[A 300,000-character short story. Welcome!]
Zhu Yuanzhang was heartbroken.
His beloved eldest son, Zhu Biao, had died in the prime of his life.
But just as he was agonizing over who should inherit the throne, a sky screen appeared at the funeral, and his Biao had manifested himself!
[Start with a bowl, end with an empire!]
[The Ming Dynasty founded by Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang had the most legitimate claim to the Mandate of Heaven! The emperor defended the borders himself; the dynasty stood unbowed, with an iron backbone!]
Zhu Yuanzhang’s eyes brimmed with tears. He was just about to ask about his descendants in later generations…
[And yet! It was also the most absurd dynasty in Chinese history!]
[There were emperors who cultivated immortality, slacked off, worked as carpenters, went abroad and begged to be let back in, or turned around and killed their own officials. The emperors were a motley crew.]
[Secret agents filled the streets, the million-strong imperial clan grew fat, silver piled up like mountains, and the court was flat broke! In the end, the emperor hanged himself, and the empire was handed over to foreigners, gift-wrapped!]
[Of the sixteen Ming emperors, who was based and who was cringe?]
[Who was responsible for the rise and fall of the empire?]
[Now, let’s take a detailed look at the Ming emperors’ lives and accomplishments, and let everyone judge who was based and who was cringe!]
The fifteen Ming emperors watching together across a century: Take a detailed look at what? My life?
The lords and ministers, commoners and onlookers joining the discussion: Judge what about our emperor? Whether he’s based or cringe?
This should be fun!
Zhu Yuanzhang: I don’t dare open my eyes. I hope it’s just my imagination.

At the Yongle court.
Zhu Di was uneasy. “Father’s watching me seize the throne in the Jingnan Campaign. He must think I’m a total failure, right…?”
Would the words “illegitimate seizure of the throne” remain a lifelong stain?
Then he saw:
[He rode into Nanjing to quell the rebellion, then launched five campaigns north to shake the wilderness!]
[Zhu Di, an emperor for the ages who ushered in a golden age, taught us through personal experience:
When the emperor suspects you’re going to rebel, you’d better actually rebel! :)]
Zhu Di: Oh ho! QVQ
The sky-screen poll used real-name comments.
Zhu Di: Father, for this vote… are you voting based or cringe?

Medical student Huo Sheng made it through college and graduate school. After graduating, he worked on the front lines, fought his way to owning a home and a car and saving a million yuan, and looked forward to doing nothing but lying flat.
Then… he died from overwork.
The good news: Huo Sheng didn’t die. He transmigrated into the body of a young scholar who’d also worked himself to death :)
The bad news: Huo Sheng arrived in his own body, in an impoverished ancient world, and both his parents had just died :(
He knew nothing about the world he’d landed in, and the System had gone dormant after bringing him across time and space.
Huo Sheng: I’m tired. Just destroy the world!
*
But people have to keep living. Looking at the mountain before him, Huo Sheng squeezed his sturdy arm.
Live off the mountain. Decision made!
[Happily QAQ]
*
In the mountains, he found bamboo-stream fish and shrimp, pine nuts, walnuts, wood ear mushrooms, bamboo fungus, and other food. With the library that came with the System, too…
Huo Sheng: Isn’t this exactly the pastoral life I’ve always wanted?
Smelling flowers, listening to birds, cooking delicious food, building a house, raising pigs and ducks, and occasionally inventing little things to improve his life, Huo Sheng was having the time of his life!
Huo Sheng was truly happy.
[Happy -v-]
As for eventually discovering that this world was the setting of a novel he’d once glanced at, Huo Sheng didn’t care in the slightest.
Making more tasty food was much more practical.
*
A lot of people were reborn, and they headed for a small mountain village at the first opportunity.
In their previous life, King Qin had only succeeded in his coup because he’d met a reclusive scholar.
If they could meet him before King Qin did…
Huo Sheng had been finding people in the woods lately. They always did strange things.
But that was fine. He wanted to build a big wooden mansion and was short a few pairs of hands. He’d just treat them as free labor *^▽^*
Mountain foraging X farming X light infrastructure building X a System like a friend X countering the reborn X a touch of Di Hua syndrome
[This is mainly about the protagonist’s leisurely ancient farming life, so relaxed it’ll make overworked people weep with envy. He’ll take his time using the skills he has to live a comfortable, wonderful life (dreamy.JPG).]

