Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

"Isn't this "Ancestor Instructions of the Emperor Ming" our "Ancestor Instructions Record"?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's mind turned quickly and he realized it almost at a glance, so the Emperor of Heaven spoke plausibly:

"How come our ancestral teachings are useless?"

"The teachings of uprightness can be used as lessons for future generations!"

Seeing her husband's proud look, Queen Ma smiled and shook her head.

In fact, although neither she nor her sons felt that the "Ancestral Instructions" could achieve the results expected by the Emperor of Heaven, these objections were destined to have little effect in the face of her husband's insistence.

But it's useless, and the husband will probably still be a little concerned in his heart. Just like when he went to court, he would sometimes suppress his sullenness and come to the harem to talk to her out of dignity. These objections that were not pleasant to the ears were also suppressed in his heart.

And now Zhu Yuanzhang is inevitably proud, just like his sons who worked hard to prove that they were right when they were young.

"Okay, okay, after I get married, I will never say anything wrong with our Ming Dynasty's treasured teachings."

Hearing the Queen's assurance mixed with a smile, Zhu Yuanzhang paused for a moment with a proud expression, coughed lightly and said:

"That's not the case. We also know and listen, and believe and believe. My sister is our female Zhuge, so of course it makes sense."

"As for Biao'er and you guys..."

The princes looked at me and I looked at you, and then they heard the father’s calm and calm lecture:

"You should read more and discuss less about the teachings. If you have any questions, please come to us for advice."

"All of them are based on our experience in life, and if we follow them and abide by them, this is a blessing that future generations will find hard to find."

The princes bowed their heads obediently and obeyed the order, but Zhu Biao felt that later generations would probably refer to this ancestral precept as historical data, and may not really think it was correct.

Moreover, it has been said that the words "Yuan Yikuan lost the world" are only found in the ancestral instructions recorded in the seventh year of Hongwu. The implication is that there are later versions of the ancestral instructions recorded, and this sentence is not included in them. The underlying meaning is worthy of consideration.

But his father is obviously in high spirits at the moment, and Zhu Biao does not intend to touch this bad luck, but instead changes to:

"Later generations said that governing a country means governing officials, and my sons and ministers feel that it is similar to my father's administration."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, looked up at the shadows on the light screen, and said slowly:

"Those who destroyed the Yuan Dynasty were rebels. Later generations called them peasant uprisings. In the final analysis, they were the common people."

"Whether the officials govern the country clearly or not is related to the livelihood of the people."

"If the world is in peace and prosperity, with enough food and clothing, who will join the rebel army to fight for their lives? Why is our Ming Dynasty so unstable?"

"The people's heart is the heart of the world, which is where the destiny lies, and it is the destiny that I have inherited."

Zhu Yuanzhang spoke very slowly, pausing from time to time as if he was thinking. However, Zhu Biao quite agreed with these words, but at the same time he was inevitably thinking:

So with the demise of the Ming Dynasty, did we lose the aspirations of the people?

Zhu Di also raised his head and thought for a moment, and then said:

"Dad, these words are not in the ancestral injunctions. Are you just thinking about it now?"

The Great Tomorrow temporarily restrained his eagerness to move his right hand and said angrily:

"Why are you anxious? It will be in the ancestral instructions tomorrow."

"When the time comes, we will be the first to test the fourth child's homework!"

Zhu Di's face suddenly turned pale:

"Dad, the defense of Peking is very important. I am afraid that I will go north with the general..."

But this statement was declined by Emperor Hongwu in an understatement:

"Without you in Peiping, our Ming Dynasty cannot be destroyed. Let's celebrate the reunion year in Yingtian Mansion first, and then worry about other things."

Does that mean you still have to be busy with schoolwork during the New Year? The fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty suddenly wanted to die.

…

"The breadth of Meng Yuan is almost similar to that of Liu Jiyu."

Pang Tong couldn't help but comment:

"Being lenient to the great surnames caused the head of Guizhou to suffer chaos, and Duke Xuande gained the hearts of the people of Yizhou."

After hearing what Pang Tong said, Guan Yu rarely commented:

"At that time, I was in Jingzhou and saw a letter from my brother saying that the military advisor would govern Yizhou with severe punishments and laws. At that time, I thought that the military advisor would govern the people with strictness. Later, he only focused on the big surnames."

"It has been a long time since Guanyuan died. It is now clear that the military advisors are as strict with the common people as they are with the common people. The combination of strictness and leniency has led to governance, so that all the merchants in Jingzhou spread the name of Yizhou governance. I really want to... …”

Before Guan Yu could finish speaking, the impatient Zhang Fei said:

"Now that Cao Cao has been captured, the world is about to be in jeopardy. Why don't my two brothers and other military advisors go to Chengdu for a while when the war breaks out?"

"When the time comes, I am willing to lead the horse and punt the boat, so that my second brother and Military Advisor Xu can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Bazhong."

I have to say that Zhang Fei’s proposal was quite tempting, but in the end Liu Bei sighed with a smile:

"Now that the world is about to be decided, it becomes even more difficult to relax and... wait for another two years."

Guan Yu stroked his beard and sighed after being fascinated for a while:

"Nowadays, when it comes to big and small matters in Jingyu, don't talk about X and Yuan Zhi. Yide thinks he can stay out of it?"

The topic returned to the present again, Kong Ming shook his fan and said with a smile:

"Governing things is nothing more than emotion and law."

"To be tolerant to the common people is to be tolerant to the people. It is better to strictly enforce the law than to be tolerant to the common people. This is the way to be tolerant to the people."

"The combination of generosity and violence means that officials use tyranny. Only in this way can we be lenient to the people and thus help the world."

Seeing Liu Bei and his subordinates talking and laughing, Cao Cao subconsciously looked at his civil and military personnel.

Xiahou Dun's face was full of anger, Dong Zhao was still unwilling, Liu Ye's face was distorted, and Xun Yu's face was expressionless and his posture was meticulous.

Xun You was also looking at him at this time, and when their eyes touched, they could read each other's bitterness.

【For China, Qin laid the foundation, Han united the nation, Tang created the height, and Song made up the elegant poems.

The Ming Dynasty took this pile of mud that had been chopped by the Hu people for hundreds of years and mixed it with the blood of the Hu people and kneaded it again.

If there were no such dynasty, perhaps we would look at Qin, Han, Sui and Tang in the same way as the Turks look at Byzantium, or like today's Russia looks at Kievan Rus.

The decline of Han may have to be counted from the An-Shi Rebellion, and at that time, foreign history books would at most sigh:

"This great nation that once created glory was eventually buried under the sea of ​​Yashan with their civilization under the attack of the Mongols, just as Constantinople fell into the hands of the Turks."

At that time, the achievements of Qin, Han, Sui and Tang could only lie in the corner and slowly turn yellow, and finally with a gust of west wind, they fluttered like a pile of loess that no one mourned. The book of history turned a page and shook itself, and this pile of loess covered by the blanket was forever fixed there.

For this regime, the Yuan Dynasty was too ignorant, the Song Dynasty was too biased, and the Tang Dynasty was too old. The political, economic, and military structures inherited by the ancestors had reached the point where they had to be changed, but there was no perfect experience to learn from.

At the same time, the former Song Dynasty was destroyed, the north and the south were lost, and the rivers became natural barriers to separate the north and the south. The mess left by the ancestors also fell on the shoulders of this regime.

Carrying the long-yellowed brilliant history in his arms, the thorny thorns hidden in the darkness were everywhere in front of him.

This regime, which still had glaring scars on its body, stepped barefoot into this darkness. 】
