The Splendor of the Jingtai Era

I am really speechless, why nine of the ten novels about Emperor Jingtai are about helping Queen Wang, but can't they be about helping Concubine Hang? Really, I haven't liked Empress Wang ever since she opposed Zhu Qiyu's son becoming the crown prince. At that time, what Zhu Qiyu wanted most was the support of the people around him. As a result, his wife was the first to sing the opposite tune. There is reason to suspect that she was responsible for the death of Zhu Qiyu's only son.

Why did I automatically think that when I saw the beginning of the introduction, I thought: Brother-in-law, I have a secret in my heart that I want to tell you. In fact, what I like is you 😃😃😃. Is it because I wrote this that the book exploded?

It's okay, but that's why I feel it's weird that the queen kneels down and salutes all the time. I've never seen a queen kneel down to the emperor. Can anyone who knows the history explain it? 🤔

First of all, it must be clear that Queen Wang was not opposed to changing the crown prince, but was opposed to establishing Zhu Jianji as the crown prince. Historically, Zhu Qiyu exposed her true intentions on the spot. The Queen Wang in history should be a kind woman. She once spent her own money to hire people to search for the remains of soldiers who died in the battle to defend the capital. Her move can be regarded as winning a wave of public support for her husband Zhu Qiyu. According to historical records, apart from the disagreement with her husband over the matter of changing the prince, Queen Wang did not cause any problems for her husband in other matters. But Queen Wang's objection to Zhu Qiyu's making Zhu Jianji the crown prince is blameless. In real life, if you want others to support you, you must first give others benefits, or at least write a bad check first! Even your brothers and wives cannot support you unprincipled and unconditionally! Zhu Qiyu made Zhu Jianji the prince, which harmed the vital interests of Queen Wang. Queen Wang is not infertile and may give birth to a legitimate son in the future. Once she gives birth to a legitimate son, she is likely to become a thorn in the side of Zhu Jianji's mother and son, and her life is likely to be in danger. Therefore, Queen Wang really had no reason to support Zhu Qiyu in making Zhu Jianji the crown prince. What is even more chilling is that since Zhu Qiyu can see through Queen Wang's true intention at a glance, it means that he has not considered such serious consequences, but has chosen to ignore and ignore it. Husbands and wives should understand and support each other. Since Zhu Qiyu doesn't care about Queen Wang's thoughts, what reason does he have to ask Queen Wang to support him? Even judging from the final outcome in history, there is nothing wrong with Queen Wang not supporting Zhu Qiyu. Queen Wang did not support Zhu Qiyu's establishment of Crown Prince Zhu Jianji, but Zhu Qiyu still established it and deposed her as queen. Empress Wang opposed Zhu Qiyu's establishment of Zhu Jianji as crown prince, and had no effect on Zhu Qiyu's replacement of crown prince. Zhu Qiyu later insisted on going his own way, and eventually brought himself to a dead end, and he had nothing to do with her at all! Behind Zhu Qiyu's easy transfer to the throne, there is probably a historical truth hidden: when he was planning to make Zhu Jianji the crown prince, he probably already had the idea of deposing Queen Wang, because only by deposing Queen Wang, Du To eliminate the possibility of her giving birth to a legitimate son in the future, Zhu Jianji's position as crown prince was secure. His starting point was completely consistent with Zhu Zhanji's deposing of Queen Hu (Zhu Zhanji couldn't wait to depose the queen after Zhu Qizhen was born in order to allow Zhu Qizhen to secure his position as crown prince). Queen Wang opposed the change of crown prince (essentially, she opposed the establishment of Zhu Jianji as crown prince), which just gave him a reason to convince himself to depose his wife. In the final analysis, Queen Wang is just a victim involved in the royal power struggle! Regardless of whether she supports Zhu Qiyu in making Zhu Jianji the crown prince, it is likely that it will not end well. Perhaps she herself had already seen through her husband's true intention of finding an excuse to depose her (after all, Hu Shanxiang's lessons learned were too close to her), so she deliberately spoke out against the change of prince, allowing Zhu Qiyu to succeed.

Your setting of Queen Wang is too bad. Queen Wang objects and Zhu Qiyu's son becomes the prince! Zhu Qiyu's son is also her son. After he ascends the throne, he will also be the Queen Mother. But she objected and would rather be an aunt (concubine) than a queen mother. He is obviously from Zhu Qizhen!

