Bright Spring

Zhu Gaoxu said as he walked, "Prepare paper and ink, and take my letter to King Gu later."

"The general obeys orders." Chen Dachui turned around and said.

The two entered the study one after the other. Chen Dachui quickly found the inkstone to grind the ink, and then searched for rice paper, paperweights, brushes and other things.

Zhu Gaoxu sat down behind the desk and asked, "I told you to go and see what's going on in Jingqing's mansion, have you gone?"

Chen Dachui said: "The last general went yesterday, and asked someone to inquire about it. Yushi Jingqing went to the imperial city yesterday, and persuaded King Yan to be the emperor. Naturally, there is nothing wrong with the mansion. Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng and the people in Qitai's mansion were all arrested and sent to prison."

"I see." Zhu Gaoxu responded calmly.

Even the daughter of a scholarly family, who is willing to be a spy, Zhu Gaoxu doubts whether Jing Qing really surrenders.He also remembered what Xu Miaojin said about the righteousness of kings and ministers between Jing Qing and Zhu Yunqi... During the Hongwu period, Jing Qing was rescued by Zhu Yunqi, and he was already Zhu Yunqi's man at that time.

During the Jingnan period, Jing Qing had an affair with the King of Yan, which was obviously a lie.Now that he said he surrendered, he surrendered?

The more Zhu Gaoxu thinks about it, the more he feels chilly. What does Jing Qing want to do when he surrenders? !In the mansion where Zhu Gaoxu lives now, Lian Ying, the original owner, wanted to assassinate King Yan, what Jing Qing meant, did he want to do the same?

Zhu Gaoxu didn't worry about the life and death of King Yan at all, let alone a civil official who wanted to assassinate|kill King Yan might not succeed.What he was worried about was, Xu Miaojin!

Once Jing Qing reveals his true identity and wants to kill King Yan and arouse King Yan's anger, what will happen to Xu Miaojin?

Chapter 144 Yongle

On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, the third day after the Jingnan Army entered the capital, the King of Yan refused to persuade him to enter the capital several times and refused the consent of his officials, so he reluctantly ascended the throne in the imperial city and proclaimed himself emperor.

Because Emperor Jianwen self-immolated in Fengtian Hall and "collapsed", Fengtian Hall was burned down, and the enthronement ceremony was held in Fengtian Gate.Zhu Gaoxu accompanied the nobles of the clan, generals and ministers to watch the ceremony inside.

The interior of Fengtian Gate has already been properly arranged. On the dragon seat, a cloud plate and a yellow cloud cover that can receive the "Xianlu" are set up, and a scarlet carpet is spread on the ground, extending all the way to the outside of the gate.

The ministers and the musicians of the teaching workshop filled the Fengtian Gate. During the national mourning, the musicians did not play music, but there was pomp and circumstance.The bells and drums were beeping outside, and there was a magnificent momentum.

After a while, Zhu Di, who had already gone to the Taimiao to offer sacrifices, walked slowly onto the red carpet with his head held high, almost to the beat of a drum, and all the officials bowed down to serve him.I saw that Zhu Di was wearing a cumbersome uniform with complicated colors. He probably borrowed something left by Emperor Jianwen. Otherwise, it would be impossible to make such a complicated new clothes in a few days. Tamamo swayed gently with her steps.

Zhu Di walked up to the dragon chair step by step steadily, turned around, and sat upright, as if secretly exhaling a breath.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu and everyone knelt down one after another, kowtowed three times and bowed nine times, shouting "Long live" every time, and at the last bow, everyone said in unison: "My emperor lives forever!"

Zhu Di lifted his sleeves. He seemed not quite used to it yet, and his voice was very slow and cautious, "Everyone is flat." He flicked his sleeves vigorously, and looked through Fengtian Gate, as if he was inspecting the entire country!

Everyone said again: "Thank you, my lord!"

At this moment, the officials of the Hanlin Academy had stamped the seal on the edict of enthronement, sent it to Fengtianmen, and read it here first.After waiting for His Majesty's approval, it was handed over to the officials of Honglu Temple, and then sent to the Chengtian Gate in front to read to the subjects.

The new king ascends the throne and changes the Yuan to Yongle, starting from the first day of the first month of next year, which is the first year of Yongle.

A newly named era began from the moment the edict was promulgated.

...Emperor Yongle Zhu Di was a man of resolute action. Within a few days after he ascended the throne, he first adjusted the deployment of troops in the Gyeonggi area, took full control of Nanzhili, and then began to make a series of changes to the previous dynasty.

In the Jianwen Dynasty, those who opposed the reduction of vassal vassals, or those who had been suppressed and failed, quickly rose to the top, and a large group of civil servants who supported the new emperor appeared.The operation of various institutions of the imperial court can be roughly restored immediately.

As for those who were reused in the Jianwen Dynasty, the feng shui took turns, and now is the time to be unlucky.The enthronement edict was not drafted by Fang Xiaoru, Fang Xiaoru rejected the grace, so he was not far from death.

Then Zhu Di issued an edict to abolish all the decrees and state policies of Emperor Jianwen for more than three years, temporarily restore the strategy of governing the country during Hongwu, and said that he would restore the thrones of all vassal kings.

The Ming court had a new emperor, and those who led troops near the capital, such as Sheng Yong, surrendered one after another.Zhu Di issued an order to appoint Sheng Yong as the commander-in-chief of Huai'an, and he went to Huai'an to take over the territory guarded by his son-in-law Mei Yin; Mei Yin received a letter from Princess Ning, who had left Huai'an and was on his way back to Beijing.

