Mention the person whom Lao Zhu admires most.

Some people will immediately think of the First Emperor Ying Zheng. After all, Brother Zheng is the first emperor in this land of Yanhuang and the first emperor in the world to create the name of emperor.

But actually, no.

Let’s look at Lao Zhu’s decades of entrepreneurial history.

Everyone will subconsciously choose, get close to, and admire people who are most similar to themselves, so that they can show their greatness.

"Except for Ying Pingxiang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty was a tolerant and magnanimous man. He was able to conquer the sea and live for four hundred years. He was the one who ruled the world with virtue and contributed to the peace of the world."

This sentence is the exact words that Lao Zhu once said about Liu Bang.

The emperor that Lao Zhu admired most in his life was none other than Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty.

This can be demonstrated from the Imperial Temple founded by Lao Zhu.

After Lao Zhu founded the Ming Dynasty, he changed the old practice of scattered sacrifices in previous dynasties and pioneered collective sacrifices to emperors of the past dynasties.

With a wave of his hand, he built China's first imperial temple in Yingtian, and personally selected a list of sixteen emperors who could live in the imperial temple and accept worship from the Ming Dynasty royal family.

These sixteen people are: Three Emperors and Five Emperors, Dayu, Tang of Shang, King Wu of Zhou, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, and Shizu of the Yuan Dynasty.

It can be seen from this list that Lao Zhu does not approve of Brother Zheng, mainly because he feels that Brother Zheng is too short-lived and not lasting enough.

The first 'emperor' in his mind was Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty who founded the Han Dynasty for four hundred years.

After the first sacrifice in the Emperor's Temple, Lao Zhu even looked at the statue of Liu Bang and sighed: "Mr. Liu, all the kings in the temple today have something to rely on to win the world, but I and you don't have an inch of ground to carry.

, to be crowned emperor is more rare than these princes, and we can drink three nobles together."

As for why Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, was also included, it was because the Ming Dynasty founded by Lao Zhu wanted to legally inherit the unification of the Yuan Dynasty, so that the Ming Dynasty could legitimately continue to expand northward in the future, and for the sake of its international status in East Asia.

The reason why Lao Zhu took Liu Bang as his example.

The reason is simple. The two of them are so similar.

Lao Zhu: I am a poor and humble young man with high ambitions, and thousands of troops are in full swing; I am powerful because the Ming Dynasty is strong, and I am powerful because the world is strong! I am a commoner in Huaiyou, how can the world compare to me!

Lao Liu: The strong wind is blowing, the clouds are flying, the Weijia sea is returning home, and the warriors are guarding the four directions.

First, compared to the founders of other dynasties, both of them came from humble beginnings and climbed up step by step.

Lao Zhu needs no further introduction. His family is a real poor peasant. When his parents died, they didn’t even have a coffin board or a place to bury them.

Lao Liu is better, he is a low-level official, although he is different in certain qualities.

But looking at the entire ups and downs of the dynasty, it is completely incomparable to the founding emperors who also created a unified dynasty, such as Sima Yan of the Western Jin Dynasty, Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty, and Zhao Da Kuangyin.

This group of people all had a unified identity before they started their business, the second generation of Quan.

Among the monarchs who created a unified dynasty, Lao Liu can be regarded as the founding emperor whose origin is closest to Lao Zhu.

This means that when ordinary people start trouble, there is no reason to suspect that they are powerful.

Second, be the most righteous in the world.

Needless to say, Lao Zhu expelled the Tartars and restored China. This alone makes the legitimacy of the Ming Dynasty undisputed.

And Lao Liu.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the world was in chaos.

Whoever can put an end to the chaos in the world will be the one whom the people support and the destiny of the people belongs to.

This is to eliminate violence for the people: no premonition of divine weapons.

Third, the attitude towards heroes.

To sum it up, it can be summed up in one word: kill.

Of course, Lao Zhu fully carried forward Lao Liu's excellent tradition. When Lao Liu killed heroes, he selected people to kill, while Lao Zhu killed them uniformly.

