Chapter 346: Confession
"The imperial brother fought thousands of miles on the grassland, defeated tens of thousands of enemy troops of the Tatar Department of the Ming Dynasty, captured countless people, and his record was comparable to the famous generals of the ancient times......"
Empress Dowager Zhang said unhappily: "The queen mother is a woman, she has no knowledge, she has been a husband and a child since she was a child, she doesn't understand your man's military affairs, and she doesn't want to understand, the queen mother only knows that the muddy boy is sorry for others, and now he dares to appear, so shouldn't he give someone an explanation!"
Hand over...... Let Zhu Houzhao apologize to the summer queen? This is really not difficult, but the apology must be sincere, obviously, with Zhu Houwei's understanding of the goods, the goods must not be sincere.
"The imperial sister-in-law is depressed in the palace, Hou Wei built a war palace for the imperial brother outside the imperial city, and when the imperial brother returns in the future, the imperial sister-in-law can reunite with the imperial brother......"
Xia Hou, who had never been able to see what was going on in her heart, raised her head slightly, if she had any feelings for Zhu Houzhao, it didn't exist, after all, she hadn't even seen her husband's face until now......
But the woman has three subordinates and four virtues, since she is married to Zhu Houzhao, then he is her own sky, this sky was once cloudy, but now the sky is clear, so she really wants to know what kind of explanation this husband who once abandoned herself, abandoned the throne, and made her lose face.
Now she also understands what the emperor means, he used to be the queen of Zhengde, but now Zhengde has become the king of war, and she is no longer qualified to stay in the palace.
It's not that the emperor wants to drive her out of the palace, it's just that if she doesn't speak correctly, her name will be unsatisfactory, and if she continues to stay in the palace, she will only be criticized by the world.
"What do you mean?" Empress Dowager Zhang looked at her daughter-in-law, and the meaning was very clear, if Empress Xia was willing to stay in Cining Palace, then even Zhu Houwei would not be able to drive her out of the palace, unless the eldest son who was not angry returned to the capital.
"But it ...... by His Majesty's arrangement"
Zhu Houwei nodded, and was about to say something when he saw Zhang Yong arrive at the door of the main hall with a panicked expression.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Houwei frowned, Zhang Yong, who had always been as calm as a mountain, would panic, which made him involuntarily have an ominous premonition.
"Your Majesty......" Zhang Yong took a few steps forward and knelt down and said: "I just received news that Lord Yan Songyan was seriously injured in an attack in Guangdong, and more than half of the three hundred guards were killed and wounded!"
"What!" Zhu Houwei got up from the case, and his face changed several times!
Empress Dowager Zhang and Empress Xia were bluffed, it can be said that although Zhu Houwei is ruthless, he has always been a humble gentleman in front of them, as he is now so angry, the mighty scene of the majesty has never been seen in the summer, Empress Dowager Zhang has only seen it once at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, that time she did not leave the slightest affection, fiercely reprimanded the two younger brothers, and it was after that that that the Zhang brothers relented a lot.
Yan Song, the head of the famous traitorous ministers of the Ming Dynasty in later generations, because Zhu Houwei changed the trajectory of his fate, perhaps because of the influence of the inertial thinking of later generations, Zhu Houwei wanted to make Yan Song a lonely minister, so he sent him to reform the mining policy.
It can be said that Yan Song did a good job, after all, it is impossible to become a traitor without ability and skill, although Yan Song is young, he is extremely old and spicy in dealing with mining affairs, which also makes Zhu Houwei decide to reuse it after he returns to the dynasty.
But now Yan Song was beaten and seriously injured, and even half of the three hundred soldiers of the New Army were sacrificed, what is this?
Conspiracy!
Yan Song was ordered by the Son of Heaven to reform the mining policy, how could Zhu Houwei not know that this was moving the interests of the nobles in the world, and businessmen without status could take risks for the sake of absolute interests, let alone the nobles!
However, Yan Song's handling of the mine politics for more than a year has been too smooth, and Zhu Houwei had the illusion that the nobles in the world are sick cats when they face the imperial power, but they didn't expect that even sick cats are sharp.
Yan Song's serious injury was a provocation by Xungui to the imperial power against him Zhu Houwei, to put it seriously, it can even be said that it was a heavy slap in the face of the world's nobles!
It can be said that after Yan Song's incident, the nobles in the world are waiting and watching, if this matter is not resolved, then the entire mining policy will inevitably be repeated, and Yan Song's previous efforts will be completely wiped out.
And this time, more than 100 soldiers of the New Army died, which made Zhu Houwei especially unbearable!
It seems that he is still too kind to Xungui after all.
When dealing with the clan, Zhu Houwei deprived the clan of the land, confiscated the land annexed by the clan, and did not touch the rest of the treatment, and even gave the clan the treatment of participating in politics and serving in the army as compensation.
After a series of reforms, hundreds of officials were guillotined, which is the inevitable price of reform, and Zhu Houwei really needs the heads of some officials to deter the entire officialdom.
However, Xungui has nothing to lose, and the benefits they have lost do not belong to them, but Xungui has forcibly seized the property that should belong to the state by virtue of his identity.
Therefore, the vast majority of nobles in the world know that although the emperor will hurt their interests by doing this, there is nothing to blame, and the emperor does not have to take back all the mineral deposits, but just change the name and let the nobles and the royal family earn together.
So even if the interests are touched, it is not so difficult for Xungui to accept, which is also the reason why Yan Song can go smoothly.
But now someone finally jumped out to obstruct the mine reform, thinking that the interests of the royal family and the nobles themselves are one, so the emperor will not move him?
Zhu Houwei, who had no reason, thought of Wanli's dispatch of the mine supervisor, Wanli was a rebellious child like Zhengde......
However, this child is more unlucky than Zhengde, in the ten years he ascended the throne, he suffered from the strong suppression of his master Zhang Juzheng, for Zhang Juzheng, he even regarded Wanli as his own child to cultivate, and he did feel that Wanli, who was not as young as a weak crown, could not govern the world.
However, in the mind of the rebellious young Wanli, the restraint of his master Zhang Juzheng and his mother became two insurmountable mountains, which weighed him and he couldn't even breathe, and finally he survived the master.
Without the suppression and restraint of the master, Wanli felt that he could completely control the empire, but what he didn't expect was that the master could suppress the Manchu Dynasty when he was there, and the master was gone, but the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty did not let him experience the slightest pleasure of being an emperor.
If he does a little wrong, he will be sprayed, he wants no silver, internal and external troubles, officials are corrupt, officials deceive his superiors and subordinates, and he is poor in the inner treasury......
So he sent eunuchs to collect mining taxes in various places, but Wanli never dreamed that the eunuchs he sent out would be beaten to death by local magnates......
Eunuchs are not greedy for money, who dares to collect taxes in this case, it is obvious that the local magnates even dare to kill the eunuchs sent by the emperor, this is not to put Wanli in his eyes, so that he has no fear!
