Besides, the battle for the throne and changing the crown prince are very mysterious things.
Judging from the historical experience that Zhu Qiyu has mastered, the ministers did not mind replacing Zhu Jianshen.
In the history of Jingtai, when the power and tactics were taken to the extreme, not a single minister stood up to oppose the change of crown prince. This shows the support of the people.
Zhu Qiyu thought for a long time and felt that the reason was that his throne was supported by ministers, but the ministers did not really support the prince Zhu Jianshen, but the Queen Mother insisted on making Zhu Jianshen the prince first, and then she was willing to do so Yi Zhi established himself as emperor.
Therefore, in the face of national crisis, the ministers had to make compromises with the Queen Mother in order to help themselves ascend the throne.
In short, the ministers were reluctant to make Zhu Jianshen the prince.
Only if there is a direct descendant can one establish a direct descendant, but only if there is no direct descendant can one establish a long-term relationship.
Now the Supreme Emperor is twenty-three years old and the Emperor is twenty-two years old. It is entirely possible for both of them to have legitimate children in the future.
Neither the Supreme Emperor's faction nor the Emperor's faction may be willing to wholeheartedly support a bastard.
Therefore, as long as there is no unexpected event like a restoration, neither the emperor's eldest concubine Zhu Jianshen nor the emperor's eldest concubine Zhu Jianji are loyal objects that suit the ministers' wishes.
On the road to giving birth to a legitimate son, Zhu Qiyu already had an absolute advantage.
Now Zhu Qizhen went to the Western Regions, and following him first, he was chased by the 60,000 troops of Tuotuo Buhua and Alazhiyuan and fled in all directions.
All the women sent to him before were thrown away in Datong. Now Zhu Qizhen has no hope of sleeping with a man, let alone having a legitimate son.
Qian has been the queen for eight years, but has not given birth to a son or a daughter. Fertility has never been proven before, let alone now that one eye is blind and one leg is lame. Zhu Qizhen is still very concerned about appearance, so even if he comes back from hunting in the northwest, it will be difficult for him to have a legitimate son with Qian.
As for the Zhou family, although she was forcibly promoted to queen by Zhu Qiyu, the ministers did not recognize her and did not regard her son Zhu Jianshen as his legitimate son.
Zhu Qiyu, on the other hand, is much more chic. His little princess has not yet grown hair. She is young and in good health, so she can give birth slowly.
As long as Totuo Buhua and Alazhiyuan's 60,000 troops do not rebel, I can let Zhu Qizhen come back whenever I want.
If a legitimate son is born the year after tomorrow, he will go and receive him the year after that; if a legitimate son is born the year after tomorrow, he will go and receive him the year after that.
As for next year, don't even think about it. It's impossible to let Zhu Qizhen come back next year. Even if it doesn't work out, we have to wait until the end of the first imperial examination of the Jingtai Dynasty.
December 21st, early morning.
Lin Xiangyu got up early in the morning and followed the eldest princess of Yongjia and Wu Dinghou to pay homage to the ancestral hall and officially completed the entire family recognition ceremony.
Then Zhu Qiyu took Lin Xiangyu to the Daning Dusi New Yamen next door. This was originally Wang Zhen's family temple: Chici Zhihua Temple.
That is the name given to the temple by Zhu Qizhen himself.
Historically, after the restoration of Zhuqi Town, an ancestral temple was built to worship Wang Zhen. The ancestral hall was built in the backyard of Zhihua Temple. Moreover, the ancestral hall was named Jingzhong Temple by Zhu Qizhen.
The most ridiculous thing is that the ministers didn't care. Until the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the ministers didn't care.
It was not until three hundred years later that the "Old Man Shiquan" with a sense of justice ordered the destruction of this ancestral hall.
Zhu Qiyu walked around the temple and couldn't help but sigh at the people in the capital who were obsessed with Buddha. The people couldn't even fill their stomachs, but these people built a shabby temple but went out of their way to live extravagantly.
I don’t know where the compassion of the Buddha they say is reflected.
