Prince of Chaos

Chapter 709 Meet Again in Yikun Palace

Emperor Wanli looked at the Qianqing Palace for a long time. Although it is a new residence, it can be regarded as a revisit to the old place.

Emperor Wanli lived in the Qianqing Palace since he ascended the throne at the age of nine. It was not until the fire burned the Qianqing Palace that the Wanli Emperor left the Qianqing Palace and lived in the Queen's Kunning Palace for a while.

But then Emperor Wanli was invited by Zhu Changluo to Xishan Huangzhuang, and from then on, Emperor Wanli began his life away from the palace for more than ten years.

After staying away from the boring Forbidden City and handing over state affairs to Zhu Changluo, Emperor Wanli felt the breath of freedom that he had not seen for a long time in the Xishan Huangzhuang.

In Xishan Huangzhuang, Emperor Wanli always did what he wanted. He was almost a regular visitor to Xishan Wanli Wanli Street and Xishan Third Hospital. He not only enjoyed freedom in Xishan Huangzhuang, but also learned a lot of wonders. think knowledge.

This is a paradise for the always wise Wanli emperor.

Moreover, the more important Daming Royal Bank was established in Xishan. As a seasoned emperor of money, Emperor Wanli was also very concerned about the business of Daming Royal Bank.

Under the overall planning and arrangement of Emperor Wanli, the current Daming Royal Bank has blossomed all over the Nine Sides, and has become the largest and most credible bank in northern Daming.

Therefore, before Zhu Changluo used public power to suppress it, Emperor Wanli had already taken down the north that originally belonged to the world of Shanxi merchants.

It can be seen that Emperor Wanli's ingenuity and financial ability are really the best in the world!

Moreover, in the recent period of time, Emperor Wanli knew about the tulip bubble incident in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, through exchanges with more and more Thai and Western people who traveled to and from Daming and Xishan Huangzhuang.

This major event, which was hailed by later generations as the last capital bubble burst in the financial history, inspired Emperor Wanli a lot, so Emperor Wanli's mind also became active.

He had an intuition in his heart. Although the ending of the tulip bubble was tragic, Emperor Wanli felt that Taixi's tulip bubble incident seemed to be an opportunity, and it was a huge opportunity!

As long as he grasps this opportunity well, the wealth in his hands will grow explosively. However, Emperor Wanli has no idea what to do. After all, he is also a hearsay now, and he just simply heard what these Taixi people said about The description of the Amsterdam Tulip Bubbles only.

The specific process and the doorway inside, Emperor Wanli is still in the dark.

However, this did not prevent Emperor Wanli from being interested. Therefore, when Zhu Changluo realized it later, Emperor Wanli's sense of smell had already smelled the smell of the capital market.

If, at this time, Emperor Wanli told Zhu Changluo his thoughts, Zhu Changluo would definitely think of the famous financial institution in later generations-the stock market!
There is no more crazy casino in this world than the stock market!

What Las Vegas, what Macau is in the face of the stock market's ability to absorb money is simply weak!

Take Zhu Changluo's daily trading volume of over one trillion yuan, which Zhu Changluo often heard before crossing. Stamp duty alone can make people laugh, not to mention the daily life of sitting in the stock market and eating retail investors, telling stories and harvesting leeks Operated.

If Zhu Changluo popularized this knowledge to Emperor Wanli, Zhu Changluo dared to assert that Emperor Wanli would definitely create a stock market in Xishan Huangzhuang.

After all, the current Xishan Huangzhuang is fully qualified to do this, because there are not too many merchants and ticket numbers within the scope of Xishan Huangzhuang!
As far as the industries under Xishanhuangzhuang itself are concerned, many of them can be directly listed to collect money.

However, the reason why Zhu Changluo has been slow to think about this is because the current Daming is not suitable.

Seeing that the power of the Little Ice Age is getting stronger and stronger, if the establishment of the capital market has misled the hearts of these merchants in the capital, then how can Zhu Changluo let them devote their efforts to paving a way for the poor people to survive? ?
Therefore, before all the big gentry families in the south were cleaned up, Zhu Changluo wanted someone to stand opposite him, sit in the dark, and fight against him.

After all, the capital market is a double-edged sword. It would be fine if he could directly control the overall situation. However, in the current situation, Zhu Changluo can only control Jiubian and Jingshi.

In Jiangnan, which has been prosperous for thousands of years, the imperial power in the hands of Zhu Changluo is not as good as the rolling pin in the hands of street aunts. The people there have not been very obedient since the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

What they see more in their eyes is their own interests. Anyway, even if the world is in chaos, even if the dynasty changes, for these people, it is nothing more than changing the allegiance of the emperor.

