Chapter 498: Emperor Collapse IV

originally wanted to be tied up Yang Tinghe. And start to act.

Originally, the impeachment of King Yong's provocation was a hot spot, and with Yang Tinghe's secret force, countless twists and turns smashed into the leopard room as if they were flying, almost drowning the leopard room. Yang Tinghe privately revealed to several civil officials that Zhengde wanted to establish King Yong as the prince, and these civil officials immediately became excited, and also mobilized their protégés and former officials to write a book. However, he didn't say this thing directly, but instead knocked on the side, asking Zhengde to pass the family of the sect, instead of establishing the emperor's brother.

Zhengde looked at the mountains of twists and turns in front of him, and couldn't suppress the coughing in his chest, and the violent coughing sound almost collapsed the roof. Zhengde cheered up and said secretly: "Do you think it's easy to bully me if I'm sick?" "Zhengde brace his spirits and fight with these civil officials.

I don't know how many times this has been.

Zhengde knew that he couldn't be too anxious to deal with these civil officials, and he had to think about it slowly.

Zhengde remembered all the ministers who opposed him, and he decided that after this matter had passed, he would rebuke all these ministers and go home. However, for the sake of political stability, Zhengde felt that he would drag things out a little longer and complete the change of cabinet in a year.

After being the emperor for such a long time, Zhengde has long thought about it, Zhengde wants to deal with the entire civil official group, it is difficult after all, the difficulty lies in the imperial examination, the civil official group takes the imperial examination as the hub and becomes a system, even if the leader is defeated, the person who is replaced again is still from the imperial examination, an argument, between the emperor and the ministers, there must be a choice.

Generally speaking, it seems that for the sake of the so-called backbone, there are very few people who fall to the emperor, and civil officials regard opposition to the emperor as the supreme glory.

In the words to describe Hydra, there is no problem in describing the civilian-bureaucratic group.

But as an emperor, if you want to deal with a minister, there is a way, so it is to deal with a group of ministers, and the same is true. Even if Chongzhen is already the king of the dead country, killing the minister is like killing a chicken. I didn't see any of them.

However, Zhengde is sick in bed after all, and his energy is low. Therefore, the means of rectifying the cabinet had to be postponed. However, Zhengde no longer summoned the minister, and the Cold War with the ministers began.

Tang Yin, who was stationed in Beijing, wrote a letter to Zhu Houhuang about these monarchs and ministers fighting the law.

Zhu Houhuang looked at the letter and was silent.

Tang Yin's position in Beijing was awkward, and he couldn't get in touch with Xin Mi at the top, but he saw the dynamics of the government and saw the attack on Zhu Houhuang by civil officials, and one wave was better than another. Remind Zhu Houhuang to be careful.

Zhu Houhuang didn't care about this.

He believes in righteousness, and with righteousness, the more these civil officials impeach themselves, the more stable their position will be.

Because to deny him is to deny the merits of righteousness. Zhengde also hopes to take the Nanyang as the territory and get a better temple number after death. How could he punish him for these inexplicable reasons.

There is another reason, that is, Zhu Houhuang surrounded the Franc machine in Malacca and cleaned up the power of the Franc machine in the entire South Seas, and Zhu Houhuang became more and more confident.

Even if Zhengde wants to take down himself, it is not an easy thing. Zhu Houhuang did not underestimate the Ming Dynasty, it was precisely because Zhu Houhuang had mixed in the Ming army that he knew why Zhengde regarded Jiangnan Wei as a pig and a dog, and the current situation of the Ming army, that is, the south was not as good as the north, and the border army was not as good as the Beijing camp. And the elite of the Beijing camp is only two halls in the east and west, and the four armies outside are only tens of thousands.

Of course, the strength of the Dongyong army is not comparable to that of the Beijing battalion, whether it can compare with the border army, Zhu Houhuang does not know, but it is definitely better than the Jiangnan Guard. So even if Da Ming wanted to attack Dongyong, Zhu Houhuang believed that he could hold out for a few years.

Zhu Houhuang is too clear about some people's faces.

For those civil officials, if they can easily take Dongyong, they will support it as much as they can, but if they want to fight on the southern sea for several years, even Jiangnan will be implicated, they will immediately relent. When he shouts, he is louder than anyone else, and when he is asked to do it, it becomes a soft noodle.

With this confidence, Zhu Houhuang can regard these impeachments as nothing.

