For example, Emperor Wen Jian died, which means that the biggest obstacle to the emperor's accession to the throne has been removed. Then, Zhu Can Di opened the palace, went to the Golden Hall, and became an emperor publicly?
Judy wants to be emperor. In his current thinking, he will open the palace, swagger and announce that we will finish the pole the next day. No. China's etiquette as an emperor is very complicated. He wants to be an emperor, not that he wants to be an emperor. He hopes to be recommended and elected by others. Everyone should go to the newspaper and say how virtuous and wise you are, how God cares for you, and the country can't live without you. You should become an emperor as soon as possible! Judy said I was incompetent and morally incompetent. I can't be emperor. I can't do this position. I can't refuse or give in. Everyone says no, you can't refuse, write again, kowtow and ask, but the country can't live without you, and you must be an emperor. Judy refused again. No, my ability and morality are not enough. I can't be emperor. I should wait for a wise Lord to come out and make him emperor. Everyone refused, wrote three times and left you. I have to do this. Judy said: since everyone strongly demands me, I will reluctantly obey their opinions. I want to be emperor!
In ancient China, it was called the "three concessions" ceremony, and there should be "three concessions" before becoming an emperor. In fact, I said that the most hypocritical ritual system in ancient China was this "three rites"! -Three years ago, four years ago, didn't they fight from Beijing to the south just to be emperors? The throne is just around the corner, and it has to be ceded three times. After three concessions, Judy ascended the throne of the emperor.
But before he ascended the throne of the emperor, one of his helpers went down to the palace and suddenly a man stopped the horse's head. Who is this? Yang Rong, a bachelor, said: Are you going to the throne like this? Judy said, what do you mean? Why did you forget to sacrifice Xiaoling? Judy suddenly realized: The world is Zhu Yuanzhang's world. I want to succeed to the throne. I want to be orthodox. I want to put the old emperor in front of me. I want to sacrifice Xiaoling and Heaven to show orthodoxy. Judy suddenly realized, so she went to Xiaoling to visit Zhu Yuanzhang and became emperor. These are for people all over the world. As a result of the battle of Jingnan, Judy won and ascended the throne, and his rule did not know how to end well. Judy succeeded to the throne and changed it to next year. The second year (A.D. 1403) was the first year of Yongle, and the country name was changed to "Yongle".
However, it is not enough to declare yourself legal, reasonable and legal to ascend the throne just after three abdications, but also to have the imperial edict of succession. This imperial edict of succession is very important. When I succeed to the throne, people all over the world should know what I want to do, why I am an emperor and what kind of emperor I want to be. Who will draft this imperial edict of succession? Judy found someone. Who is it? It turned out to be the person mentioned by Yao, the counselor, during the war. When he set out to attack Nanjing, Yao knew that the war was very cruel and said that you might kill many people, but after you attacked Nanjing, there was one person you couldn't kill. The prince said, who? Yao said to him, Fang Xiaoru. Why can't we kill them? This man is the seed of reading in the world. If you kill him, the seeds of reading in the world will be extinct. Now we say that he is the representative of all scholars in the world. If you want to kill him, it will break the hearts of many scholars. Moreover, the knowledge he passed down may not be inherited by others.
* Fang Xiaoru was an important thinker and writer during Hongwu and Wen Jian periods in Ming Dynasty. When I was young, I studied under Song Lian, a literary leader, thinker and philosopher in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties. Fang Xiaoru was a bachelor lecturer in Wen Jian Hanlin Academy. Although the official position is not high, whether discussing state affairs or studying for him, he is one of the indispensable ministers around his side. Fang Xiaoru, with extensive reading of poems, profound knowledge and integrity, was undoubtedly a banner among the intellectuals at that time and had a great influence.
