Mount Emei.
Queen Ma came all the way with Prince Zhu Biao, running around non-stop.
"Biao'er, how do you feel about your health? Are you feeling better?"
"Biao'er, wear more clothes, don't freeze."
"Biao'er, come here, I asked the maid to cook you some eight-treasure porridge. Drink some to replenish your body."
Zhu Biao never had to deal with government affairs, let alone face his father who was increasingly suspicious of him. He traveled to the mountains with his mother every day, read and write, and Zhu Biao never felt so relaxed.
Looking at the towering and graceful Emei Mountain, Zhu Biao even secretly hoped that Zhenren Zhou could not solve his illness.
Sometimes he hopes to do whatever he wants in the fief like his other brothers.
But after a while, I felt guilty secretly.
If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. Since you have become the prince, you cannot do things, speak, or even live just for yourself. We must do what we should do so that the tens of millions of people in the Central Plains can live and work in peace and contentment.
As Emei approached, he was still looking at the door quietly. The birthmark on his face turned into a blooming light red lotus. In this Buddhist holy land, it was daunting to look at.
"Master Jing Nian, I'm here to bother you again this time." Queen Ma stepped forward and said.
Jing Nian clasped his hands together and bent slightly: "Amitabha, Jing Nian pays homage to the Queen.
Senior Sister Zhou already knows the purpose of the queen's visit. Let me tell you that the prince's injury is in the place where his soul is. It would be fine if he could rest in Emei for recuperation. However, it is no longer possible to continue to handle official duties every day as before. "
Queen Ma was stunned: "Even Master Zhou is helpless?"
Jing Nian smiled: "Yes, the prince needs to practice my "Emei True Sutra" and my "The Name Cannot Say Physical Refining Technique" to refine his meridians and body in order to solve the problem.
But the prince is already over 20 years old, and his meridians have been established. Even if my Emei secret medicine and experts help you refine your meridians, it will take more than ten years to achieve success. "
Queen Ma frowned and looked at Zhu Biao, who was frowning at the side.
Zhu Biao opened his mouth and almost laughed in his heart. It's not that he doesn't want to do it now, but his body doesn't allow it! However, after years of working under his father, he had already learned to hide his inner emotions.
You must know that Zhu Yuanzhang likes to hold a sword to his neck. Although he knows that his father will not really chop him, it is scary.
"Biao'er, you are recuperating at the foot of Mount Emei. Anyway, your father is full of energy now. He gave birth to a younger brother for you a few days ago, which will just keep him busy for a few more years!" Empress Ma Qiangang said arbitrarily.
Zhu Biao was stunned. He was originally going to make three suggestions, but after hesitating for a moment, he remembered the words of the sages and said that the elders cannot refuse.
"Follow your mother's orders!"
Empress Ma nodded and said angrily: "Just in time, I also miss the fast food in Emei, so I'll take a break and let Chongba go busy in Yingtian alone."
The world said she was gentle, virtuous, generous and decent, but as a woman, she would not like her husband sleeping with other women at night and giving birth to children all the time.
"Master Jingnian, the prince and I are recuperating in your Emei. For specific meals and housing, you must follow the highest standards. We are not short of money!" Ma Xiuying said grandly.
Jing Nian's eyes lit up: "Amitabha, Queen, we in Buddhism don't talk about money, we only talk about fate. Giving more or less incense and money is all based on your heart. Sincerity leads to success."
Queen Ma smiled and said nothing.
After three months.
Yingtian, the imperial city.
Zhu Di followed the chamberlain to Fengtian Hall anxiously.
Logically speaking, if those Tatar tribes came to complain, they would not attract the attention of the father. After all, Ming Dynasty and them had never pissed together.
Moreover, the Ming Dynasty was wrested from the hands of the Tatars. What he did should make his father happy, so why did he let himself come back to issue orders in person?
This is unreasonable!
Is it because he has too many soldiers? It’s not much, less than 50,000.
