How did you, a prisoner on death row, become an important weapon of the country? Yecheng Gao Weiming

After listening to the three stories told by Shen Lian, Zhu Youjian's eyes were dull and he stayed there for a long time.

There were huge waves in his mind and heart.

Perhaps Shen Lian no longer needed to answer him as to why these people rebelled.

How could Zhu Youjian not understand yet.

Three stories, three levels, three same results.

Farmer Zhao San's family was destroyed, and he had to embark on the road of rebellion in the face of the group of man-eating demons.

Gentleman Li Er originally wanted to be a wealthy man living in a corner, but he didn't expect that having food was the original sin and the best reason for his family's demise.

If he doesn't resist, will he be cooked into broth along with King Fu?

The county magistrate Chen Da was originally a Confucian scholar who was well-read in poetry and full of ideals. However, after jumping into the dark vat of Ming Dynasty officialdom, he became a corrupt official in less than a year.

why!

Why is all this happening?

Zhu Youjian already had a vague answer in his heart.

Because what works is effective and because of the cannibalistic system!

When an empire begins to demand too much from its people, that is the moment when the empire will perish.

People are the kindest people.

As long as they have something to eat and can survive, they will not rebel.

It can start from me, Zhu Youjian, to the chief assistant of the cabinet, ministers of various ministries, vassal kings in various places, and officials at all levels.

From top to bottom!

Which one is not desperately sucking up their blood.

When the people are desperate and Yi Zi cannibalize each other, what else can they do but rebel?

Tighten your belt, would you rather starve to death than help me resist the establishment of slaves?

Hahahaha!

How can there be such despicable and stupid people in the world.

He finally understood that even if Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others did not exist, there would still be rebel leaders like Wang Zicheng and Liu Xianzhong who would lead everyone to rise up.

Isn’t this the case in all dynasties and generations in history?

Lessons from the collapse of the Qin, Han, and Yuan dynasties.

Not enough?

Hongwu's grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang rebelled because he could no longer survive.

The reasons for the collapse of the Ming Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty were exactly the same.

The only difference is that they have survived for more than a hundred years.

Zhu Youjian smiled absentmindedly.

He finally understood why the emperor's sister-in-law Zhang Yan had just asked him.

Is it wrong?

Now, I can finally answer you.

I made a mistake!

It started from the time I tried to usurp the throne, from the time I worked hard to govern, from the time I spent seventeen years of sleepless nights!

I was wrong!

Big mistake!

"emperor……"

Seeing Zhu Youjian crying and laughing like crazy, Shen Lian sighed deeply.

"Do you still need Shen to go back and ask King Chuang? Ask King Chuang why he rebelled?"

Zhu Youjian finally recovered and shook his head bitterly.

"No need to ask! Shen Lian, I...I already know everything...I am responsible for everything..."

"Hmph, you wish you damn well knew!"

Pei Lun on the side couldn't help but snorted coldly.

"Zhu Youjian, these are just three things that my brother saw with his own eyes, and I also experienced them myself!"

"But you have to know that the Ming Dynasty had tens of millions of people and tens of thousands of miles of territory, and the same tragic things happened everywhere."

"You said that you have been sitting on the throne for seventeen years, and you have kept your word and taken care of the herdsmen! What kind of face do you have to put all the responsibilities on the ministers and the common people?"

"Sun Chengzong, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao, Sun Yuanhua, and even Yuan Chonghuan!!!"

"Zhu Youjian, ask yourself, you are damn right! Get up! Who?"

Zhu Youjian felt like he was mourning and couldn't say another word.

Pei Lun wanted to curse, but Shen Lian gave him a hand.

It's getting late!

If we delay any longer, who knows what else will happen.

The two looked at each other and planned to capture Zhu Youjian while he was stunned.

Unexpectedly, he just took one step.

Zhu Youjian, who was originally in a daze, suddenly raised his head, with a pleading look on his face.

"Shen Lian, Pei Lun! I...I know I was wrong, and I already understand it!"

"Please, can you...can you save some dignity for me, and leave the last bit of...respect for Ming Dynasty!"

As he spoke, Zhu Youjian almost knelt down, but was held tightly by Wang Chengen on the side.

The old eunuch Wang Chengen knelt down in front of Shen Lian and Pei Lun, crying and shouting.

"Master Shen, Master Pei!"

"After all, you have also been servants in the Imperial City for a few years, and you can be considered a subject of the Ming Dynasty."

"Please, give the emperor some dignity! Just let him go like this, okay?"

"This……"

Faced with Zhu Youjian's pleading and Wang Chengen's crying, Shen Lian stopped again.

He looked at Pei Lun with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Pei Lun's face didn't look good either.

If Zhu Youjian is not captured alive, he will not be able to claim great credit in front of King Chuang.

They may even be severely punished for dereliction of duty.

But again.

The words of Zhu Youjian and Wang Chengen also deeply hurt Pei Lun's heart.

decent!

The dignity of a last emperor.

This reminded him of the tragedy of the Northern Song Dynasty and the shame of Jingkang.

The father and son Huizong and Qinzong of the Song Dynasty were kidnapped by the Jin people and robbed of their hometown. They were even more shameful and humiliated by the sheep-raising ceremony.

Could it be that Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian was also allowed to experience such shame?

Did the Ming Dynasty, which had been glorious for more than 200 years, come to such an unbearable end?

Both Pei Lun and Shen Lian understood King Chuang's nature.

It's nonsense to treat others with courtesy even if they are courteous.

What kind of broad mind can you ask of a Chuang Wang who was born as a peasant gangster?

Once Chongzhen is captured alive, he will face a more tragic end than Emperor Jingkang.

and so……

Pei Lun was also speechless. The two of them looked at each other and at the same time looked at Feng Kanyu who was silent.

Son, how about you make the decision?

He is your father-killing enemy, and the culprit behind the destruction of Huangling Town in Tianshou Mountain.

How about you decide his final fate?

Feng Kanyu stood there and listened quietly to the three stories told by Uncle Shen, with mixed feelings.

He was only in his twenties, but he had seen cannibalism countless times in the past seventeen years.

That kind of unforgettable memory made him unforgettable for the rest of his life.

He originally thought that after breaking into the capital, Zhu Youjian, the enemy who killed his father, would also experience the misery of the people.

But when he actually stood in front of this thirty-year-old emperor...

He understands.

Natural and man-made disasters, alien invasions, civil unrest in various places...

How ridiculous it would be to blame all the mistakes on a diligent and stupid emperor.

Zhu Youjian is not a wise master, let alone a faint king, he is just a poor man who was pushed up by the times and fate.

Feng Kanyu remembered what his father said to Shen Lian.

The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country!

There was no emperor who escaped in the Ming Dynasty.

If Zhu Youjian wanted to escape, how could he be blocked by three people on Long Live Mountain?

After a moment of silence, Feng Kanyu took a deep breath.

"Uncle Shen and Uncle Pei, he is the murderer of my father and the culprit of the destruction of Huangling Town."

"He...as long as he dies today, I will have an explanation for my father and the people in Huangling Town!"

After saying that, Feng Kanyu turned around and couldn't bear to look anymore.

Hearing this, Shen Lian and Pei Lun also smiled lightly and turned around as well.

decent!

Might as well give the Ming Dynasty a final dignity.

When Zhu Youjian saw this, he was extremely happy.

"Thank you, thank you!"

He murmured with tears streaming down his face, not daring to waste another second, stepped on the bluestone, and then put his head into the jade belt.
