The opening inventory of the top ten young emperors

Qin Shi Huang was thinking in his mind, while Tian Juan continued to narrate:

[Reply 12 and then use blitzkrieg, which is to be extremely fast, accurate and ruthless. I didn't expect to get such a good effect right after using it for the first time. ]

[Reply 13 to continue. Although the Battle of Mobei took place four years later, the fighting style was already very mature. Huo Qubing's own combat experience was also much more abundant than before. Naturally, he would not return empty-handed. ]

[Reply 14 Following this time, he and General Wei Qing split their troops into two groups and used blitzkrieg to penetrate deep into Mobei. One cavalryman was even equipped with five horses.]

One cavalryman has five horses!
Qin Shi Huang took a breath.

He was sure that with his country's current strength, equipping a cavalry battalion with two war horses would have drained all of his former wealth.

One cavalryman was equipped with five horses.
This is not just emptying the family's wealth, this is pouring basketfuls of Qin's copper coins into the sea.

How did Emperor Wu of Han do it?
Emperor Wu of Han also frowned at the same time and made some calculations in his mind.
Although the treasury was full during the reigns of Emperor Xian and Emperor Wen, it was still a bit difficult to deal with a cavalry with only five horses.

Moreover, horses are different from other baggage. You cannot keep as many as you prepare, and there will often be losses, which makes the cost even greater.

In addition, the horses from the north are better, especially the famous Ferghana horses. If you want to build such a cavalry, you need to buy horses or breed them from the Xiongnu.

The Xiongnu were extremely wary of the Han people and were unwilling to sell them good horses or help them breed. This added another layer of cost.

But fortunately, he knew this information in advance. And he had already planned to expand the Han Dynasty's horse reserves. So, although Huo Qubing had not grown up yet, he could prepare horses in advance. Especially stallions.

[Reply 15: Of course, Huo Qubing did his duty well. He led his cavalry deep into the Xiongnu territory for more than miles. After he led his troops over the Lihou Mountain and crossed the Gonglu River, he finally encountered the Xiongnu Zuoxian King's troops and engaged in battle.]

[Reply 16 to continue. In this battle, he annihilated more than enemies, not only capturing the Xiongnu's Tuntou King, Han King and others, but also more than high-ranking officials including generals, prime ministers, porters and captains.]

Captured so many nobles and high-ranking officials?
Although it had already happened, Song Renzong was still jealous when he saw the inventory of the heavenly scroll.

In contrast, at the moment, the Song Dynasty could not even deal with the Liao Kingdom. Even the villain Li Yuanhao could rebel against the Song Dynasty and establish the Western Xia Kingdom.
For a moment, he seemed to have a feeling of depression in his heart that he could neither swallow nor spit out.

When will his Song Dynasty be able to be so proud?

[Reply 17 to continue. This is not the end. After that, Huo Qubing continued to march northward, all the way to the Wolf Mountain in the depths of the desert. Wherever he passed, the Xiongnu soldiers fled, not daring to fight him at all.]

[Reply 18: It was during this battle in Mobei that Huo Qubing climbed to the top of Mount Langjuxu, rubbed the soil into an altar to offer sacrifices to the heavens, and then offered sacrifices to the earth at Mount Guyan in the north, receiving the Mandate of Heaven on behalf of Emperor Wu of Han.]

[Reply 19: The reason why these two mountains were chosen to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth is because these two mountains are equivalent to the sacred mountains of the Xiongnu, and their status is similar to that of Mount Tai.]

Liu Che looked at Tian Juan with burning eyes, and his heart surged even more. Then he said loudly: "Come here, ask Sang Hongyang to come over. I have something important to discuss with him."
The issue of war horses must be put on the agenda. If we can achieve this great victory, what difference will it make even if the entire Han Dynasty is mobilized?

[Reply 20 to continue But, do you think this is the end? No. After sealing the Wolf Mountain, Huo Qubing continued to rush northward and actually chased the Xiongnu king's court all the way to the vast sea. ]

Qin Shi Huang/Emperor Wu of Han: There's more?!
[Reply 21: Following this vast sea, it is believed to be located on the shore of today's Lake Baikal. Let me mention another name that is more familiar to us all, which is the North Sea where Su Wu once herded sheep. ]

At this point, the heavenly scroll displayed a map, dividing Huo Qubing's marching route into several sections and presenting it in a dynamic form, which made the emperors excited and moved.

