Emperor's Award Ceremony: Beginning with the award of the Eternal Emperor

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly: "Looking at it like this, Da (Zhao Zhao) Ming may not be far from subjugation!"

"Dozens of people in the area can attack the capital! Even though it's the capital!"

"Thousands of miles along the way, none of the guards' soldiers could destroy them. It was a few peasants who killed a few Japanese pirates!"

"How corrupt is the Ming army?"

"Once it's corrupted and decayed, it's not just the army, it's probably all aspects of the imperial court that have completely degenerated!"

Cold sweat dripped from Jiajing's forehead.

"Didn't the ancestors and descendants wipe out all the Japanese pirates, and the Mongols also stopped. Is the Great Ming Dynasty still firmly in the hands of our old Zhu family?"

"The children and grandchildren are wise and powerful. Although they are not as good as the ancestors and Chengzu, they haven't lost many people to you!" Emperor Jiajing said firmly with his head held high.

Zhou Yidao: "Emperor Jiajing deposed Yan Song in his later years, and the government gradually got on the right track again, but at this time there is not much time left for Jiajing.

Chapter 230 Jiajing Reborn

Chapter 230 Jiajing Reborn

"In the 45th year of Jiajing, on December 24, Emperor Jiajing passed away due to illness."

"Emperor Jiajing had a disease of his own, and he was never cured, and he continued to take pills all year round. A large amount of toxins had accumulated in his body, and he finally died!"

"Before Emperor Jiajing died, he realized that his obsession with cultivating immortals and immortality was a mistake, but it was too late to correct it!"

After hearing these words, Emperor Jiajing looked at the alchemy furnace in front of him, his arms stiffened involuntarily.

"I'm going to die in half a year?"

His eyes were staring blankly, so do I still need to make alchemy?

He has now somewhat realized that immortality is something illusory at all, and his deteriorating health was also cured by the imperial physicians with traditional Chinese medicine.

He no longer believes in the theory of alchemy for immortality from the bottom of his heart, but he has been obsessed with this way for most of his life, and now he suddenly loses this hobby, and he doesn't know what to do.

Although he has not been in court for more than ten years, the government has always been firmly in his hands.

Both the boss and the southeast Japanese pirates were put down under his auspices. He sneered at the ministers of civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and no one was his opponent.

Although Yan Song is a treacherous official who controls the government, but he can make this old Yan Ge lose his black hat immediately with one word.

He is not interested in the concubines in the harem, and the relationship with his two sons is relatively weak.

Emperor Jiajing only had a deep relationship with his parents, but they both passed away early. He was at a loss and didn't care about anything anymore. It was his dream to practice alchemy to seek immortality, but he had already awakened.

Now I am still obsessed with cultivating and enlightening the Tao, and more importantly, I am at a loss for everything in the world, so as to pass the time.

"In the first 20 years of Emperor Jiajing's reign, he made great efforts to govern and did not follow the old ways. Various changes actively promoted social development, which greatly benefited both the Ming Dynasty and the people."

"Emperor Jiajing at this time can be said to be a wise and accomplished monarch."

"And during this period, not only agriculture and handicrafts, but especially commerce, have developed by leaps and bounds."

"It was called the sprout of capitalism by later generations, and various inventions emerged in all walks of life, transforming towards another system."

"At this time, especially in the field of culture and thought, it is extremely prosperous."

"All kinds of advanced concepts, knowledge, and ideas have sprung up like mushrooms and flourished, not like the ideological confinement of the early Ming Dynasty."

"All kinds of theories and academics have brought profound influence and even revolution to the whole society, the common people, and even the imperial court."

"If this situation continues, I believe that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, another social system will definitely be formed, and it will not enter the 2000-year historical cycle."

"At that time, the ancient imperial civilization in the East will stand in a different posture among the nations of the world, crushing the Western world!"

"But unfortunately, there are no ifs in history."

"In terms of cultural and ideological activities, various novels such as "Water Margin", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Journey to the West" have been published one after another!"

