Chapter 152 The emperors of tomorrow bow together! Little Ice Age! The lonely merchant is dead!
‘What is this guy doing?’
Ji Boying glanced at the Pig Head Fort, and then at Zhu Zaijing, who was holding back his laughter.
His expression did not change, and he roughly guessed what was going on.
A passing thought.
Pig's Head Castle quietly disappeared from his seat.
Anyway, whether Pig Head Castle listens or not, the impact on the time and space of "Orthodox-Jingtai" will be the same.
Rather than letting this guy sit here and disrupt the rhythm of the class, it is better to let him go back to find Queen Qian to solve the problem.
On the other hand, Zhu Zaijing deserves to be punished for disrespecting his ancestors.
No matter how disastrous the performance of Pig Head Castle is in this life, in terms of status, Zhu Qizhen is the fourth generation ancestor of Zhu Zaijing. You can look down on your ancestors, but you cannot make fun of your ancestors.
After all, if we talk about a single space-time timeline.
If your ancestor's gun breaks, you are gone. Do you understand that it is gone?!
"Chou Yi."
"Tell me about the relationship between natural disasters and national subjugation."
The words fell.
Zhu Zaijing, who was still suppressing laughter in his seat, didn't realize that he was called.
‘Pa’.
Father Jiajing, who was closest to him, saw that his son Zhu Zaijing had no reaction at all. He frowned, reached out and slapped Zhu Zaijing on the back of the head.
Zhu Zaijing was stunned, subconsciously covering his head with his right hand and raising his head.
"???"
He suddenly discovered that everyone's eyes were on him at this time.
At this moment, he finally noticed something. The number plate on his desk had the word "Chou Yi" on it. The person who was called out just now was himself!
Ding.
Zhu Zaijing supported the table with his hands and stood up quickly.
"This, this..."
Zhu Zaijing's mind went blank, and his tone even stuttered.
He had never considered the relationship between natural disasters and the subjugation of the country. Even when I paid tribute, the cabinet had finished all the work and was only waiting for him, the emperor, to sign it and it would take effect.
As a result, he refused to sign it and sent it directly back to the cabinet, saying that you don't know anything about it, let alone consider natural disasters in various places.
"That, that..."
Zhu Zaijing groaned for a long time.
"A useless thing!"
Lao Zhu, who was sitting on the Grand Master's chair, glared at Zhu Zaijing and shouted coldly, which frightened Emperor Longqing to the point where his legs instantly became weak. Fortunately, there was a table in front of him to support him, otherwise he would have knelt down in front of Grandpa Taizu.<
/p>
"After class, copy the entire lecture notes. You are not allowed to go back until you finish copying."
Ji Boying glanced at Zhu Zaijing lightly.
This kid really forgot about everything except shooting. He perfectly explained the saying: Mud can't hold up a wall.
After saying this, he looked at Zhu Biao.
"Abiao, come on."
"Yes."
Abiao stood up, confident and confident, but he also had doubts about the problem in his eyes.
After taking a deep breath, he spoke.
"If a natural disaster occurs, the people will be the first to suffer. The land will not be harvested and the number of refugees will increase, which will in turn affect the country's tax revenue. At the same time, the court will also spend a lot of money to provide disaster relief and help the people. In this way, they can only go out but not in, which seriously affects the country.
Finance."
"But."
Having said this, A Biao took a deep breath and then bowed to Ji Boying.
"Master Immortal, I have something that I don't understand."
"Natural disasters occur frequently and are inevitable, but students believe that there is no inevitable connection between natural disasters and national subjugation."
At first glance, this sentence sounds like a refutation of Ji Boying's question, but in Ji Boying's view, this is a good thing. Don't believe in any authority. Only by thinking about problems with your own thinking can you discover problems and finally achieve breakthroughs. p>
Abiao just finished speaking.
Lao Zhu also spoke.
"Brother, actually we feel the same way."
"Let's just say that in our Hongwu Dynasty, the year we founded the country, the first year of Hongwu, there was a severe drought in the world."
"And throughout the history of the dynasties, there has never been a year without floods or droughts. Natural disasters are really not a rare thing. How could they lead to the destruction of a country?"
When Lao Zhu Di heard this, he nodded in approval.
