Chapter 167: Fiefdom

"It's found out."

After tinkering with the officials of the Ministry of Rites, they came out of a Tibetan edict room, holding a book in their hands, and well, a map.

Hao Fenglou was full of expectations, but he was much more polite and said politely: "I would like to ask for advice from you."

The official looked at Hao Fenglou strangely and said, "I want to explain the matter of this fiefdom to you."

Hao Fenglou said: "Sir, just say that."

The officials of the hall said lightly: "This is the thing. Although the Ming Dynasty did not have the rules to grant imperial titles to Dukes and Marquis, there are exceptions. Duke of Qian, Mu Ying, do you know? Although Duke of Qian was posthumously named King of Qianning after his death, the Mu family's lineage was still a duke, and he was in Yunnan. So it is not completely without precedent."

Hao Fenglou said: "That means, my father, Luzhou Hou and Qian Duke, actually have the same meaning?"

The officials of the hall said vaguely: "It's roughly the same. I'm asking you to keep the Hao family in Luzhou, with a fief of 3,000 households south of Luzhou."

Three thousand households are indeed quite large. Some vassal kings have only so many people with fiefs. Hao Fenglou was excited and said, "That's good, but sir, where is Luzhou?"

The officials of the hall said, "Don't be busy, Zhongyuan said slowly, "No, no hurry." I checked it and the problem came out again. Although there were 3,000 households in the fief, the entire Luzhou was relatively barren, and the total population was only 1,932 households..."

Luzhou is the office of the prefecture, but the population is only 1,932 households... Hao Fenglou's eyes widened, and it sounds a bit ugly. Nearly two thousand households are 10,000 people. Even in Xiaxian, the population is almost so large. So what kind of remote mountain is Luzhou?

Hao Fenglou had already felt that he had been cheated, which was almost equivalent to exile and exile!

"Besides, it is south of Luzhou, so the registered population there is probably less than 500 households. As for the fief of 3,000 households. Haha... In addition, in the first year of Jianwen, because several prefectures in Guangxi were barren, the court issued an order to exempt several prefectures from taxes, and Luzhou happened to be within the scope of exemption. Therefore, although the lord conferred Luzhou, even if there were only 500 households, there were almost no taxes."

Guangxi...

Hao Fenglou already wanted to kill someone. It turned out that this was a blank check and he was fooled by someone.

The hall official looked at Hao Fenglou sympathetically and said, "There is another thing that must be explained. What's going on, this is the case, sir, please see."

The hall official took out the map and actually felt quite affectionate to Hao Fenglou. I don’t know if he was sympathetic to Hao Fenglou or was afraid that Hao Fenglou would suddenly hurt people, so he said warmly: “Look, Luzhou is here.”

"Here..." Hao Fenglou was shocked.

The place the government official refers to is the southwest border, hundreds of miles away from Guilin, close to Annan, which is not right... It should not be close to Annan. Hao Fenglou carefully considered it and found a more pitiful place, that is, logic is, this location should be Lang San from later generations. There is nothing wrong with that. At least part of it is Lang San from later generations, and isn’t the so-called south of Luzhou Lang San County? In other words, Lang San is now a territory of the Ming Dynasty, and its fief is here.

The official explained tragically: "The thing is like this. In the third year of Jianwen, Annan took advantage of the opportunity of His Majesty's rebellion and sent troops to occupy this Lang San County, so... So now, although the Lord is here, the land belongs to Annan. But don't worry, Your Majesty has sent envoys to ask for it. In my opinion, Annan people will probably return it. Of course, I dare not make a promise. This kind of thing is not accurate after all. There is another thing that needs to be explained clearly."

郝风楼气得发抖的道:“还有什么事?”

The government official said: "It's true. Since the land has been sealed, it's logical that it should be a vassal. Unless the order of Your Majesty, the Lord will not leave the fiefdom without permission. Therefore, according to the rules of our Ming Dynasty, the Lord should go to Lang San immediately and open the government to build a house. The court should also send the Chief Minister to assist the Lord and assist the Lord to establish the guards. Although he is a marquis, he can set up a guard like the Mu family, which is 5,600 people."

郝风楼吐血:“地都是安南的,难道让我爹去安南开府,这不是找死?”

The official of the hall said seriously: "This is a bad thing. The land belongs to my Ming Dynasty. It was just eroded by Annan, a wolf-like nature. Since the Lord has been enfeoffed in Langshan, how can the people in the fief stay in the capital? This is a rebellion. Besides, Hao Qianhu thinks about it. If the Mu family in Yunnan lost Yunnan at this time, what would it be?"

Hao Fenglou said: "Lang San has been lost, this is not the same thing."

