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

Chapter 234 Chai Rong: Xianghaier has a loyal nature and is worthy of being a loyal minister!

'Chai Rong. '

Ji Boying looked at the barrage flashing in front of his eyes, and some historical events automatically appeared in his mind, about that chaotic period of endless disputes.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the world fell apart.

The level of chaos in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms (Liang, Tang, Jin, Han, and Zhou) was far greater than the conflict between the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty and the fall of Jin between the north and the south.

In a short period of 53 years, the world went through five dynasties and changed hands to fourteen emperors with nine surnames.

The frequency of such short-term royal flag changes in the Central Plains Dynasty can be said to be extremely rare.

War, coup, and patricide were commonplace in this era. Seven of the fifteen emperors came to power on the blood of their fathers and brothers.

It’s so confusing that only you can’t imagine it, and there’s nothing you can’t do.

The person who truly started the process of unifying the world and opened the door to the end of the troubled times was Chai Rong, Shizong of the Later Zhou Dynasty. Apart from his obsessive-compulsive disorder and short life, this man was almost perfect in other aspects.

When Chai Rong came to the throne, he once made a bold statement: I should use ten years to expand the world, ten years to support the people, and ten years to bring peace.

To be able to shout such slogans during the Five Dynasties period shows that it is not simple.

In fact, if God pretended that Chai Rong had been in office for 30 years, he might really be able to do this.

Because it has only been six years, all signs indicate that this man named Chai is not a loser at all, and he really has the ability to navigate troubled times.

From the moment Chai Rong ascended the throne, the Later Zhou Dynasty began to unify the world. First, he defeated the coalition forces of the Northern Han and Liao Kingdoms, and established his throne in one fell swoop. Then he conquered Shu in the West, the Southern Tang Dynasty in three campaigns, and the Northern Expedition in one fell swoop. The Liao Kingdom is invincible.

The trend of unifying the world is already unstoppable.

Even the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, which was sold to the Liao people by Shi Jingtang, in the sixth year of Xiande, Chai Rong took only one month to take back the three prefectures and three passes without any bloodshed. Everywhere the army passed and the cities along the way were destroyed. Watch the wind return.

If this trend continues, the remaining thirteen states will be just around the corner.

Not only did he unify the world externally, Chai Rong also carried out drastic reforms internally, improving the national laws that had completely collapsed after the end of the Tang Dynasty, and promoting new people in an eclectic way.

Except for the monks from all over the country who cursed Chai Rong to die early in front of the Buddha every day, other reviews were unanimous.

Unfortunately, due to jealousy of talented people or the appearance of Buddha, Boss Chai only worked for six years after he ascended the throne, five and a half years to be precise.

It took Boss Chai five and a half years to lay a solid foundation for world domination, and all of it was dedicated free of charge to his confidant Zhao Kuangyin.

Ji Boying thought for a moment.

It is indeed a pity to think about the life of this dear friend Chai Rong.

If Chai Rong had not died, the historical process might have completely taken a different path.

In the future world, there will not be a Great Song Dynasty, but it will most likely be a unified dynasty at its peak that took back the sixteen states of Yanyun and allowed the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains to regain the glory of the Tang Dynasty.

As for the cause of Chai Rong's death, there are probably two different versions in later generations.

[-]. Overwork and myocardial infarction.

Chai Rong is a typical perfectionist and a patient with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder. He strives to do his best no matter what he does and does everything himself. This is very similar to the old Zhuge of the Three Kingdoms.

Although he is young, it is not unexpected to have a heart attack due to such fatigue day and night.

Abiao is a living example.

Second, conspiracy to poison.

It is understandable to have this guess, but anything with the word "dragon chair" is not pure.

During Chai Rong's last northern expedition to the Liao Kingdom, he ignored the advice of his generals and decided to forcibly capture the important town of Youzhou (today's Beiping) after taking over Sanzhou.

On the night the decision was announced, Chai Rong suddenly fell seriously ill.

This thing, to be honest, is a bit too coincidental.

Based on this conspiracy theory, many people put the blame on Zhao Da.

But one thing is that this time Zhao Da is probably taking the blame.

