The opening inventory of the top ten young emperors

Because no specific information was found before, Lei Xiaomeng’s previous statements about this matter were not particularly clear.
Now the "Prince" asked again. Lei Xiaomeng thought for a moment and replied:

[Reply 1@历史第一太子的大大 Regarding the cause of death of Empress Ma and Crown Prince Zhu Xiongying, there is no detailed record in historical materials. It is only said that they died of illness. ]

[Reply 2 continued. However, there are still some speculations about the cause of death of Empress Ma and Zhu Xiongying. Because Zhu Xiongying died very suddenly, and there is no mention of any accident in the historical records. He died of illness. ]

[Reply 3: It is not common for a child to suddenly fall ill and die within a few days, and it is a disease that the royal family is helpless to treat. Therefore, later generations speculated that Zhu Xiongying may have died of smallpox. ]

Smallpox? Smallpox again?
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

If his eldest grandson suffered from this disease, he really would have no way to help.
But how did Xiongying contract this disease when he lived in the deep palace?

Let’s think further, if his eldest grandson died, who would be the first beneficiary?
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but fall into conspiracy theories.

It seems that he has to clean up the people in the palace. Even if no one tried to murder his grandson, it is still a serious crime to neglect prevention. His grandson was infected with smallpox in the palace. Damn it!

[Reply 4: As for Empress Ma, she was so grief-stricken over her grandson's death that she fell seriously ill and passed away a few months later.]

[Reply 5: In fact, the upmaster wants to say one more thing. If Zhu Xiongying had not died in the th year of Hongwu, the history of the Ming Dynasty might have changed a lot. ]

[Reply 6: After Zhu Xiongying's death, not only did Empress Ma fall seriously ill, but even Crown Prince Zhu Biao fainted from excessive grief. Some people in later generations said that at that time, Crown Prince Zhu Biao had already planted the seeds of his sudden death.]

The deaths of his wife and Biao'er are actually related to the death of his eldest grandson?
Zhu Yuanzhang's face became increasingly gloomy.

It seems that cleaning out the palace servants is not enough, he must take precautions and make various preparations.
He also had to find a way to develop the cowpox that Tianjuan mentioned before.

But how can he get the secret recipe from the up master?
So he immediately thought of the Imperial Garden. When he was about to leave a message there, he saw that the emperors of all dynasties in the Imperial Garden had already been counted up to the Sui Dynasty.

But unfortunately, Emperor Wen of Sui shouted in the group for a long time, but failed to call the second-generation rich to come out and line up.
This made Emperor Wen of Sui, who had a lot of insults to say, very angry.

【@心力交昁的代目: Yang Guang, please come out to me. Do you feel ashamed to face me, so you dare not show up? 】

【@心力交昁的代目: Emperor Yang of Sui, you have brought shame to our ancestors. I have locked you up so that you can no longer harm our Sui Dynasty and the people. 】

【@心力交昁的首目: Ah, you rebellious son, are you afraid to see me? Come out now! 】

……

Emperor Wen of Sui shouted many times, but the "second-generation ancestor" never showed up, which made him even angrier.
Finally, Zhu Houzhao couldn't stand it anymore and said slowly:
[V@Super IQ, serious chuunibyou patient: The first generation uncle, I think he should be gone. ]

[@The exhausted first generation: What does it mean to be gone? ]

[V@Super IQ Chunibyo Disease Severe Patient: I remember the last time he appeared, he seemed to have said his famous saying, the death of the emperor or something like that. I guess that was when he was killed by the rebel army! ]

Zhu Houzhao's words reminded many people, especially the emperors who came in at the beginning of Tianjuan. After hearing his words, Emperor Wen of Sui no longer spoke in the Imperial Garden.

