"Brother, you are overly praised." Zhu Gaojie said helplessly.
"Haha, you have to change your modesty. If you are too modest, it will make people think you are cowardly." The prince smiled.
Zhu Gaojie thought to himself that you are still busy teaching here. Who can be more pretentious than your prince?
"Zhanji, why don't you call someone?" The prince patted Zhu Zhanji's hair twice.
The young emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji politely bowed his hand to Zhu Gaojie: "Hello, fourth uncle."
"Hey." Zhu Gaojie took out a red envelope from his sleeve and handed it to the prince, "I didn't bring anything with me when I went out. Brother, please keep it for the child first."
Zhu Zhanji blinked and thought, shouldn't this red envelope be given to me?
The prince collected the red envelope calmly and said righteously: "Hey! What are you doing, Fourth? We are all a family, how can we be embarrassed!"
Zhu Gaojie:...
Sorry, don't put the red envelope in your pocket!
…
Qianqing Palace
Zhu Di pondered for a long time and finally chose to imitate the [Emperor] identity of "Zhu Qizhen".
To be honest, Zhu Di really didn't want to imitate the life of this evil beast, and he got angry just looking at it.
But unfortunately, if he does not simulate Zhu Qizhen's life, he will not be able to unlock the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty. This is something that cannot be circumvented.
[Choose simulation, Zhu Qizhen’s emperor’s life. 】
[In the second year of Xuande, you were born. You were the eldest son of Concubine Sun for Emperor Xuande Zhu Zhanji. 】
[The following year, in February of the third year of Xuande, the emperor announced a news that shocked the court. 】
[The reason why the emperor wants to depose his queen is that Queen Hu did not bear him a son. There are three so-called unfilial piety, the worst is not having an offspring, but your biological mother, Concubine Sun, gave birth to his eldest son. 】
[The first person to object was Empress Dowager Zhang: Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor and the queen have always been a loving couple, setting an example for the world. You dare to set such a precedent, or are you not a descendant of my Zhu family? 】
[The ministers also objected. Yang Shiqi, the chief minister of the cabinet, said: The queen is benevolent and virtuous, and has never made any mistakes. Besides, you are still very young. Your son will have everything. The Queen cannot be deposed just because Concubine Sun gave birth to a son. This is unjustifiable. 】
[However, Xuande Emperor Zhu Zhanji was determined and forcefully deposed Empress Hu, so the world heard about it and pity her, of course Empress Sun and you are not included. 】
[About three years have passed like this. This day, the emperor hugged you on his knee and asked: "Son, after you become the emperor, can you make the world peaceful?"]
[You raised your little face and said in a sweet voice, "Yes!"]
[The emperor was overjoyed and asked: "If anyone is unconvinced, do you dare to lead the army to beat them into submission?"]
[You clenched your little fist and said, "Dare!"]
[Zhu Zhanji stood up immediately and placed you on the dragon chair. All the ministers knelt down and shouted long live! 】
At the same time, Zhu Di also clenched his fists: How dare you!
Facts have proved that Zhu Qizhen did not lie. Later, he actually personally commanded hundreds of thousands of troops and led a personal expedition.
It's just that the result was different from what Xuande Emperor Zhu Zhanji had imagined. Zhu Qizhen directly ruined half of the Ming Dynasty's national destiny.