As long as their interests can be maintained, they don't care about righteousness or shame.

Therefore, if he wants to use the capital market to collect money, then Zhu Changluo must ensure that he is the referee and the biggest banker in the capital market.

Otherwise, with the thousands of years of experience of those wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River, maybe they can turn around and steal Zhu Changluo's family fortune in a blink of an eye.

After all, the idea of ​​the king and the scholar-officials co-ruling the world has been deeply ingrained in the minds of many scholars. In the Ming Dynasty, some radical scholar-officials believed that the Holy Son of Heaven should be ruled by the emperor, and that the country's affairs should be left to them.

Especially at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Huang Zongxi, a great thinker of a generation, wrote a shocking political work like "Yuan Jun"!

Let's start directly discussing whether the emperor is the master of the country.

This kind of problem is naturally not a result that is known without discussion in the democratic politics of later generations.

However, in the Ming Dynasty, the rebellious remarks that could overturn the emperor's table!
It is also fortunate that the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty had almost zero influence on the south. Otherwise, a great thinker like Huang Zongxi would not have enough heads to cut off the emperor.

Maybe he will follow in Li Zhi's footsteps and have to reflect for a while in the dark and damp prison.

Therefore, as long as Zhu Changluo Zhu Changluo wants to change this era and correct the direction of sailing in this era, the first thing he has to do is to centralize power!

And this centralization is not simply the centralization of the power of the capital, but the centralization of the power of the world!
Scholars in the Ming Dynasty loved to discuss government affairs too much. If this was an era of highly developed social civilization, Zhu Changluo would naturally like to hear it.

However, society in the late Ming Dynasty was divided.

Not only is the difference between the North and the South huge, but the difference between classes is also huge.

Although, some definitions given in the history books of later generations say that since the Western Zhou Dynasty, China has broken away from a slavery society to a society of enfeoffment and feudalism.

However, slaves never died!
Slavery still exists!

The class of scholars can naturally enslave those poor and suffering common people!Human transactions are also commonplace. It is a natural thing for a rich family to buy a maid or a slave, and no one would think that this is inappropriate.

Moreover, most of these maids and servants who were bought were changed to the surname of the master's family, and then became the slaves of the master's family forever and ever.

Therefore, those who say that slavery disappeared after the Xia and Shang Dynasties are simply nonsense!
Slavery has never left from the beginning to the end, and it is still the same until the era before Zhu Changluo's time travel, but it has become more concealed, making people unaware of it for a while, thinking that he is a free person, but in fact, he is still that difficult If you are a slave, you still have to work tirelessly and dare not tire out, otherwise you will face bankruptcy and difficulties.

"Father, when are you going to move back?"

After accompanying Emperor Wanli to look around the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Changluo asked Emperor Wanli.

Emperor Wanli hummed, and then said: "I won't come back, I'm used to Xishan Huangzhuang, this Forbidden City is too boring, I can't stay, so I think Xishan Huangzhuang is suitable for me. "

This answer did not exceed Zhu Changluo's expectation. In Zhu Changluo's expectation, Emperor Wanli would definitely not come back to live.

However, as a son, as a prince, Zhu Changluo still wanted to invite Emperor Wanli back to live again.

After all, this world is still the world of Emperor Wanli in name, and the owner of the Forbidden City is still Emperor Wanli. There is no reason why the owner is not allowed to come back after all the houses have been built and decorated.

Therefore, no matter what kind of mentality it is, Zhu Changluo must do his best and repeatedly ask Emperor Wanli to return to the Forbidden City.

"Father, the Xishan Huangzhuang is not a palace after all. Although it is good there, it is still the safest in the palace. Guards are guarding the palace day and night. The ministers of the Ministry are also here, and it is much more convenient to summon them when there is something to do."

Emperor Wanli shook his head immediately after hearing Zhu Changluo's words, "Xishanhuangzhuang is also very safe. I have lived in Xishanhuangzhuang for more than ten years, and everything is fine. Besides, I am used to living there. .I will be uncomfortable when I come back here."

"What's more, you are now supervising the administration of the country, and it is your business to receive the ministers. I will not pay attention to them, otherwise, they will quarrel to the point of pain."

"So, no matter what, I won't come back to live here. Now the Forbidden City is yours! I think you should move to the Qianqing Palace now. Your Ciqing Palace is too small, and it doesn't fit at all. You, the Crown Prince of the Supervisory Kingdom of the Son of Heaven, will be treated with courtesy."

