From London to the Kingdom of Belgium, there is only a small English Channel in between, which is not far away, which is most of the day's work.President Meng looked at the sea outside the ship, the weather in early summer, occasionally a few seabirds flew by, in this era that has not been polluted much, the air and scenery are very good.Looking back at the British coastline, Hua Huang was quite emotional, he did not expect that as the number one power in the world, Britain, including the second eldest France, these two powers would be so inferior, and they had no great power bearing at all.Princess Katrina Kafu and Jie Gege, Lee Tae-hee, Cho Qing-luo and others, as well as a group of beautiful secretaries of the President's Secretariat, are sorting out confidential documents, and the Emperor is the center of China, and everywhere is the center, which has caused a great obstacle to the preservation of documents, because there are too many telegrams coming and going every day, and there are many instructions made by the Emperor in the field, which must be recorded.When Huahuang went out, he almost doubled the workload of the president's secretariat.Xuan Yuewu and a group of accompanying engineers were also nervously sorting out documents, most of them were notes made after visiting the industries of various powers, as well as various books obtained from various sources, because the number was too large, even several foreign secretaries accompanying the Emperor had to help.Everyone is very busy, Hua Huang himself is quite leisurely, the most important thing for Hua Huang to do is to calm down and be in a good mood, and try to maintain a relaxed attitude to steer the whole country, although Hua Huang finds it more and more difficult to do, because many measures are launched, not one or two times can be effective.Catherine sat diagonally opposite Hua Huang, Zeng Siping and Sophia were holding a book and reading, and Catherine was also reading.Emperor Hua looked at Catherine for a while, Catherine suddenly raised her face to look at Emperor Hua, so that Emperor Hua wanted to pretend to look away too late, so he could only smile.Catherine's heart fluttered, originally she just felt that Her Majesty was looking at herself, but she didn't expect Her Majesty to really look at herself.Emperor Hua glanced at Timothy Lee, who was following several foreign secretaries to sort out documents, and Catherine had naturally sat down next to the emperor.This made Emperor Hua a little nervous, originally just blushing slightly, but at the moment he seemed to feel that his face was hot, but he asked casually: "What book are you reading?"
"Looking at the historical materials recompiled after the founding of the Chinese State, I am the history of the Ming Dynasty, among the various dynasties, I like the Ming Dynasty the most." ”Catherine smiled, in fact, she knew that Emperor Hua liked Ming Shi the most, so she was particularly interested in Ming History.Sure enough, Emperor Hua became interested and took the book in Catherine's hand to read it, and Catherine was seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's chapter.After the founding of the People's Republic of China, under the instructions of the Emperor Hua, the history of various dynasties was revised, and there was only one requirement, to be truthful, to use hard information to corroborate it as much as possible, and to ask the compiler not to be emotional, and finally completed it within two years.It's just that the emperor asked to use hard information as much as possible, so almost all the historical materials from the water were removed, which also caused the recompiled annals of Huaguo to be very concise, most of them were narratives, and there were few comments on the part, which was relatively obscure, but added a lot of space for people to make up for it automatically."
You're reading Zhu Yuanzhang's anti-corruption paragraph," Emperor Hua returned the book to Catherine."
Yes, I'm wondering what kind of person Zhu Yuanzhang is and why he is committed to anti-corruption and strict punishment, but it seems that after his death, he did not leave much influence."
Catherine whispered softly, as if she was whispering to Emperor Hua.President Meng felt comfortable in his heart, and said softly: "Zhu Yuanzhang is a great man, and he can even be regarded as the first three important great men in Chinese history" In fact, Catherine asked, and it was also the favor of the Chinese Emperor, the Chinese Emperor once said in private that the top three emperors who should be evaluated should be the first to complete the unification of Qin Shi Huang, and then the Han Emperor Liu Bang, who really condensed the Chinese nation, and then the latter one, people who are generally a little interested in history, will publicly say that the public is reasonable, and the mother is reasonable, and it is not clear that it is here, in the Chinese Emperor, thought it was Zhu Yuanzhang."
Do you think so," Emperor Hua asked happily, "However, in today's society, his evaluation is not high, and many emperors in history are above him." ”Catherine snorted, "I know a few too. ”"Tell me about it."
