Chapter 441 Where does the skyrocketing luck come from?
Chu Yi looked calm, glanced at the queen, and said with a slight smile: "Your Majesty, you are overthinking. Chu shook his head just now not to say that the prince does not have the majesty of the emperor, but to tell your majesty whether the little prince can become the new king in the future.
But it depends on whether he has such ability!"
The queen frowned when she heard this. The queen naturally knew what Chu Yi meant. However, the succession of the Ming Dynasty emperor had always respected the eldest son system. Even though Cheng Zu Jing was unable to obtain the throne, Cheng Zu also insisted on the eldest son system like Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.
There are many heirs in the royal family, and the inheritance of the throne is even more dangerous. If there is no fixed system, it will probably cause chaos in the country, and I don't know how many people will have thoughts that they shouldn't have.
Therefore, the mere fact that he is inherited by the legitimate son guarantees the future status of the little prince born to the queen.
As long as nothing unexpected happens, and the prince can grow up safely and is not a particularly dim-witted person, then no one can threaten his status.
But that was in the past, but today's Ming Dynasty is different. Chu Yi can be said to be a man of his word in both the government and the public. In other words, Chu Yi has no ambitions, otherwise his position as emperor would be unstable even today.
As for the candidate for the next emperor, if Chu Yi is willing, he can even decide with one word.
The queen was clearly aware of Chu Yi's influence on the emperor and even on the Ming Dynasty, so she seemed so anxious.
If the little prince is not pleased by Chu Yi, even the queen knows that the possibility of him successfully inheriting the throne in the future is extremely slim.
She originally thought that Chu Yi didn't like the young prince, but now that she heard Chu Yi's explanation, the queen felt a little relieved.
Zhu Houzhao on the side also understood what Chu Yi meant. He looked at the innocent little prince who was sleeping and said: "What the eldest companion said is true. Naturally, my empire cannot be passed on to incompetent people. If my prince is incompetent,
If so, I would rather choose another virtuous prince to inherit the throne."
Although this little prince is Zhu Houzhao's first son and has won the emperor's heart, but now that Zhu Houzhao's body has recovered through Shao Yuanjie's conditioning, he only needs to be restrained, so it can be expected that Zhu Houzhao will have many heirs in the future.
With more children, there will naturally be more choices to choose from, which means that the position of the eldest son is not so stable.
The queen looked at Zhu Houzhao with a sad face and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty..."
Upon seeing this, Zhu Houzhao quickly comforted the queen and said: "Queen, don't worry, the emperor is my eldest son. Unless he is really incompetent, otherwise, my throne must belong to the emperor, and I will also choose the emperor for him."
As the teacher of the emperor, the virtuous minister will definitely train the emperor to become a talented person so that he can inherit the great rule!"
Hearing what Zhu Houzhao said, the queen breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the sleeping prince. The queen's eyes fell on Chu Yi.
I saw the queen trying hard to endure the discomfort, slowly sitting up and bowing to Chu Yi: "King Wu, I have something to ask of you, please ask King Wu to agree to it!"
While the Queen was giving the salute, Chu Yi turned slightly sideways and did not accept the gift. Hearing the words, he said: "Why do you say this? Your Majesty is the king, and Chu Yi is your minister. If you have anything to do with your Majesty, just give me your orders!"
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "Just say whatever the queen has to say, my eldest companion is not an outsider!"
The queen looked at Chu Yi and said slowly: "I sincerely ask King Wu to be my son's tutor and teach the emperor!"
Chu Yi raised his eyebrows and glanced at the queen. To be honest, Chu Yi really didn't expect that the queen had such thoughts.
But it's no wonder, even if Zhu Houzhao's harem is not that chaotic, as the master of the harem, if the queen is not scheming at all, her life will not be easy.
The queen now actually begs him to be the young prince's tutor. It must be said that the queen's move is very smart.
As long as Chu Yi agrees, then from then on, the little prince will be Chu Yi's disciple. At this time, the king of heaven and earth is his teacher, and the teacher is like his father. The teacher-student relationship can be said to be the father-son relationship, the most reliable relationship besides the marriage relationship.
One of the relationships.
