Knock, knock, knock......

The New Year's bell rings, marking that Zhu Gaochi has been the emperor for fifteen years...... The big fat man is tired, not to mention that he said that he can't surpass the emperor, so Zhu Gaochi is ready to give up the throne this year and do something he likes.

In fact, he never thought that he would be in office for so long...... But once many things begin, you can't let go.

For example, the construction of a railway to the Western Regions is not a lucrative line, at least not yet.

Without the impetus of a powerful force, it is easy to give up halfway.

Once this road is repaired, it will take 12 years!

It took two and a half years to plan and invest 200 million yuan.

The manpower mobilized before and after was 2 million.

Compared with this huge project, the Great Wall and the Grand Canal seem much more subtle.

With such a big investment, it is obvious that Zhu Gaochi will not be satisfied with repairing to the Western Regions, this railway passes through the Western Regions Pass, leads to Broken Leaf City, and continues to the west, if you have to choose a destination, Zhu Gaochi puts the goal in Calais Port.

Of course, this is the mission of the Son of Heaven next, and his mission has been completed.

More than Talas, better than Datang.

Zhu Gaochi was satisfied, at least he could explain to his father and master...... Zhu Di in front of him is already over the age of old, not only in terms of merit, he is better than Lao Zhu, but even his life span is exceeded, which is really surprising.

Zhu Gaochi was very curious and wanted to explore the reason for his father's longevity, after all, according to reason, Zhu Di is so vigorous, and he is good at wine and meat, it makes no sense that he can live a long time!

Zhu Gaochi was full of cranky thoughts, and when he turned his head and thought about Da Ming's side, it seemed that there were still a lot of things to worry about.

In the more than ten years that he has been the emperor, the authority of the cabinet has continued to expand, and the cabinet elders are no different from the prime ministers.

What's even worse is that the financial power and personnel power they hold far exceed that of any ruler in the past.

Take the fourteenth year of Hongxi as an example, the financial revenue of the Ming Dynasty has reached a terrifying three billion. If it weren't for such abundant financial resources, he would not dare to build a railway to the Western Regions, and the huge project would burn like money.

Every kilometer, every sleeper, is not out of thin air.

Materials are needed, processing is required, transportation, installation is required...... Can it be done without spending money?

Zhu Gaochi is sure that even if the emperor's grandfather is alive, he is busy from morning to night, and does not rest all year round, and he will not want to complete one-tenth of the government affairs.

At this point, even if it is for the sake of a small life, you have to share power with your courtiers.

"Junki, this throne is yours...... There is not much to say as a father, I don't ask you to do anything, it is enough to be able to protect the country and be a king...... By the way, do you still like fighting crickets? ”

Zhu Zhanji's black face turned red when he was said.

"Father, the child only plays occasionally, and is not obsessed at all. What kind of fighting crickets, I also like horseback riding, archery, polo...... These fathers know it! ”

Zhu Gaozhi glanced at him, "I know what it works for!" The question is what outsiders think of you! ”

At the mention of this, Zhu Zhanji immediately wilted.

Indeed, there are many folk legends, all of which are talking about him, saying that he is obsessed with fighting crickets, does not do his job, does not learn and has no skills, and also says that he is a tiger father and a dog son, and has lived up to the prestige of his ancestors.

Some people even made up stories about how to fight crickets, the country was ruined, and Zhu Zhanji also heard about it, and he was so angry that he almost dropped all the cricket jars.

As for it? As for it?

"That's the power of people, first put a label on you, make people think you're a waste, and then whatever you want to do, it's all nonsense, and it's much easier to stop your decree."

Zhu Gaochi's tone was quiet, and he made the key clear.

Zhu Zhanji gritted his teeth in anger, "Father, the child understands that he must be severely punished and merciless!" ”

He was murderous, but Zhu Gaochi didn't agree at all, and sighed softly, "The common people often say that they are not stupid, they are not deaf, and they are not in charge." To speak to you for the Father's sake, so that you may understand in your heart. ”

Zhu Gaochi paced back and forth in the dormitory with his hands behind his back.

