Chapter 308: Yongle

Emperor Taizong of this dynasty, Zhu Biao, with the year name Yongle, is the eldest son of Emperor Taizu.

He is a legendary king of this dynasty, both civil and military, poetry, and many inventions.

Glass, soap, cement, wine, everything came from him.

It is said that during his reign, he also used cement to overhaul the world's official roads and build water conservancy to benefit future generations.

He also advocated moving the capital and moving the capital from Jinling to Beiping City, saying that "the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies in Sheji", which was praised by the government and the public.

He personally formulated the planning drawings of the new capital, detailing the roads and alleys in the inner and outer cities, and he had to name them himself. The layout of the palace was also set by him. At his insistence, the construction of the new capital lasted for ten years.

The reason why it was only ten years was not that the new capital was built ten years later, but that ten years later, he died, and the proposal to move the capital was shelved. Most of the new capital was re-downgraded to Beiping City, and the Yanwang Mansion that was sealed there was cheaper.

However, this advantage was not taken advantage of by outsiders in the end, because at that time, the former Yan King Zhu Di had passed away, and his descendants were not good, and he was imprisoned and seized the title for various reasons, and some people were even removed from the jade name. Strictly speaking, the city of Beiping, which Emperor Taizong worked so hard to build, fell into the hands of his own flesh and blood.

Xie Mulin listened to the Song family's introduction of the deeds of this legendary emperor a little numbly, and there was only one thought in his heart: "It turns out that before me, there was already a traverser, and it was directly worn on Zhu Biao's body!" ”

Dressed as Zhu Biao, Zhu Biao did not die early, and it was not Zhu Yunwen, the grandson of the emperor, who inherited the throne of Ming Tai and ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang, so naturally there would be no Zhu Di's martyrdom, and then ascended the throne as Emperor Yongle. Zhu Biao directly took the name of Yongle, and it seems that he is quite happy to be the emperor, and he has used modern knowledge to benefit himself.

The reason why he had the idea of moving the capital to Beiping is probably because he wants to complete the great cause of Emperor Yongle moving the capital in history, and secondly, because Beijing is the capital in his mind, right? Since he personally designed the city of Beiping, even the names of the streets and alleys had to be decided, which means that most of the new capital was built according to the Beijing in his memory.

Xie Mulin thought to herself that if she went to Beiping City to meet her father Xie Pu at this time, she would probably find that she was quite familiar with the streets and roads of that city. At the very least, she would know what the pattern of the central axis was like. When she traveled to Beijing, she took a tourist map to study various attractions near the Forbidden City.

Even the textbooks and materials in her study space do not necessarily have a map of Beijing.

Song briefly introduced the deeds of Emperor Yongle of Taizong of the Ming Dynasty, and mentioned his invention in the past: "Cement square, in the Taizong Dynasty, was widely used, but all roads in the world are almost built with it, and even the frontier post is also built with it and sand and stone. It's just that this thing can't last long, and it will take about ten years to touch it, and it will have to be broken and rebuilt. But even so, the cost is much less than the previous method. Therefore, in the border towns, cement is extremely popular. The world's galloping road is also dominated by cement. ”

Wen sighed as she listened, but she didn't understand a little: "Since it's such a good thing, why don't we hear about it so often on weekdays?" I was born in a scholarly family, grew up in a wealthy family, and spent more than ten years with descendants like the Cao family. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so surprised when Sister Zhen talked about it. ”

Song sighed: "Cement is naturally a good thing. Emperor Taizong was also a rare saint in this dynasty. It's just that...... The Holy Monarch has his own intentions in doing things, but it is not something that ordinary mediocre people can understand......"

Emperor Zhu Biao, Emperor Yongle of Taizong of the Ming Dynasty, has done countless great things in his life, and has also used various magical inventions to obtain a lot of wealth for himself. All these riches belong to the Inner Treasury. With this money, Emperor Yongle is very confident in everything he does, and he doesn't need to be constrained by the ministers at all.

At the same time, Emperor Yongle also had a unique method of training soldiers, and let the general make several firearms and improve the military crossbow, which greatly improved the combat strength of the Ming army and won him supreme prestige in the army.

With these confidences, Emperor Yongle wanted to move the capital, even if there were countless ministers who were reluctant, no one dared to openly oppose it. The new capital is the drawings he personally draws, and he allocated eighty percent of the money and grain materials from the inner treasury to build, and he also solved the problem of cutting the feudal domain in advance, and even the strongest Yan King Zhu Di among the feudal kings have died of illness or returned to Beijing to retire, and no one can stop him at all.

However, no one dares to openly oppose him, which does not mean that no one is making small moves in private.

For example, Wenchen will feel that Emperor Yongle attaches too much importance to military generals, despises Wenchen, attaches too much importance to industry and commerce, and despises scholars, and they hope that Emperor Yongle can listen to their exhortations and become an ideal benevolent monarch. Since Emperor Yongle didn't agree, they could only count on the crown prince.

For example, military generals, although most people admire Emperor Yongle very much, some people feel that his prestige in the army is too high, which is not conducive to commanding his subordinates; There are also people who hate firearms, thinking that Emperor Yongle invented and promoted these things to stifle their future; There are also people who think that Emperor Yongle is too strict, and it is normal for those who lead soldiers to drink some soldier blood, but Emperor Yongle severely punishes this kind of behavior, doesn't this make them have no way to live? There are also people who used to be generals under the vassal king, and they always feel that the emperor killed their king, and they secretly want to be loyal to the king and take revenge on the tyrant or something......

For example, the queens and princes of the harem, Emperor Yongle looked down on his eldest son Zhu Yunwen, and he was also very dissatisfied with Zhu Yunwen, the son of the second queen Xu. His favorite is a prince born of a palace person, not only looks like him, but also has a temperament that looks like him, and he is also smart and clever since he was a child, and he can quickly understand his various orders and propositions. No one knows if Emperor Yongle thought about letting this prince replace Zhu Yunyan's crown prince, but the queen and the prince, the nobles and the courtiers were all very frightened and thought that this must be avoided. No matter how smart that prince is, no matter how favored he is, he is neither the eldest nor the eldest son, and his biological mother died young, how can He De surpass the two brothers and become the master of the East Palace?

What happened during that time, Song was reluctant to say too clearly, maybe the history books she had read herself were not clearly written.

Anyway, the result was that Emperor Yongle made a quick decision, and after his favorite prince fell from a horse and was injured, he quickly succeeded him to the Yan Palace, depriving him of the right to inherit the throne in disguise, but at the same time saving his life. However, soon after that, Emperor Yongle's physical condition deteriorated dramatically, and it is said that he was not well maintained when he was young, leaving behind future troubles, and the recurrence of old diseases was difficult to cure.

Emperor Yongle unexpectedly died in the prime of life, and the throne passed to his sister-in-law, the crown prince Zhu Yunyan, with the year name Xuanwen. Emperor Xuanwen had a completely different temperament from his father, and at the suggestion of the empress dowager, courtiers, and nobles, he ordered the plan to stop moving the capital. Many of the policies and ideas of the Yongle Emperor during his lifetime have also been abolished.

People are dead.
