In the ninth year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng presided over the national land clearance, and the number of cultivated land in the country that year was more than 7.01 million hectares, and by the middle of Wanli, the largest figure of cultivated land in the country in the Ming Dynasty appeared -- more than 11.61 million hectares. Later, for most of the Ming Dynasty, arable land hovered around four or five million.

And the most terrifying thing is that from the first year of Hongzhi to the seventeenth year, the land in the world has been eight million hectares, and in the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, after the death of Xiaozong, Wuzong ascended the throne, and the cultivated land area of the country immediately dropped to 4.69 million. Even in the same year, there is a difference of 4 million hectares in the area of cultivated land in the whole country, such as the 15th year of Hongzhi, the records of filial piety, Zhengde Huidian and Wanli Huidian recorded 8.35 million, 6.22 million, and 4.22 million respectively?

Why is there an obvious and huge difference in the statistics of cultivated land in the Ming Dynasty, from more than 4 million hectares to more than 8 million hectares, the gap is so huge, it is actually to 4 million hectares! You must know that one hectare in the Ming Dynasty was one hundred acres, four million hectares, that is 40,000 acres of land!

Lian Zining studied archaeology, and has his own views on this, and after returning to this era, he is even more convinced of your own speculation.

Without him, there is only one reason, that is, to let those civil officials who lie on the body of the Ming Dynasty and knock on the bones and suck the marrow are hidden!

Four or five million hectares, this figure is absolutely unreliable, just one piece of land in the south of the Songhua River, there are more than one million hectares of land. I am afraid that there are more than two million outside the entire Guan, but why is there a huge Ming Dynasty, but there are only four or five million hectares?

This is also absolutely impossible in terms of historical evolution.

In the first two years of Emperor Ping of the Western Han Dynasty. The number of cultivated fields in the country is 8.27 million hectares, about 14 acres per capita, in the second year of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Emperor Xingyuan. The cultivated land area of the whole country is 7.32 million hectares, about 14 mu per capita, in the 14th year of Xuanzong Tianbao of the Tang Dynasty, the national cultivated land area is 14.3 million hectares, 21 mu per capita, and in the 5th year of Zhenzong Tianxi of the Northern Song Dynasty, the national cultivated land area is 52.25 million hectares, nearly 23 mu per capita. The Mongols of the Yuan Dynasty emphasized animal husbandry and light farming, and the cultivated land was slightly smaller, about 3.66 million hectares.

The cultivated land of the Ming Dynasty must have a strong inheritance and continuity with the previous generations. According to the 26th year of Hongwu, the population of the 12 political divisions and the two prefectures and counties directly under the government is more than 60 million, 1,000 and 650,000 households, and the average population of each household is 6 people. The army of Hongwu was about 2 million. The number of non-commissioned officers and families is less than 12 million, and the total population of the country in that year is about 72 million, and the per capita cultivated land is about 12 acres.

This per capita number. Too little, that is, from the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there has been a phenomenon of hidden cultivated land. Under the rule of ruthless people such as Emperor Hongwu, they dared to conceal it, let alone the emperors of the following dynasties.

With the vast territory of the Ming Dynasty and the level of cultivation that has been developed and matured, about 11 million hectares, at least it is still relatively reliable.

And with so much land, how much grain can be expropriated?

In the Ming Dynasty, which was almost the most powerful Yongle period, in history, Yongle, had to hand over the pilgrimage, with silk, lacquer, sumu, cuiyu, paper fan, Shen, speed, and rest incense on behalf of the rent. The Li people of Qiongzhou, Guangdong, and the Yao people of Zhaoqing are attached, and the losses are more than those in the mainland. The world's natural tax grain is more than 30 million stones, and silk banknotes are more than 20 million. When it is counted, the universe is rich, endowed with Yingxian, the rice millet has been exported to the Beijing division for millions of stones, and the prefecture and county warehouses have accumulated a lot of money, so that the red rot is inedible. apologizes, and there are companies that often issue Su Zhen loans first, and then smell them.

In other words, more than 30 million stones of grain can be collected in taxes a year.

And the territory under the jurisdiction of the Wu Yi Army is more than 40 million stones this year.

