Chapter 32: I have a baby, what are you talking about?! Our Ming Dynasty is dead?!
When Han Cheng heard Lao Zhu's words and felt Zhu Yuanzhang's resolute and invincible aura, he couldn't help but nodded.
As expected, he started with a bowl and fought hard all the way up. He is the only person in history who fought from the south to the north and restored the Han Dynasty.
This kind of courage and extremely perseverance are not something ordinary people can possess.
At that moment, without hiding it, under the gazes of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, he said: "This matter is more complicated to talk about.
What I said actually did not happen in Ming Dynasty.
The etiquette of kneeling and worshiping during the Ming Dynasty was not abolished.
On the contrary, later on, it was greatly strengthened..."
Hearing Han Cheng's words, Zhu Yuanzhang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, just say it!
My own Ming Dynasty has the foundation I have laid, and I will never reach this point no matter what!
Zhu Yuanzhang's self-confidence came back immediately.
But soon, he realized something was different.
Didn’t the abolition of kneeling and worship and the promotion of equality for all happen in our own Ming Dynasty?
What about your own Daming?!
“Where is our Daming?
Since such outrageous things did not happen in our Ming Dynasty, where did such things happen?
Could it be that...you are not from my Ming Dynasty? You are from a foreign country?!"
As soon as the word fanbang came out of his mouth, Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts suddenly became clear.
Many doubts in my heart were also solved.
The Han Cheng in front of him was very different from Ming Dynasty in terms of etiquette, clothing, and behavior.
He should have come from a foreign country hundreds of years later.
Definitely not from my own Ming Dynasty!
When Han Cheng heard what Lao Zhu said, he shook his head repeatedly.
If you move slower, you may be worried that you will be expelled from China by Lao Zhu!
"Your Majesty the Emperor, I am a decent Chinese son and daughter, not a foreigner!"
Han became his own name.
"Not Fanbang?
As you said, the Ming Dynasty did not abolish the kneeling ceremony, nor did it say that everyone is equal.
But you do this?
If you're not from a foreign country, where are you from?!"
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't believe Han Cheng's sophistry at all.
As the Ming Dynasty was established and gradually became stronger, he met many people from foreign lands who wanted to become the people of the Ming Dynasty, so he used various methods.
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Han Cheng with burning eyes. He felt that he had caught the loophole in Han Cheng's words.
Han Cheng glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Well... Your Majesty, is it possible that your Ming Dynasty would have died long ago at that time?"
As soon as Han Cheng said these words, the Qianqing Palace suddenly became quiet.
Both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were stunned by what Han Cheng said.
The Ming Dynasty died?
He died long ago?
How is this possible!!
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!!
silence!
Deadly silence!!
"Stop talking nonsense here! The Ming Dynasty is so powerful, how could it possibly perish?!"
Before Zhu Yuanzhang could speak, Zhu Biao scolded him first.
"Hahaha, you can make it up!
How dare you curse our Ming Dynasty like this!!!"
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered, his voice cold and filled with cold murderous intent.
"Why am I cursing Daming?
The Ming Dynasty was the first year of the Han Dynasty's righteousness, and history books all say that the Ming Dynasty achieved the righteousness of the country, and no one could surpass it.
As a Chinese son, I also have deep feelings for the Ming Dynasty.
What I said are all facts, recorded in history.
Your Majesty and the Prince also know history. The rise and fall of dynasties is an extremely normal thing.
I came here from more than 600 years ago. Which dynasty can exist for such a long time?
How can there be a dynasty that has not declined for more than 600 years?
The powerful Qin Dynasty died in its second generation. The two Han Dynasties combined only lasted four hundred years, and the Tang Dynasty only lasted for two hundred and ninety years."
Hearing what Han Cheng said, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, but he felt that what Han Cheng said made sense.
It seems...there really is no dynasty that has existed for more than five or six hundred years!
But soon, he realized something was wrong.
"I heard that the Shang Dynasty existed for more than five hundred years, and the Zhou Dynasty was founded for eight hundred years!
How dare you tell me here that there is no country that is more than six hundred years old?!"
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Han Cheng, his eyes burning and very unkind.
The Zhou Dynasty lasted for eight hundred years, so the Ming Dynasty lasted for five or six hundred years, which is very reasonable!
Zhu Yuanzhang was not an ignorant person.
He really didn't read much in the past, but later he paid great attention to learning.
This is even more true after becoming emperor.
He didn't have the time or effort to read by himself, so he had people translate history books into vernacular and read them to him when he was eating or doing something that didn't require thinking.
I still know the basic history.
Han Cheng shook his head and said: "How can the Shang and Zhou dynasties be compared with the Qin Dynasty and other dynasties that followed?
At that time, the enfeoffment system was implemented, the power of the emperor was dispersed, and there were many vassal states. The emperor said he was the emperor, but in fact he was just the leader of the alliance of vassal states.
There are very few places where we can actually control it.
Especially in the Zhou Dynasty, by the time of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the power of the emperor fell away.
In the two stages of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, the most conspicuous people are the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Seven Hegemons of the Warring States Period. Who cares about who the Emperor of Zhou is?"
Han Cheng's words made Zhu Yuanzhang somewhat silent.
Although, he didn't want to admit that what Han Cheng said was correct.
But if we really count, the unified, centralized dynasty did indeed begin with the Qin Dynasty.
Compared with the real dynasties, the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties are very different.
Counting from the Qin Dynasty, there are the Qin Dynasty, the Eastern and Western Han Dynasties, and later the Wei, Shu and Wu Dynasties, the two Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties periods, the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms periods, and the Song Dynasty.
There really is no dynasty that lasts more than 600 years!!
Not to mention six hundred years, there are none more than three hundred years ago!
This...how could this be like this?
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little confused, and Zhu Biao was also confused.
In the past, they had never considered this aspect, but now that Han Cheng said this, they suddenly discovered this shocking thing.
How could this be?
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was extremely ugly.
After being silent for a while, he looked up at Han Cheng and said, "Then... how long has our Ming Dynasty existed?
Has it been six hundred years?"
Han Cheng shook his head.
No six hundred years?
"Then...it should be around five hundred years ago, right?"
Han Cheng still shook his head.
Zhu Yuanzhang's complexion became even more ugly.
"Four hundred years! Four hundred years will come, right?"
This is already the limit in his heart!
However, Han Cheng still shook his head.
Zhu Yuanzhang's mood became extremely heavy, and he no longer wanted to speak.
He took a deep breath and calmed down.
Then he said: "Three hundred years!
It should have happened in three hundred years, right?!"
When he asked this question, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice seemed a little trembling.
He clenched his fists tightly, and veins popped out on the back of his hands!
My eyes turned a little red unconsciously.
Han Cheng glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang. Under the bloodshot gazes of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, he hesitated for a moment and shook his head.
"boom!!"
As Han Cheng shook his head, both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao felt a thunder explode in their minds!
