My Daming New Empire

Although he launched the Jingnan Campaign and won the throne, it was a civil war.

In foreign wars, Bei Yuan, who was driven to Mobei by Zhu Yuanzhang, has not been able to handle it for more than ten years.

It has been a full ten years since Yongle started fighting Cochin in the fifth year, until this year, using feudalism as bait, Zhang Fu finally stabilized it.

Compared with Taisun's conquest of Japan in half a year, these achievements are far behind.

Although the opponent is his grandson, Zhu Di still can't accept this kind of comparison, because compared with his grandson, the so-called Wenzhiwugong seems to be compared.

When the Taisun won a great victory and the news of Dongying's royal family was captured alive, Zhou Na, the priest of the Ministry of Rites, said: "Today, the world will be in peace, the four barbarians will serve you, and the people will be rich. Please enshrine Mount Tai, engrave stones to record your merits, and pay your respects." All ages."

Lu Zhen, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, also said: "The emperor's sage, virtue and divine merit are clearly distinguished, and it is appropriate to enshrine Zen and Mount Tai as Zhou Ne asked."

But Zhu Di still rejected Feng Chan Taishan's suggestion, because he felt that the credit was not his own.

Moreover, from the performance of the ministers in the court, he also really felt the impact of his grandson's rise on him.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, this grandson has surpassed his grandfather.

This is unacceptable to him.

Therefore, he wants to build a bigger martial arts.

The Timur Kingdom that Zhu Zhanji mentioned is indeed far superior to the Bagu and Nanzhang he chose at the beginning, which also aroused his ambition.

Of course, he is not a person who cares about the head and the tail. If he wants to conquer a big country that dominates the Western Regions, he can't do it without complete preparations.

But he was even more afraid that this was a bait. When he trampled Timur Kingdom under his feet in the Western Regions, Daming was completely controlled by his grandson.

He still has great ambitions, and he doesn't want to be Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, so he can only retire in the deep palace in his last years.

So he deliberately used this incident to test his grandson's mind.

When Zhu Zhanji objected to sending troops now and had no interest in being able to supervise the country, he was very satisfied.

Although he is capable and ambitious, he still takes the overall situation into consideration, and he can not be arrogant and respect him as a grandfather.He couldn't ask for more from this grandson's performance.

Back in the palace, he summoned Hanlin scholar Yang Shiqi and asked him to write down the imperial decree. "There are 6000 guards in the government army, and priority is given to refitting with firearms to guard the grandson."

Yang Shiqi was eloquent, and in a short while he wrote a piece of imperial decree with brilliant literary talent. After using the big seal, he sent an eunuch to deliver the decree to Zhu Zhanji.

Since the guard of the government army was assigned to Taisun at the beginning of the year, the number of Taisun's guards has exceeded 1. Such a guard of honor is only slightly inferior to Zhu Di himself, far exceeding the 6000 guards of the Prince's two battalions.

However, although Habayashi Guard has changed his costume, the guard of the government army has not changed his costume yet, so Zhu Zhanji did not bring the guard of the government army with him at all in this expedition.

Giving priority to changing clothes for the guards of the government army now also means that Zhu Di intends to strengthen the power of the grandson.

When the eunuch was ordered to leave, Zhu Di pretended to be casual and said: "Yang Shilang, the grandson beheaded your eldest son Yang Ji, do you have any resentment in your heart?"

Yang Shiqi was stunned, and quickly knelt down and said: "The dog is useless, violated military discipline, and died. Although I was in pain, I never complained to His Royal Highness. A few days ago, I wrote a letter back to my hometown, ordering my second son Yang Dao Feng's grandmother went to Beijing. When he arrives in the capital, I will personally send him to the young army, and continue to pay homage to His Royal Highness Taisun."

Zhu Di nodded, approvingly said: "This is a very good move, you have a heart. You only have one son left now, but the reputation of the second son is far higher than that of the eldest son, which is considered your blessing. The imperial edict grants Yang Shiqi's second son, Yang Dao, an official Lang, join the young army to obey orders."

Although Jiang Shilang is only the penultimate rank of Wen Xun, he is also a Lord of the ninth rank. This means that Yang Dao will not be a citizen from now on, but an official.

Yang Shiqi thanked again and said: "My humble servant bows down to Your Majesty!"

