Video through history: the beginning of the inventory of ten kings

Just when the emperors were in a complicated mood, a mysterious voice resounded in the sky again.

[Three days later, a special episode about Emperor Chongzhen will be played, so stay tuned! 】

As soon as the voice fell, the video finished playing in this place, and the vision in the sky gradually disappeared.

For the rest, the emperors either sighed or disdained.

of course!

More still looking forward to the next video!

They would love to know what is the benefit or punishment for being on this list!
And in a parallel time and space, Chongzhen, who had already been devastated, also saw this video.

At this time, it has been the 14th year of Chongzhen, and the Ming Dynasty has come to the end.

After watching the video, Chongzhen couldn't sleep all night. "Is that the end of my Daming?"

"Is that the end for me?"

The dignified ninety-five honor, actually ended up hanging himself!

Chongzhen stood up suddenly, gritted his teeth and swore; "The ancestors of the Zhu family are on top, and the descendants of Zhu Youjian make an oath here!"

"I will definitely protect my Daming country, and I will never let Manqing enter the customs, and I will never let my Daming kingdom be cut off!"

"As long as I can protect my Daming Jiangshan, I, Chongzhen alone, are willing to bear all the infamy!"

After taking the oath, Chongzhen remembered the comment that the mysterious voice gave him.

【Do great things and cherish your body! 】

Yes, even if the ministers are wrong, isn't he Chongzhen right?

He loves his reputation too much, even.I don't want to be wrong.

In the 14th year of Chongzhen, there are only three years left before the demise of the Ming Dynasty!

There was no time for him to hesitate any longer.

In history, Chongzhen and Huang Taiji at this time couldn't hold it anymore.

November,
It was snowing heavily outside the gate, and the outside of the gate, which was already icy and snowy, became even colder.

Although the Qing army besieged Hong Chengchou, the general of the Ming Dynasty, its own supply line was also cut off by the severe cold.
Hong Chengchou could still hold on, but they were about to lose it.

not to mention,
Huang Taiji knew in his heart that it was not yet the time to enter the customs, and he also hoped to recharge for a few more years.

And Daming is even worse!
Due to various natural disasters, the rogues who had been crippled, revived again, swept through half of the Ming Dynasty, and even conquered Luoyang, approaching the prosperous land in the south of the Yangtze River.

The Ming Dynasty is about to lose its most important source of tax revenue.

Under such circumstances, a truce between the two sides was originally a matter of course.

But Chongzhen is a person who wants all face.

Not only want to stop the war, but also want to put on airs in front of Huang Taiji.

The two sides dragged on for a very long time, which finally led to the disclosure of the peace talks, and the courtiers were excited.

And this time,
Chongzhen has made up his mind and will never let such a thing happen!

The next day,

morning,

Chongzhen directly proposed in public that he would negotiate peace with the Manchu Qing and the two sides would stop the war.

"Your Majesty, no!"

"I am going to the country tomorrow, how can I make peace with Jiannu?"

A civil servant screamed and grabbed the ground, as if the Ming Dynasty was about to subjugate the country after the peace was negotiated.

But such a civil servant may not really have any opinion on Yihe.

I just want to use this to gain a good reputation for being outspoken and daring!

Chongzhen's eyes were indifferent, and he waved his hand: "Drag it down, behead it! Search the house!"

"???"

Wen Chen, who was kneeling on the ground, was stunned, and he couldn't believe his ears.

but,

Chongzhen, however, did not give him time to react, and directly signaled the imperial guard to do it.

"Your Majesty, no!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Lord Chen Yan is also dedicated to the country!"

"Please, Your Majesty, take your life back!"

The civil servants on the side came back to their senses and jumped out to show their existence.

"Anyone who dares to say this again, behead!"

"..."

"Chen Xinjia!"

"Chen is here!"

"I have ordered you to be a high-ranking scholar in the cabinet, concurrently serving as the minister of military affairs, and fully responsible for the peace talks with the Qing Dynasty!"

"I will live up to your majesty's request!" Chen Xinjia's face flushed red, and he saluted and thanked him.

After that, Chongzhen continued to order, regardless of the comments and eyes of the ministers.

"Lu Xiangsheng!"

"Chen is here!"

"I ordered you to be the governor of Liangjiang, deploy troops and horses from all walks of life, and let me exterminate the thieves in Luoyang, and never let them enter Jiangnan!"

"The old minister will definitely live up to the emperor's grace!"

After the two appointments, the entire hall was silent.

They could all see that the emperor had made up his mind this time.

As usual, they would definitely have to argue again.

Not for anything else, just for power and standing in line.

Can peace talks with the Manchus succeed?

Can you exterminate the thieves?
None of this matters.

It is important that

Those who have made such great achievements are their own comrades or political enemies.

This is the greatest danger of the party struggle in the late Ming Dynasty.

And today,
Chongzhen beheaded one person first, making the Donglin party temporarily shut up.

But this is only temporary.

On the third day,
early morning.

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible to negotiate peace!"

"Yes!"

"After the news came out, the scholars in the capital were so excited that they collectively wrote a letter asking His Majesty to take back the order!"

"Your Majesty, that Chen Xinjia is really a coward. How can you let this person enter the cabinet, please behead this person!"

"Your Majesty, Mr. Lu is old, how can he lead the three armies again? Please take back your order!"

"Your Majesty, the minister recommends one person, who will surely be able to exterminate the thieves!"

……

One by one, the civil servants came out, with all kinds of thoughts, trying to change Chongzhen's decision.

When Chongzhen saw this, he sneered,
Few of these families really thought about the Jiangshan community in Daming.

All for one's own selfishness, full of benevolence and morality, full of worldly fame and fortune!
"Shimei Heng, Li Jiong, you two are the loudest, but I don't know how you can still have such a voice when the country is ruined and the family is destroyed?" Chongzhen asked sharply.

The two who were named trembled and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Drag out and behead! Search the house!" Chongzhen waved his hand impatiently.

"This, this..." Both of them were confused.

After all, they are also high-ranking officials in the DPRK, and they are going to be raided and beheaded for just a few words?
"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

"Your Majesty, I know I'm wrong!"

The two were dragged down amidst the screams.

The ministers trembled!

Killing ministers at will, the emperor is disregarding his own reputation.

see,

Chongzhen took a deep breath and said firmly:

"The whole Daming is in danger, and I don't care about my reputation anymore."

"Whether future generations say that I am a tyrant or a fool, I will accept it!"

"Da Ming's Jiangshan must not be buried in my hands!"

Chongzhen's remarks sounded like a bell, and he was decisive, with a murderous intent.

The ministers are all terrified!

………………

Three days passed quickly.

In the parallel time and space, the mysterious picture appeared again.

[Extra chapter of Emperor Chongzhen! 】

And the content of this extra episode is exactly what Emperor Chongzhen did in the past three days.

Emperor Chongzhen of this time and space naturally noticed the vision, and was inevitably a little worried.

"I don't know how the ancestors of the Zhu family would view what I did?"
