Daming Super Dimension Company, President Zhu Yuanzhang!

Even Emperor Jiajing himself looked very ugly, his face turning blue and white.

Doesn't he feel disgusted himself?

Of course I think so!

But then I turned around and thought, what if these things are really effective?

If Xiao Ran knew that Emperor Jiajing still had such hopes in his heart, he would probably twitch the corner of his mouth.

"It's just that there are precedents for other emperors in this matter. It is human nature to pursue immortality. But as an emperor, he was almost killed by a palace maid. Isn't it too outrageous?"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but laugh out loud: "What? Let the palace maid be killed? If you tell me this, we can laugh about it as a joke for a year."

"Dad..." Zhu Di's face was a little complicated. He tugged the corner of his clothes at Zhu Yuanzhang and said in a low voice, "This is our descendant. He is embarrassed and we are embarrassed."

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately rolled his eyes at Zhu Di: "Aren't these the unworthy descendants you gave birth to? It has nothing to do with us."

I don’t know if he was too stimulated, but Zhu Yuanzhang no longer wants to recognize this descendant.

Emperor Jiajing:...

However, he did not expect that the things he originally wanted to conceal would eventually be passed down to future generations.

Xiao Ran, as a person from the future, could see his identity and role in the matter of changing rice to mulberry more clearly than many officials who were in love with him.

Speaking of which, Emperor Jiajing felt that his previous efforts to cover up seemed a little ridiculous.

Xiao Ran looked at Emperor Jiajing and shrugged his shoulders: "Personally, I don't think it is recommended that you continue to be emperor. It has been Jiajing for thirty-nine years. In fact, the current mess cannot be solved by you." of."

"The evaluation of you can probably be summarized by this couplet. In the first couplet, you are extremely smart. From etiquette to spiritual practice, there is nothing that is not under your control. In the second couplet, you are extremely skilled in power, from civil servants to military generals. , years of hard work and great achievements, how many people can get it out of their minds.

To summarize it in four words: Hengpi, what can you do to me? "

Zhu Yuanzhang was a horse-riding emperor with no cultural background. He had always felt that the ministers spoke in a polite manner. Now he felt extremely satisfied after hearing Xiao Ran's very straightforward couplet.

But Zhu Di was different. He was a "second generation emperor" after all, and he still received a little cultural influence later on.

"Xiao Ran, if you do this couplet, it can be said that there is no confrontation at all."

Xiao Ran looked at him helplessly: "Old man, I am a modern person. I only learned a little of your classical Chinese, poems and songs when I was in school. If I can squeeze out these two sentences temporarily, I already feel that I am very educated."

"The meaning here is actually very clear, right? In fact, after looking at everything Emperor Jiajing did, he can be called a genius. He has been well versed in the secrets of political struggle since he was a boy. But to be honest , he did not use his intelligence where it should be used. As an emperor, he turned great wisdom into small cleverness, which is wrong in itself."

"Being able to rise from the son of a vassal king to the emperor is certainly a matter of luck, but someone who can get the discernment of Yang Ting, a veteran of three dynasties, and an old man like him is definitely not a fool. Beginning in 1522 AD, Emperor Jiajing came to power , launched the 'Great Ceremony Controversy' on the grounds of competing for the title of his father, King Xingxian."

"On the surface, this matter seems to be arguing about a title. In fact, Emperor Jiajing's goal was Yang Tinghe. At that time, he was just an eighteen-year-old boy, but Yang Tinghe, an old man, had been through the three dynasties of Xianzong, Xiaozong, and Wuzong. He was a disciple. Therefore, officials were spread all over the government and the public, and their influence in the court was extensive and deep-rooted. Even Liu Jin in the Wu Zong Dynasty had to retreat when he saw him."

"But in the end, Yang Tinghe's power group was defeated by the eighteen-year-old Emperor Jiajing through this incident. If you think about it carefully, Emperor Jiajing's political methods are indeed very powerful."

"According to general rules, Emperor Jiajing should not have such an ability. Since his birth, he was not a direct relative of the emperor at that time, nor was he within the scope of heirs under the dynasty system. With the status of Emperor Jiajing, whether he is In terms of blood and law, he is a vassal king who cannot become emperor."

"Since there is no possibility of becoming an emperor, there is no need to learn and train the so-called emperor's mental skills and some of the abilities that an emperor needs to possess. Without much basic training, Jiajing became the emperor at the age of fifteen. It can be seen that he himself is very smart, and in just three years, he has moved from a passive position to an active position."

"Zhang Cong was the tool who was supported by Jiajing to overthrow Yang Tinghe, the elder of the three dynasties. And all his subsequent actions were means of political struggle. Even if he did not go to court for many years, all major affairs in the court were under control. Emperor Jiajing passed Manipulate Zhang Cong, Xia Yan, Yan Song, Xu Jie and others to become behind-the-scenes commanders to control the government."

"After the Renyin Palace Incident, even if Emperor Jiajing moved to Xiyuan to refine elixirs, he could still keep a clear eye on everything going on in the court, so that he could balance work and life. To be honest, if the emperor could do this job, I can't find a few in the history books of the dynasty. Therefore, I admit that he is indeed an out-and-out genius in this regard."

Although the words Xiao Ran said did not seem to be completely complimentary to himself, Emperor Jiajing still felt a little comfortable listening to them.

Of course you can say that I am not a good emperor, but you cannot say that I have no IQ or ability.

Whether I can do something depends not on whether I, Zhu Houcong, know it, but whether I, Zhu Houcong, want to do it.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di had been emperors for so many years, so they were naturally very good at observing words and expressions. Seeing the look on Emperor Jiajing's face, they had already guessed what he was thinking.

Both of them felt that it was time to supervise and control Emperor Jiajing and support the next generation to ascend to the throne.

Now he, these things he knows and the power he holds will be slowly handed over to the next generation of successors.

Even though they already knew from Xiao Ran that the Ming Dynasty was only a few hundred years old, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di both wanted to make the Ming Dynasty live longer through their own efforts.

When Xiao Ran went to study Emperor Jiajing, he found that he was very different from other emperors.

"For the ministers, such a scheming, power-savvy and extremely smart boss is really difficult to deal with. In addition, Emperor Jiajing is both fickle and suspicious, which is very fatal for the ministers."

"As a minister, if you encounter such an emperor, if you are not careful, you will be dismissed from office, and at worst, you will die without a burial place. In addition, Emperor Jiajing learned to wield power too early and saw the consequences of politics too early. The darkness, cruelty, and illegitimate nature of his appointment led to the fact that in the first three years of his succession, the cultural management group basically did not buy his account, and he was not confident."

"It was this kind of insecurity that gradually developed Emperor Jiajing's ruthless and arbitrary character."

"The first thing Emperor Jiajing did is temporarily called the Great Etiquette Dispute. Since the Great Etiquette Dispute, Emperor Jiajing has completely lost favor with the civil servants. This is what he had in mind."

"You bunch of bastards, you've just come to force me to deny my biological father when I've just ascended the throne? Go to your grandma! If you want to do it, but don't, get out of here. I can still support you for me. Used!"
