The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

The poor courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, after the death of Jiajing, still celebrated with each other, telling each other: "The emperor who has not been in court for decades is finally dead. We have ushered in the succession of a prince who is known for his image as a benevolent monarch and high popularity. Now, the government can finally be handled by someone, right?"

Unexpectedly, Long Qing's ascension to the throne was fresh and diligent, and his diligence only lasted for half a year. Then the emperor, like his father, ignored the government, disappeared, and gave himself an indefinite long vacation.

The two emperors, at first glance, are their own.

Of course, there are differences.

Jiajing ignored the government and was busy cultivating immortals.

Long Qing ignored government affairs and was busy... picking flowers.

He gave full play to the specialties of the little flower-picking bees, and worked hard day and night in the depths of the flowers in the harem, cutting down day and night.

How diligent was Emperor Longqing in this matter?

In the spring of the sixth year of Longqing, Emperor Longqing, who succeeded to the throne for only 5 years, died of overwork, drug overdose, and heroic sacrifice in the combat position - on the belly of the women in the harem, he was only 36 years old when he died!

It can be said that this is the real and genuine death of X!

By the way, Emperor Jiajing, who was in power for 45 years, basically ignored the government in the later period, and Emperor Longqing, who ignored the government for 6 years.

Later, Longqing's son, Emperor Wanli, was even more outrageous. He ignored the government from the very beginning!

What's even more cheating is that it has been in power for 48 years!

Calculated in this way, Jiajing, Longqing, Wanli, the three emperors, grandparents and grandparents, and the laziest trio of Chinese emperors, together, they have been in power for exactly 99 years, almost 100 years.

For almost 100 years, having a king is like not having a king.

It was also Daming who suffered a bloody misfortune, too miserable to say anything.

How lazy are these three guys?

There was even a chestnut in the Ming Dynasty, a 16-year-old young man in the Jiajing Dynasty wanted to beheaded for committing a crime. The red pen is used, so it is called Pihong Goujue), so this Sao Nian has been kept on death row very depressed.

Jiajing finally died, and Long Qing came to power, but no one paid any attention to him.This young man has become an uncle and is still in prison.

Long Qing died, caught up with the lazy Emperor Wanli, and then...

Nima, not to mention the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, even the chief assistants can't see Emperor Wanli.

hook up?

nonexistent!

The uncle became a grandfather, and finally couldn't survive the laziness of the three emperors, and died of old age in the death row, dying of old age with a smile on his face.

(Under the Nine Springs, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di fainted from crying in the toilet. Our father and I work 20 hours a day just to fight the world for you, you are good...)

Compared with these three goods, there were also three combinations of grandparents and grandparents in the Qing Dynasty.

Kangxi was in power for 61 years, Yongzheng was in power for 13 years, Qianlong was in power for 60 years and was the Supreme Emperor for 4 years.

Together, these three masters have been in power for almost 130 years.

The diligence and diligence of Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong formed a strong contrast with Jiajing, Longqing, and Wanli, and they were all like that.

They are basically workaholics. The time they spend reading books, meeting with ministers, going on tours, and even fighting in person every day is almost the same as Jiajing's cultivating immortals, Longqing's flower picking, and Wanli's game time.

But in fact, in the field of historians, the lazy administration of the three masters of Ming Dynasty has always been hugely controversial.

The general view now is that the emperors are indeed lazy, but they also have a little bit of good - the cabinet!

During the three emperors Jiajing, Longqing, and Wanli were in power, they were able to boldly delegate power to the chief ministers and give full play to the enthusiasm of the chief ministers, and they were very good at appointing talents.

Therefore, in the past 100 years, there have been many famous officials in the Ming Dynasty.

From Xia Yan, Yan Song, Xu Jie, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, Shen Shixing, Wang Jiaping...

Etc., etc.

Contrary to the laziness of the emperors, under the inaction of these three lazy people (Ma De Zhao), the Ming Dynasty realized the three major expeditions of Jiajing Zhongxing, Longqing Kaihai, and Wanli. Daming maintained a relatively stable and prosperous situation. Japan and Mongolia fell apart.

In this era, the emperor has basically disappeared. It belongs to the era of chief ministers and the golden age of civil servants!

A later book on the study of the 500-year golden age of the Ming Dynasty records like this: ".々... It is precisely because of the laziness of the three emperors that Yan Song, the chief assistant, has the possibility of scolding Fang Qiu and actually controlling the country. This is also the possibility of Yan Song The reason why they can shine in this dynasty. Facts have proved that the affairs of the empire seem to be able to maintain without the intervention of the emperor, and they can even do better—as long as they have a good prime minister. ～."

Long story short, the three emperors were very lazy, and instead gave Yan Song an excellent opportunity to actually rule Daming for a long time.

Chapter 1658 Do not forget the original intention, the great ideal [5]

When Gao Gong heard that Emperor Longqing was impatient to expand his harem as soon as he ascended the throne, and selected beauties in the beauty contest, his eyes darkened and he said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, what are you... How did the old minister educate you back then? "

Long Qing took his time and said calmly, "Yes, Master was very earnest back then, and taught me to have ideals!"

Gao Gong's tears were streaming down, and he said in a trembling voice: "Then how did you answer me back then?"

Long Qing giggled and said: "My answer back then was, what I want, the world!"

"The emperor's words are too correct." Gao Gong hastily remonstrated, "I hope your majesty will not forget the original intention..."

Long Qing looked indifferent, and smiled: "I have not forgotten my original intention. I have been working hard all the time! The world is usurping the throne! I have already succeeded, so the next step is beauty..."

"Pfft!"

Gao Gong had a heart attack and fell to the ground, his limbs twitching and foaming at the mouth.
