Daming Super Dimension Company, President Zhu Yuanzhang!

Chapter 45 Zhu Yuanzhang: We agree to Zhu Jianshen’s request!

"Listening to what you said, don't I still have to thank her?"

"Government of Zhenguan, political enlightenment of Kaiyuan. This is what the history books have said about her. Isn't it enough for Your Majesty?"

"She did contribute to the Tang Dynasty, but it is also true that she changed the name of the country of the Tang Dynasty. There is no doubt about it." What Li Shimin was most concerned about was Wu Zetian's change of the country's name.

"Later generations divided the Han Dynasty into the Western Han Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty, but the Tang Dynasty was not divided. They all defaulted to her as the empress of the Tang Dynasty. Wu Zetian did not have a temple name or a posthumous title. In fact, sometimes it is very contradictory to say that she is the first She was the only empress who did not recognize her throne. Wu Zetian herself did not recognize her throne in the end, but only recognized that she was the queen."

"Are Li Xian and Li Dan really so miserable?"

Xiao Ran nodded, "If the mother is strong, the son is weak. I was almost scared to death by Wu Zetian. How can I be successful? Fortunately, Your Majesty, you have accumulated enough prestige for the Tang Dynasty. Many veterans in the court support the Li family, and the people also support the Li family." is also like this."

Li Shimin was very pleased to hear the support from ministers and people.

"The hearts of the people are in the Tang Dynasty, and the country and the country of the Tang Dynasty are stable."

"That's true."

"Okay, that's all my questions for now."

Xiao Ran stood up and said, "Your Majesty, give me the money."

Li Shimin was shocked, "Money? What money?"

"What about the money for the question you just asked?"

"I'm the president of Super Dimension Company. What money do you want? You're going too far!" Li Shimin laughed angrily.

"You are a company employee and I will give you a discount."

"You guy." Li Shimin was helpless, "Go get some gold."

Seeing Li Shimin's deflated look, Li Lizhi found it funny.

After getting the money, Xiao Ran left happily.

"This little brat, when he marries a beauty, I'm going to hit him hard with the bride price."

Li Lizhi was a little embarrassed, "Father, what did you say?"

"This kid has gone too far. With this relationship with Datang, he still wants money."

"I haven't told Xiao Ran yet. It's still early. Let's find a suitable opportunity to talk about it!" Queen Changsun smiled.

Li Lizhi's pretty face turned red all of a sudden, and she felt a little embarrassed.

"Aniang!" Li Lizhi took Empress Changsun's arm and quickly lowered her head.

The little princess ran over, "Mommy, I want to find the young man!"

"What are you going for?" Queen Changsun picked up the little princess.

"Young Master has something delicious to eat." The little princess is a foodie.

"You!" Li Lizhi pinched the little princess's nose.

[Customer: Zhu Jianshen]

[Time: 1477, the thirteenth year of Chenghua! 】

[Customer demand: I want to make Zhen'er the queen]

[Remuneration: one hundred taels of gold]

【Orders! 】

Looking at the order, Xiao Ran shook her head helplessly, "It's actually because of this."

"Establishing an empress, is this special?" Zhu Yuanzhang was a little confused at first. Zhu Jianshen's order was actually to establish an empress.

"Emperors of the Ming Dynasty are quite affectionate, but Zhu Jianshen is even more special. He only favors Wan Zhen'er. If others had not objected, Wan Zhen'er would not only be a concubine, but should be a queen."

"You said that he is the emperor of our Ming Dynasty second only to the fourth emperor, and he can't even do this?" Zhu Yuanzhang was a little disappointed, because Zhu Jianshen's list turned out to have such a problem.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di would not be constrained by others on the issue of establishing a queen.

"Except for the emperors Zhu Jianshen and Wan Zhen'er, all the civil and military officials and the empress dowager were opposed. Zhu Jianshen had no choice. In addition to other reasons, Zhu Jianshen was also helpless. There are no private affairs in the emperor's family, they are all state affairs. The queen wants her mother to honor the world. People naturally have requirements."

The empresses of the Ming Dynasty were generally not of high birth, and they were afraid that their relatives would become powerful and interfere with the government's affairs, but they should not be too bad, at least they were from ordinary people's families.

Otherwise it would be unreasonable.

"What's going on with this Wan Zhen'er?"

Everyone opposed it, and Zhu Yuanzhang had to understand it.

"Wan Gui, the father of Wan Zhen'er, was banished to Bazhou for a crime committed by a relative. In order to have someone to rely on in the future, he entrusted his fellow villagers to bring his four-year-old daughter Wan Zhen'er into the palace as a maid."

"The young Wan Zhen'er is very sensible and well-behaved, and is deeply loved by Queen Xiaogong Sun."

"It's the Demon Queen Sun, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little conflicted when he heard that it was arranged by Sun.

"Family members of criminals are still palace maids. In the Ming Dynasty, I did not choose the queen based on her life experience, but more on her virtue and temperament, but this is a bit low." Zhu Di said.

Zhu Yuanzhang hated Zhu Qizhen and Sun as much as he loved the house, and he also had no good impressions of these two people who were close to him.

