Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

[Host, do you confirm that you choose to simulate the life of Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian and watch his future? ]

Looking at the questions displayed on the simulator, Zhu Yuanzhang did not hesitate at all.

Just choose confirm.

Among the several people available for selection this time, the one he was most interested in was naturally the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian.

After all, judging from the information he got on the simulator, it basically meant that by the time of Zhu Youjian, the Ming Dynasty had truly fallen.

Naturally, he wanted to see how his Ming Dynasty was destroyed.

And what kind of person was Zhu Youjian, the king who lost his country?

In fact, most kings who lost their countries have too many similarities.

For example, debauchery, cruelty, and extravagance...

When a dynasty falls, it is certainly impossible to put all the blame on the king who lost the country.

However, the king who lost his country must also bear a lot of responsibility.

There is almost no need to read much about the life of Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian.

Zhu Yuanzhang could basically guess from this all the ridiculous things Zhu Youjian had done.

So he was not in a good mood at all.

After Zhu Yuanzhang chose to confirm, some images soon appeared on the light curtain.

A baby in swaddling clothes was crying there.

The baby still had some sticky stuff on his body and his hair was wet.

Zhu Yuanzhang could tell at a glance that this was a baby who had just been born.

He already has several sons and daughters and has seen many similar situations.

I am not unfamiliar with this.

Thinking of this, he set his eyes on the time given on the simulator.

The time was the 38th year of the Wanli reign.

After seeing this number, he couldn't help but be stunned.

The Wanli Emperor actually lived a long life.

It has been thirty-eight years since I came here.

That means this guy was emperor for at least thirty-eight years.

Before that, he saw his fat grandson Zhu Gaochi, who was emperor for only ten months and then died.

And the guy Zhu Zhanji, who succeeded to the throne, could also see it from observing Zhu Qizhen's future.

It was only a dozen years since he became emperor.

Originally he was a little anxious, thinking that these descendants were really disappointing.

It’s okay that they can’t compare in other aspects, but even their lifespan is not that good.

it's good now.

Now he has come directly, and he has been the emperor for at least thirty-eight years!

This is actually longer than the time he has been in office.

Zhu Yuanzhang was well aware of how important an emperor with a long reign was to a country.

The various policies formulated can be implemented.

It will not happen that the policy is changed every day within a short period of time.

It is very beneficial to the prosperity of a country.

Judging from this, it is very likely that Emperor Wanli was a very good emperor.

With him as the emperor, there shouldn't be so many troubles in the Ming Dynasty.

The political achievements should still be quite acceptable.

Let’s look at the reactions of the people around him when Chongzhen was born.

And the surrounding arrangements.

He quickly figured out that Chongzhen was probably not the son of the Crown Princess at the time.

If he is a legitimate son, he is born to the Crown Princess.

The surroundings were not like this at this time.

Looking at the system again, the emperors of later generations that appeared before that he could simulate, before Zhu Youjian, there was one named Zhu Youxiao.

I think this is most likely the case where Zhu Youxiao has no descendants.

Later, the throne was inherited by his younger brother Zhu Youjian.

Of course, it is also possible that a prince of his age seized the throne through some means and became emperor.

But if you think about it carefully, I think this possibility is not too big...

As Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking this, the scene quickly ended.

A new picture appeared.

In the newly appeared scene, there was a woman holding Zhu Youxiao and talking incessantly...

From this, Zhu Yuanzhang completely confirmed his previous guess about Zhu Youjian's identity.

It turned out that Zhu Youjian was not born to Zhu Changluo's wife.

His mother is just a person of low status.

After a moment the picture disappeared and a new picture appeared.

However, the scene in the picture is not very good.

Little Zhu Youjian, wearing a small mourning dress, draped in mourning clothes...

Judging from the scene shown in this picture, his mother passed away.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sigh.

Zhu Youjian also had a miserable life, as he lost his mother at a young age.

But fortunately, his father is still there.

Moreover, his life at this time is much better than his childhood.

At that time, my family really didn't have enough to eat. We had one meal but no next.

Later, many people starved to death.

Although Zhu Youjian had lost his mother, he still had a father.

Born into a royal family, his so-called hard life had actually already surpassed that of many ordinary people.

From Zhu Yuanzhang's perspective, the image quickly disappeared.

In the remaining image, there was only the little Zhu Youjian kneeling there.

Seems a little confused.

A three-year-old child is still very ignorant and doesn’t really know what death means…

A new picture gradually emerged.

