My Daming New Empire

"So, can you find a way to do it once and for all?"

"Father, this is impossible. Social changes are happening all the time. Just like Confucianism, they are beneficial at the beginning of a dynasty, but later they will gradually become a burden for a country. Any policy, today It seems appropriate, but, in a few years, it may not be appropriate."

Zhu Gaochi pondered for a long while before asking again: "Elder, who did you listen to all these?"

Zhu Zhanji didn't care about him at all, smiled and said: "Who do you think can teach me? I have analyzed these problems myself. When I was six years old, I already regarded myself as a An emperor, then I will naturally regard how to maintain the imperial power as the biggest goal. This is the art of the emperor."

"What is the art of the emperor?"

"The way of governing the country, judging people and employing people, maneuvering and controlling, and the art of domination, including hundreds of schools, these are the core of the emperor's art. The most important thing for an emperor is to learn to balance...to balance the forces of all parties, and not let anyone One family grows bigger."

Zhu Gaochi sighed suddenly: "I'm not as smart as my elder brother."

"Born in an emperor's family, you must not be deceived by the family's words, otherwise you will be like Zhao Gao and Li Si of Qin II."

"Can……"

Zhu Zhanji smiled and said: "Father, there is no need to rush to change. It is good to know what to do. Confucianism can be used, but Confucianism can't be used."

Chapter 19 Names and Devices

The north wind was cold, and when he came out of the warm room, Zhu Zhanji tightened his robe and walked to Xingqing Palace first.

Li Liang followed behind him and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, at least four people wanted to approach the study to spy."

"Regardless of them, are the annual ceremony ready?"

"It's all ready,...but, it's a serious crime to deceive the emperor like this!"

"It's good to know, so keep your mouths shut."

Except for Li Liang, the other twelve eunuchs didn't know what was going on, but they all knelt down with Li Liang at this moment. "The slave dare not, the life of the slave belongs to the grandson." 1

Zhu Zhanji's expression relaxed and he waved his hand. "It's freezing cold, don't kneel at every turn, as long as you know it in your heart."

Xingqing Palace is located at the north-south center of the city wall on the east side of the palace. To the south are the Hall of Spring Harmony and the Hall of Wenhua, and to the north are the Hall of Dashan and the Hall of Feilong.On the west side are the three halls at the center of the palace.

Now there is only Zhu Zhanji as the master in this palace, but there are more than 100 palace maids and more than [-] eunuchs.

Zhu Zhanji's bedroom is on the west first floor of the main hall, but he prefers to live on the second floor west of Xingqing Palace.Because here, you can see most of the east side of the palace.

Entering the lobby, the former Xue Zhangwei and now Xue Shanggong led several high-ranking maids to welcome them. "His Highness is back, do you want to wash up now?"

In the fifth year of Yongle, Empress Xu passed away, and a group of maids were released in the palace.In the tenth year of Yongle, Zhu Di accepted Zhu Zhanji's suggestion and released another group of court ladies.

Fu Dianyi was released because he was over thirty.

Xue Zhangwei could also leave at that time, but she had no one to rely on in her family, and she was unwilling to leave, and was willing to serve Zhu Zhanji in the palace.

Now she is nearly 300 years old, and she has also become the general manager of Xingqing Palace. She is in charge of more than [-] court ladies, which can be said to be under one person and over a hundred.

Zhu Zhanji treats her well and is not a person who loves power, so she can live comfortably in the palace, which is much better than being married to a husband after going out.

"I'm going to the practice room to practice, and let people prepare the bath water."

"Yes."

The two priests in the palace were not allowed to come in and out at will. They didn't know that Zhu Zhanji basically practiced parkour now.

Zhu Zhanji was born in 1398, and now at the end of Yongle's 11th year, that is, in 1413, he is not yet sixteen years old.

So he didn't dare to beat his body casually, and only dared to focus on technical exercises.

Parkour is not just about being cool, but a very good way to practice the coordination and coordination of all parts of the body.

He has now practiced Baduanjin, Taiji Neijiaquan, and Songxi Neijiaquan, also known as Dapeng Shun Qigong, which is of the same line as Taiji Neijiaquan.

Coupled with Kundalini yoga and parkour, his foundation is not worse than his previous life, or even better.

Although his strength is still a little weak due to physical limitations, his experience and skills have been fully recovered.

Now if he confronts head-to-head, he is still not the opponent of the two masters, but if they really fight, the two masters cannot be his opponent.

Because he has mastered fighting experience and skills hundreds of years ahead of them, the effectiveness of these movements can stand scientific verification.

The practice room is the hall on the east side of the main hall, with an area of ​​about 200 square meters.Inside, Zhu Zhanji asked people to lay a log floor, and then polished and glazed it.

In this way, the room is not like other halls with bluestone and gold bricks as the ground, which is much more comfortable.

Because of his pioneering work, almost every room in the palace is now covered with wooden floors.

Although it was very cold in the room, Zhu Zhanji, who was only wearing unlined clothes, adjusted his breath, and jumped around in the room again, sweating all over.

Going out from the back door is a steaming bathroom.A large stove boils water outside, and then through an iron pipe made of iron sheets, the hot water is continuously sent directly into the bath more than one meter deep.

Zhu Zhanji also asked people to build a drainage pipe, which can directly drain water into the pool outside, water the flowers and sprinkle water at ordinary times, and can also fight fires in case of fire.

It has to be said that this bathroom has spread in the palace again. It is said that even Zhu Di now likes to soak in the boiling hot tub for a while every day.

A few years ago, some people were proposing to move the capital, but the palace here is so comfortable, and there are many people who oppose it, so Zhu Di no longer mentioned the matter of moving the capital.

Zhu Zhanji entered the bathroom, and four little girls in only unlined clothes came up to him, helped Zhu Zhanji untie his bun, and took off his clothes.

Zhu Zhanji soaked in a hot wooden barrel soaked in Chinese herbal medicine for nearly 10 minutes before jumping into the nearby bath.

At this time, the four little maids also took off their clothes one by one, and accompanied Zhu Zhanji into the bath.

Facing the young and immature girl, the young body revealed a ferocious ugliness.But Zhu Zhanji didn't care, and the little girls didn't care, taking it as a matter of course.

It is also a matter of course.

But Zhu Zhanji is still a virgin so far, because he practices Taoist Kung Fu.Coupled with the experience of practicing kung fu in the previous life, I clearly know that my kidney water is not solid now, and my kung fu has not yet achieved a small amount.

So apart from taking advantage of what he had, he didn't indulge himself.

He is not a real virgin, and he can't stand a little temptation.

In the first life, he experienced at least hundreds of women, beauties from all over the world.

Although there are fewer women in the second life, the quality is higher.

Therefore, he has enough stamina to face these immature little girls who are like bean sprouts.

The imperial palace system in the Ming Dynasty was the most inhumane. The old Zhu’s family in the imperial palace had no more than a few dozen people, but there were tens of thousands of eunuchs, at most more than 10.There are also a lot of court ladies, and they are all counted in tens of thousands.

The eunuchs still have the opportunity to go outside to see the world, but most of these court ladies entered the palace at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and all of them lived alone all their lives.

Moreover, many court ladies were younger, and were sent to the palace at only a few years old. The palace rules were strict, and many of them would not even live to become adults.
