In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, no matter what Zhu Youzhen's identity is, it doesn't matter whether what Zhu Youzhen says is good or bad.

The important thing is that Zhu Youzhen said that the Ming Dynasty perished.

This is what Zhu Yuanzhang cares about the most.

Even if Zhu Youzhen said crazy words, it made Zhu Yuanzhang want to hear how Daming perished in Zhu Youzhen's mouth.

It's like listening to someone tell their own story.

Even if it is fictional, Zhu Yuanzhang is very interested.

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Li Xiongzhi looked at him puzzled.

"Big brother."

Before Li Xiongzhi could finish speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted him: "Xiongzhi, don't say it." ”

"I know it in my heart."

After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Youzhen with burning eyes, waiting for his words.

Zhu Youzhen was also stunned when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words.

Then he sat up straight and straightened his messy hair.

Since Grandpa Tai wants to know how the Ming Dynasty perished, then he must know that he is speechless.

Although the Ming Empire perished at his hands, he did not have the face to face Zhu Yuanzhang.

But in the face of Zhu Yuanzhang's words, it is still necessary for him to answer.

Zhu Yuanzhang, as the founder of the Ming Empire, has reason to know how the Ming Dynasty fell.

And he, Zhu Youzhen, as the last emperor of the Ming Empire, is also necessary to make it clear to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Although Da Ming is dead, there is no need to escape.

It is still necessary to prove this fact.

"Grandpa Tai is above, please let Zhu Youzhen, the descendant of the unscrupulous, apologize first."

After speaking, Zhu Youzhen kowtowed a few times to Zhu Yuanzhang.

He couldn't remember how many times he had kowtowed since he saw Zhu Yuanzhang.

But this time, the kowtows were extraordinarily solemn, extraordinarily serious, and extraordinarily formal.

Faced with Zhu Youzhen's behavior, Zhu Yuanzhang was unmoved.

Stand there quietly and accept it calmly.

If Zhu Youzhen is really the fallen king of the Ming Empire, then it is reasonable for him to bear these heads.

What is the problem with the son of a loser kowtowing to his ancestors.

If Zhu Youzhen is just a madman, then he Zhu Yuanzhang can bear these heads.

It is also reasonable for the people to kowtow to the monarch.

Therefore, Zhu Youzhen's kowtow to these heads, Zhu Yuanzhang accepted them calmly.

Li Xiao on the side remained silent.

He didn't feel the need for him to explain.

The real history cannot be contained, and sooner or later it will have to meet the people of the world.

In this case, it is not bad to let Zhu Yuanzhang learn about the real Ming from the mouth of his descendants.

After Zhu Youzhen kowtowed, he knelt up straight.

It seems that he was planning to answer Zhu Yuanzhang's words on his knees.

"The death of the Ming Dynasty is due to Li Zicheng, Wei Zhongxian, and Donglin Party!"

Zhu Youzhen complained with a resentful look in his eyes.

Li Xiao on the side also smiled faintly when he heard this.

Originally, he was still thinking about how to explain Zhu Youzhen's appearance and how to explain Zhu Youzhen's origin.

But now that he heard Zhu Youzhen's words, he planned to put these things aside.

Because he also wanted to know how the Ming Dynasty came to an end.

As a later man, whether in books or on the Internet, he has seen a lot of statements about the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

It's all the same as what Zhu Youzhen said.

Some say that the fall of the dynasty was because Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others rebelled, and some people say that it was because eunuchs like Wei Zhongxian caused chaos in the dynasty.

Some people also say that it was because of the party disputes between different parties in the late Ming Dynasty, and others said that it was because of the natural disasters during the Xiaoice River period in the late Ming Dynasty.

Anyway, there are all kinds of theories, even Zhu Youzhen in front of him is a very important reason, and some people say that the Ming Dynasty fell because Zhu Youzhen was incompetent.

In short, there are different theories about the eventual demise of the Ming Dynasty.

There are so many different versions that even historians can't name one or two.

Later generations can only make some analysis and summary based on historical materials and historical records.

But now, Zhu Youzhen, the fallen king of the Ming Dynasty, is standing in front of him, telling how the Ming Dynasty came to an end.

Regarding this matter, Li Xiao was also interested.

He also wanted to know how the Ming court had decayed and how it had been overthrown.

The demise of a dynasty, what comes out of the mouth of the fallen king of this dynasty, always has a certain degree of credibility.

The most important thing is that Li Xiao still wants to hear what Zhu Youzhen thinks.

