The two returned to the inner courtyard, it was still early for lunch, Gu Xiyan accompanied Mrs. Gu to gossip for a while before returning to her house, she found Duan Niang, asked about the relationship between Mrs. Gu and the Fang family, and wanted to inquire about Ye Zisu's news even stronger. However, she has more important things to do. Last night, she flipped through the books she borrowed from Yuerongzhai and found some interesting things.

Gu Xiyan was the first to turn over the book "Sound Rhyme Enlightenment" yesterday, the content was similar to what she had read before, because she hadn't memorized it before, so it was too late to make up for it now, so she put it down after flipping through it.

Then she turned to the "Four Books". The "Four Books" refer to the Analects, Mencius, the Mean, and the University. Among them, the Analects and Mencius refer to the collections of speeches of Confucius, Mencius and their students, respectively, while the Daxue and Zhongyong are two of the books in the Book of Rites, both of which are works of Confucius. In this time and space, the names of the four books remain the same, the content remains the same, and the ideological system remains the same, and its author has become Li Chaoyang, and Confucius and his students have become characters in the stories made up by Li Chaoyang......

This is also one of the reasons why Gu Xiyan got up early in the morning and had two dark circles under his eyes.

As soon as she returned to the house, she closed the door and eagerly flipped through the book of "Song Fu". What Li Bai's "Silent Night Poems", Meng Haoran's "Spring Dawn", Li Shangyin's "Untitled", and Li Qingzhao's "Slow Voice", etc., the famous artists of Tang and Song poetry are all in one go, and the author is also called Li Chaoyang!

With a smile, she began to flip through the book "A Brief History of the Sixteen Dynasties".

The origin of human beings is, of course, about the same, eating alive, then there was fire, farming and hunting, and there was a disparity between the rich and the poor...... The waves of history began to take on a different flavor five hundred years ago.

In the winter of 1544 in the summer calendar, Li Si, the eleventh emperor of the Wanji Dynasty of the Xia Kingdom, died of illness. Prime Minister Liu Yihe, Pingzhang Political Affairs Yang Ji, Prince Taifu Gu Zhijin, and Janissary Commander Li Chaoyang were appointed ministers of Gu Ming, and together with the young Empress Dowager Shunning Lu, they jointly supported the three-year-old crown prince Li Li to govern the empire with a total of 19 counties. As in all history, in the beginning, they were united in their efforts to resist pressure from all sides, but gradually they gained a foothold, and as time went on, they began to disagree with each other on the distribution of interests and political opinions. Prime Minister Liu Yi and Heping Zhang Political Affairs Yang Ji were the representatives of the scholar clan at that time, and the crown prince Gu Zhijin was the leader of the literary world at that time...... In less than two or three years, Liu Yihe, Yang Ji, and Gu Zhijin fell one after another.

However, where there is power, there will be strife, and new contradictions in the Wanji Dynasty have arisen...... The final temple battle began between Li Chaoyang and the Empress Dowager Shunning!

When things start, they will have results. In 1551 of the summer calendar, Li Lichan was located in Li Chaoyang, and the Empress Dowager Shunning moved to the sparsely populated Long'an County. Long'an County was renamed Fengtai, and Rongzhou, Guzhou, Baizhou, Yanzhou, Dangzhou, and Dangzhou, which originally belonged to Long'an County, were governed by Fengtai, and the tax, military and political autonomy were ......

In the spring of 1552 in the summer calendar, Li Chaoyang was proclaimed emperor in Yizhou, Jiannan County, the former imperial capital, with the name Taichu, and began the famous "Wuzi Change" in history. Withdraw from Zhongshu Province, set up a cabinet, withdraw the county guard, and set up a political department, a judicial department, and a soldier and horse division...... Mining, coal, copper, iron, salt, etc., will be franchised by auction......

In the autumn of 1552 in the summer calendar, the Hongwen Hall of the Taichu Dynasty published four books and five classics, poems and songs under the personal supervision of the emperor, in the winter, the court began to change the scholar family recommendation system to the imperial examination selection system, "Four Books" became a must-read for the industry, the original prince Gu Zhijin's "Four Books Annotation" was also born, four years later, Gu Zhijin's son Gu Yun wrote a book of "Shuowen Interpretation of Words", which was affirmed by Li Chaoyang, and with the support of Li Chaoyang, he began to implement simplified Chinese characters in Xia and opened official schools. At the same time, various private schools also came into being, the most famous of which was the Jiangnan Songgul Academy founded by Gu Zhijin......

In the same year, Li Chaoyang opened up the coasts of Jiangnan County and Hainan County, set up a maritime department directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court in Hainan County, established the largest dock and wharf in the Xia Kingdom on Ming Island in the Songjiang River, built large sea ships, and began the history of the Xia Kingdom's ocean-going trade......

Under his leadership, the manufacturing department has developed glass, mercury mirrors, porcelain, looms, four-wheeled carriages, etc., and a large number of glassware, fine porcelain, and gorgeous silk began to go abroad with huge sea ships......

After nine years of hard work, the history of the Xia Kingdom reached its peak, and the scene of "Four Yi Coming to Dynasty" appeared.

In 1561 of the summer calendar, Li Chaoyang selected Jiangzhong County to establish a new imperial capital, the name of the imperial palace is "Forbidden City", the four main avenues in the city are called "Qinglong", "Vermilion Bird", "Xuanwu", "White Tiger", and the entire imperial city is set up 81 squares...... At this time, Li Chaoyang was 45 years old, and there was only one woman by his side from beginning to end, that is, Xiao Lu, the sister of the Empress Dowager Shunning and the first queen of the Taichu Dynasty. And Xiao Lu has never been pregnant since she had a miscarriage many years ago......

