Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king

Chapter 407: Depose the Crown Prince, Stabilize the DPRK, and Ease the Crisis

"Prince, why?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Zhu Jianqi.

Zhu Jianqi curled up his lips. He made fake statements because he wanted to give people all over the country a beautiful financial statement. To put it bluntly, it was to satisfy his vanity.

In fact, since the 1960s of Jingtai, the deficit rate has increased year after year, and last year it was close to the red line.

Because everything is going up in price.

In the ninth year of Jingtai, one kilometer of asphalt road cost only dozens of taels of silver. By the sixty-fourth year of Jingtai, one kilometer of asphalt road cost 17 yuan!

It is said that raw materials have skyrocketed in price, but crude oil is bought from abroad, and the price is clearly marked, and asphalt is the residue of petroleum, so the cost can be said to be very low.

Let’s say labor is expensive, but people say they can’t make any money.

In fact, in the 61st year of Jingtai, the first case of wage arrears occurred in the country. In the past two years, the situation of wage arrears has become more and more serious. Many migrant workers have encountered this problem to one degree or another.

But the expenditure on a section of asphalt road has been increasing year after year.

But for the sake of local development, it has to be taken out.

The project cost has obviously gone up, so why can’t the ticket prices go up?

"Why can't you grasp the key points of everything?"

"But did you really give in?"

Taking out the real money and silver made Zhu Jianqi feel distressed.

"As long as the people have confidence, they can overcome the current difficulties. Just wait until the electrical revolution develops!"

"Why fake it?"

The economy has already entered a period of stagnation. Popularizing the electrical revolution will take time and a large amount of investment. There will be a window period before the economy takes off.

The northwest does not develop science and technology, but instead asks the central government for money everywhere. Why does the central government have to support everything?
The southwest is so poor, so if you are asked to come out to work, you can just find your own way to get out. Why are you all reaching out to the court?

The people complain about difficulties every day, so isn’t it difficult for the court?

"It's better this time. Everyone in the world sees the joke of the royal family and the joke of the court!"

"You idiot!"

"Is the purpose of making government affairs public to give the people confidence? It is to let the people supervise the center. Because I see that you don't look down, that's why you want to make government affairs public and let the people of the world jointly supervise the court! This is the escape route arranged for you! "

"I said you were stupid, but you complained that my words were too insulting. Why can't you use your brain?"

As he got older, he basically looked away from everything. He thought that nothing would make him angry in this life, but unexpectedly, there was a big thunder around him.

But the people did not applaud. Instead, they scolded the court. Just because the ticket price increased and a ground handling fee was added, the people continued to curse.

Zhu Qiyu suppressed his anger.

"Look, look at them."

I am still not satisfied with these old men who eat nothing but corpses!

Zhu Jianqi pointed at the ministers kneeling on the ground: "Are you really giving in? Fake!"

“Is everything real when you’re in power?”

So what should we do if the central government refrains from making false claims in order to encourage local confidence?
Now you are telling the old emperor that I made a lie. Didn’t you agree when I made the lie?

Isn't it difficult to be the prince alone?

Zhu Jianqi didn't finish speaking.

They were dissatisfied with themselves as the prince.

“Besides, where did the economy stop?”

Let alone railways, one kilometer of railway track cost 900 yuan in the 59th year of Jingtai. In the th year of Jingtai, one kilometer of railway track cost yuan.

"You have abdicated! You have given me the Qianqing Palace!"

Even so, he still did not make up his mind to change the prince.

"Then Daming's report will be true..."

In recent years, asphalt roads and railway tracks have been basically solely owned by the palace, and all was spent on internal funds.

Zhu Jianqi knew that he had drifted away from the civil and military officials.

Zhu Jianqi suddenly laughed.

"My son, I am thinking about the Ming Dynasty."

He slowly raised his head and looked directly at Zhu Qiyu: "You didn't teach your sons and ministers these things, but you still have to take care of everything. After you take care of your sons and ministers, you take care of your grandchildren, and after you take care of the Ming Dynasty, you take care of the vassal country."

He has experienced too much in his life.

"For the sake of so-called confidence, you falsified financial reports?"

"Your Majesty, if the financial reports are not falsified, how can we inspire people? How can we give people in the world a shot in the arm?"

For such a huge territory, even if there is a train, it still takes twenty days to travel from south to north. Uneven regional development is an inevitable result. Who can guarantee equal development everywhere?
Northeastern itself is not strong enough to receive the big bonus from the central government, but it still scolds the central government. Why?

