Chapter 549: There are no negative scores...

[In the coldest month of the year, Yu Qian collapsed in Beijing, which he had protected with all his might.]

【Heaven and earth mourn together, the sun and the moon weep together.】

[At that time, his son Yu Mian, adopted son Yu Kang and son-in-law Zhu Ji were all exiled to the border and were unable to collect his body.]

[The ministers in the court were afraid of Zhu Qizhen and did not dare to take any action.]

[Chen Kui, the deputy governor, was extremely saddened by Qian's unjust death and did the most daring thing in his life.]

[He covered Yu Qian's body with straw mats, buried it secretly in the western suburbs of Beijing, and arranged for someone to protect it.]

[In 1459 AD, Yu Kang returned to Beijing from exile.]

【I met Chen Kui through an introduction. 】

[Chen Kui's salary was limited, but he still bought a new coffin and gave money for travel.]

[Yu Kang then transported Yu Qian's coffin back to his hometown and buried it in Santaishan on the shore of West Lake.]

……

{Few people go to Yu Qian Temple. Compared with Yue Fei Temple, it is not completely empty, but there are very few people there.}
{Why is Yu Qian not as famous as Yue Fei and Wen Tianxiang? Why is the Tumu Incident not as shameful as the Jingkang Incident?}
{Why can someone still clean up the name of the Emperor who is inferior to Emperor Qinzong, Emperor Huizong and Wanyan Gou when so many people curse him?}

{Because Yu Qian defended it.}
……

Period of Jihan and Emperor Huai

"Father, do you think Zhu Qizhen hesitated when he killed Yu Qian?"

Liu Chan felt that a person should not repay kindness with enmity to this extent.

The emperors of the Western Han Dynasty were never so mean and ungrateful!

"Maybe he thought about not killing Yu Qian?"

Zhuge Liang always saw Liu Chan's good qualities.

He is kind, filial and generous.

Very much like the late emperor.

There is only one thing that is different.

So naive that I have no opinion of my own.

"Your Majesty, killing without killing, killing without killing, what is this argument trying to prove?"

"The great killer kills those who should not be killed."

"They are no different from those murderers who take human life lightly and do not care about right or wrong."

Liu Chan was stunned.

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly.

"Even if the killing of Yu Qian was suggested by Xu Youzhen and others, it was approved by Zhu Qizhen."

"Without Zhu Qizhen's consent, what use would Xu Youzhen and others' dissenting opinions have?"

……

Datang.

Li Shimin felt that Wei Zheng should come over and kowtow to him.

"I won't kill you even if you point your finger at me and scold me every day."

"The one in the sky directly killed the hero."

Li Chengqian was still in shock.

"Yu Qian... just died like that?"

"Does Zhu Qizhen know what he is doing?"

Li Shimin was very relieved when he saw his son whose eyes turned red with anger.

Empress Changsun handed the handkerchief to Li Chengqian and said softly:
"Of course he does."

"To seize is not to obey."

"Since the reason for the seizure of the palace is that the ministers were planning to establish a vassal king while the emperor was critically ill."

"Then Yu Qian and Wang Wen, who were accused of lust, must die."

Li Shimin nodded.

"Yes, Gao Ming, your mother is right."

"Yu Qian..."

He looked at the sky and sighed helplessly.

"His death was caused by the abuse of power by treacherous officials and the framing of treacherous officials."

"But it is also a political necessity in the process of the transfer of imperial power."

"Zhu Qizhen, who succeeded in seizing the throne, established the legitimacy of his return to the throne."

"The ministers who are plotting to establish a feudal lord must be killed."

"As for whether he has any connection... the word 'intention' is already very straightforward."

Li Chengqian murmured:
"But... this is wrong..."

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian, who was unable to accept it for the moment, with a deep gaze.

Gao Ming is still somewhat naive and ignorant of the world.

"When an emperor kills someone, there is no right or wrong."

Li Chengqian looked up at Li Shimin, seemingly incredulous.

Li Shimin looked at him calmly.

Word by word:

"If you are wrong, you are wrong to the end. If you are right, you are right to the end."

"As for redress, that will be a matter for future generations."

……

Song Dynasty: Zhezong Period
Zhao Xu couldn't understand.

It feels like Yue Fei successfully conquered Huanglong, and then Song Huizong successfully restored the throne and turned around to kill Yue Fei.

The reason was still the unfounded desire to establish Emperor Qinzong.

His hand unconsciously touched his forehead.

How could something so unrelated happen like this?
"Huiqin Gao?"

"Trinity?" "Did the Ming Dynasty suffer a divine punishment?"

……

Ming dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang watched quietly.

Now that the decision has been made, there is no point in worrying about it.

Now he just wanted to see what the emperor who would succeed Zhu Qizhen would be like.

You have to prepare yourself for both situations.

In case Zhu Qiyu is already dead by the time we get there, there must still be an emperor to succeed to the throne after Zhu Qizhen is killed.