Conquer the Wolf's Lair, abdicate at Guyan, and let your horses drink from the vast sea!

This was the lifelong dream of many emperors, but it was realized during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han. After that, very few emperors expanded their territory to this extent.

The same was true for Qin Shi Huang. Looking at the vast map, his eyes were burning.
It would be great if this vast territory also belonged to his Great Qin!
"Someone, ask the eldest son to come over. I have something to tell him."
When Qin Shi Huang saw this young general, he couldn't help but think of his own youth, and even more so of the chaos that Tianjuan had described about the future of the Qin Dynasty.

After the Heavenly Scroll revealed the chaos after his death, he had been thinking about how to make Fusu a qualified crown prince. So he brought him with him on this tour, always examining his character and work. But there were both joys and sorrows.

Because he found that Fusu's teachers taught him in a too pedantic way, or too soft-heartedly.

Looking back over the years, the Qin Dynasty unified the six kingdoms and was decisive in killing and conquering. It was indeed too tyrannical. That's why he didn't say anything before. After all, maintaining the status quo is different from expanding the territory, and there must be some gentle means. That's why he asked the Confucian teacher to teach him.
But this does not mean that after studying with the great scholar, his son can deny everything he does and like to oppose him.

He stood against himself on the issue of enfeoffment, and he also stood against himself on the issue of Han Fei.
But he only cared about his benevolence and didn't think about why he did it.

But today, after seeing what Tianjuan said and hearing about the young general who galloped across the desert in later generations, he made up his mind.

If you want a man to grow up, you must put him in the army to train him. Only the swords and horses can arouse a man's blood and make him tough in his dealings, rather than being swayed by the sweet words of some people.

Of course, if that doesn't work...

[Reply 22 to continue. It was only here that Huo Qubing stopped the pursuit. But because of this, the Xiongnu no longer dared to stay in the southern part of the desert, but moved the royal court to the farther northern part of the desert to avoid the Han Dynasty's surprise attack.]

At this time, a circle was drawn on the map to mark the final migration address of the Xiongnu royal court.
At the same time, the location of Chang'an, the capital of the Han Dynasty, was also marked on the map.

That is to say, when seeing this position, the eyes of the emperors of all planes turned red. However, they were not red from jealousy, but red from envy.
If he could seal the Wolf's Lair and drive the northern foreigners out of Mobei, he would be second to none in this dynasty, not to mention in all dynasties.

Now they all understood more deeply why Emperor Wu of Han could be compared with Qin Shi Huang!

After driving the Huns to the northern desert, the territory of the Han Dynasty expanded by nearly more than double. Only Qin Shihuang could do this!

[Reply 23, to continue. Back then, when Emperor Wu of Han wanted to build a mansion for his nephew, Huo Qubing once said, "If the Xiongnu are not destroyed, how can I have a home?" Now he has finally fulfilled his wish. ]

[Reply 24 After the attack on Fenglangjuxu Mountain, the Xiongnu were greatly shocked and frightened. For decades after that, the Xiongnu no longer dared to easily invade the Han territory, and the Han people also gained confidence and a stronger sense of belonging. ]

"If the Xiongnu is not destroyed, how can we have a home?"
Looking at the map of the Han Dynasty on the scroll, Song Renzong could not calm down for a long time. He had learned the story of Fenglangjuxu a long time ago, but no matter when, it was not as intuitive as this time.

Looking at the territory of the Han Dynasty, and then thinking about the territory of his Song Dynasty at that time, as well as the other two neighbors who bordered the Song Dynasty but were eyeing it covetously, Song Renzong felt quite uncomfortable.
The Song Dynasty at this time was more than half the size of the Han and Tang dynasties. But even so, it still could not rest easy.

Back then, the Han Dynasty also made peace with the Xiongnu and paid tribute every year, but after several emperors worked hard to govern the country, they finally drove the Xiongnu to the northern desert.

