The first year of Chongzhen in Ming Dynasty!
The weather in January this year was extremely abnormal. There were gusts of wind and heavy rain for three consecutive days.
The rain seemed to show no signs of stopping. It seemed to indicate the heavy atmosphere in the Forbidden City.
It had been three months since Zhu Youjian ascended the throne after Tianqi's death, and now it was the first month of the first year of Chongzhen.
However, Zhu Youjian ignored the changes in the court and was still grieving over the death of the previous emperor.
The ministers in the court were all thinking about what the emperor meant. They did not give any clear instructions to Wei Zhongxian's faction!
The Donglin Party members expressed their dissatisfaction!
It could be said that all the officials in the capital were worried. Some were worried that they would lose their black gauze hats, and some were worried that the emperor would not do anything.
Even Empress Zhang Yan, who rarely appeared in Ciqing Palace, expressed her confusion and dissatisfaction!
She was the one who supported Zhu Youjian to become the emperor. She did not want Zhu Youjian to do nothing after becoming the emperor.
He was even more worried that Zhu Youjian would be like his brother, Emperor Tianqi, and only do carpentry work that he liked. Then she would be a sinner of the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, Zhu Youjian was dealing with his own affairs in the Palace of Heavenly Purity and rarely dealt with the government affairs handed over by the ministers.
However, no one knew that Zhu Youjian was very calm and confident. After all, he was a person with a cheat.
Although he had transmigrated from the future to the Ming Dynasty for more than half a year, he was extremely cautious in doing things and never discussed the government affairs. Everything was handled according to the thoughts of his predecessor, Zhu Youjian.
"Troubled times…"
Zhu Youjian clasped his hands behind his back and looked at the torrential rain outside the hall. He knew very well what he had to do!
The reason why he didn't do it was because he was waiting for the value points accumulated in his cheat.
His cheat wasn't as powerful as other transmigrators, but it wasn't weak either. It was a farm lord system.
He had only fully activated the golden finger after he ascended the throne, and the farm lord system had rewarded him with 3,000 points of value.
With 3,000 value points as the starting capital, he could start planting crops in the farm space to earn value points.
Zhu Youjian immediately opened his personal interface.
[Host: Zhu Youjian]
[Identity: Emperor of the Ming Empire]
[Strength: 10]
[Intelligence: 10]
[Spirit: 10]
[Value: 3000]
[Number of Farm Guards: 100]
[Individual farm space: 10 acres]
[Farm Exchange Mall: Not opened]
[Note: The limit of an ordinary person in all aspects is 10. Their IQ is on the line, and their bodies are on the line.]
Looking at his personal panel, Zhu Youjian was satisfied. After all, he had trained for half a year and his body had reached the limit of an ordinary person. He was considered to be in good health.
Not taking action now did not mean that Zhu Youjian had no plans.
The current Darming Dynasty had long become a broken ship and was already on the verge of collapse from the previous few generations. It could be said to be troubled internally and invaded externally.
Zhu Youjian felt that it was better to maintain the status quo before he had absolute strength to crush them.
Although Wei Zhongxian's eunuchs were not of good character, they worked hard against the Donglin Party!
In Zhu Youjian's eyes, the eunuch party and the Donglin Party were not good people. They were all digging up the roots of the towering tree of Ming Dynasty.
He would first let them fight each other and wait for him to accumulate his strength before making his move.
In the future, he was just a wage earner, a very ordinary person. He was not born into a wealthy family, nor was he from a family of officials. He was cautious and did not feel ashamed.
What he needed the most now was to learn. Only by watching and not saying anything could the officials see his true thoughts and not be played to death by these officials.
He did not want to be Emperor Tianqi, nor did he want to be an arrogant Emperor!
He had nothing to be unhappy about since he was the emperor in the beginning.
If he couldn't do well as an emperor, then it was a problem of ability.
However, he was not unprepared. At least the guards of the Palace of Heavenly Purity had been changed. They were guards that he had exchanged for at a high price from the farm lord system.
They were all absolute elites, and their individual strength could at least beat Slave Jian. They could even defeat Slave Jian in a one-on-three battle.
According to Zhu Youjian's comparison of the physical fitness of the level one guards he exchanged for, they were equivalent to the special forces in the future.
Liaodong's Jian Nu soldiers were of very high quality, and against the most elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, their combat power was one to five.
If they were to deal with the Imperial Guards in the Great Ming Capital, their fighting strength would probably be even higher.
