Chapter 91 Emperor Jiajing: What the hell are you all? (5.6K please subscribe!)
"Master Immortal, can you take us to see Jiajing first?"
Facing the scorching eyes of the three Zhu Di's looking at him.
Ji Boying was silent.
Because it's part of his plan.
The emperors of the Ming Dynasty are divided into three periods: the first, middle and last periods. The god Jiajing is a mid-term player, and before Jiajing there are three talents, Zhengde, Hongzhi and Chenghua, who did not appear in the show.
According to Ji Boying's established recruitment process, he should not have had any contact with the Jiajing Immortal at this time.
Even the Dengzhou guards who came to Jiajing time and space this time were just because they wanted to show the emperor and princes the situation of the military garrison in Jiajing Dynasty.
After all, in the Ming Dynasty during the Jiajing period, the garrison system had come to an end in practical terms, and the recruitment system dominated the rise of the empire's combat power.
But with Old Zhu Di, Zhu Laosi and Xiao Zhusi now looking at them with such eager eyes, if I forcibly disobey these three, I am afraid that I will be passive and sabotage, and my interest in learning will be reduced. p>
Since then, the purpose of improving the country according to one's own needs must be bad.
In this case, we can only work hard for the Jiajing Immortal for the time being.
"Well, when the period of observing military camps is over, we will go to the Forbidden City in the Jiajing Dynasty."
As soon as these words came out, Lao Zhu Di and Zhu Laosi's eyes lit up, and their fists creaked.
Xiao Zhusi's eyes are even more eager. He is the youngest. Half of them want to beat Jiajing, and half of them simply want to join in the fun.
"I want to go too!"
The three Zhu Gaochi spoke almost at the same time.
Even Jianwen Zhu Gaochi, who had always had a very low presence in the class, had a small fire burning in his eyes at this time.
To remove my god is to dig my grave!
Digging graves! Who can bear it?!
If you don’t break a few of your front teeth today, it will be difficult to understand the hatred in my fat heart.
"Well, let's all go."
Ji Boying nodded.
Anyway, having one more person and one less person actually makes no difference to me. The biggest difference in experience is Jiajing.
"Meet Emperor Renzongzhao."
"Meet Emperor Xuanzongzhang."
Qi Jiguang, who is harmless to humans and animals, does not know what he has triggered with his words, nor does he know what the consequences will be if Jiajing knows that it was him who made the words. Qi Taibao just continues to immerse himself in saluting.
Anyway, the moment he knew that these ghost-like guys were really the previous emperors, he felt completely at ease.
When Wang on the side saw this, even though she had some guesses about the identity of Lao Zhu and others, she was extremely shocked and quickly followed her husband to kneel down and salute.
"Yeah."
"Get up."
Ji Boying stood in front of the emperors and spoke calmly.
His words can naturally represent the imperial edict of the Emperor's Crown Prince Group.
"Thank you, Immortal Lord."
Qi Jiguang helped his wife stand up slowly.
"Tell your late emperors everything about the Dengzhou Guards. Don't tell your ancestors anything."
Qi Jiguang took a deep breath.
"Yes."
After a moment of mental preparation and logic, Qi Jiguang spoke.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, there are 5,600 registered military households in the Dengzhou Guard Station, and there are more than 1,500 households remaining, all of which are stationed soldiers."
As soon as the words came out, it can be seen that the serving emperors, Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu Di, Zhu Laosi, Emperor Hongxi, and Emperor Xuande, frowned the most.
According to the ancestral system regulations set by Hongwu, a coastal defense post like the Dengzhou Guard must always ensure that 30% of its troops are combat forces that can be mobilized at any time to cope with wars that may occur at any time.
However, it can be seen from Qi Jiguang's words that 10% of the military households in Dengzhou Guard are farming, so why are they fighting?!
Moreover, the size of the first guard should be 5,600 people, but now there are only more than 1,500 people left, and the escape rate has reached 70%, and this is still at the border guard station.
It’s hard to imagine what the situation is like in the inland health centers. Perhaps it is as the immortal master said before, not even one out of ten.
