[Okay, since you said you don’t need King Qi’s help, then you won’t ask for help. You are the emperor and you have the final say. 】
[The envoy sent by King Qi did not stay long and left on the spot. King Qi is now the Emperor of Qi Ming. For the sake of the whole family, he will help you protect the inheritance left by your ancestors. Don’t you yourself? If you are willing, why should Emperor Qi Ming have a hot face but a cold butt? 】
[After King Qi’s envoys arrived in the capital, Li Zicheng, who had been arrogant in the capital, suddenly calmed down. They were also afraid. They were afraid that the Southwest Army would really bring troops to the capital to serve the king. Who was there who was not listening to the story of “King Qi Wu’s Northern Expedition” Growing up, it was okay to bully Chongzhen. Is it possible that he really wanted to fight the Southwest Army? 】
[However, after King Qi’s envoy left, they resumed their domineering attitude and continued to provoke the Ming Emperor to step down from the throne and go out of the city to kowtow to the Dashun Emperor Li Zicheng! 】
[They are only afraid of Ming Dynasty’s Southwest Army, not Ming Dynasty. 】
[When you hurriedly discussed the strategy of war and defense with the ministers, they all fell silent. You reiterated that "the king will die in the country", hoping to inspire the blood of the ministers, but the ministers remained silent. 】
[Now, even if Shaobao Yu Qian climbs out of the coffin, he can't hold on to this situation. 】
[You stand up and rebuke: "I am not the king of the subjugation of the country, all my ministers are the ministers of the subjugation of the country!"]
[After the battle to defend the city broke out, the three major battalions were mostly old, weak, sick and disabled, and had no fighting capacity, and were about to collapse at the first touch. You lose control of your emotions, look up to the sky and howl, walk around the palace, hold your chest and stamp your feet, sigh all night long, shouting: "All the civil and military ministers inside and outside have mistaken me! They have mistaken me!"]
Chongzhen could not understand for the rest of his life why he had no capable ministers under his command.
But, is it really not the case?
Therefore, if the civil and military officials of the Chongzhen Dynasty were surrounded, many would rather surrender than break out of the encirclement, because they knew that His Majesty the Emperor hated defeat the most, and when angry, he would attack his ministers, that is, himself.
Just killing like this, Chongzhen and the ministers were alienated from each other:
Supervisor Yuan Chonghuan was arrested during the Jisi Incident in the second year of Chongzhen, Ling Chi.
Governor Hong Chengchou was defeated in the Songjin War and surrendered to Houjin.
Governor Lu Xiangsheng fought against Houjin, and ran out of ammunition and food, and had no logistical reinforcements. He died in battle. After his death, his official position was reduced and his whole family was confiscated.
Governor Xiong Wencan was beheaded.
Governor Zheng Chongjian was beheaded.
Governor Sun Chuanting spent several years in prison and died in battle.
Chen Xinjia, Minister of War, was beheaded.
Yang Sichang, a cabinet scholar, committed suicide out of fear of crime.
General Cao Wenzhao died in battle.
Zu Kuan, the commander-in-chief, beheaded.
How to save such a great Ming Dynasty?
If Yu Qian is resurrected and works under Chongzhen, he will be beheaded before he spends the night!
[On the morning of March 18, you summoned your cabinet ministers for the last time and said: "Today, it is better for everyone to commit suicide in this hall and die for the country." On the same day, Li Zicheng sent someone to negotiate with you. The conditions he offered were to cede territory and make peace. The imperial court would allow him to claim the throne in the northwest, and he would be given a million taels of silver as a reward. As long as the imperial court agreed to these conditions, he would not only withdraw his troops, but also join forces with the imperial court. Fight against the Manchu Qing Dynasty established by the Jurchens in the Northeast. 】
[This condition is already extremely generous for an alliance under the city, but you did not agree in the end. 】
[Peace talks failed, fight begins! 】
[You climbed up to the Meishan Mountain behind the Forbidden City and looked over. At a glance, you can see that all the gates in the capital have been exhausted, and the rebels are swarming in. It is clearly a situation where the country has been destroyed and the family has been destroyed. 】
[You went down the mountain and returned to Qianqing Palace without saying a word, and arranged for the eunuchs Wang Zhixin, Li Zongzhou, and Wang Zhijun to take the three princes out of the palace secretly and send them to Cheng Guogong Zhu Chunchen and others, and then held a final banquet with Queen Zhou and other concubines. . 】
[At this last banquet, you said calmly: "The matter is over, let's go and commit suicide, so as not to be humiliated by the rebel."]
