[After succeeding to the throne, you found that the country left by your father was already a devastated and crumbling empire. 】

[In the court, the head of the party fight broke the blood, and the emperor was like a mascot, and the Donglin Party, which had the merit of the dragon, has suddenly become the largest party in the court, in charge of the cabinet, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the six ministries, and everyone is in the court. 】

[Under the pressure of the Donglin Party, the isolated courtiers were forced to have no choice but to form the Qi Party, the Chu Party, the Zhejiang Party and other parties to fight against the Donglin Party. For a time, the court was full of blood, and there was a miasma of smoke. Natural disasters continue to occur in various places, and the people of Lebanon are displaced, and a storm of anger is brewing. 】

[On the other hand, on the frontier, the Jianzhou Jurchen chieftain Nurhachi led the army to capture Shenyang, the general soldiers You Shigong and He Shixian were all killed, and the chief military officers Chen Ce, Tong Zhonghua, Qi Jin, and Zhang Mingshi went to aid the Liaodong war, and the Houjin army fought in the Hunhe River, but the whole army was annihilated. After that, Nurhachi captured Liaoyang, an important town in eastern Liaodong, and Yuan Yingtai committed suicide, and the country of the Ming Dynasty was already in danger. 】

[At the beginning, Emperor Jiajing raised hundreds of thousands of troops to crusade in the southwest, so it became the safest place in the Ming Dynasty, with the southwest Qi Wangfu in the town, the southwest for hundreds of years of smooth wind and rain, calm and worry-free, so that the Ming Dynasty no longer has the scourge of war in the Far South, you can concentrate on the war in the north. 】

[But even so, the Ming Dynasty was still defeated in the war in the north. 】

[Now there is bad news and a good news, the bad news is: the Ming Dynasty is about to die, and the danger is second only to the situation that after the change of the civil fort that year, the Wara soldiers are in the city. However, when the capital was defended, the Ming Dynasty had Zhu Gaoxian, the king of Qiwu, and Yu Qian, who could stand up to the Ming Dynasty? 】

[The good news is: If you can save the Ming Dynasty in this situation, even if you are not praised as an emperor through the ages, you will be a generation of Ming monarchs in the history books. 】

[What's more embarrassing is that you don't have the ability to save the sky, your biggest specialty is: doing carpentry. 】

[Your carpentry skills are perfect, and the carpentry you make is lifelike, and you can be described as a generation of grandmasters in the carpenter world. 】

[In order to do a good job of carpentry, you gave your own job "Emperor" to two people. 】

[The affairs in the palace are handed over to the nursing mother Keshi, and the affairs outside the palace are handed over to the eunuch Wei Zhongxian. 】

[Use Wei Zhongxian to curb the Donglin Party, you know, although Wei Zhongxian has the ability to suppress the Donglin Party, it can also cause another dilemma: eunuchs interfere in politics. 】

[Between the Donglin Party's restriction of imperial power and the eunuchs' interference in politics, you wisely chose the latter. While working as a carpenter, he used Wei Zhongxian to balance the situation. 】

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, especially the Hongwu Dynasty, it was the darkest era for eunuchs.

In order to prevent eunuchs from interfering in politics, Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang erected a three-foot-high iron tablet in front of the palace gate, with eight big characters cast on it - "Ministers shall not interfere in political affairs", and officials of the previous dynasty can see this iron tablet every day when they enter the palace.

In the Zhu Qizhen Dynasty, the eunuch Wang Zhen, who was inclined to the government and the opposition, saw that the monument was not pleasing to the eye, and directly threw out the handwriting of the founding emperor, and the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty were not allowed to interfere in politics, which became a joke, and Zhu Qizhen remained silent about this insult to Taizu.

Emperor Tianqi allowed the eunuch Wei Zhongxian to become bigger, but in fact, he was forced to do so.

The Ming Dynasty abolished the prime minister, and cabinet ministers often became powerful ministers, and it was not uncommon for Ming emperors to be overthrown, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse was no exception, and he used Wei Zhongxian to eliminate the Donglin Party and let the emperor regain power.

The power of the eunuch comes from the emperor, and it is a matter of minutes for the emperor to solve the eunuch. No matter how powerful the eunuchs were, such as Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian, once they lost the support of the emperor, they became the target of Wenchen's attack, and their lives could not be saved.

In the final analysis, the eunuch is also the emperor's pawn, and when he needs the eunuch, he will be picked up, and when he is not needed, he will be thrown out to vent his anger to everyone.

