    It is not a bad thing for the emperor to personally conquer. Originally, the ministers did not have much objection. Hundreds of years ago, Taizu Hongwu and Emperor Yongle personally conquered many times. They defeated the remnants of the Mongols in the Northern Yuan Dynasty and retreated again and again. They were like bereaved dogs. The national prestige of the Ming Dynasty  For a time, it was comparable to the heyday of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Countless barbarian neighboring countries came to the dynasty and respected the Ming Dynasty as the suzerain state. Most of these achievements were achieved by Taizu and Emperor Yongle personally.

    "However, today the ministers are so opposed to Zhu Houzhao's personal expedition. Naturally, there are reasons. Emperor Taizu and Emperor Yongle can do this, but you, Emperor Zhengde, cannot.

    It¡¯s just because decades ago, there was an unreliable emperor named Yingzong in the Zhu family royal family.

    This emperor was actually a very elegant, graceful and eloquent emperor. He read a lot of books and did a lot of practical things. Logically speaking, he should not be used as a negative example by the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty. It is a pity that the Yingzong Emperor has deep feelings in his heart.  His blood is too enthusiastic and unrestrained, and he trusts the people around him too much. Once he trusts him, he will dig deep into his heart, just like when Zhu Houzhao doted on Liu Jin.

    The person who was favored by Ying Zong had a surname of Wang and a name of Zhen. He was regarded as Liu Jin¡¯s predecessor. Liu Jin inherited a series of bad habits from Wang Zhen, such as manipulating power and disrupting government, killing loyal people, collecting money and extorting bribes, etc.

    With great power, people naturally have ideals and pursuits. Although the eunuchs are disabled, they are still very inspiring. Wang Zhen, who has great power, wants to do something big so that he can be like Zheng He and Eunuch Zheng.  The same will last forever.

    So Wang Zhen deceived Yingzong like a pyramid scheme scammer, and advocated that Yingzong would follow the example of Hongwu and Yongle Emperors and lead a personal expedition, and achieve great achievements that surpassed his ancestors.

    Under the elegant and quiet appearance of Yingzong, there is a soul that is very happy for success. The two hit it off immediately, so they sent 500,000 troops to the north and went out with great fanfare to fight against Wala.

    The final result is known to everyone. Half a million soldiers were completely defeated, countless famous generals of the Ming Dynasty died in the battle, and even Yingzong was captured alive. This battle left the most shameful page of the Ming Dynasty in the history books.

    The civil war has become a pain in the hearts of the Ming emperor and civil servants. This is the biggest reason why ministers today unanimously oppose Zhu Houzhao's personal expedition.

    Zhu Houzhao's heart was full of helplessness. He had no choice but to face such an unsatisfactory grandfather. Even Zhu Houzhao himself couldn't help but want to call him "foolish king".

    Fortunately, Zhu Houzhao felt that he was better than Yingzong because he had a loyal minister who could share his worries.

    After Qin Kan explained the reasons for the emperor's personal expedition, no one in the palace made a sound.

    Qin Kan's words are not easy to refute, because he brought out Taizu and Emperor Yongle, and also brought out the emperor's integrity in guarding the country, which the civil servants talk about every day, and even said bluntly that His Majesty is not a baby  These words can be said to be traps everywhere. Civil servants have been fighting in court for their entire lives, how could they not hear them?

    The whole hall was silent, and no one wanted to come out to argue with Qin Kan at this time. The censor of the right capital, Tu Ting, was so angry that he walked back to the court in anger, putting on a arrogant face of "I'm too lazy to argue with you."

    Zhu Houzhao saw that Qin Kan's words had the upper hand. How could he not understand the principle of striking while the iron is hot?

    So while the whole hall was silent, Zhu Houzhao stood up and said loudly: "Rebellion against the king will bring ruin to the lives of the people. I personally went on the expedition to boost the morale of the soldiers who counter-rebellion, and to urge the military officers and officials below to quickly put down the rebellion, so that the people and lives will be spared a few days."  The war is raging, and many people in the world have lost their wives and families. I dare to ask you, where have I gone wrong? Where have I been stupid? Let me sit peacefully in the capital and enjoy the rich food and clothing, and feel that I have suffered a lot.  The people of Jiangxi are crying and screaming like nothing, how can such an emperor be qualified to rule the world?"

    Qin Kan stood up again to add insult to injury: "Your Majesty left the capital not only for the purpose of personally conducting the expedition, but also to see the customs and customs along the way from the capital to Jiangxi, to assess the reputation of local officials among the people, to understand the sufferings of the people, and to improve things in the future.  People's livelihood, I would like to ask all my colleagues, why are you so fiercely and eagerly blocking His Majesty's inspection tour in Beijing? The local government gives heavy gifts to colleagues in Beijing every year, is it just to silence you and prevent you from stopping His Majesty's inspection?  Are you allowed to leave the capital? Is there anything in the place that must be covered so that His Majesty cannot see it?"

    These words were extremely heart-wrenching, and the faces of the ministers in the palace became uglier than the last.

