Seven Years on the Throne

In the long river of history, the fate of some people was not chosen by themselves, but was pushed to the forefront by the huge waves of the times. Zhu Qiyu, Emperor Jingtai of the Ming Dynasty, was such an emperor who could not help himself. He was originally a peaceful prince, and perhaps his greatest wish was to spend his days admiring flowers and fish, reading, and staying away from the disputes in the court in his mansion.

His imperial brother, Zhu Qizhen, the Yingzong of Ming Dynasty, became a prisoner of Wala! Half a million troops were wiped out, and the Mongolian iron cavalry pointed directly at Beijing.

This dragon chair is a symbol of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and it is also a hot instrument of torture. In front, are the fierce Oara army and the imperial brother who has become a "hostage"; behind, are the people of the capital who are in constant panic and the undercurrent of the court. He was walking on thin ice with trepidation and fear every step he took. These seven years were the seven years of turning the tide and protecting the country. They were also the seven years of brotherly suspicion and flesh-and-blood quarrels. They were the seven years of re-employing virtuous ministers and working hard to govern. They were also the seven years of physical and mental exhaustion, and the painful struggle between power and family affection.
