Xia Xun made a detailed investigation of the emperor's various courtesies and exchanges with the East Palace.【】
Since Zhu Gaochi became the prince, although Zhu Di disliked his eldest son the least among his sons, since he was established as the crown prince, he still tried his best to train him. When he was not in the capital, the prince would supervise the country. When he was in the capital,
Many memorials were also forwarded to the prince for review, thereby cultivating his ability to govern the country.
Although Mu En became the owner of Dongchang Factory, he had managed the inner study for so many years. How could he not have a few confidants in the inner study? Not to mention that the emperor also had his adopted son Musi by his side. He quickly investigated this information.
According to the records and statistics in the inner study room, although the number of memorials transferred by the emperor to the East Palace has been slightly increased or decreased, the number has been roughly stable and has not changed much.
In addition, when the prince was in the East Palace, he paid greetings to his father every day. When the father and son met, in addition to chatting about home affairs, the emperor asked the prince about his studies, and the prince asked the emperor about the policies of governing the country. At this point, it was also
There are no obvious changes. Even the number and time of the father and son meeting and chatting every day have not changed.
Xia Xun investigated very carefully, even the details of the emperor's expression, tone, and first words when he met the prince, as well as the offer of a seat and tea. Only these seemingly useless information were finally submitted to
The one in front of him was actually a foot thick.
Xia Xun repeatedly compared and speculated on all the materials. When he finally ordered the materials to be destroyed, he finally determined that the emperor did not want Yi Chu. He preferred Zhu Gaoxu to take charge, probably because Zhu Gaoxu was in the crusade.
During that time, the father and son got along day and night, fought side by side, and their relationship warmed up, so they began to love and pamper their son again.
For the emperor, wanting to satisfy his son's request to lead the expedition was just a kind of care and pampering for his son, but it was hard to say how the ministers would interpret it when it was shown in the court. The name Tiancewei was really too sensitive.
, Li Shimin, who killed his brother and usurped the throne, was General Tiance. This was the highest position higher than the prince and the prince, second only to the emperor and the prince.
Of course, the Ming Dynasty did not have the title of General Tiance, but Tiancewei happened to have the same name as Tiance Mansion. The emperor gave Tiancewei to the King of Han. Whether it was a signal for Yi Chu, the military officials had long been secretly speculating.
If Zhu Gaoxu were allowed to seize the military power and come back from Annan with great achievements, then Zhu Gaoxu would definitely become the brightest political star in the court again. There would definitely be people who thought that the emperor was going to change his position and defected to the King of Han to work for him.
Waving the flag and shouting.
Later, the emperor who had no intention of deposing the prince and establishing a new heir might not have such thoughts. So while Xia Xun breathed a sigh of relief, he did not slack off. He analyzed Zhu Di's thoughts with a father's mentality.
, and then began to launch a counterattack.
In order to convince the prince to make progress before retreating, Xia Xun spent a lot of time in private. Because the prince and Xie Jin were worried that the emperor had the intention of easy transfer. If this was the case, he would use his hidden power to carry out "praising and killing".
It's a self-defeating situation. If the emperor goes along with the situation, it will be irreversible.
Of course, Xia Xun could not guarantee that his analysis was absolutely correct, but this deadlock could not last forever, and he had to respond to Annan as soon as possible. Now the King of Han clearly had the upper hand, and he was likely to be defeated across the board without danger. Combined with the detailed information he had
Xia Xun believed that his judgment was quite possible based on the information. After careful consideration, Zhu Gaochi finally agreed to Xia Xun's plan.
※※※※※※※
There were more and more voices in the court in favor of the King of Han leading the army to the expedition, and then someone suggested that the vassal king should have three guards. Although the King of Han had not established the vassal, since the emperor had given the Tiance Guard to the King of Han, the other two guards should also be included.
To supply the King of Han, the emperor pondered over and over again about this suggestion, and then asked Zhu Gaoxu for his opinion. Of course, Zhu Gaoxu did not want it, and Zhu Di agreed.
The purpose of promotion has been achieved. On the surface, these hidden forces of the establishment sect, but in fact they are the prince sect, have retired and are no longer on the front line. Those smart-ass wallflowers happily took this last stick and began to wait impatiently.
He joined the camp that supported the King of Han, cheered for him, and advocated deception.
Xia Xun's plan to kill him was going on in full swing, but it had not attracted enough attention from Zhu Di. Xia Xun saw that the situation had been established, and was planning to make a clever plan to promote Zhu Gaoxu as the second king of Yan in public opinion, thus arousing Zhu Di's wariness.
I didn't expect another dose of better medicine to be delivered to my door. Tatar Pingzhangtuo suddenly arrived in Beijing. Xia Xun is a person who is good at seizing all opportunities. How could he let this good opportunity pass?
If he started with Tuo Huji, the method would obviously be more subtle. Xia Xun immediately changed his tactics to see if he could take advantage of Tuo Huji.
Tuohujie brought the memorial of Arutai, a tribute of 300 horses, and officially handed over to the Ming Dynasty the official seal awarded to Arutai by the Yuan Dynasty's Ministry of Education to express his sincerity in completely clearing the line with the old dynasty and submitting to the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Di was very happy and gave him colorful coins and clothes, and issued an edict: "I have been appointed by heaven to be the king of the world and the king of all kings. I only hope that people from all directions can find their place, and whoever comes will be generously cared for."
