Chapter 969:Death (The Finale)

Thirty years of Shenwu is the 30th year of Zhu Hongsan Imperial Palace, and it is also the 30th birthday of Zhu Hong.

Zhu Hongsan was born in the forty-eight years of the calendar, that is, 1620, and now it is 1680, exactly 60 years.

Sixty belongs to the year of flower armor, the Ming emperors do not live long, only a few live over the 60 years old, so Zhu Hongsan is ready to celebrate their birthday on the third day of the first month.

On the morning of the third day of the first month, the whole dynasty gathered in the temple and came here to celebrate the birthday of the rulers of the empire.

Zhu Hongsan's interest was very high, accompanied by the small eunuch to accept the worship of the courtiers, but Zhu Hongsan sat in the dragon chair and saw the dense heads of the people below, and suddenly felt very sad in his heart.

Zhu Hongsan has been 60 years, plus more than 30 years in his previous life, he lived for nearly a hundred years.With the increase of his age and the loss of memory in recent years, the memories of the two worlds began to overlap, so that Zhu Hongsan sometimes did not know that he was in that era.

Today, seeing the group of ministers and the princes congratulating, Zhu Hongsheng returned to his time when he was called emperor in Guangzhou.

At that time, the soldiers under the hand were well, the new army's combat effectiveness was strong, and Zhu Hongsan had just arrived at that time, which was the season of spirit.But what now?Zhu Hongsan is already old, and he has to get up two or three times in the evening to go to the toilet.

There is no denying that Zhu Hongsan is old, and he looked at the people below and sighed and said, “Get up!”

The ministers stood up after the ceremony of the three-pending ceremony under the leadership of the chief military aircraft minister Zhang Jiayu, and after the maintenance of the armor, Zhu Hongsan abolished the cabinet prime minister system, and the general machine was replaced by the cabinet system.Zhang Jiayu because he does not belong to the Huguang Group and the Donglin Party, coupled with the elderly people around Zhu Hongsan, has become the military aircraft minister, and has now been an eight-year.

Zhang Jiayu at this time after the previous purges, the political experience is extremely deep, after hearing Zhu Hongsan's tone to know why the emperor sighed.It’s very simple, old, and I don’t feel like a successor.

In fact, Zhu Hongsan is also worried about this matter, after the prince Zhu Hai was abolished, Zhu Hongsan began to cultivate other princes, but other princes who let Zhu Hongsan disappointed are not this material.The three princes Zhu Huai are fat and narrow in their hearts, and they are not benevolent.Like his grandfather, the old four Zhu Yuan did not know the way for you, nor was he a good successor.As for the other princes, they are all the same, not the ability or the shortcomings of their personalities, so the prince's position is now empty.

In the past ten years, although Zhu Hongsan has been a hard hand to clean up the sergeant-to-humanities officers, the country's top or two thousand officials have been unlucky, either exiled or lost their heads, but it is precisely because Zhu Hongsan suppresses the civilian forces and minimizes the political cost, and the emperor's will can be perfectly executed.

Now that the cabinet system has been abolished, it can only be replaced by the military aircraft of Junn, so the whole country must follow the will of Zhu Hongsan, and the party disputes that have plagued the Ming Dynasty have been completely resolved from the calendar year.Because the whole country has no restraint, the whole country presents a prosperous scene.

In the 26th year of Shenwu for the second time to clear the field of land to obtain the data, the country from Liaodong to Yungui, the population has been restored to the 100 million people before the end of the war, at the same time, because of the emergence of the baby boom after the war, the whole country presents a vigorous weather.

In the military Gods team had defeated the Dzungar Ministry, the imperial territory in the northwest had expanded to the ridges, and the west had bordered the white heads of Kazakhstan back.The northern part of the Russian infiltration of the Heilongjiang River basin has been completely resolved, and a treaty with the Russians has been signed, and Russia officially recognizes the Ming Dynasty's sovereignty over the various Mongolian tribes of Siberia.

The southern imperial team has defeated the Dutch and the British forces, and the Manragah Strait became a major traffic route for controlling foreign ships into the South China Sea in the Ming Dynasty.In the southwest, the emperor has annexed the south-central peninsula, the military peak has entered India, and several small countries in the south of India have joined the Greater Chinese civilization circle from the British and Dutch colonies.

