[Choose simulation, Zhu Changluo’s emperor’s life. 】
Zhu Di was lying on the couch in Qianqing Palace, simulating the life of Zhu Gaochi's descendants. In fact, he had given up hope on Zhu Gaochi's bloodline. He could not imitate King Qi's bloodline, so he could only make do with it for now.
However, the descendants of Zhu Gaochi's lineage really opened Zhu Di's eyes. Each of them is a strange thing.
It's not that there are no smart emperors, it's just that the smart ones are not put into business.
There have been so many weird emperors in a row, so this Zhu Changluo can't be a weird one too, right?
[In the tenth year of Wanli, you were born. Your name is Zhu Changluo, and you are the eldest son of Emperor Wanli. 】
[It’s just that you are not favored. Even if your father is against the ancestral system and etiquette, he will depose you and make your half-brother the crown prince. 】
[However, due to the obstruction of civil servants, Emperor Wanli and his ministers fought for fifteen years in a battle over the foundation of the country. In the end, the emperor lost and was forced to make you the crown prince. 】
[Feeling that he was being manipulated by civil servants like a puppet, Emperor Wanli was furious and decided never to go to court again in his life. The Ming Dynasty fell into the darkest era. The emperor was decadent, the ministers were crazy, the rituals were broken, and the court was corrupt. 】
[In July of the forty-eighth year of Wanli, Emperor Wanli died, and the temple was named Shenzong. 】
[After waiting for thirty-eight years, you finally sit on the golden chair you dreamed of. You want to bring order to the chaos and restore the prosperous Ming Dynasty, but you feel physically tired and your life is not long. 】
[You were seriously ill and called Cui Wensheng, the eunuch in charge of the imperial pharmacy, to see you. You took the medicine prepared according to Cui Wensheng's prescription. You had dozens of diarrhea that night, and your body deteriorated to the point where you were lying on the bed dying. 】
[You who are about to die just after taking the throne have heard that Li Kezhuo, the Prime Minister of Honglu Temple, has an elixir that can bring people back to life, and he wants to present it to you. With a strong desire to survive, you quickly called Fang Congzhe, the chief assistant of the cabinet, to ask about Li Kezhuo's presentation of the elixir and ordered Li Kezhuo to be summoned to the palace to offer the elixir. 】
[After taking the first red pill for several hours, you felt empty and uncomfortable again, so you ordered Li Kezhuo to give you another red pill. After taking the second red pill, you almost died on the spot. Hanging thread. 】
[At the fifth watch, when you know that your life has come to an end, you order the eunuch to go out quickly and call everyone to Qianqing Palace to say your last words. 】
[On the first day of September in the first year of Taichang, you passed away in the Qianqing Palace at the age of thirty-nine. It took you thirty-eight years to sit on the throne, but you only reigned for twenty-eight days. 】
[Zhu Changluo’s emperor life simulation ends. 】
Zhu Di: "?"
You're fucking having fun with me, aren't you?
Is this gone?
I died before I even looked at it?
An emperor who reigned for twenty-eight days? ? ?
What a fuss!
Zhu Di was so angry that his liver hurt, and he thought to himself, what the hell is this, being an emperor like this? Is this what the emperor does?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Zhu Di didn't even take off his shoes, so he lay on the couch and fell asleep with a quilt embroidered with gold dragons.
There was deathly silence in the Qianqing Palace, with red dragons and gold pillars, green lanterns swaying, and wisps of white smoke floating out of the incense burner, like a dream. Outside the window, you could vaguely see stars dotting the sky, and the moon was ethereal.
In the haze, Zhu Di didn't know how long he had slept. He rubbed his groggy eyes and suddenly saw a figure in the palace. He was startled and grabbed the saber from the side of the bed.
He has been on the battlefield for a long time, and it is his habit to sleep with a knife beside him before going to bed. If he does not have a weapon, he will toss and turn all night long.
However, this time, Zhu Di touched the air, his forehead covered with sweat.
