Daming Town Haiwang

Yanhuang calendar 1770, Zhengde 20 years.

In a half-mountain attic of Hongyun Winery in Nanyun Province, Liu Jin, who is nearly 70 years old, is carefully planning his autobiography at his desk, carefully considering the content written before, and repeatedly thinking and thinking.

Since the death of Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jin moved to Nanyun Province to settle here, and then he didn't go anywhere, and stayed here all the time.

Every day, he takes a walk among the beautiful mountains and rivers, exercises his body, reads books, and writes his autobiography. Liu Jin's life in his later years is quite comfortable.

Maybe it's because he didn't run around anymore, but Liu Jin felt like he was living younger and younger. He exercised every day, and his energy was very good.

It may also be because the climate and air in Nanyun Province are really good, Liu Jin can also go to the hot springs here.

Liu Jin's small life is quite comfortable and comfortable, he is in a good mood, and he can teach his son's studies.

Living here in Nanyun Province for the elderly, when there is nothing to do, Liu Jin's concubines have given Liu Jin a lot of fruit. This old man has a son, and Liu Jin's discipline on these younger sons is relatively loose. Some, unlike the previous seven sons, are extremely strict and demanding.

And in the past, Liu Jin, as an important minister of the imperial court, was very busy every day, so he didn't have much time to accompany them. On the contrary, this old son, Liu Jin had plenty of time, so he had a lot more time to accompany them.

"Old Wang~"

There were two people who assisted Emperor Zhengde in handling state affairs, and everything was handled in an orderly manner.

The Ming Empire has reached the current state, and it has established everything about the most powerful empire in the world. Even if the situation changes in the future and the situation is turbulent, the Ming Empire will still be the most powerful country on this planet.

Although he had already expected this day, and also had a premonition that this day would come soon, when he actually heard the news of Zhu Houzhao's departure, Liu Jin still couldn't help sighing.

Thinking of Wang Shouren, Liu Jin couldn't help but sigh.

Wang Shouren's departure also made Liu Jin lose one of his old friends, and at the same time, it also made the situation between the ruling and opposition parties in Ming Dynasty turbulent.

In addition, during the reign of Emperor Zhengde, he put great emphasis on infrastructure construction and people's livelihood construction, and vigorously developed electrical and telecommunications. During his 20 years in power, electrical technology and technology developed very rapidly, and at the same time began to enter thousands of households in a real sense. .

But when Wang Shouren left, the situation of the government and the opposition changed. The new cabinet ministers and ministers were not bad, but their prestige was far inferior to Liu Jin and Lao Wang.

At the same time, Zhu Houzhao, who loved the military and admired Huo Qubing since he was a child, also further strengthened the benefits and treatment of the soldiers, so that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty gained more guarantees and dignity.

Zhu Houzhao also attaches great importance to Ming's control and layout of the world. On the basis of the original foundation, the Ming Empire successively set up military bases on various important route points around the world, laying out control and influence over the world, so that the army of the Ming Empire can continue to Deliver to anywhere in the world within 48 hours.

In the past, when Liu Jin and Wang Shouren were around, they were able to restrain all officials in the government and the opposition. In addition, both of them were powerful enough and influential enough, and these civil and military officials also obeyed them.

On the one hand, weaken the chieftain system in the Uzbek area, liberate the serfs, and give ordinary people in the Uzbek area freedom and materials and land for survival.

The development of telecommunications technology is also very rapid, and it has gradually spread to every corner of Daming, every town, and even every village has a telephone.

Liu Jin couldn't do without admiration for such a great man.

Thinking of Zhu Houzhao, Liu Jin sighed again.

I have lost another old friend. In this world, I have one less old friend. There are fewer and fewer days I can talk to.

Not to mention the study of the mind, he is a master of the study of the mind, and also the founder of the Yangming School. Too many people in later generations have been influenced by Wang Shouren's thoughts on the study of the mind, and this school has produced many outstanding people , even after hundreds of years, there are still a large number of people all over the world who are studying his ideas.

His departure also made Liu Jin sad for a long time.

A year ago, Wang Shouren also died of illness. Liu Jin did not go to the capital to mourn Wang Shouren, but wrote a memorial letter in memory of Wang Shouren and sent it to the Wang family.

The first point is that he attaches great importance to the innovation and progress of science and technology, as well as education. Not only has he established a large number of new institutions of higher learning in various provinces and places in Daming, all of these institutions are established and maintained by direct funding from the Ministry of Household Affairs of Daming. It has greatly promoted the progress of Daming science and technology.

Liu Jin will do well what he should do by himself, and he will never participate in things that he should not do or talk about by himself. As for what will happen, Liu Jin will not care, everything is like this.

Many ministers in the court hope that Liu Jin can come out to maintain the court situation, and at the same time persuade Emperor Zhengde not to be superstitious about those monks and Taoists, who are close to virtuous officials and far away from villains.

"Ugh!"

"Master, master!"

Because Liu Jin, a time traveler, not only has he lived to the present, he has lived to the age of 60, but he also has many descendants, many sons and grandchildren, which is already a huge change.

