In the first year of Yongle, the first month has been completed, and the ministers entered the Fengtian Temple to celebrate the New Year.

The black crown dress, the twelve crowns, and Zhu Di on the dragon chair finally put aside the shadow of the improper seizure of the throne.

Even if Emperor Gao did not pass on him, even if someone scolded him, even if the life and death of Emperor Jianwen was still an unsolved case, since his majesty entered the Fengtian Palace, and was congratulated by hundreds of officials, he is the lord of the eight wildernesses.

The throne is his.

The world is also his.

The four Yi Fanbangs will all kneel at his feet!

He will prove to Emperor Gao that it was wrong to choose Zhu Yunwen as his heir. Daming needs a strong emperor, and this candidate is only him, Zhu Di!

"Bye!"

In the sound of ceremonial music, the princes, concubines, earls, governors, honor guests and civil and military personnel above the fifth rank bowed three times in the Fengtian Palace, and the officials who were less than the five grades bowed under the Danqi.

Standing among the nobles, Meng was in a trance for a moment.

Hongwu, Jianwen, Yongle.

Zhu Yuanzhang fought fiercely, Zhu Dijing was difficult to seize the throne, and Jianwen withdrew from the historical stage in the fire.

The sun and the moon are bright, and the virtue of fire is admired.

This is the most glorious of the Chinese feudal dynasty.

Two hundred years later, the dynasty that had been vast and far ahead of the entire world would collapse with a bang.

Kneeling on the cold stone bricks, his forehead touching the ground, the tortoiseshell Zen on the crown reflects the cold stone light, and the pheasant tail on the crown has become a bright color of the thick red in the hall.

Meng closed his eyes, gathered all his thoughts, and his consciousness was drowsy for a moment.

"Up!"

Above the Danqi, the voice of the ceremonial official is long, and the music of the ceremonial music is fused into a wonderful melody.

Meng's dizziness was even worse.

Maybe it was the cold wind that got up too early and blew, or maybe it was the spices that burned in the Fengtian Temple.

Even Emperor Yongle, who does not like incense, must follow the rules when he looks at the court and is worshiped by his ministers.

Too strong to smoke your nose?

Bear with it.

Cover it with your hands?

Anything that undermines the majesty of the Son of Heaven must not be done.

For some reason, the smell of spices in the Fengtian Temple today seems to be heavier than ever.

Meng is not the only one who is dizzy, but the military generals of Wenchen are more or less unwell.

Only a few of the envoys of Fanbang who were allowed to worship in the temple were not affected, and Meng saw with his own eyes that one of them kept taking a deep breath, as if he was drinking nectar, as if he was getting immortal energy.

pinched himself hard, and he was really dizzy, and he still thought about it on such a serious and solemn occasion.

After admonishing himself several times to concentrate, his gaze swept over the envoys of the DPRK, and he still couldn't help but wander.

It is said that this tribute, the king of Joseon actually sent 300 eunuchs, and solemnly wrote them on the table.

Hearing the news from Zhu Gaosui's mouth, Meng was embarrassed at that time.

Such a strange gift, and such a solemn thing, can only be made by Smecta who spans the great universe.

In addition to eunuchs, there are also many palace maids.

However, according to Zhu Gaosui, Emperor Yongle confiscated all of them and returned them all. Queen Xu didn't say much, but the internal life of the first family became more and more harmonious, and the Son of Heaven often walked with the wind, and he had already fallen into the eyes of everyone.

After the ministers congratulated, the palace gave a banquet as usual. The courtiers bathed in the heavenly grace in the Fengtian Palace, and the high-grade women were rewarded in the Kunning Palace.

Meng had asked for a seal from the Meng Wang's family, and the edict should be delivered before he rushed to Daning. Meng Wang's family was honored as Mrs. Taibo, but it was only a matter of time.

Meng's departure date was set for mid-February. Shen Xuan will take the first step, and the king of Gaoyang will leave earlier. Kaiping Wei came with the news that the Tartars knocked on the side again, but from the analysis of the notes delivered by the officials and soldiers of the guard, the identity of the Tartars who infested the border plug this time was somewhat special, and there were herdsmen from the Weng Niu Special Department mixed with them.

With no conclusive evidence or a check of Tainingwei's military registers, Commander Kaipingwei did not dare to assert whether the herdsmen acted spontaneously or were instructed by the tribal leader.

