In the 14th year of Zhengtong, Tumubao suffered a disastrous defeat, the 200,000-strong army was destroyed, and the Ming Emperor was captured by Wala.
On the second day after the news came back to Beijing, hundreds of civil and military officials knelt down in the Wenhua Hall, begging the King of Yin, Zhu Qiyu, to supervise the country in case of danger.
No one knows that this 22-year-old young prince holds all the memories of the next eight years in his mind - he has seen himself die of illness in the cold palace, Yu Qian was beheaded, his wives and concubines were either buried or abolished, and all his hard work was wasted.
He just wants to protect himself.
Yu Qian chased him out of the palace and grabbed his sleeve to persuade him. Wang Zhaodi bit his palm and cried, asking why he didn't believe her. The Empress Dowager Sun was scheming behind the scenes, the officials in the court had their own selfish motives, the Walas cavalry were sharpening their swords outside the city, and the captured emperor stood at the gate of Xuanfu City and called the door.
He did not want to proclaim himself emperor, but he had to take over the supervision of the country. With three thousand personal guards in his hands, Qian surrendered all his military power, and the craftsmen of the Ordnance Bureau were moved into the palace along with their tools. It's up to you, Yu Qian, to defend the city. I'll go on my own to save my life.
Whoever wants to take over this Ming Dynasty's mess, he just wants to protect the people around him and live peacefully until the troubled times are over.
