In Wuying Palace.
Zhu Di looked at Yang Xuan and didn't believe what he said.
And Yang Xuan looked at Zhu Di without any hesitation.
The two of them just stared at each other.
In the end, Zhu Di was the first to admit defeat.
"That's right, Jianwen is dead!" He said, as if he was echoing Yang Xuan's words, or talking to himself.
"That's right, everyone is dead, what are you still thinking about?"
"What's more, you still hold Taizu's secret decree. How can anyone deny your legitimacy?"
Yang Xuan said angrily.
He knew what Zhu Di was worried about.
It's just that he is afraid that Zhu Yunwen will rebel in the future if he is not dead.
Of course he is not afraid while alive, but what if he dies?
Zhu Yunwen is younger after all.
In fact, according to what Yang Xuan was thinking, Zhu Di was just worried.
He also didn’t want to think about how he could bring Zhu Yunwen to power again after he united with so many people.
One battle of Jingnan is enough.
After listening to Yang Xuan's words, Zhu Di also felt quietly relieved.
Yes, with Taizu's secret intention, his ascension to the throne is not usurping the throne.
He smiled and shook his head, feeling that he was too worried.
After regaining his composure, he looked at Yang Xuan again, pointed at the thick stack of papers on the imperial case, and said, "You used to assist your eldest brother in handling government affairs, and then you led the cabinet to assist your father in handling government affairs."
“Has more experience than I do.”
"These excerpts are all from Jianwen Yichao. Look at what's wrong with them."
"Then deal with it."
"I've done the job, so why are you going?" Yang Xuan couldn't help but ask.
"Of course I have my own things to do." Zhu Di said.
He really didn't want to face those excerpts that were filled with nonsense.
This was torture for him.
If he had to choose between going to the battlefield and facing these setbacks, he would definitely choose to go to the battlefield.
"But you are the future emperor. If you don't read these excerpts, how can you understand the events of Jianwen's dynasty?" Yang Xuan said.
"After you read it, if you have any questions, just tell me directly." Zhu Di said, his eyes full of trust in Yang Xuan.
"Then you have to hurry up and come back as soon as you're done."
"This is not my job!"
"knew!"
Zhu Di waved his hand and walked out of Wuying Hall.
Then he stretched and looked at the blue sky. Somehow, he was in a particularly beautiful mood at the moment.
At this moment, in Wuying Palace.
Yang Xuan looked at the table full of foldables and murmured in a low voice: "He hasn't even ascended the throne yet, and he's already starting to order people around!"
But as Yang Xuan opened the book and read it for a while, he understood why Zhu Di asked him to do these things.
Zhu Yunwen advocated Confucianism and gave preferential treatment to literati. After he succeeded to the throne, the style of the poems submitted by his officials was completely opposite to that of the Hongwu period.
During the Hongwu period, Lao Zhu's request was that no rhetoric was allowed, and the excerpts must be concise and to the point, using vernacular as much as possible so that people could understand them at a glance.
After Zhu Yunwen came to power, the ministers did what he wanted.
The booklet is full of gorgeous rhetoric, which not only seems laborious, but also fails to get to the point for a long time.
It's no wonder that Zhu Di threw so many discounts to Yang Xuan and ran away.
If it were Lao Zhu, he would also have to scold his mother!
"Damn, Fourth Zhu, Old Fourth Zhu, you are so tricked!" Yang Xuan cursed in his heart.
He had no choice but to be patient and continue to look.
…
the other side.
After Zhu Di left the palace, he went straight to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
Now that Tie Xuan and others have surrendered, he must go and see for himself no matter what.
At the same time, he personally took the person out of the prison.
"Open the cell door!"
Zhu Di said to the jailer.
"yes."
Bang!
The cell door opened and Zhu Di stepped in.
Seeing the person coming, Tie Xuan immediately got off the bed and saluted.
"The sinful minister Tie Xuan, please see His Highness the King of Yan!"
"Hey, Dingshi, please get up quickly!" Zhu Di stepped forward and helped Tie Xuan up, keeping his posture very low.
"Your Highness, I have offended many guilty ministers in the past!" Seeing Zhu Di being such a courteous and virtuous corporal, Tie Xuan felt doubly guilty.
"Let bygones be bygones, and you don't have to feel guilty."
"I also understand you, you are just fulfilling your duties!"
"What Ming Dynasty needs is ministers like you!"
Although he almost fell into Tie Xuan's hands in the past, which made Zhu Di very angry.
I wish I could tear him into pieces.
But...he is not a person dominated by emotions.
He is very aware of Tie Hyun's talents, and he has the best say in this aspect.
Zhu Di took Tang Taizong Li Shimin as an example and wanted to be Taizong of the Ming Dynasty.
Since Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty could tolerate Wei Zheng who repeatedly advised Li Jiancheng to kill him.
Then Zhu Di can also tolerate Tie Xuan.
Even Sheng Yong and others can tolerate it.
As long as they are still willing to serve the Ming Dynasty.
Hearing Zhu Di's words, Tie Xuan was very moved.
"If Your Highness will not give up, Tie Xuan is willing to devote his whole life to the Ming Dynasty."
Although he did not express his loyalty to him outright, Zhu Di was very satisfied with Tie Xuan's attitude.
"good."
"Nowadays, there are many things in the DPRK, and this is the time when talents are needed." Zhu Di said.
Then, Zhu Di met Sheng Yong, Qu Neng and others.
Take them out of prison personally.
He also told them that he had high hopes for them and was about to entrust them with important tasks.
Several people felt Zhu Di's trust and attention to them, and they all expressed that they would devote themselves to the Ming Dynasty in the future.
After this performance, Zhu Di successfully conquered them.
This trick may not be very effective in the workplace of later generations, but people in this era will fall in love with this trick.
…
Time came to June in a blink of an eye.
The two brothers Xu Huizu, who went to Peiping to pick up Xu Miaoyun, Zhu Gaochi and others, were also about to return to the capital.
Zhu Di personally led people to greet him outside the city, and Yang Xuan was among them.
He was very excited and missed his wife very much.
After all, since the beginning of Jingnan, the two of them have been spending less time together and more time apart.
Fortunately, everything is over.
From now on, the couple will never be separated again.
The two brothers Xu Huizu were riding on horseback and saw Zhu Di and others waiting out of the city from a distance.
"Sister, we have arrived in the capital, and His Highness King Yan is leading all the officials to greet you outside the city!"
Xu Zengshou drove his horse to Xu Miaoyun's carriage and said.
Hearing this, Xu Miaoyun opened the curtains and saw the majestic city wall at a glance.
There was nostalgia in her eyes.
I grew up here as a child, but when I became an adult, I and my husband moved thousands of miles away to Peiping, leaving... for twenty years.
Now that I'm back again, my old friends are no longer there, things have changed and people have changed.
In the past twenty years, apart from her parents and relatives, the only thing that made her miss the capital was the thin figure who had followed her father back.
"Jinling, I'm back!"
She thought softly in her mind.
Then he lowered the curtains and said, "Let's go there quickly, don't keep His Highness and the others waiting too long!"
"I know, sister!"
