Still, I appreciate authors who carefully plan their outlines, polish their prose, and take their writing seriously. I mainly like wish-fulfillment stories.

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.

The writing was good at the beginning, but collapsed at the end, a typical example of opening high and going low. Especially the plot that forces the Pu family to rebel is simply extremely poisonous. You are really capable of special operations, micro-management, and those kind of communication conditions. You also used your own royal wife and nephew to fish, and carefully portrayed the royal wife being insulted by the rebels. Are you a pervert? After all, your throne came from Wuzong. If you treat someone's widow like this, calling you mean and ungrateful is an understatement, and it has no meaning to the main plot.

I like Shimiao, but I feel sad for him. He has the talent for governing the country like Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, but not the virtue of governing the country like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. I often use him to reflect on myself - to be a responsible person. As for Chongzhen, forget it, he has neither the talent of the Shimiao nor the virtue of the Shimiao. There were two turning points in Shimiao's life. The first was Zhang Cong's death and he lost the civil servant leaders who supported his reforms. The second was Xia Yan's backstabbing. His subsequent revenge led to the complete failure of the reform. Everything starts with the Gengshu Revolution Everyone complains that the capital of the Jiajing Dynasty was besieged. It's such a shame. If anyone is interested in understanding this history in depth, anyone who knows a little bit about mathematics will find a problem. The numbers of the Gengshu Revolution are not scientific at all. "Records of the Ming Dynasty" records that during the Gengxu Incident, the northern states and counties reported that they had plundered two million people and livestock. The princes of Temple Gonggun could not have guessed that there would be a comparable case in later generations. Huang Taiji entered the pass five times and plundered the capital and the surrounding areas, adding up to only 1.8 Million people. Comparing the numbers, you will find that the Gengxu Revolution in the Jiajing Dynasty was seriously watered down. Behind the crazy injection of water was the collective need of the civil servants in the six cabinet departments to humiliate Jiajing with An Da's entry into the Pass, so that the emperor would not have the prestige to continue to implement reforms, and at the same time, the local deficit would be filled by burning warehouses with fire dragons. Ada's invasion was not a one-time event, but a continuous one. There are records of Anda's mutiny in Datong in the 11th year of Jiajing, and Datong almost fell. There was also an invasion in the 19th year of Jiajing, and another invasion in the 20th year of Jiajing. The key figure in the historical turning point, Guo Xun. From the beginning of his succession to the throne, Jiajing reused Guo Xun, intending to rule the world's civil servants with military honors. There is no problem with Jiajing's arrangement. The suppression of military generals by civil servants has always been a dead end in the middle and late Yin Dynasty. Starting from the good saint Sun trusted civil servants and sent Hetao and Annan, to the director of the Civil Engineering Admissions Office who killed the nobles with a wave of studs, to Xianzong's reuse of eunuchs as military generals, that is, Chen Kun, the handsome man who wanted to manage the West Factory that the East Factory dared to manage, and the West Factory that the East Factory did not dare to manage. His prototype was called Wang Zhi. 2 Wang Zhi was the eunuch who was the most hacked. He suggested that the emperor hold military examinations, promote generals from the grassroots level, and attack Mongolia thousands of miles away. He defeated the Mongolian leader Dayan Khan Batu Mengke and fled alone. There was also Emperor Chenghua's Liting sweeping caves, which almost killed the Jianzhou Jurchens, the ancestors of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, to genocide. This is also the reason why Xianzong and Wang Zhi were so badly criticized by the "History of the Ming Dynasty" revised by the Qing Dynasty. They were obviously the top three emperors of the Ming Dynasty, but they were forced to become a coward like Jie and Zhou. After Xianzong's death, the whole hall laughed loudly and gave up military power and compromised with the civil servants. Not to mention the bastards in Xiaozong's cabinet who burned nautical charts. The