Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king

Chapter 386: To prevent concessions, the people took the initiative to create gods and invited the old emperor to the altar.
The emperor always attaches great importance to coordinated development, harmonious development and green development.

Due to the rapid development in the country, a number of nouveau riche have emerged, making the public atmosphere very impetuous.

Since the 50th year of Jingtai, the emperor has proposed to rectify folk customs, restore ancient customs, conduct moral education for merchants, and standardize the behavior of merchants.

But the symptoms are not the root cause.

As long as we are human, we have to go through the process of becoming rich from the poor.

An official from the central government proposed a fine policy, forcing service personnel to serve with a smile, forcing citizens to restore ancient rituals and customs, and imposing fines on those who do not comply with the rules.

Human nature requires limits.

Why did the people of the Qin Dynasty adhere to ancient etiquette the most? It was because the etiquette and laws of the Qin Dynasty were the most stringent.

The Ming Dynasty also used strict laws to restrict people's lives, imposing restrictions on all aspects, and forcibly creating the illusion of ancient customs and rituals.

This statement has been criticized by the people, who believe that now is the most open and enlightened era of the Ming Dynasty. If we enforce strict laws for the sake of so-called ancient customs and ancient laws, we will inevitably abandon the fundamentals and pursue the weak.

A large number of Voldemorts were born, and there were also women who were willing to become Voldemorts.

That's right.

Once the Spring Festival is gone, there will probably be only one symbol left of family affection.

Even if the laws are strict, the people do not hold officials accountable, and parents feel sorry for their children and are reluctant to take them to court, which in turn encourages the spread of bad habits.

It is said among the people that people with negative hearts are mostly scholars.

From the original special case, it became a general case.

If the man doesn't give you a high price as a bride price, you won't be allowed to get married.

However, Jingtai Chao trampled the matchmaker into the mud. Who dares to introduce a partner? Once he goes to court, he will be exiled with tattoos on his face. The exile places are all extremely cold places, and death is a luxury.

Without a matchmaker as a middleman, it would be difficult to sell a daughter.

The emperor deleted the words of the matchmaker but not the orders of the parents. We are biological fathers and mothers, so we can make the decision.

With the rapid development of society, this situation is becoming more and more common.

They left their hometown and established a foothold in the city. Their inferiority complex was so rampant that they abandoned their parents and family. When they mentioned their parents and family, they were full of disgust, or even never mentioned them.

Let's not talk about eating well now. At least every family can have enough to eat and can eat meat almost every day. The good days are getting better and better day by day, and there are actually cases where the elderly are abandoned.

Life was very difficult at that time, with natural and man-made disasters, and it was common to not have enough to eat or wear or keep warm.

I have heard of selling sons and daughters, but I have never heard of selling fathers and mothers.

In fact, the root cause of this problem is high housing prices.

Fortunately, there are several big festivals, so we can still visit relatives and friends and maintain family ties.

The imperial court also forced women to study, which resulted in parents trying their best to make money from their daughters to recoup their costs when their daughters grew up.

Those unscrupulous parents can only think of giving gifts to their daughters.

There was nothing the emperor could do.

In ancient society, families relied on labor force to maintain families, so they needed help from relatives, and they had to be in constant contact. Because of production needs, it naturally seemed humane.

Especially in folk families with many children and many daughters, parents must be partial to sons and despise daughters.

In the past, daughters could be sold directly to whomever had the most betrothal gifts.

The number of betrothal gifts can only be regulated, and the amount of dowry must be strictly stipulated to reduce the number of betrothal gifts. Parents must distribute the dowry, and the dowry and betrothal gifts must be fully controlled by the woman.

There was a lot of noise in the newspapers, and even such novels appeared among the people.

In fact, in recent years, the social problem of unsupportive parents has emerged. Before the Jingtai Dynasty, this problem had never been heard of.

In recent years, there have been many cases.

In recent years, the issue of people’s hearts has been constantly discussed.

In particular, school education encourages free love and freedom of marriage.

The emperor had seen the answer. He didn't want Ming Dynasty to end up on the path of recognizing money but not people, and not recognizing relatives for the sake of money. He had to find a way to save people's hearts.

Voldemort is getting more and more.

Voldemort once became a hot topic in Jingtai's 59th year. It has become more and more popular in recent years. Some parents even learned from the newspapers and forced their daughters to do this.

