Chapter 101: Blue Smoke
At two o'clock in the afternoon, that is, at half past eleven in later generations, Zhu Di took Zhu Chun, Princess Shu and a group of descendants to Wenhua Palace.
Although Zhu Zhanji is the protagonist, Zhu Gaochi, who is also sick in bed at this time, is strongly supported to meet him.
As long as people are not dead, etiquette cannot be abolished.
Although there are not many guests in the Wenhua Hall today, there are dozens of families and hundreds of people who come to congratulate Zhu Zhanji on his birthday.
Zhu Zhanji, the most valued grandson and future heir to the throne, as long as it has a little relationship, who doesn't want to get up?
However, even if you want to get up, you must have that qualification, and you can only enter the door of the Wenhua Hall today.
Zhu Zhanji has already received the news that in addition to the children and grandchildren who came to Beijing with Zhu Chun today, there is also a special person.
The reason why it is special is because this person's surname is Lan, which is the same surname as Princess Shu, and she is also her niece, a young girl who can be called a stunning beauty.
Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, is a famous person in the second generation of the Zhu family who likes to read and do learning, and he is known inside and outside the court as a comprehensive classic, tolerant and elegant, and is known as "Shu Xiucai" in the court.
At this point, Zhu Gaochi is in the same vein as him.
However, it would be silly to be an idle prince who can have a position, and when a prince chooses a position too early.
Therefore, Zhu Chun has a good reputation among the princes, but Zhu Gaochi only has some popularity among literati.
Zhu Chun's princess is not an ordinary person, and the surname Lan and Mu are both likely to become the big families of the Zhu dynasty who were named kings with different surnames. But all this, after Lan Yu was sentenced to death for treason, a famous general who sealed the wolf Juxu, Le Shi Yanran, and a huge family disappeared from then on.
In the history of the Chinese nation, "Feng Wolf Juxu, Le Shi Yanran" is considered to be the highest military merit of the Han nationality, and it is also the highest honor of the Han soldiers.
From ancient times to the present, only four people have been able to do this. The first is the well-known Huo Quzhi, the second is the famous general Dou Xian of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the third is also the famous general Ban Gu in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
For more than 1,000 years after that, no Han Chinese could ride horses on the steppe and expel the Tartars.
It was not until the period of Zhu Yuanzhang that Lan Yu became the fourth Han general of Le Shi Yanran, who was the fourth wolf Juxu, and broke the Northern Yuan Dynasty in the fishing sea, that is, Lake Baikal in later generations.
In this battle, 3,000 people from Wu Wang Duoer, Dai Wang Dalima and officials below Pingzhang, more than 77,000 men and women, as well as treasures, talismans, gold and silver seals, more than 150,000 horses, camels, cattle, and sheep were captured, and their armor was burned and accumulated innumerable.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang compared Lan Yu to Wei Qing and Li Jing. Lan Yu also captured the Harazhang camp, obtained 60,000 men and animals, and basically destroyed its official system and became famous all over the world.
When he returned to the court, he was promoted to the Duke of Liangguo.
Lan Yu is handsome, often meets his wife and brother, is brave and strategic, brave and good at fighting, and has repeatedly made military exploits.
But Lan Yu, who had outstanding military achievements, was a rough man, uneducated, irritable, and self-serving, and was appreciated and favored by Zhu Yuanzhang, becoming more and more arrogant and arbitrary, and doing all kinds of lawless things.
What's more, Lan Yu is also an insatiable person, because he has repeatedly made military exploits, so Zhu Yuanzhang rewarded him very generously, but he did not thank Zhu Yuanzhang, but thought that these were what he deserved, and he deserved it for fighting the world.
There were even times when he thought the emperor had given him too little.
In such a feudal era, the emperor is the sky, and if someone dares to contradict him or even question him, then this person is not far from death.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was consolidating and strengthening centralized power, was deeply disturbed, and arrested and imprisoned him for the crime of treason, and was stripped of his skin, his house was raided, and the three ethnic groups were exterminated.
Lan Yu paid the price of blood for his arrogance, and because of him, he put to death a duke, thirteen marquises, and two counts, and 15,000 meritorious heroes and their families were executed.
The Lanyu case is also called the same as the Hu Weiyong case, two major tragedies in the Hongwu period.
Should Sapphire be damned? From a national point of view, he has more merit than demerit. But from the emperor's point of view, he has become a threat, so he must die.
Zhu Zhanji doesn't have much sympathy for him, this is a typical guy who doesn't have enough emotional intelligence.
It's just that I feel a little sorry for him to kill more than 10,000 people in a row.
It is rumored that all the members of the Lanyu family were killed at that time, and only Princess Shu was spared death. But from the appearance of this blue smoke today, it shows that the three clans of Zhulian at that time still had fish that slipped through the net.
And this fish that slipped through the net also entered the palace today, which shows that Zhu Di is actually very clear about the rights and wrongs of this matter. Although he can't openly expose his father's black history, he has forgiven the Lan family in private.
Even in order to show tolerance, he was ready to use this to include the descendants of the Lan family in the palace.
Of course, he did not accept it for himself, but for Zhu Zhanji.
Although the royal family does not have too many people to defend themselves, it is not uncommon to marry aunts and nieces. But there is no reason for a brother to marry a grandmother and marry a niece and granddaughter himself.