Zhu Qiyu slapped him in the face: "Idiot! The credibility of the central government is more important than any other confidence! If a person has no faith, he will not stand. If the court has no credibility, how can it govern the people?"

"Why does the electrical revolution need a few years of window period? Who taught you this? Me?"

"The responsibility is all mine, and the credit is all yours!"

"People in the world only remember your good deeds. Who will remember the good deeds I, Zhu Jianqi, have done?"

"The credit belongs to you, and the hard work belongs to the ministers. I am the only one who is recognized by the world as a waste!"

Zhu Jianqi's face was full of resentment: "Your Majesty!"

"My son, I just said a few words to you, but you started such a big fight that I couldn't get off the stage and forced me to die!"

"I've had enough of being this prince!"

“I don’t want to be one anymore!”

"My son Zhu Jianqi, I beg your Majesty to grant me death!" Zhu Jianqi suddenly knocked his head to the ground.

The extremely resentful words broke Zhu Qiyu's heart.

"You've had enough of it, you don't want to be it anymore, haha!"

Zhu Qiyu sneered sadly: "Your surname is Zhu, and you are born to bear all this. You enjoy fine clothes and fine food, and four billion living beings support you. If you just say you don't want to do it anymore and want to die, is it all over?"

"What do you want me to think?"

"What do the people of the world think?"

"What do you think of the four billion creatures who are eagerly waiting for you? Why do they support you? Why do I give birth to you? Why do I want you to be the prince?"

"You are so disappointing, you are so disappointing to me!"

The furious Zhu Qiyu began to call himself "I" again, indicating that he had made up his mind.

"I know you are weak and I know you are incompetent!"

"But I don't know that you are so irresponsible!"

"You want to die!"

"it is good!"

"I will help you!"

"Somebody come!"

"Put a fire on the Meridian Gate and burn him to death!"

"Let the people of the world see how the Ming Dynasty has such a weak, incompetent and irresponsible prince! It has failed to live up to my painstaking efforts, failed to live up to the vision of four billion living beings, and failed to live up to everything!"

"No, I don't have this son!"

"His surname is not Zhu, nor does he deserve the surname Zhu!"

boom!
The courtiers' eyes showed shock, but no one spoke.

The situation has reached a point of death between you and me, and there is no relief.

Zhu Qiyu opened his eyes, his cloudy old eyes flashed with cold light, and his waist that could not straighten straightened up, looking very domineering.

"Please forgive me, Grandpa Emperor! My father was stimulated and has mental problems. Please forgive me, Grandpa Emperor!" Zhu Youqi excused him.

"No need to ask him!"

Zhu Jianqi's tone was extremely resentful, and he kowtowed to the ground: "Thank you for your grace! I am willing to die!"

The eunuchs who were waiting did not dare to light the fire.

"I have tolerated you again and again! I have reached my limit!"

"I know that my old age will delay your accession to the throne, so I will give you the Zen throne in the 60th year of Jingtai!"

"Even if the Zen position is not successful, I will give you the Qianqing Palace and hand over the power of the world to you."

"For five years, I have not left the Yangxin Palace."

"I thought I had done my best to you!"

"What else are you dissatisfied with?"

"In all the dynasties, have you ever seen an emperor as useless as me? An emperor who surrendered the power of the world to others?"

"But you are still not satisfied! You are still resenting me! You are resenting the world!"

"You deserve to die!"

Zhu Qiyu was furious: "Zhu Jianqi, I really didn't expect you to be such a person."

"After all, you are a tiger and a wolf. If you can't be influenced by kindness and can be assimilated by emotion, a wolf will be a wolf and a beast will be a beast!"

"You were born a cold-blooded person, and you will be the same in death!"

Zhu Qiyu showed determination on his face: "Do you really think that I am eighty-seven years old and can't govern anymore? Do you really think that I can't choose a prince from among the princes and return to the country to succeed him?"

"You take yourself too seriously!"

"It is decreed that the emperor's eldest son Zhu Jianqi has a vicious and stubborn nature, has no filial piety and no virtue, and is like a jackal, tiger, and leopard. It is a non-religious crime. I have promoted him to be the prince. He is really blind. From now on, I will depose Zhu Jianqi as the prince and take away his crown prince." The surname is "Jian". From now on, Zhu Jianqi is no longer my son and has nothing to do with me. Get rid of him and the royal family. "

The edict came suddenly.

Wang Hao should have been happy, but seeing the royal family and his son reaching this point, he felt somewhat sorry for the old emperor.

