It is precisely because Qiao Mu knows all these things.
That¡¯s why she sent a miniature insect robot to protect Zheng Jinlian, because according to unofficial records, Zheng Jinlian was secretly killed by someone sent by the Empress Dowager Zhou before she died.
???????????? Firstly, she wanted to die without any evidence, so as to avoid the matter going wrong. At the same time, if she, a dying person, took action, Emperor Hongzhi would not be too angry.
After all, she is almost dead.
Secondly, she knew that her time was short, and the Zhou family might be in danger after her death, so she used Zheng Jinlian to express her kindness to Queen Zhang, hoping that Queen Zhang would not target the Zhou family after she died.
And Empress Zhang did what she wished for.
Did not target the Zhou family.
However, this time Qiao Mu intervened.
The future may not be the same.
¡¡
A few years later, in the seventeenth year of Hongzhi
The inner court of the imperial palace, the East Palace and the Chunlin Hall.
It was late at night, when everyone else was asleep, Zhu Houzhao, who was just thirteen years old, secretly opened his eyes.
He ran to the side hall with better sealing, and met the cold-faced master there on time who would come to teach him for an hour every night.
From now on everything is as usual.
As always, one teaches and the other learns.
Ask when you encounter something you don¡¯t understand.
The voice was kept very low.
Try not to disturb any palace eunuchs.
It was not until the end that Zhu Houzhao asked the master an aside question in a very tangled manner:
"Master, is my father really as bad as you say? But the ministers in the court all say that my father is a wise and holy king who has never been seen in the ages!"
"They are indeed such obedient emperors. I have basically taught you the details. Can't you tell the difference yourself?"
Although Qiao Mu had sent a bionic robot to teach Zhu Houzhao a few years ago, in fact she only sent the body of the bionic robot, and the real teaching was done by herself. Therefore, the person who is talking to Zhu Houde now, In fact, it is Qiao Mu himself.
She is controlling the robot remotely.
¡°You can tell the difference
"But why is my father like this? I can see the plans of these ministers."
"Father, how could he"
After several years of Qiao Mu¡¯s teaching, Zhu Houzhao has already matured and is not inferior to adults.
It¡¯s not that he didn¡¯t believe Qiao Mu¡¯s words at this time.
He just felt that his father's image had collapsed and he was no longer as tall, bright and upright as before.
It was a little hard to accept for a while.
"I think your father may not have noticed it. He just didn't expect that the greed of those ministers was far beyond his imagination, let alone that they were so bold.
"And your father is not a wise man to begin with.
Let me give you an example.
You know Empress Zhang¡¯s brother, he is your uncle in name. It should be well known to everyone what kind of character they two are. I don¡¯t believe your father is not clear about it, but has he done anything to them? He is an ordinary virtuous minister who has the right to kill relatives, but what about him?
This alone is not enough to call him a virtuous person.
Jiangnan has been reducing taxes every year. Do you think he doesn¡¯t know that Jiangnan is rich? Jiangnan¡¯s wealth has been known to everyone since the Song Dynasty. No matter how stupid your father is, he is not so stupid that he doesn¡¯t know this.
It has been known to everyone since ancient times that businessmen are rich. It is impossible for your father to be so stupid that he does not know this, but he still reduces taxes and exemptions for Jiangnan every year, but the really poor northwest is I haven't lost weight for almost a year.
Why do you think that is? "
Qiao Mu¡¯s purpose at this time is to completely shatter Zhu Houzhao¡¯s remaining illusions and make him recognize the cruelty of reality and the collapse of his father¡¯s image.
"Whywhy?"
Zhu Houzhao had actually thought of some possibilities, but he didn't dare or didn't want to say them.
Qiao Mu glanced at him through the bionic robot, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a sarcastic smile:
¡°Do you know how many of the ministers in the DPRK and Central Government are from Jiangnan, how many are from the southeast, and how many are from the northwest or places like Lingnan?
There are hundreds of officials in the middle of the court, divided into eighty-two parts from north to south.
More than half of the officials in Jiangnan are in high positions. Among the senior cabinet ministers above the court, which one?I was born in Jiangnan.
Not only do northwest officials have a low status, but they are also small in number and have almost no say.
Jiangnan officials united.
It can almost shake Chao Gang.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Outside of time, if they jointly say bad things about a person, that person will become notorious, or even be infamy for thousands of years.
Their right to speak.
He is much older than your father.
After all these years, your father doesn¡¯t want to be spoken ill of by others over trivial matters.
So I can only continue to endure it.
Anyway, the mess will be yours.
His good reputation has been preserved. "
Zhu Houzhao was silent again. Although he wanted to deny it, he didn't know where to start, because everything his master said was true.
Does not say the place of origin of officials above the court.
??????????? There are a total of sixteen lecturers and tutors in the East Palace, twelve of whom are from Jiangnan, three are from Qufu in the southeast, and only one is from the Li family in Longxi.
By looking at the details, he knew that there were definitely a lot of Jiangnan officials above the court without any investigation.
More than half may be considered polite.
This is because they are divided into north and south rankings.
Otherwise, the situation may be even more bleak.
Although theoretically speaking, the number of officials from the north and the south produced by the north-south rankings should be roughly the same, but in fact, most of the high-ranking official positions in the court have long been occupied by southern officials. Without the promotion of Shangguan, those Jinshi born in the northwest are not only awarded It's hard, and it's hard to get promoted.
If things go on like this, officials in the south who have status and background and have people above them will naturally rise step by step and quickly move to Beijing for promotion. Those in the north who have no background may still be serving as county magistrates in some county after ten or twenty years. After a few generations, even if The division of rankings between the north and the south cannot suppress the tilt of the voice of officials from the north and the south in the court.
"Master, if I become the emperor, can you help me? I want to change this situation.
Me, I'm worried that I can't do it alone. "
After being silent for a while, Zhu Houzhao finally clenched his fists and made a determination deep in his heart to change the situation.
"Haven't I always been helping you?
I have been testing you before, but now you have finally made up your mind to change. Then I will tell you the truth. Your teacher was sent by Empress Dowager Qian. Over the years, Empress Dowager Qian has been following the decree of Yingzong. Develop power secretly.
I want to assist the Ming Dynasty in creating a martial emperor.
Restore the situation of civil and military checks and balances.
Neither your father nor your grandfather are good at it. They both received civil service education from an early age and are basically useless.
You are the only one who is different. You have always been rebellious.
Even don't even love learning.
"To break the current situation, we need an emperor who is unwilling to follow traditional etiquette.
Waiting for His Highness to succeed to the throne.
Queen Mother Qian will do her best to help you.
At that time, you don¡¯t have to worry about the threats that the harem may bring to you. You only need to concentrate on dealing with the officials of the previous dynasty and expanding your military equipment. "
Be a little more frank about the general situation and reveal it to Zhu Houzhao. It was originally Qiao Mu's plan. It had not been long since the death of Empress Dowager Zhou and Zhu Houzhao's father. Now that he had the opportunity, Qiao Mu disclosed some information smoothly. Give Zhu Houzhao and let him understand.
It would be better for both parties to be honest, rather than being discovered later and creating a gap between them. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
