The Most Powerful Man in the World

Noticing the change in Chu Yi's expression, Zhu Houzhao said, "Could it be that my companion thinks that this emperor is not qualified to inherit the throne?"

Zhu Houzhao still valued Chu Yi's opinion very much. If Chu Yi said that any prince was not suitable to inherit the throne of the emperor, then Zhu Houzhao would definitely not take it lightly.

Lying on the bed, the queen, whose body was weak, her eyes full of happiness, was lying there at the moment, her beautiful eyes were completely on the little baby who was held in her arms by the wet nurse.

If there is no accident, this baby will be her lifelong support. If one day, this baby can successfully ascend to the throne, then she will be an honorable queen mother.

At this moment, I suddenly heard the conversation between Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao, and immediately attracted the attention of the queen.

Women are weak, but mothers are strong.

This is true at all. Queen Su Rili has always kept a sufficient distance from Chu Yi. Even her father and even her brother were forced to stay away from the capital by Chu Yi, and the Queen also suppressed her dissatisfaction.

This time, however, it was different. It was related to the future of her child, so it was impossible for the queen to take Chu Yi's words as if they had not heard them.

The queen looked at Chu Yi with a solemn expression and said, "Mr. Chu, is there anything wrong with being a concubine? The emperor is both the eldest son and the eldest son. As the eldest son, he will be the crown prince in the future. Why does Director Chu say that the emperor does not have the imperial prestige?"

Looking at the excited appearance of the queen, looking at the posture, if you say that you don't give the queen an explanation, I am afraid that the queen will jump up and fight herself.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Chu Yi looked calm, glanced at the queen, and smiled slightly: "The maiden is thinking too much, and Chu shook his head just now, not to say that the prince has no imperial majesty, but just wants to tell your majesty whether the little prince can become the new prince in the future, But it's to see if he has such an ability!"

The queen frowned when she heard the words. The queen naturally knew what Chu Yi meant, but the inheritance of the Daming emperor had always respected the system of direct-eldest sons. Even though it was difficult for Chengzu Jing to gain the throne, Chengzu still insisted on the system of direct-eldest sons like Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.

There are many royal heirs, and the inheritance of the throne is even more sinister. If there is no fixed system, I am afraid that it will cause chaos in the country, and I don't know how many people will have thoughts that they should not have.

Therefore, the mere fact that the son-in-law inherits will guarantee the future status of the little prince born to the queen.

As long as there is no accident, as long as this prince can grow up safely and is not the kind of particularly faint-hearted person, then no one can jeopardize his status.

But that was in the past, but today's Ming Dynasty is different. Chu Yi can be said to be consistent with the court and the opposition, that is, Chu Yi has no ambition, otherwise, even the current position of the Son of Heaven will be unstable.

As for the choice of the next emperor, if Chu Yi is willing, he can even decide in one word.

The queen was clearly aware of Chu Yi's influence on the emperor and even on Daming, that's why she seemed so anxious.

If the little prince was not pleased with Chu Yi, even the empress knew that there was little chance that he could successfully inherit the throne in the future.

I thought it was Chu Yi who didn't like the little prince, but now hearing Chu Yi's explanation, the queen was slightly relieved.

Zhu Houzhao, who was on the side, also understood what Chu Yi meant, looked at the little prince who was naive and was sleeping and said, "What my partner said is very true, naturally my country cannot be passed on to the incompetent, if the emperor is incompetent. If so, I would rather choose another virtuous prince to inherit the throne."

Although it is said that this little prince is Zhu Houzhao's first son and won the emperor's heart, but now that Zhu Houzhao's body has recovered after Shao Yuanjie's conditioning, he only needs to be restrained, then it can be expected that there will be many children of Zhu Houzhao in the future.

With more children, there will naturally be more choices, which means that the position of the eldest son is not so stable.

The queen looked at Zhu Houzhao with a sad face and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty..."

Seeing this, Zhu Houzhao quickly reassured the empress: "The empress does not need to worry, the emperor is the eldest son of the emperor, unless it is really impossible, otherwise, the throne of the emperor must be the emperor's, and I will also choose for the emperor. A virtuous minister, as the teacher of the emperor, will definitely train the emperor to become a talent so that he can inherit the throne!"

