Chapter 451: The Darkest Hour: Zhu Qizhen (5)

"Fourth, I think I may not die, hehe."

Zhu Qiyu scared Zhu Jianyu.

"Dad, my son wishes you lived for another two years." Zhu Jianyu knew that the old emperor was hanging his life purely by medicine, and the lamp was completely exhausted.

"I'm tired and don't want to stay up."

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "You have always wanted to know, the story of the Orthodox Emperor and me, today while I still understand it in my mind, I will tell you." ”

The story of these two brothers can definitely be described as popular.

"I first met him, I was eight years old, and he was nine years old."

"When I entered the palace from the outer house, the Empress Dowager Wu told me that I should call my brother first and strive to get my brother's favor."

"Because at that time, he was the crown prince, he was the only son of the first emperor, and I was a disgraceful son, which was not officially recognized at that time."

"The main reason why I can be recognized is that the heirs of the first emperor are thin, except for him, it is me, and with the last order of the first emperor, I will enter the palace smoothly."

"Under my deliberate stammering, he is good to me."

"In every sense of the word, he is my good brother."

"Because I don't pose the slightest threat to his throne, brotherhood and brotherhood are a good way for him to gain political capital."

"Before the age of twenty-two, I have been living under his wings, he treats me really well, the king of Yu is sealed by him, all the wealth and wealth are given by him, and he is reluctant to leave me in the capital."

"He went out to fight and stayed in prison."

"Reasonably, I have to admit that he is my good brother."

"And from a rational point of view, he is also a good emperor, after he became in power, he was not as wasted in political affairs as Emperor Xuanzong, but diligent, and he also wanted to restructure the army."

"Actually, this idea in the restructured army was put forward by Emperor Xuanzong in the ninth year of Xuande, but in the first month of the tenth year of Xuande, Emperor Xuanzong suddenly died."

"The orthodox emperor received a strict imperial education, and he was an ambitious man, and after he became in power, he wanted to reform the army, go to sea again, and propose various measures such as changing water transportation to sea transportation."

"It stands to reason that he should be an outstanding emperor."

Zhu Jianyu was stunned, from his father's mouth, he actually gave such a positive evaluation to the orthodox emperor!

That's, isn't it?

"But!"

Zhu Qiyu sat up slowly: "He is my good brother, the orthodox dynasty can be regarded as politically clear, the reform concept is very advanced, and he is indeed a good emperor!" ”

"But he shouldn't have surrendered!"

"The change of Tumubao, he can be defeated, but he should die!"

"My Zhu family, there are no soft bones!"

"From Taizu, Taizong, even Emperor Renzong, they have all killed people!"

"Don't look at Emperor Renzong is a big fat man, the temple name Renzong, in fact, he is also a tough guy, he has never bowed his head in his life!"

"King Han and King Zhao are all iron men who come and go in blood!"

"Emperor Xuanzong, but also the emperor immediately, he once slashed a strong enemy, which can be described as iron-clad!"

"Emperor Taizu has so many sons, but there is a soft egg?"

"Even Emperor Jianwen has the courage to self-immolate and die!"

"My Zhu family, there are no soft bones!"

"He can be defeated, but he can't surrender!"

"If you lose, you can do it all over again!"

"Surrender, my Daming's backbone will be broken!"

"I can't tolerate him!"

"He's guilty! He has a great sin! ”

Zhu Qiyu roared: "If I am captured in the change of Tumu Fort, I will definitely die standing and never live on my knees!" ”

"I, the Ming Imperial Family, there is no one who kneels!"

"What about him? More than kneeling! ”

"I also opened the gate of the border gate!"

"Indulge Warat into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty to loot! There are no less than 100,000 tragic deaths, and no less than 100,000 looted people! ”

"I, the fourth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the backbone of the Ming Dynasty, was lost in his hands!"

"My Ming Dynasty's sufficient warehouse system completely collapsed, the border defense collapsed, the civilian life collapsed, the military collapsed, and the Ming Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline, and it was lost in his hands!"

"People can be regenerated when they are gone, and they can be earned again when the money is gone, but the spirit is gone, the inheritance is gone, how can it be continued?"

