Chapter seven hundred and seventy-one sacrifice soup and

The news of the arrest of King Zhu Wei of Min was delivered to Zhu Yunqiu, but it was not announced immediately. Instead, when the fleet arrived in Nanjing and was about to go to Xiaoling to worship Lao Zhu, Zhu Yunqiu announced the news.

As soon as the news of King Min was arrested came out, all the vassal kings were shocked. Although they had known that King Min would not have any good ending, they did not expect that the court was so fast that King Min did not even organize a decent resistance, and was taken down by Mu Sheng in one go. Now they are about to escort to Nanjing.

When King Min refused to go to the capital, many vassal kings wanted to see Zhu Yunyu's jokes. Even though Zhu Yunyu later announced King Min's crimes, many people still felt that Zhu Yunyu should not dare to do anything to King Min.

However, the result is now coming out, and these vassal kings who are watching the fun suddenly discovered that Zhu Yunxi was really good this time and would never be lenient if he dared to do the right thing with the court, even his uncle would not do it.

Therefore, this incident shocked many vassal kings. At the beginning of the next day's sacrificial activities, all vassal kings performed in a proper manner, and no one dared to underestimate any decision of Zhu Yunyu.

In fact, there are sacrifices in Xiaoling every year. Although Zhu Yunyu was not convenient to come in the past, he would send his trusted ministers to preside over the sacrifice every year. However, this time he came in person and summoned all the princes who could come. Therefore, the scale of the sacrifice was naturally very large, and the sacrifice time was a full month.

Li Jie also accompanied Zhu Yunyu to participate in the sacrificial activities a few days ago. After the busiest preliminary activities passed, he asked someone to prepare a small offering, and then came to Lao Zhu's tomb alone with the offering.

However, Li Jie did not come to worship Lao Zhu. After all, the sacrifices in front of Lao Zhu’s tomb have been filled in the past few days, and Lao Zhu has his own children and grandchildren to sacrifice, so there is no need for Li Jie, the grandson-in-law, to go there specially.

I saw Li Jie coming to the right side of Lao Zhu’s tomb, there was a small tomb here, with a line of large characters engraved on the tombstone: Tang Heling, King of Xiangwu in Oudong, Mingdong!

That's right, this is Tang He's tomb. Tang He, who should have died earlier than Lao Zhu, lived several years longer than Lao Zhu due to historical changes. In the last time of his life, he came to Xiaoling to guard Lao Zhu's tomb. He himself became a monk. When Li Jie came to Nanjing for the last time, he borrowed troops from Tang He.

But three years ago, Tang He finally left. According to the report of the general guarding the tomb, Tang He left very peacefully, and he seemed to have a premonition that his life span had come to an end, so he also left a suicide note.

In Tang He's suicide note, he hoped that he could be buried with Lao Zhu after his death, and as for the ancestral tomb in his hometown, a tomb could be erected, and these requirements were also realized with the help of Li Jie.

In fact, there is not only Lao Zhu's Xiao Mausoleum in Forbidden Mountain, but also Xu Da and Chang Yuchun's tombs are here, but they all form tombs alone. In contrast, Tang He only set up an isolated tomb next to Lao Zhu's tomb. If anyone who didn't know about it, he would probably not have noticed that there was a tomb here at all.

When Li Jie came to Tang He's tomb, he saw that there were many sacrifices placed in front of the tomb. After all, Zhu Yunyu sacrificed Lao Zhu and the tombs of Tang He, Xu Da and others. After all, they were all founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty and could afford such sacrifices.

Li Jie put down the offerings in his hand. There was a food box, which contained several side dishes made by Li Jie. When he and Tang He went to Ningbo to clear out the Japanese pirates, the two often sat together and drank and chatted. Tang He also admired Li Jie's skills very much. Unfortunately, the two never had the chance to chat like before.

Li Jie placed the offerings, then poured three glasses of wine for Tang He himself, then sighed, and then talked about the situation of the Ming Dynasty over the years, and also told Tang He about the situation of the Tang family after his death.

Originally, Tang He's family was very miserable, because his son died early and his grandson died early. As a result, Tang He's Duke of Xinguo was only passed down for one generation, and his descendants were unable to inherit it. Later, Emperor Shizong of Ming Dynasty appointed Tang He's fifth-generation grandson as the Marquis of Lingbi, and finally gave the Tang family an explanation.

However, Tang He's title has been passed down smoothly. Because Li Jie had promised Tang He to help him take care of the Tang family, Tang He's son died, so he chose his grandson Tang Sheng as his heir, but Tang Sheng's health was not very good, and he was born with medicine in this era that could not be cured at all.

So before Tang He passed away, Tang Sheng also died, but Tang Sheng left behind several unadulterated children. In the original history, it was precisely because these children did not become adults that the title of Duke Xin Guo was not passed down.

But now with the help of Li Jie, Tang Sheng inherited the position of Duke early in his childhood son. This is also an explanation Li Jie gave to Tang He. Now, under his protection, the Tang family is just a group of orphans and widows, but no one dares to bully them.

Li Jie stayed in front of Tang He's tomb for a long time, and finally left until the sun sets. As soon as he returned to his residence, he was summoned by Zhu Yunyu.

When Li Jie came to see Zhu Yunxiu, he found that there were actually others here. When Li Jie saw the other party, he also looked surprised and said, "Brother Mu, you are here. Have you been escorted to King Min?"

Li Jie met Mu Sheng, and the other party was even more happy to see Li Jie. The two were friends for many years, but since Mu Sheng returned to Yunnan to inherit the title, they had not seen each other for many years.

"Brother-in-law, you and Duke Qian will reminisce about the past later. King Min has been escorted here. Let's discuss what to do with him!" Zhu Yunxiu interrupted Li Jie and Mu Sheng with a smile.

"King Min is already arbitrary and should have been dealt with by crimes. This time he openly disobeyed His Majesty's will and even pretended to be sick and refused to go to the capital. I thought he could be punished for deceiving the king!" Before Li Jie could speak, Mu Sheng answered first. The father and son had a great conflict with King Min. Now that King Min is arrested, he naturally would not give up this good opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

"I think Brother Mu is very honest. If King Min is not serious, it may be difficult to convince the public!" Li Jie also agreed with Mu Sheng's idea very much and immediately stood up and said.

In fact, Zhu Yunyu, the King of Min, had already had an idea of ​​how to deal with it. Anyway, he must have tried to kill one to warn him. Now Mu Sheng and Li Jie say this, so he also agreed with the situation. So the fate of King of Min was determined by the three of them.

After the matter was discussed, Li Jie and Mu Sheng said goodbye to Zhu Yunsheng and left. However, as soon as they left the room, Li Jie found that Mu Sheng's face had become heavy, and he looked full of worries.
