The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Fengtian Temple,

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi looked at the memorial and found out that not long after the new emperor ascended the throne, the people rebelled.

I couldn't help but sigh, the new emperor was unpopular with the people, and the few people were too conniving, so that the prince's wisdom was not spread to the world.

Li Dongyang said: "According to the memorials in Hanzhong, the people here are simple and honest. Lan Tingrui obtained the ancient seal and bronze sword of the original Shu Kingdom and falsely claimed that they were given by God to confuse the people."

When you raise an army to rebel, you should follow the will of God.

That is to say, an auspicious celestial phenomenon occurs, and the ancient seal given to Lan Tingrui from the Shu Kingdom by God is the celestial phenomenon.

"Lan Tingrui has some abilities. He can raise 100,000 troops without money, like Emperor Gao back then." Zhu Houzhao said with sincere admiration.

Liu Jiandao: "The rebels have conquered Shu and are heading to Huguang. The top priority is to send people to quell the rebellion."

The army originally stationed in Huguang was sent to the Chief Envoy in Annan.

Shu is thousands of miles away from the capital, and countless money and grain will be robbed and crops destroyed along the way.

Zhu Houzhao didn't even think about it, "Then let's re-enable Marquis Anding."

Han Fu bowed and said: "Anding Hou has just taken office, how can he be reactivated? I think it is impossible!"

"I also think it's inappropriate." Zhang Sheng said.

The hall gradually became quiet.

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi was worried. Shao Rui and other generals were still in prison. If Yan Kesong was activated at this time, wouldn't it mean to release the generals?

Yan Chengjin stood silent in the main hall.

Zhang Fuhua said: "Wang Shouren is idle in the Ministry of War and occasionally goes to Liangxiang to give lectures. I can send Wang Shouren to go on an expedition."

Wang Shouren defeated Dayan Khan, and naturally all the princes had no objections.

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi thought of Wang Shouren's calm and calm expression, and felt much more at ease, and decided to order Wang Shouren to go on the expedition.

Xiao Jing hurriedly went to the clerk's room to convey the order.

After the court discussion, Zhu Houzhao still stayed in the main hall, looked at Emperor Hongzhi and said: "Father, for some reason, I fall asleep as soon as I go to court."

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "What did you do at night?"

"It has nothing to do with the night. The atmosphere in the court is too dull. I want to move to the Leopard Room in Xiyuan to work diligently." Zhu Houzhao raised his head slightly and glanced at the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi.

The ministers held their breath and looked at Zhu Houzhao angrily.

Liquor Pork Meat Forest, this is Liquor Pond Meat Forest!

Suddenly some people who are considerate of the situation in Shu, how can they not rebel in the presence of such an emperor?

Yan Chengjin's heart moved slightly.

The Leopard Room existed during the Chenghua period and was not built by Zhu Houzhao. In the Xiyuan, birds and animals from the Western Regions were kept as tribute for the emperor and the harem to watch.

But when Hongzhi was in power, he had almost no time to watch it.

"You don't know how to reflect on the uprising in the northwest!"

Zhu Houzhao blinked: "What does the uprising in the northwest have to do with my son?"

"When you are the emperor, the people will rebel. Why don't I rebel when I am the emperor?"

The ministers nodded.

In the past, Emperor Hongzhi worked diligently day and night. When the emperor did not enjoy the blessings of peace, he had three court meetings a day.

If the people knew this, how could they have the nerve to rebel?

If the new king is not as good as Hongzhi, life at home will be even more difficult.

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi stared at Zhu Houzhao to see what this guy had to say.

Zhu Houzhao frowned and argued: "My father has the way of governing the country, and my sons and ministers also have the way of governing the country. My father has the three ministers in the cabinet, and my sons have the six virtuous gentlemen. How can I not be as good as my father?"

Liu Jian and the others looked at each other with doubts.

Where did the Six Gentlemen of Righteousness come from?

Yan Chengjin secretly thought it was bad, Zhu Houzhao was going to have a showdown.

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi looked at the smug guy in front of him with a straight face and asked calmly: "Oh, who are the Six Gentlemen of Zhengde?"

