-- The book continues --

Zhu Qizhen officially ascended the throne, the following year changed the name of the year to "orthodox", on February 19, Zhu Qiyu collapsed in Xiyuan, Zhu Qizhen posthumously awarded Zhu Qiyu the title of "King of Yuer"

Cao Jixiang, a native of Luanzhou, Yongping, was once subordinate to Wang Zhenmen and participated in the expedition to Wuliangha.

Cao Jixiang was awarded a large number of fields by Zhu Qizhen because of his meritorious service, and his heir Cao Qin was promoted to the governor of Tongzhi, and later named Zhao Wubo; Cao Jixiang's nephews Cao Xuan, Cao Duo, and Cao Yao were appointed as the hereditary commanders of Jinyiwei and were gradually promoted to governors; There are hundreds or thousands of people who have been able to become officials.

Some officials in the DPRK and China also attached themselves to Cao Jixiang and hoped to be promoted. Cao Jixiang was quite powerful at this time, and he was called "Cao Shi" together with Zhongguo Gong Shi Heng.

Cao Jixiang was not well-versed in literature and ink, and was very greedy, and when he introduced civil and military officials, he often only looked at the amount of bribes he had, regardless of whether the person was competent or not.

Soon, Cao and Shi had conflicts due to conflicts of interest, and Yushi Yang Xuan and Zhang Peng took the opportunity to impeach them. The two gave up their old suspicions and colluded again. They suspected that it was the ministers Xu Youzhen and Li Xian who were the instigators of the cabinet, and jointly went to Yingzong to frame them, and also said that Zhang Peng was the subordinate of the eunuch Zhang Yong, who was executed when Yingzong was reinstated, and Yang Xuan and Zhang Peng were accomplices. Yingzong was furious and imprisoned Yang, Zhang, and the imperial historians who participated in the impeachment, and arrested Xu Youzhen and Li Xian.

Zhu Qizhen tried to defend Datong with his son Shi Biao in Shiheng, so as to control the military power with Shi Heng inside and outside; Illegally made forbidden embroidered python dragon clothes, beds and other illegal things, and was ordered to stay idle. Later, he was imprisoned for the crimes of creating and spreading rumors, raising scoundrels, and spying on the imperial court, and was sentenced to death according to the law of conspiracy. Before the execution, Shi Heng died in prison.

When Cao Jixiang saw Shi Heng end up like this, he was frightened and began to plan to protect himself.

The generals were also afraid that after Cao Jixiang lost power, his position would not be guaranteed, so they were willing to die for Cao Jixiang. Cao Qin once asked the doorman Feng Yi, "Are there any eunuch sons in history?" ”

Feng Yi said: "Your own family, Emperor Wei Wu, is. Cao Qin was very happy when he heard this.

Cao Qin abused lynching of his family member Cao Fulai and was impeached by the supervision officer, and Cao Qin was shocked and made up his mind to rebel.

At this time, Ganzhou and Liangzhou were in an emergency, and Zhu Qizhen ordered Huaining Hou Sun Bo to go west, but he had not yet set off. Cao Jixiang ordered his henchman, Taichang Shaoqing Tang Xu, who was in charge of the Qin Heavenly Prison, to launch a rebellion at dawn on Gengzi Day that month, with Cao Qin supporting the troops and Cao Jixiang leading the forbidden army to respond.

After the plan was decided, Cao Qin gathered the generals together for a night drink.

At this time, the old Han king Zhu Gaoxu led his troops to surround Ma Liang and others, and Cao Qin tried to break through the gates of Anding and other places, but the city gates were all closed, and Cao Qin had to retreat to his home to resist. It happened to be pouring rain from the sky, and Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, led his troops into Cao Qin's house, Cao Qin threw himself into the well and died, and killed Cao Duo and his whole family.

A few days later, Zhu Qizhen ordered Cao Jixiang to be executed in the city, and the matter was reported to the world.

When the ministers asked for a reward for the Han king Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Qizhen refused, because the Han king Zhu Gaoxu killed Xu Youzhen.

In history, Xu Youzhen's first name, the word Xuanyu (Yuanyu), and the character Wu, Xuande for four years, in order to Shuntian Wanping in the middle of the move, after three years in Jingtai, the Yellow River North Pan, Xu Youzhen appointed the right to the imperial history, presided over the governance of Shawan. After a comprehensive investigation and study, Xu Youzhen put forward a management strategy for the restoration of the canal: "first dredge the water, the water potential is to control it, and the decision to stop it is to dredge its siltation".