In addition, the Uzang area, which the Hongzhi dynasty had never paid attention to, received great attention in the Zhengde dynasty. The Zhengde emperor Zhu Houzhao directly sent a large army to go to Uzang, and completely liberated the Uzang area almost without bloodshed.

As soon as the housekeeper finished speaking, the pen in Liu Jin's hand dropped on the desk.

Although his reign was only half of that of Emperor Hongzhi, and Emperor Hongzhi left a prosperous and prosperous age for Emperor Zhengde, a great situation.

Familiar people left the court one after another, coupled with his poor health, all of these made Zhu Houzhao more and more prone to rage and losing his temper.

I finally retreated, so why would I go to this muddy water.

In his autobiography, there must be Zhu Houzhao and Wang Shouren's content. How to write about these two people, Liu Jin also thought a lot, a lot.

I have already said what I should say, and I have done what I should do. What will happen in the future is beyond my control.

However, he had indulged himself too much, so he died early.

This is Liu Jin's principle of dealing with affairs, to seek his own government when he is going, and not to seek his own government when he is not in his position!

"Wang Shouren!"

At the same time, it also promotes the development of new learning, so that more students can receive higher education.

Human beings have produced more and more powerful and advanced weapons, and the situation of future wars will undergo tremendous changes. He even boldly predicted in the book that in the future, wars between the two sides may be separated by hundreds of miles, Thousands of miles, even thousands of miles away.

Liu Jin stood up, looked towards the east, towards the direction of the capital, and remained silent for a long time.

Often because of some unimportant things, Zhu Houzhao directly asked the cabinet minister to resign and go home if he was not satisfied.

In terms of military affairs, Wang Shouren also made outstanding contributions. In his later years, on the one hand, Wang Shouren had to deal with major national affairs, and on the other hand, he took the time to write a new era military book. This new era military book explained in detail the accompanying With the development and progress of science and technology.

In addition to the great achievements in these two aspects, Wang Shouren has made contact contributions in many aspects such as philosophy, literature, education, etc., leaving a lot of precious wealth to future generations.

Liu Jin looked at his autobiography, which mentioned Wang Shouren, and Liu Jin also deliberately studied and figured it out carefully.

Without the control of Emperor Hongzhi, he began to indulge completely, indulge in sensuality, and took a lot of tiger and wolf medicine to cheer up, and his health deteriorated day by day.

This is very useful for the popularization and promotion of new learning, and at the same time allows the students of the old learning to broaden their horizons and knowledge, and is no longer limited to traditional Confucian classics.

Wang Shouren is better, how can you write Niucha, but what about Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao?

It is not always possible to make a difference and have an effect.

This alone has made countless people in the Uzbek area grateful to Emperor Zhengde and deeply impressed by the grace of the Son of Heaven. They hang up the portrait of Emperor Zhengde at home and chant sutras and Buddhas for him every day.

These cabinet ministers and cabinet chief assistants have never been able to win Zhu Houzhao's heart like Liu Jin and Wang Shouren. Whenever something happens, Zhu Houzhao will blame them, and even put the cabinet ministers into prison once, and finally they are civil and military. All the officials interceded together, and Zhu Houzhao released him.

Liu Jin picked up the pen, thought carefully, and then began to write a eulogy for Zhu Houzhao, describing the glorious life of Emperor Zhengde in detail.

Another aspect is to gradually strip away the political control and influence of temples and religions in the Uzbek area, reform the land and return it to the local people, and appoint Liu officials to the Uzbek area to establish the same system as other areas of Ming Dynasty.

Liu Jin estimated that Zhu Houzhao wouldn't be here for too long, and at such a time, there was no need for him to wade into the muddy water.

This is a real hero, not to mention the past and the present, at least in the past few hundred years, only Wang Shouren has been born.

In fact, Zhu Houzhao is indeed a powerful king. At least in Liu Jin's opinion, Zhu Houzhao is stronger and smarter than his father, Emperor Hongzhi, and he also knows more about tactics and so on.

At the same time, he became more and more presumptuous. It was useless for anyone to persuade him, and even the ministers dared not persuade him, because several ministers were directly demoted to the marginal areas by Zhu Houzhao after persuading him.

After a long time, Liu Jin sighed again.

As long as you can pass the provincial examination, you can become a Juren, and then go to the general examination as a Juren, and finally get a title on the gold list, and then step into the court and become a serious Jinshi.

Compared with the historical Emperor Zhengde, he has actually made a lot of money. Historically, he died because of a fall into the water when he was in his early thirties, leaving no descendants.

It can be said that the great changes that took place in the Uzbek region were all realized in the hands of the Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao, which enabled the Ming Empire to truly rule this vast area, and also allowed this area that was originally a backward serf system to quickly recover. developed.

If Zhu Houzhao can take good care of his body, he can listen to everyone's persuasion. He can live longer. At least, it is definitely not a problem to live another ten or twenty years.

Character determines destiny!

But during the 20 years of Emperor Zhengde's reign, he still made a lot of contributions.

On the other hand, the poor health also caused Emperor Zhengde to become obsessed with immortals and Buddhas. For this reason, he enshrined many so-called eminent monks in the palace, and also learned from these monks to eat fast and chant scriptures.

