After hearing Zhu Youjian's words, Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun looked at Li Xiao.

"May I ask what your name is, sir?"

"Why do you say that Ming Dynasty died in my hands?"

"There should be no festivals between us."

There was already a faint hint of reproach in Zhu Yijun's tone.

It can be said that if Zhu Yuanzhang was not here and this was the strange Taoyuan Wonderland, Zhu Yijun would probably have cursed directly.

He was the longest reigning emperor in the Ming Dynasty.

Almost all his life he has been sitting on the dragon throne, and his whole life he has been stepping on the heads of the people in the world.

Now some people actually say that he is the king of the Ming Empire who lost his country. Zhu Yijun must not be able to bear it.

Moreover, this person seemed to be just an ordinary citizen, and Zhu Yijun couldn't bear it even more.

After all, he is also the emperor of Ming Dynasty.

When will it be the turn of the Ming Emperor to be judged by an ordinary person?

Zhu Yijun felt that Li Xiao was trying to smear him, and he was already trying his best to control himself.

Listening to Zhu Yijun's tone, Li Xiao naturally guessed what he was thinking.

In fact, Li Xiao was speechless at this moment.

Originally, he just wanted to see the confrontation between Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youjian and Zhu Yijun, but he didn't know what happened to him.

Li Xiao turned his head and glanced at Zhu Youjian.

Then he withdrew his gaze and looked at Zhu Yijun: "Who am I?"

"You can also call me ancestor."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Changluo on the side quickly shouted: "Bold!"

"Who are you? Why are you so rude!"

"Even if this is not the Ming Dynasty, you can't challenge the emperor's majesty!"

After hearing what Zhu Changluo said, Zhu Yijun was very satisfied.

Since Zhu Changluo has already spoken for him, there is no need for him to speak.

He just looked at Li Xiao indifferently to see what Li Xiao could say next.

Although this is not the Ming Dynasty, they are still emperors.

The proper etiquette should still be observed.

If anyone dares to challenge the majesty of the royal family, they will definitely defend it to the death.

Since Zhu Changluo is on Zhu Yijun's side, the same is true on Li Xiao's side.

Almost without Li Xiao and Zhu Yuanzhang opening their mouths, Li Xiongzhi stood up.

"You two are so bold!"

"I saw your ancestors being so rude!"

After speaking, Li Xiongzhi pointed at Li Xiao and said, "This is your ancestor's sworn brother."

"In other words, are they your ancestors?"

"And he also has another identity. He is your ancestor's grandson-in-law. Is he also your ancestor?"

"After meeting your ancestors, you actually spoke so boldly!"

"You are so brave!"

After saying that, Li Xiongzhi, Tian Zhiwei and others took a step forward and vaguely surrounded Zhu Yijun and Zhu Changluo.

It seems that as soon as Li Xiao gives an order, Li Xiongzhi, Tian Zhiwei and others will rush forward and give Zhu Yijun and Zhu Changluo a lesson.

Zhu Yijun and Zhu Changluo were frightened when they saw this stance.

He quietly stepped back a few steps, and then looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.

It seemed that he was asking Zhu Yuanzhang for help.

Zhu Yuanzhang on the side knew that it was impossible for him to remain silent, so he stood up.

"Li Xiao is our sworn brother."

"It's not too much for him to call himself an ancestor in front of you."

"Don't talk about Li Xiao, everyone here is our sworn brother."

"Everyone here is your ancestor."

"Don't think that you are still the lofty Ming Emperor. When you come to this Taoyuan Wonderland, you are nothing."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yijun and Zhu Changluo and said in a deep voice.

Only then did Zhu Yijun and Zhu Changluo fully understand the situation at this moment.

They originally thought that their ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang had the final say here, and that Zhu Yuanzhang could decide everything.

Now it seems that they thought too much.

It turns out that the real owner here is Li Xiao, and Li Xiao has the final say here.

Immediately, Zhu Yijun and Zhu Changluo looked at Li Xiao with embarrassed expressions.

The look on his face was a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Li Xiao was not angry.

Instead, he said calmly: "I am not only your ancestor, I am also a descendant of future generations."

"I am a person from later generations."

"Although what I say cannot completely represent the views of future generations, I can tell you how future generations will evaluate you."

"For example, as people of later generations said, the demise of Ming Dynasty actually occurred in Wanli."

"This sentence is indeed the evaluation of you by future generations."

Li Xiao looked at Zhu Yijun and said in a deep voice.

Hearing Li Xiao's words, Zhu Yijun looked in disbelief.

