I am the king of the dead

Chapter 889 The Common Characteristics of Turning from Prosperity to Decline

Zhu Qiyu is actually very clear about what the courtiers, including Yu Qian and Xing'an, are worried about. The flower and bird envoys, drafts and other things are just to give Zhu Qiyu a little rest. As the most honorable emperor in the world, he doesn't have to worry about it Like a cow and a horse.

The next morning the sun was quite bright, it was already June, the dawn was relatively early, Zhu Qiyu got up a little late today, it was already bright, and Zhu Qiyu was still in bed.

It was really Empress Wang who was more annoying, and it was a bit late to toss, Zhu Qiyu got up twice, supported her waist, looked a little tired, obviously she still didn't get enough sleep.

"Miss, there are some things that we have to talk about. We are somewhat overwhelmed by your depletion of resources." Zhu Qiyu still has temple plans to participate in today, so naturally there is no delay. It is difficult to get up.

"It's hard to catch it once, so naturally you can't let it go easily." Empress Wang simply lay on the bed, not planning to get up at all, the effect of force is mutual, Zhu Qiyu inspects the army horse every day, his foot is extremely solid, he wants to toss Zhu Qiyu With a tired face, Queen Wang naturally couldn't take it anymore. Zhu Qiyu also looked tired, and Queen Wang just didn't bother to get up.

"My lady, there are quite a few people in the harem. We are busy with official duties, so we have no time at all. If we go further, it won't be enough to divide us up, right?" Zhu Qiyu brushed his teeth by himself. He has hands and feet, and he doesn't like it. Followed by a large pair of tails.

Brushing your teeth requires an eunuch to do it for you. Is that really necessary?
He couldn't understand how King Jili tolerated the eunuch holding a toothbrush in his mouth, just like he couldn't understand why some overbearing people insisted on spitting into the girl's mouth.

There are a total of eight people in the Daming harem, each with its own characteristics, even a Roman princess, who can even learn foreign languages, Zhu Qiyu feels that if there are more people, she will be too busy, just like Gao Jieyu, the youngest who has just entered the palace Every time Zhu Qiyu sees Gao Jieyu, she even feels that she is born. If there are more, Zhu Qiyu is really out of skills, and I am afraid that she can't even remember her name.

"Your Majesty is the Lord of the Ming Dynasty, isn't it because you are afraid that your Majesty will be troubled by seeing so many yellow-faced women?" Zhu Qiyu could smell the sourness of Queen Wang's words from afar, and even her husband stopped calling, and directly Call Your Majesty.

As a wife, Empress Wang is of course not willing to bring in a newcomer to Tai'an Palace. If possible, she doesn't even want to share the benefits with other concubines.

As a queen, Empress Wang is the mother of the world, so she naturally wants to be virtuous and benevolent. These two identities are quite contradictory, but Queen Wang has done a good job.

"Are you old and decrepit?" Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "I think you are a yellow-faced woman only when you are blind."

Old women, yellow-faced women, these are women who are overworked. Women in the fields, women who wash clothes in grass temples outside the city, and maidservants who serve their masters every day in the city, under the sun and wind, they are naturally They are getting old quickly, but the concubines and concubines of Tai'an Palace are pampered and pampered in the palace, how can a yellow-faced woman say that?Even Ran Siniang, who is busy, doesn't do physical work, and she won't age so quickly.

Empress Wang showed a smile. After her Majesty returned to the palace, most of them would stay with her. Even if a newcomer entered the palace, she would not be able to do without her empress' favor. That's why she made a fuss about the draft. Her Majesty refused, and Empress Wang was naturally satisfied. , especially at the laziest time of the morning, when she heard the compliment on her appearance, Queen Wang naturally beamed with joy.

"Let's go to the lecture hall after breakfast. I have something to do today, so my lady rests." Zhu Qiyu tidied up her clothes.

It is said that Yesa evolved from Hu Yuan's braided jacket, but they didn't mention it at all. Hu Yuan's braided jacket came from the Jin Dynasty, and most of the clothes of the Jin Dynasty came from the Song Dynasty. Some Hanlins in the Imperial Academy, Talking about the distinction between Hua and Yi, saying that it is not appropriate for the emperor to wear this dress, it does not conform to the etiquette and so on, how come this clothes are comfortable, does it have to be distinguished by blood or not?
As far as the border of the Central Plains is concerned, you have been fighting me and you have been fighting for thousands of years. It has long been me in you, and you in me. How can you distinguish between you and me?