There was nothing he could do. None of the Tatar tribes had anything to eat. The vast desert and grassland were only so big, so they simply surrendered and entered the city to become his subjects of the Ming Dynasty.
With years of war, the northwest is already short of people, and for his experiments, he needs various materials. Normal ones can be bought, but others can only be mined underground.
He really didn't want to rebel!
"Meet my father!" Zhu Di said respectfully.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his fourth son up and down for a long time.
Before he asked Jin Yiwei to retrieve the information of several of his sons and grandsons, he never expected that the fourth child would be able to do so.
"King Yan, the prince has suffered a stroke, and I am getting old. I no longer have the energy to deal with the increasingly heavy government affairs. I am going to let you come to supervise the country. What do you think?"
Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed: "My son must be so heartbroken that he will die!"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, stepped forward, and gently patted his son on the shoulder: "The prince is sick, so you should encourage him."
Zhu Di's eyes turned red. His father finally saw his efforts and his abilities.
He swore that he would live up to his father's expectations in this life!
In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu (1392), King Yan Zhu Di supervised the country, led the imperial guard of honor, wore dragon robes, and dealt with Ming affairs.
Astronomy, geography, arithmetic, physics and other subjects were added to the scientific examination, which shocked the world.
In the 30th year of Hongwu's reign, Japanese pirates invaded the border, and the steel battleship Daming was launched. Ten islands were built in one day. The Japanese were defeated directly and became vassals and paid tribute.
The following year, under the auspices of Minister of Agriculture and Science Yuan Lao, the production of hybrid rice and other grains increased significantly, and the people of Ming Dynasty were expected to completely get rid of the threat of hunger.
In the thirty-fifth year of Hongwu, Ming caravans traveled all over the world, spreading ideas, teaching, and trading necessary materials.
In the same year, Prince Zhu Biao recovered from health. At the court meeting, he made an impassioned speech, acknowledged his own shortcomings, and took the initiative to abdicate the throne of the crown prince.
Zhu Yuanzhang agreed.
In the same month, Zhu Gaochi, the eldest son of King Yan, went to Mount Emei for recuperation. Zhu Di patted his second son Zhu Gaoxu on the shoulder and said affectionately: "The eldest son is often sick, so you should encourage him."
Later, Zhu Gaoxu was assigned to take charge of overseas education, commerce, and diplomatic affairs, combining work and rest, and exercising his body and abilities.
In the 60th year of Hongwu's reign, mechanized and industrial machines such as railways, airplanes, radios, and satellites began to be installed on a large scale.
In the sixty-fifth year of Hongwu, the population of the Ming Dynasty reached 60 million, and all ethnic groups were equal. Under the strong voluntary demands of the grassland ethnic groups, the territory once occupied by the Yuan Dynasty was recovered.
The "Shan Hai Jing Zhong Shan Jing" records: Yu said: "The east and west of heaven and earth are twenty-eight thousand miles, and the north and south are twenty-six thousand miles;
The Book of Famous Mountains in the World: Five thousand three hundred and seventy mountains, sixty-four thousand and sixty-four miles away, are the place of residence; the mountain that produces water is eight thousand miles away; the one that receives water is eight thousand miles away; it is said that there are five mountains: the mountain that produces copper Four hundred and sixty-seven; Three thousand six hundred and ninety-nine from the mountain of iron; this division of heaven and earth is sealed in Taishan and Zen in Liangfu. The gains and losses of the seventy-two families are all included here. It is for national use. Those who are capable have more than enough, but those who are clumsy are not enough. The hub of the tree is where spears and spears are fired, and where swords and swords are struck."
From what has been said above, we know that it stretches from the North Pole in the north, to the Salt Sea in the west, to the Islands in the south, and to Kangaroo Island in the east. It has been the land owned by China since ancient times and is an integral part of the Ming Dynasty.
Japanese country? It is now called Xiaori County.
In the 80th year of Hongwu's reign, Ming astronauts entered the starry sky for the first time.
Zhu Di looked old and stopped at the Ming Dynasty Library.
