Daming: The Sims, Lao Zhu’s mentality collapsed

Chapter 35 The regent returns power to the emperor

Zhu Yuanzhang: "6."

He no longer knows how to evaluate it. Anyway, it is difficult for him to watch the simulation anymore.

What do you think?
  My father was an emperor for ten months, and my son lived to be more than thirty years old.

Is this genetic short-lived?
  Zhu Yuanzhang's face was distorted with anger. The short lives of Zhu Biao and Zhu Xiongying had almost made him collapse. As a result, the fourth family now has two more short-lived cubs!

How can you play this!
  Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth, but he couldn't help but sighed: "Forget it, let's watch it for a while."

He was just too curious.

After careful calculation, Zhou Wang Zhu Youyu has already killed six emperors: Lao Zhu, Jianwen, Taizong, Chengzu, Renzong, and Xuande. He can't kill another emperor, right?
  The emperor who succeeded Xuande was still a baby, and Zhu Youyu happened to know how to take care of children, so the Ming Dynasty still had a future.

Lao Zhu can only lie to himself in this way.

[Hearing your affirmative answer, Emperor Xuande nodded happily. Only today does he understand why the late emperor handed over the military and political power to this uncle of Zhou Wang. 】

[Every emperor will worry about the poor performance of his descendants before he dies, but the Chengzu lineage will help the new emperor secure the throne and remain absolutely loyal, assisting the emperor until he grows up and returns to power. 】

[As long as the prince Zhu Qizhen does not seek death and Zhu Youyu assists in government affairs, the Ming Dynasty will transition smoothly. Thinking of this, Emperor Xuande felt relieved. 】

[In the same month, Emperor Xuande Zhu Zhanji passed away in Qianqing Palace. 】

[Before his death, Emperor Xuande issued an edict, appointing Zhou Wang Zhu Youyu as regent to take charge of military affairs. 】

[You summoned the cabinet ministers Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong and others, and announced that the crown prince Zhu Qizhen was the new emperor, and his reign title was orthodox. 】

[On the eleventh day, the mausoleum of Emperor Xuande was built. On the 25th, Emperor Xuande was given the posthumous title of "Emperor Xiantian Chongdao, Yingming, Shengqinwen Zhaowu, Kuanren, Chunxiaozhang", and the temple name was Xuanzong. 】

[This is the fourth emperor's funeral that you have personally organized. Before this, you also organized the funerals of Taizong, Chengzu, and Renzong. 】

[To be honest, among the emperors you have assisted, the new emperor Zhu Qizhen is the one you have the most trouble with. 】

[When Emperor Taizong Wen was on the throne, he was assisted by Emperor Chengzu Wu. You only had to stand aside and there was no need to do anything. 】

[When Renzong was on the throne, His Majesty ruled with generosity and generosity, and he was also very obedient. He was the most comfortable emperor for you to assist. 】

[When Xuanzong was in power, although he was quite stubborn, his abilities were outstanding, so he wouldn't let you worry too much. 】

[And today's orthodox emperor Zhu Qizhen is nothing compared to his predecessors. Forget it, he is extremely stupid, and he is also full of lies. He has ulterior motives in front of your mentor and regent. 】

[There is a eunuch named Wang Zhen next to Zhu Qizhen. This man has a vicious mind. In your opinion, it would be a disaster if he stayed with the new emperor, so you just found an excuse and wanted to kill him with a stick. 】

[But you were frantically blocked by Zhu Qizhen. 】

[In Zhu Qizhen's opinion, Wang Zhen is a good person. When he is bored, Wang Gonggong can always come up with fun things to amuse him. If Wang Zhen dies, he will be lonely in the future. 】

[Facing this immature emperor, you are angry and amused, so you can only let Wang Zhen live. But in order to prevent this eunuch from becoming bigger in the future, you promoted Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Yang Pu and others in the cabinet to check and balance the power of the eunuchs. 】

[Assisting such an emperor who likes to be stupid and messy makes you exhausted, but in order to abide by the agreement you made with Emperor Xuande back then, you can only bite the bullet and persevere. ]    [Under your governance, the situation has been stable since the establishment of the Zhengtong Dynasty, and the court has been peaceful, as if it has returned to the prosperity of the Yongle era. And behind this orthodox prosperous age is your hard work. 】

[But as the ten-year period agreed with Emperor Xuande gets closer, you become more and more anxious. 】

[According to the agreement, you should return to power in the tenth year after the orthodox emperor Zhu Qizhen ascends the throne. 】

[What you are worried about is not losing power. If you can return to power, it will not be a bad thing for you, a minister who has worked hard for ten years. It has been almost ten years now. Zhu Qizhen is growing taller and taller, but his brain has not grown at all. 】

[Today, the country can still develop stably and maintain the balance of the situation, but all this is based on your conscientious management of the court! 】

[Once you are gone as the regent, it is difficult for you to imagine how bad the Ming Dynasty will be after Zhu Qizhen takes power. 】

[When Emperor Xuande left you alone, you actually didn’t think so much. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the four dynasties and six emperors, except Emperor Jianwen, were all Mingjuns. It’s hard to imagine that the descendants of these Mingjuns would be incompetent. 】

[No matter how mediocre the descendants are, no matter how uninterested they are in government affairs, no matter how greedy they are for pleasure, the Ming Dynasty can withstand five or six consecutive foolish kings. 】

[But Zhu Qizhen is not a foolish emperor, he is an emperor with great ideas. His ideas are so dangerous that you can hardly imagine what stupid things Zhu Qizhen would do without him as the regent to check and balance him! 】

[Even you, a true scholar who takes the world as your own mission, feel a deep sense of frustration in Zhu Qizhen at this moment. The students you have trained for nearly ten years are still hopeless. 】

[The New Year bell of the orthodox ten years has rang, and the ten years between you and Emperor Xuande have come to an end. 】

[The forces of relatives, with Queen Mother Sun as the core, have launched a public attack on you, demanding that you abide by the agreement and return power to the emperor. 】

[With your control over the court, it would be easy for you to break the promise, but you chose to remain silent in the face of these people's verbal criticism. 】

[At this moment, you are really tired. 】

[In the past ten years, you have not slacked off for a day. You have devoted all your efforts to this country. You have supported the entire empire with a woman and a child on your own. After Taizong, Chengzu, Renzong, and Xuanzong passed away one after another, you became the only remaining pillar of the empire, the last national warrior of the Ming Dynasty, and tried your best to serve as the fig leaf of the dynasty. 】

[Ten years of independent rule and unswerving determination, you have given everything you have for the Ming Dynasty. 】

[But now, those who feel comfortable because of your protection are turning to attack you. 】

[You have been completely disappointed with these people. 】

[In the eyes of the ministers, you took off your imperial crown and bowed your head to the nervous orthodox emperor Zhu Qizhen on the dragon throne: "Your Majesty, I am old. I can no longer accompany you in the future. You left together."]

[Historians recorded this period of history: In the first month of the 10th year of Zhengtong, the regent Zhu Youyu returned power to the emperor and retired to Nanjing. 】

[On this day, it snowed in Beijing. You walked alone outside the palace gate, wearing a red-bottomed dragon robe, your lonely back like a blood plum in the snow. You took one last look back at the capital that you had guarded for ten years, and couldn't help but sigh. One breath. 】

[After that, you returned to Nanjing, to Prince Zhou’s Mansion by Xuanwu Lake, and to your own apple orchard. 】

[The emperor is at the top, the ministers at the bottom are under control, the spring and autumn are written with pen, and the years are passed down with ink. Now you are no longer the regent, but a farmer guarding several acres of apple orchards. 】
