I am the king of the dead

Zhu Qiyu promised Shi Heng to let him swallow ten thousand miles with gold and iron horses like a tiger. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty did it, so Shi Heng never betrayed his lord, and chose to be loyal and brave as the emperor's pioneer. I am still obsessed with studying Tai'an trains of the Ming Dynasty, and changed to another one for the king's predecessor.

After Shi Heng left, Zhu Qiyu went to the Duke of Zhongguo's mansion to see Shi Heng off in person, posthumously conferred the title of King Zhong'an, posthumously named Wuning, and ranked second in Jinshan Cemetery.

Zhu Qiyu promised Xu Youzhen that as long as he was still working for the people of Daming, he would not be punished for his crimes in the battle of the capital. The emperor of Ming Dynasty did it, so Xu Youzhen never returned to Beijing.

He ran around the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in Daming, and he left the Zhangqiu diversion canal in Zhangqiu for Daming, which has been used for 25 years and is still intact;

He repaired the dams along the Yellow River. This grumpy mother river did not bring floods and plagues to the people along the banks during the Jingtai period;
He built the [-]-mile Jingtai Anmin Canal in Hetao. This water conservancy project turned Fortress into a grassland. Whether it is Tatars, Wuliangha people, Huihui people, people from the Western Regions or Han people in Ming Dynasty, they all thank him. It is great luck to live a stable life by robbing each other;

He went to Guizhou to dredge the Wujiang River, making this roaring river docile, and became the most important transportation hub before the hardened road surface and the fast road failed to enter Guizhou;
He dredged [-] miles of main roads and waterways on the Yangtze River, and his favor has benefited the nine provinces of Ming Dynasty, and the department stores in the nine provinces can smoothly come to various hubs on the Yangtze River for exchange.

He built a canal in Guangxi, which cost the Ming Emperor 550 million silver, which was more than 50 silver than the budget. He built a canal that was big enough for ships to pass through, so that Guangxi also had an outlet to the sea, and Guangxi got rid of the title of a place of exile. Let the people of Guangxi breathe a sigh of relief.

In the end, he built the Yangtze River Bridge in Hankou, the wonder of the Ming Dynasty that he promised to His Majesty, but in the end he did not complete it in his hands and died forever.

For such a character, in the historical materials, the vigilance of the Ming emperor can be seen everywhere. As to whether the emperor was too careless, or Xu Youzhen didn't know what to do. Always arguing.

In the 30th year of Jingtai, the emperor of Ming Dynasty asked the prince to supervise the country. He went south again and went all the way south. He came to Hankou in Huguang and participated in the completion ceremony of the Hankou Yangtze River Bridge. Zhu Qiyu met fourteen of Xu Youzhen's students, who were the water control talents Xu Youzhen trained on the water control road.

Although Zhu Qiyu always felt that Xu Youzhen deliberately accepted fourteen students, just to get one more than his Thirteen Tiqi, just to get angry with him!
But Xu Youzhen had already entered the ground, and Zhu Qiyu didn't care too much.

The tolerant Emperor Ming still ordered people to erect two statues at the head of the bridge. The first statue is Xu Youzhen looking at the Yangtze River with far-reaching eyes, while the second statue is Xu Youzhen in Hetao, wearing a short shirt and sackcloth with a bamboo hat , wearing a coir raincoat and carrying a long pole.

The 52-year-old Emperor Daming was still the emperor who liked to join in the fun, always able to see some filth in the world where others were not conspicuous, and then use his supreme power to maintain fairness and justice in the world.

Although the speed of transformation from the small peasant economy to the commodity economy in the Ming Dynasty was slow, it was firm. With the passage of trains and the dredging of waterways, the Ming Dynasty was still full of vigor and vitality, and everything was competing for development.

Zhu Qiyu went to Jiujiang Mansion and dealt a second blow to Jiangxi's school lords. His Majesty the Emperor, who made everyone terrified, set off again to go south, to Yingtian Mansion, then south to Fujian, and then to Guangzhou, where he saw the artisan city in Guangzhou After that, he went out to sea by boat and returned to Songjiang Mansion.

In Songjiang Mansion, Zhu Qiyu received a bad news. The third prince and his grandfather, Daming Zhenhaihou, Tang Xing, a free and unruly Tang Xing, unfortunately fell off a cliff during an operation to explore the Great Rift Valley in East Africa. Without any hesitation, the wife jumped off the cliff and followed her husband.

