Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

In this palace, made by carefully selected imperial chefs from all over the country, chili has become a fine art, with various ways of eating, pleasing the emperor who likes spicy food.

This breakfast is naturally inseparable from peppers, but the emperor doesn't like extravagance and waste, so the meal is also different from the dozens of meals in the previous Ming Dynasty. One requirement is enough.

A bowl of seemingly simple noodles in clear soup and a plate of hot sauce is the emperor's breakfast.

About tea time, the emperor finished his breakfast and took a short rest. The emperor's attention was once again placed on these memorials.

The memorial book was opened, the pen was swaying again, and the emperor seemed to be immersed in state affairs again.

Time passed bit by bit, and at some point, the pen in the emperor's hand was slowly put down, and the emperor slowly leaned on the back of the chair, looking at the memorial in his hand, but it was a little more inexplicable .

The sudden movement of the Son of Heaven also caused Er Dezi to glance subconsciously, but when he accidentally saw a certain term in the playbook, Er Dezi Tong Kong subconsciously shrank, and then quickly withdrew his gaze.

The emperor glanced at Er Dezi, but his gaze was fixed on the memorial again.

In the past dynasties, when the new dynasty overthrew the previous dynasty, one thing was inevitable, and that was to revise history!

The Ming eradicates the Yuan Dynasty, revises the history of the Yuan Dynasty, and usurps the Ming Dynasty forever, then... also needs to revise the history of the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that the so-called history books have long been a plaything in the hands of the rulers after a long period of evolution. They can be rubbed and tampered with at will. Under the victors and victors, it is difficult to see the true and false long history.

Of course, no matter what, the revision of the history of the Ming Dynasty is a problem that Daheng and Emperor Zhaowu must face.

After the town of Jinliao was pacified and returned to Beijing triumphantly, and the national fortune was about to stabilize, the emperor appointed Zongdao as the supervisor, the second assistant of the cabinet, Liu Qiyuan, and Huang Jin, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, as the president. And many folks in the Ming Dynasty acted as editors and compiled Ming history.

From the middle of the second year of Zhaowu to the end of the fifth year of Zhaowu, after more than three years, the Ming history seems to have been compiled?

The emperor's eyes were indifferent, but there was an unspeakable feeling in his heart. After a moment of silence, the emperor put down the notebook and knocked on the table.

Er Dezi was a little stunned, but when he saw the memorial book on the table, he immediately reacted, and quickly waved to the eunuch beside him, and several eunuchs hand in hand moved a large wooden box to the side of the emperor.

The wooden box was opened, and the neatly stacked books inside were also clearly revealed. Immediately after all the eunuchs were busy, stacks of books were neatly stacked on the table in front of the emperor.

What is also clearly visible is the neatly printed large characters on the cover of Ming History... the word "Ming History"...

"Benji of Taizu", "Benji of Chengzu", "Benji of Renzong"...

The names of each book were also clearly caught in the eyes of the emperor, and the emperor's gaze shifted, and finally, it was fixed on the cover of the book on the side of the table.

"The Chronicle of Emperor Zhaolie"...

The sun and the moon are shining brightly, we can learn from it...the heroic and agitated...

Therefore, the posthumous title is "Zhaolie"...

……

Chapter 622 History of the Ming Dynasty... This Chronicle

The emperor remembered that this posthumous title was drafted by him despite all the arguments.

After all, Emperor Chongzhen and him "colluded together", started one after another cleansing, and slaughtered countless people. In the eyes of the gentry and literati in the world, he is not a good emperor...

If he had succeeded in being assassinated and the Chongzhen Dynasty collapsed, his final posthumous title might be "Ai", "Jie"... such derogatory words.

"Zhaolie... Zhuang Lie..."

The emperor murmured softly, his eyes dim.

Emperor Zhuang Lie of Shi Zhi... Today's Emperor Zhao Lie...

Seventeen years of history, and several years of spring and autumn today, the young emperor left behind is only a change of spring and autumn...

The process is different, but the ending seems to be the same.

How are history books recorded?

How will future generations comment?

The Son of Heaven raised his hand, swept across the Benji of the emperors, and finally stopped on the "Zhaolie Benji".

At this moment, the emperor seldom hesitated, and after a while, the emperor held this "Zhaolie Benji" in his hands.

Although it is not as thick as the "Benji of Taizu" and "Benji of Chengzu", this "Benji of Zhaolie" is not too thin, and there are three volumes in total.

The emperor slowly opened Volume [-], as if opening the record from Zhao Lie's childhood, from the time when Zhao Lie was born, from childhood to feudal king... and then...

Fan Wang Weifu, alias Liu Xin, playing in the capital, meeting a small flag in brocade clothes... and then meeting... a hundred families in brocade clothes, each other's best friends... Tuning a hundred families in brocade clothes, Li Xiu, into Yongwei...

