Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king

Chapter 396 The nature of reform, the real reason why Ming Dynasty can rule the world

Grand Concubine Xie Xueyi has sassy short hair.

The old emperor was shocked.

"Grandpa Huang, my grandson cut his hair because he thought the weather was too hot. When he married, he followed his husband, and Sun Chen also cut his hair." Xie Xueyi's face was filled with flattery, and her little hands were diligently tapping the old emperor's legs.

"You two are scolded by everyone in the world, don't drag me into the water." Zhu Qiyu immediately understood why the grandson was here.

"Grandpa Huang, without your support, how dare Sun Chen dare!" Xie Xueyi rubbed the old emperor's shoulders.

"That boy Zhu Youqi said it was my idea?"

Zhu Qiyu's face turned dark: "Go and call the prince, hang him up and beat him!"

Hair is the root of the Han people.

It is a sign of filial piety to receive the care of one's body, hair, and skin from one's parents.

But why don't you use your brain? Why was he not assassinated when he was over eighty years old? I can still be the emperor safely!
Is it because he is standing on the altar?

Yes, the old emperor did kill many, many people.

No other meaning! Don’t think too much, everyone!

Because he has never violated the interests of those in power, yes, he has never violated them. In fact, he is still protecting the interests of those in power!

But I have never seen that the root of this matter is that the old emperor just deviated history in one direction and never carried out reforms! It did not push Ming Dynasty to develop in other directions! What is developed is the economy, the economy, nothing more!

Even if he is willful occasionally, he only kills a few innocent people. He has not touched the foundation of any vested interest group, and he will not touch it at all!

You know, he is the emperor, and the emperor must maintain Confucian orthodoxy. If Confucian orthodoxy disappears, he will still be a shitty emperor. Where will the legal system come from?
He always talks about cracking down on evil gentry, but in fact, he is the biggest gentry leader in the world!

If it runs normally according to the historical trajectory, the Zhu family will benefit the most! It’s the royal family! It’s him Zhu Qiyu!

There can’t be any!

He only attacked the gentry without bureaucracy. He only attacked the wealth of the gentry family, but he never attacked the political status of the gentry family!
On one side, he stole money from the gentry, and on the other side, he gave factories to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

How can he be scolded by everyone in the world? Even the Wenxuan King could not calm down the scoldings of the scholars.

What other rules are better than the current rules? there is none left!

Because, everyone is in the same group!

Is it because he has great achievements?
Is it because he is the emperor?

It's no problem for the people who work hard and cut off their hair because they are uneducated. If students who accept the new culture cut their hair short and they are considered trendy, it's no problem. Anyone among the people who cuts their hair has no problem. .

He deviated from the historical trajectory just to make the Ming Dynasty immortal, nothing more!

It is precisely because of these that the government and the public can let the old emperor do whatever he wants, and can let the old emperor kill people!
Because, killing one person is for the benefit of more people! It's to protect the rules and regulations! This is an agreed upon thing!
Who has ever seen the old emperor challenge Confucianism?

The old emperor killed everyone who stood in his way!

Therefore, stupid people only see the old emperor's reforms!

It also represents the Confucian rule over the Ming Dynasty.

Who has ever seen the old emperor respecting Buddhism and despising Confucianism?
Who has seen the old emperor eradicate the families of important ministers in the court?
Never before!

Hello, hello, hello everyone, only then can the throne be stable!

Vested interest groups can all benefit, and his throne will never be shaken!

However, Taisun represents the royal family and the future emperor!
He took the lead and cut off his hair!
What means?
Are we going to abandon Confucian orthodoxy? You still have to give up your Zhu family’s imperial heritage! The most important thing is that the Ming Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety and law. Your grandson took the lead in being unfilial. Are you trying to challenge Confucian orthodoxy?
So the old emperor panicked.

He never thought about handing over the throne and not becoming the world's first gentry leader, nor did he think about opening up his mind to the point of destroying himself!

Because he is the person in the world who should uphold the rules the most! He is the one who is most afraid of breaking the rules!
If you break this set of rules, the first person to die is the emperor and the royal family! It’s the Ming Dynasty!

The old emperor was reforming and marrying at the same time!
Which family of civil and military officials married to the old emperor is not extremely rich? Which company is not a vested interest? Which family has not become its own people?

I never thought about losing the throne and losing the Zhu family!

Haha, neither!

He always wants to attack the die-hards and open up new ideas. In fact, the biggest die-hards in the world are the Zhu family, and the ones who should be defeated the most are the Zhu family!