"How can I not hate?"

"Don't talk about family affection, even if it's my own son, I will never be able to forgive him!"

"He can be defeated, why should he surrender?"

"It's just a matter of surrendering, why do you want to make a holy decree to force the border pass to open the border defense, and let the Varat army drive straight in!"

"Why!"

Zhu Qiyu was hoarse: "It's been seventy years!" I still can't let it go! I still hate him! ”

"He's the emperor! Be the master of this empire! ”

"Why should he let his people suffer undeserved losses!"

"Why let Daming collapse!"

"Why?"

"His surname is Zhu, the four emperors of Taizu, Taizong, Renzong, and Xuanzong, which one is a soft egg?"

"Why did he kneel?"

"Seventy years have passed, and I am going to die, and I still hate him! I hate him for a moment! ”

"Even if I go underground, I'll kill him again!"

Zhu Jianyu rarely saw his father's emotional out-of-control.

He couldn't understand what the Ming Dynasty had declined to because of the Tumubao Incident and the Battle of Beijing, it could be said that the north was in devastation, starvation was everywhere, and every family didn't even have clothes to wear and couldn't eat enough.

These are all caused by Zhu Qizhen's order to open the border defense!

Without his holy decree, even if Warat has a million soldiers, he will not be able to break the border defense of the Ming Dynasty!

"Okay!"

"Even if he kneels, he is afraid of death, he asks for life, he is reluctant to die!"

"Good!"

"I can understand him."

"As long as he doesn't open the Ming border, I won't hate him so much."

"He can write a letter to the imperial court, and I will spend money to ransom him, and I will give him as much as I want! Even, when he came back to ask for the throne, I gave it to him! ”

"I don't want it!"

"But why did he open the Daming Frontier!"

"Fourth, you don't know, in the first year of Jingtai, after the Battle of Beijing, the entire north of the Ming Dynasty declined into what it looked like."

"Hongwu Dynasty, what the north looks like, Jingtai Dynasty is what it looks like."

"If there is no holy decree from him, call to open the border and close the city gate, where will the defense of Beijing come from?"

"How could the North have declined like this! It's all his sin! ”

"Why does the Jingtai Dynasty completely rely on Caoyun, just because the north is completely rotten, rotten."

"It's so rotten, you can't imagine it, even in Gyeonggi, you can't see a few people for dozens of miles, it's all wasteland, overgrown with weeds."

Zhu Qiyu spit out a breath of turbidity: "He dares to let it go and enter Beijing City first, what else can't he do!" ”

"After the change in the civil fort, my own brother died!"

"At least in my heart, he's dead!"

"The courtiers blame a eunuch!"

"But I don't want to, if he didn't give him, how dare Wang Zhen do those things!"

"I admire those civil officials, and I have found many, many reasons for the change of Tumubao, which I think is ridiculous."

"What bullshit reasons, it's all excuses!"

"No excuse can wash him away!"

"I hate him!"

"Even if I am allowed to ascend to the throne of God because of the change in his civil fort, I hate him!"

"Even after seventy years, my hatred for him has not diminished in a quarter of an hour!"

"Hate him for making the extremely prosperous Da Ming become full of holes!"

"I hate him for letting the city defense built up by the Daming border pass for more than 70 years be destroyed in one fell swoop!"

"Hating him for allowing the Ming Dynasty to enter the forced strategic contraction from external development; Hate him because of the defeat of Warat, which led to the vassals of the vassal state, and they all regarded me as a laughing stock! ”

"Do you know, Yongle Dynasty, how many vassal states I have in the Ming Dynasty! More than a hundred! All over Asia! It can be said that the whole of Asia is the land of my Ming Dynasty! ”

"But after the change of Tumubao, don't say that the whole of Asia, even Guizhou is gone!"

"North Korea and Annan have seen all the jokes of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Although the vassal kingdom has not separated from the Ming Dynasty, they are not very concerned about me."

"Uszon is not allowed to send people to the plateau! It's looking down on Daming. ”

"Fourteen years of orthodoxy, four years to Jingtai, how many times a year has Yunnan rebelled!"

