On the one hand, it is to further reduce the military power in the hands of the princes and minimize the threat of the princes to the court. At the same time, it is to give these princes benefits. It can be said that it is a two-pronged approach of big sticks and sweet dates, and it is a combination of kindness and power! .

The effect is naturally immediate! Even if many princes are dissatisfied, they can only accept such conditions obediently! At least the fourth brother did not kill them all, and still allowed them to continue to live a rich life of luxury and be a free prince for life!

However, in this way, these royal relatives are actually no different from pigs in captivity!

Every day, apart from eating, they just have fun. They don’t do anything serious, and it’s not their turn to do it! [At the beginning of your accession to the throne, you are eager to make some achievements to prove your ability. The first thing you think of is to order the university scholars Xie Jin and Yao Guangxiao to compile the "Yongle Encyclopedia" together. 】

[On June 15, the third year of Yongle, you ordered Zheng He to lead a fleet to the Western Ocean, opening up maritime diplomacy for the first time. This was also the first time that Zheng He's fleet went to the Western Ocean, and you had high hopes for it! 】

Huh? The fourth kid actually sent a fleet to sea! This kid didn't take the rules we set seriously at all!

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang showed a look of surprise on his face, but he was not really angry, or he was not entangled in the matter of the fleet going to sea itself. What he cared about was that the fourth brother Zhu Di actually broke his maritime ban rules!

Although the fourth brother Zhu Di still banned civilians from going to sea, he, Zhu Yuanzhang, never allowed the court's fleet to go to sea! As for the Yongle Encyclopedia, Zhu Yuanzhang thought it was just a decoration, and he didn't take it seriously at all! It's easy to say that it's easy to compile a collection of documents, but I don't know how much manpower, material resources and financial resources will be used!

Whether it can be done on "137" is an unknown!

[In the fourth year of Yongle, you ordered Gong Zhunengpei to be the general commander, Xiping Hou Mu Sheng to be the left deputy general, Xincheng Hou Zhang Fu to be the right deputy general, and supervise the army to march south. ]

[After entering Annan, you issued a proclamation to count the twenty major crimes of Hu Jinyi and Hu Hancang, and told the people to establish the descendants of Chen. The Ming army won a series of victories. Hu burned the palace and sailed into the sea, and was later captured by the Ming army. ]

[You immediately issued an edict to change Annan to Jiaozhi, set up Jiaozhi Provincial Administration, Provincial Inspection and Military Command, and governed fifteen prefectures, thirty-six states, and one hundred and eighty-one counties. The Provincial Administration was directly under the jurisdiction of five states, and governed twenty-nine counties. All key places were set up with guards to control them. ]

Good! I didn't expect that the fourth kid actually conquered Annan! This can be considered as an achievement in expanding territory! However, compared with Lao Jiu, it is still far behind and not impressive enough!

When Zhu Di conquered Annan, Zhu Yuanzhang finally brightened up, but soon the excitement passed, because he unconsciously compared Zhu Di with Zhu Li!

There is no harm without comparison. Under this comparison, Zhu Di's achievements are not worth looking at at all! How big is Annan? ?? [In the same year, you proposed to move the capitalRegarding the Beiping plan, despite many objections from the court, you still overcame all objections and started the construction of the imperial city and palace in Beiping! 】

Huh? The fourth brother actually wants to move the capital to Beiping, and he did it right away! Looking at this situation, moving the capital is inevitable!

Is the future capital of the Ming Dynasty set in Beiping?

Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked, but soon calmed down!

To be honest, he had the idea of ​​moving the capital a long time ago, but it has not been implemented so far. There are many reasons. In general, Zhu Yuanzhang also thinks that Yingtian Prefecture is not appropriate as the capital of the Ming Dynasty. The capital of the Ming Dynasty should be in the north!

It's just that he wants to choose Xi'an Prefecture now, but the fourth brother moved to Beiping!

[In the fifth year of Yongle, Zheng He, who had just returned from the sea, started his second voyage to the West under your instruction. In the same year, Empress Xu died of illness, which made you very sad! 】

Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was slightly shocked! The fourth brother seemed to be a little obsessed with the voyage to the West. Zheng He had just returned, and he actually went to the West for the second time! What surprised Zhu Yuanzhang even more was that the eldest girl of the Xu family died of illness in the fifth year of Yongle, and she was the queen for only four years! As a person who had experienced it, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally felt the same way about Zhu Di at this time!

Zhu Di lost Xu Miaoyun, just like Zhu Yuanzhang lost Ma Xiuying. Only he could understand the pain of losing his beloved! [However, there was finally good news in the same year, that is, the compilation of the Yongle Encyclopedia was successful, but if possible, you would rather not have this achievement, and want your beloved to continue to accompany you! 】

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sigh.

The Yongle Encyclopedia was actually completed in five years, which was a bit beyond Zhu Yuanzhang's expectations! This also shows that Xie Jin and Yao Guangxiao are indeed something!

