Live broadcast: Take our ancestors to see modern China

[In the thousands of years of Chinese history, there have been marriages, tributes, alliances, and cession of territory and payment of indemnities, but there is such a dynasty, and its famous saying is:

No marriage, no indemnity, no land cession, no tribute, the emperor will guard the country, and the king will die!

————Ming Dynasty】

Tang/Song/Qing/Han: OK, OK, here you go again! You have to step on us to become famous, right?

When the Ming Dynasty heard that it was about them, they immediately became excited. This is great news! Our Ming Dynasty will definitely become famous!

Zhu Yuanzhang did not attack Zhu Di at this moment, as he was eager to see how the Ming Dynasty would develop in the future.

The emperors of other dynasties also sat up straight and saw how this dynasty did it.

[But an accident happened, which made people wonder if they were swapped. Ahem, let's talk about the highlight of Ming Dynasty first.]

[One day in March 1352, a monk with a shaved head and ragged clothes was running on the road. He was Zhu Yuanzhang. No one knew that he would be the founding emperor who overthrew the Yuan Dynasty and established the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang was born in a poor family. When he was 17 years old, his parents passed away. Zhu Yuanzhang had no money to buy a coffin for his parents, so he buried his parents with the help of kind neighbors.

In a blink of an eye, the monk became a member of the rebel army at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. Here he met his benefactor in this life and his future queen, Empress Ma. Empress Ma was once a wealthy family, but her family fell into poverty. Her father entrusted her to her good friend Guo Zixing and she became his adopted daughter.

Zhu Yuanzhang can be regarded as the emperor with the least backing. Liu Bang was a village headman, but he started with a bowl and ended up with a country. He was a farmer, a monk, a beggar, and finally became an emperor. Even novels are not so awesome. It's a pity that because the crown prince Zhu Biao died early, many people were killed to pave the way for the new emperor. The famous "Lan Yu Case" involved 15,000 people. 】

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little embarrassed at the moment, after all, he had killed so many of his former good brothers in history. But at that time, the new emperor ascended the throne, and no one could suppress him, so there was nothing he could do.

But now that the prince comes to the palace for medical consultation every day, Old Zhu just can't believe that his eldest son will die.

Zhu Biao also knew that it was probably because he was dead by then and Xiong Ying and the others were not there, so his father had to point his knife at the military generals for Zhu Yunwen.

Although the ministers in the court had some complaints in their hearts, they did not show it on their faces. Okay, there is no need for us to sharpen our knives and start killing, right?

Thinking that the empress and the prince would be gone by then and her life would be in danger, she became terrified again. She had to keep the empress and the prince alive and well, otherwise the emperor would turn against her at any time.

[It’s a pity that not long after Zhu Yunwen came to power, he began his journey of reducing the power of the princes: in April of the first year of Jianwen, he reduced the power of the three princes Qi, Xiang and Dai and demoted them to commoners.

Soon the King of Qi and the King of Dai were forced to surrender their military power. The King of Qi was placed under house arrest in Nanjing, and the King of Dai was placed under house arrest in his fiefdom of Datong.

King Bo of Xiang was terrified and had no way to defend himself, so he and his entire palace were burned to death.

Two months later, the King of Min was deposed, demoted to a commoner, and exiled to Zhangzhou.

Unexpectedly, when preparing to remove the Prince of Yan, Zhu Di, under the advice of Yao Guangxiao, launched an army in the name of "clearing the emperor's side and calming the internal troubles", which is known in history as the "Battle of Jingnan".

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect that his great grandson would give him such a big surprise. Look at these sons, some are shorn, some are useless, and some are dead. What's wrong? Did he want to see his sons so early?

To all the uncles who were recalled when the sky curtain appeared: I didn’t expect that this unborn nephew is so capable that he killed them all!

Looking at the little Zhu Di behind him, he didn't expect that his fourth brother could succeed in his rebellion! Not bad, not bad, it can be regarded as a relief for them.

Zhu Biao never expected that his future son would treat his younger brothers like this. You have to know that his younger brothers were almost all raised by him, and they have a deep brotherly love. It is really hard to accept.

At this moment, young Zhu Di thought, why would he rebel against his elder brother? It was because Zhu Yunwen did not take the lives of his uncles seriously.

The screen is still changing, this time it is a video.

[“Stop the Yongle Encyclopedia! How can I face my ancestors in the underworld?”

"I have fought for my country all my life, I have worked hard all my life, I have done nothing wrong, I do not admit this, even if I am beaten to the eighteenth level of hell, I will not admit it! People in the future will know me, I have never wasted a single day, I have never asked for anything for myself, people in the future will know it"

"I can kill enemies on horseback and govern the country on foot. No emperor in history can compare to me."

The emperor spent his entire life's achievements to clear his name.

Fate brought him to a height he had never imagined. He rebelled and became emperor. The ministers cursed him as a traitor and worse than a beast.

