The opening inventory of the top ten young emperors

When the Heavenly Scroll was opened again, Zhu Di had already left Beijing and headed south to Fujian. During this period, Zhu Di had been busy with this matter. At the same time, Zhu was also considering whether to move his fiefdom from Yan to the coastal area of ​​Fujian.

However, he wanted to enfeoff the kings to guard the country and help Ming Dynasty to guard the northern border. He had never thought of destroying the Japanese before, so if he moved the fief of his fourth son to the south, he was afraid that there would be criticism in the court.
After all, in the Song Dynasty, that place was a place of exile. Didn't Tianjuan also count that Su Dongpo, Su Shi, and his brother Su Zhe were both exiled to the south to serve as officials?

Although Mr. Su Dongpo wrote the famous line "I could eat 300 lychees a day and would be willing to live in Lingnan forever", so what? The wilderness is still the wilderness and it has not changed because a great writer has visited this place.
After that, this place remained a place of exile.

It was not until several years ago that Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen's troops took up residence there, built several ports, and developed maritime trade for military supplies, which gradually brought popularity to the place.
But once the forces of Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen were wiped out, coupled with the maritime ban, the place began to decline again.

But there is no other way. The Ming Dynasty cannot fight on two fronts. If it wants to take care of the north, it can only temporarily give up the southeast.
However, although Zhu Yuanzhang was planning to lift the maritime ban and place the International Trade Department in Fujian, in the eyes of others, it was still a wild place where only people or officials who had committed serious mistakes would be exiled.

So much so that there has been a lot of discussion in the capital recently, with people speculating that it was because of the Heavenly Scroll that the Emperor displeased the Prince of Yan, and that's why he was exiled to Lingnan, where they could out of sight and out of mind.
Even this statement reached the ears of Empress Ma, who was so scared that he thought his wife would close the palace door to him again.

However, this time, Queen Ma was obviously not as angry as last time. Not only did she not lock him out of the palace, she also cooked a few of his favorite dishes herself and invited him to dinner.
Zhu Yuanzhang was flattered. It had been many years since he had eaten the side dishes cooked by his wife.

So this time - the Queen must ask him for something!

Sure enough, after a few drinks, Queen Ma wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and spoke, implying:
Your Majesty, look at how beautiful the moon is in the sky. I just wonder if the fourth child can see such a beautiful moon and eat the food I cooked.

Old Zhu immediately understood that his wife was blaming him for sending their son to a barren place like Lingnan, and she was pleading for him.
However, he was not sending his son to suffer, nor was he exiling the fourth son. They, father and son, really had things to do!
But, women still need to be coaxed, no matter how old they are.

So Zhu Yuanzhang, the greatest emperor in history, started to coax his wife.
"Sister, don't be sad. The fourth brother went to the south not to be exiled, but because I have important things to entrust him to do."

"What is it that requires a prince like him to go there in person?" Queen Ma sighed, "I think you listened to the summary of the Heavenly Scroll and felt that he would threaten Biao'er's throne, so you asked him to stay away and exile him to the wilderness."
"But, I asked Biao'er..." Queen Ma's eyes turned red, "He didn't mind at all. But when I asked more, he refused to say more."

"What did Biao'er say?" Zhu Yuanzhang felt uncomfortable when Biao'er was mentioned. After all, Tianjuan said that Biao'er would die early, and even stated that his eldest grandson Xiongying and Empress Ma would both pass away the year after next.

Whenever he thought about this, he couldn't calm down. He really wanted to know how his relatives left and whether there was any way to avoid it.
But he had asked Tianjuan before, but Tianjuan didn't explain it very clearly. And many things happened later, so he didn't have time to ask.

However...suddenly he thought of the Emperor's Garden where he was inexplicably dragged into when the last Heavenly Scroll ended, and an idea came to him.
In that Imperial Garden, you should be able to ask any questions you want, as long as it appears.