"These works either ridicule emperors and generals, or expose all kinds of situations in the world. Although they have aroused the dissatisfaction of many princes and ministers, these bright pearls of mankind have finally become popular."

"This also shows that Emperor Jiajing was more open-minded during this period, and he was not imprisoned, and all kinds of heresies that did not conform to the court's philosophy."

"This is the last glimmer of light left by history to the Ming Dynasty. If Daming can seize the opportunity, it will open up another world!"

"If you turn a blind eye, not only the Ming Dynasty, but the great empire that has existed for more than 1000 years since Yingzheng, will be completely left behind by the emerging civilization of the West!"

"However, the Ming Dynasty finally failed to seize the opportunity, and the Central Plains was ruled by a foreign race later, and all cultures and ideas were turned into clouds of smoke."

"Emperor Jiajing was bright and dark. He didn't have any great achievements, and he didn't have any crimes that people can blame."

"He is a moderate, and we don't have to be too harsh on him (cgef)."

"Emperor Jiajing, you have been in power for 45 years, don't you want to do something big?" Zhou Yi said.

"Although you are obsessed with alchemy, you are not ignorant of world affairs. You can tolerate all kinds of heresies outside. Presumably, various missionaries or foreign businessmen in the Western world brought various new ideas. , you have more or less heard of it."

"Why don't you take a longer view? A bird's-eye view of the world!"

"You already know that the world is not limited to Daming and the many vassal states around it. There are also countless foreign states far away in the sky. Although they are still a little weak, they have no power over Daming for the time being.

law poses a threat. "

"But what they are implementing is a new and advanced concept and social system. The development of national power is booming and unstoppable!"

"It's not something that the Ming Dynasty has been able to resist with this autocratic system that has been used for nearly two thousand years."

"When you pacified the northerners and the southern Japanese pirates, there was a feeling of being at a loss and invincible in the world. Therefore, you became obsessed with cultivating immortals and enlightening the Tao."

"Why don't you take conquering the stars and the sea as your goal?"

Emperor Jiajing's cloudy eyes shone brightly.

His body shivered violently, and then he realized, that's right, why didn't I think of this?

After a while, he shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Unfortunately, Mr. Zhou Yi, you reminded me too late."

"I don't have much time now, and it's too late to do anything else."

Zhou Yi shook his head.

"As long as you work hard, you will be able to do it any time."

He paused for a while, and suddenly said loudly: "Since Emperor Jiajing is not a particularly absurd and fatuous emperor, we will reward him with 20 years of life!"

Before he finished speaking, Jiajing saw a golden light flying over from the air and floating into his body.

He just felt that his whole body was filled with infinite power, and the toxins and some hidden diseases accumulated by taking the elixir for so many years were immediately cleaned up.

Emperor Jiajing felt that he was more than 20 years younger.

He clasped his fists excitedly and saluted: "I am Jiajing, thank you sir for giving me a long life!"

Zhou Yi shook his head, and said lightly: "I didn't give you this! Rather, the first half of your life is a reward that you deserve as a monarch who has done a little bit. Although the latter is a bit absurd, it will not lead to the subjugation of the country."

"I gave you 20 years of life in the hope that you can make up for the mistakes you made in the next 20 years of ignorance, and make a big difference again!"

"Bring Daming to an unprecedented level."

"And if you still practice immortality, the 20-year lifespan will be taken back immediately.".

Chapter 230 The Fury of Song Shenzong

Chapter 230 The Fury of Song Shenzong

"I dare not disappoint sir's expectations." Emperor Jiajing said hastily.

There was a sharp light in his eyes.

I have spent 20 years in a daze, and now I have an extra 20 years of life. I absolutely can't do this anymore?

He pondered for a moment, and already knew - what he should do.

He immediately issued a series of orders to arrest all corrupt officials and vigorously promote upright ministers.

And dozens of orders were issued one after another to encourage the people to produce and to reduce or exempt taxes in various ways.

Various acts to promote business development were enacted.