Hearing what Zhu Houzhao said, the queen breathed a sigh of relief. She glanced at the sleeping prince, and the queen's eyes fell on Chu Yi.

I saw that the queen tried her best to endure the discomfort in her body, and slowly sat up and bowed to Chu Yi: "King Wu, my concubine has something to ask for, and I also ask King Wu to agree!"

At the same time as the queen gave the salute, Chu Yi turned slightly sideways and did not accept the salute. Hearing the words, he said, "Why did the madam say this, the madam is the king, and Chu Yi is the minister. If the madam has something to do, just tell me!"

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "If the queen has anything to say, just say it, the eldest companion is not an outsider!"

The queen looked at Chu Yi and said slowly: "My concubine begged King Wu to be my son's grandfather and teach the emperor!"

Chu Yi raised his brows and glanced at the queen. To be honest, Chu Yi really didn't expect the queen to have such a heart.

But it's no wonder that even if Zhu Houzhao's harem is not so chaotic, as the head of the harem, if the queen is not at all scheming, life will not be easy.

The queen is now begging him to be the little prince's grandfather. I have to say that the queen is very clever.

As long as Chu Yi agrees, then the little prince will be Chu Yi's disciple from now on. At this time, the emperor of heaven and earth is like a teacher, and the teacher is like a father. one of the relationships.

Once Chu Yi became the little prince's grandfather, in the eyes of outsiders, Chu Yi became the backer of the little prince. Anyone who wanted to target the little prince must take into account Chu Yi's reaction. If he does not fall, then the status of the little prince will be as stable as Mount Tai.

The queen really worked hard.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he looked at Chu Yi and said, "My companion, I think what the Queen said is very true, even a Hong Xue and a scholar may not be able to compare his talents, and his martial arts skills are rare in the world. If the eldest companion can be the grandfather of my emperor, then I don't have to worry about the future of the emperor."

The Empress looked at Chu Yi with eager anticipation, Chu Yi just pondered for a while, then bowed slightly towards Zhu Houzhao and the Empress and said, "Your Majesty, since the Empress trusts Chu Yi so much, then it is better to obey the order!"

"Hahaha, with the eldest companion as my son's grandfather, I have nothing to worry about."

The Queen's eyes showed a bit of joy, and she said to Chu Yi with a little gratitude: "The concubine thanked King Wu on behalf of the emperor, and the emperor will ask King Wu to pay more attention in the future!"

Chu Yi bowed and said, "Empress, don't worry, this is the duty of a minister!"

The queen gave birth to the dragon son, and the emperor had the son, and the news was like growing wings, but it spread throughout the capital in a short period of time.

Among the civil and military officials, many old ministers all showed gratification after receiving the news of the emperor's future.

Although Zhu Houzhao is still young now, even if he has no children, it is not a big problem, but this may not be a big problem among ordinary people. If it is a royal family, if he has no children, it is a relationship. The big question of whether the country is stable or not.

Now that the queen has given birth to a dragon son, it means that the emperor has a successor, and the inheritance is orderly. The Ming Dynasty will be passed down from generation to generation, and the country will be stable.

And with the birth of the dragon son by the queen, Zhu Houzhao's throne will be more stable. As for the rumors among the people, I believe that it will naturally be broken without attacking after a long time.

After Zhu Houzhao left Kunning Palace, the first imperial decree was to spread the news of the birth of the prince to the world, and at the same time to grant amnesty to the world, unless it was the most heinous generation, the Son of Heaven would grant mercy and pardon the world as a celebration.

For Zhu Houzhao's act of amnesty, the civil and military officials and even the people in Beijing are not surprised. After all, this is what it should be.

Historically, when the royal family has great joy, they will always amnesty the world to accumulate merit, and the birth of the eldest son of the emperor is the great joy of the royal family, and it is normal to amnesty the world.

If no one was surprised by the first will, then following Zhu Houzhao's second will, many people looked at it.

The content of Zhu Houzhao's second decree was to add Chu Yi as the prince's master, Wang Yangming as the prince's master, and Yang Yiqing as the prince's guardian, responsible for the teaching of the eldest son.

Although it is said that the eldest son of the emperor was not designated as the crown prince by Zhu Houzhao's decree, but Zhu Houzhao named Chu Yi, Wang Yangming, and Yang Yiqing as Taifu, Taishi, and Taibao respectively, which almost confirmed the status of the eldest son's crown prince, nothing more than It's just that there is no edict.