On one side, he is developing new ideas, but on the other side he is clinging to old ideas!

In this world, the only ones who truly support him on the throne are those with vested interests, and others do not support him at all!

But they are just stumbling blocks on the road to wealth!
Why is it so easy to open the sea? Why has the policy of opening the sea never wavered for more than 40 years? Because everyone is making a lot of money!

This is the essence of politics!

He is the person in the world who should uphold orthodoxy the most! The entire Zhu family and the entire vested interest group must be protected!
Therefore, he attacked the gentry, forced immigration, emphasized agriculture and commerce, and forced the opening of the sea. It seemed that he was on the opposite side of the scholar-bureaucrats.

Therefore, although he seems to be deviant, he is actually within the rules!

It was just a forced eviction, but he also made the Kong family a prince!

He opened the sea for trade here, and allowed people all over the world to trade there.

Because reform will destroy you! The Zhu family will be wiped out, and the Ming Dynasty will be wiped out!
The meaning of the existence of imperial power is not to protect the stability of the throne, but to protect the vested interests of those in power!

Protect one group and exploit another group, this is the truth!
Let’s talk about the Yu Qian family. They used to have only a few walls, but now the Yu Qian family has assets worth billions! It’s still a clear asset!

When he was forced to move to the Confucius family, he was scolded by literati for half his life.

Why did the government and the public oppose opening up the sea in the past? It was because opening up the sea only enriched the royal family and did not benefit the people of the world.

Nowadays, everyone can do trade, especially the powerful people of the current dynasty. Who doesn’t participate in maritime trade? Who doesn’t make a lot of money?

Isn’t this faster than corruption?
In the past, everyone could spend a few taels of silver, but now who doesn’t have hundreds of millions?

Everyone has benefited!
Because the old emperor leads them forward, everything is getting better, so everyone supports the old emperor, so the old emperor is the big brother who takes the lead!
Why did the old emperor confer more than 40 vassal titles, and no one in the government or the public objected!

Why did the old emperor send troops to fight every day, but the important ministers only complained but did not object?

Why is it that no one rebels despite the army being thousands of miles away?
Because the old emperor gave me enough benefits!
Forty-one princes were all married to the daughters of the families of civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and twenty-seven princesses were all married to the sons of ministers of the Manchu Dynasty!

Hundreds of royal grandsons are all married to the daughters of important ministers and ministers! Hundreds of princesses are also married to the sons of princes!
This is binding!
Everyone was tightly tied together by the old emperor.

As for the Gongqing family, they don't put their eggs in one basket, giving them a way out.

Important ministers and ministers served as high-ranking officials in the Ming Dynasty, while their descendants went to vassal states to become high-ranking officials. Their families blossomed and bore fruit all over the world. Isn’t this enough?

Indeed, no one from Gongqing’s family is the king.

But isn’t the thousand-year-old family fragrant?

Why did the old emperor send important ministers to the vassal state to form a central court? Isn't it to give their family a chance to develop!

If these backbone ministers could not get high positions in the country for a while, and their children could not marry into the royal family, they would go to the vassal country and marry the vassal king.

If he returns to his country and becomes a central figure, isn't this another political family?

Precisely because the emperor created countless political families, no one opposed his reforms and everyone supported them!

This is also the reason why the army has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and no one in the government or the public opposes it!
What are you objecting to?

This is a contribution to your own family! Create a happy life for yourself!

Why didn't the army rebel?

The middle and high-level people in the army can also marry the feudal king, while the bottom people can plunder at will. Everyone has benefited, so why rebel?

The old emperor was very generous to his lords. During the Jingtai Dynasty, he created thousands of earls!
No one thinks Earl is worthless!

Because the Earl of Ming Dynasty will not be demoted! Hereditary, regardless of succession, rest with the country!
Moreover, if they marry the vassal king, wouldn't it be nice for one branch of their descendants to serve as lords in the vassal country, with several lords per family?
Only a fool would rebel!
Where can I find such a generous emperor?
In recent years, the method of ennobling knights has not been changed due to changes in the way of war. The old method of ennobling knights is still implemented. As long as you have made meritorious service, you will be knighted. It is extremely fair.

Those soldiers at the bottom, who plundered casually, made a lot of money. They got pensions when they died and became disabled. They got retirement pay when they retired, and they got a lot of military salary subsidies.

The imperial court has never given out a penny less because of who makes more money.

Even during the war in the vassal country, many people stayed in the vassal country and became landlords. What good life was there? Why rebel?

