Emperor Yongle died of illness, and all the people howled and cried bitterly.
The ruling and opposition parties were in despair, and this sad atmosphere lasted for half a year.
To all the civil and military officials, Emperor Yongle was indeed a wise and wise leader with great talents and strategies.
During his reign, he worked hard to develop the economy, promote culture and education, and vigorously develop the economy through many measures such as moving the capital to Beijing, compiling the "Yongle Dadian", and sending Zheng He to the Western Seas, making the world well-governed, the country prosperous, and the territory vast.
In addition, Emperor Yongle was a fierce and iron-blooded emperor. He personally conquered Mobei and Annan in the south for many times. He also established three battalions of imperial guards in the capital to promote the country's prestige to the outside world, vigorously develop overseas exchanges, and sent Zheng He to the Western Ocean to manage the South China Sea. , sent Chen Cheng as envoy to the Western Regions, creating a prosperous era when all nations came to court.
Historians have always been impartial, and this time they gave Zhu Di a very high evaluation in the history books.
"The heroic strategy is the same as that of Emperor Gaozu. The Sixth Division came out repeatedly, and the dust in the north of Mobei was clear. By the end of the year, his mighty virtue was so great that guests from all over the world were submissive, and nearly thirty countries were ordered to pay tribute. The territory is so vast and the distance is vast. Han and Tang Dynasties. Successful and heroic, outstanding and prosperous!"
After discussions between Zhu Gaoxu and the Manchu civil and military officials, they all agreed that Emperor Yongle deserved the temple title of "Taizong".
You must know that not everyone is eligible for the temple title "Taizong".
In the temple names of Chinese emperors, "Those who have meritorious service are called ancestors, and those who are virtuous are called ancestors."
Therefore, generally speaking, the temples of the founding emperors are called "ancestors", such as Taizu, Gaozu, Shizu, etc.; while the temples of subsequent emperors are called "zong", such as Renzong, Xiaozong, Gaozong, etc.
Usually, a dynasty has only one "ancestor" but many "zongs". Therefore, the popularity of "ancestors" in history is much higher than that of "zongs". However, among many "zongs", one is more famous than No less inferior to "ancestors", that is "Taizong", such as Han Taizong Liu Heng, Tang Taizong Li Shimin, Ming Taizong Zhu Di, and Qing Taizong Huang Taiji.
Because Taizong was born in the prosperous times since ancient times.
Whether it was Liu Heng, Emperor Taizong of the Han Dynasty, Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, or Zhu Di, Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty, they were all rare wise emperors who created peaceful and prosperous times one after another by relying on their superior abilities and diligent governance.
The generous and peaceful Taizong Liu Heng of the Han Dynasty created the "Government of Wen and Jing".
Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, created the "Government of Zhenguan".
The talented Ming Taizong Zhu Di created the "Yongle prosperous age"!
Whether it is "Yuanmai Han and Tang Dynasties" or the temple name "Taizong", the world thinks highly of Zhu Di.
Of course, this is what Zhu Di deserves.
On this day, Zhu Gaoxu learned that King Zhao and the King of North America asked for an audience, and he immediately summoned them.
As expected, Zhu Gaosui and Zhu Zhanji came hand in hand, just to say goodbye and return to their fiefdom.
"Brother Imperial, after staying in the capital for so long, I should go back!"
Zhu Gaosui said with a smile: "Counting the time, it's almost two or three years ago!"
"If I don't return to the feudal country, I'm worried that those brats under my command will rebel against me!"
Zhu Zhanji also spoke immediately, with the same purpose, wanting to return to the feudal America.
Now that Emperor Yongle has passed away, for Zhu Zhanji, there is nothing worth remembering about the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, during this period of time, Zhu Zhanji watched the Ming Dynasty develop rapidly and rapidly. He also learned a lot of experience in governing the country, so he couldn't wait to go back and develop his own Ming Dynasty in America.
No matter how well the Central Plains Ming Dynasty develops, it has nothing to do with Zhu Zhanji, because the Central Plains Ming Dynasty belongs to Zhu Gaoxu.
Therefore, Zhu Zhanji wants to go back and create his own prosperous Ming Dynasty in North America!
Hearing his words, Zhu Gaoxu felt a little sad.
The emperor's father had just passed away, and these two guys came to ask for their resignation. It seemed a bit unreasonable no matter how you looked at it.
But this is the normal state of the royal family. Many times, family affection is not put first, or even last!
"Have you all thought about it?"
"In that case, let's go back!"
Zhu Gaoxu did not stop him, nor did he ask to stay.
Whether it is the Ming Dynasty in North America or the seven Southeast Asian countries, they all have very important strategic significance for the Ming Dynasty.
So they went back as soon as possible to develop the feudal country and become the peripheral wings of the Ming Dynasty in the Central Plains. This is more important than anything else!
As for family ties, this is too ridiculous for the royal family.
Zhu Gaosui and Zhu Zhanji both nodded and felt relieved.
Seeing that Zhu Gaojiu was a little depressed, Zhu Gaosui opened his mouth with a smile.
"Don't worry, dick!"
"When I get back, I will immediately find some big horses for you!"
"Huh? What kind of ocean horse?" Zhu Zhanji stuck his head out and asked with curiosity on his face.
"Hahaha……"
Seeing this situation, Zhu Gaosui and Zhu Gaoxu burst out laughing in unison.
They recalled that day when Zhu Gaosui was beaten all over the head by Mr. Zhu Di because he was riding a big horse!
"By the way, second brother, I'm not trying to persuade you, I just want you to be fully prepared."
"The policy of sharing one's family with one's own family can be said to have cut off the lifeblood of scholars. They will definitely not sit still and wait for death!"
Zhu Gaojiu reminded him worriedly. He also knew Zhu Gaojiu's plan, so he was indeed a little uneasy.
After all, this kind of thing has never happened in the past dynasties, and emperors have never done it before!
In fact, ever since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty "deposed hundreds of schools of thought to only respect Confucianism," the imperial courts of all dynasties have treated scholars with good food and drink, because the imperial court needs them to be officials and herdsmen for the emperor!
Even in the pre-Song Dynasty, the status and power of scholars was elevated to an extreme. Civil servants and gentry dared to insult the emperor in public and accuse the emperor of his wrongdoings. Military officers and generals could only act as dogs to the civil servants and gentry. The structure of the court was extremely deformed.
Now Zhu Gaoxu is good. This martial emperor wants to do the opposite and is ready to give the world's scholars a hard blow!
The reaction of the scholar can basically be imagined.
Zhu Gaojiu didn't know about other things, but he knew that if Zhu Gaojiu really did this, his reputation as a moral emperor would be completely ruined.
You must know that a scholar's pen is comparable to a warrior's sword, and it is the kind that kills people without blood!
"Second brother, you have to consider this matter carefully!"
Zhu Gaojiu nodded, knowing that this was Zhu Gaojiu's good intention.
"Do not worry!"
"I will be fully prepared."
"If there is someone who is not afraid of death and jumps out, then the whole clan will be exiled to you!"
Hearing this, Zhu Gaosui and Zhu Zhanji were overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.
There is a shortage of such scholars in their country, especially officials and gentry who have served as officials.
"That's a good feeling!"
"As much as you want!"
The three of them continued chatting for a while, and then Zhu Gaosui and Zhu Zhanji left.
Zhu Gaoxu did not go to see it off, but asked the prince Zhu Zhanhe to see it off, while he sat on the dragon chair in a daze.
Now, he, Zhu Gaoxu, has become a real loner!
