The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 579: Emperor Wuzong's Southern Tour and Prince Ning's Rebellion
Big man.

"The intelligence network established by successive emperors has done a great job."

Liu Bang looked at the situation map on the sky curtain and said to Lu Zhi beside him:

"According to the intelligence, we accurately determined that the Tatars would invade the south that year, and with great force, and their target would be Datong, the place the Tatars liked to invade the most."

"It is even possible to judge that the Tatars' purpose was not simply to plunder, but that the new king led a large army to force the Ming Dynasty to agree to trade in order to establish his authority."

"This alone makes him surpass most emperors."

Lu Zhi looked at the sky and raised her eyebrows.

"Isn't it just a coincidence?"

Liu Bang moved closer to Lu Zhi, pinched her earlobe and teased her:

"Just by chance, it only goes through Juyongguan?"

"Heading straight to Datong by chance?"

"Coincidentally, before the Tatars attacked Datong, he ordered the Ministry of Revenue to send a million silver coins to the front line?"

"If it's all just such a coincidence!"

Liu Bang looked at the hand that was slapped away, stroked his beard and smiled disapprovingly:

"That's his destiny!"

A good father will have a bad son, but Nai Gong gave birth to a bad son.

Liu Bang had a smile on his face but sighed in his heart.

How come that kid is so courageous?
And the one at home...

……

Ming dynasty.

"The entire war was planned clearly."

Zhu Yuanzhang subconsciously analyzed the battlefield.

First, make careful pre-war arrangements based on your intelligence advantage.

Both the manpower and military supplies were well prepared, so they were able to afford a three-month war with tens of thousands of troops.

The fact that he was able to lead his attendants into battle personally shows that his horsemanship and ability to command in battle were also quite good.

This does not tally with the allegation that he spent the entire day in the Leopard Room having sex with women.

"Who is his son?"

Old Zhu was puzzled.

Even Zhu Jianshen didn't criticize Zhu Qizhen so harshly.

How come his son is even more cruel than Zhu Jianshen?
Is the transcript written for your father just fabricated?
……

[In June of the 1518th year of the Zhengde reign, AD.]

[Ningxia gave a warning, Zhu Houzhao discussed the northern expedition again, calling himself "the mighty general, the grand master, the state-guarding duke Zhu Shou", and appointed Jiang Bin as the mighty deputy general, and ordered the cabinet to draft an imperial edict.]

……

{Being a general is not enough, one must also be a grand tutor. Being a grand tutor is not enough, one must also be a guardian of the country.}
{This is a brilliant move, pointing fingers at the noses of all the civil and military officials in the court and scolding them.}
{He was not only a civil servant, but also a nobleman.}
{Even in the Zhengde Dynasty, there were still a lot of nobles...}
……

【Grand Secretaries Yang Tinghe, Liang Chu, Jiang Mian, and Mao Ji submitted a petition to advise Zhu Houzhao, but Zhu Houzhao refused to listen.】

【Yang Tinghe therefore claimed to be ill and did not go out. 】

【Zhu Houzhao went to Zuoshun Gate and ordered Liang Chu to draft an edict in front of him. He threatened Liang Chu with a sword. Liang Chu took off his hat and knelt on the ground, weeping and making a plea.】

[Finally, Zhu Houzhao threw down his sword and left, calling himself the general, no longer insisting on drafting a decree, and Jiang Bin also stopped calling himself the deputy general.]

[In addition, Zhu Houzhao ordered the Ministry of Rites to discuss the establishment of a crown prince and to stay in the capital.]

【Liang Chu, Minister of War Wang Qiong and others firmly opposed it, so the matter was terminated.】

……

Datang.

Li Shimin stopped writing, looked at the painting on the table, and nodded with satisfaction.

As for the bad move made by the little emperor in heaven...

"How can you still be the emperor of the Zhu family if you don't make some bad moves?"

Too normal.

……

Tang Xuanzong Period
Li Longji silently wiped a peach and ate it.

"Do you think this guy is really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?"

Li Mi pondered:

"Maybe I've been suppressed for too long, and I let my nature run wild for a while."

Li Longji ate the peach in silence.

The emperor abandoned the troops in the capital and personally led the troops from the border area to defeat the Tatars.

What kind of political signal is this?
If the civil officials didn't mention it, would the military officials have any ideas?

Will they consider whether the border troops will put pressure on them?

At this point, it is enough to reward the meritorious service, and the matter ends here.

