As the officials came out of the official residence and entered the palace one after another, the news spread far and wide.

Taixue, Guozijian, Wuxue, Jiangwutang, students from major universities, and even many citizens began to walk in the direction of the Forbidden City.

Soon, several gates of the Forbidden City were kneeled to the ground.

The cry shook the earth.

Standing on the tower of the Forbidden City, seeing the black oppressive human head and the sad cry, the soldiers on duty also wept at the corners of their eyes.

All the palace gates are closed.

Eunuchs and palace ladies are not allowed to walk around.

However, all the palace people knelt at the palace gate and wept along.

The Han general and the guards with knives knelt outside the door of the Heart Cultivation Palace, howling and crying.

The cry was even louder, Xungui.

The huge noble forces, even if the head of the family is not in the capital, the heads of all the families run to kneel outside the Heart Cultivation Palace, these rough people, cry the loudest, and move the most.

The grandson Zhu Youchang also came from the East Palace, but he was blocked by the flow of people and could not enter the Palace of Nourishing Hearts.

On this day, the whole city of Beijing was crying.

"The country is a major matter for the stability of society, and it cannot be moved lightly." Zhu Qiyu said slowly.

Zhu Jianqi didn't expect it at all.

The person who supported him the most wanted to change the crown prince, but the person he trusted the most supported him as always.

Only then did he feel ridiculous.

The old man really doesn't have any authority, but his heart is in him.

Look at the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, usually the great court meeting can't gather so many people, but just because he quarreled with the old emperor, he worked all these people.

Some eunuchs have come to report that the four gates of the Forbidden City are full of people, the entire Beijing division is on strike, more and more people are gathering in the direction of the Forbidden City, and the entire Beijing division is crying.

At this moment, Zhu Jianqi's hands and feet were cold.

The old emperor really has no power, but he has the hearts of the people and the hearts of the people in the world!

In the past five years, he has interfered in various industries in the world, and all kinds of restrictions have aroused the dissatisfaction of the people of the world.

When the incident of the prince's unfilial piety fermented, the entire Jingshi was shaken.

Then there is the North Zhili, the north, and finally spread to the entire Ming Dynasty, and even the whole world, the anger of eight billion Ming people, he can't afford it.

Even if there is respect for the old emperor, isn't there any dissatisfaction with the crown prince's administration?

"Please change your majesty to the crown prince!" Wang Wei said sharply.

The civil and military ministers followed and shouted loudly.

The hundred officials in the palace of the heart raised their minds, and the hundred officials outside the hall followed suit, and then the people scattered throughout the imperial city followed the chanting, and finally the people outside the imperial city followed the chanting.

The shouts shook the earth.

Zhu saw a chill down Qi's back, and the most painful was Zhu Youyan.

He didn't know anything, his father's crown prince was about to disappear, and he was the most wronged.

Once his father goes to the crown prince, the grandson will definitely be gone, an unfilial prince, will the son he gave birth to be filial?

The Ming Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and filial piety ranked first.

This is also the reason why the old emperor gave her a pension after the Empress Dowager Sun did not threaten her, and unfilial piety is a heinous crime.

"Alas!"

Zhu Qiyu sighed and slowly sat down in the chair: "I am eighty-seven years old this year, maybe I can't see the sun tomorrow, how can I shake the country again?" ”

"Zhuqing, don't force me, let's disperse."

These words were very sad: "Look at my legs, I can't stand still for a while, a lonely old man, let me go." ”

The prince breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and quickly kowtowed to thank him, just about to promise.

Zhang Fuhua crawled over: "The country cannot be moved lightly, but a prince who is not filial to his father, how can he be considered the country's capital?" Does Your Majesty want to see the Ming Dynasty fall to the country? ”

"And Your Majesty is not an only son, Your Majesty has forty-one heirs, all of them are smart and filial, the King of Song, please play Shu every day, King Xia will send medicine every day, King Shang is the most filial to his father, and he sends his grandson to congratulate him every year, the kings are filial and virtuous, how can he not be the prince of the Ming Dynasty?"

"If there is no matter of the prince's roar to nourish the heart, the ministers still don't know, and Your Majesty will suffer from this in the palace!"

"The minister was raised by His Majesty, although he has no real name, he is actually His Majesty's adopted son!"

"My father is in trouble, and I am willing to give up everything in the nine clans to save my father from danger!"

"If Your Majesty doubts the determination of the minister, the minister is willing to crash to death on the steps!"

Zhang Fuhua's voice fell, his body pounced forward, and he slammed into the steps, making a muffled sound, and blood was dripping.

Zhu Qiyu was about to stop it, but Zhang Shihua was too fast.