With almost ten times the cultivated land under the jurisdiction of Wu Yijun, the grain collected is only a little more than seventy percent of Wu Yijun's. …,

This is because the Ming Dynasty still has to support tens of thousands of corrupt officials, hundreds of thousands of corrupt officials, although the imperial court only collected 30 million stones, but the corrupt officials at all levels are exploited layer by layer, and what falls on the common people, if it is converted into food, I am afraid that there are 30,000 stones!

It is because the people of the Ming Dynasty, especially the peasants, have a heavy burden.

However, in the territory under the jurisdiction of General Songhuajiang, the relatively small area, the strong rule, the ubiquitous MI6, and the officials with shallow roots have made these intermediate additions all disappear.

And in the entire Ming Dynasty, there is no second one who can have such a strong ability to control the land under his jurisdiction, no one can hide, no one can not pay taxes, and it is completely transparent, except for the Songhua River jurisdiction that has been washed by the Jurchen war and Lian Zining's blade.

Wu Yijun under Lian Zining has achieved complete control, complete transparency, and no corruption. The power of the place is highly concentrated in his hands, and he even knows every acre of land below. These taxes and grains were transported directly from the countryside to Zhenyuan Mansion through the army, without going through any intermediate links. This phenomenon, if we draw an analogy, is more akin to the collective farm economy of the Soviet period.

This is an unrepeatable group that has never been seen before, no one has come after, and it is a land that cannot be replicated.

"Ten thousand and sixty million stones! 40 million stones! I can't believe it! Even Lian Zining was immersed in this number for a long time before he came to his senses, and he smiled slightly: "With these grains, you don't have to worry about anything." ”

Then he asked: "By the way, all the grange land under my name has been handed over for grain?" ”

Lian Zining set the rules, but under his rule, the officials and gentry and the people paid the grain in one piece, completely subverting the civil and official privileges of the Ming Dynasty. It is also very necessary to pay grain in one piece -- which of those officers who started with Lian Zining did not purchase dozens or hundreds of acres of real estate? Most of those local officials have 10,000 acres of fertile land at home, not to mention Lian Zining, who has 2 million acres of land under his name!

Lian Zining is not against land annexation, anyway, there is land in this northeast, as long as you have the ability, you can plant as much as you want! Mergers are OK, but you have to honestly ask the government to count the number of acres and pay taxes honestly.

And if Lian Zi, as the largest landlord, would rather not pay taxes. Then other people must have followed suit, and this body of food has become an empty word.

Hong Chaojiao smiled and said, "The first day of the grain collection has just begun. Mrs. Ayisuli went to count them, and then sent someone to transport the right one of the payments to this place, hehe. Adults are really exemplary! ”

"Ayisuli?" Lian Zining smiled slightly, thinking of the woman who was extremely seductive and seductive, and the romance of that night, her body couldn't help but feel a little hot.

Today, Lian Zining is destined to be unsettled, and he talked to Hong Chaojiao about the dark sky and was about to go to dinner, but he didn't expect Hong Chaojiao to just leave, but Li Tie came.

Lian Zining smiled: "Li Tie." You've delayed my meal, and if there's nothing important at this time, I'll have to punish you!" ”

Li Tie's stiff face moved, and he smiled: "My lord, I came here today, but I have something important." ”

Lian Zining waved his hand: "Speak!" ”

Li Tiedao: "The first thing, my lord, you ordered it before. Scouts were sent to Jiangbei to reconnoiter the terrain, and the task had been assigned, fifty scout teams, two people each. It's all gone. ”

Lian Zining's next stage of action is aimed at the north.

As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved, and now Lian Zining's grain and grass is enough, 40 million stones, I don't know what year and month I have to eat. Those recruits who were stationed in the north of the Songhua River to open up the wasteland and establish county governance, each recruit guard set off with a large amount of grain and grass, and after they settled down, the logistics department would transport a large amount of grain to them. …,

It is not very far to go to the north, hundreds of miles, and it is not difficult to accompany a heavy army, but now for Lian Zining, what is more important is the scout first.

Wu Yijun's MI6 is like the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, the original intention of the establishment of Jinyiwei was not only to supervise the world, but also to detect foreign enemies and spy on intelligence for the war. At the beginning, when Wu Yijun was still limited to Xishenwei, he attacked the separatist forces such as Qileniwei, Kaolang Wuwei, Mangjita City, etc., and MI6 made great contributions, and even rose a group of shrewd and brave backbones like Wang Posan, which can be said to have wiped a lot of ass for Lian Zining, specializing in some shady deeds.

