Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king

Chapter 435: Taking stock of the emperors of the past dynasties, I, Zhu Qiyu, will be number one throughout the ages!

Ningxia tourism combines the Russian style city with the desert.

Even the once nomadic Mongols disliked the vast Alxa Desert and fled to the Hetao area.

The Alxa Desert that has been managed can only control the desert from swallowing up green space. The hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of desert cannot be completely abandoned.

Focusing on developing tourism is also a helpless move.

The court also attempted to build a railway across the entire desert.

However, the construction of the sand-crossing railway is extremely difficult and has no economic value. It is a complete waste of resources, so the central government decided to wait until the water diversion is successful before building it.

Ningxia does have little economic value, but it has achieved the strategic purpose of establishing a province.

Nowadays, there are no foreign invasions in the Ming Dynasty, and Ningxia has also changed from a border province to an inland province, completing its historical mission of guarding the northwest.

Ningxia has no other value except strategic value.

Except for Shanxi and Shaanxi, the northwest provinces were of no particular significance to the Ming Dynasty.

The reason why Shanxi and Shaanxi are important is because they are the innermost layer that surrounds the capital, so they are important.

In terms of economic value, the northwest provinces combined are not as high as the economic value created by Shanghai.

After Ningxia has completed its historical mission, the court's expectations for it are to support itself and not to overuse central resources, that's all.

Therefore, Ningxia has only a small population and its main industry is tourism.

The focus of the imperial court has always been on the coastal areas of Jiangnan and Baiyue. Other places should not be too bad.

Zhu Houyong has seen the prosperity of the south and the richness of the northeast. Looking at the northwest, it is a bare land and extremely poor.

Since the Qin Dynasty, Huaxia has been living here for a thousand years and fighting for a thousand years. After completely destroying the water and soil of the entire northwest, they finally gave up on the northwest.

Even the Jingtai Dynasty spent more than fifty years managing this area and building the Zhonghua River, which barely alleviated the water diversion problem in the northwest.

But if we want to completely restore the prosperity of Guanzhong during the Qin and Han Dynasties, we still need the water of the Yenisei River and Yuyuerhai to flow southward.

By then, the northwest will be prosperous again.

Zhu Houying came out of Ningxia and went south to Shaanxi.

Shaanxi was also a province separated from the Jingtai Dynasty. The province governed Xi'an. More than a hundred years after it was renamed, it was changed back to Chang'an and became the largest city in the northwest.

Chang'an has a population of 2100 million, and the permanent population is also the same number.

The root cause of the small population is the lack of water resources. Once the Yenisei River is successfully diverted, doubling the population of Chang'an will not be a problem.

After the prosperity of Guanzhong in the Han and Tang Dynasties is restored, the northwest can become megacities, including Chang'an, Taiyuan, and Lanzhou, all of which are expected to have a population of more than 30 million in the future.

When he arrived in Chang'an, Zhu Houying swept away his inherent impression of the northwest and was attracted by the prosperity of Chang'an.

Shaanxi Province has many tourist destinations, the most famous of which are the Daming Palace in Chang'an, which represents the glory of the Tang Dynasty;

One is the three palaces of the Han Dynasty in Chang'an, Changle Palace, Weiyang Palace, and Jianzhang Palace. Each of them is larger than the Ming Palace. The largest Changle Palace is as big as eight Forbidden City.

The third place is the Qin Palace in Xianyang.

The three most prominent dynasties in Chinese history, the Qin, Han and Tang Dynasties, were all located in Shaanxi.

Therefore, Shaanxi is a well-known tourism province. It ranks first on the tourism list all year round and receives 3 billion tourists every year.

Tourism supports Shaanxi’s economic aggregate.

Tourists mainly come to visit the three palaces, which are overcrowded every day.

It stands to reason that when the emperor is here, the palace should not be open to the public, and even the royal gardens are not allowed for ordinary people to enter casually.

But the old emperor didn't care. Many royal gardens in Beijing were open to the public. Over the years, the Ming Dynasty built many palaces.

At first, the court officials thought that the old emperor was extravagant and wasteful and there was no need to build so many buildings.

But after discovering that the old emperor collected the tickets, he said that imperial power should not be trampled on.

But when the ticket money became too much, the money kept flowing into internal funds, and they began to encourage the old emperor to build another one and let the court participate in it.

The more mysterious it is, the more profitable it is.

