"The imperial edict said: Hong is the emperor, Emperor Taizu, and Emperor Gao, who was born to the destiny of heaven, restore China to sweep the six worlds, and build a career for all generations.

The father, Emperor Taizong Wen, had great magical powers, ruled the Chinese and foreigners; opened the territory, controlled Mongolia in the north, and opened Jiaozhi in the south; the sea master set sail for thousands of miles, and the country came to pay tribute to the world; the civilized rule was the best of the kings, and the kindness benefited 100 million yuan, and the education did not close their doors at night; the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty was unprecedented and the achievements of the prosperous era.

My prince, the prince, was deceived by the treacherous and slandered by the Eastern Palace, forgot his parents' great kindness, and was jealous of the virtuous and capable; he forced the palace to seize the throne and watched the treacherous minister kill the king; forced his mother, which caused her mother to die of anger. He wanted to kill me in the palace, but fortunately he was blessed by heaven and earth, and the emperor's ancestor appeared and his life was fully realized.

The crown prince lost great virtue and committed serious crimes, and the civil and military military and civil servants abandoned him. I was the legitimate son of my father and mother. I was the legitimate son of the emperor and his mother. I was the rightful army to attack crimes and fight against rebellion, avenge my parents, and take control of the military and civilians. The righteous army did not violate any crimes along the way, and the people ate a pot of rice. The army that defeated the crime was supported by all the soldiers and civilians of the Ming Dynasty. I raised 20,000 troops, and for more than a year, I fought thousands of miles and went straight to the capital from Yunnan.

Since I have been questioned about the evil of Chengtianmen. The relatives and ministers of the clan recommended me to be the eldest son, but I refused three times and refused to accept the resignation. I dare not give up again. I ascended the throne on the 23rd day of the first lunar month of the seventh year of Yongle…”

The edict also pointed out in detail that in addition to certain criminals who have committed serious crimes that are difficult to forgive, an edict was issued to ask the prisoners in each yamen to be acquitted and to be amnesty for the whole world. The year name "Wu De" will be established and will be used from the first day of the first lunar month next year.

...The music of bells and drums inside and outside Fengtian Hall is very bright and can be heard almost inside and outside the entire imperial city. Chunhe Palace is not far from Fengtian Hall, and it can be heard very clearly!

Chunhe Palace was surrounded by soldiers and was strictly guarded. In addition to the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, the people living inside also had three wives, concubines and three sons. The eunuchs responsible for taking care of them were all reliable people selected by Wang Jinghong and Hou Xian.

(There was a eunuch Cao Fu around Zhu Gaoxu, but it turned out that none of the eunuchs in the Han Palace had been in the palace and were not familiar with the people in the palace for a while. Zhu Gaoxu took a fancy to Wang Jinghong and others. First, they were eunuchs during the Yongle period and were familiar with the concubines and palace ladies in the palace; second, they were not considered princelings.

In the past, Zhu Gaoxu had a good relationship with the eunuch Zheng He, while Wang Jinghong and Hou Xian were Zheng He's people; at the same time, Zheng He was killed by the prince and his followers, and Wang and Hou were also detained by the prince's people.)

The royal staff guarding Chunhe Palace were treated quite well, not detained, nor were they shackled... except for Concubine Guo.

She was always wearing shackles and was locked in a room and was not allowed to come out; because she was suspected of murdering the late emperor, the people in the Han Palace seemed to have forgotten her and have not released her yet. Although Guo Ming was soon released from the imperial prison, according to his current habits, Concubine Guo's main identity is Gao Chi's concubine.

Gao Chi did not stay in the house. He had already walked outside, and his face was facing the direction of the ritual music coming from the west, listening with his ears. Gao Chi lived in the palace for many years, and of course he knew that the origin of the ritual music was Fengtian Hall, and he could even hear that those music was the sound of the songs of the throne ceremony.

"I didn't expect Gao Xu to enter the city the day before yesterday and ascend the throne so soon." Gao Chi heard it for a while and still sighed.

There were only a dozen people in the huge Chunhe Palace at this time, empty like an abandoned palace, and the scene was terrifyingly deserted. On the contrary, the lively ritual music in the west. Such a different face, Gao Chi's mood was even more desolate.

The middle of the year before yesterday, under the support of all ministers, he experienced the throne ceremony and took the throne on the day he took the throne. The scene should be similar to today. The same rhythm evoked his memories, and it was so touching when he recalled it!

It's hard to sit in that position. If you go up vertically, it will be even worse as long as you don't go down horizontally! Just like Gao Chi himself now, death is not the most uncomfortable thing for him. The key is that he will be ruined and have a bad reputation for thousands of years.

Gao Chi almost didn't close his eyes for two nights, and now his face was sallow and very haggard.

At this moment, the Crown Princess came over, looked at Gao Chi with a complicated expression, and said, "Why don't you find happiness here? After entering the hall, the sound in the room is smaller."

Gao Chi nodded and walked back with difficulty. Zhang looked back twice, finally turned around and came forward to support Gao Chi. She said, "I told you before that I am your first wife, and I will be in the same heart as you at any time. Look, now, who cares about you? I am not the only one by your side!"

