Just after Zhu Di's third personal expedition, Xu Miaoyun, who had been missing for many years, appeared in front of Zhu Di, Xu Miaoyun talked with Zhu Di all night, and when Zhu Di knew that his second son Han Wang was steamed by his grandson, he couldn't help but be angry.

Zhu Di didn't find that there was a dark room in the room at all, and it was the foot of the wall that King Han listened to.

Zhu Di couldn't help asking: Zhu Yuanzhang not only formulated the rules for naming future generations for himself, but also drew up two crosses for each branch, and the characters of Zhu Di's branch are: Gao Zhan Qi Jianyou, Hou Zai Yi Changyou, Cihe Yi Bozhong, Jian Jingdi Xianyou. It's that generation.

Who is out and who is useless?

"Fourth brother, who do you want to hear?" Xu Miaoyun asked.

"Then tell me, Junki's son!" Zhu Di smiled.

"Oh? Daming God of War! ”

"What? Daming God of War! Great! Zhu Di couldn't help laughing when he heard Xu Miaoyun say this.

"Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen is the eldest son of Ming Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji, and his mother is a generation of demon queen Sun Ruowei............"

Zhu Qizhen was originally the son of the noble concubine Sun Ruowei, Zhu Qizhen officially ascended the throne, and changed the name to orthodoxy the following year. The lord Shaoguo was suspicious, and all state affairs were handled by the Empress Dowager Zhang, who appointed the "Sanyang Cabinet" to take charge of the government and launched the Battle of Luchuan, which led to the loss of comprehensive national strength.

Under the conspiracy of the noble concubine Sun Ruowei, the original virtuous Empress Hu was abolished, and Sun Ruowei was appointed as the queen, Sun Ruowei asked the eunuch Wang Zhen to accompany Zhu Qizhen, and also gave Zhu Qizhen a teacher. In the face of the increasingly powerful Warat, the courtiers repeatedly asked for an increase in armaments and a rectification of the military system, but they were all rejected by Wang Zhen.

The Empress Dowager Zhang wanted to kill Wang Zhen, but only saved his life under the intercession of Zhu Qizhen and several ministers, and when the Empress Dowager Zhang was still alive, Wang Zhen was unable to control the court, and went directly to the death of the Empress Dowager Zhang.

At this time, the Tatars invaded, and the Tatars were about to be wiped out by the Ming Dynasty, and soon Walla invaded the Ming Dynasty. In the northwest of Beijing, the whole army was annihilated, and Ming Yingzong was captured by Wara, which is known as the "Civil Engineering Change" in history.

Hundreds of thousands of displaced people revolted among the people, causing the Ming Dynasty's national strength to recover from the Jingtai period to be damaged again.

And Zhu Qizhen's only contribution was that when he died of illness at the age of thirty-eight, he abolished the funeral system of palace concubines, and Zhu Qizhen passed on to his son Zhu Jianshen......

"How can I have such offspring! I'm! Zhu Di scolded angrily after hearing this.

"Do you want to hear it?" Xu Miaoyun asked.

"Is that dog thing Zhu Qizhen also a waste-thing? I died at the hands of Zhu Qizhen! Zhu Di said angrily.

At the beginning of Zhu Jianshen's accession to the throne, he conformed to the will of the people, rehabilitated Yu Qian's wrongs, and restored the title of Emperor Jingdi, winning the support of the government and the opposition and ensuring the stability of the political situation. In the early days, he relied on Li Xian, Shang and other cabinet ministers, expelled Yu Xing, understood the people's feelings, assigned provincial punishments, inspected officials, and gathered capable ministers in the court, Zhu Jianshen also set up prefectures and counties in the local area after suppressing the popular uprising, pacified the displaced people, and the displaced people got a place, and the problem of the displaced people was alleviated.

In his later years, Zhu Jianshen also gradually learned about the indiscriminate use of monks and Taoist officials, and began to eliminate them one after another, relying on the virtuous and virtuous eunuchs Huai'en and Qin En, the government was calm, and the society as a whole was still "fortunate to be well-off", and there was nothing to do.

During Zhu Jianshen's reign, he vigorously developed culture and gave birth to the world-famous Chenghua porcelain. During this period, the cultural atmosphere was relatively loose, and he personally compiled the book "Wenhua Great Training" to train his descendants.

Zhu Jianshen is also an emperor with extremely high attainments in calligraphy and painting, in addition to "A Mass of Harmony and Qi Map", he also painted a "Good Omen of the Year". These two works, together with the "Buddha of Amitayus" painted by the Qing Dynasty court painter Ding Guanpeng, are known as the "Three Treasures of Auspiciousness" by the people.

Li Bing, the governor of Liaodong, was the deputy commander-in-chief. The soldiers are divided into three roads: the left road out of the Hunhe River, the Chai River over the Shimen, and the Tumu River to the watershed; The right route passes through the black pine forest of Phoenix City at the mouth of Yahu Pass and Xichang, and the Motianling reaches the Pozhu River; The main force crosses the Suzi River from Fushun through Bodao Mountain and Sticky Fish Ridge to the ancient city.

Because he reigned for twenty-three years, he did not summon ministers for a long time, and the execution of political affairs was carried out by eunuchs.

In his later years, he relied on the eunuchs Huai'en and Qin Ji. Wynne dared to admonish. Qin Ji once served in the East Palace, serving the prince to study.

Both eunuchs had a good reputation in the court. Queen Wang was indifferent. All matters in the court rely on the leadership of Wan Guifei.

Wan Guifei treats the eunuch palace very strictly. Every time the eunuch has rumors and slander, there are many inaccuracies.

Wan Guifei's father is Wan Gui, with a mellow temperament, and every admonishment to his sons and nephews is self-controlled. After Wan Gui's death, Zi Wan Xijin commanded Tongzhi, arrogant and greedy, befriended the eunuch Liang Fang and others in the name of tribute to seek rewards and profits, and became infamous outside the court.

In the twenty-third year of Chenghua, Wan Guifei died of illness. It is said that after angrily tarring the palace maid, phlegm gushed and died.

In August of this year, Zhu Jianshen fell ill and died, and the posthumous crown prince Zhu Youzhi became the emperor.

After finishing speaking, Xu Miaoyun looked at Zhu Di's speechless expression and didn't speak.

"Ah, retribution! Is this a punishment for my rebellion? Zhu Di sighed faintly.
