The Ming Dynasty, the government fell into corruption again.

Last month, Liu Jin instigated Zhu Houzhao to build the Xuanming Palace to worship the so-called Xuantian God.

The hundreds of thousands of taels of silver required were a huge expense, not to mention, the location of this temple actually occupied tens of thousands of acres of fertile land on the outskirts of Beijing.

How could the courtiers agree to build a temple dedicated to Taoist priests and of no benefit to the country?

This also made the contradiction between Wenchen and Liu Jin even more acute, and even the celebrant eunuchs Chen Kuan, Li Rong, and Wang Yue all joined the ranks of the admonitions.

Since Liu Jin instigated Zhu Houzhao to set up a large number of imperial villages, there have been more than 300 imperial villages in the Gyeonggi area, causing a large number of people to lose their land.

But Zhu Houzhao obviously didn't listen to the advice, he was addicted to fun all day long, and even the more Wenchen advised, the more he hated it.

When later generations talked about Zhu Houzhao, their evaluations were often polarized. But judging from various records, Zhu Houzhao has indeed been absurd for several years.

Liu Jin is just a eunuch of the Bell and Drum Division at the moment, and it is impossible to come up with any political opinions, so how can it be that the Wenchen at this moment is asking for the Eight Tigers, how can it be because they have reformed and moved the so-called Wenchen interests?

And less than a year after the death of Emperor Hongzhi, he was able to let the celebrants join the ranks of the Eight Tigers, which can only show that Liu Jin did rely on offering playthings, so that the entire Ming Dynasty fell into chaos and suspension.

In mid-March, for the first time, the ministers collectively admonished, and the celebrant and eunuch also responded together, asking Zhu Houzhao not to be greedy for pleasure and to give priority to state affairs.

Zhu Houzhao did not reply, but was bent on repairing Xuanming Palace.

……

The absurdity of the court was seen by everyone.

Nanchang Ning Palace, Zhu Chenhao looked at the information transmitted by the court, and his face was expressionless.

But my heart is crying out, this is really God bless me!

He is worried about the restoration of the palace guard at the moment, don't look at his intention to rebel, but he doesn't even have an arm.

This can only be blamed on the former King Ning, who was cut off by Emperor Chenghua to protect Tuntian because of his crimes, and since then King Ning has no private soldiers in his hands.

And if you want to plant forces privately, without a private army loyal to you, you can't talk about anything.

When he learned that Zhu Houzhao was so greedy for fun, Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, immediately saw the opportunity to restore the palace guards.

"The new monarch is so greedy for pleasure, it is really entrusted by the first emperor!"

King Ning handed down the letter and stood with his hands in his hands looking at the flowers and plants in the palace garden.

Strategist Li Shishi took it and looked at it, and after reading it, he handed it to Liu Yangzheng.

"Lord, this is a godsend!" Li Shishi's face was full of joy.

King Ning smiled faintly and said, "Those who help themselves, God helps!" What do you think should be done about the restoration of the guards? ”

Li Shishi stepped forward and said: "You might as well offer treasures to Xinjun, win his favor, and then ask for this!" ”

King Ning glanced back at him, shook his head and said, "It's not proper!" This is a big deal, even if the new king is ignorant, but the other courtiers have not taken advantage of it, how can they help the king speak? What's more, this is the palace guard, and the ministers with a heart will definitely advise on the grounds of restraining the vassal king, and there will be no one on either side to speak for the king, and the matter will be yellow! ”

"What does the prince mean is to adopt the ministers of the court first?" Li Shishi still doesn't understand.

Liu Yangzheng said: "What does the prince mean, is it enough to buy Liu Jin and other eunuchs?" ”

"Hahaha, what Mr. Liu said is extremely true!" King Ning said proudly: "The bones of the first emperor are not cold, Liu Jin can win the favor of the new monarch by offering all things, this is a eunuch who knows the temperament of the new monarch, and people are not stupid!" Judging from his manipulation of the Huangzhuang and his request to build a temple, this is also a very greedy person. So buy Liu Jin, this matter will definitely be caught! ”

"Yes...... Didn't the Chinese Wu and Si Li Supervisor of the DPRK not deal with Liu Jin? Can Liu Jin really beat them? Li Shishi worried.