He just gave himself the title of great general.

Who was the last person who was both emperor and general?

All of his subordinates have become very successful!
……

Ming Dynasty, Hongzhi Period
Zhu Youtang looked at the three words "Yang Tinghe" and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Is he on the emperor's side?

Or is it simply for self-protection?
Compared with Liang Chu's sword-pointing and remonstration, Yang Tinghe's claim of illness and absence seemed a bit too self-conscious.

But he is the prince's teacher...

Is it to avoid disobeying the teacher's teachings?
……

Ming Dynasty Jiajing Period
"Yang Tinghe..."

Zhu Houcong tapped his fingers lightly with a smile on his face.

Yang Tinghe had some feelings for Emperor Xiaozong and Emperor Wuzong.

But this person does not have the courage to do something even though he knows it is impossible, and he will go forward even if there are thousands of people against him.

Otherwise the grand ceremony wouldn’t have gone so smoothly.

"If you were as stubborn as Hai Rui, I really wouldn't be able to help you at first."

"but……"

He looked at the word "Li Chu" on the sky.

Did your health start to deteriorate at this time?
……

[In July, Zhu Houzhao made another northern tour and passed through Juyongguan. At the same time, he awarded titles and rewards to more than 50,000 people for their contributions in Yingzhou.]

[In September, Zhu Houzhao conferred the title of "Zhu Shou" as the Duke of Zhenguo, conferred the title of Qian Bin as the Earl of Pinglu, and the title of Xu Tai as the Earl of Anbian. Liang Chu and others refused to draft the edict.]

[In October, Zhu Houzhao crossed the Yellow River from Piantou Pass and arrived in Yulin.]

【In December, returned to Taiyuan.】

[In 1519, the th year of the Zhengde reign, Zhu Houzhao returned to Xuanfu and soon returned to Beijing.]

……

Ming Dynasty Yongle Period
"Hahahaha!"

Zhu Di laughed so hard as he watched the emperor having fun.

"We like this boy!"

"Is this the real man of Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Gaochi sat there like a giant Buddha without saying a word.

He was muttering to himself in his heart. He still wants to establish a crown prince...

Even without appointing a crown prince, he dared to sneak out of the pass.

If a crown prince is appointed, I dare not imagine where he can run to!

Do you think of yourself as an old man?

Five expeditions to Mobei?

Do you have money!

……

Ming Dynasty and Xuande period
Zhu Zhanji drank tea to calm himself down.

"This kid is so brave."

Just fight once and get military merit.

He actually still wants to fight!

……

[Whether the actual impact of the Yingzhou battle was as negligible as described in the History of Ming Dynasty.]

[The reunified Mongolia in the south of the desert once again fell into a long period of internal friction. ]

[Therefore, Zhu Houzhao and the court's attention inevitably shifted to the south, which in turn led to the most influential political event of the Zhengde reign.]

【Emperor Wuzong's Southern Tour and Prince Ning's Rebellion】

……

Zhu Di, who was laughing, started to stop laughing.

He looked gloomy and stared at the sky.

I can guess the general reason, and the root is what I said about dividing the world equally.

but!

How dare you believe such words?

"His heart is worthy of death..."

Empress Xu rolled her eyes at him.

"Don't make a decision so quickly, let's wait and see."

Zhu Di nodded and looked at the sky.

……

[In March 1519, Zhu Houzhao sent an edict to the Ministry of Rites, stating that the General Commander-in-Chief, the Grand Tutor, and the Duke of Zhenguo, Zhu Shou, would tour the two capitals and Shandong to offer sacrifices to the gods and pray for blessings.]

[The plan is to climb Mount Tai and then pass through Xuyang, arrive in Nanjing, visit Jiangsu and Zhejiang, go up the Yangtze and Han rivers, worship Wudang, and return to Beijing via the Central Plains.]

[At this time, there were rumors in the Ming Dynasty that Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao was about to rebel, so once the edict was issued, public opinion was surging and petitions of persuasion and admonition came one after another.]

……

Tang Dynasty and Gaozong period
Li Zhi pinched his forehead.

Whatever you're going to do, the time is too tight.

As the saying goes, more haste, less speed.

You can't keep pushing officials' bottom line.

It's like fishing, you can't always let out the line or reel it in too often.

The true meaning is to have a proper balance between relaxation and tension.

……

[Hanlin editor Shu Fen led five scholars to advise the king not to go on tours easily, and that the royal family was about to rebel, so he should not leave the capital easily.]