And if Zhu Jianshen is the same as Zhu Qizhen.

He just dealt with them all at once.

"Not much chance."

"Use with caution."

……

Ming Dynasty Yongle Period
Zhu Di is a little confused now.

You said let the second son succeed to the throne, that is absolutely impossible.

It was not justifiable according to clan rules, and logically he was afraid that the second son would cause trouble.

After all, the upper limit of IQ is there.

You mean passing the throne to the boss.

A sinkhole beckoned at him again.

As for not accepting the Sun family...

Which of these two bastards listened to me?
Zhu Di, with a frown on his face, took the tea from Empress Xu.

I was stunned for a moment.

He stared at Empress Xu blankly.

Empress Xu touched her cheek.

"What? Something?"

Zhu Di shook his head and lowered his head to take a sip of tea.

I can’t rely on my sons and grandsons anymore.

You should continue to sit on the throne yourself.

Isn't it just rest and recuperation?

Who wouldn’t?

But what to do next?
……

[During the reign of Zhu Qizhen during the Tianshun Dynasty, there was the "disgraceful" act of killing Yu Qian. ]

[Later, the "Cao-Shi Rebellion" caused by Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang also caused unrest. ]

[However, the "History of Ming Dynasty" and other related historical materials have always given high praise to Zhu Qizhen's achievements in the last eight years of his reign.]

[First, Zhu Qizhen pioneered the "national pension system" and promulgated the "Ceremony of Respecting the Elderly"]

[It is stipulated that people over 60 years old are exempted from corvée service, and people over 70 years old are given annual state subsidies. ]

【Second, before his death, he abolished Zhu Yuanzhang's "burial system" which was a step backward in history.】

……

{Zhu Qiyu built a mausoleum for himself in Tianshou Mountain before his death, and followed the old practice of Taizu and Taizong to bury his beloved Queen Hang first.}
{But Zhu Qizhen ordered the Shouling Mausoleum to be destroyed.}
{The posthumous title of Queen Hang was revoked, and her body was pulled out and disappeared.}
{There is no place for Zhu Qiyu in Tianshou Mountain.}
{Perhaps because he didn't want him to be too lonely, Zhu Qizhen considerately buried all of Zhu Qiyu's concubines except for the deposed Queen Wang, so that they could be reunited in the underworld.}
{As I said before, don’t look at how you say it, look at how you do it.}
{He hated Zhu Qiyu to death.}
……

【Therefore, the Ming History commented that Emperor Yingzong inherited the work of Emperor Renzong and Emperor Xuanzong, and the country was prosperous and the court and the people were peaceful.】

【What is the truth? 】

[It is undeniable that Zhu Qizhen did do many good deeds in the last eight years of his reign. ]

[Like Zhu Qiyu, he reduced taxes on disaster-stricken provinces many times and provided relief in a timely manner.]

【Adhere to the principle of "governing with leniency"】

[But the result was the intensification of ethnic conflicts in the southwest, the intensification of land annexation in the Central Plains, and the surge in the number of refugees.]

[In the first year of Tianshun, Wang Bin of Shaanxi Province started an uprising; in the third year of Tianshun, Songpan of Sichuan Province started an uprising; in the fifth year of Tianshun, Li Tianbao of Guizhou Province started an uprising; in the seventh year of Tianshun, the Yao people of Guangxi Province started an uprising.]

[Externally, the Oirat became weaker and weaker, while the Tatars became stronger and stronger, and attacked the Ming Dynasty's borders many times.]

[In the fifth year of Tianshun, the Tatar Bolai deceived Zhu Qizhen in the name of paying tribute and took the opportunity to seize Hetao, a strategic location on the Ming Dynasty border.]

[This led to the disaster of banditry that plagued the Ming Dynasty for more than a hundred years.]

[The situation of internal and external troubles intensified during the last eight years of Zhu Qizhen's reign.]

……

Ming Dynasty·Chenghua Period
Zhu Jianshen took a sip of tea with a smile.

Wan Zhen'er looked at the emperor, whose mouth was almost grinning from ear to ear, and shook her head helplessly.

Zhu Jianshen could no longer care about it.

He did a simple calculation.

With six evaluation criteria, even if his system gets full marks!

Which of the others can get one point or more?

In other words, there are no negative numbers in performance evaluation.

Otherwise, the five points won’t be enough to be deducted!

He is dead!

……

[On the second day of the first lunar month in the eighth year of Tianshun (1464), Zhu Qizhen was unwell and ordered Crown Prince Zhu Jianshen to supervise the country in Wenhua Hall.]

[He died of illness fifteen days later and was buried in Yuling Mausoleum. His posthumous title was "Rui Emperor" and his temple name was "Yingzong"]

[In the same month, the Da Tengxia Uprising broke out in Guangxi, and refugees in Jingxiang also rioted one after another.]

【And all this was left to his son. 】

【Emperor Chenghua Zhu Jianshen accepted it. 】