"I can't suppress it!"

"The three expeditions to Luchuan have made all the vassals in Yunnan see the weakness of the Ming Dynasty, and after the defeat of Tumubao, everyone in the world has seen through the Ming Dynasty as a paper tiger!"

"Da Ming is over!"

"Two capitals and thirteen provinces, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangxi have all left the arms of the Ming Dynasty, and even Liaodong is not stable, the people in Huguang are everywhere, and Shandong is starving all over the wilderness, and the Ming Dynasty can support it, but only a few provinces!"

"The whole north is so rotten that it can't be rotten."

"Only Jiangnan is left to maintain the finances of the entire Ming Dynasty."

"Why did Emperor Yongle move the capital to Beijing? It is to keep the king guarding the country, to maintain the military strength to never decline, and to keep opening up to the outside world. ”

"Emperor Yongle, with great talents and strategies, wants to build a huge empire on land and on the sea, and restore the prosperity of the Han and Tang dynasties."

"But it was destroyed in the hands of his unfilial grandson!"

"Once the civil fort is defeated, Daming has nothing."

"Open up a fart, eating is a problem!"

"Not because of the defeat of a war, but because he called the Ming border defense!"

"The entire border defense system was destroyed, countless elite soldiers were slaughtered, and the entire north of the Ming Dynasty became a place for the Hu people to run horses."

"It's completely rotten."

"Riddled with holes!"

"The point is that people's faith is gone!"

"Don't dare to fight!"

"All the generals, they are terrified!"

"No one dares to fight."

"When I saw the Hu man on horseback, I trembled, and I was afraid, because I couldn't beat him."

"The change of Tumu Fort broke the backbone of the Ming Dynasty."

"To be precise, it was he who called the door and brought down Daming!"

Zhu Qiyu coughed violently, calmed down, and said slowly: "If I didn't say it before, the battle to defend Beijing is a war that cannot be won!" ”

"In that war, the entire city of Beijing was a battlefield."

"I can't win."

"Those who can fight and dare to fight are dead!"

"The rest are cowards who don't dare to fight, and they're all rubbish."

"It's not that the big ones are weak, but the powerful ones are dead!"

Zhu Qiyu closed his eyes, tears rolling on his eyelids: "The Ming Dynasty will never be able to open up to the outside world, the national policy set by the Yongle Dynasty cannot be done, and the foundation left by the Hongwu and Yongle Dynasty is gone." ”

"Not to mention pioneering, even I have to ask Jiangnan for food."

"If there is no luck, the Ming Dynasty will have to starve to death, don't say that the border guards are raised, that is, I have to be raised in Jiangnan."

"So the power of the Jiangnan gentry is rapidly expanding."

"Daming is called two capitals and thirteen provinces, but in fact, there are only two capitals and five provinces left, and these provinces still don't listen to me."

"I hate him!"

"I will never be able to forgive him!"

"Because of him, more than half a million soldiers and civilians were killed."

"Because of him, millions of people have been looted, how many women have been insulted, too many to count!"

"In the whole of Gyeonggi, every family hangs white, and in the whole north, there is not a single family that has no dead people."

"The north has been completely reduced to a rotten land."

"Because of him, Da Ming has changed from the world hegemon to the object of the world's ridicule, and even small countries in Puer laugh at me Da Ming."

"Because of him, the Ming border defense system collapsed, and he couldn't even do the guards, let alone attack the Hu tribe? Can't do it anymore! ”

"Because of him, I have to kneel to the gentry in Jiangnan to beg for food, and the entire north has to live on me for food!"

"The Ming Dynasty has also become a joke!"

"The old Zhu family has also become a laughing stock because of this!"

"Da Ming's spine is broken, and he can't get up straight."

Zhu Qiyu let out a breath of turbidity: "I hate him, when he returned to Beijing, I wanted to open a temple and kill him with my own hands!" ”

"But the world won't let it!"

"And I was also blinded by power at that time, and I didn't dare to insist, and I still regarded him as the emperor, is he worthy?"

"He doesn't deserve it!"

