Value peace

Chapter 19 History
The two returned to the inner courtyard. It was still early for lunch. Gu Xiyan wentssip with Mrs. Gu for a while before returning to her room. She found Duan Niang and asked Mrs. Gu and the Fang family clearly. The desire to inquire about Ye Zisu's news became stronger.However, she has more important things to do.Last night, she flipped through the books borrowed from Yuerongzhai, and found some interesting things.

The first thing Gu Xiyan read yesterday was the "Enlightenment of Sound and Rhythm", the content was similar to the ones she had read before, because she hadn't memorized it before, so now it was too late to catch up, so she put it down after reading it once.

Then she read "Four Books". The "Four Books" refer to the four books "The Analects", "Mencius", "The Doctrine of the Mean" and "The Great Learning".Among them, "The Analects of Confucius" and "Mencius" refer to the speech collections of Confucius, Mencius and his students respectively, while "The Great Learning" and "The Doctrine of the Mean" are two articles in the "Book of Rites", both of which are works of Confucius.In this time and space, the names of the four books remain unchanged, their content remains unchanged, and their ideological system remains unchanged, yet its author has become Li Chaoyang, and Confucius and his students have all become characters in stories invented by Li Chaoyang...

This is also one of the reasons why Gu Xiyan woke up early in the morning with two dark circles.

As soon as she got back to the house, she closed the door and couldn't wait to flip through the "Gong Fu".Li Bai's "Quiet Night Poem", Meng Haoran's "Spring Dawn", Li Shangyin's "Untitled", and Li Qingzhao's "Slow Voice", etc., all the famous Tang poetry and Song Ci, the author is also called Li Chaoyang!

Laughing, she began to read the "A Brief History of the Sixteen Dynasties".

Of course, the origin of human beings is similar, eating raw, and then there was fire, farming and hunting, and the disparity between rich and poor... The waves of history began to have a different style 500 years ago.

In the winter of 1544 in the summer calendar, Li Si, the No.11 emperor of the Wanji Dynasty in the Xia Kingdom, died of illness.Prime Minister Liu Yihe, Pingzhang Political Officer Yang Ji, Prince Taifu Gu Zhijin, and Imperial Guard Commander Li Chaoyang were appointed Minister of Gu Ming, and together with the young Empress Dowager Shunning Lu family, they helped the three-year-old Crown Prince Li Li govern the country. There are nineteen counties in the empire.Like all histories, at the beginning, they were united as monarchs and ministers, resisting pressure from all sides. Gradually, they gained a foothold. As time went by, they began to have their own interests in the distribution of interests and political opinions. big and small differences.Prime Minister Liu Yi and Heping Zhang Zhengshi Yang Ji were the representatives of the gentry at that time, and the crown prince Gu Zhijin was the leader of the literary world at that time. Only the little-known Li Chaoyang was young and humble. The younger sister got the support of the empress dowager and her natal family, and began to monopolize the court and eradicate dissidents... In less than two or three years, Liu Yihe, Yang Ji, and Gu Zhijin all fell down.

However, where there is power, there will be struggles, and new contradictions in the Wanji Dynasty have arisen... The final temple battle between Li Chaoyang and the Empress Dowager Shunning has begun!

When things start, there will be results.In 1551 of the Xia calendar, Li Lichan was located in Li Chaoyang, and moved to Long'an County with the empress dowager Shunning.Long'an County was renamed Fengtai, and Rongzhou, Guzhou, Baizhou, Yanzhou, Dangzhou, and Dangzhou in Long'an County were under the jurisdiction of Fengtai, taxation, military and political autonomy...

In the spring of 1552 in the summer calendar, Li Chaoyang proclaimed himself emperor in Yizhou, Jiannan County, the former imperial capital.Withdraw the Central Secretariat, set up the cabinet, withdraw the county guard, set up the chief secretary, the inspection department, and the army and horse department... Franchise the mining, coal, copper, iron, and salt industries through auctions...

In the autumn of 1552 in the summer calendar, under the personal supervision of the emperor, the Hongwen Museum of the Taichu Dynasty published the Four Books and Five Classics, poems and songs. Four years later, Gu Yun, Gu Zhijin's son, wrote a book called "Shuowen Jiezi", which was affirmed by Li Chaoyang and published in Li Chaoyang. With the support of his father, he began to promote simplified characters in Xiaguo and opened government schools.At the same time, various private schools emerged, the most famous being Jiangnan Songhe Academy founded by Gu Zhijin...

In the same year, Li Chaoyang opened up the coasts of Jiangnan County and Hainan County, established a maritime affairs department directly under the jurisdiction of the court in Hainan County, and established the largest dock and wharf in Xia Kingdom on Ming Island in Songjiang River to build large seagoing ships. The History of Oceanic Trade in Xia Kingdom...

He vigorously supported private trade and encouraged business. Li Chaoyang personally served as the manufacturing department Shaoqing. Under his leadership, the manufacturing department developed glass, mercury mirrors, porcelain, looms, carriages, etc., a large number of glassware, exquisite porcelain , Gorgeous silk began to go abroad with huge sea ships...

After nine years of hard work, the history of the Xia Kingdom reached its peak, and the scene of "four barbarians coming to court" appeared.

In 1561 of the summer calendar, Li Chaoyang selected Jiangzhong County to establish a new imperial capital. The name of the imperial palace was "Forbidden City". Fang... At this time, Li Chaoyang was 81 years old, and he had only one woman by his side from beginning to end, that is, the younger sister of the Empress Dowager Shunning and the first queen of the Taichu Dynasty, Xiao Lu.And Xiao Lu has no signs of pregnancy after having a miscarriage many years ago...

