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

Chapter 465: Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty and Tuotuo
On the canopy

A ragged young scholar was walking on a wilderness path, carrying a basket on his back and holding a wooden stick.

The rich young man, dressed in silk and satin, sat in a purple carriage with black mattresses, driving leisurely on the official road.

The old teacher riding on a donkey followed the caravan, reading a scroll.

The sunlight is reflected on the red city walls, like rouge.

Green trees hang low on both sides, and the emerald leaves are illuminated by the sunlight, covering the far and near with a layer of clear yellow.

Under the plaque weathered by wind and sun, scholars of all stripes gathered from afar.

……

[In December 1341, Emperor Shundi of the Yuan Dynasty resumed the imperial examination system that had been stopped by Bayan.]

[From then on, the imperial examinations were still held even when the country was in chaos, and Emperor Shundi of Yuan Dynasty took the imperial examinations more seriously than all the previous emperors]

[A total of 16 imperial examinations were held during the Yuan Dynasty, 10 of which were held during the reign of Emperor Shundi of the Yuan Dynasty]

[A total of 1,139 Jinshi were admitted during the Yuan Dynasty, and 700 were admitted during the reign of Emperor Shun alone.]

【The Imperial College was also linked to the imperial examination. Students who passed the Imperial College exam would be given priority in the imperial examination.】

[From the students who passed the Imperial College, a total of 284 people were admitted to the first and second lists, which was unprecedented in the Yuan Dynasty.]

[This made the hearts of the scholars who had been scattered around the country after the abolition of the imperial examination by Bayan return to the court to a great extent]

……

{Ah... no wonder so many people later missed the Yuan Dynasty}

{This was a bonus reaped during the reign of Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty.}
{Mr. Zhu was wrong from the beginning. You and I are not on the same page at all!}
{They are disciples of the emperor. How can you, a peasant like you, point fingers at them?}
{No way, Lao Zhu is uneducated, so he has a filter for educated people.}
{It's true... every dynasty is filling in the gaps left by the previous dynasty.}
……

big man
Liu Bang rolled up his sleeves and put his hands in them.

"Scholars are the most valuable, and farmers are the most miserable."

"But the foundation of a country lies in its people, not its scholars."

The light in his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said helplessly:

"But these people are indispensable for governing the world."

Lu Zhi looked cold and indifferent, raised her eyelids, and said in a cold voice:
"What do you want to do?"

Liu Bang was silent for a while.

He shook his head and sighed.

"What to do? Nothing can be done."

"The world is like an invisible hand."

“We were forced here step by step.”

"In the end, the only one you can rely on is yourself."

"What emperors and generals..."

For the first time, a trace of dejection appeared on Liu Bang's face.

"We can only lend a hand and help."

"I can help you temporarily, but I can't help you forever."

……

Period of Emperor Guangwu of Yanhan Dynasty

Liu Xiu shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"After all the twists and turns, is it the emperor versus the aristocratic family again?"

……

Datang
Li Shimin narrowed his eyes slightly.

He twirled his beard with his fingers, his eyes flashing with thought.

Judging from this statement, the literati seem to have the potential to be from a noble family.

Right……

Weren’t the earliest aristocratic families the literati who mastered the interpretation of classics?

"Is this world back again?"

……

[At that time, natural disasters, wars, and exploitation by corrupt officials had already made farmers all over the world suffer terribly]

[When Bayan was in power, he ordered that Han people and southerners were not allowed to own any iron and prohibited the people from raising horses. The agriculture of the country suffered a heavy blow, and civil unrest broke out in various places.]

[Emperor Shundi of the Yuan Dynasty and Tuotuo issued an order to lift the ban on iron tools and horses, and often reduced taxes and debts to allow farmers to rest and recuperate.]

[In some areas, the policy of "verifying land and allocating labor service" was implemented, which means verifying land and allocating labor service to prevent the rich from shifting labor service to the poor.]

……

Great Song.

