Chapter 274: It is difficult for a clean official to cut off family affairs

This is the first time Zhu Zhan Yan has seen the completed Shuntian Imperial Palace.

Entering from the Daming Gate, all the way to the Chengtian Gate, after passing the end gate, Zhu Zhanyan suddenly stopped.

Because of the suddenness of the stop, there was no gap between the attendants leading the way in front, and it was not until he reached the right gate of the temple that he found that Zhu Zhanyan had already stopped.

I almost wanted to open my mouth, but in the end I chose to swallow the words back into my stomach.

Under the end door, Zhu Zhanyan stood straight, looking at the Taimiao on the right, a little abrupt.

I don't know how long I stood there, but after all, the waiter couldn't help it.

It's nothing for Zhu Zhan to stop here, but the inner servant can't.

"His Royal Highness ...... the Prince"

Looking at Zhu Ling and Zhu Ping behind Zhu Zhanyan, the waiter cautiously spoke.

"Let's go......" Zhu Zhanyan suddenly came back to his senses.

All the way forward, passing through the right gate of the noon gate, which only princes and nobles can walk, and turning to the right to meet the pole gate, Zhu Zhanyan saw a group of people.

Huiji Gate, leading directly to the East Palace, and after passing through Huiji Gate, the right side is the cabinet, and the left side is the ......

Mandarin Palace.

Zhu Gaochi took his son Zhu Zhanji and stood at the gate of Wenhua Palace, quietly looking at Zhu Zhanji who came in from the Jimen Gate.

The corners of Zhu Zhan's mouth rose, bowed slightly, and then followed the chamberlain to the harem.

The old man is not dead yet, and he doesn't need to see Zhu Gaochi first.

From the East Palace, through the three halls of Jianji, Zhongji, and Huangji, Zhu Zhan finally arrived at the Qianqing Palace.

Walking through the Danqi, climbing up the steps from the right side of the Danqi, looking at the Qianqing Palace in front of him, which was similar to the Ying Tianhuang Palace, Zhu Zhanqi sighed lightly and walked in.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

As soon as he entered the hall, the first thing Zhu Zhan Yan heard was a violent cough, and then there was an extremely unpleasant smell of medicine.

The chamberlain who took Zhu Zhanyan all the way trotted past the screen, and judging from the shadowy shadow, he was reporting something, and as for what was said inside, Zhu Zhanyan couldn't hear it clearly.

After a while, a figure rose behind the screen, crossed the screen, and appeared in front of Zhu Zhanyan.

"Daddy." Zhu Zhanyan lowered his head.

"Alas......" Zhu Gaoxu sighed lightly, stepped forward and patted his son's shoulder.

"Now that you're here, don't think about that......"

Feeling very uncomfortable, Zhu Gaoxu shook his head slightly, turned around and walked behind the screen with his son.

However, Zhu Zhanyan only took two steps before he paused.

Previously, Zhu Zhanyan never believed in any overnight whitehead, but now, after seeing his father, Zhu Zhanyan felt very uncomfortable.

Before leaving for the Timurid Empire, Zhu Zhanyan went home, and only a year ago, his father still had black hair, only occasionally with a hint of white.

And now, the black hair has long since become black and white, and anyone can tell the situation of its owner in the messy hair.

After being stunned for a while, Zhu Zhanyan lowered his head, raised his steps and turned the screen, and finally got a glimpse of the scene behind the screen.

The old man sat on the couch, not asleep, but with a not very normal flush on his face.

"Zhan Gully is here?" Seeing Zhu Zhanyan, the old man's face suddenly brightened, and a smile bloomed.

Zhu Zhanyan lowered his head, lifted the hem of his clothes, and knelt on the ground.

"Sun Chen Zhu Zhanyan, meet the imperial grandfather, the imperial grandfather bows to Jin'an."

"I ......" Zhu Di's face was full of joy, but as soon as the word "I spoke", a little unnatural appeared on his face.

"Ann...... Quiet...... Doan ......"

"Grandpa Xie Huang." Only then did Zhu Zhanyan get up.

After hesitating for a while, Zhu Zhanyan sighed lightly and took two steps forward.

