I, Zhu Houzhao, join the US imperialist chat group

Chapter 11 Zhu Houzhao: Feeling tired! How to control the Ming Dynasty with these insects!
"Binzhi, why are you still following His Majesty?"

While Li Dongyang was thinking wildly, Liu Jian spoke again, with an angry look on his face. He looked at Li Dongyang with some sorrow: "Can't you see? This is another excuse for His Majesty not to go to court or handle government affairs!"

The dignified Li Dongyang was led astray.

Liu Jian finally realized Zhu Houzhao's new tricks of laziness and neglect of government.

"You also lied about a Mei Taizu, Mei Shizu? Is there a Great Mei Dynasty?"

"Restore the dynasty with a population of 30 million..."

"All of you here are well-educated people. Have you ever heard of this great American dynasty?"

"Zhang Sheng, have you, the Ministry of Rites, heard of the Damei Dynasty in these years and the past many years? Do you have envoys from the Damei Dynasty coming to pay homage?"

Zhang Sheng shook his head.

Liu Jian became even more angry and blurted out: "Your Majesty, he is so shameless! No, Liu Jin and the others are simply treacherous villains. It is not enough to deceive Your Majesty into not going to court, but now he wants to deceive Your Majesty into going to the West? What is his intention? !”

"Yes! Lord Chief Assistant is right! People like Liu Jin are simply a scourge. If they are not killed, the people will not be angry!"

"Your Majesty should have been working hard to govern, but now he is interested in barbarians. If word spreads, wouldn't it mean that he loses his royal dignity?"

"Never go to the West!"

Liu Jian's indignation was once again echoed by the courtiers.

The voyage to the West was of no benefit to them at all.

The reason is very simple. For the salaries of Ming officials, sometimes the court did not have enough money, so they would give them things to offset their salaries and let them sell them themselves.

During the Hongwu period, Zhu Yuanzhang had done this before. He directly distributed pepper and other spices to officials, and then the officials cashed in the money.

Pepper was also more expensive at that time.

But after Zhu Di came to power, Zheng He brought a lot of spices from the West.

The sudden inflation of pepper caused the pepper in the hands of officials to depreciate.

Their own interests were harmed, and Zhu Di did not give them any money, so they naturally wanted to protest against the voyage to the West.

By the time of Zhu Zhanji, there were too many people protesting, so Zhu Zhanji stopped his voyages to the West, and the royal family also lost a financial source.

Wealth will not disappear, it will only be transferred.

In the decades since the royal family had not sailed to the West, businesses such as sea trade had long been occupied by wealthy families along the coast, and those wealthy families used the money to manage officials.

They have long become a community of interests.

Don't talk about threats from the American dynasty overseas.

Even if it were true, the huge profits from sea trade would be enough for these people to collectively oppose Zhu Houzhao's voyages to the West.

It's best not to have any thoughts at all.

Zhu Houzhao has now revealed this idea. Just in case, Zhu Houzhao's signs of going to the West must be nipped in the bud.

Therefore, it is right that everyone is either harboring hidden agendas or following Liu Jian, and all have no brains to object.

Could it be that these people are crazy about resisting His Majesty?

Li Dongyang did not agree with the excitement of the crowd, but couldn't help but sympathize with Zhu Houzhao. He just wanted to find some French people, and it seemed that he was going to be criticized like snowflakes again.

Naturally, there was a trace of sympathy, and Li Dongyang also had some doubts about whether Zhu Houzhao really wanted to go to the West. Anyway, since Zhu Houzhao came to power, no one had a clue about Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao always gives them a whole life in unexpected places.

"Play!"

"Where is your majesty now? For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, I must persuade your majesty to kill Liu Jin today!"

"We collectively petition!"

"Your Majesty can't be idle like this!"

The ministers quickly took the next step. Liu Jian stopped dealing with state affairs when it came to matters involving their own interests. He directly led a group of officials to the harem angrily, asking Zhu Houzhao to find an explanation.

At the same time, Zhu Houzhao can't be idle all day long. It is best to trap him with heavy state affairs so that he will no longer have other thoughts about this or that.

A good emperor should stay in the palace and handle government affairs like the previous emperor. There is no need to have other ideas.