The imperial palaces of the Qin, Han, Tang and Three Dynasties were restored on the original site and tried their best to restore the original appearance of the palace.

From the beginning of its construction, it was aimed at tourism.

The effect is really remarkable. People in this era still have a strong sense of mystery about the emperor. They all want to see the places where the emperor lived. They are not allowed to see the places where the Ming emperors lived. They are always allowed to see the places where the Qin, Han and Tang emperors lived. Let's meet.

It has been popular for more than 20 years and has supported the entire Shaanxi economy.

Half of Chang'an's prosperity is due to tourists.

When other cities saw the popularity of Shaanxi tourism, they all followed suit. China has a long history. There are not many big dynasties, but too many small dynasties.

Some cities actually started to forge dynasties. We don’t have a dynasty to build a capital here, so we will make up one.

The most ridiculous thing is the forgery of prehistoric civilization. Jilin and Heilongjiang have set an example, but at least they have something to say, and the forgery is interesting. It is all based on imagination. The thing they created is fake at first glance, and they are promoted everywhere.

When the novel became popular a few years ago, they used the characters in the novel as the theme and created a wave of emotions.

After the palace became popular, palaces were built all over the country.

The most difficult thing is that places like Borneo are full of savages and have little history, so they start to fake prehistoric civilization.

Many temples came into being.

Whatever follows the trend, whatever is popular, it blooms everywhere.

However, these counterfeits cannot stop the enthusiasm for traveling to Shaanxi.

It just shows that pirated copies are not as good as original ones, bad coins are driven out by good coins, which is rare in history.

This shows that the people do not want to see fake history, but want to see real history and good tourist attractions, not money-making ones.

The choice of tourists has also contributed to the standardized development of the tourism industry, actively developing high-quality culture, eliminating inferior culture, and reducing following trends, vigorously creating originality, and striving for innovative development.

Zhu Houyong also visited the Daming Palace. After seeing it, he had the urge to expand the Forbidden City. Compared with the palaces of the Han and Tang Dynasties, the Forbidden City was too small.

A Changle Palace is eight times larger than the Forbidden City. There are three Imperial Palaces of the Han Dynasty.

With the Ming Dynasty's national power, it would not matter if another hundred Forbidden City were built, and the people would probably not object.

But why didn’t the old emperor practice it?

Because it’s enough to live in.

The emperor is the representative of the people in the world, and frugality is a virtue. The emperor's stay in the Forbidden City is already very luxurious. How many rooms can one person live in?
If you insist on expanding the Forbidden City a hundred times, what's the use besides getting scolded? It is impossible for the emperor to live in each room, nor to have 10,000 concubines. It is a complete waste of resources.

If a part of it could be opened to sell tickets, the old emperor could consider it, but this would defeat the original purpose of the expansion.

The old emperor is even considering regulating the number of concubines that future kings can have, and even the number of wives and concubines in the world.

Zhu Houyong discovered an interesting thing. People in Chang'an hate this tourist city.

Locals don't have a good attitude when seeing tourists.

There was no little potato or little princess, but it was like seeing an enemy.

Because there are too many tourists in Chang'an, causing congestion on all roads, seriously affecting the normal life of local people, and no matter how many tourists there are, they cannot bring income to the local people.

These days, there is no concept of farmhouses or B&Bs, and the concept of tourism is relatively rudimentary. It has not yet developed to the point of universal tourism and participation in tourism.

Only the local government and travel agencies benefit from tourism, and the people do not get any benefits. Of course they hate tourists.

Mature tourism can drive the entire city and the upstream and downstream industrial chains to make money together. All people participate and all people get rich.

At present, the tourism industry is immature, and people mainly make money with their eyes closed. Tourists are determined to come, and there is no way to stop them.

When the enthusiasm of tourists disappears and tourism enters the buyer's market from a buyer's market, the tourism industry will naturally upgrade.

There are so many fun things in Chang'an.

After three days, Zhu Houyong was still not satisfied, so he spent another day writing down his travel feelings in his travel diary.

His last travel book had been a hit, and he had become a somewhat famous writer.

He published it under a pseudonym, so no one must know his true identity. Many media wanted to interview him, but he declined them all.

He will carefully read the evaluations in the media and readers' feedback in newspapers.

Writing travel notes now always gives me a sense of honor.

