"Immortal Master, is this person really the master of my Ming Zhongxing?"

"A generation of Ming Jun praised by future generations?!"

Old Zhu Di couldn't help it, looked at Ji Boying, and asked in a deep voice.

Even emperors like Emperor Hongxi (on sick leave) and Emperor Xuande, who have always treated Wenchen preferentially, even in dynasties with very powerful ministers such as Jingtai, have never dared to blatantly buy the death penalty with silver.

According to this rule, a corrupt official embezzles 10,000 taels of silver, uses 5,000 taels to buy a capital crime, and then turns around and is greedy for another 10,000 taels, and then spends 5,000 taels to buy a capital crime, and gives 10,000 taels to the court back and forth, and makes a net profit of 10,000 taels, which is simply a 'virtuous circle'.

No wonder the Jiajing Immortals will say: I take two million for my money, I take one million, do you want me to thank them?!

As for where does the greedy silver come from?

It's not all the scavenged people's fat and people's ointment, but in the end, it's the people at the bottom who suffer.

Ji Boying looked at Old Zhu Di, was silent for a moment, and nodded.

"But..."

Old Zhu Di opened his mouth to speak, but finally sighed, didn't speak, he didn't know what to say.

"At least, he's the master of revival in some people's hearts."

"For example, the civil service group that we mentioned in the last lesson."

Ji Boying spoke lightly, and then turned around and walked a few steps.

"Since Hongzhi ascended the throne, the afternoon dynasty has been added, and the court has been discussing endlessly, and the feasts have continued."

The so-called sutra feast refers to the imperial chair specially set up for the emperor to lecture on the scriptures and history since the Han and Tang dynasties.

To put it nicely, it is to let the emperor receive the edification from the sage's scriptures.

To put it bluntly, it is to brainwash the emperor.

Meetings, banquets, especially in teaching the emperor how to behave, govern the country, and level the world, civil officials have always been the most enthusiastic.

But if the emperor of any dynasty makes a lot of effort in the two things of 'court meeting' and 'scripture feast', it is definitely a holy monarch in the eyes of civil officials.

And vice versa.

For example, Zhu Jianshen, the blackened Emperor of Chenghua, who has no skin on his body, Zhu Jianshen will not hold meetings, let alone have any sutra feasts.

Emperor Chenghua, who was seated, frowned when he heard this.

The court has a constant feast?

Holding a meeting every day can be used as a fart, and holding a meeting every day can calm the Jingxiang displaced people? Can a meeting every day defeat Mongolia? Can you plow the court and sweep the holes in a meeting every day?

Lao Tzu has not held several meetings for more than ten years, and he has not done everything that should be done.

Emperor Chenghua was the first to make a move, and because he was in the deep palace all the year round, he was jokingly described as weakness and incompetence by many literati in later generations, and even wrote a wild history of how he ate grapes.

But if you think about it carefully, the emperor actually has nothing good to do, once he goes out, he has to spend a lot of silver, which consumes the national strength and people's strength, so it is better to nest in the harem.

In fact, the reason why Zhu Jianshen didn't go to court was just because he didn't want to beep blindly with that group of civil servants, and in his eyes, these old masters with mouths could quarrel for a long time over a little.

Although he didn't go to court, he didn't do anything as an emperor, and he did it very well.

In the Chenghua Dynasty, the court was known as 'the old three pavilions of paper paste, and the six books of clay sculpture'.

All kinds of popular reading materials have seized this point, taking this as a powerful evidence of Emperor Chenghua's inaction and the darkness of the government during the Chenghua period, and widely publicized it to the outside world.

But I never thought about why the Chenghua Dynasty had the phenomenon of 'paper paste three pavilion old, clay sculpture six books'.

Clay sculpture six books, these five words are also very applicable in the Hongwu Dynasty.

That's because Emperor Chenghua doesn't need these ministers to mix, it is enough for you ministers to hand over the power in your hands, receive salaries as decorations, and maintain the normal operation of the empire.

As for the rest, Lao Tzu will do it himself.

Whether it was recovering the Hetao or ploughing the court to sweep the caves, it was Zhu Jianshen's life alone, and he never asked the opinions of these ministers.

Because he knows that once these people open their mouths, they will be a bunch of.

This also confirms the prosperity of the imperial power of the Chenghua Dynasty.

This is since the civil engineering change, the imperial power rose again, overwhelmed the civil official group, and directly turned the civil official group into a castle in the air, and the cabinet drank tea every day, and finished work at the end of the day.

And when Emperor Chenghua died and the Hongzhi Dynasty began, the civil official group was like a dehydrated three-body person in the three-body problem, recovering rapidly, and one by one it became active again.

"The feast continues?"

Hearing these four words, Lao Zhu's brows furrowed even tighter.