"Biao'er said..." Empress Ma wiped the tears from her eyes again, "He sent Yunwen to Zhongdu, saying that he should study hard with the teacher and farm there, and experience the suffering of the people. If he doesn't learn well, he will not be allowed to return to the capital."

Biaoer is really a good brother, a good son, and a good father!
Zhu Yuanzhang also felt a little sad after hearing this. He was sure that if Biao'er had not died early, his Ming Dynasty would never have ended up like what was described in the Heavenly Scroll.

Therefore, now that the Hu party has been eliminated, the fourth brother has gone to the south to prepare for maritime trade, and even Yun Wen has been sent back to Zhongdu. Many crises mentioned in the heavenly scrolls have been temporarily alleviated.
Although Wang Baobao in the north is still trying to make a comeback, they have been harassing the north and the Ming Dynasty has been fighting against him, so there will not be any major crisis in the short term.
Now that he has his hands free, it's time to ask Tianjuan for advice on his health.

As he was thinking, he saw a flash of rainbow light in the sky, and the Heavenly Scroll appeared again.

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed, but when the Heavenly Scroll began this time, he was not eager to check the inventory of the Heavenly Scroll and the messages left over from the previous issue, but was concerned about the Emperor Garden he had joined last time.

At the end of the last time, before the Heavenly Scroll disappeared, the conversation between Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Taizong of Tang was like opening up a new world. He had been looking forward to the reappearance of the Heavenly Scroll for a long time, just wanting to try it out himself.

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes as he looked at the scroll. Then, without waiting for the voice in the scroll to sound, he whispered, "Where is the Emperor's Garden?"
As he spoke, a small window suddenly popped up in the lower right corner, with a few words written just above the window: Imperial Garden!
……

With a loud "bang", the newly cast cannon exploded again after only firing a few shots.
I don’t know how many cannons have been destroyed by explosions.

Looking at the mess on the ground, Ying Zheng looked grim.

Last time he asked about the cannon bursting problem, but unfortunately Tianjuan didn't answer him immediately. He didn't know if he could help him solve this problem this time.

He didn't have much time, and the artillery needed to be used urgently. He was very jealous of the young general Huo Qubing who conquered the Wolf's Lair in later generations. At that time, he wondered why it was not him or his Qin who conquered the Wolf's Lair.
Now that he has the opportunity of the Heavenly Scroll, he must not let history repeat itself.

As long as the problem of internal succession was solved, he didn't believe that his Qin cavalry could not defeat the Huns.
So this time he wanted to ask carefully how Wei Qing and Huo Qubing of later generations defeated the Huns.

Fenglangjuxu Mountain. When he heard the name, he never thought about being able to reach there. He only thought that the Huns were barbaric and warlike, and that a Great Wall needed to be built to keep them out.

But if the later generations could seal the wolf in the Xu, why couldn't he? Could it be that he could unify the six kingdoms with the generals of the Qin Dynasty, but couldn't defeat the Xiongnu?
If future generations can do it, he can do it too!
At this moment, as a rainbow light flashed across the sky, the Heavenly Scroll opened again.

[Hey, hello everyone, I am the up master Lei Xiaomeng. We meet again. Today we are going to start a new round of reviews. ]

[But before that, we have to answer a few questions left over from last time. The first one is about @一统六合万寿无疆祖龙皇. ]
[His question is: Why do my cannons always explode? Is there a solution? ]

Yes, this is the question. Ying Zheng immediately held his breath, stared at the sky without blinking, and waited quietly for Lei Xiaomeng's answer.

But at this moment, he heard a prompt sound, and then a place in the lower left corner of the scroll flashed, and a window appeared on the scroll.
Ying Zheng was stunned and couldn't help but read the words on the window: "Emperor's Garden?"