Some people really like to read what he writes, but most people don't understand the pleasure that a writer feels.

Zhu Houying spends a lot of time every day to read travel notes of the same type and create his own travel notes, which has become one of his jobs.

Unlike dealing with government affairs, he enjoys the freedom of expression when writing.

The biggest impression on him was Chang'an, which had many ancient monuments.

This city is the northwest financial center, economic center, transportation fortress, and a modern train city and automobile city. The Northwest Railway's car factory is located in Chang'an.

Chang'an lacks water and cannot support a huge population, so a city cluster was built to include the entire Chang'an Prefecture into Chang'an, using the entire Chang'an Prefecture to share Chang'an's population pressure.

Shaanxi has a total population of 1.7 million, and the permanent population is only 1.03 million. In the future, with the successful diversion of water from the Yenisei River, the population will flow back. In time, Shaanxi will become one of the richest provinces in the Ming Dynasty.

After leaving Chang'an, Zhu Houying went to Fengxiang Mansion and Hanzhong Mansion.

Although not as prosperous as Chang'an, Nanzheng and Fengxiang are both large cities with a population of over 10 million, and their economic aggregate is not as large as that of Jiangnan. At least they have a population effect, so it is no problem to boost domestic sales.

From Shaanxi to Gansu, Gansu's decline can be seen with the naked eye.

Because after the imperial court upgraded Lanzhou to Lanjing, the population rushed to Lanzhou crazily. The house price in Lanzhou, which was originally only 2500 yuan per square foot, soared to 4000 yuan in an instant.

Fortunately, the imperial court implemented purchase restrictions to stabilize housing prices at around 3000 yuan, which prevented the housing prices in Lanjing from collapsing.

Lanzhou is the center of the entire northwest.

The real change in the Zhonghua River was in Lanzhou, which made Lanzhou the northwest gate of the Zhonghua River. The imperial court set up a navy office in Lanzhou to control the entire waterway of the Zhonghua River.

To be honest, Lanzhou's location is not very good. It is built on the Inner Great Wall. It is not in the center of Gansu's long and narrow terrain. Instead, it is closer to Shaanxi, which is not conducive to controlling the entire Gansu Province.

After Lanzhou was upgraded to Lanjing, Gansu provincial government was moved to Ganzhou. Ganzhou is very close to Jiuquan. Originally, Ganzhou was also a desolate place. However, after decades of governance, Ganzhou has become green. After the opening of the Zhonghua River, Gansu became drought-stricken. The problem was greatly alleviated, and Ganzhou had the capital to establish provincial governance.

However, the imperial court actually wanted to split up Gansu.

It is very unreasonable for Gansu to become a province.

Gansu is too long from east to west, spanning 1,600 kilometers from east to west. Even today with developed railways, such a long distance makes it difficult for officials to manage and for people to walk.

Moreover, there is still time difference.

The Ming Dynasty did not use unified Beijing time. At the beginning, the Ming Dynasty used four time zones, Heilongjiang time zone - Beijing time zone - Gansu time zone - Western Region time zone, each time zone differed by one hour.

But in the 55th year of Jingtai, some officials in the court believed that since four time zones were used, it was better to use the correct time zone.

The time zone of the Ming Dynasty is divided into time zones with the Forbidden City as the prime meridian.

The re-division of time zones continued until the 65th year of Jingtai. In the 66th year of Jingtai, it was decided to adopt eight time zones.

The Ming Dynasty spans eight time zones, so eight time zones are used directly.

In other words, the time difference between the most easterly and the most westward points is eight hours.

There is definitely a risk of division.

The old emperor was extremely opposed to it at first. He always wanted to use a unified time and did not adopt a multiple time zone system.

However, officials in the DPRK believed that since the Ming Dynasty chose to respect time, it would use accurate time. This is respect for time.

They argued for decades and eventually changed to different time zones.

Because of this, the old emperor scolded him in the Yangxin Hall. This was the root cause of the division of the Ming Dynasty, and it would be divided due to different times in the future.

Therefore, because Gansu spans two longitudes and belongs to the same province, the time difference is one hour.

Can Gansu not be split up?
The imperial court's intention was to disrupt the three provinces of Gansu, Qinghai, and Ningxia and redefine their territories.

This matter stuck with the old emperor. The old emperor believed that once the territory was determined, it should not be changed at will. Such large-scale changes in provincial boundaries would cause many unnecessary impacts and make the administration of officials very chaotic for a period of time.

