Daming: Spoilers about the future, Zhu Yuanzhang collapsed

Chapter 197 Zhu Yuanzhang’s blood pressure is so high! !

The power of one person can overwhelm all the martial arts. What a courage!

From what Han Cheng had said before, even Zhu Gaochi, known as Renzong, and Emperor Xuande Zhu Zhanji could not do this.

As a result, after them, another powerful emperor came out of his own Ming Dynasty, who could defeat many martial arts?
Zhu Yuanzhang was really excited.

Although judging from what Han Cheng revealed, the results of this guy's strength were not good.

This made the great Ming Dynasty unable to recover.

But there is still something worthy of praise for the Ming Dynasty to have such a powerful emperor after several generations.

He couldn't wait to hear Han Cheng tell the legendary story of Mingbao Sect.

It was not just Zhu Yuanzhang who was a little excited and expectant. Zhu Biao was also a little surprised and excited after hearing Han Cheng's words.

He also did not expect that such a person would appear in the Ming Dynasty later.

But then, Zhu Biao's brows frowned slightly.

I always feel that this so-called Mingbao Sect's castle sounds a bit strange.

It is said that temple names have traces to follow. As the saying goes, "the ancestors have merit, and the clan has virtues."

In the beginning, temple names were an extremely strict matter. Generally, only emperors who had made some outstanding achievements during their reign could have temple names.

Later, with the beginning of the chaotic period of the Northern and Southern Jin Dynasties, temple names also proliferated, and they were far less strict than before.

But even so, there are still rules.

For example, the first emperor of a unified dynasty is usually Taizu, and then a powerful second-generation emperor appears, namely Taizong.

Then there are many temple names such as 'Wen', 'Wu', 'Ren', Xuan, 'Ying', 'Xian', 'Shen', 'Ning', 'Xuan' and so on.

And behind each temple name, there is a different meaning.

For example, 'Zhongzong' and 'Xianzong' are the masters of ZTE.

Sejong, Gaozong and others were wise monarchs.

'Renzong' and 'Xuanzong' were Mingjun and wise masters.

"Shen Zong" and "Ying Zong" have insufficient achievements.

'Guangzong' and 'Xizong' were mediocre and decadent.

As for "Ai Zong" and "Sizong", they correspond to the king who lost his country.

All of these are important.

Zhu Biao is very knowledgeable and has done research on these.

But it was precisely because of research that I became confused after hearing the name Mingbao Sect from Han Cheng.

I really can’t figure out where this Mingbao Sect comes from, what basis it has, and what its meaning is.

Mingbao Sect, Mingbao Sect...how come there is such a strange temple name?

"Biao'er, what's wrong?"

Zhu Yuanzhang noticed Zhu Biao's difference and asked Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao said: "Father, I think the temple name of the Mingbao Sect is a bit strange and confusing.

After thinking about it carefully, I couldn't remember anyone using the temple name Baozong.

There is no word "fort" in any of the temple names. "

Is that so?
Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback.

Then there was another joy.

As expected of him, his knowledge is profound.

Even the temple name is unreasonable, you can see it at a glance!
Not only Zhu Yuanzhang, but also Han Cheng was somewhat impressed by Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao, this uncle, is just extraordinary.

In matters such as reading and doing knowledge, Lao Zhu is not comparable.

Of course, it's not something he can compare to.

"Han Cheng, what's going on?"

If you don't understand, just ask Han Cheng. Zhu Yuanzhang is too lazy to think too much.

"Father-in-law, eldest brother, some things seem unbelievable at first.

However, if you understand the cause and effect clearly, then you will often feel that it is very reasonable.

Just like the Mingbao Sect.

Next, I will tell you about it, and you two will understand why he is called the Mingbao Sect.

He can also understand how the noble Ming Dynasty was brought to the verge of death by his own strength and was unable to recover. "

At this point, Han Cheng paused and added: "By the way, this Mingbao Sect has other skills, such as being proficient in foreign languages.