Emperor Jiajing also ordered to recruit scholars and knowledgeable talents from all over the world, and invited missionaries and businessmen from foreign countries to ask and record various cultures, knowledge, academics, and various rules and regulations in foreign countries.

He ordered the cabinet scholars and everyone to discuss and learn from the advanced experience of Fanbang, and combine it with the actual situation of Ming Dynasty to make innovations.

In this way, Emperor Jiajing not only abandoned some bad policies that had been used for thousands of years, but also introduced some unprecedented systems that adapted to the Ming Dynasty.

All of a sudden, the entire Daming was filled with a strong new wind.

No matter the officials in the court or the common people, they are all full of energy and energy.

Seeing this, Zhou Yi let out a long sigh of relief.

Although Emperor Jiajing's actions may not really make the Ming Dynasty change another system, at least, fundamentally, it has introduced a new trend.

Even if Emperor Jiajing stepped down and the following emperors continued to use this set of rules and regulations, the Ming Dynasty would gradually abandon the decadent system that had been in use for 2000 years.

Not only will there be no more alien invasions, but the suffering suffered by future generations will never happen again.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the busy figure of Emperor Jiajing on the screen, stroked his beard, and said with relief: "Although this kid is a bit of a jerk, he is not hopeless."

"As long as he is serious, he can really make a big difference."

Zhu Di laughed: "Father, after all, he is your son's descendant, how could he be worse?"

Zhu Yuanzhang squeezed his beard and glared at him, but without speaking, he suddenly turned to look at Zhou Yi.

"Mr. Zhou Yi, tell me, can I completely copy his cabinet system?"

In the video just now, it has been broadcasted. During the Jiajing period, his cabinet system was completely different from his monopoly in the early Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Jiajing has not been in court for more than 20 years, and the government is firmly in his hands.

Although the chief ministers of the cabinet are prime ministers in name, they can say a lot, but Emperor Jiajing can dismiss them from office with a single word.

Although he has now formed a cabinet team, it is completely different from that of Emperor Jiajing.

His cabinet team is completely a secretary's position, completely obeying his orders, handling government affairs, and not having the power to be alone.

And Emperor Jiajing not only gave some power to those cabinet scholars, but he also firmly controlled the power in his hands.

Take it easy on yourself.

But he, Zhu Yuanzhang, did everything by himself every day, exhausted himself, but was cursed by the ministers and the people.

Zhou Yi smiled lightly.

"Of course you can, but you can't copy it completely! You must come a little bit!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded. The cabinet of Emperor Jiajing obviously started from himself. After more than two hundred years, it has been gradually improved and has developed very maturely.

"Let's take stock of No.8 emperors with the longest reign! Liao Daozong, Yelu Hongji!"

Great Liao Kingdom.

As soon as Yelu Hongji heard the voice, he immediately raised his head and looked at the sky.

He laughed loudly: "The widow is on the list! The widow is on the list!"

He didn't expect that he would be able to be on the list of emperors who have reigned for the longest time.

In the various lists above, among the emperors of foreign dynasties, very few can make the list.

As for their Khitan country, no one has ever been on the list.

I didn't expect that I could get such an honor.

"Yelu Hongji, Daozong of the Liao Dynasty, reigned for 46 years!"

"Yelu Hongji is a fatuous emperor, loyal to traitors without arguing, appointing treacherous villains! The government is corrupt and dark, and the Daliao Kingdom is stepping into the abyss step by step!"

"Yelu Hongji has an unshirkable responsibility!"

Yelu Hongji looked at the screen, and when he heard these words, his face suddenly turned pale like a pig's liver.

He didn't expect to be on the list and become a villain who was whipped.

"Presumptuous! Presumptuous! How could I be a foolish king?" Yelu Hongji couldn't help throwing things in anger.

........for flowers.........

"Zhou Yi must have seen that I am the Khitan Emperor, and deliberately belittled me!"

"My Khitan has a vast and boundless territory! There are no fewer than a hundred countries coming to court."

"How can the Little Song Dynasty in the south compare with me?"
