In the Forbidden City, inside the palace, on the dragon bed, a young man wearing a dragon robe slowly opened his eyes.
At the first sight, he was attracted by a stunning beauty with a look of surprise.
His eyes widened and he suddenly discovered that behind this stunning beauty, there were two other stunning beauties standing.
I saw three of them at once, all of them were stunningly beautiful and had different temperaments, some were graceful and noble, some were beautiful and youthful, some were beautiful and intelligent.
The three beauties all looked surprised. Looking at the young man on the bed, they all whispered sweetly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are awake, Your Majesty..."
The young man on the bed frowned, obviously a little dazed, what Bixia? What's the meaning? The beauty got the wrong person? Why are they dressed in period costumes?
who I am? Where am I? What am I going to do?
Just as he was thinking about it, the young man suddenly felt a pain in his head and felt that a lot of information was flooding into his mind.
After a while, his souls merged and he recovered from the pain. When he opened his eyes again, he already understood what was going on!
It turns out that he has traveled through time and is the last Han emperor in Chinese history! It was the man who worked hard from dawn to dusk but received no reward. In the end, he hanged himself on a crooked neck tree in Meishan. His last words were: "It has been seventeen years since I ascended the throne. Even though I have a weak virtue and have bowed down, I have been punished by the wrath of heaven." , but all the ministers misunderstood me, causing the rebels to attack the capital. When I died, I saw my ancestors lying on the ground without a face. I took off my crown and covered my face with my hair. Let the thieves split my corpse, and do not hurt any of the people."
Thinking of this, the time-traveled Emperor Chongzhen suddenly sat up from the bed and let out an unwilling roar: "No..."
I won the time-travel grand prize and even wore the body of an emperor. I shouldn't enjoy the glory and wealth, nor would I have wasted my hard work in my previous life!
But why did he travel to the body of the last emperor, the very miserable Emperor Chongzhen! Forget it, if you had just ascended the throne, you might be able to turn the tide with your knowledge, and even if you couldn't revive the Ming Dynasty, you would definitely be able to live your whole life in peace!
But now at this time, it is already the end of the eleventh year of Chongzhen. Don’t worry about internal and external troubles, natural and man-made disasters!
At this stage, Emperor Chongzhen had even issued two edicts on sin. The Manchu Qing invaded the pass and wreaked havoc everywhere, plundering a large number of strong people and wealth, causing millions of people to be killed and injured in the pass. This was already the fourth time. No, just over two months ago, the 100,000 Manchu Qing army led by Dorgon was still raging in the capital, knocking out Emperor Chongzhen and giving him a chance to time travel!
Just as he was thinking about it, a pleasant voice rang out with deep concern: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Your Majesty..."
After coming back to his senses, he looked closely and recognized it was Queen Zhou. Behind her are Concubine Tian and Concubine Yuan.
At this time, he didn't care about beauty, but took on the role, shook his head and said: "I am not willing to accept the corruption of the country!"
With the soul fusion of the original Emperor Chongzhen, it is natural to take over. After a few quick thoughts, he began to explain his abnormality: "What a world has become in today's world! My beloved, tell me, I wear clothes at night, eat at night, and work in the morning." Xi Ti, from ancient times to the present, how many emperors have been more diligent than me? But now..., well, why are you like this, why are you like this?"
After hearing this, Empress Zhou and others invariably showed worries on their faces, and they opened their mouths to comfort the emperor.
But Emperor Chongzhen spoke first and said: "I just dreamed of Taizu. If I don't change, the country's destruction is not far away!"
Everyone in the hall was shocked when they heard this. Not to mention the extremely fearful words of subjugating the country, just dreaming about Taizu speaking is already an incredible thing!
Before they could react, Emperor Chongzhen looked resolute and said categorically: "From now on, I must change myself, change the past, and work hard! I will never let Taizu down, and my ancestors, the country, will never be ruined in my hands. !”
After finishing speaking, I thought about a scene in my mind. It was time to draw my sword and chop off the corner of the table to express my determination. But when he looked around, he didn't find a sword or a corner of the table to cut, so he had to forget it.
