Chapter 41 The crown prince is crowned, and all nations come to court

Zhu Di's personal expedition this time defeated the ambitions of the Northern Yuan in one fell swoop, and the political results were great, and a few months later, the Tatar Taishi Arutai came to pay tribute with a large amount of tribute.

Then, the Warat tribe also sent envoys.

Horses, mink, and silver rat skins were paid tribute on both sides...... and other large tributes, to a certain extent, alleviated the Ming finances.

Zhu Di also symbolically gave back silk and tea, but in general, it was still a Ming earning.

However, this pro-conquest against the heir also brought some changes.

Seeing that the current emperor is so martial, the hundred officials feel more and more that the King of Han has a play, and many of them have thrown themselves under the King of Han.

The second child's power has become more and more huge, and has even overshadowed the boss.

This made Zhu Di unexpected, this is not the result he wants to see, there is no suspense about the position of the prince, and Zhu Di has no real intention of establishing the second child.

But the second child is too easy to use, Zhu Di doesn't want him to go, as long as the second child is there, Wenchen and the boss can't toss.

For the emperor, a proper court struggle is not a bad thing, but a great thing.

What Zhu Di wants is to let the boss do things and let the second boss suppress the boss.

However, it is not possible to press too hard.

So, he found Li Qing to find a way.

Approaching the end of the New Year, Li Qing was comfortably preparing for the New Year, and complained: "Your Majesty, the New Year's Eve is not as appealing as you!" ”

"Less nonsense." Zhu Di said, "Do you still have a plan?" ”

Li Qing was indifferent to the second child, and said directly, "Let the King of Han become a vassal." ”

"He can't leave yet." Zhu Di shook his head.

Li Qing was helpless: "Then get closer to the prince." ”

"This ...... No, it doesn't. Zhu Di said, "I don't want the boss and Wenchen to taste the sweetness. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I've told you everything, what else can I say? Li Qing didn't have a good breath, "I can't help it." ”

"No, you have."

Li Qing: "......"

After pondering for a moment, Li Qing said, "In that case, then find a helper for the prince." ”

"I can't believe it."

"No, you can trust it."

"Who is it?"

"The emperor's eldest grandson!"

"Junki?" Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and then nodded his head, "Okay, this is good." ”

……

In the ninth year of Yongle, on the first day of the hundred officials, Zhu Di announced a blockbuster news.

β€”β€”Canonize the eldest grandson of the emperor and become the grandson of the emperor!

What the imperial grandson means, the ministers can't understand it anymore, because the first imperial grandson of the Ming Dynasty is Jianwen.

For a time, the situation of the struggle for succession changed again, and the princelings were like a shot in the arm, and the strong Han Wang Party was also much more restrained.

The battle for succession restored the result that Zhu Di wanted, the princelings had the advantage, and the Han Wang party chased and fought fiercely.

Zhu Di put his mind at ease and once again focused on building the capital and connecting the canal.

With the taxes paid in the second half of last year, plus the tribute, the treasury finally has a little money.

This time, Zhu Di's waist stiffened again.

Repair, keep repairing!

The fourth child dares to do this, and he also has to rely on, and in the second half of the year at the latest, Sanbao will be able to come back.

At that time, it will be another large amount of financial revenue.

However, the treasury really couldn't withstand Zhu Di's extravagance, and after only three months, it was once again depleted, and he couldn't even wait for the tax payment in the first half of the year.

At this time, too, a man stood up.

- King Han, Zhu Gaoxu!

In order to please Zhu Di, he directly took out most of his wealth and fully supported Lao Tzu's career.

The second child took the money, but the eldest couldn't watch it, so Chubby gritted his teeth, cut back on food and clothing, and sold a lot of valuable things.

It is said that even the furniture was sold.

finally squeezed out a sum of money, although he couldn't catch up with the second child, but he did his best.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Di immediately held a court meeting and solemnly praised the two sons, of course, mainly to praise the King of Han.

Without him, the king of Han paid the most money.

At the same time, Queen Xu Miaoyun also donated money, and Zhu Di took out all the money from the inside.

When King Zhao heard the news, he also sent a large amount of money and grain, and the news spread to the ears of the other vassal kings, and the vassal kings scolded and scolded, but they also had to make a show.

Although they were reluctant to bleed, it was also a great fortune for so many vassal kings to get together.

The emperor, the empress, the crown prince, and even the entire royal family all took the money, and the nobles were not good-looking, so they donated money one after another.

As soon as the honors and nobles donated, Wenchen is not easy to stand by, they are committed to suppressing the generals, and naturally they will not be compared.

As a result, the ministers' vigorous donations began, and Li Qing also donated a lot.

Xia Yuanji counted the money until his hands cramped, and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile.

But he didn't be happy for long, he couldn't laugh, Zhu Di couldn't have money in his hands, as soon as he had money, he felt that he was scratching and had to spend it.

Immediately ordered: repair, increase the intensity of repair.

Such a huge project has caused a serious burden on the people, and while the national strength is strong, the people's lives are becoming more and more miserable.

Zhu Di's policy is absolutely correct in the long run, but it is not a good thing for the people nowadays.

