The orthodox emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qi Zhen, returned to the south and was destined to leave endless reverie in history. Even at this moment, the civil and military officials are still vague about the location of Zhu Qi Zhen.
When he returned to the south in the fifth year of Chenghua, the court said that the emperor was still in Mongolia and had not returned. However, the really smart people, especially those who participated in the search and reception, knew clearly in their hearts what happened that time. It was so big that the Empress Dowager was alerted, and Yu Qian, Li Xian, Cheng Guogong Zhu Shou, Chen Ying, Xu Youzhen and others went into battle one after another. How could it be fake?
But few people mentioned this topic. On the one hand, it was because of Yu Qian and Li Xian who purged all officials loyal to the Supreme Emperor in the name of purging Wang Zhenyu's party. Secondly, it was because of the attitude of Empress Dowager Sun. , the attitude of the superiors determines the stance of the people below. Under the general situation, even those censors who "hate evil as much as they hate hatred" and "selfless" do not dare to say anything.
And these people don't know that the Emperor they miss day and night is far away in the southwest border area, spreading branches and leaves for the royal family. Zhu Qizhen came to the clan in order to allow the lineage of Emperor Xuanzong, who had always been underpopulated, to shine in the clan. Work day and night.
Mother hands line, wandering clothing.
It is no exaggeration to apply this kind of mood to Zhu Qizhen at this time.
In a deep house in Yunnan.
Zhu Qizhen sat on a chair and looked at the children standing side by side in front of him.
These are his ten children.
The second son of the emperor, Zhu Jianlin, was eleven years old.
The third son of the emperor, Zhu Jianshi, was ten years old.
The fourth daughter of the emperor, Zhu Yanxiang, is eight years old.
The fifth daughter of the emperor, Zhu Yanrui, is eight years old.
Zhu Jianchun, the sixth son of the emperor, is six years old.
Zhu Jianshu, the seventh son of the emperor, was six years old.
The eighth son of the emperor, Zhu Jianze, was five years old.
The ninth son of the emperor, Zhu Jianpei, was four years old.
The tenth son of the emperor, Zhu Jianzhi, was two years old.
Of course, these are not the final results of Zhu Qizhen's years of hard work. There are still two pregnant women who have not given birth.
These children, especially the emperor's second son Zhu Jianlin, and the emperor's sixth son Zhu Jianchun, have similar looks to their elder brother who was the emperor in the capital, but they do not have Zhu Jianshen's nobility and heroic spirit.
Zhu Jianshen will get married in August, and these princes and princesses will leave in July.
The eldest son Zhu Jianlin, under the guidance of his mother, understood a few things and what leaving Yunnan meant to them. However, the other princes and princesses did not understand so much. Although they stood on the A row, but still playing and playing.
Zhu Qizhen looked at his children with great anxiety and inexplicable pain.
The troublemaking women in the back house also settled down and accepted this fact that was difficult for them to accept. Of course, this was not Zhu Qizhen's work, but they had to accept it.
Although they are all female-born, they are all people who have been in the palace and have some knowledge. They all know that although the Supreme Emperor is the Supreme Emperor and the father of His Majesty the Ming Emperor, this is Yunnan, not the capital, and the real person in charge is the one who is in charge. The dry old man was cold and cold.
Zhu Qizhen wanted to hold a meeting and give instructions to his children, but the children were unwilling to listen. After he said a few words, he was interrupted by the noise of the children. At the moment, he could only ask the eunuch to take the children away. They were all taken away, except Zhu Jianlin, the second son of the emperor.
"sit down."
"Father, my son just needs to stand."
Zhu Qizhen glanced at Zhu Jianlin: "You are the oldest and the most sensible among my children. You will be returning to the capital in less than a month. Are you afraid?"
"Father, my son is not afraid." Although Zhu Jianlin said hard, his face was pale and his body was shaking from time to time.
