On the road from Xicheng District to the old town of Beijing, Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin were sitting in the same car, talking and laughing about something.
"Actually, I still miss the past very much. At that time, I didn't have to worry about national affairs all day long. I could travel around and enjoy the mountains and rivers. Not to mention how comfortable my childhood was."
Zhu Hou looked at the high-rise buildings outside the window. The changes in the capital were getting bigger and bigger, especially the three major new districts in the outer city. It is not an exaggeration to describe the rapid changes.

On the other hand, the old city, because of many restrictions, has changed very little and basically still maintains its original appearance. So many officials now choose to move out of the old city and live in the new city.
Many facilities in the old city are not up to par, and even if you have money, it is difficult to make your own mansion big and grand. Naturally, living in it is not as comfortable as the new-style houses now.
Houses in new urban areas are different. Basically, the facilities keep up with the times, they have everything, and the design is more in line with the trends of the times, making them more comfortable to live in.
In addition, now that cars are available, transportation has become more convenient, and commuting to and from get off work has become much more convenient. Therefore, many dignitaries in the capital choose to live in outer cities.
Looking at the bustling and bustling capital, Zhu Houzhao actually really wanted to have time to go sightseeing, walk around and look around.
He himself is not a person who likes to be constrained and restrained, and he does not like the serious and serious atmosphere in the palace. However, as the emperor, he has no choice but to shoulder the responsibilities that he should bear.
"Your Majesty, most of the time in this life, people do not live for themselves."
"Some people live for their loved ones, while others live for the responsibilities on their shoulders."
"Your Majesty, you are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the emperor of the tens of millions of people of the Ming Dynasty. You carry the country, the country and the country on your shoulders. Naturally, sometimes you cannot be as free and easy as you are in front of you."
Liu Jin replied with a smile.
To be honest, Zhu Houzhao is still doing well as emperor now. Compared with the past, Zhu Houzhao is so many times better now.
Of course, this is also related to some of the current systems of the Ming Empire. The Ming Dynasty's resting system gave Zhu Houzhao some time to be lazy and play, but it was different in history. There was often nothing important to do in the morning. Listen It would be annoying for anyone to have a bunch of old ministers telling you what to do.
It¡¯s different now. You go to court from Monday to Friday, and you can rest and play by yourself on the weekends. During the holidays, you can even take a few days off, which gives you time to relax.
In addition, the morning time has also been changed, so you don¡¯t have to get up so early, which makes people more comfortable and humane.
In addition, Emperor Hongzhi is still alive and well, and he also plays a supervisory role over Zhu Houzhao.
There¡¯s nothing I can do, I¡¯m still watching, someone is in charge of this after all.
¡°Perhaps Zhu Houzhao doesn¡¯t need to care about other people¡¯s opinions, but what he cares about most is Emperor Hongzhi, and he respects Emperor Hongzhi the most. The words of Emperor Hongzhi are more useful than anything else.
Historically, Zhu Houzhao was somewhat lawless, entirely because Empress Zhang could not control him at all. Empress Zhang had doted on him since she was a child. In addition, she was a womanly person and didn't understand anything, so she would not control him.
But the most important thing is that there are very few things that really bother Zhu Houzhao in the Ming Dynasty now.
The Ming Dynasty was prosperous, the country was peaceful and the people were safe, and it was developing rapidly. Compared with the Zhengde Dynasty in history, it was one hundred and eight thousand times better. It had money and everything it wanted, and it was extremely powerful.
In such a powerful dynasty, not only the people's lives are comfortable, but the king can also be more comfortable and have nothing to worry about.
If you live in a dynasty that is plagued by internal and external troubles, even the king will probably be trembling with fear, having trouble sleeping and eating, and it will be difficult to live a good life.
Just like the last emperor, Emperor Chongzhen, he was neither a fatuous emperor nor a mediocre emperor. In fact, Chongzhen was also very diligent and a smart emperor who wanted to make a difference.
"But living in an era like the late Ming Dynasty, even as an emperor, he lived an extremely frustrated and helpless life. Internally, he could not control the ministers and the court situation, and his energy was consumed in endless political struggles every day.
Externally, he had no way to deal with the Jurchens. He could only watch the loss of Liaodong step by step, and watch the Jurchens frequently check the border. Under the intertwining of internal and external troubles, he, the emperor, could not live in peace for a few days.??People can have enough to eat, wear warm clothes, and afford good houses. "
¡°I didn¡¯t expect that decades would pass by in this blink of an eye. Now it seems that my ideal has basically been realized.¡±
"Now, the people of our Ming Dynasty have basically lived a good life, with enough food, warm clothes, and good houses to live in."
"Externally, our Ming Empire is also extremely powerful and invincible in the world. Our Ming Empire is prosperous, our country is rich and our people are strong. I have no regrets in this life!"
Liu Jin looked at the bustling streets outside and talked about his ideals with a smile.
Zhu Houzhao listened carefully and nodded slightly. Based on his understanding of Liu Jin, Liu Jin did not tell lies. This was Liu Jin, the Liu Jin he trusted and valued.
"So Your Majesty, I sincerely ask for Your Majesty's permission to resign. In the future, I want to live for myself, travel around and see the world!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
