Su Jing's top three words made everyone present stunned for a moment.
Needless to say, Zhu Yuanzhang himself was extremely confident.
The top three rankings were very high, but he was not satisfied.
Zhu Biao and his sons were surprised that Su Jing actually pointed out the current situation and only gave him a top three ranking.
This kind of emperor ranking thing has actually always been done by people.
But there is a basic rule, that is, the ranking of the current emperor cannot be low.
People like the founding emperor are basically ranked first.
And Lao Zhu, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was a real hero of his generation.
In the first bowl, he reached the top position of the Ninth Five. This was actually ranked among the top three by Su Jing in contemporary times.
How could this not shock them!
"Su Jing, you should tell me."
Zhu Yuanzhang also asked Su Jing.
But unlike Queen Ma's curious expression, his face was a bit unconvinced.
"What, you're not convinced?"
Su Jing saw Zhu Yuanzhang's expression and said with a smile.
In fact, he probably guessed that Lao Zhu would have this expression, because he mentioned this topic when he first met Lao Zhu.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face changed slightly and he said: "Of course he is dissatisfied. The emperor's civil and military skills were so strong back then. He drove away the Tartars and returned the territory of my Han family. Such achievements can only be ranked among the top three. I don't know how you rank."
Zhu Yuanzhang was quite smooth when he boasted about himself this time.
He was not ashamed because what he said was true.
Zhu Biao and other princes also looked at Su Jing, waiting for Su Jing to give a reason.
In their hearts, their father is the absolute number one person.
Su Jing nodded and said: "The reason why I am ranked in the top three is because there is only one emperor in my heart. He is the only one, and today I am second only to him, which is considered the second level."
Not even first gear?
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his mind was a little buzzing.
"Who is the first person?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked Su Jing, impatiently.
Su Jing said calmly: "Of course it is the first emperor of all ages, the First Emperor, who won the government."
Emperor Qin Shihuang!
Upon hearing this name, Zhu Yuanzhang was startled at first and did not refute.
Indeed, Qin Shihuang was not someone who could touch porcelain.
"Master Su, although the First Emperor Ying Zheng made outstanding achievements, the Qin Dynasty fell apart in just fifteen years. Today, it cannot be too different."
Zhu Biao said.
He also respected his father very much.
Zhu Biao has read the history of the Qin Dynasty many times in history books. It is true that strong soldiers and good generals quickly unified the land of China, and it lasted only a short time.
Later generations' evaluation also described it as "violent Qin".
Today's Ming Dynasty cannot be worse than the Qin Dynasty. At least Zhu Biao is confident that the Ming Dynasty will never die.
"Su Jing, tell me, why can't you compare today?"
When Zhu Biao opened his mouth, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally continued to ask.
Being able to become the founding emperor naturally makes him extremely confident.
Even the First Emperor Ying Zheng, he dared to rival or even surpass him.
Su Jing looked at Lao Zhu and then glanced at the other princes. She was not too surprised.
Although in the previous life's ranking of Chinese emperors, the first emperor, Ying Zheng, was basically the first person.
The subsequent rankings will be somewhat controversial.
But now, the Ming Dynasty was still when the Ming Dynasty was first established.
The understanding of history still has the limitations of feudal society.
Very normal.
Su Jing nodded slightly and said: "Okay, we are just chatting anyway, so I will tell you why the First Emperor Ying Zheng is the first emperor."
"Stop playing around and come and listen."
When Queen Ma saw Su Jing about to give a lecture, she greeted Zhu Zhen and Zhu Shu who were still distractedly playing.
They are the youngest and don't really care about these things.
Although she is not Queen Ma's biological child, Queen Ma is also a very powerful queen.
As long as it is Zhu Yuanzhang's child, no matter whether it is his own biological child or not, he will not treat him deliberately.
Zhu Zhen and Zhu Shu immediately put down what they were holding and came to the stone table.
At this time, the small courtyard seemed to have become a temporary small classroom.
"Come on, can someone please briefly tell me the history of the Qin Dynasty?"
Su Jing asked the princes: "By the way, Niu Yi, don't answer me. Let me see how your brothers are doing in history."
Su Jing has already seen Zhu Biao's knowledge reserve.
Regarding the level of Lao Zhu's other sons, Su Jing also wanted to see if they were all chicken babies.
History of the Qin Dynasty.
Su Jing raised this question, and Zhu Ping's head was a bit big.