[You ascended the throne at the age of nine, and the young master is suspicious of the country. However, Emperor Xuande had already made all preparations for your accession to the throne before his death. 】
[Zhu Zhanji has chosen five ministers who care about life for you, namely: Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Yang Pu, Hu Bi, and Zhang Fu. 】
[Wen has Sanyang, Wu has Zhang Fu, and Hu is here to do shady things for you. With the help of these five influential figures, Zhu Zhanji died peacefully. 】
[In the beginning, everything was as Zhu Zhanji had deduced. With the assistance of a group of famous ministers, even a dog could lead the Ming Dynasty to prosperity. Under the protection of the Empress Dowager Zhang, the "Three Yangs" were reused to stabilize border defenses, rectify officialdom, develop the economy, suppress the influence of eunuchs, strictly prohibit relatives from intervening in politics, and continued the stability and prosperity of the "Government of Wenxuan". At this time, the Ming Dynasty The national power is at its peak and its prestige spreads far and wide. 】
[However, after the death of Empress Dowager Zhang and "San Yang" one after another, you became arrogant and re-appointed the eunuch Wang Zhen, calling him sir, and maintained exclusive power in the court for eight years. Under his influence, the ministers They flocked to him like ducks, vying to cling to him, and everyone called him "father". 】
[At this time, the eunuch Wang Zhen already had everything. He had great power and great wealth. Although it brought disaster to the country and the people, fortunately, the Ming Dynasty was still strong and could withstand the traitor Huo Huo. However, at this time, Wang Zhen actually had a bold idea, and it was this idea that made Daming unable to recover. 】
[After possessing everything except the throne, the eunuch Wang Zhen had a new goal in life: to make achievements and leave his name in history, just like the "national surname" Zheng He, he wanted to be a eunuch with military merit. 】
Zhu Di:?
How could this dead eunuch dare to have such a bold idea?
Wait, why did eunuchs cause harm to the country in the Ming Dynasty?
During the reign of Emperor Taizu Gao, eunuchs were suppressed. During the reign of Zhu Di and Yongle, although Zheng He was a hexagonal warrior, the eunuchs were slightly softened, but eunuchs were still strictly prohibited from intervening in politics.
Even the great eunuch Tang Cheng, who had considerable seniority and had grown up with the prince, the king of Han, the king of Zhao, and the king of Qi, only had a high status but did not have much authority.
Why did this situation begin to appear when we arrived in Zhuqi Town?
[You are a child who grew up in a greenhouse. You have neither the cruelty and forbearance of fighting for power nor the danger of crowding out. You are an imaginary young man who has never experienced any hardship. Everything is arranged by the eunuch Wang Zhen. This This laid the foundation for the subsequent tragedy. 】
[You are such a "hothouse flower". After becoming the emperor at the age of eight, you have never had the opportunity to display your ambitions. After taking office, you are ambitious and want to have a new look. First of all, you are ready to restart the "Western voyages" and continue They sent troops to the north three times and conquered the south three times, but with little success. These greatly reduced the national power and prestige of the Ming Dynasty. 】
[Gao Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang marched north to expel the Tartars and established the Central Plains. Emperor Wen Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing during his northern expedition, and the emperor guarded the country. Those who expel and defend are none other than Mongolia in Mobei. Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty fled back to Mobei, and the Northern Yuan Dynasty was divided into two parts: Oara and Tatar. The Oaras and Tatars competed with each other for supremacy. Due to the patrols of Sanyang and Emperor Xuande, during the Zhengtong period, Wala gradually became stronger, and from time to time it went south to invade the territory of the Ming Dynasty. In particular, Taishi Yexian, the powerful faction in Oara, often defrauded various rewards from the Ming Dynasty in the name of paying tribute. Because the Ming Dynasty was a celestial kingdom, envoys who paid tribute would always be reciprocated with courtesy, regardless of the tribute, and the rewards would be quite generous and distributed on a per-head basis. Under this circumstance, the number of envoys was continuously increased, and finally it reached more than 3,000 people. 】
[At this time, you are still in your early years, and you are a passionate young man with full blood. Faced with such a great opportunity to show off your skills, how can you let it go? Under Wang Zhen's instigation, you decided to go on a personal expedition and improve yourself. own prestige. 】
[The ministers in the court dissuaded you, but you didn’t listen. Firstly, you were following the example of your father, Xuande Emperor Zhu Zhanji, who, at Yang Rong’s suggestion, went on a personal expedition to defeat the King of Han; secondly, you wanted to prove yourself, not to mention the great power of the Ming Dynasty. A mere barbarian, are you afraid of him? 】
[You assemble the Ming Dynasty's 500,000 elites to go to war, let your brother Zhu Qiyu supervise the country, and fight northward in a mighty manner. 】
