Huayu, my wife, I support myself

But before.

Chongzhen first took off the dragon robe on his body,
The white lining inside leaked out,

He stroked the patched dragon robe inch by inch with both hands.

There is a deep nostalgia in the eyes.

After all, I gritted my teeth,

Handed the dragon robe to the old eunuch Wang Cheng'en beside him.

Then face Lu Chen!

suddenly!

He clasped his hands together and bowed deeply to Lu Chen!
"Long live God, absolutely not!"

With the old eunuch exclaimed!
This bow surprised even Lu Chen!

It was a real surprise.

It was clearly not written in the script, but Tang Lei did it.

This of course surprised him.

but,

Lu Chen understood after thinking about it.

At this time, Chongzhen was no longer an emperor. Didn't you see that he had already taken off his dragon robe?
Take off the dragon robe,

He is no longer an emperor.

therefore,

This behavior is not excessive.

The audience in front of the TV had no objection to Tang Lei's behavior.

"Emperor Chongzhen took off his dragon robe before bowing to Lu Chen. Isn't this just to make friends with him as an ordinary person?"

"The emperor can't help himself."

"This Daming dragon robe is not a shackle to Chongzhen?"

"Perhaps only when he takes off his dragon robe, can he have the courage to ask questions that he dare not ask himself!"

"Damn it! I'm in tears! When a person is about to die, he still cares about Daming's face. He has to take off the dragon robe to bow to others!"

of course!

There is also a large group of audiences who are shocked, which is completely different from the above group of audiences!
That's what they focus on.

"He bowed to Lu Chen as a commoner. This is something to ask Lu Chen. This design is simply invincible."

"This program is really beyond people's expectations, and the direction is completely unpredictable!"

"It makes sense for the emperor to bend over, probably only Lu Chen and the others."

of course.

Many people see here,
He was also directly in a cold sweat by the actions of Lu Chen and Tang Lei.

For example, the staff of CCTV.

After seeing this scene, they
Everyone is covered in cold sweat.

A generation of emperors,
Even if he is the king of subjugation,
However, that was the Emperor of Ming Dynasty after all.

The emperor of Ming Dynasty actually bowed to Lu Chen.

This is too bold.

Are you not afraid of being scolded?

"The screenwriter of "Collected China" is too bold. Asking the actor who played Chongzhen to bow to Lu Chen, this is too heaven-defying!"

"Hehehe, didn't you see that Lu Chen was a little surprised? Although the expression of surprise was very reasonable, I think he probably didn't expect Tang Lei to make such a move on him."

"You mean, this is Tang Lei's personal behavior, and Lu Chen was surprised by Tang Lei's behavior?"

"you can say it this way."

"Obviously, Tang Lei did this when he was excited about acting."

"I rely on?"

"Isn't this too courageous?"

"If Lu Chen knew that Tang Lei would do this, he would definitely not let Tang Lei act like this."

"No! He will agree with Tang Lei to act like this."

"That's right, it's too reasonable, it's so hard to tell."

"When Tang Lei took off his dragon robe, the reluctance in his eyes really made people feel uncomfortable! He is indeed my idol."

this moment.

Several leaders on the CCTV side also had their eyelids twitch violently.

The emperor saluted.

Such a setting.

It can be said that there is no one before and no one after.

Lu Chen and the others are really daring!

but,

Although this is a bold move, it is also within the context.

Besides, Emperor Chongzhen bowed after taking off his dragon robe,

This is as a commoner.

I just don't know the last emperor.

Why do you act like this.

In a flash,

The curiosity of countless viewers was instantly aroused.

in the screen.

Tang Lei has already taken off his dragon robe,
He was dressed in white, with disheveled hair, red and swollen eyes and cheeks.

But at this moment, he,

Putting life and death aside.

He wants to hear the answer.

Daming's answer,
own answer.

The people's answer.

Seeing Chongzhen bow.

Lu Chen was taken aback for a moment.

Although he represents the contemporary people, he cannot be unattainable.

therefore.

When Chongzhen bent down to bow, Lu Chen immediately supported his arm with both hands.

He did not accept the gift.

Although it seems reasonable for Chongzhen to salute.

But that doesn't mean he will accept it.

Tang Lei can perform on the spot.

Of course Lu Chen can too.

but,

Compared to Tang Lei, who is a professional, Lu Chen's on-the-spot performance.

According to Tang Lei,
That's it.

Before he played with Fu Dalong on the spot, he was not surprised at all.

Not to mention now.

"I……"

Chongzhen bit his lip tightly.

His lower lip was bitten with a row of blood,
This is because Chongzhen's heart is at war between heaven and man.

"I want to know what happened after my death!"

This is the question Chongzhen wants to ask most.

"Dare to ask, sir, what will happen to me after I die, and what will happen to the world after the Ming Dynasty is gone."

