[You know in your heart why the cabinet doesn't want to pay reparations to the Southwest Army now. 】

[Because the indemnity paid by the imperial court to the Qi Wangfu is clearly stipulated, this is the treaty between the Jiajing Emperor and the Qi Wangfu back then, and each indemnity is listed very clearly, and how many things the imperial court sends to the southwest every year are clearly written. 】

[This poses a problem for the officials of the imperial court: they can only watch this huge amount of money pass under their noses, but they dare not reach out to embezzle. 】

[As long as they dare to stretch out their hands, and wait for King Qi's mansion to check the list, they will find that the number is not matched, and once they anger King Qi, everyone will have to finish the calf. 】

[How can there be such a truth in the world! ] They dare to be greedy for the emperor's private money, and now they actually have money that they can't be greedy, is this reasonable! 】

[This is very reasonable, because they are also afraid of King Qi. 】

[Emperor, they can ignore it. But King Qi can't, because the emperor can't do anything about them, but King Qi really dares to kill them. 】

Zhu Di was not surprised, because this has always been the style of the ministers.

If you want to reason with Wenchen, they will play tricks on you. If you want to play tricks with Wenchen, they will reason with you.

When a Wenchen understands this shameless truth, he will be sublimated into a "virtuous minister"

If you want to leave a name in history, you have to go along with it.

[After the deliberations of these talents in the cabinet, they came up with a two-pronged method that neither had to pay compensation to King Qi nor had to go to war with King Qi - land cession. 】

[They decided not to pay compensation to the Qi Wangfu in the future, and to exchange the territory of Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Guangdong, and Fujian provinces to the Qi Wangfu. 】

[You still think you heard it wrong, ceding the territory of the five provinces, this is directly giving out one-third of the territory of the Ming Dynasty! ] These ministers really dare to speak! 】

[The reality is that the cabinet really thinks so, because the taxes in these five provinces are also poor. Among the five provinces, Guangdong has the largest amount of taxes, and the taxes paid by Guangdong Province alone are more than the other four provinces combined. However, Guangdong's taxes are less than one-tenth of the taxes paid by Nanzhili, that is, a tall man is chosen among the short ones. If you really count it, the combined taxes of the five provinces are not less than a quarter of the taxes paid by Nanzhili]

[Using the territory of the five provinces to offset the huge indemnity to the Qi Wangfu every year, this deal can not be more cost-effective. 】

[Three of the five provinces were poisoned by the Japanese invaders, and the rest of Guangxi and Yunnan often had Tusi rebellions, making ends meet every year, and it was difficult for people in the court to make money. In the past, there was still the Southwest Qi Palace, but since it fell out with the Qi Palace, the Southwest Army has never fought for the imperial court, which can make the cabinet scholars sad. 】

[Every year, the imperial court sends suffocating military expenses to these five provinces, which comes from the treasury. Although the money in the treasury has nothing to do with the emperor, it is all the money of their cabinet scholars, how can it be so badly abused. 】

[Now that the five provinces are ceded to the King of Qi, the war and chaos are all fought by the Southwest Army of the King of Qi, and a huge amount of compensation has been saved, so everyone can make up their minds to divide the benefits, isn't it beautiful? 】

[You heard that everyone was stupid, Huanghuang Daming, he actually wanted to cede the territory of the five provinces to others, how could he see his ancestors and ancestors after he died? 】

[The cabinet patiently explained, to the effect: "Your Majesty, King Qi is also surnamed Zhu, everyone is a family, how can this be called ceding land, this is called taking care of your own family, and your ancestors and ancestors will praise you after you burp." ”】

[Do you think that King Qi is still a family, people close the door and become emperors, more majestic than me, the orthodox emperor, and the birds are not birds to break the court. Let's treat King Qi as a family, King Qi treats us as a poor relative, a family fart? 】

[Everyone is discussing with relish, but you inadvertently notice that there is a person who looks at each other coldly and silently. 】

[This person's name is Zhang Juzheng, the word Taiyue, and he is ranked as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, and a second assistant of the cabinet. You think this guy looks very pleasing to the eye, everyone in the cabinet is thinking about how to bully the emperor, but this Zhang Juzheng is very honest, and he is also a loyal minister. 】

[But in today's cabinet, Zhang Juzheng is just an ornament, although he is a second assistant, he has no power, and it will not help you. 】

[Zhang Juzheng has the false position of Shaobao and Prince Taibao, and belongs to the hardcore princelings. You hope that after his death, Zhang Juzheng can help the crown prince regain imperial power, and don't let his young prince repeat the mistakes of the past and become a puppet of the cabinet. 】

[You know that your son's talent is limited, and he can't fight the cabinet, but Zhang Ju is a good helper, this person looks honest and honest, and he will definitely be able to help the prince suppress the cabinet and let the power return to the emperor's hands. 】

The imperial power fell, and the emperor became a puppet.

In the matter of ceding land, the emperor did not have any right to resist!

Zhu Di's heart was numb and he didn't express any opinion on this.

Compared with the stupid things he simulated the previous emperors, Emperor Longqing was already very good.

Because Longqing doesn't have any way, he's just a mascot. He didn't dare to resist, because he was afraid that he would die inexplicably like Emperor Wuzong.