I want to hear Zhu Youzhen's opinion on the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

It can be regarded as satisfying Li Xiao's curiosity about this period of history.

What Zhu Youzhen just said about Li Zicheng, Wei Zhongxian, and Donglin Party, Li Xiao has heard a thing or two.

I also have a shallow understanding of these people that Zhu Youzhen said, so I didn't interrupt Zhu Youzhen silently, and quietly listened to him continue.

But Zhu Yuanzhang had never heard of these names, and when he opened his mouth and asked, "Wait." ”

"Didn't you say before that the fall of the Ming Dynasty began with a nine-thousand-nine-hundred-year-old eunuch?"

"Why is there any Wei Zhongxian and Donglin Party now?"

Li Zicheng and Zhu Youzhen said before that they were people who followed Zhu Yuanzhang's old path.

A man who rebelled almost succeeded.

It was also this person who broke through the city of Beijing.

For this person, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Zhu Youzhen would definitely tell it.

Compared with Li Zicheng, Zhu Yuanzhang was more interested in the 9,900-year-old eunuch that Zhu Youzhen said.

He really wanted to hear the story about this eunuch.

Zhu Yuanzhang also really wanted to know how a eunuch reached the peak of the Ming Dynasty, and was also called nine thousand nine hundred years old.

This difficulty is no less than the success of his rebellion.

As for what Zhu Youzhen said about the Donglin Party, Zhu Yuanzhang also guessed a little.

It is estimated that it is just a party above the court.

When Zhu Yuanzhang himself first founded the country, there was also a partisan dispute in the court.

What is the Huaixi Xungui in Fengyang, Anhui, and what is the Zhejiang scholar on Liu Bowen's side.

It is estimated that this Donglin Party also exists in the same way.

Regarding the party struggle above the court, Zhu Yuanzhang has no special ideas.

This is entirely the emperor's own business.

As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there will inevitably be factions, and where there are factions, there will inevitably be fights.

Since there is a strife, it is inevitable that there will be disputes and conflicts of interest.

With disputes and conflicts of interest, it's time for a big fight.

This is the same whether it is a small person in the market or a hundred officials above the court.

Even if it is a royal relative, a royal noble, once there is an entanglement of interests, they will fight hard.

These are unavoidable and impossible to eradicate.

All this can only be mediated by the emperor sitting on the throne.

Regarding the fact that the officials above the court are full of factions and fight against each other, the test is the emperor's means.

It will be up to the emperors of the dynasty to see if they can play with all these officials.

Anyway, no matter how much trouble is made in the court, the imperial power cannot fall, and the world cannot be chaotic.

But now Zhu Youzhen actually said that the Ming Dynasty died in the Donglin faction.

Then it seems that even if this Zhu Youzhen is really the emperor, it is no more than that.

That was also an unqualified emperor.

An emperor who can't control the court.

Zhu Yuanzhang has also seen a lot of party disputes above the court.

He was not interested in these anymore, he was still most interested in the nine-thousand-nine-hundred-year-old eunuch.

Zhu Yuanzhang really wants to hear how this Zhu Youzhen arranged the Ming Dynasty.

actually came out with a big eunuch of 9,900 pairs.

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Zhu Youzhen replied respectfully: "Grandpa, don't be in a hurry. ”

"Let's listen to the descendants tell you slowly."

"Beijing City was attacked by Li Zicheng, and Li Zicheng was a postman of my Ming Dynasty."

"But at the most difficult moment of my Ming court, he demagogized people and instigated the people to rebel."

"In the end, because of his leadership, many rebel forces emerged in the world."

"My Ming court was also tired of responding to the rebellion of the people everywhere, and was finally attacked by Li Zicheng."

"Zhu Youzhen, the descendant of the unscrupulous, also hanged himself from the coal mountain because of this, and the Ming Dynasty collapsed."

After speaking, Zhu Youzhen lowered his head.

There was a sense of reluctance and guilt in his eyes.

Although the collapse of the Ming Dynasty did not happen overnight, it was not something that could be done because of a certain person.

But Li Zicheng was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Zhu Youzhen still put most of his hatred on Li Zicheng, and even blamed Li Zicheng for most of the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, in addition to Li Zicheng, there are many people who are the objects of Zhu Youzhen's hatred.

Even his dead eldest brother, carpenter emperor Zhu Youxiao.

Speaking of which, Zhu Youzhen felt aggrieved.

Zhu Youxiao handed over such a mess to himself, so he had no way at all.