[In the summer of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, a flood broke out in Beijing, and drought and locust plagues occurred in Jiangbei and Shandong. In the autumn of that year, there was another big flood in Jiangbei, and a locust plague appeared in Henan. The north and south of the river are in trouble, and the people are not happy; Inside and outside the court, crises lurk. 】

[Two hundred and sixty years ago, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang roared angrily, roaring so that the souls of the alien race were scattered, and the Han people straightened their ridges

！ 】

[One hundred and eighty years ago, Taizu's residual power was exhausted, and the world had forgotten the roar that shook the past and the present. The civil and engineering changes sent the Han people to the edge of the abyss, the Central Plains was lifeless, and when it was about to repeat the mistakes of the past, Zhu Gaoxian, the king of Qiwu who was nearly sixty years old, killed from the southwest to the capital, and then from the capital to the hinterland of Mobei, and did not taste a defeat in the southern and northern wars for more than 50 years, once again pushing the Ming Dynasty to the top of the sun and the moon, awakening the blood of the Han people! 】

[For one hundred and eighty years since King Qi Wu, in the land of the Central Plains, there has been no heroism like Taizu and King Qi Wu. 】

[You Zhu Youxiao is not the first emperor of the ages, and you have no ability to restore the Ming Dynasty, you can only use eunuchs to barely let the empire survive, and let the Han people sink in the country. 】

[On the 18th day of May in the fifth year of the Apocalypse, the boat you were taking when you were swimming in the lake capsized, and although you survived after falling into the water, your body became weaker and weaker. 】

[At this time, it is difficult for you to maintain the calm when you first ascended the throne, and you are groggy all day long, and it is difficult to distinguish which of the ministers in front of you is a loyal minister and which one wants your life. 】

[You know, I am afraid that someone must be behind the instigation of your fall into the water this time, you used Wei Zhongxian to suppress the Donglin Party, it is not difficult for smart people to see that you are the mastermind behind the scenes, you have offended too many people, and there are countless people who want to kill you. 】

[In August of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, you, knowing that time was short, summoned the fifth brother Xinwang Zhu Youzhen to meet you, and you said in a weak voice, "My brother...... When it is Yao Shun...... Daming ...... It's yours......]

[Zhu Youzhen lowered his head, and his eyes were deep and difficult to see. 】

[You know very well in your heart that your fifth brother, Zhu Youzhen, has the ambition of a saint, but he has no talent of a saint, and he always thinks about calculating others but is always calculated by others. 】

[Da Ming, destined to die at the hands of Zhu Youzhen! ] 】

[However, you have no better choice, in such a chaotic situation, you have no better candidate to pass on the throne, and passing the throne to Zhu Youzhen is just a tall man among the short ones, and now the heirs of Renzong are withered. 】

[You are very confused, why did Zhu Di, the ancestor of Chengzu, not pass on the throne to King Qi, but to the crown prince? ] 】

[King Qi's lineage, able to control the southwest for hundreds of years, not only did not gradually weaken, but became more and more prosperous, if the ancestor was located in King Qi, how could he let the Ming Dynasty come to this day? 】

[If Cheng Zu passed on the throne to King Qi back then, you should be a carefree Taiping prince now, not an emperor of the apocalypse who was stuck in a quagmire and struggled. 】

[Well, you are already a dying person, so why bother thinking about this. 】

[In August of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, you died in the Qianqing Palace, and the temple name is "Xizong". 】

[Zhu Youxiao's life simulation of the emperor is over. 】

Seeing this, Zhu Di's heart counted.

Daming is prosperous in Hongwu, prosperous in Yongle, and ashamed of orthodoxy. It was prosperous in Chenghua, and it fell in Jiajing, and the Ming Dynasty, which was left to Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse, was already a rotten empire that leaked everywhere.

Zhu Di doesn't like the Emperor of the Apocalypse much, nor does he dislike it, if you use four words to describe the Emperor of the Apocalypse, it is probably - powerless.

He could only barely do it and not let Daming die in his own hands.

Zhu Di already has a hunch, I am afraid that as the Emperor of the Apocalypse thought, the Ming Dynasty will die at the hands of Zhu Youzhen.

Simulating to the Apocalypse, the terrible situation of the Ming Dynasty was second only to the Ming Dynasty after the civil engineering change, but at that time, there was Zhu Gaoxian, the king of Qi who had not tasted defeat in the battlefield, Yu Qian, who was unparalleled in the country, and Zhu Qiyu, the emperor of Jingtai, a generation of Ming monarchs.