When Zhu Changluo heard that Emperor Wanli wanted him to move into Qianqing Palace, Zhu Changluo immediately shook his head and said, "Father, this is not allowed, how can I move into Qianqing Palace? This Qianqing Palace is the emperor's residence, so it is not suitable for my son. "

Emperor Wanli took another sip of sparkling water, and said, "What's inappropriate? I won't come back to live, and you are the crown prince, or the supervisor of the country. Sooner or later, this world will be yours, and all the affairs of Ming Dynasty must You worry about making up your own mind. So you should live in Qianqing Palace!"

Emperor Wanli was not shy at all, and even directly gave up the Qianqing Palace to Zhu Changluo.

You must know that Emperor Wanli came back to the Forbidden City today just to take a look at the newly built Qianqing Palace.

As a result, after reading it now, Emperor Wanli didn't mind staying here, but Zhu Changluo was actually asked to live here, which somewhat surprised Zhu Changluo.

Zhu Changluo smiled wryly: "Father really can't do this."

At this time, Emperor Wanli seemed to be getting more energetic. Emperor Wanli said: "What can't be done? Isn't it just a palace? If I can live in it, you can too. What's more, I can't live anymore. Let you Living here is also for your own good. The Ciqing Palace is too small and does not fit your current status, so you should follow my advice and move out of the Ciqing Palace to the Qianqing Palace."

"Meeting those ministers in the Qianqing Palace will deter them even more, making them respect and submit to you from the bottom of their hearts, and let them understand that the world belongs to you, my father and my son!"

Emperor Wanli had already talked about this point, so Zhu Changluo naturally stopped coddling it.

Although, living in Qianqing Palace is a bit presumptuous now.

However, since Zhu Changluo supervised the country, has there been less arrogance on him?

He not only used the emperor's guard of honor, but also used the same service as the emperor, and when holding the ceremony of supervising the country, he also used the etiquette equivalent to the emperor's enthronement.

Judging from these piles of things, Zhu Changluoke has always usurped the imperial power.

So, even if he oversteps a bit now and lives in the Qianqing Palace, which should belong to the emperor, so what?
"My son thanked my father."

Zhu Changluo bowed solemnly, thanking Emperor Wanli for his kindness.

Emperor Wanli smiled and said, "That's right."

Chen Ju and Sun Xian, who had been following Emperor Wanli and Zhu Changluo all along, were also stunned at this moment. They didn't dare to vent their anger, and kept their heads down looking at the ground, fearing that they would lose their composure at this time.

Just as Chen Ju was still looking down at the ground and digesting the words between Emperor Wanli and the Crown Prince, Emperor Wanli spoke.

Emperor Wanli said: "Chen Ju, you issued a decree in my name, asking all the ministers to come to the Jianji Hall for the early court tomorrow. I will personally announce to all the ministers that the crown prince will move to the palace."

Chen Ju was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied: "The old slave leads the order."

After giving these orders, Emperor Wanli was in a good mood.

"It's getting late, I'm going back."

After all, Emperor Wanli is about to leave.

Zhu Changluo pushed Emperor Wanli out, and the two walked in the Forbidden City. The guard of honor followed them far away, never approaching.

This was an order from Emperor Wanli. He seemed to have something to say to Zhu Changluo. After a while, Emperor Wanli finally said, "I want to visit Yikun Palace."

Zhu Changluo knew that Emperor Wanli was thinking of Concubine Zheng, and Zhu Changluo was not nervous, nor was there anything strange.

Now that Zhu Changxun has gone to Chengde, the whole capital is also Zhu Changluo's home court, and people in the world only recognize Zhu Changluo's will.

Therefore, there is no need for Zhu Changluo to be petty about this matter.

Zhu Changluo said: "It's the father, and my son will notify the palace servants to go to Yikun Palace and let Zheng Niangniang pick him up."

Emperor Wanli said: "No, it's just the two of us. You push me, and I just want to see her. After so many years, don't you know how she is doing?"

Listening to Emperor Wanli's words, Zhu Changluo knew that Emperor Wanli's heart still hadn't completely let Concubine Zheng Gui down. After all, this person was also Emperor Wanli's heart.

Zhu Changluo ordered that no one should continue to follow him, and then he pushed Emperor Wanli towards Yikun Palace.

The Yikun Palace at this moment is still the same as it was years ago, but this palace no longer has the air it used to have, and now there is only an indescribable bleakness and loneliness.

Even those palace people who usually like to flatter and flatter seldom come here.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo and Emperor Wanli came all the way, and did not meet a few eunuchs and court ladies. This shows that Zheng Guifei's current situation is really cold
