As the chief ruler of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houxi was tragic.

More than 150 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, after ten emperors, in addition to the five heads of state such as Hongwu Emperor, Yongle Emperor, Renxuan Zhizhi and Hongzhi Zhongxing, who can work hard, and the great power of heaven is not lost, the rest of the elders have more or less such and such shortcomings, so that the dynasty is tired and the world is restless. Especially the lord who was handed down to the previous generation who stood with the 'leopard house', under the 'wise governance' of his old man's family, the entire dynasty has almost become a weak building, and the end of the strong crossbow is expected to reappear, and the 'tofu scum' project has been launched since then.

'This sincerity is in danger of survival'----- Zhuge Kongming, his old man aptly showed the scene at this time.

As the king of Shoucheng, as long as the previous 'leader' can be a little 'want to cross the sea without losing his heroic nature', and he can still work hard when he 'exerts himself to cross the horse', and create a foundation that is far inferior to that of the Yongle Emperor, as long as it is not a 'tofu scum' project, Zhu Houxi is confident that he can still enjoy the ancestral foundation and cultivate the Tao with peace of mind.

However, since the succession to the emperor's throne, there are Mongolian Alta in the north who want to revive the majesty of the grassland, in the east there is the rebellion of the Dongying shogunate, and in the south there is the rise of the Ava Dynasty in Burma.

Even so, this is nothing at all for Emperor Jiajing, who is known as the first IQ of the Zhu family, and he is extremely smart, he firmly believes that he can deal with these ringworm scabies without pressure, and create the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.

However, the vicious development of the situation in the past few days has greatly surprised him, and it has really made it difficult for him to sleep and eat, and he has no intention of cultivating the truth. No, as soon as the court meeting ended today, he couldn't wait to let Huang Jinchuan and the two cabinet bigwigs come over to discuss the matter, and walked out of the room for the first time.

The Ming Dynasty has been plagued for a long time, and the previous anti-Japanese struggle can more or less achieve some victories, but this seemingly ordinary small Japanese invasion has spread so fast, and the scope of light flow has reached several provinces in the southeast, and the burning, killing and looting have reached a outrageous level. Today, the cabinet and the chief celebrant staged a concert at the same time, reporting that the trend of the Japanese pirates was becoming more and more intense, that the officials and troops were not able to suppress them effectively, and that Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, and other provinces had suffered frequent disasters. Enough burning, enough looting, and retreating, the grasshopper shaking the tree dares to underestimate the Huanghuang Daming, how can this not make Emperor Jiajing annoyed?

This news is no secret, the whole court is talking about it, the six departments and thirteen departments supervise the imperial history to sharpen the knife Huo Huo, the ammunition is sufficient, and a new batch of impeachment work is being brewed, the people in the capital are panicking, and even more rumors are spreading, saying that this large-scale invasion of the Japanese invaders will be staged again in a few days.

The rumors do not stop, and they are indeed confusing. But what made Emperor Jiajing even more angry was that there were some superstitious immortals in the capital, who did not cultivate virtue and politics, which annoyed the heavens, attracted punishment and added guilt to the people.

Emperor Jiajing is obsessed with immortals, more than ten years of not going to court the status quo, it can be said that the entire Ming Dynasty everyone knows, whenever disasters occur, the simple people can only transfer the disasters that God has sent to themselves to the emperor, so as to talk about the fear and hesitation. For example, this time the invasion of the Japanese invaders, which stretched over several provinces and could not be encircled and suppressed, was frightened, and the long-tongued man inevitably repeated the old tune again, saying that the virtue of the Son of Heaven was at a loss, and that the heavens warned and so on............

Emperor Jiajing on the rosewood chair was slightly uneasy, and he flipped through the folds in distraught.

One hundred and ten Japanese robbers can drive thousands of miles, burning, killing and looting countless times, what happened to the Ming officials and soldiers? What happened to coastal defense preparations? Especially what happened to the Southeast Beidu Division? ............. As soon as there is a disaster, the officials do not immediately deal with it, but simply report it to the imperial court for me to deal with. If I had a Kong Wu like the ancestors of Yongle, would I still need to cultivate immortals and cultivate the truth in this never-ending Jingshe Dan room?

Yan Song knew Emperor Jiajing's heart best, coughed lightly, showed a dissatisfied look, and was already angry when he rushed at Lu Bing: "Commander Lu, the people in the market are in turmoil, and you Jinyi Wei don't care?" ”

Lu Bingcheng was terrified, although he has been quite favored in recent years and is a smash hit figure, but in front of Emperor Jiajing and Yan Song, he still knows that he is two pounds, and he fell to his knees with a pop, his head hit the floor with a bang, and said sadly: "Weichen deserves to die for his crimes, and Weichen will strictly order Jinyiwei to investigate the source of the rumors, once it is verified, he will not be spared." ”

Huang Jin on the side frowned slightly, wanting to say something, but finally held back.

