Everyone in the world said that Zhu Houzhao was a fool because he was playful and neglectful of government. In order to let himself play freely, he simply left state affairs to the eunuchs and the cabinet, and did not care about anything. It must be said that these behaviors are indeed as shameless as a fool. two.
¡°However, we cannot just look at appearances. There are all kinds of foolish kings in history. Which foolish king would not be willing to stay in the palace for a lifetime? Which foolish king doesn't live in dissolute, joyful, singing and dancing all day long? However, Zhu Houzhao led the army on an expedition at a young age, and even charged into battle to kill the enemy himself. This courage and responsibility are incomparable to most of the foolish emperors in history.
Zhu Houzhao was suitable to be a general who roamed the battlefield, and he was also suitable to be a playboy, but he was not suitable to be an emperor. Although he was short-lived, it still has to be said that Zhu Houzhao had a bad fate and was born in the wrong child.
¡¡¡¡
The army marched very slowly, and it took more than half a month to walk two or three hundred miles. The marching posture did not look like the squadron was returning to Beijing, but instead seemed to be protecting Zhu Houzhao while he was sightseeing.
Fortunately, Zhu Houzhao returned from playing, but did not do anything to waste people or money. When passing through prefectures and counties, local officials would always pick him up and arrange a stay in the palace. Zhu Houzhao refused them all, and did not even enter the city, but only set up camp outside the city.
The Zhengde Emperor in history was not so polite when traveling. The main reason was that the sycophants around him tried to make money and kidnap women in the name of the emperor. Every time he passed by, it was like locusts passing through the border. It was unknown how many families were separated from their wives and their families were destroyed. However, in this life, it was Qin Kan who accompanied Zhu Houzhao. He would never allow such a thing to happen. A gentleman loves money and gets it in a wise way. Qin Kan did not refuse the money of the capital ministers. Ding Shun also occasionally confiscated the property of corrupt officials. It is harmless to withhold a few rare treasures and donate them to Qin Kan, but Qin Kan will never plunder the poor people. The people are already living a difficult life. Qin Kan has not been able to improve the world so far. It is because he feels guilty. How can he bear it? Adding insult to injury to the people?
Qin Kan's unwillingness to search does not mean that the officials below do not search.
In fact, many local officials did this. Before Zhu Houzhao's army arrived, some officials used the banner of welcoming the emperor to forcibly apportion money to local wealthy gentry, merchants and farmers. They collected tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands in silver. It turned out that The emperor was ungrateful and did not commit any crime against local Qiu. Even when setting up camp, the quartermaster took the initiative to come to him and pay for a few pieces of wood. The money collected by the local officials was gone, so they closed the door in the dark room and prepared to divide it privately. When they had money, Jin Yiwei sent them a driving invitation
On the way back to Beijing, Qin Kan's Jinyi Guards picked out six or seven local officials, reported them to Zhu Houzhao, dismissed them from office and exiled them, and published the glorious deeds of these people in the imperial newspaper, and sent copies to various officials in the Ming Dynasty.
After killing these chickens, the remaining monkeys finally woke up and became timid. They discovered that Ning Guogong was not only non-vegetarian, but also serious. So the money collected by forcible apportionment was sent back overnight by the frightened officials. On the way back to the capital, Duke Qin conveniently turned against the corruption, which inadvertently made him famous. It was really an unexpected gain.
*************************************************** ****************
No matter how reluctant you are to return to Beijing, you will eventually reach the destination now that you are on the road.
In the twelfth lunar month of the third year of Zhengde, when the first snow fell in the capital, Zhu Houzhao's army finally arrived outside the Anding Gate of the capital.
When the weather got colder, Zhu Houzhao changed the carriage. Eight horses dragged the carriage, which was about two feet long and more than one foot wide, dragging slowly in the snow. In the splendid carriage, Zhu Houzhao and Qin Kan sat cross-legged on two On the white bear skin, two pots of charcoal fire were burning in front of them, and there was a small sandalwood coffee table in the middle, with a pot of flower carvings warming on it. The two were chatting and drinking wine. The interior of the carriage was as warm as spring, peaceful and peaceful.
"When I came back from a great victory, I really wanted to see the faces of the ministers who greeted me. When I wanted to conquer it myself, the ministers were as anxious as if I were going to dig up their ancestral graves. They jumped out to object one by one, saying that they were the son of a rich man. Lord of Ten Thousand Generations, who would have thought that not only did I win the battle, but I also came back in full, let¡¯s see what they have to say.¡± Zhu Houzhao took a sip of wine, with a sneer on his red face.
Qin Kan said with a smile: "Most of the people in the court are people who follow the wind. When your majesty returns from a great victory, the courtiers must only sing praises. They must have forgotten that they swore to die against your majesty. There are many mediocre people in the world. It¡¯s the icing on the cake, but it¡¯s hard to find help in times of need.¡±
Zhu Houzhao blinked a few times and looked a little excited: "There must be many courtiers waiting outside Anding Gate. Do you think I should issue an edict later? I just ignored those ministers who were waiting for me. The imperial minister went directly from Anding Gate." Forbidden Palace, I will slap them hard"
Qin Kan looked troubled: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is not appropriate. Once this matter comes out, Your Majesty will be relieved.?In the future, the relationship between the monarch and his ministers will become even worse. Any words or deeds by Your Majesty in the future will be scolded by the whole court. Just to vent your anger for a moment, you will have to suffer endless grievances in the future. Your Majesty, it is not worth it. "
Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt a little discouraged: "You are right, I am happy today, but I will be in trouble tomorrow. It is really not cost-effective. Well, I will reluctantly talk about old times with the ministers who are coming"
Qin Kan reminded: "and you have to smile."
Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "I am not a joker. How can I laugh at these old and immortal guys?"
"When you see that annoying guy, Your Majesty, just imagine that he was suddenly hit to death by a flying stone from the sky. Will Your Majesty be happy if you think about this?"
Zhu Houzhao turned his anger into joy: "It makes sense, I will definitely laugh so hard that I can't stop laughing"
While the two were talking, the chariot suddenly stopped.
Outside the chariot, a general knelt down and reported: "Your Majesty, the imperial chariot has arrived at the Anding Gate of the capital."
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "Are all the ministers greeting you outside the city gate?"
The general hesitated for a moment and then said, "Well, Your Majesty, I don't dare to say anything"
Inside the chariot, Zhu Houzhao and Qin Kan looked at each other for a moment. Zhu Houzhao stepped forward impatiently and opened the curtains of the chariot himself. Standing at the chariot bridge and looking around, he saw a vast expanse of white snow with no end in sight. , the sky is gray, and the heavy snow is still falling.
Zhu Houzhao glanced around the city gate and saw a group of people standing respectfully in the snow outside the city gate. When Zhu Houzhao walked out of the chariot, everyone knelt down and kowtowed.
"We sincerely welcome your majesty to return to the capital in great victory. The king's army is victorious and our emperor is mighty!"
Zhu Houzhao curled up the corner of his mouth, and a smile broke out. He looked carefully, and the smile suddenly froze on his face, his expression gradually became tense, and a cold light shot out of his eyes.
The people kneeling in the snow were headed by Zhang Yong, Dai Yi, and Chengguo Gong Zhu Fu. Behind the three of them were densely knelt a group of hereditary princes and nobles and military generals in the capital. There was no problem with these people. The problem was, Except for these eunuchs and nobles, there was not a single civilian official in the Six Ministries of the Central and Central Government, the Metropolitan Inspectorate, the Dali Temple, the General Affairs Department, the Imperial College, etc.
Zhu Houzhao's face was livid, and his whole body was shaking with anger.
Qin Kan followed him out of the chariot and couldn't help being surprised when he saw the situation outside the city gate. In an instant, his face looked much better than Zhu Houzhao.
The ministers must greet the emperor when he returns to the capital on his own expedition. If the emperor achieves an unprecedented victory in a personal expedition, the ministers will even go thirty miles out of the city to greet him. This is not polite, but an ancestral tradition. This is what the code says. Specified.
Zhu Houzhao returned to the capital today. Three days ago, Qin Kan sent waves of messengers to report the emperor's movements to the cabinet of the capital. They should know very well when and when Zhu Houzhao will arrive in the capital. Why are there only eunuchs and nobles outside the Anding Gate at this moment? , there is no civil servant to greet you?
"These dog officials are going too far!" Zhu Houzhao stood blankly for a long time and finally roared loudly.
Qin Kan didn't answer, but his heart was extremely heavy.
The relationship between the emperor and his ministers in the Ming Dynasty has actually become so cold. In the future, if he wants to quietly change the world in a silent way, it may be much more difficult than imagined.
After returning from the victory, he did not receive the expected cheers, but instead received a deserted look. For Zhu Houzhao, this was simply humiliating.
"Zhang Yong, you are such a genius! Why didn't any of the civil servants come? Did they all die at home?" Zhu Houzhao was so angry that he stepped forward and kicked Zhang Yong hard.
Zhang Yong knelt on the ground and said in panic: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I dare not hide it. Everyone in the capital knows that your Majesty is returning to the capital today, but the adults in the court didn't know when they got together and made an appointment in private." If you don't welcome him today, saying It's absurd and contrary to the ancestral system to say that His Majesty left the capital to go on an expedition in person. Now that His Majesty has returned from victory in great momentum, if the whole court welcomes him, I really don't know how many more times His Majesty will leave the capital to go on an expedition in person in the future. times, so, so"
Zhang Yongqi didn¡¯t dare to say anything anymore, and looked at Qin Kan with a pair of eyes asking for help.
Qin Kan couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to help Zhang Yong and said: "Your Majesty, to put it simply and popularly, the ministers are not welcoming you because they don't want to spoil you."
Zhu Houzhao was so angry that he jumped to his feet and roared: "How dare you humiliate me!"
When Zhang Yong and others saw Long Yan¡¯s rage, they all fell to the ground with bitter faces and said in unison: ¡°Your Majesty, please calm down and take care of the dragon¡¯s body.¡±
"Teach me how to calm down my anger? I went to Jiangxi to quell the chaos and won a complete victory. I fought a victory, not a defeat! Why did the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty treat me like this!" After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking sharply, his eyes suddenly turned red and he blinked hard. , Shengsheng held back his tears.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????? off out??
"Wait a minute, Your Majesty!"
Qin Kan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly stood up. Facing the doubtful eyes of everyone, Qin Kan bowed and said: "Your Majesty, you have put down the rebellion, wiped out the rebels, ended the war in Jiangxi, and brought peace to the people. The people of Jiangxi are all against your Majesty." I am grateful, Your Majesty is the heroic emperor who helped the country, so why did you not get the cheers you deserved after returning to the capital?"
Zhu Houzhao stood blankly for a moment and said: "Qin Kan, what do you mean"
Qin Kan said slowly, word by word: "Capital Master, I owe your Majesty a welcome."
"so?"
"Therefore, Your Majesty should not enter the city in such a desolate way. I am willing to share your worries for Your Majesty." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)??Let's go into the city and set up a leopard room. "
