Then I turned around and started my daily workout.

While exercising, my dad kept asking about the twists and turns he had seen yesterday, including the ones he had seen in front of his dad yesterday.

Look at his perception, look at his response.

No matter how big or small, from top to bottom, I took the trouble to tell him the truth and the key.

Until the final questioning, when the two of them went to breakfast, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help asking: "Dad, did the hospital say something to you recently?" ”

Zhu Gaochi, the father who was eating, was stunned for a moment and said, "Too hospital? What do they say to me? ”

But as soon as he finished saying this, looking at his son's expression, Zhu Gaochi suddenly understood.

"What, now you wish your father was dying and no one cared about you, right?"

In this regard, Zhu Zhanji could only smile awkwardly and continue to bury his head in cooking.

Just like yesterday, standing behind his father Zhu Gaochi, like an accompanying palace maid, he watched his father Zhu Gaochi carry out daily government affairs.

Including discussing government affairs with those ministers every day, Zhu Zhanji also stood aside and listened quietly, unable to say any opinions.

And with such a life day by day.

Zhu Zhanji seems to have gradually become accustomed to this kind of life, and he doesn't need to be urged when he watches those recitals every day, and he takes the initiative to watch the recitals of the past years for an hour every day in the study.

And the content of these twists and turns, under his careful review, gradually saw the doorway.

Combined with the time and specific events and background of these folds at that time, I began to understand the information revealed in these twists and turns, as well as the intentions of my father Zhu Gaochi, grandfather Zhu Di, and even Emperor Jianwen and Emperor Taizu when reviewing these folds.

Especially during the period of Grandpa Hongwu.

In Zhu Zhanji's careful examination and reflection, the truth of many doubtful issues that were historical doubts in his previous life has gradually surfaced.

Especially the four eucalyptus of Hongwu that attracted the most attention from the world in later generations.

In fact, most of the things in the entire Hongwu period revolved around these four eucalyptus.

It can be said that these four eucalyptus can almost be said to be the epitome of the entire Hongwu period.

Hu Weiyong in the thirteenth year of Hongwu (1380), judging from these twists and turns of the imperial court coming and going every year, since the first year of Hongwu, the grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang accompanied the success of the uprising and sat in Nanjing City, which was Jinling City at that time.

From the past, he did everything himself, directly controlled the army, and began to be bound by the imperial throne in Jinling City.

Since then, although there has not changed much from the past in the early days, a few years later, the civil and military forces in the army began to be awarded.

Problems keep coming.

The method of commanding the army and the city under his command has changed from the reckless way of accepting righteous sons and nephews to a serious court style.

Many generals under his command support their own troops.

Among the civil officials, Li Shanchang made a decision.

Even if he ordered Yang Xian, who was loyal to him, to be the left prime minister of Zhongshu Province, he still lost the battle with Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong.

And the vast ocean, still like this.

In addition, Li Shanchang followed Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang very early, and had a very good relationship with the generals in that army.

It can be said that the forces above the entire court are basically composed of Huaixi nobles.

The civilian-military collusion is unrestrained.

And Zhu Yuanzhang, the grandfather who sat in the palace of Jinling City, was like a mascot who had been shelved.

What are the generals and civil servants under his command doing, he doesn't know how they oppress the people, how they accumulate wealth, and how they cronyism and gangs up.

He still didn't know.

If it weren't for the fact that he had cultivated a group of righteous sons and nephews in the army, plus his own nephews, as well as their old Zhu family, plus his feelings for those commanders in the army, especially Xu Da, were very deep.

In addition, there is almost no direct control.

In such a situation, it is natural that we cannot sit idly by and watch our power being hollowed out.

Wenchenzhong, began to cultivate the Zhedong Party.

In the army, several people from his old Zhu family were placed in key positions.

Even through some means, Li Shanchang, who had faintly become the noble leader of Huaixi, was forced to automatically resign and return to his hometown.

But after Li Shanchang left, he suffered from the lack of a suitable person to lead the entire Zhongshu Province, after all, in these years, the power of the entire Huaixi Party in the court has become stronger and stronger.

It seems that he found that this kind of personnel transfer can no longer change the current situation, so Emperor Taizu began to think about how to change the current situation.

Finally, through continuous reference to historical materials, we found the answer in the history books and development process of the past dynasties. It was discovered that the root cause of all this has nothing to do with who is appointed to what kind of official position.

The root cause of all this is because of class solidification and decentralization.

