Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king

Chapter 470 Post-War Recovery: Emperor Longqing’s Devotion ()

The most unfortunate thing is the high arch.

He finally knocked Xu Jie over, but Zhang Juzheng overturned him before his butt was hot. The main reason was that he didn't expect that with Zhang Juzheng's age and qualifications, he could become the first assistant.

Zhang Juzheng served as the chief minister for twenty years.

After finally being overturned and dismounted, Xu Jie was tortured to death, and Gao Gong's good days finally came.

As a result, Gao Gong was unlucky and others died...

The center of the Wanli Dynasty has reached a point where it cannot do without Zhang Juzheng.

Because, in the Second World War, the Ming Dynasty appeared as the victor, but enjoyed the treatment of defeat. The people's dissatisfaction was loud, and foreign politics was also in a mess. The newly expanded territories not only did not become the Ming Dynasty's help, but became a drag.

Emperor Wanli could not handle such a complicated situation, and neither could the capable officials in the court.

In the seventh year of Wanli, under the unanimous voice of the government and the public, Emperor Wanli visited the thatched cottage three times and finally invited Zhang Juzheng out.

After many calls, Zhang Juzheng became the first assistant again.

Suddenly, popular opposition to the Paris Peace Conference disappeared.

Zhang Juzheng actually started public opinion, controlled it, and manipulated it.

It’s just that the court couldn’t hear the buzz.

But the grievances among the people will eventually subside.

After all, it is all caused by the lowering of living standards. People must be able to make money and make more money.

Zhang Juzheng proposed that capital should benefit people's livelihood, and the court should increase industry subsidies and liberalize some industries controlled by the court to allow capital to enter.

First of all, Zhang Juzheng proposed the weekend system.

Private enterprises must provide workers with adequate rest time. They must take two days off every week. Working hours must be limited to eight hours. Overtime pay must be paid for more than eight hours.

State-owned enterprises and imperial enterprises play a leading role.

Secondly, workers’ holidays should be expanded. If workers work overtime during holidays, companies must pay overtime pay.

Third, to protect the age of young people from participating in the labor force, young people must be at least 18 years old before they can participate in the labor force, otherwise they will be punished with the crime of employing child labor.

Fourth, improve the enterprise salary system and contract system. Enterprises and workers must strictly abide by the contract, and the labor contract must be brief and clear, and no word games are allowed.

Fifth, improve the tax rebate system. Starting from the ninth year of Wanli, the minimum tax rebate standard will be raised to 5,000 yuan per month. Workers with a monthly income of less than 5,000 yuan and an annual income of less than 100,000 yuan will be given a tax exemption policy; for small-scale enterprises Operators shall implement a comprehensive tax exemption and tax rebate system.

Sixth, for the underemployed and unemployed people, local officials are obliged to help find jobs. Local governments must provide sufficient employment opportunities. The employment rate is linked to the performance of local officials and included in the Beijing inspection.

Seventh, further open up the international market, turn famous products into universal goods, improve industrial quality, occupy the mid-to-high-end market; reduce product prices, seize the low-end market, and unswervingly adhere to the national policy of being the world's factory.

Eighth...

Zhang Juzheng proposed more than 100 plans.

It’s dizzying to watch.

The essence of the weekend system and the prohibition of child labor is to alleviate employment pressure.

In the past, one person could do three jobs, but now two people can do three jobs, which means that the company needs to recruit one more employee, which promotes employment.

The Ming Dynasty has been working on the tax rebate and exemption system, and Zhang Juzheng directly raised the threshold, which will at least benefit more than 5 billion people.

There is also the world’s factory.

Daming plans to start a factory war and crowd out all factories in other countries, making Daming a unique factory in the world and gaining the world's pricing power.

After all, the core of these articles he proposed is that the military war has ended and the economic war has begun.

Ming Dynasty wants to use economic means to annex the world.

This is Zhang Juzheng.

