Zhu Houzhao's study of history mainly comes from the Twenty-first History. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

What is said in the twenty-first history, what Zhu Houzhao hears, most of the time it is in the left ear and the right ear out, only when Shen Xi connects the historical events together, he can roughly remember some key people and events.

As for the affairs of the Tang Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao remembered most about the pacification of the world in the early Tang Dynasty, the war with the Turks and the Goryeo, or the change of Xuanwumen, the empress of the dynasty, etc., let him study how the Tang Dynasty fell, it is really difficult for some strongmen.

At present, Shen Xi just raised a common problem of the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, that is, the problem of eunuchs, so Zhu Houzhao did not know why.

"Sir, what is the unauthorized abolition of the eunuchs? I understand the eunuchs, they are eunuchs, what are the eunuchs abolished? Zhu Houzhao asked curiously.

Waiting for Zhu Hou to ask, Shen Mingyou and a group of attendants and eunuchs next to him did not look very good, the abolition of the eunuch party has always been a very sensitive topic for them, which involves the trust of the royal family, and they hope that the prince will not know that there is such a thing in history at all.

If it was Liu Jin, he would definitely have to open his mouth to stop Shen Xi from continuing, but Shen Ming had the qualifications or not, so he could only bury his head lower.

Shen Xi said: "The eunuch party abolished without authorization, of course, it is the emperor. ”

"Huh? First...... Sir, you ...... You're not kidding, eunuch...... It's the eunuchs who don't have eggs, they ...... What power do they have to depose the emperor on their own? Doesn't it mean that if the emperor dies, the crown prince will succeed him? ”

After Zhu Houzhao heard this, he felt a little strange in his heart...... How come those eunuchs who look groveling can actually decide whether I should be the emperor or not?

Shen Xi Zhengse said: "The eunuch party has been in power since ancient times, Qin Zhaogao stole the beam and changed the pillar, pointing to the deer as a horse, the disaster of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the eunuch of the Northern Wei Dynasty killed the emperor and killed the emperor, and the eunuchs of the Middle Tang Dynasty were in power, so that when the Northern Song Dynasty was in power, there was a eunuch Tong Guan who was in charge of the military for 20 years, and finally caused the change of Jingkang. When the eunuch is in power, he can depose the king without permission......"

Zhu Houzhao's face turned pale, and the gaze of Shen Mingyou and the others was not so kind, and he said nervously: "So powerful? They...... Who gave them the power? ”

Shen Xi said: "It depends on the situation, but most of the power still comes from the emperor." Taking the disaster of the party as an example, after the Eastern Han Dynasty, many young lords ascended the throne, the lord and the country were suspicious, the queen mother was in the dynasty, and the relatives were in power. When the young lord came of age, he used eunuchs to fight his relatives, so that the eunuchs had real power. When the emperor is dying, there will be a situation of suspicion of the lord and the country, and the cycle will start again and again. ”

"The Lord Shaoguo is suspicious?"

Zhu Houzhao blinked, "What does this mean?" ”

Shen Xi roughly explained, and said: "The emperor is young, there are many people who covet the throne, there is a gap between the monarch and the minister, and the minister cannot be loyal to the monarch, and the foreign people are eyeing each other. It is said that the lord is less suspicious. ”

"Does that mean I'm not qualified to be emperor?" Zhu Houzhao muttered.

Shen Xi continued to explain: "If there is no eunuch, there is no one who can be trusted in the palace for a long time, if you want to regain power, you must rely on the eunuchs, and when the young lord is in power, you will repay the eunuchs and reuse them." This is the scourge of the struggle for imperial power. ”

"Oh."

After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "That's all the old things of the previous dynasty, my emperor of the Ming Dynasty is very wise and martial, and this kind of thing will never happen...... Sir, am I right? ”

For this kind of words, Shen Xi can only be described as "hehe".

Other emperors are qualified to say this, but you Zhu Houzhao is the only one...... The least qualified!

Because it is in history that it is under your fulfillment that created the disaster of Liu Jin and other Eight Tigers, even without you, your ancestors did not do anything good, Wang Zhen and Wang Zhi were all representatives of the eunuchs, and Emperor Yingzong also caused the change of Tumubao because of this, and almost even the Ming Dynasty was buried.

Shen Xi said calmly: "Now, it's time to tell the prince about what happened decades ago......

The next thing Shen Xi wants to talk about is the change of Tumubao.

"The change of Tumubao" is a summary of this incident in later generations, in the Ming Dynasty, this kind of thing basically belongs to the secret that cannot be said, after all, it involves the issue of national shame.

But Shen Xi, as the lecturer who lectured on the history of the Twenty-first Period, now that Emperor Hongzhi allowed him to talk about the history of some dynasties, he could mention some events that could not be said by law.

He still can't say anything about Emperor Jianwen, but the change in Tumubao is an established fact, and later emperors did not say that they would hide this matter to the end, so even if others think that Shen Xi said that this matter is inappropriate, he has no right to stop Shen Xi from telling the incident. Even Jin Gui and other upright East Palace attendants who were present, they felt that it was necessary for Shen Xi to tell him about this matter, and only by letting the prince be prepared for danger in times of peace could he be the duty of the East Palace officials.

After Shen Xi finished speaking, Zhu Houzhao stood up in shock and said, "You mean, a few decades ago, my Ming Dynasty was almost ...... by that tribe called Wara Extinguished? Even the emperor was captured? ”

This question was too direct for Shen Xi to answer, but it was true, what he said before was quite tactful.

"Hmm." Shen Xi nodded.

"You lie, how come I don't know? Also, you said that the emperor was captured, so wouldn't there be no emperor in this great tomorrow? Zhu Houzhao said angrily.