He was also the only emperor in the Ming Dynasty who studied abroad.

After succeeding Emperor Yongle, he was another Ming emperor who went deep into Mobei. "

As Han Cheng added additional explanations, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao's thoughts began to wander again.

They all felt that Mingbao Zong was not a simple man, but a very capable emperor.

Mastering and proficient in a foreign language shows that the person's learning ability is quite good.

As for going deep into Mobei, that would be even more incredible!
The fourth child, Zhu Di, went on a personal expedition and swept through the remnants of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. Yan Ran succeeded and achieved great results!

As a result, now, there is another ruthless emperor who takes the role of emperor and once again personally conquers Meng Yuan.

And also went deep into Mobei.

This...just thinking about it makes people feel infinitely excited.

Although his achievements may not be as good as those of the fourth child, but just hearing about his ability to penetrate deep into Mobei, you can know that this person is not simple.

This shows that his record is quite remarkable, otherwise he would not have gone deep into Mobei.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were completely intrigued by the Mingbao Sect.

I feel that even though this Mingbao Sect has a lot of shortcomings, there must be a lot of remarkable things about him!

"Of course, besides these, he also has other titles, such as the Son of Heaven and the Son of Heaven."

Han Cheng's voice continued to sound, telling Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao some nicknames of Mingbao Sect here.

Called the Son of Heaven?

Kicking the emperor down?

What kind of weird name is this?

Why do people in later generations like to use fancy names like this when they have nothing to do?

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were both a little confused.

But then, Zhu Yuanzhang had some bad premonitions in his heart.

I always feel that this is called the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven who kicks the door is not a good title.

Especially after Wu Xun was knocked down by the Mingbao Sect, Zhu Yuanzhang became a little uneasy.

"Han Cheng, this is called the Son of Heaven, and what does it mean to be called the Son of Heaven?"

Zhu Biao looked at Han Cheng and asked the doubts he and his father shared.

Han Cheng said: "Well...I'll start from the beginning, don't be anxious.

As I tell you, you two will soon understand what is going on. "

What happened to Zhu Qizhen, the Ming God of War, was too exciting and too unacceptable.

So Han Cheng thought it would be better to lay the groundwork first.

In case Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao suddenly heard that they couldn't bear it.

Clearing his throat, Han Cheng began to lay the groundwork: "The name of the Mingbao clan is Zhu Qizhen, and he is the eldest son of Emperor Xuande.

In the first month of the tenth year of Xuande, Xuande Emperor Zhu Zhanji died of illness in Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Qizhen, who was nine years old at the time, succeeded to the throne and changed his reign name to Zhengtong the following year. "

In Shouning Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed as soon as Han Cheng's preparatory words came out.

"How many years did Xuande die?!!"

He looked at Han Cheng and asked, with some disbelief, and his voice was raised a lot.

Where is the foreshadowing of Han Cheng's words?

This is obviously a heavy blow to Zhu Yuanzhang directly!
After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's inquiry and seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's state at this time, Han Cheng realized the problem.

I just thought that Zhu Yuanzhang would be so stimulated after hearing the glorious results achieved by Zhu Qizhen, the Ming God of War, that he couldn't stand it anymore.

I want to do some foreshadowing to ease things up.

But they ignored the fact that Zhu Zhanji would be gone after ten years in office.

This is undoubtedly a great stimulus for Zhu Yuanzhang, who lives a long life.

"That...he didn't have it in the first month of the tenth year of Xuande."

Han Cheng hesitated for a moment, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and repeated it again.

"But Your Majesty, you have to be more open-minded. After all, he has been in power for ten years and is already much stronger than his father who has been in power for ten months..."

Han Cheng tried to comfort Zhu Yuanzhang.

But in this case, it would be better not to say Han Cheng's comforting words.

After listening to his comfort, Zhu Yuanzhang became even more uncomfortable.

What kind of crime has this been done?

