Chapter 4 The Queen Arrives
The emperors before Lao Zhu could have many years of age, such as Wu Zetian, who changed the years of age, and there were more than a dozen madmen like Wu Zetian, and the reasons for changing the years were strange. It was even rumored that because he was too satisfied with a certain male favorite, he changed his years name Ruyi...
Of course, if the emperor changes the year name, he has to rewrite the calendar, and the official documents in the court must be adjusted accordingly, and the administrative costs have increased greatly, especially among the people, which must also be adjusted accordingly, which will inevitably disturb the people.
Therefore, Lao Zhu, who was frugal by nature, no longer changed his year name, but instead had the same emperor as one.
Starting from the Ming Dynasty, you can call a certain emperor by the year.
Therefore, the year name became particularly important, which was the emperor's name.
Zhu Di had just succeeded in the crisis and ascended the throne and became emperor, so he got the rebels' reign. This felt like he had eaten two pounds of rat shit. Don't say that depression.
Zhu Gaoxu was also stupid. He really checked it to see if there were any repetitions, but the problem was that he only looked at the orthodox dynasty and the rebels like Fang La. Who knows what his reign is?
"Silly, why don't you be careful?"
Zhu Di's pupils were bloodshot, and he was really angry. Unlike the emperor who succeeded the throne, he was also in the same year as the rebels. He was so angry that he could imagine.
This was the first time Zhu Gaoxu saw his father so terrible, so he hurriedly lay on the ground and kowtowed, "Father, I don't do anything to my ministers. It's the Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy... The child is going to catch them now, and they all cut off their heads and vent their anger!"
"etc!"
When Empress Xu heard this, her eyes turned red. Her eldest brother was in the death row and her fourth brother died tragically. The Xu family had no more men to establish a family.
Xu Jingchang thought about it for a moment and said, "Empress, this matter..."
Especially when it comes to Zhu Di, he had just succeeded in Jingnan and claimed that he was Zhu Yuanzhang's most caring son. One of the reasons for Jingnan's uprising was that Zhu Yunwen under the instigation of the treacherous charity, destroyed the ancestral system and violated Zhu Yuanzhang's last order.
Empress Xu smiled, "Okay, I should go to the palace to see His Majesty. If you are so capable, your aunt will definitely find a good job for you. No one can underestimate the Xu family!"
Zhu Gaochi is kind and he is the crown prince, and even brothers can survive.
Making a copy of Zhu Yuanzhang's will is like further saying that it is natural for Zhu Di to succeed to the throne.
From the crown prince to the crown prince, it is natural.
Regardless of whether anyone believes it or not, this is a must.
Xu Jingchang said: "Although things are hard to say about in the future, the Grand Highness's crown prince was decided by Emperor Taizu. Your Majesty is a filial son of Emperor Taizu. As long as you point this matter to Your Majesty, the Grand Highness's crown prince will be stable. As for what will happen next, Your Majesty is in full swing, so you can take your time."
Indeed, my nephew is not simple!
Zhu Gaochi's position as crown prince was enthroned by Zhu Yuanzhang when he was alive.
Xu Jingchang nodded quickly, "As long as it is my aunt's order, my nephew will do it."
"Easy?" Queen Xu snorted: "There are no easy things in the fight for the throne, brothers are slaughtering each other and fathers and sons are against each other?"
The road ahead is still long!
Zhu Di pondered for a while, but finally did not have an attack. Instead, he squeezed out two words from his teeth and said, "Return to the palace."
Xu Jingchang called Zhu Gaoxu and hurriedly turned to Zhu Di and said, "Your Majesty, I just remember it vaguely. I have been addicted to my father's mourning a few days ago and cannot extricate myself. Now that Your Majesty is here, I occasionally think about it, but I don't know whether it is right or wrong. Now the edict of ascending the throne has been issued. I think Your Majesty seems to check first and whether what I said is right. Even if I am not wrong, please think twice before doing it..."
Xu Jingchang was stunned. Is he feeling that he was a little too smart?
"Aunt, what can you do if you say I'm going to do? My father is gone, and even if I can survive, I won't be reused. For such a big Xu family, I'm really trembling, walking on thin ice, and facing the abyss... How can I keep this family?" Xu Jingchang's voice was sad.
Queen Xu looked at her young nephew and said after a long time: "Child, I haven't seen you for four or five years. You have grown up so much and your mind is so amazed that my aunt is so amazed!"
This is the real nobleman!
Unfortunately, Xu Jingchang was not happy for a day. When the news came, Empress Xu had entered Beijing!
Xu Jingchang was also stunned. Before Zhu Di ascended the throne, he sent a letter to his aunt. It was not a shortcut to go from Peking to Yingtian. It would be nice if the Luan Jia could reach Xuzhou.
Xu Jingchang hurriedly saluted his aunt and quickly invited her into the study and sat down.
Queen Xu looked at her eldest nephew and said directly: "I won't talk anymore. You wrote me a letter and said two things, one is the eldest brother's affairs and the other is the second brother's affairs. You ask me what to do. I want to ask now, what are you planning?"
