The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 361 Taishan: From today on, no one can be enthroned above my head!

Southern Song Dynasty
"orthodox……"

Zhao Shen sighed, touched the stone table beside him and remained silent.

At the beginning of Emperor Gaozong's founding of the country, he still used the defense against the barbarians and the recovery of lost territories as a means to maintain the orthodox legitimacy of his secluded territory.

But with the death of Yue Fei, the prospect of a successful Northern Expedition became slim.

The so-called orthodoxy can only be based on the Chinese bloodline.

The ancient Central Plains is gone.

The legal system of the previous dynasty is no longer in existence.

The emperor did not set an example...

What else do we have...

Zhao Shen looked up at the sky.

What else can we do?

……

Ming dynasty.

"The Great Song Dynasty...orthodox..."

Zhu Yuanzhang muttered.

How precious is the silver used as annual tribute!

How difficult it is to find silver mines and smelt silver!
The emperor doesn't have to pay a penny to buy the Zhao family's regime with the people's money!

"It would be great if you could use this time to develop yourself."

"What do you think they think?"

Zhu Biao on the side murmured:
"From my perspective, it should be the same as the old days when the six states submitted to Qin."

"They are afraid, and they think they are the Celestial Empire and the orthodox Central Plains."

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't understand why they were so obsessed with the prosperous dream of the Celestial Empire?
"During the reign of Emperor Renzong, the Song Dynasty raised its annual tribute to the Liao Dynasty to 300,000 pieces of silk and 200,000 taels of silver."

"During the reign of Emperor Shenzong, military expenditures accounted for eight-tenths of the national budget. The people's money was used to support the army in addition to paying tribute."

"Before we could feed the Liao, the Tanguts came again."

"Fan Wencheng resisted on the border for three years, but in the end he still had to seek peace."

"Song gave Xixia silver, silk, tea and other valuables worth 260,000 taels of silver every year."

"Then the Kingdom of Jin...Song Huizong gave the Kingdom of Jin 300,000 rolls of silk, 200,000 taels of silver, plus 1 million strings of cash every year, and also ceded several pieces of land."

"The Song Dynasty originally hoped to buy peace with money, but it didn't know that the annual tribute helped the development of the Liao and Jin dynasties and nurtured the armies of the two countries."

"Paying compensation and ceding territory are not the two things that will bring peace and prosperity to the world."

"But it will cause disasters and chaos to grow bigger!"

"They still have the nerve to mention orthodoxy!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he slammed the table!
If you work harder, do we still need to recognize the Yuan Dynasty as the orthodox one?
Who would have thought that if you didn’t work hard, the harder you work, the more the land shrinks!

"Fuck it!"

……

Ming Dynasty - Renzong Period
"The Treaty of Chanyuan enabled Song and Liao to maintain their brotherly relationship for a hundred years and to defend their respective borders."

"But this was only a last resort when both sides were evenly matched. The Song Dynasty never gave up the desire to recover Yanyun."

There was no trace of blood on Zhu Gaochi's fat face.

Zhu Zhanji, who was standing by, supported him and walked slowly in the courtyard.

"Compared with the unified Sui and Tang dynasties, the Song people's view of the world was complex, and the world they spoke of sometimes referred to actual borders."

"But more often, the world refers to an ideal area like the old borders of the Han and Tang dynasties."

Zhu Zhanji was a little surprised.

"Ideal range?"

Zhu Gaochi coughed twice and whispered:
“Starting from the Song Dynasty, the debate between Chinese and barbarians changed from a practical strategy to an imaginary order.”

“It has gone from being truly institutionally condescending to being self-consoling in an imaginary world.”

“But the concepts of the center of heaven and the Celestial Empire still dominate people’s imagination of the world.”

After taking a deep breath, Zhu Gaochi sighed:
"This gap between ideal and reality made the Song emperors not forget to restore China's territory during its heyday, even though its weakened national strength limited its offensive capabilities."

"That is why, despite facing great risks, Song Huizong still chose to ally with Jin to destroy Liao and recover Yanyun."

