King Luhuang of the Ming Dynasty: My father, Ming Taizu

The Emperor's bedroom
A smell of gunpowder filled the entire battlefield.

A huge palace was razed to the ground.

If you get hit, you will be seriously injured if not killed.

In the ruins, a thick beam still stood firm despite the explosion just now.

Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew by, and this wind finally overwhelmed the huge body.

A thick pillar fell directly into a pile of rubble, causing a violent shaking and the rubble to collapse.

If there is still someone inside, it will be a dead end.

A whistle sounded, and an emperor wearing a yellow dragon robe and with a charred face was seen sitting on a high platform.

He rushed out when the explosion sounded.

"Tsk! Humph!"

Zhu Youjian spat twice, spraying out all the dirt in his mouth. Then, he found another large vat.

Zhu Youjian soaked his face in the clean water, held his breath, and felt the fresh air.

I couldn't help it anymore and started making bubbles in the water.

Seeing that he could not hold on any longer, he surfaced and yawned.

This is what it means to take a bath in the truest sense.

They looked up only when the water stopped.

This was a look Zhu Youjian had never seen before, because he always treated Zhu Tan as his own.

The young man in the water was very handsome, with sharp eyebrows, starry eyes, a high nose, and angular thin lips.

Coupled with the dust on his body, he looks even more masculine.

Compared to before, it's a world of difference.

Zhu Youjian smiled and did not go to take a shower. Instead, he sat in a corner thinking, waiting for someone to ask him.

It is not easy to become a wise king, but it is too easy to become an emperor who does nothing all day long.

During these few days, he realized that life in the Ming Dynasty was even more difficult than he had imagined.

Full of loopholes, full of loopholes.

The first is the financial problem. Although the Ming Dynasty was frugal, its situation was getting worse year by year.

Secondly, it is the political and management system, which I will not say much about. Take Qian County as an example. Because there were no ministers in the Ming Dynasty, all affairs had to be handled by the emperor, who was not omnipotent and not omnipotent. From this point of view, no matter how hard His Majesty Chongzhen tried, he could not turn the situation around by himself.

Moreover, in the Ming Dynasty, there was no poetry like in the Tang and Song Dynasties, only eight-part essays.

……

He didn't know how to answer these questions.

Fortunately, he was a foolish emperor who did not shut up even when lying down, allowing Wei Zhongxian to deal with it, otherwise he would have been scared half to death.

Back to the foolish king, his practice was not an easy task. Not long ago, he almost lost his life while performing the system's alchemy task.

If he hadn't escaped fast enough, he would have died long ago.

Zhu Youjian was called while he was half asleep. He got up and saw that it was Empress Yi'an.

Empress Zhang was taking a nap in the Cining Palace when she suddenly heard the loud noise. She was startled and when she heard that it was the emperor's bedroom, she hurried over.

Zhu Youjian chuckled and followed him over, but he realized something was wrong halfway through.

There was no one else around, and Empress Zhang Yi'an no longer had her usual condescending look.

Zhu Youjian smiled slightly.
Empress Zhang's face darkened, she grabbed Zhu Youjian's ear and said sternly:

"Where have you been these days? I just heard that you have handed over power to Wei Zhongxian? What are you doing here? Didn't you say you are a cultivator? You've made me so anxious..."

Without other people around, Empress Zhang Yi'an no longer cared about the relationship between the monarch and his subjects. She kept talking incessantly and treated Zhu Youjian as her own brother.

Haven’t grown up yet!
Empress Yi'an Zhang was seven years older than Zhu Youjian. Before Zhu Youjian became Prince Xin, she always treated him as her own sister.

Now in the empty Daming Palace, Zhu Youjian only has Empress Zhang.

Seeing this, Zhu Youjian could only smile bitterly:
"Sister-in-law, I have my own plans!"

"How to arrange it? It's really chilling!"

Empress Zhang raised one hand, as if she wanted to slap Zhu Youjian on the butt, but Zhu Youjian was already an adult now, and he was an even bigger child, so naturally she couldn't beat him anymore.

In the end, I held back and scolded him unforgivingly:
"Before your eldest brother died, he asked me to take good care of you! You did this! Do you know how many eyes are watching you? Ouch!"

"The Ming Dynasty has a history of more than a hundred years. You are a carpenter, and like your brother, you are a cultivator. Did I offend the Zhu family?"

Zhu Youjian covered his ears, bared his teeth, but with a smile on his face: "Sister-in-law, believe me, I know my limits!"

A burst of hurried footsteps sounded from a distance, and Empress Zhang loosened her hand and became serious again.

