Chapter 49: The Marquis of the Ming Dynasty, who was not famous for his military exploits (Please read on, please give me a monthly ticket, please give me a recommendation ticket!)

"The girl from the Deng family has been waiting for me for so many years, how could I let her down?"

Zhu Chong nodded slightly and smiled.

The girl of the Deng family, the legitimate daughter of Duke of Weiguo Deng Yu, and also Zhu Chong’s childhood sweetheart.

So if there was no Wang Yuemin, then Zhu Chong’s Princess Qin would be the girl from the Deng family.

However, this girl from the Deng family was also stubborn and refused to marry anyone else. She was wholeheartedly waiting for Zhu Chong to marry her, and even make her a concubine.

"I want the daughter of the Duke of Wei to be your concubine. Uncle Deng, do you agree?"

In response, Zhu Biao sighed softly again, then looked at Zhu Chong and said, "Besides, Uncle Deng is also an old brother of Grandpa, how can you ask Grandpa to speak?"

Deng Yu, one of the six founding dukes of the Ming Dynasty, had a high status, so even the princes had to address him respectfully as "Uncle Deng."

If she were to marry into the royal family, she would have to be a principal wife, not just a concubine.

Therefore, once Zhu Yuanzhang spoke to Deng Yu, it would be tantamount to humiliating his old brother. How could Zhu agree to it?

"This"

Upon hearing this, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Zhu Chong's eyes.

It is indeed impossible for the daughter of Duke of Wei, Deng Yu, to be a concubine.

As for crippling Wang Yuemin, that was even more impossible.

Not to mention that Wang Yuemin did not make any mistakes, even if he did, Zhu Chong could not depose Wang Yuemin at this critical juncture.

What's more, Zhu Chong and Wang Yuemin have been married for a few years. Even though their emotional foundation is not deep, they are human beings. Who can be heartless?
After all, the current King of Qin Zhu Chong is no longer the King of Qin Zhu Chong in history, so he naturally cannot be so ruthless.

And even if Zhu Chong could have the heart to depose Wang Yuemin, how would people in the world view the Zhu family?
"The third child."

After another moment, Zhu Biao and Zhu Chong both looked at Zhu Gang who was leaning against the door.

This brat has always been full of clever ideas since he was young, so he must have an idea to have the best of both worlds in this matter.

"Brother, it's not as complicated as you think."

"And since the old man can't speak, why don't you go to the Duke of Wei's mansion in person and meet Uncle Deng."

"After all, if the girl from the Deng family doesn't get married, she will really become an old maid."

"So as long as you can explain it to him with emotion and reason, Uncle Deng may not disagree."

Seeing the two Zhu Biao brothers glancing at him, Zhu Gang's eyes first showed a hint of helplessness, then he simply spread out his palms and said.

"It's that simple?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Zhu Chong's eyes.

"nonsense."

Zhu Gang rolled his eyes at Zhu Chong and said.

"Then I will go visit Uncle Deng tomorrow."

After saying this, a hint of joy finally appeared in Zhu Chong's eyes.

"It's up to you, but I can tell you that my second sister-in-law loves you wholeheartedly."

"So even if you like the girl from the Deng family, you can't neglect your second sister-in-law, and you can't favor your concubine over your wife, otherwise I won't forgive you."

But in response to Zhu Chong's joy, Zhu Gang looked at Zhu Chong and whispered.

"do not worry."

Zhu Chong of course understood what Zhu Gang meant, so he patted Zhu Gang on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Regarding Yue Min and Zhi Ruo, Second Brother treats them equally and never shows partiality."

"Zhiruo."

When this name sounded, the corners of Zhu Gang's mouth twitched slightly again.

Deng Zhiruo, this name is indeed very good.

"Boss, I also want to ask you something."

But Zhu Gang did not hesitate too much, he turned to look at Zhu Biao and spoke.

"what's up?"