This large-scale military operation, naturally, is indispensable to the figure of MI6, these spies crossed the river to the north, not only to explore the terrain from Zhenyuan Mansion to the White Eagle Gorge, but also from the White Eagle Gorge to the north, to the north, to the northwest, to the northeast, to cover the Jurchen, Wu Yijun, the Russian tripartite forces of the dog-toothed area.

"Fifty teams? A hundred? Lian Zining shook his head: "These people, if there are fewer, let's double the distribution!" He also ordered to use the White Eagle Gorge as a contact point, so that they could send all the information they got to the White Eagle Gorge, and rest in the White Eagle Gorge to receive everything they needed. ”

Li Tie didn't make any questions or suggestions, but said: "Mark it down, and do it!" ”

He added: "The second matter, my lord, according to the information sent back by the spies in the south, two days ago, the emperor Qincha had already arrived in the great city of Zhubang, and I am afraid that it will be ten days or so, and it will be able to arrive." ”

Lian Zining understood what Li Tie meant, he calculated the time, and said: "There is no need to worry, after ten days, when they arrive at Zhenyuan Mansion, I am afraid that no one will see them." ”

"That's right." Lian Zining asked again: "Are you staring at the reply letter from those brocade guards in the south?" ”

"I'm about to tell you!" Li Tie said with a solemn expression: "I've been staring there for a long time, from the outside of the gate to Liaodong, all the Jinyi guards have not moved. My lord, will it? ”

Lian Zining was not worried about this, he waved his hand: "You don't have to worry about this, presumably now that Wang Posan has arrived in the capital, the fish that slipped through the net is to the capital, if he will go to find Jiang Bin in the first time, if Wang Posan moves smoothly, Jiang Bin will be under the trap, but he doesn't dare to do anything to me, don't be afraid of him!" ”

Li Tiezi didn't dare to say more, and after saying a few more words, he said goodbye.

―――――――――― dividing line――――――――

Beijing, Forbidden City, Fengtian Palace.

Above the court, the ministers were already standing in their respective positions, and at a glance, from the front line closest to the throne to the entrance of the main hall where the emperor could not see what color clothes the emperor was wearing, from near to far. They are the first to fourth grade of the scarlet robe, the fifth to seventh grade of the green robe, and the eighth grade and the ninth grade of the green robe.

The colors are orderly and hierarchical.

Just for a moment. These court officials gathered in groups of three or five, talking about something in a whisper.

If it were a normal day, the officials in the court who were specifically responsible for maintaining order would have already begun to reprimand loudly and even directly write down their names. After the dispersal of the dynasty, they settled their accounts and punished, but today, no one is nosy. On the contrary, these officials who are responsible for rectifying work style and discipline are all holding their sleeves and going to the area where the loudest discussion is loud, and everyone wants to hear something new.

What everyone discussed, nothing else, naturally it was the news that the Holy Lord vomited blood and fell into a coma the day before yesterday.

Zhengde wanted to keep it a secret, but that day when the nine important ministers were sent home by the carriage of the imperial horse supervisor. There are already rumors flying all over the city in the capital, not to mention these officials, even those ordinary people know the news. …,

One to two, two to three, the news is getting more and more outrageous, even to the end. It is said that the emperor has died, but the position of the crown prince cannot be determined, and all the princes have sharpened their knives and are ready to start fighting for the throne. Even more has a nose and eyes, mentioning a certain seniority. The prince, who is old and has a strong mother's family, has contacted the army outside Beijing and wants to enter Beijing to rejuvenate the King of Qin! The three major battalions of the Beijing camp and the men of the twenty-sixth guards have already paid their salaries, and they are about to fight a big battle in the capital!

Not to mention, such nonsense that is true and false, but there is a market among the people, what do these small people know? When the three of them really became tigers, not to mention that they were spreading it in the market, they naturally believed it.

Because of these rumors, in the past two days, the price of rice in Beijing has risen by 30%! As soon as the people heard that there was going to be a war, they were afraid that there would be another such thing as after the change of the civil fort in the orthodox years, the Wara army surrounded the capital, and the prices in the capital soared, and the sky-high price of ten taels of silver for a bucket of rice, so they were all rushed to buy in advance! And the profiteers took the opportunity to raise the price of grain, which made a mess!

