Traveling back in time as Zhu Zhanji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty, he woke up with an unsolvable situation: his life span was less than five years, and it was inevitable that the civil fortress behind him would be defeated, the civil service would be dominated, the sea frontier would be abandoned, and border troubles would continue.
There are many hidden dangers inside: the aftermath of the Han Dynasty's rebellion is still lingering, King Ning and King Jin hate to cut down the feudal vassal, bribe the imperial doctor to secretly secretly secrete cold medicine all year round, and collude with the grassland tribes to plot a mutiny; the queens and concubines in the harem each have their own agendas, and undercurrents are surging.
In the court hall, the three Yang factions have different political views, and the three parties of conservative, strong military, and worshiping rites are competing. Local officials exploit the people by exploiting the half-open sea ban, and the Constitution of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is in a state of decay.
There are dangers from all sides outside: the Uliangha and Wala invaders continue to invade northern territory, the coastal guard posts are in disrepair, Japanese pirates are frequently spying on them, and Western strong ships are unknown, hiding great dangers that last for thousands of years.
Knowing that his time was running out and he had no time to enjoy himself, he planned every step:
Kill the vassal king's guards without bloodshed, and eliminate corruption in both the government and the public with an iron fist;
Lifting the maritime ban, expanding naval recruitment, mass-producing new types of firecrackers, and setting up a navigation academy to survey and map global charts;
Open up the land Silk Road and trade on both sea and land lines to fill the national treasury;
Use the cabinet to check and balance, and the royal guards to cover the sky, waiting for rebellion and foreign enemies to fall into the trap.
A broken body and a broken lamp can reverse the decline of the Ming Dynasty and expand the territory of thousands of miles of mountains and seas. Clean up the administration of officials in the north and south;
Use the remaining life span as a bargaining chip to clear away the worms in the court internally, and frighten the barbarians from all directions externally.
Even if you are suffering from erysipelas and your body is exhausted day and night, you must lay the foundation for the three hundred years of Ming Dynasty before the end.
Successive generations of emperors from the Zhu family worked hard, and finally the Ming Dynasty broke free from the shackles of time, stood at the top of the world, and created an unparalleled and prosperous dynasty!
