There was a sound of crying and howling in the Chinese army's tent.
All the generals cried bitterly, and the wailing sound was like shaking the earth.
Zhu Gaoxu, who was waiting outside the tent and jumped anxiously, subconsciously wanted to rush inside.
But the guard at the door stopped him because the emperor had no order to summon him.
"Get away!"
Zhu Gaoxu, whose eyes turned red with rage, pushed away the guard and strode into the tent.
The first thing he saw when he entered the tent was the imperial edict, the emperor's seal, the military talisman, and the emperor's sword in Li Yunze's hand.
At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
"Dad..." His strong body suddenly softened and he knelt directly on the ground. "You lied to me~~~"
You must know that Zhu Di told him personally back then.
'The prince is often sick, you should encourage him! '
For this sentence, Zhu Gaoxu fought for many years.
But now...
Years of grievances and the anger caused by being deceived made Zhu Gaoxu's mind go blank.
Then he stood up suddenly and pounced directly on Li Yunze.
Not giving?
OK, then I'll grab it myself!
Even if he persisted in training for a long time, Li Yunze still knew very clearly that he was no match for Zhu Gaochi, a fierce general who had been fighting on the battlefield all year round.
So at this time, he shouted very calmly.
"Take it."
The surrounding generals immediately swarmed forward and hugged Zhu Gaoxu tightly.
"Are you crazy?" Zhu Gaoxu struggled desperately, "Let me go!"
"Your Majesty, stop making trouble." Zhang Fu shouted at Zhu Gaoxu's side, "Your Majesty's decree, military power has been handed over to the great grandson!"
The bottom line of military generals may not be much higher than that of civil servants, but it is always higher than that of civil servants.
If Li Yunze was powerless and incompetent, even with Zhu Di's edict, there would be trouble and dissent.
After all, no matter how you say it, no matter how high Zhu Di's prestige is, he is already dead.
Death is like a lamp going out, and his intimidating power has become a thing of the past at this moment.
The reason why the generals were willing to obey Li Yunze was first of all because of Zhu Di's intention to stay, and secondly because of Li Yunze's outstanding abilities, which they all noticed.
What's more, he has the status of righteousness given by Zhu Di's posthumous edict.
If it is violated, it has become rebellion in a broad sense.
Finally, and the most important point is.
Li Yunze is not a powerless little person. There are tens of thousands of elites directly belonging to him in this camp!
Moreover, the prince is in charge of state affairs and has the full support of the civil servants.
The generals' families and children are all there, and the lifeblood of the army's food and grass supply is also in the hands of the prince.
Even if anyone really wants to support Zhu Gaoxu, they have to weigh the poor success rate.
Li Yunze unveiled the first posthumous edict. The content was very simple, specifying that Prince Zhu Gaochi would inherit the throne.
After reading it out in public, Zhu Gaoxu's eyes suddenly lost their sparkle.
As for the second testament, it was left to Li Yunze.
According to the imperial edict, he must be the crown prince, and no one else can.
"British Duke."
After reading the edict, Li Yunze immediately called to Zhang Fu, "You will stay here to deal with the funeral affairs, and my second uncle will also be left in your care. The other generals will immediately select their troops and follow me back to the camp."
Those who came over Langjuxu Mountain were only tens of thousands of selected elites.
The real army is still in the hands of Zhao Jian Wang Zhu Gaosui on the other side of the mountain.
For Li Yunze, he can step back from paying funerals to Zhu Di. Controlling military power is the most important thing at the moment.
Zhang Fu was left to take care of Zhu Gaoxu, and Li Yunze took all the other generals away because they were going to be used to take charge of the military.
They marched almost secretly and quickly, all the way over Langjuxu Mountain, and finally returned to the military camp.
Zhu Gaosui stepped forward to greet him in confusion, "Why are you back? Where is the old man?"
"Third uncle."
With a smile on his face, Li Yunze stepped forward and took Zhu Gaosui in his arms towards the tent. "I have something to tell you. Your Majesty has given you an imperial edict."
Zhu Gaosui vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out for a moment, and was pulled into the Chinese army's tent in a daze.
When they arrived at the tent, Li Yunze was chatting away and did not mention serious matters at all.
By the time Zhu Gaosui finally came to his senses and none of the generals who came with Li Yunze came to the tent, it was already too late.
The generals quickly returned to their camps to regain control of their troops, and then led their troops to directly surround the tent.
"You want to rebel?!" Seeing many soldiers breaking into the tent, Zhu Gaosui immediately slammed the table and shouted angrily.
"Third uncle." Li Yunze wiped the corners of his eyes, "His Majesty passed away."
Zhu Gaosui was petrified on the spot.
Many people knew that the old man was unwell.
He had even made secret arrangements with Zhu Gaoxu before. Prepare to wait until the old man is dying, directly seize the military power and then issue an edict.
But I never expected that the old man would leave so fast!
"It's impossible, I don't believe it!"
"All generals are witnesses." Li Yunze signaled to the many generals who entered the Chinese army's tent, and then said sincerely to Zhu Gaosui, "Your Majesty has handed over the general power to me."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Zhu Gaosui roared.
In fact, we can know from the actions of so many generals that what Li Yunze said is true.
Without the help of the old man, how could these arrogant warriors listen to a young boy?
But he was unwilling to accept this reality. "Where's the second child!"
