Chapter 32 The Ming Dynasty Losers
When Zhu Houzhao returned to the palace, Zhu Youzhu was busy in the Qianqing Palace, standing behind Zhu Youzhang and waiting for an old eunuch, although he was a little old, but his health was still good, this person was Yang Peng, the prince of Dongchang at this time. Although Dongchang has now gathered its minions, and the low-key cannot be low-key, no one dares to underestimate such a yamen.
Yang Peng is also smiling, his fat figure looks like a kind old man, and if he is a monk, he may be more like a monk, but this still makes many people stay away.
The power of eunuchs is the continuation of imperial power, which Emperor Hongzhi is very clear, so although Emperor Hongzhi Zhu Youzhu is benevolent, he does not lack his political wisdom. When Emperor Hongzhi had just ascended the throne, the ministers had written once, wanting Emperor Hongzhi Zhu Youzhu to get rid of Dongchang, but the emperor didn't take care of this stubble at all, and just let Dongchang Jinyiwei act in a low-key manner.
Putting down the question book in his hand, picking up the teacup and taking a breath, as the warm tea entered his throat, Zhu Youzhu breathed a sigh of relief, and put the teacup in his hand on the table again, Zhu Youzhu turned his head to look at Yang Peng: "How is the prince?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has returned to the palace!" Yang Peng hurriedly bowed down and said, Of course, this is the itinerary of Emperor Zhu Youzhi who asked him to pay attention to Zhu Houzhao, otherwise he would not dare to stare at Zhu Houzhao if he gave Yang Peng two dares.
Zhu Youzhu nodded, and then saw Yang Peng looking like he wanted to say something, shook his head with a smile and said, "If you have anything to say, why bother to swallow and spit out, pretend to be a gesture!" “
For Zhu Youzhang's laughter and scolding, Yang Peng seemed to be quite useful, Yang Peng did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly said today's events, with Yang Peng's narration, Zhu Youzhang's face became more and more ugly, and finally he could only sigh helplessly. For the situation of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youzhu knew it clearly, and in history, Zhu Youzhu wanted to implement a new policy and reform the court.
It's a pity that the congenital is insufficient, and Zhu Youzhang's body is not enough to support him to complete this great cause, and before it starts, the person dies first.
Later, hearing what his son had done, Zhu Youzhang's face softened a lot, and then he smiled, and then he laughed heartily.
Zhu Youzhu was really satisfied with his son Zhu Houzhao's approach, he didn't say a word, didn't accuse, didn't ask, and didn't show any anger, but the anger was very obvious. Zhu Houzhao's approach is tantamount to slapping everyone's face, you are not as good as a ten-year-old child, shame, really shame, the key is that this child is still the prince of the Ming Dynasty.
In such a situation, if you don't come up with an explanation, I'm afraid you won't be able to get over this matter, how can Zhu Youjiao's heart not be happy.
Of course, what makes Zhu Youzhu even more happy is not this, but the force shown by his son, not to mention anything else, his body alone is stronger than himself, and his own ideas can be inherited by his son, such as the New Deal, such as Zhongxing Daming, and he will also be the master of Zhongxing for two generations of father and son. Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhu is in a better mood, and there are successors!
Of course, Zhu Houzhao didn't know what his father was thinking, he was still very unhappy in his heart at this time, so he simply walked around the palace with a sad face.
Although it is a wandering, Zhu Houzhao is actually trying to find a way, the Ming army is not good like this, originally Zhu Houzhao thought that the Ming army was at least no problem fighting locally, but now it seems to be bullshit. I need the strength of the army, I need a strong escort force, I can't count on the current army, I need to rely on myself, I need to figure out my own way.
"Your Highness, it's time to Kunning Palace!" When Zhu Houzhao was thinking blindly but didn't think of any good way, Liu Jin behind Zhu Houzhao spoke first.
Zhu Houzhao was slightly stunned, looked around, and really arrived at Kunning Palace, since he was here, he couldn't help but go in and take a look! Without the slightest hesitation, Zhu Houzhao stepped in, waved his hand to signal the palace maids and eunuchs to retreat, Zhu Houzhao arrived at Kunning Palace, naturally there was no need for any communication, so he swaggered all the way in.
It's just that Zhu Houzhao didn't expect his mother to have guests here, and after a glance at Zhu Houzhao, he knew that the person who came was his uncle Zhang Heling, and the current knighthood was Shouninghou.
His mother is from Xingji, Hebei, and his father is the son of the country, Zhang Luan, this Zhu Houzhao knows, because he loves the queen's mother, does not set up concubines, and lives together in the emperor's harem, such as a folk couple. Because of Empress Zhang, Xiaozong treated his relatives quite favorably, and posthumously named his father-in-law Zhang Luan as the Duke of Changguo, and his brother-in-law Zhang Heling as the Marquis of Shouning and Zhang Yanling as the Marquis of Jianchang. The status of the queen is so stable that no one can shake it, and the status of the Zhang family will naturally rise.
In such a situation, his two uncles really walked with their heads held high, and no one looked down on them, but Zhu Houzhao also knew that they were at most making money and living a luxurious life.
can't participate in the government affairs, let alone the country, they have a lot of dirty water, mainly to reward the emperor for splashing, in history they died childless, the mother and the first assistant Yang Ting and Dingce Lixing Wang Shizi Zhu Houxi as the new monarch, that is, Emperor Jiajing, which triggered a tragic discussion for fame. After Jiajing won, he retaliated against Empress Dowager Zhang and killed her brother under the pretext of killing her.
In this process, splashing dirty water is definitely indispensable, and his two uncles are not so unbearable or so bad, but they are just like ordinary relatives, the poor are rich and make money.
Listening to the conversation inside, Zhu Houzhao knew that these two people were here to cry poor, Zhu Houzhao shook his head helplessly, not to mention their money and fields, just the annual rewards in the palace, there are a lot, but these two people are still crying poor. Zhu Houzhao doesn't know whether they are really poor or fake poor, and he doesn't know where the money is spent, he is simply a loser.
Zhu Houzhao frowned after listening for a while, this uncle of his was actually going to do something about the salt class, which made Zhu Houzhao think of something.
Daming's salt method seems to be bad at this time, and it was broken by his uncle, which made Zhu Houzhao have to take it seriously, and even forgot about the school field.
After listening to it for a while, Zhu Houzhao understood, a salt merchant went to Zhang Heling to beg for a beggar, and wanted to introduce 170,000 yuan to Changlu to avoid chasing salt, to put it bluntly, the salt of 170,000 yuan does not accept the salt class, what is the salt class? To put it bluntly, it's a salt tax. In this era, the salt tax is definitely an important source of the Ming Dynasty's finances, Zhu Houzhao became angry when he heard it, the profit of salt is so high, you don't want to pay the fucking tax yet.
Of course, another thing that Zhu Houzhao thought of was Nayin Kaizhong, a policy that broke the Ming Dynasty, and a policy that was originally good.