Emperor Longqing's style of action was: I would rather do nothing than make mistakes.

"Mingbao Sect" called Zhu Qizhen, the son of heaven, to do things, and almost lost the Ming Dynasty;

Zhu Houzhao, the mighty general of Ming Wuzong, wanted to do things, and then played himself to death;

"Ming Xianzong" Taoist Emperor Zhu Houxi wanted to do something (conquer the southwest), and the 300,000 army was gone;

Emperor Longqing just didn't do anything, but he didn't do anything wrong.

If he does something, I'm afraid Da Ming will be even worse.

[After deliberation by the cabinet, Gao Gong decided to send Zhang Juzheng to negotiate with King Qi to carry out "compensation for five provinces". 】

[You swear, you're absolutely protesting inside.] But realistically, you can only agree. 】

[However, this "indemnity for five provinces" has ended before it has even begun. Not because of the conscience of the cabinet ministers, but because the emperor was about to die. 】

[You are sick, you have survived for nearly 30 years to boil your father to death, and you can't survive until the end. 】

[Before you died, you summoned the queen, the crown prince, and the prince's biological mother, Li Guifei, in turn, and said some last words. Originally, you should have summoned Gao Gong, the first assistant of the cabinet, but before you summoned Gao Gong, you summoned Zhang Juzheng first. 】

[After Zhang Juzheng arrived, you dispersed everyone and said weakly: "Mr. Zhang, can I believe you?" Zhang Juzheng agreed without hesitation. 】

[You looked at Zhang Juzheng carefully, and finally believed this person, and said: "In this way, after the new emperor ascended the throne, he relied on Mr. Zhang. I will tell the prince to let him believe in you wholeheartedly, and help you defeat the powerful ministers, and wait until you defeat those powerful ministers......"]

[Zhang Juzheng said categorically: "The minister is not a person who loves power, he is loyal to the king, His Majesty has high hopes for the minister, how can the minister live up to His Majesty. After the ministers overthrew the ministers, they immediately returned to their hometowns and let the new emperor regain imperial power! ”】

[You nodded with relief, Zhang Juzheng, it shouldn't disappoint you...... Right? 】

[You summoned the crown prince Zhu Yijun again, and after explaining all the aftermath, you symbolically summoned Gao Gong, and then he became unconscious. 】

[The next day, he died in the Qianqing Palace. 】

[Zhu Zaikun's life simulation of the emperor is complete. 】

"Indemnity for five provinces" failed to achieve in the end, but Zhu Di knew that this was because of the sudden death of the emperor, and when the new emperor ascended the throne, the cabinet would continue to do it.

And Zhu Di also remembered the name "Zhang Juzheng".

Whether the new emperor can regain imperial power depends on Zhang Juzheng.

I have to say that Emperor Longqing still did not live in vain. He knew that he didn't have that ability, but he was unwilling to let the emperor only be a puppet of the ministers, so he played a trick before he died.

The emperor pinned all his hopes on one person, and if Zhang Juzheng could defeat the powerful ministers, then the new emperor could regain the imperial power again. Of course, the premise is that Zhang Juzheng keeps his promise and returns to his hometown after fighting the ministers.

But Zhang Juzheng alone, can he really do so many things?

The cabinet ministers can even do such a thing as ceding the territory of the five provinces, how huge is the authority, and with the strength of Zhang Juzheng alone, how can he fight against a number of powerful enemies?

Zhu Di was a little skeptical, but he still chose to believe in Emperor Longqing's vision.

After all, there is nothing he can do, if Zhu Di can live to be more than 200 years old, can he have so many hanging things? The emperor of later generations is not Zhu Di, and how the Ming Dynasty will develop depends on whether the descendants will fight or not.

Zhu Di remembers clearly that it is now the twelfth year of Yongle, he died in the twenty-second year of Yongle, and he only has ten years of life left, so he must seize the time and pave the way for future generations. Zhu Di has some regrets in his heart, if God can give him another ten years, Zhu Di is confident that he can take the Ming Dynasty to sweep the northern aliens, and then quell the rebellion in the south, and after quelling the war, he will have the opportunity to stabilize the domestic situation and let the Ming Dynasty be far away from the Han and Tang Dynasties!

Since becoming the emperor, Zhu Di has everything he should have, but now he only feels barren, and he lacks one thing too much - time.

The hero has white hair, the general is late, and the carving knife of the years is closely following Zhu Di's pace.

Zhu Di suddenly began to hate this national sports simulation system.

If it weren't for this national sports simulation system, Zhu Di wouldn't have seen the future of Daming, and he wouldn't be so anxious, unable to sleep at night, and worrying about Daming. He tried hard to change the future, but how difficult it was to change the future, and how small it seemed to resist the destiny of heaven with manpower.

If he doesn't think about the future, he can cover his ears, blindfold his eyes, and imagine that after his death, the great cause of the Ming Dynasty can last for eternity, and the descendants of future generations will be able to compete for literature and martial arts, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment.

In the dark, Zhu Di seemed to hear a melodious voice mocking him:

"You think about it, it's so painful."

The person who spoke was Zhu Di himself.

He was talking to himself, muttering to himself, not knowing whether he regretted it or was unwilling.
