In recent years, the emperor was happy to go out of the palace and went on a wild trip, initially going out one afternoon and not staying overnight.

But gradually, this tacit understanding was broken. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and in the second year of Zhengde, there was a major event that assassinated the Son of Heaven.

That time scared the Empress Dowager Zhang so much that her heart was about to jump out, and later, for safety, the palace made efforts and found a manor outside.

In this way, no matter what, even if you don't go back to the palace, you can have a place to go after dark.

The manor was originally named the Imperial Garden, and Zhu Houzhao had some strange ideas for this bastard and ordered it to be changed to heaven and earth.

It's a pity that he didn't come to this garden very much, and on weekdays, someone sprinkled and cleaned, and that's it.

Because of the small number of arrivals, in order to avoid extravagance and waste, he did not agree to how magnificent the decoration was.

But he likes bamboo forests, lakes, and lotus flowers can be planted in the lake, and in summer, that is, at this moment, the lotus flowers are in full bloom, not to mention beautiful, and there can be lotus roots and lotus seeds to eat.

If you have a few more fish in the small lake, you can become a fisherman here when you really need to relax.

He doesn't care what the imperial history says about playthings and things like that, it's obviously a combination of work and rest to be more efficient, and no matter how cool the emperor is, he can't go without a rest all year round.

Sometimes he takes a small boat and lies down for half a day, stealing the leisure of his life, and he will be much more sober after changing his mind.

As for the emperor himself, he was only fortunate to have a distant look at the palace test, but he was nervous at that time, and it was disrespectful to look directly at the emperor, so he didn't look carefully at all.

I don't know what it looks like.

So when Zhu Houzhao walked towards him along the curved stone path built in the lake, he was still staring at the emperor stupidly.

Zhu Houzhao was a little suspicious, and seeing that Zhang Xuan had not lowered his head, he asked: "Liu Jin, didn't you tell him that I wanted to see him?" ”

"Without His Majesty's will, slaves and maids dare not make decisions on their own."

"Oh...... You're right here, don't follow. Zhu Houzhao nodded, thoughts flooding his heart.

"The slave obeys."

In this way, until he got close, Zhang Xuan bent down slightly and bowed his hand.

The person who came was brightly dressed and full of luxury, and anyone who saw it knew that it was not an ordinary person.

But he didn't think about it in the direction of the palace, because someone brought a woman, and she didn't look like a maidservant, and the emperor wouldn't bring a concubine, right?

Zhang Xuan actually knows how to be polite, and the ladies in the nobleman's family should not look at it much, so he only glanced at it, and quickly shifted his gaze after seeing his face clearly.

There are many yamen in the capital, and if you want to live, you have to pay attention to details like this.

"In Xia Zhang Xuan, I have seen Brother Tai. I don't know my brother's surname, what's the matter with finding it? ”

"I don't want your surname to be Wang, it's ......" Zhu Houzhao had already started to play with his heart, and he began to talk nonsense, "It's Wei Ningbo, this is the sister." ”

"You're polite." Zhang Xuan said politely.

"Sit down." Zhu Houzhao kept holding the fan in his hand, "Sister, you sit on the left." ”

Wang Zhi felt a little strange when she heard it, and her sister ......

It's not good to find a bad identity, is this deliberately going to be her brother?

Zhang Xuan was still a little confused, but the other party was Wei Ningbo's Mansion, and he was ready to improvise in line with the principle of not offending people.

After sitting down, Zhu Houzhao said: "Brother Zhang doesn't recognize me, but I recognize you." What you wrote in court that day has already spread throughout the capital. The root cause of the cultivation of the land in the world is becoming more and more concentrated, so that the people are becoming more and more poor, the fields are becoming more and more scarce, and the taxes and forced labor have not been reduced, making the people more difficult, and the country's wealth is becoming more and more scarce. These shocking words came from your mouth, right? ”

"Wei Ningbo has an overreputation, and he was sad and angry that day, and his words were a little more intense."

"Are you scared?"

