Chapter 108: Establishing King Qi as the Crown Prince?
Zhu Gaoxian didn't stay in Jiming Temple, he now saw that Zhu Di was eager to reward the old emperor with two big buckets, where was he willing to continue to stay.
It's not good for this old boy to look for him every time!
After Zhu Gaoxian left, Zhu Di stroked his beard and looked at Yao Guangxiao: "What do you think of him?"
Yao Guangxiao didn't react for a while: "What's the matter?"
But in the next second, the black-clothed monk understood what Zhu Di meant, and asked in surprise, "You want to make him the crown prince?!"
It's amazing!
No matter who it is, they would not think that Zhu Di would make such a crazy move!
Even Yao Guangxiao is just guessing, not daring to judge.
Since Zhu Di established Zhu Gaochi as the crown prince in the second year of Yongle, countless people have said that the emperor will change the crown prince to the king of Han, but Zhu Chubby's position as the crown prince has always sat steadily.
Zhu Di's eyes were deep: "It's not as exaggerated as you said, I'm just guessing, if King Qi can sit in the position of the crown prince, or even inherit the throne in the future, what will happen to the direction of the Ming Dynasty?"
He was really thinking, if King Qi inherited the throne, would Da Ming still want to be so humiliated as in the simulation?
From Zhu Qizhen, the son of heaven, to Zhu Youxian, the Hongzhi Emperor who compromised with Wenchen, and then to Zhu Houzhao, the Zhengde Emperor who rebelled against Wenchen and ended up with a bleak ending......
Zhu Di was unwilling, he was unwilling to let himself single-handedly push the prosperous Ming Dynasty to such a stormy position.
But if you don't pass on the throne and the prince, who should you pass on?
King Han?
Come on, the line of King Han is on par with the line of the prince, the great-grandson of the prince is called the prince, and the king of Han is the emperor of prisoners, and he was rebelled by his own son, almost pushing the Ming Dynasty to the realm of no return.
Even if there was no King Qi in the Dynasty of Zhu Qizhen, the son of heaven, there was a great possibility that he would be rescued by Emperor Jingtai, but the ending would be more miserable. But the King of Han is different, if it weren't for King Qi to turn the tide, the Ming Dynasty would definitely die.
As for that Zhao Wangye...... If you don't mention it, King Zhao won't be successful!
From this point of view, it seems that the fourth King Qi is a very good choice.
Brave and good at fighting, excellent (doubtful), talented in saving the day, and most importantly...... Longevity.
In Zhu Di's simulation, the fourth of the four sons has a long life, and after nine dynasties and eight emperors, he can always stand up when the Ming Dynasty is in danger and help the building to fall!
But King Qi is not without its shortcomings.
The first is King Qi's ability to govern the country, Zhu Di knows that King Qi can fight, and he is very capable of fighting, he has the level of a top general when he is only in his twenties, and I am afraid that he will get older and more demonic in the future. But to be an emperor, you need to have more than just the ability to fight. Not only must you have the ability to fight the world, but more importantly, you must have the ability to rule the world.
The emperor may not be able to fight, but he must be able to govern.
When Zhu Di simulated the life of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, the reason why the Han King was defeated was not because he could not fight, on the contrary, the Han King won the war and won the battle, but the country was in chaos, which was the real reason for the defeat of the Han King.
And now Zhu Di has not found out that King Qi has the talent to govern the country, to be precise, King Qi has never had the opportunity to show his talent for governing the country. Zhu Di pushed King Qi to the position of supervising the country, not only to suppress the crown prince, but also because he wanted to see the true level of King Qi in governing the country, but he never thought that this kid would steal girls and play tricks, and leave all his errands to others to do, while he hid behind and was unwilling to make a move, which also made Zhu Di a little helpless.
In addition to the doubts about governing the country, the second is because King Qi is not the eldest son.
The four princes are all from Queen Xu, and they are all concubines.
However, although the son-in-law is important, the more important thing is the "eldest son".
The most important reason why Zhu Gaochi can sit firmly in the position of the prince is because of his identity as the "eldest son". And although King Qi is a son-in-law, he is only a son-in-law.
Zhu Di has not yet found a reason why he would rather not grow up and establish King Qi, King Qi's little cub is better than a monkey, which makes Zhu Di love and hate.
In addition to "governing the country
doubtful" and "standing long and not virtuous", Zhu Di is more worried about the heir.
The heirs of the prince's lineage are all wonderful, so are the heirs of King Qi's lineage saints?
When Zhu Di simulated the emperor of the prince's lineage, except for Zhu Gaoxian himself, the later kings of Qi never appeared, and he was extremely low-key, and learned the essence of the ancestors' clumsiness.
And this also makes Zhu Di unable to judge, if King Qi ascends the throne, will his descendants lead the Ming Dynasty to continue to prosper?
Maybe King Erqi became a saint after succeeding to the throne, but his heirs are not as good as the crown prince.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Di felt a little sore.
If he could simulate King Qi, he wouldn't have so many troubles.
But I can't simulate it!
The reason why it can't be simulated is that the intimacy between King Qi and Zhu Di is too low...... Isn't this a cheat!
"What is the emperor thinking?"
Yao Guangxiao poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and asked after seeing Zhu Di's fugue.
"I'm thinking, if I really let King Qi sit in the position of the crown prince...... Zhu Di said suspiciously, "Can we make the Ming Dynasty last forever and truly live forever?"
