Hearing what everyone said, Zhu Houzhao also became serious, with a deep look in his eyes: "It seems that something has indeed happened to me."
Yingzhou's great victory was a record he was proud of.
He had been studying the art of war before. Although his theoretical level was very high, his godsons were no match for him. The military generals in the court talked about military affairs and deduced military formations on paper. He often won, and only a few times they were evenly matched.
But Zhu Houzhao always murmured in his heart that when the Tatars invaded, Zhu Houzhao went to the front line to command in person. Many ministers felt that this young emperor was too naughty. How could he, who had never been on the battlefield, be able to command military affairs?
Zhu Houzhao was very thoughtful and even personally led several cavalry to the front line to inspect, just to win the victory and tell the world that even if Zhu Houzhao was not an emperor, he was still a general.
However, history told him that his tactics were very successful. The Tatars did not dare to invade the border for twenty years and won a hearty victory for the Ming Dynasty.
However, the history books record that there were more than 20 large and small battles, with a total of more than 60 casualties? !
This is erasing one's own merits, and deliberately making one's behavior ridiculous and clowning!
Do you really think I am Emperor Hui of Jin who doesn’t eat minced meat? !
Suddenly, Zhu Houzhao's anger arose in his heart. He immediately stood up and faced his cousin Zhu Houzhao, who now seemed to be about the same age as himself. He immediately held up his hands and asked for advice: "Brother, please tell me, in the twelfth year of Zhengde What happened after that, and how did I fall into the water?"
Zhu Houzhao's attitude was very sincere and humble. He didn't seem to care that Zhu Houcong inherited his throne, and he didn't have the emperor's sense of pretending to understand.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Qiyu sighed greatly.
Brothers are all emperors. Our Ming Dynasty has Zhengde and Jiajing, as well as Tianqi and Chongzhen.
The relationship between their brothers is like this. Even if they are not familiar with each other, they are still polite and there is no complicated relationship between them.
well.
Why is there such a big gap between brother and brother?
Maybe it's because he didn't kill Zhu Qizhen back then. After all, none of the other brother emperors became emperors at the same time.
If he had known that Wala would have found an opportunity to poison Zhu Qizhen after he sent him back, nothing would have happened later.
Zhu Qiyu sighed slightly.
After Zhu Houcong heard Zhu Houzhao's words, he thought about it and immediately told all the deeds of Zhengde twelve years later.
In fact, there were no important events. Only Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning in the 14th year of Zhengde, killed the governor Sun Sui and Jiangxi deputy envoy Xu Kui on June 14th, and raised troops to rebel.
Zhu Houzhao once again showed his fun-loving characteristics. Wang Yangming, who was the governor of Tinggan and Gandu and the censor of Qiandu at the time, heard about the rebellion and raised his troops to quell the rebellion. He gathered soldiers from all over the country, conquered Nanchang, defeated King Ning's army, and put down the rebellion.
King Ning's rebellion came to an end in only 43 days.
Zhu Houzhao, who claimed to be the "mighty general who conquered heaven and conquered the country", led more than 10,000 officers and soldiers to the south to conquer personally on August 22.
When he arrived in Zhuozhou, news of Wang Shouren's victory came, but Zhu Houzhao still insisted on marching south. His friend Xi Xing even suggested that Zhu Chenhao be put back into Poyang Lake and be captured alive to show the emperor's prestige.
In order to extend the credit for suppressing the rebellion to Zhu Houzhao and his ministers, in the eighth month of the fifteenth year of Zhengde, Wang Yangming had no choice but to take the captured Zhu Chenhao to Nanjing and present it to Zhu Houzhao, which was called "prior sacrifice".
Zhu Houzhao and his attendants dressed in military uniforms, pretended to be in a fighting position, removed Zhu Chenhao's shackles, and released him into the army's encirclement. Then he captured him with drums and gold, put him in shackles again, and ranked him in front of the team. , returned in triumph.
