Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 228 228 Zhu Houzhao’s Second Appearance
Muying was adopted by Zhu Yuanzhang as his adopted son at the age of eight. At that time, Lao Zhu had no children.

When she was eighteen years old, Mu Ying was entrusted with important tasks by Zhu Yuanzhang.

After seven years of controlling the world's military forces in the Governor's Mansion, he was released to Guan Shaanxi to train troops here.

After the last battle in the northwest, although Feng Sheng won the victory in Gansu, he led his troops to withdraw in order to avoid standing out alone.

Since Mu Ying reported the robbery of the Uzang envoy, she also sent messages to Nanjing and continuously sent scouts to investigate.

But none of those scouts reacted as if they were struck by miasma.

Fortunately, the emperor wrote a letter to him, asking him to select a thousand soldiers from the army to go to the Qinghai-Tibet area.

Bring candies and local butter tea with you, and a batch of Rhodiola rosea medicinal materials will be sent to you immediately.

This is to test whether the Central Plains people can overcome altitude sickness after entering the plateau.

This is a secret recipe and should not be passed on lightly.

Zhu Biao showed his father the memorial from the grain chief.

After he became emperor, his view on war was to use troops cautiously and not to resort to violence.

It is not allowed to use means such as kindness and gentleness, and it is also not allowed to use Confucianism to influence them and make them consciously change their evil ways and do good.

Use their heads to warn other people who have different intentions.

First, they deceive the court into reducing or exempting the money, and then collect it from the people normally to earn the "price difference" in the middle.

There he wanted to verify the secret recipe sent to him by the First and Second Emperors and prepare for the advance of the army.

Regarding the tyranny and hostility of these few people towards Ming Dynasty, Ming Dynasty must use military actions to completely kill them.

He thought for a while and found that it was really appropriate for this group of people to go.

"Dad, I believe that righteousness must be corrected, otherwise we would not be able to meet again so soon."

Especially because although he is the lord of the world, he still has no fucking money!
Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking about saving money for his own life and that of his family, killing corrupt officials to get back the money that belonged to the court, and trying to make money from brothels, all in order to fill the huge hole in military expenditures.

After Zhu Yuanzhang made arrangements for Mao Xiang, he returned to the palace and the two of them had a chat about the grain chief.

Therefore, I plan to send a group of people to investigate at the grassroots level. Do you have any candidates? "

As a result, Ming Dynasty must punish these few upper-class elements with force.

However, Wang Buli reminded us today that we cannot easily believe them, in case they deliberately exaggerate the disaster in order to embezzle taxes and grain.

However, there are always a small number of upper-class elements. Once the Ming Dynasty shows accommodation and indulgence to them, they do not know their own surnames and begin to unscrupulously "endanger the security of ethnic minority people and the Ming Dynasty."

Because Lao Zhu believed that fighting was too expensive.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang told him in the letter that he would soon send Duke Deng Yu as the commander-in-chief and you Mu Ying as the deputy commander-in-chief to pacify Tubo. When the time comes, they will go to the Kunlun Mountains to make the Tubo people realize who is the leader of the world. Owner.

"Just do it!"

This was also the idea behind Zhu Yuanzhang's immediate counterattack after receiving the news from Mu Ying.

After several days, Zhu Yuanzhang and his son finally got the opportunity to enter the fairyland.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned:
“We knew that flooding in Shangyuan County was serious, but we never expected that flooding in other places would also be serious.

Facing his father's questioning, Zhu Biao took a long time before he put a smile on his face again:
"Then let's send the supervisors to check on him first. It's just a good time to test their quality. My cousin has trained them in marching, so we should let them go on an excursion nearby to see the results."

What do the rest of the surrounding people who surrender to the Ming Dynasty think?
What's more, Zhu Yuanzhang also wanted to control the Western Regions.

They took a closer look and saw that it was still the Emperor Zhengde they had seen in the fairyland last time.

Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely cautious about using troops for border defense and those areas where ethnic minorities gathered.

But because His Majesty said it, he still carried it out firmly.

"That's fine. It saves me the trouble of knowing only one-sided affairs of future generations after they become emperors. It's not for me to judge."

Of course, Lao Zhu is not a person who likes fighting.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Biao to write it down. Although he had already sent an inspector to investigate, the normal process could still be followed.