Apocalypse dies... King Xin ascends the throne, and deploys brave guards in the mourning hall of Apocalypse...

The past events are recorded on the paper, and they come into view, and at the same time, they also evoke the dusty memories in the emperor's mind for a long time. Looking at them, the memories in his mind... also emerge...

The Son of Heaven looked a little dazed, then...it was really an era of like-minded people, and Emperor Chongzhen's almost blind trust, although he was the soul of future generations, but...the belief that scholars die for their confidants is really unstoppable.

He remembered clearly that his original expectation was to assist the king, pacify the troubled times, create a generation of prosperity and prosperity, and leave a legacy behind.

Then, he relinquished his duties and devoted himself to pursuing his pinnacle of martial arts.

In this way, a lifetime is enough.

But an assassination seemed to completely shatter his expectation.

Afterwards, he thought again, to assist the young emperor, to make a decision in the country, he had naively thought that when the young emperor took charge, he would return the rights to the young emperor step by step.

Can……

What a trick of good fortune...

Returning from the Southern Expedition and the Northern War, what he got in return was not the welcome of the government and the opposition, but the naked murderous intent.

Once the color of the mountains and rivers changed, blood should have flowed for thousands of miles, but he only killed the chief culprit, and did not implicate other courtiers at all, but what he got in exchange was the unhesitating betrayal under the sky.

It was precisely because of this that he completely lost all trust and tolerance towards civil servants and gentry.

Thoughts flowed, the emperor's eyes once again fixed on the book "Zhaolie Benji".

When the emperor collapses, the Marquis of Zhenbei returns triumphantly. He rides on a fast horse and enters the palace. The emperor canonizes a general with meritorious service, and leaves an edict to the Duke of Qin to assist the government...Emperor collapses, the young emperor succeeds, reign name Jingwu...

The last volume was slowly closed, and the eyes of the emperor also moved on the table, and finally fixed on the "Jingwu Benji", which was obviously different from other emperors' Benji. Although the Ming Dynasty died, the emperor did not collapse. This volume This chapter, obviously, has yet to be compiled.

Even so, the thickness of the volumes of the Jingwu Benji is significantly thicker than that of the Zhaolie Benji.

Obviously, there have been too many things in these years.

From Duke Qin assisting the government, the young emperor ascended the throne, and then... the overwhelming financial problems were fully revealed.

However, after successive changes in the Chongzhen Dynasty, the foundation of Ming Dynasty's rule has been chaotic, and the young emperor, as well as his military assistant, can be said to have nothing but the support of hundreds of thousands of troops.

It can be said that there is no possibility of reforming fiscal and taxation at all. Therefore, in order to reform fiscal and taxation, we must first strengthen the foundation and sharpen the blade.

Therefore, the military reform came out, and then...the world was in chaos!

Monan Mongolia, Mobei Lin Danhan, the only soldier of the Ming Dynasty outside Shanhaiguan... Liao Town, and Ming's confidant's big trouble... Hou Jin.

And this is only external. Internally, people in the court are unstable, civil and military hostility, natural disasters in the north, civil unrest, and corruption in the south of the Yangtze River. It can be called a complete state of subjugation.

It is precisely because of this situation that he has no other power to draw or use except the army. He can only use various methods to further strengthen the army power he can control to suppress the corrupt situation.

In this way, the strengthening of the army will inevitably mean the weakening of Ming's other forces, bit by bit, until the military power piled up with great victories makes the imperial power's sense of crisis reach the extreme...

Poisoned wine bestows military honors, the Queen Mother raises a toast, and the dead men encircle... From then on, the color of the mountains and rivers changed.

A lot of thoughts flashed in his mind, and the emperor slowly flipped through the volumes of Jingwu Benji.

Obviously, if the history of the Ming Dynasty was revised by the Daheng Dynasty, if it had nothing to do with Daheng or his Emperor Zhaowu, it would still be fair. There are obviously a lot more spring and autumn brushwork.

The emperor seems to be able to imagine that these officials who are responsible for compiling the history of the Ming Dynasty racked their brains to think about how to beautify the usurper as much as possible, so that the history of the Ming Dynasty would not make him, the emperor, angry, and even please him .

With just a few strokes of the Spring and Autumn Period, the nature of these volumes of Jingwu Benji has been completely changed, and the Ming court and Ming imperial power have been shaped into evil...

When the last page of Jingwu Benji was read, the emperor slowly closed the book, his eyes were slightly closed, his seemingly calm face was filled with turmoil in his heart.

The past is vivid in my mind, but nothing compares to the pen like a knife in history, which is engraved in green history...

The sun, moon, mountains and rivers will always exist, and the great Ming will always exist...

After all, he has fulfilled this oath...

The hall was silent, and the maids and eunuchs who were waiting on the side subconsciously slowed down their breathing a lot, for fear of disturbing the emperor.

