I, Jiajing, join the Ming Emperor chat group

Chapter 53 Jiajing Dynasty Conference, Folang Jiren and Henan People

During the Jiajing Dynasty, the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The breeze blew past, making the sleeves rattle. Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong stood in the hall, facing the breeze, all the court ladies and eunuchs around bowed their heads in submission, and in front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, four officials in red robes saluted respectfully, and piles of historical materials were also piled up beside him.

Zhu Houcong held a Daoist scripture in his hand, and after looking at it twice, he felt inexplicable.

I haven't returned to the Jiajing Dynasty for three months. I didn't expect that the ministers would be respectful to me as soon as I came back. Even the court ladies and eunuchs felt that I was destined by fate, so I dare not refuse.

Performing a time travel in public, the effect is even greater than my past six years in power.

Zhu Houcong couldn't help but smile slightly.

Ancient people ate this most.

Now that I am in the city of Beijing, it can be said that I can say what I say, and no one dares to stop me!
"Your Majesty, the historical materials from the first year of Hongwu to the first year of Jiajing are all here."

Huang Jinhe and the two or three little eunuchs behind him held tall historical materials and showed great respect to Zhu Houcong.

These are not only about official historical materials, but also a lot of materials collected from the people.

"Good." Zhu Houcong nodded, "Put it over there."

"promise!"

The eunuch Huang Jin immediately ordered the eunuch to put away these historical materials and pile them up together, waiting for Zhu Houcong's next transmission, and then take them away together.

Zhu Houcong naturally heard Zhu Di's unfinished last sentence.

That's why he collected these historical materials and prepared to take them there next time, so that Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di and even Zhu Qiyu could see enough.

"His Majesty."

Seeing that Zhu Houcong seemed to have dealt with everything, Zhang Cong on the side spoke up and said, "Yang Tinghe and Yang Shen will see you."

"Xuan."

Hearing this, Zhu Houcong turned around elegantly, and the eunuch Huang Jin was also very sensible to order several eunuchs to lift the chairs, and let Zhu Houcong sit in front of the hall like this, looking at the two figures, one old and one strong.

Different from Yang Tinghe's old-fashioned and steady state in memory, and also different from Yang Shen's high-spirited spirit in memory, their father and son look haggard now, Yang Tinghe has a lot more troubles on his head, and Yang Shen looks seven or eight years older.

"Minister Yang Tinghe and Yang Shen kowtow to His Majesty, Your Majesty bows down!"

Yang Tinghe and Yang Shen stepped forward to salute.

"I'm safe."

Zhu Houcong shook his head, and continued: "Yang Qing doesn't need to be polite, let's be flat."

After Yang Tinghe and Yang Shen got up, Zhu Houcong didn't hesitate at all, and just opened his mouth and said, "Did Yang Qing ever have a strong body, can he continue to serve the country?"

Hearing Zhu Houcong's words, Yang Tinghe's body bowed down a bit. He didn't have the attitude of the head and assistant who was so powerful in the past. Instead, he was obsequious like an ordinary old man: "The old minister is old and faint, and it is not good for the country and the court. Although he intends to, but with a humble body, I am afraid that he will not be able to serve His Majesty and devote himself to the Ming Dynasty."

On the other hand, Yang Shen who was at the side was a little bit happy when he heard the words, but after hearing Yang Tinghe's voice, he immediately stopped smiling and bowed his waist a few times.

Back then, Yang Tinghe went home to farm, while Yang Shen took the lead in provoking trouble because of the Dali Discussion incident, and was sent to Yunnan.

In the past few years, Yang Shen has obviously become much more honest.

They don't think that I let them come back to wear shoes for them, right?

Seeing the two of them like this, Zhu Houcong couldn't help laughing, and then said: "Mr. Yang Ge put down the eight tigers, planned to get rid of Jiang Bin, and welcomed me as the emperor. I have contributed to the community. How can I bear that Mr. Yang Ge died in the family farm like this?"

"More than a hundred years later, the Ming Dynasty is in turmoil. There are slaves who invaded the side and separatist regimes. My descendants, the sixteenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian, is an idiot. The cabinet members are not only idiots but also traitors. There are very few talented people. It is precisely Yang Ge who needs to continue to shine for my Ming Dynasty."

Hearing Zhu Houcong's voice, Yang Tinghe didn't react for a while, and Yang Shen was even more incredulous.

You have to pull back after retirement, right? You are not an emperor, you are clearly a capitalist!
Yang Tinghe sighed deeply, even though he had heard on the way here that His Majesty the Son of Heaven is intelligent, and he was destined to lead an army of [-] to rescue the Sixteenth Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and defend the capital.

And according to the wounded soldiers who came back, they did go to the world 100 years later.

But Yang Tinghe still has a little skeptical attitude towards this.

But when Zhu Houcong said it himself, Yang Tinghe didn't know what to do for a while.

And Yang Shen...

Because it was located at the border, he had never heard of these rumors at all, and he just thought... the emperor was crazy.

