Ming Dynasty: My father Yongle, Forever Reigns Over Mountains and Rivers

The Emperor of Taiping, Zhu Gaochi!

The hero who opened the border, Zhu Gaoxu!

After learning the truth, Zhu Di's face turned frighteningly cold.

He looked at Yao Guangxiao with cold eyes and shouted in a low voice: "The second one is the leader of the Kaijiang Empire? Why did you deceive me back then?"

"This is the crime of deceiving the emperor. You bastards, I can't wait to kill you!"

It is true that Zhu Di was extremely angry.

After he succeeded in appeasement, he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor and conquered the world, but he did not allow his sons to enter Yingtian.

Because he has been hesitant about establishing a prince in his heart.

In the second year of Yongle, he discussed the issue of establishing a prince in the court. At that time, a group of military generals in the court who followed him in the Jingnan campaign had a politically opportunistic attitude. He is very fond of him. If he is established as a prince, the military group may benefit more.

Therefore, the generals of the Jingnan Campaign, led by Duke Qiu Fu of Qi State and Prince Consort Yongchun Hou Wang Ning, wrote letters one after another, requesting that the second prince Zhu Gaoxu be established as the crown prince.

Surrounded by these generals, Zhu Di's determination to make Zhu Gaochi the prince did waver.

Compared to his eldest brother Zhu Gaochi, who was born obese and has limited mobility, Zhu Di naturally prefers his second son Zhu Gaoxu, who is brave and good at fighting and resembles him. This is a normal psychology shared by all fathers in the world.

However, the second child has the support of noble ministers and relatives, while the eldest brother has the full support of the civil servant group.

Jin Zhong, Xie Jin, Huang Huai and Yin Changlong and other important officials in the court all opposed the establishment of Zhu Gaoxu as the crown prince. They advocated "establishing a direct descendant to make a long-lasting son" and "counted the ancient direct descendants" in front of Zhu Di, which made Zhu Di's restless heart My heart calmed down.

But what really made Zhu Di make up his mind to appoint the eldest brother Zhu Gaochi as the prince was the physiognomist skills of Yao Guangxiao and Yuan Gong!

Yuan Gong once met the boss Zhu Gaochi and called him the "Emperor of Taiping". He also met the great sage Zhu Zhanji and praised him as "Long Live the Emperor"!

Even Yao Guangxiao commented on Zhu Zhanji and called him a "good sage-grandson" who could be prosperous for three generations in the Ming Dynasty!

It was because of the comments of these two people that Zhu Di finally made up his mind to appoint the eldest son Zhu Gaochi as the crown prince in the second year of Yongle, and in the ninth year of Yongle, he appointed the great grandson Zhu Zhanji as the grandson, completely ending the fight for the second son's right to the throne. Quan’s ambition!

However, Zhu Di never expected that when everything was settled, Yao Guangxiao would now tell him that the second child, Zhu Gaoxu, had the potential to open up new territories!

Isn't this deception?

Thinking about it, Zhu Di was so angry that he was trembling all over and stared at Yao Guangxiao fiercely.

This was the first time since he met this monk that he had shown strong murderous intent towards him!

Yao Guangxiao felt miserable in his heart and could only sigh: "Your Majesty, it's not that I and the Yuan family deliberately deceived me, but the appearance of the King of Han has undergone an astonishing change, and I don't know why..."

"Furthermore, Your Majesty was the first to ascend the throne at that time, and all the forces in the court were intertwined. Only by appointing the eldest prince as the crown prince can we stabilize the hearts of the people. Have you forgotten?"

After hearing this, Zhu Di's face looked better.

He knew that Yao Guangxiao's words were not excusing himself, but the truth.

When he successfully ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, the political situation in the court was very delicate.

This subtlety is not only a continuation of Zhu Di's ascension to the throne after the Battle of Jingnan, but also the result of the confrontation between multiple political factions in the court.

Although the Jianwen Dynasty lasted only four years, it was a golden age for southern scholars, especially Jiangnan civil servants.

