Chapter Fifty-eight
"Zhu Houzhao, tell me for yourself, we really didn't expect you to be such a bastard."
"How could I, Zhu Di, have such a ridiculous descendant as you?"
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di stared at Zhu Houzhao with extremely dangerous eyes, with eager faces on their faces, wanting to beat Zhu Houzhao violently.
This naughty grandson doesn't know how to respect his elders. Maybe after giving him a beating, he will know who his ancestor is!
"What are you talking about? I've never done it, so what's there to say?"
Zhu Houzhao has black lines all over his head. He is said to be absurd. No matter how absurd he is, he can be as absurd as Zhu Houcong and his family.
There were many wonderful people in the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Houcong's family accounted for half of them. Those who pursued immortality, drank too much, quarreled with ministers, and played with building blocks. Instead of teaching these weird people a lesson, they came to trouble him. He really admired Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di.
A sixth man.
"Yes, although Emperor Zhengde is a bit absurd, Emperor Jiajing is not much better. He spent his whole life pursuing Taoism and immortality, and was almost strangled to death by a palace maid."
Zhu Houzhao's best teammate Zhu Youxiao gave him a fair word and yawned after speaking. He must have stayed up late last night doing carpentry work!
"I was practicing Taoism and seeking immortality, but I was almost strangled to death by the palace maid!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and did not bother to teach Zhu Houzhao a lesson. The maids dared to strangle the emperor. Are there any rules? Can the safety of the Ming Dynasty royal family be guaranteed?
He immediately pointed his gun at Zhu Di: "Zhu Di, look at how your descendants have caused harm to the Ming Dynasty by not doing their jobs properly!"
Zhu Di was speechless, this could all be blamed on him.
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen's cry was nothing more than adding fuel to the fire: "Grandpa Taizu is right. If the emperors of the past dynasties had not neglected their duties and acted arbitrarily, our Ming Dynasty would not have reached the point where it is today!"
He was about to shed tears. It was not easy for him to cry and support Ming Dynasty, which was already riddled with holes. Now he finally found someone to talk to!
And his words also successfully attracted Lao Zhu's attention. In this situation, what kind of situation is it, could it be...
"What happened to Daming?"
Lao Zhu shouted sharply, feeling very bad in his heart. There were only sixteen emperors in the Ming Dynasty. Could it be that his Ming Dynasty only passed down to the sixteenth generation?
"Grandfather Taizu, you don't know my sufferings. Natural disasters are everywhere in the country. There are uprisings such as Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong inside, and there are rebellions caused by slaves outside..."
Chongzhen vomited his bitterness to Lao Zhu and told him about the difficulties he was facing, without noticing that Lao Zhu's face became increasingly ugly.
Uprising and foreign enemies, these two words alone aroused Lao Zhu's great attention. However, in a few breaths, he judged Chongzhen's situation. It was almost not much different from the late Yuan Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty was on the verge of collapse!
The Ming Dynasty really only lasted for sixteen generations, which was completely incompatible with the eternity he expected. He who valued the inheritance of the Ming Dynasty couldn't help it, and yelled at Chongzhen: "Waste, the Ming Dynasty is here."
Why are your hands like this?"
"Grandpa, you really don't blame me..."
Chongzhen immediately started the blame-shifting mode and passed the blame for the end of the Ming Dynasty to Zhu Youxiao of Tianqi, Zhu Yijun of Wanli, and even Zhu Houcong of Jiajing.
If Zhu Youxiao was not obsessed with carpentry and doted on the eunuch Wei Zhongxian;
If Wanli hadn't quarreled with his ministers, engaged in national disputes, and allowed Li Chengliang to support the invaders;
If Jiajing had not been obsessed with cultivating immortals and doted on Yan Song, Yan Shifan and his son, how could the Ming Dynasty become more and more corrupt.
In short, the fall of the Ming Dynasty is all due to Tianqi, Wanli, and Jiajing, three unreliable guys, but he was not at fault at all. He worked conscientiously, and even mended the torn dragon robes to wear them. The cost of food and clothing has been reduced again and again. How can there be any mistake in being so diligent and frugal?
He even thought in his heart that if Tianqi, Wanli, and Jiajing hadn't messed up, leaving too much mess and it was difficult to recover, maybe with the help of the gentlemen of the Donglin Party, he might have destroyed the Ming Dynasty long ago. Governance is progressing day by day, and the Haiyan River is clear!
Everyone in the Zhu family was speechless. The end of the Ming Dynasty was indeed due to the misdeeds of the previous emperors. But as the last emperor, would you not have even a single fault?
They were deeply disdainful of Chongzhen's skill in throwing the blame. They might believe him even if he dumped the blame to a certain minister, but he picked it cleanly. It was obvious that there was no silver in this place, which made it difficult for them not to believe it. Become suspicious.
"Jiannu, Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong..."
Lao Zhu's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and his murderous intent was extremely strong. If he dared to shake the Ming Dynasty, in his eyes, even dying ten thousand times would not be enough to atone for his sin.
Then he glanced at the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, and his tone was so gloomy that it made people shudder: "Those who do carpentry, those who quarrel with ministers, those who cultivate immortality..."
He was on the verge of going berserk at this time. The later emperors of the Ming Dynasty turned out to be such a group of extremely absurd things. It is no wonder that he would come to the end.
Zhu Di also looked like he wanted to eat people. There was a man named Zhu Qizhen who already made him deeply ashamed. How could Emperor Yongle have such embarrassing descendants? Now add Zhu Houcong, Zhu Yijun, Zhu Changluo, Zhu With all the weirdos in the school, he felt that his old face had been lost to the end of the world.
The anger is burning, and the desire to kill is already there!
Being stared at by Lao Zhu and Zhu Di, two ruthless men who had killed countless people, Zhu Houcong, Zhu Yijun, and Zhu Youxiao suddenly felt a strong psychological pressure, and it was difficult to breathe.
Although they are also emperors, occupying the throne all year round, and have developed a good momentum, but they are not worth mentioning in front of Lao Zhu, who started with a bowl, and ended up with the world, and Zhu Di, who was at peace with the emperor and oppressed all nations.
"Brother, you have to speak with your conscience. It's true that I favor Wei Zhongxian, but he is indeed effective in doing things. With him presiding over, there will be no chaos in the Ming Dynasty. As for me liking to do carpentry, what's there to say? As an emperor, is it possible? I can’t have any hobbies of my own.”
Zhu Youxiao's poetry is impressive and eloquent.
"That is, you made Ming Dynasty into a mess and put the blame on us. You are still not my grandson."
Wanli said very unhappy.
Zhu Houcong remained silent. As one of the smartest emperors of the Ming Dynasty, he also understood that there must be his reasons for the decline of the Ming Dynasty, so he remained silent. As long as I am not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.
Chongzhen looked at Tianqi, Wanli, and Jiajing with disdain. Although Tianqi was his brother, Wanli was his grandfather, and Jiajing was the source of his lineage, he looked down on these three people, neglected their duties, neglected government affairs, and even The situation in the Ming Dynasty became increasingly corrupt.
If they could trust the gentlemen of the Donglin Party like him and spend all their energy on governing the country, Ming Dynasty would be almost helpless when he came to him. Although he showed signs of becoming the last monarch, he would not bother to follow this The three faint kings in his eyes are juxtaposed, even though Tianqi is still his brother.