Zhu Houying felt that Gansu spans so much that it takes two hours to make one province.

There are many provinces in the Ming Dynasty that have two time periods, but they are generally no-man's land. There are very few inland provinces like this.

The Western Region is also one province with two time zones, but it will be split soon, probably into two or three provinces.

Because the Ming Dynasty wanted to formally establish the sovereignty of the Pamir Plateau and the Hindu Kush Mountains, the Ming Dynasty wanted to add new provinces.

Split the Western Region, because the Western Region has become rich, and the China River has made the entire Western Region extremely livable, rich, and prosperous.

After the Yenisei River diverts water into the Western Region, it will nourish this land again, especially in southern Xinjiang, with one or even several large lakes.

Zhu Houying arrived in Lanjing.

This city, which had just been promoted to the capital, was just a military town before the Jingtai Dynasty and did not receive much attention.

In the early Jingtai Dynasty, not many resources were devoted to construction.

On the one hand, the northwest is not worth it; on the other hand, the land in the northwest is severely desertified and cannot support a huge population. Without a population, there is no economy, and without an economy, it cannot support industry.

Even before Lanzhou was upgraded to the capital, Lanzhou was only a small city with a population of about six million. It was considered a big city in the northwest, but it was only a mid-level city in the country.

It is also a rare city among all provincial capital cities that is not an industrial city.

Lanzhou's industrial base is very weak.

The main reason is that the natural environment limits the development of Lanzhou.

After more than fifty years of protecting water and soil, Lanzhou's ecology has been well protected. After the railway was connected, the imperial court also began to invest in building factories, develop industry, and lay an industrial foundation.

This process is relatively slow and happens silently.

Until Lanzhou was upgraded to Lanjing.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the population exceeded 10 million, and then continued to climb. Within a year, the population reached 20 million.

If there were no emergency restrictions on household registration, the population might reach 30 million or more.

Gansu's population moved to Lanjing on a large scale.

Everyone wants to have a registered residence in the capital.

The capital’s population is good.

The influx of 14 million people in an instant led to skyrocketing prices and house prices, traffic congestion, and serious social problems in all aspects.

Fortunately, the imperial court took control, otherwise housing prices would have collapsed.

Because even the locals in Gansu don't know that the housing prices in Lanzhou are similar to those in their small cities. When Lanzhou is upgraded to Lanjing, the housing prices will definitely rise due to the number of people, so they are buying houses like crazy.

There are also many real estate speculators who come to Lanjing to speculate on real estate.

Everyone subconsciously thinks that houses in the capital must be expensive, but this is not necessarily true. There are many capitals in Ming Dynasty, and housing prices are not expensive.

When urban construction stabilized, Lanjing's population began to decline, from 1300 million to million, and the permanent population dropped below million.

Because everyone just wants a household registration, and buying a house is just for investment.

You have to go out to work when you should, and you have to go back to your hometown when you should.

After Lanjing welcomed a brief influx of people, it returned to calm. After its sudden explosive economic growth, it entered a period of pain.

Moreover, as urban populations surge, cities begin to expand.

As a result, as soon as the old road was demolished, people disappeared. The local government was confused. You are not playing tricks on people.

As a city still short of water, although the natural environment has been overcome, it is not easy to become an industrial city with a weak ecology.

The imperial court's requirements for Lanjing were to maintain the core position of the northwest, fulfill the obligations of the capital, guard the northwest, focus on the development of light industry, and coordinate the development of heavy industry.

Zhu Houzhen just saw the desolate situation after Lanjing's short-term prosperity.

The total population of Gansu is only 1.1 million, and the permanent population is only 6700 million. The gathering of these people in Lanjing has already reached the ultimate potential.

Zhu Houyong’s impression of Gansu is that there is not much sand and dust and the effect of environmental management is remarkable.

As for saying that the economy is developed and people live and work in peace and contentment, that is pure nonsense.

The people here are all grimacing, because they just received a wave of bonuses, and in the blink of an eye, the bonuses disappeared by themselves. How can they not be miserable?

I made 10,000 yuan last month and 1,500 yuan this month. It's such a huge difference. It's so sad.

When Zhu Houying was in Lanjing, he received a telegram from his grandfather. His grandfather went to Kunlun to enshrine Zen and asked him to accompany him. He was forced to terminate the inspection. The next stop was originally scheduled to be Ganzhou.

