Chapter 2 Taking stock of the ten most meritorious emperors in history
My eyes went dark,
After feeling dazed for a while,
When Ying Zheng woke up again, he found that he had appeared in a dark space for some reason.
Just as he was looking at the boundless darkness around him in horror, nine more beams of light suddenly fell down one after another!
At this time, the information from the Wanchao Communication Space was quickly introduced into everyone's consciousness, allowing them to immediately understand their current situation and what they would encounter next.
"So it turns out that this is a place for immortals to train mortals. Not only is there no personal danger, it may even be beneficial."
After learning that there was no danger, Ying Zheng quickly calmed down and began to take stock of the surrounding situation.
But after looking around, Ying Zheng found that except for the other nine light pillars, there was still nothing there.
Although he couldn't see what was going on in the other light pillars, Ying Zheng could guess that there should be people like him who were pulled into this place by Wan Chao's communication space.
After all the people in the ten beams of light had digested the relevant information about Wanchao Platform, a huge screen suddenly appeared in the dark space.
Several big characters appeared on the screen,
[Take stock of the ten most meritorious emperors in history!]
"Hey! It is indeed a place of immortals, and the methods are really great!"
"The top ten most meritorious emperors in history. Could it be that he is the one trapped in these ten pillars of light?!"
"Is it trying to prioritize us? That's interesting!"
"Ha! What a loud tone! I want to see where you would rank me, Li Shimin!"
The emperors who were pulled into the space, after figuring out what the moving pictures in front of them wanted to express, their eyes at this moment were a little wandering, a little expectant, and finally turned into excitement and expectation.
at the same time,
In the time and space where these ten emperors originally lived, the image and sound of the video also appeared simultaneously on the Wordless Monument.
Whether it was the officials or the people who were watching, they were all attracted by the screen that appeared in front of the wordless monument at this moment, and they all looked at the big screen quietly.
Along with a burst of impassioned music, the video officially started.
[There is a thousand-piece bluestone monument erected on the wall to tell the future generations what is right and wrong.
The beautiful rivers and mountains are seen in the dust, and the glorious years are recalled in dreams.]
[Hello everyone, welcome to this short video: taking stock of the ten most meritorious emperors in history!]
[Producer: Su Qian]
[Note: This video only discusses merits and demerits, regardless of ranking.]
Although the video said there was no ranking, everyone who saw the video was already preparing to rank the emperors who would appear.
The video scene changed in various ways, and finally settled on a figure wearing a dragon robe, sitting in the Golden Palace of the Forbidden City!
[The tenth among the ten most meritorious emperors in history: Aixinjueluo Xuanye, the Holy Ancestor of the Qing Dynasty]
"Aixinjueluo·Xuan Ye???"
Being pulled into the space, the emperors before the Qing Dynasty were immediately surprised by this name.
This obviously exotic name had never appeared before the Ming Dynasty.
Because of this, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang glared angrily and said: "We finally drove away the outsiders, why did a foreign emperor appear in the later generations? Which unfilial son lost my Ming Dynasty?!"
Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, frowned and thought. He had a vague feeling that he had heard this surname somewhere before.
Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, raised his sword eyebrows and murmured to himself in a gloomy tone: "How could the dignified Han people be dominated by a foreign country? Did you, the descendants of the future generations, all grow up eating sex?!"
Fortunately, these ten people are trapped in the light curtain, and they cannot see each other's appearance or hear each other's speech. Otherwise, this is just the beginning of a group fight that may lead to a tragedy.
The video continues to progress,
[The Great Wall is thousands of miles empty, a dream of heroes for generations to come!]
[He ascended the throne at the age of eight and reigned for sixty-one years, making him the longest-ruling emperor in the feudal dynasty.]
[In the early days of the Qing Dynasty's rule, the domestic and international situation was very severe. Faced with the severe situation, Emperor Kangxi insisted on using troops on a large scale, and finally achieved the integrity and unification of the country. 】
At this time, a map marked "Qing" also appeared in the video.
