Everyone has to make their own choice.

But any choice will affect his life. For this, Zhu Yujian can be said to have an extremely deep understanding. This understanding is deeper than anyone else. After all, in the high walls of Zhongdu, he is more affected than those nameless and noble clan members.

Lots of "care".

It is precisely because of past experiences that Zhu Yujian will cherish the present and this opportunity even more.

Zhu Yujian was like this, and so were most of the clan members who were released from the high walls of Zhongdu by Zhu Guoqiang, as well as the clan members summoned from Lu Fan and other places.

Among these clans, there are famous ones like Zhu Yujian, and there are more than six hundred ordinary clans. Some of them are distant clans of various vassals, and many of them are nameless clans. This is the characteristic of the Ming Dynasty.

After a clan member gives birth, he or she needs to apply for a name from the court. Before a name is given, there is only a baby name, and a baby name does not carry a clan title. The conditions for the court to grant names are extremely stringent, and the court even controls the reproduction of clan members through the naming system. After all,

, if you don’t give a name, you don’t need to pay Zonglu. So the Ministry of Rites will give you a name instead of the prince handing over a certificate. They have hundreds of reasons to refuse to give a name. For example, anyone whose biological mother is unlucky or who is not born to a good family girl is not allowed.

Give a name.

Even if it is submitted, it may not be approved at any time.

Even the famous Emperor Jiajing had to wait eight years from the time he was born to the time he was given his name!

It's almost like a war of resistance. This is the crown prince's son, and it's so complicated to name him, let alone other ordinary clans.

Many clans are named Tianhuang Guizhou, but in fact they cannot take the name for life. For example, during the Wanli period of the Jin Dynasty, there was a clan member in the Xihe Palace who was named "Xiao Ba Lao", and there was even a clan clan member in the Zhou clan who "kept on using the nickname for the rest of his life until he was six or seventy years old."

." These lower-level clan members were unable to obtain corresponding political and economic treatment because they were unable to claim their names. The same was true for their descendants. They only had the status of clan members in the clan register of the feudal government.

In fact, the situation of many low-level clans is not much better than that of the unknown clans. These clans are a burden to the vassals and the court, but for "Zhu Ciying" who is the leader of the Ming Dynasty and the resurgence of the Ming Dynasty, these "descendants of Emperor Gao" are simply

They are the best cannon fodder. Now he needs such clan members to be on the front line of the army, standing in the front to show the integrity of the clan!

He was determined to make good use of these people.

So today he stood outside the door in person to greet these clan members.

Looking at the clan members with different expressions in front of him, Zhu Guoqiang said seriously.

"We are all descendants of Emperor Gao. Among you, in terms of seniority, there are both my great-uncle and my nephew. I won't say anything else. The current situation in the world is very clear to everyone. The thieves are rogue.

After occupying the capital and forcing the late emperor to die for his country, the late emperor did not pass the emperor to the prince, but gave it to me instead. Why? Just to preserve the empire of our ancestors! This empire does not belong to me alone, nor does it belong to the Defan family. Everyone belongs to

If you have a share, don’t say that if you don’t have Zonglu, you won’t have a share!”

Zhu Guoqiang looked at these people and said coldly.

"Thieves were offered to kill Xiangfan. When the entire Chu dynasty was established, they did not ask whether they were famous or unknown. As for the intruders, the same was true for Chongfan, Qinfan, Jinfan, Daifan and other vassals. They were all killed and no one was left.

, right now we are protecting our country, rather our lives. If we don’t defeat the intruders, not only our ancestors’ country will not be protected, but our lives will also be lost.”

Looking at these people in front of me, the leader is Zhu Yujian. He has the kind of restrained and tenacious temperament that he has developed through many trials and hardships, which other ordinary sect members do not have.

Looking at Zhu Yujian, Zhu Guoqiang asked:

"Tang Fan, you are willing to break into pieces to preserve the country of your ancestors!"

When Zhu Yujian heard His Majesty calling him "Tang Fan", he almost burst into tears with excitement.

Of course, he is said to be a distant vassal, but he is also the superintendent of the late emperor's imperial edict. The future emperor of the Ming Dynasty, although he has not ascended the throne, is already the common ruler of the world!

Your Majesty calls himself "Tang Fan", is he trying to restore his title of vassal king?

Even after he was released from prison, Zhu Yujian has been worrying about gains and losses. Now when he hears His Majesty shouting like this, how can he not be excited?

Thinking of this, Zhu Yujian hurriedly knelt down and said.

"Now the bandits are raging, the lives of the people are in ruins, and the country of the ancestors is in danger. Although Zhu Yujian is a commoner, he is also a descendant of the Emperor Gao. How can he bear to see this? Zhu Yujian is willing to be a pawn in the prison, even if he is shattered to pieces, he will restore the country of his ancestors.

, Let the people of the world live in peace again!"

Seeing him kneeling, everyone else knelt down one after another and said in unison, "I am willing to be a soldier in the prison, even if my body is broken to pieces, I will restore my ancestors and let the people of the world live in peace again!"

"Get up, get up, please get up."

Zhu Guoqiang helped Zhu Yujian up with a smile on his face, and then motioned for the others to get up.

"Prince Tang, don't call yourself a commoner anymore,"

Zhu Guoqiang said warmly,

"The late emperor's punishment of deposing you as a commoner and imprisoning you in a high wall is indeed unfair. I have already issued an order to rehabilitate you, and you are still the vassal king of my Ming Dynasty!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your great kindness!"

