Zhu Gaoxu was at the Imperial Gate a few days ago. After lunch today, he went to the East Warehouse of the Qing Palace.
To enter the East Warehouse, you have to pass through a famous slanting corridor.
It is located in the Ganqing Gate and belongs to the living area of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. Ordinary civil and military officials of the foreign court must not come in; anyone who has visited the slanting corridor must have been close ministers of the emperor who hold important positions. Such people can not only meet the emperor, but also talk to the emperor on such informal occasions.
So when a literati talks about the slanting corridor in front of a friend, it will have a layer of halo.
Zhu Gaoxu also knew that the slanting corridor was very famous, but when he walked here, he saw only an ordinary corridor.
It was like he went to visit Leifeng Pagoda in later generations, and he really saw it and felt that it was nothing more than a lie.
This palace has been built for decades. The reddish-brown wood on the slanting corridor is a bit old, and the bricks and stones on the ground are also marked by arcs.Fortunately, the construction materials are very good and the cleaning is very clean.
The floor is untainted, giving people a good impression of neatness; the surrounding wood columns are obviously carefully wiped every day, and at this time it is faintly shining in the sun, with a very good texture.
Zhu Gaoxu walked into the Dongnuan Pavilion, and the large number of eunuchs and palace maids around him stopped.
Only the eunuch Hou Xian and others entered.
They walked past a partition, and a large chair, an imperial case, and several bookshelfs and other furniture appeared in front of them.
Before Zhu Gaoxu, four Ming Dynasty emperors had sat on that chair.Zhu Gaoxu walked to the chair and did not sit down. He looked at a map behind him.
Hou Xian quietly observed Zhu Gaoxu, stepped forward and bowed and said: Emperor, I have been neglected. Why don’t I take this picture and change it to another beautiful screen?
Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said: I don’t like this map (just looking at the terrain on the south bank of the Yangtze River, I know it was the map used to "repress the rebellion"), but let it hang it here first.Looking back, I drew another 'world map', asking officials who are good at this, to improve it, and then hang it here.
Slave obeys the order.Hou Xian paused and said, "The picture is now painted by Guo Zi."When the late emperor was in power, he wanted to move the capital to Peiping, and the drawings for building the palace were also written by Guo Zi.
After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu looked at it for a moment and said to the truth: The pen is good.
He then walked to the shelves and flipped through the books and files placed on them.
At this moment, since Zhu Gaoxu discovered the handwriting of Emperor Taizu here!
His movements immediately accelerated a lot. Looking through the things written by Taizu, most of them were about how to govern the Mongolian region and how to lay out the national defense in the north. There were memorials from ministers and imperial criticisms written by Taizu himself.
Not only did the national defense concept of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, but also the national policy planning of Emperor Taizong.
The thing is probably put here.
Zhu Gaoxu heard that Gao Chi always repaired cars wildly in the late period of his reign, and he was even a failed emperor; but Gao Chi was obviously not a fool, and he also had ideas about the country's major policies.
Zhu Gaoxu felt like he had a treasure!Although he had some ideas, it is best to have continuity of a dynasty's grand national policy; understanding the strategies of previous emperors will be of great benefit to future governance of the country.
These things must be preserved well!I'll see it anytime.Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and said.
Hou Xian bowed and said: Yes, the emperor.
At this time, someone entered the East Warehouse again. Two eunuchs holding stacks of memorials and Cao Fu also walked in with Xue Yan's secret scrolls.
They bowed to Zhu Gaoxu and then piled up everything on the imperial desk.
Zhu Gaoxu looked around in the East Nuan Pavilion and finally sat down on the chair where the four Ming emperors had sat. Now he is the fifth.
He also wants to repair cars like his elder brother, but his life is important. He should be steady and wait until he finds out the hidden black hand!
Zhu Gaoxu sat on the chair, facing a large number of memorials and files, he looked thoughtful and did not touch the things on the imperial desk.
After a long silence, Zhu Gaoxu finally raised his head and said in a simple tone: Issue an order, and ask Ru Yi and Zhang Sheng to meet.Then he ordered Hou Hai to arrange manpower and ordered Gao Xianning to arrive in Beijing at eight hundred miles.He ordered Jian Yi, the Minister of Personnel, to be appointed as the Minister of Justice.He issued an order to Ru Wei, appointing Zhang Sheng as the commander of the Jinyiwei and Du Erlang as the Northern Governor; Chen Dachui as the commander of the left guard of the Yulin, and Wang Yu as the commander of the right guard of the Yulin.
The eunuch Hou showed a look of surprise, maybe because Zhu Gaoxu was too casual in doing such a big thing; but Zhu Gaoxu often fought wars and did not involve so much decisions, and he just did it!
Hou Xian bowed and said carefully: Emperor, it is impossible for me to issue oral orders to appoint the Secretary of the Shang Dynasty and the Guards to command the army.You must have the imperial edict written by the emperor or the officials of the Hanlin Academy who write the imperial edict and seal.
Serve with pen and ink.Zhu Gaoxu said.
Zhu Gaoxu wrote the imperial edict and Hou Xian sued his retreat.Zhu Gaoxu continued to ponder Xue Yan's secret scroll while waiting for the person he wanted to meet.
Xue Yan could not continue to investigate the death of the late emperor, so he had to free up the position of the Dali Temple Minister to Zhu Gaoxu's confidants; however, from the Dali Temple Minister to the Minister of Justice, he was promoted, and the six Ministers had great power and had more affairs in charge.
