Zhu Gaojie took a deep breath, clasped his hands together, and murmured eloquently: "The Supreme Lord is as urgent as a law, commanding the wind to stop!"
Xia Yuanji was a little confused: "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
"Cast a spell." Zhu Gaojie spread his hands and said, "Okay, I have invited gods to suppress the evil wind. How will the next process go? Let the local prefecture and county report the number of casualties, loss of livestock, damaged houses, etc. Wait for the detailed data, make an inspection report and submit it to the provincial chief envoy Si Yamen, who will then report it to the court. After that, things are still the same as before, relief, exemption, pension, loan, security and peace."
What can Zhu Gaojie do about the typhoon?
If it were a summer typhoon, it would be easier to deal with, but now it is a rare winter typhoon!
There was no sign of it coming to fruition, and no one had thought that a typhoon would come back in winter.
During the Battle of Baigouhe during the Battle of Jingnan, the Northern Army led by Zhu Di was in dire straits. At that time, Zhu Di was even thinking about committing suicide. Suddenly, a gust of wind arose and entangled the flag of the Confederate Army. With a sound of inspection, the handsome flag was broken. The Confederate army, which was about to capture Zhu Di alive, suddenly lost its morale, and the Confederate army was defeated in this battle.
This thing is quite weird. If you say when the wind is bad, you have to wait until the wind blows. If it blows, then it will blow. He didn't blow it anywhere, he just blew off the Confederate flag and then dispersed.
Zhu Di was like buying a lottery ticket for 20 cents, but ended up winning 200 million. This probability of success is really ridiculous.
What's even more ridiculous is that during the Battle of Jingnan, Zhu Di won the lottery three times in a row, and every time the demon wind came to help him. He was really the god of wind on earth!
Zhu Dijing took advantage of the situation during the crisis, and now he will pay it back after he ascends the throne.
There was a strong wind for no reason, let alone in the Ming Dynasty, even in modern times there is no way to stop it!
"Then I will follow the prince's advice and control the typhoon." Xia Yuanji said weakly.
The old minister also knew that this matter was too difficult for King Qi.
Zhu Gaojie looked at the vicissitudes of life on the face of the old man Xia Yuanji and felt helpless.
Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Household Affairs, was nicknamed "Xia Laoji". Even when Zhu Di wanted to take money from Xia Yuanji, the Minister did it all.
But this old minister is an out-and-out capable minister, a truly capable minister with the world in mind, not a sour scholar who was poisoned by Confucianism.
Xia Yuanji, courtesy name Wei Zhe, was born in Xiangyin, Changsha Prefecture. He came from an extremely poor family, and his father's untimely death when he was 13 years old meant that children from poor families were already in charge. Perhaps because of his childhood experiences, Xia Yuanji developed a stingy character. .
He was the key training target of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang. After Emperor Jianwen ascended the throne, he was promoted to the right minister of household affairs. However, at this time, Xia Yuanji was not an official in the court. Instead, he was sent by Emperor Jianwen to inspect the folk customs and conduct inventory in various places. Corrupt officials.
After Zhu Di captured the capital, Xia Yuanji, an old official of Jianwen, was not spared.
When he was tied up by Wuhua Da and sent to Zhu Di, he did not yell and swear like Fang Xiaoru and others, nor did he surrender directly like Xie Jin and others, but instead begged Zhu Di to give him three more days. .
He didn't want to use these three days to write a suicide note or take a last look at the beautiful world, but to use these three days to sort out the paperwork from the Household Department.
And Zhu Di also began to take a serious look at the "old man" in front of him. In the end, Xia Yuanji survived, and was entrusted with an important task by Zhu Di and was promoted to the position of Minister of Household Affairs. And Xia Yuanji also showed his ability. He came up with more than 30 suggestions on the reform of the Ministry of Household Affairs, which benefited the world and slimmed down himself.
…
[Select simulation, Zhu Houzhao’s identity as emperor. 】
Zhu Di touched his chin. The more he imitated, the more he felt something was wrong.
Zhu Youtang, Emperor Hongzhi, married one daughter-in-law throughout his life and gave birth to two sons.
Even if he only gave birth to two sons, the younger son Zhu Houwei died young. In other words, Zhu Youtang only had one prince - the eldest son, Zhu Houzhao.
If Zhu Houzhao dies prematurely again, wouldn't Zhu Youtang have no heir?
However, Zhu Di didn't take it to heart. He felt that it was unlikely that such a thing would happen, so he continued to simulate the emperor's life of "Zhu Houzhao".
This is the tenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
[After you were born, your childhood was much happier than your father’s miserable background. 】
[When you were still in your infancy, you were established as the prince and became the successor of the Ming Dynasty. You have been loved by thousands of people since you were a child. You have all the love from your father and mother, and all the eunuchs and maids want to please you and make you happy. 】
[Father has found all kinds of famous teachers for you, and you are also very smart. Although you are playful, you can easily complete the homework left by the gentlemen, and you have also learned five languages. 】
[Royal nobles are not allowed to leave the palace privately, but you have broken this rule yourself. You like to run out of the palace when you have nothing to do, and then be "caught" by the ministers. 】
[You also cultivated eight close confidants and called them brothers. They are the eight young eunuchs in the palace. They are called the "Eight Tigers". 】
When Zhu Di saw this, he couldn't help but chuckle.
This boy named Zhu Houzhao is quite interesting.
