Chapter 110
"Emperor Zhengde was still young when he succeeded to the throne, but at the age of fourteen or five years, he grew up under the love of his parents. Suddenly, his father disappeared, and such a big country was handed over to him. People who have experienced troubles must not be used to carrying such a heavy burden."

Wuyou sighed: "And when the Ming Court came into his hands, there were actually a lot of disadvantages."

"As we mentioned earlier, the Emperor Jiaomen lost many capable ministers in the Tumubao battle, including many nobles. After the restoration, he insulted the generals, which greatly increased the power of civil servants."

"In addition, Xiaozong's preferential treatment of civil servants made the civil servant group no longer able to suppress it."

"Emperor Zhengde actually took over a dynasty controlled by a group of civil servants. Thinking about it now, the little emperor who was still a child sat on the cold throne and looked around. The old minister is old and experienced, and he still wants to suppress him as an emperor, and wants him to follow the route set by the ministers, to be a good emperor in the eyes of civil servants like Xiaozong."

"Of course Emperor Zhengde, who has a lively personality and a rebellious heart, quit."

"Maybe he was also afraid at that time, maybe he thought of other ways, but who told his ancestors to ruin the foundation of the court, which was not repaired in successive dynasties of Xianzong and Xiaozong, and even promoted the civil servants' sitting down. It made the civil servants more and more serious, and Emperor Zhengde had no choice but to promote the eunuchs around him to fight against the civil servants when almost no one was available."

"In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, many emperors actually used eunuchs to fight civil servants. Let alone the effect, it also made party disputes more serious. The Ming Dynasty fell, and party disputes caused many disasters."

When Wuyou said this, a hint of complexity flashed in his eyes.

She didn't know if the Ming Dynasty had not been destroyed, whether there would still be a hundred years of national humiliation.

Under the sky, Ming Xiaozong and Empress Zhang were already in tears.

When Tianmu mentioned that Queen Zhang was a demon who supported her younger brother, Ming Xiaozong had already left for the harem.

He found Queen Zhang, and the husband and wife were speechless.

In the end, it was Empress Zhang who spoke: "Your Majesty, there will be no more concubines. I only hope that your Majesty will be healthy and free from all diseases in this life. I will ignore the rest."

From now on, she only wants to care about Ming Xiaozong's body. She doesn't want to care about anything else, and she doesn't have the energy to care about it.

Ming Xiaozong, who originally had some complaints about Empress Zhang, saw Empress Zhang's appearance, thinking that she was usually so lively, but now she was crying like a tearful person, and his heart softened a long time ago.

Moreover, Ming Xiaozong also knew that no matter how bad Empress Zhang was, she would never be deposed.

Because Queen Zhang is involved with the prince, how will the prince deal with himself if the queen is deposed?
"Okay." He opened his mouth, holding Queen Zhang's hand with tears streaming down his face.

Now the two of them are distressed when they hear about their son's difficulty in succeeding to the throne.

Empress Zhang has long forgotten what kind of brother she is, what kind of brother is she?The son is the most important thing.

But the kings of all dynasties before the Ming Dynasty were expressionless and silent.

They don't know what to say.

Do we still want to say that righteousness should not promote eunuchs?

They are all emperors, and they can understand the emperor's mind. What can he do when he reaches that point?
After a long while, Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "It's just that you are called the son of heaven, and you are not worthy of your descendants. What evil did you do?"

"Emperor Zhengde is different from his father. His father was weak since he was a child, and he was a weak emperor. But Zhengde was smart since he was a child. He liked horseback riding and archery. He was a capable emperor. He was also lively and active like Queen Zhang. In the palace, those civil servants asked him to follow the rules, everything should be done according to the rules, no mistakes were allowed, and he was asked to accept advice carefully, and he had to listen to the civil servants."

"This is a big deal. It really aroused Emperor Zhengde's rebellious mentality."

"Anyone who has studied pedagogy knows that the more children go against him in many cases, the more energetic he will be, and there is a word in later generations called the second period. Children in this period are when the worldview is about to be formed but not yet formed. They They yearn for maturity, but they are really immature, they are self-centered, they don't like to listen to others whispering in their ears, and they have a super rebellious heart."

"And when Emperor Zhengde succeeded to the throne, he was in the second period of middle school. It is conceivable how tired he is of those old-fashioned civil servants."

Emperor Zhengde had been listening, and couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

But it's just that, he just doesn't like to listen to those civil servants' speeches, they go on and on, and they have to talk about one thing repeatedly, which makes him very headache.

He was thinking that these civil servants were always talking about the three cardinal principles and five permanent principles, about men being superior to women and being inferior to women, but he didn't like to hear it. When he took control of the power, he would, as the fairy wished, greatly improve the status of women and make everyone treat women well.

Holding his chin, Emperor Zhengde couldn't help but wonder, when will he truly take power?
Wuyou's words continued: "One side is the treacherous civil servant group, and the other side is the young emperor who has been smart since childhood. On the one hand, he wants to lead the other party on the right track, to be a stable and kind emperor like Xiaozong, but on the other hand, he is self-centered. , want to uprightly control the power, and be an emperor with both civil and military skills. When the two sides collide, it is not sparks or different fireworks, but a battlefield filled with gunpowder. Well, this makes Zhengde The emperor wants to come in the opposite direction, the more you want me to do something, I will not do it, the more you don’t want to see it, the more I will do it, I can’t screw you, but I can piss you off.”

At this point, Wuyou couldn't help but laugh.

She always felt that Emperor Zhengde was a very individual emperor. His character and his path to becoming an emperor were different from any other emperor.

Worry-free laughed, and many people couldn't help laughing too.

Some people thought of the stubborn boy in their own family, and couldn't help saying: "The fairy is right, many children are like this."

Qin Dynasty
The First Emperor also had a smile on his face.

He thought of himself, he was also a young man enthroned, if it wasn't for Lu Buwei's suppression, he couldn't be in charge, maybe he would do something rebellious.

汉朝
Liu Che also thought that he often left the palace in low clothes, galloped on horseback, and reported his brother-in-law's name when he got into trouble, which made his brother-in-law's reputation bad.

Looking at this Emperor Zhengde again, it seems quite interesting.

Tang Dynasty
Li Shimin also thought of his teenage years, when he dared to do anything back then, he had to try anything that was fun and exciting.

He nodded: "Young people naturally have to be in high spirits. If you want to force young people to be as stable as adults, it will be counterproductive."
