After Zhu Gaoxu ascended the throne, he learned from Zhu Di, eliminated Zhu Di's Yongle era name, and changed it to the ninth year of Jianwen.

From next year (1408), the new era name Hongxi will be used.

Zhu Gaoxu became the new master of the Ming Dynasty, and the rebel army also became an official army.

Zhu Gaoxu's first will after ascending the throne was to demote his concubine Zhu Di to a concubine, kick out the members of the Ming imperial family, call his subordinates rebels, and call on the rebels all over the world to surrender.

At this time, the personnel in the palace were not going well, and the crown prince Zhu Gaochi took away some of the eunuchs and palace maids after retreating north, and among the people left, Zhu Gaochu did not dare to reuse them.

He temporarily stayed in Wuying Hall and waited for his family members from Yunnan to come over.

At the beginning of October, the temperature dropped slightly, and in the Wuying Hall of Nuoda, Zhu Gaoxu was holding a brush and staring blankly at the table.

If someone approaches at this time, they can see Zhu Gaoxu writing lines and lines on it.

"Tax reform."

"Political reform."

"Disarmament."

"Water conservancy."

"Colonization."

"Northern Yuan."

"Honorable."

"Clan."

"Tech Tree."

"Education."

Zhu Gaoxu wrote a long column in a mess, he saw the end from the beginning, and then saw the head from the end, and couldn't help covering his head, feeling a faint headache.

It was really cool when I first sat on the emperor's throne the day before yesterday, but when I sat down, I found that it was not easy to dry.

In my previous life, I always wanted to travel back and become an emperor, but now that I have really become an emperor, I find that there are too many facts about what I want to do.

So much so that he didn't know where to start or how to start.

"Horn" Zhu Gaoxu threw the brush on the table with a little irritability, and then sat back in his position, thinking, it's better to mess up, wait for Zhu Di to be solved, let it be natural in the future, rest assured, be a faint gentleman, hug the beauty all day long, wouldn't you be happy?

I can't do it, there is a voice in my head reminding him that this is not the Ming he wants, and this is not the China he wants.

"In any case, this emperor can't be worse than Zhu Di." Zhu Gaoxu thought silently.

"Your Majesty." Just then, a voice came from outside.

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and found that it was Zhong Xian.

Zhu Gaoxu entered Beijing in a hurry, and there were not many old people in the Han Palace, only the eunuch Zhong Xian followed.

Zhong Xian had already sent someone to Guilin to summon Ma Ling.

Ma Ling is the daughter of Ma Lin, the political envoy of Guangxi, and after Zhu Gaoxu captured Guilin, Ma Lin offered his daughter in the middle of the night to curry favor with Zhu Gaoxu.

Now that Zhu Gaoxu has just arrived in the imperial city and is not looking for anyone else to sleep, Zhong Xian feels that the emperor still needs a companion for the time being.

"Come in Zhong Xian." Zhu Gaoxu folded up what was written on the table.

After Zhong Xian came in, he immediately said, "Your Majesty, the slave has found two acquaintances." ”

"Who?" Zhu Gaoxu said strangely.

Zhong Xian smiled and beckoned into the distance.

After a while, a man and a woman came in from outside.

"Lost huh?" Zhu Gaoxu laughed.

"Slaves and maids greet Your Majesty." Yisha was very excited, probably didn't expect the emperor to remember his name: "I didn't expect Your Majesty to remember the cheap name of the slave." ”

"Hurry up, you have also made a great contribution to me, how can I forget."

Zhu Gaoxu happily walked over and personally helped him up.

This flattered Yishaha a little.

There was a palace maid on the side, who was also very good, and was looking at Zhu Gaoxu curiously.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Gaoxu turned to look at her, brushed, and her face suddenly turned red: "Knock to see Your Majesty." ”

"Chen Yan, you used to call me Uncle I, hahaha, you've grown so big." Of course Zhu Gaoxu knows, this is Chen Wen's daughter, Chen Yan, who was sent into the palace to be an internal response, under the pseudonym Duan Lanxin.

It was precisely because of Chen Yan's help to Yishiha that Yishaha was moved, and he turned to Zhu Gaoxu, and the two also married Jinlan and became brother and sister, and the relationship was quite good.

