Ming Dynasty: Regrets about the Jingnan Rebellion? I changed it in a dream!

Chapter 126: The Yongle Emperor executed the Sun family. Every time a relative died, the status of the extraordinary woman rose by one level.

Zhu Di lowered his head and glanced at Zhu Zhanji.

He passed by him, came in front of Zhu Gaochi, and patted Zhu Gaochi on the shoulder.

Let out a long sigh.

He smiled and said, "Good boy, you're just a little bit unwell, promise me."

"Even if I die, you can't eat too much and take care of yourself, okay?"

After hearing this, Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment.

She immediately looked at Zhu Di with tears in her eyes.

The sincere concern directly touched Zhu Gaochi's heart.

But he didn't want to cry so easily, so he smiled with a slightly choked voice and said, "The son follows his father's teachings."

Zhu Di suddenly thought that Zhu Gaochi seemed to advocate moving south to Yingtianfu.

Then he reminded him again: "Also, you can't move the capital to Yingtian Prefecture. It took me more than ten years to build Shuntian Prefecture."

"You haven't lived here for long, and you're already moving back. I can't save my face."

"If this is written in history books, I will probably be accused of wasting money and manpower."

Zhu Gaochi was a little hesitant.

In fact, moving the capital to Shuntian was not his original intention, but the result of the advice of Xia Yuanji and others.

The main reason is that Shuntian Prefecture is too close to the north.

It is easy for something like the Tumu Incident to happen again, and for the sake of national security, we have to do this as a last resort.

"father……"

Zhu Di interrupted him without waiting for him to speak.

"I will talk to Xia Yuanji and others. It probably won't take long."

"Your grandfather and your uncle will be gathering in this tavern. I will ask for their opinions."

"If neither of them agrees, I will consider it again..."

"If it really doesn't work, then give Beiping to the second brother. The renovated palace can't be left uninhabited."

Zhu Di squinted his eyes and glanced at Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Gaochi was somewhat helpless, as Zhu Di was still so stubborn.

This is nothing more than a disguised threat.

If you do not support moving the capital to Shuntian, then give the renovated Shuntian Prefecture to Zhu Gaoxu. If you don't want to live an easy life, then don't live there.

There is no need to wait until the Battle of Tumu. Starting from the Yongle Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty also practiced the dual emperor system.

"My son understands."

Zhu Gaoxu still did not seem very happy at this time.

Zhu Gaosui also saw this scene.

After finishing speaking, Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhanji who was lying on the ground, and spoke directly to Yao Guangxiao.

"Alas, I really believed that man's lies. Good saintly grandson, the Ming Dynasty will prosper for three generations."

"Who knows, my good grandson, the Ming Dynasty has only prospered for three generations."

"Old monk, should I push his grave?"

Yao Guangxiao said with a smile.

“If you know the future, then change it. Otherwise, if you know it but don’t change it, isn’t it a waste of knowledge?”

Zhu Di smiled.

In the past, he liked Zhu Zhanji, the good saintly grandson.

Now, he likes Zhu Gaochi, a good prince + a good daughter-in-law. Zhu Gaochi influenced the Yongle and Hongxi dynasties, and Zhang influenced the Xuande and Zhengtong dynasties.

And they are all positive impacts.

On the other hand, the good saintly grandsons, Zhu Zhanji + Sun Ruowei, influenced the Xuande and Zhengtong dynasties. Zhu Zhanji's positive and negative influences were half and half, while Sun Ruowei's were all negative.

"You didn't learn your father's abilities, and the person you like didn't learn your mother's abilities."

"If a child is not taught well, it is the fault of the father; if the father dies early, it is the fault of the mother."

"Zhanji, do you admit Zhu Qizhen's crime?"

Zhu Zhanji nodded quickly.

"Grandson recognizes it."

"I can give you two choices. First, you kill Sun Ruowei with your own hands. Second, I will sentence her to death."

"We cannot allow a woman to affect the fate of our Ming Dynasty."

When Zhu Zhanji heard that Zhu Di wanted to kill Sun Ruowei, his heart trembled.

He still likes his childhood sweetheart very much.

"Grandpa, I..."

Looking at Zhu Zhanji's expression, Zhu Di knew that he wanted to plead for him.

Therefore, Zhu Di said directly: "Since you can't do it, then I, as your grandfather, will do it."

"I'll make the decision for you, Third Brother."

Zhu Gaosui hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Dad."

"The evil woman Sun Ruowei, who bewitched the Crown Prince, is sentenced to death."

"You supervise it yourself."

When Zhu Zhanji heard the oral decree of death, he looked up and was about to plead for mercy.

But he was shocked by Zhu Di's cold eyes and was speechless.

I had no choice but to accept this result silently.

Zhu Gaochi, who was standing beside him, watched this scene but did not plead for mercy.

In fact, neither he nor the Crown Princess liked this future daughter-in-law very much.

She is so detached and doesn't behave like a lady from a good family at all.

But who made Zhu Zhanji like him? Relying on Zhu Di's favor, Zhu Zhanji has always been the boss at home.

The couple had to coax him.

Naturally, no one said much. Who knew that Sun Ruowei was not suitable at all.

It is no exaggeration to say that it has brought disaster to the country and the people.

Empress Ma, Empress Xu and Empress Zhang, three generations of virtuous empresses.

This is an old tradition.

Naturally, it cannot end here with Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Gaosui bowed and said, "Yes, father. I will do it later."