“This is an obsession deep in my bones.”

……

Qing Dynasty Yongzheng Period
Looking at the word "orthodoxy", Yongzheng thought of something.

"During the Song and Ming dynasties, there was a distinction between the barbarians and the Chinese."

"They see an unbridgeable racial divide between the Han and Manchu peoples."

"Although the Emperor Kangxi advocated the rule of the country through the philosophy of Confucianism, he did not propose any new ideas on how to deal with the distinction between the Han people and the barbarians."

Upon hearing this, Hongli raised his head and said with a smile:
"My father is really amazing. He said that all the ancient Chinese saints and emperors were born in the Yi people. It's just that their birthplaces and directions were different."

"The conclusion that saints do not have to come from one place bridges this gap."

"It also solves the loophole that saints can only be born in the civilized land of the Central Plains, and cannot appear in the wild areas of the north."

Yongzheng looked at him while twisting the jade beads, and Hongli restrained his smile.

"Do you know what the problem is?"

Hongli nodded, then shook his head and said:

"After getting rid of the shackles of being a barbarian, the next step is to start working on how to join the Chinese orthodoxy."

"But how to join... I don't know."

Yongzheng placed the jade bead on the table in front of him, looked up at the sky and said thoughtfully:

"I actually didn't know... but now I know."

Hongli looked at Yongzheng curiously.

"We have to acknowledge the Hongwu Emperor's views."

"The Yuan Dynasty was a unified country, and its rule was a successor to the Song Dynasty rather than the Liao and Jin regimes."

"The Yuan Dynasty can be reasonably connected to the historical context of the Song Dynasty, and should not be excluded from the list of orthodox dynasties because it is a non-Han regime."

Hongli's eyes lit up.

As long as the Yuan Dynasty entered the orthodox lineage dominated by the Han people.

Only the Qing Dynasty, which was also a foreign regime, had similar qualifications!
If the Qing Dynasty succeeded the Liao and Jin orthodoxy, it would have completely lost its inheritance relationship with the Yuan Dynasty!
This would fall into the trap of the distinction between the barbarians and the Chinese set up in advance by Neo-Confucianists of the Song and Ming dynasties!
"Ama wise!"

……

On the canopy.

Zhao Heng, wearing a straight-footed hat and a crimson gauze palace robe, sat on the golden throne.

His Highness, the Prime Minister, has just finished his audience with all the ministers.

Suddenly, a warrior from outside rushed into the hall.

He knelt on the imperial road, pointed outside the door and said loudly:
"Your Majesty! There is a yellow silk hanging on the left southern owl tail of Chengtian Gate!" Zhao Heng was stunned, and then he was suddenly overjoyed.

"Hahahaha! It's true! It's true! There really is a heavenly book!"

His Highness the Prime Minister stepped out to inquire.

Zhao Heng said with a happy expression:
"One night a month ago, I was just about to get dressed and go to sleep when suddenly the whole bedroom was lit up!"

"I was shocked, and suddenly I saw a divine man appear before my eyes!"

"This person wore a star crown and a crimson robe and said to me: 'On January 3, a Huanglu Daochang should be built in the main hall. Then three chapters of the heavenly book "Da Zhong Xiang Fu" will be sent down. Do not reveal the secret!'"

"I was horrified and just as I stood up to answer, the god suddenly disappeared."

"I dare not neglect it and immediately wrote it down with a pen."

"After that, I ate vegetarian food and fasted, built a temple in Chaoyuan Hall, and waited respectfully for a whole month. Finally, the Heavenly Book arrived!"

Upon hearing this, all the officials knelt down and shouted:
"The Emperor was born in Song Dynasty!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

……

【After the Treaty of Chanyuan, both Emperor Zhenzong of Song and Kou Zhun felt good about themselves. 】

[However, "Zhun was quite proud of his achievements in the Battle of Chanyuan, and even the emperor treated him very well for this. Wang Qinruo was deeply jealous of him."]

