Daming Zhu Di: Father, why aren't you dead? !

Chapter 114 Zhu Youtang: Taizu is an old man, the most important thing is blood and family! (5.2k seeking subscription!)

"Master Immortal, is this person really the master of my Great Ming Zhongxing?"

"A generation of Mingjun who will be praised by later generations?!"

Old Zhu Di couldn't help it anymore, looked at Ji Boying, and asked in a deep voice.

Even emperors like Emperor Hongxi (on sick leave) and Emperor Xuande who have always treated civil servants preferentially, and even dynasties such as Jingtai with heavy ministers' power, have never dared to blatantly buy death penalty with money.

According to this rule, a corrupt official corrupts 1 taels of silver, uses 5000 taels to buy a death penalty, then turns around and steals another 1 taels, spends another 5000 taels to buy a death penalty, and gives the court 1 taels back and forth. Two, it is simply a 'virtuous circle'.

No wonder the Jiajing gods would say: They take 200 million of my money, and I take 100 million. Do I need to thank them? !

As for where the greedy money comes from?
It's not all the fat and anointing of the people who are searched for, and it is the people at the bottom who suffer in the end.

Ji Boying looked at old Zhu Di, was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Can…"

Old Zhu Di opened his mouth to speak, but finally he sighed and said nothing, he didn't know what to say.

"At least, he is the master of ZTE in some people's minds."

"For example, the civil servant group we mentioned in the last class."

Ji Boying spoke lightly, then turned around and walked a few steps.

"Since Hongzhi ascended the throne, the Wu Dynasty has been added, with endless discussions and sutra feasts."

The so-called Jingyan refers to the imperial lecture hall specially set up for the emperor to talk about the history of the classics since the Han and Tang Dynasties.

To put it bluntly, it is for the emperor to receive the influence of the classics of the sages.

To put it bluntly, it is to brainwash the emperor.

Civil servants have always been the most enthusiastic about holding meetings, sutra banquets, and especially teaching the emperor how to behave, govern the country, and bring peace to the world.

As long as the emperor of any dynasty worked hard on the two matters of "Chaohui" and "Jingyan", he was definitely a wise monarch in the eyes of civil servants.

vice versa.

For example, Zhu Jianshen, the emperor of Chenghua, who was hacked and his body was bruised, would not hold meetings, let alone hold any sutra feasts.

Emperor Chenghua in his seat frowned upon hearing this.

Is there a constant feast of the court proceedings?

Meeting every day is useless, and meeting every day can calm the refugees in Jingxiang?Meeting every day can defeat Mongolia?Meeting every day can plow the court and sweep the hole?

I haven't had a few meetings for more than ten years, and I still have done everything that should be done.

Emperor Chenghua was the first to refrain from court, and because he was nested in the deep palace all the year round, he was joked by many literati in later generations as weak and incompetent, and there was even an unofficial history about how he ate grapes.

But if you think about it carefully, the emperor actually has no good place to go. Once he goes out, he will have to spend a lot of money, which will consume the power of the country and the people. It is better to stay in the harem.

But in fact, the reason why Zhu Jianshen didn't go to court was because he didn't want to blah blah blah with those civil officials. In his eyes, these talkative old masters could quarrel for a long time over trivial matters.

Although he didn't go to court, he didn't do any of the things that an emperor should do, and he did all of them very well.

In the Chenghua Dynasty, the court was known as "Paper Paste Three Pavilions, Clay Sculpture Six Ministers".

All kinds of popular books grasped this point, took it as a strong evidence of the inaction of Emperor Chenghua and the dimness of the government during the Chenghua period, and widely publicized it to the outside world.

But I have never thought about why the Chenghua Dynasty had the phenomenon of "three elders on paper and six ministers on clay".

Clay Sculpture Six Books, these five characters were also very applicable in Hongwu Dynasty.

That's because Emperor Chenghua didn't need these civil servants to mix in. You civil servants hand over the power in your hands, and it is enough to receive salaries as decorations and maintain the normal government affairs of the empire.

As for other things, I will do it myself.

Whether it was to regain the Hetao or sweep the caves in Liting, it was Zhu Jianshen's order alone, and he never asked the opinions of these civil servants.

Because he knew that once these people opened their mouths, it would be a lot of shit.

This also proves from the side that the imperial power of the Chenghua dynasty was prosperous.

This is the rise of the imperial power again after the civil engineering change, overwhelming the civil service group, and directly turning the civil service group into a castle in the air. The cabinet drinks tea every day, and it's over when it's time to get off work.

And when Emperor Chenghua passed away and the Hongzhi Dynasty had just begun, the civil servant group was like a dehydrated three-body person in the three-body body, recovering rapidly, and one by one became active again.

