The daily life of the great grandson of Ming Dynasty

The soldiers and ministers directly moved the Fajialu book and the emperor's throne, which is to "force" Zhu Di to ascend the throne.

It stands to reason that Zhu Di had agreed to take the throne two days ago, and the soldiers and ministers did not have to force him to take the throne, but this drama had to be played again.

After all, Zhu Di did not ascend the throne justifiably.Although it has been rumored and even accepted by the outside world that he is the real emperor, he is not the heir appointed by Zhu Yuanzhang.Besides, he had been publicizing that his reason for sending troops was "on the side of the Qing emperor", in order to imitate the Duke of Zhou, not to be an emperor.Therefore, he will ascend the throne under repeated "persecution" by the soldiers and ministers.

He did not become emperor voluntarily, but the soldiers and ministers earnestly hoped that he would take the throne.

Zhu Di refused again, and the soldiers and ministers knelt on the ground, begging Zhu Di to ascend the throne again and again.If Zhu Di does not agree to ascend the throne, the soldiers and ministers will not be able to kneel for a long time.Zhu Di really had no choice but to agree to ascend the throne in the end.

With the support of the soldiers and ministers, Zhu Di sat on the throne of the emperor.Of course, he still needs to be modest, saying that he is not capable enough, and hopes that the soldiers and ministers can assist him in the future.

It is not good for Zhu Zhanji to sit in Zhu Di's arms, after all, today is the day Zhu Di ascended the throne.If he sat in his grandfather's arms, he would really destroy Zhu Di's majesty.

He was sitting on the same horse as King Zhou at the moment, staring dumbfounded at the scene that just happened.To be honest, he was embarrassed.His grandfather, soldiers, and ministers acted too exaggeratedly, without any real emotion.Not to mention anything else, just saying that when his grandfather sat on the imperial chariot, the soldiers and ministers actually cried, which is really too exaggerated.

Although he knew that the emperor would hypocritically decline before taking the throne, and declined repeatedly, but his grandfather had agreed to take the throne two days ago, and now he is staged to decline, which is really too fake.

Even if it was his grandfather, he still had to complain, the scene just now was so embarrassing, it gave him goosebumps.

When Zhu Di sat on the imperial chariot, all the soldiers and ministers knelt down and bowed to Zhu Di: "Your servants will see the emperor, long live the emperor!"

The sound of "Long live the emperor, long live, long live" resounded throughout the sky and shook the entire capital.

When the common people in the city heard "Long live the emperor, long live, long live", they all knelt down, saluted in the direction of the palace, and shouted: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

Zhu Zhanji felt extremely embarrassed a moment ago, but now he just feels excited.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live" was not the first time he had heard the words, but he didn't know why when he heard it now, not only was his blood boiling, but he was also very proud and touched, and had an urge to cry.

Sitting on the imperial chariot, Zhu Di was full of pride, and his heart became hot.From now on, he is no longer King Yan, but Emperor Ming, the Lord of the World.

Zhu Di took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and said with a majestic expression: "Ping Shen!" This sentence "Ping Shen" was like a thousand catties, and it hit the hearts of everyone present.

Last night, even not long ago, Zhu Zhanji felt that his grandfather was the same as usual, but at that moment, he suddenly discovered that his grandfather's identity had changed, he was no longer the king of Yan, but the emperor.

The soldiers and ministers present had long regarded Zhu Di as an emperor, even Dao Yan, but Zhu Zhanji did not.He always felt that his grandfather was his grandfather, not some emperor.But just now, he felt that his grandfather was the emperor of Ming Dynasty first, and then his grandfather.It was a strange feeling, and a little sad.

The strange thing is: Mingming is still his grandfather, but not just his grandfather.The sad thing is: before his grandfather was his grandfather, he was the emperor of Ming Dynasty first, and he himself was not only a grandson, but also a courtier.

His grandfather is the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, and everyone in this world is his courtier, including him and grandma.

Zhu Zhanji thought that his grandfather had been teaching him in his dreams that there was a difference between monarchs and ministers.Although he understood it, he didn't really feel it.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao in the dream are no longer the emperor and prince Yiwen, they are elders to Zhu Zhanji.In front of Zhu Zhanji, they were kind and kind, and never put on the airs of emperors or princes in front of him, so Zhu Zhanji didn't know what the difference between monarchs and ministers was.However, at this moment, he suddenly felt something.