Fortunately, Qianlong spoke up in time to ease the embarrassment:
【@十全老人绘怪: Ahem, let's continue tracing back. Was there any during the Northern and Southern Dynasties? What about the Two Jin Dynasties? It seems that there was none. What about the Three Kingdoms? Was there any during the Three Kingdoms? Oh, it hasn't come yet. Then it's time for the Han Dynasty, so please...】

Just as Qianlong was about to invite Emperor Wu of Han, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly interrupted:
[@子控凶残老父: Grandma, how to prepare and use the cowpox that eradicated smallpox? Please give me a secret recipe! ]

Kangxi had just learned from Lei Xiaomeng the method of preparing and using cowpox, and was having people copy and transcribe it nervously. When he saw Dean Zhu asking, he immediately said:
【@全科学霸再活五百年: I just got it from Grandma, and I’m currently transcribing it. I’m almost done, and will send it to you later. 】

[@The cruel old father who controls his son: Thank you very much! ]
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect that Kangxi would respond to him. He was very grateful and hurried to thank him.

[@All Science Masters Live Another 500 Years: You’re welcome! If this method spreads sooner, it will protect the people sooner and save them from suffering from diseases! ]

Emperors of various dynasties nodded repeatedly after hearing this, some emperors even agreed deeply, and even Zhu Yuanzhang secretly admired him.

As for Qianlong, he immediately praised him:
【@十全老人绘怪: Grandfather Huang is wise and wise! 】

At this time, Tianjuan's reply to Zhu Yuanzhang was still in progress.

[Reply 7 continued. Zhu Yuanzhang first lost his eldest grandson, then his first wife, and finally even his crown prince. This completely disrupted his plan for the transition of power.]

[Reply 8: Zhu Yunwen became the crown prince. He was afraid that the ruler was weak and the ministers were strong, which was not conducive to the rule of the Ming Dynasty. That's why he became very irritable in the later period and punished many ministers. The most famous of these was the Lan Yu case.]

[Reply 9: If Zhu Biao was there, Zhu Yuanzhang would not have to worry about what would happen to Lan Yu, because Zhu Biao could suppress him. But Zhu Yunwen was different. He really had no way to deal with his uncle. ]

Zhu Yunwen suppressed Lan Yu?
Considering that Zhu Yunwen was only five or six years old and Lan Yuqu had already become a great general of their Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately understood something.

If Biao'er and Xiongying had really passed away, there would be few people in the court who could suppress him except the second, third, and fourth sons. So it was normal for me to do this at that time.

[Reply 10: Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to take down the arrogant Lan Yu, which ended up implicating many ministers. This is also the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang was criticized by later generations. ]

[Reply 11 continued. So, if Zhu Biao and his son had not died early, the history of the Ming Dynasty would have been rewritten, and the history of China might have been rewritten as well! ]

So that's how it is. No wonder later generations spread the story of burning the Qinggong Tower and saying that Zhu Yuanzhang was tyrannical. It turns out that these stories were inspired by this.
Therefore, his eldest grandson couldn't just die like this, and his son couldn't just die like this. He had to find a way to keep them alive and rewrite the history of the Ming Dynasty.

At this moment, another piece of news flashed out in the Imperial Garden. It turned out that Emperor Kangxi successfully placed the "Preparation and Cultivation Methods of Cowpox" in the Imperial Garden.
Kangxi had not expected that he could succeed, and was very relieved to see this.

[@All Science Masters Live for Another 500 Years: I have distributed this secret book to the garden, and those who need it can take it. ]

After a pause of a few seconds, the sky became lively again.

[@The cruel old father who controls his son: Thank you very much! ]

[@The Mysophobic Emperor Who Almost Became a Monk: Thank you]

【@Work hard and love your career: Thank you, Father! 】

[@Anti-wolf brother who loves changing his vest: Your Excellency is so kind, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness! ]

……

In the Imperial Garden, everyone was thanking Kangxi. Lei Xiaomeng's questions in the Heavenly Scroll continued, and now they had reached the last question:
[@Anti-wolf brother who loves changing his vest: May I ask if there are any secrets to having children in the future? ]

Well, this question is very down-to-earth, but as an unmarried older girl, Lei Xiaomeng didn't know how to answer it. So she could only throw out the relevant information she collected from the Internet to Kanglang brother.

