It was already the 16th year of Chongzhen.
It was less than a year since he hanged himself on Chongzhen Mei Mountain.
The situation of the country was that Jian Nu occupied Liaodong outside the Pass, Li Zicheng occupied Henan in the Central Plains, and Zhang Xianzhong harmed Huguang.
The Mongolians outside the Great Wall were divided into many factions, but they were not strong enough. The Ming Dynasty still had Qin and Jin, Xuan Da, North and South Zhili, Shandong, Sichuan and Sichuan, but they only controlled a few places.
After the war, the people suffered.
The people suffered.
Moreover, at this time, the lives of the commoners could not be described as miserable.
Let's not talk about the people.
Even the imperial cannon that Chongzhen was wearing had several patches.
The Emperor's life was like this. Chongzhen could not imagine what the people were like. It was a great irony to say that they were happy.
"Humph, let's see how Zhu Youjian answers this question. How can he have the face to answer…"
In the live broadcast room at the end of the Ming Dynasty, when this question was asked, whether it was Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Jian Nu's Huang Taiji, or Dorgon, they all sneered. They wanted to see Chongzhen lose face.
"Sigh…"
When Zuo Liangyu saw this question, he let out a long sigh.
In the Ming Dynasty, there was no way to save the world.
Unless a miracle happened.
Then, could the Heavenly Examination Hall create a miracle for Emperor Chongzhen?
At this moment, there were still many loyal officials who hoped that Emperor Chongzhen could create some miracles in this examination. However, when they saw these sharp questions, they could not help but sigh.
"Forget it! I've already issued a self-reproaching edict several times, so why can't I face it…My people, I've let you down. I've also let down the Great Ming Empire of Emperor Taizu.”
Under everyone's attention, Chong Zhen struggled for a moment, his nails piercing through his palm. Then, he picked up the pen that was as heavy as ten thousand catties and checked the answer with a trembling hand.
As expected.
The answer he had ticked was C-harder than ever.
The moment the answer was ticked, a teardrop fell on the test paper, melting the ink on the door.
"Ahhhh! Damn it…It's all those traitors who deceived His Majesty! Your Majesty, none of this is your fault!”Wang Chengen burst into tears. At this moment, he could feel the pain of Chongzhen.
"What sin did I, Big Ming, commit!”
"Do you really want to destroy my Great Ming!"
"Wahhh…"
At the same time, countless scholars and commoners, both inside and outside the Great Wall, saw this answer and cried out.
Some of them did it because of the Emperor's choice, while others thought about the past few years and felt endless grievances and pain. They only wanted to cry out loud.
"I've let down the people of the world!"
Perhaps it was because he had been summoned by something. It rained heavily at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Perhaps he had also felt sadness. After Zhu Youjian chose this answer, he actually fell to the table and cried.
The sound of crying immediately shocked the Emperor in the examination hall. They looked at Chong Zhen, not knowing what he was crying about.
Only Emperor Yongzheng, Emperor Kangxi, and Emperor Qianlong saw this scene and stopped writing.
"Chongzhen, what are you crying for? This country had been defeated by him!”
At the same time, the scene of Chongzhen crying was also transmitted to the end of Ming Dynasty. At this moment, even Chongzhen's opponents, Li Zicheng, Zhang Zizhong, and some of the White Lotus Society's rebels, as well as the helpless civilians in the army, felt a little uncomfortable in their throats. In the end, they could not help but cry along with Chongzhen.
At this moment, the entire Ming Dynasty seemed to be crying.
"Sigh, there's no rush…perhaps there's still a chance for your empire to turn around.”
Qin Feng quietly placed his hand on Chong Zhen's shoulder and whispered.
Was Chongzhen really a fatuous ruler?
No, on the contrary, he could even be compared to Zhu Yuanzhang. He spent a lot of energy dealing with the country, but was it useful?
Natural and man-made disasters. Even Zhu Yuanzhang would not be able to reverse the social environment at that time.
Of course, if Zhu Yuanzhang was in the first or second year of Chongzhen, it would still be possible.
However, by the 16th year of Chongzhen, the empire had almost ceased to exist in name only. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang came, there was nothing he could do.
Therefore, one could not blame Chongzhen.
From another perspective, Qin Feng even sympathized with Chong Zhen and admired him.
At the very least, this fallen monarch had thought of saving the empire.
However, some artists and emperors shamelessly believed that the country under their rule was better than any previous era.
Qin Feng raised his head.
His gaze fell on Liu Xie. He was also the ruler of a subjugated country, but he also chose the third answer.
There were also rulers who had lost their country.
Yang Guang, the Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, had at least used the off-field help.
But what about Emperor Huizong of Song?
He was still feeling smug.
The shame of Jingkang was that he did not even dare to commit suicide. He could still calm down and watch his daughter and wife being humiliated by the golden men. He even had the energy to give birth again.
Even Guangxu and the others were using their efforts to save the empire and the country.
But he…
It was hard to explain.
In addition, there was also an emperor.
Zhu Qizhen, the emperor, had returned home for half a day and discussed for half a day, but he still shamelessly chose option B. He was as happy as the previous emperor.
Was he still unwilling to admit his failure?
Two hundred thousand soldiers.
Hundreds of thousands of people followed him.
The battle at Earthwood Fortress had caused at least 500,000 more families to be crippled in the entire empire. Even so, this fellow still had the face to choose the second option.
This emperor was not very good at being an emperor, but at least his skin was thick.