At this time, Mu Ying had already led troops towards Xining.

Mu Ying felt strange about the secret recipe. After all, he had heard the rumors a long time ago and had never found a way to crack it.

Such a large army would be able to defeat the forces around Tubo, and would also be able to seize control of Tibet in the future.

Regarding his son's proposal, Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect to send this group of people.

The most important thing is to hope that this test can be effective.

Now that the Uzang tribute envoys were intercepted and killed by the Tibetan remnants, they must have colluded with the Northern Yuan Dynasty and wanted to become enemies of the Ming Dynasty. It was right to kill them.

He especially called on the ethnic minorities in the north to join him in overthrowing Dayuan's rule.

My younger brother came to pay tribute, and you killed him mercilessly. This is a slap in the face of Ming Dynasty.
If I don’t fuck you, will you continue to slap me in the face?

The most important thing is that they are unruly.

Moreover, when he became emperor, he also began to pay attention to his teachers' reputation.

……

Only in this way can we ensure that people in minority areas have a peaceful and stable environment.

Zhu Biao also echoed.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, this is the reason.

Then the father and son saw a team of eunuchs surrounding Emperor Zhengde.

These eunuchs complained that the current decline in the court's income was mainly caused by serious mismanagement and corruption by civil servants, and their families had too much fertile land.

In fact, after hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang already somewhat agreed in his heart.

The taxes collected by our founding country are actually higher than those of Zhengde, which only shows that there is a lot of corruption.

So the eunuch named Liu Jin proposed a general review of officials responsible for financial affairs and the imposition of fines on those officials who were found to have neglected their duties.

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang, he felt something was wrong, because Liu Jin organized dances, horned animals, a zoo of rare animals, and of course a band for the emperor.

It was he who first proposed to the emperor that the emperor might be willing to disguise himself and go wandering on the streets of the capital, and the emperor indeed liked this kind of activity.

All these entertainments made the young emperor less interested in state affairs, and he gradually entrusted the arrangements for state affairs to Liu Jin.

"What a plaything!"

Zhu Biao laughed twice. The young emperor succeeded to the throne and had no idea of ​​handling government affairs at all.

On the contrary, he was bewitched by the eunuch and only knew pleasure. How could the Ming Dynasty survive?

"No minister dares to give advice?" Zhu Biao still had great expectations for civil servants.

The emperor was deceived by the villain, and it was time for them to step forward.

Then Zhu Biao, the Minister of Household Affairs, took the lead in requesting the emperor to execute the eunuch Liu Jin. This move was also supported by a group of eunuchs in the palace.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help laughing when he saw this.

These great eunuchs served the previous emperor, and were obviously not happy to have their power taken away by the eunuchs around the new emperor.

He prevented chaos in the harem, but he didn't expect the eunuchs to form cliques.

After all, it is Chi Guoguo's hatred among peers.

Especially the eunuch profession is even more difficult.

However, there was a spy in the civil service who told Liu Jin about the matter, and Liu Jin led the other seven people to complain before the minister.

Liu Jin told the young emperor that the entire incident was a predetermined conspiracy to restrict his actions.

The great eunuch in charge of the rites conspired with the great bachelors in this conspiracy.

The next day, these people really started to write letters, and as Liu Jin said, they were all intended to restrict his behavior as emperor.

Zhu Houzhao thought to himself that no one cared about me when I was the prince.

Now that I have become the emperor, everyone has to take care of me.

You are just bullying me for being young.

But after all, these people were the team left to him by his father, and he could only honestly say that he would change.

When the next court came, Zhu Houzhao believed Liu Jin's words even more and lost his temper.

Since I can’t control the outer court, can’t I even control the inner court?
Zhu Houzhao immediately asked Liu Jin to take charge of the ceremonial department.

The remaining seven eunuchs replaced Liu Jin's enemies in various important eunuch institutions and military positions.

The chief eunuchs who had opposed Liu Jin were dismissed, expelled, and later assassinated on the way to Nanjing.

"Wait." Zhu Biao suddenly asked:
"Shouldn't the capital of our Ming Dynasty be in Nanjing?"

"How could they be killed on the way from the capital to Nanjing?"

Facing his son's question, Zhu Yuanzhang explained:
"I saw in the fairyland that I wanted to move the capital when I got older, so I sent you to investigate everywhere."

"Oh."

