Daming: Spoilers about the future, Zhu Yuanzhang collapsed
Chapter 185 The Last Words of Emperor Yongle
Chapter 185 Emperor Yongle's Last Words (Triple in One)
"It certainly didn't go that smoothly. After all, the King of Han, Zhu Gaoxu, has always been obsessed with the throne. He can't give in so easily."
Han Cheng organized his thoughts, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not speak when he heard this, but nodded silently.
He knew this was the result!
The fourth child has been teasing his sons, but doing so is really dangerous.
Especially when the fourth child dies and is no longer able to control the situation, it is easy to cause trouble.
"On July 22, the 65nd year of Yongle, the [-]-year-old Emperor Yongle died of illness on his way back to Beijing from the fifth northern expedition.
The place of death was in Yumuchuan..."
Han Cheng's words silenced Zhu Yuanzhang.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang knew from Han Cheng before this that the fourth child lived to be 65 years old.
We also know that when Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, the fourth child passed away.
But now, when I heard Han Cheng say that the fourth child had passed away, I still felt uncomfortable.
No matter what, the fourth child is his son.
It's still the kind of son who has done a lot of things very well after he ascended the throne, and is very in line with his wishes.
Han Cheng glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, who shook his head, indicating that he was fine and could bear it, and motioned for Han Cheng to continue.
"Before Emperor Yongle fell seriously ill, he issued a posthumous edict to pass the throne to Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi.
At the same time, he gave Zhu Gaochi a jade seal and said: "The master of the people is upright."
It is extremely dangerous for the emperor to be away from the capital when he dies. If he doesn't do it right, it will lead to a catastrophe.
Had an earth-shaking impact.
For example, the first emperor died of illness during his eastward tour, resulting in the death of his son Fusu who was supposed to sit on the throne, and Qin Ershi Huhai ascended the throne, which directly made Daqin a mess.
A second generation came and died.
What's more, at this time in the Ming Dynasty, there was still a King of Han who had never given up on the throne. It can be said that the risk of staying is really small!
After the incident happened, the British Duke Zhang Fu and the cabinet minister Yang Rong did not announce the funeral secretly. They ordered everything in the army to go as usual and concealed the news from the outside world.
At the same time, Yang Rong and eunuch Hai Shou rushed to Beijing urgently to see the crown prince Zhu Gaochi and inform the crown prince of these matters.
When Zhu Gaochi learned the news, he was shocked and grieved. At the same time, he immediately sent his son Zhu Zhanji out of Beijing to attend the funeral on his behalf.
At this time, stabilizing the situation is Zhu Gaochi's top priority.
Zhu Gaochi has been the prince for many years, and has supervised the country many times, so he is very familiar with various things.
With a father like Emperor Yong Le who likes to be a shopkeeper, and the very careless King Han and King Zhao, Zhu Gaochi was forced to roll up long ago.
A whole set of skills has been developed.
He immediately took a series of actions.
On the second day of August in the 22nd year of Yongle, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi summoned the Minister of Civil Affairs, Jian Yi, the academicians Yang Rong, Yang Shiqi and other close people to discuss the deployment of defense matters.
At the same time, he also discussed various specifications and matters for Emperor Yongle's funeral with Lu Zhen, the Minister of Rites.
And urgently strengthen the defense of the capital.
Because of Emperor Yongle's northern expedition, the elite troops followed him.
The soldiers stationed in the capital were mostly old and weak, and their number was small.
At such special moments, a fatal crisis is created.
In order to protect the safety of the capital and prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to cause chaos at this time.
On the fourth day, Zhu Gaochi sent a letter and ordered the Marquis of Ningyang, Chen Mao, and the Marquis of Yangwu, Xue Lu, to lead the elite cavalry and gallop all the way back to Beijing.
Urgently increase the strength of the capital to stabilize the internal situation.
On August [-], Mu Xin, the Ma Duwei, was also ordered to take charge of the affairs of the Nanjing Rear Army Dudu Mansion.
This is someone Zhu Gaochi can trust.
At the same time, the eunuch Wang Guitong was ordered to lead an army to Nanjing to guard everything in the Nanjing Palace...
It was not until the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji welcomed the return of Emperor Yongle's body that the public funeral was held..."
Hearing what Han Cheng said, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.
Zhu Gaochi did a very good job on this.
It was well-founded and well-structured, and there was no confusion because of the sudden departure of the fourth child.
He is worthy of being the person who can make the fourth child a general in the Northern Conquest.
"What about Zhu Gaoxu? What is this guy doing at this time?"
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but ask.
At this time, what he is most worried about is that Zhu Gaoxu's grandson will come randomly.
"The King of Han is naturally dishonest, he has always been obsessed with the throne.
At this time, it was a huge opportunity for him. "
"Then...is our Ming Dynasty falling into war again?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked worriedly.
From Han Cheng's previous narration, he knew how capable Zhu Gaoxu was.
He is deeply valued by Wu Xun.
And because of some of Lao Si's operations, a lot of power gathered around him.
At this time, there is really a high possibility that there will be quite a bit of trouble.
There is a high possibility that Ming Dynasty will fall into war again.
"No."
"No?" Zhu Yuanzhang was a little surprised and a little surprised when he heard this.
This was very different from what he thought.
"It seems like Zhu Gaochi is quite capable!"
“Zhu Gaochi’s ability is indeed not small, but the reason why he can do this is not just because of his great ability.
One important reason is that many things were done well while Emperor Yongle was still there.
In the 13th year of Yongle reign, Han King Zhu Gaoxu was transferred to Qingzhou by Emperor Yongle.
But he still refused to go and said reluctantly: "What crime do I have? Leave me in a barren land"!
Emperor Yongle issued an edict urging him to join the vassal state, but Zhu Gaoxu still refused to leave.
Not only that, he also privately selected guards and recruited 3000 elite soldiers.
Later, he killed the commander of the soldiers and horses and used the royal chariots and horses for his own purposes.
In October of the 14th year of Yongle's reign, Emperor Yongle returned to Nanjing and learned that Zhu Gaoxu had violated the law dozens of times. He was furious, denounced him, stripped him of his official uniform, and imprisoned him in Xihua Gate.
Prepare to depose him as a commoner.
At this time, Prince Zhu Gaochi thought of his brotherhood and tried his best to plead for him in front of Emperor Yongle.
Emperor Yongle was obviously very angry.
Even so, Zhu Gaoxu was not completely let go.