Since ancient times, most of the descendants of great emperors have been unfilial. This is a law of history.

Like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, many of their sons were unfilial.

Emperor Jingtai had been forbearing for all these years, but he still couldn't feed the prince's ambition. The result was that he still reached this point, which shows that the law of history is irreversible.

"Thank you Lord for your kindness!" Zhu Jianqi was also stubborn.

Zhu Jianqi, who had never been tough in her life, became so tough at this moment.

This shows how much hatred the father and son have.

The old emperor had been forbearing enough and tolerated him enough, but he still felt that his life was an eyesore.

Even Zhu Qiyu didn't expect that his accommodation would be guilty. Do the two dragons have to not meet each other and one of them has to die?

Historically, great emperors such as Qin Shihuang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, etc. all had very bad relations with their princes, and they were all replaced by the princes in the end.

From the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the relationship between the royal family was very harmonious.

In order for the prince to succeed to the throne smoothly, he drove his other sons to the vassal state so that he would have no worries.

But he was not satisfied yet.

In order for him to enjoy the power, he took refuge in the Yangxin Hall, but he was still not satisfied.

The emperor and the prince are destined to be nemesis.

Then I'll kill you!

"Hahaha!"

Zhu Jianqi let out a strange laugh: "Without debt, I feel light. Only in this way can I feel relaxed and comfortable!"

Zhu Qiyu's face showed a stern look: "Go and gather the fire!"

"His Majesty!"

This time the courtiers disagreed.

It's okay to depose the prince, but burning the prince to death publicly will stain the old emperor's sage. It's better to escort him and imprison him.

Liu Jian gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Although the prince made a big mistake, such a blatant killing will make the people of the world speculate about the royal family. It is better to escort him to Zhongdu and imprison him."

Zhu Qiyu slowly looked at him: "It's you who forced me to change the crown prince, and it's you who asked me not to kill the prince. What do you, Liu Jian, want to do? You, go and stir up the fire!"

"Your Majesty, I am thinking of your eternal reputation." Liu Jian looked bitter.

"Go!" Zhu Qiyu had already made up his mind. If Zhu Jianqi hadn't provoked him again and again, he might not have done such a violent thing.

But Zhu Jianqi insists on teasing him, so let him see if I can do it!

"Grandpa Emperor!" Zhu Youquan is also a son of man. If he sees his own father burned to death with his own eyes, how will he behave in the future?

"you shut up!"

Zhu Qiyu hated the whole family: "You are a grandson, and you share the government with the prince. You cannot advise the prince. Now you are in your twenties, but you are useless. I don't think you should become a grandson!"

"Move out of the East Palace immediately. Whether you want to live or die, it depends on your performance."

Zhu Qiyu was really angry.

This Ming Dynasty was created by his pen and ink stroke by stroke. It is the most precious thing in his life. He does not allow anyone to destroy it, not even his own son or grandson!
Zhu Youquan was immediately speechless and did not dare to say anything to beg for mercy.

He also hates his father, so why not say a few soft words? You no longer want to be a prince, but I still want a grandson!

The problem has nothing to do with me!
He is definitely a fish in the pond, and he has ruined the throne that is certain.

"If you die, you will die. Why are you crying?"

Zhu Jianqi reprimanded Zhu Youquan: "It is better for me to die as a result of my biological father than to be the king of a subjugated country and flee in panic? Isn't that right, Your Majesty?"

"How can a commoner bark like a dog in the Yangxin Palace? Palm!" Zhu Qiyu looked fierce.

If you have seen him when he was young.

You will know that you must not provoke Zhu Qiyu or provoke him. He will go crazy. If he goes crazy, he will risk everything.

You say he cannot uphold the government, but he insists on showing it to you.

You said he didn't dare to change the prince, but he insisted on changing it to you!

Zhu Jianqi was about to speak, but with a snap, the eunuch's hand was thrown directly on his face.

"My lords, who can be the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Qiyu was too lazy to pay attention to him.

Wang Hao's eyes sparkled: "I believe that the second and third sons of the emperor are twin brothers and cannot inherit the throne. If the succession is passed, the fourth son of the emperor can be the crown prince!"

"I also believe that the fourth son of the emperor, King Shang, can be the crown prince!"

The second and third children are twins and are destined not to become princes.

The Eastern European emperor Shang Wang was the confirmed crown prince.

However, will the Shang King give up his vast empire in Eastern Europe and return to his country to become the prince?
The Shang Kingdom was definitely the overlord of Eastern Europe. Although he only had four sons, except for Prince Shang, the other three were all crowned kings and became the heads of a country.