Now, Judy is going to be enthroned, who will be invited to draft the imperial edict? It must be Fang Xiaoru, so he sent for Fang Xiaoru. Several times, Fang Xiaoru refused to go out. Finally, I had to put on my mourning clothes and come to Judy. When I saw Judy, I cried in the palace. I was very sad. Judy stood up and said, don't be so sad, sir. The purpose of my coming here is to imitate Fu Cha, the Duke of Zhou.
* In 1027 BC, Zhou Wuwang established the Western Zhou Dynasty. But only two years later, Zhou Wuwang died of illness, and his son Song Ji succeeded to the throne. This is Zhou Chengwang. At that time, Wang Cai 13 years old, young and ignorant, just after the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, the regime was still very unstable. Therefore, Zhou Gongdan, the younger brother of King Wu, is the regent, assisting King Cheng in managing state affairs, and actually acting as the son of heaven. In history, people didn't call Zhou Gongdan by his name, but only called him Duke Zhou. Duke of Zhou assisted Wang Cheng in ruling for seven years. He rebelled against the outside world, revised the rules and regulations at home, and adhered to the duties of officials, which finally consolidated the rule of the Western Zhou Dynasty. By the time Wang Cheng was 20 years old, Duke Zhou took the initiative to hand over power to Wang Cheng for management. This is the well-known "Duke of Zhou assisted to become king" in history. Later, Judy said that he would follow the historical practice of "the Duke of Zhou assisted in becoming a king". Does his statement really stand up to scrutiny? How will Fang Xiao Ru face it?
Fang Xiaoru said, where is Wang Cheng? Are you "Duke of Zhou" or "King"? No, the palace caught fire. Wang Cheng didn't know it, but it was overthrown. "Wang Cheng is here?"
Judy said, "He set himself on fire." Said he burned himself to death.
Fang Xiaoru said, "Why not be the son of the king?" His world, he can let his son, he burned to death and became the son of the king, and he doesn't need you to inherit it.
Judy replied, "The country depends on Chang Jun". Can such a big country be given to children? There should be an adult who is in charge of the country's major policies, and this country can be governed well.
Fang Xiaoru still has something to say: "Why don't you be the king's brother?" Yes, Emperor Wen Jian has a younger brother, and he is very old. With Zhu Biao's support, you can be Wang's younger brother.
The prince said here, there is nothing to say. what can I say? "This is my own business!" Say this is our Zhujiajian business, so don't interrupt. Is unreasonable.
He asked the left and right to bring a pen and paper and let him draft the imperial edict. He said, "You must draft the imperial edict." .
Fang Xiaoru took the pen and wrote four big characters: "Yan thief usurped the throne". He threw the pen away, crying and cursing, saying, "You can't write a letter when you are dead!" "
Judy is also very angry, patting the table and ringing the bell: can I let you die right away? Aren't you afraid to kill Jiuzu? "Jiuzu" means killing all relatives.
Fang Xiaoru said, "What about the ten?" How about saying that you killed ten of my families? I won't draft this letter for you!
Judy said, if you are not afraid, I will kill ten families for you! So he killed all nine families in Fang Xiaoru, merged his friends and students into one family, and killed all ten families.
Fang Xiaoru was buried outside Jubao Gate in Nanjing after his death, now outside Zhongshan Gate in Nanjing. When Fang Xiaoru died, he wrote four sentences, saying:
The sky fell from the sky, who knows why?
Treacherous court officials have to seek, seek and use the country.
Loyal ministers are angry, and blood and tears are exchanged.
With this, you can die, but what else can you ask for?
Now, maybe God doesn't bless us, and the country has changed. Now I repay the king with my blood and die. I have no other desire. Go to the execution ground Fang Xiaoru's "Ten Clans" were punished, and many people who were far away from home and had nothing to do with his "Ten Clans" were also implicated and sent into exile. His wife and two sons committed suicide. Two daughters died in Qinhuai River, and Fang Xiaoru's younger brother was caught and killed in public. His brother has four poems, and I will only say two here:
After thousands of years, the walker's soul still reaches the castle peak!