Hua Huang's mood was much better, and he found that in addition to eating Catherine's tofu, chatting with Catherine was also a pleasure.Catherine thought for a moment and listed a few of the emperors in the history of China that she had heard praised.Some people believe that Zhao Zhen, who is known as the benevolent monarch of the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty is the second relatively open and tolerant period in Chinese history since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.The root of this lies in the generous tolerance of Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin.After Song Renzong Zhao Zhen ascended the throne, he carried this tradition to the maximum.The law of the Song Dynasty stated that a minister could not be whipped at the court.It is forbidden to insult the minister.Except for rebellion and rebellion, his subordinates are not allowed to kill.In addition, a special system of speech officials has been established.From then on, the Song Dynasty became the second period of academic freedom in Chinese history since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.The emperors of the Song Dynasty disagreed with their subordinates, either let them go, demoted them, or removed them from office, but never killed or persecuted.The Song Dynasty did not promote literary prisons and was more tolerant of scholars.Therefore, many outstanding poets and lyricists have been created, and they have written resentful and arrogant poems that have been circulated through the ages, and they have the prosperity of Song poetry.Zhao Zhen was born in an imperial family, ascended the throne at the age of 12, and became a pro-government at the age of 23.During the reign of Song Renzong, the country was stable and peaceful, the economy was prosperous, and science, technology and culture were greatly developed.Song Renzong has a generous temperament, does not do anything extravagant, is strict with himself, and treats others leniently, and has been praised by historians and politicians of all dynasties.Once, in early autumn, officials offered clams.Renzong asked where he got it, and his subordinates replied that they had been transported from afar.When asked how much it was, he replied that there were 28 pieces in total, and each piece was the main stem.Renzong said, "I often tell you to save, and now it costs 28,000 yuan to eat a few clams, and I can't eat them." ”One day, Renzong dealt with affairs until late at night, tired and hungry, and wanted to eat a bowl of mutton hot soup, but he endured hunger and did not say it, and then the queen knew, so he persuaded him: "Your Majesty works day and night, you must take care of your body, if you want to eat mutton soup, just order the imperial kitchen at any time, how can you endure hunger and make Your Majesty's dragon body suffer" Renzong said to the queen: "The palace will ask for it casually for a while, it will make it a common practice for the outside, if I ate mutton soup last night, the imperial kitchen will slaughter it night and night, hundreds of them will be taken down in a year, forming a rule, and the number of slaughters in the future is unbearable." , just because of my bowl of food, and create this evil example, and hurt the living things, I can't bear it, so I would rather endure hunger for a while. ”Able to serve the Lord.Almost all of the famous rulers of the Song Dynasty appeared in the Song Renzong period.During Bao Zheng's tenure as a superintendent of the imperial history and an advisor, he repeatedly violated Yan Zhizhi, and in a hurry, spit often splashed on Renzong's face, but Renzong wiped his face with his sleeves while accepting his advice.Zhao Zhen's governance pursued peace in the world rather than unification.At one point, the envoy reported that Goryeo's tribute was getting less and less, and asked for troops.Renzong said: This is only the sins of the king.Now send troops, and the king will not necessarily be killed, but hundreds of people will be killed.So in the end, it was ignored.Song Renzong advocated tolerance, generosity, and leniency, and even tolerated "great rebellion" remarks.There was a talent in Sichuan who failed to succeed repeatedly, so he wrote poems to incite rebellion, and Chengdu Taishou sent him to the capital and handed him over to the emperor for severe punishment.But Renzong said: "This is Lao Xiucai, who is consciously talented and unlucky, eager to be an official, write a poem to vent his anger, how can he punish the crime, it is better to give him a chance and see his performance."
So he gave him an official job.The influence of Song Renzong's charisma crossed borders during his reign.During the 42-year reign of Song Renzong, the garrisons of the surrounding enemy countries on the border of the Song Dynasty were gradually withdrawn.Before his death, Renzong left an edict: the funeral must be simple.After the news of his death broke, the whole country was in mourning, and even beggars burned paper money and cried.The smoke of burning paper money filled the entire capital, so that the sun was gone, and people in remote areas wore filial hats to mourn.The obituary was sent to the surrounding enemy countries, and the people of the enemy countries spontaneously wept and mourned along the streets, and even the emperor of the Liao State held the hand of the messenger and cried: We have not seen each other in 42 years.Song Renzong Zhao Zhen's benevolence and strength can be described as a generation of Ming monarchs and holy lords.Although great unification was not achieved, the people lived in the Song Dynasty during the reign of Song Renzong, and were far happier than they were born in China and even in any other period in ancient China.Song Renzong's strict self-discipline and lenient treatment of others set an example for later emperors and became an example for later generations of emperors.Song Renzong's model of statecraft is still the focus of study and research by economists and historians at home and abroad.Benevolent government has always been the highest ideal of traditional politics, and Song Renzong pushed the country's cultural art to the pinnacle of ancient society, creating a prosperous ancient China, and was known as the first benevolent monarch of the ages.Some people also think that it is the peerless empress Wu Zetian.Wu Zetian was born in the family of the