The top rows of books have yellowing paper and mottled text, but the knowledge above still guides the scientific community of Ming Dynasty forward.
Over the years, they seem to be just students babbling, chasing after the footsteps of some pioneer.
Science and knowledge are there, they are just discoverers and summarizers.
But for many years, every pioneer has disappeared. Could it be that like Zhenren Zhang, he has ascended to heaven and gone?
Zhu Di looked up into space through the window.
Manpower sometimes runs out, and sooner or later he will catch up, and then he will tell her personally.
Master Zhou, I’m here too!
Hongwu eighty-five years.
Daming Hall, Royal Garden of the Harem.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was already 115 years old, was full of energy. Regardless of his appearance, he was lying on the stone table, eating duck blood soup and freshly baked sesame cakes.
Seeing Empress Ma coming, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly shouted: "Sister, come on, this soup is so delicious! Take a few bites."
Empress Ma had been pampered in these years, and went to Emei Health Resort to rest for a month or two from time to time. She looked dignified, and after hearing this, she slowly sat down opposite Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Okay, I'll take a few bites too."
"Huhuhu~" Like a hungry dog chewing food, Zhu Yuanzhang patted his belly comfortably after eating.
"Oh, I'm used to eating delicacies from the mountains and the sea. It's really good to try these whole grains once in a while."
Queen Ma laughed and said, "Are you feeling better now?"
Although he had asked Zhu Di to supervise the country in recent years, Zhu Yuanzhang was still worried, for fear that the people of Ming Dynasty would suffer again.
As a result, Zhu Di seemed to be possessed by a god, and in just over eighty years, he brought the Ming Dynasty to a prosperous age unprecedented in China. There should be no such thing in the future, because the earth is so big.
Looking at it this way, he felt like he was a little stupid.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and sighed: "Much better!"
"Sister, do you still remember the promise I made to you when I got married?" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked.
Queen Ma looked at her sweetheart intently: "Of course, at that time you said you would build me a Chaotian Palace, live in the biggest house, and live the best life in the world.
Jonghachi, you have done it now. "
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Yes, I did it, good!"
After hesitating for a while, he suddenly raised his head: "Sister, I will officially announce my abdication tomorrow and let the fourth child take over. Do you have any objections?"
Empress Ma smiled: "What can I say? The fourth child has done such a good job and is now loved and respected by the people. Didn't you listen to what the scholars outside the palace said?
He is now the emperor of eternity! "
"Humph, the fourth child is the emperor of eternity, so who am I?" Zhu Yuanzhang said depressedly.
"You are the father of the Eternal Emperor! My biological father!" Empress Ma said with a smile.
"Hahaha~"
"Sister, let's go out for a walk later. Let me see how big the land of Ming Dynasty is now and how good the people are living. There are also mountains, rivers, deserts and seas. Let's go and see them all."
"Wherever you go, I will go."
"Hahaha~ Okay! By the way, where is Biao'er? Do you want to take him with you?"
"He is now a literature teacher and takes the children to learn about Chinese culture every day. I don't know how happy I would be if I didn't play with him!"
"That's okay. This kid announced his abdication of the crown prince position directly at the court meeting that year. I was shocked. I thought it was the fourth son who forced me to do so." Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily.
"Haha~" Queen Ma laughed out loud.
In these years, apart from Zhenren Zhou from Emei, the fourth child should be one of the few who has made Chongba miserable, but now he has nothing to do but show off to Tang He and the others that he has given birth to such a powerful son.
There are some people who are no longer tough all over, but their mouths also need to be tough.
…
In the eighty-sixth year of Hongwu, Zhu Di ascended the throne as emperor, with the reign name Yongle.
Although the Yongle era name was once used by a small anti-thief force, Fang La, Zhu Di didn't care, as long as he liked it.
The pen of history is like iron. People thousands of years from now will not care that the Yongle era name has been used before.
All we will know and remember is that he was the first man to bring human civilization on earth into unification, and he was also the first emperor to lead human civilization into the starry sky and the sea of stars.
