Edit the history, and count the top ten emperors at the beginning!

Chapter 131 If you want to win the world, there is no better way to call Kou Lao

[Zhang Juzheng, as the chief assistant, possesses immense power. His corruption and power games have become a place that has been criticized by future generations, and it has also left him with many controversial places.

But this cannot completely conceal his contribution to the Ming Dynasty, because it was his reforms that gave the Ming Dynasty a breather, achieved a short-term recovery, and slowed down the pace of decline.

After his death, the later Shoufu abolished Zhang Juzheng's reforms in order to cater to the emperor, and the Ming Dynasty began to decline again.

Zhang Juzheng ranks No.10 among the top ten famous figures in history, and he deserves it! 】

After Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhang Juzheng's final evaluation, he asked himself: "Corruption, greed. If this guy was in our era, I'm afraid he won't survive the second video. But Zhu Yijun can't tell the good from the bad, and he only cares about venting personal grievances. Not a good emperor."

Indeed, with Lao Zhu's murderous nature, if Zhang Juzheng dared to act like he did in the Wanli Dynasty during the Hongwu period, beheading would be light, and he might end up killing his whole family.

Zhu Di also had concerns. The civil service group was already very difficult to deal with, otherwise he would not have reused eunuchs to achieve the goal of balancing the court.
"The contribution of this position is too high, and the power is too great, any emperor will be jealous.

It's just that even if Zhang Juzheng has many problems, the Wanli Emperor shouldn't completely deny them. Those with bad influence can be eliminated, but these rather effective reform measures should be well preserved. "

The other emperors basically had the same idea: "Zhang Juzheng's reform measures are good, but he is still open to discussion."

After all, no emperor likes to raise a minister who is more powerful than himself. Isn't that purely uncomfortable.

The capital of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Wanli and others saw a miraculous live video broadcast hanging high in the air.

Although I don't know who this "Su Qian" is, but he can "inform" Zhang Juzheng's merits and demerits to the world in this unpredictable way, at least it shows that he is not an ordinary person.

"Go and find this Su Qian!" Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun hated this kind of high-ranking and righteous people the most, just like he hated Zhang Juzheng who always blamed himself.

"Your Majesty, this Su Qian has unpredictable abilities, we still have to be careful!" Someone stood up and advised Zhu Yijun.

With a disdainful smile, Zhu Yijun asked, "Hmph! It's just pretending to be a ghost, don't you just be afraid of him like that?"

"This" the ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, and it would be a lie if they said they were not afraid.

After Zhang Juzheng's video was played, it was the next one's turn, which was the ninth-ranked name.

I saw that the light curtain gradually dimmed first, and then when the screen lit up again, a portrait of an upright old man appeared in the center of the light curtain.

At the same time, a poem appeared next to his portrait,

[For 40 years, I have been rich and honored.Traveling in hazy clouds, walking like flat ground.In the Zifu Dantai Immortal Book, everyone knows that he is unique, good at unparalleled beauty. 】

[Who dares to compare the general and the glory.The colorful phoenix hovers and bathes in the water of Xunchi again.An extremely human minister has contributed to the world, and the fragrance of the world sings peaches and plums. 】

Unlike previous poems written by emperors or generals who were written by later generations, this song "Die Lian Hua·Prosperity in the Past 40 Years" was written by the old man in the portrait.

This poem is about the life course and achievements of a successful official.

The first sentence "I have been rich and honored for 40 years" shows that the protagonist has made great achievements in officialdom and enjoys a wealthy status.

The next few sentences describe the protagonist's proud official career, wandering in the fairyland-like haze, walking with ease.He also said that his talent is not only praised in the world, but even the Zifu Dantai in the sky knows that he is incomparable.
Later, when writing about successful officials, the poet expressed the hero's noble status and arrogance through "who dares to compare with generals and ministers".

However, he is not just a seeker of power, but also pays special attention to his own cultivation and temperament.

In the poem, "the colorful phoenix hovers and takes a heavy bath in the Xunchi water" describes that the protagonist bathes physically and mentally in the natural beauty to enrich his spiritual world.

The last sentence, "The meritorious service of a great minister helps the world, and the fragrance of the world sings peaches and plums" is a high praise of the hero's achievements.

His career is not only a personal pursuit, but also related to the world, and he will contribute his achievements to the world.At the same time, his personality charm and moral demeanor have also been widely praised in the world like the fragrance of peaches and plums.

Generally speaking, this poem mainly shows the hero's officialdom success and personality charm, full of pursuit and longing for career, and at the same time wants to express his noble personality and moral style.

[Although this poem seems a little narcissistic, overall it is quite true to the author's own situation. 】

"Heh! Is this guy boasting himself? What a thick skin."

"I know that this poem was written by Kou Zhun, a famous Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty. I have to say, Kou Zhun is really worthy of this poem!"

"If you want to win the world, there is no better way to call Mr. Kou! If you want me to say, this poem written by Mr. Kou is just a true introduction of his own achievements and ideals."

Amidst the discussion among the crowd, the title of this video appeared on the screen,

[Hi everyone, welcome to this short video: Inventory of the Top Ten Famous Figures in History! 】

[Ninth place among the top ten famous figures in history: Kou Zhun, the famous prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty! 】

【Producer: Su Qian】

[In the first year of the Jin Dynasty, Shi Jingtang rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and stood up for himself, hoping to become emperor.

However, judging from Shi Jingtang's strength at the time, his move was undoubtedly suicidal.

Moreover, what no one expected was that in order to become emperor, he took a move that made future generations resentful, that is, he took the initiative to become the son of the emperor of Liao, and ceded all sixteen prefectures of Yanyun to Liao in the north. country in exchange for Khitan's support.

From then on, the power of the Liao Kingdom increased substantially, even to the point where it could directly threaten the regime in the Central Plains.

Later, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms came to an end, and Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin established the Song Dynasty, but the Yanyun Sixteen States still could not be fully recovered.

However, Song Taizu at this time actually hoped to take back this important strategic area, but he followed the policy of "first easy and then difficult" and "first south and then north" and wanted to level up the later Shu and later Tang, but the result was not It didn't go as smoothly as he imagined, and he didn't make time to deal with the northern regime. 】

[In the period of Song Taizong Zhao Jiong, a far-reaching war broke out, which was called "Yongxi Northern Expedition" by history.

Regrettably, this war ended in the disastrous defeat of the Song Dynasty. It was from this time that the Song Dynasty began to voluntarily avoid the war, and the Liao Kingdom gradually increased the frequency of southward invasion. 】

Speaking of Song Taizong, even Zhao Ji couldn't help complaining: "Oh, Taizong is still too confident. He doesn't have the military command talent like Taizu, but he insists on being brave."

After the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, in order to strengthen the centralization of power, the emperor adopted the policy of "emphasizing literature over military affairs" to establish a country.

Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin established the country with literature, took back the military power of the generals, and prevented the recurrence of the separatist regime in the late Tang Dynasty. Under this social atmosphere, more and more people abandoned martial arts and followed literature. Strength is also gradually fading.

However, under such circumstances, Song Taizong insisted on going his own way, causing the Song army to suffer successive defeats in the war.

The consequence of this is that officials, people, and even the army began to doubt their own combat capabilities, and gradually lost confidence in the Liao Kingdom's operations.
