Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

There was an uncomfortable silence in the Canopy Hall, and Queen Ma also sighed.

Xu Da and Li Wenzhong knew how to take matters into their own hands, while Li Shanchang and Dai Sigong were not qualified to comment on such matters.

The always fussy Laosi hasn't come back yet, probably because he wants to avoid Chongba's wrath. He said he was going to get some fruit but he was probably full.

The second and third children talked softly but kept silent, so the palace fell into an unspeakable silence. Only the west wind blew up the temperatureless sunshine from time to time, splashing a little into the palace door and causing a whine.

So the Empress of Ming Dynasty finally got a little impatient and said politely:

"I don't understand the changes in the legal system, but now Chongba has both the gains and losses of future generations as outsiders, and we can hope that future generations will understand the successes and mistakes of Hongwu."

"Having learned from these two things, how can we not make it a blessing to the Ming Dynasty, supplement its achievements and avoid its mistakes?"

Zhu Biao was somewhat impressed when he heard this. To be honest, in the early years, the person who studied the most in their family was his mother.

According to his father, he was taught reading by his mother in his early years. It was not until there were more capable people in the house that this job was divided among many people.

Just like my mother's words are very good now, if it were my father who would have been drafting for a long time, and based on my understanding of my father, I would probably have to interact with my mother at this moment.

"We know what my sister said, but abolishing the prime minister system is not to satisfy our selfish desires..."

Hearing that his father suddenly stopped before he finished speaking, Zhu Biao poked his head for a moment, and as expected saw his smiling mother holding her father's waist with her hands.

"Let's talk about taking office in future generations. Is it possible that Chongba can manage the Ming Dynasty and still manage future generations?"

"I think that instead of complaining about having to deal with more than five hundred things every day, it is better to use this energy to find ways to manage government that can be followed by my descendants."

Empress Ma was inevitably a little emotional as she spoke, which made Zhu Yuanzhang a little short of breath. Previously, he thought that if he could do something, his descendants must also be able to do it, so he nodded:

"certainly."

…

In Ye City, Liu Bei and Kong Ming looked at each other.

Then Kong Ming smiled slightly and Liu Bei laughed, but neither said a word, which made Liu Xie a little curious.

Perhaps it was in harmony with this laughter. He looked at the civil and military officers under the imperial uncle's command, and some smiled while stroking their beards, or smiled with emotion, or smiled at each other in the same way.

This made Liu Xie suddenly remember General Zhang Yide's boast just now:

The only person who can be called one of the same figures through the ages is Zhuge Kongming.

Before, Liu Xie was still a little doubtful as to why Zhuge, who had a crown-like face, had a better reputation than other virtuous ministers, but now he had a vague understanding, so he praised:

"How lucky the Han Dynasty was to have the emperor's uncle, and how lucky it was that the emperor's uncle was to have Kong Ming. The emperor's uncle and Kong Ming had similar interests, and they will be a good story in the history of future generations."

Faced with such praise, Liu Bei and Kong Ming were somewhat reserved.

So Zhang Fei stood up without hesitation:

"That's right, my eldest brother's tomb is built in the military advisor's temple. The story will be passed down through the ages!"

"But your Majesty doesn't know that in the history of later generations, my eldest brother is not so lucky to have a military advisor as the prime minister... Hey, why are you stopping me? Your Majesty will know sooner or later."

After forcefully pushing his third brother back to his seat, Liu Bei smiled awkwardly:

"What Bei did was just not forgetting his surname and his ancestors; what Kong Ming did was just a matter of great luck to the great Han Dynasty."

Kong Ming was already immune to these words. He just stared at the light screen intently. Suddenly, he remembered the name the light screen had called everyone in this hall a long time ago, so he also sighed softly:

"A frustrated person is not disappointed."

…

In the Manlu Palace, Li Shimin paid the least attention to what the time curtain said.

He even turned to Li Chengqian and said:

"I have discussed with my ministers the former Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty before. What did Cheng Qian say? Do you still remember?"

The Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty nodded vigorously. He was not forced to read what Aye said before. But now that his mentality has changed, Li Chengqian is very interested in chasing his father, so the records about Aye have been found in the past two years. Read it carefully.

