Edit the history, and count the top ten emperors at the beginning!

Chapter 55 A Completely Different Choice

After the video was shared, the emperors returned to their respective positions.

When Zhao Ji woke up, the little eunuch beside him reported the situation outside, and at the same time, the protective cover outside Zhao Ji's bedroom disappeared.

"Official!"

"Officials! Seeing that you are safe and sound, I am relieved!"

Zhao Ji looked back and forth between the two groups of people who were a bit tense, and finally, he stopped his eyes on Zhong Shidao and Li Gang.

"Chong Qing, Li Qing!"

When Zhong Shidao and Li Gang were named by Zhao Ji, their bodies shook slightly, and they quickly saluted: "The minister is here!"

"Chongqing, you command all the soldiers and horses of the capital's current department, Li Qing, you command all the troops of the foreign kings, and you must block the Jurchen's attack for me!"

Zhao Ji was hardened for a while, and he didn't know if he suddenly became enlightened after being educated by Zhao Kuangyin.

"The minister waits for orders!!!"

After Zhao Ji finished making arrangements, Cai Jing asked cautiously: "Housekeeper, what should we do with the stone tablet outside that pretends to be a ghost and confuses the public?"

Cai Jing was named a treacherous minister by video, and he was very disturbed at the moment.

However, he still believes that the butler is still the same butler, as long as he flatters and says something nice, he can still make him happy.

Unexpectedly, Cai Jing miscalculated this time.

"That's not something that pretends to be a ghost or deceives people. Do you know who I saw when I was in a coma?" Zhao Ji asked with a half-smile.

"Who?" Cai Jing and the others were at a loss. You said you were in a coma, who else could you see? ? ?Could it be the person Fa dreamed about?

A rare masculine and resolute expression appeared on Zhao Ji's face, and he said, "I have seen the Emperor Taizu!"

"Emperor Taizu?"

"???"

"Are you kidding me? You must have gone to the underworld."

Cai Jing and the others almost burst out laughing, even Li Gang and Zhong Shidao looked at each other, feeling that Zhao Ji's words were unimaginable.

"Hmph! It's a pity that I didn't get the runestone of the ancestor's arrival, otherwise I should summon the ancestor to come out at this time, and rectify this rotten Song Dynasty!"

Although Zhao Ji's voice was still lacking in energy, but with his status as the emperor as a blessing, it still sounded quite imposing.

"Ancestor coming?"

"Your Majesty, are you really awake?"

"."

Zhao Ji has already learned from the video and Zhao Gou the tragic end of himself and the Northern Song Dynasty in the future. In order not to let himself end up in the same tragedy as in history, he decided to leave the capital first, leaving Zhong Shidao and Li Gang to fight against the Jurchens.
I just don't know if Zhao Kuangyin knew Zhao Ji's current plan, would he travel through time and space angrily and beat him up again.

On the other side, Zhu Youjian, who returned to his own time and space, summoned Zhu Di as soon as he landed.

Why Zhu Di and not Zhu Yuanzhang?

Because Zhu Youjian believes that Zhu Di is stronger than Zhu Yuanzhang in terms of knowing and employing people. This can be seen from Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di choosing successors for themselves and the assistants designated for the successors.

The heir Zhu Yuanzhang chose at the beginning was the prince Zhu Biao. In fact, this choice is quite correct.

Zhu Biao is a benevolent man. Although he is not as good as Zhu Di in terms of military and strategy, he should be a well-known benevolent king in peacetime.

He can well make up for Zhu Yuanzhang's excessive murderousness, allowing the court and the country to recuperate and recover.

This is why Zhu Yuanzhang chose Zhu Biao or even Zhu Yunqi instead of Zhu Di.

Unfortunately, the prince Zhu Biao died before Zhu Yuanzhang.

In desperation, Zhu Yuanzhang chose the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunqi as his successor. Although Zhu Yunqi is also a man of righteousness, he is a junior after all, and it is difficult for him to suppress those uncles and vassals who hold military power by himself.

Therefore, the first thing Zhu Yunqi did after he took office was to cut down the vassal.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang specially selected the "Clang clang trio" for Zhu Yunqi. Although they all have certain specialties and advantages, they are all too divorced from reality, and even too idealized.