The Son of Heaven feigned sleep for a long time, and it seemed that he had just recovered from his thoughts, and opened his eyes, which were full of unspeakable complexity.

After a moment of silence, the Son of Heaven sat up abruptly, dipped his pen and ink, and wrote four characters on this volume of memorials that compiled the history of the Ming Dynasty.

That is...seek truth from facts!

Now that the eternal crimes have been borne, the blood of countless slaughters has also penetrated into the bone marrow.

If you are still covering up in this history book, playing with spring and autumn brushwork...

It's so ridiculous to be a bitch and set up a memorial archway!

Putting the pen down, the emperor leaned back in his chair again, and waved his hands weakly. Er Dezi immediately led the eunuchs to put these Ming history books back into the wooden box.

Then he put the memorial that the emperor had given instructions into his bosom, and after bowing to the emperor, he led all the eunuchs to leave the hall quickly.

In the palace, only the emperor sat alone on the dragon chair, leaving behind a sigh that touched the scene...

……

Chapter 623 The willfulness of rights

Shaanxi, Mizhi.

Since the reign of Mingqi, Shaanxi has been severely affected by disasters, and Mizhi was the first place to be in chaos.

It wasn't until the early years of Jingwu in the former Ming Dynasty that the emperor established Shaanxi and started a tough governance of the land of Shaanxi, and the land of Shaanxi gradually returned to peace.

Mizhi, which was almost deserted due to years of turmoil, was listed as an important relief site. Later, the plan for disaster relief was to repair the channel of the Wuding River passing through Mizhi and build a reservoir to increase its water storage capacity.

Of course, the most important thing is to use this project to absorb the victims of the disaster in Namizhi County and nearby counties and villages.

Since the start of the project, more than [-] victims have been absorbed. As time goes by, today's Mizhi territory also accommodates nearly [-] victims.

The fundamental rule of migration is that it is difficult to maintain self-sufficiency due to continuous natural disasters, which is the first choice for migration.

And Shaanxi, such as Fengxiang, Mizhi and other places, is naturally the place where the first batch of migration policies were implemented.

According to the relocation strategy formulated by the imperial court, nearly 90 disaster victims will be mobilized in Shaanxi and relocated to Liao Province.

Then, Shandong, Hebei and other places moved about 60 victims, also to Liao Province.

The tentative relocation strategy for the entire north is expected to relocate a total of 150 million disaster victims from various provinces to various places in Liao Province within three years.

And Mizhi, a place of corruption, was the first choice for relocation. Nearly [-] victims were relocated from Mizhi, and more than [-] were relocated from Fengxiang, making a total of nearly [-] to Liao Province.

It is the first batch of migration planning.

The entire temporary migration plan is completed. If the natural disaster continues, it is estimated that there will be nearly 200 million victims in the northern provinces who are unable to support themselves and need relief from the court.

And these victims were included in the infiltration policy set by the imperial court.

That is, the steady advancement and gradual development of the northwest land, as well as the infiltration and even recovery of the Hetao land.

All need the existence of the Han people to maintain the stability of the rule.

However, this policy is different from the fact that the migration policy is completely dominated by the court, but requires the cooperation of the military and the government, and even changes with military progress.

Of course, the current focus is naturally still this migration strategy.

After the imperial relocation policy was implemented, Mizhi, which had formed an inherent engineering order due to the engineering disaster relief policy, was already in chaos.

The primary purpose of engineering disaster relief is to gather victims and maintain stability and order.

In this way, each construction site is almost equivalent to each military camp, where the victims are gathered, divided into groups, and managed from top to bottom.

With such an order, as long as the supervision is effective and the court has sufficient money and food, the stability of the disaster-stricken area is naturally inevitable.

Now that the policy of migration is issued, this stable order will naturally be destroyed.

The uprooting of tens of thousands of people is obviously not an easy task.

At noon, the scorching sun hung high, and the Mizhi Wufixed Repair and Embankment Project camp that was almost completed, with the release of the migration policy, the well-organized order in the past has been broken.

The peace that had lasted for many years was broken, and most of the victims and ordinary people could not hide their panic.

For the people at the bottom, be it good governance or tyrannical governance, no matter what happens, once they are involved, they don't have the slightest right to choose.

He can only passively wait for the unknown fate to come, whether it is a blessing or a curse, he can only bump into it head-on.

The same is true for the migration strategy.

For the families of the victims in Mizhi, perhaps the only confidence is their trust in today's world. The troubled times have been pacified, and many years of relief have given them a way of life, and they often send censor officials to inspect and see how their lives are. , to seize and kill the officials who oppressed them...

But, no matter how much you trust, who is willing to leave home, and leave home so far away.

Even if one can live a good life in the fabled Liao Province, who knows what kind of accidents will happen during such a long journey?