In recent years, Zhang Juzheng has been writing books and reading books. He has recently started to revise Yangming's Philosophy of Mind. He is also a disciple of Yangming's Philosophy of Mind.

By the way, he was also Wang Shouren's disciple. Wang Shouren taught him for a year and a half and then died of illness. However, Zhang Juzheng believed that he had received the true inheritance of Yangming's Xinxue.

When Wang Shouren was in the capital, he was looking for successors, and Zhang Juzheng was one of them. But at that time, Zhang Juzheng had already studied under Xu Jie.

In these years, Zhang Juzheng did not admit his relationship with Wang Shouren, mainly because Wang Shouren was not as helpful to him as Xu Jie in his political career.

After breaking up with Xu Jie, he began to respect Wang Shouren as his teacher and put the important responsibility of carrying forward Yangming's Xinxue on his shoulders.

Wang Shouren's Yangming Mind Theory synthesized the theories of Qiu Jun and Xiang Zhong, and summarized the thoughts of more than fifty years into Yangming Mind Theory. This is Dacheng's Yangming Mind Theory.

It can be said that the scope of Yangming's psychology is very broad, and economics is only a minor part of the psychology.

But Zhang Juzheng studied economics seriously.

Economics developed during the Jingtai Dynasty and has a history of nearly a hundred years. There are hundreds or thousands of large books. It can be said that economic research is very complete.

Zhang Juzheng used to focus mostly on fighting. Although he had studied the economy, he was not thorough. He did manage the empire's finances before, but he only relied on Chen Gong.

Chen Gong died of illness in the third year of Wanli, and there was a shortage of financial experts in the court.

Reading when Zhang Juzheng was thirty years old was a new state; when he was forty years old, it was another state; when he was more than sixty years old, it was a new state.

Things that I thought were obscure and difficult to understand in the past suddenly became clear to me, and my thinking spread far and wide, and I came up with many things that I had never thought of before.

Zhang Juzheng once again became the chief minister, and what he wanted to do was definitely not manage the empire's finances.

But to completely change the imperial system.

I don’t dare to express my current ambitions.

That's because he knew his classmate. Emperor Wanli was a courageous and decisive person. He was the one who helped him when he defeated Gao Gong.

During those years when he was in power, he had a harmonious relationship with the palace. Emperor Wanli acted as a lubricant, and he firmly supported Zhang Juzheng.

Emperor Wanli also had a huge weakness, that is, he was good at making judgments but not good at planning, and he was ignorant and good at following.

Xiao He succeeds and Xiao He loses.

It was precisely because of Emperor Wanli that Zhang Juzheng wasted all his hard work and eventually became a farmer.

This time he came back and asked for more.

While he was observing Emperor Wanli, Emperor Wanli was also observing him.

Emperor Wanli knew his classmate very well. He and Zhang Juzheng were classmates twice. They were both Xu Jie's apprentices and Wang Shouren's apprentices.

After working together for more than thirty years, we are very familiar with each other.

Zhu Changzhi knew exactly what Zhang Juzheng had planned.

Therefore, Zhu Changzhi has been guarding against Zhang Juzheng.

Under the leadership of Zhang Juzheng, the Ming Dynasty's economy began to recover, but the voices of dissatisfaction among the people could not be calmed.

Zhang Juzheng decided to divert people's attention and let them get out of their dissatisfaction.

Increase house prices!
Housing prices have not risen for many years. These generations of emperors have adhered to Zhu Qiyu's thinking. Housing prices involve the lifeblood of the people. They cannot be leveraged at will, and they cannot rise or fall.

The key is that housing prices in Ming Dynasty have reached their peak, and they won’t rise much further.

Emperor Zhengde also used elevator rooms to promote a wave of home buying, in order to alleviate the financial crisis.

In fact, housing prices depend on whether you dare to speculate.

Starve the timid to death.

