[Zhengde's operation was smooth and seamless. Even though Liu Jin was extremely powerful, he was ultimately no match for Zhu Houzhao's orders.]

[Since it was so easy to remove the cancerous tumor Liu Jin, it is impossible that Zhengde was completely unaware of Liu Jin's affairs during the five years since he ascended the throne, so how could he have indulged him until now?]
[It can only be said that whether Liu Jin will fall or not depends on whether Zhu Houzhao wants him to fall. ]

[It can be said that if Liu Jin had not committed suicide and wanted to murder the emperor and rebel, he would not have been destroyed so quickly. ]
[Regicide and treason touched the bottom line of Emperor Zhengde. I'm afraid no emperor in the world would tolerate it.]

Tianjuan's voice echoed in the courtyard. At this time, Liu Jin's eyelashes moved when he heard this sentence, and he finally opened his eyes. But he saw Emperor Zhengde staring at Tianjuan intently.
It was only then that he realized that the young man he had served for so many years was so strange at this moment.

[Or, it could be said that Liu Jin's enormous power was largely due to Emperor Zhengde's deliberate connivance.]

【Think about it, Zhengde had just ascended the throne, he was only fourteen or fifteen years old, he was just a little playful, so he found some young eunuchs to be his playmates, and let them get some benefits.】
[So the ministers couldn't stand it anymore. Several cabinet elders, who were almost 200 years old in total, wrote to the emperor and asked him to kill all these young men.]

[Isn’t this like your parents hoping that you would study hard and get into a key high school during your adolescence, but they ended up throwing away your favorite comic book action figures? ]
[What will you do next? Run away from home? Go on a hunger strike? Or throw a tantrum and ask your parents to take back all your toys?]

Nineteen-year-old Zhu Houzhao: …

Thirteen-year-old Ying Zheng: …

Seventeen-year-old Liu Che: ...

Fourteen-year-old Kangxi: ...

Fourteen-year-old Shunzhi: ...

[It is certainly wrong to run away from home, go on a hunger strike, or throw a tantrum. ]
[Your parents are asking you to study hard for your own good. You should negotiate with them, strive for mutual understanding, and work together to get through the rebellious period of adolescence.]

[But the situation at that time was that Zhu Houzhao's father had passed away and his mother didn't care about him at all. Instead, several old gentlemen came forward and told the little emperor to stop playing around and even let him kill his childhood friends with his own hands. ]
[This kind of request, let alone the emperor, even ordinary people would not accept it. Not to mention Zhu Houzhao, who had always been so arrogant since he was a child. ]

[As a result, none of the Eight Tigers were harmed, but the ministers who had advised against it were driven out of the court one after another. Later, Zhu Houzhao established an inner factory to manage the two factories and one guard that were originally infiltrated by the court officials.]
【Then after a few years, Neichang became the dominant power, Liu Jin was so powerful that he was called the Nine Thousand Years Old. Everything had to go through him before it could reach the ears of the emperor.】

[To put it nicely, Liu Jin was the one who "established the emperor" first, and Zhu Houzhao was the one who "sat on the throne" later. It seems that Liu Jin had hollowed out the imperial power, and even he himself thought he had the ability to usurp the throne. ]
[Unexpectedly, the "Emperor" was ordered to "Sit the Emperor" and his family was confiscated and tortured, and he was despised by the people.]

【Then the young emperor came to his senses and returned to the court. The old ministers who had left the court returned to the court and continued to assist the emperor. The ministers were harmonious and everything was going well.】
[But when these ministers return to the court, they will find that although the Neichang was abolished due to Liu Jin's downfall, the two factories and one guard have been completely replaced, and they no longer have a say. ]
【The imperial guards resumed their duties, and the emperor's ears became quiet.】【At this time, everyone realized that the so-called "establishing an emperor" was just a "white glove" for Emperor Zhengde to take back power! 】

The emperor's white glove to take back power?
Li Dongyang looked at Tianjuan and sighed secretly in his heart.

Hongwu Dynasty.
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard what Tian Juan said, he looked at Zhu Di deeply again...deeply, as if he wanted to get to know his son again.
This sight made Zhu Di feel uneasy and he lowered his head. At this time, Zhu Yunwen interrupted again: "This Emperor Zhengde has inherited the style of his fourth uncle."

This sentence is clearly praising Zhengde, but it actually implies that Zhu Di is hypocritical and unfathomable.
This was the second time Zhu Yunwen spoke, and every time he spoke he seemed unfriendly to Zhu Di. This time he also praised him openly but criticized him secretly.
Zhu Biao could no longer bear it and scolded again: "Yunwen, the Empress Dowager said a few days ago that she missed you. Have you paid your respects to the Empress Dowager today?"

Although the crown prince lived in the palace, he did not have to pay respects to the queen every day because of his busy government affairs. Yesterday, Zhu Xiongying and his grandchildren had just gone to the queen's palace to pay respects, so how could Zhu Biao not know about it?
He said this now because he wanted Zhu Yunwen to leave quickly and stop speaking rudely in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Xiongying immediately understood what his father meant and said, "We haven't seen the Royal Grandmother for several days. We will go and pay our respects to her now."

But obviously, Zhu Yunwen didn't want to give up at this juncture: "Father, I just went to the Royal Grandmother's place yesterday, and I also want to hear the story of this Emperor Zhengde. As for the Royal Grandmother's place, I will go with my eldest brother after the Heavenly Scroll is finished."
"If you want to stay, child, then stay. Your mother won't care about it." Seeing that Zhu Yunwen was unwilling, Zhu Yuanzhang also said.
Since his father had spoken, Zhu Biao could not say anything else. He could only give Zhu Yunwen a warning look, and then continued to look at the heavenly scroll.

[However, despite this, Emperor Zhengde was indeed very bold. ]
[Although Liu Jin was executed in the end and his power was taken back. However, before the dust settled, how could he know that Liu Jin would not do the same thing as Zhao Gao during the Qin Dynasty? How could he know that he would not become the second Emperor Jianwen?]

【Zhao Gao usurped power, and Liu Jin usurped power. 】
[One succeeded, the other was executed. ]

【During the reign of Emperor Jianwen, Prince Yan successfully rebelled. 】
[During the reign of Emperor Zhengde, Prince Anhua and Prince Ning both rebelled, but one was put down in a dozen days, and the other in more than forty days.]

[Could it be that Emperor Zhengde is really the chosen son of heaven, the super super super super VIP darling of heaven, so he has such excellent luck that he can easily solve all problems by lying on the dragon couch? ]
[My friends, today we will review "The Top Ten Young Emperors: The Most Arrogant and Crazy - Emperor Wuzong of Ming Dynasty (Part 1)" here. If you want to know what happens next, please continue to watch the middle part tomorrow.]

[Now we will enter the message lottery stage, are you ready? 】

As soon as the message was left, the message alert sounded immediately, and there were indeed five messages.
When the video was playing before, Lei Xiaomeng took the time to check the background and found that the last system prompt was to remind her to upgrade her live broadcast room and that she would be able to have five messages pinned to the top in the future.

Lei Xiaomeng immediately clicked on the comments and discovered that this time, for the first time ever, there was no comment from @败家二世祖.
