Ming Emperor Chat Group, Creating Apocalyptic Prosperity

[In the first year of Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty you established regained the ruling power within the Great Wall. After the Song and Yuan dynasties, it finally took back the Youyun Sixteen Prefectures that China had lost for 400 years! 】

【Hong Wu...】

[In the fifth year of Hongwu, you launched the second Northern Expedition, but it ended in failure. 】

【Hong Wu...】

[In the thirty-first year of Hongwu, you died of illness...]

【During your reign, you cared for the people very much. Not only did you reduce or exempt taxes, but you also rewarded land reclamation so that farmers could return to farming. 】

[You hate landlords and corrupt officials, kill the rich and help the poor, and severely punish corrupt officials! 】

[During the Hongwu Year during your rule, the enthusiasm of the peasants was high, and the society gradually recovered and developed, which is known as the Hongwu Reign in history! 】

[However, during the Hongwu period of your rule, there were four famous cases successively, namely: the Hu Weiyong case, the Kongyin case, the Guo Huan case, and the Lanyu case. 】

[You massacred officials and civilians in every case, and tens of thousands of people were involved in the casualties, causing everyone in the government and the public to be terrified! 】

[Your decisive and ruthless killings have aroused a lot of discussion in later generations, with mixed praise and criticism. 】

[You recruited talents and worked hard to rule the country, but you killed the heroes who founded the country, and the rabbit died. 】

【You mistakenly set up Zhu Yunqi, and gave your descendants a high salary and privileges, which are really shocking! 】

[The high salary of the vassal princes, the large number of people, and the wide range made the treasury burden heavier in the late Ming Dynasty, which was one of the reasons for the demise of the Ming Dynasty that cannot be ignored! 】

[However, when you were in power, you cared about the common people, so that the common people who were devastated by the former Yuan Dynasty could recuperate. 】

【You expelled the Tartars, regained the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, unified the Han Dynasty, and restored the clothes of China! 】

[Final evaluation results: Your life is full of merit and demerit, but in the eyes of later generations of Han people, your merit will always be greater than your deeds, but no, there will always be people who say. 】

[The evaluation is over, the scores will be announced after all group members evaluate, please wait a moment. 】

The evaluation of Zhu Yuanzhang is over, but Zhu Yuanzhang himself is completely stunned...

"The Great Ming Dynasty...has perished?"

Or did he... make it with his own hands?

He looked at Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Di in disbelief, as if he wanted to find the answer from them.

However, Zhu Di's situation at this time was no better than Zhu Yuanzhang's. He was also surprised and flustered.

None of them dared to believe, nor did they want to believe that the Ming Dynasty would perish...

Zhu Yuanzhang soon found out that apart from him and Zhu Di being flustered, the young Zhu Youxiao was especially calm.

"Youxiao, why are you so calm about the demise of the Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked puzzled.

Zhu Di also turned to look at Zhu Youxiao, waiting for Zhu Youxiao's answer.

Zhu Youxiao smiled helplessly: "Because according to the original development, I am the penultimate emperor of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di were shocked when they heard this...

"You are the fifteenth emperor of my Ming Dynasty. In this way, there are only... sixteen emperors in our Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked blankly.

"According to the original development, the Ming Dynasty was the last unified dynasty established by the Han people in history, with a total of sixteen emperors and a reign of 276 years." Zhu Youxiao replied truthfully.

"You are the second to last? Then the last one is not your son..." Zhu Di's wide eyes were full of disbelief.

But soon, Zhu Di discovered another thing: "No, You Xiao, how did you know what happened behind?"

Zhu Youxiao still smiled helplessly: "According to the original development, I died of illness seven years after I ascended the throne, and there was no successor until I died, so I passed the throne to my younger brother."

"As for why I know this, the system told me." Zhu Youxiao opened his mouth to talk nonsense, and let the system take the blame.

"Seven years... died of illness in seven years...then you are only twenty-three years old..."

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't believe that the young offspring in front of him died of illness at such a young age.

He even didn't want to believe that the Ming Dynasty died in less than three hundred years...

"Youxiao, what's going on? Why did my Ming Dynasty die so soon? Could it be that the Ming Dynasty was brought down because of the high salary of the vassal king?" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help asking.

Zhu Youxiao nodded, then shook his head again, he said,

"There were too many factors for the Ming Dynasty's demise, and there were too many vassal kings, their salaries were too high, and the treasury could not afford to support them.

There are also weather factors. The late Ming Dynasty entered the Little Ice Age, and many parts of the country were freezing cold, making it impossible to grow food.

Without food, the people would starve. In addition, land annexation was serious in the late Ming Dynasty. The civil officials of the imperial court formed their own party, and the entire court was controlled by the largest civil official group, the Donglin Party.

These Donglin party civil servants are just and awe-inspiring on the surface, but in reality they are dignified. They form cliques in private, collusion between government and businessmen, harm the people, and annex people's farmland.

As a result, many people have nowhere to go, and they have followed the path of your great grandfather at that time, rebelling! "

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's hands were shaking: "Rebellion... In this way, isn't it the same as at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, where the people are destitute and starved to death?"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't believe that the Ming Empire that he built with his own hands would end up like a former Yuan...

He was also born in the common people, and he knew that no one would take the risk of rebelling as long as he had a mouthful of food to eat!

And he didn't want to believe that Daming's court was actually controlled by those civil servants who played tricks...

Zhu Yuanzhang thought the situation was bad enough, but Zhu Youxiao's next words made him feel like a thunderbolt!
