Extra: The yellow sand covers the ages, and the people said after the work

Previous Chapter

Yanjing, a class in a famous middle school.

A mediocre history lesson, but it seems so extraordinary, just because this lesson is about a special emperor in the history of the flower planter.

"So, Ming Gaozong, what kind of person is Tianming Emperor Zhu Zhanyan?"

On the podium, a gray-haired history teacher looked at the students below.

A teacher who can still be active in the front line of teaching and educating people in his sixtieth year is undoubtedly worthy of respect, but at this moment, no one has answered his question.

The students' ideas are relatively simple, they have not experienced the complexity of society, and their ideas are usually only based on questions, but even so, they are not easy to answer.

The reason is that the evaluation of this Ming Gaozong in history is too diverse.

A good evaluation, not to mention that it directly blew Ming Gaozong into the sky, but it is not much different.

As for the bad reviews...... Basically, Ming Gaozong is almost described as a bloodthirsty warmonger and murderer.

After all, in the 5,000 years of China, there is only one emperor who can have such military exploits and so many dead souls in his name.

……

Seeing that the audience was silent, the teacher on the podium was a little disappointed, but he was not discouraged.

After all, they are students, and they are only middle school students, and they come to school to learn knowledge, so if they can do anything, then why should they come to school?

"It's okay if you don't know, don't be discouraged, let's analyze it little by little."

The old teacher turned around as he spoke, and wrote four big words on the blackboard.

Yongle seven years.

"For Ming Gaozong, we all know that the historical record of him is that in addition to being born in Yanjing, and then in the seventh year of Yongle, there is almost no record during this period."

"In the seventh year of Yongle, under the influence of the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the borders of our Central Plains were repeatedly impacted, and in the seventh year of Yongle, there were generals such as Qiu Fu and other princes who went out to conquer outside the fortress but died on the battlefield."

"In such a situation, Zhu Di, the reigning Ming Taizong at that time, must be unacceptable, so the next move of the Ming Dynasty is naturally the Northern Expedition."

"However, the generals of the Ming Dynasty killed and killed during the Hongwu period, and retreated, and in the Yongle period, there was only one Zhang Fu left among the veteran generals, but Zhang Fu was still in Yunnan at that time, and the rebellion of Chen Jikuo in the southern Yue Kingdom of Ping'an."

"In the case that no one can believe it, Ming Taizong Zhu Di decided to drive the expedition in person, and the protagonist we are talking about, that is, Ming Gaozong Zhu Zhanyan, began to emerge from this time."

With that, the old teacher turned around again and wrote two words on the blackboard, for a total of six words.

"Everyone knows that the Ming Dynasty governed the country with Confucianism, and at that time it pursued Cheng Zhu Lixue, which was known as people-oriented and governed the country with benevolence and filial piety."

"However, Ming Gaozong did something in this Northern Expedition that everyone did not expect and went against the entire era."

"It's ......"

The old teacher's voice was elongated, and there was a sense of anticipation in his tone.

"Tsukikyo Temple!"

Under the podium, the students replied in unison.

"That's right, Zhujingguan!" The old teacher turned around and wrote the blackboard and wrote down the words Jingguan.

"You must know that the Ming Dynasty at that time governed the country with Confucianism, pursued Cheng Zhu Lixue, and was known to govern the country with benevolence and filial piety."

"This filial piety is naturally the filial piety of filial piety and filial piety, and this benevolence is naturally the benevolence of benevolence and benevolence."

"The construction of the Beijing Temple, and the construction of a Beijing Temple based on the bones of 200,000 people, greatly impacted people's concepts at that time."

What does that amount to? Let's put it this way, Mr. Gu once said that we flower growers have a very unique quality in their bones, and this quality is gentleness. ”

"What Ming Gaozong did is equivalent to subverting people's perception of flower growers."

"Of course, in fact, there are very few people in history who can achieve the level of Ming Gaozong, after all, the deeds he left behind are not only those bad ones, but also the heights that other emperors can't reach in their lifetime."

"After all, to expand the territory, it should be the first person in history to be Ming Gaozong, and Genghis Khan can only look at him."

"Although Ming Gaozong conquered Eurasia, he did not destroy the cultural classics left by other peoples, so we can draw some things from European history that we can't see in the history of flower planters."

"For example, before Ming Gaozong, Europe successively called two people the whip of God, and the first person to be called the whip of God by Europeans was Attila, the leader of the Huns in Eurasia."

"Attila's life is enough to be called a legend."

"Under the leadership of Attila, the Huns continued to expand, eventually reaching the Po River and heading to Ravenna, the capital of the Western Roman Empire."

"However, although the Hun Empire reached unprecedented heights, it eventually stopped at the Po River and failed to advance further westward."

"After Attila, the one the Europeans called the second whip of God was Genghis Khan."

"Genghis Khan, as we all know, we learned the history of the Yuan before learning the history of the Ming Dynasty, Genghis Khan's full name is Genghis Khan, and the reason why he is called the whip of God is naturally because of the attack on Europe."

"But like the first Whip of God, Genghis Khan failed to achieve the great cause of completely conquering Europe, and in the end, Genghis Khan's conquest of Europe stopped at the Black Sea."

"After these two people, it's the Ming Gaozong that we talked about in this class."

"In fact, although Ming Gaozong is known as the third whip of God and the most successful whip of God, in fact, Ming Gaozong has never had the name of God's whip."

