Chapter 10 Chapter 10: The Disappeared Emperor Jianwen
This year is the fourth year of Emperor Jianwen's accession to the throne.He originally thought that he was the captain of the super giant ship of the Ming Empire, and he could drive the ship to where he wanted to go.Unexpectedly, this vast sea was completely different from what was described in the sailing manuals left by the sages. The clouds were turbulent and the undercurrent was rolling, and soon he was involved in the whirlpool, spinning and frantic.When I came back to my senses, the boat had already reached the gate of hell.He really didn't understand where he was wrong. It was so beautiful at the beginning.
In the four years since he ascended the throne, he has worked tirelessly, followed the words of the sage in every move, and all measures were based on the good intentions of the sages.He lightened the world's taxes, abolished harsh laws and replaced them with leniency.He reused Confucian officials, tried out the well field system, and comprehensively built an ideal Confucian society.Unexpectedly, after four years of hard work, it was a dead end.He does not understand his subjects.The righteousness of the monarch and ministers is the first of human relations, why so many generals betrayed him without hesitation and went to the King of Yan?Why was he trapped in the capital, and no one from the counties and counties in the world came to serve the king?
In the midst of wild thoughts, Yingtian City was in chaos, killing sounds were everywhere, and Yan soldiers had surrounded the palace.When King Yan entered the city, he immediately sent people to protect King Zhou and King Qi who were imprisoned.When King Zhou saw King Yan, he rushed forward and cried, "The villain slaughtered my brother, brother Lai saved me. We will meet again today." King Yan's answer showed the difference in realm between the two brothers: "It's not my power, it's the result of the blessing of the emperor's father and mother's spirit in the sky!" After hearing such a brilliant answer, who can doubt that King Yan is not a born emperor?
Zhu Di did not rush to the palace, but sent people to besiege.He hoped that something unexpected would happen in the palace before his arrival.The result of the matter is both satisfying and somewhat regrettable.The soldiers did not find Emperor Jianwen in the palace, but only found a corpse in the ashes, but it was beyond recognition and looked more like a female corpse.No matter what, Zhu Di made a quick decision and "decided" that the corpse was Emperor Jianwen.He let out a long sigh, and said with great pain: "The boy is ignorant, is he really so confused? I came here to help you do good, how could you make such a stupid choice!"