Once Chu Yi becomes the little prince's tutor, in the eyes of outsiders, Chu Yi becomes the little prince's backer. Anyone who wants to target the little prince must take Chu Yi's reaction into consideration. In other words, as long as Chu Yi
If he doesn't fall, then the little prince's status will be as stable as Mount Tai.
The queen really took great pains.
Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he looked at Chu Yi and said: "My eldest companion, I think what the queen said is true. My eldest companion's talents and learning may not even be comparable to those of Hong Xue Boru, and his martial arts skills are rare in the world.
.If my eldest companion can be my emperor's tutor, then I don't have to worry about your emperor's future."
The queen looked at Chu Yi with eager expectation. Chu Yi just pondered for a moment, bowed slightly and saluted Zhu Houzhao and the queen: "Your Majesty, since the empress trusts Chu Yi so much, then it is better for me to be respectful than to obey!"
"Hahaha, with my eldest companion as my son's tutor, I have nothing to worry about."
There was a bit of joy in the queen's eyes, and she said to Chu Yi with a hint of gratitude: "I have thanked King Wu on behalf of the emperor. In the future, the emperor will ask King Wu to take care of you!"
Chu Yi bowed and said: "Don't worry, Madam, this is my duty!"
The queen gave birth to a dragon son and the emperor had a queen. The news was like having wings and spread throughout the capital in a short period of time.
Among the civil and military officials, many veterans showed signs of relief after receiving the news that the emperor had a heir.
Although Zhu Houzhao is still young now, it is said that even if he has no children, it is not a big problem, but among ordinary people, this may not be a big deal. If it is the royal family, if he has no children, it is a relationship.
Now comes the big question of whether the country's foundation is stable.
Now that the queen has given birth to a dragon son, it means that there are successors to the throne and the succession is orderly. The Ming Dynasty will be passed down from generation to generation, and the country will be stable.
And as the queen gave birth to a dragon son, Zhu Houzhao's throne became more stable. As for the rumors among the people, I believe that they will naturally be broken without attack in a long time.
After Zhu Houzhao left Kunning Palace, his first imperial edict was to tell the world about the birth of the prince, and at the same time to grant amnesty to the world. Unless it was a heinous person, the emperor would extend his grace and grant pardon to the world as a celebration.
Regarding Zhu Houzhao's act of amnesty for the whole country, the civil and military officials and even the people in the capital did not find it strange. After all, this was a proper act.
Historically, when the royal family had great joy, they would always offer amnesty to the world to accumulate merit. The birth of the emperor's eldest son was a great joy for the royal family, and it was normal to offer amnesty to the world.
If no one was surprised by the first decree, then many people turned their attention to Zhu Houzhao's second decree.
The content of Zhu Houzhao's second decree was to appoint Chu Yi as the crown prince's tutor, Wang Yangming as the crown prince's tutor, and Yang Yiqing as the crown prince's guardian, responsible for the education of the eldest son of the emperor.
Although the eldest son of the emperor was not named the crown prince by Zhu Houzhao's decree, Zhu Houzhao named Chu Yi, Wang Yangming, and Yang Yiqing as Taifu, Taishi, and Taibao respectively. This almost confirmed the status of the eldest son as prince.
It's just that there was no clear edict.
In Kunning Palace, not long after the queen fell asleep, she was awakened by the confidant maid serving beside her.
The sleepy queen looked at the happy-looking palace maid and asked, "Caiwei, why did you wake me up?"
The palace maid named Caiwei endured the excitement in her heart and said to the queen: "I am so happy, so happy!"
The queen's spirit was lifted, she looked at Caiwei and said, "Tell me, where does the joy come from?"
Caiwei said excitedly: "Your Majesty, news came from the palace just now. Your Majesty has issued an edict to appoint Wu King Chu Yi as the crown prince's Tai Tuo, An Guo Gong Wang Yangming as the crown prince's Tai Tu, and Jin Guo Gong Yang Yiqing as the crown prince's Tai Tu, specifically responsible for teaching the young prince.
!”
"What!"
The Queen was startled, and then her face revealed a look of surprise, and her body couldn't help but tremble, which showed how happy the Queen was at this moment.
Even if the queen is sitting in the harem and doesn't know much about the world's major events, the imperial court has recently granted a large number of ministers with meritorious service. Whether it is Yangming, the Duke of Anguo, or Yang Yiqing, the Duke of Jin, they are the newly promoted nobles of the Ming Dynasty, and any one of them is.
