Chapter 69: Side effects are also effects
In the imperial study, Zhu Di calmed down and prepared to simulate Zhu Qizhen's son - "Zhu Jianshen"
In the previous simulation, he knew the turning point of the Ming Dynasty from its heyday to its weakness.
Zhu Qizhen, a little genius, almost led Daming to extinction, making Daming extremely weak.
Fortunately, King Qi, who was sitting in the southwest, turned the tide, minimized the loss of the Ming Dynasty, and retained the fire for the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Di thought about whether the ending would be better if Zhu Gaoxian directly forced Emperor Jingtai to give way to Xian after repelling Wara and returning to Beijing.
It's a pity that King Qi at that time was no longer young, he was already an old man.
He used his last bit of life to reserve hope for Daming.
[Choose simulation, Zhu Jianshen's life as an emperor]
[In the twelfth year of orthodoxy, you were born in the Forbidden City of Shuntian, and your father was the orthodox emperor Zhu Qizhen. Zhu Qizhen loves you very much, gives you the best life, and even ordered you to be made the crown prince when you were less than two years old. 】
[It's a pity that this situation didn't last long, in the fourteenth year of orthodoxy, Zhu Qizhen received the information of the invasion of the Warat army, and immediately planned to go out in person. 】
[As soon as the ministers heard the news, they immediately objected, the battle situation ahead was unknown, wouldn't it be too dangerous for the emperor to go on the expedition at this time, but Zhu Qizhen was inexplicably confident, and despite everyone's opposition, he still chose to drive the expedition in person. 】
[In this battle, it was a fiasco, Ling's father was captured, and the Warat army was violent. 】
[At that time, the Wara army rushed all the way and was about to take the capital, but at the time of crisis, the court decided to set up your second uncle Zhu Qiyu as the emperor and defend the Beijing division, and in the end it was your uncle Zhu Gaoxian, the king of Qi, who led the southwest army to defeat the Warat army and keep the last dignity of the Ming Dynasty. 】
Zhu Di held his forehead, a little tired.
Damn, why do you want him to feel this pain again?
He's seen the change of the civil fort three times!
Every time it was like a knife stabbed into his heart, he wanted to pick off Zhu Qizhen's skin, but unfortunately Zhu Qizhen was not born yet.
[After everything was settled, Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu took your father's place and sat firmly on the throne. 】
[Emperor Jingtai abolished your crown prince, appointed his son Zhu Jianji as the crown prince, and arranged special personnel to monitor your every move. 】
[This is human nature, he is now the emperor, and he is already very merciful if he didn't kill you. 】
[However, your childhood is still dark, and the only person with him is the palace maid Wan Zhen'er, so you are also more dependent on this palace maid, and even have inexplicable feelings for this palace maid who is seventeen years older than you. 】
[To say that the affairs of the court are really changeable, a year later, the Wara army released your father Zhu Qizhen. Zhu Qiyu was very uneasy in his heart, he didn't want Zhu Qizhen to come back, and on the other hand, he couldn't explain to the ministers, so he had to welcome Zhu Qizhen back to the palace, but he secretly imprisoned him in the South Palace. 】
[You thought that your life should be like this, and your father was under house arrest to death, but you don't have any complaints, after all, your father almost let the Ming Dynasty die, and this was his own doing. 】
[But you never expected that your own father would be so powerful, launch a change to seize the door, and re-ascend the throne, and you will become the prince again in a dream. 】
Zhu Di's face is not good, and he doesn't have a good impression of this son of Zhu Qizhen.
If it were a generational rank, this man would have been his great-great-grandson, the son of the son of his son's son.
Although the origin of the different paths, Zhu Di only felt ashamed, how could he have such a descendant of the dignified Yongle Emperor!
Shame on you!
It's a shame!
Calculate carefully, Zhu Qizhen is not useless for Daming, and the side effects are also effective!
When you reach adulthood, your father will choose a wife for you to usher in your coming-of-age ceremony. 】
[You want to marry Wan Zhen'er, who grew up with you since childhood, but this is an impossible thing, one is the prince, the other is the palace maid, and the identities of the two are an insurmountable gap. In the end, the father found you the daughter of a minister, and a political marriage was formed. 】
[In the eighth year of Tianshun, Zhu Qizhen died, you inherited the throne and changed the era name to Chenghua. Because Zhu Qizhen did not make any great contributions during his reign, he was close to the villain and the distant virtuous ministers, and finally led to the killing of loyal ministers, and the common people revolted and protested. In the end, what you inherited was just a weakened empire that leaked everywhere. 】
[As soon as you ascended the throne, you felt how much trouble your father left you. Thieves are rampant in the northern and southern Beijing, Sichuan, Huguang, and Jingxiang areas. 】
[You want to send troops to suppress bandits, but you don't have many useful generals in your hands, because most of the most warlike generals in the Ming Dynasty have died in Tumubao, and after that, Yu Qian, the new generation of anti-Liang, was also beheaded by your father. 】
[In the huge empire, no one can use it! ] 】
[Wait, there seems to be another person.] 】
Zhu Di didn't need to think about it to know who this person was, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
At the beginning, Zhu Qizhen wanted to kill this person, but he couldn't kill him, but now he has fulfilled Zhu Jianshen.
[King Qi Zhu Gaoxian, this old man is seventy-four years old this year, and his body is in his old age, and he may pass away suddenly at any time. 】
[However, you have to reactivate this old prince Qi, because Da Ming really can't find anyone who can quell the disaster left by his father in a short period of time. 】
[Seventy-four-year-old Qi Lao Wang Zhu Gaoxian once again set foot on the battlefield, and in two months, he pacified the violence of the barbarians in the mountain capital of Sichuan, broke the Yao rebels in Datengxia, Guangxi, and renamed Datengxia "Broken Vine". 】
[Subsequently, the old prince of Qi broke Liu Tong, the leader of the bandits in the Jingxiang area in Nanzhang, and captured Liu Tong. His henchman Shi Long fled and moved into Sichuan instead. Old Prince Qi had just captured the bandit leader Shi Long and others, and pacified the bandits in the Jingxiang area, when bad news came again. 】
[Mao Lizi invaded Guyuan, and at the same time as the old prince Qi pacified the bandits, he invaded Ningxia, and Ningxia commanded Jiao Zheng to die in battle. 】
[The old prince Qi went non-stop to conquer the Maoli children, and in July, he finally put down the last rebellion in the Ming Dynasty. 】
[In the same month, the old prince Qi fell ill, he was already an old man in his seventies, and he fought for nearly a thousand miles in order to quell the rebellion, draining his last vitality. 】
[In August of the first year of Chenghua, Zhu Gaoxian, the king of Qi, died of illness, and the whole country was killed, and everyone was mourning for the old prince who supported the backbone of the Ming Dynasty. 】
When Zhu Di saw this, he couldn't help but feel melancholy.
Unexpectedly, King Qi had the same ending as him, and finally died on horseback.
It's just that Zhu Di died at the peak of the Ming Dynasty, and King Qi died from the decline of the Ming Dynasty.
In the second half of King Qi's life, he patched up the swelves for the devastated Ming Dynasty to make up for the emptiness of the empire, and finally at the age of seventy, he finally fell ill on the way to the journey.
Zhu Di suddenly remembered that King Qi once said to him, "Do your best, know the destiny of heaven".
Strategists are in people, success is in the sky, Zhu Gaoxian's countless exploits are worthy of the Ming Dynasty.