The former is fine, but if it is the latter, the problem is definitely not small.

Fortunately, only Tainingwei is currently involved, and Duoyanwei and Fuyuwei have no signs of uniting with Tatars. However, the commanders of the Kaiping Guard still did not dare to take it lightly, strengthened the garrison of the guard station, and successively increased the number of troops and strengthened the bunkers in the border fortresses, and at the same time paid close attention to the movement of the grassland, and if there was any disturbance, the cavalry team led by the guerrilla general would take the initiative to attack and teach the Tartars who had invaded the territory a lesson.

The Shanggong of the border army was sent into the palace by the envoy of the general government, and Emperor Yongle immediately decided that the king of Gaoyang County would set off in advance, and before the end of February, he would lead 10,000 cavalry to enter Kaiping.

Zhu Gaoxu happily accepted the order, and if he was not happy, he would not succeed, and in front of his father, there was no room for bargaining. You have to pat your chest to make sure you get the job done.

What's more, staying in Nanjing is not necessarily a good thing.

He has fought with his father many times, and his family affairs have also been decided, seeing that he is going to marry the princess, he will be whipped by his father at every turn, not to mention the pain, and he really can't get over his face.

It's the same with brothers who are beaten.

Zhu Gaoxu wanted to open it, and recently, he not only often went to Dingyuan Hou's house to eat, but also often went to Xingningbo's house.

Through contact with Meng, Zhu Gaoxu's horizons have also broadened a lot. He will not give up the struggle with the son, but he will not blindly want to stay in Nanjing.

Of course, it is beneficial to be by the side of the emperor, but when you are leading the troops, why not accumulate capital for yourself?

Zhu Gaoxu's change surprised Zhu Di very much, and repeatedly praised the second son for his courage and decisiveness in the court, and Xiao seemed to him.

The military general laughed when he heard it, and said continuously: In the past, the king of Gaoyang County and the third prince always charged forward, and they did have a little bit of style under His Majesty.

Wen Chen's face became solemn. Although the prince entered the Wenhua Palace, whenever the court meeting, the neighboring Heavenly Palace heard the testimony, and there was the assistance of the Zhan Shifu, with the fact of the prince, there was no name of the prince.

Before the decree is made, the Son of Heaven can repent at any time.

Needless to say, the Son of Heaven loves the king of Gaoyang County, and he has praised Zhu Gaosui more times than Zhu Gaochi.

In the long run, it is really hard to say who the prince will be.

While resisting the pressure, the ministers resolutely opposed the emperor's rebuilding of Jinyi Weibei Zhenfu Division, and at the same time walked around in private, headed by Xie Jin, Huanghuai and others, and agreed to make the crown prince in January.

"If you can't do anything, you can also be tempted, and if the Son of Heaven wants to abandon it, we can deal with it."

If Zhu Gaoxu hadn't been from Queen Xu, things wouldn't have been so troublesome.

The difficulty is that the emperor's three sons are all sons-in-law. The prince occupied the name of the eldest son, and it was Emperor Hongwu who asked for the title, but he didn't like his father. Although he had the support of the literati, his military achievements were far inferior to those of his two younger brothers.

The defense of Beiping is remarkable, but Xie Jin and others also know very well in their hearts that this credit cannot be fully attributed to Zhu Gaochi. Without Empress Xu and Daoyan, it is still unknown whether Beiping can really hold on.

At this point, the Manchu Dynasty Wenchen really did not want to succeed Zhu Di and sit on the throne with a martial emperor.

Haven't you had enough of the hardships of the Hongwu Dynasty and the present?

Under the rule of Emperor Jianwen, the "Son of Heaven and scholars rule the world together" expected by civil officials can be realized.

Of the three sons of today, only Zhu Gaochi meets the conditions. And he is the eldest son, which has added a lot of confidence to the civil officials who want to support a "benevolent" king.

During the palace banquet, Meng was pulled to Zhang Fu's side, and there were many familiar faces at the same table, all of whom were made out of the difficulty. survived the most difficult four years, and basically all of them were knighted and added.

Yanwang's Mansion can become the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, and on the battlefield, the real sword and real gun are fought out, and Emperor Yongle will not be treated badly.

The amount of Meng wine is average, three glasses are under the stomach, and the head is guaranteed.

The Earl Governor, who was born in the military and Han, couldn't help but shake his head and patted Meng's shoulder, "Xingning Bo can't drink enough, you have to practice!" ”

Meng He laughed twice, and felt that these words were familiar.