"Liu Jin, Wang Shouren, Song Jing, Wang Ji, Zhou Yu and Zhang Xian, Wang Shouren, who was sent by his father to quell the rebellion in the southwest, was the humerus minister of his son.

Father, do you still remember that six years ago, your son stole a jade scroll from the clerk's office?

This jade scroll is the imperial edict of my son to confer Wang Shouren's number one warrior! "

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi's expression froze.

The princes were speechless for a moment. The missing case of the imperial edict six years ago came to light.

Wang Shouren and others are still okay, but Zhou Yu can forget it.

Jiang Mian couldn't help but ask: "Who recommended these six people to Your Majesty?"

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Yan Chengjin, and Yan Chengjin knew that he should stand up at this time: "It's me."

Sure enough, these two guys were working together.

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Houzhao coldly: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Zhu Houzhao looked at the princes around him and said, "Masters, I have something to say with my father and the masters."

Yan Chengjin stood aside and did not move. Zhu Houzhao became serious, really serious.

Zhu Houzhao said seriously: "The father wants a prosperous world, and the sons also want a prosperous world. The father has handed over the country to the sons, and the sons should govern it.

But now, the princes don't listen to their sons, so the father has no choice but to go to court as regent.

If I have a way to make the princes obey my orders, please ask my father to hand over my kingdom to my son. "

Yan Chengjin's eyes moved slightly.

Although Zhu Houzhao was smarter than Emperor Hongzhi at that time, governing the country did not rely solely on cleverness.

You also need to be patient, able to endure temptation, firm-minded, persuasive in character, and generous and courteous.

At this point, Zhu Houzhao was not as good as Emperor Hongzhi.

In addition, Emperor Hongzhi has been handling government affairs for twenty-three years, and Jiang is still old and spicy.

The princes believed that the prince was smart, but they did not believe that the current prince could compare with the emperor.

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi was slightly frightened: "How do you make the princes surrender?"

Li Dongyang and others raised their heads slightly and looked at Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao's voice was calm and he said seriously: "He is wiser than his father and can govern a greater prosperous age."

"What is a greater prosperity?"

“Nowadays, there are 10 million hectares of cultivated land, 100 million people in the Yellow Register, the national treasury has an annual income of more than 13 million taels, and the wages of the people in the capital are seven cents of silver.

The prosperity of my sons and ministers will be doubled. "

The Emperor Hongzhi was stunned, this evil boy was talking nonsense again!

Looking back, what kind of prosperous age was that? Is it beyond the power of human beings?

Yan Chengjin was slightly moved. Even in later generations, the cultivated land would only be close to 20 million hectares.

The national treasury must have an annual income of more than 26 million taels. This is a huge goal. If it can be achieved, it will be a truly prosperous era!

Zhu Houzhao went too far for the sake of the Leopard Room. This is not what I taught him.

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi snorted: "I don't have the confidence to speak so wildly! If that day comes, I won't have to manage politics."

Zhu Houzhao blinked: "Then from tomorrow on, my father will leave the affairs of the court to his sons to manage."

The hall fell silent.

Yan Chengjin quickly said: "Such a prosperous age is probably too far away."

Li Dongyang and others nodded, not believing it at all.

If Zhu Houzhao can really achieve such a prosperous age, he will be the emperor of the ages.

Come out of Fengtian Hall.

Walking to a deserted corner of the palace, Zhu Houzhao pinched Yan Chengjin's neck and said, "Lao Gao, what did you mean by demolishing this palace just now?!"

Yan Chengjin is not used to him either. Now that he is stronger, if he gives it a try, he might actually be able to win.

"I asked you to repay 0.5 times. Dog Emperor, can you count?"

Half a quarter of an hour later, Zhu Houzhao and Yan Chengjin were adjusting their clothes.

"Lao Gao, do you think such a prosperous age will really come true?"

"I don't know, maybe it can be realized." Yan Chengjin said thoughtfully.

Zhu Houzhao regretted a little, "Why don't I go back and correct it with my father?"

All the gentlemen have kept it in mind, and if they go back on their word at this time, they will definitely regard it as child's play.

Yan Chengjin shook his head.