Fourth, the two people’s places of origin.

Lao Liu is from Peixian County.

Although Lao Zhu is from Fengyang, his ancestral home is also Peixian County.

As the saying goes, when fellow villagers meet fellow villagers, tears well up in their eyes.

By the window.

The sunset is infinitely beautiful, so is dusk.

"Do you want to see Liu Bang?"

Ji Boying tasted the Dahongpao of Pinmu tree, glanced at Lao Zhu, and said lightly.

Lao Zhu was stunned for a moment, thinking that he hadn't spoken yet.

"Hahaha, I really can't hide anything from my brother."

Lao Zhu chuckled.

"It would be a great pleasure in life if I could have a few drinks with Mr. Liu."

Picking up the tea cup and taking a sip, Lao Zhu continued.

"Except for Liu Jun, I think Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty Liu Xiu and Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin are both barely able to do it. They can all be invited to teach these bastards."

Lao Zhu was the founding king of the Ming Dynasty and a hero of his generation.

When he was asked to choose the emperor, his vision was naturally focused on the founding kings of each dynasty, and there were some founding kings that Lao Zhu still looked down upon, such as Sima Yan of the Western Jin Dynasty, Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty, etc.

This can be seen from the list of offerings in the Imperial Temple established by Lao Zhu.

Not even one of the fifteen emperors of the Eastern and Western Jin Dynasties was selected for selection. It would be too wasteful to abolish the Jin Dynasty.

"Hmm."

Ji Boying nodded slightly, then looked at A Biao.

When it comes to choosing the emperor of the teaching class, Abiao will consider it more comprehensively than Lao Zhu.

After all, when Lao Zhu selects people, his first priority is to compare them with himself. In the Qin, Han, Jin, Tang, and Song dynasties, there are a few who can compare with Lao Zhu.

"Abiao, tell me what you think."

Hear the words.

Abiao nodded solemnly, his eyes filled with seriousness, and his heart was filled with excitement that was hard to calm down.

He knows.

I finally entered the teaching level.

This represents a qualitative leap in the immortal master's recognition of himself.

Whether it is the authority to change homework grading or the ability to choose the emperor's personnel who are now participating in the teacher's class, this represents an increase in his authority in the class. He is no longer a student, but a teacher.

In his heart, Abiao kept giving himself hints to help him adapt to the new role as soon as possible.

Take a deep breath.

"Immortal Master, I thought."

"In addition to the few people my father mentioned just now, the first emperor Ying Zheng, Han Wu Liu Che, the founding king of Wei, Shu and Wu, Ming Emperor Sima Shao, Li Zhiwu Zhao, later Zhou Chai Rong..."

"These people all have their own shining sides. All we have to do is let them show their shining sides for students to learn from."

After speaking, Abiao paused for a moment.

"And the immortal master has said before that successful experiences are worth learning from, but the lessons of failure also need to be learned."

"So, I think the kings who lost their country in the past dynasties, such as Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, etc., as well as the beast dynasties such as the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Central and Northern Qi, and the likes of Shi Jingtang in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, can also be included as candidates."<

/p>

"Let them teach the students so that they can see things straight."

After Ji Boying listened, he rubbed his beard for a while.

He felt that what A Biao said was very reasonable, and both good and bad should be listened to, so that it would be comprehensive.

It's just that the emperor is chosen to teach.

But if we select some emperors who do not distinguish between humans and animals, it is estimated that this class will turn into a physical education class from time to time.

The only sport: group fighting.

The emperors of the Great Ming Dynasty beat up the lone emperors of other dynasties.

For example, Gao Yang of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and beasts like Liu Ziye of the Liu Song Dynasty, after being recruited, they must be beaten first as a sign of respect.

"Hmm."

Ji Boying nodded slightly.

"Abiao, your suggestion in advance is very good."

"After you go back today, you should immediately make a list of the emperors of the past dynasties. At the same time, clearly mark your opinions on them and give them to me before class tomorrow."
