Emperors before Lao Zhu could have many reign names. For example, there were more than a dozen people like Wu Zetian who changed their reign names, and the reasons for changing their reign names were also all kinds of strange. According to rumors, because
I was so satisfied with a certain male favorite that I changed my reign name to Ruyi...
Of course, when the emperor changes his reign, the calendar will have to be rewritten, and the official documents of the court will also need to be adjusted accordingly. The administrative costs will be greatly increased, especially among the people, who will also have to adjust accordingly, which will inevitably disturb the people.
Therefore, Lao Zhu, who was frugal by nature, no longer changed his reign name, but one emperor and one title.
Since the Ming Dynasty, a certain emperor can be called by his reign name.
Therefore, the reign name becomes particularly important, which is the emperor's name.
Zhu Di had just succeeded in pacifying the troubles and proclaimed himself emperor, and he was given the title of rebel. This felt like eating two pounds of rat shit. Let's not talk about that depression.
Zhu Gaoxu was also dumbfounded. He actually checked to see if there were any duplicates, but the problem was that he only looked at the orthodox dynasty and the rebels like Fang La. Who knows what his reign name is?
"Idiot, why don't you be more careful?"
Zhu Di's pupils were bloodshot, and he was really angry. He was different from the emperor who normally succeeded to the throne, and he had the same reign title as the rebels. One can imagine his raging anger.
It was the first time that Zhu Gaoxu saw his father so scary. He hurriedly lay on the ground and kowtowed, "Father, if you don't do anything about your ministers, it's the Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy... I'll go and catch them all now."
Cut off your head to vent your anger!"
"etc!"
After hearing this, Queen Xu's eyes were red. Her eldest brother was on death row, her fourth brother died tragically, and the Xu family didn't even have a man to support her family.
Xu Jingchang thought about it for a while and said: "Queen, this matter..."
Especially when it came to Zhu Di, he had just succeeded in Jing Nan and flaunted himself as Zhu Yuanzhang's most caring and good son. One of the reasons why Jing Nan raised an army was that Zhu Yunwen, instigated by traitors, destroyed the ancestral system and violated Zhu Yuanzhang's orders.
Queen Xu smiled, "Okay, I should go into the palace to see your majesty. You are so capable, my aunt will definitely find a good job for you. No one should underestimate the Xu family!"
Zhu Gaochi is kind and kind, and if he is the crown prince, his brothers will all be able to survive.
Obtaining a copy of Zhu Yuanzhang's posthumous edict is tantamount to further saying that Zhu Di's succession to the throne is natural.
From the Crown Prince to the Crown Prince, everything is natural.
Regardless of whether anyone believes it or not, this is what must be done.
Xu Jingchang said: "Although it is difficult to say what will happen in the future, His Highness's reserve position was decided by Emperor Taizu. Your Majesty is the filial son of Taizu. As long as this matter is reported to Your Majesty, Your Highness's reserve position will be stable."
.As for what will happen next, Your Majesty is in his prime, so you can take your time."
Indeed, my nephew is not simple!
Zhu Gaochi's position as the crown prince was conferred by Zhu Yuanzhang while he was still alive.
Xu Jingchang nodded hurriedly, "As long as my aunt orders it, my nephew will definitely obey it."
"Easy?" Empress Xu snorted: "In the past, the matter of seizing the legitimate sons, brothers killed each other, father and son turned against each other, how could it be easy?"
There is still a long way to go!
Zhu Di pondered over and over again, and finally did not have an attack. Instead, he squeezed out two words through his teeth, "Go back to the palace."
Xu Jingchang stopped Zhu Gaoxu and hurriedly turned to Zhu Di and said: "Your Majesty, I only vaguely remember that I have been obsessed with the death of my father a few days ago and can't extricate myself. Now that Your Majesty is here, I occasionally think about it and don't know what is right or wrong. Now that the imperial edict on the throne has been issued,
I feel that Your Majesty should check first to see if what I said is right. Even if I am right, I would like to ask Your Majesty to think twice before taking any action..."
Xu Jingchang was stunned. Did he think he was a little too smart?
"Auntie, what do you think my nephew can do? My father is gone, and even if my uncle survives, he will not be reused. With such a big Xu family, my nephew is really scared, walking on thin ice, as if facing an abyss... I, I should
How can we keep this home?" Xu Jingchang's voice was sad.
Empress Xu looked at her young nephew for a long time and then said: "My child, I haven't seen you for four or five years. You have grown up so much and your mind has broadened. My aunt is so amazed!"
This is the real honor!
It's a pity that Xu Jingchang was not happy for a day. News came that Queen Xu came to Beijing!
Xu Jingchang was also stunned. Before Zhu Di ascended the throne, he sent a message to his aunt. It was not a shortcut from Peking to Yingtian. It would be great if Luan Jia could reach Xuzhou.
Xu Jingchang hurriedly saluted his aunt and quickly invited her into the study to sit down.
Empress Xu looked at her eldest nephew and said directly: "Forget chatting, you wrote to me and said two things, one is about the eldest brother and the other is about the second child. You ask me what to do.
, I just want to ask you now, what is your plan?"
After saying that, Zhu Di left in anger. At this moment, he was like a volcano that could erupt at any time. The danger was extremely high. But the unlucky Zhu Gaoxu had to follow behind, always waiting for the wrath.