And the current imperial court structure and system will inevitably lead to such a situation.

is to change any emperor and appoint any courtier, and the outcome will be the same.

Therefore, in the years that followed, they began to plan for this root cause.

Although there is no explanation in these twists and turns, Zhu Zhanji still keenly found answers from these twists and turns and the list of personnel adjustments in the seven years after Hu Weiyong took office as the prime minister of Zhongshu Province.

In seven years, the entire Ming Dynasty began a series of adjustments from the frontier to the imperial court, from the army to the important official positions of logistics supply.

Almost all the official positions that hold all the real power, or in other words, any power, any army, must be restrained by those in their hands.

For example, the commander of the army may not be his own people, but the supply and logistics of this army must be controlled by him.

The military power around the capital, Jingzhao Mansion and so on......

After seven years of waiting and seven years of planning.

Finally, he began to target Zhongshu Province, the main culprit of the division of power in the eyes of Emperor Taizu, which led to the consolidation of classes and the reduction of monarchical power.

Moreover, during the seven years that Hu Weiyong was in power, he was a high-flying and domineering person, and he had the posture of treating the entire court as his own words.

In the process, imperial power has almost become a state of neglect.

Emperor Taizu was almost to the point where he couldn't bear it anymore.

Finally, after planning everything, I did it.

As for whether the convicted names are real or not, and whether they are fictitious, it is actually of little significance.

Because of the abolition of Zhongshu Province, a bomb must be detonated, so that it can be done in a normal and justifiable manner.

In the context of the abolition of Zhongshu Province and the centralization of imperial power, whether a courtier has the heart of rebellion or not is meaningless.

This is like the end of the Yuan Dynasty, when the world was in turmoil and the Yuan court was overthrown, whether the Yuan court had famous ministers and generals like Tokhtar Timur and Wang Baobao had no meaning at all.

If it were a different era, the era of Genghis Khan, these two people would inevitably establish a great cause.

Pity.

That's the trend.

And what is the general trend of feudal dynasties?

In fact, it's just two words, people's hearts!

It's like the world has been suffering for a long time, this is the hearts of the people in the world, and it is the general trend.

Under the general trend, the Ming Dynasty rose with the trend.

Can be abolished in the province, what is the general trend, the world has suffered for a long time.

There is no way for a scholar in the world to be promoted.

All parts of the country were oppressed by the Huaixi nobles.

Coupled with the eternal trend of feudal centralization.

Overnight.

The behemoth led by Hu Weiyong in the Ming court collapsed in an instant.

If it weren't for all this, how could an emperor who lived deep in the palace, had no three heads and six arms, and no doppelganger technique, control the world?

What is the power behind all this?

It is the power of the general trend of the world that is borrowed.

Just imagine, any scholar clan who is outside the power of Huaixi nobles, when they see this situation, which one will not increase their strength?

It is said that cutting off people's financial means is like killing their parents.

But the Huaixi nobles above the court are almost equivalent to sealing the road of the world's scholars.

And with Zhu Zhanji's continuous reading and thinking about the twists and turns of these years, he has learned a lot from them, as if he is crossing the times, and he is experiencing his unmasked grandfather.

Therefore, gradually, Zhu Zhanji not only did not have the slightest resistance to the matter of checking the folds every day, but also liked the process.

Not only that, but the habit of reading was cultivated along with him.

Many classic books of this era have begun to take the initiative to try to read them.

This process is the hardest at the beginning.

But slowly, when he experienced the happiness of not being known to outsiders in the process, the matter itself was no longer an irresistible task.

And after this experience, his once impetuous heart for the world gradually sank.

Begin to read slowly and try to understand everything.

Understand the meaning of a court, understand the meaning of a country, and understand the meaning of the life and life of the people in every era in the entire process of Chinese evolution.

Whether it is the scriptures of those saints, or the laws of the imperial court, or the military regulations in the army.

In fact, if you look closely, you will find that any industry, any existence, and any life in this world, and everything it does after living cannot escape two words, survival!

Monkeys come down from trees to survive, small groups are formed to survive, and tribes are formed to survive.

Large tribes, ethnic groups, city-states, nations.....

It's all about survival.

The saints have scriptures, laws, military rules, family rules, morality, and etiquette......

It's all the same because of survival.

The saints teach the world in order to teach everyone how to survive in this community.

The testimonies are for the individuals in this group to survive.

Military regulations are constraints and are necessary for the survival of the military system.