They moved very quickly, and dozens of elderly people walked quickly. Under the leadership of Wang Yue, the leader, they soon arrived outside Zhu Houzhao's palace.

"I will ask your Majesty to work diligently!"

"I will ask Your Majesty to kill Liu Jin!"

With a crash, everyone suddenly fell to their knees.

In the bedroom, not long after Zhu Houzhao fell asleep, he was awakened by the messy noise outside.

"what's the situation?"

"What are you yelling at outside again?" Zhu Houzhao was woken up and felt a little confused. He didn't do anything.

"Your Majesty! It's not good. The Chief Assistant and the others don't know what they did. They knelt down outside. Please be diligent and deal with Liu Jin."

Eunuch Zhang Yong rushed in hurriedly, with a mournful expression on his face: "Young man can't stop them."

The heart is tired, destroy it.

Zhu Houzhao got angry for no reason and felt hopeless. He couldn't remember how many times he was forced to the door by these civil servants.

"They can kneel down if they want!"

"in spite of!"

As soon as the quilt was covered, Zhu Houzhao simply showed that he was not afraid of being scalded by boiling water. He had already mastered the skills of non-violence and non-cooperation without any teacher.

Zhang Yong was stunned for a moment, and then his scalp became numb.

He had to stand up and carefully close the door.

"My lords, Your Majesty worked hard until dawn last night and is now resting. Now you have disturbed His Majesty to go to bed."

Zhang Yong gritted his teeth and looked at the menacing civil servants.

"I ask your Majesty to work diligently!"

"You gelding, get out of here!"

However, the ministers who were in a mood did not care. Especially Zhang Yong, who was one of the Eight Tigers around Zhu Houzhao, became even more embarrassed and continued to ask for orders.

Zhang Yong is also used to it. He can only guard the door firmly and is used to confronting ministers.

I was also glad that these ministers at least had a little sense of awe and would never dare to rush into Zhu Houzhao's palace.

Zhu Houzhao is on the bed...

I couldn't sleep at all, but I didn't want to see these faces even more, so I just spent time with them.

"If Taizu were still alive, or if Taizong and the others were still alive, would these officials dare to do this?"

"Do they really think I don't dare to kill them?"

He thought about the emperor's chat group again and the emperors of the Zhu family. This would never happen in the Hongwu Dynasty or Yongle Dynasty, and those officials would never dare to do it.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di would really kill people.

When did these civil servants become so bold?

Zhu Houzhao also knew the reason, but he still had to blame his resentful great-grandfather Zhu Qizhen. A civil fort not only lost the emperor's power to conquer personally, but also shattered the emperor's majesty and integrity.

There is also Zhu Qiyu, who actually tolerated these officials beating people to death in the main hall.

Then there is his father. In the past eighteen years, he has been really good to these civil servants. He did not punish corruption and bribery, so he allowed these civil servants to take advantage of him.

Zhu Houzhao had murderous intentions more than once, but he could not harden his heart.

Yesterday, he also wanted to deal with the civil servants, so he complained and made up his mind in the Emperor's Temple.

I just didn’t expect that an American imperialist chat group would appear.

But now, Zhu Houzhao's murderous intention is even stronger.

He clearly knew why these officials came to force the palace again, so he revealed a little bit of things to Li Dongyang. Li Dongyang must have sold him again when he changed hands.

But why bother?
He just wanted to check the information about the emperor or the American dynasty in the US emperor chat group, but it was as if he had made a huge mistake and was bitten inexplicably.

How can we manage the Ming Dynasty with these insects?
Zhu Houzhao was extremely irritable...

However, there were more things that made him even more irritated.

Not long after the ministers outside had been arguing, another heavyweight came.

"The Queen Mother has arrived..."

A message from outside directly broke Zhu Houzhao's guard again.

This is the reason why he wants to kill these officials even more. He calls the parents at every turn, which makes him very embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is here..."

Zhang Yong rushed in hurriedly again.

"I heard it...Zhang Yong, please go outside and talk to the Queen Mother. I felt cold yesterday and am very uncomfortable now...I really can't welcome the Queen Mother."

Zhu Houzhao skillfully used the technique of pretending to be sick, and felt exhausted again. It was really tiring.

Because he knew clearly that his mother was from the side of civil servants, and when she came, she would be chanting sutras again.