After Emperor Chongzhen was lifted up by Lu Chen,
He turned to look at the setting sun in the sky.

At this moment, the setting sun is bathed in blood,

Seems to represent some bad omen.

Lu Chen held his breath and focused his eyes on the front.

"Report to Your Majesty."

Although Chongzhen has now betrayed his relatives, he is still the emperor of Daming Jiangshan in name.

So Lu Chen still used the title of His Majesty.

Chongzhen is also worthy of his title.

When many people mentioned Zhu Youjian, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen,

The words that most people immediately think of are: subjugated king, miser, self-willed, indiscriminate killing of heroes, excessive taxation and other derogatory terms.

But is the historically real Chongzhen really such a faint king?
Actually not.

Taking the rogue bandits in the late Ming Dynasty as an example, let’s re-examine this issue.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, a rare Little Ice Age occurred around the world. In more than 40 years, there are clear records in historical data that severe droughts occurred in China for eight consecutive years.

Many provinces have been hit by severe drought year after year without a single drop of rain. People are struggling to starve to death, and tragedies of cannibalism have even begun to occur.

During the same period, floods occurred in the southern provinces.In the first year of Chongzhen, Li Yinggong, the censor of Shaanxi Province, recorded: "Famines have been fierce for years, and disasters followed. There was no rain in May, so that in autumn, the three volts were dry and the seedlings withered. Plagiarism during the day, the weak preyed on the strong, and took risks."

In the second year of Chongzhen, Ma Maocai made a performance: "There was no rain in Yan'an Mansion last year, and the vegetation was scorched. In August and September, the villagers competed to pick the grass in the mountains and peel them for food. After October, when the grass was eaten up, they peeled the bark and died. Food.

At the end of the year, when the bark is exhausted, they dig up rocks from the mountains to eat.Among the villagers, there were those who died unwilling to eat stones, and they began to gather together as robbers. "

It can be seen from this that "the great hunger in the middle of the Qin Dynasty, and thousands of miles of red land" is the real reason for the peasants' rebellion.

When large-scale and perennial major natural disasters occur in an area, these hungry people will ignore the law and morality and start robbing and killing when they are desperate.

In later history books, the description of the natural disasters in this period of history was understated and briefly mentioned, but the focus was on the Ming Dynasty’s excessive taxation and local officials’ pressure for money and food, which made the peasants unable to bear it and embarked on the road of rebellion.

If the government reduces taxes or does not collect taxes, then no one will rebel?
the answer is negative.

Years of severe drought and no food harvest, even if the country does not levy taxes, the common people will starve to death.

In fact, the government of the Ming Dynasty did reduce or exempt taxes in the disaster-stricken areas. The taxes in the northern regions were much lighter than those in the south, and there was no rebellion in the Jiangnan region, where the taxes were the heaviest.

The real reason for the rebellion of the disaster victims was famine, not pressing taxes.

When quelling the civil strife, the Ming government army won many victories in the early and mid-term, the most famous being two.

In the sixth year of Chongzhen, under the siege of the Ming army, most of the rogues were trapped in the area north of the Yellow River in Hen Province. With nowhere to go, they used the lowest-level false-surrender strategy, and there were dozens of leaders who reported their surrender Among them, there are several later "celebrities"-Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang, Chuang General Li Zicheng, Xiying Eighth King Zhang Xianzhong, who can almost catch them all at once.

But the Ming army believed them, allowing them to cross the Yellow River calmly and walk away from the encirclement.

This is the first time, and it is called "Mianchi Ferry" in history.

In the seventh year of Chongzhen, the troops of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were surrounded by the Ming army led by Chen Qiyu, the governor of the five provinces, and besieged in the carriage gorge.

At that time, the exit was blocked, and it rained continuously for dozens of days. The troops of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were hungry and poor. More than half of the horses died without fodder, and even the bows and arrows were so moldy that they could not be used.

Even when the Ming army does not need to do anything, as long as the siege is continued for a few more days, the rebels will starve to death.

As a result, these rogues repeated their tricks again, expressing their intention to surrender.

And the Ming army accepted their surrender again, and even escorted these rogues who had already "surrendered" out of the canyon as an organization. Those without armor put on armor, those who lost their bows and arrows replaced them with new bows and arrows, and those who hadn't eaten for many days were full. abdomen.

However, as soon as Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's troops got out of the predicament, they began to massacre the officers and soldiers who escorted them, and continued to attack the city.

Therefore, the later history books made a special mention of the fact that the Ming army was fooled again and again because of the stupidity of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, and described the generals of the Ming army who surrounded the rogues as corrupt elements like idiots. .

Is history really like this?

In fact, of course, it is not that simple, and there are deeper reasons behind this.

and,

Not only Lu Chen, but many people saw Emperor Chongzhen's love for the people in these records.

in this one.

From the very beginning, Emperor Chongzhen repeatedly emphasized that "Kou is also my child, so I should caress him."

