Chapter 28 Farewell to Emperor Yongle!
There were two Taizongs in history, both of whom spent their entire lives proving that it was right for them to seize power and become emperor.
One is Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, and the other is Emperor Taizong of Ming, Zhu Di.
Li Shimin only felt a sense of like-mindedness towards the later Emperor Yongle.
"Zhu Di is worthy of being a great leader."
"No expedition to the northern desert, opening up new territories, such a magnificent life is really something to be yearned for."
"No wonder people in later generations admire Emperor Yongle so much. The great Ming Dynasty has not lost the blood of the Han people!"
Li Shimin smiled and looked at his ministers.
"Gentlemen, it is time for future generations to witness the glory of our Tang Dynasty!"
"Li Jing, start reorganizing the military from now on. I want to wipe out the shame of the Weishui Alliance and drive the Turks out of the border of our Tang Dynasty, drive them far away!"
"Also, send a message to the Ministry of Works to gather craftsmen to build a treasure ship. I want the name of my Tang Dynasty to spread far and wide!"
"When people in the future mention the ocean, the first thing they think of is my Tang Dynasty treasure ship!"
Li Shimin issued orders in high spirits.
This emperor, who was extremely talented and ambitious in Chinese history, was determined to compete with the emperor who was later revered by the people as Emperor Yongle.
Let’s fight for it!
……
at the same time.
Western Han Dynasty.
A young emperor named Liu Che.
Zhu Di's words: "This is the Onon River. I am the only one who has reached this place in the past 500 years." really irritated me.
Liu Che stared at this sentence intently and could not help but slam the table and stand up.
"What a great Emperor Yongle, he was able to lead the army in person, and made five northern expeditions, achieving unprecedented achievements. He is truly a hero!"
"What a magnificent Ming Dynasty!"
After seeing that Zhu Di not only personally took to the battlefield, but also led five northern expeditions, completely eliminating the threat from Mobei, and was honored as Emperor Yongle, a look of envy appeared on Liu Che's face.
"My lifelong wish is to make the Han Dynasty a strong country that all the barbarians will submit to!"
"According to Tianmu, although I have expanded my territory, I have never done anything as great as this. If I lead the army in person..."
Thinking of this, Liu Che's mind was filled with the image of Zhu Di standing majestically on the Onon River in the video just now.
Fascinating!
"The Emperor is coming!"
"I have decided. I will personally conquer the Xiongnu! I will expand the territory for my Han Dynasty!"
A strange light flashed in Liu Che's eyes.
However, just after saying this, he noticed the eager look of young Huo Qubing beside him, and a sense of nervousness suddenly emerged in the young Liu Che's heart.
This kid is such a good fighter, you shouldn't leave him a chance to lead the army in person, right?
……
"Why do people in later generations admire the emperor on horseback so much?"
Looking at the densely packed words "Welcome Emperor Yongle", Zhao Kuangyin thought to himself:
"I come from the military, so leading troops in battle is my strong point. Why don't I follow the example of future generations and lead the troops myself to achieve unprecedented achievements?"
Although he said this, Zhao Kuangyin was still a little worried and undecided.
He himself proclaimed himself emperor through a military coup, so he was particularly worried that he would be alone outside, or that other generals would go out to fight and then stage another military coup against him and steal his home.
But the weak image of the Song Dynasty had to be changed.
He didn't want that thousands of years later, when future generations mentioned the Song Dynasty, it would automatically be associated with words like weakness and cowardice!
……
the other side.
The young Zhu Di also looked at himself in the sky with shock.
"Is this the king in this picture?"
"Will this king be so powerful in the future?"
Five expeditions to Mobei.
Fight to the Onon River.
The emperor will die for the country soon.
Just reading these words made Zhu Di feel his blood boiling.
I wish I could lead my troops out right now and fight on the grassland for three days and three nights!
beside.
Xu Miaoyun and many other female members of the palace's household looked at Zhu Di on the sky, unable to take their eyes away for a moment.
There is no other reason. It is because the image of Zhu Di on the sky screen is too majestic and domineering, and his every move is full of imperial temperament.
Fascinating.
Looking at the foolish people around him, Zhu Di instinctively felt a sense of crisis.
broken.
I'm a stand-in!
The black-robed monk Yao Guangxiao looked at the sky with a smile.
As the achievements of Prince of Yan Zhu Di are exposed, his image as an emperor will also be deeply rooted in people's hearts.
It can be predicted that in the future there will certainly be many talented people and people with ulterior motives vying to join King Yan.
Put your hopes on King Yan.
In this case, unless Emperor Hongwu strangled Zhu Di in the cradle with thundering means, there would be changes in the court in the future.
Many things may not be up to Zhu Di himself.
It is not impossible for the king to add Bai.
By then, the path that you practice may not be impossible to realize.
……
Barrage:
——My charming ancestor!
——Five expeditions to guard the frontiers, the conquest of the Wolf's Lair was unprecedented in history, the sun, the moon, the mountains and the rivers are still there, the power of Yongle still exists!
——The only emperor with an English name.
——The most promising son of Emperor Hongwu!
——The sun, moon, mountains and rivers will last forever!
——The scope of the land is far greater than that of the Han and Tang dynasties! The success is magnificent and outstanding! If Emperor Yongle knew that he was evaluated like this, he would probably be able to smile in Jiuquan.
……
Yongle twenty-two years.
Yumuchuan.
In the tent.
Zhu Di, who was lying on the bed with a weak breath and a sick body, looked at the evaluation of himself by future generations on the sky and smiled with satisfaction.
"It is only my descendants in the future who understand me."
He looked at Zhu Zhanji, who was kneeling beside the bed and crying, and stroked his head, smiling and asked, "Why are you crying?"
"To be praised in this way by future generations means that my life has not been lived in vain."
Zhu Zhanji choked up and said, "Grandpa, don't think too much. You are just too tired. Take a good rest first. I will fight this battle for you in the future."
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhanji lovingly and said his last words:
"After I leave, your father will take over the throne. You must remind him to take good care of his body. Grandpa left him some tonic medicine for recuperation. Tell him to take it on time. Remember to be more obedient to your father when you return and don't make him angry."
As he spoke, Zhu Di's eyes became wet with tears: "Your father's health was all caused by grandpa."
"Your father is an honest and kind man. If he can stay in power for a few more years, Dad can rest assured that the people can live a few more days of comfort."
"As for you, when grandpa is gone, you should be more careful on the battlefield, don't rush in so fast, take good care of your body, and try to live to 60 years old like grandpa. Work harder and help grandpa take good care of the Ming Dynasty..."
Zhu Zhanji choked and nodded.
"No matter how great a hero is, he will grow old..."
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhanji and seemed to see himself when he was young.
At the moment before his death, the emperor on horseback played his entire life in his mind like a slide show.
"Such a landscape is really something that makes people nostalgic."
"Dad, your son is here to see you..."
As Zhu Di's last bit of consciousness slowly faded away, Zhu Zhanji's cries were heard in the military camp.
"grandfather!"
……
At the same time, in the real world, a notification popped up on Chen Yu's phone.
[On his deathbed, Emperor Yongle Zhu Di wanted to meet with Emperor Hongwu Zhu Yuanzhang. Would he allow it? ]
"There's this function? Can it be so realistic?"
Chen Yu complained and silently chose "yes".
He had just listened to the blogger talk about Emperor Yongle. He already had great respect for such heroes and naturally would not refuse such a simple favor.
