Chapter 636 Chengdong Palace and the Crown Prince
"Have you heard of them?"
As soon as this holy decree was placed, someone immediately turned their heads and ears, after all, this kind of big event, how could they not hear anything in advance?
"No, the emperor has four daughters, all of whom are married, don't you think the queen is lonely, so find her a companion? In this way, there will be someone by your side, and you will not be so lonely. A minister muttered.
"There is some truth, but I have heard of the emperor before......" Before the other minister finished speaking, he felt a pain in his buttocks, and suddenly woke up, can this kind of thing be nonsense? That's a head-off thing.
"You see, there is one last holy decree, what is more important than Princess Feng, I have to put it to the end."
Everyone is no longer entangled in the princess's problem, after all, it is not the first time that the princess has been crowned, and they are more concerned about the content of the last holy decree.
However, many people have guessed something, more important than the princess, it is naturally the candidate for the prince, has Zhu Di already made up his mind?
So everyone began to discuss again, and the most worried person was naturally Zhu Gaoxu, for the position of the prince, he paid a lot, invited Taoist priests, invited bandits.
Zheng San, no, it should be called Zheng He now, took out the last holy decree and read it out loud.
"Fengtian carrier! The emperor said! The crown prince Zhu Gaoxi was given the title of King of Jin, and the prince Zhu Gaosui was the King of Zhao. Zheng He said loudly.
"Sure enough, Zhu Di has made up his mind."
Hearing this, Hu Ye knew that Zhu Di had made up his mind to establish a prince, although he still remembered the story of the Tang Dynasty told by Zhu Di, but the matter had to be solved after all, and it was impossible to kill each other in order to grow up, after all, Zhu Di only had four sons.
Now is the time for everyone to hold their breath and concentrate, two sons have been crowned kings, and the other two are princes. One is the prince, and whoever is the prince means who they are going to stammer, and these people naturally have to prick up their ears to listen.
The most excited is Zhu Gaoxu, for this moment, he has been working hard for a long time, from the Battle of Jingyan a few years ago, he was only a teenager at the time, and he followed Zhu Di to fight in the south and the north, bleeding and sweating. The reason is that Zhu Di said at the beginning, "The son of the world is weak and weak, and it is difficult to become a big tool." ”
Now that the time has come to reveal the answer, he can't help but be excited.
Zhu Gaochi is not much better, but he still has some weight, and others can't see it, in fact, his heart is already trembling.
"Crown Prince Zhu Gaoxu as the King of Han!"
As soon as Zheng San's words came out, people immediately sat down on the ground, all of whom were people who stood in line early, standing on Zhu Gaoxu's side. And most of them are people in the army, after all, Zhu Gaochu was brave in battle, and in their opinion, Zhu Gaochi, who was wide and fat. can't be a prince at all, not to mention that Zhu Di is an emperor who can fight well, as long as he is not sick in the brain, he will make Zhu Gaoxu the prince.
But in the end they were wrong. Zhu Di set up Zhu Gaochu as the king of Han, which means that the crown prince will be Zhu Gaochi, the incompetent person in their eyes.
And the one who was hit the hardest should be Zhu Gaoxu. But it seems that he didn't have too much disappointment, after hearing that he was sealed, he immediately thanked him, which made everyone around him look at him in surprise, when did Zhu Gaoxu endure it so much?
"Ying An saw it really accurately, knowing that the court would canonize the crown prince today, if I make trouble unreasonably, I am afraid that I will be suspected of not knowing the general situation in the eyes of the ministers, but today I am afraid that it will be ......" Zhu Gaoxu stood up and glanced at the ministers around him with his spare eyes, but he sneered in his heart, if it was before, he would definitely make trouble, but before going to the court today, he talked with Yu Zhongmou for an hour, talked about various possibilities, and set a countermeasure, so he could deal with it calmly.
"Huh? There is indeed a master behind him. ”
When Hu Ye saw that Zhu Gaochu was unmoved, he knew that there must be someone behind Zhu Gaochu to point him out, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible to be so calm.
Thinking about the various competitions between Zhu Gaochu and Zhu Gaochi in the future, Hu Ye felt that his head was big, Zhu Gaochu had such a master's guidance, Zhu Gaochi was only afraid that he was restless.
"From now on, the prince will be appointed as the crown prince, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and when I am not there, he will supervise state affairs and handle the affairs of the world. The name Daoyan Master is Yao Guangxiao, the young master of the crown prince, from now on, he will live in the East Palace and assist the prince in supervising state affairs. Zheng He finished reading the final decree, and everyone began to talk again.
It was normal for Monk Yan to not be rewarded before, but now he was slapped in the face by Zhu Di, not that there was no reward, but a big reward, the prince and young master, in the future, Zhu Gaochi will be leveled, that is, the emperor, his merit can be described as a high merit of hard work, plus he is also Rongguo Gong, and his glory is no longer under Zhang Yu.
Although Monk Daoyan does not seem to have real power as Zhang Yu now, having such a person to assist Zhu Gaochi seems to be more stable than having Zhang Yu's support, after all, they all know the status of Monk Daoyan in Zhu Di's heart.
"Your Majesty." Monk Daoyan bowed to thanksgiving.
And after all the holy decrees were read, everyone had to thank them, and sure enough, the last early pilgrimage of the first year was full of surprises.