Then he recalled something and said:

"Aye said that the former Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty had an observant nature but was unclear about his intentions. He was suspicious of things and feared that his ministers would not believe him. He made decisions on his own and was laborious and laborious. The courtiers did not dare to speak out, but they immediately accepted his orders."

Li Shimin nodded and sighed:

"How similar is it to Emperor Hongwu?"

For Li Chengqian, it was quite clear to hear his father's words come true in later generations, so he admired him even more:

"Aye once said that the day will judge ten things. Those who are successful will be good, and those who are not successful will be harmed. Day after day, month after year, those who are not successful will increase. There are so many perversities. Isn't this the path of self-destruction? Did Emperor Hongwu never read Aye? Yes?"

The Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty thought it was very clear at this moment that Emperor Hongwu made more than 400 things in a day. Even if he succeeded in a hundred for a long time, there would be five mistakes and omissions every day, and nearly two thousand mistakes and omissions in a year. , if multiplied by the number of years, the numbers become even more frightening.

At this moment, he understood the purpose of arithmetic, and the ratio of these numbers was quite clear.

This is in line with the assertion of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty in Aye's Commentary:

There are so many things going on in the world, and it is necessary to entrust hundreds of officials to ensure smooth operation. How can everything be tied to one person?

Li Shimin became increasingly satisfied with Li Chengqian's awakening:

"In the future, the territory of the Tang Dynasty will be thousands of miles away. The orders from Hebei cannot be carried out in the Western Region, and the people in Mobei don't know the South China Sea. The emperor needs to employ people to grow in order to make the talents suitable."

"Remember to take this as a lesson. Just like Chengqian who lived in Guanzhong of the Central Plains for generations, how do you know the style of the South Vietnam and the Western Regions? Wouldn't it be ridiculous if I asked you to make a decision again?"

Li Chengqian nodded and then suggested:

"Why don't you advise the Hongwu Emperor?"

But unexpectedly, Li Shimin did not comment on this:

"How can the emperor who holds all the power be as open-minded as me to accept advice? It is better to wait for future generations to point out his mistakes, and then I will make supplements to correct his way of governing the world."

Li Chenggan was more and more impressed.

[And Zhu Biao died of exhaustion, and the first one to bear the brunt of the misfortune was Lan Yu, which is also the Lan Yu case parallel to the Hu Weiyong case.

Often when talking about the middle period of Hongwu, it is generally difficult to have a specific impression, that is, the stage change of Zhu.

Here, it is better to sort it out by the way, or the Hu Weiyong case. The data left by the Ming Dynasty itself said that more than 30,000 people were killed before and after the Hu case, which is quite shocking.

But the Hu Weiyong case started from the 13th year of Hongwu, and successively experienced the rebellion of Xiao Hu, the Japanese, the Tatars, etc., and 30,000 is the total number of these.

And if you count carefully, it is not difficult to find that Zhu had a good temper before the Li Shanchang case.

For example, in the 13th year of Hongwu, the nine clans of Hu Weiyong were wiped out, while Chen Ning Tujie and several others only lost their heads, and there was no record of their family members being convicted.

In the 18th year, someone reported that Li Cunyi had previously hooked up with Hu Weiyong, but Zhu Yuanzhang did not do anything and even issued an edict to spare his life.

This temper lasted until the 22nd year, which I would like to call Zhu Yuanzhang's first stage.

In the 23rd year, Li Shanchang was convicted and seven founding marquises were killed in succession. This can basically be regarded as the first purge of the founding nobles, with a more obvious flavor of paving the way for the successor, which can be regarded as Zhu Yuanzhang's second stage.

After the mass killing, the next year, Wang Guoyong, a fifth-rank doctor, made a memorial to speak for Li Shanchang, and the main meaning was that the charge of Li Shanchang's treason was really nonsense.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not refute or pursue the crime, and let Wang Guoyong get away with it. Many people were amazed by this, but in fact, Zhu Yuanzhang was also considering his son and did not want to make it too ugly. If the purpose of purging the nobles was achieved, there was no need to do it again.

Wang Guoyong got away with it this year, which can be regarded as the end of the second stage.

Then the third stage is very clear. In the twenty-fifth year, Zhu Biao died of illness and was posthumously named Prince Yiwen. The situation in the Ming Dynasty changed.

Lan Yu was the first to hit the knife edge. 】
