Rebirth of Zhu Di's son

Chapter 425 The Finale
"The three dynasties of Yongle, Qianxi and Xingde lasted for 91 years. Their kings were wise and their ministers were wise, and their civil and martial arts were impressive. During this period, there were many outstanding people, but only 36 people were able to enter Kaihai Pavilion."

When Zhu Qiming said this, he took the initiative to bypass the main hall and walked to the left.

As he walked, he looked at the heroes in the portraits and said: "These 36 heroes are outstanding representatives of the loyal ministers in the Ming Dynasty in the past hundred years. If you look carefully at these portraits, behind each portrait is a piece of or The legend of pioneering or maintaining success. It is precisely because of the existence of these heroes that the Ming Dynasty can move from being in ruins to being prosperous step by step, creating a glorious and prosperous era that belongs to our Chinese nation and the sun will never set!"

"Every time I face them, I feel not only respect, but also mission and infinite power to move forward!"

Yang Yiqing, a 37-year-old academician who attended the Hanlin Academy, couldn't help but sigh: "91 years, what a difficult year, for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, the emperors and ministers of Yongle, Qianxi, and Xingde did their duty. In the future, ministers and others will do their best." Do your duty, and all people in the world must do their duty.”

When he said this, he bowed slightly and cupped his hands to Zhu Qiming and said: "In this way, my Ming Dynasty can be passed down to thousands of generations."

"Yes, as long as future ministers do their duty and the people of the world do their duty, the Ming Dynasty will be able to survive for generations to come!"

Yang Tinghe, a 32-year-old attendant of Hanlin, wrote a postscript.

"Now that I have inherited the throne, only by working hard and working hard to make this country stronger can I be worthy of the 36 ancestors who have overcome all obstacles and are displayed here."

Zhu Qiming nodded to Yang Yiqing and Yang Tinghe, then looked around at all the Xinke Jinshi and said: "I also hope that you, like the 36 heroes displayed here, will dedicate your life to this already strong country, so that I can build a Kaihai in the future. The pavilion displays pictures of the heroes of our Zhengxian Dynasty, so that the Ming Dynasty's foundation will become more prosperous with each generation."

In April of the second year of Zhengxian's reign, Zhu Qiming's queen Liu died of illness, and she was given the posthumous title of Queen Xiaojie.

In June of the third year of Zhengxian, Zhu Qiming married Xiao Liu, the sister of Queen Xiaojie Liu. The following year, Xiao Liu gave birth to his eldest son, Zhu Jianji.

In August of the sixth year of Zhengxian's reign, Queen Liu gave birth to Zhu Qiming's second son, Zhu Jianpei.

In September of the [-]th year of Zhengxian's reign, Queen Liu gave birth to Zhu Qiming's third son, Zhu Jianze.

In December of the 11th year of Zhengxian's reign, the five-year-old Prince Zhu Jianji died of illness and was given the posthumous title of Prince Huaixian.

In May of the following year, Queen Xiao Liu gave birth to Zhu Qiming's fourth son, Zhu Jianchun.

Here is a general introduction to Zhu Qiming's children. He had a total of twenty children in his life, including four legitimate sons and sixteen common sons.

Except for the eldest son and the two concubines who died young, the remaining sons all grew up and later went to sea to establish vassal states and found countries. Due to limited space, I will not go into details here.

In September of the 13th year of Zhengxian's reign, Zhu Qiming named his eight-year-old second son Zhu Jianpei as the crown prince.

On June 19, the 120th year of Zhengxian's reign, Zhu Gaoxu, Emperor Qianxi of the Ming Dynasty, died in Zhenqing Palace of Zhenwu Temple at the age of [-]-[-]. He was given the posthumous title Emperor Wu and the temple name Gaozong.

Two years later, on June 98, Emperor Xingde of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Zhantang also passed away in the Zhenqing Palace of Zhenwu Temple at the age of [-]. He was given the posthumous title of Emperor Xuan and the temple name of Zhongzong.

In April of the 30th year of Zhengxian's reign, Zhu Qiming issued an edict and ordered the prince Zhu Jianpei to supervise the country, and all internal and external political affairs were handed over to the prince for disposal.

In December of the 36th year of Zhengxian's reign, Zhu Qiming convened ministers to discuss matters in Fengtian Hall and announced that the first Zen of the first lunar month next year would be located in the place of Prince Zhu Jianpei.

On the first day of the first lunar month of the following year, the Ming Dynasty ushered in the fourth Zen Ceremony.

At the ceremony, the 76-year-old fifth emperor of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Qiming officially ceded his place to the 32-year-old prince Zhu Jianpei.

On the same day, Zhu Jianpei ascended the throne as emperor in Fengtian Hall, respected Zhu Qiming as the Supreme Emperor, and changed his reign name to Jingning. This year was the first year of Jingning in the Ming Dynasty, which was 4526 in the Yanhuang calendar and 1526 in the Taixi calendar.

In the sixth year of Jingning, Zhu Qiming, the Zhengxian Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, died in Zhenqing Palace of Zhenwu Temple at the age of 81. He was posthumously named Emperor Zhang, and his temple name was Xianzong.