Now that the princess is in a hurry, the princess of Shu brought blue smoke into the palace, and Zhu Di brought them to Wenhua Palace, this logic is not difficult to guess.
Zhu Zhanji also looked at Lan Yan, this woman is delicate and tall, she is the slim type that Zhu Zhanji likes.
When Zhu Zhanji looked at her, she was also peeking at Zhu Zhanji, and after the eyes of the two of them met, she not only was not shy, but also pouted arrogantly, which made Zhu Zhanji a little interested.
When he came to Daming, he saw too many obedient women, this little pepper-like girl, but she had a little self-confidence and self-improvement of later girls.
He didn't suffer a loss about this matter anyway, and there was nothing to be dissatisfied with. has experienced the emotional entanglement of the previous two lives, and now he is the grandson again, and his feelings are like floating clouds to him.
Zhu Gaochi was weak, greeted Zhu Di and his party, and was carried back to his bedroom to rest, and Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Chun and his party finished saluting, and directly ordered the banquet to begin.
The banquet was divided into men and women, the men were in the front hall, but the women were entertained by the Zhang family in the back hall.
Although the Wenhua Hall is not small, most of the people can only sit in the courtyard for a banquet of more than 300 people at a time.
In the front hall and the apse, two stages were also erected, accompanied by musical classes. At the end of the luncheon, in the afternoon, there will be some of the songs that people like nowadays, acrobatics.
These two music classes were established by Zhu Di, there are eunuchs, there are palace maids, and they can often be seen when the palace gives banquets.
Zhu Zhanji has no interest in these miscellaneous shows, but there are too few entertainment programs in this era, and everyone else listens to them with relish.
As a lonely person, Zhu Di can't share the table with anyone, and his dishes are also a single one, with a total of thirty-two kinds of side dishes, snacks, and big dishes.
Of course, he can't eat so much alone, so he often gives the food in front of him to others, which is a great honor.
Today he gave twenty-four portions of the dishes before him, leaving only eight dishes. About half of the nobles were given food, and the other half was given to their dependents.
Today, in addition to Mrs. Peng Chengbo, Princess Shu and others, Sun Xian also got a snack.
This is also Zhu Di's heart, an emperor, no matter when, all aspects must be considered.
Today he is equivalent to supporting Lan Yan, if he doesn't say anything to Sun Xian, I'm afraid others will think that Sun Xian has fallen out of favor.
This is not a good thing for Zhu Zhanji to balance the harem in the future.
The emperor was also there, and he couldn't talk during the meal, so the banquet seemed very boring, and Zhu Di also knew that he was here, and everyone was not used to it, so he quickly filled his stomach and left.
Everyone got up to send each other, and he waved his hand: "You don't have to be polite, just let Ji'er give me a ride." ”
With this in mind, the others stopped being polite and returned to their positions.
Zhu Zhanji took his left arm and sent him to Wenhua Gate before he spoke: "Princess Shu asked to come to me today, and I can't refuse. Lan Yu is dead, there is no need to re-evaluate the merits, in the future, it will be better for the Lan family, leaving the bloodline, which can be regarded as making up for the Lan family. ”
Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "Sun Er's province is just her identity......"
Zhu Di said with a smile: "Princess Shu is not stupid enough to let the Lan family recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors, this Lan family has nothing to do with Princess Shu." ”
Zhu Zhanji immediately nodded and said, "Grandson understands?" ”
Zhu Di asked again: "How is the naval affairs handled?" ”
"It won't take until May, and it will take some time for a complete change to take place. With the grandson's prediction, it will be useful to raise troops next year. ”
Zhu Di glared at Zhu Zhanji and said, "Be cautious, there are some things that can be done, but you can't say them." Dongying is a country that is not conquered, and this must not be forgotten. ”
Zhu Zhanji hurriedly smiled: "Yes, Daming just went to Dongying to arrest thieves." ”
Zhu Di nodded and said, "This matter should not be publicized. It's a pity that the Japanese who went to winter didn't dare to harass my coast, but only went to Ryukyu to loot, otherwise I would have been famous in the Ming Dynasty. ”
Zhu Zhanji comforted: "My Ming Navy has not been rectified yet, and I am not in a hurry at this time, in short, before the next summer, my grandson will definitely be able to get ironclad evidence." ”
Zhu Di originally used this incident to test Zhu Zhanji, so he didn't give much guidance on the formation of the navy, so he was ready to leave.
At this time, Zhu Zhanji thought about it again and said: "Grandpa Huang, just now Dingguo Gong and his grandson asked the prince to be included in the young army, and the grandson agreed. And I want to include more noble children and put them in the young army to temper them. ”
Zhu Di stood still, muttered for a while and said: "This matter is very good, those noble children do not have the spirit of their ancestors, and they are wandering in the capital and ruining the atmosphere. However, the young army has learned a lot of things, and some skills cannot be passed on on on a large scale, so they must be taught by people in the future. ”
"My grandson wrote it down."
As soon as Zhu Di left, the atmosphere in the Wenhua Hall became much more lively, and when Zhu Zhanji came back, it was already a staggered cup of glasses.
When he came back, he was naturally concerned by some elders. On weekdays, they have few opportunities to get close to their grandsons, and today they just happened to have a relationship in the wine field.
In terms of face work, Zhu Zhanji is still very good at it. He is not proud of his identity, but only drinks with them as a junior.
