Daming: Spoilers about the future, Zhu Yuanzhang collapsed

Senseless!

Zhao Kuangyin was completely confused!
The whole person seemed to be struck by lightning!
Standing there like a fool.

With a clang, the axe he had been holding in his hand fell to the ground.

The noise made was quite big.

However, Zhao Kuangyin seemed not to have heard it at all and still stood there blankly.

Both eyes are out of focus.

Obviously he is still immersed in his own world and hasn't come out of it.

His mood at this moment was simply indescribable!

I just felt it was extremely ridiculous, and a lot of sadness, extreme anger and other emotions kept pouring out of my mind.

It made him completely confused.

did not think of!

He really didn't expect that the so-called Fengshan would be this kind of Fengshan!

These words really made him dumbfounded.

He knew from the beginning that the Fengshan performed by Zhao Heng must be full of water.

After all, the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun have not been recovered.

The country was also defeated by the Dangxiang people and lost several states, which led to the Dangxiang people breaking away from the Central Plains dynasty and establishing their own country.

To the outside world, it was a complete mess.

Simply don't be too embarrassed.

It is conceivable that if we were to perform Fengshan under such circumstances, we would be far behind those of Qin Shi Huang, Han Wudi, and Emperor Guangwu!

Naturally, the achievements are far inferior!
But no matter how watery it is, there is a limit after all.

Zhao Heng can still do some better things.

But who could have thought that the final result would be like this?

The so-called Fengshan is a complete joke!

Others would offer sacrifices to the gods on Mount Tai only after they had made sufficient achievements.

But he has no achievements to show for it, and just uses auspicious signs to make up the numbers.

Moreover, they are all man-made, so-called auspicious signs.

This is treating everyone in the world as fools!

Damn this bastard!

Those who tricked him into going to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to the gods also deserve to die!

It's simply the height of idiocy!
I thought what he had done before was embarrassing enough.

But now looking at it again, I realize that it is far from enough.

It's not shameful, it's even more shameful!

It's so embarrassing that I'll even go to my grandma's house to embarrass myself!

His face turned blue, then red, and then felt burning with pain.

How did the Song Dynasty become like this?
How could such a beastly emperor appear? !

In this way, the Song Dynasty will truly go down in history.

What a shame!

Even if he had tried his best to lower his expectations at the beginning?
But in the end I never expected it would be like this!
He took the initiative to inquire about the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai because he wanted to hear some better news.

Calm down and make yourself feel better.

But who could have thought that the information that was finally revealed would be this!
It's simply outrageous!

This surprise is really big!

After a while, Zhao Kuangyin's eyes suddenly rolled back, and his body fell straight backwards!

It turned out that he was so angry that he fainted!
Faced with this situation, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, Han Cheng and others were not surprised at all.

And they coped with it very skillfully.

He immediately stepped forward and caught Zhao Kuangyin, preventing him from falling to the ground.

One reason is that the ground is too hard.

On the other hand, there were still a lot of wood stumps on the ground that were made by Zhao Kuangyin.

It would be bad if you fell down and got stabbed.

The things that Emperor Zhenzong of Song did were really abominable and shameless.

Especially the Fengshan ceremony on Mount Tai, it is simply outrageous.

Before Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty, offering sacrifices to the gods at Mount Tai was definitely a special and glorious event.

It is the dream of many emperors.

However, after Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty performed the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai, he turned the event into a complete disgrace.

After him, no emperor went to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to the gods.

Even the prodigal Qianlong never went to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth.

At that time, he was also preparing to go to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to the gods.

But think about it, the last person to perform Fengshan at Mount Tai was a descendant of Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng.

I just forced myself to put this idea out.

I really can't afford to lose this person.

Besides, both Zhu Yuanzhang and Crown Prince Zhu Biao had experienced being so angry that they fainted after being spoiled by Han Cheng before.

So at this time, it was very easy to deal with.

Before Zhao Kuangyin fell to the ground, several people caught him and laid him flat on the ground.

Zhu Yuanzhang reached out and pinched Zhao Kuangyin's Ren Zhong point, trying to wake him up.

While rescuing Zhao Kuangyin, several people looked at each other, and their expressions were somewhat complicated.

There are still some concerns.

Boss Zhao’s psychological endurance is not very good!

