The courtiers were stunned for a long time. When they came back to their senses, they found that King Qi, the emperor, and the prince had disappeared without a trace, and they did not know when they left.
"What, what does this mean?"
All the ministers looked at each other, a little at a loss. Those who turned to King Qi were at a loss because the happiness came too suddenly. Those who turned to the prince were at a loss because the bad news came too suddenly.
Only Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Household Affairs, raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
No one pays attention to Xia Yuanji, because now Mr. Xia is a lonely official, and no matter who gains power, Xia Yuanji will not benefit.
But only King Qi and Xia Yuanji knew that from the moment the princelings collapsed, King Qi ascended to the sky and took control of the court, and Xia Yuanji would also ascend to the sky. Although he did not have the name of Prime Minister, he had the power of Prime Minister.
Xia Yuanji had already reached a deal with King Qi.
…
When Zhu Di announced his resignation from the court, Zhu Gaojie took advantage of the stunned ministers and left.
Staying would be nothing more than being surrounded and praised by courtiers. However, Zhu Gaojie has long passed the age of vanity. What he cares about is not the vanity that cannot be seen or touched but can only make him feel happy, but the real benefits.
The ministers who have interests in Prince Qi's Mansion have all entered the core layer of Prince Qi's Mansion, and the remaining people are just followers who will follow whoever becomes more powerful. There is absolutely no need to win over such people.
When you are strong, these people will lick their faces and come to you. No matter how disgusted you are, they will join your party and work for you at all costs. But as soon as you are at a disadvantage, these people will abandon you.
And go, no matter how friendly you were to them before, they will not stay longer.
This is actually a very straightforward truth: "If you are poor in the busy city, no one cares about you, but if you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives." As Lao Guo said, the poor are playing with ten steel hooks on the cross streets, but they cannot hook their relatives and friends, but the rich are in the mountains.
Lao Lin, he couldn't beat away the unintentional guests and friends with his wooden stick.
As long as Zhu Gaojie remains strong, these people will always kneel in front of him, as humble as a loyal old dog.
Zhu Di returned to the Qianqing Palace and chose to continue simulating the national destiny.
This simulation of the national destiny is actually extremely skewed by now.
What he simulated was not the simulation of current history, but the simulation of Zhu Gaochi after he became emperor. But now that Zhu Gaochi has been deposed, how can he pass on the throne?
Therefore, in order to balance this situation, the system is equivalent to truncating it from the beginning. The choice is based on "King Qi did nothing and became a vassal in an ordinary way. Zhu Di did nothing and Zhu Gaochi became an ordinary person."
The situation of "Prince" is simulated.
In other words, during this simulation, there were no incidents such as "blood splattered on Fengtian Palace" or "King Qi turned the barbarians into Han".
But this did not affect Zhu Di from continuing the simulation at all. He was also curious about what would happen if he did not pass the throne to King Qi, but passed the throne to the prince.
After simulating the Hongxi, Xuande, Zhengtong, Jingtai, Tianshun, Chenghua, Hongzhi, Zhengde, Jiajing, Longqing, Wanli, Taichang, twelve dynasties and eleven emperors, Zhu Di was not only disappointed, but also disappointed.
It was as if it was destined that Ming's journey would be bumpy.
A series of events such as the Tumubao Incident, Seizing the Gate Incident, Zhengde's death, Jiajing's Southern Expedition, Wanli's resurgence and decline, etc., made Zhu Di more determined to pass on the throne to King Qi.
Just kidding, no matter how good King Qi's children and grandchildren are, they can control the southwest for hundreds of years and have good weather, and they can be invincible in the world if they take any action. But your Zhu Gaochi's children and grandchildren... are nothing but weird.
When Zhu Di simulated Zhu Youxiao, the son of Emperor Taichang, he felt that nothing could shake his heart.
[On November 14, the thirty-third year of Wanli, you were born. Your father is the crown prince Zhu Changluo, and your mother is Wang. She is your father's chosen servant. The cabinet ministers thought of four names for you, namely You Ben,
Youxiao, Guo, Ge, and finally, your grandfather, Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun, chose the name "Youxiao".]
[Your biological mother, Mrs. Wang, was not favored. A few years after giving birth to you, she was killed by Xili, who was favored. ]
[Your father has two servants named Li. To distinguish them, they are called East Li and West Li.]
[When your mother was still breathing, she grabbed your arm tightly, her eyes full of hatred: "Xili and I are irreconcilable, and it's hard to live up to our hatred. You have to avenge my mother..."]
