Cheng De climbed Mount Tai and wanted to enshrine him in order to promote his merits, but he gave up the idea when he thought of Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty who had enshrined him in Mount Tai.

According to historical records, when Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty was enthroning Mount Tai, he wanted to use God's will to deter foreign enemies, so he directed and staged a farce in which "the Book of Heaven fell from the sky". However, the impact of this incident was quite serious. It can be said that Song Zhenzong single-handedly lowered the status of Feng Chan. After Song Zhenzong, no one of the emperors granted Zen anymore.

The people are still suffering, and I am very worried about it."

Later, he spread the idea of ​​​​sharing his family into an acre and promoted it in the Ming Dynasty.

The so-called "divide the tax per person into the mu" means to spread the per capita tax into the mu of land, and determine the tax amount according to the number of acres of land. Those with more land will receive more, those with less land will receive less, and those without land will not.

This move is beneficial to the poor and not beneficial to the landlords.

When it was initially implemented, it encountered fierce opposition from landowners throughout the Ming Dynasty.

Cheng De's attitude was extremely tough and he directly used the army to suppress landlords everywhere.

The implementation of the policy of dividing one person into another was barely carried out smoothly despite the overwhelming number of people.

Finally, Cheng De followed Gong Bosui's plan and created a miracle, saying that these high-yielding grains were given by God and were auspicious to the Ming Dynasty.

Yongsheng Emperor Cheng Zheng couldn't help but recall the process of Cheng De helping him to ascend to the throne. She burst into tears and shouted: "Grandpa Huang, my grandson Zheng Ding can definitely find you a precious medicine to prolong your life, and he will definitely cure you, Grandpa Huang."

Cheng De glanced at his whole body. He was as thin as firewood and not human-like, and said: "From ancient times to the present, which emperor can live as long as me? I am already satisfied!"

Cheng Zheng was startled.

"Zheng'er, the emperor gave you something before he died. Remember this thing. From now on, it can only be given to the succeeding emperor and passed down from generation to generation," Cheng De said, looking at Cheng Zheng's face.

Cheng Zheng nodded and said: "Grandpa Huang, Sun Erzheng will remember every word of what you said."

But, Zheng'er, you are obsessed with When it comes to government affairs, don't neglect how to manage the harem.

Cheng Zheng's eyes became darker and darker, and his heart was extremely sad. He had realized something.

So, Cheng Zheng said: "Grandpa Huang, if you say so, Zheng'er will agree to it!"

Cheng took Cheng Zheng's hand and said: "If Li'er becomes the prince, the Ming Dynasty will still be strong for decades or even hundreds of years in the future. What the emperor means is that Zheng'er wants to make Li'er the prince! Also, the Queen's side , Zheng'er remember to protect her, if you protect her, you will protect the strong future of Ming Dynasty!"

"Ahem." Cheng De's expression suddenly returned to its original state.

Cheng De seemed to realize something. He already knew that he didn't have much time left. Looking through the Jingsi Hall and outside the hall, he seemed to see Luo Yan, Ma Xiuying and others, as well as his brothers, heading towards He waved.

So, Cheng De sighed softly:

"Yan'er, sister Xiuying, Biao'er, I'm here to accompany you!"
