In recent years, everything His Majesty the Emperor has done has been transformation.
From the new tax system, to tax laws, to the opening of the sea, and even directly establishing the Yanshenggong Mansion, this was unimaginable before. The title of Yanshenggong was vacant for a year before a new candidate was appointed. This was previously unimaginable. It's also impossible to happen.
So many impossible things happened in Chenghua Dynasty, which made officials feel very uneasy.
However, after externally wiping out the Jurchens and conquering North Korea and Annan, the young emperor was restless and all the officials could not live a down-to-earth life as officials.
Because the emperor has done so many things, the officials are somewhat afraid that on the issue of establishing a crown prince, His Majesty the Emperor will once again challenge tradition and the ancestral system.
After the position of the Crown Prince was determined, the officials of the previous dynasty felt somewhat calmer. At least His Majesty the Emperor chose his legitimate son as the Crown Prince...
After Zhu Youkai became the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, his life did not change much. In his small world, he just felt that he saw his father more and more often. He had not seen him for several days before. Once, and now we meet every day, especially in the Qianqing Palace, when his father listens to the officials discussing politics, he has to sit aside, and from time to time, a serious-looking middle-aged man looks at him to restrain his restlessness. Behavior.
Of course, this middle-aged man is Han Yong...
One family is happy and the other is sad.
The eldest son of the emperor, Zhu Youhuang, has reached a sensible age.
He had been delighted.
He had also heard more or less about what happened in the palace.
Zhu Youhua, the legitimate son of the Empress, did so many ridiculous things, which displeased his father, and he missed the title of crown prince. At this time, Zhu Youhua could clearly feel that his opportunity had come.
If the direct descendants are not worthy, then it is time to choose the elders.
But what happened next made all Zhu Youli's joy come to nothing.
The sixth son, Zhu Youkai, who was also his father's legitimate son, was established as the crown prince. His father held a grand ceremony for him to establish the crown prince, and he became a backdrop in it.
Among so many brothers, he is the oldest. At this time, he is the only one who knows what it means for the sixth child to be established as the crown prince.
The Ming Dynasty never abolished the crown prince.
This means that his father has made a choice.
It is impossible not to feel sad in my heart. Everyone hopes to be the only one in their father's heart.
However, although Zhu Youlang felt sad that his father did not choose him, he did not feel jealous. He just thought that in a few years, when he was fourteen or fifteen years old, his father might arrange for him to leave the capital and join the feudal clan. At the moment, I want to serve my father well.
But this opportunity is much less available.
Maybe it was to stabilize the crown prince's position, or maybe he was afraid that Zhu Youhuang would think too much, except for the family dinner, Zhu Youhuang never saw Zhu Jianshen again.
When he was two or three years old, Zhu Jianshen chose to ignore Zhu Youhuang for the sake of his eldest son Zhu Youhua.
Now that he has grown up and is sensible, his father once again chose to neglect him for the sake of Lao Liu...
However, Zhu Youhuang did not choose to give up on himself. He chose to be more diligent and studious. This was the only way to let his father see that he also had an outstanding son.
He just has a lower background, but he is definitely not a mediocre person...
From then on, Zhu Youhuang was the first to go to school every day, and before each departure, he would pick up his third brother Zhu Youzi. After finishing his homework, he did not go to play around, but returned to his residence early, and after reviewing his homework, he Find two military supervisors to listen to them talk about the wars waged by the imperial court in recent years. Moreover, Zhu Youhuang also thought that in two days, he would also practice bow and horse. He should not be a weak prince, but a man who could charge into battle when mounted and dismounted. An all-rounder in civil and military affairs who governs the country and ensures peace.
Even with the sweltering heat coming, I didn’t choose to sleep in in the afternoon.
He is too self-disciplined.
He was so self-disciplined that even his mother, Yang Yuer, felt scared.
As the eldest son of the emperor, who still has no inheritance rights, you can choose to live in ignorance, eat, drink and have fun, but you have to be both civil and military, which will make people think a lot, especially in this critical period when the throne has been determined.
For this reason, Yang Yu'er repeatedly persuaded Zhu Youhuang that he didn't need to work so hard, and even directly told him what was so great about him. However, he could not change Zhu Youhuang.
Zhu Jianshen has been watching Zhu Youshen's changes. Although Zhu Jianshen can't bear it deep down, he has nothing to do. This is what happens in the royal family.
Since we have chosen Lao Liu as the crown prince and hope that he will inherit the throne in the future, we cannot give hope to Zhu Youhuang. If we give him a little hope now, it will be a huge disaster in the future... This is what a father and an emperor must do. choices made.
The days passed.
Shi Biao finally arrived in Beijing at the end of September and walked for five months. The biggest reason was that when he was in Huguang, he gave a memorial to Zhu Jianshen and wanted to return to his hometown in Shaanxi. For this hero, Zhu Jianshen Of course I won't refuse.
Shi Biao also changed direction in Huguang and returned to Shaanxi first. Shi Heng and Shi Biao's hometown was Weinan, Shaanxi. It took him more than a month to return to his hometown. Then Shi Biao stayed in his hometown for more than a month. , before returning to the capital.
The reason why he wanted to return to Shaanxi first was because the ancestral grave at home was in Shaanxi and he wanted to go and apologize first. Of course, part of the reason was because Shi Biao was afraid of entering the capital and he didn't know how to face his aunt. A brother.
However, escaping was useless. After he returned to the capital, he was summoned by the emperor before he reached home.
In the Palace of Qianqing.
Zhu Jianshen looked at the dark-skinned, square-faced, tall and fierce-looking Shi Biao in front of him, and could not hide the joy in his eyes.
Perhaps because of his age, Zhu Jianshen also saw the shadow of Shi Heng in Shi Biao at this time.
If Shi Heng's incident had not happened, Shi Biao must have been the general Zhu Jianshen relied on most. After a few years of exploring the southwest, he would have sent him to the northwest to lead the military in Gansu and Shaanxi and run the Hami Guard. But now, Zhu Jianshen can only send Shi Biao to the northwest. Biao was transferred back and sent to Liaodong first.
Even if Zhu Jianshen didn't have the slightest doubt about Shi Biao at this time, having no doubts did not mean that he could be appointed unconditionally.
To put it bluntly, military and national affairs cannot be careless in the slightest, and the emperor cannot trust anyone based on his heart...
Shi Biao has not seen Zhu Jianshen for many years.
When he knelt down and stood up, he and Zhu Jianshen looked at each other.
I have seen the changes in the emperor in the past few years.
His Majesty the Emperor is calm and self-confident, becoming more and more heroic. Compared with when he set out, His Majesty the Emperor's body is also slightly larger. He is no longer the skinny young emperor he was back then...
