.The mansions of the princes and princes are everywhere in West Chang'an Street, among which the most regulated one is not Yan Ge's hometown, nor Xu Ge's hometown, or Lu Taibao's house, but the two princes' mansions, Prince Yu's mansion and Prince Jing's mansion.
King Yu and King Jing were also the only two sons of Emperor Jiajing. Because Emperor Jiajing's throne was chosen, he was very eager to have a son, but because of his weak bones, he never made a son. For this reason, he took a lot of immortal pills and practiced the cave Xuanzi, and prayed to God. Later, with the help of Shao Yuanjie, the Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain, he had his first son Zhu Zaiji in August of the 13th year of Jiajing.
What is Zaiji? The meaning of carrying the country's foundation is that no one can afford it except the prince. It can be seen that Jiajing cherishes the eldest son of the emperor because he has no emperor's life. It is only two months before he can get a day off.
Emperor Jiajing fell into great grief and asked the heaven how to protect his successor... With the lessons of Mr. Zhengde, he believed that his feelings were strong and real.
At this time, Tao Zhongwen, the successor of Shao Yuanjie, one of the two great masters of the Jiajing Dynasty, proposed a notorious prophecy. The two dragons did not meet each other. The emperor was the emperor's true dragon and the prince was the hidden dragon. Although the potential was that, Yi Wan wanted to take over the real dragon squad. Therefore, it would be better not to meet the emperor and the prince's natural conflict. Otherwise, either the real dragon defeated the hidden dragon or the hidden dragon defeated the real dragon. Anyway, there was always one who would be overlord.
The extremely smart Emperor Jiajing became superstitious but was more than the ignorant village woman. He was afraid when he heard Tao Zhenren, who had always been very accurate in fortune-telling, so two years later he had three sons, Zhu Zaihe and Zhu Zaili. Zhu Zaihua was happy and remembered the prophecy that the two dragons did not meet. He decided that he would not see this kind and miserable baby and would not beg for the prince. Although it was a bit cold, his life and his son were still important.
The ministers did not know the emperor's difficulties and only knew that the fundamental national policy was the establishment of a crown prince, especially the Emperor Daojun, who loves to practice and take various immortal pills for a long time. Starting from Qin Shihuang, immortality enthusiasts among the emperors of all generations used the middle-dao collapse and proved that the risk of this hobby was high.
Therefore, the ministers and ministers all had the same position on this matter, and they wrote a letter to Jiajing to establish a crown prince as soon as possible and flew to the imperial study room like a snowflake. Even the wide platform could not be as strong as a living room.
To be honest, Jiajing was still a little skeptical about the fact that he didn't meet with the second dragon at the beginning. Although he would rather believe that he had not trusted him, he began to have some abnormal taboos on the issue of the prince, but he was still deeply pleased that he could have a prince to stand up. After all, his cousin Zhengde left the throne to himself because he had no son.
So after a dispute, he finally named the second prince Zhu Zaihe as the crown prince and went to the cabinet to give lectures at the age of fourteen. The crown prince's marriage is actually the coming-of-age ceremony of the crown prince. The children of ordinary people's families also have a set of rituals. What's more, the royal family that stands out for the world's etiquette?
So Lei Jing presided over the grand ceremony of his eldest son's marriage, and he could not avoid meeting his long-lost son. He also said a few words of encouragement such as studying hard and improving every day. Then the prince Zhu Zai fell ill and died not long after...
Afterwards, Emperor Jiajing remembered Tao Zhongwen's words again and again, and wrote a note to Tao Zhongwen, "Will you be so convinced?" Since then, he didn't ask the people and asked the ghosts and gods, and finally he was completely superstitious... He had already died, and his two sons were left with two." This made Jiajing dare not do any risky things, whether for his son or for himself, in short, he would take as much as possible measures as possible to avoid meeting and contact with the two princes, and would not let one of them be the crown prince. Emperor Jiajing, who had already been divine, would not allow a one-stop to appear.
As a result, the innocent King Yu and King Jing were treated with long-term indifference, just like their father is not their father and grandmother, they are not their biological grandmother... No one cares about life, no one cares about school, and even Jiajing doesn't care about such major events as marriage. It can be delayed for a day until he relies on his two sons as older young people and fails to get married, it will delay the third generation of heirs. Then the Ministry of Rites will give them a small family in Beijing.
You should know that at their age, even those who think they are late marriage have become the fathers of three sons. Not only that, the two sons want to see me are more difficult than Zhu Lin wants to arrest Emperor Jianwen even if they meet him, he rarely speaks as if he is afraid that his sons will ask him to borrow money.
In comparison, the situation of killing the king is better because his mother, Concubine Jing, Empress Lu, is very favored and speaks in front of the emperor. The wind blows on the pillow and the wind blows King Jing's mansion, his studies and marriage are still a hundred times better than His Highness Yu, who is neglected by his mother.
Fortunately and unfortunate, King Yu Zhu Zaili lived a miserable, depressed, depressed, and struggling life over the years. He married a little landlord's daughter and had no shared language. From the outside, his residence in West Chang'an Street looked tall and magnificent, strict and noble and gorgeous, and the children of the Tian family did not embarrass his father at all.
