[Continue to simulate, Zhu Qiqin. 】
Zhu Di closed his eyes lightly and continued to simulate Zhu Gaojie's grandson Zhu Qiqin in his mind.
Although he only saw reality through words, he had a feeling——
None of Zhu Xiaosi’s children and grandchildren has a fuel-efficient lamp.
In the simulation, Hengjing Emperor Zhu Gaojie created the great cause of Hengjing and completed the true unification. And his son, Emperor Taichang Zhu Zhanji, was more like the icing on the cake, consolidating Hengjing's great achievements and preventing this vast and powerful empire from declining due to being too powerful and prosperous after the death of Emperor Hengjing. After him, the world With the new name "Mingqiu".
In addition to these two great emperors, there was also the eldest princess Zhu Yingjing who was not inferior to men. She used her daughter to lead hundreds of thousands of Liaodong cavalry to conquer the west and formed the Liaodong Navy to suppress the world.
As the grandson of Zhu Gaojie, although Zhu Qiqin did not have much achievements, he could easily control the vast western region, which shows that this person also has the status of a saint. It's just that his grandfather and father have already done everything, which makes him feel like his talents are not appreciated.
[Taichang twenty-eight years, March. 】
[The emperor decrees that you return to Beijing. 】
[But you used the excuse that there were too many affairs in the west to get away from, and refused to obey the order. 】
[Actually, affairs in the west are not worth mentioning at all to you. You are now leisurely basking in the sun in the Governor's Mansion every day. You only need to read a few official documents and military newspapers every day to firmly control the military and political power in the west. among. The reason why you resisted the decree was simply because you wanted to confront Emperor Taichang. 】
[You think Emperor Taichang is a valuable opponent. 】
[Besides, you think Emperor Taichang should regard you as a qualified enemy at this time. 】
[In the past few years in the West, it seems that you have done nothing, but everything is happening quietly. You set up the Governor's Mansion and the Tiance Mansion in the Berlin Mansion to control the military administration in the west, and recruit talents in the name of the Tiance Mansion. In the name of the Governor's Office, you rectified the business economy, acquired private chaebols, converted them into state-owned capital, and then used state-owned capital to monopolize commerce and trade, controlling the economies of the western provinces in the hands of state-owned industries, and the control of these state-owned industries Man, if you go back to the source, you are actually in charge. 】
[You feel that you are not like a soldier from Liaodong, but more like a shopkeeper who plays with abacus. You used economic warfare to turn the entire west into your pocket in just a few years. 】
[Then after you refused to obey the order, Emperor Taichang did not take any action or get angry, as if nothing happened. This also made you, who has always been outwardly outward but not inwardly, a little angry. 】
[This is more like ignoring your provocation. 】
[In other words, the other party simply regards you as an enemy, and you are not worthy of being called an enemy in Emperor Taichang's heart. 】
[You felt bored, so you chose to set off for the capital to see what your father was up to. 】
[On the way back, you were assassinated. 】
[This is all in your calculation. 】
[Your two elder brothers, King Yu and King Heng, will definitely not let you return to the capital safely. Although you don't take these two brothers seriously, to them, you are their biggest enemy. You have soldiers, generals, money, food, and the status of General Tiance. Although you are not a prince, but now that the Ming Dynasty has not established a prince, General Tiance is the most powerful person besides the emperor. If you don't get rid of him, You, how can they get to the next level. 】
[You have already mobilized the old Liaodong troops to garrison in the Tianshan Mountains in the name of Tiance Mansion to help you return to the east. You enter the country through Yumen Pass, then take the "Sun and Moon" train with military escort from Yumen Pass to Lanzhou, and then from Lanzhou directly to Beijing. 】
"Wait, what is this train?"
Zhu Di felt something was wrong as he looked at it. He had only heard of carriages, so what was this train?
Damn it, what has Ming been doing in the past few decades since my death?
