In the eyes of Immortal Jiajing, he has now figured out the mystery.
As long as you follow the right path, you will eventually gain enlightenment.
At this moment, Jiajing glanced at the other emperors, feeling quite proud that everyone was drunk and I was alone.
Ji Boying glanced at the Jiajing Immortal who stood up and saluted him respectfully. He didn't know who the Jiajing Immortal learned this weird disciple ceremony from. It was very similar to the messy salutes in the ancient puppet shows of later generations. It didn't seem to cause embarrassment. His saluting posture is no longer like that of a god.
Five Thunder Dharma?
Why don't you get struck by lightning?
I teach you, who teaches me? !
What's going on in this old boy's head every day?
Originally, Ji Boying thought that after Jiajing Immortal entered the school, he would slowly wake up. But now it seems that instead of getting better, his condition has worsened.
"Come to my office after class."
One word comes out.
Immortal Jiajing's body trembled violently, and the excitement in his eyes was difficult to describe in words.
This reminded him of a story he had read when he was still a prince. In that story, the Patriarch sternly told the monkey to go find him alone in the middle of the night! (Note: The story is not a book)
'Master is finally willing to teach me the magic of immortality! '
"Zhu Houcong will obey the master's orders!"
Suppressing his inner excitement and filled with expectant reverence, Immortal Jiajing sat down again.
Is it possible that there really is a "Five Thunder Dharma" in the world?
The others glanced at Immortal Jiajing subconsciously, with doubts and a hint of envy in their hearts.
This is magic, who doesn’t want to learn it?
Ji Boying, on the other hand, glanced at Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu Di and all the eager emperors, and frowned slightly at their idea of going to the Chongzhen Dynasty.
Now Ji Boying simply does not have the courage to open the purgatory-level copy of Chongzhen Time and Space.
To extend the reign of Chongzhen to five hundred years is no less difficult than using a novice kitchen knife to chop down Titan.
No, it should be harder than killing a Titan.
"The fall of the Ming Dynasty was not the fault of Chongzhen alone."
Ji Boying withdrew his gaze and gave his opinion on Chongzhen.
As the king of a subjugated country, there is no way to deny that Chongzhen and Zhu Youjian are the emperor's fault, and that Chongzhen's own abilities are too weak.
Throughout Zhu Youjian's seventeen-year career as emperor, there are indeed many things to criticize, but the reason why the Ming Dynasty fell in his hands really cannot all be attributed to Chongzhen alone.
Let’s briefly list the reasons for Chongzhen’s fall:
First, the mess left by Shenzong is too bad. After all, when people are not in court, they work overtime. Wanli really doesn't work. Only Wanli can do this kind of magical operation. Guangzong and Xizong both do it. It was just a formality, and the conflicts accumulated in the last few decades broke out during the Chongzhen period;
Second, there are constant factional disputes in the temple. Whenever there is a meeting, even if it is just to discuss where to go to build a team tomorrow, Fengtian Temple will be a fool.
Third, land annexation across the country has reached an outrageous level, especially in the wealthy areas in the south of the Yangtze River. The court has been unable to collect taxes at all. In addition, a large amount of overseas silver has been intercepted, and the influx of overseas silver has been lost. Silver hoarding has become a common practice among the people. The national finances are running deep with deficits.
4. In terms of the war situation, there is a rising rattail outside the pass, and inside the pass there is Huang Lai'er, the king of Chuang who shouts "equalize the land and exempt from taxes." There are refugees everywhere, uprisings continue, internal and external difficulties, and the country is overwhelmed. After more than ten years, the army is exhausted and the country is exhausted.
5. It was the Little Ice Age in the climate of the northern hemisphere. The seventy-year climate ice age caused a severe reduction in food production in the north during the Chongzhen Dynasty. Plague was rampant in four places. The number of refugees affected by the disaster increased rapidly. They could not afford to eat, and they all went to rebel.
Sixth, Chongzhen himself.
Seven, metaphysical Qi number.
"Of course, Chongzhen's fault cannot be evaded."
"He is the main reason."
