After simple greetings, the group entered the capital.
Zhu Di was naturally driving in the same car as Xu Miaoyun.
Zhu Gaochi happily invited Yang Xuan to his car.
He hadn't seen his uncle for several years, and he had many things to say to him.
Yang Xuan chatted with Zhu Gaochi for a while, and then asked him about his views on the future situation of the court.
Yang Xuan was also quite satisfied with Zhu Gaochi's answer.
But now, it's just talk on paper, and the details will depend on future performance.
After entering the city, Yang Xuan knew that Zhu Di's family wanted to have a good reunion, so he did not enter the palace with them and returned to his home early.
The next day, Zhu Di came to visit with his family, and everyone had a good gathering.
After all, after Zhu Di ascends the throne, their family's identity will be completely transformed, and it will be impossible to get together as they are now.
A few days later, an auspicious day.
The coronation ceremony was held.
Zhu Di ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne, changing the reign name to Yongle, and the following year was the first year of Yongle.
Xu Miaoyun was canonized as queen and took charge of Kunning Palace.
None of the three sons have been canonized yet.
After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he restored the laws and other policies of the Lao Zhu period, and all the policies promulgated by Zhu Yunwen were abolished.
This is tantamount to denying Zhu Yunwen's legitimacy.
In addition, Zhu Yunwen's biological mother, Lu, was also sent to guard the mausoleum in front of Zhu Biao's mausoleum.
After that, Zhu Di issued an imperial edict to reduce or reduce taxes and implement a policy of light corvee and low taxes, so that the Ming Dynasty could rest and recuperate.
After all, the Battle of Jingnan caused Ming Dynasty a lot of losses.
And Zhu Di did not let go of Yang Xuan, a tool man. After restoring his title and salary, he also named him the prince's young master.
Then he asked Yang Xuan to take the cabinet to help him handle the government affairs, and also taught the boss Zhu Gaochi.
Although Zhu Di has not established a prince yet, his actions seem to have made a choice.
Some people are happy, while others are anxious.
Yang Xuan returned home from get off work that day.
But they found that the youngest, Zhu Gaoxu, had arrived at some unknown time.
"Uncle Master."
Seeing Yang Xuan, Zhu Gaoxu stood up quickly.
"When did you come, kid?" Yang Xuan walked to the table and asked while pouring himself tea.
"I just came here not long ago." Zhu Gaoxu replied.
"Everyone in the imperial court is very busy now, but you still have time to visit. It seems you are very free!" Yang Xuan picked up the tea cup and drank the tea in one gulp. Yang Xuan turned his eyes to Zhu Gaoxu again.
"No way!" Zhu Gaoxu said.
"Oh! It seems you have something to do with me!" Yang Xuan nodded.
After being pointed out by Yang Xuan, Zhu Gaoxu scratched his head and smiled innocently.
"If you have anything else to do, we'll talk about it after dinner."
"I have been ordered around by your father for a whole day, but I still don't care about my meal."
"Tell your father when you get back. If you do this again, I will go on strike."
Zhu Gaoxu didn't answer, just smiled like that.
"Let's have a drink together?" Yang Xuan asked.
"Okay!" Zhu Gaoxu nodded quickly.
Seeing this, Yang Xuan asked the butler to go down and prepare the food and wine.
After three rounds of wine, the five flavors of food are gone.
Zhu Gaoxu's face turned red, but Yang Xuan acted as if nothing was wrong.
"What do you want to see me for?"
"Say it!"
Yang Xuan put down the wine bowl and said.
"Uncle Master, now my father has ascended the throne, but he has not established a crown prince."
"Do you think I have a chance?" Zhu Gaoxu asked.
He felt that he had a good relationship with his uncle, so he had no scruples when asking this question.
Hearing this, Yang Xuan took a deep look at Zhu Gaoxu.
Then he said: "Your Imperial Grandfather left behind the ancestral teachings and established the position of Crown Prince as the legitimate son. Although you are the legitimate son."
"But he is not the eldest son. Why do you think you can be the prince?"
"Did your father tell you in advance?"
He seemed to ask this last question casually.
However, Zhu Gaoxu was drunk at this moment and did not hear any other meaning.
He immediately raised his voice and said: "During the Battle of Jingnan, he patted me on the shoulder and said to me, 'Your brother is not in good health, you must work harder'."
"Isn't that right?"
Hearing this, Yang Xuan's face looked a little ugly.
Zhu Laosi, Zhu Laosi, you can really do it... Yang Xuan felt a little dissatisfied.
But, with the temperament of the second son, it is okay to lead troops in battles and charge on the battlefield, but not as a prince.
Yang Xuan had to give up this idea, otherwise there would be a fight for the heir in the future.
The relationship between the two brothers is very good, but it is best not to become enemies because of the heir apparent.
So, he said: "When your father said this, he may not have promised to make you the crown prince."
"What is that?" Zhu Gaoxu asked. Although he was drunk, he still had the most basic sense.
"Tell me, is it possible? The meaning of this sentence is: your eldest brother is not in good health, you have to work hard to help your eldest brother and be his right-hand man." Yang Xuan said.
"Is that what you mean?" Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment.
"Yes." Yang Xuan nodded affirmatively.
"I don't believe it. If that's true, why doesn't he tell me clearly?"
"I fought with all my life in the Jingnan battle just for the sake of the crown prince. Tell me this now, no way!"
"I don't agree."
"I don't recognize it!"
Zhu Gaoxu slapped the table, very angry.
He felt that he had been cheated, and he tried his best to show off, but then he was told this?
Who can accept this?
"What table are you photographing?"
"Establishing a direct descendant is the ancestral precept left by your imperial grandfather, and no one can violate it."
"If you don't accept it, go to Xiaoling and talk to your grandfather now."
Yang Xuan also slapped the table and glared at Zhu Gaoxu.
"Why?"
"Why should he be the boss and everything belongs to him?"
Zhu Gaoxu scratched his neck and said.
If Yang Xuan was angry in normal times, he would definitely be afraid.
But at this moment, I am not afraid at all.
"What does this have to do with your eldest brother? Does he have the final say in the position of prince?"
"If you have the ability, ask your grandpa Huang and your father to pound the table!"
"Why are you yelling at me here?"
Suppressed by Yang Xuan's momentum, Zhu Gaoxu's attitude softened.
"Uncle Master, do I really have no chance at all?"
"Yes." Yang Xuan said.
Zhu Gaoxu stopped talking. He drank a large bowl of wine and felt bored after one sip.
It was obvious that he was feeling sad at the moment.
Seeing Zhu Gaoxu's appearance, Yang Xuan also felt a little distressed.
He has been by his side for several years, and he can be regarded as growing up.
He was silent for a while, and said earnestly: "Gao Xu, think about it, your eldest brother has been protecting you since you were a child."
"You should know how he treats you."
"He is just like the original Prince Yiwen. He is friendly to his brothers and is a good big brother."
"And he has good political skills. You don't need to worry about anything when you lead troops to fight outside in the future."
"One of you brothers is a domestic leader, and the other is a foreigner. Isn't it a good thing to leave a good story about brothers, friends, and brothers?"
"Hundreds of years later, when future generations see this period of history, who will not sigh that the Ming Dynasty had a wise king!"
"Think about it!"
