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

Military training at Xiyuan!

When these four words appeared in the sky, emperors and generals from all time and space instantly understood.

This is not an ordinary military exercise.

This is a declaration of war!

It was Zhu Qizhen's last roar before he was bound to death by layers of shackles!

He wanted to tell everyone in the most direct way that he, Zhu Qizhen, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, had not given up!

He wanted to build an army that belonged only to him!

Inside the Xuande Hall.

Looking at his son in military uniform with a resolute look in the sky, Zhu Zhanji felt a surge of indescribable bitterness and pride welling up in his heart, which was originally filled with regret.

picture!

so similar!

This indomitable spirit is just like my own back then, and even more like my grandfather who single-handedly created the Yongle era!

"Well done, town..."

"Truly worthy of being my son! Truly worthy of being a descendant of the Zhu family!"

Zhu Zhanji muttered to himself, but his fists clenched even tighter.

He knew that behind his son's seemingly tough stance lay a profound sense of isolation and helplessness.

How could this hastily assembled army possibly stand against the Sun family group, which had long been deeply entrenched and controlled the entire Beijing garrison?

This is tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock!

Above the sky, Zhu Dijun's voice confirmed his concerns.

"Family members, everyone understands Zhu Qizhen's intentions."

"Sun Ruowei understood, Sun Jizong understood, and those civil officials and nobles who depended on the Sun family also understood."

"They will never stand idly by and watch Zhu Qizhen regain control of a truly loyal armed force."

"An invisible net has been quietly tightening, waiting for the prey that is trying to break free to reveal its most fatal flaw."

"And this flaw soon became apparent."

Judy Jun's voice pulled everyone's thoughts back to the origin of that storm.

"The fifth year of the Tianshun reign, June."

"Gansu border bandits."

"Zhu Qizhen seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and issued an edict to transfer Sun Tang, the Marquis of Huaining, who was the commander-in-chief of the Three Thousand Battalions!"

"He wants to remove this most crucial thorn in the side of the Beijing Garrison!"

"Then……"

Zhu Dijun's gaze became incredibly sharp, as if trying to pierce through the fog of history!

"Send his most trusted servant, Cao Qin, to take command of this most powerful cavalry unit!"

The truth, at this moment, was completely pieced together!

The so-called "Cao Qin Rebellion" was actually triggered by the emperor's desperate attempt to seize power!

Zhu Qizhen's plan was clearly laid bare before everyone!

The first step was to use the pretext of border affairs to transfer Sun Tang away, creating a power vacuum in the Three Thousand Battalion.

The second step was to have his trusted confidant Cao Qin quickly take over and turn this elite force into his personal army!

The third step is to use the 3,000 battalion as the core, in conjunction with the newly trained troops of Xiyuan, to launch a fatal blow against the Sun family's maternal relatives group that controls the five military battalions!

This is a bold, even insane, plan!

If he succeeds, he will completely turn the tide and become the monarch who truly controls the court!

"Holy crap! So that's how it is! I understand everything now! It's a elaborate scheme!"

"First, let's be polite; then we'll use force! If you don't listen, don't blame me for flipping the table!"

"The God of War is still the God of War! Even with no cards in hand, he'll force himself to create a royal flush!"

"That was incredibly dangerous! It was like dancing on a knife's edge! One wrong step and you'd be plunged into an abyss!"

In countless worlds and timelines, countless people held their breath.

They could almost feel the heavy, almost dripping air above the Forbidden City in the summer of the fifth year of the Tianshun reign!

Everyone knew that a bloody storm that would determine the fate of the Ming Dynasty was about to break!

Judy Jun looked at the comments and sighed softly.

"Ideals are lofty."

But reality is far harsher.

"Zhu Qizhen's opponent was Sun Ruowei, a vixen who had been entangled in the inner palace and the court for decades, and a group of old foxes who had long since become cunning."

"How could they possibly just stand by and watch Zhu Qizhen get his hands on that knife that could threaten them?"

Judy Jun's voice suddenly turned cold!

"Just as Sun Tang received the imperial edict and was about to leave the capital, and Cao Qin's appointment had not yet been officially issued, this was the most critical window of power transition..."

"The Sun Group has made the first move!"

The historical event known as the "Cao Qin Rebellion" has erupted!

The scene above the sky suddenly changed!

The shouts of battle shook the heavens and the earth, and the flames dyed the night sky of the Forbidden City red!

Countless armored soldiers, led by Cao Qin, charged toward the imperial city.

However, what awaited them was the Five Armies Camp, which was already in full battle array, and the Three Thousand Camp, which, for some unknown reason, should have been preparing to march out, but suddenly "returned to quell the rebellion"!

Sun Tang appeared before the rebels, a cold, smug smile on his face.

This is a setup!

A death trap that had been prepared long ago for both Cao Qin and Zhu Qizhen!

"Family members, do you understand now?"

"The so-called 'Cao Qin's rebellion' was, from beginning to end, a carefully orchestrated hoax!"

"It was a preemptive palace coup launched by the Sun family to prevent the emperor from seizing power!"

"Under the guise of 'suppressing the rebellion,' they legitimately uprooted and eradicated the last remaining forces loyal to the emperor!"

"Cao Jixiang was executed by slow slicing."

"Cao Qin died in battle."

"All the eunuchs and soldiers who participated in the 'loyalist' campaign were slaughtered!"

At this moment, Zhu Dijun's voice became incredibly hoarse, filled with endless sorrow.

"After that fierce battle, Zhu Qizhen risked everything, making a final, all-or-nothing gamble..."

"It failed in the most tragic way."

"He lost everything."

"He no longer had a single loyal servant by his side who would be willing to die for him."

"Although he is still sitting on that dragon throne, in reality..."

Zhu Dijun paused for a moment, each word seeming to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

"Emperor Yingzong has once again become a prisoner!"

boom--!!!

These words struck the hearts of all the Zhu family emperors like a thunderbolt from the heavens!

A prisoner!

Another prisoner!

The first time was at Tumu Fortress, where he became a prisoner of the Oirat people!

This time, it was in the Forbidden City, in his own palace!

He became his own mother in name only, and his uncles'...prisoner!

This is more cruel and humiliating than killing him!

"ah!!!"

Xuande Time and Space

Zhu Zhanji let out a roar of extreme pain. He suddenly drew the Emperor's Sword from his waist and slashed fiercely at the dragon throne in front of him!

Click!

The armrests of the dragon throne snapped in two!

"The Sun family! Sun Ruowei!"

"I will tear you to pieces!!"

"I will exterminate your entire family! No! Ten generations!!!"

An overwhelming killing intent swept through the entire hall, silencing all the palace servants, who prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling in fear!

Yongle Time and Space.

Zhu Di slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eagle eyes were filled with endless coldness and killing intent!

"deliver an imperial order!"

"Crown Princess Zhang, Crown Prince's Consort Sun, and all members of their clan, regardless of age or gender..."

"Leave no one alive!"

"Tell Gao Chi and Zhan Ji that womanly compassion will only bring disaster upon their descendants!"

"This world belongs to the Zhu family!"

"Anyone who dares to reach out will have their paws chopped off!"

"Anyone who dares to spy will have their eyes gouged out!"

"It is what I said!"