House rules are to tell people in the family how to survive.

.......

Even the establishment of the imperial court was for the survival of the state.

And the process of centralization of power by grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang and all the emperors of all dynasties is also constantly changing in order for the country to survive.

In other words, it's called ***.

It's like a sentence that I couldn't understand in my previous life, that is, what the teacher said, only *** can we embark on the right path.

Flip through history and see what history has given to the world.

Think about the entire historical process of the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

What is the root cause?

Some people say that the Ming Dynasty died in Wanli.

Some people say that the Ming Dynasty died in the Donglin Party.

In his previous life, he once firmly believed that Ming died in the Donglin Party, which was a sure thing.

But think about it carefully, think about everything that happened to Grandpa Zhu Yuanzhang, how similar it is.

But can you explain that the problems caused by the early Huaixi Xungui to the Ming Dynasty were because of Li Shanchang? Is it because of Hu Weiyong? Is it because of the existence of the Huaixi Xungui group?

Not really.

Whoever is in it, the choice is the same.

The dragon slayer will eventually become an evil dragon.

But why?

Looking through history, which dynasty is different.

And where is the real problem?

It is a matter of system, system, and rules, not an individual, not the existence of a certain force within the entire Ming Dynasty.

If the Donglin Party is replaced by Yu Qian, Ming will not die?

It may be continued, but the result cannot be changed.

This is the result of class solidification and the division of power in the era of feudal dynasties.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanji's great-grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, and the method he adopted was to abolish Zhongshu Province!

The imperial power was further centralized.

After reading the entire history of China, we can clearly see that this is the process of centralization of power in a country.

"Rebirth: The Great Age of Waves"

However, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the things that the ancestors did well reappeared in another form.

The results are clear.

What is the difference between the Donglin Party and the Huaixi Xungui.

In essence, it is the solidification of the power class.

The only way to solve these problems is to base ourselves on the public, based on the people of the world, and continue to carry out ***.

Because you don't ***, someone will kill you.

.......

It's been almost a year.

Under the constant pressure of his father Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Zhanji was also able to completely calm down, get rid of impetuousness, and began to immerse himself in learning.

And at the same time.

In the past year or so, the Ming army in the north of the country has also been overwhelmed and has recovered countless lands.

Countless war reports and good news began to spread back to the imperial court.

With the arrival of the court officials, the fifth Zhu Zhan was constantly building.

The entire territory that was already under the control of Saibei also began to develop.

Saibei, the camp of the Ming army.

Inside the dark main tent of the Chinese army.

General Chen Mao knelt in front of Emperor Zhu Di with an extremely solemn face, and beside him, there was also the British Gong Zhang Fu.

In the past year, the entire Ming army has hardly encountered any major obstacles.

The entire Saibei was incorporated into the territory of the Ming Dynasty under the command of their army.

These generals did not encounter any difficulties at all.

But now, in the narration of the emperor Zhu Di, both of them felt the murderous intent in the emperor's words.

It seems that as long as they have the slightest disobedience, or reveal the slightest disagreement, they will not be able to get out of this tent today.

"The emperor can rest assured, Chen Mao will do what the emperor says."

The British public on the side also made his own promise.

After hearing the two of them, Zhu Di nodded and waved his hand, signaling that he could go down.

After the two left, the entire tent became eerily silent.

It wasn't until Zhu Di on the dragon chair came back to his senses and got up slowly that he let out a long sigh.

In recent days, he has personally summoned many generals in the army.

While expanding his territory on the front line and making movements to attract everyone's attention, he was in the rear, and there was no idleness in the Chinese army camp.

Zhu Di slowly walked out of the camp tent, stood in the empty place in the camp, looked at the moon overhead, and said slowly: "Stinky boy, don't let your grandfather down......"

Half a month later.

Inside the Shang Study.

The crown prince Zhu Gaochi suddenly handed a piece of the fold in his hand to Zhu Zhanji behind him, and said, "Take a look." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji didn't think much about it, and took it over and looked at it.

After reading the content, Zhu Zhanji said in surprise: "The old man is finally willing to come back." ”

Daddy Zhu Gaochi nodded and said, "Well, you should prepare for the next two days, go ahead of time, and greet you halfway." ”

Regarding his father's words, Zhu Zhanji naturally didn't think much about it, and said, "Okay." ”

Three days later.

