Zhu Jianshen finally made up his mind to ennoble Lao Liu as the crown prince, and he would always keep him with him, teach him, and train him into a qualified monarch in ten or twenty years.
The reason for being so anxious.
It is because Zhu Youhua's departure from the capital will bring an illusion to the former dynasty and the harem. His Majesty the Emperor is not a supporter of the system of establishing heirs and elders. Then the officials of the former dynasty and the concubines in the harem will have the idea of vying for the throne of the heir apparent. , triggering fights in the palace and cliques in the previous dynasty.
This is not in the interest of the country. By confirming the crown prince early, the impact of this matter can be minimized. At this time, Zhu Jianshen did not expect that the sixth son of his family could become an eternal wise king. As long as he could become a qualified monarch, he I am satisfied.
Of course, for the Mingjun of the ages, the positioning of each dynasty is different. He has made great achievements, but he has done it on the shoulders of the people. He has no great achievements, but can make the people live peacefully. He is also a Mingjun, and can also be said to be a qualified monarch. …
It may be very difficult to cultivate an eternal wise king, but it is not difficult to bring out a qualified emperor. If you determine the title early, you can also start cultivating him early.
The most important thing is that Zhu Jianshen led the Ming Dynasty to actively expand. This path would waste a lot of national power. The next successor still had to recuperate with the people.
After Xu Youzhen listened to Zhu Jianshen's words, she fell into a brief shock.
He really couldn't understand why His Majesty the Emperor chose to settle for the next best thing. Maybe, in his opinion, killing a few young eunuchs was an innocuous matter.
Menda thought that Xu Youzhen would be displeased with Xu Youzhen and stay away from him because of the officials who secretly helped oppose Zhu Youhua's departure from the capital. But the position was different and the things he was considering were different. Zhu Jianshen didn't even take it to heart. As Du Cha The Zuodu Yushi of the courtyard, he had already proven his loyalty without taking the lead in making trouble.
After leaving the Qianqing Palace, Xu Youzhen also received a task, giving him two months to prepare and asking the Ministry of Rites to complete the ceremony of canonizing the crown prince.
The ceremony of canonizing crown princes in the past dynasties is the most complicated in the Ming Dynasty, even more than the emperor's enthronement ceremony. Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang, the great emperor of the Ming Dynasty, proclaimed himself emperor in Nanjing, founded the Ming Dynasty, and was named Hongwu. The thirteen-year-old eldest son Zhu Biao was made The crown prince held a grand canonization ceremony and formed a custom, which became the best in history.
Throughout all dynasties, only the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty can be called a true "crown prince". From a certain perspective, the crown prince is already a monarch. This situation is very rare in feudal dynasties...
Of course, this was all started by Emperor Taizu Gao, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Prince Yiwen, Zhu Biao. The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty had almost nothing to guard against the Crown Prince...
Zhu Jianshen was established as the crown prince at the age of two, but at that time, the Supreme Emperor Zhu Qizhen was busy going out to fight, and of course he did not have the energy to hold a canonization ceremony for his crown prince...
After Xu Youzhen left the palace, she wanted to contact Zhou Zheng and others to persuade them to give up blocking Zhu Youhua from leaving the capital. However, the people Xu Youzhen sent out could not find Zhou Zheng and others...
On the second day, the great court meeting in Fengtian Hall was held. This day was also the day when Zhu Youhua left the capital.
While his father was being worshiped by hundreds of officials in the Fengtian Hall, Zhu Youhua also finished his last breakfast in the palace under the watchful eyes of his mother and younger brother.
When Zhu Youhua was eating, Zhao Huanong stood behind him. This time when he went to North Korea, Zhao Huanong, as the first person in charge of rituals, had to personally escort him. After arriving in Seoul, he also had to personally organize Zhu Youhua's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and Zhu Jianshen specially gave instructions. , the whole journey is by land, passing through Shanhaiguan, Liaoping Prefecture, Pyongyang City...