He successively served as the imperial history of Zuo Yidu, and also entered the military department with the restoration of the merit, the scholar of the Huagai Palace, and the martial arts uncle. He was falsely killed by Yu Qian and Wang Wen, and was later criticized by Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang, and degraded to the people in Golden Tooth (now Baoshan, Yunnan). After his release, he wandered among the mountains and rivers.

Xu Youzhen is erudite and widely informed, where astronomy, geography, the art of war, water conservancy are all involved, good at calligraphy, long in line, grass, won Huaisu, Mi Fu, Ouyang Xun rhyme. He is the author of "Collection of Martial Arts", and his handwriting includes "Song Scroll of Bamboo House".

Xu Youzhen also put forward the famous "Three Strategies for Governing the River in Yanshawan" in the history of Huang Zhihuang, which calmed the trouble of the Shawan River burst, which not only ensured the water level required for the navigation of the canal, but also alleviated the danger of the rupture caused by the large water.

Later, Xu Youzhen died of illness in the eighth year of Chenghua and was buried in Jiali Village under Yusha Mountain in the west of the city.

Now Xu Youzhen was directly beheaded by Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, so that all the people who supported Zhu Qizhen died.

After the Han King Zhu Gaoxu protected Yu Qian and the famous general Fan Guang, Zhu Qizhen directly killed Zhu Qiyu's son Zhu Jianji with the crime of treason, and then Zhu Qizhen prepared to set up his mother demon concubine Sun Luowei as the queen mother, which was opposed by the ministers and clansmen.

Zhu Qizhen not only reused Li Xian, but also used Peng Shi, Lu Yuan, Chen Wen and other virtuous ministers to assist the government, and the government was restored to the benign track of the Sanyang cabinet at the beginning of his accession.

Beginning in July, Zhu Qizhen was terminally ill with beriberi, and he ordered the crown prince Zhu Jianwei (also known as Zhu Jianshen) to handle government affairs in the Wenhua Hall (East Palace).

Soon Zhu Qi sat in the town for three years, died of illness, Zhu Jianshen, and later changed his name to Zhu Jianwei, the year name Chenghua, known as the Chenghua Emperor.

At the beginning of Zhu Jianshen's ascension to the throne, he relied on Li Xian, Shang and other cabinet ministers in the early days, reprimanded Yu Xing, understood the people's feelings, punished the province, inspected the officials, and gathered the capable ministers in the court.

It's a pity that in less than a few years, Zhu Jianshen gradually neglected political affairs, learned magic techniques, indulged in the harem, and greatly favored Wan Guifei, and relied on her leadership in all matters in the inner court, which led to the poor life of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Because Zhu Youzhu was not born, there will be no history in which Zhu Youzhu was generous and benevolent, thrifty, not close to women, diligent in political affairs, and open up his views. At the beginning of his reign, he belittled Fangshi Li Zixing, eunuch Liang Fang, and his relative Wanxi; dismissed more than 2,000 "missionaries" and other deeds.

Coupled with the rebellion of Wan Guifei, Zhu Gaoxu, the Han King who was very famous under the support of everyone, ascended the throne as the emperor, and after the Han King Zhu Gaoxu became the emperor, the first thing was to posthumously recognize Zhu Qiyu's position as the emperor, and he was called "Emperor Gongren Kangdingjing", which affirmed Zhu Qiyu's merits to a certain extent, and gave Zhu Qiyu the temple name "Daizong", and added it as "Emperor Futian Jiandao Gongren Kangding Longwen Buwu Xiande Chongxiaojing Emperor", and let Zhu Qiyu enter the emperor's mausoleum.

The second thing that the Han king Zhu Gaoxu did was to abolish the ancestral system of concubine martyrdom.

The third thing of the Han King Zhu Gaoxu was to posthumously seal the Xiangwang Zhu Zhan and call him Xian.

The fourth thing of the Han King Zhu Gaoxu was to make Zhu Zhantan the crown prince, his eldest son was the grandson, and the Han princess was the queen.

Because the eldest son Zhu Zhanqi died early, and the second son Zhu Zhanqi once betrayed Zhu Gaoyu, which led to the death of Zhu Zhanqi and Zhu Zhanyu, Zhu Gaochu gave Zhu Zhanyao, Zhu Zhanqi, Zhu Zhanping, Zhu Zhanqi, Zhu Zhanqi, Zhu Zhanqi, and several daughters to do business, so that they could stay away from power.