What he hated most was that these old masters were beeping in front of him.

Not to mention Zhu Di, who has skipped class since he was a child.

"Xin Yi."

On the podium, Ji Boying swept his eyes and saw Zhu Shenshen.

It wasn't until his eyes came that Zhu Jianshen realized that the immortal master was shouting to himself, and hurriedly stood up.

"Tell me about your martial arts."

Originally, because he was too late to serve Concubine Wan last night, Zhu Jianshen, who was a little sleepy in the morning.

This will suddenly stop sleepy, and the waist will be straight.

"I put down the rebellion of millions of displaced people in Jingxiang."

"I expelled the Mongol Tatars."

"I have regained the Loop."

"I have reclaimed Hamiwei."

"I ordered to conquer the Jurchens in Jianzhou, won a complete victory, and beheaded the Jurchen thieves Dong Shan."

After that, Zhu Jianshen didn't continue to speak.

After all, Zhu Jianshen who will be in Chenghua for the eleventh year is only Zhu Jianshen, and he doesn't know the merits of the next twelve years.

At this moment, Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao stood up.

"Imperial Grandfather, you haven't finished yet!"

"In the fifteenth year of Chenghua, you ordered the slaughter of the Jianzhou Jurchens, and it was written in the holy decree that their nests would be smashed and their species would be eliminated!"

"Chenghua has fought more than ten battles with foreign countries, and has never been defeated!"

"How majestic! How magnificent! ”

After Zhu Jianshen heard Zhu Houzhao's words, his brain was stunned.

Am I so rigid? How did I not know?

These words fell in the ears of Lao Zhu and Lao Zhu Di and other princes of heaven, and when they looked at Chenghua Zhu Jianshen's eyes, they suddenly changed.

The immortal master sold it at this level, it turns out that this kid is the real master of Zhongxing!

Especially after knowing that the Jianzhou Jurchen was the braid that would occupy the Central Plains in the future, Lao Zhu and others regarded the Jianzhou Jurchen as a perishable clan.

For example, in the Hongwu Dynasty, Lao Zhu had already issued an order a few days ago to worship Xu Da as the commander, and immediately set out to lead an army of 100,000 to the north to conquer the Jianzhou Jurchens, which was bound to wipe out the Jianzhou Jurchens in one fell swoop.

"Yes, it deserves to be a good son of my Zhu family, and he has a bit of our demeanor!"

Lao Zhu's originally dark face, after hearing Zhu Jianshen's achievements, finally showed a smile at this time.

"Taizu praises falsely, seeing the depth is just doing the duty of a Zhu family."

Zhu Jianshen was neither humble nor arrogant, and bowed deeply to Lao Zhu.

Even Lao Zhu Di and Zhu Laosi threw friendly smiles at Zhu Jianshen, Hong Xi, Zhu Zhanji and Emperor Xuande, as well as Yongle and Zhu Xiaozhu, all had appreciation in their eyes, and at the same time a little envy.

After all, when Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji were in power, there were no martial arts worth mentioning.

Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that only Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang can overshadow Zhu Jianshen in martial arts, and the third is properly and undisputed.

"Come on, let's move on to the next illusion."

Ji Boying's voice fell.

Lao Zhu and the others were all attentive, watching the changes in the surrounding scenery.

The morning glimmers, the morning sun falls through the clouds, crisscrossed by rivers, crops and fields.

The fertile fields mentioned in the poem are talking about the current scene.

"Here?"

Lao Zhu frowned slightly, although he had inspected many places in the country, it was still extremely rare to see such fertile land.

"It's a Tartar!"

Old Zhu Di's eyes were cold.

At this time, there was a group of cavalry, galloping on the banks of the river, and the fur armor on their bodies was the standard equipment of the Tatars.

"This is the Hetao Plain."

Ji Boying said lightly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

"Impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

"I have taken the Hetao and left behind enough troops in the Hetao to deter the Mongols!"

Chenghua Emperor Zhu was stunned for a moment, and said in a loud voice.

"Hiroshi withdrew."

"The border army is in ruins."

"So, the loop is lost."

Ji Boying looked at Zhu Jianshen calmly.

"In the fifth year of Hongzhi, Zhu Youzhi adopted Ye Qi's proposal to abolish the Kaizhong Law and change it to Nayin Kaizhong."

"Since then, the side has been in ruins."

The so-called opening of the Chinese method means that the salt merchants transport the grain to the border pass, and then return to the household department from the border pass to receive the salt guide, so that the salt can be sold, so that the food supply of the border army can be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

In the opening of the silver bank, the grain was directly cut off at the border gate, and the salt merchant directly handed over the silver to the household department, and then the household department distributed the salt lead.

In this way, the treasury can be replenished in a short period of time.

Of course, it is also convenient for powerful officials and gentlemen to make money from it.

