Chapter 329: The Initiator Has No Successor
In the early days, Yingzong did not dare to dismiss the two princes, but later experienced the experience of being captured by Wara, and knew the suffering of the prisoners, so he moved to release their mercy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn fact, Yingzong's life as a prisoner is much different from that of the two princes, although Warat controls him, he is still not rude to him, and he leads the major chiefs to pay homage when he has nothing to do. Once, he had to give his daughter to Yingzong's bed. Yingzong understood that this was to keep his dragon species, and coveted the throne of the dynasty in the future, so he resolutely refused to give in. Warat was afraid that he would be depressed, so he sent someone to hunt with him if he had nothing to do, except that he was a prisoner, and he also tasted bitterness at all. Wara just wanted to use Yingzong as a trump card to extort money from the Ming Dynasty, and there was no need to abuse him.
Later, through the efforts of some ministers of the Ming Dynasty, the two sides reached an agreement and finally invited Yingzong back.
Emperor Jing at that time was Yingzong's younger brother, and after Yingzong was captured, Yu Qian and others supported Emperor Jing to supervise the country, and then ascended the throne. Emperor Jing has always insisted on vetoing Yingzong's return, but the ministers unanimously promised that Yingzong's identity as the emperor will be the emperor and will never support him to restore the throne. Emperor Jing really had no choice but to agree to welcome the imperial brother back to China.
Instead of living a few days as the emperor, Yingzong really became a prisoner.
People's hearts are unpredictable, and those ministers who support Yingzong have changed their psychology after Yingzong's return, hoping to make extraordinary contributions by extraordinary things, and plan day and night to support Yingzong's restoration. The so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, once the restoration is successful, these people will not only occupy a high position, but also be crowned a marquis and a prince for supporting merit.
Emperor Jing was aware of it, so he asked the people around him to ban the emperor's palace, cut off internal and external contacts, and even cut off the food supply, and sealed the palace gate with molten iron, wanting to starve Yingzong and his queen Empress Qian to death to prevent future troubles.
But there was no shortage of people in the palace who sympathized with Yingzong, and they secretly dug a dog hole under the palace wall and sent food and clothing inside. After Empress Qian was captured by Yingzong, she washed her face with tears day and night, her eyes were almost blind from crying, and when she was imprisoned, she sewed all kinds of manual work in the dim light, and asked those palace maids and eunuchs to take them out to exchange some nutritious food for Yingzong, and finally lost her eyes completely.
Emperor Jing failed to starve Yingzong to death, but he was seriously ill, and the palace was in turmoil for a while, and the ministers who supported Yingzong saw that the opportunity had come, and immediately broke the blockade to rescue Yingzong who was under house arrest, and announced the restoration of Emperor Taishang. After Emperor Jing in the dormitory heard the news, he died of shock, and some people said that he was killed in the chaos, and it is impossible to verify what it is.
Yingzong's restoration did not encounter any obstacles, after all, he was the lord of the world, and the civil and military ministers at this time were basically the ministers he was in power, and they did not resist his restoration.
This incident is the famous door grabbing incident in the history of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, the palace gate was split, and there was no one to fight for at all, and the guards at that time heard that these people wanted to support the restoration of Yingzong, and they all dispersed in a hurry, and no one dared to stop them.
The restoration of Yingzong can be said to be the heart of the world, but those civil and military ministers in the name of seizing the door have taken the credit of heaven as their own and wantonly made marquis and uncle for themselves. That's it, they also took the opportunity to eliminate dissent, and put Yu Qian, the hero of the military department who resisted the invasion of Wara, and others into prison, and executed them for treason without going through strict legal procedures.
Yingzong had just been reinstated, his power had not yet been consolidated, and government affairs were piled up, and when he learned the news of Yu Qian, he lost his voice, and it was too late to stop it. Even the blind Queen Qian was furious: "Why did you kill Yu Shangshu?!" ”
Yingzong's restoration was successful, and he suddenly thought that there were two imperial uncles who had lived a lifetime of imprisonment, which were also royal flesh and blood. Finally, he was merciful and ordered the two imperial uncles to be freed.
The two sons of poor Emperor Jianwen were in their fifties at this time, and they had never stepped out of the house. Before this, they didn't say that they hadn't seen so many people, not even pigs, cows, horses and sheep.
Not long after they were freed, the two princes had a nervous breakdown and died, and they really couldn't stand the blow. Such a thing is really unimaginable! No matter how big the brain hole is, it is impossible to guess the mood of the two princes at that time.
Besides, every time I think of this, I feel endless sadness from the bottom of my heart, isn't this the Ming Dynasty version of "Truman's World"? Hollywood screenwriters racked their brains to conceive such a wonderful story, thinking that there would never be such a thing in the real world, and how did they know that the Ming Dynasty in China had been staged in advance seven or eight hundred years ago, and it was more peculiar and tragic than they could have conceived.
The tragedy of the "world" is nothing more tragic than the mansion where the two princes were placed under house arrest all their lives; The absurdity of life is that the two princes see the "world" outside. In a sense, no matter how miserable Yingzong is, he is much better than these two imperial uncles, and even the people on death row are happier than them, at least everyone knows what the world is like in them.
