Li Shishi and Xu Shidao will also interest Zhu Houzhao. After all, Li Shishi was an official in the court during the early years of Zhengde, and he was also the censor responsible for inspecting hundreds of officials. Many contemporary people have also praised him. He is really My eyes were opened.
From this we know that the so-called Qingliu literati really cannot be trusted.
As for Liu Yangzheng and others behind him, the emperor had completely lost interest and came to Zhu Chenhao instead.
Although he is a member of the royal family, being imprisoned in prison will inevitably lead to humiliation. At this time, there is no trace of royal temperament in his rags.
"Let go of his mouth."
"yes."
The door of this cell was also opened, and Zhu Chenhao was held by two people on his arms.
His eyes shot towards Zhu Houzhao with deep malice.
"You won't die before you go to the capital. I have reported it to the Queen Mother. She said that if she wants to ask you personally, let's see how you grew up with such a wolf-like heart and dog-like lungs. Of course, it also includes your descendants of Ning Fan. Your Majesty."
As mentioned above, there were many branches of princes in the Ming Dynasty.
For example, this incident also involves Yichun King Zhu Gongqiu from the Ningchunan King Jian lineage, Ruichang King Zhu Gongtuan from the Ninghui King lineage, Le'an King Zhu Chenniang and Yiyang King Zhu Chenrui, as well as Ningjing King's lineage Jian'an King Zhu Jinjun.
Not to mention the readers of later generations, even Zhu Houzhao himself can't tell the difference between this king and that king when he looks at the list now. Sometimes he has no way to sort out his kinship relationship.
Among them, some princes followed Prince Ning in revolt, and some did not.
Zhu Houzhao's method was also very rough. Those who participated were executed together, and those who did not participate were all demoted to common people.
All in all, there is no need for anyone to take care of Ning Fan's affairs in the future, because there is no longer a lineage of Ning Wang.
What Zhu Chenhao cares about is not how many lives he has killed. What grieves in his heart is still his own failure.
"What do you want to say?" Zhu Hou looked after him and it seemed that he was holding back enough.
"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, kill him if you want!"
"Don't worry, you won't survive. When King Anhua rebelled, I thought it was ridiculous. Do you really think that you can govern the world well after becoming the emperor?"
"Why not?"
Zhu Houzhao shook his head and smiled, "Don't ask Li Shishi, a scholar with no bottom line, to give you advice. Just tell yourself what you should do if you govern the country and the people suffer disasters?"
"Of course it's disaster relief."
"Is there not enough money or food?"
"The Ming Dynasty was rich all over the world, how could it not have enough money and food?!"
"Officials are working hard to prevent disaster relief food from being intercepted by people like you?"
"Of course we must follow the rules."
"What if someone rebels like you?"
"I will raise a large army to attack him!"
"In that case, it is absolutely right for me to send a large army to attack you."
Everyone else in the prison couldn't help but chuckle.
Zhu Chenhao knew he had been deceived and blushed, "The world says Emperor Zhengde is fair and kind, but he doesn't want to be cunning and cunning!"
"Okay, stop trying to show off your words." Zhu Houzhao said with disdain, "When I heard you say that money and food are not enough, I knew that you had no idea. It seemed that what you said was clear and logical, but in fact, among the people and You don't have the slightest understanding of the common people. You just want to sit on the dragon throne and satisfy your own selfish desires. If the country is really so easy to govern, all of them will be famous kings through the ages, and there will be no such thing as changing dynasties. Judging from this, how can the world be left in the hands of people like you? Even if Emperor Taizu was alive, he would say that you are ignorant and have no skills, and it is difficult to hold a big position!"
Zhu Chenhao was still dissatisfied, "What about you? You can afford to take on this thousand-mile country?!"
"Presumptuous!" You Zhi followed up with the lesson, "The emperor's civil and military skills are as good as those of Taizu and Taizong. Are you turning a blind eye or are you just ignorant?! Of course the emperor can shoulder the responsibility of the country!"
"No, no, I'm not in a hurry. Why are you in a hurry?"
You Zhi's arrogance suddenly diminished, "This servant talks too much, the emperor taught you a lesson."
In front of everyone, Zhu Houzhao said seriously: "Do you know how I am different from you? You are ambitious and think it is easy to be a better emperor than me. But I am trembling, walking on thin ice, for fear of making a mistake. I have failed the late emperor's trust. Whether I can bear the burden of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers...I can't answer you. In the future, the world will have its own judgment."
Having said this, Zhu Houzhao turned around and went out.
These people are nothing more than that,
King Ning's rebellion was nothing more than that.
As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, this victory is probably not a great achievement.
Zhu Houzhao felt lonely and even bored. Forget it, it was time to leave.
"Where's Jing Shaokui?"
Now outside the prison.
"I'm here."
"These prefectures in Jiangnan are all under your control. Counter-cases always take some time to deal with. All the people involved will be arrested and executed according to the law. No one can be tolerated. At the same time, the matter of clearing the land in Jiangnan should not be delayed any longer. According to the Every three months, you should prepare the measured fish scale atlas as soon as possible and send it to the capital, I want to see it."
"yes."
"Remember, no delay is allowed. No matter what the reason, I have to see the results. I have done my job, so there shouldn't be any more difficulties, right?"
