I picked up the History of the Ming Dynasty from the table and opened the first chapter to see the portrait and evaluation of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty.
Well, it’s nothing. After all, they have recorded it, but they just embellished it a bit.
But after reading one after another, Chongzhen was no longer calm.
Because he saw himself.
Zhu Youjian (Ming Sizong, Emperor Chongzhen, February 6, 1611 - April 25, 1644), courtesy name Deyue, was the fifth son of Zhu Changluo, Emperor Guangzong of the Ming Dynasty. His mother was Empress Xiaochun Liu.
The last emperor of the unified regime.
After Zhu Youjian succeeded to the throne, he vigorously eradicated eunuchs, was diligent in political affairs, lived frugally, and issued six edicts for sins against himself. He was a young and promising emperor.
During his reign, a peasant uprising broke out, and the Houjin regime outside the country was eyeing him. He was already in a situation of internal and external troubles.
In 1644, when Li Zicheng's army conquered Beijing, he hanged himself in Meishan at the age of 33. He was posthumously named "Emperor Mao Xiaolie" and was buried in the Siling Tombs of the Ming Tombs.
"Meishan hanged himself at the age of 33. He was posthumously named "Emperor Mao Xiaolie" and was buried in Siling of the Ming Tombs."
The pupils dilated and contracted instantly. This was actually the complete history of the Ming Dynasty, and he was actually the last official emperor???
He was also the most cowardly emperor. Not only was he led by the Donglin Party, but his country was also destroyed in the end.
The most important thing is that he hanged himself and killed everyone in his harem before he died.
The eldest daughter also had one arm chopped off, passed out, and died in depression.
"This...is this really the history of my Ming Dynasty?"
Chongzhen didn't want to believe it, but he had to believe it, because it was conclusive, and most importantly, part of the history of the Later Jin Dynasty was also included.
There are also reasons for his subjugation, the Donglin Party's exclusion of dissidents, his own stubbornness and suspicion, and the natural and man-made disasters in recent years, including Li Zicheng's uprising, Wu Sangui's betrayal, and other reasons.
"I see, the Little Ice Age, is this the origin of natural disasters? Sure enough, I am no longer guilty, and I am no longer guilty!!!"
"The Donglin Party, rebels, Hou Jin, natural disasters, plagues, etc., I have encountered so many situations that I am powerless to save myself."
"Wait, why do you have this?"
Chongzhen finally thought of the most doubtful point, but saw the two flying people behind Xia Xueyi, and the huge dragon.
The doubts in my heart disappeared little by little, replaced by a burst of bitterness. Sure enough, my ability still disappointed God.
Did the emperor send an envoy to take over?
"Don't worry about why I have this. There is only one question now. I want to marry your daughter and inherit your throne. Are you willing?"
When Xia Xueyi revealed her plan, Zhang Zhiwei and others were all shocked.
They thought that Xia Xueyi would kill Chongzhen and become emperor himself, or force Chongzhen to abdicate.
After all, Xia Xueyi now has such strength, but they never expected that Xia Xueyi would make such a cool move.
"Why?" Chongzhen asked after thinking for a while with a weird look on his face.
After all, Chongzhen couldn't see what benefit this would bring to Xia Xueyi. Could it be that this guy was lustful?
If this is the case, then the maneuverability will be much greater. After all, there are still many beauties in the palace.
"Don't think too much, of course I have my reasons for doing this.
I personally don't have much interest in becoming an emperor.
But your ability to be an emperor is so bad that I can't stand it anymore.
Of course, no matter what, I can be considered a son and daughter of China, and I don’t want to see the future history become true.
The rule of Hou Jin was so terrible that it simply broke the backbone of the nation. The Chinese nation should not have to suffer such hardships.
So I decided to save myself in my own way. You can also think of it as me finding something to do when I was full and had nothing to do.
I married your daughter for the sake of justice, and justice is sometimes very important.
The second is to return the rights to your Zhu family in the future.
When I marry your daughter and have children, I will choose one of them to inherit the surname Zhu. This child will be the prince.
After I abdicate, this throne will be returned to your Zhu family. Anyway, I don't trust you as the emperor.
It is very simple to build a bigger and stronger dynasty with my ability.
I know you may not believe it, but now you have no other choice.
I just want to inform you to do a good job with your daughter. Oh, by the way, there may be two queens in the future.
This is what I promised, but don't worry, there will always be only one prince."
After saying these words, Chongzhen's face really changed and he didn't know what reaction he should give at the end.
After all, this sounds so ridiculous, and others find it unbelievable. They always feel that Xia Xueyi's behavior is a bit of a joke.
No one knew that this guy was secretly feeling happy.
Yuan Chengzhi, a stinky boy, flirted with his daughter. Although his daughter has not yet been born, he still hates him.
Now, before he comes out, he pries his confidante away. You pick up my daughter, and I'll pick up your confidante.
This desire for revenge is strong enough, but these are nothing. After thinking about it, Chongzhen found that he seemed not to be at a loss.
Although he got a daughter, in his opinion, a daughter is nothing.
The Tian family is ruthless and will sacrifice even their sons when necessary, let alone their daughters.
As long as you have your own blood and your surname is Zhu, then the country will still belong to your family from now on.
Judging from the strength of this man, his power has already occupied the areas of Sichuan, Hunan, Guizhou, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and has occupied almost half of the Ming Dynasty.
Even if you don't agree to the request, you can still establish yourself as king, so why not just bring him in and pass the throne to him.
Then let him go and destroy the Liukou and Houjin. As for whether the history book is true, is it important?
This was already the case. In his opinion, if Li Zicheng really came to Beijing, he would probably do that.
"I promise you, I hope you can really do what you say."
Chongzhen has a very strange character. He is a headstrong person who dares to use others, and he is also a person who everyone will doubt.
He didn't know what Xia Xueyi's real purpose was, and he didn't want to know, but he was willing to give it a try, since it was hopeless anyway.
The next day, the panicked civil and military officials suddenly received the news.
The Golden Snake King from southern Xinjiang will marry Chongzhen’s daughter Zhu Yuyao, also known as Princess Kunxing.
Not only that, Emperor Chongzhen decided to pass the throne to the Golden Snake King Xia Xueyi on the wedding day. Simply put, the Ming Dynasty changed.
It had only been one night, and everything had changed. All civil and military officials were in a daze, not knowing how to describe their feelings.
Of course, they know one thing, the Golden Snake King... no, it should be said to be the new emperor now.