However, all these surprises are not over, when Zheng He finished reading it, Zhu Di suddenly stood up and said loudly, "Qiu Fu, Duke of Qi, and Zhu Neng, Duke of Chengguo, stepped forward to listen to the order!" ”
When Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng heard this, they hurriedly stepped forward, but this time Zhu Di did not announce the holy decree, it was very likely that it was a temporary idea, and he didn't know what he would let them do.
"From now on, Qiu Fu, the Duke of Qi, appoints the prince and the prince, and Zhu Neng, the Duke of Chengguo, who also serves as the prince and the prince, and assists the prince together with the Duke of Rongguo." Zhu Di said loudly.
As soon as these words came out, they immediately caused shock in the court, there was originally a prince as the backing, Zhu Gaochi's crown prince position was very stable, and now there are two more princes to assist, anyone can see that Zhu Di is partial to Zhu Gaochi, is what they saw before wrong?
"Jin Zhong, the squire of the military department, and Hu Ye of Fanchang stepped forward to listen to the order." Zhu Di didn't seem to be finished, and called Jin Zhong and Hu Ye out again.
Hu Ye felt bad when he heard it, he didn't want to get involved, but Zhu Di didn't seem to want to let himself go, so he forced himself to pull himself inside.
The matter has come to this point, there is no escape, Hu Ye and Jin Zhong have no choice but to stand up.
"From now on, Jin Zhong, the squire of the Ministry of War, will be promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of War, and concurrently serve as the Zhan Shi of the East Palace, and Hu Ye of Fanchang Hou will be promoted to the head of the Ministry of War, and concurrently serve as the Shao Zhan of the East Palace, and together with the three princes, he will assist the prince of the East Palace and assist the supervisor of the country!"
Zhu Di said loudly.
This time, the people in the court were completely dumbfounded, judging from the previous real dragon incident, Zhu Di didn't seem to want to have a showdown so quickly, otherwise Zhu Gaochu should be punished, after all, with Zhu Di's brain, he would not have thought that this was Zhu Gaochu's doing, plus when Zhu Gaochi returned to Beijing, he found a bandit in Shandong to intercept and kill, which was enough for him to make up his mind to clean up Zhu Gaoxu.
But Zhu Di didn't do that, and after Zhu Gaochu returned from the flood control, he also praised him lavishly, everyone thought that Zhu Di would continue to let his two sons pinch each other, but they didn't expect that this time they couldn't hide their ears with lightning speed, canonized the prince, established the East Palace, and sent a large number of ministers to the East Palace, and the only four princes sent three, is it a complete abandonment of Zhu Gaoxu?
The most painful thing to hear this news was Zhu Gaochi, Yu Zhongmou gave him a lot of advice, but he didn't mention this, because they really didn't expect that Zhu Di would be so biased towards Zhu Gaochi and sent so many ministers to assist Zhu Gaochi.
However, after staying with Yu Zhongmou for a long time, he also developed a deep understanding, and knew that he must not mess up at this time, so he chose to remain silent.
After Zhu Di finished speaking, he glanced at Zhu Gaoxu and found that he was not as uneasy as he expected, and there was a little more surprise in his heart, could it be that his son had really grown up?
"If you have something to do, you have nothing to do!"
After Zhu Di sat down, Zheng He yelled, but no one spoke anymore, because there were too many things today, and they all needed to digest and digest them.
Hu Ye really wanted to go home as soon as possible and go back to accompany Yingxue, he thought that he would be able to leave after retiring from the dynasty, but he was left behind by Zhu Di, and with him were Dao Yan, Zhu Neng, Qiu Fu, and Jin Zhong, all of whom were from the East Palace.
Before leaving, Zhu Gaochu cast an unknown look, whether it was hatred or disgust, Hu Ye didn't know, but he knew that this Zhu Gaochu was no longer the Zhu Gaochu of Yanwangfu back then, he had gradually stepped into the rut of history, and he would slowly walk into Zhu Di's old path in the future, but he was not as lucky as Zhu Di.
And those who stayed with them were Xie Jin, the main figure in compiling the Yongle Canon, the reason why Zhu Di was able to make Zhu Gaochi the crown prince was because of the Daoyan monk, and the other was because of the words of this goods, "Good saint grandson." ”
The so-called good saint grandson refers to Zhu Gaochi's son Zhu Zhanji, although he is only six years old, he is extremely smart and is quite loved by Zhu Di.
"From now on, you will all be guests of the East Palace, and you will do your best to assist the prince in handling government affairs, understand?"
Zhu Di sat on the dragon chair, looked at the few people in the hall, and said loudly.
Several people understood that Zhu Di would leave him behind, and he would definitely not just tell such a sentence, there must be a follow-up, but he didn't break it, just nodded yes.
"In addition to assisting the crown prince, teach the emperor and grandson more, especially you." Zhu Di said and pointed at Hu Ye, making Hu Ye's eyebrows raised, why did he pull it on his head.
"Here you are the youngest and have the most brilliant brain, not only to assist the crown prince, but also to try your best to teach the emperor and grandson to know?" Zhu Di said loudly.
"Wechen obeys."
Even if Hu Ye was unwilling, he had to agree.
Only then did everyone come to their senses, and Zhu Di left them behind, not to assist the crown prince, but more importantly, to assist the emperor and grandson. also understands that it seems that Zhu Di's purpose in establishing the crown prince is not for Zhu Gaochi, but for Zhu Zhanji, the only six-year-old grandson.