He cut off two of Zhu Gaoxu's guards and killed some of his cronies.
In March of the 15th year of Yongle, Emperor Yongle moved Zhu Gaoxu to Le'an Prefecture and ordered him to set off immediately.
Because he had just been beaten, Zhu Gaoxu did not dare to resist and delay this time, so he had to surrender.
But after he arrived in the fiefdom, he was not honest, his resentment intensified, and he became more anxious to plan a rebellion.
Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi got some rumors and wrote many letters admonishing Zhu Gaoxu to be honest and not act recklessly.
But how could the King of Han listen?
Still working on this.
The death of Emperor Yongle was a God-given opportunity for the King of Han
But he did not seize this opportunity.
This is partly because Emperor Yongle had begun to gradually weaken Zhu Gaoxu's authority a few years ago, and eradicated and dismantled his closest associates.
On the other hand, the prince Zhu Gaochi is indeed very skilled, and he has many cronies in the court and China.
By this time, most of the ministers in the court belonged to the crown prince.
After all, he had not been the crown prince for nothing for so many years, and he had not been in charge of the country for nothing.
Coupled with the edict left by Emperor Yongle, it confirmed his position as emperor.
The result of the combined effect of the three is that it was not until Prince Zhu Gaochi succeeded in inheriting the throne and disclosed the news of Emperor Yongle's death that King Zhu Gaoxu of Han knew that his father was dead.
One can imagine how complicated Zhu Gaoxu's mood was when he received the news.
For the rest of the people, in this situation of a done deal, no matter how unwilling they are, they can only accept their fate.
Absolutely no further action will be taken.
But Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu was obviously not such a person.
After plotting for such a long time, how could one give up so easily?
This has become his obsession!
As soon as he learned the news, he sent his confidants to Beijing to wait for an opportunity to rebel.
But at this time, Zhu Gaochi, who had become the emperor, came into action.
He directly issued an edict for Zhu Gaoxu to return to the capital.
Such an ordinary move suddenly put pressure on Zhu Gaoxu.
Putting him in a dilemma.
After repeated weighing, Zhu Gaoxu still chose to enter the capital under the imperial edict.
After entering the capital, Zhu Gaochi did not kill him. On the contrary, he increased his salary and rewarded him with tens of thousands of treasures.
After the two brothers got along for a while, they ordered him to return to the domain of Le'an.
In October of that year, Emperor Renzong named Zhu Gaoxu's legitimate son Zhu Zhantan the crown prince, and the other sons were all named county princes..."
In Shouning Palace, as Han Cheng's voice fell, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart relaxed.
Ok!
fine! !
The thing he was most worried about did not happen. Zhu Gaochi and the others did not fight against each other because of the succession to the throne.
While I felt lucky, I also felt a little enlightened. I felt that I had been a little underestimated by the fourth child before.
That’s right!The fourth child himself started as a rebel, and he knows better than anyone else the dangers of a vassal king.
It's just a matter of teasing fools, how can we keep teasing them forever?
Some things have to be arranged after all.
If it weren't for the things Lao Si arranged later, he would still have powerful military power.
According to Zhu Gaoxu's performance, it may not be easy for him to be honest.
Zhu Gaochi couldn't handle him like that.
"Doesn't the fourth son have a third son? Isn't there any movement from him at this time?"
After being silent for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Han Cheng and asked, thinking of Zhu Gaosui.
Han Cheng said: "There is indeed no movement.
However, to be precise, it is not that there is no movement, but that there is some movement in advance. "
"Is there any movement ahead of time?" Zhu Yuanzhang was a little curious when he heard the words.
This doesn't sound quite in line with this guy's style.
"Although Zhu Gaosui acts arrogantly on weekdays, he is actually quite measured inside.
Otherwise, he would not be called an 'arrogant layman' in future generations.
In May of the 21st year of Yongle, Emperor Yongle fell ill once, and the illness was not serious.
At that time, the guard commander Meng Xian and others colluded with Qin Tianjian Wang Shecheng and the adopted son of the servant Yang Qing to forge the will and plan to poison Emperor Yongle to death.
He also abolished the prince Zhu Gaochi and made Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui the emperor.
Once the thing is done, they will be a complete follower of the dragon!
However, things still came to light.
Gao Yizheng, the in-law of General Banner Wang Yu, told Wang Yu the matter after planning a conspiracy for Meng Xian.
Wang Yu immediately complained to Zhu Di.
Then Meng Xian was arrested.
The false edict was found during the search, and Meng Xian and others executed him.
And Wang Yu was promoted to Liaohai Wei Qianhu.
At that time, Emperor Yongle asked Zhu Gaosui face to face: "Did you do it?"
Zhu Gaosui was trembling and was too frightened to speak.
The crown prince Zhu Gaochi tried his best to defend Zhu Gaosui, saying that this was done by a servant and Zhu Gaosui must not have known about it.
Since this incident, Zhu Gaosui's behavior has become increasingly restrained.
When Emperor Yongle passed away and the crown prince ascended the throne, he made no move at all. "
After hearing what Han Cheng said, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, finally understanding the whole story.
But are these people's rebellion sincere, or is it because after the fourth son got sick, he felt that he was old and considered that his sons would cause trouble in the future, so they specially designed it to beat Zhu Gaosui hard. This must not be done. And know it.
Anyway, judging from the results, this incident has a far-reaching impact.
Zhu Gaosui immediately stopped participating in the struggle for the throne in the future.
Reduces a lot of trouble.
It's hard to say that this is not the fourth child paving the way for the future.
It seems that the fourth child has considered all kinds of things, and he is really considered to be a very qualified emperor.
Years of being an emperor have already trained him.
"What's the matter with the arrogant layman? Why do your descendants call Zhu Gaosui like that?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Han Cheng and asked.
"This? This is mainly from a film and television work shot by later generations.
It is said that the king of Han colluded with the king of Zhao to prepare for rebellion.
Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui was preparing to occupy the strategic location of the gunpowder warehouse in one fell swoop under the pretext of inspecting the gunpowder warehouse.
As a result, he was blocked by the guarding general and refused to let him in.
Zhu Gaosui immediately became angry.
He shouted loudly: 'Arrogant! ! '
Prepare to force your way in.
Then the guarding general said to Zhu Gaosui: There is a will.
Zhu Gaosui, who was extremely arrogant and domineering just a moment ago, was instantly intimidated.The tone of his voice dropped instantly.