Si Tiexuan, the former Minister of the Ministry of War and the chief envoy of Shandong Province, refused to surrender in Jinan, so Zhu Di decided to march in person.Zhu Gaoxu was also in the army, and was ordered to lead his headquarters and thousands of cavalry to accompany him. Zhang Wu was no longer under his control.

The feudal cavalry should return to the north soon, and Zhu Gaoxu's men and horses are only left with more than 3000 people, of which more than 1 are infantry.The troops under his control once reached more than [-] elite infantry, but most of them were sent by Zhu Di. Now that they have been divided slightly, Zhu Gaoxu has no strength.

……

The news that the Jingnan army had won a complete victory and entered the capital, and that Zhu Di had ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, had spread to Peiping by this time.The faction of King Yan's Mansion in Beiping cheered and congratulated, and the news quickly spread throughout the entire city of Beiping.

When the eunuch Wang Gui walked into the wine cellar, Miao Jin was a little surprised, because the eunuch was very cautious, for fear that she would escape, he never let the ladder go down, and he never entered the wine cellar.

Wang Gui clasped his fists and said: "Jing Nan Army won, King Yan is now the emperor. Our prince has ordered that as soon as the news of Jing Nan Army entering the capital, let our family release Master Chi Yue. For a while, if there is any ill-mannered or bad treatment, I will pay you off with more forgiveness...you can go now."

"What?" Miao Jin stood there with a blank face.

Wang Gui bowed again and said, "You can leave here now."

Miao Jin didn't come back to her senses for a while, and asked doubtfully, "Master Yan has attacked the capital, did I hear correctly?"

Wang Guidao: "That's right, it's true! Now the year name has been changed, and next year it will be called the first year of Yongle."

Miao Jin asked: "King Gaoyang is still in the capital?"

Wang Gui replied: "Yes, the lord went to war with the lord last summer, fought for half a year, and never returned to the county palace."

"Where am I going?" Miao Jin was even more at a loss.

"This..." Wang Gui thought for a while, "Our family can't control this matter. You can go back to Chiyue Temple or go to Yanwang Mansion. But I heard that Shandong is still in chaos. If you want to go to the capital, it is best Wait a while."

After he finished speaking, he gestured to the ladder at the entrance, "Please!"

Miao Jin said: "I'll pack something."

Wang Gui nodded and said: "Okay, let's go out first, and wait for Master Chi Yue outside. After a while, you can figure out where you want to go, and our family will drive a carriage to take you off."

Miaojin has lived here for a year!She was forced to do so at first, but after staying for a long time, she felt very sad when she suddenly had to leave.This place of confinement seemed to be isolated from the world, and she didn't know what she was nostalgic for, perhaps because the world outside had changed and made her feel very strange.

She put on the priest's robe first, then tidied up a few pieces of clothing casually, brushed her fingertips over the books on the desk, and sighed softly.Suddenly thinking of the embarrassment of being bumped into by Zhu Gaoxu when she was reading a filthy book, her face was still hot.

With a very strange mood, Miaojin walked up the ladder and opened the door of the utility room.Suddenly the sun was dazzling, she stretched out her hand to lightly cover her eyebrows, and looked at the long-lost scenery.

Miao Jin stood at the door for a while, thinking about the situation she was at a loss for, she couldn't help but glanced back at the cellar entrance, at this moment, she felt that there was nothing wrong with hiding inside.

But she knew very well in her heart that she couldn't be imprisoned inside for a lifetime.So after thinking about it, she asked Wang Gui to drive the car and take her to Chiyue Temple first.

It hasn't appeared for a year, but the female Taoist priests of Chiyue Temple are still there.Some of these Taoist priests were servant girls of the Jingfu, and some were homeless. Even if they were told to go, they didn't know where to go.

Miao Jin lived in Chiyueguan for a few days, trying to find a spy who had contacted the news and inquired about the situation in Jingfu, but she couldn't find anyone.When the Jianwen court fell, even the spies ran away.

At this time, people from the Yan Palace came to Chiyueguan to inquire, so Miao Jin had to go to the Yan Palace to meet Xu Wangfei.

Walking through the stone path, Miaojin couldn't help turning her head to look for the tree trunk that looked like a slingshot fork.There were green shoots on the treetops again. This was the second time in her memory that she saw the same scene.She remembered what she had said on this road, and she couldn't help being a little embarrassed: she walked slowly, but passed quickly.

Entering the courtyard where the princess lived, when Miao Jin saw Princess Xu, she saw that Princess Shizi was also in the room.

Concubine Xu looked Miao Jin up and down, but Princess Concubine Shi Zi spoke first, and asked with a look of surprise: "Where is my little aunt? There has been no news for half a year, and concubine mother often misses you."

"Last year, I met Master Zhang Zhenren outside the gate of Chiyue Temple, and I followed Zhang Zhenren to Mount Zhongnan, and lived in a Taoist temple on the mountain for a while." Miao Jin said indifferently, "Zhang Zhenren will come once in a while. My method of inner alchemy has the effect of strengthening the body. If the princess is interested, I will teach her the method of breathing."

"Yo! That's the magic of the gods!" Mrs. Zhang turned to Princess Xu with a smile, "If my mother learns it, she will surely live a long life."

Concubine Xu shook her head and said, "I don't know anything about Taoism, how can I learn it? But it is indeed miraculous that Master Zhang is alive."
