Chapter 694 The Righteousness between the King and His Subjects(2/2)
"
"Please rest assured, Master Jun, we will take good care of the family for them."
"This is His Majesty's hometown. Some of you were once His Majesty's tenants. You don't have to worry about these children. They are His Majesty's fellow villagers and His Majesty's subjects. This time is also a great blessing and opportunity for them. They
I will definitely be able to return home in glorious glory in the future.”
June.
Zhu Yihai visited his hometown of Yanzhou, not only going deep into various counties and villages, but even going down to country estates.
A thousand young men were also selected from the countryside of Yanzhou and given five hundred to each of the two princes as bodyguards. These rural young men were allowed to study, practice martial arts, and grow up with the two princes.
"Your Majesty, Governor Qi of Sichuan urgently reports that Duke Qin Liangyu of Shu has passed away due to illness."
The emperor who was eating was stunned when he heard the news.
After a long time, there was a long sigh.
"Old General Qin is a heroine, but it's a pity that the year never ends."
Zhu Yihai called the bachelor to draft an edict.
"I posthumously named Duke Qin Liangyu of the Kingdom of Shu as the Prince of Fuling County. He was given the posthumous title of Zhongzhen. I gave him the title of Taibao. I also gave him the title of Zhongzhen, a man who had made great achievements in establishing a saint and establishing the country! He was buried with the ceremony of a prince!"
"Being buried in the imperial mausoleum, he was entitled to enjoy the imperial temple, and all civil and military officials were in mourning. They stayed away from court for five days and the whole country mourned!
"As a posthumous gift to Ma Xianglin, the Stone Pillar Xuan Comfort Envoy, the Admiral of Sichuan, and the Duke of Shu."
"It is specially intended that Qin Liangyu's eldest grandson Ma Wannian be granted the title of Duke of Shu and be granted the title of Admiral of Sichuan."
Qin Liangyu passed away at the age of seventy-five. He also died with full merit and deeds. But for the imperial court, this was a big loss. The southwestern pillar of heaven collapsed.
This female chieftain general was very loyal and had fought for the country for many years. She was also a loyal member of the family. No reward, commendation or condolence was too much.
"Bring me my plain clothes, I also want to express my condolences to the prince!"
The kindness that has always been fulfilled, the righteousness of the king and his ministers, the virtues of the past recorded by the sages, and the beauty of life, glory and death, are listed in the annals of history to show the future.
It is also a kind of grace and honor for ministers to leave the court to express condolences.
In the Ming Dynasty, only Dukes, princes, and first-grade officials enjoyed the benefits of leaving the country for a day.

"Every newspaper publishes an obituary notice to deeply mourn the death of Prince Qin."
Zhu Yihai requested that Qin Liangyu's coffin be transported to Nanjing and buried under Zhongshan Mountain. That is where Taizu Xiaoling Mausoleum is located, and Zhu Yihai had planned to bury him in Zhongshan Mountain next to Xiaoling Mausoleum in the future.
Being buried in the imperial mausoleum is even more of an honor.
Qin Liangyu served as a frontline for Zhu Yihai, and went down to Jiuquan to recruit his old troops and build territory for him. He was buried there after his death.
Not to mention being able to enjoy the Ancestral Temple.
The emperor of each dynasty usually selects a few civil servants and generals who have made great achievements to share with them, and they will continue to work together as emperor and ministers underground in the future. The requirements for being selected are extremely high, and there are not many.
To enjoy the Imperial Ancestral Temple with the emperor, when future emperors come to offer sacrifices to this emperor, they will also have to kneel down and worship the meritorious ministers next to them. How great an honor is this for the ministers?
Qin Liangyu, a woman, was finally able to be granted the title of duke during her lifetime and the king after her death. She could also be buried in the imperial mausoleum and enjoy the ancestral temple. It can be said that Zhu Yihai gave Qin Liangyu the highest honor he could give to his ministers.
This is not only a tribute to Qin Liangyu's lifelong loyalty and meritorious service, but also an example for the world. It also declares that Zhu Yihai is generous in rewarding meritorious ministers.
In the past, Huang Degong was named King of Jingnan after his death, and now Qin Liangyu is named King of Fuling.
"Register the Baigan Sichuan soldiers who followed the King of Qin and died in state affairs over the years. Each family member will be given ten silver dollars as a pension. Each of the Baigan Sichuan soldiers in active service will be rewarded with five silver dollars."