In the Kunning Palace, the queen was awakened by the confidant palace maid serving by her side not long after she fell asleep.

The sleepy queen looked at the happy maid and asked, "Caiwei, what's the matter to wake up this palace?"

The palace maid named Caiwei endured her inner excitement and said to the queen: "The maid is overjoyed, overjoyed!"

The queen was refreshed, looked at Cai Wei and said, "Come on, where does the joy come from?"

Caiwei excitedly said: "Niangniang, there is news from the palace just now that Your Majesty has issued an decree to appoint King Wu Chu Yi as the prince's grandfather, Prince of An Guo and Wang Yangming as the prince's grand teacher, and the prince of Jin Yang Yiqing as the prince's Taibao, who is specially responsible for teaching the little prince. !"

"what!"

The queen was startled, and then there was a look of surprise on her face, and her body couldn't help but tremble a little, showing how happy the queen was at the moment.

Even if the queen sits in the harem, she doesn't know much about the world's major affairs, but not long ago, the most important ministers in the court, whether it was the Duke of An Guo Wang Yangming or the Duke of Jin Yang Yiqing, they were all new honors and honors of the Ming Dynasty. A person of high authority.

Wang Yangming commanded the army outside, not to mention pacifying the south of the Yangtze River, but Yang Yiqing joined the cabinet, in charge of the military department, and had great power.

Today, the Prince Taifu, Prince Taishi, and Prince Taibao are all powerful figures in the court. It can even be said that as long as these three are willing, they can even set up the emperor to replace the emperor.

Whether it is Taifu, Taishi, or Taibao, these three are all teachers of the Prince of the East Palace, and they have always been held by highly respected and powerful people in the DPRK and China.

The queen didn't expect that the emperor not only enshrined Chu Yi as the prince's grandfather, but also added Wang Yangming and Yang Yiqing, and Chu Yi's ability was not mentioned. Wang Yangming and Yang Yiqing have been in the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years. , the only two who are named hereditary dukes with military merit, needless to say their abilities.

Any one of the three is enough to be the teacher of the prince, and as a result, the emperor sealed the three at once. If it wasn't for the empress's virtue and virtuousness, if she had enough self-discipline, I'm afraid I would have laughed out loud when I suddenly heard the news.

Even so, the queen's face was still full of joy, and she said to Caiwei with a smile on her face: "Pass on the order of this palace, the servants and maids of Kunning Palace, each will be rewarded [-] taels of silver!"

Caiwei said with a smile on her face: "My servant thanked my lady!"

But he said that as soon as the emperor's second will came out, the court and the public were boiling, and the newly born prince became the object of everyone's discussion, and the good news of the capture of Dayan Khan was suppressed.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the teachers selected by the emperor for the little prince are all men with both civil and military skills and great power.

As long as this little prince grows a little bit by himself, with the support of Chu Yi, Wang Yangming, and Yang Yiqing, it is a matter of course for him to inherit the throne in the future.

In the imperial garden, Chu Yi was sitting opposite Zhu Houzhang. In front of them, on a chessboard, two black and white sons were entangled together.

Chu Yi's son fell down and said to Zhu Houzhao, "Your Majesty shouldn't have named Wang Yangming and Yang Yiqing as Prince Taishi and Prince Taibao."

Zhu Houzhao smiled slightly, picked up a chess piece and dropped it and said: "I know what Da Companion means. Da Companion is just worried that the combination of the prince's three divisions will have too much influence, and then it will cause the East Palace to become stronger and compete with the emperor for power."

Zhu Houzhao was very relieved that Chu Yi could realize this, but it was not surprising that Zhu Houzhao himself was not stupid. Even if he acted a bit absurdly in the past, he still did not lose his duty as a king. In addition, under the influence of Chu Yi, some emperors Zhu Houzhao still understands the mind.

Only Chu Yi nodded slightly and said: "Your Majesty understands these words in your heart, and this minister can rest assured."

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said: "I know the danger of the Eastern Palace, but I am in my prime, and it will not be a problem for me to manage the government for another twenty or thirty years, so I don't plan to appoint a prince immediately, and all my princes will be appointed by me. The great companion, Wang Yangming, and Yang Yiqing teach, but there is no need to worry about the situation of the prince's power."

