【"Attitude towards Life - The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty"】

Ok?
Emperor Yongle Zhu Di and others sat up straight all of a sudden. This music is actually about the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty? They must take a closer look.

People from other dynasties were also startled for a moment, but then they became more interested in watching the fun.

The first sentence is a lightning strike at the opening.

[I took pictures while the house was on fire~] The picture showed Zhu Di, the heroes who had made the Jingnan Campaign, and the burning Nanjing Imperial Palace.

Yongle Zhu Di's hand trembled, and Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji were stunned.

In the first year of Yuanshuo, Liu Che began to laugh wildly again.

[My life is a mess so I sleep~] Emperor Yingzong of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qizhen, was sleeping soundly in his tent on the grassland, while outside the tent were the Oirat soldiers patrolling.

In the 13th year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang crushed the teacup in his hand.

After watching the first two sentences, his group of smart sons had already guessed the essence of the song, and now they were carefully moving as far away from him as possible, trying to run away without being noticed.

[Not knowing when disaster is about to strike~] Ming Xizong Zhu Youjiao was in the Forbidden City, holding a complete set of carpenter tools, carving wood carefully.

[At worst I'll just hang myself~] Ming Sizong Zhu Youjian took off his outer robe, held a white silk in his hand, and stood in front of a crooked tree behind the Forbidden City, as if he was going to hang himself.

"Hang? Hang!" Zhu Yuanzhang, in the 13th year of Hongwu, said in a loud voice, full of energy and anger, "Has the Ming Dynasty reached the point where the emperor wants to hang himself? And, Sizong, Sizong!" Is this a good temple name? Thinking that this is the descendant of the fourth son, he gritted his teeth and looked for Zhu Di.

He discovered a large group of princes who were quietly moving to a corner, and he was so angry that his hair stood on end.

The princes: “…” They didn’t dare to move.

[Let’s postpone today’s matters as much as possible~ Let’s deal with tomorrow’s matters tomorrow~] Ming Shenzong (Ming Baizong) Zhu Yijun leaned lazily on his chair and waved casually at the ministers who were reporting to him.

[I am happy to live like this~ I don't take anything to heart~] Ming Shenzong Zhu Yijun leaned on the couch, as if he was thinking of something - the shadow of Ming Regent Emperor Zhang Juzheng was looking at him quietly from behind him.

"Your good descendant!" Zhu Yuanzhang burst out in anger, and said to Zhu Di, "We are diligent and hardworking, but Zhu Yijun is like this? He does nothing and doesn't care about anything? Shenzong! Baizong! This word "Bao" really suits him!"

He sneered several times and said, "And this Shezong, how come we don't know that there is a word 'She' in this temple name? His surname is Zhang, not Zhu! Could this be the prime minister that your cabinet has created?"

Zhu Di looked up at the sky, his feet still moving quietly.

[Stressful but not irritable~] Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Zhanji, was enthusiastically fighting crickets in the palace.

[If I can't get through, I'll take a detour~] Ming Xianzong Zhu Jianshen and Concubine Wan complained incessantly.

[You're calling me a joke~] Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houcong, sat in front of the alchemy furnace, with a calm expression and a peaceful breath, and he turned a deaf ear to Hai Rui's advice outside the palace.

[If you hit me, you have to take out money~] Ming Guangzong Zhu Changluo was stunned when he was hit by a stick.

The sixteenth year of Yongle.

When Zhu Di found Zhu Zhanji playing with crickets, he just looked him up and down and said nothing. After all, on the one hand, the grandson did not have this hobby at the moment, and on the other hand, compared with the previous emperors, just playing with crickets was not a problem at all. Oh, it was nothing for Xianzong and the imperial concubine to complain.

Until Ming Shizong Zhu Houzhao.

"Alchemy?!" Zhu Di was speechless. He didn't expect that some of his descendants actually believed in Taoist elixirs. That was not all. The meaning of watching miracles was that he made elixirs himself? Throughout history, except for the emperor named Xiao who became a monk, was there any emperor who made elixirs himself?

Oh, I've never seen someone being hit by a stick before...

When people from other dynasties in time and space saw this, they also felt that their views were cleansed. Every emperor of the Ming Dynasty was very distinctive!

[Say what you want to say and do what you want to do] Ming Muzong Zhu Zaigui was taciturn and silent in the court, and he mostly let go of government affairs.

[I am happy to live like this~ Nothing can defeat me~] Emperor Wuzong of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao, rode a steed and led his troops forward. Then it turned into Zhu Houzhao holding a white leopard and having fun. Finally, it was the shadow of Emperor Xiaozong of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youtang, who silently watched him.

