Inside the temple.

The report has been copied by Emperor Hongzhi, and every minister who entered the palace received a copy, at this time, everyone was looking down at the report in their hands, and the expressions on everyone's faces were wonderful, shocked, incredulous, and at a loss.

Elderly ministers like Wang Shu, Liu Jian, and Ma Wensheng couldn't stand steadily, and they only felt that it was dark, but fortunately, there were many eunuchs guarding the palace, and when they saw that anyone had the intention of fainting, they immediately pinched people.

Li Dongyang was woken up like this just now, and he was also reading the newspaper at this time, although he had already read it once, but when he read it again, he couldn't help but feel a little frightened.

Xia Yuan was also fortunate enough to receive one, and he was standing in the corner of the main hall watching silently, his leg hurting, but he didn't say anything.

Zhu Youzhu did not sit on the dragon chair of His Majesty Na Dan at this time, but turned his back to the ministers, looking up at the plaque hanging high in the hall.

On the plaque are four gilded characters, slim and delicate.

This sentence comes from the theory of the hidden husband, and the real statement should be self-cultivation and prudence, which means striving to improve one's own recuperation virtue and handling problems cautiously.

In the past, on the plaque hanging in this temple, the words "self-cultivation and prudence" were written, but ten years ago, Emperor Hongzhi ordered someone to replace it with self-cultivation.

Only one word has been changed, but the meaning has become very different, and it means to rectify and rectify, strive to improve one's own recuperation virtues, and always rectify and reflect on one's own behavior.

The plaque changed from self-cultivation and prudence to self-cultivation, and many eunuchs and maids in the palace knew the reason, and even some ministers of the foreign dynasty knew the reason.

Ten years ago, on that very cold winter night, Princess Taikang died.

In fact, Emperor Hongzhi has not always been a diligent and self-denying Ming lord and virtuous monarch, and now, he was barely in the first few years of his ascension to the throne, but there was not a period of time in between.

Even at that time, he could be fully worthy of the faint monarch, and many emperors embarked on the road of faint monarchy, after the first few years of hard work, I felt that the world was peaceful, and I had begun to see the prosperity of the world, so I began to slack off.

He has done all these things related to the faint monarch.

He also favored a eunuch named Li Guang, and then this eunuch with the same name as General Fei relied on the emperor's favor to accumulate wealth is just common, bullying the people, and robbing the people's land is even more commonplace, and it is not impossible to be pretentious.

Zhu Youzhu may or may not know about these, but all this did not affect his favor in this eunuch in the slightest, until Li Guang proposed that he build a pavilion on Long Live Mountain.

This pavilion is called Yuxiu Pavilion, and on the night when the pavilion was built, Emperor Hongzhi's favorite young daughter, Princess Taikang, died.

When he died, he was only four years old, his body was not big, the small one, he couldn't even feel the weight in his arms, he still had residual warmth, but he no longer had a fresh breath, and he couldn't talk to himself anymore, no more.

Zhu Youzhu still remembers the feeling of his heart like a knife, he blamed all this on himself, thinking that it was his two years of feasting and happiness, and he was unconscious, which made God take responsibility and take away his daughter.

He hugged his daughter's still warm little body, and silently made a vow in his heart to be a Ming Jun.

He killed Li Guang, and finally made a faint king, and killed those imperial doctors who could not save the princess's life and had no skills to return to heaven, and at the same time let the grandmother and palace maids who took care of the princess be buried together.

Since that day, he has become the current Hongzhi Emperor, the Hongzhi Emperor who created the 'Hongzhi Zhongxing' recorded in the history books, and the Hongzhi Emperor who aspires to be the Ming Emperor.

The way of being a king begins with determination, and if you don't make a will, you can't succeed.

The so-called aspirants: up and up to the sky, down to the earth, the spirit and soul of the universe, the combination of rigidity and softness, crossing all beings, leveling the world, Fang is also the ambition.

First aspire and then conspire.

The so-called strategists: art, forbearance, and learning. Art is the Tao, forbearance is the state of mind, learn through the ancient and modern, for the world's things can be Mingjun.

To be a wise gentleman, wrist, heart, power, and qualifications are indispensable.

