After Ye Xian died, the Oara tribe completely lost power, and all Mongolian tribes began to besiege Oara. The once powerful Oara tribe fell apart and could only flee to the west, completely withdrawing from the Great Mongolian grassland and sinking into weakness. A hundred years later, a man named Ge Erdan's Wala descendants regained the glory of their ancestors, but they also disappeared like meteors just like Ye Xian.
Because of the great victory of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qizhen's life in Mongolia was slightly better.
Tuo Tuo Bu Hua Khan treated Zhu Qizhen very politely and often took him to bonfire parties, where he ate meat and drank wine.
Although Zhu Qizhen's living conditions were better, his desire to return to the capital never stopped.
He often told Tuotuo Buhua about his homesickness.
But Tuotuo Buhua Khan did not reply directly. He also wanted the Ming Dynasty to send envoys to pick up Zhu Qizhen. At that time, they could also sit down and raise the price to benefit the Ming Dynasty from paying more tribute, but Been waiting for more than half a year. No envoys from the Ming Dynasty were seen here to discuss welcoming their emperor.
If you don't come, I'll send someone there.
The Tuotaobuhua faction sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty. When they arrived at Datong Mansion, they were driven back without delivering their credentials.
Are they unwilling to let their emperor go back, or are they afraid that they will ask for a high price?
This made Tuotuo Buhua confused, and he never said this to Zhu Qizhen. He just thought that the war was over and the new emperor ascended the throne. There were many things to do, and welcoming the Supreme Emperor was also a big event, so he could only postpone it.
But the real situation is different.
The first year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty.
The young emperor Zhu Jianshen has been in power for more than half a year. The empress dowager also knows how to delegate power, appointing Yu Qian as the first assistant, Li Xian as the second assistant, and the officials of the six departments have been supplemented. The whole country has a good harvest and the people live and work in peace and contentment. It is as if they have changed into a little emperor. The national destiny of the Ming Dynasty has also changed.
This good situation was hard-won, so Li Xian, the chief auxiliary of the Tianshun Dynasty who was regarded by Zhu Qizhen, came up with a crooked idea.
He was aware of Zhu Qizhen's mediocre performance during the Tumu Fortress. If Zhu Qizhen came back, sudden changes would inevitably occur, so he took the initiative to find Yu Qian, Zhang Fu, Zhu Shou and others to discuss it.
You see, did our Supreme Emperor let him come back a few years late?
Yu Qian, Zhang Fu and others would never dare to say such treacherous words.
But just because you dare not say it doesn’t mean you don’t want to.
Will the Emperor be honest when he comes back? The answer is yes, he will definitely not be honest. Although the little emperor is young now, he is healthy, wise and cheerful, and has a face full of blessings. If he stays in the position of emperor, the Ming Dynasty can reach a higher level. .
Li Xian expressed their feelings. For Yu Qian, the king is the most important and the country is the most important. The benefits of Zhu Qizhen not coming back are obvious, but for Zhang Fu, Zhu Shou, the benefits of Zhu Qizhen not coming back are even greater. Da, there is some selfishness, but more of it is for the sake of Ming Dynasty.
Although the little emperor is young, no matter how he looks at him, he is liked by people. It can be said that Zhang Fu and Zhu Shou grew up watching Zhu Qizhen.
Compared with Zhu Jianshen, the difference is not even a little bit.
Zhu Qizhen is back, and Zhu Jianshen's position is unstable.
Otherwise, the generation of virtuous kings gifted by God to the Ming Dynasty would be in danger of dying young. How could this be done? Immediately, several important ministers of the Ming Dynasty got together and asked the Supreme Emperor to continue touring Mongolia for a few more years.
Of course, the starting point of all this is that everyone knows that Zhu Qizhen is treated as a guest at Tuotaobuhua's place.
It's a blessing to return to the capital, and it's a blessing to stay in the north, so why go to the trouble of running here and there.
Wait until the little emperor is older and the dust has settled, and then bring the Supreme Emperor back. By then, even if the Supreme Emperor wants to play some tricks, he can't do it.
Li Xian's worries are justified. In the original history, why Yu Qian persuaded Zhu Qiyu to welcome Zhu Qizhen back was because Zhu Qiyu was his younger brother, and no one would say anything even if he tried to do something scheming.