There are even those who have land and relatives outside the city, but they simply moved out, and in the past two days, the city can be said to have made these rumors a miasma!

Until yesterday, a holy decree came out from the palace, ordering the Jinyi Guard and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to command and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to patrol the city and the imperial history of the three parties to rectify together, and it is strictly forbidden to leave a message. Dongchang's Fanzi and Jinyi Weiti rode out in all directions, searching the capital exhaustively, but in an afternoon, they arrested more than 100 people who spread rumors everywhere, all of them were arrested and put into Jinyiwei Prison for the crime of bewildering the public, it is conceivable that these people entered Jinyiwei Prison, even if they can come out alive, they will lose a layer of old skin.

In this way, they are all honest, the atmosphere of the Beijing division is suppressed, and the prices of rice, flour, grain and oil have also fallen.

These court officials naturally don't believe these rumors, they know more news, and they have something to do with the nine important ministers of the court, so they also learned the exact news, the emperor's illness is not very serious, and his complexion is very good when they meet.

It's just that everyone has thoughts in their hearts, this time the emperor is fine, so what about next time? What about next time?

Today's capital is almost ancient, reigning for more than 50 years, and it is also the second of the first emperor to the present, only inferior to the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but now he is old after all, and his body and bones have never been very good.

Now everyone has a strange mind - it's time to start standing in line, find a master who looks more reliable as soon as possible, and pave the way for future careers. After all, countless cases in history have proved that choosing to stand in line at the time of the transfer of the throne is the most lucrative moment, as long as you stand on the right team, then the new emperor ascends the throne, it is an incomparably graceful treatment, and the promotion of the son to make a fortune is just around the corner!

But they also selectively forgot that once they stood on the wrong team, it would be the consequence of raiding their families and exterminating their families!

Of course, these people are not all, there are some cautious and scheming people, and they have already made up their minds to be honest during this time, no one is attached, no one is refuge, just do their part, anyway, the new emperor level, it must be inseparable from their own people.

There are not a few such people, and they are even more successful in seeking the country.

And they all heard about another incident - the first assistant Yang Shen openly contradicted the emperor in the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, and the emperor who was forced to immediately proclaim the crown prince, and other extremely important ministers also responded. provoked the emperor very displeased, and the two of them were almost about to start such a conflict. In the end, it was the mediation of Lord Lin Jingyi, the third assistant of the cabinet, and this is the end. …,

Jin Shang is not a master to be messed with, and not long after he ascended the throne, he drove away two of the three cabinet ministers left to him by the first emperor. And at this sensitive and critical moment, Lord Shoufu had a conflict with the emperor, how long can he stay in this Shoufu position. What a problem.

Among the courtiers, there are naturally those who gloat, but more of them are sympathetic and indignant, which is already privately connected by many officials, and once the emperor wants to remove Lord Yang, the first assistant, he will immediately oppose it!

It's on the bar with the emperor, anyway, it's not the first time I've done this!

Regardless of whether Yang Shen is behind it or not, this is one thing. It is enough to see Yang Shen's great prestige!

Of course, another thing caused by Lord Shoufu forcing the emperor to appoint a prince is the most discussed topic today - the emperor wants to order the cabinet three assistants, plus six Shangshu and the first prince of the dynasty, to discuss together, and elect ten princes who have reached adulthood and have a good reputation and worthy of virtue, and listen to the government in the court, or even be directly entrusted with official positions. In this way, we can observe the talents, personalities, and morals of each prince, and then decide on the choice of the crown prince.

It's new!

Since Emperor Hongwu founded the country, the Ming Dynasty has been more than 100 years, but there has never been such a thing!

Even the previous dynasties had never heard of such a thing! Since Zhou Qin Han Dao now. Dong Zhongshu of the former Han Dynasty deposed Confucianism in a hundred schools, which dynasty and which generation was not the eldest son of the eldest son?

Even if there is a dispute, it is also when there is a problem with the eldest son of the eldest son - not to mention early death, for example, he is a fool, for example, he is trying to rebel and so on, compared with the eldest son, the other princes are small sects, and the eldest son is a big sect, and the big sect is out of play, so it's your turn to be a small sect!

