Father-in-law Zhu Di, I am so happy to marry the disfigured princess

Listening to Zhu Yijun's words, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

Now Zhu Youjian and Zhu Youxiao both say that Zhu Yijun was the king of the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, there is testimony from Li Xiao, a later generation, that the death of Ming Dynasty actually occurred in Wanli.

It's all like this, and Zhu Yijun can't seem to explain it no matter how hard he tries.

Anyway, in Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion at this moment, the fall of the Ming Dynasty must be inseparable from Zhu Yijun.

This is the same as Zhu Youxiao, even if it is not the main responsibility, there is still a secondary responsibility.

Anyway, in the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang, these three people, grandfather and grandson, are all kings of subjugation.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Changluo who was silent.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang looking towards him, Zhu Changluo felt very nervous.

He immediately replied with a respectful voice: "Grandfather, please don't look at me."

"This matter has nothing to do with me."

"After all, I've only been emperor for a month and I've already lost my temper."

"Even if I want to harm our family Daming, you have to give me time."

"It's only been a month and I don't have time to do anything."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes at Zhu Changluo.

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang did not speak, Zhu Changluo breathed a sigh of relief.

He never thought that one day he would be thankful for his short life.

At this moment, Zhu Yijun also looked at Zhu Youjian and Zhu Youxiao with an unhappy expression.

It was these two grandsons who brought him to this point.

Although he also wanted to blame Zhu Changluo, his unfulfilled son, he really couldn't find an excuse.

Zhu Changluo has only been in office for a month, so there is no way he can be blamed.

The only thing that can be blamed is that Zhu Changluo failed to teach these two unfilial grandsons well.

Immediately, Zhu Yijun looked at Zhu Changluo: "Nizi, what do you mean?"

"You mean this is all my fault?"

"Look at these two things you gave birth to."

"What a bunch of unscrupulous people who don't live up to their expectations."

"Incompetent bungler!"

After saying that, Zhu Yijun glared at Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian fiercely.

Hearing Zhu Yijun's words, Zhu Changluo was speechless.

This has nothing to do with him.

"Father, what you said makes no sense."

"I have no choice when this child grows up. What can I do?"

After saying that, Zhu Changluo lowered his head and closed his mouth.

He planned to not respond no matter what Zhu Yijun said next.

Anyway, Zhu Yuanzhang blamed the three of them, not him.

As long as he doesn't speak, the matter of the Ming Dynasty's fall will not be related to him.

"Zhu Changluo, traitor!"

"say something!"

"Why do not you speak!"

Zhu Yijun knew that there was no way to persuade the two unscrupulous men Zhu Youjian and Zhu Youxiao, so he could only talk to Zhu Changluo.

I hope Zhu Changluo can help him and stand on his side.

Maybe with the addition of Zhu Changluo, Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian may be able to find their way back.

I won't continue to be so disobedient.

But Zhu Changluo had made up his mind at this moment and would no longer participate in this matter.

So no matter what Zhu Yijun said, Zhu Changluo just stood there motionless without saying a word.

Looking at Zhu Changluo who was like a wooden man, Zhu Yijun was speechless.

He knew that even Zhu Changluo was not going to help him or stand on his side.

"Ugh"

Zhu Yijun sighed deeply.

Unexpectedly, no one came to help me at this time.

But he didn't know that Zhu Changluo was also very confused at this moment.

On one side is his father, on the other side is his son.

And maybe this matter will be brought to his own head.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo was also very tangled in his heart.

If the two don't help each other, standing aside and saying nothing is the best option.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yijun: "You have finished what you have to say."

"I want to ask you, what do you think about the fall of the Ming Dynasty?"

Listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Zhu Yijun's heart fell to the bottom.

But he still stiffened his neck and replied: "Taizu, the fall of the Ming Dynasty really has nothing to do with me."

"I have been dead for more than seventy years, and there is no such thing as the Ming Dynasty. Do you think this can be blamed on me?"

"If this can all be blamed on me, then I have nothing to say."

After speaking, Zhu Yijun raised his head as if he would never lower his head.

Looking at Zhu Yijun, Zhu Yuanzhang replied calmly: "Zhu Yijun, it's useless for you to say that it has nothing to do with you."

"Even if we say it has nothing to do with you, it's useless."

