I don't know how long it took until Fluttershy finished singing the song "Autumn in the Han Palace", Zhu Zhantan, who had been pretending to be asleep, slowly raised his head, and quickly glanced at the court, seeing that there was no one else except for the original people, that is, that Gong'e had not yet come, and his heart was a little unhappy, and a touch of red surged on his delicate face because of displeasure, making his lips and teeth white.

Seeing that the little prince was going to be angry, the guard was secretly anxious, and his eyes swept the path outside the pavilion from time to time, hoping that Gong'e would appear immediately.

The guard touched the cold sweat on his forehead, glanced at the little prince's face with slanted eyes, and said in his heart: "Lian'er, Lian'er, you have made me miserable this time, if you don't show up again, I'm afraid that the guard won't be able to do it anymore?"

Just as he didn't know how to deal with the little prince's upcoming thunderous anger, he suddenly heard a guard in front of him shouting: "Lord Baihu, do you see that Gong'e is here?"

The guard was overjoyed, followed the prestige, only to see a maple tree not far from the pavilion, there was a figure slowly moving, although it was early spring at this time, but these maple leaves that did not have time to wither turned red in the cold, the maple leaves were like Dan, the forest was dyed, like the sunset perched, and like the fire stained with blood, beautiful, just now I didn't see it clearly.

The figure moved slowly, and after a short time, it was close to the front, and the guard saw that it was Gong'e who he had placed in the palace, and couldn't help but secretly exhale, and hurriedly arched his hand slightly at Zhu Zhantan, and said, "Little prince, she's here!"

Zhu Zhantan raised his head slightly, drank the tea soup in his hand cleanly, and then glanced at Gong E who came over with his straight eyes, and his cold face was better.

That Gong'e stepped forward quickly, didn't have time to take a closer look, interlocked the fingers of both hands, put them on the right waist, bent her right leg, was in a half-squatting position, and bent down and said: "Slave Xiaolian has seen the little prince!"

Zhu Zhantan waved his hand and said, "Don't be polite, tell Xiao Wang quickly, what is the situation in the palace, the prince is still in the palace?"

This palace e's name is Liu Xiaolian, she was originally a young lady in the official family, and her father was originally a servant of the Zhejiang Provincial Prosecutor, who was in charge of the impeachment of a provincial criminal name, and had both judicial and supervisory functions. According to the inspector, the three products, the deputy envoy, the four products, the subordinate affairs, the five products, the number of members is uncertain. Deputy envoys, servants, separate patrols. His military preparation, education, patrol, Qing army, post passing, Tuntian and other things, each set up full-time personnel, but also in the name of the office, his father is in charge of learning, is also the official position of the five products, the official position is not too big, but not too small, she was only two years old at that time, still in her mother's arms breastfeeding, but the father's love, coupled with the family, the family is extremely happy.

But the good days did not last long, in that year, the imperial court began to order the cutting of the domain, as the king of Yan Zhu Di tried his best to oppose, he invoked Tai Zu "Ming Emperor Zuxun" in the "Ming Emperor Zuxun" in the "dare to change the ancestral system, to be punished as a traitor" article, on the grounds of "Qing Jun side" to remove Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng, the army was difficult, and a bloody three-year military confrontation began between the court and the king of Yan. At the beginning of the rebellion, King Yan did not yet have an advantage in military strength. His army consisted of only 100,000 men, and he had no control over any territory other than his fiefdom of Peking. The Jianwen court in Nanjing had a standing army three times the size of King Yan's army, had a nationwide economy, and had abolished several vassal states. However, the leadership ability of King Yan and the army of Gao Suzhì are not comparable to Zhu Yunwen. As the war dragged on, the shortcomings of the imperial court's improper command, weak troops, and internal laxity affected the war situation. Until the defeat was gradually retreated, many generals surrendered to the king of Yan.

In June of the fourth year of Jianwen, the Yan army crossed the river and approached the city of Nanjing, and Zhu Xi, the king of the valley, and Li Jinglong, the prince of Cao Guo, opened the Jinchuan Gate to welcome the surrender, and the Beijing division was broken. The Yan soldiers entered Beijing, and in a scuffle after the arrival of the Yan army, the palace compound in the city of Nanjing caught fire. When the fire was extinguished, several charred remains were found in the ashes, which were no longer recognizable, according to the eunuchs, as the bodies of the emperor, empress and his eldest son, Zhu Wenkui. After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he launched a bloody massacre of Emperor Jianwen's subordinates, when he crossed the Yangtze River to the south to attack Nanjing, Qi Tai was riding a white horse to return to Beijing after doing business abroad, and heard that Zhu Di offered a reward to capture himself, so he painted his horse with ink, and prepared to organize a counterattack of soldiers and horses in the field. Huang Zicheng was arrested in Jiaxing for informing, Zhu Di personally interrogated, sentenced to death, the clansmen were beheaded regardless of age, all the in-laws were confiscated, only one son was lucky to stay, and later changed his name to Tianjing and moved to Hubei.

Before Zhu Di ascended the throne, he coerced Fang Xiaoru, a waiter in the Hanlin Academy, to draft an edict, and Fang Xiaoru said: "Death is death, and the edict cannot be written." Zhu Di shouted and asked: "Aren't you afraid that I will destroy your nine clans?" Fang Xiaoru said: "I will punish the ten clans!" After picking up a few words in the pen, Zhu Di saw that it was the four words "Yan thief usurped the throne", he asked Fang Xiaoru to hold down Fang Xiaoru, cut both sides of his mouth to his ears with a knife, and threw him into prison, and then arrested Fang Xiaoru's grandfather, grandmother, aunt and cousin, father-in-law, mother-in-law, aunt and cousin, nephew, grandson, family and student's family, a total of ten clans were searched and imprisoned, and each person arrested was brought to Fang Xiaoru to show in order to torture him mentally. In the end, 873 people were caught, and all of them were killed. I don't know how many of the ten tribes have been invaded.