This new provincial capital of Gansu is under expansion.

Ganzhou is not as crazy as Lan Jing. It originally had a population of more than one million, but now it has only increased to more than three million, which is the limit.

Zhu Houyong decided to go to Ganzhou to have a look after returning from Kunlun Mountain.

He was waiting for the train in Lanjing. Three days later, he boarded the train to Kunlun Mountain.

Zhu Jianjian was in a really good mood. Although he guessed that his father was worried about him and kicked him out of the capital, it was a certainty that the old emperor would abdicate.

He has already exchanged interests with many officials, and except for a few die-hards, everyone else has agreed to support him in taking the throne.

Besides, the old emperor had forcefully said abdication in public more than once.

Even if the old emperor wanted to regret it, it would be hard to stop.

Zhu Jianji could not imagine the possibility of the old emperor making a comeback.

This time, I brought Zhu Houyong with me to win over my great eldest grandson, so as not to be wooed away by my great eldest son.

On the way, Zhu Houying reported the inspection results to his grandfather.

Zhu Jianjian was also dealing with major national affairs on the train, and he never relaxed at all.

This is quite like the old emperor.

"Yong'er, what do you think about local affairs?" Zhu Jianjian asked.

"Back to my grandfather, my grandson thought that a single move would affect the whole body. Many problems were obvious, but there was no way to solve them, because once they were solved, a series of problems would be implicated."

Zhu Houyong smiled bitterly and said: "The Ming Dynasty is different from the Shang Dynasty. There are only three generations of Han people there, and the prototype of society was created by us alone."

"But the Ming Dynasty is the ancestral land of the Han people. They have lived here for six thousand years. There are too many humanities and sophistication in it."

Zhu Jianjian nodded: "The solemn purification of the Qing Dynasty is only a moment of clarity. If you want to clear up the world, it will not be a day's work."

"Grandpa and grandson always think that everything we see is fake."

Zhu Houyong said bluntly: "No matter where my grandson goes, he always feels that there is a layer of film between him and the people, and there is a long distance between him and the real place."

"No matter how hard my grandson tries, he can't see or touch him."

"So, my grandson suspects that what he saw and heard is all false, and someone deliberately let him know about it."

Zhu Jianyan's eyes showed satisfaction: "The fact that you have such insight shows that you have really grown up."

"Indeed, this is the case with the court."

"The more you try to see clearly, the less clearly you see. What you see clearly is what others let you see."

"The center is like this, and the local areas are like this."

"After my grandfather ascends the throne, I will let you serve as the governor of the place and see how the place operates. My grandfather was a governor when he was young, so he knows what the place is like."

Zhu Jianjian is now full of great ambitions: "The future of the Ming Dynasty lies in the hands of Gu Yuer!"

As soon as Feng Chan made preparations, he was ready. One month later, he would be able to return to the capital and ascend to the throne.

The more I thought about it, the more excited I became. I was so excited that I couldn't sleep.

In the capital, the old emperor slept very peacefully, and now it was Zhu Youyi who sat in the court and was in charge.

But Zhu Youyi didn't dare to make the decision on some matters, so she came to Yangxin Hall to ask.

He could have made a phone call, but in order to show his filial piety, the child ran back and forth, and even Zhu Qiyu was moved.

"Grandson, you will be the emperor in the future. After your father and I are gone, will you still open the Ancestral Temple to inquire about your ancestors?"

Zhu Qiyu said: "Letting you make decisions now is to sharpen you. When your father and I are gone, if you make the wrong decision, who will wipe your ass?"

"Don't worry and do it. I'll give you the details."

Zhu Youyi is so cute to the old emperor.

In fact, after returning to the Ming Dynasty, he had always been in charge of the affairs, and his father only made the final decisions on major matters. However, his father was very good at taking credit, scolding him whenever he made mistakes, and even constantly asking him to take the blame.

The old emperor was different. He didn't like people to take the blame. He would admit when he was wrong. It was so comfortable to work with such a kind elder.

Zhu Qiyu sent Zhu Youyi away and walked slowly in the hall, slowly getting used to it.

The body is recovering well.

Mainly because the fourth child was not in the capital, he no longer had to worry, so he recovered quickly after the operation.

