On the first night after ascending the throne, Zhu Gaoxu lived in the Ganqing Palace.This is the place where the Emperor of Ming Dynasty lived.
Sure enough, I didn’t sleep well again, and I felt uneasy all night!Maybe it's because I haven't gotten used to it yet.His mood is very complicated, both novelty and excitement, and uneasy and insecurity.
After all, it is a place where the emperor can sleep, and this biggie alone can make Zhu Gaoxu excited. There are still tens of thousands of women in the harem for him to choose from. Although he can't take care of it, he still feels very happy to have so many.
However, the sleep comfort of the Ganqing Palace is indeed a bit poor.When building, you should only consider the specifications of the emperor and the status of the solemnity, and you should not give people a relaxed feeling at all.
The prince's bedroom in the Han Palace is also very large, but it is far from comparable to here; and the surrounding area of the Ganqing Palace is bare, and there are people on duty at any time inside and outside.
This place is like the office space where palace maids and eunuchs go to work, without the feeling of a bedroom.
And Zhu Gaoxu always feels that something is not safe!When you think about it carefully, there is no question about where there is a problem.
From the perspective of architectural layout, it is obvious that Emperor Taizu was very concerned about the emperor's safety when supervising the design.
The two major buildings in the Ganqing Palace and Kunning Palace on the central axis of the imperial city are located in an area like a large courtyard; on all sides are the highest walls in the palace city, with several gates in the walls, and there are no entrances and exits, such as small doors, side doors, etc.
As long as you use trustworthy people to guard the closed area located in the center of the harem and the Kunning Palace of the Ganqing Palace, no one who is irrelevant can enter.
Of course, Zhu Gaoxu re-deployed his manpower. In addition to the eunuch Cao Fu brought from the Han Palace, he activated Wang Jinghong and Hou Xian to be responsible for the Sili Supervision (the Sili Supervision established by Emperor Taizong did not criticize the winner at this time and was not involved in politics. His main function was to take charge of the personnel affairs of the eunuchs in the palace).
Hou Xian and others were ordered to select palace maids and eunuchs to be responsible for the on-duty of the Qing Dynasty.
But this still cannot eliminate the vague worry in Zhu Gaoxu’s heart!
He asked himself that he was not a suspicious person. On the contrary, Zhu Gaoxu, who had been a gambler, was very adventurous.
But when he went to bed on the first day of ascending the throne, he became a little suspicious. Are all the emperors like this?
He also suddenly understood why he never spent the night with others except staying overnight with his mother.
Last night, Zhu Gaoxu didn't even feel like he was lucky enough to be a strange woman. Cao Fu asked quietly, but Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and refused.
When he woke up in the morning, surrounded by eunuchs and palace maids, Zhu Gaoxu was working as an imperial chariot and went out of the Ganqing Gate step by step to deal with political affairs at the Imperial Gate (Fengtian Gate).
As soon as he ascended the throne, Zhu Gaoxu did not intend to rush to do anything big; he had to slow down... The current period is very sensitive, from the capital to the local government, countless eyes are staring at the new emperor how to rule!
Zhu Gaoxu hopes that everyone will be at ease first and don’t think he will not give people a good life!
Especially many civil servants, in an era where there is no big external threat to the country, they most want to see an emperor who does nothing but loves to repair cars.
In this way, no one has to worry or be overwhelmed.
However, Zhu Gaoxu was not negligent in his duties, and went to the Imperial Gate to handle memorials and discuss state affairs the next day.His performance in the past two days should seem like a very regular emperor.
When he arrived at the Imperial Gate, Zhu Gaoxu sat on the throne.
Officials, eunuchs, civil officials Hou Hai and Pei Youzhen all arrived, and everyone gave great gifts.
After the etiquette, Zhu Gaoxu did not discuss the matter and looked through the memorials sent out and prepared to review them.
At present, almost all the civil and military officials in the capital have been ordered, and the central institutions have almost been included in the new monarch system.