Zhu Gaochi, the fat grandson, has not been in power for ten months, and his great-grandson Zhu Zhanji has not been in power for ten years. The two of them have not been in power for 11 years in total!

He himself has been in office for 31 years.

Is this to say that the time he spent as emperor alone was almost three times the time the two of them spent as emperor combined? ?
This is not the most critical thing. The most important thing is that, according to Han Cheng, when these two people were in office, although many things they did did not meet his wishes, they were generally pretty good, not too bad.

Moreover, the time when the two were in power was called the 'Ren and Xuan's rule'.

I thought that the rule of Renxuan would last for a long time, but how could I have imagined that it would only last for less than 11 years? ! !

Was the reign of Renxuan in the Ming Dynasty so short?
Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless for a moment.

While being stimulated, I also felt that these descendants were really not good enough.

Wen Zhi and martial arts are not comparable, let alone talking about them. Can't you even live longer than your ancestors?
After becoming emperor, each one's life became shorter than the last!

Zhu Zhanji said he had been on the throne for ten years, but in fact, even his father, who was always in poor health, had never survived.

He will almost live ten years less than his father!

Not only can't he survive, he can't even give birth to a son, his ancestor!
What a shame! !

Not only Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised and uncomfortable, but even Zhu Biao, who was standing next to him, felt strange after hearing what Han Cheng said.

I feel that the lives of Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Gaochi are too short.

Why is it that after becoming emperor, each one takes less time than the other?

However, it became even more uncomfortable when I remembered that in history, I had never outlived my father, and the emperor died without doing anything for even one day.

It seems... I am not qualified to talk about the two of them.

It was quiet in the side hall of Shouning Palace.

As soon as Han Cheng opened his mouth, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao and his son were silenced.

"Zhu Zhanji was already 36 when he died. Why was his son only nine years old? Or was he his eldest son?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was indeed Zhu Yuanzhang. His thoughts were raging for a while. After taking a few deep breaths, he quickly calmed down.

Looking at Han Cheng asking questions.

It is said that Zhu Zhanji was the grandson of the Ming Dynasty Emperor, and later he became the prince and the emperor.

Even if most people in the world couldn't marry a woman, there was no way he couldn't marry one here.

Given his status, it is impossible to lack women no matter what.

"This is because his first wife, Queen Hu, had no children, and Zhu Zhanji's eldest son was the later imperial concubine, who was born to Sun.

Sun was regarded as Zhu Zhanji's child bride. Very early on, she was recommended by the mother-in-law of Empress Zhu Gaochi, Emperor Renzong, and was taken into the palace to live with Zhu Zhanji.

The two of them can be said to be childhood sweethearts. "

"If that's the case, then why is this Sun not the queen?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with some doubts.

Han Cheng said: "This is because Zhu Zhanji's first wife was chosen by Emperor Yongle.

When the crown prince was chosen as his concubine, many people felt that it must be the Sun family.

But the result exceeded many people's expectations, including Zhu Zhanji and Sun.

Emperor Yongle did not choose the Sun family, but chose the Hu family for Zhu Zhanji. "

Hearing what Han Cheng said, Zhu Yuanzhang understood: "But this Sun family member can't do it?"

Han Cheng nodded: "Emperor Yongle thinks that Mrs. Sun can be a concubine because she is good-looking and a little clever.

But being the wife of the emperor's grandson was not possible.

The wife of the emperor's grandson will become the queen in the future, and Sun is the queen. She cannot sit in this position! "

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

After a moment of silence, he looked at Han Cheng and said, "Then later, will this Sun become the queen?"

Han Cheng gave Zhu Yuanzhang a thumbs up: "Father-in-law, Sheng Ming, you can tell at a glance.

This Sun family did become the queen later. "

Zhu Yuanzhang did not show any joy at Han Cheng's praise.

After all, it's a simple question.

As the queen, the Hu family had no children, and the Sun family gave birth to Zhu Zhanji's eldest son. Coupled with the relationship between the two of them, it would be easy for the Hu family to be deposed as the queen and the Sun family to replace the Hu family as the queen. come up with.

