The country cannot be without a king for a day, Zhu Gaochi's appearance can be said to be some people happy and some people are dissatisfied, and the dissatisfied people are almost all royal families, the problem is that in the face of the knives and guns in the hands of Yan Jun, who dares to raise objections?

Correspondingly, a wonderful chemical reaction occurred, because Zhu Di, the culprit who overthrew Emperor Jianwen, also died unexpectedly, and it seems that the grievances and grievances between the court and the Yan Wangfu have also disappeared.

Zhu Gaochi has lived in the capital for a long time, and he has a virtuous name no less than Zhu Yunwen, and has always won the praise of Emperor Gao, and has a good impression in the minds of Wenchen. For most of the courtiers who were still loyal to Emperor Jianwen, the political philosophy of the prince of Yan should be in the same vein as that of the Jianwen dynasty.

In short, the most important thing is that the Yan army has occupied the Jingshi, and no one can speak out against it.

But there is no doubt that Zhu Gaochi is very in line with the expectations of civil officials, so there is a lot less trouble, otherwise if Zhu Gaochu is replaced as the emperor, there will definitely be many people who would rather die than have to resist.

Not to mention that the civil and military officials were overjoyed one by one, and the previous apprehension turned into a joy, why did the Battle of Jingjing break out, isn't it just that he is afraid that the second Zhu Yuanzhang will be the emperor? Especially the officials who have dealt with Zhu Gaochi, they all know that the prince has a benevolent heart comparable to that of Emperor Jianwen.

On June 17, Zhu Gaochi first escorted the coffin of King Yan to Zongmiao for storage, and at the same time Beiping began to build a mausoleum, even if Zhu Di did not leave any will during his lifetime, but no one dared to bury him next to Taizu, otherwise the father and son would have to fight under Jiuquan. Beiping is the place where Yanwang Dragon dives. Changed its name to Beijing, and temporarily defaulted to the capital.

After Zhu Gaochi cried a lot, he went to the filial piety tomb to worship, the kings and civil and military officials prepared the law frame, presented the treasure seal, and the soldiers and civilians stood on both sides of the road, shouting long live.

After returning to the capital, Zhu Gaochi accepted the congratulations of the ministers in the Fengtian Palace, and officially became the emperor. Xu Hao proposed to respect Zhu Di as Emperor Taizong and Princess Yan as the empress dowager. According to history, it is proposed to change the Yuan Hongxi.

Long live the sound of the mountains. Zhu Gao sat on the dragon chair in fear, his heart stirred inexplicably, from this moment on, he was the orthodox emperor of the vast Ming Empire. Ruled over tens of millions of subjects. He has supreme imperial power. All will prostrate themselves at his feet.

At this time, Zhu Gaochi subconsciously glanced at his brother Xu Hao who was smiling, his expression was full of joy and encouragement, and he couldn't help but be grateful in his heart. To have today, the biggest hero can be said to be his brother, for many years has been showing the strong support of the carriage and horse, looking at the entire Beiping Mansion only he dares to do this, and this support of the merit of him, who else?

Zhu Gaochi nodded slightly towards Xu Hao with a smile, and then looked at the majestic palace in the distance, thinking about how many battles he had fought in four years since the first year of Jianwen with his father? How many people died? Conquering the city and conquering the city, turning to fight for thousands of miles, he did not dare to slack off in the rear for a day, tried his best to recruit soldiers to prepare grain and grass, and spent a lot of effort to deal with government affairs, but it was often inferior to the second brother's military exploits, and the filial piety of the third brother Chenghuan's knees. How much hardship did you endure and how many tears did you shed when you were trapped in Beiping? By the way, at that time, Xu Hao was by his side from beginning to end.

Zhu Gaochi sighed with emotion, a trace of suspicion of Xu Hao because of his father's tragic death disappeared, and secretly said If I can't even trust Xu Hao, then who else can I trust? At this moment, he experienced the loneliness of the emperor's superiority.

In this way, in the sunny, beautiful summer of July, a new emperor was born, and a new era had slowly begun.

This day is the first day of July in the fourth year of Jianwen, Zhu Gaochi led the civil and military officials in the southern suburbs to worship heaven and earth, returned to Fengtian Palace, officially became the emperor, the edict changed the previous four years to the year of Yongle, and the next year is the first year of Hongxi.

After these days of deliberation, Zhu Gaochi, who had been a little resentful of his father's partiality since he was a child, really did not inherit the will of King Yan. It is very interesting that it seems that the emperors of the Ming Dynasty have some restraint between father and son, and the next generation of emperors will inevitably change the policies of the previous generation of emperors. Between Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunwen, between Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Di, between Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi, and between Zhu Gaochi and the future Zhu Zhanji.

Therefore, Zhu Gaochi boldly promised in public that the ancestral laws that were easy to change in the Jianwen Dynasty would be abolished or recognized after consultation with the courtiers, and solemnly promised that he would not completely restore the old system of the Hongwu Dynasty, respect the merits and immorality of Emperor Jianwen, and not delete a word of the historical books. This move made Fang Xiaoru and others cry bitterly, and the attitude of some ministers who would rather die than surrender gradually softened.

