As the Tianjuan inventory came here, a melodious piano sound slowly sounded in the sky, and a yellowed piece of paper appeared in the middle.
The picture flowed on this piece of paper, and the content of the post was presented word by word in front of the emperors. As expected, every word was exquisite. Make people linger.
[@Shiquan old man graffiti monster: Impossible, absolutely impossible! My Qing cavalry will never be so weak. Tianjuan, you must be mistaken! 】
Whatever Qianlong thought, he sent out the barrage.
【Made a mistake? The bloody history is there, engraved with China's century-old humiliation. 】
[Did you know that overseas in Great Britain, there is a huge museum that stores countless Chinese cultural relics. They all flowed out from the late Qing Dynasty. 】
【Every cultural relic there wants to return home from overseas. But even now that China is becoming stronger again, it is still facing many difficulties. 】
The late Qing Dynasty? Is that when their Qing Dynasty was about to fall?
Qianlong didn't want to believe it, but he knew that Tianjuan didn't need to lie to him.
Those textual scrolls, he had described them countless times, and even left his own comments and experiences on many manuscripts. Were they brought to what you call the West together?
These Westerners are really hateful!
If this is said, the demise of the Qing Dynasty must also be related to these Westerners.
By the way, there are also Japanese pirates, and these Japanese who want to take the Central Plains as their own are also very hateful.
It would be great if there was some way to prevent these foreigners from invading the Qing Dynasty again!
Hongwu Dynasty.
What? A few years later, foreigners stormed into the Forbidden City and took away all the treasures in the Forbidden City?
First the Mongols, and then these foreigners! How abominable!
Why is our land of China so troubled by disasters!
"If I destroy these foreigners first, they will not be able to invade our Central Plains again in the future!"
Looking at the Heavenly Scroll, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were bright.
Lao Zhu was furious, but Prince Zhu Biao was very calm and advised: "Father, the biggest problem of our Ming Dynasty now is the Mongols. After the Mongols are wiped out, the Japanese will have to be wiped out. But no matter what, these two places are very far away from our Ming Dynasty. close, suppress
But the West is thousands of miles away from our Ming Dynasty, and we don’t even know where they are now. Besides, Tianjuan also said that the West is only a few hundred meters strong. Years later, we are now Attacking them will only achieve half the result with half the effort."
"Yes, my father also thinks that the most important thing now is to build the treasure ship, find the America mentioned in the Tianjuan, and bring back potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes and other crops. . Then the most important thing is to expand overseas trade and put money into the national treasury."
Zhu Di finally understood that if he wanted to expand his territory and let the people live a prosperous life, he had to start from the sea. Make money in trade.
Only when there is enough money, many things can begin. Only then can the court not make ends meet and do more for the people.
Although Lao Zhu was indignant, he still felt clear in his heart.
But these Tatars and barbarians are so rampant that it is said that the Qing Dynasty after the Ming Dynasty also came from the grassland.
So, what is the use of his efforts to expel the Mongols?
Building sea ships, doing maritime trade, fighting Mongolia, destroying Japanese pirates, searching for America...
Zhu Yuanzhang made the final calculation in his mind, and he had more and more things to do.
I just don’t know how many of these things he can accomplish in his lifetime?
So at this moment, several more barrages flashed in the sky scroll:
[V@Super IQ patient with severe secondary disease: I want to build a big ship and want to go to America. I want to build a steam engine, fight against Japan, do sea trade, make penicillin... I want to ask, how can I find so many people who can help me realize my wish? 】
【@子公Cruel old father: I want to build sea ships, do maritime trade, fight Mongolia, destroy Japanese pirates, and find America. I dare to ask Grandma, how can I achieve it? 】
[V@天下人大智: So, my calligraphy and painting were also taken away by those Westerners? 】
Lei Xiaomeng read the first and second barrages and automatically ignored the third one.