Economically because of the booming economy, the national fiscal revenue in Shenwu 29 years has reached 70 million silver dollars, although in absolute terms there is no more than 160 million Northern Song, but according to the degree of silver depreciation has exceeded the Northern Song Dynasty, becoming the richest dynasty in Chinese history.

This speed of development of the country is based on absolute authority, without the collective checks and balances of civil servants, Zhu Hongsan can govern the country according to his own wishes.However, as a modern-day person Zhu Hongsan, he knows that the rule of authority is very useful in the recovery period, but it is very unfavorable to the long-term stability of the country.Because it is easy to bureaucratize officials under the rule of authority, you can take care of everything by your emperor, and we officials can hit a day when the monks hit a day.

Therefore, if we want the empire to develop in this way forever, we must return to the virtual reality system of Longqing and the calendar years.Although this system has all kinds of drawbacks, such as fierce party competition, infighting and national strength, etc., the benefits are also obvious, that is, it will not let the national government have too much change, even if there is an outlier such as Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian, but because the civilian power is extremely large, it will automatically repair the correct line.

Because of this, Zhu Hongsan knows that he has entered old age, and at the same time, because his body is not very good, he may not live for a few years, so he will be very anxious about selecting a qualified successor in these years.

Zhu Hongsan sat in the dragon chair and listened to the chief military aircraft minister Zhang Jiayu read the official faceless face of congratulation, he looked at these ministers, did not have a familiar face, those who followed him to fight the world most of the soldiers died in Zhu Hongsan's hands.At that time, in order to maintain the rule and execute them Zhu Hongsan did not feel wrong, but today to see this scene, Zhu Hongsan miss the previous scene, the original I am old!

Listening to Zhang Jiayu's formula, Zhu Hongsan waved his hand and said, "Well, Zhang Aiqing don't read, I am glad that you can celebrate my birthday for me, each person will pay a year's reward, nothing to retreat!" 」

Zhu Hongsan's officials are not low, Zhang Jiayu as a product of the annual 156,000 silver dollars, so the full of the emperor is very happy, have bowed their heads to thank the emperor's grace.

Zhu Hongsan nodded and got up to go back to the palace, and now the women of Zhu Hongsan in the harem are basically dead, Ma Xiaofang died in Guangzhou, Ma Ruqi was Zhu Hongsan gave death, Guifei money Yuting died last year, the eldest princess Zhu Ping侥昵叭ナ溃??鸵丫? ナ溃? 惊鸌? 鸌? 鸵衷谡? 龊蠊? 龊蠊? 氡饧改瓴皇遣 ∷谰褬蔬卵N 🙂;

Now the main harem is the princess Xu, the new caste of Shenwu 22 years into the palace of the show, because she looks like Ma Xiaofang, Zhu Hongsan favorably promoted to the princess.However, Xu Guifei knew that the emperor was very good at killing, and the former emperor and noble concubines died at the hands of the emperor, so Xu Guifei was trembling every time she saw Zhu Hongsan, and was afraid that what he was doing was wrong to provoke this murderous demon king.

Zhu Hongsan saw Xu Guifei's face of the heart is very angry, this woman looks like Ma Xiaofang but no horse Xiaofang lively vitality, went to bed like a dead fish, after losing the freshness of Xu Guifei Zhu Hongsan also began to get tired of her.

Seeing Xu Guifei like this Zhu Hongsan frowned: "Okay, don't wait for you to serve, you go down!"Hearing the emperor say this like an amnesty, he quickly got up and retreated.

After Xu Guifei left, a small eunuch came in to report that Zhang Jiayu was coming, Zhu Hongsan is now a powerful day, and probably the only person who dares to say some common words in front of him is Zhang Jiayu.Just today Zhu Hongsan is not in a good mood, need a person to solve, so after hearing Zhang Jiayu visit, quickly let him in.

Zhang Jiayu had just seen the emperor Zhu Hongsan in the hall, Zhang Jiayu is the official old oil, immediately know why the emperor is in a bad mood, so in the scattered dynasty to see the emperor, in order to succeed the problem.

Zhang Jiayu is the teacher of Zhu Hai, so Zhang Jiayu has always supported Zhu Hai on the issue of successors.However, Zhu Hai made such a big mistake, persuaded the emperor to restore Zhu Hai as the prince is not the ordinary difficulty is not ordinary, but Zhang Jiayu knows that the emperor will not live forever, the emperor will also die, in order to be the emperor's death as the chief military aircraft minister, Zhang Jiayu must be Zhu Hai arched.

