[Turns Out I'm Shennong]
🍀 When will the good books return? I raise my cup to ask the heavens. I don't know what year it is in the world of web novels. I long to ride the wind home, but I'm afraid of unfinished books and toxic weeds; this reading slump is too much to bear. What use is trying every herb when the good stuff is nowhere to be found? 🌙 The moon turns past the tower, shines through the low window, and falls upon those still awake. Why should immortal herbs be left unfinished? People have joys and sorrows, par

Some Books I Think Are Pretty Good
I've been reading for six years. I'd say I've moved beyond the beginner stage and am now an intermediate reader. Here are some books I think are pretty good. I have no idea what's going on with the review process lately. I added a new book and it didn't pass review, then I found out one of the blurbs for an older recommendation was the problem. Anyway, hardly anyone looks at this list, so I'm done writing blurbs. Having to keep changing them is annoying.
A Little Book Bag With Absolutely No Standards
I actually use this list as a bookshelf. I add books I've finished or that haven't finished updating yet, then wait until they've built up enough chapters to binge. So I have no particular standards for what I collect here. I don't care about recommendations, favorites, or monthly ticket rankings. I just go by the book's appeal, its updates, and whether it has been abandoned. Anyway, everything on this list is something I've read, so if you find something you like, give it a try. The rest doesn'

Why do some people always repeatedly emphasize the so-called "civilian group" and "civilian group" when discussing the history of the Ming Dynasty, instead of using "landlord class" or other more precise names? In my opinion, this is essentially an extremely serious "sage-king tendency" among Ming Dynasty history enthusiasts. In short, the problem of the Ming Dynasty ultimately lies in the "civilian officials evading the emperor", which caused the wise and powerful emperor to die unexpectedly, which in fact caused the rapid decline of the Ming Dynasty in the middle and late period. The culmination of this kind of rhetoric is the "Tumubao Civilian Conspiracy Theory" and "Zhengde and Tianqi died of civilian murders". In recent years, this kind of speech has become more and more intense, and has successively formed a series of remarks such as "Jianwen collaborated with civilians to murder Hongwu", "Yongle died of civilian murder", "Renzong died of civilian murder", "Xuanzong died of civilian murder", "Hongzhi died of civilian murder", "Jiajing died of civilian murder", "Longqing died of civilian murder" and so on. This trend of thought developed into the circle of Song history, and there was an outrageous phenomenon that some people openly overturned the verdict of Song Huizong. When a phenomenon becomes extreme and diffuse, many of its problems will become apparent. In fact, if you take a closer look, you will understand that this is just a matter of first forming the understanding of "Holy Lord and Mingjun", and then incorporating them all one by one. In terms of specific argumentation logic, they cut the historical data wildly. The parts of the historical data that are conducive to my conclusion "cannot be changed by civil servants", and the parts of the historical data that are not conducive to my remarks are "the penmanship of the Spring and Autumn Period of civil servants has been tampered with." Therefore, under this logic, any debate is meaningless. Its logic is always closed loop, so we have no need to argue with civilian conspiracy theories. But it is very interesting to break out of their preset framework and analyze the logic behind this matter. Why do they emphasize that the monarchs of the Ming Dynasty were good and all the civil servants were bad? If we really oppose annexation from the perspective of the common people, then the emperors in all dynasties were representatives of the landlord class and an important promoter of land annexation. In the Ming Dynasty, the imperial estates reached 37,500 hectares during the Zhengde period. In the Qing Dynasty, the land enclosures for yard construction were even more terrifying. If we talk about destroying the imperial system, then whether the emperor is negligent or indiscriminate, it is also extremely harmful to the country. But in their context, the emperor, who was also a annexer of large households and a destroyer of people's livelihood, thought that his interests were consistent with those of the people at the bottom, and that the bad things were all civil servants' problems? In particular, the system of eunuchs and nobles, who are also extremely corrupt, has been largely whitewashed because of their greater reliance on imperial power, and they are considered to be the pillars of the country. What is this model of historical understanding of the Holy Lord and the Mingjun based on? The first is the understanding of "family and country as one" among the royal family. I find that many people actually cannot understand the difference between "the interests of the emperor" and "the interests of the country." It is taken for granted that the increase of imperial power means the increase of national power. A very typical example is the understanding of institutions such as "Shaofu" and "Huangzhuang". They feel that the more things in them, the better, and they do not care at all about the terrifying effects of the imperial power annexing resources. This innate belief that the emperor's interests represent the interests of the country and the interests of the people is very contagious, causing many people to ignore the fact that the