A century-old family that runs through the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 187: 31 Years Old

Time passed by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the Hongzhi Dynasty.

Zhu Jianshen died in the 29th year of Chenghua.

It has lived six years longer than the original history.

After all, in the original time and space, he was heartbroken because of the death of Concubine Wan Gui, so he died, but in this time and space, Sister Wan was unknown where she was, so he lived for a few more years.

However, this may not be a good thing.Although Chenghua was brilliant in his early years, he was mediocre in his later years. In addition, Yan Jingxiu had already taken office in the 16th year of Chenghua, Shang Ren died in the 20th year of Chenghua, and the cabinet was assimilated by Zhu Jianshen, so he did nothing.

The palace was full of chaos and there were many more monks and Taoist priests; in the court, corruption began to prevail in the empire.

Compared with the prosperity in the early period, the national power of the Ming Dynasty at this time was gradually declining.

However, in the 29th year of Chenghua, all this came to an end.

His posthumous title was Jitian Ning Daocheng Mingren, who respected Emperor Wensu, Wuhongde, Shengxiaochun, and his temple name was Xianzong. He was buried in Maoling.

At this time, his eldest son Zhu Youji had died, so his second son, Zhu Youtang, succeeded him.

The reign name is Hongzhi.

He began his reign.

The Hongzhi Dynasty lasted for 12 years, which was also 12 years of self-cultivation.

During this period, he eliminated a group of Taoist monks left behind by his father, kicked out the ministers who were in the cabinet and appointed a group of virtuous officials, which made the Ming Dynasty prosperous.

He sent the Ming army to recapture the Hami Guards and reestablished his rule in the Western Regions.

Emperor Hongzhi was considerate of the people. During his reign, the amount of tax exemptions for the people was far more than that of his father, which showed his benevolence.

Needless to say, other matters such as reducing royal expenses, prohibiting kings and nobles from appropriating people's land, etc. needless to say.

The shadows of Hong Xi and Xuande seemed to appear on him, which gave Ming Dynasty a wave of blood.

Of course, if you really want to say that this emperor is the Holy Lord Mingjun, then it cannot be considered complete.

Needless to say, Empress Zhang's two brothers have not changed much in this time and space. Taking advantage of Empress Zhang's favor, they acted recklessly and made the people of the capital complain.

And in the last years of Hongzhi, Minister Liu Daxia also went to court and publicly said this sentence:
"The people of the world are poor and have all their wealth!" It can be seen that Hongzhi Zhongxing was not so perfect.

Although this was due to frequent natural disasters, the emperor always took connivant measures in the face of corruption by officials and eunuchs, which cannot be said to be an important factor.

He also liked to mingle with noble civil servants. Some of the crimes they committed during the Renxuan years were enough to be beheaded, but they were easily passed over by him.

For example, in the smuggling case of Marquis Anyuan, he dared to sell strategic materials such as sulfur and saltpeter. This time Jiaozhi was included in the Ming Dynasty, so he could not sell it to Jiaozhi.

Sold to the Governor's Palace of Luzon.

Just like this, what happened to all three clans during the Hongwu period was that he was dismissed as the General Soldier of Guangdong and was not deprived of his title.

However, some things that happened in the Hongzhi Dynasty were also different from the original time and space.In the original history, Liu Daxia and others reformed the Five Army Governor's Office during the Hongzhi Dynasty, stripping away the personnel appointment and dismissal power of the Five Armed Forces Governor's Office, the management power of military households and military fields. After that, military power was completely vested in civilian officials. In his hands, the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion was reduced to an empty shell, and the Ming Dynasty nobles lost all the right to speak.

As for this time and space, the civil servants failed to succeed. The nobles launched a fierce resistance under the leadership of contemporary Chen Guogong. Although Yan Yuan was young, he was very capable.

"Emperor Taizu decreed that the Governor's Office of the Five Armies is in charge of the power of commanding the troops and the world's guards, while the Ministry of War is responsible for the mobilization of the Ming army and the dispatch of food, grass and weapons. Both parties perform their respective duties in an orderly manner, which also prevents the ministers from being distracted. Alien heart."

"Now the Ministry of War wants to get these powers and evacuate the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces. If your Majesty allows it, then the military power and administrative power will be vested in the six ministries and controlled by the cabinet. Your Majesty, I would like to ask, who is in charge in this world? dominate?"

With just a few words, Emperor Hongzhi changed his mind instantly.

Although these words are exaggerated, the real situation is far more complicated than this. It is very difficult for the cabinet to control the military power and threaten the emperor, but it does not prevent the possibility.If this is possible, the emperor will not allow it.

No matter how much Hongzhi listened to the civil officials, he would never leave his own safety to others.

The efforts of Liu Daxia and other ministers to consolidate military power to the Ministry of War directly failed.

This was also the first time that Yan Yuan showed his fangs, which attracted the attention of the civil servants.

But other than that, there was no major conflict between Chen Guogong's government and the ministers. As long as there was no struggle for power, and the emperor and the civil servants got along well, then the nobles naturally did not have to go against the civil servants.

Generally speaking, it is also ZTE.

No matter what, Hongzhi's 12th year has passed like this.In the long period that the Ming Dynasty has gone through, these 12 years are not very eye-catching.

In the past 12 years, Yan Ling basically stayed in the south, only going back when he ascended the throne.

It was not until the eve of Zhu Houzhao's ascension that he finally returned to Beijing.

……

In the 12th year of Hongzhi's reign, Emperor Hongzhi passed away. He was given the posthumous title of Jian Tianming, Daocheng, Zhongzheng, Shenwen, Shenwu, benevolence and virtue, and the temple was named Xiaozong.His eldest son and only son Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne and was named Zhengde.

This is another young emperor. When he ascended the throne, he was only 15 years old.

【Zhu Houzhao】

【政治：77军事：79经营：60武力：79外交：68】

He doesn't look very tall, but you know, he is only 15 years old!
Although management and diplomacy are obviously a bit stretched, the other three are very good.

At this time, the panel made a sound again, and it seemed that the reward had arrived.

Yan Ling took a look at his reward.

Witnessing Zhu Youtang's ascension to the throne before was naturally beneficial, but now that thing is hanging around his waist.

[Equipment: Ancient Bronze Sword]

[Effects: Sense of mystery +50%, Sense of oppression +50%, Increase overall enemy morale +100%]

As for this time, it is a character experience card.

Yan Ling glanced at it, and the next second, the young man with a hearty smile on his face and a halo surrounding his body made him unable to take his eyes away anymore.

wc, show!

[Character Experience Card: Liu Xiu]

【Want to know what a child of destiny is?Meteorites, glaciers... there is always one suitable for you. 】

Yan Ling's eyes widened.

Brother Hou Zhao, you are really my lucky star, you actually got his experience card!

With this thing, plus the previous [Wine Glass] and [Weather Experience Card: Strong Wind], personal safety is worry-free!Who can touch me?

Not only that, Yan Ling now is a humanoid natural disaster if he wants to!
The smile on his lips was harder to suppress than AK's.
