Chapter 387 The end of an era(1/2)
The naughty child has been a headache since ancient times, especially in the Ming Dynasty, especially when Zhu Laosi was still alive, Zhu Qizhen, the four-legged gold-swalking beast in Zhu Zhanji's family and Yang Rui, the four-legged gold-swalking beast in Yang Shaofeng's family, lived to be lawless.
It is usually considered a pediatric department to flirt with cats and dogs in Yangjiazhuang. It is even more common to ride a dog and play a general in war. Even if these two divine beasts sneak into the palace and smash walnuts with jade seals, it is nothing strange.
But Zhu Laosi also spoiled these two divine beasts.
The result is that these two divine beasts are even more lawless
Zhu Qizhen and Yang Rui didn't know what they thought, so the two divine beasts pulled another group of divine beasts to become sworn brothers, and then prepared to run away from home together, intending to go to the Western Regions to help Zhu Gaoxu fight.
Unfortunately, the divine beasts have not grown up yet, so these young divine beasts are not secretly acting. They are caught by their respective parents before they have left the Yang Family Village ten miles away.
The two initiators, including Zhu Qizhen and Yang Rui, knew that Hu Shanxiang and Lin Tang had already prepared their whips, and before they could get home, the two divine beasts sent people to fish two carp weighing four or five kilograms in the fish pond, and then escaped into the palace under the name of giving gifts to their great-grandfather...
"So you're here to eat and drink?"
Zhu Zhanji said dissatisfiedly: "As soon as those two divine beasts enter the palace, can I rush into the palace and beat them up or catch them both?"
After paying homage to Zhu Gaochi, Yang Shaofeng found a chair and sat down. He stretched his waist boredly, and then directly said to the border town beside Zhu Zhanji: "I'll go and prepare some wine and food, I won't go back today."
Zhu Gaochi stopped the border town and said with a smile: "Don't prepare. I just said that I would ask Zhanji to come and find you. Now you are here."
Originally planned to eat and drink, but Zhu Gaochi was caught as a coolie. Yang Shaofeng felt that he was really suffering. However, what was even more suffering was that in addition to Zhu Gaochi, there was also Zhu Zhanji who wanted to capture Yang Shaofeng as a coolie.
Zhu Zhanji said that when it comes to fooling people into wheelchairs, this is what Yang Dianma is best at. As a good brother, it is time to contribute to himself.
So Zhu Zhanji took Yang Shaofeng and he went to receive the envoys of the vassal kings and vassal states.
...
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
On December 20, the 24th day of the 24th year of Yongle, the shouts of tsunami like mountains and seas declared the end of the Yongle reign.
From December 21, the 24th year of Yongle, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty became Zhu Gaochi, with the reign of Hong Xi, and Zhu Laosi finally ended his rule over the Ming Dynasty.
However, the Emperor of the Zhu family never felt worry-free, including Zhu Laosi, who gave the emperor to Zhu Gaochi.
affairs of state?
Is it because I stayed in Yangjiazhuang to see that the child was not fun, or is it because I went to the Royal Academy to make trouble?
The government affairs are Zhu Gaochi's rich and magnificent matter. What does it have to do with me, the emperor?
After throwing away the power of civil and military power, even the Jinyiwei and the East Factory were completely thrown to Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Laosi, who no longer had to worry about the Ming Dynasty, chose to completely let himself go.
As for Zhu Gaochi, who ascended the throne, after the excitement of the first two days passed, he began to count his days with his fingers.
A year is 365 days, ten years is 3650 days, and another 3648 days, the throne can be thrown to Zhu Zhanji's coolie, and I can let myself go like I am the same as my father...
At that time, I will find a place to plant a few acres of land, raise two cows, go to farm during the day, and when I go home at night, I will use hot water to serve the uneasy father's feet. Isn't this day more interesting than being an emperor?
Yes, in just two days, Zhu Gaochi was already annoyed by this emperor.
The Ministry of Revenue said that it would count Yongle's expenditure and surplus in the 24th year, and by the way, it would be a good financial plan for the first year of Hongxi. However, the treasury was so empty that it could run away from rats. Can the emperor use the treasury to support the treasury?