The ultra-high housing prices are beyond the reach of almost all ordinary families. In order to buy a house, they naturally have to find ways to make money, so they decided to do it with their daughter.

In the 61st year of Jingtai, in the Mid-Autumn Festival edict, the emperor once again sternly stated that supporting the elderly is an obligation and must be implemented.

Family love will really fade away.

It was college students who first abandoned their adoptive parents.

If you sell your children to feed your parents, you and your wife will starve to death. I have never heard of abandoning your parents to raise them.

As the economy develops and women's social status improves, parents begin to think of women's betrothal gifts. They cannot afford any dowry, but they covet the betrothal gifts sent by the men. After they get married, they even blackmail the women into buying a house and a car for their younger brother.

And strictly crack down on the unhealthy customs among the people that favor sons over daughters, and sisters support younger brothers and younger sisters support older brothers. Women have the obligation to be filial to their parents, but have no obligation to help their brothers.

Even if the central government issued the most stringent decree, filial piety could not stand and became an empty talk.

However, with the rapid development of productivity, less and less manpower is needed for farming, urban buildings gradually isolate neighbors, the concept of private space becomes more and more popular, and family ties naturally fade away.

In fact, there is another reason, which is the exodus of Ming women in large numbers.

Domestic men think the bride price is too expensive and are unwilling to pay.

The Han people in the vassal state did not think it was expensive.

They come directly back to China to buy, and they spend a lot of money to buy, and they don’t take back a penny of the betrothal gift. We only want people, and we give them as much as they want.

There are many bright ladies in the country, but there are few bright ladies in the vassal country, and the Han people in foreign vassals still have money.

This resulted in sky-high betrothal gifts and Voldemort running rampant.

As for concubines, you can only be a concubine if you are beautiful. If you go to a wealthy family to be a concubine, they will not be short of the betrothal gift. Not to mention the younger brother, you can support the whole family.

In recent years, a large number of Ming women have left the country, and the number of people born in the Ming Dynasty has declined. If this trend continues, the population of the Ming Dynasty will decrease in thirty years.

The peak population of the Ming Dynasty was 37 billion, and then it will start to decrease year by year. In fifty years, it will return to 30 billion people, but there will be 15 billion elderly people.

This is a very serious problem.

The birth rate must be higher than the death rate.

With the development of science and technology, Ming Dynasty is fully capable of supporting a population of more than 40 billion.

And population is precisely the most important part of consumption.

Internal circulation relies on domestic high-quality population and self-consumption.

Capitalization will inevitably lead to a financial crisis. The way to alleviate the financial crisis is consumption. The consumption of bulk commodities is the fastest way to alleviate the crisis.

Sooner or later, the Ming Dynasty will enter a development bottleneck and a bourgeois trap. If we want to get out of the quagmire, we must rely on high-quality consumer groups to continue consumption and relieve economic pressure.

Therefore, the emperor has been cultivating the consumer market.

However, this kind of consumption cannot be disorderly, loan, or squandering consumption. The Center does not advocate this kind of consumption.

In order to save the family relationship.

The emperor decided to celebrate five major festivals: Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Christmas and Mid-Autumn Festival.

There are many social problems, and family affection is just one of them.

Regional development is uneven. Coastal cities are rich and inland cities are poor. Agricultural provinces are far less wealthy than industrial provinces.

The gap between the rich and the poor is large. Those who farm are not as good as those who work, those who work are not as good as those who run small businesses, those who run small businesses are not as good as those who run factories, those who run factories are not as good as those who play with capital, and those who play with capital are not as good as those with backers. This has formed A chain of contempt.

Industrial development is unbalanced, and private development develops whatever the emperor supports. The common people lack subjective initiative and cannot create industries and develop on their own initiative.

Comparison is a serious trend among the people. Ancient laws and rituals have long been forgotten. Relatives no longer have family ties, only comparisons remain. The purpose of maintaining family ties is to show off.

There are many questions.

In the past few years, the central government has also been discussing methods, but the specific methods have not yet been finalized.

They all point to the old emperor turning stones into gold.

But the old emperor is not a god and cannot solve the problem.

Transportation costs determine the imbalance of regional development; human nature determines comparison; the birth of capital creates a gap between the rich and the poor.

This is inevitable for development.

People joke about Liu Jian, saying that he is just a paper framer and his abilities are much inferior to those of his previous chief assistants.

In fact, this paper framer is really not easy to do.

