Daming: I was exposed by Zhu Di's Sims life!

Chapter 130 The Territory of the Five Provinces, Ceded to King Qi
[You know why the cabinet doesn't want to pay compensation to the Southwest Army now. 】

[Because the imperial court’s indemnity to Prince Qi’s Mansion is clearly stipulated. This is the treaty made by Emperor Jiajing and Prince Qi’s Mansion back then. Every indemnity is clearly listed. How much the imperial court sends to the southwest every year is clearly written. For nothing. 】

[This presents a problem for the court officials: they can only watch this huge sum of money pass under their noses, but they dare not reach out and embezzle it. 】

【As long as they dare to stretch out their hands, they will find that the numbers do not match when Prince Qi's mansion checks the list. Once Prince Qi is angered, everyone will be finished. 】

[How can there be such a reason in the world!They dared to covet the emperor's private money, but now there is money they can't covet, is this reasonable! 】

[This is reasonable, because they are also afraid of King Qi. 】

【Emperor, they can ignore it.But King Qi can't, because the emperor can't do anything about them, but King Qi really dares to kill them. 】

Zhu Di was not surprised, because this has always been the style of civil servants.

If you want to reason with civil servants, they will play tricks on you.If you want to play tricks on civil servants, they will reason with you.

When a civil servant understands this kind of shameless truth, he will be sublimated into a "virtuous minister"

If you want to leave a name in history, you have to join forces.

[After the discussion of these talents in the cabinet, they came up with a two-way method that neither needs to pay compensation to King Qi, nor to fight with King Qi-cede the land. 】

[They decided not to pay compensation to King Qi's Mansion in the future, and to exchange the territories of Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Guangdong, and Fujian provinces to King Qi's Mansion. 】

[You thought you heard it wrong, ceding the territory of the five provinces, this is directly giving away one-third of the territory of Daming!How dare these civil servants speak! 】

[The reality is that the cabinet really thinks so, because the taxes in these five provinces are too poor.Among the five provinces, Guangdong pays the most taxes. The tax paid by Guangdong alone is more than the combined tax paid by the other four provinces.But the tax in Guangdong is less than one-tenth of the tax in Nanzhili, that is, a tall man is selected from a short man.If it is really counted, the combined tax of the five provinces is still less than a quarter of that of Nanzhili.]

[Using the territory of the five provinces to offset the huge indemnity paid to Prince Qi's Mansion every year, this deal can't be more cost-effective. 】

[Three of the five provinces were poisoned by Japanese pirates, and the remaining Guangxi and Yunnan often had chieftain rebellions, making ends meet every year, and it was difficult for people in the court to make money.In the past, at any rate, the Southwest Qi Palace was in charge. Since the fallout with the Qi Palace, the Southwest Army no longer fought for the court, but it worried the cabinet scholars. 】

[The imperial court sends suffocating military expenditures to these five provinces every year, and this military expenditure comes from the national treasury.Although the money in the national treasury has nothing to do with the emperor, it is all the money of cabinet scholars like them. How could it be so ruined. 】

[Now that the five provinces are ceded to King Qi, King Qi's Southwest Army will fight all the wars and chaos, and save a huge amount of compensation. Everyone can settle down and divide up the benefits. Isn't it beautiful? 】

【You sound so stupid, Huanghuang Daming wants to cede the territory of the five provinces to others, how can he see his ancestors after his death? 】

[The cabinet explained patiently, to the effect: "Your Majesty, King Qi is also surnamed Zhu. We are all one family. How can this be called ceding the land? This is called taking care of your own family. After you burp, your ancestors will still boast And you."】

【You think that King Qi is still a family. He closes the door and becomes an emperor, which is more majestic than me, an orthodox emperor. No bird is like this ruined court.We treat King Qi as a family, and King Qi treats us as poor relatives, what kind of a family? 】

[Everyone is discussing with gusto, but you inadvertently notice that there is a person who looks at each other coldly and silently. 】

[This person is called Zhang Juzheng, with the style name Taiyue, and he is listed as the Minister of Rites, a Bachelor of Wuyingdian University, and the Second Assistant of the Cabinet.In your heart, you think that this buddy looks very pleasing to the eye, and everyone in the cabinet is thinking about how to bully the emperor, but this Zhang Juzheng is very honest, and presumably he is also a loyal minister. 】

【However, in the current cabinet, Zhang Juzheng is just a decoration. Although he is a secondary assistant, he has no power and is of no help to you. 】

[Zhang Juzheng has the vain job of being a minor security guard and the prince's grand security guard, and he belongs to the die-hard princeling party.You hope that after your death, Zhang Juzheng can help the prince regain the imperial power, and don't let your young prince repeat the same mistakes and become a puppet of the cabinet. 】

【You know that your son has limited talent and can't fight against the cabinet, but Zhang Ju is just a good helper. He looks honest and can definitely help the prince suppress the cabinet and return the power to the emperor. 】

The imperial power fell, and the emperor became a puppet.

In the matter of ceding the land, the emperor has no right to resist!

Zhu Di's heart has been numb, and he doesn't express any opinion on this.

