Chapter 095: Time Bomb

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty were obviously a "mascot" more often, and were even constrained in the capital for life and could not leave. Therefore, some rebellious emperors appeared in the Ming Dynasty, which cut their brains and wanted to run out of the capital. ∷∷ Point∷ Small∷ Say,...o&1t;/p>

Why don’t the ministers let the emperor leave the capital?&1t;/p>

Of course, it would be fine if the emperor wanted to leave the capital, but the ministers would always advise and obstruct. Because in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor guarded the country's gates, or the emperor suppressed the evil spirits.&1t;/p>

The emperor is similar to a human-shaped Feng Shui magic weapon, which specializes in suppressing the northern evil spirits in the capital. Therefore, Chongzhen did not move the capital until his death. The Ming Dynasty considered the problem from the perspective of suppressing the earthly evil spirits, and it was basically impossible to move the capital.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao naturally didn't want to stay in Beijing for the rest of his life. He also wanted to travel and see the beautiful country. As an emperor, if he ignored government affairs, the country would be in chaos. Let the cabinet handle government affairs, but someone also needed to check it. Obviously, it was completely safe to be the queen.&1t;/p>

The husband and wife are connected by fate, so the queen can naturally feel at ease. Concubine Chun and Concubine Liang can also participate. If you can supervise each other, you will feel even more at ease.&1t;/p>

As for the issue of harem interference in politics, there is no need to worry about it. The system of the Ming Dynasty has already decided that harem interference in politics may indeed exist, but there will be no harm.&1t;/p>

The empresses and concubines of the Ming Dynasty were all from good people's families. Without the power of relatives to participate in it, the harem was destined to be unable to make anything even if it interfered in politics. Moreover, the harems in the Ming Dynasty were relatively harmonious and reasoned to each other. After the emperor passed away, the women left behind were at most wanted to be the empress dowager, and it was basically impossible to have greater ambitions.&1t;/p>

It's okay to be an empress dowager! There's no problem with both empress dowagers. Emperor Wanli ascended the throne at a young age. In fact, power was controlled by the harem. There were two empress dowagers in the harem, and there were no serious consequences.&1t;/p>

The harem interference in politics in the Ming Dynasty was basically similar to the early stages of Wanli. After the emperor became an adult, the harem would naturally return power to the emperor.&1t;/p>

It means that even if Zhang Yan and the others want to interfere in politics, they have to wait for Zhu Youxiao to die first.&1t;/p>

So just in case, the queen must also have certain political literacy. If she accidentally died of medicine one day and left behind an orphan and widowed mother who didn't understand politics, wouldn't she be bullied to death by those civil servants?&1t;/p>

In order to extend and inherit the will, Zhu Youxiao must teach the queen and the others how to deal with government affairs, as well as the methods and principles for handling. Even if they are accidentally killed in the future, the queen can at least continue the correct line of struggle.&1t;/p>

However, Zhang Yanao had to watch how Zhu Youxiao reviewed the memorials, while Liang Fei and Chun Fei were more curious.&1t;/p>

Li Chaoqing has presented today's memorial to the Hall of Yangxin and classified it. It is not that difficult to deal with government affairs, but it is not that simple.&1t;/p>

To put it bluntly, if an emperor has the correct judgment in his mind, he will not make any major mistakes in handling government affairs. If he has a broader horizon, he will be relatively simple when dealing with government affairs.&1t;/p>

"Empress, Liang Concubine, it is actually very simple to deal with these memorials. First, we must distinguish between priorities and irrelevant memorials. Just let the cabinet handle the matter directly. What we have to deal with in person is that, first, natural disasters, people are prone to turmoil when they are affected by disasters. Whenever there is a natural disaster, the court must provide relief as quickly as possible. Second, military affairs are more related to the survival of the country. They cannot be easily entrusted to civil officials, so as not to do anything, and be corrupt, which makes our Tian family feel cold to the hearts of the soldiers of the Red City."&1t;/p>