In the war against the enemy, he often delivered news from the palace to Zhu Gaoxu, and made contributions to the rescue of the families of the generals who had taken refuge in the King of Han.

Chen Yan's face turned even redder when Zhu Gaoxu said this: "Your Majesty." The tone was shy.

When she first met Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaochu was only a teenager, she was only twelve or thirteen years old, and in a blink of an eye, she was eighteen years old.

In the Ming Dynasty, this is a proper old leftover girl.

Only then did Zhu Gaochu know that when Zhu Gaochi retreated north, a group was taken away from the palace and a group was left, Zhu Di's Concubine Li didn't want to leave, but all the concubines were going to be taken away, so there was no way.

Concubine Li thought about it, but she was also left behind, and Chen Yan was also left behind.

"Concubine Li was afraid that Zhu Di would be defeated in the end, so the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry and killed people indiscriminately, so Niangniang asked the slave and maid to stay." It is also lost.

"I owe it to Concubine Li." Zhu Gaoxu sighed.

Yisha and Chen Yan suddenly arrived, and Zhu Gaoxu had more people available in the palace in an instant.

The two have been in the palace for many years, and they know a lot of people well, so they can probably know who can use it and who can't.

Of course, basically Zhu Di's henchmen have been taken away.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Chen Yan at this time, thinking that Chen Yan had made a contribution to herself, and now that she is old, she should find a good home: "Yan'er, you and Yishiha have made great contributions, talk to the emperor's uncle, is there anyone you like?" ”

"If not, Uncle Emperor will help you find a rebel noble, and he must not wronged you."

Chen Yan's face turned even redder, she quietly looked up at Yi Shiha, Yi Yanhe nodded to her with a smile, and motioned for her to say boldly.

Chen Yan thought about it shyly, but still shook her head: "Slaves and maids don't have a favorite person, and for the time being, they don't want to marry -—— person." ”

After that, he raised his head, opened his eyes wide, and looked at Zhu Gaoxu.

“。。” Zhu Gaoxu.

I'm your uncle.

Zhu Gaoxu looked a little embarrassed, but he didn't immediately say anything, Chen Wen was his confidant, and he also made great contributions to him, and now he is guarding Sichuan, providing him with a steady stream of grain, grass and some war horses.

As long as Chen Wen is willing to do this, the problem is not very big.

He turned his head to look at Zhong Xian: "How many other female officials are there in the palace?" ”

Zhong Xian said: "Most of the female officials have gone to Beiping. ”

The palace maids in the Daming Palace have six bureaus and one division, and the heads of each ministry have official names and official ranks, which are called female officials.

"Chen Yan, you temporarily take over the palace as the chief of the palace, and follow me with Zhong Xian and Yishaha."

The palace is the department to supervise the discipline of the palace maids, which is equivalent to the existence of the discipline inspection department, and the power is not small.

Chen Yan squatted down with both hands and bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Gaoxu felt that she was not very happy, and he was more sure of what she wanted.

Thinking about it, she was only twelve or thirteen years old at the time, an innocent and lovely little lady, who was sent by her father Chen Wen to the prince's side as an undercover agent, and experienced two battles of martyrdom and rebellion.

There are a lot of yamen in the imperial city in the Ming court, with a total of 24 yamen, which are divided into 12 eunuchs (eunuch yamen), 4 divisions, and 8 bureaus, collectively known as the 24 yamen of the inner palace.

Zhu Gaoxu asked Zhong Xian and Yishiha to take charge of half of each, and for the time being, they took charge of it first, adjusted the personnel, and waited for the people from the Han Wangfu in Yunnan to arrive.

Chen Yan often stayed in the Wuying Hall and waited for the emperor.

Not long after Yishiha left, Chen Yan brought a few palace maids in to clean up the room.

Zhu Gaoxu's eyes lit up at that time, several palace maids didn't look very old, and they were all more beautiful than the other, and Chen Yan was also good-looking, but compared with these palace maids, it was a little less interesting.

But Zhu Gaoxu didn't look at it much, if he thought about it, Chen Yan could be an undercover agent at the age of twelve or thirteen, and her mind was much stronger than that of ordinary little girls.

