Chapter 864: Zhu Yuanzhang, Who Is About To Abdicate The Throne And Prepares To Enthrone The Emperor
Yan Changqing glanced at Song Lian who accepted the order with a smile, and then at the other civil and military officials and noble marquis who looked normal, with a faint smile on his face.
As for the fundamental role that the Ming Dynasty Daily can play, no civil and military officials can see it now.
In other words, even a few civil and military officials who could be seen did not dare to say anything unreasonable under Zhu Yuanzhang's intimidation.
Therefore, in the eyes of the vast majority of civil and military officials, Daming Daily was just an official newspaper of the imperial court affiliated with the Ministry of Rites.
Di newspapers like this existed in the Ming Dynasty, but they were not as large, formal and standardized as the current Daming Daily.
In fact, if Yan Changqing had not explained it to Zhu Yuanzhang and the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di, etc., they would not have known that just ten unexplained reports could play such an important role.
At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Yan Changqing why he didn't clear up the Daming Daily earlier. In response, Yan Changqing rolled his eyes and said:
"Even if the Ming Dynasty Daily was sorted out a few years ago, the Ming Dynasty Daily would not have the huge role it is now said to have."
"Because if the Ming Dynasty Daily wants to play such a huge role, the prerequisite is that the people of the Ming Dynasty must be literate and be able to read the Ming Dynasty Daily!"
“If the people of Ming Dynasty are illiterate and cannot read the Ming Dynasty Daily, then if they want to understand the Ming Dynasty Daily, they will have to turn to literate writers. Book of Human.
"In this way, it is just transferring the power of interpretation of the emperor and the court's policies and edicts from the middle and lower-level officials to the literary students."
"This is not fundamentally different from the original middle- and lower-level officials who had the power to interpret the policies and edicts of the emperor and the court."
"Book of Human scholars who have the power to interpret the policies and edicts of the emperor and the court can also arbitrarily misinterpret the policies and edicts of the emperor and the court according to their own preferences and needs. Ordinary civilians still have no way to verify the authenticity. ability."
"Only the vast majority of ordinary people can read and understand the Ming Dynasty Daily."
"In this way, the policies and edicts issued by the emperor and the imperial court can reach the ears of the common people accurately and without being misinterpreted by officials and writers at the middle and lower levels."
"And this was something that people a few years ago would never have been able to do."
"Only after passing the "First Five-Year Compulsory Education of the Ming Dynasty" can the vast majority of people in the Ming Dynasty be able to read 300 core Chinese characters and 2,000 important Chinese characters, and have the foundation to understand and understand the Ming Dynasty Daily. ”
"Only then will the Ming Dynasty Daily be able to play the various roles just mentioned."
After listening to Yan Changqing's rebuttal and explanation970, Zhu Yuanzhang just nodded, indicating that he understood, and then in his heart he valued Daming Daily again by three points.
At the same time, we are prepared to convey the significance of what the Ming Dynasty Daily represents and the great role that the Ming Dynasty Daily can play.
In addition, the policies and edicts of the emperor and the court written in the Ming Dynasty Daily must be written in Dabai dialect that is easy for the people to understand.
All of them were written in the "Inheritance of Dragon Slaying Techniques of the Emperor of Heaven" compiled by him for future generations of emperors of the Zhu family to inherit and learn from.
Although he has been educated many times by Yan Changqing, he also knows that if he encounters a rebellious and mediocre descendant, then no matter how many strategies he writes in "The Legend of the Great Tomorrow's Dragon Slayer", it will be of no use.
However, his strong desire for control still made Zhu Yuanzhang want to try his best to arrange everything he could think of for future generations.
Moreover, although his actions were of little use to the rebellious and mediocre descendants, it was of great use to those who were obedient and hard-working.
Although if you want to become an emperor at the level of an eternal emperor, you have to look at your talent.
But the general Wise Monarch and Wise Monarch can still be achieved through learning.
As for the "Inheritance of the Dragon-Slaying Techniques of the Emperor of Heaven" compiled by him, only the successor of the Emperor of Heaven can truly understand and understand it.
Not to mention how great a Wise Monarch or Wise Monarch becomes, but there is still no problem in becoming an ordinary Monarch of Perfection.
To put it bluntly, although "The Legend of the Great Tomorrow's Dragon Slayer" cannot increase the upper limit of the successor of the Great Tomorrow, it can increase the lower limit of the successor of the Great Tomorrow.
This alone is enough for Lao Zhumai to work tirelessly to compile his "Inheritance of Dragon Slaying Techniques of the Emperor of Heaven".
After Song Lian took over [Daming Daily], Zhu Yuanzhang spoke again:
"Also, next spring will be the spring of the 22nd year of Hongwu."
"The Ministry of Rites is ready to canonize Zhu Xiongying as the grandson of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Ji as the prince of the Jin Dynasty, Zhu Gaochi as the prince of the Yan Dynasty, Zhu Youdun as the prince of the Zhou Dynasty, Zhu Shangbing as the prince of the Qin Dynasty, and Zhu Mengfu as the prince of the Chu prince. Zhu Xian is the Crown Prince of Qi!"