"Keep pretending! I don't want it!"

After saying that, Queen Zhang left angrily!

Zhu Tan was stunned. What the Ming Dynasty had the most was virtuous women, such as Zhu Yuanzhang's Empress Ma, Empress Zhou Zhu Youxiao, and Empress Zhou.

……

the other side,
Wei Zhongxian came hurriedly with Wang Chengen.

Wei Zhongxian asked: "What has the emperor done during this period?"

Wang Chengen pondered for a moment.

Quite embarrassing.

During this period, he had been observing the emperor's every move. He was either doing nothing in the palace, fooling around in the harem, or picking up girls in the harem.

If you don't do these two things,

Therefore, he must be practicing some weird moves.

Wang Chengen hesitated for a moment, and seeing Wei Zhongxian's impatient look, he had no choice but to answer respectfully:
"My Lord, the Emperor has been very romantic these past few days. He was intimate with Empress Zhou two days ago, and was fooling around with the concubines yesterday. This morning he said he wanted to practice Tai Chi with us, and at noon he said he wanted to get some explosives."

What's going on? Fun? Playing? Tai Chi? Explosives?
Zhu Youjian was indeed a man who did not work seriously, and nothing he did was serious.

When Wei Zhongxian heard this, he was very happy, but his face looked serious.

"I asked you to keep an eye on His Majesty, what do you think?"

"It's okay to hang out with those concubines, but it would be too dangerous to make explosives or something."

Wang Chengen was so frightened that his face wrinkled into a ball.

"If the Emperor insists on using explosives, there is nothing we can do!"

Wei Zhongxian opened his eyes and strode forward:

"If anything happens to your majesty, I'll take your head."

Wang Chengen didn't dare to say anything more and just followed obediently.

Although he said this, Wei Zhongxian actually hoped that something bad would happen to the emperor so that he could feel at ease.

She walked in and saw that Zhu Youjian was fine. Zhu Youjian was lying on the ground lazily, looking lazy.

"Hey, it's so late!"

"Your Majesty, please spare my life. I deserve to die!"

A large number of royal guards followed closely behind and surrounded the entire ruins.

Ke Shi hurried over, pushed through the crowd, and said nervously:
"Your Majesty, is your Majesty all right?"

As he spoke, he saw that Zhu Youjian was safe and sound, and he quickly knelt down.

"Your Majesty, holy peace! Your Majesty, if anything happens to you, I will be dead!"

Zhu Youjian naturally knew Zhu Youxiao because she had been his wet nurse since childhood.

His eyes glanced down and fell on Ke Shi, a woman wearing a palace robe, her dress was certainly not that of an ordinary person.

He noticed that there was a hint of emotion, a hint of touch, and a hint of worry in her eyes.

The other part is an indescribable and incomprehensible feeling.

"I'm fine, Nanny, get up quickly!"

One of them was being supported, while the other, a handsome Jinyiwei wearing a flying fish robe, was kneeling on the ground.

Jinyiwei disciple Shen Lian said: "General Shen Lian was unable to save the emperor, please forgive me! Please forgive me!"

It turned out to be Shen Lian! Such a familiar name! But he doesn't look like the one I saw on TV? Uh...

Such a coincidence?
In her memory, Shen Lian was a cold man with good martial arts skills. If there was a chance, she could recruit him.

"Get up, General Flag!"

Wei Zhongxian knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, are you okay?"

Zhu Youjian said nothing, but walked forward and helped Wei Zhongxian up: "You are my good subject, don't kneel down and hurt yourself!"

Many people knelt on the ground, and behind them, there was an endless stream of people.

It is impossible for them to help people up one by one.

When the eunuchs, imperial physicians, palace maids, and royal guards were all present, he slowly spoke:
"I'm fine, how could something happen?"

"Alas, I failed to make the elixir this time. Can you help me get some charcoal and sulfur?"

Zhu Youjian dusted off his clothes and left leisurely.

Zhu Youjian turned around more than ten meters away and said calmly:
"Also, my cultivation method is right here, help me find it! I still need to practice."

Wei Zhongxian stood up and nodded: "Yes, Your Highness, I will order someone to find it immediately."

Zhu Youjian walked forward a dozen steps and then stopped:

"Oh, I almost forgot. Write an imperial decree and ask me to search for all the gods and ask them to help me practice!"

Wei Zhongxian nodded and said, "I will obey your majesty's order and I will pass it on immediately."

After walking more than ten steps, he rubbed his temple and turned back.