After all, at that time, Zhao Dal was just a lieutenant in front of the palace, the third-ranking figure in the military, and his qualifications were new. If the civil and military personnel under Chai Rong were added up, Zhao Dal would not even be ranked among the top five.

What's more, there is no need for Zhao Da to take this risk.

Because if Chai Rong dies, his confidant who was promoted by Chai Rong and whose foundation is not yet solid will most likely die together to a certain extent.

Regarding the cause of Chai Rong's death, Ji Boying casually reviewed it and did not think deeply about it.

decisive.

Ji Boying clicked "No".

Now he has other things to deal with and has no time to talk to Chai Rong for the time being.

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

Later Zhou Xiande time and space, Xiande six years, June.

Kaifeng Imperial Palace, Long Live Hall.

Everyone in the world knows that Chai Rong destroyed Buddha and worshiped Taoism. Therefore, monks all over the world pray to Buddha every day, hoping that Boss Chai will go down and report to Chairman Guo as soon as possible.

At this moment, in the Long Live Hall, there is a Taoist altar.

original.

Chai Rong wanted to go to the Taoist temple in the palace in person to show his sincerity.

However, the severe pain in his heart once again made Chai Rong completely give up the idea of ​​going to the Taoist temple in person, and ordered someone to set up an altar in the Long Live Hall to ask the gods nearby.

Boss Chai, wearing a loose robe, stood in front of the altar with a haggard expression and frowning eyebrows.

"why."

At this moment, he was wondering about one thing.

The incense in my hand cannot be lit no matter what.

And in front of him.

On this altar, there is a wooden sign: Check to be the emperor.

This was what he picked up on the way back from the Northern Expedition.

The reason why Chai Rong wanted to set up an altar to ask Heaven even though he was sick was because he wanted to ask Heaven who this inspection was.

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

Longqing time and space.

Forbidden City, Wenhua Hall.

After Ji Boying decisively rejected Chai Rong's request, he smiled and patted the head of little Wanli in front of him, giving him a look of approval from the immortal master.

"Yes, you have courage."

Xiao Wanli held his face high, full of seriousness.

It can be seen from this that what the little boy just said about replacing his father was not a joke, but really came from the heart.

It seems that even the 11-year-old Wanli can no longer stand his father's shooting games.

"Master Immortal, I have thought about it."

Zhang Juzheng on the side spoke quickly, changing the topic that was about to destroy Zhu Zaijing.

This is really not something that a minister of his can hear. He will easily be tricked if he hears it too much.

"Ah."

"Go ahead."

Ji Boying turned around, teleported to the position of Zhang Juzheng's lesson plan, and sat down directly.

As soon as he raised his hand, there was a cup of steaming old Pu'er tea in his hand, and he took a sip.

"Yes."

Zhang Juzheng quickly turned around and faced Ji Boying's direction.

He took a deep breath, bowed respectfully, and then continued to speak.

"I think that the system of crown prince should be made some changes on the existing basis, so that we can put an end to the idea of ​​​​passing the throne and ensure the stability of the inheritance of the royal throne."

After saying this, Zhang Juzheng paused for a moment and secretly looked at the immortal master's expression.

"continue."

Ji Boying raised his eyes and glanced at Zhang Juzheng, his eyes telling handsome Zhang not to be afraid and not to stop.

He was very curious as to what Zhang Juzheng, the most powerful ruler in the Ming Dynasty, gave an answer to the issue of the princely prince system, and what suggestions he could make for improvements.

Take another deep breath.

Zhang Juzheng did some mental preparation for himself, and then continued to speak.

"The reason why the collateral clan dares to covet the throne is mainly because it gives the collateral clan the hope of ascending to the throne."

"No matter how big or small the hope is, in order to stabilize the inheritance of the heavenly throne, we must first completely eliminate the existence of this hope."

"So, I think so."

"If the reigning emperor unfortunately dies early and all the princes are dissatisfied with the conditions for the crown prince to assume the throne in the East Palace due to their age, the eldest son of the legitimate emperor will automatically succeed to the throne."