He pacified the grassland and swept across the northern desert despite being charged with a crime; he compiled the first encyclopedia in history; he recovered Annan and consolidated the border territories; he moved the capital north and dredged the canal, so that the north-south water transport was unimpeded; he established the country's great prestige and attracted all nations to come to pay tribute.

He did so much, but he was still worried: "Can these clear my name?"

Even when he was old and gray, he could not forget the fire in the palace, the memories that haunted him like a nightmare, and Zhu Yunwen who disappeared in the fire and became an eternal mystery.

He is Zhu Di, Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty. 】

Listening to Tianmu's narration of the events, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Di who was hiding behind Zhu Biao, and scolded with a smile: "Come here, we won't beat you."

He sighed and used all his peaceful strength to say: "I want you to remember, as long as your elder brother is still alive and well, you must not have the intention of treason, remember this!" Then he returned to his normal tone.

Zhu Di nodded vigorously and said, "I understand."

Looking up at the sky, it seemed as if I saw Zhu Di as an adult. In the emperor group chat, I patted Zhu Di on the shoulder and said, "I know. Since you are the emperor, you must do a good job for me and make the people of the Ming Dynasty safe and happy!"

When Zhu Di heard what his father said, his eyes became red even though he was the emperor. He thought he would bear this infamy for the rest of his life, but today his father said in person that he forgave him. How great, how great!

There were bursts of hearty laughter coming from the imperial study, a mixture of joy and relief.

Zhu Gaochi and others did not spoil the fun and stood respectfully beside them. This emperor had not laughed like this for a long time.

Ying Zheng looked up at the sky and his eyes flashed with admiration when he saw the achievements of later emperors. He was good at both civil and military affairs, and was indeed a qualified king. It's a pity that he is not by my side.

The First Emperor now wants things from later generations, and sees that the emperors after him also want them, but it's a pity that the time is too far away. But when he thinks of the few people who were arranged in the early Han Dynasty, he is a little relieved, at least he got a few talents.

I look forward to Tianmu providing more good things, but don't let him down~

Li Shimin became a little restless as he watched Zhu Di roaming the battlefield, and looked at the civil and military officials in the court.

"My dear, I want to..."

Before he could finish his words, he was blocked by the rare united front of military officers and civil servants.

What a joke! If His Majesty were to lead the army in person, would it be because these generals are too old to lift the swords?

Wei Zheng also stood up and said that the emperor should lead the army in person, which was a serious matter, so Li Shimin sat back down.

He used to be a general, and now he is an emperor, but he no longer has the freedom he had before, Li Shimin muttered.

[All good things must come to an end, heroes must also grow old, and this dynasty also ushered in its twilight years.

In 1628 AD, Zhu Youjian ascended the throne and became Emperor Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen reigned for 17 years and issued edicts of repentance six times, the emperor who issued the most edicts of repentance among all the ancient Chinese emperors.

In the eighth year of Chongzhen, the peasant uprising army captured the Zhongdu Fengyang and burned down the imperial mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the situation was turbulent due to internal and external troubles.

In the tenth year of Chongzhen, disasters continued across the country, and the Central Plains experienced an unprecedented drought, with thousands of miles of barren land.

In the 15th year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty was already on the decline. The Battle of Songjin was lost outside the Great Wall, and the elite troops of the Nine Frontiers of the Ming Dynasty were annihilated. Li Zicheng besieged Kaifeng three times, and the Yellow River embankment collapsed and Kaifeng was flooded, hundreds of thousands of people suffered. The Qing army launched the fifth invasion of the Great Wall to plunder.

In the 16th year of Chongzhen, the plague spread to the capital.

In the 17th year of Chongzhen, when Li Zicheng was approaching Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen issued the fifth edict of self-criticism, hoping that all the subjects in the world would join him in facing the national crisis.

In March of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng entered Beijing, and Emperor Chongzhen and Wang Chengen hanged themselves on Coal Hill. The last edict of self-criticism was issued:

"I have been on the throne for seventeen years, and the rebels have been approaching the capital. Although I am a person of low moral character and have offended the heaven, which has led to the rebels approaching the capital, it is all the fault of my ministers. When I die, I will not be able to face my ancestors in the underworld. I will take off my crown and cover my face with my hair. Let the rebels dismember my body, but do not hurt any of the people!"

Before his death, in order not to repeat the mistakes of the "Jingkang Shame" of the Song Dynasty, he drew his sword and killed his concubines and princesses. Queen Zhou committed suicide. That day, the palace walls were filled with an unstoppable smell of rust. He bit his finger to write a will, and finally hanged himself on Coal Hill outside Shenwu Gate.

When the Southern Song Dynasty fell, 100,000 people jumped into the sea to express their determination; after the Ming Dynasty was defeated, the emperor hanged himself, and the eunuch Wang Chengen who accompanied him committed suicide without hesitation. A group of palace maids looked determined and also bravely chose to die by jumping into the river.

