Gradually, I began to get on track, and I returned to my normal precognitive dreams, as if foreshadowing the end of the dream, and the passage of time returned to the rhythm that felt familiar to me, and I became a complete spectator.

But it's hard to say that the story is developing satisfactorily, although it was only a very short time, but after all, as a living creature, I accompanied the Silk Road Princess, who later became Queen Mingjing. Perhaps because of this, my heart is full of sympathy for her.

At first, when I had only heard mythological stories, I only thought that Queen Myeongjeong was an impersonal, cold-blooded, iron-fisted tyrant.

But as the old saying goes, everything has a cause, and historical events should not be judged by countermeasures. I think so, too. In the myths and stories circulated among the people, there are mainly two aspects of Queen Mingjing.

One is Queen Myeongyeong's unique way of managing the country, and the other is about Queen Myeongyeong's cruelty. These two interpretations of Queen Myeongjeong are like a set combination. Without the former, there would be no latter.

What I remember the most is that in the myth, Queen Ming Jing adopted a noble policy, constantly persecuting those small countries that did not dare to resist at all, trying to completely imprint the slave brand in their minds.

Queen Mingjing doesn't seem to want countries other than Mingjing to treat herself as a country, but as an appendage of Mingjing Kingdom. Once this perception is formed in the mind, and then you can see what Queen Myeongjing does, you will feel that she is there to achieve this purpose.

As Zhang Yanghao's book "Mountain Slope Sheep Tong Caring for the Ancients" wrote:

The peaks and mountains are like gathering, the waves are like anger, and the mountains and rivers are on the surface of Tongguan Road. Looking at the western capital, he hesitated. Sad, the Qin and Han dynasties, the palace and thousands of rooms have been made of soil. Xing, the people suffer; Death, the people suffer!

I'm not a literate person, at most I've been influenced by my grandfather, and I like to grab something and look at it in my hand since I was a child. But this time, I deeply realized the meaning of this text that only confused me.

Even if I already have the experience of sharing weal and butter with Queen Mingjing, I have to admit that everything Queen Mingjing has done is only for her Mingjing country, not for the people on either side.

After Queen Mingjing took office, she ruthlessly adopted a crazy and elegant policy, taking advantage of the strong combat power of her own country to go down to Nanshan at every turn, kill out of the border, and invade those weak neighboring countries.

The countermeasures of each small country are different, and some countries simply surrender, not wanting to use more losses. But Queen Myeongjeong will not let them go, and she will take even more excessive pressure until the country is completely lifeless.

And the fate of those countries who choose to resist is not much better, their fate is even more miserable, Queen Mingjing ordered, countless elite cavalry with butcher knives slaughtered the city full of blood, and the terrible iron cavalry swept through the battle in one fell swoop, and the entire city was left with no grass.

Is it for the people of Mingjing that Queen Mingjing did this? No, in response to Zhang Yanghao's words, the people of those countries that were invaded and exploited by the Ming Jing Kingdom were very miserable, but the citizens of the Ming Jing State were no better.

It was the soldiers who fought for their lives, and they were the ones who celebrated after returning from the victory. Some of the innocent people who were taken away because of the forced conscription died on the battlefield, and some returned, but everything that had been once was no longer human.

The perennial battle is also a huge internal friction for the Ming Jing Kingdom, after all, it is not easy to have more enemies, especially when dealing with those guys who are united, things are even more troublesome.

From a strategic point of view, Queen Mingjing is a peerless strategist that is rare in a century; From a historical point of view, if there was no Queen Mingjing, there would be no day of great unification in the true sense of the Ming Dynasty.

However, from a humanitarian point of view, Queen Mingjing is by no means a Ming monarch. Especially after knowing her past, I feel that I also seem to understand Queen Myeongjing's mood better.

I regret and feel a little sad that she ended up being so cold-blooded and cruel, but after she became queen, she did experience things that most people could not have imagined.

Not long after Queen Mingjing took office, she did not officially usher in a period of transformation. At this time, although Queen Mingjing was a little young, she was knowledgeable, well prepared, and kind-hearted.

Looking at the 5,000-year history of China, just talking about Queen Mingjing at this stage, I think she is a rare Mingjun - anyway, I think if Li Tianzi is worthy of the title of Mingjun in history, then Queen Mingjing is also worthy of it.

At that time, the pressure on Queen Myeongjing was not small, and as the first queen of the country, it was easy to imagine how difficult it would be to carry out the work. And the reason why Queen Mingjing can persist in such a difficult environment is because the dragon has always accompanied her.

The relationship between Queen Mingjing and Yulong is deeper than I thought, and this tragedy, which will never get what you want in your life, has also catalyzed the deep feelings between the two even more.