"Oh, one more thing. Go find me some beautiful maids. I want three thousand concubines, but there are not three thousand concubines in this palace."

"No one is left out from the world's beauties!"

As soon as Zhu Youjian left, Wei Zhongxian wiped the sweat from his forehead, smiled slightly, and felt secretly happy in his heart.

Every step he took, he looked back, as if he had gone mad.

It seems that his brain was damaged after he fell.

This young emperor really intended to give up the throne and prepare for cultivation.

A tyrant is the emperor in his mind.

"Shen Lian, what are you daydreaming about? Hurry up!"

Wei Zhongxian turned around and said to Shen Lian: "I will take care of this matter.

Shen Lian shook his head and ordered people to clean up the battlefield.

……

After everyone had gone far away, Zhu Youjian took out a small, crystal clear pill from his arms.

This is the elixir he wants. "Is this what you said? It seems to be true?"

Zhu Youjian took it and looked at it carefully. Just now, he received a task of refining an elixir, and whether he succeeded or not, he would get a reward from the system.

It actually worked!
Zhu Youjian took the translucent pill in front of him and looked at it. He saw that the inside of the pill seemed to contain endless space, like the vast starry sky. It was a strange power.

"It's just a glass ball. You went through so much trouble, and it's just a glass ball?"

"Can I eat it?"

You know, many emperors committed suicide because of taking drugs.

I don't know if it's really poisonous.

If it was really a deadly poison, then he would be the earliest emperor in history to poison someone.

With a hint of hesitation, he stuck out his tongue and licked it gently.

At first, his tongue felt a little stinging, but soon he felt a surge of energy spreading through his body.

Zhu Youjian hesitated for a moment, but swallowed the whole pill. A strange energy began to spread in his body, and a warm feeling surged through his body, allowing him to clearly feel a new vein in his body. He could feel that his meridians were extending towards his dantian.

This is the true effect of the marrow cleansing pill.

It seems that after searching around this palace, I finally found the medicinal herb that His Majesty Jiajing left for me.

Emperor Jiajing was also a master of cultivation, but he didn't know how to cultivate, how to practice, and how to make elixirs.

"The host has refined a pill and obtained a copy of the Supreme Sword Technique!"

As Zhu Youjian's voice sounded, a secret book appeared in his hand. This was a secret book called "Xiaoyao Sword Technique".

Zhu Youjian searched on his panel but couldn't find any information related to himself.

"【Host: Chongzhen Zhu Tan, Zhu Youjian.】

[Age: 17]

[Cultivation Level: Qi Refining Failure (20%)]

"What? A marrow cleansing pill destroyed my palace. You tell me, I'm not even at the Qi training stage?"

"Didn't you just say that one pill can allow me to break through to the Qi training stage?"

Zhu Youjian's face turned ugly. The first level of Qi training can only be considered as a beginner. If you can't even reach the first level, you are a waste.

"Xiaoyao Sword Technique" is a basic martial art that can only be mastered at the first level of Qi Refining.

This is also the reason why he was unable to practice the "Xiaoyao Sword Technique".

Facing the inexplicable accusation, the monk who was lying flat said in a cold voice:
"Your Majesty! Because the Marrow Cleansing Pill did not transform into spiritual energy after entering the body, you must learn how to practice and how to absorb the medicinal power of the pill."

"Oh! Why didn't you tell me?"

Zhu Youjian showed a hint of realization on his face. It seemed that he was too anxious. He had to digest the pill completely, so that he could break through to the Qi Refining Stage.

Embark on the path of cultivating immortals.

Zhu Youjian was daydreaming when he suddenly turned a corner and ran into Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian simply scared him to death.

Wei Zhongxian knelt on the ground, very respectfully:

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

"Stand up!" a voice came from behind.

Zhu Youjian responded indifferently and was about to leave.

He didn't want to see Wei Zhongxian's ferocious look again.

When she looked back, Queen Zhou was already standing in front of her. She had completely changed from her usual gentle and majestic demeanor and walked towards her angrily.

Zhu Youjian looked at Queen Zhou, whose face turned red with anger, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He had a bad feeling in his heart, but he felt that the matter was still under his control.

"Zhu Youjian, you bastard! Bitch!" Queen Zhou cursed.

Wei Zhongxian was stunned when he heard that Empress Zhou actually called him by his first name instead of his last name.

After saying that, Queen Zhou rushed to Zhu Youjian and beat him up with all her strength.

"Black Tiger Claw!"

"The wings of the Great Peng." Lin Feng said coldly.

"My balls!"

His movements were swift, but not a single one of his moves missed.