Zhang Juzheng is about to change his strategy. The houses are full and there are no elevators. But don't forget that Ming Dynasty restricts villas.

In the name of scarce land, the Ming Dynasty strictly prohibited the construction of villas.

In the past few years, there was not enough food to eat, and we were not allowed to build villas.

Houses are getting taller and taller, which is directly related to the shortage of land.

Although there are risks in the future for high-level officials, the risks have been transferred. What does it have to do with Emperor Zhengde?
Zhang Juzheng studied the policies of the previous dynasty some time ago and found that Emperor Zhengde was not thorough in real estate, indicating that he did not know how to play real estate, or that he was more conscientious.

Then he came up with an idea.

Build a villa!
Emperor Zhengde had never thought that the key was that the common people could not afford it. The old houses in the Jingtai Dynasty were very old at that time, but the common people were not willing to change their houses. At that time, the court thought of many ways to induce the common people to change their houses.

From the Zhengde Dynasty to the Wanli Dynasty, it has only been a few decades. You have changed your house once, but you still need to change your house again?
People were fooled last time, will they be fooled again?
I definitely won't buy it because there is no demand for it.

How can you be fooled? A house is a consumable item. It will grow old as you live in it. Everything will break. It is normal to replace an old house with a new one.

As of the eighth year of Wanli, the total population of Ming Dynasty was 63 billion, but there were 200 billion housing units, which can be said to be seriously saturated.

But housing prices must not be reduced, because a house has two irreproducible cores, location and transportation.

The houses in the core business district are old, but very expensive because the location cannot be replicated.

School district room, location cannot be copied.

The subway room with convenient transportation and convenient commuting to work cannot be copied.

Some vacant houses are cheap and located outside the city. Who would buy them?

There are also sea view rooms, river view rooms, and scenic area rooms. This kind of house will definitely fall in price. This is a gimmick.

A good house always comes with a good location.

Moreover, a house gets older as you live in it, and becomes less valuable as it gets older. There is no such thing as reverse growth, and nothing becomes more valuable as it gets older.

But the reason why old houses can still maintain average prices is because they are in good locations.

In the core area of ​​the commercial street, not only do prices not drop, but they also increase.

Zhang Juzheng thought of a bad idea and demolished and built a villa.

We will renovate some old cities and demolish all the old buildings, and compensate the relocated households according to the compensation ratio. If you think the house is too big and I can't afford it, you can ask for money, but if you want a house, you will be given more in terms of area. A little discount.

Don’t think that if you demolish the building and rebuild it into a villa, you will lose money.

Will not.

What is the average price of a building, how much is a villa, how much is a single-family villa, and how much is a townhouse?
The core thing is not to make money, but to stimulate domestic demand!

The Ming Dynasty has been engaged in infrastructure construction, but no matter how it is done, it is left-handed and right-handed, and the local economy cannot prosper.

But demolition is different.

A move in real estate will drive the development of the entire industry.

Will the demolition households consume the demolition money after receiving it? Wouldn’t the local economy prosper?

And if you want a house, do you have to rent a house and add money to get a villa? Do you need to decorate it? Do you need home appliances?
Everyone needs to buy and consume.

Isn’t the market prosperous?

The purpose of demolition is not to make money for the court, but to make the place prosperous. Everyone will spend money to consume, creating a prosperous market. Once the market is prosperous, people will have confidence, and when people have confidence, they will consume.

The core of not consuming is lack of confidence, no confidence in the future, no confidence in oneself, and no confidence in the prospects.

Therefore, he does not consume, so the economy cannot prosper.

And if the building is demolished into villas, the court will lose money.

If the imperial court promotes it, it will definitely be the imperial court that pays the penalty.

It does not matter.

As long as the local economy prospers and taxes rise, the court's money will naturally be earned back.

What the court wants is a pool of living water.

It doesn't matter whether you make money or not.

What the court has to do is to promote private consumption and promote the healthy operation of the market, consumption, and investment. This is the obligation that the court must do.

