Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

【Looking back now, the birth of simplified games such as pitching pots and chuiwan also marks that society is becoming more stable and people's spiritual needs are beginning to grow. From this perspective, it is undoubtedly a good thing.

But we have also said that in the feudal era, it is very easy for the upper to follow the lower. If the emperor has a preference, the ministers and the people will certainly cater to his preference and make it a trend. For example, although the emperor in the Tang Dynasty may not have this awareness, Xuanzong's personal endorsement of polo undoubtedly objectively promoted the martial spirit of the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, promoting the martial spirit a little too much is a later story.

Therefore, the problem of "Ming Xuanzong's Pleasure Picture" is what we said at the beginning. The things that Emperor Xuande enjoyed infinitely weakened the competitive attributes, leaving only the entertainment attributes, which really had no positive effect on the Ming Dynasty.

But, but, as we all know, Emperor Xuande was already the fifth emperor of the Ming Dynasty - or the fourth emperor, and he was inevitably affected by the inertia of the times in history.

Therefore, Emperor Xuande was undoubtedly unable to bear the pot that affected the Ming Dynasty's atmosphere.

Still because of the theorem that it is extremely easy for the upper to follow the lower in the feudal era, the one who really set the tone of the Ming Dynasty is of course Zhu Hongwu.

And when it comes to the events that had a great impact on politics during the Hongwu period, there is almost no need to hesitate, and these are also the main topics we are going to talk about today:

The Four Major Cases of Hongwu. 】

In the Guangzheng Hall, Zhao Kuangyin gently pressed the shoulder of his son beside him:

"Do you understand?"

Zhao Dezhao hesitated for a while, and then tried to whisper:

"I will practice polo after noon?"

Then Zhao Dezhao saw that his father's right hand immediately grasped the jade axe, so he hurriedly changed his words:

"I will never play pot throwing again, and I must shoot arrows every day to encourage myself!"

Zhao Kuangyin pulled out the jade axe, under the terrified gaze of Zhao Dezhao and the expectant eyes of Zhao Guangyi, he rubbed it twice and put it back.

In comparison, his mentality was relaxed. After all, he chose the crown prince himself, and from the scattered records of later generations, this son also had martial virtues and strictly observed the etiquette of a gentleman.

And now that he knew about the affairs of Emperor Hongwu, Zhao Kuangyin also reflected on this from time to time, and tried not to rush the education of the crown prince.

After all, later generations have made it clear that Emperor Hongwu came from a humble background and was one in a million, and the death of his crown prince was a factor in the strict requirements for the crown prince.

And apart from these, Zhao Kuangyin himself came from the army, experienced the affairs of the world and knew the battle formations, and experienced countless things before he got to where he is today.

Although De Zhao had been married for eleven years, his hesitation in the selection of the crown prince had caused him to waste nine years in the post of Guizhou Defense Envoy, and he could not be taught strictly due to his lack of experience.

So under Zhao Guangyi's disappointed gaze, Zhao Kuangyin shook his head and restrained his temper and said:

"I want you to remember the four words, the superiors should follow."

"The superiors should follow?"

"Yes, the superiors should do what the superiors do, and the subordinates should follow what the superiors do. This is the way of teachers and also the way to rectify the country."

Speaking of this, Zhao Kuangyin had a strange smile on his face. He remembered the Xuanwu Gate of the Tang Dynasty that was ridiculed by later generations, and also remembered that later generations said that he bullied orphans and widows.

But in the end he still shook his head, stood up and said slowly:

"As a monarch, you can play polo or not, just like Emperor Wu of Han was not good at military battles, but he could also talk about military affairs."

"When you listen to the future generations talking about polo, you must be able to hear the hidden meaning that the emperor must be diligent in horse politics... No, there is no need for any hidden meaning. The future generations have made it clear that horses are the only means of transportation and strategic...materials that we can choose at this time."

The words in the future generations are relatively difficult to pronounce, but Zhao Dezhao also listened very seriously at this time.

