Chapter 723: The Crown Prince Supervises the Kingdom
Chapter 723: The Crown Prince's Prison Country.
Zhu Di is the emperor, even if he likes his second prince Zhu Gaoxi, he doesn't want him to rebel and usurp the throne, because rebellion will inevitably lead to war, and the people who have just stabilized will suffer from displacement again.
Zhu Di didn't think like this when he was still King Yan, everyone in the world is running for power, and he is naturally no exception, but now that he is the emperor, he must think about the people of the world.
At this time, Zhu Di deeply felt the pain of his father Zhu Yuanzhang, at the beginning, was Zhu Yuanzhang also embarrassed about leaving King Yan as the prince or making Zhu Yunwen the prince?
At this time, Zhu Gaoxi is like Zhu Di in the past, so at this time, Zhu Di can understand Zhu Gaoxi's feelings very well.
It's just that even if Zhu Di understands Zhu Gaoxi's feelings, he is even more determined in what Ye Xing said, let the crown prince Zhu Gaochi supervise the country, he can't give Zhu Gaoxi a little hope of wanting to be the emperor, if he can, he will also cut Zhu Gaoxi's title, and he will clear all obstacles for his prince.
Just like Zhu Yuanzhang back then.
As time passed, Zhu Di deeply understood his father back then, why he wanted to weaken the power of their brothers, and why he spared no effort to help Zhu Yunwen clear the obstacles.
Now that he Zhu Di is in his position, he has to do something.
The hundred officials in the main hall saw that Zhu Di was silent for a while, and they were all too frightened to speak more, after all, the emperor's mind is the most unpredictable!
After a long time, Zhu Di looked at the civil and military officials and said: "Our Ming dynasty is immediately defeated, so I hope that the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty will remember this, I originally wanted to take the prince to experience the war, but the prince is weak, so I decided to let the prince supervise the country, and the second prince Zhu Gaoxi will follow me on the expedition." ”
Zhu Di's words are very clear, he not only wants Zhu Gaochi to be the prince, but he also wants to take Zhu Gaoxi away, so as not to make any conspiracy and tricks during his absence in the capital.
After finishing speaking, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi stood up from the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and shouted: "The son must do a good job of supervising the country and not let his father worry." ”
Zhu Di nodded slightly: "During my expedition, if you have any difficulties, you can directly consult with Ye Xing, the king of the Ming Dynasty, his wisdom is enough to help you deal with anything in the Manchu Dynasty." ”
Zhu Gaochi received orders again and again, and then retreated.
This early dynasty ended like this, and the crown prince Zhu Gaochi became a prisoner because of Ye Xing's words, which made Zhu Gaochi very grateful and trusted Ye Xing, but on the contrary, the second prince Zhu Gaoxi hated Ye Xing very much, and on the way back to the house, he cursed Ye Xing many times in his heart, thinking that he must put Ye Xing to death if he had the opportunity.
Regarding the thoughts of the second prince Zhu Gaoxi, Ye Xing can also guess some of them, the competition between the royal family, outsiders are often the victims, but if you choose the right person, it is okay to sacrifice at all.
For Ye Xinglai, he firmly believed that he had chosen the right one, although Zhu Gaochi had only been the emperor for one year and died of illness, but this was enough for Ye Xing to see the future not far away.
Only by following the right people can you live longer.
In January of the eighth year of Yongle, Zhu Di finally assembled the soldiers and horses, a total of 500,000 horses, these 500,000 horses drove to the frontier, which was very spectacular, but this news did not scare the Mongolian Tatars away, they are the kind of people who do not die without the heart of the Yellow River, so when Zhu Di did not teach them a lesson, it was impossible for them to escape.
At this time, it was still early spring, and the wind blew a slight chill on his face, but when Zhu Di came to this far northern land, his heart was extremely agitated, and he returned here.
Zhu Di has lived in the north for more than 30 years, and he prefers the roughness and unrestrainedness here to the small bridges and flowing water in the south.
This war will be a fierce war, and it will also be the famous Northern Expedition in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
But it is said that Zhu Di drove the expedition in person, but there is nothing abnormal in the whole Jinling, the people still eat and drink, and when they have nothing to do, they go to the Qinhuai River to recruit a few girls to play, and national events are too far away for them and the people.
However, national affairs are far away for the people, but for Zhu Gaochi, he always pays attention to the war in the distance, and he must also know the result of the war, he is the supervisor of the country, this is his responsibility.
In the early dynasty, as always, some ministers were still very polite to Zhu Gaochi, after all, he was the crown prince, but some of Zhu Gaoxi's military attachés were different, on the first day of Zhu Gaochi's reign, several military attachés said that they were sick and could not go to the court, although Zhu Gaochi understood what they thought, but he couldn't have a seizure, after all, he was in charge of the country, if his courtiers were sick, he couldn't be strong!
After the early dynasty retreated, Zhu Gaochi immediately recruited Ye Xing, he really wanted to change the current situation, otherwise he really didn't look like a prison country.
Ye Xing saw that the fat prince had a worried face, and his heart was a little uncomfortable, a benevolent person like him was a little unsuitable to be the emperor, although a benevolent person did not kill much, but it was difficult to establish a country to be strong.
Many things can only be achieved by strong means.
But now Zhu Gaochi is already the crown prince, and it is also in history, so it is impossible for Ye Xing to change anything, he can only try his best to help this prince.
"Ye Aiqing, now that many generals and marquis refuse to come to the early dynasty, what should you do with the crown prince!" After Zhu Gaochi finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh, as if there were too many hardships in this world, and they all pressed on him alone.
I'm afraid this is also the pressure of being the crown prince and supervising the country, like other lowly people will not have this kind of pressure, they are not in their position, they do not seek their own government, they only want to do their own things, and there are too many things in this prison country.
It's not terrible to have too many things, if a person has the ability and is not afraid of many things, such as Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, but if Zhu Gaochi is just a benevolent prince, it's not good to have too many things.
Ye Xing pondered for a moment and said, "The prince doesn't have to worry, since those ministers say that they are sick and can't go to court, then let's go and visit!" ”
"Visiting those courtiers?" Zhu Gaochi didn't quite understand, although he was kind-hearted, he didn't want to give any good face to those who were against him, this was human nature.
Ye Xing nodded slightly: "How could those people all be sick at once, they obviously don't want to go to the court, but if the prince takes the imperial doctor to visit, they will definitely pretend to be sick, and then there will be a good show, but in order to show the prince's benevolence, you must still ......be like this at that time."
Ye Xing said a long thing in Zhu Gaochi's East Palace, Zhu Gaochi praised again and again after listening to it, and felt more and more that his father was right to make it difficult to discuss with Ye Xing, Ye Xing is simply a think tank!
