I smashed the emperor's daughter

Chapter 4 The Fork in History

Chapter 4 The Fork in History
With a bang, the little emperor jumped up directly, his almond eyes staring round; she never expected that the person in front of her who had been greatly favored by her would dare to add fuel to the flames regardless of his dignity.

Li Yuntang took a step forward without fear, leaned his elbows on the imperial case, and said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone: "After listening to me, the emperor, if you feel that what I said is unreasonable, it's not too late to deal with it."

The little emperor, who barely suppressed her anger, sat back on the dragon chair, and she made up her mind that even if the fake eunuch was eloquent, she would reward him with a royal stick to punish him for his crime of disrespect.

Li Yuntang didn't think too much, and when he saw the emperor's approval, he said:
"In the first year of Yongli, Zhang Xianzhong and Sun Kewang died together in the Phoenix Mountain of Xichong. Emperor Taizu retreated to Yunnan and Guizhou with the main force of the Western Army; Lian Ming resisted captives.

Does the emperor know how the Yongli emperor and ministers 'repaid' Taizu? "

"Of course I know," the little emperor angrily glanced at the handsome face in front of the imperial case, and then replied with a soft snort, "then what's wrong with Zhu Youlang naming Taizu the King of Han?"

"Of course it's extremely inappropriate," Li Yuntang replied angrily, with a hint of anger in his tone, "Conferring the title of King of Han is deliberately humiliating my emperor Taizu."

"Absurd!" The little emperor laughed angrily, "there is still a Hanwang Temple built for Emperor Taizu in the land of Yundian. According to you, the people in Yunnan who were favored by Taizu at that time also hated Taizu. Zu?"

Li Yuntang tried his best not to think about the insane operations of Nanming's rulers and ministers, and brought his thoughts back to the debate:
"Let's not say that the Taizu was granted the title of King of Han first, and the temple of King Han was built later; just say that the king of Han in the mouth of the Yundian slang means the king of the Han people. How could Yongli use this meaning?
That court that can only run away has ulterior motives! "

The little emperor didn't know why, so he stared straight at Li Yuntang, waiting for his next explanation, but he was suddenly asked:
"Does the emperor know that there was another King of Han in the Ming Dynasty?"

She didn't read much about the historical materials of the pre-Ming Dynasty, so she shook her head after thinking for a while, and Li Yuntang's voice sounded again:
"The king of Han was named Zhu Gaoxu. He was the second son of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di and the uncle of Ming Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji. He rebelled when Xuanzong succeeded to the throne; he was put down immediately and died."

At this point, Li Yuntang stopped, but the little emperor was not mean-spirited, and had already heard the implication:
So many princes did not choose, but they chose a prince of the Han Dynasty who was expelled due to rebellion. Isn't this clearly saying that the emperor Taizu was born as a bandit in the Western Army, and no matter what contribution he made to the Ming court, he could not erase the rebellion? The brand of a thief!

"The Taizu who took the initiative to please the Southern Ming court was ridiculed by him as the Lord of the Han Dynasty. It is indeed similar to the Empress Dowager Yi'an who named me Li Yu." Even though the little emperor was reluctant, he had to admit that Li Yuntang was right. reason.

Then she thought: If she had the absolute superiority of the Taizu's military strength, she would probably directly march eastward, "kill to Zhaoqing, and take the bird position"...

"Then the emperor, tell me, how did Taizu do it?"

The emperor was interrupted by Li Yuntang's words. After listening to the question, she blurted out an answer without thinking:
"Taizu Anran accepted the title of King of Han, and used Yongli's influence to win over the Zhongzhenying, who was also a rebel army, to subdue the gentry in Yunnan and Guizhou who were dissatisfied with the implementation of the camp system, and to integrate various forces in the Southwest against the Qing..."

"In this way, the Sichuan-Guihu-Jiangsu counterattack in the sixth year of Yongli was just now!"

Li Yuntang suddenly raised his voice eight tunes, took over from the emperor, and continued:
"Forcing Kong Youde to death, taking Hunan and Guangxi, killing Nikan, and recovering Hubei and Jiangxi!

Liu Wenxiu, who was in a precarious situation in Shu, also used the method of besieging three ques and one, forcing Wu Sangui to abandon Baoning and return to Hanzhong, and the whole of Sichuan was finally recovered.

Even Zhang Huangyan and the Zheng family in the sea took advantage of this opportunity to contribute to charitable activities, turning Jiangnan and Fujian and Guangdong upside down. "

The more Li Yuntang spoke, the more excited he became, he bypassed the royal case and walked in front of the emperor, grasping the sun and moon embroidered on the emperor's shoulders with both hands, his expression was agitated, and the heat generated by his words even enveloped the emperor's face:
"Two famous kings, one ruled the world, drove out the Eastern captives, and helped the world and the people!
Relying on the unworldly merit of restoring the Han family's land, the King of Han accepted Na Zhu Youlang's Zen throne with the support of the officials and the people, and became the Taizu Wu Emperor who created the 150-year foundation of the Han Dynasty!

