At the beginning, Qin Shi Huang traveled to my home

Chapter 221: The Ming Dynasty fell?

I only drank two cups and didn't dare drink more.

"In the fourth year of Chongzhen, your elder brother, Song Yingxing, became the county magistrate of Tongxiang, Zhejiang, while you, Song Yingxing, returned to your hometown to take care of your mother.

In the eighth year of Chongzhen, Senior Song Yingxing, you were sent to teach in Fenyi County, Yuanzhou Prefecture, Jiangxi Province, but you were just a low-ranking teaching staff.

In the same year, your brother was promoted to Wenlinlang because of his political achievements.

Senior Song Yingxing, you taught in Fenyi County for four years, which was also your most important time, because all your major works were published during this period,” Xiao Liwu began.

Song Yingxing thought, is it until the Chongzhen period?

Could Chongzhen be the next emperor?

"Little Immortal, is Chongzhen the next emperor of our Majesty?" Song Yingxing asked. He had also seen this Emperor Chongzhen in the barrage.

It was such a miserable life.

Xiao Li Wu quickly shook her head, and Wang Zhenyi also shook her head. As a person from a later dynasty, Wang Zhenyi naturally knew some history, and besides, the Ming Dynasty was not far from the Qing Dynasty.

"No, no, no. After Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty, there were Emperor Guangzong of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Changluo, Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Youjiao, and Emperor Sizong of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Youjian. Well, this Zhu Youjian, also known as Emperor Chongzhen, was the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty," Xiao Liwu frowned.

Song Yingxing was dumbfounded. No, there were three emperors after their Majesty, and he actually lived to see the last emperor. That couldn't be...

Song Yingxing guessed it all, and he would probably not die young.

The comments also gave various speculations. Logically speaking, there were three emperors after Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty. It was impossible for Song Yingxing to live to the end of the last emperor. Therefore, there must have been an emperor who died too young.

Damn it, Ming Taizu and Ming Chengzu, didn’t they? Did the emperors change so quickly?

No wonder the Ming Dynasty became like this later.

"However, Emperor Guangzong Zhu Changluo was only emperor for 29 days before he died suddenly.

The next Ming Xizong, Zhu Youjiao, only reigned for seven years before he drowned.

Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty had three sons, but they all died young, so the throne was passed to Emperor Sizong of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjian, who was Xizong's younger brother.

So it means that the time between Emperor Shenzong and Emperor Sizong was not that long," Xiao Liwu explained. In fact, he had some doubts about the deaths of Emperor Guangzong and Emperor Xizong.

As an emperor, it is very abnormal for him to die suddenly. And some people died by falling into the water. This is also not reasonable.

Song Yingxing frowned slightly. How could this be possible? Could it be those treacherous ministers who did it?

Song Yingxing couldn't help but worry about the future of the Ming Dynasty.

During the reign of Emperor Taizu of Ming Dynasty, "the emperor died suddenly within a month and also drowned. How could such a coincidence happen?" Emperor Taizu said with a dark face, staring at his ministers.

The ministers looked at each other in bewilderment, and no one dared to say anything, fearing that they would anger Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, who would then take his anger out on them.

However, they also smelled a conspiracy and were unhappy. As people of the Ming Dynasty, they naturally could not hope for the Ming Dynasty to fall. What happened next?

Ming Guangzong Zhu Changluo was dumbfounded. Wasn’t he going to die?

He had just become the emperor, he had just become the emperor, it had only been two days since he ascended the throne, and already he was being told that he was going to die?

No, he feels that he is in very, very good health now. He is still young and he can still live!

Emperor Guangzong of the Ming Dynasty was very panicked. He called many imperial doctors to stay by his side and even asked his ancestors for advice on what to do. He didn't want to die in obscurity.

Ming Xizong Zhu Youxiao was dumbfounded. No, he died after falling into the water?

His health isn't that bad, is it?

what?

Died so easily?

He didn't believe it and quickly called the imperial physician.

"In the tenth year of Chongzhen, your work The Exploitation of the Works of Nature, Song Yingxing, was completed and published.

In June and July of the same year, he also wrote "On Heaven" and "Talking about Heaven", both of which are works on natural theory.

In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Senior Song Yingxing's term of office in Fenyi finally expired, and you were promoted to a minor official, becoming the magistrate of Tingzhou Prefecture in Fujian, a subordinate official under the Provincial Surveillance Commissioner, in charge of the prisons of the prefecture.

During your tenure, Mr. Song Yingxing was cautious and conscientious, abided by his duties, was honest in his official duties, cared about the suffering of the people and the common people, and for this you were loved by the local people.

Two years later, Senior Song Yingxing, your boss blamed you for not doing your best to suppress the pirates, so you resigned in anger and went home.

Alas, I don’t want to be an official anymore. I’m angry, so I resign.

But three years later, you became an official again and went to Haozhou, Fengyang Prefecture, Nanzhili, to serve as the prefect.

But the Ming Dynasty at that time was already on the verge of collapse." Little Li Wu shook his head. It was not only failing, but there was cholera everywhere.

Not only Song Yingxing felt uncomfortable, but the people of the Ming Dynasty were also very uncomfortable, especially those during the Chongzhen period. When they knew that their country was going to perish, if they said they were not sad, that would definitely be a lie.

Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty and Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty were in a rage, cursing the emperors behind them as useless people, and scolding them harshly in the barrage.

The emperors behind the Ming Dynasty were trembling in fear and did not dare to refute at all. No one dared to refute.

They didn't even need to see the people; just from these words, they could already imagine the murderous intent of Taizu and Chengzu.

Especially Taizu, I heard that he liked to skin people and stuff them with straw.

"After you, Senior Song Yingxing, took office, the place was in such a state of disrepair. Because of the war, there was not even a place to hold court, and many officials fled for their lives.

So, Senior Song Yingxing worked hard to rebuild it and donated money to build a college in the city.

However, not long after, at the beginning of the next year, the surrounding areas of Haozhou were surrounded by Li Zicheng's peasant soldiers.

Senior Song Yingxing, you had no choice but to resign from your official position and return to Fengxin. You also knew very well that the Ming Dynasty was powerless to recover.

There are wars and rebellions everywhere. "

After hearing this, many people felt uncomfortable and could relate to the situation, especially the emperors of the later period, who felt that the plot was simply playing them.

Their current situation is that there is war everywhere and everyone wants to rebel.

"And your elder brother, Song Yingxing, was already the prefect of Guangzhou at the time, but due to the war, he had no desire to be an official, so he returned home.

In March of the 17th year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng's army directly captured the capital and the Ming Dynasty was declared extinct!

In April, the Qing army entered the pass and established its capital in Beijing. Mr. Song Yingxing, you became a citizen of a fallen country.

In May, Prince Fu established the Southern Ming Dynasty, and Senior Song Yingxing and you and your brother placed your hopes on Prince Fu.

They thought that the other party could restore the Ming Dynasty, but in the end, the regime on Prince Fu's side was controlled by the eunuchs Ruan Dacheng and Ma Shiying, who excluded the city of loyalty. They were just a group of rabble and had no strength at all.

Not long after, the Southern Ming Dynasty also perished under the iron hoof of the Qing Dynasty.

When the Qing army captured Jiangxi, your brother Song Yingsheng also committed suicide by taking poison.

Senior Song Yingxing, after you buried your brother with honor, you lived a secluded life," Xiao Liwu sighed, thinking that Senior Song Yingxing must have been desperate at that time.

I watched my country fall apart and my family ruined, but I was completely powerless and helpless.