After hearing about this, more than 400 Beijing officials who abandoned their official positions and did not do anything went to Beijing to meet Emperor Hongxi, and Zhu Gaochi pardoned all of his crimes.

But where there is sunshine, there is shadow, and in the Wenhua Palace, Chen Ying said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the female officials and eunuchs in the palace and all the palace people are a scourge and have to be eliminated." ”

Zhu Gaochi, who was sitting on the dragon chair, frowned slightly, and Chen Ying said again: "Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, Fang Xiaoru, Tie Xuan, Sheng Yong and others are all rebellious ministers, and they deserve death. ”

Xu Hao frowned and said, "Wanton killing hurts the heavens and the peace, it's not appropriate!" I also hope that Your Majesty will be lenient and peaceful, and if you say something that should not be said, wouldn't killing your clan leave no loyal ministers behind? ”

"The governor is wrong to say this." Chen Ying sneered, "Zhu Yunwen is not in the right position, and the whole dynasty is a rebel, how can he win the trust of the world if he doesn't kill him?" ”

Xu Hao smiled and was speechless, and Zhu Neng, who was standing under him, immediately said angrily: "Get out!" What do you do when Jing is difficult to come? Dare to make a big statement in front of the emperor? Instigating His Majesty's Majesty to go on a killing spree, wouldn't it make His Majesty bear the name of a tyrant? ”

Zhang Yu also said in a deep voice: "The first emperor warned me many times not to kill prisoners and to treat the enemy army well, so as to win the hearts of the army and the people. ”

Ru Yu, Li Jinglong and other former ministers of Jianwen can let Chen Ying kill their colleagues? Otherwise, wouldn't it be implicated in the old accounts? It was because they spoke out against it one after another, and Xu Hao stood aside and smiled heartily. Without Zhu Di, who can suppress all cadres and arbitrariness, civil and military officials naturally have the courage to fight with Zhu Gaochi, whose prestige is still insufficient.

From Zhu Gaochi's point of view, he did not have Zhu Di's huge psychological pressure and suspicion caused by his nephew's misposition. Zhu Di seized power by grabbing the class, but Zhu Gaochi sat back and enjoyed his success, without Zhu Di will never be able to get rid of the shadow of the suspicion of usurpation, and he can be the emperor openly without any whitewashing.

Of course, Zhu Yunwen's influence must be eliminated as soon as possible, and it is too dangerous to live in the Forbidden City, and Zhu Gaochi does not want to be assassinated in a vague way.

Yao Guangxiao glanced at Chen Hui, who was pale, and did not speak, Monk Daoyan's ambition was completely opposite to his. An oath to assist the Ming lord to raise troops and change the dynasty. For this reason, he did not hesitate to fight for four years to kill people, and after success, he returned to the world. One is to kill innocent people's lives for his master, in exchange for his own glory and wealth, and to be a bloody minister.

Xu Hao didn't want to speak randomly. But something has to be said. Otherwise, the conscience will be uneasy. Therefore, he said: "The palace people are also the subjects of His Majesty, and they have served Emperor Gao and his concubines for so many years, how can they be killed as cattle and horses?" Those who are willing to return home should be sent to the local government to make proper arrangements. Those who do not want to go home are placed in the Huangzhuang and let them support themselves.

On the day of the end of the war, I hope that His Majesty can be thrifty, stipulate the upper limit of the number of palace people, prohibit extravagance, especially to reduce the number of eunuchs, and the palace maid is allowed to enter the palace for ten years to be sent home, because throughout the dynasties, the dark things in the Forbidden City can be said to be numerous, and the palace maid has been imprisoned for countless souls in her life. ”

Zhu Gaochi seemed to slowly nod his head in agreement, but in fact, he was a little unhappy in his heart, because he was very lustful, in the twenty years of being the prince in history, even if he didn't dare to blatantly recruit beauties, but the number of concubines also exceeded that of the prince Zhu Biao and Zhu Yunwen combined, in just ten months of being the emperor in history, the number of concubines who were canonized reached twelve, and there were not many who had no name.

Besides, a man is not willing to be a woman who belongs to him and throws himself into the arms of others, unless he takes the initiative to give it away, even if it is a lowly Gong'e.

Seeing this, in order to cater to the holy will, some civil servants raised objections to the establishment of the number of palace maids, on the grounds that it involved the secrets of the palace and could not be leaked.