Xue Yan's current verified things and the fact that the late emperor died in the Eastern Palace have no effect on the legitimacy of Zhu Gaoxu's throne.
But Zhu Gaoxu felt that the real culprit of the assassination of the late emperor should have nothing to do with the prince and the officials of the Eastern Palace, so the truth cannot be shown to others casually.
After waiting for a long time, Ru Wei, who was on the Qianbu Gallery, first arrived at the slanting corridor of Ganqing Palace.Zhu Gaoxu asked him to come in and speak.
Ru Wei is a literati, but she is very burly, with a big face and thick pores on her face. She is probably in her fifties.Ru Wei seemed very nervous when she was approaching for a big gift.
Zhu Gaoxu then remembered that more than one person impeached him in the past two days: in the "Prevention of Crime", Ru Yi often gave advice for the pseudo-emperor, and was a confidant.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't look at the specific content carefully. Anyway, he knew that Ru Wei worked very hard in Hongxi's pseudo-degree dynasty.
Give a seat to a flat body.Zhu Gaoxu said calmly.
Ru Wei hurriedly said: I thank you for your kindness.
Zhu Gaoxu said: Rubutang is standing like this, and I have to raise my head when I speak, and my neck is so tired.
Ru Yi: ...
Zhu Gaoxu waited for him to sit down on a stool, but he didn't say much nonsense and said directly: I didn't read much about the memorial to impeach Rubu Hall. I have already thrown it into the palace as waste paper. Don't worry about those matters.
Ru Wei's face suddenly turned a little red.
Zhu Gaoxu continued: I remember that when I was a vassal king and had not yet gone to Yunnan to become a vassal, I went to Rubutang Mansion and had a conversation. You should remember that incident.I think Rubutang has a broad vision, and you are quite knowledgeable about Timur's discussion of the power that had gradually penetrated into the Western Regions at that time.
Ru Ying clenched her fist and said: The emperor praised her, but I dare not take it.
Zhu Gaoxu asked: I am talking to you today. I want to ask, is Rubutang familiar with the affairs of North Korea?
Ru Ying said modestly: I have some knowledge.
After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu asked again: What's going on with Master Huaian?
Ru Wei pondered for a while, then suddenly bowed: The founding monarch of the Lee family in Korea is Li Chenggui; the great Lord Huai'an is Li Chenggui's fourth son, named Li Fanggan (the father of the virtuous man who was mentioned by Park).
Zhu Gaoxu was curious about what Park's political purpose was; at the same time, he also wanted to understand the situation in North Korea at this time, so he thought of asking Ru Yi.
Ru Ying said: Li Fanggan’s original title was Duke Huaian.In the 33rd year of Hongwu (the second year of Jianwen), the fifth son of King Li Fangyuan and Li Chenggui of the current Korean kings, after the second coup in the Korean king, became the king of the Korean king; and also stripped Li Fanggan of his title, changed his title to the Maharaja of Wai'an, and exiled Li Fanggan to raise horses on Jeju Island.
When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he suddenly guessed Park's political intentions.
The Park family and Li Fanggan lineage should be a political alliance and belong to the failed party in the power struggle.
The women of the Park family came to the Ming Dynasty and wanted to seek foreign aid when their political group was defeated, had no chance of turning over, and could be uprooted at any time!
Even Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty had done these routines.The two Urianha tribes who pretended to be Tatars recently were foreign players from the Yàn Mansion during the Jingnan Campaign?
Zhu Gaoxu said: Did Li Fangyuan launch two coups?This is really a capable man.
Ru Wei nodded and said: What the emperor said is extremely true.In fact, when the Li family launched a coup for the first time and replaced the former Goryeo King Wang family, Li Fangyuan also made the greatest contribution; so far, he has planned three successful coups, which can be said to be skillful in the methods.
Zhu Gaoxu asked: What is Li Fangyuan's attitude towards our Ming Dynasty?What is Rubutang’s opinion, but it doesn’t matter.
Ru Ying said: I think that the most wanted place in Silla, Goryeo and Korea in history was the Liaodong region; before the King of Goryeo lost his throne, he was still mobilizing troops to occupy the territory of Liaodong by force.
After Li took power, in order to consolidate the royal power, Li sent envoys to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, with great etiquette.
It’s not that the Li family did not want Liaodong, but that the Li family was wiser than the Wang family of the previous generation. They realized the strength of the Ming Dynasty and now they have no chance to occupy Liaodong, so they have adjusted the national policy that they have shown to Daming.
In the beginning of Yongle, after Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the monarch and ministers of the North Korean state was better; because when Li Fangyuan was sent to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, he had privately met Emperor Taizong in the palace of Prince Yàn on the palace of Peking.Now the kings and ministers of the two countries are treating each other and are fully repaired.
Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Ru Yi with an admiring look and nodded: I roughly understand.
...After Ru Wei retired, Zhang Sheng, the new commander of the Jinyiwei, met with him.
Zhu Gaoxu handed over all Xue Yan's secret scripts to Zhang Sheng and told him to keep them confidentially. After Zhang Sheng carefully read the secret scripts, he ordered Gao Xianning to go to Beijing to become the Minister of Dali Temple and handed over the secret scripts to Gao Xianning to assist Gao Xianning in secret investigation of the death of the late emperor.
To enter the East Warehouse, you have to pass through a famous slanting corridor.
