Chapter 1: I am Zhu Youxiao?
Zhu Yu is a 21st century graduate student. That day he was thinking about a math problem, but unfortunately he was overdrawn and was carried into the hospital.
Zhu Yu, who was lying on the hospital bed, had a blur before his eyes and was in a daze for a long time. When his vision returned to normal, he was frightened to find that he was actually wearing a dragon robe and standing on the altar. There were guys wearing official uniforms and some unrecognizable uniforms around him.
"Your Majesty, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven has been completed. It's time to go back to Huangji Gate to accept the bowing of all officials." A guy wearing eunuch's clothes said to Zhu Yu.
Sacrifice to heaven? What kind of sacrifice to heaven?
emperor?
Have I become the emperor?
Zhu Yu looked at him in shock. All the officials were solemn and stood alone, all of them staring at him. Zhu Yu suddenly had the urge to think about shit. He was a fake! If he was discovered, would he be dismissed?
Thinking of this terrible result, Zhu Yu shivered all over. Then he got on the car with the support of the eunuch and returned to the palace all the way.
Zhu Yu looked carefully and saw that this was the last generation of the next generation?
It seems that I have really traveled through time, but I don’t know which dynasty I went to. After careful observation, Zhu Yu did not find any braids and black official uniforms in the Qing Palace drama.
As a science graduate student, although Zhu Yu did not know much about history, he still had certain common sense. He established his capital in Beijing in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it was either the Qing dynasty, which was naturally the Ming dynasty.
But he didn't know when he had traveled to the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Yu felt uneasy. Then the emperor's carriage entered the Tai Chi Gate, which was the Taihe Gate in later generations. A group of eunuchs played rituals and music. Then, with the support of two eunuchs, Zhu Yu sat on the dragon throne that countless people had dreamed of, and then accepted worship from all officials.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The officials knelt on the ground and shouted long live. Zhu Yu looked around and asked the eunuch beside him, "Well, what is my year name?"
"Your Majesty, are you changing the Age of the Age of Revelation? This year is the first year of Taichang, and next year is the first year of the Age of Revelation." The eunuch next to him replied.
Apocalypse!
After hearing these two words, Zhu Yu couldn't help but widen his eyes. Although he was not very familiar with history, Emperor Tianqi still knew it. Isn't the famous carpenter emperor Zhu Youxiao?
The legendary tyrant ruler favored Wei Zhongxian and even harmed the Chaogang. Later, it seemed that because he was too high, he died seven years after he succeeded to the throne, and was only twenty-one years old.
Oh my God! How could I travel to Emperor Tianqi? Doesn’t this mean that I only have seven years to live? After my death, Zhu Youjian succeeded to the throne and changed his reign to Chongzhen. After more than ten years, Beijing was captured by Li Zicheng, and the Ming Dynasty fell, and then the Qing Dynasty entered the pass.
"Your Majesty, please calm all the ministers." The eunuch next to him saw the emperor wandering around, quickly pulled his sleeve and reminded Zhu Yu.
"Oh, oh!" Zhu Yu quickly came to his senses and shouted to the civil and military officials kneeling below: "Flat."
"Thank you, the emperor." The officials immediately stood up.
This day was the day when Zhu Youxiao officially ascended the throne, but he didn't want to become Zhu Yu, who had traveled through time in the 21st century. Zhu Yu, who became emperor, was a little frightened and afraid that he would be exposed, and then he was a little excited.
I am the emperor! Who dares to expose myself? As long as I read more and talk less, there should be no problem.
The biggest problem at present is that the Ming Dynasty is about to collapse, and he should learn from his lessons. He cannot let Wei Zhongxian create an eunuch party. He must use the Donglin Party members, so the Ming Dynasty should not perish. Zhu Yu, who had just traveled through time, naturally did not know that the Donglin Party was the real disaster.
"From today on, I am Zhu Youxiao. Brother is a time traveler. As long as you don't make low-level mistakes, will the Ming Dynasty still perish?" Zhu Yu was full of confidence and decided to hide his name deep in his memory.