These three people, in which dynasty and which generation can shake the past and the present, King Qi can win no matter how he fights, Yu Qian can defend the country no matter how he defends, and Emperor Jingtai can govern the country no matter how he governs the country.

Who is there in the apocalypse?

He has the Donglin Party, the Eunuch Party, and the Jianzhou Jurchens, who are increasingly threatening in the Northeast?

All kinds of ills, when the empire was weakened to the extreme, all erupted.

Zhu Di suddenly realized a key question: after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, who will dominate the Central Plains?

Rebels?

Or the Jianzhou Jurchen?

No, it's neither.

It's the Southwest Qi Palace!

In the Jiajing Dynasty, 100,000 southwestern troops could run rampant all over the world, and the imperial court at that time had not completely degenerated and fell into a situation of repeated defeats. In the early days of Jiajing, the imperial court was still incorruptible, and Emperor Jiajing was still an aspiring young man, with the ambition that an emperor should have, to collect imperial power and sweep the southwest!

At that time, the Qi Wangfu was the weakest moment, the new Qi King Zhu Youxie had just succeeded to the throne, and the southwest army was uneven, facing the fierce 300,000 imperial army in the southwest.

Then, Jiajing was gone.

The new king Zhu Youxie led 100,000 southwest troops, effortlessly, the imperial army was crushed, and hundreds of thousands of people were captured.

At that time, the Qi Wangfu could already sweep the world, and in the Qi Wangfu of the Apocalypse Dynasty, it would only be more powerful.

He can send troops north at any time and enter the Central Plains!

……

The thirteenth year of Yongle, September

The ninth month of the lunar calendar, also known as "Jiqiu", is the last month of autumn, after the autumn, it is Mengdong, everything withers in September, and the fallen leaves have put on a withered yellow armor stomach for Jinling City, like a veteran in the twilight, it is the heaviest month of the year.

His Majesty decreed yesterday that officials in Beijing must go to the court today, no matter what the reason, as long as there is still a breath left, they must come to the Fengtian Temple to go to the early court, and they must be carried over.

[At present, it is the most complete and best app for listening to books, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and it supports offline reading

God. Those who go to sea all believe in Mazu and wish that the sea will be smooth sailing, and Zheng He is no exception.

But as soon as he returned to the capital, Zheng He quietly replaced "come to God to help" to "Lai Di Mohelp", and changed the object of gratitude from Mazu to Zhu Di.

"After two years of wandering at sea, Zheng He, I've worked hard for you." Zhu Di said with emotion.

Zheng He burst into tears: "Loyal to Your Majesty, the ministers must do their best!"

"Zheng He's heroic martial arts are similar to King Qi, I think, you two should have more common topics." Zhu Di smiled, "After all, both of you are very interested in the West."

Zheng He set his eyes on King Qi, Zhu Gaoxian was wearing a python-patterned robe, standing at the head of the hundred officials, and the person who stood in this position before was the crown prince Zhu Gaochi.

Noticing Zheng He's gaze, Zhu Gaoxian smiled slightly, expressing kindness.

Zheng He suspected that he had seen the wrong person, this is the King of Qi?!

The last time he saw King Qi, it was three years ago, when he couldn't see the slightest shelf on King Qi's body, like an immortal, merry, gentle and soft, a pair of peach blossom eyes amorous and charming, and the three brothers who were caught in the whirlpool of party disputes have a completely different temperament, more like a prince of peace.

And today's King Qi, although he is also young, has the temperament of a mature superior, and his appearance is more similar to his biological mother Queen Xu, but suddenly he seems to see Zhu Di's figure, and he is not angry and arrogant.

Zheng He saluted Zhu Gaoxian: "His Royal Highness King Qi."

"I haven't seen you for many years, and when we meet again today, I feel a lot of emotion in my heart." Zhu Gaoxian also bowed back slightly, showing respect.

Zheng He's mood was a little complicated, during the time he returned to China, he had heard about King Qi's "great achievements", and felt that his worldview had been impacted.

He really couldn't imagine that it was the tame young man who fought in the south and the north, expanded the territory, and even the king of Han and the crown prince were planted in the hands of the king of Qi.

Is this reasonable?

I've only been at sea for two years, and after returning to China, the Ming Dynasty has changed.
