The journey to the heavens starts from the underground station

Chapter 255 Hongxi Era
Those rumors, except for the last one that urged the old man to abdicate, the rest were not created by Li Yu in private.

At this point, Li Yu felt a little ashamed, and it was just a last attempt to complete the task. If you succeed, forget it.

As for the rest, those with ulterior motives took advantage of the fact that the three main halls were being struck by lightning.

These people are either dissatisfied with moving the capital, or veterans left over from the Jianwen Dynasty, who are taking the opportunity to make trouble.

Moving the capital to Beijing has affected the interests of many civil servants from the south of the Yangtze River and the founding dignitaries. He dare not say it clearly, making some rumors are disgusting and disgusting to the emperor. If the emperor really believes it, he will move back to Nanjing!
As for Prince Yiwen's lineage, it is true that the old man is not very kind to them.

After the fifth Zhu Yunxi Shouling was burned to death by fire, within a few years, the fourth Zhu Yunxi died on the high wall of Fengyang; in the same year, Zhu Yu, the king of Gu, died, and he caught Zhu Yuexiu, the king of Chongyang who was a descendant of the king of Shu, and was stunned. It is said that he is Emperor Jianwen, and he intends to rebel in his name. The result is that both the lineage of King Gu and the king of Chongyang who were cheated were demoted to common people and imprisoned in the high wall of Fengyang.

However, Zhu Yunxi lived inside the high wall of Fengyang, and misfortune came from the sky. Three years later, Zhu Yunxi died suddenly.

In Prince Yiwen's lineage, only the second eldest brother, Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunqi, survived, and was "imprisoned" in Jiming Temple, and has become a monk.

Predictably, although Zhu Yunwen was younger than Zhu Di, he estimated that he died before Zhu Di.

Those Jianwen veterans just wanted to improve the living environment of the third generation of Prince Yiwen's lineage.

"After so many years, your grandpa still doesn't believe me! I'm wrong if I do it, or I'm wrong if I don't do it, alas! What's the point of me being the prince! Forget it, I'll tell your grandpa tomorrow, please resign Assuming the position of prince, our family will respond to heaven."

Zhu Gaochi sighed, stood up suddenly, and went into the hall while crying.

Li Yu stared dumbfounded!

Dad, great acting skills!
Is he crying in aggrieved way?He was obviously crying for others to see!

Li Yu glanced at the little eunuchs next to him, hehe, there is no airtight wall in the palace, and the crying of the old man will reach the old man's ears in a short time!
Crying children have sweets!
Stunning!

The prince's affectionate performance was not in vain. The next day, the old man really issued a formal imperial decree, saying that the prince is not in good health, and the grandson will be in charge of the country for the time being. You can go to Chunhe Palace to visit the doctor.

This was used to calm the princeling's mind, and if he was allowed to visit the sick, it meant that the prince was "really" just in poor health, and it wasn't that the emperor had other thoughts.

In a blink of an eye, winter passed and spring came, and summer continued again and again.

Yongle 20 years At the end of the afternoon on June [-]th, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and there was the sound of rolling thunder from the horizon.

The weather was gloomy, and it was about to rain. Li Yu sat with the old man in the pavilion in the garden of the palace, waiting to enjoy the rain.

Before it rained, it was the most sultry. There were courteous maids fanning the grandparents and grandchildren constantly, and piles of ice cubes two feet square surrounded the place, bringing a little bit of coolness.

Summer ice was originally a luxury item. The ice used by the royal family was stored during the coldest winter. After a spring melted, there was not much left. Except for the emperor and the nobles in the harem to cool off, the rest Those who want to reward ministers have to pick and choose.

But since Li Yu created a large-scale saltpeter ice-making workshop a few years ago, and built a one-stop production line from large ice cubes to cold drinks, summer ice has become something that even a rich family can afford up.

If it weren't for the fact that saltpeter is a government-controlled product, it would be a felony for the private sector to mine and use it privately, and I'm afraid those gentry would be jealous of this business and get involved in it.

Zhu Di hummed a ditty, his mood was not affected by the weather at all.

Picking up a cup of iced yogurt dotted with raisins and other nuts, Zhu Di comfortably put a spoonful into his mouth and tasted it slowly.