The Ministry of Works said that it would make a good summary of the work of Yongle for 24 years, and also plan the river bridges, palace renovation and other matters in the first year of Hongxi. In addition, I heard that there is a steam locomotive in the Royal Academy. Should I try it out if I have a road?
The Ministry of Rites said that you have become emperors, should you give me an encore?
The Ministry of War said that there were 300,000 soldiers who should have retired in the first year of Hongxi, but there is no specific statement on how to recruit soldiers. Should you give me an idea?
The Ministry of Personnel said that the emperor left a lot of pitfalls, and the matters that were organized for the minor officials have not yet achieved any results. But the dozens of additional prefectures still need a large number of officials. Do you have any good opinions?
The Ministry of Justice said that the new emperor ascended the throne and should have amnesty for the world, but the Ming Dynasty still had nearly two million coolies. Is these coolies within the scope of amnesty for the world?
The only thing that is worry-free is probably the only one in the Genshin Imperial Guards and the East Factory.
Now the Governor's Office of the Five Army is cooperating with Zhu Gaoxu to use troops in the Western Regions. As long as the Ministry of War solves the problems of troops and logistics, the Military Office does not want to participate in the broken affairs in the court at all.
It was precisely those messy things that made Zhu Gaochi's head explode.
Even if the prince had had many experience in governing the country, even if Zhu Laosi had taught all government officials several times before, Zhu Gaochi, who had truly taken the throne, realized that the prince and the emperor were different.
Then Zhu Gaochi chose the same routine as Zhu Laosi.
Treason the prince.
As the saying goes, dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes. Zhu Laosi cheated Zhu Gaochi, but now Zhu Gaochi plans to cheat Zhu Zhanji
Zhu Zhanji, who has officially been upgraded to the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, is now completely finished. A large number of memorials were thrown to him for processing. When Zhu Gaochi turned around, he would be considered a person-shaped seal, even if he lived together...
Only Yang Shaofeng, a salted fish, was still free and did not have to work hard to handle the memorials like those two coolies.
But this doesn't mean that Yang Shaofeng is really free.
"There was such a tea tree in the imperial palace in Jinling."
After hoeing the tea tree, Zhu Laosi sat on the hoe placed horizontally: "Your great-grandfather regards that tea tree as a treasure, and no one is allowed to touch it. Why do you think?"
Yang Shaofeng played an excellent supporting actor in a timely manner: "Why?"
Zhu Laosi sighed and said, "The imperial tea that was paid tribute at that time was a large and small dragon group, you should know this.
However, this thing is cumbersome and labor-intensive. The tributes are even more labor-intensive. Tea farmers are suffering from labor labor. Your great-grandfather simply stops sending tribute dragon groups and only allows tea buds. In this way, the people will suffer less.
Later, your great-grandfather and your great-grandmother planted such a tea tree in the palace, planting tea, picking tea, and stir-frying tea by themselves.
Unfortunately, your great grandma left early, and the tea tree became his only support for grief. At that time, I thought, it would be great if I could serve that tea tree with your great grandfather."
Yang Shaofeng also sighed and said, "I'm afraid that my great-grandfather will be regarded as a sinner who is a mentally retarded person in a few hundred years."
That's the truth.
Mulch tea is the powder made of tea leaves. The so-called matcha in the tea ceremony is a simplified version of this thing
"Select the best tender buds, crush them into the scattered scatter, mix them into the brain, mix them together, mix them in the same way, print them into cakes, make them with the recipe, wait for dryness, and still moisten them with the ointment oil. The preparation is big, and the small dragon ball has a hip. This product is only a contribution, which is rare among the people."
Zhu Chongba banned this kind of dragon decorative group that was rare among the people and was only used for tribute and high-level officials to show off and enjoy. The Boxer Imperial issued in the 24th year of Hongwu officially abolished the tomb tea in the form of national laws, and from then on, only loose tea was collected:
"The four local teas in the fourth day of the country were given the highest priority in Jianning Yangxian. It was still the Song Dynasty. It was crushed and kneaded and made into a large and small dragon group. In September of the 24th year of Hongwu, the emperor paid great efforts to build tea. Only the tea buds were picked to advance."
