Ming Dynasty Strategy Notes [Transmigration Book]

The first day of the first month of the 11th year of Hongwu is destined to be a busy day.From the beginning of Yinshi, the Ministry of Rites began to be busy arranging the grains, six animals, jade and silk for sacrifices; the palace people carefully prepared the clothes and hair of the concubines and princes; even the princes and ministers were not allowed to sleep peacefully. Getting ready to enter the palace to attend the grand ceremony.

On the first day of the first month of the first lunar month, officials are used to it when they cannot get together with their wives and children at home and enjoy the leisurely life, but they have to get up early in the morning to go to the palace to blow the cold wind.The first day of the first lunar month has been the most auspicious day of the year since ancient times. The royal family usually likes to hold important celebrations such as worshiping ancestors, worshiping heaven, and even entrusting feudal titles on this day.

And this day was the auspicious day when Emperor Hongwu was planning to divide the titles for the five princes.Today, the five princes canonized as vassal kings are Chun, Bai, Gui, Li, and Zhi. Among them, Zhu Chun is the oldest, but he is only eight years old.

Emperor Hongwu personally set the rule of entrusting the kings at the age of ten, but this time he distributed the entrustment to the youngest son in advance. The reason for this is very complicated.

In Changyang Palace, a middle-aged beautiful woman is combing the hair of a seven or eight-year-old boy. Looking at the boy's attire, it is the four-clawed golden dragon suit worn by the prince. This is Zhu Chun, who will be enshrined as the King of Shu today. .

It is said that the prince has his own residence in the harem, but Concubine Guo Hui treats Zhu Chun differently.This is what she has been looking forward to for many years, so since Chun'er was born, she is not thrown to the palace like other concubines. Regardless of food and drink expenses, or character and studies, she personally manages and supervises it. It can be said that Mothers like her are very rare in the harem.

Zhu Chun was still a half-grown child at this time, but he was already showing signs of being very handsome.His appearance is [-]% similar to that of his mother, Concubine Guo Hui, but with a little masculinity and no femininity.Concubine Hui is recognized as the most beautiful concubine in the harem. It is conceivable that a son who looks like her is far ahead of other princes in appearance.

Although the comparison between the princes is not superficial, but Zhu Chun is good-looking and very smart since he was a child. He began to learn the Four Books and Five Classics at the age of four, and he was able to write some doggerel at the age of six. Emperor Hongwu still loved this son very much.It's a pity...his mother is Concubine Guo Hui.

Concubine Guo Hui, whose real name is Cui'e, is Guo Zixing's only biological daughter and the youngest sister of Empress Xiaoci Gao.In the 14th year from Yuan to Zhengzheng, after Guo Zixing was forced to Chuzhou by Sun Deya and Zhao Junyong, he was taken in by Zhu Yuanzhang. In order to win over Zhu Yuanzhang, he married the famous young girl Cui'e as his concubine.

Speaking of this matter, Guo Cui'e was very wronged.The elder sister, Ma Xiuying, is a adopted daughter, but she has become the main wife. Although she is in the same position as his wife Zhang, because she is the only biological daughter in the family, she has been loved since childhood, so how can she be willing to be a concubine.

However, although Guo Cui'e complained a little at first, she let it go before she got married.The first reason is that she was very close to her elder sister since she was a child. Before she got married, Ma Xiuying persuaded her with kind words and told her her heartfelt feelings for a whole night, so she didn't want to care about her sisters; Going out of the city gate to greet him, the man immediately, tall, mighty, heroic, with silver armor and scarlet cloak, he showed his true qualities of a hero. What is rare is that even though his father had wronged him before, he got off the horse Come, be polite to your father, just like a gentleman with an open mind.

After these two incidents, Guo Cuie had already secretly promised Zhu Yuanzhang in her heart.At that time, in order to appease Guo Zixing, Zhu Yuanzhang used a full set of gifts for marrying the royal family to marry Guo Cuie.At that time, Guo Cui'e only wanted to be with her sister, follow the example of Ehuang Nvying, and be by his side, and she had nothing else to ask for in this life.

But things were completely different from what she had imagined. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to hand over the position of commander-in-chief to Guo Zixing. He knew that Guo Zixing married his birth daughter to him to further control him, so how could he get close to her.So, after the eight-carriage marriage came in, Guo Cui'e, who was much more beautiful than her sister, was left aside.

