"Like us?"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly and asked in confusion,""If we don't count their abilities and personality, what else can they be like us?”
Appearance?
"Diligence!"
Zhu Houzhao chuckled.
Whether it was Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhu Youjian, they were both famous for their diligence in the history books.
It could be said.
These two could be considered the model workers among the emperors in the entire history of China.
"Diligence?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was still puzzled.
Zhu Houzhao didn't say anything else and just looked at Chongzhen.
Chong Zhen nodded.
He let out a breath to ease his nervousness.
"Ancestors, when I was sixteen years old, my brother died of illness. As he had no descendants, he issued a posthumous edict for me to ascend the throne.”
He smiled bitterly." But Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch of the previous dynasty, controlled the government. Under the suggestion of the Empress 'sister-in-law, I brought my medical supplies into the palace. It took me half a month to ascend the throne in fear.”
"After that, he actually had ambitions and wanted to revive the Ming Dynasty.”
"After I ascended the throne, I first feigned civility with Wei Zhongxian and used a month's time to slowly weaken his strength.”
"However, the eunuchs have been in power for more than ten years. Even if they are eliminated, there will still be many problems. All of this will leave hidden dangers for the future government affairs."
"I could no longer use the eunuchs to check and balance the civil officials, causing the civil officials to continue to grow in power. The scourge of party strife continued to rise and fall, and the internal friction was serious. Then, there were years of natural disasters. Many places in the north had no food to harvest, and refugees were everywhere."
" Rebellions rose from all sides, and the Jin Dynasty was spying on us. With internal and external troubles, I had no choice but to quickly change cabinet members. However, in the end, there was no improvement. In the end, it only got worse and worse."
Chong Zhen spoke very quickly.
In less than half an hour, he had clearly explained his merits and demerits over the past fifteen years.
After he finished speaking.
He was also ashamed.
In reality.
In his opinion, the administrative measures he had taken, such as changing seventeen chief assistants in fifteen years, were not enough.
At that time, he felt that such a thing was just a helpless move.
He hoped that he could use this method to select a suitable candidate.
However, in front of these three big shots.
When he talked about these things, he felt so embarrassed that he wanted to dig out a Forbidden City with his toes.
Zhu Houzhao didn't think much of it and just looked at Zhu Yuanzhang mockingly.
"Great Ancestor, I'm not wrong, am I? Isn't his diligence comparable to yours?”
“.......”
Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless.
17 chief assistants in 15 years, so this is where your diligence lies?
However, he had been sitting there listening for half an hour.
This Chongzhen in front of him.
Other than his mediocre abilities and indecisive personality, he did not seem to have any shortcomings.
On weekdays, he got up early and went to bed late, diligent and thrifty.
It was indeed very much in line with the characteristics of a good emperor.
Thinking of this…
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chongzhen with less anger.
"What is the meaning of using eunuchs to control civil officials?”
Zhu Di could not help but ask.
Chongzhen thought for a moment and said," During the previous Emperor's reign, although Wei Zhongxian had power over the court, the civil officials mainly fought against Wei Zhongxian, not the Emperor. However, after I eliminated Wei Zhongxian, the civil officials focused on dealing with me.”
Zhu Di frowned,"You mean Wei Zhongxian killed the wrong person?"”
Strictly speaking, he was putting the eunuchs in an important position.
After all, wasn't Ma Sanbao also a eunuch?
However, San Bao had opened up a sea route outside. Now that she had gone to the West three times, she had brought a lot of wealth to Ming.
And this Wei Zhongxian
He could actually force the emperor to bring his own medical herbs into the palace?
The scourge of the Ming Dynasty's eunuchs.
Originated from himself?
"Naturally, I didn't kill the wrong person."
Zhu Houzhao spoke.
"Wei Zhongxian claimed to be nine thousand years old in court and even asked the officials to build a shrine for him.”
"It's just that after Chongzhen cleaned up Wei Zhongxian, they didn't do a good job of cleaning up the loose ends and promoted their own spies in time, so they made mistakes again and again!”
"Indeed." Chong Zhen smiled bitterly.”
Back then, he didn't understand either.
But now that he had experienced fifteen years of being an emperor, he naturally understood.
He felt regret in his heart.
"Ancestors, what should I do next?”
"Great Ming is festering like this, I can't absolve myself of the blame, but the people of Great Ming are innocent!”
He begged again.
Zhu Houzhao didn't say anything and just looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.
What he was thinking.
Naturally, he hoped that the two emperors of the Ming Dynasty could reconcile.
Zhu Di also looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.
His father didn't speak.
He did not dare to speak.
"Sigh."
Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a long time and finally sighed.
His expression was complicated.
"Now in our world, Great Ming has just established a country, but I didn't expect to see you, the ruler of a fallen country, in this chat group.”
At this point, Chong Zhen's face turned pale.
"However…"
"Although he is the ruler of a subjugated country, his intention to revive the Great Ming Dynasty, as well as his diligence and thrift, cannot be faked.”
Zhu Yuanzhang's voice sounded again.
It also made Chongzhen slowly widen his eyes.
He did not expect that the great ancestor would actually acknowledge him!
"Thick photo."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Houzhao and asked,""I wonder if you can give me a pen and paper. I want to draw a map of the Great Ming Dynasty.”
He was already familiar with the territory of the Great Ming Dynasty.
And the purpose of saying this.
Naturally, he had to draw a map and deduce the battlefield!
"Ancestor, there's no need to go through so much trouble.”
Zhu Houzhao chuckled.
With a thought.
A virtual map of the Great Ming Dynasty appeared between the four of them.