Since then, the Ming Dynasty has perished. 】

People from all dynasties could not help but admire this final tragic scene.

No matter how he was in power as an emperor, he still had the backbone that was no less than that of a ruler of a country, and the compassion that worried about the people.

Although the king of a fallen country has been criticized, it must be said that the Ming Dynasty truly achieved the goal of the emperor guarding the country's borders and the king dying for the country!

Zhu Di looked at the last words of his descendants and could not help but sigh. Great! They were all good emperors of the Ming Dynasty. Even though the emperors of that generation were destroyed in the end, they were not as cowardly as the Song Dynasty.

The emperor, court officials, and common people of the Ming Dynasty all left comments in the Tianmu comment area:

The Ming Dynasty is mighty!

The sun, the moon and the country will last forever, and the Ming Dynasty will last forever!

Long live the Ming Dynasty!

And so on. This moment is the exclusive stage of Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Chat Group

Qin Zulong: As expected of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor guards the country's gates and the king dies for the country. Wow!

Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che: Good! With such a dynasty in front of us, life must be hard in the future, right? Right? Qing Dynasty [dog head]

Zhu Di: Of course! Our Ming Dynasty does not marry, pay tribute, cede territory, or pay compensation. How can the Tartars compare to us? Look at how badly people in later generations were bullied. Maybe it was their own fault!

Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty: ...

As soon as Zhu Di said this, all the more sensational moments were gone. Yes, yes, you have to raise your slogan, right?

The comments in the comment section also allowed many people to see the love that later generations had for this dynasty.

"The Ming Dynasty, the five dragons ruled together, created a prosperous Ming Dynasty. But, it was a pity that it became a disaster later..."

"The Song Dynasty felt that there was something wrong with its ancestral tombs, and it could not produce many good emperors; the Ming Dynasty felt that there was something wrong with its genes, and it could not produce a long-lived emperor [laughing and crying][laughing and crying]"

"Zhu Di, an emperor with the honor of Fenglangjuxu. He can pacify the world with his writing, and he can rule the world with his military skills!"

"Zhu Di frightened them, Zhu Zhanji subdued them, and Zhu Qizhen made them laugh."

"As we all know, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty had many side jobs, but Zhu Qizhen was an exception."

"Words cannot record the grandeur of history. The merits and demerits will be judged by future generations. A dynasty with a sense of justice deserves the respect of all people!"

"The scope of the land is far greater than that of the Han and Tang dynasties! The achievements are magnificent and outstanding."

……

大 明

Zhu Di stared at Zhu Zhanji. If he dared to let Zhu Qizhen be born, he would not be his good grandson!

Zhu Zhanji wanted to cry but had no tears at this moment. How many beatings had he received from his unborn son? Fathers always cheated their sons, but how come it was the son who cheated his father, and the son was the unborn son! He didn't know where to vent his anger, and he couldn't say anything about his suffering.

Seeing Tianmu mentioning Zhu Qizhen like this, Zhu Qiyu thought, why not just not show up again? Thinking about what the empress dowager and court officials wanted to mention, Zhu Qiyu's mouth turned cold. If he wanted him to come out, he didn't know whether his ancestors and the people would agree!

In the court of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che looked at the ministers below and asked: "This king of the fallen Ming Dynasty has such courage. Our Han Dynasty has good generals and is free of disasters. How can we not defeat the Xiongnu!"

The ministers were discussing this. You know, they thought that Your Majesty was too aggressive and aggressive, and that the national treasury could not make up for the wars every year. In the past, there was a marriage to ease the war, but asking them to bring it up now would undoubtedly be a slap in their own face.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty would rather hang himself and chop his concubines and princesses to death than allow the enemy to get involved, and would not ask for peace or pay tribute. What can they say about this...

But they felt that the previous recuperation was the safest strategy. This was their strategy before the Han Dynasty. But they remembered the chaos of the Jin Dynasty at the end of the Han Dynasty. People were eaten as food, and they could not say they would not fight.

Although the direction revealed by the sky is still far away, who would want their descendants to be cooked and dismembered by foreigners? They should immediately change their attitude and make a firm statement to beat them, and beat them severely so that they dare not and cannot invade the Central Plains again.

At this moment, everyone was filled with righteous indignation and wanted to beat them severely. When someone suggested that they could sell goods in their homes to raise military funds, they all rushed forward.

They all submitted petitions to donate money and grain, and there was even a hint of competition.

What a joke, losing money is ok, but losing face? Absolutely not!

Liu Che did not expect that this group of people would gain such a great harvest after being stimulated. Looking at the officials one by one, it was like looking at piles of shining silver!

Sang Hongyang had never expected that his colleagues who usually cried poor were now like wealthy people, and the overwhelming wealth they had received was a little unreal. Looking at the emperor's eyes in the distance, the two smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.