It was the natives who rebelled!

The Ming army made meritorious deeds after killing him, and made money!
The annual military expenditure was extremely huge, and the old emperor never saved this money. He also encouraged the army to kill the enemy enthusiastically, and he was awarded titles and titles where necessary, and hereditary inheritance.

For example, the soldiers at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty were given an egg, a pound of meat, and two pounds of rice a day. They were occasionally given half a pound of milk or goat's milk. They also received extra meals during wartime. They received 2000 yuan in monthly military pay. All seizures were divided into and %, and the soldiers received %.

Excellent soldiers were selected to study martial arts, and those who came out were all low-level officers.

The worst middle-level officers are hereditary, and the better ones can get a knighthood.

Those soldiers who surrendered would burst into tears after eating the food of the Ming army. Not to mention the military pay, they couldn't even eat enough.

With this kind of treatment, no country can afford it.

Just on food alone, the Ming Dynasty spent as much money as the military expenditures of major European countries like Germany and France in ten years.

Not only did the old emperor have enough food, he also continued to pay subsidies.

Military households and family members of military personnel receive subsidies during annual holidays.

In the past, military households represented low social status, but now military households represent superiors. The old emperor continued to improve the social status of military households.

Military households are subsidized for buying a house, housing, heating, getting sick, and giving priority to military households when looking for a job, etc.

Don't talk about officers. The life of an officer is more comfortable. Who doesn't live in a small mansion, who doesn't have a few concubines, and who doesn't have millions.

Therefore, the army is out there and will not rebel.

There is no chance of mutiny. One is that the soldiers at the bottom will not follow in the rebellion, and the other is that the armies are mixed with the troops of the vassal state, and there are vassal states watching eagerly to supervise.

Who dares to rebel?

This is the old emperor's confidence.

The old emperor's reforms seemed to mess up the Ming Dynasty, but in fact nothing changed!

What changes is the world! It is other countries that have changed!
This is why the old emperor's throne is as secure as Mount Tai, and this is also the fundamental reason why everyone in the world opposes his abdication!
Because the prince can't do it!
The prince was very dissatisfied with the solidification of classes. The prince was very dissatisfied with the lavish spending in the army. The prince was very dissatisfied with the vassal state's attitude towards the Ming Dynasty!
He has made this clear!

But does he have the ability to change?
No!
Why can the old emperor make his throne as stable as a rock?
Why can he live so long without anyone trying to harm him?
Normally, it is normal for a pampered person like the emperor to live to be seventy or eighty years old, but why did the Ming emperors live so short?

Because changing an emperor will be beneficial to everyone in the world.

Because the new emperor ascends the throne, some people have the merit of following the dragon.

But Jingtai Dynasty did not say this.

All interest groups are worried that the old emperor is dead, and those non-interest groups are not even qualified to contact the emperor.

This is also the only benefit of class solidification.

The funniest thing is that Zhu Qiyu’s death will do no good to the world at all!

It’s not good for everyone in the world!
Regarding vested interest groups, will the prince still tolerate them after he ascends the throne? For the lower-level soldiers, will the military expenditures be so generous after the prince ascends the throne? Will Ming Dynasty still be so tolerant to the people of the world?

Therefore, Zhu Qiyu was asked for his pulse once every two hours. Not only was he afraid of death, but all the ministers and people in the world were also afraid of his death!
Not only the imperial doctors took the emperor's pulse, but also the civil and military students from all over the dynasty ran into the Yangxin Hall to take the emperor's pulse.

why?
As long as he survives, everyone is safe and life is easier.

Once the prince ascends the throne, the existing rules will be broken to pieces!
Moreover, the prince has no ability to reshape the rules or solve problems. He will only make Ming Dynasty chaotic!
So people in the world are afraid that the old emperor will die.

Throughout the civil and military dynasties, those stubborn old men, such as Wang Shu, Ma Wensheng, Yu Zijun, Yang Xin, Li Jin, etc., who were not even the crown prince, ran to the Yangxin Palace every now and then. They were scolded by the old man casually, but they were still happy. of.

They are eighty or ninety years old. Even if they have feelings of monarch and minister, why do they still come here to be scolded?

Isn’t it just to look at the old emperor’s body?

Because the old emperor's life involves not just one family, but thousands of families.

Like Yang Xin, his daughters are all married to princes, and some of his grandchildren are still princes of vassal states, and he himself has huge military and political influence in the Fergana Basin.

He didn't like the prince at all, and he complained of illness every morning.

Then he came to Yangxin Hall to be scolded.

