Chapter 71 The Old Locust Tree on the Coal Mountain

Hongli, Cixi and the other two stood in front of Xuanye, but the three of them were relatively speechless.

Among the top ten foolish emperors, there were only two "emperors" from the Qing Dynasty, and these two people successfully met in the semi-finals.

Xuanye only felt his face dull and there seemed to be countless people poking their backbone of the Qing Dynasty.

After trying several times, Xuanye sighed and said, "Stop talking about anything else. Just focus on sharing the information of future generations. At least I will prevent the Opium War and the invasion of the British and French coalition forces in my world."

"Saint Ancestor." Cixi called out lightly, but she didn't know how to explain.

"Grandpa, grandson will work hard and will never let history repeat itself!" Hongli felt that his Qing Dynasty might be able to be rescued.

Hongli's attitude was pretty good. Xuanye nodded expressionlessly when he saw this.

The ten-minute communication time ended soon, and as the light column fell, the twenty emperors returned to their positions again.

In front of Su Qian, the rewards from Shi Jingtang and Liu Ao appeared. He immediately felt that these two people were, "I'm afraid that even the system has given up."

The sixth place is Shi Jingtang, the Emperor Gaozu of the Later Jin Dynasty, has three rewards, two reward slots, and you can choose two of them.

[1. Reward a "children's hat" (wearing it can last a hundred years, but it is not guaranteed not to be beaten to death).]

[2. Reward Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian for a one-day tour of the scenic spot (you can feel what integrity and dignity are like)]

[3. Good weather (you can choose the time of use independently, and after use, you can maintain good weather for three years under management, and the probability of crop harvest is greatly increased)]

After Su Qian looked at the options, he did not have the right to give Shi Jingtang the reward this time.

"Forget it the first item, that's really burying my Chinese history.

The second item can give you a little experience of what dignity is.

As for the third item, it can at least bring some comfort to the people."

Su Qian directly put the second and third rewards into the reward slot, and then he looked at the rewards of Emperor Cheng of Han Liu Ao.

Emperor Cheng of Han also received three rewards, and two reward slots.

[1. Reward a wine pool and meat forest (people who stay in the wine pool and meat forest are prone to physical pleasure, but will continue to be affected by the decline in intelligence and lifespan)]

[2. Reward the Pure Heart and Little Desire Talisman Stone*1 (After using it, the user becomes clear and Little Desire, and can dissolve all kinds of desires in his heart)]

[3. Good weather (you can choose the time of use independently, and after use, you can maintain good weather for three years under management, and the probability of crop harvest is greatly increased)]

"I'll go, this Liu Ao will die!"

For Liu Ao, if there is no life for women or men, isn’t that just forcing him to die?

Forget it, the wine pool and meat forest. Instead of letting him continue to harm the people in a foolish way, it is better to spend the rest of his life with a pure heart and few desires. Don’t ask him to make contributions, just ask him not to harm the people too much.

Su Qian directly stuffed the second and third items into the reward slot, and then issued an order to issue a reward to the system.

Soon, among the curious eyes of the emperors, the sixth place in the list of the foolish monarchs, and the reward of Shi Jingtang, the Emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty, appeared.

[Reward 1: Reward Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian’s one-day tour of the scenic spot (you can feel what integrity and dignity are like)]

[Reward 2: Good weather and rain (you can choose the time of use independently, and after use, you can maintain good weather and rain for three years under management, and the probability of crop harvest is greatly increased)]

Shi Jingtang was very surprised and said, "Why can't I choose my reward yourself?"

But the ten emperors who first started attending the exchange meeting knew that Su Qian made the choice for him directly.

"Zhongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian hangs himself for one day's trip to the scenic spot?" Zhu Di grinned and said, "Su Shangshen is killing people and killing his heart!"

"Hahahaha! Let the Emperor of Ming teach you what 'dignity' is, what 'conscience' is, and what 'the emperor guards the country', and the king dies in the country'!!"

When talking about the locust tree that Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian hanged himself, Emperor Kangxi Xuanye felt a little nostalgic.

"I wonder if the iron lock on the locust tree that my father ordered was still there. When I go back, why don't I go and take a look?"

Back then, Li Zicheng, the King of Rebellion, led the peasant army to capture the capital of the Ming Dynasty, which scared people and panic, and officials and civilians in the city fled one after another.

Emperor Chongzhen in the Forbidden City was still resisting tenaciously and beat the drums to court himself, which was a rare situation among emperors of all dynasties.

It’s just a pity that the civil and military officials in the court had already scared away at that time, and no one came to the court.

When Chongzhen saw this scene, he felt guilty and deeply frustrated. With all his thoughts, he sent someone to escort the prince out of the palace to escape. The remaining group of concubines and palace maids, Chongzhen did not want them to fall into the hands of Li Zicheng's peasant army, ordered them to be killed and buried with him.

After everything was arranged, Chongzhen came to the coal mountain opposite the Forbidden City with guilt for his ancestors and great hatred for the rebels.

After taking a look at the great rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjian hanged himself under an old locust tree.

The news that Chongzhen was hanged under the tree quickly spread throughout the world.

Li Zicheng, who broke into Beijing, thought he had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and began to plot to seize the Ming Dynasty.

But he never expected that the mantis stalked the cicada and the oriole was behind.

The Qing soldiers who broke through Shanhaiguan and stepped on the dust actually broke through Beijing with the slogan "Going to Beijing to serve the king" and drove away Li Zicheng's uprising army with his powerful troops.

Later, in order to comfort the anxious Han people, the Manchus buried the body of Emperor Chongzhen in a grand manner and posthumously named Emperor Zhuang Liemin.

In terms of inquiries, the Manchus named the old locust tree hanging on Chongzhen as the "murderer", and then asked the Qing soldiers to tie the tree with large iron chains and named it "Sin Huai". At the same time, they also blamed part of the crime to Li Zicheng, using this method to appease the hearts of the Han people.

Not only that, Emperor Shunzhi also ordered that when officials in the court pass by this tree, they should dismount and look up to them at the same time reflect on themselves. They tried to make the old locust tree a symbol and kept sounding the alarm bell in the hearts of officials, so as to prevent the Qing Dynasty from moving onto the old path of the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

Unfortunately, the corruption and greed of Qing officials did not change because of this tree.

From the Kangxi period, the Qing Dynasty gradually became corrupt.

After the outbreak of the Opium War, the Qing government, which once claimed to be the supreme country of the Celestial Empire, was completely disgraced. They could even use unequal treaties that lost power and humiliated the country in exchange for a period of time to survive.

In 1900, the Eight-Nation Alliance entered the capital and took away the iron chains locked on the old locust tree.

More than a decade later, the Qing government was forced to announce its abdication and the feudal dynasty officially perished!

From Shi Jingtang's reward, he thought of the old locust tree that was chained, and Kangxi suddenly remembered the inventory of himself in the video.

Su Qian affirmed his actions, but at the same time pointed out many of his problems.

The biggest problem is that he was self-confidence and failed to ride the east wind of the industrial revolution. The emperor behind him sealed himself even more according to his policies, which led to his ultimate closing to the country and being beaten up by others as primitive people.

Emperor Kangxi Xuanye was upright and murmured: "I haven't visited Coal Mountain for a long time, why don't you go up and take a look after you go back this time?"

"Shang Shen Su gave me Xuanye and the opportunity to repair the dead in the Qing Dynasty. I must not just waste it!"

"Let this locked locust tree be witnessed by Xuanye's determination!"
