Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 811: Sword, Scabbard, and Sword Stand

Zhao Kuangyin looked up at the light curtain, then looked down at his brother.

His thoughts were so clear in his expression that Zhao Guangyi was shocked:

"Now I only know about the ancient Buddha and the green lamp, and I dare not talk about swords and guns."

Shaking his head and not bothering to care, Zhao Kuangyin thought that the words of the later generations imitating Emperor Taizong of Tang were more interesting.

After all, the Tang Dynasty was still the predecessor of the Song Dynasty, and he knew more and saw more clearly.

The hundred years of the prosperous Tang Dynasty were like the scorching sun, sweeping across the vast territory.

The An-Shi incident was like the scorching sun falling to the ground, and monsters suddenly appeared.

But when he thought of the Jingkang incident, Zhao Kuangyin was immediately discouraged and wanted to say as the light curtain teased:

It's boring, no more fun, let's go.

I can only say that I wish I could beat my bald brother again to vent my anger. After all, the Fengzhuangku and hundreds of thousands of imperial guards were supposed to be used to unify the world.

As a result, he was buried by the Gaoliang River, causing a thousand years of regret.

However, looking at his brother's humble and submissive look, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't say anything harsh for a while, and could only wave his hand in disgust.

By the way, twist your head again, because the words on the light curtain on the dome have not yet disappeared.

〖Personally, I think that the reason why the princes killed the people for fun is more because Zhu Yuanzhang really wrote down his son's crimes. This can barely be regarded as progress. After all, the bad things done by the princes and grandchildren of the past dynasties are all covered up. Apart from anything else, the current Mei Xizong can't control his own son. Therefore, it is really too difficult to demand that a beggar six hundred years ago become a pure and flawless saint.

There are other dynasties in the problem of princes, which are also divided into the first and second stages, so it can't be said that it is all Zhu's fault.

The transition stage... If Zhu Di commented on the Li Shanchang case and the Lan Yu case, most of them would only have three words "Thank you, Dad".

As mentioned earlier, if Li Shanchang or Lan Yu were alive, there would be no Fengtian Jingnan. So let's be bolder. If Empress Ma was still alive, there would be two less in the four major cases.

I have to sigh when I mention this. Zhu Yuanzhang is really one of the few sharp swords in thousands of years. Unfortunately, this magic sword has only one sheath. If it is lost, it will become a murder weapon and hurt others and yourself.

It can even be taken a step further. Zhu Yuanzhang is the sword, Empress Ma is the sheath, and Zhu Biao is the sword stand. Without the sheath, the sword can still be placed on the sword stand, but when the sword stand can no longer support it, the sword will have nowhere to be placed. Whoever is touched will die if it is swung randomly.

When you said this, I suddenly had an idea. If Zhu Yuanzhang died before Empress Ma, would he let Empress Ma be buried with him?

Your suggestion is very loose, but your prosperous nine clans make up for this part very well.

I suggest that you give this suggestion to Zhu Yuanzhang when he is alive, which will definitely leave a strong mark in history books.

I don't know if Zhu Yuanzhang had the courage to let Empress Ma go with him, but it may be true that when Empress Ma died, Zhu Yuanzhang cried and almost sent himself away.

Even if we put aside the conditions of the nine clans and punishment, this hypothetical proposal is too advanced. Even if it really happened, who forced Empress Ma to be buried alive? She was Zhu Yunwen's grandmother and Zhu Di's mother. No matter who is the emperor, filial piety will become a joke.

But UP doesn't talk about Zhu Yuanzhang's burial alive, which is definitely an unprecedented bad precedent, right?

To be honest, this matter is really debatable. After all, there are only two records of burial alive in the Hongwu Dynasty. One is that when Zhu Chong died, he let the princess be buried alive alone. This princess was Wang Baobao's sister; the other is that after Zhu Yuanzhang died, "many palace ladies followed the dead". Now there are also opinions that the concubines who were buried with Zhu Yuanzhang were forced by Zhu Yunwen. After all, this group of little grandmothers is a trouble, and Zhu Yunwen also has the deeds of forcing his uncle to death to prove it.

