Jiao Fang thought he knew Zhou Chong very well, but he really didn't expect that Zhou Chong was carrying such a big secret. The governor in front of him was not actually Zhou's surname, but Zhu Houwei, the former emperor.

With the Empress Dowager's second son, His Majesty's elder brother!

"This...this..." Jiao Fang was stunned for a moment when he heard Zhou Chong telling his true identity. He really didn't know how to react to this palace secret?

Zhou Chong saw Jiao Fang's appearance and thought the other party was still doubting his identity. He immediately pulled out an imperial edict from the secret wall under his desk. Zhou Chong handed it to Jiao Fang and said, "Gei Jiao, this

It was an imperial edict written by the emperor's brother to prove my identity. In addition, there was also an imperial edict with my mother. And according to the emperor's brother, I was stolen from the palace by the thief, except for some people in the palace.

The three old ministers Li Dongyang, Liu Jian and Xie Qian also knew that, and after returning to the capital, the emperor had already told Li Dongyang about my identity, which is one of the reasons why the cabinet has never asked much about my Governor's Office.

”

Jiao Fang, who was still shocked, instinctively reached out to take the imperial edict, opened it and looked at it, but found that it was indeed the imperial edict written by Zhengde, and it was true that Zhou Chong said that even the Queen Mother and Li Dongdongyang could do it for him.

By making a certificate, what Zhou Chong said just now will be even more credible.

Thinking that Zhou Chong in front of him was Emperor Zhengde's only younger brother, and Zhengde had no descendants, Jiao Fang suddenly felt ecstatic. If Zhou Chong or his son could inherit the throne, then he would be the most by Zhou Chong's side.

A close adviser may be in the cabinet again in the future. By then, Jiao Fang will be able to make a comeback and will even be even more brilliant than before.

Thinking of this, Jiao Fang also felt a lot of passion in his heart. Although he is old, his fame and fortune have not weakened at all. Even if he is about to die tomorrow, as long as he can be the chief minister of the cabinet for one day today, then

Jiao Fang would be willing, but in the past it seemed that this was just Jiao Fang's luxury. But now because of Zhou Chong's identity, he saw real hope. At the same time, Jiao Fang finally understood that Emperor Zhengde had given him

The reason why they arranged it with Zhang Cai to Zhou Chong is probably that they can make a comeback with Zhou Chong's identity.

Zhou Chong saw the ecstatic expression on Jiao Fangli, and he didn't understand what the other party was thinking. However, he had expected this a long time ago. He could only smile helplessly and wait for Jiao Fang himself.

Calm down.

After a while, Jiao Fang finally woke up from the excitement. He looked at Zhou Chong with a little embarrassed look. He bowed and said, "Don't blame Governor, Jiao lost his composure just now."

"Haha. It's okay, Zhou just told the Pavilion Master about this. Actually, he wanted to hear the Pavilion Master's opinion. After all, according to my current situation, it is not difficult to enter Beijing, but after entering Beijing, he will definitely be the emperor's brother.

I will reveal my original identity, so that I will become a vassal king in the Ming Dynasty. According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, I can only go to other places to go to the vassal states, and I will never be able to enter the capital forever without conscripts. In this way, I can only watch it

Jiang Bin is in power!" Zhou Chong said with a bitter smile.

It was a helpless move for him to tell Jiao Fang about his identity. After all, Zhou Chong is already unsure of his mind, and Jinxuan cannot give him a good advice. In comparison, Jiao Fang has been in the officialdom for many years, which is a

He is knowledgeable and cunning, so Zhou Chong believes that Jiao Fang will definitely give Zhou Chong a reasonable suggestion.

Jiao Fang did not disappoint Zhou Chong. He saw that he pondered for a moment after hearing this, and finally chuckled and said, "Mr. Governor is really worried. According to the laws of our Ming Dynasty, the vassal kings really need to go to other places to take vassals.

, However, Your Majesty's current situation is special. He has never been able to give birth to children in the palace, and there are no other brothers. In this way, the Governor is the only relative of His Majesty except the Empress Dowager. Therefore, as long as you obtain the consent of Your Majesty, the Governor will be

It is not difficult for adults to stay in the capital in the future!”

As the saying goes, one word awakens the dreamer. Zhou Chong himself got into a horn before and always thought about the laws of the Ming Dynasty, but he forgot that the Ming Dynasty was still an era when the imperial power was greater than the rule of law, and then the world was

It can be said that only Zhengde is unwilling to let Zhou Chong go, so Zhou Chong can stay in the capital forever.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhong couldn't help feeling relaxed. Zhengde has been raised in the palace since he was a child, and he has no other brothers and sisters to accompany him. Empress Dowager Zhang doesn't care much about him. Zhengde has actually been a lack of care.

Those who grew up in the environment were very eager for family affection. Unfortunately, Xiaozong was too busy to take care of Zhengde at all. So in this case, Zhengde could only feel a trace of family affection from Bahu and others around him, which was exactly the same.

