"The Emperor is entrusted with the destiny of heaven, and the edict says: When establishing a country, rituals must be based on the eldest son, which is the foundation of the world. [] The eldest son of the emperor, Gao Chi, is kind-hearted and filial to his friends. He is my first heir. He inherits the wealth accumulated by his ancestors and is accepted by me.
The teachings are profound, and God's will belongs to you. I am here to take the throne in the East Palace! From now on, you must respect God and be cautious, and guide the army and supervise the country. This is your duty. The Sixth Division Zhaomin, it is appropriate to conquer their hearts with benevolence, trust, kindness and majesty. This is the ten thousandth anniversary of the Mianzu clan.
…”
Zhu Di sat motionless on the dragon chair, with a stern look on his face, and the attendants around him did not dare to look directly at the emperor, so no one noticed that his eyes were red. I am afraid that he made the decision decisively after a night of hard thinking and struggle.
But no matter what, how come the imperial edict was issued? Moreover, as soon as the court opened in the morning, the first thing to do was to announce the appointment of the crown prince. What was issued was not an oral edict or an edict, but an imperial edict that had already passed the cabinet. With this edict, it would no longer be possible.
No changes can be made.
The imperial edict to establish the crown prince is a state, no less than a grand ceremony for a new emperor to ascend the throne. All military officials must bow to the imperial edict, so they cannot bow down to listen to the edict. Everyone kneels to listen to the edict. Chen Ying put her hands on the ground, her arms
He was shaking wildly, his throat was dry, and it was so itchy that he wanted to cough, but he didn't dare to make a sound at this time, and the whole golden palace was completely silent.
Yesterday, Zhu Gaoxu came out of the palace and happily told him that he had persuaded his father and the matter of establishing a heir apparent would be shelved again. Who would have thought that overnight, the situation suddenly changed and the current situation would be irreversible.
situation.
What should I do, just give up?
Chen Ying shuddered when she thought of this. He was a cruel official, a dog raised by the emperor. He rose to great heights by helping the emperor bite him. Among the courtiers, he was independent and had many enemies but few friends. But because of the emperor's favor, no one could do anything to win over him.
, one day the prince ascends the throne, can this prince who has been his enemy trust him? By then, won’t he become a lost dog?
For now, the eldest prince has been established as the Eastern Palace. Although he will not be in charge of the government for the time being, and as the prince, he especially cannot retaliate against the courtiers who are at odds with him or smear himself. But now that the prince has been established, the two
The prince must be crowned the king. The two princes have grown up. Once they are crowned the king, they must join the vassal state. I have no backer in the capital. I can only rely on the emperor to help me... and I can't withstand so many open and secret attacks!
Chen Ying was lying on the ground, listening to the imperial edict while thinking rapidly.
As expected, the next step was to confer the emperor's second son Zhu Gaoxu as the king of Han and the vassal state of Yunnan, and the third emperor's son Zhu Gaosui as the king of Zhao and the vassal state of Beijing. When Chen Ying heard this, his heart went cold. The emperor loved the second prince the most, but how could he
The prince became the crown prince and was in charge of Nanjing. The third prince was named King of Zhao and the vassal state was in Beijing. However, the second prince, who had always been the most beloved by him, was sent to Yunnan. What does this mean...
After the edict of establishing the crown prince was issued, the emperor issued another decree, appointing Duke Zhu Neng as the Crown Prince's Taishi, Qi Kingdom's Duke Qiu Fu as the Crown Prince's Grand Tutor, Jian Yi, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Jin Zhong, the Right Assistant Minister of the Zhan Affairs Department of the Prince's Mansion, as the Minister of War and the Minister of Zhan.
Mo Lin, the right minister of the Ministry of War, Zhao Yi, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Shao Zhanshi... these were all subordinate officials of the East Palace. After a series of appointments, Chen Ying was confused again.
Grand Master is the head of the three princes, and he is granted the title of Grand Master Zhu Neng. This is a false position and has no practical significance. As one of the oldest military generals who joined the emperor's army, he is conferred the title of Grand Master Zhu Neng. This is because he hopes that his veteran minister will continue to serve as a great master.
Serving the prince is not only a kind of love and care for the prince, but also a kind of love for the old minister Conglong, which can ensure that he will not be affected by the emperor and the courtiers of one dynasty.