Zhu Jianpei, Emperor Jingning of the Ming Dynasty, reigned for a total of 51 years, making him the longest reigning emperor in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

He also wanted to follow the instructions of his ancestors and abdicate the throne the year after the crown prince became No. 20 and become the Supreme Emperor. Unfortunately, God did not grant his wish.

This is because the two princes he appointed passed away earlier than him, and he also posthumously named a prince.It is for this reason that he was nicknamed the "Prince Killer" by history scholars hundreds of years later.

The eldest son Zhu Youbin is the eldest son of Emperor Jingning Zhu Jianpei, and his biological mother is the former Crown Princess Yan, who was also the Queen Yan of the Jingning Dynasty.

Zhu Youbin was born on August 24, the [-]th year of Zhengxian's reign, and died on October [-] two months later. After Zhu Jianpei succeeded to the throne, he was given the posthumous title of Prince Aichong and was buried in Xishan.

At this time, the 20-year-old Yan was hit hard by the death of her eldest son Zhu Youbin, and she became depressed ever since. Until the first year of Jingning, she did not give birth to another son and a half daughters for Zhu Jianpei during these 12 years.

The second son, Zhu Youkai, was the eldest son of Zhu Jianpeishu's concubine. His biological mother was Wang, the former crown prince's side concubine, who was also the royal concubine of the Jingning Dynasty.

Zhu Youkai was born in the 27th year of Zhengxian. He was made the prince by Zhu Jianpei when he was ten years old in the first year of Jingning. Unfortunately, he died in the eighth year of Jingning. He was 17 years old and unmarried. He was given the posthumous title of Prince Zhuangjing and was buried in Xishan.

The fourth son, the fifth son, the sixth son, the seventh son, the eighth son, and the ninth son were all concubines. They were born to Zhu Jianpei's concubines and concubines between the 27th year of Zhengxian and the fourth year of Jingning.

The tenth son, Zhu Youji, was the legitimate second son of Zhu Jianpei. His biological mother was Queen Yan. He was born in the fourth year of Jingning. Queen Yan was 35 years old when she gave birth to him.

After the death of Zhu Youkai, the Zhuangjing crown prince in the eighth year of Jingning, Zhu Jianpei was very sad. However, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, he still issued an edict in November of the following year to make his eight-year-old second son Zhu Youji the crown prince.

However, Zhu Youji died in the 28th year of Jingning at the age of 24. He was married but had no children, only two daughters, and he was named Prince Mourning Gong.

The fifteenth son, King Rong Zhu Youshu, was the third legitimate son of Zhu Jianpei. He was born in the seventh year of Jingning. When Queen Yan gave birth to him, he was actually 38 years old.

For Queen Yan, it was a child of old age, so she was very fond of Zhu Youshu. Until Zhu Youshu came of age and got married, she was not willing to let him go to sea to establish a vassal state.

When the crown prince Zhu Youji passed away in the 28th year of Jingning, Zhu Jianpei was extremely sad, and later became seriously ill. The then 58-year-old Queen Yan cried her heart out. Fortunately, she and Zhu Jianpei also had a legitimate son, Zhu Youshu.

At this time, Zhu Youshu was not only married, but his concubine's eldest son was also one year old.

According to the rules, a country cannot be without a king for a day, and the crown prince is also a king. Therefore, after Zhu Jianpei had been depressed for three years, in September of the 31st year of Jingning, he issued an edict to appoint Zhu Youshu, the crown prince, as the crown prince.

In the 51st year of Jingning, Zhu Youshu, who had been the crown prince for 20 years and had eight years of experience in supervising the country, was 45 years old. Several of his legitimate sons were already married and had children.

This year, 81-year-old Zhu Jianpei decided to abdicate.

Therefore, on the first day of the first lunar month of the following year, the Ming Dynasty ushered in the fifth Zen Ceremony.

At the ceremony, Zhu Jianpei, the sixth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, officially enthroned the 46-year-old prince Zhu Youshu.

On the same day, Zhu Youshu ascended the throne as emperor in the Fengtian Hall, respected Zhu Jianpei as the Supreme Emperor, and changed his reign name to Changhe. This year was the first year of Changhe in the Ming Dynasty, which was 4577 in the Yanhuang calendar and 1577 in the Taixi calendar.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty, which had been founded for [-] years, had many problems, especially the birth of many powerful beings in overseas vassal states.

For example, the actual territorial area controlled by the Wozhou Mo Kingdom is no less than the five Funan provinces in the Ming Dynasty, and the actual territorial area controlled by the Wozhou Yin Kingdom is no less than the five northeastern provinces in the Ming Dynasty.

These overseas pro-vassal kingdoms united one after another and issued various mineral coupons and material coupons that were common in the business circles of various countries. They used their monetary power to break away from the economic control of the Ming Dynasty.

Not only that, there are also many businessmen in the country colluding with local rich farmers and officials to build houses, villas, or various processing plants in the name of building towns, coercing a large number of people or workers, and ruthlessly exploiting the latter.

Therefore, Zhu Youshu, Emperor Changhe of the Ming Dynasty, ordered Zhang Juzheng, the Minister of Civil Affairs, to concurrently serve as the chief assistant of the cabinet, and ordered him to rectify the administration of officials and carry out reforms!

In this way, the Ming Dynasty still remained strong in the hands of Changhe monarchs and ministers, and continued to lead the overseas vassal states in continuous advancement!
