take a wife to support the family

Chapter 501
On the night of finding his second son, King Xin had a dream.

The first half of the dream is exactly the same as his childhood and youth: Liu Niangniang passed away early, and he couldn't remember her appearance clearly, only remembering a gentle embrace and an ethereal fragrance.

At that time, Emperor Shenzong was in power and favored King Fu. Although his father was the prince, his life was really unsatisfactory.

His eldest brother Yu Xiaoyi's biological mother died early, and his father handed him over to Empress Xi Li to raise him.Li Niangniang has a violent temper and often abuses Youxiao, but Yuxiao has developed a domineering temperament. No matter how Li Niangniang beats her, she refuses to speak out to beg for mercy.

At that time, even the crown prince was not valued in the palace, so what was the eldest grandson of the emperor?You Xiao was wronged, so he sneaked into a fake cave in the East Palace, pinched his Kong Ming lock and gritted his teeth silently.

After going there for many days, I would always bump into other people. For example, that day when he came out of the cave in the rockery, his body was covered in dead leaves and mud. When he returned, he would inevitably be nagged by Ke Shi, but he liked that kind of nagging. Reminds him of his mother.

Before Yu Xiao had gone far, his legs sank suddenly, followed by a burst of yelling.

He frowned, and stared back viciously, only to see a little boy with pink make-up, wearing a bright red robe, hugging his leg, raising his head and smiling at him.

There are many younger brothers and sisters in Youxue, each of whom is not valued by his father just like him-their father has no time to protect himself, how can he take care of these children?

Therefore, Yuxiao didn't know who this little thing was holding him and not letting go at all.

He struggled, and the little thing hugged him very tightly. You Xiao couldn't help feeling impatient, and was about to reach out to push it, when the little thing's nurse and companion hurriedly said, "Big brother, that's your fifth little brother."

The fifth brother, Yujian, is five years younger than him, and like him, he has no mother's child.

Youxiao curled his lips, tore off the fifth brother from his leg in disgust, turned his head and left.

Youjian's little hand hurt a little from being pinched, and tearfully raised his hand to ask the wet nurse to blow it, the wet nurse was very distressed, and said to Wang Cheng'en: "Our fifth brother was born so well, the eldest brother really has the heart!"

According to the school heart, what's the use of being a good student?However, this kid looks very good-looking...

Youjian children don't remember the pain. From then on, every time they saw his elder brother, they would pounce on him to play with him. For a long time, Youjian only regarded him as a big toy. He was wronged. The candy was given to him, and when he was angry, he pinched the fifth brother from time to time, scolding him for being stupid, because he was still young, so he just laughed and laughed.

You Xiao didn't regard this boy as a good brother in his heart, but when You Jian refused to eat, he still brought him a set of small jade spoons from the emperor to coax him to eat well.

At that time, You Xiao looked disgusted: "In the whole palace, you are the most delicate." He never imagined that his little fifth brother would be tortured by fate in the future so that he would not be able to see the slightest trace of delicateness at this time.

The ministers urged and asked four times, but Emperor Shenzong refused to let the crown prince leave the cabinet. Even the eldest grandson of the emperor could only be read by the husband, but he could not communicate with the ministers, let alone the remaining younger brothers.

Youjian grows up day by day, but he loves reading more and more. Youxiao feels that his younger brother is getting less and less fun, and he looks like an old pedant every day. Can a book still be a saint?
You Xiao was happily doing his carpentry work, and urged Wei Daban to find him two more copies of "Building French", and he also read it, but he definitely didn't mean to get into the book to be a pedant, anyway, no one can control it Him, what he loves.

Only the fifth brother always wanted to control him. The boy under ten years old, with eyebrows twisted like an old man, followed behind You Xiao. I don't know if it was because he was running or because he was angry. His cheeks were red, and he said in a serious tone: " Brother, you are the grandson of the emperor, you should..."

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, You Xiao grabbed his younger brother's cheeks with both hands and pulled them out: "I won't let go after that, so why don't you say it?"

With tears in his eyes, You Jian didn't beg for mercy, and looked at his brother calmly.The elder brother finally felt guilty, let go of his hand, and rubbed his face casually, "Does it hurt?"

"My face hurts, how can it be compared to seeing my elder brother neglect his studies?" The child started again...

You Xiao covered his ears and ran away. He was already a young boy, and he was much taller than You Jian. When he really wanted to run, how could You Jian catch up?
In the 48th year of Wanli, Emperor Shenzong died, and Prince Zhu Changluo ascended the throne according to the edict.He had been an unpopular prince for many years, and once he practiced Zuo, he didn't know what to do.

His father and brothers who were on top of him could no longer hold him back, and Zhu Changluke couldn't hold him back, so the first thing he wanted to do was show off his glory on the beauty.Li Kezhuo, an official of Honghe Temple, offered red pills. A few days later, Zhu Changluo died in the Qianqing Palace, and he could only take the throne for a month.

The 15-year-old grandson of the emperor ascended the throne, and changed it to the first year of Taichang after August 48 of Wanli. Zhu Changluo was Emperor Taichang, with the temple name Guangzong, and was buried in Qingling.

As soon as Zhu Youxiao came to the throne, he handed over the power of the palace to the wet nurse Hakka and his companion Wei Zhongxian. He was obsessed with carpentry and ignored the government.In the second year of Apocalypse, the fifth younger brother Yujian was appointed as the king of Xin. In the sixth year of Apocalypse, Zhou was selected as the concubine of Xin and married in the palace.

In June of the sixth year of Apocalypse, there was a big explosion at the Wang Gong factory in the capital, the emperor was frightened, and the prince passed away. The fate was different at this moment.

