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

Chapter 591 It’s sad to see thousands of horses quivering together
【During Zhu Houcong's reign, he successfully created two specific titles for civil officials. 】

[One is the Minister of Rites, the other is the Prime Minister of Qingci.]

[The so-called Qingci is a kind of parallel prayer used in Taoist fasting and offering ceremonies. Because it is often written on green rattan paper with red pigment, it is called Qingci, Qingci or Green Chapter. ]

[Because Qingci was burned after use, it was in great demand. And if you could write a good Qingci, it would be easy to win the favor of Zhu Houcong.]

……

On the canopy.

A piece of parallel prose with gorgeous rhetoric and beautiful language appeared in the eyes of the emperors.

"The vitality of the Nine Provinces depends on wind and thunder, it is a pity that all the horses are silent."

"I advise the God to shake himself up and send down talents regardless of their background."

……

{Wait a minute! Are you using a Qing Dynasty poem to criticize a Ming Dynasty official?}

｛Because this poem is originally a Qingci.｝
……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
"Yes, Not Bad!"

Liu Che did have a certain level of appreciation.

"Strong and powerful!"

Wei Zifu waited for a long time, but there was no response?

He rolled his eyes silently.

Liu Che stared at the words "I advise" in a trance.

When dealing with God, I use the word "advise", isn't this strong and powerful?
……

Cao Wei.

Cao Cao stroked his beard and pointed out three knowledge points.

"Nine states, all horses are silent, no one follows a single pattern."

“This poem is obviously meant to be meaningful.”

"I will burn my prayers to the heavens. The world is like a stagnant pool of water. If we want to make the country lively, we need thunder and lightning to stir it up."

"Let the wind and thunder break the silence of all the horses, who dare not speak or are unwilling to speak."

Cao Cao was amazed.

"How dead and dull is this dynasty?"

……

Ming dynasty.

Old Zhu snorted coldly.

"Looking at the meaning of this poem, the Qing Dynasty is not as good as our Ming Dynasty."

"We in the Ming Dynasty are not silent."

On the contrary, there is too much chattering!

……

[In the early period of Jiajing's reign, the ministers who were favored were mostly discussing rituals, while in the later period, they were mostly writing Qingci.]

【There are only two people who can be both types, Xia Yan and Yan Song. 】

【Because of the Xiangyeguan incident, Xia Yan was dismissed and Yan Song was able to enter the cabinet and exercise exclusive power. 】

[Although he has little experience, he is the only one among all the cabinet ministers who has the power to draft and submit memorials, which is equivalent to monopolizing power. ]

……

Big man.

Liu Bang touched his chin and pondered for a moment.

"Magic power?"

Lu Zhi looked at him in surprise.

You actually know this?

Liu Bang was speechless for a moment.

Who do you look down on?

"I'm making a bet with you!"

"Then Xia Yan has to come back!"

Lu Zhi decisively refused:

"No, I'm not stupid."

“Who can’t see this?”

"The Grand Etiquette has the authority of the monarch, but the details of his own methods have also been discovered by the ministers outside the court."

"He can only maintain his authority by frequently changing cabinet ministers."

"How can one person become so powerful?"

Liu Bang folded his arms and fell to the side, muttering:

"Really boring……"

Madam Qi, who was standing by like a kitten, had her eyes lit up.

"Your Majesty! I'm going to make a bet with you!"

Liu Bang and Lu Zhi: ...

"...Thank you very much."

……

[After entering the cabinet, Yan Song had a very positive attitude towards work, asking for instructions in the morning and reporting in the evening.]

[Early in the morning every day, he went to the West Garden where Zhu Houcong lived to wait for instructions, and his attitude was very diligent.]

[However, the actual work results are far inferior to Xia Yanbi. Not only is the administrative level far behind, but the biggest problem is rampant corruption. ]

[As soon as he squeezed out Xia Yan and entered the cabinet, the censors exposed him for corruption.]

【However, Zhu Houcong strongly supported him and personally gave him the four characters "忠勤敏达". 】

[The reason why he likes Yan Song so much is that Yan Song has been docile and obedient in front of him for many years.]

[Secondly, after Xia Yan left, the practice of Taoism still needed to be carried out, and someone had to write Qingci.]

【With the emperor's favor, Yan Song became even more fearless. 】

In the 1544rd year of Jiajing (), he transferred his son Yan Shifan to the position of Shaoqing of the Shangbao Division, in charge of the emperor's jade seal. The father and son joined forces to seize power.

……

{Here he comes! The young minister!}

{The two capitals and thirteen provinces are on my shoulders!}
{When working, call them by their positions!}

{Is this a crossover?}{In the TV series, Donglou's intelligence and wisdom are all transferred to his father. But his hot-tempered and arrogant personality is retained.}
{But in history, Yan Shifan was truly the Yan family's brain trust. He made many decisions and was good at pleasing the emperor. It was just that he did not join the cabinet because of his eye problems.}
……

Qing Dynasty and Qianlong period
Emperor Qianlong sipped his tea leisurely.

