Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

The current head of the Mu family, Mu Tianbo, even though he succeeded to the throne as a young man, he still maintained the true character of the Mu family and always protected the king.

Historically, after Chongzhen committed suicide, some chieftains in the southwest claimed that "the Ming Dynasty is gone, so where can there be Duke Mu" and launched a rebellion.

Mu Tianbo, who was only in his 20s, united Ming officials from all over the country and dispatched chieftains from various ministries to quell the rebellion and maintain the Ming Dynasty's territory in the southwest.

The Hongguang and Longwu dynasties were defeated one after another, and the Ming Dynasty declined day by day.

Sha Dingzhou launched a larger rebellion.

After that, it happened that under the "command" of Jiangnan Daru, the Guangzhou Shaowu and Yongli regimes fought each other.

The chieftains of the southwest saw the truth about the decline of the Ming Dynasty, so the rebellion became stronger.

Even Mu Tianbo's two younger brothers, Mu Tianze and Mu Tianrun, were killed.

Sha Dingzhou not only robbed Mu Guogong's property accumulated over two hundred years, but also disrupted most of Yunnan.

It happened that Zhang Xianzhong died at this time, and before his death, he ordered the Western Army to surrender to the Ming court.

With the help of Sun Kewang, Mu Tianbo stabilized the situation in the southwest.

After that, Mu Tianbo stayed with Yongli until the cursed water disaster occurred. Mu Tianbo seized the weapons of the Burmese soldiers and killed dozens of Burmese soldiers in order to protect Yongli...

The difficulty of falling into the cursed water...

How could Zhu Youjian, who is familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty, not know the story of Mu Tianbo!

This is the loyal soul of Ming Dynasty!

The descendants of the Mu family, the adopted sons of Zhu Yuanzhang, recognized the Ming Dynasty more than many of the real "sons and grandsons" of the Zhu family.

Zhu Youjian really wants to reward the Mu family!

Of course, taking advantage of the Mu family matter, he also had another plan——

Erect the Mu family and set an example for the clan...

Lift Mu Tianbo high to beat those who disobey the king's rules...

This is a plan that Zhu Youjian has planned in his heart for a long time.

What's more, although there are scum like Zhu Chunchen, more than half of the nobles of the Ming Dynasty did live with the country.

Ming Dynasty has always had a practice - to select noble children to accompany the princes to study and play.

In this way, when the prince succeeds to the throne, he will have his own people around him.

Because these people have a good relationship with the new emperor, they will become the new emperor's tentacles in controlling the government.

That is, the "royalists".

This practice followed the entire Ming Dynasty.

but--

This is not enough!

Zhu Youjian believed that Zongfan should be added!

From the inside to the outside, first the inner vassal, and then gradually implement this method in the outer vassal - only then can China enjoy long-term peace and stability.

Creating a "Chinese-speaking world" is Zhu Youjian's highest goal!

And the Mu family is the first step for him to implement this plan!

The Mu family is the most powerful person in the Ming Dynasty.

The Mu family controls the southwest of the Ming Dynasty.

He is the "King without a King."

As long as the Mu family successfully joins in, Zhu Youjian's plan will have a solid "cornerstone".

……

Zhu Youjian and his "first glove" Zhu Yujian discussed for a long time.

Most of the time, Zhu Youjian was talking and Zhu Yujian listened attentively.

From time to time, King Tang made one or two suggestions.

Although Zhu Yujian said very few words, he was worthy of being called a "Zhongxing" man.

Every suggestion made by Zhu Yujian accurately grasped the central point.

……

It was getting dark.

The performance has gradually become a social fire.

The one who is performing now is a man from Zezhou, Shanxi Province - Tiehua.

A thousand-year-old stunt, molten iron with a thousand degrees of temperature was swung into the air by a man with a bare back.

The rain of iron flowers and fire formed beautiful fireworks.

Under the gradually deepening night, this magnificent scene elicited bursts of exclamations.

Amidst the noise, Zhu Youjian took out "Huazi" and handed one to Zhu Yujian.

After lighting a match on the back of the chair, Zhu Youjian lit the cigarette in his mouth, then covered it with one hand to prevent it from being blown out by the wind, and passed it towards Zhu Yujian.

The emperor personally lit his cigarette, and Zhu Yujian hurriedly confessed:

"Your Majesty, you can't do it, you can't do it, there's no reason to light a cigarette for a minister..."

"Stop talking!"

Zhu Youjian laughed:

"If you keep talking for a while, the matches will burn out!"

Seeing the emperor's sincerity, Zhu Yujian smiled.

He put Hua Zi into his mouth, lit it up with the emperor's fire.

Under the sky filled with sparks, the two flashing red cigarette butts looked so inconspicuous.

However, the ministers who could only look at the iron flowers with one eye, and whose other half of their thoughts were always focused on the emperor, were all horrified!

oh my god!

The old Tang King seemed to be doing all kinds of deadly dirty work...

I thought that the emperor was dissatisfied with the Tang king's private recruitment of troops in the past few years. He was still upset after being imprisoned for seven years. This was an excuse to punish him.

but don't want to-

In private, the emperor actually respected the king of Tang so much?

God!

so……

It’s not that the King of Tang is not favored, but that he is too favored!

The emperor was relieved when the king of Tang was doing his job, so he gave him the most dangerous job.

The eyes of the ministers flashed:

If you think so...

The Tang Dynasty king's action of checking the landowners was the emperor's favorite thing!

……

At the thought of this, all the ministers had their own thoughts.

But the same thought floated in the minds of the ministers:

After returning home, be sure to write immediately to inform those seventh aunts, eighth aunts, students, those in the same year, in the same department, old friends...

Inventorying the land is the most important thing for the emperor. We must let the wealthy families who are implicated quickly recognize the situation!

……

Zhu Youjian had no idea that one of his unintentional actions helped Prince Tang eliminate countless opponents...

The sixteenth day of the first lunar month is the same as the first day of the Lunar New Year.

All officials of the Ming Dynasty took a rest.

Except for essential positions, all employees will have two days off.

In other words, officials in various government offices will not come back to work until the [-]th day of the first lunar month.

Oh!

As early as the Song Dynasty, there was already a saying of "going to work".

After the Lantern Festival, all the officials took a vacation, but Zhu Youjian asked Gao Doushu to be summoned.

Since Gao Jie's death, Zhu Youjian has urgently changed his established policy. He is no longer prepared to eliminate Zhang Xianzhong first.

After leaving Niu Wancai, Niu Chenghu, and a group of teams under Gao Doushu in Hanzhong, Zhu Youjian invited Gao Doushu back to the capital.

Gao Doushu was an isolated minister of the Ming Dynasty.

His life can be described as a die-hard courtier of Chongzhen.

For such a loyal person, Zhu Youjian naturally does not hesitate to use it.

In the back garden.

The stream is gurgling, and the spring water flows along the dug waterway, slowly along the mountain, towards the foot of the mountain.

Gao Doushu was still in the cold weather. Even when he met the emperor, he could not hide his tiredness.

He rushed back overnight.

In order to attack Zhang Xianzhong, Gao Doushu, who was stationed in Zhuxi, trekked thousands of miles of mountain roads to return to the capital in just three days, without resting day or night.

Even though he is a tough guy, he is already paralyzed from exhaustion.
