Chapter 71 The Emperor’s Weird Nickname 2
  [No. 10 Zhao Kuangyin, nicknamed Fatty Zhao Dahei.

Zhao Da is the eldest because of the two brothers Zhao Kuangyin.

The black fat man came from the portrait of Taizu that was handed down. Zhao Kuangyin had dark skin and was slightly bloated. 】

"Zhao Kuangyin also has the nickname of Xiangbaer"

"The authenticity of Zhao Kuangyin's appearance needs to be verified. The ancient portraits are too different from the real person, and there is no reference."

"Zhao Kuangyin has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he has been traveling to fight all year round. It is hard to believe that he is a big fat man"

Zhao Kuangyin: I don’t like the nickname at all, it really doesn’t sound good, and I’m not a big black fat guy.

When he saw his portrait in the video, he expressed serious protest. The big dark fat man was not him at all. How could he look like this?
  He is obviously tall and mighty, with an upright look on his face, but how could he have such a vulgar appearance? I don't know who painted him so ugly.

"Come here, please invite some skilled painters to the palace."

He could not accept a portrait that vilified his image to be circulated in later generations, so he asked the painter to paint his tall and mighty figure so that future generations could admire him.

[The eleventh Zhao Guangyi, nicknamed the God of Cars of Gaoliang River.

After Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Guangyi, launched the Battle of Gaoliang River against the Khitans, he was defeated and escaped in a donkey cart, so he was called the God of Gaoliang River Chariots. 】

"After running all night, the donkey's butt was whipped into donkey skin and donkey hide gelatin"

"With an arrow stuck in his butt, he drove a donkey cart for more than a hundred kilometers. He is worthy of being the God of Sorghum River Carts."

Zhao Guangyi: It’s the God of Cars in Gaoliang River again. I can’t get past this.

He didn't understand why future generations would cling to this point.

It's just a defeat. There's no way anyone can be undefeated in a battle. Are you mocking him like this?

Throughout China's five thousand years of history, there have been so many emperors who have lost battles, so why catch him alone?

[The twelfth Zhao Gou, nicknamed Wanyan Jiu Mei.

Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, bowed his head to the Kingdom of Jin and became the "Lord of Jiangnan Kingdom" named by the Kingdom of Jin, so he was called Wanyan Gou.

Because she ranks ninth and is weak by nature, she is called Jiu Mei. 】

"Zhao Gou has no masculine qualities and does not look like a man"

"The Useless Song Dynasty, the Shameful History of the Chinese Nation"

Zhao Gou: Originally, Wanyan Gou was annoying enough, but now it’s better, even her gender has changed.

He also knew that the mistakes he had made in the past had led to his infamy.

However, he has changed his mind and fully supports Yue Fei in his fight against the Jin Dynasty.

In this case, it can always change history’s negative evaluation of him!

[The thirteenth Zhu Di, nicknamed Judy.

Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, had a nickname in English because of its homophonic pronunciation.

In addition, because the reign name is Yongle, netizens also chose the English version of Happy for the reign name. 】

"The emperor Zhu Di is still very good, and he can be called the emperor of the ages."

"Not to mention, this homophonic meme is quite fun, and it matches Zhu Di very well."

Zhu Di: I am an upright Han Chinese, and I don’t bother to take a foreigner’s name.

His name collided with a foreign name, and he was helpless. It was impossible to change his name!

[The fourteenth Zhu Qizhen, nicknamed the God of War of the Ming Dynasty, is a Mingbao sect, an overseas student from Wala, and is called the Son of Heaven.

Zhu Qizhen, Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, was the emperor with the most nicknames. These four nicknames all came from the Tumubao incident. 】

"When it comes to Mingbao Sect's achievements, they are unique throughout the ages. The two foreign students from the Song Dynasty must step aside."

"The emperor led the enemy to call his own city gate, which has never happened in ancient times"

Zhu Qizhen: These are all shame. I will work hard to regain my dignity.

