Xia Xun detailed the emperor's usual courtesy 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 that the emperor has transferred to the East Palace for processing has slightly increased or decreased, the number is generally stable and there is no change.
In addition, the prince was in the East Palace and went to greet his father every day. When the father and son met, apart from 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. There was nothing at this point.
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 presented.
The one in front of him was as thick as a foot.
Xia Xun repeatedly compared and speculated on all the materials. When he finally ordered people to destroy the materials, he was finally sure that the emperor did not want Yi Chu. He preferred Zhu Gaoxu to take charge, probably because Zhu Gaoxu was in charge.
His outstanding performance in the campaign against the Tatars, and during that time the father and son got along day and night, fighting side by side, and their relationship improved, so they began to love and indulge his son again.
For the emperor, the desire to satisfy his son's request to lead the expedition was just a matter 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, which was one level above the princes and princes and the highest position after the emperor and 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. Whether the emperor gave Tiancewei to the King of Han was a sign of Yi Chu, civil and 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, Zhu Gaoxu would definitely become the brightest political star in the court again. There would be people who would think that the emperor was going to be easy to inherit, so they would defect to the King of Han and cheer for him.
In the future, the emperor who had no intention of deposing the prince and establishing a new heir might not have such thoughts. Therefore, while Xia Xun breathed a sigh of relief, he did not slack off. He analyzed Zhu Di's thoughts with a father's mentality,
Then the counterattack began.
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 storage. If this was the case, he would use his hidden power to carry out "praising and killing." I'm afraid it would be self-defeating.
, 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 and the deadlock could not last forever. Annan had to react as soon as possible, and now that the King of Han had clearly gained the upper hand, he was likely to be completely defeated if there was no danger. Combined with the detailed information he had
, Xia Xun believed that his judgment was still quite possible. After weighing it again and again, 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 on 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.
Supplying the King of Han, the emperor pondered over and over again about this suggestion, and then went to ask Zhu Gaoxu for his opinion. Of course, Zhu Gaoxu did not want it, and Zhu Di agreed.
The purpose of the promotion has been achieved. These seemingly neutral factions, but in fact the hidden forces of the prince faction, have retired and are no longer on the front line. Those smart-ass wallflowers happily took this last stick and started
He couldn't wait to join the camp that supported the King of Han, cheered for him, and advocated deception.
Xia Xun's plan to kill him was 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 don’t want another dose of better medicine to arrive on my doorstep.
Tatar Pingzhang Tuohubai arrived in Beijing. Xia Xun is a man who is good at seizing all opportunities. How could he let this good opportunity pass. If he started with Tuohubai, the method would obviously be more subtle. Xia Xun immediately changed his tune and saw what happened.
There is no possibility of taking advantage of the situation.
Tuohujie brought Alutai's memorial, paid tribute to 300 horses, and officially handed over to the Ming Dynasty the official seal awarded to Alutai by Zhongshu Province of the Qi Dynasty 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 relic of Ya, can follow the way of heaven, come and return with flags, show his gratitude and receive seals, and is willing to work with his subordinates, love to add favors, and praise you with tin. I am specially appointed to be the special master of Guanglu, and to be the commander-in-chief.
The army and the people of this place will guard our land for the rest of our lives."
After Tuo Huji kowtowed and thanked him, he also presented a roster of 2,962 leaders, big and small, in Ta's army. All of these people had given up their official positions in the Yuan Dynasty and asked the Ming Emperor to re-appoint them. Zhu Lin 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 Hongkou Temple.
Tuohujie came to Jinling this time, but he had a secret mission, and of course he would not return just like that. So after he checked into Hongbo 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 the tiles. It is said that when Benya lost his way to the west, he took the national ridge of the Yuan Dynasty with him.
If Wa Sheng dies, Yu Lei will definitely fall into the hands of Wasi. He instigates the Ming Dynasty to demand Yu Lei from Wasi, and swears that if Wa Sheng does not hand over Yu Lei and the Ming Dynasty decides to send troops, the Tatars will definitely send troops to follow the emperor and attack Wasi.
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 northern part 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 Central Plains for more than forty years and were now in their fifties and sixties.
After Zhu Di heard Tuo Huge's report, he just shook his head and said disapprovingly: "I don't value this treasure!" Then he sent him back. Finally, he asked for a ride to return Alutai's brother and sister.
Heng means that it can be considered and studied.
In fact, when Zhu Di heard that the jade seal fell into the hands of Wa Ci, he was not unmoved, but he knew Tatar's intention of doing this better. At the moment, it was impossible for him to make a big move against Wa Ci, so he naturally had to show that he didn't care.
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 had been sitting in the Huitong Hall guessing riddles all day long, 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 Hongsi Temple. When he used to work at Hongdu Temple, this dear man was his grandma and uncle who did not love him. Now he has been promoted to a member of the Ministry of Etiquette, and his relationship with his old colleagues at Hongfu Temple has suddenly warmed up.
They often walked around each other. On this day, Zhang Xitong walked around Hongkong Temple again and went to the Huitong Pavilion to sit down. 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 Fan's vanguard and conquered the Tatars together. In the ears of the Tatars, he was also a figure who was enlightened by thunder.
, Therefore, Tuohujie firmly believed in Zhang Xitong's "unintentional" revelation of the words of the Han king and the emperor, which had great influence on the Ming court. He was a key figure who could influence the political situation.
Zhu Di was a man of civility and military prowess, but his eldest son and his second son seemed to have only inherited one aspect of his abilities. The eldest son was outstanding in martial arts, while the second son was brave in martial arts. The King of Han was a handsome man on the battlefield, and when he came to politics
He became an idiot. Hearing that the Tatar envoy Tuohu had paid him a visit, he proudly welcomed him into his house. He knelt down and accepted his gift with a large golden sword. They met him cordially and had a friendly conversation.
.
When Chen Kuai heard about it, it was too late to rush to stop him. Chen Kuai was so angry that he beat his chest and his beard stood up fiercely, like a hedgehog!
Dongchang immediately sent the news to the imperial court. Ji Gang, who had kept the secret report to see what was going on, 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.
After passing the inner study room, it is destined to be much later than Dongchang.
Zhu Di's face suddenly darkened after reading the report that Dongchang had submitted to the emperor.
When Xia Xun heard the news in the Fuguo Duke's Mansion, he clapped his hands and laughed and said: "The battle for the command of the Southern Expedition is settled!"
