Chapter 100: Emperor Zhengde, Zhu Houzhao

Zhu Gaoxian took a deep breath, clasped his hands together, and muttered in a divine voice: "Taishang Laojun is as anxious as a law, and the edict stops!"

Xia Yuanji was a little confused: "Lord Wang, what are you doing?"

"Cast spells." Zhu Gaoxian spread his hands and said, "Okay, this king has invited the gods to suppress the evil wind, how to go about the next process, let the local government and county make an inspection report on the number of casualties, the loss of livestock, the destruction of houses, etc., and submit it to the provincial political envoy Si Yamen, and then the political envoy will report to the imperial court, and then the things will be the same, relief, exemption, pension, loan, peace and peace."

What can Zhu Gaoxian do about the typhoon?

It would be easier to deal with a summer typhoon, but now it is a rare winter typhoon!

There was no sign of this happening, and no one expected a typhoon to return in winter.

In the battle of Baigou River during the Battle of Jingyan, the northern army led by Zhu Di fell into a desperate situation, and Zhu Di at that time even had the idea of returning to the sky, and suddenly there was a gust of demonic wind, which was wrapped around the handsome flag of the southern army. The Southern Army, which was already about to capture Zhu Di, was suddenly disheartened, and the Southern Army was defeated in this battle.

This thing is quite evil, you say that when the wind is not good, you have to wait for the wind to blow at this time, the wind will blow, he won't blow anywhere, so he will blow off the flag of the Southern Army and disperse.

Zhu Di is like buying a two-cent lottery ticket, but he won 200 million, and the probability of success is really a bit ridiculous.

What's even more ridiculous is that in the Battle of Jingjing, Zhu Di won such a lottery three times in a row, and each time it was the demon wind to help, he was really the god of wind in the world!

The wind that Zhu Di borrowed when he was in trouble is now waiting to return it after he ascends the throne.

There was a strong wind for no reason, not to mention in the Ming Dynasty, even if it was put in modern times, there was no way to stop it!

"The minister will control the typhoon according to the prince's idea." Xia Yuanji said weakly.

Lao Shangshu also knew that this matter was too embarrassing for King Qi.

Zhu Gaoxian looked at the vicissitudes on the face of the old man Xia Yuanji, and felt a little helpless.

Xia Yuanji, the head of the household, is nicknamed "Xia Lao Pick", and even Zhu Di wants to take money from Xia Yuanji's hand, and Lord Shangshu is also picking and searching.

But this old Shangshu is an out-and-out capable minister, a capable minister who really has the world in mind, not a sour scholar who has been poisoned by Confucianism.

Xia Yuanji, the word Weizhe, is a native of Xiangyin, Changsha Prefecture. His background is extremely poor, his family background is not good, and his father died young when he was 13 years old, and the children of poor families are in charge of the family early.

He was the key cultivation object of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of Gao, and was promoted to the right attendant of the household department after Emperor Jianwen ascended the throne, but Xia Yuanji at this time did not become an official in the court, but was sent by Emperor Jianwen to visit the people in various places and investigate corrupt officials.

After Zhu Di invaded the capital, as an old minister of Jianwen, Xia Yuanji was not spared.

When he was tied up and sent to Zhu Di by the five flowers, he did not scold him like Fang Xiaoru and others, nor did he directly surrender his allegiance like Xie Jin and others, but begged Zhu Di to give him three more days.

He didn't want to use these three days to write a suicide note or take a last look at the beautiful world, but to use these three days to sort out the documents of the household department.

And Zhu Di also began to seriously look at the "old pick" in front of him, and in the end, Xia Yuanji survived, and was entrusted with an important task by Zhu Di and promoted to the head of the household department. And Xia Yuanji also showed his ability, and issued more than 30 suggestions for household reform, benefiting the world and slimming himself.

……

[Select simulation, Zhu Houzhao's emperor identity. 】

Zhu Di touched his chin, the more he simulated it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youjiao, the benevolent brother, married a daughter-in-law and gave birth to two sons in his life.

Only gave birth to two sons, and the youngest son Zhu Houwei died early, that is to say, Zhu Youzhu has only one prince - the eldest son, Zhu Houzhao.

If Zhu Houzhao dies early, won't Zhu Youzhu have no heir?

However, Zhu Di didn't take it to heart, he felt that this kind of thing was unlikely to happen, so he continued to simulate the life of the emperor of "Zhu Houzhao".

This is the tenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

[You were born, and your childhood was much happier than your father's miserable background. 】

[When you were still in your infancy, you were made the crown prince and became the successor of the Ming Dynasty. Since childhood, you have been loved by thousands of people, you have all the father's love and mother's love, and all the eunuchs and palace maids want to please you and make you happy. 】

[Father has found all kinds of famous teachers for you, and you are also very smart, although you are playful, but you can easily complete the homework left by the gentlemen, and you have also learned five languages by the way. 】

[The royal nobles can't leave the palace without permission, but you broke this rule yourself, you like to run out of the palace when you have nothing to do, and then be "caught" by the minister back. 】

[You have also cultivated eight cronies by your side and call them brothers.] It was the eight little eunuchs in the palace, and they were called the "Eight Tigers". 】

When Zhu Di saw this, he couldn't help but chuckle.

This kid named Zhu Houzhao is quite interesting.