Compared with the stupid things he had done by the emperors of past dynasties, Emperor Longqing was already pretty good.

Because Long Qing has nothing to do, he is just a mascot.He didn't dare to resist, because he was afraid that he would die inexplicably like Emperor Wuzong.

Emperor Longqing's behavior style is: I would rather do nothing than make mistakes.

"Ming Bao Zong" called the emperor Zhu Qizhen to do something, and almost made Daming play away;
Ming Wuzong's mighty general Zhu Houzhao wanted to do something, and then played himself to death;

"Ming Xianzong" Taoist emperor Zhu Houcong wanted to do something (conquer the southwest), and the 30 army was gone;
Emperor Longqing just didn't do anything, but he did nothing wrong.

If he did something, I'm afraid Daming would be even worse.

[After the cabinet's discussion, Gao Gong decided to send Zhang Juzheng to negotiate with King Qi and carry out the "reparation for five provinces". 】

[You swear, your heart is definitely protesting.But in reality, you can only agree. 】

[However, this "payment for five provinces" has ended before it even started.Not because of the conscience of the cabinet ministers, but because the emperor is about to die. 】

【You are sick, you have survived for nearly 30 years before you killed your own father, and in the end you can't do it yourself either. 】

[Before you died, you summoned the queen, the prince, and the prince's biological mother Li Guifei in turn, and said some last words.Originally, you were supposed to summon Gao Gong, the chief assistant of the cabinet, but before you summoned Gao Gong, you summoned Zhang Juzheng first. 】

【After Zhang Juzheng arrived, you dispersed everyone and said weakly: "Mr. Zhang, can I trust you?" Zhang Juzheng agreed without hesitation. 】

[You watched Zhang Juzheng carefully, and finally believed in this person, and said: "So, after the new emperor ascends the throne, he will rely on Mr. Zhang. I will tell the prince to let him trust you wholeheartedly and help you defeat the powerful officials. After the downfall of those powerful ministers..."]

[Zhang Juzheng said categorically: "I am not a person who loves power. I am loyal to the emperor. Your Majesty has high expectations for me. How can I live up to my majesty. After I have defeated my ministers, I will immediately retire and return to my hometown, so that the new emperor can regain the imperial power!" 】

[You nodded in relief, Zhang Juzheng, I shouldn't let you down... right? 】

[You once again summoned the prince Zhu Yijun, and after explaining all the funeral affairs, you summoned Gao Gong symbolically, and then fell unconscious. 】

[At Maoshi the next day, he died in Qianqing Palace. 】

[Zhu Zaiyi's simulation of the emperor's life is complete. 】

"Indemnity for five provinces" did not come true in the end, but Zhu Di knew that it was because of the sudden death of the emperor, and the cabinet would continue to do it when the new emperor ascended the throne.

And Zhu Di also remembered the name "Zhang Juzheng".

Whether the new emperor can regain the imperial power depends on Zhang Juzheng.

It has to be said that Emperor Longqing did not live in vain.He knew that he didn't have that ability, but he didn't want the emperor to be the puppet of civil servants, so he played a dirty trick before he died.

The emperor pinned all his hopes on one person. If Zhang Juzheng could defeat the powerful ministers, then the new emperor could regain the imperial power again.Of course, the premise is that Zhang Juzheng keeps his promise and returns home after defeating powerful officials.

But can Zhang Juzheng really do so many things alone?

The ministers of the cabinet can even do such things as ceding the territory of five provinces. How powerful is Zhang Juzheng, how can he fight against a group of powerful enemies?
Zhu Di was a little skeptical, but still chose to believe in Emperor Longqing's vision.

After all, he has nothing to do. If Zhu Di can live to be more than 200 years old, can there be so many troubles?Zhu Di was not the emperor of the later generations, how the Ming Dynasty will develop depends on whether the future generations can live up to their expectations.

Zhu Di remembers clearly that it is now the 12th year of Yongle, and he died in the 22nd year of Yongle. He only has ten years of life left. He must hurry up and pave the way for future generations.Zhu Di felt a little regretful. If God gave him another ten years, Zhu Di was confident that he could lead Daming to sweep away the alien races in the north, and then quell the rebellion in the south.
Ever since he became emperor, Zhu Di has everything he should have, but now he just feels barren, and he lacks one thing—time.

The hero has gray hair, the general is late, and the carving knife of the years is closely following Zhu Di's steps.

Zhu Di suddenly began to hate this National Games simulation system.

If it weren't for this national luck simulation system, Zhu Di would not be able to see the future of Daming, and he would not be so anxious, unable to sleep at night, and worrying about Daming.He tried hard to change the future, but it was so difficult to change the future, and it seemed so insignificant to fight against the destiny with manpower.

If he doesn't think about the future, he can cover his ears and eyes, pretend that nothing happened, and imagine that after his death, the great achievements of the Ming Dynasty will last forever, and that the descendants of future generations will be able to compete in literature and martial arts, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment.

In the dark, Zhu Di seemed to hear a melodious voice mocking him:
"It hurts so much when you think about it."

The person who spoke was Zhu Di himself.

He was talking to himself, muttering to himself, not knowing whether it was regret or unwillingness.