Although the rebellion of King Ning was put down, Zhu Houzhao planned to visit the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, so on the way back, he visited Zhenjiang, climbed Jinshan Mountain, and crossed the Yangtze River from Guazhou.
In August, while passing by Qingjiangpu, Zhu Houzhao saw the beautiful scenery on the water and the fish swimming on the shallow bottom. He became interested in being a fisherman and drove his own boat to fish.
As a result, when he saw a lot of fish when lifting the net, Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed and tried his best to pull the boat, which made the boat lose its balance and he himself fell into the water.
Zhu Houzhao didn't know how to swim. After entering the water, he was in a hurry and flopped around. Although his attendants rescued him, the water choked his lungs. Coupled with fear and panic, his health deteriorated. It is also possible that he was frightened and caught a cold in autumn, which caused pneumonia.
Shortly after returning to Beijing, he died in Baofang.
After hearing his results, Zhu Houzhao fell into deep thought for a moment and began to figure out the meaning of his future self.
Zhu Yuanzhang on the side couldn't help but asked: "You kid, if you catch Prince Ning, just arrest Prince Ning. Why do you have to do it again? Could it be that your Yan Fan lineage deliberately bullies Ning Fan?"
Zhu Di looked a little embarrassed on the side.
Regarding Ning Wang's family, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but speak.
When Zhu Di was in trouble, he once held hands with King Ning and promised that after our brothers conquered the world, we would be rich and powerful together. We deceived the three Duoyan guards and a large number of troops from King Ning, and only then did we have the capital to help Zhu Di.
Otherwise, even if Li Jinglong lets go, Zhu Di's capital will still be slightly insufficient.
Later, the unlucky Prince Ning was not allowed to share the country, but was kicked to Jiangxi by Zhu Di, who took away all his military power.
After arriving in Jiangxi, King Ning felt that his future was hopeless and began to amuse himself. He wrote eight volumes of the Taoist treatise "The Emperor's Zhidao Taiqing Jade Book" and became the first Taoist priest in the Ming Dynasty clan, and his achievements were not low. .
At least he is at a level where he can discuss Taoism with Zhu Houcong.
Originally, King Ning's lineage was a bit unlucky. The rebellion of King Ning's descendants was just like the rebellion of Liu Bi, King of Wu in the Han Dynasty. It had reasons and historical origins.
But after the rebellion, he still humiliated others like this.
As Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't stand it anymore.
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he seemed to know why he did what he did. He calmly explained to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Emperor Taizu, the reason why I did this is entirely to patrol the south of the Yangtze River."
"If Prince Ning is put down, I will have no excuse to go south and see the various scenes in Jiangnan with my own eyes. When a murder occurred in Qiantang, the deceased was fatally stabbed five times, but the Qiantang County magistrate concluded that the man committed suicide! Jiangnan This generation is already rich, but they are so arrogant that they have reported it to me. Emperor Taizu, do you want me to go and find out what is going on?"
Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath and then said: "I fell into the water on my way back. Maybe I found out some hidden secrets in Jiangnan? No... that's not right. If I found out, I would act on the spot. In my style, That won’t be the case.”
Hearing what Zhu Houzhao said, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with slight approval.
Zhu Houcong on the side also said: "I also sent people to investigate about the emperor's brother falling into the water... Although those civil servants are hateful, but the emperor's brother used various means to attack them when he was in power. They still have no ability to do anything. The plot to murder the Emperor's brother is probably really the result of the Emperor's own playing with water."
"But I don't know if there is anything wrong with the imperial doctor."
In Zhu Houcong's view, Zhu Houzhao's falling into the water was very consistent with his usual style. He probably fell into the water accidentally, and there should be no big secrets in it.
The civil servants of the Zhengde Dynasty did not cover the sky with one hand. They could only secretly dig into the dark and change historical materials after the death of Emperor Zhengde.
After all, during the reign of Emperor Zhengde, although it seemed absurd, he suppressed the civil servants at every turn, which made them extremely uncomfortable.
