......
A wise ruler!
If one only looked at the 14th year of Jiajing.
In Zhu Houzhao's eyes.
Jiajing and Zhang Cong were definitely worthy of this title.
Even when Zhang Cong was seriously ill, Jiajing personally boiled the medicine. Such concern was rare in ancient and modern times.
unfortunately
Zhu Houzhao shook his head slightly.
Unfortunately, the Jiajing Dynasty had ended here.
"The corrupt Great Ming army?"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.
He couldn't quite understand this concept.
When did the Ming army become associated with the word corruption?
He continued reading.
After the Mongolian cavalrymen were burned and robbed for three months in the Ming Dynasty, Andahan finally left in satisfaction. You also regarded this as your own humiliation and made up your mind to revive the army!
In the 15th year of Jiajing, you tried to set up an inspection system like Xuanzong and let your confidant supervise the 13 provinces under heaven. However, you did not expect that this matter would be like the previous grand ceremony and was opposed by the entire court. This time, there was no other Zhang Cong standing beside you.
In the 16th year of Jiajing, you gradually felt powerless for the first time. You could control the officials in the court, but you couldn't control the officials in the world. Only at this moment did you realize what kind of opponent you were facing. It was the gentry class in the world.
In the same year, Zhang Cong died, and you were even more saddened.
In the 17th year of Jiajing, the ceremony was completed. You placed your father's memorial tablet in the ancestral temple, but you knew very well that you alone could not make the entire civil power compromise. They compromised because they wanted you to compromise as well.
You felt a chill run down your spine because you realized that this seemed to be a mountain that you might not be able to move even if you spent your entire life. You suddenly thought of your imperial brother, Zhu Houzhao, who died young.
Did he really die of illness because he accidentally fell into the water?
"What does this mean?"
"Could it be that Houzhao's death from drowning wasn't an accident, but was framed?”
Seeing Jiajing in deep thought on the screen, Hongzhi's eyes gradually widened.
Houzhao was his son, and his only son.
When he found out that Zhu Houzhao had drowned in the original history, he was very sad.
And now, Jiajing's thoughts in the video were actually questioning the drowning case?
This naturally shocked him.
"It means what it says."
Jia Jing laughed bitterly.
It was hard to imagine that an emperor like him, who claimed to be the smartest in the world, would actually smile bitterly.
"Is the power of civil officials really that terrifying?”
Hongzhi could not believe it.
Because from the era of Taizu to his era, he was the only one who treated those scholars the best.
"Imperial Uncle, he is definitely more terrifying than you can imagine.”
"You'll know when you continue watching," Jiajing said with certainty.”
The answer was below?
When Hongzhi heard this, he turned his gaze back to the scene in the sky.
Meanwhile, Zhu Yuanzhang's brows gradually furrowed together.
He didn't know why.
He suddenly had a bad feeling.
In the 18th to 19th year of Jiajing, you began to slow down the pace of reforming the military system and tried to boil the frog in warm water. However, what you never expected was that a palace maid took advantage of your sleep and led a group of young palace maids to try to strangle you with the imperial feather belt. Fortunately, you woke up in time and luckily saved your life.
After the torture, those palace maids did not confess the mastermind behind the scenes, but you already understand in your heart that in the entire Ming Dynasty, only those civil officials who have eyes and hands can arrange such a thing.
From then on, you no longer dared to face the power of the civil officials, and you no longer went to court. The so-called court was no longer of any use in your eyes!
In the 20th year of Jiajing, you began to call the cabinet into the internal court for discussions because only here could you give yourself a sense of security…
"Let the palace maids assassinate the emperor?"
Dumbfounded!
Hongzhi was completely dumbfounded!
Because this was completely beyond his expectations.
How was he still a scholar?
How was he still a Confucian scholar?
This was clearly a pack of wolves and tigers that yearned for power!
"If not for that, I wouldn't have stopped attending court.”
Jia Jing sighed.
"Ever since Hongzhi."
"Big Ming is not the Zhu family's Big Ming at all.”
"Imperial brother drowned and died of illness, and I was almost assassinated by a palace maid. Did Imperial Uncle really think that these were all accidents?”
Whose Big Ming was that?
Although Jiajing did not continue, everyone present could understand what he meant.
The Great Ming of the civil officials!
"Brother, I admire you for being able to regain your power."”
"Because…Even if I were to get a copy of the history of the Ming Dynasty, I'm afraid I might not be able to move that mountain.”
It was precisely because he had seen that mountain that he felt so powerless.
Because he had never faced a powerful official.
It was the entire world!
If he couldn't control the world, then he would only be controlled by the world.
This was the truth that Jiajing realized after being emperor for nineteen years.
"With the lessons of the past and foresight, it will naturally be much easier.”
Zhu Houzhao comforted him.
But in reality.
Who knew how he had survived these ten years!
In fact, Zhu Houzhao was quite smart. He realized that although the civil officials could suppress him in many ways, they could not suppress his identity.
Therefore, no matter what, he would do it himself.
However, it was precisely because of this that the civil officials used their final move.
If I can't suppress your identity, can't I control you?
In Zhu Houzhao's opinion.
There were two reasons why he and Jiajing were killed.
Too powerful!
The first time Zhu Houzhao came to the Frontier, he knew how to fight.
A natural talent!
And Jiajing was as smart as a ghost, with all kinds of imperial tricks.
He had fooled all the civil officials in the court!
If it was just a little bit of strength, that would be fine. However, if he wanted to use this to expand and include other areas, he would have to use this to increase his strength.
That was not something that the civil officials could accept!
Compared to Zhu Houzhao in the original history, he had the advantage of having foresight. He had walked step by step to where he was today, and it was actually like walking on thin ice.
Even before he came to the chat group, he had been in the leopard room.
He had no choice.
If he stayed in other places, he would also feel afraid!
Who knew if those civil officials would launch a final counterattack and fight with him?
"Jiajing, isn't it the 40th year of Jiajing now?”
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked.
"Yes, Lord Taizu, it was in March of the 40th year of Jiajing."”
"Since it's the 40th year of Jiajing, then you haven't gone to court since the 19th year of Jiajing, doesn't that mean you haven't gone to court for 21 years?”
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little surprised." Don't tell me you're secretly controlling the situation in the palace and sending a large number of confidants and civil officials to seize power like Houzhao?"”
“... This,"
Jiajing was a little embarrassed.
"I didn't seize power, it's mainly the cultivation fruits.”
"Cultivation Fruit?"
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di were stunned.
"The clouds are on the green mountain, and the water is in the bottle."
Jiajing revealed a smile.
He also knew that Great Ancestor and Great Ancestor had bad tempers, but as the saying goes, one should not hit a smiling person.
Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless.
Zhu Di was speechless.
Do you really think we don't understand?