【The master of up really admires the two majesties for their talents and strategies. But when it comes to how to achieve it, the up owner thought of the Westernization School that was later founded in the late Qing Dynasty. 】
[Although the Westerners did not have strong ships and cannons in the Ming Dynasty, if we in China could develop science and technology early, we would definitely be far behind the West. 】
【So, the up owner’s suggestion is to offer science and engineering courses in addition to liberal arts and martial arts. Specialize in research and development of related technologies. Unlike craftsmen, students with a background in science and engineering can also become officials. 】
School? Westernization School? Polytechnic school?
The eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Houzhao, the two great ancestors and grandsons, all brightened up.
Yes, since there are the number one scholar in literature and the number one scholar in martial arts, why can’t there be the number one scholar in rationality?
With these talents, let them give full play to their expertise. Are you worried that no one will be available when they do these things?
Not only them, Qin Shihuang also understood immediately when he saw Tianjuan's answer.
He can also run this kind of Neo-Confucianism school. Not only that, he could also try out measures such as imperial examinations in later generations on a small scale.
Even if the ministers and officials were unwilling to give up their qualifications for recommendation at this time, it would not affect his ability to select scholars from among the common people to find support for himself.
Thinking of this, Qin Shihuang was greatly relieved and immediately ordered: "Go and post a notice saying that I am recruiting paper craftsmen, and those who are selected can be compensated for one year of corvee."
No matter what, If you want to win scholars among the common people, the paper must be made first and the book must be printed first.
Only in this way can more smart people be selected from the common people for his use.
At this moment, the appreciation of "Current Situation Post" was finished, and the voice of the up master sounded again in the heavenly scroll.
[Remember that Zeng Gong also failed in many attempts, and finally had to return to his hometown to farm and educate his younger brothers and sisters. But although he returned to his hometown to farm, he did not give up his scientific examination. He even led his younger siblings to study together and prepare for exams. 】
【It was precisely because of his persistence that he was on the list of dragons and tigers in the imperial examination hosted by Ouyang Xiu. In addition to him, including his younger brother and brother-in-law, a total of six people in his family were awarded Jinshi at the same time. 】
【This shocked the government and the public at the time, and also spread a good story. 】
Six Jinshi in one discipline!
The emperors originally thought that Su Shi and Su Che's brothers had a double Jinshi, but they didn't expect that there was a Sixth Jinshi. Were these Jinshis from the Song Dynasty wholesale?
[These unique literary masters still appeared during the Renzong period of Song Dynasty. During the reign of Song Renzong, why were there so many talented people? Why do you feel that all these talented people were born during the reign of Song Renzong? 】
【Children, in fact, during the Song Renzong period, there were not only the six great masters of the Song Dynasty, but there were many, many great masters. It can be said that this era is a paradise for literati. 】
A paradise for literati?
At the beginning, all the emperors were yearning for these great talents of Song Renzong, but as time went by, they felt something was wrong.
Is it just a paradise for literati?
They are all literati who cannot lift their shoulders or lift their hands.
But military commanders are rarely heard of. It’s no wonder that the Song Dynasty emphasized culture and suppressed military power.
But even if you emphasize culture and suppress martial arts, if you are lame to this extent, it is equivalent to abandoning martial arts!
The dynasties before the Song Dynasty are just incredible. The emperors of the dynasties after the Song Dynasty, especially the Ming Dynasty, looked at Tianjuan and sneered in their hearts.
So the Song Dynasty was a big piece of fat.
By the end of the Song Dynasty, there were many small countries around it, and its territory was much smaller than that of the Tang, Yuan and Ming Dynasties.
Otherwise, it would not have been invaded by the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty and ruined the three hundred years of Zhao and Song Dynasties.
【How many famous literati are there in this era? 】
[In addition to the six mentioned before, as well as the familiar ones such as Bao Zheng, Lu Dajun, Zhang Zai, Cheng Hao, Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi, Wen Yanbo, Sima Guang and others. 】
[There are also Shen Kuo who wrote "Mengxi Bi Tan", Zhou Dunyi who wrote "Ai Lian Shuo", Liu Yong, the representative poet of the Wanyue School, Yan Shu, who is also known as "Yan Ou" with Ouyang Xiu, and the author of Chu Shi Cai Xiang published the first fruit tree classification book "Lychee Pu". 】
For the emperors after Renzong, these were indeed very familiar names, and some of them had already read these famous poems by heart even when they were enlightened.