Zhu Zhanji took an escort of 200 people and set out from the capital of Shuntianfu and headed towards the army led by the old man Zhu Di.

Not surprisingly, they would meet two days later in a city in the Ming Dynasty.

Two nights later.

Just when Zhu Zhanji checked into a post station along the way according to the itinerary set in advance, he had just walked into the house and had not had time to sit down.

A herald from the capital hurriedly ran into Zhu Zhanji's room.

When he came to Zhu Zhanji's face, he immediately knelt on the ground, and said with a solemn face: "Your Royal Highness, the imperial court has an urgent report of six hundred miles, and the battle report from the front line of the army says ....."

Hearing this person's words, as well as the hesitant look, Zhu Zhanji's face also became solemn, he knew that something big must have happened.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the imperial court to send a letter in an urgent manner for six hundred miles not long after he left.

"What the hell is going on, tell me quickly!"

Hearing Zhu Zhanji's scolding, the herald didn't dare to talk nonsense, and while handing over the letter in his hand, he also bowed to the ground and said: "The emperor led the army on the way back, but due to weakness and cold, he died!" ”

Zhu Zhanji, who hadn't had time to open the letter, instantly widened his eyes when he heard this person's words, and he was stunned in place.

Then he opened the letter in his hand in disbelief.

When he saw the content stamped by the imperial court jade seal, Zhu Zhanji finally believed this person's words.

The whole person froze in place, and for a moment it felt like the world was spinning.

Looking at Zhu Zhanji's appearance, the herald hurriedly looked at His Royal Highness Taisun in front of him, and said worriedly: "Your Royal Highness, you must take care of your health!" ”

"In addition, the prince said that he wants you to return to the capital immediately, and you must not stay for a moment!"

Hearing the words of this herald, Zhu Zhanji also gradually relieved himself from the news of the old man's death.

He really didn't expect that when he left the army, he had already met the old man for the last time in his life.

But he couldn't figure out why.

In history, it is clearly recorded that the old man died because of external injuries.

Even if the historical record is not true, everything he did did did not change the occurrence of the old man's death, but it should be half a year later!

How could it be at this time!

No matter what he thought, he couldn't figure out why.

But the matter has come to this, and now that the reality has been placed in front of him, what else can he say?

What can he do?!

Come to think of it.

Zhu Zhanji gritted his teeth and said to the herald in front of him: "Go and prepare the carriage, let's go back." ”

"Yes!"

Zhu Zhanji is very clear.

Now that the old man has died, the entire Ming Dynasty will be shaken by the government and the opposition, and the people will be panicked.

In the future, when the Ming Dynasty is going to go down, he, the grandson, naturally wants to sit in the capital with his father Zhu Gaochi, the prince.

All the way.

Zhu Zhanji's whole person was a little confused.

He knew that he should be calm at this time, but in the face of this sudden change, he really couldn't calm down.

That's his grandfather!

The grandfather who accommodated, tolerate, spoiled, and pampered him everywhere.

But now, before they were about to meet, the two were separated by yin and yang.

I didn't even see the last one.

After a whole night and a day of travel, the group was sleepy and tired, and had no choice but to go down, but they still stayed at a post station along the way.

Zhu Zhanji lay on the bed in the post station, looking at the ceiling above his head.

Even if a day and a night have passed since this incident, the whole person is still immersed in pain.

Until the next day, another day's journey.

They finally came to the capital of Shuntian Mansion.

After coming to the city gate, Zhu Zhanji was surprised to find that the city defense of the entire capital seemed to have increased a lot, and the deployment of troops on the tower of the city gate was two or three times more than usual.

Even when Zhu Zhanji handed over his grandson's identity token to the person guarding the city, he didn't let him pass at the first time.

It wasn't until a moment later that Guo Ji, who was qualified for the Yin of the Shuntian Mansion, came to the city gate in person, and their group entered the city smoothly.

Although it was late at night, according to the usual rules, as long as he saw his grandson's token, no one dared to stop him.

After walking into the city.

Zhu Zhanji's face was also a little ugly, and he asked Guo Ji beside him, "Can't even my token be released directly now?" ”

Listening to Zhu Zhanji's question, Guo Ji looked around, hurriedly came to Zhu Zhanji's side, and explained in a low voice: "His Royal Highness's token is naturally free to pass, this is Wei Chen's own courageous order, no matter anyone's token or password, no one is allowed to enter or leave the capital." ”

Zhu Zhanji's eyes narrowed: "Why?" ”

Hearing this, Guo Ji's face was full of embarrassment, and it seemed that there was something difficult to say, but he still said: "Your Highness, there are some things that are difficult to say, so please go and see for yourself, Your Highness." ”

Looking at Guo Ji's face, Zhu Zhanji didn't ask much, and directly followed Guo Ji and returned to the prince's mansion together.