Even if his health improves, he can still feel the rapid passage of life. His life has come to an end, and now he only relies on medicinal stones to extend his life.

Anyway, if you live a day, you will earn a day, so it’s worth it.

Zhu Qiyu cherishes his body very much. When he was young, he insisted on exercising and could not go a day without exercising because he did not want to age.

But when he got older, he exercised less, imitating the bastard, and stayed still as long as he could.

The secret to longevity is simplicity.

The old emperor had too many thoughts and couldn't be simple, but he could make himself have nothing in his heart. He was big-hearted, heartless, and had no one in his heart.

The second secret to longevity is selfishness.

Selfish people live long.

The kind of person who cares about this and considers that will not live long.

The third secret to longevity is maintenance.

The old emperor's control over eating, desire, etc. was at its peak. No one could control this kind of thing. The more powerful the person, the less able he was to control it because there were too many temptations. But Zhu Qiyu could live a life of pure and abstinent old age. .

Is there no one in the palace to seduce him? There are more than just them, they are gone now, but Zhu Qiyu can regard them as pink skulls, and he just doesn’t look at them.

As long as it was nutritious, he would eat it no matter how unpalatable it was. No one in the court could do it except him.

The fourth secret to longevity is contentment.

The old emperor is content. He has been the emperor of this world for sixty-eight years, has been in charge of the entire world, and has lived for ninety years. What else is there to be dissatisfied about?
In the ranking of emperors throughout the ages, they can still compete for three out of five, or even compete for first place.

Among emperors, he ranks among the top three in terms of longevity, power, and merit. Longevity is definitely the first, no doubt.

All the great emperors in history are extremely controversial. They have great military exploits and dark and cruel sides that are unknown to everyone. There is almost no perfect emperor.

Emperor Jingtai did not. He was a good and upright emperor. He thought he was the most perfect emperor in the history.

I wouldn’t say that I am a perfect old man, but I’m pretty much the same.

Anyway, Jingtai made the old emperor the best in the ages, surpassing Emperor Qin, Han Wu, Tang Zong, Song Zu, and even Emperor Taizu, making him the best in the ages.

Of course, brawlers and trolls are the product of extremes, so don’t pay attention to them.

None of their words are objective enough.

Zhu Qiyu believed that he could compete with three of the five emperors in the past. Among the top five, Qin Shihuang, Han Wu Emperor, Tang Taizong, and Ming Taizu, these four were confirmed.

In terms of merit, Genghis Khan must also have a place.

Then there will be no place for Zhu Qiyu. Who can be squeezed out?
If you have to squeeze, you can only push Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty down and send Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to sixth place. He will definitely be scolded. This kind of ranking is just to attract trolls.

However, in his truest opinion, Zhu Qiyu is actually quite shameless.

He believed that Zhu Qiyu was the first, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was the second, Genghis Khan was the third, Taizu the Ming Dynasty was the fourth, Qin Shihuang was the fifth, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was the sixth.

Directly ranked myself first!
Genghis Khan was more outstanding than Ming Taizu, his descendants were much more outstanding, and he conquered a large territory.

Of course, this is Zhu Qiyu’s own idea.

He didn't dare to take it out and tell others, wouldn't that be humiliating himself? He had squeezed Emperor Wu of the Han away. Looking at the achievements of Emperor Wu of the Han, are you Zhu Qiyu worthy?

Is it unfilial to be ranked in front of Emperor Taizu?
Can Zulong be ranked fifth? Is your head squeezed by the door? Zulong is number one, okay!

Even Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty had to be ranked second? Are you, Zhu Qiyu, number one? Where is the face?
However, from the perspective of military achievements, Genghis Khan did not conquer the world, but Zhu Qiyu did it. Based on this alone, who would be dissatisfied?
The Ming Dynasty transitioned from feudal society to industrial society and fed four billion people. Who can do it?
Among all emperors, the longest lived was Zhu Qiyu!
World hegemon, industrial hegemon, longevity, the best of the three, is it enough to be the first?

On stain.

Besides, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty killed his brother to force his father to ascend to the throne. He was relatively dim in his old age and his peak period was relatively short.

Genghis Khan was indeed powerful, but he only laid down the basic foundation. The vastness of the Mongol Empire was the joint efforts of three generations.

As for Ming Taizu, he started with a bowl and conquered the Ming Dynasty. His position was impeccable.