[Queen Zhou hanged herself when she returned to Kunning Palace. Seeing that the remaining people were not moving, you sighed and drew your sword: "Why did you have to be born in my house?"]
[The banquet turned into a feast of blood. You acted like a madman and killed all your wives and daughters. You also sent people to urge the Queen Mother and others to commit suicide quickly. 】
[The Ming Dynasty fell in your hands, and all you can do is preserve the last dignity of the Zhu family. 】
[After everything is done, you ring the bell yourself and summon the civil and military officials, but no one responds. 】
[The tree falls and the hozens scatter, the great power of the Ming Dynasty has been exhausted, and you are already the king of a subjugated country. 】
[You laughed loudly and walked up to Meishan with the eunuch Wang Chengen. Standing on Meishan, you looked down at the Forbidden City at your feet. It was like a picture of a country destroyed and a family destroyed. Dark clouds covered the sky and the sun, and the empire was sinking. 】
[In the 276th year of the Ming Dynasty, Guo Zuo, when Taizu's roar awakened the bloody spirit of the Han people, and later when Emperor Chengzu's five expeditions to Mobei led to a clear blue sky, what a prosperous age the Ming Dynasty must have been at that time! 】
[You shout to the sky: "Heaven has destroyed me! I have worked hard for seventeen years and have never been negative for a day, but the national power is declining day by day. How can this be my fault? If I had Chongzhen, I would have had Qi With King Wu as the general and Wang Yangming as the prime minister, I will definitely be the king of Zhongxing!"]
[You bit your finger and left a written edict written in blood on your chest: In the seventeen years since I ascended the throne, I have been punished three times by heaven, and three times I have been trapped in captivity. The rebels have approached the capital, and all the ministers have misunderstood me. I have no face to see the late emperor lying underground, covering my face with my hair, and letting thieves split my body. I can kill all the civil servants, but do not damage the mausoleum, and do not hurt any of my people. 】
[You hung a three-foot white silk ribbon on a crooked-necked tree in the Shouhuang Pavilion in Meishan and hanged yourself to death. 】
[Zhu Youjian's emperor life simulation ends. 】
It starts with a bowl and ends with a rope.
Zhu Di was in a complicated mood. He never expected that Daming would end with this outcome.
The two hundred and seventy-six years of Guozuo, from the time when Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang rebelled and overthrew the Yuan Dynasty, to the time when Zhu Youjian of Chongzhen destroyed his family and hanged himself in Meishan, this period of Guozuo is not too short. You have to look at what happened during this period. How many weird emperors have you had?
In fact, the Ming Dynasty should have died long after the Tumubao Incident.
Five hundred thousand elite troops were wiped out outside the pass, the emperor was captured, and the Ora cavalry were killed at the foot of the capital, reaching the point of life and death.
If Zhu Gaojie, Yu Qian, and Zhu Qiyu hadn't stepped forward, and the three of them tried their best to breathe a sigh of relief for the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty would have died at this time.
With such a last breath, after the ups and downs of several strange emperors, it is really a miracle that the Ming Dynasty can still hold on for more than a hundred years.
By the time Zhu Youxiao handed over the Ming Dynasty to Chongzhen's hands, it was already a weak flame in the wind and rain, and it might be extinguished at any time.
