'What is this guy doing? '
Ji Boying glanced at the Pig Head Fort, and then at Zhu Zaicheng who was holding back his laughter.
His expression didn't change, and he roughly guessed what was going on.
A passing thought.
Pig Head Castle quietly disappeared from his seat.
Anyway, whether Pig Head Castle listens or not, the impact on the time and space of "Orthodox-Jingtai" will be the same.
Rather than letting this guy sit here and disrupt the rhythm of the class, it is better to let him go back to find Queen Qian to solve the problem.
On the other hand, this Zhu Zaijing should be punished for disrespecting his ancestors.
No matter how disastrous the performance of Pig Head Castle was in this life, in terms of status, Zhu Qizhen was the fourth generation ancestor of Zhu Zaijing. You can look down on your ancestors, but you can't make fun of your ancestors.
After all, if we talk about a single space-time timeline.
If your ancestor's gun breaks, you are gone. Do you understand that it is gone? !
"Chou Yi."
"Tell me about the relationship between natural disasters and national subjugation."
The words fell.
Zhu Zaijing, who was still suppressing laughter in his seat, didn't realize that he was called.
'Snapped'.
Father Jiajing, who was closest to him, frowned when he saw that his son Zhu Zaijing had no reaction at all. He reached out and slapped Zhu Zaijing on the back of the head.
Zhu Zaijing was stunned, subconsciously covering his head with his right hand and looking up.
"???"
Surprisingly, he discovered that everyone's eyes were on him at this time.
At this moment, he finally noticed something. The number plate on his desk had the word "Chou Yi" on it. The person who was called out just now was himself!
Ding.
Zhu Zaijing supported the table with his hands and stood up quickly.
"This, this..."
Zhu Zaijing's mind was blank and his tone was even more stuttering.
He had never considered the relationship between natural disasters and the subjugation of the country. Even when I paid tribute back then, the cabinet had finished all the work and was just waiting for him, the emperor, to sign it and it would take effect.
As a result, he refused to sign it and sent it directly back to the cabinet, saying that you don't know anything about it, let alone consider natural disasters in various places.
"That, that..."
Zhu Zaijing groaned for a long time.
"This useless thing!"
Lao Zhu, who was sitting on the Grand Master's chair, glared at Zhu Zaijing and shouted coldly. The Emperor Longqing's legs instantly became weak due to fright. Fortunately, there was a table in front of him to support him, otherwise he would have knelt down in front of Grandpa Taizu.
"After class, copy the entire textbook. You are not allowed to go back until you finish copying."
Ji Boying glanced at Zhu Zaijing lightly.
This kid really forgot about everything except shooting. He perfectly explained the saying: Mud can't hold up a wall.
After saying this, he looked at Zhu Biao.
"Abiao, tell me."
"yes."
Abiao stood up, confident and confident, but he also had doubts about the problem in his eyes.
After taking a deep breath, he spoke.
"If a natural disaster occurs, the people will be the first to suffer. The land will not be harvested and the number of refugees will increase, which will further affect the country's tax revenue. At the same time, the government will also spend a lot of money to provide disaster relief and help the people. This way, they can only go out but not in, which seriously affects the country. financial."
"but."
Having said this, A Biao took a deep breath and then bowed to Ji Boying.
"Master Immortal, the student has something that I don't understand."
“Natural disasters occur frequently and are inevitable, but students believe that there is no inevitable connection between natural disasters and national subjugation.”
At first glance, this sentence sounds like a refutation of Ji Boying's question, but in Ji Boying's view, this is a good thing. Don't believe in any authority. Only by thinking about problems with your own thinking can you discover problems and finally achieve breakthroughs.
A Biao's voice just finished.
Lao Zhu also spoke.
"Brother, actually we feel the same way."
"Let's just say that in our Hongwu Dynasty, in the year when our country was founded, the first year of Hongwu, there was a severe drought in the world."
"And looking at the past dynasties, there has never been a year without floods or droughts. Natural disasters are really not a rare thing. How can they lead to the destruction of a country."
When Lao Zhu Di heard this, he nodded in approval.
"The same was true in my Yongle year. Severe droughts, locust plagues, and floods were all overlapping in various places, and they basically never stopped from the beginning to the end of the year."
