To be fair, although Zhu Di does not dare to mention the so-called "Emperor Yongle" in front of Lao Zhu now, for fear of touching some of Lao Zhu's nerves. But in fact, deep down in his heart, he still felt extremely proud of the great achievements he had made in history.
Eight hundred men raised an army and conquered the country; chased the North and swept the Mongolian desert several times; with great martial arts achievements, he was the only emperor in history to enshrine the wolf as a vassal; he made seven voyages to the West and brought many nations to come to the dynasty; he compiled the Yongle Grand Ceremony, which can serve as a foundation for the Ming Dynasty. The pinnacle of civility. This halo is enough to make "Emperor Yongle" one of the top heroes in China's thousand-year history.
Although the reason why he was so desperate in history, Xiao Zhu Di can probably guess: Who can't face the irony of history? He has fought for his country all his life. He has worked hard all his life. He just wants to tell the people of the world that the reason why he, Zhu Di, raised an army to quell Jingnan is for the sake of this great world!
He, Zhu Di, did nothing wrong, he does not admit this account!
Even if he was beaten to the eighteenth level of hell, he could still stand up tall and tell his father and eldest brother that he, Zhu Di, was not a bastard and he would not admit it!
After constantly secretly questioning Zhu Su about the deeds of Emperor Yongle, deep in the heart of little Zhu Di, in addition to the back of his father Zhu Yuanzhang, another tall and majestic figure named "Emperor Yongle" Zhu Di had quietly appeared. .
China has had many heroes for thousands of years, but I, Zhu Di, only obey these two!
Although there is now a high probability that there will be no more troubles with Jingnan, little Zhu Di has always been fascinated by knowing such Emperor Yongle. The reason why he studied and practiced crazily and determined to continuously conquer the west for the Ming Dynasty was because he was tracing the back of himself in history.
However, now, a figure who was originally only heard from the fifth brother and was closely related to the "Yongle Emperor" he admired appeared. Not just in the story, but actually in front of you.
Who is Tie Hyun? The Minister of War of the Jianwen Dynasty, the Chief Envoy of Shandong, the "City God" of Jinan City, the only person who completely defeated the "Yongle Emperor" and respected and hated him for the rest of his life!
In the second year of Jianwen, Zhu Di, the king of Yan who raised troops to suppress Jinan, surrounded Jinan. Jinan was about to be defeated. Tie Xuan, who was the grain inspector at the time, heard that Jinan was in danger and rushed to Jinan with the broken troops collected along the way to face the invincible Yan army at that time. Wang Jing was in trouble with the army.
Then, Tie Xuan defended Jinan, used these defeated troops to defeat the army, and defeated the Jingnan Army in disgrace!
This can almost be regarded as Zhu Di's only defeat, and he will never have a chance to avenge his shame in his life. In the fourth year of Jianwen's reign, Zhu Di, who was marching south again, did not dare to face Tie Xuan again, and lost the confidence that he could defeat Tie Xuan. The Jingnan army bypassed Jinan and successfully invaded Yingtian. King Yan ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and the world changed hands.
Even so, Tie Xuan still refused to surrender and was eventually captured because he was outnumbered. Zhu Di, who hated Tie Xuan, ordered his men to kill Tie Xuan. Even so, Tie Xuan still showed no fear.
Legend has it that Zhu Di ordered someone to stuff Tie Xuan's meat into his own mouth, and asked him "Do you like it?", but Tie Xuan said, "Why wouldn't you like the meat of a loyal minister and filial son?", which drove him crazy. Tie Xuan's death even contributed to the birth of an idiom, "Iron Bones Zhengzheng"!
Zhu Di, who successfully became emperor, was able to use his supreme imperial power to control everyone in the world. But at that moment, he must have felt a deep sense of powerlessness in this man named Tie Xuan.
"Are you Tie Xuan?" Now, the young fourth prince Zhu Di met Tie Xuan, who was still a child, in advance. Looking at the humble-looking child in front of him, Zhu Di's thoughts were unspeakably complicated. Is he that Tehyun? The only one that "Emperor Yongle" failed to truly conquer, Tie Xuan, whom he hated and respected all his life?
