Chapter 1248: Whipping In
"Jingjiang? Isn't it the place where the mountains and rivers are the best in the world now? "Diao Qinsan really has some insight. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Yes!" Tang Yidao, "It seems that the legend that many emperors in the Yuan Dynasty were buried in the Qiyuan Valley may be true, and the valley where the tomb is located may be the Qiyuan Valley back then!" ā
Wen Jia looked at Tang Yi, "Tell me first, how can you infer that it is the last iron pot emperor of the Yuan Dynasty?" ā
Diao Qinsan also asked, and looked at Tang Yi with Wen Jia. Diao Qinyi simply sat down far away, pinching his chin and preparing to listen.
The name "Tuo Timur" is too awkward to read, so Tang Yi directly called it "iron pot".
The iron pot itself is a tragic figure, from childhood.
Originally, his father was Yuan Mingzong, and he was the eldest son of Yuan Mingzong, that is, he was very promising to inherit the throne.
However, his father, Yuan Mingzong, was poisoned with medicinal wine. It was his uncle Yuan Wenzong who poisoned his father.
When Yuan Wenzong became emperor, the iron pot should have been about eleven years old. This age is a bit dangerous, and in order to ensure the stability of the throne, Yuan Wenzong directly exiled him to an island in Goryeo.
After a few years on such an island, this uncle still doesn't seem to be at ease with his nephew, because after all, Korea is relatively a little independent, and if the iron pot and the king of Korea unite and come over under the banner of the first emperor's own son, it will not be good! Moreover, there were similar rumors at this time.
So, Yuan Wenzong played a little harder, saying that the iron pot was not Yuan Mingzong's biological flesh and blood, and exiled him to Jingjiang in the southwest. The reason why he has never killed the killer is not because this is his nephew. He can even poison his own brother, let alone a nephew? Means.
A teenage child, from the northeast to the southwest, on the move. When he arrived in Shizue, the official in charge of monitoring him sent him to the Daenji Temple in Shizue.
It was here that the iron pot met Elder Akie.
The experience before the iron pot doomed him to not have a good education. And his real enlightenment began at the Dayuan Temple.
Elder Qiujiang did not regard him as a prisoner under house arrest, but genuinely cared, learned Chinese characters, read the Analects, knew etiquette, and was educated.
At the beginning, the iron pot was still a child's heart, he liked to play, and he loved to climb trees and catch birds.
At this time, Elder Qiujiang told him: You are a prince, no more than ordinary people, you must know how to respect yourself. At the same time, he also reminded him that when officials come to inspect, they must not speak in vain.
After the death of Yuan Wenzong, the younger brother of the iron pot ascended the throne as Yuan Ningzong. When Yuan Ningzong also died, the iron pot was ordered by the Queen Mother to welcome back to Dadu, which was for Yuan Huizong.
Iron pot lived in Daenji Temple for more than a year, and he benefited immensely from this year, and it is said that when he left, he still used a small leather box to contain the books given to him by Elder Akie. When he ascended the throne and became the emperor, he was grateful to Elder Qiujiang, and everyone rewarded him, and the Dayuan Temple was also changed to the Hall of Longevity.
At this point, the juvenile period of iron pot suffering came to an end. However, this emperor is actually very sad.
Tieguo was the eleventh emperor of the Yuan Dynasty and the fifteenth Great Khan of the Mongol Empire. The Yuan Dynasty was established by Kublai Khan, and the previous Great Khans were actually not emperors, like Temujin, the Yuan Taizu, who was chased later.
There were a total of eleven emperors in the Yuan Dynasty, and the dynasties were less than a hundred years. After the iron pot became the emperor, the first thing he faced was an resistance, that is, the power minister Boyan, to make an analogy of the Qing Dynasty, only for the situation, not to compare the characteristics of people, the iron pot is the young Kangxi at this time, and Boyan is equivalent to worship.
After overthrowing Boyan, the iron pot was able to pro-government. At this time, he was very ambitious, he appointed Totoku and others, and adopted a series of reform measures.
If you don't change it, you can't do it, because the Yuan Dynasty is almost over at this time, although Zhu Yuanzhang is only a teenager at this time and is still herding cattle.
This set of reform measures of the iron pot has a name in history, called the "Zhizheng New Deal".
That's right, it's the positive one of the most positive type Yuan Qinghua. The real heyday of Yuan Qinghua was originally the late Yuan Dynasty.
However, it can't be changed. Regardless of the dynasty, the reforms of the last emperor were basically ineffective. This is not a question of whether the direction and methods of reform are correct, but that various problems have accumulated at this stage, and it is already difficult to return, and it is useless to change them.
In the eleventh year of Zheng, a peasant uprising broke out at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. The reforms did not have much effect, and the internal strife in the imperial court continued, and the peasant uprisings became more and more intense. The last Yuan Emperor of the Iron Pot completely gave up his efforts and began to be passive and indulge in pleasure.
In the twenty-seventh year of Zheng, Zhu Yuanzhang, the cowherd baby when the iron pot first ascended the throne, had almost occupied half of southern China. In October of that year, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Xu Da to be the general of the conquest, led an army of 250,000 to the north, and at the same time issued the famous "Edict to the Central Plains".
There are two phrases here that are quite familiar: expel Hulu and restore China.
More than 500 years later, in 1905, in order to overthrow the Manchu feudal dynasty, Sun Yat-sen put forward a 16-character program, the first two sentences and this one are only two words: drive out the Tartars and restore China.
In the twenty-eighth year of Yuan Zhizheng, that is, the first year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang was proclaimed emperor in Nanjing, and the country name was Daming. In August of the same year, the Ming army, which had already occupied Tongzhou, began to attack Dadu. The iron pot ran away with his wife and children, and the last place to go was the Mongolian steppe.
Two years later, the iron pot died in Yingchang.
"Only the emperor of the iron pot will be grateful to Elder Qiujiang, and only he is the most ashamed of his ancestors, because he lost the country laid down by his ancestors." Tang Yi then analyzed, "Genghis Khan's heirloom jade seal is very likely to have been lost by him, so before he died, he imitated such a jade seal, and the inscription was the original, but on the side of the jade seal, he said what was in his heart." ā
"I see!" Diao Qinsan nodded frequently, "Moreover, this jade seal is made of river abrasive, and the place where he died is near the birthplace of Hongshan culture, and many jade pieces of Hongshan culture are river grinding jade!" This can also be correct, because he is a fugitive person, and it is not easy to find good jade materials, so he can only use local materials! ā
"Therefore, the value of this jade seal is still very high." Tang Yi nodded, "As for why he wore a general's costume to the funeral, it is clear, he dreamed of fighting the country again!" ā
Diao Qinsan got up and arched his hand, "Mr. Tang, Master Wen, these things, no matter what, can't be paid, so they should be given to you." Not to mention anything else, today I have seen Master Wen's profound spells, and I have listened to Mr. Tang's high opinion, what is it for a mere 100,000 US dollars? ā
Wen Jia hesitated slightly, Mobei Shuangdiao was intentionally befriended, and if he refused at this time, he would look down on people. For this pair of yin and yang brothers, he was actually moved by compassion.
Tang Yi saw it in his eyes and said with a smile, "Brother Diao, why don't you listen to me?" ā