Zhang Xuan shook his head, "One person does things and one person does it." Since what has been said below, it is naturally recognized below, and I am afraid that where can I talk about it. It was this life, and it was also picked up. ”

"Backbone!" Zhu Houzhao praised it and pretended to arch his hand, "The reason why I invited Brother Zhang to come here today is also because of these words." ”

Zhang Xuan suppressed his voice and said with a little embarrassment, "Forgive me for speaking bluntly......"

"Ah......h

"The man who occupies the land is the ...... It's just ......" Zhang Xuan thought it was strange, he was about to name and scold you nobles, why do you still think I said it well?

Forehead......

Zhu Houzhao knocked on the table, "I am the earl of the imperial court, for the sake of the imperial court, for Your Majesty, how can I have any selfish intentions?" ”

Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up, "Uncle Gaoyi, admire below!" ”

Wang Zhi held back a smile on the side, it was really fun when the emperor was not serious.

"You're welcome! Brother Zhang, let me ask, what you said this time is so impassioned, pointing directly to the evils of the world, but I don't know if there is any way to get rid of this stubborn disease for the imperial court? ”

"Solution, in fact, Your Majesty has already made it."

"What?"

"In the second year of Zhengde, the Son of Heaven ordered to clear all the imperial villages and official fields in Gyeonggi and return the fields to the people, which is the way. Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and later the Tatar invasion, the people of Gyeonggi and the imperial court share the same hatred, which can explain the right of this law. ”

"At the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is easier after all. What about those frontier lands, places where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away? ”

"What do you mean by Werningberg?"

I also heard people talk about it, in Shaanxi, the pastures of the imperial court officials' horse ranches were occupied, and in the border towns, most of the fields of the military tun were also occupied, resulting in the military households being poor and having no land to stand on. generals, who only care about enclosing land to accumulate wealth, and soldiers, will not even have a livelihood. Isn't this exactly what you said, the cultivation of the land is becoming more and more concentrated, and the people are becoming more and more impoverished? ”

Talking about this, Zhang Xuan also felt sad.

"I think that since the Son of Heaven understands the principle of returning the land to the land of Gyeonggi, he must also know that the military tun and the grassland also need to be cleaned up, but there is just a lack of opportunity, and when the time comes, it is not impossible!"

"Do you think it's okay?"

Zhang Xuan said seriously: "This is not something that cannot be done, but something that has to be done, and the uncle also said that the border army and military households have not even found a livelihood, if the court turns a blind eye, unforeseen things will happen in the future." ”

"The unforeseen?"

Zhu Houzhao thought of it, did the soldiers mutiny?

Zhang Xuan didn't dare to say more.

"But some people say that this matter is very important, and once it is not handled carefully, there may be a danger of overturning, so do you think this matter has to be done?"

"Uncle...... Have you ever seen a really poor people? Zhang Xuan suddenly asked this question.

Zhu Houzhao shook his head, "I haven't seen it." How are they doing? ”

"In a good year, barely enough to satisfy hunger, in a disaster year, selling children and girls. The people of the world are like this, if you really go to see it, you won't have so many worries, doubts and entanglements. If you can't do it, you have to do it. ”

Zhu Houzhao felt a little shocked, he thought about all kinds of profound truths that Zhang Xuan might say. But I didn't think it was such an ordinary reason, so ordinary that he, who actually knew the current situation of the people, ignored it.

Yes, how can there be so much analysis of the pros and cons, good and bad. What is the situation in the DPRK and the reaction of the border army, do you really need to think about it after seeing how the people are doing?

Can't you do it, and you can't do it with both hands? In order to be stable in this world, how hard will the people be?

Zhu Houzhao was also thinking, if it weren't for such a strong will, maybe Zhang Xuan in history would not be willing to risk the world's disapproval, which smart person doesn't know how much he has to do it, but he still did it, and he did it very toughly.

This man came at the right time.

It's okay, let's start with the grassland and military tun.

The grassland and the military camp are about military strength, and after all, some of his troops are now considered to be directly related, and the Tatars in the north have also been hit hard, if this situation is not courageous, then this emperor should be too weak.

When the military cantonment is cleaned up and the border army can take on a new look, at that time, everything will be done naturally.
