Sky Curtain: The opening scene explains the four major cases of the Ming Dynasty plus the early Ming

coincidence?

When Zhu Dijun asked this question, in all the worlds and timelines, every emperor and general who had experienced the storms of the court had a cold answer in their minds.

In the political arena, there are never coincidences.

All coincidences are the result of careful planning!

Like Yang Shiqi, he was from Jiangxi and was also a top politician who served five dynasties.

The biggest winner was the one who naturally ascended to the pinnacle of power after the Tumu Crisis.

Chen Xun!

This name, like a branding iron, was deeply imprinted in the hearts of all the emperors of the Ming Dynasty!

Hongwu Hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes no longer held anger, but rather a dangerous calm that seemed to have seen through everything.

"Jiangxi...it's Jiangxi again..."

He murmured to himself, but his voice carried a murderous intent that chilled the officials to the bone.

"We didn't kill enough back then!"

"We should tie up all those corrupt Jiangxi bastards and throw them into the Yangtze River to feed the fish!"

The Yongle era in a parallel world.

Zhu Di's gaze fell on his son Zhu Gaochi and grandson Zhu Zhanji.

Those eyes were filled with endless disappointment.

"The Three Yangs are for you to use."

"This Chen Xun also climbed up the ranks step by step under your rule."

"What a desolate mess you have left for your descendants!"

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji lowered their heads in shame, speechless.

They thought they had created a prosperous and benevolent era, but they never imagined that they had merely nurtured a group of even larger and more greedy parasites beneath the foundation of the empire!

And these parasites, in their great-grandchildren, finally bared their fangs, ready to devour their master!

The insults used by the fat cricket were harsh, but he was absolutely right!

In modern live streaming rooms, the chat is absolutely exploding!

"I believe it! This is absolutely no coincidence! In ancient times, the most important thing was the local community. One Yang Shiqi from Jiangxi fell, and another Chen Xun from Jiangxi immediately took over! This is fucking hereditary succession!"

["Chen Xun was definitely involved in the Tumu Crisis! He was the new agent pushed forward by the civil service! The nobles and imperial relatives who died at Tumu were his pledge of allegiance to the emperor!"]

"Wait a minute, guys, there's still something wrong with the logic! Even if Chen Xun was the mastermind, wasn't it Yu Qian who turned the tide and won the Battle of Beiping? Could Chen Xun really have commanded Yu Qian?"

"That's right! Yu Qian! Yu Shaobao! How do you explain this? Is the history we learned fake?"

"Wait... I suddenly remembered something! Before the Tumu Crisis, Yu Qian was the Right Vice Minister of War, but before that, he served as a governor for a long time, spending nineteen years in Shanxi and Henan! He had outstanding political achievements and was an incorruptible official!"

"Upstairs! You reminded me! Shanxi! The fire records that Brother Jun just released—the great fire at the Zhongyi Qianwei granary in the thirteenth year of the Zhengtong reign—wasn't that in Shanxi?! Yu Qian was the governor of Shanxi at the time!"

"Holy crap?! Really? They burned down the nation's granary right under the nose of the upright and honest Yu Shaobao? Nobody would believe he didn't know!"

"Damn it! First there was Chen Xun, then the wicked Empress Sun Ruowei, then Yu Qian and Yang Hong, and in the history books they were all great heroes, valiant and unassuming, but it turns out it was all a lie?"

"The dramas like 'Ming Dynasty' and those other TV series are all fake, damn it! These damn directors definitely know the truth and are deliberately misleading us!"

As the increasingly clear yet unbelievable speculations appeared on the screen, countless people in the Myriad Realms and Spacetime felt a chill run down their spines.

Yu Qian...

That loyal minister who wrote "I fear not being crushed to pieces, but only wish to leave behind a pure reputation in the world" is a figure of enduring loyalty.

That prime minister who saved the day at the gates of Beiping, turning the tide and preventing the collapse of the city.

He... also has a problem?

How is this possible?!

Above the sky, Zhu Dijun seemed to have anticipated the audience's reaction.

His face showed no smug satisfaction at revealing the truth, only a deep-seated sorrow.

"Family members, I know it's hard to accept this fact."

"Because this is not just about overturning a piece of history, but about destroying a spiritual totem that we have worshipped for hundreds of years."

Zhu Dijun's voice echoed softly.

"But the truth is often this cruel."

"Now, let's make an assumption."

"A hypothesis that is the darkest, yet also closest to the truth."

His gaze swept across all realms, as if he were looking at the emperors and common people of every time and space.

"We will conduct a reverse analysis of these great heroes who 'served the country and the people'."

"Let's assume for now that they are not heroes, but participants in this regicide plot, or even one of the masterminds."

"Then, let's go back and look at those so-called 'suspicious points' and 'coincidences'."

"You will find that everything will become incredibly smooth, incredibly logical, and incredibly...dark!"

"As I mentioned before, the civil service group did not hesitate to incite rebellion in the southeast in order to stop the Qing army."

"After the rebellion in the southeast was quelled, they turned their attention to the north and started a war with the Oirats."

"In the northern border towns, granaries were caught fire one after another, and large numbers of military households fled, leaving the border defenses like a sieve."

"And who was the high-ranking official in charge of the entire northern defense line, who served as governor of Shanxi and Henan for nineteen years?"

Zhu Dijun did not directly say the name.

But the question he raised has struck everyone's hearts like a heavy hammer!

Yu Qian!

"No...no! Brother Jun! Please stop talking! I don't want to hear it!"

"Only a fool wouldn't believe that! Yu Qian served as the governor of Shanxi for so many years. The granaries burned down, the soldiers fled, and he claims he knew everything—that's dereliction of duty! He claims he knew nothing—that's malfeasance! Either way, he bears responsibility!"

"So, it's not that he didn't know, but rather... he tacitly approved of, and even participated in, those things!"

"Yes."

Judy Jun coldly shattered everyone's illusions.

"In Tumu Fortress, Yang Hong and his three sons led a group of border soldiers who murdered the emperor and killed the military generals led by Duke Zhang Fu of Yingguo."

"Let's see, who survived, who got promoted, that's the traitor!"

"This logic is simple and effective."

"Then, family members, let me tell you something else that will overturn your worldview, a piece of 'unofficial history' buried in the dust of history books."

A cruel smile curled at the corners of Zhu Dijun's mouth.

"That Yu Qian, the Junior Guardian, who stood tall and righteous beneath the walls of Beiping, demanding the execution of Yang Hong, the mastermind behind the Tumu Fortress Mutiny..."

"What is his relationship with that rebel leader Yang Hong?"

"They are—"

"My children! My in-laws!"