emperor is the largest landlord and the largest spokesman for the landlord class. As a result, many people wrote, read, and read history and subconsciously sympathized with the emperor. In many interpretations, it seems as if the single-minded thieves suffered many unjust injustices, as if the emperor's life was not based on the exploitation of the people. Secondly, I think the white glove theory of corrupt officials is indispensable. I don't know if you have seen the distinction between clean and dirty at station b. Why is He Shen able to receive support from a large number of people? It's just because many people believe that Heshen amassed money for the emperor, and this theory believes that most corrupt officials are capable ministers, while most honest officials only talk. Therefore, the understanding emerged that capable ministers helped the emperor to do things, while wasteful and upright officials hindered the emperor from doing things. In fact, it further aggravated the paradigm of civil servants VS emperor. As for you saying that Heshen of the Qianlong Dynasty was the representative of the civil servants... Maybe they thought that only Ji Xiaolan (from movies and TV series) could be considered a civil servant. How can the Yandang and the Eunuch be civil servants?
(A brief discussion on the issue of the Academy) The author's choice of Prince Zhu Houzhao is indeed a node that can easily change the direction of the late Ming Dynasty.
There has always been a saying on the Internet: "The Ming Dynasty fell in Chongzhen, actually fell in Wanli, and first fell in Jiajing." Although there is a certain truth, it can be traced back according to various factors: Na Xianzong Wangzhuang Huangdian competed with the people for profit and accelerated land annexation; Xuan began to gradually let eunuchs interfere in the government affairs; Zhu Di spent the country's power on his five expeditions to Mobei and gave up the Hetao to feed tigers; Zhu Yuanzhang designed a relatively backward and crude national system from the beginning, allowing the imperial center to lose control of the national finances all year round. From this point of view, it can be said that the Ming Dynasty died in Hongwu. After all, affairs are always a process of destruction and rebirth. Such historical merits and demerits have their own comments. Let's just look at the nodes that changed the direction of history in the late Ming Dynasty. Prince Zhu Houzhao is indeed a good entry point, because you only need to work harder and sow seeds, leave an heir, and gently flap the butterfly wings, which can ostensibly make the history of the middle and late Ming Dynasty move in a completely different direction. But will this history really have a different ending? Perhaps without the arrogance of Jiajing, Wanli, Tianqi and Chongzhen, there would have been a rare period of ZTE rule in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. However, from the perspective of historical materialism, the limitations of the feudal dynasty itself have not been fundamentally changed. Land annexation has become more serious, military power continues to weaken, and the prosperity of folk handicrafts and commerce represented by the Jiangnan region The development spawned various parties from Zhejiang, Qi, Chu, Xuan and Kun to become active in the imperial court. They formed parties to compete for profits for their own interest groups. In addition, parties similar to the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party fought against each other. The increasingly difficult financial pressure was overwhelmed by various natural disasters such as Xiaoglacier. This would inevitably lead to the collapse of a feudal dynasty. These are fundamental issues that need to be solved urgently by the protagonist, so let's start with the officials' views on the academy issue in these chapters. One of the main points of the officials' rebuttal is that they do not want the imperial examination system to change too much. The limitations of the productivity and backward administrative efficiency of the times have made the eight-part essay form of the imperial examinations stricter and stricter the threshold for admission, which can be alleviated. Then, the main task is to make subtle adjustments to the direction of questions and answers in line with their own governance philosophy through the protagonists for each subject. This is used as a temporary basis for becoming an official. After being admitted as an official, they will study system knowledge in various fields for three years, such as official administration, water conservancy and agriculture, economics and law, medicine and military literature, and even science and technology, etc., And then prescribe the right medicine according to their respective expertise or ideals. The long-term layout of education gradually cultivates a new official and political system. This will be supplemented by reforms that address current shortcomings to solve many problems. In addition, the education of princes should also be a top priority in the future. Jiajing, Tianqi and Chongzhen were not able to receive adequate prince education. In this way, even if the descendants of the reform ceased to govern, they would not be so exaggerated that they would either blindly balance and detach themselves from affairs, or neglect the government and quit the government, or be self-willed and dignified. 50 Bachelors. Of course, the most important thing is to pass on the people-oriented concept, but this depends on how the protagonist changes the Ming Dynasty step by step in a world where capitalism is budding, and embarks on a different road to resurgence and enlightenment.