Zhu Gaoxu, the king of the Han Dynasty, was known as the Emperor of Tianwei, who had been in power for three years, and eliminated all the maladministrations of the previous dynasties and comprehensively implemented the new policy. Under his leadership, the monarchs and ministers handled various political issues well and created a situation of "Zhongxing".

In the sixth year of Tianwei, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, abdicated, called the emperor Taishang, led the position of general, and his son Zhu Zhantan ascended the throne, with the year name "Zhengde".

On the other hand, after the death of Ziyexian, the Tatars experienced a period of leaderlessness, which reduced the pressure on the border defense of the Ming Dynasty, until the rise of the little prince (Dayan Khan), expelled Warat, and threatened the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Gaoxu personally conquered Dayan Khan, and after two days of fighting, the little prince's troops saw that they could not take advantage, so they withdrew from the border on the fifth day of October. Zhu Gaoxu led the army in pursuit. When chasing to Pinglu, Shuozhou and other places, a sudden storm arose, black fog covered the sky, and he had to order the withdrawal of troops, and triumphantly returned to Beijing in the first month of the following year. Since then, "although the captives are old and offended, they rarely enter".

When the Emperor Zhu Gaochu returned to the court and passed through Qingjiangpu, the horses were suddenly frightened and the Emperor Zhu Gaochu fell into the water in Qingjiangpu, and then his health deteriorated, and after returning to the capital, the elderly Zhu Gaochu was critically ill, and immediately summoned the cabinet ministers Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie to move into the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, and left a holy decree and a book for Zhu Zhantan.

Soon after the death of Emperor Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Ningyao, the king of Anhua, and Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, successively raised troops to seize the throne, but they were quickly pacified by Wang Shouren, and Zhang Zhong and Xu Tai confronted Wang Shouren to rebel.

Zhu Zhantan followed the books and holy decrees left to him by his father Zhu Gaoxu, ignoring everyone and reusing Wang Shouren.

Because Zhu Zhantan is not the Zhu Houzhao in history, there were no eunuchs headed by Liu Jin Ma Yongcheng, Qiu Ju, Gu Dayong, Zhang Yong and other eight people, who were called the "Eight Tigers" at the time.

Without Liu Jin's chaotic government and other factors, the historical Liu Lie Uprising, Lan Tingrui Uprising, Cao Fu Uprising, Liao Mazi Uprising, Liu Liu and Liu Qi Uprising, Jiang ---- and Xi Nong --- Uprising did not break out.

Zhu Zhantan, with the assistance of his old ministers Yu Qian, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian and Wang Shouren, started the "Zhengde" Zhongxing that did not exist in history.

In the ninth year of "Zhengde", in April of the same year, Zhu Zhantan died in a dream, and his son Zhu Qihe ascended the throne, but Zhu Qihe didn't know whether it was because of excessive happiness or what, and he died suddenly three hours before he ascended the throne.

Under the support of the old minister Yu Qian, Zhu Qihe's seventeen-year-old grandson Zhu Youjian ascended the throne, and the year name was "Silk Canal".

Zhu You saw that the succession was in government affairs, rectifying the dynasty, and implementing new policies. The power of the ceremonial supervisor was reduced, the eunuchs were abolished, the supervision system was strictly enforced, and the functions and powers of the factory guard and the legal department were strictly divided.

When Zhu You saw the "Silk Canal" for two years, Yu Qian died of illness, and Zhu You saw that Wang Shouren was reused, severely punished corruption and perversion of the law, surveyed the Huangzhuang and Xunqi Manor, and returned the land to the people.

In the fourth year of "Silk Canal", Zhu Youjian saw the birth of his eldest son, and despite the ancestral teachings left by Zhu Gaoxu, he named his son Zhu Houyu, and Zhu Houyu changed from his father Zhu Youqi in history to the current Zhu Youjian.

History seems to be revised, Zhu Youjian made every effort to cultivate Zhu Houxi, Zhu Houxi was very smart when he was young, and Zhu Youjian taught him to read poems a few times and he could recite them accurately. Later, under the guidance of Zhu Youjian, he studied ancient books, and learned the "Book of Filial Piety", "University" and the way of self-cultivation and family governance. Not only that, Zhu Youjian also let him participate in the sacrifices and ceremonies of the palace, so he became familiar with various etiquette and norms at a very young age.

In the fourteenth year of "Silk Canal", Zhu You saw that he was critically ill and entrusted Wang Shouren, who was only ten years old, with the assistance of Wang Shouren, ascended the throne as the emperor, and the year name was "Jiajing".