The old emperor scolded him worse than his son, but Yang Xin was happy with it and said that when the old emperor left, he would follow him.

why?
Because the prince cannot achieve the old emperor's unreserved trust in the Yang family!

Just look at his sons and you will know that among his three sons, logically the son of the Duke should be in charge of the capital camp, but the prince didn't.

Yang Xin didn't care about him, he just pulled him down if he didn't need it. Anyway, my Duke couldn't lose him.

A famous general is not a pig or a dog, he also has a temper.

Why was it that the Jingtai Dynasty had so many famous generals that the Duke of the State granted more than twenty titles? Why?
Because the old emperor dared to use it and dare to trust it.

How many times did Yang Xin lose battles that year? Did the old emperor just scold him and belittle him? No, famous generals are learned from defeats bit by bit.

The prince doesn't have this kind of trust.

For example, Wang Shu and Yun Wen and Yun Wu were top generals and top ministers. They were in charge of the Ministry of War in the past few years and the Ministry of Personnel in the past two years.

But after the prince came to power, he gradually ignored him and began to use new people.

This makes the old minister feel chilled.

If Wang Shu is wrong, that's okay.

But Wang Shu is not at fault. Wang Shu's ability and vision are among the best in the world. Such a person is the mainstay of the court. With him in charge, how many things can be saved.

But the prince didn't believe him.

Looking at the old emperor again, even Yao Kui, Shang Ren, and Peng Shi could be trusted, and even Zhu Yong and Zhu Yi could be reused.

Moreover, in order not to dishearten his ministers, the old emperor followed the older ones to serve as chief ministers first, and died with great honor and mourning.

This is the huge difference between the old emperor and the prince!
The old emperor missed his old love.

The old minister is willing to serve the Zhu family.

Because it's worth it.

It is true that the veteran's ideas are outdated and pedantic, but governing the country cannot be done by being radical. It requires the determination of the veteran to manage such a huge empire.

Look at the Jingtai Dynasty, the people standing in high positions are all old men in their seventies or eighties.

Who is not a peerless genius who studied hard when he was young and fought through thousands of troops? After forty or fifty years of officialdom training, he finally stood at the highest position and ruled the world.

Therefore, the Jingtai Dynasty opened up 15 million square kilometers of territory, and the country still operated normally with few mistakes.

Even a top genius cannot take charge of such a huge empire at a young age.

Young people always have edges and corners and lack endurance.

Only this kind of old man who has a thorough understanding of people's lives can govern such a country well. Being old and not dying is a thief. Only this kind of old thief can control the rudder of the Ming Dynasty.

The old emperor believed in these old thieves.

The prince didn't believe it.

Only when the old emperor is around can both the government and the public give full play to their individual talents.

The old emperor was a man who never took the spotlight.

It is his creed that no one should be suspicious of others.

The prince was not like this. He was indecisive and hesitated repeatedly.

The old emperor was just a middle-aged man, but he became an emperor through the ages. He relied on trust. He allowed his ministers to give full play to their talents, and that's why we had this prosperous age through the ages.

Therefore, the people of the world do not want the old emperor to die!

He is from the world!

The people of the vassal country don’t want it either!

Why can the Ming Dynasty take over the world?
Because can the Ming army fight? Or is it because Daming is rich?

neither!
The reason is the old emperor's continuous support for the vassal state!
With the fighting power of the Ming army, it was indeed possible to occupy the world, but it was only a colonization, and the vassal kings who had sealed the past were only assimilated.

Look at future generations, after being colonized for hundreds of years, they finally became independent.

Aren't you still a member of another family and have regained your independence?

They even carried out soft colonization of the original colonists, and their people began to annex the original colonists' own countries. France was all stained black, isn't it the most vivid example.

The Ming Dynasty relied on force, which is how it colonized.

If they rob them for hundreds of years, they will eventually be driven out, leaving only endless hatred.

The Ming Dynasty did not.

Slowly turning all parts of the world into the Pure Land of the Ming Dynasty.

It’s not that Zhu Qiyu’s sons are outstanding!

Instead, the old emperor gave them a steady stream of support!
Which vassal state is not a gold-eating beast?
Is it just a matter of words to clear out the indigenous people and immigrate them?

It all costs money!
The cleanup of the indigenous people cannot be completed in a year or two. Which country has not been helped by the Ming Dynasty to clean up for more than ten years, and then it will clean up for another ten years by itself. How much will it cost?