Zhu Biao understood that after all, Nanjing's control over the northwest and other places was too weak. In addition, Beiyuan had not been eliminated, so a large number of soldiers needed to be deployed in the north.

If the emperor doesn't go there and sends other generals, my father may feel uneasy.

It seems that Ming Dynasty will move its capital in the future.

"Biao'er, have you seen Liu Jin's method?"

Zhu Biao recalled a few things carefully and said:

"This man was very smart. He did not accuse the emperor of the civil servants who attacked him, and he took advantage of Emperor Zhengde's dislike of the civil servants for disciplining him.

He beguiled the emperor and said that even the eunuchs left behind by the late emperor were on the side of the civil servants. How would your majesty live in the future? The imperial power was restricted by the ministers. This was something that no emperor wanted to happen, especially the collusion between the inner court and the outer court. "

Liu Jin transferred the conflict in one hand and used his strength to make a direct comeback.

"Yes."

Zhu Yuanzhang really didn't expect that this eunuch named Liu Jin quite understood people's hearts.

If it were placed on Zhu Yuanzhang, no one would be able to keep it.

"It can be seen that Emperor Zhengde is reluctant to attack his playmates."

Zhu Yuanzhang also mentioned that this child was nostalgic, but he was a little nostalgic too much and didn't know what state affairs meant.

Anyone who is harmful to Ming Dynasty can be killed.

Such a mother-in-law is not suitable to be an emperor.

But when Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, the child Zhengde was not as old as Wang Buli. It was normal to be a little playful, but it was abnormal for him to be an emperor.

Next, Liu Jin restored his ancestral methods and began to fight for civil servants, but someone was actually killed.

Then more civil servants filed letters because of this incident, and then they were involved in court battles.

Among them was a low-level official named Wang Shouren, who was demoted to Longchang by the way.

By the way, they began to put shackles on these civil servants, and the atmosphere of the Zhengde Dynasty suddenly retreated to the Hongwu Dynasty.

So who can bear it?
Then Liu Jin encountered collective boycott by more civil servants.

But in fact, if the courtiers wanted to work, they had to prepare two manuscripts, and one of them was handed over to the emperor as usual, but Zhengde didn't pay much attention to it and only checked it randomly.

The other share must be given to Liu Jin.

"Okay, okay, the Ming Dynasty has another emperor!"

In addition to Liu Jin's "Taizu style" in attacking civil servants, it is simply impossible not to be corrupt.

Everyone who came to Beijing to report to the emperor had to give him money.

Whoever dares not to send him off will be dismissed before he can get home.

Those ministers obviously didn't know how to pay for it themselves, so they used Liu Jin's name to search for money in the local area and give him 10%.

This is the specialty of the Ming Dynasty civil servants.

You take the notoriety, but I get the benefits!
Who made you, Liu Jin, famous all over the country? It makes sense that you are responsible for all evil deeds.

It would not be an exaggeration to call him a great saint.

The court was busy fighting for power and wealth, and various local officials searched for money, causing many people to be unable to survive.

Therefore, civil unrest broke out all over the place.

"Hey, what's going on?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was seeing a civil uprising somewhere, so why did he interrupt the broadcast?
As soon as the scene changed, Wang Buli started watching a song and dance performance again, and this time two fairies appeared directly.

One was wearing black stockings, the other was wearing nothing, and they were posing in front of him.

"Damn it, this is the critical moment."

Zhu Yuanzhang was indignant.

But this was in the fairyland. Wang Buli couldn't hear what he said, and he didn't know anyone was looking at him.

However, Zhu Biao is still young and energetic, and looking at these two women, the visual impact is quite big.

Although he was not in pure love, Lu's belly was getting bigger and bigger, but he had never experienced the scene of two women serving him at once.

After all, he only has two women at the moment.

When he returned to the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang was still frowning, and Zhu Biao was indeed feeling uncomfortable.

"Biao'er, tell me, how should we prevent this eunuch thing?"

"I do not know."

Zhu Biao tried his best to control the expression on his face and answered breathlessly.

"Yeah, you don't know."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, the emperor was young and the eunuchs were in power.

How to avoid this?
worry!

Now Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't feel the slightest pleasure about entering the fairyland, and he is no longer as excited as he was at the beginning.

Every time I go there I find a lot of problems.