The old emperor didn't care much, the prince was stingy, the grandson was careless, and the central government relied on the support of cabinet officials.

If Liu Jian thinks about it again, Ming Dynasty will enter the fast lane of bubble development.

The current development of Ming Dynasty is mainly based on laying a solid foundation.

Go slowly one step at a time.

The same applies to engineering. You can't think of rapid development. Just pave the road today and demolish it next year. As long as the road is paved, it will take at least a hundred years.

Duplicate infrastructure cannot be used to create political achievements for officials.

The most fun thing is that you can build one road, demolish it, and build it, and don't care if other roads are broken.

The same goes for buildings, quality comes first.

Based on the cultivated land of the Ming Dynasty, it is unlikely to promote villas for all people. There is not enough land.

The concept of villa was proposed by the public once in the forty-sixth year of Jingtai.

It was rejected by the Ministry of Household Affairs.

The Ming Dynasty was seriously short of arable land, and the food problem was a big problem.

Even the residences of high-ranking officials and dignitaries have no longer been approved since the 46th year of Jingtai. They are not allowed to buy or sell, and they can only live in buildings like the common people.

Just talking about the capital, many rotten houses in the inner city have been demolished and used to build tourist-oriented buildings such as museums and memorial halls, or they have been planned into business districts.

The entire inner city is a place for tourists to check in, and a large number of people gather there every day.

Ancient cities all over the world are planned in this way. The inner city protects its original style, demolishes old and small buildings, builds cultural scenic spots and business districts, and relocates the locals to the outer city.

The first and second rings are both scenic spots to check in.

Last year, when the emperor proposed a soft landing for real estate, some officials proposed that villas could be used instead of real estate to create another wave of real estate peaks.

That is to say, the restrictions on villas are relaxed and people are allowed to buy and sell villas.

Start to hype villas and let people buy a wave of villas.

This is a good idea.

According to statistics, the number of people in Ming Dynasty with a net worth of more than 10 yuan in deposits exceeds 1 million yuan.

If we make good use of these 100 million people, we can create villa glory.

But the emperor vetoed it.

He believes that the central government should support hot money investment in high-tech industries instead of speculating on a bunch of broken stones, which is completely meaningless.

Unless real estate cannot make a soft landing, we will find ways to let hot money return to real estate and speculate on villas.

Now the economic development situation is very good, and hot money has been withdrawn from real estate.

Moreover, the initiative is entirely in the hands of Ming Dynasty. There are strong enemies outside and no reactionary forces in the country. The central government can paint freely, so there is no need to make yourself uncomfortable.

Hot money has flowed from real estate to new industries such as entertainment, military industry, and new technology fields. There is no need to hold on to real estate for the time being.

Orderly and healthy development is the main tone of the Jingtai Dynasty, and we cannot catch all the benefits.

Speaking of stones.

The Ming Dynasty is currently short of stones. In addition to the Xing'an Mountains and the mountains in the new province, stones are needed, and they cannot be built on concrete.

The Ministry of Industry means that there are many stones in the southwest, and the mountains in Yunnan and Guizhou can be blown up and the stones can be transported to the northeast.

Yunnan and Guizhou now have flat land, making it easier for the court to guard and the people's lives to be convenient. These stones have new uses, killing two birds with one stone.

The Department of Environment is still assessing whether it will cause adverse impacts on the natural environment in the Southwest.

If the assessment passes, the stones will be transported from the southwest to the northeast.

The southwest and northwest at least have clear goals.

Jiangnan was in trouble.

Jiangnan was originally the economic center of the Ming Dynasty, and it is now, but its position is very embarrassing. There was no Indo-China Peninsula before. Jiangnan has a natural seaport, and has trade advantages with North Korea and Japan. The handicraft industry is extremely developed.

But as the Ming Dynasty occupied the Baiyue countries, there were many Ming Dynasty ports.

Moreover, in trade with Europe, Africa, and Central Asia, Chittagong completely replaced the role of Jiangnan.

If it is shipped back to the country, it is domestic and domestic trade. If there is no policy preference, how much worse can Guangdong, Fujian, and Shandong be than Jiangnan?
In the past, Jiangnan had the largest number of handicraft practitioners in the world.

Now, it’s the machine age.

Craftsmen will either turn to high-end customization or be eliminated.

