I, Jiajing, join the Ming Emperor chat group

Chapter 250 A new round of group meetings, Emperor Hongzhi joins the group
to be frank.

After seeing the group message, Zhu Houcong fell into deep thought.

Random events?

It seems that the problem is so big that a meeting must be held to discuss it, and ordinary group chats are of no use anymore, and an in-depth discussion must be conducted face to face.

After all, this random event may have a positive impact or a negative impact.

Regardless of whether it is positive or negative, it is better to talk to everyone and face it together.

[The group meeting is advanced due to force majeure. New members will be invited to join the group meeting. The group owner can initiate a new round of group meetings. Do you want to initiate a group meeting and invite new group members? 】

Listening to the mechanical sound ringing in his ears, Zhu Houcong couldn't help but be a little surprised that he was able to invite group members again. Therefore, Zhu Houcong did not hesitate at all and immediately said: "Invite new members from the Ming Dynasty to start a group meeting!"

Although the capabilities of my own group system have been increased, it is still a bit annoying to invite group members. If you are not careful, for example, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty may be invited in by accident.

But this doesn’t happen often anymore, and it doesn’t matter anymore.

Zhu Houcong took a deep breath and waited for the group members to enter.

【Searching for new group members...】

[Search completed, Zhu Youtang has been invited to join the group chat. 】

Seeing the small gilt characters in front of him, Zhu Houcong's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Zhu Youtang!
This is Emperor Hongzhi, who is known as "the most benevolent emperor of the Ming Dynasty" by the civil servants. He is also a famous infatuated person. He is a pair for life. He is also the father of his imperial uncle, the Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao.

With Zhu Youtang joining the group, Zhu Houcong has to say that there is a good show to watch~
After all, this imperial uncle is the emperor who likes civil servants the most.

Even Emperor Renzong Zhu Gaochi, whose reputation was not much different, was still able to control civil servants, but he was only at the level of a normal emperor.

As for Emperor Xiaozong, Zhu Youtang... this one was a heavyweight, and he almost regarded the civil servant as his father. The civil servant's scoundrel executed his own father to death, but he graciously let him go, and finally executed himself as well.

For the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty, the best era was the late Wanli period.

The second best era was the Hongzhi Dynasty of Emperor Xiaozong Zhu Youtang.

But if I say my favorite emperor is still Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youtang, Wanli cannot do it.

To them, Emperor Wanli is the kind of person who remembers your era in my heart, but they still have to scold you. If you don't scold you, you can't hide the fact that you haven't been in court for so many years.

As for Emperor Hongzhi, he seemed very diligent and hard-working, but...it can only be said that the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty were in trouble.

But now, Emperor Hongzhi will not be so comfortable.

Zhu Houcong also wanted to see how his cousin should deal with the emperor's uncle's problem.

At this thought, Zhu Houcong smiled softly, and then with a thought, he chose the original pavilion and waterside pavilion and entered the group meeting.

After Zhu Houcong entered the pavilion and waterside pavilion in the group meeting space, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in the Jiaqing Dynasty, was deep in thought and fell into deep thought.

Because what was in front of him was a peace agreement sent by the chief of the Qing Dynasty.

That's right, the peace agreement.

However, after Zhu Yuanzhang read it, he felt that this should not be called a peace agreement, but a surrender document.

What surprised Zhu Yuanzhang was that the Qing emperor Jiaqing was willing to cede the entire Southwest and Northwest!
And the subsequent intention seems to be to give up the entire Central Plains.

This is really surprising.

Don’t even bother to fight, just send it to you directly?

What are the Manchu ministers doing?

Don't you want to persuade this chief?

It's not that Zhu Yuanzhang is cautious, he has never seen such a situation. As soon as he left Sichuan, the other party couldn't wait to surrender... This is like Zhuge Liang just left Qishan, Wei and Wu both surrendered, leaving nothing to Zhuge Liang. Opportunity to react.

Kind of magical.

Even if you are bound to lose, you will still struggle. What does this mean?
Could it be a conspiracy to create slaves?

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression narrowed slightly, and he felt something unusual, but he didn't speak, just thinking quietly.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't understand Jiaqing's words of 'suspend the attack and deploy troops to achieve good relations between the two countries'.

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally didn't know what Wen Hongli said to Jiaqing, nor did he know what Jiaqing was afraid of.

Jiaqing now naturally knows that his opponent is not a single Ming Dynasty, but a combination of more than ten Ming Dynasties, with all kinds of strange methods, including gods!

