Chapter 29 Chapter 134 Establishing the Prince

Fengtian Chengyun emperor, the imperial edict said: the country establishes the reserve, the etiquette follows the eldest son, and the foundation of the world lies in it.The eldest son of the emperor, Gao Chi, is kind-hearted and filial to his friends. He is my first heir, he has inherited the wealth accumulated by his ancestors, he has been deeply taught by me, and belongs to the will of heaven. He is now in the East Palace!In the future, we must respect the sky and be cautious, and it is your duty to care for the army and supervise the country; the six masters and the people should subdue their hearts with benevolence, trust, kindness and power, and the celebration of the ten thousand years of the ancestors of Mianzu

Zhu Di sat motionless on the dragon chair, with a stern expression on his face, and the attendants around him did not dare to look directly at the emperor, so no one noticed that his eyes were red. Perhaps it took a night of hard thinking and struggle to make the decree decisively. But in any case, why did the imperial decree come down, and it was announced as soon as the morning opened, the first thing was to announce the establishment of the reserve. Nothing can be changed. The imperial edict is a great law of the country, no less than the grand ceremony of the new emperor's ascension to the throne. All officials, civil and military, must perform a grand ceremony, so this time they cannot bow down to listen to the edict. Everyone kneels to listen to the edict. His arms were shaking wildly, his throat was dry, and he was so itchy that he wanted to cough, but he dared not make a sound at this moment, the entire golden hall was completely silent.

Zhu Gaoxu went out of the palace yesterday, and told him eagerly that his father had already been persuaded, and the matter of establishing the crown prince would definitely be shelved again. Who would have thought that the situation would change suddenly overnight, and now the situation is impossible to return The situation is over. What should I do, just admit defeat? Chen Ying shuddered at the thought.He is a ruthless official, a dog raised by the emperor. He rose to the top by helping the emperor bite talents. He is independent among the courtiers. He has many enemies and few friends, but relying on the emperor's favor, no one can do anything to win him. Can the prince who has been the enemy favor him?By then, wouldn't he become a bereaved dog?

As far as the present is concerned, the eldest prince has been established as the East Palace. Although he is not in charge for the time being, and as the crown prince, he can't hurt the ambitions of the courtiers who are at odds with him, and he can't smear himself. But since the crown prince is established, the two princes must To be crowned king, the two princes are adults, and once crowned king, they will become vassals. I have no backer in the capital, and I can't stand up to so many open and hidden arrows if I rely on the emperor alone! Chen Ying fell on the ground, while listening to the imperial decree, her thoughts changed rapidly.

Sure enough, the next step is to make Zhu Gaoxu, the second son of the emperor, the king of Han and the vassal state of Yunnan, and the third son of the emperor Zhu Gaosui as the king of Zhao and the vassal state of Yanjing.When Chen Ying heard this, her heart turned cold. The second prince was originally the emperor's favorite, but the first prince became the prince and was in charge of Nanjing.But the second prince, who has always been the most beloved by him, has been sent to Yunnan far away, what does this mean? After the edict of Li Chu was announced, the emperor made another decree, ordering Zhu Neng, the Duke of Cheng, and the Taishi of the Prince, Qiu Fu, the Duke of Qi, and the Taifu of the Prince, and Jian Yi, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Jin Zhong, the right servant of the Ministry of Industry of the Prince's Mansion (meaning the Prince's staff) as the Ministry of War. Shang Shu and Zhan Shi, Mo Lin, the right servant of the Ministry of War, Zhao Yi, the left servant of the Ministry of Industry and Shao Zhan Shi, are all subordinate officials of the Eastern Palace. A series of appointments made Chen Ying dizzy again.

The grand master is the head of the three princes, and he was granted the title of Zhu Neng, the Duke of Cheng. This is a vain position and has no practical significance. The prince's service is not only a love for the prince, but also a kind of love for the veteran Conglong, which can ensure that he will not be influenced by the emperor and courtiers. It is the same reason that Qi State Duke Qiu Fu was conferred the title of Grand Tutor.Among the three generals who joined Zhu Di in the army, Zhang Yu died early, and Zhu Neng and Qiu Fu were the only two remaining. Although they were relegated to Yanjing due to some incidents, it was only a punishment, and the favor did not diminish.Furthermore, even though he supported the second prince before, but he was named Tai Tuo, and he also hoped that the old minister and the prince would make peace with each other.

This is for the sake of appeasement, and it’s kind of kind, but it’s not all. In history, the courtiers were biased before the crown prince was established. If you pass the second prince, beat him to death with a stick. However, even though he was named a grand tutor, he didn't say that he would be transferred back to Nanjing. In other words, this grand tutor had to watch Zhao Wang in Yanjing, but what about the grand master Zhu Neng?I just led the army to Annan, and I don't know that I will come back in the year of the monkey.Needless to mention the other officials of the East Palace, Chen Ying remembered clearly that Yang Xu, the Duke of the State Fu, had already been named Prince Shaobao when he was in Yanjing.

The three masters of the East Palace, the Taishi Taifu and the Taibao; the three young masters of the East Palace, the Shaoshi, the Shaofu, and the Shaobao; these are the six Fu of the prince determined according to Zhou etiquette.Throughout the ages, most of them have not been sealed so completely, but as a glorious title, without any special power, but with special meaning.At least, this official can be branded with the brand of the Eastern Palace, and what kind of relationship he has with the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace is a matter of course. what. It's good now, Zhu Neng is in Annan, Qiu Fu is in Yanjing, and Yang Shaobao is the only one left by the prince's side. I guess he won't even mention him this time. The emperor deliberately suppressed his promotion, and he has to give it to the prince. Leave a little room for a reward, right?Among the three teachers of the prince, those two are very old, only this Yang Xu is in his prime, it is very bad to have him by the side of the eldest prince.