"The minister is willing to die!"

Liao Zhuang is also going to hit the wall.

Zhu Qiyu hurriedly asked the eunuch to pull him, wanting to stand up and look at Zhang Fuhua, but his body was not very good, so he could only let the imperial doctor see Zhang Fuhua's condition.

It was found that Zhang Shihua was bleeding nonstop, and the cerebral plasma flowed out of the slit of the brain, and people were afraid that they would not work.

"Save him!" Zhu Qiyu asked people to be sent to the Royal Hospital quickly, and his heart was full of sadness.

Zhang Fuhua is right, but he is Zhang Fuhua's adoptive father, and Zhang Fuhua also gave him a long face.

But a person with great talent is gone.

Zhang Fuhua was carried away for treatment.

On the steps, there is a bright red mark.

Zhu Jianqi looked stupid, Zhang Shihua was usually the most out of tune, he really wanted to die? Is it worth it?

"The minister is also willing to die to make his will!"

Xia Xun bowed to the ground: "The minister is not a mediocre talent, it is between His Majesty's selection of ministers and micro ends, which is reused for ministers, and the ministers are in the center and hold the authority of the world." ”

"Everything owned by the minister is given by His Majesty."

"Now I persuade Your Majesty to shake the country's foundation, there is indeed a suspicion of forcing the palace, the minister prides himself on being clear, and he does not dare to coerce His Majesty in the slightest, because he is willing to die to show his will!"

And then really rush up the steps.

Fortunately, the eunuch stopped him, but knocked the eunuch directly to the ground.

It's really not like this guy is going to be killed.

Gao Ming, Liao Zhuang, Qin Hong and other old ministers all have to play with their lives.

"You're all still young, what are you doing with me, a lonely old man?" Zhu Qiyu was a little sad.

These people are all talents selected by him, and they are also the top talents that he has honed little by little.

Why did you separate from the crown prince?

Is it just because the prince is not filial?

No.

It's the prince's political views that don't agree with them.

They were all cultivated by the old emperor, and they inherited the spirit of the old emperor, but the crown prince gradually deviated from the path of the old emperor.

When a person fears a person for a long time, he will plant the seeds of rebellion, and when he grows up, he will work against the other.

That's how the prince is.

He was afraid of the old emperor for half his life, worried about the crown prince for half his life, and finally took control of the power, he wanted to smash everything about the old emperor and take a road that belonged to him.

It doesn't matter if his path is right or not, it's his way anyway, it's enough that it doesn't belong to the old emperor.

He didn't feel like he was doing it too soon.

Because the authority of the world has been completely in his hands, the old emperor is completely an emperor with no real power.

Moreover, his biggest feeling is to smash everything he has in front of the old emperor.

Then, the auxiliary political talents given to him by the old emperor naturally cannot be used.

Like Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian, they have a good relationship with him, and he can still keep and use them, but he can't give them so much authority.

People like Wang Shu, Wang Wei, Xia Xun, Zhang Fuhua, Gao Ming, and Wang Hua were all driven out of the court.

Da Ming Xun is too expensive, this is a huge financial expenditure.

It's time to find a reason to take away all those who can't do what they can't eat, and it's best to use the Tui En Order.

It's not that he picked it, but it's that these are all sealed by his father.

When he comes to power, he will create a group of nobles by himself, and these people are his people.

He's like a kid who fights for everything.

Even if the old emperor handed over the authority of the world to him, he was not satisfied, he wanted the world to admit that he did a better job than the old emperor.

The most important thing is that the old emperor is visibly aging, and he has few days to live.

Zhu Jianqi couldn't hold back any longer, if he endured it for another two years, he was afraid that the old emperor would not see everything he had, and he would be smashed to pieces.

Therefore, his attitude towards the old emperor is getting worse and worse, and he is even more reluctant to listen to his chattering nonsense, the times are different, there is no need to guard your old things, and the old ministers he left behind naturally don't use them.

The reason why Zhu Jianqi's personality really changed was that it was obviously him who was in charge, and none of the vassal kings around the country respected him, and they all gave congratulatory gifts to his father, who remembered their eldest brother?

Even, the King of Song was not inferior to him, the King of Wei and the King of Shang ignored him at all, when he did not exist, the King of Tang was a little better, and occasionally mentioned him twice, but only in passing.

The affairs of the vassal state were all secretly played to the old emperor, and they did not go through his hands at all, and outsiders did not know what he said.

This is a contempt for the central court, a contempt for him Zhu Jianqi.

So he wanted to make an appearance and let the kings of the world see that he Zhu Jianqi was no worse than Zhu Qiyu!