Anyway, under Wen Hongli's various encouragements, Jiaqing had become cowardly, so he came up with the idea of ​​traveling thousands of miles to fight in Korea, Japan, and even going to North America to compete with the United States.

Now he just wants to use the most sincere attitude to impress Zhu Yuanzhang so that he can find a place to relax.

But there was something about Jiaqing's methods that left Monk Zhu Yuanzhang confused as to what he was doing.

"Hmph, it's just a tactic to suspect soldiers."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly. He was also in the group chat. He naturally saw Zhu Houcong's words and understood that the most important thing now was to end the battle as soon as possible.

If it had been placed before, he might have been extremely happy to decide the country with strategies.

but now……

"Kill this envoy who founded the slaves, and advance the whole army!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly: "Leave no one behind!"

Even if what Jiaqing said was true, Zhu Yuanzhang would not allow it.

because,

The whole world is the territory of the Ming Dynasty!
Even if Jiaqing went to North Korea, Japan or even North America, he still could not escape the fate of being punished!These places should be conquered by the Ming Dynasty instead of embarrassing the Qing Dynasty.

After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, the sergeants on the left and right immediately took orders, pulled down the Qing envoy who was waiting outside the tent, killed him on the spot, and left his head to return.

After the killing, Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his temples, lay on the chair, and took a deep breath.

[The group owner 'Zhu Houcong, Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty' has held a group meeting. Do you want to participate in this group meeting? 】

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned by the news that suddenly appeared in front of him.

It's not time for the meeting.

But soon, Zhu Yuanzhang realized that something was wrong.

After all, this was not the first time that a meeting had been held in advance. With Zhu Houcong's words, Zhu Yuanzhang already understood that something big must have happened.

But at the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang also had some expectations, looking forward to whether there would be new members in this group meeting.

After all, for the remaining group members, except Zhu Gaochi, he wanted to moisten their throats.And why except Zhu Gaochi?
Because Zhu Gaochi was the only one among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty who wanted to move the capital back to Nanjing. He was indeed his great grandson!How could there be such a big gap between Sun Tzu and Sun Tzu when they became emperors?
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang thought of Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen again, and for a moment he hated that iron could not become steel.

It's just that the battlefield Zhu Yunwen is now responsible for is not on his side, so Zhu Yuanzhang shouted fiercely: "Enter!"

Zhu Yunwen just hopes that new members will join the group, otherwise he will severely let Zhu Yunwen know what grandpa's wrath is!
……

In the 16th year of Hongzhi, summer.

Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youtang was sitting on the dragon throne, holding an old copy of "The Analects of Confucius" in his hand, reading it tirelessly.

Although he has read "The Analects of Confucius" eight hundred times, this does not prevent Zhu Youtang from reading it every time.

Especially when there are maids, eunuchs and foreign ministers around.

Zhu Youtang attaches great importance to his character and is very satisfied with his current character.

He is very comfortable and has nothing too big to do. He usually only needs to read books and newspapers, and then see what talents are recommended by the loyal people in his court, and then he can just "take care of things".

Zhu Youtang has been the emperor for 16 years and feels that it is not difficult to be a wise monarch.

In the past 16 years, he hasn't felt anything wrong?

Zhu Youtang stretched and thought like this.

After all, there really were no famous events in the Hongzhi Dynasty.

Such as the founding of the Hongwu Dynasty, the Jingnan Dynasty of the Jianwen Dynasty, the Northern Expedition of the Yongle Dynasty, the sudden collapse of the Hongxi Dynasty, the chaos of the Han Dynasty in the Xuande Dynasty, the Tumu Fortress of the Zhengtong Dynasty, the capture of the Jingtai Dynasty, the harem disputes of the Chenghua Dynasty... …

Compared with the situation of his predecessors, where almost everyone had a major event, Zhu Youtang, the emperor, had a smooth life, so he could only find another way, respect civil servants, and try his best to become the kind of sage emperor described by Confucianism.

However, in the Hongzhi Dynasty, there was one thing that was different from the emperors of the previous dynasties.

There were many "mysterious cases" during the Hongzhi Dynasty.

For example, the famous 'Mancang'er Case' involved Dongchang's death struggle and an innocent girl being implicated.

The "Silkworm God Murder Case" caused a sensation all over the country. There were many doubts in the case. Three servants were handed over as the final murderers, but the landlord was fine.

The eunuch Li Guang, who had the same name as a famous general of the Han Dynasty, committed suicide out of fear of crime and left behind a ledger in which the names of many civil servants and generals were recorded, including the number of stones of yellow rice, the number of stones of white rice, etc. The implication was widespread, and the Snake Princess official department There are six ministers, including the Minister of Rites, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, as well as officials such as the General Secretary.