At this point, it has to be said that if there were another emperor with decent abilities, even if the Ming Dynasty could not be preserved in the end, he could at least retreat to the south of the Yangtze River safely, draw rivers to rule, and follow the example of the Southern Song Dynasty to extend the country for more than a hundred years.
After all, history has proven that Chongzhen had many opportunities to move south, and even had the opportunity to temporarily stabilize Li Zicheng. After all, Li Zicheng never thought of destroying the Ming Dynasty at the beginning, but Chongzhen missed them all with a slap on the head.
Ji Boying withdrew his gaze.
"As for the issue of Chongzhen, our practical observation class will naturally reach corresponding progress in the future. The reason why I am teaching you today is to prevent your respective Ming Dynasties from having such tragic situations of national subjugation."
Lao Zhu took a deep breath.
Seeing with his own eyes the collapse of the Ming Dynasty that he had created, he felt somewhat overwhelmed.
At this time, Jianwen Zhu Laosi was silent for a while, looked at Lao Zhu and said.
"Father, the Immortal Master has his own arrangements. We should not be in a hurry. We will obey the Immortal Master's words in everything."
"Furthermore, what the Immortal Master said is very reasonable. What we should do most now is not to go to the Chongzhen Dynasty to cause trouble for this unscrupulous descendant, but to seriously follow the Immortal Master's teachings and lay a solid foundation for our current Ming Dynasty. Let us wait Future generations will never make the same mistake again."
The emperors of other dynasties also nodded after hearing this.
Anyway, Lao Zhu said he wanted to go, so they followed him excitedly. Zhu Di said he would wait and go, so they would wait and go. After all, in front of the two ancestors, they were all grandsons and did not have much say.
"What Chengzu said is very reasonable."
Zhang Cong, who was standing next to Immortal Jiajing, suddenly spoke in a mean-spirited manner for some unknown reason.
As soon as he finished speaking, Immortal Jiajing's expression changed. His heart was so full that he wanted to sacrifice Zhang Cong to heaven.
'What are you? When the emperors are talking, why do you interrupt? ! '
The moment the word "Cheng Zu" came out, the expressions of Old Zhu Di and Zhu Laosi turned cold for an instant.
The sword man's eyes instantly fell on Jiajing Immortal's double seat and on Jiajing's head.
"Jiajing child, when you go back after this class, immediately change my temple name back. If not, every time you come to class in the future, I will hang you up and beat you!"
"I have always kept my word."
(Zhu Quan: Do what you say you will do??)
Old Zhu Di just finished speaking.
Jianwen and Zhu Laosi stood up from the table and came to the table of Immortal Jiajing in a few steps. This sudden arrival shocked Immortal Jiajing and Zhang Cong, who said, "I don't know anything."
Zhu Laosi, who had only been in Jingnan for half a year, had a particularly murderous aura in his body. He stepped on Jiajing's chair, leaned over slightly, and looked down into the eyes of Jiajing Immortal.
"solitary."
"I'll bring a knife to class next time."
Gulu.
Jiajing Immortal blinked, swallowed, his legs were shaking a little, and then quickly turned to look at Zhang Cong beside him.
His face turned solemn in an instant and he shouted loudly.
"Zhang Fujing, it was you who insisted on asking me to change the temple name of Emperor Taizong back then. I said it was necessary over and over again, but you insisted on it! Look at the good things you did back then!"
"What are you doing in a daze?! Why don't you kneel down and apologize to Emperor Taizong, kowtow and admit your mistake!"
Zhang Cong was stunned:? ? ?
Zhang Cong, who was dug out from the grave and started working for Jiajing again, used the fastest time in the past few days to figure out what happened in the court over the years, including the fact that Jiajing changed the temple name to Emperor Taizong.
This incident happened in the 17th year of Jiajing.
Zhang Cong had already met the King of Hell as early as the 14th year of Jiajing.
The blame can also be thrown on Zhang Cong's head. The Jiajing Immortal is indeed an immortal.
'The Dog Emperor! '
I cursed in my mind.
Zhang Cong took a deep breath and recognized the reality.
This is the helplessness of a wage earner, and it is also one of the basic skills of a wage earner: the courage to take the blame for the leader.
