Daming Zhu Di: Father, why aren't you dead? !

Chapter 109 New Features!Heroic Spirits Call!Zhang Cong: I'm back! (5.2k asking for a monthly pass!)

Taimiao, the place where ancestors are worshiped.

Everyone in the Ming Dynasty knew that it was a very normal and trivial thing for ancestors to appear in places like Taimiao.

'Um?Why is it windy? '

Immortal Jiajing rubbed his eyes slightly.

When he looked again, in the middle of the Taimiao, there were six figures appearing out of thin air.

Especially the three standing on the left, they look almost identical except for their complexion. The other three are similar in appearance, but their ages are obviously divided into three generations: old, middle-aged and young.

'Peiyuan avatar technique! '

Immortal Jiajing's heart trembled, and a word popped out of his mind, infinite yearning for immortal magic.

He had seen this kind of profound magic from an ancient book that Tao Zhongwen gave him.

In order to speed up their practice, practitioners of Taoism unify the three, and practice the three bodies of the old, the middle and the young at the same time, and get twice the result with half the effort.

(Copyright owner of ancient books: Tao Zhongwen)

Ji Boying turned slightly, glanced at the three Zhu Di and the three Zhu Gaochi, and frowned, what the hell is this little Zhu Si doing?Why don't you wear clothes in broad daylight?

'Tsk, it's too small. '

But this is actually no wonder Xiao Zhu Si.

The other five people all responded to the wind chime, and before crossing, they could have a few seconds to make preparations.

But Xiao Zhusi was not prepared at all, he just dropped into the air in an instant. When Xiao Zhusi realized the moment, his heart skipped a beat, and the glory disappeared in an instant.

Fortunately, everyone is a man, and little Zhu Si is not as embarrassing as he imagined.

Instead, the gazes of the six people all scanned the surrounding scene and the Jiajing Immortal.

As emperors and princes, they are of course no strangers to Taimiao.

Old Zhu Di, Zhu Lao Si, and Xiao Zhu Si, the eyes of the three of them instantly fell on the row of gods that belonged to them, starting with the two big characters "Cheng Zu", their eyes were instantly cold.

As for the three Zhu Gaochi, they searched all over the Taimiao but couldn't find their tablet, and they were so angry that their back molars were crushed.

It's one thing to hear about it, but quite another to witness the disappearance of the tablet.

"Brothers, can you..."

Immortal Jiajing had an excited smile on his face. He was very excited when he saw the six senior brothers, and he took the initiative to greet them.

"No, Nima's size."

Xiao Zhu Si was already stagnant, and this will make her angry the most.

Regardless of his nakedness, he swung a punch the size of a sandbag at the Jiajing Immortal who came up to him, and punched the Crane-shaped Immortal Jiajing in his lower abdomen.

'Is this how the world of cultivating immortals greets them? ! '

He opened his mouth and sprayed foam, and before the staring-eyed God Jiajing could react, the other five people all started.

For such lowly and unworthy descendants, give them a good beating first.

After a quarter of an hour.

Ji Boying stood beside the bruised and swollen Jiajing, and enthusiastically introduced the identities of the three Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi to him.

The moment he heard the two names 'Zhu Di' and 'Zhu Gaochi', Immortal Jiajing's heart skipped a beat.

Zhu Houcong has always been famous among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty for his high IQ, how can he not understand the reason why he was beaten.

But compared to changing the temple name, Jiajing Immortal cares more about another point.

'It turns out that the ancestors secretly practiced Taoism and became immortals! '

'It's really abominable, but there is no experience passed down to future generations! '

"Okay, let's go back."

Ji Boying glanced at the six people, especially the naked little Zhu Si.

After a moment of silence, he threw a medicine at him with a flick of his hand.

This kid suddenly lost his glory. If he doesn't remedy it in time, he may have problems in the future.

"Master Immortal, this is..."

Little Zhu Si looked at the small blue pill in his palm, and his curiosity arose.

"Enjoy."

Ji Boying didn't say much, and with a wave of his hand, the six of them disappeared instantly.

Then, he looked at Zhu Houcong.

"You must know the reason for the beating by now."

"Now, let's talk about the administration of officials in your dynasty."

Ji Boying looked serious.

The Jiajing Dynasty, in the Ming Dynasty, was a very critical node.

This is why, when Ji Boying divided the Ming Dynasty into three periods, he took Jiajing-Longqing as the dividing point between the second period and the third period.