The expressions of the emperors were serious, which made Qi Jiguang a little uneasy for a while.
"It's okay, keep talking."
"Not only in terms of numbers, but also the farming situation within your Dengzhou Guard, as well as the recent battle situation of the Dengzhou Guard, can be reported in full. There must be no omissions or concealment."
Ji Boying could see that Qi Jiguang was a little panicked.
After all, Qi Jiguang at this moment is just a little guard who has just inherited his father's position. He is only in his early twenties and is far less smooth than he will be after he hooks up with Zhang Juzheng.
In front of these Ming emperors, I must have been a little timid.
"Yes, Immortal Master."
After taking a deep breath and calming down a little, Qi Jiguang continued to speak.
"The Dengzhou Guard Station has more than 200,000 acres of farmland, 80% of which has been annexed by military attaches of all ranks and local gentry. There are less than 500 military households in the station who have their own land, and the remaining 1,000 military households have become the property of these military attaches and gentry.
Tenant."
"As for the battle situation."
At this point, Qi Jiguang did not care about the disrespect before the emperor, and there was anger in his eyes.
"In recent years, pirates have become more and more rampant, but the commander of the guards has avoided fighting and allowed the pirates to land and plunder the people. The most shameful thing is that after the pirates have finished looting, they send troops to chase and kill one or two people.
If you are a pirate, you just need to report it and claim credit."
"I repeatedly gave advice, but none of it was adopted, so I was assigned to manage this military camp."
Having said this, Qi Jiguang was extremely unhappy.
After all, managing a military camp means being the steward of grain production for these powerful people.
"Okay, go do what you should do. You are still young and have a bright future. I will see you again in the future.
After Ji Boying finished speaking, he waved his hand.
Qi Jiguang actually wanted to say something more, but he had been holding it back for the past few years.
But the immortal master had already spoken, so naturally he couldn't open his mouth again. He could only bow to the emperors and leave with his wife.
"Did you all hear clearly?"
"This is the current situation of military settlements more than a hundred years later."
Ji Boying swept across all the emperors and princes.
This feeling is very different from Ji Boying's speech alone in class.
No matter how much you say, it’s better to go see it with your own eyes and listen to it with your own ears.
Lao Zhu's face has turned completely dark.
More than 80% of the military camp land is in the hands of military attaches and gentry. The military camp land that should belong to 5,600 households actually only belongs to 500 households, and less than 10% is in the hands of military households.
The guardhouse that was supposed to protect the people allowed the people to be robbed and even lied about their military exploits.
Any item falling into Lao Zhu’s ears was like stabbing his heart with a knife.
"These bastards, we're going to cut them all up!"
Lao Zhu was furious.
What he said is really not a lie.
If this had been the case in any guard post in the Hongwu Dynasty, all the military attaches from the guard commander to Xiaoqi would have been wiped out by Lao Zhu's sword.
"When I listened to the immortal master's lectures before, I had never felt this way. I didn't expect that the harm done to Wei Suo would be so devastating. We can't bear to be sorry for the people of future generations."
Old Zhu Di took a deep breath.
Thinking about it from the perspective of these border guards, life is indeed miserable. First they were robbed by pirates, and then they had to be squeezed again by these military attaches and gentry.
It’s a rough life today.
"If the system is not reformed, the Ming Dynasty will eventually fall to Weisuo."
Emperor Xuande pinched his goatee and said in a calm voice.
"Ancestral system, ancestral system, military settlements should not be designated as ancestral system."
Emperor Hong Xi, who seemed honest and honest, suddenly opened his mouth and meant something.
These words fell into Lao Zhu's ears, and Lao Zhu's face became even darker.
The immortal master said that I am a scumbag, but I said that I am not good at it. How can you, the grandson of a turtle, say such a thing?!
We, Lao Zhu, are so shameless?!
Ji Boying glanced at Lao Zhu, who had a sulky look in his eyes. He had already made an operation on Lao Zhu's heart anyway, so it didn't matter if he sprinkled some salt on it.
The deeper the injury, the more profound the reflection.
