The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 684: Emperor Zhang of the Qing Dynasty, Aisin-Gioro Fulin

{Will a hot woman show up?}

{Xiaozhuang was the empress dowager, not the emperor. Does it matter whether she showed up or not?}
{Didn’t Xiao Chuo also say that?}
{How can they be the same? Looking back at history, there is no other empress dowager who is as good at fighting as Xiao Chuo.}
{Fuhao?}

{That's the fucking queen!}

{If her son succeeds to the throne, she will be the queen mother.}
{Sorry, the successor Zu Geng has nothing to do with Fu Hao.}
{The son of Wu Ding and Fu Hao was Zuji, also known as Xiaoji, who created the Houmuwu Ding.}
{The historical book "Emperors' Chronicles" records that he was exiled to death because of his stepmother's frame-up, but in October 1991, an archaeological team unearthed 10 oracle bones and animal bones at Yinxu, of which 1583 oracle bones recorded more than 689 divination contents. These oracle bones reveal Zuji's life.}
{According to the records on oracle bones, Xiao Ji had to learn the compulsory courses for nobles such as horse riding, archery, dance and music, and also presided over sacrifices, cared about agricultural production, and led the army to war. He was very filial to his father Wu Ding. He not only planned travel routes for his father, but also expressed his concern when his father had nightmares. Wu Ding was also very concerned about his son's growth and often went to school to watch his performances. }
{During his reign, he not only held important power, but also often accompanied his parents and handled state affairs. He was a beloved prince. He once used 105 cows for sacrifice, which was enough to prove his high status. More than "sons" of the same period had to obey him, which shows how powerful he was. }
{But the prince was seriously ill, and many divination records show that he had inquired about his condition many times. He eventually died young, at the age of no more than thirty.}
{This discovery also overturned the claim that he was framed to death by his stepmother, adding a layer of truth to history.}
{…Didn’t you say Xiaozhuang? Where did she go?}

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
Liu Che yawned.

He rubbed his eyes and muttered.

"What a mess."

Wei Zifu glanced at it for a few seconds and whispered:

"This prince is quite favored, but he has a bad fate."

Liu Che paused, turned his head and said:

"Yes, just like Zhu Biao."

"Don't mention it, some of Wu Ding's experiences are quite similar to Zhu Yuanzhang's."

"A loving couple, a kind father and a filial son."

"Then I lost my wife and my son..."

As he was talking, Liu Che stopped talking.

Weiyang Palace fell into an awkward silence.

Taichang Temple.

A madman in a wide robe and big sleeves was writing furiously.

"No! Don't stop!"

He saw a word in the sky, and he shouted loudly and quickened his movements.

The ink marks on the bamboo slips became increasingly blurred and could no longer form any characters.

The young child nearby was biting his fingers and watching curiously.

Until the word in the sky was turned over, the man was still working hard, writing the record based on his memory.

"Father?"

The young child looked at his father.

The man looked at the bamboo slips, the writing of which only he could decipher, and said to the child beside him:

"Qian'er, you must remember that my family is the historian of the Zhou Dynasty. We once made great achievements in the Yu and Xia dynasties and were in charge of the affairs of the celestial officials, which has continued to exist in later generations."

The man looked up at the sky with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

"I traveled southward along the Yangtze and Huai Rivers, went up to Kuaiji, explored the Yu Cave, looked into Jiuyi River, and floated on the Yuan and Xiang Rivers."

"He traveled northwards through the Wen and Si rivers, studied in the capitals of Qi and Lu, observed the legacy of Confucius, went to Zou and Yi for archery, was trapped in Po, Xue, and Pengcheng, and returned home via Liang and Chu."

"After every coming-of-age ceremony, we, like Taishigong, will travel the world!"

"The first is to explore, the second is to verify, and the third is to collide."

“Through the recording and exploration of history, we can understand the ideal political path and human order.”

"We know how to highlight mistakes, set the standard of right and wrong, and know how to show that what one person does is right and good, and what another person does is wrong and bad!"

“We must identify talents among all people and know what kind of status to give them so that they can perform well!”

“On the other hand, we also need to see what kind of people are bad and incompetent, and how to remove them from the wrong positions!”

"Confucius said: It is better to see it clearly in action than to write it down in empty words."

Sima Tan looked at little Sima Qian and said with a smile:

“History is practical and concrete. It contains the various beginnings and ends of events and the various motives behind people’s actions. All of these can better teach us human wisdom.”

“This is the meaning of Taishigong.”

Sima Tan looked up at the sky, feeling filled with emotion.

"The Sky Curtain is not a history that belongs exclusively to the emperor."

"It is also the ideal verification for us historians."

"I am really looking forward to the future Fengshan Ceremony!"