At this moment, a message popped up in the window of Emperor Garden:
[@子控凶残老父: Is the old lady here? I want to ask what disease my queen died of, and why my eldest grandson Zhu Xiongying died? And why did my Biaoer die again? Do you have a way to turn the bad into good? ]

Huh?
Seeing the news in the Imperial Garden, not only Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng, but also the emperors of other planes were surprised. At this time, Ying Zheng remembered that at the last moment, he had asked Emperor Taizong of Tang how to govern the country. Emperor Taizong of Tang almost responded.

But then the Heavenly Scroll disappeared very quickly and he did not get an answer.
But this time, it looked like the window could appear at any time. Does that mean that as long as the Heavenly Scroll existed, they could continue to exchange messages in the Imperial Garden, rather than just being limited to the ten items after the Heavenly Scroll was completed?

Interesting, this scroll is becoming more and more interesting.

[Regarding this issue, I searched a lot of information last night and this morning and found that it was mainly caused by too many metal impurities in the casting of the cannon, which led to uneven heating. ]

Uneven heating?
Qin Shi Huang withdrew his attention from the "Emperor's Garden" and frowned - it seemed that he had to change a new batch of blacksmiths, as these people were indeed the ones causing trouble.

[It was not easy to change this situation in the Qin Dynasty, because after all, the level of technological development of casting was limited at that time. I believe everyone has heard about the casting process of the two magic swords Gan Jiang and Mo Ye. 】

[According to legend, the two swords were never successfully cast, but the King of Chu urged them to do so. Finally, it was because Gan Jiang's wife Moye jumped into the burning casting furnace that the two swords were finally successfully cast.]

This story!
Ying Zheng had also heard of this legend. But now, Gan Jiang and Mo Ye were both in his palace, and he did not think they were much different from other famous swords.
As long as it is not the Sword of King Qin, other swords are just some sharper weapons. Even if they are worse, how bad can they be?
[Of course, legends are just legends and should not be taken seriously. But in fact, this legend confirms a saying that this phenomenon occurs because there is an element in the human body that can purify metals.]

[However, with the development of casting technology, this situation will naturally no longer occur. During the Qin Dynasty, bronze should be a relatively stable metal. ]
[For example, the famous Simuwu Large Square Ding was made in the Shang Dynasty. Wasn’t it also successful? ]
[The Shang Dynasty was a thousand years earlier than the Qin Dynasty! ]

[Now, the upmaster presents to His Majesty Zulong the "Detailed Explanation of Ancient Metal Purification and Forging" that he has collected with great effort. Take it, no thanks! ]

As the voice of Tianjuan just fell, Ying Zheng saw another window appear in the lower right corner. He immediately opened the file sent to him by Lei Xiaomeng and asked the calligrapher to record it quickly.
Ying Zheng's eyes sparkled - this heavenly scroll was indeed a divine object. Even if the nine gods in the sky could predict the past and the future, it was only like this!

When the video was playing, Lei Xiaomeng saw the Emperor Garden in the lower right corner flashing, which meant someone was chatting. But she didn't care to watch it for the time being, because the video entered the answer to the seventh message.

【@十全老人绘怪: Although Renzong was weak, he brought more than 40 years of peace. Renzong still had some achievements. After all, only with money can we take care of the national economy and people's livelihood and keep the people away from war! 】

It seems that this "graffiti freak" is a real fan of Renzong, and he really loves him thoroughly. It's a pity that this sentence was said by his grandfather and his father. If he said it himself, it would be suspected of saving his own reputation.

[Reply 1 @十全老人涂怪 Yes, yes, yes, you are right. It is just that the prosperity of the Song Dynasty has nothing to do with you, but the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty has a lot to do with you.] Qianlong looked at the scroll with a smug look on his face.
He could probably guess what Tianjuan was talking about. Naturally, he was praising the prosperity of his Qing dynasty and the fact that all nations came to pay tribute.

Although Tianjuan ridiculed his royal grandfather for a while when his grandfather asked him about it last time, in his heart, his royal grandfather was still unmatched.

But there is one thing that his royal grandfather can never match him. That is the wealth of his Qing Dynasty. Now the silver in his Qing Dynasty's treasury is several times more than that of his royal grandfather.