Zhu Hongsan looked at Zhang Jiayu and asked, “Zhang Aiqing, what did you come to see me?”

"Your majesty, when the courtiers just saw that your majesty seems unhappy, can you talk to your courtiers, and let the courtiers open one or two for your majesty!"

Zhang Jiayu and Zhu Hongsan's age is about the same age, when Zhang Jiayu was in Guangdong with Zhu Hongsan is also half a friend, so today Zhang Jiayu dare to ask this, if you change to other ministers, see Zhu Hongsan scared to pee pants, there is also the emperor dare to solve one or two?

Zhu Hongsan listened to Zhang Jiayu sigh and said, "Oh, just now I saw that the dynasty was full of youth ministers, and my old man left you alone, you are old, and I am old!"

Zhang Jiayu said: "Your majesty from the end of the army, the removal of the Tartar light to restore the Ming, such achievements have been comparable to Tang Taizong, Song Taizu, and my dynasty's Gaozu emperor!"

Zhu Hongsan is who, as soon as he hears Zhang Jiayu say so, he knows what he wants to say.In his later years, several sons of Tang Taizong competed for positions, and finally he quarreled with Wei Wang Li Tai and was abandoned, so that Li Zhi, a middle-aged man, became the emperor.The same is true of Song Taizu Zhao Qian, and the sound of candle shadow axes in old age is also unclear.As for Zhu Yuanzhang, the newly dead son was in a difficult battle, and Zhu Yuanzhang's choice of legal successors fell to the ground as emperor.

These emperors were alive when martial arts were built, but after his death, the successors were not elected well, which caused political turmoil.So today Zhang Jiayu came to see Zhu Hongsan is not what his majesty solves, but directly proposed that the emperor should choose a successor.

When Prince Zhu Hai was just abandoned, some ministers also proposed to set up a prince for the country's hope, but at that time Zhu Hongsan was still rich and strong, he did not think of selecting a successor so early, plus several other princes were still young at that time, so Zhu Hongsan was ready to talk about it.

But this is more than ten years, Zhu Hongsan this year has been 60, who knows you can live a few days.What if the Emperor suddenly hangs up the country?What about the government?Is there another Eight King?

Zhu Hongsan is not a faint emperor, he knows that Zhang Jiayu is also considered for the country, but now Zhu Hongsan has not yet settled down with this successor, there is no way Zhu Hongsan asked: "Yuanzi, this prince, who do you see fit?"

Zhang Jiayu listened to the emperor call his own words of great joy, know that there is a play today.But Zhang Jiayu could not directly propose to let Zhu Hai become a prince again, so the traces are too obvious.

"Your majesty, the prince is the foundation of a country, how dare you guess?"Please, your majesty is arbitrary!”

In fact, Zhu Hongsan also has a candidate in his heart, that is, the emperor's grandson Zhu Shengduo, but Zhu Shengdu's uncles are there, and they are still adults, if Zhu Shengdu is directly in charge, then Zhu Hongsan hangs those uncles are not turned upside down!Was Zhu Di playing Zhu Yun? 刹痪椿适宀O6? wood re-election?/p>

Zhu Hongsan sighed and said, “Yuanzi, Grandson Zhu Shenduo, how do you see him?”

Zhang Jiayu listened to a door: "Your Majesty, the eldest grandson has been a generation after all, if you let him be the emperor's grandson, what about the other princes?"What about ethics often?And now the prince is still there, it is impossible to bypass the father directly to the emperor's grandson!"

Judith thought it was the same thing, but what should I do?

“What do you think of that thing?Don't worry, today in this room is you and my husband, what is the situation you can say directly!"

Zhang Jiayu, who received the emperor's instructions, began to publish a long speech: "Your Majesty's Imperial Thirty Years, His Majesty's martial arts are extremely prosperous, the people have also been given rest and recuperation, and it is the most important thing to choose the prince to let His Majesty's concept of governing the country continue!"

Zhang Jiayu followed Zhu Hongsan for the longest time, he knew what the emperor liked to listen to, of course, he liked to listen to the ass.In fact, Zhang Jiayu was the great steward of the empire for eight years, and it was not known what the people looked like now.Because the thirty years of war have not stopped, the imperial treasury has been quickly dragged down by the military, and the annual fiscal revenue is 70 million silver dollars, but half of the war on the frontier every year, and the country will repeat the mistakes of Sui and the emperor in this way.