After saying that, Zhu Di left angrily. At this moment, he was like a volcano that could erupt at any time, and was extremely dangerous. But the unlucky Zhu Gaoxu still had to follow behind, waiting for the turbulent anger.
I sent my letter out, and it took only three days to make a decision. It was too fast, right?
Xu Jingchang was really guessed correctly. After receiving the news, Empress Xu only brought ten followers, took out the spirit of Prime Minister Cao chasing Uncle Liu, and rushed five hundred miles a day to Yingtian.
In the past few years, Empress Xu has led troops to defend the city, organized logistics, and comforted the people's hearts. She has also tempered it.
Queen Xu took a sudden breath, her face changed again and again, and finally sighed heavily.
Zhu Gaoxu was ruthless. For the sake of being the crown prince, he could kill his uncle without hesitation and kill the roots. When he became emperor, he would destroy his brothers and brothers!
In fact, Xu Jingchang has already expressed this meaning in the letter. It is precisely because of this that Empress Xu can't wait to see Xu Jingchang. The eldest brother's life is very important, but the struggle between the two sons made her exhausted and worried.
But even so, Xu Jingchang was in a good mood and even found a purple bamboo fishing rod left by his father. Just judging from the workmanship, Xu Zengshou was also a fun person.
"Jingchang, what you said is reasonable, but now all the generals in the army support the King of Han. I, a mother, cannot force Your Majesty to do things even if I have a bias. Do you understand my difficulties?"
Xu Jingchang was cheered up and said hurriedly: "Thank you, aunt, and my nephew dared to say that these two things are actually one. As long as you solve the position of crown prince and dispel the unreasonable thoughts of the King of Han, the world will naturally be peaceful."
"Don't call me the queen, it has not been officially enthroned yet. You call me aunt in your letter. This is kind, no matter when, it is a family." Empress Xu expressed her opinion.
The taste is so sour and refreshing. He can no longer care about the Xu family's affairs and just want to protect himself.
Finally, I can live a top-quality life of having no worries about food and clothing and fishing all day long.
"Your Majesty Jinghan, you won't have the Xu family." Empress Xu snorted, "Don't worry, with your aunt here, no one can bully the Xu family in the Ming Dynasty. I will write a letter to Gao Chi and tell him what you told me. You are also brothers, and I will support each other in the future, so my aunt will feel at ease."
After saying that, Zhu Gaoxu got up and was about to run outside. Killing people is secondly. The key is to escape from the angry Zhu Di as soon as possible.
It was all those treacherous and treacherous who violated the will of the ancestor and insisted on supporting Zhu Yunwen to the throne, which led to the Jingnan Campaign.
Moreover, after entering Beijing, he did not go to the palace and came to Xu's mansion directly.
Xu Jingchang thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Aunt, if you want, find a way to get a will."
Looking at their backs as they were leaving, Xu Jingchang wanted to go over and take a look. However, such a thing was related to Zhu Di's face. It was hard to show off before the emperor made a decision.
"It's either forged or made a draft edict. The general meaning is that Emperor Taizu wants to make the fourth son of the emperor the crown prince... and then in this edict, the fourth son, King Yan, and the emperor's grandson, Gao Chi, honest and kind, is enough."
"Get a copy?" Empress Xu was shocked, "You asked me to forge the will?"
I thought the Jingnan was successful and I would sit on the dragon throne. I had to listen to myself in the world, but now I saw that I thought it was simple.
Empress Xu was shocked again, thinking for a moment, and couldn't help but nod and smile.
By the way, Zhu Gaochi was added. As long as Zhu Di accepted this so-called will, Zhu Gaochi's position as the crown prince would be confirmed.
Empress Xu suddenly looked up, stared at Xu Jingchang, and snorted: "Why are you sure that King Han cannot be the crown prince? He is also my son. His Majesty likes him and has prestige in the army. Can't he become the crown prince just because he offended the Xu family?"
"What you said is reasonable, I will just tell Your Majesty directly? Is it appropriate?"
Xu Jingchang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Auntie, how dare I disagree with the relationship between mother and son of the Tian family? I just think that if the Lord Highness becomes the crown prince, these legitimate sons of my aunt will be safe and sound. But if the King of Han ascended the throne, with his style, I am afraid that I will not show mercy. Then the Xu family will not die."
Zhu Di raised his eyebrows. He had already believed 70%. Those civil officials who were still thinking about Emperor Jianwen might indeed use this method to give themselves eye drops.
Now that I am still mourning, I can’t go to Xuanwu Lake, so I’ll try it out at the pond in the back garden of Xu’s family.
In short, no matter whether people or things are involved, as long as you are involved in Lao Zhu, you will become sacred and inviolable.
Xu Jingchang nodded and said, "I understand, but I think this matter is not so troublesome and it is easy to solve."
"I pay homage to the Queen."
Xu Jingchang paused and said, "My nephew is still mourning. The key is the King of Han. I hope my aunt can take care of you."
"Take care of him?" Queen Xu was puzzled, "Aren't you supporting the boss?"
Xu Jingchang said: "That is the appointment of the crown prince, everyone is still a relative. He used Fang La's reign title incorrectly, and His Majesty was furious."
Hearing this, Empress Xu's anger suddenly rose...