It happened that Zhu Houzhao accidentally fell into the water and contracted pneumonia.
There are some doubts about the fall of another emperor into the water.
Although he also fell into the water, Emperor Tianqi did not contract any pneumonia when he fell into the water. Wei Zhongxian was so nervous that he even tested the medicine himself.
But just like that, Huo Weihua offered a kind of "elixir" called "Linglu Drink" every day. Its taste was sweet and delicious, which made Zhu Youxiao addicted to the extreme, and he died a year after falling into the water.
Weird, weird.
However, Zhu Houcong has nothing to say about this period of history now.
After all, there is no witness, so we can only wait until Zhu Youxiao joins the group.
What? You can find out from Zhu Youjian.
Come on, Zhu Youjian is just stupid. He was deceived by ministers in the early days of his succession. Maybe he really thought that his brother died normally.
But after hearing Zhu Houcong's words, Zhu Houzhao's face looked particularly ugly.
"Thank you, my dear brother. After my brother returned, he dug a pond in Beijing and hired diving specialists and master swimmers from Jiangnan and Guangdong to teach me how to swim. Even if some of my officials want to use this to plot against me, I will be fine." Be on guard." Zhu Houzhao said coldly.
OK.
Zhu Houcong had nothing to say.
really.
When Zhu Houzhao learned to swim, he would never be drowned in the 16th year of Zhengde... unless it was really a civil official who asked the eunuch to hold Zhu Houzhao down and prevent him from getting on the boat.
But this is not realistic. After all, Zhu Houzhao immediately purged the eunuch group around him. The ones who were known as the Eight Tigers at the time were the Jin Yiwei and the eunuchs.
Liu Jin, eunuch Bingbi, chief ceremonial supervisor, Zhang Yong, chief shenjiying, Admiral Gu Dayong of Xichang, Ma Yongcheng, admiral Dongchang, Qiu Ju and Luo Xiang, admiral Dongchang, Wei Bin, chief sanqianying, and Gao Feng, chief ceremonial supervisor .
Under this kind of blessing, the surroundings are basically impregnable.
The little eunuch who travels is naturally the confidant of his confidant. Civil servants always look down on eunuchs, so naturally this eunuch should not be bribed...especially the eunuch who is valued by Zhu Houzhao.
But just when Zhu Houcong and Zhu Houzhao were getting along, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke again: "Huzhao, it's not like you are in troubled times, why do you accept so many adopted sons? We accepted adopted sons in order to rely on these adopted sons to fight. World, besides, we only collected a few dozen, why did you collect more than a hundred?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was very puzzled.
The number of adopted sons that Zhu Houzhao adopted can be said to be so large that it is unheard of in ancient times.
However, among military generals, it is the most common situation to adopt adopted sons.
"Emperor Taizu, the country I took over was taken over from my father." Zhu Houzhao said with great interest.
This is quite novel.
Whose empire was not inherited from the father?
Zhu Di raised his head very proudly, pretending that he was the legitimate successor.
And soon, he looked around and instantly realized that it was boring.
Well, not really.
Why?
Because Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Qiyu, Zhu Houcong, and Zhu Youjian did not inherit the throne from their fathers, including themselves.
Neither did Zhu Yuanzhang, he did it himself.
Only Zhu Yijun can be regarded as a serious person who took over the throne from his father.
It was a bit embarrassing now, so Zhu Di continued to pretend not to know anything and listened from the sidelines.
Zhu Qiyu was also a little confused: "So... what does this have to do with inheriting the throne from your father?"
But Zhu Houcong was as clear as a mirror, and Zhu Yuanzhang also had some guesses.
As for Zhu Yijun and Zhu Youjian... Zhu Youjian is playing games with his grandfather, so just ignore them.
"well."
Zhu Houzhao sighed quietly, and then said: "My father is the Hongzhi Emperor. My father is too generous to the civil servants. He will respond to all the suggestions of the civil servants and adopt most policies, so that the court , are all civil servant groups, making the emperor like a clay statue."
