After finishing the business, Emperor Hongzhi breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had completed his mission.
For Emperor Hongzhi, he inherited the Ming Dynasty from his father when he was only eighteen years old. He has always been conscientious and diligent and did not dare to slack off at all.
His father, Ming Xianzong, disliked going to the morning court for a long time, so Emperor Hongzhi went to the morning court every day. He even convened important ministers for a small meeting after the morning court, and sometimes held an evening court in the afternoon.
I review a large number of memorials every day, even until late at night. I am very diligent, and I have been doing so for decades, and I never dare to slack off.
The reason why he is so diligent is because he knows that the Ming Dynasty he carries on his shoulders is related to the hundreds of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty.
He is a responsible emperor who loves his people like a son. He has been working hard to create the prosperous age of Ming Dynasty and run the Ming Empire, hoping to make it prosperous.
In the first dozen years, although Emperor Hongzhi was very diligent and appointed many capable ministers, the situation in the Ming Dynasty did not change much.
Internally, land annexation is still becoming more and more serious, land conflicts are fierce, imperial tax revenue is collapsing day by day, the national treasury is empty, border defense is getting weaker and weaker, the military household system is extremely corrupt, it has long been eroded, and the civilian officials are dominating, which is gradually becoming more and more powerful.
Externally, the Tatars from the northern grasslands went south to seize and plunder the country every year, the Jurchens in Liaodong were capricious, the Japanese pirates were raging along the southeast coast, and the chieftains in the southwest rebelled repeatedly.
Faced with such a situation, although Emperor Hongzhi wanted to change it, he was still within this box and could not escape. Those civil servants were vested interests and would never allow the emperor to mess around any more. It was just an empty treasury. Well, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't accomplish anything big.
" If big things cannot be accomplished, no matter how diligent and hard we work on other small things, there will still not be much improvement in the Ming Dynasty, and we will continue to slide downhill.
Until the emergence of Liu Jin, Liu Jin began to be reused and supported in many aspects of reforms. The development of overseas colonization and capitalism also made the Ming Dynasty slowly begin to take a different path.
During this process, there were several battles of wits with traditional civil servants, conservatives, salt merchants, and grain merchants.
In the end, the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty was gradually achieved.
For Emperor Hongzhi, these forty long years were very tiring.
Every morning, every day's memorials, every day's national affairs, all the same for forty years, there were only a handful of times when Emperor Hongzhi could really put down his whole body and mind to put down national affairs and take a good rest.
Everyone gets tired!
Emperor Hongzhi is really tired.
Now that the country of the Ming Dynasty is in Zhu Houzhao's hands, he relaxes as if he has completed his mission.
"Father, I don't want to be the emperor. I just want you to get well soon."
Zhu Houzhao obviously has no excitement or joy about becoming the emperor now. Instead, he is crying like a child. He is about to run away. At this moment, he is holding Emperor Hongzhi like a child and crying.
Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s eyesight was gone, and he didn¡¯t know what would happen to his body. He was really afraid of losing his father.
"Silly boy, everyone is subject to birth, old age, sickness and death, and my father will not do anything else."
"The country of the Ming Dynasty is now in your hands. You should be less stubborn in the future and focus more on governing the country and managing the country passed down by your ancestors."
Emperor Hongzhi touched Zhu Houzhao's head, feeling very happy in his heart.
"yes!"
Zhu Houzhao kept wiping tears.
¡°Go, go, let¡¯s all get busy.¡±
"I'm tired!"
Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand, indicating that everyone should go to work and leave him alone.
When everyone heard this, they all retreated one after another, and at the same time they began to prepare for Zhu Houzhao's ascension to the throne.
The next day, Jinluan Hall.
Under the witness of the ministers, the invisible Emperor Hongzhi, with the support of the eunuch, personally put the golden silk winged crown symbolizing the emperor's power on Zhu Houzhao, and at the same time handed the jade seal into Zhu Houzhao's hands.
This kind of succession is unique in all dynasties, except for some ministers who seek to usurp the throne and accept the Zen throne.The problem is, because there has never been a tradition of consanguineous marriage, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were almost the same in appearance.
When we arrived at Zhu Zaicheng, his appearance was even more handsome. Like his more than 200 brothers, all of them also looked good, and there were no genetic diseases in their bodies.
Liu Jin looked at Zhu Zaicheng again. His Royal Highness, the young prince, was handsome and handsome. In history, Zhu Houzhao did not have a son or daughter, but now he has hundreds of children, more than 200 sons, and now he even has a lot of grandchildren.
The royal family of the Ming Dynasty has truly blossomed and is no longer as depleted as before. The disadvantage is that how to arrange these sons in the future is a headache.
The advantage is that the old Zhu family's empire is more stable and there are many princes. At least, the Ming Dynasty's empire will not fall into Zhu Houcong's hands no matter what.
Well, Zhu Houcong is probably still here in West Africa, worrying about the development of his own country.
