Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 825
The Western Regions were in chaos, but the emperor was roasting and drinking grape wine in front of the fireplace in Yiwu Palace.

Anu is pinching the emperor's shoulders. Recently, she is tired of being beside the emperor every day, and she is extraordinarily gentle.

The strength of kneading is just right, as expected of a girl from Oirat who can ride a strong horse and shoot wild wolves, and has two hands.

Zhu Yihai opened the letter from the prince and looked at it with joy.

"Why is Your Majesty so happy?"

"I'm a grandfather now."

The crown prince and the crown princess gave birth to the eldest grandson of the emperor, a big fat boy who was very different. The crown prince sent a letter to congratulate his father and asked the emperor to name the grandson.

Anu felt a little sad when she heard that, the emperor has become a grandfather, but she has not yet conceived a child.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

"Hahaha, it's really worth being happy." Zhu Yihai was very happy. The young couple had been married for more than a year, and they gave birth to a baby so quickly, and they were quick. They had a baby half a year after marriage, and the first one was a boy. For everyone, this eldest grandson is very special.

The eldest son of the prince is also the eldest son of the emperor, and also the eldest grandson of the emperor.

The Ming Empire has a successor.

It has been more than a year since he toured the west, and the prince's performance in staying behind in Beijing has been good.

Thinking that I had two acute attacks of asthma this year, the most severe one was in Zhangye, he couldn't lie down and rest at night, he had to sit and lean to breathe. It calms down quickly.

But this reminded the emperor again that maybe he still couldn't escape the historical ending after all.

Even though he usually pays attention to exercise, there is no cure for this disease, and it will come anytime. It is good that he is young and strong now, but when he gets older, it may be difficult to resist.

Calculating the time, maybe he has about ten years left, so he can't help but feel urgent.

Fortunately, he ignored the opposition of some people and chose to appoint the eldest son of the emperor, Hongjia. Now the prince is doing well in all aspects. He is 16 years old and has given birth to the eldest son. He will be given another ten years to train and exercise. It should be more mature and able to take over.

Time is running out, and there are some things he has to do even more urgently.

What name do you give your grandson?

Zhu Yuanzhang's successors in each branch of the old Zhu's family have been determined long ago. King Lu's branch is Zhaotaiyang Dangjian.

Zhu Yihai himself is the ninth generation of Lu Fan, the tenth grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang is from the generation of Yizi, and the prince Hongjia is from the generation of Hongzi.

Now that the eldest grandson is born, that is the twelfth grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Zhenzi generation.

The [-] characters that Zhu Yuanzhang gave to Lu Fan back then are a poem. The literal translation means to open Taiping and require the Yang Qi to be strong. Observe and make offerings so that the life span will be long. Personal peace should be maintained.

Passed down to Zhu Yihai's grandchildren, it is Zhenzi, isn't it the time when Daming weakened and then revived again?

Vibration word generation.

The last character is also particular. It is named by the royal family, and the latter character must also be based on the five elements, according to the cycle of fire, earth, gold, water and wood. Hongmu, Hongzhu, etc. all bring wood.

According to the rules, the Zhenzi generation is now on fire.

Zhu Yihai picked up the pen, and Anu over there immediately polished the ink for him.

Pick up a pen and meditate.

After a long time, the tip of the pen fell.

Leave two large characters on the rice paper, Zhenye.

The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming, named Zhenye, the twelfth grandson of Emperor Taizu of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Zhenye.

The status of the eldest grandson of the emperor is really very honorable. After Zhu Yihai personally bestowed the name, he specially drafted the Taoist decree in person, and selected a master, attendant, lecturer, etc. for the eldest grandson of the emperor in advance, and directly arranged the treatment as a grandson.

As long as the eldest grandson is not too bad, when he is ten years old, he must be directly canonized as the grandson of the emperor.

Zhu Yihai, who was in a good mood, happily punched in the room.

After a while, the emperor calmed down a little, and sat down to read the memorial again.

I saw a secret memorial from Dongchang, which reported the basic situation of the prince when he stayed in Beijing, including the close contacts between the prince and Chen Qianfu, Zhang Mingzhen, Du Yinxi, Zhang Huangyan, Huang Zongxi, Gu Yanwu and others.

But after Zhu Yihai saw it, he just laughed.

The crown prince did intend to win over these ministers deliberately. Although these people originally had positions in the Eastern Palace and were specially chosen by the emperor as masters in the Eastern Palace, under normal circumstances, it is not convenient for the crown prince to have close contacts with foreign ministers. It is easy to cause unnecessary suspicion.

The emperor and the prince are equally prone to jealousy between father and son.

Fortunately, Zhu Yihai knew the prince well, and he also knew that his time might not be long, so he would not deliberately stop the prince from trying to build his own team.

It is impossible for him to live to be seven or eighty years old, and he will not have four or fifty years to live, so there is no need to worry that the prince will be eager to seize power after he is full-fledged.

In ten years, even if the prince is allowed to run the business, by the time his team takes shape, Zhu Yihai himself will be at the end, and it's time for the handover.

However, the prince is still too young after all, and lacks means in this aspect, so he is a bit blunt, and Chen Qianfu, Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi, Zhang Mingzhen, Du Yinxi and other ministers also know the boundaries, and they still maintain the deliberate wooing of the prince. distance.

There is no second day.

After all, the prince is only the crown prince.

Only Zhang Huangyan was the prince's father-in-law, and Zhu Yihai had told them both face to face more than once that he wanted Zhang Huangyan to assist the prince well and to assist the prince in the future, so he didn't avoid suspicion so much, after all, they were already bound together.

