Short video: Shocking the world

However, thinking of Hu Hai as the last resort, Li Shimin felt much better.

[“As soon as Li Tai was born, his grandfather Li Yuan named him Yidu Wang, which is a first-rank county king title.”]

[“At that time, Li Shimin was the King of Qin, and it was a favor for Li Tai to get a county king title.”]

[“In the second year, Li Tai changed from Yidu Wang to Wei Wang, from first-rank to first-rank.”]

[“After Li Shimin ascended the throne, Li Tai changed from Wei Wang to Yue Wang, and then from Yue Wang to Wei Wang.”]

[“In fact, this situation has something to do with the few good titles of Qin, Chu, Qi, Jin, Zhao, Wei, Yan, and Wu.”]

King of Han in the Warring States Period: What does it mean? The other six countries and Jin and Wu were all mentioned, but Han was not. Is the King of Han very embarrassing?

【“If the emperor favors a certain son, he will definitely want to give him a good title. The one who is not favored will have to give up his title. This person may be the emperor's brother, or a deceased member of the royal family. This was common in the Tang and Song dynasties.”】

“I remember that the King of Wei in the Tang Dynasty before Li Tai was Li Lingkui.”

“Who is Li Lingkui?”

“The nineteenth son of Emperor Gaozu of Tang, Li Yuan, and the half-brother of Li Shimin.”

“It’s normal. Ordinary people pay attention to the distinction between close and distant relatives, let alone the royal family!”

【“After talking about the prince, let’s talk about the county prince.”

【“In the Tang and Song dynasties and the later Ming Dynasty, not only the royal family members could be given titles. For the title of Prince of a County, important officials who have made contributions to the country can also be posthumously named Prince of a County. "】

【"As for the Yuan Dynasty, because the rulers were not from the Central Plains, there were too many Princes in the Yuan Dynasty, ignoring the taboos of the Central Plains dynasties. "】

【"In the Ming Dynasty, thanks to Zhu Yuanzhang, the princes of the Ming Dynasty could inherit the title, so the title of Prince was not changed as often as in the Tang and Song Dynasties. "】

"Thanks to Zhu Yuanzhang? Those vassal kings are like termites. The Ming Dynasty can fall, and they also have a part in the credit. If Zhu Yuanzhang knew about it, I wonder if he would regret it? "

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's mood was similar to that of Ying Zheng and Li Shimin just now.

【"What really troubled the Ming Dynasty was that there were not enough titles for the prince."】

【"When the names of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were used up, we used place names, such as Min and Xiang."】

【"When the place names were used up, we just randomly named them, such as Xing Wang and Fu Wang."】

【"As long as there is a character before Wang, it is a prince."】

【"In the Qing Dynasty, the titles of the princes of the Qing Dynasty were different from those of all previous dynasties. They have their own characteristics and are unique."】

【"Before that, you can answer the second question first. Which king has the best title?"】

【"The answer is Qin Wang."】

【"As one of the seven major powers in the Warring States Period, Qin later swept across the six kingdoms and unified the world. "Li Shimin and Zhu Chong are both legitimate second sons, and their status is second only to the crown prince. They are the Qin Wang of the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty respectively." "Putting Zhu Chong and Li Shimin together, although they are just saying that they are both legitimate second sons, I always feel that Emperor Taizong of Tang has been belittled!" "If it weren't for watching the videos of later generations, many people might think that Zhu Chong, the damn Qin Min Wang of the Zhu family, can be compared with Li Shimin." "Some people say that the Qing Dynasty was brutal and murderous, and some people say that the late Qing Dynasty was useless, but we have to admit that the Qing Dynasty was definitely the epitome of the imperial power system, and in terms of clan management, it was better than all previous dynasties." "Is this considered praising my Qing Dynasty?"

"It's not easy for future generations to say this, be content!"

["The royal princes of the Qing Dynasty had no fiefs, so they didn't have to go to certain places to harm the people. There was no need to give them titles like before, just auspicious and nice-sounding ones."]

["Even the way to distinguish the ranks of the princes no longer needs to look at the number of words."]

["For example, Prince Yong and Prince Shen, you can tell what rank they are as soon as you hear them."]

["The advantage of this is that it is very convenient. Whether the princes are promoted for merit or demoted for mistakes, their titles do not need to be changed. Just change the middle word."]

["In the Qing Dynasty, except for the iron-hat kings, the princes' titles could not be inherited. , and each generation will be downgraded by one level. ”]

【“Take one person as an example, Qianlong’s seventeenth son Yonglin. After Jiaqing came to power, he first named this younger brother the Prince of Qing, and later the Prince of Qing.” 】

【“If nothing unexpected happens, the lineage of Prince Qing will gradually decline.” 】

【“However, his lineage produced a capable person, Yixin.” 】

【“Yixin is Yonglin’s grandson, a senior official of the late Qing imperial family, and the first prime minister of the Qing Dynasty.” 】

【“As the saying goes, no one can help me achieve my ambitions, but I can climb to the top of the mountain by myself.” 】

“What a great saying, no one can help me achieve my ambitions, but I can climb to the top of the mountain by myself! Could it be that Yixin is the unicorn son of my Aisin-Gioro family?”

“What is his ability?? Why couldn't he save the Qing Dynasty? "

"The later generations are used to speaking in a sarcastic way! If I didn't know who this old man Yixin was, I would really be fooled by the later generations and think that he was a loyal and capable minister!"

["Yixin was initially named the General of the State. With his ability to climb and be greedy, his titles rose step by step. He was a Beizi and a Beile. Later, he was named Prince of Qing and Prince of Qing. In the end, he was even named the Iron Hat King by Empress Dowager Cixi."]

"Climb and be greedy? Haha, he is indeed a capable person!"

"This person is called the second most corrupt official in the Qing Dynasty. Is this a false reputation? ”

Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, Jiaqing and other Qing emperors looked unhappy.

They were wrong, they mistook Yixin as a ray of light for the Qing Dynasty.

This is not the son of the Aisin-Gioro family, it is a joke.

[“This lineage has used the word ‘Qing’ for generations, and there is no need to change it. Compared with the titles of previous dynasties, it is easy and simple, and there is no need to change it. As soon as you mention the title, people will know which lineage you are from.”]

…

[What food could Qin Shihuang eat? How does it compare with now? #Popular Science]

“The food in the Qin Dynasty is completely incomparable to that of later generations! It is even far inferior to that of my Ming Dynasty!”

[“Qin Shihuang ate worse than the beggars of today, is it true?”]

Qin Shihuang Yingzheng: ▼_▼

“The tyrant…”

“There is no need to ridicule this. If the tyrant ate worse than the beggars of later generations, then what about us? Aren’t we also worse than the beggars of later generations? ”

【“Let’s put it this way. Our meat now mainly consists of beef, mutton and pork.”】

【“In ancient times, cattle were used for plowing, and it was illegal to slaughter cattle for meat. As an emperor, Qin Shihuang should be able to eat beef occasionally.”】

【“These cattle may have died of old age or committed suicide.”】

“Committed suicide? There are such cattle?”

“For those big men to want to eat beef, a reason is enough!”

Cheng Zhijie: I understand this^_^

【“No one dares to give Qin Shihuang a sick cow to eat.”】

【“If you are a time traveler and travel to the Qin Dynasty, don’t even think about eating beef.”】

【“There is mutton in the Qin Dynasty, but mutton is not eaten casually. Only those with very good family conditions can eat it occasionally.”】

【“Note, it’s occasionally.”】