If you carefully check the birthplaces of important Jianwen officials, such as Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, Fang Xiaoru and others, you will find that these are all southerners. After the suppression of Emperor Hongwu and Gao, the southerners finally ushered in the golden age.

Zhu Di was originally the king of Yan. His roots were in Beiping, and most of his subordinates were from the north.

Because he overthrew his nephew Zhu Yunwen and ascended the throne, Zhu Di was in the same boat as the Jiangnan civil servant group who supported Zhu Yunwen.

In order to stabilize the throne after he ascended the throne, Zhu Di punished many civil servant families who supported Zhu Yunwen, the most famous of which was Fang Xiaoru, for the remaining crimes of the Qing Dynasty's suppression of Jingnan.

Because of these operations, Zhu Di and the Jiangnan civil officials were on the same side, and the overt and covert fighting in the court was very fierce.

From the dispute between the north and the south that existed during the Hongwu period, to after Zhu Di came to the throne, the contradictions and conflicts became particularly fierce!

However, Jiangnan was the largest source of wealth for the Ming Dynasty, and these wealth were in the hands of the Jiangnan civil servants. In addition, the imperial capital Jinling happened to be on the territory of the Jiangnan civil servants. This made Zhu Di's governance of the Ming Dynasty always under the control of the Jiangnan civil servants group. Amid constraints.

For the sake of the overall interests of the country, Zhu Di could not kill all the civil servants in the south of the Yangtze River. He could only use kindness and power to gradually resolve the conflicts between the civil servants in the north and the south, as well as the conflicts between him, the "usurping emperor" and the civil servants in the south of the Yangtze River!

I have to admit that even now, most of today's literati come from the south. The cultural quality of the literati in the north is far inferior to that of the literati in the south. As for the talented and handsome people, the north is far inferior to the south.

Therefore, after Zhu Di ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he had to find ways to win over these southern scholars, such as setting up a cabinet and allowing Yang Shiqi and other southern talents to join the cabinet to assist in government affairs and participate in military affairs.

Another example...appointing Zhu Gaochi, the merciful boss, as the crown prince!

Although the boss's appearance was unsatisfactory, his generous and kind nature won the unanimous support of the civil servants from the north and the south. UU reading www.uukanshu.net

On the other hand, the former second-in-command, Zhu Gaoxu, was just a mud-legged guy who knew how to fight, and he was a stinky Qiuba.

Moreover, this "mud-legged man" is arrogant, arrogant, lawless, and has a violent temper...

In such a contrast between the two, the civil servants naturally supported the eldest Zhu Gaochi and were hostile to the second eldest Zhu Gaoxu.

After all, if a warrior is in charge of the country, how should they, the literati and officials, deal with themselves?

Therefore, due to the combination of various factors, Zhu Di had no choice but to pinch his nose and make the boss Zhu Gaochi the prince.

But even so, Zhu Di still remained angry.

"You masters of physiognomy, haven't you ever told me in the past that a person's appearance is predetermined from birth, and that person's fate is also determined accordingly."

"Then why does the second child's face change?"

At this point, Zhu Di also felt a little frightened.

Could it be that the second child had a dream about a white-headed man, and his destiny changed?

Yao Guangxiao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, no matter what, the crown prince has been decided and supported by the government and the public, and must not be moved lightly!"

After Zhu Di heard this, he just glanced at him coldly.

Yao Guangxiao is a good gentleman. Even if he cannot be called a princeling, he is still oriented towards the prince.

But now, he, Zhu Di, has learned that his favorite son has the potential to open up new territories. How could he be so unconcerned?

The hero of the new territory!

What is "opening up frontiers"?

Open up territory and expand territory!

What is a "hero"?

Wen Zhi and martial arts, wise and promising, you will be the hero!

What is the "Emperor of Peace"?

To govern the country and bring peace to the country is to be the Emperor of Peace!

The comparison between the two made it difficult for Zhu Di to stop thinking about it.

Compared to the Emperor of Taiping, he prefers the hero who opened the border!

Because he, Zhu Di, is a hero himself!