"If I want to regain the dignity of the emperor, I can only take action from the military attache side and accept adopted sons. Naturally, it is to suppress the civil servants." Zhu Houzhao sighed.
During the reign of Emperor Hongzhi, although he was light on corvee and low on taxes, and was known as the "Hongzhi Zhongxing", he was manipulated by civil servants, and soil annexation began to seriously intensify. Fifteen years after Hongzhi, he also started to hold fasting festivals.
Zhaijiao is a Taoist ritual.
Later, she rewarded her relatives unscrupulously, and she could be said to be extremely doting on Queen Zhang's two younger brothers. The two younger brothers could be said to be extremely arrogant.
It's just that these two brothers of Queen Zhang were killed by Emperor Jiajing during the Jiajing Dynasty.
After all, they are not Zhu Houcong's uncles, so what do they have to do with me? Jumping like this is enough to get you to death.
During the Ming Dynasty, there were eight million hectares of fertile land, but only four million hectares of tax could be collected. The output of agricultural products declined. The output of the previous dynasty was 36 million shi, but by the Ming Xiaozong period, there were only 27 million shi left. stone.
During the Chenghua period, the finances were 28 million taels of silver, but during the Hongzhi period, it dropped to 16 million taels.
Ming Xiaozong, Ming Xiaozong.
This word filial piety, who is being filial to?
I'm afraid it's just the 'Confucian code of conduct' in the eyes of scholar-bureaucrats and scholars. Zhu Youtang's benevolence and filial piety are just the Confucian code of conduct that he followed.
And Zhu Houzhao's absurdity is just that he did not follow the Confucian code of conduct, so he was smeared.
Zhu Houzhao was scolded for repairing the Leopard Room. You must know that compared with his father Zhu Youtang, Encore is really a drop in the bucket and is not a heavyweight at all.
After hearing what Zhu Houzhao said, Zhu Yuanzhang also sighed deeply.
He couldn't have imagined it.
Even though he had deposed the prime minister, the power of the civil servants was still so great.
The nobles cannot resist, and the military attaches cannot resist.
no way.
Since the emergence of the imperial examination system, civil servants have reached the pinnacle of their level.
With the triennial imperial examination system, countless scholars will enter the officialdom.
And what about nobles and generals?
How could the officials who passed the triennial martial arts examination have the same opportunity to show off their skills as civilian officials?
After all, every war has to go through careful calculations by the court. Only Zhu Yuanzhang, who founded the country, and Zhu Di, who was in trouble, produced military exploits on a large scale and gave birth to nobles.
And there are winners and losers in wars.
Winning is easy, but losing will have to be fought to the end, even to the point of death.
"There must be something wrong with the civil servants, but brother Huang doesn't have to worry now."
Zhu Houcong said with a smile: "Now that my destiny is in my Ming Dynasty, no matter how powerful these civil servants are, is it possible that they can withstand the might of Huang Huang?"
Since getting the chat group, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty can communicate with each other and even fight in other planes. In fact, there is no need to worry about civil servants trying to control and exclude the emperor.
Is there someone who can't solve the problem by rebelling? It's okay, shake people.
Military generals have no room for advancement and no battles to fight? It doesn't matter, the national war begins!
All disputes actually have a core point.
That is the uneven distribution of benefits.
The cake is so big, and everyone always has to fight for power over this cake.
The emergence of national war can easily solve this problem.
As long as it is defeated, there will be a new world where everyone can ask for anything. The cake will become bigger, and naturally the people who eat the cake will be happy, and they will not even be able to eat such a big cake.
And when the cake becomes saturated again, a new market will open.
Moreover, there is still a lot of 'cream' hidden on the packaging box on the original surface, which has not been discovered.
Now that you have joined the chat group and have the group meeting function, everyone's technological level will also advance by leaps and bounds. Naturally, there will be faster ways to deal with the 'cream' that cannot be eaten in the original plane.