In the scene that appeared this time, there was someone there taking care of Chongzhen's daily life.

This person is no longer Chongzhen’s mother.

From her clothes and the conversation coming out of the room, we can tell that this is a selected concubine named Li, who seems to be a nice person.

Chongzhen shouldn't suffer too much if he stays with her.

But after the next scene unfolded, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer thought so.

Because Li Xianshi's belly grew bigger and she gave birth to a daughter.

Take care of your own children.

Therefore, Chongzhen was taken to another place to be raised and cared for by others...

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but shook his head.

This child's life was originally quite hard.

This makes it even more difficult to do.

First, his mother died, and then the person who took care of him was replaced by another one not long after.

This kind of switching back and forth has a huge impact on a child...

Chongzhen's experience was not very good...

In the newly emerging scene, Zhu Youxiao was sitting there, crying secretly.

I don’t know if it was because of bullying or for some other reason.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little distressed, he then thought about the fact that he was the last king of his Ming Dynasty and some of his childhood experiences.

I also think that sometimes it’s good to suffer a little.

Suffering is something that basically everyone has to go through.

Some people, after such an experience, will be crushed by the burden.

But some people are able to become resilient after experiencing all this.

stronger.

Bitter, no one wants to eat it.

However, in this life, there is suffering everywhere.

No one wants to suffer, but life will always give it to you.

Without this kind of suffering, there will be that kind of suffering...

As Zhu Yuanzhang was sighing, a new scene soon emerged again.

This time the scene was not quite what Zhu Yuanzhang had imagined.

No longer those fragments of Zhu Youjian's life.

But a lot of people showed up.

In terms of time, it was the 43rd year of the Wanli reign.

After seeing this time point, Zhu Yuanzhang was somewhat surprised.

Before, he was already shocked to see that Emperor Wanli could be emperor for thirty-eight years.

As a result, now it is the 43rd year of the Wanli reign again.

This guy has been emperor for a really long time!

There are many people in the newly appeared picture.

Little Zhu Youjian stood there, looking a little uneasy. Besides him, there were two other children older than him.

Zhu Yuanzhang soon realized that one of them must be Zhu Youxiao, who later became emperor.

The oldest child should be him.

In addition to the three of them, there is also a girl here...

But they are not the protagonists this time.

Instead, he was a short, fat man with rather old age and somewhat gray hair.

This guy was wearing a dragon robe and looked very old.

It turns out that this person is the Wanli Emperor who has been emperor for more than 40 years and is still alive.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized something.

Finally I got to see what this young generation who was still alive looked like.

Why did the emperor gather so many people here at this time, and let them face foreign officials at the same time?

Could it be... that he was planning to entertain these foreign officials and invite them to a family dinner?
But it seems that is not the case...

Thinking this way, he soon understood what was going on.

"My dear ministers, you don't have to worry about the position of Crown Prince.

There will absolutely be no change in this matter!
As for changing the crown prince, that is even more impossible.

What happened before was just an accident...

Chang Luo is the crown prince, and no one can change that!"

After listening to what the emperor said, the expressions of the ministers who came to see the emperor eased a little.

But in the end, he still spoke righteously and sternly, and said something else...

Through their conversation, Zhu Yuanzhang understood a lot of things.

It seems that even after this, the fight for the throne of the Ming Dynasty has not yet ended.

Zhu Changluo was the crown prince, but it was obvious that Emperor Wanli had not only him as a son, but also many other children.

Some people want to compete for the throne.

Not only that, there were also people who wanted to assassinate the prince.

However, judging from what was revealed in their words and the current results.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but have a question mark in his mind.

Is it true that someone wants to assassinate the prince?
Why does it seem like... this matter is like some kind of joke?
This is really too much of a joke!
Could it be... that someone did this on purpose?

So as to create some noise and consolidate the position of the crown prince?
Judging from what the old emperor said and the attitude he showed at this time.

This could actually be true.

After all, the prince did not suffer any substantial harm after this incident.

Instead, he directly forced the old emperor to express his position, completely securing his position as crown prince.

This matter was done very well, at least it was done with some thought.

I just don't know if he did it himself or if someone else helped him plan it...

If he plans on his own, he might very well become a more capable monarch in the future.

As I thought this, the picture slowly disappeared.

Soon, images appeared one after another and they were spoken...

After a few scenes, another scene of people in mourning appeared on the simulator.

This time, Zhu Youjian was already ten years old.

Judging from what is shown in the picture.

The mourning hall this time was particularly large.