[Reply 1 @Anti-wolf brother who loves changing his vest: Ahem, there is currently no solution to this problem. And there can’t be one, because it goes against the laws of nature.]

[Reply 2 to connect with the up master to know what you are worried about. In fact, I think you should start with the quantity. After all, the more you have, the greater the probability. ]

Song Renzong really wanted to say that he was already extremely tired and saying more would not help.

[Another point to reply 3 is that there is also a reason for the time. According to some records we have found now, the ancients seemed to have a misunderstanding about the time of successful conception, which is why it was difficult to have children.]

[Reply 4 to continue here. The uploader has a timetable circulating online. I will send it to Your Majesty later. I hope it will be helpful to Your Majesty. ]

Seeing this, Lei Xiaomeng herself was amused. She was so devoted to her role-playing that she even took care of the emperor's childbirth.
She had accidentally come across this timetable while surfing the Internet, and saved it because she thought it was interesting. It just happened to come in handy this time. Lei Xiaomeng immediately sent the information to Song Renzong, who opened it and saw a table.
Looking at the small words on the table, Song Renzong frowned and tried hard to identify: "Ovulation period, safe period...what do these mean?"

"Someone come!" He didn't understand why he simply stopped reading and immediately ordered, "Write it down first and hand it over to the Imperial Hospital for review later."
If it is helpful, let the concubines in the harem implement it according to this form. This time, he must give birth to a son no matter what!

After answering the five questions from last time, we have finally come to the main point of this issue, which is to review the merits and demerits of Emperor Kangxi.

[Okay, everyone, the comments have been answered. Now let's move on to reviewing Emperor Kangxi. First, let's talk about Emperor Kangxi's deeds when he was young. ]

[Among these deeds, the story that made Emperor Kangxi stand out for the first time in the court was the story of how he single-handedly captured the powerful minister Oboi.]

[This story even appeared in the extracurricular reading materials designated for elementary schools. It teaches children to be brave and wise, so even if it has been artistically processed, it is very limited. It actually happened in history.]

[The story is about a powerful official named Oboi who bullied the young emperor because he was young and acted recklessly in the court, making all the officials in the court dare not speak out. In the end, he even threatened the rule of Emperor Kangxi. So Emperor Kangxi used a trick to capture Oboi and imprison him.]

“Your Majesty, I never thought that this incident would be praised as a beautiful story by future generations hundreds of years later!” Nan Huairen praised in broken Chinese.
“A good story?” Kangxi shook his head. “It is a good story for future generations to talk about, but it also shows how worried and scared I was at that time.”

If he had failed that time, I'm afraid there would be no Emperor Kangxi today!
Kangxi's thoughts could not help but drift to the eighth year of Kangxi's reign. In that year, Oboi's ambition had reached the point of being undisguised, and he racked his brains to capture him.

"At the age of fifteen, Your Majesty was still a child. It was normal for him to feel fear and worry," Nan Huairen continued.
"Yes, the whole court is full of experienced people. Who would care about a child?" Kangxi smiled self-deprecatingly, with a hint of sarcasm flashing across his lips.

At first he wanted to seek external help, but except for the Empress Dowager, no one was willing to help him sincerely. Even Suksaha was forced by Oboi to be killed. This made him even more angry but dared not speak out.

So, from that time on, he knew that if he wanted to overthrow Oboi, he could only rely on himself.
Only when Oboi fell, those relatives and nobles in the court would see through him, and only then could his throne be secured and his father's unfulfilled wish be fulfilled.

"Children?" Nan Huairen thought for a moment, "I remember hearing someone mention that it was a group of children who captured Oboi."