And then there are the people of the world.

No matter what the center does, it is obviously the credit of him Zhu Jianqi, but it is crowned on the head of the old emperor, everything is his credit, he is a god? Am I a pig?

The government is obviously handled by me, I am so tired that my head is full of gray hair, and I am so tired that I vomit blood, but do the people of the world remember me a little better?

No!

The credit is all the old emperor's, and the hard work is the courtier's, but they all ignore me, Zhu Jianqi!

It has been like this for five years.

So Zhu Jianqi went crazy and was psychologically distorted.

He had to make an appearance.

He had to break everything about the old emperor.

He must destroy his most brilliant things in front of the old emperor, and let him Zhu Jianqi create a perfect Ming again, so that he, the vassal king, and the world can see his Zhu Jianqi's ability.

But!

He never expected that the old emperor would be able to turn the tables casually even though he didn't have anything.

The human heart is always in his hands.

"If you don't accompany Your Majesty to the funeral today, you will die for the Ming Dynasty tomorrow, so it's better to die now."

Yang Tinghe said coldly: "Although the old minister entered the court late, this life is enough, and there are no regrets." ”

"The old minister has lived enough." Qin Hong closed his eyes.

Yu Yunzhong climbed up: "Weichen represents his grandfather, begging Your Majesty to change the crown prince!" ”

As the leader of the nobles.

His words represent the position of the entire honor.

Yang Xin's fate is vivid, after the crown prince took office, such meritorious veterans still sit on the cold bench, can they be reused for these waste snacks?

Moreover, the crown prince has long expressed that he wants to implement the Tui En Order.

The knighthood is the most important thing in all noble families.

Why is the Ming army strong in combat, that is, the knighthood is hereditary, and it is passed on to the Ming Dynasty to perish.

If the Tui En order is implemented, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army will be cut in half.

Don't think that all the feudal countries in the world are Ming, and the war will be gone.

Quite the opposite.

The international situation in the future will be far more sinister than that of all foreign races, because the political, economic, and scientific and technological levels of all countries are basically equal, not like the countries of later generations, which are very different.

Military strength is extremely important in the future struggle for hegemony.

Besides, if the crown prince is abolished, then it will be the Shang king Zhu Jianxi, Zhu Jianyu is an immediate emperor, look at how much territory he has conquered in Eastern Europe.

When such a person is the emperor, the Ming Dynasty has the attribute of external development, so is the honor more reused?

It stands to reason that civil officials should hate such an emperor.

But there is no way, the prince has touched the scales of all interest groups.

The regulation alone has caused the market value of the cultural and sports industry to plummet.

Who is the financier behind these industries? It's the princes of Gon who stand in the court!

The cultural industry is the industry that the courtiers attach the most importance to, and this kind of control is equivalent to controlling the mouthpiece of the literati, which is the root of the civil official.

Well, even if you don't talk about interests.

The prince's thinking of politics is also contrary to the old emperor, who appoints the old ministers, believes in the old ministers, and delegates power more.

The crown prince is not, after he succeeds to the throne, he will immediately eliminate dissidents and get rid of all the people left by the old emperor to him, and everyone is forced to have no choice.

They can't care who is the crown prince, and it is unknown how the new prince will be, and this prince will definitely not be able to do it anyway.

Zhu Qiyu looked at these kneeling people with desolation in his eyes.

How unpopular the prince is.

Why did you offend all these people?

Isn't the prince a little good?

Yes, he is diligent, he goes to court every day, there are no mistakes and omissions, and the level of governance is okay.

But why is the whole world against him?

What's wrong?

Because he touches the interests of all.

Tui En Ling, Xun Gui hates him; changed the national policy without authorization, and the civil officials hated him; The eyes do not look down, and the people hate him; Nothing matters, the merchant hates him; has no merit and no virtue, and the vassal king hates him; Even, in the palace to eliminate corruption and rectify the atmosphere, the palace people still hate him.

Therefore, this is not a forced palace, but also a forced palace.

Zhu Qiyu squinted his eyes: "The old man is eighty-seven, and he hasn't lived enough, you are all still young, how can you live enough?" ”

"But Heaven won't give me another fifty years."

"I can't control the future of Daming."

"Rashly changing the country's capital, I need to deal with the huge government affairs, but my current body can no longer support the huge government affairs."

"Just say change, change one, is it really better than him?"

"Not necessarily, right?"

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "Everyone has their own path to take, and I can't control where the future Daming is." ”

"Zhuqing, when I am about to die, prepare a horse for me, let me follow the example of Emperor Taizu, die on a horse, I don't want to die on the collapse, this is the only request of this old man."

