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

Chapter 521: Being a vassal king is enough for fighting, but being an emperor is...

｛Zhu Yunwen in "The Story of the Rebellion" can hardly be called a single person.｝
{It is written that when Zhu Yuanzhang was buried, Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxun stood at the palace gate holding swords.}
{They pointed at Zhu Yuanzhang's coffin and said, "Old Deng! Come out! Speak! Can you still scold us brothers?" Then they laughed up to the sky.}
{Then it is written that Zhu Yunwen became even more unscrupulous after he became emperor.}
{Not to mention his large-scale construction projects and his neglect of state affairs, he even liked to burn portraits of Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma for fun when he had nothing else to do.}
{Also, although Zhu Yunwen was young, he had a strong desire for sex. He often sent people to the outside of the palace to collect beautiful women for his own sexual pleasure. Even the prince's wives and daughters who were pretty were kept in the harem.}
{It is also said that Zhu Yunwen particularly liked to take aphrodisiacs, and once he took them, he would easily enter a psychedelic state, and then he would rape the old lady and mate with the old sow.}
{Wow... is this a copy of the image of the Southern Dynasty emperor?}

{This book, "Records of the Fengtian Rebellion", can be said to be a collection of all the crimes from ancient times to the present.}
{All the crimes in history were basically pinned on Prince Yiwen and Emperor Jianwen.}
{However, the exaggeration was too much, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell what was going on, so few people believed the book's records, and they directly accused the book of being fabricated.}
……

Liu Song.

Liu Yu was so angry that he broke down by the following sentence.

"It's all your fault!"

Liu Yilong was scolded for no reason.

……

Southern Qi Dynasty Gaodi Period
"You can say whatever you want..."

Xiao Daocheng muttered.

"Princess and the like, this is a matter of the previous dynasty."

"Don't make it sound like everyone in the Southern Dynasty is like this."

"Speaking of a person, what are you talking about regions and eras?"

……

Ming Dynasty - Emperor Huidi Period
Zhu Yunwen retreated to the back hall, feeling extremely angry!

If I had known earlier, I would have fought the thief Yan to the death!

"You're the one fucking the sow!"

"You're still eating pig shit!"

Then came another bout of discouragement.

He was wearing armor, and it didn't matter even though the emperor's wooden stick was broken.

"Ugh……"

Zhu Yunwen let out a long, melancholy sigh.

Forget it, just to save my father's food and keep the court officials stable.

Even if it's just the last thing I did.

I hope the Yan thief can keep his promise and not involve Qi Qing and others.

……

[While doing these things, Zhu Di began to revise the "Ming Taizu Shilu"]

[The Veritable Records of Ming Taizu began to be compiled in the first year of Jianwen (1399 AD) and was completed in the third year of Jianwen (1401 AD)]

[This period of time was also when the "Battle of Jingnan" was in full swing. ]

[So in October of the fourth year of Jianwen (1402 AD), less than four months after Zhu Di ascended the throne, he ordered the revision of the "Ming Taizu Shilu"]

[This revision took only eight months and was completed in June of the first year of the Yongle reign (1403 AD).]

[History says that this version of the record was hastily compiled, so its quality is questionable.]

……

Qing Dynasty and Qianlong period
Qianlong fanned himself and snorted disdainfully.

"That's more than worrying."

"The best edition of Ming Shilu is totally irrelevant."

"Who knows what this second edition will look like!"

He Shen nodded and bowed:
"Your Majesty, I am also confused. I asked Ji Yun and others at the beginning. Guess what they said?"

Qianlong's eyelids drooped.

"How do you say that?"

He Shen took a step forward and said with a smile:

"They said that was the Fengtian Jingnan Bieji!"

“There’s that awkward feeling everywhere.”

Qianlong chuckled.

"Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty."

"I have been afraid all my life that others would say I am a traitor."

"It is necessary to conceal the truth."

"He is not as good as Emperor Taizong of Tang in this respect."

……

【However, Zhu Di highly praised this version of the record. 】

[However, eight years later, Zhu Di publicly accused Li Jinglong and others, the supervisor of the second version, of "evil intentions"]

[Ordered the third compilation of "The Veritable Records of Ming Taizu"]

[This compilation took nearly seven years, from the ninth year of Yongle (1411 AD) to the sixteenth year of Yongle (1418 AD)]

[Zhu Di was very satisfied with the completed "Ming Taizu Shilu" and history records that "he read it for a long time and praised it many times"]

……

On the canopy.

Sheets of white paper were stained with blood.

The ministers bowed their heads one by one. The emperor sat high up.

The world is silent.

