Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

【Regarding the selection of candidates for the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty, we have long ago mentioned the problem of not setting mathematics, as well as the later case of the North-South list. There will be room for detailed description at that time, so I will not repeat it here, and still come back to the case of Hu Weiyong.

Wang Guangyang was sent out, the imperial examination was abolished, the recommendation channel was opened, and our little Hu had the final say in the Secretariat.

So what should we do next? Of course, just like the landlords treat their land, hold on to what they have and crave more.

Although he actually achieved the position of the sole prime minister, and also relied on cooking puffer fish to firmly grasp the stomach of Zhu, in terms of official position, Hu Weiyong was only the left prime minister, and there was still the possibility of a sudden airdrop of a left prime minister.

Therefore, in order to maintain his own power and status, Hu Weiyong had to ensure that all candidates for the left prime minister remained at the candidate stage.

Considering that it was the early years of Hongwu and meritorious service was still important, those who were qualified to be airdropped as the left prime minister could only be on the list of the great reward in the third year of Hongwu.

Among the thirty-six nobles, including six dukes, twenty-eight marquises and two barons, there are only three civil officials, Li Shanchang, Wang Guangyang and Liu Ji. Among them, Li Shanchang is considered Hu Weiyong's teacher and has retired due to illness. Wang Guangyang was pulled out by Zhu Yuanzhang because of the opening. The only one left is Liu Ji, who is also from eastern Zhejiang and can just check and balance the nobles in Huaixi.

So even though Liu Ji had already retired and fled when he saw the bad situation, Hu Weiyong still had his mind on him.

Liu Ji's courtesy name is Bo Wen. Among the historical figures in the early Ming Dynasty, Liu Bowen is the first person to be deified.

From the praise of "Zhuge Liang divided the world into three parts, and Liu Bowen unified the country", to the legend that Liu Bowen cut off all the dragon veins in the world to protect the Ming Dynasty, to the recent years, some people have dug out various prophecies from the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty and created "Song of the Baked Cake" which is said to predict the events of 600 years. Second creations can be said to be endless.

After six hundred years of continuous additions, Liu Ji, who originally regarded himself as a Confucian scholar, has now become a demon who can predict the future and cut off dragon veins in the folk, which is even more outrageous than Zhuge Liang's demon.

According to the current book "Liu Ji's Deeds", the source of Liu Ji's deification in later generations generally comes from "The Biography of Liu Gong, the Earl of Sincerity", which claims to be written in the 18th year of Hongwu, but some scholars have also examined this biography and suspected that it was forged, and it is very likely that it was not written during the Hongwu period, because there are too many twists and turns in it.

Regarding this, Qian Qianyi in the late Ming Dynasty, who left the allusion of "the water is too cold", also verified one in "Mu Zhai Chu Xue Ji".

It is well known that Liu Bowen served in the Yuan Dynasty in his early years, and later returned to his hometown in anger and was invited out of retirement by Zhu Yuanzhang, but it is clearly written in "The Biography of Liu Gong, the Earl of Sincerity" that Liu Bowen resigned from his post and served as the governor of Jiangnan by Li Guofeng, the governor of the Yuan Dynasty.

By comparing with the History of Yuan Dynasty, it can be found that Li Guofeng arrived in Chuzhou in the 18th year of Zhizheng, and stayed here for a year before leaving for Sanshan.

Why did he stay for a year? Because this year Zhu Yuanzhang first took Lanxi and then forced Wuzhou, and finally went to Jinhua to attack Chuzhou.

At that time, the one who faced Zhu Yuanzhang in Chuzhou was Shi Mo Yisun. If you open Liu Bowen's collection of essays, you will find that there are more than 80 poems dedicated and rewarded with this name, and most of them are concentrated in the three years of staying in Chuzhou.