"The sutra feast continues?"

Hearing these four words, Lao Zhu frowned even tighter.

What he hates the most is these old masters beeping non-stop in front of him.

Not to mention Zhu Di, who skipped classes since he was a child.

"Xin Yi."

On the podium, Ji Boying glanced at Zhu Jianshen.

Zhu Jianshen didn't realize that the immortal master was calling him until he cast his gaze, so he quickly stood up.

"Tell me about your martial arts in Chenghua Dynasty."

Originally, Zhu Jianshen, who was a little sleepy when he woke up early, was too late last night to serve Concubine Wan Gui.

Immediately, I will not be sleepy anymore, and I straighten my back.

"I put down the chaos of millions of refugees in Jingxiang."

"I expelled the Mongol Tartars."

"I regained the Hetao."

"I recovered Hamiwei."

"I made a decree to conquer Jianzhou Jurchen, and I won a complete victory. I beheaded Dong Shan, the head of the Jurchen thief."

After all, Zhu Jianshen stopped talking.

After all, Zhu Jianshen at this meeting is only Zhu Jianshen who has been in Chenghua for 11 years, and he himself does not know the achievements of the next 12 years.

At this moment, Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao stood up.

"Grandfather, you haven't finished yet!"

"In the 15th year of Chenghua, you ordered the massacre of the Jianzhou Jurchens, and it was stated in the imperial decree that they would destroy their nests and eliminate their species!"

"Chenghua has never lost in more than ten foreign wars!"

"How majestic! How majestic!"

After hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Zhu Jianshen was taken aback.

Am I so rigid?I do not know how?
These words fell into the ears of Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu Di and other emperors and princes, and the eyes that looked at Chenghua Zhu Jianshen changed immediately.

The fairy master sold this pass, so this kid is the real master of ZTE!
Especially after knowing that the Jianzhou Jurchen is the braid who will occupy the Central Plains in the future, Lao Zhu and others even regarded the Jianzhou Jurchen as a family that must be destroyed.

For example, in the Hongwu Dynasty, Lao Zhu had issued an order a few days ago to worship Xu Da as his commander, and immediately set off to lead an army of [-] to march north to Jianzhou Jurchen, and he was bound to wipe out Jianzhou Jurchen in one fell swoop.

"That's right, as expected of my good son from the Zhu family, who has a bit of our demeanor!"

Old Zhu's dark face finally revealed a smile after hearing about Zhu Jianshen's record.

"Taizu Miao praised, seeing deep is just doing the duty of a Zhu family."

Zhu Jianshen was neither humble nor overbearing, and bowed deeply to Lao Zhu.

Even old Zhu Di and Zhu Laosi cast friendly smiles at Zhu Jianshen, Hongxi Zhu Zhanji, Xuande Emperor, and Yongle Zhu and Zhu all had eyes of admiration and envy.

After all, when Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji were in power, neither of them had any martial arts worth mentioning.

Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, the only ones who can overwhelm Zhu Jianshen in martial arts are Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang, and the undisputed third place.

"Come on, let's move on to the next illusion."

Ji Boying's voice fell.

Lao Zhu and the others were all absorbed in watching the changes in the surrounding scenery.

In the twilight of the morning, the morning sun falls through the clouds, and there are rivers criss-crossing, crops and fields.

The fertile fields and thousands of miles mentioned in the poems refer to the current scene.

"here is?"

Lao Zhu frowned slightly. Although he had inspected many places in the country, such fertile land was still extremely rare.

"It's a sister -in -law!"

Old Zhu Di's eyes turned cold.

At this time, there was a group of cavalry galloping along the river bank, and the fur armor passed on their bodies was the standard equipment of the Tatars.

"This is the Hetao Plain."

Ji Boying spoke lightly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

"impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

"I have taken the Hetao, and left enough troops in the Hetao to deter Mongolia!"

After Chenghua Emperor Zhu Jianshen was taken aback for a moment, he said repeatedly.

"Hongzhi withdrew."

"The frontier army has slackened."

"So, the Hetao is lost."

Ji Boying looked at Zhu Jianshen calmly.

"In the fifth year of Hongzhi, Zhu Youtang adopted Ye Qi's proposal and abolished the method of opening middle schools, and changed it to Nayin Kaizhong."

"From now on, prepare for nothing."

The so-called open-China method means that salt merchants transport grain to the border, and then return from the border to the Ministry of Households to receive salt. Only then can they sell salt, so that the grain supply of the frontier army can be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

However, the opening of Nayin directly cut off the grain delivery at the border. The salt merchants directly handed over the silver to the Ministry of Accounts, and then the Ministry of Accounts distributed the salt.

This approach can fill the treasury in a short period of time.

Of course, it is also convenient for the powerful officials to make money from it.