Zhu Youzhu knows very well that everything he has is just the posture of a middle-aged person, and at most he can become the master of a generation of success.

If it is Mingjun, there is no him, only Qin'er.

Since then, he has taken out ten times stronger and a hundred times more energetic than in the early days of his ascension to the throne, and he does not dare to slack off for a day, and he is diligent every day.

I got up before the time came, but I didn't fall asleep when I got to my son, I only slept for more than two hours a day, and almost all the time of the day was spent dealing with government affairs.

The self-cultivation and prudence on the plaque of the temple of self-cultivation were also replaced by him with self-cultivation.

Always reflect on what you have done.

Now Emperor Hongzhi looked at himself and felt that although he had done far from being excellent in the past ten years, he could barely say a word.

He felt that he did not seem to have violated the oath he had made to his daughter, even if he did not become a Ming Jun, Jiangshan Sheji had not become very strong in his hands, but he had been working hard in this direction.

Floods, earthquakes, and the cold of the winter were natural disasters;

The border Tatars are barbaric by nature, untrustworthy and unrighteous, even if they carry out mutual markets, signing covenants will not help, and the Tatars are still treacherous and repeatedly offend the border;

The Tusi rebellion in the southwest is the drawback of the system of restraint for many years, the Yi people only know the Tusi but do not know the imperial court, deviate from morality, and be bewitched by the Tusi, they will have a heart of rebellion, and they have been trying to reform it.

All of this, Zhu Youzhu can say that it is not his own fault, at least the main fault is not his own, but this time in Guangdong

'The Qiongzhou Rebellion was caused by the father's unclear selection of officials, which caused today's disaster, and it was the fault of the father

Father, father, father, and emperor are not ashamed.'

Zhu Youzhu looked at the plaque, and felt that the words on the plaque were very blurry, so blurred that he couldn't see clearly, and the hand in the wide cuffs was already clenched tightly, and the joints were white.

He took a deep breath, raised his hand and wiped it on his face, turned his back and asked, "I think you've finished reading the report."

The voice was a little hoarse and a little trembling, but the tone was very flat and extremely calm.

But everyone in the hall didn't feel a chill in their hearts, and they could feel the coldness and chill suppressed in this tone and voice, even if they only looked at the emperor's back, they could feel that the emperor's state at this time was very wrong, and the back was clearly full of sadness.

The ministers took back all their emotions and pressed them all in their hearts, and then bowed down and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the ministers have finished reading." ”

"Who are the political envoys of Guangdong?"

Although Wang Shu is old, his mind is still quite clear, not to mention that when the 800 li of the Qiongzhou Rebellion was rushed to Beijing, Emperor Hongzhi had issued an edict to dismiss the official and remove him.

And he, the celestial official of the Ministry of Officials, had checked the files of the Ministry of Officials a few days ago, so he just remembered it for a moment and remembered, and said: "The political envoy of the left cloth is Lin Tong, and the political envoy of the right cloth is Luo Rong." ”

"How long have these two been in office?"

"Lin Tong has been in office for seven years, and Luo Rong has been in office for four years."

"I remember that Lin Tong is now seventy, Luo Rong should be old, and now he should be the age of the sixtieth birthday."

After saying these somewhat inexplicable words, Emperor Hongzhi asked inexplicably: "Can the edict of dismissal and dismissal I made before be recovered?" ”

"Your Majesty, the decree has been more than half a month, if you follow the itinerary, I am afraid that the envoy of the court has already arrived in the land of the two lakes and wants to come."

"Can't catch it up?"

"Yes."

"If you can't chase it back, you will make another will: Lin Tong, Luo Rong's crime cannot be punished, I remember that the two of them are old, and only give these two people to death, and confiscate their family property, and do not do anything to connect them."

PS: [The palace was changed to the Baohe Hall in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, that is, the one with the emperor building a pole plaque, the Taihe Hall was also the name changed by the Manchu Dynasty, but in the Ming Dynasty it was the Emperor's Pole Palace, I was afraid that some readers were not very clear about it before, so they used the Taihe Palace, here is a tip, and from then on they will be called the Huangji Palace. 】

Finally, I wish all readers a happy new year, alive, and never dead.

Happy 2nd day of the Lunar New Year!
