Can you live forever

Chapter 220 Xiaoling Stone Stele, Three Generations of Blood and Tears

The reform is not to treat guests to dinner, but to move the cake.

Jiajing did not expect to change everything peacefully, nor did he expect that there would be no struggle and bloodshed. Returning power to the people and imparting legal principles to the people is digging at the roots of the gentry.

The gentry will definitely use brutal means to suppress.

However, how many gentry are there, and how many people are there?When they completely angered the people, they knew that although Daming had no street lights, it had crooked neck trees.

The gentry did not hang the emperor, the emperor and the common people will hang them.

……

In Xiaoling, the general sacrifices are only in Xiangdian, because after that, it is the dividing line between Yin and Yang, and it is not auspicious to cross it, but Jiajing did not listen to dissuasion, and took Zhang Zhixiang through Hongmen and entered the "Yin" .

Cross the Shengxian Bridge, pass through the Ming Tower, and come to Baoding.

The mountain in front of me is where Zhu Yuanzhang was buried, and the real mausoleum is in the mountain.

"Your Majesty is going to the underground palace?"

"No, go up the mountain and have a look. I heard that there is a monument on the mountain."

There is a small path up Baoding Mountain, which is built with stone steps. The two of them climbed the mountain quietly. There are sika deer running through the forest from time to time, and the mountain is full of pine forests.

When the two climbed to the top, they did see a stone tablet.

The stele was not big, and it was old. The base in front of the stele was also full of pine needles and fallen leaves. When Jiajing saw it, he broke a branch from the side and began to sweep the fallen leaves. Zhang Zhixiang also put down the food box to help.

After the cleaning is completed, the sacrifices are placed and the sacrificial wine is poured.

Then I looked at the inscription carefully.

There are three characters on the stele, the one in the middle is written by Zhu Yuanzhang himself in the 28th year of Hongwu, the one on the left is written by Zhu Di in the 18th year of Yongle, and the one on the right is written by Zhu Zhanji in the [-]th year of Xuande.

It's not that the subsequent emperors didn't write it, but that none of the subsequent emperors could come to Xiaoling to worship at all.

Zhu Houzhao may have wanted to worship, but when he arrived in Nanjing, he fell into the water once before his butt was hot, and was forcibly sent back to the capital. He fell into the water again on the way and became "ill".

Historically, the Jiajing Southern Tour also wanted to come.

But after all, he didn't cross the Yangtze River, so he could only go to Xianling to worship his father, King Xingxian.

now.

Jiajing, however, stood in Xiaoling Mausoleum, in front of the stele inscribed by three generations of emperors, finally changed history, and finally saw the truth of Daming.

In the 28th year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang wrote: "There are 63 families of the founding of the country, and several of them died because of being involved in a major case and being lured by the gentry. There are eleven families who are honest, loyal to me, and able to sympathize with farmers. , was subjected to insidious means, and the descendants were cut off, and it was my fault that I could not protect them."

"Of course."

"In the 25th year of Hongwu, the prince died, and in the 28th year of Hongwu, the king of Qin died."

"Lu Ben is theirs, and the Crown Princess Lu's is naturally theirs. They want Yun Wen to be the emperor, and they want my old Zhu family to follow in the footsteps of the old Zhao family... I will not let them do so. "

"Mother-in-law."

"I'll accompany you when I avenge Biao'er."

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's message, both Zhang Zhixiang and Jiajing were silent. Sure enough, only Zhu Biao was the son of the old farmer Zhu Chongba, and the other princes were all sons of Zhu Yuanzhang, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Zhixiang said with emotion: "Emperor Hongwu has been decisive in killing all his life, but he couldn't bear to kill Zhu Yunqi after all."

Jiajing sighed: "After all, he is the son of Prince Yiwen. Jianwen only needs to imitate Prince Yiwen so that Taizu can see some shadows in him. After all, Taizu is old and there is no way to kill him. And they know If Taizu didn't dare to do anything, he would be unscrupulous."

"In the 30 years of Hongwu, the North and South List case was their temptation."

"In an imperial examination, none of the northerners were admitted, and all the southerners were admitted. It is extremely absurd. But it is such a big case, but the Taizu can only send the main criminal Liu Sanwu to the northwest. Instead, the whistleblower Zhang Xin was executed by Ling Chi."

