After listening to the sinner's decree, the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty discussed it separately, who is the king of Pingxi, 'Wu Sangui'?
"Who is this 'Chen Yuanyuan'? Is it the same person as Xia Chaomeixi? ”
"Emperor Qianlong Qing 'Hongli' is which emperor of the Ming Dynasty!?"
"This Empress Dowager 'Cixi' actually cut her land for peace for her own interests and enjoyment, and didn't think about saving the country?"
In the end, it was Zhu Di who interrupted the ministers and said clearly: Yao Guangxiao came up with the future according to Yuan Tiangang's push-back-drawing, and then Zhu Di told the ministers to modify some things!
At this time, Yao Guangxiao couldn't help but sneeze in the temple, wondering who was calculating himself?
In the main hall, Zhu Di looked at the ministers and followed you and me one sentence after another, until the crown prince Zhu Gaochi suddenly said: "The Yu Dynasty has been theocratic enslaved by the Hua-Xia people's thoughts, which led to the union of the Three Emperor Tribes to completely destroy the Yu Dynasty, and the remnants fled to the West and gave birth to monsters with beasts-hybrid-wanted to destroy the Three Emperor Tribes, but unfortunately failed!" ”
When the crown prince Zhu Gaochi said these words, the ministers stopped communicating and listened to the prince Zhu Gaochi continue.
"After the era of the Five Emperors, the lord of the Yu Kingdom gave way to Dayu and established the Xia Dynasty, and the human emperor of the Xia Dynasty, Xia Ji, was cruel and brutal, and Meixi established the Jiuchi Meat Forest and the Liquid Palace for himself, which led to the destruction of the Emperor and the establishment of the Shang Dynasty!"
"The Shang Dynasty learned the lessons of its ancestors, but in the last years of the Shang Dynasty, Emperor Xin reformed many times to damage the interests of the nobles, and sent troops to expand the territory, resulting in the dispersion of troops.
"The Zhou Dynasty learned the lessons of the Shang Dynasty, concentrated all the armies in the national capital, and let the princes expand their territory, resulting in the princes sitting on the throne in two hundred years, opening the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons, the Warring States Seven Heroes period, and then the former Manu won the government and destroyed the Zhou Dynasty, and opened the first great unified dynasty 'Qin Dynasty'!"
"The Qin Dynasty learned the lessons of Yu Xia, Shang and Zhou, abolished the feudal system, and opened the county system, but unfortunately the people below were not loyal at all, and they didn't care about the life and death of the people at all, which led to the chaos in the world after the death of Qin Shi Huang, and finally Liu Bang got the world and established the 'Han Dynasty'."
"The Han Dynasty learned the lessons of the previous dynasties, opened the sub-feudal system, thought that even if it rebelled, it was the Liu family, and eliminated all the princes and kings with different surnames, but after the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened the county system, deposed the hundred families, thought that there was nothing to do, and perished because of his relatives."
"The new dynasty learned the lessons of the previous dynasties and started a crazy reform, because it was eliminated too far ahead, and no one believed in the emperor after the Eastern Han Dynasty, so he opened the eunuch to delegate power, thinking that the eunuch would never rebel after no queen, and as a result, it led to the entry of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, and the two Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasties!"
"After the reunification of the Sui Dynasty, they learned the lessons of the previous dynasties, thinking that the scholars and others could not be trusted, and they opened the imperial examination system to use the people, and now they will be grateful to Dade, and as a result, they will sit in a wedding dress for the Tang Dynasty."
"The Tang Dynasty learned the lessons of the previous dynasties and established a Jiedu Envoy, but as a result, the Jiedu made too much power, which led to the Anshi Rebellion in the back, and entered the darkness of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms for decades, until the establishment of the Song Dynasty!"
"The Song Dynasty learned the lessons of the previous dynasties, concentrated power in the royal family, opened up the imperial examination system, suppressed the old scholars, and emphasized literature over military force, making the economic system of the Song Dynasty the first in the world, the first in science and technology, and the first in culture, but it was wiped out by the Yuan Dynasty!"
"After the Ming Dynasty eliminated the Yuan Dynasty, it learned the lessons of the previous dynasties, and opened no harmony, no compensation, no land, no tribute, the Son of Heaven guarded the country, the king died in the community, and the future may be destroyed by the people's uprising!"
"In the future, I should not be friendly, not pay compensation, not cut land, and not pay tribute, the Son of Heaven will guard the country, the king will die, suppress foreign countries, keep innovating, and if you are backward, you will be beaten!"
"Emperor Shengming, Prince Shengming!" The ministers of the Ming Dynasty knelt down and said.
"Okay, I'm announcing something, I'm going to prepare for the Fourth Northern Expedition, and after I set out on the expedition, the crown prince will officially ascend the throne as emperor!" After Zhu Di finished speaking, he ignored everyone's confusion and left the hall directly......
………………
In July of the 21st year of Yongle, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di personally conquered the battle of Mobei for the fourth time, and the crown prince Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne as the emperor in August, assisted by Yang Shiqi and others.
Because of Zhu Di's warning, Zhu Gaochi did not pursue pleasure to the fullest, vent his lust, nor indulge in wine, but began to spend most of his time on reforming the administration, in order to obtain a straightforward evaluation and expose corruption, Zhu Gaochi gave Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Jin Youzi on October 18, and later Xia Yuanji each had a silver seal, engraved with the motto "rope and sorrow". He ordered them to use this seal to encompass cases of misdeeds committed by nobles and even royalty.

Zhu Gaochi also "ordered Wu'an, Hou Zhengheng and other four people to serve as the chief military officer, and Heng Zhen guarded Datong; Baoding Hou Mengying Town Jiaozhi; Xiangcheng Bo Li Long Town Shanhai (Guan); Wujin Bo Zhu Rong Town Liaodong. ”
The other side......

Zhu Di led the Chinese army with Anyuan Hou Liusheng and Sui Anbo Chen Ying; Wu'an Hou Zheng Heng and Baoding Hou Mengying led the left post; Yangwu Hou Xue Lu and Xin Ning Bo Tan Zhong led the right post; British Gong Zhang Fu, An Pingbo, Li An led the left tuck; Chengshan Hou Wang Tong, Xing'an Bo Xu Heng led the right right; Out of the jam to meet the enemy.
On September 10, the division arrived at the Xiyang River (now Zhang-Jia-Kou-Nan-Zhi-Yang-River) west of Wanquan (present-day Xuan-Hua), and learned that Alutai had been defeated by Warat, and the troops were scattered, so the division was stationed.
Zhu Di ordered Chen Mao, Marquis of Ningyang, to command the troops of Shaanxi, Ningxia, and Gansu as the vanguard to attack the army in western Tatar.
Chen Mao led the army to Helan Mountain, smashed its lair, defeated it, and captured its chieftain Ye Xian Tugan, also known as Jin Zhong and others, as well as tens of thousands of cattle, horses, alpacas, and sheep.