At that time, the world was uncertain, Zhu Yuanzhang was concerned about the great cause, and Guo Cuie didn't think much about it, but he didn't know whether it was intentional or a habit, so he stayed there for 16 years.Guo Cui'e would be a fool if she didn't know that Zhu Yuanzhang was ignoring her on purpose.

From the 14th year of Yuan to Zhengzheng, to the third year of Hongwu, from a 14-year-old flowery girl to a 30-year-old half-aged mistress whose face is about to die, how many 16 years can a woman have?In the first year of Hongwu, all the concubines were entrusted, and even Concubine Li Shu, who married Zhu Yuanzhang two years later than her, and Concubine Guo Ning who followed her were of higher grade than her. She was only placed in the third position in the East Palace.

I think my sister didn't know the inside story back then, and she asked privately when she saw that she hadn't given birth to an heir for many years, but... the pain in her heart cannot be expressed, no matter it is out of face or self-preservation, it is not allowed.

Until the third year of Hongwu, Emperor Hongwu suddenly had a whim one day, and finally got lucky with her.And Guo Cui'e's stomach was also very upbeat, and the only time she had Chun'er.From then on, Emperor Hongwu probably felt that Guo Zixing had passed away long ago, and the Guo family's sons were all killed in battle, and the Guo family could not do anything, so he did not neglect her again.

But for so many years, from love to hate, an inexplicable poison fermented and boiled in her blood, causing her pain in all limbs, and sometimes she couldn't sleep when she thought of how she silently wept.Guo Cui'e will never return to the beginning.

Concubine Hui put down her comb and combed her son's hair in a bun. After a while, her husband, the supreme king of a country, will personally put on the nine-pronged crown for Chun'er, and she will also attend as a concubine in the apse.But... King of Shu, hehe, that's really good. When she knew that Chun'er was going to be named King of Shu, the poison that had been hidden in her heart for 24 years felt like it was about to ferment and erupt.

"Chun'er, the palace you live in is a bit shady, do you want to change your place? For example, Ciqing Palace... the same." Hiding the hatred in her eyes, Concubine Hui asked flatly.

Hearing this, Zhu Chun's hand shook slightly.Where is Ciqing Palace?It's the Crown Prince's East Palace, which is where the eldest brother Zhu Biao lives, and his mother has lived in the harem for a long time, so how could she not be clear about it? She made a metaphor like this, but the meaning is very clear.

Zhu Chun was silent for a while, and then pretended not to understand and replied: "The place where the boy lives is very good."

"Okay?" Concubine Hui smiled lightly, "Even if you think it's good, soon after, your father will drive you to the poor land of Sichuan."

In ancient times, Bashu, where transportation was inconvenient and it was difficult to go to the blue sky, was always a place where people who were punished for crimes were exiled. The emperor entrusted Chun'er to such a place. Not to mention, she was only three thousand miles away, and she could still see her in this life. Son how many times?

The ancients matured precociously, especially in the royal family. At the age of eight, they already knew a lot of things.His mother's heart was not as gentle as it appeared on the surface, and Zhu Chun had been feeling it for the past two years, but today, for the first time, he understood what she was thinking in her heart. Such thoughts were terrifying and shouldn't be there at all.

Zhu Chun made up his mind, and still pretended not to know, and replied: "The land of Shu is dangerous and the people's customs are strong, and it cannot be ruled by non-cadres. The imperial father entrusted me there, which is just for my ability."

"Hehe..." Concubine Hui smiled and didn't say anything else. The son who knows her son is more like her mother. Her son with a delicate heart is pretending to be stupid to herself, how could she not know.But forget it, Chun'er is still young, and he was brought up by himself, not only smart but also very filial, these things, just take it easy.

Zhu Chun's mood was suddenly clouded by what his mother said early in the morning.In the main hall of the palace, at the moment when his father personally put on the nine-pronged crown for him, and all the officials worshiped him, he was not happy, and an inexplicable sense of heaviness hit his heart.

The crown of the vassal king is made of rattan, covered with silk and black lacquer, inlaid with gold rings, gold edges, and adorned with 160 two multicolored jade beads. It is so luxurious, but Zhu Chun only feels that wearing it on the head weighs a thousand catties. But...he has no choice, he can only accept the worship of all officials with a smile on his face like the other four younger brothers who don't know much about the world.