The Song Dynasty paid countless annual tributes, but not only was it still unable to satisfy the appetite of the Liao Kingdom and the Western Xia, but even its soldiers and generals became increasingly incompetent.

What exactly is the difference between the Song Dynasty and the Han Dynasty?
When Song Renzong thought of this, his face suddenly turned ugly.

He suddenly thought, what would happen if Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, came to his Song Dynasty and sat in his position?
He also ascended the throne at a young age, also had a queen mother ruling the country, and was also unable to rule the country himself. How did he manage all this?

The more he thought about it, the more ashamed Song Renzong felt.

Seeing that the official's expression was changing and he was silent, Wang Anshi did not dare to say anything and could only wait quietly by the side.

He could recite the story of Fenglangjuxu by heart, but every time he felt lofty ambitions rising in his heart, and then saw the various shortcomings and weaknesses of the Song Dynasty at that time, he felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

This feeling became even stronger after Gao was sent to serve as an official abroad. He knew that the Song Dynasty must change, otherwise it would be in danger of national destruction.
Now that he has been recalled by the government, although he doesn't know why, he has a vague feeling that he should be able to do something big!

At this time, Song Shenzong's eyes were red as he looked at the territory of the Han Dynasty.

Although the situations of the Xiongnu and Western Xia were completely different, if the officials of the Song Dynasty were not so cautious and could be half as brave as the Marquis of Guanjun, I am afraid that the subsequent war against Xia would not have ended in such a miserable way.

He calculated that he was only ten years away from thirty-eight, and immediately made up his mind: "Come here, summon the prince to see you immediately."

Recently, there was a severe drought in the country, and the people were displaced. Countless ministers impeached Wang Xianggong, believing that the reform had caused the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people. At first, he naturally did not believe it, but since all the ministers in the court said so, even he began to doubt it.
Perhaps seeing his hesitation, Lord Wang said, "Natural disasters are not to be feared, ancestors' teachings are not to be followed, and people's words are not to be pitied," and then he claimed to be sick.

However, it was from that time that the Heavenly Scroll appeared. If it was true, as those ministers said, that the drought was a punishment for the reform, then what was the Heavenly Scroll? Wasn't it also a warning from heaven? So that he could save the Song Dynasty from danger?

Who would have thought that the appearance of the Heavenly Scroll would suddenly bring a turning point to the relationship between Song Shenzong and Wang Anshi, which was about to break down.
However, Lei Xiaomeng didn't know about this. At this time, Tianjuan's answer to the previous question had come to an end.

[Reply 25 continued: This is also the reason why the people in the Central Plains called themselves the Han people after the Western Han Dynasty. And the name Han people has continued to this day, more than years later.]

In fact, Lei Xiaomeng deliberately left these two questions to the end in order to compare the two wars. A discerning person can see the difference at a glance and will have a deeper understanding.

There is actually a strong contrast between Emperor Renzong of Song and Emperor Wu of Han.
One of them was known for his benevolence, while the other was criticized for his personal morality. However, when the former was in power, although the country was stable, he actually left many hidden dangers for future generations.
Although Emperor Wu of Han was warlike and aggressive, he left behind a lasting foundation for the Han Dynasty.

Both ascended the throne at a young age, and both were frustrated at first, so why was there such a big difference after they took power?
It can only be said that it is due to personal ability.

This forced Lei Xiaomeng to think again about a question she had raised before: the prosperity of a feudal dynasty is indeed closely related to the ability of the emperor.
As for the ability of the emperor, this is a metaphysical question.

In other words, the common people had to rely on their luck. If they were lucky, they could meet a sage emperor like Li Shimin. But if they were unlucky, they could only face a tyrant like Emperor Yang of Sui.

But next, she will take stock of a pair of emperors, father and son. Both of them were very unfortunate, as they both ascended the throne at a young age.
However, the father and son who had the same childhood circumstances had two different endings.

[Okay everyone, we have finally answered all the comments from last time. Next, we are about to start a new round of reviews. We have already mentioned this last time, and we are going to review a father and son.]
[Which father and son do you think I will review? 】

After Lei Xiaomeng got home and packed up, she was watching the video played by Tianjuan when she heard message alerts ringing one after another.
She was stunned. Was there another message?
Wouldn't it be after the video ends that someone would leave a message, allowing her to interact and answer questions?
Moreover, this doesn’t sound like the prompt sound of the barrage.

