Zhao Han smiled bitterly: "That's all, that's all, I'm too lazy to ask you for poison. Just die how you want. It's difficult to end the pain early. As a plan, I will abdicate and become the Supreme Emperor, and I will no longer interfere with the government's affairs."

Zhao Kuanghuan was a little confused when he heard this. He was already 51 years old and had longed to be emperor. Sometimes he even wondered when his father would die.

Now that he was finally going to be emperor, Zhao Kuanghuan was not excited, but felt all kinds of sadness and melancholy.

Half a month later, Zhao Han abdicated and the new emperor ascended the throne.

At this age, Zhao Kuanghuan no longer has any ambitions. He feels that his father's policies are very good, and Xiao Gui and Cao can just continue to use them. There is no need to mess around with new policies.

In order to express his political attitude, Zhao Kuanghuan ordered a clean-up of the officialdom. While the Supervisory Office was cleaning up officials in the capital, a large number of honest officials were sent to inspect local areas. However, those who engaged in corruption, bribery, and malpractice for personal gain would be dealt with severely, without mentioning the amnesty of the world at all. Waiting for the purge of officials

After that, we will conduct an inventory of the land next year and severely punish those who occupy and buy and sell private land.

All those with ulterior motives in both the government and the public were crushed.

They had long thought about changing the emperor, but they didn't expect that the first thing the new emperor would do after he ascended the throne would be like this.

In fact, the New Deal also included a suspension of external expansion. Military spending was really too high, and the imperial court owed more than 60 million taels of silver to the bank.

The hawkish officials are very dissatisfied. They also want to capture the South Philippine Islands. How can they get promoted without fighting?

In the autumn of that year, the navy stationed in Luzon had an exchange of fire with the Spanish fleet. The two sides exchanged artillery fire for half an hour (it was actually the Datong navy that chased the Spanish navy and fought for half an hour).

The navy then reported to the court that it had been ambushed by the Spanish fleet and requested a blockade of major ports in the South Philippine Islands.

Zhao Kuanghuan was furious after receiving the report. The navy regarded him as a fool. How could those broken Spanish ships take the initiative to attack the Datong Navy?

The admiral of the navy stationed in Luzon was directly dismissed by Zhao Kuanghuan, and he ordered the Ministry of War, the Navy Commander's Office, and the Supervisory Office to jointly go to Luzon to investigate the details of the matter.