At this time, the prince's mansion was also heavily guarded.

The usual palace maids and eunuchs also disappeared, and were replaced by a soldier in armor.

At the same time, in the lobby of the prince's mansion, the cabinet of the imperial court and the books of the six ministries are all here, and there are many of them.

Zhu Zhanji was not too surprised by this, but it wasn't until Zhu Zhanji walked in and saw the coffin in a room behind the lobby, as well as the old lady who was sitting on the ground with blank eyes and Hu Shanxiang and the third Zhu Zhanyong on the side.

Zhu Zhanji stood in place and did not come back to his senses for a long time.

A guess that he couldn't accept at all came to mind.

"Mother."

As Zhu Zhanji's voice sounded, the crown princess, who was sitting beside the coffin with an expressionless face, slowly raised her head.

The moment he saw Zhu Zhanji, tears instantly appeared in his eyes.

"Son!"

Looking at the appearance of his mother, Zhu Zhanji endured the emotions in his heart, slowly came to the old lady's side, hugged him tightly, said nothing, and said: "Mother, you go back to the back and lie down for a while, let Shanxiang accompany you, and leave it to your son to deal with it here." ”

Hearing her son's words, the crown princess, who was originally blind, also seemed to have found the backbone.

Nodding slightly, with Hu Shanxiang's support, they walked towards the backyard together.

After watching his wife and Hu Shanxiang leave, Zhu Zhanji asked Zhu Zhanyong, the third child next to him, "What's going on." ”

Listening to his eldest brother's question, the third Zhu Zhanyong's face was also full of pain and said: "I don't know what's going on, but two days ago, suddenly there was news from the house, saying that my father was no good, so I hurried over." By the time I got back, my dad was gone. ”

Although Zhu Zhanji is also very sad in his heart, he has no choice, he is the boss of this family, and he knows very well that the family and even the entire court are listening to him, His Royal Highness.

"What about the Imperial Doctor? Haven't anyone from the hospital come to see it? Didn't they say what Dad died for? ”

The third child, Zhu Zhanyong, replied: "I asked, but the hospital said that it was a blocked heart artery, and as for the specific reason, the person is no longer there, so I can't ask at all." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji also thought about it in his heart.

Blockage of the heart arteries.....

Is this because of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases?

If this is the case, it will be exactly the same as in history, and it will be a sudden death in a short period of time.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanji also sighed melancholy.

There are some things, even if he is a traverser, it seems that he is powerless to change anything.

Just when Zhu Zhanji's mood was a little low, Yang Shiqi, the secretary of the military department who was standing outside, also walked in slowly, and when he came to Zhu Zhanji's side, he immediately bowed and saluted: "Your Royal Highness, please mourn." ”

The successive deaths of his grandfather and father hit Zhu Zhanji hard.

But even if his heart is like a needle prick now, he must carry it all.

If he also hid and hid to the side to mourn, then who should face all this?

My own wife?

Hu Shanxiang?

Or is it the third and fifth?

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanji raised his hand and said, "Okay, let's go out and talk." ”

When he saw that His Royal Highness Taisun was quite calm, Yang Shiqi's heart was also relieved.

Now is a critical time, the future of the entire Ming Dynasty has fallen on the shoulders of His Royal Highness Taisun, if His Royal Highness Taisun misses a major event because of some emotional ups and downs at this time, it will not be good.

Although they can also understand the current situation of His Royal Highness Taisun.

But there is no way, this is what you have to face as a descendant of the royal family.

Accompanied Zhu Zhanji to the lobby, everyone who was walking around anxiously in the lobby also rushed over and saluted Zhu Zhanji.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Zhanji also raised his hand casually and said: "Okay, don't do this, let me ask you, where is the emperor's army now?" How long will it take to come back? ”

Hearing this, Yang Shiqi, who was the secretary of the military department, hurriedly said: "If you go back to His Royal Highness Taisun, according to the time set by the imperial court for the army before, the emperor's army should arrive in the capital in three days." But ......"