Zhu Qiyu calmed down and lay on the bed depressedly: "I have nothing to do." ”

"The level of governance at that time was terrible."

"Either kill him, or raise him."

"But I didn't do it."

"I'm a human being, and if I'm a human being, I have feelings, he's sorry for Daming, but he's pretty good to me, and he's a good brother."

"To tell the truth, in my heart, I am more or less ashamed of him, but I will never spit out the throne I have obtained."

"When he first lived in Nangong, I was still very guilty, just like a child, the first time he took away another child's favorite toy, he would panic, hesitate, fear, and feel guilty, and I was like that."

"But if you rob it twice or three times, you get used to it."

"Or if someone tells me he's going to snatch your beloved toy away, I won't feel guilty."

"Yes, not long after he returned, a courtier advised me to return the throne to him, and my guilt disappeared and became vicious."

"I will never return the throne to him, never!"

"But there are so many people who give such advice, and I am starting to get scared."

"My first thought was to spy on him, would he contact outsiders and instigate the courtiers to let him be restored? My thoughts are very naΓ―ve. ”

"I really thought so, and I did so, and I began to prevent him from leaving Nangong for half a step, and sent people to monitor him."

"Not long after the surveillance, the palace and the court all said that I treated him harshly."

"I don't know anything about politics, like a rebellious child, and the more they say that I treat him badly, the more I have to do it, even if I never thought of it that way."

"At this time, Empress Qian, my Empress Hang, Empress Wang, and Empress Dowager Sun all came to persuade me, hoping that I would treat him better."

"I promised them."

"I am a donkey, they all understand me, as long as they say something good, I will listen."

"You didn't expect that, when I was young, I was also such a character."

"However, the people who became emperors were suspicious, and when I first listened, I couldn't sleep for many nights tossing and turning."

"I came up with a poisonous plan, and found an opportunity to deduct on the head of the orthodox emperor, so that I could monitor him justifiably."

"I didn't think about killing him, because I knew I couldn't kill him."

"As long as I can keep a strict eye on him, I will be very content."

"There was the Golden Knife Case."

"This Golden Knife case is actually just a trivial matter, I thought I had found a good opportunity to deal with the orthodox emperor, and I took the opportunity to make trouble, but I didn't expect that when it was going well, Lu Zhong suddenly retracted his confession, making my hard work go to waste."

"Let me and him go completely strange."

"If I had been a little more vigilant or more decisive at that time, there would have been no change in seizing the door."

"At that time, I was indecisive."

"Moreover, I want to have a good reputation, but I am not willing to give up the throne, and I am not thorough in doing things, and I always fantasize that the political struggle is to invite guests to dinner, which is extremely simple."

"Hang often mentions his life, and I never thought at the time that she was a spy buried by my side in the palace."

"Even if someone told me at the time, I wouldn't believe it, because I had a son with her, and let her son succeed him as the crown prince, how could it be a spy?"

"People are like that, they only believe what they want to see, but they don't want to believe the truth."

"In the turmoil of Yi Chu, Wang kept advising Yu me, don't Yi Chu, but I didn't listen, and I also sent her into the cold palace, Wang is also a spy."

"At that time, the Wang family persuaded me hard, but I didn't understand at that time, it was the wind deliberately put by the Empress Dowager Sun, let me not be easy to store, and be honest and be a puppet."

"To be honest, Empress Dowager Sun had already backed down at that time."

"You can temporarily give me the throne, but you can't save it, Zhu Jianshen must be the crown prince, and this is also the unanimous opinion of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty."

"Wang's words have been made very clear, only I don't understand."

"I'm stupid."

"The Wang family is also a spy arranged by the Empress Dowager Sun in the palace of the king of China."

"A wife and a concubine, all are spies!"

"I've lived with them for so long, I just can't see it, do you think I'm stupid?"

"Indeed, my understanding of politics is careless, and my political skills are immature, so I didn't hear the deep meaning at all, didn't react in time, and was still immersed in the sweet dream of the throne being inherited from me."

"Instead, the Wang family was sent into the cold palace, causing the Wang family to be disheartened with me."

"That's why the Wang family is blackened, and they will take revenge on me!"