The same reason applies to the Duke of Qi, Qiu Fu, who was granted the title of Taifu. Among the three generals who followed Zhu Di, Zhang Yu died early, and Zhu Neng and Qiu Fu were the only two left. Although they were demoted to Beijing due to previous affairs,
But that was just a punishment, and the favor did not weaken because of it. Furthermore, although he had supported the second prince in the past, he named him Taifu, hoping that the old minister could reconcile with the prince.
This is for appeasement, which is a bit confusing, but not entirely true. Historically, courtiers were biased before the prince was established. After the prince was established, ministers who remained loyal to the emperor and the country were still everywhere. It cannot be because he had paid attention to it.
If you pass the second prince, beat him to death.
However, although he made the Grand Tutor, he did not say that he would transfer him back to Nanjing. In other words, the Grand Tutor would have to watch over King Zhao in Beijing, but what about the Grand Tutor Zhu Neng? He had just led his troops to Annan, and he still didn’t know what the year of the monkey would be like.
Back. Needless to mention the other East Palace officials, Chen Ying remembered clearly that when the auxiliary Duke Yang Xu was in Beijing, he had already been granted the title of Prince Shaobao.
The Third Master of the East Palace, the Grand Master, the Taifu and the Taibao; the Third Young Master of the East Palace, the Young Master, the Young Master, and the Young Protector; these are the Sixth Master of the Crown Prince according to the Zhou rites. Since ancient times, most of them have not been fully sealed, but only as a
The glorious title does not have any special power, but it has special meaning. At least, this official can be branded with the East Palace, and his dealings with the East Palace Prince are natural and legitimate, and no one can make irresponsible remarks.
, talking about the prince harboring secret ambitions and making friends with ministers, is he originally the prince's master?
Fortunately, Zhu Neng is in Annan and Qiu Fu is in Beijing. The only one left by the prince is Yang Shaobao. I guess he is not even mentioned this time. The emperor is deliberately suppressing his promotion. He must leave something for the prince.
Is there any room for a reward next? Of the three teachers of the prince, two of them are old. Only Yang Xu is in his prime. Having him by the side of the eldest prince is very bad.
Probably the emperor was also worried about directly calling his three sons to the Golden Palace to receive the title. The second son would do something rude in a moment of anger and lose the royal dignity, so he did not call the three sons to the Golden Palace to receive the title.
, but each issued a decree to send the three princes to their residences respectively. Of course, the prince must receive the gold book and gold seal and accept the emperor's instruction. This is a ritual. The Ministry of Rites will handle it later, and then the formal canonization ceremony will be held.
.
In any case, once this imperial edict is issued, the position of the monarch and his ministers is determined. Just like if you go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate, you are still considered a married person even though you have not served wedding wine, collected red envelopes, or hosted a banquet for guests.
.
Naturally, Zhu Di couldn't say that he asked Dao Yan, Xie Jin and Yang Xu to edit the "Huabaojian" a few days ago to instruct them to make suggestions and establish a reserve. Furthermore, there was indeed a need to compile this book, so the two decrees were announced and Zhu Gen
He then told Yang Xu and Xie Jin that the ancient sages must collect books to cultivate themselves and govern others. The words of Taizu Emperor Gao's instructions to his descendants must not be omitted. The completion of this book will be the standard for princes in the Ming Dynasty in the future.
Textbook.
Xia Xun and Xie Jin bowed to receive the order, while Chen Ying stood in the classroom with her heart flying out of the hall...
※※※※※※
The morning ended very early.
Two imperial edicts and one instruction. After the announcement, the emperor retired from the court. Today, he went to court this morning and ignored all other government affairs!
This seemed a bit unusual for Zhu Di, who had always been diligent in his work. Although what was announced today was a national event, there was no need not to discuss government affairs. Chen Ying's dog nose immediately smelled something:
What is the emperor worried about, or in other words, what is the emperor afraid of? What the emperor is worried about is not necessarily specific people or specific things, but his own heart. It is obvious that once this iron-fisted emperor makes a decision, he will
As always, he used thunderous methods, but he already had inner demons, and this inner demon was his guilt for his second son who was "sent to Yunnan".