No matter how powerful Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was, he was still plagued by witchcraft in his later years.

If compared vertically and at the same age, Zhu Qiyu cannot compare with these emperors.

However, Zhu Qiyu has a huge advantage that no one can compare with, that is, he has lived long enough and made himself the emperor of the ages.

And he was not dim in his later years, because he took the initiative to give up power in his later years and lived in seclusion in the palace.

In his later years, there was no extreme political darkness like Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, nor was there the witchcraft disaster of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in his later years. Based on this alone, he completely defeated these two men.

Zulong is ranked fifth, which is a pity, but the people in front are too scary.

Someone put forward a hypothesis that Zulong died early. If he had died ten years later, Great Qin would have been destroyed in his hands.

The death of Qin II was a huge demerit for him, otherwise Qin Shihuang could move up and overwhelm Ming Taizu.

The seventh person should be Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty.

The eighth is Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, the ninth is Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty, the tenth is Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, the eleventh is Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty, the twelfth is Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the thirteenth is Wu Zetian, and the fourteenth is Emperor Shizu of the Yuan Dynasty.

After that it was very much.

These are the only emperors of the most amazing unified dynasty in history.

Zhu Qiyu thinks he can be the first.

Just because he is the emperor of the world, all countries in the world respect him as emperor. There is only one emperor in the world, and that is Zhu Qiyu.

He can command the whole world with just one word.

He won't brag to others, it's meaningless. As long as people in the world remember his good deeds, he will sooner or later become the number one in the Internet Temple.

As long as the future kings are still named Zhu, they will all be his descendants, Zhu Qiyu, and sooner or later he will be promoted to the first place.

"If I am not number one, who should be number one?"

Zhu Qiyu laughed, his face full of wrinkles: "The longest-lived emperor in history, the emperor with the greatest achievements, the emperor with the largest territory, the emperor with the most people under his command, the only emperor who rules the world... I have too many bests, No one in the future can surpass me."

"I have taken the advantage of living a long time."

"If I die at the age of fifty-one and Jingtai is twenty-nine years old, what will it look like at that time? It is just the prototype of development, and my great cause of enfeoffment has just begun."

"And that year, the amazingly talented Tang Taizong died. He created the most glorious Tang Dynasty."

"Taizong of the Tang Dynasty created too many miracles in his short fifty-one-year life."

"When I was the same age as him, I was just a mediocre person. Who would have thought that forty years later, I would still be alive. It was in my hands that Ming Dynasty developed into this."

"The advantage between me and Tang Taizong is that we live long enough."

"In the twenty-eighth year of Jingtai, when I was fifty, Qin Shi Huang died at the age of fifty."

"If I compare with Zulong, he is the time traveler!"

"Genghis Khan died at the age of sixty-three. When I was sixty-three, Jingtai was only forty-one years old. At that time, the Ming Dynasty had entered the right track of development, and the world had entered the climax of enfeoffment."

"Don't forget, Genghis Khan is the founder."

"Compared with Genghis Khan at the same time, I am far worse than Genghis Khan."

"But I lived thirty years longer than Genghis Khan!"

"Vertical comparison, between Genghis Khan and Zulong, Zulong seems to be more amazing than Genghis Khan. It's a pity that Qin Shihuang died early, otherwise how brilliant would the Qin Dynasty be!"

Zhu Qiyu murmured: "I will not compare with these two perverts."

"Emperor Taizu died when he was seventy-one years old. In fact, when comparing Genghis Khan and Emperor Taizu, Genghis Khan was more amazing. From the same miserable beginning, one created the Mongol Empire that spanned the Eurasian continent, and the other created the Ming Dynasty with Han people's clothes. towards!"

"With a little comparison, we can see that Genghis Khan is more powerful than Taizu, so Genghis Khan ranks higher than Taizu."

"Taizu seems to be no match for Zulong. Zulong is so amazing."

"When I was seventy-one years old, in the forty-ninth year of Jingtai, tsk tsk, the development of the Ming Dynasty was no longer the same as before. By that time, I had already become the prototype of the world emperor."

"In this comparison, it seems that I am not inferior to Taizu?"

"But, Taizu joined the army at the age of twenty-five and became king at the age of thirty-six... Hey, you can't compare, you can't compare, this is another old pervert!"

"I was too far off!"

"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty died at the age of seventy."