"The same was true in my Yongle year. Severe droughts, locust plagues, and floods were all overlapping in various places. From the beginning to the end of the year, they basically never stopped."
As soon as these three words came out of their mouths.
Suddenly, the emperors in the seats became excited and chatterbox suddenly opened up.
This group of people who originally didn't speak much in class now introduced each and every one of them vividly, generally talking about how difficult it was for them to suffer from natural disasters and how much effort they put into dealing with them. p>
Especially Zhu Youtang, who kept saying that he spent a lot of effort to control floods.
Treat it once and it lasts for three months.
However, some people couldn't help but frown while listening and discovered a problem.
For example, Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu, who was usually relatively silent in class, suddenly spoke after a moment of reflection.
"Everyone, have you discovered a problem?"
‘Question?’
Upon hearing the sound, Lao Zhu, A Biao, Lao Zhu Di, Zhu Laosi and others all looked at Emperor Jingtai immediately. They were stared at by more than 20 people at the same time. This time, Emperor Jingtai was confused.
I'm a little nervous.
"Gengyi."
"Don't be nervous, stand up and speak."
Ji Boying smiled slightly and cast an encouraging look towards Emperor Jingtai.
Then I glanced at the classroom.
"The same goes for everyone else. If you have any questions, you must be like Geng Yi and have the courage to speak directly in class. It is best not to leave them behind after class, and don't keep them in your heart without asking."
"Pretending to understand when you don't understand is the most stupid thing."
Lao Zhu struck the ground with his mace and glanced at his children and grandchildren.
"Did everyone hear you?!"
Stop drinking.
Everyone has their backs straight.
"Listen clearly! (in unison)"
The standing Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu took a deep breath.
"Just now I heard everyone talking about natural disasters in various dynasties, and I suddenly discovered a pattern."
"Starting from the Hongwu period, the further back in time, the more frequent natural disasters occurred, the more destructive each natural disaster was, and the greater the disaster relief expenditures required by the court."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked startled.
Then, they quickly recalled the discussion just now, and their faces changed drastically.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
No one except Zhu Qiyu noticed this detail just now.
"It's true!"
Abiao quickly reviewed the discussion about natural disasters in various time and space, took a deep breath, and looked surprised.
"Master Immortal, why is this?"
Zhu Laosi frowned. This problem seemed to him very serious.
"This is definitely not an accident."
Old Zhu Di also said solemnly, once or twice was accidental, but this was more than ten time and space comparisons.
"As time goes by, natural disasters become more frequent and serious. Could it be that our Ming Dynasty has been cursed by God?"
Chenghua Emperor Zhu Jian thought deeply for a while and said a line that should have been spoken by the Jiajing Immortal.
Jiajing Immortal was stunned: What did I say?!
"Grandpa Huang and I have the same view."
Immortal Jiajing followed.
Lao Zhu's brows furrowed even more as he listened to the words of his children and grandchildren.
At first, he really didn't pay attention to this detail at all, but now that it sounded, he couldn't help but feel a chill on his back, and even cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
It's like there is an invisible hand pushing the entire Ming Dynasty bit by bit, bit by bit, into the abyss of eternal destruction.
Lao Zhu took a deep breath and let it out again.
Then, stand up.
Lao Zhu has taken so many classes and has long been accustomed to Ji Boying's rhythm.
He knew very well that every word the immortal master said on this podium must contain a profound meaning, and as long as it was spoken by his brother, there must be a solution.
"Brother, please save Daming!"
After saying this, Lao Zhu clasped his fists in salute and bowed.
Wow.
Even Taizu was bowing, so the descendants of them naturally did not dare to sit down, so they all stood up and saluted Ji Boying.
"Please immortal master, save the Ming Dynasty! (in unison)"
In the center of the podium, the grand master's chair.
Ji Boying glanced at the group of emperors and princes who stood up and bowed to him.
He calmly pressed his hands.
"Everyone sit down."
"Try to avoid this kind of behavior in the future."
"Especially you."
Ji Boying glanced at Lao Zhu and stood up and bowed frequently, which easily disrupted the rhythm of the class.
"Hey, yes, yes, brother said yes, we will never do it again in the future."