As for immigration, the cost of moving a man to Ming Dynasty is more than 100 yuan! The cost for women is more than 150 yuan!
These are our own citizens, not slaves. Just escort them onto the ship.

We also need to manage the newly occupied land for the vassal state!

Which river does not need management?
Which mountain doesn’t need management?
Which piece of land does not need maintenance?
A piece of land cannot grow food by just sowing seeds. It cannot be grown!

A piece of raw land needs to be cultivated for at least three years!
What have the people eaten in the past three years?
Doesn’t Daming have to pay for it?
Now I see the old emperor’s family background!
But they don’t know that when Jingtai was thirty years old, the old emperor didn’t have a penny, not even any money in the bank!
All of it was given to the feudal state.

The Ming Dynasty could occupy the world.

Thanks to the old emperor living a long life!

If the old emperor had lived too young, his support would have been cut off long ago. Without the support of the Ming Dynasty, which vassal state could have been established?
If you want to continue to survive, you can only integrate with the indigenous people!
Finally, it became a country that was neither black nor white!
Maybe he doesn’t even speak Chinese anymore!
Look at what the Mongols have become in Central and West Asia. Are there any traces of the original state? No more.

It took more than thirty years for the Ming Dynasty to support the vassal state!

The money spent every year exceeds one billion. Jingtai's 76th year was the year in which it spent the most, with a total investment of billion!
The banks are all empty of money. If there is a run, Ming Dynasty will collapse.

Who knows the suffering here?

The Ming Dynasty poured tens of billions and hundreds of billions into the world, and today there are many vassal states of the Ming Dynasty. The whole world is full of Ming people, and the whole world is the land of the Ming Dynasty!
Everything was shouldered by the old emperor silently.

Without tying up the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, would they be willing to bear the burden of the vassal state with the old emperor?
Without tying up the gentry of the world, would they be willing to expand their territories with the Ming Dynasty?

Now that it has blossomed, do you want to kick the gentry away?
Think of good things!
Don’t these people know it, don’t the major vassal kings know it?

How much did their father give them?

Not just give them life, just give them a feudal country, but give them everything they have now!
Would the feudal king not be grateful to their father?
As for the dignitaries of the vassal state, their roots are in the Ming Dynasty.

They have seen everything that Ming Dynasty has given them, and they have experienced it personally.

Aren't they grateful to the old emperor?

Who else could have such courage as the old emperor?
There are also people from the vassal country. When they immigrated here, how many years did the court support them? I have to admit that life is indeed not as good as in China, but after working for decades, is it worse than in China?

Not to mention the direct sons of the old emperor.

Let’s talk about the clan king.

Even the kings of Zhou and Qing killed by the old emperor, as long as they had descendants, were enfeoffed.

There are also the descendants of Prince Yiwen and the descendants of the Sin King who were imprisoned in Zhongdu, and they have all been enfeoffed.

Indeed, there is no continental territory. But they are all island countries. At least it is more comfortable than being a prince with no real power in the Ming Dynasty, right? At least he can control tens of thousands of people, have his own territory, and be the real emperor.

The most valuable thing is that the old emperor issued a decree prohibiting large vassals from invading the territories of these small vassals.

In other words, the kingdoms of these small vassal states will never be destroyed.

Isn't this enough?
Like the Prince of Kinzhi, the seals are all of the best islands, and like Hawaii, they are all big seals, but the seals are in key geographical locations.

Are they really not grateful to the old emperor?

The most important thing is that the old emperor has basically been raising them all these years!

Who else could do it?

The Ming Dynasty did not collect taxes from small vassal states, but also gave them food, drink, and welfare.

If you give money to people and industries, you should give them every penny of support.

What did the vassal state give the Ming Dynasty in return?

Nothing!
After the prince ascends the throne, will he change his policy and collect taxes from the vassal country?

Will!

The prince is so stingy!

He has no long-term vision.

If the Ming Dynasty can be the suzerain state, it must bring benefits to the vassal states.

Back then, the two suzerainty states of Korea and Annan were supported by the Ming Dynasty.

Like the current Japanese state, wasn't it also maintained by the Ming Dynasty?

The princes of the world have seen through the prince, so they don't want the old emperor to die.

Therefore, the old emperor is still alive.

I am eighty-six years old and live a healthy life.

Because no one in the world wants him to die!
If it had been any other emperor, he would have died long ago.

When a person is sick, if he takes the wrong medicine, he will die; people will always get sick and will always find opportunities, and many things are uncontrollable.

Zhu Qiyu is living well.

It proves the human heart.