"Let's disperse."

Zhu Qiyu stretched out his hand and asked the eunuch to help him, go back to the house.

"Your Majesty, thank you, son!" Zhu Jianqi was so excited that he was about to go crazy.

The courtiers persuaded him so much, but they couldn't change his father's mind.

Now the crown prince's position is stable.

"Please rest your majesty early, the ministers are all kneeling here, waiting for your majesty to change his mind!" Yang Tinghe's words made Zhu Jianqi feel like he was hit hard.

He slowly turned his head and looked at his eldest brother, do you have to force me to death?

What benefits can you get when the fourth child ascends the throne?

With a bang, the door of the temple closed.

Zhu saw Qihu and said pretendiously: "Liu Jian, you take people out, don't affect Your Majesty's rest!" ”

But Liu Jian turned a deaf ear.

has come to this point, if you don't force the old emperor to change his mind, after the crown prince is the emperor, everyone will not end well.

"Li Dongyang, you go."

Li Dongyang seemed to be sitting in meditation, and he didn't speak from beginning to end.

Until he was called by the crown prince, he cleared his throat: "The old minister is afraid of the cold, can His Royal Highness have someone send a big one?" ”

"You!"

Zhu Jianqi jumped to his feet angrily: "Xie Qian, go!" ”

Xie Qian was dozing off and didn't hear anything.

"Okay, you're all reversed, and you don't listen to Lonely!" The more Zhu saw Qi like this, the more disappointing he became.

How can a villain who is rampant with ambition be the master of this huge empire?

In fact, Zhu Jianqi was also scared to death.

has been a prince for half his life.

If he is abolished, he will never be able to live, and death is the best ending.

Don't think that his father will be reluctant, his father is just worried about the stability of the court.

If it were him, he didn't care, as a political creature, he could also give his crown prince death without any guilt.

The crown prince, who was in control of the victory, suddenly found that Wenchen didn't listen to him at all.

I really panicked at this moment.

But he knew that the Manchu civil and military were worried about being liquidated, and they would definitely kneel to the end.

Even if he promises not to liquidate now, no one will believe him, because the old emperor gave him the throne, he is not grateful, such a person without a king and a father, the credit value is zero.

In the past, everything was in his father's hands, but this time it may not be, right? He doesn't have a score in his heart now, and he's also thinking about countermeasures.

The atmosphere froze.

Zhu Qiyu in the hall sighed deeply.

It's too late to say that the crown prince will be changed now.

He can no longer bear the huge government affairs, and during the window period of changing the crown prince, he must fully take charge of the government affairs.

Moreover, even if he is set up as the fourth prince to succeed to the throne, even if he is willing to give up the emperor of Eastern Europe and return to China to succeed to the throne.

What about political issues after that?

Because the prince and him were stubborn, the prince was abolished, and then the fourth child was replaced.

So will the kings of the future follow suit? Wouldn't Da Ming be messed up? The primogeniture system is the surest way for emperors to inherit the lineage.

How much Emperor Taizong liked King Han back then, he did not change the crown prince in the end.

There's also a grandson in this.

How many years has Zhu Youchang been canonized as the grandson, is it necessary to make him the grandson of the fourth child?

Besides, after changing the crown prince, what should I do with the grandson?

Did you kill them together?

What about the other sons of the crown prince?

There are also henchmen of the crown prince and grandson, there are too many problems here.

He poured all his energy into Zhu Youchang, and Zhu Youchang must be stronger than Zhu Jianqi, but it's hard to say how much stronger.

A few years ago, the grandson was well-behaved and sensible, but after being canonized, his true nature was gradually exposed, which can be said to be far from the emperor expected by Zhu Qiyu.

It can be said that these are two failures.

In fact, when the hundred officials asked for the crown prince to be replaced, his heart moved slightly, and he was really moved.

Daming handed over to such two generations of monarchs, he was not at ease.

Zhu Jianqi's qualifications are not good, but he can be regarded as diligent.

After gaining power, he became more and more rampant, quite a villain, and most importantly, he was sabotaging Zhu Qiyu's national policy.

He has always emphasized that to be an emperor, you must know how to collect power and also know how to delegate power, which Zhu Jianqi will not.

Secondly, the relaxed political environment can make all industries flourish, and the people can flourish, the Ming Dynasty has no strong enemies, the country is rich and the people are strong, why do you have to make bitter hatred?

Finally, to be an emperor is to put your eyes at the bottom and see what the people below need.

He didn't listen to a word.

Such a monarch is bound to perish, even if he does not die at his hands, he will inevitably bury the root of the country's destruction.