The Jiajing Immortal was taken aback, talking about the administration of officials?Shouldn't the next step be to talk to myself about ascending immortality?

But since Daozu said so, Jiajing Immortal still listened seriously despite the discomfort in his body.

'Huh?Why are not you talking? '

Jiajing suddenly discovered that Daozu had stopped speaking while standing where he was.

It's not that Ji Boying paused on purpose, but some minor problems.

"Reminder: Patch has arrived"

"A mandatory update will start soon"

This time, there was no need for Ji Boying to take the initiative to confirm, the light screen appeared automatically in front of him, and a large string of silver codes slid past quickly. This process lasted about 3 minutes.

When the patch update was over, Ji Boying hadn't waited to check what was in the patch package.

"Latest update package detected"

"Whether to update"

"whether"

'Update after mandatory patch? '

With a feeling of wanting to smash the keyboard, Ji Boying confirmed "Yes" with a thought.

It was the same process again, and the silver code flowed rapidly again. Compared with the patch update just now, the update package time doubled, and it took about 5 minutes to finally complete it.

Taking a deep breath secretly, Ji Boying quickly understood the content of the patch and update.

'What a piece of shit. '

The main content of this patch pack: Once the time-space namer dies, the corresponding time-space entrance will be closed.

For example, Tianshun Time and Space, even though Heihua Zhu Qizhen has stepped down, Tianshun Time and Space is still named after his second year name, so Heihua Zhu Qizhen must not be quaked, once it is, the entrance of this time and space will be closed. will close.

In fact, Tianshun was fine. The biggest problem was Hong Xi's time and space, which had been sped up for half a year. If there was no intervention, Hong Xi would only have three or four months left in his life.

The main content of the update package: Heroic Spirit Summoning function.

'Heroic spirits call. '

' Bells. '

Ji Boying pondered for a while, and he roughly understood what the spirit summoning meant, that is, he could summon people who had died in the current era in the current time and space, let them manifest in the current time and space, and continue to work.

In other words, the summoning condition is that this person died in the current dynasty, for example, if someone died in the Jiajing Dynasty, then this person can be manifested in Jiajing time and space, but not in other time and space.

'This dog system, the dead will squeeze it. '

But for Ji Boying, this is a good feature, for example, he has always regretted not being able to see the demeanor of Hong Wuchang.

After thinking about it, Ji Boying looked at Jiajing.

"Your cabinet needs to be reshuffled."

Ji Boying didn't say much, and went straight to the point.

In Ji Boying's view, whether it is Xia Yan, Yan Song, or the latecomer Xu Jie, in terms of political ability alone, except for Yan Song, a waste who only knows how to pull his son to make money, Xia Yan and Xu Jie can indeed be regarded as Is the forefront.

However, this is the Jiajing Dynasty.

At this time point, what the chief minister of the cabinet who is the foreman of the government does not need pure political ability, but the courage to accumulate and reform the old and eliminate the evil.

Xia Yan and Xu Jie belonged to the ruling conservatives. From a historical point of view, the core of all the policies and guidelines of these two people during their tenure as chief assistant was to maintain the Ming Dynasty from overturning and maintain the interests of the inherent class.

Of course, this also includes their own interests.

Let's not talk about Xia Yan.

Even Xu Jie and Xu Shoufu, who single-handedly promoted Zhang Juzheng and praised by later generations, have written records of the 24 hectares of fertile land under his name that Hai Qingtian insisted on.

Just ask, even the chief minister of the current cabinet is blatantly taking the lead in land annexation, how can the state affairs get back on the right track.

"Master, the disciples also want to change, but there is really no one available."

Jiajing frowned tightly, showing a trace of helplessness in his expression.

Although he devoted himself to cultivating immortals, before this, Jiajing also thought about strengthening the country and enriching the people, and also wanted to sweep away the bad government.

After all, he is not Wanli, and he is not considered to be in court, but he has never relaxed on the court until his death. It is a completely different concept from Wanli's complete failure.

It's just that with the death of one person and the occurrence of Renyin's change, Jiajing completely gave up the reform.

That person is Zhang Cong.

And Jiajing realized that if he continued to engage in special activities, it would probably cause more outrageous, dangerous and reckless murders than the palace on fire and the change of Renyin.

Now that I have hid in the deep palace, where else can I hide.

"Man, I'll give it to you."

Ji Boying's voice fell.

In front of Jiajing, there is an old man with a white beard, condensed from nothingness.

