Chapter 109 Zhu Jianshen: Zhu Qizhen, you are the one I hate! (4.4k, please subscribe!)
"Gentlemen, what are you arguing about?"
Zhang Cong stood on the left side of Immortal Jiajing, looking at the ministers under the altar, grinning, as enthusiastic as ever.
The words fell.
When the two parties who were arguing loudly heard this familiar and distant voice, they subconsciously looked towards Lei Tan.
You won’t know until you look at it, and you’ll be scared to death just by looking at it.
‘Why did Zhang Cong climb out of the coffin?!’
Xia Yan, Yan Song, and the first and second leaders of the six departments, all froze on the spot the moment they saw Zhang Cong.
Could it be that this old boy has been cheating his death for seven or eight years?!
"From now on, Zhang Fujing will join the cabinet as the first assistant, and all the ministers should assist him with all their heart."
As soon as Jiajing Immortal said these words, Xia Yan and Yan Song's expressions changed.
They have been fighting with the Jiajing Immortal for so many years, and they all know the dog-eat-dog technique of the Jiajing Immortal, but the trick of letting the dog die is really a bit too much.
After announcing the appointment, Jiajing Immortal subconsciously looked to his side, his body suddenly trembled, and his expression changed drastically.
Because his respected Lord Dao Ancestor has disappeared.
‘Master, Master, where have you been!’
‘You just gave me a bell! You haven’t even told me how to become an immortal!’
………………………
How Jiajing Immortal and Zhang Cong will carry out reforms next is a matter for their monarchs and ministers. Ji Boying is only responsible for doing what an immortal should do and seizing the market.
Still the same sentence.
Practical operation has never been Ji Boying's strong point.
Regarding the Guozuo issue in Jiajing time and space, Zhang Cong's ten-year New Deal reform, coupled with the selection of a reliable successor, with the full support of the Jiajing gods, this New Deal can be implemented for at least thirty years.
Thirty years is enough time to solidify.
In this way, the state of Zuo in Jiajing time and space must be able to be extended to a certain extent, at least it will not be like Zhang Juzheng, who was destroyed and the government was abolished, and Wanli was abolished.
Naturally, there is no need to think too much about Zhang Cong’s successor.
The current Jiajing time and space is in the 25th year of Jiajing, and next year, which is the 26th year of Jiajing, Zhang Juzheng will be ranked ninth in the second-class high school and be selected as a Shujishi, which will naturally enter Zhang Cong's field of vision.
.
With the two of them having the same ideals, Zhang Cong would most likely choose Zhang Juzheng without Ji Boying's promotion.
Moreover, in the following classes, Jiajing Immortal will also hear the name Zhang Juzheng, and in the first assistant training class, Zhang Cong may have to copy homework with Zhang Juzheng.
Besides, it’s not that he doesn’t want to chat more with Jiajing, but that he, the director of the admissions office, is very busy.
In the second emperor training class, there are still many students who have not received the admission notification bell.
……………………
Tianshun time and space.
Nangong, Lake Garden Pavilion, Moonlight at midnight.
Before Ji Boying came from Jiajing time and space to Tianshun time and space, he deliberately moved the timeline of Tianshun time and space back three months.
The incident of seizing the gate was the first month of the eighth year of Jingtai, and now it is the third month of the eighth year of Jingtai.
Ji Boying's main purpose for doing this was to see how the black Zhu Qizhen, who was once again under house arrest in Nangong, was doing after three months.
After all, it takes a hundred days to break the muscles and bones, not to mention the whole body fractures.
Ji Boying looked around at the exquisite surroundings. The palace and garden, which looked very exquisite, were different from the dilapidated Nangong he imagined.
Nangong, also known as Hongqing Palace.
After Yongle Emperor Zhu Di moved the capital to Beiping, he built the Taisun Palace for the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji. After Zhu Zhanji came to the throne, he expanded and added the Hongqing Palace to serve as a departure palace.
Although the Nangong Palace cannot be compared with the Forbidden City, as one of the four major palaces of the Ming Dynasty, its configuration is definitely not bad.
In many subsequent interpretations and TV dramas, most of the interpretations of Nangong were in a remote and rundown place, and Zhu Qiyu tortured Zhu Qizhen under house arrest in every possible way.
