I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 24

Jinshi in the second year of Jianwen?
Li Tian really didn't know what Huang Zhun wanted to express for a while, so he took a sip of tea and said in a deep voice:

"What happened to the Jinshi in the second year of Jianwen? Is there anything wrong?"

In the past, Huang Zhun would not have dared to talk about the secret, but after today's household reform and the private banquet of the imperial banquet, Huang Zhun felt that he was also the emperor's confidant, so he let go of his courage and a little bit more. He pondered:
"Your Majesty, do you still remember that Emperor Jianwen did not die after the Jingnan Incident?"

Hearing the words Jing Nan Zhi Bian, Li Tian suddenly realized, and the thoughts in his mind instantly returned to the history textbooks of later generations.

This mess has to start with Zhu Yuanzhang.

In 1368 AD, Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne in Nanjing and proclaimed himself emperor. The country was named Daming and the reign was Hongwu.

Zhu Biaozhai is kindhearted and deeply loved by Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang has always trained Zhu Biao as his heir, so that Xu Da, Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang, Chang Yuchun and other founding heroes all served as officials of the Prince's East Palace.

And Zhu Biao did not disappoint Zhu Yuanzhang. He understood the people's sentiments, supervised the country's governance, and was supported by the officials and the people.

But the sky failed. In the 25th year of Hongwu, after Zhu Biao returned to Beijing from Shaanxi, he suffered a serious illness and died in May of that year.

The prince Zhu Biao passed away in his prime, and the white-haired man sent the black-haired man away. Zhu Yuanzhang, who was nearly [-] years old, was devastated. On that day, he appointed Zhu Biao's son Zhu Yunqi as the grandson of the emperor, who later became Emperor Jianwen.

In the 31st year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang died, and Zhu Yunqi ascended the throne as the emperor's grandson and proclaimed himself emperor, changing his reign name to Jianwen.

Zhu Yunwen, who inherited Zhu Biao's gentle and kind personality, vigorously reformed the government as soon as he came to the throne, and abolished a large number of cruel punishments, resulting in a harmonious government and a peaceful world.

For young people, it is inevitable that they will be proud and complacent when they see their own achievements, so Zhu Yunqi abolished five important vassal kings in a row after a few months of ascending the throne.

Zhu Yunwen's crazy move to cut down the feudal clan made everyone in the remaining feudal lords feel in danger, among them Yan Wang Zhu Di was the most terrified, people will inevitably do crazy things when they are frightened.

So in July of the first year of Jianwen, Zhu Di, king of Yan, declared his rebellion in Beijing, which is known as the "Jing Nan Change" in history.

The Jingnan Incident lasted for four full years, and finally ended with Zhu Di's surprise attack on Nanjing and breaking into the city.

But after entering Nanjing, Zhu Di dug three feet and found no trace of Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen. In a rage, Zhu Di swung the butcher knife at Jianwen's old officials. Only Fang Xiaoru and Huang Zicheng were implicated to death, and [-] people died. The rest, the rest were exiled, and countless were exiled.

Later, Zhu Di set up Jinyiwei to monitor all officials and engage in secret agent rule. During the more than [-] years of proclaiming himself emperor, many good and loyal ministers died tragically in Jinyiwei's imperial prison.

It is precisely because of this that both the people and the government miss the time when Zhu Yunqi was in power, and dream that the missing Emperor Jianwen will return as an emperor one day and become a great treasure again!

Pulling back the thoughts that drifted to the sky, Li Tian put down the cold tea cup in his hand, got up and paced:

"Zhongchang, do you mean that Jianwen has appeared in Fujian?"

Huang Zhun was taken aback when he heard the words, and hurriedly cupped his hands to defend:
"I'm just guessing, Your Majesty doesn't have to take it seriously."

Seeing Huang Zhun's nervous expression, Li Tian smiled dumbly, waved his hands casually and said:
"Zhongchang don't need to be nervous, I have nothing against Jianwen, just say it."

