My Daming New Empire

After lying down, his spirit seemed to improve a lot, and his breathing became more stable.

But at this time, it was even more difficult for him to speak, and he could only spit out one word at a time.

Seeing him like this, Zhu Zhanji asked all his concubines, as well as his younger brothers and sisters, to come forward to say goodbye to him at once.

Everyone suppressed their emotions and kept themselves from crying.When it was Yang Shiqi's turn to step forward, Zhu Gaochi looked at Yang Shiqi's tearful face, showing a hint of shame.

And at this time, his last bit of energy was exhausted, and he closed his eyes with a trace of shame on his face.

The old eunuch Gong Qingfan who was guarding the bedside shouted tremblingly: "His Royal Highness... ascended to heaven... returned to the throne!"

There was a burst of crying immediately in the hall, and now that Zhu Gaochi had passed away, everyone didn't have to suppress themselves and started crying loudly.

The recorders were also busy, recording the time when he left, and noting who had seen Zhu Gaochi tonight and what had been said.

The system in the palace was perfect, and without Zhu Zhanji's arrangement, Gong Qingfan arranged for those servants to purify Zhu Gaochi, put on his shroud, and notify the ministries to prepare various ceremonies.

However, Zhu Zhanji only asked people to go to the Ministry of Rites in the capital, Honghe Temple, etc., and asked the court to cooperate with the servants to organize Zhu Gaochi's funeral.

Although he was a little sad, after all Zhu Gaochi died three years earlier, mainly because of him.

In the original history, he lived nine months longer than Zhu Di, and became emperor for eight months, but now, he died of depression without even touching the throne.

However, Zhu Zhanji also felt a burst of relief. It is best for him to die now. If he dies behind Zhu Di, it will add a lot of trouble to him.

Among other things, it is very difficult to let him take the throne for a period of time.

If he is not allowed to ascend the throne, the history books will definitely describe himself as a ruthless person who competes with his father for the position. Now, there is no need to be afraid of the history books.

Moreover, if he transitions to the throne and installs some of his own people, it will also make Zhu Zhanji feel uncomfortable.

Now, there is no need to worry about all this.

Gong Qingfan came to Zhu Zhanji's side at this time, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, His Highness the Crown Prince is gone, it's time to change clothes. Let the Crown Princess and the others stop crying, and the servants must also arrange for someone to cleanse the Crown Prince, put on the shroud, and return I want to move back to Beijing."

Zhu Zhanji glanced at Zhu Gaochi who was lying on the bed again, and sighed softly. "Young Master Gong is familiar with these etiquettes, and we all listen to your arrangements. Zhan Yong, Jiaxing, stop crying, support mother and concubine, and go back to the room to change clothes..."

(I finally wrote Zhu Gaochi to death, and the subsequent plots will speed up the progress. I need to write Zhu Zhanji as the emperor as soon as possible. It is 200 million words. The protagonist has not yet become the emperor, and it is indeed quite slow.)

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

On April 19, 27th year of Yongle, Prince Zhu Gaochi passed away, which calmed down the atmosphere in the capital that was still excited about the new scholars.

Before the red feathers of many restaurants were removed, they were immediately replaced with white cloths to express their condolences.

Although the prince Zhu Gaochi has never been in charge, his reputation of benevolence and filial piety has spread throughout the country and abroad, and he has a good reputation among scholars.

His death has no impact on the government, but among the people, the sensation is still relatively large.

Many people linked him with the former prince Zhu Biao and discussed, this Ming Dynasty, the crown prince!

Today's Daming has experienced three emperors, two princes, and both princes were blessed, and they died without ascending the throne.

However, Zhu Zhanji's throne is much more stable than Zhu Yunqi's. Although Zhu Yunqi had been trained as an emperor before Zhu Yuanzhang's death, he did not have the power to supervise the country like Zhu Zhanji.

Now Zhu Zhanji has been in charge of the country for more than a year, and he holds the civil affairs, military and political power in one hand.

Moreover, during the period of Zhu Yuanzhang, the vassal king was very powerful. He had 26 sons, a nephew, and several cadres, each of whom held great power.