From the perspective of historical verification, the abolition of the open-China law is an extremely short-sighted plan.

The opening of the Nayin bank brought a short-term surplus of one million taels to the Ming Dynasty, but severely damaged the economic cycle system of the border towns in the mainland, which was originally in a virtuous cycle, and caused the border towns to lose their hematopoietic function, which in turn caused a skyrocketing military expenditure. A great financial burden on the Ming Dynasty.

According to historical records, in less than two years, the finances of the border towns were quickly swallowed up by the ever-rising military expenditures of the border towns, and the border towns, which were maintained by the state's continuous investment in military expenditures, became one of the root causes of the decline of the Ming Dynasty.

How Zhu Youtang viewed this matter back then is unknown, and why he approved this proposal is also unknown.

Anyway, it can be found, and it is exact.

That was Ye Qi who proposed to abolish the Chinese and French laws. This guy's family has been a big salt merchant for generations. After Nayin was opened, the wealth of the Ye family has skyrocketed by at least ten times.

"In addition, since the Hongzhi Dynasty, civil servants have been in charge of the governor's office of the five armies. Whether it is the appointment of military officers or the right to guard land and military household registration, all have been handed over to civil servants for management."

"It's also from here that the land of the National Guards began to disappear at an alarming rate. As for where these lands disappeared and whose hands they fell into, you can think for yourself."

Ji Boying's voice was very calm, but Ah Biao was very excited!
"The Immortal Master has repeatedly said that he wants to improve the status of the soldiers, and balance the Duty of the Five Armies with the Ministry of War. After the Tumu Fortress, the Duty of the Five Armies has already declined, and now the civil servants are in charge of the Duty of the Five Armies. ...!"

"The military general will have no status in my Ming Dynasty!"

The eyes of Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu Di, and Zhu Lao Si are getting colder and colder.

They all understand the truth that in times of peace, it is indeed necessary to weaken the power in the hands of generals, but it is definitely not directly to death.

If a war breaks out in the country and there is no general in the main army, who will carry the flag? !

Followed by.

The surrounding scene, the illusion has changed again, before Lao Zhu and others can clearly see what the scene is like.

Ji Boying's voice fell into their ears.

"Hami, I lost it too."

Then, the scene changed again.

"Jianzhou Jurchen regained their vitality during the Hongzhi period, and caused troubles again."

When all the surrounding scenery returned to the main hall of the Drunken Immortal.

Zhu Jianshen, who was sitting on the seat, was in a daze at this moment, his eyes were dull, and he looked like he had no love in his life.

Zhu Jianshen: It's numb, it's completely numb, I dare to say that I have been fucking for nothing all these years!

Seeing this, Zhu Houzhao, who was next to him, moved the chair very thoughtfully, and moved closer to comfort him.

"Grandfather, don't be sad, don't be sad."

"With grandchildren here, Hetao will have one, and Hami will have one too."

"As for the Jianzhou Jurchen, I will inherit your behest and slaughter all these braids."

Zhu Jianshen looked at Zhu Houzhao subconsciously: Inherit the legacy?Brother, am I still alive and well?

"My father actually wants to make the country rich and the people strong, but he trusts those civil servants too much."

Under Zhu Jianshen's gaze, Zhu Houzhao was a little embarrassed, and laughed.

The orthodox Zhutoubao at this meeting is also secretly proud: Hey, this Hongzhi looks similar to me, I don’t believe in any shit civil servants, I believe in eunuchs!

Lao Zhu, who was sitting on the teacher's chair at the side of the podium, looked at Ji Boying.

"Brother, let's go to Hongzhi Dynasty."

The voice was flat, but the eyes were cold.

"No rush, it's not over yet."

"For our practical observation class, before going to the observation site to practice, we must explain the background before the class clearly, and practice with questions, so that we can play the role of warning teaching."

Ji Boying glanced at Lao Zhu.

Then speak.

"Come on, let's continue to enter the last illusion."

Hearing this, Lao Zhu and Lao Zhu Di's hearts skipped a beat.

It was the first time that the two of them didn't want to enter the fantasy world so much since they started to experience the fairyland. They were both old, and they were afraid that their hearts would not be able to take the blow, so they just passed away on the spot.

Following Ji Boying's words, the surrounding scenery changed rapidly again.

And this time, it's the hour of God.

"Fly, fly, fly!"

"Ride the clouds and ride the fog!"

Both Jiajing Immortal and young Zhu Houcong looked surprised, because they were located in the sky above the Daming Imperial Capital, overlooking the entire capital from above.

And the height is still rising, and the imperial capital below the eyes is extremely small.

"Too, too fast, I, I'm almost out of breath..."

