Sun Jizong, who followed Zhu Qizhen into Renshou Palace, answered, forcibly endured the tears that almost fell out, stepped forward to support Zhu Qizhen, and persuaded in a low voice. "Your Majesty, get up quickly, don't make Niangniang's heart anxious."

"Got it, uncle." Zhu Qizhen smiled at Sun Jizong, took a few steps forward, gently held the arm of the Empress Dowager Sun, and said softly: "Mother, son, I won't let you down again......

"The queen mother knows, knows that you are a good son, and you will also be a good emperor." Empress Dowager Sun held Zhu Qizhen's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that if she let go, he would disappear.

This night, the Empress Dowager Sun almost didn't sleep, and listened to Zhu Qizhen tell about his experiences and experiences over the past two years, although Zhu Qizhen tried his best to tell all this in a brisk language and relaxed tone, but listening to the ears of the Empress Dowager Sun, it still made her cry from time to time.

When it was about to dawn, I heard Zhu Qizhen say that it was the last battle, broke through the puppet Khan's court, captured the puppet prince and a number of nobles of the grassland headquarters, and the entire prairie finally completely succumbed and surrendered to Zhu Qizhen and the iron hooves of the Ming Dynasty, Empress Dowager Sun couldn't help but sigh deeply, looking at Zhu Qizhen's eyes, in addition to gratification, more is a kind of pride and pride. "Emperor, it is really ...... that you can do such a feat Even your great-grandfather, Emperor Taizong, did not do it. ”

"Actually, the child is also a fluke, if it weren't for the queen mother and your uncles secretly helping each other in Beijing, the child is afraid that it will be difficult to do anything in the Xuanfu." Zhu Qizhen explained with a somewhat embarrassed smile.

"Your Majesty, why should you be modest, the first emperors did not ignore the troubles of the northern frontier, as the fierce enemy of my Ming Dynasty, to the beginning of the establishment of my Ming Dynasty, it has been attacking each other with the remnants of Yuan and Meng, which lasted more than 100 years, but after the death of Emperor Taizong, ......" Speaking of this, Sun Jizong, who felt that he was a little speechless, couldn't help but smile and stop talking, after all, this involved Zhu Qizhen's grandfather and father, if he made it clear, it would really offend people.

Zhu Qizhen didn't care, and went straight to the topic, and then talked about returning to Beijing and entering the city. “…… In this way, the child was finally able to enter the Beijing Division and take charge of the overall situation. ”

"Okay, God bless, all the emperors bless, my son can come back safely and regain the treasure." Empress Dowager Sun couldn't help but feel palpitations and said, speaking of which, this last moment seems to be in danger, but if there is really a little difference, the mother and son may not be able to see each other in this life.

After -------------------- changed her mind, Empress Dowager Sun couldn't help but say angrily: "Then Yu Qian too, my son is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he is a military secretary, but he is so unreasonable, isn't my son doing enough?" I actually want to block it. ”

"The queen mother doesn't have to be angry, Yu Qian is a direct minister, and the one who did it is my Ming Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji, not to mention that in the end, he still figured it out, otherwise, the child doesn't know when he will return to Beijing." Seeing that Empress Dowager Sun was like this, Zhu Qizhen smiled and persuaded him. At this moment, he had already taken off his heavy armor and changed into a set of regular clothes, and his body was still sitting straight, warm and upright.

Looking at Zhu Qizhen, who was much stronger and stronger than when he left the capital two years ago, although he was wearing regular clothes, he still looked like a strong and burly son, Empress Dowager Sun smiled and bowed slightly. "Perhaps, you are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the mourning family is just scratching the hair, speaking of which, although Yu Qian is impartial, he still has some achievements in doing things."

"But the emperor, the mourning family wants to know what you are going to do with Zhu Qiyu." When Empress Dowager Sun said this, she raised her head and looked at Zhu Qizhen in front of her.

And Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but be stunned, his eyes swept away, and fell on Sun Jizong's face, Sun Jizong was also happy, stood up straight, and bowed to Zhu Qizhen to the ground. "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that if you don't punish King Yu, if the vassals have different aspirations and act in harmony, the Ming Dynasty will be in danger."

Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but have a headache, this is his uncle, and looking at the expression of the queen mother, I am afraid that he and his uncle Sun Jizong are the same thoughts, but, in this way, Zhu Qizhen feels that it is against his original intention, and more importantly, what he wants to deal with and clean up in the future is not only the external enemy of the Ming Dynasty, but also a large number of internal contradictions, and the most important thing is that the Ming Dynasty did not die from the external enemy, but died from internal worries. Knowing this, can Zhu Qi be cautious and vigilant?

In later generations, Zhu Qizhen also liked history very much, and because of this, he was also quite familiar with history, and did not discuss who was right and who was wrong, but only said the reasons for the fall of the Ming Empire. partisanship; [***]； Eunuch; Han Jian; economic system, etc...... And these reasons are all involved, it can be said that these reasons, like a spider web, termite colonies, eroded the foundation of the Ming Empire, and in the end, the invasion of foreign races was just the last straw that crushed the old camel of the Ming Empire.

Since Zhu Qizhen has come to this era, since he wants to save the future of the Ming Empire, he must make changes to these, and in order to make changes, of course, he must set an example, and the clan problem is what Zhu Qizhen needs to solve, an extremely urgent big problem.

The purpose of cutting the feudal domain is to stabilize the centralized power, and after Zhu Dijing succeeded, he naturally knew very well what kind of threat the feudal kings raised tens of thousands of troops to the central government. Therefore, Zhu Yunwen's unfinished great cause of cutting the feudal domain was taken over by Zhu Di, and during Zhu Di's reign, it was natural to further strengthen the monarch [***]. At the beginning of Yongle, the old seals of the kings of Zhou, Qi, Dai and Min were restored, but when their thrones were more consolidated, they continued to reduce the feudal domain. The kings of Zhou, Qi, Dai, and Min were once again plundered; King of Qianning in Nanchang; The king of the valley was in Changsha, and he was abolished as a concubine; Cut the Liao King's guard. All in all, all the vassal kings turned into a group of prisoners of noble status, who could enjoy endless glory and wealth, but could not have a little freedom.

Because of their superior political and economic status, and the inability to participate in politics and lead the army, they said that they had nothing to do, and the princes and grandchildren of the Ming Dynasty often married concubines and concubines, and bred a large number of dragon sons and grandchildren. Throughout the Ming Dynasty, the reproduction of the imperial clan population showed the characteristics of high birth rate, low mortality rate, and high natural growth rate. For example, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang gave birth to twenty-six sons, of which twenty-three sons have a queen, and Renzong Zhu Gaochi gave birth to ten sons, as for the guy that Zhu Qizhen crossed over, it was not bad, and before he passed away, he also gave birth to a total of nine sons, and his son Xianzong Zhu Jianshen had fourteen sons, and Shizong Zhu Houxi and Shenzong Zhu Yijun also had eight sons each...... (Add it to water, hehe.) In short, according to historical records, during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, the population of the Ming clan was only 58 people. By the time of the Yongle period, it had doubled in about thirty years, reaching one hundred and twenty-seven. In the eighth year of Jiajing, the population of the clan contained in the jade was 8,203, an increase of 6 times in 100 years. In the 32nd year of Jiajing, it increased by about 1.5 times to 17,661 people. During the Jiajing period, there were five princes, 80 county kings, generals, lieutenants, county lords, county lords, county monarchs, etc., a total of 1,890 people, the largest in the world. Only 16 years later, in the third year of Longqing, there were 28,491 princes, county kings, generals, lieutenants, and unnamed and untitled people, not including the female princesses, county lords, county lords, and so on in the royal family. In another twenty-six years, in the twenty-third year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, the population of the clan contained in the jade will reach more than 157,000 people. It is estimated that when the Ming Dynasty died half a century later, the population of the clan would have exceeded 200,000 people, as Wang Shizhen's "The Grand Event of the Emperor and Ming Dynasty" said, "unprecedented in the ages".
