Chapter 29 Why call me Ming Chengzu?

There is a kind of touching in the world, which is called self-moving, such as Lao Zhu Di at this moment.

However, as Lao Zhu's words thundered in Lao Zhu Di's ears, this feeling was shattered.

Old Zhu Di calmed down and realized that he was not going to die, and that the person in front of him did exist.

Zhu Di wiped his eyes subconsciously to make sure he was not dazzled.

That familiar face is absolutely unmistakable.

"Dad, dad?"

Old Zhu Di stood up subconsciously.

Even though he was already over sixty years old, even though he had been the emperor for almost twenty years, when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang's face, the fear buried deep in his heart suddenly surged up.

This old emperor, Emperor Yongle, one of the two great emperors of the Ming Dynasty, was at a loss at this moment.

Now he even wants to fly to Tianxiaoling Mausoleum and dig out his father's coffin board to see what's going on?!

Neither Xiao Zhusi from the Hongwu time and space nor Zhu Laosi from the Jianwen time and space are eligible for the title Yongle Emperor, but the one who lived in the 19th year of Yongle in the Yongle time and space is the real deal.

"Brother, how old is the fourth child this time?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the old Zhu Si, who was over sixty years old, especially when he saw the gray hair on his temples, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"The 19th year of Yongle's reign should be sixty-one."

Ji Boying was holding a cigarette between his teeth. He took out the matchbox and was about to light it. After thinking about it, he still didn't strike the match.

Zhu Di in the Yongle time and space is older. He has never been exposed to nicotine in his life. He only has a few years left to live. If he smokes a few more second-hand smoke, he may die faster.

Respecting the elderly and loving the young is a virtue.

For the sake of Lao Zhu Di's health, Ji Boying decided not to smoke in Yongle time and space.

"Sixty-one."

At this age, he is more than ten years older than the current Lao Zhu.

And from the perspective of later generations, Zhu Di's body was obviously not as good as Zhu Yuanzhang's.

Lao Zhu coughed and walked up swaggeringly. Lao Zhu Di was very obedient and gave up the emperor's seat. When the little eunuch on duty came into the palace to straighten the overturned table, he saw that he was sitting there.

Lao Zhu, who was on the throne, almost pissed himself with fear.

Naturally, this little eunuch had no chance to appreciate the power of Emperor Hongwu. He was just shocked that someone dared to sit in His Majesty's seat, and His Majesty just stood aside obediently.

But the people who work in the palace are all sensible.

The little eunuch knew this, so he closed his eyes and pretended not to see anything. He didn't dare to go out and talk nonsense, otherwise his throat would be slit by Dongchang in a matter of minutes.

By the way, there is already a Dongchang factory here.

In the 18th year of Yongle's reign, Zhu Di established Dongchang, whose full name was Dongjishichang, and its authority was superior to that of Jinyiwei.

The reason for setting up the East Factory is also very simple. Zhu Di felt that it was a bit troublesome to use the Jinyi Guards outside the palace. In addition, the eunuchs fully supported Zhu Di during the Jing Dynasty. Therefore, Zhu Di had always had a good impression of the eunuchs after he ascended the throne. Naturally, he felt that the eunuchs were more powerful.

Reliable.

Moreover, since the eunuch is in the palace, he can be summoned in the middle of the night, making it easier to use.

As for the ancestral precept set by his father that "eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics", Emperor Yongle had long thrown it out of the window.

From the ancestral teachings, only use those that are useful to you.

"Everyone, get out."

Old Zhu Di glanced at the young eunuch.

The little eunuch's heart suddenly pounded, and he hurriedly backed away, almost falling when he walked out of the palace door.

"Brother, please sit down."

Lao Zhu personally stood up and moved the chair for Ji Boying, but Ji Boying was not polite and sat down. This position was exactly where Zhu Gaochi had been sitting before.

'Brother?'

"If my father can move his chair for him, is he an immortal?"

'Yes, he must be an immortal, otherwise how could his deceased father appear here?!'

Lao Zhu Di thought to himself, then walked to the hall and knelt down towards Lao Zhu respectfully.

"The unfilial son Zhu Di pays homage to his father."

In fact, the moment he saw Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu Di felt very guilty.

After all, his own father passed the throne to Zhu Yunwen. No matter how much he concealed this matter, it was still a usurpation of the throne.

"Get up and sit down."

Zhu Laosi, who has already met Zhu Laosi in Jianwen time and space, has long been immune to Zhu Di's troubles in his heart, and the facts in any time and space have proved one thing, that is, Zhu Di did a much better job as emperor than Zhu Yunwen.

Much more.

When it came to choosing a successor, Lao Zhu admitted that he really had an eye on him, so when he returned to Hongwu time and space, Lao Zhu immediately kicked Zhu Yunwen out of the succession sequence.

"Thank you...Father."

Lao Zhu's attitude made Lao Zhu Di startled, and then he kowtowed very sincerely.

The chair under his butt was placed incorrectly, which had been a knot in Lao Zhu Di's heart for more than twenty years, but at this moment, he was relieved.

Because he did not hear any blame in his father's words.

Not to blame is to acquiesce.

"Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, conquered Mobei five times in his life and plowed the royal court three times. He made the Mobei grassland surrender and proclaimed himself as a vassal. He promoted the national prestige of China and laid a twenty-year period of cultivation for the Ming Dynasty."

"Two, conquer Annan in the south, destroy the Annan Kingdom, establish the Chief Envoy of Jiaozhi, destroy the Tian chieftain, establish the Chief Envoy of Guizhou, set up the Hami Guard in the northwest, set up the Nuergandu Division in the northeast, and confer the title of Seven Guards of Guanxi.

From now on, starting from Korea in the east, Tubo in the west, Annan in the south, and Daqi in the north, it is 11,750 miles from east to west and 10,940 miles from north to south, making the territory controlled by the Ming Dynasty reach tens of millions of square kilometers.

, reaching the peak of the Ming Dynasty."

"Third, Zheng He made six voyages to the Western Seas, and the prestige of the Ming Dynasty spread far and wide to Southeast Asia and overseas. It truly enabled all nations to come to the DPRK and a prosperous age of Yongle."

"Fourth, compile the "Yongle Dadian", which is the largest encyclopedia in the history of the world. It is a treasure of China and its name will be passed down through the ages."

"Fifth, improve the civil service system and establish the political pattern for the next five hundred years."

Ji Boying spoke calmly, which was attributed to Emperor Yongle's achievements.

These words were refreshing to Lao Zhu, after all, Ji Boying had never said them before.

If I don’t talk about it, it’s because Zhu Di has not done this yet in either the Hongwu time and space or the Jianwen time and space.

‘11,750 miles from east to west? 10,940 miles from north to south?!’

Lao Zhu was shocked, this was nearly double the expansion of his current Hongwu territory.

The expansion of territory is the greatest achievement of an emperor.

At this moment, Lao Zhu had a completely new understanding of his fourth son.

However, Lao Zhu Di, who had just sat down opposite Ji Boying, was stunned.

As for the Five Expeditions to Mobei, he has actually only done it twice now. It's hard to tell for the next three times, and he doesn't know it himself.

As for other things, such as the destruction of Annan, the destruction of the Tian clan chieftains, the establishment of the Hami Guard, etc., as well as the establishment of the Yongle ceremony and the sending of Zheng He to the Western Seas, these things have all happened.

However, there was one thing that made Old Zhu Di confused.

He subconsciously looked at Ji Boying and expressed his doubts.

"I dare to ask the immortal, why do you call me Ming Chengzu?"

A dynasty is only allowed to have one ancestor. This is common sense.
