Invitation declined: Multiverse Mall is now open for business

Page 18Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian, was very nervous and said...

The opportunity to change the fate of the Ming Dynasty is right in front of him; if he fails to seize it, it will be too tragic.

”Don’t worry, you can afford it.”

”Martial arts manuals and medicinal herbs can all be exchanged for value points. You can purchase items worth up to 10000 value points first.”

Ye Hao said.

”I want to buy the History of the Ming Dynasty.”

Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian, quickly said.

”Give.”

Ye Hao waved his hand gently, and a copy of the History of Ming Dynasty floated from the crystal display case into the hands of Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian.

How does history record my story?

After receiving the History of Ming, Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian, went straight to the table of contents and opened the section about himself, his expression a mixture of anticipation and trepidation.

”Zhu Youjian, the sixteenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and also the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty as a unified national regime...”

”In the seventeenth year of the Chongzhen Emperor’s reign, when Li Zicheng captured Beijing, Zhu Youjian hanged himself from a crooked tree on Coal Hill at the age of thirty-four...”

However, upon reading the description of Emperor Chongzhen (Zhu Youjian) in the History of Ming, Emperor Chongzhen was completely stunned, as if struck by lightning.

Was he a ruler who brought about the downfall of his kingdom?

The country fell in the seventeenth year of the Chongzhen Emperor’s reign, and now it is the twelfth year. There are only five more years until the country falls?

And he even hanged himself from a crooked tree?

Chapter Seventeen: Emperor Chongzhen, ”Ancestor Zhu Di, please help me!” [Seeking flowers and votes!]

”How could this be?”

Emperor Chongzhen looked somewhat distraught, his face contorted in a grimace.

He never imagined that he would not only be the ruler of a fallen kingdom.

Moreover, the Ming Dynasty only has five more years of existence before it perishes.

This result was completely beyond the imagination of Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian.

”Moreover, the Ming Dynasty’s territory was ultimately seized by barbarians.”

What Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian, found most unacceptable was that although Li Zicheng had captured Beijing, the country was ultimately taken over by the Jurchens, whom he had always looked down upon.

However, Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian, soon discovered a cruel problem.

Even though he had read the history of the Ming Dynasty and knew some of the future, the Ming Dynasty was still in danger of collapsing.

Because the Ming Dynasty simply ran out of money and grain.

”Fuck me!”

The next moment, Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian, uttered a curse, his face turning ashen, and his whole body radiating a chilling murderous aura.

He always thought that the Ming Dynasty was poor and that its officials were poor.

However, historical records clearly state that when Li Zicheng captured Beijing, he looted more than 70 million taels of silver from the city.

If he had that much silver, it would be enough to destroy the Jurchens.

”The Donglin Party, Huang Taiji, Dorgon...”

Each power and each name was deeply etched into the memory of Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian.

”Lord, I want to see your future life; I want to buy it.”

”I also buy summaries of historical trends.”⑨

”I’ll also buy this biography of Emperor Chongzhen.”⑨

·····⑤

All of these historical materials were downloaded by Ye Hao from his own phone. ⑤

”Ha-hoo~” ”Ha-hoo~” ”Ha-hoo~” ······⑥

When Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian, finished reading these historical records, he became as cold as ice, radiating a terrifying chill. ③

In particular, the image of himself, pale and bruised, hanging from a crooked tree, while viewing his future self brought unimaginable psychological trauma to Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian. ⑦

”Lord of the city, take whatever you need from the Ming Dynasty’s treasury. I want to exchange it all for value points.”

The last vestige of reason that remained in Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian, kept him sober, and he spoke with a respectful expression.

”I will only accept your medicinal herbs, which are worth approximately 12000 value points. After deducting the value points spent this time, you can continue to use the remaining value points in the future.”

Ye Hao nodded slightly.

As soon as he finished speaking, in the world of ”The Sword of Blood,” the precious medicinal herbs such as ginseng, snow lotus, and lingzhi in the imperial palace’s medicine storehouse all vanished without a trace.

”Thank you, Lord City Lord.”

After Emperor Chongzhen (Zhu Youjian) finished speaking, he quickly left the Myriad Realms Mall.

He feared he would no longer be able to suppress his murderous intent.

”Wang Chengen, immediately dispatch three thousand Imperial Guards and ten thousand Imperial Soldiers.”

In the world of ”The Sword Stained with Royal Blood,” inside the imperial palace, Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian, expressionlessly wiped a precious sword and issued an order.

”Yes!”

A middle-aged eunuch quickly accepted the order.

”What business does His Majesty have with us?”

”Perhaps they’re asking for information about the bandits?”

”It shouldn’t be that simple. They even mobilized 10,000 Imperial Guards. Things can’t be that simple.”

······

About half an hour later, a group of high-ranking officials, including the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the commander of the Imperial Guard, numbering about a dozen people, entered the palace with great concern.

”Greetings to Your Majesty!”

A dozen or so people, led by Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, kowtowed and said.

”Everyone, bow your heads and don’t look up.”

Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian, said something, then walked behind the group. Amidst the puzzled expressions of the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the others, he beheaded the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard with a single sword stroke.

Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, surrendered to the Jin dynasty in history.

”Now that the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard is dead, all the high-ranking members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard are here. The only one who got out alive was the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.”

After Emperor Chongzhen (Zhu Youjian) finished speaking, he walked out directly.

”His Majesty!”

In the end, one person, covered in blood, stood out. He was originally just a middle-aged man named Wang Jiu, who was only a commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

“There are three thousand Imperial Guards outside. You can kill them as you please. In a quarter of an hour, I need an Imperial Guard who can carry out any order.”

Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian, directly handed Wang Jiu an imperial edict appointing him as the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

”Go, seal off the nine gates!”

”If even one person leaves, their entire family will be exterminated!”

Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian, then turned to the commander of the Imperial Guards, who were trembling with fear inside the hall, and gave them an order.

”His Majesty!”

Wang Jiu returned in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

”set off!”

Then everyone witnessed a crazy scene: Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian, personally led more than two thousand Imperial Guards to behead everyone from the Grand Secretary to the Ministers of the Six Ministries.

They cut down enemies from the east to the west of the city, and from the south to the north.

From the dog of the Grand Secretary to the cat of the Vice Minister of Rites.

At the same time, there were also boxes of gold and silver jewelry carried out by the Imperial Guards.

There were fifty million taels of silver and eight million taels of gold.

If jewelry and calligraphy are included, the value exceeds one hundred million taels.

”What’s next?”

After doing all this, Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian, also came to his senses, his eyelids twitching.

Cool is cool.

But how do we clean up this mess?

”Return to the Myriad Realms Mall.”

Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian, quickly said.

He plans to seek help from the Myriad Worlds Mall.