As long as there are machines and are close to the sea, it doesn't matter where you set up a factory. For foreign trade, Bianjing is the first choice. For domestic sales, Shandong, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang are not the best places.
The territory of the Ming Dynasty was different.

Jiangnan became the waist region of the Ming Dynasty and was no longer unique.

If the emperor had not spared no effort to invest in Jiangnan, Jiangnan would have declined long ago.

It was the emperor who worked hard to build Jiangnan as the economic center of the Ming Dynasty and promoted the establishment of large urban circles in Shanghai, Nanjing, Suzhou, and Hangzhou.

This is no longer the time in the early years when the Jiangnan gentry could threaten the central government.

If those Jiangnan gentry don't support the central government, if the central government tilts its policies to the Indochina Peninsula, Jiangnan will become the next Central Plains, which is nothing.

Look at the emperor's placement of science and technology enterprises in the central region. Wuhan, Changsha, Nanning, and Nanchang will develop.

Jiangnan also followed suit and drank soup.

If the emperor doesn't let him drink it, he has to endure it honestly.

Nowadays, the Jiangnan gentry is the most supportive of the imperial court.

In fact, the central region is also in decline. Wuhan, as a super first-tier city, has also been declining in recent years, and it is getting worse every year.

Similarly, eating policies is too powerful.

In the blink of an eye, the new year is here, and Jingtai's sixty-first year is about to pass.

This year's fiscal revenue exceeded 30 billion.

But for the first time, a fiscal deficit appeared.

There have been surpluses in these years, but this year it is in deficit for the first time because there is a lot of investment this year. The four major projects, entertainment, and beverage industries are all investment hot spots.

In the emperor's harem, only Concubine Tan was left alive.

Because the emperor stopped accepting new people after he reached the age of fifty. There was no new person in the harem for more than thirty years, and the concubines were not as lively as the emperor, so they all died one after another.

Concubine Tan just turned seventy this year, and the emperor promoted her to imperial concubine.

As the only remaining concubine in the palace, she had been idle for many years. Like the emperor, she concentrated on maintaining her health and writing books.

In her spare time, she would also explain medical books in the Nüshutang.

Folks respectfully call her the female medical saint.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, the emperor sent Tan Yunxian back to the palace, leaving the prince and grandson to talk in secret.

No one knows the content of the conversation.

But it seems to be related to surrender.

On National Day, the prince went to the palace and cried, asking the emperor not to give in.

This can stir up a thousand waves with one stone.

The old emperor felt that he had been in power for too long and wanted to abdicate the throne to the prince. At first, the prince thought it was a temptation from the old emperor.

But I found that the old emperor really wanted to give in, and it was not like he was talking about it.

Officials of the Zhanshi Mansion advised the prince not to accept the abdication because the old emperor had no fault. Not only did he have no fault, he was still an emperor like an emperor throughout the ages. He was extremely respected and loved by the people, and the people respected the emperor as Ming Xiangrui.

How many people worry that after the death of the old emperor, the good old days will never return.

If this news spreads, his position as prince will easily be lost.

Zhu Jianqi didn't think much about it at first, but when his aides told him, he was so frightened that he quickly went to the palace to ask the emperor not to give in.

Sure enough, when the news came out that the old emperor had abdicated, there were rumors among the people that the prince was unfilial.

Even students from Jiangwu Hall and Guozijian spontaneously went to Xihua Gate to cry and remonstrate, begging the emperor not to abdicate the throne and begging the emperor to live a long life.

Not just two colleges, but all the universities and colleges in the capital came to cry.

Many private factories actually went on strike because of the emperor's concession, and spontaneously went to the streets to kneel and beg the emperor to continue to be in power. The streets and alleys of major cities were crowded with kneeling people, and the sounds of crying and howling could be heard everywhere.

This is the first time I heard that the emperor abdicated but the people did not agree.

The Central Committee thought it was instigated by local officials.

After investigation, it was found that the people were spontaneous, which is enough to illustrate the old emperor's popular sentiment.

People all over the country took to the streets and begged the emperor not to give in.

The prince was also kneeling outside the Yangxin Hall.

The emperor himself was confused.

Times have changed, people's wisdom has awakened, and the divine right of kings is no longer feasible. His original intention is to stabilize the prince while he is alive, and the Zhu family will continue to exist.

Unexpectedly, his abdication would have such a terrible impact on the people.

