The video takes us to ancient times; Li Er transforms into the Tongtian Emperor of Shu Han.

"Fuck you!"

Old Zhu threw out another teacup.

At this moment, he no longer cared about being disrespectful to the immortals.

The more he looked at Zhu Qizhen, the more he wanted to kill him with his own hands!

Don't you have any swords or knives?

After it was determined that our army was doomed to defeat, shouldn't you, as the emperor, have sacrificed yourself for your country?

How could the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty be captured by the Oirats!

Have you forgotten how your ancestors seized this world from the Mongol Yuan dynasty?

You're really something else!

You just wait. If I'm lucky enough to be chosen by an immortal to participate in your challenge, see if I won't personally torture you to death!

"Captured on the battlefield?"

"Still not resisting?"

"Haha, Old Zhu, your offspring don't look so promising either."

"What I'm saying is, although Emperors Huizong and Qinzong were also incompetent, you, their descendant, are in a similar predicament!"

Zhao Kuangyin was still smiling.

His mouth was practically stretched to his ears.

It turns out that it's so satisfying to see others make a fool of themselves!

He finally understood the expressions on the faces of the other emperors when they saw the assessments of Emperors Huizong and Qinzong!

This feels great!

"Similar in effect but different in approach?"

"That would be even more humiliating!"

"They were already outmatched, and at the beginning they had an overwhelming advantage, but in the end, due to completely wrong decisions, they lost the entire army, and he himself was willing to be captured."

"Such a person is not only unfit to be an emperor, he is not even fit to be a human being!"

Ying Zheng snorted coldly.

He must have felt the most resentment towards the tribes outside the Great Wall.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have built the Great Wall to defend against foreign enemies.

Seeing that Zhu Qizhen was squandering his advantage, he was eventually captured.

He wasn't in a laughingstock mood; instead, he was filled with anger at their lack of ambition.

How could the emperor of the Central Plains do such a humiliating thing!

These words made all the emperors of the Zhu family feel ashamed.

Indeed, it is even more shameful!

"Go ahead and curse, we'll take it all."

"I only ask that the person chosen by the immortals to enter this challenge kill this bastard for us!"

Old Zhu said, forcing himself to speak.

He knew that he might not be chosen by the immortals.

So he settled for second best: whoever was chosen by the immortals, he hoped that Zhu Qizhen wouldn't die too easily!

He refuses to acknowledge that such a scoundrel is a descendant of the Zhu family!

"Rest assured, such an emperor is also a disgrace to us."

"To be emperor alongside him is a disgrace to me!"

Although Liu Bang believed he had been shameless enough.

However, Zhu Qizhen was not only shameless, he had even lost the sense of shame that an emperor should have.

"I hope the immortal chooses me. I have nine ways to kill this shameless thing. Although they are reserved for Liu Bang, that despicable villain, it wouldn't hurt to test them on this kind of person first."

Liu Bang: "?"

What use is it to me?

However, no matter how much they argued, the tally on the sky was not yet over.

A debate arose among the Oirat people regarding how to deal with Zhu Qizhen, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Some people think he should be beheaded in public to boost morale.

Some people believe that keeping this emperor in their hands could serve as a bargaining chip to restrain the Ming Dynasty.

Ultimately, the latter's proposal was adopted by Esen.

When news of the outcome of the Battle of Tumu reached Kyoto, it caused a great stir.

Many civil officials suggested moving the capital south, since the elite troops of the capital garrison had been almost entirely wiped out in this battle.

Once the Oirat Mongols crossed the Zijing Pass, the capital city was powerless to resist them.

However, the pro-war faction, led by Yu Qian, the Minister of War, felt that they could not back down.

Once the Oirat Mongols retreat, it will be virtually impossible to recover the lost territory!

At that time, the Ming Dynasty would become the second Southern Song Dynasty.

Under Yu Qian's intervention, Empress Dowager Sun had no choice but to agree to enthrone Zhu Qiyu and honor the captured Zhu Qizhen as the Retired Emperor.

The scene changes again at this moment.

"The nation is of paramount importance, the ruler is secondary!"

"The Oirats have brought His Majesty here to force our Great Ming Dynasty to back down; their intentions are despicable!"

"If we retreat now, we will only be able to retreat again and again. The Oirat army will never return His Majesty because of this. They will only press forward step by step. What should we do then?"

“Prince Zhu Qiyu of Cheng has always been virtuous and talented. I propose that we support Prince Zhu Qiyu to ascend the throne and organize the army in the capital to resist the Oirat army.”

"This step is one we absolutely cannot back down from!"

Throughout the court, only Yu Qian's voice echoed.

All the civil and military officials were shocked by his words.

His Majesty has just been captured, and you're already trying to install a new emperor?

Isn't that a bit too hasty?

If the Oirats suddenly lose their minds and release His Majesty, you could be sentenced to death just for what you said!

"Why not let the Crown Prince ascend the throne first, and have the Prince of Cheng oversee the state?"

Someone suggested a compromise.

However, this idea was rejected by the vast majority of people as soon as it was proposed.

Either wait for His Majesty's return, or let the Prince of Cheng ascend the throne.

The crown prince is young, the ruler is inexperienced, the country is in turmoil, and there are powerful enemies outside; this is definitely a sign of the country's demise.

Even if the crown prince's succession to the throne was legitimate, no one dared to gamble on it.

In the imperial court, Empress Dowager Sun, being a woman, was forced to agree to support Prince Cheng, Zhu Qiyu, to ascend the throne after being advised by ministers led by Yu Qian.

at the same time.

The screen is divided into two ends.

Esen's Oirat army marched straight in.

They encountered almost no decent resistance at Zijing Pass.

All of this was because they had taken Zhu Qizhen hostage. With Zhu Qizhen knocking on the door for them, the Ming soldiers dared not resist at all!

Once the pass was breached, the Oirat army marched straight in, heading directly for the capital.

Under these circumstances, Zhu Qizhen took most of the equipment from the Beijing garrison when he went on his expedition.

Currently, the Beijing garrison not only lacks many usable soldiers, but also suffers from a shortage of equipment!

Despite the crisis, Yu Qian remained calm and mobilized laborers to expedite the construction of weapons. At the same time, he also gathered a large army from surrounding cities and stationed it outside the capital.

Upon learning that the Oirat army had breached the Zijing Pass, many civil and military officials suggested that even if they did not march south, they should gather all their troops back into the capital to defend it.

At this moment, it was once again Yu Qian, the Minister of War, who stepped forward!

"Emperor Taizu drove out the Tartars and restored the Central Plains, Emperor Taizong sealed the wolf's lair, and the late Emperor Xuanzong also repeatedly conquered the northern deserts and returned victorious."

"Now that it's in our hands, are we really going to avoid the brunt of this small tribe, the Oirat?"

"Regardless of what you all think, I only know that if the Oirats are allowed to run rampant within my borders, even if I die, I will have no face to face the late Emperor!"

His words filled all the civil and military officials present with shame.

The defeat at Tumu Fortress made them almost believe that they were facing an invincible enemy.

Does the Oirat have the qualifications?

Even now, with all their troops and soldiers already lost, the outcome is still a 50/50 affair!

"But the Oirat army has taken the Emperor Emeritus hostage. If we engage them in battle outside the Great Wall and accidentally injure him, what should we do?"

What should be done?

A resolute glint flashed in Yu Qian's eyes.

"If the Emperor Emeritus were aware of this, he would certainly not mind making a sacrifice for our Great Ming!"

"You must all know that the nation is of paramount importance, while the ruler is of lesser importance!"