"Yes, she is Zhu Qizhen's biological mother. In the 14th year of Zhengtong, the then emperor Zhu Qizhen was captured by Wala. The country could not live without a king for a day. Empress Dowager Sun, Yu Qian and others temporarily replaced the emperor Zhu Qiyu and established the throne. Zhu Jianshen is the crown prince."

"At that time, Wan Zhen'er had become a twenty-year-old young girl, and was sent by the Queen Mother to take care of Zhu Jianshen, who was only three years old. From then on, the young prince Zhu Jianshen and Wan Zhen'er were inseparable."

"Later, Zhu Qiyu came up with the idea of ​​deposing Zhu Jianshen and making his own son the crown prince. He took action and deposed Zhu Jianshen as King Yi and made his son Zhu Jianji the crown prince. You all know this, uncle."

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di nodded.

"Zhu Jianshen was still young at that time. Zhu Qizhen's incident, and Zhu Qiyu's deposing of him, actually had a great impact on him at that age. He might be confused, scared, and feeling helpless."

"Zhu Jianshen has not lived with his biological mother since he was a child, but Wan Zhen'er has always been by his side to take care of him, like a mother. Therefore, Zhu Jianshen developed a different kind of affection for Wan Zhen'er."

"Love grows over time?" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but think of this word.

After reading novels and driving a lot, Xiao Ran couldn't look directly at the word. He always felt that it had other meanings.

"A friend in need is a friend indeed. For Zhu Jianshen, Wan Zhen'er was always with her when he was at his darkest and most helpless time. This feeling is very deep."

"If that's the case, we have a higher opinion of Zhu Jianshen. Although they are not a couple, they are still like a couple in need. He can be like this, which is considered good." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma are also a couple in need, so Zhu Yuanzhang is quite satisfied with this.

"In the eighth year of Tianshun, Zhu Qizhen ascended the throne for the second time and died, and the eighteen-year-old crown prince Zhu Jianshen ascended the throne as emperor." "The first thing Zhu Jianshen had to do when he became emperor was to canonize his beloved Wan Zhen'er as queen. "

"But his biological mother, the Queen Mother Zhou, strongly opposed it. With no choice but to give in, Zhu Jianshen had to make the clan daughter Wu as the queen and Wan Zhen'er as the noble concubine."

"The young and beautiful queen did not impress Zhu Jianshen. He and Wan Zhen'er are still inseparable."

"Because Zhu Jianshen ignored Empress Wu, Empress Wu was so angry that she used a cane on Wan Zhen'er."

"The matter spread quickly and reached the ears of Emperor Zhu Jianshen. He could not bear the suffering of his beloved woman, so the hot-blooded Zhu Jianshen ordered the queen to be deposed. Despite the obstruction of the queen mother and ministers, Zhu Jianshen still deposed Empress Wu. and punished the ministers who hindered his dethronement.”

"Later, the Wang family appointed by Zhu Qizhen was promoted to the queen."

"In the second year of Chenghua, the thirty-seven-year-old imperial concubine Wan Zhen'er gave birth to the emperor's eldest son. Zhu Jianshen was overjoyed and immediately promoted her to the imperial concubine and promised to make her son the prince. He also sent envoys everywhere to pray to the gods of the mountains and rivers."

"Unexpectedly, God did not follow people's wishes. One year later, her son died unexpectedly. This was also the only son in her life."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, "In the second year of Chenghua, Zhu Jianshen was only twenty years old, and Wan Zhen'er was thirty-seven. Isn't that seventeen years older?"

In this era, many people’s parents and children are not that far apart in age.

Wan Zhen'er is old enough to be Zhu Jianshen's mother.

Getting married and having children at the age of fourteen or fifteen is very common in this era.

"That's right! It's just a difference of seventeen years."

Zhu Di rubbed his forehead, "Seventeen is indeed a bit too old."

"This is love!"

"Get lost!" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, "We didn't know before. At this age, no wonder other people don't agree. It's a bit too much."

"Don't you think it's normal for you emperors to marry someone who is ten, twenty or thirty years younger than you?" Xiao Ran asked back.

"That's right, not just the emperor, but also officials, landlords and wealthy families, what's the problem with marrying a young and beautiful concubine?"

"From the perspective of modern people's ideas, this is a bit of a beast."

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand, "Little bastard, why are you talking!"

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di felt offended.

"Originally, if it's the other way around, we generally define Zhu Jianshen as true love. He likes someone who is seventeen years older than him, and he likes him for a lifetime, and he will like him until his death. What is it if it's not true love?"

"That's true!" Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly: "So you want us to make Zhu Jianshen and Wan Zhen'er happy?"

"He is a good emperor, and he is the real leader of the Ming Dynasty's resurgence."

Zhu Di heard something else, "Really?"

"Historical books say it was the Hongzhi Zhongxing, but many people prefer the Chenghong rule."

"Why is this? Why are the historians biased?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"The Ming Dynasty was followed by the Qing Dynasty. You also know this uncle. The history books of the Ming Dynasty were compiled by the Qing Dynasty."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "Replying the history books of previous dynasties is a Chinese tradition and has always been the case."