[When you returned to the capital, you found that everything was wrong. 】
[The last time you came to Beijing, it was still the center of the world, the supreme ruling place of the world. It was prosperous, high-ranking officials gathered, and it was very lively. 】
[But when you returned to Beijing this time, you only felt it was cold and quiet, with few people around you. It is hard for you to imagine that this is actually the capital of the Ming Dynasty. 】
[When you walked into the imperial city, you found that the road leading from the inner city to the imperial city was stained with mottled blood, which seemed to have been washed away by rain, but it was difficult to wash away. The walls were covered with bullet holes. 】
[You quickened your pace, realizing that during this period, an earth-shaking change occurred in the capital. 】
[When you walk into the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Taichang is sitting on the throne, with white hair and a back arched by vicissitudes of life. This Emperor Taichang, who inherited the great cause of Hengjing in the past, is already an old man in his twilight years, although he is still holding a hand with one hand. The sky has supported the great cause left to him by Emperor Shi Zuwu, but he is really old. He is no longer the young boy who recited poems in the courtyard, but a man who has dominated the Ming Dynasty for decades and sat firmly on Mount Tai. Emperor Taichang. 】
[Emperor Taichang glanced at you, with a rare hint of relief in his indifferent eyes: "Just come back. I see everything you do in the west, good boy."]
[Seeing your father like this, you suddenly feel that your childlike anger before was just nonsense. You bowed and shouted: "Dad."]
[Emperor Taichang said: "I am about to die soon. I am calling you to the capital this time to pass on my throne to you. Are you ready?"]
[You frown slightly: "In the past, my grandfather adopted me as an adopted son under the eldest princess. According to the etiquette, I am no longer a prince and have no qualifications to inherit the throne. I can only be the King of Liao. Although the third brother died young, the eldest brother My second brother and I are still alive, so they should be the ones to inherit the throne."]
[Emperor Taichang said calmly: "You are wrong, they are no longer here."]
[A big question mark appears above your head. 】
A big question mark also appeared on Zhu Di's head.
This one is gone. Is the one I thought about gone?
Emperor Taichang...Zhu Zhanji...this doll from the two countries looked so cute when he was a child, but how could he be so ruthless when he grew up?
[You asked tentatively: "My two brothers are gone, are they physically gone?"]
[Emperor Taichang said calmly: "Yes, as you thought, they are buried in the ground now."]
[You are shocked: "Father, even if you intend to pass on me, why would you be so cruel to your two brothers?"]
[ Emperor Taichang was silent for a while and said: "You overestimate yourself. I did not attack your two brothers because I wanted to pass on the throne to you, but because after I attacked your two brothers, there was no succession. I am a human being, so I passed it on to you."]
[You: "...It seems like I'm overthinking it."]
[Emperor Taichang waved his hand and said: "Just follow me. Your grandfather left me a few things and asked me to pass them on to future generations. I can give them to you now."]
[You are confused now: "My grandfather?"]
[Your grandfather is Emperor Shizuwu, Emperor Hengjing, the unprecedented unifier, the ancestor emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the one who tops the new chapter in history books, the first person to pioneer the integration of civilizations... Zhu Gaojie! 】
[But today is no longer the era of Hengjing. 】
[During the Hengjing Dynasty, we relied on water-cooled machine guns and artillery to fight, and we even used horse-drawn carriages when traveling. But now, your Liaodong Army is equipped with automatic rifles, and you have six heavily armed armies, tanks, aircraft...]
[The old stereotype of Hengjing is outdated. Although your grandfather is great, what can he leave you? 】
[You follow your father and walk into the secret passage of Qianqing Palace, leading to the secret room. There are seven or eight levels of secret doors along the way. Each secret door requires the input of a designated password. Once entered incorrectly three times, it will automatically detonate. You looked in surprise, never expecting that there was such a place in Qianqing Palace. 】
[After arriving at the end, Emperor Taichang opened the last one-foot-thick steel security door. Inside was a simple stone room with a row of bookshelves. There were only a few notebooks on the bookshelf, which looked very empty. 】
[Is this the inheritance that Emperor Shi Zuwu left to future generations of monarchs? Is this little piece of shit worth preparing so many defensive measures? 】
[Your grandfather is old and confused, why is your father also following this old fool? 】
[Emperor Taichang first bowed respectfully to the bookshelf, then picked up a leather notebook from the bookshelf and handed it to you. 】
[You took the notebook and opened it to find a line of small words written on the title page. 】
["The Beginner's Guide to the Emperor", written by Zhu Gaojie. 】
[When you saw this title, you almost didn't laugh out loud, but with Emperor Taichang around, you were always embarrassed to laugh at your grandpa. You opened the catalog helplessly, and your face gradually became serious. 】

[A small notebook is the accumulation of Emperor Shizuwu's life experience, including his insights and methods for many years in power, as well as his far-sightedness in governing the Ming Dynasty, from national development and people's governance to people's livelihood, and even the ecological environment, natural resources, Cultural production...]
