Being a tour guide for historical celebrities, the motherland is amazed again

Chapter 37 Zhu Youjian was killed and resurrected

"Zhu Zhanji, as far as I know, your original Queen Hu did nothing wrong, but you insisted on divorcing her." Su Jiahe said.

"Yes, Hu Shi did nothing wrong, but Concubine Sun gave birth to Qi Zhen, and I want to give him the status of a legitimate son."

"What are you looking at? You gave birth to such a thing and you still want to be the queen." Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily.

"Historical records show that although Queen Hu had no children, she was a virtuous queen. If you do this, you will feel guilty for the rest of your life." Su Jiahe squatted beside Zhu Zhanji and persuaded him in a low voice.

Zhu Qizhen's biological mother, Sun Ruowei, was criticized by many as a demon queen. She was responsible for indulging Zhu Qizhen's misdeeds. Making Sun Ruowei the queen was also a black mark on Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Zhanji leaned forward and kowtowed, then said carefully, "Great-grandfather, although Qi Zhen is not capable, it is our ancestral rule to establish the eldest son as the heir. When I return, I will definitely teach him strictly and safeguard the foundation of our Ming Dynasty. As for the matter of establishing a queen, I will also think twice."

"Well, go back and take care of yourself. Live a few more years and teach the princes well. You are someone we respect. How could you have such a son?"

With Su Jiahe's support, Zhu Zhanji got up from the ground and sat on the chair.

"Miss Su, besides Zhu Qizhen, do I have any other unfilial descendants?" Zhu Zhanji asked in a low voice.

"Later, Zhu Qizhen's son, Zhu Jianshen, recovered the lost territory, and his grandson, Zhu Youcheng, worked diligently to govern the country, which is known in history as the 'Hongzhi Restoration.' Both emperors have a very good reputation among later generations."

"That's good." Zhu Zhanji was slightly relieved.

"But the emperor behind..." Su Jiahe hesitated, "Why don't you go downstairs and buy some quick-acting heart pills."

"We are fine, just go ahead and talk." Zhu Yuanzhang thought to himself, even if the person behind him was a bastard, he probably couldn't compare to Zhu Qizhen.

“Alright,” Su Jiahe continued, “After Zhu Youcheng came the Zhengde Emperor. He personally led troops and won a great victory at Yingzhou, but he was playful by nature and opened a ‘Leopard House’ in the palace.”

"What is the Leopard House?" Zhu Zhanji asked.

"It's a place dedicated to him and his concubines for entertainment, and there are many wild animals raised in it."

Su Jiahe did not describe some restricted scenes in detail.

"What's next?" Zhu Zhanji's face darkened.

"The next emperor was the Jiajing Emperor. Although he rectified the civil service in his early years, ruled with benevolence and loved the people, ushering in a period of revival, in his later years he became superstitious about Taoism, devoted himself to cultivating immortality, and appointed eunuchs, bringing chaos to the court."

"The next emperor was Emperor Longqing. Although he had some achievements, he was extremely lustful and died after only five years on the throne."

"The next emperor, Emperor Wanli, did not attend court for thirty years because of the dispute over the crown prince."

"After Wanli, there were two emperors, Taichang and Tianqi. One of them indulged in excessive sexual activities and took elixirs indiscriminately, and died after only one month in office. The other only wanted to be a carpenter and did not care about state affairs. After the death of Emperor Tianqi, Zhu Youjian ascended the throne..."

Having said that, Su Jiahe sighed.

After listening to Su Jiahe's story, the two were silent for a while.

"When we get to Fengyang, we have to check whether the feng shui of our ancestral tomb is bad." Zhu Yuanzhang slammed the table.

"What happened to Youjian in the end?" Zhu Zhanji looked worried.

"In fact, Zhu Youjian was a very diligent and simple emperor. Unfortunately, he had no one to teach him since childhood. He was appointed to the throne in a time of crisis. After seventeen years on the throne..."

"I hope our Ming Dynasty will not perish."

Although Zhu Yuanzhang knew the Ming Dynasty was no longer in existence after traveling through time, he never expected it to fall so soon. He had only used half of the twenty-character family tree he had created.

"Yes, the Ming Dynasty fell."

"What? This brat really caused the downfall of the country? We'll beat him to a pulp in a minute!" Zhu Yuanzhang was furious. "Your Majesties, please calm down. This matter cannot be entirely blamed on Zhu Youjian," Su Jiahe quickly said. "In fact, the land and finance problems of the Ming Dynasty had already erupted during the Wanli era. Zhu Youjian inherited a mess."

"Furthermore, during the late Ming Dynasty, temperatures dropped, grain production decreased, and natural and man-made disasters continued. With the Later Jin outside and peasant uprisings within, the situation was truly difficult."

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Zhanji could not accept this fact for a while and both kept their heads down and remained silent.

"However, Zhu Youjian was still quite resolute. He did not flee or surrender. On the last day of the Ming Dynasty, he killed his wife and daughter and then hanged himself on Coal Hill."

Su Jiahe had just finished speaking, and before Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Zhanji could react, they heard a roar from outside the door -

"What did you say?"

The door was pushed open with a bang, and Zhu Youjian stumbled to Su Jiahe, grabbed her clothes like crazy, and shook her back and forth.

"How could I be the king who destroyed my country? Why did I lose my country?"

"Let me go first!" Su Jiahe was frightened by Zhu Youjian.

"What are you crazy about? Let's talk it over." Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Zhanji both stepped forward and tried to hold Zhu Youjian back. Unexpectedly, Zhu Youjian, who had lost his mind, was extremely strong and broke free from their restraints.

"I'm so sorry to my ancestors!"

With a long roar, Zhu Youjian hit his head on the corner of the table and instantly fell to the ground, unconscious.

"Ah!" Su Jiahe was shocked and quickly picked up the phone and dialed 120 again.

"Alas, there's no hope, he's dead." Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the ground, hugging Zhu Youjian. Zhu Zhanji squatted beside him, silently wiping his tears.

"Wait, no breathing doesn't mean there's no hope!" After Su Jiahe called 120, he immediately laid Zhu Youjian flat on the ground, knelt beside him, and performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

"Emperor Chongzhen, please don't die!"

Although she knew that Zhu Youjian would hang himself in the future, he was still a living person after all, and Su Jiahe couldn't bear to watch him die in front of her.

"Do you know artificial respiration? It's mouth-to-mouth breathing."

"Ah, mouth to mouth?" Zhu Zhanji was stunned for a moment, then he bent down decisively and performed first aid as Su Jiahe said.

Even if he was the king of a fallen country, he was still the emperor of the Ming Dynasty after all, and his descendants could not die in obscurity in later generations.

Two minutes later, Su Jiahe was sweating and panting, and was about to run out of strength. Suddenly, Zhu Youjian coughed and slowly opened his eyes.

"That's great, he's saved! Hold on, the ambulance will be here soon!" Su Jiahe let out a long breath, leaned over, and sat on the ground.

"You little bastard, you seek death when you encounter problems. What's the point of death?" Zhu Yuanzhang picked up a cup of hot tea and fed it to Zhu Youjian, cursing him in a disappointed tone.

When Zhu Youjian woke up and saw Zhu Yuanzhang, his eyes were first filled with great surprise, and then with confusion.

"Boy, why are you looking at me like that? I'm your ancestor, don't you recognize me?"

But the next second, Zhu Yuanzhang also vaguely felt that Zhu Youjian's eyes were different from before.

Zhu Youjian stared at Zhu Yuanzhang, his lips moved, and he finally said a word -

"Dad, you're not dead?"