Chongzhen's ambition is indeed admirable. He was willing to give everything for the empire. He would get up early every day and go to court before dawn. He would also review memorials in the middle of the night. With such diligence, he could almost catch up with a model worker like Zhu Yuanzhang.
Facing the princes who were attacking him, King Zhou of Shang burned the Star-Zhaing Tower, which symbolized the destiny of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, and himself with his own hands. This was the last dignity of the last monarch.
The last Qin prince Ying, who had only been in power for forty-six days and killed Zhao Gao, surrendered to Liu Bang in humiliation to avoid massacre. This was the last responsibility of the last monarch.
As for Chongzhen... you can't describe him in words. You should not only praise him, but also scold him.
It is true that he did risk his life to save the Ming Dynasty, but if you look at the things he did, is there anything that seems possible for a human being?
What he was thinking about was saving the country, but what he was doing was destroying the country. In the end, Chongzhen was indispensable for the fall of the Ming Dynasty.
If one were to look at Chongzhen's life from an ordinary person's point of view, one would feel sad that Chongzhen's life was not at the right time.
But if you look at Chongzhen's life from Zhu Di's point of view, it will be as uncomfortable as having two big lumps of cake in your mouth, because what he focuses on is not whether Chongzhen worked hard, but what Chongzhen did.
When Zhu Di finished watching the ending of passing the throne to Zhu Gaochi, his guilt about deposing Zhu Gaochi as the crown prince completely disappeared.
It is true that Zhu Pangpang made countless sacrifices for the Ming Dynasty, but his descendants have already repaid Zhu Di's debt to Zhu Gaochi.
Zhu Di was even more eager to imitate King Qi because he felt it was so outrageous!
How did Prince Qi become emperor in the West?
What are those intercontinental missiles and satellites?
How can Prince Qi's Mansion remain prosperous despite being rich for only three generations?
However, the system’s answer was very cold:
[Because the intimacy level has not reached the standard, it is currently impossible to simulate Zhu Gaojie's life. 】
Zhu Di was puzzled: "Why? Aren't I and King Qi not enough of a father and a filial son?"
The system gave the reason this time: [To simulate the life of a descendant, the host must have a intimacy level of "80" or above with the other party. 】
[Intimacy 0, relationship: stranger]
[Intimacy level 20, relationship: ordinary friends]
[Intimacy level 40, relationship: very good friend]
[Intimacy level 60, relationship: best friend]
[Intimacy level 80, relationship: life-saving friend]
[Intimacy 100, relationship: acquaintance of life and death]
Zhu Di suddenly understood why he had been unable to imitate King Qi.
If he wanted to imitate the other party, he had to be so close to the other party that the other party was willing to risk his life, but the relationship between him and King Qi obviously did not reach this level.
The two of them were hostile to each other in the beginning, and King Qi was a ruthless person who took feelings more lightly than anyone else. In his eyes, there was no one who could not be sacrificed for him, but if he wanted him to do it for him, Whoever sacrifices is really wishful thinking.
The relationship between Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Di is self-evident. As for Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu and Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui, although they seem to be influenced by interests and are cruel and ruthless people, deep down in their hearts, they often value feelings more than anyone else.
After Zhu Di understood the question, he asked: "How close are King Qi and I now?"
He made an estimate in his mind and realized that it was probably 60 if not 70, so it wasn't a big problem.
[The current intimacy between Zhu Gaojie and you is: 0]
0?
Zhu Di was off guard: "Why, are you making me laugh? The intimacy between me and King Qi has not increased at all in the past few years? I can hold a stone to cover up the heat!"
[No, the intimacy between the host and Zhu Gaojie has been growing. 】
Zhu Di felt even more weird: "Tell me how it's grown. Why is it growing so much when it's already zero?"
[When the host simulates for the first time, the intimacy level with Zhu Gaojie is: -50]
Zhu Di was stunned when he saw this sentence.