"At the same time, before the death of Emperor Daxing, he will select the most respected people in the royal family who have both ability and political integrity, and together with the important officials at home and abroad, form a temporary collegial cabinet."

"All major military and state affairs will be decided by a temporary collegial cabinet before the emperor takes office. The entire collegial cabinet adopts a voting system."

"When the new emperor reaches the age of fifteen, without any process, the temporary collegial cabinet can be automatically dissolved by default and returned to the new emperor."

Having said this, Zhang Juzheng chose to shut up.

As a minister, in fact, such words should not come out of his mouth.

because.

From the nature of this temporary collegial cabinet, it is obvious that he is assuming the imperial power as a minister, which is definitely a taboo.

In any era, any minister who dared to say such things in public would definitely be dragged out and executed in a matter of minutes, along with attentive one-stop services such as the Zhujiu Clan and others.

After listening to Zhang Juzheng's suggestions about the princely system, Ji Boying looked calm, took a sip of Pu'er tea in the cup, and then raised his eyes to look at handsome boy Zhang.

to be frank.

A little surprised.

The temporary collegial cabinet proposed by Zhang Juzheng is quite similar to a parliamentary system from a structural point of view.

but.

This is indeed not a way.

The core purpose of the previous requirement to stipulate the age of the prince was to prevent the prince from ascending the throne at a young age and being in charge of the country by powerful ministers, and the imperial power was not allowed to return to power when the emperor died prematurely.

The emergence of this collegial cabinet can achieve a certain degree of checks and balances.

The emperor died early and temporarily handed over the imperial power to a collegial cabinet composed of the clan and internal and external courtiers. Under the mutual checks and balances between the clan, civil servants, military generals, and the inner court, no one could get involved in the imperial power. This would ensure to the greatest extent that under the new emperor, The integrity of the imperial power when in charge was to avoid the situation of being too big to lose.

Although under this collegial voting system, many issues of the dynasty will come to a standstill. After all, no one will obey the four forces, but at least the situation when the late emperor passed away can be maintained.

Don't ask for no merit, but ask for no fault.

The emperor's early death was an accident.

The most important thing is to ensure that the country is not in chaos. The temporary collegial cabinet will be used to transition this period of time, which is much more reliable than the system of entrusting ministers, regents, and queen mothers.

Apart from that.

When Zhang Juzheng mentioned the temporary collegiate cabinet, Ji Boying subconsciously thought of another thing.

In the Jiajing time and space, when the Jiajing Immortal was almost burned in the fire by Yan Songyi, Ji Boying took Lao Zhu to the Jiajing time and space. Standing in front of the burned hall, Lao Zhu asked him a question.

Ming Dynasty Zuo, can it last for thousands of years?

At that time, Ji Boying clearly answered Lao Zhu, yes.

But he did not tell Lao Zhu what he had to do to achieve it.

After thinking about it for a while, I decided to find some time to have a good chat with Lao Zhu about this issue.

"Well said."

Regardless of whether what Zhang Juzheng said is implementable and able to think proactively, in the eyes of the immortal master, this is the performance of a good student and should be praised.

Hearing this, Zhang Juzheng saluted quickly.

"Juzheng can only say a few lies, far less than the Immortal Master's case."

"Don't be humble."

Ji Boying stood up, teleported to Zhang Juzheng's side, and patted him on the shoulder again. "I will remember your suggestions."

"Reform is also an attempt. The setting of the system can never compare with the truth of practice. Not only in the prince prince system, but also in the future if you have any questions about other systems, you can give me feedback as soon as possible."

After hearing the words, Zhang Juzheng looked startled and saluted quickly.

"Keep it in mind."

"Ah."

Ji Boying nodded slightly.

"in addition."

"Don't forget what I reminded you before. Teach Zhu Yijun that you must learn to be moderate."

I was reminded of this over and over again, mainly because the little Wanli of Longqing Time and Space was indeed a good seedling, but Zhang Juzheng could no longer let him stifle it.

The voice fell.

Swish.

Ji Boying disappeared on the spot.

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

Hongwu Time and Space, Drunken Immortal Building, Main Hall.

When Ji Boying returned from the Wenhua Palace in Longqing Time and Space, he also brought back all the emperors who were beating up Little Bee in the Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace.