In almost every city and rural area, people spontaneously protested. Some people went to the capital and went to Xihua Gate in person to cry and remonstrate, hoping that the emperor would take back the imperial edict.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Beijing was shut down for a whole day.

The streets were full of people kneeling, and cries could be heard throughout the capital.

The momentum is huge and the scene is spectacular.

"How can I bear the love of people all over the world?"

Zhu Qiyu rarely went to the morning court and looked around the ministers: "To summon the world, I will comply with the promise of the people in the world and will not mention the matter of abdication."

"As soon as I am here, the Ming Dynasty will develop forward."

"As long as I live, I will take care of the people. The happy life of the people will always be in my heart, and the development of the Ming Dynasty will always be in my heart."

"My lords, prepare a decree."

The courtiers also breathed a sigh of relief.

The old emperor suddenly wanted to abdicate, which also caught the officials by surprise.

In fact, the courtiers and the old emperor had a tacit understanding of each other. Everyone was used to the old emperor sitting in the sky, but they were not used to it when the prince replaced him.

Because the old emperor was really willing to delegate power.

During the Jingtai Dynasty, the power of cabinet ministers, governors and nobles was the greatest in all dynasties.

Working under this person, many ministers felt like a fish in water.

The prince has been in power for many years, and everyone knows the prince's character. Once the prince ascends the throne, life will be difficult for everyone.

The great-grandson has the look of a wolf and cannot share wealth and honor.

Therefore, both the government and the public did not want the old emperor to give in.

Even if it is, the old emperor has just become the Supreme Emperor, which is no different from now. Now the old emperor does not go to court very much. All government affairs are handled by the prince. He is only responsible for checking major matters.

But the Supreme Emperor is the Supreme Emperor, and his words are not fair and tactful. Both the government and the public still support the emperor's continued reign.

Zhu Qiyu himself never expected that he would be so popular among the people.

"The eyes of the people are sharp."

"Don't treat the people as fools. Whoever treats them well and whoever treats them badly is clear in their hearts."

"Prince and grandson, after you ascend the throne, you must pay attention to the public sentiment. The public sentiment cannot be disobeyed."

Zhu Qiyu returned to Yangxin Hall.

The prince felt uncomfortable.

His father finally loved him once and gave up the throne, but he was ruined by the common people.

In fact, he didn't understand it either. The old man was in Zen position for no reason. Why?
It was the Crown Princess who gave him the answer: "The old man wants to stabilize the Ming Dynasty and move forward. He is worried that you will not be able to secure the throne after you succeed to the throne."

"How could it be? I have been in power for more than 20 years and I know the operation of the government very well. How could I not be able to secure the throne?" Zhu Jianqi felt that the old man was unfounded.

"Not necessarily. Folks are now highly open-minded."

"You can no longer fool the people by using the divine right of kings."

"Look at the old man, he is so popular among the people, don't you really feel scared?"

The Crown Princess said helplessly: "Today the people can force the old man not to give in, but can they force you to abdicate tomorrow?"

Zhu Jianqi's heart skipped a beat: "This, this...how is this possible?"

"The old man has seen this, so he wants to abdicate and become the Supreme Emperor, and let you ascend the throne as the Emperor, so that the people of the world will accept you."

The princess sees clearly.

The emperor has become a scapegoat today, and you have to shoulder everything.

The old emperor had a strong spine and could carry the entire Ming Dynasty on his back.

Can the prince?

unable.

Therefore, the old emperor was worried that there would be problems with the succession of the throne, so he let the prince succeed to the throne in advance. He personally supported the prince to ascend the throne, stabilized the court, and made the people accept the new king.

As a result, the public opposition was too loud.

The old emperor was not allowed to abdicate at all.

really.

After the emperor's decree, the whole city was immersed in extreme joy. Even the entire Ming Dynasty and the whole world were in extreme joy.

The feudal king is also afraid.

The old emperor's reign can help the vassal king stabilize the domestic situation. Once the prince ascends the throne, will he take care of his younger brothers? No more.

The whole world will not allow the old emperor to abdicate.

They even hoped that the old emperor would live a long life.

Sincerely, what the people want.

The prince secretly went to the street to take a look around, and found that the people were in extreme excitement. After tea and dinner, they were all discussing the matter and thanking the old emperor.

Even in the capital, there are more and more immortal tablets for the old emperor. Look at those crooked words, it is a spontaneous act of the people.

This scene made him shudder.

When did his father have such a terrible influence among the people?

