Chapter 466: Unification of the world, Ming Dynasty Yongchang
"Boss, as the Crown Prince and the future Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, you must remember a major event that all dynasties have guarded against..."
"Dad, are you saying that the harem is involved in politics?"
Chen Cao glanced sideways at the Crown Prince Chen Bohao: "You are getting smarter and smarter."
The prince smiled: "Since my father suddenly asked his son to marry his uncle's daughter at the end of last year, my son has known about these powerful relationships."
"Oh?" Chen Cao was very interested: "Tell me more."
The prince said: "The Zhao family behind Crown Princess Zhong Rong has made a great leap after her father-in-law became the hereditary Duke of Chu. When my son looks through the memorials sent by the cabinet, he often sees people named Zhao who are officials or big businessmen. , this is actually not a good signal;
Secondly, the Song family behind the concubine Shun Li is related to my family, even better than the Zhao family. If the two families are allowed to leave alone, the father and son's generation may be fine, but there is no guarantee that the son's next generation will not have problems. ;
Furthermore, Zhong Rong had just given birth to a little grandson, and the Zhao family's status was even higher. "
Chen Cao nodded with satisfaction, looking at his smart son, he unconsciously thought of Lao Zhu's prince Zhu Biao, what a smart person he was.
"Your mother has been married to me for so many years, and she has never mentioned the Li family members or promotion in front of me. She doesn't know how to do it, but your mother doesn't dare. She knows your father's temper, so he only If I can educate you, your heirs and the descendants of your descendants will have to rely on us and my father to pass it on from generation to generation, so that our Emperor Chen will not be overthrown, do you understand?"
The prince said with some worry: "Dad, returning the government to the people is a good thing, but those opposition parties are the nest of the people. Once...Dad, is there really a monarch in the West that was overthrown and then implemented a republic?"
Chen Cao nodded: "No one in the royal family was spared, all young and old died..."
"So, boss, after you take the throne, the main thing you have to do is to prevent the harem from interfering in politics, and then you only need to watch the Prime Minister's Office deal with world affairs. You can only wait until the Prime Minister's Office messes up, and then intervene as the emperor. This way First, in the eyes of the people, you are a good emperor and a savior. In the political world, you can also deter those dissident young men. In short, you will get the benefits."
"Dad, can our Ming Dynasty be prosperous in everything?"
"Those who do great things can prosper, and the people are the focus..."
"What are the brothers of my son?"
"It's not bad to have a dozen hereditary princes, and they go out to various places. After you take the throne, as the elder brother, how to discipline them is your business..."
"This Ming Dynasty, I deserve it..."

In the eighth year of Shengwu, Song Che returned from conquering Japan and Yingzhou surrendered. After Toyotomi and Tokugawa discovered that they had been deceived, they had no time to resist. The two sides fought for nearly ten years. The entire Japanese country's national power had been exhausted and it was unable to cause any further damage to the Ming army. Regardless of any pressure, the reason why Yingzhou fought for three years was because Song Che wanted to eliminate the daimyo forces across Yingzhou, until the last emperor unfortunately died in the storm, and the Japanese country, a country that had been established for thousands of years, was annexed by the Ming Dynasty.