Although the things that Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng did were indeed too brutal.

However, compared with the emperors who came after him, he can be said to be a dwarf compared to the giants.

He was so upset when he heard about Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng.

Then, what was his reaction when he heard about what other emperors had done, especially after hearing about the Jingkang Shame?
This...would you be so angry that you would die if you didn't come here?
Several people pinched the Ren Zhong point and sprinkled cold water on the face.

Zhao Kuangyin was soon rescued and woke up.

"brute!!"

"brute!!"

"How can there be such a beast?!

I'm going to chop you to pieces. I'm going to chop you alive!

I will tear you into pieces!

I will kill all your clans!!"

After being rescued by Han Cheng and others, Zhao Kuangyin was confused for a short time and then exploded.

He cursed loudly as if he was crazy.

I just want to poke a hole in the sky!

If he had not been extremely angry, he would have been a founding emperor after all, and would not have lost his composure like this in front of Han Cheng, Zhu Yuanzhang and others.

Even words like "killing nine generations of the clan" were spoken out!
“Well… As long as a man is alive, it is inevitable that his wife will be unvirtuous and his son will be unfilial.

The appearance of some beasts in later generations is also helpless.

If we count them carefully, which dynasty could have wise kings pass on from generation to generation?
Otherwise, the Qin and Han dynasties, Sui and Tang dynasties should have been passed down forever..."

Zhu Yuanzhang persuaded Zhao Kuangyin.

Tell Zhao Kuangyin not to be so excited.

He felt the same way about these things.

But...originally he was just persuading Zhao Kuangyin.

However, now that he had said these words, he recalled what he had learned from Han Cheng about the shit his descendants had done.

Suddenly I felt my chest rising and falling.

He has been unable to let go of these things for such a long time.

However, when he thought about it, he could still be taken to the future by a good son-in-law to deal with those unfilial descendants, but Zhao Kuangyin could not do that.

A lot of the resentment in my heart disappeared.

I feel that compared with Zhao Kuangyin, I am much luckier.

Although the Ming Dynasty also has many problems.

Especially after his death, the battle between the fourth brother and that beast Zhu Yunwen could be considered a change of emperor.

But no matter what, the emperor in the future will be his descendants.

Unlike Zhao Lao Da, the emperor who came after him was the descendant of his younger brother Zhao Lao Er.

It was not until later on, by chance, that the throne returned to his lineage again...

After Zhao Kuangyin started to smash things, he smashed two more chairs.

He picked up the axe, squatted on the ground, and chopped it all into pieces. Only then did Zhao Kuangyin seem to calm down a little.

He forced a smile, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and the others and said, "That... I couldn't control myself for a moment, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

"I understand. Anyone who knows these things will feel bad."

Han Cheng and Zhu Yuanzhang all nodded to show their understanding.

Among them, Zhu Yuanzhang also kindly asked Zhao Kuangyin whether he wanted to smash another chair.

Zhu Yuanzhang had a deep understanding of the incident of smashing chairs and tables.

Han Cheng looked at the tables and chairs that were smashed to pieces by Zhao Kuangyin, and other thoughts arose in his mind.

That is, according to records, Zhao Kuangyin had some illnesses before his death and his health was not very good.

Then the candle shadow and axe sound happened.

But the Emperor Zhao who came now looked very healthy just the day before the candlelight and axe sound occurred.

Apart from anything else, just by looking at the shape of the tables, chairs and benches he made, you can tell whether he is sick or not.

How strong the body is.

But the record says that he was sick.

In this case, I'm afraid it's very likely that someone is deliberately leading the patient to get sick.

This will shut up the world's mouths.

This led people at that time and in later generations to suspect that the cause of Zhao Kuangyin's death was due to his illness.

I felt that his death was natural.

"Brother Han, has this... beast done anything else out of the ordinary?"

After calming down and drinking another bowl of water, Zhao Kuangyin looked at Han Cheng, Zhu Yuanzhang and others with bloodshot eyes and asked again.

He just wanted to see what this beast could do to the Song Dynasty!
Han Cheng and Zhu Yuanzhang looked at each other and knew that it would be impossible to persuade Zhao Kuangyin at this time.

Moreover, looking at Zhao Kuangyin's physical condition, I feel that he is still quite capable.

It should be fine if we listen to some more exciting news.