"Dengzhou Guard is affiliated to the Border Guard Station, and is threatened by pirates. In order to survive, it will barely maintain a certain combat strength, otherwise it will be targeted by pirates."
"As for the inland garrison, there has been no war for many years, and the situation is several times worse."
Lao Zhu's heart was pounding with blood, and he subconsciously rubbed his heart.
If you keep talking, you really have a glass heart.
"Okay, now that we've seen the actual situation of the military camp, let's go back and continue the class."
"When you see the shortcomings, you have to change them."
Ji Boying was just about to take people back to Hongwu.
"Master Immortal, wait a minute. Could it be that Master Immortal has forgotten what he just promised me to wait for?"
Old Zhu Di stepped forward and subconsciously held Ji Boying's arm.
"Oh."
"I remembered."
After being told by Qi Jiguang, Ji Boying almost forgot about going to see the gods.
"In that case, let's go there."
"Excuse me, Master Immortal, please wait."
Jianwen and Zhu Laosi spoke repeatedly.
I looked around, then walked a few steps forward, stood on a high field ridge and looked around. Finally I seemed to have discovered something, my face lit up, and I walked quickly over.
When he came back, he had a solid wooden pole in his hand.
This shoulder pole was used by military households to pick up seedlings in the fields. They would not take it away after normal work, but would throw it randomly on the edge of the fields.
After all, I was in trouble all the time, and I never thought that anyone would be so immature as to steal my own pole.
When they saw the pole in Zhu Laosi's hand, Old Zhu Di and Xiao Zhusi also reacted. They quickly scanned the surrounding area, locked on their favorite poles, and quickly stepped forward and came back.
When the three Zhu Gaochi saw this, they followed suit.
Maybe not long after, there will be six men in this field looking up to the sky and roaring: Who the hell stole my pole!
"Father, don't you want one?"
Lao Zhu Di looked at Lao Zhu, and was very attentive to hand the pole in his hand to Lao Zhu.
Lao Zhu shook his head slightly and refused.
For Lao Zhu, this is a grudge between future generations, and he, an ancestor, will not get involved.
"Brother, do you want me?"
"I remember you were very happy when you beat Zhu Qizhen before. People, you can't hold yourself back all the time. Sometimes you have to let yourself go."
Zhu Laosi also handed the pole in his hand to A Biao, and A Biao waved his hands repeatedly.
"Fourth, I won't join in the fun."
He attacked Zhu Qizhen in Tianshun time and space because Zhu Qizhen lost power and humiliated the country. However, Jiajing had something to do with him. If we really talk about it, they are not his direct descendants.
Ji Boying thought for a moment about the current Jiajing Immortal.
‘Twenty-five years of Jiajing.’
‘The immortal here should have not been in court for three or four years.’
During the Ming Dynasty, when talking about people who did not go to court, the first thing that came to mind was the old man Wanli.
But in fact, when it comes to simply going to court, Mr. Wanli really shouldn't take the blame, because the trend of not going to court started with Chenghua Emperor Zhu Jianshen.
Even Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youtang, a well-known Mediterranean model worker, only began to attend court in Wenhua Palace in the tenth year of Hongzhi. Of course, going to court and managing politics are two different things, and they need to be discussed separately.
Later, Zhengde and Jiajing gradually carried forward this tradition until Mr. Wanli broke through the Mahayana.
However, Jiajing still went to court in the beginning, and he was very diligent, so he almost didn’t attend the afternoon court.
After all, the vassal king ascended the throne and his foundation was not stable, so he had to resort to violence. Especially in the first ten years, he had to have big discussions with ministers at court meetings every now and then to fight for his father's title of emperor.<
/p>
This diligence lasted until the 21st year of Jiajing. This year, things changed.
One dark and windy night, Yang Jinying and a dozen other maids quietly entered Emperor Jiajing's palace while Emperor Jiajing was sleeping, and wrapped a yellow silk cloth around Emperor Jiajing's slippery neck. These maids could not tie knots.
The palace maid almost sent the Jiajing Immortal to see Yuanshi Tianzun in advance.
