The emperor is a profession that requires self-discipline very much, and a good emperor in history is not that he can develop morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically, and laboriously in an all-round way, but that he is more self-disciplined and can control his desires.

Because the emperor's duty is to govern the country, the rise and fall of the entire country depends on him alone, and for the whole country, it can be said that it affects the whole body.

So, if you want to be a good emperor, it's hard! Because you can't even have the desires that ordinary people can have.

To give two opposite examples, Wei Yigong in the Spring and Autumn Period had no bad deeds, so he loved to raise a few cranes.

Ordinary people don't seem to have any problems, right? It's just a pet.

But Wei Yigong finally caused public resentment to boil, and the country was ruined.

And the opposite example of him, Li Shimin, the ancient sage, also loves to raise birds, but he listened to Wei Zheng tell him about the example of Wei Yigong raising cranes and dying in the country, so he released all the birds and never raised birds again.

Does he not love birds? No! He knows how to be self-disciplined and knows how to control his desires.

This is the code of conduct of the Eternal Sage!

Emperor Hongzhi is a good emperor, but he is certainly not a saint of the ages, so he naturally does not have the perverted self-discipline ability of Li Shimin.

Of course, he can still do it, and he is not as carried away as Li Longji, and the king has not been early since then.

After Longyan Dayue, Emperor Hongzhi just suspended his handling of government affairs, gave himself a vacation, and did whatever he wanted, taking his ministers on a trip at public expense-

He wanted to go to the West Mountain to see.

He was curious about the operation of Xishan, and he also wanted to stop by on the way to see how the people were living under his rule.

Chongwenmen Outer Street is more than 50 miles away from Xishan, and if you don't stop this way, it will take about an hour at the speed of the carriage.

Emperor Hongzhi wanted to investigate the people's situation by the way, so it was naturally impossible not to stay.

In fact, when they walked out of Quang Ninh Gate, they stopped.

Because here they have met a group of outcasts who don't look like outcasts.

Why?

Because the definition of the Ming Dynasty is that those who are hungry or who have migrated to avoid the army are called wanderers.

The group of people that Emperor Hongzhi met were in a decent mental state, not like the displaced people who could starve to death at any time like in the past, but they were other migrants, that is, there was no way to guide them, and they violated the armor protection system, so according to the regulations, they were exiles.

So what are they here for?

Of course, I came to find a job and make a living.

Xishan Coal Industry has set up recruitment points at the two major city gates of the outer city of Beijing, that is, the gates of Guangning Gate and Guangqu Gate.

These people are all admired.

"Strongman, where did you come from?"

Emperor Hongzhi knew that these people were here to find jobs, and then looked at their big bags and small bags, dragging their families with their mouths, and knew that they were homeless people without letting Dongchang Fanzi and Jinyiwei inquire about the situation, but they could see that their mental state was acceptable, so Emperor Hongzhi was very curious, where did they come from, and why did they drag their families to come.

You must know that since the sixth year of Chenghua, the Ming Dynasty began to implement the armor protection system: ten for the first, and ten for the first. If one is guilty, nine will report it, and if it is not reported, all ten will be guilty.

In the eleventh year of Hongzhi, the armor protection system has been implemented throughout the country, and it is mandatory to sign a sign on each door, and write the number and name of Dingkou on it.

The price of violating the armor protection system is very high! Especially everyone's family concept is still very strong, and it's terrible to sit together!

These people seem to be in a decent state of mind, even if Xishan Coal Industry is well treated, there is no need to violate it!

Only those who have no way to survive will take a huge risk to become homeless.

"Back to this master's words, the villain is from Miyun."

The middle-aged man was very honest, and he was a little nervous when he saw that Emperor Hongzhi, who asked him, had an extraordinary bearing, so he didn't think much about it, and answered truthfully directly.

"Oh, then why did you drag your family out? Even if Xishan Coal Industry is well treated, you can completely run a good road to attract a person! How do you ...... Didn't you violate the armor protection system and become a homeless? ”

Emperor Hongji asked the puzzle in his heart.

To be honest, if he wasn't in a good mood, he wouldn't have spoken to a middle-aged man in such a ...... Be cautious, after all, the other party is violating the armor protection system that he approves.

"Alas, this lord, the villain has no way to live, and he has no choice but to escape.

As for the guide you said, I am an ordinary citizen, how can I do it!