And now,

But they did not intend to oppose it, the literati of the Ming Dynasty were not actually pedantic, let alone conservative, and the reason why they tried their best to oppose certain things was often because these things offended their interests - for example, the opening of the sea to allow the state and other large common people to engage in maritime trade, so that their small group of people could not monopolize the maritime trade mainly by smuggling, and they vigorously opposed it!

For example, Zheng He went to the West, the country directly carried out maritime trade, made a lot of money, the treasury was extremely full, and all kinds of jewelry and curiosities exchanged for silk and porcelain were piled up, and they were used until the Zhengde Year was not used up, which did not offend the interests of the civil official group, but the country itself made money, but did not share the profits to the civil officials, so it was strongly opposed by the civil officials, and all kinds of slander and dirty water, saying that it was seven trips to the West, working the people and losing money, in fact, the Yongle Emperor at that time was not stupid, If the money spent on seven trips to the West is one cent, then the value of those overseas curiosities in exchange for it will reach ten or even twelve cents!

The price of pepper in the Ming Dynasty dropped sharply, starting from Zheng He's seven trips to the West.

As soon as Emperor Yongle died, Zhu Gaochi, who was trained by the civil officials, ascended the throne, and abolished the Western Ocean, and in the Zhengde year, Liu Daxia, the early secretary of the military department, burned the nautical charts and the design drawings for building treasure ships that Zheng He had worked hard to draw in the Western Ocean. Not only that, but they also slandered the seven trips to the West in the history books, so that future generations still thought that going to the West was a waste of money and labor.

There are countless cases of this, such as the collection of commercial taxes, the clarification of the land in the world, and the payment of grain by officials, gentlemen and people...... Too much, too much.

But if there is a conflict of interest with them, it must be desperately opposed, if the emperor insists, then scold, scold him to death, and he can't raise his head in the history books!

However, the matter of the prince listening to the government did not infringe on their interests, so these civil officials were too lazy to care, and this was equivalent to the result of a compromise between the emperor and the civil leaders, and it was not so easy for them to oppose it. …,

Besides, there are so many princes today, and if they don't use this method, they really can't think of a way to elect a qualified prince.

The eldest son? Forget it! How many fights have civil officials fought with the emperor over the years for this matter?

It's not that I don't want to support the eldest son as the crown prince, but I really can't help it.

If I could, wouldn't I have done it sooner?

The decisive factor why the civil officials would give in on this matter was the powerful emperor Zhengde!

To put it bluntly, this is an imperial family matter. The courtiers are involved, and they will be killed! Over the years, because of this incident, he was implicated and sent to prison by Jinyiwei, and finally died and his family was destroyed. Even the officials who exterminated the three clans, but there were not a few, so these officials didn't want to be too deeply involved.

This. Yang Shen is very smart, he proposed to make a prince immediately, but he didn't say who he wanted to appoint, but handed this over to Zhengde to choose, and anyone can be appointed, as long as there is a prince.

So although Emperor Zhengde was very annoyed with him at that time, but in hindsight, the anger in his heart was much smoother.

This is the court. Those who are one and two are not there, so there is no one to restrain them, and it is noisy.

Among the few six-part ministers, they only have seven grades, and they are almost the smallest officials above the court, although the authority is very heavy. But the grade is placed here, and the station order above the Ming Dynasty Hall is according to the order of the high and low grades, and the high grade is the closest to the throne. The lowest grade had to stand at the door of the temple.

It's already late autumn and it's almost winter, and the winter in Beijing is not easy, not to mention that the Ming Dynasty is just catching up with the most unlucky Xiaoice period, which is even colder than now.

At this time, the door of the palace was open, and the cold wind was swishing into it, although he had been an official for so many years, and clothes had been added to the court clothes, and cotton pads had been added to the crooks of the knees and elbows.

In the middle of the matter, the first place in the second class in the forty-ninth year of Zhengde, which is also commonly known as the Huang Xian Huang Lord, snorted the snot that flowed out of his nose at this time, and wiped it with his sleeve while others were not paying attention, this Huang Lord, who was as rich as jade, was also so cold that he couldn't stand it at this time, he scolded in his heart, looked outside, and his body was shocked, so he quickly turned around and whispered: "Stop arguing, the adults are coming!" ”

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly looked out, and saw that outside the palace gate, headed by Yang Shen, more than 20 first-grade and second-grade civil and military generals, plus some princes and nobles, also walked slowly to this side according to their grades.

