But now the Ming royal family, the scenery is no longer there. During the orthodox years of the Ming Dynasty, the "Battle of Tumubao" not only made the Ming Dynasty from glory to decline, but also caused the Ming royal family to lose a large amount of money. In order to defend the capital, the empress dowager who came to that story still made two major decisions, the first was to establish Zhu Qiyu, the younger brother of Emperor Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, as Emperor Daizong, and the second was to open the royal treasury and take out the emperor's private property to support everyone in the defense war. Because at that time, in order to fight the "Tumubao Battle", both the court and the common people almost spent all their money, and they no longer had the ability to defend the capital. In order to keep the Ming dynasty from falling, in order to keep the Ming royal family, the queen mother had to take out her private property. And assure everyone that once the capital is defended, all the people will have a certain reward. In the end, the capital was saved, but the royal family spent a lot of money, plus it was necessary to dredge up the relationship and rescue Zhu Qizhen, the Emperor of Yingzong, who was captured by the Warat people, so the rich Ming royal family was greatly injured all of a sudden. After Emperor Yingzong Zhu Qizhen returned, Emperor Daizong Zhu Qiyu did not want to give up the throne. Emperor Yingzong Zhu Qizhen had no choice but to move to Nangong and lived a life of captivity. In order to be the emperor again, Emperor Yingzong Zhu Qizhen used almost all methods, and finally won over the general Shi Heng. Shi Heng finally helped Emperor Yingzong Zhu Qizhen regain the throne, but he also took the opportunity to take away a large amount of property from the palace. Emperor Yingzong Zhu Qizhen didn't know it, but for the sake of his own status, he had to let Shi Heng do it. After these major attritions, most of the royal family's property has been lost, and apart from some shops and land, the actual gold and silver property is not much.

When Emperor Wuzong Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, the imperial court had just recovered a little, and the royal income and expenditure had also begun to recover. Unexpectedly, Emperor Wuzong Zhu Houzhao was a master of spending, either spending a lot of money to buy weapons or equipment, and also building palaces and temporary residences all over the country. In addition, in addition to the most greedy money-grubbing eunuch "Nine Thousand Years Old" Liu Jin, the royal family's money is in trouble again.

After Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi became emperor, he tried to save as much as possible and tried not to spend a lot of money, but he still couldn't pay it. Lu Fang tried every possible way to find money, and finally found that he had taken a gold mine, which could basically maintain the daily expenses in the palace. But the good times didn't last long, Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi first became obsessed with women, collected a large number of palace maids among the people, and later played alchemy. Now I don't even eat food, although I have food money left, but I have a lot of unexpected expenses. Lu Fang felt more and more that these Taoist priests were not things, but they were encouraging Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi to spend money indiscriminately. Not to mention wasting money, and making Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi's body worse and worse. Lu Fang reminded Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houyu many times, but Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi didn't seem to listen at all. Lu Fang felt that Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi was gradually beginning to dislike him, and he also knew that his good days were coming to an end.

Huang Jin went to find Qin Tai, but Lu Fang didn't know. He also hoped that someone could help him persuade Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi. Although Hai Rui is too straightforward, he is a person who dares to tell the truth, but Lu Fang feels that Hai Rui's fire is not good and cannot play a big role. Qin Tai's appearance made Lu Fang's eyes light up, Qin Tai is a person who dares to act boldly, and his brain is smart, it's okay if he doesn't make a move, and he has the ability to turn the tide as soon as he makes a move. Therefore, Lu Fang let Huang Jin and Meng Chong command and deal with Qin Tai, and he waited for Qin Tai to not help but make a move. Although Lu Fang couldn't guess what Qin Tai would do, he knew that once Qin Tai made a move, the effect would definitely be something that he or Hai Rui couldn't do. Lu Fang put all his hopes on Qin Tai, hoping that Qin Tai could make Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi come to his senses, save the Ming Dynasty, and save Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi.

Although at this time, Lu Fang had nominally been grounded by Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi, and was locked in his courtyard and could not go out. But Lu Fang is not an ordinary person after all, especially in this palace. Too many people volunteered to be Lu Fang's eyeliner, and there would be people who regularly sent him information. So although Lu Fang has no freedom now, he has received no less news than before. In this West Garden's every move, anyone's words could hardly escape Lu Fang's control. As soon as Qin Tai and his wife entered Xiyuan, Lu Fang was already very concerned. He asked a few more obedient little eunuchs to secretly observe Qin Tai's every move, and come back to report every time he was tea. He knew that Qin Tai would not be so easy to bully, and he also knew that once Qin Tai had a seizure, this would definitely not be something that one or two eunuchs could bear.

When the first little eunuch came back and said that Huang Jin only sent someone to bring Qin Tai and his wife to the gate of Xiyuan, and then he would no longer pay attention to Qin Tai and his wife, Lu Fang didn't say anything on the surface, but he was also surprised in his heart. Why did Huang Jin do this? If you want to make a big deal out of it, you should bring it in directly, anyway, you have already offended people, and you have simply offended all of them. If you don't want to have a stiff relationship with Chen Hong and others, why let Qin Tai interfere? Timid and indecisive, it doesn't seem to be Huang Jin's style of doing things. Could it be that Huang Jin learned something? Or do you regret it? Or is there someone behind Huang Jin who is in charge? As soon as Lu Fang thought of this, he immediately stood up, pulled out a blank piece of paper on the desk on the side, picked up the brush in the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that had been prepared a long time ago, and wrote the names of several people on the white paper. Chen Hong, Xu Jie, Yuwang, Gao Gong, Old Man. Lu Fang's so-called "old man" is Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi himself.