……

In front of her, Zhu Youjian and Queen Zhou didn't look like the rulers of a country at all, let alone the rulers of a country.

"What are you doing? I am the emperor!" Zhu Youjian, with disheveled hair, slumped on the city wall.

Queen Zhou was startled at first, and her anger subsided a little, but when she saw Zhu Youjian's eyes, she was immediately furious.

"Zhu Youjian, you fought with me for three days and three nights yesterday, and today you want to take a concubine. This is outrageous! How can I live?"

"Zhu Youjian, you are the eternal scum, are you a bastard? Believe it or not, I will arrest you!"

Empress Zhou and Zhu Youjian had a quarrel, and the situation was somewhat out of control.

The palace maids and eunuchs around were watching from the sidelines, not daring to move at all.

He decided to be a spectator.

Such a prosperous scene is rare in this depressing palace.

He waited for Zhu Youjian to stand up from the ground and begged him to take a detour.

"It's my fault, it's my fault! You are really a shrew! Are you a Hedong lion?"

Wei Zhongxian was still looking at the show with a big smile on his face, acting like a big shot, which made Zhu Youjian angry:

"Wei Zhongxian, I wonder if you can stop joking!"

The smile on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a well-behaved look: "Your Majesty, I dare not!"

"I'm telling you, I won't marry another concubine. Stop all the procedures immediately and let these people go back!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Wei Zhongxian kowtowed again!

"stop!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Wei Zhongxian fled in panic.

He raised his head and smiled widely.

But he didn't expect that Zhu Youjian was actually a henpecked husband.

This emperor was really completely deposed.

In this matter, Wei Zhongxian is better than Zhu Youjian.

He is not afraid of his wife!

Wait, he doesn’t have a wife!

Neither

He already has a wife.

……

Queen Zhou was pulling Zhu Youjian by the ear and bringing him into the palace.

"Ouch! It hurts! Let go, let go!"

Zhu Youjian's head was tilted badly because his ears were pulled, so his head tilted downwards.

Along the way, he saw many different things.

The world turned upside down,

Blue sky and white clouds, green bricks and tiles, and tall buildings.

The maids in the palace,
Then there is Shen Lian, who is the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards.

Zhu Youjian will never forget Shen Lian’s surprised look, which made his eyeballs almost bulge out.

The next second, his expression turned ugly, as if he despised himself.

What a joke!
In his impression, Shen Lian was fascinated by many women.

Zhu Youjian, Shen Lian will never forget him in his life. How could he be afraid of his own wife?

This emperor is really as cowardly as a mouse.

This is very strange.

Queen Zhou returned to the palace and released Zhu Youjian. Then, with a look of guilt on her face, she knelt down on the ground in front of Zhu Youjian.

"Your Majesty, please spare me! Please spare me! It's my fault!"

Queen Zhou had a guilty look on her face. As she watched herself grabbing Zhu Youjian's ears, she felt extremely guilty.

She was about to slap herself, but was stopped by Zhu Youjian.

Zhu Youjian covered his ears with one hand and grabbed Empress Zhou's hand with the other.

"I don't blame you! I want to praise you for your acting! It's really good!"

……

It's just for show.

Go back a few days.

Then, it’s warmth.

Zhu Youjian and the empress dowager hugged each other and cried.

Empress Zhou suddenly asked, "Your Majesty, I heard that you handed over the power to Wei Zhongxian, is that right? Emperor, you have to think about it carefully. What kind of person is Wei Zhongxian? Don't you know?"

Hehehehehe…hehehehehe…

A bitter smile appeared on Zhu Youjian's face, and Queen Zhou became more and more puzzled.

"Why is Your Majesty laughing?"

Zhu Youjian stood up, his face full of worry. Empress Zhou also stood up, stretched out a warm little hand, and held him in her arms.

Zhu Tan touched his pocket, then walked to the bedside table and took out a cigarette.

Only then did he remember that he was now in Ming Dynasty and there was no cigarette.

Zhu Tan took out a cigarette and took a deep puff:
"I know exactly who he is! But I have no choice! I can only smile bitterly!"

"Queen, this political struggle is extremely dangerous. Do you think that I can get rid of Wei Zhongxian with just one imperial edict? No, he has eyes all over the imperial city. It would be a thousand times easier for him to kill me than for me to kill him!"

"Drinking one drink after another, taking one step forward at a time, one step at a time, one step at a time, you may very likely pull down your eggs."

"This is why I have to keep a low profile! I need my own wings! During this time, I will be a foolish emperor. When the time is right, I will take action!" (End of this chapter)
