eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 810 Emperor Qin didn’t have to build the Great Wall

The emperor came to visit and bestowed upon him a calligraphy treasure. This was truly a wealth that was overwhelming to the heavens.

Wang Hao himself had seen strong winds and waves. Although he was happy in his heart, he still managed to keep his composure and did not lose much of his composure. However, his four sons all looked excited, and most of the women in his family were unable to control themselves.

Emperor Zhengde is quite legendary, and he is still young. A few men can catch a glimpse of his beauty by chance, but it is difficult for women. Maybe Wang Hao will only have a chance to celebrate his birthday today, so they all want to get in as close as possible. Even if it satisfies curiosity once you see it, it’s good.

But he said that from the inside to the outside of the banquet, everyone stopped talking and watched every move of the emperor. Zhu Houzhao saw this and knew that he had become the guest of honor, so he immediately said: "Mr. Wangge, today you are the birthday boy." , I am here to wish you a birthday, you can just find a place and ask me to sit down, the birthday banquet must continue."

Naturally, Wang Hao did not dare to make arbitrary arrangements, so he immediately raised his hands and said, "Yes. Your Majesty, please take a seat."

"it is good."

Zhu Houzhao was unceremonious.

Wang Hao was slightly surprised. He felt that if it had been a few years earlier, given the emperor's character, he would have been polite to him, because the emperor was a person who was willing to treat virtuous and corporal officials.

That's not to say that Corporal Li Xian wouldn't have agreed so simply, but in the past I probably had to give in to him a few times.

It seems that the emperor's confidence is growing day by day.

Zhu Houzhao felt that he was the emperor. If he didn't take the seat, no one would dare to sit. It would be better to sit down directly so that everyone would be comfortable. No one will say that he is not worthy of being an emperor.

"Your Majesty... then I will..."

"Oh, you go and say hello. I'll talk to some of them."

Zhu Houzhao was sitting down at this time.

But Zhang Cong, Wang Hua, Wang Jing and others all stood at the table.

"Okay, you guys are blocking my view like this. I can't see anything. Sit down."

"I dare not wait."

Everyone answered at once.

"sit down!"

The emperor's tone increased. After that, the group of people could sit down, and their buttocks were resting on half of the bench, and they were all very stiff.

Zhu Houzhao sighed: Being an emperor is indeed boring sometimes.

But he has to keep singing tonight's show. If he doesn't keep singing, he'll feel uncomfortable. If it keeps singing, these ministers will feel uncomfortable, so let's make them suffer.

"They're all here." He also had nothing to say.

Wang Hua and others laughed, "Yes, yes, they are all here."

Because he didn't want to overwhelm the guest, he didn't make too much noise here. Instead, he watched Wang Hao slowly walk up the steps, faced the people below and those behind him, and said: "Today is the sixth day of my life." On my eighteenth birthday, I had never thought that it would be such a big deal, disturbing everyone, and even the emperor condescending to come here. Your Majesty... veteran minister..."

Zhu Houzhao: "You say what you want."

"Yes, I obey the order."

Wang Hao was not used to it. He always felt something was wrong in the emperor's presence... and he couldn't let go at all.

"Your Majesty, why don't you give your order...I may be rude..."

Zhu Houzhao clicked his tongue and said, "It's your birthday, not mine. I don't even have twenty-eight, and I don't even think about sixty-eight."

"Hahaha."

The emperor made a joke, and the atmosphere became more relaxed.

"Okay, then the old minister said..."

Zhu Houzhao didn't bother to listen to what he said. It was nothing more than routine humility, pale politeness and superficial kindness. He was still more interested in the group of people below. If you look carefully, there are indeed a lot of court officials sitting there. He originally wanted to observe silently, but Wang Hao still couldn't let him go. After he finished speaking, he came over to ask for an order, "Your Majesty , look at what happens next..."

"What etiquette should be used?"

"Just open the table."

"Then you go."

The faces of the ministers changed.

You Zhi understood it and said, "Your Majesty, please allow me to taste the dishes for you first."

"it is good."

When the emperor agreed, Wang Hao didn't feel offended. Instead, he felt relieved like everyone else. It was really speechless.

"Oh, by the way, I have a happy event here that I want to share with you. It just happens to be another happy event for Mr. Wangge's birthday." Zhu Houzhao seemed to have just thought of it by coincidence and said, "The Governor of Xinjiang, Yang Yiqing, is here to play. By March of this year, the imperial court had completed the reorganization of the Six Guards of Kansai. All the guards expressed their willingness to submit to the Ming Dynasty. Mr. Wang Ge, this is actually due to you."

