The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty

Capital.

Still on holiday.

Xiu Mu means to rest, take a bath, and tidy up your appearance.

It was rare that the little emperor did not have to go to the banquet to teach scriptures, and was tired of spending time with Queen Xia every day.

As the saying goes, "You know the taste of the marrow, but you don't know the satiety." After Tang Hao reminded him last time, Zhu Houzhao also regarded spreading branches and leaves as his first priority.

After all, there is a huge difference between an emperor with a son and an emperor without a son.

The "Master Yang" Zhang Yong was talking about at this moment was Zhu Houzhao's mentor, Yang Tinghe!

However, his own father still wanted to be the emperor, so he took away the throne from his son, killed Yu Qian and other virtuous officials, and re-appointed Shi Heng and other treacherous officials to turn the originally stable Ming Dynasty back into chaos. When Zhu Jianshen eight When he took the position that should belong to him years later, the Ming Dynasty was completely rotten!

What Zhu Houzhao wants to do now is to work together with the barbarian Tang Hao to overthrow the civil servants and gentry who control the government in one fell swoop. This is no longer a matter of etiquette, law and clan. This is to cut off people's wealth and seize their rights!

As soon as Yang Tinghe saw the little emperor, he immediately saluted solemnly.

Because Zhu Qiyu was dead soon and had no children, Zhu Jianshen could naturally ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, the kind that no one could stop!

Under such a premise, Shi Heng and the confidants of Emperor Jingtai would naturally panic!

For example, Emperor Chenghua and his beloved Concubine Wan Gui were seventeen years older and still loved her so much that the harem became restless and the current situation was turbulent. This is the most typical example.

With this in mind, Zhu Houzhao asked Zhang Yong to take people to the side hall of Kunning Palace. Then he comforted Queen Xia for a few words, and then saw the emperor's master coming alone.

Zhu Houzhao had automatically ignored what Yang Tinghe said later, because a sentence was ringing in his mind at the moment.

Recalling the unpleasant words spoken by the savage Tang Hao, although the little emperor found it harsh, he had to admit that what the savage said was the truth.

As the savage Tang Hao put it unpleasantly, in the eyes of civil servants and gentry, Zhu Qiyu was just a "rebellious minister and traitor" who violated the laws and regulations and destroyed the etiquette, law and patriarchal system. Naturally, he was disliked no matter how he looked at him.

Well, young is still young, but it is also true that he has no son.

At that time, in addition to the prince's young master, young master, young master, and guests, the officials of the East Palace also included Zuo Zhanshi, Tongzhi Zhanshi Yuanshi, Deputy Zhanshi, Zhan Shicheng, Zuo Lvfu Envoy, and Tongzhi Zuo Lvfu The ministers, deputy envoys, envoys, and officials all held their posts in honor of the old ministers. There are also officials such as Wenwen, Zhongshe, Zhengzi, Shizheng, Xima, Shuzi and Zandu.

Because Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu died, the civil servants and gentry were bound to support Yi Wang Zhu Jianshen as emperor. You must know that Shi Heng, the confidants of Emperor Jingtai, made "great contributions" when Emperor Jingtai deposed Zhu Jianshen as the crown prince and replaced him as the crown prince. !

Who can guarantee that after Zhu Jianshen takes office, the old issues will be brought up again and a liquidation will be launched against them?

However, Yang Tinghe hurriedly knelt down on the ground and said sincerely: "Your Majesty clearly knows that this book was not compiled by me, but someone sent it to my home. After reading it, I felt that this method has great potential, so I immediately went to the palace to give it to your majesty." Watch.”

"Your Majesty can pay close attention to this person, and he might become our comrade in the future!"

Seeing this, Yang Tinghe couldn't help stroking his beard and smiled happily.

For a moment, Zhu Houzhao's eyes turned red, and he felt that the book was heavy.

But the problem is that these things taught by Confucianism are indeed a bit too boring. Not to mention that the young emperor is only fifteen or sixteen years old, even the imperial examination students in the Imperial College will become drowsy after listening to it for a long time.

The little emperor spoke emotionally, and was about to give Yang Tinghe some rewards.

Yang Tinghe was also puzzled as to who gave him this book, but that was not important. What was important was that the little emperor could accept it.

The little emperor became even more confused after hearing this, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Then what is Master Yang doing here at this time? He won't let me rest if he doesn't rest? It's so annoying!"

Because this booklet is a book, and it is full of pictures and texts. The illustrations tell stories, and the language used is a combination of classical Chinese and popular vernacular. It is similar to Zhu Houzhao's favorite storybook, so he was fascinated by it without paying attention.

Because of this, the rebellion broke out!

Compared with the first choice for the crown prince, Shi Heng and others frantically thought of the only way to break the situation!

Although it is said that harmony between the emperor and the empress is what the civil servants and gentry want to see most. After all, no one wants to implicate foreign dynasties or even affect national affairs because of the troubles in the harem.

The emperor and the empress had a harmonious relationship, which was also the long-standing tradition of the emperors of the old Zhu family.