Soon after, Lu Fang crossed the two names, and the feud between Chen Hong and Huang Jin was well known to everyone. Huang Jin is not only an opponent of Chen Hong's ascension to the position of the eunuch in charge of the seal, but also a person whom Chen Hong hates. As early as a few years ago, the two of them secretly pinched each other, and a year ago in the duty room of the celebrant and the celebrant simply fought without any face. Although Lu Fang secretly suppressed it, he was still known by Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi, and as a result, Lu Fang, Chen Hong and Huang Jin ate Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi and scolded him. Therefore, Chen Hong will not be the person behind Huang Jin, Lu Fang has recognized Huang Jin's godson for more than 30 years, and he still has this eyesight. The second person is Gao Gong, Gao Gong has always regarded himself as a literati, and he can be said to hate eunuchs, plus Gao Gong has a hot temper. The reason why Huang Jin will not join forces with Gao Gong is another reason that outsiders don't know. There is a piece of information in Lu Fang's secret file, which says that three years ago, Huang Jin was ordered by Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi to pass on the decree. It probably means to reprimand King Yu for meddling in local affairs. Unexpectedly, King Yu didn't say anything, but King Yu's teacher Gao Gong stood up for King Yu. He asked Huang Jin in front of everyone, did this mean the real meaning of Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi? On what basis did Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi reprimand King Yu? At that time, Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi had already ignored government affairs, and all major military affairs were handed over to the cabinet at that time, Yan Song and Xu Jie, as well as King Yu. Since Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi ordered King Yu to help deal with military affairs, then King Yu's handling of local affairs is justified, how can it be said that King Yu privately interfered in local affairs? Huang Jin was forced to almost lose control, and afterwards Huang Jin cheered and vinegared in front of Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi and said a lot of unfavorable things about Gao Gong. Unexpectedly, Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi, whose mood changed three times a day, was not only not unhappy, but also praised Gao Gong, saying that he was a good master who dared to stand up for his disciples. Since then, Huang Jin has hated Gao Gong, and when he has nothing to do, he secretly collects Gao Gong's unfavorable words and deeds, trying to find an opportunity to defeat Gao Gong at one time. Therefore, Huang Jin will not be a person with high arches, and high arches will definitely not and cannot command Huang Jin. So there are people behind Huang Jin, only it may be King Yu or Xu Jie, and it is not very likely that Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi is also very likely. But Yuwang didn't have a chance to have direct contact with Huang Jin, and he didn't have a chance to give Huang Jin an order. Could it be that the person behind Huang Jin is Xu Jie? Xu Jie is not only Huang Jin's fellow countryman, they are both from Jiangsu, and it is said that Xu Jie once helped Huang Jin's family. Could it be that Xu Jie has used Huang Jin's family to control Huang Jin? Then why did Xu Jie target Qin Tai? Zhang Ju is Xu Jie's beloved apprentice, and he is also Qin Tai's friend, Xu Jie should have no reason to target Qin Tai. Could it be that the rumors in the outside world are true, there are some gossip that there has been a gap between Xu Jie and Qin Tai's father, which can be regarded as Qin Tai's feud. Or is it because Xu Jie thinks that Qin Tai's actions hinder his layout, so he is ready to use the power of the eunuch to deal with Qin Tai?

Before Lu Fang could come up with a clue, the little eunuch came to report again. He said that Meng Chong's godson Meng Xiaoshi and Qin Tai were involved and were taking trouble for Qin Tai and his wife. After Lu Fang waited for the little eunuch to leave, he sneered. Meng Chong is as stupid as his godson, is Qin Tai so easy to bully? Once Qin Tai is in a hurry, if he does something, who will save Meng Chong, a fool? Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houyu must have an explanation at that time, whether it is Chen Hong or Huang Jin, he will definitely put all the responsibility on Meng Chong, and if Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi has nothing to do, it will be okay, if Qin Tai is angry or frightened, he will definitely vent all his anger on Meng Chong. Meng Chong, Meng Chong, you have been cautious all your life, but I didn't expect to have such irrational times. Who asked you to be the first to express unconditional support for Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi, if you had helped Lu Fang say a few good words, how could Lu Fang not help you? Now it's okay, Meng Chong's life is hanging, and Meng Xiaoshi's life is also hanging, just waiting for Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi to give an order.

When the little eunuch reported back to Lu Fang, Zhan Xiaoxiao beat Meng Xiaoshi, and Qin Tai went to the ancestral hall, Lu Fang immediately stood up. He couldn't help but laugh while waving his hand to ask the little eunuch to continue to spy on Qin Tai. is a good Qin Tai, his brain is really flexible enough. Lu Fang didn't think of this trick, and used the previous emperors to threaten and even teach Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi a lesson. At this moment, not only Qin Tai and his wife will not have any trouble, but Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi not only does not do what Qin Tai wants, otherwise the country will change hands. As Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi, why should he live forever? is a very eternal emperor, who will always dominate this throne, and he will not hesitate to offend all his sons for this, and he doesn't even want his sons. How could such an emperor abdicate the throne? For the sake of the throne, he can say that he will agree to anything, and he can sacrifice anything. Besides, Qin Tai is not an ambitious person, and he will never say anything that is not good for the country. Therefore, it is good for Lu Fang, for everyone, for the Ming royal family, for Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi himself, and for the people of the world, it is a good thing that will benefit and harmless.