Zhu Di is now the emperor, and Zhu Zhanji knows in his heart that the relationship between him and Zhu Di is first the relationship between monarch and minister, and then the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren.This realization made him feel uncomfortable.

Zhu Zhanji also knew in his heart that his grandfather would still love him as much as before and would not treat him as a courtier, but he also understood that when he grew up, he would no longer be willful in front of his grandfather.

He now has a feeling that [Emperor] has stolen his grandfather.

Zhou Wang noticed that Zhu Zhanji's face was not very good-looking. He thought he was frightened by the battle just now, so he quickly hugged him, patted his back lightly, and gently comforted him: "Zhanji, don't worry about it." I'm afraid, it's okay."

Zhu Zhanji leaned in Zhou Wang's arms, feeling sore for a while, and wanted to cry inexplicably.He knew it was wrong to think so, but he just couldn't help being sad.Fortunately, he knew that today was grandpa's big day, and also the most important day for grandpa, so he couldn't cry, so he suppressed his tears forcefully.

King Zhou patted Zhu Zhanji's back lightly while riding his horse.

When he got to the gate of the palace, Zhu Zhanji's mood recovered.However, I was still a little aggrieved.

No one was allowed to ride a horse in the palace except the emperor.

King Zhou got off his horse with Zhu Zhanji in his arms, and asked with concern, "Zhanji, are you feeling better?"

Zhu Zhanji smiled obediently at King Zhou: "Grandpa Fifth, I'm fine."

"That's good, Fifth Grandpa will carry you into the palace now."

As soon as King Zhou walked into the palace gate with Zhu Zhanji in his arms, he saw Ma Sanbao who was beside Zhu Di walking towards them.

Ma Sanbao first bowed to King Zhou and Zhu Zhanji, and then explained the purpose of his visit: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty ordered your slaves to take His Highness away."

King Zhou handed Zhu Zhanji in his arms to Ma Sanbao, and said, "Be careful."

"Don't worry, my lord." Ma Sanbao thought to himself that I don't know how many times I have hugged your highness, and I still need your orders. "Your Majesty, the servants will leave."

Zhu Zhanji was held in Ma Sanbao's arms and waved to King Zhou.

"Ma Sanbao, is there anything grandpa wants from me?"

"Your Majesty let you sit on his imperial chariot."

"Ah?" Zhu Zhanji was shocked, "Is it okay for me to sit on the imperial chariot?"

"Your Highness, there is no problem with your Majesty letting you sit." Ma Sanbao looked thin and weak, as if he had no strength, but he hugged Zhu Zhanji easily without any effort.

Seeing Ma Sanbao holding Zhu Zhanji and walking towards the imperial chariot, Zhu Gaoxu stretched out his hand and pulled Zhu Gaosui's sleeve: "Third brother, look, what is daddy going to do?"

Zhu Gaosui looked over, frowned immediately, and said in a low voice: "Father is too stupid, today is the day when he ascends the throne, how can he embrace Zhanji."

Zhu Gaoxu was so angry that his face was very ugly: "Father is crazy..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Gaosui reminded him: "Second brother, be careful with your words."

Zhu Gaoxu understood what Zhu Gaosui meant, shut his mouth immediately, and then opened his mouth again: "Father... I really don't know what he thinks."

At this time, Ma Sanbao had already walked to the imperial chariot with Zhu Zhanji in his arms.Zhu Di hugged Zhu Zhanji from his arms and let his precious grandson sit in his arms.

"Zhanji, just rode a horse with Grandpa Fifth, did you get scared?"

Seeing the familiar concern and love in his grandfather's eyes, Zhu Zhanji's grievances suddenly decreased a lot: "Don't worry, Grandpa, Fifth Grandpa has always hugged me."

Zhu Di asked again with concern: "You weren't frightened just now, were you?"

Zhu Zhanji raised his face and said, "Grandpa, am I such a timid person?"

Seeing the proud little grandson's appearance, Zhu Di couldn't help laughing, reached out and touched his little face and said, "Yes, yes, yes, our Zhanji is a man, very courageous."

"That's it." Zhu Zhanji's small expression was extremely proud, "Grandpa, although I'm not afraid, I have other feelings."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Di asked with great interest, "How do you feel?"