In the past few years, in the Prince's Mansion, in the Yanwang Mansion, and in the palace, they have been safe and sound, and they have retreated with their whole bodies, but they are not idle people.

The princess Sun Ruonan's kind of second goods, the side concubines Wei Mo'er, Jing Shu, and Huang Ying's three stupid white sweets, in terms of scheming, are definitely far from her opponents.

Only the little aunt Xu Miaojin can fight with her.

Well, now my little aunt is no longer my little aunt, presumably she is also very happy now.

I don't know why, at this moment, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly missed Miaojin very much.

Most women in the Ming Dynasty could only be used as vases, and only Miaojin could speak from his heart.

Zhu Gaoxu was still thinking about the gentle beauty, and Zhong Xian's voice came from outside.

Zheng Ci, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, handed over an excerpt.

Today is the third day of Zhu Gaoxu's ascension to the throne, and yesterday he went to the court, and he didn't discuss anything, mainly to discuss the transfer of troops and horses, the crusade against the Beiping rebels, and other state affairs, all of which were ranked behind.

Today, Zhu Gaoxu simply didn't go to court because of something, but Zheng Ci, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, handed over the fold.

Zhu Gaoxu asked Zhong Xian to take it over and take a look, it was really urgent, otherwise Zheng Ci would not have handed it over.

Zheng Ci was talking about an urgent report from Liu Mengduo, the director of the Ministry of Rites.

Liu Mengduo was a jinshi in the second year of Yongle, the director of the Ministry of Rites, and in the third year of Yongle, he went to Samarkand and saw the Northern Yuan Erjin Benyashi who fled to Samarkand.

Soon after, Timur died, and Benjamin moved from Samarkand to live in Mughulstan (Eastern Chagatai Khanate), and at the beginning of this year (1407), Benjamin returned to his Mongolian homeland from Mughulstan in an attempt to wrest the throne from the non-Yuan Guilichi.

Zhu Di had just experienced three major defeats in China at that time, and he had no time to take care of this matter, so he ordered the envoy Guo Ji to bring a book, and at the same time returned the 22 Khan court servants who were captured by the Ming army. Zhu Di said to Benjamin and Arutai, saying: "The people have pushed Erli to become the khan, and you want to send the south to make peace, I am very happy, I am born in China, and the khan is born in the desert, and they will always be at peace with each other, isn't it beautiful." ”

In the original history, Zhu Di's purpose in writing this letter was to paralyze Benjamin and Arutai, and the main purpose of sending Guo Ji to the Northern Yuan Dynasty was to interfere in the internal affairs of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and prevent Benjamin, a descendant of Kublai Khan, from returning to Mongolia to become the Khan, and to find an excuse to use troops against them in the future, showing his majesty as an emperor through the ages.

From this letter, it can be seen that Zhu Di was also extremely shameless in history, saying that he wanted to be at peace with Benjamin and Arutai forever, and on the other hand, he wanted to use troops against them to build 30,000 Wuhan Iron and Steel chariots.

Now the situation has changed, Zhu Gaoxu rebelled, Zhu Di did not want to be paralyzed, but to appease, and did not want to use troops on both sides.

The governor who went with Guo Ji commanded Jin Tabu and sent Guo Ji to the outside of the customs and returned.

As soon as I arrived in Shandong and Haizhou in Zhili, I heard the news that Zhu Gaoxu had entered Beijing.

Jintab was unable to make a decision and simply stayed in Haizhou.

He also escorted Liu Mengduo back then, so he quickly repaired the book and asked Liu Mengduo what to do? Should he go to Peking now, or should he come to Yingtian?

Liu Mengduo wrote that Jin Tabu was a former Mongolian general who was familiar with the regional customs of the grassland, and asked His Majesty to trust and reuse it.

When Zhu Gaoxu saw Zheng Ci's recital, he thought of something that happened later in history, so he replied: "I entered the capital and didn't kill a single person, how can I compare to the king of Ming?" ”

Not long after, Jin Tabu received a reply and immediately took his subordinates to Beijing to meet the new emperor.

Soon, Zhu Gaoxu's words, "I entered the Beijing Division, did not kill a single person", spread throughout the northern Ming Dynasty.
