Tracing China: Through history, dialogue between ancient and modern

Chapter 258 Liu Bang was deflated for the first time

"Emperor Gaozu, why is there only tea on this banquet table?" Lin Feng asked intentionally as he sat in front of an empty table in the main hall of Changle Palace.

He is not very rare about snacks from 2000 years ago.

But the most basic way to entertain guests, shouldn't there be some snacks?
And it's the emperor's guest.

Such etiquette is too shabby.

"Little Lin, you have traveled from later generations, and you should have seen the current situation of the big man today. The frequent natural disasters in various places have made the people in this land of Kyushu miserable, hungry, and poorly clothed..."

"Currently, the imperial treasury can't make ends meet. To tell you the truth, I don't even have the money to pay officials' salaries."

"For the sake of the country and the community, I take the lead in saving food and clothing. On weekdays, only on major festivals will I enjoy some simple delicacies."

"It's really hard for a clever woman to cook without rice."

Liu Bang was complaining sadly, with snot and tears, as miserable as he could be, with extremely rich expressions, people who didn't know it thought it was true.

But, who would believe it?

In a majestic ancient palace, how many foods can't be made to entertain guests?What about acting?
Lin Feng turned his head, looked at this majestic palace that dared to build new, and felt emotional.

"Xiao Lin, you are so considerate and considerate. When the coming year comes, there will be a good harvest of spring grain and the treasury will be richer. When you come here next time, I swear, I will definitely set up a banquet for the most distinguished guests, so that you, a young man from later generations , enjoying the best wine and food in the Han Dynasty..."

Liu Bang said more and more vigorously, as long as you come again next time, no matter what flies in the sky, runs on the ground, or swims in the water, let you eat your full belch, you will never be treated badly.

The corner of Lin Feng's mouth twitched, Han Gaozu, when I was a three-year-old child, how could I draw big pancakes here to satisfy my hunger?
What about the audience?

I was also overwhelmed and amused by Han Gaozu's "excellent" acting skills, and many people made barrage comments.

"Hahaha, it's the first time I've seen the host deflated!"

"Han Gaozu, that is, cow..."

"If it weren't for my nine-year compulsory graduation, I would have believed it."

"However, Han Gaozu was also stingy. A descendant from 2000 years later didn't even have a plate of dim sum."

"Why don't you have money, because you want to build such a magnificent palace, so there's nothing wrong with it."

"If you can't even eat, why do you need to build a lot?"

"Didn't you hear? It's all because of Prime Minister Xiao He's bad idea, and it's all Xiao He's fault."

……

Lin Feng in the camera suddenly asked, "Grandfather Han, since the Great Qin wiped out the six kingdoms and unified the land of Kyushu, the history of ancient Chinese feudal civilization officially began. Since then, countless emperors and emperors have been born in more than 2000 years. There are hundreds of people, do you know where you can be ranked on the many "ranking lists of emperors and emperors"?"

As soon as this word comes out.

Liu Bang suddenly became interested, his small eyes were shining with golden light, and he said politely, "Where is my rank?"

Pretending to be serious!
When Liu Bang lived, only one Emperor Shihuang was known.

He knew nothing about the subsequent emperors.

of course.

Han Gaozu didn't care about the process, as long as there was a result.

Lin Feng also pretended to be serious and said, "Emperor Gao Zu, let this junior think about it carefully. This trip of this junior has traveled through more than 2000 years of history and spanned the long river of time and space. If there is no food, I'm afraid I won't be able to recover quickly."

Liu Bang, who was sitting opposite, became tangled in an instant.

He is a strategist with unparalleled wisdom, an extremely intelligent big shot, how could he not hear the meaning of Lin Feng's words?
no food...

can't recover...

Is this really true...

To be honest, Liu Bang didn't know the "traveling ability", so he couldn't tell whether what Lin Feng said was true or false.

"Come here, serve three-color cakes and five refreshments."

"What to look at, be quick."

"If I delay my reception of distinguished guests, I will kill you all."

Liu Bang turned outside, angrily ordered, and finally he was willing to spend some money to entertain the guests, and then asked cheerfully, "Xiao Lin, tell me quickly, in the thousands of years of Chinese history, my ranking, Among the many emperors, what rank can you rank in?"

Lin Feng didn't say it clearly, but asked instead, "Senior, where do you think your life's achievements can be ranked?"

Liu Bang pondered for a while, then said, "What about the follow-up history?"

Lin Feng said, "Senior, this is the history of the subsequent dynasty change."

He holds out his finger.

A light flew out from the fingertips.

Flying across the air, it suddenly penetrated into the center of Liu Bang's eyebrows and disappeared.

that light.

It hides the entire future history of China.

Liu Bang felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his expression fell into a huge shock and astonishment, and then he began to evaluate the historical dynasties and characters of the next 2000 years.

"Unexpectedly, after the Han Dynasty, there are so many powerful dynasties!"

"This Great Tang Dynasty is not bad. It is so powerful that it will allow all nations to come to the dynasty and achieve the throne of the Heavenly Kingdom."