[Afterwards, Huang Gong, a Langzhong of the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War, and Lu Zhen, a Yuanwailang, jointly wrote a letter to the emperor, saying that since chaos was imminent, they should not go on a southern tour, but should eliminate villains and establish a crown prince. After that, memorials came one after another.]

Zhu Houzhao was furious and summoned Jiang Bin. He imprisoned six people including Huang Gong who had submitted petitions earlier, and punished Shu Fen and 107 others to kneel outside the Meridian Gate for five days.

[Immediately afterwards, 33 people including Lin Dalu, a doctor of the Ministry of Works, were imprisoned.]

[Zhang Ying, the commander of the Jinwu Guard, carried soil and exposed his flesh, cried and protested in front of the road, then drew his sword and cut his throat, scattering soil to cover his blood, and died.]

[At the end of the month, Zhu Houzhao issued an edict that after Shu Fen and 107 others were punished by kneeling, they would be caned 30 times in the court.]

[In April, Huang Gong, Lin Dalu and nine others were caned 50 times in court, and the other 30 people were caned 40 times in court.]

[More than 100 officials who were beaten with sticks in the court were dismissed, demoted, or transferred to other places. Fourteen people including Lu Zhen were beaten to death on the spot or died from the injuries.]

……

{This was the first time in Ming Dynasty history, and one of only two times when hundreds of people were caned in court.}
{In fact, I am more interested in why Emperor Wuzong's southern tour caused such a large-scale remonstration, and why those who remonstrated were all middle and lower-level officials, with the highest position being only a Langzhong of the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War, a fifth-rank official?}
{Because there had never been a precedent of an emperor's southern tour in the Ming Dynasty, the civil officials had reached the limit of their tolerance for Zhu Houzhao's inappropriate behavior since he ascended the throne. Moreover, the southern tour was extremely costly and the cost would not outweigh the gain, so they all rose up to make a petition.}
{That's not right. It wouldn't just be the middle and lower-level officials who would participate. The nine ministers in the cabinet would definitely be involved and take the lead.}
{Could it be that the Jiangnan nobles bribed and instigated the middle and lower level civil servants to persuade Zhu Houzhao to stop him from seeing Jiangnan's prosperity with his own eyes so as to increase taxation and levies on Jiangnan?}
{…Then you might as well say that they were the ones who pushed Prince Ning to rebel.}
{Langzhong of the Military Selection Department! An important position in the imperial court! Hanlin! A promising future for the cabinet ministers!}

{Even if they are tempted by money or have leverage over them, the mastermind behind the scenes will not use such officials as cannon fodder!}

{Besides, the tax increase and tax reduction for Jiangnan were decided by the cabinet and six ministries. The problem is that these two hardly showed up in this incident!}

……

Wu Zhou.

Taiping and Li Dan looked at each other.

The proud little princess raised her long neck.

"Brother, you say!"

Li Dan shook his head and said with a smile:
"It's up to you, sister."

Taiping narrowed his eyes and revealed a fang.

"Then tell me together!"

Li Dan smiled and nodded.

Then a spoiled and a humble voice sounded at the same time.

"Six ministries condone!"

"Selling straight to get the loyalty!"

The two were stunned for a moment.

Then they looked at each other and said with a smile at the same time.

"You have a really dirty heart!" X2
……

On the canopy.

The magnificent courtyard was decorated with lights and music.

A group of officials came to pay their respects.

It was very lively and joyful.

Just when a group of civil officials and military generals were eating and drinking.

"boom!"

The door is open!

"Crash!"

Hundreds of soldiers armed with swords and wearing armor swarmed in and surrounded the officials!
Before everyone could understand what was happening, a middle-aged man wearing a dragon robe and a golden crown on his head walked in, surrounded by a group of followers.

He stood in front of the hall, looked at the anxious ministers and said loudly:
"My lords!"

"Emperor Xiaozong was deceived by the eunuch Li Guang. The current emperor is a bastard that Li Guang brought back from the common people!"

"This bastard has been usurping the throne for fourteen years, disrupting the bloodline of our ancestors and cutting off the incense of the Ming royal family!"

"Now, I, the king, am following the order of the Queen Mother to raise an army to suppress the rebellion!"

"All the officials followed me into the capital to eliminate the rebellion and filth, to purify the country, and to make great contributions!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was dead silence in the hall.

……

[In 1519, on June , the th year of the Zhengde reign, Prince Ning launched a rebellion.]
