The road from Africa to Europe

Chapter 730 The Founding Emperor

He is indeed a good emperor. He was originally just a person who was willing to study, and his dream in life was to become a majestic Zhijinwu.

But the final result is to make him a more powerful person than Zhijinwu, and he will become Long Live after Qingyun straight up.And his performance was superb, and he was very good at politics. After he took office, he rectified the administration of officials and began to recuperate.

During his reign, he was relatively politically clear, and the population began to increase a lot. He was a famous Ming emperor in history. It can be said that he did a really good job, which led to fewer people hating him in later generations.

"Book of the Later Han Dynasty" evaluates him as follows: Although the emperor has a great cause, he is not as good as the competition, so he can be clear about the political system, manage the power and plan, measure the time and strength, and do nothing wrong. Scattering horses and oxen with bows and arrows, although the way is not ancient, it is also the martial arts of fighting.

Because his origin has a certain relationship with the royal family of the previous dynasty, and he is several generations of grandsons of the founding emperor of the previous dynasty, so to a certain extent, he attracted many landlords and wealthy families who resisted the new dynasty.

The foreign relatives of the previous dynasty usurped the throne and established a new dynasty. Because of the various policies formulated, landlords, large and small, revolted one after another, which also led to the short duration of the new dynasty.

No one in later generations regards a new dynasty that has only survived for more than ten years as a real dynasty, which led to the founding emperor being called the Lord of Zhongxing in later generations.

Ha ha!No one thought that this would be the final winner. He obviously had no idea of ​​fighting for hegemony at the beginning, and he was often a good younger brother of his elder brother, with little ambition.

However, a shocking result came out, because the death of his brother led to his explosive growth. In just a few years, he finally became the overlord of one party and finally eliminated all opponents.

The person who didn't fight for hegemony at the beginning came to the end, which is the plot in Shuangwen's novel. It's such a magical situation, he seems to be the son of destiny.

The most mysterious thing is that the founding emperor rode an ox when he first fought with his elder brother, and only later did he show his abilities little by little.

And when his elder brother was framed to death, he was defending the city outside, and outside was the army of the new dynasty. It was this station that established his prestige, and it was only because of his birth that he saved a city.

The whole process has a strong fantasy nature. He is at a disadvantage when defending the city, and he has to bring a total of less than 10,000 people. When facing a team of several 100,000 people, it doesn't look right.

The other defenders of the city felt that something was wrong this time, and they all wanted to flee, but he, who was in charge of the defense, decided not to retreat.The big deal is death, but I decided not to admit defeat without a fight.

It is said that at this time, he and the soldiers in the team are dead. After all, the difference in the number of the two is too big. How can they fight if they are one to dozens?One shot at each other will directly kill people.

A fantasy scene appeared. During the battle, a stone fell from the sky on the opponent's position, causing the opponent's family to either be crushed to death by the stone, or the whole person collapsed. He led the people to complete the victory with less.

How about it?Does it feel like this must not be true?Are you sure it's not a super fantasy western fantasy novel?People who didn't know thought that these stones that fell from the sky were his trump card, and his reputation was greatly improved for a while.

It was the victory of this battle that boosted the momentum of the rebel army, and the rule of the new dynasty began to completely disintegrate.Let the commander of the rebel army who wanted to kill the grass and roots after killing people, dare not do it lightly for the time being.

Because the victory of the founding emperor is too rare, who has seen this kind of operation before?It can be said that the heavenly soldiers descended from the gods, and the clever leader of the rebel army can take advantage of the trend to gain a wave of reputation for himself.

He had no choice but to suppress his murderous intentions, temporarily unable to directly kill the founding emperor, who would dare to get rid of a lucky general right away?He still can't do it.

It is precisely because of this that people in the post-World War I will praise the founding emperor when they mention the founding emperor, what a son of a plane, just because the stone fell from the sky, there is another title of magician, just because the magician cast by the magician in the Western fantasy novels The curse seems to be able to summon meteorites.

Most people who have read history books look at the founding emperor with admiration. After all, that man's rise to success is one word: Shun!This is the real version of Destiny Child, super powerful.

But as a member of the history, especially if I belong to the original partner, it feels different to watch this period of history from a different standpoint.

As a woman, Ling Xiao sympathizes with the two queens before and after. Neither of the two women can decide their own marriage. What is even more tragic is that the experience of the two of them is doomed to be rivals for the rest of their lives. From their own status to the situation of their children, everything is different To compare.

Of course, the original partner is the saddest one. She is obviously the original partner, but she has to bow her knees to the woman who took her place. Even giving birth to a child takes several years.

After her husband became the emperor, she was still a concubine. The woman who ascended the throne of empress was very favored by the emperor. She gave birth to many children in succession, and was praised by the emperor again and again.

The original partner has been living honestly in the harem, not angry, nor thinking about how to get revenge, she is really a self-cultivated person, and has never been blackened.

