The daily life of the great grandson of Ming Dynasty

In the 13th year of Yongle, Zheng He returned from his fourth voyage to the West.Zheng He's voyage to the West was very successful this time. Not long after he came back, the Marin Kingdom in the African continent sent envoys to visit Daming and presented an auspicious beast named "Kirin" to Daming. 【From-Du Niang】

Hearing that the auspicious beast contributed by Ma Lin Kingdom is the unicorn, Zhu Di and the ministers are all looking forward to it, after all, everyone has never seen a unicorn.

The auspicious animal donated by Ma Lin has a very long neck and many markings on its body.When Zhu Di and the ministers saw this animal for the first time, they were very surprised.

Zhu Zhanji rolled his eyes speechlessly when he saw that the auspicious beast was a giraffe.Immediately said to Zhu Di, this is not an auspicious animal, but a very common animal on the mainland where the Marin Kingdom is located. It is called a giraffe, and it eats leaves.

The Ma Lin Kingdom donated common animals in the country, but claimed that it was the auspicious unicorn, which was clearly deceiving Daming.

Zhu Di and the ministers were very angry when they heard this.

The envoy of Ma Lin Kingdom did not expect that someone in Daming knew the giraffe, so he was frightened and took the initiative to plead guilty to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di naturally reprimanded the Marin Kingdom envoy severely, and said that if the Marin Kingdom dared to deceive or humiliate Daming, Daming would definitely not let it go.

Before Zheng He returned from his fourth voyage to the Western Ocean, Zhu Di took Zhu Zhanji to conquer Oala in the north.

In this Northern Expedition to Oala, Zhu Zhanji and his boy scouts performed very well.

Zhu Di led his boy scouts to attack Mahamu's army and killed Mahamu.

In this battle, Zhu Zhanji and his boy scouts became famous.

In fact, this is not the first time Zhu Zhanji has followed Zhu Di to the north, but Zhu Di did not allow him to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy before, after all, he was too young at that time.

Although he didn't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, Zhu Zhanji saw the horror on the battlefield and the ferocity of the Mongolian tribe.

This time Zhu Zhanji went to the battlefield, Zhu Di ordered him.Now that Zhu Zhanji is an adult, it's time to go to the battlefield.

It was the first time Zhu Zhanji really went to the battlefield, but he made such a great contribution, which Zhu Di did not expect.Although Zhu Di knows that his precious grandson has some talent in the art of war, Zhu Zhanji has never really been on the battlefield before, and he may talk about it on paper.

Zhu Zhanji, who was actually on the battlefield for the first time, was not only not afraid, but was very wise and steady, leading his boy scouts to take down Mahamu.

Mahamur is the leader of the Wala nobles and has a high status in Wala.Not only that, but his army is also very powerful.Before, the soldiers of Daming suffered a lot from him.But Zhu Zhanji was able to capture him alive.

Zhu Zhanji became famous in the first battle, allowing the generals to see his ability to lead troops on the march.Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng praised Zhu Zhanji for having Zhu Di's bravery back then.Zhu Di said that he was not as powerful as his precious grandson back then.

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui didn't expect Zhu Zhanji, a little bastard, to capture the leader of the Oirat nobles alive for the first time leading troops into battle, which shocked them very much.Not to mention anything else, just talk about themselves. They have followed Zhu Di for many years, and they have never captured the leader of the Mongolian tribe.

In recent years, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui have suffered a lot from Zhu Zhanji.This time Zhu Zhanji led troops to fight, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui also secretly made a trip, but it was not successful.

Because of Zhu Di's connivance, Zhu Gaoxu has become more and more arrogant in recent years, framing the prince Zhu Gaochi everywhere.If Zhu Zhanji hadn't helped his father out of the siege, Zhu Gaochi would have been very sad in the past few years.If nothing else, just say that Yang Pu will be imprisoned for ten years like in history.However, because of Zhu Zhanji's presence, Yang Pu was not imprisoned for ten years, but he was still imprisoned for a while.

In addition to Yang Pu, there is Xie Jin.If Zhu Zhanji hadn't protected Xie Jin, Xie Jin would have been killed by Zhu Gaoxu just like in history.

Xie Jin was one of Yang Shiqi and the others who clearly supported the prince Zhu Gaochi.He often praised Zhu Gaochi for his benevolence in front of Zhu Di, saying that Zhu Gaoxu was fierce, and repeatedly asked Zhu Di to let Zhu Gaoxu return to the fiefdom.Not only that, Xie Jin also participated in Zhu Gaoxu's arrogant and domineering actions in front of all the ministers.