Zhu Di smiled and said, "Don't blame the grandson, if I lead the army, your rebellious eldest son will not even want to live..."

"Weichen keep in mind"

After a day of meetings, Zhu Zhanji also felt exhausted when he returned to the palace.This is not physical fatigue, but the mental fatigue of having to adopt different attitudes and come up with different solutions in the face of different people and situations.

The East Palace is very lively today, because Zhu Gaochi is going to Beiping to sit in town, and he is packing for him.

Now that the canal is complete, you can go directly to Beitongzhou by boat from Yingtianfu.So although Zhu Gaochi has to travel far this time, it won't be very hard.

When he goes to Beiping this time, he will take a few older children to see the world, but the Crown Princess Zhang will not go with him.

Now that Mrs. Zhang is old, he is basically not favored. There are many young and beautiful women in his harem, so he will not be short of someone to take care of him.

Zhang's current energy is basically spent on assisting Concubine Zhaoyi to manage the harem, and then helping Zhu Zhanji manage the Xingqing Palace.The presence or absence of Zhu Gaochi has little influence on her.

Zhu Zhanji did not put all the gold and silver transported back from Japan into the warehouse. The loot exceeded 600 million taels, and 200% went to the army, which was almost [-] million taels.

Zhu Zhanji, as the coach, will get two to three hundred thousand taels no matter what.He just kept some gold and cultural relics, he didn't want a tael of silver, and gave all of them to Zhu Gaochi who was in financial constraints.

Zhu Gaochi has been living under Zhu Di's wing all these years, and he has no income in his hands. He is worse than King Han and King Zhao on his salary alone.

Among other things, his Zhanshi Mansion raised a large group of literati and inkmen, and every year his salary was spent seven or seventy-eight eighty-eight.There is also the human relationship between the concubines and their families in the harem. Every family must be courteous, so they have never been rich.

If it weren't for the princess Zhang and Zhu Zhanji who always subsidized him these years, he might have gone bankrupt long ago.

With 20 taels of silver in hand this time, he can be regarded as straightened, and he has gathered a large number of literati to prepare to go to Peking to do a big job.

Zhu Zhanji didn't bother to interfere with his affairs, and let him give advice enthusiastically after drinking some wine, just pandering to him.

Although he was confused about major matters, he was too timid to cross the line Zhu Di drew for him, so nothing major could happen.

As for trivial matters, as a nearly 40-year-old prince, he is actually smarter than anyone else, and no one can fool him.

Because he was going to Beiping, he was in a happy mood, and he was out of Zhu Di's shadow. Before the banquet was over, he drank a little too much.

Let two concubines serve him back to his room, and Zhu Zhanji is also going back to his Xingqing Palace.

Mrs. Zhang stopped him, and asked worriedly: "You actually killed Yang Shiqi's son directly? Yang Shiqi is now highly valued by your grandfather and father. He is also said to be quite talented. If you kill his son like this, don't be afraid." Are you divorced?"

This topic was discussed by the father and son at the wine table, and Mrs. Zhang had just heard about it, so she was a little worried.

Zhu Zhanji smiled and said: "Mother, don't worry, no matter how powerful a person is, he can't break the rules. I killed Yang Ji according to the rules. If Yang Shiqi didn't follow the rules, others would not recognize him. Talent is not worth mentioning."

"So... all right?"

Zhu Zhanji nodded firmly. "fine!"

For Yang Shiqi, Zhu Zhanji did not take it seriously.No matter how famous San Yang is, none of them can be as versatile as Yang Yanhe, Yu Qian, and Zhang Juzheng.

Now that the imperial power is concentrated, the ministers simply don't have the ability to wrestle with the emperor.If Yang Shiqi is disobedient, it's just a matter of one sentence, he will go home obediently.

The most important thing for him now is to quickly set up the bank's shelves before sailing to the west.

Back at Xingqing Palace, the lights in the side hall did not go out until midnight this night.

In the crisp autumn season, a long line of princely guards of honor drove a four-wheeled vehicle slowly into Zhangde Mansion.In the past, people avoid it.

In the carriage, King Jin Zhu Jixuan looked around for a while at the city gate of Zhangde Mansion, but lost interest.He nestled back into the arms of the beautiful woman behind him, tore off her skirt, and kissed her breasts, regardless of the woman's feelings.

"I thought King Zhao sealed a good place, but it's not as good as my Taiyuan Mansion."