"Of course, they are the children I personally selected to help me accomplish great things. They are all about my age. They are full of vigor and are fearless. When they heard that I wanted their help, they were all excited and much more responsible than those ministers."

After making up his mind, he gradually asked some young servants and eunuchs to accompany him at all times, and did not let them leave even when the ministers came to report on matters.

At the beginning, Aobai was indeed very wary, but first of all, they were all teenagers, so he felt that they were not a big threat to him, the first Baturu of the Qing Dynasty. In addition, over time, not only other ministers got used to it, but he himself got used to it too.

Thinking that the child was lonely in the palace, he recruited more playmates to accompany him. Naturally, he relaxed his vigilance against them.

"So what if he is young? Your Majesty, look at this scroll and see that all the emperors listed are young emperors. Each of these emperors has made great achievements. So, whether a person is successful or not has nothing to do with whether he is young or not?" Nan Huairen continued to praise.
Kangxi laughed out loud and said, "Master Nan, how come I didn't know you were so good at praising people? When I listened to your lectures before, I never heard you praise me."

"That's because, if I praise Your Majesty without restraint, then we will only have one-tenth of the time left for classes. One-tenth of the time is not enough, it is absolutely not enough!" As he spoke, Nan Huairen shook his head in distress.
Nan Huairen succeeded in making Kangxi laugh: "I thought you Westerners had the same unbending personalities as your knees, but it turns out you can still say nice things."

Nan Huairen's heart tightened, and he thought it would be better to stop talking about the bent knees for the time being, so he quickly changed the subject: "Ahem, Your Majesty asked me to come here today, did you specifically want to see the Heavenly Scroll?"
"Not entirely." Kangxi pondered for a moment, "As you said, young people have great potential, so I want to open an official school to specialize in science and engineering."

After saying that, he glanced at the Heavenly Scroll again: "Just now the Heavenly Scroll mentioned something like 'primary school', so I guess there should be universities and other higher-level institutions, so I also want to follow suit and see if I can cultivate talents specializing in science and engineering."

These days, the headless Buddha statues displayed in Tianjuan and the exquisite Buddha heads placed alone in the display cabinets stimulated him almost every day, and he knew he had to change.
Just like those teenagers many years ago, if he hadn't trained in advance, how could he have finally caught Oboi. So the study of science and engineering must be the same.

He didn't want his Qing Dynasty to be invaded by Western cannons and warships after several years.

Just like when he wanted to capture Oboi, he trained the young guards and eunuchs every day, and they trained for a long time, specifically practicing how to capture Oboi, the Baturu.

In addition to training, they just waited for the opportunity. Until that day, the opportunity finally came. Aobai had completely ignored the existence of these young men and went to him alone to report the matter. To be precise, he wanted to force him to use the jade seal.
.
However, just as Oboi was walking towards him step by step, and he thought he would let him do what he did before, he gave an order, and the young men immediately rushed forward and captured Oboi.

Although Oboi was the first Baturu, so what? An ant could kill an elephant, not to mention a human.
Although they are teenagers and not the strong and powerful Manchu warriors, they can still accomplish great things if they have more people.

In this way, he captured Oboi, and not only did he feel relieved, but the entire court also felt relieved. After reading out several major crimes of Oboi, he said that he would be imprisoned until he died in prison.

The past is like smoke. After this incident, although he successfully took power, this was not the end, but only the beginning...

Nan Huairen was not surprised at the opening of a science and engineering school. In fact, he listened to every issue of the Tianjuan review. When he heard that in the future the West... that is, his homeland could easily defeat the powerful Qing Dynasty with its powerful ships and guns, he was also surprised.

But at the moment, he knew that the monarch in front of him would never allow this to happen. However, considering that he was also from the West, he showed hesitation on his face: "Your Majesty, are you serious about letting me open a school of engineering?"

"What else?" Looking at him, Kangxi immediately understood and smiled, "You mean, you are a Westerner, and I opened the School of Engineering to prevent Westerners from invading my Qing Dynasty in the future. So you want to avoid suspicion, right?"
"I am ashamed!" Nan Huairen said this and wanted to kneel down.