As soon as these three words came out of their mouths.
Suddenly, the emperors on the seats became excited and chatterboxes suddenly opened up.
This group of people who originally didn't speak much in class now introduced each and every one of them vividly. They basically talked about how difficult it was for them to suffer from natural disasters and how much effort they put into dealing with them.
Especially Zhu Youtang, who kept saying that he spent a lot of effort to control floods.
Treat once and manage for three months.
However, some people couldn't help but frown while listening and discovered a problem.
For example, Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu, who was usually relatively silent in class, suddenly spoke after thinking for a moment.
"Everyone, have you noticed a problem?"
'question? '
When Lao Zhu, A Biao, Lao Zhu Di, Zhu Laosi and others heard the sound, their eyes immediately fell on Emperor Jingtai. They were stared at by more than 20 people at the same time. This time, Emperor Jingtai was confused. A little nervous.
"Gengyi."
"Don't be nervous, stand up and say it."
Ji Boying smiled slightly and cast an encouraging look at Emperor Jingtai.
Then he glanced at the classroom.
"The same goes for everyone else. If you have any questions, you must be like Geng Yi and have the courage to speak directly in class. It is best not to leave them after class, and don't keep them in your heart without asking."
"Pretending to understand something that you don't know is the most stupid thing."
Lao Zhu struck the ground with his mace and glanced at his children and grandchildren.
"Did you hear everyone?!"
Stop drinking.
Everyone has their backs straight.
"Listen clearly! (in unison)"
The standing Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu took a deep breath.
"Just now I heard everyone talking about natural disasters in various dynasties, and I suddenly discovered a pattern."
"Since the Hongwu period, the further back in time, the more frequent natural disasters have occurred, the more destructive power each natural disaster has, and the greater the disaster relief expenditures required by the court."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked startled.
Then, they quickly recalled the discussion just now, and their faces changed drastically.
No one except Zhu Qiyu noticed this detail just now.
"That's true!"
Abiao quickly reviewed the discussion about natural disasters in various time and space, took a deep breath, and looked surprised.
"Master Immortal, why is this?"
Zhu Laosi frowned. This problem seemed to him to be very serious.
"This is definitely not an accident."
Old Zhu Di also said in a serious voice, once or twice it was accidental, but this was more than ten time and space comparisons.
"As time goes by, natural disasters become more frequent and serious. Could it be that my Ming Dynasty has been cursed by God?"
Chenghua Emperor Zhu Jian thought deeply for a while and said a line that should have been spoken by the Jiajing Immortal.
Jiajing Immortal was stunned: What did I say? !
"Grandpa Huang and I have the same view."
Immortal Jiajing followed.
Lao Zhu's brows furrowed even more as he listened to the words of his children and grandchildren.
At first, he really didn't pay attention to this detail at all, but now that it sounded, he couldn't help but feel a chill on his back, and even cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
It was like there was an invisible hand pushing the entire Ming Dynasty bit by bit, bit by bit, into the abyss of eternal destruction.
Lao Zhu took a deep breath and breathed it out again.
Then, stand up.
Lao Zhu has taken so many classes and has long been accustomed to Ji Boying's rhythm.
He knew very well that every word the immortal master said on this podium must contain profound meaning, and as long as his brother spoke, there must be a solution.
"Brother, please save Daming!"
After saying this, Lao Zhu clasped his fists in salute and bowed.
Crash.
Even the Taizu was bowing, so they, the descendants of the future generations, naturally did not dare to sit down, so they all stood up and saluted Ji Boying.
"Please immortal master, save the Ming Dynasty! (in unison)"
In the center of the podium is the Grand Master's chair.
Ji Boying glanced at the group of emperors and princes who stood up and bowed to him.
He pressed his hands calmly.
"Everyone sit down."
"Try to avoid this kind of behavior in the future."
"especially you."
Ji Boying glanced at Lao Zhu and stood up and bowed frequently, which easily disrupted the rhythm of the class.
"Hey, yes, yes, brother said yes, we will never do it again in the future."
Lao Zhu smiled awkwardly and sat down without any ink.
Wow.
The rest of the people sat down neatly.