In essence, Zhu Qiyu's replacement of the crown prince and Zhu Di's "Jingnan" are the same thing. They are both usurping the throne of Dazong with Xiao Zong. In this case, he must fight to the death with the Queen Mother Sun and Zhu Qizhen's lineage. It is impossible to "peacefully" replace the Queen Mother Sun and Zhu Qizhen's lineage and become orthodox. I won't say much more about how greedy for life and fear of death Zhu Qizhen is. The Empress Dowager Sun is also a coward and has no courage at all. Otherwise, she could have taken advantage of the "Tumu Fort Incident" to bargain with the courtiers and get herself the opportunity to listen to politics behind the curtain (when Empress Dowager Zhang was still alive, the courtiers had actively asked her to listen to politics behind the curtain, so this is entirely possible). In this way, there would be no such thing as the following. If Zhu Qiyu does not change the prince, Empress Dowager Sun and Zhu Qizhen will most likely be able to get by. Zhu Qiyu may be able to remain the emperor peacefully for the rest of his life; but if Zhu Qiyu wants to change the prince, Empress Dowager Sun and Zhu Qizhen will have to find opportunities to fight back. Since Zhu Qiyu wanted to change the crown prince, he had to get rid of the Queen Mother Sun and Zhu Qizhen first. But he did nothing but lock up Zhu Qizhen and then replaced the crown prince. I have to say, he is really big-hearted! Zhu Qiyu made a fatal mistake by changing the prince without getting rid of the Queen Mother Sun and Zhu Qizhen. It was a big mistake to rush to change the prince when he only had one son! In that era, the probability of a child dying was extremely high, but Zhu Qiyu had been emperor for three years, but there was no movement in the harem. Logically speaking, he should be more cautious. But he still changed the prince hastily. As a result, his son died less than a year after he was established as prince. Without a spare tire, he suddenly fell into a dilemma! Of course, his only son is dead. As long as Zhu Qiyu is in good health, he can delay the establishment of the crown prince for a few years. However, he himself fell ill within a few years. What's even more terrible is that seven years have passed since he ascended the throne and fell ill. He also had a lot of concubines, but he did not give birth to a boy or a girl. No one in the court, except himself, had any confidence in his fertility! A storm is coming, and people in the court are panicking, but Zhu Qiyu seems to be unable to see the crisis, and still delays the establishment of a crown prince. He is probably still imagining that his illness will be cured and that he can have a son. Zhu Qiyu, who was seriously ill, exposed his selfish nature. Even though some of the courtiers made concessions, implying that he did not have to restore Zhu Jianshen as the crown prince and could choose his own successor, he was still unwilling to let go. Zhu Qiyu's move was the same as asking the courtiers who followed him to be buried with him! The courtiers must have been completely disappointed with Zhu Qiyu, so everyone began to consider their own retreat. Even Yu Qian and Yu Shaobao, who had remained silent, discussed with Wang Zhi, Hu Xi and others, planning to persuade Zhu Qiyu to reinstate Zhu Jianshen as the crown prince. Yu Qian's move should mean that he has also given up on Zhu Qiyu! You know, when Zhu Qiyu changed the crown prince, Yu Qian remained silent; after Zhu Jianji's death, many courtiers clamored for Zhu Qiyu to reinstate Zhu Jianshen as the crown prince, but Yu Qian still remained silent, and this silence should represent support. While Zhu Qiyu was still dreaming of having a son alone, the "Change of Seizing the Gate" happened. Zhu Qizhen sat on the long-lost throne again, and the courtiers collectively knelt down and recognized the restoration of the emperor. What is very intriguing is that when Zhu Di usurped the throne, a large number of courtiers stood up to defend Zhu Yunwen and were buried with him; when Zhu Qizhen was restored, no one stood up to defend Zhu Qiyu, and no one was willing to be buried with him. Even Wang Wen, who was favored by Zhu Qiyu, tried his best to defend himself and did not want to "martyr himself" for Zhu Qiyu.

The writing is excellent, the pace is appropriate, and it's pretty good. It's a pity that we take ancient times too much for granted. Whether it is state-owned land, prohibition of buying and selling, or modern military training, it is not in line with the production relations and production capabilities of the time. And in Machiavellian writing, one must resist the frequency of letting the protagonist pretend to be more than slapped in the face, especially when the protagonist is weak in the early stage. In my opinion, this protagonist is too crazy. He anticipates people's hearts but does not take any precautions or preparations. His survival depends entirely on the aura given by the author.

The protagonist keeps telling the emperor about the dangers of land annexation! Let the emperor give the land to others! But what does the protagonist do himself? If you have money, let your family members buy land and divide it? You are really a "famous double standard"

Zhu Qiyu was too soft. He took advantage of a great victory and directly poisoned his grandson, cleaned up everything, and even set fire to Zhu Qizhen. Don't think it's impossible. When Zhu Di came to power, Zhu Biao's other sons died in various ways. The emperor wanted to be ruthless. The consequences of Zhu Qiyu's lack of ruthlessness would be that he would be betrayed and his heirs would die for various reasons.

I find that the government is not taken seriously in current novels. Even if it is a world of high martial arts and immortality, why don't you think about how to establish a dynasty without any strength to protect it? If an individual or a small family could really ignore the government, then this dynasty would have been overthrown eight hundred times. This is really stupid.
