My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 3: Yongle
After the letter was delivered, Xu Jingchang felt at ease. Even if he couldn't save people, he did what he should do. At least outsiders couldn't blame him.

Next, I will wait for my aunt to come to Beijing to see what Xu Huizu's outcome will be... Anyway, it doesn't have much to do with me.

After the chaotic period of the new king's accession to the throne, I guess I should officially inherit the title.Zhu Di posthumously presented Xu Zengshou as Marquis of Wuyang, not the duke of the state. I don’t know if it’s because of a pair of dukes who misremembered, or he couldn’t do it all at once. Let’s try to be a Marquis first?
In short, I will definitely step into the ranks of nobles, which is still very high.

By the way, how should Xungui live?

Go to Qinhuai to listen to music, or go fishing in Xuanwu Lake?

How about going to Zijin Mountain to see the stars?
Looking up at the vastness of the sky and thinking about the universe, you know that Zhu Di and the Xu family are nothing but ants... How about getting some crystals, grinding astronomy and taking out a telescope?

Xu Jingchang's mind was flying high, and he wanted to be Xu Yuyu.

But just as he finished his lunch, Xu Yi ran in in a panic.

"My lord, Your Majesty has come with the King of Han."

Xu Jingchang was startled, Zhu Di is here?

He is so busy, it is difficult to meet him, why would he take the initiative to come to Xu's house?

Also, why did Zhu Gaoxu come here again? Could it be that he had let him know about delivering the letter?
"Xu Yi, what do you think of His Majesty's situation?"

Xu Yi's face was pale, and he said in a low voice: "My lord, I saw that His Majesty is very aggressive and has brought a lot of soldiers with him, don't you come here to inquire about crimes?"

"condemn?"

Xu Jingchang was taken aback, what crime did I do?Isn't it okay to write to my aunt?

He hurriedly got up and went to greet Zhu Di, only to see a mighty middle-aged uncle in military uniform, surrounded by guards, directly entered Xu's house, and Han King Zhu Gaoxu followed closely beside him.

No need to ask, this is Zhu Laosi who just ascended the throne of God.

Xu Jingchang was about to salute, but Zhu Di hummed directly, "Follow me."

Then Zhu Di went directly into the living room. When he arrived at Xu's house, it was almost like his own house.Xu Jingchang followed in, but he didn't dare to sit down, so he could only stand with his hands down.

Zhu Di looked him up and down, and suddenly said with a smile: "My boy, you have grown up, and you have become bolder. You forced me to abandon such a lot of government affairs, are you guilty?"

Xu Jingchang said honestly: "Your Majesty, I don't know."

Zhu Di was even angrier, and glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, "You tell him."

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't hold back for a long time, and said angrily: "You cover up Jianwen's party and intercede for Xu Huizu, do you still want to deny it?"

Xu Jingchang shook his head and said, "Hanwang Highness, what you said is unreasonable. I am writing a letter to my aunt to explain the situation, why don't you wait for my aunt to come to Beijing and ask her, but I wrote a letter to ask for mercy?"

When Empress Xu entered Beijing, it was too late, Zhu Gaoxu was furious, "You let empress mother know, it is clear that you want to protect Xu Huizu!"

When Xu Jingchang heard this, he was even more disapproving.

"Your Highness the King of Han, although you are my aunt's own son, and I am only a nephew, I am not close to each other, but I also want to say that my aunt understands the righteousness and married your majesty. As a woman, she also wears a strong and persistent guard to defend Beiping. Her whole heart is on His Majesty, as long as it is beneficial to His Majesty, she will definitely do it, and she will definitely not be confused because of her natal relatives. But you are whole-hearted I thought that my aunt would only protect my elder brother, but to be honest, I think it is very inappropriate for His Highness to think so."

"You!" Zhu Gaoxu was so angry that he wanted to slap Xu Jingchang, but Zhu Di was here, so he couldn't get angry.

"Father, this kid is talking nonsense, you can't let him go!"

Zhu Di frowned slightly, as if he didn't hear Zhu Gaoxu's words, instead he was thinking about his wife instead.In the past four years, it was not only me who suffered, but also Empress Xu.

On my side, uncles and nephews fought each other, and on the Xu family's side, the brothers stood on their sides. In the end, Xu Zengshou died tragically, and Xu Huizu was imprisoned. These two are the brothers of Empress Xu.

Zhu Di knew it well, otherwise he would have killed Xu Huizu long ago, why would he stay until today.

So when Zheng He said that Xu Jingchang had sent a letter to his aunt, Zhu Di was taken aback...Since he wrote to his aunt, why did he give me a chance?

Are you afraid that I will blame you?
This kid is interesting.

Zhu Di wanted to take a break from his busy schedule and come to Xu's house. After all, in his youthful memory, Xu's mansion was even more important than the well-regulated imperial palace.

It so happened that Zhu Gaoxu came at this time, and even brought several memorials from generals, saying that he wanted to punish the remnants of Jianwen in the army... There is no doubt that Xu Huizu was the target.

When Zhu Di saw him, he brought Zhu Gaoxu and told Xu Jingchang that he had written to his aunt.

Now Zhu Gaoxu was blown up, if the queen mother knew about it, how could he kill Xu Huizu?

If the Xu family's influence is not cleared, how can he install his troops?

Zhu Gaoxu hated Xu Jingchang more and more, wishing he could kill him together.

However, the one who has the final say is not him, but Zhu Di.

"Xu Jingchang, you understand the empress." Zhu Di said with a faint smile, "I want to ask you, if the empress comes to Beijing, what will she tell me, can you speculate?"