"This dessert is good."

"Grandpa likes it, but he can't eat too much. If it's too cold, it will hurt the spleen and stomach."

"Understood, you are the one who talks too much and is long-winded."

Zhu Di waved his hands impatiently, and the wind picked up while speaking.

But after a few breaths, the wind was loud, there were several lightning bolts in the sky, and there was a sudden downpour of rain.

The court lady lowered the curtains around the gazebo to prevent the rain from splashing on the emperor and grandson, leaving only one place for His Majesty to enjoy the rain.

"Since the beginning of spring, this year's rain has been good, and it's a good year!" Zhu Di said with emotion: "The farmers in Shaanxi and Gansu..."

Click!

Before Zhu Di could finish speaking, suddenly a thunderbolt exploded above his head, and the emperor swallowed half of the sentence.

OK, so familiar...

Zhu Di's complexion changed drastically, and he immediately got up, pulled aside the curtain behind him and looked to the south.

However, in the pouring rain, there was blue smoke straight into the sky in the forward direction.

That is, heading towards the direction of the Three Great Halls!
Crashing, the serving maid and eunuch knelt down on the ground.

Zhu Di's face changed again and again, and suddenly he let out a long sigh.

Instead of looking at the direction in which he was facing, he sat back instead.

"Hey! The way of heaven is impermanent! There must be rumors in Beijing and China in the near future."

As long as it was struck by lightning in the previous dynasty, even if it wasn't the three major halls that were struck, it would be a great event if the lightning fell on secondary buildings such as the Wuying Hall and Wenlou.

"Uh... this, grandpa doesn't have to be intentional, this is a natural phenomenon!" Li Yu hurriedly gave a guilty conscience.

Zhu Di glanced at Li Yu with deep meaning, and said with a half-smile: "I'm afraid that some people with ulterior motives will use this matter to make some rumors! For example, Yongle Dynasty can't pass 20 years or something, you say that's right, monkey Boy, can you let Grandpa calm down?"

"Uh..." Li Yu was taken aback, when did the old man know?This matter, but I asked Ma San to spread it in the market privately through the mouth of a craftsman, and the factory guard actually found out the source.

What's more, Ma Si was also deceived!

"It's just a name, so I can't wait!" Zhu Di waved his hand, and the servants in the gazebo immediately ran out in the heavy rain.

This is a royal secret, if you hear it, there will be no good end.

"Uh... grandpa forgive me, grandson knows his mistake."

Since the old man knew it a long time ago, Li Yu didn't bother to quibble, it was indeed his fault.

"The six divisions and nine ministers all come from the prince's lineage, and the power of the government is in the hands of your father and son. Most of the military guards are secretly controlled by generals from your young army. Although you don't have the name of an emperor, you have the reality of an emperor. Grandpa Speaking of birth, one day your father and son will be unfilial, and grandpa will have to beg your father and son for a way to survive!"

Pfft!
Li Yu immediately knelt down and touched the ground with his head: "Grandpa, since my father, the Zhu family will never have unworthy descendants!"

"Get up!" Zhu Di didn't care, and stretched out his hand to pull Li Yu: "Grandpa is always at ease about the filial piety of your father and son, otherwise, he would not have delegated power to this point. However, grandpa is really curious, your father, Or you, just can't wait? Today, if you can convince grandpa, grandpa will really fulfill your wish!"

"Hmm..." Li Yu's face was serious, he pondered for a moment, stopped his words, and then explained the reason.

"Grandfather, my grandson wants to set rules for the future kings of Ming Dynasty."

"Gaozu of the Han Dynasty abolished Emperor Hui's heart in his later years; Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was tyrannical and suspicious in his later years, which led to the disaster of witchcraft; Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty was superstitious in alchemists in his later years; Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty favored Yang Guozhong and Anlu Mountain in his later years, resulting in the Anshi Rebellion."

"As for the great grandfather, after 25 years from Hongwu, no... if Lan Yu and Feng Sheng are here, we of King Yan's lineage, I'm afraid we can only think about it if we want to sit on the throne!"

"Huh! That's Jianwen's incompetence, he can't control good generals!" Zhu Di snorted coldly, but he didn't refute that he could beat these two on the battlefield.

