Chapter 63 The End of an Era(2/2)

Each army and battalion picked cherry blossoms, raised plain banners, and mourned the emperor.

As we see, the entire Ming army camp was covered with white space.

Most of the soldiers in the army cried until they fainted and could not do so.

For three consecutive days, the Ming army was filled with endless grief.

Three days later, Wang Xiao issued an order, and the army pulled out the camp and guarded Zhu Di's coffin to return to the pass.

Zhu Di's decree said that he devoted himself to the country, which was telling his lifelong contributions.

To say that there is no regret in your life means that you have never regretted launching the Jingnan Campaign.

It is natural for the prince to ascend the throne. After all, the King of Han is dead, and King Zhao cannot pose a threat at all.

The purpose of letting Wang Xiao supervise the country is to determine the identity of Wang Xiao’s heir from a legal perspective.

You should know that Zhu Gaochi has ten sons. If Zhu Gaochi passes the throne to other sons, Zhu Di can be so angry that he will be alive underground.

All armies and battalions were under the control of Wang Xiao. This was Zhu Di who handed over the military power of all the elite soldiers in the country to Wang Xiao.

This is also an insurance policy to ensure that Wang Xiao can successfully take over the position in the future.

The state supervises the power of military power.

With these two insurances in it, even if Zhu Gaochi had other ideas, he would not be able to move Wang Xiao's status. At worst, Wang Xiao could also come to the last Jingnan Campaign.

Zhu Di was the emperor and was suspicious by nature.

Even if Zhu Gaochi values ​​Wang Xiao in his performance, he will definitely be the one who is in the future. Zhu Di will not believe it with peace of mind.

So, he made these arrangements.

As for Zhu Gaoxu's burial of Changling, it was Zhu Di's reputation after his distressed second son died.

To be honest and reasonable, Zhu Di is a good emperor.

He made many Northern Expeditions, defeating the remnants of the Northern Yuan outside the Great Wall and completely clearing the threat from the grassland to the pass.

He sent Ma Bao to the West to contact overseas countries and Shi Guowei overseas.

He compiled the Yongle Ceremony and left a rare and ancient book for China.

He built canals, cleared fields, cared for the people, eliminated the power of the vassal kings and relieved internal troubles.

The country was prosperous under his rule and had a strong national strength, which was called the Yongle Prosperity.

If there is any stain, launching the Jingnan Campaign may be the only stain.

The uncle robbed his nephew's throne and killed too much. He even killed ten clans.

Regardless of his merits and demerits, everything disappeared at the moment when Zhu Di took his last breath.

In the 22nd year of Yongle, Zhu Di died of illness on his fifth northern expedition to Mongolia at the age of 64.

The temple name is Taizong, and the posthumous title is "Ti Tian Hong Dao Gaoming Guangyun Shengwu Divine Arts Chunren Zhizhi Emperor Xiaowen". He was buried in Changling.