The large red area that represents the "Qing Empire" is where the previous dynasties were located, and its area is larger than that of any previous era (excluding the Yuan Dynasty)!
Seeing this, the originally angry Tang Zong, Han Emperor, and First Emperor suddenly became quiet.
Zhu Di originally thought that under his conquests and governance, the Ming Dynasty had reached the largest area controlled by the Han people in history.
But now I suddenly discovered that the land area controlled by the Qing Dynasty was actually larger than that of the Ming Dynasty!
Zhu Yuanzhang murmured to himself: "Compared with the Yuan Dynasty, it is still a little small."
Li Shimin said to himself: "Even if you don't know how to govern civilly, are you still barbaric?"
Liu Che looked at the territory map that was almost twice the size of the Han Dynasty, and his tone became more relaxed, "It's not bad."
The First Emperor, Ying Zheng, stared at the area in the north that was originally a grassland and the vast territory in the south, and murmured quite happily: "Very good, at least the things that I, the Qin Dynasty, have not been able to do yet, at least later emperors can do it."
!”
[Since Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty formulated the policy of "Manchu and Han as one family" despite the strong opposition of his ministers, the Manchu and Han ethnic groups gradually merged and became one, which also laid a solid foundation for the prosperous era of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong.]
[In the first month of the eighteenth year of Shunzhi (AD 1661), Xuanye was only eight years old, and the 24-year-old Shunzhi Emperor Fulin suddenly died of illness.
Emperor Shunzhi did not appoint a crown prince during his lifetime. Xuan Ye finally accepted Tang Ruowang's suggestion and selected Xuanye as his heir because he had been immune to smallpox. He appointed Xuanye as the crown prince in the form of a posthumous edict.]
[On the ninth day of the first lunar month of that year, Xuanye was in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. He was only 6 years old and 8 years old. He was granted amnesty and changed to the first year of Kangxi.
The imperial edict of Shunzhi also appointed four ministers, Sony, Suksaha, Yebilong and Aobai, to assist the administration.
When his biological mother was seriously ill, Xuanye "attended her devoutly day and night, tasting the decoctions and medicines without closing her eyes or taking off her clothes."
When his mother died at the age of ten, Xuanye kept vigil day and night, without water or rice, and kept crying.
Kangxi later recalled that when he was young, he was "at the knees of his parents and never had a day of happiness."]
Seeing this, Emperor Kangxi recalled the hardships, loneliness and hesitation of his childhood, and his eye circles began to turn slightly red.
"Oh, when we were young, we saw our parents, uncles, and brothers die in front of our eyes. You only lost a mother. What does it matter?" It's more miserable, right? Who can be worse than me, Zhu Yuanzhang?
[The situation in which the four ministers jointly assisted the government did not last long, and the conflicts and struggles between them became increasingly open and fierce.
Among the four, the one who gradually mastered real power was Obai.
He has usually shown himself to be arrogant and domineering, but at the beginning of his "care of destiny", he was still cautious and fulfilled his oath.
However, within three years, his arrogance and autocratic ambitions were revealed.
He was at the bottom, unwilling to be followed by others, and was always offside to seize power. First of all, he was incompatible with Suk Saha. In June of the sixth year of Kangxi (AD 1667), the first assistant Sony died of illness.
On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, the fourteen-year-old Emperor Kangxi officially took over the throne and was congratulated in the Hall of Supreme Harmony and granted amnesty to the world.
However, only ten days later, Obai killed Suk Saha, who was also the auxiliary minister. A few days later, he and Ebilong were promoted to the first-class Duke. The actual political situation was not under the direct control of Emperor Kangxi.]
See here,
Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, also recalled those difficult years, and he couldn't help but sigh:
"Although I was in poverty back then, and after the overlord raised the army, I was driven away like a lost dog, but at least I still had a group of life and death friends, who finally helped me make a comeback. This kid was helpless and surrounded by jackals and tigers.