Thinking back then, my great-grandfather was worried about the money for the war. Now he wants to say to him: Why worry? Our Qing Dynasty has plenty of money now.
As for the Westerners mentioned by Tianjuan, he had also seen them. Although they looked different, they were respectful. The only difference was that their knees were different from those of the Qing people, so they could not kneel down.

Since their firearms are so powerful in the future, he has planned to buy some from them, ship them over, and then find skilled craftsmen to disassemble them. He will definitely be able to make his own cannons, or even more powerful ones.

As for those Western iron-clad ships, he could also buy a few of them, have them repainted with the emblem of the Qing Dynasty, and form a fleet to go out to sea. Wouldn't that be easier than building them on the spot?

When that time comes, he will want to see which tiny country dares to offend the Qing Dynasty!
Therefore, Qianlong did think of countermeasures, and some of his methods were even very reliable, but some of the things he did were really speechless.

[Reply 2: During your grandfather's time, the frontline was tight, so the treasury was tight, and the Qing Dynasty had no money left for other things. But by the time of Emperor Yongzheng, because Emperor Yongzheng was diligent and frugal, there was a lot of money left.]

Yes, that's exactly it.
Qianlong nodded.

[Reply 3 continued. However, when it comes to Qianlong, that is, you, you really love to spend money. You always go out incognito to travel around the south of the Yangtze River, and you spend a lot of money every time you go out. ]

[Reply 4: As a result, at the end of your administration, the national treasury began to be tight again.]

what?
After hearing Tianjuan's words, Qianlong's face looked a little ugly.

There's nothing wrong with going out incognito to understand the people's sentiments, right?
If he doesn't travel incognito, how can he know the sufferings of the people and whether the officials are honest? He can't be a deaf emperor or a blind emperor!
[Reply 5 continued: However, you still have a way to deal with the lack of money. So you left a great gift to your son, Emperor Jiaqing.]

A great gift? Hearing these two words, Qianlong was also very curious about what great gift he would leave for his son.

[Reply 6: The one who received this great gift is He Shen.]

Heshen?
Qianlong was stunned and looked at Heshen who was standing silently beside him.

Could it be that he wanted Heshen to help his son make money?
It is very likely that people had heard that Heshen had a good way of making money and had opened up many businesses in Beijing.

However, after saying this, Tianjuan paused deliberately before finally giving the answer.

[Reply 7: As soon as Qianlong died, Emperor Jiaqing confiscated Heshen's house. As the biggest corrupt official in the history of the Qing Dynasty, the property that Emperor Jiajing confiscated from Heshen's house was equivalent to the tax revenue of the Qing Dynasty for fifteen years! ]

What? It’s equivalent to fifteen years of tax revenue of the Qing Dynasty!
Qianlong looked at Heshen with eyes as sharp as a knife.
Heshen trembled and immediately knelt down.

[Speaking of which, Qianlong and Jiaqing were a pair of father and son who had a good understanding of each other. ]
[In fact, in the late Qianlong period, Heshen had already been impeached for corruption. But he did not touch him because no matter how much Heshen was greedy, it was still on the land of the Qing Dynasty. No matter how powerful he was, he could not leave the Qing Dynasty. ]

No matter how greedy you are, it is still on the land of our dynasty.
After hearing Tian Juan's words, the emperors of all planes understood it all at once.

Zhu Yuanzhang had just raided Hu Weiyong's house and felt that this statement made sense. You know, the wealth seized from Hu Weiyong's house was enough for his cavalry in the Northern Expedition to use for many years.
So, if sea trade cannot be started for a while, this is also a good solution...

Wait, can’t think about it anymore.
The Ming Dynasty was different from the Qing Dynasty. He was the founding emperor. If so many corrupt officials were found, wouldn't the people be disheartened? It would also be embarrassing for Zhu.
So this method must be used with caution, and use it with caution!