Finally, she fixed her eyes on the chat prompt of Emperor Garden in the lower right corner.

【@子控凶残老父: Father and son? Could it be Zhu Jianshen and Zhu Youtang? Aren’t these two emperors said to have ascended the throne at a young age?】
Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth as he left the message.

This old lady had a lot of grievances against the Ming Dynasty. Now, according to calculations, several emperors of the Ming Dynasty had been almost bald by the old lady. If she continued to keep an eye on him, I'm afraid that all the ancestors of the Zhu family would be counted by her.

【V@Super IQ, serious chuunibyou patient: Impossible, the grandmother said it, and the Ming Dynasty will not say it again, so it is definitely not my ancestor. 】

In the spirit of respecting the elders, Zhu Houzhao did not want the old lady to list his ancestors. To be honest, there are a lot of things to complain about these two.
If he really takes stock of it, he can't afford to be embarrassed by this person.

【@不合时宜新青年: Those were the few young emperors at the end of the Han Dynasty. They all seemed to have ascended the throne at a very young age. 】
Wang Mang was not afraid of being exposed. He was already the emperor, so what was there to be afraid of? If someone talked nonsense, he would just kill them!

【@斧光烛影皇太弟: Western Han Dynasty or Eastern Han Dynasty? Regardless of the Western Han Dynasty or Eastern Han Dynasty, those little emperors were too young to give birth to sons! It's more like brothers.】
Okay, Zhao Kuangyi also spoke.

【@扮猪吃虎黑马王: Those were the little emperors during the Wei and Jin dynasties. I remember there was a Jin Huidi who seemed to be quite famous.】
Emperor Gaozong of Tang also got involved.

【@日月当空聖神麦雷母皇: This child seems to have a ancestor who did not ascend the throne at a young age and has no offspring. 】
Wu Zetian also interjected.

When he saw this name continuing what he had said, Emperor Gaozong of Tang had a complicated expression and didn't know whether to continue speaking.

【@十全老人拷贝怪: Hahaha, speaking of which, the Ming Dynasty had the most child emperors. I think the old lady is going to talk about the Ming Dynasty again. 】

Qianlong first made a joke, but then sent another barrage.
【@十全老人绘怪: No, I know who it is. 】

Then he calmly asked the question of the sky.
【@十全老人绘怪: Grandma, you are here. Let me guess, are you thinking of the same thing as me, my great-grandfather and grandfather? 】

Seeing that the question was directed to him, Lei Xiaomeng had no choice but to speak up.
[Yes, Your Majesty guessed correctly. The people counted in this heavenly scroll are Shunzhi and Kangxi, father and son.]

【@十全老人绘怪: Look, you guys look. I am right, right?】

Qianlong was so arrogant that he forgot about Heshen who was kneeling beside him. This sentence came out of his mouth and appeared on the Tianjuan. Although Heshen heard Qianlong's mumbling, he didn't dare to get up, let alone look at the Tianjuan.

He Shen knew that this day would come. While kneeling, he was not idle. He thought of countless ways to get himself out of trouble, but unfortunately, it seemed that none of them worked.
Now he only hoped that His Majesty would wait for a while until the Heavenly Scroll dispersed and let him go back.

Then, as if in response to Qianlong, a large golden character flashed across the sky:
[Okay, I won't let you guess anymore. This time we are going to review Shunzhi and Kangxi. The name of this issue is "The Ten Young Emperors of Fortune and Oxen: The Father and Son - Emperor Shizu and Emperor Shengzu of the Qing Dynasty".]

At this moment, a barrage of comments appeared above the video.
【@全科学霸住再５００年: As expected, I am here. I wonder where my father is and why he hasn’t appeared for so long. 】

So not long after this comment was posted, another comment appeared above the video:
【@The Mysophobic Emperor Who Almost Became a Monk: I am here. 】

Wow, he actually looked for his father in the Heavenly Scroll. The key is that someone came out to acknowledge him!

Lei Xiaomeng admired this kind of dedication. At least she couldn't do it.