"Hang was also immersed in joy at that time, and did not obey the arrangement of the Empress Dowager Sun, and the Empress Dowager Sun was also forbearant enough to expose Hang's identity."

"The Golden Knife case is a wrong political incident launched at the wrong time."

"And through the Golden Knife case, I didn't notice the results of the trial in time, but thought that the orthodox emperor had no ambition to restore, so I wanted to make my son the crown prince and let the unification pass on in my branch."

"This has led to the inevitable failure of the easy storage turmoil."

"Moreover, in the turmoil of Yichu, I made even more wrong decisions, making everyone realize that I will not be the emperor."

"I actually bribed the officials to get them to agree to Yichu."

"Hahaha, ridiculous, right? Fourth, I also made such a fatal mistake at that time! ”

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "I was really stupid at that time, and I made fatal mistakes in both incidents, so it was not for nothing that I was taken away." ”

"From an afterthought, I shouldn't blame Wang, Wang had already reminded me at the time, but I didn't hear it, but instead sent her into the cold palace, which also prompted her to turn black."

"Hang's blackening is because after Zhu Jianji died, I snubbed her, and she hated me!"

"The blackening of one wife and one concubine is directly related to me."

"In the turmoil of Yi Chu, I bribed the courtiers, so that Chen Xun discovered my immaturity, and from then on, a huge net began to envelop me."

"Two political blunders made both Empress Dowager Sun and the Orthodox Emperor see my incompetence."

"I'm completely relieved of me."

"Since then, the change of seizing the door has been planned."

"I don't know any of that."

"Zhu Jianji is dead, that's a warning to me."

"I don't play political games according to the rules, so Zhu Jianji died."

"I was scared."

"Zhu Jianji can die quietly under my nose."

"Then, I might die quietly like him."

"I'm scared."

"Moreover, there is a voice of God's curse between the government and the opposition, and I believe it."

"Fourth, it's ridiculous to see that the first emperor is so naΓ―ve and naΓ―ve."

"But it's true."

"Because, I'm just a vassal king, a tool that has been temporarily pushed out."

"I didn't have a royal education, so I don't understand anything."

"The education of the Ming vassal king is a pig-raising education, which magnifies personal preferences and emotions, and allows the vassal king to shift from politics to personal joy."

"That's what I was taught."

"Don't talk about being an emperor, just say that I will be a king, I won't be a king, because there is a strict system in the palace to assist me to be a good king, and the vassal king is only responsible for eating, drinking and having fun, so it is said to be a pig-raising education."

"From the Yongle Dynasty to the Orthodox Dynasty, all the vassal kings received a pig-raising education."

"All of them are manure machines, and nothing else."

"Look at those feudal kings who have been divided, when they arrive in the fiefdom, they only know how to enjoy them, and the governance of the country is in a mess, this is the result of spending several years cultivating them."

"It is in this context that I cultivated the vassal king."

"Surely I don't understand anything."

"Moreover, the vassal king has been instilled with the idea of obedience since he was a child, and since I was a child, even my mother taught me like this, to listen to my brother and the court."

"Obedience is the first lesson that vassal kings must learn."

"And in the palace, the second lesson I learned was, cowardice!"

"I'm very timid."

"This is the second lesson that the vassal king must learn, cowardly!"

"You don't know, when I was in the palace, there were often eunuchs who would scare me, the kind of old eunuchs who dressed up as grimaces and deliberately scared me!"

"When I'm having fun, I'll suddenly push me down!"

"Even, throw me into the water! Deliberately delay the time to save me! ”

Zhu Qiyu's eyes flashed with fear: "I don't know if all vassal kings have to be educated like this, or because the first emperor is gone, the palace deliberately scares me in order to prevent me from coveting the throne!" ”

"I'm very timid!"

"I've been scared since I was a child."

"The old Zhu family is not a hereditary neurosis, but was scared out!"

"My sons don't."

"For I have not sent anyone to frighten you."

"I enjoy the great wealth of the world, but I also enjoy the great horror of the world."

"Growing up, I was afraid to walk alone, to walk at night, to play alone...... Afraid. ”

"Such a me."

