Someone once counted that the dynasty was the dynasty with the most emperors in all dynasties, including Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, Xuanzong, and Yingzong.

It is precisely because the emperors often drove the imperial expedition in person and attached more importance to the control of military power, so the Ming Dynasty did not emphasize literature and suppress military force at the beginning as much as the Song Dynasty. It is roughly a situation of equality between civil and military forces.

However, because the situation has completely changed since the Tumubao Change, Zhu Qizhen, who was extremely straw baled, led an army of 500,000 troops to conquer Mongolia in person, but in the end he was beaten to the head, and he was also arrested, and he almost failed to come back.

That change dealt an unprecedented blow to the Ming Dynasty, and the pattern of the Ming Dynasty has also changed since that time.

First of all, the ministers regarded the matter of the imperial conquest as a tiger, and secondly, the military power of the Ming Dynasty gradually fell into the control of the Wenchen. Civilian officials are in charge of the government on the left and military power on the right, and the power of the power is unparalleled for a while. Since the Ming Dynasty officialdom, there have also been dark cases of military generals seeing civilian officials and automatically being three levels shorter.

Therefore, when Zhu Houzhao proposed that he wanted to drive the expedition in person, even Yang Ting and the cabinet chief assistant who was personally promoted by him immediately spoke out against it.

Yang Tinghe had just spoken out, and the rest of them, like Liu Zhong and Liang Chu, also immediately began to oppose it.

What everyone said was roughly the same, what were the "sons of daughters can't sit down", "gentlemen don't stand under dangerous walls", "the emperor's safety is related to the country, the society, and the free generals will go out in war." "Wait

Zhu Houzhao didn't expect Yang Ting and them to react so violently to the matter of his own royal conquest, he frowned and said, "Okay, this matter will not be discussed for the time being." Rong Zhen thought about it one or two, and made a decision tomorrow morning. ”

Yang Ting and them thought that Zhu Houzhao had dispelled the idea of going to the imperial expedition in the future, and several people immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said in unison: "The emperor is wise, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live." ”

After the small council of the Qianqing Palace was dispersed, Zhu Houzhao dismissed everyone, and was alone in the Qianqing Palace, thinking about how to persuade his ministers tomorrow morning, and then lead the troops to the battle.

At the same time, Jiang Xia, who had just returned to Xiaoyao Villa from the kindergarten, met Geng Zhongqiu. As soon as Geng Zhongqiu saw Jiang Xia, he immediately said: "Master, something happened."

In Jiangxia's study, Geng Zhongqiu told Jiangxia about the entire Henan rebellion. Jiang Xia was furious when he heard this: "Bastard, what are Liu Jin and Huang Feiyue eating?" Such a big thing happened in Henan, and I only received the news today? ”

"It's a pity, our royal dragon detective has just been established, and the scope of the news has not yet covered Henan, otherwise we will definitely receive the news in the morning, and it will not evolve into the current situation." Geng Zhongqiu said.

Jiang Xia turned over the news that Geng Zhongqiu said in his mind, and then shook his head and said: "This is not right, the emperor is ready to build a river embankment on the Yellow River once and for all, so a total of two million taels of silver have been approved before and after."

But now that the Yellow River has burst its embankment just after the autumn flood began, is the two million taels of silver just gone? I'm afraid someone is greedy for this money. ”

Geng Zhongqiu often stayed in the royal family, and his sensitivity to politics was not low, as soon as Jiang Xia said this, he muttered: "If it is really greedy, first of all, the Ministry of Industry will definitely not be able to escape responsibility, and secondly, the Ministry of Household will definitely have problems." ”

"Henan Chengxuan's political envoy Sibu political envoy, and the Fu Yin County Decree along the Yellow River embankment are also impossible to clean. Secondly, Liu Jin and Huang Feiyue, I don't believe they didn't get a piece of the pie. Bastards, they are also greedy for this kind of silver that will cut off their children and grandchildren. Jiang Xia said angrily.

Suddenly, Jiang Xia remembered that the top priority at present was not the question of who was responsible, but the first solution to the problem of the rebellion in Henan.

Jiang Xia asked Geng Zhongqiu: "How is the emperor going to deal with the current matter?" ”

Geng Zhongqiu nodded and said: "Before I came, Lord Liang sent someone to send a message to the royal family Longtan, and he asked me to tell you, so that you must persuade the emperor no matter what, and don't let him drive the expedition in person." ”

"What? The second child wants to drive the expedition in person? When Jiang Xia heard this, he immediately scolded in his heart: "Isn't this nonsense?" It is not a big battle to determine the fortunes of the country and promote the prestige of the country, it is just a rebellion of ordinary people. Is this also worth the royal drive? I'm afraid I'll laugh off the big teeth of the world. ”

Jiang Xia stood up suddenly, originally preparing to go out and immediately go to the leopard room to persuade Zhu Houzhao, but after he stood up, he sat back again.

Jiang Xia pondered for a while, and then said to Geng Zhongqiu: "After I go back, everyone who helped me pass on the royal family dragon detectives will say that no matter who asks me, they will tell him that I am ill and have not been to the yamen recently. In another moment, you went out and told Han Mufeng what I meant, and asked him to inform the people up and down of Xiaoyao Villa. ”

Geng Zhongqiu was a little puzzled and surprised: "Boss, are you not going to take care of this matter?" ”

Jiang Xia nodded: "No matter, it's just a chaotic people, as long as the method is appropriate, it can be solved soon, if I go out and check the Yellow River embankment to build silver, it will definitely fall on my head, then it is an errand that offends people." ”

"Good. The subordinates understood. After speaking, Geng Zhongqiu saluted Jiang Xia and left.

