In the second year of Wanli, above the court.
The young Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun looked a little bored and couldn't sit still. He seemed to want to end today's morning court and go back to sleep in.
Behind the curtain, Queen Mother Li listened to the government behind the curtain. All edicts were issued by Li. Among the ministers, a man with a round face wearing a red official robe looked solemn and opened his mouth: " Zhang Xueyan, the governor of Liaodong, and Li Chengliang, the commander-in-chief, wrote a letter saying that Wang Gao, the leader of the Jianzhou Jurchens in Nuergandusi, invaded the border. What do you think should be done about the Jianzhou Jurchens?"
"Li Chengliang should be ordered to attack. These Jurchens have rebelled and surrendered again. We must not let them go easily. We should break their camp, capture Wang Gao alive, present him to the Meridian Gate, and behead him for public display!"
"Shanxi, there is a severe drought in Shanxi this year, and the governor of Gaoyou Prefecture in South Zhili has written a letter. Gaoyou has violent storms, rivers and seas overflow, more than 10,000 houses have collapsed, more than 1,600 residents have drowned, countless livestock, and warehouses and salt fields have drifted. The people were displaced, hungry and had no food; heavy rains caused disasters in Xuzhou, Yangzhou and other places, and tsunamis and rivers overflowed."
The man in the red official robe seemed to be presiding over the entire morning court. He looked at an energetic young official and couldn't help but said: "Shilang Zhao, I have appointed you as the Minister of Disaster Relief and Pension. You will go to the disaster area to provide relief to the victims, and you will be exempted from taxes and relief in Shanxi and other provinces." Land rent in Huai, Yang and other places.”
"Yes, Zhang Yuanfu."
The minister who was named swore and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, and Yuan Fu, please rest assured that after I take office, the people will have a mouthful of hot porridge to drink and a house to live in! We will never let the people be displaced!"
Empress Dowager Li, who was hiding behind the curtain, said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Minister Zhao."
When he heard Empress Dowager Li speak, the Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun, who had been wandering in the world, finally came to his senses and glanced at Zhang Juzheng, the chief minister of the cabinet who was staring at him. He couldn't help but shrink his head, and then made a childish voice. "Zhao Aiqing is really a pillar of the country by helping me to help the victims."
Although he was boasting very sincerely, his mischievous eyes seemed to be talking about other topics.
All in all, the words "weak, pitiful, helpless, and want to go out to play" are written on his face.
It was the second year of Wanli. Zhu Yijun, the famous Wanli Emperor in history, was only twelve years old. All military and state affairs relied on the cooperation of the Queen Mother Li and the chief minister of the cabinet Zhang Juzheng.
As for Zhu Yijun... he is more like a naughty child at the moment.
"The governor of Guangdong and Guangxi reported that Japanese pirates had invaded Tongguwei and other places in Guangdong, and the commander-in-chief Zhang Yuanxun was leading his troops to quell..."
The court hall was bustling with people, and government orders were being issued one after another.
Surveying land, implementing reforms, mobilizing military forces...
In such a huge empire, the livelihood of the people is entirely in the hands of the Gungun Dukes in this small Fengtian Palace. As the leader of the Gungun Dukes, Zhang Juzheng feels very tired. He only hopes that the young emperor can become talented and become a man comparable to Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty. Like a holy king.
only……
Looking at the naughty little emperor Zhu Yijun, Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but shook his head.
After handling all the political affairs for the day, the eunuch announced his resignation. The young emperor Zhu Yijun ran out of the palace with joy. However, Zhang Juzheng did not leave because of this. Instead, he followed Zhu Yijun's steps to the Qianqing Palace. .
After seeing Zhang Juzheng, the little emperor Zhu Yijun looked sad, shrank his head, and prayed to Zhang Juzheng: "Mr. Zhang, I have been studying for nine days in a row. Today is the tenth day, so I should take a break."
"His Majesty."
Zhang Juzheng was very respectful and said to the young emperor Zhu Yijun: "Taking a bath every ten days is just a rule set by His Majesty in private. It is only exempted from the rule on the third, sixth and ninth day of each month."
Hearing Zhang Juzheng's words, Zhu Yijun wailed, feeling very tired of studying, just like a primary school student who learned after school on Friday that he would have to go to school tomorrow.
Although he was the emperor, Zhu Yijun was extremely afraid of this important minister. After accepting this reality, Zhu Yijun could only put away his grievances and unwillingness, sit on the futon obediently, and prepare for class.