"The reason is because Ming Gaozong's thinking is more exclusive, which can be seen from his strong admiration of ramology, because the theme of ramology is great unification and revenge."

"Great unification, needless to say, everyone knows it, so what is great revenge?"

"For the study of rams, everyone may be most familiar with the sentence 'The revenge of the ninth world can still be avenged?' ”

"This sentence is from "The Legend of the Ram: The Four Years of Zhuang Gong", but in fact, this sentence is only the first half, but the second half is not in the book "The Legend of the Ram: The Four Years of Zhuang Gong", but what Confucius said.

"In the Spring and Autumn Period, the ram said: 'Can the revenge of the ninth world be avenged?' Confucius said: 'The royal road is retro, and the king is respected.' The revenge of the tenth generation can still be avenged!'"

"Then why do you say ramology? What does Ram Studies have to do with Ming Gaozong's Western Expedition? There is another country involved, which is called the Timurid Empire. ”

"Many people don't know that the Timurid Empire once wanted to conquer the Ming Dynasty in the east, and at that time, the king of the Timurid Empire called the Ming Dynasty emperor 'the wild boar emperor of the Khitan Kingdom', which is obviously a contemptuous title."

"However, before Timur could set out to conquer what he saw as the 'Wild Boar Emperor of the Khitan Kingdom', he died, and in the end the matter was over."

"But, by coincidence, this Timur died in 1405, which was the third year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty."

"Later, when Zhu Zhanqi was still the prince of the Han Dynasty, he placed people in the Ming Dynasty's city, and finally went to the West through Zheng He, arrived in Central Asia, and then arrived in Central America through Central Asia."

"This is the first time that everyone knows that our flower growers have crossed the ocean of Eurasia and finally retrieved the seeds of crops such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and rubber trees."

"At that time, the treasure ships of the Ming Dynasty were the most advanced ships in the world, and the shipbuilding technology of the Ming Dynasty was also the most advanced in the world, but even so, two hundred people...... Or it should be said that there are one hundred and ninety-five people, even if they have obtained the advanced shipbuilding technology of the Ming Dynasty, but the voyage across the continental plate has to be said to be a miracle. ”

"And in the process, Ming Gaozong Zhu Zhan Yan also learned the title of 'Wild Boar Emperor of the Khitan Kingdom' and Timur's ambition to conquer the Ming Dynasty in the east."

"Think about it, a person who already strongly admires the idea of great revenge of the ram, coupled with the knowledge that there are enemies in distant Central Asia who are eyeing the Ming Dynasty, can Ming Gaozong bear it?"

"Obviously not."

"Of course, this is just our speculation, and we don't know why Ming Gaozong crossed such a long distance to conquer Central Asia and Europe."

"Some people say that he knew Timur's contempt for the Ming Dynasty, and some people say that it was because he wanted to avenge the three generals under his command, because Qian Yong, Jian Xiao and Zhu Sanfeng were the only three people left among the 200 people at that time, and they also suffered inhuman treatment and humiliation in Central Asia."

"It is also said that Ming Gaozong was a man who liked to fight, because before he went west, he had personally led his troops to conquer and destroy the Wa Kingdom, the Great Yue Kingdom, Siam, Nanzhang and Delhi Sultan."

"We don't know exactly why, because there is no record of it in the existing historical records, and there is no information about it among the indigenous peoples of Central Asia and Europe."

"But this is normal, after all, although there are still more than one million white people living in Europe, they have been assimilated by the culture of our flower planters, because with the policy of Ming Gaozong at that time, if the Han people still dare to come out to show off the market, they will definitely be killed."

When it comes to this, the spirit of the old teacher is obviously not as good as it was at the beginning, after all, he is also older, and he has said so much.

After opening the cup he had brought and taking a sip of water, the old teacher spoke again.

"So, back to our original question, what kind of person is Zhu Zhanyan, Emperor Tianming of Ming Gaozong?"

"Before, some people used 'his merits are also excellent, his faults are also prominent, the sins are in the contemporary, and the merits are in the thousands of years' to evaluate Emperor Yang of Sui, but I personally don't agree with it, I think this sentence is the most appropriate to evaluate Ming Gaozong."

What does that mean? Let's break it down. ”

"His merits are also outstanding, needless to say, it means that his merits are great."

"His faults are also revealed, and the manifestations here are not the meaning of highlighting and commending, but the meaning of manifestation, which means that his faults are also manifested in front of people."

"The last sin is in the present generation, and the merit is in the future, which means that although there is a sin, it is only in the present, and its merit is always continued."

"To sum up, Ming Gaozong is a person with outstanding merits and mistakes, but they are all immediate mistakes, and his merits have been continued until now."

"I personally think that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty is not worthy of this evaluation, in contrast, Ming Gaozong is the most suitable for the saying of 'his merits are also outstanding, and his faults are also highlighted', and his merits are described as 'sins in the present and merits in the future'."

"Why? Because everything that Ming Gaozong has done is a credit to us, it is to ensure the stability of the flower planter since then, so that the flower planter will no longer worry about external enemies. ”

"But for the Arab, Yupeptide and Caucasian races, Ming Gaozong is a demon who has killed countless people."

……

Jingle bell~

The most anticipated voice of the students sounded, and the old teacher turned his head with some regret, looked at the few words on the blackboard, and finally put away the book, looked at the students and said.

"Class."

"Stand up!"

"Goodbye teacher......"
