Chapter 66: Thirty-one Years Old

Time passes, time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it has arrived in the Hongzhi Dynasty.

Zhu Jianshen died in the twenty-ninth year of Chenghua.

Lived six years longer than the original history.

After all, he was heartbroken because of the death of Concubine Wan in the original time and space, so he died with it, but this Sister Wan didn't know where she was in this time and space, so he lived a few more years because of this.

However, this is not necessarily a good thing. How wise and martial he was in Chenghua in his early years, how mediocre he was in his later years, plus Yan Jingxiu had already served in the sixteenth year of Chenghua, Shang Yu died in the twentieth year of Chenghua, and the cabinet was also assimilated by Zhu Jianshen, so he did nothing.

There was a miasma in the court, and there were many monks and Taoists; At court, corruption began to prevail in the empire.

Compared with the prosperity in the early stage, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty at this time is gradually declining.

But in the twenty-ninth year of Chenghua, all this came to an end.

Ji Ji Tian Ning Dao Cheng Mingren revered Emperor Wensu Wu Hongde Shengxiao Chun, the temple number Xianzong, buried in Maoling.

At this time, his eldest son Zhu Youji had already died, so he was succeeded by his second son, Zhu Youji.

Era name Hiroji.

He began his reign.

The Hongzhi Dynasty lasted for a total of 12 years, and it was also a 12 years of recuperation.

During this time, he cleared out a group of Taoist monks left behind by his father, swept away the ministers of the cabinet corpse vegetarian meal, and appointed a group of virtuous officials, so that the Ming Dynasty had an improvement.

He sent the Ming army to recapture Hamiwei and re-establish his rule in the Western Regions.

Emperor Hongzhi was sympathetic to the people, and during his reign, he showed his benevolence to the people by paying far more tax exemptions to the people than his father.

Needless to say, there is no need to say anything about the reduction of royal expenditures, the prohibition of kings and nobles from embezzling people's land, and so on.

On him, there seemed to be the shadows of Hongxi and Xuande back then, which gave Daming a wave of blood.

Of course, if you really want to say that this emperor is the Holy Lord Mingjun, then it can't be counted as all.

Empress Zhang's two brothers, needless to say, have not changed much in this time and space, relying on Empress Zhang's favor, they acted recklessly, causing the people of Beijing to complain.

And in the last years of Hongzhi, the minister Liu Daxia also played and openly said that sentence:

"The people of the world are poor!" It can be seen that Hongzhi Zhongxing is not so perfect.

Although this is due to the frequent occurrence of natural disasters, the emperor's indulging measures in the face of corruption among officials and eunuchs cannot be said to be an important factor.

He also likes to be with the mud, the noble civil officials, some of the crimes committed are enough to cut off the head even during the Renxuan period, and they pass with him lightly.

For example, in the smuggling case of Marquis Anyuan, strategic materials such as sulfur and saltpeter dared to be sold, and this time Jiaozhi was classified as Daming, and he had no way to sell it to Jiaozhi.

Sold to the Governor's Mansion in Luzon.

In this way, during the Hongwu period, the three clans did not have it, he was just dismissed by the Guangdong General Army, and the knight was not taken.

However, some of the things that happened in the Hongzhi Dynasty were also different from the original time and space. In the original history, Liu Daxia and others reformed the Governor's Office of the Five Armies in the Hongzhi Dynasty, stripping the Governor's Office of the Five Armies of the right to appoint and dismiss personnel, military households and the management power of military fields.

As for this time and space, the civil officials failed to succeed, Xungui launched a fierce resistance under the leadership of the contemporary Chen Guogong, although Yan Yuan is young, but his ability is not small.

"Emperor Taizu appointed that the Governor's Office of the Five Armies is in charge of the power to command the army and the World Guard, while the Ministry of War is responsible for the mobilization of the Ming army and the dispatch of grain, grass and ordnance.

"Now the Ministry of War wants to get these powers, and set up the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, if Your Majesty allows it, then the military power and administrative power will all belong to the six ministries, and they will be under the control of the cabinet, Your Majesty, so I want to ask, who is the master in this big tomorrow?"

With just a few words, Emperor Hongzhi changed his mind in an instant.

Although this statement is exaggerated, the real situation is far more complicated than this said, and it is very difficult for the cabinet to control the military power and threaten the emperor, but it does not prevent this from being possible.

If there was this possibility, the emperor would not allow it.

No matter how much Hongji listens to the civil officials, it is impossible for him to hand over his safety to others.

The efforts of Liu Daxia and other courtiers to gather military power to the military department were directly broken.

This is also the first time that Yan Yuan has shown his fangs, which has made the civil officials look sideways.

However, in addition, there is not too much conflict between the Chen Guogong Mansion and the ministers, as long as it does not involve the struggle for power, and the emperor is at peace with the civil ministers, then the nobles naturally cannot be committed against the civil officials.

All in all, it's ZTE.

Anyway, the twelfth year of Hongji has passed. In the long country that the Ming Dynasty has gone through, these twelve years are not very remarkable.

In the past twelve years, Yan Ling has basically stayed in the south, and only went back once when he ascended the throne.

It was not until the eve of Zhu Houzhao's accession to the throne that he finally returned to Beijing.

……

In the twelfth year of Hongzhi, the Hongzhi Emperor collapsed, and he built Tianming, Daocheng, Chunzhongzheng, Shengwen, Shenwu, Zhiren, and the Emperor of Virtue, and the temple was called Xiaozong. His eldest son and only son, Zhu Houzhao, ascended the throne and named Zhengde.

This is another young emperor, and when he ascended the throne, he was only fifteen years old.

【Zhu Houzhao】

[Politics: 77 Military: 79 Business: 60 Armed Forces: 79 Diplomacy: 68]

It doesn't look like he's tall, but you're only fifteen!

Although there is obviously some struggling business and diplomacy, the other three are very good.

And at this time, the panel sounded again, and it seemed that the reward had arrived.

Yan Ling glanced at his reward.

Having witnessed Zhu Youjiao's ascension to the throne before, it was naturally beneficial, but now that thing is hanging around his waist.

[Equipment: Bronze Ancient Sword]

[Effect: Mystery +50%, Oppression +50%, Enemy Morale +100%]

As for this one, it's a character experience card.

Yan Ling glanced at it, and in the next second, the young man with a hearty smile on his face and a layer of aura on his body made him unable to take his eyes off it anymore.

WC, show!

[Character Experience Card: Liu Xiu]

[Want to know what a child of destiny is?] Meteorite, glacial ...... There's something for everyone. 】

[Frequency: 3, timeliness: half an hour]

Yan Ling's eyes widened.

Brother Houzhao, you are really my lucky star, you actually issued his experience card!

With this thing, plus the previous [Wine Glass] and [Weather Experience Card: Wind], personal safety is worry-free! Who can touch me?

Not only that, the current Yan Ling, as long as he is willing, is a humanoid natural disaster!

The smile on the corner of his mouth is more difficult to suppress than AK.