The edict of ascension to the throne was also copied by the officials and notified the officials of the provincial prefectures and prefectures in the form of a mansion, and the officials of the Ming Dynasty were notified in the form of a mansion.
As long as local officials express congratulations, or if they are unhappy with Zhu Gaoxu, they are forced to surrender and write memorials to call the emperor, they are considered to have become subjects of the Wude Dynasty by the imperial edict.
If it is clear that he does not obey the imperial edict, it means that he does not recognize the legitimacy of the Wude Dynasty, which is of course considered a blatant rebellion; what awaits them must be the force of the imperial government army to suppress the rebellion!
Zhu Gaoxu quickly felt bored when he reviewed the memorial.
Because today's memorials are almost all congratulatory statements, similar flattery; it looks very pleasant at first, after all, people like to be held, but if you read a hundred similar things, you will feel very bored...
At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly discovered something that was not a congratulatory statement.
Du Erlang, who was temporarily in charge of the Jinyiwei North Fufu Department, submitted a memorial, and ordered the prison military officer to sue Yao Fang and enter the imperial prison to kill the criminal Pu Qiao without killing him!Because Du Erlang was not Yao Fang's boss and had no right to deal with Yao Fang, he submitted a petition to the emperor.
After seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu became angry.He regards Yao Fang as his own, and this guy broke the law on the day he ascended the throne!So quickly became arrogant?
Summon Yao Fang to ask!Zhu Gaoxu said in a bad tone.
The eunuch on duty immediately announced the orders and heard them out loud.
Zhu Gaoxu looked back at the officials who were writing and painting on the left and right of the hall and asked: Who do you know who Puqia is?
Hu Yi stood up, walked around and walked out of the desk, came to the throne, bowed and said, "I am the Minister of Rites, Hu Yi, invited the emperor to report to the emperor, Puqia is the chief monk in the 32nd year of Hongwu.
Thirty-two years of Hongwu?It was during the Jianwen period.
Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while, and suddenly remembered Pu Qiao!
At the beginning of Yongle, Emperor Taizong wanted to investigate the whereabouts of Jianwen and his son, so he asked Zhu Gaoxu to do this.
At that time, Zhu Gaoxu had not only met Ma Enhui, but also met Pu Qia.
What is Puqia’s relationship with Yao Guangxiao? Yao Guangxiao has asked for an order to release this person more than once.
Zhu Gaoxu thought of the hatred between Yao Fang and Yao Guangxiao again, and immediately guessed a rough idea.
I know.Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand.
He glanced at Hu Yi again and thought to himself: After all, Jinshi is a Jinshi, so it is important!
When the emperor spoke verbally, he was very careful about the reign title; after all, the reign title of Jianwen and renamed Hongwu was completely removed from the Yongle period, and Zhu Gaoxu did not say that he would reverse the case for Jianwen.
I sue for my retreat.Hu Yi held the etiquette.
After waiting for a long time, Yao Fang kowtowed outside Fengtian Gate and asked for the imperial edict, then walked into the imperial gate and knocked again under the throne.
Zhu Gaoxu looked at Yao Fang first and found that his eyes seemed a little red and swollen, as if he had cried.
Because of the reason why Zhu Gaoxu's anger has also disappeared a lot.Zhu Gaoxu's angry tone at this time is mostly just acting. You are so brave!
Yao Fang said: The emperor should calm down and do not influence the dragon body by his humble minister.I knowingly committing it, but knowing that I have violated the law, so I ask the Lord to sue you!
Zhu Gaoxu pointed at Yao Fang angrily and cursed: Do you still know that it is illegal, Ah?I think you have made merits, and I want to reward you based on merits and wait for discussion with the ministers to give you a title.You are fine, for personal grudges, you ignore your future!