There are 9,000-year-old Wei Zhongxian and Donglin Dang inside, and Li Zicheng and Huang Taiji outside.

Under internal and external troubles, Zhu Youzhen is also powerless.

Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Youzhen's words, and said lightly: "This Li Zicheng, as a pawn of the Ming Dynasty, can rebel, shouldn't you, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, reflect on yourself?" ”

Speaking of which, Zhu Yuanzhang still has a good impression of Li Zicheng.

Although there is some disdain for Li Zicheng rebelling as a pawn of the Ming court, Zhu Yuanzhang still feels a little close to him as a rebel.

He was also born in rebellion, and the rebellion was successful.

This Li Zicheng also rebelled, and he was about to succeed in the rebellion.

Zhu Yuanzhang knows very well that if he can't survive, who wants to rebel.

This Li Zicheng will definitely not be able to live.

As a post guard of the Ming court, he couldn't survive, which shows the mediocrity of the court at that time.

Anyway, in Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, as long as someone rebels, it must be the reason for the imperial court.

If the imperial court allows everyone in the world to be well fed and warmly dressed, then who wants to rebel with nothing to do and pin their brains to their belts.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who has rushed all the way from the road of rebellion, knows the mental process of rebellion better than anyone else.

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Zhu Youzhen lowered his head with some guilt.

"Grandpa Tai is right, it's really all my fault."

"For the fall of the Ming Dynasty, I have an unshirkable responsibility."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang replied coldly: "Don't talk so much. ”

"Let's talk about your Ming Dynasty."

"It is impossible for a post guard to overthrow the Ming court, there must be other reasons."

Zhu Yuanzhang knew in his heart that unless the Ming Dynasty was rotten to the roots, the Ming Dynasty would not be overthrown so easily.

It is impossible for a small post pawn Li Zicheng to succeed in a rebellion.

And for this rotten Ming court, Zhu Yuanzhang is still full of curiosity.

He really wanted to know what the Ming Dynasty would rot into in Zhu Youzhen's mouth.

Who will appear and bring down the Ming court.

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Zhu Youzhen nodded.

"The fall of the Ming Dynasty is a long story, please be patient."

"Listen to the descendants of the unscrupulous descendants."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, as if he was ready to listen for a long time.

Not only Zhu Yuanzhang, but even Li Xiao, Zhu Ningyun, Li Xiongzhi and others also pricked up their ears and prepared to listen carefully.

Tian Zhiwei even sat upright on the chair and put himself in a comfortable position.

It looked like he was preparing to hear a story.

If it weren't for Zhu Youzhen's story about the fall of the Ming Dynasty, I'm afraid Tian Zhiwei would have taken out the melon seeds and gnawed them.

Anyway, at this moment, there are so many people here, except for Zhu Yuanzhang.

Other people came to listen to Zhu You's account with the mentality of eating melons.

Originally, Li Xiongzhi and Tian Zhiwei did not believe what Zhu Youzhen said, and they were noncommittal to Zhu Youzhen's various remarks.

They are not like Zhu Yuanzhang, who has this kind of attachment and demons for the Ming court.

In their eyes, the Ming Dynasty must still exist, and it exists well.

Even if the Ming Dynasty really fell, there would be no grief for them.

After all, they are not members of the Zhu family's royal family, and the Ming court outside has little to do with them.

In the final analysis, they care about the survival of the Ming Dynasty because of Li Xiao.

Because Li Xiao is their eldest brother and the person they admire the most.

And Li Xiao is the concubine of the Ming court, and his father-in-law Zhu Di is the emperor of the Ming court outside at the moment.

If it weren't for Li Xiao's relationship, the Ming outside would not have bothered to care.

Li Xiao is actually the same.

If it weren't for Zhu Ningyun's relationship, the survival of the Ming Dynasty really didn't matter to him.

Now he is just standing from the perspective of a bystander, wanting to hear about that history from Zhu Youzhen's mouth.

For the history of the demise of the Ming Dynasty, what comes out of the mouths of people who have experienced it is definitely different from what is recorded in the history books and historical materials.

And this person is also the fallen king of the Ming court.

From his mouth you will surely be able to know the most authentic history.

Now here, apart from Li Xiao, I am afraid that only Zhu Yuanzhang is most interested in Zhu Youzhen's words.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang was the founding emperor of the Ming Empire.

At this moment, Zhu Youzhen's voice rang out.

"I'll never forget that day."

"The seventeenth year of Chongzhen, March 19."

"The day I hanged myself in the coal mountain!"