When Zhu Qiyu went to Yingtian Mansion and planned to take the train back to Beijing, shocking news came from the capital. Zhu Qiyu's eighth prince, the second son Zhu Jianzhi, gathered more than two thousand people, launched a palace change, and launched a sneak attack on the prince Zhu Jiancheng. This is a big drama of brothers fighting against each other.

The palace change only lasted for half an hour, and the prince Zhu Jiancheng suppressed the rebellion of his younger brother Zhu Jianzhi with half a hand.

This palace change has been going on under Zhu Jiancheng's nose. Zhu Jiancheng didn't just sit idly by. He even asked his confidant eunuch to tell Zhu Jianzhi that he had seen their gathering and let his brother be more peaceful. Zhu Jianzhi is not an opponent. It is justified to have fuller wings and more challenges.

The young and vigorous Zhu Jianzhi launched the palace change recklessly. He thought he could win because he felt that he was much more ruthless than his brother.

The governor of the Beijing camp, Cheng Guogong Zhu Yi, led the Beijing camp with less than 500 people, and under the protection of two hundred Tiqi, they captured Zhu Jianzhi and others alive, and the Ming army was unscathed.

After Zhu Qiyu heard the news, he didn't stop along the way and hurried back to Beijing.

In the 32nd year of Jingtai, Zhu Qiyu returned to his loyal Shuntian Mansion, got off the train in Tongzhou, and entered Beijing from Chaoyangmen in a big jade car.

Prince Zhu Jiancheng led a group of civil and military officials to welcome the supreme emperor of Ming Dynasty back to Beijing in the Chaoyang Gate.

"The riot happened in the evening, when the ministers were still reviewing the memos in Juxian Pavilion, there was a noise outside, the Ti commander Zhu Ji led two hundred Ti cavalry to guard, there was an exchange of fire, and then the generals of the Jiangwu Hall participated in the refusal Among the enemies, Cheng Guogong led the Beijing camp to the outside of the martial arts hall, surrounded them, and forced Zhu Jianzhi to surrender." Zhu Jiancheng reported the details of the turmoil in the imperial study of the martial arts hall.

"I have said many times that it is not too late to review the memorials. It is already time, and you are still reviewing the memorials." Zhu Qiyu had already learned the whole process of the palace change through Tiqi. The prince did not describe the role he played, but Zhu Qiyu Know.

The crown prince put on armor as soon as the riot broke out, and organized to suppress the palace coup. Zhu Ji was Yu Qian's son-in-law, a good old man who didn't know what to do, but the crown prince told Zhu Ji what to do. It didn't end in tragedy. The entire process of suppressing the palace change was directed by Zhu Jiancheng, but he didn't say a word.

Zhu Jiancheng didn't know how to answer. In fact, he knew that as long as the seal was stamped, Daming's error correction mechanism would work. It would not affect the normal operation of Daming if it was not reviewed until very late. He just wanted Daming to become better, so he had to do everything himself.

As for the fatigue of the government, he didn't feel that way. Instead, he always felt like walking on thin ice. Sitting in the imperial study, he realized how hard and difficult his father had been working hard every day for more than [-] years. .

With great power comes great responsibility.

"As soon as the rebels were exiled to Liberty City, the leading ministers were all beheaded for public display." Zhu Qiyu punished those who participated in the rebellion, and he said solemnly: "As for Zhu Jianzhi, you will take him with you later. Go to the Taimiao."

It is self-evident what to do to open the Taimiao. There was a king Jili who died there. King Jili was a selfish and self-centered war criminal. decision made.

Zhu Jianzhi's growth is crooked. It's not that Zhu Qiyu lacks care for his children. It's that Zhu Jianzhi has some deviations when he grows up. Without Hu Wei and without Yu Qian, under the traditional education of scholar-officials, Zhu Jianzhi has become a selfish person. The supreme second son of Daming.

Zhu Qiyu had admonished him several times, and had several quarrels with the 50-year-old Queen Wang for this reason. Zhu Jianzhi always admitted his mistakes very submissively, and then made mistakes more secretly next time.

"Father." After Zhu Jiancheng heard the emperor's order, it was the first time that he disapproved of his father's decision.