And this situation is undoubtedly harmful to Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Zhanji died early, and a nine-year-old child ascended the throne. This was the first child emperor of the Zhu family.

It is never a good thing to have young children and strong mothers, especially for a dynasty.

It is easy for the harem to interfere with politics and cause chaos.

There are not many such things in history.

There are too many examples that illustrate the disadvantages of harem interference in politics.Even if he set up an iron monument and made it clear that he was not allowed to interfere in politics after leaving the harem, I am afraid that under such circumstances, this matter would be unavoidable.

In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang would have confidently thought that future generations would definitely abide by the ancestral precepts he left behind.

But now, after Han Cheng's many revelations, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer has this confidence.

As soon as he died, his good grandson Zhu Yunwen changed all the things he had left behind, making him look like he was going to die in the second generation.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Yuanzhang really did not dare to hope that future generations would still abide by his ancestral precepts decades after his death.

"So, it's the Sun family who started to disrupt the government?"

Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath and looked at Han Cheng to ask.

Although he had told Queen Ma before that he had already calmed down and would not be upset by many things in the future.

But how could he not be upset after hearing all these bad things about future generations?
Not worried about it?
After all, this is the Ming Dynasty he built with his own hands!

They are his descendants.

Even if it is several generations apart, it cannot change this.

"not at all."

not at all?
Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback when he heard the words.

Then he reacted: "Is this when Zhu Zhanji was about to die, and he ordered Empress Sun to be taken away?"

It seems that this is really the only possibility.

Zhu Yuanzhang believed that the fourth child Zhu Di must have good vision after many years of experience.

Since he looks down on the Sun family and thinks that the Sun family is not good enough to be a queen, then this person is basically really not good enough.

But now, the Sun family has become the queen. With her young children and mother strong, there is no harm to the country.

That could only be that Zhu Zhanji took Sun away when he was dying.

This kind of thing has not happened in history.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang's view of Zhu Zhanji, his great-grandson, changed a lot.

I think Zhu Zhanji is pretty good.

At least he is very qualified in matters such as arranging heirs, and has paved the way as much as possible.

At the same time, he also had many special feelings for Zhu Qizhen, the Mingbao Sect.

Zhu Qizhen, the Mingbao sect, lost his father when he was young. Under such circumstances, he still single-handedly brought down the powerful Wu Xun to the point of death. It was really not easy.

The ability is really strong!
But what Han Cheng said next deeply surprised Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Zhu Zhanji did not take Mr. Sun away."

Not taken away?

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was lamenting Zhu Zhanji's wisdom and feeling that Zhu Qizhen was not easy, was stunned.

What's the situation?
"Could it be that... the fourth child made a mistake at first?"

Zhu Yuanzhang spoke hesitantly.

For now, this seems to be the only explanation.

Han Cheng said: "That's not the case. Emperor Yongle did not make a mistake at the beginning."

The fourth child didn't make a mistake?

Zhu Yuanzhang was completely confused.

What the hell is going on here?

Why is it such a mess?

"Zhu Zhanji had another choice at that time, and that choice was his mother, Queen Zhang.

Zhu Zhanji saw that Sun was not suitable to hold power.

But under the circumstances at that time, the nine-year-old Zhu Qizhen was unable to take charge at all, so he entrusted the matter to his mother, Queen Zhang.

Let Queen Zhang manage the government affairs and assist Zhu Qizhen in managing the country.

When Zhu Zhanji first came to the throne, Empress Zhang assisted Zhu Zhanji in doing some things. She was very organized and measured. She was the third empress of the Ming Dynasty.

Empress Zhang accepted Zhu Zhanji's arrangement, and after Zhu Zhanji's death, she assisted in managing the government affairs and handled matters in an orderly manner.

San Yang, British Duke Zhang Fu and others were appointed.

Under her management, the government was clean and clear, and there were not many troubles.

At that time, Empress Zhang was already the Empress Dowager and had great power, but she did not promote her family members as much as others did.

