The opening inventory of the top ten young emperors

[Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty was even more amazing. At a young age, he relied on a group of young eunuchs that he personally summoned and secretly trained to capture the first Baturu Aobai of the Qing Dynasty and put him in prison, thus getting rid of the control of the powerful officials.]

[Kill the powerful ministers and seize power. This is something that many adult emperors have tried their best but failed to accomplish, but they didn't expect a teenager to succeed after careful planning. It must be said that Kangxi was also very blessed. ]

All emperors: Tianjuan, whatever you say is what it is!

[Let’s move on to the second character, “运”.]

[The word "luck", ahem, "luck" has a similar meaning to "happiness", but there are also differences. How should I put it? If "happiness" is only related to the emperor's personal fortune, then "luck" is related to the fortune of a country. ]

[So, the up master believes that Shunzhi's "luck" lies in the fact that he made Kangxi the crown prince, allowing Aixinjueluo Xuanye to become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. ]

Shunzhi was stunned.
His passing the throne to Xuanye turned out to be the luckiest thing for the Qing Dynasty? What did his son do during his reign to deserve such a high evaluation from Tianjuan?

Tianjuan had teased him before that he was a top student in vain. Although I don't know the specific meaning of "top student", it should mean that he is very good at studying and very smart. It means that he will pass the throne to a smart child in the future.

But when it comes to the fate of a country, it's not just intelligence that can be highly praised.

[So, what was Kangxi's "luck"? He became Shunzhi's son, and not only did he recover from smallpox in childhood, but he also inherited the throne. This is the true blessing of surviving a great disaster, and it can even be said to be the blessing of the entire Qing Dynasty! ]

this……
When the emperors of various planes heard Tianjuan's words, they all sneered, with Zhu Yuanzhang being the worst.

Tianjuan has nothing to say about this, he must be making up words on purpose!
Thinking so, he also posted the barrage.

[@子控凶残老父: Tianjuan has nothing to say about this, he is just making up words on purpose! ]

So, after this comment was posted, the number of likes immediately rose rapidly in a straight line.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhu Yuanzhang sent another barrage.

【@子控凶残老父: Don’t think that you are the only one with sons in the Qing Dynasty. My Ming Dynasty has many more than you. All my children and grandchildren, come out and line up, and show your ancestors. 】

So after a few seconds of silence above the video, several comments started to float over...

【@Anxious old uncle: May the emperor be safe and sound! 】

【@The nephew who was bullied to death: Hello, Grandpa Huang! 】

【@History's No. 1 Crown Prince: Meet the Emperor! 】

【V@Super IQ, serious chuunibyou patient: I pay my respects to my ancestors! 】

[@Da Ming War God Prodigal Son: I have met my great-great-grandfather! ]

【V@Really Great Saint Grandson Cricket King: Great-grandfather was wise and powerful! 】

【@学成返真统: Um... I also met my great-great-grandfather! 】

【@All the ministers have misled me into a pine tree: May the Emperor Taizu live long and well! 】

……

Looking at the overwhelming row of things in the scroll, the emperors of all dimensions were shocked, and finally someone jumped out to question Lei Xiaomeng.

【@十全老人涂怪: Grandma, do you have any connection with the Zhu family? How come there are so many Ming emperors? Come out and explain it to me. 】

So Lei Xiaomeng had to post a comment:
[Please do not affect the normal playback of the video. If you want to chat, please move to the Emperor's Garden. Also, do not quarrel or use swear words, otherwise the up master will ban you! ]

This time, Zhu Yuanzhang was happy and ignored Qianlong's protest. Instead, he happily followed Lei Xiaomeng's request and went to the chat box of Emperor Garden. Then he sent a message.

【@子控凶残老父: Come on, my children, come on, pay your respects to me, your ancestor, again! 】

So under his call, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty lined up and came again.
【@Anxious old uncle: May the emperor be safe and sound! 】

【@The nephew who was bullied to death: Hello, Grandpa Huang! 】

……

[@子控凶残老父: Hahahaha, no need to be polite, please stand up! You are all my good children and grandchildren, all good children! Hahahaha! ]

Other emperors in the Imperial Garden:

Qianlong was not happy with this and immediately left a message.
【@十全老人绘怪: My children and grandchildren, please come out and meet our ancestors. 】

Unfortunately, no one paid attention to his words for a long time. After a while, he seemed to realize something and immediately turned back to the Heavenly Scroll.