The people took the initiative to deify the emperor.

Now the people have become wiser and have understood the connotation of the relationship between the emperor and the people, which is the relationship between ruling and being ruled.

How can any of the ruled class truly support the ruler?

But now the people really support the old emperor.

I sincerely support it and support it to the extreme.

It's as if the Ming Dynasty's sky collapsed when the old emperor died.

Zhu Jianqi thought about the day when the old emperor passed away, it was very likely that the people would become vegetarians, not by force, but voluntarily. There was no telling how many people would take the initiative to follow the emperor.

After he succeeded to the throne, everyone among the people would compare him with his father, and they would compare everything.

Why is he comparing himself to his father?

It's incomparable, nothing can be compared.

Everyone in the government and the public will look at him with critical eyes and compare him with the old emperor in every aspect.

There is a father who is an emperor throughout the ages, he is Alexander.

When he can't compare with anything, the people will ridicule him and miss the late emperor even more. There will even be extreme people who will oust him from the throne.

Don't underestimate the wisdom of the people in this era. The people will not overthrow the old Zhu family, but they need a wise king, like the old emperor, to lead the Ming Dynasty forward and lead them towards a better life.

But Zhu Jianqi can't do it.

At this moment, Zhu Jianqi felt the fear of cold hands and feet.

He had always thought that the obstacle to his throne was his father.

Now I realize that it’s the people’s will.

It's your own ability.

His father now wants to give him the Zen position, but the people do not agree, and the government and the public do not agree.

Zhu Jianqi suddenly looked down.

I found that not only I was not good, but my son was not good either.

His son is a qualified heir, but he is only qualified, and he is far from being like the old emperor.

The old emperor’s wild ideas can create several industries and feed millions of people.

Can Zhu Youqi do it?
Probably not.

Zhu Jianqi knew his grandson better than the old emperor. As his own son, he imitated the old emperor in every aspect. In fact, painting a tiger would not be the opposite of a dog.

He may be ruthless and capable, but he has no heart.

The old emperor employed people in an eclectic way and was extremely trusting. He dared to let millions of troops go outside the territory. Who has the courage?

The most frightening thing is that the old emperor doesn't care.

However, supplies continued to be transported to Ottoman.

When Wang Qiong was defeated, he was defeated. He just reprimanded him and transferred Wang Xian, and then he was gone.

Therefore, Wang Qiong was able to achieve a great victory in the Second Ottoman War.

Zhu Jianqi definitely can't do it, but can Zhu Youqi do it?

Absolutely not!

This is also the reason why officials in the DPRK do not want the old emperor to abdicate. It is comfortable to work under such a master.

Li Dongyang came out of Beijing to serve as the governor of six provinces. Although he had no military power, he controlled the economic and administrative power of the six provinces, plus an investment of 20 billion.

If Li Dongyang really wanted to rebel, wouldn't he be able to recruit troops with the money in his hands?

There is a military factory in Shenyang.

Who has the courage to give such great authority to a minister?

The old emperor dared.

Because the Northeast will not rebel.

The people are well fed and clothed, so why should they rebel against you?
Are the herdsmen on the Mongolian grasslands naturally rebellious? No, of course they rebelled if they had no food to eat, and of course they were willing to rebel if they were robbing people.

Now, why don’t the herdsmen rebel?

Because you can live a good life with the money you earn from herding. There is more to graze than to rob, so why should you rob?

Seeing that the old emperor was about to abdicate, the herdsmen in Mobei cried in the streets.

why?
I'm worried that my good life is gone.

They used to herd cattle, but they didn't have enough to eat every year. Now they still go herding, making a lot of money, and they can go out to work. Those who don't want to work go on pastoral tourism.

The money I made was more than what I had robbed before, and it was all legal income. I had six insurances and one housing fund, and I could make money for a lifetime. I could spend it how I wanted, and go and play wherever I wanted. Where could I find such a good life?
The grassland dynasty and the farming dynasty have been fighting for thousands of years.

There is no difference between victory and defeat, it is nothing more than the east wind overpowering the west wind, and the west wind overpowering the east wind.

In the end, it was defeated by capital.

These sworn enemies now eat in the same pot, and they are still enjoying their meals. The old emperor made the pot, so who wouldn't worry about it disappearing?

Why after fifty years in Jingtai, there was no civil rebellion at all.