On the contrary, they are extremely cautious about the promotion of the Zhang family.

Do not allow your natal family to participate in government affairs.

Try hard to prevent the Zhang family from becoming a powerful relative..."

Speaking of this, Han Cheng felt a little emotional.

The Ming Dynasty was so lucky that it produced three generations of empresses in a row.

Whether it is Queen Ma, Queen Xu, or Zhu Gaochi's Queen Zhang, these three are all very good in terms of ability and moral character.

It's a pity that when it was Queen Sun's turn next, she pulled...

Of course, if we look at the image of Queen Sun in the glory of the Ming Dynasty, this is indeed another virtuous queen.

It's a pity that those are all Queen Sun who have been artistically processed and beautified.

Too many things that were not done by her and showed courage and determination were placed on her head.

After hearing Han Cheng's words, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao's doubts were solved.

This is indeed a stopgap measure.

While untying it, they all admired what Han Cheng said about Queen Zhang, and even felt a little grateful.

After all, in history, not many people began to vigorously promote their natal family members after taking power.

For example, Lu Pheasant, such as Wu Zetian...

It is really not easy for Empress Zhang to become the Empress Dowager, take charge of the power, and be able to do those things!
While feeling happy, Zhu Yuanzhang was also a little worried.

She was afraid that Queen Zhang would not be able to survive until Zhu Qizhen reached adulthood.

After all, she is the Empress Dowager, not the Queen Mother, and there is a generation gap between her and Zhu Qizhen.

The age difference is huge.

He immediately looked at Han Cheng and asked about his worries.

"Your Majesty, your concerns are correct. Queen Zhang passed away in the eighth year of Zhengtong.

Sanyang also passed away successively in the past few years.

At this time, Zhu Qizhen was not considered an adult.

The power of the Empress Dowager Sun is not small.

With the death of Empress Dowager Zhang and others, a very famous person gradually emerged.

This person is the eunuch Wang Zhen.

This man was deeply trusted by Zhu Qizhen.

When Empress Dowager Zhang was around, she would scold Wang Zhen when nothing happened. Therefore, when she was around, Wang Zhen always kept his tail between his legs.

But when it was Sun's turn to take power, that was no longer the case.

Wang Zhen was very good at getting things done, at least he was very good at pleasing the emperor and the empress dowager.

So Queen Mother Sun just sat back and watched Wang Zhen become bigger..."

After listening to Han Cheng's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's chest heaved a little.

Many policies actually have continuity, such as the concubine burial system that emerged in the Yuan Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang had considered continuing it before.

Now after listening to what Han Cheng said about Empress Sun, Zhu Yuanzhang was once again considering whether to continue it.

Zhu Zhanji's view has changed again.

I think Zhu Zhanji is still not successful.

Now that we have seen that Sun is not good, we should be ruthless and take him away instead of leaving him behind to harm the Ming Dynasty!
Of course, there was another reason for the rise and fall of his chest.

"We have ordered that the eunuchs and maids are not allowed to read and write. Wang Zhen is not very good at it, so how can he let such a guy with no balls start to grow up?
Are Zhu Qizhen and the Sun family stupid donkeys?

We set up an iron monument and strictly stipulated that the harem should not interfere with politics. She and the Zhang family were under special circumstances and were only a last resort expedient.

But what's the point of allowing eunuchs to become powerful? ! "

Zhu Yuanzhang was already depressed and his teeth were itching.

Han Cheng glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, then at Zhu Biao and said: "Well... by this time, the eunuch can already read and write."

As soon as Han Cheng said these words, Zhu Yuanzhang was very angry.

“Which of our unscrupulous descendants did this?!!”

"It was Zhu Zhanji. In order to check and balance the foreign dynasties, he had people set up schools for eunuchs and teach them how to read and write..."

"His mother..." After cursing, Zhu Yuanzhang realized that Zhu Zhanji's mother was his granddaughter-in-law, and she was a very good granddaughter-in-law.