Emperor Yongle!
…
In autumn, Fengtian Hall.
The historian and his grandson Zhu Zhanji knelt on the ground together, not daring to raise their heads.
Zhu Di sat on the dragon chair with a broad sword and a golden horse, looking at his favorite grandson.
On the night when Zhu Zhanji was born, he once had a dream when he was still King of Yan. He dreamed that his father gave him a big gui. There were eight characters engraved on the big gui: "The descendants of the people will live forever." Its prosperity".
Dagui symbolizes power. When his father gave Dagui to him, doesn't it mean that he values him and trusts him?
But now, the dream has come true. Just as Dao Yan said, this grandson is his second lucky star.
"Zhanji, tell me, why do you want to tamper with history? Do you want our descendants to laugh at me, Zhu Di, for not being able to face the facts?" Zhu Di asked with a smile.
Zhu Zhanji raised his head and tried his best to smile: "Grandpa, you are the emperor of eternity. Your history cannot and will not be stained."
Zhu Di smiled.
That year, the Japanese invaded the border, and the Ming Dynasty directly sent warships to attack their homeland, and they surrendered at that time.
Zhu Di was too lazy to worry about it anymore. It was just a small island. Even if there were some mines, he could buy it. The most important thing is to develop research and learn from the world.
As a result, after some time, Jin Yiwei discovered that the Japanese island actually sent women to the Ming Dynasty to seek seeds, obtain intelligence, battlefield information, etc. After being caught, the Japanese people were also very aware of current affairs. The leader personally came to the Ming Dynasty to kneel down and apologize, and he killed and beheaded at will.
This was probably the first time Zhu Di saw someone admitting his mistake so sincerely. In order to show the tolerance of the great Ming Dynasty, he let them go.
After the result, Nawajima made mistakes and apologized again and again.
In anger, Zhu Di directly sent troops to occupy the Japanese island. As a result, the leading general at the time, Yu Qian, directly ordered that all the high-level officials on the island be slaughtered. The women and children were sent to the Jiaofang Division, and all the top officials and below were taken to the far east for mining.
This is also considered one of the stains in his life. You need to know which battle was involved in a wide range of things.
Who was Yu Qian at that time? The number one pick he personally picked was talented and highly appreciated by him. Moreover, when this scholar took the imperial examination and became an official, he was told every day that he should live with the people, put an end to war, and hide wealth among the people.
I believed him, after all, the court not only needs those who lead the battle, but also those who lead the peace. Soon afterwards, he was made the minister of the Ministry of War, and even asked him to lead troops to Japan to handle the funeral affairs.
As a result, that guy didn't know where he encountered something or found something, so he immediately went crazy and killed him. In one year, he implicated and killed as many as 300,000 people.
When the news came back, the whole country was in an uproar and the people were furious.
When he caught him back, Yu Qian felt confident.
"The people of the Japanese Islands have small etiquette but no great righteousness. During the Yuan Dynasty and the early Ming Dynasty, they invaded our Chinese border again and again. Today, they threaten, induce and even try to use chronic poison to sell me to the Ming Dynasty to control me. Senior officials of the Ming Dynasty cannot be punished for their crimes!"
Put him in jail, this guy also recited a poem: Thousands of hammers carved out the deep mountains, and the fire burned them as if nothing happened. Don't be afraid of your bones being shattered into pieces, you want to leave your innocence in this world.
Zhu Di didn't have the nerve to kill him at this time, and then those scholars directly put the blame on him.
After all, in the eyes of scholars all over the world, how could a knowledgeable, generous and benevolent scholar like Yu Qian do such a thing, and how could he issue such an inhumane order? It must have been forced by Zhu Di!
If the king wants his minister to die, he must die.
Poor Yu Qian, an honest scholar, now not only has to bear the pain and intolerance of trapping and killing Japanese people, but also has to face jail when he comes back.
This Zhu Di is not a human emperor!
Zhu Di:? ? ?