Thousands of years later, this beautiful watch still bears our heroic spirit. Let's go back here and have a look. The name of our hero will live forever. In the past, loyalty to the monarch and the imperial court was the traditional moral quality of China people. Rebellion is heinous and willing to die for the court. As mentioned earlier, they were not only loyal, but also sacrificed for Wen Jian's New Deal.
* At that time, the "new policy of building culture" was really a new atmosphere. At the beginning of his accession to the throne, Zhu Yunwen attached great importance to literati, improved the status of civil servants and greatly strengthened their role in state affairs. He was ambitious and determined to change some bad policies of the Hongwu dynasty. Under the guiding ideology of benevolence, righteousness, propriety and righteousness, he made a series of changes, mainly reducing taxes, rehabilitating unjust imprisonment, merging counties, streamlining institutions, making the official system more fixed and determined to reduce vassals. Zhu Yunwen also opened the imperial examination, trying to select talents. He changed Zhu Yuanzhang's hands-on approach, appropriately delegated power to his ministers and paid attention to their opinions, thus forming a relatively relaxed atmosphere in the imperial court, so intellectuals were willing to work for the imperial court and even sacrificed their lives.
Fang Xiaoru died for his emperor, not only because of his loyalty. Loyalty is very valuable, but it is not only because of loyalty, but also because of the lenient policy implemented by Emperor Wen Jian at that time. Tie Xuan, the minister of the Ministry of War and the master, once guarded Jinan. He used to be a minister in charge, but later he became a minister of war and added this title, still guarding Jinan. At this time, the loyalist failed and he was brought in. Tiexuan stood in front of Judy with his back to him. Judy ordered him to cut off his ears and nose, then put his nose and ears in the fire, burned them and stuffed them into his mouth, forcing him to turn around and ask him, how does the meat taste? Tie Xuan said: The meat of loyal ministers is delicious! He emphasized that loyal subjects are pure children. Finally, Judy could do nothing about him and ordered him to be executed, so he was chopped into meat paste and hacked to death. Swear to death. Zhuo Jing, assistant minister of the household department, was also arrested and killed three families. Chen Di, the minister of does, Bao Zhao, the minister of punishments, Jing Qing, Lian Ning, Ji Tai, Huang Zicheng, etc. all died tragically. But what is most distressing and puzzling is that Judy treated Wen Jian and other loyal subjects' families in a very cruel way. All these people he suppressed, men were killed and exiled, and women were sent to Huan Yi Branch of Jiao Fang Branch, where they were brutally ravaged.
There is a very famous book called Li Zhai's Leisure Record, which was written by people in the middle and late Ming Dynasty and specifically recorded the history of "Jingnan". Who has ever attracted the attention of this book? It attracted the attention of China's great writer and thinker, Mr. Lu Xun. Mr. Lu Xun said: Seeing such records, I really feel that China people are not living on the earth. What kind of records? There is a saying that in the first month of the first year of Yongle, a captain said that he brought the prisoners and the survivors of his loyal officials, bringing six prisoners and more than 500 prisoners. What should the emperor do? The emperor said, "All the people released these days are practitioners ... The Royal Guard took all these cats and tried them with the criminal department. When the next of kin was picked out, it was too late, and the distant relatives were scattered and exiled. If a distant relative doesn't tell a close relative, it's too late. " Interrogation together, the year is to pieces, a knife hacked to death. What if these people die in the teaching workshop? The emperor said, "Take it out for dogs in Shangyuan County."
No wonder Mr. Lu Xun was deeply moved. Every time he reads history and reads this passage, he feels that there are no China people on earth, and Judy has always inherited the bad tradition of Zhu Yuanzhang's brutal killing. But the question is, can he really make loyal people fear and change their ambitions through brutal killing? Or can it really cover up the truth of history? I want to know what Judy really thinks.
