When the emperor comes to modern times, history collapses!

Chapter 162: 'Calling Your Highness' Zhu Qiyu
Yu Qian and others watched the video and felt extremely ashamed!
No matter what, Zhu Qizhen was the emperor assisted by himself and others. No matter what kind of emperor he was, he was the representative of the court.

The ministers are ashamed that the representative figures of this dynasty are so shameless!

At the same time, I was burning with anger.

How dare he continue to live!
If you see someone being captured immediately and then drawing his sword to commit suicide, that would be a good story.

If he refused to cooperate with Yesen, regardless of life or death, it would still be understandable.

But you cooperated with Yesen so readily, helped blackmail the Ming Dynasty, and even cooperated in knocking on the door. You have no bottom line and do not care about the safety of the Ming Dynasty at all.

This is not something a Ming Dynasty emperor could do!
In the Song Dynasty, he would definitely be at the level of Emperor Huizong of Song and Emperor Qinzong of Song, or even better!
"Shame, shame on the Ming Dynasty!"

"I never thought that the original Tumubao would develop into this. Fortunately, His Majesty brought people to help and directly wiped out Yesen and others!"

"If it's really like what's shown in the video, the Ming Dynasty might be in danger!"

"Thanks to the blessing of our ancestors, Your Majesty, I will go to your mausoleum to burn some incense and paper money when I get back!"

"I will burn more paper figures. Maybe Your Majesty can build a kingdom in the underworld!"

"I thought the Ming Dynasty was about to face a catastrophe, but I didn't expect it to be the blessing of our ancestors!"

In the video.

Yesen led a large army to the capital.

The court was shocked!

Some people advocated moving south, believing that no matter how bad the situation was, they could still rule the country by dividing the river.

Some people think that they should spend a lot of money to satisfy Yesen's wish and get Zhu Qizhen back.

There were also ministers like Yu Qian who strongly opposed the proposal of moving south and insisted on holding on.

In the video, Yu Qian turned the tide, reorganized the military, deployed key points, personally supervised the battle, led an army of 220,000, and lined up outside the nine gates of Beijing to resist the Wala army.

The Oirat Grand Master Yesen threatened Yingzong to make peace, but Yu Qian refused on the grounds that "the country is more important than the emperor".

Finally defeated Yesen, saved the capital, and resolved the crisis of the Ming Dynasty!
"Master Yu is truly a role model for our generation. He has turned the tide with all his might. I admire you!"

"As expected of you, you are Young Master Yu. You deserve the title!"

"I have always believed that Brother Yu is a very talented person, but I never thought that he could achieve such a level. It makes me ashamed!"

After several ministers who came with Yu Qian saw this video.

Do you know why Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di were both very grateful to Yu Qian? This was a tremendous achievement that helped prolong the life of the Ming Dynasty. It will surely rise rapidly in the future!

Yu Qian was also stunned, looking at the cartoon character in the video.

He led his army out of the city, cut off the retreat, and fought a life-and-death battle with Yesen.

If it wasn't for himself, Yu Qian would have praised him as "a capable minister of all ages!"

If I think about it, if it really develops to that point, it would be impossible to move south, but it is also very possible to lead troops out of the city to fight. As expected, I still have a strong sense of professional ethics. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that it would be great if Zhu Qizhen was the same as me.

Zhu Di personally poured tea for Yu Qian: "Come, come, have some tea."

Yu Qian stared at the video and found that the progress bar below was still a little long. He couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, is this video not finished yet?"

Zhu Di nodded: "As expected of you, you are Yu Shaobao, you observe very carefully, there is another paragraph below!"

Zhu Qizhen lived a very comfortable life while studying abroad.

In the tribe, it is definitely the top life.

I sleep until I wake up naturally, and when I have nothing to do, I go hunting.

I can drink goat and cow milk as much as I want, but I can eat meat until I feel like vomiting.

Someone treated me to dinner every few days, and my weight soared. I gained a lot of weight in just one year.

Later he was sent back by Yesen.

Zhu Qiyu, who had become the new emperor, naturally would not give up the throne and imprisoned Zhu Qizhen.

I originally thought that was it, but looking at the progress bar, Yu Qian felt that things might have twists and turns.

Sure enough, a few years later, Zhu Qizhen successfully restored the throne!

Sit on the dragon throne again.

And, purge the previous ministers.

When Yu Qian saw that he was being beheaded in the place where he had once fought bravely to protect Kyoto, he could not help but clench his fists.

When he saw that his property was searched and the valuables were gifts from several emperors, he couldn't help laughing.

"I am an upright and honest person, and I have not let down the Ming Dynasty!"

Old Zhu said with emotion: "Sir, you are right. It is the Ming Dynasty that has failed you!"

