Chapter 769: The Emperor with a Story

Of course, Mitsui Gui and his brothers understand the truth of this IP popularity, but is this carpenter emperor really so worth studying?

Regarding his historical positioning, haven't they all been recorded in China's history books for a long time?

Could it be that there is really something hidden in this?

Thinking of this, the two brothers shifted their attention to Noda Yoshihiko, after all, this guy is the most authentic sinologist among them, an expert who really understands Chinese history and Chinese antiques, so he is really the one who has the most say in this matter.

Yoshihiko Noda has actually been waiting for this real-time opportunity for a long time, but Watanabe didn't cause this talk before, so it's not good for him to say it directly, after all, in that case, it will mean to help Watanabe raise the price, which is likely to arouse the suspicion of the Mitsui brothers.

But turning it over, if Watanabe brought it up and the Mitsui brothers were consulting him, it would be much easier to say.

"Ahem......"

He cleared his throat before he spoke, "Actually, there has been a lot of controversy about the historical account of this carpenter emperor. This carpenter emperor is the grandson of Emperor Wanli, but because his father is not loved by Emperor Wanli, his life is not satisfactory with him. Emperor Wanli argued with the ministers below for 12 years about the matter of establishing a prince, and finally had to compromise and set up Zhu Youxiao's father Zhu Changluo as the crown prince, and then within a few years, Zhu Changluo became Mingguangzong, but unfortunately he was too blessed and had no emperor's life at all, and he only ascended the throne for a month, and lost his life because of the Red Pill case, and then it was Zhu Youxiao's turn to ascend the throne. Because he was not valued by Emperor Wanli in his early years, the life of Zhu Youxiao and his father Zhu Changluo has not been good, and he can't even afford to hire a teacher. He didn't have any royal education at all. When he ascended the throne, he was still illiterate, and after he succeeded to the throne, he was more ******** fond of carpentry, and did not do anything with tools such as saws and planers every day. On the contrary, the government was abandoned, so the evaluation of him in Chinese history has never been high, but this will only be the records of those official histories, and the most important thing is that these so-called official histories are recorded by the Qing Dynasty, so the credibility of these historical accounts has not been high, even if it is China's own archaeologists. There is also a lot of debate about the life of this carpenter emperor. ”

When Yoshihiko Noda said this, the eyes of the Mitsui brothers had lit up, which at least showed that the life of the carpenter emperor seemed to be really worth hype.

They are Japanese, but even the broken tea bowl used for tea fighting in the Southern Song Dynasty of China can be fried into a national treasure. So what about such a jade dragon chair?

Hey, it looks like now. This jade dragon chair seems to have full potential, surpassing the Yao Transformation Tianmu Bowl!

"Then Noda-kun, what do you think of this carpenter emperor?"

Takazu Mitsui couldn't help but ask Yoshihiko Noda if this is Japan's leading sinologist and expert in Chinese antiques, so his opinion on Chinese history. It's still worth referencing.

Yoshihiko Noda didn't push at this time, and just opened his mouth and said.

"Actually, I think those who say that the Carpenter Emperor is illiterate and ridiculous. The statement that they do not care about the government is completely slanderous and distorts history. ”

What he said was so loud that not only Mitsui Gui and his brothers but also Kyosuke Kobayashi were stunned when they heard it, but even Jin Muchen, who was standing in the office in the distance, was immediately stunned when he heard this.

I don't know where the statement that the carpenter emperor was illiterate came from, but there is indeed a lot of controversy about this.

Many people say that even if the Wanli Emperor doesn't like Zhu Changluo's father and son anymore, but they are also royal Miao descendants, how can they not even afford to hire a teacher, and they are reduced to the point that the emperor and grandson are illiterate?

It's simply not possible! Of course, there are many people who just open their eyes and say, don't you see that after that guy ascended the throne, he ********, he only knows how to make furniture everywhere, and he doesn't have time to pay attention to the government in the court?

Isn't such a ridiculous guy just illiterate?

"And in fact, these are slanders, slanders of Chiguoguo. In fact, the record of this Ming Xi Sect with a relatively high degree of credibility should refer to the Ming Dynasty's "Ming Xi Sect Records", which is recorded in that book, and the records of the Emperor of the Apocalypse in the Wenhua Hall are almost everywhere, and there are endless books about the personal discussion of military affairs. Therefore, judging from the really serious historical data, the Emperor of the Apocalypse still has a very high level of education, and his mind is also very smart, and many of his opinions on military affairs and the use of people are often more intelligent than his subordinates. ”

Noda Yoshihiko said such a judgment, but Mitsui Takashi and his brothers were completely calmed, because most of the descriptions of this carpenter emperor in the history books they read through were mediocre and absurd, and as for being capable and smart, this was the first time I had heard of it.