At that moment, Han Cheng spoke up: "There are some other things.

For example, during the one and a half month journey of Fengshan at Mount Tai, Zhao Heng not only brought the "Book of Heaven" to enshrine the Emperor of Heaven at Mount Tai, but also to offer sacrifices to the God of Earth at Sheshou Mountain.

He also went to Qufu to worship Confucius.

In February of the fourth year of Dazhong Xiangfu, Zhao Heng once again brought the "Book of Heaven" to the west to worship Hou Tu in Fenyin, and promoted the name of Baoding County where he was located to Qingcheng Army.

In October of the following year, they fabricated a story that the ancestor of the Zhao family was "Zhao Xuanlang, the True Lord of the Nine Heavens", who descended to the Yan'en Hall in the imperial palace.

In the same year, Confucius' posthumous title was changed to "The Great Sage, the King of Literature and Propaganda."

In the first month of the seventh year of Dazhong Xiangfu, Zhao Heng went to Taiqingguan in Haozhou again to worship Laozi Li Er, who was revered as the founder of Taoism.

And conferred the title of Taishang Laojun Hunyuan Emperor on Laozi..."

"Damn it! This beast!!"

After Han Cheng said these few words, Zhao Kuangyin's chest immediately rose and fell again. He just felt extremely ashamed.

Some of them can't stay here any longer.

This beast, he is really addicted!

It’s really not shameful!

It is not enough to just offer sacrifices to the gods at Mount Tai, one must also do various other things.

Continuous Fengshan sacrifices.

How can he be so shameless?!
This is really whitewashing the truth. You even believe the lies yourself!
He had never seen such a shameless person!
Also, how much money would it cost to perform these endless Fengshan sacrifices?

Which one does not require huge amounts of money to support?
Use this money for the right things, such as border defense and people's livelihood...

Even if you just build a school to teach and educate people, it is good.

As a result, they all ended up in this meaningless Fengshan ceremony!
The key is that once you do it, you'll have to accept it.

And I can’t fucking stop!
Zhao Kuangyin was filled with anger again.

I just want to crush Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng and Zhao Heng's father together!

"...During the reign of Zhao Heng, a large number of government-run palaces and temples were built in the capital and in the provinces.

The court appointed relevant officials to be responsible for management.

At the same time, Zhao Heng established an honorary title related to the palace, which could receive an extra salary without having to take up the post.

This kind of official is often named after the person in charge of a certain palace or temple.

After Zhao Heng, palace officials became a special group of officials.

On the one hand, it illustrates the close relationship between the Song Dynasty and Taoism.

On the other hand, it also aggravated the severity of redundant officials and wasteful expenses.

The enshrinement of the Heavenly Book had a significant impact on the politics and finances of the Zhao Heng dynasty.

The Eastern Fengshan Campaign alone cost more than 8 million strings of cash.

The western sacrifice to Fenyin cost an additional 200,000 strings of cash, not counting the trip to Bozhou.

During the construction of the Yuqing Zhaoying Palace, 10,000 taels of gold and 5,000 taels of silver were used just to carve three statues.

As for the waste of those 2,610 buildings, you can imagine it.

If the Jingling Palace in the capital, the Taiji Temple and palaces and temples in various places are included.

The cost is difficult to calculate.

In the early years of Zhao Heng's reign, the Song Dynasty had undergone years of economic recovery, and the country was prosperous and the finances were good.

However, due to his superstitious behavior, he almost squandered all the savings of the previous generation.

By his later years, "the savings within him had been somewhat depleted."

Zhao Kuangyin's blood pressure soared again!
He knew that Zhao Heng's reckless behavior was definitely a lavish spendthrift and a waste of the country's money.

Wouldn't it be better to use so much money on practical things?
Why do you have to get it on these?

It's really like a son selling his father's land without any regret!

It is true that after signing the Treaty of Chanyuan, they no longer cared about the Liao Kingdom!

With so much money, it would be better to use it to strengthen the military, even if it means sleeping on straw and eating bitter food!

This is not what makes him most angry. What makes him most angry is that such a bastard has a long lifespan!

He has been emperor for so long.

Good people don’t live long, but evil deeds last for thousands of years! !

"…In the fifth year of Dazhong Xiangfu, Zhao Heng appointed his favorite concubine Liu as empress.