However, as soon as he swore like this, Queen Zhou and others became a little excited. They took a step back, knelt down in front of the bed, and responded in unison: "Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty will definitely revive!"
Emperor Chongzhen looked serious, nodded, and prepared to lift the quilt and get up.
From now on, even if there is something abnormal about me, something different from before, with this performance just now, it can be regarded as a reason.
Next, we should consider how to become the Chongzhen Emperor?
Anyway, there is only one principle. I will never be willing to follow the old path of history and hang myself on that crooked-neck tree!
However, it is easy to make an oath, but if I remember correctly, the Ming Dynasty fell in a few years. Time has not waited for us, is there still a chance to give ourselves a chance to revive?
Even if you don’t study the history of the Ming Dynasty, you can basically guess that the Ming Dynasty has a history of nearly three hundred years and is probably in ruins. It really shouldn’t be too difficult to revive it!
It is useless to rely on the emperor alone, there must be suitable manpower. Moreover, this manpower is not so naive that it is enough to distinguish between loyal and traitorous people, but who can act according to their own wishes.
Thinking back to Wang Anshi's reform in the past, it was only a few years after the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty. Even so, the people below did not implement the new law according to Wang Anshi's wishes. The new law that was originally intended to benefit the country and the people was instead implemented by the people below to harm the people. Law.
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It would be great if there must be a golden finger for time travel like the novels that later generations have read! Even if you suddenly know all the knowledge that future generations have seen! However, I don’t seem to have any perverted memories or extensive knowledge...
While he was thinking, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps coming from outside the hall. The chamberlain at the door did not stop him. It was obvious that someone with status in the palace had arrived.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard the sound, he looked up and recognized Cao Huachun, the eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch and the governor of the East Factory. With just this look, the original memory of Emperor Chongzhen was recalled.
This Cao Huachun had followed Emperor Chongzhen when he was still King Xin. He was quite knowledgeable and quickly won the trust of Emperor Chongzhen. However, he was later implicated due to the failure of his adopted father, the eunuch Wang An, and Wei Zhongxian in the power struggle. Wei Zhongxian was expelled from the capital and sent to Nanjing to await his punishment.
After Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he immediately thought of this confidant eunuch and summoned him back to the capital to entrust him with important tasks. The saying that one emperor and one minister is not just a casual statement. Wei Zhongxian was extremely trusted by Emperor Tianqi, but this had nothing to do with Emperor Chongzhen. Now that he has ascended the throne, he must use his most trusted people for key positions, especially the most critical positions. Otherwise, how can he sleep peacefully when people's hearts are separated from each other?
"The slaves all say that the emperor has his own divine blessing, and nothing will happen to him!" When Cao Huachun saw Emperor Chongzhen's complexion as usual, his anxious face immediately changed to a happy one, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground and chanted.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he sneered in his heart. If the emperor has his own divine blessing, how did the previous emperors die? Will you die of old age?
Thinking like this, before he could speak, his vision suddenly went dark, and then a line of text appeared in front of him: "The eavesdropping system is activated, and a Class A eavesdropping seed is given as a gift."
Is this the legendary Goldfinger? Or the system? When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. Just now he was talking about golden fingers, now this? If this is the case, wouldn't my time travel be guaranteed?
When he was about to check the system carefully, another text appeared: If you want to revive the Ming Dynasty, you must first ensure your own safety. The first thing to do is to find out the true face of the person you think is your confidant, so as to practice your ability to recognize people. The mission is completed and a Grade C eavesdropping seed will be rewarded. Whether to accept? (All tasks are accepted voluntarily, and there is no penalty for failure)
There are rewards for completing tasks, and it doesn't matter if you fail to complete them. Would anyone refuse such a good thing? Emperor Chongzhen would not do it anyway, so he immediately accepted it silently in his heart.
Sure enough, the text in the air immediately changed, just like playing a game in later generations. The task was reduced to the words "Unfathomable People's Hearts (Unfinished)", hanging in the upper right corner of the line of sight, looming.
At the same time, in the lower right corner of Emperor Chongzhen's sight, there was an almost transparent package icon. With a thought, he saw the package opened. Inside were grids, one of which contained a golden seed, which was a Class A eavesdropping seed.