〈Shen Shixing: Your Majesty, it’s time to go to court

Zhu Yijun: I won't go

The next day

Shen Shixing: Your Majesty, it's time to go to court

Zhu Yijun: No
Day Three

Shen Shixing: Your Majesty...

Zhu Yijun: My dear Shen, there is no need to say more
SH:6
Ministers: 6
Zhang Juzheng: The emperor's daily affairs of state [eye-catching]
Until I hadn't been to the court for more than 20 years.
Zhang Juzheng: I will die with my eyes wide open...

Shen Shixing: (so angry)

〈Let’s think about this in a different way. If Wanli had challenged Zhang Juzheng to demand that the emperor hand over power, maybe the Ming Dynasty would have become a constitutional monarchy? (The worst part is that Wanli might have agreed to this, given his personality.)〉

〈Yongle Zhu Di: I took photos when the house was on fire
Orthodox Zhu Qizhen: My life is in chaos, so I sleep

Jianwen Zhu Yunwen: Don't know when disaster is coming

Chongzhen Zhu Youjian: At worst I will hang myself
Jiajing Zhu Houcong: You think you are joking when you scold me
Zhu Changluo of Taichang: If you want to hit me, you have to pay money

Wanli Zhu Yijun: Today's affairs can be postponed as long as possible, and tomorrow's affairs can be dealt with tomorrow.

Zhengde Zhu Houzhao: I am happy to live like this, and I don't take anything to heart

——Excerpt from NetEase Cloud Music user Qinhuai Xinke〉

I add
all: Life must have an attitude
Attitude depends on people

Zhu Yunwen: A small matter

Don't torture yourself

Zhu Yuanzhang: Life is bound to experience ups and downs

Zhu Jianshen: There must be a way out when the car reaches the mountain

Happiness is the most precious thing
all: Life must have an attitude
Attitude depends on people

Zhu Youtang: Life wants me to show weakness, I just smile and brush it off

Zhu Qiyu: Life is bound to experience ups and downs

Zhu Zaihou: All roads lead to Rome

Every difficulty is overcome.

The thirteenth year of Hongwu.

Zhu Yuanzhang, his sons who had huddled together in the corner, and his ministers who had sat obediently and quietly by the side looked at each other silently.

No one knew what to say, what to say to break the suffocating situation without diverting the emperor's hatred.

Thus, this suffocating atmosphere continued until Zhu Yuanzhang spoke.

"Look, each of our Ming emperors really has his own characteristics." He said in a calm tone, without any anger.

Yes! It's so unique! Everyone else responded in their hearts and roared. But no one dared to really say anything.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed: "Why are you all silent? We are not going to eat you. Just say what you need to say and whatever comes to your mind."

Seeing that no one spoke, Zhu Biao could only speak up himself: "Dad, our Ming Dynasty has at least been around for nearly three hundred years. As for the problems pointed out by the miracle, perhaps it was because of the mistakes in the later education methods that led to the emperors...each having their own characteristics."

Seeing that their eldest brother had made the first move, the other princes followed suit: "Yes, father, look at us, we are all fine, which means that our Ming Dynasty is definitely good, and that it has lasted for three hundred years, which also means that we have done nothing wrong. It can only be that in the process of inheritance, the princes' studies, living environment, etc. have changed, which led to the emperor's problems."

It really has nothing to do with us!

"Well, that makes sense." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and agreed with his sons. But in fact, he had already decided to update his son's education policy again. This time he would carefully consider and select the best education method, and then strictly require future generations to implement it, so as to avoid the emergence of those unreliable emperors.

As for the objects of education, not only the little princes, but also the older sons in front of him have to go through the process all over again. Only in this way can the education system be implemented and the education effect be consolidated, to prevent these sons from doing anything inappropriate in private.

The princes who were secretly rejoicing for having escaped the disaster did not know that their last good days were about to end, and they were about to usher in a new type of father and education that would push their children to success.

As for the rest, Zhu Yuanzhang had already come up with a wave of conspiracy theories. He combined the emperor's incompatibility with the power of the civil officials and came up with his own reasons for the emperor's demise and the Ming Dynasty's demise.

Of course, they are worthy of being father and son.

In these two aspects, Emperor Yongle Zhu Di was exactly the same as his father. They both planned to re-educate their children and conspired to control the civil service.

As for other dynasties, they really enjoyed eating a lot of melons, and the melons were big, sweet, fragrant and crispy, truly a rare and good melon.

After all, the emperors of the entire Ming Dynasty were quite explosive and distinctive in the history of China.