"This Ming Dynasty was established by the emperor's grandfather, so he can kill decisively, and if anyone is not pleasing to the eye, he will destroy the nine clans. Fortunately, both the master and the father are extremely smart people, they did not fight to the death like most monarchs and ministers throughout the ages, but worked together to promote the reform of the Ming Dynasty. So when they join forces, they can also be like the emperor's grandfather, and they can make drastic moves.

But when I get to my father, I can't do it, although I inherited the mantle of the two of them, I can only barely restrain it, and it is becoming more and more uncontrollable. When you are here, you just need to know in your heart, how much you can control, and how many people are willing to listen to you, only God knows. So, for you, if you can endure it, you can let it, and you can make it happy. ”

Zhu Zhanji is stupid!

It's no wonder you're happy to do that!

Zhu Zhanji didn't bother to talk nonsense with his father, he just said in a muffled voice: "Father's holy teachings, sons and daughters remember, but sons don't know, if it is in the future, what sons should say to their descendants!" ”

Yes, Zhu Zhanji is going to be a garbage can, can he be more humble?

Zhu Gaochi scratched his head and rolled his eyes, "Inside...... It's the same whether you say it or not, whatever! ”

After the big fat man finished speaking, he patted his ass and went straight to the harem, he should pack his bags and get ready to go...... I really want to see what the master has done over there, but don't be a poisonous fruit!

Dad has been gone for a long time, Zhu Zhanji wanted to break his head, and suddenly understood, could it be that since himself, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has become an ornament?

If you want to toss and don't have the ability?

How does this work?

Qiangang is arbitrary, and his mouth is Tianxian?

Our old Zhu family can't admit defeat!

Zhu Zhanji gritted his teeth, he must fight with fate!

……

On the other side, the Cabinet is holding a meeting, and they are discussing only one issue, and that is the expansion of the Cabinet.

Among the many officials, Yu Qian, the new Hanlin bachelor, is particularly eye-catching.

This descendant disciple of Taishi Liu did not be as low-key and humble as many people thought, and he was honest and hopeful, on the contrary, he was aggressive everywhere.

In recent years, he has disposed of no less than hundreds of corrupt officials, and there are countless more small officials with him. Therefore, Yu Qian also got the nickname "Guan Tu".

Xu was afraid of being killed, and the big guy thought of a way to send this kid to Hanlin Academy.

The Hanlin Bachelor has a respected status and is a veritable prime minister, but he doesn't care about specific things, so he just settles down in Yu Qian and lets him stop for a few years.

For this reason, they also lost the History Museum to Yu Qian and put him in charge of repairing the Yuan History.

But no one expected that within two years of Yu Qian's takeover, Yuan Shi would be repaired. Not only was the Yuan history repaired, but Yu Qian also revised a set of Mongolian history.

Everyone knows that the purpose of revising history is to learn from history and face the future...... Yu Qian took the opportunity of revising history to integrate his own ideas, to be precise, many of Liu Chun's views.

He used the decay of the Northern Song Dynasty to solve the problem, and explained the reality of the decline in the morale of the entire Han family since the Anshi Rebellion.

Not only was this the case in the Northern Song Dynasty, but the Jin State, which destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, also fell into more serious infighting after inheriting this set of things.

Nowhere is this more evident than in Mongolia.

The original Mongol army swept the world, and the territory was prosperous, crowning the previous dynasties...... After the Central Plains were settled, the Mongol magnates rapidly declined.

They were not only corrupt, but also had serious internal strife, several khanates, attacking each other, and the golden family fell apart. The vast empire has been shattered into countless pieces......

Yu Qian believes that in the final analysis, this is the upper group of the country, and there is a disease. Covetous of comfort, not enterprising, selfish, only concerned about their own interests.

In my mind, the order of the world and the country has become the family and the country, that is, to be satisfied with oneself, family, relatives and friends, and the township party first...... The country and the world are left behind.