The imperial frontier has 200,000 soldiers fighting all the year round, India can still count, after all, India now has 40 or 50 million people, the Ganges plain is still a grain-producing area, so the Indian war is still in surplus.But Zhang Jiayu did not know why the emperor used soldiers in the northwest.Out of the Yumen Gate is a desert, where the sparse population of the people, because there is no infrastructure, the emperor team's supply is all transported from the mainland, the country really can not support.

If Ma Mingyuan and other authorities were still alive, they would not agree with the emperor, but the emperor killed all his opponents and used his strong will to persist in the war in the northwest for so many years.However, Zhang Jiayu, as a housekeeper, knows that it is not enough for the war in the northwest to end, and now the country is booming on the surface, but 80% of the people's financial resources have been drawn up, and the country will be in turmoil.

The country became like this, and Zhang Jiayu was naturally anxious as a housekeeper.But Zhang Jiayu than Ma Ming far wisdom lies in this, he will not directly raise objections in front of the emperor's face, but euphemistically from the side to wake the emperor, that is, the emperor does not listen to Zhang Jiayu will not be reluctant, anyway, the country is the emperor yours, you say what to do, this is also Zhang Jiayu from the 15th year of the god Wu can avoid the previous cleaning one of the reasons.

Zhang Jiayu first said a piece of nonsense tout the emperor, and then said that this successor should choose the person who continued the emperor's concept of governing your country.Zhang Jiayu knew that the emperor would never know anything about the situation of the people, the emperor had the armor in his hand, and must have mastered the various movements of the people, so Zhang Jiayu bet that the emperor also had the intention of remorse.

Zhang Jiayu really bet, Zhu Hongsan from the future, this life is not a high-level person, he is too understanding of the civil suffering, but the northwest border is too important for the future, to know that in the future, half of China's own oil comes from Xinjiang, for future generations of northwest and Siberia must be won.

However, according to the productivity of the Ming Dynasty, it was impossible to supply the army in the northwest, so Zhu Hongsan faced the same problem as Yongzheng a few years ago, that is, the northwest became a chicken rib, playing and fighting, and could not withdraw.However, in the twenty-eight years of Shenwu came the good news, the same as the expedition of thousands of miles of Russia can not persist, and finally and the Ming Dynasty peace talks to give up Siberia, without the support of Russia, the northwest of those Mongolians can not eat should also surrender.

Therefore, the policy after Zhu Hongsan's death should not be expansion, but adherence, and choosing a prince should be done at present.

Zhu Hongsan is very optimistic about Zhu Shengdu, after all, Zhu Shengdu is old, and Zhu Hongsan has been to Liaodong together, the military is still familiar with, while Zhu Shengdu's performance in recent years is very close to Zhu Hongsan's mind, so Zhu Shengdu is currently the best candidate for successor.

However, Zhu Shengdu's other sons must be unconvinced, Zhu Hongsan does not want to be in a mess after his death, which is Zhu Hongsan's biggest headache at present.

Zhu Hongsan thought for a moment and said, “I am interested in Zhu Shengduo, Yuanzi, what should you do?”

Zhang Jiayu waited for the emperor's words, Zhang Jiayu said carefully: "Your Majesty, the prince is the choice of the prince and the government, plus the emperor's grandson is the eldest son of the prince, and the son is the eldest son of the prince!"If your majesty restores Zhu Hai as a prince, will Zhu Shengdu not also become the legal successor of the empire?“Your Majesty, think again!”

Zhang Jiayu said this with great care, although he is the emperor's confidant, but in recent years the emperor is probably Alzheimer's disease, temper capricious.But today Zhang Jiayu said that the emperor was not angry, but touched the beard and mused.

Zhu Hongsan invested too much effort in Zhu Hai, when Zhu Hongsan took his hand to teach him how to govern the country, Zhu Hai also did not live up to Zhu Hongsan's high expectations, and the governance of the country is also a good hand.At the same time, Zhu Hai also exercised in politics, and when Zhu Hai, with the help of Qin Wang Zhujiang, he wanted to control Zhu Hongsan, a typical example, but Zhu Hai's means did not Zhu Hongsan spicy.

It occurred to me that my son counted Zhu Hongsan and was angry: "Yuanzi, but those facts that were done by the contraintestinal son at that time could not be forgotten!"