"Who is your Excellency?" Zhu Di looked at the man suspiciously.
The man was wearing a black fox fur, with his back to Zhu Di, and a black gauze winged crown on his head. His hands were clasped behind his back. He was not a tall man, but he was like a mountain with its peaks reaching into the sky. It was beyond the reach of others, and his true appearance was invisible. , but Zhu Di felt strangely familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
The black fox fur suddenly slipped from the man's shoulders and fell to the ground, revealing the red robe and the splendid golden dragon in the sea, like a soaring dragon with flying claws tumbling in the sea of fire, majestic and majestic.
Zhu Di's pupils shrank, this man was wearing a red dragon robe!
After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the emperor's dragon robes were usually apricot, and civilians were not allowed to deviate from it. In the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Gao was born in civilian clothing and participated in the Red Scarf Army who "flyed red flags and wore red scarves on their heads". Taizu was nostalgic for the past and wore a red dragon robe that symbolized the "Red Scarf Army". The Ming Dynasty belongs to fire, Taizu wore a red robe, and he hoped that the Ming Dynasty would be as strong as fire.
This man dares to wear a red dragon robe, what a transgression!
The man slowly turned his head. He had a long beard and white temples, and his eyes were indifferent. It seemed as if there were thousands of troops hidden in his eyes. Not only did he have the majesty of having been in a high position for a long time, but he also symbolized the evil aura of killing.
When Zhu Di saw the man's true appearance after turning around, his hair stood up in horror, and he almost couldn't control himself and knelt down!
"Dad, why are you back?"
Zhu Di's voice trembled, a little unbelievable.
The man in front of me was just a commoner from Huaixi, but his name made people all over the world tremble!
The founder of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Gao—Zhu Yuanzhang!
Zhu Di’s biological father! The biological grandfather of Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen!
Didn't the old emperor die a long time ago? Who are you trying to scare by coming back and wandering around?
Would I, the majestic Emperor Yongle, be afraid of you, Zhu Yuanzhang?
Do you know how awesome I am?
What is my identity? I beat up Arutai, knocked down Mahamu, and made Mobei and Annan tremble at the feet of the Ming Dynasty. If I don't obey anyone in this life, I will obey myself. Will I be afraid of you, Zhu Yuanzhang?
However, when Emperor Yongle really saw Zhu Yuanzhang, he was almost scared out of his mind.
"Fourth, you are amazing."
Zhu Yuanzhang spoke slowly, "You have snatched the throne we gave Yunwen. You are really capable."
Zhu Di pretended to be calm: "Father, do you believe what I say? In fact, my eldest nephew felt that he was not suitable to be an emperor, so he gave me the Zen position."
"Do you think I believe it?" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled.
Zhu Di swallowed and said, "Dad, we have something to talk about. Please speak normally and don't keep such a scary tone. I'm a little scared."
"You, Mr. Zhu, are you still afraid of something?"
Zhu Yuanzhang slowly walked towards Zhu Di, as if he was carrying endless darkness behind him, which was scary.
The old emperor's voice was gloomy: "The unfilial son Zhu Di plotted to usurp the throne and killed his relatives. Look, you have seen it. Your descendants are just like you, they are all stupid and unprincipled people. A wise king will be short-lived if he is young, and a foolish king will benefit." If you live longer, you will not end well!"
"You're talking nonsense! You're fucking farting!"
After being hurt, Zhu Di lost his mind in anger and roared at Zhu Yuanzhang, "How can I not compare to this little bastard Jianwen? You can see clearly. I, Zhu Di, have outstanding martial arts skills in this period. As far back as the Han and Tang dynasties, he can be called an emperor throughout the ages. Did you see that I am much stronger than Zhu Yunwen!"
"Fourth brother, you have become more capable. You dare to point your nose at me and scold me. You are much more capable than the former Yan King Zhu Di!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly, "Yunwen is not as good as you. He can't give birth to a bunch of bastards who will harm the country and the people. Pat your conscience on your own and tell us how capable your descendants must be!"
