"Not bad, are there any more?"
Taizu Sheng looked into the distance. Although there was some approval on his face, it seemed that he was still not very satisfied with Meng Yuan's answer.
This question made all the audience in front of the screen stunned.
Any more?
It should be... gone, right?
Drive out the barbarians, rebuild China, establish principles and discipline, and save the people. This is already recognized as Sheng Taizu's greatest achievement. Is it possible to force a third point?
In fact, most people can see that Sheng Taizu is not the kind of person who is overly complacent about his own achievements.
On the contrary, he is not very interested in his well-known achievements. Instead, he hopes that other things he has done will be seen by others.
Meng Yuan was not stumped. He paused for a moment and continued: "The third thing that juniors admire most about seniors is: never change your original intention and perseverance!"
As soon as this statement came out, the audience in front of the screen was a little confused.
Because the gap between this third point and the first two points is really too big. It is not on the same level at all, and it cannot even be said to be a merit.
What's there to say?
"I thought the third point would have some shocking words, is this it?"
"Remaining true to your original intention and persevering despite perseverance? What is this? This should be regarded as a necessary condition for successful people, right?"
"Yes, compared to the first two points, this third point is a bit lacking in weight, and it is suspected of being an exaggeration."
"I also think there's no need to force three points!"
Taizu Sheng was a little surprised and asked with an expression of approval: "Why do you admire this the most?"
Meng Yuan raised his head and looked into the distance, and the thoughts of all the viewers seemed to be flowing into the distance along with the long river of time.
"When Taizu was seventeen years old, there was a drought, locusts, and a great famine. His parents and brothers died one after another, and they were too poor to be buried.
"At the beginning, Hou came from the emperor's army. He was very sorry at the time of the year. The emperor was suspicious of Peng, so he had no food. Hou stole the cooking cakes and used them to eat, but the meat was burnt.
"Later he fell ill. The ministers asked for prayers and a good doctor. Later he said to the emperor: 'Death and life are all matters of life, so what's the use of praying? And how can a doctor bring life to life! If the medicine is ineffective, there is no need to blame the concubine for it. Do you want to be cured?' The illness was urgent, and the emperor asked what he wanted to say. He said: 'I hope that your majesty will seek virtuous people and accept advice, and be cautious until the end, so that all your descendants will be virtuous, and your subjects will get everything they need.' He died in Bingxu of the month, at the age of fifty-one. The emperor was in mourning. He cried, and then he did not stand up again.
"At the end of the leap month and Gui Dynasty, the emperor's illness became serious. Yiyou died in the West Palace at the age of seventy-one. The posthumous edict said: 'I bear the destiny of thirty-one years, worry about dangers and work hard, and work hard every day to benefit the people.' It is humble and does not have the profound knowledge of the ancients. It is not as far as to like good and evil. Now we have understood the natural principles of all things, and it has the thoughts of ridicule and sorrow. ... No gold or jade should be used in funeral rituals. For this reason, the mountains and rivers of Xiaoling Mausoleum should not be used. Change it to this. All the subjects in the world will weep for three days, and they will all surrender. There is no need to marry.'"
When Meng Yuan said these four paragraphs, he paused slightly in each paragraph.
After saying these words, most of the audience in front of the screen were confused.
Many questions also floated on the barrage of many video websites.
"What's the meaning?"
"I don't understand. Can you speak plainly?"
"It seems to be the original text in the history books?"
It is normal to not understand. After all, what Meng Yuan said was the original text in the history books, which is ancient Chinese. It is difficult for those who have not read it to guess the meaning.
Even those who have read the original text have no reaction for a while, because these are records from four different periods.
However, there were many talented people in the audience, and soon someone found the original texts of these four historical passages and guessed the intention of Meng Yuan's words.
"I understand, these four paragraphs seem to talk about four things, namely the tragedy of Sheng Taizu's youth, the Queen's gift of cooking cakes to him when Sheng Taizu was young, the Queen's death from illness, and the edict when Sheng Taizu died!"
"Then what does this have to do with the 'remain true to the original intention' mentioned before?"
Sheng Taizu did not respond, but his expression became more complicated.
Obviously, for Sheng Taizu, when he heard Meng Yuan's words, there were some changes in his heart.
Because what Meng Yuan said contained too much information!
It was impossible for Taizu Sheng to know what was recorded about him in the history books of later generations.
But Meng Yuan’s words clearly come from history books!
There is a saying called "the final conclusion". What kind of record an emperor finally leaves in the history books is always the most important thing.
The words the queen once said to him before her death are still in his ears. Although some of the words have changed in the history books, they still make Sheng Taizu feel so real;
As for the edict, Taizu Sheng had never considered the specific wording at this time, but after hearing Meng Yuan's words, Taizu Sheng was sure that this was indeed the edict he would issue.
