Emperor Zhengde of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 51: Dusty decree 2

"Actually, the emperor has long known about the corruption and secret cultivation of power in the East and West factories, but the emperor has never dealt with them."

"Because only in this way, the cabinet and the two factories can check and balance each other, allowing them to confront each other while leaving you longer room for growth."

"But the royal father is also afraid. He is afraid that one of them is getting bigger and bigger than you can handle. Then it will be troublesome."

"For this reason, the father leaves three cards for you."

"The first trump card is your uncle. The Hulong Villa he built includes all the forces in the world. Even if you are no match for them, at least under the protection of Hulong Villa, you and your mother will be protected. safety."

"The Marquis of Iron Courage has been obsessed with martial arts in the world all his life. He has no intention of interfering with the government. You can completely trust him."

Seeing this, Zhu Houzhao secretly admired his father's foresight and insight. He could think of this level for himself, which is also very valuable.

The fact that Emperor Hongzhi could even think about their escape route shows his good intentions.

"The second trump card is a secret royal passage. It was a secret passage established for future generations when Emperor Yongle was in power."

"When Emperor Yongle broke through Nanjing, Emperor Jianwen relied on the secret road built by Emperor Hongwu to escape. Later, the monk in black told Emperor Yongle that by building such a secret road, the descendants of the Zhu family could always escape the result of cannibalism. "

"Since moving the capital, four secret passages have been built in the Forbidden City, and only the emperor knows about it."

"But the royal father was worried that this secret passage would be discovered and used by other traitors, so the royal father sealed off the other three secret passages, leaving only one secret passage, under the seventh white stone on the right side of the throne in the Xuanzheng Hall of Qianqing Palace. "

"If you encounter an emergency, you can open it and dig a foot deep, and you can find the secret passage."

Zhu Houzhao was shocked when he saw this.

I have been in court for more than two months, and I didn't even know there was such a secret passage!

"And this third hole card is in the nine-sided town."

"They are all loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty. They are the good officials and famous generals carefully selected by the father and emperor. They will be responsible for guarding them."

"If foreigners come to invade, or the vassal king insults your mother and son, you can use a decree to mobilize 800,000 heavy soldiers from the capital to serve you."

When Zhu Houzhao saw the last trump card, he couldn't help taking a deep breath.

On this imperial decree, the position and deployment of troops stationed by each general are recorded in detail.

Nine-sided important town, ten generals.

In addition, there are also anti-Japanese soldiers who are not known by the court ministers, all of which are secretly practicing.

If he is overtaken by the cabinet or the eunuch, he will secretly activate it, and 800,000 troops will march into the capital. Whether it is the **** or the cabinet, no matter how powerful they are, they will not be able to resist.

No matter how emergency the situation was at that time, once the photo was taken out, the country would be safe and secure.

Inside the Cining Palace.

Zhu Houzhao was deeply shocked by the content of the imperial edict.

It can be said that there was a certain reason for the death of Emperor Hongzhi that year, but also because of this, he left behind later generations.

From the imperial decree, we can see the love of Emperor Hongzhi for himself and the empress dowager.

The queen mother looked at Zhu Houzhao's shocked face, and said earnestly: "This legacy was left to you by your father and emperor back then. I will give it to you today. I hope that one day, you can become a generation of Ming monarchs of the Ming Dynasty."

Speaking of which, the queen mother's eyes flashed with crystal tears...

"Empress mother, please rest assured, the son will definitely not live up to the trust of the father and the emperor to the son."

Zhu Houzhao held the imperial decree tightly, which was not only his promise to the late emperor, but also to the people of the world.

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Zhang nodded with relief, and said to Zhu Houzhao earnestly, "Zhao'er, actually the Empress should not have said it."

"But the queen mother believes in you. You are more heroic and talented than your father. You can achieve this result at a young age, and only you can fulfill your father's wish back then."

"Father's wish back then?"

Zhu Houzhao looked at the queen mother in amazement, his face full of doubts.

The Queen Mother nodded slightly and pushed the red box containing the imperial decree in front of Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao took a closer look and found that there were sheets of blood-stained rice paper at the bottom of the box.

Although the Queen Mother has not spoken yet, Zhu Houzhao has basically guessed that the rice paper may be stained with the blood of Emperor Hongzhi back then.

"This blood...?"

The queen mother wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, as if recalling everything in the past, and said in a choked voice: "Yes, this is exactly what your father did in those days."

"Actually, your royal father died from depression after a long period of depression."

"What? Suffering from depression for a long time? When did the royal father do?" Zhu Houzhao asked with wide eyes.

The queen mother slowly took out the blood-stained rice paper and explained to Zhu Houzhao's hand.

"You can open it and see for yourself."

Zhu Houzhao unfolded the yellowed rice paper and looked carefully.

I saw five big characters written on each piece of rice paper: The Change of Tumu Fort.

Zhu Houzhao's face was gloomy, and he naturally remembered a very humiliating past event in Ming Dynasty history.

The fact that Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen's defeat in the northern expedition to Wata was a failed battle in the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, this foreign battle was also the most humiliating one.

More than half of the 200,000 Ming army suffered casualties, lost more than 200,000 horses, and lost countless clothes, armor and equipment.

The Grand Master, British Duke Zhang Fu, Taining Waitress Chen Ying, Consort Jin Yuan, Minister of Officials...

More than 50 officials of the DPRK died, and the final result was that Ming Yingzong was captured, and the foreign army entered the capital. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

Daming was forced to re-establish a new emperor, which stabilized the court and the world.

With the determination to live and die together with the capital, Yu Qian and his soldiers fought **** battles and fought hard to kill the enemy.

In the end, it resisted the attack of Ola.

But the crisis of the Ming Dynasty was not resolved.

The foreign Tatars divided their troops to attack, and the Ming Dynasty suffered more than 200,000 casualties in advance.

In the end, when the Shandong army was mobilized, King Qin, who came from various vassal kings, completely repelled the attack of the foreign army.

But it was the change in Tumubao that caused various faults to appear in the entire Ming Dynasty.

The ordnance equipment suffered heavy losses and could not be recovered in a short period of time.

The large number of deaths of officials and personnel caused a cultural and economic fault in Daming, and everything fell into the fault.

As a result, the Ming Dynasty never got out of the fault.

During these long years, it was not that Emperor Hongzhi did not want to report the hatred of the year, but what really made it difficult for him to achieve is that the court really had no money and could not support him to do that at all.

After a major change, the cabinet, eunuchs were intrigued, and there were many factions in the court.

You must know that fighting a big battle costs not only troops, but also money.

Emperor Hongzhi used imperial power to stabilize the situation in the dynasty.

However, it is really powerless to spend most of the time and financial resources to report the hatred of the year.

He also understood that once there was a change in the DPRK, it would be a disaster for the entire Ming Dynasty.

It is precisely because of this that Emperor Hongzhi died in depression.

Zhu Houzhao looked at the sheets of rice paper, remembering the difficulties of Emperor Hongzhi back then, and a sense of admiration rose in his heart.
