The ancestor of a dynasty, the word "ancestor" implies the creation of achievements, and often only the temple name of the founder of a country is given this title.
In the face of the etiquette system, even Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, who was recognized as an emperor throughout the ages, did not take the ancestral title after his death.
of course there are exceptions.
For example, during the Han Dynasty, the great mage Liu Xiu, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, founded the Eastern Han Dynasty after killing the time traveler Wang Mang. This kind of hero who revived the faulted dynasty would also be criticized for his great achievements.
With the word "ancestor" on it.
But in a unified dynasty with no gaps and continuous legal tradition, things like the second ancestor will never happen.
The exception is Qing, a group of people with pigtails.
"Brother, after the fourth child, who will be the next emperor?"
Lao Zhu frowned slightly, he was obviously unhappy.
Only one can be the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty. This is a very serious matter for Zhu Yuanzhang, who attaches great importance to seniority.
"Is he the fat man just now?"
"The big fat guy is Gao Chi, right? This guy is so fat. What does he eat every day?"
In Lao Zhu's Hongwu time and space, Zhu Gaochi had already been born, but he was still a chubby baby who had just turned two years old, with no indication of his future growth.
Old Zhu Di did not speak, because deep down in his heart he had not yet decided who to pass the throne to. Although his eldest son Zhu Gaochi had been the prince for more than ten years, in his heart he actually preferred his second son Zhu Gaoxu, who was more like him, but he also wanted to
Let the eldest grandson Zhu Zhanji ascend the throne.
He has been struggling with this matter for several years.
But no matter who becomes the next emperor, he will give his temple name "ancestor". Isn't this cheating?!
Old Zhu Di has been doing one thing all his life, which is to prove that his legal tradition is inherited from Taizu Emperor Gao. It's good now that future generations have given him the title of Second Ancestor. This does not mean that he has been blackmailed in disguise.
.
Ancestor has the intention of pioneering. Taking the title of "Ancestor" is tantamount to acknowledging that Zhu Di's throne originated from Jingnan's entrepreneurship, rather than inheritance.
Heizi! Definitely a big Heizi!
Old Zhu Di was roaring in his heart.
"The fourth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Gaochi, Renzong in October."
"However, the temple name Chengzu was not given by Renzong. The temple name given by Renzong to Emperor Yongle was Taizong."
‘Taizong.’
Hearing this temple name, Old Zhu Di felt a little better.
Throughout the dynasties, Taizong was the second emperor after Taizu, and he simply ignored Jianwen. Only then could he prove that his accession to the throne was justified.
'Gao Chi my son, not bad.'
Then I thought about it, that’s not right. Since it’s already a temple name, how can I change it?
What kind of dog is so bold? Dare to dance on the grave of Zhu Laosi?!
"Brother, what on earth is going on?"
Lao Zhu frowned even more. What he hated most was his descendants violating the ancestral rules set by him and messing around.
"Drink some."
After saying this, Ji Boying put his finger on the table, and two bottles of "Fire Bull" appeared in front of his and Lao Zhu's desk. As for Lao Zhu Di, he gave him a bottle of health-preserving chrysanthemum tea.
"You can be energetic."
Ji Boying glanced at Lao Zhu, his face showing tiredness.
The time difference in each time and space is different. Hongwu and Jianwen were both at night, and the difference was less than an hour. However, Yongle time and space was in the afternoon, with a difference of nearly three hours.
Lao Zhu has become accustomed to the things given by Ji Boying. In his opinion, these are the drinks of immortals in the sky, and of course they cannot be missed.
Pull open the can ring and take a sip.
It was the first time for Old Zhu Di to see it, including Ji Boying's method of changing things out of thin air, which really shocked him. His eyes narrowed slightly, he was silent for a moment, then he unscrewed the bottle cap and started to taste it.
"In the seventeenth year of Jiajing's reign, Emperor Jiajing changed the temple name of Taizong to Chengzu."
As for why the Jiajing Immortal did this, the reason is simple.
Jiajing ascended the throne as a vassal prince, and among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty before him, only Zhu Di ascended the throne as a vassal prince. Therefore, by raising Zhu Di's status, it was tantamount to raising his own worth in disguise.
Of course, it also has something to do with making room for his father in the Ancestral Temple.
The words just fell.
"Snapped!"
Old Zhu Di suddenly slapped the case.
"Unfilial heir! My throne..."
Before he finished speaking, Lao Zhu Di felt the knife-like gaze and quickly changed his words.
"How can my father's throne be passed on to such unfilial descendants?!"
Only then did Lao Zhu look away and took a sip of fire ox.
"We will talk about Jiajing later. If you have time in the future, I will take you to meet him. This god is quite interesting."
Ji Boying smiled slightly, took out a cigarette out of habit, and put it back again.
It's really hard to communicate with the elderly, and I can't even smoke.
"Fourth, we just heard that you are going to go on the Northern Expedition for the third time?"
Lao Zhu looked at his fourth son, who was more than ten years older than himself.
"That's right."
"Arutai plunders my border and disturbs my people. I will send troops to destroy them!"
When the Northern Expedition was mentioned, Old Zhu Di's eyes filled with murderous intent.
Then, Old Zhu Di was silent for a moment and took a deep breath.
"Father, I actually know that the Northern Expedition is not a good opportunity now, and I also know that what the six tribes said is reasonable."
"But."
Old Zhu Di clenched his fists.
In Lao Zhu Di's view, Lao Zhu and this immortal are both heavenly beings, and he has nothing to hide from them.
"I moved the capital to Peiping and placed the imperial capital at the gate of the country. Although it can deter foreigners, there are still risks. If the descendants of the future are all mediocre people, they will definitely not be able to defend the gate of the emperor's country under a strong enemy."
"Therefore, instead of using these twenty years to recuperate, it is better to give it a try while your son is still in power."
"My son is willing to completely wipe out the remnants of the Mongolian Yuan in his lifetime, annihilate all the Tatars and Oaras, control the grasslands in one fell swoop, bring Mobei into the territory of our Ming Dynasty, forever eliminate the troubles in the north, and create a century of prosperity for our descendants of the Ming Dynasty.
, a legacy for the ages.”
In essence, Zhu Di and Lao Zhu, the two father and sons not only have the same acting style, but also have similar thoughts.
That is to do our best to completely solve all problems in our own generation and plant a towering tree for future generations that can withstand the storm.
Lao Zhu was agitated by what Lao Zhu Di said about his ambition, because Lao Zhu had actually thought so before, and he subconsciously looked at Ji Boying.
It's a pity that the ideal is very full and the reality is very skinny.
"Yongle's third Northern Expedition did not even find anyone in Arutai."
