Chapter 126 The grievance between Jiajing and Zhengde

Zhu Jie was hunting in the wind, squinting his eyes slightly. Unfortunately, his face was a bit fat. When he squinted like this, he felt like he couldn't even see his eyes.

Suddenly, Emperor Jiajing, who had just returned to the jade seal, suddenly appeared next to Zhu Jie. He looked up at the sky with a surprised look on his face. Zhu Jie was startled by the sudden appearance of Emperor Jiajing. It turned out that he had some unfathomable abilities.

The children suddenly disappeared.

I couldn't help but ask: "Sir, why did you come out again?"

Emperor Jiajing suddenly slapped Zhu Jie to the ground and said, "Why are you asking so many questions? Kneel down to greet your ancestors!"

Zhu Jie's pupils suddenly shrank, he quickly got up and said with a smile: "You mean, there are other... ancestors coming over?"

"Hahaha, Jiajing! I finally caught you, come here!"

Suddenly, two figures suddenly appeared in the sky in front of them, as if they were walking out of the void, which was very strange.

"Zhu Jie, the 31st great-great-grandson of Emperor Hongwu, pays homage to his two ancestors."

Zhu Jie quickly bowed and saluted, but the figures of the two people were a little vague. He had never seen these two people before, and he didn't know what to call them for a moment. Anyway, it was definitely right to call them "ancestors", but he heard the voice of one of them.

He is relatively young, and even has a bit of gnashing of teeth towards Emperor Jiajing!

Is there something going on between these two?

This thought flashed through Zhu Jie's mind instantly, and he immediately glanced at Emperor Jiajing beside him, only to see a look of surprise on his face, and a hint of reluctance.

But Emperor Jiajing still managed to smile, went up to him and saluted, "Jiajing, my descendant, has met my uncle Hongzhi, my cousin Zhengde."

Zhu Jie's face suddenly paled. It turned out to be these two! One was the only monogamous emperor in history, and the other was the most playful emperor in history.

emperor!

Emperor Hongzhi was okay, he was honest and kind, but Emperor Zhengde was different!

etc!

Emperor Zhengde seems to have no children... Then his successor is... Emperor Jiajing. It seems that as soon as Emperor Jiajing came to power, he started a "Great Etiquette Controversy" that will be passed down in history!

To put it simply, Emperor Jiajing was the nephew of Emperor Hongzhi and the cousin of Emperor Zhengde. Historically, after the death of Emperor Zhengde, because he had no children, the Queen Mother discussed with the ministers to select one from the royal family to adopt him.

In his name, he came to inherit the throne.

Unexpectedly, they met Jiajing, the smartest emperor among all the emperors!

Jiajing was only 15 years old at the time, and the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty cabinet was Yang Tinghe. He drafted Emperor Zhengde's edict at that time: let him come to Beijing to inherit the throne. And Yang Tinghe, the Queen Mother, wanted Jiajing to inherit the throne in the name of Emperor Zhengde.

throne.

As a result, Jiajing was unwilling to deny his biological parents and become the "son" of Emperor Zhengde, so he stopped on the outskirts of the capital and started to quarrel with Yang Tinghe who came over to persuade him to be the son of Emperor Zhengde.

In the end, Zhengde's mother, the Queen Mother, took a step back and put the country and the country first. The country could not be without a master for a day. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty had been without a master for thirty-four consecutive days since the death of Emperor Zhengde.

From this, Jiajing entered the palace and proclaimed himself emperor at noon that day. This started a three-year ceremonial dispute.

On one side was Emperor Jiajing, who was only 15 years old and was born as a foreign vassal king. He was almost alone in the capital. On the other side were civil servants such as Yang Tinghe who had great power in the world.

The group engaged in a fierce confrontation.

In fact, the core of the debate at the Dali Conference was the issue of whether Emperor Jiajing could change his parents.

For Jiajing, he was trying his best to maintain his inherent relationship with his parents. While Yang Tinghe and other civil servants were trying to safeguard the fundamental interests of Emperor Hongzhi's lineage, they also tried their best to deprive Jiajing of his inherent father-son relationship with his biological father.

In the end, the battle ended with a great victory for the young Emperor Jiajing, who posthumously named his father Emperor Ruizong and his mother the Empress Dowager.

In other words, the lineage of Emperor Hongzhi was severed after the death of Zhengde. This was just one aspect of the conflict between them. Perhaps it was this great etiquette dispute that made the young Emperor Jiajing full of hatred for Emperor Zhengde.

.

Therefore, not long after Emperor Jiajing took office, he ordered the demolition of the "Leopard House" and other buildings built during the reign of Emperor Zhengde, and at the same time tampered with and covered up the history of Emperor Zhengde.

One of the most obvious loopholes is that the young prince, the leader of the Mongolian Tatar tribe, led an army of 50,000 to invade the border. Emperor Zhengde ignored the obstruction of his ministers, climbed over the wall and sneaked out of the palace, using the title he had given himself before as the "Mighty General"——

In the name of "Zhu Shou", he went to the border to mobilize troops to fight.

At that time, the Ming army was already at war with the Mongolian army and could be said to be at a disadvantage.

Emperor Zhengde rushed to the front line of the border and personally directed the deployment, and the Battle of Yingzhou officially began.

In this battle, Emperor Zhengde showed extraordinary military talent. First, he sent a small number of troops to lure the snake out of its hole and contain the enemy's main force.