To be more specific, the tombs of Zhu Yuanzhang's sons have been opened, and no human sacrifice pits have been found. If Zhu Yuanzhang really liked human sacrifice, Zhu Biao would have been buried with a whole set of fat and thin people after his death. It doesn't make sense.

Without taking a subjective standpoint, the rumored edict of Zhu Yuanzhang contains "command the concubines to be sacrificed", which is basically suspected of fabrication.

Your position is already a standpoint... But seriously speaking, the effect of Ming Yingzong's order to abolish human sacrifice has also been exaggerated. Human sacrifice has never stopped in the entire feudal era, including the Qing Dynasty. After all, the landlords in the countryside in the feudal era were the real local emperors. They can do whatever they want on their own small piece of land. To be honest, you, the emperor, can't really control it, and most emperors are not interested in it - just pay taxes on time.

But when it comes to Empress Ma, Zhu Di is quite similar to his father. After his wife died, he had a mental breakdown and then remained a widow for more than ten years.

Being a widow is okay... but there are still many differences. As soon as his wife died, Zhu started to deal with the meritorious officials, and finally killed his old brothers; as soon as his wife died, Zhu Di started to fight for his life in the north, and finally died of illness in the frontier.

Although Zhu Di was not the founder of the country, he was not a king who maintained the status quo. I remember a scholar praised "Judy was in office for 8,062 days and never wasted a day." From this point of view, she is indeed very similar to Zhu.

Why does Judy seem a little unserious? It depends on how the UP host comments. 〗

Zhu Biao found himself an outsider for a while. He looked at his father's expression from left to right. He was probably thinking about the matter of burial with the dead and the matter of the fourth brother mentioned in the text.

And the fourth brother who played the leading role in the text... was frowning at this moment, lowering his head and counting his fingers.

Zhu Biao could probably guess that it was said that this younger brother had a very good relationship with his wife, Mrs. Xu, and he was probably calculating how many years he could live and his wife's approximate fate.

After reading it, Zhu Biao was quite impressed. What should I say? The metaphor of the sword platform is too appropriate.

If the divine sword is placed on a stand without retracting its blade, it will inevitably cause damage to the stand. The damage will be self-inflicted over time, and it will eventually collapse. Isn't it just like yourself?

However, he was only secretly distressed for a moment. Zhu Biao felt that there was a gaze that was a bit dazzling. When he turned around, he saw that Zhu Biao was looking at him, but there was a slight dodge in his expression.

As soon as Zhu Biao thought about this, he understood that Zhu Yunwen had forced his uncle to death as he had just written, so Zhu Biao was probably in danger.

Of course Zhu Biao also understood that it was most likely his twelfth brother Zhu Bai who was forced to death. However, since his twelfth brother was sitting obediently and silently behind him this time, Zhu Biao had no choice but to say something. He could only say vaguely:

"It's none of your business, don't worry."

"What did brother say? Why am I worried?"

Having said that, Zhu Biao could see that the third brother's expression relaxed a little.

However, this attitude was immediately laughed at by Zhu Xi:

"Third brother, we need to learn more martial arts as a brother so that we can take care of our father's worries!"

"Although my life is like that of my elder brother, I will definitely die in battle and attack the enemy. There is no regret in that!"

This was also heard by Zhu Yuanzhang who turned around, so he gave a rare compliment:

"Chen'er is just like us, a bit heroic."

So Zhu Xi was immediately overjoyed and raised his eyebrows as he looked at his third brother with a somewhat proud look on his face.

"As for you..."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Di, his brows and eyes full of tangles and pickiness, and in the end he just nodded lightly:

"Although he is much different from your elder brother, his reputation is not lost after all."

Finally, he turned to Zhu Biao, and after he hesitated to speak, he explained:

"Don't come out in good health!"
