Chapter 1226: The Unwillingness of the Empress Dowager Qian of Xiaozhuang (End-II)

Of course, this is a businessman.

Able to use commercial power to deal with.

The gentry are not so easy to deal with.

Their foundation is too solid, and they have occupied the top positions for a long time, they have long been deeply rooted and difficult to shake, and even because of the imbalance between civil and military forces during the first emperor's years, many military generals had to take refuge in civilian officials, so if they want to deal with the Shi clan and completely eliminate the threat of the Shi clan, Zhu Houzhao can only use the soldiers handed over to him by Qiao Mu to eliminate it.

Although in the end he succeeded without a hitch.

But his reputation was also completely ruined.

The tyrant is almost synonymous with him, but Zhu Houzhao doesn't care, because he has a lot to do next, and he still wants to achieve his dream of being a general.

Achieve your dream of sweeping through Unai.

Therefore, there are only two things he will do next, one is to continue to train soldiers, and by the way, he will stock up on food, so as to completely wipe out the shame of Emperor Yingzong's Tumubao Rebellion.

Another thing is to use the newly collected excess commercial taxes and tens of millions of taels of silver from the house to begin the initial restoration of free private schools in the former Song Dynasty in the more prosperous areas.

In order to open up the wisdom of the people.

lest a group of ordinary people be fooled by those scholars all day long like fools.

I don't know what to say right from wrong.

I can't even figure out who some policies are for, and life is in a blur.

The two things that Zhu Houzhao wanted to do were obviously not contradictory, and the production methods of various new weapons were gradually revealed to him by Qiao Mu, so within a few years, Zhu Houzhao successfully accumulated enough strength, gave himself the title of General of Zhengbei, and led the troops to go to the expedition in person.

As for the affairs of the government, to whom?

He obviously did not trust the civil servants.

He was worried that there would be a civil servant poking the basket in the back.

So in the end, he forcibly ignored everyone's obstruction and forcibly promoted the bionic machine that Qiao Mu sent to be responsible for cooperating with him to the first assistant.

And let her temporarily act as regent.

And this bionic robot is actually manipulated by the arbor, so the arbor who originally thought that he could enjoy his old age was forced to drive ducks to the shelves by Zhu Houzhao, a stinky boy, and continued to manage the government for him in the shell of the bionic robot, and also had to provide him with logistics services.

It's more tiring than re-employing in retirement.

But no matter what, Qiao Mu's own ability is absolutely speechless, the Emperor Empress Dowager and the Queen Regent and the like, she doesn't know how many times, managing a court where most threats have been swept away is naturally a breeze.

She sat in the back to manage the logistics.

Zhu Houzhao, who was in front of the imperial expedition, was not too comfortable, except for fighting, he didn't have to care about other things at all, coupled with the advantages of excellent weapons and other aspects, victory was a matter of course for them, a few victories such a fight, even if many literati would say that he was reckless or something, but for the people, especially in the north, the people who were deeply disturbed by foreign enemies, they had already begun to sing praises to him.

The people don't care about what kind of military force they want.

Anyway, there were no tax increases or conscriptions, and they were safer than usual.

Naturally, there is no reason not to support it.

People are sometimes like this, justice or something, it's just a fictitious noun, people are more concerned about the pros and cons, what is good for themselves is naturally the majority support, and those who have disadvantages for themselves are naturally strongly opposed, this is the human heart.

The voice of the people undoubtedly increased Zhu Houzhao's confidence, and in the next ten years, he never returned to Beijing, and he had been out to fight in the south and north, fighting everywhere, and it took fifteen years to restore the Ming territory to the peak of the former Yuan.

There is even a slight improvement.

At this point, Zhu Houzhao returned to Beijing with satisfaction, not that he really didn't want to continue to play outside, mainly because he was already in his thirties and had no heirs, the ministers and the royal family were very anxious, and the concubines in the harem who had been widowed for more than ten years were tired of playing mahjong, and they had enough of playing pai gow.

The most important thing is that the arbor is also in a hurry.

She is almost 100 years old over there, so she can't be allowed to continue to run the government, she is not so cheating on her great-grandmother, and it is too unconscionable to let such an old man work.

And if Zhu Houzhao did not leave an heir, no one knows whether the later ones will inherit his ideas and continue to do things according to the current method, so he must have heirs as soon as possible.

Even if it's just one, it's fine.

It doesn't even matter if it's a girl.

Anyway, there must be.

