Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 291 Give the old man the last security
When he didn't get an answer from his son, Zhu Gaochi sighed softly.

At this time, Zhu Gaochi suddenly felt that his son, who was called the good saint grandson in Yongle, seemed not as outstanding as before.

As for why?Zhu Gaochi knows.

My nephew has attracted most of the attention since the eighth year of Yongle, putting great pressure on all the emperors and grandsons. Among these emperors and grandsons, my son who was dubbed the "Good Saint Grandson" is undoubtedly under pressure. is the largest.

This resulted in Zhu Zhanji living in the shadow of Zhu Zhanhe for a long time, and even to this day.

At the beginning, everyone was amazed by Zhu Zhanhe's brilliance and talked about it endlessly. As time went by, the struggle between the prince's line and the King of Han's line would also be compared.

As a result, Zhu Zhanji's pressure is even greater.

Zhu Zhanji, who grew up in a stressful environment, has slowly lost his original intention. No matter when, what he faces, or what the result is, he will subconsciously compare himself with Zhu Zhanhe. .

so that...

Even the most obvious things have been forgotten.

"Zhan Ji, you have to know that no matter which dynasty it is, when there is a change of monarchy, it is the most dangerous time."

Zhu Gaochi's tone became a little erratic, and he looked towards the west.

"I know that in this matter, you attributed all the danger to Zhan He, thinking that he is the most likely person, but you forgot..."

"The biggest threats often do not come from within. At least they are not only internal. External factors are also very fatal."

Zhu Zhanji was stunned when he heard this.

His father's words made him quickly see his mistake, that is, his vision was too short-sighted and he only saw what was in front of him.

For the Central Plains dynasties, when there was a change of monarchy, people were often most worried about the nomads in the north.

Because at this time, they often choose to plunder at the border, or even invade on a large scale, because they know that the Central Plains dynasty at this time has no time or energy to deal with them.

Let's not talk about whether the new emperor can control this huge world well when he takes the throne. Let's talk about the death of the previous emperor, and the death of an immediate emperor, which will have a huge blow to morale.

The first thing Zhu Zhanji thought of was Tang Taizong.

At the beginning, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty killed his brother and imprisoned his father to get that position, but it eventually led to the Turkic Jieli Khan to join forces with the Tuli Khan to invade the south and fight all the way to the banks of the Weishui River, where they signed the famous White Horse Alliance. , that is, the Weishui Alliance.

Today's Ming Dynasty is not the same as that of the early Tang Dynasty, but it is somewhat similar.

When Wude and Zhenguan alternated, the Tang Dynasty was unstable due to internal strife, which led to large-scale invasions by northern nomads. But now, it is because the strength of King Wu's lineage is too strong, which makes people worried.

If normal people think, if Wala invades the south at this time, Ming Dynasty will definitely send troops to resist, because the location of Shuntian Mansion makes Ming Dynasty have no choice but to resist.

But at the same time, it was just resistance, because in the eyes of ordinary people, what the court needed to guard against the most was the lineage of King Wu.

But now what?

Not only did Wala show no signs of movement, but he also shrank a lot, and even sent people to pay tribute and express condolences.

why?
Zhu Zhanji no longer wanted to think about it, because he was unwilling to admit the result that led to a huge change in the whole thing.

"Zhanji, don't think too badly of people." Zhu Gaochi's tone was very erratic.

"Zhan He is not as bad as you think. At least he is more qualified than you when it comes to being a grandson."

"He traveled thousands of miles to the Timurid Empire, stationed himself on the banks of the Syr Darya River and stopped moving forward, in order to put pressure on the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and let them know that Zhu Zhanhe, the god of death, was in their midst. behind."

"Why did the Triangle Alliance collapse? The first time was because Zhanhe's expedition to the Timurid Empire gave the Eastern Chagatai Khanate a sense of crisis and cut off aid to the Jianzhou Jurchens. This allowed Zhang Fu to Chance."

"It was him the second time. He went to the Timurid Empire again and stood behind the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, forcing them to shrink their troops and defend the king's division, which also separated the last two parties of the Triangular Alliance. .”

"What he did was not to fight for power, nor to tell the world that he had that strength, but just to send your grandpa on his last journey."

"He is Zhu Zhanhe, the crown prince of King Wu who has made many military exploits, and the god of death in the Ming Dynasty."

"In these years, he opened up territory for the Ming Dynasty, solved the Tatar troubles, the Jiaozhi troubles, and the Japanese pirate troubles, and expanded the Ming Dynasty's territory westward to the Timurid Empire."

"He knew very well that he couldn't come to Beijing to send your grandfather to the tomb at this time, so he left Beijing in such a hurry before your grandfather passed away because he didn't want to cause chaos in the Ming Dynasty."

"But even so, he didn't complain. However, he traveled thousands of miles to the Timur Empire, thousands of miles away, so that your grandfather could finish his last journey quietly."

"What would Ming Dynasty be like now without him?"

"Even if Zhanhe doesn't move, can Oara and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate stay still?"

"Even if Oara and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate do not dare to invade the south in a large scale, will they give up such a good opportunity to plunder the border people?"

"What Zhan He did was just to allow your grandfather to finish his last journey quietly."

After saying that, Zhu Gaochi sighed again.

In fact, almost no one except him has thought about this matter, because people are different.

Perhaps, only the second emperor in history who received the title of Renzong could think of this...

As for other people, the better ones will think like Hu Huang, the worse ones...

Dragging his fat body, Zhu Gaochi stood up with some difficulty, patted his son on the shoulder, turned around and left, leaving him here alone.

On the west side of Fengtian Hall, the former Crown Princess and current Queen Zhang stood behind a pillar, looking at the two most important men in her life.

……

The next day, early morning, early morning.

Before the late emperor entered the mausoleum, there was almost nothing else going on in the court. The most common thing every day was related to the late emperor.

Today, the late emperor's posthumous title and temple title were finally decided.

The posthumous title is Tianhongdao Gaoming Guangyuan Shengwu Shenggong Chunren Zhixiaowen, the temple name is Taizong, referred to as Emperor Taizongwen; the posthumous title of his empress Xu is Renxiao Ciyi Chengmingzhuang Xianpei Tianqi Shengwen Queen, referred to as Queen Renxiaowen.

This is the last trace left by the man who served Tianjingnan and became the Yongle Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He accomplished achievements that countless people looked up to and left many deeds throughout his life.