"The problem now is that people in later generations will say it has something to do with you."

"And it's not just one person saying this, it's a group of people saying this."

"Tell me, does this have anything to do with you?"

After hearing this, Zhu Yijun had no choice but to do anything.

Zhu Yuanzhang is right.

If it was just him who said it, or Zhu Yuanzhang said it, even if Zhu Youjian and Zhu Youxiao said it, it would have nothing to do with it.

Because each of them can only represent themselves.

Who can be sure that they are not selfish?

However, people in later generations said that this was a bit difficult to deal with.

People of later generations must have taken a relatively objective perspective.

Moreover, there is no conflict of interest between the descendants and Zhu Yijun.

They said that the reason for the fall of the Ming Dynasty was Wanli. This was clearly the result of their analysis.

This shows that many people still believe that the Wanli period will have a great impact on the future of the Ming Dynasty.

This effect is fatal enough.

Immediately, Zhu Yijun looked at Li Xiao.

He hoped that Li Xiao could stand up and say a few nice words to him.

If Li Xiao, a later generation, changed his story, then everything would be easy to talk about.

But if Li Xiao, a later generation, still insists like this, then Zhu Yijun really has no choice at all.

"Brother Li, please help me to be fair." Zhu Yijun looked at Li Xiao.

Hearing Zhu Yijun's address to Li Xiao, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious: "What is Brother Li!"

"Brother Li, is that what you call me?"

"You have to call him ancestor!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yijun's face was awkward.

Although he was very reluctant in his heart, he still had the courage to speak.

"Ancestor, can you help me say a few words of justice?"

Zhu Yijun said this with great difficulty.

Obviously, he made a lot of sacrifices by calling him Li Xiaozong.

Li Xiao was also stunned when he heard what Zhu Yijun called him. He did not expect that Zhu Yijun, as the emperor of the Ming Empire, would actually condescend to call him "ancestor".

It seems that in order to get rid of the reputation of the king of subjugation, Zhu Yijun has indeed tried every means.

But I am disappointed that Li Xiao will only tell the truth.

He won't change his mind just because of one or two words about ancestors.

Anyway, he has nothing to do with people like Zhu Yijun, so he doesn't need to care about their feelings at all.

"You don't have to be so polite to me."

"I don't have any descendants of the king who subjugated his country."

Li Xiao replied calmly.

Li Xiao's answer already explained his own attitude.

Hearing Li Xiao's words, Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and looked over, his eyes full of questioning.

Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang still wanted to seek Li Xiao's opinion on Zhu Yijun's characterization.

Unexpectedly, Li Xiao answered so simply and directly labeled Zhu Yijun as the king of subjugation.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang looking over, Li Xiao replied: "Brother, what are you looking at me for?"

"The Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun and the Tianqi Emperor Zhu Youxiao are both of the same nature."

"Although the Ming Dynasty did not directly perish in their hands, everything they did had a great impact on the demise of the Ming Dynasty."

"So, in my opinion."

"Emperor Zhu Yijun of Wanli and Emperor Zhu Youxiao of Tianqi were both the subjugated kings of the Ming Empire."

Zhu Yuanzhang was also stunned when he heard Li Xiao's words.

Good guy, I originally thought that the king of a subjugated country was just one person.

Unexpectedly, it has now increased to three people.

Immediately, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yijun, who was a little dull: "Zhu Yijun, what else do you have to say."

"You and Zhu Youxiao have the same nature. You are both the subjugated kings of the Ming Empire."

"And in our opinion, you are far worse than Zhu Youxiao."

"Logically speaking, with Zhang Juzheng's help, you should lead Ming Dynasty to a new level."

"But you pushed Ming Dynasty into another abyss."

After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little regretful.

After hearing so many people's stories before, he understood the significance of Zhang Juzheng to the Ming Dynasty.

If Zhang Juzheng had not been born out of nowhere, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty would have perished much faster.

Originally, under Zhang Juzheng's reforms, Ming Dynasty would definitely reach a new height.

However, Zhang Juzheng was jealous of talents and passed away before he could complete the thorough reform of Ming Dynasty.

If Zhang Juzheng could live ten more years, Ming Dynasty would be completely different.

It can even be said that.

The stain on the life of Emperor Wanli Zhu Yijun was half of his liquidation after Zhang Juzheng's death.

If Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun did not do that kind of thing to Zhang Juzheng, Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun's reputation would definitely improve a lot.

If Zhu Yijun, the Wanli Emperor at that time, could not hold back and whipped Zhang Juzheng's corpse.

I'm afraid that Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun has long since become a famous tyrant and coward in history.

For a person who could change the Ming Dynasty and change history to make such a move, Zhu Yijun was really hopeless.

Fortunately, Zhu Yijun finally listened to the dissuasion and did not do anything so extreme to Zhang Juzheng.

In the Wanli Dynasty, Zhang Juzheng should be the first contributor to the prosperity and resurgence of Wanli.

Even the Wanli Dynasty was able to have such a high historical evaluation because of the emergence of Zhang Juzheng.

But for such a talent, Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun liquidated him after his death.

This can be said to be Zhu Yijun's most serious mistake and the darkest stain.

After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment.

He didn't know how to answer.

Unexpectedly, he was labeled as the king of subjugation.

"Grandfather Taizu, you can't just make a conclusion like this."

"I, Wanli, have never been so miserable."

"The Wanli Dynasty was the richest and most stable in the history of the Ming Dynasty."

"It's obvious that Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian are two unsatisfactory people, so why did they involve me?"

"Besides, I have my own reasons for liquidating Zhang Juzheng."

Having said this, Zhu Yijun paused, seeming to be thinking about something.

Then, Zhu Yijun spoke slowly: "Grandpa Taizu, I sat on the throne of the Ming Empire when I was ten years old."

"But when I truly take control of the Ming Empire, do you know how old I am?"

"I will be thirty years old when I truly take control of the Ming Empire."

"I'm thirty years old!"

"For twenty years I have lived in other people's shadows and under other people's discipline."

"Sometimes I even feel that I am not the emperor of the Ming Empire."

"Zhang Juzheng is really the emperor of the Ming Empire."

"Tell me, can I tolerate Zhang Juzheng like this, Zhang Juzheng who wields so much power?"

After hearing Zhu Yijun's words, everyone fell silent.

Unexpectedly, there was such a thing between Emperor Wanli and Zhang Juzheng.

Zhu Yuanzhang also fell silent.

To be honest, if he were in Zhu Yijun's position, he would probably liquidate Zhang Juzheng.

No matter how much Zhang Juzheng contributed to Ming Dynasty, he would still take action against Zhang Juzheng.

Because Zhang Juzheng's light is so dazzling, and he has all the power.

This is probably something no emperor could bear.

After hearing Zhu Yijun's words, Li Xiao replied calmly: "Zhu Yijun, even if you put Zhang Juzheng aside, don't you have no fault?"

"You are lazy in politics and have not been in court for more than 20 years."

"You vacillate against the crown prince, causing the army of ministers in the DPRK and China to fight against each other."

"Could it be that Zhang Juzheng is also to blame for these things?"

Li Xiao actually didn't feel much about Zhu Yijun's words.

But Zhu Yijun, Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian are all the same. They all dare not look directly at the mistakes they have made.

It's not that they are the culprits, but they all have unshirkable responsibilities.

Zhu Yijun, Zhu Youjian, and Zhu Youxiao, their grandfathers and grandsons, were all unwilling to admit their mistakes.

Even if the mistake is admitted, it is nothing more than a minor problem.

They still refused to admit it.

After hearing Li Xiao's words, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yijun again: "You heard what Li Xiao just said."

"Don't you want to say something about this?"

When Zhu Yijun heard this, he opened his mouth but did not say a word.

What Li Xiao said was true. He had no way to refute it, and he was too embarrassed to refute it.

Zhu Yijun also knew very well that apart from Zhang Juzheng, he had indeed made many mistakes.

But he also knew very well that as long as he admitted it, the title of King of Subjugation would be his.

So Zhu Yijun would not admit it even to death.

He turned to look at Zhu Youjian and Zhu Youxiao, and sighed slightly.

He began to understand Zhu Youjian and Zhu Youxiao somewhat.

As an emperor, who would want to be called the king of the country's subjugation?

The best way now is to continue to put this responsibility on others.

Zhu Yijun thought for a moment and then said, "Grandpa Taizu."

"I think you have to ask my grandfather Jiajing about the fall of the Ming Dynasty."
