In the capital of gods, in the forbidden area, in the palace of Qianqing.
Zhu Jingyuan led several bachelors and was explaining the newly revised bibliography to the emperor.
Several bachelors took turns to explain, and after half an hour of explanation, they finally finished the contents of the 400 to 420 volumes of the Ancestor Records.
"Dad, do you think there is anything wrong?" Zhu Jingyuan bowed and asked.
This part of the record records Zhu Shenzhuo's later years, more than thirty years ago.
On the throne, Zhu Xianming had read through the newly revised records twice, but his brows were furrowing tighter and tighter, which made Zhu Jingyuan's heart skip a beat.
The prince was defeated and vomited blood and fell into coma. In Zhu Jingyuan's view, this was the best opportunity. If the prince died, he could take over the East Palace as the heir apparent.
Of course, the latest news has come that Zhu Jingyuan has woken up and handed over military power to Zhu Jinghong.
After learning that the fourth child was fine, Zhu Jingyuan, who was quietly celebrating with his wife, threw two more pieces of porcelain in the study.
In the past few days, Zhu Jingyuan doubled down on his performance, hoping to seize this best opportunity and let his father replace the ineffective prince.
"Lao Liu..."
"Dad, you give me your orders!" Zhu Jingyuan said with an apologetic smile.
"This... doesn't seem to be complete!" Zhu Xianming put down the book.
"ah?"
Zhu Jingyuan was stunned, and then looked at the bachelors behind him, hoping that they would give an explanation.
The credit for repairing the book belongs to him, Zhu Jingyuan, but if something goes wrong, someone else will definitely have to take the blame.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have consulted the daily notes, the memorials from the 28th year of Zhangwu to the 31st year of Zhangwu, and also asked the veterans from the Zhangwu period. Just now..."
Before the bachelor could finish speaking, Zhu Xianming asked, "So you think what I said was wrong?"
After hearing this, several bachelors dared to argue, and they immediately knelt down and kowtowed to confess their sins.
"Whether it is daily notes or memorials of criticism and replies, it is difficult to fully present the great achievements of the ancestors!"
"You can't just focus on these, you should ask more and check more. Don't think about submitting the manuscript in a hurry just to deal with errands!"
Although the emperor's tone was calm, it still frightened the scholars present.
Handing in the manuscript in a hurry and dealing with the situation... If this matter were taken seriously, it would be a crime of disrespect.
"You go back and read the story of the ancestors carefully, be sure to check for omissions and fill in the gaps and strive for improvement...Stay back!"
"yes!"
The bachelors kowtowed and left, wiping the sweat from their foreheads only after leaving the hall. They all looked like they were surviving a disaster.
Zhu Jingyuan, who stayed in the main hall, was full of doubts at this moment.
He was deeply involved in the newly revised Ancestor Records from beginning to end, and he really could not have imagined that there were some omissions.
"Is it possible that I've gone too far in the past two days and the old man wants to beat me?" Zhu Jingyuan muttered in his heart.
Just as he was thinking wildly, he heard the emperor say: "Lao Liu, when the true record of the ancestors is coming to an end, you must be cautious and not slack off at all!"
"Dad, we have checked the notes on Shizu's daily life and the memorials from that year. We also asked about the former civil and military ministers of Shizu's time..."
"My son is stupid. I really don't know what I have omitted. I hope my father will make it clear!"
Zhu Xianming didn't leave Zhu Jingyuan alone just to make it clear. After all, he said some things in front of outsiders, which the emperor would not be able to shame.
"In the twenty-eighth year of Zhang Wu, I was only fifteen years old, and it was my first time to accompany my grandfather to conquer Rakshasa..."
"The ice and snow conditions back then are still vivid in my mind..."
Speaking of this, Zhu Xianming also showed a nostalgic look, as if he was really immersed in memories.
"It was my first time to go into battle. Grandpa Shizu valued me and gave me 3,000 troops from the capital to fight against 5,000 Rakshasa Kingdom troops..."
"I won a great victory in my first battle. The Rakshasa army was defeated and retreated, beheading 1,300 people. This battle was the first battle of the Northern Expedition. Therefore, the morale of our army was greatly boosted..."
"The Holy Patriarch was greatly comforted. He gave me a jar of royal wine in front of everyone, and said to the generals: With this holy grandson, the world will be at peace!"
After saying this, Zhu Xianming looked at his son who was still thinking, and said in a deep voice: "Are these things recorded in the records?"