Would such a person give up his inheritance and return to the Ming Dynasty to become a prince?

The most important thing is, do the courtiers agree?

Shang King Zhu Jianji is definitely a dominant figure. He is more skilled at fighting than Zhu Qiyu. Will he tie Ming Dynasty into a chariot?

Civil servants hate war the most.

Because war means uncertainty, means that martial arts will ride on the heads of civil servants, and even means rebellion and unrest, bringing a certain degree of turmoil to the dynasty.

From a civil servant's point of view, changing the prince is inevitable.

Choosing the King of Shang was a helpless move. The only good thing was that the Shang Prince Zhu Youyi was a political genius and did not have such big expansion ambitions.

King Shang is fifty-seven years old this year. How many years can he live?
The problem is that the old emperor is still alive.

As long as the King of Shang is beaten to death, the good days of civil servants will come.

In fact, it is also an option to establish a grandson Zhu Youqi instead of the crown prince, but there is a problem with the legal system.

His father was killed for a crime, and his throne was inherited by his grandfather, which is a bit similar to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, but it was a helpless move. Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty had no son, and Huo Guang welcomed Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.

In fact, it is possible. This is also a better choice. It does not need to destroy the balance of the vassal country, and it is still controllable for the courtiers, because everyone has watched the grandson grow up.

However, this dynasty has experience in establishing a grandson as emperor, which is a minefield that courtiers dare not touch.

If you don't want war to break out in the Ming Dynasty, it's best not to have a grandson.

The most terrifying thing is that the fourth son the emperor wants to establish is the same as Taizong. Emperor Jianwen is the grandson, Emperor Taizong is the king of Yan, now Zhu Youquan is the grandson, and Zhu Jianji is the fourth son. This kind of historical reflection is too terrible .

The old emperor probably thought so too.

So he directly removed the grandson and established the fourth son instead.

The change of crown prince this time has indeed brought uncertainty to the government and the opposition, but similarly, if there is one, there will be a second.

If the King of Shang cannot satisfy the government and the public, he can change his position to a new crown prince.

Therefore, it is necessary for the old emperor to continue to live.

Is Zhu Qiyu really not sad at all?

The prince who had been trained for more than fifty years was replaced at the drop of a hat. The country's foundation was shaken, the court was unstable, and his reputation was stained in the end.

Even though Zhu Qiyu doesn't care about the stain.

But the huge government affairs need to be shouldered by him.

"Starting tomorrow, all government affairs will be sent to Yangxin Hall for me to see." Zhu Qiyu is an extremely stubborn person.

This was illustrated by the fact that he forced Daming to go in the direction he had planned.

Even though it was difficult for him to deal with government affairs, he still gritted his teeth and dealt with it.

"I will obey your orders!"

"As usual in the morning, I will preside over it!"

Zhu Qiyu said: "Let all the subjects in the world settle down in their duties and positions. The Ministry of Rites will immediately send someone to announce that King Shang has returned to the country. Hurry!"

"Is the fire ready?"

He even wanted to burn Zhu Jianqi to death.

The court officials immediately excused him and believed that he should be temporarily escorted to the central capital after the King of Shang arrived in Beijing.

After slapping Zhu Jianqi dozens of times, Zhu Qiyu's anger eased a little.

I wanted to burn him directly.

But we must consider Zhu Youquan, the thoughts of his sons, and the speculations of the people in the world.

The most important thing is that the old emperor is low on energy and is very tired after standing for a while.

This tiger is really cheap.

"That's all, select a hall from the palace and lock him in it. No one is allowed to visit." Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and asked people to do as he was told.

"Please, Your Majesty, give me death!" Zhu Jianqi's face was red and swollen, and she wanted to die.

"Want to die? It's too easy for you. From now on, you will call Lang Qi and escort him away. He will not be allowed to commit suicide or die."

Zhu Qiyu hated his son more and more.

The son he had trained and accommodated for more than fifty years finally gave his heart to the dog.

No, feeding it to a dog will make the owner wag his tail.

But he was full of resentment towards me.

I gave him a body, gave him life, made him an emperor, and accommodated him in every way, but he was still not satisfied!
The more Zhu Qiyu thought about it, the angrier he became. When he returned to the palace, his blood pressure and blood sugar soared, making him constipated from anger.

Concubine Tan Huang helped him recuperate his body: "I am blind and chose such a bastard to be the prince."

"My beloved concubine, my tolerance for him is the best among all emperors in history."