"Blood-blooded and proud." Zhu Zhanji's expression suddenly became very serious, "I am proud of you, grandpa, and I think grandpa is the most amazing person in the world!"

In front of the Xiaoling Mausoleum before, Zhu Di was very emotional when he heard the words "Long live the emperor, long live, long live", but now hearing the words of his grandson, the deepest and softest part of his heart was severely poked Down.

"Isn't grandpa the most amazing person in your heart before?" He asked deliberately.

"It used to be the same, but now the most, the most, the most..." Zhu Zhanji said several [most], "The most amazing person!"

Zhu Di stretched out his hand and pinched the tip of Zhu Zhanji's nose, and said with a doting smile, "You little sycophant."

"Grandpa, is it okay for me to sit with you?" Zhu Zhanji tilted his head, his face was full of doubts and uneasiness, "Today is the day when Grandpa ascends the throne, is it okay for you to hug me?"

"It doesn't matter, grandpa has the final say." Zhu Di teased, "You are not light, grandpa is afraid that your fifth grandpa won't be able to hold you."

Zhu Zhanji felt that what his grandfather said was right, nodded in agreement and said: "Grandpa Fifth is too thin, he must not be able to hold me."

On the imperial chariot, the grandfather and grandson chatted as usual, and the atmosphere was very warm.But the ministers and Zhu Gaoxu who followed the imperial chariot were not calm.

Some time ago, Zhu Di personally went to the pier to pick up Zhu Zhanji, and let the ministers see his love for Zhu Zhanji. They thought it was the greatest love, but they didn't expect it to be more than that.Today is the day of His Majesty's enthronement. On the way to Fengtian Hall, His Majesty actually went with His Royal Highness in his arms. This...is too flattering.

The gate of the palace is a little far away from Fengtian Hall, Zhu Di couldn't bear to let his precious grandson go to Fengtian Hall.

It is rare that Zhu Gaosui and Zhu Gaoxu have the same idea, they think Zhu Di is too messy.No matter how much you love Zhu Zhanji, you can't take him to Fengtian Hall on such an important day today.

This is not the first time Zhu Zhanji has entered the palace.Before Zhu Di came to the throne, he came to the palace.He felt that the imperial palace in Nanjing was different from what he had imagined.He vaguely remembered that the palace he had seen was not like this.

Zhu Di's turbulent mood has already calmed down.He is now in a very calm and relaxed mood. On the way to Fengtian Temple, he kept teasing his grandson.

When he reached the gate of Fengtian Hall, Zhu Di first handed Zhu Zhanji to Ma Sanbao, and then he got off the imperial chariot.

Zhu Di took off his outer robe, revealing the dragon robe inside.Immediately, he was the first to enter Fengtian Hall.

All the soldiers and ministers stopped, watching their Majesty step into Fengtian Hall.

Zhu Di walked very steadily with each step. Many images flashed through his mind, some of which were when he was a child, some of which he was appointed as a prince to go to war, and some of which he sent troops in the past three years.

Before Prince Yiwen died of illness, Zhu Di never thought of being emperor.At that time, he just wanted to be a good courtier, a good younger brother, and help his father and elder brother protect the northern border of Ming Dynasty.

When Prince Yiwen was alive, not to mention Zhu Di, even the other princes had no intention of becoming emperor.To be precise, they didn't dare to think about it, because they knew in their hearts how good and powerful Prince Yiwen was, and they also knew how much Zhu Yuanzhang valued Prince Yiwen.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was still alive, if Zhu Di and the princes thought about what they should do and wanted to pull Prince Yiwen to step down, there was only one way to wait for them, and that was death.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang is very kind and kind in front of Zhu Zhanji, he is very fierce and majestic in the eyes of Zhu Di and his sons.If they wanted to be unfavorable to Prince Yiwen, Zhu Yuanzhang would not spare them because they were his sons.Besides, the most important thing Zhu Yuanzhang lacks is his son. If he dies a few, or even a dozen, he will still have a son.

Zhu Di and the others knew in their hearts that the weight of all their younger brothers in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was not equal to that of Prince Yiwen alone.

This is why Zhu Di and his younger brothers were willing and obedient to be princes when Prince Yiwen was alive.

After Prince Yiwen died of illness, Zhu Di had the idea of ​​becoming emperor, but at that time he did not intend to take action. After all, the end of rebellion was not something he could bear.If Emperor Jianwen hadn't been bullying too much, he wouldn't have thought of sending troops to rebel.