Until one day she finally ascended to the throne of the queen, she was still very calm during the process. As a daughter of a family, she was very clear about her position, and she had to be cautious in her words and deeds in many cases.

It seems that the emperor was thinking about the old relationship between the husband and wife in the early years and let the two return to each other, but in fact it was more because of the general environment that forced the emperor to do so.

You must know that the first empress was born in a powerful family. When the emperor first entered this place, in order to become stronger, he started a marriage in the name of an alliance, and the other party took the name of his wife.

But later, I found out that the other party's family said something nice every time, but they didn't really implement it. Even so, they felt that they had contributed a lot to the great cause of the emperor.

And what can the emperor do?It can only be to knock out teeth and blood throat, because the alliance is what he needs.After the first queen came to power, the power of her natal family swelled up again.

The queen's natal family relied on their status as relatives of the emperor to benefit their own family. After all, they made a covenant in the early years. Now that the emperor eats meat, they naturally want to drink soup, and they want to keep all the soup for their own people .

Therefore, suppressing some officials who do not agree with them everywhere, and interfering in many things, this is somewhat beyond the bottom line in the emperor's heart, which makes the emperor very disgusted.

As an emperor, he is not only a husband, but also a father. Naturally, he can't focus on how to make his relatives stronger. He also has other identities.

What's more, he has to think about the dynasty he has established. Now that he is the emperor, he naturally hopes that his subjects will be obedient and he is unwilling to let people make trouble.But the wife's natal family is really unscrupulous, so it will get worse after his death.

Then the current prince will never be able to suppress his uncle's family. One day, only his uncle's family will be left in the court. Who is the real emperor?

The reason why he said this was because he had heard from his wife that he asked his son to take care of his natal family. When he thought that the next emperor would be the eldest son of the empress, he had a deep affection for his uncle's family and would definitely take care of the empress' natal family in the future.

But with the trust of the next emperor, the Lu family will only gain more power, which is not good for the development of the dynasty. I'm afraid that the dynasty will have to be replaced in a short time.

In his opinion, it is quite troublesome to take care of his uncle's family.Back then, Queen Wang had been promoting her natal family, thinking that this was her own family, and when she arrived at the Queen Mother, she was even more concerned about the Wang family, giving green light to her natal family everywhere.

In the end, a person came out of the Wang family, who had always been diligent and conscientious, and was known as a great loyal minister, which led to his official becoming bigger and bigger. In the end, he pulled the emperor down from the throne and sat on it himself.

How could an emperor who had just experienced such an incident like an overly powerful relative?He was really afraid that his children and grandchildren would become emperors if they were not careful.

After discovering the problem, he thought it over and over again before deciding to abolish the current queen, and the prince will eventually be replaced.Of course, it is not possible for the emperor to do whatever he wants, and he needs someone to support him.

Fortunately, besides the relatives, there are some heroes from their hometown beside the emperor. They are very disgusted with the relatives. After all, there are only so many official positions, and the relatives have taken them away. What should they do?
The emperor wanted to change someone to be the queen, and they supported it with both hands, which eventually led to the defeat of the first queen, mother and son.Therefore, the purpose of changing the queen is more to achieve the emperor's political goals, rather than the so-called deep affection for the original spouse.

Maybe it was with a bit of this kind of thinking, but it was more a decision made after weighing the pros and cons. On the contrary, this kind of routine came out so that some people didn't know the original meaning at all.

The original partner has always lived a transparent life without fighting or grabbing, but fortunately her eldest son is very up-to-date.Eventually became the second emperor.Thinking clearly, Ling Xiao couldn't help but look at Yang Juan. Is this the legendary original partner in history?
At this moment, Yang Juan, who said she was tired, was resting on the couch for a while. She was a little confused and really didn't know what the future would be like, and she felt the other party's sizing up.

You must know that the two are very familiar, and it is rare for the other party to look at her all the time, which makes her feel something is wrong. In the current situation, she really doesn't know what to say.

Because Ling Xiao's eyes were a little strange, and she looked up and down, which gave her the urge to look in the mirror. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that the other party's look was meaningful.

Ling Xiao said slowly: "Actually, you didn't come here to hear any opinions, did you? You also know that the marriage cannot be cancelled, so you must marry."

As soon as Yang Juan heard it, she understood that the righteous sister could see clearly, so she couldn't help but smiled wryly. She glanced at Ling Xiao. As a noble girl from the Yang family, she knew very well that she couldn't control her own marriage.

As a noble daughter of the Yang family, since she has been protected by the Yang family, she must make her own contribution to the future of the Yang family, so that when she needs help from the family in the future, the family will help her.

Yang Juan naturally understands that her marriage with her fiancé cannot be changed at all, but she is not very happy in her heart. She and Ling Xiao have been very close for a while, so naturally they are somewhat affected. In some places, they are still different from ordinary noble girls. .

