Chapter 2 My younger brother should be Yao and Shun

The officials of the seventh year of the Age of Revelation are not trustworthy, so don’t listen to their nonsense.” With the relief of my younger brother growing up, Emperor Tianqi forced himself to be energetic and reminded him word by word.

When Zhu Youxiao heard what Zhu Youxiao said, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but feel embarrassed and felt ashamed. He admired Zhu Youxiao even more.

It is true that in history, Zhu Youjian was the king of the country that destroyed, but in his evaluation in history books, Zhu Youjian was still above his brother Emperor Tianqi.

However, although he favored Wei Zhongxian and was falsely accused of doing his job in history books, although he also faced internal and external troubles, he always controlled the overall situation and did not allow the shaky Ming Dynasty to slide into a deeper abyss.

On the other hand, Zhu Youjian, who received good reviews in history books, worked hard and worked hard all the way to Hongwu. Since ascending the throne, he has been crowing every day, unable to sleep at night, and has become ill due to hard work and thrifty family. He never had any banquets in the palace, but he did too many things and went in the opposite direction, which led to losing the Ming Dynasty and becoming a king who lost his country.

The reason for this result was that Zhu Youjian never took the heart of Emperor Tianqi's words "Civil officials are not trustworthy" and mistakenly believed the civil officials.

When Li Zicheng captured the capital, the civil servants rushed to eat pots of juice to welcome the king's army. Then Zhu Youjian was so sad that he lamented that "every civil minister can be killed." Oh, what a painful understanding!

"I know, I know!"

Unlike the historical "hehe" reaction, Zhu Youjian was particularly sincere when he said this.

Emperor Tianqi was very happy to respond to his younger brother, and then reminded him: "Zhongxian..., be honest and loyal, and can be considered a major event."

Zhu Youjian hesitated a little, but nodded and said, "Yes, the emperor."

Emperor Tianqi was not very satisfied, but he also understood the principle of the emperor and his ministers. After his death, his younger brother might not allow Wei Zhongxian to die well, but he no longer cared about so much.

Just as Zhu Youjian was in tears and half true and half falsely, he suddenly felt a hand touching his head, and raised his head slightly. In his tears, he saw Emperor Tianqi with a smile on his face, as if he had suddenly recovered his vitality, pulling King Xin: "Come on——, my brother should be Yao and Shun.

Hearing this sentence, a memory emerged in Zhu Youjian's mind. At that time, Emperor Tianqi had just ascended the throne, and Zhu Youjian was still in his old age. Looking at his brother wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, he suddenly asked enviously, "Can I do this official?"

When Emperor Tianqi heard this rebellious remark, he was not angry, but instead touched Zhu Youjian's little head with a doting look on his face and said, "I will do it with you when I have been doing it for a few years."

Unexpectedly, the prophecy came true at this time, and it was really a fate that made people beat me.

Can't tell whether it's fear or gratitude, Zhu Youjian suddenly silenced: "I'm guilty of death."

...

Returning to the palace of King Xin, he comforted Princess Xin, Concubine Tian, ​​Concubine Yuan, and Zhu Youjian, who were worried about his entry into the palace, waved his left and right, sat alone in the bed, and was filled with mixed feelings.

Zhu Youjian knew that since Emperor Tianqi fell into the water in the West Garden two years ago, his body had declined day by day. Even though he was only twenty-two years old, his body had already reached the point where he was unable to return and could not cure medicine.

What Emperor Tianqi said today is not only the entrusted dedication of Tianqi to him by his death, but also the first signal to the court that he would be in his younger brother after his death.

In history, after Emperor Tianqi said to Zhu Youjian that "My brother should be Yao and Shun", he was able to return to the west on the 21st of that month. Zhu Youjian ascended to Dabao on the 24th and became emperor on the 24th.

Looking at the throne before and after Chongzhen ascended the throne, it was a natural outcome and an inevitable process of historical development. It is not as described in films and TV series such as "The Embroidered Spring Sword", Zhu Youjian, who was only seventeen years old, needed to be a big conspirator and make trouble.

The principle of inheriting the throne in the Ming Empire is very simple: the father dies and the son succeeds, and the legitimate is established as a legitimate, and no legitimate is established as a eldest, and the emperor has no descendants, and the brother is born as a younger brother.

When Emperor Tianqi had no descendants, according to the law, Zhu Youjian, the only brother of Emperor Tianqi, was an inevitable choice for the Ming Empire. Zhu Youjian did not have to jump up and down like other time travelers. He just needed to calm him down, and the throne would inevitably fall into his hands.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youjian's surging mood gradually calmed down. He understood that with the death of the Heavenly Qi Emperor on ten days to be gone, his current top priority was to obtain the throne smoothly.

However, in a strategic manner, it does not mean that nothing needs to be done in the more than ten days before ascending the throne. Zhu Youjian, who has been living in modern society for decades, deeply understands that anyone who accomplishes great things must have a mature, efficient, stable and loyal team around him to conquer the country and pacify the world.

In order to establish a team, Zhu Youjian, who came from later generations, naturally would not repeat the same mistakes and blindly trusted the invincible civil servants.

Compared with the civil servants who talked about the country in a pure manner, the eunuchs with a lot of bad record in history books are more trustworthy. When Li Chuang entered Beijing, civil servants who were highly trusted by Chongzhen rushed to welcome the king's army. The eunuchs who died the most were always despised, which was so ironic.

Especially Wang Chengen, the eunuch who accompanied Zhu Youjian to hang the southeast branch, was ordered to supervise the capital inside and outside, and was the leader of the Beijing Military Region in modern times. When Li Chuangjun set up a flight ladder to attack the west of Beijing City, Pingze and Desheng Sanmen, Wang Chengen personally launched a cannon attack, killing several people in a row, which shocked us and our enemies.

"It seems that my first team fell on the eunuchs in the secret residence of Prince Xin's mansion."

Thinking of this, Zhu Youjian no longer hesitated and shouted loudly outside the door: "Wang Chengen, come in and see the orphan!"