Although Zhu Youhua has a bad temper, he treats his biological brother very dearly. After drinking the porridge, Zhu Youhua first glanced at his mother sitting opposite, and then looked at his biological brother Zhu Youkai.
"Mother, when will my son see his mother again? Where is my brother..." After a moment, Zhu Youhua said.
"As long as you study hard and don't be as naughty as you are now, your father will let you come back..." Zhang Yan said softly. Of course, she knew in her heart that Zhu Youhua would probably never leave the capital again this time. She's back...but she's content to be able to live in peace in another place with no worries about food and clothing, marry a wife and have children.
Zhu Youhua nodded upon hearing this.
Following Zhu Youhua to North Korea this time, there were more than thirty old people who had worked as servants in Kunning Palace. They all took Zhu Youhua when he was young, and they often received the care and favor of the queen. With these people here, Zhu Youhua's life in Seoul The life will not be too difficult. Of course, Zhu Jianshen asked Zhu Youhua to study in Seoul, and also sent two teachers who could control Zhu Youhua. One was the queen's biological brother Guo Jiye, and the other was a Hanlin Academy teacher selected by Zhu Jianshen. Over the years, In the eighth year of Chenghua's reign, he served as Zhu Jianshen's Jingyan lecturer.
At this time, the main building complex of the original Seoul Palace was also decorated with the plaque of Prince Jing's Palace.
After finishing the meal, Zhang Yan said softly: "Follow Eunuch Zhao, kowtow to the two royal grandmothers and say goodbye..."
After listening to Zhang Yan's words, Zhu Youhua stood up obediently, then knelt down, saluted Zhang Yan, and then left with Zhao Huanong...
Zhang Yan also stood up and stared at her son's back, getting further and further away...
Lao Liu, who was standing next to her, looked at his mother in confusion: "Mother, why is the second brother crying? Where is he going..."
After Zhang Yan heard this, she whispered: "Go where he should go..."
Zhu Youkai was puzzled after listening to his mother's words, but when he saw that his mother was also crying, he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
At the great court meeting, many public officials took leave of absence. The military attache side was full of people, but the civilian officials side were scattered...
At the end of the court meeting, Zhu Jianshen also asked Gao Yi to read out the decree to appoint the sixth son of the emperor as the crown prince...
"... Since ancient times, emperors have succeeded to the throne, established princes, established the foundation of the country, and established the Mianzong Society without borders. The emperor's sixth son, with a handsome appearance and a beautiful talent, would like to tell the heaven and earth, the ancestral temple, and the country that after the completion of the In the eighteenth year of the Hua Dynasty......the emperor's six legitimate sons were awarded treasures, and the crown prince was established to take the throne in the East Palace, to establish a ten thousand-year lineage, to tie the feelings of the four seas, and to calm the hearts of the government and the public..."
After reciting this edict, both the government and the public were shocked. Then, Zhu Jianshen waved his hand to Gao Yi, and then Gao Yi took out an imperial edict and read it out, setting the date for the Crown Prince's canonization ceremony... and handed it to Xu Youzhen and Zhan Yang. People...invited the kings of various vassals to watch the ceremony...requested the kings of various vassals to congratulate the crown prince and his ministers...
Li Xian, the chief assistant of the cabinet, immediately led all officials to receive the decree after listening to the two decrees...
Then, Fengtian Temple fell to their knees again, everyone shouting long live the Holy Ming. ŴŴŴ.BiQuGe.Biz
In fact, this result is the bottom line acceptable to the civil servants. Zhu Youhua did have a problem with his own character. In the feudal dynasty, this problem was considered big or small, but from the perspective of the emperor, there was zero tolerance. , if the confrontation continues blindly, there will be no good results, and all officials can only retreat and settle for the next best thing.
Of course, behind the incident that prevented Zhu Youhua from leaving Beijing, there was still the shadow of Li Xian, but Menda treated him differently and only held on to Xu Youzhen...
