My Daming New Empire

Until time travel, although he was considered a master who integrated all kinds of martial arts, he still hadn't found a way to develop in depth.

That's why he now wants to open up another path. With the foundation of two lifetimes of cultivation, at worst he can reach the stage of the second lifetime.

If this life can continue to make breakthroughs, it will be a surprise.

Every morning when he wakes up, he will play a set of Baduanjin, practice Taiji Neijiaquan again, and then have breakfast, then study literature in the morning and practice martial arts in the afternoon.

Born in the royal family, the resources he can use far exceed that of ordinary people.

No matter it is a variety of internal tonics, or bathing with traditional Chinese medicine formula, you can ask for any medicinal material.

The medicinal materials of this era are not the medicinal materials planted by later generations, most of them are pure wild traditional Chinese medicine, and the effect is naturally extraordinary.

The two masters did their best for him, collected all kinds of precious Taoist prescriptions, and changed the dosage at any time according to his physical changes, in order to make his body develop better.

The time has entered the late autumn, and after the busy farming season, it is time for farmers to perform labor service, and the construction of the accompanying capital Beiping has also been officially implemented.

However, this time, it was just repairing the city wall and immigrating wealthy households. The expansion of Prince Yan's Mansion was not on the agenda, and the scale was much smaller.

In the Jinling Palace, two weddings were held in succession after the busy season.Zhu Di's two remaining youngest daughters, Princess Xianning and Princess Changning, were married to Song Ying, the son of Song Sheng, the Marquis of Xining, and Mu Xin, the son of the Marquis of Xiping, respectively.

Zhu Zhanji attended both weddings, and it was rare for him to leave the palace twice.

However, he was young, even if he left the palace, he would still be under the protection of three floors inside and outside, and he had no chance to see the bustling streets of the world's largest city in this era.

Zhu Zhanji is not in a hurry, it is still in his dormant stage.

When he has no ability to protect himself, it's better for him to keep a low profile.

All the princesses are married, and Empress Xu is even more boring.Zhu Zhanji was asked by Empress Xu to live in the attached hall of Kunning Palace. Although he had to attend classes during the day, at least he had more time to accompany Empress Xu at night.

As a result, his cheap mother, Mrs. Zhang, didn't have much chance to see him.

Although Zhu Zhanji is a child now, he has an adult soul. It is a piece of cake for him to make such a lonely woman happy.

After winter, he applied to Zhu Di to take Empress Xu and his cheap mother to spend the winter in the royal courtyard of Tangchi Hot Spring.

Tangchi Hot Spring has been developed during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and has always been a royal hot spring in all dynasties.

The Ming royal family not only had other courtyards there, but also a special greenhouse vegetable base, which specially supplied fresh vegetables to the palace.

Zhu Zhanji started to build his own vegetable field in the name of having fun.But this vegetable field is more labored by Empress Xu and his mother, Princess Zhang.

With this vegetable field, the two women don't feel bored anymore. Living here, they don't even want to go back to the palace.

Zhu Zhanji didn't want to go back either, because here, his time is more free, and he can live with the two masters and study martial arts all day long.

But when the new year came, they still got up and drove back to the palace, because Zhu Di had already decided that he would be crowned prince in the new year.

Chapter 10 Learning and Taoism

In the second year of Yongle's great court meeting, all officials congratulated together.

At the Great Court Meeting, Zhu Di made a decree to confer the title of Zhu Gaochi as the prince, and at the same time canonize Zhu Zhanji, who was only seven years old, as the grandson of the emperor.

At the same time, Zhu Gaoxu was canonized as King of Han and the land of Yunnan.Canonize Zhu Gaosui as the king of Zhao, and confer the land of Beiping.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "What is my crime? I will be driven thousands of miles away." He refused to go to the vassal state, and Zhu Di couldn't bear to force him, allowing him to stay in Jinling.

When the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, Zhu Di leads the army and most of the ministers to patrol Beiping, leaving the prince Zhu Gaochi to supervise the country.

Zhu Zhanji also drove to the north, but continued to accompany Empress Xu along the way.

In Beiping, Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui took over as a vassal. Zhu Gaoxu strongly requested to return to Yingtian with his son Zhu Zhanhe, and got Zhu Di's permission.

After he returned to Yingtian, with the support of Qi State Duke Qiu Fu and Concubine Wang Ning, he obtained Tian Cewei as the guard of the King of Han, and he often compared himself with Tang Taizong.

This also represents that he has officially started the road to seizing reserves.

However, Zhu Zhanji has been watching with cold eyes, and did not directly intervene. He was even a little happy to see his father suffer in front of him.

Zhu Gaoxu is just a whetstone, and there were no waves in the original history. Now that he has come to this era, it is even more impossible for him.

For the time being, let him play around for a few years, as long as he is honored and favored, he has no chance at all.

Back in Yingtian in autumn, preparations for Zheng He's first voyage to the West had already begun.

Zheng He is now the Chief Eunuch of the Inner Palace Supervisor, and in the entire eunuch system today, his status is even higher than that of the Chief Eunuch Dog Wang Yan.

The reason why the Supervisor of Rituals surpassed the Inspector of the Inner Palace later was that on the one hand, he had mastered the emperor's seal, and more importantly, because of Zheng He's voyages to the West, he handed over the power of controlling all the eunuchs to the Supervisor of Rituals.

After that, the Supervisor of Rituals became the most powerful department, and also managed all other eunuchs.

Now Zheng He has put all his energy on his first voyage to the West, and has been stationed at Liujiahe in Suzhou for a long time.

Hundreds of ships sailing to the west, more than 2 people, and all kinds of materials purchased from various places are all concentrated there. He is so busy that he has no time to respond to Tian.

Zhu Zhanji has been paying attention to Zheng He's whereabouts until the end of the second year of Yongle, and finally waited for Zheng He to return to Yingtian.

However, before he saw Zheng He, he had another teacher.

Since May of the first year of Yongle, he had two more Taoist teachers beside him, and Buddhism has been looking for opportunities to get close to Zhu Zhanji.

But since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang has been suppressing Buddhism.

Although he has been a monk, but because he has been a monk, he is more aware of the dangers of Buddhism to the people.

The Yuan Dynasty adopted Buddhism as the state religion, which led to the rise of folk Buddhism, and almost every county had a large temple.

These Buddhists do not engage in production, and occupy a large amount of fertile land, not to mention paying taxes.

In addition, they also have a large number of believers who are deceived and abducted in various places, forcibly accepting donations, and doing a lot of evil, causing the people to live in dire straits.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, apart from the great nobles, the richest people in the whole country were the monks of the temples.

There are only a few big nobles, and there are temples everywhere in the country. It can be seen that monks have done more evil than those Mongolian nobles.

From Zhu Yuanzhang's suppression of Buddhism until Zhu Di came to power, the intensity of the suppression was slightly relaxed. Among them, the most important person was Yao Guangxiao, the most trusted Taoist monk by Zhu Di's side.

Yao Guangxiao planned the Jingnan campaign where Zhu Di seized the heir apparent, known as Jingnan's No. 1 great achievement.After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he was named Zuo Shanshi, the head of the monk record department.

At the beginning of the year, Zhu Gaochi was named the prince, and he was also named the prince's young teacher.

Although he rarely appeared in the court and usually lived in Jishan Temple in Jilong Mountain, Zhu Di trusted him so much that his influence in the court was no less than that of any minister.

Even when Zhu Di saw him on a daily basis, he would call him Young Master by his official position, showing great respect.

Because he likes to wear black monk robes, he is also called the prime minister in black by the people.