Xu Hao said coldly: "Nachen suggested that those who serve as female officials in the future must be the daughters of officials, presumably as a courtier will be willing, just start from this time, tomorrow the school-age girls in the Liupin Jingguan family will be sent to Chuxiu Palace for selection." ”

Now the officials' faces turned green, and Ru Yu hurriedly said: "This matter has to be discussed later." ”

Xu Hao immediately turned his face and scolded angrily: "Shameless! You wait for your children to be delicate and expensive, and you don't want to enter the palace and suffer for a lifetime, so the daughter of the common people is a cheap life? ”

"That's it!" Zhu Gaochi didn't expect that he had just ascended the throne to discuss state affairs for the emperor, and he was actually involved in the palace maid, and he couldn't help laughing, how could he not want to establish a career when he was a new emperor? On the contrary, the female color is secondary, and she said in a deep voice: "I have no intention of accepting concubines, the number of palace maids shall not exceed 2,000, divided into show girls and house girls, house girls can return home when they are twenty-five years old, show girls, this!" ”

Xu Hao hurriedly said: "The show girl can follow the ancestral system, and the number of people can not be more than three hundred, otherwise I am afraid of His Majesty's reputation?" Well, the fortunate ones are determined by His Majesty, and the rest can be released to the elderly to return home as appropriate every time there is an amnesty, thinking that it is a holy grace, and then coming to the eunuchs for the disaster of the past dynasties, and please also set up an iron law under His Majesty, not allowed to participate in politics, not allowed to leave Beijing half a step, the number of people shall not exceed 3,000, and the labor of the twelve prisons is not enough to hire the people, otherwise the eunuchs will sooner or later be my Ming henchmen. ”

As soon as this statement came out, it was unanimously approved by all officials, since ancient times, officials who like eunuchs are either born cheap bones or in order to collude with internal and external governments to control the government, since Xu Hao stepped forward to shoot at the eunuchs, why not support his suggestion?

In fact, at the beginning of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang set up less than 100 eunuchs, and in the last years, it was expanded to 12 eunuchs and various bureaus, and due to the increase in children and concubines, the number of eunuchs with grades gradually expanded to nearly 1,000. However, Zhu Yuanzhang also stipulated that eunuchs were not allowed to concurrently hold the rank of civil and military officials of foreign ministers, and they were not allowed to serve foreign ministers and interfere in political affairs.

In the period of Emperor Jianwen, the eunuchs were treated more severely, and the local officials had the right to arrest and punish the eunuchs, so that the eunuchs collectively defected to the king of Yan, and Xu Hao could be said to have publicly offended the most unoffended group this time.

It is precisely because of Zhu Di's great reward in history, just in the first year of Yongle at the beginning of his reign, he sent a strategic eunuch to accompany Gu Cheng and others out of Guizhou and other places, and even gave him a duke suit, and his status was still above the generals.

And Zhu Gaochi, as an emperor, naturally has his position, why do eunuchs interfere in politics repeatedly? The emperor is the source, and it is far easier to control the eunuchs who have no roots than the courtiers.

At present, the foothold is not stable, Zhu Gaochi will naturally not openly oppose the ministers, especially Xu Hao, who is still the most relied on, immediately nodded with a smile, as for whether he will act according to the rules in the future, only the old man knows.

Xu Hao knew very well that it was useless in the end, but the number of poor palace people could be reduced by more than half, as for whether the eunuchs would retaliate? He believed that most eunuchs were honest people who kept to themselves.

In order to maintain the rule and majesty of the Hongxi Dynasty, and to deter other officials so that the yamen can resume normal operation as soon as possible, killing people is necessary, and any reigning emperor will not be soft in this regard.

However, compared with the tragic Yongle Dynasty in history, Zhu Gaochi issued an order to only kill the first evil, Qitai Huang Zicheng's entire family was beheaded, more than a dozen ministers who would rather die than surrender were beheaded to show the public, and the rest of the accomplices were dismissed, and the whole clan was sent to Liaodong.

This is already the best result that Xu Hao dreamed of, and there are only a thousand people who are connected. Moreover, he sent troops early in the morning to take advantage of the chaos to kill hundreds of old bustards who were forced to become prostitutes and turtle slaves who had lost their conscience, so that the church workshop was no longer available.

Zhu Gaochi and Xu Hao had the same idea on this point, and took advantage of the situation to order the restoration of the civilian status of all criminal ministers and dependents since the founding of the country to win the hearts of the people.

In terms of dealing with the royal family, Zhu Gaochi, as a nephew, naturally could not let the Battle of Jingyan reappear, and there was no need for Xu Hao and other courtiers to suggest that while restoring the princes, uncles and princes, he did not restore his guards, and also resumed the secret surveillance of the Jinyi Guard, ready to look for an excuse to cut the domain again at any time.

Zhang Yu and other generals led their troops out of Beijing, and Li Jinglong and others were also sent to various vassal palaces to prevent any vassal kings from making any changes.

Xu Hao tried his best to ensure that Fang Xiaoru would not die, because Fang Xiaoru advocated: "The king of heaven is for the people, not for the people", although it is incorrect, it is always a big step forward than Zhu Di thought before his death, "the emperor is the lord of the people".

After punishing the criminals and stabilizing the situation in the capital, it was everyone's turn to reward the meritorious deeds. (To be continued......)
