"Zhu Youjian, can you see it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked coldly: "This should be your greatest reliance."

Zhu Youjian nodded, feeling mixed emotions.

"After Lu Xiangsheng's death, Yang Sichang and others were trying to create the name of escape for him. This is the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty. They are certainly wrong, but as the monarch, you will naturally make your ministers suspicious."

"You are also the emperor with imperial power. Unfortunately, you have never implemented anything firmly. Every move of a king will affect the judgment of his ministers. It is also a big blame that the Ming Dynasty has not left a good foundation since Wanli."

"You took over two sects of the court, and you have no foundation, and you have no intention of assisting the country's good ministers. It is inevitable that you will take a wrong approach or make mistakes. If you change anyone, you will not feel good in your position."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Youjian with a slightly gentle expression. Seeing the patch on Zhu Youjian's body, his anger finally disappeared.

This person is really incapable in his later generations, but what kind of world does his father and brother leave him?

If they do something normal, why is the stall so bad?

Compared to the previous few, Zhu Youjian was in charge of the Ming Dynasty and made various efforts to support the Ming Dynasty step by step. Even if this direction is wrong, what should I do?

Who made the Zhu family not have any capable generation in the late Ming Dynasty? Zhu Youjian was ordered to be in danger, but it was a pity that he had no talent to save the world.

But then again, in the late Ming Dynasty, unless another First Emperor came, such an eternal emperor who was unparalleled in political measures, would have the unquestionable ability to clear this mess, and anyone else would have a headache.

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was getting better, Zhu Youjian felt more guilty. He thought that his ancestors could cut him with one sword, and that he wanted to be better and able to revive the Ming Dynasty!

Unfortunately, from the beginning to the end, he was just Zhu Youjian.

He once told his brother that he could not live in this world, but his brother passed away and there was no successor in the Ming Dynasty. If he didn't go, who else could go?

When dealing with himself, Zhu Youjian truly became thrifty and diligent. How many people became emperors and were content to enjoy themselves, and they were eager to live a life of drunkenness and dreams every day, and at least they would give themselves a rich and prosperous life.

But he wore patched clothes in his imperial robe. He started studying at around five o'clock in the morning, went to court, reviewed memorials, and even couldn't fall asleep late at night. He rarely slept for more than 4 hours, resulting in white hair at the age of twenty.

It is conceivable what kind of world he took over.

It can be determined that although Zhu Youjian has no political experience, he is not stupider than normal people.

If the situation is really something that a normal person can solve by thinking about it, he has no reason to solve it well, but when sitting in that position, he faces the overall situation of the country, and he has many factors that need to be comprehensively considered.

In terms of military and external aspects, he was shaking, killing generals, falsely accusing generals, etc., were all tragedies caused by him.

However, a large part of the root cause of this tragedy does come from ministers. Not to mention anything else, just take the civil officials of Zhenguan and foreign races invade the borders. Let’s see if they are the main war or the main peace?

Let the First Emperor come here, let’s see if he has the intention to argue for peace?

If you are not firm and your literary talent is not firm, what is the use of the generals who kill on the battlefield?

After all, the one who can speak in the court and the one who is best at intrigue is the civil servant.

Then there is the problem of officials in the Ming Dynasty. In the face of natural disasters in various places, Zhu Youjian's reaction was quick and decisive. He would allocate grain and disaster relief materials to the disaster area as soon as possible, and he allocated them many times, but he was not stingy.

It’s a pity that the officials left behind by his father and brother were so bad. They deducted them layer by layer, and when they really came to the hands of the people, only rice porridge was left.

In ancient times, such disasters had to start at least one year from rescue to recovery. But how could the people last for a year with rice porridge? Zhu Youjian thought that he had given a lot of them, but the people were still in pain. Why wasn’t this the reason for the ministers?

Jiang Yi felt the sea breeze coming, and when he looked at Chongzhen's appearance, he felt mixed feelings.

Thinking about it now, Emperor Chongzhen's words were indeed correct. The officials of the Ming Dynasty really caused him and the people.

Without firmness, the capable ministers of the great duke, coupled with the corrupt and deceptive Ming bureaucratic system, made it difficult for Emperor Chongzhen to know some real suffering in the local area.

In this way, even if many measures are correct, they will change their flavor when they are implemented. However, when they are reported to the court, they are also pronounced with complete execution but unexpectedly frequent words. What can Chongzhen do?

He could not see it one by one. In the final analysis, he was just a king who had suffered the disaster of his country's destruction. If you want to talk about the fault of his country's destruction, the root cause depends on the previous dynasties.

As the last monarch, he was able to share the joys and sorrows with the people, and could try his best without making any bad things and benefiting the people. This alone is worthy of respect.

As for his political actions, perhaps it was something he had to do in that era.

When it comes to that situation, what else can I do?

His biggest mistake was war and uncertainty, and he made repeated mistakes in military strategy, resulting in one plus and another plus taxes that should have been cut in one or two years!

Otherwise, if those generals could have firm support, Li Zicheng would have stopped food long ago and would not have developed at all.

Generals such as Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, and Lu Xiangsheng could have been able to concentrate on resisting foreign enemies. In this way, the court's three pay can at least remove one pay, allowing the people to breathe.

pity……

Jiang Yi stood beside the cargo ship, looking at the surging waves in front of him.

The river goes east, the waves are gone, and the long river of history is like this sea water, flowing one after another.

How can the water that has flowed to the end return to the source?

"Taizu, junior, I know I'm wrong..."

Zhu Youjian kowtowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and bowed.

"Zhu Youjian, so many generals died for the Ming Dynasty. You are the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Why did you die so frustrated? Why didn't you hold a sword and fight Li Zicheng?"

Zhu Yuanzhang stood with his hands behind his back, and his back looked extremely tall:

"Does the people of the Zhu family lose their power and lose the courage to face the enemy?"

"Old Zhu family?"

Zhu Youjian's eyes lit up, and then he laughed at himself with disconfidence: "My junior, can he still be considered a member of the Zhu family?"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "If you donate heavy taxes to enjoy yourself, you will definitely not deserve it. I will be the first to cut you down!"

"But you, after all, are for the sake of the Ming Dynasty and the people. You are no longer apologizing for this kind of country."

"Men, thank our ancestors for their understanding!"

Zhu Youjian knelt at Zhu Yuanzhang's feet, his head kept raising and falling, and the "dong dong dong" kowtow sounded throughout the coal mountain...