However, this letter also deepened the urgency in Zhu Houhuang's heart.

What made Zhu Houhuang urgent was not these impeachments, but that Zhengde fell into the water and fell ill.

In his shallow historical impression, it seems that among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, there is this way to die, but I don't know if it is righteous or not, but whether it is or not, it must arouse Zhu Houhuang's vigilance. Zhengde is followed by Jiajing. Jiajing is not an easy emperor to deal with. Especially for himself, an opponent who was once a rival for the throne. How will Jiajing respond? Zhu Houhuang had no bottom in his heart.

Secretly said: "I'm going to hurry up and know Malacca." "Because only by breaking through Malacca City, Dongyong has no worries, even if something happens to Daming, he can deal with it.

Zhu Houhuang had just received the letter and felt that it was time to inspect how the Beigang artillery was cast. But he heard that the Empress Dowager Wu passed him over.

If you want to end the battle of Malacca, you have to smash it with giant artillery. Although Dongyong's finances, under the joint efforts of Wang Yangming, Wu Xingzhi, and Xu Song, temporarily stabilized, established Dongyong Qianzhuang, and issued millions of taels of banknotes, which could be used in Dayuan, Beigang, Penghu, Fujian, Zhejiang, Ryukyu, Nagasaki, Haiphong, Da Nang, and Champong. Kuching, and other places can exchange silver taels, and you can also directly buy Shaofu's materials, or you can use them to pay Dongyong's customs duties.

Even the money of hundreds of officials was distributed in paper money.

However, even if the three of them used all kinds of means, the banknotes that had just been issued, as soon as they came forward, fell by several percent, but fortunately, under Wu Xingzhi's east and west, they also raised one million taels of silver as the principal, plus Shaofu in addition to supplying the front line, there is still excess capacity to buy, whether it is salt and iron, or ships, etc., can be purchased with equivalent banknotes, which makes the price of banknotes rise again.

However, even so, the price is only 90%. 、

With these millions of taels, there is no problem with Dongyong's finances in a short time, but the problem is that Dongyong's finances have been in a situation where they can't make ends meet and can't last long, so it is Zhu Houhuang's best choice to solve the battle of Malacca as soon as possible. And the heavy artillery that can solve the city wall of Malacca is the most important thing. Zhu Houhuang always cares about it.

But this time has been in a hurry. I haven't had a good conversation with Empress Dowager Wu for a few days, and since she summoned it, Zhu Houhuang immediately rushed over, after all, although the artillery was eager, it was also anxious for one or two days.

Zhu Houhuang saw the Empress Dowager Wu, and immediately saluted and greeted him, and after a long time in the Ming Dynasty, some etiquette also penetrated into Zhu Houhuang's bones, making him more and more like an ancient.

Empress Dowager Wu's face flushed and said, "Come, Huang'er, this is the concubine's letter." ”

Zhu Houhuang asked, "Is it the concubine's letter?" As he spoke, he took his hands from the hands of the Empress Dowager Wu.

The concubine only has Concubine Shao, Concubine Shao is the mother of Zhu Houhuang's father, Zhu Youzong, King Yong, that is, Zhu Houhuang's grandmother, but in terms of etiquette, Zhu Houhuang's grandmother is only the queen of the main palace of Emperor Chenghua. However, Concubine Shao is very fond of her grandson, and when Zhu Houhuang went south, Concubine Shao sent her own silver. And when An'er was born, she also sent a large number of gifts.

However, Zhu Houhuang knew that Concubine Shao was not having a good time in the palace, she was just a concubine of the previous emperor, and the power in the palace was already in the hands of the Empress Dowager Zhang, who was Zhengde's biological mother, but the Empress Dowager Zhang was extremely domineering, and Emperor Hongzhi couldn't resist her, and when Emperor Hongzhi went, Zhengde couldn't fight anymore.

Concubine Shao is under the hands of Empress Dowager Zhang, can she get well?

Therefore, Zhu Houhuang often gave gifts to Concubine Shao with great fanfare, just to let the people in the palace know that Concubine Shao has his grandson, so as not to be looked down upon by the dogs in the palace. However, Zhu Houhuang didn't care too much about Concubine Shao's letter, without him, Concubine Shao was just a woman in the deep palace, and everything she said was a short matter in the family, and it was strange that Zhu Houhuang could care. However, Zhu Houhuang took it and looked at it, and was immediately shocked, and the content on it greatly shocked Zhu Houhuang.
