"When we talked about the Song Dynasty, we talked about the Southern Song Dynasty being destroyed by the Meng Yuan, and after the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, it was the bloody suppression and brutal rule of the Han people, and more than 90 years after the Yuan Dynasty entered the Central Plains, all over the country rose up, wolf smoke was everywhere, Zhu Yuanzhang sprung up, and finally settled the world."

Wuwu released a lot of pictures, all of which were photos of how the Yuan Dynasty ruled the people.

"During the Yuan Dynasty, the people of the world were divided into four classes, Mongols, Semu people, Han people, and Nan people. Han and Nan people are untouchables, kill a Han people, only pay the price of a donkey, in order to rule the Han people, set up a security chief in various places, the Han people marry a bride, the bride has to accompany the Mongolian chief on the first night, which makes most people for the sake of pure blood, will drown the first child, in order to prevent the Han rebellion, even the kitchen knife has to be shared by several families......"

"Under such oppression, many grievances among the people, these grievances accumulated together, just waiting for one day to erupt, and in the later period of the Yuan Dynasty, political corruption, rebellion among powerful ministers, coupled with its internal struggle for power and profit, made the entire Yuan Dynasty decline rapidly, and at this time, the people began to revolt."

"And Zhu Yuanzhang grew up in such an environment, his family has been farming for generations, his grandfather and father are hiding everywhere because of tax arrears, it can be said that it is really a family with four walls, we look at history, Zhu Yuanzhang's background is the poorest among many emperors in all dynasties, the bottom, he was able to ascend the throne from a beggar to the emperor, and he is really a bit like the Shuangwen male protagonist in later generations, which can be called a generation of legends."

Under the canopy, many people were listening carefully.

Zhu Yuanzhang had already called his sons to the palace, and everyone gathered together to listen.

Hearing that Wuwu praised him as a legend, Zhu Yuanzhang grinned.

"Listen, listen, your father and I were not easy back then, I couldn't even eat, I almost starved to death, how can you not worry about food and clothing now......"

He has never been shy about talking about his origins.

Worry-free smiled: "Our Hongwu Emperor has been herding cattle for the landlord's family since he was a child, until his hometown has experienced natural disasters such as drought and locust plague for two consecutive years, his parents and eldest brother died one after another, Zhu Yuanzhang was poor at that time and could not bury his parents, thanks to his neighbor Liu Jizu gave him a piece of land, when he and his second brother wrapped the bodies of their relatives with clothes and buried them on that land, and later in order to survive, he was forced to separate from his second brother and sister-in-law and nephew. ”

"In order to survive, Zhu Yuanzhang went to Huangjue Temple to be a monk, ringing the bell and chanting Buddha every day, sprinkling incense, but it didn't take long for such a day to happen, there was a famine at that time, and the host had no choice but to dismiss them, and the seventeen-year-old Zhu Yuanzhang had to start begging for a living."

"In the three years of begging, Zhu Yuanzhang traveled a lot of places and grew a lot of knowledge, three years later, he returned to Huangjue Temple, this time, it was a few years, until he defected to Guo Zixing's Red Turban Army, he was appreciated by Guo Zixing in the Red Turban Army, and married his adopted daughter Ma to him, and after that, it was Zhu Yuanzhang's road to hanging."

"He actually wanted to find something to eat, just to fight for a living, who knew that this world forced him to become a generation of emperors......"

"In 1355, Guo Zixing died of illness, Zhu Yuanzhang began to develop his own power, becoming a hero, and then he defeated Zhang Zhicheng, Chen Youliang and other departments, annihilated Fang Guozhen, and established the Ming Dynasty."

"This is what I said before about the opening bowl of the Ming Dynasty."

"And Zhu Yuanzhang was born in poverty, he knew how difficult the people were, and after ascending the throne, he has been persuading farmers to teach mulberry, encourage production, lightly punish small labor, and live with the people, and he is extremely disgusted with corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and he hates the corruption of officials very much, and in order to prevent corruption, a very strict legal system has been formulated."

"At the same time, he also promotes education and attaches great importance to the imperial examination, he is a workaholic, he can work day and night, just to be able to strengthen the control of the whole country, there is a Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang should be the most diligent emperor."

"Of course, he also has a lot to lose."

"Let's first talk about the incident of Zhu Yuanzhang reversing history."

