The opening inventory of the top ten young emperors

The next night, Lei Xiaomeng's live broadcast started on time. This time she reviewed Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao.
[Hello, everyone. The third episode of the Young Emperor review is here. This time it is "The Top Ten Young Emperors, the Most Arrogant One - Emperor Wuzong of Ming (Part 1)". ]

This time the heavenly scroll appeared when Zhu Yuanzhang summoned several of his sons and grandsons who remained in Beijing to discuss going to Mobei to eliminate Wang Baobao.
Zhu Yuanzhang had sent the Prince of Qin and the Prince of Jin back to their native lands to prepare their armies. Only the second, fourth, and fifth sons remained in Beijing. He also called over the two children, Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Yunwen.
After the great victory at the front, he just wanted them to hear about military and political affairs so that they could be exposed to them from an early age.
How could a child from the Zhu family not know how to fight?
Seeing that the Heavenly Scroll had unexpectedly appeared at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang moved chairs for everyone to sit down and watch.

"I think everyone has seen this scroll these days. It just so happens that it appeared again today. It also talks about what happened in the later generations of our Ming Dynasty. It's a good opportunity for us to study it together."

[This young emperor was the tenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty.]
[I think everyone is familiar with his origin and life story. This emperor has appeared in many TV dramas. For example, the famous opera "Dragon and Phoenix", the TV series "Young Tang Bohu", "Four Talents" and so on. ]

[In these TV dramas, he is often mentioned in the film whenever a villain appears, that is, the great eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, the head of the inner factory - Liu Jin.]

The chief eunuch, the head of the inner factory?

Zhu Yuanzhang sucked his teeth and glanced at the eunuchs standing beside him.
After the founding of the country, he issued a clear ban. It prohibited eunuchs from interfering in government affairs, and even eunuchs were not allowed to read. How come in later generations, there are still people who have become nine thousand years old, and what is the internal factory official?
This is clearly a blatant defiance of the will of his ancestor.
As for which family the descendant was... Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but look at Zhu Di below and snorted fiercely.

Since the last time he was lifted from confinement, Zhu Di had not appeared in front of Zhu Yuanzhang for a long time. He was basically training troops in the camp outside the capital, or working in the newly built Jinyiwei Yamen.
Because he was exposed to the wind and sun all day long and had no time to rest, he became darker and thinner.

The fifth brother returned to Beijing recently and he has only been back for a few days. Even though he came here today, he was dragged here by his eldest brother. He didn't expect that when the matter was about to be discussed, this scroll appeared again by chance.
Even though this time he was talking about the tenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the glance his father gave him just now clearly showed that he was still angry with him.
It's really depressing.

He had made up his mind that he would apply to be transferred to his own place of residence in a few days. This was better than being hated by his father again and again like a blunt knife cutting his flesh.

[Friends who like Ming history or TV dramas set in the Ming Dynasty should know that there were four major spy agencies in the Ming Dynasty, namely Jinyiwei, Dongchang, Xichang and Neichang. ]
[Among them, Jinyiwei was established by Zhu Yuanzhang to monitor the words and deeds of the people and officials. When Zhu Yuanzhang first established the dynasty, it made great contributions to the Zhu family. ]

After hearing the words "Jinyiwei", the other people were fine, but the little Zhu Yunwen glanced at his fourth uncle Zhu Di and curled his lips.

[The East Factory was established by Emperor Yongle Zhu Di. As for the reason for its establishment, it was because after the Jingnan Campaign, Zhu Di urgently needed to establish a secret agency under his control to check and balance the Jinyiwei. ]

[At that time, among the ministers left in Jianwen's court, there was really no one he trusted. For this reason, he could only let the eunuchs around him be the commanders of the East Factory.]
[So, starting from the time of Zhu Di, the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty gradually stepped onto the political stage. Before that, Zhu Yuanzhang had expressly prohibited eunuchs from interfering in politics.] "Humph!"
The eunuch had just served Zhu Yuanzhang a cup of tea when he heard these words. He could not help but snorted heavily. He did not even drink the tea and almost threw it back onto the tray, immediately spilling it all over the tray.
The young eunuch was startled and immediately knelt down to apologize.

Seeing this, Zhu Di sighed in his heart. He wanted to kneel down and beg his father to let him take over, but he was pulled back by the Crown Prince Zhu Biao.
"Father, why don't you wait until you hear the words of the Heavenly Scroll before making a decision. Since everything in the Heavenly Scroll is about our Great Ming, there must be a lot of secrets revealed, which will definitely be beneficial to our Great Ming's national destiny."
"Humph, the prince is right. Listen carefully to me. No one is allowed to leave until you finish listening."
After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and asked the young eunuch to retreat.

[However, during the Yongle reign, although the eunuchs were entrusted with important tasks, they did not cause any disturbances because the Yongle Emperor was quite capable. Instead, they helped the Yongle Emperor stabilize the government.]

[Among them, the most famous one is the voyages of the eunuch Zheng He. The eunuch Zheng He's seven voyages to the West not only opened up the maritime trade route at the time, but also made the Ming Dynasty famous in the Western world.]
[These seven voyages to the West were the largest maritime expeditions in world history before the Age of Exploration began in Europe in the late 15th century.]

[However, unfortunately, after Zheng He's seven voyages to the West, maritime bans were implemented for most of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and our army and merchant caravans no longer carried out large-scale overseas expeditions.]
[This also led to us being complacent for many years, until a cannon shot awakened the sleeping Central Plains, and we realized that we had fallen behind the world for many years. ]

【Since then, the Central Plains entered the most humiliating century in its thousand-year history. If we had been able to walk further and for longer, we might not have suffered the subsequent humiliation.】

Tianjuan ended here and began to play some historical pictures of modern times. That most difficult and humiliating time immediately entered the eyes of emperors of all dynasties.
Zhu Yuanzhang, in particular, frowned as he looked at these scenes.

Standing still? Falling behind the world for many years? A century of humiliation?
These words made Zhu Yuanzhang nervous.
He looked at the sky, saw the desolate earth, the skinny people, and the smug faces of the barbarians, and gritted his teeth: "Is it another Five Barbarians' Invasion of China? Or are the Mongols back again?"

A cannon shot? What kind of cannon? Could it be a cannon?
Isn't that a very common thing? His Ming army also has a lot of them.
He had driven away the Mongolian and Tatar barbarians. Could it be that they were making a comeback?
"Father, please be patient. Haven't we asked the Imperial Academy to write down what the Heavenly Scroll said? We will slowly study and judge it later."
"Okay, remember it in detail for me. The more detailed the better."

"Wu Zong, this should be my temple name. Yes, I like the word 'Wu'."
At this time, in another time and space of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Wuzong Zhu Houzhao had already set up a table full of delicious food and wine in the garden of the Leopard House.