"Whatever he wants, I will give him."

"He wants the throne, and I gave him the throne. Am I still wrong?"

"In all the years he has been in power, I have never pointed fingers. I am not Tang Xuanzong, who lost his throne, and I am not Tang Gaozu, who was deprived of his throne. I gave the throne to others myself!" "But how did he treat Ming Dynasty? ? "What did you do to me?"

"Damn! Deserve to kill!"

Zhu Qiyu was still angry.

Tan Yunxian could only sigh, and first said that it was extremely unfilial for the prince to make the emperor so angry.

"Your Majesty, you are so kind to him."

"Your other sons have all gone to inherit the vassal clan and are not in the capital."

"Everyone in the court and in the government are his followers."

"He naturally becomes arrogant when he succeeds."

"The more you teach him, the more rebellious he becomes and the more he wants to go against your teachings. That's why today's scene happened."

"Now that it's over, you should take care of your dragon body. The heavy government affairs of the previous dynasty will be burdened on you again. You can take care of your dragon body so that you can wait for the fourth child to come back and take the throne."

In fact, Tan Yunxian was full of depression.

If she had not given birth to twins, how could it be the fourth child's turn to take the throne?
If I had been cruel and strangled one of them to death, it would have been over.

However, she was not cruel at the time, and she missed the throne in the end. It was probably her fate.

"My beloved concubine, I only have you by my side." Zhu Qiyu grabbed her hand: "You and I will be together for life, and I have an unspeakable request."

"You say."

"I hope to walk in front of you. This request is too selfish and will make you bear the final loneliness, but I don't want to watch familiar people die anymore."

Zhu Qiyu's tears streaked down his cheeks.

When she was young, Tan Yunxian would definitely be resentful, but as she got older, she also understood how lonely she was. Even though her daughter was by her side, her son was not around.

She has no confidence and lives a cautious life.

She doesn't feel comfortable living in this palace.

Especially over the past year or so, the old emperor's authority has become increasingly absent, and her life has been difficult. A couple of old people just joined the group to keep warm.

"I want to go in front of His Majesty. I can't stand being so lonely." Tan Yunxian cried while hugging the emperor.

Without the support of my son, I don’t have the confidence to speak.

But the old emperor has his son supporting him, so what? Isn’t that unfilial?

When people get old, that's it, it's fate.

"Then if I go, you go with me." Zhu Qiyu hugged her and kept crying.

As people get older, they lose their ability.

So what if he is the emperor who controls the world? After all, you can’t resist the erosion of time!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Tan Yunxian cried.

Only the two of them understand the loneliness at this moment.

"A palace as big as Renshou Palace is so empty. You can move here and live with me." The only thing Zhu Qiyu has left now is a concubine.

He suddenly regretted why he didn't take care of his concubine more in these years, at least it was fashionable and could relieve his boredom in his old age.

Son, after all, is unreliable.

The news that the prince was deposed spread throughout the country, arousing the anger of the whole country. Of course, there were people who defended the prince, but they were quickly drowned out.

Starting from the next day, the old emperor, who had not attended the morning court for nearly twenty years, got up early to attend the morning court again.

The old emperor, dressed in Yanlong robe, appeared in the morning court again.

He felt very tired after hearing reports and discussions from his ministers, but he still actively participated in the discussions and slowly brought the country back off track.

The first thing discussed was the disposal of Taisun.

"Stop the title for the time being and treat it coldly. After King Shang succeeds to the throne, let him go to Eastern Europe and carve out a piece of land to become the vassal king."

Zhu Qiyu felt somewhat sorry for his grandson.

Regarding his love for his many grandchildren, he still loves his great-grandson more.

But thinking about Emperor Jianwen, the fourth uncle to his nephew, and the fourth uncle to his nephew in the contemporary era, he did not dare to easily create a grandson. He could only send the grandson to the Shang Kingdom to become the King of Shang, and the King of Shang returned to the country to become the emperor. As for the Let Zhu Youquan be resentful.

The top priority is to stabilize the court and the people of the world.

But what the old emperor didn't expect was.

People all over the world are celebrating, thinking that good times are coming.

The old emperor has not done anything in these years, but has made the people of the world worried.

"I heard that the economy has stalled? Just tell me the reason."

This is the second thing discussed.

"Your Majesty, it has indeed stagnated. Economists estimate that it must have encountered a bottleneck, which is the financial crisis..."

Wang Hao came and told everything.

The economy has encountered growth problems, which is inevitable.

