Chapter 156 What the monk touches, but I can’t touch?

Everyone is conscientious and will definitely not make things up!

If not, then hell.

This kind of thing will definitely be fabricated.

Driven by profit, there is nothing these unscrupulous guys can do.

Five hundred strings!

A few dozen strings would be enough for them to bribe some of the target people's fellow villagers to make up stories. A hundred strings would be enough to bribe a bunch of these gangsters and then together they would make up an unofficial history about how everyone would win money. This is the Hongwu Dynasty, not Wan Wan's.

In the past dynasties, most of the local people were unruly people who crawled out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Those aristocratic families could not control the situation. The aristocratic families that really had the ability to control the place had long been eliminated by Zhu Yuanzhang. Therefore, as long as the local unruly people have money to make, they will never

If there is any burden, of course it must be exposed. It’s okay if you don’t make it up...

Uh, why are you editing?

I obviously listened to what my grandfather said, and of course what my grandfather said is right.

As for asking my grandfather to testify?

He has been dead for more than ten years. If you have the ability, go and prove it!

But this has nothing to do with Yang Feng. So what if what he records is forged by these unscrupulous people? What is true and false, false and true, these are all gone in the past. Ambassador Yang is just out of personal curiosity and it is purely private.

Hobby is not an officially recorded history. Even if it is really given to a great Confucian ancestor, he has collected some anecdotes that are not recognized by him...

Then just collect it.

There are many anecdotes and unofficial histories, but none of them are short of Yang Feng's.

Those literati’s notebooks even contain fantasy anecdotes!

They can record fantasy and unofficial histories, add ghost stories to a famous official, and will not be responsible for the truth or falsehoods. Why can't Ambassador Yang record some unofficial histories that are different from what his descendants said? Even the imperial censor can hear about it.

Why can’t Ambassador Yang get wind of the scandal?

Private act!

It's purely a private act!

No need to be responsible for authenticity!

Besides, this is the usual method used by Confucian scholars to make certain people look bad.

Why, the monk touched it but I couldn’t?

"Your Highness, we are indeed not here to settle anything.

It's about letting future generations remember what should be remembered.

Everything that happened back then is indeed in the past.

However, it cannot be covered up, let alone annihilated in history. It is real and should not be forgotten. We had a saying at that time that forgetting history means betrayal, betrayal of conscience, and betrayal of those true loyal ministers and righteous men. His Majesty the Emperor imprisoned

Liu Mengyan, Huang Wanshi and other families demoted the Pu Shougeng family to a low status. These are enough to set an example for generations to come, but were they the only ones back then?

Look at these names.

Qian Shuoyou, the prefect of Pingjiang, presented the city to surrender, Wang Jiweng, the envoy to Fujian, presented Hu Yuan with pictures and books as his internal response, and Zhao Mengchuan, the envoy to the coast, knew Qingyuan Prefecture.

These are all high-ranking officials and dignitaries.

Zhao Mengchuan was still a member of the clan.

And what did they get in exchange for betraying the Zhao family and surrendering?

Wang Jiweng's son Wang Duzhong served as Hu Yuan's minister, and Kublai Khan granted him 8,000 acres of land at one time.

If the traitors all have rich descendants, how can those who die in peace rest in peace?

Indeed, a hundred years have passed, and the Ming Dynasty is not the Song Dynasty. It has no obligation to punish the traitors for the Zhao family, but at least let the people know and let future generations remember their names. Instead of letting their descendants who inherit Confucianism,

They use selfish motives to beautify their actions, cover up their despicableness, and even turn traitors into loyalties, allowing future generations to forget the truth. The most powerful weapon in the hands of these Confucian families is the pen in their hands. You have to understand that the history we see now is not true.

history, but a history described in words.

It is the so-called history that the people who wrote history let us know.

Whoever masters this pen will master the ability to influence the cognition of future generations.

I have mastered this pen.

I can turn loyal ministers into treacherous ministers, and treacherous ministers into loyal ministers. If I master this pen, I can turn Qin Hui into a loyal minister who takes the overall situation into consideration and has foresight for the country and the people, and turn Yue Wumu into an ambitious warlord.

Then when my distorted history is passed down from generation to generation and no one remembers the real history after a hundred years, people will believe that Qin Hui was a loyal minister and Yue Wumu was a warlord.

And now this pen is in the hands of those Confucian scholars.

