Ming Dynasty: Tanks blocked the door and you said to me, "Long live Ming Dynasty"

Author: Persimmons are poisonous

Introduction:

1627, April 8.

The Ming Dynasty welcomed its last emperor.

Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian stood on the steps of Jianji Hall and accepted the worship of all officials.

Just when the coronation ceremony was reaching its final stage, the late emperor Zhu Youxiao suddenly appeared at the door of the hall.

"Chongzhen, please don't ascend the throne yet. Let me fake a corpse first!"

A firearms engineer comes to the Ming Dynasty with the memories of his past life. What kind of changes will he bring to this crumbling building?

Chapter 1: Resurrection? Where is Wei Zhongxian?

"boom!"

The sky was clear without a single cloud in sight, when suddenly a loud thunderclap was heard in the sky above Beijing.

A person suddenly sat up in the coffin in the Huangji Hall.

Zhu Youxiao opened his eyes and looked at everything around him in amazement.

This is where?

Why am I in a coffin?

This seemed to be a palace. There were several guards standing at the door, looking up at the sky and talking.

He subconsciously shouted to the guards.

"Hey, you guys, what is this place!"

The guards, who were discussing why there was thunder in a clear day, suddenly stiffened and slowly turned around. When they saw Zhu Youxiao, they were so scared that they collapsed to the ground.

"Oh my god, he's pretending to be dead!"

"Help..."

"Quick, go to Fahua Temple and invite the monk here!"

"........"

Zhu Youxiao was stunned. Weren’t these people’s reactions a bit exaggerated?

It doesn't look like acting at all!

He stood up from the coffin and found that he was no longer wearing a fitted work suit, but a loose bright yellow dragon robe.

He supported himself on the edge of the coffin with one hand, jumped out, walked straight to the door, grabbed one of the guards by the collar and shouted again.

"where is this place!"

The guard was almost frightened to death, and replied tremblingly: "Your Majesty, this is the Royal Palace!"

Huangji Palace?

He called me His Majesty?

Looking closely at the clothes worn by these guards, there are obvious characteristics of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youxiao felt it was outrageous. Could it be that he had traveled through time?

"What year is it now?"

The guard did not dare to hesitate for a moment and quickly replied, "Your Majesty, it is now the 24th day of the eighth month of the seventh year of Tianqi!"

August 24th, the seventh year of Tianqi!

Zhu Youxiao repeated this time point in his mind, feeling as if he had seen it somewhere before.

August twenty-fourth!

The Ming Dynasty Emperor Tianqi passed away and Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne today!

The reason why he remembered this time was because he and Tianqi had the same name, Zhu Youxiao!

He quickly asked again: "Prince Xin ascended the throne?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... No, Prince Xin should be at the Jianji Ceremony accepting the worship of all officials!"

The guard changed his words halfway through his sentence.

His answer confirmed Zhu Youxiao's guess.

I am now the dead Emperor Tianqi!

He came back to life by borrowing another corpse, so these guards thought he was resurrected!

When he thought of the historical records about the end of the Ming Dynasty, he had an idea:

Zhu Youjian must never be allowed to sit on the throne!

This stubborn, fickle and suspicious guy will send the Ming Dynasty to the guillotine!

Those three hundred years of dark Chinese history are not only a shame for the Zhu family, but also a shame for the entire Chinese nation!

He asked the guard for the third time: "Where is Wei Zhongxian?"

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Wei is also in Jianji Palace."

"Lead the way to Jianji Palace!"

........

In the Jianji Hall, the ceremony had reached the final step, with the announcement of the enthronement edict.

Zhu Youjian stood on the imperial steps holding the imperial edict, facing the civil and military officials below, and heaved a sigh of relief.

"The great saints of our country have inherited the blazing fire, made the customs prosperous and beautiful, and brought prosperity to the country..."

The lengthy imperial edict was read out from his mouth under the gaze of all the officials, and in a blink of an eye, he reached the final point.

"The civil and military officials, the military and civilian elders all spoke in unison to persuade him to ascend the throne. After repeated attempts, he refused but failed. So he followed the will and announced to heaven and earth on August 24 that he would become emperor..."

"Wait!"

Before he uttered the last word "位", a voice suddenly interrupted Zhu Youjian.

