Chapter 361: History

"Johnson. It's not early. I think you'd better go back early, it'll be very inconvenient if it's too late. Xie Manya looked at Scarlett, who was sitting next to Ouyang Xu.

"Isn't it early? No, no, no, I think it's a good time. In fact, when I was in the United States, it was only late after twelve o'clock. Scarlett smiled, showing no signs of leaving.

"But this is China." Xie Manya looked at Scarlett seriously.

"Well, this is China, yes. But I'm American. Moreover, I think that as Chinese, we should abide by Chinese customs even more. Mr. Xie, it's so late, don't you feel like you need to leave? Not to be outdone, Scarlett said.

Scarlett and Xie Manya, both of whom came to Ouyang Xu today, happened to meet each other. So, it became what it is now.

"Alright, you two, either shut up or leave together." Ouyang Xu listened to the conversation between the two women and had a little headache. How did I just come across a piece by chance?

Of course, it can't be said to be a coincidence. After all, today is the day when "My Love from the Star" premieres on TV. It is not uncommon for Xie Manya to come, after all, when Ouyang Xu filmed a TV series and released it on TV, Xie Manya often came back.

As for Scarlett. She plans to leave China and return to Hollywood. The movie has been filmed, and she has nothing to stay on. Before leaving, he naturally wanted to come to Ouyang Xu for a shot, which was called a separate cannon. It's just such a coincidence that it caught up with this day.

Xie Manya was a little speechless when she heard Ouyang Xu say this, and felt that Ouyang Xu was really, too, too much. If you want to drive two beauties out together, there is probably only Ouyang Xu who will do such a thing. However, although Xie Manya was a little speechless, she was quite satisfied, at least Ouyang Xu planned to drive the two of them out together, not just let her leave. Glancing at Scarlett, the woman didn't leave. She would never leave. So I sat down on the couch again.

Scarlett looked at Xie Manya's appearance that she didn't plan to leave, shrugged, and was a little helpless, after all, she was leaving, so she guessed that she and Ouyang Xu were coming to have a shot. But I don't want to be bothered by this woman. But Xie Manya doesn't leave, she can't help it, just sit here and wait. Anyway, Ouyang Xu's TV series "You from the Star" is still very good. Aliens with powerful superpowers live in seclusion on Earth, which is a very good theme.

In the TV series, the alien played by Ouyang Xu is a professor, a professor of social psychology. He is also a professor of social psychology and a professor of history. After all, the alien played by Ouyang Xu personally experienced the fall of the Ming Dynasty and the rise and fall of the Qing Dynasty that he personally established. In the end, from the fall of the Qing Dynasty, and then until now, he has personally experienced these things, so he knows a lot about history, at least the Ming and Qing dynasties and the Republic of China.

At this time, in the TV series, Ouyang Xu, as a professor of history, was teaching students at a university. It is about the history of the Ming Dynasty. (Add a little bit of personal work.) Recently, I read a book "The Most Powerful Man in the Heavens", and then for those literati, I really don't like anything. So here is a little modification to the protagonist's class)

“…… Therefore, the destruction of the Ming Dynasty was doomed. This is a trend in the development of a dynasty, and even all dynasties in ancient times need to go through. From establishing the dynasty and collecting all the land, to ......" Ouyang Xu stood on the podium, and didn't look at anything to prepare for classes or topics, so he just opened his mouth and came.

"Professor, the reason why the Ming Dynasty fell was actually because the emperor trusted the eunuchs in the palace too much and gave them too much power, so that the court was corrupted, and finally let the Ming Dynasty go to ruin." A student raises his hand and then expresses his or her opinion.

"So, do you blame the fall of the Ming Dynasty on those eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty?" Ouyang Xu looked at the student calmly.

"Of course, it is very clear in the history books that Liu Jin, Wei Zhongxian, etc., they seized power with the connivance of the emperor, made a mess of the court and even the people, wantonly collected money, the people were poor, and finally the peasants began to revolt...... "The student said eloquently.

"Well, I see. Then this student, please take a seat. I'm going to make my point of view as well. The fall of the Ming Dynasty, the dictatorship of the eunuchs was indeed one thing. Eunuchs amassed wealth in the people. It is indeed to make the peasants, who are already living in poverty, even poorer, and the people are struggling to make a living. But the black cauldron of the fall of the Ming Dynasty can't just let these eunuchs carry it. In fact, after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, those ministers in the dynasty and those literati families also played a large role. Even their danger is stronger than those eunuchs. ”

"Professor, are you wrong? Why do you say that the ministers of the DPRK and the Chinese government and the literati will be more dangerous than those eunuchs? Obviously, it is the eunuchs who are in power and persecute the loyal and good ......"

"This classmate, please be seated. Let me start with two senses. Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty hanged himself on the coal mountain when King Li Zicheng invaded the national capital, but the eunuchs beside him hanged themselves with him. And those ministers in the court surrendered to Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang. So, who is more loyal to Emperor Chongzhen, is it a eunuch? Or the courtiers? ”

"Emperor Chongzhen once borrowed money from the ministers of the court in order to be able to pay the soldiers who were fighting. However, those ministers in the court cried poor one after another, saying that their families were poor, and took out a few taels or even dozens of taels of silver and said that they were all worth of their worth, so that in the end, the money donated by all the ministers of the court and the central government, no, was not as much as the money donated by a prostitute in the Qinglou at that time. And after the king attacked the city, he raided the homes of the ministers and found millions of taels of silver, as well as countless treasures......"

"Even in fact, the reason why King Chuang invaded the capital so easily was that those courtiers felt that the Ming Dynasty was hopeless, so they secretly opened the city gate for King Chuang......"

"The eunuchs guarded the city, fought against the Manchus, and finally died in battle. The officials of the DPRK and China knelt on the ground and surrendered, and before they even waited for the Manchus to attack, they had already opened the city gates themselves......"

Ouyang Xu said eloquently, speaking very truthfully, as if he had seen these things with his own eyes. Of course, in the TV, his identity is an alien hidden on Earth, who has lived for hundreds of years, and he has indeed seen it with his own eyes.