Zhu Zhanji frowned: "But what?" None of this is an outsider, to put it bluntly. ”

Seeing this, Yang Shiqi looked left and right at everyone present, and then said bluntly: "These words should not be said by an outsider, but the grandson is the grandson canonized by the emperor himself, and he is the prince of the Ming Dynasty. Although the bones of the emperor and the crown prince are not cold, these words should not have been said at this time, but this is a state matter, so Weichen dared to admonish. ”

"Now the emperor's army is a full 500,000 troops, which is all the elite of my Ming Dynasty, and now the death of the emperor in that army is presided over by the king of Han and the king of Zhao. Before the crown prince's death, the king of Han and the king of Zhao had the heart to compete for the prince, and now that the emperor and the prince have both passed away, the king of Han and the king of Zhao have a full 500,000 troops in their hands......"

"Will they be willing to return to the capital? Will he return to the capital according to the arrangement of the Imperial Military Department? Even if he comes back, is it for the funeral of the emperor and the crown prince, or is it like the battle of Jingjing back then? ”

Speaking of which, Yang Shiqi can be regarded as disrespectful.

The moment he finished speaking, he bowed down and stood in front of Zhu Zhanji.

And after hearing what Yang Shiqi said, everyone on the side also echoed with a sad face.

Obviously, according to the current situation, King Zhao of Han controls all the elites of the Ming Dynasty, and once there is a dissent, the entire world of the Ming Dynasty will be overturned in an instant.

The original Battle of Jingjing will also reappear.

As princelings, or grandsons, there is no difference between them now.

Even Xia Yuanji, the head of the household department who was only loyal to the emperor, knew very well that the emperor had said more than once when he was alive that he would make Taisun the emperor.

Therefore, it was natural that he also fell to the grandson Zhu Zhanji.

Coupled with what Taisun has done in the past two years, they all trust that Taisun will be a wiser monarch than King Han and King Zhao after succeeding to the throne.

Therefore, they all fell to the grandson Zhu Zhanji.

And now, naturally, he is also from the perspective of the grandson, and he is considering Zhu Zhanji.

In the face of everyone's words and Yang Shiqi's advice, Zhu Zhanji did not blame anything.

He knew very well that these people were right.

According to history, in such a situation, his second and third uncles will definitely rebel, and there will be no hesitation.

Even now, the relationship between him and the second and third uncles has eased, and even if it is very good, he does not dare to guarantee that his second uncle and third uncle will not take care of these things in this situation.

In their hands, there is the elite of the whole country.

Once they make a move, the entire Ming Dynasty will not be able to show any strength to fight against them.

Even if it is according to what he and the second uncle said at the beginning, they can save each other's lives, but who knows if the second uncle will still admit it, even if he does, will he change his mind in a long time.

and him, Zhu Zhanji himself.

Is that kind of captivity really acceptable to him?

Are you willing to watch the Ming Dynasty fall into the control of the second uncle after having such a good start?

Zhu Zhanji didn't know, he didn't think about these things himself.

But he knew better that he had to do something before it happened.

Immediately, after Zhu Zhanji signaled Yang Shiqi to get up, he didn't have too much hypocrisy, and said bluntly: "According to your intentions, what should I do next." ”

Hearing Zhu Zhanji's words, everyone present was sure in their hearts.

They understood that although His Royal Highness Taisun in front of them did not say anything substantial, they all knew very well that Taisun's words had already recognized the possibility they were talking about, and recognized the current situation.

Seeing that His Royal Highness Taisun was able to make a decision in such a short period of time, everyone also recognized the future king unusually.

As the ruler, if you don't be the backbone of everyone at such a time, but cry or feel too sad, you still need to be persuaded by others.....

But from this point on, it is not what a worthy king should do.

And after having the approval of His Royal Highness Taisun, everyone present was much more relaxed when they spoke again.

It was still Yang Shiqi, even under the gaze of everyone, he said: "According to the current situation, if the King of Han and the King of Zhao are really determined to rebel, or even come to the city, with the current strength in the city, it is impossible to stop it, although relying on the solidity of the city, it is not a problem to hold on for a few months, but the food in the city is limited, and it cannot be held for a long time." ”

Therefore, Weichen meant that when the army passed through Shanhaiguan, in the name of the crown prince's supervision of the country, the king of Han and the king of Zhao were strictly ordered to station the army outside the pass, and only the king of Han and the king of Zhao could bring less than 100 guards to enter the pass. Now that the news of the prince's suffering has not yet spread, the entire capital is only allowed to enter but not leave, and the news should not have spread yet. ”

"In this case, with the name of the crown prince, the city defense and generals all over the country will listen to the dispatch of the imperial court."

