Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1827, Unfilial Son Zhu Youtang
Fengyang.

Since coming to Huaihe River and entering the south, the weather has also become cloudy and rainy. It was clear that the sun was shining brightly more than an hour ago, but it started to rain in a blink of an eye, mixed with a trace of autumn chill.

Liu Jin accompanied Emperor Hongzhi to Fengyang, the ancestral home of Zhu's family, where Emperor Hongzhi was going to worship his ancestor.

Liu Jin looked at the huge and luxurious acres of land in front of him, and then looked at the tomb of Zhu Shizhen, the emperor of Ming Renzu Chun written on it. Obviously, this was the imperial tomb that Zhu Yuanzhang rebuilt for his father after he became emperor.

In fact, when Zhu Shizhen was alive, wherever he was an emperor, he died of starvation. His name was also Zhu Wusi, and Zhu Yuanzhang's grandfather was Zhu Chuyi.

But it was such a truly low-level family that finally produced a Zhu emperor, with the glory of the Zhu family.

History is really full of infinite possibilities, and no one would have thought that such a family could produce an emperor.

Thinking about future generations, the Internet is full of all kinds of negative energy. I am too tired to live, so I don’t want my children to be tired, so I don’t give birth.

Some people said that it is too difficult to achieve a class leap, and they don't want their children to work like themselves when they grow up, so they don't want to have children.

Remarks like this are very popular, and the key is that they can also get praise and support from countless people.

If Zhu Yuanzhang's father, Zhu Wusi, also saw these poisonous chicken soups and chose not to give birth to Zhu Chongba until Zhu Chongba, it is estimated that there would be no such thing as the Ming Dynasty.

People of later generations, with exquisite egoism and hedonism prevailing, are increasingly lacking in responsibility and sense of responsibility, and only think about their own comfort.

In fact, the life of later generations is much, much better than that of Zhu Yuanzhang, but people always say that this is bitter and that is tiring.

It’s only been a few days since the good days, and it’s hard and tiring, and it’s not long since I’ve had enough, but I’ve gradually lost hope and the future, and I don’t even have children, so I’m doomed to have no future.

The main reason why our great nation has been able to stand for thousands of years is because we have always insisted on giving birth, attaching great importance to giving birth and inheritance, so no matter how difficult it is, we can always give birth again and again. rise and rise again.

But thinking about future generations makes people very worried about the future.

Emperor Hongzhi personally paid tribute to his ancestors, made a fortune in Fengyang, and then went straight to Nanjing.

The ancestors in Fengyang didn't mean much to Emperor Hongzhi, and it was a good way to come here to worship. He really wanted to go to Nanjing, to the Xiaoling Mausoleum in Nanjing, and personally worshiped his ancestor, Comrade Zhu Yuanzhang.

Ming Xiao Mausoleum, as the joint burial mausoleum of the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma of the Ming Dynasty, is naturally the mausoleum with the strictest care in the Ming Dynasty. It covers a large area, with green mountains and green waters, and the trees planted are already very tall.

Except for a few eunuchs guarding the tomb, no outsiders are allowed to enter the entire mausoleum at will. Only the ministers with the permission of the prince or the descendants of the old Zhu family can come in to offer sacrifices. The purpose is naturally to prevent people from disturbing Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma. rest in peace.

When Emperor Hongzhi entered the Xiaoling Mausoleum, he only brought Liu Jin, two young eunuchs, and a few guards with him, and climbed the long stairs step by step with the offerings, and finally came to the special hall for offering sacrifices.

It was also the first time for Liu and Jin to come to the Xiaoling Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty.

Among the ancient emperors, Zhu Yuanzhang was probably the smartest in arranging his own affairs.

The tombs of the emperors of all dynasties were hidden in Tibet, trying to make people wonder where they were buried, but in the end they were basically stolen, and it is estimated that even the bones were thrown away.

The Ming Dynasty was different, so the tombs of the emperors are known, and everyone knows it, so I will tell you that the location is here, and you can steal it if you have the ability.

Therefore, the tombs of the emperors in the Ming Dynasty have always been well preserved. Even in the Qing Dynasty, the tombs of the emperors have always been well maintained, and Zhu Yuanzhang's tomb has never been stolen.

A very important point is that this mausoleum is very large and has a wide range. You don't even know where Zhu Yuanzhang is buried. You can't steal it at all. The approximate location was determined by extensive exploration.