But such achievements are obviously insignificant compared to the loss of a beloved one. It can only be said to be a consolation! [In the seventh year of Yongle, Zheng He started his third voyage to the West. At the same time, news of Qiu Fu's defeat came from Mobei, which made you determined to personally conquer Mobei! ]

[In the eighth year of Yongle, you personally conquered Mobei for the first time. After defeating the Tatars, you defeated Bayanchur's army on the banks of the Onon River. Bayanchur escaped with only seven horses. ]

[The Ming army defeated Arutai's army in Xing'an Mountains. Arutai's people were scattered, and Arutai fled with his family. The Ming army won a great victory. ]

[Later, Arutai surrendered and Chengzu named him the King of Hening. Before that, you had named the Oirat leader Mahamu as the King of Shunning, Taiping as the King of Xianyi, and Batuboluo as the King of Anle. 】

【But the power of the Oirat Mongols continued to grow, not only blocking the passage from the Ming Dynasty to the northwest, but also attempting to control the Tatars. 】

Well! The fourth brother is still the same temper, he fights when he says he will! But he defeated the Tatars directly, and he didn't bring shame to the Zhu family! But if he wants to completely eliminate these Tatars, the fourth brother is obviously still a long way from being mature, or it is simply difficult to do it! The Tatars are like this, they can't be extinguished by wildfires, and they will grow again in the spring breeze!

This war may not bring a few years of peace to the Ming Dynasty! It's no wonder Zhu Yuanzhang thought so. He, Zhu Yuanzhang, knew the character of the Tartars very well!

If a character like Yegorut is assigned to the fourth child on the grassland, it is estimated that whether the fourth child can withstand it is another matter!

[In the tenth year of Yongle, Zheng He's fleet went to the West for the fourth time. You also appointed Zhu Zhanji as the crown prince and planned to take him with you to teach him personally! ]

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the scene of Zheng He's fleet going to sea again in silence. It seems that the previous voyages to the West made the fourth child taste the sweetness!

If he hadn't received enough benefits, the fourth child would not be so persistent in letting Zheng He lead the fleet to sea again and again! However, Zhu Di was so anxious to appoint Zhu Zhanji as the crown prince, which was something Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect!

Could it be that he was afraid of repeating Zhu Yunwen's mistakes and planned to start teaching his grandchildren from an early age? Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little uncomfortable!

[In February of the 12th year of Yongle, you went out of the border again to fight against Wala. In June, in the battle of Hulanhushiwen, Daliba Khan and the three kings, Mahamu, Taiping, and Batubolo, led the cavalry in three groups and lined up on the hilltop more than ten miles away from the Ming army. There were about 30,000 people, each with three or four horses. ]

[The Ming army sent troops to challenge Mahamu. Mahamu sent Mongolian cavalry to rush down the hillside to fight, but they were shot back by the dense Shenji guns of the Ming army and had to gather on the top of the mountain. After that, the east and west wings of the Ming army advanced, and both sides suffered casualties. 】

【In the evening, you commanded hundreds of elite cavalry as the vanguard, and then the fire guns were fired. The cavalry took advantage of the situation and fought. The Wala tribe was defeated. More than ten princes and others were killed, and thousands of people were killed. Daliba, Mahamu, Taiping and Batuboluo escaped and fled to the Tula River. 】

【After the Ming army defeated the Wala, they announced the victory to Alutai, and Alutai sent envoys to the court soon after. The next year, Wala Mahamu and others sent envoys to apologize to the Ming Dynasty and restored the tributary relationship with the Ming Dynasty. 】

Humph! A bunch of cheap bones who only remember to eat and not to be beaten!

Only if these Tartars are beaten and scared thoroughly, they will respect and fear you!

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was also a little helpless! These grassland Tartars are like dog-skin plasters, and they can't be thrown away unless there is a way to directly eliminate them, but it is obvious that the fourth brother does not have the ability to make these Tartars completely surrender!

[In the 20th year of Yongle, you officially ordered the capital to be moved to Beiping and renamed it Shuntianfu! In the same year, you led the army to conquer the Tatars again! ]

Sixteen years have passed, and the capital of the Ming Dynasty has finally moved to Beiping! But what is the point of leading the army in person right after the capital was moved? The fourth brother is addicted to fighting! [In July, the Ming army arrived at Shahuyuan and captured the Tatars' subordinates. When they learned that Arutai had escaped, they stopped chasing. On the way back, you led the army to defeat the Wuliangha tribe, which had always supported Arutai, and captured and killed many people. The remaining members of the Wuliangha tribe surrendered to the army. ]

[In July of the 21st year of Yongle, you personally conquered Arutai again. In September, the Ming army heard that Arutai was defeated by the Oirat and his tribe was scattered, so they did not send troops to fight. ]

[In October, the Tatar prince YesenTugan led the tribe to surrender, and Zhu Di named him the King of Loyalty and Bravery, and gave him the name Jinzhong. In November, the Ming army returned to the capital. 】

[On July 18, the 22nd year of Yongle, you died in Yumuchuan on the way back from the fifth northern expedition. 】

[You are Zhu Di, the Yongle Emperor who successfully seized the throne from his nephew in a Jingnan Campaign! 】

Zhu Yuanzhang: "..."

Dead!

Old Four actually died on the way back from the fifth northern expedition!