Emperor Jiajing was indeed superstitious or believed in monasticism.

Historians of all dynasties agree that Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty was extremely intelligent. It is impossible that such an extremely intelligent person was deceived for decades to do a very boring, repetitive and tedious task.

Historians' criticism of Jiajing's worship of Taoism mainly focused on his failure to do his job and allowing Yan Song to exercise absolute power.

But few people mention what Yan Song's autocracy brought to Jiajing.

He glanced at Heshen and continued drinking his tea.

I can go one step further than Emperor Jiajing.

……

【After the Renyin Palace Incident, Zhu Houcong basically stopped attending court and spent his days in the Western Garden practicing Taoism and refining elixirs.】

[Therefore, most of the important national affairs are reported to the cabinet members individually and wait for the decision.]

[This time he let go, Yan Song felt more at ease to reap the benefits.]

[Not only did the father and son of the Yan family want bribes, they even colluded with local officials and dared to withhold and embezzle the state's salt tax and agricultural tax, making people's livelihood issues more serious.]

[The extremely clean and honest administration in the early Jiajing period quickly became corrupt again.]

【Corruption and bribery are rampant in the officialdom. 】

[In addition, the Ming Dynasty's state affairs have become increasingly difficult in recent years. The Tatar invasion in the north has become more and more serious, military expenditures have increased sharply, and Zhu Houcong has been obsessed with Taoism and spent money all day, so the financial problems have become increasingly serious. ]

[The money and grain saved in the early years have been spent almost completely, and the annual fiscal revenue is basically in deficit compared to the expenditure. There are more and more problems.]

[Although Zhu Houcong did not attend court for many years, he was basically aware of the changes in the court. ]

[In December of the 1545th year of Jiajing (), Xia Yan, who had been idle for three years, was re-employed and returned to serve as the chief minister of the cabinet.]

……

Yanhan·Mingdi period
"Hiss...why does this technique look so familiar?"

Liu Lun always felt like he had seen it somewhere.

This cleaning method really seems familiar.

Liu Zhuang looked at Liu Lun's confused expression and slapped him on the back.

Liu Xun's face suddenly twisted! He put his hands behind his back and turned to look at his father.

"Father? Why did you hit me?"

Liu Zhuang said unhappily:

"Because you're stupid!"

"Have you forgotten how Emperor Wu controlled the court?"

Liu Lun suddenly understood!
Isn’t this just a disguised change of prime minister?

If you don’t want to form a party, I will let you do so. But if you do, I will deal with you!
In short, you guys cannot be ununited, but you can't be too united either.

Liu Zhuang looked at his son who had reacted and shook his head:
"This balancing act is truly amazing."

"But Yan'er, you have to remember what the emperor's responsibilities are."

"It is to stabilize the world."

Liu Zhuang looked at the sky with a hint of regret.

"Power alone cannot stabilize the world."

"Still a rootless duckweed."

……

The period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty
Liu Heng stretched, picked up the grown seedlings on the table and walked out.

Liu Qi was stunned and followed closely.

"Father, don't you want to watch it?"

Liu Heng walked forward and answered without turning his head:

"If nothing unexpected happens, the Ming Dynasty will fall within fifty years."

"The ruler and his subjects, the subjects and their subjects."

"The three are like a vortex engulfing the Ming world."

“No one cares about what’s going on in the world, they only care about the power in their hands.”

"It's the same whether you look at it or not."

"They are not as important as this sweet potato in my hand."

Liu Heng raised the green seedling in his hand.

“This is the most important thing in the world.”

"The Emperor's Name and Power."

Liu Qi stopped at the door.

Staring blankly at the figure walking further and further away.

……

The period of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty
Liu Qi glanced at the sky twice, then poked at little Liu Che who was eating with his head down.

"Stop eating! It's time to work."

Little Liu Che looked up in confusion, chewing subconsciously.

"Work? What work?"

Liu Qi smiled with a "gentle" face

"Forgot? Go to the fields."

"Let you know the sufferings of the people!"

After saying that, regardless of the pale face of little Liu Che, he stretched out his big hand, picked it up and left!

"Ahhh! No! I'm still a child! Father! I'm still a child!"

"Mother! Save me!"

Queen Wang looked at her son who was reaching out to her for help and waved her handkerchief.

"Your Majesty! Remember to come back for dinner!"

Little Liu Che: ...

Liu Qi raised his other hand and strode away.

……

【Xia Yan entered the cabinet again, and Yan Song lost the emperor's favor.】

[The fight between the two in the court eventually led to a shocking change. ]