"Horizontal comparison, the achievements of the three emperors of Han Wu, Taizu, and Qin Shihuang, Qin Shihuang is actually more amazing, Taizu is second, and Han Wu Emperor is behind."

"Comparing the achievements of Ming Taizu and Qin Shihuang, Qin Shihuang is obviously more amazing."

"But why is Taizu ranked before Qin Shihuang?"

"Because Qin Shihuang is the remnant of the sixth generation of Fen, Taizu is the first bowl, Ming Dynasty is the country that was snatched from the hands of Mongolia, and Taizu is older than Zulong and has more achievements than Zulong, so Taizu is higher To Qin Shihuang."

"As for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he also inherited a great family fortune and created the prosperous age of the Han Dynasty."

"Where is I, who is seventy years old?"

"In the 48th year of Jingtai, my achievements must be higher than that of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so it is normal for me to be ranked first."

"The emperor of the Han Dynasty died at the age of sixty-two. When I was sixty-two years old, Jingtai was forty years old."

"In comparison, my achievements are far inferior to those of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty."

"Comparing all emperors vertically, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty may not be better than Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty at the same age. However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty lived so long that Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty could only be ranked seventh."

"Emperors of all dynasties, when compared with me, all suffered because of their age, but I am also superior in age."

"Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty died at the age of sixty-four."

"When I was sixty-four years old, Jingtai was forty-two years old."

"Vertical comparison, at the same age, I am not as good as Zulong, not as good as Emperor Wu of Han, not as good as Han Gaozu, not as good as Genghis Khan, not as good as Emperor Taizu, but a little better than Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty."

"The stain on Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was relatively large, and the second generation of the Sui Dynasty died. The accumulated family wealth was advantageous to Li Tang, and his life was also affected."

Zhu Qiyu pondered: "Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty died at the age of sixty-two. When I was sixty-two years old, Jingtai was forty years old."

"Son of the plane, I am far behind."

"However, compared to his two ancestors, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty is not as good as his ancestors, right? He is on par with Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty still suffered from the injustice of his position."

"Taizu of the Song Dynasty died violently when he was fifty. When I was fifty, it was only the twenty-eighth year of Jingtai."

"I am still a young child."

"Taizu of the Song Dynasty was indeed amazing and talented, but it was a pity that he died in a strange way, otherwise the two Song dynasties would never have ended up like this."

"Vertical comparison, the emperor at the age of fifty."

"Song Taizu seems to be even more amazing. The founding emperor was fifty years old and ascended to the throne at the age of thirty-four!"

Zhu Qiyu took a breath of air: "Tang Taizong, Ming Taizu, and Genghis Khan of the same age are not as good as Song Taizu."

"Starting a business from scratch, Song Taizu was only 33 years old when he ascended to the throne! He was younger than Yelu Abaoji! Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty ascended to the throne at the age of !"

Zhu Qiyu was also shocked. He had never thought of this level before.

Only by comparing vertically can we realize how powerful Song Taizu was.

What were these emperors doing at the age of thirty-three?

Taizu of the Ming Dynasty was still in rebellion and had not yet become King of Wu; Genghis Khan had not yet unified the Mongolian tribes; Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was still struggling; Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty was still hanging around in his hometown...

At the same age, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty became the Khan of Heaven, and Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty completed the unification of the world.

No wonder Tang Zong and Song Zu are so amazing here!

Zhu Qiyu had never noticed before that what was so amazing about Song Taizu was that he knew it when he saw Song Taizu's age. If he had not died, the Central Plains might have been unified hundreds of years earlier.

"After comparing my ages, I realized that among all the former emperors, I am a scumbag!"

"I have always thought that Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty was the son of a plane. I never thought that he would ascend to the throne of God at the age of thirty. The founding emperor, Emperor Taizu, was already forty years old when he ascended the throne of God."

"With the same poor background, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty had a smoother start than Taizu of the Ming Dynasty."

"However, this man's achievements seem to have been forgotten by history. Everyone thinks that Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty is the son of the plane, but they don't know that the thirty-year-old founding emperor! This gold content is really terrifying!"

"When I was thirty, I almost died of illness."

However, ascending to the throne does not mean unifying the world. Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty unified the world at the age of forty.

Emperor Taizu also ascended the throne first, and it took four years of Hongwu to unify the world.

Generally, those who ascend to the throne of God prove that they have great hope for success, which is generally not too bad.
