Chapter 569: Great Joy
He ordered Li Min to lead his army to take control of the Zhengtong Dynasty, recover the mountains and rivers that were not yet under control, and then returned to the Baofang home base.
Zhu Houzhao came to Zhu Qiyuan and said solemnly: "The Zhengtong Dynasty has now fallen into the hands of our dynasty. In your opinion, who should be sent to take charge of the government?"
If you don't send people to manage the territory you conquered, it means you get nothing. How could Zhu Houzhao do such a loss-making business?
He couldn't trust the ministers of the Zhengtong Dynasty. They were all incompetent. They were experts in forming cliques for personal gain, and in taking bribes. No matter how they could be used, they must be replaced.
After thousands of years of accumulation, the most important thing the Taiwu Dynasty lacked was its reserve of officials.
"Who does daddy want?"
Zhu Qiyuan said.
He knew that since Zhu Houzhao asked the question, he must have thought of the candidate. The reason why he asked him was just to give him some face!
He is not a prince but is better than a prince. He has been in charge of the government for many years and he is also a decent person.
If Zhu Houzhao directly issued the order and spread it without asking any questions, some people might think that their father and son were at odds, which would damage his prestige.
"Du Huaisheng!"
Zhu Qizhen's death was a good death and a worthy death.
Zhu Houzhao was filled with emotions.
Zhu Qiyuan's face was filled with joy and pride, and he smiled and said: "Your daughter-in-law was diagnosed a few days ago. I'm very happy that my son is going to be a father."
"When I was diagnosed with Ximai, I told my mother immediately."
"But how can a tree that has not been polished by wind and frost stand for a hundred years without falling?"
Originally, he had to cut off his children and grandchildren, but now that he has children and grandchildren, he will not lose anything in his life, even if he dies.
Zhu Houzhao's mood was like ripples in the water, he was so happy that he couldn't help but be so beautiful.
After meeting the First Emperor for a while, the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.
Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Zhanji and others also made the same preparations immediately.
Ying Feixue has always been a reclusive person. If you don’t know yet, you need to tell Ying Feixue.
"Dad, is there anything wrong with this?"
"Dad, I have good news for you."
Zhu Qiyuan hesitated slightly.
He is going to be a grandfather too!
Who knows how long he has been waiting for this day!
The deeper one's cultivation is, the more difficult it is for him to give birth to an heir.
Instead of using senior ministers, a junior official like Du Huaisheng was appointed. What did the other ministers think? Will they unite to suppress Du Huaisheng?
Those in a superior position should not only do things based on their own preferences, but also consider the influences from all aspects.
Because the Zhengtong Dynasty was annexed, all the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were full of vigilance and precautions against Zhu Houzhao.
I never thought that if Zhu Qizhen was destroyed and the Zhengtong Dynasty was annexed, a good thing would come true. This was really a double happiness, a joy that fell from heaven.
Zhu Houzhao saw through Zhu Qiyuan's concerns at a glance, and said meaningfully: The wind will destroy the trees that are beautiful in the forest. This is true."
Even when doing things, they began to be cautious and did not give Zhu Houzhao a chance to express himself. No one wanted to become the second Zhu Qizhen.
He would never allow a younger generation to outshine him, Emperor Yongle, who also wanted to save face.
They were all his own people, so Zhu Di didn't bother to beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
"What's wrong?"
Zhu Qiyuan nodded slightly.
Suppressing Zhu Houzhao's arrogance is easier said than done.
Zhu Houzhao's expression changed and he said, "What's the good news?"
Zhu Houzhao chuckled and said, he had his own intention.
Du Huaisheng was definitely a top-notch civil servant, and he had never made any mistakes in his work over the years. However, according to the usual practice, such a major matter as taking charge of a continent would not be Du Huaisheng's turn anyway.
"Okay, I'm going to be a grandpa too, wonderful, wonderful!"
Taking precautions, Zhu Di, who couldn't stand Zhu Houzhao's arrogant attitude, thought of giving Zhu Houzhao some eye drops.
Zhu Qiyuan never heard the difference in Zhu Houzhao's words.
Zhu Qiyuan and his eldest grandson Wugao have been married for many years and have nothing to do. Zhu Houzhao and Ying Feixue often worry about this. They both want to have grandchildren, but unfortunately they have never been able to get their wish.
"If dad is no longer here in the future, he can be your first assistant."
Zhu Qiyuan was slightly startled. Du Huaisheng was naturally no stranger to him. He had long been familiar with the team his father had prepared for him.
Although suddenly mobilizing a large army can easily cause instability, it is better than doing nothing. It is better to be prepared!
It’s better now, you don’t have to worry anymore!
"Du Huaisheng is talented and capable, but he lacks the training and experience. Letting him govern the Zhengtong Dynasty will, firstly, give him the opportunity to grow, and secondly, allow him to establish sufficient merits."
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately became happy and cheered: "Okay, okay, okay"
Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Zhanji, and Zhu Qiyu looked at each other with wry smiles and remained silent.
Zhu Houzhao even forced Zhu Qizhen to death, so how could he blame them?
Just like Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Changluo, they have a lot of heirs, but few of them are successful. How to arrange them when they become adults is even more troublesome.
There is a relationship between them, and they are not unaware of it.
Zhu Qiyuan could not hide his excitement.
"My son asked Dr. Li from the Imperial Hospital to check it out, and it's correct!"
Zhu Houzhao forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and confirmed repeatedly.
It is indeed good news, great news.
It's just that letting Du Huaisheng take charge of the Zhengtong Dynasty was obviously beyond his expectation.
Zhu Houzhao had two brothers and sisters, namely him and Zhu Qinghuang, before he was even a hundred years old, and he was almost 100 years old, but he still had nothing to achieve, and he himself was anxious.
The father intends to pave the way for his son, and he has no reason to resist.
As he spoke, his tone involuntarily became a little more bleak, and he didn't know what he was thinking of.
In the Taichang Dynasty of Zhu Changluo, there were too many heirs, and there were even ridiculous scenes where princes and officials competed for positions.
Zhu Di, Empress Xu, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaosui, Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Qiyu
The core members of the Yongle family gathered together, and Zhu Di was the first to speak:
"That boy Zhu Houzhao's ambition has been revealed. I want to suppress his arrogance. Is there anything you can do?"
Zhu Houzhao asked casually.
"When did it happen, is it confirmed?"
Even if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them.
Like this, he nodded and said: "My son understands."
However, he is really similar to Zhu Houzhao. They are both only sons, and their right to inherit the throne is extremely stable. They don't have to go through too many bloody struggles, and they only need to wait for the throne.
"Have you told your mother?"
After returning to the Hongwu Dynasty, Lao Zhu immediately ordered Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and other generals to prepare for war. Once his face was broken, he would give Zhu Houzhao a head-on blow.
He and Zhu Houzhao basically had the same view. As for heirs, it was enough to have one who could inherit the country. More would be troublesome.
"It's him."
When there is no conflict of interest, we are all members of Lao Zhu's family, and we are all related to each other; but when they turn against each other and no longer recognize each other, who knows whom?
"Zhu Houzhao is not Zhu Jianshen's grandson, but Zhu Youtang's son. Just let them reprimand Zhu Houzhao."
"With your status as father, how dare Zhu Jianshen and Zhu Youtang refuse?"
Zhu Gaoxu was not ashamed to say that he did not know the specific relationship between the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, so he directly gave Zhu Di a bad idea.
Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Gaoxu speechlessly. He couldn't think of anything that the second child could think of, but it was a pity that it didn't work at all.