"The first thing is human martyrdom, after Qin Shi Huang was martyred with terracotta figurines, few people were martyred, until the Tang and Song dynasties, almost extinct, but in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang restored the martyrdom system."

In order to prevent his relatives from making trouble, when he chose daughters-in-law for his sons, he chose the daughters of commoners or petty officials, and at the same time, the funeral system of concubines was greatly implemented, not only the harem concubines or princesses who had not given birth, but also those who had given birth to children...... I don't know how to say it, anyway, I think he is too unkind, too cruel, that is, to use women to give birth to your old Zhu family, to pass on the ancestry, and when the use is over, you have to let the family accompany the funeral, and the funeral is okay, there can be no complaints, and you have to dress up beautifully and die happily, I have never seen such a person who does not treat people as people. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's face is already ugly now.

He stared at the sky and said with a bit of anger: "Is it wrong for me to let them be buried and enjoy happiness in the next life?" ”

"And it does prevent the dictatorship of foreign relatives."

In the dynasties before the Ming Dynasty, many people did not understand and even hated such practices.

Liu Che frowned: "The surname Zhu is a bit unauthentic, I said before that I am a scumbag, compared to him, I can already be regarded as extremely beautiful, at least I will not let the concubine be martyred." ”

If Liu Che knew that he would kill Mrs. Gou Ge in his old age, I don't know if he would be able to say such a thing.

"Let's not talk about how cruel and inhumane such a thing is to be martyred, let's just say that he married his son to the daughter of a commoner or a petty official, and let his daughter marry into a commoner's family, it is indeed possible to prevent his relatives from making trouble, but he also broke off the connection with the important ministers, there is no contact with in-laws, there is no blood tie, if there is really something, who is willing to die for him?"

"The triangular relationship has always been the most stable, if there are no relatives, there is no nobles to contain, no matter which side of the Wenchen and the military generals has a little bit of something, the entire court will be out of balance, when one of them is in the dominant position, the one sitting on the throne is afraid that it will be at the mercy of others."

"In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, civil officials dominated the dominant position, so that the emperors could not help but have no choice, and those in power had to cultivate eunuch power, which also made the eunuch dictatorship in the middle and late Ming Dynasty reach its peak in the later period, and there was even a 9,000-year-old who was born all over the world."

"Nine thousand years old?"

Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the table angrily: "I have specially set up a rule, not to call the eunuch dictatorship, why is there still nine thousand years old, nine thousand years old, a good nine thousand years old." ”

"We talked about calling Zhu Qizhen, the son of heaven, and after Zhu Qizhen died, the temple was called Yingzong, Yingzong...... Don't you think it's ironic, just such a son of heaven, there is a temple number like Yingzong, what is Ying? Outstanding is said to be British, moral should be said to be British, and knowledge is roughly said to be British, this can be described as a beautiful flattery, but we look at what Zhu Qizhen has done, which point is he worthy of such a temple name as Yingzong? ”

But why did he have such a good word? It was because he abolished the funeral system, and this alone was praised a lot after his death, and until later generations, some people called him good because of this matter, which shows how much the people hated the funeral system at that time. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned the color of pig liver.

He felt that his face hurt to be hit by the fairy's words.

Called the Son of Heaven, that unscrupulous descendant, he erased the past just because of the abolition of life and martyrdom, in exchange for a lot of praise?

Could it be that he was really wrong?

"There are pros and cons to everything, don't throw away all his advantages just because you see the disadvantages of this matter, just like the Song Dynasty's emphasis on literature and light on martial arts, that is tantamount to walking lame, and it is the way to self-destruction."

"And Zhu Yuanzhang's martyrdom system is the same, let the concubines be martyred, leaving young children unattended, what will these children look like? When the clan and the palace are all crooked children who have no one to raise them, what future does the Ming Dynasty have? ”

In a word, Zhu Yuanzhang was completely deflated.

When he heard those words sentence by sentence, and then pondered in his heart, he had to admit that the fairy was right.

"This man is martyred...... Scrap it. ”

At least you can't let the Son of Heaven overturn the case because of this matter.

talked about some things about Zhu Yuanzhang, and the topic changed: "We have also talked about Ming Chengzu before, so I won't repeat it here, let's talk about the wonderful emperors of the Ming Dynasty." ”