In summary, Qian Qianyi concluded that when Zhu Yuanzhang led his army to attack Chuzhou in the 18th year of Zhizheng, he encountered Shi Mo Yisun sending Ye Chen and Hu Shen to fight against the Ming army. Although Liu Bowen was not on the front line of the Yuan army at that time, he must have been under Shi Mo Yisun's account.

As for whether Liu Bowen made suggestions for resisting Zhu Yuanzhang, Qian Qianyi believed that there should be some. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang was already famous at that time and had no shortage of people to rely on. There must be a reason for him to suddenly take the initiative to invite Liu Bowen.

It is the most appropriate explanation to know the enemy's name before the battle. 】

Kong Ming had never thought that he could hear his name here again.

It's just that it seems that this Liu Bowen who is listed with him...

"Second brother, later generations say that this dragon vein is the national vein? Then Liu Bowen is more like a demon than a military advisor!"

It can be heard that the person who said this was trying to lower his voice and whisper, but in the end, every word was heard by Kong Ming.

So Kong Ming knocked on the other person's head a little helplessly:

"Yide, don't talk nonsense. The younger generation also said that it was similar to me, but it was all later generations who took the rumors as true."

"In any case, this person can assist Emperor Hongwu in restoring China, which is absolutely a great contribution."

However, after hearing the name of "Zhuge Demon Dao" in later generations, Kong Ming also shook his head and looked at a face that didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Pang Tong on the side shook his head and whispered:

"Kong Ming's previous worries are true."

Xu Shu was a little confused when he heard this. Pang Tong recalled his words briefly and said:

"The cheaper the price of paper, the more people will be able to read. In the future, every family can write history and every household can write records."

"However, when people record events, they may flatter their ancestors or secretly criticize their enemies. They cannot write truthfully. In the end, the events that are passed down to later generations are inevitably very different, and it is difficult for later generations to argue about them."

Xu Shu was not self-conscious. Jue nodded and thought, but before he could figure it out, Zhang Fei stretched his head over again:

"Pang Junshi is joking. There are few historians in the future who can write truthfully. The Song Dynasty confused loyalty and treachery. So there is no need to be harsh on the people, right?"

This is true. Xu Shu also nodded vigorously:

"The more records we leave, the more our descendants will understand our current appearance. It is not a bad thing after all."

"Let's follow what Kong Ming said." Xu Shu suddenly smiled:

"Liu Bowen's suggestion to attack the Yuan people can be regarded as a great achievement. If Wing De can sweep away the outside of the Great Wall so that future generations will not have such troubles, how much power will it have?"

These words immediately made Kong Ming shake his head and smile. Such a light grasp of the gap in the words reminded him of the past when both of them were white and both were white. Unexpectedly, although they had experienced some twists and turns in the past few years, the two of them were still the same. It can be said that all the wishes of the past have been fulfilled.

However, Kong Ming also scratched his head at Xu Shu's words:

"It is difficult to sweep away the outside of the Great Wall, and it is even more difficult to control the outside of the Great Wall so that there will be no danger."

After all, whether it was the Turks in the Tang Dynasty or the rise of the Liao and Jin Dynasties in the Song Dynasty, or the Ming Dynasty seemed to have perished in the Northern Territory, it all illustrates the difficulty of conquering the Northern Territory and incorporating it into China over the past two thousand years.

Zhang Fei was eager to give this a try:

"Such injustice does this mean that his achievements are great? Moreover, I have the help of military advisors, and the military advisors have been able to provide detailed information for two thousand years. I will definitely be able to prevent this problem and prevent future generations from suffering. How can I call it difficult?"

Liu Xie saw and listened to Zhuge Liang's warm words, Zhang Fei's heroic words, the emperor's uncle's laughter, and General Guan Yu's encouragement. , see more and more clearly.

…

In Guangzheng Hall, Qian Chu scratched his head:

Why did he vaguely remember that the water was too cold, which seemed to be the words of the couplet when Ming died, and it seemed that it was not a good thing?

Isn't this Qian Qianyi also a descendant of our old Qian family in Qiantang?