However, the economy should not pursue growth blindly, but should pay more attention to the problems brought about by growth and solve these problems in order to achieve steady growth.

Otherwise, growth will be virtual growth and a bubble.

Economic development is bound to bring bubbles.

The two complement each other, which is a blessing and a curse.

From another perspective, bubbles are market confidence. The bigger the bubble blows, the greater the market confidence.

Ming Dynasty’s economic predicament is slowing growth, overproduction of products, and reduced consumption, which are typical precursors to financial crises.

There are several reasons for overcapacity. One is that the world is at the same level of competition and everyone is engaged in manufacturing. Naturally, there is less demand for the products produced by Daming;

The other is that the Ming Dynasty has a high tax rate and is not friendly to the manufacturing industry. Product prices are more expensive than those in the vassal state. When a crisis occurs and sales decline, profits further decrease;
Third, it is the impact of foreign products on domestic industries. Although domestic production capacity is already overcapacity, foreign products continue to be imported, exacerbating market overcapacity;
The fourth is the production of products that do not meet the needs of the people. To put it bluntly, they should be eliminated.

According to normal thinking, we should check for deficiencies and make up for them.

When Zhu Jianqi was in power, he increased subsidies.

This will only advance the crisis, rather than alleviate it, and may even make companies dependent on the court, which is unacceptable.

The economy of Ming Dynasty is a free and open economy.

The court's subsidies will always account for a small portion, while the larger portion depends on economic self-regulation and market rules must be respected.

If it all depends on subsidies, then why do we need private companies? Wouldn’t it be nice to turn them all into state-owned enterprises?
But without subsidies, a large number of factories will go bankrupt and the economy will collapse.

Subsidy only delays the crisis and treats the symptoms but not the root cause.

Therefore, Zhu Jianqi falsified financial statements to stimulate market confidence and promote consumption.

From a conventional perspective, there is no problem.

But don’t forget that the credibility of the imperial court is much higher than that of the Ming Dynasty’s economy, which is putting the cart before the horse.

The old emperor spent sixty years establishing his credibility before the people of the Ming Dynasty were willing to trust the court. But after the prince made such a lie, his credibility collapsed.

Telling one lie requires thousands of lies to make up for it.

If there is one, there will be two.

If you lie this time, you will have to make up for it with lies in the future. Sooner or later, the central government will be secretive and afraid to see people. In the end, you will continue to lie and the authority of the court will be reduced to the lowest level.

This is a vicious cycle, and even if it doesn't happen now, it will happen sooner or later.

Only with an open and honest court can the country continue to prosper.

Taizu is the most righteous in the world, what can't he say?
The Ming Dynasty reorganized the Han people's clothes, what is there that they dare not say?
Emperor Jingtai conquered the world, and the world became the Ming Dynasty. What is not worth saying?

There is nothing wrong with you, why are you afraid of seeing people?
Indeed, in recent years, there has been a lot of publicity, and the scolding has continued. Is it true that since Bingzheng is still afraid of being scolded? If the court does not do well, why don’t you let others talk about it? If the common people are not living a satisfactory life, why don’t people complain?

Why not let me tell you?

Taizu all asked him to say it, Emperor Taizong also asked him to say it, and Emperor Jingtai also asked him to say it!

Only when you are candid can you speak, and only when you are sneaky can there be trouble!
"financial crisis."

"It is the inevitable result of economic development. It occurs almost every decade and no country in the world can escape it."

"There is only one way to alleviate the crisis, which is to develop science and technology."

"The electrical revolution is the best way to alleviate the crisis."

Zhu Qiyu had just wanted to stop subsidies, but now that people's hearts are unstable, he still had to wait a little longer: "The court will increase subsidies and support all enterprises, large, medium and small."

"Starting this year, we will increase tax exemptions."

"The subsidy method needs to be changed. The subsidy money is used to purchase new equipment and carry out industrial upgrading, rather than entering the market to engage in price wars."

"Liu Jian, where does the market pricing power lie?"

Liu Jian reported back: "Your Majesty, I'm still at the center."

"Then the central government will set prices and let the market float to ensure prices."

"Alleviating the crisis is nothing more than stimulating consumption, issuing some coupons to the people, and I will pay for it. For people with low incomes, we will implement large-scale tax exemptions and provide certain consumption assistance."

"Encourage high-income people to start businesses and invest."

"Designate Hong Kong and Singapore as free trade ports with absolute freedom, and establish a world financial center and a world port."

"Relax the government's control, stipulate the content of the control in detail, issue specific standards, regulate the private market, and leave the rest alone."