Zhao Kuangyin felt that the person looked familiar.

Isn’t this the story of how when the Song, Liao and Jin dynasties were about to perish, there would always be wise rulers and loyal ministers who would save the tide?
"It's late."

It is hard to tell whether one is gloating over the people's misfortune or feeling sorry for the people's suffering.

I just felt confused.

Is it true that there are no long-lasting dynasties?

……

Song Shenzong Period
Zhao Xu pondered over this corvée law.

Can it be integrated with the reform?

As for whether the rich can agree to it...

Who asked you!

Even though we follow the laws of our ancestors, the Song Dynasty is still not doing well.

……

[At the same time, in order to cope with the continuous natural disasters, Emperor Shundi of the Yuan Dynasty also restored the Changping Granary System and implemented the Charity Granary System in imitation of the old system of previous dynasties.]

[However, natural disasters are frequent, and Changping Warehouse is still unable to cope. ]

[Emperor Shundi of the Yuan Dynasty also widely promoted charity granaries, which were supervised by officials and managed by gentry. He collected grain from the rich to set up charity granaries to prepare for disasters.]

……

The period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty
Liu Heng sneered

“The method of warehousing is to use the surplus to make up for the shortage.”

"But if there is not enough surplus, then there is no way to make up for the deficiency."

"The ancients committed evil and showed no mercy, and the world is already showing signs of collapse."

"Nothing can be changed."

If we can’t even change the fundamental discrimination, what’s the point of doing something superficial? …

Sui Dynasty
Yang Jian was speechless.

It was a good thing to do, but it was too late.

And this doesn't seem to be blamed on the two of them?
"I was already unlucky enough in the Song Dynasty."

"I didn't expect the Yuan Dynasty to be like this..."

"Is there really any saying about this Song Dynasty?"

"Why do all dynasties associated with it have such bad luck?"

Dugu Jialuo was too lazy to pay attention to him who was talking nonsense.

It was clearly his own fault. What does it have to do with the Song Dynasty?

……

[While setting up the Changping Granary and the Yi Granary, Emperor Shundi of the Yuan Dynasty and Tuotuo also focused on improving agricultural technology. ]

[In February 1342, Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty issued an edict to promulgate the "Essentials of Agriculture and Sericulture" throughout the country]

[This is an agricultural book compiled by Meng Qi, a famous official in the early Yuan Dynasty, during the reign of Emperor Shizu, and later revised by Chang Shiwen and Miao Haoqian. The content is quoted from books such as "Qimin Yaoshu", "Shi Nong Biyong", "Wuben Xinshu", "Si Shi Zongyao", and "Han Shi Zhi Shuo", etc., taking the essence and discarding the dross.]

[It is divided into ten sections: training, cultivation, sowing, mulberry planting, silkworm breeding, melons and vegetables, fruits, bamboo and wood, medicinal herbs, and livestock. It is the culmination of ancient Chinese agricultural books.]

[Emperor Shundi of the Yuan Dynasty promulgated this book throughout the country as a guide for agriculture, which led to considerable achievements in some regions. For example, agriculture in the Northeast developed rapidly. Not only did it no longer need central subsidies, but it also began to supply grain to the court, creating a history of grain from the Northeast going south.]

[Rice cultivation in Henan also made great progress, and the imperial court set up a special Shuiyongtian Envoy to take charge of the matter and solve the local food problem.]

……

Wu Zhou.

Wu Zetian could see that the Yuan Dynasty was unable to cope with the situation at that time.

"There are too many mistakes to correct them all."

"It's just a matter of time."

……

Tang Dynasty and Gaozong period
Li Zhi stroked his beard, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"I didn't expect to see the harmonious relationship between the ruler and his subjects in them."

"Why does this scene look so familiar?"

……

Tang Dynasty - Wuzong Period
Li Yan sat lazily on the recliner.

"What if Tianmu said in the next moment that Emperor Shun died suddenly and entrusted his son to Tuotuo?"