Big Fatty Yongle covered his heart and kept taking deep breaths, Yongle Xiaozhu sitting behind him quickly patted his back for his father.

This visually rapid ascent will also give people a thrilling thrill.

Even the emperors like Old Zhu, Old Zhu Di and Zhu Laosi, who rolled over from the battlefield, were used to strong winds and waves, and they looked a little uneasy under such a rapid climb.

Only Jiajing Immortal and young Zhu Houcong seemed to be dazed. One closed his eyes and made a formula with both hands, muttering words, while the other flew into the clouds and rode the fog.

Suddenly.

The height rises and stops abruptly.

"Wow, vomit!"

Fatty Jianwen, who had been silent all this time, just vomited.

Ji Boying glanced at the princes and princes, mainly Jianwen Dapang, and then withdrew his gaze.

"Watch carefully."

From a bird's eye view, in front of everyone is the territory of the entire Ming Dynasty.

Following Ji Boying's words, hundreds of red dots flashed everywhere on the map.

"These are all temples built in the Hongzhi Dynasty."

"The total cost is about 1000 million taels of silver."

Hearing this, old Zhu Di's pupils shrank suddenly.

"1000 million taels of silver!"

He wholeheartedly wanted to launch the third Northern Expedition, and the six courtiers kept crying for poverty. If he had the 1000 million taels of silver, why would he worry about military expenses?Why worry about the immortality of the Tartars!

And this prodigal son actually used so much money to do some temple viewing!
Lao Zhu's chest was even more violently heaving at this moment.

He doesn't want to talk anymore, he just needs to carry the knife now.

Everyone in the world knows that the gods in Jiajing practice Taoism, but they don't know that Emperor Hongzhi is also a veteran.

Since Zhu Youtang became obsessed with Zhaijiao in the eighth year of Hongzhi, he began to divert money from the treasury in various ways. This year, several 10 taels, and next year, a million taels, and major repairs and special repairs all over the country.

In the 18th year of Chenghua, the state treasury was as abundant as it was in the 600 years of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. This is Zhu Jianshen's legacy to Zhu Youtang.

In the 18th year of Hongzhi, the national treasury was poor and the financial deficit was huge. Zhu Houzhao almost couldn't even get together the money for Zhu Youtang's funeral and his own enthronement ceremony.

Many readings in later generations describe the three dynasties of Chenghua-Hongzhi-Zhengde in this way: Zhu Jianshen left a mess for Zhu Youtang to clean up, Zhu Youtang cleaned up the mess and left behind a prosperous age, and then Zhu Houzhao was ruined.

But if we really want to analyze it carefully based on all kinds of serious historical materials that can stand scrutiny, the real situation is likely to be like this: Zhu Jianshen left a prosperous age for Zhu Youtang to inherit, Zhu Youtang was defeated, and left behind A mess, and then Zhu Houzhao wiped his ass.

Of course, these are the opinions of the whole family. How to think about it is up to you to judge for yourself.

However, we can analyze the status quo of the civil servants of the three dynasties. The civil servants of the Chenghua Dynasty were basically fishing for tea, while the civil servants of the Hongzhi Dynasty were active, hardworking, and progressive.

The holographic projection, following the silence of the crowd, dissipated like a dream bubble, and the surrounding scene returned to the main hall of the Drunken Immortal again.

Ji Boying scanned the group of emperors and princes, and almost finished what he had to say.

"It's almost there, let's go."

In fact, there is still a little more to say, and it is still very important.

That is the Zhang family's relatives, especially the two brothers-in-law Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling, who were extremely rampant under the connivance of Emperor Hongzhi, but I was afraid that Lao Zhu would not be able to bear it after hearing this, so I simply stopped talking.

Old Zhu took a deep breath.

His hand was tightly grasping the mace beside the Grand Master's chair.

...............................

Hongzhi time and space, Hongzhi 17 years.

The wind is sunny and the sun is shining. This kind of weather is the most suitable for teaching children.

Oh no, it is best for educating children.

Forbidden City, Gonghouyuan (Imperial Garden), Chenglong Pavilion.

Empress Zhang pouted and sat with her back in anger.

"Your Majesty, Yan Ling just took some land, did he kill people or set fire to it?"

"Why did these officials sue him like this, and even moved out Emperor Taizu Gao?"

Because of thinning hair, Zhu Youtang, who never took off his hat all the year round, his face was slightly pale, and he said with a sneer.

"Queen, don't be angry, I have decreed an hour ago to return all the [-] hectares of farmland to Yanling."

"As for the impeachment of officials, don't worry about it."

"Even if Emperor Taizu Gao is alive, he will definitely agree with my actions."

"He is an old man, but he pays the most attention to blood relationship...!"

Boom~!

Lei Yin, it exploded.
