[But your cleverness calmed you down, and you remained calm and did not say anything about this abnormality.]
[Originally, you planned to wait until you returned to the capital before making any plans. Unexpectedly, on your way back, a man stood up, holding a white porcelain bowl, and said to you: "Long live my Lord, it's time to drink medicine."]
[You are a little confused. You are already strong. You just fell into the water. There is no need to drink medicine. 】
[I wanted to refuse directly, but when you saw the strange guard next to you slowly walking towards you with an unkind expression, you understood. 】
[You know that this medicine must be poisoned, but you have to drink it. If you drink it, you will wait until you die. If you don’t drink it, you will die on the spot.]
[With grief and anger in your heart, you picked up the poisoned medicine and drank it in one gulp. Then the guards with ulterior motives beside you slowly retreated. 】
[You didn’t die suddenly on the spot, but your health is getting worse day by day, and your every move is monitored by these people at any time.]
[You know that you can’t last much longer, but you are prepared to find out who is plotting against you and eradicate all these people before you die!]
Zhu Di was furious!
presumptuous!
To assassinate the king and kill him! To force the emperor to drink poison, how outrageous is this!
But Zhu Di quickly calmed down and thought about who was behind the scenes.
While Zhu Di was thinking, Zhu Houzhao was also thinking.
He doesn't have much time, he must hurry up and find out the person behind it!
[On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, you still held on and presided over the grand ceremony in the southern suburbs. When you were performing the first ceremony, you bowed down to worship heaven and earth. Suddenly, you vomited blood and collapsed to the ground. You could not get up anymore, so the ceremony had to be terminated. 】
[And at this time, your shadow attendants are back. The loyal and capable shadow attendants finally found out the whole story and found out the real culprit behind the assassination of Wang Shajia! 】
[This is a long-planned assassination of the king!]
[Even Prince Ning’s rebellion was controlled by them behind the scenes!]
[Before the army was launched, Prince Ning Zhu Chenhao openly recruited troops and used the Jiangxi Office in Beijing to win over ministers. No one was alert to such arrogant behavior. In the end, someone even reported it to the cabinet, reminding the cabinet that Prince Ning was rebelling. Brother,
Is there no one to pay attention to it? However, the cabinet ignored it.】
【Because, they took money from Prince Ning.】
[From Yang Yiqing, an important minister of the imperial court, to Yang Tinghe, the chief minister of the cabinet, everyone was watching with cold eyes. While collecting King Ning's money to cover for King Ning's rebellion, they were waiting for opportunities and digging holes step by step. King Ning just threw them out.
After using the bait, their real purpose is to change the emperor!】
[Since Emperor Zhengde is disobedient, then change him to an obedient emperor!]
[Your heart is freezing, because behind this incident, there is actually your own teacher Yang Tinghe!]
[Although you have battled wits and courage with Yang Tinghe for so many years, the relationship between the two of you still retains the teacher-student relationship. 】
[You finally know why Yang Tinghe looked at him with such complicated eyes when he went to Jiangnan to suppress the rebellion. 】
[Shadow Attendant asks you if you want to take action immediately to kill all these rebellious officials and traitors! 】
[You waved your hands with a dark expression. The Shadow Attendant is the emperor’s trump card. Even the civil servants did not expect that the emperor had such a trump card in his hand, an elite murderous army. This is also the emperor’s confidence to set the table.]
[But in the end, you still did not use the Shadow Warrior to take revenge, because you know that these people will be killed endlessly. After killing Yang Tinghe, killing Yang Yiqing, and killing all the serving civil servants in this dynasty, there will be a steady stream of people.
Come up.]
[This is a hidden danger left over from the Tumubao Incident, and it cannot be cured at all.]
[You are tired. You have been fighting with these civil servants all your life, and in the end you lost your life in the fight.]
[You chuckled. In this chaos of assassinating the king and killing the king, the only real loyal minister is Mr. Wang Yangming, who is at odds with me. How sad.]
[On March 14, the 16th year of Zhengde, you were already in a dying state. At the last moment, you said to the eunuch, the eunuch who was responsible for the ceremony: "My illness is probably hopeless. Tell the Empress Dowager for me about the great events in the world."
As a matter of priority, everything must be discussed with the cabinet ministers first. Everything that went wrong in the past was my fault alone and has nothing to do with anyone else."]
[You have never surrendered to the civil servants in your life, but in this last moment, you have surrendered to the civil servants.]
[You are warning the future emperors of the Zhu family to stop fighting with civil servants. If you can't fight, the Ming Dynasty has already been ruined. You have been completely disappointed with this country.]
[After speaking, you died in the Leopard Room at the age of thirty-one.]
[Zhu Houzhao’s emperor life simulation ends.]
Zhu Di's heart dropped.
Zhu Houzhao, an emperor who once commanded the legendary Battle of Yingzhou, led the weak Ming army to force the Mongolian army back, and gained decades of peace and tranquility on the northern border of the Ming Dynasty, died like this?
What made him even more angry was that a mere civil servant dared to assassinate the king!
Zhu Houzhao's life pales in comparison to the trends of the times.
Even though he has a strong character and is unyielding;
Even if he once went on a personal expedition and returned victorious;
Even if he beat the enemies of Ming Dynasty for decades so that they would not dare to invade;
But he is only one person after all. This is the tragedy of the empire and the tragedy of the times.