"Suit up."

He glanced at Zhu Zaijing, who was surrounded by a group of Ming emperors. Except for a few vital parts, there was almost no meat on his body.

Little Bee's eyes were filled with tears, looking very weak, pitiful and helpless.

Nothingness changes into things.

In front of Zhu Zaijing, Ji Boying directly presented him with a set of dragon robes.

then.

in a moment.

Ji Boying didn't bother to ring the bell and immediately summoned all the princes who were due to attend classes in various time and space.

all of a sudden.

In the entire main hall, more than 20 people appeared in crowds, showing excitement among each other. The noise gradually started, and it suddenly became lively.

For Ji Boying, it only took a few hours from the end of the previous class to the beginning of this class.

But for these emperors and princes of the Ming Dynasty, a full year and 160 two days have actually passed.

This is like a student who has been taking online classes at home for more than a year. On the first day of school, he will feel a little excited inside.

Everyone's face was now filled with confidence and expectation, as well as unconcealable excitement and nervousness.

In the past year and a half, it seems that these people have not wasted their time and have achieved certain results in their respective time and space.

They all know it too.

In this class, their respective hard work results will be announced.

Guo Zuo.

and their imperial rank.

After working hard for a year and a half, I can finally accept the final result!

"Brother, is this?"

on the podium.

Lao Zhu, who appeared next to Ji Boying, looked at the scene in the main hall with slight surprise, which was quite strange.

Not only Lao Zhu, but also these emperors and princes.

After they appeared, they did not sit down immediately because they did not know where to sit. They found that their original seats were gone.

The entire seating layout of the main hall has changed.

Now in the main hall, under Ji Boying's special instructions in advance, Lianxiang Xiyu had rearranged the seats in the main hall.

The core purpose is to enhance students’ enthusiasm for speaking.

Instead of adopting the original horizontal and vertical arrangement, a block area system was adopted. Those in the same time and space were divided into the same area, and five tables formed a circle.

The time and space where there are not enough people are pieced together from several similar time and space.

For example, Emperor Xuande of the Xuande time and space sat at a table with Zhengtong, Jingtai, etc.

Also.

On both sides of the podium, there are also two separate areas on the left and right.

These two areas are called the external teaching rest area. There are a number of Taishi chairs in the area, and wooden plaques with names engraved in different fonts are hung on the chairs, such as "Li Shimin", "Zhao Kuangyin", etc.

Taking Tang Dynasty as the dividing line, the division before Tang Dynasty is on the left, and the division between Tang Dynasty and after Tang Dynasty is on the right.

"quiet!"

Abiao, who did not go to Longqing time and space together, but had already arrived at Zuixian Tower first, was standing on the left edge of the podium, sweeping past the group of emperors and princes in front of him, and shouted loudly.

The voice fell.

This group of emperors began to calm down gradually, which showed that Teacher A Biao did have some teaching authority.

Then Lianxiang Xiyu stepped forward with a smile and introduced to everyone how to sit.

After a little understanding, everyone finally understood the seating rules, and they took their seats one after another.

It's like changing seats at the beginning of school. You feel something new and then wait for the class teacher to lecture you.

"Your Majesties, Your Highnesses."

"Please hand in your homework~"

Lianxiangxiyu did not leave, smiled and gave a salute, and came to the prince of the emperor of all time and space.

This time, this group of people looked calm. They all took out their homework one by one. They were obviously well prepared.

Only Longqing Xiaobee didn’t even have any underpants on him, let alone homework.

I guess that with how busy this little bee is every day, she really doesn’t have time to do this.

on the podium.

Ji Boying glanced at the group of emperors and princes of the Ming Dynasty who were already seated, and finally glanced at Xiao Zhu Si, who also came to class.

After more than five months of desensitization treatment, this kid has overcome his phobia of the deep sea with strong perseverance. When this class is over, he can be sent back to the sea again.

Then, with a thought, Ji Boying sent three letters of invitation to three non-Ming times and spaces.

They were issued to Zulong, Li Er and Zhao Da respectively.