Immediately, Old Man Zhang stood up, with a look of pain and regret on his face, knelt down and kowtowed to Zhu Laosi and Lao Zhu Di.
"My dear, I will die."
Zhu Laosi didn't even look at Zhang Cong. This little trick of substituting things with others failed to fool him. He just patted Jiajing on the shoulder with a hint of meaning.
One sentence left: Rats are juice.
Not far away, Old Zhu Di's icy eyes were also looking at Immortal Jiajing.
"Yes Yes Yes…!"
Immortal Jiajing quickly nodded weakly.
His body, which looks like a crane, cannot withstand a few beatings. The fractures he suffered last time are still not fully healed.
"Okay, regarding the topic of Chongzhen, we will suspend the class for now. We will start the corresponding discussion again when we go to the practical observation class of Chongzhen Dynasty."
Ji Boying swept across the crowd.
''I just showed you this passage to tell you the consequences of a monarch's extreme suspicion. "
"Of course, this issue belongs to the emperor."
"And the issue of ministerial privacy belongs to you ministers."
His eyes fell on these eleven important ministers.
"Next, we look at two illusions, which are another example of extreme selfishness."
As Ji Boying finished speaking.
The scene of the entire main hall changed once again.
This is another palace.
However, it is obvious that this is different from the Fengtian Palace. It is not a palace for political meetings, but an emperor's bedroom.
In the picture, a group of people are kneeling in front of His Highness. Judging from the official uniforms worn by these people, it can be judged that they are not official uniforms.
"This is Song?"
Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao stood up and approached the group of people to observe carefully. He always liked to do things that others could not think of, and he once specially studied the official uniforms of past dynasties for sudden miraculous effects.
"To be precise, it was before Song Dynasty."
Ji Boying pointed the ruler in his hand towards the palace couch, which was actually beside him.
Lying on the couch was a dying man with a pale face, and beside the couch, kneeling was a crying woman and a child in yellow clothes with disheveled hair.
"This person is Chai Rong."
Words come out.
Everyone's eyes gleamed, Chai Rong's name, they who are emperors naturally know it, and he is also one of their role models.
During those turbulent years of war, Chai Rong, a rare British leader among the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, once said boldly when Chai Rong came to the throne: I will open up the world in ten years, support the people in ten years, and bring peace in ten years!
And his path is indeed proceeding according to this ideal. In the sixth year of Chai Rong, the trend of pacifying the world has become unstoppable.
If God pretends that Chai Rong will be emperor for thirty years, there will be no Song Dynasty in the future, and the entire history of China will completely go another way.
"Then who is this person?"
Lao Zhu subconsciously stood up and stood side by side with Ji Boying.
In the illusion, everyone's position happened to be on the left side of the sick bed.
He could clearly see that in addition to the woman and child who were kneeling and crying, there was another person who was called to the couch alone. He was a majestic and heroic general, and he was also wearing armor.
"Yes, just as you thought."
Ji Boying glanced at Lao Zhu from the corner of his eye, and finally his eyes fell on the general.
…………(beginning)…………
The wind of sadness passed through the gaps in the palace and shuttled among the crowd.
The entire hall was filled with coolness.
Chai Rong, who was on the hospital bed, stared closely at Zhao Kuangyin, who was kneeling beside the bed, as if he was making a decision.
At this moment, Zhao Kuangyin's eyes were red and he bit his finger without hesitation and smeared the blood on his cheek.
"My lord, Zhao Kuangyin, wept and swore today that I will definitely assist my young master to help the great Zhou Dynasty in this life. If I have any second thoughts, I will die badly!"
After saying this, 'Bang' banged his head and kowtowed.
Tears welled up.
The blood on his cheeks condensed into bloody tears.
This is, blood crying.
Chai Rong, who was on the hospital bed, looked at Zhao Kuangyin, who was kowtowing and crying in front of the bed, and let out a long breath.
Use your last breath to speak.
"Promote Zhao Kuangyin to be the Grand Tutor of the School."
"Everyone is checking in front of the palace!"
As soon as he said this, the kneeling ministers of Hou Zhou shrank in shock.