【@十全老人绘怪: There should be more people here than in the Imperial Garden! My children and grandchildren, come out to see our ancestors! 】

But unfortunately, after his barrage was posted, there was no grand scene of Zhu Yuanzhang's children and grandchildren lining up to pay their respects, and there were even few people who liked it.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang jumped out again and posted a barrage of comments with a laugh.
【@子控凶残老父: Look, there's no one here. It must be that your children and grandchildren all feel ashamed of their ancestors, so they dare not show their heads. Humph, a good country has become a ruin in the hands of your Qing Dynasty. If it were me, I wouldn't dare to say a word! 】

This time, Qianlong really had nothing to say and was completely defeated.

He is angry and furious!

In a blink of an eye, he saw He Shen still kneeling on the ground. He frowned slightly as if he had just remembered him: "Why are you still here?"
He Shen: ...

"Come here!" Qianlong groaned, "Take off Heshen's hat and feather and take him to the clan house!"
"Your Majesty!" He Shen's body trembled, "Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

Qianlong sighed deeply: "I do want to forgive you, but I can't find a reason to forgive you. Tianjuan is right, some things should be clarified earlier for the benefit of our children and grandchildren."

"For the sake of my children and grandchildren, for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, and for the sake of the millions of Chinese people, I must kill you as soon as possible!"
"Your Majesty——" Heshen immediately shook like a sieve and could no longer get up.

The chaos of the barrage finally settled down, and Tianjuan's voice became clearer.

[As for Niu, it must be said that it was because of these two emperors that the chaos after the Qing Dynasty entered the Pass was quelled and the entire country was put on the right track. ]

[Emperor Shunzhi made great contributions to promoting the integration of Manchus and Han people. His son Kangxi unified the Chinese territory and brought Taiwan back to the embrace of China.]

【The achievements made by his father and son are so great that anyone who hears about them in later generations will give them a thumbs up. Especially Emperor Kangxi, who reigned for 61 years and can be said to be the most powerful emperor in the history of the Qing Dynasty! 】
[Yes, this ox is referring to Emperor Kangxi. As for Emperor Shunzhi... ahem, thanks to him for giving birth to the outstanding Emperor Aixinjuelu Xuanye. As the parent of an ox kid, of course you have to be an ox too! ]

Aisin-Gioro? They are actually foreigners!
Zhu Yuanzhang's heart sank. He had never expected that his Ming dynasty had defended against the Mongols for hundreds of years, but in the end, the foreigners from the north still took over the country.

However, this surname doesn't sound like a Mongolian surname. Could it be from some other tribe?
Tatars, Oirat, Mongols or Tibetans?
"Someone, go check for me to see which tribe of those foreigners in the north the surname Aixinjueluo belongs to."
"Yes!" The Jinyiwei immediately received the order and went to investigate.

After Zhu Di went to Fujian, he handed over the command of the Jinyiwei. Now that Zhu Yuanzhang has handed it over to a reliable person, it can still be used.

Moreover, his previous quarrel with Qianlong was not just talk, he really wanted to find the ancestor of the Qing Dynasty. Now that he knew that he was a foreigner, he felt half relieved.
If his surname is Wang, Li or Zhang, where in this vast world can he find someone?

[Just kidding, Emperor Shunzhi was also very powerful. Now let's take stock of the father and son one by one. Let's talk about the father Shunzhi first. 】
[In general, Emperor Shunzhi had six major achievements. ]

[First, centralize power and rectify the administration of officials. In addition to centralizing the power of the Plain Yellow Banner and the Bordered Yellow Banner in his own hands, Shunzhi also centralized the power of the Plain White Banner in his own hands after Dorgon's death.]

[In this way, Shunzhi controlled three of the eight banners, that is, half of all the troops, and distributed the power originally given to the princes of the eight banners to the ministers. He imitated the cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty, established the Military Affairs Office and the Military Affairs Minister, and let other princes manage other affairs.]

