Walking on the road, Wanli has been silent. Lao Zhu knew that he was not happy, he didn't know that he didn't go out of the palace, and he was startled. The rule of the Ming Dynasty, the people's livelihood...... It's enough for him to have a headache.

In fact, Lao Zhu himself is not very clear, only that since Zhang Juzheng's death, Wanli abolished his reform measures, and then the hundred officials and he thought that the world was peaceful. As everyone knows, I don't know how many hidden dangers there are, and this time what was exposed is only the tip of the iceberg.

But to be honest, the cabinet is already very good now, and it is rare to be able to successfully handle all kinds of official affairs in the absence of the emperor. It is impossible to do without a cabinet, but after all, the cabinet is not omnipotent, and there are many things that Wanli still has to deal with personally. It's just that now Wanli has pressed everything on the cabinet and hundreds of officials, corruption, it must be dealt with, otherwise Wanli will not feel sorry for his own money, but also for the treasury of the Ming Dynasty; But you can't overturn a boatload of people with a single rod! You killed all the ministers, is it possible that the emperor will personally approve and grasp all of them?

The ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang once did such a thing, and he stipulated that all officials who embezzled more than five taels of silver would be punished with death. As a result, the officials who handled official affairs in all parts of the Ming Dynasty were terrified! How many of them died in their own office? The result? How should you be or how should you be! Moreover, the low level of officials' salaries is simply unprecedented.

After Chengzu passed, the treatment of officials gradually improved a little, but compared to the former Song Dynasty, and even compared to the former Yuan Dynasty, it was still pitiful. In addition to an official like Hai Rui, who is as honest as water, there is only one Hai Rui Ming, who is unique and has no other semicolon. You can't expect everyone to be Hai Jui!

Anyway, I don't want to worry about these things, so let Wanli worry about it! Lao Zhu shook off these in his mind and looked at the scenery along the way on the horse. When it comes to horseback riding, Lao Zhu has been practicing unremittingly, and now he finally has achieved a lot of results, at least he won't let everyone see jokes. Although he is still not very refined, Lao Zhu is already very satisfied with himself - I don't need to go to the battlefield to fight, why should I torture myself so much?!

Wanli rode on a horse - he didn't want to be so eye-catching, and occasionally riding a horse was still a more comfortable thing, and he had to change his taste every day in a sedan chair - looking at the clouds on the horizon dyed red by the sunset, he was stunned.

It turns out that Zhang Juzheng's reform is what he wants to reform! He did the right thing! But why did the queen mother have to stop it? Didn't she think about her throne? If you continue like this, what can you leave for future generations? Do you want to leave a big Ming that is full of holes? Those officials shout about the world every day, what are they thinking in their hearts? What do they do every day? Is it useful to run away from all of this now? Maybe Zhu Yidao's sentence is right, absolute right means absolute responsibility! Is it really time for me to do something?

Wanli was still thinking deeply. He couldn't help but think about it, and what he saw, heard, and touched along the way all deeply stimulated his actually cowardly heart. He was extremely reluctant to face this, and he once wanted to entrust it all to those pretentious ministers, and hide in the most comfortable place to get away. But that's not a big deal! If this continues, sooner or later, the Ming will be destroyed in their hands. This world was brought down by the ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang with hard work, and it was guarded by his Zhu family, how could it be destroyed in the hands of these people! If he is really defeated by himself, after he ascends to heaven, what face will he have to face the ancestors of the Zhu family?

Is this all you have to do to keep running away? Can't you do anything?

Wanli shook his head bitterly. What a headache! But where else do you have a choice! Now I seem to have realized the anguish in my father's heart.

But Lao Zhu's comfortable humming voice came softly in his ears. This Zhu Yidao, he is really free! But compared to him, he can still choose not to be an official and do nothing, and find a place to live like a fairy with Shen Hui. But he could only hide far away in the deep palace and play a boring game of silver throwing with those boring eunuchs.

Wanli couldn't help but prick up his ears to listen to what Lao Zhu was humming, and some unfamiliar lyrics faintly came. It's not that he hasn't heard of Zhu Yidao's talent in these obscene clichés. I heard that the song "Loyal to the Country" by the wolves is the creation of this guy. But this song does sound very uplifting! Even I sound like I'm getting hot! It's no wonder that the wolves would treat this song as a military song, and the other people in the Shenwei Battalion would unconsciously hum along with them when they watched their morning exercises early in the morning.

"Along the ups and downs of the gentle curve of the rivers and mountains, the horses love the north and the south of the Yangtze River that the Central Plains love; In the face of the betrayal of the ice blade and blood sword, I cherish the golden Chinese year given to me by the sky...... May the fireworks be peaceful and happy in the world, and I really want to live for another five hundred years......" The strange tune came into Wanli's ears, but the novel words made him shocked!

If you live another 500 years, will you be able to change all this? Will he still kill Zhang Juzheng? Will he be abolished again, which is actually for the reform of the Ming Dynasty?

Looking at the golden-colored earth and the dazzling sky in the distance, Wanli's heart suddenly surged with an impulse that he must change all this! Why should I let them waste it?!

Looking at Lao Zhu again, his appearance of "hanging erlangdang" - it is said that this word is also an invention of Zhu Yidao - in Wanli's eyes, it seems to be a little different, is this guy sent by God to help him?

Wanli remembered Beizhen Fusi's investigation of Zhu Yidao, and said that he was very likely to be a descendant of Emperor Jianwen who fled overseas, but according to the secret documents in the palace, Emperor Jianwen had been found by Chengzu, and he became a monk, so there were no descendants at all! Who should be trusted? That secret document was recorded and sealed after Cheng Zu personally asked the minister who went to look for it. There will be no fakes! But later, Beizhen Fusi made a completely opposite judgment on Zhu Yidao: this guy doesn't learn and has no skills, and he doesn't look like a Ming person in all aspects such as speaking and living habits, he said that he is from Nanyang has a lot of credibility, because according to Zheng He's records, Nanyang is far from the Ming Dynasty in all aspects, and his living habits are not the same as the Ming Dynasty, and to a considerable extent, he can transform Nanyang according to the model of the Ming Dynasty. In this way, there should be no problem with this Zhu Yidao's identity.

But Wanli still didn't expect it, and Lao Zhu himself didn't expect that his identity would bring him an uproar in the future!

Then the person should be reusable. Didn't he say that he didn't like to be an official, and now it seems that he really doesn't have this mind - a person who has returned from Nanyang should think about survival the most, instead of thinking about being an official all day long like those wastes who are full of poetry and books. It seems that he can only force him, it doesn't matter, when he reaches a certain position, someone will naturally force him to keep climbing up.

What is officialdom? Officialdom is not a place where you can go up if you want to, and you can go down if you want to, to a large extent, you are forced to move forward by others, because you can't go back, and there is no way out! This is a road of no return, and there has never been a return on this road since ancient times! On the day of success, at the peak of life, your only way out is death. Did Yao Guangxiao really retire? He did not retreat, when he heard that Chengzu had mastered the world and stabilized the world, he made a real way to quit: die in front of Chengzu.

On March 18 of the second year of Yongle, Yao Guangxiao died of illness in Qingshou Temple in Beijing. He was 84 years old.

So if Zhu Yidao really wants to retreat, he can only choose to die in front of Wanli. Only death is the ultimate retreat of officialdom and the final liberation!

Lao Zhu felt that someone was watching him, turned his head and found that Wanli was staring at him with burning eyes, stopped singing with some embarrassment, and smiled apologetically at him. It's just that Wanli happily opened his big mouth at him.

Zhu Yidao suddenly felt a little cold, so he tightened the clothes on his body.