But what if you go in and take a look? You will be shocked and can't speak out. In addition to the spacious and bright houses of Pidian, you can't even speak. There are more than 100 rooms, which are low and simple. The doors and windows of many rooms are even made of ordinary people's wood and painted with black paint to create a solemn feeling.
Walking inside is also a stuttering thing. The decoration inside is extremely simple... or in other words, the shabby furniture tables and chairs are all made of jujube wood. If it is not a large number of potted plants and bright yellow veil that only the prince can use, it will really make people think that this is a mistaken entry into the homes of ordinary people.
To put it bluntly, even ordinary wealthy families are much more luxurious than this one.
But this is indeed the only palace of the eldest son of the Emperor, the first heir to the throne of the Emperor Yu, Zhu Zaili.
In fact, it was not so cold before. The mansion that King Yu left the palace and opened the palace, Jiajing gave him was the mansion of his grandfather, Emperor Xingxian, who had not yet settled in the vassal state. Although it was disrepaired, it was brilliant from the inside out, and it always made people feel the wealth of the royal family.
Unfortunately, a few years ago, a fire burned Prince Yu's mansion to nothing and was waiting to be rebuilt, and the country's economic tension was in a state. The Ministry of Revenue could not afford the silver and allocated him 50,000 taels of silver to repair the Prince's mansion.
What needs to be built is that the prince's mansion has extremely high specifications. The Ministry of Works said that this amount of money cannot be used. The Ministry of Revenue said that there is no more money, and the two sides argued that the work had not started for a long time.
It was still waiting for His Highness Yu, who was newly resided, to ask someone to pass a message to the officials of the two departments that they would use this money to repair the door and then build the hall. The rest of the hall can be discussed when they have money in the future.
The two ministers of the Book of Documents said, "I have been waiting for you for this sentence!" and then they built Prince Yu's Mansion into the current appearance of the ghost.
At first, King Yu was still waiting with peace of mind. Later, he heard that the court had made a lot of money in Kaiping, Jiangnan, so he asked someone to go to the Ministry of Revenue to see if he could not allocate the next phase of the project funds. However, the Ministry of Revenue replied that the hole the imperial court had owed in the past ten years was too big, and the little income of the Municipal Department of Revenue was not enough to pay off the debt and had no money to do anything else.
As a result, after a few years, the royal palace still looks so ugly that he realized that he was too stupid and naive compared to those old men who were proficient in thick black. If he had known that the court could not afford to lose its dignity, he would not have agreed to repair the outer skin first. At that time, he should have insisted that he either had broken walls or restored to its original state. Now he must have lived in the brand new and regular prince's mansion.
Now that his appearance is so glamorous, he has explained to outsiders, so he is not in a hurry. His Highness Yu had to be happy to be in this narrow palace where he was rebellious. I don’t know when the year is the same... The ancients said that "appearance is born from the heart" His Highness Yu, who lives in unsatisfactory years, looks much older than his actual age. In fact, he is as sad as Chen Jusisui, but his face is sad and thin, so he seemed to be over thirty years old.
Originally, his health was not very good. Tianzhe, the second son, gave him a heavy blow. Since Liu Zhi was ill a few months ago. After a period of recuperation, he was able to get out of bed, but his head turned a little white, and he was a little hunched. He was slow and slow like an old man.
At this moment, His Highness Yu was facing the wall with a picture of "Sad Autumn Picture" drawn by the Song people, quietly chanting in his mouth, "The wind is strong, the sky is high, the apes roar, the clear sand and white birds fly back. The endless fallen trees are rustling down and the Yangtze River is rolling..." This is the first and second half of Du Fu's "Climbing High" is "The second half of "The Sorrow of Autumn": "The Sorrow of Autumn is always a guest for hundreds of years and has been on stage alone. Hardships and bitterness are full of frost and frost, and the new turbid wine glass is stopped." Although Yu did not chant it, the desolate and depressed mood was undoubtedly revealed.
This made the middle-aged official who was accompanying him frowned. The man was 40 or 50 years old and had a burly figure with a stunning face. There was a deep Sichuan-shaped eyebrows. The corners of his mouth were thin and drooping, making him look lonely and arrogant. He looked at it and was so awe-inspiring that he didn't dare to get close to him.
Who is this? Gao Gong, the minister of Taichang Temple in the Ming Dynasty, was the chief of the Imperial College. This person was different from the mainstream southern scholars in the court. He was a man with big arms and round waists in Yanzhao. His grandfather Gao Kui was a juren in Chenghua and was appointed as a doctor in the Ministry of Works. His father, Gao Shangxian and Zhengde, served as a Jinshi in the 12th year of Shandong Censorship, and served as a scholar-in-law. He was appointed as a scholar-in-law in Guanglu Temple, and was appointed as a scholar-in-law family and a family of officials.