……

On the canopy.

The little emperor wearing a crown sat on the dragon throne.

In front of him, a group of ministers whose faces could not be seen stood with their hands clasped.

……

[Just over half a month after Dorgon's death, Emperor Shunzhi told his ministers and others: "All state affairs should be reported to me. I am still young and do not know whether people are virtuous or not."]

[“When encountering urgent and important matters, you can report them to me immediately, and let the three kings in charge of government affairs handle the minor matters.”]

[The minister reported: "I am afraid that the discussion on the nomination of ministers will be delayed a little."]

The Emperor said: "If it is late, it is no harm. But if it is fast, but the right person is not found, that is what I am worried about."

Shunzhi believed that the affairs of the three ministries of civil servants, criminal justice and household were important, so according to the result of the discussion among the ministers, two ministers were appointed to each ministry. It was stipulated that the following matters must be reported to the three ministries: promotion, transfer and removal of officials, officials' crimes and capital punishment, the income and expenditure of money and grain, and other matters should be reported to the emperor as appropriate. He was able to take charge of the overall situation according to the importance of the matter. 】

……

Han Dynasty Lingdi Period
Liu Hong looked at the young emperor who spoke so few words and remained calm, and exclaimed:
"Although he is the young Lord Hu, his mind is not weak."

It is indeed very rare for a boy of only fourteen to handle political affairs with moderation and composure.

"The last person who was so organized and capable of handling things was Jiajing."

The ministers also recognized the ability of the young emperor.

Nothing else to say.

Dorgon's sudden death and the emperor's early personal rule did not cause any major turmoil.

Although there were struggles, they did not affect the stability of the entire world.

In other words, the transfer of power was basically achieved smoothly.

Liu Hong saw more clearly the important point about the transfer of power from the emperor.

The integrity and strictness of the system provided protection for the emperor.

"Zhu Yuanzhang..."

……

[Emperor Shunzhi's mother, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, also played a significant role during his reign.]

[She told Emperor Shunzhi: "Being the Son of Heaven is the highest position, which is indeed not easy. You must inherit the merits of your ancestors and expand your ambitions. If you can work diligently and conscientiously to govern the country and the people, you can be the ruler of the world."]

【The Emperor Shunzhi should select people based on their talents, be close to virtuous officials and stay away from villains, be clear and fair in rewards and punishments, promote frugality, avoid arrogance and impatience, study hard, and not be ashamed to ask questions.】

……

Datang.

“That’s the importance of having good parents.”

Li Shimin put his hands behind his back and sighed.

“What makes a person a person is what his parents teach him.”

"A person without education can achieve nothing great."

"Even if you can show off your power for a while, you won't end well."

"The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was able to hit the nail on the head and point out the key to success or failure, which shows her talent."

Li Chengqian looked for a long time but couldn't figure out which one it was.

"Aye? What happened?"

Li Shimin was quite speechless.

He pointed at Weicai in the sky and said a few words, incredulously:
"It's so obvious that it's teaching you how to use people, don't you see?"

Li Chengqian scratched his head and said embarrassedly:

"That's a bit cliché."

Li Shimin rubbed his head angrily!

“It’s a cliché indeed, but this is how you employ people!”

"The truth is simple, it's not that complicated."

"It all depends on whether you can do it."

……

[February 1651, the eighth year of Shunzhi ().]

[Emperor Shunzhi listed fourteen charges against Dorgon, which were written into an edict of more than 800 words and announced to the whole country.]

【The fourteen edicts can be summed up in one sentence: "The plot to usurp the throne is indeed true."】

[I hereby inform the heaven and earth, the ancestral temples and the country that the mother, son and wife of the deceased will be deprived of their titles, the temple sacrifices will be removed, and their amnesty will be stopped. This will be announced to the world so that everyone will know.]

[The titles of Dorgon's mother and wife were revoked, their spirit tablets were removed from the temple, and Dorgon's tomb was dug up and his corpse was whipped.]

……

{If we compare the imperial edict with the imperial decree issued eight years ago when Dorgon conferred the title of "Uncle Regent", the difference between the merits and the crimes is as great as the sky and the earth.}
{The inscription praised Dorgon’s great virtues and achievements, saying that he was “higher than Duke Zhou” and that some of his achievements were “unprecedented by Duke Zhou and surpassed by his uncle”.}
{Praising merits and punishing crimes are both exaggerated. The heroes and the culprits can change overnight. This is a common phenomenon in power struggles.}
{Dorgon has once again demonstrated that orphans and widows cannot be trusted!}
……

Ming Dynasty Wanli Period
The corner of Zhang Juzheng's eye twitched.