Jing Shaokui said more conservatively, "The terrain south of the Yangtze River is vast, I need some time."
Zhu Houzhao rolled his eyelids and said, "You can take care of this yourself. I'll make it clear to you here. If someone makes trouble or makes any other mistakes during the process, neither I nor Mr. Zhang Ge will care about it. You can do it yourself." Find a way to solve it. You are also the governor of Yingtian. You are not a small official. Don't you have your own means? Anyway, I want progress from you. If not, I will cause trouble for you. "
Jing Shaokui immediately felt a lot of pressure and his heart was raised. The emperor's words also meant that he was not doing much, so he did not dare to be verbose and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will do my best to serve you, and I will never let you down." Entrusted!"
Not that I blame him.
But in the whole thing, we really can't see how big a role he played. If we can't do it well at this level, of course we have to deal with him.
It can be regarded as a shameful thing to say in front of him to put more pressure on him.
After meeting Zhu Chenhao, the rebellion was finally concluded.
To say that the weather was really dramatic, snowflakes began to float in the sky, seeming to cover the entire world.
"Zhang Yong."
"My slave is here."
"Please make arrangements. In two days, the army will set off, starting from Nanjing and passing through Zhenjiang and Changzhou to Suzhou. The name of the prefect of Suzhou is..."
Jing Shaokui replied, "My surname is Min and my given name is Yiqin."
"Is he Min Gui's grandson?"
"Exactly."
"Okay, let's settle down in Suzhou. I think it's time for Yan Song and Wu Wending to come back from Japan. I won't go to Zhejiang. A trip will always disturb the place. Let Ping Haibo and the governor of Zhejiang come to Suzhou to meet them. , then take a boat in Suzhou and return north along the canal."
The extra time can be used to prepare the ship.
"yes."
This thing has been going on for so long that it makes his head hurt, and he doesn't want to watch all kinds of killing scenes here.
"During this period, the five people who were captured in the crime, Zhang Cong, Zhang Zilin, Jing Shaokui, plus Cheng Guogong and Wei Ningbo, were tried together. I am here. If you have any questions, I will report them as soon as possible. After I have dealt with them, I will Forget it, it’s just a worry. Oh, the army is passing through, don’t invade the place, just promote the military power.”
The emperor gave several instructions in succession, and the ministers on the side took orders one after another.
After the arrangements were completed, Zhu Houzhao returned to the Nanjing Palace by himself.
It was snowing, and Wang Zhi prepared a plush cloak for him to put on him. The palace after the snow had a spectacular beauty. Zhu Houzhao rarely saw the Nanjing Imperial Palace dyed white.
"Your Majesty, it's cold outside, do you want to go in?"
"Let's take another look. We'll set off tomorrow."
Wang Zhi added: "If you like it, it doesn't matter if you stay a few more days."
"No." Zhu Houzhao breathed out a big puff of mist from his mouth, "You have to hurry up, Wang Shouren should be coming to the capital soon. And there is a big exam in the spring of the twelfth year of Zhengde, so there is no need to delay it."
When the country has reached this stage, its major internal and external troubles are basically gone.
Of course, things like cleaning up the world's fields still require several years of embroidery work to do carefully, but that is a matter for officials, and he, the emperor, is fine.
By the way, the appointment of chieftain was decided at the beginning of the eleventh year of Zhengde. Because the central dynasty was powerful, basically no one dared to disobey the emperor's will. According to the new rules, the successor of the chieftain needed to accept the imperial edict and go to Beijing. Visit the emperor.
This is also one of the reasons why he wants to return to Beijing as soon as possible.
In addition, the vassal kings kept causing trouble, and Zhu Houzhao felt that it was time to move some princes elsewhere and stop causing trouble to him in the Central Plains.
There are too many princes in Huguang, and this problem needs to be solved.
Nowadays, it is inappropriate to directly seal the country to Japan, but many princes can be moved there in Xinjiang, Northeast China, and Taiwan.
One day in the future, these princes will rise up to cause trouble again. They are also of our Han origin, and if something happens to the central government, they can still establish various "Xiao Ming Dynasties".
Of course, the most critical thing is to resolve these vassal issues in the hinterland of the Central Plains.
The three problems of guarding farmland, preferential exemptions for officials and gentry, and vassal farmland have been eliminated.
As for the last sect, Zhuangtian, he had to figure it out slowly. It was impossible to arrest everyone named Zhu and cut them off together.
Even if he does this, Zhu Houzhao will become the role of Zhu Yuanzhang. A hundred years later, won't he still have a lot of descendants?
Um.
Zhu Houzhao set a goal for the next few years in the snow, which was to gradually move these princes away from the Central Plains in a planned and purposeful manner, and at the same time learn the Qing Dynasty's system of downgrading and nobility.
In fact, the Ming Dynasty also had this, but it was not thorough enough. The iron hat kings of the Qing Dynasty were very precious, but this was not the case in the Ming Dynasty.
In addition, it is more sensitive on whether to give power or not.
This needs to be considered again, as his sons are almost growing up, and there are many things that can be done from these little ones.
"What is the emperor thinking?"
Zhu Houzhao looked into the distance and said, "I'm thinking about the Ming Dynasty ten years from now."