Young people are very courageous.

This is a good thing.

Zhu Yihai likes Zhu Hongjia very much. If he can live to be 80 or 30 years old, then perhaps in [-] or [-] years, the relationship between father and son may be tense or even jealous, but it is unlikely now.

If he could really live that long, he wouldn't be in such a hurry to choose Hongjia as the prince.

All the prince's actions are under the emperor's attention. What he can do now is under the emperor's intentional authorization. From the thousands of people in the East Palace to the prince, to the team of the East Palace, they are all ordered by the emperor.

A hero with three gangs, although the prince is now staying in the prison country, he really needs a confidant of his own.

Although Chen Qianfu was born in Juren, his ability is indeed outstanding. Before Zhu Yihai married Chen Qianfu's two sister-in-laws into the palace, the two were considered brothers-in-law. He is now the governor of the Central Plains. It can be seen that Chen Qianfu is both capable and young, especially a person who knows how to adapt.

However, Chen Qianfu had scruples and did not dare to approach the prince casually.

After thinking about it, Zhu Yihai took up a pen and wrote the imperial edict again.

Added the title of Chen Qianfu Shaobao and Prince Taibao.

He also specially ordered Chen Qianfu and his wife to enter the East Palace. Now the relationship is getting closer. The emperor directly let Chen Qianfu and the prince be tied together.

You don't have to worry about doing things in the future.

After thinking about it, Huang Zongxi, the governor of Shandong, Gu Yanwu, the governor of Guangxi, the granddaughter of Du Yinxi, a scholar, and the granddaughter of Zhang Mingzhen, a scholar, were selected as concubines in the East Palace.

These four heroes are all meritorious young men in their fifties, and they will be around sixty in ten years, and they can still help the prince to get on the horse and work for another ten years.

Zhu Yihai himself married the sister of Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu, the daughters of Du and Zhang, and now let the prince marry their daughter and granddaughter, so that these confidants of honorable ministers can support the prince with confidence.

Under normal circumstances, ordinary emperors would not behave like this.

But Zhu Yihai had to think about it.

In the end, Zhu Yihai handed over one of the three treasuries of internal funds to the crown prince to use at will. To form a team and build power, money is indispensable. Whether it is rewards or doing things, money is needed.

Anu was secretly shocked while watching.

The emperor really trusted and loved this His Highness the Crown Prince.

······
The cold wind howled.

The north and south of the Tianshan Mountains are still covered with ice and snow.

The sun rises in the east.

In the snow, several tents were opened, and a bearded man walked away from inside. He picked up a blanket and spread it on the snow, and then knelt down to worship.

The followers behind him also followed.

At this important moment, suddenly the snow shook slightly, and everyone who was disturbed turned their heads to look.

I saw a knight appearing on the silver-white snow in the distance, holding a banner high.

Apak and Zoydayetula recognized this as the flag of the governor of Turpan.

He wondered how the governor of Turpan knew about their arrival. He came secretly from Kashgar and his whereabouts were secretive.

Or is this just a cavalry patrol who happened to meet the governor of Turpan?
Maybe I was worrying too much, maybe it was because the situation was tense now, and there were more scout cavalry outside.

He prepared his speech in his heart.

But the next moment, behind the flag that the cavalry held high, another cavalry appeared.

One ride and two rides.

Three rides and five rides, ten rides and a hundred rides.

"Gilligis!"

A follower has recognized the hundreds of cavalry as the governor's guard cavalry under the governor of Turpan, the sturdy Giligis cavalry.

As soon as the words fell, the Jirijisi people had already rushed over.

Trot, trot, accelerate, gallop, charge.

Earthquakes.

The horses trampled and kicked up countless snow powders, and these hundreds of horses directly formed a wedge formation.

This is an offensive formation.

They charged.

A sense of powerlessness rose from the bottom of everyone's heart.

They only had a dozen or so cavalry, and it was too late to run in the face of the hundreds of Giligis cavalry who suddenly charged.

"Apak and Zhuo go!" a follower yelled.

The others rushed to lead the horses.

But it was too late.

The governor’s son Abdullah was the first to kill in full armor, and the horses rushed towards him. Some followers hadn’t even finished their prayers, and they had neither armor nor weapons. In a panic, some went to get weapons, some Going to lead the horse, some people hugged Apak and ran away.

Yidayetura also recognized Abdullah, a member of the royal family who was still his student and had once held him in high esteem.

But now, he raised his bow to him.

The bowstring is fully drawn, and an arrow is shot.

A follower stood up and took the arrow for him.

Another arrow came, but another follower blocked it.

The horse galloped close, and Abdullah swung his scimitar high.

At the age of seven, he followed his father Yu Sufu to travel north and south of the Tianshan Mountains. The leader of the Baishan faction who preached everywhere, saw the scimitar swinging by.

A human head flew high, blood spattering.

With one charge, the honorable Apak and his dozen or so entourages all fell down, and the tent was also pulled down.

Abdu got off his horse, took off his helmet, squatted on the ground, and stared carefully at the head on the snow. It was stained with blood and snow mud, but it was the familiar face.

He suddenly spat fiercely at the face that had once knelt down and stood up.

"Take everything you can, strip them naked, and throw them here to feed the wolves."

After arranging the scene as a robbery by horse thieves, Abdullah mounted his horse with [-] Giligis cavalry under his command, and hurried away.

The war starts, either you die or I die.