Liu Jin was lamenting Lao Zhu's tomb, but here Emperor Hongzhi began to worship respectfully.

Kneel down under Zhu Yuanzhang's tablet.

"The unfilial son Zhu Youtang pays homage to the ancestor~"

Emperor Hongzhi looked extremely solemn. Since the Ming Dynasty moved its capital to Beijing, there were very few emperors who could come back to worship Lao Zhu in person.

In the past, the emperor sent important ministers to worship the ancestors here in Xiaoling. This time, Emperor Hongzhi came to Nanjing by himself. Naturally, he had to go to sacrifice in person. Of course, the most important thing is to report to Comrade Zhu Yuanzhang. What he did during his reign as emperor.

"The unfilial sons and grandchildren should have come to worship in person early, but they are in the country and the country, so they dare not slack off, so they have not been able to come in person all the time."

"My youth was ordered, just when my Ming Dynasty was precarious, with internal and external troubles."

Then Emperor Hongzhi began to talk to Zhu Yuanzhang about what he had done as emperor for [-] years.

".To this day, our Ming Dynasty is rich and strong, and invincible in the world. It has thousands of miles of land, vast mountains and rivers, people's lives are rich, and the country is strong. Today's Ming Dynasty is just as your ancestors expected."

"All of this is thanks to the blessing of our ancestors, and the people of the world are united, so that the Ming Dynasty can have the prosperity it has today!"

Emperor Hongzhi spoke for more than an hour before he finished. In the end, he attributed the credit to his ancestors. It was the blessings of the ancestors, coupled with the hard work of the subjects all over the world, that's why everything in Daming is now possible. The emperor dared not take credit.

Of course, this is all a modest statement. It has been the case in all dynasties. The credit is the ancestors and the subjects of the world, and the emperor has only responsibility.

After speaking, Emperor Hongzhi took over a map of Daming from the hands of the young eunuch. This is a map of the whole world, and most of the areas on it are already the territory of Daming.

He burned the picture, obviously for Zhu Yuanzhang to see, to let him see that the vast territory of the Ming Dynasty far exceeds that of previous dynasties, and the descendants of the Ming Dynasty have already spread all over the four oceans and seven continents of the world.

Liu Jin watched silently from the side, the emperors of all dynasties are the most real only when they are in front of the spirit tablets of their ancestors.

In front of Li Yuan's mausoleum, Li Shimin would talk endlessly about everything about the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, in order to tell Li Yuan that he was better than his brother when he was the emperor. He was forced to kill his brother at the beginning, but I still worked hard to be a good emperor and created the prosperity of Zhenguan.

Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, would also tell about what he had done in front of Liu Bang's mausoleum, telling his ancestors that he avenged them and avenged their shame.

Zhu Di will also talk about what he did in front of his father Zhu Yuanzhang's mausoleum. I hope that his father will not blame him for robbing his nephew of the throne. Rising, hit the Onan River where Genghis Khan sealed the Khan, and killed the descendants of the Golden Family and hid in Tibet.

Since ancient times, it has been emphasized to rule the world with filial piety, and it is even more so when the emperor is in front of his ancestors. If he does not do well enough and ruins the ancestors' country, he will be ashamed to see his ancestors.

Just like Emperor Chongzhen, with disheveled hair and hanging from a tree with crooked neck, it is nothing more than seeing his ancestors without face.

Relatively speaking, the descendants of the old Zhu family still have backbone, uh, of course, apart from Zhu Qizhen, his best choice is actually to die on the battlefield instead of becoming a prisoner, so Zhu Qizhen should be The most shameless emperor to meet his ancestors.

Liu Jin thought a lot at once, thinking of the emperors of the past dynasties, and thinking of the former emperors of Lao Zhu's family.

The most powerful is undoubtedly Zhu Yuanzhang, and the trashiest must be Zhu Qizhen. Of course, the current Emperor Hongzhi is also a very remarkable emperor, taking the current situation of Ming Dynasty as an example.

Emperor Hongzhi will definitely become the most famous emperor in history, with great achievements far surpassing those of Han and Tang Dynasties, and his talents probably far surpassing those of Tang Zong and Song Zu.

But in fact, only Emperor Hongzhi himself knows best, and he is just the most ordinary emperor. At the beginning, he was almost limped by the civil officials.
