Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 147 Su Jing's On Yingzheng, the Foundation of Great Unification
Su Jing's first sentence made everyone present stunned for a moment.

It goes without saying that Zhu Yuanzhang himself is extremely confident.

The ranking of the top three is very high, but he is not satisfied.

And Zhu Biao's sons were surprised that Su Jing actually broke the current situation and only gave a top three ranking.

This kind of emperor ranking has actually been done all the time.

But there is a basic rule, that is, the ranking of the current emperor cannot be low.

Those like the founding emperor are basically ranked first.

And Lao Zhu, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, is the real hero of the generation.

After a bowl at the beginning, he reached the position of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, which was actually rated as the top three by Su Jing in the contemporary era.

How can this not shock them!

"Su Jing, then you should talk about it."

Zhu Yuanzhang also asked Su Jing.

But unlike Queen Ma's curious look, there was a bit of dissatisfaction on his face.

"Why, not convinced?"

Su Jing saw Zhu Yuanzhang's expression and said with a smile.

In fact, he probably guessed that Lao Zhu would have this expression, because he had brought up this topic when he first met Lao Zhu.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face changed slightly and he said: "Naturally, I don't accept it. The emperor was so strong in Wenzhi and martial arts back then. He expelled the Tartars and returned my Han family. These achievements can only be ranked in the top three. I don't know how you rank them."

This wave of boasting about himself, what Zhu Yuanzhang said was quite smooth.

He is not ashamed, because what he says is the truth.

Zhu Biao and other princes also looked at Su Jing, waiting for Su Jing to give a reason.

In their hearts, their father is the absolute No.1.

Su Jing nodded and said: "The reason why I rank in the top three is because there is only one Emperor No. 1 in my heart, and he is the only one, and today's emperor is second only to him, which is the second."

Not even first gear?
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his mind was a little buzzing.

"Who is No.1?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Su Jing, he couldn't wait.

Su Jing said indifferently: "That is naturally the first emperor through the ages, the first emperor won the government."

Emperor Qin Shihuang!
Hearing this name, Zhu Yuanzhang was startled at first, but did not refute.

Indeed, not everyone can touch porcelain in Qin Shihuang.

"Master Su, although the First Emperor Yingzheng has made outstanding achievements, the Qin Dynasty has been disintegrated in only 15 years. Today, it shouldn't be too far behind."

Zhu Biao said.

He also respects his father very much.

Zhu Biao has read the history of the Qin Dynasty many times in history books. Of course, strong soldiers and good generals quickly unified the land of China, and the duration was very short.

The evaluation of later generations is also described as "tyranny".

Today's Daming is no worse than Qin Chao, at least Zhu Biao is confident that Daming will never perish in the second generation.

"Su Jing, tell me, why can't you compare today?"

When Zhu Biao spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally continued to ask.

Being able to become the founding emperor of the country naturally has some incomparable self-confidence.

Even if the First Emperor Yingzheng, he dared to stand shoulder to shoulder with him, or even surpass him.

Su Jing looked at Lao Zhu, and then glanced at the gazes of the other princes, not too surprised.

Although the previous life ranked the emperors of all dynasties in China, the first emperor Yingzheng was basically the No. 1 position.

Subsequent rankings will be somewhat controversial.

But now, it is the Ming Dynasty, or when the Ming Dynasty was first established.

The cognition of history also has the limitations of feudal society.

Very normal.

Su Jing nodded slightly and said: "Okay, anyway, it's just chatting, so let me talk about why the First Emperor Yingzheng is Emperor No. 1."

"Stop playing, come and listen carefully."

When Empress Ma saw that Su Jing was going to give a lecture, it was Zhu Zhen and Zhu Yu who were still playing distractedly even after saying hello.

They are the youngest and don't care much about these things.

Although it wasn't Empress Ma's own, Empress Ma is also very generous.

As long as it is Zhu Yuanzhang's child, whether it is his own or not, he will not treat him deliberately.

Zhu Zhen and Zhu Mina immediately put down the things in their hands and came to the stone table.

At this moment, the small courtyard seemed to have turned into a temporary small classroom.

"Come on, can someone briefly talk about the history of the Qin Dynasty?"

Su Jing asked all the princes: "By the way, Niu Yi, don't answer, I'll see how your younger brothers are doing in history."

Su Jing has already experienced Zhu Biao's knowledge reserve.

Su Jing also wanted to see the level of Lao Zhu's other sons, whether they were all chicken babies.