Zhu Qizhen looked at his second emperor son and sighed in his heart: "This son is weak and it is difficult for him to become a great person."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be afraid. When I was a few years younger than you, I became the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, I had no fear of weakness. In the fourteenth year of my becoming emperor, those Mongolians outside the Great Wall Even if they kill our Ming Dynasty’s border residents and attack our Ming Dynasty’s cities, I won’t have the slightest fear and will lead the army to fight.”
"Before I went on the expedition, I kept in mind what your grandpa said to me. Will he be able to bring peace to the world if he becomes emperor one day? I was only six years old at that time, so I patted my chest and promised that I can. Your grandpa He also asked: Do those who have the discipline to lead the country dare to kiss the Sixth Division to correct their sins? I also said yes, I promised your grandpa, and I did it. When I go to the underworld and see your grandpa, I will I can also proudly say to him: My father has done what he promised you."
After hearing Zhu Qizhen's words, Zhu Jianlin's expression changed slightly. How could this be different from what his mother said? What his mother said was that his father was young and frivolous, suffered a great defeat, lost his master and humiliated the country, and in Mongolia After staying there for a few years, he was born in Mongolia. At that time, he had not had a good meal. His mother was always afraid that the war between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia would resume, which would harm her life. But after listening to what his father said, he was still okay. Proud.
Of course Zhu Qizhen noticed Zhu Jianlin's abnormality and stopped trembling. The look in his eyes probably meant, Dad, you are bragging.
At that moment, Zhu Qizhen's heart moved, and he said with a normal expression: "Maybe your mother said something to you, but I tell you, what she said is not right. I was caught in Tumubao on purpose."
"Only in this way can we make the Tatars arrogant and arrogant, and our Ming army have the opportunity to completely eradicate them. When I left the capital, I made overall arrangements to appoint your brother as the crown prince. I just wanted to When I die for my country, I can leave a successor to the Ming Dynasty."
"Now that Mongolia's strength has been greatly damaged, it will not be able to invade the frontier in twenty or thirty years. This means that you can't catch the tiger's cubs unless you enter the tiger's den. In fact, it was all your father's credit for Xiaobai's great victory back then. Although the world has I have misunderstood many times, but I am a citizen of the world and have no regrets."
After Zhu Jianlin heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "My father has dedicated himself to serving the country, and I admire him endlessly."
Seeing that his eldest son believed this, Zhu Qizhen waved his hand: "Get up."
Zhu Jianlin stood up and let Zhu Qizhen see his face again. After all, this kid still didn't believe his father.
Zhu Jianlin knelt down and replied to save face for his father. He was stupid, but he was not stupid. He said so much, not all of which were good about himself. Don't say that I don't believe it, and my tenth brother probably doesn't believe it either.
Zhu Qizhen sighed and was unwilling to continue talking about this topic. If his son couldn't control his laughter, both of them would be embarrassed.
"I'm going back to Beijing soon. I want to give you a few words."
"My children are all ears." Zhu Jianlin said quickly, feeling happy that the cow could finally rest for a while.
"Your eldest brother, my eldest son, the current Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, has been very obedient since he was a child. After you return to the capital, he will not treat you badly, but you must also know in your heart that since he is your brother, He is also the monarch of the Ming Dynasty. You cannot be arrogant in front of him. You must be respectful and respectful like you treat me. In two or three years, you will be able to go out and join the vassal. At that time, you will be able to truly be the master of the country. You must be humble. Stay angry."
"Yes, Father, I understand."
"Also, your younger brothers and sisters are very young. You have to be more careful when they are on the road. You have to protect them. Especially when you are on the road, you must be careful."
"Father, my child, my child understands."
"There is one more thing, the most important thing. After meeting your eldest brother, don't forget to tell him that your father misses him very much, misses the queen, misses Ming Dynasty, and asks him to give birth to a grandson for me as soon as possible. Let me return to Beijing earlier."