But in fact, the Song Dynasty did not become stronger because of these people, but became weaker and weaker.
So, is it really a good thing that there were so many powerless literati in the Song Dynasty?
[In addition, during the reign of Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty, Ouyang Xiu was not the only one who scored three yuan in the scientific examination. There were three others, making a total of four. In the entire Song Dynasty, there were only six people who scored three yuan in a row. 】
【So, it’s the same sentence. Rather than saying that it was these talents who created this era of literary explosion, it is better to say that it was the relaxed environment under Song Renzong that created these students. 】
At this time, Qin Shihuang looked at the scroll, but couldn't help but curl his lips.
Talent is certainly valuable, but literati look down upon each other. Isn’t such a court noisy?
If he had seen ministers in the court quarreling over trivial matters and not doing business properly, he would have dismissed them from office and driven them out of the court.
Zhu Yuanzhang also looked disapproving.
He was the most impatient of those sour scholars who knew how to talk. Unlike military generals, a war is a war, and it is life-threatening. Who has ever seen someone who once went into battle, scolded the enemy away with just one mouthful, and then composed a poem and asked the enemy to offer the city for peace?
In Tianjuan's inventory, he did not praise Song Renzong. He clearly stated the reasons for the demise of the Song Dynasty.
Isn’t this the most obvious example of “empty talk harming the country”?
Emperors from various dynasties and generations were complaining in their hearts, but they saw the camera in the sky scroll flash, and it was replaced by the scene of appreciating the Qingming River Scene, and then the conversation changed.
【However, after taking stock of two episodes, we can say that Song Renzong was a generous king and a benevolent king. But is he a wise king? 】
【I think, in fact, many people already have the answer in their minds. 】
[The Qingli New Deal was started and ended by his own hands. It can be seen that he was indecisive and his methods were weak. 】【It can be seen from the fact that the strange book "General Commentary on Wu Jing" was shelved in a cabinet, and the various advanced weapons and ideas in it were discarded like worn out shoes by the Song people, that Song Renzong was completely muddle-headed, starting at the beginning and ending at the end. 】
【Coupled with his character that is very easy to compromise, he is destined to only maintain the status quo and cannot develop. As a result, the Song Dynasty failed to eradicate its shortcomings throughout its entire dynasty, leaving great hidden dangers for subsequent disasters. 】
Sure enough, the feelings of the emperors of past dynasties were correct. Grandma first raised her voice and then suppressed her. Is there something in her words?
They cheered up one after another.
Given that Grandma is recognized as the "king of off-topics" and her experience in previous issues, this is often the time when they can get more information.
It’s a pity that just when they braced themselves and planned to continue listening to Grandma’s “off topic”, the review of this episode ended.
[Okay, that’s it for this episode’s review. In the next episode, we will continue to take stock of the story of Song Renzong and his nine reign titles. 】
【Yes, there are nine reign names in one dynasty, which can be regarded as the most in history. But under each reign, Renzong left his footprints as an emperor. As a benevolent (weak) emperor, the change of his reign also revealed his situation at that time. 】
【The following is the time for leaving messages. Are you ready? This time there are ten messages, everyone is actively speaking! 】
[@lofty ambitions are hard to achieve the ideal youth: I died at the age of thirty-eight, depressed? I have always been in good health, how could this happen? 】
As the message prompt sounded, Lei Xiaomeng clicked on the first message and determined that the person should be the Song Shenzong played.
Thirty-eight years old should be considered middle age in ancient times. Although many emperors died at this age, the death of Song Shenzong was really a pity. So, Lei Xiaomeng thought for a while and replied:
[Reply 1@The ideal young man with great ambitions is hard to achieve, Your Majesty, my condolences. As I said before, the reason why you died young is largely related to the defeat of Xixia in the war. 】
[Reply 2 continued: As we all know, you launched Wang Anshi's reform and did achieve some results at the beginning. At least the situation of "the general does not know the soldiers, and the soldiers do not know the generals" has been effectively improved. 】
[Reply 3 continued It is precisely because of this that certain progress has been made in the preparation of the army, which has improved the combat effectiveness of the army. 】
Yes, it has indeed improved.