"The Great Song Dynasty can also do it. The economy is so developed that the whole world can't match it."

"The Ming Dynasty is very strong, with a strong character, especially the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born worse than me. From being a poor beggar on the street, he advanced all the way, and finally rushed to the throne of the Ninth Five-Year. This person is incredible."

"But some dynasties are not satisfactory!"

"Look at this Jin Dynasty, the second generation is a foolish emperor who "why not eat minced meat". How can the country not be reduced? Worse than Hu Hai."

"For example, in the Sui Dynasty, the first generation of Yang Jian was a wise emperor, but his son Yang Guang was not good enough. He had made great achievements, but he just kept on messing around. He fought foreign wars all the year round and made big moves in the country. I really thought your court Is the treasury a cornucopia?"

"And the Yuan Dynasty? Unexpectedly, the nomadic regime was established in the south, isn't it nonsense?"

"Qing Dynasty? What is this group of people? One look at their so-called long-form and large-scale contributions to the country. It is absolutely nonsense. Is this the Qianlong of Shiquan old man? When he was in power, He Shen, the first corrupt official in history, appeared. The emperor's poems are completely inferior to my "Great Wind Song", but they are really shameless..."

"Cixi? There is such an old woman who is as poisonous as a snake and a scorpion?"

……

Han Gaozu commented on the later history word by word. As the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, he has the qualifications.

Suddenly.

Liu Bang changed the topic, and said with a proud smile:

"Looking at all the changing dynasties, the Han emperors are still the best."

"Let's say I started my business at the age of 48. I started as a commoner and finally reached the top. My opponent is still the mighty Great Qin and the overlord of Chu. With such achievements, even Zhu Yuanzhang should be inferior to him?"

"Look at the two emperors Wenjing, they are definitely two eternal emperors, what is the rule of Zhenguan, what is the prosperous age of eternal happiness, in front of the two emperors Wenjing, they are younger brothers..."

"There is also Liu Che, the Wu Emperor who is proud of Kyushu, an emperor who will not be born in a thousand years, and the absolute domineering Ninth Five-Year Lord. During his reign, he defeated the Huns and killed this group of aliens. With this achievement alone, even if Qin Shihuang is still alive, he still cannot reach the level of Emperor Wu Liu Che..."

"There is also Liu Xiu, who is very good. The weak can defeat the strong. I dare say that in the battle of Kunyang, even if the overlord of Chu is alive, he can't do better than Liu Xiu..."

Liu Bang, who was sitting on the main seat, spat and became more and more excited as he talked, with a beaming expression on his face.

Lin Feng slandered in his heart, "Emperor Gaozu, are you boasting here?"

How can you start a business from scratch, which is better than Zhu Yuanzhang who started with a bowl?

Why is the rule of Wenjing stronger than the rule of Zhenguan and the prosperous age of Yongle?

Why did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fail to achieve even Qin Shihuang's political achievements?
How come Liu Xiu's Kunyang battle couldn't even be done by Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu?

……

Emperor Gaozu, when you brag about your own emperor, when you praise the emperors of your old Liu family, you can't go too far!

but.

Liu Bang was still boasting that the queen was selling out, "Xiaolin, to be honest, looking at so many Chinese dynasties, the achievements of all the emperors of the old Liu family are said to be second. No one dares to say first, right?"

This last point is true.

The glory of the Han Dynasty.

Compared with other dynasties and dynasties, perhaps only the Tang Dynasty can compare with it, but it is still a bit behind.

However, Lin Feng still attacked and said, "Emperor Gao Zu, in terms of the ability to march and fight, you can't compare with Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, is there anything wrong with that?"

"Have!"

"I'm not convinced."

"Xiao Lin, why are you so reckless in making judgments?"

Liu Bang said stubbornly, "Since I started my business, I have been preparing for war every year, or I am on the way to war, and I have only failed once in my life. Zhu Yuanzhang is very strong, but he can be equal to me at most."

Lin Feng stared at the opposite side, Emperor Gaozu, don't you blush?
To know.

Looking at China's more than 2000 years of feudal history, among all the emperors, their ability has greatly increased.

Basically reached a consensus.

Li Shimin and Zhu Yuanzhang ranked first and second, this is absolutely an unshakable fact.

Lin Feng had no choice but to say, "If you were you, how would you compare with Li Shimin, General Tiance of the Tang Dynasty?"

This time, Liu Bang still had the cheek to say, "I and that kid from the Li family are not in the same era, so it's hard to compare their military capabilities in war."

This is not a good comparison?

Lin Feng dared to say that even if there were two Liu Bangs, or three Liu Bangs, even if you were tied together, you would not be able to fight against one Li Shimin in a war!

Later, Lin Feng said, "Emperor Gao Zu, do you think Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is stronger, or Emperor Qin Shihuang stronger?"

Liu Bang, "..."

Lin Feng said again, "Do you think Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu is more powerful, or the overlord of Chu who is as powerful as the mountains and the world is stronger?"

Liu Bang, "..."

After questioning, Liu Bang's face turned red, and he couldn't say any more "reasons" to refute.

at last.

Han Gaozu was deflated.