Fortunately, the Buddhist affairs were unclear, and Zhu Qiyu didn't want to get too entangled, so he took his princess and had a feast with the generals of Daning Dusi.
Previously, Daning Dusi bet on Zhu Qiyu and tried his best to risk his life for the emperor with his head in his belt. Now that the overall situation has been decided, it’s time to reap the rewards.
Zhu Qiyu made a lot of promises of rewards during the banquet, and Count Gu Guang gave six of them, finally coaxing the generals of Daning Dusi into high spirits.
Everyone was satisfied, and the next step was to wait patiently for the princess to give birth to a legitimate son, and to completely consolidate the fruits of Daning Dusi's labor.
Zhu Qiyu became more and more happy today as he talked. He drank a little too much, stayed at the table for an hour, and then went back to Wuding Hou Mansion to sleep in a daze, leaving only the generals to continue feasting.
No words for two days. On the afternoon of December 23, Zhu Qiyu, who had been relaxing for three days, returned to the palace with his concubines.
Not long after returning to the mansion, the family was still chatting in the concubine's room, and the British Duke Zhang Zhong went back and forth to report the sacrifice to Queen Hu.
The concubine also wanted to hear it, so she ordered someone to directly invite Zhang Zhong over.
The story of General Zhang Zhong's trip to Xishan, the situation of Queen Hu's tomb, and the sacrificial process were explained exactly.
Hearing that the concubine couldn't help but sigh, the majestic wife, first wife, and true queen was finally buried as a concubine, and there was no one to offer sacrifices after her death.
After sending Zhang Zhong away, the concubine smiled bitterly at Lin Xiangyu and said: "Look, without a son, the ending will be so miserable. I am not praising my son, but Qi Yu is willing to kowtow to a Marquis of Wuding who is only a few years older than him for you, which shows that he has a lot of love for you." You are sincere.
My only hope is that you and your wife can live a good life in the future, and don't be like the Queen Mother Sun, who first took care of her husband until he died young and unknown; then he taught his son so badly that he almost brought down the entire Ming Dynasty. All given away. "
Lin Xiangyu quickly replied: "Don't worry, mother and concubine, my daughter-in-law understands the principle of 'people treat me as a national scholar, and I will repay others as a national scholar'. If her husband treats her so well, my daughter-in-law is willing to die for her husband."
The concubine smiled with satisfaction: "It's enough for you to have this heart. None of us need to die. We all live well and watch the bad guys die together, that will relieve our anger."
Okay, you and Qi Yu go back to your room to cultivate your relationship. The most important thing right now is to have children comfortably and comfortably. You don’t need to worry about the affairs in the house. I will personally arrange to receive the King of Soochow County tomorrow. "
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he quickly took his little princess back to the room to try new tricks. He was speechless all night.
December 24th, early morning.
Zhu Qiyu dispatched 60,000 personal troops, extending from Fengtian Hall in the Forbidden City to twenty miles outside Xizhimen.
This was not only to welcome King Dongwu, the only remaining legitimate son of Emperor Jianwen, but also to hold a military parade in disguise. Let the civil and military officials of the dynasty, especially the civil servants and generals who came to Beijing from other places, and the royal family and nobles, have a good experience of the majesty of the emperor's personal army.
Zhu Qiyu kept his posture very low, and at dawn, he had already arrived twenty miles outside the city by chariot.
An hour later, the civil and military ministers arrived one after another.
Zhu Qiyu ordered the cabinet, together with the Supervisor of Ceremonies, to check the personnel who should be present according to the roster.
The result was unexpected. Except for King Min, who was very old and senior and had been exempted from coming by Zhu Qiyu, all the others were present.
Even Prince Xiang, who hated Zhu Qiyu extremely in his heart, as well as Dingxi Marquis Jiang Yi, who was seriously ill but had just been forced to seize the title by Zhu Qiyu, Empress Dowager Sun's father, Huichang Marquis Sun Zhong, and Empress Dowager Sun's brothers Sun Shaozong, Sun Xuzong, and Sun Chunzong, were all present.