In King Xin's dream, in November of the sixth year of Tianqi, he and the princess went out of the palace and lived in Prince Xin's mansion.

In July of the seventh year of Apocalypse, the emperor fell into the water and fell ill. Wei Zhongxian presented the "miracle medicine". Soon after, the emperor was swollen and seriously ill.

In August of the seventh year of Apocalypse, the emperor summoned King Xin and ordered him to ascend the throne.King Xin was shocked, wept bitterly, and refused to obey the imperial edict.The queen walked out from behind the screen, and persuaded the king to put the country and the country as the most important thing.

The emperor grabbed King Xin's hand and said, "Come on, my brother will be Yao and Shun."

I know that you have been like a little saint since you were a child, studious and smart.You have advised me many times, but now there is no need to persuade me, you can do it yourself.

You will definitely be a better emperor than me, little fifth brother.

On Yimao Day, August 23, the seventh year of Tianqi, Zhu Youxiao, Emperor of Tianqi, died in Qianqing Palace at the age of [-].

His fifth younger brother, Zhu Youjian, ascended the throne in accordance with the imperial edict. His posthumous posthumous title was given to him by the temple name Xizong, and his elder brother was buried in Deling.The following year, Zhu Youjian reformed Yuan Chongzhen.

The admirable is lofty, and the auspicious is auspicious. He should revive the glory of Ming Dynasty.

However, from the imperial court to the common people, the Ming Dynasty has long been corrupted beyond redemption.Officials would rather flatter Wei Zhongxian Xiusheng Temple than do a little practical work for the common people.Everything he racked his brains to do was distorted into a heavy burden on the people as soon as he left the Forbidden City.

He had grown up before he was 30 years old, and the serious and energetic young man who used to follow behind his eldest brother was left with deep exhaustion.

Yuan Chonghuan boasted that he had pacified the Liao Dynasty for three years, but the Houjin army went straight to the city of Beijing to show off its might.Zhu Youjian wanted to be an emperor like Yao and Shun, but his most trusted courtiers trampled him into the dirt with sincerity.

He became sensitive and suspicious, and had no choice but to fight with the minister himself, but he was brought up as a prince, and his temperament was pure and simple, so how could he beat those old foxes?
Finally, on March 17, [-]th year of Chongzhen, the Chuang army besieged the capital.

Tomorrow, this heavy burden has finally come to an end, he thought to himself, brother, I still failed your expectations.

Now that Chongzhen had decided to die for the country, he summoned the prince and the other three sons, personally dressed them in folk clothes, and hurriedly taught them how to deal with people.

When he was in Xindi that day, he used to wear white dragon fish clothes and went out among the people, but now he can only tell the prince: "When you see an elder, you should call him old man; when you see a rich man, you should call him son..."

How worried he was about his sons, but he still had to ruthlessly push them into the eunuch's arms, ordering the eunuch to guard them and flee.

He also forced his wife, Empress Zhou, and his wife Yi'an, Empress Zhang, to commit suicide. The shame of Jingkang still exists yesterday. He knows exactly what happened to the concubines and princesses of the Song Dynasty.

Afterwards, he killed his own daughter with his own hands, boarded Meishan Mountain, looked at the splendid Forbidden City, and threw himself into the trap.

He wrote in blood on the front of his shirt: "I am scornful of virtue, and I am responsible for the blame, but all the ministers misunderstood me. I will die without face to see my ancestors, and I will remove the crown to cover my face. Let the thieves split my corpse, and no one will be hurt. .”

It's hard to get over it, I can't get over it.

But this is not the end, King Xin is still stuck in a dream and cannot wake up, he just watched the intruders enter the capital, burn, kill and loot, turning the feet of the emperor into a hell on earth
He saw that the prince was betrayed by his relatives and dedicated to Li Zicheng.On that day, his compassionate and graceful appearance, slender and fair, looked like a fairy.

The intruder asked Cihong: "Why did your family lose the world?"

Cilang said: "How do I know! All officials should know it."

Afterwards, Li Zicheng was defeated, and Cihong disappeared among the rebellious army.

He saw his sons die one by one, the country changed hands, the map was changed, the Qing soldiers entered Yangzhou and Jiading three massacres on the tenth day, his country, his people...

The pain and despair of the soul caused King Xin to wake up from his dream. Tears welled up from his eyes. He couldn't breathe, and he just wanted to use himself to bear their suffering.

Too bitter, this dream is too bitter!

King Xin even suspects that that is the truth, but now the country is prosperous and the people are peaceful, the world is peaceful, and his children and grandchildren are around his knees, but it is just a fantasy dream.

King Xin wept bitterly, and Princess Zhou looked at each other in amazement, unable to comfort her.

Early the next morning, King Xin entered the palace in a hurry. He had to ask his elder brother why he had such a painful dream.

The emperor looked at Xinwang, his eyes passed through him, as if falling on another person in the void.

That person, the young man ascended the throne, propping up the dilapidated ship of Daming, so that his vitality and blood weakened, and his hair grew prematurely.

As the emperor, Zhu Youxiao thought to himself that Chongzhen had tried his best to do his best, and he failed because Daming was exhausted.If someone else was in his position, he couldn't do better.

"It's all right, you've done a good job," he said to the tortured soul.

He said to his little fifth brother, "Don't be afraid, everything is fine for us now."

Don't be afraid, Daming will not die, you and I will not die, Cihong, Changping, Zhaoren are still alive.The Qing soldiers never entered the customs, the massacre did not happen, and Li Zicheng was still growing sweet potatoes in Shaanxi.

Don't be afraid, this is not your dream, it is your reality.

Don't be afraid, everything in the dream will never happen from the moment I wake up in the sixth year of the apocalypse.

For some reason, King Xin, who even had a grandson, wept like a child.