After the death of Empress Qian, Yingzong did not establish a queen, and when he was dying, he made an edict to abolish the burial system of the living. Only this one thing, Yingzong, who has not achieved much in governing the country, is called benevolent in the world.
Ancient Chinese feudal dynasties since the Shang and Zhou dynasties established a living burial system, although each dynasty has a different system, but never stopped, Ming Taizu, Ming Chengzu martyred tens of thousands of palace maids and eunuchs, miserable. The system of living burial was the exclusive preserve of the emperor, and no one else enjoyed this right, so only the emperor could prevent it. Before Yingzong, there had been more than 400 emperors in Chinese history, but it was he who completely abolished the system of living burial.
Confucius said that the initiator has no aftermath! It is to denounce the evils of this system of burial of the living. The burial of terracotta warriors and horses and various human figurines seems to be spectacular, but it has laid the root of the martyrdom system for the living. This is the true meaning of Confucius's words, and Confucius's call sign can be understood in this way: The first person to be buried with figurines should be the last! This is the most vicious curse in the Spring and Autumn Era. It would be a mistake to think that Confucius was a craftsman who cursed the figurines, and Confucius blamed the system of martyrdom for the living.
Moreover, because of this, he has a special affection for Ming Yingzong, this is a benevolent monarch, and only Song Renzong can compare with the monarchs of various Chinese dynasties. Ming Yingzong was very kind-hearted, but he was dizzy by the eunuch Wang Zhen, which led to a great defeat in the battle of Tumubao, and 600,000 elite soldiers were wiped out by Wara in one fell swoop, and the vitality of the Ming Dynasty was greatly injured, and it was not until a long time to recover, but there was never the heyday of Xuanzong.
"Why are you still crying? Who thinks? At some point, Xiao Nier walked in, found that her face was full of tears, and was shocked, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears.
"Oh, I didn't think about anyone, I was thinking about it." Besides, I felt cold on my face, and realized that I had really cried silently just now. He thought of the tragic experience of Emperor Jianwen's two sons, and thought of Emperor Yingzong, Empress Qian, etc., and the compassion in his heart surged, and he unconsciously shed tears of sadness.
"I said, the sweetheart you should think about has come to accompany you during the day, and after such a while, you won't want to cry. You don't think about Sister Zuo, do you? Xiao Nier suddenly thought.
Don't say that besides, every time she sees Qiu Xiang, she thinks of Zuo Ling; Once she thought of Zuo Ling's unbelievable peerless appearance, even she was a little excited.
"Miss her? No. "Besides, it's not that there is nothing, but I don't dare to think about Zuo Ling, if Zuo Ling arrives in Suzhou, he will definitely cause big trouble. Besides, there is a faint feeling that he may not be able to avoid this big trouble, but the time has not yet come.
Xiao Nier seemed to remember something, and asked, "Brother, let me ask you, what did you do to Sister Pomegranate two days ago, she was so scared that she didn't dare to talk to you alone for the past few days, did you poison her?" ”
"Why, didn't she say that day that day that I would kneel and give her a gift, and I did so, but she thought crookedly. I didn't do anything. "Besides, I patted my chest and promised.
This is the Ming Dynasty, don't say that the beginning of chaos and the end of abandonment, that is, the beginning of chaos and the end of marrying is also a lack of morality, you must buy a ticket before getting on the bus, and then make up the ticket after getting on the bus, all of them will be entered into the category of lack of virtue with smoke.
Of course, this is also in some middle- and upper-class families with good upbringing, in fact, during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a ** atmosphere from top to bottom, and the relationship between the sexes was chaotic. It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that sexual liberation was at the time, but sexual openness is an absolute fact.
There were two periods of extreme liberalization in China, one was in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, and the other was in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty and beyond. The so-called dirty Tang stinky man, one refers to the early years of the Tang Dynasty, and the other refers to the Western Han Dynasty. The Western Han Dynasty belonged to the era when the concept of chastity in China had not yet been established, and it could not be compared with later generations. In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, there were many relics of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the heroine was in power, feminism prevailed, and the ** nature of the middle and late Ming Dynasty was not exactly the same as these, with modernity.
Xiao Nier clapped her hands and smiled: "I said, you don't dare to do anything to Sister Pomegranate, you are capable in front of me, you can rub me as much as you want, you don't have the courage to others." ”
Besides, Zhengse said: "Hey, you have to speak with your conscience, between the two of us, but you rub me, never me rub you." ”
Xiao Nier pouted and said, "That's why you said that you have no conscience and are angry." ”
Besides, I was so angry that I almost vomited blood, this is really divine logic, it doesn't make sense to me, it all belongs to the guy who has no conscience, and there is no solution. He no longer defends himself, reasoning with women is pure masochistic behavior, because he can't speak clearly in his life, and he will never come out.
Xiao Nier had a flash of inspiration, and said with affection: "Brother, do you want me to accompany you tonight, let you find it again, and rub me." ”
Besides, he hurriedly said: "No need, I haven't written for a few days, my fingers are stiff, and I have to find the feeling of writing tonight." ”
Xiao Nier complained: "You don't want to see me like that? Then what do you want me to do, just drive me home. ”