A person of high authority.
Wang Yangming led the troops outside, not to mention pacifying the south of the Yangtze River, but Yang Yiqing joined the cabinet and took charge of the Ministry of War, with great power.
Nowadays, the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince's Protector are all powerful figures in the court. It can even be said that if these three are willing, they can even take over the emperor and carry out the replacement of the emperor.
Regardless of whether they are Taifu, Taishi or Taibao, these three are all teachers of the Prince of the East Palace. They have always been held by highly respected and powerful people in the court.
The Queen did not expect that the Emperor not only appointed Chu Yi as the Crown Prince and Tutor, but also added Wang Yangming, Yang Yiqing, not to mention the talents of Chu Yi, and Wang Yangming and Yang Yiqing were the most powerful people in the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, since the Jingnan period.
, the only person who was granted the title of hereditary duke based on his military merits, his ability is needless to say.
Any one of the three could be the prince's mentor, but the emperor sealed all three of them at once. If the queen hadn't been virtuous and well-educated, she would have burst into laughter upon hearing the news.
Even so, the queen's face still showed joy all over her cheeks, and she said to Caiwei with a smile on her face: "To convey my decree, the servants and maids of Kunning Palace will each be rewarded with ten taels of silver!"
Caiwei said with a happy face: "I thank you, my lady!"
However, it was said that as soon as the emperor's second decree came out, the government and the public were excited about it. The newly born prince suddenly became the object of everyone's discussion, and they suppressed the good news of Dayan Khan's capture alive.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the teachers chosen by the emperor for the young prince are all powerful men with both civil and military skills.
As long as the little prince makes some progress and has the support of Chu Yi, Wang Yangming, and Yang Yiqing, it will be a matter of course for him to inherit the throne in the future.
In the imperial garden, Chu Yi was sitting opposite Zhu Houzhao. In front of them, on a chessboard, two black and white pieces were intertwined.
Chu Yi fell down and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty should not have named Wang Yangming and Yang Yiqing as the Crown Prince's Grand Master and Crown Prince's Protector this time."
Zhu Houzhao smiled slightly, picked up a chess piece and dropped it: "I know what the great companion means. The great companion is just worried that the three prince divisions will have too much influence together, which will then cause the East Palace to become stronger and compete with the emperor for power."
Chu Yi was very pleased that Zhu Houzhao could realize this, but it was not surprising. Zhu Houzhao himself was not stupid. Even if he acted absurdly in the past, he still did not lose his duty as a king. In addition, under the influence of Chu Yi, some emperors
Zhu Houzhao still understands the tricks of the mind.
Chu Yi nodded slightly and said, "If your Majesty understands these words, I can rest assured."
Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "I know the dangers of being too powerful in the East Palace, but I am in my prime, and it will not be a problem to govern for another twenty or thirty years, so I do not plan to appoint a prince immediately.
The big companions, Wang Yangming and Yang Yiqing, teach you, but there is no need to worry about the situation where the prince becomes powerful."
Chu Yi smiled, this method can solve the problem of the power of the East Palace. At the same time, Chu Yi also realized that Zhu Houzhao had really matured a lot and had gradually grown into a qualified emperor.
Chu Yi asked himself if what he expected was true, Zhu Houzhao did not establish a prince, but ordered many princes to be educated under the third master. He might not have the intention to put pressure on his eldest son.
Although the eldest son has a natural advantage in competing for the position of prince, advantages are advantages. If his own abilities are insufficient, no one can guarantee whether Zhu Houzhao will choose another prince.
If you think about it further, the prince's move is even dividing Chu Yi, Wang Yangming, and Yang Yiqing. It is true that everyone has preferences and preferences.
Even parents have preferences for their children, let alone their own disciples.
Zhu Houzhao dare not say that he will have many heirs in the future, but it is impossible that he will only be the eldest son of the emperor. Therefore, in the process of teaching many princes in the future, whether it is Chu Yi, Wang Yangming or Yang Yiqing, he will naturally have a preference for a certain prince.
.
It is impossible for Chu Yi and the three of them to all prefer the same prince at the same time. As long as the princes they prefer are different, there will be divisions between them.
This is not to say that Zhu Houzhao has developed a fear of Chu Yi. If he wants to target Chu Yi, Zhu Houzhao is not that stupid.