As long as you let the vested interests live well, your throne will be secure, and those in power will carefully protect you and keep you alive.

anyway!

Taisun challenged Confucian authority by cutting his hair.

This is very stupid!

Anyone can challenge it, except you!

"Grandpa Huang..." Xie Xueyi quickly begged for mercy.

Zhu Qiyu said with a sullen face: "Hang the grandson on the Fengtian Gate and let the world see."

Although Xie Xueyi was unconventional, she was also a smart person. She leaned into Zhu Qiyu's ear and said, "Grandpa, you can't stop the world from criticizing you?"

"Fuck off!"

Zhu Qiyu rolled his eyes at her: "I have been the concubine in vain all these years, she just knows how to mess around, go back and think about my mistakes behind closed doors, and use my brain."

"Oh." Xie Xueyi knows how to measure things. She usually messes around with the old man. That's because the old man likes her.

Outside Fengtian Gate.

The screams of the grandson were heard.

The officials who were working in the official residence couldn't help laughing when they heard the screams.

Sure enough, that was not what the old emperor meant.

"You little bastard!" Zhu Jianqi was furious.

The great-grandson who was hung on the door was combed and his hair stood straight, like a madman!
The more Zhu Jianqi watched, the angrier and angrier she became, and she whipped hard.

By shaving your hair, are you cursing your father to die early?
Can a grandson still be emperor if he is unfilial?
Zhu Jianqi's whips fell like raindrops, and the more he hit, the angrier he became. This bastard, doesn't he know that the emperor wants to take the lead in upholding etiquette? How can he become emperor in the future with such a pig's brain?
"Dad, please be gentle, Daddy! Mom, grandpa..." Zhu Youqi kept screaming, but no one paid any attention to him even after he screamed.

The Crown Princess must have received the news.

But she never showed up.

First of all, this was the previous dynasty, and she shouldn't have appeared.

Secondly, she was also angry. Why did the Han people cut their hair just because they said they had to cut their hair? This was unfilial!
All mothers want their sons to be filial, and if someone is unfilial, she will be furious.

The most terrifying thing is that this hair represents Confucian ethics.

The emperor governed the world by virtue of ethics.

But Taisun took the lead in challenging ethics. What was he going to do? Are you starting your own rebellion?

How could I give birth to such an idiot son?

Although Yang is a great poet, she is also a politician at heart. She knows politics better than the prince.

She was a teacher at the Forbidden City Female School, and she taught by words and deeds around the old emperor, so she had an extremely good grasp of the court situation.

The old emperor whipped his grandson, and his move turned into a joke.

If you don't smoke it, it will frighten the government and the public.

It is estimated that these days have not been easy for the grandchild.

Sure enough, in the next few days, the courtiers looked at Zhu Youquan's expressions. Zhu Youquai was running into obstacles at every turn, and the emperor did not allow him to leave the palace to avoid the embarrassment of going out.

You should also wear a hat when going to court.

He was also smart and got a wig to wear, but was beaten up by the prince, while the grandson wore a wig.

As for the concubine Taisun, she was imprisoned in the East Palace and was not allowed to go out.

Xie Xueyi often made trouble.

Even his father asked someone to tell him to calm down. If he became restless, he would ask for orders to kill the grandson concubine.

Xie Qian's eyes have been red these days, angry with his precious daughter.

The courtiers all looked at him with strange eyes, "You are such a good person, why did you give birth to such an inconspicuous daughter, and you also married your grandson, will you still be able to survive in the Ming Dynasty?"

Xie Qian himself was thinking that he should have strangled this calamity daughter to death, as he was used to it.

There are literati among the people who secretly criticize the concubine.

Xie Xueyi was so angry that she cried.

It was obviously the grandson who cut his hair first. She followed her husband when she got married and shared the joys and sorrows with her husband. As a result, she was responsible for all the infamy.

She had no idea that it was the old emperor's idea to imprison her, so that she would not have to bother him all the time.

She thought the old emperor loved her very much.

She is solid.

Yang Xin came to the palace again to pay his respects.

I met the prince on the road, greeted him with a scribbled greeting, and then got into the Yangxin Hall.

"You old guy, when I'm gone, your Yang family will have a hard time." Zhu Qiyu excused him.

"Hey, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Anyway, I must go with you. If you go underground, I can still protect you."

Yang Xin laughed and said: "Your Majesty, I have found a boxing manual, and I will show it to you."

"Please pay attention to your body."

Yang Xin patted his chest and said, "I can still eat a leg of lamb, so I am in good health."