"No!" King Ning said with a smile: "This is just an idle move, if Liu Jin is soaring, we have this relationship, and we will be like a fish in water." If he is defeated, this king will not lack this little sin. ”

Li Shishi was convinced, and exclaimed: "The prince is really wise!" ”

Liu Yangzheng also said: "If Liu Jin can really rise to the top, the government will be corrupted, and for the vassal kings of the world, the eyes of the court will not be able to stare at him for a long time, which will be ......"

Speaking of this, Liu Yangzheng stopped, this is the best period for King Ning to accumulate strength. As long as he is a corporal, attracts talents, recruits troops, and invites fame and prestige, he will definitely be able to have a foundation, and then the whole world will be disappointed in the government and the faint king, and the time will come.

A smile appeared on the corner of King Ning's mouth, and he asked again, "Have you found a way to deal with the Huang people?" ”

"Don't worry, the prince has already found it, and it is inconvenient for us to come forward, so we specially found a businessman as a Chinese person." Li Shishi replied.

"How's the intelligence going? How did the people defeat my Ming at that time? What kind of artifact is the smoking boat on the river, and why can it automatically go up the river without wind? ”

Li Shishi said with some embarrassment: "At that time, it was difficult to know the details, and the imperial court was also silent about it. I went to ask the merchants who were good friends with the Huang people, and asked some officers of the guard. Their statements are a bit chaotic, all of them say that the people are brave, the firearms are sharp, and a single shot can erode for several miles, and the soldiers are all long-handed, and they can take people's lives within a few hundred steps.

Some people also say that the people will only bully people with firearms, and as long as they splash the blood of black dogs and drench the urine of children, their cannons will not be able to explode, and their guns will not be able to go off.

As for the ship that emitted black smoke, it was said to be a steamer of the black people, driven by the power of fire and water. But some people say that this thing comes from purgatory, driven by evil spirits. Some people even swore that there were dozens of cattle on the boat, and they relied on the power of the cattle to drive. ”

King Ning's brows furrowed: "There are many mistakes, but this black man has sharp firearms, it should be true." But in Liankezhou County, tens of thousands of troops in the imperial court are difficult to counter, is it just relying on firearms? ”

"It's probably not bad, the imperial court has already organized a new army, and a large number of craftsmen have been summoned to make firearms, and firearms are not said to be the ones we are common."

Liu Yangzheng answered: "No matter what, since the people are rampant on the southeast coast and can enter and exit the Yangtze River, they can't turn a blind eye!" You must make friends early, if you can't be friends, I'm afraid it will become a big trouble! ”

King Ning deeply believes that the emergence of such a force on the Yangtze River cannot be ignored. He is going to cause trouble in the future, and the black people are also an inescapable existence.

If the fireboat is across the Yangtze River, then no matter how capable he is, he can't go down the river.

In the same way, if the Huang people are friendly with him and are willing to help, then with the advantage of the Huang people's firearms and ships, it will be easy for him to seize Jiangnan.

He sighed and said, "Let's go online with the people first, but I have to guard against it!" After all, the people are foreigners, no matter how you say it, it is impossible to really think about this king, and they can trade it, but they are only interested! ”

Li Shishi nodded and said: "What the prince said is that among the merchants in the southeast, there are rumors that they value business and profit. It is said that they are quite enthusiastic about business, and they have great prestige among coastal merchants, many of whom have gone to Dongqin to buy real estate, and the gentry also have an ambiguous attitude towards them. In the future, the people of the Tai people will be in the southeast half of the wall, I am afraid that they will be inescapable of existence! ”

King Ning nodded helplessly in agreement, and the good mood he had dissipated half of it at this moment.

If the Huang people seek profits, how many benefits can he, the prince, provide for the Huang people?

Unlike King Ning in another time and space, more than ten years later, the current King Ning is very poor! The inheritance is completely gone, and even the vassal king's guard has been abolished!

Therefore, restoring the guards is King Ning's primary goal at the moment, but this is not a problem for other vassal kings.

But he has the heart of an emperor, and he feels that the seat was given up by the ancestors in the first place, and it should be returned to their Ning Wang lineage again.

No matter how difficult it is, he has to do it step by step, at least so that when his son rebels, it will be easier than himself.