Because you are rich, barefoot people are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Now everyone wears shoes. Who is willing to give up his own life to help others?
Economy is the main tone of this era.

Whoever makes the people live well will have a stable throne.

Even if Li Dongyang would not rebel or have the ability to rebel, Zhu Jianqi would definitely not dare to delegate power to Li Dongyang.

Without the old emperor's broad-mindedness and courage, the economy would not be able to do well.

Economic war is also a war without smoke.

The old emperor could play well because he dared to employ people, dare to reform, and dared to delegate power.

Obviously in a good situation, the old emperor dared to overturn and start over, just like real estate is obviously enough to make money, but the old emperor had to put funds into the real industry and pull out of real estate.

Who has this kind of courage?

In the next few days, Zhu Jianqi was confused.

Finally, he got seriously ill and became sick with worry.

The old emperor sent his imperial physician to take a look, suspended him from his duties as an official, and asked him to recuperate for a few days, while his grandson temporarily took over the affairs of state for him.

"The prince seems to be frightened by public opinion." Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly.

The strange thing is that there is little discussion among the people about the prince's illness. At this time, they seem to be still immersed in the joy of refuting the emperor's Zen position.

It is a great honor for the subjects of the world to be able to participate in and discuss government affairs.

Taisun made arrangements for him in the morning and dusk, and came to pay his respects every day.

"How is your father's health?" On the day of the Lantern Festival, the old emperor was reading the comic book One Piece.

"Back to grandpa, my father's health is getting worse. The imperial doctor said it was a heart disease. My grandson has tried to persuade him, but he still can't look away."

Zhu Youqi was also a little panicked.

The old emperor's influence among the people is terrible.

Previously, everyone thought it was funny when the old emperor made himself a god.

As a result, the abdication incident made the government and the public aware of the power of God, and the people took the initiative to praise the emperor as a true god.

He was also frightened.

After he succeeds to the throne, he will have to compete with Emperor Jingtai in everything. Why should he compare with his grandfather?

And after comparison, he is obviously a good emperor, but he will be compared to a mediocre lord, and his mentality will probably explode, and finally he will give up on himself and become an otaku in the palace.

There is also a possibility that under the instigation of public opinion, he also abdicated the throne and retreated to the second line.

"I see that he has white hair, and I don't want to scold him anymore."

Zhu Qiyu said: "He is only fifty-four years old this year. When I was the same age, I would read memorials every day, and I would decide everything in the world with just one word."

"State affairs, harem affairs, and feudal state affairs must all be handled by me."

"Do you think it was difficult for me or for him?"

"If you don't live up to expectations, you don't look for your own reasons, you try to catch up, but you frighten yourself. How can you be a real man?"

"You go back and tell him that I will grant him a holiday until the dragon raises his head, and then he will come back to deal with the government affairs."

Zhu Youqi quickly said yes.

In the past, he also felt that his father's mental quality was too poor.

But after seeing the emperor's terrifying appeal, he realized that his father had done the right thing.

If it were him, he wouldn't be able to bear the pressure.

When serving in the palace, I originally felt that the old emperor had too much aura. Now that the people have deified the emperor, there is no ghost until the pressure is low.

When the news reached the East Palace, Zhu Jianqi burst into tears: "The old man is an emperor for eternity, and I am a waste for eternity!"

"Why are you comparing me to him?"

"No matter how inferior I am to him, I have been in power for more than 20 years, and I have never made any mistakes or omissions. I work conscientiously. If there is no merit, then there is no hard work at all?"

"Why can't you see my strengths?"

"It is my sorrow to have such a father."

Zhu Jianqi's face looked haggard.

The illness is not serious, but years of dissatisfaction have been vented, and the vitality of the body seems to have been drained.

He worked so hard to govern, so he was competing with his father.

He also wants to compare with his father.

As a result, the people taught him a vivid lesson.

Ever since he fell ill, the public seemed to have automatically ignored him. Few people mentioned him, and even if they did, they had nothing good to say.

He read every single one of the comments about him.

After reading it, I cried even more.

He could have cared less about public opinion, but he was careful and sensitive, and thought that his hard work was a great success. He also wanted to see what the public thought of him, and as a result his mentality collapsed.

The Crown Princess stood at the entrance of the palace, expressing her helplessness.

The prince saw no one.

Recently, all the court officials came to visit the prince, but none of them were seen. He felt that he was too embarrassed to see anyone, and he didn't want to listen to those hypocritical consolations.