It was only two steps, and the old man's eyes lit up, and the unnaturalness on his face disappeared in an instant.

"Come on...... Come...... Sit. Zhu Di moved his body very hard to make room for Zhu Zhanyan.

Since he chose to compromise, Zhu Zhanyan did not hesitate anymore, and in his father's pleased gaze, Zhu Zhanyan sat next to Zhu Di.

"Zhan Yan, I heard that you are on the expedition again? Where did it go? ”

"Back to grandpa, my grandson's expedition lasted more than a year and a half, but fortunately, there is still a harvest, and half of the Timurid Empire in the west of our Ming Dynasty has been taken by Sun Er."

"You should know, I remember one year, what year did it come from? It seems that it is the fifteenth year of Yongle, and their prince has also paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty. ”

"The Timurid Empire? You're talking about Shaharu, right? Zhu Di frowned when he heard this, but soon laughed.

"Good! Good! Wow......"

"Before, my grandfather heard those merchants say that they had to go from the Shu Body Poison Road, pass through the Delhi Sultan, and cross the mountains and deserts to reach the Timurid Empire."

"Zhan Yan, you have taken the Timurid Empire this time, and the Ming West is safe......"

Looking at the west, Zhu Di's face was flushed with yearning.

Zhu Zhanyan lowered his head and didn't say anything.

In fact, Zhu Zhanyan did not want to move Shahru at first, and if it was possible, he would start with the Ottoman Empire first.

First of all, in the history of West Asia and Central Asia, the Ottoman Empire eventually swept away strong enemies including but not limited to the Timurid Empire and the Byzantine Empire, becoming the most powerful country on earth in the 15th and 16th centuries.

Not one of them.

Secondly, the Timurid Empire was divided into two factions, while the Ottoman Empire was relatively stable, at least with the same voice.

In this case, it is better to let the enemy turn against the enemy or let them fight against the nest, and focus on those who have the same goal and are determined.

In the end, the destruction of Shaharu seems to be the credit of Zhu Zhan Gully, and the Timurid Empire will also become the place dominated by Zhu Zhan Gully, but in fact it is not the case.

The biggest beneficiary is still the imperial court.

If you go a little deeper, the direct beneficiary is the prince's lineage.

Why is Jianzhou Sanwei so difficult to deal with? And it can be said that Da Ming in his heyday has been entangled for five years?

The Xiaoice period caused Nuer Gandusi to suffer bitter cold, and the time conducive to fighting was greatly shortened, but the most important reason was that the Wara and Eastern Chagatai Khanate continued to support the Jianzhou Sanwei behind it.

Among them, the assassination of his younger brother Nahei and his ascension to the throne of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate are the most important factors.

Warat is incapable of confronting the Ming Dynasty, and the reason why the imperial court still keeps Warat is just because it is waiting for a suitable opportunity, because the court cannot do anything to Warat, who has already called itself a vassal.

And now, Zhu Zhan Yan has taken the Timurid Empire, and it is also the eastern part of the Timurid Empire dominated by Shahru, which has a great impact on the situation in the Central Plains.

One of the most obvious evidences is that after the Timurid Empire suffered a harvest and Zhu Zhan led his troops to the expedition, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate recalled all the people who were outside, including the "merchants" who went to Warat and Nuergandusi, to return to the royal capital.

The reason is very simple, Crooked Si is afraid that Zhu Zhan Yan and the imperial court should cooperate with the outside world, and attack from both sides, one side will send troops from the Kansai Seven Guards and suppress from the east side, and the other side will enter from the ancient Silk Road with three mountains and two basins, and suppress from the west side.

At that time, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate can be said to be powerless.

Only by returning to the defense and completely preventing Zhu Zhan from entering the ancient Silk Road, can the Eastern Chagatai Khanate retain the remnants.

"Zhan Gully ......"

After being silent for a long time, Zhu Di seemed to have guessed what his grandson was thinking, and said slowly.

"What if...... Grandpa said what if, if someday......"

"Yes."

Without waiting for the old man to finish speaking, Zhu Zhanyan gave the answer.

