Chapter 231
Chapter 231
Seeing that Zhu Youxiao had not made up his mind, Wu Yu continued: "Even if nothing is done, the Ming Dynasty will not last for a few years. How bad can it be? The final result is nothing more than death. Is there anything more terrible than death and losing the foundation of hundreds of years of ancestors?"
After saying this, Wu Yu stopped and waited quietly for his decision. Anyway, he had said enough. If Zhu Youxiao still didn't listen, it was his own business.
Although it might not necessarily save the Ming Dynasty if he really did this, the Ming Dynasty would definitely be doomed if he didn't do it.
This is something that many people can see, but no one in the court is willing to bring it up because they are afraid of their own interests being damaged.
In their opinion, no matter who becomes the emperor, they can't do without them. Whether it's the old Zhu family or other people, they must rely on these scholars to govern the country.
At this time, Wu Yu was also considering the biggest dilemma of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, the biggest disadvantage is just one word, poverty!
It was still okay during the Tianqi period. At least relying on Zhu Youxiao's policies, some taxes could be collected from some big merchants. Although life was difficult, it could still be barely maintained.
But during the Chongzhen period, Zhu Youjian almost overturned all the systems of his brother. Not only did he not support a party that could compete with the Donglin Party, but he also cancelled the policy of collecting taxes from big merchants that was originally formulated during the Tianqi period, and transferred the pressure to the already poor people.
This made the poor poorer and the rich richer, and those people who were forced to have no way to survive could only rise up in rebellion.
Anyway, rebelling means death, and not rebelling means death. Instead of doing this, it is better to rebel against the court in a grand manner, so that even if you are finally caught, you can have a full meal before you die. It is better to die with a full stomach than with a hungry stomach.
So it was not Li Zicheng who really overthrew the Ming Dynasty, but the millions of people who could not survive. Even if there was no Li Zicheng, there were Zhang Zicheng and Wang Zicheng. As long as the Ming Dynasty did not change, the people's resistance would not stop.
The former Taizu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was one of the millions of people who could not survive.
As descendants, the Zhu family emperors should know the power of farmers better than anyone else, but more than two hundred years of prosperity and wealth have made them forget that they were once one of the millions of working people.
At the same time, outside the Hua Family Restaurant, Shangguan Haitang, who finally found out where Wu Yu lived, just walked into the first floor hall and looked around and saw Fang Zhenghua standing in front of a box on the second floor.
Looking at the figure standing in front of the door, Shangguan Haitang's pupils shrank immediately. Others did not know Fang Zhenghua's identity, but as the Xuan-level No. 1 spy of Hulong Villa, how could she not know it?
The identity of the person in the private room was self-evident, as such a famous junior supervisor of the Imperial Horse Administration and the third supervisor of the East Factory was waiting outside the door.
Especially when he saw that the other party was also looking at him, Shangguan Haitang immediately had a bad premonition.
"Could it be that His Majesty also came here specifically for that young man Wu Yu?"
It's no wonder that she thought so, because apart from this reason, she really couldn't think of any other reason why the emperor who was above millions of people would come to this small Huajia Restaurant in person.
"Master Shangguan?"
At this time, Lu Xiaofeng, who had returned from the Music Bureau, also saw Shangguan Haitang in a daze in the middle of the hall.
After seeing that the other party's eyes were always looking in one direction, he looked over curiously, and then saw Fang Zhenghua standing outside the door, and Fang Zhenghua also saw him at this time.
This scene frightened Lu Xiaofeng instantly. His brain, which was a little drowsy due to the wine, suddenly became sober. He could naturally guess what Shangguan Haitang could guess, but that was what scared him. For a while, cold sweat began to pour out.
Originally, when he saw Wu Yu came to the capital, the emperor did not summon him immediately. He thought that the other party did not want to recognize him immediately, but now it seems that he was overthinking.
But it makes sense to think about it. After all, how could the emperor not miss his brother who has not seen him for so many years?
In the box, Zhu Youxiao, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, but it was not the previous topic, "Maybe you are more suitable to sit in this position than me!"
Wu Yu "..."