And the armor protection system you mentioned, our treasure house, everyone has almost run out, who cares about the armor protection system! ”

"Running out?!"

Emperor Hongzhi was puzzled:

"I see that your family's mental state is okay, which means that your place should be good! Why did you run out? ”

"Alas, this is not the sin created by Shouning Hou!"

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man's resentment rose suddenly, and he chattered:

"This lord, our treasure farm, the land is fertile, it was originally rich, and our life is good, but because the land is fertile and the people are rich, it has caused us trouble!

Some time ago, Shou Ninghou somewhere learned the news of our Jubaozhuang, so he set his eyes on our Jubaozhuang, and then he began to find a way to encroach on our land.

At first, he forced us to sell at a low price, but we were reluctant to sell, and then his people simply grabbed it directly together with the government.

How dare we, the little people, confront him! And according to what he and the people in the government said, the land of our Jubaozhuang was rewarded by His Majesty to the Marquis of Shouning, and everything in the Jubaozhuang belonged to the Marquis of Shouning.

We dare not say anything, we cannot afford to disobey the Holy Decree!

Therefore, we had to pack up and flee overnight, so what do we care about the armor system! There is no way to live.

Fortunately, God bless, Your Majesty Shengming, there is Xishan Coal Industry. I heard that Xishan Coal Industry recruited homeless people to do things, and we had money for food and housing, so we all dragged our families and families and risked death to defect.

Alas, I just hope we don't get caught by the government! Otherwise, there really won't be a way to live......"

Emperor Hongji: "......"

……

It's true that Emperor Hongji is a good emperor, a good man, and a good husband, but is he perfect and without stains?

Obviously, it is impossible not to have it, the Eternal Sage Monarch Li Shimin also killed his brother Li Jiancheng and his brother Li Yuanji!

Emperor Hongzhi is still wrong, if there is no variable of Li Zhaotong, in the course of his eighteen years in power in the Ming Dynasty, he will have two major stains:

The first is to favor the two relatives of Shouning Marquis Zhang Heling and Jianchang Bo Zhang Yanling, these two brothers, both are the younger brothers of Emperor Hongzhi and his wife Empress Zhang, with the favor of his sister and brother-in-law, they have done nonsense, I don't know how many bad things they have done, and how many people have been harmed!

The second is that the Hongzhi Emperor in the thirteenth year of Hongzhi, that is, in 1500 AD, his father Chenghua Emperor Zhu Jianshen finally took back the Hetao area to lose, this pot he must carry, because the Hetao area is rich in water and grass, the land is fertile, there is a plug in the south of the Yangtze River, and both Yin Mountain, Helan Mountain is a place where soldiers must fight since ancient times, the Hetao area is lost, and the Ming Dynasty has no peace since then.

However, this second stain can not be mentioned, because it is only 11 years of Hongzhi, and it has not happened yet.

Let's just say this first.

The middle-aged man didn't lie, and the people of Shouning Hou didn't lie, this Miyun County Jubaozhuang was really given to Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning, by Emperor Hongzhi some time ago.

At that time, Zhang Heling went to the palace to find his sister Empress Zhang and cried, shouting poverty, saying that Jubaozhuang in Miyun County was very rich, and he wanted to ask his sister to tell her brother-in-law.

This queen, although capable and shrewd, knowledgeable and courteous, is definitely a brother demon! is very indulgent to his two younger brothers and the strongest relatives of the Ming Dynasty - Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling, so that these two brothers treat the palace as their own home and come and go freely.

Last year, Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling, two brothers, went to the palace to drink and have fun, this Zhang Heling also went to wear the crown of Emperor Hongzhi in a big rebellion, and then was discovered by the eunuch He Ding, He Ding stopped Zhang Heling with a golden gourd, wanted to kill him, and at the same time prompted Emperor Hongzhi.

From the perspective of the Ming Dynasty, He Ding is right!

But the result?

This Empress Zhang defended her younger brother in every possible way, angering Emperor Hongzhi, causing He Ding to be taken out of prison, and then beaten to death by another eunuch, Li Guang.

It can be seen that the husband and wife of Emperor Hongzhi and Empress Zhang are extremely honored and favored by the two brothers Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling.

This treasure village is that Emperor Hongzhi didn't think about anything, didn't think about anything, and gave it to Zhang Heling with a wave of his hand.

Then, it is the innocent people who suffer.
