"Your Majesty, those military attachés who speak martial arts actually forced the palace to death in the hall, which shows the deep foundation of Zhenguo Gong in the martial arts hall, and now Zhenguo Gong cannot escape the law, and the emperor must guard against those people who talk about martial arts and Xiaowu Army!"

Seeing that Emperor Xuande issued an edict asking Jin Ying to assist in revising the relevant records of Li Yuntian in the palace on the sixth day of the eighth month, Fang Liang, who was lying on the ground, couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, and then his eyes flashed with a hint of viciousness, and he looked up at Emperor Xuande worriedly.

"Passing on my will, Zhen Guogong is involved in a major crime of conspiracy and rebellion, so he is removed from one of his positions, and the decision will be made after the facts of the case are clarified." A trace of anger suddenly appeared on Emperor Xuande's face, and then he issued an edict to Jin Ying with an expressionless face.

Emperor Xuande was very annoyed by the dozen or so martial arts officers who committed suicide by poisoning themselves on the spot, and Emperor Xuande could not have imagined that those military attaches would commit suicide in public for Li Yuntian's sake, which undoubtedly deepened his suspicion and suspicion of Li Yuntian, and even more thought that Li Yuntian's tail was too big and had ill intentions.

After finishing speaking, Emperor Xuande, who had become a little excited, couldn't help coughing violently, and Jin Ying hurriedly stepped forward and patted him on the back with concern.

Emperor Xuande coughed and waved his hand to Fang Liang, and Fang Liang bowed down and retreated with amusement when he saw this, feeling particularly comfortable with Emperor Xuande's hostile attitude towards Li Yuntian.

"Looks like I'm coming to an end!"

After coughing violently for a while, Emperor Xuande removed the white handkerchief covering his mouth, there was a pool of blood with a somewhat black color on the handkerchief, Emperor Xuande glanced at it and said to Jin Ying with a smile, his words were full of helpless vicissitudes.

"The emperor is the true son of heaven, and he will live a long life." Jin Ying was taken aback when she heard this, and hurriedly bowed to Emperor Xuande and said.

"A long life is just the flattery of the world, think about those emperors of the previous dynasty, who can really do this?" Emperor Xuande shook his head, coughing softly and said with regret, "Emperor Taizu died in the year of Gu Xi, Emperor Taizong also passed the year of the sixtieth year, the first emperor is about to know the destiny of heaven, and I am not confused, I am really a little unwilling!" ”

"The emperor ascended the throne and loved the people, and after ten years of hard work, the Ming Dynasty is now thriving, the four seas are peaceful, the people are stable, and his cultural and martial arts are not inferior to Emperor Taizong!" Jin Ying's expression darkened when he heard this, he knew that Emperor Xuande's health was already very bad, otherwise he would not have decided to attack Li Yuntian, and said solemnly after a deep sigh.

"Emperor Taizong's ability to calm down is unmatched, and I am just a little stronger than the first emperor." Hearing this, Emperor Xuande couldn't help laughing, and said humbly, but his tone seemed to be full of spirit.

Indeed, after ten years of hard work, Emperor Xuande has successfully cleaned up the mess left by Emperor Yongle for many years with troops and counting the West, and now the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the treasury is full, plus the rebellion of the Han Dynasty, the suppression of the Jiaozhi rebels and the defeat of the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and their drive to Mobei, whether it is Wenzhi or martial arts, Emperor Xuande has actually surpassed Emperor Yongle, even Emperor Hongwu is difficult to reach his height.

However, Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Yongle both had the "merit of founding the country", so Emperor Xuande dared to compare with it, but history gave the most fair evaluation, saying that it was called "the rule of Renxuan" in the era of Emperor Hongxi's rule, ranking one of the three prosperous times in the early Ming Dynasty.

The so-called rule of Renxuan refers to a series of policies adopted by Zhu Gaochi of Mingrenzong and Zhu Zhanji of Mingxuanzong and Zhu Zhanji, which made the country prosperous and one of the three prosperous eras in the early Ming Dynasty.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the social economy developed through the recovery of the Hongwu, Jianwen and Yongle dynasties, and the social and economic prosperity appeared in the Renzong and Xuanzong dynasties.

Renzong stopped buying, redressed injustice, paid tribute to all accompanying assets, and benefited the people together, while Xuanzong implemented the policy of heavy agriculture, relief and punishment of corruption, and Yang Shiqi, Yang Pu, and Yang Rong, the cabinet scholars of the two dynasties of Renxuan and Xuanzong, made many achievements in taking charge of the government, so the reign of Renzong and Xuanzong became a rare period in the history of the Ming Dynasty when the officials ruled the Qingming, economic development, and social stability.

Later generations will call it "the rule of Renxuan", compared to the "rule of Wenjing" in the Western Han Dynasty.

In history, Ming Renzong and Ming Xuanzong are often compared to King Zhou Cheng and King Zhou Kang of the Zhou Dynasty, and Emperor Wen of Han and Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.

The so-called "good" refers to being able to inherit the legacy of the founding king and govern the country well.

History: "The rule of Renxuan, the officials are called their posts, the government is peaceful, the discipline is repaired, the cangyu is full of envy, Lu Yan is happy, and the year can not be a disaster." Gai Mingxing is sixty years old, and the people's morale is gradually relaxed, and there is a sign of peace. ”

Even in the Qing Dynasty, the historian Gu Yingtai once listed the volume of "Renxuan Zhizhi" in the "Ming History Chronicle", saying: "The Ming has benevolence and Xuan, and the Zhou has success and Kang, and the Han has literature and scenery." ”

The eleven years under the rule of Emperor Hongxi and Emperor Xuande can be described as the golden age of the Ming Dynasty, and there are countless beautiful words for this period in the historical materials, the two not only made achievements in the development of social economy, light punishment, thin taxation, admonition and employment, etc., but also eliminated the maladministration left over from the period of Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Yongle, making the Ming Empire unprecedentedly prosperous and powerful.