He looked at the guard and said: I haven't been here tonight, so he left in a hurry.
Although it was made up by movies and TV shows, it became popular all of a sudden because of its vivid image. "
After saying this to Zhu Yuanzhang, Han Cheng suddenly remembered that the third child of Zhu Di's family had already been born at this time.
If I have a chance in the future, I can teach this child how to be arrogant.
It was so!
After hearing Han Cheng's explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang understood why Zhu Gaosui was called an arrogant layman.
According to Han Cheng, it is indeed interesting and joyful to think about the scene at that time.
"Oh, by the way, when the fourth child died, apart from leaving a will and enthroning the crown prince, did he leave anything else behind?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking very outside the box. One moment he was talking about the arrogant layman, and the next moment he changed the topic to Zhu Di.
"I really did have other last words."
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's question, Han Cheng remembered it.
"What last words?"
Zhu Yuanzhang seemed somewhat impatient.
As the saying goes, when a person is about to die, his words are also good.When a bird is about to die, its song is mournful.
Don't think too much about the last words left by an emperor like the fourth child at the end of his life, they must be very important.
"Xia Yuanji loves me."
What the hell?
Han Cheng, what does this mean?
How could he make Xia Yuanji love him so easily?
Who is Xia Yuanji?
This kid is already engaged to his daughter, and now he still says in front of his face that Xia Yuanji loves him?
What is he trying to do?
Looking at Han Cheng who suddenly said such a meaningless sentence and then kept silent, Zhu Yuanzhang was confused at first, and then his eyes stood up and became like blades.
This kid is a little flustered!
"Let us tell you the fourth son's last words. What do you mean when you say that Xia Yuanji loves you?
Is Xia Yuanji your sweetheart in future generations?Why don't you remember the past here in front of us and confess to your sweetheart? "
Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was very unkind.
"Let me tell you, since you have come here and made an engagement with my daughter, you can only have my daughter in your heart, and no one else!"
Feeling Zhu Yuanzhang's cold gaze on him, and listening to what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Han Cheng was confused for a moment.
"Not Your Majesty, who misses the past? Didn't you ask me to say the last words of Emperor Yongle?
I'm talking about Emperor Yongle's last words! "
"What?!!"
There, as his future father-in-law, Zhu Yuanzhang warned the brat who wanted to take advantage of his own cabbage. When he heard this, he felt a buzzing in his head and was stunned.
"This...are these the fourth child's last words? What the hell is this!
Why are the donkey's lips so different from the horse's mouth? "
Even a person like Zhu Yuanzhang was instantly shaken by Zhu Di's last words.
"Any more?"
Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down and looked at Han Cheng to ask.
"No more. According to historical records, Emperor Yongle became silent after saying such a sentence."
"This... Who is Xia Yuanji? Could it be that the fourth child married later? When he was dying, he still couldn't forget it?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little confused.
I originally thought that a person like the fourth child must have a high opinion when he is dying.
Who would have thought that his last words would be this?
"No, Xia Yuanji was the Minister of Household Affairs during the Yongle period."
Han Cheng revealed Xia Yuanji's true identity.
What the hell? !
After learning the identity of Xia Yuanji, Zhu Yuanzhang felt even more confused.
The fourth child didn't say anything else before he died, and he just said this sentence. What does this mean?
"Xia Yuanji was an important minister of the Five Dynasties of the Ming Dynasty. Counting, he began to serve as an official in the [-]th year of Hongwu.
It spans the five dynasties of Hongwu, Jianwen, Yongle, Hongxi and Xuande.
During your Majesty's Hongwu Dynasty, this person was quite important and rose to prominence in the Ministry of Household Affairs.
During the reign of Emperor Jianwen, because he was serving as an official outside, he had little involvement in the Jingnan Campaign.
Later, Emperor Yongle ascended the throne and appointed him as the Minister of Household Affairs in the first year of Yongle.
I trust him very much.
And Xia Yuanji is indeed very talented.
The position of Secretary of the Ministry of Finance is not easy to sit in. He is a doormat. There are so many things going on that ordinary people can't handle them at all.
But Xia Yuanji is competent.
When Xia Yuanji was the Minister of Household Affairs, Emperor Yongle did many great things, such as the conquest of Annan, the construction of the Yongle Grand Ceremony, five personal conquests, the construction of the capital of Peking and the relocation of the capital...
Each of these things costs a lot of money.
Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Household Affairs, played an indispensable role in this.
In the winter of the 19th year of Yongle, Emperor Yongle was planning another large-scale expedition into the desert.
He ordered Xia Yuanji to discuss relevant matters with Lu Zhen, Minister of Rites, Fang Bin, Minister of War, and Wu Zhong, Minister of Industry.
The result of the discussion was that it was not appropriate to send troops.
Before they had time to present their memorial, Emperor Yongle summoned Fang Bin first.
Fang Bin tried his best to say that the cost of raising troops was not enough, and Emperor Yong Le was very unhappy when he heard that.
So, he summoned Xia Yuanji again to ask about the situation of border defense reserves.
Xia Yuanji's answer was: he has sent troops year after year, but they have returned without success, and eight or nine tenths of the army and horse reserves have been lost.
Coupled with the continuous occurrence of famines, it can now be described as internal and external difficulties.
Besides, your holy body is not in good condition and needs to be nursed back to health.
If Your Majesty really wants to go on an expedition, please send your generals to go on an expedition. Your Majesty must never go on an expedition by himself.
Obviously, this result was not what Emperor Yongle wanted to hear.
He, who was already unhappy, became even more unhappy.
He immediately ordered Xia Yuanji to go out to manage Kaiping's grain reserves.
Then he summoned Wuzhong.
As a result, Wuzhong went in and said the same thing as Fang Bin.
Emperor Yongle was even more unhappy
I feel that Xia Yuanji played a big role in this matter.
So Xia Yuanji, who had just left the country not long ago, was recalled and imprisoned in the internal prison.
Later, the Dali Temple Prime Minister and Zou Shiyan were also imprisoned.
The reason why this person is concerned is that he once acted as an agent for the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Fang Bin was frightened and committed suicide.
The more Emperor Yongle thought about it, the angrier he became. He felt that these important ministers he relied on did not understand his good intentions of persisting in the northern expedition again and again.
So they ransacked Xia Yuanji's home again and confiscated everything except the coins given to him..."
After listening to Han Cheng's words, Zhu Yuanzhang finally understood what kind of existence Xia Yuanji was.