For example, the lock of the door was filled with lead, and food and drink had to be passed through the small hole. Then Queen Qian had to do needlework to supplement the family income, and Jin Yiwei monitored her closely for twelve hours.
Even in order to see what Zhu Qizhen was doing every day more directly and conveniently, Emperor Jingtai ordered people to cut down all the trees in Nangong.
Is this really the case?
Historical records clearly indicate that during the seven years Baozong was under house arrest in Nangong, he gave birth to three sons and four daughters. This shows that the rule of concubines taking turns to attend the bedchamber is particularly important. And with so many children to raise, is it possible that the queen relied on money to do her needlework?<
/p>
I can’t even afford a midwife!
Obviously, there are too many bugs in the theory that Zhu Qizhen was tortured in Nangong.
Everything can only be attributed to the success of the king and the defeat of the bandits.
After the restoration, Baozong would naturally describe how difficult his seven-year life had been, highlighting Emperor Jingtai's disregard for brotherhood and providing as much reason as possible for his restoration.
During Baozong's seven-year career in Nangong, Jinyiwei should have monitored him day and night.
It can be roughly summarized this way: material needs should be met, but spiritual needs cannot be guaranteed.
Just as Zhu Jianshen later concluded this matter: When the late emperor returned to Luan, he was treated with more respect and courtesy and ignored the slanderous words. He stayed for eight years and protected the two palaces.
"How did you learn?"
Ji Boying walked into the pavilion with his hands behind his back. Dressed in a black robe and with a beard, the blackened Zhu Qizhen subconsciously raised his head and looked at Ji Boying.
His eyes have changed.
At least, the situation is different from three months ago, and the anger has dissipated a lot.
"Immortal Master."
Blackened Zhu Qizhen subconsciously wanted to stand up, but the multiple fractures on his body were not healed and he could not stand up steadily.
"No need to salute."
Ji Boying glanced at the book Zhu Qizhen was reading. It was the biography he had given to the black Zhu Qizhen earlier.
"Mr. Yangming is truly a great talent."
Blackened Zhu Qizhen took a deep breath.
"In the past few months, I have been questioning myself. I am asking myself whether I am a qualified emperor, whether I am qualified to be an emperor, and whether I want to be an emperor."
"Finally, I got the answer."
"I am not a qualified emperor, nor am I qualified to be an emperor, nor do I want to be an emperor anymore."
Holding on to the stone table, Black Zhu Qizhen slowly stood up and bowed deeply towards Ji Boying.
"If it weren't for the book given by the immortal master, Zhu Qizhen would never be able to see through his own heart in his whole life, and he would eventually be trapped by his inner demons."
Ji Boying was a little surprised when he looked at Zhu Qizhen who was so enlightened.
But think about it carefully.
It is impossible for Zhu Qizhen to want to be emperor now. Instead of endless internal friction in the spiritual world, it is better to give himself an excuse to free himself, so that he can live a more free and easy life for the rest of his life.
Originally, Ji Boying did not intend to give Zhu Qizhen a place in the training class.
There are two main reasons. One is that the Baozong is not necessary, and the other is that the Baozong is afraid that the Baozong will be beaten to death by people like Lao Zhu.
"Let's go, follow me to do something."
Ji Boying finished speaking before Zhu Qizhen could react.
The two figures disappeared into the lake garden pavilion.
…………………………
Chenghua time and space, the eleventh year of Chenghua, spring.
Zhu Jianshen, the Chenghua Emperor, is one of the Ming emperors whose presence is not high in many popular readings about the Ming Dynasty in later generations.
And as long as Zhu Jianshen is mentioned, the first topic that comes to mind is nanny control. Few people will mention the internal affairs and martial arts of the Chenghua Dynasty, which is much more impressive than the previous Hou Tianshun and Hongzhi Dynasties.
But it’s understandable, after all, the history of the Ming Dynasty is made of braids.
During the Chenghua Dynasty, the Liting Cave Sweeping War was carried out three times in the third year of Chenghua, the fourteenth year of Chenghua, and the fifteenth year of Chenghua. The rebellious Jurchens in Jianzhou were massacred three times on a large scale.
Zhu Jianshen even issued a decree: destroy its nest, eliminate its species, and slaughter it by those who can butcher it.