Since the end of the Dazhong Xiangfu period, Zhao Heng's health has deteriorated and he has gradually become moody.

Because Empress Liu had a strong ability to handle government affairs, Zhao Heng, in his later years, handed over many important matters to her or discussed them with her.

Empress Liu's ex-husband and later "brother" Liu Mei was appointed as the commander of the imperial guards in the third year of Tianxi.

He was also in charge of the department's affairs and held military power.

Several other leaders of the imperial guards also had close relations with Empress Liu.

Therefore, in Zhao Heng's later years, Empress Liu had a great influence on the political situation.

Since Wang Dan resigned from the position of prime minister due to illness in the first year of Tianxi, Zhao Heng appointed Wang Qinruo as prime minister.

Two years later, Wang Qinruo resigned and Kou Zhun returned to the court to be appointed prime minister.

In Zhao Heng's later years, two factions formed in the court that were in fierce conflict with each other.

One faction was headed by Kou Zhun, and included Li Di, Wang Zeng, Yang Yi, Sheng Du, as well as eunuch Zhou Huaizheng, general Cao Wei, and relative Li Zunxu.

The other faction is headed by Empress Liu and Ding Wei, and includes Cao Liyong, Ren Zhongzheng, Qian Weiyan, and the eunuch Lei Yungong! "

This beast really has no tricks at all!

This is going to stir up party strife and allow the harem to interfere in government affairs!
Even though he was in poor health, he still allowed Empress Liu to have so much power.

If he died, would there be another Wu Zetian in the Song Dynasty?

At this time, all of Zhao Kuangyin's fantasies about Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng were shattered.

The more I looked at it, the more I disliked it, and the more I wanted to smash it to pieces.

"...Zhao Heng's condition is sometimes mild and sometimes severe, and sometimes good and sometimes bad.

Around the first day of the Lunar New Year in the fifth year of Tianxi, his condition improved again.

Not only could he participate in government affairs himself, he also paid homage to the Emperor Taizong in the Qisheng Palace.

As a result, people inside and outside the court believed that Zhao Heng's illness had improved and he would recover soon.

But in February of the first year of Qianxing, Zhao Heng's condition worsened rapidly and he fell into a semi-comatose state.

On the 19th of the same month, Zhao Heng died in Yanqing Palace in Kaifeng.

He died at the age of fifty-five, having reigned for twenty-five years..."

Dead! Dead! It’s finally dead!
The beast is finally dead!
After receiving this news from Han Cheng, Zhao Kuangyin clapped his hands and cheered out loud!

From this we can see how angry he was because of what Zhao Heng did!
"After that beast died, did the Great Song Dynasty... have another Queen Mother interfering in government?"

Zhao Kuangyin took a breath and looked at Han Cheng and asked.

Han Cheng nodded and said: "Yes."

Zhao Kuangyin closed his eyes in a somewhat desperate manner...

“…Liu E was born in a humble family and entered the palace of Prince Xiang at the age of fifteen, but was later forced to leave.

He lived in the home of Zhang Qi, an attendant of Prince Xiang's palace.

After Song Zhenzong ascended the throne, he entered the palace.

She was promoted from a beauty to a virtuous concubine.

After Empress Guo died, Emperor Zhenzong appointed Liu E as empress.

Liu E was clever, well-versed in history, and had considerable political talent.

He was relied upon by Zhao Heng.

Later, Zhao Heng became seriously ill, and most of the state affairs were decided by Liu E.

When Emperor Zhenzong of Song died, he left a will that Liu E would be the empress dowager, giving her power to assist Emperor Renzong in government affairs.

When Renzong ascended the throne, he was still young and Liu E was in charge of government affairs from behind the curtain.

During his time in office, he followed the advice of Wang Zeng, Lu Yijian and others and buried the Heavenly Book together with Emperor Zhenzong in the Yongding Mausoleum.

An order was issued to ban the construction of palaces and temples and to abolish the palace and temple envoys.

The Court of Remonstrance was set up to understand the situation at the grassroots level, and corruption was severely punished to clarify the administration of officials.

Attach importance to water conservancy to develop agriculture.

He died on March 29th in the second year of Mingdao, at the age of 64.

His posthumous title was Zhangxian Mingsu.