Under his leadership, the current Ming Dynasty is different from any era in history, this is an extremely enlightened and prosperous country, this is a country with the largest territory from ancient times to the present, and this is a country with the worst international environment.

Such a Ming Emperor can't do well without two brushes.

The requirements for the emperor became extremely high.

is not the previous Ming Dynasty, put a dog on it, it can operate as usual, and it can also maintain the national fortune for more than 200 years.

Not right now.

The emperor needs to have a mind and ability, and he can produce the emperor from generation to generation.

If there is a waste, the Ming Dynasty will inevitably die within fifty years.

Because, Zhu Qiyu's structure of the world is a strong situation, such as Great Chu, Great Shang, Great Wei, Great Sui, Great Xia, Great Zhou, Great Tang, Great Chu, etc., all powerful countries, as long as they are given time to develop, within 50 years, they will enter the era of world hegemony.

Surrounded by wolves, how to properly handle international relations and be a good leader in the Ming Dynasty will test the superb political vision of the rulers.

Even if the emperor can't, there must be a council of ministers.

And this minister, the emperor must use it.

Like a few years ago, the grandson Zhu Youchang said a bunch of shortcomings of the courtiers, the king is stubborn, and the son is greedy; Xia Xun is stubborn and can't listen to people's words; Zhang Fuhua is unruly and unruly; Li Dongyang is hegemonic, Xie Qian is nothing but the mud and the mud; Liu Daxia is completely a power animal with no bottom line; Yang Yiqing used a country as an experiment and was a madman.

True, every minister has a huge weakness.

To be an emperor is to cover up their weaknesses and magnify their advantages, so that a good emperor is made, no one is perfect, and the way of employing people from the top is here, magnifying the advantages and putting people in the right position.

And not the emperor to guard them.

If the emperor guards against his ministers, what is he doing with them?

To govern the government, we must be stable and peaceful.

To be an emperor is to be confident and open-minded.

But Zhu Jianqi couldn't listen to it.

Zhu Youchang felt that these old antiques were very unwilling, and even felt that he should guard against civil officials and weaken the power of Xungui.

The difference is that there is no mistake around Zhu Jianqi, and there is a mistake around Zhu Youchang.

Just today, these ministers with huge shortcomings knelt outside the Heart Cultivation Hall to admonish, and Zhang Shihua even risked his life.

Don't look at it, it is under the leadership of these people that Daming has become a top power.

Why did Zhang Fuhua die?

Extremely disappointed in the crown prince, he also wanted to repay the emperor's kindness, he regarded himself as the emperor's adopted son, the old emperor was angry, he couldn't be angry, he could only die, this is a pure person.

Why did the old emperor live in the deep palace for a long time and had no authority, but the courtiers were willing to die for him?

This is in exchange for sincerity.

He is willing to delegate power, so the country is rich and the people are strong; He was willing to trust the courtiers, so everyone was in power.

That's right, they are greedy or bad, they may not be good people, but they have the ability to govern the Ming Dynasty.

Like Xia Xun, after the death of Xiang Zhong, Han Yong, and Li Bing, he is almost an old handsome man sitting in the court, once a rebellion occurs, he can go out at any time.

Gao Ming, he may not be able to fight, but he is a good hand at governing the world, and it is always right to listen to his opinions more.

It is true that Xie Qian is useless, but he can reconcile the contradictions between the ministers and unite the government and the opposition, and he acts as a lubricant.

Liao Zhuang, Qin Hong, and Yang Yiqing all have rich experience in governance, especially Yang Yiqing, this madman, he is really good for Daming.

He may not be for the emperor's good, but he will definitely take Da Ming into account in everything.

There is also Yang Tinghe, as a relative of the crown prince, but he can act from a fair point of view, which ordinary people can't do.

That's right, Yang Tinghe is like a stinky stone, in order to pave the way for his son, he cheated in the imperial examination and named his son Yang Shen as the champion.

People are selfish.

There is no saint in this world, you can't just see selfishness, and don't use his talents, right?

Yang Tinghe is indeed at fault, but Yang Shen really has this ability, the fraud is really wrong, it should be investigated and punished, but Yang Tinghe must always be given a little thin noodles, right?

There must always be some tolerance for talents.

Xing Guogong Yu Yunzhong, it's really useless, but it can't be because he is useless, you want to turn the duke into a marquis, right?

What do you make the soldiers who have made meritorious contributions on the front line think?

What do you make others who are also descendants of meritorious heroes think?

Don't forget that Yu Qian's exploits are not enough to feed his family for generations?

If you are stingy with your title, who will want to die for you?

