The main building complex of Da Bao En Temple has been completed, I heard that the emperor is going to come here to pay tribute to the first emperor, Huang Shilang and Liu Yujue and others of the Ministry of Industry immediately organized people and horses, and thoroughly cleaned several main halls that have been completely built, and the peripheral construction was temporarily stopped, mainly entering the road cleaning, martial law, and clearing the field.
Subsequently, a large number of attendants rushed from the palace, to these halls again to carry out the deployment, Buddha shrines, incense burners, cloth man, all of them are not checked, and then exit the main hall, wait outside, and then from the Jinling Buddhist temples to convene the Taoist monks gathered in the Great Bao'en Temple, sit in the futon in the glorious treasure temple of the golden wall, there are wooden fish, Zhong Xin, one by one big red robes, the treasure is solemn.
In the end, Zheng He and Yang Xu, the Duke of the Auxiliary State, arrived together, and I don't know what Yang Xu said to the Duke Zheng, the Duke of Zheng nodded, and stood outside the hall, and the Duke of the Auxiliary State Yang Xu entered the main hall alone with a box covered with red silk, and came out after a while, already empty-handed.
And all the windows and doors of this main hall, except for the main entrance, have been nailed down by him, and he has issued an order in public that no one will be allowed to enter this main hall from now on, and violators will be killed The inner attendants and monks waiting outside were awe-inspiring, and they didn't feel strange in their hearts, they didn't know why this sacrifice to the ancestors, such a fair and upright thing, was so secretive, but it was about the Son of Heaven, and naturally no one dared to chew their tongues.
After Zhu Di drove the Dabao Temple, he entered the main hall alone, and the door was immediately closed, and there was no need for a person to accompany him, and the door was left and right, but it was Fuguo Gong and Zheng Gonggong standing there to guard the door.
Why is it so mysterious that even Zheng He is not very clear, the only person who knows is Xia Xun alone, standing at the door, listening to the sound of Sanskrit singing, his heart can't help but sigh with emotion.
The people of the world who are thousands of miles away from the emperor, according to their own likes and dislikes, exaggerated Zhu Di, is either a wise and martial artist, a tyrant who kills and kills, or a mediocre, greedy and lustful pervert, but who can really get a glimpse of the emperor's color, who can really understand him as a person He has a criticizing side, but also a commendable side, he is eloquent and strategic, comparable to the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, and is far ahead of the Tang Dynasty and Song Ancestors.
He sent people to the West seven times, personally led the army to conquer Mobei five times, he dredged the Grand Canal, through the north and south arteries, and played a pivotal role in the promotion of the economy; He conquered the Northeast, Southwest, and Annam; He compiled the Yongle Canon that had no predecessors and no one after him; He established a cabinet and influenced the political system around the world.
When some people only know that they are fond of Zhu Di's brief purge of political opponents when he first ascended the throne, and rack his brains to exaggerate and constantly exaggerate on the topics of killing methods, the scale of killing, women and the academy to satisfy his curiosity, have anyone ever noticed that Zhu Di's five expeditions to Mongolia, seven voyages to the West, dredging the Grand Canal, and building Yanjing have made outstanding military and political achievements in all aspects of the Northeast, Northwest, Annam, and the sea But some people think that these huge projects and military operations, any of which are taken out alone, will be a great burden to any previous dynasty, and may even destroy the country because of this, and so many things are completed in one day, but they have not caused a heavy economic burden to the country, which is a metaphor for his strong ability in economic construction No In the thirtieth year of Hongwu, Shaanxi White Lotus Sect Gao Fuxing and Wang Jingangnu revolted, and more than 100,000 people participated, and sent the founding general Geng Bingwen of Changxing to lead tens of thousands of elite soldiers to suppress it, and fought for a year, and fought for more than ten years, but few people knew about it; However, it only happened in some parts of Shandong, with no more than 10,000 participants, mainly relying on the local army in Shandong to suppress it, and the White Lotus Sect's Tang Sai'er Uprising, which lasted only two months from the incident to its extermination, was written by the Great Book, thus erasing the countless achievements made by Yongle in the past 22 years.
Tang Taizong was luckier than Ming Chengzu, and there were not many Confucian scholars who adhered to the orthodoxy of Chang Chang at that time; The ministers at that time did not have a penchant for scolding the emperor; After the Tang Dynasty, it was not an inferior alien race who ruled the Central Plains for hundreds of years, so that there was an opportunity to constantly tamper with history.
History is unfair to Zhu Di Standing outside the hall, Xia Xun thought about it, and he suddenly felt that this Yongle Emperor, who was forced by public opinion to hide here quietly, silently worship and repent to his biological mother, and confide in his grievances, grief and guilt, was really a little pitiful.
Zhu Di came out, with a body of sandalwood.
When he appeared in the sun, he was still the powerful and domineering emperor, full of the majesty of the Son of Heaven with every glance and gesture.
Maybe he will be weak, sad, and weeping when he kneels in front of his mother's spiritual throne in the temple to burn incense and worship and pray silently, but when he appears in front of others, he can only be the Son of Heaven and the Emperor Yongle.
"Walk with me" Zhu Di looked at Xia Xun and only said lightly.
Xia Xun followed behind, one monarch and one minister left, Zheng He was still standing there, and gently led the palace door.
From today onwards, only the emperor can enter here.
Zhu Di stopped, and Xia Xun also stopped.
After a while, Zhu Di slowly turned around, stared at Xia Xun, and said slowly: "Shihong died of illness, and the war in Annan is now in charge of Mu Sheng and Zhang Fu."
I'm not at ease, what do you think?"
