After Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, he obeyed his father's orders and reused Chen Guogong Yan Keng and San Yang.

The cabinet composed of Sanyang has an extremely efficient operation and tacit cooperation, and with their assistance, the government affairs are handled very efficiently, and the next day has begun to recuperate.

Zhu Gaochi has many advantages, such as his benevolence and love for the people, which makes the court under his rule and the Hongwu of that year almost two extremes, and has been praised by hundreds of officials.

However, it is precisely this series of measures that has brought obvious drawbacks, and it is necessary to know that a good emperor must not only be benevolent, but also ruthless.

For example, because of his lenient attitude towards officials, corrupt officials began to rise gradually.

For example, his love for the people has reached a very outrageous level. He stopped going to the West, even if it could bring huge profits to the Ming Dynasty, he stopped it, just because every time he went to the West, a large number of people had to serve in the army, which was a waste of people's power in his eyes.

Although Yan Keng opposed it, but at this point, Zhu Gaochi did not let go, he bluntly said that the coastal people have suffered from the West for a long time!

Such a tough attitude made Yan Keng helpless. Besides, the other party doesn't go to the West, and it just so happens that the coastal family can divide the share of the royal family, so he just persuaded a few words, but the other party didn't listen, so he could let him.

However, when it came to moving the capital back to Nanjing, Yan Keng firmly opposed it and resolutely stood on the opposite side of Zhu Gaochi.

As for returning to Nanjing, Zhu Gaochi's reason is still that it costs money to work for the people.

As we all know, we Chinese like to run to the big city, Beijing as the capital, naturally attracted a large number of merchants and people, at the same time this place is the center of the Ming Dynasty, with an extremely heavy administrative system, relying on food near Beijing is far from enough.

The strategy adopted by Zhu Di was to transfer the grain and grass from the south to the north.

However, the annual transfer of grain from the south to the north requires a great deal of people's labor.

It happened that it had only been a few years since the capital was moved, and many officials also wanted to return to their roots, so they repeatedly wrote books, which suited Zhu Gaochi's appetite.

But when he called Yan Keng, he was refuted mercilessly by the other party.

"What His Majesty said is that it is a waste of money and labor, but he does not know that after the canal is dredged, countless boats are rampant on the canal, and 100,000 workers are tied to their food and clothing. If Your Majesty abolish the Cao Yun, what about the Cao Gong? Are they grateful to His Majesty, or are they resentful of His Majesty for starving him of food and clothing? ”

"In the past, Emperor Taizong toured the north and set two major fortresses in the north. Xijing guards the Shaanxi land, so as to control the northwest and coerce the desert; Beijing is the key point in the north, and the large army is assembled, not only to defend the Beijing division, but also to garrison the northern frontier, and then control Liaodong, in order to prevent changes outside the fortress, which is the policy of determining the country. ”

"At the time of Hongwu, there were nine great kings, although they were all in the south, but the north was also peaceful. Yongle has Liang Guogong sweeping the north, the grassland departments are all ministers, Yongle has been in Nanjing for more than ten years, and it is also unharmed. ”

"But what about you, Your Majesty? What do you have in Northland? ”

"The Northland is too peaceful for a while, can it be peaceful for a lifetime? If there is a change in the north, then the Ming whip is beyond the reach, but I am afraid that between the ten months and the moon, there will only be half of the country left! ”

"Your Majesty, please think twice!" After Yan Keng finished speaking, he kowtowed deeply.

Of course, he also has selfish intentions, Nanjing is too close to Ningbo Mansion, once he returns to Nanjing, the imperial court's control over Jiangnan will undoubtedly be greatly strengthened, which is extremely unfavorable to the development of the family in Jiangnan.

But what he said was also from the bottom of his heart.

Zhu Gaochi hesitated.

Of course, he trusted himself very much, and seeing that the other party was so firmly opposed, he was suddenly a little shaken, and what Yan Keng said was also deeply imprinted in his heart.

Yan Keng said a word, and analyzed everything clearly, and he immediately understood the stakes.

