The videos I watched became popular in ancient times

Chapter 148 The elixir is poisonous
  When three episodes of Journey to the West were broadcast in the afternoon, Emperor Chongzhen didn't watch much.

He has read the Journey to the West novel written by Wu Chengen and knows the plot of the TV series clearly.

Except for some adaptations, other parts are basically performed according to the novel.

More importantly, he was in a heavy mood and had no intention of watching Journey to the West.

During the live broadcast in the evening, the anchor will tell him the answer.

But facing everything that happened in the late Ming Dynasty, he both wanted to know and was afraid to know.

What he was afraid of was that even though he knew everything that happened in the late Ming Dynasty, he found that he was unable to change it and could only watch the Ming Dynasty perish. This was the reason why he did not dare to face it.

But no matter how scared he is, he must face it bravely.

Only by finding out the root cause of Ming Dynasty's demise can he turn the tide and completely turn things around.

Therefore, as the live broadcast time approached, he summoned all the civil and military ministers to face it together to see if they could work together to come up with a solution.

Not only Chongzhen, the Ming emperor, but other emperors of the Ming Dynasty were also ready. They wanted to see why the Ming Dynasty died.

Although other ancient people from various dynasties were not interested in Chongzhen, they were fully prepared. After all, the anchor's walkie-talkie still made them curious.

Although I don’t know what a walkie-talkie is, as long as it is sold by an anchor, it must be a good thing. Just buy it and you will never suffer a loss.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Su Chen started broadcasting on time.

"Good evening everyone, I am the anchor Su Chen. Welcome everyone to watch the live broadcast on time."

Ancient people from various dynasties also greeted the host one after another, and the live broadcast room was almost flooded.

Every time the broadcast started, Su Chen felt quite relaxed and in very good condition.

He was also very happy to be liked by so many ancient people.

"Last night His Majesty Chongzhen asked the anchor a question. He wanted to know what happened in the late Ming Dynasty. Now the anchor will answer His Majesty Chongzhen's question."

Having said this, Chongzhen sat upright with a serious and nervous expression.

You will soon know what will happen to you in the future, and you will inevitably feel uneasy.

In fact, not only Chongzhen, but also the civil and military ministers of Chongzhen's dynasty were also embarrassed.

After all, the Ming Dynasty in history has perished. As the pillars of the imperial court, they will definitely have a role in the history told by the anchor.

If it's positive, that's fine, but if there's any negative content, His Majesty probably won't let them off lightly.

Su Chen ignored the small thoughts of the ancients during the Chongzhen period, and instead told the story of Chongzhen.

"Emperor Chongzhen, the king of the Ming Dynasty, died at the age of thirty-three. He was born in 1611 and died in 1644."

"Although Chongzhen is a royal child, his childhood life was not happy. His mother was just a maid and concubine of the crown prince Zhu Changluo, and his status was very low."

"Although his father was the prince, he was not loved by Ming Shenzong Wanli. Instead, he disliked the prince because of Zhu Changluo's biological mother."

"So Zhu Youjian's life can be said to be surviving in the cracks of the royal family, and when he was five years old, his mother was ordered to be killed by Zhu Changluo because of a crime, so that after Zhu Youjian lost his mother at a young age, he was raised by his concubine. aldult."

Listening to the anchor's narration, Chongzhen looked sad, as if he was suddenly recalling his tragic childhood life.

He has never enjoyed the warmth of his parents since he was a child. Instead, he has been living in fear. No one knows how he survived. His father was not liked by Grandpa Huang, and he was not liked by his father. When he was a child, his only support was his mother.

But when he was five years old, his only support was killed by his father. From then on, he was completely helpless.

Now when he thinks back to his childhood life, it seems to be so vivid in his mind that he will never forget it.

Zhu Yuanzhang: How did the descendants of later generations become emperors? What happened to Wanli? They all established a prince, but they still despised the prince? This Zhu Changluo is even more outrageous. Someone else has given birth to a son for you. No matter how humble your status is, you cannot order him to be killed with a stick.

Zhu Changluo: Well, I didn’t know that the son of the palace girl would become the emperor tomorrow. Since Zhu Youjian will become the emperor in the future, then I won’t kill that cheap maid.

"Mingguangzong Zhu Changluo has been indulging in alcohol and sex since he came to power, which made his body very weak."

"In September 1620, Zhu Changluo, the Mingguangzong who had been ill for a long time, died after taking red pills. Zhu Youjian's elder brother Zhu Youxiao came to the throne immediately. He was the Mingxi Zong, and his reign was Tianqi."

Zhu Changluo: I died in 1620? How could he die so early? If I don’t take red pills in the future, will I not die so early?
  When he learned that he had died from the red pill, he was so frightened that he immediately threw aside the red pill he carried with him.

He decided to take the red pill because he was suffering from a disease, but he didn't expect that he would die from taking the red pill. How could he accept this?

Now, even if I beat him to death, he would not dare to eat it.

Zhu Yuanzhang: It’s simply ridiculous. So many emperors in the past dynasties took elixirs in pursuit of immortality, but none of them lived forever. Instead, a lot of them took elixirs and died. How come they don’t have long memories?

"In the second year after Zhu Youxiao succeeded to the throne, Zhu Youjian was canonized as King Xin of Ming Dynasty."

"During Ming Xizong's reign, he was mediocre and incompetent, which led to the dominance of powerful officials. During his seven years in power, he had no heirs due to his weak health."

"In 1627, after years of taking elixirs, Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty was dying of poisoning. He called Zhu Youjian into the palace and passed him the throne."

"The next day, Ming Xi Zong died, and Zhu Youjian succeeded to the throne as Emperor Chongzhen."

Zhu Yuanzhang: Is this Zhu Youxiao a stupid pig? His father ate the elixir and died. Why didn't he have a long memory? Now it's better. He also ate the elixir and died.

He was almost furious, why were all his descendants so stupid?

Why do you have a special liking for elixirs? The last one ate it to death, and the next one will continue to eat it.

He really couldn't figure it out, weren't the lessons learned by emperors of all dynasties about taking elixirs enough? Why are you still obsessed with taking the elixir?

He thought carefully and couldn't let future generations continue like this.

He immediately established an ancestral precept that future generations of the Zhu family were not allowed to eat elixirs.

Anyone who disobeys will be considered disrespectful and will be expelled from the Zhu family tree and will no longer be considered a descendant of the Zhu family.

Zhu Youxiao: I was poisoned to death by taking the elixir. If I don’t take the elixir in the future, I probably won’t die so early again.

It was because he was weak and had no heirs, and seeing the imperial doctor did not help, so he tried taking elixirs to see if he could improve his health.

How could he know that the elixir was poisonous? His already weak body became more and more exhausted.

But fortunately, I now know that as long as I stop taking the elixir in time, there will always be some improvement.

The medicine of later generations should be very advanced, and there might be a way to cure his disease. You can ask the anchor for details when the time comes.