The great Ming of the heavens is rising rapidly.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Houzhao nodded heavily, and then laughed loudly and said, "Thank you all ancestors, the emperor's younger brother, and the two younger generations over there."
"But what I want to do now is not to eradicate the civil servants and find out who is behind it. After all, the battle of Yingzhou is imminent. Although I have learned about the victory of Yingzhou in advance, I have to do this this time. Be better and stronger!"
After saying that, Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows and looked around with a stern look, quite like the Taizu.
Zhu Yuanzhang on the side was very impressed and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, he is indeed our descendant!"
Zhu Di on the side was submissive and did not dare to speak.
When it was Zhu Qizhen's turn, he scolded me, "Zhu Di, this is your descendant." When it was the other emperor's turn, he said, "Okay, okay, he is indeed our descendant."
Dad, you figured it all out.
Zhu Di had nothing to say about such behavior.
In other words, he didn't have the guts to say this to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even need to take action. Zhu Yuanzhang let Xu Da pass, and Zhu Di had to accept the punishment obediently.
"My ancestors, the emperor's younger brother, and the two younger generations, do you have any strategies to teach me? In other words, can you point out some capable ministers and generals in the army for me?" Zhu Houzhao said.
Zhu Di looked around, and immediately saw Zhu Youjian who was playing a boring finger game with the naughty boy Zhu Yijun, and immediately opened his mouth and said: "Zhu Youjian, you are free, go and tell Hou Zhao."
Zhu Di's voice had a feeling that could not be rejected. After Zhu Youjian heard the words, he immediately stood up and took the initiative to greet Zhu Houzhao, preparing to bring Zhu Houzhao to the Ming Dynasty during the Zhengde Dynasty, the famous ministers in the early Jiajing period, and the two people some time ago. All the policies were told to Zhu Houzhao.
After Zhu Houzhao went to listen carefully, Zhu Houcong, Zhu Di, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Qiyu and others looked at each other.
"Speaking of which, what are you going to do next?"
Zhu Yunwen, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but said: "I went to my father's house a few days ago to handle government affairs for him. I am here on behalf of my father's Taiping Dynasty. At the next meeting, I hope that your Majesty can have a good deal with our Dynasty. Ichiban…”
Zhu Yunwen really wants to be the emperor now. After all, after joining this group, his originally silent emperor's heart has been rekindled.
But... there is no place.
Every carrot has a pit, and we can only wait for a new pit.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhu Houcong with ardent eyes.
Among those present, only Zhu Houcong had the opportunity to provide one more job.
Faced with this situation, Zhu Houcong did not hesitate and ignored Zhu Yunwen's gaze.
Zhu Yunwen wanted to be the emperor, so he asked Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao to help him conquer the country. They conquered the country, so why should Zhu Yunwen become the emperor?
This is an entire plane. The previous Zhu Qizhen plane was bought by Zhu Yuanzhang with money, and this plane was conquered by the soldiers of the Jiajing Dynasty, so naturally it will not be sold to others.
After all, this is the first trophy!
Although it hasn't been beaten yet.
Seeing that Zhu Houcong had no such intention, everyone ignored the idea. Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth and said: "The next group meeting will be about the ranking of the new group. What do you think?"
Hear this.
Everyone showed some subtle expressions.
a kind……
Feeling confident.
It seems that every group member is swearing by the rewards of the second group ranking.
It seemed like it was easy to win the top spot.

PS: I see that many readers are worried that I will be reported.
Don't worry, I'm afraid of them? What a joke, the Qing Dynasty has been dead for so many years, but you can’t even write it, right? I'm just going to see if the Eight Banners Yi Lao can solve my book. If they can, they are awesome. I can just change it and write it. If I have the ability, I can keep it sealed.
Also, several readers said that 'it's like this' appears a little too frequently. I checked...it seems that it is indeed like this, and it appears a little too frequently.
I'm used to it, and I don't know why. I like to type these four words when dividing paragraphs. I will check them after I finish writing a chapter, and if there are any, I will change these four words.