Now, the world only knows that the King of Han is an indomitable hero who has restored the Han Family’s orthodoxy, and the traitor who wanted to usurp his nephew’s throne has long been buried in the ashes of the historical records; I don't know that there is such a person, isn't it the best proof of this point? "

"How can it be compared!" Although the little emperor nodded from time to time, he didn't fully agree, "It's obvious that Zhu Gaoxu is not very famous in the first place!"

"My lord, in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Gaoxu is not only a household name, but also a household name; it is precisely because the Taizu's name covers the sun and the moon that he appears to be unknown." Seeing that the emperor was about to run out of words, Li Yuntang He chased after the victory, "How can the emperor reverse cause and effect?"

The little emperor was at a loss for words, and was silent for a while before speaking:
"The times make heroes, and the Ming Dynasty is in chaos, so Taizu can do a lot; now that the world is in peace, even if I can keep the foundation of my ancestors, the name behind me may not be able to overshadow the subjugated king who is proficient in poetry and prose, and understands rhythm. "

"That's a bad word!"

Li Yuntang rarely directly refuted the emperor's words, and spoke again before she could react:
"May I ask my lord, if the world is really peaceful, why did the late emperor risk almost all civil and military opposition to forcefully imitate the Thai and Western countries and bring about an earth-shaking innovation?

Why did the first emperor travel thousands of miles and spend hundreds of millions of dollars on an expedition to that tiny country of Toungoo?
Because the princes in the court are as stupid as pigs and dogs, and they are still lying in the dream of the heaven and the kingdom. Only the late emperor and a few people of insight have a clear understanding of the situation in the world.

They know that under the prosperous age, there is already a hidden crisis. If they don't be prepared for danger in times of peace, it will be too late when Xiyi knocks on the country's gate; Woe to Southwest!

Today's world is changing with each passing day, and opportunities are fleeting.

In this great change unseen in 3000 years, the emperor, as the emperor of the Han Dynasty with the title of heavenly constitution and an artifact in his body, is it his lifelong long-cherished wish to be the lord of success? "

"presumptuous!"

The little emperor suddenly exerted force on his shoulders, released Li Yuntang's hands, then got up and pushed the latter on the dragon chair, "Who do you think you are, what right do you have to talk to me like that!"

Li Yuntang didn't make any resistance at all, and let the emperor hold him down, as if he didn't hear the emperor's scolding, he continued what he just said:
"My great Han starts from the sea in the east, crosses the Congling Ridge in the west, reaches the shore of Baihaier Lake in the north, and straddles the borders of Burma and Vietnam in the south. There are more than [-] million people living in it. There is such a rich and rich place, but I don't think about it. Innovation will eventually be reduced to being slaughtered in the eyes of other countries..."

"I don't know the changes in the countries of Thailand and the West!

The more the little emperor listened, the more anxious she became, and she exerted force on her hand suddenly, wishing her nails could dig into Li Yuntang's shoulder; at the end, she swallowed his words in one gulp, and then confided:
"When the late emperor was there, he often exchanged letters with the masters of the Western countries such as Louis, George, Carlos, etc. Although we can't know everything about the reality of the country, we can still get a glimpse of it. My big man is indeed gradually lagging behind the Western countries.

But what's the use of knowing?The old emperor is arbitrary, and if he ends up in personal death, your father will also..."

Speaking of this, the little emperor thought about not touching Li Yuntang's sad things, so he said:
"Now that the government order does not come out of the Forbidden City, even if I want to implement a new policy, there is nothing I can do."

Enduring the pain in his shoulder, Li Yuntang forced himself to look relaxed, and teased: "The emperor acted like he didn't dare to think about it before."

"I think!" The little emperor replied very simply, without any hesitation in his eyes, and then asked:
"Then tell me, I am living in the Forbidden City, how can I rule the world and make all nations dress under my crown?"

Seeing the success of the aggressive method, Li Yuntang began to cherish words like gold, and only said one word: "Forbearance."

Tolerate?
After being stunned for a while, the little emperor realized that he wanted her to accept the name Li Yu. After thinking for a while, he finally agreed:
"Okay, I have received this name, and then."

Currently, there is no more.Li Yuntang thought to himself.

He had only traveled for a few days, and these remarks almost used up the memory of the original owner and the recent knowledge of history.

Therefore, Li Yuntang could only explain for himself first:
"The forces in the court are different, and the struggle is turbulent. If I give advice without a deep understanding, I will be suspected of dealing with and misleading the emperor. Therefore, we should first look forward to it and analyze it based on the facts; we should not jump to conclusions. .”

"Okay, in the morning court tomorrow, you will replace Jing Yunhai to serve me, and I will let you know about the memorials presented by the courtiers in the future; if a few months later, you still only talk empty words like you do now, and have some useful suggestions I can't bring it up——

Then the crime of bullying the emperor and today's crime of disrespect will be punished together, and go to An Le Tang to eat ashes for half a year! "

"Thank you, my lord!"

Not only did Li Yuntang not panic, but he was overjoyed that Jing Yunhai was the emperor's childhood companion and the person he trusted the most.

The little emperor's willingness to change people means that today's rhetoric has successfully influenced her concept.

 All the names of people, places, and countries after 1800 that appear in this book have nothing to do with reality, so please do not take them for granted.Any similarity is purely coincidental.

  Hereby declare!