Making money or whatever has nothing to do with the court, that is the job of state-owned enterprises and imperial enterprises.

If it is stagnant water, the court can only wait for death.

As long as the market is functioning and the country becomes a living water, Ming Dynasty will quickly recover from its post-war decline and become prosperous again. This is a macro-level way of thinking.

Therefore, it is very important for the market to be active.

The problem of land shortage can also be solved. Is Ming Dynasty really short of land?
There is no shortage.

Even though the population is so large, one thing must be considered: how many houses are ineffective, and how many small cities have all the people gone and the houses are empty.

How many houses are not sold at all and remain empty, and how many are unfinished?

If these resources are integrated, there is actually no loss.

The land occupied is basically the same.

Even if it's more, so what?
The Ming Dynasty had no shortage of land at all.

2400 million square kilometers, and the core territory exceeds 1200 million square kilometers. Will there be any shortage of land? If there is a real shortage, reclamation can fill it.

The key is that the Ming Dynasty stopped reclamation and began to protect the marine ecology in the third year of Wanli.

Mainly because in these years, the Ming Dynasty was short of food and fished to death in the sea, which has caused the extinction of marine life. Therefore, in the third year of Wanli, Z26 held an ecological meeting and signed a thirty-year ban on fishing. Within thirty years, no fishing is allowed. For marine life, fish fry must be released regularly.

Countries around the world are also not allowed to reclaim the sea at will and have reached a series of agreements.

The Ming Dynasty did not reclaim the sea.

There is no shortage of land. What Ming Dynasty lacks most is land. How many villas can be built in the vast 2400 million square kilometers?
As for converting a building into a villa, ordinary people cannot do it.

This is super offending.

The local government is absolutely against it.

No one knows how many tricks are hidden in the house.

The so-called local prosperity is what the imperial court hopes for, but do local governments really want prosperity?
Undesirable.

The imperial court levied taxes based on local prosperity, and provided subsidies to areas with difficulties. This involved a problem of paying and collecting money.

For example, a not-rich city pays 5% tax every year and gets 2% financial subsidy. If it becomes a wealthy city and the city collects too much money, it will have to pay 7% tax every year and there will be no subsidy. .

Which one will local administrators choose?

They must have chosen not to be rich, because they live on this salary, and every extra penny they earn must be worth one penny.

As for the political performance of local officials, it has nothing to do with them.

Officials also want political achievements, but if they succeed first, they are afraid of being reported by their colleagues.

If an official makes a city rich, he will definitely be commended and will be continuously promoted. However, this official will definitely be jealous of others. Many people will come here to study, which is actually looking for trouble.

And the people below themselves hate you. You have achieved political achievements and our wages have been reduced. They must hate you.

Therefore, this official is not good.

Even if you go through all the difficulties and pass through all these difficulties, if the court knows that you have this ability, the cabinet will appoint you to other less wealthy cities to continue to prosper this city and that city, so you can act as a fire extinguisher.

Promotion is definitely possible. As long as you can withstand the test, promotion will be no problem. You will be promoted to the center in a few years.

This is how Zhang Juzheng came up. Wherever there are difficulties, there is Zhang Juzheng.

So, after fourteen years in the place, he climbed up, almost like a rocket.

He became the first assistant at the age of thirty-seven.

This is the youngest chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty.

After reading his resume, you will find that he has cheated his life.

He knows the place so well.

He knows very well what the place is like.

Therefore, he knows that this policy will definitely restore the local vitality, and he is not afraid of offending people.

The local government is still unwilling, but there is another factor.

It's just that the local government is unwilling to accept the task of the imperial court. It is difficult to handle and there is not much oil and water. If it cannot be completed, it will be punished.

Since the Jingtai period, the Ming Dynasty has had a strict reward and punishment system. Promotions do not depend on character or personal ethics, but on merit. If you do well or not, as long as you can withstand several rounds of inspections and confirm that the merit is true, you will definitely be promoted. promotion.