"This this…"
Because of his broken leg, Zhu Zaijing, who had just stood up after everyone else had finished bowing, felt embarrassed. Fortunately, no one paid attention to him at this moment, so he could only sit down again little by little.
"The doubts in your hearts all lie in four words."
Ji Boying spoke calmly.
'Four words? ! '
As soon as the words hit their ears, everyone suddenly held their breath and concentrated their attention to the extreme, for fear of missing any word.
then.
Ji Boying was seen getting up.
With an extremely chic posture, he turned around and picked up the pen resting on the pen holder beside the huge rice paper.
Dragons and phoenixes dance, and the pen moves on the silver hook.
After "On how natural disasters destroy a country," he wrote four more words.
These four words came into the eyes of everyone present, and doubts arose in everyone's eyes.
Even Abiao, the most knowledgeable member of the Zhu family, had never heard of this term. His eyes looking at the immortal master were full of curiosity.
Four words: "Little Ice Age".
The entire main hall was as silent as ink, and no one made a sound.
Because they all know that next is the time for the immortal master to explain, and the only thing they have to do is to listen carefully.
"All the changes you just mentioned are caused by the Little Ice Age."
"first."
"You must first have a rough idea of what the Little Ice Age is."
"To put it simply, the so-called Little Ice Age means that the temperature of the entire world changed from warm and humid to low and dry within a certain period of time."
As soon as these words came out, all the emperors and princes present were confused.
'What's the temperature? '
"Of course, the Little Ice Age and the collapse of dynasties are not completely directly linked."
"However, the emergence of the Little Ice Age was indispensable for the collapse of a dynasty."
"There's no doubt about that."
"Since the beginning of the dynasty, there have been four Little Ice Ages, and each time there has been a dynasty change."
"One of them, and the last one, was the Ming Dynasty."
The princes and emperors who were still thinking about the meaning of these words suddenly changed their expressions the moment they heard the word 'Ming Dynasty', and they all took a deep breath.
"After getting a general idea of the Little Ice Age."
"Next, let's look at the collapse of a dynasty from the perspective of the Little Ice Age."
"Look first, the scene of destruction."
Ji Boying finished speaking.
moment.
36D holographic projection turns on instantly.
The surrounding scenery changes instantly.
The light of the fire instantly caught everyone's eyes, their pupils shrank sharply, and the blazing wave of fire hit them, making everyone's breathing quicken.
"This is…"
Lao Zhu stood up subconsciously, looking at the flames around him, and couldn't help but feel frightened.
A Biao also stood up and quickly came to Lao Zhu's side.
Xiao Zhusi, Zhu Laosi, Old Zhu Di, the emperors and princes of various time and space, all looked around in astonishment, and then finally focused their eyes on the center, where the immortal master on the podium was originally.
In their eyes, there was a burly man standing in the center of the raging flames. The man was wearing a white imperial robe and a crown, surrounded by jade, and had a thick but extremely neat beard, showing his dominance. Qi.
The flames roared like ferocious beasts, approaching the man from all directions, threatening to engulf him.
And this burly man didn't care at all about the approaching flames around him. He held the scepter that symbolized royal power in his hand, and stared calmly into the distance with a pair of deep eyes that commanded the world.
He stared at his country, his capital, and his dynasty.
"Shang Wang Di Xin."
Ji Boying looked at this burly man, a man who was described by later generations as a 'tyrant', 'faint king', 'the last human emperor' and 'a heroic lord'.
The last king of the Shang Dynasty, Emperor Xin Yin Shou.
Historical records: Emperor Zhou was gifted in identifying quick diseases, was very sensitive in hearing and seeing, had extraordinary physical strength, and could handle fierce beasts with his hands.
Historical records: Emperor Zhou was huge and beautiful, a hero in the world, strong and powerful, and the enemy of a hundred people.
The image of Emperor Xin described in the history books is very consistent with the projection at this moment. The appearance of the absolutely perfect and powerful commander is quite similar to the one who twisted his waist on the spring evening in the early years.
Lao Zhu and others were all staring at this ancient emperor.
As for their views on Emperor Xin, they were naturally different from what later generations thought. As emperors, they received the most authentic historical materials, and they mostly learned from Emperor Xin's governance during his reign.