In order to ensure the smooth operation of the project, the forced labor system became more and more stringent, making the people miserable.

For a time, the impeachment of Zhu Di was like a snowflake, and the official scolded Zhu Di for being so happy and working hard for the people and money.

It's a fact.

Zhu Di, like Lao Zhu, knows mistakes, corrects mistakes, and does not admit mistakes.

He appropriately reduced the system of forced labor, allowing the people to breathe, and at the same time, he also beat the officials who impeached him.

This time he didn't kill anyone, but the official was not happy, and he couldn't get off the ground for half a month after a cane.

Li Qing is not good at persuading Zhu Di, and he doesn't want to persuade him, Zhu Di's policies can only be implemented by him, if he stops there, he will not be able to implement them at all when he goes to the prince and grandson.

Suffering one generation, benefiting many generations.

Especially through the canal, it can be used forever after dredging, which is beneficial for thousands of years.

All he can do is to ensure that these policies are implemented while making the people suffer as little as possible.

……

With the cabinet here, Li Qing's workload is not large, he works less than two hours a day, only puts forward some key opinions, and spends the rest of his time having fun.

As the three daughters get older, Li Qing cherishes the time in front of her more and more, and takes them shopping when she has time, and sometimes takes them on leave to take them to Suzhou and Hangzhou to enjoy the beautiful rivers and mountains.

In September, the Three Treasures returned to the court.

This time, Sambo went to more places, such as Champa, Bintonglong, Chenla, Siam, False Martin, Khangangsan, Java, Chonggara, Giri Suldi, Guri, Manraka, Aru, Sumatra, Sulu and dozens of other countries.

The things brought back are also a lot more than last time, one side of the water and soil to raise one side of the people, the silk, porcelain and other commodities of the Ming Dynasty are regarded as heavenly things, but their local specialties there are also rare things in the Ming Dynasty.

Many of them are priceless.

The Three Treasures not only brought a lot of wealth, but also brought envoys from various countries, and envoys from dozens of countries worshipped them one by one.

All of them paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty and established tributary trade with the Ming Dynasty.

Such a scene of all countries coming to the dynasty made Zhu Di, the ministers, and even the people of Beijing all honored.

The pride of the nation arises spontaneously, and the Ming Dynasty at this time is the king of the world, and there is no one.

- The Roman Empire, not either!

Looking at the envoys of various countries with different skin tones, hair colors, and even pupil colors, the court was full of pride.

The political correctness of going to the West makes it impossible for anyone to refute.

Even Wenchen, whose interests have been damaged, can't tell nonsense with his eyes open.

The national prestige of the Ming Dynasty is famous all over the world, and now the Ming Dynasty is the heyday of national strength, and even the barbaric Northern Yuan Dynasty has called the ministers and paid tribute, so to speak, there is no one who can fight at all.

~

During the banquet, Li Qing looked at these envoys, stunned, and sighed a lot.

He never thought that in ancient times, he could have such close contact with so many foreigners, and for a while he would have a sense of returning to the afterlife.

"Li Qing!"

Li Qing came back to his senses and arched his hand, "Your Majesty." ”

"How?" Zhu Di asked with a smile.

Li Qing couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw him looking like 'praise me', but the fourth child was really awesome, "The emperor is wise and martial......"

Balabala......

Zhu Di was very useful, and said in high spirits, "I want to raise the Ming Dynasty to a higher level, and after me, even if the successor is the king, according to the governance of the book, it will be able to continue the prosperous era." ”

He said proudly, "The brilliant and prosperous era I have laid down, no matter who takes over, it will be a prosperous era. ”

Li Qing smiled and nodded, "Emperor Shengming." ”

Although Zhu Di's words are crazy, they are also true.

If there is no Yongle to lay a solid foundation, how can Renxuan's rule come?

The large-scale Northern Expedition, the passage of canals, the construction of new capitals, the construction of treasure ships, and the sale of large quantities of beautiful things overseas......

On the surface, it is a costly and loss-making business, but in fact it is not.

It is true that it costs a lot of money, it makes a lot of profits, and it is also true that it will work for thousands of years.

And, the pros far outweigh the cons!

However, from the standpoint of the people, Zhu Di is not a good emperor, and he is not even as good as Jianwen, at least Ren Jianwen has reduced several sets of taxes.

As for Zhu Di, yes, he also reduced his taxes, but he added them back in a few years, and he reached the highest level in the Ming Dynasty, far exceeding the Hongwu period.

The Ming Dynasty is strong, but the people are suffering.

The rich gentry was even more miserable, and secretly scolded a lot, but he only dared to complain secretly.

Wen Chen also wanted to cry without tears when he faced such a martial emperor.

Their resentment against Zhu Di is far greater than that of Zhu Yuanzhang, although Zhu Di killed far less people than Zhu Yuanzhang, but, Zhu Di grabbed money!

It's a pity that Zhu Di is not Jianwen, and he can handle it at will.

Even if Wenchen has grievances, he can only hold back.

This contradiction is gradually increasing, but no one dares to attack because of Zhu Di's imperial prestige.