"During Zhu Jianshen's reign, he fought against the Jianzhou Jurchens in the battle of plowing and clearing holes. This battle brought a hundred years of peace to Liaodong. This Jianzhou Jurchen was a member of the Aixinjueluo family of the later Qing Dynasty, and was almost wiped out by Zhu Jianshen."

"Zhu Jianshen issued an order to completely annihilate Jianzhou Jurchens, requiring: destroy their nests and eliminate their species."

One thing to say, it is really cruel, but it is a pity that it is not destroyed.

"Hahaha! Zhu Jianshen did a good job!" Zhu Yuanzhang felt happy.

"After these two conquests of the Jurchens in Jianzhou, the powerful three guards of Jianzhou declined. The leaders who had prestige, appeal, and were able to command the various ministries of Jianzhou to act in unison all died in these two battles."

"From then on until the rise of Nurhachi, the three guards of Jianzhou were in a scattered and weak state. They were entrusted between the Ming Dynasty and North Korea, mainly paying tribute and claiming vassal status."

"The Jianzhou Jurchens were a typical traitor to the Ming Dynasty. Once they gained power, they would turn against their masters. Zhu Jianshen's hole-clearing operation completely defeated the Jianzhou Jurchens."

"It created peace in Liaodong for more than a hundred years and completely established the Ming Dynasty's prestige in the Liaodong region."

"Zhu Jianshen did a really good job in this matter. This is how an emperor should be, decisive in killing, with thunderous means, and not benevolent as a woman." Zhu Yuanzhang clapped his hands, "He went to Zhu Jianshen to sweep the holes in the courtyard. He and Wan Zhen'er's We have to help him, let him make the decision on this matter!"

"Uncle, it's definitely okay for you to come forward. What you say is the teachings of our ancestors and is more effective than the imperial edict."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Di next to him, "Not necessarily. If we weren't here, this bastard Fourth would not listen to us and rebelled!"

Zhu Di had a look of helplessness on his face, "Dad, I am also forced to be helpless. Yunwen won't give him a way to survive!"

"Uncle, it's all over. The old man took over. Only then did the Ming Dynasty have the prosperous age of Yongle and the rule of Renxuan. This wave of blood in the Ming Dynasty will definitely make money."

"Yes, if it weren't for the sake of these two prosperous times, the fourth child's matter would never be over!"

Therefore, it is necessary for Zhu Di to be conscientious and diligent. At least he had an explanation when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang under Jiuquanxia.

Otherwise, he will really be beaten to death by Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Stop talking, my uncle has passed away!" Xiao Ran changed the subject, but Zhu Yuanzhang was still worried about the Battle of Jingnan.

"Tell us more about Zhu Jianshen. This time we are going not only to fulfill his wish to make Wan Zhen'er the queen, but also to see other people. There are some things we need to sort out."

There are some issues that Zhu Yuanzhang wants to eliminate in advance, and there are some things that have slipped through the net, and Zhu Yuanzhang wants to deal with them one by one.

"When Zhu Jianshen came to the throne, he complied with the people's hearts and redressed Yu Qian's injustice. He restored the title of Emperor Jing and Zhu Qiyu, which won the support of the government and the public and ensured political stability."

"Yes, he did this very well. He was not confused or ignored just because his father, Zhu Qizhen, did it."

Zhu Yuanzhang recognized this very much.

"After all, the people know that Zhu Qiyu was ordered to turn the tide with Yu Qian when he was in danger, and the civil and military officials also knew that they could only do this." Xiao Ran said.

"That's right! The people all know that Zhu Qiyu and Yu Qian's contribution to Sheji, but this bastard Zhu Qizhen is still killed!" Zhu Yuanzhang became angry when he mentioned Zhu Qizhen.

"In the early days, Zhu Jianshen relied heavily on ministers such as Li Xian and Shang Ren to repel sycophants, consider the people's sentiments, assign provincial punishments, inspect officials, and gather capable ministers in the court. After suppressing the Yunyang civil uprising, Zhu Jianshen also set up prefectures and counties in the local area to pacify Refugees can alleviate the refugee problem.”

"The early period was very good, but later history books did not evaluate him highly, saying that he gradually neglected political affairs, studied alchemy, and indulged in the harem. He was extremely fond of Concubine Wan Guifei and relied on her leadership for many matters in the inner court. He believed in Taoism and was promoted to many monks. In his later years, Zhu Jianshen gradually became aware of the abuses of monks and ministers, and began to eliminate them one after another."

"We can understand that he did some stupid things when he was old. He has contributed to the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Yuanzhang chose to forgive this.

"History books are recorded by civil servants. Zhu Jianshen was the Ming emperor who suppressed civil servants the most severely. This will definitely make the civil servants dislike him. If they can do so, they will definitely discredit him. He and his son are extreme. From now on, you will I know, the credibility of history books is sometimes very touching."

"I remember you said before that after the Tumu Fort Incident, the Ming Civil Service Group began to grow bigger, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang remembered.