"impossible!"

"No matter what, I'm better than these two little beasts."

"How could the Ming Dynasty be destroyed by Wanli!"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Zhu Yijun obviously couldn't accept this fact and argued loudly.

Looking at Zhu Yijun's appearance, Li Xiao shook his head slightly.

All emperors are the same. They will only remember how many things they have done that are good for the country and the people.

As for his own absurdity and the harm he has caused to the people and the country, he is selectively blind.

The same goes for Zhu Yijun.

"Zhu Yijun, you don't need to explain anything to me."

"No one says you are a foolish king. What you did during your reign will be recognized by future generations."

"In the beginning, your hard work and reforms in the first ten years were generally praised by future generations."

"They call it Wanli ZTE, thinking that the Ming Dynasty can reach its true peak with you."

"But in the end, you got rid of it yourself."

"Not only are you silent about drinking and debauchery, you are also lazy in politics and do not go to court, which ruined Wanli's accumulation in the past ten years."

"Tell me what impact you have had on future generations."

Li Xiao looked at Zhu Yijun and said aloud.

What he said was relatively fair and did not take sides.

Zhu Yijun was indeed a hero in the first ten years of his reign, but he did not continue to implement the reforms later.

Moreover, the late Ming Dynasty's lazy administration and indulgence in drinking and debauchery also plunged the Ming Dynasty into decline.

It can be said that Zhu Yijun is a real person who plays a good hand of cards to pieces.

The Ming Dynasty finally perished, and there are still people who can think of Zhu Yijun, which shows that it is still related to Zhu Yijun.

After hearing what Li Xiao said, Zhu Yijun still refused to agree.

He shook his head wildly: "No, no!"

"How could I be the king of the Ming Dynasty?"

"I am obviously the master of the Ming Dynasty's resurgence!"

"I don't agree!"

"I don't accept it!" Zhu Yijun was a little excited at the moment.

How could he not be excited?

Why doesn't he want to be a good emperor? He doesn't want to be a good emperor who will be famous throughout the ages.

But it seems like he really can't do it.

In the first ten years, it was because Empress Dowager Li and wise ministers like Zhang Juzheng helped him control and strictly required him.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty Wanli was able to develop very rapidly in the first ten years.

To put it bluntly, the first ten years of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty had nothing to do with Zhu Yijun. They were all captured by Zhang Juzheng, the chief minister of the cabinet.

At that time, all the military and political power of the Ming Dynasty was in the hands of Zhang Juzheng, and Zhang Juzheng was like the real emperor.

Zhang Juzheng said that all orders and strategies of the Ming Dynasty were decided by Zhang Juzheng.

As for him, Zhu Yijun only needs to cooperate well with Zhang Juzheng, and he doesn't need to worry about anything else.

I have to say that Zhang Juzheng is indeed a god.

Under his reform and leadership, Ming Dynasty reached a new height.

But Zhu Yijun couldn't bear it. As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, how could he tolerate a person who was more powerful than him.

Although this man is the most talented minister in the history of Ming Dynasty.

But Zhu Yijun couldn't bear it. He couldn't bear that the imperial power was on the sidelines and the power was in the hands of others.

Facing Zhang Juzheng, he was unable to compete at all, and he could only be helpless.

Fortunately, Zhang Juzheng's life was not long, and his life came to an end soon.

All power was returned to the Zhu family royal family.

Therefore, as soon as Zhang Juzheng died, Zhu Yijun immediately began to liquidate Zhang Juzheng.

He wanted to flog Zhang Juzheng, but was dissuaded.

Therefore, Zhang Juzheng's family was killed and exiled.

Even the eunuch Feng Bao didn't let him go.

Fortunately, Queen Mother Li is his biological mother, otherwise Zhu Yijun and even Queen Mother Li would probably be liquidated.

That is to say, as soon as Zhang Juzheng died, Zhu Yijun began to completely let himself go.

In the tenth year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng left Zhu Yijun a rich family fortune, enough for Zhu Yijun to squander.

Looking at the filled treasury, Zhu Yijun began to play freely.

The three major battles of Wanli were fought successively, and of course, with the support of sufficient treasury, they all achieved good results.

But the Ming Dynasty's national power was decreasing day by day.

In the end, because of the dispute between the country and the country, Zhu Yijun let himself go even more and started to mess up.

This state of affairs lasted for more than ten years.

In the past ten years, the Ming Dynasty court has also been frantically reversing its course, but Zhu Yijun did not notice it at all.

In the late Wanli period, the Battle of Saarhu was launched.