【Just looking at the catalog, you will feel shocked. 】
[Good boy, just go find a sane beggar on the street and force him to read this little notebook and he will become a wise man! 】
[The title of the book is really right. This is indeed a guide for novice emperors. It provides a comprehensive education for a novice emperor on how to become a wise and sophisticated holy king! 】
[No wonder Emperor Taichang regarded this as a treasure and set up several checkpoints to protect this little book. If you were the emperor, you would wish to set up a hundred checkpoints to defend this book! 】
[If this book is spread, the world will be in turmoil! 】
[Emperor Taichang took out another small book from the bookshelf and handed it to you. 】
[This time you changed your previous casual demeanor and took the notebook with both hands solemnly. 】
[It’s the same as the one just now, except that the fine print on the title page of this one is slightly different. 】

【1. Currency reform】

[At the end of the table of contents of this book, there is also a small paragraph. 】
["If future generations abide by this article, I can secure two hundred years of national honor for future generations. If future generations act recklessly, with the great power of the Ming Dynasty, it will surely prosper and then decline. War will continue, and the people will suffer disasters and fall apart. Future generations Your Majesty, you should put the overall situation first.”]
[This article explains in detail what future emperors should do and what they should develop in the two hundred years after his death. Everything is clearly arranged. Later emperors only need to follow the plans left by Emperor Shi Zuwu. , he arranged everything for future generations. 】
[You looked at Emperor Taichang in confusion: "Dad, why did grandpa only tell us how to go on the road for two hundred years, but after two hundred years, it stopped abruptly, as if it was cut off invisibly?"]
[Emperor Taichang was silent for a while and said: "He only wrote for two hundred years, which shows that he is still a human being."]
[You suddenly realized it, but lowered your head in shame. 】
[Yes, Emperor Shi Zuwu can accurately arrange two hundred years of career for future generations, which is the ultimate of human beings. The actual value that these two hundred years can bring to the Ming Dynasty is more than two hundred years. People will eventually stagnate for a moment, but if Emperor Shi Zuwu's arrangements are followed, the Ming Dynasty will keep moving forward. 】
[He is not a god, he has tried his best to pave the way for future generations. 】
[Emperor Taichang said: "Sometimes, I really doubt whether your grandfather is a human being. His books are really too advanced. I followed the path planned by your grandfather in the books, and the Ming Dynasty became more prosperous and powerful. Under his leadership, a unified and powerful country unprecedented in history emerged."]
["Two hundred years are enough to assimilate all races in the world into one kind of people. After two hundred years, only the Ming people will be left in the world. Maybe the Ming Empire will eventually perish, but the Ming people will not , the Ming people will live forever. World unification is an inevitable trend. No matter which country replaces the Ming Dynasty after the demise of the Ming Dynasty, in the end it will only be a world-unified country, a country built by the Ming people."]
[This is an utopia that truly exists in reality, a true world peace, a peace based on war. 】
[After Emperor Taichang finished speaking, he took out the third book from the bookshelf, handed it to you, and said: "This is the last book your grandfather left to future generations, and it is also the book that shocked me the most. , what is said in the book is difficult to describe in words, you’d better read it yourself.”]
[You took the third book, only to find that it was thicker than the previous two. You were a little confused. Of the two previous books, one explained how to become an emperor, and the other explained the two hundred years of development of the Ming Dynasty. , what is this third book about? It is actually thicker than the first two. 】
[You open the title page and see the small words on it, and your pupils shrink slightly. 】
