Chapter 2272, those years, those people, those things 2

In the attic on Xiangshan Mountain in the Old Summer Palace, Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jin were sitting opposite each other, drinking tea and chatting together. From time to time, the cheerful smiles of the two came. It can be seen that they were having a happy chat.

This made the little eunuchs who were serving Emperor Hongzhi on the side also showed happy expressions. They had not seen Emperor Hongzhi so happy for a long time.

At this moment, Liu Jin and Emperor Hongzhi were like old friends who had not seen each other for many years. They sat together and chatted very happily. Of course, Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jin were now old friends, and were once between kings and ministers. After Emperor Hongzhi abdicated, they gradually became relationships between friends.

"Haha, I really miss the experience of our trip to Southeast Asia, to Australia, Golden Island, and traveling around the Pacific Ocean!"

Emperor Hongzhi listened to Liu Jin's conversation about the customs and customs around the world, and suddenly he missed the experience of traveling around the Pacific with Liu Jin.

At that time, Emperor Hongzhi suddenly became interested. Regardless of the opposition of the ministers, he directly handed over the important affairs of the court to Zhu Houzhao and Wang Shouren to deal with. He and Liu Jin happily went out for more than a year.

This is also the first time in the true sense that Emperor Hongzhi has given up everything and devoted himself to traveling.

Of course, that time I had a great time and had a great time having a great time.

Emperor Hongzhi truly felt the prosperity and vastness of the Ming Dynasty, and also witnessed many unique animals, specialties, etc. in Australia, Golden Continent, and the South China Sea.

Now listening to Liu Jin's experience of traveling around the world over the past decade, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but want to travel around the world again.

He casually asked someone to bring a chair, sat next to the coffee table, looked at the scenery in front of him and said, "Time flies so fast. In this blink of an eye, twelve years have passed."

For this era, being able to live to nearly 80 years old is already a long life, thanks to the Ming Medical College founded by Liu Jin, which greatly improved the medical level of the Ming Dynasty. The invention of penicillin directly increased the average life expectancy of the Ming Dynasty for twenty years.

The government and the country still need Wang Shouren to support it, and Zhu Houzhao's body is not good either. He is too lustful and has already emptied his body. His body is getting worse day by day, and he often cannot attend morning court. All matters are subject to big and small reliance on cabinet ministers headed by Wang Shouren and the six ministers of the ministries to deal with it.

This is the reason why Zhu Houzhao often gets sick. And if he continues for a long time, his body can't stand it. Even the strong man can't stand it. Since ancient times, there have been only exhausted cows, and there are no broken fields.

"Haha, I have no essence. Of course, I have to rely on you who are capable and capable."

Just then, a familiar voice came.

Zhu Houzhao quickly waved his hand, then looked at Liu Jin carefully and said, "Time is not forgiving people. Liu Jin and Liu Zhuangyuan, who had fascinated many girls in the capital back then, turned into an old man in a blink of an eye."

Over the years, Emperor Hongzhi has actually been summarizing his past gains and losses, especially during the years of blindness. Emperor Hongzhi could not do anything else, and could only keep recalling, recalling every bit of the past, and after careful consideration.

"Yes, that was an unforgettable experience!"

It’s not just a matter of lust, but the key is that you are also taking tiger and wolf medicine, which will greatly hollow out his body and make his body weaker and weaker.

Otherwise, it would be rare to be seventy years old, which means that in ancient times, it was already rare to be able to move at the age of seventy.

If it were other emperors, Liu Jin would probably not dare to reform boldly, because since ancient times, the reformers have not ended well.

"Life is sometimes good to live for yourself."

Looking at Zhu Houzhao in front of him, he is already in his fifties. He is very thin, has a poor skin color, is not in good spirits, and has a dark face. You can tell at a glance that it is caused by long-term addiction to alcohol and sex. Alcohol and sex harm his body. His physical condition is even worse than that of himself.