He also suddenly understood why the fourth child would say such a sentence before he died, which sounded a little out of his head.
The fourth child was on his deathbed, and he regretted it a bit. He also knew that the advice Xia Yuanji gave him back then was really for his own good, and he was thinking about him...
However, Xia Yuanji was quite capable, and he was actually an important minister of the Five Dynasties!
If you calculate it this way, wouldn't this guy have to live to his seventies or eighties?
"So... what about Zhu Gaochi during his tenure? How many commendable things did he do?"
After being silent for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Han Cheng and asked again.
“The Yongle period of Emperor Yongle was known in history as the Yongle Prosperity.
When Emperor Renzong and Emperor Xuande ruled, it was called the rule of Renxuan.
Generally speaking, after Zhu Gaochi came to the throne, he made a series of policy adjustments.
During the reign of Emperor Yongle, major actions were taken one after another. To be honest, they had already overdrawn a lot of the Ming Dynasty's national power.
Especially the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes have depreciated too much.
The situation in China is relatively serious.
And Emperor Renzong has a relatively generous temperament, has been dealing with internal affairs, and knows internal affairs very well.
In addition to the many courtiers, they are not willing to fight outside at this time.
Therefore, many methods were used to resume production and adjust Ming's national policies.
He appointed and dismissed some officials he valued, pardoned the old ministers of Emperor Jianwen, and the families of officials who had been exiled to the border during the Yongle period.
and allow them to return to their original places.
Restoring the titles of some ministers eased internal conflicts.
He also adopted Xia Yuanji's suggestion and canceled Zheng He's planned sea voyage.
The tea and horse trade at the border were cancelled.
We also stopped sending missions to Yunnan and Cochin to purchase gold and pearls...
On the whole, it was from him that the Ming Dynasty changed its proactive and outward-looking policy to a conservative one.
These policies do sound a bit unpleasant, but when combined with the financial situation of the Ming Dynasty at the time, the Ming Dynasty is indeed somewhat unable to continue to support foreign wars and needs some recuperation..."
After hearing what Han Cheng said, Zhu Yuanzhang was also a little depressed after what Zhu Gaochi did.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, many of the things that the fourth child did were in line with his taste.
As a result, all this was stopped by Zhu Gaochi.
This is really uncomfortable.
But think about it. During the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had been attacking outsiders. Later, when the Han Dynasty's own financial problems became difficult, he could barely accept Zhu Gaochi's doing so.
"Is there anything else?"
"Yes, that was in the first year of Hongxi's reign, when he was planning to move the capital back to Nanjing.
He didn't like Beiping. He felt it was too far north and too close to the barbarians outside the territory. He didn't have much interest in the Northern Expedition.
In addition, he has been supervising the country in Nanjing for a long time and is familiar with the situation in Nanjing.
The cost of maintaining the northern capital was also expensive.
This fee greatly increased the burden on the southeast of the Ming Dynasty, and it also made it difficult for various imperial departments to cope.
These are the reasons why he wants to move back to Nanjing.
And at that time, because Emperor Yongle had only moved for less than five years, many courtiers still missed Nanjing very much.
Very supportive of this decision.
It is said that this move is also an important measure for Xia Yuanji and other senior officials to transfer resources away from the northern border.
And Zhu Gaochi has obviously meant this since he took the throne.
Because at this time, he had set up a garrison in Nanjing and sent his trusted generals and eunuchs to take command...
In April of the first year of Hongxi, Zhu Gaochi ordered all government departments in Beijing to act accordingly.
Half a month later, he sent the crown prince Zhu Zhanji to Nanjing to pay a visit to your mausoleum and stay there to take charge.
At that time, there was an earthquake in Nanjing, but he did not give up the idea.
Although he is relatively tolerant, he has his own opinions on many things.
The trip to move the capital is proceeding rapidly under his leadership..."
"So, our Ming capital has become Yingtian again?"
After finishing speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang felt something was wrong again.
"Didn't you say before that since the fourth emperor moved the capital, the Ming Dynasty ushered in an era in which the emperor guarded the country and the king died in the country?
Looking at it this way, it is equivalent to saying that Zhu Gaochi failed to move the capital this time, or that the subsequent emperor moved the capital back to Peiping again? "
Zhu Yuanzhang was more inclined to think that in the future, another emperor would move the capital back to Peking.
Because at this time, Zhu Gaochi, as well as many important officials in Zhu Gaochi's court, wanted to do this.
Unless the fourth child jumped out of the coffin board, no one could stop him in this matter.
"It's because the capital move was unsuccessful."
Didn't the capital move succeed? ! !
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard this.
what is this?
Could it be that at the critical moment, the fourth child rose up from the coffin and stopped this operation?
It's impossible, right?
If this could really be the case, he would have done this long ago when Zhu Yunwen did a series of bastard things, and deposed Zhu Yunwen, his grandson!
"What's going on? Could it be that at the last moment, Zhu Gaochi suddenly changed his mind?"
Zhu Yuanzhang really couldn't understand.
"No, it's...he died before this operation started..."
What? !
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened.
What Han Cheng said about his sudden death was really unexpected for him.
How could such a good person pass away just like that? !
"This...he didn't last long as the emperor, right? Why did he die?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a confused look on his face, and was completely confused by this sudden news.
"It's true that he didn't last long as emperor, he died in ten months.
As for the reason for his death, he was not in good health.
Otherwise, Emperor Yongle would not have given Zhu Gaoxu the illness of his son, so you should be able to help him. "
Died after only ten months? !
Died after only ten months? ! !
Even though Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Zhu Gaochi had been in poor health since childhood, at this time, the news told by Han Cheng still made his whole head buzz.
On the whole, Zhu Gaochi's ability is quite good. He also hopes that Zhu Gaochi can be like Yongzheng in the Tartar Prince, take care of internal affairs and accumulate strength for the Ming Dynasty.
Eliminating the hidden dangers left by Lao Si and leaving a more solid Ming Dynasty for future generations has become an extremely important part of the Ming Dynasty.
But who would have thought that he would pass away in just ten months!
This……
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what to say for a moment.
God really does not bless the Ming Dynasty!
The side hall of Shouning Palace once again fell into silence.
"According to what you said, Han Cheng, Prince Zhu Zhanji is in Nanjing at this time, Zhu Gaochi died suddenly, and Han King Zhu Gaoxu is still there. Under such circumstances, I'm afraid Zhu Gaoxu will not be able to help but take action, right?"