Turning his head and seeing Shen Xuan, who was being pulled by Zhu Neng, Xu Zengshou and others, the wine on his head suddenly dissipated.

"Xingningbo is drunk?"

Seeing that Meng Xiao's face was pale, Zhang Fu asked with concern.

Meng shook his head, he couldn't say the truth, he could only nod at Zhang Fu's inquiry, yes, he was indeed a little drunk, and he couldn't drink anymore.

Zhang Fu said that he understood, and his alcohol consumption was also practiced after thousands of tempers.

Thinking about the cough that was spicy from the wine, Daddy Ha Luha slapped him with a smile, but now he is separated by heaven and man forever, and his heart is bitter for a while, and no matter how strong the wine is poured into his mouth, there is no taste.

Xin Anbo drank with his head bored, Xing Ningbo pretended to be drunk, and the generals at the same table simply drank by themselves.

It's not easy to get to where you are today, and stupid people basically don't appear here.

Zhang Fu and Meng are not in the right mood, don't disturb.

This little bit of eyes, the soldiers still have it.

In the middle of the banquet, Zhu Di was also somewhat drunk, and the military attache Wenchen did not dare to be presumptuous in his toast, but Zhu Quan and Zhu Sui and other vassal kings began to take turns, especially King Zhou, threw away the wine glass and served the wine bowl directly.

The vassal kings intervened, so that the civil officials who had planned in advance to probe the emperor's tone at the banquet were not able to do so.

I could only watch Zhu Di drink wine in a big bowl, eat meat, call the most proud son to his side, and stroking his palms and laughing.

Looking at the two younger brothers standing beside his father and Shen Xuan, who was summoned together, the smile on Zhu Gaochi's face was a little unbearable.

On such an occasion and with such treatment, no matter how good Rao is psychological quality is, it is difficult to balance.

Cheeks tremble, take a sip of wine, why?

The voices of the generals praising the two younger brothers made Zhu Gaochi even more uncomfortable.

Pour wine one after another, as if you want to get drunk and relieve a thousand sorrows.

Wang Anxin, who was serving beside Zhu Gaochi, was anxious, but he didn't dare to make too much of a move, so he could only remind him in a whisper, but Zhu Gaochi was drunk, his face was red, and he didn't listen to him at all.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, maybe drink again......"

Wang An was so anxious that the fire above his head was rising, and Zhu Gaochi's movements had attracted Zhu Di's attention.

Seeing the heavy face of the Son of Heaven, Wang Anxin chuckled, his feet were weak, if he hadn't been thinking about Zhu Gaochi, he was afraid that he would have sat on the ground.

At this time, a doll wearing a big red pan dragon costume was invited by the palace people.

At the age of five or six, his eyebrows and eyes are exquisite, like a golden boy under the Queen Mother's seat.

Seeing him, the displeasure on Zhu Di's face was swept away, Da Lu picked him up with a smile, and the slag was directly tied to the little baby's face, but he didn't see him wronged, but smiled and grabbed Zhu Di's beard, calling "Imperial grandfather." ”

Seeing this child, Meng's wine "woke up".

At this age, he is so liked by Emperor Yongle, except for Zhu Gaochi's eldest son Zhu Zhanji, he can't find a second one.

Zhu Gaochi, who is not loved by the Son of Heaven, has a favored son.

Looking at the King of Gaoyang County who looked like usual and Shen Xuan who took a step back, Meng picked up his wine glass and covered the deep thought in his eyes.

In theory, at Zhu Zhanji's age, he should not appear here.

But he came, and it was just at the right time.

Is it a coincidence, or is there someone who ......

Drinking the wine in the toast in one gulp, the mellow aroma of wine slid from his throat into his stomach, and after a while, a fire seemed to ignite in his abdomen, making Meng unable to think anymore.

In Kunning Palace, Queen Xu heard the palace people's return, smiled, and looked at the princess sitting at the bottom of the house.

The princess lowered her eyes, smiled decently, and looked humble. In contrast, the future Princess Wei of Gaoyang County is a little more impetuous.

Empress Xu frowned, but she didn't say much.

The women of the court are all there, including her sister-in-law and sister-in-law, on such an occasion, there are some things that can only be suppressed and temporarily revealed.

After four years of teaching, the princess has indeed grown, but ......

