Quotes from Zhu Houzhao, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty: "I don't keep useless people around me." "You still have the nerve to ask me why I appoint eunuchs? If you can do it, you can do it! If you can't, don't nag." "You are an official, what's the use of you if you don't nag!" "What? We want to abolish the ministerial officials? Also remove the supervisors who paid food donations to the prisons and Zuyin!" "Why are the number of refugees increasing? Because the court is harsh, the corvee is heavy, and the officials and gentry do not pay taxes!" The officials are too difficult, and it is difficult for the prince to deal with them. ----"Officials boasted about Hongzhi's resurgence, but my father believed it? The fact is that the Ming Dynasty... Declined!" Emperor Hongzhi thought silently in his heart: This is his own and only son! ---- Zhu Houzhao, who was feared by officials, eunuchs, and everyone in the world, stood with his hands behind his back. He had a little secret that he could not tell others. He lives on attention.