Er Alutai, the surviving minister of the Yuan Dynasty, is able to follow the way of heaven, come and return with flags, and accept the seal. I am willing to work with my subordinates, be affectionate and generous, and praise you with tin. I am specially appointed as the special Jin Guanglu doctor and grand master, and I am the general.
The army and the people of this place will guard our land for the rest of our lives."
After Tuohuji kowtowed and thanked him, he also presented a roster of 2,962 Tatar leaders, big and small. All of these people had given up their official positions awarded by the Yuan Dynasty and asked the Ming Emperor to re-appoint them. Zhu Di asked
According to the size of their original official positions, the officials were awarded the positions of governor, commander, commander, thousand households, hundred households, town governor and so on.
Afterwards, the envoys stayed in the Huitong Hall and hosted a banquet in Honglu Temple.
Tuohujie came to Jinling this time, but he had a secret mission, and of course he would not return. Therefore, after he checked into Honglu Temple, he immediately asked the Ming Dynasty ceremonial officer that he wanted to meet the emperor again. Of course, this time he could not make it public in the Golden Palace.
They received him because he had something important to report secretly. The Ming dynasty officials reported the matter to Lu Zhen, the minister, and Lu Zhen personally summoned them to ask for details.
There are two main things that Tuohujie said were secretly discussed. The first one is to put eye drops on Wala. It is said that when Benya lost his way to Wala, he took the national seal of the Yuan Dynasty with him, and Benya died.
, the jade seal must fall into the hands of Oara, and he instigated the Ming Dynasty to demand the jade seal from Oara, and vowed that if Oara did not hand over the jade seal and the Ming Dynasty decided to send troops, the Tatars would definitely send troops to follow the emperor and attack Oara.
The second one is: if possible, take the elder brother and younger sister of Arutai back to Tatar. When the Yuan Dynasty withdrew to the north of the Great Wall, they were in a hurry and were chased by Xu Da. They had a great time escaping. Many people
The princes and nobles were all left behind and captured, including Arutai's brother and sister, who had lived in the original area for more than forty years and are now in their fifties and sixties.
After Zhu Di heard Tuo Huji's report, he just laughed and said disapprovingly: "I don't value this treasure" and sent him back. As for his request to return Arutai's brother and sister, he said it was okay.
Consider, study.
In fact, when Zhu Di heard that the jade seal fell into the hands of Oara, he was not unmoved, but he knew the Tatar's intention of doing this better. At the moment, it was impossible for him to make a big move against Oara, so he naturally had to show that he didn't care much.
Tuo Huji comes from the grassland, and he obviously doesn’t fully understand the reservations and restraints of Chinese politicians. He doesn’t understand what the so-called “disapproval” means, and he doesn’t quite understand that this can be “considered.”
, whether to agree or not to "research", so he was very anxious. Tuo Hucai sat in the hall all day guessing riddles, and his head was spinning. At this time, an expert came to his door.
This expert is Zhang Xitong.
Zhang Xitong was originally the chief minister of Honglu Temple. When he was working at Honglu Temple, this man was his grandma and his uncle who did not love him. Now he has been promoted to the position of Minister of Rites, and his relationship with his old colleagues from Honglu Temple has suddenly warmed up.
They often walked around each other. On this day, Zhang Xitong walked around Honglu Temple again, and also went to the Huitong Pavilion to sit for a while. He "accidentally" met Tuo Hujie, and the two of them chatted politely.
The next day Tuohuji got enlightened, prepared a generous gift, and went to see the King of Han. Zhu Gaoxu, the King of Han, served as Zhu Di's vanguard and had conquered the Tatars together. In the ears of the Tatars, he was also a person who was enlightened by thunder, so
Tuohujie was convinced that Zhang Xitong had "inadvertently" revealed that the King of Han had great influence on the emperor and the Ming Dynasty, and that he was a key figure who could influence the political situation.
Zhu Di allowed military power, but his eldest son and second son seemed to have only inherited one aspect of his abilities. The eldest son was outstanding in governance, and the second son was brave in martial arts. The King of Han was a handsome man on the battlefield, and as soon as he arrived in politics
I became an idiot. When I heard that the Tatar envoy Tuohu had paid a bad visit, I proudly welcomed him into the house. I bowed down to him with a big golden sword, accepted his gift, met him cordially, and had a friendly conversation.
When Chen Ying heard about it, it was too late to rush to stop her. Chen Ying was so angry that she beat her chest and stamped her feet, and her beard stood up like a hedgehog.
Dongchang immediately sent the news to the imperial court. Ji Gang, who was carrying the secret report, couldn't keep it secret at first sight, so he quickly made up for it and sent his report to the General Affairs Department. However, his report had to go through the General Affairs Department, and then to the General Affairs Department.
After passing the inner study room, it is destined to be much later than the Dongchang.
Zhu Di's face suddenly darkened after receiving the report from Dongchang to the emperor.
When Xia Xun heard the news at the Fuguo Palace, he clapped his hands and laughed and said: "The battle for the command of the Southern Expedition has been decided."