Looking at Tianjuan’s first few replies, Song Shenzong felt a little excited.
But Tianjuan suddenly changed the subject.
[Reply 4 continued. However, what you think has improved is just what you think. After you won the initial stage of victory against Xixia, you were so happy that you wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue and take back Yanyou in one fell swoop. 】
[Reply 5 Continued It’s a pity that the war between the Song Dynasty and Xixia only achieved victory in the early stage, and was later defeated by Xixia. 】
[After reply 6 was continued, the courtiers who were originally opposed to the reform immediately wrote a letter demanding that the New Deal be cancelled, and the Old Deal be restored. Even the Queen Mother in the harem put tremendous pressure on you. 】
These ministers are really thinking about sabotaging my reform all the time.
Song Shenzong suddenly remembered that the Zhengde Emperor mentioned in the Tianjuan had his own policies abolished by the cabinet ministers after his death? And this minister is still his most trusted teacher.
Can he, like Emperor Zhengde, first suppress the arrogance of these old ministers so that they will not always constrain him?
Song Shenzong had a headache when he thought that many of these ministers were left over from his cousin Song Renzong's selection of talents. These literati were used to being arrogant at the time of his cousin, and they were indeed difficult to deal with. It seems that a heavy blow has been achieved.
[Reply 7: You are overwhelmed under the heavy pressure, and coupled with the failure of the attack on Xixia, your decree has been opposed by more people. You were so angry that your body took a turn for the worse, and you died at the age of thirty-eight. 】
[Reply 8 continued. Later, the Queen Mother personally came forward to repeal the new law and continue to implement the old policy. In this way, your vigorous reform, which was carried out against the opinions of all the people, completely failed. 】
The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother!
Song Shenzong looked pale.
He could hit those ministers hard, but he could do nothing about the Queen Mother. If he disobeyed the Queen Mother, how could he let those literati scold him for being unfilial?
[Reply 9 continued In fact, many people attribute the failure of this reform to Wang Anshi alone. It is said that Wang Anshi is good at taking charge of politics, but Wang Anshi is just a scapegoat. The bad government of the Song Dynasty was closely related to the interests of the bureaucrats, aristocrats and landowners. 】
【Reply 10 continued and as the largest representative among these people, the emperor. Is it possible that he is against himself? The only thing he can do is improve. However, changes come and go, and there will be times when their own interests are affected. This is when the reform comes to an end. 】
"That's right! How could I, the emperor, turn against me?" Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have the same feeling, "You have to rise up like me and drive them out of power, then you can do whatever you want. "
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded repeatedly, but Zhu Biao, Zhu Di and others around him lowered their heads, and no one dared to speak.
Has their father forgotten that he is also an emperor now?
There are some things he can say, but they can't say a word.
[Reply 11 continued And this is exactly the case, many emperors who made their fortunes from the peasant uprising completed the identity change at the moment. He also broke away from his own class and, like the emperor he overthrew, became a representative of the bureaucrats, landlords and aristocracy. 】
【Reply 12 continued Therefore, even if there is a change of dynasty, some disadvantages will not disappear even if they can be alleviated. And often in the later period of this dynasty, the mistakes of the previous dynasty will continue. And then it was overthrown! 】
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been in high spirits just now, immediately became mute.
Then he became furious.
"Is this Tianjuan inciting the people to rebel? It's hateful, it's really hateful!"
If he hadn't left a message on the barrage today, he would definitely have spoken and scolded Tian. What a treason!
The "Brother Kanglang" who left a message behind "Ideal Youth":
[@哥婷Brother: Kanglangxiong: In our Song Dynasty, there was a more radical New Deal than the Ten New Deals of the Qingli New Deal ? Then wouldn’t our country, the Song Dynasty, be in danger? 】
No, just after answering the question of "Ideal Youth", this "Brother Anti-Wolf" asked this question.
If she had known earlier, she would have answered this "Brother Anti-Wolf"'s question first.