Empress Xu smiled kindly, as if the previous scene had never happened.

After the banquet, the ministers and the women left the palace.

The carts and horses parked outside left one after another, and the soldiers and guards who led the horses added 100,000 cautions, and during the action, only the horses' hooves were trampled, and there was not a trace of noise.

Meng's footsteps were a little fluttering.

Grabbing the saddle and lifting his feet, he stepped into the air and almost fell to the ground.

The accompanying Ma Chang was shocked into a cold sweat, so many people followed, and let the uncle fall, Dingyuan Hou will definitely not give good fruit to eat.

Ma Chang didn't know why he had this idea, in short, with the friendship between Marquis Dingyuan and Xingningbo, it was not impossible to deal with him in a fit of anger.

It's okay to dare to go to the side, but if he is thrown to the beach to blow the wind, he won't want to be killed.

It's just a matter of being afraid of something.

Without waiting to help Xingningbo back on the horse, Dingyuan Hou came over.

"What's wrong?"

The cold gaze swept over, and Ma Chang and the others shivered.

didn't say anything, was glanced at by the Marquis of Dingyuan, and the cold hairs on his body stood up. With a sinister gaze, it's really too scary. The soldiers who fought on the battlefield were also numb in their scalps, and they couldn't stand it.

Being able to be friends with Dingyuan Hou, Xingningbo is really amazing!

Meng was supported by Shen Xuan, the corners of his eyes were a little crimson, his eyes seemed to be glowing with water, and his lips became more and more red.

Shen Xuan stared, rubbed the back of Meng's neck with his fingertips, spread into the collar of the court clothes, and touched a piece of piping hot.

"Drunk?"

There are two kinds of wine prepared at the palace banquet today, one is the Northern Xinjiang liquor that the Son of Heaven is accustomed to drinking. Meng's alcohol is not good, Shen Xuan told him earlier, don't take the wrong wine jug, and ask Amber to take care of one or two, with the current situation, it is useless to advise, and it is even more useless to take care of it.

Meng was still smirking, but he didn't know that Marquis Shen's gaze was already unkind.

Zhang Fu, who was walking on the way home, suddenly played smart, grabbed the reins of the horse, and looked back from afar, except for a column of Zhou Wang honor guards, there were only the official sedan chairs on the side of the road and the team of the Chengguo Mansion.

Turning around and dismounting, Zhang Fu was confused.

It's a delusion, right?

This is Nanjing, not Northern Xinjiang, how can it be targeted by wolves?

It must be an illusion.

That night, Meng was taken back to the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion.

Shen Xuan held him in front of the horse, and was witnessed by many people along the way, but no one looked suspicious.

The generals from the Yan army are used to it, and during the Jingjing period, such a picture will appear every three or five times. Even if the officials in the capital were suspicious, they would not show a surprised look on their faces.

Dingyuan Hou Yongguan three armies, Jane in the emperor's heart.

Xingningbo is cunning and wise, and he is unpredictable.

is so grandiose, there must be no fear, I am afraid it is still a plan.

Rashly impeaching the two of them for improper work style and immorality, eight to nine times out of ten will step into the trap set up.

Thinking of the colleagues who sent the border to support teaching, the ministers all agreed that there must be fraud in this, and they must not be fooled!

Thinking that he had seen through Xingningbo's treacherous schemes, everyone couldn't help but admire their own ingenuity.

As everyone knows, being smart is mistaken by being smart, and thinking too much is really a problem.

If Meng learns that he is so "mythical" and even "demonized", I don't know how he will feel.

Big Laugh Three Laughs or Nail the Villain?

Only God knows.

After the banquet, the palace issued an order to stop the court for three days.

The emperor couldn't get up from a hangover, and the vassal king's ministers were also top-heavy, with drums in their heads, and they couldn't work at all.

After recuperating his spirit and being able to concentrate on the office, Emperor Yongle enjoyed the temple according to the custom, and worshiped the world in the southern suburbs.

In the first month of Xinmao, the decree was restored to the old seal of Zhou Wanglu, Qi Wangyu, Dai Wang Gui, and Min Wang. Changed the title of Lone King Sui to Changsha. Give the king of Jin 100,000 yuan of treasure money, and return to the domain.

King Zhou and others were immediately overjoyed, and thought that if they wanted to live in the capital for a while, it would be a lifetime, and they didn't want the Son of Heaven to return to the domain, so they immediately went to the table to praise the benevolence of the Son of Heaven. Anyway, good words don't cost money, and tens of thousands of words are just a waste of saliva.