Then he said: "If you are willing to return to justice, you will be a good citizen", which means that you hope to solve it by means of consolation and relief.

Hearing that Hong Chengchou was going to execute dozens of people including Wang Zuogui who had surrendered, he still got angry.

In a dialogue with Liu Jiayu, a political participant in Shaanxi, he asked: "Since Wang Zuogui has surrendered, why kill him?"

In March of the seventh year of Chongzhen, Tang Shiji, the censor of the right capital of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, said that the composition of the rogues should be distinguished, because most of the rogues were post soldiers and hungry people. Liu Qiyu, commander of the front line of suppressing bandits.

His mentality was also understood by the ministers, and even Yang Sichang, who had always advocated the suppression and killing of the rogues, changed his words and said: "These rogues were originally the emperor's sons, and the officers and soldiers who killed him were also the court's sons. It is absolutely necessary to let the sons kill the sons." ".

In contrast,

Chongzhen's attitude towards Hou Jin in the Northeast was completely opposite.

In the 11th year of Chongzhen, the Qing army continued to harass the border, and even broke into the pass to slaughter and loot.

Emperor Chongzhen always regarded Houjin as the most important enemy. He always felt that Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other rogues belonged to his own people after all, and everything was easy to discuss. However, Houjin, a brutal regime aimed at splitting the country and massacring and looting, did not discuss it. room for.

Therefore, Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting and other famous generals and the elite troops of the Ming army led by them were transferred to Liaodong, which gave the rogues who had been basically wiped out a chance to regroup and make a comeback.

This can also explain why Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng, who had been labeled as "polished commanders" by the Ming army, were able to re-launch the rebellion in the 13th year of Chongzhen, and it was out of control.

therefore,

Regarding this question asked by Chongzhen.

Lu Chen was not surprised, and neither were the audience.

Secondly, when the audience sees Emperor Chongzhen, they can let go of their status as emperors.

Do not hesitate to bow to yourself.

This shows that, in his view,
How the people of the future generations will be and how the world will be, in his heart, is far more important than the status of an emperor.

This is why he is clearly the king of subjugation,
The reason why Lu Chen still respects him.

"Da Ming, he's not dead yet."

After thinking about it, Lu Chen said.

Chongzhen's eyes were gloomy: "Once I die, there will be no king in this world, so how can it be possible for Ming to survive?"

Lu Chen didn't answer directly, but said lightly.

"I will answer your Majesty's first question first."

"What happens after you die?"

Chongzhen's body trembled slightly, but he didn't say a word.

Lu Chen took a deep breath and said slowly, "It's recorded in "History of Southern Ming Dynasty, Yi Li."

"The Qing people entered the customs, attacked the city and seized the land, the slaughter was miserable, and the human rights were extinct."

"I hold the tube so far, I almost cried a word."

Chongzhen closed his eyes, and tears welled up again.

at the same time.

Countless Ming fans and many scholars who studied Ming history also had moist eye sockets.

The old man of the research institute also slowly closed his eyes, and slowly recited with Lu Chen in his mouth.

"There are those who can't bear books but can't bear not to read."

"The bright room crosses the river, and the servants of the temple go to death one after another, and death is like a happy meal."

"Its righteousness, loyalty, straight feet shine the sun and stars, and move the mountains."

The old man opened his eyes.

What Lu Chen memorized was recorded in historical materials, and he will also memorize this historical material.

Every time I read it, every sentence hurts.

Especially the sentence, "I held the tube so far, I almost cried every single word."

Those who recorded this period of history held pens in their hands, and every time a word was recorded, a drop of tear fell on the paper.

How sad!
as a historical researcher.

Of course they know why the later history books have a bad opinion of Chongzhen?
The reason is very simple, because there are people who create lies, and there are also people who know the lies are false but hope that the lies will continue.

As for who is the one who made this lie.

Who is the one making the lies?

The answer is also very simple,
It is the peasant army like Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng, and they are also post-Jinman people.

Because they wanted to cover up the generous treatment they received after being recruited by the Ming Dynasty,

For example, when the Ming government recruited Zhang Xianzhong, they gave him a military salary of 10 people and allowed him to buy land in Gucheng County to farm and collect grain.

For example, Li Zicheng was beaten and only 18 people fled into the mountains, but the Ming army did not continue to chase and kill.

What they want to cover up is the crime of being ungrateful and cooperating with the Jin army to attack their own state power back and forth.

Who is the one who wants the lie to perpetuate?

It was the former ministers and survivors of the Ming Dynasty who surrendered to the Qing army. They hoped to shirk their responsibilities and push all the faults for the subjugation of the country to Chongzhen alone.

It is of course the Manchus who hope that this lie will continue. They want to instill in the Han people under their rule that the demise of the Ming Dynasty is their own fault.

History books can be tampered with, because they and they need such lies...
