Just in time for the Little Ice Age, the food harvest was poor, domestic famines continued, the people were in dire straits, and rebellions against the people were rising everywhere.
Seeing that the country was overturned and the country was in ruins, Emperor Chongzhen was still hesitant and hesitant, with no way to turn the tide of the war.
King Zhu Yujian of the Tang Dynasty knew that it was a capital crime, but he still recruited thousands of troops to go north to serve the king. This was a good thing to show the blood and family ties, and it could also serve as an example to urge other vassal kings to follow suit, open their private treasury, recruit troops, rescue the people, and help Ming Dynasty survived this crisis.
However, the suspicious Emperor Chongzhen chose the most incorrect way of doing things among all the choices, convicting Zhu Yujian and imprisoning him in the capital.
As soon as this incident came out, other feudal princes who were ready to take action would not dare to have the slightest intention of helping each other in the same boat.
I disregarded my ancestral aspirations, abandoned my family and property, and even spent all my wealth to help you sit on the dragon throne. However, you are ungrateful and in turn want to be punished and imprisoned.
What fool would continue to do things for you?
The hearts of many members of the royal family were completely shattered at this moment. What's more, they turned against traitors internally and established slaves externally, completely sinking the giant ship of the Ming Dynasty.
Some people say that the Ming Dynasty died at the hands of Emperor Taizu Hongwu. Because he was born in a poor family, was short-sighted, and doted on his children too much, he made the royal family members a cancer in the Ming Dynasty, and finally completely brought down the Ming Dynasty.
Some people explain that he died in Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong because he had been in power for more than 40 years and ignored government affairs, focusing on alchemy and Taoism. He even treated Ming Dynasty as a listed company. As an emperor, he took the lead in corruption and built palaces in order to have more money. , and did not hesitate to let the people in the south of the Yangtze River change rice into mulberry, causing resentment among the people and starvation in the fields.
Some people explain that the dynasty died due to the carpenter emperor Zhu Youxiao, who favored the eunuch Wei Zhongxian, which led to the murder of countless loyal people and the central court was rotten to the core.
In fact, Ming Dynasty died in Chongzhen!
First of all, this is an established fact of history. In the 17th year of Chongzhen's reign, Li Zicheng led his troops to invade the capital, and Chongzhen hanged himself from a crooked neck tree in Meishan.
Secondly, Chongzhen was a small-minded man who was suspicious and did not know how to be a king, let alone the ability to employ people.
What Mingxi Zong Zhu Youxiao left to him was not a pair of Tianhu cards with two kings and four twos, but it was still a good winning hand.
He thought that if he lived a simpler life, wore simple clothes and even wore patches, Ming's finances would gradually improve. This was simply fantastic.
He thought that by killing the eunuch Wei Zhongxian, the court would be peaceful and the ministers would be able to assist him with peace of mind. This was even more fanciful.
He thought that by doing everything himself, he would surely be able to impress the officials, the people, and God, but in fact he was only impressing himself.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will take good care of the princess."
Sun Ming replied respectfully.
At this moment, Zhu Xiuyun shyly withdrew her little hand and turned her head to the other side.
"Thank you for saving me. Besides, father, marriage is a lifelong event. Why did you make a marriage contract before you asked your daughter's opinion?"
Zhu Xiuyun asked quietly.
She had been weak-tempered since she was a child and was a typical good girl. She did not become unruly and willful because of Zhu Yujian's pampering.
"Daughter, parents' orders and matchmaker's words have always been like this. What's more, the situation was urgent at the beginning. I'm afraid the only one who can save your life is Sun Ming. My father has no choice, so he recruited him as his son-in-law."
Zhu Yujian explained.
"What? Does my daughter belong to someone else?"
"Ah, that's not true."
Zhu Xiuyun quickly shook her head nervously.
She usually never leaves the house or steps forward. Among her peers, she only knows one man, her eldest brother, so there is no one she belongs to.
It's just that he has to get married in a hurry, and it's hard to calm down, so it's reasonable to ask.
"In that case, the matter has been settled. My father has some things to deal with. You have a good rest. My father will come to see you tomorrow."
After Zhu Yujian finished speaking, he turned and left the room.
At this time, apart from a few maids, Sun Ming and Zhu Xiuyun were the only ones in the room.
The little princess's cheeks were red, not like a relapse of an old illness, but more like shyness.
Seeing this scene, Sun Ming, as a grown man and having traveled from the 21st century, how could he not express his stance?
"Your Highness, I am a merchant with no merits. Fortunately, His Highness the King of Tang Dynasty loves me so much that I have the honor to be a guest of the Tang Mansion and be able to treat Your Highness the Princess's illness. But I know how much I weigh. If the Princess Your Highness does not agree, I will go and explain to His Highness Prince Tang now that even if I am convicted, it will not be difficult for Your Highness the Princess."
Sun Ming bowed and saluted, his attitude was very correct.
Starting a family is a matter of two people. Sun Ming doesn't want to force it on others. It won't be sweet if you force yourself.
Of course, he was able to say these words not because he was so kind, but because he had seen through Zhu Xiuyun's little thoughts. If he was not interested in him, how could he blush? It wasn't long ago that she had already proposed to the King of Tang to terminate her engagement.
Sun Ming is still very happy to do the icing on the cake.
"No, since the marriage has been decided, there is no reason to change it. With my father's temperament, if you really tell him about this matter, you will definitely be killed. So, just do it."
Zhu Xiuyun whispered, her pretty face had already turned red as an apple, and she didn't even dare to look into Sun Ming's eyes. This little girl was so shy.
"Thank you for your consideration, Princess. I have agreed to this matter. I have written down the prescription before. Just take the medicine on time and you will be fully recovered in three days. Now, although we have a marriage contract, we have not exchanged gifts. I will Go back and discuss with your father to decide a date."
After Sun Ming said this, he turned around and left the room.
He is going to have a wife soon, and she will be the princess after the current princess. To be honest, Sun Ming is also quite excited.
After two lifetimes, we are finally getting married!
"Your Highness, Group Leader, do you really want to recruit Sun Ming as your son-in-law?"
The maid Xiao Yuer asked with a very strange expression.
"Ah, what's wrong with Xiao Yu'er? Is there anything wrong with this Sun Ming?"
Zhu Xiuyun turned around and asked worriedly.
In her opinion, the matter was decided by her father, and there was no room for maneuver.
Furthermore, Sun Ming is not bad looking, and he can also cure diseases and save people. He can be regarded as a promising person at a young age.
It's not a bad idea to pledge yourself to save someone's life.
"Hey, Your Highness, I'm telling you the truth, you have to bear it."
Xiao Yuer took a long sigh and then said: "This Sun Ming is the legitimate son and only son of Sun Dacai, the richest man in Nanyang. Because Sun Dacai came to have a son when he was old, he was pampered since he was a child. Sun Ming's temper is arrogant and domineering, and he does all kinds of evil. It's Nanyang who came out of A well-known playboy. Just a few days ago, he was scornful of you. He is simply a slut who has taken advantage of his ambition. If you marry him..."
After Xiao Yu'er finished speaking, she didn't dare to say any more.
How could such an innocent and kind-hearted girl as Your Highness the Princess marry a dandy young man like Sun Ming? Isn't this just a flower stuck in cow dung?