"The financial crisis is most afraid of stock market turbulence. We must protect the stock market and spend money to protect the stock market."

"What stage has the Ottoman War reached?" Zhu Qiyu suddenly asked.

"Your Majesty, we have entered the second stage. The Ming army has begun to clear out the Ottomans in the occupied areas and has begun immigration. The war is still going on in the non-occupied areas." Li Dongyang reported back.

"Increase military spending, and within three years, I will occupy the Ottomans!"

"Send the message to the world again and encourage people to immigrate to Ottoman. It is also a bright land, full of opportunities and gold!"

"Using war to divert domestic conflicts, newspapers increased publicity of the war against the Ottomans, so that people would pay more attention to foreign countries."

"We will then use immigration to balance people's thoughts, and those who are dissatisfied with life in the Ming Dynasty will immigrate out to relieve domestic population pressure."

"domestic."

"Foreign trade is the bulk of fiscal revenue. If we maintain foreign trade, we can preserve the foundation of fiscal revenue."

"Don't be afraid of deficits. As long as the money is spent wisely, then the money will be well spent."

"But if it's not spent wisely, the money shouldn't be spent!"

Zhu Qiyu stood up slowly: "I heard that a section of asphalt road costs hundreds of thousands? A section of broken railway track also costs hundreds of thousands?"

"Eat money!"

"Ministry of Industry, are you a shit-eater?"

"Go back to me today and show me the budget. If I want to see the truth, go back and do it immediately!"

"Where's the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"

"The cabinet will order all the censors in the country to return to the capital, and I will personally investigate!"

"Inspection Department, I will give you seven days to eliminate the bugs within the Inspection Department. You only have seven days. After seven days, I will personally come to check and kill every one!"

"In the financial crisis, I will sacrifice the dog heads of corrupt officials to heaven!"

"Starting from today, I will kill a big tiger a day! I will kill a hundred flies a day!"

"I do what I say!"

"Eradicate corruption! Starting today!"

"I want to see where the money has been spent in the past five years?"

"Wang Chao!"

"I leave it to you, can you do it?" Zhu Qiyu held the dragon case in his hand with sharp eyes.

"Old minister, I will live up to the divine grace!" Wang Hao knelt on the ground.

"Li Dongyang, come and clear out the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Supervision Department!"

"Factory Guard, I will do it myself!"

Zhu Qiyu said coldly: "Within a month, I want to see the Ming Dynasty in the 60th year of Jingtai!"

It is said to be eradicating corruption, but in fact it is to eliminate Zhu Jianqi's party members.

Catching corrupt officials is also a way to boost public sentiment.

Use this money to subsidize the market and restore market vitality.

"I obey the order!" The courtier knelt on the ground.

The old emperor started to crack down on corruption as soon as he took back power. Aren't you afraid of stepping on thunder?
I'm really not afraid.

Even though he was trapped in the Yangxin Palace, he could still respond to a hundred calls, but he was still afraid of sitting on the throne again?
No matter how you choose this time, one month is for you to purify yourself, and one month later, it happens to be the day when King Shang returns to his country.

As the emperor of Eastern Europe, will King Shang return to his country by himself?
Absolutely not, he will definitely bring the Shang cavalry. The Shang King's guards returned to the country. The old emperor asked him to bring 50,000 cavalry to the capital. It is estimated that the Shang King will bring more.

If it cannot be eliminated within a month, the king of Shang will do it himself.

The people brought back by King Shang had no roots or connections in the country, so they would do things more swiftly and ruthlessly.

At that time, it will not be about eradicating corruption, but about cleaning up one rat-like family after another.

Those soldiers are eager to make a lot of money.

If you are smart, cut off your tail immediately to survive. When King Shang comes back, you will be bleeding like a river.

From this perspective, the old emperor is still showing favor.

Down to court.

The old emperor was not used to the new schedule. He had not gotten up early for a long time. Even though he was helpless, there was nothing he could do.

He couldn't read all the memorials one by one like before.

I can only listen to the eunuch chanting.

Fortunately, he felt more at ease with his courtiers and believed that the courtiers he trained could help him stabilize the world.

In the next few days, the court was eerily quiet, but the people were also stable.

Apart from expressions of shock in newspapers, there was no big movement.

This shows how powerful the courtiers selected by the old emperor were.

Changing the prince will shake the foundation of the country.

It stands to reason that the public should be excited and the world should be unstable, but the result is only a small commotion. This is the power of the courtiers.

It is definitely not that the prince is unpopular with the people.