This was to test himself. Xu Jingchang had thought about the matter of Jing Nan, and he also searched through some of Xu Zengshou's letters. He found that it was really bad for Zhu Di to kill Xu Huizu casually, and it was not only because of Empress Xu.

But then again, as long as you are a human being, you can't help but use your emotions.

The Sima family is old and cunning, didn't they still do the thing of killing Mr. Gaogui in the street?
It is not unusual for Zhu Di to kill Xu Huizu who was against him in a fit of anger.

The key is to have someone of sufficient weight stand up and persuade Zhu Di to bring him back to his senses.

There is no doubt that Empress Xu is the only candidate.

But now that Zhu Di asked, Xu Jingchang could only resign himself to it, "His Majesty upholds the legacy of the Taizu, raises troops to calm difficulties, eradicates rape and evil, and responds to people. Although my uncle didn't wake up in time, it's just because he is a foolish and loyal man. It is not the same thing as the treacherous Xiaoxiao of Qi Huang and others, I dare to ask Your Majesty to distinguish carefully, so as not to kill a good minister unjustly."

As soon as Xu Jingchang finished speaking, the Han King Zhu Gaoxu who was next to him was overjoyed, and finally caught the flaw, he immediately said: "Father, this kid just said that he didn't plead for Xu Huizu, but now his fox tail is exposed, it is clear that he was with Xu Huizu all the way , this kid has bad intentions, he shields the traitor, and he hopes his father will learn from him!"

Zhu Di raised his head, looked at Xu Jingchang, and said with a calm smile, "What do you say?"

Xu Jingchang said: "Your Majesty, I don't want to talk about too complicated allusions, lest His Highness the King of Han has never heard of it. I just said that among the Three Kingdoms, Wang Yun eliminated Dong Zhuo, but he was unwilling to pardon his subordinates, which resulted in Xiliang soldiers In the rebellion, Li Jue, Guo Si and others took a desperate blow, hijacked the Emperor of Han, brutalized the living beings, and the great Han country was completely disintegrated."

"Now Your Majesty is facing the difficulties of Tianjing, and what you want to get rid of are just the rebellious ministers who bewitched Jianwen, such as Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, Lian Zining, Fang Xiaoru... As for Xu Huizu, he did not participate in the reduction of feudal clans, nor was he a confidant of Zhu Yunqi, but He is just leading the army according to the imperial decree. Although he is stupid, he is not a loyal minister of Ming Dynasty. If he is also dealt with as a traitor, what should the hundreds of thousands of Jianwen's former soldiers think? People's hearts come first, regardless of whether Xu Huizu is my uncle or not, this is what I always say."

These words are definitely spoken from Zhu Di's standpoint. Xu Huizu can be imprisoned and his title can be abolished, but he can't be executed for treason.

Zhu Di rolled his eyes and nodded slightly, "Your words make sense, let's put Xu Huizu's matter aside for now."

Zhu Gaoxu was shocked, what did you say?

Before his mother came to Beijing, just a few words from Xu Jingchang saved Xu Huizu?
"Father, Jianwen rebels against the party. It is time to cut the weeds and get rid of the roots. Otherwise, it will become a disease and cause endless disasters..."

"Shut up!" Zhu Di yelled angrily, "Second brother, don't forget, Xu Huizu is also your uncle, why is he so ruthless?"

This sentence scared Zhu Gaoxu so much that he didn't dare to say more, but his eyes were fixed on Xu Jingchang, and his anger was self-evident.

Zhu Di ignored him, but looked at Xu Jingchang with a smile, and praised: "What you said just now is very good and insightful. Your father died tragically, and my heart is like a knife. I have already surrendered." The decree is that the rebellion of the fourth year of Jianwen will be erased and changed to the 35th year of Hongwu, and then it will be officially changed to Yuan Yongle next year. From then on, we will only have fun. Don’t worry, with me here, I will never treat your family badly, so there is no need to be afraid Worry."

Change Yuan Yongle!

Xu Jingchang suddenly frowned. He seemed to have read somewhere that Zhu Di, the reign name of Yongle, had already been used by someone, and he was not a good person.

Do you want to tell Zhu Di about this?

But the enthronement edict has been announced, can it be changed?
Xu Jingchang was hesitating, but Zhu Di thought he had something on his mind, so he said curiously: "If you have anything to say, my uncle has the final say in the world of Daming now, and there is no problem that cannot be solved."

Xu Jingchang shook his head, and said in a low voice, "It's not about the subject, it's just that someone used the title of Yongle."

"Anyone used it? Who?"

It was difficult for Zhu Dijing to succeed, so he ascended the throne immediately, and the time was very hurried.Monk Daoyan, the mastermind, was still taking care of military supplies in the rear, and Empress Xu and Zhu Gaochi were even still in Beiping.

And the country here cannot be without a king for a day. After Zhu Di entered Yingtian, while restoring order, he had to make three requests and three concessions, worship Zhu Yuanzhang, and go through the enthronement process.

Time is tight and tasks are heavy.

The whole process was extremely busy.Even Xu Zengshou's funeral couldn't be arranged by himself.

As for the enthronement edict, it was just a prop for the enthronement process, and Zhu Di didn't think too much about it, so he asked Zhu Gaoxu to urge the officials of the Ministry of Rites to formulate it.

Then Zhu Di took a general look and found nothing wrong, so he announced it to the world.

Is there something wrong with this year number?
Zhu Gaoxu who was on the side was also anxious, "Father, there are so many academic officials, well-educated and full of knowledge, how can they not be compared to a child like him? The Yongle reign, there is absolutely no problem, and the servants will manage it personally, and there will be no mistakes!"

you did it

Xu Jingchang shook his head, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, Fang La used it before."