Zhu Biao sat down on the steps, then looked up at Zhu Gang and said.

"I would like to ask for the title of nobility for my subordinates Deng Zhen and Tang Ding. Do you think the old man would agree?"

Seeing Zhu Biao sitting down, Zhu Gang also pulled Zhu Chong to sit next to Zhu Biao, and then spoke. "Confer a title!"

Zhu Biao was suddenly shocked.

"Are they the Deng Zhen and Tang Ding that I know?"

Even Zhu Chong looked at Zhu Gang with surprise.

"of course."

Zhu Gang did not deny it.

"That shouldn't be possible."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chong simply shook his head.

"It's not should, it's absolutely impossible."

"Don't forget, whether it's Uncle Tang or Uncle Deng, their titles are already quite high."

"Besides, whether it's Deng Zhen or Tang Ding, they are both the eldest sons, so they will definitely inherit their father's title in the future."

Zhu Biao also raised his head and looked at Zhu Gang very seriously and said, "So how could the old man agree to confer titles on them?"

Deng Yu was the Duke of Weiguo, which was the highest title a subject could obtain, and it was also a hereditary title that would last the rest of the country.

There was also Zhongshan Hou Tang He. Although he was a marquis, even the six founding dukes were polite when they met Tang He.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang would never let Tang He remain the Marquis of Zhongshan forever. He would definitely be promoted to the Duke of Guo in the future.

So how could Zhu Yuanzhang confer a title on the eldest son of Tang He and Deng Yu?

"Tang Ding and Deng Zhen joined me in the conquest of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. We fought in many battles, big and small. They were the bravest among the three armies and had great military achievements."

"That's why I want to ask for the knighthood for the two brothers. Even though the hope is slim, I have to give it a try."

Zhu Gang shook his head.

Of course, Zhu Gang also understood Zhu Biao's meaning. After all, the honor of having two titles in one family was too great, so it was normal that Zhu Biao did not want to give it.

In the entire Ming Dynasty, the only family with two titles was my eldest cousin Li Wenzhong and my uncle Li Zhen, who shared the same title.

But it is not an exaggeration to say that Zhu Gang, Tang Ding and Deng Zhen are brothers in life and death, so even if the hope is slim, Zhu Gang still wants to fight for them.

Zhu Biao naturally knew Zhu Gang's stubbornness, and a hint of contemplation flashed across his eyes. Of course, he was not trying to persuade Zhu Gang, but was thinking about how to persuade their old man.

"Our old man has a good reputation."

However, Zhu Chong put his arm around Zhu Gang's shoulders, narrowed his eyes and smiled, "But I also love my son."

"What do you mean?"

Zhu Gang frowned immediately. What does this concern with loving his son?
"Of course you don't understand. After all, you have only made the old man angry since you were a child."

"Then let's do the opposite this time. Let's make the old man happy first, and then bring up the matter of conferring titles on Deng Zhen and Tang Ding."

"Then this is at least 90% certain."

As he spoke, Zhu Chong smiled wickedly again and said, "After all, the old man's greatest wish in this life is that you can appease him."

"good idea."

Before Zhu Gang could react, Zhu Biao's eyes lit up.

"right?"

Hearing this, Zhu Chong looked at Zhu Biao proudly again.

"If we lower our heads, we can earn the title of Marquis for Deng Zhen and Tang Ding. Besides, the other party is our father. It's a win-win situation. Let's do it."

After Zhu Gang thought for a moment, he nodded.

"Marquis? You are dreaming!"

But the two brothers were not happy and looked at Zhu Gang in unison.

Still want to be conferred a marquisate?

If you can be granted the title of earl, you should be secretly happy.

After all, not to mention that Tang He has not yet been conferred the title of Duke, he is only a Marquis now.

Even among all the marquises in the Ming Dynasty today, which one of them is not a famous military hero and a great general who has fought bravely on the battlefield?
So these two little bastards want to be conferred the title of marquis?