Not afraid of misunderstanding the old man's meaning, nor afraid of the so-called excesses that the old man put forward, Zhu Zhanyan did not hesitate.

Zhu Di looked at his grandson in a daze, and the corners of his eyes shone with a little light.

"Alas......" Zhu Di turned his head, as if he didn't want others to see this scene.

"Someone ...... coming"

——

Standing outside the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Zhanyan looked up at the huge hall of the Qianqing Palace, and then looked down at the two volumes of holy decrees in his hand.

For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Turning his head to look in the direction of the Jianji Palace, Zhu Zhanyan took the two volumes of holy decrees into his arms, turned around and walked towards the person under the back door of the Jianji Palace.

……

Qingning Palace.

As the east palace of the Shuntian Emperor's palace, Qingning Palace is larger than the Chunhe Palace in Yingtianfu, and the building complex is also a little more.

The Chunhe Palace in Yingtianfu is only the residence of the prince, and the office part is undertaken by the Wenhua Palace, but Qingning Palace is different.

Although there is also a Wenhua Hall in the south of Qingning Palace, there are also the existence of the Imperial Workshop, the Cabinet, and the Imperial Palace.

In addition, on both sides of the Qingning Palace, there are a large number of buildings, which were reserved for the six books of Shangshu from the original idea of its establishment.

For example, the old man drove the imperial expedition in person, the prince supervised the administration of the country, and the six Shangshu would be stationed there, plus the cabinet and the imperial palace in the south, etc., the East Palace was like a miniature version of the imperial court.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhanyan didn't say anything, just lowered his head, followed behind his cousin, and entered Qingning Palace.

"Zhan Yan has seen the uncle." As soon as he entered the door, Zhu Zhanyan bowed and saluted.

"It's all my own family, so I'm exempt." Zhu Gaochi waved his hand, dragged his round body, and helped Zhu Zhanchi up with some effort.

"Have you seen your grandfather?"

"Well, I did." Zhu Zhanyan nodded.

"It's good to have seen it, and it's also a wish of your grandfather......" Zhu Gaochi personally poured a cup of tea for Zhu Zhanyan and sighed lightly.

"Zhan Yan, you attacked the Timurid Empire this time, disrupted the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, and made a great contribution to the imperial court's suppression of the rebellion in Jianzhou, but it was just ......"

Speaking of this, Zhu Gaochi stopped suddenly.

He, I don't know what to say.

Nowadays, in the Ming Dynasty where the ram is the study of the country, the anger of the literati is becoming more and more serious, except for Yang Rong, Yang Pu, Yang Shiqi and other old ministers, the literati who have come up in the past two years are more radical than the other.

How radical is it? Even Zhu Gaochi regretted the implementation of the ram study.

Originally, in the eyes of the people in the imperial court, there was nothing difficult about the battle of Jianzhou, especially when ram science was prevalent and the generals received strong support, pushing a Jianzhou should be as simple as chopping melons and vegetables.

Zhu Zhanyan and Zhuyu are in front, even if their ability is not as good as Zhu Zhanyan's and their hearts are not as ruthless as Zhu Zhan's, but it is not difficult to learn from them, right?

But in fact, the generals who learned from each other did not achieve the original effect of Zhu Zhanyan.

Because if you want to be ruthless, the Jurchens are not bad, their ruthlessness is even worse than the ruthlessness of these generals, because they can ignore human nature.

In the end, the well-behaved generals finally asked Zhang Fu to decide, and Zhang Fu set the rules of the ploughing court according to Zhu Zhan's practice in the grassland, Annan and the Wa Kingdom.

In the end, Zhang Fu was also fined for three years and grounded for one year because of this decision...... It's a joy for all.

"Uncle don't worry." Seeing that his eldest uncle paused, Zhu Zhanyan slowly spoke, and at the same time reached into his arms.

However, Zhu Zhanyan's movements paused at this time, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.

"This, uncle, you can take it." Zhu Zhanyan took his hand out of his arms and took out the two holy decrees.

Zhu Zhanyan's ears moved, and after hearing the almost indiscrete voice, he smiled with satisfaction.
