On the first night after ascending the throne, Zhu Gaoxu lived in the Ganqing Palace. This was the place where the Emperor of Ming Dynasty lived.

Sure enough, he didn't sleep well and felt relieved all night! Maybe it was because he was not used to it. His mood was very complicated, both novel and excited, and uneasy and insecurity.

After all, it is a place where the emperor can sleep, and this biggie alone can make Zhu Gaoxu excited. There are still tens of thousands of women in the harem for him to choose from. Although he can't take care of it, he still feels very happy to have so many.

However, the sleep comfort of the Ganqing Palace is indeed a bit poor. When constructing, you should only consider the specifications of the emperor and the status of the solemnity, and it cannot give people a relaxed feeling at all.

The prince's bedroom in the Han Palace is also very large, but it is far from comparable to here; and the surrounding area of ​​the Ganqing Palace is bare, and there are people on duty at any time inside and outside. This is like the office space where palace maids and eunuchs go to work, without the feeling of a bedroom.

Moreover, Zhu Gaoxu always feels that something is unsafe! When he thinks about it carefully, he can't say where there is a problem.

From the perspective of architectural structure, it is obvious that Emperor Taizu was very concerned about the emperor's safety when supervising the design. The two major buildings of the Ganqing Palace and Kunning Palace on the central axis of the imperial city are located in an area like a large courtyard; on all sides are the highest walls in the palace city, with several gates in the walls, and there are no small doors, side doors and other entrances.

As long as you use trustworthy people to guard the closed area where the Kunning Palace of the Ganqing Palace is located, no one who is irrelevant can enter.

Of course, Zhu Gaoxu re-deployed his manpower. In addition to the eunuch Cao Fu brought from the Han Palace, he activated Wang Jinghong and Hou Xian to be responsible for the Silijian (the Silijian established by Emperor Taizong, which was not criticized for the reputation and was not involved in the government at this time, and its main function was to take charge of the personnel of the eunuchs in the palace). He ordered Hou Xian and others to select palace maids and eunuchs to be responsible for the on-duty of the Qing Palace.

But this still cannot eliminate the vague worry in Zhu Gaoxu’s heart!

He asked himself that he was not a suspicious person. On the contrary, Zhu Gaoxu, who had been a gambling brother, was very adventurous. But when he went to bed on the first day of ascending the throne, he was a little suspicious. Are all the emperors like this?

He suddenly understood why he never spent the night with others except staying at his mother's queen. Last night, Zhu Gaoxu didn't even feel as if he was lucky enough to be a strange woman. Cao Fu asked quietly, but Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and refused.

When he woke up in the morning, surrounded by eunuchs and palace maids, Zhu Gaoxu was working as an imperial chariot, step by step out of the Ganqing Gate, and went to the Imperial Gate (Fengtian Gate) to handle political affairs.

As soon as he ascended the throne, Zhu Gaoxu did not intend to rush to do anything big; he had to slow down... The current period is very sensitive, from the capital to the local government, countless eyes are staring at the new emperor, how should he rule! Zhu Gaoxu hopes that everyone will be at ease first and don’t think that he will not give people a good life!

Especially many civil servants, in an era where there is no big external threat to the country, they most want to see an emperor who does nothing but loves to repair cars. In this way, everyone doesn’t have to worry and be overwhelmed.

However, Zhu Gaoxu was not negligent in his duties. The next day he went to the Imperial Gate to handle the memorial and discuss state affairs. His performance in the past two days should seem like an extremely regular emperor.

When they arrived at the Imperial Gate, Zhu Gaoxu sat on the throne. The officials, eunuchs, civil servants Hou Hai, and Pei Youzhen all arrived, and everyone gave great gifts. After the etiquette, Zhu Gaoxu did not discuss matters and looked straight through the memorials sent to review them.

At present, almost all the civil and military officials in the capital have been ordered, and the central agencies have almost been included in the new monarch system. The imperial edict of the ascension of the throne was also copied by various officials and notified the officials of the provinces, prefectures and counties of the Ming Dynasty in the form of a mansion.

Local officials who express congratulations or who are unhappy with Zhu Gaoxu are forced to surrender and write memorials to call the emperor are considered to be subjects of the Wude Dynasty. If they are clearly not obeying the imperial edict, they are not recognized as legitimacy of the Wude Dynasty, which is of course considered to be openly plotting against them; what awaits them must be the force of the imperial army to suppress the rebellion!

Zhu Gaoxu quickly felt bored when he reviewed the memorials. Because today's memorials were almost all congratulatory statements, similar flattery words; it seemed very pleasant at first, after all, people like to be held by others, but if you read a hundred similar things, you will feel very bored...

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly discovered something that was not a congratulatory statement.

Du Erlang, who was temporarily in charge of the Jinyiwei North Fufu Division, submitted a memorial, and ordered the prison military officer to sue Yao Fang and entered the imperial prison to kill the criminal Pu Qiao without permission! Because Du Erlang was not Yao Fang's boss and had no right to deal with Yao Fang, he submitted a memorial to the emperor to decide.

After seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu was immediately angry. He treated Yao Fang as his own person. This guy broke the law on the day he ascended the throne! He became arrogant so quickly?

"Summon Yao Fang to ask!" Zhu Gaoxu said in a bad tone.

The eunuch on duty immediately announced the edict with a long voice, and he heard it out loud.

Zhu Gaoxu looked back at the officials who were writing and painting on the left and right of the hall and asked, "Who do you know who Pu Qia is?"