I know you have a deep hatred, but that is just a personal hatred.The state has national laws. As a general of the Jinyiwei, you can enter the imperial prison with your position and kill the prison without any reason. This is illegal!Even if Pu Qiao is punished for his serious crime, it is not that you, a general of the Jinyiwei, can lynch his lynching!
Although Zhu Gaoxu scolded him fiercely and had a bad tone, he kept saying that Yao Fang was guilty of breaking the law.
But there was an explanation for the content of the scolding... When it comes to Yao Fang's achievements in awarding titles and family feuds, he also directly convicted Pu Qiao of death!
Of course there is another reason. Yao Fang's sister was the wife of Zhu Gaoxu when he was the King of Han; and this matter cannot be taken out and said on the Imperial Sect, relying on relationships is not a reason.
Yao Fang kowtowed and said: I know you are wrong, please punish the emperor!The humble minister deserves his crime, but he has known the consequences before he breaks the law, and has no complaints.The gentle minister does not need to be awarded titles, nor does he intend to be in the future of his official position, he is obsessed with personal grudges and grudges, and he is cultivated by the emperor. I am sorry to the emperor!
Have you become aloof?Zhu Gaoxu said angrily, "Come here, drag me to the gate of the imperial prison, and have a stick of fifty feet!"Demoted to the General Banner of the Fusi District, Jinyiwei North Town.
Yao Fang said: I will accept the crime, thank you!
After Zhu Gaoxu said that, he turned to look at Cao Fu who was standing next to him. Cao Fu was smart. While receiving the order, he saw that Zhu Gaoxu had something to say and bowed forward a few steps.
Be more at ease with your subordinates.Zhu Gaoxu whispered.
Cao Fu shouted: I will receive the order!
Zhu Gaoxu asked Yao Fang again: Do you still dare to offend?
Yao Fang said: I didn’t dare to do it because I was anxious to attack you.Never make any more of it.
Zhu Gaoxu said: If there is a next time, I will never let you go!
Of course, he couldn't bear to use Yao Fang to kill the chicken to warn the monkey!He had just sat on the throne and was a little uneasy. How could he kill his own people easily?
Zhu Gaoxu judged that people had their own ideas, which was whether they had malicious intentions.He sat on the throne, and this is even more so!
What he was most unhappy were those who hid in the dark and had malicious intentions... no matter whether it was good for them or not, as long as it could harm Zhu Gaoxu's interests and bad things, they would feel comfortable!
After all, there were too many affairs in such a huge Ming Dynasty, and the emperor could not control it alone, so he could only let his ministers do it.If there are too many malicious people in the ministers, will things be done well?
This may also be one of the reasons why the emperor had to refuse three times and let everyone support him?
People like Yao Fang didn't give him face yesterday, which made Zhu Gaoxu very angry at first; but soon Zhu Gaoxu felt that he was not arrogant because of his favor, and his heart was still good and he was sincere in admitting his mistakes, which was understandable.
... Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly understood where his anxiety and hidden worries came from!
Who is the real murderer of the late emperor?
The death of the late emperor has been decided on the table. As long as he is a minister who is obeyed, there is no reason to publicly question the conclusion.
But Zhu Gaoxu felt that it was not done by Gao Chi and the officials of the East Palace!
There must be someone else.
Zhu Gaoxu knew exactly what kind of person the former emperor Zhu Di was and how careful he was. The murderer was able to poison Zhu Di in the palace, and it was so hidden that it was creepy!
Zhu Gaoxu thought to himself: If you don’t catch this person, you won’t even know who he is. If I accidentally offend him one day, will I be poisoned?
Sure enough, I didn’t sleep well again, and I felt uneasy all night!Maybe it's because I haven't gotten used to it yet.His mood is very complicated, both novelty and excitement, and uneasy and insecurity.
After all, it is a place where the emperor can sleep, and this biggie alone can make Zhu Gaoxu excited. There are still tens of thousands of women in the harem for him to choose from. Although he can't take care of it, he still feels very happy to have so many.