After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement, all the civil and military officials were surprised, but they had no objections.
After all, Zhu Xiongying, the eldest grandson of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, is already fifteen years old this year, and will be sixteen years old next year. At this age, he is equivalent to an adult in the Ming Dynasty.
Let alone being canonized as the grandson of the emperor, to be disrespectful, even if he were to ascend the throne directly, he would not be called a young man.
Zhu Jixi is one year younger than Zhu Xiongying, and he is already fourteen years old this year.
Zhu Gaochi is four years younger than Zhu Xiongying, and he is already ten years old this year.
Zhu Youdou is five years younger than Zhu Xiongying, and is already ten years old this year.
That is to say, Zhu Shangbing, Zhu Mengxu and Zhu Xianting are younger, one is nine years old, one is eight years old, and the other is five years old.
However, it is enough to be canonized as Crown Prince at such an age.
In fact, if not for these years, Ming Dynasty has made various major moves at home and abroad, one after another.
From the emperor, the princes of the vassals, to all the civil and military officials, noble marquises, they were too busy to stop, and they neglected to confer the titles of Zhu Xiongying, Zhu Jixi, Zhu Gaochi and others.
Otherwise, Zhu Xiongying, Zhu Jixi, Zhu Gaochi and others should have been canonized a few years ago.
But it’s not too late to be canonized now.
So Song Lian, on behalf of the Ministry of Rites, agreed.
At the same time, I was also thinking about how to arrange the canonization of the grandson of the Ming Emperor and the princes of the princes.
Although Zhu Jixi, Zhu Gaochi and others were said to be princes, by the time Jin King Zhu Fan, Yan King Zhu Di and other vassal princes established a large vassal state in other overseas continents and North Asia, it was even comparable to the huge empire of Ming Dynasty today. after.
Zhu Jixi, Zhu Gaochi and others will most likely become the masters of an empire like Zhu Xiongying!
In other words, although Zhu Jixi, Zhu Gaochi and others are nominally the princes of various princes, in fact they are also the princes and grandsons of other future continental empires, and their status is not necessarily much lower than that of Zhu Xiongying!
Therefore, how Zhu Xiongying, Zhu Jixi, Zhu Gaochi and other princes and princes should be canonized in order to comply with etiquette and law is worthy of careful consideration by the Ministry of Rites.
Yan Changqing on the other side, hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, couldn't help but think of Zhu Xianting, who had just become his disciple this year and became one of his students, and couldn't help but twitch recently.
He seriously suspected that the old Zhu family regarded him as the director of the kindergarten, starting with Zhu Xiongying and ending with Zhu Xianting.
As soon as the eldest sons of the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and others reached the age of five, they immediately brought them to him and asked them to worship him as their teacher.
The key is that he can't refuse. After all, he can't accept the legitimate sons of Prince Zhu Biao, King Zhu Fan of Jin, and King Zhu Di of Yan. He must be the legitimate son of several people.
Yan Changqing doesn't want to do this kind of thing that makes people hate him if it's not necessary.
And if nothing unexpected happens, these three generations of the Ming Dynasty will be the masters of the empires of the Ming Dynasty and other overseas continents in the future.
If the education and training of these three generations of Ming Dynasty were not good, the other overseas empires of Ming Dynasty might collapse due to the stupidity of their successors.
This is also intolerable to Yan Changqing, who has been working hard to create a world-wide Chinese and Han culture circle.
So after Yan Changqing let out a long sigh, he could only accept his status as having a lot of children following him.
But even though he accepted it, Yan Changqing still felt overwhelmed by the matter of raising children.
Because he found that not every child is as precocious and mature as Zhu Xiongying, as well-behaved and obedient as Zhu Jixi, and as dignified and calm as Zhu Gaochi.
Especially Zhu Shangbing, Zhu Mengxu, and Zhu Xianting, who are five, eight, and nine years old, are at an age where they are so energetic that people find them disgusting.
Jumping up and down every day, I can climb trees to pick fruits and go to houses to lift tiles several times a day!
If it weren't for the slightly older Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Jixi who helped carry him, the minister would have worried about losing a lot of his hair.
After Song Lian took over the canonization of the emperor's grandson and princes, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly dropped another bombshell news:
"In addition, the spring of the year after tomorrow is the spring of the 23rd year of Hongwu."
"The Ministry of Rites is preparing for my abdication as Emperor Taishang and for Prince Zhu Biao to officially ascend the throne!"
As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military officials and noble marquises in the court were shocked.
Not to mention the civil and military officials and noble marquises, even the ten princes including Crown Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, and Zhu Di all looked calm.
The fact that his father was about to abdicate was not mentioned at all in the closed-door meeting between the old Zhu family and his son!
Prince Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned around and bowed:
"Father, the Emperor was at his peak in the Spring and Autumn Period, how could he abdicate now?!!"
"My son's moral character is shallow and he is unable to bear the heavy responsibility of the world. I ask my father to take back his life!"
Looking at Zhu Biao who declined, Zhu Yuanzhang glared and said angrily:
"Shut up!"
"We say you can do it, you can do it!"