eunuch, and was born beautiful and intelligent.At that time, the emperor Tang Gaozong was sick, and Wu Zetian used a strategy to depose the queen at that time, established himself as the queen, and began to participate in court politics.After the death of Tang Gaozong, Wu Zetian deposed the second emperor of Zhongzong Ruizong, changed the name of the country to Zhou, and established himself as the emperor, becoming the only female emperor in Chinese history.After Wu Zetian was proclaimed emperor, he opened the imperial examination, made an exception for employing people, rewarded agriculture and mulberry, developed the economy, knew people well, allowed people to accept advice, and was in charge of the government for nearly half a century, social stability, economic development, the rule of Zhenguan, and the prosperity of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, which laid a solid foundation for the arrival of the greatest prosperous era in ancient Chinese history.The first contribution was to strike at the conservative gatekeeper aristocracy.After Wu Zetian was made queen, he drove the eldest grandson Wuji, Chu Suiliang and others who opposed her as queen out of the court one by one and banished them to remote areas.For Wu Zetian, this was an example to the chicken, but these Guanlong nobles and their dependents had become a conservative force with vested interests at that time.Their expulsion from the political arena marked the end of the more than century-long rule of the Guanlong aristocracy from the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and also created a favorable condition for social progress and economic development.The second is to promote economic development.Although, as early as the Zhenguan period, the policy of "persuading farmers and mulberries" was proposed, but due to various reasons, it was not well implemented.Therefore, Wu Zetian suggested in the twelve suggestions to "persuade farmers and mulberries and serve thinly".After she took power, she compiled the Zhaoren Benye Ji and issued it to the prefecture and county, as a reference for the state and county officials to persuade farmers.She also paid attention to the administration of local officials and strengthened supervision over landlords and officials.A more tolerant policy was also adopted with regard to land annexation and the fleeing peasants.Therefore, during the reign of Wu Zetian, the society was quite stable, agriculture, handicrafts and commerce had developed by leaps and bounds, and the population further increased from 3.8 million households in the early years of Tang Gaozong to 6.15 million households, with an average annual growth rate of 10%.This was a very high growth rate in the Middle Ages, and it was also an objective data reflecting the economic development of the Tang Dynasty during the Wu Zetian period.The third contribution is to stabilize the situation on the frontier.After Wu Zetian came to power, the frontier was not peaceful.The Western Turks captured the four towns of Anxi, and the Tibetans continued to attack the Tang in the Qinghai area.The Eastern Turks in the north and the Khitan in the northeast fought all the way to central Hebei.On the one hand, Wu Zetian organized a counteroffensive, restored the four towns of Anxi, repelled the attacks of the Turks and Khitans, and at the same time set up military towns in the border areas to garrison troops, and extended the practice of Gaozong in Tuntian, Qinghai in the last years to Zhangye, Wuwei, Inner Mongolia, Wuyuan, and Jimusar, Xinjiang.With a moderate ethnic policy, we embrace the development of multiculturalism.For Lou Shide, who has made great contributions to the work in Tuntian, Wu Zetian specially wrote a letter of encouragement.Because of the tuntian, the grain of the northern town soldiers was "salty for several years".The fourth contribution is to promote the development of culture.Shen Jiji, a Tang dynasty man, said when talking about the imperial examination system: "The queen mother is quite involved in literature and history, and she is good at carving insects. ”"The Queen Mother has been in the world for more than 20 years, and at that time, the ministers were all in the world, all of them reached with articles, and over time, immersion has become a trend."
Shen Jiji's words contain a wealth of content.First, Wu Zetian attaches great importance to the imperial examination and opens up the Zhizhi department.Once, when she was planning to make a candidate for the imperial examination, she came to the examination room in person and presided over the examination.The second is that at that time, the Jinshi and system examinations were mainly examination questions, that is, arguments.The quality of the essay is the main criterion for admission.Third, Wu Zetian does not look at the family background, does not ask whether you are a descendant of a high-ranking official, but whether you have political talent, so he pays special attention to selecting high-ranking officials from among those who have come from the imperial examination.More and more people who were born in the imperial examination and became high-ranking officials greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of poets to participate in the imperial examination, and even more stimulated the enthusiasm of ordinary people to read and study.This is what Shen Jiji said, "immersion has become a trend".During the Kaiyuan and Tianbao periods, the social atmosphere of "the father teaches his son, and the brother teaches his brother", and the social atmosphere of "the five-foot boy is ashamed of his words" began in the Wu Zetian period.It is the popularization of culture that has promoted the all-round development of culture, and the famous poets and writers Cui Rong and Li Qiao have emerged during this period, and sculpture and painting have also reached an unprecedented level.History called the period when Wu Zetian was in power as "Zhenguan Legacy".There are also a large number of people who believe that it is the Qing Emperor Zuren Emperor Kangxi, especially the era of 1879 in which Emperor Hua is now living, who has just overthrown the rule of the Manchu Dynasty, and there are a large number of old and young people, and the old and young do not simply refer to the Manchus, but refer to people with Manchu thoughts.Kangxi also does know where to praise, succeeded