"You child, he usurped your throne. When I return to the capital, I will be the only son of my son. Even if I don't give him the crown prince, do I want the boss to come back? He lives happily on the banks of the Ganges River, so I don't mind Willing to come back." Zhu Qiyu looked at Zhu Jiancheng hesitantly, and looked at Zhu Jiancheng suspiciously.

Zhu Jianzhi did not pose any threat to Zhu Qiyu, that is, Zhu Jianzhi really became successful in the Wutang Palace, killed the prince, and when Zhu Qiyu returned to Beijing, he could hold Zhu Jianzhi down with one finger.

In fact, Zhu Jianzhi's calculations are very clear. He is the second son, the second heir to the throne, and his father's youngest son.

If the palace has changed, he is the number one heir. If the palace can't be changed, what else can I do with him?

Zhu Jianzhi was born in the 12th year of Jingtai. At that time, the matter of King Jili had long gone. The murder of Taimiao had already become a topic of conversation among people. Zhu Jianzhi didn't think what his father would do to him.

Zhu Jiancheng knelt down on the ground, buried his head very low, and said in a low voice: "Mother is getting old, and I think the eighth brother is just ignorant. I beg my father to give the eighth brother another chance."

Zhu Qiyu knocked on the table, reminding Zhu Jiancheng: "You have completely forgotten the truth that Mr. Hu taught you."

"My son has not forgotten." Zhu Jiancheng said quite solemnly: "Little Yang Shanren doesn't treat people as people, it's just because he punched someone back then, and he only needed three pennies in exchange for gratitude. He, he dares to make a bigger mistake next time."

"But my mother is old, how can my mother accept that my elder brother killed my younger brother?"

Zhu Qiyu still shook his head and said: "If you want to intercede for Zhu Jianzhi, I can give the prince a face, give Zhu Jianzhi a face, and make him hang himself. In this capital city, the Wala people can't get in, and the rebels can't get in. The emperor's uncle supervised the country three times. There has never been any turmoil, so why did I spare him? A rebellious son should be punished, and I didn't tell you to kill someone, I just did it."

Zhu Jiancheng still refused, knelt on the ground, wept bitterly and said: "Father, Zhu Jianzhi is still young, and he grew up loved and loved. Although he is already weak, he is still a child. I beg my father to forgive me."

When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he was even more depressed, and said sharply: "Child? A 20-year-old child, right? Ru'er has already boarded a ship to Bei Dazhou at this age, and there are only scattered news so far. Ji'er also went to India at this age. The most worry-free youngest, Jun’er, went to Peru at the age of 20 to mine silver for the Ming Dynasty.”

"Child? A 20-year-old child? I was at Deshengmen at the age of 22, and I fought desperately with Yu Shaobao, the governor, and the Wala people."

"Lu Zhong."

Zhu Jiancheng said sadly: "Father, my son was born yesterday afternoon. It's a boy. Seeing blood at this time is not a blessing."

"In order to save this rebellious son, you even brought out your grandson, right?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Zhu Jiancheng and was furious. The eldest grandson was born at just the right time. Indeed, it is really ominous to kill the eighth son at this time.

The reason why Zhu Jianzhi wanted to change the palace was because the prince Zhu Jiancheng Jingtai had a big wedding after returning to Beijing for 25 years. He got married at the age of 22, and then seven years passed without heirs.

Zhu Jianzhi got married, and Ze Wang Zhu Jianzhi had a son the next year. It would be strange if Zhu Jianzhi didn't have the idea of ​​the throne in his heart.

Zhu Jiancheng has never had a child, mainly because he was obsessed with state affairs. When he got married, he went to Liaodong and Shangren to hoe the land. He went there for another five years. Hoe the earth and beat roe deer in the northeast.

Zhu Jiancheng knew that his throne was stable, so he was not very anxious about his heirs. The crown princess cried to the queen and to Concubine Ran Ning.

During Zhu Qiyu's southern tour, he recalled the prince to the capital. Only then did the prince have a child, and this birth was a son.

Daming is the eldest son inheritance system. With the improvement of medical skills in the imperial hospital, and the application of the emperor's entry and exit method in Tai'an Palace - Jiangwu Hall, the lifespan of the eldest son of the Ming Dynasty has increased visible to the naked eye. The birth of the eldest son is too early, which is not good for the country. Late marriage and late childbearing are Zhu Jiancheng's thoughts after the Ming emperor's life span became longer.

