A century-old family that runs through the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 92: Proclaimed emperor, father and son meet

The throne was inherited by Zhu Di, which did not cause much controversy.

Although Zhu Yunwen also left behind an heir, this was different from the original time and space.

Apart from anything else, just looking at Dao Yan, in the original time and space, he was spurned by his family, saying that he was "the wrong monk", and among the scholar community, his reputation was already extremely bad.

But in this time and space, his friends should associate with him or with him. The family is also very happy to have such a big shot. After all, coordinating the rear is comparable to Li Shanchang in the past. Dao Yan's contribution is huge.

This is because Zhu Yunwen's legitimacy and orthodoxy have been questioned by many people.Zhu Di explained the issue of the imperial edict to the world very early, but the martial arts officials did not say anything on the surface, but secretly added fuel to the flames. This also led to the fact that even the scholars, who were scholars, had reservations about King Yan's rebellion. .

Zhu Yunzhen's own legitimacy was in doubt, let alone his sons. Zhu Di did not hesitate to depose the crown prince Zhu Wenkui and change him to King Yin. He and his younger brother Huai Wang Zhu Wengui were imprisoned in Fengyang, the central capital.

Zhu Di said that the fault was not with Jianwen, but he still simply abolished his imperial title, changed it to the year of Hongwu 34, demoted him to the king, and gave him the posthumous title "Min".

However, he did not ascend the throne immediately. Instead, he summoned the kings who had joined him in the rebellion and began to discuss the ownership of the throne.

Needless to say, the results of the discussion were that the other kings all recommended Zhu Di as the next generation emperor.

After all, the other party is both the direct eldest son and the most powerful. In the battle for the "rightful throne", he also deserves the greatest credit.

Even King Su and King Qing unanimously chose Zhu Di.

There is no other meaning. The situation is obvious now. Although someone is still seeking everyone's opinions, who doesn't know this old trick?It's better to agree to the situation. This way, maybe we can seal a good place and leave a place in the Jiangnan water town for my brothers to have fun.

So, after going through all kinds of hardships, King Yan Zhu Di was finally able to ascend to the supreme throne.

In April of the 34th year of Hongwu's reign, all preparations were completed.

Zhu Di offered sacrifices to the Tiandi clan and formally ascended the throne at Fengtianmen. He made Xu his queen and designated the following year as the first year of Yongle.

Da Feng group of officials.

General Zhu Wenzheng, the commander-in-chief of the entire army, had meritorious service and was awarded the title of Duke of Wei.His son Zhu Shouqian, King of Jingjiang, was ordered to return to Beijing due to tyranny in his fiefdom during the Hongwu period. At this time, under the protection of his father, he was allowed to return to his fiefdom of Guilin.

Yan Keng fought many battles with the King of Yan and made great achievements. He was granted the title of Duke of Chen and was hereditary.

Zhang Yu, for his meritorious service in battle, was granted the title of Xiang Fuhou and was hereditary.

Zhu Neng, for his meritorious service in battle, was granted the title of Marquis of Huaiyuan, and was hereditary.

……

After that, all the generals received rewards and titles.

This is the carnival, the carnival of the victors.After experiencing a deadly battle on the battlefield, they ushered in a harvest moment.

Yan Keng stood at the forefront of the heroes, enjoying the envious looks from all directions.

This is the duke!

Yan Keng himself was also very proud. He couldn't help but puff up his chest. This was the most glorious moment in his life.

Chen Guogong...Brother, I am no worse than you!

Because Dao Yan rejected the title that Zhu Di was going to give him, the emperor gave him the title of Yao Guangxiao, and he was appointed as the monk Lu Si Zuo Shanshi and the prince's young master.

Yan Ling came to the ceremony as always, this time he was a guard of honor.

Because Zhu Di had seen him more or less when he was young, Yan Ling not only stood far away, but also had thick makeup on his face, making him look like an ordinary young man.

But the emperor opposite was still clearly visible.

The voice in my mind sounded again:
"[I witness!]"

"[The rightful throne, the elimination of rebellious ministers, and the rule of Yongle! I am Yan Ling, King of Jingping!]"