Huang Zhun responded to the words again and again, but there was no more words in his mouth. Whether the emperor was jealous or not, the devil would know, he didn't dare to gamble with his official career.

Seeing that Huang Zhun had made up his mind to keep silent, Li Tian didn't bother to force himself, so he said instead:

"Okay, Zhongchang, you continue to be busy, and I won't bother you."

After saying that, Li Tian walked away, Huang Zhun heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this, and hurriedly sent his majesty off.

Back at the Kunning Hall, Li Tian, ​​who had pretended to be a full-fledged business, couldn't bring himself to be interested in playing tricks any more. After spending some time with Queen Zhang, he undressed and went to sleep.

Silent all night.

In the early morning, the rising autumn sun spreads warmth into the hall.

Li Tian, ​​whose drowsiness was fading, also woke up from his sleep with a yawn, stretched his waist and got off the dragon bed. A court lady was waiting on him with a copper basin full of hot water. After a brief wash, Li Tian arranged for Wang Fuchuan meal.

After eating a delicious breakfast, Li Tian was in a happy mood. He grabbed Empress Zhang's slender waist and said in a warm voice:
"What is Ling'er busy with today?"

Empress Zhang is used to the emperor hugging her to eat, she smiled, and said with a light white jade finger:

"My concubine will go to Fengxian Hall to offer incense to the late emperor in a while. In the morning, I will go to the Supervisor of Rituals to check the register of imperial property. In the afternoon, I will make an appointment with Mrs. Yangwuhou and Mrs. Dingguo to enjoy the chrysanthemum. I want more"

"Your Majesty, King Jin, King Su, King Jian and other seven princes are seeking an audience outside Chengtian Gate."

Wang Fu's loud report came, interrupting Queen Zhang.

Li Tian paused when he heard the sound, and then he was overjoyed. He got up and walked quickly:

"Ling'er, you can eat by yourself first, I'm going to collect the cash."

After finishing speaking, Li left the palace gate without looking back.

Outside the hall, Wang Fu had prepared the dragon chariot long ago and waited. After getting on the dragon chariot, Li Tian smiled and said:

"Hurry up, don't make my silver brothers wait in a hurry."

Outside Chengtian Gate.

Jin Wang Zhu Jixi and other seven vassal kings were all wearing four-claw golden python suits, with white fine linen belts tied around their arms and waists. They stood upright with solemn faces.

Behind the seven vassals, there are hundreds of carriages that can't be seen at a glance. The ground is full of deep ruts, and the noses of hundreds of horses are emitting faint white air. The scene is so grand that people who come and go All six officials were shocked.

If there was not only one groom in each carriage, anyone would think that King Jin was preparing to rebel and attack Miyagi.

As soon as Li Tian came out of the Duanmen sitting on the dragon chariot, he saw the carriage team outside Chengtianmen. Wang Fu's face changed drastically, and he said urgently:
"Your Majesty, why are there so many carriages?"

Li Tian looked at the carriage that filled his field of vision, as if seeing a mountain of silver, he laughed loudly and said:
"A carriage weighs two thousand catties, 35 taels of silver, and a hundred carriages, not too much, not too much."

Under Li Tian's instruction, the dragon carriage went directly out of the Chengtian Gate, sitting on the high dragon carriage, looking at the seven princes in front of him, Li Tian apologized:
"Brothers, please also invite Haihan, my hands and feet are sore and numb, and I can't get off the dragon chariot."

Hearing the emperor's words, the corners of Zhu Jixi's mouth twitched, and he was slandering inwardly.

What a dog emperor, I have come to give you money, and I want to eat your majesty.

But on the surface, Zhu Jixi knelt down on the ground with a groan, and said with shame on his face:

"The ministers disturbed the bones of the late emperor at Lingshou Temple, deeply remorseful, and come here to plead guilty to His Majesty."

Zhu Jixi knelt down, and the other six princes also hurriedly knelt down one after another, bowing in unison:

"Your Majesty, please punish me."