Zhu Houzhao is also a genius who likes to study machinery, electromagnetism, etc. If he is not the emperor, his achievements in the field of science and technology must reach a very high level.

Liu Jin was full of admiration for Wang Shouren, the last sage of Confucianism.

For this reason, it was specifically established as a scientific and technological military office under the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and a large number of new science and technology professors, engineers, etc. were specially summoned to study various powerful weapons and equipment.

These not only facilitate the information and transportation of the Ming Dynasty, but also greatly strengthen the control and rule of the Ming Empire over all parts of the country.

"Ah~"

The other ministers were not very convinced, and the factional struggle that had been suppressed for a long time began again, but this is not the key point. The key point is that Emperor Zhengde's health has become extremely bad in recent years.

In addition, new students are allowed to take the exam in the imperial examination. As long as they are admitted to colleges and universities, new students are equivalent to obtaining the status of scholar and can directly take the provincial examination.

Even in remote areas, one phone call can know what happened in these places, and can quickly mobilize manpower, material and financial resources to do some big things.

Just as Liu Jin was thinking, the butler hurried over and said, "My lord, there is news from the capital that the emperor has passed away!"

Externally, Emperor Zhengde also made a lot of contributions and deeds. First of all, Zhu Houzhao attached great importance to military affairs and the development of military technology.

He has made outstanding contributions and achievements in many aspects.

The only thing that needs to be done now is to assist the crown prince Zhu Zaicheng well. In Zhu Houzhao's situation, he can't last long at all.

I also found a lot of Taoist priests to make some longevity pills for him, which made the whole palace full of smog, and many treacherous villains got a chance because of this, which made the loyal and upright people in the government and the public worried. Jin receives letters or phone calls almost every day.

When it was time for Emperor Zhengde, Liu Jin knew very well that it was useless for anyone to persuade him, and it was useless for him to persuade him.

Liu Jin felt that he had done everything he could, and there was really no need to do the rest.

Such a precise and bold prophecy made Liu Jin, who saw this art of war, also admire the old king. It is amazing that he, a civil servant and a literati who has been away from the military for a long time, can have such advanced foresight.

Even a hard-nosed person can't stand his own tossing around like this. On the one hand, he indulges in excesses, and on the other hand, he takes some medicine for tigers and wolves, and he also takes some health pills, longevity pills, and the like.

But since becoming the emperor, he has had very little time to do these things.

The reason why Zhu Houzhao is here is all destined.

Even if occasionally Zhu Houzhao would ring Liu Jin and call Liu Jin, Liu Jin would chat with him about the beautiful scenery, food and beauties of Nanyun Province, and talk about the good memories of the past. His troubles.

If the earth is missing, everyone will turn the same, and I am not omnipotent.

As long as this remains the same, everything else doesn't matter.

Secondly, under the strong support of Emperor Zhengde, the Ming Dynasty reformed the traditional imperial examinations, not only introducing a large amount of new learning content into the imperial examinations, but also forcing those traditional old schools, private schools, etc. Introduce new content.

Perhaps the only regret is that during the 20 years he was in power, no country dared to challenge the Ming Empire, so that for many years, the Ming Empire had millions of troops, a powerful army, a large number of warships, cannons, etc., but It's like practicing the art of slaying a dragon, which is useless.

Whether the Ming Dynasty became more prosperous, or turned from prosperity to decline, these are beyond Liu Jin's control, everything, everything has already been determined.

But Liu Jin is obviously very clear that his own era has passed, and now is a new era for young people.

Therefore, even if many, many ministers wrote to Liu Jin, asked Liu Jin to persuade Emperor Zhengde, and asked Liu Jin to come out of the mountain to preside over the court, Liu Jin did not respond or express at all, and never wrote or said anything. Call Zhu Houzhao to mention this period.

He indulged himself, no one said it was useless.

In addition, it is important to invest in the Uzbek area, especially the investment in transportation and education. A large number of people in the Uzbek area who received new education began to quickly integrate into the big family of the Ming Empire.

Although Zhu Houzhao is a good friend of Liu Jin, and he used to be a relationship between the monarch and his ministers, but Zhu Houzhao will have all the things he is now, all caused by himself.

On the one hand, Emperor Zhengde's temperament changed greatly, and his whole person became moody. In the past two years, the chief assistant and minister of the cabinet have changed very frequently like a horse watching flowers.

This made Zhu Houzhao very depressed. In fact, he has always wanted to find an opponent to fight well, and even supported Spain for this reason, hoping that Spain can unify Europe.

However, although Charles V of Spain is powerful, he has never been able to unify Europe. He only occupied a lot of Western Europe, but he has never been able to defeat the Allied Forces of the Holy See and the Holy Roman Empire, and he has never been able to unify Europe.

And the Spaniards are also aware of the strength of the Ming Empire, so they dare not provoke the Ming Empire at all, let alone give the Ming Empire any reason to go to war, and have always been very friendly to the Ming Empire.

There are too many and too many places to write about the life of Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao. Although he was excessively indulgent and very absurd, this cannot conceal the great contribution he has made to this country.
