Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 32 The Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

When Zhu Houzhao returned to the palace, Zhu Youtang was busy in Qianqing Palace. Standing behind Zhu Youtang was an old eunuch who served him. Although he was a little old, he was still in good health. Yang Peng, the father of the factory.Although Dongchang has gathered its minions now, and the low-key can't be low-key, but no one dares to underestimate such a yamen.

Yang Peng was also smiling. His fat body looked like a kind old man. If he became a monk, he might be more like a well-educated eminent monk, but this one still keeps many people at a respectful distance.

The power of eunuchs is the continuation of imperial power. Emperor Hongzhi knew this very well, so although Emperor Hongzhi Zhu Youtang was benevolent, he did not lack his own political wisdom.When Emperor Hongzhi first came to the throne, the civil servants once wrote a letter, wanting Emperor Hongzhi Zhu Youtang to get rid of Dongchang at no cost, but the emperor didn't pay attention to this at all, and just let Dongchang Jinyiwei act in a low-key manner. .

Putting down the test book in his hand, he picked up the teacup and took a breath. As the warm tea entered his throat, Zhu Youtang breathed a sigh of relief, and put the teacup in his hand on the table again. Then Zhu Youtang turned his head to look at Asked Yang Peng: "How is the prince?"

"Return to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness has already returned to the palace!" Yang Peng bowed quickly and said, of course, it was Emperor Hongzhi Zhu Youtang who asked him to pay attention to Zhu Houzhao's itinerary, otherwise Yang Peng would not dare to stare at Zhu Houzhao .

Zhu Youtang nodded, and seeing Yang Peng hesitated to speak, he shook his head with a smile and said, "Just say what you have to say, why bother to stammer and put on a gesture!"

For Zhu Youtang's laughing and scolding, Yang Peng seemed to be quite useful, and Yang Peng didn't dare to neglect, so he quickly told what happened today. Following Yang Peng's narration, Zhu Youtang's face became more and more ugly. Can helplessly sigh.Zhu Youtang knew very well about the situation in the Ming Dynasty. In history, Zhu Youtang wanted to implement the New Deal and reform the court.

It's a pity that Zhu Youtang's body is not strong enough to support him to complete this great cause, and he died before it even started.

Hearing what his son did later, Zhu Youtang's expression softened a lot, and then he laughed, and then he laughed freely.

Zhu Youtang was really satisfied with what his son Zhu Houzhao did. He didn't say a word, blamed him, or questioned him. He didn't show any anger, but the anger was very obvious.Zhu Houzhao's actions are tantamount to slapping everyone in the face. You are not as good as a ten-year-old child. It is shameful, really shameful. The key is that this child is still the heir apparent of Ming Dynasty.

Under such circumstances, if you don't come up with an explanation, I'm afraid this matter will be difficult, how could Zhu Youtang feel unhappy.

Of course, what makes Zhu Youtang more happy is not this, but the force displayed by his son. Not to mention other things, his body alone is stronger than himself, and his own ideas can be inherited by his son, such as the New Deal, such as ZTE Daming, when the time comes, he himself will be the master of ZTE for both father and son.Thinking of this, Zhu Youtang's mood is even better, there are successors!
Of course Zhu Houzhao didn't know what his father was thinking, he was still very unhappy in his heart at this time, so he simply walked around the palace with a mournful face.

Although it was a stroll, Zhu Houzhao was actually thinking of a way. Daming's army could not do it like this. At first, Zhu Houzhao thought that at least Ming's army would have no problem fighting in the local area, but now it seems that it is bullshit.I need the strength of the army, I need a strong guard force, I can't count on the current army, I need to rely on myself, I need to find a way by myself.

"Your Highness, we've arrived at Kunning Palace!" When Zhu Houzhao was thinking about it but couldn't think of a good solution, Liu Jin who was behind Zhu Houzhao spoke first.

Zhu Houzhao was taken aback for a moment, looked around, and found that he had really arrived at Kunning Palace. Now that he was here, he had to go in and have a look!Without the slightest hesitation, Zhu Houzhao stepped in and waved his hands to signal the maids and eunuchs to retreat. When Zhu Houzhao arrived at Kunning Palace, naturally he didn't need any communication, so he walked in swaggeringly all the way.

It's just that Zhu Houzhao didn't expect his mother to have guests here. He took a look at Zhu Houzhao and knew that the visitor was his uncle Zhang Heling, and the current knighthood was Shouninghou.

His own mother was from Xingji, Hebei, and his father was the supervisor of the son of the state, Zhang Luan. Zhu Houzhao knew this, because he loved the queen's mother very much, and did not have concubines. They lived together in the emperor's palace, like a folk couple.Because of Empress Zhang, Xiaozong treated his relatives preferentially. He named his father-in-law Zhang Luan the Duke of Chang, his wife and brother Zhang Heling the Marquis of Shouning, and Zhang Yanling the Marquis of Jianchang.The queen's status is so stable that no one can shake it, so the Zhang family's status will naturally rise.

Under such circumstances, his two uncles really walked with their heads held high, and no one looked down on them, but Zhu Houzhao also knew that they were at most making money and living extravagantly.

They can't participate in the government, let alone harm the country, and they have a lot of dirty water on them, mainly because they rewarded the emperor. In history, they died without children. My mother and chief assistant Yang Ting and Zhu Houcong, the son of Prince Lixing, made a new plan. Jun, that is, Emperor Jiajing, triggered a fierce debate about the title.After Jiajing's victory, he retaliated against Empress Dowager Zhang and killed his younger brother under pretext.

During this process, splashing dirty water is definitely indispensable. My two uncles are not that bad, nor are they that bad, but just like ordinary relatives, the poor suddenly become rich, and they are eager to make money.

Listening to the conversation inside, Zhu Houzhao knew that these two came to cry for poverty again, Zhu Houzhao shook his head helplessly, not to mention their salaries and fields, just the rewards from the palace every year, there would be a lot of them. Individuals are still crying poor.Zhu Houzhao didn't know whether they were really poor or fake poor, and he didn't know where all the money was spent. They were simply prodigal sons.

Zhu Houzhao frowned after listening for a while. His uncle actually wanted to attack the salt class, which reminded Zhu Houzhao of one thing.

Daming's salt method seemed to be broken at this time, and it was his uncle who broke it. This made Zhu Houzhao have to take it seriously, and even forgot about the school grounds.

After listening to it for a while, Zhu Houzhao understood that a salt merchant went to Zhang Heling to beg, and wanted to exempt Changlu from paying 17 yuan of salt.To put it bluntly, it is a salt tax.In this era, the salt tax is definitely an important source of Ming's finances. Zhu Houzhao became popular when he heard it. The profit of salt is so high, you don't even want to pay the tax.

Of course, another thing Zhu Houzhao thought of was Nayin Kaizhong, a policy that broke Ming Dynasty, and a policy that was not bad at first.
