Chapter 112: How to Choose the First Emperor of the Ages
Whether Lao Zhu is the first emperor of the ages, in fact, there is a lot of controversy about this thing, not to mention whether Lao Zhu is the first emperor of the ages, even the term the first emperor of the ages, who are the people of the first emperor of the ages, the controversy is unimaginable.
The term "Emperor of the Ages" originated in the Ming Dynasty and originated from Li Zhen's evaluation of Qin Shi Huang's Yingzheng in "Collected Books". Later, Wang Zhijian used it to evaluate Tang Taizong Li Shimin in "Reading History and Business Language, Volume 3".
This vocabulary was the first word proposed and created by Li Zhen, and Zhu Yuanzhang was evaluated as "an emperor of tens of thousands of ancient times" in the "Continuation of the Collection".
In modern times, the controversy over the first emperor is undoubtedly more complicated.
Qin, Han, Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and even the Manchu Qing Dynasty have their own fans, and the number is extremely large.
In this case, there are undoubtedly more candidates for the First Emperor of the Ages.
From Yingzheng, who created the emperor's system, to Liu Che, who laid the feudal system, to Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and then to Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, sometimes some shameless people will add Kang Mazi, which is already five.
In fact, there are even more online debates.
For example, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, and Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty added up one by one, and there were almost no less than ten of them.
Such a large team of candidates undoubtedly led to the dispute over the first emperor of the ages throughout almost the entire history.
Even Yingzheng and Liu Che, as the founders of the feudal system and the emperor system, and the formulators have opinions, not to mention Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.
But this has nothing to do with Jiang Chen.
In Jiang Chen's opinion, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, even if he has such and such problems, he can indeed be regarded as the first emperor of the ages.
As for the reason, it's simple.
First of all, throughout the two thousand years of Chinese feudalism, there is no better way to win the country than the Han and Ming, and the era of the Ming Dynasty is even more special.
During the Mengyuan period, as the first time that the Chinese nation fell as a whole, this was almost a devastating existence, if it were not for the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang to expel the Tatars and restore China, no one knows where the whole China would go.
Secondly, Lao Zhu's background is too low, so low that it is the only one in the feudal dynasty of the entire historical unity.
One bowl at the beginning and one country at the end, injecting genes that can be inherited for thousands of years into the Chinese nation.
Even if Chen Sheng and Wu Guang more than a thousand years ago had already shouted out that the prince and the prince would have a kind of Xiangning, Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty Taizu started in the cloth, fought hard to take the world, not by the Zen of Tang Yu, the king of Tang Wu, the dragon and the tiger changed, the rate from the wind and clouds, the conquest of chaos and violence, the Qing Emperor Yu, between eight years, the sea was determined, and then He Tianzhiqu, ascended to build the emperor's pole, the ancients have come, and the books contain it.
But after four hundred years of development in the Han Dynasty and the Sui and Tang dynasties, the world seems to have become an era of princes and generals.
Even if the two Song families disappear.
However, looking at birth is still the existence that determines everything.
The prevalence of the imperial examination did break the monopoly.
However, it was only from a big family to a gentry and wealthy family.
The essence hasn't changed much.
In ancient times,
Those who have no house or land are called streams, those who do not have proper work are called gangsters, and those who steal things are called thieves.
Those who steal things are called bandits, those who endanger national security are called thieves, and those who plot to usurp the throne are called traitors.
The foreign invaders are called Kou, the famous families are called Hanmen, and those who have houses and fields are called commoners.
Those who have civil servants in their families are called officials, and those who are soldiers in their families are called military households.
The tenants who rent the land of the landlord's family are called tenants, those who breed livestock are called herdsmen, and those who do big business at home are called rich merchants.
Cold door, no matter how cold it is, it also has a door.
Those who can participate in the imperial examination must at least be a poor family, and no matter how poor they are, they are also commoners.
However, Lao Zhu won the world as a beggar, and the significance of the entire time and space is undoubtedly unimaginable.
Coupled with its restoration of China and the expulsion of the Tartars, it laid the foundation of the post-feudal era, why can't it be called an emperor through the ages.
As for Zhu Yuanzhang's limitations.
Seriously, there are no limits to which emperor.
Even Li Shimin, who is known as the almost flawless emperor of the Tang Dynasty in feudal history, has limitations.
Not to mention Zhu Yuanzhang, who was just born as a beggar.
The evaluation of the emperor is not based on his shortcomings, but on what he has done and how much impact it has.
At least that's what Jiang Chen thinks.
Pouring a pot of tea, Jiang Chen sipped it gently.
Waiting for Ming Taizu's answer,
However, after a while, Ming Taizu did not present any new words.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but shake his head, chuckled, and glanced out the window.
I found that the sky was already a little westward.
"Oh no, I forgot the time!"
Looking at the sky, Jiang Chen suddenly reacted, couldn't help but pat his forehead, and spoke in an anxious voice.
The figure quickly turned off the computer, got up, and walked towards the door.
Jiang Chen's avatar dimmed instantly.
On the other side, Zhu Yuanzhang had just prepared the wording and was about to speak, and he was dumbfounded.
But fortunately, in the group chat at this moment, the other emperors reacted.
Accompanied by Lao Zhu was selected as the first emperor of the ages.
Streams of information immediately poured into the minds of these emperors.
At this moment, whether it is Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, or Ming Shizong Zhu Houxi, or Chongzhen, and Zhao Yu, the late Song Dynasty emperor, they all understand what Lao Zhu gained during the Hongwu period at this moment.
"Father, you have been selected as the first emperor of the ages!"
Ming Chengzu Zhu Di opened his mouth, only feeling that he was full of envy.
An emperor through the ages.
As one of the first two people to enter the group, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di can be said to be the first to know about the selection of the first emperor of the ages.
In addition to the initial excitement, he quickly calmed down.
After all, although Ming Chengzu Zhu Di is conceited, he is not an idiot, and he naturally knows that there are hundreds of emperors in the entire Huaxia, and the probability that he can select the first emperor of the ages is almost negligible.
The top 10 is pretty much the same.
didn't expect that in this case, his father Zhu Yuanzhang would be selected as the first emperor of the ages.
And the rewards of this Emperor of the Ages are too rich.
Even if he just saw the brief message that appeared in the chat group, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di only had a look of envy.
Ten years of life aside, that's an extra decade to live.
That's enough to drive any emperor crazy, not even him.
Not to mention that in addition to the ten-year longevity, there is also the wisdom of the people, the hearts of the people, and the general nectar.
Needless to say, the wisdom of the people and the hearts of the people.
Even for the Ming Dynasty in the Yongle period at this moment, it is extremely important.
If Yongle Time and Space had this blessing, Zhu Di would even have the confidence to see the world described in Jiang Chen's books in his lifetime.
It's a pity that none of this seems to have anything to do with him.
Thinking of this, Zhu Di, the ancestor of Ming Chengzu in the Taihe Palace, couldn't help but sigh.
Of course, not only him at this moment, but also Zhu Houxi of Ming Shizong, Zhu Youzhen, Emperor Chongzhen, and Zhao Yu, Emperor of the late Song Dynasty, are all like this.
