If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Chapter 266
The royal draft girls, especially this time, are selecting the future grandson concubine and Princess Zheng for the empire with great fanfare. Naturally, the momentum is very huge.

Although Zhu Zhanchun had already appointed Long Nu as his main concubine, this did not prevent Crown Princess Zhang and Empress Xu from arranging another concubine for him.

Xu Miaoyun even said enthusiastically that as long as Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanchen were interested in her, it would be no problem to marry a few more. Anyway, Zheng Fan had the money to support him, so what she wanted was to expand the royal family's branches. have witnessed.

As a result, beautiful ladies from all over the country gathered in the palace. After passing the inspection in various ways, they were presented one by one to the Crown Princess Zhang.

It's not that Xu Miaoyun doesn't care about this matter, but she has just become a god after all. Now that the god's position is not stable, she must stay in her own dojo, and spend most of her time keeping her soul in her golden body to absorb the incense.

Therefore, Xu Miaoyun could not sit in the palace and personally supervise this matter as he had done before his death.

Fortunately, she was very relieved about the Crown Princess Zhang, so she asked Zhang to be responsible for selecting the beautiful girls. She stayed in Ci'en Temple and only took a look at the beautiful girls selected by Zhang.

Although he cannot easily leave his dojo and has to place his soul in the golden body, if he is only in Ci'en Temple, Xu Miaoyun can still perceive everything even if his soul stays in the golden body.

Therefore, the public statement of this talent show is that the selected show girls come to Ci'en Temple to offer incense to the late queen, and at the same time, the late queen can take a look at her future granddaughter-in-law.

In fact, it was indeed Xu Miaoyun, the late empress, who was taking a look at her future granddaughter-in-law.

It's just that it's different from the way she looked when she was alive. When Xu Miaoyun, who has now become a god, sees not only the appearance, figure, temperament and upbringing, she can also see the person's past and past with her divine eyes. All kinds of things in the future, and whether the blessings on the body will pass away.

Of course, Xu Miaoyun's knowledge is still shallow now, and what he can see is very limited, but it is more than enough to judge whether a woman is suitable to become a good match for the royal family.

Being able to pass the court's screening and Zhang's selection, those who are qualified to come to Ci'en Temple to offer incense are naturally the best regardless of their appearance and education. Except for a few people who seem to be unlucky or scheming, most of them are very good. Xu Miaoyun was satisfied.

"It seems that your grandma is very satisfied with these beautiful girls. Do you two like them?" In the curtain behind the main hall of Ci'en Temple, Zhu Di was looking at the beautiful girls in front of him with his two grandsons, and asked them in a low voice. With.

Zhu Zhanji has now gotten over the influence that Sun Ruowei had on him, but there are so many beautiful girls in front of him, but he doesn't like any of them, so he only said to Zhu Di: "Spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums are all competing for beauty. My grandson is already dazzled. I really don't like him." If you know which one to choose, let grandpa make the decision.”

For Zhu Zhanji, since he couldn't choose the one he liked, it didn't matter who he picked. It was better to choose someone who could please Zhu Di and consolidate his position as the emperor's grandson.

He has now seen that Zhu Zhanqi really has no idea about the big position, but this is only if he can secure this position.

Although Zhu Zhanjun had no intention of fighting with him, he would not deliberately give in to him.

And his younger brother has to say that in terms of both civil and martial arts, the talent he is showing now is above that of the emperor's grandson.

If it weren't for the fact that he was the legitimate eldest son, and Zhu Zhanquan had slept for eight years before, he might not have been able to take the position of the emperor's grandson.

This has been fully verified in the past few years after Zhu Zhanjun woke up. Whether it was governing the country or fighting wars, Zhu Zhanjuan performed too well. In just these few years, Zhu Di has no doubts about who will be in the future. The idea of ​​inheriting the throne changed from the original good saint grandson who could prosper for three generations to an ambiguous attitude.

If Zhu Zhanji didn't have any sense of crisis, then he would really live to the end.

After all, even if Zhu Zhanquan had no intention of becoming emperor, what about his descendants?

Zheng Fan is now so powerful that he needs money and troops, and he is also hanging overseas. It is not easy for the court to cross the sea and conquer.

If it were in the past, Zhu Zhanji's first thought would have been the same thing as Emperor Jianwen, which was to cut down the vassal vassal to prevent the tail from being too big and the strong vassal state to threaten the stability of the imperial power.

But now, with the spread of Zhu Zhanquan's suppression of human destiny in the previous ceremony to worship the heaven to increase the destiny of the Ming Dynasty, it can be said that the entire Ming Dynasty has entered a new world.

