The Imperial Age 山河月明 Episode 45

The treatment that should be given to Xia Yuanji, Zhu Di will not be less, and Xia Yuanji is still responsible for many affairs of the Ministry of Household, no one said that he can't handle official business in prison. In this way, Xia Yuanji spent three years in prison before Zhu Di went to see him. Zhu Di has accomplished many things over the years, and Xia Yuanji didn't know what to say. In fact, he didn't deny that Zhu Di was right in doing these things, but he didn't understand why he had to make frequent northern expeditions, and why he had to go to the West several times within a few years. Zhu Di listened to his words more and more harshly, turned and left. Xia Yuanji saluted at the back, Mobei was bitterly cold, and hoped that His Majesty would take care of him.

Later, Zhu Di told Zhu Gaochi that he was going to the prison this time to release Xia Yuanji, but he did not expect to be squeezed right by him again. Three years ago, Xia Yuanji did not agree to use Mobei as a soldier. He had his own reasons, and Zhu Di also had his own considerations. There is nothing wrong with the remonstrance, but Zhu Di was annoyed at Xia Yuanji and urged all the ministries to hand him a memorial together. How can the emperor be controlled by all the ministers, which is why he put Xia Yuanji in prison. The reason why Zhu Di told Zhu Gaochi this was not only because he was the future emperor, but also because he was his eldest son. Zhu Di was worried that Zhu Gaochi's kindness would cause trouble in the future.

For a long time, Zhu Di has been very strict with Zhu Gaochi. This time, listening to Zhu Xi's heartfelt words, Zhu Gaochi finally understood his good intentions. The next day, Zhu Di got up early and headed to Mobei for expedition. In the past few days, Zhu Di's body has been unable to bear it. After a few days, it will be Zhu Di's holy birthday. As usual, Zhu Di has not had it. As expected, Alutai marched overnight, so there was no trace or news of Alutai during the day. A child of the Yuan woman was lost, and she cried and wanted to go back to find it, but Alutai naturally did not allow it. After all, at this juncture, Life is more important. After dawn, Zhang Fu found the child left by the Yuan people and took him back to the camp. He seemed to be hungry for a long time and ate like a wolf.

According to the captured Yuan people, Arutai had already retreated to the Danamur River, and when there was not enough food and grass, Zhu Di still had 10,000 elite horses counted and rushed to the Danamur River. Arutai was like a bird frightened and fled immediately, but Zhu Di still failed to catch up this time. Zhang Fu suggested that he should bring 10,000 elite cavalry, prepare enough rations for a month, and go deep into Mobei to capture the sinners, but Zhu Di did not agree. Arutai no longer wanted to deal with Zhu Xi, Zhu Xi asked Yang Zirong a few words, and finally decided to return to Peiping. Boyan Timur was surprised. In the past, Zhu Di had been on the grasslands for at least five months, but he did not expect to return in less than three months this time. Hai Bie understands that Zhu Di is a person who loves face, and this time he returned without success, fearing that it was because his body could no longer hold it.

Zhu Di was already gray, old and frail, and it was even more difficult to ride a horse. He called Yang Zirong and Zhang Fu to his side and ordered him to do many things after his death. After his death, the crown prince was passed on, and the ceremonial mourning clothes were all in accordance with the Taizu system. Zhu Di insisted on riding a horse, so they had to obey. In the end, Zhu Di, Emperor of Yongle, died on the way to class at the age of sixty-five.

Zhu Di galloped on the battlefield all his life, experienced wind and rain, facilitated Zheng He's voyages to the Western Ocean, several northern expeditions, dredged the canal, and created a prosperous era of Yongle.

The end.
