On the tenth day of the fifth leap month in the thirty-first year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang passed away. He reigned for thirty-one years and was seventy-one years old.【】
On the 16th day of the intercalary month in the 31st year of Hongwu, Zhu Yun, the grandson of the emperor, officially ascended the throne and became the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
"... I have been fearful all day and night, thinking about the reason for restraining God, and with the great command of the emperor and ancestors, I will always be tolerant and fierce, and I will launch the reform policy. The next year will be the first year of the founding. I will grant amnesty to the world. Dewei and good governance will be in the government. To support the people, we should abide by the words of the sages, so that Yongzhao will be prosperous, and hundreds of ministers will be in my heart..."
The enthronement edict was announced to the world, and then the new emperor led his military officials to send the spirit to the Xiaoling Mausoleum for formal burial, and a new dynasty began.
Officials like Xia Xun were not qualified to deliver the deceased emperor's soul, and there were naturally ceremonial guards affiliated with the Jinyi Guards. However, Xia Xun was now an official sitting in the Commanding Department of the Jinyi Guards, and stayed in the Yamen to handle affairs.
Today, there are many soldiers and armors on the royal road, which is extremely strict. From the palace to Xiaoling, there is a post every five steps and a sentry every ten steps. Xia Xun is too lazy to go out and just sits in the Jinyiwei Yamen. In fact, he has no official business to do.
So far, he has not discovered that the world has changed greatly due to the butterfly effect since he arrived in this era. Prince Yan's Mansion in Peking was almost bombed. Although it was not successful, it was a big thing, but this incident in Peiping The local officials concealed it and never spread it. Xia Xun wondered if the same thing had happened in real history and failed due to various other changes and for the same reason. Didn't it spread? Or maybe there will be too many epic events in the Ming Dynasty in the past few days, and historians simply don't bother to pay attention to such an unsuccessful terrorist incident?
And Li Jinglong trained troops in Shaanxi and defeated the bandits in the southeast. Xia Xun really doesn’t know if he has done the same thing in history. Even if he has done it, it is obvious that this incident is more important than Zhu Yuanzhang’s death and Zhu Yun’s accession to the throne. It doesn't make much sense for a historical event that can be written about in a big way. The time when Li Jinglong really shined was when he led an army of 500,000 and was defeated by the Yan army, which was only 300,000 to 50,000 at the time.
Therefore, Xia Xun came to the conclusion that the entire history is still moving forward according to the historical process he is familiar with, and everything that should happen will still happen. The little butterfly he traveled through is too small to be fanned. The whole world is changing. All he can influence is the fate of a few people around him. The fate of a few people does not need to be recorded in history. He just needs to be himself and take good care of these people around him.
Cutting off vassalage?
None of my business.
Jingnan?
None of my business.
Xia Xun firmly believes that he has traveled through time to make soy sauce, be a rich man, marry several beautiful wives and concubines, and live the rest of his life happily. Who does he need to be loyal to? Who does he need to be a slave to? For the sake of the people of the world. Common people? What a lofty goal. Well, if it is for this purpose, Emperor Yongle is obviously a good emperor. What else does he need to worry about?
As for Zhu Yun, it is obvious that he has not done very well in the past few years of his reign. Some people say that if Zhu Di did not rebel and let his nephew kill Wang Jue and his whole family and go to Yunnan to reform through labor, maybe Zhu Yun would do the same. Five expeditions to Mongolia will also lead to seven expeditions to Southeast Asia. Maybe his martial arts skills are better than Zhu Di's, maybe..., maybe..., since everything is hypothetical, then everything is possible, it may be better, it may be worse Since history has proven that Emperor Yongle was an accomplished emperor, why try his luck?
Xia Xun thought happily, and his mind began to turn to Peng Ziqi, who was only nineteen. Actually, there was no need to be too anxious, but this little girl was already anxious, busy seeking medical advice, and praying to gods and Buddhas. You are about to give birth to a son, why are you so anxious? But then again, the couple has been together for so long, and their love is not once or twice, so why are you still not pregnant? Could it be that traveling through time and space has affected your body?
Xia Xun spent the whole day in random thoughts and boredom. When it was nearly dusk in the afternoon, the emperor's ceremonial parade returned to the palace. Then he walked out of his pledge room.
Walking around to the front yard, Xia Xun suddenly saw Liu Yu standing under the side corridor, with the embroidered spring knife on the wooden stake used for practicing. He was talking to Xiao Qianyue. Xiao Qianyue pointed at Liu Yu's nose, looking extremely excited. , Liu Yu explained something in a low voice, and Xia Xun walked over.
"Liu, please be careful!"
"Captain Xiao, I...I really didn't do anything?"
"You didn't do anything? You still said that!"
Xiao Qianyue's handsome face was distorted. He raised his hand and slapped Liu Yu firmly in the face. Liu Yu was stunned. She covered her cheeks, quivered her nose a few times, and burst into tears. Flow down quietly.
"You bastard! You have only been in Jinyiwei for a few days and you dare to climb on top of me. Don't think that you can become a phoenix by climbing on a branch. I have been with you for many years. I have been through life and death. You are more of a sissy than a sissy. What worries and worries can these things take away from adults?"
The more Xiao Qianyue talked, the angrier she became. She couldn't help punching or kicking him. Liu Yu didn't dare to fight back. He dodged a few times and simply squatted on the ground with his head covered. Xiao Qianyue kicked him in the butt several times and waved his hand. He was about to slap him again, but suddenly he was held tightly by a strong hand.