Probably the emperor was also scrupulous, worried that the three sons would be called to the Golden Palace to receive the seal, and the second son would do something disrespectful in a moment of anger, which would be disrespectful to the royal dignity, so he did not call the three sons to the Golden Palace to receive the seal , but each issued a decree to send the residences of the three princes away.Of course, the prince must worship the golden book and seal, and accept the emperor's instructions. In any case, when the imperial decree is issued, the position of the monarch and his ministers will be determined.It's as if you went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate. Even though you haven't had a wedding banquet and received red envelopes for the guests, you are still married.

Of course, Zhu Di couldn't say that he asked Daoyan, Xie Jin, and Yang Xu to revise the "Wenhua Baojian" a few days ago to encourage them to make suggestions and establish reserves. Besides, this book is indeed necessary to be compiled, so the two orders are announced. Zhu Di then asked Yang Xu and Xie Jin that the essentials of ancient sages and sages to cultivate themselves and govern others must be collected in the book, and the words of Emperor Taizu Gao's instructions to his descendants must not be missed. standard textbook. Xia Xun and Xie Jin bowed to receive the order, while Chen Ying stood in the middle of the class, her heart had already flown out of the hall

The morning breaks up very early. Two imperial edicts, one order, the emperor will leave the court after the announcement. This morning, he will not listen to or pay attention to other government affairs! For Zhu Di, who has always been diligent in administration, this seemed a bit unusual. Although today's announcement was a major national event, there was no need for the court to discuss government affairs.Chen Ying's dog nose immediately smelled something keenly: What is the emperor worried about, or in other words, what is the emperor afraid of.What the emperor is worried about is not necessarily specific people or specific things, but his own heart. Obviously, although this iron-handed emperor has made a decision, he has implemented thunderous methods as usual, but he already has a heart. Demon, this demon is his guilt towards his second son who was sent to Yunnan. Chen Ying, who was already in despair, seemed to have discovered a ray of sunshine in the thick fog. As soon as she left the Golden Palace, she immediately picked up her robe and ran away like yesterday.Running around in the palace is an act of disrespect, but the ceremonial officer is the imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and as his subordinate, he naturally pretends to be deaf and dumb. In the eldest prince's mansion, three members of Zhu Gaochi's family were kneeling on the ground, listening to the imperial decree: The prince must be sympathetic and be kind.Don't be too circumspect in learning, don't be too scrutinized when you are clear, don't be too strict when you are strict, and don't be too perfunctory when you are lenient.Humble and unassuming, tolerate loyalty; be diligent, thrifty and peaceful, benefit the common people, inherit the ancestral temple, and protect the community Zhu Gaochi listened to the decree with a serene demeanor, very calm, this is the exercise of the mind, if it was the second prince Zhu Gaoxu who suddenly heard that the emperor's throne belonged to him, even if he didn't dance, he would definitely not be able to be so calm. In fact, Zhu Gaochi was quite emotional in his heart. According to the patriarchal clan, he should have been established as the prince, but among the three sons since he was young, he was the one who studied hardest and worked the most cautiously. method.His filial piety to his parents and affection to his brothers are all from his heart, but his father just doesn't like him. No matter how naughty and troublesome the second and third brothers were, even if they were scolded by their father, his father still liked them as before.But his eldest son, since he was a child, has never done anything out of the ordinary to make his father angry, but his father always reprimanded him for trivial things, and when he saw his expression was unkind, how could he not feel sad? However, as the son of man, no matter what the biological father did, he could only bear it silently.Today, everything that should have belonged to him was finally given to him. Zhu Gaochi knelt on the ground, listening to the imperial decree, his eyes became moist: As a brother, I will treat my brothers kindly, and when I become emperor, I will be diligent Aimin, father, I will prove to you that I am your best son! Mrs. Zhang knelt on the ground, and when she heard the canonization ceremony was over, and moved into the East Palace, she couldn't help crying like rain.She knew that her husband was honest and honest, not liked by her father and emperor, and was often squeezed out by her brothers. For her husband, she had already done a good job, so she could only work hard to do better. In silence, she didn't know how much she had paid. Among the daughters-in-law, she is the most filial one. She tried her best to protect her husband, and today she finally saw the moonlight when the clouds opened! Your Highness, Lord Chen has arrived! Zhu Gaoxu was wearing arrow sleeves, his hair was tied around his forehead, and he was holding a long spear. He was practicing martial arts in the martial arts arena majestically.The spear is the king of all arts, and a general who can skillfully wield a large spear must have been immersed in martial arts for many years, and his martial arts are extremely superb.Zhu Gaoxu swung the spear, raised the spear, retracted the spear, pipa posture, dark clouds and snow, facing the sky, uncovering and hanging the spear, collapsing the spear, every move and every move is extremely kung fu. When the servant reported, he was swinging his head with a trick of pear blossoms, and a big gun in his hand was like a wind dancing in the snow, piercing the other's eyes up and down the gun, the barrel of the gun trembled like a phantom. Hearing the report, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly There came a very beautiful posture of retracting the gun, and when he turned around and saw Chen Ying, he couldn't help laughing and said: You are here, why is it so early today? Chen Ying, a hungry dog ​​snatching food, rushed forward and grabbed Zhu Gaoxu's wrist, and said anxiously: Your Highness must remember, no matter what, never leave the capital!