It only took three days to send my letter, which was all planned. It came too fast, didn't it?
Xu Jingchang really guessed it right. After getting the news, Queen Xu led her ten followers, and with the same vigor as Prime Minister Cao chasing Uncle Liu, they traveled five hundred miles a day and arrived directly at Yingtian.
Queen Xu has spent the past few years leading troops to defend the city, organizing logistics, and appeasing people's hearts. She has also honed her skills.
Queen Xu took a deep breath, her expression changed again and again, and finally she sighed heavily.
Zhu Gaoxu is so evil and ruthless that for the sake of becoming the crown prince, he will kill his uncle without hesitation and eradicate the roots. When he becomes the emperor, he will not kill all his brothers!
In fact, Xu Jingchang had already implicitly expressed this meaning in his letter. Because of this, Queen Xu couldn't wait to see Xu Jingchang. The life of her eldest brother was very important, but the fight between her two biological sons made her even more exhausted and miserable.
But even so, Xu Jingchang was in a good mood and even found a purple bamboo fishing rod left by his father. Judging from the workmanship alone, Xu Zengshou was also a man of fun.
"Jingchang, what you said makes sense, but now all the generals in the army support the King of Han. As a mother, even if I am biased, I cannot force your majesty to do something. Do you understand my difficulty?"
Xu Jingchang perked up and said hurriedly: "Thanks to my aunt, my nephew has the courage to say that these two things are actually the same thing. As long as the position of the crown prince is resolved and the King of Han's evil thoughts are dispelled, the world will naturally be at peace."
"Don't call me queen. I haven't been officially canonized yet. You called me aunt in your letter. This is a friendly term. We are a family member at all times." Empress Xu expressed her stance.
This taste was so sour and refreshing that he no longer cared about the Xu family's affairs, he just wanted to protect himself.
I can finally live a wonderful life with no worries about food and clothing and can fish all day long.
"Your Majesty is in trouble, but the Xu family is in trouble." Empress Xu snorted: "Don't worry, with my aunt here, no one in the Ming Dynasty can bully the Xu family. I will write a letter to Gao Chi later and tell you to follow
Tell him what I said. You are also brothers. If you support each other from now on, my aunt will feel relieved."
After saying that, Zhu Gaoxu got up and ran outside. Killing was the second most important thing. The key was to escape from the angry Zhu Di as soon as possible.
It was all those traitors who violated Taizu's wishes and insisted on supporting Zhu Yunzhen to ascend the throne, which led to the Jingnan Campaign.
Moreover, after entering Beijing, he did not go to the palace, but went directly to Xu Mansion.
Xu Jingchang thought for a moment and then smiled and said: "Auntie, if you are willing, you can find a way to get a will."
Looking at their retreating figures, Xu Jingchang wished he could follow them and have a look. However, this kind of thing was related to Zhu Di's face, and it was not easy for the emperor to make it public until he made a decision.
"It's either a forgery or a draft edict. The general meaning is that Emperor Taizu wants to appoint the emperor's fourth son as the crown prince... and then write in the edict that the fourth son, King Yan, is wise and wise, and the emperor's grandson, Gao Chi, is honest and benevolent.
, that’s enough.”
"Get a copy?" Queen Xu was shocked, "You want me to forge a will?"
I thought that if Jingnan was successful, if I sat on the throne, the world would listen to me. But now I see that I want to keep things simple.
Queen Xu was shocked again. She thought for a moment and couldn't help but nod and smile.
By the way, Zhu Gaochi was added to the list. As long as Zhu Di accepted this so-called edict, Zhu Gaochi's position as crown prince would be confirmed.
Queen Xu suddenly raised her head, stared at Xu Jingchang, and snorted: "Why are you so sure that the King of Han cannot be the crown prince? He is also my son, your Majesty likes him, and he has prestige in the army. Is it just because he offended the Xu family?
Will Fa become the crown prince?"
"What you said makes sense. Is it appropriate for me to tell His Majesty directly like this?"
Xu Jingchang hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Aunt, how dare my nephew dare to alienate the relationship between mother and son of the Tian family? I just think that if His Highness becomes the crown prince, these aunt's legitimate sons will be safe and sound. But if the King of Han is allowed to ascend the throne, with his style
, I’m afraid I won’t be merciful. Then it won’t be just the Xu family who will die.”
Zhu Di raised his eyebrows. He was already 70% convinced that those civil servants who still thought of Emperor Jianwen might indeed use this method to give themselves eye drops.
We are still in mourning period and can't go to Xuanwu Lake, so we can try the pond in Xu's back garden.
All in all, no matter people or events at this time, as long as they are involved with Lao Zhu, they will become sacrosanct.
Xu Jingchang nodded and said: "My nephew understands, but my nephew thinks that this matter is not so troublesome and can be easily solved."
"I pay my respects to the Queen."
Xu Jingchang paused and said: "My nephew is still in mourning. The most important thing is the King of Han. I hope my aunt can take care of me."
"Take care of him?" Queen Xu was puzzled, "Don't you support the boss?"
Xu Jingchang said: "That was the crown prince, and we are all relatives. He mistakenly used Fang La's reign name, and His Majesty was furious."
After hearing this, Queen Xu's anger instantly rose...