Hu Yi stood up, walked around and walked out of the desk, came to the throne, bowed and said, "I, the Minister of Rites, Hu Yi, asked the emperor to report to the emperor. Puqia is the chief monk in the 32nd year of Hongwu."

The 32nd year of Hongwu? It was the Jianwen year.

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while and suddenly remembered Pu Qiao! At the beginning of Yongle, Emperor Taizong wanted to investigate the whereabouts of Jianwen and his son, so he asked Zhu Gaoxu to do this. At that time, Zhu Gaoxu not only met Ma Enhui, but also met Pu Qiao. What is Pu Qiao related to Yao Guangxiao? Yao Guangxiao had asked for orders to release this person more than once.

Zhu Gaoxu thought of the hatred between Yao Fang and Yao Guangxiao again, and immediately guessed a rough idea.

"I understand." Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand. He glanced at Hu Yi again and thought to himself: After all, Jinshi is a Jinshi, so he is very particular! He spoke verbally with the emperor and said very carefully about the reign title; after all, the Jianwen reign title was completely removed from the Yongle period and changed it to Hongwu, and Zhu Gaoxu did not say that he would reverse the case for Jianwen.

"I sue for my retreat." Hu Yi said with rituals.

After waiting for a long time, Yao Fang kowtowed outside Fengtian Gate and asked for the imperial edict, then walked into the imperial gate and knocked again under the throne.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Yao Fang first and found that his eyes seemed a little red and swollen, as if he had cried.

Because of the reason why Zhu Gaoxu's anger was also relieved. Zhu Gaoxu's angry tone at this time was mostly just acting, "You are so brave!"

Yao Fang said: "The emperor calms down and do not affect the dragon body by the humble minister. The humble minister knows that he has violated the law, so please punish him!"

Zhu Gaoxu pointed at Yao Fang angrily and cursed: "You still know that you have violated the law, ah? I think you have made merits and wanted to reward me on merits. After discussing with the ministers, I will give you a title. You are fine, for personal grudges, I will ignore the future!

I know you have deep hatred, but that is just a private hatred. The state has national laws. As a general of the Jinyiwei, you can enter the imperial prison with your position and kill prisoners without any slaughter. This is illegal! Even if Pu Qia is punished for his great crime, you, a general of the Jinyiwei, can lynch his lynching!"

Although Zhu Gaoxu scolded him fiercely and had a bad tone, he kept saying that Yao Fang was guilty of committing the law. However, the content of the scolding was explained... When it comes to Yao Fang's achievements in awarding titles and family feuds, he also directly convicted Pu Qiao of death!

Of course there is another reason. Yao Fang's sister was the wife of Zhu Gaoxu when he was the King of Han; and this matter cannot be taken out and said on the Imperial Sect, relying on relationships is not a reason.

Yao Fang kowtowed and said, "I know that I am wrong, so I ask the priest to sue you! I deserve the crime, but I have known the consequences before I break the law, and I have no complaints. I don't need to be awarded titles, nor do I have any intention of the future of the official position, and I am indulging in my personal grudges and grudges, and I have to be cultivated by the emperor. I am sorry to the emperor!"

"You are still noble?" Zhu Gaoxu said angrily, "Come here, drag me to the gate of the imperial prison, and be fifty-year-old! Demoted to the General Banner of the North Fushi District of the Jinyiwei."

Yao Fang bowed and said, "I will accept the crime, thank you!"

After Zhu Gaoxu said that, he turned to look at Cao Fu who was standing next to him. Cao Fu was smart. While receiving the order, he saw that Zhu Gaoxu had something to say and bowed forward a few steps.

"Be at ease," Zhu Gaoxu whispered.

Cao Fu shouted: "I received the order!"

Zhu Gaoxu asked Yao Fang again: "Do you still dare to offend?"

Yao Fang said: "I didn't dare to do it because I was so angry that I would never commit it again."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "If there is next time, I will never forgive you!"

Of course, he couldn't bear to use Yao Fang to kill the chicken to warn the monkey! He had just sat on the throne and was a little uneasy, so how could he easily kill his own people?

Zhu Gaoxu judged that people had a set of ideas, that is, whether they were malicious. He sat on the throne, and this was even more so!

What he was most unhappy were those who hid in the dark and had malicious intentions... no matter whether it was good for them or not, as long as it could harm Zhu Gaoxu's interests and bad things, they would feel comfortable in their hearts!

All laws and regulations are irrelevant, and the Ming Dynasty is not a legal country yet.

After all, there were too many affairs in such a huge Ming Dynasty, and the emperor could not control it alone, so he could only let his ministers do it. If there were too many malicious people among the ministers, would the matter be done well?

This may also be one of the reasons why the emperor had to plead three times and let everyone support him?

People like Yao Fang didn't give him face yesterday, which made Zhu Gaoxu very angry at first; but soon Zhu Gaoxu felt that he was not arrogant because of his favor, and his heart was still good, and he was sincere in admitting his mistakes, which was understandable.

... Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly understood where his anxiety and worry came from!

Who is the real murderer who murdered the late emperor?

The death of the late emperor has been decided on the table. As long as he is a minister who is obeyed, there is no reason to publicly question the conclusion. However, Zhu Gaoxu's intuition was not done by Gao Chi and the officials of the Eastern Palace! There must be someone else.

Zhu Gaoxu knew exactly what kind of person the previous emperor Zhu Di was, how careful he was. The murderer could actually poison Zhu Di in the palace. The hidden depth was so deep that it was creepy!