The fief of the king of the valley was originally in Xuanfu, and he took the initiative to move the house.

With the character of the Son of Heaven, it is impossible to continue to let him lead the troops, and it is not bad to find a better place and be a rich idler.

Zhu Di fulfilled Zhu Sui's wish, changed his title to Changsha, and rewarded Qian Copy, promising to enrich the palace with part of the tax revenue of the fief.

King Gu proposed that it was possible to build a new palace to make the family more comfortable.

Zhu Di shook his head and said that there are so many historical mansions, just spend some money to decorate them, and my father advocates that he refuses to be extravagant, and life should be hard and simple.

King Gu touched his nose, simplicity is simplicity, and he can leave Nanjing as soon as possible.

King Jin didn't get much benefit, only took a stack of treasure money home, with a face value of 100,000, the real value of which needs to be discussed. This is nothing, anyway, he is not short of money, giving more and less is just a face, as long as the emperor does not use a knife against him, leave the fief to him.

Compared with the above, the King of Liao is a little miserable, it is reported that His Majesty has the intention of keeping him in Beijing for a long time, and the prince can change the seal, where to seal it, anyway, it is not the southwest or the coast, and it is basically impossible to return to Liaodong.

The King of Liao was depressed for a few days, but in the end he still accepted his fate. Don't look at him miserable, there is someone who is even worse than him, that is Ning Wang Zhu Quan.

King Liao still has a hope, King Ning? So far, there has been no news.

King Ning is also anxious, but the more anxious he is, the more he can't show it, but he wants to show the Son of Heaven that he obeys the emperor's orders in everything, and the emperor arranges him wherever he is, even if he stays in Nanjing!

Ning Wang Shizi didn't practice his father's kung fu in the end, so he stomped back and forth in the wing room gloomily, summoned his henchmen, and gave a low command.

"Remember?"

"Humble to receive the order, will not live up to the trust of the son!"

Zhu Panyan smiled coldly and looked out the window where it was starting to rain again, in the north, it was time for the wind to blow.

In the spring and February of the first year of Yongle, Kou committed Liaodong.

Kaiping, Quanning and other guards ignited wolf smoke at the same time.

At the same time, Taining, Duoyan, and Fuyu Sanwei leaders went up and asked Xu Daning, the Son of Heaven, to be a place for Sanwei grassland.

At this time, the voice of the court and the central government asking for the crown prince gradually rose, and during this period, there was a joint invitation from the national prince and local government schools, and the momentum was huge.

Zhu Di was angry, and he barely suppressed the situation. Seeing that there were still people who did not know the lesson, he directly ordered to reset the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town, appoint Yang Duo as the commander of Jinyiwei, promote Liu Zhi, Xiao Xun as the commander of Jinyiwei, Ge Neng, and Li Jing as commanders.

Ji Gang is still in the position of Qianhu, but gold will always shine, and all Ji Qianhu needs is a little patience.

did not set up the prince, reset the Jinyi Weibei Town Fu Division, and shouted the most happily, and was directly imprisoned.

The officials of the DPRK and China were immediately silenced.

Subsequently, Zhu Di ordered Zhu Gaoxu and Shen Xuan to immediately lead their troops north, and Meng, who was ordered to guard Daning, naturally could not delay, and set off half a month ahead of schedule. The accompanying escort increased from 3,000 to 5,000, and Zhu Gaosui actually led a cavalry to accompany him.

Zhu Di once again showed his iron will and determination to the courtiers.

Whoever wrestles with him, it is better to call an ambulance in advance, otherwise, he will not be responsible for breaking his arm, breaking his ribs, and breaking two legs by the way.

In the rain, Meng sat in the wheel, holding the wall of the car, contemplating.

When you arrive in Daning, which step should you take first?

I always feel that it is too much of a coincidence that the Tartars knock on the side, and the three guards are sparse, and they come together.

But......

Meng lifted the curtain and let the rain fall on his face.

There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, there is always a cause and effect in things, and if you find the line, you can always straighten it out.

I really can't find a clue, and it's okay to cut it off with a knife.

"Hinningber?" Zhu Gaosui rode over, "But sitting in the car is boring?" Then he went out and rode a horse, so that he didn't have to blow the wind and lift the curtains. ”

Meng: "......"