"Fortunately, nothing has happened yet. In the Battle of Tumubao, the Ming Dynasty completely wiped out the Oirat. There will never be another shame like the Battle of Tumubao in history. Moreover, Zhu Qizhen has been removed from my family tree. He is not worthy of being a member of the Ming royal family, let alone the emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Fourth Brother, let's go to the orthodox Ming Dynasty now, depose Zhu Qizhen, and let Zhu Qiyu temporarily take over as emperor. If Zhu Qiyu is not capable of doing that, we will depose him next. There are so many descendants of the old Zhu family, I don't believe we can't find a suitable one. If it really doesn't work, send one from us!"

Orthodox Ming Dynasty
Yu Qian and others returned to the palace.

"Your Highness Prince Qing, we have confirmed that the person outside is indeed His Majesty Taizong!"

The other ministers were all shocked. After serving in the same court for so many years, they still understood each other.

I know that Yu Qian is not the kind of person who speaks out without restraint.

However, it is hard to believe that Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di, has passed away for many years.

Zhu Qiyu took a breath and said, "Minister Yu, do you know what you are talking about?"

Yu Qian nodded: "I know what I am saying. This matter is too strange. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't dare to believe it."

"Hundreds of years later, there was a strange man who could travel through time and could also lead others across the long river of time."

"According to the original history, our dynasty suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Tumu Fort. His Majesty Taizong outside was brought here from the Yongle period to help our dynasty rewrite the tragedy!"

Xu Youzhen said mockingly, "Master Yu still smells of alcohol. Could he be drunk and talking nonsense? How is it possible that someone can transcend time?"

Zhang Fu said, "I would not have believed it before. It is hard to believe without my own experience. But not believing it does not mean it does not exist. Besides, the million-strong army outside is fake. With a million armored troops, it is not impossible to conquer the Ming Dynasty. There is really no need to lie!"

Zhu Qiyu frowned and asked, "Can the capital city resist a million-strong army?"

Zhang Fu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The enemy's artillery is more powerful than ours. With hundreds of artillery, it is no problem to knock down the city wall. Without the city wall, even if there are hundreds of thousands of troops in the city, they are no match. It's not that I want to inspire others to be more powerful than myself, but the enemy can attack directly from the air. That's how Wala Yesen was defeated!"

Zhu Yong nodded and said, "The enemy has a kind of black bird that can drop gunpowder directly from the sky. King Qing, you can imagine that hundreds of Kongming lanterns fly into the sky, and people stand on them to look at Kyoto. They can throw gunpowder where there are many people. With the help of a million troops on the ground, they can't resist at all!"

Just by imagining it, Zhu Qiyu knew that Kyoto could not be defended in a head-on confrontation.

He stood up and said, "My brother asked me to be the regent. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing. Even my brother is in their hands. I will go out of the city to see you personally. I hope what you said is true. If I don't come back, you can choose another wise leader among the royal family. Don't worry about me!"

Zhu Qiyu led a few people out of the city gate and came to Zhu Di's tent. The ancient portrait is a bit abstract.

Zhu Qiyu couldn't recognize them, so he specially brought along a few ministers who were quite old.

These people have been officials since the Hongwu period and have met Zhu Yuanzhang.

Seeing the two familiar faces of Lao Zhu and Zhu Di, his body couldn't help but tremble.

The two great killers, especially Lao Zhu, reminded them of the time when they had to spend every penny and ordered a coffin in advance at home.

Old Zhu narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "You are Zhu Qiyu, you look pretty good!"

Zhu Qiyu held his head high and said, "It is me, the king. I want to see my brother!"

Old Zhu smiled grimly: "Don't worry, you will see him soon. I didn't expect you to be so stupid that you actually came. If we catch you, we can force the gatekeepers to open the city gates. Then we can overthrow the Ming Dynasty in an instant!"

Zhu Qiyu cursed in his heart, you guys are ganging up on me, what kind of ancestor is this, he is here to kill me, on the surface he smiled faintly: "I'm afraid you will be disappointed, before I came here, I have already arranged my funeral affairs, even if I am killed, the Ming Dynasty will immediately appoint a new king, and fight to the end!"

Old Zhu laughed: "Anyone can say nice things. Come on, push him to the front of the battle line and ask him to open the city gate for us!"

Zhu Qiyu was furious: "Don't even think about it. I will never do such a thing even if I die!"

As he said this, Zhu Qiyu took out a dagger and was about to slit his throat.

"Snapped!"

Zhu Di was quick-witted and knocked the dagger away.

"If you want to die, you have to see if I agree. Someone, take his arm off and push him to the front of the battle!"

Zhu Qiyu was tied to a wooden stick.

Zhu Di led his army to the outside of the city gate.

"Boy, tell me to open the city gates, or I will let you die from a hail of arrows through your heart!"

Zhu Qiyu angrily cursed: "The traitor has misled me, the traitor has misled me. If you want me to open the city gates, just give up on this idea!"

Thinking of what Zhang Fu, Yu Qian and others had said before, Zhu Qiyu felt that they had all betrayed him.

Cursing in the scorching sun!