But Yang Tinghe just changed his mind slightly, and then cupped his hands and said: "If Your Majesty really has a way to send the old minister to more than a hundred years later, the old minister is willing to go through fire and water for Ming Dynasty, and will not say anything!"

Him, Yang Tinghe.

Not voluntary retirement.

It's a power struggle, it's because of disagreement with Emperor Jiajing, it's because Emperor Xingxian praised the test but he didn't, and it's because of grievances in his heart!

Although you are the emperor, can I quit?

In this way, Yang Tinghe withdrew from the power center, but it didn't mean that Yang Tinghe didn't want to return to this kind of life, it's just that Jiajing, the boss, didn't feel right.

In this regard, Zhu Houcong did not kill him. After all, the ministers of the Ming Dynasty still have to have some character.

This is better than surrendering at every turn later, right?
Going a little further, this is better than ministers who served as slaves to the Manchus in the Manchu court, right?What did the emperors of the Qing Dynasty do? All these ministers were like quails, afraid to speak.

In the Ming Dynasty, at least in the Jiajing Dynasty, Zhu Houcong still wanted to see a court full of flowers.

And Yang Shen's eyes widened when he heard his father's words.

father.

The emperor is crazy, why are you crazy too?

Yang Shen felt a little weird, but he found that the cabinet ministers in front of him, whether it was Zhang Cong, Wang Shouren, Fei Hong, Xi Shu, etc., didn't have any expressions. They seemed to agree with the Emperor Ming's matter very much, and even... were eager to try.

This made Yang Shen feel even more incomprehensible.

"Good, Mr. Yang Ge and Yang Qing still need to take care of their health."

Zhu Houcong nodded, very satisfied with Yang Tinghe's answer, and then said: "I remember that there are still a few rooms in Jiaque in the city, and I asked Yang and his son to live there, and arranged for the imperial physician to take care of their bodies."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Houcong waved his hand, looked at his cabinet scholars, and said, "Did anything happen in the past three months?"

"Qizou Your Majesty, Jinghaiwei and Weihaiwei came to report on the 27th that the Japanese pirates invaded the frontier. The two guards of our army won a big victory and beheaded the Japanese pirates at level [-]..."

"Mao Bowen, the prime minister of Dali Temple, played a performance a month ago, saying..."

"Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Marquis of Anyuan, Liu Wen reported that a fleet of Frangji people and Henan people passed by...Your Majesty, it is really interesting to say that in that barbaric land, there is a country with the same name as Henan, isn't it absurd?"

Hearing the last sentence of the report, Zhu Houcong immediately understood that the minister would have made a mistake, or that the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi had made a mistake in translation.

That should be the Dutch and Portuguese fleets.

Historically, in the 21st year of Jiajing, the Portuguese fleet wanted to conspire with Xiangshan County, and under the pretext of "borrowing the land to dry the flooded goods", they bribed Wang Bai, the Deputy Envoy of Guangdong's Criminal Inspection Division to inspect Haidao, and was allowed to temporarily live in the Australian peninsula.

Later, step by step, Macau became a colony of Portugal.

And Henan... no, it's the Netherlands.

During the Wanli period, Taiwan was directly colonized!

But for the time being, Zhu Houcong doesn't want to tear himself apart with these two countries.

"Order Liu Wen to negotiate with Frangji. I want to buy some firearms. As for the price... just talk about it casually. I don't plan to buy it." Zhu Houcong said casually.

It is known that after the landing of the Jiangnan Manufacturing General Administration, he will have an invincible fleet that spans the ages.

So, hold on to these Westerners now, and after the fleet strikes, Zhu Houcong will tell them directly, what is the real empire on which the sun never sets, and what is the real armada at sea!
"The minister takes orders."

Although Xi Shu, the scholar of Wenhuadian University, who was in charge of this matter was a little confused, he still led the order.

After all, the current Da Tianzi has the blessing of heaven, and they are the real sons of destiny. All they can do is obey!

Unless it is something too extreme, the cabinet will not have any opinion.

"How is the reform progress in Jiangnan and other places?"

Zhu Houcong took the tea from Huang Jin, took a sip, then put it down, and turned to ask Zhang Cong, a scholar of Dongge University.

Zhang Cong immediately reported: "Returning to Your Majesty, it is not very kind, but some landlords heard that Your Majesty has a destiny, so they took the initiative to implement it, but there are still some people who are stubbornly resisting..."

"Humph!"

Zhu Houcong snorted coldly, and then said: "Mr. Wang Ge, please take my sword and go to the south of the Yangtze River next time. Take a battalion from the Beijing battalion and station it in Nanjing to carry out reforms. If there are any obstacles, beheaded!"

"The minister takes orders!"

Wang Yangming's face was full of red, sonorous and powerful.

Zhu Houcong actually wanted to kiss Jiangnan, but Zhu Qiyu's change of seizing the door was just around the corner. For a while, Zhu Houcong didn't have much time to do it himself. He just stayed in Beijing safely, waiting to see how Zhu Qizhen was beaten by Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di.

When the time comes, it will definitely be exciting.

"However, I don't know how prepared Jingtai Emperor is now."