History of the Qin Dynasty.

When Su Jing asked this question, Zhu Xi's head was a little big.

Isn't this a lecture? Why did it suddenly turn into a question and answer?

It was also the first time for Zhu Yuanzhang to see Su Jing giving a lecture in front of him, so he just watched silently from the side.

How is your own son?

"Let me do it."

After a little silence, Zhu Yan took the initiative to speak: "Mr. Su, let me tell you, if there is something wrong, please don't blame me."

"It's okay, just say it boldly, and correct it if you make a mistake. It's not an exam, so don't be afraid."

Su Jing said with a smile, active students should be encouraged.

Zhu Yan nodded and said: "Qin Dynasty, during the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period, there were vassal states, and after Yingzheng became the king of Qin, he successively destroyed Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan, and Qi, and completed the great cause of unification."

"In the 37th year of Qin Wangzheng, he died of illness in Shaqiu, and Qin II Hu Hai came to the throne. Three years later, he hanged himself in Wangyi Palace, and Qin died."

Because what Su Jing wanted was a brief description, so what Zhu Bian said was not detailed.

It is not impossible for him to recite the words of the First Emperor's Benji.

"very good."

Su Jing nodded, this is enough.

He continued: "Then, after Emperor Yingzheng unified the six kingdoms, what measures did they take that are very meaningful to future generations? Can anyone answer?"

Su Jing asked again, her eyes naturally fell on the princes.

This time, Zhu Yan did not stand up again.

Of course, it wasn't that he didn't know, but that he didn't want to be too public.

However, apart from him, the one who reads well is Zhu Biao.

Although Zhu Lu is also eager to learn, he is too young after all, and his interest is in plants.

This history book is still less read.

The pressure suddenly came to Zhu Xi and Zhu Di.

"Uh, this."

Zhu Xi also understood that he had to say something, and Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes had swept past him intentionally or unintentionally.

"Build the Great Wall!"

After holding back for a while, Zhu Xi finally said something.

In his memory, there is only one item of building the Great Wall.

He really doesn't know much about other things about Qin Chao.

"anything else?"

Su Jing continued to ask.

Zhu Xi was a little dumbfounded, what else is there?

He could only look at the third child, Zhu Yan, who was beside him, wanting to get some hints.

"Attack the Xiongnu in the north, conquer Baiyue in the south!"

Zhu Di suddenly said.

He is indeed not very interested in history books, but he still knows Qin Shihuang's military achievements.

"Well, yes, it does count, and there are more."

Su Jing nodded, and didn't mean to stop asking.

But the second child, Zhu Xi, and the fourth child, Zhu Di, had nothing to answer at this time.

This.
The small courtyard became a little quiet.

"Mr. Su, the students think that the greatest contribution of the first emperor should be that the books are written in the same way, and the cars are in the same track."

Zhu Biao finally spoke and eased the embarrassing situation.

Zhu Xi breathed a sigh of relief, while Zhu Di lowered his head.

"it is good."

Su Jing nodded, then turned to Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "What do you think? Uncle?"

This made Lao Zhu a little confused, why did he still test his own?

Even Empress Ma was taken aback by Su Jing's sudden operation, and the corners of her mouth raised when she realized it.

She looked at Lao Zhu, as if she was very happy with this scene.

The princes looked at their father Zhu Yuanzhang, waiting for his answer.

"Ah."

Lao Zhu hummed subconsciously, but he was not too nervous, but said: "The most meaningful move of the first emperor is to unify the six kingdoms and bring the whole world under the command of the Qin Dynasty."

As the emperor, what Lao Zhu agrees with the most is that the world is unified.

There is no king in the world.

There is nothing more touching than this between the emperor and the emperor.

"Okay, since uncle talked about unification, let me talk about unification. This is exactly what I agree with the first emperor Yingzheng the most."

Su Jing said slowly: "As the saying goes, the general trend of the world, if it is united for a long time, it will be divided, and if it is divided for a long time, it will be united."

"Then, why is there such a phenomenon in our land? In other places, this is not the case. They have always maintained the territory division of one village and one country, just like the Spring and Autumn and Seven Kingdoms. Each king is just manages a small area."

"They have not been unified into a huge dynasty. There are always frictions between each region, and wars often occur. There may be winners, but the winners cannot establish a huge dynasty like Daming. empire."

"Why is this, do you understand?"

As soon as Su Jing opened his mouth, he directly mentioned the land outside Daming.