Chu Yi smiled, but this method could solve the problem of Donggong's power. At the same time, Chu Yi also realized that Zhu Houzhao had really matured a lot and had gradually grown into a qualified emperor.

Chu Yi asked himself that if he expected it to be correct, Zhu Houzhao did not set up a prince, but made many princes to be taught under the three divisions, and he may not have meant to put pressure on the eldest son.

Although it is said that the eldest son has a natural advantage in competing for the crown prince, but the advantage belongs to the advantage. If it is said that his own ability is insufficient, no one can guarantee that Zhu Houzhao will choose another prince.

Even if you think about it further, the prince's move is even dividing Chu Yi, Wang Yangming, and Yang Yiqing. It is really said that everyone has preferences and preferences.

Even parents have preference for their children, let alone their own disciples.

Zhu Houzhao would not dare to say that there are many heirs in the future, but it is impossible for only the eldest son to be the only one. Therefore, in the process of teaching many princes in the future, whether it is Chu Yi, Wang Yangming or Yang Yiqing, they will naturally have a preference for a certain prince. .

It is impossible for the three of Chu Yi to favor the same prince at the same time. As long as the princes favored by the three are different, there will be differentiation between them.

This is not to say that Zhu Houzhao has developed a jealous heart towards Chu Yi, and Zhu Houzhao is not so stupid if he wants to target Chu Yi.

With Chu Yi's current power, unless Chu Yi establishes himself as the king, otherwise, even if it is to replace the emperor, there will be no trouble in the world.

Can't Zhu Houzhao see this?Obviously, Zhu Houzhao knew it better, but Zhu Houzhao never worried that Chu Yi would be bad for him.

As Zhu Houzhao said before, if he can't even trust Chu Yi, who else in the world can he trust?

Three days later, at Caishikou in the capital, a group of Tatar nobles headed by Ballsborough were imprisoned on the court.

With the order, the heads rolled to the ground in the splash of blood. At the same time, the emperor ordered Dayan Khan to be the Duke of Changle of the Ming Dynasty, and the rest of the Tatar nobles also received rewards.

On the prairie, where Cheng Xiangwu commanded tens of thousands of troops all the way, the prairie tribes everywhere were blood-washed by him, and went straight into the depths of Mobei, and finally found the place of the royal court.

After a fierce battle, Cheng Xiangwu defeated the royal court at the cost of thousands of casualties, and captured all the left-behind nobles arranged by Dayan Khan.

At least dozens of tribes on the prairie were destroyed in this World War I, and more than a dozen large tribes were forced to move north. With the break of the royal court, the power of the Tatar family on the prairie could be said to have been severely damaged, and it has been unable to recover since then. , it may not be able to recover for decades.

Cheng Xiangwu traveled thousands of miles all the way. Although it is said that some soldiers died in the battle, the number of troops under his command was increasing. Even if thousands of people were killed and injured in the first battle of the Royal Court, the number of people was still more than the number of people who had been born before departure. Nearly [-] people, in addition to that, rescued tens of thousands of Central Plains people enslaved by the Tartars.

In addition to these rescued people in the Central Plains, there were nearly [-] Tatars resurrected by Cheng Xiangwu and the others, and these were all women. As for the men who were either beheaded or killed in the process of resisting the Ming army After being killed, the only ones left are women.

When Cheng Xiangwu led the army back to the Central Plains, there were nearly [-] people accompanying him. As for the captured horses, cattle and sheep, there were nearly [-] million heads.

There are not too many gold and silver jewelry on the grassland, but the sweeping of many tribes and even where the Tatar Khan Court is located has also collected millions of taels of silver.

The mighty army drove the cattle and sheep, which were too numerous to be counted, to slowly go south.

It has been more than a month since Chu Yi was crowned king. Today, Chu Yi was urging the shipyard in Tianjin Wei to manufacture sea ships. Suddenly, the sea of ​​consciousness shook. Chu Yi was shocked and waved. After retreating to the left and right, his mind sank into the sea of ​​consciousness, and Chu Yi suddenly showed a look of astonishment and incomprehension.

Originally, there was a total of more than [-] luck on the altar of luck, but now it has skyrocketed by nearly [-], and it has reached [-].