With Chu Yi's current power, unless Chu Yi proclaims himself king, otherwise, even if he replaces the emperor, there will be no trouble in the world.
Couldn't Zhu Houzhao see this? Obviously Zhu Houzhao knew it very well, but Zhu Houzhao had never worried that Chu Yi would be detrimental to him.
As Zhu Houzhao said before, if he can't even trust Chu Yi, then who else in the world can he trust?
Three days later, at Caishikou in the capital, a group of Tatar nobles headed by Balsborot were taken to the execution ground.
Following the order, the heads rolled to the ground with blood spattering. At the same time, the emperor decreed that Dayan Khan was made the Duke of Changle in the Ming Dynasty, and the other Tatar nobles also received rewards.
On the prairie, wherever Cheng Xiangwu commanded tens of thousands of troops, he was slaughtered by the grassland tribes everywhere. He went straight into the depths of Mobei and finally found the location of the royal court.
After a fierce battle, Cheng Xiangwu defeated the royal court at the cost of thousands of military casualties, and captured all the nobles left behind arranged by Dayan Khan.
In this battle, at least dozens of tribes on the prairie were wiped out, and more than a dozen large tribes were forced to move north. With the attack on the royal court, the Tatar clan's power on the prairie was severely damaged and has been in decline ever since.
, it may not be possible to recover for decades.
Cheng Xiangwu traveled thousands of miles along the way. Although some soldiers died in the battle, the number of people under his command was increasing. Even though thousands of people were killed and injured in the battle to break through the Royal Court, the number was still greater than before the departure.
Nearly 10,000 people were rescued. In addition, tens of thousands of Central Plains people enslaved by the Tatars were rescued.
In addition to these rescued Central Plains people, nearly 100,000 Tatars were resurrected by Cheng Xiangwu and others, and these were all women. As for the men, they were either beheaded or killed in the process of resisting the Ming army.
He was killed afterwards, and all those left behind were women anyway.
When Cheng Xiangwu led his army back to the Central Plains, he was accompanied by nearly 150,000 people, and nearly 10 million horses, cattle, sheep, etc. were captured.
There are not too many gold, silver and jewelry on the grassland, but the raids on many tribes and even the Tatar Khan's court also resulted in millions of taels of silver.
The mighty army drove the cattle and sheep so densely packed that they could not be counted slowly southward.
More than a month has passed since Chu Yi was crowned king. Chu Yi was supervising the shipyard in Tianjin Wei to build sea ships. Suddenly, the sea of consciousness shook. Chu Yi was startled and waved.
After retreating to the left and right, his mind sank into the sea of consciousness, and Chu Yi suddenly showed a look of shock and confusion.
Originally, there were only more than 300,000 yuan of luck on the luck altar, but now it has skyrocketed to nearly 200,000 yuan, reaching a total of 550,000 yuan.
It can be said that this is definitely the biggest fortune Chu Yi has received since entering this world, and it has reached nearly two hundred thousand.
After coming back to his senses, Chu Yi squinted his eyes and thought about the reason why his luck suddenly increased so much.
He spent so much thought, excluding the consumption of practice over the years, and only managed to accumulate more than 300,000 yuan of luck. Now, it's good, it has unexpectedly increased to nearly 200,000 yuan.
Chu Yi took a deep breath and shouted in a deep voice with a look of deep thought in his eyes: "Here comes someone!"
Soon Lin Pingzhi appeared in front of Chu Yi and said respectfully: "I've seen the manager!"
Chu Yi didn't like people calling him Prince, so everyone either called him General Manager Chu or Taifu Chu.
After glancing at Lin Pingzhi, Chu Yi said: "Has there been any urgent news from Jin Yiwei in Dongchang recently?"
Lin Pingzhi was stunned for a moment, showing a somewhat puzzled look, but he still shook his head and said: "Report to the manager, Jin Yiwei, the subordinates will keep an eye on the news in the East Factory every day, there is no urgent news!"
Chu Yi nodded and said thoughtfully: "If there is any urgent news coming in these days, let me know as soon as possible!"
[It’s New Year’s Eve, and another year has come in a blink of an eye. Flea is here to wish all the brothers and sisters a happy New Year, thank you all for your continued support, and wish you all good luck in the new year and all the best!]