From the perspective of historical verification, the abolition of the Kaizhong Law is an extremely short-sighted plan.

Nayin Kaizhong brought a surplus of one million taels to the Ming Dynasty in the short term, but the economic circulation system of the border towns, which was originally in a virtuous circle, was seriously damaged, causing the border towns to lose their hematopoietic function, and then causing military spending to skyrocket, which became a great financial burden for the Ming Dynasty.

In less than two years, the finances were quickly swallowed up by the rising military spending of border towns, and the border towns that relied on the state's continuous investment in military spending to maintain them also became one of the roots of the decline of the Ming Dynasty.

It is not known how Zhu Youzhu viewed this matter back then, and it is also unknown why he approved this proposal.

Anyway, I was able to find it, and it was exact.

That is Ye Qi, who proposed to abolish the opening of the Chinese law, this family has been a big salt merchant for generations, and after the opening of the bank, the wealth of the Ye family has skyrocketed by at least ten times.

"In addition, since the beginning of the Hongzhi Dynasty, Wenchen began to govern the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and whether it was the appointment of military attachés or the right to land and military household registration in the guard, they were all handed over to Wenchen to manage."

"From here on, the land of the National Health Center began to disappear at an alarming rate, and as for where the land disappeared and into whose hands, you can think for yourself."

Ji Boying's voice was very calm, but Ah Biao was very excited!

"The immortal master has repeatedly said that he wants to improve the status of the soldiers, and to balance the governor's mansion of the five armies with the military department, after the change of Tumubao, the governor's mansion of the five armies has declined, and now he has let Wenchen govern the governor's mansion of the five armies, so ...!"

"The military general is in my Ming Dynasty, and there will be no status at all!"

Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu Di, and Zhu Lao Si are all getting colder and colder.

They all understand a truth, in a peaceful world, it is indeed necessary to weaken the power in the hands of military generals, but it is definitely not directly to death.

If the country breaks out into a war, and there is no general of the main army, who will carry the flag of the commander?!

Followed by.

The surrounding scene, the illusion changed again, and before Lao Zhu and the others could see how the scenery was clearly.

Ji Boying's voice fell into their ears.

"Hami, it's lost too."

Then, the scene changed again.

"The Jianzhou Jurchens regained their vitality during the Hongzhi period, and there was another disaster."

When all the surrounding scenery returned to the main hall of the Drunken Immortal Building.

Zhu Jianshen, who was sitting in the seat, was stunned at this time, his eyes were dull, and he looked like he had nothing to love.

Zhu Jianshen: It's numb, it's completely numb, and the daring to love Lao Tzu has been fucking done for nothing all these years!

Seeing this, Zhu Houzhao next to him moved the chair very intimately and approached to comfort him.

"Grandfather Huang, don't be sad, don't be sad."

"If there is a grandson, there will be a Hetao, and there will be Hami."

"As for the Jianzhou Jurchens, I will inherit your will and slaughter these braids completely."

Zhu Jianshen subconsciously looked at Zhu Houzhao: Inherit the legacy? Brother, am I still alive and well?

"My father actually wants to enrich the country and strengthen the people, but he believes in those civil servants too much."

Zhu Houzhao was a little embarrassed under Zhu Jianshen's gaze, and said with a smile.

The orthodox pig's head fort of this meeting is also secretly proud: Hey, this Hongzhi looks similar to me, I don't believe in bullshit Wenchen, I believe in eunuchs!

On the side of the podium, Lao Zhu, who was sitting on the Taishi chair, looked at Ji Boying at this time.

"Brother, let's go to the Hongzhi Dynasty."

The voice was flat, but the eyes were cold.

"There's no hurry, I'm not done yet."

"In our practical observation class, before going to the observation site to practice, we must explain the background before the class clearly and practice with questions, so as to play the role of warning teaching."

Ji Boying glanced at Lao Zhu.

Then speak.

"Come, let's move on to the final illusion."

Hearing this, Lao Zhu and Lao Zhu Di felt a sigh in their hearts.

Since he began to experience the fairy fantasy world, it was the first time that he didn't want to enter the illusion world, both of them were old, and they were afraid that their hearts would not be able to stand the blow, so they passed directly on the spot.

As Ji Boying's voice fell, the surrounding scenery changed rapidly again.

And this time, it's God's Horn of Time.

"Fly, fly, fly!"

"Soar through the clouds!"

Jiajing Immortal and the young Zhu Houxi both looked surprised, because their location was above the Ming Emperor's capital, and they were overlooking the entire Beijing Division from above.

And the height is still rising, and the emperor in the lower and lower eyes is extremely small.

"It's, it's too fast, I, I'm almost out of breath..."