[This episode of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di has ended. See you next time. 】

Tang Dynasty, the third year of Zhenguan.

Li Shimin first decided with everyone on the priority of firearms research and development, and then began to think about the imperial examination.

The imperial examination system is not new. It was first established during the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian. Although Emperor Yang of Sui did not take part in personnel matters, he still made some achievements in this matter.

Li Shimin himself was also very interested in the imperial examination. Even if the miracle did not appear, he would have further reformed and improved the imperial examination. The appearance of the miracle made him more determined. Moreover, since he ascended the throne, he has begun to try to use the imperial examination to recruit officials.

Seeing his thoughts, Du Ruhui shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the world has just been settled, and we have to fight the Turks. The reform of the imperial examination can be postponed to avoid shaking people's hearts." He didn't say it clearly, but everyone knew what he meant - finish the external affairs first, and then deal with the internal affairs, so that those noble families won't make trouble at this critical juncture! Even if it doesn't shake anything, it will still be troublesome.

Ming Dynasty, the 13th year of Hongwu.

After the miracle disappeared, the first thing Zhu Yuanzhang did was to instruct Zhu Biao: "Biao'er, you must take care of your body. Don't overwork yourself. If you feel unwell, see the doctor immediately..."

Zhu Biao responded with a smile.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned to Zhu Di and said, "Fourth Brother, you stay in the palace first, and we will discuss the matter of enfeoffment later. Let's call your second and third brothers back first."

Seeing that Zhu Di also nodded in agreement, he turned to the ministers.

First he said to the generals: "You must also take care of your health. In the future, there will be many places in the Ming Dynasty that will need you." Before the generals could respond with tears in their eyes, he continued, "Also, your children and grandchildren must be well educated and allowed to experience the real world, otherwise they will either be absurd and dissolute or just talk about it on paper and ruin the family business."

The generals knew that he wanted to have qualified generals to fight in the future without having to rely on the emperor to go into battle himself. They all took the order seriously and secretly decided to send their children and grandchildren to the nearest serious combat team for training when they returned.

The civil officials came next: "We all know your contributions, and we also know who you are." He first praised them to make them feel at ease, and then said, "We also know that some of you have connections with those sour-minded people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. We will not make things difficult for you. You can convey our intentions to them. Either you make a good contribution to the Ming Dynasty - of course, not the kind of contribution that will end with your death, or let us help them to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty in advance."

The civil officials all nodded in agreement. After all, the emperor had not included them in the list, and it seemed that they would not be implicated when dealing with those people. This was good. But they still felt aggrieved - Shenji had said that Taizu had so many unreasonable systems, so how could all the problems of the Ming Dynasty fall on us civil officials? Without us, how could you govern the world? !
But they know that they can't argue with Wansui. He will convince you physically before you convince him.

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji and said, "You two go, reflect on yourself, write down your thoughts, and let me see what you have learned over the years."

After the two men left, he ordered the eunuchs, "Go, call all the civil and military officials and nobles above the second rank in Beijing to come to the palace, especially those who followed the Jingnan Campaign. Call those in the cabinet as well."

The eunuch took the order and left. He then said to another eunuch, "Call over here those eunuchs who have experience in sailing and those who have joined me in the Jingnan Rebellion."

Song.

Zhao Kuangyin had no policies to implement for the time being. His first task was to figure out which of his prodigal sons had inherited his throne and ultimately led to the downfall of his Song dynasty. (Although Zhao Kuangyin originally wanted Zhao Guangyi to be his heir, his mind changed when his son grew up.)
Zhao Dezhao and Zhao Defang dared not move and trembled with fear.

Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Guangmei watched the fun from the sidelines and offered some suggestions from time to time.

Han Dynasty, the first year of Yuanshuo.

The ship officer and the Shaofuqing whom Liu Che had sent to summon earlier had arrived and were waiting for his instructions respectfully.

"I asked you to come here to ask about the Han Dynasty's shipbuilding technology. Can it be used to sail far out to sea? If not, given time and money, can you build a suitable ship? How long will it take?"

The ship officer did not say anything, so the Minister of the Imperial Household bowed and asked, "I wonder where your Majesty is going when you say you are going on this long journey?"

Liu Che thought about it and decided that it would be better to get money first from a closer place: "It's Japan."

The ship officer replied: "I need to test it and then give your Majesty a reply. But if a new ship needs to be built, it will take a long time."

Liu Che nodded. His purpose this time was to let these two people know about this matter and work hard for it: "I know about it. I hope to get good news as soon as possible."