That is to say, Kaos and Lao Zhu talked a lot about Rome, and also related to the history of Europe. At this moment, they know that Su Jing is not talking nonsense.

On the land of Europe, there are various small kingdoms, and there are constant wars among them, which last for hundreds or even thousands of years.

But it has never been unified.

Zhu Yuanzhang said indifferently: "Of course they are too weak. How can there be so many outstanding people in my land of China, who have produced so many heroes."

With this wave of cultural confidence, Su Jing wanted to call.

Su Jing nodded and said: "That's right, Uncle said a lot, but the key point is the First Emperor Yingzheng. It is precisely because of his appearance that the future generations have the foundation to rule the world."

"Yingzheng has done a very important thing, reforming the system. Does anyone know what he changed the enfeoffment system of princes?"

Su Jing habitually inserted questions into the explanation.

"County system."

Zhu Yan replied.

He has been attracted by Su Jing's narration, and said subconsciously.

"That's right, it's the prefecture and county system. If the prefectures and counties of Daming are traced back to their source, they will ultimately be the prefecture and county system of the Qin Dynasty."

Su Jing praised: "This is where the first emperor Yingzheng was so powerful, and the system of prefectures and counties is a pioneering work!"

"Master Su, students remember that the system of prefectures and counties was proposed by Qin Prime Minister Li Si. Isn't Li Si powerful?"

Zhu Biao spoke suddenly, very directly and abruptly.

Empress Ma immediately said, "Niu Yi, when Mr. Su is talking, don't interrupt casually."

This is classroom etiquette, and Empress Ma thought Zhu Biao was too rude.

How can you interrupt your teacher's words and ask questions.

"Ma'am, don't blame him."

Seeing this, Su Jing immediately said: "This is what I ask of him. To be my student, you must dare to question. I am not a saint, and everything I say cannot be correct."

"If you have any doubts, just ask them, and we will solve them on the spot. The purpose of reading is not to listen to me, but to learn real knowledge."

"The so-called truth is not clear without debate, rather than holding a certain book or a certain person as a standard."

What Su Jing said made Empress Ma quite surprised.

At the same time, it also brought Zhu Yuanzhang a lot of surprises. The princes never expected that Su Jing would encourage students to question themselves.

They have never seen such a teacher, such a teaching method.

"Mr. Su's teaching and educating people is the shallowness of women."

Empress Ma immediately apologized to Su Jing.

After listening to Su Jing's words, she didn't feel that Su Jing knew too little, only that Su Jing was a real famous teacher.

How rare is a teacher who doesn't care about reputation.

"I'm just telling the truth, Madam doesn't have to."

Su Jing spoke briefly to Empress Ma, and then continued: "Okay, now that Niu Yi proposed, the system of prefectures and counties was proposed by Li Si, very good."

"First of all, I want to be sure that what Niu Yi said is correct, but the implementation of the system of prefectures and counties needs to be guaranteed by the First Emperor Yingzheng."

"Uncle, I think you should have a similar feeling. When the two armies confront each other, the advisers under his command will give different suggestions and analyze the pros and cons. For the general, he may not be able to come up with these strategies, but the general needs to follow suit. Choose the correct one from these recommendations and implement it.”

"But until things come to fruition, no one knows whether this proposal is right or wrong to implement."

"Li Si was just the one who made the suggestion, but the one who really saw through the right and wrong of the suggestion was the First Emperor Yingzheng."

Su Jing said, looking at Zhu Yuanzhang.

He guessed that Zhu Yuanzhang was probably some kind of leading general, so he should have this kind of experience.

"Well, Su Jing, I agree with what you said."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "To be a general, you need a clear mind and decisive decision-making ability. Everything has pros and cons. If you can't see clearly, it will only lead to failure."

Zhu Yuanzhang had led soldiers before, and the example Su Jing gave was not too appropriate for him.

Now that Lao Zhu is the emperor, this feeling is even deeper.

Regarding daimyo, there will always be a bunch of suggestions below, some of which are even completely opposite.

But what everyone said was valid, and if he wasn't sober enough, he wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

Su Jing smiled and said: "So, Li Si who proposed the county system, I just think he is smart, and the first emperor Yingzheng who resolutely implemented the county system, I think he is great."

"You know, before the Qin Dynasty, there was no county system. Although Li Si proposed the county system, there is no doubt that there must be more support for the enfeoffment system."

"Without any successful cases, the First Emperor Yingzheng seemed to have seen through everything, and unswervingly carried out the system of prefectures and counties."

"This is not comparable to any later emperor."