Liu Jin smiled and shook his head.

"His Majesty!"

Until Liu Jin appeared, he always looked at Liu Jin silently. At the beginning, Emperor Hongzhi did not support many policies. For example, the morning court system was supposed to get up very early, but Liu Jin changed it, postponed it for several hours, and even issued a rest system.

It was also the lazy person Liu Jin who assisted him that Emperor Hongzhi not only lived a comfortable life, but also had the time and energy to seriously think about major events related to the Ming Dynasty.

So Emperor Hongzhi also sighed, lamenting that Liu Jin was able to live clearly, and sometimes it was good to live for himself.

"I am just a lazy person. Fortunately, your Majesty you appreciated me back then, and gave me the opportunity to display what I learned, be loyal to Your Majesty, do something for the Ming Dynasty, and do something for our great nation with many disasters."

Things like this consumed the most energy and mind of Emperor Hongzhi, which made Emperor Hongzhi very painful for a while, and felt deeply sorry for the previous emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Hongzhi immediately laughed.

"In my opinion, you are the true emperor of the ages. I have had many famous emperors in China for thousands of years. Your Majesty, you can be called the emperor of the ages!"

Every year, I can only watch the Tartars go south repeatedly, rob and return with a full load.

Even as the emperor, when I want to do something, I am always opposed by the ministers. I want to impose commercial taxes, and all the ministers jump out to oppose it, such as tying taxes, people's life is in vain, etc.

There are no regrets in this life. The things that have been reorganized have been completed, and only my own personal autobiography has not been written yet. You can write this slowly when you find a place to retire in the future.

Zhu Houzhao also dealt with it casually. In fact, everyone knows that Zhu Houzhao just said this, and it was impossible for him to change it, and it was useless to say it.

The reason why I decided to let go of everything and travel was actually because of Liu Jin's thoughts. I was very tired and tired for the Ming Dynasty, so I also rested and rested for myself.

I was not fascinated by power and clearly planned my life.

The Ming Dynasty was missing, and everyone was the same, so they chose to retreat from a high position, and lived their own life freely. They visited all over the world for more than ten years.

However, in front of Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jin, he did not put on an air of his own emperor, not calling me, but calling himself me. He also treated Liu Jin as his old friend.

This is how life is. When you are strong, you are often unintentional, and when you are intent, you are often powerless again.

Liu Jin's flattery was very enjoyable, but he also knew that this was inseparable from Liu Jin's assistance.

Liu Jin looked at Emperor Hongzhi, of course he knew very clearly that Emperor Hongzhi also wanted to go around the world, but in the past, he couldn't see clearly because his eyes couldn't see clearly.

Only in this way can one live out one’s true self and oneself.

He knew that Liu Jin would come back today, so he ended the morning court early. At the same time, he didn't even hold a small meeting today. He hurried to the Old Summer Palace to meet Liu Jin.

In general, it means that you have done what you want to do at your right age, and you have no regrets in your life.

It was a very long period of time. Every day there were endless memorials and endless discussions. I was often busy until late at night and there were still a large number of memorials that had not been finalized.

After the eyes recovered, they were old and their health was no longer good. If they wanted to go out again, they would be powerless.

He could only watch the border defenses were empty and the military was deflated. The Ming Dynasty had hundreds of thousands of troops, but there was no way to deal with the Tatars in the north.

Forget it, just be busy. The key is that it is very exhausting to worry about national affairs, especially when the Ming Dynasty was in trouble at the beginning. Many times Emperor Hongzhi felt that even if he was the emperor, he was powerless. He obviously wanted to work hard to do a lot of things, but he just couldn't do it well, and he was very helpless.

"Haha, this is not your credit. Without Liu Jin's assistance, I can't imagine everything behind it."

"Your Majesty, your complexion is much worse. You must take care of the dragon body. My Ming Dynasty depends on you!"