He Wenlin had just passed the imperial examinations and become the top scholar. But when he woke up, he found himself in a new era.
It was the 1970s, a time of economic stagnation and cultural desolation.
And beside him was a group of younger siblings crying to be fed…
He Wenlin: “…” Damn this wretched heaven!
Looking at the four children beside him, their eyes full of fear that he would abandon them, He Wenlin reluctantly accepted the situation.
“As long as I have a bite to eat, you won’t go hungry. Come on, let’s sift the chili, pound the spices, and drink the preserved-rice wine!”
*
The He family had suffered a sudden disaster. Their father was dead, their mother was gone, and the eldest brother was secretly planning to sell his four younger siblings for money so he could get a job in the city.
Just as the three younger siblings were preparing to accept their miserable fate, the unruly youngest He brother secretly tripped his drunken eldest brother with a rope, intending to tie him up like a dumpling!
Halfway through tying him up, the man who’d been passed out suddenly woke.
But they soon realized that this man wasn’t the same as before! He tore a huge hole in their chaotic life and changed everything.
1. Inspired by combining imperial examination stories with period novels.
Theme: May China prosper forever!
Let me tell you my own opinion. I like to read this kind of historical live-streaming articles. First, I can see different interpretations from different people's perspectives, and I can also discover some unknown or ignored details. Second, I hope that by predicting the future in advance, I can make up for many regrets that originally existed in history. Third, I hope to see the sparks of the collision of views and characters from different periods.
To be honest, it's a bit awkward.
After writing Judy's plot, I learned about the subsequent history and found that none of the subsequent emperors could reach the heights of Zhu Di, or even have the ability to maintain Yongle's policies. It is really regrettable, and there is a feeling that Ming cannot be saved.
Everyone, the common people, students taking the imperial examinations, big and small officials, scholar-bureaucrats, and clans are all addicted to the sense of stability brought by the land, and want to lazily plunder the land of China, collect gold and silver, and become big landlords.
Ming Dynasty, which emperor could have the courage of Yongle to resist the encirclement and suppression by the clan, scholar-bureaucrats, and landlords, break through the limitations of the small peasant mentality, and lead China to soar to the sky?
[] King Yan, who has the education of daddy's love, is really happy forever this time [][][]
The Ming Dynasty should shine in all directions like the sun [Love Eyes] As for how it shines, then don't worry about it [Milk Tea]
But Judy will give overtime pay and various high-temperature subsidies, medical benefits and equipment.
In the final analysis, he was still coerced by the scholar-bureaucrats and trapped in Confucian teachings. Confucianism really does more harm the further you get to the back
The reason is that the history of the Ming Dynasty is presented in an interesting form, and I quite admire Zhu Di.
Look at the Ming Dynasty, but don't blindly pursue it. The Ming Dynasty had areas of progress and areas of backwardness. There has been too much slander against the Ming Dynasty in the past. How could the Ming Dynasty, as the last Han dynasty, be as slanderous as the Manchu and Qing dynasties? I just want to see what the current cultural trend is like
The Hongzhi ZTE is essentially inferior to the ZTE of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, and to be honest, this ZTE did not resolve any conflicts. It feels like it was promoted by the literati when they saw such a talkative monarch. Which ZTE was the burial of the late emperor by the emperor after his death? He couldn't even pay for it, and the moment after his death, there was a military defeat on the border to bid farewell to the late emperor. It clearly shows that Ming Xiaozong had big military and economic problems, and there were also acute domestic conflicts. A large amount of land was awarded to the Ming Dynasty clan, resulting in a lack of money in the national treasury, and the bottom class was very difficult.
Don't believe in the history of the Ming Dynasty. Many of them are false. The posthumous title of Xiaozong in the Ming Dynasty is very telling. Xiaozong means that there is nothing but filial piety. It neither alleviates domestic conflicts nor attacks foreign enemies. It also allows the courtiers to be soft-hearted. Naturally, you are good to me and you are good to the courtiers. But how can such things in government affairs be completely obeyed by the ministers? The east wind has always prevailed over the west wind, and the west wind has prevailed over the east wind. To put it bluntly, of course the courtiers have to boast a lot when they see such an easy-to-manipulate emperor. The last one to do this was Song Renzong, look at what he did.
And that relative, I really can't say, you like your brother-in-law, but you don't look at what's going on with your two brothers-in-law. If you like them, why don't you teach them well and let them out to harm the people and wipe their butts?
In short, teacher, don't believe the good words the scholar-bureaucrat says, look at what he actually did.
But it seemed that Yongle was stronger, and it also benefited King Yan, allowing him to cross the river by touching Emperor Yongle.