Gao Chi did not say anything and agreed to the words of the Crown Princess. But he was still a little resistant to the Crown Princess's hand, and he was more willing to be supported by the "Niu Concubine" Zhang.

"Will we be buried together?" the Crown Princess suddenly asked.

Gao Chi turned his head and looked at her without saying a word.

Then the Crown Princess's shoulder twitched, and she buried her head in tears. She choked and said, "I'll just die, the most innocent one is Zhan Ji. He is only in his teenage years old and was the eldest son of the emperor, but his life could not be saved overnight..."

"Oh!" Gao Chi sighed, speechless. The Crown Princess was a person who had been the queen, and it was clear that it was because Zhan Ji was the eldest son and someone had advised him to make a crown prince. At this point, it was the most dangerous, and his life was harder to save than the other two children!

Zhang's crying stopped abruptly, staring at her eyes and tugging Gao Chi's arm with great emotion: "There must be a way, my husband is thinking of a way."

"Oh!" Gao Chi sighed again.

As the emperor, he had more than two million Ming troops in his hand, but there was no way at that time. Now he was alone, even the civil and military officials of the court changed their ranks and became other people's ministers. What can I do?

The two walked back slowly and passed the room where Guo Yan was imprisoned. There was a window next to the door of the room. Although the door was locked, the window was not sealed. Guo Yan had already opened the window and was tilting her head to look west. She soon found the approaching prince and princess, so she turned her head to look here.

Gao Chi glanced at Guo Yan and noticed Zhang next to him. The two women were looking at each other.

A gloating expression appeared on Guo Yan's face, with a hint of sneer. Gao Chi said in his heart: This ignorant hateful woman!

Guo Yan first had a deep grudge with Zhang and had been fighting. Later, she was suspected of killing the monarch and was detained here for nearly two years. Her gloating now is not only because of the Crown Princess Zhang, but she is likely to hate Gao Chi!

However, Zhang's thoughts were not frivolous. She said only one sentence, which made the gloating on Guo Yan's face disappear completely and she almost burst into tears.

Zhang said calmly: "Did you think about yourself or Zhan's?"

Gao Chi also said, "How can there be a finished egg under the collapse of the nest?"

Guo Yan's expression became extremely miserable, with a heartbroken and worried look. Unexpectedly, her face changed again in an instant, and she stared at Zhang with even more resentful eyes!

Seeing this, Gao Chi felt very strange. Is there anything more dangerous than her son's mind?

Then Guo Yan finally said, "Father was killed by her! When I found the person who harmed me, she threatened me and said the same sentence just now. This is because I have already made some plans and want to blame me!"

After hearing this, Gao Chi turned to look at Zhang and frowned and said, "For your personal grudges, have you threatened Guo with Zhan's?"

The Crown Princess Zhang said: "She is a crazy woman, do you believe what she says?"

Guo Yan said coldly again: "The Crown Princess is the murderer."

Gao Chi observed Guo Yan not seemingly crazy and frowned and asked, "Have you threatened her? Have you said that?"

The princess said: "No."

Gao Chi remembered Guo Yan's strong expression and immediately did not believe the Crown Princess' answer. He was not willing to support him, so he shook the Crown Princess' hand away and insisted on moving forward.

After walking together for a while, they saw Zhang, the "Niu Concubine" who was less than 20 years old. When Gao Chi saw her, his eyes became gentle. He immediately heard the princess beside him sneering.

The expression of "Niu Concubine" Zhang was much calmer than that of the Crown Princess and Concubine Guo. When Zhang saw the two, he held a tribute and said: "I have met the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."

After hearing this, the Crown Princess looked at Gao Chi and said coldly: "Honey, listen to this title, even the person next to you is facing the new emperor. No wonder she is not a big deal. Her father (Zhang Fu) led a large number of navy to the King of Han army. She was so great that she felt that she still had a way out! She was afraid she didn't care about her husband's situation."

The young Zhang's kind-hearted appearance disappeared immediately! In the past, there was a concern for each other's identity, but now the "Niuyin" Zhang ignored the identity of the Crown Princess. She immediately retorted: "If the Crown Princess had not always suspected my father, for fear that we would take you and replace him, for fear that my father would have made too great military achievements and would have done bad things behind his back! Why is this the situation?"

The Crown Princess was so angry that her face was pale, and pointed at Zhang and said, "You might as well blame me for losing hundreds of thousands of troops on the battlefield! It was said as if I was the 'General Pinghan'."

"Shut up!" Gao Chi was finally angry from his miserable and desperate mood. He scolded, "We are almost finished together, we are going to be ruined, you are still fighting! I don't understand, what kind of deep hatred do you have, and you are going to die?"

Gao Chi Le is inconvenient, and he struggled to speed up his pace to walk into the house. He said without looking back: "Fight! Keep fighting! Everyone is still together now. If you don't catch it, you will have no chance if you die!"

Gao Chi didn't understand the woman from the bottom of his heart. For example, the brothers fought for life and death, and were full of hatred, which was for the huge thing of the throne, for life and death; and the hatred between women sometimes had no conflict of pros and cons, but it was still impossible.