……

【No dynasty has ever changed history as much as Zhu Di did.】

[He revised the official history and strictly prohibited the public from freely discussing or writing about the history of the Jianwen Dynasty.]

[The reason is "suspicion and slander"]

[Those who commit this crime will have their entire clan exterminated]

[A scholar named Ye Huizhong was punished in this way]

[“In the first year of Yongle, he was punished for writing the ‘Jingnan’ incident and his entire family was executed.”]

[The prohibition was very strict, and there were many corrections, so that most of the truth was lost.]

【This point needs to be criticized.】

【At the same time, Zhu Di also inherited Zhu Yunwen's unfinished business. 】

【Reduce the influence of the feudal lords. 】

……

{Vagrant Prince: Then the Crown Prince will reduce the power of the vassal princes when he becomes the emperor! This vassal prince will also reduce the power of the vassal princes when he becomes the emperor?! Then you, the vassal prince, have assumed the throne for nothing!}

{Hey, I don't understand this, right? Being a vassal king is enough for fighting wars! Being an emperor, there are many more things to consider!}
{Zhu Di: I don’t know whether it is right to reduce the power of the princes, I just know about those princes… Hey!}
{Any normal person would weaken the power of a vassal king, let alone one who started out as a vassal king, so he should be weakened even more!}
……

[In the first month of 1403, Zhu Di restored the status of the vassal king that had been demoted by Emperor Jianwen.]

[“Restore the old titles of Zhou Wang Xuan, Qi Wang Yu, Dai Wang Gui, and Min Wang Yu” and give them generous rewards to show their favor.]

[At this time, he only attacked Ning Wang Zhu Quan, who was the most powerful and posed a greater threat to him, and he was exiled to Nanchang.]

[When his position became more solid, Zhu Di immediately began to reduce the power of the feudal lords. ]

[In November, the three guards and officials of Dai Wang Zhu Gui were dismissed.]

[In May 1406, Zhu Yu, the Prince of Qi, was stripped of his official posts and guards, and in August he was demoted to a commoner.]

[In 1408 AD, the guards of Min Wang Zhu Yu were cut off and his officials were dismissed.]

[In 1412 AD, the guards of Liao King Zhu Zhi were cut off.]

[In 1417 AD, Prince Gu Zhu Tan was demoted to a commoner.]

[In 1421 AD, King Zhu Su of Zhou "returned the three guards" at the suggestion of Zhu Di]

[At this point, most of the princes who held military power at the time had their guards cut off or were demoted to commoners, thus achieving the goal of reducing the power of the princes.]

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
"Is this what we call reducing the power of the feudal lords?"

Liu Che slammed the table.

"Although we are eager to reduce the power of the feudal lords, we cannot act too hastily."

"Then Zhu Yunwen doesn't understand this principle."

"The Jingnan Campaign was not so much a rebellion by a vassal king as it was a confrontation between a weak young monarch and the royal family."

“Divide and divide, and proceed step by step.”

Wei Zifu fed little Liu Ju and said slowly:
"I think Zhu Yunwen did a good job. He dealt with some of the princes. Was it the Prince of Qi or the Prince of Dai?"

"One more day of leisure means the people suffer."

Liu Che gathered his sleeves and leaned back.

"List out the crimes of these evil princes and kill them one by one."

"It can win the hearts of the people and leave other vassal kings speechless."

"You have to do it directly and forcefully."

"Read more of my biography, he will definitely not be like that!"

"You are still young, and you don't know how to control your strength."

……

[Due to the Jingnan Campaign, large areas of land north of the Huai River were left barren and many people were displaced.]

【Zhu Di adopted the policy of relocating the people. 】

[In 1403, he ordered Beiping to be the secondary capital and renamed it Beijing.]

[“Move ten counties including Zhili and Suzhou, and nine provinces including Zhejiang to enrich the people and settle in Beijing”]

[In the same year, he also ordered that all those guilty of the ten heinous crimes punishable by death be executed according to the law, and that "those guilty of the rest of the death penalty and exile be ordered to take their families to Beijing to farm"]

[In the second year, he ordered "households with many people but little land or no land in Taiyuan, Pingyang, Ze, Lu, Liao, and Mi to migrate their population to Beijing to cultivate the land."]

[A large number of officials were dispatched to various places to pacify refugees and reclaim wasteland.]

[Announcement that "all the food and fodder that the fugitives have accumulated over the years will be exempted"]

[“Taxes on newly reclaimed farmland will be suspended”]

【We will continue to settle and cultivate land, provide relief to the poor and disaster relief, and build water conservancy projects, so that society can rest and recuperate.】

[These policies also made the court, which had been purged, feel relaxed.]

【But obviously, they relaxed too early. 】