To be honest, in the early days of sending troops, Zhu Di was not very sure of his victory. After all, he didn't have many soldiers under his command, which was far behind the imperial army.However, God favored him. Along the way, he has always won more with less.Several times he was in danger and almost lost his life, but in the end he saved himself.

Zhu Di recalled his journey and found that he was really blessed by heaven, otherwise he would not have succeeded.In other words, he was destined to be emperor.

Thinking that he was destined to be the emperor, Zhu Di suddenly became enlightened, and the guilt and uneasiness that had been hidden deep in his heart were greatly reduced.

With his head held high and his chest held high, with a solemn expression, Zhu Di walked step by step to the dragon chair in Fengtian Hall.

When he walked to the dragon chair, he reached out and touched the dragon head on the armrest, with a domineering smile on the corner of his mouth.He turned around and sat on the dragon chair very imposingly.

The soldiers and ministers were divided into two teams and walked into Fengtian Hall in an orderly manner.

Zhu Zhanji was led away by King Zhou.

As Zhu Di's younger brother and Zhu Gaoxu's elder, King Zhou naturally walked at the head of the team on the right.Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui walked behind him.

Zhu Zhanji followed King Zhou into Fengtian Hall, looked at Zhu Di sitting on the dragon chair, and immediately knelt down.

The soldiers and ministers all knelt in the Fengtian Hall and saluted Zhu Di who was sitting on the dragon chair: "Your servants will see the emperor, long live the emperor!"

The eunuchs and court ladies outside Fengtian Hall also knelt on the ground, and bowed in the direction of Fengtian Hall: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

From now on, the towering and majestic palace welcomes its new owner.Of course, the land of Daming also ushered in its new king.

Zhu Di sat on the dragon chair and said loftily, "Ping Shen."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

In this way, Zhu Di succeeded in ascending the throne.

The next step is to reward meritorious deeds, those who should be promoted to nobles, and those who should be named marquises.

[Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng, as Zhu Di's right-hand men, have not only made great military exploits along the way, but also saved Zhu Di's life countless times.Of all the soldiers, they are naturally the most credited.

Zhu Di named Zhang Yu the Duke of Rong and Zhu Neng the Duke of Cheng.Not only did Zhu Di confer titles on them as state dukes, but he also posthumously conferred titles on their fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers, which was extremely honorable and favored.

In addition to Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng, another person was also named Duke of the State, that is, Qiu Fu, who was named Duke of Qi.Others were granted the title of marquis or uncle.The rest of the others are rewarded in different grades, the first grade is extraordinary merit, the second grade is the first merit, the third grade is the second merit, and the fourth grade is the banner merit.

Zhu Di not only appointed them officials and nobles, but also rewarded them with silver taels and Wen Qi. 】 "Selected - Ming Cheng Ancestral Biography"

Those who received generous rewards were all those who fought with Zhu Di all the way. They lived and died for Zhu Di, so they should be rewarded heavily.

After conferring meritorious officials, Ma Sanbao began to read out the imperial decree again, which was for civil servants.

For civil servants who surrendered, Zhu Di would naturally reward them and arrange official positions for them.Basically, they have all been promoted, which is higher than the official position of Emperor Jianwen.

Some civil servants who were not reused by Emperor Jianwen in the past were also assigned important positions by Zhu Di.

After rewarding the soldiers and ministers, Zhu Di began to seal his family.

First of all, it is natural to canonize Princess Yan as the queen.Secondly, Zhu Gaochi was canonized as the prince.

When Zhu Zhanji heard the will of canonizing his father as the prince, he was taken aback because it was different from history.He had read his father's life in that golden finger book.After his grandfather became the emperor, he did not immediately decree that his father be canonized as the crown prince, but was canonized as the crown prince in the second year.

At that time, Zhu Di was reluctant to establish a prince for a long time, and the civil servants and military officials had a game.Civil servants supported his father, while military officials supported his second uncle.

Seeing that Zhu Di was reluctant to make Zhu Gaochi the prince, the military officials knew that he wanted to make Zhu Gaoxu the prince, and suggested to Zhu Di to make Zhu Gaoxu the prince.

The civil servants were naturally not to be outdone, and supported Zhu Gaochi as the prince one after another.