After saying this, Zhu Jianlin didn't reply for a long time. Zhu Qizhen raised his head and glanced at Zhu Jianlin.
I saw a troubled expression on his face.
"how?"
"Father, it is somewhat inappropriate for a child to say these things to an imperial brother."
Hearing Zhu Jianlin's words, Zhu Qizhen became angry for a moment and his voice became louder: "Why is it inappropriate? You are brothers and a family. It is inappropriate for outsiders to say it, but it is most appropriate for you to say it."
Seeing his father getting angry, Zhu Jianlin didn't dare to say anything more. He could only nod and said, "Yes, I understand."
"Remember, don't forget to talk to your grandma when you see her. Whether our family can reunite as soon as possible depends on you."
"Yes, Father."
Zhu Qizhen got Zhu Jianlin's repeated assurances before letting him go down. After sitting for a while, his lower abdomen felt hot and he became a little interested. When he stood up and wanted to light the spark plug in the backyard to exercise again, the eunuch came in and announced Leng Lin is here again.
Zhu Qizhen could only suppress his desire at the moment, but he was still a little unforgiving.
"He's here to eat and salute at noon. He doesn't know the time or etiquette. He's disturbing people's enjoyment. Forget it, let him in."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After saying this, Zhu Qizhen sat down again, and after a while, Leng Lin walked in.
After saluting, Leng Lin said directly: "Your Majesty, please let the princes and princesses prepare in advance. We will set off in June."
"Why did it come so long in advance?" Zhu Qizhen was very dissatisfied. It had just been settled before, and now there are changes. The most important thing is that this person came to inform, not to discuss, and he would be able to return to Beijing soon. , I still don’t want to save face for the Supreme Emperor.
Leng Lin had already thought about it. After sending the Supreme Emperor back to the capital, he would resign his official position and go home to farm. He had been the administrative director of the Supreme Emperor's office these years, which made him physically and mentally exhausted. He just wanted to live the rest of his life well. rest.
"The welcome regulations of the Ministry of Rites have been issued. We will welcome the princes and princesses at Juyong Pass in early July. Your Majesty has also said that we must not neglect anything along the way. Therefore, we must prepare in advance and leave the pass first, and then enter the pass. , these princes and princesses are all pampered and pampered, so they are bound to not go fast along the way, so I thought of setting off as early as possible without any delay."
After listening to Leng Lin's words, Zhu Qizhen sighed and said coldly: "It's somewhat ridiculous."
"The Supreme Emperor should not be dissatisfied. Isn't it the Supreme Emperor's long-cherished wish to have the princes and princesses return to the capital as soon as possible? If His Majesty values this so much, won't it be easier for the princes and princesses in the capital in the future?"
"Is there any news about where my child will be placed after he returns to Beijing?" Zhu Qizhen said quickly. Since the welcome regulations have been issued, the placement must have been prepared in advance.
"Of course I live in the front palace." Leng Lin said.
"Who will take care of Zhaofu?" Zhu Qizhen asked next.
"Of course she is the master of the harem, the empress." Leng Lin then replied.
"Can you let my queen take care of me?" Zhu Qizhen continued.
After hearing this, Leng Lin hesitated, and then said slowly: "What about this? I can't make the decision. The Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother can visit and summon them. Unlike the Emperor, they have freedom."
Zhu Qizhen was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He only thought about the children and forgot about his own situation.
"You tell Yu Qian and ask him to pass the message to the palace, and then send me eight dignified and beautiful palace maids. I, I am indeed a little tired during this period, and I want to find new inspiration. Stimulate…………"
Leng Lin sighed, here it comes, here it comes again.
A monarch makes this request to his ministers. Ridiculous or not, embarrassing or not, I am ashamed for you. If it doesn’t work, just spend some money. There is no shame in spending some money...
"When the Supreme Emperor returns to the capital, you can tell the people in the palace yourself." After saying this, Leng Lin walked away directly...
Zhu Qizhen was annoyed again.