All the ministers and officials turned their heads in astonishment and looked towards the entrance of the hall, only to see a familiar figure standing there.

big brother?

Isn’t he lying in the coffin in the Huangji Palace?

Zhu Youjian also saw Zhu Youxiao standing at the door, and his expression instantly became extremely wonderful.

For the sake of the throne, he has lived in fear since Zhu Youxiao's death, fearing that he would be killed before the ceremony. For this reason, he even dared not drink a sip of cold water in the palace!

After struggling for so long, the ceremony is almost over, and this dead elder brother actually...

At this time, Zhu Youjie, who was standing at the door, coughed twice and waved to Zhu Youjian.

"Ahem, brother, don't be in such a hurry to take the throne. Allow me to fake a corpse first!"

Everyone was confused by his words.

First......

Fraudulent corpse???

There is only one exception!

That’s Wei Zhongxian!

He pushed away the official who was blocking his way, rushed over, crawling, and fell to his knees with a plop. Two lines of turbid tears flowed from the corners of his eyes. He looked up at Zhu Youxiao with surprise and joy, and said with sobs.

"Your Majesty! Is that you, Your Majesty?"

"You, you, you are alive again?"

"I deserve to die! I should have stayed by your side..."

After he finished speaking, he slapped himself hard several times. His wrinkled old face instantly became puffy and smooth like that of a young girl.

Without even asking, Zhu Youxiao guessed Wei Zhongxian's identity.

In this entire Ming Dynasty, this guy is probably the only one who hopes he can live forever!

Only if he is alive can he be at peace!

"Get up and talk."

Zhu Youxiao reached out and pulled Wei Zhongxian up from the ground, then looked at Zhu Youjian and smiled.

"Royal brother, are you all right?"

When Zhu Youjian heard this, he felt mixed emotions.

To be honest, he really wanted to be emperor!

Want it so so much!

When he was young, he once climbed onto the dragon throne and said to Zhu Youxiao, who was then the crown prince, "I want to sit on this chair, too."

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said to him, "Don't worry, wait for me to sit for a few years, and then I will give it to you."

Who would have thought that these words would come true!

only.........

Your butt hasn't even warmed up yet and you're already crawling out of the coffin?

"He's a fake corpse......"

"Mom, help me..."

"Don't push, I found this corner first!"

"Gah..."

"........."

It was not until this time that the civil and military officials in the hall reacted. A bunch of cowards tried their best to run to the back hall. What was even more exaggerated was that an old man with white hair and beard actually fainted on the spot!

Only some of the generals were able to keep themselves calm, but their trembling hands and feet still betrayed their inner feelings.

Zhu Youxiao ignored these embarrassing guys, stepped over the threshold and walked towards Zhu Youjian on the imperial steps.

Seeing this, Wei Zhongxian immediately rushed forward and slapped the officials who blocked the way to the ground one by one.

Before, he was worried that he would be purged after Zhu Youjian came to power, so he kept a low profile. But now, his master is alive again.

Damn it, who’s afraid of who!

Zhu Youxiao was even more pleased to see his behavior of taking advantage of the power of others. Although he had traveled through time and space to become Zhu Youxiao, a man with the same name and surname, he could not intimidate these officials without Wei Zhongxian!

Just like that, with the sound of slaps and crisp music playing all the way, Zhu Youxiao stepped onto the imperial steps and came to Zhu Youjian's side.

Seeing that this guy was still standing there in a daze with a look of disbelief, Zhu Youxiao pointed at the dragon throne and said.

"Royal brother, how about you sit for a while?"

Chapter 2 How great a blessing is this?

Zhu Youjian, the fifth in command, suddenly came to his senses upon hearing this and looked carefully at his eldest brother in front of him.

There's no mistake about that expression!

"Brother, are you really alive?"

He stretched out his hand excitedly, wanting to touch Zhu Youxiao's face, but halfway through, he retracted his hand. There was a difference between the emperor and his subjects, and this was ultimately an act that violated the rules.

Seeing that Zhu Youxiao just looked at him with a smile without saying a word, Zhu Youjian, who was a suspicious person, immediately began to have wild thoughts.

Did the emperor's brother really die or was he faking his death?

If he was really dead, how did he survive?