"Back to Your Highness, the common man is Tie Xuan." Little Tie Xuan always walked around Prince Wu's Mansion, and he also met Zhu Di, a prince who had a close relationship with Zhu Su. At this time, he asked with some confusion: "Your Highness, Fourth Highness, have you ever heard of Cao Min?"
When ordinary people come to the palace hall, even if they don't fight, they still have to be submissive. For example, his elder brother Tiezhong, although he was liked by Lao Zhu, still had a reserved look on his face.
But although Tie Xuan was only a young man and not outstanding in appearance, when he arrived in this palace, he was somewhat stable and not weaker than an adult.
"Ahem." Zhu Su saw that Zhu Di was a little embarrassed, so he stood up and took over the conversation. "It was your brother who told us your name just now."
"Tie Xuan, your brother said that all his knowledge came from you? Where did you learn it?"
"Go back to your highness!" Xiao Tiexuan did not dare to be negligent at all when he heard Zhu Su's question. There was even a gleam of reverence in his eyes: "Common people will tell their elder brother what they have earned occasionally and do not dare to teach him knowledge. "
"The father of Cao Min didn't want my brothers and I to continue to be blacksmiths in the new dynasty, so he hired an old gentleman to teach us."
"But Sir, he only taught us how to read. The common people learned the knowledge from the "Elementary Arithmetic" that Your Highness sent to the clerks in the house, as well as from the common people, traffickers and people in the market. After all, Your Highness once said Through experience and application, true knowledge is found in all things in this world..."
What he said was sincere and even a little serious, but Zhu Su, Zhu Di, and even Lao Zhu were all secretly frightened. You must know that Tie Zhong's knowledge is not just a rudimentary knowledge, but his views on some things can even be said to have been mastered. They are much more profound and down-to-earth than those Jinshi who passed the imperial examination.
And this kind of knowledge was actually acquired by an eight-year-old child through his own learning and understanding from all kinds of situations in the world.
"Ahem." Lao Zhu coughed twice, attracting Tie Xuan's attention. He said to Tie Xuan in a pleasant manner: "Tie Xuan, your eldest brother Tie Zhong has done great service for us. He does not accept the reward himself. He only wants us to reward you."
"We see that you are still young, but you are almost the same as our eldest grandson. How about this? I will let you be our eldest grandson's companion, are you willing?"
The famous and unyielding minister Tie Xuan can be said to be one of the Ming Dynasty ministers who is most palatable to Lao Zhu besides Yu Qian. Tie Xuan is loyal and capable, but also knows how to adapt. He is an important minister who can entrust the country to him. Even though the current Tiexuan is still young and cannot be regarded as the same as the future Tiecheng God, his character and conduct are already here. Such a child's future achievements will not be much worse.
Such a famous official seed who can be the humerus must stay with us and cultivate it well!
"Uh!" Zhu Su was speechless. Instead of grabbing Tie Zhong, Lao Zhu now targeted Tie Xuan! Zhu Su immediately said: "Father, you would never change your mind like this. Just now Tie Zhong clearly said that Tie Xuan would be admitted to the Imperial Academy as a student, so why did he change his mind to become a companion to Xiong Ying?"
"Besides, Xiongying hasn't even weaned off her breasts yet, but Tiexuan is already eight years old! How old are they? Do you want Tiexuan to be Xiongying's wet nurse?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? They are only six or seven years apart, so why don't we call them almost the same?" Lao Zhu puffed his beard and glared. If his obsession to snatch the Iron Bell was only five points, then his obsession to snatch Tie Xuan was a full 120,000 points. "If we let him study with our eldest grandson, will he be worse than your Imperial College?"
"I'm not telling you that all the students in your Imperial College are running out! Could it be that you use an eight-year-old boy like Tie Xuan to make up the numbers? Let me tell you, following a lazy boy like you who has no place in the world, that's really It’s really called misleading people!”
