Zhang Weixian didn't respond to Chen Wenli's words, but Zhang Weixian also knew that Chen Wenli's words made sense.
The Emperor nurtured the sons of the Honours. In fact, he was also giving the Honours a chance to see if they could be trained.
If it could be cultivated, it would naturally be for the good of everyone. If it couldn't be cultivated, Zhang Weixian didn't even dare to think about it anymore.
As Honours from the Yongle era, the House of Lords was very clear about many things.
At the beginning of the founding of the Taizu Empire, he abolished the previous dynasty's son and baron titles, and established only the Duke, Marquis, and Count, three grades of nobility. And according to the iron coupon, these three grades could be further divided into seven grades, namely the first grade Duke, second grade Duke, first grade Marquis, second grade Marquis, third grade Marquis, first grade Count, second grade Count.
When Taizu founded the country, many titles were conferred. Some were conferred while others were conferred posthumously. In other words, some were conferred posthumously while some were conferred posthumously. Some were conferred posthumously while others were conferred posthumously.
For example, the Duke of Yue, Hu Dahai, and the Duke of Cai, Zhang Desheng, were conferred posthumous titles after their deaths, and their descendants were not allowed to inherit the title. It was purely a title given to deceased meritorious officials.
There were a total of seven dukes who had been conferred the title of dukes: Duke of Wei Xu Da, Duke of E Chang Yuchun, Duke of Han Li Shanchang, Duke of Cao Li Wenzhong, Duke of Song Feng Sheng, Duke of Wei Deng Yu, and Duke of Xin Tang He.
Among the seven High Dukes, other than the House of High Duke of Wei, who else was still alive?
For example, Duke of E Chang Yuchun, Duke of Cao Li Wenzhong, Duke of Wei Deng Yu, and Duke of Xin Tang He were considered to be lucky.
Li Shanchang, the Duke of Han, was killed. Feng Shengci, the Duke of Song, was killed.
There were a total of 58 Marquises and Earls. Other than the Count of Sincerity Liu Ji, the Marquis of Xiping Mu Ying, and the Marquis of Wuding Guo Ying, the rest were either sentenced to death or killed.
Although a few of them were destroyed during the Yongle period, the rest all died during the Hongwu period.
From the Yongle era until now, only a little more than a hundred titles of nobility had been conferred. How many titles were left?
Not even fifty.
The current emperor was also a great ruler, an emperor who wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder with Emperor Cheng Zu.
Daming's Honours had come to this point, so he had to show his usefulness. Otherwise, it would not be long before he learned from the mistakes of others!
Zhang Weixian still remembered what his grandfather had said to him before he died. As an Honours, he had to stand by the Emperor's side and make the Emperor feel that he was useful. Otherwise, his doomsday would not be far away.
The Son of Heaven's Grace had been severed for five generations. The current Emperor even wanted to purge the Imperial Family and make them earn their own living, let alone the Honours.
If the Honours couldn't show their usefulness, then this kindness would be a death sentence.
Zhang Weixian agreed with his grandfather's words, but he didn't expect things to happen so soon.
Looking at the camp below, Zhang Weixian sighed. He was under a lot of pressure. He had to win this battle, and he had to win it beautifully. Otherwise, there would be a wave of purges in the imperial court.
In particular, the current Emperor could be said to be very generous to the Honours. The opportunity to make a fortune came with Honours.
Under such circumstances, how could the Emperor allow the Honours in the imperial court to sit and eat without doing anything?
The Honours in the imperial court also understood that the Emperor's intention to support the new military forces in the imperial court was very obvious. Otherwise, the Honours would not have sent their descendants to the military so wantonly.
Whether it was the branch family or the direct bloodline, all of them entered the martial lecture hall.
Even the heir was sent over. They all knew that one had to risk their lives on the battlefield. But if they didn't risk their lives at this time, then they wouldn't even have the chance to risk their lives in the future. Zhang Weixian knew the cruelty of this.
However, these words couldn't be said, and could only be understood. This was an era of great shuffling.
Zhang Weixian believed that there would definitely be people who would use this opportunity to suddenly rise, but there would definitely be people who would be dragged down.
In the words of the Emperor, the tide was rolling, and it couldn't be stopped. It all depended on who could become the tide driver.
Glancing at Zhang Weixian, Chen Wenli sighed. "Let's go!
It's getting late, and we have to continue our journey tomorrow. "
Zhang Weixian nodded and said nothing. He followed Chen Wenli to the commander's tent.
When the East Camp of the Jingying Camp rushed to Liaodong, Zhu Yijun was receiving the King of Korea, Li Xun.
After the banquet, Zhu Yijun took Li Xun to the palace. The two of them wanted to talk in private.
Li Xun was in awe of Zhu Yijun, so he spoke carefully.
On the way, Li Xun learned more about the Daming. He deeply understood the power of the Emperor, who had been on the throne for 20 years but was still young.
The strength of the Ming Army was far beyond Li Xun's expectations. While Li Xun was overjoyed, he was even more afraid of Zhu Yijun.
Since the Emperor ascended the throne, he worked hard and reversed the decline of the Daming in one fell swoop. Now the Daming was not only rich, but also had a strong army. The Emperor was a man of his word, unlike Li Xun, who was troubled by his ministers.
After Zhu Yijun sat down, he said to the King of Korea, Li Xun, "Sit!"
After thanking Zhu Yijun, Li Xun sat down.
Glancing at Li Xun, Zhu Yijun said with a smile, "I actually like the scenery of Korea very much. I originally wanted to have a chance to go to Korea, but I didn't expect the Japanese pirates to attack."
"That day, when I heard about the current situation in Korea from the envoy of Korea, I was also anxious!"
Li Xun quickly said, "Your Majesty, the people of Korea are grateful to you."
Zhu Yijun nodded and said with a smile, "You don't have to be polite. You are not an outsider. Today, I asked you to stay alone because I want to talk to you about the troops."
After hearing Zhu Yijun's words, Li Xun quickly said, "I will listen to your orders."
After arriving at Daming, Li Xun understood that he had no conditions to talk about.
Of course, when he was in Korea, Li Xun did not think about talking about conditions with Daming.
However, the words of the Left Magistrate, Yin Doushou, made some ripples in Li Xun's heart.
After arriving at Daming, the Left Magistrate, Yin Doushou, seemed to have forgotten what he had said. No one mentioned what he had said before.
Li Xun also understood that Yin Doushou did not dare to say those words again.
After hearing Li Xun's words, Zhu Yijun nodded with satisfaction.
"The Japanese Empire has not been well-behaved in recent years. During the Jiajing period, they also made trouble on the southeast coast of Daming for a while, and the momentum was not small.
Originally, I thought that they would be well-behaved. I didn't expect that they would invade Korea this time, burning, killing, and looting. They did such things that are worse than beasts. "
"After I heard about this, I had an idea in my heart. This time, I want to teach the Japanese pirates a good lesson."
Zhu Yijun looked at Li Xun and said with a smile, "After all, this war is fought in Korea, so I hope that Korea can cooperate as much as possible."
After hearing Zhu Yijun's words, Li Xun quickly said, "Your Majesty, please arrange it. No one in Korea will disobey."
