Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

After Zhao Kuangyin finished comforting Qian Chu, he began to feel a little confused.

As for the Yuan Emperor brothers, what does it mean to be "different from Zhao Da and Zhao Er"?

Previously, the descendants lamented the pain of losing their wives to the founding monarchs of the Tang, Yuan and Ming dynasties, but Zhao Kuangyin still remembers his wife, the He family, and only went to pay homage to the Wang family a month ago. Who has not felt the pain of losing a close friend?

Of course, what also made him heartbroken was his brother. Before, he really thought that his brother could be relied upon, but now...

For a moment, Zhao Kuangyin didn't know who to talk to about his miscellaneous worries.

But at the end, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly remembered something:

"Isn't the founder of the Tang Dynasty Emperor Gaozu Tang?"

…

In the Huagai Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little excited for a moment when he saw that the three kings of the Ming and Portuguese kingdoms were listed in later generations.

But after the blood cools a little, there is worry:

"We remember that Zhengde was the one who absurdly issued the ban on pigs, right?"

Queen Ma nodded lightly and said:

"Later generations will excuse it and call this order a fight with..." At this point, her voice became much lower: "Fighting with civil servants."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded. Struggles for power have always been common in past dynasties. But in this context, he saw a small country coming across the sea to do whatever he wanted. Then he looked at the Ming Dynasty he created, which had a vast territory but was busy fighting for power and not paying attention to border affairs. defenseless”.

A complex emotion immediately occupied his heart, as if he had worked tirelessly to mine forged iron and smelted a good sword. When he wanted to use it to achieve unparalleled achievements, he was killed fifty steps away on the battlefield. The absurd and unwilling feeling of being directly injured by the blunderbuss.

Driven by this mood, even if I heard later generations making fun of Mongolia's obsession with men and women, excessive drinking, and indiscriminate killing, I couldn't laugh.

He was even more familiar with the imperial examination method. In other words, before the imperial examination was launched in the third year of Hongwu, he had already studied the differences between the imperial examinations in Song, Jin and Yuan Dynasties in detail with the ministers, and had read the opinions on the imperial examination submitted by hundreds of officials and the people.

Therefore, Tomorrow tries hard to relax and comments from time to time:

"At the beginning of the resumption of education, the Hu Yuan court was still able to order half of the two lists to select scholars, but even so, the Hu people only needed 500 words to answer the policy, while the Han people wrote the policy at least a thousand words."

"At the end of the day, when Hu Yuan was in the imperial examination, only a few Han children were selected. We don't understand that those scholars who still think of Hu Yuan are good, are they just stupid, and still want to compete with the Hu people?"

Empress Ma pursed her lips and smiled, which meant that her husband now knew that he was the emperor and there were ministers present, so he knew how to restrain himself, otherwise he would definitely jump up and scold him.

But after complaining, she looked at her husband and admired:

"It would be great if our Hongwu Dynasty could produce two consecutive three-yuan winners in Hebei."

This idea couldn't be simpler. In recent years, there have been far fewer scholars in the North who have forcibly crossed the border to vote for Hu Yuan. However, there have not been many Northern scholars who came south to Yingtian Mansion to take the imperial examination. This shows that there are many Northern scholars. Scholars are still waiting and watching.

Under such circumstances, if there is a talented person in Beidi who can win three yuan in a row, it is impossible to say that Beidi's martial arts can flourish in one go.

But we can only think about this situation. In fact, the probability of it happening is not much higher than the sudden appearance of this light curtain.

"The Qian family is prosperous, but what does this father mean?"

"I'm afraid they are probably using this title to flaunt their achievements." Queen Ma guessed.

This makes sense. Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, his expression full of envy, and he stared intently as the portrait of a different style slowly faded away, and a safely stored iron coupon for an alchemy book appeared on the screen.

After hearing that this thing was actually related to him, Zhu Yuanzhang did not hesitate:

"Qian Yongqin, go check this name."

Jin Yiwei had written down this matter, but Queen Ma was a little curious:

"Chongba also issued iron coupons to avoid death, but none of them were left to future generations?"

"What this young man is talking about is an iron ticket that really helps people avoid death. He is not saying that this is the only one that will be saved for future generations."

