Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 711: The Crown Prince visited Nangong and laughed and talked about the past.
Zhu Wenfang, surrounded by He Yi, Liu Chang, Pei Dang, Ruan Zhu and others, as well as a group of personal guards, left Donghua Gate and strolled to Nangong.

Entering the Nangong, Zhu Wenfang sighed while admiring: "Emperor Taizong was really good at Xuan Temple. When he was building the city of Beijing, he even built the Emperor Taisun Palace.

It's a pity that the throne was passed to our unworthy lineage by accident. "

This statement was a bit bold. Fortunately, after entering Nangong, only He Yi, Liu Chang, Pei Dang, and Ruan Zhu were around Zhu Wenfang. The guards were all following him twenty steps away, and few people could be heard talking.

He Yi replied: "Emperor Taizong has a spirit in heaven, so he must be very pleased with the achievements of the Holy Emperor and the prince in opening up the territory."

Zhu Wenfang inquired deeply: "Master, I have a question. Why did Xuan Miao become like that after he ascended the throne? It's so hard to understand.

Although among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, except for the father, the rest of them were very gentle towards the vassal states.But Xuan Miao was a little too gentle. He was so anxious to give the Ming Dynasty's land to Annan.

I heard that King Li Li of Annan at the time was dumbfounded. The Ming Emperor was even more anxious than himself, and in a hurry he ceded Yunnan Ningyuan Prefecture, Guangxi Luzhou, and Xiping Prefecture to Annan. "

He Yi replied: "Maybe before he ascended the throne, Xuan Miao had high expectations and was under too much pressure. It is said that Taizong had always intended to depose the crown prince of Renmiao and replace him with the king of Han.

It is said that the relationship between Renmiao and Xuanmiao is not very good, and Renmiao also has Yi Chu's heart.

There is too much pressure at ordinary times, and after taking the throne, it is easy to feel tired.

All I can think of is this reason, otherwise many things cannot be explained reasonably.

But these are my personal guesses. I am young and was only born in the second year of Xuande.

There are some historical truths that you simply can’t understand unless you experience them yourself.Just reading a few history books will give you too one-sided information. "

Zhu Wenfang asked again: "Then my father doesn't understand even more?"

He Yi smiled and said: "The Holy One was born in the third year of Xuande, so naturally he has not personally experienced those things. However, the Holy One's wisdom is given by heaven, and it is beyond the comparison of our ministers."

As they talked, several people walked into the Chonghua Palace and visited Zhu Qizhen's original secluded residence. Zhu Wenfang concluded: "The palace is as grand and magnificent as the Prince's East Palace, but it is too small.

I am used to living in Biyufang. Lying on the bed, through the window, I can enjoy the thousands of acres of lotus flowers in Kunming Lake and the green pines and cypresses in Wanshou Mountain.

To value a place like Hua Palace, including Kunning Palace and Cining Palace, is really useless and annoying. "

He Yi nodded: "That's true. You haven't been to Lingyu Palace yet. It's really well built. The mountains and rivers complement each other beautifully. There are mountains, water, rivers, lakes, hot springs, cool springs, and fruit trees. There is arable land.

Living there makes me very happy just thinking about it.When the Lingyu Palace was first built, I was lucky enough to go in three or four times, and later your wife went in twice.

After the Holy Emperor and his ladies moved in for a period of time, others would no longer be able to enter. "

Zhu Wenfang asked curiously: "What exactly is inside, and why aren't you even letting me in?"

"You will naturally understand when you grow up. I'm really curious, so you can ask your wife. Anyway, I don't know how to answer."

Zhu Wenfang looked at Pei Dang and Ruan Zhu again: "Have you two ever entered Lingyu Palace?"

The two nodded, and Pei Dang replied: "Both of us have been to Lingyu Palace, but the emperor's bedroom is not allowed to enter."

"My father trusts you so much, why don't you let me in?"

Pei Dang smiled and said: "Emperors and concubines in the past dynasties did not regard eunuchs as men. In some dynasties, eunuchs could serve concubines to bathe.

But the emperor regards us as men and does not let us see some things we should not see.

Young Master, this slave has made it clear enough. If you go further, it will be time to behead you. "Although Zhu Wenfang was extremely smart, he couldn't understand some things because of his age, so he had to look at his martial arts master Liu Chang.

Liu Chang, who has always been relatively silent, suddenly said: "Several empresses in Lingyu Palace are good at painting, the eldest empress is good at landscapes, the tenth empress, the fourteenth empress, and the fifteenth empress are especially good at figures."

Zhu Wenfang was stunned for a long time, then nodded in realization and quickly changed the subject: "Master, why do you think my uncle lost the throne?"

He Yi replied: "To understand this problem, we must explore how Ye became strong in the first place and how Shanxi became so corrupt.

With the national power of the Ming Dynasty, it was fully capable of suppressing the Mongolian tribes. If no one in the court deliberately allowed Oara to grow, it would not be able to gain momentum at first.

And in Shanxi, how officials, lords, and gentry colluded with each other from the court to the local government. This cannot be explained in one or two sentences.

It won't be long before the Holy Spirit will definitely start the real reform of Shanxi. At that time, while we are administering the government, we will slowly clarify the ins and outs of it. "

Zhu Wenfang nodded, and the group chatted here and there. It was almost afternoon before they went to Wuying Hall to continue invigilating the exam.

In the evening, it started raining again.

In the Hehuan Hall, Zhu Qiyu was leaning on the couch with a smile on his face, hugging one on the left and the other on the right. He was watching the rain outside the window while chatting, very leisurely.

Lin Xiangyu teased: "There are many people who cheat on their fathers in this world, but there are far fewer who cheat on their sons. Those who are as proud as my husband after cheating his son are even rarer."

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Isn't this very good? Liu Chan once said a famous saying: The government belongs to the Ge family, and the sacrifices are made to the few.

I am now the Crown Prince, and I am offering sacrifices to the King of Han, the Duke of England, and the King of Soochow.

It's really relaxing to throw everything away.

Think about how difficult it was when I first took over.At that time, there was no useful son. There was Princess Yin, who was also an undercover agent sent by Princess Sun.

All the officials in the Nian Mansion were sent by my brother to monitor me, and there is no one I can trust.

I dug a hole in the mountain with great difficulty, and got fifteen of you ladies, and gave me a bunch of children.After eight full years, I finally managed to get to the point where the eldest and second eldest brother were able to work.

If I don’t liberate myself now, then when will I? "

Lin Xiangyu continued teasing: "My dear, my husband changes his face so quickly. Now he has a brother, how can he be called so affectionate?"

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "There is no threat to their father and son anymore, so it's time to talk about family ties. And speaking of conscience, as far as family ties are concerned, Xuan Miao and Concubine Ru are really not good to me.

But Zhu Qizhen was pretty good to me. Let's forget all the grudges with a smile. Why did he have to make it so dishonorable? "

Lin Xiangyu asked again: "What should you do if your brother is captured after conquering Kyoto, Japan?"

Zhu Qiyu shook his head helplessly: "Isn't Huang Qi supervising the army in Japan? Let him handle it. I won't ask anything."

"So how is the war situation in Japan?"

When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he smiled happily and said: "We have received confirmed news that there is a severe drought in Japan, not to mention that it affects the whole country, at least most places are severely affected by the drought.

Some parts of our Ming Dynasty have been hit by disasters, and I can bring in grain from provinces with good harvests.

You said Japan is just a few isolated islands on the sea. Where can they go to get food? "
