......
As the saying went.
He trained his body to look like a crane.
A thousand pine trees and two sutras!
I come to ask, there is nothing to say;
Clouds in the blue sky, water in the bottle!
This Zen poem seemed to be just Jiajing's pursuit of Taoism.
But in reality.
It was not just the Dao techniques.
Country governance, life, the world, and so on.
Jiajing's attitude towards all things was hidden in this Zen poem.
The Jiajing Dynasty's national strength display is about to begin

"I wonder what kind of dynasty this Jiajing Dynasty was.”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the sky and his eyes narrowed.
In fact, from the hints given to them by Chongzhen and Zhu Houzhao.
The Jiajing Dynasty should not be considered a good dynasty.
And Jiajing this person looks like.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, he did not seem like a wise ruler.
The scene in the sky slowly began to appear.
In the first year of Jiajing, due to the early death of his brother Zhu Houzhao, there was no heir to the throne. According to the principle of 'brother dies sister', you successfully ascended the throne. However, as soon as you ascended the throne, you faced the first problem. Who was the emperor (in the sense of the patriarch)?
You were unwilling to change your biological father, so you initiated the debate on the Great Ceremony. In July of the same year, when you were besieged by many civil officials, Zhang Cong, a scholar, requested you to "inherit the throne but not the heir". You were immediately overjoyed. With this as a basis, you fought against public opinion and in October, your father, King Xingxian, was honored as Emperor Xingxian.
This matter even lasted until the 17th year of Jiajing. Later, in order to raise his father's memorial tablet to the Imperial Ancestral Temple, you posthumously conferred the title of Emperor Taizong Zhu Di as Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty and removed the memorial tablet of Emperor Renzong Zhu Gaochi. Only then did a new vacancy appear.
In the second year of Jiajing, you began to clarify the maladministration, put Xie Qian, Zhang Cong and other talents in important positions, and began a new policy.
？
Jiajing slowly typed out a question mark.
In fact, he had been the emperor for forty years now, and he had long forgotten about the debate over the great ceremony.
Therefore, he didn't think it was a big deal.
However, other people's national strength was displayed year by year.
Why did he jump directly to the 17th year of Jiajing and even deliberately give a picture of removing Zhu Gaochi's memorial tablet?
In this emperor chat group.
Are you targeting me?
"No wonder."
Zhu Di's face turned green." Houzhao calls me Yongle, and Chongzhen calls me Chengzu.”
"I thought it was because my achievements were too dazzling that I was pursued as an ancestor. I didn't expect it to be because of such a thing.”
The reason why I turned myself into 'Zu'
It was to move his son's memorial tablet out of the ancestral temple!？
"Chengzu, calm down."
Jiajing's brain spun quickly and he quickly said,""Actually, according to the original rules, your memorial tablet should have been moved out, but because I also respected you to the extreme, I moved the Renzong memorial tablet.”
"I see."
Zhu Di nodded secretly. He was still very pleased with such flattery.
However, he quickly reacted.
"So this is the reason why you moved Gao Chi's memorial tablet out?”
“.......”
"He's also a filial child.”
Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted.
After all, if he didn't move, Jiajing would have to find a new father.
And this kind of personality that would rather die than submit.
Zhu Yuanzhang also agreed.
“........”
"Forget it, just move it."
Zhu Di sighed. It didn't matter anymore.
Although Gao Chi's throne had been moved, wasn't this giving him the title of the reigning emperor as compensation?
Emperor Yong Le was not a petty person.
Zhu Gaochi, who had not joined the Group chats: “...”
[Zhu Gaochi: Has no one really considered my feelings?]
In the seventh year of Jiajing, with the assistance of Zhang Cong, Jia Yong, Yang Yiqing, Xie Qian and others, the new policies of Jiajing achieved certain results. The national strength was significantly improved, and at the same time, the power of the cabinet was also greatly improved.
However, you have already firmly grasped the power of the civil officials in your hands through the Great Ceremony. To you, the so-called cabinet and the civil and military officials in the court are just chess pieces that are clearly visible.
In the eighth year of Jiajing, you felt that the so-called virtuous emperors of the past dynasties were only so-so. It was too easy to govern the world. At the same time, you were also somewhat puzzled. How did Imperial Brother Zhu Houzhao get played by the civil officials?
As for the so-called use of eunuchs to contain the power of civil officials? In your opinion, there's no need at all. You alone can suppress it!
In the ninth year of Jiajing, there was a great drought in Jizhou. You requisitioned grain from Yunzhou and Weizhou in time for disaster relief...
"Jiajing, this kid is really arrogant.”
Zhu Houzhao looked at the screen and was slightly speechless.
The so-called virtuous kings of the past generations were just so-so?
Indeed.
The intelligence of this kid, Jiajing, was very rare in the entire history of China.
However, his intelligence was focused on fighting for power.
If one had to use a word to describe it.
That was the top-notch mind of an Emperor.
However, other abilities.
Zhu Houzhao didn't want to give him a blow.
He even felt that it was a pity.
If Jiajing could be as sensitive and smart as the emperor in other aspects.
Jiajing Dynasty.
Perhaps it was really going to be a turning point in history.
"No wonder the Jiajing Dynasty was able to rank fourth. This new policy is indeed not bad.”
"It's not much different from the Zheng De Dynasty.”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly.
"Dad, didn't you realize that the main force used for reform in the Zhengde and Jiajing Dynasties was the same person?" Zhu Di quickly reminded him.”
"Zhang Cong?"
Zhu Yuanzhang finally reacted.
"Looks like this person is indeed a talent.”
Presumably, Houzhao knew of this person's talent, so he promoted him in advance.
unfortunately
This person could not be used by the Hong Martial Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little regretful.
However, Li Shan Chang and Hu Weiyong were enough for the Hongwu Dynasty.
In the 13th year of Jiajing, you began to rectify the administration of officials, restrict the relatives, and at the same time reform the imperial examination.
In the 14th year of Jiajing, Zhang Cong suddenly fell seriously ill and repeatedly requested to retire. However, you did not allow it because you could not bear to part with this staunch supporter who had stood with you during the Great Ceremony. You even personally brewed medicine for him to drink.
However, as Zhang Cong's illness is getting more and more serious, he can't even go to court. You have no choice but to let him retire and go home to recuperate.
In the same year, there was a mutiny in Liaodong and a rebellion in Guangning. To the north of the Great Wall, the leader of the Mongolian Tartar tribe, Antahan, constantly invaded the border. His troops were often tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands.
Although you have implemented many new policies, you have never interfered with the army. What followed was that the corrupt army of the Jiajing Dynasty could not resist the Mongolian cavalry.