to the throne at the age of 8, pro-government at the age of 14, and reigned for 61 years, making him the longest-reigning emperor in Chinese history.Kangxi has been tireless in learning and resolute since he was a child.He was still a child when he put on the dragon robe, and his ancestors did not give him the rule of the country.Anti-Qing forces and separatist activities came from all directions.The young emperor, who was in power at the age of 14, got rid of the auxiliary ministers who pressed on his head at the age of 16, and since then he has been in power alone.At the age of 20, he faced the rebellion of the three feudatories led by Wu Sangui, and after years of fighting, he pacified the three feudatories, unified Mongolia, recovered Taiwan, rejected Tsarist Russia in the north, and maintained the unity.Even Emperor Hua thought that Kangxi was an outstanding politician and military strategist, he was sober-minded, both civil and military, and he was diligent and prudent in his own studies and government affairs.It was able to better handle the relationship between ethnic groups, promoted the social and economic development in the early years of the Qing Dynasty, and laid the boundaries of China's multi-ethnic unified state.During the reign of Kangxi, he removed Wu Sangui and other feudal forces, and resisted the invasion of Tsarist Russia in the northeast region of China at that time, and signed the Treaty of Nebuchu to demarcate the northeast border of China.He built a summer resort in Chengde as a base for interaction with the northern nomads.From a socio-economic point of view, Kangxi adopted a series of policies conducive to the national economy and people's livelihood: actively encouraging land reclamation, abolishing the land enclosure order, and implementing water conservancy projects to renovate the Yellow River, Huai River, and canals.In particular, in the 51st year of Kangxi, it was decided to "never increase the tax", cancel the poll tax on the new population, and finally evolved into the system of "apportionment into the mu".and a large tax.In the end, it promoted the development of the agricultural economy, which was manifested in the rapid expansion of cultivated land, the increase in grain output, and the extensive cultivation of cash crops, which laid the foundation for the so-called "prosperous Kangqian era."
Emperor Wen of Han Liu Heng was the fourth emperor of the Han Dynasty and reigned for 23 years.Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty was frugal and simple, strict with himself, and rarely added personal belongings.Once he wanted to build a terrace, and calculated that it would cost 100 catties of gold, which was equivalent to the property of 0 families in a medium-sized family, so he gave up.He was opposed to heavy burials, and his tomb was full of pottery, and precious metals such as gold and silver were not allowed.He also advocated that after death, the court maids below the wife should be sent home and let them remarry.During the reign of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, he was lightly exempted from the national field endowment for 12 years.He also personally farmed, set an example in the world, and promoted the rapid recovery and development of productive forces.Politically, it strengthened the centralization of power internally, consolidated the state power, properly handled relations with Nanyue and the Xiongnu externally, implemented a policy of appeasement to Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, and strengthened the strength of border defense while implementing a policy of peace and proximity to the Xiongnu.The Xiongnu invaded the Han border three times, and Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty sent troops to fight back in time to repel the strong enemy.Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty abolished the strict Xing Law, took the lead in implementing the legal judgment, and knew people well, humbly accepted advice, promoted and reused talents, and created the first rule of the world in Chinese history, so that the Han Dynasty gradually moved from the initial state to prosperity, and laid a solid foundation for the later Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to sweep the Quartet.The reign of Emperor Wen of Han was a transitional period for the Han Dynasty from the initial state to prosperity.He continued to implement a policy of rest with the people and a policy of lightly dispensing with the poor.He twice reduced the land rent to 30 taxes and even exempted the whole country from paying the land tax for 12 years, thus greatly reducing the burden on the peasants.He also personally cultivated and set an example in the world, which played a positive role in promoting the rapid recovery and development of agricultural production at that time.In order to strengthen the centralization of power, he gradually weakened the power of the princes.At that time, the princes and kings held the political and economic power in the feudal country, which posed a serious threat to the unity of the country and the consolidation of the central power.Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty successively smashed the rebellion of Liu Xingju and Liu Chang, and accepted Jia Yi's proposal to divide the big princes to maintain the unity of the country.He also properly handled the relations between the Han Dynasty and Nanyue and the Xiongnu, implemented a policy of appeasement to Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, and strengthened the strength of the border defense while continuing to implement a policy of peace and proximity to the Xiongnu.The Xiongnu invaded the Han border three times, but he sent troops to fight back in time and drove them out of the Saiwai.On the basis of Gaozu, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty further abolished some harsh laws such as corporal punishment and defamation and fallacy.He implemented the policy of probation in prison and the prohibition of the law, and took the lead in enforcing legal judgments, which is rare and commendable as a feudal monarch.He knew people well, humbly accepted advice, promoted and reused Jia Yi, Huang Cuo, Zhang Shizhi, Zhou Yafu and other talents, and created a prosperous situation in the prosperous era of Wenjing."
Your Majesty, is Genghis Khan the emperor in the history of China?"