After Zhu Di came to power, he continued Zhu Yunqi's policy of cutting down the vassals. Now the vassal kings are restricted one by one, and they no longer have any power.

Zhu Di also has only three adult sons, the King of Han has now been reduced to a commoner, and King Zhao has gotten into Qian's eyes every day, and no one will be a threat to Zhu Zhanji.

Therefore, although Zhu Gaochi, like Zhu Biao, is an unlucky prince, Zhu Zhanji, the grandson, is much stronger than the original Zhu Yunqi.

With Zhu Di still alive, the prince's funeral cannot be held in a big way.On the evening of April 27, Zhu Gaochi passed away, and the worship of officials began on the second day.

His body was sealed in a coffin, and he had to stay in another courtyard for seven days, and then transported to Linggu Temple in Zhongshan, where he was worshiped by officials and common people.

In other words, his body could not be transported back to the palace, but could only rest in the temple.As for how long to keep it, we still have to wait for Zhu Di's imperial edict.

According to the customs of Ming Dynasty, basically Zhu Di will not be buried until he comes back to take a look.

At the southern foot of Zhongshan Mountain, from Zijin Mountain to Linggu Temple, this area has been designated as the imperial mausoleum.

Now Zhu Di's tomb is already under construction, but this is the tomb Zhu Di chose for himself, and it is impossible for Zhu Gaochi's son to occupy it.

Therefore, many yamen also united to select Zhu Gaochi's tomb at the southern foot of Zhongshan Mountain.

In this matter, now that Zhu Gaochi has passed away, the Zhang family has a very large say.

The selection of the tomb was not random, it had to be in line with the dignity and priority of the entire Zhu family lineage.

Mrs. Zhang will be buried with Zhu Gaochi in the future, so she has a certain right to speak in choosing the tomb. As long as she does not violate the rules, her opinion will be decisive.

This also relieved Zhang's burden a lot. You must know that in this era, keeping filial piety is the hardest burden.

Due to the noble status, not to mention the entertainment of welcoming guests, just crying and mourning three times a day is extremely hard work.

Within five days, Zhu Zhanyin and Jiaxing's children fell ill one by one.

Even so, they still keep their filial piety when they are sick. The main reason is that they cannot get up because they are sick, so they have to stay in front of the spirit all the time.

Only Zhu Zhanji is more relaxed. He is the grandson of Jian Guo, and the country cannot live without a king.

As soon as the first seven days passed, he returned to Beijing with his spirit and deposited the coffin in the main hall of Linggu Temple.Zhu Gaochi's concubines and other children still have to stay in the temple to guard the spirit, and he can worship once a day.

Zhu Gaochi's mausoleum was chosen on a high hill between Zhu Yuanzhang's tomb and Zhu Di's tomb, because he was not an emperor, and the regulations were much smaller.

However, enough space is still reserved, because although he did not become the emperor, his father is the emperor, and his son will also be the emperor in the future. He will also be posthumously named emperor at that time.

Mrs. Zhang is also very satisfied with this place. In this era, people pay more attention to what happens after death than they do when they are alive.

The entire Yingtian Mansion banned entertainment for one month, and those brothels and boat theaters were closed for one month.

However, these venues have not been affected too much, because Jiaofang Division has allocated a lot of funds to rehearse Zhu Gaochi's death, which can make up for some of their losses.

When the whole capital fell into calm, the arrangements of Xie Zhenqi and the newly promoted Jinshi did not stop.

Xie Zhenqi was originally appointed as the editor of the Hanlin Academy according to the usual practice, but this time he was assigned to the Luzon Chief Secretary Dongshan Prefecture from Wupin Zhizhou.

Luzon is now divided into four parts. The northern part of the main island is bounded by the later Cordillera Mountains, and the east side belongs to the later Cagayan River Valley. It is a large plain. There are several provinces in the interior, all of which are plains. And Liangtian.

Due to its small population, it is only classified as one state, called Dongshan State.

This area has not yet been developed. In Zhu Zhanji's plan, this area will not only be the future rice and sugarcane production area, but also the main rubber production area.

Arranging Xie Zhenqi here, Zhu Zhanji also hopes that he can keep his heart and do something well.