Zhu Di nodded.

"Well, Shanxiang did a good job. He dared to advise the emperor."

"It's also my fault. I doted on this kid too much and deposed the queen because of my own preferences."

During the time when Zhu Gaoxu led his troops to fight, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi were not idle either.

Reading all the official records about the Yongle Dynasty after the 16th year.

Among them, of course, I saw the story about Hu Shanxiang.

In the fifteenth year of Yongle, that is, last year, Hu Shanxiang was canonized as the Crown Prince's wife. He and Zhu Gaochi carefully selected this girl, so her character was naturally very good.

Official records also prove that they made the right choice in choosing Hu Shanxiang.

Who would have known that Zhu Zhanji would actually depose the empress because of his personal preferences...If Hu Shanxiang were still alive, the Tumu Incident might not have happened in the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, this can be seen from the incident involving Hu Shanxiang.

Zhu Zhanji seemed to have a tendency to neglect his duties.

This also made Zhu Di extremely dissatisfied.

"Boy, cultivate your relationship with Hu Shanxiang."

"Nothing else, just leave."

Zhu Zhanji's expression was very complicated and he slowly retreated.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu noticed Zhu Zhanji's mood change and spoke.

"Dad, this kid won't hate you, will he?"

Sentencing Sun Ruowei to death might indeed make Zhu Zhanji hate him.

Hearing this, Zhu Di said helplessly.

"If you hate me, the grandfather who doted on him for twenty years, because of this little thing, then I..."

At this moment, Zhu Di seemed to be choked by something.

I feel very complicated. I wonder if Zhu Zhanji really hates me because of this incident.

What should I do? Change the crown prince? But I don't know much about the other crown princes.

If I want to train the Crown Prince again, I am too old.

I really don't have the energy or the mind to do that.

Forget it, this matter should be left to Zhu Gaochi to worry about.

……

Not long after.

As soon as Zhu Gaochi returned to the palace, he saw the Crown Princess sitting in the yard.

As soon as he stepped into the East Palace, he heard the Crown Princess's complaining voice.

"Where did you die?"

However, Zhu Gaochi was not impatient this time. He smiled and said, "Who made you angry again?"

"I'll teach him a lesson."

The Crown Princess said unhappily.

"My Lord, can you please be more careful?"

"Just now, Xia Yuanji and his gang came to me and said that they couldn't find the old man or you."

"The entire court is in chaos."

"You too, are the regent, but no longer in your position. If the old man knew about this."

"Our whole family must be exiled to Yunnan to cut trees."

Zhu Gaochi looked at the Crown Princess with a smile.

In her eyes, Zhu Gaochi was still the prince who was not liked by Zhu Di and could only make up for his shortcomings with hard work.

Little did he know that because of the dream, Zhu Gaochi was no longer the despised prince.

He smiled and said, "Okay, calm down."

"Don't worry, I am following the old man to do something important. This matter concerns the safety of our family."

After hearing this, the Crown Princess calmed down a little.

"Big deal? What big deal?"

"You should know that the old man has been out of the palace frequently these days."

The Crown Princess nodded.

"I know. At that time, the old man said he would take you out to play and let the second son govern the country."

"Do you know what we're doing?"

Looking at Zhu Gaochi who was pretending to be mysterious, the Crown Princess became a little impatient.

"Can you please tell me soon? You're keeping me in suspense."

Zhu Gaochi looked at the daughter-in-law in front of him. Who could have known that this petty and impatient daughter-in-law would become the backbone of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

Seeing this, he spoke frankly.

"There is a restaurant in Yingtian Prefecture that can create dreams that are incredibly real."

"Later, the old man discovered that the dream created by this tavern was actually the real world."

"It is still the future of our Ming Dynasty..."

The Crown Princess listened quietly to Zhu Gaochi's explanation.

It explains how she became the queen, the empress dowager, and the grand empress dowager step by step.

He was in charge of government affairs, interfered in politics but did not act as regent, and his influence lasted for two Ming dynasties.

She has the style of Empress Taizu and Empress Taizong.

"You mean, I will become a queen mother in the future?"

Zhu Gaochi nodded.

"Yes, the old man is very satisfied with what you have done."

"Look, I have specially issued an edict that from now on, all matters concerning the harem will be managed by the Crown Princess."

Although secretly, the Crown Princess has been in charge of many things in the harem.

But now Zhu Di has given the Crown Princess the legitimate right to manage the country.

It is unique in history for a daughter-in-law to manage the emperor's harem.

However, what Zhu Gaochi didn't expect was.

It seemed that there was no joy on the Crown Princess's face.

"What's wrong? Are you not happy about becoming the Empress Dowager in the future?"

The Crown Princess remained silent.

He even stared at Zhu Gaochi with some seriousness.

This scene surprised Zhu Gaochi a little.

"Your look scares me a little."

Then, the Crown Princess said, "My Lord, from now on, I will strictly control your diet and beauty!"

"Also, no matter how busy you are, you must give me some exercise!"

"When it's cold, put on more clothes; when it's hot, take off more clothes..."

"I'll be watching you myself."

The Crown Princess directly assigned Zhu Gaochi an extremely strict health plan on the spot.

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi suddenly felt as if the sky was falling.

As he was speaking, Zhu Gaochi suddenly felt the sadness mixed in with the Crown Princess' words.

At this moment, he seemed to understand something.