He was inspected in front of the palace and became the supreme commander of the imperial army in the later Zhou Dynasty.
…………(end)…………
"I don't need to say more about what happens next."
After the scene was frozen, Ji Boying glanced at everyone present.
The emperor frowned, and so did the ministers.
They had only seen this scene in history books, but they didn't expect to see it with their own eyes today.
Zhao Kuangyin became the Jiedu Envoy at the age of thirty, and became the supreme commander of the Forbidden Army of the Later Zhou Dynasty at the age of thirty-two. He launched the Chenqiao Mutiny at the age of thirty-three, wore a yellow robe, and became Song Taizu in later history books.
Of course, they all know this in their hearts.
"Zhao people bully orphans and widowed mothers. They are considered heroes."
Lao Zhu's words were full of contempt for Zhao Kuangyin.
We are all the founders of the country. Lao Zhu Neng patted his chest and said: I am Huaiyou and I am the commoner of the world.
He is a serious man. He started a business with a bowl, went through life and death dangers, and finally founded the Ming Dynasty and achieved a generation of emperors.
As for Lao Zhao, Lao Zhu looks down upon stealing other people's family businesses.
Of course, only Lao Zhu is qualified to say this.
The other emperors are all descendants of the emperor. The reason why they can sit on the throne of emperor is not relying on themselves, but relying on the legacy of their ancestors.
Even Zhu Di is the same. The most important reason why he became emperor, besides Jingnan's success, is that his father is the emperor.
If Lao Zhu doesn't succeed in starting a business, no matter how hard he tries, it will all be in vain.
"I know you may say that you are civil servants and have different backgrounds from generals like Zhao Kuangyin."
Ji Boying swept through these eleven civil servants, from Liu Bowen, Yao Guangxiao, Xia Yuanji, Yang Rong, and Yang Shiqi in the early Ming Dynasty to Li Xian, Yu Qian, Li Bing, Liu Jian, Wang Yangming, and Zhang Cong in the mid-Ming Dynasty.
Among these people, only three had any personal experience in commanding troops.
Yu Qian, Li Bing, Wang Yangming.
"See you later."
The words fell again, and the surrounding scenery changed again.
After experiencing a change in the illusion, the courtiers all adapted to it this time and were not surprised. They all looked at the furnishings in the house.
And, in front of them, there was a person, lying sideways on the couch, coughing violently.
Every time he coughed, a large mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and the iron bowl placed beside the couch was completely stained red.
Upon seeing this scene, the expressions of Lao Zhu and Wang Yangming changed instantly.
Lao Zhu was worried about Queen Ma's lung disease, but Wang Yangming had experienced it personally, although it was not so serious.
"This man is wearing an imperial robe made in Han Dynasty."
Zhu Houzhao, an expert on ancient robes, stared at the person on the couch and spoke again.
"The emperor of the Han Dynasty should not have died of lung disease."
Chenghua Emperor Zhu Jianshen frowned slightly. He approached the person in front of the bed and took a closer look at his face.
"My guess is that this person should be Cao Pi, Emperor Wen of Wei."
Jiajing Immortal is wearing a green robe, stroking his beard with one hand and counting on his fingers with the other.
"I believed you, you idiot."
Zhu Houzhao glanced at Jiajing.
"Yes, it's Cao Pi."
In the holographic projection, the podium is the couch, and Ji Boying is standing next to Cao Pi.
After Ji Boying's words were settled, Immortal Jiajing suddenly became happy.
"Oh, you really guessed it right, you old bastard."
Zhu Houzhao was joking on the sidelines.
But at this moment, there were hurried footsteps, and an old man with white hair walked in with his back hunched.
…………(beginning)…………
"Zhongda, you are here."
Cao Pi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and waved to Sima Yi who entered the palace.
Seeing Cao Pi vomiting blood, Sima Yi looked horrified. He ran and crawled to the couch, knelt down and supported Cao Pi who was leaning on the couch, and looked at the blood in the iron bowl with a shocked expression.
"see that."
"I contracted a lung disease when I was seventeen years old, and it has not been cured for a long time. Now there is no cure."
Cao Pi wiped the remaining blood from the corner of his mouth with silk silk.
