Wei Ye was a history teacher in training. By a twist of fate, he transmigrated to the early Ming dynasty.
The only problem was, he had no idea.
What surprised him even more was that the person who kept asking him all sorts of questions about Ming history was none other than the Hongwu Emperor himself.
Zhu Yuanzhang:
“Lad, did the Ming dynasty really last for millions of years without decline? ... What? You’re saying my Great Ming only lasted 276 years before it fell?”
“Lad, let me ask you this: after I... no, after Zhu Yuanzhang died, how did Emperor Zhu Biao do? ... What do you mean, Zhu Biao died before Zhu Yuanzhang?”
“Lad, tell me: Zhu Yuanzhang worked so hard to stamp out corrupt officials, so surely there weren’t many during his reign, right? ... What do you mean, corruption under Zhu Yuanzhang was worse than at any other point in history?”
After Zhu Yuanzhang kept interrogating him, Wei Ye simply began teaching him the history of the Ming dynasty.
The more the Hongwu Emperor heard, the darker his expression became.
“You, Zhu Di! You actually dared to steal your nephew’s throne!”
“And that Zhu Qizhen, what was his deal? Being captured was bad enough, but then he became the emperor who opened the gates to the enemy? He brought shame on all of Great Ming!”
“Zhu Houcong? He dared to go twenty years without attending court?” Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at Zhu Di’s nose and cursed him nonstop. “Is this what you call good genes?”
When Wei Ye’s eye ailment was cured and he finally saw Zhu Yuanzhang’s face, he was struck dumb with shock.
“Your Majesty, please forgive this unworthy subject!”
Damn it, how could history play such a huge joke on him?
Originally I only wanted to give it one star, but seeing that it's not easy for you to write, I'll give it three stars. You've been telling some historical stories and haven't changed much. I recommend a book of this type. You can refer to it. I think that one is well written. [Datang: I was blind for five years and Li Er unified the world]
You are really a talent. I have a master's degree in history from Fudan University and am now a counselor at Linyi University. What you said about the cause of Queen Ma's death is so ridiculous. Queen Ma, the current accepted cause of death by historical circles is lung disease. Another theory is that she was infected with smallpox while taking care of Zhu Xiongying. As well as the Lu family murder theory in the conspiracy theory, there is no such thing as you who died of illness due to overwork.