It directly emptied the last of Daming's wealth, leaving Daming completely passive.

It would be true to say that Wanli under Zhu Yijun was the hope of the Ming Dynasty, but this hope should be Zhang Juzheng.

If we say that Zhu Yijun was the main factor in the demise of the Ming Dynasty, because Zhu Yijun emptied all the wealth of the Ming Dynasty, this is correct.

Because this is Zhu Yijun's direct cash withdrawal from his later failure.

Therefore, it is not a big problem for later generations to explain that the death actually occurred in Wanli.

However, there was indeed the Wanli Zhongxing during the Wanli period.

Let everyone see the hope of the rise of Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Wanli Zhu Yijun was such a person, a contradictory person.

The merit is also his, and the fault is also his.

He is also right, and he is also wrong.

Emperor Wanli Zhu Yijun said that he was the king of the Ming Dynasty, which was true.

Li Xiao looked at Zhu Yijun and said calmly: "Zhu Yijun, you don't have to rush to defend yourself."

"Just think carefully about the things you did in the late Wanli period."

"You wanted to overthrow the ancestral system and make the concubine Zhu Changxun the prince, which led to partisanship in the Ming Dynasty."

"You want the best and most fiefdom of King Fu Zhu Changxun, which once again caused conflicts between yourself and the courtiers."

"In the end, you were lazy in politics and did not go to court for more than ten years, which led to chaos in the Ming Dynasty."

"He personally fought the tragic battle of Saarhu, which wiped out the last of Ming Dynasty's wealth and made Ming Dynasty unable to recover from the fall."

"Tell me about the things you did later."

"Later generations say that you were the king of the Ming Dynasty, and that the Ming Dynasty was actually about to be forgotten in Wanli. Do you admit it?"

"And you also ransacked the home of Zhang Juzheng, the greatest contributor to the Ming Dynasty's seventy-year existence. You are really good."

"Just because of this matter, you can be said to be a foolish king who doesn't know right from wrong."

What Li Xiao said was not polite at all, and Zhu Yijun was stunned on the spot.

Zhu Yijun didn't know how to refute it for a while.

What Li Xiao said was true and he could not refute it.

Zhu Youjian and Zhu Youxiao on one side listened quietly, with joy in their hearts.

At this moment, Zhu Youjian was extremely proud.

It was a genius idea to have Li Xiao and Zhu Yijun confront each other directly.

Let them face their own grandfather. Firstly, they are afraid, and secondly, they dare not say many things and it is difficult for them to say them.

But if Li Xiao stands up and speaks out, everything will be easier to handle.

Regardless of his identity or background, Li Xiao is more powerful than Zhu Yijun.

And Li Xiao really dares to say and do anything.

If Li Xiao and Zhu Yijun were to argue, Zhu Yijun would definitely not know how to refute a word.

Things turned out the way they hoped, and they were very happy.

As long as Zhu Yijun is silenced, they will have a chance to clear themselves.

Anyway, as long as he can clear himself, it doesn't matter who takes the blame in the end.

"Grandpa Huang, I told you everything."

"Those words were not said by me, they are based on facts."

"Now you believe it." Zhu Youjian said with added jealousy.

Hearing Zhu Youjian's words, Zhu Yijun became even more angry.

He looked at Zhu Youjian fiercely: "Shut up!"

"You have been on the throne for seventeen years. The Ming Dynasty died in your hands, and you still have the nerve to accuse others!"

"Obviously you are the king of the Ming Dynasty."

After hearing Zhu Yijun's words, Zhu Youjian looked at Zhu Youxiao aside: "Grandpa Huang, it turns out that the Ming Dynasty actually died in Wanli."

"If you don't believe me, ask your eldest brother. He thinks so."

After speaking, Zhu Youjian winked at Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao knew that he was going to give Zhu Yijun a fatal blow at this time.

Then he echoed: "Grandpa Huang, the Ming Dynasty has indeed died in your hands."

"The death of Ming Dynasty was actually caused by Wanli. This sentence is definitely not groundless."

Zhu Yijun went crazy after hearing what Zhu Youjian and Zhu Youxiao said.

It seemed that these two little beasts were determined to pour this dirty water on themselves.

Zhu Yuanzhang on the side was also silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

Once even Zhu Yuanzhang thinks so, things will be difficult to handle.

Immediately, Zhu Yijun looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Ancestor, you have to make the decision for me."

"I am really not the king of the Ming Dynasty who lost his country."

"The demise of the Ming Dynasty has nothing to do with me."
