Daming: Spoilers about the future, Zhu Yuanzhang collapsed Chapter 36 You can say whatever you want about Chongzhen, but you can’t say that he was not diligent!
Chapter 36 You can say whatever you want about Chongzhen, but you can’t say that he was not diligent!
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Han Cheng and asked his question again.
He felt that he would not make any mistakes again this time.
Zhu Yuanzhang knew a lot about history.
In particular, we know a lot about the history of famous dynasties in history and when they were about to fall.
Generally speaking, no matter which dynasty is about to fall, most of them will have a young emperor.
For example, when Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, the emperor he appointed was only nine years old.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, after Liu Hong's death, his two sons were both young.
When the eldest son inherited the throne, he was only eleven or twelve years old.
When Dong Zhuo came to Beijing, he deposed Liu Bian and established a younger emperor, less than ten years old, Liu Xie, the Emperor of Han Dynasty.
Another example is Song Taizu, who was also orphaned and widowed in the Northern Zhou Dynasty when he was wearing a yellow robe.
For another example, after Yuan Tarzi was defeated by him, only the young emperor remained.
There is no way to control the state power.
In addition, the current situation is turbulent, and there are treacherous officials in the court who are causing trouble.
This resulted in a chaotic situation.
He felt that when his Ming Dynasty died, there must have been a situation of incessant decline.
When the adult emperor dies, the younger emperor succeeds to the throne.
The emperor was young, and his authority was controlled by rebellious ministers and traitors.
Generally speaking, as long as the emperor is an adult and has no mental problems, the country will basically not be destroyed.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he had his bloodline and a series of rules and regulations that had been formulated.
Even if his descendants of the Ming Dynasty fail to live up to expectations, as long as an adult emperor sits on this throne, the Ming Dynasty will not be destroyed!
However, Han Cheng shook his head again.
"Your Majesty, that's not the case. The emperor was already seventeen years old when he succeeded to the throne.
You can be considered an adult."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment. If he is seventeen, he is indeed not too young.
Then why did the Ming Dynasty still fall into his hands?
"Could it be that this unworthy descendant is a fool, and those people deliberately supported a fool to rise to power?"
Han Cheng shook his head again.
"Not stupid."
"Then...could it be that by the time this person succeeded to the throne, my Ming Dynasty was hopeless?
Hasn’t it been too long since he became emperor that the Ming Dynasty will fall?”
Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment and looked at Han Cheng to say this.
He felt that this should be the correct answer.
When the emperor inherited the throne, he was neither too young nor a fool.
If the Ming Dynasty could still die in his hands, it must be that when he inherited the throne, the Ming Dynasty had already become a mess and was hopeless.
He inherited the throne not long ago, and the Ming Dynasty perished, leaving him no time to save the Ming Dynasty.
However, to his surprise, Han Cheng shook his head again.
"Your Majesty, that's not the case. When Emperor Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, although the Ming Dynasty was already in a mess, it was not hopeless.
At least if he operates properly, it will not be a problem to continue the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty for several decades.
Moreover, he was not a short-lived emperor who only ascended the throne and the Ming Dynasty died.
But after becoming emperor, it took a full seventeen or eight years for the Ming Dynasty to be considered destroyed.
However, if we really talk about it, your Ming Dynasty did not die there, after all, a small court appeared later.
But this no longer makes sense.
Because the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty has been replaced.
In many people's minds, the Ming Dynasty died at this time.
"Then...but this emperor is very lazy? He doesn't go to court at all, he plays licentiously, drinks in wine and meat, and is extravagant. Is he an immoral and licentious emperor?"
When he asked this question, Zhu Yuanzhang's hands unconsciously clenched into fists.
There is a feeling of hair and beard growing out.
When he asked this question, he had already confirmed in his heart that what he said was definitely the final answer!
Otherwise, the Ming Dynasty will never die in the hands of this person!
Zhu Yuanzhang was an extremely diligent emperor, and he was also an emperor who always wanted to strengthen the imperial power. He was particularly angry that among his descendants, there would be such people who were dissolute, drunk and meaty, and extremely lazy in government.
Zhu Yuanzhang was furious when he thought that among his descendants, such a person appeared, became emperor, and destroyed his Ming Dynasty.
I want to catch this unscrupulous descendant and give him a good beating.
Beat him to death with a whip!
I was so wise, so diligent, and so frugal, how could I end up with such unfilial descendants?!
Not only Zhu Yuanzhang was agitated and wanted to beat this descendant hundreds of years later to death, but Zhu Biao next to him was also the same.
He also wanted to beat him to death for being an unworthy descendant.
He is the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, so the throne of the Ming Dynasty will definitely pass to him in the future.
That unworthy descendant, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, is definitely his descendant.
Moreover, compared with his father Zhu Yuanzhang, this unworthy descendant is a generation closer to him.
The relationship with him should be closer.
He has every reason to be angry
After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Han Cheng said: "Well... Your Majesty, please don't get excited. This matter is different from what you think.
As for Emperor Chongzhen, you can say whatever you want about him.
But you absolutely cannot say that he is not diligent, you cannot say that he is dissolute, and you cannot say that he is extravagant.
He is not extravagant at all, and his personal life is extremely simple.
Not only him, but also his queen, prince, and concubines are also extremely frugal.
It can't be said to be debauchery. There are only eight or nine of his concubines, including the queen.
Compared with other emperors, it can be said that there are very few!
Moreover, he was extremely diligent and vowed to make Ming Dynasty a better place.
Among the many emperors of the Ming Dynasty, his diligence was among the best.
In my opinion, it can rank third!”
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned after hearing Han Cheng's words.
Zhu Biao beside him also looked incredulous.
I always feel like this is a bit outrageous.
When a country falls, generally speaking, it is the young emperor who dominates the country.
But it turned out that his descendant was not a fool, nor was he young when he ascended the throne.
It does not mean that the country will perish after becoming emperor.
Reigned for seventeen years!
At that time, he was already over thirty years old.
Seventeen years is not a short time, and it is enough time to accomplish a lot of things.
No matter how decadent or miserable the country is, it can still be improved to some extent.
Even if it cannot be improved, it can be allowed to continue.
But why did he die?
What's even more outrageous is that he is not a debauched and immoral king, his life is not extravagant, and he is also very diligent.
How could this... how could the Ming Dynasty be destroyed?
This kind of thing seemed very unreasonable to both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao.
According to their ability, they cannot understand what kind of operation this is.
It's like the king can't understand that bronze is the same thing.
"Tell us, what's going on?
Then what kind of emperor..."
"Emperor Chongzhen."
"Yes, tell us, what did Chongzhen do after he came to power?!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was not prepared to continue guessing, and directly asked Han Cheng what happened to Chongzhen.
Judging from the information he received, Chongzhen didn't look like a king who had subjugated his country.