Although he looks like a good student on the surface, Zhu Yijun's thoughts have already jumped to the imperial garden, to the butterflies all over the mountains and plains, to the fluttering room playing with the little eunuch...
After all, it is the nature of children to be playful.
Just when Zhu Yijun was wandering in Taixu, he suddenly heard a mechanical sound:
[You have been invited to join the Ming Emperor chat group. 】
"ah?"
The sudden sound startled the little emperor Zhu Yijun. After subconsciously saying "ah", he began to look around.
"Um?"
Zhang Juzheng, who was looking for cases and planned to teach Zhu Yijun how to handle government affairs, was suddenly stunned, looked at Zhu Yijun, and immediately said with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you, but you are not feeling well?"
"Mr. Zhang, I just heard someone talking!" Zhu Yijun immediately shouted, "Who was talking just now? It was so loud!"
Zhang Juzheng:?
The accompanying eunuchs serving around him looked at each other in confusion, then bowed to Zhu Yijun and said, "Your Majesty, the maids didn't make any sound just now."
"Your Majesty has learned clearly, Your Majesty has learned clearly."
"..."
The surrounding eunuchs were in a circle, but Zhang Juzheng seemed to have seen through Zhu Yijun's little thoughts. After shaking his head, he said seriously to Zhu Yijun: "Your Majesty, you are carrying the country of the Ming Dynasty and the legacy of the previous emperors of the Ming Dynasty. Hi, I only hope that your majesty can study hard and learn how to govern the country, so as not to become a tyrant and a coward like Emperor Qin II and Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty!"
Zhang Juzheng didn't believe even a single word of Zhu Yijun's words. He just felt that Zhu Yijun wanted to take this opportunity to disrupt the class.
So, under Zhu Yijun's aggrieved gaze, he took out a ruler from Zhang Juzheng's sleeve, and without Zhang Juzheng saying anything, Zhu Yijun stretched out his hand consciously.
Zhang Juzheng didn't know how to use force, he just hit him twice, lightly and hardly. After Zhu Yijun felt the pain slightly, he sighed, knelt down and cried every word: "I hope your majesty will study harder in the future, and be able to learn how to govern the country, and protect me." The Ming Dynasty will be prosperous forever!"
"Mr. Zhang, I understand."
Although Zhu Yijun felt aggrieved, he did not dare to disobey Mr. Zhang's words, so he could only reluctantly agree.
Seeing this, Zhang Juzheng continued to teach, and Zhu Yijun could only continue the class with full of doubts.
But before Zhang Juzheng could finish his first sentence, Zhu Yijun heard a mechanical voice again.
[The group leader 'Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong' has held a group meeting. Will you participate? 】
"ah?!"
Zhu Yijun understood this this time and was a little frightened. He couldn't help shouting again.
This voice made Zhang Juzheng frown again and look at Zhu Yijun. Zhu Yijun didn't hesitate at all and said immediately: "Mr. Zhang, there really is a strange villain talking in my head!"
After Zhu Yijun finished speaking, he continued: "That villain said that Grandpa Huang invited me to attend some meeting... You said me, do you want me to go?"
"Emperor Sejong?"
Zhang Juzheng was stunned when he heard this. His thoughts suddenly returned to a night seven years ago, and he suddenly felt absurd.
Zhang Juzheng was deeply impressed by His Majesty Emperor Shizong Jiajing, who ruled the world for 45 years and overwhelmed the civil servants. Zhang Juzheng's first impression of the emperor came from this.
After seeing the situation of Emperor Jiajing, Zhang Juzheng wanted to train the now young Emperor Wanli into a sage monarch that everyone in the world could boast about, rather than a single man who could take advantage of all people with one man.
I thought that this oppressive minister could not breathe, and his monarchy far suppressed the power of his ministers. He had disappeared in the long river of history, but he never thought that he would hear this name again today, and it was from the mouth of the young new emperor.
This surprised Zhang Juzheng.
Seeing Mr. Zhang frozen in place, Zhu Yijun couldn't help but be happy.
To be honest, Zhu Yijun had forgotten what Grandpa Huang looked like... After all, he had never seen Grandpa Huang a few times in his life.
The last time he saw Grandpa Huang, Zhu Yijun was only four or five years old. As a young man, he didn't understand. He only knew that Grandpa Huang didn't seem to like himself and his father very much... But now that he heard Grandpa Huang's name, Mr. Zhang To be able to be stunned shows how capable Grandpa Huang is.