Not only that, after Emperor Shunzhi's barrage appeared, another barrage floated out above the video.
【@子控凶残老父: Oh, judging from the name, he was also a monk. He and I are from the same school. Hello, Junior Brother! 】

【@十全老人涂怪: Zhu Chongba, shut up and don’t be rude to my grandfather and great-grandfather. 】

【@子控凶老父: I was rude, what do you think of me? 】
What Old Zhu fears least is threats. A kid who is hundreds of years younger than him dares to threaten him. He is really courting death!
【@十全老人涂怪: If you dare to be rude, I will have your grave dug up tomorrow. 】

Zhu Yuanzhang:......

【@子控凶残老父: Good boy, you are cruel. But aren't you afraid that I will chop off the heads of all your ancestors? 】

【@十全老人绘怪: Why don’t you try it! 】

【@子控凶老父: Just give it a try! 】

Turning around, Zhu Yuanzhang left a message in the Imperial Garden.
【@子控凶残老父: Grandmother, who is his ancestor? Which family overthrew our Ming Dynasty? What is their surname and name?】

Qianlong also moved to the Imperial Garden:
[@十全老人涂怪: Zhu Chongba, do you believe that I will have your grave dug up right now? Not only that, I will also dig up the graves of your descendants! ]

Seeing the two quarreling from the barrage to the Imperial Garden, Lei Xiaomeng was quite speechless. At this time, he could only persuade them: "Okay, okay, everyone, just look at the inventory carefully. Stop quarreling. Digging graves is illegal, we can't do it!"

I don't know if Lei Xiaomeng's persuasion worked, the two didn't continue to quarrel in the imperial garden. But Qianlong suddenly said after a while.
【@十全老人涂怪: Grandmother, my great-grandfather has not yet entered the Imperial Garden. Can you please invite him in? 】

How difficult is this? As long as someone has spoken on the video, whether it is a barrage or a message, as long as his ID number can be clicked, Lei Xiaomeng can pull him in.

So Lei Xiaomeng dragged @Almost Became a Monk's Cleanliness Emperor into "Emperor Garden" without saying anything. So everyone only saw a line of small gray words appear in the chat box of Emperor Garden.

【Welcome @Almost Became a Monk's Cleanliness Emperor to join this group! 】

Immediately afterwards, Qianlong and Kangxi greeted him.
【@十全老人绘怪: I have met my great-grandfather! 】

【@All science tyrants live another 500 years: I have met my father! 】

Shunzhi was very polite and responded with a comment.
[@The Mysophobic Emperor Who Almost Became a Monk: No need to be polite! ]

Haha, it really seems like that.
Lei Xiaomeng was happy.

If you don’t know, you might really think it was a meeting of the three fathers and grandfathers. However, among these three, only Yongzheng is left. Why is there no one playing the role of Yongzheng?

The sky, which was just covered by the explosive conversation between Qianlong and Zhu Yuanzhang, finally became much quieter. The content of the video was also progressing slowly.

[As always, let’s first talk about the origin of the three characters “福运牛”. 福 is the “福” of blessing. Shunzhi and Kangxi, father and son, were six and eight years old respectively, and were still children when they ascended the throne.]

[Not only that, at that time, they were surrounded by powerful officials. But in such a severe environment, they were able to survive until they were adults and rule the country, and they were able to let the powerful officials die before them. How could they not be blessed? ]

I lost my father at a young age, and lived under powerful ministers. Just because I outlived those ministers, does that mean I am a blessed person?
The emperors: The Heavenly Scroll seems a bit far-fetched.

[Dorgon was the powerful minister during the reign of Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty, and Oboi was the powerful minister during the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. Both of them were brave and powerful men, and they were the ones who could command the support of the people in the court. To be honest, it was really not easy to get rid of their control.]

[Among the two, Shunzhi seemed to be more blessed, and he lived up to his name, Fulin.]

[He barely had to put in any effort, as Dorgon died of illness before him. This is something that many emperors who were manipulated by powerful officials could only encounter but could not hope for!]

Shunzhi's face darkened.
He didn't think this was something worth bragging about. If he wanted to vent his anger, he would cut Dorgon into pieces or beheaded him while he was still alive.

(End of this chapter)