Jingtai Dynasty, all the titles awarded, which are not killed by real skills, are all people with outstanding military achievements, with their military exploits, in exchange for other dynasties, the lord can also be promoted to a higher level, the earl becomes a marquis, but the Jingtai Dynasty is too rolled.

With these military exploits, isn't it enough for the country to support them for generations?

Otherwise, how did the world come about? Dreaming of it?

Xungui is the emperor's basic plate, master a few mountains, your throne will be as stable as Mount Tai, but you have to cut off the foundation of your throne, neurosis, right?

Zhu Qiyu couldn't understand Zhu Jianqi's thoughts.

Tuien, tuen.

The financial contraction, you can also push the grace, now that the family is so rich, you are not even willing to support the descendants of the heroes, who will be willing to work for you in the future?

If you want to govern the country with civilian officials, will civilian officials listen to you if they don't have military power?

"Old, old."

A tear slipped from the corner of Zhu Qiyu's eyes.

If he had been ten years younger, he would not have been so indecisive.

But God will never give him ten years again.

What is the road ahead of the Ming Dynasty, I can't say.

Outside the palace, the entire Jingshi was out of control.

More and more people gathered in the direction of the Forbidden City, even if there were guards blocking them, and wherever they were blocked, they knelt there.

It was as if the entire Jingshi was kneeling outside the gates.

And the news spread to all parts of Gyeonggi along the train.

After the inquiry, many people spontaneously went to Jingshi, and the train could not buy tickets, so they walked, and there was a cry on the road.

The news continued to spread, and people from both the north and south spontaneously came to the capital.

The officials from all over the country came to the center like snowflakes.

And outside the Heart Cultivation Palace, the courtiers were still kneeling.

Even if Zhu Qiyu sent eunuchs to persuade him several times, he just didn't leave, didn't eat when he sent porridge and food, and didn't wear any clothes.

When it's getting dark.

Zhu Qiyu had to come out again.

Because, the hospital came to the news of Zhang Shihua's death.

The team he left for the prince died like this, and died so worthless.

Zhu Qiyu was very sad.

"Your Majesty!" The cries were layered and earth-shattering.

"The shutdown of the center is going to cause a big incident, so let's go back to deal with government affairs."

Zhu Qiyu's mood was not high: "Zhang Fuhua died for me, a lonely old man, give him a nickname, how to seal it, listen to the prince." ”

Zhu Jianqi shook.

He wanted to leave, but the problem was that the hundred officials surrounded the Heart Cultivation Palace, and he couldn't leave at all.

As soon as he heard that Zhang Shihua was dead, he trembled in his heart again.

He looked down, and sure enough, he saw that Xia Xun was about to commit suicide.

"What's the fuss, go back to work." Zhu Qiyu knew that persuasion was useless, so he had to scold them.

Xia Xun borrowed the slope to get off the donkey: "Please give a holy decree to Your Majesty!" ”

"I'm a lonely old man, what kind of holy decree do I make, let the prince do it." Zhu Qiyu has never been called me, nor has he made a holy decree.

"There is only one day for you in the Ming Dynasty, please give a holy decree to Your Majesty!" Xia Xun bowed to the ground.

Everyone chanted.

"Let the prince go down."

After Zhu Qiyu finished speaking, the courtiers still maintained a bowing and kneeling posture, and asked with their eyebrows: "If I don't go down, you will kneel and die here?" ”

"The ministers are willing to walk in front of Your Majesty!" Xia Xun said loudly.

Zhu Jianqi gave Zhu Youyu a look and asked him to help say a few words.

Zhu Yourong was so anxious that his mouth was full of big bubbles, but he didn't know how to speak.

He pounced and howled: "Grandpa Huang, my grandson pleads on behalf of my father, and I beg Grandpa Huang to be gracious and forgive my father!" ”

Zhu Qiyu looked at his beloved eldest grandson and smiled: "It's not that I, a lonely old man, don't forgive your father, but that the civil and military officials don't forgive, what can you do?" ”

"Please grandfather whip father! Let my father make a decree to ask the people of the world for sin! ”

Guilty of self-inflicted edicts?

Zhu Qiyu looked at the ministers: "Is it okay?" ”

"Your Majesty, please give a holy decree!" Xia Xun bit to death and didn't let go.

Zhu Jianqi wanted to say, who would dare to use such a courtier?

The royal family dares to meddle in the royal affairs, forcing the palace so much, how can they sit firmly apart from their big seats?

"Zhuqing, are you forcing me, an old man, to die early?" Zhu Qiyu thought about it, and the country couldn't move.

"Does Your Majesty want to see the prosperous world you created single-handedly destroyed at the hands of the crown prince?"