If you have nothing serious to do, get out of here immediately!

As a result, the prince Zhu Jianji died young, and the Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu was also greatly affected by this, and he focused all his energy on spreading branches and leaves. In the end, his condition worsened and he was expected to die soon.

"Facts have proved that this method has greatly promoted your majesty's studies. Please, your majesty..."

"Your Majesty, I observed earlier that Your Majesty was unable to learn anything during the banquet. This article may help!"

Yang Tinghe smiled faintly when he heard this and took out a booklet from his arms.

Zhu Houzhao also liked that he and Queen Xia could be husband and wife and have a harmonious relationship.

Once the crown prince is established and the East Palace is in his rightful place, the government and the public will feel at ease and will not have any other thoughts!

As for having a son, it must be with Queen Xia.

Damn it, Yang Ting and you are toxic, right?

It's a big holiday, you're full, and you come here to persuade me not to be too lewd?

The little emperor suppressed the anger in his heart and slowly enlightened himself in his heart.

Therefore, Yang Tinghe could actually understand that Zhu Houzhao was tired of learning. He had been looking for some suitable way to change this teaching model, so that the emperor could truly accept Confucianism and recognize it, and he could also learn the way of the emperor from it.

In fact, the throne that Zhu Qizhen seized was not that of his younger brother Zhu Qiyu, but that of his own son Zhu Jianshen!

This is the so-called "Change of Seizing the Gate". The most rubbish emperor in history, with his two tricks, successfully kicked the Ming Dynasty into the abyss!

Therefore, it is appropriate for the emperor and the empress to be in harmony, but we should not indulge in it to the point of wasting the government.

In the early years of Hongwu, Emperor Taizu Gao built a large main hall to store ancient and modern books, and summoned famous Confucian scholars from all over the world to instruct the prince and prince. Soon after, the prince lived in Wenhua Hall, and all the Confucian scholars took turns to attend him, and talented people were selected to accompany him.

For example, Emperor Taizu Gao and Empress Ma, Emperor Taizong Wen and Empress Xu, and Zhu Houzhao's father, Emperor Hongzhi and Empress Zhang, were all famously loving couples.

On this day, Zhu Houzhao was walking with Queen Xia, when Zhang Yong suddenly came over.

Nonsense, can he learn it?

What half-year-old child can understand the whole "Zhihuzheye"?

Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt a little puzzled when he heard Yang Tinghe asked for an audience.

"I also had a gift for Your Majesty, but it was entrusted to someone else!"

In fact, Zhu Houzhao has always been apologetic to Queen Xia because of the crudeness of the Queen's Standing Ceremony. In addition to Queen Xia's quiet and dignified character, Zhu Houzhao also likes Queen Xia from the bottom of his heart, so he doesn't want to see this silly girl suffer. harm.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhan Shiyang, the young master of Zhan Shi Mansion, wants to see you!"

Furthermore, the relationship between Zhu Houzhao and Yang Tinghe is not bad, but they are a little annoyed that he is too wordy in class, but in other aspects they are still very good.

"Zhang Yong, isn't this Xiu Mu today?"

"Did I remember it wrong?"

This is my imperial master, and it is his duty to advise me.

He wanted to see the little emperor's reaction. If Zhu Houzhao could really see through it, it would prove that this method was feasible. No matter how much it cost in the future, even if the entire Zhan Shifu was assembled, all the little emperor's teaching materials would have to be included. Illustrations, but also coupled with popular vernacular!

"Master Yang, this book is really interesting!"

In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu's reign, the custom was made, with Zhan Shifu controlling the departments such as Zuo Chunfang, You Chunfang, and Economic Affairs Bureau. He unified the political affairs of the government, offices, and bureaus, and was specifically responsible for the affairs of the East Palace.

Because Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu had no sons, his son Zhu Jianji, who was forcibly supported by him, died after being the crown prince for one year.

When Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu came to power, it was just a stop-gap measure. He made a three-part agreement with Empress Dowager Sun and a group of courtiers to make Zhu Jianshen the crown prince. A hundred years later, he returned power to Zhu Jianshen and returned the lineage to his direct descendants. This is what Practice in line with etiquette and law.

No, after five days of rest, Zhu Houzhao stayed in Kunning Palace for five days. The relationship between the emperor and the empress improved rapidly, which made everyone in the palace smile.

"Your Majesty, the harmonious music of the emperor and the harp is a blessing for the Ming Dynasty. However, indulging in it will consume your energy and harm your moral integrity, so please your majesty..."

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, motioning Yang Tinghe to sit down, and then asked with a smile: "Why did Master Yang come here today? Is he still on vacation?"

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, his face suddenly turned green.

Zhu Houzhao asked himself that he was not a lecherous person. Queen Xia was the queen of the dynasty. If the first son was not born to her, or if she could not give birth to a son, then her future situation as a queen would be difficult.