Regarding Zhu Xianming's victory in the first battle, there is indeed a record in the Daily Notes, but there is only the sentence "Emperor Sun Ming led the troops in the first battle and defeated the Rakshasa's soldiers", and it has been selected into the actual record.
But the matter of giving wine and praising in public was indeed not mentioned in the daily notes.
On the other hand, Prince Li, whose family was exterminated, often had words of praise from the ancestors, but they were deleted from the actual records.
If we really want to discuss it, the title of "Saint Sun" is suitable for Prince Li Zhu Xiankun.
But after just a brief thought, Zhu Jingyuan knew what to do, whether it made his father happy or not.
"Son, I understand. This is indeed an oversight on our part. I hope my father will forgive me!" Zhu Jingyuan immediately admitted his mistake.
"Repair your books carefully. You must read the great achievements of our ancestors carefully. Don't neglect them!"
I'm afraid it's due to your great achievements, dad... Zhu Jingyuan complained in his heart.
He already understood the emperor's intention. Starting from the 28th year of Zhang Wu, Zhu Xianming would appear in the records more frequently.
At this moment, Zhu Jingyuan couldn't help but blame himself. Such a good way to flatter him was actually ignored by him. He deserved it.
At this moment, a young eunuch entered the hall and handed a report to the eunuch in the hall. Cheng Ying finally brought it to Zhu Xianming.
"Your Majesty, this is the good news from Jinling!"
Zhu Xianming opened it immediately and took a look. He was still very concerned about the situation in Jinling.
Zhu Xianming was shocked when he saw that under Zhu Jinghong's coordination, all the Japanese pirates had been wiped out.
At the same age of fifteen, he only led three thousand soldiers and fought hard to defeat the Rakshasa people.
But this old man, Thirteen, has commanded more than 30,000 troops and is in charge of suppressing bandits in the land of Jinling. He can finish it in three days...
In comparison, Zhu Xianming's originally proud victory in the first battle suddenly became unpalatable.
After all, being able to command so many troops and wipe out the Japanese pirates so efficiently is also a manifestation of ability and ability.
Putting down the report, Zhu Xianming slowly teased: "This old Thirteen, I have underestimated him in the past!"
Three days ago, when he learned that Zhu Jinghong had commanded the army, he issued another decree, asking him not to act recklessly and to return military power to the Jinling capital.
I think that when the imperial edict was issued, Jinling's Japanese suppression was already over.
"Dad, what's wrong?" Zhu Jingyuan was very curious.
Zhu Xianming replied: "Old Thirteen has wiped out the Japanese pirates!"
"Ah? Old Thirteen, is it him?" Zhu Jingyuan looked surprised.
He knew Zhu Jinghong's virtues very well. It was a joke for such a fool to lead the army, but he actually got things done neatly.
I have to find something wrong with him, Zhu Jingyuan thought to himself.
So Zhu Jingyuan smiled and said: "Dad, although Old Thirteen is a bit reckless, he has some talent for martial arts. He can become a general in the future!"
Being able to be a general in the future is equivalent to saying that he is not suitable to be a prince.
"If he can get rid of his reckless temperament and go to school honestly, his future will be unlimited!"
Not only is it limitless, if Zhu Jinghong becomes such a person, he will be Zhu Jingyuan's main enemy.
The fourth child was so lucky that he actually pulled the thirteenth child over. I can't just sit back and watch... Zhu Jingyuan thought to himself.
"Even if I can't bring Old Thirteen to my side, I still have to mess up the relationship between the two of them!" Zhu Jingyuan thought about it.
Although Zhu Jinghong is wary of Zhu Jinghong again, Zhu Jingyuan still won't care too much if the other person is still a reckless man.
Drawing Zhu Jinghong to his side is the best choice for maximizing interests.
"Let him study honestly, huh... might as well let the sun come out from the west!" Zhu Xianming said with a cold face.
Seeing that his father still looked down upon Lao Shisan, Zhu Jingyuan felt even more relieved. How could a reckless martial artist participate in the competition for a big position?
"Dad, it's a blessing to have a thirteenth brother, otherwise I don't know how the fourth brother would clean up this mess in Jinling!"
At this time, Zhu Jingyuan did not forget to give his brother eye drops.
"The fourth child...he has never been able to accomplish anything!"
Speaking of this, Zhu Xianming's face was full of disappointment, which made Zhu Jingyuan feel secretly happy.
At this time, Cheng Ying reminded: "Your Majesty, there is also a report from the Jin Yiwei!"