This person's name is Zhang Cong.

In some books, the idol Zhang Juzheng worshiped all his life, the great reformer, was actually written as a narrow-minded villain. Book.

Zhang Cong was a well-known late bloomer in the Ming Dynasty. He was a Jinshi at the age of 47 and started with great etiquette.

The matter of grand rites seems to be a simple matter of status, but in essence, it is actually the ultimate game between the imperial power and the civil servant group.

Whoever wins will have the right to speak, and whoever will take the initiative in the next step.

Zhang Cong supports Da Yili.

To him, the nature of the ceremony is not important, what is important is that this is an opportunity for superiors and an opportunity to display their ambitions.

In the seven years of Zhang Cong's reign as the chief assistant, he carried out extremely thorough reforms of the bad governance of the Jiajing Dynasty during the three ups and downs.

First, clean up the farmland of honored relatives; second, remove the guarding eunuchs; third, crack down on corruption and perversion of the law; fourth, strict supervision system; Seventh, correct the title and ceremonies of Confucius; eighth, rectify the army regiment; ninth, reuse capable ministers and officials to solve the frontier crisis; tenth, measure land and simplify the tax and service system.

The ten reforms, together with the previous big ceremony, involved the imperial succession system, official selection system, taxation system, national supervision system, government organization system, national defense system, etc. of the Ming Dynasty.

This change can be said to be the most thorough, three-dimensional, and comprehensive system change since the founding of Ming Taizu.

Any one of them is a major event that benefits the country and the people, it is a strategy to change the old and get rid of the bad, and it is something that people like Yang Tinghe, Xia Yan, and Xu Jie dare not think about or do.

Because of this shuffling system change, it will inevitably offend all the interest groups in the empire. The entire powerful group of Ming Dynasty will try their best to kill Zhang Cong, and it will be difficult to leave a clean name even in later generations.

Cleaning up the Zhuangtian of the vassal king's relatives and eunuchs is equivalent to letting the powerful spit out what they have eaten.

The eunuchs lost their power to guard the local area, and the local administrative system returned to a normal state. The centuries-old abuses were wiped out, and the eunuchs' rights and interests suffered a huge loss.

Strictly crack down on corruption and improve supervision. Civilian organizations have been purged. Under strict system constraints, they can no longer take bribes so blatantly, and their work efficiency has risen sharply. Of course it was extremely painful.

What makes the civil official group even more uncomfortable is Zhang Cong's reform of the imperial examination. Under the implementation of the "three ways to advance" law, the status of officials with Jinshi background has declined compared to before, and Juren and Suigong have also become a way out, greatly expanding the It was under the influence of this employment route that Hai Qingtian became an official.

Under Zhang Cong's big stick reform, the atmosphere of the entire Jiajing Dynasty quickly improved.

Especially after the reform of the national supervision system and the imperial examination system, the atmosphere has quickly changed from impetuous and extravagant to shame-conscious and honest.

If it can continue and implement the entire Jiajing Dynasty, then Jiajing Zhongxing is imperative. It is by no means a ZTE that only survives in history books like Hongzhi, but a real reproduction of the glory of the Ming Dynasty.

It's a pity that after Zhang Cong died of illness and conservatives like Xia Yan came to power, all this went down the drain.

Zhang Cong's political style is similar to that of the former Qin Wang Meng, who dared to think and act, and seized the day and night. If anyone stopped his new deal, it would be Buddhas blocking and killing Buddhas, and gods blocking and killing gods.

Only this kind of person can forcefully turn the bow of a ship back on the right track when it goes astray.

People like Yang Tinghe, Xia Yan, and Xu Jie, all they do is to keep the ship from going astray, but the deeper the erroneous path, the deeper the accumulated evils, and the harder it is for future generations to turn back.

There are often ministers who maintain stability, and there are rarely one ministers who reform in a hundred years.

Because of this, Zhang Cong's desire for reform has long been discovered by the civil official group, and the entire civil official group is extremely guarded against Zhang Cong.

Before Zhang Cong wanted to enter the cabinet, he couldn't pass the courtiers' meeting at all. He could only accept Jiajing's decree to join the cabinet under the contempt of other courtiers.

But Zhang Cong obviously doesn't care about this, what he wants is to be able to do practical things.

Zhang Juzheng admired Zhang Cong very much throughout his life. When compiling the Records of Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty, he wrote: "Xu Yongjia (Zhang Cong) is highly praised because of his similar talents and skills, so he admires him and praises him."