And how many of those Confucian scholars are the descendants of these rebellious ministers? Many of the people who died in the festival had no descendants left behind. What they took away from the cliffs and mountains and seas was the vast majority of the moral and loyal people in the Song Dynasty, and even if not all of them survived,

There are also a large number of people who betrayed the Zhao family. They had power and wealth in Hu Yuan, so it was easy to continue their family and the knowledge passed down by their family. When the Ming Dynasty was established, their descendants could easily become Jinshi by taking the imperial examination.

.So they became a family of officials in the Ming Dynasty, continued to master this pen, and continued to record the so-called history they wanted to let future generations know.

Isn't it terrible?

The history we know is not history, but the history that others have fed into our minds.

They govern our perceptions."

Yang Feng bewitched the emperor's grandson.

His harvest is still very rich. There are already dozens of people in the Erchen Lu. After all, there are many records in the official history books. However, his 500 Guan is to find out the situation of his descendants, so I only gave him a few names.

It's of no use, the most you can get is a few dozen strings.

If you want to get 500 guan, you still have to keep digging.

Dig deep.

Dig up all the descendants of these people, compile the records of Erchen into a book, and give them to schools all over the country for free.

"So the imperial court wants to master this pen?"

The emperor's grandson said with great awareness.

"Then who will form the imperial court? Isn't it the same as Confucian scholars?

Aren’t the historical results of Confucianism the same?

The History of the Yuan Dynasty was compiled by Song Lian.

Tuo Tuo is exaggerated as if Tuo Tuo is immortal and the Yuan Dynasty is immortal, but in fact the real reason is that Song Lian’s teacher is named Wu Lai, Wu Lai’s father is Wu Zhifang, and Wu Zhifang’s student is named Tuo Tuo.

Yuan's hope lies. But in fact, it was him who did all the banknote changes and the opening of rivers that finally ignited the chaos in Hu Yuan's world. As for the defeat of the siege of Gaoyou, it only proved that he did not understand military affairs at all, and he had never been involved in military affairs, including in the Western Regions.

Four hundred thousand troops were raised from all over the country, and the last person to do this was Fu Jian. The real reason for Hu Yuan's demise was that a conquering power lost its ability to rule due to the weakening of its military force after a long period of ease.

The Red Turban Army penetrated the entire north!

Even the top was burned.

Is this still the invincible Mongolian cavalry back then?

A group of farmers with no backup were driven thousands of miles from Shandong to Henan to Hebei to Shanxi and then all the way to North Korea?

Even if they could not stop the Mongolian cavalry, what would happen if they gave Hu Yuan ten Tuituo? How many Mongolians would fight for Hu Yuan later? Is Chen Youding a Mongolian? Is Li Siqi a Mongolian? Is Zhang Liangbi a Mongolian?

Really? When more than half of Hu Yuan’s defenders were Han Chinese, what basis did they, a conquering power, have for their rule?”

Yang Feng said.

The fundamental reason why Tuotuo was praised by Yuanshi is that simple.

He is a student of Wu Zhifang.

Wu Zhifang's son was named Wu Lai, and he was the teacher of Song Lian, the editor-in-chief of the History of the Yuan Dynasty. Confucian scholars only praised the virtuous ministers they had trained, but Tuotuo himself was actually a typical example of great ambition and talent, a bit like Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty.

He actually accelerated the demise of the Yuan Dynasty.

Including the subsequent defeat of the siege of Gaoyou, it was not because he was captured. It was simply Zhang Shicheng's persistence that lasted too long, which led to the complete collapse of the Yuan Dynasty's finances. The reason why the Yuan Dynasty collapsed in three months was because he mobilized too many troops.

.As for why the 400,000 allied forces of various ethnic groups could not open a Gaoyou city in three months, Fu Jian had already told him this. If you put together a bunch of conquered ethnic groups and cannot fight an overwhelming battle, the result will be their own collapse.

.Do the allied forces summoned from the Western Regions, Tubo, Goryeo, etc. hope that the Yuan army will win? What they really hope is that the Yuan army will be defeated! Only if the Yuan army is defeated can the people behind them have a chance to get rid of slavery.

I don’t even understand this, the only thing that can prove it is that I am stupid!

Then he gathered so many conquered peoples with evil intentions and sincerely showed them the weakness of the Yuan Dynasty, telling them that we Mongols are now so weak that we cannot even conquer a city.

Tell them without reservation that the Mongolian cavalry that once suppressed everything has been abolished.

Not even the salt seller can be beaten.

Even the rebellious peasants could not be suppressed.

At this time, of course those guys with evil intentions are happily adding insult to injury?

Otherwise, what if you know your shame and then become brave, and everyone enthusiastically rushes to be the first to put down the rebels for the Yuan Dynasty?

Why?