The eunuch who delivered the order took the sea route to the Shang Kingdom and sent the imperial edict to various countries along the way. When Shang King Zhu Jianji received the imperial edict, he was stunned.

The prince was disobedient and unfilial and was deposed?
Welcoming him as the crown prince?

When he was young, he did have the idea of ​​competing for the crown prince, but after discovering that his father was too lively, he immediately gave up the idea.

Unexpectedly, half of it was buried in the earth, and a big pie fell on his head.

The old emperor personally wrote him a letter, which described the prince's various deeds, and then the old emperor implored him to return to the country and succeed to the throne.

From the letter, he felt the loneliness of his father's old age and could even read a hint of pleading.

Surprisingly, he did not express too much anger towards Zhu Jianqi, but expressed understanding.

If it were him, having been the prince for most of his life, he would have been driven crazy.

Zhu Jianqi is only crazy now, and she can bear it now.

If he had been the prince for ten years and thought he was crazy, he would definitely resist more fiercely than Zhu Jianqi. He would only rebel and even kill his father.

Even if his father is a perfect emperor and the kindest father in the world.

But he still does it!

In other words, he completely understood Li Chengqian, the crown prince of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and probably also understood the crown prince of Kangxi.

Being a prince for decades will really drive you crazy.

Zhu Jianqi is still among those who are not crazy enough.

However, as the biological son of the old emperor, he was very dissatisfied with Zhu Jianqi's attitude. How old was his father and he was still so angry with him?

Needless to say, the old emperor was definitely a very qualified father. He treated his sons equally and loved them very much. Based on this alone, Zhu Jianqi was nothing.

Filial piety is fulfilled in front of the house, but behind the house we never interact with each other until old age.

Zhu Jianqi deserves to die!

If Zhu Jianqi was in his twenties, Zhu Jianji would not be so angry. He is already a grandfather, but he is still angry with his father. Is he still a human being?

After venting his anger.

Zhu Jianjian began to consider again, which aspect would be more advantageous if he returned to his country to take the throne or whether he would refuse the throne.

In fact, it is best not to succeed.

The Shang Kingdom was conquered by him single-handedly, and all the people in the court were his trusted ministers. It can be said that he responded to every call in the Great Shang.

But back in the Ming Dynasty, he was a foreign vassal, and when he succeeded to the throne, he was restricted in every way.

The key point is that there are too many rules in the land of Ming Dynasty. Such rules cannot be seen or broken.

Even if you go to the Confucius Temple, these rules are still there. These are things that are engraved in your bones and penetrated deep into your bones.

Zhu Jianji hated these rules the most.

And the rules of Dashang are all set by him.

So he was really comfortable as the Shang King.

However, no matter how big the Shang Kingdom was, it was only a small country after all. The Ming Dynasty was the master of the world and the suzerain of all countries in the world.

Returning to his country to succeed to the throne, becoming a prince or an emperor, was a huge temptation for him.

That was his biggest dream when he was young, to be a prince.

The situation he faced was different from that of Zhu Jianqi. Zhu Jianqi had been the prince for fifty-seven years. Although he had been completely in power during the past few years, he was still not the emperor.

His father is eighty-seven years old, how many more years can he live?

And he is physically strong and can still go into battle to kill the enemy at the age of fifty-seven. If he lives for another ten years, he will definitely survive the death of his father and ascend to the throne.

The most important thing is that his father's letter is full of pleading.

This plea made him feel distressed.

His father was such a tough guy, he never bent his back or spoke softly, but now he really bent down and spoke softly.

This made him very distressed.

Like his father, he is an emperor who is like an overlord. He has never opened his mouth to ask for mercy in his whole life. This is the most like his father.

But such a person is begging for his son.

Zhu Jianjian's eyes were moist: "Return to the country! Succession!"

He made up his mind.

He gave up his empire in Shang State and returned to his country to succeed to the throne.

However, the Shang Prince Zhu Youyi will temporarily take charge of the affairs of the Shang Kingdom. After he returns to the country and ascends the throne, he will decide the ownership of the Shang Kingdom.

The next day, King Shang accepted the imperial edict of canonizing the prince in the court hall.

Then he reorganized his troops and returned home on a warship.

In order to allow the Shang king to return home smoothly, the Ming Dynasty sent two fleets of thousands of ships, escorted by the governors of Tang Dynasty and the Mediterranean, and mobilized hundreds of thousands of navy.

The Shang Kingdom will also use all its naval power to escort the Shang King back to his country.

The journey back home is destined to be uneventful.