[In this way, the princes have real power, but no military power, and the decision-making power of political affairs is in the hands of the cabinet under their control, which further stabilizes the government. ]

Separate the military and the government, each with its own duties. Weaken the vassal kings and make use of ministers.
Emperor Taizong of Tang nodded repeatedly after hearing this. The Shunzhi Emperor's policies were remarkable and well-organized. [Second, develop agriculture and rectify finance and taxation. First, Shunzhi prohibited the nobles from enclosing land. This was done at a very timely moment. Since the Qing Dynasty originated from the northern nomadic people, they would use the land for grazing and hunting after occupying it.]

[This was a great harm to agriculture. He discovered it in time and took measures, which played a huge role in social development and stabilizing people's hearts.]

[In addition, in terms of finance and taxation, he not only implemented policies such as military farming to expand the area of ​​farmland and increase tax revenue, but also implemented a three-year tax exemption policy for some poor or war-damaged areas. This measure doubled the amount of farmland in ten years.]

Enclosure and cultivation?
Thinking that his Song Dynasty was also facing this problem at the moment, Song Renzong frowned.

Nowadays, there are too many imperial farms, which have occupied a large amount of civilian farmland. The people near Bianjing are displaced, which will sooner or later become a big problem. Therefore, this is also a problem that needs to be solved by the reform.
Thinking of this, he asked Wang Anshi in front of him: "My dear, how do you think the problem of the imperial farms in our dynasty should be solved?"

Although Wang Anshi did not explain this in the memorial submitted to Song Renzong, he had a plan in his mind, but this plan was not yet finalized, so he did not dare to present it to the emperor rashly.

So he said, "Your Majesty, I have thought about this matter for a long time, but I only have some clues. Once I have sorted out my thoughts, I will draft a new memorial to your Majesty."
Song Renzong nodded slightly: "I hope to see your memorial soon."

Then he thought for a moment and said, "If there is still something unclear, you can refer to the Shunzhi Emperor's approach. After all, it was a dynasty hundreds of years later, and they should have considered this matter more thoroughly."

"Your Majesty is wise. I will listen carefully to the explanation of the Heavenly Scroll to see if there is anything that our Great Song can use."
Renzong nodded slightly, then turned to the scroll and read it attentively.

【Third, ease the contradictions and unify the Central Plains. When the Qing army entered the pass, they committed various bloody incidents such as the "Ten Days of Yangzhou" and the "Three Massacres of Jiading", using extremely violent means. After Shunzhi took power, he actively implemented policies to ease the contradictions between the government and the people, which had a significant effect.】

【As for some anti-Qing generals in the late Ming Dynasty, he no longer blindly suppressed them, but took measures such as dividing and appeasing them, which had a significant effect. Finally, under his leadership, the Qing Dynasty recovered all mainland territories except Taiwan and achieved the unification of the Central Plains.】

Ten days in Yangzhou?
The Three Massacres of Jiading?

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes at these two nouns that sounded uncomfortable.

Barbarians are barbarians. After they took control of the Central Plains, they actually committed such cruel and inhumane things.

Just like the Mongols, even if they entered the Central Plains, they could not stay in power. Not only were there conflicts with the Han people, but even the relationship between them fell apart.
This situation once made being an emperor the most dangerous thing. There was even a child emperor who ascended the throne at the age of seven, but was killed after only forty days.

He really wanted to know what methods Emperor Shunzhi used to "ease" the conflict between the two ethnic groups!
【Fourth, Manchus and Han people are one family, and ethnic groups are integrated. When the Qing Dynasty was first established, ethnic conflicts were extremely fierce, especially the conflicts between Manchus and Han people. There were countless uprising armies, either openly or secretly, opposing the establishment of the Qing Dynasty.】

Manchus and Han are one family? Manchu? Manchus?
It’s not Mongolia after all.

However, he had never heard of the "Manchu" tribe. Which tribe was it from?
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

【In view of this, Emperor Shunzhi tried to ease the hostility of the Han people towards them while contacting and winning over the Mongolian nobles and other tribal nobles. In addition to vigorously promoting Han culture, he also personally worshipped at the Confucius Temple and selected a large number of Han officials through the imperial examination. 】

To worship the Confucius Temple, choose Han officials?