In such a family, Gao Gong was strictly educated. "At the age of five, he was good at the same time, recited a thousand words at the age of eight," and hung his head at the age of seventeen. He was given the title of "Li Jing Kui in the village, but after he was in the imperial examination, he ran away for thirteen years before he passed the imperial examination. In the 21st year, Jiajing was appointed as the Hanlin editor and was promoted to the Hanlin attendant. In the 31st year, King Yu opened his residence and received the ceremony, Gao Gong was elected as the lecturer and entered the palace to enter the lecture. At that time, the crown prince had died for two years, but the new crown prince had not established King Yu and King Jing lived in the capital. The preface was to establish King Yu, but Jiajing seemed to be eyeing King Jing. King Yu's future was not yet speculated and discussed.
Under such turmoil, His Highness Yu, who was already weak, was afraid to die several times a day and even thought of becoming a monk for peace. Fortunately, Gao Gong appeared. He won the trust of King Yu with his strong personality charm. He supported him from the palace and greatly comforted him. He became his backbone and pillar.
Gao Gong worked in the palace of Prince Yu for nine years. During these nine years, he taught the lectures and practiced the teachings and practiced with caution, which greatly benefited King Yu. Although Gao Gong was promoted to Taichang Temple at the beginning of the year, he no longer served as a lecturer in the palace, the two had established a deep and unbreakable relationship between the royal minister and the teacher-student.
Even after Gao Gong left the palace, he would have asked the eunuchs to go and ask about the trust in him. He had reached the point of dependence or even attachment. This time, when King Yu said something happened, he rushed over and did not avoid suspicion, and heard the sad voice of the Your Highness.
As His Highness’s teacher, Gao Gong, was obliged to relieve his worries and doubts, and cleared his throat and said, "Your Highness, you have a lot of youth in the early spring and autumn. Even if you encounter some hardships at the moment, you cannot be too sad. Sooner or later, your hope will not be shattered."
The teachers and students have been together for ten years and have learned about each other. Yu Wang naturally understands the master's subtext and said softly, "I can have a child, but once my brother takes the position, I will definitely take me quickly..."
Gao Gong shook his head and said, "Didn't you say you want to make King Jing the crown prince?"
"Maybe it's my cup of bow and snake shadow..." King Yu turned around and said, "But the fourth brother gave birth to a prince, that's my father's only snatch."
"Your Highness is afraid that King Jing will be noble because of his son?" Gao Gong understood King Yu's concern and shook his head and rejected, "Since ancient times, when choosing a crown prince, he always established a crown prince. Now there is no legitimate son. As the eldest son of the emperor, you are the chief prince, and the civil and military officials of the court will swear to protect you to the death!"
Swear to protect me to the death?" King Yu smiled bitterly and pointed at the palace of the Han Gate and said, "Do you think this is the bedroom of a crown prince? My father is not allowed to build a palace for me. The Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works are not blamed for me for negligence on me!" Looking at King Yu in front of him, Gao Gong was speechless. Everyone knew that he was the crown prince for granted. However, Jiajing's indifference to him and his stubbornness in establishing a crown prince led to speculations among the court and the opposition. Does the emperor mean to establish King Jing as the crown prince?
If this kind of worry was completely unfair before the Jiajing period, it would be ridiculous. Because in that era, the court was full of swearing to maintain the ancestral system to the death, the dead "hard elements" of the Taoist throne would defend the crown prince Yu regardless of personal safety, no one could shake it unless the prince was resurrected.
But now it is 40 years of Jiajing. After twenty years of great ceremony, Emperor Jiajing has replaced those who are frank and arrogant and bold in admonition, who have been raising scholars for 150 years, today's hard bones have been crushed and ashes have been replaced by those who are gentle and charming, Yan Song.
The way is what the superiors want to be the subordinates. Under the changes in the taste of Emperor Jiajing, there are many ministers who adhere to principles in this court. However, most of them are unsuccessful small officials, and their real power is mostly controlled by some villains with the word "profit". They are all considering who should support who should stand on whose side and sway for whom. Supporting King Yu will naturally not be despised, but some people are used to speculation and want to follow King Jing in this battle for the crown prince.
The reason is very simple. People die for money and birds die for food. Obviously, if you follow His Highness Jing, the benefits will definitely be greater than those who follow King Yu. This idea was not strong at first, but as Yan Shifan and King Jing were in close relationships, they started to send a signal to the Yan Party from a close relationship. After a long period of consideration, their father and son seemed to be going to get along with King Jing.
This is almost a inevitable Chu Ze for the Yan family's father and son because they need greater contributions to keep the future emperor always keeping his family's glory and wealth. What's more important is not to be liquidated. At this point, King Yu, who has always been honest, is certainly not as close as King Jing, who is full of bad water, is more in love with them.
King Jing, who was only one ruthless than King Yu, finally became the emperor's dream of competing with his half-brother of the prince!
When King Yu's son, Tianzhejing, was born, everyone thought that the balance of victory had tilted towards the latecomers. At this moment of chasing the rise and fall, King Yu was completely disapproved. In fact, this was the first time Gao Gong stepped into Prince Yu's mansion after he became a lecturer in the palace to give him confidence! He told him not to be crushed by the pressure in his heart before the war started.
So Gao Gong would cheer up anyway, thinking of this, he smiled slightly and said.
"I thought that if a person could make him surrender to His Highness, everything would be fine!"