What the hell?
Why do these scenes look so familiar!
The little emperor on the side sighed:
"He praised her first and then killed her later. It took less than two months. He was so cold-blooded. It shows how deep his hatred is."

"However, without Dorgon, there would be no Qing Dynasty. Shunzhi's revenge was too excessive." Zhang Juzheng's mouth corners began to twitch.

It's so funny to hear these words coming out of your mouth!
The big joke of slipping the world!

"The struggle for power has nothing to do with merit, but only with the size of the power."

Zhang Juzheng felt that it would be better to speak his mind clearly.

After all, this little thing is too thoughtful and I can't figure it out, so I'd better just say what I think.

"Dorgon has many followers. If we don't completely belittle Dorgon and show our power, Li Ergon and Wang Ergon will emerge."

"In this life-or-death struggle for power, it is not possible without such ability. After all, there can only be one person in that position. Anyone who approaches or threatens is an enemy. It also reflects the temptation of human nature and power."

"But wear it like a new garment, and throw it away like an old shoe."

“This is not the right way to govern the country.”

The little emperor said seriously:

"Then what is the right way?"

Zhang Juzheng was silent for a moment, then sighed:
"Summer is hot, winter is mild."

"If you frequently waver in serving the masses, you will achieve little success."

"If you hide a great thing and move it frequently, you will suffer many setbacks."

"If you cook small fish and stir them frequently, you are destroying the water."

"If you govern a large country and frequently make changes, the people will suffer."

"A wise ruler values ​​tranquility and does not care about reform."

"To value tranquility is to be pure and empty."

"When one is pure and empty, he can contain everything."

The little emperor thought for a moment and looked at Zhang Juzheng in surprise.

"Sir, do you want to go on a diplomatic mission to all nations?!"

Zhang Juzheng remained silent again this time.

"Your Majesty, the performance evaluation system can only be used for a short period of time, but not for the whole life."

"The Ming Dynasty cannot always use the old methods to solve problems on this small piece of land."

“Because those old ways don’t work anymore.”

"The land and crops of the Ming Dynasty cannot be improved any further."

"The Ming Dynasty has been high and mighty for too long."

"The higher you stand, the harder you fall."

“It’s better to keep going than to fall down and die.”

"Go look somewhere else."

"Perhaps we can learn from others' experience to polish our jade?"

The little emperor nodded subconsciously.

"But the ministers in the court..."

When mentioning those things, Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but show his disdain.

"You are a mediocre person, not worth mentioning!"

"As long as your majesty wants, I will take full charge of it!"

"How can you cure the Ming Dynasty by hanging out with a bunch of insects?"

……

[After Shunzhi took power, he made a series of crimes committed by Dorgon public, purged Dorgon's cronies, re-employed ministers dismissed by Dorgon, and rehabilitated and restored the titles of princes and dukes who were persecuted by Dorgon.]

[He ordered to resolutely abandon the disturbing policies and extravagant projects implemented by Dorgon, and carried out moderate reforms as appropriate. ]

[He set an example, worked hard to learn Confucianism, attached importance to the appointment of Han officials, advocated sinicization, and advocated governing the country with culture, education and morality.]

[Then, Jirgalang was dismissed from his post as regent minister to avoid the dictatorship of powerful officials, and on the 1652th day of the first month of the ninth year of Shunzhi (), the three inner courts were ordered to:
"From now on, all memorials should be submitted to me for review, and there is no need to report to Prince Zheng."

[Later, in order to show consolation, he gave Jirgalang a golden seal and a golden seal and conferred him the title of Prince of Zheng.]

……

The period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty
“It’s a complete victory.”

Liu Bingyi looked at the little emperor's quick and decisive actions and sighed:

"If all the historical data are true, then Shunzhi's political talent and calm demeanor are fully demonstrated."

"It can be seen that although he was very young at the time, he had the wisdom and courage to make decisions on his own."

Xu Pingjun leaned in his arms and sighed:

"I just hope that this emperor can be nicer to the people."

Liu Bingyi was speechless for a moment.

……

In June of the 1659th year of Shunzhi (), Zheng Chenggong, the Prince of Yanping of the Southern Ming Dynasty, led his army across the Taiwan Strait and landed on the southeast coast. Along the way, he was unstoppable and defeated the Qing army. He successively captured Guazhou and Zhenjiang, and besieged Jiangning. For a time, the people in the southern provinces were shaken, and there were moves to plot uprisings. The entire Jiangnan province fell into a state of emergency, and the Qing court was shocked. 】

[Shunzhi was thinking about escaping back to Manchuria.]

[Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang rebuked him, saying how could he give up the country that his ancestors had won so cowardly?]

Shunzhi was furious when he heard this, and drew his sword, vowing to lead the army himself, and would never change his mind, whether he won or died. He then used his sword to split the throne in half.

[Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was annoyed. Why did this man always go to extremes? He also advised against leading the army in person. The fate of Emperor Yingzong of Ming was not far away.]

【But Shunzhi was determined and would not listen to anyone. At the same time, notices were posted at the city gates, informing the people that the emperor would go to the battle in person. The whole city was in panic.】

[Princes and ministers came to Johann Adam Schall von Bell to ask for help.]

[Tang Ruowang presented a memorial to Shunzhi, who changed his attitude and informed the people to stop the expedition.]

……

{Tang Ruowang was a Catholic and scientist, with no personal stance. He came to Guangdong in the second year of the Tianqi reign and met Xu Guangqi, who later introduced him to a job to help Chongzhen revise the Ming calendar.}
{In the Ming Dynasty court, Johann Adam Schall von Bell used his expertise to revise the calendar and helped the Ming Dynasty develop Western cannons. Emperor Chongzhen also often awarded him plaques.}
{In the 1640th year of Chongzhen (), Johann Adam Schall von Bell was promoted to the rector of the Beijing Catholic Diocese and was allowed to hold mass in the palace.}
{After Dorgon entered Beijing, he carried out large-scale demolitions to prevent the mixing of Manchus and Han people. Tang Ruowang's church was originally to be moved from the north to the south of the city. Tang Ruowang did not want the church to be demolished, so he wrote a petition to Dorgon, asking him not to demolish it. Unexpectedly, Dorgon gave him face and allowed him to stay where he was. }
{Not long after, Johann Adam Schall von Bell offered himself to the Qing court to make instruments for them to measure celestial bodies.}
{This is the advantage of being a scientist or a doctor. You don’t have to worry about the change of dynasties. Technical talents will be well served no matter who they work for.}
……

Great Sui.

"Ho."

Yang Jian shook his head and said:
"He has a pretty bad temper, jumping from one extreme to another in an instant."

Dugu Jialuo was curious.

"It seems that the emperor has a good relationship with this man named Tang Ruowang. He doesn't listen to the civil and military officials, including the empress dowager, but he listens to a foreigner."

Yang Jian thought about it for a while and said uncertainly:

"Maybe it's because he's an outsider, he has no roots, he's just a pure minister."

Dugu Jialuo thought about it and agreed:

"That's true. He looks different from ordinary people. He can only be a member of the royal party."

"Everyone could harm the emperor, except him."

Yang Jian nodded, and suddenly said:

"What do you think of opening a school and recruiting some craftsmen?"

Dugu Jialuo instantly understood what Yang Jian meant.

"The resistance is really huge. Those people all think it's a strange and lewd technique."

Yang Jian did not comment:
"I am the founder of the country."

"I have the Kaihuang rule."

"I am not afraid of either civil or military forces."

"Think about it, Jialuo, Shimin cannon!"

A strange look flashed in Yang Jian's eyes.

“What a scene that would be!”

Dugu Jialuo felt like he was dreaming.

“But you can give it a try!”

The couple, who were not afraid of big things, hit it off immediately.

Since there is a guarantee, just do it!

Yang Baodi Shimin was still blowing bubbles, not knowing anything.
……

【As an emperor, Shunzhi also had a sentimental side. 】

[Dong Efei was his most favored concubine]

[In the 1660th year of Shunzhi's reign ( AD), Concubine Dong E passed away after accompanying Emperor Shunzhi for four years, which made Shunzhi extremely sad.]

[After that, his mood became increasingly depressed and his health deteriorated day by day.]

On the second day of the first lunar month in the eighteenth year of the Shunzhi reign, the Shunzhi Emperor suddenly fell ill and his condition was serious. The next day, he summoned Wang Xi to the Yangxin Palace. At midnight on the sixth lunar month, he summoned Wang Xi to the Yangxin Palace again and said, "I have smallpox and will not be able to get up. You can listen to me carefully and write an edict quickly."]

【Wang Xi retreated to the west screen of Qianqing Gate and wrote the "Last Will" according to Shunzhi's wishes. After writing one sentence, he immediately submitted it. In one day and one night, he read it three times and received the emperor's approval three times. The "Last Will" was written and revised by the evening of the seventh day.】

[That night, Shunzhi died.]

[According to Shunzhi's words before his death: "The ancestors prescribed fire baths. Now I am paying attention to Zen principles and must hold the torch to preach the Dharma..."]

[On April 17, Monk Xisen cremated Shunzhi's body at the Shouhuang Temple in Jingshan.]

[He died at the age of 24. His temple name was "Shizu" and his posthumous title was "Emperor Zhang". He was buried in the Xiaoling Mausoleum of the Qing Dynasty.]