Her son also came to visit, but the prince scolded him and made him kneel outside the palace for an hour before telling him to get out.

The princess was angry and helpless.

The prince got into the corner of the bull and couldn't get out at all.

At this time, she seemed to see Yu Jia, and she thought she was dazzled. The old man had not left the Yangxin Palace for many years, so why did he suddenly appear in the East Palace?

The personal eunuch serving the emperor ran over quickly and asked the East Palace to greet him.

With an excited smile on her face, the Crown Princess immediately called to the East Palace to greet her. After bowing, she personally waited outside the royal chariot to support the old emperor.

Zhu Qiyu was supported by the Crown Princess and Zhu Youqi, one on the left and the other on the right, and walked into Xu Qin Palace.

"My daughter-in-law is waiting outside the palace." The princess did not dare to go in.

Although he had the support of his father-in-law, the couple lived their lives together. If he offended the prince, he would be unhappy for himself.

She is a smart woman who understands the standards between husband and wife.

Besides, she was old and fading, so she relied on her son to support her in the palace. The old emperor would eventually leave earlier than the prince, and then no one would be able to support her.

"You can wait outside the palace."

Zhu Qiyu walked into Xu Qin Palace. He had never lived in this palace and rarely visited it. He was not familiar with this palace.

"I said, don't see anyone, get out!" When Zhu Jianqi heard the footsteps, he turned his head angrily, facing the outside with his buttocks, and yelled.

"Am I missing too?"

Hearing the old emperor's voice, Zhu Jianqi thumped and tried to sit up, but ended up falling to the ground, extremely embarrassed.

He never expected that his biological father would leave the Heart Cultivation Hall for his own sake.

He was both delighted and horrified.

Worried that his father would scold him again.

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty." Zhu Jianqi got up and knelt down to salute. He was panting heavily, and it was obvious that he was seriously ill.

Zhu Qiyu looked at the sick look on his eldest son's face, patted his shoulder gently, and helped him up: "Qi'er, I still remember when you were young, your mother made things difficult for me, and you were the one who helped me out every time."

Zhu Jianqi's nose felt sour when she mentioned her mother.

Zhu Qiyu sat on the bed and pulled him to sit down too: "When your mother left, I didn't even dare to see her. She must have hated me in her heart."

"She has her whole heart attached to me, but in the end, her husband is no longer her husband, and her queen is no longer her queen. It's so tragic."

"She always said that we, as a big family, should live a good life."

"Alas, it turns out that one after another, they all abandoned me and went to be happy on their own."

"Qi'er."

"I know that I have been too harsh on you over the years, which has caused problems with your mentality. I always scold you, so you also depreciate yourself and look down on yourself."

"Father and son are enemies. When your mother was here, she was still able to mediate the relationship between you and me."

"But your mother left early."

"My thoughts are on state affairs. My education for you is a royal education and a prince's education. I did not pay attention to your physical and mental health. I was negligent."

Zhu Jianqi was stunned.

He didn't expect that his father would actually apologize to him.

"You are the prince I personally selected and you were trained by me."

"To be honest, I have always been satisfied with you."

"It is true that your abilities are average, but you have made no mistakes in handling government affairs over the years. You can be said to be in compliance with the regulations, and you can be regarded as the King of ZTE."

"Even sometimes, you have a clearer mind than me. I am prone to be impulsive, but you are not. You have been as steady as an old dog in handling government affairs over the years."

"Actually, all your masters have secretly praised you, but I can't listen to them."

"I always compare you with me."

"You too, always compare me with you."

"So, I feel that you are not qualified to be a prince, and you also feel that you are not qualified to be a prince."

"Ever since you got sick, I've been thinking, where did I go wrong?"

"I finally figured it out in the past few days."

"I shouldn't use my standards to measure you."

"My standards are not the only standards. Every emperor has a different way of governing. Why should I be harsh on you?"

"Your way of governing may not be bad, and my way may not be suitable for the development of the future era."

"Qi'er, I have really been angry with you all these years. I feel that you, the prince, are not worthy of your title, but I have ignored your strengths and failed to see your shining points. It is my fault."

Zhu Jianqi was completely stunned: "Dad, daddy?"

Is his father going crazy?

How could the always strong Emperor Jingtai say such soft words? Admit your mistake to him? how could be? The old emperor had always looked down upon him, the prince. What kind of evil was this?