    Which official in Beijing doesn¡¯t accept gifts?  Every year when local officials go to Beijing to report on their duties, they always visit officials from the six ministries and nine ministers of the capital. I don¡¯t know how many gold and silver maids entered the officials¡¯ mansions late at night. This has become a common practice for the officials in the capital. It is not surprising, including Li Dongyang and Liang Chu.  The two cabinet bachelors also accepted an unknown amount of money with a smile. Yang Tinghe was more courageous. He even dared to accept gifts from the vassal king.

    When Qin Kan said these words, all the ministers felt guilty.After entering the city, he was like a wild beast that had lost its mind. Even Zhu Chenhao did not dare to violate the morale of the army for fear of triggering a mutiny, so he had no choice but to acquiesce to the rebels and loot the city for five days, until not a single one of them in Ji'an Prefecture could do anything.  After all the iron pots for rice were looted, Zhu Chenhao ordered to continue northward to Jiujiang Prefecture.

    The three lines of defense that the imperial court expected were Ji'an, Jiujiang, and Anqing. The first line of defense, Ji'an, has been broken. The situation is becoming more and more critical. All the eyes of the world are focused on Jiujiang Mansion, on the unkempt but well-read poetry and books.  On the body of Wang Shouren, the governor of Ting and Ganxi.

    The emperor's personal expedition cannot be done as casually as Tang Yin did. Many rituals and honors are very cumbersome. According to the etiquette system, Zhu Houzhao even had to go to the Ancestral Temple to fast for three days to pay homage to his ancestors. However, the military situation was urgent, and this was in Zhu Houzhao's  Under strong opposition, the ministers had to give up.

    The Ningguo Duke's mansion was in a state of chaos. The two wives and concubines of the Qin family stood in the front hall and pointed at the maids. It was not a trivial matter for the father-in-law to go on an expedition with the emperor. The father-in-law at home was always used to using things, even the purple sand that Qin Kan often carried in his hand.  The teapot, the flower carvings that I like to drink, the exquisite pastries that my father-in-law usually eats a few more times when he is free, and clothes of various colors and seasons, etc., were all sorted and moved onto the carriage.

    In the huge palace of the Duke, the busy atmosphere is filled with a touch of separation, which makes people feel extremely melancholy.

    Qin Kan didn't care how many things Du Yan and Jin Liu had moved for him. He was holding his daughter Qin Le and sitting in the inner courtyard room. A fragrantly braised chicken drumstick was placed on the table. Qin Kan carefully tore it off from the drumstick.  A piece of soft chicken was carefully fed into Qin Le's mouth. Qin Le, who only had a few deciduous teeth, chewed the chicken hard and swallowed it. His delicate pink face showed a satisfied smile.  He pointed his little finger at the chicken leg and mumbled something in a language that no one could understand.

    Qin Kan was so happy that he tore off another piece of chicken and dangled it in his hand: "My dear girl, open your mouth and let daddy see how many teeth you have. Open it and feed you once. Come on"

    Du Hong, the father-in-law, was sitting across from Qin Kan in casual clothes. Seeing Qin Kan teasing his daughter, he couldn't help but sigh: "What a good little girl, if I fall into your hands, it will be like feeding a dog. Do you think I can be such a father?"  ?¡±

    Qin Kan handed Qin Le to Du Hong and said with a smile: "Although he is not born to Yan'er, he is still your son-in-law's flesh and blood after all. My father-in-law hugs me, he is very cute"

    Du Hong hurriedly hugged Qin Le, as cautiously as if he had picked up a hot potato in his hand, and gently teased Qin Le's chin, making Qin Le giggle. Du Hong's old face, which was trying to maintain dignity, gradually melted.  The lines on the face are much softer.

    "You have a peculiar temperament. Other wealthy officials and wealthy families despise their daughters as much as anything, but you treat her as a treasure in your hand and wish you could hold her in your mouth all the time" Du Hongruo looked at her thoughtfully.  Qin Kan glanced at it and said: "If Yan'er gives birth to a daughter in the future, you must have a bowl of water to keep it level. Don't let Yan'er and my daughter suffer, otherwise I will not let you go"

    Qin Kan smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, father-in-law. When Yan'er was born, he didn't mind throwing her into the well. How could my son-in-law be more inhumane than you?"

    Du Hong held his forehead and sighed: "I'd better not talk to you about family matters, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to help but beat you bastard to death I'd like to ask you, is it you who instigated His Majesty's insistence on personally conducting the expedition, right?  "

    "My father-in-law doesn't agree with the emperor's personal conquest?"

    "Nonsense! All the ministers in the court disagree, not just me?"

    He pointed out of the door with Yan Yue color, Qin Kan laughed: "Turn away from the door, go to the Beijing division straight, there is a sculpture dragon jade pillar beside Chengtianmen Square "

    "What's the meaning?"

    "Hit it with your head! Maybe your Majesty will change his mind if you hit it a few more times"

    Du Hong's hand stroking his beard trembled slightly. After a long time, he sighed solemnly: "let's just talk about family matters." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