In 1566 of the summer calendar, the imperial capital of the Taichu Dynasty moved to Jiangzhong County, and the emperor lived in the splendid Forbidden City, which has Qianqing Palace, Kunning Palace, and Cining Palace......

Just when the whole Taichu Dynasty was immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the relocation of the new imperial capital, Shen Xuechi, the 5-year-old youngest son of Shen Xiyan, who was named the first assistant of the cabinet of the king of Shushan by Li Chaoyang, the scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion and the left waiter of the household department, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, and Shen Xiyan, the Shaoqing of Shangbaosi, was taken to the harem by Li Chaoyang and raised by the queen Lu...... For a time, the Taichu Dynasty was surging.

Summer calendar 1568, summer. Li Chaoyang, accompanied by Shen Xiyan, returned to the Red City of the Jiannanyuan Imperial Palace...... They never came back. The scholars from all over the country who were hit by Li Chaoyang and couldn't raise their heads took the opportunity to raise troops one after another, and the Taichu Dynasty quickly collapsed, and the queens Lu and Shen Xue didn't know what to do......

The Xia Kingdom fell into an era of warlords and wars......

In the year 1814 of the Xia calendar, after 246 years of war, the Xia kingdom was divided into six. The descendants of the Li family of the previous dynasty still live in Fengtai and have their own faction; Shen Xiyan's descendants firmly hold Jiannan County, which is also their ancestral origin and birthplace; The Qi clan, who was born in the Shu tribe, occupies 3 counties close to Lianyun Mountain, Lianyun County, Guannei County, and Guandong County, which have the worst climatic conditions; The Zheng clan of Shannan County occupied the three counties of Longdong County, Beijiang County, and Shannan County, which produced gold mines; The Wu clan of Nanhe County occupies the four richest counties north of the Songjiang River: Henan County, Pinghe County, Pingchuan County, and Jiangzhong County; The Yang clan of Jiangnan County occupied 7 counties south of the Songjiang River: Longyou County, Songping County, Jiangnan County, Pingyuan County, Nanhe County, Lingnan County, and Nanhai County, becoming the largest warlord at that time.

In the summer of 1815, the yellow-haired and blue-eyed Gabanars invaded, and under the persuasion of Song Beigui, the Yang envoy, the six forces were twisted into a group to resist the foreign enemy.

In the spring of 1816, the Gabanars were defeated and retreated. The Yang, Qi, Zheng, Wu, Shen, and Li clans held a six-sided meeting in Mingdao, and the Yang clan recognized the jurisdiction of the other five families, and named the heads of the five families as the princes of the state, and the five families needed to respect the Yang family as the emperor, and handed over a certain amount of money and silk every year, and the personal guards should not exceed 3,000...... Li, Shen, and Qi took the lead in signing the agreement, and Zheng and Wu were forced to agree.

This is the famous "Mingdao Council" in modern history.

In the summer of 1816, Yang Meng, the head of the Yang family, was proclaimed emperor in the Forbidden City of Jiangzhong County, and the year name was Xizhao. The head of the Qi family was named the Duke of Yan, the head of the Zheng family was named the Duke of Liang, the head of the Wu family was named the Duke of Jin, the head of the Shen family was named the Duke of Shu, and the Li family was named the Duke of Feng, and the Xizhao Dynasty officially opened the curtain on the stage of history......

Later generations remember the prehistory, and a thick set of "A Brief History of the Sixteen Dynasties" ended here, but Gu Xiyan smiled skillfully.

Li Chaoyang, Li Chaoyang, how can there be so many coincidences in the world...... The Christianity that arose 500 years ago should also take the time to visit, and maybe there will be any interesting discoveries!

Mo Ju looked inside again through the bamboo curtain, and the second girl closed her eyes this time and leaned on the big autumn fragrance pillow, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and her whole face was like a faint white jade with a comforting brilliance.

Xinghong followed behind and asked Mo Ju in a low voice, "Are you still reading?" ”

Mo Ju shook his head: "It seems to be asleep!" After speaking, he gently lifted the curtain, crept in, put a thin bed of colorful silk clips on the second girl's body, and tiptoed out again.

Gu Xiyan, who had his eyes closed, opened his eyes slightly, and closed them gently.

After a day of reading, she was indeed tired.

The sun was gradually turning west, and the light in the room was eating away little by little by the darkness. When Gu Xiyan opened her eyes again, the room was already dark, she opened her eyes, and after half a moment, she adapted to such a light.

Li Chaoyang, who finally disappeared in the old palace in Jiannan County, and the one named Shen Xiyan was a conspiracy, or was there another hidden story...... Either way, this senior deserves respect. As an emperor, he plagiarized the Four Books and Five Classics, Tang and Song poems as thoroughly, and he could also produce things that are convenient for daily life such as glass and mercury mirrors, as well as complex machinery such as looms and sea ships...... What a genius!

What did he do before? Doctor of Science? Literature lover? Big businessman? ……

Gu Xiyan assumed and denied it. I can't memorize a copy of the Book of Poetry even if I read Chinese, let alone something like a sea ship that requires extremely high skill and creativity. And now, this person named Li Chaoyang has created all this, changed the living environment and living conditions of the Xia people, and the most important thing is that he has added a new culture to this ancient empire......

Such a person can be called a hero!

Gu Xiyan smiled.

Where is your place?