When Zhang Juzheng came to power, he promulgated a series of reforms and new policies, including one of the whipping laws, which were largely based on the foundation and strategy of Zhang Cong's reforms back then.

And there is one point worth mentioning.

Whether it's Yang Tinghe, Xia Yan, Xu Jie, Gao Gong, or even Zhang Juzheng, the handsome guy who became famous through the ages because of the reform.

No matter what they did during their administration, the top leaders of the Ming cabinet had an extremely extravagant personal life, and it was a cramp to make money one by one.

When these chief ministers were in office, they also opened their mouths to fight corruption and advocate integrity. The big tigers and small flies turned one after another, but they never opposed themselves.

But Zhang Cong is the only one who leads by example and is honest and upright.

He served as the chief assistant in Beijing for seven years, and when he left Beijing, he carried a simple luggage and left.

After serving as the chief assistant for seven years, he didn't even have a house or an acre of land in the capital. This is a famous reformer who is worthy of praise from later generations and dedicated to the public. He is definitely not a villain in a certain book.

History can be joked about, but it must not be nonsense.

Moreover, although Zhang Cong was a civil servant, he never formed a party for personal gain, and everything was done in business, which is the main reason why he has been excluded by the civil official group all the time.

The lotus comes out of the mud without being stained, and it will naturally be broken.

Back then, Jiajing Hotline promoted Zhang Cong and trusted him completely, not just because Zhang Cong supported Da Yili.

After all, it was not only Zhang Cong who supported Jiajing at that time, but more of the sympathy between the monarch and his ministers, more of the unity of the monarch and his ministers, and more of his ambition to change the old and get rid of the bad.

"Zhang Fujing!"

When Jiajing saw Zhang Cong, he was so shocked that he almost jumped up in fright.

At that time, Zhang Cong wrote a letter requesting to change his name in order to avoid Zhu Houcong's Zong character. Jiajing gave him the name Fujing and the style name Maogong.

Not only Jiajing was stunned, but Zhang Cong was also stunned.

Looking at the surrounding scenery and looking at the Emperor Jiajing in front of him, Zhang Cong looked confused, thinking that he had already been buried in the ground?How did you dig me out of the coffin!

Just when Zhang Cong was in a daze, a voice came.

"You have ten years to reset your New Deal and solidify it while grooming your successor."

This new function of Heroic Spirit Summoning has a time limit, that is, the summoned Heroic Spirit can only live for ten years.

The voice fell.

Zhang Cong was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously looked at Ji Boying.

He became an official at the age of 47. From a second-class Jinshi to a low-level official, he seized the right time and became the chief assistant of the cabinet in just six or seven years. How can he not be smart.

In an instant, he understood that the reason why he was able to come back to life was all because of the person in front of him.

I can't believe it!

"The Taoist ancestor gave you a new life, and you still don't kneel down to thank you."

Jiajing was surprised and thought it was normal.

After all, the master is the ancestor of the gods and gods, and it is not easy to resurrect an individual mortal.

'It turns out that there are really gods in the world! '

Although Zhang Cong got along with Jiajing, he actually didn't approve of Jiajing's cultivating immortals all the time, after all, he thought it was too nonsense.

But at this moment, he believed it.

Plop, kneel down.

Zhang Cong, an old man in his 60s, gave Ji Boying a solid kowtow.

No one wants to die, and it is ten years to live ten years longer, and Zhang Cong did die with regret, because he did not find a successor who could inherit his last wish and carry out the reform to the end.

"It just so happens that the six ministries of the cabinet of your dynasty are all in the Taigaoxuan Palace, it is better to hit the sun than choose the day."

Ji Boying glanced at Zhang Cong and Jiajing.

After the words fell, the figures of the three disappeared from the Taimiao.

........................

Taigao Xuandian, Nine Heavens Thunder Altar.

Xia Yan, Yan Song, and their respective parties, this meeting has already turned the sky upside down.

After all, it's already torn face, either you die or I die, if you don't know who is high, you won't be able to go home to accompany your wife today.

Xu Jie silently lingered in the crowd without saying a word.

His gaze accidentally swept over the thunder altar, and his pupils shrank sharply.

He was not astonished by the appearance of Daozu and Jiajing Immortal, but the man who had died and made the entire civil servant group and the entire powerful group tremble and fear in the early years of Jiajing.

He is back.

Xu Jie: "Cheat a corpse? ! '