Judy believes that with power, all history can be changed. How to change it? When he came up, he announced the cancellation of his title. Wen Jian ascended the throne and became emperor for four years, including the first year, two years, three years, four years in Wen Jian, and four years in history. It is clearly written in history that he was emperor for four years, and these people, including Prince Judy, were all his subjects. Judy said that writing was forbidden in history, and there was no such passage. Therefore, history is written by people. People can write whatever they want. Judy said that you can't write without writing. Therefore, there is no four-year history of Wen Jian in Shi Minglu, and this title is called "Gechu". In the end, the Ming people could not mention this history. What do you say when you mention this history? Officially, it is called "the remains of the year of the messenger", "33 years", "34 years" and "35 years". In the thirty-first year of Hongwu, Emperor Hongwu died and became a monk for four years. Most people don't write thirty-five years of Hongwu, but "waste years". If you want to remember this, you must have a year number. There is a saying called "waste year". For the documents hidden in the palace, all the records about Jianwen Emperor were burned. Even those who have collected works of Fang Xiaoru at home will be put to death. Related to this, Judy's younger brother, Prince Zhu Biao, wanted to address his father as "Emperor Xingzong's Well-off Society" after Wen Jian became emperor. At this time, the title was also cancelled, and he was still called "Prince Wen Yi". Then his brother and his son were imprisoned.
* The measures taken by Emperor Chu are not harsh, but can history really be erased? The answer is of course no. Now the chronology of China's history clearly records the year number of his emperor Zhu Yunwen, which may be unexpected for Judy. Maybe Judy is not entirely sure what effect he can achieve by his own means, and he needs to take other measures to consolidate his rule. So, how will Judy take some clever "packaging" for herself? What does Mr Mao Peiqi think of such a thing?
Judy overthrew Wen Jian's rule and played the banner of restoring Zhu Yuanzhang's patriarchal clan system. Some people are happy and others are worried about the restoration of the ancestral system. Why? Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestral system was cruel. Emperor Wen Jian adopted a relatively loose policy, but in order to legalize his rule, Judy said that I would restore the ancestral system. There is another one, that is, in all the documents, he wants to vigorously promote himself as the direct son of Zhu Yuanzhang. As we all know, in the ancient patriarchal society of China, there was a great difference between the official position and the ordinary. Di, his wife is also divided into Di Shu, so his son is also divided into Di Shu. The eldest son has the right to inherit, and the illegitimate child has no right to inherit. Therefore, the eldest son and the eldest son inherit the throne, and the illegitimate child does not. He now claims that he is his own son, which means that it is legal for him to be emperor.
Then how do you show that he is your own son? This sentence should be written in history for everyone to see. There is a tradition in the Ming Dynasty that after the death of the old emperor, the new emperor succeeded to the throne. At that time, it was called "national history", which is what we now call "record". Whose record will Judy set? It is "a record of Mao". When he compiled Biography of Mao, he wrote that he was the son of Emperor Gao. The so-called high emperor is Zhu Yuanzhang, that is, Mao Gao, and posthumous title is a "high" and high emperor. This record was quickly completed under the auspices of Xie Jin, a bachelor, but after the repair, he was particularly dissatisfied and later ordered Yao to preside over the reconstruction. Therefore, in history, there is such an anecdote as "Three Records", which is called "Ming Taizu Records". What you see now is not the original appearance, but has been shaped three times. So why is it so difficult to finalize it? Where is its core controversy? Is it to promote the legitimacy of Judy as emperor?
Therefore, in the Record with three drafts and three changes, firstly, it should be shown that Judy was born to the high queen, that is, Ma Shi herself, not others. Was it invented by Ma Shi? We will say later that this is a problem. If Ma Shi was born, would you still say, I am my mother's own son, am I my mother's own son? Needless to say, there was no need to check DNA at that time, and everyone knew it, needless to say; He keeps saying that he is the biological son of Queen Gao every day, and there is something wrong with it. This is called "shattered glass". Therefore, "recording" is to cover up his real mother and his birth. The second is to explain the legitimacy of his ascension. He tampered with all the facts of his difficult period and the documents exchanged with the court, and attached them to the Records of Emperor Taizu, showing the legitimacy of his accession to the throne. Moreover, it shows that Zhu Yuanzhang had the intention to pass on his position when he was alive, suggesting. Actually, it's not true.