The tea utensil that can best carry the tea powder method (tea-making method) is undoubtedly Jianzhan.
Then Jianzhan and Mocha slowly disappeared in the Central Plains tea ceremony.
However, sadly, many people do not remember or selectively forget Zhu Yuanzhang's painstaking efforts, nor do they consider the fact that the Ming Dynasty was poor and all the gold and silver were plundered by Tieguo Ge to Mobei. They only remember that he destroyed Mocha and Jianzhan.
However, Japan has never banned it, and nobles can still drink the best matcha.
"And what? What else can you do?"
Zhu Laosi said disrespectfully: "What the mouth is on others. What others are willing to say is their business. Can you still kill everyone?
Didn’t there be any legend that I killed Fang Xiaoru’s ten clans, and some people say that I cut three thousand palace maids alive?
I believe that your great-grandfather has a clear conscience, and I also have a clear conscience. Let them tell you right and wrong, merits and demerits, are originally something that future generations can judge."
"Where is the tea tree?"
Yang Shaofeng changed the topic and asked, "When we moved the capital to Shuntian Mansion, why didn't you bring that tea tree together?"
When talking about the tea tree again, Zhu Laosi's face became extremely gloomy: "Where is the tea tree?
At that time, your grandfather went there early, and your grandfather chose Zhu Yunwen, the waste, so he asked him to serve the tea tree with him.
What a pity, your great-grandfather has been a hero all his life, but he has taken a look away when he is old. As soon as he left, Zhu Yunwen's animal husbandry destroyed the tea tree!"
Zhu Laosi became more and more angry as he spoke. He punched the hoe under him and said angrily: "He actually has the face to burn himself!
If he only cut Zhu Gui's vassal, he would let him cut it off. After all, Zhu Gui is not a good thing, and I have long wanted to kill him.
But Zhu Jing, Zhu Zi, Zhu Bai, Zhu Xi, and Zhu Xi did something wrong? I was in Peking at that time and almost had to pretend to be crazy and protect myself. He still wanted me to die! This beast!
He didn't eat enough, and he couldn't do anything. He was the first to favor those corrupt scholars! Your great-grandfather was also blind at that time, why did he pick such a waste!"
"Eliminate the breath."
Yang Shaofeng hurriedly handed a bowl of tea and advised: "Anyway, he can't even find the dust now, what are you still skating about with him?"
Zhu Laosi took the tea and drank it all, and cursed angrily: "This is a waste! He can't even see who he should rely on, and he deserves it to be unable to find ashes!"
It was not until Yang Shaofeng's four-legged gold-swalking beast danced and ran over on Ergou that Yang Shaofeng's ears were cleared. Computer::/
"Great Grandpa, this is my goose. I'll invite you to eat a big goose stewed with iron pot!"
Yang Rui threw the big goose in his hand that was grabbed by his head in front of Zhu Laosi, and shouted proudly: "My father's big goose is so fragrant!"
Zhu Laosi's angry look just now disappeared in a blink of an eye. He smiled and touched Yang Rui's little head and said, "Okay, let's eat big goose today.
Also, be careful to slow down next time. If you accidentally fall and cry, you will be hurt, grandpa will not coax you."
Turning his head and glaring at Yang Shaofeng, Zhu Laosi changed his appearance again: "Why are you still standing there? Didn't you listen to the child saying you want to invite me to eat a big goose? No one with a conscience can't compare to a child!"
...
Yang Shaofeng, who was lying on the recliner, had already begun to doubt his life.
He is chattering, holding grudges, cursing people, changing faces, and spoiling children too much. Such a bad old man is actually the Emperor Zhu Laosi of Yongle who fought against the north of Mo and 7 voyages to the West in history?
History books are all lies!
I plant tea trees in Yangjiazhuang every day, and I don’t even see how it is Shuntian Mansion. Can the broken climate of this place grow the good tea from the south?
The key is that if you like to plant tea trees, you should plant them slowly. Why do you pull me as a coolie every day?