However, the fortunate thing in the misfortune is that before the death of King Myeongjeong, he handed over the matter of taking care of Queen Myeongjeong for the rest of his life to Yulong. Not as his husband, of course, nor as her friend, but as a subordinate of Queen Myeongjeong, as her lifelong bodyguard.

However, just like the problem that no dynasty has been able to escape since ancient times, it also fell on the head of Queen Mingjing. And the problem is marriage.

The reason why it is necessary to explain the greatness of Queen Jing and the reason why it is widely spread among the people is not the legendary Mingjing Kingdom, but the last generation of queens of this country, that is, Queen Mingjing has achieved the most unified situation.

However, this is just an ending, at that time, Queen Mingjing had not yet achieved her feat, and the national strength of Mingjing was not false, but there were also several countries that were comparable to Mingjing's national strength.

In ancient times, marriage was the best and most trustworthy way to cooperate. Queen Myeongjeong has already taken this step, she has seen it better than anyone else, and when she became queen, I think she may have forgotten about her own personal happiness.

So after consulting with the courtiers, Queen Myeongjeong chose the prince of one of the countries and prepared to marry him. The country chosen by Queen Mingjing is relatively stable in terms of domestic power, and the prince's ascension to the throne is almost a certainty.

The country of Mingjing needs time for stable development, and Queen Mingjing also saw this, so she made up her mind to marry this person. Under the pressure brought by the surrounding countries, both the Ming and the marrying countries hoped that the marriage could be brought about as soon as possible.

So only a month after the decision was made, the wedding of the queen of one country and the future king of another was already prepared. Although Queen Mingjing is the king of a country, she is a woman after all, and she can't let her future husband come to her.

At that time, it seemed to be such a rule, after the wedding date was set, that is, the woman would go to the man, and then the wedding would be held. Of course, Queen Myeongjeong's situation is special, and she was supposed to live with her husband after that.

But before the two countries are unified and merged, Queen Myeongjing and her future husband will still be separated. The distance between the two countries is not short, the road is long, and Queen Mingjing is naturally unlikely to go on the road alone, and Yulong, as her escort, also set off with the army.

However, when they set off, Queen Myeongjing and Yulong may not have thought about what happened to them. Half a month after leaving for the marriage country, two-thirds of the army responsible for escorting Queen Myeongjeong were unfortunately killed.

The people who went to escort were all elites from a hundred, and tens of thousands of people formed a well-organized and uncumbersome force to escort Queen Mingjing to her destination, but the result was such a serious mistake.

But no one is to blame, Queen Myeongjeong set out in the cold of February winter, and accidentally caused an avalanche as they passed through a canyon between snow-capped mountains. In the face of such terrible natural disasters, people have to wait for death.

In fact, not to mention those things at the time, even Queen Myeongjing herself almost died. Fortunately, the dragon hand is quick-eyed, and at the last moment, he still closely protected Queen Mingjing's side. When the two of them woke up again, they were already in an ice cellar.

In the cold ice cellar, there was not even a prop that could be used for life, and the clothes on the body were already soaked, and the cold was biting, almost freezing people to death.

At this time, Queen Mingjing and Yulong were not facing the question of the innocence of men and women, but the question of life and death was nakedly placed in front of them. These two people, who are already deeply in love with each other, also let go of all their burdens at this moment.

They hugged each other tightly and miraculously survived in this cold ice cellar. At that time, let alone others, I guess neither Queen Ming nor Yulong thought that they would survive in this freezing ice cellar.

But the two of them were really lucky, this ice cave buried under the deep snow layer under the avalanche, although it was originally open, but after the avalanche, all the passages were completely blocked.

As a result, although it was a land of ice and snow, it unexpectedly formed a completely sealed space. As a result, the problems inside the ice cave were also preserved, and even the temperature reached more than ten degrees above zero. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the two of them to survive.

This may sound like a violation of natural sense, but it is actually a very common thing in the ice and snow. A completely enclosed space can often bring unimaginable warmth.

I guess the Eskimos should have the most experience, the ice castle they built in their homeland actually uses this principle, although the whole is made of huge square blocks of ice, but if the fire rises here, the room temperature can even reach more than 20 degrees above zero.

Moreover, the thick layer of ice that serves as a wall will not melt. At first glance it may seem difficult to understand, but the principle is simple. The temperature inside is indeed gradually rising, even reaching a temperature above zero that does not allow the ice to remain in a solid form.

But on the other hand, outside the ice wall, it is extremely low temperatures of tens of degrees below zero. Heat and cold work at the same time in this huge block of ice. And the indoor temperature can never beat the outdoor low temperature.

In addition, the size of the ice cube itself is large enough, and before the indoor temperature melts the ice, the cold temperature on the outside will reinforce the ice cube. Over the years, the corners may become more or less rounded.