Kangxi stopped him and said with a smile: "Why do you have to avoid it? I ask you, do you want to return to your country?"
"As long as Your Majesty allows, I am willing to stay with Your Majesty for the rest of my life." Nan Huairen immediately expressed his opinion. His family had already settled in the Qing Dynasty and it was impossible for him to go back.

"Then let me ask you again, whose official position do you hold?"
"I am naturally an official of the Qing Dynasty."

"That's it. Once you come to the Qing Dynasty, you are a citizen of the Qing Dynasty. Since you are an official of the Qing Dynasty, you must shoulder the responsibilities of an official. I let a citizen of the Qing Dynasty prepare a polytechnic institute for the people of the Qing Dynasty. What's wrong with that?"

Nan Huairen was shocked for a moment, then he knelt on the ground and said gratefully:
"Your Majesty! I, the Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, will not let you down and will teach more science and engineering students for the Qing Dynasty and China. I will ensure that the tragic events of the future will never happen again!"

Kangxi nodded in satisfaction and looked at Tianjuan again. Tianjuan mentioned less about his capture of Oboi, but mentioned his father's time, which made him frown.

[When he captured Oboi, Kangxi was less than 15 years old. It was from then on that Kangxi officially took power and began his vigorous political career. ]

[The story is simple and exciting, and many people can recite it by heart. Let’s talk about the background of this incident.]

[Speaking of the cause of this incident, we have to start with the last Emperor Shunzhi. Because he was controlled by Dorgon when he was young, and his eldest son was only nine years old, Shunzhi was afraid that Dorgon's abuse of power would happen again, so he wanted to choose a successor from among his brothers. 】

The Empress Dowager did mention this to him. She was mainly worried that the brothers were too young and that if they did, not only would the newly stabilized Qing regime be shaken, but more importantly, she was afraid that they would lose their lives.

At that time, the Qing Dynasty had just entered the country and ruled the country. There was no comparison, so he could only compare everything with the Mongols. And the age and situation he and his father faced at that time were exactly a replica of the Tianshun Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, right?
However, if their cousin succeeded to the throne, would they be safe?
[However, his idea was opposed by his mother, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, and the minister Johann Adam Schall von Bell even advised him that "a young ruler would certainly affect the political situation, but the transfer of the imperial lineage would also trigger new crises", so he gave up.]

[Among his sons, since the third son Xuanye had had smallpox and would not be at risk of being infected again, he chose Xuanye as his successor for the sake of safety.]

[Ahem, well, having said that, let’s take out the character “福” from this roundup and take a look around. ]

Kangxi laughed when he heard this. Indeed, if it had not been for this, he might not have been chosen as the third prince just based on his age. He really turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

Hongwu Dynasty.

Is this possible?
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned secretly as he looked at the heavenly scroll.

After all, the emperors of the Qing Dynasty were foreigners and did not follow the rules. So wasn't it the responsibility of the eldest son and grandson to inherit the family business?
For the eldest son in his family, that was completely legitimate. Only in this way could the family avoid internal strife over the successor.

However, when it comes to civil strife, Zhu Yuanzhang paused and curled his lips... Oh, it would be better if his eldest grandson hadn't died.
His death will cause chaos.

Therefore, even if he risked his life, he would never let this tragedy happen again.

And there is his old wife. Perhaps if her eldest grandson hadn't died, she wouldn't have died so early, leaving him all alone without anyone to talk to.

Thinking of this, he immediately looked at the clerk beside him and said, "How is it, have you finished copying? This is a secret book, it will be gone in a blink of an eye. If you miss a word, I will chop off your heads."

The clerks were all sweating profusely as they frantically copied the "secret book", and they were also terrified.
Their emperor was willing to chop off someone's head if he wanted to. They didn't want to lose their heads for no reason.