"Your majesty, the subject also has a son, the son of the courtiers will punish him for his wrong, teach him the truth of being a man, and if he does not repent, his subordinates will use the law of the family."The prince was wrong, but the prince in Fengyang for more than ten years rushed north to kowtow, insisting that there was no interruption for 15 years.The courter thinks that the closest relationship in the world is the father-son relationship, and now the son knows why the father can't forgive him when he is wrong?"

Zhang Jiayu said this very much in place, has deeply moved Zhu Hongsan.Yes!Zhu Hai is his own son, the son made mistakes when the father's discipline is, then can not see each other for a lifetime?

Zhu Hongsan asked, "But when the prince was made a big mistake, if the prince was restored, I was afraid of the court's criticism!"

Zhang Jiayu listened to the emperor's heart of great joy, it seems that his efforts today have results.

"Your majesty, when the prince was young and did not understand the world, he was encouraged by Ma Mingyuan to do the wrong thing, and after 15 years of reflection, he must have already known that he was wrong!"

Zhang Jiayu was right, Ma Mingyuan is the prince's teacher and father-in-law, what shit pots are buckled to his head, anyway, Ma Mingyuan is dead, want to buckle how to buckle.

Zhu Hongsan pondered for a moment and said, “I am tired today, Yuanzi will go back!”

Zhang Jiayu heard the emperor say this, knowing that the emperor had agreed, and the next step would be to see how he operated.

Zhang Jiayu immediately prepared after returning home, on the first day of work on the 16th of January, he took a turn to the prince to exonerate, the content is very simple, that is, Zhu Customs has known that he was wrong for 15 years, and when his mind was hot, he listened to the rapist Ma Mingyuan.

Zhang Jiayu is the prince's teacher, for the prince to plead nothing, but this play is too scary, all the officials in the DPRK think that Zhang Jiayu is going to be unlucky, that know the next day in the palace came the decree, the emperor also agreed, the life of the prince Zhu Hai from Fengyang Royal Prison, back to Beijing to monitor the residence.

The emperor's edicts everyone knew what was going on, and the emperor was preparing to restore the prince, so soon some of the stinking feet of the Qingyu royal history began to write for Zhu Hai, and Zhu Hai was said to be a good son blinded by Ma Mingyuan, and now asked the emperor to restore the prince.One by one, these ministers spoke righteously, as if the emperor had not set up Zhu Hai as the prince, they would hang themselves.

Zhu Hai left Fengyang, who had imprisoned him for 15 years, returned to Beijing on the 10th of May, and went to the palace to meet his father Zhu Hongsan, who was crying with headaches.

On the first day of June 30, Zhu Hongsan, Prince Zhu Hai*, was Qi Wang, and immediately on the second day of June, Zhu Hai was re-elected as the prince.

At this time, Zhu Hongsan has been 60, the young year of the war has greatly exhausted his body, he does not have the energy to govern such a large country, so in the first day of the first month of the 31st year, Zhu Hongsan decreed that the country's big and small things in the future are absolutely salty, it is the sign that Zhu Hongsan began to decentralization.

On the fifth day of June, 32nd, Zhu Hongsan finally ushered in his limit, in the Qianqing Palace of the Forbidden City in Beijing, all the sons of Zhu Hongsan knelt on one place, and even Zhu Jiang, the waste Qin Wang in Fengyang, was released.Zhu Hongsan looked at his sons with satisfaction and said: "I lived for a hundred years before and after, I am satisfied!"The prince has done very well in the past few years, and I am very relieved that you can be a good emperor in the future!"

Zhu Hai is now 45 years old, see himself finally want to get the right fruit, think of his own more than 40 years of suffering, coupled with seeing his father is going to die, can not help but cry: "Father, you will be fine!" 」

Zhu Hongsan pulled Zhu Hai's hand and smiled, "Stupid child, how can people not die?"When I die, you will be kind to your brothers, and when you are a good emperor, I and your mother will be satisfied in heaven.”

Hearing Zhu Hongsan mention his mother Ma Xiaofang, Zhu Hai was unable to control the feelings and cried on his knees.

Zhu Hongsan, this is the spirit has been lost, looking at the room beam said: "Xiao Fang you are coming, you come to pick me up?"All right!I’ll take you to the car, take the plane, and eat KFC!”

Zhu Hongsan's voice slowly became low, and finally became silent, and a generation of Xiongshen Wu Emperor finally ended his legendary life.