But Zhu Jianshen was Zhu Qizhen's son.
He couldn't be concerned about Zhu Qizhen, because it was a father-son relationship, and he couldn't do a series of things. He could only pin his hopes on the Queen Mother, but how could a mother embarrass her son.
In this way, Zhu Qizhen's fate was sealed.
The Jiubian guards have also rotated, and now the one taking over Datong is Han Qing, the commander of the Shandong Guards who guarded Zijin Pass.
Zhu Shou wrote a letter suggesting that Han Qing should ignore the letter of state submitted by Mongolia.
After getting the hint, Han Qing started doing things without so many scruples.
The families of the fallen brothers who followed him from Shandong were properly accommodated. The young emperor shed tears in the Hall of Supreme Harmony and helped Yu Shangshu win a huge pension. In the late court, the emperor also built monuments for his brothers and made contributions. The news spread around the capital.
The soldiers of the camp were all greatly moved.
And Han Qing really offended Zhu Qizhen. I had to die in the hands of the Mongols, but I died in your hands.
So he refused very simply.
Zhu Jianshen, who was far away in the palace, was thinking about his father Zhu Qizhen every day, and was always afraid that he would suddenly appear on the street corner one day...
Little did he know that the ministers had already made arrangements.
The four reign titles drawn up by the Ministry of Rites are Jingtai, Jing'an, Chenghua and Chengwu.
In fact, it was not Zhu Jianshen who decided the reign name, but the Empress Dowager.
But Zhu Jianshen couldn't help but like the word Chenghua, so the Empress Dowager decided to designate the next year as Chenghua.
The new year is the first year of Chenghua.
The reign names of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty all have their own meanings.
The previous Emperor Hongwu was named Hongwu because Zhu Yuanzhang had not yet pacified the world, so he went all the way north and all the way south. It was a tribute to his merits and an encouragement to the soldiers.
Emperor Jianwen was determined to be the same as Emperor Wen and Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, who wanted to rule the world with culture and cultivate the people.
Emperor Yongle wanted eternal peace and happiness. On the one hand, it was used to commend his own military achievements and to yearn for the future of the Ming Dynasty.
…………
The four era names drawn up by the Ministry of Rites, Jingtai and Jing'an, were based on the idea that after the young emperor ascended the throne, there would be no more wars and the country would be peaceful. Taikang and Jingtai were also the era names changed after his uncle Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne. They were Chenghua, all-encompassing, and heavenly. Xing Changdao expresses the emperor's determination to return to normal after the war, and Chengwu hopes that the young emperor's civilized martial arts will be included, with a slight emphasis on martial arts.
At first, Empress Dowager Sun wanted to choose Jingtai and Jing'an, which had a good meaning, but Zhu Jianshen felt that Jingtai was somewhat unlucky. It only existed for less than half a year, and Chenghua was the reign name of Zhu Jianshen in the original history. The most important thing is that the famous Chenghua porcelain cannot disappear.
The Empress Dowager doted on the obedient and sensible Zhu Jianshen, so she changed her mind.
The titles of Queen Qian and Concubine Zhou have also been added.
The Ministry of Rites put a lot of effort into this. After thinking about it for a long time, they did not dare to mess up the regulations.
The Empress Dowager Sun felt sorry for her daughter-in-law, so she asked the Ministry of Rites to highlight the position of Empress Qian. The empress dowagers of the two palaces coexisted, but Empress Qian was revered as Empress Dowager Ciyi, while Concubine Zhou was revered as Empress Dowager.
Queen Qian is really pitiful, her eyes have been crying so hard that she can't see clearly. Although Concubine Zhou also misses Zhu Qizhen mostly, since her son became the emperor, this yearning has faded a lot, unlike Queen Qian. Kneel down in front of the Buddha statue and pray all day long.
This is why Empress Dowager Sun asked the Ministry of Rites to honor Empress Qian as Empress Dowager Ciyi, while Concubine Zhou only gained the title of Empress Dowager. ŴŴŴ.BiQuGe.Biz
In order to prevent Empress Dowager Zhou from leading her grandson astray, Empress Dowager Sun strictly ordered in the palace that Empress Dowager Zhou could not see the emperor alone when she was not around...