Xiao Qianyue suddenly turned around and saw Xia Xun standing behind her, her hand still tightly grasped by Xia Xun. "
Xia Xun's official position is now higher than that of Xiao Qianyue. Xiao Qianyue also knows that Luo Kedi has expressed his appreciation for Xia Xun's character and ability more than once. He obviously intends to cultivate him vigorously, but he does not dare to offend him too much. Then he broke away from his fist angrily and said: "Master General Banner, this is a personal grudge between Beizhi and Liu Lishi. We are warriors, so of course we can resolve it with fists and kicks. Since your Excellency has come forward, Beizhi will not argue with him, so take your leave!"
After saying that, he turned around angrily and left. Before leaving, he stared at Liu Yu fiercely, full of resentment, obviously unwilling to let it go. Xia Xun frowned, helped Liu Yu up, and saw that he was a grown man. She was crying so hard that she couldn't help but feel angry and funny at the same time.
"Jade, why did you offend him?"
Liu Yu hurriedly shook his head and said in a thin voice: "It's nothing, Brother Yang, you don't have to worry about me."
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xia Xun stopped asking, patted the dust on his body, and said reproachfully: "Yu, it's not the elder brother who told you, why did you follow the elder brother to Yingtian in the first place, and why did you join the Jinyiwei? No. Do you just want to change your character and become like a real man? Your father is your precious son. Sooner or later, you have to support your Liu family and be a man who stands upright. How can you be afraid of trouble?
He has fists and feet, don’t you? Whether you can beat him or not is one thing, whether you dare to fight back is another matter. Next time, if Lieutenant Xiao bullies you again, I hope you can be braver. If If you continue to act like a daughter, you will only cry and cry and have no backbone, and my eldest brother will not be able to afford you!"
Liu Yu's face turned red when he said it, and she gritted her teeth and nodded vigorously: "Brother, don't worry, I am the one you brought in, and I will never embarrass you again. If he bullies me again, I... I will definitely fight back. !”
Xia Xun smiled happily and said: "That's right. In this kind of place, if you want to be respected, you have to rely on your ability. Come on, my eldest brother has learned some kung fu, specializing in taking people's joints and capturing the enemy. Your strength is better than Xiao's The captain is a little younger, so if he learns this kind of skill, he will suffer less in front of him."
Xiao Qianyue left the martial arts training ground angrily. As soon as she turned into the Yimen, she saw Luo Qianshi standing there in a military uniform with his hands behind his back and a cold expression. Xiao Qianyue was startled and hurriedly approached and saluted: "Xiao Qianyue, a humble official." , I have met the adults."
Luo Kedi said coldly: "What did you just do?"
Xiao Qianyue was startled, looked up at Luo Kedi's face, and muttered: "Sir, a humble position...a humble position..."
Luo Kedi said slowly: "For a long time, I seem to be pampering you a little too much, and I don't know how to advance or retreat!"
The voice was not loud, but it was solemn. Xiao Qianyue felt a chill in her heart. She knelt on the ground with a bang, bowed her head and said, "Sir, I'm humble. I know I'm wrong."
Luo Kedi's face was covered with frost, and Xiao Ran said: "The emperor just gave the order today. Emperor Taizu was buried in the Xiaoling Mausoleum. The Xiaoling Guard needs more manpower. You can report to the Xiaoling Guard early tomorrow morning."
Xiao Qianyue's face turned pale. The Xiaoling Guards were stationed next to the Xiaoling Mausoleum. They basked in the sun during the day and beat the graves at night. Occasionally they caught a few common people who came to kill pigs and grass, and spent their days doing nothing. They are the gravekeepers.
Xiao Qianyue knelt and climbed a few steps in panic, fell at the feet of Luo Kedi, kowtowed repeatedly and said: "Sir, I really know that I was wrong. Please forgive me once, I will never dare to do it again. Your Excellency..."
Luo Kedi shook his sleeves and walked in front of him calmly, without even glancing at him from the corners of his eyes. Xiao Qianyue shouted in a whisper: "Sir...", her eyes filled with despair.
In Hejian Mansion, on the bank of the Wazi River, Zhu Di's head was wrapped in white silk, and his body was covered with linen clothes. The more than a hundred guards accompanying him were also filial, and even the weapons they carried were wrapped in white cloth. Zhu Di's eyes were red, and when he came, He was crying, and secondly, he was driving all night. As soon as he received the obituary, Zhu Di was like a thunderbolt. Although he had known that his father had been in poor health in the past few years, and that it would be a matter of time before he went to work, he had already been prepared, but when he suddenly heard about it, The news is still painful.
Zhu Di immediately left Peiping and went to Jinling to attend the funeral. Since ancient times, filial piety has been the foundation of human beings. Now his eldest brother, second brother, and third brother have all passed away. Among the sons of his father, he is the eldest son. He wears sackcloth and carries filial piety to pay his last respects to his father. This is his duty.
Even though he was strong, he had been running day and night all the way, and he was already haggard, unkempt, and no longer like a prince. When he arrived at the Wazi River, he saw inspections set up by the bridge, and pedestrians and people were queuing up. While waiting for inspection, Zhu Di returned home like an arrow and said to the guard Qianhu Zhu Neng: "Go and ask them to withdraw for inspection. I am going to Beijing for the funeral."
Zhu Neng picked up the reins of his horse and ran straight forward. After a while, he saw Zhu Neng driving his horse back. His face was red, and he said with shame and anger: "Your Majesty, we... we... can't get through it!"