Zhu Di finally decided to make Zhu Gaochi the prince because of Xie Jin's words.He asked Xie Jin who was suitable to be the prince. Xie Jin said that Zhu Gaochi was suitable to be the prince, but he remained silent.Later, Xie Jin said "good grandson", and he made Zhu Gaochi the prince.

But now Zhu Di directly ordered Zhu Gaochi to be the prince, which surprised Zhu Zhanji.However, he thought about it again, now is not history, it is normal that it is different from history.

When Zhu Gaoxu heard that Zhu Gaochi was conferred the crown prince, he was naturally very unwilling.He originally thought that his father would hesitate and would not immediately confer the crown prince, but he did not expect his father to confer the eldest brother as the crown prince immediately without any hesitation.

Why? !

During the process of dispatching troops, he not only made great military exploits, but also saved his father several times.Several times he almost died trying to save his father.What did the elder brother do for his father? He just guarded the Beiping mansion, did not make any military exploits, and did not save his father.Just because he is the eldest son, he can be canonized as the prince?

Zhu Gaoxu was full of anger and dissatisfaction, but he didn't dare to show it.He who was named King of Han still had to kneel down to thank him.

Compared with Zhu Gaoxu's unwillingness, Zhu Gaosui seemed much calmer.He had already guessed that this would be the result, but this was not the final result.He was named King Zhao.

Then came King Zhou and King Ning.King Zhou was demoted to a commoner by Emperor Jianwen before, so Zhu Di naturally wanted to restore him as a prince, and of course give him a fiefdom.Although King Ning was not demoted to a commoner by Emperor Jianwen, Zhu Di, as the new emperor, of course had to make him a prince again.However, his fief this time is not in Daning, but in Nanchang.

King Ning was not surprised by this result.He would feel strange if Zhu Di still let him go to Daning.

Several other princes were also crowned kings again.Of course, there were also some princes who did not surrender and support Zhu Di, and were demoted to common people by Zhu Di.

The princes who have been re-appointed as kings, although they still have fiefs, their guards have been reduced a lot.

Zhu Di will not be as stupid as Emperor Jianwen and cut down the feudal vassal forcefully, but will reduce the prince's soldiers.In addition, some other restrictions made them unable to rebel even if they wanted to.

For these princes, the reduction in treatment will be reduced, which is better than cutting the vassal.

In this regard, the princes felt that Zhu Di was better than Zhu Yunqi.

As for Zhu Zhanji, he was not canonized.Although Zhu Di loves him very much, he cannot be canonized as the grandson of the emperor for the time being.

According to the rules established by Zhu Yuanzhang, the children of the royal family must be ten years old before they can be canonized.That is to say, Zhu Zhanji could not be canonized as the grandson of the emperor until he was ten years old, and Zhu Panxuan could not be canonized as the son of King Ning until he was ten years old.

The reason why it is set at ten years old is because if a child has a title when he is young, he may not be able to bear it, and his life will be shortened, or even die young.Furthermore, children are prone to die when they are young, and they may not live to be ten years old.

In fact, Zhu Di had thought about directly canonizing him as the grandson of the emperor, but in order to let his precious grandson grow up healthy and safe, he decided to wait until Zhu Zhanji was ten years old before canonization.

After conferring rewards, the next step is grand celebration.It took three consecutive days of celebration to end.

Three days later, order was restored in the court.

Now that Zhu Di is the emperor, his year name should also be determined.

The year name proposed by the civil servants is "Yongqing", which has a meaning of eternal clarity.However, Zhu Di didn't like this year name very much.

After Zhu Zhanji finished reading with Dao Yan in the side hall, he came to Nuan Pavilion to find Zhu Di.

He saluted Zhu Di first, then walked to Zhu Di's side, and saw a piece of paper with the word "Yongqing" on the imperial table in front of Zhu Di.

"Yongqing, what is this?"

Zhu Di picked up Zhu Zhanji and let him sit on his lap.

"This is the year name proposed by the minister."

Zhu Zhanji picked up the paper with "Yongqing" written on it, "Grandpa Huang, don't you like this year name?" In history, his grandfather's year name was not Yongqing.

"I don't like it." Although the meaning of the year name Yongqing is very good, it is not what Zhu Di wants.

Zhu Zhanji thought of his grandfather's year name in history, and blurted out: "Then it's called Yongle." In history, his grandfather was the famous Emperor Yongle.