After being silent for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Han Cheng in a tired voice...
(End of this chapter)
"It certainly didn't go that smoothly. After all, the King of Han, Zhu Gaoxu, has always been obsessed with the throne. He can't give in so easily."
Han Cheng organized his thoughts, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not speak when he heard this, but nodded silently.
He knew this was the result!
The fourth child has been teasing his sons, but doing so is really dangerous.
Especially when the fourth child dies and is no longer able to control the situation, it is easy to cause trouble.
"On July 22, the 65nd year of Yongle, the [-]-year-old Emperor Yongle died of illness on his way back to Beijing from the fifth northern expedition.
The place of death was in Yumuchuan..."
Han Cheng's words silenced Zhu Yuanzhang.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang knew from Han Cheng before this that the fourth child lived to be 65 years old.
We also know that when Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, the fourth child passed away.
But now, when I heard Han Cheng say that the fourth child had passed away, I still felt uncomfortable.
No matter what, the fourth child is his son.
It's still the kind of son who has done a lot of things very well after he ascended the throne, and is very in line with his wishes.
Han Cheng glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, who shook his head, indicating that he was fine and could bear it, and motioned for Han Cheng to continue.
"Before Emperor Yongle fell seriously ill, he issued a posthumous edict to pass the throne to Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi.
At the same time, he gave Zhu Gaochi a jade seal and said: "The master of the people is upright."
It is extremely dangerous for the emperor to be away from the capital when he dies. If he doesn't do it right, it will lead to a catastrophe.
Had an earth-shaking impact.
For example, the first emperor died of illness during his eastward tour, resulting in the death of his son Fusu who was supposed to sit on the throne, and Qin Ershi Huhai ascended the throne, which directly made Daqin a mess.
A second generation came and died.
What's more, at this time in the Ming Dynasty, there was still a King of Han who had never given up on the throne. It can be said that the risk of staying is really small!
After the incident happened, the British Duke Zhang Fu and the cabinet minister Yang Rong did not announce the funeral secretly. They ordered everything in the army to go as usual and concealed the news from the outside world.
At the same time, Yang Rong and eunuch Hai Shou rushed to Beijing urgently to see the crown prince Zhu Gaochi and inform the crown prince of these matters.
When Zhu Gaochi learned the news, he was shocked and grieved. At the same time, he immediately sent his son Zhu Zhanji out of Beijing to attend the funeral on his behalf.
At this time, stabilizing the situation is Zhu Gaochi's top priority.
Zhu Gaochi has been the prince for many years, and has supervised the country many times, so he is very familiar with various things.
With a father like Emperor Yong Le who likes to be a shopkeeper, and the very careless King Han and King Zhao, Zhu Gaochi was forced to roll up long ago.
A whole set of skills has been developed.
He immediately took a series of actions.
On the second day of August in the 22nd year of Yongle, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi summoned the Minister of Civil Affairs, Jian Yi, the academicians Yang Rong, Yang Shiqi and other close people to discuss the deployment of defense matters.
At the same time, he also discussed various specifications and matters for Emperor Yongle's funeral with Lu Zhen, the Minister of Rites.
And urgently strengthen the defense of the capital.
Because of Emperor Yongle's northern expedition, the elite troops followed him.
The soldiers stationed in the capital were mostly old and weak, and their number was small.
At such special moments, a fatal crisis is created.
In order to protect the safety of the capital and prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to cause chaos at this time.
On the fourth day, Zhu Gaochi sent a letter and ordered the Marquis of Ningyang, Chen Mao, and the Marquis of Yangwu, Xue Lu, to lead the elite cavalry and gallop all the way back to Beijing.
Urgently increase the strength of the capital to stabilize the internal situation.
On August [-], Mu Xin, the Ma Duwei, was also ordered to take charge of the affairs of the Nanjing Rear Army Dudu Mansion.
This is someone Zhu Gaochi can trust.
At the same time, the eunuch Wang Guitong was ordered to lead an army to Nanjing to guard everything in the Nanjing Palace...
It was not until the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji welcomed the return of Emperor Yongle's body that the public funeral was held..."
Hearing what Han Cheng said, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.
Zhu Gaochi did a very good job on this.
It was well-founded and well-structured, and there was no confusion because of the sudden departure of the fourth child.
He is worthy of being the person who can make the fourth child a general in the Northern Conquest.
"What about Zhu Gaoxu? What is this guy doing at this time?"
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but ask.
At this time, what he is most worried about is that Zhu Gaoxu's grandson will come randomly.
"The King of Han is naturally dishonest, he has always been obsessed with the throne.
At this time, it was a huge opportunity for him. "
"Then...is our Ming Dynasty falling into war again?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked worriedly.
From Han Cheng's previous narration, he knew how capable Zhu Gaoxu was.
He is deeply valued by Wu Xun.
And because of some of Lao Si's operations, a lot of power gathered around him.
At this time, there is really a high possibility that there will be quite a bit of trouble.
There is a high possibility that Ming Dynasty will fall into war again.
"No."
"No?" Zhu Yuanzhang was a little surprised and a little surprised when he heard this.
This was very different from what he thought.
"It seems like Zhu Gaochi is quite capable!"
“Zhu Gaochi’s ability is indeed not small, but the reason why he can do this is not just because of his great ability.
One important reason is that many things were done well while Emperor Yongle was still there.
In the 13th year of Yongle reign, Han King Zhu Gaoxu was transferred to Qingzhou by Emperor Yongle.
But he still refused to go and said reluctantly: "What crime do I have? Leave me in a barren land"!
Emperor Yongle issued an edict urging him to join the vassal state, but Zhu Gaoxu still refused to leave.
Not only that, he also privately selected guards and recruited 3000 elite soldiers.
Later, he killed the commander of the soldiers and horses and used the royal chariots and horses for his own purposes.
In October of the 14th year of Yongle's reign, Emperor Yongle returned to Nanjing and learned that Zhu Gaoxu had violated the law dozens of times. He was furious, denounced him, stripped him of his official uniform, and imprisoned him in Xihua Gate.
Prepare to depose him as a commoner.
At this time, Prince Zhu Gaochi thought of his brotherhood and tried his best to plead for him in front of Emperor Yongle.
Emperor Yongle was obviously very angry.
Even so, Zhu Gaoxu was not completely let go.
He cut off two of Zhu Gaoxu's guards and killed some of his cronies.