Wang Wei cried bitterly: "The ministers are not forcing the palace, and they also know the pain in Your Majesty's heart, but for the sake of the country!" For the sake of the emperor and the Ming Dynasty! ”

"Your Majesty!"

"The minister is also sixty-five years old this year, and he has nothing to do in a few days, and the old minister also wants to be a Qing official and leave a good name!"

"But Your Majesty, I would rather the people of the world scold the old minister today than the death of the seventh generation of the Ming Dynasty!"

"The old minister knows what you are worried about, the country really can't be moved lightly, and the old minister doesn't want to be angry with you, and I hope you will live a long life, but don't you really think about the hearts of the people in the world and the Ming Dynasty?"

"In the past five years, you have lived in the deep palace for a long time, and you don't know what the people say about the prince!"

"Tiger father and dog, they are all good!"

"Even if he is a dog, the ministers are willing to assist him, but he doesn't listen to the ministers! The minister wants to tell the old man to return to his hometown, but he doesn't allow it, let the minister be a mascot and a seal in the center! ”

"If it's for the good of Daming, the minister can be a mascot, and the minister can care about nothing."

"But no!"

"Sixty years ago, Jingtai's fiscal revenue grew at a rate of 15% per year, and after 60 years of Jingtai, the growth rate dropped to 5%!"

"Do you know why? Because the rich escaped outside! They would rather settle in a vassal country than in Daming! ”

"In the sixty-third year of Jingtai, the Ming Dynasty has implemented a rich household control system!"

"I can't control people's hearts!"

"In the past, the Ming Dynasty was extremely open, why didn't anyone escape? Even the people of the vassal kingdom wanted to move back to the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Now, the people want to leave!"

"The statistics of the Immigration Bureau, I dare not report it, since the 62nd year of Jingtai, the immigration rate has increased at a rate of 20% every year, and the number of immigrants in the 64th year of Jingtai has been as high as 720,000."

"That's right, Daming is so big, what is a little rich."

"But this is the human heart!"

"Your Majesty, how long has it been since you heard the voice of the people at the bottom? The old minister can't hear it! ”

Wang Wei said excitedly: "You always say that this world is the world of the Ming Dynasty, not the world of one family and one surname." ”

"But now, it's a world with one family name!"

"It's the world of the political families of the Manchu Dynasty!"

"What about the people at the bottom? Nothing! ”

Wang Wei cried bitterly: "It wasn't like this a few years ago. ”

"Did you know? In the last two years, the voice in the newspaper has also disappeared! ”

"It's not that the people are too happy!"

"But don't let me say it!"

"The people of the world have been suffering from bureaucracy for a long time, but they don't let people say it!"

Wang Wei's crying became louder and louder: "Li Dongyang, you say!" Did you make this decree? ”

Li Dongyang bowed to the ground and did not dare to speak.

"What's the secret of the center? What can't be said! Good is good, bad is bad! ”

Wang Wei continued: "The secretary of the Manchu Dynasty, doing things for the people of the world, can he only sing praises of merit? Can't you say a bad word? ”

"Why? Can't you hear a word that is unpleasant? ”

"In the past, when Hu Hui, Wang Hong, Yao Kui, Nian Fu, Xiang Zhong, Li Bing, Wang Fu, and Zhu Ying were in power, it was not like this!"

"Tell everything, listen to everything!"

"Da Ming opened his way widely, starting from Taizu!"

"Taizu encouraged the people of the world to speak! Let people talk! ”

"Jingtai Dynasty is the most enlightened and open!"

"Anything can be said!"

"The Imperial History, the Supervision of History, and the Taoist Officials can spray the emperor's face full of spittle!"

"But Your Majesty, how long has it been since you saw the Imperial History?"

"The current imperial history, let me tell the truth? The outspoken and daring imperial history was sent to the place! Those flattering people, fill the Metropolitan Procuratorate! Sing praises every day! Talking every day! ”

"You changed the six departments to the Supervision Department back then, supervising hundreds of officials in the world."

"And now? Supervise? They are in the same boat! Tar someone with the same brush! ”

"The old minister gave up the lives of the nine clans today, and I want to tell you!"

Wang Wei yelled: "Liu Jian! You said! Where did the imperial history of the DPRK and China go? Who sent it out! ”

Liu Jian fell to the ground.

"Why did Zhang Fuhua crash to death on the steps?"

"He wants to tell you with his life!"

"He didn't dare tell you!"

"The government and the opposition dare not tell you!"

"Because I'm afraid that your body won't be able to bear it when you're old!"

"Your Majesty!"

"After the minister finished telling you today, he will hang himself when he goes home."