According to the time, Old Four seems to have lived for more than 60 years! However, before Zhu Yuanzhang had time to recover from Zhu Di's death, the picture jumped again, and the deduction was still going on!

In the dream, after Zhu Di's death, the picture lens completed the switch, and it was no longer from Zhu Di's perspective, but more like a transitional connection plot!

But soon, the protagonist's perspective of the plot came to a fat man!

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally recognized him at a glance, and this time the protagonist became Zhu Gaochi!

[On July 18, the 22nd year of Yongle, your 65-year-old father died on his way back to Beijing from the Northern Expedition. Before he became seriously ill, your father issued a will, passing the throne to you, and at the same time gave you a jade seal saying "The ruler is neutral and upright"... 】

[Duke Ying Zhang Fu and cabinet minister Yang Rong kept the death a secret, and everything in the army was normal. At the same time, they sent Yang Rong and eunuch Haishou to Beijing to report secretly. After you learned about it, you immediately sent your son Zhu Zhanji out of Beijing to welcome the funeral. 】

[At this time, you knew that stabilizing the situation was your primary task. You knew very well that once the news of your father's death reached the ears of your second and third brothers, it would inevitably be a bloody storm! 】

[On August 2, the 22nd year of Yongle, you summoned the Minister of Personnel Jian Yi, Grand Secretary Yang Rong, Yang Shiqi and other confidants to discuss the deployment of defenses, and at the same time, you discussed the funeral of Emperor Chengzu with the Minister of Rites Lu Zhen to strengthen the defense of the capital. 】

[You must control the overall situation and ascend the throne smoothly before your second and third brothers react! 】

Zhu Yuanzhang reacted immediately after seeing this!

The emperor died, but the funeral was kept secret. This Zhu Gaochi was on guard against Zhu Gaoxu, the Prince of Han, and Zhu Gaosui, the Prince of Zhao!

From Zhu Di's previous deduction process, Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui both had the intention of seizing the throne, and even framed Zhu Gaochi several times!

The fourth brother died on the way back to Beijing. Once the news leaked out, it is possible that these two princes would stage a drama of seizing the throne! It must be said that although Zhu Gaochi was fat and not as good as Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui in charging into battle, he was definitely much better than the two brothers in terms of scheming! [Since his father went on a northern expedition, the elite troops followed him, while the soldiers stationed in the capital were mostly old and weak. ]

[In order to protect the safety of the capital, on August 4, you immediately sent a letter to Ningyang Marquis Chen Mao and Yangwu Marquis Xue Lu, who were on the expedition, and ordered them to lead the elite cavalry that originally followed the emperor to return to the capital for 3,000 miles. This is an inevitable measure to enrich the army in the capital and stabilize the internal situation. ]

[On the 5th, you ordered the imperial concubine Mu Xin to take charge of the Nanjing rear army governor's office, and ordered the eunuch Wang Guitong to lead the lower-level official army to Nanjing to guard it.All the affairs in the palace. Finally, the former Minister of Revenue Xia Yuanji was summoned to "co-discuss the ceremony". It was not until the Crown Prince Zhu Zhanji received his father's body that the funeral was publicly held. 】

[As you expected, the second and third brothers were unwilling to accept the truth, but at this moment, the overall situation was determined and they could only accept the result! 】

Sure enough, the eldest brother is always the eldest brother!

Although the brothers Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gao0.4sui are good at fighting, if it comes to politics, the two of them together will not be the opponent of the eldest brother Zhu Gaochi!

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed immediately.

Now Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu are studying in Yingtianfu!

Zhu Yuanzhang still likes his grandson Zhu Gaochi very much. The only bad thing is that he is too fat! From a distance, it looks like a big meatball rolling towards you! As for Zhu Gaoxu, he was a little bully. It would have been fine if he didn't study hard, but he caused a lot of trouble. He was beaten and scolded, but he never changed his ways, which gave him a lot of headaches!

[On August 15, the 22nd year of Yongle, you officially ascended the throne, issued a general amnesty, and designated the following year as the first year of Hongxi. ]

[Appoint Duke Ying Zhang Fu to take charge of the Central Army Commandery, Marquis Yangwu Xue Lu to take charge of the Left Army Commandery, and Marquis Anyuan Liu Sheng to take charge of the Right Army Commandery. Immediately restore the position of the former Minister of Revenue Xia Yuanji. 】

【At the beginning of your reign, you used important cabinet ministers such as Jian Yi, Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, and Jin Youzi, saying, "The military and national affairs are important, and you must work together to assist me. If there are any shortcomings in government affairs, or if the ministers say it and I don't follow it, or if you say it and I don't follow it, use this seal to report it secretly... If the monarch and the ministers are sincere to each other, there will be no shortcomings in the government and the people will not lose their jobs. I and you will not let down the trust of our ancestors."】

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but nod his head repeatedly!

To put it bluntly, Zhu Gaochi was further winning over the hearts of the people and pulling all these important ministers to his united front!

【Through your words, everyone clearly realized that your ideal Ming court should be "no shortcomings in the government and the people will not lose their jobs". Facts have proved that you are also implementing your policy of governing the country according to this goal. 】.
