Chapter 1 Zhu Youjian? Zhu Youjian!

In the seventh year of Tianqi, my deception gave up Jiaozhi, which had three ripe rice a year; in the second year of Tianqi, Guangning was defeated by the Later Jin Dynasty in the battle against us, retreated to Shanhaiguan, and the entire northeast was lost.

The population soared, and the land was sharply reduced, and the per capita arable land in the Ming Dynasty was naturally pitifully small. In addition, the royal relatives, bureaucrats and gentry who never paid taxes, all taxes and corvee labor was pressed on the common people. "The poor have no place to stand, and the rich have a lot of fields to connect with the fields." This was by no means an exaggerated adjective at that time, but an unquestionable fact.

To this day, the Ming Dynasty is like a cancer patient in the late stage. Not to mention that Zhu Youjian, who had never received imperial education and was good at the hands of women in the deep palace, even if he put the Qin Shihuang, Emperor Wu of Han, and Emperor Taizong of Tang, who were recognized in history as the emperor for the ages, it would be difficult to turn the tide.

Zhu Youjian also refused to become Zhu Youjian because of the difficulties in the Ming Dynasty. He refused to accept reality.

However, during these three days of confusion, Zhu Youjian always remembered the strange dreams he had had for decades in his previous life.

When he was young, he was protected by his brother and sister-in-law, and he was free and easy to eat and wear. Until his brother passed away, the young man took over thousands of miles of land from his brother. From then on, he ate and ate every night, and was busy and vigilant. At the age of 20, he turned white with wrinkles like ravines.

But even though he worked diligently for 17 years, the young man became middle-aged, but he still could not save the fate of the collapse of the dynasty and the destruction of his family. The picture in the dream finally freezes on an old tree growing on a crooked neck growing on the Coal Mountain.

How many times did I dream about it at midnight? How many times did I wake up and tears wet my pillowcase...

At this point, Zhu Youjian finally understood one thing: the relationship between him, Zhu Youjian and Zhu Youjian may be in the past and present lives.

"Well! From now on, I, Zhu Youjian, will be Zhu Youjian, and I will take on the ten thousand miles of my ancestors' country left behind!"

...

"Come here, change clothes for me, and I want to have meals!"

Thinking of the ten thousand jin of the country that he was responsible for, Zhu Youjian... Well, from now on, he has been called Zhu Youjian. Zhu Youjian has changed his listlessness for three days, confused, with his eyes shining brightly, and he ordered the maid guarding outside the door.

"Squeak!"

At this time, a sound came from the door, and then a burst of footsteps rushed in with the fragrant wind.

"Your Highness, are you finally willing to have a meal? I asked the kitchen to cook a pot of bird's nest lotus seed porridge, which was still hot." As a sound of surprise mixed with care came, a beautiful and dignified woman in palace clothes jumped into Zhu Youjian's eyes.

This woman is Zhu Youjian’s first wife, today’s Princess, and the Queen of Zhou in the future.

Princess Xin is only seventeen years old and is the same age as Zhu Youjian. She looks generous and beautiful, has a decent appearance, and has white skin as white as jade, which is considered a national color.

"Chongzhen Palace Ci" records her: the queen is beautiful, but she does not care about Tu Ze; "The Old Beijing Lie" also records: Queen Lie's holy nature is Duan Ning, and the queen's jade body is calm and stable.

Judging from Zhu Youjian's eyes on how to read all the flowers in modern times, Princess Xin really lives up to the records in history books. She has the highest color and is no worse than the actors and stars in later generations. In addition, her precious identity as the prince and princess, her posture is even more graceful.

Seeing Princess Xin coming in, Zhu Youjian hurriedly greeted her and said calmly: "Why are you here? You don't have to work so hard. I am just worried about the health of the emperor's brother Long Ti, and I just forgot to eat and sleep. Now it's great."

Although he thought that he and Zhu Youjian had a relationship between his past and present life, Zhu Youjian only integrated some of Zhu Youjian's memories that were more profound, and most of them were still in chaos. When he saw his wife who was with him day and night, he was afraid that he could reveal his clues.

"Your Highness, the raw materials for this bowl of bird's nest porridge are collected from Qiongzhou Prefecture, which is the best bird's nest tribute that most people can't taste. In other words, the emperor's sister-in-law is worried about your body, so she promised me two taels and told me to cook it to nourish you and regulate your body."

Fortunately, Princess Xin was poisoned by the Three Obediences and Four Virtues since she was a child, and she did not notice the fleeting panic in Zhu Youjian's eyes. She elegantly and decently directed her maid to cook for Zhu Youjian.

"The emperor's sister-in-law really has nothing to say to me. I don't know how to repay her kindness to me. Well, I've been in a daze these days, but I have worked hard for you." Zhu Youjian smelled the fragrance from the bird's nest porridge, and his index finger moved. He didn't care about the etiquette and rules, picked up the spoon and swallowed it voraciously.

"Look at your eating habits, you're so rude." Princess Xin smiled.

Zhu Youjian felt a sudden heart, worried that he would show his strength, so he quickly explained: "I haven't eaten much in the past few days and I'm so hungry."