In March of the 15th year of Yongle, Emperor Yongle moved Zhu Gaoxu to Le'an Prefecture and ordered him to set off immediately.
Because he had just been beaten, Zhu Gaoxu did not dare to resist and delay this time, so he had to surrender.
But after he arrived in the fiefdom, he was not honest, his resentment intensified, and he became more anxious to plan a rebellion.
Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi got some rumors and wrote many letters admonishing Zhu Gaoxu to be honest and not act recklessly.
But how could the King of Han listen?
Still working on this.
The death of Emperor Yongle was a God-given opportunity for the King of Han
But he did not seize this opportunity.
This is partly because Emperor Yongle had begun to gradually weaken Zhu Gaoxu's authority a few years ago, and eradicated and dismantled his closest associates.
On the other hand, the prince Zhu Gaochi is indeed very skilled, and he has many cronies in the court and China.
By this time, most of the ministers in the court belonged to the crown prince.
After all, he had not been the crown prince for nothing for so many years, and he had not been in charge of the country for nothing.
Coupled with the edict left by Emperor Yongle, it confirmed his position as emperor.
The result of the combined effect of the three is that it was not until Prince Zhu Gaochi succeeded in inheriting the throne and disclosed the news of Emperor Yongle's death that King Zhu Gaoxu of Han knew that his father was dead.
One can imagine how complicated Zhu Gaoxu's mood was when he received the news.
For the rest of the people, in this situation of a done deal, no matter how unwilling they are, they can only accept their fate.
Absolutely no further action will be taken.
But Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu was obviously not such a person.
After plotting for such a long time, how could one give up so easily?
This has become his obsession!
As soon as he learned the news, he sent his confidants to Beijing to wait for an opportunity to rebel.
But at this time, Zhu Gaochi, who had become the emperor, came into action.
He directly issued an edict for Zhu Gaoxu to return to the capital.
Such an ordinary move suddenly put pressure on Zhu Gaoxu.
Putting him in a dilemma.
After repeated weighing, Zhu Gaoxu still chose to enter the capital under the imperial edict.
After entering the capital, Zhu Gaochi did not kill him. On the contrary, he increased his salary and rewarded him with tens of thousands of treasures.
After the two brothers got along for a while, they ordered him to return to the domain of Le'an.
In October of that year, Emperor Renzong named Zhu Gaoxu's legitimate son Zhu Zhantan the crown prince, and the other sons were all named county princes..."
In Shouning Palace, as Han Cheng's voice fell, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart relaxed.
Ok!
fine! !
The thing he was most worried about did not happen. Zhu Gaochi and the others did not fight against each other because of the succession to the throne.
While I felt lucky, I also felt a little enlightened. I felt that I had been a little underestimated by the fourth child before.
That’s right!The fourth child himself started as a rebel, and he knows better than anyone else the dangers of a vassal king.
It's just a matter of teasing fools, how can we keep teasing them forever?
Some things have to be arranged after all.
If it weren't for the things Lao Si arranged later, he would still have powerful military power.
According to Zhu Gaoxu's performance, it may not be easy for him to be honest.
Zhu Gaochi couldn't handle him like that.
"Doesn't the fourth son have a third son? Isn't there any movement from him at this time?"
After being silent for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Han Cheng and asked, thinking of Zhu Gaosui.
Han Cheng said: "There is indeed no movement.
However, to be precise, it is not that there is no movement, but that there is some movement in advance. "
"Is there any movement ahead of time?" Zhu Yuanzhang was a little curious when he heard the words.
This doesn't sound quite in line with this guy's style.
"Although Zhu Gaosui acts arrogantly on weekdays, he is actually quite measured inside.
Otherwise, he would not be called an 'arrogant layman' in future generations.
In May of the 21st year of Yongle, Emperor Yongle fell ill once, and the illness was not serious.
At that time, the guard commander Meng Xian and others colluded with Qin Tianjian Wang Shecheng and the adopted son of the servant Yang Qing to forge the will and plan to poison Emperor Yongle to death.
He also abolished the prince Zhu Gaochi and made Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui the emperor.
Once the thing is done, they will be a complete follower of the dragon!
However, things still came to light.
Gao Yizheng, the in-law of General Banner Wang Yu, told Wang Yu the matter after planning a conspiracy for Meng Xian.
Wang Yu immediately complained to Zhu Di.
Then Meng Xian was arrested.
The false edict was found during the search, and Meng Xian and others executed him.
And Wang Yu was promoted to Liaohai Wei Qianhu.
At that time, Emperor Yongle asked Zhu Gaosui face to face: "Did you do it?"
Zhu Gaosui was trembling and was too frightened to speak.
The crown prince Zhu Gaochi tried his best to defend Zhu Gaosui, saying that this was done by a servant and Zhu Gaosui must not have known about it.
Since this incident, Zhu Gaosui's behavior has become increasingly restrained.
When Emperor Yongle passed away and the crown prince ascended the throne, he made no move at all. "
After hearing what Han Cheng said, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, finally understanding the whole story.
But are these people's rebellion sincere, or is it because after the fourth son got sick, he felt that he was old and considered that his sons would cause trouble in the future, so they specially designed it to beat Zhu Gaosui hard. This must not be done. And know it.
Anyway, judging from the results, this incident has a far-reaching impact.
Zhu Gaosui immediately stopped participating in the struggle for the throne in the future.
Reduces a lot of trouble.
It's hard to say that this is not the fourth child paving the way for the future.
It seems that the fourth child has considered all kinds of things, and he is really considered to be a very qualified emperor.
Years of being an emperor have already trained him.
"What's the matter with the arrogant layman? Why do your descendants call Zhu Gaosui like that?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Han Cheng and asked.
"This? This is mainly from a film and television work shot by later generations.
It is said that the king of Han colluded with the king of Zhao to prepare for rebellion.
Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui was preparing to occupy the strategic location of the gunpowder warehouse in one fell swoop under the pretext of inspecting the gunpowder warehouse.
As a result, he was blocked by the guarding general and refused to let him in.
Zhu Gaosui immediately became angry.
He shouted loudly: 'Arrogant! ! '
Prepare to force your way in.
Then the guarding general said to Zhu Gaosui: There is a will.
Zhu Gaosui, who was extremely arrogant and domineering just a moment ago, was instantly intimidated.The tone of his voice dropped instantly.
He looked at the guard and said: I haven't been here tonight, so he left in a hurry.
