Daming: The Sims, Lao Zhu’s mentality collapsed

Chapter 66: Meridian Gate Incident, Zhu Xi usurped the throne

[You led the army to the outside of the pass, but unexpectedly discovered the troops of General Nai'er Buhua under the command of King Qi of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. 】

[Nai'er Buhua has tens of thousands of horses under his command, and your two thousand cavalry are not enough to fill the enemy's teeth. Li Jinglong advises you to run away quickly, but you rejected the other party's proposal. 】

[By analyzing Nai'er Buhua's deployment of scouts, you can guess that in the near future, Nai'er Buhua of Beiyuan and Chahan, the son of King Kaiyuan, will start a civil war. 】

[You are hiding here, quietly waiting for the opportunity. 】

[Finally, when your food and grass were about to be exhausted, the civil war broke out in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and tens of thousands of people on both sides of Nai'er Buhua and Chahan were killed. 】

[You took advantage of the civil war in the Northern Yuan Dynasty and led two thousand light cavalry to attack the formation. This Ming army was like a magic weapon descending from the sky. With your long bow and arrows in hand, you bravely captured Nai'er Buhua and Chahan alive. 】

Lao Zhu burst into laughter.

He didn't know until here that the biggest contributor to Lao Wu's battle was actually Li Jinglong!
  If Li Jinglong, a rookie, hadn't gotten lost, Zhu Zhu wouldn't have chased the enemy thousands of miles to the outside world, let alone met Naer Buhua and been forced to show his true strength.

But if it were anyone else, he would have already run away when he met Nai'er Buhua. This kid Lao Wu is really courageous and dares to risk everything under such circumstances.

This battle, in which a small number of people win against a large number, may seem absurd, but in fact it is the result of Zhu Xi's super calculation power. If he had not guessed that Nai Er Fu Hua Hui and Cha Han would be involved in a civil war, the consequences would have been disastrous.

[You became famous in one battle and established prestige in the army and the capital. 】

[But none of this was your original intention. You just wanted to lie down. How could you become a rising star in the Ming Dynasty in such a daze? 】

[To make matters worse, the old man has some trouble and decided that you will be the one to recommend the commander of the Jin Yiwei. Unfortunately, you can only recommend peace that you value. 】

[The main purpose of the old man handing over Jin Yiwei to you is to attack Huaixi, starting with Hu Weiyong. 】

[You used Hu Weiyong to bring out the Korean master Li Shanchang and the sincere uncle Liu Ji behind the scenes, successfully shaking the Huaixi Party's position in the government, and forcing Hu Weiyong to defect to the Zhejiang East Party. 】

[After that, you led the Jin Yiwei to deal with the Huaixi Party and the Zhejiang East Party, frequently making poisonous plans. With your unremitting efforts, the Jin Yiwei finally created the biggest case of the dynasty: the Hu Weiyong case. 】

[Hu Weiyong was accused of "conspiracy to commit treason" and was executed late. Tens of thousands of people were implicated in the case. More than 30 important ministers, including South Korean Duke Li Shanchang and Chengyibo Liu Ji, were implicated in the case. The powerful Huaixi Party and the Zhejiang Province The Eastern Party has since been destroyed. 】

[As the biggest mastermind behind the scenes, you used the Hu Weiyong case to eliminate all your political opponents. You were in the limelight for a while, and you had tens of thousands of eagles and dogs under your command. You unscrupulously installed your own party members among the six ministries and nine ministers. 】

[After Hu Weiyong's death, the emperor appointed you as Prime Minister Zhongshu Zuo, in charge of all government affairs of Zhongshu Province. 】

[This incident was unexpected for you. You thought that the old man would use Hu Weiyong's case to abolish the prime minister system, but what you didn't expect was that the position of prime minister fell on you. 】

[The fourth brother Zhu Di once joked with his eldest brother Zhu Biao: If the eldest brother becomes the emperor in the future, he will be the general of the Peking University, and the fifth brother Zhu Biao will be the prime minister. 】

[But that was a joke, and you didn’t agree at the time. The absurd thing is that Zhu Biao has not yet become the emperor, and Zhu Di has not yet become the general who conquered Peking University. You have become the prime minister first. 】

[But this is exactly what you want. Your preference for the title Prime Minister is second only to that of wife. 】

"Huh? Wait!"

Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his eyes to make sure he saw it correctly.     The more simulated this is, the more wrong it becomes!

Why did Lao Wu seem to have changed a person, suddenly changing from a "virtuous king" to a "treacherous minister"?
  And there is...

What does the last sentence "I like the title Prime Minister second only to wife" mean? Why did Lao Wu suddenly fall in love with wife?
  Is this simulation a little crooked?

[In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, Prince Zhu Biao died of illness. 】

[The last stumbling block in front of you is gone. 】

[All civil and military officials in the dynasty are your lackeys, and they have all come forward to make you the crown prince. But the old man is a little reluctant. Since the Hu Weiyong case, he feels that you are getting darker and darker and are not suitable to be a prince. 】

[Although in Lao Zhu's opinion, it is very reasonable for the emperor to be darker, but you are too dark now. 】

[For the sake of power, you do whatever it takes. You turned Jin Yiwei into your own killing machine. All ministers who disobeyed you were killed by Jin Yiwei without exception. If you want to gain a foothold in the government, you can only become your lackey. 】

[Rather than making you the crown prince, he is more willing to make King Zhu Di of Yan the crown prince. 】

[After understanding that the old man does not want to pass on you, you already have a plan in mind. 】

[Since the old man is not willing to give it, then go and grab it yourself! 】

[In August of the 25th year of Hongwu, you replaced the imperial city guard with your own confidant. That night, you had already mobilized troops from outside the capital to the city. The next day, you go to court with your own eagles and dogs. 】

[Although Zhu Yuanzhang is old, he still maintains the vigilance of a hero. Before you go to court, he has guessed from the details that there may be a big change today, so he quickly asked Wuding Hou Guo Ying, the die-hard Marquis of Wuding in charge of the imperial army, to mobilize the direct troops. , Xuwei Palace. 】

[You lead 30,000 personal soldiers to fight the Imperial Army at the Meridian Gate. After a bloody battle for a day and a night, the Imperial Army suffered all casualties. You led your troops to break through the Meridian Gate and entered the Fengtian Hall unimpeded. This battle was called the "Meridian Gate Incident." 】

[After this battle, you forced Zhu Yuanzhang to make you the crown prince and take charge of military and political power. You put Lao Zhu under house arrest in Qianqing Palace. As for Yan King Zhu Di, although he had no intention of competing with you for the throne, you still put him under house arrest in the capital. 】

[Soon after, you abolished the Zhongshu Province, divided the Metropolitan Governor's Office into the Fifth Army Governor's Office, changed the Yushitai to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and made the Zhongshu Provincial Branch into the Capital Command Department, the Chief Envoy Department, and the Inspection Department. , you concentrated all the power in your own hands and completely ruled the empire. 】

[In October of the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, you forced Zhu Yuanzhang to succeed you in the Fengtian Palace. You changed the name to "Jian'an" the following year and respected Zhu Yuanzhang as the Supreme Emperor. 】

[The reign name Jian'an is not auspicious, and it has only been used once throughout history. The emperor who used this reign name was the last emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Han Xian Emperor Liu Xie. 】

[You insisted on using the reign name Jian'an, and the ministers did not dare to object, so they could only agree. 】

[You used rebellion to become the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty. 】

Lao Zhu was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

"The traitor, this traitor!!!"

What the hell is going on? Where did our fifth son go? Why did he suddenly become a traitor!

Treason, you really deserve to die! ! ! ! !