Even if this is really necessary, the charge cannot be corruption, but only treason.
Yes, it can only be treason!
But if there were too many officials plotting rebellion... Old Zhu stopped this more dangerous idea in time.

Therefore, it is safer to engage in maritime trade!

On Qianlong's side, the atmosphere changed subtly. Heshen, who had already knelt down to plead guilty, stiffened his back when he heard this, and actually looked up at the scroll. He also glanced at Qianlong's expression.

Although he only glanced at it for a moment and then quickly lowered his head, he could tell from just this one glance that the Emperor's expression was somewhat subtle.
He was never a stupid person. He understood the reason after a little thought and broke out in a cold sweat.

As expected, he then heard Tianjuan continue to say:
【Jiaqing was even more tolerant. Later, in order to avoid the taboo of his grandfather Kangxi's reign for sixty years, Qianlong became the emperor emeritus and abdicated the throne to his son Jiaqing in advance. 】

[At this time, although Qianlong was the emperor emeritus, he still had great power, and Jiaqing did not dare to disobey his father, so he only asked people to search for evidence secretly and was respectful to Heshen in public. ]

[This gave Heshen an illusion. Even if Qianlong died, he could still enjoy a high position and generous salary under Jiaqing.]

[It’s a pity that no matter how smart Heshen was, he was just a minister. He never expected that only thirteen days after Qianlong’s death, Emperor Jiaqing would announce more than twenty charges against him and have his house raided.]

Hearing this, Heshen shrank back and trembled even more violently.

really.
The Heavenly Family is so ruthless! He felt like a pig in the New Year. As soon as the time came, he would be pushed onto the slaughter table and become a dish at someone else's banquet.

Seeing this, Qianlong showed a smile on his face. He lowered his head and glanced at Heshen: "My dear, you really shouldn't be corrupt. Do you know how disappointed you are to me?"

"I am guilty, I am guilty!" Heshen raised his head and slapped his hands hard, "It's all my fault that I can't control my hands!"

He Shen lowered his head again: "Your Majesty, I am willing to donate all my property to help... help..."
As he spoke, He Shen glanced at the scroll and said, "Help my Qing Dynasty purchase artillery and ships from the West, help my Qing Dynasty train the navy, help... help the Maritime Customs build ships, help..."

These are the things Qianlong wants to do recently. Looking at the recent inventory of Tianjuan, it is impossible for him not to have some ideas. And Heshen is the best at guessing the emperor's mind, so each and every one of them is what Qianlong wants to do.

Seeing how considerate Heshen was, Qianlong was even more reluctant to kill him. After all, it is not easy to find someone in this world who understands you and works for you wholeheartedly.

Tianjuan was afraid that he had said one thing wrong. The reason why he did not touch Heshen at this time was not because he wanted to leave him to his son to establish his authority. Maybe he just didn't want him to die.
As long as he was alive and Heshen could accompany him, he would not be lonely.

But now...why did Tianjuan want to expose this matter?
How should he deal with Heshen?
At this moment, Tian Juan continued to say:
[It is said that in order to prevent Heshen from hiding his property and destroying the evidence, Emperor Jiaqing acted very quickly. Therefore, even though he had collected evidence of Heshen's crimes in advance, he still did not collect enough evidence because Heshen was cautious.]

[Even the soldiers who were confiscating Heshen's property rushed into Heshen's house. They knew that he had hidden a lot of treasures and gold and silver in his house, but they couldn't find any. They only found a small amount of property, which was not enough to convict Heshen.]

[Until a careful official discovered that the pillars in Heshen's house were thicker than ordinary pillars.]

【Then the officials who were confiscating Heshen's property chiseled open the pillars of his house. They then discovered that all the pillars in his house were made of gold bars! Then they searched according to this idea, and indeed found wealth that could rival a country! 】

After hearing what Tianjuan said, Heshen no longer knew how to continue pleading with Qianlong.

Qianlong looked at the scroll and sighed: "My dear, what do you think I should do?"
Heshen began to tremble violently again!