Isn't this a lecture? Why did it suddenly turn into a question and answer session?
It was also the first time that Zhu Yuanzhang saw Su Jing teaching in front of him, so he watched silently from the side.
How is his son doing?
"Let me do it."
After a moment of silence, Zhu Fan took the initiative and said, "Mr. Su, let me tell you. If there is something wrong, please don't blame me."
"It's okay. Just say it boldly. Just correct it if you make a mistake. It's not an exam, so don't be afraid."
Su Jing said with a smile that active students should be encouraged.
Zhu Fan nodded and said: "The Qin Dynasty was a vassal state during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Later, Ying Zheng became the King of Qin. He destroyed Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan, and Qi successively, completing the great cause of unification."
"In the thirty-seventh year of the Qin Dynasty, he died of illness in Shaqiu. Hu Hai, the second emperor of Qin, came to the throne. Three years later, he hanged himself in Wangyi Palace, marking the death of Qin."
Because Su Jing wanted a simple account, what Zhu Fan said was not detailed.
When he was about to recite the words of the First Emperor, it was not impossible for him.
"very good."
Su Jing nodded, that's enough.
He continued: "So, after the First Emperor Yingzheng unified the six countries, what measures did he take that are very meaningful to future generations? Can anyone answer it?"
Su Jing asked again, her eyes naturally falling on the princes.
This time, Zhu Fan did not stand up again.
Of course, it's not that he doesn't know, it's just that he doesn't want to be too pushy.
However, apart from him, the only one who was pretty good at reading was Zhu Biao.
Although Zhu Xi is also eager to learn, he is too young after all, and his interest is in plants.
I still don’t read enough of this history book.
The pressure suddenly came to Zhu Xi and Zhu Di.
"Uh, this."
Zhu Chong also understood that he had to say something, and Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes had glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally.
"Build the Great Wall!"
After holding it in for a while, Zhu Xi finally said something.
In his memory, the only thing he could remember was building the Great Wall.
He really didn't know much about other things about the Qin Dynasty.
"anything else?"
Su Jing continued to ask.
Zhu Xi was a little dumbfounded, what else could there be?
He could only look at Zhu Fan, the third child, on the side, trying to get some hints.
"Attack the Xiongnu in the north and conquer the Baiyue in the south!"
Zhu Di suddenly said.
He was indeed not very interested in history books, but he still knew about Qin Shihuang's military achievements.
"Well, yes, it does count. There's more."
Su Jing nodded without stopping to ask.
But the second child Zhu Xi and the fourth child Zhu Di have nothing to answer at this time.
this.
The small courtyard suddenly became quiet.
"Master Su, I believe that the greatest contribution of the First Emperor should be that his writings and carriages share the same track."
Zhu Biao finally spoke, easing the awkward situation.
Zhu Xi breathed a sigh of relief, while Zhu Di lowered his head.
"good."
Su Jing nodded and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "What do you think? Uncle?"
This made Lao Zhu a little confused. Why did he still take the test on himself?
Even Queen Ma was stunned by Su Jing's sudden operation, and when she reacted, the corners of her mouth were already raised.
She looked at Lao Zhu, seeming to be very pleased with this scene.
The princes looked at their father, Zhu Yuanzhang, waiting for his answer.
"Um."
Lao Zhu subconsciously hummed, not too nervous, but said: "The most meaningful move of the First Emperor was to unify the six countries and bring the entire world under the Qin Dynasty."
As an emperor, what Lao Zhu most agrees with is the unification of the world.
The whole world is not the land of the king.
The greatest feeling between the emperor and the emperor is nothing more than this.
"Okay, since uncle talked about unification, let me talk about unification. This is precisely the point where I most agree with the First Emperor Ying Zheng."
Su Jing said slowly: "As the saying goes, the general trend of the world will break up if it stays together for a long time, and it will unite if it stays divided for a long time."
"So, why does this happen in our land? This is not the case in other places. They always maintain the division of territory into one village and one country, just like the Seven Kingdoms in the Spring and Autumn Period. Each king just Managing a small area.”
"They have not been unified into a huge dynasty. There are always frictions between each region, and wars are common. There may be a winner, but the winner cannot establish a huge dynasty like the Ming Dynasty. empire."
"Why is this, do you understand?"
As soon as Su Jing opened her mouth, she directly mentioned the land outside the Ming Dynasty.
That is to say, Kaos and Lao Zhu talked a lot about Rome and the history of Europe. At this moment, they knew that Su Jing was not talking nonsense.