Liu Jin also nodded solemnly. After twelve years of separation, how many twelve years can this life be?

His health is not good, even if Emperor Hongzhi wants to go out, he can only keep recalling the scenes when he traveled around the Pacific Ocean. From it, he can also feel the scenes when Liu Jin was traveling around the time.

Liu Jin nodded with a smile.

When Liu Jin heard this, he quickly stood up and saluted Zhu Houzhao respectfully.

"Okay, Liu Jin, you are back and you don't come to see me first. You actually ran to my father's place first."

But Zhu Houzhao in front of him was so bad.

Emperor Hongzhi was even more convinced that he was actually a very failed emperor. The only correct choice was to support Liu Jin and support Liu Jin's reforms. This led to the current good situation of the Ming Dynasty and the current prosperity and prosperity. Otherwise, the Ming Dynasty would not know what it would become.

"We should not have some clichés between us."

The Tartars went south every year to detain the military affairs, but they wanted to rectify the military affairs, but the court had no money. They finally took some money out of their own treasury, but in the end they were eaten by the officials without leaving any left, and they could not reach the hands of the lower-level officers and soldiers.

"Yes, we haven't seen each other for twelve years."

"Turn our Ming Dynasty, which was originally internal and external troubles, has the greatest empire with the vast territory, the largest population, the most developed economy and the most powerful military in the world!"

This is the nature of nature. As the saying goes, the country is easy to change and the nature is difficult to change. This is what is said.

The memorials of the emperor should be concise and simple, and should be blunt and tell the key points directly. Don’t send small things to waste everyone’s precious time.

"Forgive, forgive!"

Liu Jin was very glad that he made his decision. When he was in his fifties, he went around the world while he was still healthy, and had seen the beautiful mountains, tasted the food from all over the country, felt the customs and customs of all over the place, etc.

This is also a very important reason why Liu Jin dared to do things boldly. If it were Zhu Houcan, the emperor who claimed to be smart but actually had no great wisdom, would definitely have to be trembling and dare not think about reforms or something.

Now that I think about it, Liu Jin is actually the person who lives the most vivid way, living for himself, not all for work or other people.

Emperor Hongzhi thought about it and said.

Of course, this is obviously not shown, because Emperor Hongzhi's current body is really not good, he is too old, and the congenital poor health caused by his childhood experiences, and later he treated intestinal abscess and had surgery, etc.

In the eyes of Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jin was a lazy person. He didn't like memorials, went to morning courts, and liked to live his own life.

"Your Majesty, don't make fun of me anymore. I'm so old now, the old man is one."

For Emperor Hongzhi, who had no experience and was not very experienced, this naturally ended up in the end, and he could only watch the situation continue to decay but could not do anything about it.

But Liu Jin dared to say that Emperor Hongzhi was generous and kind, because Emperor Hongzhi could provide a guarantee for himself, and he didn't have to worry about being killed by Emperor Hongzhi in the future.

After hearing this, Hongzhi immediately laughed again.

Once a person's body becomes weak and has weak resistance, various diseases will naturally follow.

But Emperor Hongzhi also has his own personal charm. He is generous and kind, and he also likes and values ​​wise people, so he can give his ministers the greatest support and kindness.

At the same time, you can have time to live for yourself, do things you like and want to do.

"Your Majesty, you are modest!"

Liu Jin immediately smiled awkwardly and said.

Liu Jin smiled and said to Emperor Hongzhi.

Liu Jin smiled and said, "I don't wear any clothes on this, even the emperor likes to listen to these words."

Like Lao Wang, he was two years younger than Emperor Hongzhi, and now his health is getting worse day by day. He often missed the morning court and had been asking Emperor Zhengde for kindness to return to his hometown to retire.

Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao is here.

The most important thing is that when Emperor Hongzhi was the emperor, he was diligent, very diligent, and worked hard in state affairs. These have made Emperor Hongzhi's health almost the same time now.