She could still tell that her fiancé was in a bad situation this time, because his elder brother was too powerful, which caused Li Jiulang, who was above him, to try every means to find fault with Li Dalang.

After seizing the opportunity, he made a fuss and got rid of Li Dalang. I'm afraid that after Li Dalang died, his brother Li Erlang's situation would not be very good. After all, there was an insurmountable gap between him and the lord.

I'm afraid that Li Jiulang will take action and continue to plot, but Li Erlang has no choice but to return to the rebel army, because even if he wants to start anew, he will have a chance to leave openly.

When he didn't accumulate enough strength, Li Erlang had to pretend he didn't care about his brother's death, because he was afraid that he would also be killed by a chance, and his death would be for nothing, and no one would stand up.

After all, both brothers Li Erlang and Li Jiulang recognized Li Jiulang as the master, and as courtiers, they naturally had to obey the lord's words. Isn't there a saying in later generations: Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of heaven.

At this point, the two brothers are in a weak position, and it is difficult to ask for justice. Whoever makes the two of them subordinates will be punished if one is not good.

This is also the reason for Li Dalang's death. After recognizing Li Jiulang as the master, Li Dalang thought that they were cousins, and they could be separated if they had a good blood relationship, but they forgot the difference between monarch and minister, which eventually led to his own death.

And as Li Dalang's brother, I'm afraid he will be affected very badly. Even if he behaves normally, in the eyes of others, he may still be making trouble. He will definitely find a way to suppress Li Erlang, or let Li Erlang die.

After confirming that Li Jiulang might plot his own death, and because of his record, he didn't dare to attack directly, Li Erlang thought of using marriage as a way to express his position and try to dispel Li Jiulang's killing intent.

This is not a good opportunity to marry, because there is a possibility that if one is not good, she will be killed too!Yang Juan knew these things very well, so she felt uncomfortable, because she felt that she belonged to a shield.

How could this be?When she thinks clearly, she will be very excited for a while, and because she feels that her future is bleak, she can't help but run out to look for Ling Xiao.

It's just that when she saw Ling Xiao, she immediately understood that the righteous sister could not help her, unless she had the courage to resist the family, and then she swallowed some words silently before she could say them.

Because she knows that there are some things that she can't say at all, and she will offend her future husband's family, including but not limited to the groom-to-be, and if she wants to live a good life in the future, she must not mention anything about regretting the marriage.

She herself knew that if she wanted to live in this era, she would have to pay part of the price, which was what everyone had to pay, and she should not think about some things, otherwise she would be the one who suffered.

If she, a weak woman, wants to regret her marriage, even if her elder brother agrees to her plan, the tribe will not agree. After all, she has already divorced once, and if she divorces again, the tribe will feel ashamed.

If she divorced again, it would be even more difficult to get married, and she might become a step-wife. Even if she didn't want to, she had to do it for the benefit of the family.

It's not that she is pedantic, she only wants to contribute to the family, and she does not deny that she serves the family. After all, if the family is prosperous, being a member of the family will also be honored.

If the family is not good, these women will be treated poorly by their husband's family, and no one will care. As an aboriginal, she knows the problem very well.

She didn't want to explain anything, but she became a little relieved, and said with a smile: "Hey! I'm getting married soon, but I'm a little flustered, so I came to see you."

When she said this, her demeanor calmed down, and her whole person was very gentle, just like her before, with the calmness and indifference of a woman from an aristocratic family.

Ling Xiao had to praise secretly, Yang Juan is really a very good person, if she can definitely become a strong woman with her aptitude in later generations, it's a pity that people living in ancient times don't think about it.

It can be seen that the other party does not want to say anything. Some people have suffered a lot, but they are unwilling to expose their wounds, preferring to lick their wounds in private.

Ling Xiao glanced at her, and saw that Yang Juan's eyes were still a little red and swollen, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he asked someone to bring a guqin and played a lightly.

Yang Juan was very happy when she saw it, because Ling Xiao's playing the piano is not small, but usually she doesn't show it in front of outsiders, this time she had the opportunity to hear it very well.

I don't know what the song is, but I feel that the song is very melodious, which made her relax unconsciously, yawned again and again, and fell asleep directly.

You must know that she didn't sleep well all night after receiving the news yesterday, and had nightmares again and again, just because she was a little anxious about her fiancé, she couldn't sleep well, and woke up from the nightmare after falling asleep.

Later, she couldn't sleep anymore, even if she was very sleepy, she couldn't fall asleep. Although she understood the truth, she still felt confused when facing the unknown future.

Knowing that her fiancé's elder brother was killed by Li Jiulang in this way, she was very flustered after living a relatively simple life, because this is the death of someone at close range.

And she was going to get married soon, thinking of the leader of the rebel army who might hate her husband made her feel very bad, the people above would not let her husband stand out.