[Reply 1@ Brother Kanglang who loves to change his vest, Your Majesty, your "Qingli New Deal" is really not radical, but it only slightly touched the relevant policies set by Song Taizu. Many fundamental issues are simply not touched upon, let alone resolved. 】
[Reply 2 continues These policies formulated by Song Taizu are all problems in themselves, and there are endless hidden dangers. But as I just laid out in the video, you don't really want to change things at all. 】
[Reply 3 The following is just an attempt to use the New Deal to divert domestic attention and achieve another goal. As soon as the various domestic conflicts were resolved, you immediately abolished the New Deal. 】
[Reply 4 Continued It’s a pity that Fan Wenzhenggong, who “worries about the world’s worries first and enjoys the day after tomorrow”, has been used as a raft by you and has become a target of public criticism. 】
【Reply 5 continued The subsequent reform only lasted for one year and four months before you stopped it. Fan Zhongyan also left the court sadly. 】
At this time, Fan Zhongyan had just arrived at Song Renzong's inner study and reported to him matters related to the reform. He also saw what Tianjuan said just now on the road, but as soon as he came in, he saw the official leaving a message in Tianjuan.
Thinking of this inventory, it was okay at first. Hearing Tianjuan's praise of Emperor Renzong, he was very excited and felt that he was following a wise king.
But as the painting style took a turn for the worse, he realized that what Tianjuan had said before was not necessarily a good thing.
So he worked hard to lower his sense of existence.
Until now, when he heard Tianjuan once again mention the reasons for the failure of the Qingli New Deal, he realized that Tianjuan was right.
Nowadays, there are countless people in the court who are impeaching him. Although His Majesty Renzong does not believe what these people say, the three of them will become tigers and they will destroy their bones. One day, His Majesty will separate from him.
Now the reform has been going on for a year, and it is not long since that year and four months.
Not only that, His Majesty Renzong's attitude towards him has become subtle recently. Perhaps this is the reason.
So, does this also mean that the reform is about to fail and he will leave the court completely?
"Be worried about the world's worries first, and be happy after the world's happiness." He really hoped that he could do it, but times were changing, and if he failed, he could only accept the outcome calmly.
While I was lost in thought, I heard Grandma continue to reply:
[Reply 6 continued] As I said before, the status of the emperor means that he is compromising and unyielding. Thoroughness. And Song Renzong added the word "gentle". 】
[Reply 7 continued It is said that during Song Renzong's reign, not a single official was confiscated and his family was exterminated, which was a benevolent government. However, if he was benevolent to everyone, how could he not be cruel to others? 】
[Continued from Reply 8 In fact, it would have been the best time to reform the Song Dynasty at that time. At least the government was stable and there were no external wars. He could start with domestic affairs and make changes bit by bit. ]
[Reply 9 continued It's a pity that as soon as the New Deal began, Song Renzong became afraid and surrendered to the opposition early. 】
[Reply 10 continued. Throughout the Song Dynasty, the capitulation faction was almost from top to bottom. If there is any disturbance outside the pass, it may approach the capital. At this time, many ministers advocated moving the capital and surrendering. And he has not been criticized verbally or writtenly. 】
【Reply 11 continued This shows the trend among literati at that time. Later, Qin Hui originally advocated resistance to the Jin, but after being captured by the Jin army, he was quickly instigated to rebel and be used by the Jin people. 】
[Reply 12: In order to help the Jin people, he returned to the Southern Song Dynasty and became the prime minister of the dynasty. He controlled the government for more than 20 years, killed Marshal Yue, and ruined the Song Dynasty's plan to resist the Jin Dynasty. He lost half of the Song Dynasty and was eventually cast aside by future generations! 】
At this moment, he heard Song Renzong suddenly call Fan Zhongyan and said: "Xiwen, do you know what I am holding in my hand?"
Fan Zhongyan was stunned and looked at Song Renzong's hand, only to see it was a This memorial.
"Guan family, this is..."
"This is a memorial to impeach you for treason!" Song Renzong smiled, "There is also an autograph letter that you want to abolish me!"< br>
What!
Fan Zhongyan was startled and immediately knelt down.