{"TopicId":"803665280248184832","TopicName":"Internet Writing Hole Filling Festival Wishing Season"} I didn't expect that you, Gai, writing history is really like that. Go ahead, my father will organize a private event for you in December.
First of all, we should reform the hereditary system of honors and nobles, as well as the hereditary system of military and military guard posts. The prime minister must be from the state department, and the fierce generals must be sent to the military. The inland guard posts must be abolished and replaced by the county system. Lay off redundant staff. After inventorying the land, Yang Tinghe can actually be appointed as the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, Yang Shen can be his companion, and Wang Yangming's father is about to win the first prize and teach in the East Palace. In fact, in real history, Zhengde's mobilization of foreign troops into the capital was a bold military reform, but it was a pity that he died early.
Zhu Houzhao is not that bad, mainly because he is at odds with the civil service group. His death was unexplained because of the shadow of the civil servant clique, which was in charge of compiling history. During his reign, he also took action against the Baozong mess. No one can compare to him. If you really change to a time traveler, you will either have to compromise with the civil service group, or go to the extreme with the civil service group and waste national power. Of course, it is also possible to die within a few years in the morning.
Nothing has been done, or no results can be seen from the work. The protagonist seems to be stuck in a cage by the author, and the game is about political struggle. It is understandable in modern officialdom, but it is too petty to put it in the ancient emperor who was arbitrary and arbitrary. The protagonist's staged victory never pursues the victory, pulls, pulls, and silently chirps. Hey, of course, the author's writing style is good, and the logic of political struggle is also very strong. How can I put it, it is not suitable for historical writing. It is like covering up a city, not paying attention to people's livelihood and social facts, not paying attention to the development of productivity. It is endless fun to fight with ministers all day long. After writing hundreds of pieces, I look back and achieve nothing.
Nowadays, people's thoughts are placed on a Ming prince. After reading dozens of chapters, a prince who is firmly on the throne actually confronts his ministers in person. You can't resist. You are in a feudal society and an era when imperial power is highly concentrated. You are not standing in the plaintiff's seat.
I don't understand, the emperor is obviously outside the rules, why should he jump into the rules himself and let others defeat you with their rich experience? People have been playing this all their lives, and they are still a group of people. Unless you are really a genius and understand Confucianism clearly. Confucianism has lasted for thousands of years, and even Confucius and Mencius would not be able to understand it! And even if you figure it out, it's not difficult for a group of people to come up with a new set of rules. Isn't this a mental illness?
Why is there no love between men and women in a novel? There is only politics and fighting, and it feels less interesting if it is bloodless.
He became addicted from the moment he saved the two little palace maids and stayed in the East Palace. Later, they even sat down to eat together, hahaha. The protagonist is the prince