Extremely grand.

Zhu Yuanzhang recognized it at a glance. This scale of building must have been built after the emperor's death.

Look at the time above, it shows the 48th year of the Wanli reign.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

This guy has been emperor for a really long time!
It’s actually been forty-eight years!
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but think of myself.

If I were the emperor, I could rule for as long as forty-eight years.

Then I will definitely be able to accomplish many things in the future.

It can make the Ming Dynasty even more different!
And a waste like Zhu Yunwen, after years of training by himself, should have a very different ending from the original one after becoming emperor.
Thinking of this, he shook his head again.

If he wasn't such a waste, how could the fourth son of my family have risen to the top?
How did he create the Yongle Era of Prosperity and achieve the name of Emperor Yongle?

Zhu Yuanzhang collected his thoughts and focused his attention again on the simulator in front of him.

If his guess was correct, the next scene to be shown would be the new emperor ascending the throne.

As I thought about this, a new picture emerged.

Just as he thought, the new scene showed Crown Prince Zhu Changluo ascending the throne with the support of his ministers.

After those seemingly complicated rituals, the scene disappeared.

Zhu Yuanzhang had another guess in his mind.

The next scene is likely to be the enthronement of Chongzhen as king.

After all, it was customary for the emperor to confer the title of king on his son after he ascended the throne.

And this was indeed not a trivial matter for Chongzhen.

It's worth mentioning here.

While he was waiting, a new picture appeared.

As soon as he appeared, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.

It's not just that he didn't guess it right, but also because the picture that emerged was a far cry from what he had imagined.

The simulator screen was completely blank.

Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youjian and others knelt there and cried.

And this can be seen from the scenes shown in the picture.

It was nothing else but their father, Zhu Changluo, who had just become the emperor, had passed away...

Zhu Yuanzhang was already confused, and after seeing the time displayed on it, he became even more confused.

Because what is shown above is still the 48th year of the Wanli reign.

By the way, before this, he thought it was outrageous enough that his fat grandson, Renzong Zhu Gaochi, died ten months after becoming emperor.

As a result, now there is another emperor who has only been in power for one month, which makes the matter even more outrageous.

This...what the hell is going on?
What happened to Zhu Changluo that caused him to die so young?
The person disappeared in such a short time?

Murder? Sudden illness?
Or something else? ?

There were so many things going on that he couldn't figure it out.

Originally, he analyzed the case of the assassination.

I also think that Zhu Changluo might be a very good emperor.

After becoming emperor, he can achieve something.

How could he have imagined that he would be gone after only being emperor for ten months.

This made him not know what to say for a moment.

I just feel my mind is very confused and I want to be quiet...

Zhu Yuanzhang was filled with curiosity and wanted to know what had happened here.

But unfortunately, the picture did not mention it, it only showed Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youjian and other brothers crying here.

This incident has raised new doubts.

And let Zhu Yuanzhang decide that after he can imitate Zhu Changluo in the future, he must take a good look at this matter.

Then, a new picture emerged.

This time it was Zhu Youxiao, the elder brother, who became emperor.

And changed the reign title to Tianqi.

After several scenes appeared, it was soon the second year of Tianqi.

This time is very important to Zhu Youjian.

He was given the title of Prince Xin by his brother who became the emperor...

……

"How could you be like this, brother?

How could an emperor be so fond of carpentry and not govern the country?

If one day I become an emperor, I will definitely work hard!

He will certainly be like Taizu and Chengzu, working diligently and loving the people, governing the country, and reversing the situation..."

When Zhu Youjian was alone in Prince Xin's mansion, he spoke with helplessness but strong confidence.

The information revealed by this picture made Zhu Yuanzhang stunned for a moment.

No... After becoming emperor, Zhu Youxiao became obsessed with carpentry?
An emperor became a carpenter?
What's happening here?
The emperor of our own Ming Dynasty seems a bit outrageous!

unacceptable.

After a few scenes flashed by, it was soon the time when Zhu Youxiao died and Zhu Youjian ascended the throne as emperor.

After becoming emperor, Zhu Youjian was particularly diligent.

He has not forgotten what he said when he was Prince of Xin.

He is really hardworking.

Get up earlier than the chicken and sleep later than the dog.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang, seeing how diligent he was, couldn't help but nod secretly.

I feel like my family finally has a capable descendant.

But this relief did not last long.

Suddenly a doubt came to his mind.

Zhu Youjian was so diligent after becoming emperor, so why did the Ming Dynasty fall under his rule?