The next morning, Jiang Xia said that he was ill and did not go to court.

Such a big event happened in Henan, so all the civil and military officials were a little nervous when they went to court. accompanied by the eunuch's voice "The emperor has arrived"

The civil and military officials immediately knelt on the ground and shouted long live: "The ministers knock on the emperor, may my emperor live long live, long live, long live." ”

Zhu Houzhao walked up to the square platform and sat down on the dragon chair with great interest, and he raised his hands and said, "Zhongqing's family is flat." ”

"Your Majesty." The hundred officials stood up.

Zhu Houzhao said: "I believe that all the Qing families know that the Yellow River is overflowing and bursting the embankment and the people in Henan are causing chaos, and the rest of the things in the early court today can be put aside first, the main thing is to discuss how to deal with this matter." ”

After speaking, Zhu Houzhao glanced at the Ministry of Industry Shangshu, and said lightly: "I took out a full two million taels of silver to build the embankment of the Yellow River this time, who else in the past dynasties has produced so many silver taels to build the embankment of the Yellow River?" Did my two million taels go down the drain like this? If I don't get an explanation for this matter after I deal with the rebellious people in Henan, anyone who has something to do with this matter can go home first, wash their necks, and wait for their heads to hit the ground. ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers are terrified." Gongbu Shangshu fell to his knees first, trembling all over.

Zhu Houzhao sneered and said lightly: "Panic? If you walk upright and sit up straight, what is there to fear? Get out of the way, now I have to discuss with the civil and military officials how to deal with the rebellion of the people in Henan. ”

"Yes, yes" Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, a dignified and second-class official really listened to Zhu Houzhao's words and rolled to the edge of the Taihe Palace.

Zhu Houzhao didn't glance at the Ministry of Industry anymore, but glanced at the ministers below and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, is there a way to deal with the chaos of the people in Henan?" ”

"Back to the emperor." Yang Tinghe was the first to stand up, saluted and said: "The reason why these people are in turmoil is nothing more than because natural disasters and man-made disasters are undoubtedly going on to make their livelihoods, so they take risks. If you want to calm down this matter, it must not be difficult, as long as the imperial court immediately sends grain and grass for disaster relief, and then sends elite troops to quell the chaos, I believe that the matter can be calmed down soon. ”

Zhu Houzhao sneered twice and said, "Diao people are anti-me, and I still want to send grain and grass to help them?" I think that it is because I will make an example of such people, and if I lead a large army to conquer in person."

As soon as the four words of the royal driver and the four words of the expedition were spoken, the ministers immediately objected, and Yang Tinghe knelt on the ground and said loudly: "The emperor is the pride of the sky, and his personal safety is related to the society of the country, and I hope that the emperor will not risk his life." ”

"Please don't put yourself in danger." The ministers fell to their knees and shouted.

Zhu Houzhao didn't get angry this time, he smiled slightly and said, "I have long guessed that you will not agree to my personal expedition, but it doesn't matter, I will personally order the generals today." ”

"Spread the decree, Henan Diao people should be punished for their crimes, and now for the civilian chaos, Zhu Shou is canonized as the general of the Zhenguo, and leads the Shenji Battalion, Hu Benwei, Yu Linwei, and Jin Wuwei to Henan to quell the rebellion."

The ministers were all relieved when they heard that the emperor did not have the idea of driving the expedition in person, but Yang Tinghe, who was in charge of the ministry, and Wang Qiong, who was in charge of the military department, were confused.

Who is this Zhu Shou? Why don't you seem to have heard of it?

Zhu Houzhao got up immediately after giving the holy decree, waved his big hand and said: "Let's stop here this morning, retreat from the court." ”

"Congratulations to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live."

After Zhu Houzhao left the Taihe Palace, he returned to the Qianqing Palace, and not long after sitting down in the Qianqing Palace, Zhang Yong entered the palace to report to Zhu Houzhao, saying that Yang Tinghe and Wang Qiong were coming.

After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao asked Zhang Yong to bring the two in.

Entering the Qianqing Palace, Yang Tinghe and Wang Qiong first saluted Zhu Houzhao, and then Yang Tinghe asked Zhu Houzhao: "Dare to ask the emperor, there is no official named Zhu Shou in the official department papers, who is this Zhu Shou?" ”

"There is no record of this person in the military department, the general of Zhenguo is from the second rank, and it is generally used to confer the sons of the county king, but when the dynasty was dispersed just now, Weichen also asked the Zongren Mansion Zongren Order, and they also said that there was no record of this person. Who this person is, please ask the emperor to make it clear. Wang Qiong saluted Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Hou looked at the two of them, and suddenly raised his head and laughed.

"Zhu Shou was born with the fortune of heaven, has a ninety-five life, and was born tall and mighty, who do you think it should be?"

Yang Tinghe was stunned for a moment, Zhu Houzhao's sentence "tall and majestic and heroic" is, but "born with the fortune of heaven and has the life of the Ninth Five-Year Plan" doesn't it mean that this person has the qualifications to be the emperor?

Yang Tinghe muttered: "The emperor is Zhu Shou? ”