Xibei Zhu Youxiao immediately began his career as an emperor.
Zhu Youxiao, who had just succeeded to the throne, began to become familiar with the surrounding environment.
Soon Zhu Youxiao learned the names of the two eunuchs around him, one was Li Jinzhong, who was his confidant eunuch. The other was Wang An, who was the confidant eunuch who died one month after he succeeded to the throne. Li Jinzhong is now a eunuch at the Sili Supervisor, while Wang An is the eunuch in charge of the seal of the Sili Supervisor.
My daily life was handled by a woman in her thirties. I secretly asked the little eunuch and found out that this woman was the famous Keshi in history.
Keshi is Zhu Youxiao's wet nurse. Historical books record that Keshi and Wei Zhongxian were eating in the palace and had an ambiguous relationship with the emperor.
However, Zhu Youxiao did not find any ambiguous things. Keshi took care of his daily life diligently every day, and was very dedicated.
Where is Wei Zhongxian?
"Li Jinzhong, is there an eunuch named Wei Zhongxian in the palace?" Zhu Youxiao slept in the East Warehouse of Qianqing Palace that night and asked Li Jinzhong, the eunuch who was in his thirties, beside him.
Li Jinzhong was stunned for a while and said, "Your Majesty, I am Wei Zhongxian, but this is the name of the slave before he entered the palace."
Zhu Youxiao looked at Li Jinzhong in horror, and never expected that Li Jinzhong would be Wei Zhongxian who might kill him in the future.
"How old are you when you entered the palace?" Zhu Youxiao came to his senses and tentatively asked Li Jinzhong.
"I entered the palace at the age of five, and later studied in the palace school for eight years." Li Jinzhong replied. Zhu Youxiao was stunned when he heard this. Why is it different from what has been circulated in later generations?
It is widely circulated in later generations that Wei Zhongxian entered the palace halfway. Before entering the palace, he was a gangster. He lost all his money because of gambling and had no choice but to enter the palace. And he had no culture, and he still had half of his testicles after entering the palace.
It seems that the historical description of Keshi and Wei Zhongxian are not very correct! For a moment, Zhu Youxiao was a little messy and confused. What's going on?
I thought about it all night but didn't understand.
The next day, Zhu Youxiao began to experience in the palace life carefully. It turned out that his three meals were not luxurious, basically all three dishes and one soup, and he was completely without the emperor's style.
"Wang An, why is my three meals so shabby?" Zhu Youxiao was unhappy. China in the Ming Dynasty should have been very wealthy. Why did the emperor's three meals be the same as ordinary rich people? Compared with the food of the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, especially the old witch Cixi, it was a world of difference.
"Report to the emperor, there is not much silver in the treasury." Wang An said to Zhu Youxiao that the treasury is the small treasury of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the national treasury is called the Taicang warehouse, which is managed by the Ministry of Revenue.
"No way! Is there no money?" Zhu Youxiao looked disbelieving. Isn't there any rumor that Li Zicheng invaded Beijing and found tens of millions of taels of silver from the treasury?
"Your Majesty, you really have no money. In less than a month, the two emperors passed away and the two emperors ascended the throne. The throne ceremony, the construction of the imperial tomb, and the Huangji Palace was burned to pieces before. It was being rebuilt at this time. These are all huge. Now there are less than 30,000 taels of silver left in the treasury, and not even enough money for the rebuilding of the Huangji Palace." Wang An said: "So, please save money for a while and wait for the Taicang warehouse to withdraw some silver."
"I, my god!" Zhu Youxiao was depressed and speechless. How could the emperor be so poor? Zhu Youxiao suddenly remembered a sentence in history books - the Ming Dynasty fell, and the financial bankruptcy was caused by financial failure.
This made Zhu Youxiao realize in an instant that it seemed that to save the Ming Dynasty, one must first improve the finances. As long as one pays attention to his health, do not die on the woman's belly, and improves the finances, he should not become the last emperor!
Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao got up early the next morning when he was in court, washed up and went to Huangji Gate to accept the courtesy of all officials.
