"The Emperor is entrusted with the destiny of heaven, and the edict states: The foundation of the world lies in the establishment of the country, and the etiquette must be followed by the eldest son. The emperor's eldest son, Gao Chi, is kind-hearted and filial to his friends. He is my first heir. He inherits the wealth accumulated by his ancestors and receives my teachings.
Deep, God's will, I am here to take the throne in the East Palace! From now on, you must respect God and be cautious, and it is your duty to support the army and supervise the country. The Sixth Division is responsible for the people, and 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 a formal edict, but an imperial edict that had already passed the cabinet. With this edict, it would not be the same again.
It cannot be changed.
The imperial edict to establish the crown prince is a great law of the country, no less than the grand ceremony for the new emperor's coronation. All civil and military officials must salute, so they cannot bow down to listen to the decree. Everyone kneels down to listen to the decree. Chen Ying puts her hands on the ground,
His arms were shaking wildly, his throat was dry, and he was itching so much 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. He was independent among the courtiers. He had many enemies and few friends, but because of the emperor's favor, no one could do anything about it.
He, 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 are adults. Once they are crowned the king, they must join the vassal state. I have no backing 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. Chen Ying was heartbroken when she heard this. The emperor's favorite was the second prince.
The prince became the crown prince and was in charge of Nanjing. The third prince was named King of Zhao and the vassal state of Beijing. However, the second prince, who had always been the most beloved by him, was sent to Yunnan. What does this mean...
After the imperial edict of establishing the crown prince was issued, the emperor issued another decree, appointing Duke Zhu Neng as the Crown Prince's Grand Master, Qi State Duke Qiu Fu as the Crown Prince's Grand Master, Jian Yi, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Jin Zhong, the Right 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.
The grand master is the head of the three princes, and he is conferred the title of Grand Master Zhu Neng. This is a false position and has no practical significance. As one of the oldest generals who have joined the army with the emperor, he is conferred the title of grand master Zhu Neng. This is because he hopes that his veteran minister will continue to serve as the grand 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 who survived. Although they were demoted to Beijing because of their previous affairs, Zhang Yu died early.
, but that was just a punishment, and the favor did not weaken because of it. Furthermore, although he had supported the second prince before, but he named him the Tai Tu, 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.
When he passed the second prince, he was beaten to death.
However, although he made the Grand Tutor, he did not say that he would be transferred 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 the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.
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, Taifu and 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 having hidden 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 beside 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 room for a little reward? Among the three teachers of the prince, two of them are very old. Only Yang Xu is in his prime. Having him by the side of the eldest prince is a big deal.
Probably the emperor was also worried that if he directly called his three sons to the Golden Palace to receive the title, the second son would do something rude in a moment of anger, which would be disrespectful to 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.
Already.
Naturally, Zhu Di couldn't say that he asked Dao Yan, Xie Jin and Yang Xu to edit the "Wenhua Baojian" 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.
Zhu Gen then told Yang Xu and Xie Jin that all the ancient sages' tips for cultivating oneself and governing others should be collected into the book. The words of Emperor Taizu Gao's instructions to his descendants should not be omitted. The completion of the compilation of this book will be equivalent to the example of the Ming Dynasty crown prince in the future.
standard textbook.
Xia Xun and Xie Jin bowed to receive the order, while Chen Ying stood in the middle of the class, 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 picked up 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. Obviously, although this iron-fisted emperor has made a decision, he will
As always, he used thunderous methods, but he already had inner demons, and this inner demon was his guilt for "sending his second son 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
As the imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, as his subordinate, 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 strict in your harshness, don't be too lenient, and be humble.
Ambition is to tolerate loyalty and virtue; to be diligent, frugal and peaceful, to benefit the common people, to inherit the ancestral temple, and to protect the country..."
Zhu Gaochi fell to the ground and listened to the order with a calm and calm expression. This was the exercise of his mind. If it were the second prince Zhu Gaoxu who suddenly heard that the emperor's throne was his, even if he didn't dance with joy, 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 affectionate to 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. He looked unkind when he saw him, so 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 had already done a good job, could only work hard to do better. She did not know how much she had paid silently. Among the three daughters-in-law, she was the most filial one. She worked hard to protect her husband, and 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, pipa movement, dark clouds and snow, facing the sky, uncovering and hanging the gun, collapsing the gun, every move are extremely impressive.
When the subordinate reported the report, he was swinging his head with a pear blossom move. A big gun in his hand was like wind and snow, piercing his eyes with upwards and bumping his spear with downwards. The spear quivered like a shadow. When he heard the report, Zhu Gaoxu fiercely
He made a very beautiful retracting gesture, turned around and saw 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, grabbed Zhu Gaoxu's wrist, and said urgently: "Your Highness must remember, no matter what, never 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 at a high level.
Sadly, they are all about single chapters, but my weakness is single chapters! Brother, should you read a book or a single chapter? I am so worried that I pull my hair, one strand after another...
