Although the crown princess and the princess knew about Zhu Zhanji's stay in Sun Qingyang's confinement afterwards, they all admonished a few words, and Zhu Zhanji promised that it was just those two days, but everyone didn't pay too much attention to this matter, after all, although this matter was not in accordance with the rules, but in the Duanben Palace, the imperial grandson had the final say, and the crown princess also knew that Sun Qingyang was not the one who was confused by the flattering lord on weekdays, although the concubine was a little uneasy, it was not easy to blame the noble concubine for the things left by Zhu Zhanjiqiang, and this matter was revealed.

In the blink of an eye, the full moon of the little county lord Jinyu has passed, and the hundred days are full, and the day has reached June of the twenty-second year of Yongle.

Emperor Yongle of the Northern Expedition had already defeated the three guards of Wuliang Ha and then the Tatar army, and arrived in Daning safely.

Daning, once the seventeenth son of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, the fief of Ning King Zhu Quan, Ning King Zhu Quan has been smart and studious since childhood. In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu (1392), when Zhu Quan was 15 years old, Ming Taizu defended Mongolia and made him a vassal in Daning, and Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and other princes controlled the soldiers and horses along the border, and was called King Ning.

In the first year of Jianwen, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, launched a four-year battle of Jingnan, before the army, he had arrived in Daning to coerce Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, to send troops to help, and promised to capture Jinling, and he divided the world and ruled. In June of the fourth year of Jianwen, King Yan marched into Jinling, seized power and ascended the throne as emperor, with the year name Yongle. Later, under the pretext that Zhu Quan was meritorious in the change of "Jingjing", he acted arrogantly and recklessly, changed his fief to Nanchang, Jiangxi, and seized his military power, at that time, Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, was only 25 years old.

Deeply hurt by this cannibalistic wound, King Ning was discouraged, Taoguang kept obscurity, and more correspondence with literati and bachelors, pinned his affection on opera, entertainment, writings, and Taoism, he was versatile, and he was involved in the subset of classics and history, the nine streams, the ephemeris, the medical divination, and the Huang Lao Zhushu, and the opera, the history of the work is quite rich, there are dozens of books such as "The Secret History of the Han and Tang Dynasties".

Ning Wangshan guqin, compiled the guqin music collection "Magical Secret Score" and the North Music Score and the commentary "Taihe Zhengyin Score", the production of the "neutralization" qin, called "Flying Waterfall Lianzhu", is the history of the record of the treasure of the world, known as the first qin of the Ming Dynasty.

He was happy and clear, careful about the tea ceremony, and once wrote his tea drinking experience and experience into "Tea Recipe".

Although Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, was so filial and humble, willing to write well, and obeyed the law reasonably, Emperor Yongle was quite jealous of him, and even forbade him to enter the imperial city for many years.

Now, King Ning is nearly fifty, and Emperor Yongle has already passed the year of the sixtieth year, in the palace of Daning, in the palace of King Ning in the past, Emperor Yongle remembered the past, and thought of muttering, "Seventeenth brother, don't blame your fourth brother, there are no two kings in the country, and there are no two lords in the sky, in fact, in this position, how can I have a happy day?" It's not as good as your affection for the landscape, the way of qin tea, come at ease......"

"I don't want to bear the world, so I have to bear you, seventeenth brother, I hope you can understand the fourth brother's hard work, understand the fourth brother's last resort, and forgive me for my treachery."

"Cough, cough-" The July scorching heat, even at night, it was still unstoppable, but the cold Emperor Yongle was wrapped in a thick quilt, and after this wild cough passed, he spoke: "Quickly summon Jin Youzi, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, to come." โ€

This night, Emperor Yongle agreed to Jin Youzi's previous request for the class to return to the court, after all, since the march to the Lanmu Naer River in mid-June, Arutai, who is accustomed to escaping, has led the enemy army to disappear, and the Ming army is also tired of soldiers, tired of men and horses, and his body is not as good as day by day.

On the way back to the division, Emperor Yongle handed over all the major affairs of the military state to the prince after returning to Beijing, and he wanted to be an idle emperor, and discussed with his most trusted British public Zhang Fu, the first assistant Yang Rong, and the scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion Jin Youzi, and happily arranged a happy and idle life in the future.

However, he didn't wait for that day after all, and it was impossible for him to live a carefree life like King Ning, whom he admired in his heart. On July 18, when the army marched to Yumuchuan, Emperor Yongle died of illness at the age of 65, leaving behind an edict that was passed on to the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, and the funeral was the same as the old system of Emperor Taizu Gao.

On the one hand, Yang Rong hurried back to Beijing with people to obituary, on the other hand, the British Gong Zhang Fu, Jin Youzi and Emperor Yongle around Ma Yun to stabilize the army's heart, do not mourn, every day Jin, eat as usual, but all the edicts are from the hands of Jin Youzi, all the way back to Beijing, a total of seven days of impermeable, until the imperial grandson Zhu Zhanji heard the news from Beijing, he dared to announce the news of the death of Emperor Yongle to the world.

In the past seven days, Jin Youzi has been worried every day, but if anyone knows in advance that Emperor Yongle has collapsed, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Fortunately, with the last time Emperor Yongle cheated death, although Emperor Yongle did not show up for seven days, those who learned the news still did not dare to act rashly.