"Don't run around in the past few years, and have a few more." Zhu Qiyu finally chose to compromise. The crown prince is older, and his opinion has more weight.

Zhu Qiyu pondered for a moment and said: "Tomorrow King Ze will be sent to Oceania to become a vassal. Those ministers will not be killed, and they will all be sent to Oceania. Out of sight, out of mind."

"Isn't the old man capable? Those ministers who made him change his palace are his founding ministers."

Capital crimes are inevitable, but living crimes are inevitable. Zhu Jianzhi may not die, but if he wants to be exiled to Oceania and show his teeth to kangaroos, all the ministers in this gang are ghosts. If Zhu Jianzhi really has the ability, he will break out into a world. Just die outside.

The scale of Prince Ze's mansion is far inferior to that of other princes. On the way, Zhu Jianzhi sank those ministers into the sea.

Zhu Jianzhi was a vicious person, he never let those ministers go ashore alive to cause trouble for him, and dealt with all the ministers before he reached Luzon.

Zhu Jianzhi felt that both his father and the prince were indecisive. His old capital had changed, but he could still survive. Isn't this indecision?He has always believed that to be an emperor, one should be ruthless and ruthless, and it is only right to use one's own selfishness to the world.

Zhu Jianzhi thought so and did the same, so that later generations always believed that among the Mings, the Zeming Empire was a moral depression, and it was a paradise for criminals.

After Zhu Jianzhi became a vassal, Empress Wang became ill from worry, and not long after, she passed away. She was buried in Jinshan Cemetery with the posthumous title of Xiaozhuang, waiting for the emperor to be buried together.

Everyone thought Concubine Ran Ning would become the new empress of Ming Dynasty. Zhu Qiyu went to find Ran Siniang, but Ran Siniang always avoided seeing her. After all, she was old and her face was gone.

Zhu Qiyu had no choice but to go to Jieyuan and found Ran Siniang.

Ran Siniang was wearing a veil just like before, covering her dull skin. She has gone through menopause, and she has begun to age rapidly. She doesn't want the emperor to see her ugly side.She laughed and talked to the emperor for a long time, but she still refused to leave the Xieyuan, refused to return to the palace with His Majesty, and still refused to be a queen.

Zhu Qiyu was puzzled, she was the one who was beautiful, but Ran Siniang was the one who was ugly?After so many years of relationship, how did Ran Siniang break up so decisively and so cruelly?

Ran Siniang is a very independent person. She has her own career, her own personality, and her own thoughts. She has been the harem for nearly 30 years. The best time of her life is with the person she loves the most. Getting old is not the romance she wants, it is to freeze the beauty in the memory.

She was still concubine Ran Ning, and she was still judged by Ran Yuan, but since then, Ran Siniang has never left the gate of Xie Jie Yuan.

Zhu Qiyu would come to see and talk to Ran Siniang every month. Until the 37th year of Jingtai, Ran Siniang was polluted and died of serious illness during the process of vaccine research.

Zhu Qiyu ordered the Ministry of Rites to give her a posthumous title, but the Ministry of Rites was twitchy, and finally gave her the posthumous title Zhaohui, who is called Zhaohui for her meritorious deeds, and Hui for her kindness and kindness. She was known as Concubine Zhaoning in history.

After Queen Wang left, the Ming emperor did not establish a queen again. In the 40th year of Jingtai, he was 62 years old. entrusted to the prince.

Almost everyone agrees that Emperor Jingtai never delegated power in his life. Although he lived in the backyard of the lecture hall, Emperor Zhu Jiancheng of the Ming Dynasty went to the backyard to report every day, no matter how big or small.

But Zhu Jiancheng knew that his father had completely delegated power in Jingtai for 40 years, and it was Zhu Jiancheng who didn't understand something, so he went to ask his father what he meant.

On the father's desk, there is always a lot of draft paper with many words written and drawn on it. There is a big blackboard behind the desk, and my father is always writing on it, calculating something. These manuscripts are all After Zhu Qiyu abdicated, he was busy with his affairs. He was engaged in inventions and creations, and he was also promoting the development of mathematics.

To be precise, the life of the Supreme Emperor in his later years was still fulfilling.

The next chapter, the finale.