After all, these three are the rulers of their respective time and space. It seemed a bit rude to come over without saying hello. I didn't pay attention the first time, but this time Ji Boying gave him a little face.

The moment the invitation letter was sent out, almost at the same time, three "Accept" pop-up subtitles popped up in front of Ji Boying's eyes.

It seems that these three people have been waiting for a long time.

Swish.

next interest.

On the seat specially set up for foreign teachers, Zu Long appeared in the foreign teachers' rest area on the left, and Li Er and Zhao Da appeared on the right.

As for Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, his ribs were broken by Li Er's kick, and he is still in a coma. After all, less than an hour has passed in Li Sanlang's time and space.

After a hundred days of broken muscles and bones, some recovered.

As for Wu Zhao and Xiao Pheasant, these will be selected as appropriate when necessary.

"Brother Zheng, Xiao Tang, Xiao Zhao, we haven't seen each other for more than a year, but you still have the same style."

As the host, Lao Zhu naturally took the initiative to say hello and smiled while standing on the podium.

The voice fell.

Zu Long, Li Er, and Zhao Da were all slightly startled and looked at Lao Zhu as if they were looking at a fool.

Because the time in their respective time and space has not been adjusted, the year and a half of the fifteen time and space of the Ming Dynasty is only an hour that has passed for the three of them.

In fact, this is where Li Er and Zhao Da are a little confused. After all, before the last class ended, they had already been prepared to wait for a year and a half. They did not expect that classes would start again so soon.

"Master~"

"It's all collected."

Lianxiang walked up on lotus steps, came to Ji Boying with a stack of memorials, and put all the homework on the lesson plan.

"Ah."

Ji Boying nodded slightly.

Then, there was a slight cough.

In an instant, the slightly noisy main hall suddenly became quiet.

A pair of eyes were all focused on Ji Boying.

These princes and princes of the Ming Dynasty are all looking forward to their respective national achievements in time and space, as well as their respective grades, while Li Er and Zhao Da are concerned about the issues they want to know.

For example, what Li Er wants to know is, what is the relationship between the Anshi Rebellion and the eunuchs' regicide?
For example, what Zhao Da wanted to know was what kind of existence the two emperors Huiqin were, and why did they go hunting in the north together?

As for Zu Long, he probably wanted to know who the 'Chu' from the Chu family was.

"Today's class, before starting our topic, we will first give lectures to the emperors from outside the court."

On the rice paper panel, the two lines of ink written in a year and a half are still there.

"A brief discussion on how to build the future transportation of the Ming Dynasty" and "Exploring the reasons for the fall of Chongzhen."

Ji Boying spoke lightly.

He has to change his homework first.

It would take more than an hour to read through all the summer homework written by more than 20 people.

After finishing his words, he glanced at the three foreign teachers.

It seems that apart from Zu Long, Li Er and Zhao Da are quite well prepared.

Zhao Da stood up very confidently and was obviously planning to be the first to speak.

Ji Boying nodded slightly, then turned around and sat in front of his lesson plan. Just as he was about to open the first homework for correction, the familiar light curtain in his eyes popped up in front of his eyes again.

"Reminder: Chai Rong requests to have a video call with you."

"Do you want to answer the question?"

"whether"

'Everyone is so stubborn and won't give up until they reach the Yellow River. '

Ji Boying glanced at Ying Zheng. Ying Zheng had bombarded him with videos like this before, which was very annoying.

This dog system still has not developed a blacklist function.

Ji Boying frowned slightly, with a hint of irritation, and with a thought, he directly pulled Chai Rong out of his own time and space.

moment.

In the center of the podium, a figure suddenly appeared, facing Zhao Da who had just reached the C position of the podium. They were so close that they could feel the heat of each other's breath.

The confident smile on Zhao Da's face.

At this moment, I froze.

Chai Rong: Xianghaier has broad ears and a loyal nature, making him a loyal minister.

---------

PS: Xianghaier, Zhao Kuangyin’s nickname.

Because Zhao Kuangyin was very fragrant when he was born, his father gave him the nickname Xianghaier.

Fortunately it doesn't stink very much, otherwise it would be called a shit basin.