These adults are dressed very solemnly, Yang Shen is wearing a five-inch big red official uniform, wearing a black handkerchief with a length of one foot and two inches on his head, a first-grade jade belt hanging from his waist, soap boots on his feet, an ivory board in his hand, and a straight waist board walking in the front. Look at those princes and uncles, they are all wearing seven-beam crowns, eight-beam crowns, and wearing official clothes, which is very solemn.

Seeing them, these officials immediately reacted, and they were afraid that something big would happen at the court meeting today.

A group of adults walked into the court, and the chaotic atmosphere in the court was suddenly cleared, everyone kept their mouths shut, and the team was much neater.

These officials all entered the Forbidden City in advance, and came less than four days ago, and went to the imperial study to discuss the candidates for the ten princes who listened to the government in front of the emperor, but they didn't expect that they thought it would be very smooth, but it was full of twists and turns. Which of these big people is not implicated? Naturally, they all have their own selfish intentions, and not all of them speak fairly. Moreover, the emperor invited them to discuss and listen to the news of the election of the prince and the prince of the government, and it was already worn out, and those princes who were adults in Beijing and thought they had some hope were all alive and active, so they took advantage of the interval in the middle, and they didn't know how much work they had done. …,

Therefore, in the process of discussion, they simply expressed their opinions, and the arguments were extremely intense, and everyone supported them, and they quarreled like this for a whole morning, and they did not come up with a reason. Zhengde also understood it in the end, and his liver was furious, and he was furious, and he reprimanded these big men severely, and then asked them to go back and think about it again.

The adults were reprimanded, and they were in a bad mood, and they all had gloomy faces and didn't say a word.

When the adults stood back in their positions, the court was quiet, and everyone had their own plans in their hearts, but they didn't say anything.

After a while, a sharp cry came: "The emperor has arrived!" ”

Then Emperor Zhengde turned out of the apse surrounded by a group of daughters of the Inner Supervision Palace.

Hundreds of officials knelt down to greet the emperor, greeted him, got up without courtesy, and saw the figure standing on the side of the imperial platform was full of suspicions - the white and pure eunuch on the side of the imperial platform, everyone knew him, how could it be Liu Jixiang?

It stands to reason that when the emperor went to court, the one standing next to him should always be the celebrant eunuch, why is Liu Jixiang, the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch, standing, this is not in accordance with the rules?

But it turned out that Emperor Zhengde vomited blood and fell into a coma that day, and Liu Jixiang was very petty and pleasing to serve beside him, which also made Zhengde quite pleased, so he did not let him go to the imperial horse prison to watch in the past few days, but stayed in the palace to wait. Today, he brought him to the court, which was a very glorious thing for a eunuch who did not evacuate the celebrant and eunuch, and now there are rumors in the palace.

Liu Jixiang and Liu Gonggong are now favored, I am afraid that Lin Xiongqi will be topped, such as the celebrant supervisor, I heard that the emperor will hand over the East Factory to him to take charge!

In the past few days, the news in the palace has been bad, Liu Jixiang is proud, they are eunuchs, they are rampant, and they can't hide anything, and now they are full of red light.

The courtiers looked at the throne again, and they let out a long sigh in their hearts, although the emperor's face was gloomy, his face was not ugly, indicating that the disease was indeed not serious.

Of course, there are also those who are looking forward to Zhengde going quickly, and they are naturally extremely disappointed in their hearts.

Zhengde's dress today is also very grand, wearing a crown on his head, and the bead curtain composed of twelve colored beads symbolizing the Son of Heaven is slightly tinkling with his movements

This kind of crown is the most formal attire of the emperor, and it is generally only worn during the worship of heaven and earth, the temple, the New Year's Day, the winter solstice, and the holy festival.

On his body, he was wearing a black gown - the sun and the moon were on his shoulders, the stars and mountains were behind, and the dragons were on his sleeves, which was extremely majestic, and the emperor's style was undoubtedly revealed.

Zhengde quietly looked down for a moment, then waved his hand, Liu Jixiang understood, and said in a sharp voice: "The holy dragon is slightly ill, and he will not discuss matters today, but only preach the three holy decrees!" Rank the ministers, kneel down to welcome the holy decree! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