This is basically a genocide order.
The 50,000-strong army killed the Jianzhou Jurchens to the point of collapse, and almost wiped out the ancestors of the pigtails.
What do you think the pigheads who were treated like this by Emperor Chenghua will write in history after they gain power?
In fact, when Emperor Chenghua first took over the mess left by his father, the situation of the entire Ming Dynasty was roughly as follows:
Within the territory, millions of refugees in Jingxiang rebelled, Sichuan barbarians rebelled, Guangdong, Guangxi, Zhuang and Yao rebelled, native officials in Ningxia, Shaanxi and Yangzhou rebelled, Yangzhou salt merchants rebelled, and even thieves broke out in the two capitals, and famines, floods, droughts, and earthquakes continued throughout the country;
Outside the country, Mongolia occupied Hetao, the Jurchens rose in Jianzhou, and Turpan captured Hamiwei;
At first glance, this posture is similar to that of Chongzhen when he first ascended the throne.
If someone like Chongzhen had been replaced to take over the mess like Chenghua, it is estimated that the Ming Dynasty could have ended a hundred years earlier.
However, Zhu Jianshen did it and did it very well.
Looking at the main achievements of the Chenghua Dynasty, let’s make a simple summary: first, redressing injustice; second, repaying grievances with virtue and restoring the title of Emperor Daizong; third, rectifying the administration of officials and reorganizing the capital camp; fourth, reforming the martial arts system and improving the military examination system.
Normalization; fifth, rectify the salt industry and increase commercial taxes; sixth, enforce strict justice and be prudent in prison sentences; seventh, stabilize Guangdong and Guangxi, pacify Jingxiang; eighth, Chenghua Liting, massacre the Jurchens; ninth, defeat Mongolia and regain the Hetao
, take revenge on Tumubao; 10, recover Hamiwei;
Strike hard internally, rectify the administration of officials, and pay attention to the preparation of generals and the capital camp.
Zhu Jianshen has never been timid in his iron-blooded attacks on foreign countries, and he has never been defeated in any battle he has fought.
On the issue of war and peace, Zhu Jianshen's way of dealing with it was very similar to that of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di. He never talked about peace, but was just "Qian". Later generations even had the reputation of "Little Han Wu" for him.
What is sad is that such an iron-blooded and hawkish emperor is actually labeled as "weak" in many popular books, which is really ridiculous.
By the way, the treasury left by Zhu Jianshen to Zhu Youtang has reached the peak of the Ming Dynasty, with more than 20 million shi.
The treasury left by Zhu Youtang to Zhu Houzhao and the money Zhu Houzhao gave for his father's funeral are all gone.
Of course, Zhu Jianshen also did many wrong things, such as sending officials to ravage the court, excessive killings in Xichang, and establishing Huangzhuang, where the emperor took the lead in land annexation, which led to the rapid expansion of land annexation.
…………………………
At this time.
Qianqing Palace, Nuange Royal Couch.
Wan Zhen'er is feeding grapes to Zhu Jianshen.
Although they are fed by wet nurses from childhood to adulthood, the experience is completely different at different ages.
After spitting out the grape skin, Zhu Jianshen frowned with a sad look on his face.
Wan Zhen'er is already forty-six this year. It is basically impossible to have a child, but she does not have a prince yet.
"Your Majesty, I blame this concubine for her unsatisfactory belly and her inability to give birth to a prince for Your Majesty."
Wan Zhen'er said this and put down the grapes in her hands, her eyes red.
"How can the imperial concubine blame herself so much? It's my problem whether I can give birth to a prince, and it has nothing to do with the imperial concubine."
Zhu Jianshen sat up and comforted him repeatedly.
"Besides, if I can't give birth to a son, it's because my ancestors didn't protect me. If I want to blame, I can only blame my ancestors for protecting me."
Boom~!
A sound of thunder sounded in this spring night.
Concubine Wan Guifei was nearly fifty years old, but her heart was like a girl's. She said "Oh!" and got into Zhu Jianshen's arms. Zhu Jianshen happily hugged his wet nurse who was seventeen years older than herself.
"Concubine, please stop crying."
"If the late emperor's spirit in heaven protects me, how can I not give birth to a son?"
"If you want to blame it, blame it on the late emperor who messed up the government during his reign. He provoked the wrath of heaven and punished future generations for his crimes."
