Chapter 83: The Fall of the Emperor of Thailand
Jiang Yi said indifferently: "In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Zhu Youzhen hanged himself in the coal mountain, and the eunuch Wang Chengen, the scholar Fan Jingwen, the imperial history Li Banghua, and the head of the household Ni Yuanlu and other ministers died. β
"He actually killed himself?"
Zhu Yuanzhang is not as proud of his descendants as some viewers imagined.
His brow furrowed even deeper than it had just been.
"What's going on, doesn't Zhu Yuanzhang want to commit suicide in his future life?"
"If he doesn't commit suicide, won't Zhu Youzhen become a prisoner of Li Zicheng or the Qing army, and then the Ming Dynasty will completely lose its national prestige!"
"Yes, suicide at this time is the best choice, not only to retain the dignity of being an emperor, but also to save the face of the Ming Dynasty!"
Many viewers are still very supportive of Emperor Chongzhen's suicide.
"Isn't this much better than that "Ming God of War" Zhu Qizhen?"
"That's right, if Emperor Hongwu saw Emperor Chongzhen so angry, wouldn't he be angry to death when he saw Zhu Qizhen again?"
The audience was upset about Zhu Youzhen.
Zhu Yuanzhang's voice sounded again, he didn't seem to like Zhu Youzhen executing himself in such a way.
He said angrily: "My emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the descendants of the Zhu family, how can he end his life by committing suicide?"
"Juniors, what kind of situation was it at the end of the Ming Dynasty?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi said word by word: "At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen took over the Ming Dynasty from his brother. β
"At this time, the Ming Dynasty, there are Huang Taiji's Manchu Eight Banners in the east, Li Zicheng, Zhang Zizhong and others in the west, the peasant army of Li Zicheng, Zhang Zizhong and others in the west, Zheng Zhilong's maritime group in the south, and the Mongolian iron cavalry of Mengdan Khan in the north, waiting for the opportunity to move!"
"Da Ming has so many internal and external troubles?!"
Zhu Yuanzhang felt that it was too incredible, since he ascended the throne, he never took the initiative to attack the surrounding countries, but now it seems that in the late Ming Dynasty, there were many countries that came to attack the Ming Dynasty?
So what is the significance of his friendly neighbors all these years?
A wave of anger rose in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart: "Barbarians are barbarians in the end! Since the founding of the country, I have always been friendly with my neighbors. β
"How do you know that when I was poor and weak, they dared to offend the Central Plains!"
"If I am a few years younger, I will definitely drive the expedition and kill all these people!"
The audience is also very sorry in their hearts.
"I said that Emperor Chongzhen can't do it earlier, come and see, if you become the emperor of the late Ming Dynasty, can you do it?"
"In this embattled situation, I am afraid that only emperors like the First Emperor and Li Shimin can turn the tide when they appear!"
"But how many emperors like this have been produced in thousands of years?"
As soon as they heard the names of Emperor Shi and Li Shimin, fans of these two emperors were very excited.
"That's it! If the First Emperor appeared at the end of the Ming Dynasty, I don't think those internal and external troubles are worth mentioning!"
"At the very least, the First Emperor will definitely make good use of Wei Zhongxian, check and balance the civil official group, and then slowly expand his own power and completely consolidate the imperial power.
"You know, our First Emperor is a man who can take back power from both LΓΌ Buwei and the Queen Mother, and finally dominate the six countries!"
The fans of the First Emperor said with a smile, and even in their hearts, they have prepared a set of Ming version of the Imperial Way exclusive to the First Emperor!
And Li Shimin's fans are also energetic.
"Haha, I think if it was Tang Taizong, those civil and official groups would not dare to jump in front of him at all, you must know that the civil and military ministers in the Zhenguan period were the most harmonious, and there would be absolutely no problem if he was allowed to govern the government at that time. β
"As for those anti-imperial court groups that have escaped in all directions, isn't that more casual? With the charm of Emperor Taizong, it is not a casual thing to summon a group of capable people with lofty ideals of the Ming Dynasty to fight?"
"Hey, I know that Emperor Shi and Emperor Taizong have many fans, but this is talking about Emperor Chongzhen, can you give some face?"
"Emperor Chongzhen...... Alas!"
When they thought of Emperor Chongzhen, the audience felt a headache.
Because from Zhu Youzhen's point of view, they can't understand what they think.
This emperor has neither the experience of being trained since childhood like the first emperor, nor the ability of Li Shimin to conquer the world since he was a teenager, it can be said that he is a royal family floating in the air, his ability is not enough at all, no matter how hard he tries, the upper limit is so high.
In such a situation, it is necessary to either be an emperor like the first emperor of the ages, or an emperor like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Zhenguan who are very bold and capable to solve these problems.
As for the rest...... By the end of the Ming Dynasty, wasn't it just about being beaten?
I only saw it.
In the picture of the Mirror of Time and Space.
Zhu Youzhen and the eunuch Wang Chengen stood on the coal mountain, looking at the Daming City that had been captured, with tears in the corners of their eyes, sobbing.
"Cheng'en, I, I'm ashamed of the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty!"
"I, I'm ashamed of the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years!"
Zhu Youzhen's tears couldn't stop jumping down, soaking the ground under his feet.
"I ...... Is it a faint king?"
"Your Majesty, you are not a faint king, it is Li Zicheng and their anti-thieves, it is these anti-thieves who are causing trouble!"
Wang Chengen stood behind Zhu Youjian: "Your Majesty has been mentally decadent every day since he ascended the throne, but whether it is in the early dynasty or when reviewing and reciting the folds, you are diligent and self-controlled, and you have never abandoned state affairs because of personal emotions." β
"The old slave begs Your Majesty, but don't be presumptuous......"
Wang Chenen's eyes were full of tears, as if his heart was about to break.
Zhu Youzhen smiled bitterly: "However, even if I work so hard, I still can't save the Ming Dynasty." β
"It seems that I have done everything for the people of the Ming Dynasty, but it seems that I have done nothing, which makes the people hate me even more. β
"Otherwise, why do so many peasants have to rebel?"
"Because I didn't let them eat enough and dress warmly, I ...... It's a king without virtue!"
Zhu Youzhen's eyes were filled with tears, looking at the Daming River and Mountain in front of him, his eyes were already full of tears, and he could only see a few pavilions.
When Jiang Yi and Zhu Yuanzhang saw the scene in front of them, they had already temporarily ended the conversation.
Jiang Yi also saw Zhu Youzhen for the first time, and he was quite curious, what kind of emperor is this?
Zhu Yuanzhang always looked at Zhu Youzhen intently, and his eyes were slightly red, not knowing what he was thinking.
A gust of wind blew Zhu Youzhen's white hair, and Zhu Youzhen's face was full of haggard wrinkles at the age of 33.
The tears in his eyes seemed to have dried up, and they were faintly oozing blood.
He looked up at the sky, and suddenly with a "bang!", he fell to his knees and shouted, "Ancestor, ancestor!"
"Later generations of Zhu Youzhen, ashamed of the ancestors, ashamed of the Ming Dynasty!!"
Zhu Youzhen faced the ground and slammed his head down.
Every time he raised his head, the stone mark carved into the small stone on his forehead deepened.
Above the coal mountain, there was a burst of "dong dong" sounds.