Because his family really has a throne to inherit.

The pressure from all sides and the fact that his soldiers also missed their hometown a little, so he could only come back.

However, this time when the class returned to the court, he did not immediately return to the capital as quickly as possible, but led the army up and down the country, similar to Qin Shi Huang's parade, and mainly did two things, one is to check the clans all over the country, strictly investigate the lawlessness of the clans, and the other is to clean up the gentry and corrupt officials around the country.

The clan is indeed a scourge.

To say that it is a moth is too light.

Zhu Houzhao inspected the whole country like this, and the princes of the Zhu family and the king of the county suddenly became ninety percent less, and most of the titles of the clan were wiped by him from the beginning to the end, and the illegal and criminal acts were endless, countless, and finally Zhu Houzhao, who was angry, directly abolished all the privileges of the clan.

And cut down hundreds of criminal clans, this time there will be no minister to stop it, anyway, this is their Zhu family's own housework, what does it have to do with them, let alone cut down hundreds of criminal clans, even if they are cut, it has nothing to do with them, why bother to stop it.

If they really stand in the way.

Maybe in two days, some people will spit on them, spitting on them for being lackeys and traitors.

This is the treatment of the clan.

The treatment of the inferior gentry and corrupt officials and petty officials in various places is actually similar, the last time Zhu Houzhao cleaned up in the court was only officials with relatively high status, because only those officials are qualified to face the saint at the time of the court, as for other relatively low status, although Zhu Houzhao later also severely punished a group, but after all, the number of people is too wide and too wide, it is difficult to cover everything, this time, he just took advantage of the effort of leading a million army to return to the court, and completely eliminated the remaining hidden dangers before.

No matter how powerful the snake is.

That can still defeat an army of more than a million.

Therefore, the journey went smoothly, and by the time he sent the million-strong army back to his hometown and only brought a few elite soldiers back to the capital, the Ming Dynasty could barely be described as Haiyan Heqing.

Even the bandits and horse bandits were almost wiped out.

After that, it's time to welcome and celebrate.

Qiao Mu also hurriedly manipulated the bionic robot to return the power of government to Zhu Houzhao.

Then he specially sent a bionic robot over to regulate the body of Zhu Houzhao and his harem concubines, so that they could give birth as soon as possible.

After another two years, after Zhu Houzhao had three sons and six daughters, Qiao Mu finally took back the bionic robot with confidence, and sent Zheng Jinlian back to the palace, and then retired leisurely.

As for whether Zhu Houzhao recognizes his mother.

How to educate children or something.

This arbor is too lazy to care.

Let him be.

Originally, Qiao Mu thought that she should probably go before Zhu Houzhao in her life, after all, the original body was indeed not good, and Zhu Houzhao was not hollowed out by wine under her training, nor was she injured or anything, and she was very healthy.

It's a bit hard to live to be 100 years old, but it should be easy to live to be 60 or 70 years old.

But who would have thought.

When Zhu Houzhao was fourteen years old, he handed over the affairs of the court to the eldest son, and he also called it the training prince, and then led the troops to the expedition again, this time he did not go to other places, but went to sea.

He has experience on land, and the probability of an accident is very low, but at sea, his experience is really insufficient, and the information left by Zheng He when he went to the West was basically destroyed by the minister Liu Daxia during the reign of his father, Emperor Hongzhi.

It's all about crossing the river by feeling the stones.

In addition, this guy is very curious and competitive, not long after the ship entered the sea, he encountered a whale, and he had to do something to catch the general.

Whaling had to be done in ordinary boats.

You have to do it yourself.

As a result, he accidentally capsized the boat, and was hit by a whale and fell into the ocean, although he was rescued later, but he was still seriously injured, and he had been feverish, and when he was sent back to the capital, he was no longer good, if Qiao Mu had been staring at it and saved it in time, he might be able to save it, but Qiao Mu didn't think it was okay over there, and he could rest assured that he could care for the elderly, so she was not in the capital at all.

I'm playing outside.

When I get the news and rush back.

Zhu Houzhao went to the coffin.

When she came, she could only attend the funeral.

This year, Qiao Mu was one hundred and sixteen years old.

Originally, she planned to die in the past two years, but the child left by Zhu Houzhao was too young, and Qiao Mu was worried that he would not be able to suppress the formation, so he could only take more medicine, renew his life for a few years, help him stabilize the government, and taught him a little for a few years, until he was one hundred and twenty years old, then he closed his eyes and passed away.