He seemed to have seen that in the Ouchi Deep Palace, there was an immature child looking around, and after confirming that there was no one, he secretly climbed over the high wall and walked out of the palace.

Zhu Di recalled that before Zhu Houzhao, the Nine Emperors of the Ming Dynasty, there were Ming monarchs and mediocre lords, beggars and sons of heaven, but there was no such interesting person as Zhu Houzhao.

However, Zhu Di is not worried about whether Zhu Houzhao's follow-up development will be as stubborn as this, and after this kid sits on the throne, he will have an imperial atmosphere.

Cherish your youth, Zhu Houzhao.

[In the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, the conscientious and conscientious Emperor Hongzhi came to an end, and at the age of fifteen, you ascended the throne, and the following year changed to Yuan Zhengde and began your imperial career. 】

[Just four months after the succession to the throne, you began to go out of the palace to have fun, the court officials thought that you were a plaything and lost your mind, carrying the court government, and the official department gave Hu Yu advice in the matter: "The king is in a wonderful year, when he is in the right mechanics, but when the Confucian teacher speaks on the day, there is a great thought before the completion of the schoolwork, and a few seats are not studied, and suddenly there is a desire for pleasure." 】

[Roughly speaking: As an emperor, a thought that is impure and a move is missed, it will have a great impact. Hu Yu advises you to extinguish the ambition of feasting and enjoying peace, look at the court with a righteous heart, and strive for the rule of the world. 】

[You just smiled disdainfully after hearing this, how do you not know, this is because the courtiers in the court realized that the newly enthroned Emperor Zhengde was not under their control, and they urgently felt the crisis of power loss. 】

[Since the change of Tumubao, the Ming military generals were buried in the hands of the Wara people, the court was unbalanced, and the civil officials took the opportunity to rise, in the hearts of these people, the emperor was honestly a puppet, how to govern the world, and the power should be handed over to them. 】

[Even his father, Emperor Hongzhi, was greatly influenced by the civil officials and was deeply poisoned. 】

[But you don't want to, you are Zhu Houzhao, born unrestrained, what you want to do is what you want to do, why do you need guidance from others? ] 】

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and began to spit fragrant again.

Zhu Qizhen who pinched hemp!

This is not only a scourge, but the negative impact he left behind will last for more than ten lifetimes!

Zhu Di knows very well: civil officials are in power, and this is a scourge!

Just like the emperor's dictatorship, the emperor of the first generation can be prosperous, if the emperor is a mediocre lord, but still in power, isn't it a disaster for the country?

Speaking of which, I have to reiterate the "glorious" deeds of the Warat students......

What a scourge!

[In the ninth year of Zhengde, the ministers cared about their lives and asked for severe punishment of the Eight Tigers. Cabinet members Xie Qian and Liu Jian threatened to return to their hometowns and wanted you to give in. 】

[This is the first large-scale war between you and the ministers, a war without gunpowder, if they win, you will be reduced to a puppet from now on. The ministers are staring at you with fierce eyes, they don't think that you, the young emperor, can withstand such a great pressure. 】

[But they underestimate you.] 】

[You gladly approved the cabinet's resignation, and it was easy

Lifted the leader of the Wenchens, the Wenchen were dumbfounded, they really didn't expect that you would be so kind. 】

[After the "Eight Tigers" defeated the ministers, they became even more arrogant and arrogant. 】

[The so-called Eight Tigers are the eight eunuchs who accompanied you when you were not yet on the throne, among which "Liu Jin" was the leader. 】

[The Eight Tigers are the forces you cultivated to fight against Wenchen, but as time goes by, you realize that the Eight Tigers have begun to lean into power, which can be called unscrupulous. 】

[In the face of your former most trusted playmate, you executed Liu Jin Lingchi lightly. 】

[Punish Liu Jin with a snap of your fingers, let everyone realize that you, the Emperor of Zhengde, are not only fooling around, but also have a tough imperial wrist. 】

[In your heart, Liu Jin is just a playmate, and it is not a little less than him. Without the eunuch Liu Jin, you are still the reckless teenager. 】

Zhu Di felt more and more interesting.

Zhu Houzhao, although absurd, does not contain a lake at all in major matters, and is resolute and arbitrary.

However, Zhu Di also quickly discovered Zhu Houzhao's shortcomings.

This style of acting has put him on the cusp of the storm, and he has stood in an endless situation with the civil servants.

Zhu Di knew that by the time of Zhu Houzhao, the ministers had developed to the point of terror, and Zhu Houzhao's intention to press the ministers down was too obvious, although the idea was good, but the process was too fierce and easy to cause a backlash.

If he was replaced by Zhu Di, he would choose to cut the meat with a blunt knife and suppress the momentum of the ministers little by little.

[Your mind is no longer stopped by the walls of the forbidden city. You left the Forbidden City and moved into a new Leopard House in the northwest of the Imperial City. 】

[The leopard room is a place where the nobles raise tigers and leopards and other beasts for fun, your new leopard house was built in the second year of Zhengde, and more than 200 houses were built in the seventh year of Zhengde, costing more than 240,000 taels of silver. In fact, the new house of the leopard house is not a place to raise leopards, and it is not a simple palace in the general sense, but it is actually a place where Wuzong lives and deals with the government. 】

[After living in the leopard room, your purpose is clear, you want to do a big thing! 】