"Hongxi Emperor Zhu Gaochi died suddenly after less than a year in office!"
"Xuande Emperor Zhu Zhanji died young after reigning for ten years!"
"The orthodox emperor Zhu Qizhen was defeated and humiliated the country. He rebelled against his own brothers and built an ancestral temple for the Mongols. The Ming Dynasty was completely disgraced!"
"Emperor Zhu Qiyu of Jingtai, everything went well for the eight years of Jingtai. The only trouble was that the emperor was usurped!"
"Emperor Chenghua Zhu Jianshen, both princes, is quite a figure, but he is in danger of death!"
"Emperor Zhu Youtang of Hongzhi worked hard to govern, and then died suddenly at the age of thirty-six!"
"Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao was cheated by civil servants all his life and died unjustly!"
"Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong, Jiajing Jiajing, every family is clean, what a Taoist emperor!"
"Longqing Emperor Zhu Zaijing has been in power for six years. He is a mute emperor and has been a puppet for his whole life!"
"The Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun has lost his imperial power and has not been in court for twenty-eight years!"
"Taichang Emperor Zhu Changluo, the emperor who reigned for twenty-eight days, took medicine and killed himself!"
"Fourth, these are your good children and grandchildren!"
Every time Zhu Yuanzhang said a name, Zhu Di felt colder in his heart.
He wanted to protest, but found that he had no way to defend himself, because Zhu Yuanzhang was telling the truth.
Emperors who came from the line of princes, those who were able to do things all died young and short-lived, and those who were incapable of doing things lived long and brought disaster to the country and the people. How can you explain this!
"You were talking, why didn't you speak?"
Zhu Yuanzhang continued to approach Zhu Di with a ferocious expression, "Zhu Laosi, the Ming Dynasty has been destroyed in your hands!"
"I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"
Zhu Di kept retreating, but found that his spine hit a hard wall and there was no way to retreat. He did not dare to raise his head and look at Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Say it! You bastard, talk to us!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's angry rebuke was like the roar of a tiger in the mountains, awakening the soul deep in Zhu Di's heart.
"Okay, don't you look down on me? Then I'll tell you, I'm right!"
Zhu Di suddenly raised his head and glared at Zhu Yuanzhang: "I am not as good as Jianwen. Just because I am not born to Queen Ma, and just because I am not the brother of my eldest brother Zhu Biao. Do you ever remember that I was the one who helped you capture him alive? Nai'er Buhua from Beiyuan, did you say in front of everyone at that time that the one who clears the desert is King Yan!"
"I admit that if the eldest brother sat on the throne, I would be convinced, and everyone would be convinced, but why do you make Zhu Yunwen the emperor? I, Zhu Di, am not a thousand or ten thousand times better than him, Zhu Yunwen? Compared with Jianwen and me, he is nothing. What a thing!"
"Jianwen cut down the vassalage, killed the King of Xiang, deposed the King of Qi, King Dai, and King Min, and exiled the entire family of the King of Zhou. This is called cutting down the vassalage? This is called cutting down one's life!"
"If I don't fight back, I will die."
"Jianwen is your biological grandson, so I, Zhu Di, am not your biological son?"
"The prince's lineage is not up to par. I will pass it on to King Qi now. Do you know King Qi's descendants? They have not embarrassed our Zhu family. King Qi will definitely not let me down!"
"Dad, tell me, tell me, am I, Zhu Di, the emperor of the ages?"
"I'm no worse than you! Since I came to the throne, I've been thinking about dedicating everything to this country and the Ming Dynasty all the time. More than anyone else, I hope that this country can last for eternity!"
At the end of the speech, Zhu Di was choked with tears.
In front of Zhu Yuanzhang, he was not Emperor Yongle, but the fourth son of the Zhu family.
He just wanted to prove that he had done nothing wrong and had not failed the country.
Although he rebelled, he really gave his life to Ming Dynasty.