Although it was made up by movies and TV shows, it became popular all of a sudden because of its vivid image. "
After saying this to Zhu Yuanzhang, Han Cheng suddenly remembered that the third child of Zhu Di's family had already been born at this time.
If I have a chance in the future, I can teach this child how to be arrogant.
It was so!
After hearing Han Cheng's explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang understood why Zhu Gaosui was called an arrogant layman.
According to Han Cheng, it is indeed interesting and joyful to think about the scene at that time.
"Oh, by the way, when the fourth child died, apart from leaving a will and enthroning the crown prince, did he leave anything else behind?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking very outside the box. One moment he was talking about the arrogant layman, and the next moment he changed the topic to Zhu Di.
"I really did have other last words."
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's question, Han Cheng remembered it.
"What last words?"
Zhu Yuanzhang seemed somewhat impatient.
As the saying goes, when a person is about to die, his words are also good.When a bird is about to die, its song is mournful.
Don't think too much about the last words left by an emperor like the fourth child at the end of his life, they must be very important.
"Xia Yuanji loves me."
What the hell?
Han Cheng, what does this mean?
How could he make Xia Yuanji love him so easily?
Who is Xia Yuanji?
This kid is already engaged to his daughter, and now he still says in front of his face that Xia Yuanji loves him?
What is he trying to do?
Looking at Han Cheng who suddenly said such a meaningless sentence and then kept silent, Zhu Yuanzhang was confused at first, and then his eyes stood up and became like blades.
This kid is a little flustered!
"Let us tell you the fourth son's last words. What do you mean when you say that Xia Yuanji loves you?
Is Xia Yuanji your sweetheart in future generations?Why don't you remember the past here in front of us and confess to your sweetheart? "
Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was very unkind.
"Let me tell you, since you have come here and made an engagement with my daughter, you can only have my daughter in your heart, and no one else!"
Feeling Zhu Yuanzhang's cold gaze on him, and listening to what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Han Cheng was confused for a moment.
"Not Your Majesty, who misses the past? Didn't you ask me to say the last words of Emperor Yongle?
I'm talking about Emperor Yongle's last words! "
"What?!!"
There, as his future father-in-law, Zhu Yuanzhang warned the brat who wanted to take advantage of his own cabbage. When he heard this, he felt a buzzing in his head and was stunned.
"This...are these the fourth child's last words? What the hell is this!
Why are the donkey's lips so different from the horse's mouth? "
Even a person like Zhu Yuanzhang was instantly shaken by Zhu Di's last words.
"Any more?"
Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down and looked at Han Cheng to ask.
"No more. According to historical records, Emperor Yongle became silent after saying such a sentence."
"This... Who is Xia Yuanji? Could it be that the fourth child married later? When he was dying, he still couldn't forget it?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little confused.
I originally thought that a person like the fourth child must have a high opinion when he is dying.
Who would have thought that his last words would be this?
"No, Xia Yuanji was the Minister of Household Affairs during the Yongle period."
Han Cheng revealed Xia Yuanji's true identity.
What the hell? !
After learning the identity of Xia Yuanji, Zhu Yuanzhang felt even more confused.
The fourth child didn't say anything else before he died, and he just said this sentence. What does this mean?
"Xia Yuanji was an important minister of the Five Dynasties of the Ming Dynasty. Counting, he began to serve as an official in the [-]th year of Hongwu.
It spans the five dynasties of Hongwu, Jianwen, Yongle, Hongxi and Xuande.
During your Majesty's Hongwu Dynasty, this person was quite important and rose to prominence in the Ministry of Household Affairs.
During the reign of Emperor Jianwen, because he was serving as an official outside, he had little involvement in the Jingnan Campaign.
Later, Emperor Yongle ascended the throne and appointed him as the Minister of Household Affairs in the first year of Yongle.
I trust him very much.
And Xia Yuanji is indeed very talented.
The position of Secretary of the Ministry of Finance is not easy to sit in. He is a doormat. There are so many things going on that ordinary people can't handle them at all.
But Xia Yuanji is competent.
When Xia Yuanji was the Minister of Household Affairs, Emperor Yongle did many great things, such as the conquest of Annan, the construction of the Yongle Grand Ceremony, five personal conquests, the construction of the capital of Peking and the relocation of the capital...
Each of these things costs a lot of money.
Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Household Affairs, played an indispensable role in this.
In the winter of the 19th year of Yongle, Emperor Yongle was planning another large-scale expedition into the desert.
He ordered Xia Yuanji to discuss relevant matters with Lu Zhen, Minister of Rites, Fang Bin, Minister of War, and Wu Zhong, Minister of Industry.
The result of the discussion was that it was not appropriate to send troops.
Before they had time to present their memorial, Emperor Yongle summoned Fang Bin first.
Fang Bin tried his best to say that the cost of raising troops was not enough, and Emperor Yong Le was very unhappy when he heard that.
So, he summoned Xia Yuanji again to ask about the situation of border defense reserves.
Xia Yuanji's answer was: he has sent troops year after year, but they have returned without success, and eight or nine tenths of the army and horse reserves have been lost.
Coupled with the continuous occurrence of famines, it can now be described as internal and external difficulties.
Besides, your holy body is not in good condition and needs to be nursed back to health.
If Your Majesty really wants to go on an expedition, please send your generals to go on an expedition. Your Majesty must never go on an expedition by himself.
Obviously, this result was not what Emperor Yongle wanted to hear.
He, who was already unhappy, became even more unhappy.
He immediately ordered Xia Yuanji to go out to manage Kaiping's grain reserves.
Then he summoned Wuzhong.
As a result, Wuzhong went in and said the same thing as Fang Bin.
Emperor Yongle was even more unhappy
I feel that Xia Yuanji played a big role in this matter.
So Xia Yuanji, who had just left the country not long ago, was recalled and imprisoned in the internal prison.
Later, the Dali Temple Prime Minister and Zou Shiyan were also imprisoned.
The reason why this person is concerned is that he once acted as an agent for the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Fang Bin was frightened and committed suicide.
The more Emperor Yongle thought about it, the angrier he became. He felt that these important ministers he relied on did not understand his good intentions of persisting in the northern expedition again and again.
So they ransacked Xia Yuanji's home again and confiscated everything except the coins given to him..."
After listening to Han Cheng's words, Zhu Yuanzhang finally understood what kind of existence Xia Yuanji was.
He also suddenly understood why the fourth child would say such a sentence before he died, which sounded a little out of his head.