This night is known in history as the Renyin Palace Incident, a unique uprising of palace ladies in five thousand years of history.
It was also after this night that the Jiajing Immortal began to stay in the palace all day long and never went to court again. Except for the cabinet bachelor, all other ministers disappeared.
Regarding this bizarre Renyin palace incident, there are many theories in various versions of history books, including conspiracy theories and direct theories.
The direct theory is very simple. In order to cultivate immortality, Jiajing, an immortal, did not know which magician told him that adding a girl's blood of Yue Xin to the elixir would make him immortal.
It sounds disgusting.
But Jiajing just believed it.
Immediately, Jiajing recruited many girls around the age of thirteen from all over the country to enter the palace, and began to use their Yuexin blood to refine elixirs.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Maybe Jiajing also thought this stuff was a little tasteless, so in order to get clean Yue Xin blood, Jiajing ordered these palace ladies to only eat mulberry leaves and drink dew, and other food was not allowed. If any palace ladies dared to eat other food secretly, they would be caught after being discovered.
All shall be put to death.
You said that if you simply keep them and don’t eat them, then you won’t eat them. At best, they will be malnourished and have a bland taste.
However, these cardamom palace ladies have to get him up early every day to collect dew.
Because the Jiajing Immortal said that this thing can also lead to immortality.
Just imagine, the Renyin Palace changes happened in November and December in the north.
In the early morning of the northern winter, a group of thinly dressed and malnourished palace maids braved the severe cold and knelt on the ground to collect dew. They would die of cold or starvation.
If I put it on you, will you do it?
Of course, it is pure nonsense to say that there is no conspiracy in this palace change.
Because there are several bugs in Renyin Palace Transformation that are too obvious.
First, there are nine rooms and seventeen beds in the Qianqing Palace. Which room the emperor will stay in that night is a national top secret. How do these maids know which room the emperor lives in?
Secondly, the Qianqing Palace was heavily guarded. How did these dozen palace maids sneak into the emperor's palace quietly? Are all the eunuchs and eunuchs dead?
Thirdly, why didn’t the informing palace maid go to the nearest Concubine Duan to report the matter, but instead went to the distant empress? After all, time waits for no one, if you delay for one more minute, Jiajing may go to heaven.
No one knows what the reason was, whether the concubines in the harem wanted to kill Jiajing, or the ministers wanted to kill the gods.
In the end, the Renyin Incident ended with Concubine Cao Duan and Concubine Wang Ning beheaded, and all the maids involved were executed, and they were strictly ordered not to investigate further.
Ji Boying raised his head slightly and looked at the sky. The sun had set and the sky was getting dark. It was almost night in Jiajing time and space.
‘The Jiajing Immortal should have already begun to enter the elixir.’
After thinking about it, Ji Boying swept towards Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi who were about to make a move.
"Before setting off, I want to remind you a few words."
"When you enter the Forbidden City of the Jiajing Dynasty, remember not to run around."
This is really not a joke.
In the Jiajing time and space, the faces of these emperors and princes cannot pass facial recognition and are worthless.
"Have you heard what brother said?"
Lao Zhu glared at the right time.
"I heard it!"
Everyone nodded in unison, but it was obvious that Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi didn't care. They were carrying poles with murderous intent in their eyes.
"Well, let's go."
Ji Boying took one last look at this pastoral scenery.
Phew~
Twelve figures disappeared on the spot.
Qi Jiguang and his wife, who had just walked a hundred meters away, subconsciously looked back at the location where Ji Boying and others were before, and looked startled.
"Madam, it seems that we are indeed going to meet an immortal today."
Wang nodded and then stamped her feet.
"Oops, I just forgot to ask the immortal when I will be pregnant with my son!"
………………………………
Jiajing time and space, West Garden of the Forbidden City, Taigaoxuan Hall.
In the 21st year of Jiajing's reign, Zhu Houcong followed Taoist Tao Zhongwen's suggestion and built the Great Gaoxuan Hall in Xiyuan to serve Shangxuan.
This Taigaoxuan Hall is not a separate palace, but the general name of a group of Taoist temple buildings, covering an area of 5,000 square meters.