Grandpa Huang is so powerful, I must learn from Grandpa Huang and become an emperor like Grandpa Huang!
The young Zhu Yijun left such a seed in his heart and buried it in the pure land of his heart.
I have to say that Zhu Yijun did it, and he did not go to court in his later years...
And when Zhang Juzheng was stunned, Zhu Yijun was bored first and also made a clear voice: "Participate!"
As he shouted this sentence, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of Zhu Yijun's eyes, and then he felt his consciousness was in a trance. Soon, it disappeared among the colorful lights.
…
As the group leader and initiator, Zhu Houcong was naturally the first to arrive.
He stood leisurely in the pavilion, quietly waiting for the arrival of other group members.
Today's group meetings can be said to be a gathering of experts.
Initially, there were only four people in the group, namely the group leader Zhu Houcong, and group members Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di and Zhu Youjian.
Except for Zhu Youjian, all the first generation members are quite strong.
The second generation group member is Zhu Qiyu alone. Emperor Jingtai is also very capable and can help the building collapse.
The third generation group members include two iron wastes, Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Qizhen. The former is a small waste and the latter is a big waste.
But fortunately, the little waste has self-awareness, and the big waste... has been dealt with, and he was replaced by Zhu Biao, the prince of the Hongwu Dynasty, who was already the Taiping Emperor.
Coupled with the newly recruited Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun, it can be said that the group members have reached an all-star lineup.
What Zhu Houcong is looking forward to is what stage of emperor Zhu Yijun, the Wanli Emperor who joins the group this time, is.
You know, Emperor Wanli was the richest.
The more important point is...
[The number of group members has reached eight, and the group member rankings and national war mode will be launched. 】
Looking at the news reminder that appeared in front of him, Zhu Houcong couldn't help but feel a little happy.
Although I don't know what the use of this ranking is, this national war is what Zhu Houcong has been looking forward to for a long time.
If it can be delayed, then Zhu Houcong will try his best to find a way to delay it, and then he can participate after receiving the task reward from Jiangnan Manufacturing Administration.
"Hongcong, I thought I would be the most diligent and the first, but I didn't expect that you would be the first to come every time."
Far away, Zhu Houcong heard Zhu Yuanzhang's hearty laughter. He turned around and saw Zhu Yuanzhang walking from a distance with a smile on his face. He seemed to be very happy to see Zhu Houcong.
Zhu Houcong was silent for a moment and then said: "Master Hongwu, I am the leader of the group and the initiator of the group meeting, so I will be the first to come no matter what."
"Yeah?"
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, but he didn't take it to heart, and Zhu Di on the side also walked over with a tired face and yawned.
"Fourth, what's going on with you?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Di like this, he couldn't help but feel even happier. He pretended to be serious and said to Zhu Di, "You dreamed that your eldest brother was the emperor, and then you had a nightmare? Okay, fourth brother, we already knew that there was something wrong with you!"
"Dad, you think too much."
Zhu Di yawned, and then said: "The second son of my family went to Zhengtong... After going to Taiping Dynasty, he came back and yelled at his nephew to kill his uncle every day, which was treason. He even attacked the boss, and the boss also followed the soldiers. Knowing the subsequent history there, plus the fact that I injected him with some kind of genetic fluid, I became even more diligent..."
"Then the eldest daughter-in-law, the second daughter-in-law, and the third daughter-in-law quarreled, and Mrs. Sun also wanted to hang herself. The concubine was secretly sad and crying. The harem exploded into a pot of porridge. I don't have a queen. In the past, the eldest daughter-in-law took care of me. I'm in charge of the harem, but now the boss's wife is also making trouble, look at this..."
Zhu Di was very tired now. For the first time, he knew the power of chaos in the rear. It was much harder than fighting on the front line.
fight?
The number of soldiers is only a few hundred thousand at most, and they are very skilled in marching, fighting and setting up camps.
But once a woman makes a fuss or a son makes a fuss, it's a disaster.
I really want to give them all a tug, but I can't.
Therefore, Zhu Di can be said to be extremely upset these days.
Hearing Zhu Di's words, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but smile contemptuously: "What did we think it was? That's it? Look at our harem, it is prosperous and stable, and our sons don't dare to disobey us. You, Zhu Laosi, are you?" What happened?"
Yes, dad, what's your level?
In the early stage, your mother and queen were there, but in the later stage, you were going crazy. Who would dare to mess with you?
Dad, you have so many sons, except for the eldest brother, they are all just princes. That is to say, I took the throne of Yunwen's eldest nephew, and this is why you take a high look, otherwise it is nothing.