Zhu Yuanzhang's face looked a little ugly.
As expected, these nerds are the softest.
They were bought off with just one imperial examination!
Damn, really hateful!

【Through these measures, ethnic conflicts were indeed greatly eased. Through cultural recognition, the Qing Dynasty gradually gained public recognition. The birth of a large number of Han officials also made the court increasingly stable.】

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's face became even darker.
This Emperor Shunzhi was indeed a person specially selected by the Heavenly Scroll. He was indeed extraordinary.
This is it - kill people and destroy their hearts!
【Fifth, he accepted loyal advice, regardless of whether they were Manchus or Han Chinese. Shunzhi followed the example of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, who humbly listened to advice, corrected it if necessary, and encouraged it if not. He was tolerant and generous to officials who gave him advice. This set an example for later Qing emperors.】

[It is for this reason that the Qing emperors who followed him took the advice of ministers very seriously, and there were several emperors who worked diligently and made great efforts to strengthen the country, which led to the so-called "Kangxi and Qianlong prosperous eras".]

Hearing that he was imitating himself, Emperor Taizong of Tang finally raised the corners of his mouth and nodded slightly:
"That's right. With Prime Minister Wei, he is like a mirror for me, allowing me to reflect on myself from time to time. And Emperor Shunzhi must have such a talent by his side! A great talent, a real great talent!"

When Qianlong heard the term "Kangxi and Qianlong prosperous era" in later generations, he felt for a moment that his life was not wasted and he raised the corners of his mouth with satisfaction.

Just at this time, someone in the Imperial Garden spoke.
【@All science masters live another 500 years: Hongli, you did a great job and your name will go down in history. You should keep up the good work. 】

Qianlong did not expect that he would be praised by his ancestor, especially in public. He felt very proud, but he still had to be reserved in front of outsiders.
【@十全老人涂怪: Grandfather Huang is so flattering, Hongli is unworthy of it! 】
[@子控凶老父: Humph, I think you are so happy! Aisin-Gioro, Hongli! ]
As soon as the name was read out, how could Qianlong not know that it was Zhu Yuanzhang who was threatening him.
But he was not afraid, he smiled coldly and replied:
【@十全老人涂怪: Do you know who broke into your Forbidden City and who opened Shanhaiguan before the Qing Dynasty came to rule the Central Plains? 】
Zhu Yuanzhang:......
Wasn’t it the Qing Dynasty that destroyed the Forbidden City and captured Shanhaiguan?

Although he thought so, he did not dare to ask in the Imperial Garden. He was afraid that the more he asked, the less Qianlong would want to tell him.

But obviously, if he didn't ask, Qianlong would not tell him.

【@十全老人绘怪: Hey, I know you want to know, but I won’t tell you. 】

The blue veins on Zhu Yuanzhang's forehead popped out.
So he decided to wait a while and ask the Heavenly Scroll!
[The last point is that the opposite of treating ministers of remonstrance well is, of course, severely punishing corrupt officials. Don’t think that Shunzhi was gentle in governing the country and cared for the people, and that he treated corrupt officials the same way.]

[During the Shunzhi period, there was a "Gu Ren case". Gu Ren was originally a governor sent by Shunzhi to inspect all officials, but he broke the law knowingly. After the incident was exposed, Shunzhi was furious and sentenced him to death by crucifixion.]

Punishment?
Zhu Houzhao raised his head slightly after hearing this.

When Liu Jin was executed, he had studied all kinds of criminal laws and knew that this punishment was only slightly inferior to Lingchi. But both made the person being executed suffer enough before dying. The only difference was the length of the suffering.

But I really can't tell.
According to the records in this scroll, Shunzhi's administrative methods were very mild, unlike a fierce emperor. He actually used this kind of punishment, which obviously showed that he hated the governor very much.

What is crucifixion? In layman's terms, it means cutting the flesh off the bones, then cutting off the limbs, and after all this is done, slitting the throat and letting the prisoner die.