Lao Zhu smiled awkwardly and sat down without any ink.
Wow.
The rest of the people sat down neatly.
"This, this..."
Because of his broken leg, Zhu Zaijing, who had just stood up after everyone else had finished bowing, became embarrassed. Fortunately, no one paid attention to him at this moment, so he could only sit down again little by little.<
/p>
"The doubts in your hearts all lie in four words."
Ji Boying spoke calmly.
‘Four words?!’
As soon as the words hit their ears, everyone suddenly held their breath and focused their attention to the extreme, for fear of missing any word.
Next.
I saw Ji Boying getting up.
With an extremely chic posture, he turned around and picked up the pen resting on the pen holder beside the huge rice paper.
Dragons and phoenixes dance, and the pen moves on the silver hook.
After "On how to destroy a country due to natural disasters", I wrote four more words.
These four words came into the eyes of everyone present, and doubts arose in everyone's eyes.
Even Abiao, the most knowledgeable member of the Zhu family, has never heard of this term. His eyes looking at the immortal master are full of curiosity.
Four words: "Little Ice Age".
The entire main hall was as silent as ink, and no one made a sound.
Because they all know that next is the time for the immortal master to explain, and the only thing they have to do is to listen carefully.
"All the causes of the changes you just mentioned are due to the Little Ice Age."
"First."
"You must first have a rough idea of what the Little Ice Age is."
"To put it simply, the so-called Little Ice Age means that the temperature of the entire world changed from warm and humid to low and dry within a certain period of time."
As soon as these words came out, all the emperors and princes present were confused.
‘What’s the temperature?’
"Of course, the Little Ice Age and the collapse of a dynasty are not completely directly linked."
"However, the emergence of the Little Ice Age was indispensable for the collapse of a dynasty."
"There is no doubt about this."
"Since the beginning of the dynasty, there have been four Little Ice Ages, and each time there has been a dynasty change."
"One of them, and the last one, was the Ming Dynasty."
The emperors and princes who were still thinking about the meaning of these words suddenly changed their expressions when they heard the name "Ming Dynasty", and they all took a deep breath.
"After having a general understanding of the Little Ice Age."
"Next, let's take a look at the collapse of a dynasty from the perspective of the Little Ice Age."
"Look first, the scene of destruction."
Ji Boying finished speaking.
A moment.
36D holographic projection, turned on instantly.
The surrounding scenery changes instantly.
The light of the fire instantly caught everyone's eyes, their pupils shrank sharply, and the blazing wave of fire hit, making everyone's breathing quicken.
"This is..."
Lao Zhu stood up subconsciously, looking at the flames around him, and couldn't help but feel frightened.
A Biao also stood up and quickly came to Lao Zhu's side.
Xiao Zhusi, Zhu Laosi, Old Zhu Di, the emperors and princes of various time and space, all looked around in astonishment, and then finally focused their eyes on the center, where the immortal master on the podium was originally.
In their eyes, there was a burly man standing in the center of the raging flames. The man was wearing a white imperial robe and a crown, surrounded by jade, and had a thick but extremely neat beard, showing that he was a king.
Qi.
The flames roared like ferocious beasts, approaching the man from all directions, threatening to engulf him.
And this burly man didn't care at all about the approaching flames around him. He held the scepter that symbolized royal power in his hand, and stared calmly into the distance with a pair of deep eyes that commanded the world.
He stared at his country, his capital, and his dynasty.
"Shang Wangdi Xin."
Ji Boying looked at this burly man, a man who was labeled by later generations as a 'tyrant', 'faint king', 'the last human emperor', and a 'heroic lord'.
The last king of the Shang Dynasty, Emperor Xin Yinshou.
Historical records: Emperor Zhou was gifted with the ability to detect quick diseases, was very sensitive in hearing and seeing, had extraordinary physical strength, and was able to handle fierce beasts with his hands.
Historical records: Emperor Zhou was huge and beautiful, a hero in the world, strong and strong, and the enemy of a hundred men.
The image of Emperor Xin depicted in the history books is very consistent with the projection at this moment. The absolutely high-ranking commander is quite similar in appearance to the one who twisted his waist on the spring evening in the early years.