He especially liked martial arts novels and then became obsessed with martial arts.

Practice boxing at home every day.

Although Yang Xin is a famous general in the world, in fact he does not know martial arts.

I only started practicing martial arts when I was old.

After all, fighting does not rely on bravery, but on brains. There were many brave generals in the Ming Dynasty, including Xiang Yu and Lu Bu in contemporary times, but there are only thousands of generals who fight with their brains, and Yang Xin is the best among them.

"Wenshi, I plan to build a Ziguang Pavilion."

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and asked him to sit down: "There is Qilin Pavilion in the Western Han Dynasty, Yuntai Pavilion in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhaoxun Pavilion in the Song Dynasty, and Lingyan Pavilion in the Tang Dynasty. I want to build a Ziguang Pavilion."

"The generals who lived and died for me, and the civil servants who governed the Ming Dynasty for me, I want to draw portraits of them and include them in Ziguang Pavilion."

Ziguang Pavilion was built by Zhengde.

Yang Xin's eyes lit up: "Your Majesty, what's the ranking? Where can I rank?"

"Of course they are ranked. Where do you want to be ranked?" Zhu Qiyu asked with a smile.

"Hehe, the further forward the better."

Yang Xin said with a bad smile: "Some of them are already dead, let them stand in the back row. They can't jump out of the coffin board and scold me anyway, hahaha!"

Zhu Qiyu laughed: "You old guy, you come here to relieve my boredom every day, aren't you tired?"

Yang Xin, however, knelt on the ground seriously: "Without Your Majesty, I would be nothing more than a mere pawn. It was Your Majesty who selected the veteran minister among the thousands of troops, and then it was Your Majesty who trusted the veteran minister in every way, so that the veteran minister was granted the title of Duke. "

"Actually, with the veteran's talent, he is nothing more than a count."

"It's because of your willingness to reuse and give opportunities to veterans that you have achieved today's achievements."

"Don't say that I will relieve your boredom every day. You will cut my flesh every day, and I will enjoy it very much. As long as I can move for a day, I will come to the Nourishing Heart Hall to serve you every day!"

Yang Xin kowtowed vigorously, tears streaming down his face.

Zhu Qiyu was moved and said: "Then you don't have to deliberately antagonize the prince in order to gain my favor. You also have to think about future generations."

"The old minister didn't mean to make enemies, but the prince refused to use the old minister!"

Yang Xin said sternly: "Among the previous dynasty's princes, the veteran is the oldest. He should be in charge of the capital camp and protect His Majesty."

"But the prince Ren Jin is not a virtuous person, and the veteran minister is not his direct lineage. It is not interesting to stick to a cold butt with a warm face."

"Anyway, I will follow you after serving you. I have no other thoughts."

"You." Zhu Qiyu patted his head and asked him to get up.

"Let your concubines and grandchildren go to the feudal country."

Yang Xin has something else to say.

Zhu Qiyu suddenly said seriously: "This is my will."

"Old minister, I obey the order!" Yang Xin couldn't stop crying.

This is the master to whom he is loyal.

He would not favor his son and start dealing with an old minister like him just because he had a bad relationship with his son.

On the contrary, he will find a broad road for his grandson.

Three of his six daughters were married to King Zheng Zhu Jianzhu, King Shen Zhu Jianhu, and King Ning Zhu Jianhuai. Therefore, if his grandchildren went to join their uncle, their future would not be bad.

Besides, the three kings succeeded to the vassal, and as the maternal clan of the three princesses, he made a lot of political investments.

He could also send his grandson there.

But issuing an imperial edict from the old emperor are two different concepts.

He Yang Xin sent it over. He was seeking refuge with his relatives, and his status may not be very high, but the old emperor issued an imperial edict that he was a general sent by the Ming Dynasty, and your vassal country must reuse him.

"You rose to prominence in the defense of Beijing at the age of seventeen. I personally promoted you. You have been protecting me all your life. You are the person I trust most."

Zhu Qiyu pulled him: "Your prince was not given by me, but was made by you with your swords and guns."

Yang Xin was moved in his heart.

Who doesn’t want to be recognized for their glorious history?

Yang Xin's greatest military achievement in his life was to regain the Fergana Basin and allow the Ming Dynasty to completely control the Aral Sea.

"I see that you are in good health."

Zhu Qiyu said seriously: "I finally gave you a task, can you complete it?"

Yang Xin's face changed slightly, and he immediately knelt on the ground: "Old minister, I will never give up until I die!"

"It's time to recover Japan!"

