The Zen Ceremony is over.
Zhu Gaoxu did not sit idle, but immediately rushed to the East Palace.
After all, Emperor Yongle is not dead yet. No matter what Zhu Gaoxu wants to do, he must give Zhu Di a good greeting.
Especially during today's Zen ceremony, Zhu Gaoxu clearly noticed that Zhu Di was in a bad mood.
If you think about it carefully, this is inevitable.
After all, Zhu Di was the Yongle Emperor, an iron-blooded emperor who had been fighting on the battlefield all his life. He just gave up all his power, even the throne, and suddenly lost everything. Zhu Di must have felt uncomfortable in his heart.
As a smart new emperor, he naturally had to stabilize the Emperor's mood at this time to avoid unnecessary suspicion and fear.
For example, Emperor Qianlong and Emperor Jiaqing of the Qing Dynasty are a clear example. The story between them is complicated and profound, full of suspicion, games and battles.
After Emperor Qianlong had been emperor for sixty years, he chose to take the initiative to abdicate, passed the emperor's throne to Emperor Jiaqing, and lived the life of the Supreme Emperor.
However, although Emperor Qianlong abdicated, he was still the actual leader of the country. After all, after being pampered and guiding the country for so many years, no one would give up all their power so easily.
Therefore, when Emperor Jiaqing succeeded to the throne, Emperor Qianlong issued an edict stating that although he had abdicated, he would not just ignore his country and people.
He clearly wrote in the edict that governing the country is not easy, and he has accumulated a lot of experience in governing the country for many years, so he will pass on his experience to Emperor Jiaqing so that he can better manage the country.
In other words, Emperor Qianlong's edict showed one thing, that is, Emperor Jiaqing was just an empty emperor. Although he was no longer on the throne, the actual power was still in his hands. The edict was just a high-sounding reason so that Emperor Qianlong could legitimately continue to hold power.
As a result, Emperor Jiaqing had no real power. He was just a puppet with the title of emperor. He was strictly restricted by Emperor Qianlong's edict and had no chance. It can be said that he did nothing in the first few years after he ascended the throne. As the puppet emperor for many years, this life of humiliation did not end until Qianlong's death.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't want to be the second in Jiaqing, so at this sensitive moment, he still had to have the proper attitude, at least to stabilize Zhu Di's emotions.
All the concubines and palace attendants of Emperor Yongle moved to the West Palace.
But even so, the West Palace is still a little lonely and quiet.
Under the leadership of Little Sniff, Zhu Gaoxu quickly arrived at Zhu Di's palace.
Before entering, Zhu Gaoxu glanced at the slightly quiet West Palace and took the initiative to speak.
"The West Palace is the residence of the Supreme Emperor after all. It is too quiet and quiet."
"Tomorrow I will ask the inner court to send a group of palace people over to enrich the inner court of the West Palace."
Naturally, Little Sniffle was delighted with this suggestion.
As Emperor Yongle passed the throne to Emperor Wude, the throne change of the Ming Dynasty was completed, and the fate of many people changed.
Take Little Nose, for example. He used to be the chief steward of the inner court and the first eunuch in front of the emperor.
But now, because Emperor Yongle became the Supreme Emperor and moved out of the Qianqing Palace to live in the West Palace, the little nose naturally had to follow him. He also lost his position as the chief steward of the inner court and became a pension eunuch.
An emperor and his ministers are the same, not only for the outer dynasty, but also for the inner court.
Now that the new emperor has taken the initiative to move the palace people over, showing his goodwill, Little Sniffle is naturally quite happy.
After entering the door, Zhu Di was wearing a pair of reading glasses and was reading an unknown book.
This pair of reading glasses was specially made by Zhu Gaoxu at the Royal Manufacturing Bureau and was given to Zhu Di as a birthday gift.
With the current manufacturing level of the Royal Manufacturing Bureau, it is not difficult to create such a pair of reading glasses.