Yongle Big Fat covered his heart, kept taking deep breaths, and Yongle Xiaozhu, who was sitting behind him, hurriedly patted his father on the back.

This kind of visual rapid rise will also give people a thrilling feeling.

Even the emperors who rolled over from the battlefield, such as Lao Zhu Lao Zhu Di and Zhu Lao Si, were used to seeing strong winds and waves, and they were a little uneasy under such a rapid climb.

Only Jiajing Immortal and the young man Zhu Houxi, these two people seemed to be stunned, one closed his eyes and pinched the trick with his hands, and the other was actually soaring through the clouds.

Suddenly.

The height rises and comes to an abrupt end.

"Wow, gag!"

Jianwen, who had not made a sound, was fat, and vomited directly.

Ji Boying glanced at the princes of the Son of Heaven, mainly at Jianwen's big fat, and then withdrew his gaze.

"Watch out."

Looking down, what appeared in front of everyone was the territory of the entire Ming Dynasty.

As Ji Boying spoke, hundreds of red dots flashed everywhere on this map.

"These are all temples built by the Hongzhi Dynasty."

"The total cost is about ten million taels of silver."

Hearing this, Lao Zhu Di's pupils shrank instantly.

"Ten million taels of silver!"

He was bent on launching the third northern expedition, and the six courtiers repeatedly cried poor, if he had this ten million taels of silver, what military expenses would he worry about? Why worry about the immortality of the Tartars!

And this loser used so much money to engage in a temple to view the universe!

Lao Zhu's chest is even more violently rising and falling at this moment.

He didn't want to talk anymore, he just had to carry a knife now.

Everyone in the world knows that Jiajing is a fairy cultivator, but in fact, Emperor Hongzhi is also a veteran.

Zhu Youzhu since Hongzhi became obsessed with Zhaijiao in the eighth year, began to divert money from the treasury, hundreds of thousands of taels this year, and millions of taels next year.

In the eighteenth year of Chenghua, the abundance of the treasury reached the prosperity of the Ming and Qing dynasties for 600 years, which was the legacy left by Zhu Jianshen to Zhu Youji.

In the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, the treasury was poor, the financial deficit was thousands of miles, and Zhu Houzhao could not even make up the money for Zhu Youji's funeral and the enthronement ceremony for himself.

In many later readings, it is depicted in this way that the three dynasties of Chenghua-Hongzhi-Zhengde are depicted: Zhu Jianshen left a mess for Zhu Youzhi to clean up, Zhu Youzhu cleaned up the mess, left a prosperous era, and then Zhu Houzhao was defeated.

But if you really have to carefully analyze all kinds of serious historical materials that can stand up to scrutiny, the real situation is likely to be like this: Zhu Jianshen left a prosperous era for Zhu Youzhu to inherit, Zhu Youzhu was defeated, leaving a mess, and then Zhu Houzhao wiped his ass.

Of course, this is all the words of one family, how to look at it, you judge yourself.

However, you can piggyback on the current situation of the Wenchen of the three dynasties, the Wenchen of the Chenghua Dynasty are basically fishing and drinking tea, the Wenchen of the Hongzhi Dynasty is active, hard-working, and upward, and the Wenchen of the Zhengde Dynasty is bent on trying to make the emperor obedient.

Holographic projection, with the silence of everyone, like a dream bubble dissipated, the surrounding scene returned to the scene of the main hall of the Drunken Immortal Building.

Ji Boying swept over these princes of heaven, and almost all that should be said was finished.

"Almost, let's go."

Actually, it's a bit unfinished, and it's still very important.

That is the relatives of the Zhang family, especially Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling, the two brothers-in-law who are extremely rampant under the connivance of Emperor Hongzhi, but I am afraid that Lao Zhu and these will not be able to stand it after listening to it, so they simply don't say it.

Lao Zhu took a deep breath.

His hand clenched the mace beside the Taishi's chair.

……………………………

Hongzhi time and space, Hongzhi seventeen years.

The wind is mild and the sun is shining, and this kind of weather is the best way to teach children.

Oh no, it's best for educating children.

Forbidden City, Gonghou Garden (Imperial Garden), Chenglong Pavilion.

Empress Zhang pouted and sat with her back angry.

"Your Majesty, Trillium just took some land, did he kill or set fire?"

"Why did these officials sue him like this, and even moved Emperor Taizu Gao out."

Because of his thinning hair, Zhu Youzhang, who does not take off his hat all year round, has a slightly pale face and sneers.

"The queen is not angry, I have already decreed an hour ago that all the 17,600 hectares of grange will be returned to Trillium."

"As for the impeachment of the official, there is no need to care."

"Even if Emperor Taizu Gao is alive, he will definitely approve of my approach."

"He's an old man, but he pays the most attention to blood and family affection...!"

Bang~!

Thunder, explosion.