"Hahaha."
Yao Guangxiao laughed when he heard this, which made Zhu Di a little dissatisfied: "Old monk, what are you laughing at?"
"I laugh at you, you're getting old, but you're getting a lake." Yao Guangxiao smiled, "Wan Shi? I have lived for so many years, and I have never heard of the Dynasty of Eternity. Walk people, do your best, we are all human beings, not immortals, even if you are amazing, you can count to the first life, count to the second life, can you still count to the third life? Mr. Wolong has the ability to call for wind and rain, but he has spent his whole life and has not been able to change the fortunes of the Han family!"
Zhu Di's face was calm, and he didn't refute, thinking to himself, old monk, you are still too naïve.
I not only counted Zhu Qizhen, the third emperor, but also Zhu Houzhao, the sixth Zhengde Emperor, and now I am about to be the seventh emperor!
……
Zhu Gaoxian came out of Jiming Temple, but found that there was a person waiting in front of the door, and it turned out to be Lu Chaoyang.
"Why are you waiting here?" Zhu Gaoxian was a little puzzled.
Lu Chaoyang replied calmly: "The minister knows that the prince rarely brings a guard entourage when he travels, so he has the courage to change his clothes and wait here to protect the prince."
Zhu Gaoxian patted Lu Chaoyang on the shoulder, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
He never went out with a guard entourage, not because he was not afraid of death, but because he ...... In places that ordinary people can't see, there will always be a shadow waiter Ah Qi silently guarding.
Lu Chaoyang is so courteous, if it were someone else, Zhu Gaoxian would definitely feel that he was pretending.
can be replaced by Lu Chaoyang, but Zhu Gaoxian feels that it is normal.
Lu Chaoyang has an extremely paranoid personality, and he will admit one thing to death, since he has chosen to be loyal to Zhu Gaoxian, he has already handed over his life.
Even if Zhu Gaoxian now tells him: "Go, I don't like the emperor Lao Tzu, you go and cut the emperor, you remember to take all the charges off afterwards, don't stick to me."
Lu Chaoyang will also not hesitate to raise his knife to kill Jiming Temple, and if he wants to, he will cut Zhu Di.
It is precisely because of this that Zhu Gaoxian attaches so much importance to Lu Chaoyang, an outlaw.
This guy can handle it, he really has something to do!
Zhu Gaoxian calculated carefully and found that Lu Chaoyang was full of advantages: he was paranoid but also knew how to be sophisticated, seemed crazy but always remained calm, and was loyal......
"The emperor ordered you to be in charge of the Nanzhen Fu Division, it is estimated that the will will come down in two days, I will inform you in advance." Zhu Gaoxian said.
Lu Chaoyang's heart warmed, and then he arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Lord Wang!"
Zhu Gaoxian smiled and said, "What do you thank me for, this is your own earnings, and I asked for it for you."
Lu Chaoyang shook his head: "Lu has a few catties and a few taels, and he knows it in his heart. Nanzhen Fusi and Beisi are directly subordinate to the emperor's order, if it weren't for the prince's mouth, it would be impossible for the long-lived lord to hand over Nanzhen Fusi to outsiders."
He seems to be a stupid piece of wood, but in fact he has a great mind. He was corrupt in Shandong
To be able to achieve such results, it is by no means something that can be done by recklessness alone.
If Lu Chaoyang was really a reckless man, let alone coming back alive from Shandong, he would have died in Jiaozhi a long time ago.
Zhu Gaoxian patted Lu Chaoyang's shoulder and said, "This king will not let you down, and you should not let this king down."
Lu Chaoyang's eyes were moved, he knew that Zhu Gaoxian was vaguely hinting at the Jiang family.
is also the Guangxi Jiangmen, the Lu family and the Jiang family, which have an endless blood debt......
……
Approaching the end of the year, the streets and alleys of Jinling City are lit up with lights, and the word "Fu" is pasted in red in front of the door of every house, so as to make a wish to run in the coming year, without disease and disaster.
There are children on the side of the road with firecrackers, running slowly and being blown up with a black face, crying home to find their mother, the mother saw that the child's new cotton jacket was burned with a small hole, angry and distressed.
Jinling City, which seems to be jubilant, is not everyone can have a good year.
In the dark and damp alley, a thin boy in ragged clothes sat against the wall, his cloak exuding a rotten stench, and the equally sloppy burly man leaned against the boy's arms, his breath faint.
"......," the man said, pushing his might, "you...... Get out of ......"
The young man said calmly, "You and I have become like this, what kind of young master are you pretending to be?"
The man was silent, and he tried his best to push the boy away.
He wanted the boy to live.
At the very least, don't die in front of yourself.
Although this boy used to be the person he hated the most.
"Don't fucking move, isn't it good to be honest with me here and wait for death!" The young man yelled impatiently, "Do you think this is Fuzhou?"
When the man heard this, a line of tears appeared in the corner of his eyes.
How could he have imagined that he would be reduced to this, waiting for death in a dirty corner.
"Bell—"
The young man heard the voice and saw two Hongwu Tongbao's ten copper plates falling in front of him.
He looked up and saw a richly dressed young man standing in front of him, the copper plate that the man had dropped.
Zhu Gaoxian said coldly: "Take the money to buy a few steamed buns, don't die here, bad luck."