The land of Europe was dotted with various small kingdoms, which were constantly at war with each other for hundreds or even thousands of years.
But it has never been unified.
Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "Of course they are too weak. How can there be so many outstanding heroes in our land of China?"
This wave of cultural confidence makes Su Jing want to call her.
Su Jing nodded and said: "Yes, uncle said a lot, but the key is the First Emperor Ying Zheng. It is precisely because of his appearance that the future generations have the foundation to unify the world."
"Ying Zheng did a very important thing, reforming the system. Does anyone know what he changed the feudal system into?"
Su Jing habitually inserted questions into her explanations.
"County system."
Zhu Fan replied.
He had been attracted by Su Jing's narration and said subconsciously.
"That's right, it's the system of counties and counties. If we trace the origins of the counties and counties in the Ming Dynasty, they are ultimately the system of counties and counties in the Qin Dynasty."
Su Jing praised him and said, "This is where the First Emperor excelled in his administration. The system of prefectures and counties is a pioneering work!"
"Master Su, students remember that the system of prefectures and counties was proposed by Qin Prime Minister Li Si. Isn't this how powerful Li Si is?"
Zhu Biao suddenly spoke, very directly and abruptly.
Upon seeing this, Queen Ma immediately said: "Niu Yi, when Mr. Su is speaking, please don't interrupt casually."
This is classroom etiquette, and Queen Ma thinks Zhu Biao is too rude.
How could you interrupt your teacher and raise questions?
"Madam, don't blame him."
Upon seeing this, Su Jing immediately said: "This is my request to him. When you are my student, you must dare to question. I am not a saint, and what I say cannot be completely correct."
"If you have any doubts, just raise them and we will solve them on the spot. The purpose of reading is not to listen to me, but to learn real knowledge."
"The so-called truth is not something that can be understood clearly, rather than holding a certain book or a certain person as a guide."
Queen Ma was quite surprised by Su Jing's words.
At the same time, it also brought a lot of surprise to Zhu Yuanzhang, and the princes did not expect that Su Jing would encourage students to question themselves.
They have never seen such a teacher and such a teaching method.
"Mr. Su's teaching and educating people are just superficial."
Queen Ma immediately apologized to Su Jing.
After listening to Su Jing's words, she did not feel that Su Jing knew too little. She only felt that Su Jing was a truly famous teacher.
How rare it is to have a teacher who doesn't care about reputation.
"I just told the truth, Madam, you don't have to do this."
Su Jing said briefly to Queen Ma, and then continued: "Okay, now Niu Yi has proposed it. This county system was proposed by Li Si, which is very good."
"First of all, I want to be sure that Niu Yi is right, but the implementation of the county system needs the guarantee of the First Emperor Ying Zheng."
"Uncle, I think you should have similar feelings. When two armies are facing each other, their advisers will give different suggestions and analyze the pros and cons. For the general, he may not be able to come up with these strategies, but the general needs to follow Choose the right one from these suggestions and implement it.”
"But until the outcome of the matter, no one knows whether this suggestion is right or wrong to implement."
"Li Si was just the one who made the suggestion, but the person who really saw through the rightness and wrongness of the suggestion was the First Emperor Ying Zheng."
Su Jing said and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.
He guessed that Zhu Yuanzhang was probably some kind of general, and he should have this kind of experience.
"Well, Su Jing, I totally agree with what you said."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Being a general requires a clear mind and decisive decision-making ability. Everything has pros and cons. If you cannot see clearly, it will only lead to failure."
Zhu Yuanzhang had led troops, and the example given by Su Jing was simply not too appropriate for him.
Now that Lao Zhu has become the emperor, this feeling is even deeper.
Regarding daimyo matters, there will always be a bunch of suggestions below, some of which are even completely opposite.
But what everyone said was reasonable. If he was not sober enough, there would be no way to start.
Su Jing smiled and said: "So, I just think Li Si, who proposed the system of counties and counties, is smart, and the first emperor, Ying Zheng, who resolutely implemented the system of counties and counties, I think he is great."
"You must know that before the Qin Dynasty, there was no system of prefectures and counties. Although Li Si proposed the system of prefectures and counties, there is no doubt that more people support the enfeoffment system."
"Without any successful cases, the First Emperor Ying Zheng seemed to have seen through everything and unswervingly implemented the county system."
"This is unmatched by any subsequent emperor."