In recent years, officialdom has been continuously improved, but it is developing in a good direction.

The degree of control the imperial court had over the local area was extremely terrifying.

Especially with the advent of electric lights, telephones, and televisions, all senior officials of the Six Temples of the Gebu Temple have a thorough understanding of the provinces they are responsible for, from a section chief to a chief envoy.

This is terrible.

Normally, small local officials would not be able to see high-ranking officials in the imperial court.

But Ming officials, even local section chiefs, had to go to Beijing to report on their duties.

Unexpected?

A small section chief has to go to the capital every three years to report the results of his work, and someone in the court will check them according to the performance review sheet of the capital inspection team.

At the same time, we should also check whether there is a report letter and see if it is a verified report letter.

Each work report is jointly assessed by several departments. Only those who pass the assessment can continue to work. Those who fail the assessment will have an uncertain future.

Those who can become section chiefs are all Jinshi, and they understand the cruelty of politics.

This was the policy of the 69th year of Jingtai. It was proposed by Zhu Jianji and other cabinet members. It was used throughout the Chenghua Dynasty and has now become a national policy.

It is true that it will increase political costs, but can such a huge empire not be able to afford even this small cost?
Don't think that small section chiefs are useless. It is often these people who really deal with the grassroots.

Officials in the court must have an intuitive understanding and knowledge of the achievements and abilities of these section chiefs. Don't just mention someone casually and say you don't know with a confused look on your face, otherwise your official position will be over.

This is a direct reflection of the Ming Dynasty's rule.

Moreover, the imperial power has long gone to the countryside.

Every village was directly ruled by the Ming Dynasty. The imperial court responded to every call. No one in the entire Ming Dynasty could escape the eyes of the imperial court.

This is also the reason why Zhang Juzheng dared to use this policy.

The imperial court's rule over the local area was unimaginably strong.

Local governments are unwilling and do not have the power to object.

This is a national policy.

In order to restore the post-war economy and restore people's confidence.

After all, he also felt very aggrieved by World War II. The fruits of victory that he had clearly obtained were handed over to others. He commented on Emperor Longqing in one word, Shabi.

He could understand the extreme dissatisfaction among the people. After all, it was agreed that everyone should share the meat together, but as a result, the meat was not eaten and it was not divided.

He also told the people that if they want to be rich, we have to do it ourselves.

Fuck you!
We have invested all our wealth in the imperial court. Let's go to war together, conquer the world, get war reparations, and return the money to me with interest.

It is equivalent to saying that we are all shareholders.

You, the chairman of the board, are so lucky. You obviously won, but you signed a peace treaty that was humiliating and humiliating the country. How can you be so disrespectful?

Now come back and let's do it again, fuck you!
Everyone in the world wanted to point their fingers at Emperor Longqing and scold him.

That's why Emperor Longqing didn't dare to bury him somewhere, otherwise his ashes would be blown away in minutes.

Even Zhang Juzheng wanted to praise him.

The fruits of victory are within easy reach, as long as you stretch out your hand, you can pick them. That's the result of my own victory. You don't cherish it at all.

As for the war that has passed for eight years, you still need me to clean up this mess?
Will the public criticize it like this?
If it were me, I would also curse.

That's all the people's hard-earned money. You turned it into a cannonball and fired it all, and then you don't admit it. Do you want to lose face?
You agreed to do business as a partnership, but you kicked out the partner, and you lost your credibility with the court? No more royal reputation?
Can you be a human being?

Zhang Juzheng came up to do something practical for the people.

The purpose of converting buildings into villas this time is to restore the post-war economy, calm the anger of the people, and allow them to return their energy to life.

Although the court is playing rogue, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, and the court is really out of money.

The people didn't receive the money, but the court did?

No!

I'll send it to you if you have it.

It’s all the fault of Emperor Shabilong Qing!