This complex emotion stunned Taizu Sheng, so much so that he temporarily lost his expression.
Meng Yuan calmed down his emotions and continued: "She is a queen, but she was also an ordinary woman. Even in the extreme situation where her husband was imprisoned and could be killed at any time, she still stayed with her. Don’t give up and give bread to your husband even if you get burned.
"After becoming rich and powerful, she always maintained a simple style, neither arrogant nor extravagant, and worked hard to save everyone she knew or didn't know.
"Don't call for a doctor after you are seriously ill, because you know that doctors can only cure illnesses, not lives, and you don't want to implicate innocent people because of your own death.
"At the last moment of her life, she just told her husband to accept advice and be prudent, and then she passed away with a smile on her face.
"And her husband, after experiencing countless sufferings, his heart has long been as hard as iron stone, but at this time, he can only cry endlessly!
"Because looking back on his life, the queen was the anchor in his heart and the scabbard that could put away this sharp sword. From then on, he no longer lived for anyone, only for the common people in the world!
“A widower, a widower, an orphan, alone, he lost his father in his early years, his wife in his middle age, and his son in his later years. Even after becoming an emperor, his life was full of anger, sadness and doubt.
"The childhood experience of 'parents and brothers died one after another and poverty was too much to bear' was just a microcosm of his life's sufferings. Fate had always given him only pain and not much warmth at all.
"When he was a boy, he used a broken bowl to take over China, which was riddled with holes and crumbling in the wind and rain; but when he died, he expanded the land thousands of miles away, leaving behind a powerful dynasty where the people lived in peace and the foreigners were convinced!
"However, in his last edict, he did not talk about his achievements, but only expressed his sincerity.
"He said: I work hard day and night just to benefit the people;
"He said: I came from a humble background, and my talent and knowledge are far inferior to those of the sages;
"He said: Death is the principle of all things. Don't disturb the people because of my death. Don't use gold and silver vessels for funeral sacrifices. The landscape of Xiaoling Mausoleum should remain as it is and should not be changed. All the people of the world, after three days of mourning, All take off their mourning clothes so as not to affect the marriage.
"He and the Queen met in the turbulent and troubled times, and went through countless ups and downs hand in hand, and stayed together until the glorious era they created with their own hands.
"From the beginning to the end, he never forgot that he was the son of a farmer or his responsibilities as an emperor. He was as diligent as a model worker and wished he could solve all problems once and for all in his lifetime.
"Perhaps many of the things he did were in vain, and he even made some mistakes, but no one can deny that he accomplished an almost impossible feat with his own hands alone. Until the last moment of his life, he never forgot his original intention and There is never any let up!
“Therefore, when Heaven is about to entrust a person with a great responsibility, he must first strain his mind and will, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, deplete his body, and mess up his actions, so tempting his mind and forbearance will benefit him beyond his ability.
"Every head of state, who is appointed by the heavens and the scenery, speaks with great concern. His achievements will be undermined by his virtues. Those who have a good beginning will be successful, and those who can conquer the end will overwhelm the few. How can it be that it is easy to obtain but difficult to maintain? The blame is not great. , but you should be afraid of people; if you are carrying a boat and capsizes it, you should be very cautious. If you are running in a car and the rope is rotten, how can you be careless?
“No matter what kind of setbacks you encounter, you will never be defeated, no matter how much wealth you have, you will always practice frugality, and even if you become an emperor, you will never forget the sufferings of the people!
“There are many people who can grit their teeth and bear the suffering, but there are very few people who can remember the suffering after becoming wealthy.
"So, the younger generation believes that 'expelling the barbarians, restoring China; setting up the principles and discipline, and rescuing the people' are achievements that can be passed down for generations. But in the younger generation's view, a person can truly achieve 'the original intention is not changed and the people are persevered' , is also the most admirable thing!”
Different from the impassionedness of the first two points, when Meng Yuan made the last point, he deliberately lowered his tone and emotion, but his appeal was not reduced at all.
Because of this sincerity, it resonated even more with the audience!
On the video website, comments from many viewers quickly filled the screen.
"That's so good! I almost want to cry!"
"Hey, Taizu Sheng's life was indeed not easy. If we only looked at his achievements, most people would regard his life as a great novel. But if he were an ordinary person, his suffering would have crushed him. There would be no talk of rebuilding China. ?”
"It is true that there are many heroes in Chinese history, but people like His Majesty who can never forget their original intentions from beginning to end are indeed rare!"
"The queen of Sheng Taizu is undoubtedly ranked in the top three among the virtuous queens of the ages. She is simply 360 degrees of truth, kindness and beauty. Oh, the love between husband and wife is really a good story. It is a pity that she died too early, otherwise The entire history of the Dasheng Dynasty may be rewritten.”