Zhu Di called Li Jinglong and said, "You are the best archer. Shoot a few arrows at him and I guarantee you will scare him!"

Li Jinglong said confidently: "Don't worry, Marshal, I will take care of it!"

Putting on his bow and arrow, Li Jinglong shouted to Zhu Qiyu: "Your Highness, Prince of Qing, a man who knows the current situation is a hero. Just shout a few times and show my commander your feelings. Then you can live a worry-free life. Why do you insist?"

"What's more, the Ming Dynasty is simply unable to resist our army. Even if Your Highness insists, it won't change anything. You will end up with your entire family being executed or being tortured to death. Why bother? Even if Your Highness doesn't care about yourself, you have to think about your wife and children!"

Zhu Qiyu angrily rebuked Li Jinglong: "Stop talking nonsense and shoot your arrows. If I frown, I will lose!"

Li Jinglong pulled the bowstring, took aim, and shot an arrow.

The flying arrow was stuck on the wooden stick, close to Zhu Qiyu's neck.

Feeling the coldness coming from the side of his neck, Zhu Qiyu broke out in a cold sweat.

Just now, I really thought I was dead.

It would be a lie to say that I am not afraid.

Li Jinglong said in annoyance: "Damn it, the wind suddenly started to blow. It seems that God has given you another chance, Your Highness. If you don't take what God gives you, you will be blamed. If you don't take it when the time comes, you will suffer the consequences. In fact, our Marshal is a descendant of Jianwen, and we are all members of the Zhu family. Why do you insist on it, Your Highness!"

Zhu Qiyu suddenly realized: "So you are the descendants of Jianwen. Back then, Zhu Yunwen had a strong army and a million soldiers, but he was no match for Taizong. Now his descendants are definitely no match for Taizong's descendants. By the way, is your general surnamed Li, a descendant of Li Jinglong?"

Li Jinglong was stunned for a moment, then shot three arrows in quick succession, all of which hit Zhu Qiyu's skin.

"This is your last chance. If you shout a few words, you will have wealth and splendor for the rest of your life. Your wife and children will also enjoy the wealth and splendor. Otherwise, your wife will be sent to the Jiaosifang and your son will be executed by slow slicing. What do you want? Even if you want to leave your name, you must know that history books are written by the victors. If you do that, you will be the culprit who is stubborn and has plunged the Ming Dynasty into civil war. You will be a sinner for all eternity!"

Old Zhu and Zhu Di watched quietly, thinking that what he said really made sense. If it were me, I would probably agree!

Of course, my agreement doesn't mean you will agree.

Zhu Qiyu laughed loudly and said, "I don't believe you can stop the people from talking nonsense. Stop talking nonsense and shoot your arrows!"

After saying this, Zhu Qiyu fell into a coma due to the excessive sun exposure and huge psychological fluctuations.

On the city gate

Zhu Di's military action shocked the orthodox Ming Dynasty court.

Many ministers came to the top of the city wall.

Zhu Qiyu was seen tied to a wooden stick and was asked to knock on the door.

Many ministers were so angry that they started cursing.

Especially Zhang Fu and Yu Qian.

They all say that the person outside is Zhu Di.

Could Zhu Di treat his great-grandson like this?
"You guys actually colluded with the rebels. I was so blinded by your greed that I almost believed your lies!"

"The late emperor treated you well, yet you did such a thing? How dare you stand here!"

Some people are also afraid of the millions of troops outside.

He suggested, "According to what is said outside, they are descendants of Emperor Jianwen, but in fact they are descendants of Emperor Taizu. It is still the Zhu family's kingdom. There is no need to fight to the death!"

"It's not that I'm afraid, I just can't bear to see the internal strife in the Ming Dynasty. How about we negotiate peace with them?"

Zhang Fu was stunned: "Impossible, it's clearly Taizu and Taizong outside. I have confirmed it, it can't be the Jianwen lineage!"

Yu Qian knew clearly why Zhu Qiyu was tied up and asked to knock on the door.

That’s because in the original history, there appeared an Emperor named Men.

This was a test for Zhu Di and others.

If Zhu Qiyu also knocked on the door, no matter what, he would definitely be deducted a lot of points and would basically have no chance of becoming the emperor.

Yu Qian couldn't help but look at Li Jinglong.

Is it really okay for you to tempt me like this? What you said does make sense. If it were me, I would probably just grit my teeth and give up. It can not only guarantee future wealth and glory, but also prevent the Ming Dynasty from civil war and save the people from suffering from the war. It is good for both myself and the Ming Dynasty!
In the tent.

Zhu Qiyu slowly opened his eyes and looked around curiously: "Could this be the underworld? Why does it look like a military camp?"

The soldier in charge of guarding Zhu Qiyu ran out immediately when he saw him wake up.

A few minutes later.

Old Zhu walked in with a happy face: "Haha, you woke up so soon, it seems that your great-great-grandson is in good health. I am your great-great-grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang, come and call me Grandpa!"