Chen Ying, who was already desperate, seemed to have found a ray of sunshine in the heavy fog. As soon as she left the Golden Palace, she immediately picked up her robes and ran away like yesterday. Running around the palace was originally a breach of etiquette, but the etiquette officer was from the capital.
The imperial envoy of the Procuratorate acted as his subordinate, so he naturally pretended to be deaf and dumb.
In the eldest prince's house, Zhu Gaochi's family of three were kneeling on the ground, listening to the imperial edict: "...The prince must be considerate of the superiors and subordinates, and do good deeds without interruption. Don't be too roundabout in your studies, don't be too observant in your understanding, don't be too harsh in your severity, don't be too indulgent in your generosity, and be humble and humble.
Ambition, tolerance of loyalty; diligence, frugality and tranquility, benefiting the common people, inheriting the ancestral temple, and protecting the country..."
Zhu Gaochi was lying on the ground listening to the order, with a calm and calm expression. This was the exercise of his mind. If it were the second prince Zhu Gaoxu, and he suddenly heard that the emperor's throne was his, even if he didn't dance, he would definitely not be able to be so calm and calm.
Zhu Gaochi was actually quite emotional in his heart. According to the clan law, he should have been made the prince, but... among the three sons since childhood, he was the one who studied the hardest and was the most cautious in doing things. Due to physical reasons, he could not practice riding and shooting.
, there is nothing he can do about it. He is filial to his parents and loving his brothers from the bottom of his heart, but his father just doesn't like him.
No matter how naughty and troublesome the second and third brothers are, even if they are scolded by their father, his father still likes them as before. But his eldest son has never done anything out of the ordinary since he was a child.
His father was angry, but he always scolded him for trivial matters. When his face turned negative, how could he not feel sad?
However, as a son of a man, his biological father could only bear it silently no matter what happened. Today, everything that should have belonged to him was finally given to him. Zhu Gaochi knelt on the ground and listened to the imperial edict, his eyes moistened unconsciously: "Do it."
As a brother, I will treat my brothers well. When I become emperor, I will work diligently and love the people. Father, I will prove to you that I am your best son!"
Mrs. Zhang knelt on the ground and couldn't help but burst into tears when she heard that "the canonization ceremony was completed and we moved into the East Palace." She knew that her husband was loyal and honest, was not favored by his father, and was often ostracized by his brothers. In order to
Her husband, who has already done a good job, can only work hard to do better. She does not know how much she has paid silently. Among the three daughters-in-law, she is the most filial one. She worked hard to protect her husband. Today, she finally
Watch until the clouds open and the moon shines!
"Your Highness, Master Chen is here!"
Zhu Gaoxu, wearing arrow sleeves, wiping his head and wiping his forehead, holding a long spear, is practicing martial arts majestically on the martial arts field. The spear is the king of all arts, and a general who can skillfully use a large spear must have been immersed in martial arts for many years.
Zhu Gaoxu's martial arts skills are extremely talented. Zhu Gaoxu's movements such as swinging the gun, raising the gun, retracting the gun, making pipa moves, covering the clouds with snow, facing the sky, uncovering and hanging the gun, and collapsing the gun, are all extremely skillful.
When the subordinate reported the report, he was swinging his head with a pear blossom move, holding a big gun in his hand like wind and snow, stabbing his eyes upwards, and bumping the spear downwards. The spear quivered like a shadow. When he heard the report, Zhu Gaoxu fiercely
He made a very beautiful retracting gesture, turned around to see Chen Ying, and couldn't help but smile: "You are here, why is the court so early today?"
Chen Ying was like a "hungry dog snatching food", so she rushed forward and grabbed Zhu Gaoxu's wrist, saying urgently: "Your Highness must remember that no matter what, you will not leave the capital!"
It’s so cruel. After a single chapter, I was overtaken again, and it was quite cruel. This shows two problems: first, a single chapter is very important; second, there are still some book friends who have tickets in their hands, but the single chapter is missing.
If he doesn't let go, he will wait for a single chapter, and the single chapter must be written to a high standard.
Sadly, they are all about single chapters, but my weakness is single chapters! Brother, do you think this is a book or a single chapter? I am so worried that I pull my hair, one strand after another...