Of course, in order to use the reputation of King Zhou to instill a certain idea into the people, it is natural to add layers of crimes. The many crimes on Emperor Xin were basically piled up from generation to generation.
After Yin Shou succeeded to the throne, he was determined to change. He wanted to break the downward fortune of the Shang Dynasty and rebuild the glorious Shang Dynasty. He wanted to break the monopoly of power by the old aristocrats and select talents from the bottom in an eclectic way.
However, due to the limitations of the times, it suffered severe backlash.
When the Zhou Dynasty conquered the Shang Dynasty, Emperor Xin was listed with six crimes. Judging from the authenticity of the historical materials, there is probably no problem, because they were written by the victors, and the victors often only go to If I write it in black, I will never explain it to you.
1. Drinking and debauchery;
Second, there is no need to treat your relatives and old ministers;
Third, use a villain (not a treacherous person, but a person of low status);
Fourth, listen to women;
Five, do not believe in destiny;
Sixth, don’t focus on worshiping heaven.
Regarding Emperor Xin, he is also known as King Zhou in later generations.
Everyone agrees and everyone has their own opinion.
A great man once said: It is wrong to regard King Zhou, Qin Shihuang, and Cao Cao as bad people. In fact, King Zhou was a very capable, literary and military man. He unified the southeast and unified and consolidated Dongyi and Pingyuan, which was historically meritorious.
The sage Confucius also spoke out to rectify Emperor Xin's name.
Confucius said: It is because the gentleman is evil and lives in the lower class, and all the evil in the world will return there.
Of course, some people in later generations said that Confucius was a descendant of Emperor Xin, so he wanted to clear his ancestor's name out of conscience. Whether this matter is true or not, I will not argue.
Here, I will only briefly mention the first and last two of the six crimes against Emperor Xin after Zhou destroyed Shang.
Alcoholism and debauchery: It is clearly written in the history books that Emperor Xin only had three sons. Jichang, the Marquis of Xibo, was known as a hundred sons. There are seventeen clearly recorded.
If you don’t believe in destiny, don’t pay attention to offering sacrifices to heaven: The sacrifices of the Shang Dynasty were sacrifices to one’s own ancestors and one’s own gods. The sacrifices starting from the Zhou Dynasty were sacrifices to the heavens. Emperor Xin offered sacrifices to his ancestors but not to the heavens.
In addition, the status of women in the Shang Dynasty was not low, and there were even clear records in history books of instances of women serving as commanders in the Shang Dynasty.
Since the Zhou Dynasty, the status of women has plummeted, and they have begun to become the appendages of men.
But for the princes and princes of the Great Tomorrow at this moment.
They just wondered what the relationship between the death of Shang and the Little Ice Age was.
“The Shang and Zhou dynasties were in the first Little Ice Age after the Holocene Great Warm Period.”
……………(beginning)…………
Lutai.
The flame swallowed up everything, but it could not swallow up Yin Shou's unwillingness.
Since he came to the throne, he has expanded territory, opposed theocracy, destroyed the hereditary nobility, and promoted people from the bottom who are truly useful to the country.
But in the end, it resulted in an outcome that turned the whole world against him.
But those so-called people, under the words of the princes everywhere, still naively thought that it was themselves, the king, who made them hungry.
Never thought about this day.
The Huan River flows three times a day; when it reaches the Yin and Zhou Dynasties, the three rivers dry up; the Gu Mountain collapses and the Boluo River dries up.
"The thief wants to destroy the solitary merchant."
"Gu, I only hate that my power cannot destroy the sky and kill the gods."
He raised his head slightly and stared at the sky. Yin Shou smiled, laughed, and laughed wildly.
"What a lonely businessman!"
"The lonely businessman."
"Dashang..."
"Dead."
Yin Shou took one last look at the scepter in his hand and threw it into the sea of fire.
The next moment, flames engulfed everything.
……………(end)…………
The picture freezes.
Ji Boying glanced at the group of frowning emperors and princes.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were still on Di Xin, who had just been swallowed up by the flames.
"Someone tell me."
"Shang, why did you die?"
"How does this relate to the Little Ice Age?"
