After being transformed into Zhu Youxiao, he was put under house arrest, robbed, and finally promoted to the throne by civilian officials and became Emperor Tianqi.
In the court, Donglin, the Zhejiang Party, the Chu Party, etc. Were vying for power. He was like a puppet on strings, being restrained everywhere.
He was shocked to realize that his father's death was just the tip of the iceberg.
Even during the Hongwu period, Zhu Biao died suddenly, King Qin and King Jin died suddenly, Zhengde fell into the water, Jiajing elixir, Taichang Hongwan... More than half of the sixteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty died of abnormal deaths, all of which were "died of sudden illness."
It was difficult for the concubines in the harem to give birth to a prince, and the noble military generals of the royal family were destroyed one after another.
Behind all this lies a shadow dynasty that has been hidden for thousands of years: the Jiangnan clan.
They don't sit on the throne, but they control the world; they don't bear the reputation, but they let the Zhu family take the blame for generations.
From the Huangchao Rebellion to the Jingnan Campaign, from Tumu Fort to the Liaodong battlefield, they raised private soldiers, monopolized maritime trade, controlled the imperial examinations, colluded with foreigners, treated the emperor as a temporary steward, and treated the country as a family property.
