The opening inventory of the top ten young emperors

[However, we can’t completely blame Zhu Yunwen for being so anxious. Just look at the people around him. ]
[Almost all of them were heroes who helped his grandfather and father conquer the world.]
[These are the remaining meritorious officials after the Lan Yu case in the late Hongwu period.]

[The burning of the Qinggong Tower mentioned by the uploader before was just an exaggerated way of writing by later literati in the storybook, which was just an allusion to the real reason why Zhu Yuanzhang launched the Lanyu case.]
[In fact, at that time, Zhu Yuanzhang had already been clearing the way for himself, the crown prince. Unfortunately, although there were not many meritorious officials left, Zhu Yunwen still could not control them. ]
[Because it is too difficult to get recognition from these people. ]

Listening to the voice of Tianjuan and glancing at the ministers kneeling on the ground, Zhu Yuanzhang felt so angry that his teeth were itching.
Tian Juan was right. If his son died young, only the crown prince would inherit the throne. He would definitely find a way to clear the way for the crown prince to prevent the ruler from being weak and the ministers from being strong.
Among these officials, his old brothers were the worst.

【Zhu Yunwen was the ruler of a country, so under such circumstances, he had to find other ways to alleviate these anxieties and find ways to change this situation.】
[This is also the reason why he used civil officials such as Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, and Fang Xiaoru after he ascended the throne.]
[Because they have less contact with those heroes, they are "insiders" who can help them make suggestions. ]

[However, Zhu Yunwen's situation is not uncommon. Among the emperors of all dynasties, there are two fathers and sons who are very similar to him, namely Shunzhi and Kangxi. But that's a long story. We can open a separate episode to focus on it in the future. ]

Everyone is looking forward to seeing Shunzhi (Kangxi): Yes, I also ascended the throne at a young age.

【Let’s go back to Zhu Yunwen first. 】
[As mentioned before, Zhu Yunwen valued civil officials, which alienated the military generals, which made them dissatisfied. But in fact, Zhu Yunwen did not value civil officials very much. 】

[He only used his own people, Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, and Fang Xiaoru, who were nicknamed "Three Fools of Jianwen" by history enthusiasts.]
[Especially Huang Zicheng, he almost obeyed his orders. Even Qi Tai, if he disagreed with Huang Zicheng, Zhu Yunwen would accept Huang Zicheng's opinion.]

[For example, Qi Tai suggested that the reduction of power should be done gradually. First, the powerful princes' troops could be transferred to the border to guard the border, and then they could be weakened step by step.]
【However, Huang Zicheng suggested that Zhu Yunwen should first eliminate the five kings of Zhou, Qi, Xiang, Dai and Min. 】
[The result is obvious. This move alerted the enemy and also allowed those vassal kings who had their own troops to prepare.]

[In the end, Zhu Di rebelled under the pretext of "clearing the court of emperors" and demanded the execution of Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai.]
[Later, some people even commented that if Huang Zicheng had died earlier, Zhu Di would never have succeeded in his rebellion.]

Zhu Yuanzhang and his son Zhu Biao took this important note.

【Due to the Jingnan Campaign, the new policies implemented by Emperor Jianwen were ultimately abandoned due to the rebellion.】
【But to be honest, in the New Deal, policies like the "well-field system" proposed by Fang Xiaoru were actually completely unsuitable for the development of productivity at the time. 】
[It's a pity that there was no political economy at that time. Otherwise, Emperor Jianwen would not have taken these ancient systems as the standard without any choice. ]

[Speaking of this, the up master can't help but sigh, why the feudal dynasties in history were overthrown after several generations, it was because they relied too much on the personal ability and character of the emperor. ]
【Just like the two emperors Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Yunwen, what would happen if their time and space were switched? 】

[It is hard to say anything else. If Zhu Houzhao had become the Jianwen Emperor, the Jianwen Dynasty would have been destroyed in less than four years, and he himself would not have ended up with a palace burning. In fact, under the circumstances at the time, it would have been safer for Zhu Yunwen to do nothing. He was a classic example of turning a trump card into a bad one.]
[However, what would have happened if Zhu Houzhao had not been so clever and had been as eager for quick success as Emperor Jianwen, setting off fires everywhere but unable to clean up the mess? I'm afraid he would have become either the second Qin II or the second Jianwen.]

Hongwu Dynasty.
Died in palace burning?
Isn't that the same way Uncle Twelve died? How painful it must have been!
Zhu Yunwen shuddered and hugged his elder brother's arm even tighter.

In front of the hall, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the scroll and suddenly asked Hu Weiyong: "Who do you think I am?"
"What?" Hu Weiyong didn't quite understand.
"I am I, I am no one." After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around, with his back to all the ministers, and stared at the words "Fengtian Hall" in a trance. Qin Dynasty.
Looking at the Heavenly Scroll, Qin Shi Huang also murmured, "Who am I?"
"Your Majesty is Your Majesty." Li Si on the side responded.

Qin Shi Huang looked down at him and said, "Li Si, you don't think I will keep you now, do you?"
"I have never regretted assisting Your Majesty, and I am naturally not afraid of being killed by Your Majesty. I am only willing to do my best to help Your Majesty."

At this moment, not only Zhu Yuanzhang and Qin Shihuang, but all the emperors who watched this episode were asking themselves this question.
I, which one is it?
If there was a truth that applies to both ancient and modern times, perhaps my dynasty would not have collapsed so quickly.

[Okay, let’s stop reviewing “The First of the Top Ten Young Emperors: Emperor Wuzong of Ming (Part 2)” today. Tomorrow will be the last episode. We can discuss the historical background of Emperor Wuzong of Ming Zhu Houzhao and the deep reasons why he did this.]

[After editing, I realized that I really talked about a lot of things about the Jianwen Dynasty this time, so I just put all these contents in one episode. But I promise everyone that I will try not to go off topic in the next episode! ]
[In fact, I always feel that it is a pity for Emperor Wuzong of Ming. If he had not died at the age of 31, he might have accomplished more great things.]
[Unfortunately, there is no if in history. 】

What? I died at the age of thirty-one.
The wine that Zhu Houzhao had just put into his mouth was sprayed out by him...

[Okay, enough chit-chat, now it's time to leave a message and win a prize. Your Majesty, if you have any questions, please ask them quickly. The up master can't wait to answer you! ]

As soon as Lei Xiaomeng's voice fell, various message alerts came one after another.
She quickly opened the backstage and saw the same five messages as last time.

[@Super IQ, serious patient with chuunibyou: Why did Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty die? ]

【@The Emperor of the Dragon who unified the world and lived forever: Why did I die? 】

【@History's No.1 Prince: Why did my son Xiongying die? Could it be related to Hu Weiyong? 】

[@子控凶老父: Did Hu Weiyong ever plot a rebellion? ]

【@千刀万剐九千岁: There are still two days left, and His Majesty will definitely pardon our family! 】

When Lei Xiaomeng saw this message, she was completely shocked.
This time the message was discussed by everyone collectively. Do you want to discuss a life-and-death situation?