In such an era where culture was emphasized but military was suppressed, Zhu Houzhao was doomed to a lonely and miserable ending.
What is he fighting for?
He was competing with the civil servants and scholars all over the world, but he was alone, and finally ended sadly.
…
In the Wenhua Hall, Zhu Gaojie was drinking tea leisurely.
The official from the Ministry of Industry said cautiously: "Your Majesty, this is the schedule for the canal to be sent to Shuntian Prefecture for the construction of the palace made by the Ministry of Industry in the second half of this year. Can you see if there is anything wrong..."
Zhu Gaojie waved his hand and said boldly: "No need to read, just stamp it and pass it."
Lu Zhen, the Minister of Rites, asked: "Your Majesty, this is the schedule for the New Year's Eve Ceremony prepared by the Ministry of Rites. Please take stock of it. If there are any mistakes, we will make corrections..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhu Gaojie said directly: "I can rest assured that Mr. Lu is doing something, I will stamp it and pass it directly!"
The official from the Ministry of Civil Affairs said: "Your Majesty, this is the personnel transfer for various government offices in Huguang that will be prepared at the end of the year. Do you think this arrangement will work..."
Zhu Gaojie stretched his waist and said, "What are you looking at? The seal is approved!"
"..."
The officials working in the Wenhua Hall suddenly discovered that life at work was so beautiful!
When I submitted documents before, I pressed them here and there. It was obviously a simple report, but it often took me several months to go around and do some useless work before it could be implemented.
After it was implemented, the flowers that people waited for all withered, and the leaves of the trees withered.
However, since the immediate boss has been replaced by King Qi, don't talk about so many useless and redundant regulations, just four big words - "Adopted and approved"
The work burden is directly reduced dozens of times!
Zhu Gaojie himself was not worried about causing trouble due to negligence. After all, the civil servants in Yongle's dynasty were still capable of doing some personnel work. The emperor's daily northern tours and expeditions, and the normal operation of the country depended on these civil servants and the East Palace. If
They were just like the later generations, and their heads were chopped off by Zhu Di and rolled all over the floor!
Although the bachelors in the cabinet were still a little pedantic at heart, they were still very useful under the various restrictions on civil servants in the early Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Gaojie does not seek to be good at what he can do, but he seeks to have no faults.
Although he didn't know why the old man did such a crazy thing and pushed him to the position of supervising the country, Zhu Gaojie knew in his heart that if he continued to be like this, the next person the old man could chop with his sword would be Prince Qi's Mansion.
The prince had already been stabbed because he became more powerful, and Zhu Gaojie didn't want to be stabbed like this himself.
For a capable person, the most important thing after standing in a high position is not to try every means to shine, but to carefully observe the distance between himself and his immediate boss. Too much will be hurt, too little will be debilitating.
If Zhu Gaojie really wanted to express himself, wouldn't it be nice to just substitute Ying Zheng, Li Shimin and others?
When Zhu Gaojie thought of this, his balls ached.
Damn, Zhu Di is such an unfilial father!
Why do you have to deal with so many things? Do you have to cheat your own son to feel comfortable?
"Where's Mr. Yang? Call Mr. Yang over to me."
Zhu Gaojie suddenly remembered something and said to the young eunuch serving next to him.
The young eunuch was a little confused: "Your Majesty, which Mr. Yang are you talking about?"
Zhu Gaojie waved his hand and said: "That's who it is, cabinet bachelor Yang Rong and Yang Mianren (Yang Rong's courtesy name is Mianren). Call him over to the king."
"Oh oh." The little eunuch then realized and hurriedly followed Prince Qi's instructions to call for someone.
Zhu Gaojie touched his chin, thinking that he was eating and drinking here every day and doing nothing. It was really unjustifiable. He had to find someone to pretend for him.
Yang Rong is good at making decisions and his abilities are guaranteed. It is most suitable for him to hold his seal for him.
As for Yang Rong's secret identity as a princeling... Zhu Gaojie didn't care too much.
Anyway, what he did was not something shameful. Even if Yang Rong was a member of the Han Dynasty Party, he had no influence on Zhu Gaojie.
…
"What? King Qi asked me to come over and help?" Yang Rong was shocked when he learned about this.
What does this mean?
The relationship between him and King Qi is not that good. Before the Northern Expedition, the two had some minor conflicts that were not conflicts. Now that King Qi is supervising the country, he calls him over to help with things. This is Yang Rongwanwan's fault.
Unexpected.
[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is currently Yeguo Reading, install the latest version on yeguoyuedu.]
And Yang Rong has never been optimistic about King Qi. Although King Qi has made great achievements on the battlefield and is as powerful as Lu Bu's possessed body, Yang Rong still does not think highly of King Qi.
In his mind, the only person he was optimistic about was the prince, because only when the prince ascended the throne could the status of civil servants like them rise.
As for King Qi, he is more inclined to the military general faction.
"What does King Qi mean? Why did he let me go there... Could it be," Yang Rong was spinning on the spot, thinking to himself: "He wants to separate me from the prince... No, no one except His Highness the prince.
Knowing that I am actually a princeling, there is no way that King Qi would know about this."
"Even if King Qi has never thought about this and does not know this, if I go to help him now, won't it make His Highness the Crown Prince suspicious?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so kind that he wouldn't care about this at all if you think about it... That should be it."