Zhu Yujian was already moved to tears, and everyone around him looked at him with envy.

Looking at him with a smile, he waited until he finished wiping his tears before saying:

"But your fiefdom is still in the hands of the bandits, who are raging in the Central Plains. If you want to restore the power of your ancestors, everyone must work together and work together!"

Zhu Yujian was stunned and looked at His Majesty with some doubts.

Zhu Guoqiang smiled and said:

"Is the King of Tang willing to serve as a lone supervisor of the army?"

"Supervisory Army?"

Zhu Yujian was stunned. Isn't this the position of a eunuch?

"Don't get me wrong, King Tang. The so-called middle-ranking officials do not succeed enough but fail more than they should. It is extremely ridiculous to use middle-ranking officials as supervisors. From now on, the supervisors of the Ming Dynasty will all be appointed by the clan, so the clan must go to the army.

Take office!"

Zhu Guoqiang looked around the crowd and said,

"I want you to serve in the army not so that you can enjoy leisure and happiness. Moreover, if you are transferred to a real position, you will not only represent me in the army to assist in military affairs, supervise military discipline, but also charge into battle during wars. The military commander is not only sent to

The commander-in-chief, even the camp sentry, will send out the commander-in-chief. In the army, you don't have to interfere in the military affairs. You just need to set an example and do a good job in the ideological work of the soldiers."

In fact, from the beginning, Zhu Guoqiang had no intention of setting up a supervisory army. The supervisory army he established was not so much a supervisory army as a political commissar, or a position similar to a political commissar, but now this position is

It will be held by members of the clan. As for the future, when the system matures, it will be changed to an officer.

He paused and sighed:

"If we want to restore our ancestors' power, we can't just let the soldiers shed their lives and shed blood. As members of the clan, you should also make sacrifices. In addition, it is also necessary to restore the system of vassal kings commanding troops and guarding them in the future! There will be vassal kings in the world tomorrow.

If you don't come out to serve the country and protect the country of your ancestors, why don't you let outsiders come to protect the country of the Zhu family? Do you think this is the right thing to do?"

This is to make the clan members serve as cannon fodder in the army!

Don't these clan members understand the meaning of supervising the country, but they say that they will not hesitate to break their bodies to pieces, but not everyone is willing to do this.

For a moment, everyone was silent, and Zhu Yujian also frowned.

When everyone was silent, Zhu Youzhu, who was born in Zhangde Zhao Fan, saluted.

"What the supervisor said is true. It is our duty to protect the country of our ancestors. But I don't know, what if we are lucky enough to make meritorious service in the military?"

"Reward for merit!"

Zhu Guoqiang said.

"I said before that the Ming Dynasty must restore the system of vassal kings commanding troops and guarding the country. When the world is peaceful in the future, meritorious officials will be awarded titles. The same is true for your clan. If you have achieved military merit, let alone the lowest rank of Lieutenant in Fengguo, then

I’m afraid that even if you enfeoff the prince, you will be able to do so!”

ah!

Not to mention clan members like Zhu Yujian and Zhu Youzhu, even the surrounding officials were shocked. They all looked at Jian Guo in surprise, wondering what Jian Guo was going to do.

"Don't think that Gu is just talking nonsense, saying that this is not in line with the ancestral system. The late emperor passed the throne to Gu in order to protect the ancestors. Does it comply with the ancestral system? According to the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, can it be passed down to Gu? Even if it goes around the wheel, it will not

It will definitely be Defan's turn, the ancestral system cannot be violated? What is the ancestral system? Preserving the country of the ancestors is the greatest ancestral system! The one who protects the country is the ancestral system. If we just talk about the ancestral system, no, can the emperor conquer the Ming Dynasty?

, what is the ancestral system of our Lao Zhu family, please tell us."

What is the ancestral system of Lao Zhu’s family?

Needless to say, everyone knows what it is. It must be begging for food with a broken bowl.

Even Emperor Gao did not hide this when writing history books. Zhu Guoqiang certainly did not need to hide it.

"Emperor Gao has carried broken bowls, asked for meals, and served as a monk in the temple. If Ou Huangdi insists on guarding these things, I would like to ask you, is there still a world in our Ming Dynasty? They all kept talking.

According to the ancestral rules, Emperor Gao even passed the throne to Jianwen. What is the ancestral system? Please tell me one by one."

In fact, it means that you can talk nonsense at this position. If it were anyone else who said this, it would be treason.

Even if he was here to ask, no one in the crowd would stand up and say anything. Everyone hung their heads and did not dare to speak anymore.

What else can you say? Could it be that you stand up and pat your chest and say, "The ancestral magic weapon of our old Zhu family is to beg for food with a broken bowl."

Who dares to say such a thing?

It may not matter if you say this now, but if you bring it up again in the future, you may lose your head.

Seeing that no one dared to pick up his topic, Zhu Guoqiang was not surprised. It would be really strange if someone dared to pick up the topic.

So he said again seriously.

"Not to mention Emperor Gao, even Emperor Chengzu would be so angry that he would kick the lid of the coffin if he knew that everyone in the world was still sticking to the old rules. What is ancestral system?"

Once again, Zhu Guoqiang asked rhetorically.
Chapter completed!