Xia Xun had already heard the folk rumors, and now the emperor specially summoned him to see him, he knew that it was not as simple as just accompanying the emperor to worship his mother, and he had seriously considered this matter, but he didn't expect Zhu Di to go straight to the ground so single-handedly, so he was slightly surprised, he was stunned, and then said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Mu Shengjiu is in southern Xinjiang, familiar with geography, the son of Zhang Fu's famous general, he also experienced wars in the army, these two generals are in the prime of life, the two complement each other, the war in Annam, the emperor does not need to worry." ” Zhu Di laughed, only when Xia Xun also heard the rumors, and the emperor's mind was undecided, the will was not made, and the people had rumors, which was a big taboo for the monarch, so he couldn't help but be afraid.
But I didn't know what Xia Xun said was the truth, Zhang Fu beat Annan, he was really invincible and invincible, and later the people of Annan were most afraid of Zhang Fu, who changed color when he heard his name.
Zhu Di said: "Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, their experience is still small, and the battle of Annam is not just a matter in the army, I am not very relieved to hand it over to them." ” Speaking of which, the meaning is already very clear, those who are ministers should share their worries for the monarch, the emperor is no longer at ease, Xia Xun took the opportunity to receive the order, and Zhu Di must gladly agree.
If it is not good for Mao Sui to recommend himself, Xia Xun can also take advantage of the situation and say: "You can choose another general in the court and go out of the town of Annan", then Zhu Di can also take advantage of the situation to make him handsome.
However, Xia Xun knew Zhu Di's hints, but he still didn't want to follow his wishes.
Whether Xia Xun was fighting in eastern Zhejiang or in eastern Liaodong, in fact, his success depended to a large extent on his political foresight, and his military success had an element of cunning.
When it comes to Annan, Xia Xun doesn't think that he can play better than Zhang Fu, even Mu Sheng, he is far inferior.
This is not that Xia Xun is arrogant and self-defeating, but he can clearly recognize his shortcomings, no one is an all-rounder, he is even more not, fighting is to die, if he is not effective in command, causing too many deaths, even if he still wins in the end, it is he who is glorified, who will pity the people who have lost their sons, husbands, and fathers If he is better able to fight than Zhang Fu, he can be the best, obviously inferior to others, why take credit for himself.
Therefore, Xia Xun hesitated for a moment, but still insisted: "Your Majesty, the minister and the British Duke General Zhang Yu are also knowledgeable, and they also know a little about Zhang Fu, and the minister thinks that Zhang Fu will be able to live up to his holy hopes."
Cheng Guogong died of illness, Zhang Fu temporarily took the post of general of Zhengyi, in order to boost the morale of the army, there must be action, the emperor may wish to take a look, maybe Zhang Fu will soon have good news to return to Tong, in order to prove to the world that he is also a famous general under the emperor's command" Zhu Di was slightly displeased when he heard this, but said that Xia Xun deliberately refused, and after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed the same.
His son had just been born, and it would take at least another year or two to go, so he couldn't afford to leave.
However, as a minister, for the king's worries, this point of consciousness is not yet "Your father-in-law and the White Lotus are not clear, in order to cover up, you killed the court officials without permission, such a felony, I did not do anything, after your son was born, I was exceptionally promoted, and the grace was grand, and now I have entrusted you with a heavy responsibility, but I still have to push back and forth" However, when he thought of the White Lotus Sect, Zhu Di couldn't help but be mistaken: "Could it be that because of this, Yang Xu refused to lead the troops in order to avoid my doubts?"
Thinking of this, Zhu Di couldn't help but feel relieved, and said with a smile: "Wen Xuan, what I mean is to ask you to go to the town, to ask you to go, that is, to use people without suspicion, you don't need to have any worries." ” He turned around, put his hands on his shoulders, and said slowly, "I told you to go, but I actually have my intentions.
Before Shi Hong's departure, I had warned him: Don't raise chaos, don't play with cowards, don't destroy tombs, don't harm crops, don't steal goods, don't plunder people's wives and daughters, don't kill and surrender.
The sinner has vested, that is, he chooses the sage of the descendants of the Chen family to set it up, so that he can support one side, and then return to the teacher.
"Actually, outside of the war, you will handle these things better than Shihong.
However, at that time, you were at a critical juncture in Liaodong, and you couldn't get out.
Actually" When Zhu Di said this, he suddenly groaned again, and seemed to be a little unspeakable, Xia Xun didn't feel a little strange: "The emperor is spitting, does he have anything bad to order?"
Zhu Di hesitated for a moment, seemed to have made up his mind, turned around and looked at Xia Xun again, his eyes were a little burning: "Wenxuan, Annan, since the Qin Dynasty, it has been the hometown of China, and during the Tang Dynasty, it was also under the jurisdiction of the Protectorate of Annan, Zhu Wen destroyed the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains was in chaos, Annan took the opportunity to stand on its own, the Song Dynasty was unable to recover Annan, so he let it stand on its own, and when he entered the Yuan Dynasty, the invincible Mongolian army suffered a series of defeats in Annan, and had to stop at him" Xia Xun was shocked in his heart, and blurted out: "What does the emperor mean" Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "I have received accurate news, the Annan Chen clan has been exterminated, and I have sent troops to Annan to crusade against the Li clan, rise and fall, and fulfill the responsibility of the suzerain."
But the Chen family has been extinct, this Annan forty-eight prefectures, one hundred and eighty counties, more than three million households, at that time, who will rule the death of the Tang Dynasty, Jiaolu fell to the barbarians, so far more than 400 years, until the re-entry of the territory is expected Wenxuan, this work of opening up the territory, don't you want it?"