Sima Yi took a deep breath.
"I don't know anything about this."
He really doesn't know.
Cao Pi glanced at Sima Yi and chuckled.
"Even the late emperor didn't know, how could you possibly know."
"If the late emperor had known that my life would not last long, he would never have allowed me to succeed to the throne."
"Zhongda, do you understand now why I am so eager to conquer Wu?"
Sima Yi lowered his head and drooped his lantern eyes.
"I understand, Your Majesty wants to achieve great fame and great achievements in his lifetime."
Cao Pi put down the silk handkerchief and took a long breath.
"Zhongda, if I had listened to you earlier, maybe I wouldn't have lost this battle. Now in my life, I will only be a king of inaction."
Sima Yi paused.
"Your Majesty is attacking Wu, why don't you let me go?"
"I have always dreamed of being able to make contributions to His Majesty's battlefield."
Hearing this, Cao Pi leaned on the couch and stared at Sima Yi deeply. Then he sat up straight and gradually approached Sima Yi, his eyes just a stone's throw away.
"Zhongda, I'm here to ask you."
"If you take charge of the army, who will control you?"
One word comes out.
Sima Yi's body felt like a lightning strike, and he quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
"My minister, Sima Yi, swears that I will never take charge of an army in this life!"
Looking at Sima Yi like this, Cao Pi stared at him for a long time.
at last.
"Someone is coming,"
Cao Pi shouted sharply.
Suddenly, a person entered from outside the hall, holding an imperial edict in his hand. This imperial edict had obviously been prepared long ago.
Cao Pi glanced at the person coming and raised his hand.
"Declaration."
Before Sima Yi could react, the decree was already in force.
"Sima Yi, who has been loyal to the royal family for twenty-five years, assisted the government diligently, was wise and courageous, worked hard and endured no complaints, and was persevering. That is to say, he was awarded the post of General of Hussars, and together with General Cao Zhen and Grand Sima Cao Xiu, he jointly assisted the state affairs. I admire this... !”
The moment the edict was read out.
Cao Pi suddenly pressed down on Sima Yi's shoulders and coughed violently. Blood sprayed all over Sima Yi's old face, especially the pair of drooping lantern eyes, which were bleeding.
"Zhongda, Zhongda, Zhongda..."
"Oh my God, cough..."
"My son, my son...
…………(end)…………
As the scene came to an abrupt end, all the emperor's ministers who were watching above were stunned.
'What's behind my son? '
'Why don't you let it go? ! '
'It's the critical moment! '
Ji Boying raised his ruler, and the holographic projection was completely shut down.
"Everyone go back to their places."
One word fell.
No matter how reluctant they are, no matter how willing they are, these emperor's ministers can only return to their respective positions.
"Now, answer me a question."
"Whether what Chai Rong and Cao Pi did is right or wrong."
Ji Boying glanced at the emperor's ministers who had finished sitting down.
In many later versions, it was said that because the Sima family usurped the old Cao family's state, Sima Yi had long been under suspicion, which started with Cao Cao.
But in fact, at that time, Cao Cao, with Sima Yi's identity and status, was not qualified to be suspected by Boss Cao.
In Boss Cao's eyes, Sima Yi was at most a talent and could be kept. In the end, Boss Cao closed his eyes and Sima Yi was never reused.
But by the time of Cao Pi, Sima Yi began to completely turn around and became prosperous. Cao Pi had great trust in Sima Yi and treated him completely as a loyal minister.
As soon as he said this, all the emperor's ministers fell silent.
The entire classroom was silent for a moment, and even the sound of mosquitoes flying by the wind could be heard.
"No one answered?"
Ji Boying frowned.
"Since no one answered, I will just name them."
In an instant, the emperors' pupils shrank and they all lowered their heads.
Eyes wandering, you look at me, I look at you.
I thought to myself, Brother Biao, why aren't you here? If Brother Biao was here, there wouldn't be so much trouble.
"Well, it's just you."
"Don't look at the others, stand up and answer."
"Zhu Houcong."
Immortal Jiajing on the seat was stunned: I am here to cultivate immortality, I don't know how to answer questions...!