Zhu Yuanzhang still heard this clearly, he pondered for a moment and analyzed:

"The Hu people who use the name Qing to gain power must be unwilling to break up with our Ming Dynasty easily. I am afraid that the family that has obtained our iron certificate will not be liked by the Qing people."

Hearing his father's mention of Hu Qing feel a little heavy, Zhu Biao simply smiled and said:

"The iron coupons from the former Tang Dynasty are still useful to my father, but Hu Qing is also stingy and doesn't recognize my father's iron coupons."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang put a smile on his face, nodded and said:

"Our Ming Dynasty inherited the Han Dynasty, and the Tang Emperor can be regarded as the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The elixir book of the late emperor must be accurate."

"Let alone our iron bond, as long as it is not involved in rebellion, how can we deny it?"

Li Wenzhong on the side smiled and said:

"This iron certificate can be passed down to future generations for such a useful purpose, so the three of us must tell our families to take good care of it and pass it on to future generations."

In the second year of Hongwu, His Majesty granted the title of Six Dukes and Twenty-eight Marquises, all of whom were given iron coupons to exempt them from death.

He and Li Shanchang Xu Da were both among the Six Dukes, and they both had iron tickets to avoid death.

[In fact, in 1314, more people in the Yuan Dynasty paid more attention to "Manager Yanyou" than to "Yanyou's restoration of science".

Manager Yanyou is a name summarized by later historians. The manager is not the manager we are familiar with, but means to calculate taxes and grains after checking the acres. To put it bluntly, he wants to re-measure the land.

For a dynasty in the feudal era, there were only two things that were truly lifeblood. One was measuring the land, and the other was counting the population. Only by mastering these two data can you be called a normal dynasty and have the ability to do so. When making development plans, after all, even if you live in a small household, you still need to know how many people in your family will cost, right?

But as we have said before, the essence of the "official promotion law" is to distribute the power of the emperor among local governments, which is naturally suitable for forming cliques to collude with each other. None of the officials in a locality were promoted by the imperial court, so no matter what you want to do Things are naturally extremely difficult.

Faced with Yuan Renzong's order to manage the land, the local powerful and powerful people colluded to conceal and falsely declare the acres of land, and put a large number of fields in the names of poor people.

The ultimate purpose of measuring land is naturally to collect taxes, so the local powerful and powerful people took Yuan Renzong's order to collect taxes and went to those poor people who were attached to the land to tax them.

The result of this was that the Cai Wujiu Uprising broke out in Ganzhou, Jiangxi the next year. Although it was eventually put down, Yuan Renzong knew very well that the land management could not continue.

Yuan Renzong, whose ambitions had faded, indulged in pleasure. Just five years later, Yuan Renzong, who had reigned for nine years, died of alcoholism at the age of thirty-five.

In fact, up to now, the heirs of the Yuan Dynasty have always been abnormal. Kublai Khan was the promoter of sinicization, so even if his son died, the throne would be passed to his grandson. However, the eldest nephew who ascended the throne was the emperor's grandson, and the eldest nephew ascended the throne after his death. The younger brother, and he also made an appointment with a younger brother, uncle, and nephew one after another. It can be said that it became a mess.

For Yuan Renzong, according to Han family etiquette and Kublai Khan's legacy, he should pass the throne to his eldest son. However, his elder brother had originally given the throne to him according to the agreement. Logically speaking, he should abide by the agreement and pass it to his eldest nephew. .

In the end, Yuan Renzong decided to drive his eldest nephew to another place and pass the throne to his biological son, Yuan Yingzong.

As a result, Yuan Yingzong was more reckless than his father. As soon as he came to power, he clamored for reforms, cut off officials, supervise lawlessness, protect the poor, and make Dayuan great again.

For the great Mongolian nobles, whether the Great Yuan Dynasty was great or not, the most real thing is that their rights have been violated. So after a simple conspiracy, a group of people implemented the tradition of the Mongolian nobles:

In September 1323, Mongolian dignitaries brought Yuan Yingzong and his prime ministers to justice, physically halting the reform, which was known in history as the Nanpo Incident.

At this point, the Yuan Dynasty was on the road to destruction and could no longer be reversed. 】