Although the people may not be able to feel the change, for the court, the impact of this change is very obvious.

Apart from anything else, the fact that Xu Miaoyun came back from the dead and became a god was a huge shock to everyone.

This not only means that these ministers in the court will have a destination after death, but it also means that the saying that there is a god with their heads above their heads is no longer an empty talk, and swearing to God is no longer just a toothache curse, but a true one. They will be struck by thunder and destroyed.

Although Incense Shinto has not been established yet, and the current national destiny of the Ming Dynasty cannot support more Incense Gods, but one will lead to two, and the establishment of Incense Shinto is an irreversible fact.

It is related to the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty. Even if someone wants to object, it is impossible. The words "Incense enshrines the gods, determines the road of heaven and earth, and the national destiny prospers" are clearly written on the luck compass. It has been confirmed that this matter will be carried out. Go down.

It has to be said that the existence of the Qi Luck Compass made the implementation of many policies of the court very efficient, clear and transparent. Any policy that is beneficial to the country will be implemented as soon as possible, and the implementation process will also be carried out through Qi. The compass is displayed.

Someone is procrastinating?Punishment for dereliction of duty!Is there someone who is acting against the will?Dismissal and investigation!Someone is lining their pockets?Make the decision!Someone is acting against the will?The three Yi tribes!

In the face of the real majestic trend, those conspiracy and cunning tricks cannot stop the rolling wheel of history.

If it were before, Zhu Zhanji would not have thought about this.

But as he gradually adapted to his status as the emperor's grandson and began to take over and learn how to govern a country in the future, he also had to start thinking about these things and put himself in the position of the king of a country and the future prince of the country to look at the problem. .

If Zhu Zhanjun doesn't fight, then he will fight!Because only in this way can he truly secure his position as the emperor's grandson, and avoid being dethroned as the emperor's grandson due to poor performance.

However, compared with these thoughts in Zhu Zhanji's heart, Zhu Zhanqi's attitude was always indifferent: "Grandpa, you know that the candidate for my concubine has been decided, and there is no one among these beautiful girls who can let me He is a person who shines in front of his eyes, so he will not harm other girls. However, I have heard that some of the beautiful girls sent from various places were not sent to the palace, but were secretly detained. Those who were swiped down Some of them were kidnapped and have not returned home.

Please also ask Grandpa to order a thorough investigation into this matter, lest anyone ruin my royal reputation. "

After hearing this, Zhu Di suddenly changed his color and immediately ordered the Jin Yiwei to investigate the matter thoroughly.

But just before Zhu Di issued the order, Zhu Zhanquan stopped him and said with a strange expression: "Grandpa, the news I found out is that the commander of the Jin Yiwei, Ji Gang, secretly intercepted Xiu Nu for his own enjoyment.

In the sixth year of Yongle, your grandfather ordered you to select beautiful girls to enrich the harem. At that time, Ji Gang had already secretly intercepted beautiful girls.

Not only that, he also secretly castrated eunuchs for his own use, hoarded weapons and armor at home, and even hid the King of Wu's clothes in the palace to wear himself, making others shout long live him. His crimes were too numerous to describe, and it would be impossible to describe the canonical punishment without being cut into pieces with thousands of swords. "

"Is there any evidence for what you said?" Zhu Di's entire face turned cold, and he looked as if he was about to eat a man without being angry or intimidating.

"My grandson has no real evidence yet, but this matter cannot withstand verification at all. All it takes is grandpa's oral instructions to remove Ji Gang, and my grandson will take people to ransack his home to know whether this is true or not." Zhu Zhan Of course, Chun had no evidence, but he knew that the evidence had always been there, and there was no need for him to bother investigating. He could just go and get it.

Hearing what Zhu Zhanjun said, Zhu Di had a noncommittal expression on his face, but then he ordered the eunuch accompanying him: "Xuan Jigang is here to see you. Don't let the news leak out."

After saying that, after the eunuch took the order and left, Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhanyu and said to him: "Grandpa will give you this opportunity to lead troops to raid Ji Gang's home! If you find what you said, The evidence is that Ji Gang was cut into pieces by a thousand cuts, and the nine clans were implicated. But if the evidence you mentioned is not found, then..."

Zhu Di didn't make it clear in his words, but Zhu Zhanjun knew that if he really didn't find any evidence, then although he wouldn't be miserable, at least he would feel a little aggrieved this time.

But this is not a problem at all for Zhu Zhanqi.

