Returning to Xianyang Palace, Zhu Houzhao said to Liu Jin: "Here come the food, I'm hungry!"

Liu Jin naturally did not dare to neglect and hurriedly went to greet people to get food. After following Zhu Houzhao for so long, Liu Jin would still be able to look at Zhu Houzhao's face. Of course, Zhu Houzhao's current expression even if he is not Liu Jin, even if he has never been in contact with Zhu Houzhao

People can also see that His Highness the Crown Prince is in a bad mood. No, it's not as simple as being in a bad mood, but very bad.

After the food was put on the table, Zhu Houzhao stretched out his hand to greet Wang Shouren and said, "Come, sit down and eat together!" As he said that, he picked up a piece of meat and took a bite.

Naturally, Wang Shouren had his own share of the meal. It was still necessary to share the meal at this time, otherwise Wang Shouren would not dare to stretch out his chopsticks.

After running around with Zhu Houzhao all morning, Wang Shouren was naturally hungry, so he sat down and started to eat without being polite. He ate and slept in silence. Neither of them spoke, and they concentrated on the food in front of them. This was also the rule.

It is beneficial because it allows people to eat well. Especially for those who accompany their leaders to eat, they focus entirely on eating and do not need to carefully serve their leaders anytime and anywhere.

After the meal was finished, the leftovers were removed, and the warm tea was brought up. Zhu Houzhao took a sip and then breathed a sigh of relief, and his face looked much better.

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Wang Shouren, and then said: "There's nothing going on. Aiqing, please go back and rest first!" After saying that, he turned around and left first. In fact, Zhu Houzhao really didn't know what to say. What's the good thing about the bad things in the morning?

What are you talking about? What can you and Wang Shouren talk about? Just stop talking. The more you talk, the more annoying you will be. Just go back and rest.

Wang Shouren was not surprised after hearing Zhu Houzhao's words. He also knew that the prince was in a bad mood, so he bowed and said, "I leave!"

As he walked outside, Wang Shouren pondered that although the current prince was only ten years old and had not shown any political leanings, today's behavior was actually a tendency. It was different from today's emperor, who was kind and a literati emperor.

Hard-working, down-to-earth, and generous, he was the perfect emperor in the eyes of civil servants. Apart from his physical condition, he had almost no other problems.

The prince in front of him is different. He is no longer physically strong, nor can he be described as brave. He is only ten years old and is proficient in archery, horse riding, and archery.

What people are good at is often what they like to use to solve problems. This principle has not changed since ancient times. People often think that if they solve problems with what they are good at, the success rate will be higher. This is the fact. Your Highness the Prince is good at

In martial arts, he is very brave and proficient in battle formations. It is impossible for such a prince to become a literary emperor.

This will be Emperor Wu. Emperor Wu usually likes to use violence to solve problems, whether it is Emperor Taizu who founded the Ming Dynasty or Emperor Taizong who later succeeded him.

From the founding of the Ming Dynasty, what the civil servants wanted was a literary emperor, not a military emperor. The military emperor could carry a knife, kill people, and slaughter literati like dogs. If the military commanders of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms had not killed literati too much, the Song Dynasty would not have ended.

Throughout the dynasty, they were always on guard against military generals and stomped them into the mud. The civil servants of the Ming Dynasty also wanted a civilized emperor. After so many years, they finally had results.

The current emperor is a literary emperor, and everyone hopes that the current prince will be the same. Some time ago, the prince studied hard and ranked among the best in various subjects, and the civil servants were very happy.

It's just that this time something happened, I'm afraid some people will be unhappy, but some people will be happy. In this world, there will always be people who like this, and then there will be people who will like that, and some will support His Royal Highness, such as myself.

Wang Shouren looked up at the sky, imagining what happened today. Wang Shouren thought this might be a good thing? The sky was blue, the sea was vast, the air was fresh, and he was in a good mood. Wang Shouren left the palace with a smile on his face. He knew that starting from today, Ming Dynasty was afraid that

It's going to be troublesome. But it's nothing. It's a good thing. Wang Shouren believes that this must be a good thing.

Great things are about to happen!

Of course Zhu Houzhao didn't know that Wang Shouren had thought so much, but Zhu Houzhao did it deliberately because he couldn't control his anger today.

In fact, by this time in the Ming Dynasty, the army was no longer useful. The Zhengde Emperor in history wanted to clean it up, but before he could finish it, the Zhengde Emperor died and was replaced by Jiajing. Jiajing abolished many policies of the Zhengde period to show that

Their own status and the military system reformed by Emperor Zhengde were abolished, and the Beijing camp was restored to the three major battalions of the period of Emperor Taizong and Zhu Di.

It can be said that this is going backwards. What is the result? The Ming Dynasty's army could not even defeat the Japanese pirates, and the Mongols fought all the way to the gates of Beijing.

When Emperor Zhengde was on the throne, the Ming Dynasty's national power began to rise and its military strength began to grow. Even with the Ning King's Rebellion, the Ming Dynasty still used the young Mongolian prince to fight.

Originally, Zhu Houzhao thought that the methods of Emperor Zhengde in history might have been too drastic, but now it seems that this was not too drastic but not drastic enough. After the Tumubao Incident, the Ming Dynasty's military power plummeted, and military households

The shortcomings of the system began to appear, and the armies in various parts of the Ming Dynasty were gradually reduced to the slaves of the generals. The civil servant group was getting bigger and bigger, the trend of surrender was prevalent, and land annexation was becoming increasingly severe. It was time for reform in the Ming Dynasty.

If we don't change things at this time, and if we don't use drastic measures, it will be even more difficult to deal with in the future. Facts have proved that there are many people who have this insight.

At the end of the Jiajing period, reform had already become a voice and a wave. Whether it was Gao Gong or Zhang Juzheng, they all held the banner of reform.

Even Zhu Houzhao knew that if the civil servants were asked to reform the civil servants, this kind of reform would not achieve any great results and could only be tinkering. If you want to attack the civil service group, there must be someone who supports the emperor and provides the emperor with a solution.

Daozi, these people are eunuchs, they are the most suitable to do this. This is what the cruel officials did during Wu Zetian's period, and eunuchs are this role.

In addition to eunuchs, you also need more support and more confidence. Who can give you this support and confidence? Of course it is a military commander. As long as you have military power in your hands and an army with powerful combat capabilities, you can

Only then do you have the courage to move.

Like Zhang Juzheng's reform, Zhu Houzhao felt that it was just scratching the surface and could not reach the point of scraping the bones to cure the poison. Naturally, there was no way to talk about rebirth. The only one who had a thorough reform was Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty.