It's just that Nanjing is indeed the capital he has been wanting for a long time, but it is a little difficult to choose for a while.

Yan Keng peeked over and saw the thoughtful expression on Emperor Hongxi's face, knowing that the other party had been moved by himself.

He decided to release his killer feature:

"Your Majesty, the minister has just received a report, since a month ago, the earth dragons around Nanjing City have turned over dozens of times!"

As he spoke, he took the letter from his sleeve and handed it over.

"Your Majesty, it's not unusual for the Earth Dragon to turn over. But so often, it's rare! Isn't this providential? ”

Zhu Gaochi took the letter in disbelief, looked at it carefully, and then, his eyes widened suddenly!

Since March of the first year, there have been dozens of earthquakes in Nanjing!

Successive large-scale earthquakes meant that the area was not suitable as the capital of a unified regime due to instability.

Not only that, in Zhu Gaochi's view, this is a warning from God to him.

After all, there were no earthquakes for decades before, and suddenly there were dozens of them, and at this critical moment of preparing to move the capital, Zhu Gaochi took it for granted that this was a warning from heaven: Don't fool around, you kid.

Emperor Hongxi's sideburns gradually slid down with sweat.

Even if he is ninety-five, he will not dare to disobey the orders of heaven.

His voice trembled a little, and he said continuously: "According to you, according to you!" I won't mention the matter of moving the capital again! ”

Yan Keng was overjoyed and immediately bowed down:

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

The matter of moving the capital is stopped.

Through this incident, Zhu Gaochi also deeply realized Yan Keng's foresight, and he trusted and relied on Yan Keng even more.

In addition to the matter of moving the capital, Yan Keng also very much agreed with Zhu Gaochi's policy of resting.

With his assistance, the Ming Dynasty entered a long-lost peace.

There is still a price to pay for the prosperity of the times, and it is an indisputable fact that the people suffer from forced labor, and in the Hongxi Dynasty, the redundant forced labor was stopped, and the people lived a peaceful life at sunrise and daily income.

If there is panel data, then the blood bar of the Ming Dynasty at this time must be "+".

But as Yan Ling saw, Zhu Gaochi's life qi was extremely thin and stained gray, which was a sign that his life was coming to an end and the medicine stone was difficult to treat.

After all, Zhu Gaochi's health has always been poor, and he has helped his father deal with affairs for many years, and after he ascended the throne, he has been very diligent and diligent.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang is diligent because he has a strong physique that has worked hard from the bottom, Zhu Gaochi is three high, how can he withstand such hard work?

Only eight months after ascending the throne, he fell ill and was out of control, but in two days, it was convenient for the Qin'an Temple to drive west.

His existence seems to be just a transition, just to let the hard-working Yongle Dynasty end the mighty and mighty Dynasty, and then usher in the Xuande Dynasty of recuperation.

Hong Hee is short-lived, but dazzling enough.

Zhu Gaochi used his benevolence to quell the large use of civil resources since Yongle, rehabilitated many former ministers of Jianwen, and began the prelude to the rule of Renxuan.

In May of the first year of Hongxi, Emperor Hongxi died at the age of forty-seven. "Respect for the Heavenly Body, Pure Sincerity, Dehong Wenqin Wuzhang Shengda Xiaozhao Emperor", the temple name Renzong, buried in the Offering Mausoleum.

The crown prince Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne as Emperor Xuande.

——

PS: After reading the recipe of the old Zhu family, I can only say that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was short-lived for no reason.

Except for the rice and noodles, which are all meat, there are almost no vegetables.

Look at this breakfast: stir-fried mutton, fried goose, stir-fried yellow cabbage with pork, vegetarian sauce inserted in clear sauce, steamed pork trotter belly, fried fresh fish in two cooks, oven meat, basket noodles, chicken soft soup, fragrant rice, bean soup.

Watermelons are roasted with salt.

It's no wonder that you can't eat three highs.

The old Taoist priest can live for so long, thanks to his vegetarian diet.