Tie Xuan, the secretary of the military department, was brought into the palace with his back to Zhu Di facing the blue sky, Zhu Di ordered him to turn back, Tie Xuan ignored it, cut off his ears and nose, and cut off his flesh, and stuffed the meat into Tie Xuan's mouth after burning, Zhu Di asked "Is it willing?" Tie Xuan replied: "Why is the meat of a loyal minister and a filial son unwilling?" and finally was killed by a bang. Zhuo Jing, the servant of the household department, once gave Emperor Jianwen a secret message, saying that King Yan occupied Beiping and could not be taken lightly, and should be sealed in Nanchang, which was easy to control. After the arrest, Zhu Di asked Zhuo Jing why he separated the friendship between the Zhu family, and Zhuo Jing replied: "If the first emperor listened to my advice, would you still have today?" Zhu Di was angry, beheaded him, and exterminated his three clans.

Chen Di, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, supervised the transportation of military rations when the city fell, returned to Beijing and was arrested, Zhu Di was arrested on the day of his accession to the throne, he scolded Zhu Di for usurping the throne and stealing the country, as a result, his son Fengshan, Danshan and other six people were arrested and sentenced to death, the executioner cut off Fengshan's nose and tongue and forced it to Chen Di to eat, Chen Di spit on the murderer, scolded even more, and was finally executed by Ling Chi, and 780 people from the clan were killed by the border.

The criminal department is still unyielding, Zhu Di first removed his teeth, then broke his hands and feet, and the violent scolding continued, until he broke his neck and died.

Zhu Di's brother-in-law Yin Mei is the general soldier of Huai'an, Zhu Di led the army south, in the name of entering the incense to pass through the Yin Mei defense land, Yin Mei refused and said: "Entering the incense, the imperial examination is forbidden, and those who do not comply are unfilial." Zhu Di was angry and replied: "Today's soldiers punish the king's side evil, and the destiny of heaven is returned, and no one can stop it." Yin Mei cut off the ear and nose of the messenger and returned it, and said: "Leave Erkou to preach the righteousness of the monarch and ministers for the king of Yan." Zhu Di made a detour to Nanjing, and forced his sister Princess Ningguo to write a blood letter to summon Yin Mei to return to Beijing. One morning in October of the third year of Yongle, Mei Yin entered the court, and Zhao Xi, the former military governor and Jinyi Wei, squeezed Yin Mei to drown under the bridge, and then reported that Yin Mei committed suicide by throwing herself into the water. Princess Ningguo asked Zhu Di for someone, but Zhu Di pretended to catch the murderer and let his second son be an official to appease. Later, the governor who knew the inside story also knew that Xu Cheng exposed the crimes of Tan Shen and Zhao Xi, and Zhu Di had no choice but to treat Tan and Zhao's crimes. The two people said: "This is also fate, why kill the minister?" Zhu Di in order to kill the mouth, ordered the wrestler to knock out the teeth of two people with gold, and beheaded them to show the public, and then cut off the hands and feet of the two people, and cut their intestines to sacrifice Yin Mei.

At this point, the ministers who were loyal to Jianwen in the past peeled the skin and skinned the oil pot, and their female dependents were punished to be official prostitutes in the Jiaofang Division, and the cruel "transfer camp" was implemented, that is, they were sent to the military camp in turn, and a woman was humiliated by more than 20 men every day and night, and the situation had to be reported to Zhu Di frequently.

His father also wrote a letter to support the imperial court's reduction of the feudal domain, and he should have been punished, but because his father was a distant relative of Jingqing, the imperial historian at that time, he did not suffer the catastrophe.

But what should come is coming.

That Jingqing was originally the 27th year of Hongwu and the first (Zhongjinshi), awarded the Hanlin Academy to edit, and changed the imperial history. In the spring of the thirtieth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang summoned him and ordered him to be the imperial history of Zuo Yandu. Once, because of "the mistake of playing the word, the Huaiyin was changed", he was impeached and put in prison, and he was released soon after, and he was ordered to go to Sichuan and Shaanxi to inspect the private tea, and was later promoted to the prefect of Jinhua.

After Emperor Jianwen ascended the throne, he trusted him extremely and served as a senator in Beiping. Zhu Di, the king of Yan who was stationed in Beiping, had a very close relationship, and in his speech, he was appreciated for his clear speech. In the second year of Jianwen, he was promoted to the imperial historian. During this period, Emperor Hui Zhu Yunwen implemented the policy of cutting feudal domains, and Zhu Di, the king of Yan, openly opposed it, and led his army south in the name of "Qing Jun's side", known as "Jingnan". Jing Qing followed King Yan on the surface, but in his heart he rebelled, and secretly contacted Qi Tai, Lian Zining, Huang Zicheng, Fang Xiaoru and others, swore an alliance, planned to crusade against rebellion, and tried to protect Emperor Hui, but the court was too late, and soon, King Yan

Crossing the Yangtze River and capturing Yingtian (Nanjing) City, Emperor Hui Zhu Yunwen was burned to death, and many courtiers died. Qi Tai, Lian Zining, Fang Xiaoru and others were martyred together, but only Jingqing was spared. Zhu Di ascended the throne and changed the name of the country to Yongle. At the end of the first year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di reinstated Jingqing as the imperial historian.