Zhu Qiyu came to the martial arts hall, and all the Korean and Chinese military capitals had arrived.

There are many civil servants, starting from Hu Wei, the prince's young teacher, followed by Jiang Yuan, Minister of the Ministry of War, Wang Ao, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Shen Yi, Minister of the Ministry of Households, and congratulatory chapters of the Zuodu Censor, and so on. , all in command of Qian Shi and Zuo Shen general Zhao Fu.

Zhao Fu once participated in the 14th year of Zhengtong's battle of the capital and made great achievements. Then in the second year of Jingtai, he participated in the battles of Jining and Hetao. After making military exploits, Zhao Fu has been the first to ascend many times, taking the lead in soldiers, and he is as brave as his ancestors. He can be regarded as one of Zhu Qiyu's die-hard fans.

Zhao Fu is the grandnephew of Liang Guogong Zhao Desheng. Zhao Desheng was shot and killed by a crossbow when he led an army to guard the city gate in the battle of defending Nanchang in the 23rd year of Hu Yuan Zhizheng. He was 39 years old at the time.

Zhao Fu and his ancestor Zhao Desheng fought in the same style, brave and not afraid of death. Zhu Qiyu repeatedly reminded Zhao Fu that as a general, if you fall, the tooth flag will fall, and the morale of the army will be weakened, let alone win. Zhao Fu changed this slightly. A fighting style, but still lead by example.

Zhao Fu had something to say: When your emperor personally charged in front of the Desheng gate to capture the flag, why didn't you say that you are the emperor, how can you lightly venture into dangerous places?The emperor is not afraid of death, so are we soldiers and generals afraid of death?

The reason why only two generals participated in the clever calculation was because Zhu Qiyu's confidants were all sent out, and Marquis Wuqing, Marquis Wen'an, and Marquis Changping were all on the way to the Northern Expedition.

"See Your Majesty, Your Majesty's Blessings."

"Your Majesty is mighty!"

"Sit down." Zhu Qiyu signaled everyone to sit down, and then said: "Hu Shangshu, I have something to do, and you also told Yao Shangshu that the matter of the draft will be discussed later."

In fact, Xing'an really wanted to remind His Majesty that Hu Wei is a young teacher, not the Minister of Rites, Your Majesty, listen for yourself, is it awkward for Minister of Rites to talk to Yao Kui, Minister of Rites?
But His Majesty got used to it, and didn't bother to make it easier.

"Your Majesty, Yao Kui was instructed by my minister to select the talent show." Instead of accepting this question or accepting this order, Hu Ming made it clear that he asked Yao Kui to do this.

Ever since something happened to Xiao Xun, he colluded with Ara Zhiyuan inside and outside, and was decapitated by the emperor, the position of Minister of Rites was given to Yao Kui.

But Zhu Qiyu still handed over the matter of the Ministry of Rites to Hu Wei, and Hu Wei also directly admitted that he asked Yao Kui to do it.

"Your Majesty, I preside over the affairs of the study room. There are still too few heirs in Tai'an Palace. Your Majesty is in the prime of life, so you should have more heirs." On this matter, his nagging began.

Going to the study room is the education of the emperor's heirs. As a teacher and father, Hu Wei is over [-] years old, and he still has to personally inspect it every day. The prince and the three princesses, logically speaking, are not too few, but in the eyes of the old man, children are more or less few.

Your emperor has no problem. If you don’t have children, you deal with memorials every day at night. What if the prince is a bastard and makes a major civil engineering event, and the courtiers want to support the new emperor, they can choose and choose, right?
"I know what Hu Shangshu is worried about? Isn't it because I am afraid that I will learn from the Tang Minghuang?" Zhu Qiyu knocked on the table and made his words very clear: "In the first half of my life, I worked hard and worked hard. Said that it also broke Datang's muscles and bones, and since then, Datang has turned from prosperity to decline."

"In fact, counting, the Western Han Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline under the hands of Emperor Han Yuan. Emperor Han Yuan was also conscientious when he first ascended the throne. After a few years, he said that he was ill and could not go to court. The country is suspected, the empress dowager is in charge of the court, the relatives are in charge of politics, and the relatives are in charge of the sky, and when it comes to the Tang Dynasty, this is the Minghuang of the Tang Dynasty."