"Emperor, where is me? Where is me?" Concubine Chun squeezed into it and wanted to see it. Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "Yue'er, you can learn slowly. By the way, I will let the female official continue to teach you how to study tomorrow."&1t;/p>

Concubine Chun is only thirteen years old, and she has just entered junior high school in later generations! She should indeed continue to study at this age.&1t;/p>

"I don't want it! Sister Baozhu and Sister Qingzhi can teach me." Concubine Chun shook her head when she heard it. Zhu Youxiao had a headache for this and said, "That Baozhu, Qingzhi, you two use more snacks."&1t;/p>

"I understand." Zhang Yan nodded and smiled. Wang Qingzhi hugged Duan Yueyao's neck, reached out to scratch Duan Yueyao's waist, and said, "If Xiao Yue'er doesn't study hard, let's see how her sister punishes you."&1t;/p>

Duan Yueyao was giggled like a pistachio, and she had a moment of fighting. Li Chaoqing and Qian Guoxing, who were waiting on the side, were a little amused and crying, and quickly bowed their heads.&1t;/p>

"What important memorial is there today?" Zhu Youxiao flipped over the memorial on the table and asked Li Chaoqing and Qian Guoxing.&1t;/p>

"Report to the Emperor, from the Royal Military Factory to Liaodong and Dongjiang Town, the other border troops submitted memorials to ask for military weapons, totaling 305,600 kilograms."&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao picked up the memorial, opened it and looked carefully, and then asked Zhang Yan and Wang Qingzhi: "Empress, Liang Concubine, what do you think?"&1t;/p>

"I know very little about military affairs, but the emperor did not say that there is cheap steel for military factories. Military weapons are of good quality and low price. If there is enough money and food, you can give it some." Zhang Yan replied. Wang Qingzhi said, "If the border military weapons are really unusable, they will be given. If the troops are not intact, how can you defend the enemy outside the country? What does the emperor think?"&1t;/p>

"I think that the military discipline of the Nine Borders is incomplete, and the military weapons may not be able to reach the hands of the soldiers. It is very likely that they will be sold to merchants by military officers in the middle of the journey. It won't take long to run to Jiannu." Zhu Youxiao thought about it and said that he seemed extremely cautious about the issue of the Nine Borders. Often, Ming soldiers could not live a life and sold their weapons and armor. However, the servants raised by the military officers within the Ming army were only a few people and could not digest so many weapons and equipment at all. These weapons and equipment were naturally sold to wild boar skin.&1t;/p>

Now these border troops are time bombs one by one. The reason why the Ming Dynasty was overthrown by the peasant army was mainly because a large number of border troops were forced to rebel and joined the peasant army, which gave the peasant army military qualities.&1t;/p>

So at this time, Zhu Youxiao gave the border army military pay, no matter how big the hole is, it must be filled in. But if he had to ask his military weapons, he really had to consider it.&1t;/p>

After going deep into the explanation with the queen and Liangfei, they began to officially enter the learning stage. What they wanted to learn was nothing more than correct judgment ability, as well as their handling philosophy and guidelines.&1t;/p>

"All these memorials that are begging for military weapons are reserved!" Zhu Youxiao finally decided that it was obviously a relatively urgent problem to rectify the border army. Although the border army was not as decayed as the Chongzhen period at this time, it had already become such a tendency. Military officers were increasingly bullying ordinary military households, and natural disasters were more frequent. If this trend continues, the general year can still be maintained, but once it encounters a disaster year, it will all rely on the imperial court to allocate military pay. Once even the military pay allocated by the imperial court is embezzled, it will be time for the border army to rebel.&1t;/p>

But there is no specific plan for how to rectify the border army. If you take action rashly, it will easily touch the interests of the military officer group. If you don’t handle it well, it will easily cause chaos.&1t;/p>&1t;/p>