The fourth child was on his deathbed, and he regretted it a bit. He also knew that the advice Xia Yuanji gave him back then was really for his own good, and he was thinking about him...
However, Xia Yuanji was quite capable, and he was actually an important minister of the Five Dynasties!
If you calculate it this way, wouldn't this guy have to live to his seventies or eighties?
"So... what about Zhu Gaochi during his tenure? How many commendable things did he do?"
After being silent for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Han Cheng and asked again.
“The Yongle period of Emperor Yongle was known in history as the Yongle Prosperity.
When Emperor Renzong and Emperor Xuande ruled, it was called the rule of Renxuan.
Generally speaking, after Zhu Gaochi came to the throne, he made a series of policy adjustments.
During the reign of Emperor Yongle, major actions were taken one after another. To be honest, they had already overdrawn a lot of the Ming Dynasty's national power.
Especially the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes have depreciated too much.
The situation in China is relatively serious.
And Emperor Renzong has a relatively generous temperament, has been dealing with internal affairs, and knows internal affairs very well.
In addition to the many courtiers, they are not willing to fight outside at this time.
Therefore, many methods were used to resume production and adjust Ming's national policies.
He appointed and dismissed some officials he valued, pardoned the old ministers of Emperor Jianwen, and the families of officials who had been exiled to the border during the Yongle period.
and allow them to return to their original places.
Restoring the titles of some ministers eased internal conflicts.
He also adopted Xia Yuanji's suggestion and canceled Zheng He's planned sea voyage.
The tea and horse trade at the border were cancelled.
We also stopped sending missions to Yunnan and Cochin to purchase gold and pearls...
On the whole, it was from him that the Ming Dynasty changed its proactive and outward-looking policy to a conservative one.
These policies do sound a bit unpleasant, but when combined with the financial situation of the Ming Dynasty at the time, the Ming Dynasty is indeed somewhat unable to continue to support foreign wars and needs some recuperation..."
After hearing what Han Cheng said, Zhu Yuanzhang was also a little depressed after what Zhu Gaochi did.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, many of the things that the fourth child did were in line with his taste.
As a result, all this was stopped by Zhu Gaochi.
This is really uncomfortable.
But think about it. During the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had been attacking outsiders. Later, when the Han Dynasty's own financial problems became difficult, he could barely accept Zhu Gaochi's doing so.
"Is there anything else?"
"Yes, that was in the first year of Hongxi's reign, when he was planning to move the capital back to Nanjing.
He didn't like Beiping. He felt it was too far north and too close to the barbarians outside the territory. He didn't have much interest in the Northern Expedition.
In addition, he has been supervising the country in Nanjing for a long time and is familiar with the situation in Nanjing.
The cost of maintaining the northern capital was also expensive.
This fee greatly increased the burden on the southeast of the Ming Dynasty, and it also made it difficult for various imperial departments to cope.
These are the reasons why he wants to move back to Nanjing.
And at that time, because Emperor Yongle had only moved for less than five years, many courtiers still missed Nanjing very much.
Very supportive of this decision.
It is said that this move is also an important measure for Xia Yuanji and other senior officials to transfer resources away from the northern border.
And Zhu Gaochi has obviously meant this since he took the throne.
Because at this time, he had set up a garrison in Nanjing and sent his trusted generals and eunuchs to take command...
In April of the first year of Hongxi, Zhu Gaochi ordered all government departments in Beijing to act accordingly.
Half a month later, he sent the crown prince Zhu Zhanji to Nanjing to pay a visit to your mausoleum and stay there to take charge.
At that time, there was an earthquake in Nanjing, but he did not give up the idea.
Although he is relatively tolerant, he has his own opinions on many things.
The trip to move the capital is proceeding rapidly under his leadership..."
"So, our Ming capital has become Yingtian again?"
After finishing speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang felt something was wrong again.
"Didn't you say before that since the fourth emperor moved the capital, the Ming Dynasty ushered in an era in which the emperor guarded the country and the king died in the country?
Looking at it this way, it is equivalent to saying that Zhu Gaochi failed to move the capital this time, or that the subsequent emperor moved the capital back to Peiping again? "
Zhu Yuanzhang was more inclined to think that in the future, another emperor would move the capital back to Peking.
Because at this time, Zhu Gaochi, as well as many important officials in Zhu Gaochi's court, wanted to do this.
Unless the fourth child jumped out of the coffin board, no one could stop him in this matter.
"It's because the capital move was unsuccessful."
Didn't the capital move succeed? ! !
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard this.
what is this?
Could it be that at the critical moment, the fourth child rose up from the coffin and stopped this operation?
It's impossible, right?
If this could really be the case, he would have done this long ago when Zhu Yunwen did a series of bastard things, and deposed Zhu Yunwen, his grandson!
"What's going on? Could it be that at the last moment, Zhu Gaochi suddenly changed his mind?"
Zhu Yuanzhang really couldn't understand.
"No, it's...he died before this operation started..."
What? !
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened.
What Han Cheng said about his sudden death was really unexpected for him.
How could such a good person pass away just like that? !
"This...he didn't last long as the emperor, right? Why did he die?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a confused look on his face, and was completely confused by this sudden news.
"It's true that he didn't last long as emperor, he died in ten months.
As for the reason for his death, he was not in good health.
Otherwise, Emperor Yongle would not have given Zhu Gaoxu the illness of his son, so you should be able to help him. "
Died after only ten months? !
Died after only ten months? ! !
Even though Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Zhu Gaochi had been in poor health since childhood, at this time, the news told by Han Cheng still made his whole head buzz.
On the whole, Zhu Gaochi's ability is quite good. He also hopes that Zhu Gaochi can be like Yongzheng in the Tartar Prince, take care of internal affairs and accumulate strength for the Ming Dynasty.
Eliminating the hidden dangers left by Lao Si and leaving a more solid Ming Dynasty for future generations has become an extremely important part of the Ming Dynasty.
But who would have thought that he would pass away in just ten months!
This……
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what to say for a moment.
God really does not bless the Ming Dynasty!
The side hall of Shouning Palace once again fell into silence.
"According to what you said, Han Cheng, Prince Zhu Zhanji is in Nanjing at this time, Zhu Gaochi died suddenly, and Han King Zhu Gaoxu is still there. Under such circumstances, I'm afraid Zhu Gaoxu will not be able to help but take action, right?"
After being silent for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Han Cheng in a tired voice...