In all dynasties, there have been this problem, such as the gate valve of the Wei and Jin dynasties, such as the Guanlong Group, such as the Bachelor of Science...... And this disease is so stubborn and terrible.

If you want to solve it, you can only repair it both inside and outside.

Internally, it is necessary to straighten out the entire bureaucracy, remove garbage, and always keep the world in mind and care for the people's livelihood...... What about the outside world? There must be reference, there must be competition, there must be communication, continuous corroboration, and repair defects.

Obviously, Liu Chun chose to conquer the Americas, and the Emperor Taishang retired overseas, hoping to develop overseas and make a valuable sample for reference.

By repairing history, Yu Qian expressed his views and plates.

More importantly, internally, he advocated expanding the cabinet membership and breaking the monopoly of the Hanlin ministers on the cabinet.

Yang Tinghe, Yang Pu, Yang Rong, Hu Guang, Jin Youzi, you are all too old, your knowledge is too simple, your experience is not enough, your courage is insufficient, and it is already very difficult to dominate the Ming Dynasty.

New forces must be introduced!

is really worthy of Liu Chun's apprentice, like his master, he will tear down the bridge when he crosses the river, and he is never polite.

Are you really afraid of you?

Little cub, your master has been gone for so many years, no one can protect you, dare to provoke us, you are doomed!

A little Hanlin bachelor dares to argue with us, it's really deceitful!

Just when these scholars wanted to be full of confidence and torture rookies, a few people broke their illusions...... Zhu Yong, Zhang Mao, Feng Xiu, the three small army leaders, rushed in a rage.

Needless to say, Zhu Yong has been fighting for decades, and he is the number one of the new generation of generals.

Zhang Mao almost meant, he was Zhang Fu's son, he could have inherited the title and be a comfortable second-generation son-in-law, but this kid was unwilling to sit back and enjoy his success, and when he heard that there was a rebellion in Tianzhu, he went incognito and went to the war.

After dozens of battles, he defeated hundreds of thousands of princely state armies and captured more than 100 princes!

After becoming famous in World War I, he marched north to help defend the construction of the railroad and defeat the raids of the nomadic cavalry...... He alone defeated more than a million slaughtered enemies.

Completely killing gods!

Compared to him, Feng Xiu is much gentler, he is Feng Sheng's grandson, and later studied in the Royal Martial Arts, and is Lan Yu's protégé, but it is a pity that this kid's grades are mediocre, there is nothing outstanding, and he even suspects that he has insulted his ancestors.

It's just that no one expected that he would be transferred to the Americas by chance to do military exchanges.

As a result, this kid swept through the Inca Empire with only five hundred people, and put millions of square kilometers of land into Liu Chun's control.

To this day, no one knows how this kid did it.

Their appearance made everyone smell something strange, including several elders, all of whom had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, Yu Qian proposed that the first step in reforming the cabinet is to increase the right to speak in the military, and at least one general should be introduced to participate in cabinet discussions and have the right to speak.

Zhu Yong is proud of his golden knife, he is not mistaken, his junior brother is amazing!

Zhu Gaochi abdicated, and the remaining Zhu Zhanji is just their nephews, although in terms of age, he is about the same as Yu Qian, but a child is a child!

Take a look at him, even if we lose!

……

"Dad, I seem to have lost the country."

Zhu Gaochi crossed the ocean, and after arriving at the destination, the first thing he said was to ask his father for guilt.

Zhu Di is also old, and his temper is gone, he didn't get angry, but pulled up his son, and said seriously: "It's okay, if you lose the country, let's snatch your master's fief and let him work hard in vain." Zhu Di smiled and said: "This piece is good, as long as you settle a few big families, you can put your master in the air, it's very easy!" I'm almost done planning for my father, and I'm waiting for you to carry it out......"

The big fat man is still very honest, "Dad, we still have to talk about some affection, the world, the best in the world!" Hahaha! ”