What the hell, what do you mean I am more suitable than you, do you know what you are talking about!
Zhu Youxiao ignored Wu Yu's confused expression, but continued: "Since you are back, go home and take a look!"
After saying that, regardless of whether Wu Yu understood or not, he directly put a token on the table, and then walked out of the private room without looking back.
Wu Yu was looking at the token on the table in a daze. He picked it up and saw that it was from Prince Xin's Mansion.Three words suddenly came into view.
Looking at the three words on the token, and then looking at Zhu Youxiao who had already walked out of the door, Wu Yu knew the reason at this time, even if he was stupid, he was afraid that this was another identity of his original body after he crossed over.
The Prince of Ming Dynasty, the only younger brother of the current emperor Zhu Youxiao, and also the 16th emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and also the last emperor, the Chongzhen Emperor who hanged himself in history-Zhu Youjian!
No wonder the Yunluo Princess I met when I was shopping during the day called me the fifth brother, no wonder Zhu Youxiao, the king of a country, came to this small Huajia Restaurant to see me in person, no wonder he said those inexplicable words to me just now, it turns out that another identity of my body is the king of the Ming Dynasty-Zhu Youjian.
Character: Wu Yu/Zhu Youjian.
Identity: Prince of Ming Dynasty/Tianmen Disciple/Yin Gui Sect Saint Son.
Realm: Wudao Xiantian.
Gongfa: Wuqiu Yi Jue (middle-grade holy level), Qi Wu Jue Jing (low-grade holy level), Shengling Jianfa (low-grade holy level), Wulei Huaji Hand (low-grade holy level), Xuanwu Zhengong • Can (low-grade holy level), Wanjian Guizong (upper-grade heaven level), Shenzhao Jing (upper-grade heaven level), Biantian Jidi Dafa (upper-grade heaven level), Longxiang Prajna Gong (middle-grade heaven level).
Looking at the information on the panel, Wu Yu finally confirmed that he was the king of the Ming Dynasty who lost his country in history.
Suddenly, Wu Yu felt dizzy, and then countless information about his predecessor began to pour into his mind, most of which were the scenes with Zhu Youxiao when he was a child.
Because both of them lost their mothers since childhood, and their dead father was not the emperor at that time, not even the prince, but just an unappreciated prince.
At that time, their dead grandfather, Emperor Shenzong Zhu Yijun, wanted the prince in his heart, which was his second son, that is, the current Prince of Fu Zhu Changxun.
So the two brothers were bullied in the palace when they were young, and every time it was the eldest brother Zhu Youxiao who stood behind him.
As for why those eunuchs and palace maids dared to do this, it was naturally because of Concubine Zheng.
As the most beloved concubine of Emperor Shenzong, Zhu Changxun's mother often took out her anger on the two brothers.
In the end, it was Zhu Youxiao's wet nurse who drove away those palace maids and eunuchs again and again, which saved the two brothers from being beaten, and this also explains why Zhu Youxiao in history trusted Keshi so much.
Then the scene turned, and the dead father Zhu Changluo was made the prince by Emperor Shenzong, and the situation of the two brothers was much better from then on.
Later, Zhu Yijun died of illness, and the prince Zhu Changluo ascended the throne and became emperor. As the eldest son, Zhu Youxiao was made the prince, and Zhu Youjian, who was only ten years old, was named Prince Xin, but because he was too young, he was not sent out to serve.
The scene changed again, and Zhu Changluo, who had been on the throne for only a month, also died because of taking too many drugs.
So the throne naturally fell to Zhu Youxiao, the prince, who was only sixteen years old that year, and he was only ten years old.
Then, there was the conversation between the two brothers when Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne: Zhu Youjian, who was only ten years old, asked his brother what an emperor was and whether he could do it.
And Zhu Youxiao's answer was: Then I will do it for a few years, and I will give it to you later.
The last scene was that he was knocked unconscious by a man in black when he left the palace, but at the moment before he fell into a coma, he saw another child who looked exactly like him.
The scene ended here completely, and Wu Yu also knew what happened next. When he woke up, he had appeared in the Yingui Sect of the Sui Dynasty.