Moreover, this pair of reading glasses was inlaid with gold and jade. It looked extremely expensive and worthy of Zhu Di's status, so Zhu Di liked them very much.
After all, this man is old, his eyesight is not good, and he can't even see clearly.
This is one of the reasons why Zhu Di wanted the Zen position.
When he sadly discovered that he could not even read the memorial clearly, not to mention handling government affairs, his helplessness and despair could be imagined.
Zhu Di was a wise emperor, so he did not want to become a drag on the Ming Dynasty.
Regardless of whether it was martial arts or martial arts, the prince Zhu Gaoxu did an extremely good job, even better than him, the Yongle Emperor. In addition, the prince Zhu Gaoxu was determined to implement the new policy of dividing people into acres and declaring war on the gentry and gentry all over the world, so Zhu Di finally made up his mind. , directly give the Zen position to the prince to help him win this war.
"Hey, Emperor, why do you still have time to come here?"
Zhu Di looked up with a smile and looked at Zhu Gaoxu, who was wearing a dragon robe, with a look of relief on his face.
I have to admit that this son is most like him. After putting on this dragon robe, he looks extremely heroic.
Zhu Gaoxu sat down with a smile and took the initiative to pour tea and water for Zhu Di.
"I've finished my work over there, so I thought I'd come over and see dad."
"After all, it's his first day as the Supreme Emperor. My son is worried that he won't get used to it. What if he starts crying?"
"Go away!" Zhu Di laughed and scolded angrily, "Will your father and I be so stingy?"
"I have fought all my life and been the emperor for so many years. Now I finally retire and I can enjoy it in peace and contentment!"
Zhu Di himself didn't believe this last sentence.
After all, his health was in extreme condition and he didn't have much time left.
"But I heard that Lao Er and Zhan Ji went drinking together and seemed to be preparing to get drunk!"
Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu's expression suddenly became strange.
Zhu Gaosui and Zhu Zhanji went to have a drink?
Is this stimulated?
Ha, what a magical fate!
Historically, the Han king Zhu Gaoxu failed in his rebellion and was turned into a clay pot chicken by Zhu Zhanji.
At that time, many courtiers suggested arresting King Zhao Zhu Gaosui, because Zhu Gaosui and Zhu Gaosui had been conspiring together for a long time. If Zhu Gaosui was not captured, King Zhao might also conspire to rebel in the future.
For the sake of reputation, Zhu Zhanji refused to agree until Zhu Gaosui died in depression. Compared with Zhu Gaojiu, the crock-pot chicken, Zhu Gaosui had a good death.
Now that Zhu Gaosui and Zhu Zhanji were drinking together, it was really hard for Zhu Gaoxu to look straight at them.
"Let them both be!"
"After all, they are all overseas vassals. It would be good to exchange more experience in governing the country."
Zhu Di smiled and nodded, very satisfied with the new emperor's answer.
What he worries most about in his life is that his descendants will fight against each other.
Fortunately, Zhu Gaoxu has a broad mind and would not do such a thing.
"How does it feel to be an emperor?"
"Well, that's it, I don't have any feelings!"
"You're such a traitor, you're so blessed that you don't know how to be blessed!"
"Then how about you take the throne back and I continue to be the crown prince?"
"..."
Zhu Di was speechless and finally took a breath.
"Get out of here!"
"I get angry just looking at you!"
"Okay!" Zhu Gaoxu stood up and left, "Dad, you can take care of yourself in peace, and I will come over to visit you often!"
Zhu Di waved his hand impatiently and watched Zhu Gaoxu leave.
Of course he understood the reason why Zhu Gaoxu came to visit at this moment, so Zhu Di felt very relieved.
This son was born to be an emperor and would only be better than Zhu Di.
For that common goal, Zhu Di secretly made up his mind.
He will live in seclusion in the West Palace and eliminate all influence of Emperor Yongle so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to the new emperor.
"Second brother, just go ahead and do it. Dad will always support you!"