It was clearly stipulated that eunuchs were not allowed to study or interfere in politics, but the eunuch Liu Jin really did not study much. He took care of the government affairs that the emperor did not deal with.

"You should take the time to ask Wang Buli about this matter. What if he has a good idea?"

Zhu Biao agreed on his face, but he really understood in his heart.

Eunuchs' manipulation of power has not been avoided from ancient times to the present. Is it possible that Wang Buli can change it?
Impossible to think about!

Zhu Yuanzhang was upset and angry, and asked Zhu Biao to immediately call Wang Buli into the palace to inquire, under the pretext of telling him to come to the birthday party.

So when Wang Buli was strolling around the county government office, he was invited into the palace.

After Zhu Biao saw him coming, he didn't look like he had been sucked dry by two fairies, nor had he been sucked out yang and replenished yin. It was probably a method of dual cultivation?
Of course, Zhu Biao would not take the initiative to ask these questions, so as not to expose the fact that he could enter the fairyland through Wang Buli.

"Brother-in-law, I have called you here because I have a good thing to tell you."

"Ok?"

Wang Buli sat on a chair and looked at Zhu Biao with a suspicious look on his face.

"My father has decided to summon you on his birthday and introduce you properly to his relatives."

"what?"

Wang Buli thought he could see Zhu Yuanzhang's true face, but he had to wait until the wedding day.

I never thought that it would be arranged in advance.

Wang Buli smiled, but in his heart he was in disbelief.

I finally looked forward to one of the three days of Ming Dynasty vacation. How precious it is!
In the end, you asked me to come into the palace to wish you, Lao Zhu, a happy birthday?

I was not happy that day!

So Wang Buli could only smile on his face: "Your Majesty is finally willing to see me."

"Are you very curious about your father?"

"Of course I'm curious. What father-in-law wouldn't take a good look at whether his son-in-law is qualified, let alone the emperor."

Wang Buli snorted and said, "If you hadn't changed my Prince Consort's sign from wooden to bronze, I would have thought that I would be replaced by someone else."

"Hahaha, that's impossible."

Zhu Biao waved his hands repeatedly, the marriage process was almost complete, how could the majestic emperor take the initiative to regret it?

There are ways to make you take the initiative to regret it!

Not to mention Wang Buli's importance to the Ming Dynasty, no one in the world can replace his existence.

"My father is working hard on state affairs day and night. In fact, he has been secretly observing you for a long time, but he didn't let you know."

"Oh I got it."

Wang Buli agreed with this statement.

After all, it is Zhu Yuanzhang. If his balls ache when he is idle, then he is not Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Biao asked casually: "Brother-in-law, I recently encountered a problem when reading history books. I want you to explain it to me."

"I?"

Wang Buli pointed at himself and said with a smile: "I can only solve simple cases, how can I solve some historical problems for the prince? You think too highly of me."

You know the emperor's mind, and you're pretending to be here with me. Do you really think I don't know your abilities?
"Just chatting, I just like your ability to solve cases. Maybe I can peel off the cocoons and find good clues."

"In that case, then Prince Brother, just say it, and I will try my best to peel off the cocoon for you."

"Okay, okay." Zhu Biao sighed:

"The eunuch Zhao Gao of the Qin Dynasty manipulated state affairs, Shi Chang of the Eastern Han Dynasty served the country and brought disaster to the people, and the eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty even dared to dethrone the emperor and kill the king!
Can you tell me how to prevent eunuchs from taking over power? "

There were not a few eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty who exercised power. He thought carefully about whether there were eunuchs in the Qing Dynasty who exercised power.

Probably when Nurhaci was being served, there were no eunuchs, they were all slaves who had not been castrated, so there were rumors that his home was stolen.

Wang Buli lightly pressed down on the table: "Brother Prince, I just thought of a way to prevent eunuchs from taking over power."

"Say it quickly."

Zhu Benben didn't have high expectations, but he was very excited when Wang Buli suddenly said that he had an idea.

"That means we don't need eunuchs."

"Forehead."

The excitement on Zhu Biao's face disappeared immediately after hearing this.

It is obviously unrealistic to not have eunuchs in the palace.

But I have to say that what Wang Buli said is really a good choice.

If the eunuchs were removed from the palace, would anyone be able to replace them?

"Brother Prince, does the method I mentioned make sense?"