Zhu Qiyu's eyes suddenly turned sharp: "I want to give you the title of General to Ping Japan. You will personally lead the troops and recover the Japanese country for me!"

Yang Xin was stunned. Are you really going to fight?
"I will send Wang Shu as the governor of Japan. You two will cooperate to recover Japan!"

Yang Xin understood, this was to give him military exploits.

No matter how the Japanese country recovered.

With Yang Xin in command, he will definitely leave a glorious mark in history.

"When you come back, I will make you king!"

Yang Xin prostrated on the ground: "Old minister, I would like to thank your majesty for your kindness!"

This is the old emperor.

If he didn't deal with the prince, the old emperor would give him another way to make great contributions to the country, and force the prince to use his descendants.

If it were any other emperor, a prince like Yang Xin should have been executed long ago.

If you have such great achievements, what are you doing with your life?
But the old emperor still wanted to give him another great contribution and send him to the throne.

How many people in the past and present have had this great talent and strategy?
"There is no war in Japan. Bring more old people there, and those who deserve to be knighted will be knighted. The prince is reluctant to part with it, but I am willing to do so."

"I have dedicated my whole life to the Ming Dynasty, why can't I still get a title?"

"With all the money in the house, I can afford to support you!"

Zhu Qiyu's words greatly won the hearts of the hereditary ministers.

The prince could not bear to be granted such a hereditary and irreplaceable title.

The title of the Ming Dynasty was inherited until the fall of Guo Zuo. It is said that the huge noble group in the Jingtai Dynasty was a huge financial burden.

The old emperor didn't care.

The prince felt sorry for money.

"I'm still here, why are you crying? I will make arrangements for you before I die."

Zhu Qiyu patted him on the shoulder: "I have sacrificed my life and blood for me for half my life, and I have dedicated my whole life to the Ming Dynasty. Is it possible that I will end up in a miserable old age?"

"I don't agree!"

"A hero must be treated like a hero!"

"If others don't give it, I will give it!"

Zhu Qiyu said loudly: "Don't worry, I will never allow any extension of favor, nor will the title be reduced."

He knew exactly what the prince had planned.

Isn't it just to wait for him to die, implement the grace order, and reduce the noble title?

This is self-destructive!

Honorable nobles and civil servants walk on two legs.

No one can be broken.

It seems that the nobles are huge, but don't look at how huge the territory of the Ming Dynasty is. Thousands of nobles may not be able to support the strategic layout of the entire world.

Besides, shouldn’t these heroes be banned?
Your Zhu family is already the emperor.

There are already more than ten thousand people.

Shouldn’t we share wealth and honor?

"Old minister, I will wait until I meet the Lord of the Ming Dynasty, fight for him my whole life, and die without any regrets!"

Yang Xin kowtowed heavily.

This is the old emperor!
Why were there so many civil servants and generals in the Jingtai Dynasty? It was because the old emperor dared to give them, and the kings and nobles could give them to them at will.

Yu Qian is the living king, Wang Yue is the living king, and Fan Guang is just a little bit more alive.

The old emperor dared to give anything and was willing to give it.

He will never treat a hero lightly.

Therefore, a scholar dies for a confidant.

The emperor replaced him with a national scholar, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty repaid him with a national scholar.

He left the Yangxin Hall with his front foot, and the news spread in the palace with his back foot, and soon reached the front court.

Recovering the Japanese country is a matter of course.

But it was handed over to Wang Shu and Yang Xin.

Doesn't this mean that the old emperor is dissatisfied with the prince's idleness of his old ministers?

The prince received a loud slap in the face.

All the veterans in the DPRK will feel gratified.

The emperor is still the same emperor.

As long as he doesn't die, heaven will not change.

Wang Shu couldn't stop crying when he heard the news. He had already returned to his hometown as an official in Shangshu. The old emperor still remembered his contribution. How could he not remember this feeling?

The emperor gave reassurance to the old ministers in the court.

Later, the prince's fourth son Zhu Youhuo was sent as an envoy to Oceania, the fifth son of the prince Zhu Youyang was sent as an envoy to North America, and the sixth son of the prince Zhu Youhu was sent as an envoy to South America.

He also sent the crown prince's seventh son, Zhu Youzhao, as an envoy to various vassal states in Asia, and the crown prince's eighth son, Zhu Youzhao, as an envoy to Africa.

A series of edicts were passed down, and Zhu Jianqi immediately came to Yangxin Hall to plead guilty.

This is Dad's dissatisfaction with his governance.