The troops defending the capital were already rotten and could not be considered to be of any combat strength. Under such circumstances, Zhu Youjian did not have the courage to reform.
He believed in the motto of life, that political power came from the barrel of a gun!
Without a spear, with his current strength and ability, he would not be able to play with those old foxes in the court.
Just as Zhu Youjian was deep in thought, Wang Chengen suddenly whispered,""Your Majesty, Empress Yi 'an requests an audience!"
"I'm just too impatient, my sister-in-law…" Zhu Youjian smiled bitterly.
Wang Chengen would not really think that the current emperor was a mediocre master who did nothing!
Because he had already started to reorganize the imperial estate according to the emperor's secret order.
According to Zhu Youjian's plan, high-yield rice that was resistant to cold and drought was being planted in large numbers.
What was even more shocking was that the emperor had obtained high-yield rice from god knows where, which could be harvested once every three months, with a yield of up to 1,000 kilograms per mu.
Only Zhu Youjian knew that the reason he didn't touch the officials appointed by the previous emperor was because he used all the space in the system to grow high-yield rice.
The rice he obtained was planted in the imperial manor as seeds, and now it has blossomed and bore fruit.
However, Wang Chengen was still counting, so he had not reported it to the emperor.
"Big companion, invite Imperial Sister-in-law in!"
"Yes!"
A little! Empress Zhang Yan of Yi 'an walked in and was about to greet the emperor when Zhu Youjian waved his hand and smiled bitterly.""Imperial Sister-in-law, zhen has already said that there is no need for formalities!”
Empress Zhang Yan smiled when she saw Zhu Youjian's attitude.
In terms of personal morality, Empress Zhang Yan had no dissatisfaction with Zhu Youjian.
The only thing that made Empress Yi 'an uneasy was Zhu Youjian's attitude towards the court. It seemed that he had no intention of reorganizing. She was really worried for this emperor.
"Your Majesty, I know you are filial, but I have to ask about the affairs of the country. The former emperor chose you because he wanted you to complete his unfinished wish.”
Zhu Youjian said confidently," Imperial Sister-in-law, I am already doing it. You don't understand, the late Emperor doesn't understand, and even Imperial Grandfather doesn't understand.
However, I understand very well. It is precisely because I understand that I have not taken action. It is not that I do not want to, but that I have not set up a good plan.”
"Really? You didn't lie to Royal Sister-in-law…"
Empress Yi 'an looked at Zhu Youjian in surprise. Seeing Zhu Youjian's solemn expression, her hanging heart finally relaxed.
In the past, this younger brother of hers was quite talkative, and when she talked about state affairs, she would even be indignant in front of her.
However, half a year ago, this young emperor brother in front of him had changed. He had become cautious, not talkative, and silent.
"The Great Ming Dynasty has reached a desperate situation where it has to be changed. Only by breaking the cube can the Great Ming Dynasty be revived.”
Upon hearing Zhu Youjian's words, Empress Yi 'an was stunned and said in horror,""Your Majesty is…"
Zhu Youjian smiled." It's exactly what Imperial Sister-in-law thinks. Without absolute power, I won't act rashly."”
After saying that, Zhu Youjian added," Imperial Sister-in-law, don't worry. I never fight a battle that I'm not confident in. When I make a move, it will be the time for the Ming Dynasty to revive."”
In fact, Empress Zhang Yan knew about Zhu Youjian's actions. The Palace of Heavenly Purity had changed guards, and they were all true elites.
It was obvious that Zhu Youjian was not lying to her. He was really preparing.
As the empress of the harem and the former emperor's empress, she could not come out and interfere in internal affairs as a last resort.
After sending Empress Yi 'an away, Zhu Youjian revealed a cold smile on his face. It was obviously the result of the Donglin Party's secret efforts.
Otherwise, with Empress Yi 'an's personality, she would not take the risk to say such words to him. This was a disguised form of forcing the abdication.
The Donglin Party's primary political enemy was the eunuch Wei Zhongxian's faction. If they did not expel the eunuch faction from the court, how could they let the matter rest?
Unfortunately, the Donglin Party thought too much. The current emperor was no longer the Zhu Youjian of his predecessor, who had a chuunibyou disease. How could he not know what kind of group the Donglin Party was?
Although the Dong Lin Party advocated a very good idea, there were a few people within the Dong Lin Party who really did it. It was nothing more than the word 'benefit'.
