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

Chapter 567 Zhu Youtang: I want to conquer Mongolia with virtue!
Ming Dynasty·Chenghua Period
Zhu Jianshen held his forehead.

My head felt like it was being pricked by needles.

What sins did he commit in his previous life?

Having a stupid dad.

Another stupid son...

Then I read the historical evaluations, and I didn’t give them a good evaluation…

Zhu Jianshen waved his hand and said weakly:
"Call the prince."

Wan Zhen'er was a little worried.

"Youtang is still young...you..."

Zhu Jianshen sighed tiredly.

"I won't beat him. What's the point of beating him?"

"But there are some things he still needs to remember."

……

Ming Dynasty, Hongzhi Period
"impossible!"

Zhu Youtang panicked.

The Yellow River changes its course?!
These four light words mean the ruin of countless families, the flooding of farmland, and the displacement of guard posts.

As he walked back and forth, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Zhu Youtang's forehead.

He suddenly thought of something else.

If the Yellow River changes course, the northern border will inevitably be diverted from flooding.

Will Batu Mongke take the opportunity to attack?

Zhu Youtang stood still.

There was an uncertain look in his eyes, but finally a hint of determination emerged.

"I want to recall Wang Zhi!"

Empress Zhang covered her mouth to suppress her screams.

Zhu Youtang relaxed his brows and looked towards the sky.

"I am the Lord of the World."

……

[Zhu Youtang's naive ideal of "ruling the country with virtue" is not only reflected in domestic affairs, but also in diplomacy and military affairs. ]

[1488 AD, the first year of the Hongzhi reign.]

【Zhu Youtang appointed Xu Jin as the governor of Datong. 】

[This Xu Jin had previously actively impeached Wang Zhi and was imprisoned and interrogated by Zhu Jianshen.]

[According to the moral standards of civil servants, those who have such experience are of course "upright people" and must be reused.]

[But once Zhu Youtang came to power, Xu Jin was recommended many times and was later entrusted with important tasks.]

【When Xu Jingang arrived in Datong, the "little prince" Batu Mengke also came. 】

[He set up camps thirty miles outside Datong City, proclaimed himself "Great Khan of the Yuan Dynasty", and demanded "tribute".]

[Xu Jin reported the situation to the court, but never mentioned the enemy approaching the city. Instead, he said:

"Now that the 'little prince' has succeeded the emperor, he is grateful and willing to be civilized, and has sent envoys to pay tribute."

【The "little prince" was "inspired" by Zhu Youtang's accession to the throne, so he came to "pay tribute." 】

【Zhu Youtang believed it.】

……

Song Zhenzong period
"I don't believe that!"

Zhao Heng was amused.

"How could a man as cunning as Zhu Jianshen give birth to a pure-natured person?"

"This……"

Hard to comment.

Liu E couldn't tell which category of monarchs Zhu Youtang should be classified into.

Although you may say he is stupid, he really cares about the world and is dedicated to his work.

To be honest, he is clearly getting worse and worse.

"On the surface?"

Liu E suddenly understood what this feeling was.

“We only know the fact, but not the reason.”

After listening to this, Zhao Heng thought about it and felt that it made sense.

"From the emperor to the ministers, all they pursue is immediate stability."

Liu E added another sentence.

"The current situation is similar to that of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, both of which seek superficial stability."

"The difference is that Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty poured hot oil on snow, but now he used a quilt to cover the fire."

……

But problems immediately arose.

[Batu Mengke sent 500 people to pay tribute. They were fed and drank well along the way, and forced to buy and sell. He took back several times the reward, but soon led his troops to plunder in Hetao again. ]

[The censors angrily impeached Xu Jin.]

[Faced with many memorials impeaching Xu Jin, Zhu Youtang suppressed them all.]

[He insisted that as long as I treat others with sincerity, others will definitely treat me with sincerity.]

……

Ming Dynasty and Zhengde Period
"Oh my father!"

Zhu Houzhao slumped in his chair and let out a long sigh.

"The six arts of a gentleman also include archery and charioteering. Why do you only focus on etiquette?"

……

Ming Dynasty Jiajing Period
"Xiaozong..."

Zhu Houcong sighed continuously.

"Being kind is the quality of a good government."

"Ah... He's a good man..."

Unfortunately, he is a goody-goody.

……

[1490 AD, the third year of the Hongzhi reign.]

[Batu Mengke invaded Hetao on a large scale. Logically, they should have fought each other. Shouldn't they have fallen out? ]

【However, under the promotion of Xu Jin and Zhu Youtang, the relationship between the two sides soon returned to normal. 】

……

Datang.