Qi Tai was a Jinshi during Zhu Yuanzhang's period. Huang Zicheng was originally the number one scholar, but because he was nervous and failed to answer Zhu Yuanzhang's own date of birth, he was reduced to Tanhua.

These two are experts in Confucianism, and when it comes to theoretical knowledge, it is a set routine.

But Fang Xiaoru is even more difficult. His teacher is the great scholar Song Lian, and he is also quite legendary.Of course, Fang Xiaoru is still much worse than Zhuge Liang.
These three Confucian scholars are very upright, they are also good people, and their loyalty to Zhu Yunqi and Daming is also impeccable.

It's just that they, like Zhu Yunqi, misplaced themselves. Since they are important ministers in the court, they shouldn't rule the country with academics all day long. It can only be a stupid thing that can only be done by nerds.

Everyone must know what happened next.
With the assistance of these three "Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Cubs" and "Tomb Tiger", Zhu Yunqi started a drastic plan to cut down the feudal clan.

In the end, Zhu Yunqi cut off his throne, and the "clang clang trio" cut himself off.

However, these three people are also stubborn, and they are not ashamed of the integrity of scholars.

After Qi Tai was arrested, he would rather die than surrender. Zhu Di ordered him to be executed, and his family was wiped out. The only surviving 6-year-old son was sent to the frontier, and he was not pardoned until Ming Shizong.His female relatives were even more pitiful. They were punished as official prostitutes for generations, and they went to the military camp every day to entertain the soldiers.

Huang Zicheng's fate is similar to Qi Tai's.After the capital was breached, Zhu Di personally interrogated him. Huang Zicheng resisted death and refused to surrender. Zhu Di became angry and ordered him to be dismembered and died.Huang Zicheng's family was wiped out, and the surviving female family members acted as official prostitutes for generations.

And Fang Xiaoru is the worst.

Because he refused to surrender, and he refused to draft an imperial edict for Zhu Di, and said brazenly, "So what if I kill my ten clans?"

As a result, he was really exterminated ten clans, and Fang Xiaoru himself was executed by Zhu Dilingchi.

It can be seen from this that the successors and assistants selected by Zhu Yuanzhang are somewhat inappropriate.

Zhu Yuanzhang's original intention was good. He hoped that Daming would recuperate under the leadership of a benevolent monarch, but he ignored the flaws in them that were divorced from reality and too subjective and idealized.Talking about war on paper is actually a common problem of most scholars.

Looking at Zhu Di's selection of heirs and the assistant ministers of the heirs, you have to admire Zhu Di's vision of people.

Among Zhu Di's sons, the eldest son Zhu Gaochi and the second son Zhu Gaoxu are most likely to inherit the throne.

Although the eldest son was in poor health and was very fat, he had a good temperament and was the eldest son, so he was born with the advantage of being the heir.

The second son, Zhu Gaoxu, is a copy of Zhu Di. He is very heroic. He played brilliantly many times in the Battle of Jingnan. Zhu Di has been wandering between the two, not knowing which one to choose as his successor.

Later, when Zhu Di asked the great talent Xie Jin for his opinion, Xie Jin made a key point - "good grandson"!
It means that Zhu Gaochi has a good son Zhu Zhanji, which made Zhu Di make up his mind to make Zhu Gaochi the prince.

Facts have proved that Zhu Di's choice is very correct. Although Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji and his son have not been in office for a long time, and they only have 11 years in total, they have created one of the most prosperous times in Chinese history, the "Rule of Renxuan".

Of course, it would have been more perfect if Zhu Di hadn't said that sentence that caused Zhu Gaoxu to worry about it all the time, and even rebelled.

Zhu Di's think tank for his son and grandson is also three people, but these three people are much stronger than the three of Emperor Jianwen!

They are the famous "Three Yangs" in the history of Ming Dynasty: Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong and Yang Pu.

The three of them are important cabinet ministers and have gone through four dynasties.

With their assistance, Zhu Gaochi successfully kept his crown prince and ascended to the throne.

With the assistance of San Yang, Zhu Zhanji rectified the administration of officials and developed the economy, bringing the Ming Dynasty on the road of rapid development.