He also knew that the mistakes he made when he was young would bring him notoriety. Therefore, after he regained the throne, he planned to cheer up, achieve something, and clear his reputation.

[The fifteenth Zhu Houcong, nicknamed Taoist Master.

Jiajing Emperor Ming Shizong Zhu Houcong was the eleventh emperor of the Ming Dynasty. During his reign, he did not go to court for more than 20 years. He was obsessed with cultivating immortals and asking questions, so he was called Taoist Master. 】

"Jiajing's main job is to cultivate immortality, and his side job is to be an emperor"

"Jiajing, Jiajing, in fact, every house is clean"

Zhu Houcong: Although I have not been in court for 20 years, everything in the court is under my control.

The reason why he is obsessed with Taoism and alchemy is not to achieve immortality.

After all, he also knows that there is no immortality in this world, and countless emperors from the previous dynasty have confirmed this.

He was addicted to Taoism because he was frail and sick. Refining alchemy and practicing Taoism can strengthen the body and prolong life.

Another reason is to control the power of the court through practicing Taoism and alchemy.

He was refining elixirs and cultivating Taoism in the harem, and the ministers in the court could not figure out his thoughts, so they did not dare to confront him.

[The 16th Zhu Youxiao, nicknamed Carpenter.

Zhu Youxiao, Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty, was the fifteenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He was devoted to carpentry all his life, so he was called the Carpenter Emperor. 】

"Emperor Tianqi was the last wise king of the Ming Dynasty. It's a pity that he died too early. If he lives for a few more decades, maybe the Ming Dynasty can be saved."

"Zhu Youxiao is a smart man and knows how to use Wei Zhongxian to check and balance the Donglin Party"

Zhu Youxiao: Making woodworking is very stress-relieving and it helps me relax.

The Ming Dynasty has reached the point where the sun is declining and there is no way to recover.

No matter what he did, he could not change the outcome of the Ming Dynasty's demise.

Instead of worrying that the situation in Ming Dynasty is getting worse day by day, it is better to do some carpentry work that he likes, at least it will prevent him from thinking about the bad things in court.

[The seventeenth Nurhaci, nicknamed Wild Boar Skin.

In Manchu, Nurhaci means wild boar skin. Because the Jurchen tribe belongs to a hunting nation, they usually use beasts of prey as the first choice when naming them. For example, Dorgon in Manchu means badger (huan). 】

Nurhaci: It was originally a normal nickname, but it was so humiliating to be called by you later generations.

The Jurchen tribe is a hunting people, so this name is normal and has no bad meaning.

Why did it become a curse word in the mouths of later generations?

[The 18th Kangxi, nicknamed Kang Mazi.

Emperor Kangxi, the ancestor of the Qing Dynasty, contracted smallpox when he was two years old. After recovering, he had pockmarks on his face, so he was called Kang Mazi. Because he had suffered from smallpox, he was chosen as his successor. 】

"Smallpox was a terminal disease in ancient times. Kang Mazi was so lucky that he didn't die even if he got smallpox."

Kangxi: I am destined by destiny and blessed by gods and Buddhas. How could I die of smallpox so easily?

Kang Mazi is just Kang Mazi. Although his nickname is not very pleasant, it is much nicer than the nicknames of other emperors. It is not bad, at least it is not insulting.

[The 19th Qianlong was nicknamed the Wealthy Flower in the World.

The flower of wealth in the world describes the taste of Emperor Qianlong.

Qianlong didn't like simplicity and elegance, and liked complicated and gorgeous things, which were a little vulgar, so he got this name. 】

"The Qianlong Seal Maniac, His Nickname Should Be Psoriasis"

"Qianlong's aesthetics are really average"

Qianlong: I like gorgeous things, so why are they vulgar? They are obviously beautiful.

The reason why he stamped those paintings and calligraphy was because they were exquisite works of art in the world and he liked them very much.

If these paintings were not approved by him, he would not be willing to stamp them!
  Besides, he is the Qing Emperor, and with his seal, these paintings and calligraphy will only become more precious.
