A large-scale palace complex has now been built in the southwest of Taiye Pond in the Xiyuan Imperial City of Beijing, which is the place where Zhu Houzhao was hacked in the future.

Leopard room!

The leopard house was built in the second year of Zhengde, and it took several years of work to spend two or three hundred thousand taels of silver, of course, even if the palace was built to make the already stretched finances of the Ming Dynasty worse, it was nothing, and the main reason why the civil officials were angry was the emperor's evasion!

As one of the worst emperors in history, Zhu Houzhao's newly built leopard house not only kept a large number of birds and animals, but also filled with countless beauties for his enjoyment, and hundreds of thousands of armor soldiers for the emperor to practice to satisfy the emperor's personal preferences.

Zhu Houzhao is indeed absurd, let alone a good king, at least compared with his father, Emperor Hongzhi, he does not meet the standards of the so-called holy monarch at all.

But to say that he is a faint gentleman is simply a fart.

For Zhu Houzhao, who has a detached temperament, the influence and oppression of the civil official clique are like a tight hoop on his head, which makes him annoyed and extremely worried.

He is the eldest son of Emperor Hongzhi, the orthodox prince who can no longer be orthodox, and he has received imperial education since he was a child, as long as he is not mentally retarded, how can he not know the emperor's mental skills, and he does not know what is the way of balance.

After sitting on the throne, Zhu Houzhao was already annoyed in the face of civil officials who chattered all day long and were no different from flies, of course, if it was just annoying, it would be forgotten, and the big deal could be ignored, but the new monarch who ascended to the throne also had to face the resistance and constraints of the civil official group, making him the emperor tasteless.

In order to change this situation of the dominance of the civil official family, he reused eunuchs such as Liu Jin to restrict the civil officials, but Liu Jin almost had to use the knife because he couldn't stand the oppression of the civil officials, so Zhu Houzhao chose to avoid it and build a new leopard house, the purpose is to avoid the frontal oppression of the civil official group, not to be a quail, but to resolve the oppressive forces formed by the civil officials.

He succeeded, after living in the leopard room, he no longer had to talk to the chattering officials every day, and the ministers had to go to the leopard room if they wanted to find the emperor, and they might not be able to see it even if they worked hard.

Even if the emperor is a mascot, but he is also the emperor, there are many things to do as a courtier, if you bypass the emperor and make a decision casually, it is arrogance, to say that it is serious, or even not a minister!

As a Confucian minister, and a scholar with lofty ambitions based on the court, what does he value most?

It's a name! Especially after his death, no one wants to be in power when he was alive, but after he died, he was exhumed and his body was nailed to the pillar of shame in history.

Therefore, the emperor who armed himself with evasion was condemned by the civil officials, but Zhu Houzhao didn't take it seriously at all.

The civil officials who had no choice but to smear the leopard room and describe it as a place of arrogance and lewdness, and then put a faint hat on Zhu Houzhao's head.

However, after Zhu Houzhao died, he was called Wuzong, what is Wu?

It is not an absolute compliment to be called a martial artist, after all, there is a great feat, and the elements of reckless military force are included, but it is definitely not a derogatory, otherwise you will make Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Guangwu embarrassed.

You must know that Zhu Houzhao is one of the emperors who was affirmed by the great leader, how could he be the faint monarch who fainted to his grandmother's house described in the history books.

To put it bluntly, Zhu Houzhao is still an affirmation of his life's achievements, and I think it is also because the civilian clique knows what not to do too much, otherwise things will be reversed, and they may be the ones who are spurned.

As for the rest, it should be how black and how black, without the slightest softness.

This Zhu Houzhao is lying on the dragon bed eating fragrant and delicious fruits, holding Zhu Houwei's recital in his hand, and Xu Zhenqing's recital next to him.

For this younger brother in Huzhou, Zhu Houzhao is extremely concerned, this is not to say how wary he is of his younger brother, so he must always take precautions, this is pure nonsense, and it can even be said that if his younger brother Yongwang really wants to be his dragon chair, then he will definitely not hesitate, and immediately abdicate to give way to his younger brother without thinking about it for half a second.

The brother of a mother's sibling, who sits or not?

What's more, Zhu Houzhao is really tired of Beijing, a place that is almost a cage, and he lives an extremely boring life every day, what he yearns for is to be free, with a lustful voice and a dog, and it is best to be able to fight on the battlefield with a knife across the horse.

In this way, the vassal king seems to be more suitable for him, and even if he can't conquer the grasslands, it seems that it is not bad to go to the south to fight the Japanese invaders.

"Zhang Yong."

"The slave is here." Zhang Yong, who didn't know where he was hiding, suddenly appeared.

"Go and tell the cabinet and let them draw up a plan to exempt Huzhou from taxes for three years."

"Slave and maid, go now." Zhang Yong sighed in his heart, he had also read King Yong's recital, and knew that King Yong applied to his master to exempt Huzhou from taxes for two years, but he didn't expect that the master was directly exempted for three years.

As for whether the Cabinet will agree to tax exemptions, there is no need to worry at all, so that those greedy and vain fellows will not do such a thing that damages their reputation.

"And that Huzhou prefect of Feng what?"

"Feng Rui." Zhang Yong cautiously reminded.

"Yes, it's this Feng Rui." Zhu Houzhao smashed his mouth and said: "Let him continue to stay as the prefect of Huzhou, tell him to work hard, since he has the recommendation of King Yong, I will not treat him badly in the future, but if Taihu Lake is not well governed, then go back to his hometown and farm."

"The slave understands." Zhang Yong thought about it and asked more: "King Yong asked the household department to allocate 100,000 ...... silver."

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Zhang Yong and said, "Is the household department rich?" Do you have the money to dial it? ”

Zhang Yong smiled.

"My younger brother is doing business in Huzhou, and I heard that he has made a lot of money, companion, you say, should I ask him to borrow something?"

Zhang Yong was dumbfounded.

"Forget it, how can I ask my brother to borrow money, and pass it on to people to make jokes, and the queen mother will have to bury me anywhere."

"That's what the master said." Zhang Yong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, almost all the vassal kings have a lot of wealth, but after all, it is the vassal king's own, they can dedicate it to the royal family, but do they want the royal family to ask for it?

Crying poor does not give you all the face, and giving it will inevitably have a grudge in your heart, and these are potential threats.

"Send someone to Huzhou, tell Hou Wei, and tell him that I will get married next year, and he must come to Beijing, and the queen mother thinks about him, and she also finds him a family affair, and then he will get married in Beijing or go back to Huzhou to get married."

"Master, if King Yong enters Beijing, I am afraid that the court will criticize a lot."

"The ancestral system, and the ancestral system, is there only the ancestral system and no humanity in the eyes of these people? I don't care, Hou Wei must enter Beijing, and those ministers who like to fart will let them go. ”

"The slave understands." Zhang Yong responded and retreated silently.