The Ming Dynasty really turned from prosperity to decline, and rolled down from the top of the mountain, it was in the hands of Emperor Wanli. Zhang Juzheng died in the tenth year of Wanli, and Wanli launched a liquidation against Zhang Juzheng. Since the 13th year of Wanli, Wanli has never been in court again. It has entered a downward trend, and Wanli is the one who stepped on the brakes.

God is not mean to Daming.

After Ming Yingzong's mischief, God gave Daming Yu Qian to turn the tide. When he was old, God gave Daming Zhang Juzheng. In his later years, Daming also created the afterglow of the three major dynasties. Other dynasties are all ups and downs Luoluo, in Daming, sit-ups.

In the Tartar Qing Dynasty, it was Emperor Qianlong, who was called Zong Zong by people in the Jianghu, who turned from prosperity to decline, and because he was the fourth eldest, he was also jokingly called the fourth child.

Emperor Qianlong and Emperor Hanyuan, Emperor Hanhe, Emperor Ming of Tang, and Wanli all have very similarities, that is, they worked hard in the first half of their lives and were confused in the second half.

When it comes to Qianlong, one must mention a key person, that is Zhang Jia Agui, as Qianlong's foreman military minister, suppressed Heshen for 19 years, nine of Qianlong's ten perfect achievements are all Established by Agui.

Historically, it was Agui, not Ji Xiaolan, nor Liu Luoguo Liu Yong, who was Qianlong's favorite with Heshen.

Agui is a Manchu nobleman, and his father is Akdon, who is the best educated man among the Manchus.

Agui's early prosperity was due to "My Principal's Father". Because of his youth, Agui made a mistake in the defeat of Jinchuan in the 13th year of Qianlong and was questioned. This son is especially forgiving.

Then Agui abandoned his pen and joined the army, and joined the battlefield during the 20th year of Qianlong's conquest of the Western Regions. This 38-year-old Agui, who had studied all his life, began to show his talent in the military field.

The four words of military talent are rewarded by God, and they cannot be forced, and they cannot be forced.

Agui's military talent can be roughly summed up as whether the Qing Dynasty was chaotic or not, Agui had the final say.

In the 21st year of Qianlong, Agui's father, Akdun, died of illness, and Agui went home to observe his filial piety. In just seven months, the frontline battle deteriorated rapidly. Seeing that the fight continued like this, not to mention the perfect merit, it was his turn to eat the dirt after the defeat. Ah Gui, who had just arrived in the capital for the funeral, was taken away and was not allowed to keep his filial piety, so he went back immediately.

The Western Regions had been conquered, and rumors of abandoning the garrisons in the Western Regions were rampant, and Qianlong was also beating his heart out. It was all because the Western Regions were thousands of miles away and it was difficult to supply them.

Ah Gui said it was easy to handle, so it was just to farm the fields.

Tuntian has existed since the Han Dynasty. If it was really easy to handle, the government and the public would not be so noisy.There are many things to do in the field, and Qianlong, with the idea of ​​​​taking a look at the village, handed it over to Agui whoever suggested it.

It took Agui five years to manage the farmland, and the Western Regions were completely stabilized.

All the way to Qingyun, Agui went straight to Qingyun. In the 30th year of Qianlong, there was a mess with Emperor Qianlong. The cause of the incident was that in the 29th year of Qianlong, there was a rebellion by the rioters on Tianshan South Road. Agui and the general Fucha led the army to suppress the rebellion.

When Agui arrived in the Western Regions, he started killing, but what he killed was not the rioters who raised troops, but the officials of the Western Regions, because this rebellion was completely a rebellion by the officials, and Agui's butcher knife was not aimed at grasshoppers, but at He killed corrupt officials and mercilessly dealt with the rebels. Instead, he besieged the city for half a year, persuading the rebels to surrender and resettlement, and the problem was solved.

Agui has been operating in the Western Regions for several years. Agui knows the affairs of the Western Regions best. You have relieved yourself by slaughtering these thousands of people today, but this hatred will be endless, which is not conducive to the long-term stability of the Western Regions. Besides, you The officials forced the people to rebel, and you slaughtered them again, and it would be unreasonable to talk about breaking the sky.

But Ah Gui is the most face-saving President Zhang who resists the order and does not obey it. His order is to massacre the rebellious people. What is the matter with you, Ah Gui, who slaughtered all the officials?Mr. Zhang was quite dissatisfied with Agui, but he didn't need it and couldn't do it. He could only let Agui continue to be the foreman minister of military affairs.