"In fact, Taizu Sheng's crazy killing of corrupt officials later was probably a sign of not forgetting his original intention. After all, he never forgot the pain of his childhood, so naturally he will never forget his hatred for corrupt officials!"
"Expel the barbarians and restore China; establish principles and disciplines to help the people; never change your original intention and persevere! This evaluation is indeed appropriate!"
When Meng Yuan said that the third point was "the original intention will not change and the perseverance will persist", many viewers were confused and thought that this was not a meritorious achievement and was suspected of making up the numbers. However, it was not until now that they realized that this was not Make up the numbers.
Sheng Taizu, who "expelled the Hulu and restored China", is more like a cold statue, aloof but difficult to touch;
Sheng Taizu, who "established principles and disciplines and helped the people", transformed from a god to a wise king. He was at the height of the temple, but he still did not forget the sufferings of the people;
It was only then that Sheng Taizu, who "did not change his original intention and never gave up", truly transformed from a statue of a god into a living person of flesh and blood!
If you only look at the achievements of Sheng Taizu, your evaluation of him can easily go to two extremes.
Sheng Taizu indeed made great achievements that were almost impossible to accomplish, but it was not without any mistakes.
It is certainly wrong to deliberately exaggerate his mistakes and distort his intentions, but it is naturally biased to deliberately deify him.
After Meng Yuan evaluated Sheng Taizu's two major achievements, the third point fell on his characteristics as a human being, and this characteristic covered both Sheng Taizu's achievements and some of the weaknesses in Sheng Taizu's character.
Some people say that some of the systems established by Sheng Taizu were out of date and were not successful; others say that Sheng Taizu was murderous and cruel, and the rules he set for officials were too strict and unrealistic.
Some people even asked: "There are so many corrupt officials in the world, why should we kill them all?"
And Taizu Sheng's answer was: How could you know that they couldn't kill them all?
He is like a fully drawn bowstring. Once the bow is drawn, there is no turning back!
If we look at it from the perspective of transcending the times, some of Sheng Taizu's systems did fail because they did not achieve his goals. However, no one in this world has ever truly surpassed all the history of the past and present.
Therefore, it is difficult to say whether it is right or wrong.
There is only one thing that is unquestionable, that is, Taizu Sheng is always the same Taizu Sheng, he has never changed!
He is a stubborn person who stubbornly sticks to his own path. No matter what kind of resistance he encounters, he will overcome obstacles and move forward indomitably!
No matter right or wrong, no matter easy or difficult, there is no choice but to die!
…
After Meng Yuan said this third point, the camera turned and the new game screen was connected again.
In the performance of "beggar identity", Lu Heng was homeless and suffered a lot.
Especially in one scene, he said to other beggars in a ruined temple that if an emperor could enact a law that allowed righteous men to send corrupt officials, local tyrants and evil gentry to the capital, anyone who dared to stop them would be punished by the Yi tribe. good.
At that time, the other beggars in the ruined temple laughed and regarded it as a joke.
But when the camera turned, decades later, an old farmer named Chen actually went to the palace to complain to Taizu Sheng with a law book on his head.
After Sheng Taizu found out the truth, his reply was: The relevant officials will be executed without mercy!
In addition, there are some scenes that have not appeared in the game.
For example, the death of the queen and the prince made this iron-hearted old man cry and mourn endlessly.
Beggar and emperor, the two identities are constantly intertwined back and forth, making all the audience understand something.
Even though decades later, Sheng Taizu was already very old, he was still the son of a tenant farmer who had no enough to eat and herded cattle for the landlord. He had never changed!
…
An expression of relief appeared on Taizu Sheng's face.
Obviously, these three comments from Meng Yuan made him very satisfied!
If Meng Yuan was only praising Sheng Taizu's achievements in re-creating China, then Sheng Taizu would only think that he was no different from some mediocre ministers who could only sing praises, and he would not be moved at all.
Even in the history books, the evaluation of Sheng Taizu is that "the emperor gave wisdom and courage, unified Fang Xia, and Weiwu scriptures, which were unmatched by the wise kings of the past dynasties", mainly mentioning his achievements.
But Meng Yuan did not limit himself to this. His last words really touched Taizu Sheng's heart.
The queen is the anchor in his heart and the sheath of this sword.
Throughout his life, he overcame obstacles and moved forward indomitably. He had made achievements and made mistakes, but all of this was just because he was Sheng Taizu, because his original intention remained unchanged and he was unyielding!
After getting such an answer, Sheng Taizu was already satisfied.
He looked at Meng Yuan again: "I never thought that hundreds of years later, I would still have many close friends like you. What a great blessing in life!
"We are satisfied. All the hard work in life has not been in vain.