Zhu Di was very tired, but he couldn't refute, he could only boast: "Yes, father, my sons and ministers are still far inferior to your methods."
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied and couldn't help but nodded.
Zhu Houcong didn't know what to say about this.
Harem?
Indeed, he had several concubines and a queen when he ascended the throne, but he has been busy with his friends for more than half a year and has not gone back.
Therefore, Zhu Houcong said that he did not understand very much about this kind of thing.
"This is retribution for the fourth uncle. The fourth uncle is so worried. My nephew is willing to share the worries for the fourth uncle. The fourth uncle should return the throne to his nephew."
Zhu Yunwen also walked from a distance like a humble gentleman. After bowing to Zhu Yuanzhang, he smiled and said: "Grandpa Huang."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunwen and felt a little surprised for a moment.
The reason is simple. Zhu Yunwen has changed drastically.
From a bald monk to a long-haired Taoist priest.
"Why don't you become a monk and become a Taoist priest?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little surprised, and then asked: "Where did your hair come from? Why does it grow so fast?"
"wig."
Zhu Yunwen sighed slightly, and then said: "The overseas barbarians don't have my Chinese tradition of growing hair, so it's not difficult to get a wig. As for why I have to become a Taoist priest..."
Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhu Di resentfully, saying nothing.
What else could it be because of? The last few times he appeared in front of his fourth uncle in the form of a monk, he accidentally revealed the first character of the temple's name.
Therefore, Zhu Yunwen did not hesitate, moved his base camp, and changed his job from a monk to a Taoist priest.
Just as it happens, isn't there Zhu Houcong who is also a Taoist priest?
After saying that, Zhu Yunwen complained: "Oh, my father is still a temporary member, otherwise I would have gone to my father's place long ago, and I wouldn't have to worry about my fourth uncle all day long..."
After hearing Zhu Yunwen's words, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Di, and Zhu Di also smiled awkwardly.
It was an unreasonable disaster. After he returned, he did not order a search of Zhu Yunwen at all. It was purely because Zhu Yunwen was thinking nonsense.
"Meet all the ancestors."
Zhu Youjian also came here, but compared to other group members, Zhu Youjian's smile was brighter and brighter.
the reason is simple.
The crisis on his side is almost completely resolved, and Ming Dynasty is back on the market!
Seeing Zhu Youjian's appearance, all the emperors could understand why Zhu Youjian was smiling so much. They immediately stepped forward and asked for details, focusing on when the task would be completed.
The last one to arrive was Zhu Qiyu. He also seemed to be smiling. As soon as he arrived, he smiled and said: "The medicine in this mall is really easy to use."
Zhu Di asked with a smile: "How is it? How many were hit?"
Zhu Qiyu didn't hide it, and immediately said: "Among the concubines in the harem, three of them are pregnant, and there is also a palace maid..."
When Zhu Qiyu said this, everyone was instantly surprised.
Four pregnancies in one week, how fast is this?
But considering that it is produced by Qun Mall, it is normal.
Zhu Biao did not attend because he was a temporary member and could only watch from the side. He was a member who could not speak or be seen.
After three times, you can become a regular member.
"Everyone, let's start the group meeting."
Zhu Yuanzhang cleared his throat, and just when he was about to formally start the discussion, Zhu Houcong shook his head: "Master Hongwu, wait a minute, there is a new member."
"Why do the newcomers arrive last every time?" Zhu Yuanzhang said dissatisfied.
Zhu Houcong smiled and said: "Because it's your first time contacting me, you won't understand much about this, so you will naturally have some concerns... Didn't you all have the same idea when you first came here?"
After hearing what Zhu Houcong said, the emperors thought for a while and found that this was indeed the case.
"This Emperor Wanli is the longest reigning emperor in the Ming Dynasty. I don't know when he came." Zhu Qiyu whispered from the side.
But just when they were about to say something, a childish voice came from not far away: "Wow... is this a fairyland? It's so fun. The life without Mr. Zhang is so beautiful!"
While jogging along, an eleven or twelve-year-old child wearing a dragon robe broke into the pavilion and was looked over by all the emperors.
In an instant, the twelve-year-old Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun felt an invisible sense of pressure and immediately became obedient. From a wild child, he became the Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He said seriously:
"I am the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who are you?"
There was a sudden change in the family. My sister had a fight with her boyfriend. She came to my place and quarreled in front of me again. I was very tired.
