The opening inventory of the top ten young emperors

[Hello everyone, I am Lei Xiaomeng. "The Most Arrogant and Crazy Young Emperor - Emperor Wuzong of Ming Dynasty (Part 2)" continues to be broadcast. I hope you like it. ]

The Heavenly Scroll has been opened again!
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di immediately looked up into the sky.
Zhu Yuanzhang: This time, I must become a powerful user.

Zhengde period.
After the last Heavenly Scroll was completed, the Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao moved into the Hanlin Academy with his eunuch chiefs and several cabinet ministers.
He directed the editors who were usually only knowledgeable on weekdays to cooperate with the Ministry of Works and help him find relevant information about the flying iron bird and trains.
Of course, the Imperial Medical Bureau also moved into the Hanlin Academy, and their research was of course on the production, treatment and efficacy of penicillin.

As a result, after half a month, the emperor was still interested, but these old scholars were very troubled. In the department that was originally the most idle in the court, no one dared to be absent from work and ask for leave these days. Even drinking tea at work and cooking wine after get off work has become a luxury.

However, after all these days of hard work, I have actually seen some results.
An editor named Yan from the Hanlin Academy found a drawing of a wooden bird made by Lu Ban from a dusty book. This is probably the closest drawing to the iron bird.

Zhengde was very excited after seeing it, and immediately asked the Ministry of Industry to rush to make it according to the blueprint. Although the so-called train had not yet taken shape, it was still a gain.

Not only that, the Imperial Medical Bureau had already removed the mold spots from the moldy oranges, and after racking their brains to come up with a solution, they found several death row prisoners suffering from lung disease to test the medicine.
Unfortunately, after taking the medicine, the prisoners suffered from vomiting and diarrhea. Not only did their lung disease not get cured, but several of them even died of gas. Zhengde felt that this was really unlucky.

The wooden birds were just made a few days ago, but Zhengde was disappointed after seeing them with great interest. The reason was that these wooden birds only had the shape, not to mention flying, they were too big and even difficult to move.
Things had progressed to this point, and Zhengde's patience had been exhausted. He counted on his fingers and realized that he had not been back to the Leopard Room for half a month, and had stayed in the palace all the time, but there was still no progress on this matter. He felt even more depressed.

Just as Zhengde was about to lose interest, he saw a golden light flash in the sky, and the heavenly scroll was unfolded again. Zhengde was overjoyed and hurried to the courtyard of the Hanlin Academy. His eunuchs tactfully brought him a chair.

Zhu Houzhao sat down without hesitation: "Everyone, please keep your eyes on me."
"There are rewards for learning well."

Qin Dynasty.
Qin Shihuang, who was preparing for the Fengshan Ceremony, looked up at the colorful glow on the top of the mountain with a deep look in his eyes.

[Last time, a majesty asked in the comment section about the cause of death of Emperor Wuzong of Ming, Zhu Houzhao, and the upmaster also gave a brief answer. ]

[It is a pity that Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty died young, but what is even more regrettable is that he did not leave any offspring. Therefore, after his death, only one person could be chosen from among the princes to inherit the throne. And this lucky prince was Zhu Houcong, the son of Prince Xing, who was also known as Emperor Jiajing in history. ]

Zhu Houzhao: So that's how it is. No wonder my character is so weird. It turns out that it's not my descendants who don't want me to have a good reputation, but my cousin who doesn't want me to have a good reputation.

Zhu Di: This will... cut off my family line and exterminate my descendants!

Zhu Yuanzhang: Useless thing. By the time I was 31, I had many descendants and established the Ming Dynasty!
Qin Shi Huang: This dynasty is very chaotic.

Emperor Wu of Han: There are already ten emperors and there are still vassal kings who rebel. The vassal kings ascend to the throne... my Enfeoffment Order is still effective. [Regarding Emperor Jiajing, when Yang Tinghe and Empress Dowager Zhang urged him to ascend the throne, they said that he should recognize Emperor Zhengde's father, Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youtang, as his father, and Empress Zhang as his mother. He also agreed.]
[But once he entered the Forbidden City, this man changed his mind. He said he would inherit the throne but not the heir, and he firmly refused to acknowledge Zhu Youtang and his wife as his parents.]
【After many great debates on rituals, Emperor Jiajing finally won and posthumously named his father Emperor Ruizong of Ming. He reigned for 45 years, becoming the longest-reigning emperor in the history of the Ming Dynasty.】

Zhu Yuanzhang: Are all the descendants of my Zhu family rebellious by nature?

Zhu Houzhao: The title of King Xing was conferred by my father, I will depose him immediately!
Zhu Yunwen: I got this throne for free.

[Some fans may wonder why the uploader mentioned Emperor Jiajing at the beginning. Is he going to go off topic again and never come back? ]
[Ahem, the answer is: yes and no. ]
[The uploader does have the title of "The King of Off-topic", but I mention him because he single-handedly fought against all the ministers and incorporated his lineage into the royal orthodoxy. He also single-handedly became the emperor with the longest absence from court in the history of the Ming Dynasty, for more than 20 years! ]

Zhu Yuanzhang: I haven't attended court for twenty years. What should I do with the memorials?
Zhu Houzhao: Wow, even less reliable than me.

Zhu Yunwen: Aren’t you afraid of being usurped?
Qin Shi Huang: This kind of emperor should be beheaded!
[A good prince became an emperor in the blink of an eye. He didn't attend court for 20 years, but he was able to keep the country stable. It seems that Zhu Houcong, like his cousin Zhu Houzhao, is a "favorite of God." ]

[We have analyzed before that Zhu Houzhao was extremely smart. He was well versed in the art of balancing the emperor. Not only did he secure the throne, he also made many achievements, and he was fully worthy of the word "martial".]
[So was Emperor Jiajing Zhu Houcong also some kind of genius, so he could sit firmly on the throne even without attending court for twenty years? ]

[Of course not. The reign of Emperor Jiajing was full of ups and downs. He became the emperor of the Ming Dynasty when he was about fifteen years old. In the following twenty years, he implemented the Jiajing New Deal, returned many imperial farms to the peasants, eased social conflicts, and was relatively popular.]

[However, in the later period of his reign, he became superstitious and did not attend court for several years. He favored the treacherous minister Yan Song, and eventually in the 29th year of Jiajing, he led the Mongolian army to the gates of Beijing and almost destroyed the country. This is known in history as the "Gengxu Incident."]

【Not only that, but during his reign, Japanese pirates burned, killed, and looted in the southern coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty, destroying the prestige of the Ming Dynasty and having a very bad impact.】
[It can be said that from him, the Ming Dynasty went from prosperity to decline and began its journey to national destruction. ]

Yongle Dynasty.
Mongolian troops approaching Beijing?
The country was almost destroyed?

The veins on Emperor Yongle Zhu Di's forehead were slightly bulging, and he slammed his fist heavily on the table.
Since he moved the capital to Beijing, he vowed to guard the country as an emperor. He ordered the crown prince to govern the country and led the army in person several times, repeatedly defeating the remnants of the Mongols. However, he did not expect that none of his descendants could fight.
After so many years, the Mongolian army still reached the gates of Beijing.

Although Tianjuan suddenly appeared in the sky a few days ago, which was quite strange, and what he said might not be credible. But if it was true as Tianjuan said, why did he travel a long distance to strengthen the foundation of the Ming Dynasty?
"hateful!"
The teacup on the table jumped a few times under his heavy blow and then slid to the ground.