"We have one last wish. Can you show us what China will look like hundreds of years from now?
"Some people say that according to the standards of past dynasties, it was an amazing prosperous age, and even not having enough to eat would become a new thing worth mentioning. Is this true?
"We know that the secret cannot be revealed, and we don't want to ask for it. We just want to catch a glimpse, and that's enough."
Meng Yuan nodded and raised his hand: "Senior, please look!"
…
Everything around him changed instantly.
The scene hundreds of years later appeared in front of Sheng Taizu.
On the magnificent river, a cross-sea bridge spans the north and south, and countless vehicles speed past it.
That is a bridge flying from north to south, and the natural chasm becomes a thoroughfare.
Huge dams rise from the ground, and the river flows with a crash like thunder.
That's where Gaoxia comes out of Pinghu.
In skyscrapers, ordinary alleys, and huge cities, many modern young people are either showing off and laughing, or walking in a hurry, but everyone's face is filled with a special kind of confidence.
That was an expression that only appeared on the faces of some special people on rare occasions during the thousands of years of history that preceded China.
Everyone is like a dragon.
…
This piece of content is not very long, nor is it a precious video material.
For the audience sitting in front of the screen at this time, this has long been a familiar scene.
If you saw it in other videos, you might immediately click the cross to close it.
But when placed in a movie and in front of Sheng Taizu, these scenes have a lot of special meaning that is difficult to describe.
Taizu Sheng stared blankly at the scene in front of him, seemingly fascinated.
Many viewers couldn't help but guess that if Sheng Taizu was asked to trade his magnificent life for a stable and happy life for ordinary people in modern society, would he change it?
Of course, only Sheng Taizu himself knows this answer.
The surrounding scenes disappeared, and the camera's perspective returned to the hillside of Woodlands Tula Mountain.
Taizu Sheng closed his eyes slightly, and after a long time, he said with emotion: "Thank you very much. We finally... have no regrets."
When he opened his eyes again, there was only the heroic spirit in his eyes.
In the distance, the Northern Barbarian army was about to move.
The Dasheng Dynasty's expeditionary force was also moving towards Woodlands Tula Mountain.
Taizu Sheng looked at Meng Yuan: "Young man, we are going to fight these barbarians for the last time."
Obviously, he has no regrets in his heart.
Riding his horse and whipping his whip, Taizu Sheng rode alone under the setting sun and joined the expeditionary army of the Dasheng Dynasty.
Only his voice was left as a voice-over, ringing in the ears of all viewers.
“I, this Huaiyou civilian!
"However, the world's wars have risen, and people's hearts have rebelled, causing the people of China to have their livers and brains smashed to pieces, and the flesh and blood of the living torn apart!
"I respectfully accept the destiny and don't dare to be self-satisfied, so I lead the heroes to the north to drive away the barbarians, save the people from ruin, and restore the majesty of China!"
"Those who return to me will live forever in China; those who carry me behind will flee beyond the Great Wall!"
At this point, Sheng Taizu's voice paused slightly: "In this life...
"With a clear conscience."
Taizu Sheng gradually went away.
He is like a lonely old man, leaving only an insignificant figure in the long river of history.
But behind him is a prosperous dynasty!
Many viewers in front of the screen fell into silence.
People like Chu Ge who know something about history clearly know that after the death of his favorite queen, Sheng Taizu would have to spend more than ten years alone with almost no rest.
Within eight days, Sheng Taizu reviewed and approved a total of 1,660 memorials and letters from internal and external officials, and handled 3,391 state affairs. On average, he reviewed more than 200 memorials and letters every day, and handled more than 400 state affairs. pieces.
The utmost diligence is evident.
In the last few years of his life, his beloved prince died of cold, and fate dealt a final painful blow to this elderly man.
However, this old man is still as he said, stubborn and stubborn, fighting against the cruel fate and never changed!
…
At the end of the movie, there is a scene where Sheng Taizu, played by Zhao Haiping, goes on a personal expedition and has a final decisive battle with the Northern Barbarians against the Woodlands Tula Mountain.
After trekking a long way to Mobei, Sheng Taizu apparently had the same hesitation as Zhao Haiping about whether to break into the Northern Barbarians' ambush circle.
However, with different identities standing behind him, he finally made up his mind.
A hearty battle brings the movie to its final conclusion.
The elite cavalry of Sheng's army flew past Sheng Taizu and continued to pursue the remaining Northern Barbarian cavalry like wind and clouds.
The sun has set in the west, and the setting sun is like blood.
In the chaotic battlefield, Sheng Taizu looked at the setting sun in the distance.
All the audiences in front of the screen seemed to have spanned hundreds of years, uniting distant souls through the culture and inheritance of a nation and a civilization!
