At this moment, I have awakened the eternal heroic spirit of China

Zhu Yuanzhang yelled at Chongzhen, so frightened that he stood up quickly and straightened his kneeling legs.

"When did our descendants of the Zhu family ever be so cowardly with you? When something happens, we just kneel down on the ground and beg for forgiveness? What do you want to eat? Coward, how can I have a descendant like you."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was full of disgust, and there was an unconcealable loss in his eyes.

The descendants of Zhu's family have been swept away by wealth and honor for a long time. Back then, he almost died several times. In the end, didn't they all make a comeback and regain their strength?

When beating Chen Youliang, many people didn't think highly of him, didn't he succeed in the end?

"Look at the eunuchs next to you. They are all better than you. You have eggs, but you don't have the courage to have eggs. What's the use of telling us that you are wrong? We forgive you, will the people of the world forgive you? Will the enemy retreat from the city?"

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Chongzhen blushed and lowered his head, not daring to say anything.

In fact, he also tried hard, but he never succeeded.

At this moment, Ning An spoke from the side.

"Your Majesty, it's no wonder His Royal Highness Xin Wang."

In front of Zhu Yuanzhang, Ning An used the word "Xin Wang", which he could understand even if he came to Chongzhen.

Sure enough, when Chongzhen heard this, his face softened a lot, and his gaze towards Ning An was full of gratitude.

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, did not continue to speak, but turned his head silently to look at the burning capital.

Ning An continued to speak from the side. Although Chongzhen was the king of subjugation, he was a king of subjugation worthy of respect.

"Xin Wang, the fifth son of Ming Guangzong Zhu Changluo. He was ordered to inherit the throne on Dingsi Day of the same month, that year."

"Eradicate eunuchs after ascending the throne, be diligent in political affairs, and have few desires."

"Historical records record that His Royal Highness Xin Wang was more than 20 years old, and his eyes were crow's feet. A matter of feasting."

"Isn't even Taizu just like that?"

When Ning An finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression finally became more distressed. No matter what, this is his descendant after all.

Looking at the pale young emperor in front of him, whose face was almost as old as his own, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart softened.

In history, Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely forgiving and loving to his own family, but he would be extremely merciful to all the blood of the Zhu family.

There was a bit of joy and comfort on Chongzhen's face.What he is most afraid of is that no one will know the depression in his heart these years, and he works long hours every day just to cover up the panic in his heart.

He was afraid of being insulted by his ancestors after he went underground, but now that the Taizu was here, he meant to forgive him.Chongzhen was not afraid anymore, as long as Taizu nodded, the rest of the emperors would not say anything.

Ning An looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, took a few steps forward, and continued to speak.

"His Royal Highness Xin Wang once felt a little sick and temporarily passed the early court. He was criticized by his ministers. His Highness Xin Wang hurriedly reviewed himself. He was sick and wanted to go to court."

"Since the first year of Chongzhen, there has been a severe drought in the north, thousands of miles of red land, and no grass can grow. The whole of Shaanxi is as red as blood. Five years of severe famine, six years of floods, seven years of autumn locusts and severe famine, eight years of drought in Xixiang in September, Lueyang floods Flooded, all houses disappeared. Nine years of drought locusts, ten years of autumn crops, 11 years of summer migratory locusts covering the sky... 13 years of severe drought... 14 years of drought."

"Henan had locust droughts in the 11th, 12th, 13th, and 14th years of Chongzhen. People ate each other, all vegetation was exhausted, and local bandits rose together. In the [-]th and [-]th years of Chongzhen, there were great wilderness in the north and south...Dead people abandoned children, and the surplus Hesai Road. There is no grass in the wild, and ten rooms are empty. There are no barking dogs in the village, but they still knock on the door to call for conscripts; Every night seems to hear ghosts crying. It is impossible to turn the poverty of the poor into robbers."

When hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang took a breath.

He didn't know what to say. Chongzhen had been on the throne for a total of 17 years. Basically, there was a severe drought every year, accompanied by locust plagues.

If it is one year, two years can last, after all, there is a granary for storage.

But things like this have been affected for more than ten years, even old grains are not enough to eat.The people will starve to death, and if they cannot survive, they will naturally rebel.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what to say. At that time, he rebelled purely because the oppression was too severe, so he wanted to resist.

But Chongzhen is really at a loss, he has a disastrous physique.

"This is not over. In the 14th year of Chongzhen, when Jinghai arrived in Linqing, three people died of starvation, three died of epidemics, and four were robbers. Rice, stone and silver were 24 taels, and people died for food. Jiang pushed thousands of miles, and the city The trap is completely empty, even if there is a complete city, only the city gods with four walls are left, the material resources have been exhausted, there is no ravages left, the roads are full of basil, the chickens and dogs are silent, and there is no plower."

"In July of the 14th year of Chongzhen, the epidemic spread from Hebei to Beijing. The disease was called "pimple disease".

"In August of the 16th year of Chongzhen, the pneumonic plague broke out in Tianjin. The plague was a disaster from the sky. The plague has spread from August to the present (September [-]th). There are people who die in one or two days, and those who die in the morning and evening, every day. Hundreds of people, even the whole family died without a single person, they went door to door, and no one was saved."

"In the 17th year of Chongzhen, the capital was plagued by plague, death was everywhere, ten rooms were empty, and even households were completely extinct, and no one restrained them."

Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his head this time and remained silent.

He was thinking about whether he could do better if he switched to such a position.

Even the capital city is unable to stop the plague, and the dead population accounts for [-]%, what is the concept?
Out of a million people, 40 died from the plague.As many as half of the city has been wiped out, and this is still the capital, where protection and medical care are among the top places in the country.

What would happen if this was changed to another place?Ten rooms and nine empty rooms, I have to say that this descendant of him is really unlucky, everything happened to him.

"More importantly, during the reign of His Royal Highness King Xin, there were constant riots, and Northern Huang Taiji was even more eyeing and harassing. For Liao's salary, His Highness Xin Wang tried his best to squeeze out all the support, but still did not get a response .”

"It's said that His Majesty's salary increase is serious, and eunuchs are assigned to manage it. But who knows, how much Liao's salary is collected by His Majesty? It is definitely within the range of the people, but those people use chicken feathers as arrows to extort money in the name of Your Majesty. The common people It's unbearable."

Ning An sighed, Chongzhen was criticized for three reasons, one was lack of political talent, the other was lack of understanding of people, and the other was hesitation.

But these are not all his reasons. Civil servants fight among themselves, and military officials are mostly corrupt.

How much is the Liao pay actually paid to the soldiers?
Such a group of people, who can Chongzhen use?It was nothing more than mutual use. When he killed Wei Zhongxian, he was always vigilant, never eating food from the deep palace, and only eating the wheat cakes he had hidden.

The women sent by the other party are all hiding secrets and carrying aphrodisiacs.

Being in such an environment all day long, how can he not be suspicious?Can you not hesitate?

He was suspicious of the other party's loyalty, hesitating and afraid of beheading the wrong loyal minister.

All these characters of his were forced out, and the only thing that can be considered solid is that he has no political talent.

But the throne is not what he wants, isn't it good to be a prince and enjoy the fiefdom?

He just wanted to save this Daming.In this world, if he doesn't stand up, who else will stand up?

At that time, who dared to resist Wei Zhongxian?Who can resist him?