"You and I have shared a debt of gratitude for the late emperor."
Words come out.
Zhu Jianshen raised his head subconsciously and frowned immediately.
‘The late emperor?’
‘Dazzled?’
I rubbed my eyes and looked again, my heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Ji Boying glanced at Zhu Jianshen and Wan Zhen'er in his arms, thinking that it was lucky that this time had come. If it had been delayed for a quarter of an hour, he would probably have seen an old cow eating young grass.
At this time, the blackened Zhu Qizhen had already walked up to Zhu Jianshen, and his eyes fell on Zhu Jianshen.
"Say what you just said again in front of me."
Although the black man Zhu Qizhen has put down his butcher knife, he has learned from the ground.
But after all, he was carrying two machetes and slashed from the south to the north of Fengtian Guangting. He was so ruthless that he even chopped himself when he went crazy.
Wan Zhen'er was startled when she heard the sound, and subconsciously raised her head.
When I saw Zhu Qizhen, I was so frightened that my face turned pale, and I was stunned with my mouth open.
Briefly shocked, Zhu Jianshen was silent for a moment, then raised his head and met Zhu Qizhen's eyes.
"Did I say something wrong?!"
"The civil and national humiliation, called the gate to announce the mansion, the foreign race as a hostage, the coup to seize the gate, each one of them, one by one, which one of you is not unethical?!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Is there anything in you that is not angry with God?!"
The more he talked, the louder he got, and Zhu Jianshen stood up.
"Haven't you made enough mess for me?!"
"There are millions of refugees in Jingxiang, the Mongol Empire is rising, the Jurchens in Jianzhou have rebelled repeatedly, and barbarians from all over the world have abandoned their tribute, humiliating the Ming Dynasty that it has no power to fight."
"All this is because of you!"
"It's me! I, Zhu Jianshen, put down the rebellion in Jingxiang. It was I who drove the Tartars out of Hetao. It was I who massacred the Jurchens in Jianzhou and made these barbarians frightened when they heard about my army of the Ming Dynasty. It was I who restored the national prestige of the Ming Dynasty.
Revitalize Sebari!"
"You, who have the right to lecture me? Who have the right to say that I was wrong!"
These words shocked Zhu Qizhen, and he subconsciously took a few steps back.
I thought to myself that this script is wrong. Shouldn't you be disciplined by me and then beaten up by me?!
The last time those ancestors came, they beat me like this!
‘Sure enough, it’s a bit bloody.’
Ji Boying glanced at Zhu Jianshen.
These days, not many people dare to criticize dad.
Even if Lao Zhu Di is in such a state as Yongle Dacheng, in front of Lao Zhu, he still has to obey the instructions.
Of course, this is mainly because Zhu Qizhen is too useless.
"If you want to argue, you can argue again later."
One word.
Zhu Qizhen got off the donkey along the slope, took a few steps back, and saluted Ji Boying.
"Yes, Immortal Master."
‘Immortal Master?’
Zhu Jianshen frowned, his mind was racing, and he had a rough guess. Although he was shocked that there were immortals in the world, but his unlucky father was right in front of him, so he couldn't believe it.
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Jianshen saluted Ji Boying.
"Zhu Jianshen, meet the immortal master."
Ji Boying glanced at Zhu Jianshen and saw that this boy had a bright mind.
"I came here to do just two things."
After saying that, throw it away.
A silver bell fell into Zhu Jianshen's hand.
"The first thing is that you are the chosen one. When the wind chimes ring, you will start giving lessons."
‘Teaching?’
Zhu Jianshen looked at the wind chime in his hand with a surprised expression. He put the wind chime away. Zhu Jian took a deep breath and looked at Ji Boying.
"I dare to ask the immortal master, what is the second thing?"
"The second thing is, bring your son to class."
Ji Boying is planning to open a kindergarten class, gathering young children such as Zhu Xiongying from Hongwu, Zhu Zhanji from Jianwen, Zhu Jianshen from Zhengtong-Jingtai, and Zhu Jianshen from Tianshun, and recruit a few heroes to do preschool education.
Learn how to be a good emperor, starting from a baby.
Son?!
Zhu Jianshen was stunned.
Where did I get my cub from?
