"Book of Xia" says: Fainting, Mo, thieves, and killing are the punishments of Gaotao.
Qin, Han, and Shang were all prosperous dynasties, and none of them died due to corruption. Looking at the palaces of the Ming Dynasty, there are signs of corruption everywhere. The Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty loved money, the concubines in the harem loved money, and even the slaves also loved money. Everyone is a merchant. During the Jiajing period, official selection was a business, and official positions were clearly priced. Above the court, only the emperor was not a merchant. Now the emperor is a merchant. In the court, moths breed, and the country is in danger.
Although Concubine Zheng ordered someone to open the gate of Jingyang Palace, which was exactly what Meng Xia expected. Meng Xia should have been happy, but she was not happy at all. She glared at Eunuch Liu angrily and cursed in her heart: When merchants are in power, goods and wealth will flow, and the mountains and rivers will be broken.
Meng Xia is not a courtier, and there is no talk of strategy, power, or loyalty. She has no loyalty or ambition. She is just a humble and inconspicuous ordinary citizen of the Ming Dynasty. When she realizes that the Ming Dynasty is in danger and lifeless, her heart is inevitably sad, and sadness is sad. But for the common people, continuing to live is the most important thing. Dynasties change, and destiny cannot be violated. What changes is the dynasty, but the people remain the same.
Meng Xia secretly laughed at himself: It is sad that wherever the Qin and Han Dynasties traveled, thousands of palaces and palaces were turned into dirt; when they prospered, the people suffered; when they died, the people suffered; the emperor changed, the dynasty changed, the mountains and rivers inside and outside, the ancient road of Tongguan, the people and the people remained the same. The rise and fall of dynasties, the replacement of old and new, what does it have to do with me?