This is a fact, if Jing Nan encountered Lan Yu or Feng Sheng commanding the southern army, the tens of thousands of people in the Yan army would have been dug and buried long ago!
"Grandpa said yes." Li Yu naturally would not refute.

"So you're trying to say that the emperor's old age will make him faint, which is not good for the country?" Zhu Di also understood the meaning of the eldest grandson's words.

"Yes!" Li Yu nodded: "The grandson wants to use this to set the rules for my descendants of the Ming Dynasty. If you are unable to do what you want, you should take the initiative to take the Zen position and hand it over to the young and powerful prince to govern the country. If the young are determined to forge ahead, then I am Ming. It will be the country of the prime of life forever."

Zhu Di snorted coldly: "Hmph, it's far-fetched, but it's hard to realize. You can't convince Grandpa with these alone."

"One more thing, my father is not in good health, and my grandson doesn't want him to end up like Prince Yiwen." Li Yu took out his trump card.

Although the prince has lost a lot of weight, he still has underlying diseases, especially high blood pressure, which is a ticking time bomb, ready to detonate the heart and brain vessels at any time.

But he himself is not temperate, he eats a lot of oil, salt, and sweet, and he always likes dancing girls, Li Yu can't stare at him all day, and the rest, who dares to care about the prince!

And the old man's body...

Li Yu changed the history, Oala Tatar Wuliangha has been pacified, the development of industry and commerce, the prosperity of the four peoples, and the grand event of Yongle. After fulfilling all his wishes in his life, the Yongle Emperor has long begun to cultivate his morality.She has no physical appearance and is not a womanizer. Although she is over [-] years old, her body is much stronger than that of the prince.

If Emperor Yongle didn't take the initiative to abdicate, Yongle's 30 years might not be gone, and the Hongxi reign would definitely be gone!

After being imprisoned for a lifetime, but in the end, he didn't sit on the throne for a day, and he would be wronged and cheated if he lay in the mausoleum, right?
"This..." Zhu Di was taken aback for a moment, closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, then suddenly sighed heavily.

At this time, the shower was about to stop, and the inner palace supervisor rushed to report that Fengtian Hall was struck by lightning, and the fire was extinguished due to the heavy rain, but a hole was broken in the southeast corner of the hall.

Zhu Di got up without saying a word, and patted Li Yu's shoulder without saying anything, and walked slowly back to the bedroom.

After nearly a year, Fengtian Temple was struck by lightning again, and rumors arose again in Beijing.

The mouth of Fangmin is worse than that of Fangchuan, Zhu Di still ignores it, but orders the Ministry of Industry to repair Fengtian Hall.

This time it was rumored that Li Yu did not engage in small tricks. He just silently instructed the craftsmen to install lightning rods on the roofs of the three main halls and all the main halls of the palace.

Although it affects the appearance slightly, it is indeed practical.

During this summer, there was a thunderstorm, and thunderstorms no longer threatened the palace buildings.

Everything seemed to have never happened, the old man never made a statement, Li Yu also put out this kind of thought, and turned his attention to the Eastern Expedition to the Japanese Kingdom.

The following month, with the delivery of the first ship of silver and Japanese women to Daming, the court of the Ming Dynasty was boiling. Realizing that there were indeed huge benefits to be gained, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies and the Ministry of War once again submitted a request for additional troops. The day before the Ghost Festival, One hundred thousand prepared Japanese soldiers set off from Dengzhou, and the soldiers with the fleet pointed to the Japanese country.

Yongle 20 years August [-]th, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor gives a banquet.

Twenty years after he ascended the throne, Zhu Di ordered the kings to go to Beijing to reunite in advance, and Zhu Gaoxu also returned to Shuntian Mansion with his family.

At the banquet, Zhu Di, who hadn't appeared in front of the courtiers for a month, suddenly said that he was lucky to have been on the throne for [-] years, and he didn't dare to ask for more.

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was frightened.

Especially the crown prince, who suddenly knelt on the ground trembling and kowtowed.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Di personally helped the crown prince whose legs were weakened by fright, and took the eldest son to sit on the dragon chair together.