From the day it was built, Jiajing and his civil and military officials fasted here for twenty days, suffocating a group of carnivores so hard that they almost ate mice.
From south to north, the Great Gaoxuan Hall is the South Archway, the East-West Archway, the first mountain gate, the second mountain gate, the Great Gaoxuan Gate, the bell, the Drum Tower, the Great Gaoxuan Hall and its east-west auxiliary halls, Jiutian Yingyuan Lei Altar and
Its side hall.
Finally, there is a two-story attic.
The first floor is a square building, and the second floor is a circular building with a corridor. The upper floor is called Qianyuan Pavilion, and the lower floor is called Kun Zhenyu, which means that the sky is round and the place is round, and the heaven and earth are one.
Those who cultivate immortality are particular about it.
The Xuan Hall is dedicated to the Three Pure Ones of Taoism: Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, and Taiqing Daode Tianzun.
Qianyuan Pavilion is the place where the Jiajing Immortal cultivated and practiced immortality.
Sandalwood scent rises and burns quietly in this pavilion.
At this time, there was a person, wearing a fragrant leaf crown and a purple gold Taoist robe, sitting cross-legged in the middle, closing his eyes and meditating.
The body has been refined to look like a crane, with two scriptures under a thousand pine trees.
I came to ask Wuyu and said, the clouds are in the blue sky and the water is in the bottle.
This is the Supreme Great Luo Celestial Immortal Purple Extreme Immortality Saint Wisdom Zhao Lingtong Three Yuan Zheng Ying Yuxu General Manager Wu Lei Da Zhenren Xuandu Realm Longevity Emperor - Jiajing Immortal Zhu Houcong.
On the left and right sides of Jiajing, there is a cat lying on each side.
The one on the left has light green fur with no mottled color except for a pair of white eyebrows, so it is named "Frost Eyebrow".
The one on the right looks like a small Chow Chow. Its coat is pure gold, its eyes are round, and it has a calm and intimidating air when it is opened. There is a ring of long hair around its neck, like a male lion. It is called: lion cat.
.
At this moment, the door of the pavilion was gently pushed open, and the old man bowed and approached.
"Emperor, this is a heavenly spirit pill that took seven, seven and forty-nine days to be refined. After swallowing it, it not only increases your cultivation, but also has the magical effect of channeling ghosts and gods."
Tao Zhongwen came over and respectfully presented a treasure box.
The so-called 'effect of channeling ghosts and gods' means that you may feel dizzy after eating this stuff. If you have any unusual hallucinations, your Majesty, don't panic, it's all normal.
"Yeah."
"Thank you for your hard work."
Jiajing's voice is gentle and calm, and he has the demeanor of a major repairman.
After taking the elixir and opening the treasure box, lying inside was a silver-black elixir dotted with gold. At first glance, it looked like a hard-core precious metal.
"It is truly an honor for me to make elixirs for the emperor."
"Please take it as soon as possible, Emperor, to prevent the elixir from losing its potency."
After bowing, Tao Zhongwen stepped back knowingly. He knew that the Jiajing Immortal was about to take drugs.
"Heavenly Spirit Pill, channeling ghosts and gods."
Jiajing took a deep breath, picked up the elixir with his thumb and index finger, looked at it carefully for a moment, and put it into his mouth without hesitation.
Then he picked up the dew cup next to him, took a sip of the dew picked by a thirteen-year-old girl who got up early, and swallowed it.
Boom~!
A thunder sounded.
"Taking this elixir actually resonates with heaven. It's really wonderful, wonderful."
Jiajing's thin cheeks were filled with joy.
"Huh?"
When the thunder continued, he found that there were more people in front of him. Because he was a little short-sighted, it was difficult to see the lines on the robes clearly.
‘The effect of channeling ghosts and gods.’
'Sure enough, it works, and the effect is so fast. It seems that Tao Zhongwen's alchemy skills are advanced again.'
Jiajing smiled slightly and put on a calm posture.
"I am the Purple Immortal, the Emperor of Longevity."