In the summer calendar 1566, the imperial capital of the Taichu Dynasty moved to Jiangzhong County, and the emperor lived in the splendid Forbidden City. There are Qianqing Palace, Kunning Palace, and Compassionate Palace in the Forbidden City...

When the Taichu Dynasty was immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the relocation of the new imperial capital, Shen Xiyan was appointed by Li Chaoyang as the chief assistant of the cabinet of the King of Shushan, the scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, the left servant of the household department, the servant of the Ministry of industry, and the Shaoqing of Shangbao. The 5-year-old youngest son, Shen Xuechi, was taken to the harem by Li Chaoyang, and was raised by the Queen Lu's family...For a while, the Taichu Dynasty was full of wind.

Summer calendar 1568, summer.Accompanied by Shen Xiyan, Li Chaoyang went back to Jiannanyuan Palace Red City...they never came back.The gentry from all over the country who were beaten by Li Chaoyang took the opportunity to raise their troops one after another, the Taichu Dynasty quickly collapsed, and the Empress Lu and Shen Xuechi did not know where to end...

Xia Guo fell into the era of war between the warlords and the heroes...

In the summer calendar of 1814, after 246 years of fighting, Xia Kingdom was divided into six parts.The descendants of the Li family from the previous dynasty still lived in Fengtai and formed their own faction; the descendants of Shen Xiyan firmly controlled Jiannan County, which was also their ancestral home and birthplace; Lianyun County, Guannei County, and Guandong County have the worst climate conditions; the Zheng family of Shannan County occupies the gold-producing counties of Longdong County, Beijiang County, and Shannan County; the Wu family of Nanhe County occupies the most north of the Songjiang River. The wealthy Henan County, Pinghe County, Pingchuan County, and Jiangzhong County; the gentry Yang in Jiangnan County occupied Longyou County, Songping County, Jiangnan County, Pingyuan County, Nanhe County, Lingnan County, and Nanhai County in the south of the Songjiang River. County, became the largest warlord at that time.

In the summer of 1815 in the lunar calendar, the yellow-haired and blue-eyed Gabenars invaded. Under the lobbying of Yang's special envoy Song Beigui, six forces twisted together to fight against foreign enemies.

In the spring of 1816 in the summer calendar, the Gabenars were defeated and retreated.The Yang family, the Qi family, the Zheng family, the Wu family, the Shen family, and the Li family held a six-party meeting in Ming Island. The Yang family recognized the jurisdiction of the other five families, and made the heads of the five families the Duke of the state, and the five families had to respect the Yang family. For the emperor, a certain amount of money and silk should be handed over every year, and the personal guards should not exceed [-]... Li, Shen, and Qi took the lead in signing the agreement, and Zheng and Wu were forced to agree.

This is the famous "Mingdao Agreement" in modern history.

In the summer of 1816 in the summer calendar, Yang Meng, the patriarch of the Yang family, proclaimed himself emperor in the Forbidden City in Jiangzhong County, and his year name was Xizhao.The head of the Qi family was named Duke of Yan, the head of the Zheng family was named Duke of Liang, the head of the Wu family was named Duke of Jin, the head of the Shen family was named Duke of Shu, the family of Li was named Duke of Feng, and the head of the Xi family was named Duke of Feng. Zhao Dynasty officially opened the curtain on the stage of history...

Posterity remembers the history, a thick set of "A Brief History of the Sixteen Dynasties" ends here, but Gu Xiyan hides her smile.

Li Chaoyang, Li Chaoyang, how can there be so many coincidences in the world... The Christianity that arose 500 years ago should also take the time to visit, maybe, there may be some interesting discoveries!

Mo Ju looked inside again through the bamboo curtain. This time, the second girl leaned on the big autumn-colored pillow with her eyes closed, smiling at the corner of her mouth, her entire face exuding a soothing brilliance like faintly glowing white jade.

Xinghong followed behind and whispered to Mo Ju, "Are you still reading?"

Mo Ju shook her head: "It seems to be asleep!" After finishing speaking, she gently opened the curtain, walked in tiptoe, covered the second girl with a thin bed of colorful silk, and again Tiptoed out.

Gu Xiyan, who had her eyes closed, opened her beautiful eyes slightly, and then closed them gently.

After a day of reading, she was indeed tired.

The sun gradually moved westward, and the light in the room was gradually eroded by the darkness.When Gu Xiyan opened her eyes again, the room was already pitch black. With her eyes open, she got used to the light after half a moment.

Li Chaoyang finally disappeared in the old imperial palace in Jiannan County. Was it a conspiracy with that man named Shen Xiyan, or was there another secret... No matter what, this senior is worthy of respect.After becoming an emperor, he plagiarized the Four Books and Five Classics, Tang Poetry and Song Ci so thoroughly, he was able to produce things that are convenient for daily life such as glass and mercury mirrors, as well as complex machinery such as looms and sea ships... What a genius!

What was he doing before?Doctor of Science?Literature lover?Big businessman? ...

Gu Xiyan hypothesized while denying it.Even if I am a Chinese major, I can't memorize a complete book of songs, not to mention sea ships that require extremely high skill and creativity.And now, this man named Li Chaoyang created all of this and changed the living environment and living conditions of the Xia people. The most important thing is that he added a new culture to this ancient empire...

Only such a person can be called a hero!

Gu Xiyan smiled.

Where is my position?