"Second uncle is following the British father-in-law to make arrangements for the funeral. He will be back in a while." Li Yunze looked at Zhu Gaosui with a nonchalant expression. "Third uncle, you have worked hard on this expedition. Sir, please rest. All the troops and horses will be left by you for the time being." I'm in charge."ŴŴŴ.BiQuGe.Biz
"Take away my military power? What a dream!" Zhu Gaosui gritted his teeth and glared at Li Yunze, "You are rebelling, you are rebelling!"
Li Yunze sighed and shook his head, signaling to the generals, "Send Uncle Third to rest."
The generals swarmed up, carried Zhu Gaosui and headed for the outer perimeter.
"Boy, you are so cruel! You are so cruel!" Zhu Gaosui screamed as loud as he could after he was carried out.
The generals praised in their hearts, if the grandson hadn't been ruthless enough to strike when it was time to strike, we wouldn't have been so obedient and supportive of him.
He does not hesitate to arrest the most direct threat first, this is the real kind of His Majesty.
After arranging many matters, Li Yunze turned around and sat in the middle seat, "Send a message to Shuntian Mansion."
One of the two best emperors of the Ming Dynasty left, leaving behind a powerful Central Plains dynasty.
If this dynasty can stick to Zhu Di's pace, unswervingly support maritime trade, and keep going north to attack nomadic tribes, it may not be able to support it until the Industrial Revolution.
It's a pity that the greedy turban and the endless emergence of weird emperors completely destroyed the Ming Dynasty.
Li Yunze sat in the big tent, feeling extremely calm.
He had nothing else to think about. His only wish was to inherit Zhu Di's career and make Ming Dynasty truly an emperor instead of being ruined at the hands of many weirdos.
Caressing the Yongle Sword in his hand, he held the hilt and slowly pulled out the sword.
The sword body, like a puddle of autumn water, carries an indescribable sense of beauty.
"There are internal and external troubles, natural and man-made disasters. In the final analysis, it's not because the turbans are too greedy."
"We are jealous of the huge profits from sea trade. Because we can't get a share of the benefits, we will directly abolish the most powerful fleet in the world. In order to be able to control the benefits of sea trade forever, we will even burn the blueprints."
"The tax revenue of more than 30 million taels during the Yongle period was only 4 million taels after two hundred years! It's really shameless."
"In order to fight for power, several emperors were killed. The cabinet spoke louder than the emperor."
"Students don't have to pay taxes, and I don't know which genius came up with it. Obviously Lao Zhu said that it can be partially deducted, but this really can make a big hole out of a crack."
"For money, you can sell weapons and food to foreigners, and betray all kinds of information. For money, you can force the people to lose their place, and then pretend to come forward to provide relief."
"..."
I have seen more and experienced more. Li Yunze naturally knows a lot.
The foreshadowing of the demise of the Ming Dynasty began from the time of Zhu Gaochi.
Without the suppression of the two generations of horse emperors Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, the turbans immediately became active.
Zheng He's voyages to the West were interrupted because of Zhu Gaochi's handiwork.
What Li Yunze has to do is to step back on them all!
I have already made a calculation in my heart, and waiting for the time to come is bound to sweep the entire army.
"Wait." Taking back the Yongle Sword, Li Yunze stood up and left the tent, standing outside and looking up at the sky.
Under the night sky, the Milky Way is dotted with stars and is so bright and colorful. "This time I will dig up all your graves!"
When Zhang Fu escorted Zhu Di's coffin back to the camp, Li Yunze ordered his troops to return to the court without any hesitation.
This expedition to Mobei achieved remarkable results.
The Alutai tribe, which had repeatedly harassed the Ming Dynasty, was completely destroyed.
But Ming Dynasty brought in an emperor for this purpose, which cast a haze over the victory.
Hundreds of thousands of troops and an even larger number of civilians returned southward, finally returning to the border before the autumn harvest.
News of Zhu Di's death reached the capital, and the civil servants immediately supported the crown prince Zhu Gaochi to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.
Yang Rong, who had been imprisoned by the Jinyi Guards before, was immediately released and worshiped as the Crown Prince's Young Master, a bachelor of Jinshen Palace and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry.
The person who greets Li Yunze at the border right now is Yang Rong.
First, he went to cry in front of Zhu Di's coffin, and then Yang Rong went directly to Li Yunze.
"Your Majesty has decreed that His Highness should be crowned Crown Prince."
Yang Rong had also seen the market, but when he walked into the Chinese army's tent and saw Li Yunze sitting on a chair wearing armor and holding a Yongle sword, he was still in a trance.
It was like seeing Emperor Yongle when he was still young.
There were hundreds of generals on both sides, all wearing swords and looking at Yang Rong indifferently.
Such a solemn atmosphere made him feel a little embarrassed.
After all, it is indeed unjustifiable to ascend the throne without receiving the imperial edict.
Li Yunze, who was holding the Yongle Sword with his hand, looked at Yang Rong calmly: "What else?"
The eyes of the surrounding generals became more and more unkind. Yang Rong could only bite the bullet and hand over his hand, "Prince, please hand over the Emperor's Seal and Tiger Talisman."
This is the main purpose of his coming, to take away military power.
"Hey."
Li Yunze laughed mockingly, leaned forward and softly uttered two words.
"No!"