He seemed to have seen a young child looking around in the deep palace. After confirming that no one was there, he secretly climbed over the high wall and slipped out of the palace.
Zhu Di recalled that before Zhu Houzhao, among the nine emperors of the Ming Dynasty, there were wise emperors and mediocre emperors, beggar emperors and sect emperors, but there was no one as interesting as Zhu Houzhao.
However, Zhu Di is not worried about whether Zhu Houzhao will still be as naughty as he is in the future. After this kid sits on the throne, he will have an imperial look.
Cherish your youth, Zhu Houzhao.
[In the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, Emperor Hongzhi, who had worked hard all his life, came to an end. At the age of fifteen, you ascended the throne. The following year, you changed your name to Zhengde and began your career as an emperor. 】
[Just four months after taking the throne, you began to go out to play in the palace. All the officials in the court thought that you were losing your ambition by playing with things and taking away the government affairs. The officials gave Hu Yu an advice: "You are in the prime of your life and you are studying hard. But When the Confucian masters were giving lectures, they would have wandering thoughts even before they finished their lessons. After studying for a few seats, they would suddenly have thoughts of pleasure."]
[The general meaning is: As an emperor, an impure thought or a wrong move will have a great impact. Hu Yu advises you to put an end to your ambitions to enjoy the feast, to focus on the imperial court with a straight heart, and to strive for the rule of the world. 】
[You just smiled disdainfully after hearing this. How could you not know that this was because the civil servants in the court realized that the newly enthroned Emperor Zhengde was not under their control, making them urgently feel the crisis of power loss. 】
[After the Tumubao Incident, all the military officers and generals of the Ming Dynasty were killed at the hands of the Wala people. There was an imbalance in the civil and military affairs in the court. Civil servants took advantage of the opportunity to rise. In the hearts of these people, the emperor could just be a puppet. How? To govern the world, power should be given to them. 】
[Even his father, Emperor Hongzhi, was greatly influenced by civil servants and was deeply poisoned. 】
[But you don’t want to. You are Zhu Houzhao, born to be free. What you want to do is what you want to do. Why do you need guidance from others? 】
Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and then began to spit out the fragrance again.
The numb Zhu Qizhen!
This not only caused harm to one life, but also left a negative impact that lasted for more than ten lives!
Zhu Di knew very well that it was a disaster for civilian officials to be in power!
Just like the emperor is dictatorial, a wise king can achieve prosperity in one lifetime. If the emperor is a mediocre ruler but still holds great power, wouldn't it be a disaster for the country?
Speaking of which, I have to mention again the "glorious" deeds of the foreign students from Wala...
What a scourge!
[In the ninth year of Zhengde's reign, the ministers, considering their family and life, requested that the Eight Tigers be severely punished. Cabinet members Xie Qian and Liu Jian threatened to retire and return home, hoping to get you to surrender. 】
[This is the first large-scale war between you and the civil servants, a war without gunpowder. If they win, you will become a puppet from now on. The civil servants are staring at you eagerly. They don't think that you, a young emperor, can withstand such great pressure. 】
[However, they underestimated you. 】
[You happily approved the resignation of the cabinet, easily
The leader of the civil servants was removed in one fell swoop. The civil servants were dumbfounded. They really didn't expect that you were so talented. 】
[After the "Eight Tigers" defeated the ministers, they became more arrogant and domineering. 】
[The so-called Eight Tigers are the eight eunuchs who accompanied you before you ascended the throne, headed by "Liu Jin". 】
[The Eight Tigers are a force you cultivated to fight against civil servants. However, as time goes by, you realize that the Eight Tigers have begun to dominate the government and are unscrupulous. 】
[Facing your most trusted playmate, you casually executed Liu Jin Lingchi. 】
[Killing Liu Jin with a snap of a finger made everyone realize that you, the Zhengde Emperor, are not only capable of fooling around, but also have strong imperial skills. 】
[In your heart, Liu Jin is just a playmate, and missing him is not a loss. Without the eunuch Liu Jin, you are still the wanton young man. 】
Zhu Di found it more and more interesting.
Although Zhu Houzhao is absurd, he is not conceited at all in major matters, and he is resolute and decisive in dealing with things.
However, Zhu Di soon discovered Zhu Houzhao's shortcomings.
This style of conduct has put him at the forefront of the storm, and he has been in a fight to the death with the civil servants.
Zhu Di knew that by Zhu Houzhao's time, the civil servants had developed to a terrifying level. Zhu Houzhao's intention to suppress the civil servants was too obvious. Although the idea was good, the process was too violent and could easily cause backlash.
If it were Zhu Di, he would choose to cut the flesh with a blunt knife, suppressing the momentum of the civil servants bit by bit.
[Your thoughts can no longer be blocked by the high walls of the Forbidden City. You left the Forbidden City and moved into the new Leopard House in the northwest of the Imperial City. 】
[The Leopard House is a place where nobles raise tigers, leopards and other ferocious beasts for fun. Your new Leopard House was built in the second year of Zhengde. By the seventh year of Zhengde, more than 200 houses were built, consuming more than 240,000 taels of silver. In fact, the new house of Leopard House is not a place to raise leopards, nor is it a palace simply for pleasure in the general sense. It is actually the place where Emperor Wuzong lives and handles government affairs. 】
[After moving into the Leopard Room, your purpose is clear and you want to do something big! 】