The reason is also very simple, that is, Ji Gang's rebellion has been clearly written in the history books of later generations.

Even though the future of Ming Dynasty has obviously been changed, this has no impact on what has become an established fact, or it has an impact that is enough to change destiny.

--------------

After getting Zhu Di's permission, Zhu Zhanquan didn't waste any time. He directly ordered the Qingyu Guards' cavalry and rushed to Ji Gang's mansion.

"A mere imperial guard commander's house is so solidly built. Who does Ji Gang want to guard against?" He rode to the door of Ji Gang's house. Zhu Zhanqi could see the construction of the house just by looking at it. It is very strong and is basically a dock.

And this is undoubtedly an act that exceeds the regulations. Even if it is the prince's residence...the prince's residence can build city walls, but it does not need to be built like this.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhanyu waved his hand without hesitation, and a group of Qingyu Guards' cavalry started running at the door of Ji Gang's house. Zhu Zhanyu himself rode his horse and rushed to the gate of Jigang's house. When he arrived at the gate, At that time, he directly pulled up the front hooves of the war horse, and then let a pair of horse hooves step on the door of Ji Gang's house.

"Boom!" After a loud noise, the door of Ji Gang's mansion was trampled by iron hoofs.

Then, with the tacit approval of Qingniao, the Qingyu Guards' cavalry rode directly into Ji Gang's house.

The military commanders and city defense officers of the five cities who were summoned by the blue bird were so frightened that they almost wet their pants. The prince led people to raid the Jinyiwei's house. This kind of annual drama is definitely exciting enough, but for the officials involved, this is A little bit fatal.

"Search carefully for me! Don't miss any corner." Zhu Zhanquan rode into Ji Gang's home. While shouting slogans to the soldiers of the Qingyu Guard, he lowered his head and looked at a person who was at a loss but wanted to let go of himself. The butler of Ji's Mansion said harshly and threateningly: "I am following the imperial edict. The bad things that Ji Gang has done have come to light. Even the court ladies dare to secretly do dirty things. How many heads in Ji Gang's house can he chop off?" "

Hearing Zhu Zhanjun's words, Ji Gang's housekeeper was frightened. He knew that everything was over.

Because Zhu Zhanquan arrived so suddenly, all kinds of over-the-top items in Ji Gang's house were not hidden, and Zhu Zhanqun's cavalry quickly made discoveries and gains.

Zhu Zhanquan rode his horse to the backyard of Ji Mansion. A group of women were being guarded by the Qingyu Guards' cavalry. They were the palace maids intercepted by Ji Gang this time.

"See His Highness King Zheng! Please redress our grievances for us!" At this time, one of the women suddenly rushed to Zhu Zhanquan's horse, knelt on the ground and shouted grievances to Zhu Zhanquan loudly.

Zhu Zhanquan had heard many stories about stopping a sedan chair to complain, but this was the first time he saw someone kneeling in front of him to complain.

In particular, Zhu Zhanchun looked at the woman in front of him with a playful look in his eyes. He just noticed that this woman seemed to be protecting other women behind her and was wary of the Qingyu Guards' cavalry. , it wasn’t until she saw herself appearing that she rushed over to complain.

Obviously, this is not a simple woman.

But Zhu Zhanjun didn't care, and just asked the woman: "Who are you? Where are you from? What grievances do you want to redress?"

"The little girl Bai Sutang is the daughter of a hundred households in Fusi, Jinyiweinan Town." This woman was neither humble nor arrogant. Although she was afraid of Zhu Zhanqun who was riding on the horse, she still answered Zhu Zhanqun very clearly. Question: "The little girl was lucky enough to be selected by the court as a show girl, but she was secretly kidnapped by Ji Gang's men and sent to the Ji Mansion. Ji Gang was an ambitious man, and my father had also collected evidence of his various crimes, and asked the prince to do it for the sake of the people of the world. Kill this beast and give justice to the little girl and others!"

After listening to what the woman said, the expression on Zhu Zhanchun's face became very satisfied. He called a cavalryman from the Jade Guard and asked Bai Sutang: "Who is your father? Where is the evidence of Ji Gang's crime collected? "

"My father is Bai Yi, one of the hundred households in Fusi, Nanzhen. If the prince wants evidence of Ji Gang's crime, he only needs to send someone to find my father! The evidence in his hand is enough to convict Ji Gang." Bai Sutang answered Zhu Zhanchun's question , having learned about these things from her father, she was very convinced that the evidence in her father's hands was enough to prove Ji Gang.