"After two political turmoil, I immediately learned to be obedient."

"I only dare to vent my anger on my own woman, and the Hang family has completely blackened because of Zhu Jianji's death, my snub and anger!"

"They were originally secret agents buried in the palace of the vassal king, and after blackening, there is no secret on my body!"

"The emperor's new clothes are what I'm talking about."

"I thought I was dressed beautifully, but I was naked."

"Everyone in the world can see it clearly."

"After the turmoil in Yichu, I became suspicious."

"I was already timid, but external factors kept stimulating me, and I became even more timid."

"If you are timid, you will become extremely sensitive."

"Timidity, cowardice, and sensitivity are vividly reflected in me."

"And I was provoked by others, and I became more and more wary of the orthodox emperor and Yu Qian."

"As a result, Yu Qian also hates me in his heart."

"The most ridiculous thing is that the candidate I used to guard against the orthodox emperor is precisely the person of the orthodox emperor, don't you say ridiculous?"

"Wang Zhi, a man who has changed from a civil official to a nobleman."

"I actually trusted him and went to stare at Nangong."

"You say how naΓ―ve my political thinking is, it was a temptation of the civil officials to the nobles, after the change of the civil fort, the power of the nobles was weakened to the extreme, and the king went straight into the nobles, it was the civil officials who wedged a nail, such a simple political truth, I don't understand."

"I actually used him to look at the Orthodox Emperor."

"Fourth, don't you understand?"

"Wang Zhi was promoted by Zhu Qizhen, the change in Tumubao has something to do with him, it was I who came back to protect him, I thought it was my person, such a person, put it now, do you dare to use him?"

"Wang Zhi is a civil official, a person from Zhu Qizhen."

"I actually used him to look at Zhu Qizhen, is it stupid?"

"So, the change of seizing the door is inevitable."

"Why didn't Yu Qian come to save me for a long time?"

"Because I don't deserve to be saved."

"Rationally speaking, what I, the emperor, did not do as well as the orthodox emperor."

"Really, because I won't be the emperor."

"How can a vassal king who has been raised as a pig be an emperor! I can't even read it! ”

"So, I don't blame him."

"It's because I didn't do well, he didn't save me, it's understandable."

"But when I do well, if he doesn't help me, he should die!"

Zhu Qiyu smiled: "I have squandered it for many years, and I have been on the way to give birth to a son, but I will never have a son." ”

"It's really ridiculous that I actually had a son with a trick!"

"Can you imagine?"

"The beauty that the people sacrificed to me is actually a trick, hahaha, this is the provocation of the civil officials to me, and I don't feel anything wrong at all!"

"I also made her family a high-ranking official."

"I'm so good to her, she's not on my side!"

Zhu Jianyu was stunned, it turned out that his father was eight years ago in Jingtai, and his life was not as good as that of pigs and dogs.

So how did his dad change?

"The incident finally came to Jingtai for eight years."

"At the beginning of Jingtai's eighth year, I fell ill."

"The change of the door is coming!"

"My illness came very strangely, I went to the Gyeonggi Temple to burn incense, and Shi Heng Gongwei went to me, and when I came back, I was seriously ill."

"I'm so sick."

"I knew then that my life was short."

"But I was thinking in my heart at the time, let the Tai Hospital cure my disease, ridiculous, right? Tai Hospital is completely in the hands of Empress Dowager Sun. ”

"Later, I slaughtered the Tai Hospital, guess how many spies I found? How many white dings? The truth about the hospital is really shocking. ”

"My illness is getting worse and worse the more I am cured."

"I wasn't awake at the time, and I naively thought that my illness would soon be cured."

"Huh!"

"Guess how I found out something was wrong?"

"That was before the seizure of the door, and I found that the palace people serving in the Qianqing Palace were sneaky."

"I realized something was wrong."

"I asked the eunuch Wang Cheng to boil a bowl of porridge for me, and let him watch it himself, and after drinking, I actually felt strong."

"Strange, right?"

"There is a problem in the medicine I take, the more I eat, the faster I die!"

"The pace of change is getting closer and closer."
