"Father, the Zhang brothers are wreaking havoc on the people, selling their official positions, killing people and setting fires. They commit all kinds of evil. The crimes they commit can be cut in half ten times. Why should my father feel pity for them?"

"They are pitiful, aren't the people who suffer from them pitiful?!"

"I dare to ask, is my father the emperor of their Zhang family or the emperor of the Ming Dynasty?!"

The young man Zhu Houzhao who came with him saw his father's expression and said sternly, his words full of reprimands and questions.

In the past, of course he would not have dared to talk to Zhu Youtang like this.

But now that the immortal master is by your side, why not dare?

I had been holding it in my heart for a long time, and I said everything I wanted to say in one go.

Ji Boying, who was standing in the middle, glanced at the young Zhu Houzhao, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes, but he also sighed in his heart.

Lament that history is impermanent, lament that history is ruthless.

If it weren't for the exponential growth of the civil service group during the Hongzhi Dynasty, and if it weren't for the civil service group that restricted the imperial power in Zhu Houzhao's hands, perhaps the Ming Dynasty would have taken a completely new and different direction during the Zhengde Dynasty.

After all, Zhu Houzhao was the first since Yongle to take the initiative to establish a maritime ban and the first to be interested in countries around the world.

Let’s look at what Zhu Houzhao did. After Xiaozong’s death, before Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, as the crown prince, he ordered that the officers and soldiers in the Beijing camp be dismissed from service.

Looking back at the border preparations of the Hongzhi Dynasty, in the second month after he ascended the throne, Zhu Houzhao issued an order to recruit troops, clarifying rewards and punishments. Those who beheaded prisoners at the first level would be given thirty taels of silver, and those who wished to be promoted would be promoted as usual, which was quite the style of Qin Wu. .

It can also be seen from this that even as a boy, Zhu Houzhao actually deeply hated many of the bad policies during the Hongzhi period, and he could not even wait until he ascended the throne to start making adjustments.

As for the relatives, not even the civil servants of the Black Wuzong can do anything about it.

Historical records are very clear: Emperor Wuzong was born in Sushu.

After Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, he struck hard at his mother's Zhang family. Regardless of the opposition of the Queen Mother Zhang, he forcibly removed Yan Yin from his maternal relatives.

After verification, there were more than one million.

In October of the sixth year of Zhengde, Zhang Yanling asked for a burial place for his dead concubine. Wu Zong not only refused to give it to him, but also scolded him and almost had Zhang Yanling punished.

All of the above, regarding the matter of his maternal relatives, in order to correct the bad governance of Hongzhi, Zhu Houzhao paid the price of breaking with his mother and queen.

Even before Zhu Houzhao's death, there was no record of Empress Dowager Zhang visiting him in the history books.

As the old saying goes, it is the father's fault if he fails to raise his children.

But looking at the entire feudal dynasty, a promising king usually has a good mother, at least this mother does not bother.

Or, there is no mother at all.

As for the Xuande Sun family and the Hongzhi Zhang family, one is overly doting on his son, and the other is Voldemort who only cares about his mother's family, which is really harmful to the country.

Being questioned on the spot by his son, Zhu Youtang felt ashamed, but he couldn't say anything.

Because, these are all facts.

"Master Immortal, I don't know what else I need to do."

Zhu Youtang took a deep breath and looked at Ji Boying beside him.

He didn't understand the immortal master's intention of bringing him back to the Meridian Gate to face all the officials. Could it be that he wanted to chop all the officials in half?

Ji Boying frowned and glanced at Zhu Youtang.

"What do you think?"

Zhu Youtang was stunned.
