【After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he moved the capital to Beijing, built the Yongle Grand Ceremony, made six voyages to the Western Seas, was powerful all over the world, pacified Annan, and conquered Mongolia five times, which can be said to be shining through the ages.】

【During his more than ten years as emperor, he kept busy and worked, put in a lot of effort, and achieved many achievements. It was these achievements that earned him the reputation of a generation of British rulers.】

【He did something that many emperors in history failed to do, but he did not feel tired at all, because in Zhu Di's mind, power was the motivation for his work. Holding power was like taking stimulants. Power It has become a drug for him, he cannot live without it even a second, and no one can take it away.】

【Of course, people like him are destined to be lonely. There is no way to allow others to sleep soundly beside the bed. Zhu Di's desire for control is even worse than that of his father.】

【Because of this, Zhu Di could only spend the rest of his life alone.】

【In March of the 16th year of Yongle, Zhu Di walked into Qingshou Temple with hurried steps. He came to say goodbye to an old monk whom he relied on but was suspicious of, Yao Guangxiao.】

【Today, Yao Guangxiao is eighty-four years old. His long military career and extremely heavy scheming have exhausted all his energy. The conspirator who was over sixty years old but still full of ambition has disappeared and replaced him. It's just a helpless old man lying on the bed】

【The encounter in the eighteenth year of Hongwu (1385) not only changed Zhu Di's life, but also changed the fate of the old monk.】

【It was under the constant encouragement of the old monk that Zhu Di took the risk to raise troops and finally conquered the world. The two could be said to be old friends and had mutual success. However, after success, Zhu Di was still inevitably suspicious of the old monk~】

【Although the old monk did not die, he chose to live in seclusion completely. Since then, he has been accompanied by green lanterns, eating fast and chanting Buddha's name, and has never been more concerned about worldly affairs.】

【Zhu Di let the old monk go, and the old monk indeed had no intention of getting involved in the dispute again.】

【The purpose of his rebellion is just to realize his ambition. Once his ambition is realized, he will be satisfied.】

【The old monk also understands Zhu Di's ruthlessness. If he wants to live, he can only live in silence and die alone. Only in this way can he live peacefully.】

【In the end, Zhu Di sent the old monk away, and he became completely alone.】

【In January of the 22nd year of Yongle, Arutai began to invade the border again, robbing along the Ming Dynasty border and intruding Datong. At this moment, Zhu Di's body was no longer as good as before.】

【After years of fighting, his body has begun to decline at the age of sixty.】

【But after hearing about Arutai's invasion, Zhu Di did not give up the expedition due to physical reasons.】

【He knew that he didn't have much time left. Even though he was ill, Zhu Di chose to go on a personal expedition. This time he planned to eliminate Arutai once and for all. This time, it was already his fifth personal expedition.】

【At this moment, what he was thinking about was the people of the Ming Dynasty, who was his future king. He helped his son pacify the north, so that he could be the emperor with peace of mind in the future.】

【As usual, Zhu Di selected several ministers to go on the expedition with him, and among the people he selected, one of them would play an extremely important role in the near future.】

【This person is Yang Rong, the cabinet scholar】

【In June of the 22nd year of Yongle, Zhu Di led his army to reach the Namur River in Dalanna. This was originally the home of Arutai, but now that he heard that Zhu Di was coming, Arutai had already fled without a trace.】

【Zhu Di did not want to let Alutai go. He sent sentinels to continuously go out to find out news about the Mongols. However, after repeated searches, Alutai was still nowhere to be seen.】

【But Zhu Di's body is getting worse day by day.】

【Faced with such a predicament, Zhu Di's civil and military ministers began to argue. Zhang Fu expressed his willingness to receive a month's worth of food and lead the army deep into the desert to capture Arutai.】

【However, Yang Rong was opposed. He believed that the army was now alone and if it continued to stay, food and grass would be in trouble. By then, the army would be in a dangerous situation and must be mobilized as soon as possible.】

【After Zhu Di heard the dispute between the two parties, he weighed the pros and cons, and finally issued an order to the Ming army: Banshi returned to the court.】

【He knew clearly that his body could no longer hold on. If he died of illness on the grassland and food and grass were cut off, then the army of 500,000 would be in danger of being annihilated. He could not risk the lives of the soldiers. bet】

【From following the famous generals on expeditions as a boy, to rebelling in Jingnan as a young man, to traveling to Mongolia as an adult, sweeping across the desert, fighting for decades and killing countless people, the life of galloping on the battlefield is certainly exciting, but It was also exhausting. Zhu Di felt a little tired.】

【In July, when the army arrived at Cuiweigang, Zhu Di, who was sick all over, summoned Yang Rong, and the emperor and his ministers had a last conversation.】

【Zhu Di told Yang Rong that the prince had been supervising the country for many years and was already very familiar with government affairs. After he returned this time, he would gradually transfer power to the prince, and he would spend his later years in secret and live a peaceful life for a few years.】

【Yang Rong was overjoyed, but did not show it. He responded: His Royal Highness is loyal and benevolent, and will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations.】

【But what Zhu Di didn't expect was that he could no longer return home.】

【The Ming army returned all the way south. After the army arrived at Yumuchuan, Zhu Di's originally strong body finally couldn't support it, and he died of illness in the military camp at the age of sixty-five.】

【Sixty-five years ago, the baby was born in the flames of war, experienced countless storms, and finally found his destination on the journey and gained eternal peace.】

【Born in war and died on the road, Zhu Di is full of legends. He may not be a good person, but he can be regarded as a good emperor.】

【Although he made big mistakes in his life, he also made countless great contributions and is destined to be sung by future generations.】

【It's just that even if he died, the troubles he left behind have not been completely solved, because the battle for the prince has just entered the decisive battle at this time.】.......The dividing line..