So when we look at history, the facts exist objectively, but the history written by people is always different from the objective reality. A truly conscientious historian pursues the ultimate historical truth, but we are always one step away from the ultimate historical truth. After three revisions, Judy saw this "record" and said, "It's a bit like me". What does this mean? Ah, that's almost it this time. I am very satisfied.
* The so-called "history" that Judy is satisfied with, in our modern eyes, it is it that covers up the real history. But as the saying goes, you can't fake it, and you can't fake it. Anyway, there is no doubt that Judy's throne was indeed taken from his nephew Zhu Yunwen. So, what kind of performance did Judy have on the throne of the emperor?
Judy's cruelty and murder are one thing, but his governance of the country and the establishment and foundation of the Ming regime system are another. We know that Zhu Yuanzhang is very diligent. He works every morning, afternoon and evening. He had a lot of notes to do, and he put them up. When he thinks of something in the middle of the night, he must write it down. Zhu Yuanzhang is very diligent, so is Judy. Because he is not lazy, he will play in the world at once, and he can't stand you leaving him idle. On the other hand, everyone says "rebel thief". You rebel minister, is he always wearing a "rebel" hat? He is also very unhappy. Because of the traditional China people, he was educated by Confucian culture, and the word "rebellion" is very disgraceful. Although he said so much, he knew it very well. Why did he say he was his own son, legal? In fact, he still feels that being a traitor is disgraceful. So how to clear the traitor's name? He can do things, he will find himself with a lot of things to do, to be an eternal king, and I will be the best emperor! On the other hand, it promoted the cause of the Ming Dynasty.
At the end of Yongle, in the twenty-second year of Yongle, at that time, the world was settled. Once Judy retires from North Korea, people around him will look at his Hanfu. Outside is a coat, inside is a Chinese coat, shirt, and that sleeve. If it is broken, he will insert it. Next to his courtier said, alas, the emperor is so simple. You are really a good emperor of Ming Sheng. Although there is suspicion of pandering, it is really telling the truth. What is Judy talking about? Judy said, "Although I wear ten new clothes every day, I have nothing. But think about it, you should cherish your blessings, so that you will make progress every time you go. " It's not that I have to wear ten new clothes every day. I think I should cherish my blessing and say that we are doing well now. We should cherish the legacy left by our ancestors today, so I wear it every time I wash it. This is very much like Zhu Yuanzhang, with the temperament of a founding emperor.
Because Judy inherited Zhu Yuanzhang's career, he also inherited some of Zhu Yuanzhang's practices and concepts, and was more concerned about people's livelihood. What does he say is his greatest ideal? Is that everyone lives and works in peace and contentment. The original words are: "The people of Sri Lanka are well-off, and I hope so." It is my wish to let everyone live a well-off life. Therefore, he set up schools, improved the academic system, rewarded farmers and mulberry, reduced taxes, and provided relief for famine, all of which were very thoughtful at that time. Judy was the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty. As we know, in the history of China, one emperor was the king who founded the country, the other was the king who conquered the country, and the rest were called the king who kept his word. The ancestors laid the world, you are the emperor, and you have a ready-made world. Hang in there and watch the stall. Judy is not, Judy. Did you say he was the founding king? He's not. But didn't you say he was the founding king? He got the world by himself. Do you say he is a king who keeps his promise? He also inherited Zhu Yuanzhang's world. Do you think he's holding on again He is not, he is pioneering, and he has achieved pioneering in many places. Judy is neither the king of the founding of the People's Republic of China nor a master of conformism. He is somewhere between founding the country and sticking to the rules. He has no leisure all his life. He wants to stay in the history books as a prosperous Ming king. He did a series of great events that shocked the world.