So why did you think about signing the peace treaty?
There must be something seriously wrong with your head!

So what if you don't sign, the worst is to fight for another three years, Ming Dynasty will be so poor, what are you afraid of, just fight.

What kind of Z26 countries are there? They are all vassals of the Ming Dynasty. Do they have the right to be on an equal footing with the Ming Dynasty?

Zhang Juzheng couldn't figure out what was in Emperor Longqing's head.

Is it shit?
Why did such a loser appear in Lao Zhu's family?

Jiajing and Long Qing are really a pair of humble men.

The Ming Dynasty was ruined.

Zhang Juzheng really wanted to slap Emperor Longqing twice.

At the beginning, he wanted to directly abolish the imperial system and become president himself, because Emperor Longqing was not good enough. He could not afford the status of the patriarch of the Ming Dynasty and the position of emperor.

Not to mention Emperor Shizu, even Emperors Xiaozong and Wuzong can't compare.

He wanted to do it himself.

In the end, he just thought about it.

Even if Daming did such a disgusting thing, he couldn't overturn it.

The people are dissatisfied. They can only say that someone in the court is incompetent, not that the Ming Dynasty is incompetent. The Ming Dynasty is very good, and they will not rebel just because of this. Everyone still has a very good impression of the Ming Dynasty, and they do not hope that their own The country is in chaos.

Besides, the court didn't say it wouldn't pay back the money. The money is still guaranteed and it will be paid back sooner or later, that's for sure.

If the Ming Dynasty disappears, will our money be wasted? It's better to pull it down.

The same thing happened in the DPRK, and they were also dissatisfied with Emperor Longqing.

When Emperor Longqing acted like a child and insisted on killing Zhang Juzheng, these people defended Zhang Juzheng to the death, saying that the current emperor, Zhu Changzhi, knelt outside the gate of Yangxin Hall for three days and three nights.

Today, Zhang Juzheng dares to say that he has the ambition to be president. Those who protected him back then killed him in minutes.

Even Qi Jiguang was insulted.

But Zhang Juzheng asked Qi Jiguang to rebel with him. Qi Jiguang immediately escorted him to the center, then pulled off his head and kicked him as a ball.

That was because Emperor Longqing was sorry for him, and the current emperor was still very good to him. Besides, Qi Jiguang didn't have any thoughts of rebellion, right?
Qi Jiguang also chose his own son. After Emperor Wanli ascended the throne, he immediately resumed all his duties, which he did not do on his own.

Moreover, he did not suffer any injustice in prison.

He now suspected that it was a play directed and performed by Emperor Longqing and the current emperor.

Just to win over the hearts of his generals Qi Jiguang, Xu Guangqi, Yu Dayou, and Li Chengliang.

Because Emperor Longqing, who was in his seventies, had always had a good reputation. How could he suddenly become so confused?
Just arrest Zhang Juzheng. Why arrest him?

He was confused at the time.

His entire clan is confused.

Then he was thrown into a prison and given good food and drink. After Emperor Wanli came to the throne, he was invited to come out and he was given a generous salary by a high-ranking official.

Isn't this the emperor's trick?

Use one person, trample him in the mud first, wait until the old emperor dies and the new emperor ascends the throne, and immediately invite him out.

The more I look at them, the more they look like each other.

Emperor Longqing died after more than a year of trouble.

Could it be that he had already had signs of death, and to pave the way for his son, he offended these capable ministers and generals first, and then after he died, he asked the new emperor to activate them. Wouldn't these people shed tears of gratitude?

The more I think about this thing, the more this makes sense.

Not only Qi Jiguang thought so, but Zhang Juzheng also thought so.

Emperor Longqing's character changed too quickly.

Emperor Longqing was particularly afraid of death. He had been in the palace for more than ten years and had been fishing for fame. He gained a huge reputation and was called the teaching emperor.

Suddenly it changed, and it became so unexpected!