"I really have to doubt whether you are really related to the Emperor of Han."

……

【At that time, Emperor Wenzong of the Yuan Dynasty established the Kuizhang Pavilion to compile the "Jingshi Dadian", and Emperor Shundi of the Yuan Dynasty naturally wanted to create something as well.】

【Thus, the compilation of the histories of Liao, Jin, and Song was put on the agenda.】

[The compilation of the Three Histories was brought up during the reign of Kublai Khan. During the reigns of Renzong, Yingzong, and Wenzong, they all wanted to accomplish this task, but the three dynasties existed at the same time.]

[The Jin and Song dynasties were destroyed by the Yuan dynasty. How to describe the legitimacy of the three dynasties is a very troublesome question.]

【Therefore, the years dragged on, it was difficult to get started, and it kept dragging on. 】

[During the compilation of the Three Histories, Tuotuo was appointed as the chief editor of the Three Histories. He knew that the emperor was eager to compile the book, so he simply made the final decision: "Each of the Three Kingdoms has its own orthodoxy and each has its own reign title."]

【Then he immediately began to select historians to start the compilation project, summoning historians from the Han, Mongolian, Uighur, Khalil, Tangut, and Kipchak ethnic groups to participate in the project, setting a precedent for historians of various ethnic groups to cooperate in compiling history.】

[From 1343 AD to October 1345 AD. ]

[The 116-volume History of Liao, the 135-volume History of Jin, and the 496-volume History of Song were completed successively]

……

Song Dynasty: Zhezong Period
Zhao Xu also knew how difficult it was to write history.

It took Sima Xianggong fifteen years to edit and revise the "Zizhi Tongjian" with the help of many people.

Even though there were many people compiling history in the Yuan Dynasty, it was difficult to complete three history books in such a short time.

Errors and omissions are inevitable.

……

Qing Dynasty Yongzheng Period
"Three history books."

Yongzheng sat cross-legged on the warm bed, his hand running along the golden tassels on the jade string of beads.

He said slowly:
"It's been made in the last three years."

"Among them, the History of Song is the most voluminous."

"But the editing, arrangement, modification, proofreading of historical materials, modification of text, and the overall format of the book are quite crude."

"As for the History of Liao, there are many errors and omissions because of the gap between generations and the lack of information."

Hongli chuckled and glanced at the history books on the shelf in the study.

"That is why historians say that among all the official histories of the past dynasties, the History of Liao is the worst."

"Relatively speaking, the History of Jin is the best compiled of the three histories."

"It is complete from beginning to end, its rules are neat, it is concise but not sparse, it is rich but not cluttered, and it is the best of the three histories."

Yongzheng remained calm, twisting the jade bead in his hand.

"But also because most of the compilers are descendants of the Jin Dynasty, they are very biased."

"It conceals evil and promotes good, and contains many falsehoods and contradictions."

“However, if the three histories had not been completed, the precious historical documents would have been preserved.”

"After the chaos at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, it was even more difficult for later generations to compile reliable history."

"These three dynasties, which may have once been glorious and brilliant, are probably hidden in a smokescreen."

"Therefore, no matter how many problems the three histories have, their merits outweigh their flaws."

……

[From 1340 to 1344, for nearly four years, Emperor Shundi of Yuan Dynasty, with the assistance of Tuotuo, made great efforts to pull the Yuan Dynasty back from its declining path.]

[And their actions are more pragmatic and positive than the inaction and misconduct of previous generations.]

[People at that time praised the court's reform as "Zhizheng Binxing County and the country's virtuous, the majesty was seen again before Jiayin"]

【And Tuotuo was also "acclaimed as a wise minister by both Chinese and foreigners"】

[If we do well and keep doing it, the Yuan Dynasty may be able to truly achieve rejuvenation]

[However, the people of the world do not have the patience to wait and gamble on an illusory revival. ]

[God has also dug a deep pit to bury the Yuan Dynasty, although this pit was dug by the Yuan Dynasty itself]