[You didn’t answer. The hatred of killing one’s mother is irreconcilable, but what do you use to take revenge? 】
[In the end, your mother died with hatred, and the person responsible for raising you was Xili who killed your mother.]
[Zhu Youxiao, you can't do anything, you can only accept it weakly. 】
[Adopted by your slain mother's enemy, your life is really hard. If Xi Li stumbles over a pebble, he will curse "Damn Zhu Youxiao" and then beat you. You have suffered an unreasonable disaster, but you can't do anything.
To resist, I can only cry silently alone in the middle of the night.】
[This situation continued until not long after your father succeeded to the throne. The Taichang Emperor Zhu Changluo possessed the essence of the Jiajing Emperor and took drugs and killed himself. No, he took the golden elixir and became an immortal. 】
[Whether your father died of taking drugs or became an immortal and ascended, as the eldest son of the emperor, you should be the first heir to the Ming Empire. ]
Zhu Di was puzzled, why did the descendants of Zhu Gaochi, before becoming emperor, have more bizarre lives than the last, but in short, they were all normal?
The two emperors of Chenghua were crown princes, Emperor Hongzhi was treated like a dog in the harem when he was young, Emperor Zhengde’s only son was raised Piao, Emperor Jiajing was born as a vassal, Emperor Longqing had not seen his biological father for more than ten years, Emperor Wanli was raised by Zhang Juzheng
During the rebellious period that lasted for decades, Emperor Taichang narrowly escaped death in the midst of the struggle over the country...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Then when we arrived at Zhu Youxiao, his background was too miserable to describe in words.
Zhu Di seriously suspected that the reason why all the emperors after Zhu Gaochi were weird had a lot to do with their weird experiences when they were young. How upright could an emperor be with such a crooked childhood?
[After the death of your father Zhu Changluo, and at this juncture before you ascended the throne, Xi Li, who raised you, had an idea. 】
[After Emperor Taichang ascended to heaven, the first thing Xili Qian did was to hold you hostage in the Qianqing Palace. You were not allowed to have contact with others, and you were not allowed to be picked up by the ministers.]
[Xili’s idea is very simple. If the ministers want you to succeed as the emperor, they must first let her become the empress dowager. Don’t you agree? It doesn’t matter. Although I am a woman, I have the heart of Prime Minister Cao. Order the princes!]
[After the ministers heard that the emperor they were planning to support was kidnapped, they were all shocked. Although they were ready to oust you, it doesn't matter who becomes the emperor. The main thing is that there must be such a person, but now he is gone! 】
[The civil servants who once overwhelmed Emperor Wanli were actually fooled by a woman, and they were embarrassed to grandma's house! As for Xili's desire for the empress dowager... fuck him, I want to eat shit. Woolen cloth!】
[The ministers headed by Donglin Party Yang Lian racked their brains to fight with Xi Li. Yang Lian led the ministers into the Qianqing Palace and expressed to Xi Li that he wanted to see Zhu You, the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The school said, "I'll just take a look and won't steal it."]
[In order to appease the minister, Xili agreed to this request. Unexpectedly, as soon as he saw you, Yang Lian jumped on you like a hungry tiger and snatched you away from Xili's hand. ]
[Everyone in Xili was dumbfounded: Didn’t we just take a look as promised? Where is my Zhu Youxiao? 】
[In the end, this struggle ended with Xi Li's defeat. Yang Lian and others of the Donglin Party finally took back the emperor after going through untold hardships. 】
[The three great leaders of the Ming Palace came to an end here, and the Donglin Party won a complete victory.]
[As for Yang Lian of the Donglin Party, he devoted all his efforts to this struggle. In just over ten days, his hair was already gray. 】
[You finally ascended the throne, the reign name is "Apocalypse"]
[You are the Ming Dynasty’s Emperor Tianqi, Zhu Youxiao!]
If there was such a thing as cigarettes in the Ming Dynasty, then Zhu Di would be holding a cigarette in one hand and holding his forehead in the other, sitting on the dragon chair and meditating.
It’s so outrageous!
Zhu Di was thinking before that nothing could surprise him, but now that he thought about it, it was still a mistake.
[To be honest, I have been using the Huanyuan app recently to read and catch up on new books. It allows me to switch between sources and read aloud with many sounds. .huanyuanapp is available for Android and Apple.]
How come such things as holding the emperor hostage to order the princes were even performed in the Ming Dynasty?