However, was Emperor Longqing willing to use the results of World War II as a bargaining chip?

Trampling Zhang Juzheng in the mud would have greater consequences than World War II?

In fact, Zhang Juzheng didn't want to understand one thing.

In the world war, all countries participated in the war, and all countries were drained of their vitality. Can the so-called war reparations really be obtained?

What do those countries give them?
Not at all.

Since there are no war reparations, where are the results?
The territory gained by Ming Dynasty was not lost.

Monopolizing East Asia, including Hawaii, is still in the hands of Ming Dynasty. Ming Dynasty also got a military port on the Gulf of Aden, which can be said to have made a lot of money.

You can't get other things at all.

However, at the beginning of the war, Ming Dynasty promised many things to the people. No matter how far the war went, it could not fulfill its promises.

Also, the reputation of a world hegemon needs someone to take the blame.

When the war is fought like this, no matter from the perspective of economic benefits or political interests, someone must take the blame.

Is it possible for Zhang Juzheng to take the blame?

He has a golden body and so many military exploits, how could he take the blame?
Others are obviously not qualified enough.

The only qualified person is Emperor Longqing.

If he doesn't take the blame, he will have to let the war continue, and his son Emperor Wanli will take the blame in a few years.

But Ming Dynasty must be passed on.

He was half buried and almost dead.

His son will continue Guo Zuo's legacy.

Wanli couldn't take the blame, so he, Emperor Longqing, had to take the blame.

The Second World War was fought like this. All the people's money was lost, the expected results were not achieved, and there were voices of dissatisfaction at home and abroad. Someone was bound to take the blame.

Emperor Longqing was appropriately mediocre and unprincipled.

He suddenly liquidated Zhang Juzheng.

Capture Qi Jiguang and others and let the war fail.

At the same time, it left a mess for Ming Dynasty.

But, is this mess left by him?

No, it is the inevitable result of war.

But the people don't know. They are still waiting for the money to be divided. If they are suddenly told that there will be no money, will they rebel? Most definitely!
Moreover, they don’t understand what is the mess left over from the war, they just know that our money is gone, our interests are damaged, and you are not a good emperor.

This is what little people think.

Emperor Longqing must take the blame.

If he carries it, he will become a historical sinner, his son will relax, and the emperor system can continue. He was wrong but he is dead, and his son will try his best to make up for his mistakes. This is what a good emperor should do.

So what if Emperor Longqing is accused by thousands of people?

The throne was successfully passed on.

This is his core purpose.

No matter how many more years the Second World War is fought, the result will be the same, and the longer it drags on, the greater the losses will be, and the harder it will be to recover.

This was the first thing he had foreseen.

Therefore, Emperor Longqing fooled everyone.

He suddenly changed his face and took the opportunity to arrest Zhang Juzheng and force the Second World War to stop. Then he took the initiative to take the blame and let the world blame him.

Moreover, he put all the capable ministers and famous generals in prison, waiting for his son to rescue them, so that they would be grateful to their sons and to the Ming Dynasty.

As for the share that the common people don't get, it's up to him to bear the infamy.

This is the truth.

Only Emperor Wanli knew this secret.

Another insider, Feng Bao, had passed away and was buried with Emperor Longqing.

To this day, no one thought that Emperor Longqing would fearlessly sacrifice himself for the Ming Dynasty. In operas, he would only appear as a clown.

Because he was frightened to death, but he didn't know that he had lung cancer caused by tuberculosis and was already dying. He died by injection of drugs, otherwise it would be too painful and it would be faked to look like he was frightened to death.

Just to make this game more real.

Now, everyone in the world believes it.

fine……

A drop of tear flowed from the corner of Emperor Wanli's eyes. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty must be ready to sacrifice himself for the country at any time, and he must also be prepared to sacrifice himself for the throne. Neither the throne nor the imperial power can be lost! This is the ancestral teaching!