Wang Wei wiped away his tears and snot: "You don't know, the railway of the Ministry of Industry, the plan is speeding up every year, and the locomotive should be replaced every year." ”

"But you can go to the folk and take a look, most cities still use the locomotive of Jingtai in the past 50 years."

"Even some backward areas still use locomotives that should have been eliminated a long time ago!"

"The asphalt road, except for the places inspected by officials and guards, many places have fallen into disrepair and have been broken."

"In some areas, it is time to build water conservancy, but there is no money to start construction, and in some areas, water conservancy is repaired every year, and after demolition and repair, it is useless, and then officials are promoted all the way!"

"Those officials who really do practical things and do good things in the local area, no one cares, they all know that if they cling to the prince, they can be promoted, and no one can see if they don't cling to the prince and doing things honestly!"

"These have been reported by the imperial history, but no one cares."

"The old minister wants to take care of it, but the prince doesn't listen!"

"Because once a son of heaven and a courtier!"

"He's cultivating his own power, but he's using a group of people with wine bags and rice bags!"

"He only looks at the music, and whoever writes beautifully will be promoted!"

"He only looks at the side, whoever is on his side, even if he is a fool, he has to use it!"

"He doesn't look at political achievements, nor does he pay attention to people's livelihood, he just wants to do his so-called meritorious deeds, and the old minister has not seen that meritorious deeds until now!"

"Jingcha once every three years, but in order to promote his own people, the prince used Jingcha to exclude dissidents, resulting in these two Jingcha having lost their original role! There was also a party dispute, and the internal friction in the court was serious! ”

"Your Majesty!"

"Why did the old minister say that he was going to die in the country! This is the elephant of the dead country! ”

"Why don't you advise, you say?"

Wang Wei cried: "The old minister persuaded me, but I didn't listen, why did Xia Xun and Liao Zhuang ask for resignation, and why did Yang Yiqing use Jinguo as an experiment?" ”

"Everybody's tired! I can't say it's moving! ”

"Your Majesty, you have lived in the deep palace for a long time, and you don't know it!"

"This world seems to be full of flowers, but in fact, it is cooking oil with fire."

"If you go, Daming will no longer be brilliant, and the future will only go to the abyss."

"The old minister is also tired, the old minister doesn't want to be angry here, the old minister still has a few acres of land at home, his body is still acceptable, he ploughs and eats by himself, and it is considered healthy. The children and grandchildren have factory business, so they don't have to worry about the minister, and when His Majesty goes, the minister will go with him. ”

"In the life of the old minister, he has to meet the master, although he has no regrets in death!"

Wang Wei knocked his head three times, and blood came out of his head.

"Your Majesty, what Wang Shangshu said is just a drop in the bucket."

Liu Daxia said slowly: "Why did the ministers gather in the Heart Cultivation Hall to force the palace to you? Because of this Ming Dynasty today, the ministers are participants. ”

"The ministers don't want to be brilliant and prosperous, and suddenly collapse and lose the country!"

"You may not know that the prince has prepared two accounts, one is a public account for the subjects of the world to see, and the other is a secret account, which only a few people in the court know."

"The imperial court deficit rate is not as beautiful as it is open, and it is even a little shocking!"

"Where did the money go? The minister didn't know. ”

"The prince is not allowed to ask, he is not allowed to speak!"

Liu Daxia kowtowed heavily: "The minister is the secretary of the household department, and he can't unify the affairs of the book, so he is ashamed of his kindness to His Majesty, please belittle the minister as a common man, and the minister is willing to return to his hometown and think about it behind closed doors, and never see anyone." ”

"The old minister also has a felony!"

Liu Jian said loudly: "In order to protect the position of the first assistant, the old minister caters to His Royal Highness the Prince, helps him cover up, helps him make false accounts, and asks Your Majesty to take responsibility." ”

There are many officials who talk about the secret hidden by the prince.

Zhu Qiyu's brows furrowed deeply.

There are some things he knows.

For example, he has long understood the problem of railways and asphalt roads, mainly because there are people in the imperial court who are corrupt, resulting in very little funding to the local government, and local officials are still greedy, and after the corruption is over, there is not much left, and there is not enough to build roads.

This broken road was put there year after year, and then it was sparse every year, asking the center for money.

In some places, the road is not repaired at all, it is not repaired when it is not inspected, and it is not repaired when it is not inspected, and even some of them are not repaired in order to cope with the imperial history of the imperial court, and when the imperial history is gone, it is not repaired, and only the common people are unlucky.

But the prince really didn't know about the fake account.

Why did the prince make false accounts?

This Da Ming is his, why should he lie to himself?