Emperor Jiajing didn't say anything, just flipped through the folds lightly, and coldly diverted the topic: "More than 100 Japanese robbers have traveled thousands of miles, killing and injuring countless people, and the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are really good!" ”

Syllable!

The fold was slapped heavily on the case.

The emperor's sacred heart was unpredictable, and Yan Song and Xu Jie couldn't help but kneel down,

"That's how Zhao Wenhua sacrificed to the sea on my behalf? Yan Ge, you recommend it well! "Emperor Jiajing's sacred heart was uneven, and the spearhead was pointed at Yan Song, the initiator.

Yan Song was shocked, knelt down and took a step forward, bowed his head and bowed: "The minister is guilty, the minister's recommendation is insulting to the holy authority, please ask the emperor to surrender." ”

Jiajing didn't answer again, turned to Xu Jie, and said lightly: "Xu Jie, talk about it!" What should I do? ”

Xu Jie was stunned, this master is really unpredictable, the companion has never guessed through his mind for many years, and when Chrysostom Yu's words come out, he often points to the east and the west, which makes people unguardable. At this time, the old trick was repeated again, the spearhead did not point to the initiator, but pointed to his own general, and his heart was very forked, but he did not dare to say anything, so he had to say honestly: "The minister thinks that the Japanese are good at land warfare, known for their ghosts and invisible, and the number of people is small and flexible, although the number of officers and soldiers is numerous, but after all, the target is too large, it is difficult to form an effective encirclement, and it is reasonable for the Japanese to be difficult to suppress, and it is reasonable for our army to win a great victory in the Longshan Campaign, and Zhao Wenhua is still meritorious." ”

Yan Song's heart was relieved, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and the eyes that fell on Xu Jie contained a trace of gratitude.

"Merit is merit, merit is fault, merit and demerit cannot be doubled, the Battle of Longshan is a great victory, but it cannot offset Zhao Wenhua's crime." Emperor Jiajing's tone was calm, perhaps taking care of his face, or perhaps he was moved by Xu Jie's words, and said with a faint smile: "Let's all three of you!" I'm tired after kneeling for a long time, Huang Jin ........ Bestow the seat. ”

Huang Jin hurriedly gave up his seat.

As soon as a few people sat down, Emperor Jiajing spoke again, but this time his tone was cold, and there was no room for negotiation, as if he was talking to himself: "Huang Jin, the celebrant sent an edict to Zhao Wenhua, asking him to exterminate this gang of widows for me no matter what, and don't come back if you don't succeed, hum!" If you can't do any small things, what can you do? This Zhao Wenhua should really learn from Qi Jiguang, and that Longshan Baihu, what is it called? ...........”

"Your Majesty, now it is Zhang Mingyuan, the deputy of the Thousand Households of Longshan." Huang Jin hurriedly reminded.

"Huh! Right, right. Jiajing looked very happy.

.............

Yan Song and Lu Bing secretly wiped the sweat that was constantly oozing from their foreheads, and they were still uneasy, while Xu Jie's eyes were empty, and he seemed to be thinking.

Emperor Jiajing has always been like this, when he personally attends cabinet meetings, he always likes to put the venue in the Jingshe Danfang, let a few cabinet bigwigs express their opinions to their heart's content, and he himself points to the east and west, noncommittal, and when they feel exhausted, they naturally stop and listen to the holy ruling, and then come forward to mediate, and quickly decide the matter with the momentum of quickly cutting through the chaos, and form a final resolution.

Emperor Jiajing likes this kind of Sacred Heart dictatorship very much, and has a feeling of looking down on the world, of course, this is also a smart move for him to major in the side business of the Immortal Dao and never lose power, regardless of whether it is a powerful cabinet or an arrogant eunuch, he is all cautious in front of him, and often his holy decree can cause him to die, and he will not live after the catastrophe.

In the middle and late stages of the succession, although he did not go to court for more than ten years, he was able to take charge of the direction of the government, and in the end of his dynasty, there was never a power minister to control the government, and there was no tragedy of the military generals separating one side, which can be regarded as the Jiajing Emperor's royal family, the emperor's art is exquisite, and it is a great blessing for the Ming Dynasty.

However, Emperor Jiajing is an unfortunate emperor, if he has the talent of Taizu Chengzu, he can probably show the true character of a hero, but this is also a "Qingzi Emperor" who loves Taoist art, Yan Song is good at Qingzi and can be reused, and it is Yan Song's self-destruction of the Great Wall that caused me to drive straight in, resulting in the change of Gengxu. It wasn't until Hai Rui, a six-grade official, shouted "Jiajing, every family is pure", which was like waking up from a dream, and before he died, he ordered the prince to kill Fang Shi and smash the Dan furnace and release Hai Rui, which was regarded as a great enlightenment, and the real feather ascension to immortality.