If other princes want to succeed to the throne and become the emperor, then Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely not give up the throne so simply. He will definitely sit on the throne of the emperor until he dies of old age or illness.
However, Zhu Biao is still the most special and different to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Similarly, Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor who ascended to the supreme position as a beggar and a refugee, was ultimately different from the emperors of previous dynasties.
He is not only a high-ranking emperor, but also an old folk father with very traditional and simple thoughts.
No matter how much family property he saves, in his opinion, these properties will always be handed over to his son.
As long as his son grows to a certain age, or his son's abilities meet his requirements, then he will pass all his family property to his son without hesitation!
And now Prince Zhu Biao has met his requirements in terms of age and ability, and even far exceeded his ability requirements for the next emperor of the Ming Dynasty!
In addition, the story of "Yongle Emperor Zhu Di" that Yan Changqing told a long time ago has always been a knot in his heart.
Although he didn't know how long he could live, he was really afraid that one day the white-haired man would give the black-haired man a favor and get rid of Zhu Biao first.
Thinking about the story of "Yongle Emperor Zhu Di", the prince Zhu Biao died young and never served as emperor for a day, and in the end he could only be granted the title posthumously.
Zhu Yuanzhang decided that he must let his eldest son Zhu Biao ascend the throne in advance while he was still alive.
Be a good emperor!
It's not nice to say this. Even if you die one day, you will die with the dignity of the emperor.
This is also the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang chose to abdicate as Emperor Taishang and let Prince Zhu Biao officially ascend the throne at a later date.
Looking at Zhu Biao who was still about to say something, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly softened his face and said:
"We are already sixty this year. In the past few years, I have been feeling dizzy and my energy is not as good as before. I have to go to the latrine several times to eat a meal."
"Can you bear to let a sixty-year-old man like us continue to deal with state affairs day and night until the end of the year?"
"And your mother, she has always told me that she wants to go to various places in the world and see them."
"Let's see if all the people under the Ming Dynasty live and work in peace and contentment."
"But we never have time to go with her, so I can only let her stay with me in this palace all day long."
"And your brothers, in two years they will all go out to sea and establish kingdoms in other continents. It is hard to say whether you brothers will be able to see each other again in the rest of your lives.
"Don't you want the second, third, and fourth brothers to congratulate you when you ascend the throne?!!"
Faced with the three emotional cards played by Zhu Yuanzhang, the crown prince Zhu Biao could only smile helplessly and stop talking.
What else could he say?!!
Continue to let his 60-year-old father handle state affairs every day until the hour of Hai?!!
Or continue to let his mother be trapped in the palace all day, and can't go out for a walk?!!
Or when he ascends the throne, there will be no brothers around, and he can only look at each other from afar?!!
So after Zhu Yuanzhang played these emotional cards, Zhu Biao couldn't refuse even if he wanted to.
Otherwise he would really be unfilial and unkind.
The following All the civil and military officials, upon hearing the words between Zhu Yuanzhang and the crown prince Zhu Biao, all lowered their heads and dared not speak.
After all, this involved the replacement of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. If you speak carelessly at this time, you might want to play the Nine Clans Candy Crush.
But even so, all the civil and military officials, nobles and marquises were in turmoil and could not calm down.
After all, since ancient times, except for those who were usurped and the rubbish like Dasong who chose to abdicate in order to escape for fear of becoming the king of a fallen country.
The other emperors, whether they were wise and capable or stupid and tyrannical, basically sat on the throne until they died of old age or illness.
And their majesty was able to choose to abdicate to the crown prince when he was in his prime and could live for another ten or eight years. This is enough to be called a once-in-a-lifetime event.
He sighed a little in his heart Afterwards, all the civil and military officials and noble marquises could not help but imagine the beautiful scene of working under the new emperor.
After all, the crown prince Zhu Biao was kind and benevolent. Working under the crown prince Zhu Biao was better than working under Zhu Yuanzhang, the scoundrel?!!
As for whether the transfer of power between Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao would cause unrest among these civil and military officials and noble marquises, they were not worried about that.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang took the initiative to give up the throne, not Zhu Biao usurped the throne.
Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao used the same team, so these civil and military officials and noble marquises did not have to worry that after the crown prince Zhu Biao came to power, he would demote them and promote his own people in order to control the power.
Because these civil and military officials and noble marquises were also the crown prince Zhu Biao's people!
So for the crown prince Zhu Biao's ascension to the throne, all the civil and military officials were very worried. The officials, nobles and marquises were shocked at first, but they had no resistance. "They even hoped that the crown prince Zhu Biao would ascend the throne as soon as possible. After all, working under Zhu Yuanzhang for a day means worrying about the nine clans. It would be better to have less days like this. Seeing Zhu Biao did not refuse, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said happily: "Then it's settled!" "Ministry of Rites, prepare well for the enthronement of the crown prince and the princes next spring, and the enthronement of the crown prince Zhu Biao the spring after next!" "The other five ministries, which are involved in the enthronement of the crown prince and the princes, and the enthronement of the crown prince Zhu Biao, must cooperate with them!" All the civil and military officials, nobles and marquises bowed and said: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