Lao Zhu and others were all staring at this ancient emperor.
As for their views on Emperor Xin, they are naturally different from what later generations thought. As emperors, they received the most authentic historical materials, and they mostly learned from Emperor Xin's policies during his reign.
Of course, in order to use the reputation of King Zhou to instill a certain idea into the people, it is natural to add layers of crimes. The many crimes on Emperor Xin were basically piled up from generation to generation.
After Yin Shou succeeded to the throne, he was determined to change. He wanted to break the downward fortune of the Shang Dynasty and rebuild the glorious Shang Dynasty. He wanted to break the monopoly of power by the old aristocrats and select talents from the bottom in an eclectic way.
However, due to the limitations of the times, it suffered severe backlash.
When the Zhou Dynasty conquered the Shang Dynasty, Emperor Xin was listed with six crimes. From the perspective of authenticity, there is probably no problem with the historical materials of these six crimes, because they were written by the victors, and the victors often only
If I write it in black, I will never explain it to you.
1. Alcoholism and debauchery;
Second, there is no need to treat relatives and ministers;
Third, use a villain (not a treacherous person, but a person of low status);
Fourth, listen to women;
Five, do not believe in destiny;
6. Don’t focus on offering sacrifices to heaven.
About Emperor Xin, also known as King Zhou in later generations.
Everyone agrees and everyone has their own opinion.
A great man once said: It is wrong to regard King Zhou, Qin Shihuang, and Cao Cao as bad guys. In fact, King Zhou was a very capable man who was capable of both literary and military work. He unified the southeast and unified Dongyi and the plains.
It is meritorious in history.
The late sage Confucius also spoke out to rectify Emperor Xin’s name.
Confucius said: If a gentleman lives in the lower class, all the evil in the world will end up there.
Of course, some people in later generations said that Confucius was a descendant of Emperor Xin, so he wanted to rectify his ancestor's name without conscience. Whether this matter is true or not, I will not argue.
Here, I will only briefly mention the first and last two of the six crimes against Emperor Xin after Zhou destroyed Shang.
Alcoholism and debauchery: It is clearly written in the history books that Emperor Xin only had three sons, and Xibo Hou Jichang was known as a hundred sons. There are seventeen clearly recorded.
If you don’t believe in destiny, you don’t pay much attention to worshiping heaven: The sacrifices of Shang Dynasty were for one’s ancestors and one’s own gods. The sacrifices starting from Zhou Dynasty were sacrifices to heaven. Emperor Xin did not worship heaven when he offered sacrifices to his ancestors.
By the way, the status of women in the Shang Dynasty was not low, and there were even clear records in history books of instances of women serving as commanders in the Shang Dynasty.
Since the Zhou Dynasty, the status of women has plummeted, and they have begun to become the appendages of men.
But for the princes and princes of the Great Tomorrow at this moment.
They just wondered what the relationship between the death of Shang and the Little Ice Age was.
"The Shang and Zhou dynasties were in the first Little Ice Age after the Holocene Great Warm Period."
…………(beginning)…………
Lutai.
The flame swallowed up everything, but it could not swallow up Yin Shou's unwillingness.
Since he came to the throne, he has expanded territory, opposed theocracy, broken the hereditary tradition of the nobility, and promoted people from the bottom who are truly useful to the country.
But in the end, we got this ending that turned everyone against us.
But those so-called people, under the words of the princes from various places, still naively thought that it was themselves, the king, who made them hungry.
I never imagined this day.
The Huan River flows three times a day; when it reaches the Yin and Zhou Dynasties, the three rivers dry up; the Gu Mountain collapses and the Boluo River dries up.
"The thief wants to destroy the lonely merchant."
"I only hate that my power cannot destroy the sky and kill the gods."
He raised his head slightly and stared at the sky. Yin Shou smiled, laughed, and laughed wildly.
"What a lonely businessman!"
"The lonely big businessman."
"Dashang..."
"Dead."
Yin Shou took one last look at the scepter in his hand and threw it into the sea of fire.
The next moment, the flames engulfed everything.
…………(stop)…………
Freeze the screen.
Ji Boying glanced at the group of frowning emperors and princes.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were still on Di Xin, who had just been swallowed up by the flames.