It is worth mentioning that the Ming Dynasty had five periods of social stability, called the "three prosperous times" and the "two major zhongxing", the so-called three prosperous times refer to the three prosperous times in the early Ming Dynasty, namely the rule of Hongwu, the prosperity of Yongle and the rule of Renxuan, and the two major zhongxing refer to Hongzhi Zhongxing and Wanli Zhongxing.

From the definition given by historians alone, it can be seen that Emperor Xuande's achievements during his reign have been able to keep pace with Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Yongle, while Emperor Hongzhi and Emperor Wanli can only use "Zhongxing", which cannot be called "prosperous".

"Your Majesty, Renguo Gong and Yi Chengbo are already in the middle of the house, do you announce that the two of you will meet?" Seeing that Emperor Xuande's mood had become better, Jin Ying bowed down and asked in a low voice.

Since Fang Liang entered the palace one step earlier than Chen Tai and Wei Xin, the two had to wait for the edict summoned by Emperor Hou Xuande in the side room to ask Emperor Xuande to read the relevant records in the sixth palace in early August.

"Xuan!" Emperor Xuande bowed slightly when he heard this, he knew that Chen Tai and Wei Xin must be anxious now, and they didn't know what to do, to be honest, no one could believe that Li Yuntian would make such a sharp counterattack in the court of the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion.

"Minister Chen Tai knocks on the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Minister Wei Xin knocks on the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

After Chen Tai and Wei Xin entered the palace gate, they knelt in front of the warm couch one after another to salute Emperor Xuande, and said loudly.

"The two Aiqing are even." Emperor Xuande coughed slightly when he heard this, leaned up at the void of the two, and then said to Jin Ying, "Give the two Aiqing seats." ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers are ashamed and dare not accept the emperor's grace." When Jin Ying heard this, he immediately beckoned the chamberlain in the room to bring two stools to Chen Tai and Wei Xin, but Chen Tai and Wei Xin did not get up to thank him, but still knelt there, Chen Tai said with a guilty face.

"I already know about the court trial, and the case of Zhen Guogong is very important, so we must find out about it." Emperor Xuande showed a smile on his face when he heard this, and said to Chen Tai with a kind expression, "Duke Renguo, I have already issued an edict to let the celebrant do his best to access the relevant records in the palace, you don't have to worry." ”

"Thank you for your grace." Chen Tai thought that Emperor Xuande would scold himself and Wei Xin, but he didn't expect Emperor Xuande's attitude to be so heard, and he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly thanked him.

The reason why Emperor Xuande was kind to Chen Tai was naturally for the layout of things after the prince ascended the throne, and the defense of the capital was the top priority, and he had to ensure that the military power of the Beijing army was firmly in the hands of the prince, so he wanted to win over Chen Tai with grace, hoping that Chen Tai could form a containment of Zhang Hao, the governor of the Gyeonggi Metropolitan Governor's Office.

In fact, Emperor Xuande did not believe Zhang Hao, Zhang Hao was the noble of Jingnan who followed Emperor Yongle, when Emperor Hongxi and the King of Han competed for the throne, he was one of the few nobles who stood beside Emperor Hongxi, and he made great contributions when he pacified the rebellion of the King of Han, so Zhang Hao's loyalty to the imperial power is beyond doubt.

It's just that Emperor Xuande's move is to take precautions and strengthen the prince's control of the Beijing army, for Emperor Xuande, who is already well versed in the way of control, he knows that only by letting the courtiers check and balance each other will the imperial power be the most stable.

Because Emperor Xuande was unwell, he encouraged Chen Tai and Wei Xin a few words before letting the two of them retreat, and then leaned on the warm couch while coughing and reviewing the music at hand, he wanted to lay a good foundation for the prince as much as possible before leaving.

At night, after Emperor Xuande fell asleep, Jin Ying, who had been waiting nearby, went to a secluded courtyard in the Forbidden City with an expressionless face.

"Lord Steward!" When Jin Ying walked into a room in the courtyard that was full of miscellaneous items, three eunuchs in Zhengfour-rank official robes who were sitting around the square table and talking in a low voice hurriedly got up to greet them.

"Sit down." After Jin Ying took his seat in front of the square table, where he had the most noble position, he pressed down his hand on the three standing eunuchs.

When the three eunuchs sat in their seats, the door of the room was slowly closed by the chamberlain brought by Jin Ying, leaving only the three of them and Jin Ying, as well as an oil lamp on the table that emitted a faint light, which made the room have an eerie atmosphere, which seemed extremely dull and depressing.

"Lord Steward, why did you summon the three of us here this time?" The eunuch sitting opposite Jin Ying was the first to break the silence in the room, and asked after lowering his voice.

This person is none other than Wang Jin, the chief eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor and the supervisor of the Dongchang factory, who went to Jiaozhi with Li Yuntian to investigate and deal with Ma Qi in Jiaozhi Town.

And the eunuchs who were fortunate enough to sit with Jin Ying and Wang Jin naturally had the most noble status in the inner court, namely Fan Hong, the second eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, and Yang Qing, the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch.

Obviously, the reason why the four most powerful eunuchs in the inner court gathered together in this remote grocery room was definitely not as simple as catching up with the past, there must be important matters to discuss!