So I held back forcefully.

"This little thing is the Ming Dynasty's hexagonal God of War? He fights like a god!"

Is this so exciting?

If you listened to the real Ming God of War's instructions, would you still be forced to lie on the ground?
"As for the iron monument erected by your Majesty...it's okay not to mention it."

"Why don't you just say it?"

It was okay that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't listen to Han Cheng's words, but when he heard Han Cheng's words, he suddenly couldn't bear it.

Then react.

"Did the Fourth Brother leave our iron monument here in Nanjing after he moved the capital?"

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that this should be the case.

In the end, Han Cheng shook his head: "That's not the case. When Emperor Yongle moved the capital, he specially brought the iron monument to Peiping and erected it again."

Hearing what Han Cheng said, Zhu Yuanzhang felt much better, and his desire to slap Zhu Di also dropped.

Fortunately, this guy has some conscience and has not forgotten our iron monument.

But doubts soon arose again.

Since his iron monument was not left here to eat ashes by the fourth child, why would Han Cheng say that?
Are these people ignoring their own iron tablets and taking the injunction on the iron tablets that the harem should not be involved in politics to be farts?

"Um...Your Majesty, why don't you stop asking. Asking too many questions will cause anger and harm your health."

Han Cheng hesitated, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said.

It was okay that Han Cheng didn't say this. As soon as he said this, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to know about it even more.

He wanted to see how these descendants committed evil!
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang insisted on listening, Han Chengcheng stopped refusing and began to tell Zhu Yuanzhang about the iron monument.

“The iron monument you erected... was smashed by the eunuch.

The eunuch who smashed the iron monument was Wang Zhen. "

What the hell? ! !
After Han Cheng said one sentence, Zhu Yuanzhang's blood pressure immediately went up!

He was the dignified founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the iron tablet he erected that clearly stated that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics was actually smashed?

Moreover, the person who smashed the iron monument was still a damn eunuch? ! !
Zhu Yuanzhang became irritable instantly and felt that he had been greatly insulted!
This kind of insult is unprecedented!
It felt like the eunuch was riding on his head to shit, the coffin board was lifted, and he was jumping hard against me.

shame! !
What a shame! !

"Fucking legs!!!"

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted to shave the eunuch alive! !

For Zhu Yuanzhang, this was simply more insulting than being slapped in public!

Excessive!

It's really too much!
Not to mention Zhu Yuanzhang, even Zhu Biao next to him was shocked and felt extremely angry.

This eunuch is really too arrogant and domineering! !

"What's Sun's reaction? What's Zhu Qizhen's reaction?"

After taking several deep breaths, Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Han Cheng with blood-red eyes and asked.

Han Cheng knew what Zhu Yuanzhang was expecting.

But unfortunately, what Zhu Yuanzhang expected did not happen at all.

"Well...the two of them didn't react at all.

After Wang Zhen did these things, he was not punished at all.

In the future, the power will continue to expand..."

"boom!"

Zhu Yuanzhang punched the table angrily.

He was really angry and disappointed at this moment!

As the founding emperor of the country, the iron monument he had erected was smashed by eunuchs, and these people didn't react?
It's okay if Sun didn't react at all, why didn't Zhu Qizhen react at all?

Even if Wang Zhen was not punished, why did he let the eunuch get more and more powerful later? !
Are these still his descendants?

Zhu Yuanzhang was really angry and depressed.

How could I have such unworthy descendants?

Zhu Yuanzhang now wanted to whip Zhu Di again.

Look at this guy, what's wrong with him? !

"Han Cheng, this Mingbao Sect Zhu Qizhen should have another name, right?"

After becoming angry, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly looked at Han Cheng and asked such a question.

Seeing this, Han Cheng quickly assessed Zhu Yuanzhang's condition, nodded hesitantly and said, "Yes, this title is the Ming God of War."

Ming God of War?

Why is it the Ming God of War again? ! !

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes shrank...