As a result, after Zhu Qiyu became emperor, he became ambitious. He was not satisfied with being the emperor himself. He also wanted his son to be the emperor and all his descendants to be emperors. To this end, he did not hesitate to bribe the courtiers, and would also oppose the idea of ​​becoming the emperor. Queen Wang was crippled.

This Yang Tinghe was a serious imperial master. In the Hongzhi Dynasty, he would have been Liu Jian. In terms of closeness and distance, he was not comparable to ordinary ministers.

No, it’s not necessary!

They can completely assist the young master to ascend the throne, which will make it easier for them to dominate the government!

Therefore, Zhu Qiyu had no son, which caused earth-shaking changes in the Ming Dynasty.

To be honest, the banquet is very important, because it is the only opportunity for Confucian officials to get close to the emperor, influence his behavior, and cultivate his virtue.

Complaints are complaints, but people still need to see each other.

Gift? !

Comrade? !

Zhu Houzhao's head was buzzing.

"Ahem, Master Yang, is there anything else you want to say?"

Unfortunately, Yang Tinghe did not find this solution.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, Zhu Houzhao decided to follow Tang Hao's advice and give birth to a fat boy as soon as possible.

Zhanshifu, Zuoyouchunfang, these are the bureaucracy specially set up by the Ming Dynasty for the East Palace.

No wonder this book is so interesting, it turned out to be compiled by that Savage guy.

After all, his great-grandfather Zhu Qizhen was really nothing!

So the question is, what if Zhu Qiyu is more than just a son to Zhu Jianji?

If Zhan serves one person, he is of the third rank; if Zhan serves two people, he is of the fourth rank.

Just like the example given by Tang Hao, why did Jingtai break out in the eighth year?

Well, I know that you, the emperor and the empress, have a good relationship, but you should also pay attention to your health and don't do it too much. It's not good if you do it too often at a young age.

After Zhu Houzhao finished reading a short story, he reluctantly closed the book.

Even if Zhu Jianshen is magnanimous and does not care about them, Zhu Jianshen is not Zhu Qiyu's biological son after all. When he comes to power, he will not take into account the important ministers of the late emperor. In line with the basic principle of "one emperor, one minister", Shi Heng and others will count one by one. Everyone will be deprived of their power and even expelled from the court!

Yang Tinghe said expressionlessly, the first thing he did was to give advice.

Zhu Qiyu just betrayed his trust and did not follow the etiquette and law, which caused the officials to alienate him, and in the end he was deprived of the throne.

The Supreme Emperor Zhu Qizhen successfully restored the Yuan Dynasty to Tianshun. The Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu was deposed as the King of Yin and put him under house arrest in Yong'an Palace in the west. He died suddenly and mysteriously soon after. The Jingtai Emperor's confidants Yu Qian and others were also accused of treason by the restored Zhu Qizhen. They were unjustly executed for the crime; Shi Heng and others not only relied on this "success from the dragon" to keep their positions of power, but they even became arrogant and domineering later on, and they became more powerful...

Well, not angry, not angry.

After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao suddenly became interested.

That is to rush into Nangong to rescue the Supreme Emperor Zhu Qizhen, and support the restoration of Zhu Qizhen. And with this merit of being a slave to the dragon, they can continue to be in the court, and may even go one step further to dominate the government and the public!

Then, the change of seizing the door broke out, and Shi Heng and others succeeded!

Or could it be that Zhu Jianji did not die young, but grew up healthily?

Then do Shi Heng and others still need to risk their lives to plan a coup to seize the door?

Zhu Houzhao almost gritted his teeth and spoke.

"Master Yang is really serious about spending so much energy on my studies..."

On the side, Queen Xia smiled and said softly: "Your Majesty remembered correctly, the rest will end tomorrow."

Until today, someone sent this book to his home. After reading it, Yang Tinghe was shocked and immediately went to the palace to see the saint.

Basically, the officials who hold this position are all the Imperial Masters of the East Palace.

This was bribing the courtiers, deposing the queen for no reason, and changing the crown prince. Even though Emperor Jingtai finally succeeded in supporting his son Zhu Jianji to become the crown prince, his personal selfishness and ambition were also exposed, and he was alienated from all the officials. I don't like this emperor.

Isn't this just like reciting scriptures to make people fall asleep?

Zhu Houzhao took the brochure and looked at it, and he immediately became interested.

What Zhu Houzhao is going to do now is much more serious than that of Zhu Qiyu!

Emperor Jingtai had no sons, and he was seriously ill in his prime. So the question became, if Zhu Qiyu died, who would be able to sit on the dragon throne?

Of course, it must be, and it is definitely Zhu Jianshen, the former crown prince of the orthodox dynasty who was deposed as King Yi by Emperor Jing Zhu Qiyu!

Why?

Because Zhu Jianshen was the eldest son of the orthodox emperor, and he was originally the prince.

For the same reason, Zhu Houzhao doesn't have a son now.

Immediately he looked at the book and then at Yang Tinghe.

Savage... what does this mean?

Could it be that my imperial master Yang Tinghe... is still a great talent?