And Yang Rong and his entourage also arrived in Beijing smoothly and reported the news to the crown prince Zhu Gaochi.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, long live the death of the Prince...... Collapse in Daning! โ€

When he heard Yang Rong, who was dusty and haggard, say this sentence in his mouth, in an instant, there was silence in the huge Wenhua Palace, and the crown prince Zhu Gaochi only felt a loud bang in his head, as if there were fragments exploding from his head, and he was stunned and burned inside.

His father, the Emperor Dragon, is in the sky? He respected, feared, hated him, doubted his father, and sometimes he even secretly hoped in his heart that the deceased father had really died?

After the initial shock, and even a little relieved, the sadness in the prince's heart poured out, although he had lived on thin ice and trembling over the years, but the Yongle Emperor had really collapsed, and he was still heartbroken.

Seventeen years ago, he lost his beloved and doting mother, and seventeen years later, he lost his heroic father, who in his last days was still thinking about clearing the war for his son who was not good at military affairs.

Over the years, my father's hatred of himself is not a deep responsibility of love!

Hearing Yang Rong's crying and reading out the edict of the Son of Heaven, Zhu Gaochi, who had been crying incessantly, only felt that his body was heavy, and his body leaning forward suddenly lost his balance.

"Come on, go to Emperor Xuan's grandson quickly!"

After listening to the edict, these words burst out of Zhu Gaochi's mouth. Seeing the figure of the chamberlain rushing away, he bowed deeply to the ground and cried bitterly, "Father, father-"

As soon as he took the lead in crying, everyone in the Wenhua Hall who was already kneeling on the ground cried loudly, and the cries of one after another lingered in the hall, spread to the outside of the hall, to the inner palace, and also to the Duanben Palace.

With the sound of crying, Zhu Zhanji hurried over, because he walked too fast, he almost tripped over the high threshold when he entered the main hall, and when he saw the crowd crying in the Wenhua Palace, he was still a little unclear because he was too shocked, and he didn't want to believe it in his heart.

Compared with the prince's feelings for Emperor Yongle more fear than respect, fear more than love, Zhu Zhanji for Emperor Yongle is a real admiration, he grew up beside Empress Renxiao and Emperor Yongle since he was a child, and was deeply loved by his grandfather and grandmother, Emperor Yongle for him, is a grandfather, a father and brother, a teacher, and a good friend.

He cried more sadly and mourningly than anyone in the Wenhua Palace.

However, no matter how sad and sad it is, there are still more important things to do. Fortunately, Yang Rong brought back the edict of the Son of Heaven this time, and the crown prince's succession to the throne was justified, which also made the officials who stayed in Beijing to assist the prince happy. In order to prevent changes, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi made a decision and ordered the emperor's grandson Qingyang Zhu Zhanji to lead the elite division of Zhennanwei, Xiaocai Right Guard, and Dragon Tiger Guard, which was under the jurisdiction of the Left Army Governor's Mansion in Beijing, and immediately rushed to Daning for mourning.

At the same time, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi mobilized the 26 guards of the pro-army directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor with the prince's order, and the guards under the jurisdiction of the governor's office of the five armies, so that the entire division was impregnable.

At that time, all the officials who heard the news of the death of the Son of Heaven in the Wenhua Hall stayed in the palace and waited for Zhu Zhanji to arrive at the palace in Daning.

Although, all the way to the horse, day and night, Zhu Zhanji's eyelids were fighting, but his mind still kept turning.

Scene by scene, scene by scene, are all scenes where he and Emperor Yongle are together.

The imperial grandfather asked him about his homework, the imperial grandfather taught him to ride and shoot, the imperial grandfather took him to deal with the government affairs, and the imperial grandfather personally selected a master for him......

Even, just after reaching the crown, he was crowned the emperor's grandson.

The imperial grandfather thought of everything for him, but he did not enjoy his day's blessings, and even, he still has no son, which has become a matter that the imperial grandfather has always regretted.

In the past, when Emperor Yongle was there, Zhu Zhanji never felt helpless, but now, he suddenly felt a sense of loneliness.

Father, about to ascend the throne as emperor, he is not his favorite prince, the father and son, will he be like his father and the king, will he be like his father and the king, worried about the suspicion of father and son?

At this moment, he understood his grandfather Emperor Yongle and the crown prince Zhu Gaochi.

We must bring back the coffin of the emperor's grandfather safely, so that my father can ascend the throne as the emperor smoothly.

Looking at the lights in Daning City, Zhu Zhanji once again raised his whip to urge the horse forward.

After Xue Lu, Marquis of Yangwu, stayed in Daning, on the tenth day of August in the 22nd year of Yongle, Zhu Zhanji, the crown prince Zhu Zhanji, together with the British Gong Zhang Fu, Anyuan Marquis Liu Sheng, Ningyang Marquis Chen Mao and others led the army to escort the Yongle Emperor Dragon to Beijing, the crown prince, the prince and the civil and military ministers were all dressed in decay clothes, and wept in the suburbs of Beijing to welcome the inner one, and the crown prince personally supported the coffin to be enshrined in the Renzhi Palace, and the Nazi Palace was buried.

In the capital, from the day of the funeral, the temple will ring 30,000 bells and prohibit slaughter for 49 days.

There are a few feasts in the palace, and we cry day and night. Hundreds of officials are plain clothes, crying day and night. The Ministry of Rites sets the funeral, and the palace from the crown prince and the kings and princesses to the palace from the day they wear filial piety clothes, they will be cut down for three years, and they can only be removed in 27 months.
