In this way, Zhu Jianshen was raised in the palace of Queen Mother Sun until he was two years old.
"Grandma Huang, Grandma Huang, can you tell me the story of Grandpa Huang?"
Zhu Jianshen, who was less than two years old, was left in the palace of the Empress Dowager Sun. Even if his mother and concubine sent someone to hold him, he was unwilling to leave. This was his protector, how could he leave at will.
Empress Dowager Sun smiled softly and said: "Your grandpa is a wise king. My dear grandson will definitely become an emperor like grandpa when he grows up."
The Queen Mother was very proud of her grandson, and the kiss from the next generation was clearly reflected in her body. However, this was also Zhu Jianshen's painstaking efforts.
Ever since he was brought into the Queen Mother Sun's palace a year ago, Zhu Jianshen has been very well-behaved, unlike his peers. He is unwilling to leave anyone who comes to hold him. Even his biological mother, Concubine Zhou Guifei, can only greet the Queen Mother Sun while saying goodbye. Only then can you look at your children.
Zhu Jianshen was very affectionate to the Queen Mother and was unwilling to leave the Queen Mother. This had long been spread in the palace.
Empress Dowager Sun was also very impressed by Zhu Jianshen's performance, and immediately made a decree to have Zhu Jianshen raised in her palace.
Zhu Jianshen was able to walk at one year old and learned to speak some words. Although he was not considered to be gifted, he was much better than his cheap dad. When he turned two, he could speak fluently and became more fluent. Being able to think about some problems alone is not without innocence, but some of his words are also quite sophisticated.
There is no small matter in the emperor's family. If the performance of the emperor's eldest son were placed in ordinary people's homes, he would only receive praise from a few elders, but if placed in the royal family, it would be a sign of talent and intelligence.
Of course, these are all deliberate performances by Zhu Jianshen.
"Grandma Huang, Grandma Huang, Jianshen wants to grow up quickly so that he can protect Grandma Huang when he grows up." Zhu Jianshen said with a sweet voice while holding the Queen Mother Sun's legs.
After listening to her grandson's words, Empress Dowager Sun felt happy, "The emperor's grandson is really filial, unlike your father." When mentioning Zhu Qizhen, and thinking of the nonsense he brought up in the past few days, Empress Dowager Sun said Feeling a little worried.
"Father made Grandma Huang angry again. Next time I see Father, my grandson will hit him with my little fist to vent his anger on Grandma Huang."
"Haha." After hearing Zhu Jianshen's words, Empress Dowager Sun couldn't laugh or cry. After laughing for a while, she knew that she still had important things to deal with. She immediately said to the maid next to her: "Zhen'er, the little prince has played for long enough. You Take him down to rest."
"Yes, the Queen Mother." Bai Yueguang Wan Zhen'er, who was Zhu Jianshen's previous life, stepped forward and was about to take Zhu Jianshen away.
But Zhu Jianshen was unwilling to leave, hugging Queen Mother Sun's legs tightly and said.
"Grandma Huang, my grandson is not tired and doesn't want to sleep. He just wants to play with Grandma Huang." After saying this, they looked at the Queen Mother with tears in their eyes.
Seeing Zhu Jianshen's behavior, Queen Mother Sun couldn't bear it. After thinking for a moment, she knelt down, picked up Zhu Jianshen and said, "Okay, Grandma Huang will take you to teach your father a lesson."
Zhu Jianshen's heart moved and he came.
Wan Zhen'er stepped forward and said, "Empress Dowager, please come and hold the Crown Prince."
Empress Dowager Sun waved her hand and refused, then walked out of the palace with Zhu Jianshen in her arms, followed closely by dozens of palace maids and eunuchs.
After getting on the Queen Mother's carriage.
"Grandma Huang, when I see my father later, I will definitely vent my anger on Grandma Huang."
Zhu Jianshen's words comforted Empress Dowager Sun, who just gently touched Zhu Jianshen's forehead and said nothing.
