Zhu Houzhao is not stupid at all.

This person is quick to think and energetic, just because he found out that the civil official group was restricting him, he hollowed out his mind to oppose the civil officials and doctors of the Ming Dynasty, and built a leopard house, nominally a place to tame beasts and play, but in fact he secretly dealt with important military affairs, and wanted to take back the power of the emperor from the civilian group, and the power of the emperor of the entire Ming Dynasty was greatly restricted, and Zhu Houzhao could not stand this restriction, so he would do all kinds of unbelievable things.

Because of this person's disobedience, he died extremely strangely, and he was shocked by flooding, and he died in March.

When later generations studied the cause of Zhu Houzhao's death, there were many conspiracy theorists, saying that Zhu Houzhao was killed by the original civilian-official group, and the person who was most likely to be the murderer was his lecture teacher Yang Tinghe. When the treatment was ineffective after a serious illness, Zhu Houzhao asked to change the imperial doctor and find someone from the people, why would Yang Tinghe and others deliberately obstruct him?

All kinds of records in this have to make people have all kinds of associations, that is, the evaluation of Zhu Houzhao in later generations also has two extremes, some say that he is sage, some say that he is absurd, and all kinds of evaluations are inconsistent.

But that's just the inference that later generations have drawn through the clues in the history books, and Zhu Houzhao in Xiao Li's flying knife is not a person at all, but the name is the same, this Zhu Houzhao in front of Yang Xingzhou, in Yang Xingzhou's opinion, is really extremely shrewd, that is, the internal cultivation is also extremely profound, and the people around him who can surpass him in cultivation are afraid that only the great eunuch Liu Jin and the great Confucian Wang Yangming, even Jiang Bin, who has a very advanced martial arts cultivation, is not as good as him.

"I Da Zhou has no intention of offending the Ming Dynasty, you said that the Great Zhou outflanked the Ming Dynasty, but in fact, it was just that we took advantage of the situation, took Goryeo and Tatar, and took the small southern countries, which formed a situation of encircling the Central Plains. Brother Zhu, if I wanted to attack the Central Plains, I would have attacked a long time ago, so why wait until now? I am also a citizen of the Central Plains, and I will not go to war against the Central Plains unless necessary. ”

Yang Xingzhou glanced at Zhu Houzhao, "So in order to reduce friction, I proposed to Daming, and gave birth to children and grandchildren with Princess Daming in the future, the two families are friendly, and the children and grandchildren help each other, form an eternal covenant, and resist foreign enemies together, this is what I really want to pursue!" ”

Zhu Houzhao will be suspicious, "Brother Yang, I know how powerful you are, and I know your personality, I can't believe your words." ”

"You'd better believe it!"

Yang Xingzhou shook his head and sighed, "I really don't want to see the Ming Dynasty close the country, step by step, and want to help it, so I will propose to the Ming Dynasty, otherwise, I just need to wait patiently for a few years, the Ming Dynasty will not attack itself, the eunuchs will be autocratic, the monarch and the minister will confront, sooner or later there will be a big problem, and then I will wave my troops into the customs, how can you stop it?" ”

Zhu Houzhao didn't believe it, "Just kidding, what kind of eunuch dictatorship?" How did I not know? ”

Yang Xingzhou said with a smile, "The great eunuch Liu Jin is full of words, brutalizes the people, and kills Mr. Yangming several times, flying and domineering, lawless, many things you do are what this Liu Jin picks up, he is not a dictatorship, who can be considered a dictatorship?" ”

Zhu Houzhao's face changed color slightly, Liu Jin was his personal eunuch, and he had a very deep relationship with him, and many people had already exposed Liu Jin's domineering to him, but they were all suppressed by him, after all, Liu Jin was as docile as a dog in front of him, and he was extremely respectful in his words and deeds, and there was no offense, so Zhu Houzhao had always had a hard time believing that Liu Jin would do such a hurtful thing.

But now even Yang Xingzhou has talked about Liu Jin's eunuch dictatorship, Zhu Houzhao has to take it to heart, after all, others say that Liu Jin is autocratic, and it may be that Liu Jin is framed, but Yang Xingzhou, as the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty, will never be untrustworthy, since he dares to say so, there must be evidence.

As he was groaning, he heard Yang Xingzhou continue, "Besides, your courtiers, do you know why they oppose the opening of the sea? That's because the maritime trade is a huge profit, and they deliberately prevent the opening of the sea in order to dominate the maritime trade, and only in this way can they get the maximum benefit and not have to pay taxes. There are many rich households in the south of the Yangtze River, the land annexation is extremely serious, and the people do not have enough to eat, but every member of the imperial court has thousands of hectares of fertile land, and they do not have to pay taxes. Hehe, most of the silver in the Ming Dynasty went into the hands of these local scholars, so they didn't pay taxes, because they had a special status and could be exempt from taxes. ”

In this way, the imperial court can only collect taxes from the poor people, but the rich cannot collect them, so that the poor want to get poorer, and the rich get richer. Hehe, the reason why the people are against is that most of them are forced by the imperial court. If you keep going like this, the Ming Dynasty is not far from the end of the day! ”

After Yang Xingzhou finished saying this, he didn't say more, leaned on the wall of the car, closed his eyes and recuperated.

Zhu Houzhao, who was opposite, had an extremely ugly face and was silent.

After arriving at the leopard room, Yang Xingzhou and Zhu Houzhao secretly discussed for a day, accompanied by only Wang Yangming, what the two of them discussed on this day has become a mystery for the ages, but after the next day, Zhu Houzhao promised Yang Xingzhou, the lord of Yunluo County of the Ming Dynasty.

This Yunluo county lord is the daughter of Zhu Dechao, the king of Fu, twenty-eight years old, active by nature, the most like to ride and shoot, stubborn and abnormal, often take the maid out of the city to hunt, and also disguised himself as a woman to walk in the rivers and lakes, and Li Xunhuan's wife Lin Shiyin acquaintance, was passed on a lot of exquisite martial arts, because of restlessness, injured a lot of peers, became a tyrant in the city, no one can help.

In the past few days, he happened to come to Beijing to visit relatives, and he disagreed with Zhu Houzhao, so he immediately fought, and Zhu Houzhao's nose and face were swollen, and he was embarrassed to go to court, and he dared to go out three days later.

Now that Yang Xingzhou is asking for marriage, Zhu Houzhao did not hesitate to stuff this scourge to Yang Xingzhou, and he didn't have any reluctance at all.

After getting the promise, Yang Xingzhou and others lived in the capital for a few days, leaving a group of people waiting to welcome the bride abroad, and the rest of the people were going to return to the Great Zhou.

On the second day after Yang Xingzhou left, the great eunuch Liu Jin was taken down, put into prison, and then found out his guilt, the piles were unforgivable, Zhengde was furious, and he was executed by Ling Chi, and his meat slices were sold on the execution ground, and the people rushed to buy them, and everyone ate his flesh, which shows how much resentment Liu Jin has caused.

After that, the rest of the eunuchs and favored ministers around him were also killed by Zhu Houzhao one after another, and the entire court was shaken, and many people who had close contacts with Liu Jin in the past were also arrested, and then Li Boyuan, one of the first assistants, took the lead in attacking Yang Tinghe, and the Jiangnan faction and the Jiangbei faction in the middle of the country began infighting, Zhu Houzhao mediated in the middle, and used his strength to exert his strength, and only at this time did he experience the joy of being an emperor.

Let his subordinates disagree, and arrange in the middle, this method is the first method that Yang Xingzhou handed over to Zhu Houzhao.