Then why did you Yoshihiko Noda dare to say that, and Noda did not disappoint them, and quickly explained to them.

"The statement that the Emperor of the Apocalypse ignored the government because he was a carpenter actually originated from the Qing dynasty Wang Shizhen's "Chibei Occasional Talk":

"There is an old palace supervisor who said: 'Ming Xizong is in the palace, and he is a good handmade small pavilion, and the axe is not in his hands, and the carving is exquisite. Wei Zhongxian every time he served the emperor to make a good meal, he used the chapters of the ministries and courtyards to play, and the emperor said: "You are good at life, don't deceive me." Therefore, the eunuch power is getting heavier, and the emperor is not enlightened. And the source of Wang Shizhen's "Chibei Occasional Talks" should be from the book "Records of the Middle" written by the Ming eunuch Liu Ruoyu during the Chongzhen period. And this Liu Ruoyu is just a eunuch, writing Ming Xizong like this, doesn't he want to die? And later, after verification, when this guy wrote this book, it happened to be because of the fall of Wei Zhongxian and he was imprisoned, and it happened to be the time when the Donglin Party was playing prestige and settling old accounts, so in order to cater to the Donglin Party people who were in charge of his case, it was inevitable that he would write some books that Donglin Party people loved to listen to and read, to cater to those Donglin Party, so he would desperately pour dirty water on Ming Xizong. Later, Wang Shizhen, a Qing Dynasty person, came to write the history of the Ming Dynasty, how could he carefully study the historical materials, of course, which historical material was ruthless enough for the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, they would use whichever material. That's why in history, he left such an ugly infamy for the Emperor of the Apocalypse. ”

Yoshihiko Noda's explanation made the Mitsui brothers and Kyosuke Kobayashi finally understand why he dared to say that. And at this time, these people's interest in the Emperor of the Apocalypse was completely aroused, and this time before the Mitsui brothers asked, Kobayashi Kyosuke took the lead in standing up and asking.

"So what kind of person is this carpenter emperor? Why was he hacked so badly? ”

"Actually, the Emperor of the Apocalypse should be a very smart emperor, even much smarter than his stubborn younger brother. If he could live a few more years, the Ming Dynasty might not really die in the hands of those Manchurians, but he died so early, which can only show that his old Zhu family is exhausted. ”

Yoshihiko Noda let out a sigh, and then began to continue to explain the past of the Emperor of the Apocalypse to the group.

According to the records of this book, Sun Chengzong was the teacher of the carpenter emperor, and whenever he gave a lesson to the Emperor of the Apocalypse: "Every time the emperor listens to Chengzong, he says" The heart is open, so he pays special attention to it" This has been clearly said, how can you say that the Emperor of the Apocalypse is illiterate? ”

When Yoshihiko Noda talked about this, he was a little emotional, and it seemed that he was well versed in that period of history, so he was very disdainful of the methods of some ancients.

And at this time, Mitsui and the others really felt that the story in this was really quite interesting, so they listened more attentively.

There is also such a record in the book "The Biography of Sun Chengzong": "The emperor is good at observing the border situation, and when the Dongchang is sent to close the door, he reports the incident, and the name is 'more important'"! What does this mean? It is said that the Emperor of the Apocalypse, whether he is very serious about studying, and at the same time attaches great importance to the wild boar skin that made a lot of trouble at that time, and the border feelings. Generally speaking, the emperor can listen to the officials' reports on the border situation. However, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was obviously not limited to the routine listening to the newspapers, but had greater initiative and enthusiasm. Even the East Factory personnel will be specially dispatched to listen to the border intelligence, and this kind of active intelligence awareness may not be possessed by most Ming Dynasty civil officials, as can be seen from the numbness and incompetence of Yuan Chonghuan, Wang Qia and others in intelligence work later. At that time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was only sixteen years old, and now he is almost a high school student. So you say that such an emperor will be a mediocre and incompetent person? Who can believe such a lie? ”

When Yoshihiko Noda said this, Takazu Mitsui couldn't help but pat his thigh, specially, the guys who write history in China are really shameless enough, no wonder many seniors say that China's history books can't be trusted.

Fortunately, I was not very interested in the history of the Ming Dynasty at that time, so I took a quick glance, if I really saw more, it was not good, and I was deceived by the shameless knife and pen officials.

"And about the weather, the emperor can only do carpentry work, and is not interested in court politics, and even does not go to court for a few days, it is even more ridiculous. There is such a record in the "Records of Xizong in the History of the Ming Dynasty" that in December of the first year of the Apocalypse, Ye Xianggao, the first assistant of the cabinet, once said to the Emperor of the Apocalypse......"