Li Shimin twisted his beard and looked at the sky with a strange expression. Li Chengqian racked his brains but couldn't figure out what Zhu Youtang wanted to do?
Treat others with sincerity?

He's here to beat you up!
Wake up! He has already entered the Hetao!
"Aye, what on earth does he want to do?"

Unable to figure it out, Li Chengqian decided not to think about it anymore.

Just ask someone who can figure it out.

Li Shimin opened his mouth.

He had a rough guess, but it was too far off the mark!

But this outrageous speculation may actually be what Zhu Youtang was thinking.

Because this idea is naive.

"He may be trying to influence Batu Mongke with his benevolent and righteous ways."

He could understand every word, but when they were put together, Li Chengqian was completely confused.

He looked at his father with a bewildered look on his face.

"what?"

Li Shimin smacked his lips.

"Well, uh..."

"He probably thought that since the Tatars had acknowledged that they were a tributary state of the Ming Dynasty, they could stop the invasion of the grassland tribes further north and become a barrier to the north."

Li Chengqian:......

Li Shimin looked up at the sky.

"This is a grand event comparable to Emperor Xuan's surrender of Huhanye Chanyu and me's surrender of Tuli Khan."

"That's probably what he thinks."

Li Chengqian had a blank expression on his face.

understood.

If that's the case.

That's all he could say.

There is a reason why the emperor was deceived like this.

Emperor Xuan of Han's success in persuading Huhanye, the Chanyu of Southern Xiongnu, to surrender was based on Emperor Wu of Han's continued brutal attacks on the Xiongnu.

Moreover, after the surrender, the Han Dynasty did not expect Huhanye Chanyu to help them defend against the Northern Xiongnu.

Chen Tang still went on an expedition of 3,000 miles and beheaded the Khan of the Northern Xiongnu.

Aye surrendered Tuli Khan without expecting him to help solve the Turkic problem.

In the end, he sent the Duke of Dai to cross the border, killed tens of thousands of enemies, and captured Jie Li alive.

Did the Ming Dynasty have this military advantage?

It existed during the founding of the country, but disappeared during the Chenghua period.

How could pie fall from the sky now?
Zhu Youtang is inviting a wolf into the house.

……

[As the imperial court watched in amazement, the number of Mongolian tribes in the Hetao region increased.]

[At the beginning, Zhu Jianshen forced the Datong military households to sell their children to collect enough war horses, collected more than one year's taxes in advance, and more than 100,000 soldiers fought bloody battles for many years. ]

[Wang Yue and Wang Zhi took a risk and attacked the Hetao Plain after traveling thousands of miles outside the border.]

[And so it was quietly taken back by the Tatar tribe.]

……

Ming dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat in his seat calmly.

Queen Ma looked at him from time to time, and then looked at him again.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt the frequent sidelong glances from the people around him and said helplessly:

"It's not that I'm not angry, but I no longer have any hope for them."

He stared at the sky in a trance and murmured:

"We thought we had paved the way for future generations."

"The Ming Dynasty can be as long-lasting and popular as the Western Han Dynasty."

“But we were wrong.”

Zhu Yuanzhang mocked:

"Gao Hui Wen Jing."

"None of the four emperors of the early Han Dynasty did much."

"The foundation of the Han Dynasty has been laid."

"We... did so much in one go... and what was the result..."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.

“The more you do, the more mistakes you make.”

"The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."

"Just keep a normal mind..."

Queen Ma also sighed softly.

I don’t know how long you can keep a normal mind.

……

[1495 AD, the eighth year of the Hongzhi reign.]

[Batu Mongke officially tore off his pretense against the Ming Dynasty, attacked Gansu, Ningxia, and Xuanfu, and entered Liaodong three times, basically attacking all the "Nine Border Cities" from west to east. ]

[1496 AD, the ninth year of the Hongzhi reign.]

[They also burned, killed and looted in the areas of Xuanfu, Datong and Yulin.]

[The stability in the north that Zhu Jianshen had spent more than ten years to stabilize was gone.]

[Zhu Youtang really couldn't pretend to be peaceful anymore, and Xu Jin had been promoted by then and was no longer in charge of border defense.]

[The court discussed for a long time but still could not come up with a suitable candidate. ]

[Zhu Youtang was really anxious. He gritted his teeth and stamped his feet! He made the boldest decision of his life! ]

【Recall Wang Zhi! Wang Yue! 】

……

Ming Dynasty, Hongzhi Period
Zhu Youtang's eyes lit up.

"It seems that the future me and the present me coincide with each other!"

His eyes glanced at the memorials on the desk.

Xu Jin, I'm sorry.

If you don't go to jail, I have no reason to recall Wang Zhi and Wang Yue.