Because of this, Zhu Gaoxu held a grudge against Xie Jin and wanted to put Xie Jin to death.Fortunately, Zhu Zhanji was there, otherwise Xie Jin would have died just like in history.

Because of this incident, Xie Jin became more loyal to Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Di turned a blind eye to Zhu Zhanji helping Zhu Gaochi and dealing with Zhu Gaoxu.Now that Zhu Zhanji has grown up, Zhu Di wants to see his ability to handle affairs.

Last year, Zhu Gaoxu's fief was changed from Yunnan to Qingzhou. This was what he proposed to Zhu Di, but he was still unwilling to go to the fief.Zhu Di had no choice but to let him go, but just this year, Zhu Di learned that Zhu Gaoxu had done a lot of rebellious things in recent years, so he was so angry that he demoted him as a bastard.

Originally Zhu Gaochi wanted to intercede for Zhu Gaoxu, after all, he was a brother, but Zhu Zhanji stopped him.

In history, Zhu Gaochi interceded for Zhu Gaoxu and saved Zhu Gaoxu from being demoted to the fate of common people.Zhu Di ordered Zhu Gaoxu to move to Le'an Prefecture. When he arrived in the fief, not only did he not appreciate Zhu Gaochi's pleading for him, but he also hated Zhu Gaochi more and more. After that, he actively planned a rebellion.

Zhu Zhanji told Zhu Gaochi that Zhu Gaoxu would rebel in the future.Zhu Gaochi didn't believe that Zhu Gaoxu dared to rebel at first, but Zhu Zhanji told him that Zhu Gaoxu would follow Zhu Di, which made him believe it.

Without Zhu Gaochi's intercession, Zhu Gaoxu did not escape being demoted as in history.Zhu Gaoxu was demoted to common people.

Zhu Gaosui couldn't help but panic when he saw that Zhu Gaoxu was demoted to a commoner.He originally wanted to plan a rebellion, but because of this incident, he had to give up this idea temporarily.

After Zhu Gaoxu was deposed, Zhu Gaochi, the prince, was not only not proud, but more cautious.Instead, Zhu Gaojiu was pushed out, and those who supported Zhu Gaojiu did not give up, but instead turned to Zhu Gaojiu.

Zhu Gaosui originally wanted to keep a low profile, but so many people turned to him at once, forcing him to show up.As a result, Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaosui confronted each other in the court hall.

Although Zhu Gaojiu replaced Zhu Gaoxu, he was more cautious than Zhu Gaoxu, and he was not as rampant as Zhu Gaoxu.However, like Zhu Gaoxu, he still finds fault with Zhu Gaochi everywhere.

Compared with Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaosui is much more difficult to deal with.However, Zhu Zhanji does not intend to deal with Zhu Gaosui like he did with Zhu Gaoxu.He had to keep Zhu Gaosui, if he didn't keep Zhu Gaosui, his father Zhu Gaochi's life would be more difficult, and the emperor's grandfather would be more suspicious of his father.

Zhu Gaochi also knows that Zhu Gaosui's life will be easier with Zhu Gaosui, so he is very tolerant of Zhu Gaosui's frame.

Because of this, Zhu Di was not so strict with Zhu Gaochi.

In addition to these things, many things have happened in the past few years.

A few years ago, Zhu Zhanji suggested publishing the "Yongle Dadian" and spread it among the people.In recent years, "Yongle Dadian" has been circulated more and more among the people, and many people have read it.

Just because literati, students and ordinary people can read "Yongle Dadian", they know the value of "Yongle Dadian".Because of this, the literati, students and common people knew what a great thing Zhu Di had done.Also because of this incident, Zhu Di's reputation among the people has improved a lot.

Before, Zhu Di's reputation among the people has deteriorated a lot because of the construction of the canal and the construction of the Beijing Imperial Palace.However, because of the "Yongle Dadian", his reputation has improved a lot.

In addition to being circulated among the people, a copy of the "Yongle Dadian" printed in the palace was also stored.

Also because the "Yongle Dadian" was spread to the people, the literary spirit of Daming was even stronger than before.This is what literati and scholars are happy to see.

Knowing that the "Yongle Dadian" was spread to the people was proposed by Zhu Zhanji, the literati and students were very grateful to him, which gave him a very good reputation among the people.

In recent years, apart from following Zhu Di to Beijing, Zhu Zhanji has also done a lot of things, such as building infrastructure and improving farm tools.

Infrastructure makes people's lives more convenient.

Improvement of farm implements increased food production.

