Chapter 1 Such a Ming Dynasty

Next Chapter

In April of the ninth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty (1636), the sun was setting, and in the ancient city of Beijing, the flow of people on the major streets was bleak, and there was a feeling of twilight.

Although it is the most beautiful April day in the world, for some reason, the weather in the north of the Ming Dynasty is getting colder and colder, even if it is now April, it is also a cold wind gusting and cutting people's faces.

Occasionally, a cold wind blew, making the pedestrians walking on the streets of Beijing tighten their necklines with their heads bowed, and made their originally listless heads a little clearer.

The last rays of the setting sun slanted on the golden glazed tiles of the Forbidden City, although it was dimmed, it could not hide the unique royal grandeur that emanated from there.

In Zhongcui Palace, a young man sits on a golden glazed tile, holding a monocular in his hand, squinting his eyes, observing the golden and brilliant Forbidden City in front of him.

The ornate palace is set against the backdrop of the setting sun, with occasional flashes of glow, but it looks desolate and solemn.

"Master, come down......"

Under the main hall, there were several little eunuchs wearing official boots and black gauze hats, and they were anxiously asking the young man sitting on the glazed tiles to come down.

The boy put down his binoculars and ignored them, just quietly looking into the distance, thinking about his future plans.

His name is Zhu Cihong, and he is the crown prince of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, and he has traveled to the Ming Dynasty for seven years.

In February of the second year of Chongzhen, the soul was attached to the newborn Zhu Cihong, because he was the eldest son of the queen, so he was canonized as the crown prince in the second year of his birth.

Zhu Cihong was still very excited about coming to the Ming Dynasty and becoming the heir to the throne at first, because in his heart, most of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were not tired.

His mind was like a movie, thinking of the sixteen 'unique' emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, who let go of the cow and was a monk, was a three-no-one person with no money, no relationship, and no good looks, and finally became the emperor with a vote of brothers who overthrew the tyrannical yuan.

However, in the later stage, due to the high pressure of work, anxiety symptoms appeared, and he could only relieve the pressure by killing corrupt officials, killing a large number of pieces.

It is said that during his reign, he punished tens of thousands of corrupt officials, and killed a few teammates who assisted him.

Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen, a naïve emperor of the third generation, his father died early, directly inherited his grandfather's family property, and blindly tossed and played with innovation and cutting the domain, but was cut by the fourth uncle Zhu Di.

Yongle Emperor Zhu Di is said to have a good figure, good looks, and is very capable! It's the kind that does a great job........

Since he cut his nephew as the emperor, he has not given himself a day off for more than 20 years, often working overtime until the early hours of the morning, getting up to work before dawn, eating working meals with the ministers after work, discussing company planning, and the emperor has lived up to the people, and finally has done a lot of achievements.

Emperor Hongxi Zhu Gaochi, a food expert and a peerless foodie, ended up suffering from obesity and died of obesity, and reigned for ten months.

Zhu Zhanji, the emperor of Xuande, likes to fight crickets, and is known as the cricket emperor, but the emperor is good and can be benevolent.

The orthodox emperor Zhu Qizhen, who became an emperor when he was a child, has been enthusiastic for many years, and when he was in his twenties, he wanted to be in the limelight and drove in person, but the result was very embarrassing, he was captured by Wara!

Do you think he's finished? Not really! This emperor also has an identity, that is, a social expert!

His popularity is superb, not only making the caretaker of the enemy country his loyal little fan, but also forming a deep friendship with the younger brother of the leader of the enemy country, and the two often drink and talk about life ideals until late at night.

In the second year of capture, the leader of the tile spur released the emperor, and the leader's younger brother reluctantly said goodbye to the emperor.

Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu, the king of the leak, his brother was tied to the meat ticket, and he became the emperor.

After the social expert returned to China, the king of the leak not only did not return the throne to him, but also made the social expert quiet, and even cut down the big tree where his brother enjoyed the shade.

As a result, within a few years, the government was ruined, and the social experts turned the tables, and in the end, even the imperial tomb of the clan was not eligible to enter.

Chenghua Emperor Zhu Jianshen, enthusiastic about sister and brother love, lacked maternal love since childhood, so that he devoted himself to the palace maid sister, and canonized the palace maid who was nineteen years older than him as a concubine, and because she abolished the queen.

Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhang, a model husband, has only one wife, lives the same husband and wife life as ordinary people, is the only emperor in history who practices monogamy, and is also a workaholic, but unfortunately tired to death.

Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao, his father is a model husband, he is an only child, and he sat on the throne without pressure.

Young and hot-blooded, he once hacked several enemies to death with two watermelon knives in a royal expedition.

He also likes to raise animals, and has established a zoo leopard house and is the director himself.

Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi, the smartest emperor of the Ming Dynasty, killed the eunuchs at a young age and toyed with the civil official group to applause.

may have realized that invincible is lonely, and since then Zhu Houxi has been enthusiastic about asking immortals and asking, dare to ask the heavens, is there an immortal?

Emperor Zhu Zaiyuan of Longqing, male in gender, lover of women, did his best for women all his life, and died after his death, and even many daily necessities were painted with some patterns that were not suitable for children.

Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun, who was intimidated by Lao Zhang since he was a child, left a shadow in his heart, and after Lao Zhang's death, he let go of himself and stopped working for 30 years and did not go to court.

Zhu Changluo, the emperor of Taichang, died less than a month after ascending the throne, first took tonics, and finally took a small red pill and died.

Emperor Zhu Youxiao, the emperor of the Apocalypse, has rich artistic cells, likes to do carpentry the most, and has deep attainments, has designed folding beds, invented fountains, and is second only to Lu Ban in history, and is an artist who has been delayed by the throne.

The last one, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen, is now Zhu Cihong's cheap Laozi.

However, Zhu Cihong later thought about it carefully, wasn't Chongzhen the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty? There seems to be nothing wrong with him Zhu Cihong in the back?

Thinking of this, Zhu Cihong was a little unhappy, as he dug deep into his memory, and heard some familiar historical names, Zhu Cihong recalled more things in the late Ming Dynasty.

In this period at the end of the Ming Dynasty, especially after Emperor Chongzhen hung the southeast branch, the Central Plains traitors came out in large numbers, and all of them were amazingly destructive.

When a country is in crisis, it is the most important test of a person's integrity, and even the integrity of a nation.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, although there were many traitors, there were more loyal ministers and martyrs who were martyred.

After several Manchu Qing Dynasty entry into the customs and southern expeditions, there were about 4,000 martyred officials at the end of the Ming Dynasty, ranking first in all dynasties.

Daming, there has never been a shortage of iron-clad people! It's just that after the cultural castration of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, many heroic deeds have long been covered up, but many of them are still well documented.

When history infinitely magnifies the name of the traitor, overshadows the halo of heroes, and tries to cover up the truth, this is the most terrible.