[Although this torture is not as cruel as lingchi, it will also cause great pain to the person being tortured. This shows how much Shunzhi hated corrupt officials. Although someone pleaded for mercy in the end and the punishment was changed to beheading, it is enough to show that Emperor Shunzhi would never tolerate corruption and bribery! ]

Humph, he died a good death! It was just too easy for him.
What Zhu Yuanzhang hated most in his life was corrupt officials. If this happened to him, he would never change the sentence.

When he was still an ordinary citizen, he was often exploited by corrupt officials. If he had not been unable to make ends meet, he would not have become a monk.
Although he was a sloppy monk, he was lucky to have a group of old brothers, and eventually he conquered the country and became the emperor. Now his most important task was to drive these remnants of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty out of the Central Plains.

The most important thing in the future is to lift the ban on sea trade, destroy the Japanese pirates, let the good things of the Ming Dynasty go out, and bring in high-yield agricultural products from outside. By the way, as long as it is good things, like that yapian, he must never let it enter his Ming territory.
If anyone dares to bring this damn thing, foreigners will torture him to death, and the Ming people will execute his entire family and exterminate all nine generations of his clan!

[Even though Emperor Shunzhi died after only eighteen years on the throne, and was only in his twenties, he left a valuable legacy for his son - a gradually stable Central Plains.]

[In addition, he also left his son a concept that although he could immediately gain control of the world, he could never immediately rule the world. This was not only a warning to Kangxi, but also to other emperors.]

You can conquer the world immediately, but you cannot rule the world immediately!
All the emperors had some understanding and fell into deep thought.

[It is difficult to conquer the world, and it is even more difficult to keep it. Even though Emperor Shunzhi did not have the brilliant civil and military achievements of Emperor Kangxi, if he had not laid the foundation for the Qing Dynasty's governance policy before him, the Qing Dynasty would have been the next Mongol Yuan Dynasty if it had only relied on military conquest! ]

[The Qing dynasty had ten emperors after entering the Central Plains and lasted for more than 260 years. After the Mongols entered the Central Plains, they also had ten emperors, but they only existed for more than 160 years.]

[This difference in concepts is also the reason why the gap between the two dynasties is so big. ]

The same ten emperors, the same foreign races came to rule the Central Plains. The Qing Dynasty lasted 260 years, while the Yuan Dynasty only lasted 160 years, a difference of 100 years? Were all the emperors of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty short-lived?
The emperors of all planes were shocked.

In view of the fact that these two foreign dynasties that entered the Central Plains were already in the late feudal dynasty, the emperors before the Yuan Dynasty began to speculate.

Qin Shi Huang: It seems that the Qing Dynasty is better at governing the country than the Yuan Dynasty.

Emperor Wu of Han: Sure enough, the northern tribes have not given up their determination to destroy the Central Plains. Now it is the Huns, then the Mongols, and then the Qing Dynasty. I didn't expect that after thousands of years, they finally succeeded. It seems that asking the Huns to move their royal court to the northern desert is far from enough!
Emperor Taizong of Tang: Now that all nations are paying tribute to us, I don't see these northern tribes having such intentions. However, our Tang Dynasty should be even stronger. The stronger it is, the less those tribes will dare to invade us!
Emperor Gaozong of Tang: It seems that I have to deal with Goguryeo first. Although Goguryeo is only a small country, it has been conquered many times since the Sui and Tang dynasties. If it continues for a long time, it will become a hidden danger.

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang: The Hu people have evil intentions. I must get rid of An Lushan as soon as possible.

Emperor Taizu of Song: Mongol Yuan? Isn't it Liao? Or is it Jin? Didn't Tianjuan say that it was the Jin who invaded Bianjing and captured Emperors Huizong and Qinzong? How could it be that the Mongol Yuan replaced the Song Dynasty? No, I must take back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun immediately!

Zhu Yuanzhang: Humph, this Manchu emperor is indeed better at deceiving people than the Mongols.

Wu Zetian looked at the scroll, but a trace of hesitation appeared on her face: It is difficult to conquer the world, and it is even more difficult to keep the world! Who should I entrust the Great Zhou to?
Thinking of this, she looked at Princess Taiping and said, "Taiping, who do you think should I let inherit the foundation of my Great Zhou?"
