Rebirth of Zhu Di's son
Chapter 37
Chapter 37
"In order to prevent unexpected events, we have prepared two edicts."
Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath, suppressed his grief-stricken emotions, stretched out his trembling right hand, twisted his waist and touched under the bright yellow cushion beside him.
Perhaps due to his recent insomnia, his upper body accidentally tilted over.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Zhu Di stood up in a hurry, stepped forward, and held Zhu Yuanzhang's shoulders just before he fell.
Then, Zhu Gaoxu rushed to the couch, and he and Zhu Di sat up with Zhu Yuanzhang on their left and right.
"We're fine."
Zhu Yuanzhang broke away from the hands of Zhu Di and Zhu Gaoxu, turned to look at the cushion with a diameter of more than two feet beside him, and motioned to Zhu Gaoxu: "Gaoxu, take out the edict under the cushion and give it to your father."
Zhu Gaoxu responded and took the cushion aside, where he saw two rolled edicts placed side by side.
After Zhu Di took over the edict from Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Di'er, these two edicts were written by me personally and are the original manuscripts. The copies have been archived for future reference. You can open them and take a look."
Zhu Di slowly opened one of the edicts with slightly trembling hands. After reading the contents, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then rolled it up.
As for Zhu Gaoxu, who was standing next to him, he acted very honestly and did not go over to peek at the contents of the edict. However, he judged from the look on Zhu Di's face just now that this edict should have established Zhu Di's identity as the heir to the throne.
When Zhu Di finished reading the second edict, he was full of doubts. He raised his head and glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, and then looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, as if he had something to ask.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Di's confusion and gave a simple and straightforward explanation before he asked.
"Di'er, to be honest with you, we chose you to inherit the inheritance, partly because of yourself, and partly because of Gao Xu. In order to avoid conflicts among your sons in the future, we had to arrange everything in advance. Therefore, we have chosen you for a hundred years. After that, you will sit on the throne, and a hundred years from now, the throne will be passed on to Gao Xu."
Then, Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Zhu Gaojiu, took a breath, and continued: "Gaojiu, we will crown you the Crown Prince of Yan on the grounds that Gao Chi was born with foot problems."
"Grandpa Huang, my grandson is too dull and incapable of being put to great use—" Zhu Gaoxu said quickly.
"Stop talking nonsense and listen to me."
Zhu Yuanzhang's merciless words interrupted Zhu Gaoxu's self-effacement.
Zhu Gaoxu had no choice but to bow his head and say yes.
"If we do this, there will definitely be doubts in the DPRK. In order to silence those people, we plan to first appoint you as the captain of the Zhili School, commanding a thousand-household office of Jinyiwei, and supervising the administrative, judicial, and people's livelihood affairs in Zhili. Wait for the officials to pick up all the lawbreakers in Zhili territory and accumulate reputation, and then I will send you to Peking to replace your father in commanding the military affairs of the border fortress and establish your merits."
When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, both Zhu Di and Zhu Gaoxu were shocked.
Such measures undoubtedly sent a strong signal to all civil and military officials, that is, Zhu Gaoxu would become the most powerful grandson in the world from now on!
Today, there are [-] prefecture-level administrative districts in Zhili, including Yingtian Prefecture, Suzhou Prefecture, Yangzhou Prefecture, Fengyang Prefecture, and Songjiang Prefecture. It was the richest place in the Ming Dynasty at this time. Because of this, it is easy to breed corrupt officials. And the village bully.
Prior to this, because Jinyiwei had illegally abused prisoners, Zhu Yuanzhang issued an edict to burn all kinds of torture instruments, abolished the internal and external prisons from the responsibilities of Jinyiwei, and handed them over to the judicial department.
However, in order to pave the way for Zhu Gaoxu and help him win the goodwill and reputation of the people, Zhu Yuanzhang decided without hesitation to re-activate the power of Jin Yiwei to arrest, interrogate, and detain people in prison.
"We set up Zhili Xiaowei just to scare those quick-thinking officials. Don't think that before the imperial reserve position is determined, you can take advantage of the opportunity to seek personal gain and line your own pockets."
Zhu Yuanzhang coughed slightly, then looked up at Zhu Di, and continued: "We let Gao Xu be appointed as the captain of the Zhili School, just to tell the officials all over the world, Di'er, you will never fight with those dirty people in order to secure the reserve position. People compromise!”
The Zhili captain can supervise administrative, judicial and other officials in Zhili, and can also pick up all lawbreakers in Zhili. His power is even greater than that of the Kaifeng governor in the early Song Dynasty!
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang's move, in the eyes of some veteran civil servants who were familiar with the history of the Tang and Song Dynasties, was tantamount to giving the title of the emperor's grandson to Zhu Gaoxu in disguise.Because in the early Song Dynasty, most of the people who served as governors of Kaifeng Prefecture were de facto princes. After all, Kaifeng Prefecture was the capital of the imperial court at that time.
"Grandpa Huang, my grandson is young and may not be able to shoulder this important responsibility."
Seeing the expectant look in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, Zhu Gaoxu didn't want to be disobedient, but he had to say some things.
"In ancient times, 'King Wen was crowned when he was 12 years old, and King Cheng was crowned when he was 15 years old.' We remember that you were born in the winter month of the 13th year of Hongwu. By calculation, you are already 14 years old this year. It is not a bad idea to hold a crowning ceremony. How can it be regarded as Young?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he seemed to be a little interested, and his energy was much better than before. He immediately arranged: "After a while, we will ask the Ministry of Rites to choose an auspicious day to send Song'er (King Zhu Song of Han), Mo'er (King Shen Zhu Mo), Gao Chi, your crowning ceremony has been held, and then I will appoint you as the Crown Prince of Yan."
Without giving Zhu Gaoxu time to react, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "Gaoxu, you go down first. We have something to say to your father alone."
Zhu Gaoxu respectfully claimed that he was and retreated obediently.
After watching Zhu Gaoxu leave, Zhu Yuanzhang took out the pros and cons of a thousand words of advice from his arms and handed it to Zhu Di.
"Put this thing away. You can take it out and look at it when you can't sleep at night."
Zhu Di took the pros and cons book respectfully, but did not open it on the spot, but put it away close to his body.
"It's just us, father and son, now, and I want to ask you something."
Zhu Yuanzhang paused and said lightly.
"Dad, please ask, and I will answer truthfully." Zhu Di said respectfully.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked seemingly casually: "If we succeed you as emperor in a hundred years, how do you plan to treat your eldest brother's children?"
These words may seem like commonplace talk, but upon closer inspection, they mean something else.
Zhu Di was shrewd and capable, and instantly understood the profound meaning of Zhu Yuanzhang's question, and immediately answered without thinking.
"I will raise them to adulthood, and then according to the story of King Jingjiang, I will make the eldest brother and the sons princes and enjoy the system of princes, and the daughters will be made princesses and enjoy the system of princesses."
Zhu Yuanzhang said "Yes" at first, and then asked calmly: "We ask you to recuperate with the people for the first ten years after you succeed to the throne, and strictly prohibit large-scale use of foreign troops. Can you agree?"
"Dad's request is reasonable and reasonable, and I have no reason not to agree." Zhu Di said with a naive look on his face.
"Help us up." Zhu Yuanzhang changed his subject and suddenly ordered.
Although Zhu Di was doubtful, he did not dare to hesitate and quickly helped Zhu Yuanzhang stand up.
"Follow us to Fengxian Hall."
Zhu Yuanzhang held Zhu Di's arm tightly, fearing that the latter would run away, and said with a gloomy face: "We want you to say what you just promised to us in front of your ancestors."