Since the 30th year of Qianlong, the face-saving Mr. Zhang has fallen into the imperial cemetery, suffering from the southwestern border.

The first is the Qing-Myanmar War. Although the Qing court won a great victory, it lost troops and lost generals. Ali Gun died of illness, Fu Heng died of a serious illness, and no one in the court was available. When it came to the Battle of Dajinchuan, this chapter always found that only Agui was available. , so Agui could only be sent there.

What was the Qing army like before the Battle of Dajinchuan at that time?Someone dropped a plate on the ground, and the soldiers were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy.

Such a slack army will naturally be unable to fight, and the embarrassing situation of having no generals to send and no soldiers to use in the court. As the chef, Agui, although he has no rice, he still cooks a good meal. He spent three years, A large number of outstanding generals were trained and more than [-] elite soldiers were trained. Fukang'an was all trained by Agui, and he won the battle of Dajinchuan in one fell swoop.

Emperor Qianlong slack in government in his later years, Agui is such an upright person, Qianlong is not pleasing to his eyes, but Agui's military achievements are displayed there, and nine of Zhang Zong's perfect achievements are all done by Agui. .

But Qianlong was really annoyed by this Agui.

Zhang Zong does not go to the court, A Gui plays; Zhang Zong engages in criminal affairs, A Gui plays; Zhang Zong engages in literary prisons, A Gui leads the officials to play; Zhang Zong wants to abolish the queen, A Gui plays; Zhang Zong favors He Shen, A Gui Gui even quarreled with Mr. Zhang face to face.

In short, Agui will obstruct what Zhang Zong wants to do, and the generals in the army are all Agui's people, Zhang Zong can't do anything about Agui, you can only obstruct it, I should do stupid things and I will do stupid things .

After Zhang Zongchan gave up to Emperor Jiaqing, in the second year of Jiaqing, before Agui died of illness, he also made a memorial, saying that he hated the emperor (Jiaqing) for not being able to govern himself, and hated and embarrassing treacherous officials.

Before Agui died, he thought about two things. The first one was that Emperor Qianlong, who was already the Supreme Emperor, should die quickly and let Jiaqing take charge.The second thing is that after Jiaqing came to power, he quickly killed Heshen to restore the world to a bright future.

Mr. Zhang was really furious when he saw the memorial, but he was helpless.

Compared with Liu Yong, who committed a capital crime and survived because of "My Father of the Ministry of Punishment", after his father's death, in order to promote Zhang Zong's stinky feet to promote the literary inquisition, the conflict between the center and Heshen has a strong color of party struggle.

Liu Yong, as a Han official, won the Daxing Literary Inquisition, and I don't know how Liu Yong's father, Liu Tongxun, would feel when he saw this scene?
Liu Yong went to the center to lead the study and was responsible for the education of the emperor's heirs. As a result, the masters of the emperor's heirs did not go to class for seven days, and the emperor's heirs played in the study room for seven days before being discovered by Qianlong. .

Two years later, Liu Yong was activated again, and Liu Yong, who was activated again, faced He Shen, although he did not cling to him, he did not dare to resist.

In contrast, Agui has been divorced from Qianlong since Qianlong's 30-year resistance and disobedience. He insisted on relying on his own strength to block Qianlong for 32 years and suppress Heshen for 19 years. Liquor Father" Acton, probably pleased.

Hu Miao said rather stubbornly: "Before Yu Shaobao left Beijing, the minister also discussed with Yu Shaobao. Yu Shaobao said that he should do it, and he had to be carefully selected by the Ministry of Rites. He had to be upright in appearance, and be virtuous and virtuous."

In fact, the Ministry of Rites discussed this draft with Yu Qian. It is probably that His Majesty has been busy for more than ten years, enjoying himself and combining work and rest.

"In the future, it will be recorded in the history, I am afraid that during the Jingtai period, they were all flatterers, and they all advised the emperor to stop torturing the people. When it comes to you, how can anyone persuade me to accept more concubines?" Zhu Qiyu shook his head helplessly.

　The monarchs who turned from prosperity to decline are probably like Qianlong. At the beginning, they worked hard to rule the world in peace, then slack off, and then turned to decline. In fact, there is really only a thin line between prosperity and chaos.Ask for a monthly ticket, woo! ! ! ! ! ! !