Suddenly, a group of ministers immediately stood up and saluted, "I congratulate your Majesty on your new achievements!"

General Wang Haoze said: "All of this is due to the Emperor's great blessings. How dare I take the credit?"

"Hey, you can't say that. I don't care how other people think of themselves as emperors. I am definitely not an emperor who takes all the merits of his ministers and blames them for their faults. Tu, but many of these affairs are attributed to the ministers, why don't you dare to take credit?"

"Emperor Shengming."

"Also, I have issued an edict to send all the remaining six guards of Kansai to the capital for a period of three months, as pledges. The edict is written as pledges. This sounds like an ungentleman's doing, but the guards of Kansai have repeatedly I betrayed the imperial court. When I was still young, I heard that some guards refused to move or listen to the propaganda. Therefore, he was unkind in the front, and I was unrighteous in the back. How can a gentleman be bullied by others? The second is The guards must obey the orders and mobilize their troops. If there is any violation, a large number of troops will invade next year, no matter what!"

These words were so domineering that a group of people felt an imperial aura rushing towards them when they heard it.

Everyone can tell big words, and it is never difficult to whitewash it, but the most important thing is to make people feel and believe it.

Zhang Cong also felt angry and immediately said: "Your Majesty, now my Ming Dynasty has driven Mongolia thousands of miles away from the north, conquered many tribes in the Western Region, and the territory of the East China Sea has also fallen into my arms. It can be said that the east and west wings span three thousand miles. , and far away from the north and south, there are wonders of winter and summer. The land that has been inaccessible to China for thousands of years is our servant of the Ming Dynasty. It is really a prosperous age that has never been seen before."

If Zhang Cong was originally trying to flatter you, this is probably the case for him.

However, Zhu Houzhao was not as polite as before. He accepted it calmly, just to let the ministers know that the emperor also accepted the theory of prosperous times, and he had already thought about how to become famous tonight.

Of course, he didn't really want to be famous, but wanted to spread the word about such a grand event.

"Today, I have witnessed the prosperity of the country and the achievements of the country. I would like to celebrate my birthday with you all. Since the battle of Tumubao, our Ming Dynasty has suffered repeated setbacks, resulting in the loss of national prestige and the decline of morale. Now the world is at peace. Finally, the decadent atmosphere has changed. Today, south of Tianshan, there are still the Yarkand Khanate and others who still don’t know what they are and are provoking many times. I have told Yang Yiqing to prepare our troops and attack them at the right time to strengthen the power of our Han people. At that time, it will be the Qin Dynasty. The emperor did not need to build the Great Wall, and the Han Dynasty did not need to regret Luntai!"

The last two sentences finally came out.

When the emperor left, some people still kept lamenting, mainly because it was too majestic.

Thousands of years later, when people talk about Emperor Zhengde, they will not avoid these two sentences: Emperor Qin did not need to build the Great Wall, and Emperor Wu of Han did not need to regret Luntai!

From a poetic perspective, this sentence is not that artistic.

But if the wheel is heroic, even if Su Dongpo wrote it, it would not be enough.

Yes, it’s not that he can’t write it, but he can’t write enough. Such words need to be spoken by an emperor!

Wang Hao did understand the emperor, and he was thinking about Zhu Houzhao's plan.

On Shukui's birthday, the emperor arrived, and then left two heroic words before leaving gracefully.

On the second day, the streets were already bustling. And within the office, all kinds of 'controversies' broke out everywhere. Those who favored people's livelihood naturally said that the emperor's two words were too murderous.

What does it mean that Emperor Qin didn’t need to build the Great Wall? If everyone outside the Great Wall is killed, there will naturally be no need to build it. The Luntai Edict issued by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in his later years was a sign of repentance for his military actions. However, the emperor said there was no need to regret. What did he mean?

On the other hand, the ministers who favored the power of the martial arts greatly appreciated this. After all, the emperor was not talking nonsense, and the national strength could support it. The people of the Central Plains have not suffered from labor until now. In this case, why not expand the territory? , what about establishing merit? Do you want to shrink like this without any ambition?

Wang Hao felt that he was being treated as a "gun". When he saw Zhang Cong, Wang Hua, He Jian, etc. the next day, they all politely asked him about his birthday, and then directly turned the topic to the emperor. on the body.

Even he himself had to talk about business, "The emperor is ready to conquer the Yarkand Khanate. You should come with me to the palace to discuss this matter with the emperor, right?"

In fact, the cabinet has received many memorials. It is very simple that there are two factions, fight and not fight.

As for the Jiangnan thing... it is being forgotten at a very fast speed.