Immediately, I saw my father standing up and pacing, waving his hand and pointing at his bald uncle:

"As recorded in the future generations, when Guangyi was the emperor, he was angry about the defeat at Gaoliang River and killed you. Later, the Northern Expedition failed again and he blamed Guohua."

Master Kong Jiong immediately lowered his head, not daring to look at his nephew's eyes, but he clearly heard his nephew's sigh, and for a moment his heart was even more mixed.

Qian Chu and Li Yu, who rarely heard about this, had different expressions. Qian Chu's eyebrows almost rose to the sky, and he looked at Master Kong Jiong's bald head fiercely, and even wanted to pull him to ask for details.

Li Yu subconsciously turned his head to look at Cao Bin, the general who destroyed his Southern Tang, but from the side, Cao Bin's expression was calm, obviously he had already known it.

Prime Minister Zhao Pu smiled bitterly, but Zhao Kuangyin's face was full of indifference, and there was no extra expression on his face when talking about these things:

"The military is so weak that the literary style is overshadowing the military. Although the ambitions of the Han and Tang dynasties are often expressed, the behavior of suppressing the military is revealed everywhere. The territory is retreating southward step by step, and it is further away from the Han and Tang dynasties."

"Guangyi is like this, so my Song... is also like this."

At this time, the Guangzheng Hall was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard. Zhao Dezhao heard the hesitation in his father's words. After all, it was October of the eighth year of Kaibao, and there were only more than 300 days left before the day when his father died as later generations said.

So he took a step forward and said:

"My son, remember that you must not let your love of pleasure overshadow state affairs, and that you must practice both civil and military affairs without forgetting the complete achievements of the unification of the Han and Tang dynasties."

...

The noisy atmosphere in the Huagai Palace came to a temporary end.

The princes sat back in their chairs, and then they breathed a sigh of relief as they watched their father pull the chair closer to their mother so that they could talk in a low voice.

Often at this time, their father would temporarily turn a blind eye to them, so that the princes of the Ming Dynasty felt a little relieved.

Zhu Biao was still serious. He looked at the light screen and talked about the connection between a few entertainments. He also felt that he did not expect what he said.

Then I also focused on the words that later generations have repeatedly emphasized: "What goes above and what works below?"

Then a jumping voice directly jumped in:

"What's so difficult about this? It's like the eldest brother saw how his father managed politics, so he also learned how to manage politics. In the end, he was so stupid that he didn't even bother to shout. The result was great..."

The second brother and the third brother have never cared about government affairs. The fifth brother is obsessed with civil affairs and doesn't care about it. The sixth brother probably doesn't understand it at all, and the fourth brother is the only one who can do this.

Zhu Biao smiled and shook his head. He felt that he could not blame himself. After all, he had never seen other emperors with his own eyes. He thought that being a king requires such energy. Who would have thought that his father's energy would be commented upon by later generations? .

So he simply turned to discuss other matters with his fourth brother:

"Which polo pill is better?"

"Of course any one is good."

Zhu Di shook his head and his words were very clear:

"People have also said that when the world is peaceful, the people will inevitably have some spirit... Oh, it's just that the people in the warehouse are real and want to entertain and play. It's the same as in troubled times when no one has heard of books."

"Later generations also understand what they mean. There is nothing wrong with beating balls and throwing pots. You can't force girls and children to play polo for fun, right?"

"On the other hand, if those who are strong and strong are obsessed with beating balls and throwing pots instead of playing polo and drawing strong bows, then there will be a problem."

"So, brother, if you become the emperor..."

A smile appeared on Zhu Di's face:

"Just remember to advocate military drama but not help entertaining the drama."

Zhu Benben looked quite satisfied. After all, what his fourth brother said was exactly what he thought.

But then after hearing what the emperor said, his mood became a bit complicated and difficult to understand.

If he takes refuge and successfully takes over his father's empire, will he really be better off than the troubled Yongle Emperor?

While the two brothers were discussing, Zhu Yuanzhang comforted his sister and raised his head:

"Four major cases?"
