Needless to say, the others all made tremendous contributions.

Of course, even the legitimate daughter of such a meritorious official could be sentenced to death by Zhu Yuanzhang. Deng Yu's legitimate daughter was a concubine of Prince Qin, Zhu Shuang. Because she mistreated palace servants and the principal wife, Zhao Min, and even overstepped the prescribed limits, she was also sentenced to death without mercy by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Even Feng Sheng could only be ranked in the East Order, which was because the first in the East Order was Duke Feng Guoyong of Ying, Feng Sheng's elder brother. Although Feng Sheng had greater merit, and these things didn't necessarily matter at the moment, no one would think it was wrong, and this could be considered Feng Sheng's intention.

After all, in his earlier years, Feng Sheng had devoted himself to cultivating his nephew, Feng Cheng. Only after much pleading and entreaty did he manage to bring his grandson back from the Chang family and raise him as his own, thus ensuring the continuation of the family line. Even in his later years, when he was suspected and sidelined by Old Zhu, he had no complaints.

Old Zhu nodded and said, "If Fu Youde can be in the main hall, then our Temple of Meritorious Officials will have twenty-four people in the future."

Zhu Yunying thought for a moment and said, "Well, that's about it, at most if we add Marquis Wuding, Guo Ying."

Old Zhu was silent for a moment before saying, "Let Guo Si be buried with Xiaoling Mausoleum and enter the Temple of Meritorious Officials. To be honest, we still prefer Guo San and Guo Si, but Guo San is Guo San after all."

Guo San, also known as Guo Xing, was one of the twenty-four generals of Huaixi. Due to his lack of discipline, he was only granted the title of Marquis of Gongchang and was not qualified to be buried in the Xiaoling Mausoleum. However, Guo Si, the veteran general Guo Ying, was always loyal and cautious, and because of Consort Ning, Emperor Zhu always liked him very much.

If we calculate it that way, twenty-five people should be about right.

If there are too many people, it loses its prestige; getting into the Temple of Meritorious Officials is not so easy!
