Chapter 732 Thank you, Brother
"Eastern Han Kindergarten?"

Liu Bei, who was just listening to the story, didn't expect to be shot at.

After looking at the light curtain for so long, he knew that later generations referred to the Two Han Dynasties as the Eastern and Western Han Dynasties, which were divided according to the location of the capital.

The search scope is this dynasty, and adding keywords such as "support", "infant", and "control", it becomes clear what this Eastern Han kindergarten is talking about.

Liu Bei was at a loss for words, and finally he could only shake his head and said self-deprecatingly:
"We Han people have set many examples for future generations to follow."

But soon after, seeing that the Taiding Emperor, who had been supported by him, died in his prime after only eight years in office, Liu Bei could not help but feel a little strange:
"But why do all Yuan emperors have such short lives?"

Kong Ming put down the pen in his hand, flexed his wrist and said:

"Before I knew about the Yuan court, Dr. Zhang and I had talked about the Hu people."

"The Hu people all live in the bitter cold lands outside the Central Plains in the north, where they are poor and poorly clothed and poorly fed. Those who can survive are all brave and valiant."

“Thus, those who have gained wealth and status and escaped from a cold and harsh land often lack physical strength and indulge in excessive drinking and overeating, which results in a short life.”

Liu Bei nodded. He was convinced by what Kong Ming said.

Then I heard Meng De, who was sitting in the distance, bowed and said loudly:

"Every word that Zhuge said makes sense. And from what I learned during my expedition against the Wuhuan, few people died from excessive drinking, but many died from physical discomfort caused by overeating."

"It is clear that this situation is not unique to the Hu Yuan, but also faced by the Xiongnu who returned to the Han Dynasty."

Kong Ming thought for a moment and nodded:
"What Prime Minister Cao said is consistent with the judgment of Dr. Zhang. As for those who died from excessive drinking, it may be related to the innovation of winemaking technology mentioned before and after."

Then Cao Cao smiled slightly and said:

"I am a prisoner of the military advisor, how dare I be so arrogant? If you don't mind, you can just call me by my courtesy name..."

Liu Bei felt for a moment that he was worthy of being Cao Cao.

Even though his leg injury had not healed, and even though everyone in the hall was his enemy, he was still able to remain calm and shamelessly try to get close to Kong Ming.

At this moment, the voice in the light curtain slowly read out a list of examples of usurping the throne, and Cao Cao's name was prominently listed among them, interrupting his words.

Seeing Prime Minister Cao dumbfounded, Liu Bei, who had never seen him like this, felt very curious and immediately joked:

"Meng De, do you think that Prime Minister Yuan's behavior is appropriate?"

Rubbing his face, Cao Cao's voice was a little dull:

"Of course it is not appropriate. If the prince is only nine years old, then the sooner he ascends the throne, the better."

"After that, he always recalled his father's kindness in front of the young emperor, and denounced those who were unhappy as those who did not appreciate the grace of heaven."

"After the regency took power, there were nobles outside, but the only one the weak emperor could rely on was the prime minister."

Kong Ming chuckled and shook his head, continuing to concentrate on pondering the much-simplified records in front of him.

Looking at Cao Cao, who was distracted but calm, Liu Bei felt a little sad:

"If Meng De could be born in this Yuan court..."

Before he could finish his words, Cao Cao stopped him with a smile:

"Kill me if you want, why did Xuande curse me?"

"However, this Sima Yi..." Cao Cao said with some hesitation.

When Zhang Fei told him that Sun, Cao and Liu would all belong to the Sima family, he was still shocked in his heart. He was still surprised at the ending of the Cao family and the fact that the Cao family replaced the Han Dynasty. He still thought that it was fate that brought Sima to the throne.

But isn’t this Sima Yi the person he sent to contact Han Sui and then disappeared without a trace?
If Liu Bei had known about the future and the light curtain, he would have captured Sima Yi. However, the Han emperor was still alive. Was it necessary to act so early? Or was there something special about Sima Yi?
"That Sima Yi."

Zhang Fei affirmed directly, shook his head and said with a smile:
"We will slaughter your clan and seize your kingdom. The Sima clan will treat the Cao clan the same way the Cao clan treated the Han clan."

"But now Sima Yi is in Yunnan to educate the natives. Prime Minister Cao, why don't you thank my elder brother?" Cao Cao bowed slightly and said nothing, but he remembered more things.

Thinking of the letter Zhang Fei wrote at the end of the Battle of Jingxiang, the miraculous ship, the sudden rebellion in Jiangdong, etc., he finally sighed.

The meaning of Liu Bei and Cao Cao's words is unclear, but Pang Tong, who is focused on his task, is much more relaxed.

"Kong Ming, I never thought that we could conquer all the Mongol emperors in such a short time."

"How come all the Yuan emperors died young, except for Kublai Khan who lived to be eighty?"

"Moreover, the succession of the throne is too chaotic. Even later generations said that after the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, some Han people willingly became Yuan citizens and called the Ming people traitors. What was their intention?"

Kong Ming stopped writing and looked up at this random sigh for a long time, and finally said quietly:

"Throughout the ages, the study of learning has not been about ability, but about loyalty."

"Only when one is loyal and obedient and has a good reputation in literature can one maintain integrity, regardless of whether one is Chinese or foreign."

Pang Tong shook his head: "But there must be a limit."

"Border limit..." Kong Ming shook his head and said, "It's just a difference."

"The difference lies in what one seeks in studying, whether it is to save oneself, to save the people, or to save China. It is different."

“The road to scholarship is long, and there are still many things we can do.”

……

"This year of my life has such an unusual meaning?"

In the Huagai Palace, Empress Ma looked at her husband and became happy again, as if she had temporarily forgotten her previous unhappiness. She shook her head and sighed:

"So, I am indeed born with destiny and can seize the throne of the Hu Yuan Dynasty!"

My husband has always been a little concerned about his background, and Empress Ma knows it.

Because once you open the history books, you can see that this person was born with auspicious signs, that person killed a white snake during an uprising, or there were people like Emperor Taizong of Tang who started making achievements on horseback before he even reached the age of adulthood.

As for the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, he didn’t have enough food to eat when he was young…

When looking back on his achievements, my husband often feels proud of them, but occasionally he also laments that he is far inferior to the ancient wise emperors.

The current statement about the light curtain seems to have found a footnote for it.

However, Zhu Zhen blinked and soon discovered a problem:
"Fourth brother, didn't you say that there are 10,000 people born on the same day in the world? Then there must be a million people born in the same year. A million people will seize the Yuan Dynasty. No wonder the Yuan Dynasty was destroyed."

Zhu Di closed his eyes in pain:

"I didn't say that, Lao Liu, please don't accuse me."

"And even if we were born in the same year, can other people be the same as Daddy?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's anger had just risen a little when he heard the queen burst out laughing and turned to comfort him:

"What Lao Liu said is correct. Even if there is a destiny, if Chongba does nothing, can he still establish the Ming Dynasty and rule the world?"

"Even if there is a destiny to destroy the Yuan Dynasty, this destiny is determined by human effort. What I like is Chongba as a person and what he does, not Chongba's birthday."

These words made the Ming emperor blush a little:
"My sons are all here..."

[In 1328, Zhu Yuanzhang was born. But let's give little Chongba some time and space to play in the mud and dig out bird eggs. After all, when he grows up, he will not have much time to enjoy such pure happiness.

Because at this time, another famous figure stepped onto his stage: Tuotuo. 】