His special feelings for Bahu made Liu Jin and others powerful. Although Liu Jin is dead now, Zhang Yong and others are still in great power.

However, what Bahu and others gave Zhengde only a feeling similar to family affection, which cannot be considered a real relationship. Zhou Chong is different. He is Zhengde's younger brother, and Zhengde also trusts him very much. This has been the same as Zhengde before.

His support can be seen, and since the last meeting, there has never been a letter between Zhengde and Zhou Chong. Although the two cannot meet frequently, their brotherhood is much deeper than before.

It is precisely because of this kind of family support that Zhou Chong was sure to let Zhengde go against the public and then leave himself in the capital. After all, Zhengde was too lonely, and his wife Empress Xia had a bad relationship with him. As a result,

Zhengde usually can't even find someone to have a heart-to-heart talk, and if Zhou Chong went to the capital, he could just fill the gap in family affection.

In addition to feelings, Zhou Chong has another reliance. As far as he knows, although Xu Qi was in charge of the military academy in Beijing, he also selected elite generals from the border army as generals, and Zhou was the previous one.

The detailed plan that was rewritten was supposed to be very good at Beijing Army Military Academy, but in fact, in addition to the fact that there was a new atmosphere at the beginning, Beijing Army Military Academy began to intervene in the military academy with Jiang Bin's rise.

As a result, Xu Qi could not stop Jiang Bin's clutch for a while, resulting in the current management chaos in the military academy. After seeing Jiang Bin's example, many instructors in the military academy began to flatter Zhengde one by one, hoping to

This is where you can get the level of promotion.

It can be said that it was Jiang Bin, a bad example, that the entire military academy had a very good style of work, which began to slowly change, and the entire military academy even became chaotic. Xu Qi almost had a case of the old country's arrogance, and he wanted to resign several times, but

They were rejected by Zhengde, but they could only suffer in the military academy. They watched their hard work be ruined, but Zhengde was blinded by Jiang Bin and did not realize that the current military academy was no longer the same as before.

However, although Zhengde was deceived by Jiang Bin, Zhou Chong knew that the other party was not confused. If he came forward, Zhengde would definitely see the changes in the Beijing Army Military Academy. This would definitely not tolerate Zhengde, who likes martial arts, for Zhengde, who likes martial arts, it would be absolutely unwilling tolerate it.

Yes, if Zhou Chong proposed to take charge of the military academy himself at this time, Zhengde would definitely agree at that time. After all, in comparison, Songjiang's naval academy is extremely outstanding. Now the earliest batch of quick-success officers have begun to be in the Nanyang Fleet.

Become a commander.

Of course, military academy is only one aspect, and Zhou Chong finally has another reliance, that is, with the expansion of the Ming Dynasty's maritime power, overseas threats have been minimized. At the same time, the domestic situation has eliminated the refugees caused by land annexation, and the national treasury has also been eliminated.

It is becoming more and more abundant, especially the grain output is rising year by year. Now sweet potatoes are already rotten, and many people have started feeding livestock with sweet potatoes.

Although there are still many problems in the Ming Dynasty, such as the prevalence of corruption among officials, the corruption of the army, the rigidity of the imperial examination, etc. If these problems are not solved, they will still bring serious crises to the Ming Dynasty in the future.

However, the above problems cannot be solved in one or two days, and Zhou Chong is also slowly resolving these problems through Zhengde. For example, the establishment of a military academy is a reform of the corruption of military academy and a challenge to the civil servant group.

If they allow the civil servant group to continue to be corrupt, then why should they fight against the united military general group in the future?

It can be said that the current situation in the Ming Dynasty is unprecedentedly good, but the Tatars in the north are the confidants of the Ming Dynasty. The frequent robbery from south to rob, which caused serious disasters to the people of the Ming Dynasty. Now the Ming Dynasty has sufficient national strength, and it is time to solve this grassland.

A bunch of savages.

Zhengde’s greatest wish is to be able to personally lead the army to sweep the grassland like the Emperor Chengzu he admires the most and make great achievements. No one knows Zhengde better than Zhou Chong, so as long as he expresses his attitude to support Zhengde’s Northern Expedition.

The grassland, then Zhengde will definitely not let him go, but let Zhou Chong help him fulfill his greatest wish. After all, in the entire Ming Dynasty, Zhengde can support Zhengde, have enough talents, and can also allow Zhengde to unconditionally trust people.

Only Zhou Chong was the only one. In comparison, Jiang Bin was just a brave man and had no comparison with Zhou Chong.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chong also breathed a long sigh. If he followed the calculation above, after he disclosed his identity, he could not only stay in the capital, but also use his identity to suppress Jiang Bin, so that Zhengde would not be like in history.

, ran to Xuanfu several times, and although he defeated the little prince of Tatar by chance, the battle had no strategic significance at all. It could only prove Zhengde's courage, but what he wanted was
Chapter completed!