【Wang Qinruo said that Kou Zhun used Emperor Zhenzong of Song as a gamble to reach a surrender.】

[Success means achievement, failure means putting the emperor in danger. ]

【Song Zhenzong therefore dismissed Kou Zhun from his position as prime minister.】

[On the third day of the first lunar month in 1008, Emperor Zhenzong of Song told his ministers that he had dreamed of a god predicting the fall of three volumes of the Dazhong Xiangfu Heavenly Book. That day, the Imperial City Department reported that the Heavenly Book had indeed fallen on Chengtian Gate.]

【Then the king and his ministers took down the heavenly book and wrote on it, "Zhao received the mandate, rose from Song, and handed it over to Heng. It holds its position and guards it. Seven hundred generations, ninety-nine are stable." 】

【Song Zhenzong then changed the reign title to "Dazhong Xiangfu" and issued a general amnesty. 】

……

Great Sui.

Yang Jian and Dugu Qieluo sat side by side on the steps in front of the palace.

Gently coaxing the baby, Yang Jian leaned close to the queen's ear and whispered:
"Do you believe it?"

Dugu Jialuo glanced at the sleeping baby and replied softly:

"Am I stupid?"

Yang Jian looked at Dugu Jialuo carefully.

So beautiful.

Dugu Jialuo gradually began to look unfriendly.

Feeling that there might be some misunderstanding, Yang Jian coughed twice and changed the subject:
"Ahem, Jialuo, why do you think he's wasting his energy?"

Dugu Jialuo rolled his eyes at him and said slowly:
"The Youyun Land is completely lost in his hands."

"He doesn't meet the requirement of being the orthodox Central Plains in terms of geography."

"But he has the legal system of the previous dynasty... um..."

"Emperor Wu of Han used Gongyang to unify his thoughts. I guess he wanted to use the talisman sent from heaven to confirm that he was destined by heaven."

Yang Jian felt that this was a way, but it was done too roughly.

And if you put it that way...it's a bit petty.

Instead, it seems a bit like a joke.

……

Datang.

"Guanyin maid."

Li Shimin suddenly grabbed Empress Changsun's delicate hand in public.

Everyone in the hall lowered their heads instantly.

A blush appeared on Empress Changsun's face.

"Erlang!"

Li Shimin indeed looked worried and said:

"No, Guanyinbi, I don't know why."

"I suddenly felt panicky!"

When Chang Sun heard this, his face, which had originally blushed a little, suddenly turned worried.

"Let the imperial physician take a look."

Li Shimin shook his head and looked down at the hand that was tightly holding Guanyin's hand.

"It's not that kind of physical pain, it's that kind of... that kind of..."

"I can't describe the pain I feel."

Empress Changsun placed her other hand on Li Shimin's hand.

Said softly:
"Erlang...Nu Nu may know why you are upset."

Li Shimin looked up at her blankly.

Empress Changsun looked at the sky with difficulty, and said in an unclear way:

"Erlang, why don't you take a look at the sky."

He turned his head suspiciously.

Body stiffness.

stunned.

Furious!
……

On the canopy.

A batch of magnificent carriages arrived at the foot of Mount Tai.

The carriage stretches for thousands of miles, and the attendants are one every two steps.

The camera moves rapidly along the frame!
After a fleeting glimpse, it ends at the top of Mount Tai.

Zhao Heng stood in front of the altar.

The ministers behind him knelt on the ground with books in their hands raised high.

"Zhao received the order, prospered from Song, and will be handed over to Heng!"

"Hold your position and stay below!"

"Seven hundred worlds, ninety-nine is determined!"

……

【After the "Book of Heaven" was revealed, Prime Minister Wang Dan led his ministers to request Song Zhenzong to perform Fengshan many times. Later, the Book of Heaven appeared in Song Zhenzong's dream and fell on the Liquan Pavilion of Mount Tai. 】

[In October 1008, Emperor Zhenzong of Song organized a large team to go to Mount Tai to hold the Fengshan ceremony and visit the Confucius Temple in Qufu, which lasted days.]