These three cases represent crimes committed by civil servants, crimes committed by landlords, and officialdom battles respectively.

Because nothing major happened, adhering to the Confucian philosophy of governing the country, military preparations in the Hongzhi Dynasty were depleted. The three most powerful battalions in the Ming Dynasty and the [-]th battalion in the capital were completely transformed into construction teams. The strength of the army has declined compared to the early Ming Dynasty. Many.

What's even more stupid is that because of credulously trusting the tribute of the little Mongolian prince, the Hetao that Chenghua had regained was lost.

Letting his relatives annex the land, after all, they will be together for the rest of their lives. The queen only has two brothers. If he doesn't pamper him, who will?
The Yan Zheng was destroyed by Zhu Youtang single-handedly.

In addition, the expenditure on worshiping Buddhism is much more than that of the famous emperor Zhu Houcong who cultivated immortals...

Many historians of later generations have already given the answer. For example, Professor Fang Zhiyuan once commented in "The Structure and Operational Mechanism of State Power in the Ming Dynasty": In fact, Xiaozong was not only at the mercy of civil servants, but also at the mercy of internal ministers. Judging from his various actions, he should be a An emperor with low IQ or relatively weak mind.

In "The Great History of China" and "The 15th Year of Wanli", there are also sentences such as "The more humble and gentle Emperor Hongzhi was and allowed himself to be manipulated by civil servants, the more civil servants praised him as a wise and wise king."

There are also "The Collection of Ming History" written by Tian Peidong, a professor at Beijing Normal University, and "The Biography of Emperor Hongzhi" written by Guo Hou'an, a professor at Northwest Normal University, all of which criticized this so-called Mingjun.

Zhu Youtang condoned officials' corruption and bribery and abuse of private power.

Therefore, after Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, facing these civil servants, he angrily said, "Is everything in the world caused by internal officials?"Courtiers often do bad things, and my generation also knew this. He was rescued after falling into the water, and he became a dignified emperor. He died of his injuries in the end.

All in all, it is difficult to live up to the great reputation. Zhu Youtang was a plain and conservative monarch who lacked achievements. He had an inflated reputation because he met the requirements of tradition.

The so-called resurgence of the Hongzhi Dynasty was nothing more than taking advantage of the Chenghua Dynasty's capital.

Nothing worth pondering.

But Zhu Youtang doesn’t think so.

He was praised by those civil servants every day, and his brain had been blown away.

He now feels that my father is nothing more than this. After my death, I am afraid I can become the representative of a wise monarch like Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty, right?

He even regretted that he was born too late. If he had been born a few years earlier, perhaps the posthumous title of Emperor Taizong Wen would have been his.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in Zhu Youtang's mind.

[You have been invited to join the Ming Emperor chat group. 】

[The group leader 'Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong' held a group meeting, did you attend? 】

Seeing this scene, Zhu Youtang was stunned.

Who?
Zhu Houcong?
Who is this?
What is the Ming Emperor chat group?
He fell into deep thought.

the reason is simple.

His son's name is Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houcong...

I really don’t know who it is.

That's right, Zhu Youtang really doesn't know who Zhu Houcong is.

After all, there are so many clans in the Ming Dynasty, and all the descendants of King Yan and his peers who inherit the king's title can use thick characters as their generation.

Although Zhu Houcong's father, King Xingxian, was Zhu Youtang's younger brother, Zhu Youtang had long forgotten about this younger brother. How could he remember the child of this forgotten younger brother...

But it didn't matter. Although he was scolded by later generations for having a problem with his IQ, Zhu Youtang could still roughly guess what it was.

At the same time, Zhu Youtang also showed a confident smile.

This time, I can join the group and show off, and become famous with my ancestors in advance!
After all, under his rule, the Ming Dynasty prospered and climbed steadily. He was also a wise emperor comparable to Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, creating brilliant scenes that were no less than the rule of Wenjing, the rule of Zhenguan, and the prosperous Kaiyuan era.

This is Zhu Youtang's strength.

This is how Zhu Youtang dared to face his ancestors!

He couldn't wait to be praised.

And, one more thing.

Zhu Youtang also wanted to go in and have a look, what is the origin of this person named Zhu Houcong... What does Emperor Jiajing mean? Did my son Houzhao die before me, so I changed to a prince?

But I don’t have any other sons, right?Could it be that I can still have a second child?

Under heavy doubts, Zhu Youtang took a deep breath:

"Join, I want to join!"