Then they continued to increase their troops to consume the enemy's energy. The whole battle lasted for several days, and finally ended with the little prince's defeat.

This war brought peace and stability to the northern border of the Ming Dynasty for decades!

But the record of this battle in the history books is a bit ironic: the Ming Dynasty dispatched nearly 100,000 troops and the Mongolian army 50,000, fighting bloody battles for several days... but the number of casualties in the Yingzhou victory was left behind

One stroke: The astonishing statement that 16 people were killed in the Mongolian army and 52 people were killed in the Ming army.

The battle involving hundreds of thousands of people lasted for several days, but the Mongolian army only suffered 16 casualties, while the Ming Dynasty suffered 52 casualties...

As long as you think about it carefully, you will know that there is something fishy in this. If there were only 16 casualties in the Mongolian army, how could they be allowed to stop invading the border for decades?

It is obvious that the historical records of this war have been tampered with, and the intention is naturally to discredit Emperor Zhengde. Others may not know it, but Emperor Jiajing knew it very clearly...

For a moment, these things flashed through Zhu Jie's mind. Zhu Jie himself felt embarrassed for Jiajing at this moment... Hey, no, could it be... Emperor Jiajing has been living in the Zhu family's family heirloom jade seal to hide from this?

Bit?

The more Zhu Jie thought about it, the more he felt like it. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was true. He glanced at Emperor Jiajing out of the corner of his eye and saw that his waist was at a ninety-degree angle. His appearance was so standard!

"My good cousin, you make me miss you day and night! I have finally seen your face after hundreds of years, hehe! I heard that you have been practicing Taoism, and I want to test it out.

The results of my cultivation over the years, let’s see if I have slacked off in cultivation!”

There was an obvious gnashing of teeth from a man who was slowly clenching his hands into fists, making a crackling sound like fried beans, and said to Jiajing.

For a while, Emperor Jiajing seemed not to

Now I know what to do...Who the hell can know that there is really a soul after death, and can still see the soul of the dead...

He still remembered that after his death, the soul of the dead was led by his ancestors for the first time to the habitat of their old Zhu family - a place also called the Zhu family's royal court. At that time, he met Zhengde for the first time. That guy, in an instant,

His eyes turned red, and he rushed forward to beat himself. If the ancestor hadn't slapped both Zhengde and Jiajing to the ground, then took off his shoes, and gave them both a good beating without thinking about anything...

Then, he was assigned by his ancestors to the Zhu family's heirloom jade seal to avoid trouble with Emperor Zhengde, and at the same time, it was also convenient for Emperor Jiajing to devote himself to cultivating Taoism.

At this moment, Emperor Jiajing's heart was filled with 10,000 grass and mud horses running wildly. At the same time, he was very puzzled. What did the ancestor mean by this? He knew clearly that the two of them had conflicts, and they were like the tip of a needle, so why did he let Zhengde come?

here?

"Zhengde, have you forgotten? We are all souls after death. According to the rules of our ancestors, no one is allowed to care about what happened during life. After death, you two are cousins, and you are sixteen years older than Jiajing.

You are the elder brother, and you have to support your younger brother. How can I, my ancestor, Emperor Chengzu, and others be at ease when you two are like this? Do you know?"

Hongzhi naturally took everything in his eyes. Although Zhengde was his biological son, Jiajing was also his nephew after all. According to Chinese tradition, when two children fight, they must first talk about their own children's habits and deal with emotions and reasons.

, he can only restrain righteousness.

Zhengde was an only child since he was a child. He was loved by his father and mother. He didn't understand it when he was young, but he gradually grew up and became an undead. After meeting his father again, he seemed to have found his father's child again. At the same time,

He also cherished the relationship between father and son even more. It can be said that in the world, apart from the words of the two ancestors, he would only listen to what Emperor Hongzhi said.

The young voice sounded again, but the tone at this moment had softened, even a bit well-behaved, and said: "Yes, I will obey my father's words. Everything is in the past, and it will never happen again."

Mentioned it, right, my dear cousin!"

Emperor Jiajing quickly flashed a sentence in his mind: Believe me!

But this can't be said, besides, our ancestors have established a rule: Our old Zhu family governs the world with filial piety, and we will use it after death. If anyone dares to disrespect his elders and commit the following offense, then don't blame us for being ruthless!

Therefore, no matter how resentful and disgusted Emperor Jiajing was toward Emperor Zhengde, he could not express it, otherwise his ancestors would be the first to peel off his skin!

In fact, if you think about it, this rule of our ancestors is not unreasonable. If this rule was not established, wouldn't it be that there would be different opinions and complete chaos? Moreover, if several people work together outside, there must be one

Naturally, the older you are, the more important it is for you to take the lead.

Emperor Jiajing saluted Emperor Hongzhi again, and then said, "I wonder why my uncle and cousin came here this time?"

Emperor Zhengde raised his eyebrows, obviously unhappy, and moved his lips, as if he wanted to retaliate, but when he remembered his father's words, he immediately endured it.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled slightly and said: "It's no big deal. Emperor Chengzu asked Zhengde to stay with Zhu Jie, a descendant of our Zhu family. On the one hand, he wanted him to exercise and gain knowledge. On the other hand, he also considered that Zhu Jie did not have a guardian spirit.