Because of the increase in food production, many ordinary people have enough to eat.However, not everyone in every place has enough to eat.

Zhu Zhanji has been asking Zheng He to search for the American continent and bring back potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and peanuts.However, Zheng He did not go looking for the American continent in these years, but after returning from the voyage this time, Zheng He got a lot of definite news about the American continent.

Zheng He discussed with Zhu Zhanji and decided to go west next time.

Ocean to find the American continent.

In order to find the American continent, Zheng He did not rush to sea, but prepared to find the American continent.This time, we are going to find the American continent. We don’t know when we will find it, let alone what dangers there will be on the way, so we must be fully prepared.

During this period of time, Zhu Zhanji has been busy preparing for the search for the American continent.

On this day, as soon as he came back from the pier, he was called to Kunning Palace.

In the past few years, Queen Xu's body is still very healthy, and she rarely gets sick.Because it is well maintained, except for some white hair, there are not many wrinkles on the face.

Zhu Zhanji was also worried about Zhu Di's body, fearing that his grandfather would die on the way to the expedition as in history, and asked Jiang Wusheng to take good care of Zhu Di's body.

Over the years, Zhu Di's health has improved a lot under the care of Imperial Physician Jiang.However, Zhu Di has many problems left over from his youth, and even if Doctor Jiang is skilled in medicine, he can't cure these stubborn problems.Although it cannot be cured, it can be alleviated.

Physician Jiang told Zhu Zhanji that if Zhu Di wanted to live a long life, he had to cultivate well, and he could no longer be as tired as before.

In order to make Zhu Di less troublesome, Zhu Zhanji's ability to handle political affairs has become better and better in recent years.

Zhu Di is also willing to train Zhu Zhanji, and let him handle many political affairs.The current memorial is basically handled by Zhu Zhanji, unless there is something particularly important.

As the prince, Zhu Gaochi has not reviewed more memorials than Zhu Zhanji.He doesn't mind that Zhu Di reuses Zhu Zhanji instead of him.On the contrary, he was very happy that his son could be so reused by his father.Besides, if the son handles political affairs, his father can be lazy.Also, he knew in his heart that he, the prince, could not handle too many political affairs.Furthermore, if the son is highly valued, his father can also benefit from it.

Zhu Zhanji saluted Empress Xu first, and then asked, "Grandmother, what do you want me to do?"

"I asked you to come for something?" Empress Xu glared at Zhu Zhanji lightly, "You are so busy these days that you don't see your figure, it's not easy to see you."

"Grandmother, you also know that I am busy going to sea with Zheng He." In order for Zheng He and his party to find the American continent safely, Zhu Zhanji discussed with Zheng He to improve the combat capability of the Ming warship.

"You sunbathe on the pier every day, and I haven't seen you tan." Empress Xu joked, "Why are you getting whiter and whiter?"

Zhu Zhanji touched his face and said, "Grandmother, I am a natural beauty." Then, he put away the hippie smile on his face, and asked again, "Grandmother, what do you want from me?"

"Your life event."

"A big event in life?" Zhu Zhanji was startled, then thought of something, and asked quickly, "Grandmother, can you find me the concubine?"

"I found it. When she was born like you, she was a lucky girl."

Auspiciousness from heaven?

Zhu Zhanji frowned slightly, and asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Hu Shanxiang. She is a pretty girl with a gentle temperament and a dignified manner. She is a very nice girl."

Hu Shanxiang?

His first queen in history?

The evaluation of Hu Shanxiang in history is very good.

"Do you want to meet?"

Zhu Zhanji didn't refuse this time, nodded and said, "Then see you."

Empress Xu was a little surprised that Zhu Zhanji was so easy to talk, and looked at him in surprise: "Why are you so obedient this time, Miss Sun, you didn't want to see her before?"

"I don't see you this time. You will still let me see you later, Grandmother. I may as well see you directly, so as to save you from urging me to see you in the future." Zhu Zhanji said very helplessly.

"You're quite acquainted." Empress Xu smiled, "I've met Miss Hu before. She's a good girl, and she behaves very generously in every word and deed."

"This Hu Shanxiang is so praised by the emperor's grandmother, it seems that he is really outstanding, so I have to take a good look at it."

"It will not let you down."

Zhu Zhanji doesn't have high requirements for his concubine, just be like his mother and grandmother.

"Grandmother, I don't have time these days.

what. "

"Then when are you free?"

"After a while."

"Then I'll let you see Hu Shanxiang when you're free."

Zhu Zhanji talked with Queen Xu for a while and then left.He hurried back to Hongqing Palace and began to review the memorial.