"[Reward: Weather Experience Card: Strong Wind]"

"[This is exclusive to the Son of Destiny and the most mysterious existence in Chinese history. It always appears at critical moments and determines the pattern of an era.]"

"[Number of times: three; time limit each time: half an hour]"

Yan Ling touched his chin with satisfaction.

Finally, I feel like I am the only player in the game.
-
At night, the newly promoted Duke Chen came to the Duke of Yue's mansion with all his fatigue.He was very busy today.A series of complicated rituals and the subsequent congratulations from the officials made him exhausted.

Walking into the inner room, Yan Ya was sitting on a chair, sipping a cup of tea. He had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Brother, why do you need me to come? I'm very tired today!" Yan Keng sat down on the chair and said with some complaint.

He actually didn't want to come and found an excuse to shirk it, but Yan Ya insisted and said, "If you don't come, I will come to invite you personally." Such words forced Yan Keng to stop.

So he had no choice but to rush to Prince Jingping's Mansion with resentment.

"I'll take you to meet someone." Yan Ya didn't seem to hear the slight dissatisfaction in his tone and acted mysteriously.

"Alone? Who?" Seeing him like this, Yan Keng became even more angry:

"As our brothers, who else is worthy of our worries? Is he the King of Heaven?"

Yan Ya's voice was slightly louder: "Brother Keng, don't be rude!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure flashed out from behind the screen.

Yan Keng caught a glimpse of this dark figure from the corner of his eye, and subconsciously reached out to hold the sword at his waist, but when he saw the man's face clearly, he froze.

The tea cup in his hand fell to the ground and broke into pieces, but he seemed not to notice.

Rubbing his eyes, he turned to look at Yan Ya:
"Brother, how could you make such a joke... Where did you find someone with such a similar look?"

He smiled a little forcedly.

Although he was still very young when his father passed away, that face was firmly imprinted in his mind. Over the years, he had also seen portraits of his father when he was young, and they looked exactly like this man!
He saw Yan Ya shaking his head seriously, and even saw the young man walking in front of him with his hands behind his back, and then softly chanted:

"Baiyujing in the sky, twelfth floor and five cities. Immortals caress my top, tie my hair and receive longevity."

"Keng'er, long time no see."

Yan Keng was struck by lightning. He turned his head and looked at his brother in disbelief. What he got was a look of affirmation.

"My father was granted immortality by the grace of an immortal. Before, he just faked his own death to deceive Emperor Taizu." Yan Ya explained.

Turning his head, he saw those familiar majestic eyes. Even after so many years, he still had not forgotten them.

Although the resurrection of the dead is indeed a bit unbelievable, his elder brother will not lie to him.

The familiar feeling on the other side cannot be imitated by any liar.

"Boy, don't you believe it? Do you want me to tell you that when you were a child, you hugged the big yellow dog at home and insisted on getting married to it..."

"Dad, dad!" Yan Keng shouted quickly. He didn't want the embarrassing incident in his youth to be leaked. It was extremely embarrassing. Apart from him, only his parents knew about it, and even his eldest brother didn't know.

He finally determined that the young man opposite was his father, King Jingping Yanling.

"Dad, it's really you..." he murmured.

Yan Ling opened his arms and hugged him.

Tears welled up in Yan Keng's eyes.Although he fought in the north and south over the years, became the famous Chen Guogong, and gained the life that countless people dream of, the loss of his father at a young age has always been a lingering regret in his heart.

The excitement of seeing my father again is beyond words.

After reminiscing about old times, Yan Ling patted his two sons on the shoulders happily.

A family with two kingdoms and a king is a rare honor in ancient times.

"From now on, you will be the two branches of my Yan family, support each other, and jointly continue the bloodline of my Yan family."

"When something happens, don't stand up, you know? Everything is for continuation; everything is for strength!"

"Two princes, two bloodlines who share the same blood as the country... Hehe, as long as the Ming Dynasty does not die, my Yan family will not die!"

There was some pride in Yan Ling's expression. Everything was going smoothly according to his plan. This made him feel happy even though he had lived for decades and was already well established.

"Father, you seem to be interested in the court...I heard that you always tried your best to assist Emperor Taizu..." Yan Keng heard this, but he felt doubtful in his heart.