This allusion between Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty and Emperor Ming Dynasty is not as secret as the incident of Emperor Jianwen, although the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was abolished after the change of seizing the door, but after the death of Yingzong, his son set aside the chaos and gave his uncle the title of Emperor Gongren Kangdingjing, which was Emperor Mingjing, and recognized the throne of Emperor Ming Dynasty.

But it was not until after the Southern Ming Dynasty that Emperor Ming Jing was given the temple name "Daizong".

That is to say, by the Hongzhi period, the imperial court also basically recognized the identity of Emperor Zong of the Ming Dynasty, which was very different from the situation of Emperor Jianwen, and this matter can be talked about.

"The Son of Heaven is in trouble, it should have been passed on to the prince, but the prince is still in infancy, in order to avoid the suspicion of the lord and the country, the criminal minister Yu Qian and others spoke to the Empress Dowager Sun, and welcomed the king to succeed to the throne......"

When Shen Xi was talking about these things, Zhu Houzhao listened with wide eyes, and Zhongyun Guan kept recording what Shen Xi said, and the attendants and eunuchs next to him were also dumbfounded, because many of what Shen Xi said were unknown and belonged to the secret of this dynasty.

After Shen Xi finished speaking, he sighed lightly: "If it weren't for the Son of Heaven being credulous in believing in eunuchs, why would he cause such a disaster?" ”

After Zhu Houzhao listened, the six gods sat down without a master, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

If the stories that Shen Xi said before were too far away, the things he said this time were not far from him, Ming Yingzong was his great-grandfather, that is, his father's grandfather, and his grandfather, Emperor Chenghua, was even imprisoned for many years because of this.

"Mr. Shen, I'm a little uncomfortable...... Let's go change first. ”

Zhu Houzhao was completely frightened, he used this trick to urinate in the past, but this time he just wanted to take the opportunity to go out and calm down.

Shen Xi raised his hand, which meant "you please take care of yourself".

Zhu Houzhao left in despair, and as soon as the person left, the back of the palace became a pot of porridge.

"Shen Yude, is it appropriate for you to say this to the prince?" Jin Gui walked to Shen Xi's side with a worried face.

Shen Xi nodded: "Maybe something is wrong, but in order to prevent the prince from getting worse, it is better to say a lot of things as soon as possible." After all, the prince occasionally covets pleasure, and he is afraid that he will be taken advantage of by traitors. ”

These words won Jin Gui's approval. In the past, Zhu Houzhao trusted Liu Jin and others, but he saw that the prince should have been the closest to the officials of the East Palace, but now it seems that the prince trusts those eunuchs the most, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no eunuchs who will bring disaster to the country and the people in the future.

Zhu Houzhao came back not long after he went, and Shen Xi continued to lecture, but the next content Xiong Zi listened a little absent-mindedly.

Originally, Shen Xi also wanted Zhu Houzhao to review what he had learned before, and check and accept the teaching results, but now it seems that it is inconvenient to destroy the thinking of the bear child.

Zhu Houzhao rarely thinks deeply about historical events, and how much this incident shocks his psychology can make his personality change.

Shen Xi thought to himself: "I'm doing this for your own good, don't blame me." ”

After finishing the day's classes very early in the afternoon, Zhu Houzhao went directly to the inner hall, but Shen Mingyou took the initiative to come over to help Shen Xi sort out the case.

"Lord Shen mentioned those words, did he want to keep the prince away from his close attendants?"

When Shen Ming had something to say, there was a little complaint on his face, as if to say, I am a eunuch now, do you also guard against me like a eunuch?

Shen Xi said: "Don't misunderstand Grandpa Zhang, I don't mean that." ”

"Lord Shen is really kind-hearted, using the past as a metaphor for the present, but he wants to scare the prince out of illness?"

Shen Mingyou looked indignant.

If it was someone else, he didn't dare to come over to question, but the person in front of him, although he was in a high position, was the little nephew he used to look down on, and he felt that he was put on a role by Shen Xi.

Shen Xi smiled and said, "I can't say anything about the past and the present, I just want the prince to learn from history and take it as a warning!" ”

Sometimes explanations are useless, Shen Xi does have the intention of keeping Zhu Houzhao away from the eunuchs around him.

Now Shen Xi can't figure out whether the person Zhu Houzhao trusts in the future is Liu Jin, Zhang Yuan in front of him, or Gao Feng.

In history, as long as people who can cater to Zhu Houzhao, after Zhu Houzhao ascends the throne, they will basically be reused.

Shen Ming left in a huff, but Shen Xi felt that his second uncle was a little too sensitive.

You haven't done anything yet, just associate things with yourself, or you came to the East Palace to be a close eunuch, just prepare to be a eunuch who will bring disaster to the country and the people in the future?

But Shen Xi is in some trouble now, because he knows that Shen Mingyou is a trusted person of the queen, and the queen feels that "Zhang Yuan" is surnamed Zhang, and she is her own family, and others may hide something from her, but this Zhang Yuan is dedicated to the master.

Empress Zhang first asked Zhang Yuan to follow Emperor Hongzhi, and now let Zhang Yuan take care of the crown prince, if Zhang Yuan felt that Shen Xi's words were inappropriate, he would turn his head and inform Empress Zhang of the matter, Empress Zhang didn't care whether this was Shen Xi's teaching content or not, as long as she felt that Shen Xi made words to intimidate her son, she would retaliate.

Empress Zhang is more or less a representative of the femme fatale, she can fix her favor, not how empathetic, gentle and considerate she is, the main thing is that she has the means to win the emperor's heart.

There are so many emperors in Chinese history, who are no different from the empress's love and common people's husbands and wives, and only Zhu Youzhi is the only one who doesn't even have concubines, and Empress Zhang's ability can be seen.