But Zhu Jianshen's eyes contained many profound meanings, but Queen Mother Sun didn't notice it either. She was just thinking about Zhu Qizhen's intention to conquer personally.
A year ago, when Zhu Jianshen was in his biological mother's palace, he had no clue about his future. When he saw the Queen Mother, he was like a drowning man grasping for life-saving straws.
He cannot be like the real historical Zhu Jianshen, who was in a trance when he was a child and left his life in the hands of his uncle Zhu Qiyu. Now that he has lived his life again, he must be bolder and change history and his own destiny.
As for dad’s fate. It's not within his scope of consideration.
In the Palace of Qianqing.
The ministers of civil and military affairs lined up aside and were quarreling with the King, the valet beside His Majesty the Emperor.
"The emperor is the foundation of a country, how can he act rashly?"
"Your Majesty must not trust eunuchs to harm the country."
"We only need to send generals who can fight to the Mongolian invaders. Why does your Majesty have to go there personally and suffer from the fatigue of traveling by boat?"
…………
"Your Majesty is concerned about the country and the people. He wants to imitate the late emperor and spread the majesty of the Ming Dynasty far away. Why not? Only corrupt scholars will harm the country. Can you afford to take the responsibility if it delays the opportunity for war?" Wang Zhen reprimanded loudly.
Zhu Qizhen was sitting on the dragon chair, always closing his eyes to rest.
These past few days have also made him very anxious. Is it wrong for him to want to lead a military expedition and to imitate his father?
That's right, I want to be a good emperor, a wise and mighty emperor, but why don't all the officials agree, and even the queen mother wants to reprimand me.
They don't want to let themselves be a heroic emperor, but they want to prove it to them.
I am no worse than my great-grandfather, Emperor Yongle, and no worse than my father, Emperor Xuande. I can also do what they can do.
"If you speak against the country, you will be beheaded at the Meridian Gate." A minister pointed at Wang Zhen's nose and cursed angrily.
This minister is none other than Yu Qian.
Yu Qian's body was majestic and heroic. At this time, he was glaring at Wang Zhen angrily.
The threat from the grassland has always been there. This time, we only need to send reinforcements to the border. For the Ming Empire, it is not a big deal, but once the emperor goes on an expedition, it will be a big deal.
Even if the emperor personally leads the expedition, he can accept it. The emperor is the commander-in-chief on the surface, and he chooses a veteran who is good at conquering and fighting to be the deputy commander. But now the emperor wants to take Wang Zhen with him, and the deputy commander arranges it casually. If it's on Wang Zhen's head, that's okay. But when the generals below don't listen to orders and are passive and slow in their work, it's no wonder that this war can be fought well.
If it were you, you are a general, and you cannot obey the orders of a eunuch. Discord between superiors and subordinates is a taboo for military strategists. This will create hidden dangers before the expedition, which proves that the expedition will not have any good results.
The most acceptable result for the ministers was that the emperor personally led the expedition, and the huge power frightened the tribes on the grassland. They retreated one after another, unwilling to fight the Ming army head-on. They spent countless money and food and returned without success.
Another possibility is that they encountered Oara's army, fought several battles, and returned with a heavy defeat. The Ming army's prestige was damaged outside the Great Wall, and it would be more difficult to control the tribes outside the Great Wall, and even lost the ability to deter the Jurchen tribes in Liaodong.
Of course, Yu Qian would never have imagined that this war would become so intense that the Ming Empire would have another captive emperor, and even risk the country's collapse.
After Wang Zhen heard what Yu Qian said, he shouted: "Yu Qian, you are so brave. You have wronged the country. The people who misunderstood the country are you civil servants who are not enterprising and look forward and backward."
"Who is so brave? Wang Zhen, I see you are really brave." The Queen Mother walked into the Palace of Qianqing, holding Zhu Jianshen who was just able to walk steadily.