In the twelfth lunar month of the 20th year of Shengwu, Emperor Chen Cao announced his abdication, and the throne was passed to the crown prince Chen Bohao. Before his abdication, Chen Cao designated two capitals, north and south, with Beijing as the residence of the current emperor and Nanjing as the residence of the retired emperor.
In 1652 AD, the crown prince ascended the throne in Beijing and proclaimed himself emperor, changed the Yuan Dynasty to Zhenwu, and granted amnesty to the world...
In the fourth year of Zhenwu's reign, a rebellion broke out in Xizhou. King Chen Bohui of Han, who was guarding Iran, rebelled and intended to separate Iran for autonomy. Chen Cao, 67, was furious after hearing the news. He personally set out from Xinjiang and arrived in Iran via Pakistan to quell the rebellion. When King Han saw his father arriving in person, he was so frightened that he knelt down in front of Chen Cao and cried bitterly.
His mother Zhou Yufeng also appeared with her illness in order to save her son's life. Chen Cao could not bear to kill her son, so he ordered Chen Bohui to be deposed as the king of Han, and his half-brother Chen Boguang succeeded him as the king of Han, and then controlled Iran.
As for the disposal of Chen Bohui, it was left to the emperor's brother Chen Bohao to issue an edict.
In the 20th year of Zhenwu, the 85-year-old Empress Dowager Li Xiang passed away in the Forbidden City in Nanjing. The descendants who guarded various places rushed back to the Ming Dynasty to mourn. Emperor Zhenwu resigned from the throne for three months...
In the 21st year of Zhenwu's reign, a total of 6 lords guarding the three provinces of Xizhou, Yingzhou and Jiaozhou rebelled. Chen Bohao personally led the expedition, with veteran Hejian Houhuang Degong as the main general in suppressing the rebellion in Xizhou, and veteran Houlou Xingye in Huai'an as the main general in suppressing the rebellion in Yingzhou. Song Chun, Duke of Qin, was the general in charge of suppressing the rebellion in Jiaozhou.
In the twenty-fourth year of Zhenwu, the rebellion in the three provinces was lifted. Emperor Chen Bohao followed the suggestion of the Supreme Emperor Chen Cao and weakened the power of the princes guarding the three provinces, executed the rebellious brothers, and increased the number of princes guarding them appropriately so that they could restrain each other.
As the Ming Dynasty flourished, more and more scientific research technologies were created, and the research directions came from a book called Scientific and Technological Innovation written by the Supreme Emperor.
In the thirty-seventh year of Zhenwu, Emperor Chen Bohao was seriously ill. At this moment, the 103-year-old Chen Cao was teaching his grandson. After hearing the news, he immediately asked his grandson to rush back to Beijing to deal with important matters.
In the thirty-eighth year of Zhenwu, Emperor Chen Bohao passed away, and his grandson Chen Shaoli came to the throne, changing the Yuan Dynasty to Yaowu...
In the fourth year of Yaowu, a generation of genius, Emperor Shengwu, Chen Cao, died in Qingliang Palace in Yuhuatai, Nanjing. It is said that the Supreme Emperor stayed in the Pavilion of Heroes of Yuhuatai for a long time at his last moment. He was not killed until he finally returned to Qingliang Palace. Imperial concubine Li was found dead...
Chen Cao was given a posthumous title by Emperor Yaowu, "Emperor Zuwu, the Chongtian, Virtuous and Famous Saint." According to Chen Cao's request, the Chen family was not allowed to open a mausoleum, so Chen Cao was buried in Zhongshan.
After post-modernity, the Ming Dynasty, which pioneered the constitutional monarchy, has continued to survive. At the end of "The Chronicles of the Holy Ancestor", the seventh Ming emperor wrote a poem, which records:
Virtue and heavenly merit reveal saintly talents
Rushing through the sea
China's prestige turns 20
Past and present will never come again

postscript:
This book is my first completed novel and also my first contracted novel. It doesn’t matter how much money I earn. What matters is the joy I feel when writing and the beauty I feel when imagining. Xiaoqi is very grateful to those who like this novel. After all, after being with it for so long, updates become more and more delayed as time goes by;
In fact, Xiao Qi’s original intention was to pass the time out of boredom.
...
A new book has been started and is currently being written. It is called "The First Year of Tianfeng" and the protagonist's name is still: Chen Cao (the protagonist who has a soft spot for Xiao Qi, of course Xiao Qi is not named Chen).
The content is a story that travels through the last years of Xinmang. Friends who like stories from the last years of Xinmang to the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty can continue to pay attention to Xiaoqi's new book. Thank you for your support and encouragement. I am very grateful...
