The short video shows the ancient times, and the emperors cried with envy!

Chapter 758 Who is the most slandered emperor in history? Li Shimin: Is it me?
[After Yang Ye surrendered to the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin attached great importance to him and directly appointed him as the commander of the imperial guards, which was a top-notch official! ]

[Yang Ye had seven sons, but only three of them were recorded in history: Yang Yanzhao, Yang Yanyu, and Yang Yanlang. They were not the Sixth and Seventh Sons mentioned in the storybooks.]

[The most famous among them is Yang Yanzhao, also known as "Yang Liulang". He is the real main force of the Yang family, with great military exploits and a powerful presence at the border.]

[Yang Yanzhao lived up to everyone's expectations and inherited his father's legacy. He made many military achievements and defeated the Khitan army. ]

[An interesting fact: Yang Yanzhao was a tough guy on the battlefield, but he was well-known for being humble and polite in the court. This is the true combination of civil and military skills! ]

[Although the Yang family generals in real history were not as legendary as those in the novels, their deeds of fighting for the country and defending their homes and homes are still worthy of our respect.]

[The most regrettable thing is that Yang Ye was besieged at Yanmen Pass and died a heroic death because of the lack of timely support. This period of history is really sad. ]

[The reason why the story of the Yang family generals has been passed down through the ages is not only because of their outstanding military exploits, but more importantly, their family tradition of loyalty to the emperor and serving the country, which has been passed down from generation to generation.]

[Interestingly, the story of the Yang family generals became more and more legendary among the people, and later even included female generals such as Mu Guiying. Although it was an artistic creation, it also indirectly reflects the status of the Yang family generals in the hearts of the people.]

Barrage:

——"The name Yang Wudi is not called in vain!"

——"The generals of the Yang family in history are even more handsome than in the drama!"

——"Wait, Mu Guiying made it up?!"

——"Zhao Kuangyin really knows how to employ people. The Yang family has done so much for him!"

——"The Yanmen Pass incident was really tragic. If only support had been provided in time, this is a historical regret!"

……

After reading the introduction to the Yang Family Generals, the ancients were amazed and speechless!

The whole family is good at fighting.

But Yang Ye is also quite fertile.

With seven sons, if this happened in later generations, it would be difficult just to feed all these children.

But he also has real skills.

He first served as an official in the Northern Han Dynasty, and later defected to the Northern Song Dynasty. It is not something that ordinary people can do to make such a sudden change.

This skill is also good.

At least I saved my family's lives and had a better future.

……

Ming Dynasty plane.

Li Zicheng looked at the story about the Yang Family Generals with a complicated expression.

Speaking of the Yang family generals, Li Zicheng couldn't help but touch his thigh.

The father and son Yang Ye are indeed quite interesting.

After joining the Northern Song Dynasty, he was quite good at being loyal to the emperor and serving the country.

However, in his view, this kind of aristocratic family is like a double-edged sword of imperial power.

The Yang family is good at fighting, but if this kind of family is not managed well, it will be a big trouble.

From grandfather to grandson, each of them is a good commander of troops. Which emperor would not be afraid of them?

Yang Ye is a down-to-earth man.

He was doing well in the Northern Han Dynasty, but when it fell, he had no choice but to switch to the Northern Song Dynasty.

What's the point of being loyal to the emperor and serving the country? In the end, doesn't it still depend on the situation?

Although Li Zicheng himself was an insurgent, wasn't he forced into it after all?
If the imperial court could really treat the people of the world the same way it treated the Yang family, Li Zicheng might still be farming honestly now.

……

The new sky video slowly opens.

[To what extent can the emperors in history be slandered? ]

[Who is the one who was slandered the most? ! ] Tianmu threw out two magical questions at the beginning.

Immediately afterwards, the portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang slowly emerged.

Zhu Yuanzhang's mood had just calmed down and he was about to continue watching the fun.

Suddenly I saw my own portrait.

Suddenly he was startled.

What's going on?
Why does my portrait appear in this video?

Could it be that people in later generations feel that this portrait does not depict themselves?

Well, it’s indeed a bit different!

I would like to be more dignified.

People in later generations must also think that they are the one who has been criticized the most!

As Zhu Yuanzhang was comforting himself, the sky continued to unfold.

In the portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang on the skylight, he is sitting on Long Yi with a stern expression.

The imperial power emanating from him was like a dragon emerging from the sea, shocking everyone!

[This is a portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He is wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and a Yishan crown on his head, and he looks extremely majestic.]

[From the painting, we can see that Zhu Yuanzhang's facial features are clear, his eyes are sharp, and his expression is solemn. ]

[This painting truly shows the majesty of the founding emperor, allowing future generations to get a glimpse of his great talent and vision.]

[According to the "History of Ming Dynasty", this painting was painted by Yan Hui, a painter who was a founding hero of the Ming Dynasty, during the Hongwu period.]

[This famous painting is now in the collection of the National Palace Museum in Taipei. It is a classic work of Ming Dynasty court figure painting.]

The scene on the sky changed, and another portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang slowly emerged.

The Zhu Yuanzhang in this painting is completely different from the majestic and solemn image just now. His face is disproportionately thin and looks like an old-fashioned shoe horn.

The pointed chin protrudes forward, the thin cheeks are sunken inward, and the cheekbones are very prominent!
The person in the painting has dull eyes and a wooden gaze. Where is the majesty of an emperor?

If it weren't for the dragon robe on his body, it would be hard to believe that this was a portrait of the founding emperor.

The sky screen continued to play, and the picture switched to the image of Zhu Yuanzhang in a series of modern film and television works.

Especially in the drama "The Glory of the Tang Dynasty", Zhu Yuanzhang's iconic long face suddenly turned around and glared at Zhu Di in an exaggerated posture!

The sudden turning of his head coupled with his long and thin face looked extremely terrifying!
[Nowadays, most people’s impression of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang is still on that famous shoe horn! ]

[But you may not know that Zhu Yuanzhang was a handsome man when he was young~]

[Historical records show that when Zhu Yuanzhang was young, he attracted the heart of Ma Yingxiu with his good looks. The later Empress Ma was a famous beauty! ]

[You know, in that era where appearance was everything, the fact that Empress Ma liked Zhu Yuanzhang already explains a lot! ]

[Then the question is, why does the portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang that has been handed down to us look so different? ]

[In fact, there is a lot of knowledge in this! In the ancient people's concept, the emperor cannot look too ordinary! ]

[The appearance of an emperor is naturally different from that of an ordinary person. Therefore, when painting, painters will deliberately highlight the emperor's special features.]

[The high forehead and slender face in the portrait are deliberately created by traditional painters to show the majesty of the dragon! ]

[In the eyes of ancient people, this kind of appearance is a symbol of "True Dragon Son of Heaven", representing an extraordinary emperor! ]

[So, the portraits that we think are weird now were considered a high compliment at that time! ]

[However, when it comes to the extent to which he was slandered by later generations, Zhu Yuanzhang's experience is not the worst.]

Barrage:

——"Empress Ma: Am I blind? I'm really not blind!"

——"It turns out that the shoe-horn face is an ancient aesthetic. I've learned something."