"Although there are not too many garrisons in Shanhaiguan, it is not impossible to resist the attack of 500,000 troops by relying on the geographical advantages of the pass. At the same time, we dispatched Shandong garrisons to Shanhaiguan for reinforcements, and although the 500,000 troops outside the customs were numerous, after this year's expedition, the supplies and grain and grass depended on the supply of the customs. ”

"As long as you can resist half a month, the minister dares to predict that the army outside the border will be in turmoil due to the shortage of food and grass, and at that time, His Royal Highness Taisun will persuade him with reason, and secretly contact the British Duke in the army, Chen Mao and other important ministers trusted by the emperor, I believe that they will make a choice for the sake of the overall situation."

"At that point, we'll be able to figure it out. In short, it is a sentence, the army must be left outside the pass, once they enter the pass, under the iron hooves of the 500,000 army, the court will never be able to resist! ”

Listening to Yang Shiqi's words and the expressions of the officials around him, Zhu Zhanji knew that they must have thought of this method before they came back.

Since they have all discussed it and think that it is the best way now, Zhu Zhanji naturally will not have any opinions.

However, he still said: "The way is to do as you say, but now the emperor's army should have almost reached Shanhaiguan by now, right?" At this time, if I send a message again, I'm afraid it's too late, and there are still 100,000 reserve soldiers in Shandong, and it is estimated that they won't be able to catch up now, right? ”

In the face of Zhu Zhanji's questioning, everyone present looked a little unnatural.

It wasn't until Yang Shiqi saw that he couldn't hide the matter, so he said: "The prince died suddenly, for the sake of the overall situation of the court and the Ming Dynasty, we can only keep the mourning secret, and at the same time make these arrangements in advance." At this time, the order from the imperial court should have arrived at Shanhaiguan. ”

"Without the words of the crown prince and grandson, the entire Great Wall defense line has its own passes, and horses are not allowed to enter the pass."

"This incident happened suddenly, and I hope Your Highness will forgive you."

Looking at the officials who were all kneeling down in front of him, although he was a little unhappy that these officials dared to give such an order on behalf of him and his father, Zhu Zhanji also understood that they were also forced to do so.

If you don't do this, even if you wait until I comes back, it's too late.

However, in order to prevent them from becoming addicted to doing this, Zhu Zhanji still said with a calm face: "This time the incident happened suddenly, I will forgive you this time for the time being, but after going back for a while, I still asked my family to prepare a coffin, if there is a next time, you don't have to see me, you can mourn directly." ”

"In addition, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, and after this matter is over, each of them will go and get fifty big boards!"

Hearing this, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief again.

They all shouted: "His Royal Highness Taisun Xie! ”

Just when a group of them discussed the next major matters in this hall, Zhu Zhanji was also ready to write a letter to his second and third uncles in person.

A herald suddenly came to Zhu Zhanji's face under the leadership of a forbidden soldier beside him.

The moment the herald saw Zhu Zhanji, he directly took out a fold from his arms, and then presented it to Zhu Zhanji, and said with a solemn expression: "His Royal Highness, this is the emperor's posthumous order sent by his subordinates before his death!" ”

"In addition, there is a letter written by the emperor himself."

After hearing the soldier's words, Zhu Zhanji's expression also changed, he thought that Zhu Zhanji, who would never be able to have any contact with his grandfather in his life, did not expect the old man to write such letters and edicts before his death.

After receiving these two folds, Zhu Zhanji opened them for the first time and checked them.

The content of the first edict is very simple, in addition to those cumbersome words, there is only one content expressed, that is, to appoint him Zhu Zhanji, the grandson of the Ming Dynasty, as the successor.

The crown prince is the emperor.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhanji's heart became heavier and heavier.

When the old man wrote this edict, I am afraid that he did not expect that his son was no longer alive.

When he opened another letter, it was written what some old men said to him Zhu Zhanji and their entrustment.

If you want to govern the Ming Dynasty well, you can't take action against your own family anymore.

At the same time, he also informed Zhu Zhanji of some information in the army outside the Guan.

British Gong Zhang Fu and General Chen Mao, the Shenji Battalion led by him, and almost half of the troops of the Fifth Army Battalion are all right

Obey him at any time, Zhu Zhanji's dispatch.