All the princes and courtiers reacted differently, especially Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu, his face turned black, and the food he ate felt like chewing wax.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the prince was "frightened" and "couldn't get sick", and refused to visit the minister, so he hid in the Chunhe Palace and never showed up again.

Zhu Di knew what the eldest son was thinking. The prince had always been benevolent and filial, and he was afraid of making himself unhappy.However, this time I really passed on the throne from the bottom of my heart, and after careful consideration, I also think that what the grandson said is right.

If the eldest son really walks ahead of him, he will really let down his 20 years of hard work in supervising the country!
Forget it, the right to left and right has been given to him long ago, only the title of emperor is left, so let's just give it to him!
At the beginning of October, Zhu Di formally issued an imperial edict, setting the date of succession on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month of this year, and ordered the Ministry of Rites to be in charge of handling it.

Only now did the prince believe that the old man was sincere!
In a blink of an eye, it is the end of the year.

Shortly after returning to Beijing, the crown prince, who went to Fengyang, the central capital, and accompanied the capital Nanjing to worship the ancestral mausoleum, knelt down in front of Zhu Di at the enthronement ceremony held in Fengtian Hall on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, and received the Jade Seal of Chuanguo.

Take off the prince's court clothes, put on the twelve coats of arms that symbolize the identity of the emperor, and formally accept the worship of all officials.

Change the next year to the first year of Hongxi; respect Emperor Yongle as the Supreme Emperor; canonize the concubine as the queen, and canonize the grandson as the crown prince...Everything is properly handled according to the Zhangcheng etiquette system.

The Ming Dynasty officially moved from the Yongle era to the Hongxi era.

At the moment when the ceremony ended, Li Yu also officially received a reminder that the system had completed two tasks.

Letting the old man abdicate and become the emperor was done as a matter of course, and the second and third uncle's ambitions were dispelled, but it was also successful at this time?

Probably because the second uncle watched the dust settle, he had no more hope, and the last hope in his heart disappeared!
However, there is no difference between Hongxi and Yongle, just a different name.

The old man still doesn't care about state affairs, Li Yu still supervises the country, assists in handling the government affairs, and those people are still in the court.

In April, spring is warm and flowers are blooming. In the Qianqing Palace, Hongxi Emperor Zhu Gaochi only wore underwear and was sweating profusely.

As usual, Li Yu sat on the emperor's seat and helped his father deal with today's memorial; after reading a book, he looked up at his father and snickered a few times.

Zhu Gaochi's sweating was not doing something shameful. Although he liked it, he was not shameless enough to do it in front of his son. He was just exercising and losing weight.

Squats, sit-ups, push-ups - this is really embarrassing for Emperor Hongxi!

Zhu Gaochi didn't want to exercise, but he had to.

The old man grabbed a thin willow stick and sat behind Emperor Hongxi. While reading the novel leisurely, he still kept one eye on his eldest son.

Whenever Emperor Hongxi was a little slack and lazy, he just picked up a willow stick.

The wicker thing is not as thick as chopsticks, and it won't damage the body if it is pumped on the buttocks, but it will definitely hurt!

Fortunately, every time when exercising, the maids and eunuchs who were serving would retreat.

"Father! I am the emperor now! You can't..."

"Stop talking nonsense! This is Lao Tzu picking on his son! If you don't want your father to be sent by a white-haired man to a black-haired man, don't stop!"

Zhu Gaochi continued to exercise helplessly, but suddenly saw Li Yu who was snickering, and suddenly became angry from his heart.

"Little bastard, you gave your grandpa a bad boss... Ouch!"

Snapped!
"How dare you scold my grandson?"

Emperor Hongxi felt that the emperor was not smooth!Not even as comfortable as when I was the prince!
The reason lies in the old man who abdicated and became the Supreme Emperor.

The old man begged for everything and resigned. After a month or two of irritability, he finally decided to let go, and stopped meddling in state affairs completely!
However, he started to meddle in the eldest son's private affairs!

According to what Da Sun said, the root cause of the eldest son's poor health lies in his fat body!But no one can control the eldest son to lose weight.

This is easy to handle!

I just happened to be free!I can't really let my white-haired person send a black-haired person, right?