He was a little curious, and when he was thinking about what this eavesdropping seed was about, words began to appear.
There are three levels of eavesdropping seeds, namely levels A, B, and C. Among them, after Class A eavesdropping seeds are placed on the target person, no matter where the target person is, they can be monitored by the owner. Class B eavesdropping seeds can only eavesdrop within a radius of a thousand miles. If you exceed the range, no eavesdropping information will be received. Level C eavesdropping seeds are limited to a radius of ten miles.
How to use: Look at the target person and think about placing the eavesdropping seeds of the corresponding level, then they can be placed on the target person. The same is true for recycling.
Note: If the target person dies, the eavesdropping seeds will be lost. Please place the eavesdropping seeds carefully.
After Emperor Chongzhen received this information, these words disappeared automatically.
He was looking at things related to the system when he suddenly heard a low voice of "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." When he looked back, he found that it was Cao Huachun calling him. So Emperor Chongzhen stood up, and Queen Zhou beside him quickly changed his clothes herself.
Seeing Emperor Chongzhen's reaction, Cao Huachun immediately asked for instructions: "The Yangge Ministry heard that His Majesty fainted... fell asleep and was very anxious. He wanted to ask for permission to visit the palace."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen remembered again that the Yang Ge tribe mentioned by Cao Huachun was Yang Sichang. At this time, he had been named Minister of Rites and Bachelor of Dongge by the original Emperor Chongzhen, became an assistant minister of the cabinet, and was in charge of the military affairs.
When I thought of this, things about Yang Sichang immediately came to mind.
It was already December of the 11th year of Chongzhen. Three months ago, the Manchu Qing army entered the pass for the fourth time. It was led by Dorgon. The troops were divided into two groups and entered from Qiangziling and Qingshan Pass respectively by destroying the border walls. . The two armies moved to An'an, passed through Fengrun, and met in Tongzhou. Then they divided their forces into eight groups along the Taihang Mountains and the canal, and attacked westward. All the towns in Liufu along the way were attacked and plundered. At this time, it turned south again.
Wherever the Manchu and Qing armies passed, they burned, killed, looted, and mourned everywhere! It was precisely because of this that Emperor Chongzhen fainted from anxiety.
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly became shocked and secretly cursed, "Confused!"
It turned out that he had already remembered at this time that the original Emperor Chongzhen, under Yang Sichang's persuasion, wanted to implement the policy of "reconciling foreign affairs before settling at home", negotiate peace with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and concentrate on dealing with domestic thieves. Therefore, during the war when the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, his approach was repeated several times.
Yang Sichang advocated peace, but most of the officials did not agree. For this reason, the original Emperor Chongzhen revived Lu Xiangsheng, who was at home with Ding You, and granted him the title of Minister of the Ministry of War. He gave Shang Fang a sword and asked him to lead the world's troops to deal with the Manchu invasion.
But after the decision was made, he changed his mind again under Yang Sichang's persuasion. As a result, Gao Qiqian, the director of this army, began to manipulate Lu Xiangsheng and hold the troops in his hands. As a result, the orders were unclear, and eventually Zhending and Hejian were lost. For this reason, Emperor Chongzhen had just issued an order to remove Lu Xiangsheng from the post of Minister of War and demote him to Minister of War.
If you remember correctly, Lu Xiangsheng, a famous general in the late Ming Dynasty, died on the battlefield when the Manchus entered the Pass! Emperor Chongzhen became anxious when he thought of this. Regarding the history of the late Ming Dynasty, he had read some online articles and roughly knew some things. For example, Lu Xiangsheng was a capable fighter in the late Ming Dynasty and was loyal to the emperor.
However, he never thought that he would one day travel through time in his previous life, so history was something that he could just forget about after seeing it. Not to mention distinguishing the authenticity of various Ming Dynasty events written in online articles, even the time and place of what happened in the Ming Dynasty. Such a difficult requirement, it is basically impossible for him to remember clearly.
Now, Lu Xiangsheng does not have many soldiers and horses in his hands, but he wants to stop the 100,000 Manchu troops. This must be a disaster!
No, we must save Lu Xiangsheng!