"Is this Taizu's handwriting?"

"Obviously, since the Sapphire case, Taizu has not been able to lift a knife anymore."

"Civilian officials are pressing every step of the way, so why don't military generals worry?"

"Although Zhu Xiongying, the eldest son of Prince Yiwen, died, Zhu Yunxie, born to the concubine Chang's family, is the new eldest grandson. The civil servants should support the little emperor, and the generals should also support the little emperor."

"What can Taizu do?"

"The five sons of Empress Xiaoci Gao, Ma's family, and King Jin, King Yan, and King Zhou are still alive. How can there be any reason to pass on grandchildren but not offspring? What's more, King Yan is like Taizu, who is good at fighting."

"It has always been said that the Taizu started the Sapphire case for Jianwen, but it is actually wrong."

"If Taizu really wants to pass on the throne to his grandson, he can just pass it on to Zhu Yunxie directly. Lan Yu and the others have 1 support, but this also means that the new little emperor can no longer control the government."

"The purpose of dealing with the generals in the Lanyu case is to clear the way for King Yan."

"It's just unexpected."

"In order to prevent Taizu from passing on the throne to King Yan, those civil servants actually carried out such a careless regicide coup, and Jianwen didn't know any emperor skills, and he was willing to be a puppet of civil officials, which chilled the general's heart."

"The so-called Jing Nan."

"Where is the royal family seizing power, in essence, it is a dispute between civil servants and military generals."

"This dispute has continued to Tumubao. The civil servants have completely won, and the nobles have since lost power."

As the son of Ming Dynasty, Jiajing naturally saw some things more thoroughly. The more he saw clearly, the more he knew how difficult the enemies the Ming royal family had been facing all along.

I also have a little more sympathy for Yingzong.

Because, when he and Yingzong came to power, they faced the same situation. The empress dowager oppressed them, and they were all young heroes, subjugating the imperial court. However, Zhu Qizhen was defeated, and he had not yet.

He has a national teacher, but Yingzong does not. This is the biggest difference.

"It's no wonder Yingzong will be defeated. After all, even Chengzu escaped." Zhang Zhixiang looked at Zhu Di's message on the left, and couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Zhu Di left a message in the 18th year of Yongle, and that was the year when the capital was moved to the Ming Dynasty. He could no longer stay in Yingtian, but moved to the capital with the entire court, and used the force of the frontier army to ensure his rule.

Zhu Di wrote: "The Beijing camp is corrupt, the gentry has changed, and there is a worry of using the name of the Japanese pirates to ruin the capital and mess up the government. The children are not filial, so the only way to move the capital to the capital is to revitalize the court."

"Zheng He's voyages to the West have already found clues."

"My enemy of the Ming Dynasty is not only the gentry, but also an organization that has been deeply buried and probably lasted for 2000 years... The rise and fall of the past dynasties have their shadows."

"If we don't get rid of them, I'm afraid I will repeat the same mistakes."

"Father is the spirit in heaven, bless the child."

Seeing Zhu Di's words, Zhang Zhixiang understood that Zhu Di had already noticed Mojiao, and Zhu Di had passed on this secret, but judging by Jiajing's expression, it must have been lost.

Because, in the eighth year of Xuande, Zhu Zhanji's words have already explained the problem.

"In the first year of Hongxi, lost Annan."

"In the second year of Xuande, the Southern Expedition failed, Annan was lost and Nanyang was half lost."

"Xuande five years, and then sailed to the West, the eunuch Sanbao wants to regain the sea power."

"In the eighth year of Xuande, Zheng He was murdered, the Xuanwei Division of the old port was lost, and the fleet was attacked. Wang Jinghong returned to Nanjing with the remnants of his troops. The unworthy descendant Zhu Zhanji lost his sea power and was defeated by his opponent. He is ashamed of his ancestors!"

The repressed pain and despair can be revealed between the lines.

obviously.

Zhu Zhanji understood what losing the sea power meant to Ming... However, Zhu Zhanji was helpless. In the tenth year of Xuande, Ming Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji died at the age of 38.

The officials paid homage to the crown prince Zhu Qizhen in the Wenhua Hall. Yingzong was eight years old at the time.

The main country is suspicious.