"It's one thing." The hall official said with a stern look: "When King Qianning ordered to be Duke of Qian, Yunnan was still in the hands of Beiyuan, so King Qianning led his army to sweep Yunnan and break Kunming. From then on, he could only settle Yunnan in the world and enjoy its ancestral temples without stopping. Therefore, the emperor must go to Luzhou, of course, he can stay in Luzhou for a while. Since he is a vassal, he should be responsible for the territory. This is also the rule set by Taizu. Well, I have said so much, and I think Hao Qianhu should be able to understand, you see, I still have official duties..."

"You guys, you're so bad." Hao Fenglou was so angry that he almost suffered internal injuries. It was fine that the fief was not profitable, but it was still a hot potato. The land was gone, but it was sealed to the Hao family. If this land never came back, it would be considered your responsibility for losing the land. It would be fine. He had to send his old man to Luzhou. What's the difference between this and exile?

The officials of the hall were embarrassed: "Don't scold people, Hao Qianhu, I can understand your feelings, but this matter is not the one who decides."

郝风楼冷笑道:“就是因为你做不得主,我才骂你,做得了主的,我敢骂吗?”

这回轮到堂官气得脸都绿了,这是什么道理,嘴皮子都不由颤抖,道:“你……你……简直是不可理喻,你……你……丧心病狂,孺子不可教也.”

“教你MA个头.”

"You...you..."

“你你MA个头……”

堂官捶胸顿足,差点要吐血.

只是郝风楼已经飞也似的跑了.

郝风楼忙着赶回家去,这事儿得跟老爷子好好商量商量.

When Hao Fenglou returned home and heard Hao Fenglou's words, Hao Zheng was surprisingly calm. He glanced at Hao Fenglou and said, "It is not easy for anyone to be enfeoffed in the Ming Dynasty except for the royal family. In fact, this is reasonable. If not, I would not believe that this imperial edict was true. Now that you have asked the situation, I will dare to believe that my father will."

Hao Fenglou couldn't help but say, "Not only does that place be a remote mountain, but the land is still in the hands of Annan. The court is going to force his father to take the vassal again. What should I do?"

Hao Zheng smiled, his eyes rarely became a little sharp. He sat down, took a sip of tea and said, "Do you think it's useless to be a father? When your grandfather was there, he lived in a mess with his father's mercy. But when your grandfather left, the family was in decline. Although the family was still decent, he no longer had the same style as before. Fortunately, the Hao family had a chance. Although you were not good before, now, they are very successful. If the Hao family has today, they will have nothing to do with you. I feel uncomfortable for the father. How can a father rely on his own son?

Son? Actually, although the Hao family has been glorious and decent since they came to Nanjing, their father's heart has always been very painful. People live in this world without the comfort of wine and delicacies. Father is your father and is also alone. In fact, you also want to do a little career to leave a little something for your descendants. Now, it may not be a chance for our Hao family. As long as you take down the Luzhou fief, although it is a little remote, you can learn from the Mu family in Yunnan and prosper for generations. Therefore, this fief must be taken. For your father, you plan to go to the vassal state. After the vassal state, Your Majesty is willing to

There will be a decree to let my father go to Annan and order them to return the occupied Luzhou prefectures and counties. According to my father's opinion, even if Annan does not return, the court will almost be ready to take action. At that time, my father, the Marquis of Luzhou will naturally follow the army. I dare not say that he will make a contribution. However, as long as he is in the army, the court will definitely not break his promise. Well, you don't have to be like this. In fact, if your father has the opportunity to do something, he will feel happy. In recent years, my father has always scolded you for not being able to be successful. In fact, the one who is the father is the one who is the one who is the one who is determined and will enter the palace tomorrow.

Thank you, at most, next month, you will be ready to go to Luzhou, Haofenglou, and your mother, and you will have to take care of you in the future. Oh... Why are you a great man like this? My father's trip is a happy event. Even if something happens, the court will have to pay tribute. What are you worried about? Let's do something for your father. Instead of tossing and turning here and doing nothing, it's better to do something for you and your descendants to do what you can. I hope that when you have a lot of children and grandchildren in the future, you will always mention your grandfather and great-grandfather to them, and you will always say, "I am not ashamed of being a father."

Hao Fenglou was stunned, with tears flashing in his eyes. In fact, he and Hao's mother were getting closer and closer. He really regarded Hao's mother as his mother, but although he respected this "father", he really didn't have much feelings deep in his heart. But now...

Hao Fenglou of course understood that Hao Zheng wanted to go to the vassal state, to the smoky land, and the border that was mixed with exile, was actually just for himself and was unwilling to give up the rewards he had hard-earned. At this time, Hao Zheng, like most of the simple fathers of this era, would have the idea of ​​making contributions and becoming a marquis and blessing his descendants, but his father was willing to use his life to bet on this purpose.