Did Liu E put an end to the "Heavenly Book" movement that had existed for ten years during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of Song, Zhao Heng?
End factional disputes, develop water conservancy, establish the Court of Remonstrance, and set up provincial schools.

It laid a solid foundation for "Renzong's prosperous reign".

She is often mentioned together with Empress Lü of the Han Dynasty and Empress Wu of the Tang Dynasty.

Later generations said that he had "Lu Wu's talent but not Lu Wu's evil".

Liu E was good at governing the country, but she was also attached to power.

He concealed the life experience of Emperor Renzong of Song for a long time and sent Renzong's biological mother, Li Chenfei, to keep vigil for Emperor Zhenzong in order to separate Renzong and his mother.

It was not until Liu E's death that Song Renzong learned the truth...

Fang Zhonggong, the Palace Minister, once wrote a letter to ask Liu E to "follow the example of Empress Wu.

Cheng Lin, who was the acting governor of Kaifeng Prefecture and later became a prime minister, also presented a painting titled "Empress Wu's Court", which hinted that Liu E should become emperor.

Liu E asked the court officials for their opinions, but none of them dared to speak.

Only the upright Lu Zongdao said: If we do this, where will this emperor be placed?
Did Liu E eventually tear up the memorial that encouraged her to become emperor and throw it on the ground?
He stated: I will not do anything that would let down the ancestors of the Song Dynasty!
In November of the first year of Mingdao, Liu E decided that in February of the following year, she would wear imperial clothes and go to the Taimiao of the Song Dynasty to perform a grand sacrificial ceremony.

When the ministers heard this, many of them opposed it.

Xue Kui, the Shangshu and the Vice Minister of Rites, suggested: The Empress Dowager is wearing the emperor's attire. When she performs the ceremony in the Taimiao, is she performing the ceremony of a male emperor or that of a female concubine?
Liu E was unable to answer for a moment.

In February of the second year of Mingdao, although it was fiercely opposed by ministers.

Liu E once again wore the imperial robes and offered sacrifices to Emperor Taizu of Song and other emperors of the Song Dynasty in the Taimiao of the Song Dynasty.

As a compromise with the ministers and literati, the twelve-chapter pattern on the emperor's robes was removed, leaving only the Zong Yi and Zao chapters, which symbolized loyalty, filial piety and purity.

At the same time, no male emperor wears a sword..."

She is not as evil as Lu and Wu!
It’s not that she doesn’t want to be Wu Zetian, it’s just that her strength doesn’t allow her to become Wu Zetian!
Zhao Kuangyin was so angry.

However, if you really count it, Liu E's ability is much stronger than that beastly Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng.

"Oh, by the way, Jiaozi appeared when Liu E was in power."

Han Cheng said this and explained the matter of Jiaozi to Zhao Kuangyin briefly...

However, Zhao Kuangyin's mind was obviously not on this at the time.

"call……"

He exhaled deeply.

"Everyone, I have to go back and deal with this bullshit first!

After I finish solving this problem, I will come back here and meet you all.

Thank you for telling me what happened after the Great Song Dynasty.

Otherwise, I really wouldn’t have known that the Song Dynasty would become like this in the end.”

Zhao Kuangyin spoke with bloodshot eyes.

He also bowed very solemnly to Zhu Yuanzhang, Han Cheng, Zhu Biao, and Zhu Chong, who had always been a nobody.

Originally, he still wanted to hear a lot more.

After all, I only listened to two emperors.

But now he really couldn't listen any more.

I feel very depressed inside.

I just felt like I was going to explode.

If he didn't go back and resolve the issue, he felt that he might die before he could finish listening to the whole story.

According to his understanding of history, generally speaking, in a unified dynasty, the first few emperors were relatively wise and did better things.

It got worse and worse later on.

But when it comes to the Song Dynasty, it turns out that except for me, there are only one generation left.

The second and third generations of emperors have caused so much shit.

The emperor behind them! It's hard to imagine what they can do!

Therefore, he had to go back and deal with things first.

Make sure the Candle Shadow Axe sound doesn't happen again.

After he finished speaking, a gate of light soon appeared in front of him.

After paying respect to Han Cheng, Zhu Yuanzhang and the others, he disappeared a moment later...

……

In the Song Dynasty, Zhao Guangyi sat in the room with a sinister look on his face...
