Jingshi, Ying Tianfu.

Royal Palace, Imperial Garden.

Although it was still early spring in March, the flowers in the Imperial Garden began to bloom in the warm Kyoshi.

Zhu Di stood in the pavilion on the top of the rockery, with his hands behind his back and a big belly, looking at the scenery in the imperial garden with interest. In the three years since he ascended the throne, he has spent more and more time sitting and reviewing the recitals, so that there is very little time to relax, let alone the joy of arching horses, and this belly is growing day by day.

He likes to stand here and look at the feeling below, when he was a child, the emperor's eldest brother Zhu Biao and several other brothers often took a few of them to play in the garden, at that time he often looked up at this pavilion from below, occasionally his father would watch them play here, as long as he saw his father's upright figure, it was the happiest time of the day.

Later, the eldest brother of the emperor, Zhu Biao, the second brother of Qin, Zhu Zhang, and the third brother, Zhu Zhu, the king of Jin, all died early, and he became the eldest among the princes, but his father never liked him, and he always had only the eldest brother of the emperor who died young, and he actually set up Zhu Biao's son Zhu Yunwen as the grandson of the emperor and inherited the throne.

It doesn't matter, at that time he said to himself, as long as his father likes it. He never likes to fight, although he doesn't like Zhu Yunwen's weakness and lack of assertiveness, and his sour and rotten book is angry, but after all, it is his own nephew, the child of his most respected emperor's eldest brother, since he is already the rich and noble King Yan, he will guard the northern frontier for the country and spend the rest of his life in Beiping, where the sky is high and the earth is far away. The so-called statement that he was exiled to the north by his father and the emperor, he never took it to heart. In order to show his heart, he even left his two sons in Beijing as hostages.

But there are always people who don't let go of themselves, after Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng and others under the banner of loyalty and patriotism, for their own fame and future, the emperor instigated the emperor's wariness of himself at the beginning of the new dynasty. This stupid nephew is also soft-eared like this, the new emperor ascended the throne without thinking about the national economy and people's livelihood to stabilize the political situation, and even listened to the instigation and plotted to cut the feudal domain. Not only did they not get used to enjoying the wealth and nobility in this place far away from Emperor Gao, but they also watched the army that they had painstakingly managed for many years to guard against the remnants of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty. In June of the first year of Jianwen, Qi Tai couldn't wait to start a large-scale arrest of Yan officials and put them in prison, tortured and forced to identify the king of Yan as a rebellion, and then sent people to seize the military power of Beiping City Defense and arrest himself, forcing him to launch a battle of Jingyan in July of the first year of Jianwen.

After three years of war, the people of Mourning were all over the wilderness, and how many loyal people did not die on the battlefield against the Yuan and Mengzi Tartars, but died under the butcher's knife of the Ming Dynasty's own people, and even they escaped death several times. And when the Yan army approached the city, this mediocre nephew not only did not come to his senses to punish Qi Tai's traitorous ministers, but instead sent people to ask for peace with him, and proposed a plan to cede the land and divide the territory. How many Han people in the world of the Ming Dynasty have thrown their heads and spilled their blood in exchange, and what a price the Zhu family has paid in exchange, this vertical son did not hesitate to openly split it in order to keep the throne, from that moment on, in Zhu Di's heart, this nephew is not worthy of sitting in this seat at all.

Up to now, this incompetent nephew set himself on fire, Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, these opponents who had wanted to put Zhu Di to death and then quickly were also wiped out along with their nine clans, leaving him alone here to watch the scenery, is it lonely? He took a deep breath, compared to what will happen in the future, these are how insignificant, but everything needs to come according to plan, before that comes, he must be patient, patient.

Zhu Di retracted his gaze and turned to look at the person who had been kneeling in front of him and didn't dare to move. This person is known as the world's first talent, a three-jinshi Xie Jin. Zhu Di has liked the art of archery and horse war since he was a child, and his dislike for scholars is as stubborn as it is in his bones. He hates the pretentiousness of scholars, their pedantry, and their orthodox inheritance, these people desperately want to use traditional Taoism to tighten a bucket, and his favorite thing is to smash all the jars and jars without scruples. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have killed Fang Xiaoru.

When he led the army from Beiping that year, Yao Guangxiao entrusted him not to kill Fang Xiaoru on the day of the destruction of Nanjing, because he was the "seed of the world's scholars". At that time, he was full of promises, and later Fang Xiaoru claimed in front of him that Zhu Yunwen was the orthodox way of heaven, saying that he raised troops to rebel and the world would not tolerate it, which made him angry and found a reason to directly destroy Fang Xiaoru's entire clan. Zhu Di has been obedient to Yao Guangxiao all his life, but on this matter, he can't listen to anyone's opinions. But hate is hate, Zhu Di still understands the lessons of the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, and it is necessary to use scholars to govern the world. For example, the world-famous Xie Jin in front of him.

With the completion of the reduction of the military power of the vassal kings, Zhu Di understood that the current country has completed the cleansing of the ills of the previous dynasty, and now it needs to be stable and developed, so he reused celebrities like Xie Jin and asked them to compile the Yongle Canon, all in order to obtain the support of the literati and create a stable and thriving atmosphere in the country.
