Chapter 16 The Divine Decree bestows the title of the Emperor's eldest grandson
The old man's appearance was extremely ugly, and after being dragged up, when he saw the emperor, he was even more frightened on the spot.
rolled his eyes, and he was about to faint, but he was pinched by the brocade guards and rescued by force.
"Xiaomin, Xiaomin knocks to see the emperor......"
When Zhu Di saw his situation, he couldn't help but restrain the momentum on his body, tried not to scare him, and asked: "Don't be afraid, I didn't call you to kill you, you answer truthfully, and I will ask Jinyiwei to get you a hundred taels of silver later." ”
"Tell me everything you saw and heard eleven years ago."
The old man trembled and recalled: "Eleven years ago, when the Jingnan army entered the city, I panicked, and fled to Yangzhou with my family. ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di's pupils condensed: "How old is that baby?" ”
The old man recalled: "About ...... I guess I'm about three or four years old. ”
Around the age of three or four, Zhu Zhanji disappeared when he was four years old.
Zhu Di's breathing became short: "What does it look like?" ”
The old man hurriedly shook his head: "It's been too long, I forgot, but I was short of coils, so I went to the pile of dead people for a while, and when I turned over to the baby, there were deep strangulation marks on the baby's neck, and I also found a badge from his arms." ”
"The one with the wolf's head should be something from the Tartars, it's unlucky, I didn't ask for ......"
The old man said to himself that Zhu Di's breathing was getting heavier and heavier.
Although it is not completely certain, after the old man's self-report, this matter should be eight or nine years old.
It turned out that Zhu Chen was really the grandson of the Ming Dynasty, and his grandson, Zhu Di, who had been taught since childhood, was really not dead.
"Hahaha, God treats me well, let me sit in the world, and return my grandson to me after eleven years." Zhu Di laughed.
His laughter was hearty and cheerful.
The feelings of longing that had been held back for eleven years were released at this moment.
The huge study room was filled with the echo of Zhu Di's laughter.
The old man didn't know why the emperor was laughing, but he explained things clearly, and there was nothing to do with him, and Jinyiwei took him down again.
Ji Gang waited quietly on the side.
Zhu Di crossed his waist and paced back and forth in the main hall, laughing twice from time to time, obviously the afterglow of joy had not stopped.
After a long while, Zhu Di suddenly shouted: "Ji Gang." ”
"The minister is here!" Ji Gang hurriedly responded.
Zhu Di walked up to Ji Gang and sneered: "Two soldiers threw the grandson to the mass grave, these two soldiers are the soldiers of my Yongle Dynasty or the soldiers of the Jianwen Old Dynasty?" ”
"Who is behind this?"
"Who's the big hand behind the scenes?"
"Wechen go check!" Ji Gang said solemnly.
Zhu Di sneered, patted Ji Gang's shoulder heavily, and said: "Check it out, check it well, I'm not in a hurry, I give you a lot of time, and when it comes out, who dares to murder my Zhu Di's grandson, then we'll see." ”
This matter involved eleven years ago, which was too far away, and it was difficult to track down the real culprit.
Ji Gang arched his hand: "Yes!" ”
Now, Zhu Chen's identity has almost been determined, and Zhu Di is excited, and he returns to the front of the case.
He laid out a blank piece of paper, held a pen in his hand, and looked thoughtful, as if he was thinking about how to put pen to paper.
Ji Gang is a person with a good mind, how can he not know what the emperor wants to do?
Knowing the true identity of the young man, even if it hasn't been fully investigated, it's time to make a decree to give it a seal.
Emperor, what title will you give that young man?
Is it just to restore the name of the eldest grandson, or to restore the ...... That most honorable title, the eldest grandson of the emperor?
Don't look at the difference between these two words, but the situation is worlds apart, and it can even affect the entire world.
If it's just the eldest grandson, it's not a big deal.
If the eldest grandson of the emperor is given, it means that the position of the crown prince is secure, and the Han King Zhu Gaoxu should go to Yunnan to become a vassal, and Zhu Chen will also become the most obedient heir to the throne after the crown prince!
Before he became an adult, he booked the throne first, what kind of honor is this, what kind of glory is this?
In all dynasties, which emperor and grandson can do this?
Moreover, once the eldest grandson of the emperor is given, the crumbling position of the prince will also be stained with his son's light, and the position of the East Palace will be solid from now on!
If this is the case, Ji Gang expressed some favor to the prince in advance.
At this moment, the emperor's decision is very crucial, seeing that the emperor is slow to write, Ji Gang's heart seems to be trembling, excited, and nervous.
After pondering for a long time, Zhu Di waved his pen and wrote on the holy decree.
If you owe it to your grandson, you can't be a grandfather, and you have to pay it back.
: Taisun Zhu Zhanji, disappeared at the time of the Jing disaster, eleven years of exile in the people, fortunately blessed by the sky, returned to the royal family, Zhu Zhanji is of good character, wisdom and bravery, today to the ancestors, to the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, to the great tomorrow, Zhu Zhanji as the eldest grandson of the Ming Emperor, enjoy the royal guard of honor!
Zhu Di's words are not very good, but they are sharp and powerful, like a sword standing upside down, and the edge is exposed.
Zhu Di usually uses the vernacular holy decree, but when it comes to this major event, he should be cautious.
After the holy decree was written, Zhu Di put down his pen, and Ji Gang couldn't help but be curious: "Dare to ask the emperor, ...... the name you gave your grandson?"
Zhu Di smiled casually: "He has suffered for eleven years, and it is not too much to give an emperor's eldest grandson." ”
The eldest grandson of the emperor!
Ji Gang's expression trembled, and his heart was shocked, and sure enough, it was the same as he thought.
"Emperor, then I'm going to deliver the decree? By the way, take the prince's family back to the palace? Ji Gang hurriedly asked.
Once the eldest grandson of the emperor is canonized, there are many cumbersome procedures, first of all, the prince, as the father of the grandson, will definitely return to the palace to live.
Zhu Di leaned on the desk, just wanted to nod his head and let Ji Gang do it, but after thinking about it again, he shook his head and said, "The road hasn't been paved yet, what are you doing with that kid involved in this court?" Do you think the court is really so calm on the surface? ”
"This court is very turbulent."
Zhu Di squinted his eyes, his appearance was more terrifying than that of a tiger.
Zhu Di also thought about it just now, if the identity of the grandson is directly announced, then the Ming Dynasty will be treacherous, and the court situation that has been difficult to sort out will be chaotic again, and there may be party disputes.
That kid is fledgling now, can he bear it?
And he has been driving away all the year round, if he is not in Yingtian, how should he deal with it? Do you rely on his father's straw bale?
The prince lost him once, and Zhu Di would not rest assured that he would hand over the grandson to him a second time.
This time, the grandson was reborn, and he, who was a grandfather, had to protect it personally!
Thinking of this, Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "This matter is kept secret for the time being, you buy a yard for the old man's family in Yingtian, give them silver for eating and drinking every month, and let them stay in Yingtian." ”
This matter is very involved, and the old man must take good care of it, otherwise if he leaks it out, the Ming Dynasty will not be at peace.
"Yes." Ji Gang nodded.
Zhu Di looked at the holy decree he had just written, rolled it up again, and muttered: "Taisun, this holy decree grandpa wrote for you in advance, this position will be yours sooner or later, grandpa will find a suitable opportunity to make it public, and announce it to the world's ......"
Zhu Di muttered, and he was going to hide the holy decree.
But at this moment, outside the study's room, there was a sudden lightning and thunder!