key is to abolish the Kaizhong Law. Salt merchants planted grain in exchange for salt in border settlements. After abolishing Kaizhong, they only needed to take silver. If money can be exchanged for salt, then who will grow food? The imperial court has a lot of silver, but food from Jiubian has to be transported inland. Food prices have skyrocketed, and soldiers' wages have been lost to civilian officials. The key is that inflation has caused soldiers to not be able to buy enough food with the silver they receive. This is why when the Ming Dynasty was founded, its combat effectiveness was strong, but in the middle and late stages, various shortages of money and food were found in all nine sides. In the past, grain was grown in Shangtun, and soldiers received grain as wages locally. There were no middlemen to make the difference. Later, wages It was necessary to go through Pinduoduo, not to mention whether there was a cut in the float, and they had to suffer from inflation. The result was that the gentry who sold grain in the mainland were enriched. The civil servants could set their own prices to sell grain to Jiubian. The salt merchants who were dependent on the gentry did not have to work hard to farm in Jiubian. They could directly use the money to buy salt and sell it to the people at a high price. Later Wu Zong variously recognized his son and wanted to take back the military power. Finally, he went to the World Temple to trade with Wu Xun PY, and gained military power again. Jiajing's idea was that Guoxun was old and prestigious and could withstand the harm of civil servants, and then slowly cultivated Zhu Xizhong to take over. In this way, after two generations, the Ming Xun relatives could at least resist the fate of being suppressed by civil servants. All kings are domineering and domineering, and they never purely use Confucianism. Guo Xun was caught by the civil servants. Jiajing sent Guo Xun to Zhao Prison for protection in order to avoid further investigation by the civil servants. Dan Jiajing never expected that the civil servants would be so unscrupulous and directly assassinated Guo Xun. People who died in Zhao Prison cannot be investigated, because the person who manages Zhao Prison is Lu Bing, the brother of Jiajing. When Guo Xun died, the emperor was slapped in the face, and Lu Bing was also threatened. The person who killed Guoxun was Xia Yan, the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty. This is also the reason why Yan Song wanted to kill Xia Yan later, and Lu Bing added fuel to the flames. Lu Bing hated him. How much does Jiajing trust Xia Yan? He is the prince's teacher, and the emperor's teacher is Jiajing's reward for Xia Yan's support of his reforms. Xia Yan's stab in the back not only led to his own death, but also his student, the Ming Crown Prince, died unjustly the day after he came out of the cabinet. Without the protection of Xia Yan, the prince left the cabinet. History records that the crown ceremony was held on March 15th, he paid homage to the Ancestral Temple on the sixteenth day, and died suddenly in Qingning Palace on the seventeenth day. People who wanted the prince to die were too lazy to act. In May, Zhou Shangwen, the distinguished boss, died suddenly in Datong. At the end of the year, Weng Wanda ran away, and Ding You returned home after his father died. In the first month of the second year, Zhan Rong, the Minister of War, who had always supported Jiajing, resigned and ran away. Jiajing was furious. At this point, the three walls of Xuanda supporting Jiajing were completely broken. Ada's prerequisites for opening the Beijing dungeon were all met. The prestige gained from Jiajing's arrogant etiquette was all lost, and the army was defeated like a mountain. Shimiao was disheartened and lay down completely. I have gone to cultivate immortality. The biggest contradiction of the Jiajing Dynasty was the opening of the sea. Renyin Palace Changes Many people criticized Jiajing for being cruel and almost strangled to death by the palace maids, but they did not think about how the palace ladies crossed many obstacles and ran to Jiajing's palace to assassinate Jiajing. I also don't think about why after the Renyin Palace incident, the queen immediately executed two concubines, and Jiajing killed the queen with a backhand. How deep is the water here? I still haven't figured out which side is which. If most people don't understand this period of history in depth, they may never imagine that the queen and concubines were pawns in the Renyin Palace Incident, and the real trigger was Annan's surrender that happened in the same year. In the 20th year of Jiajing, Shimiao sent a total of 125,000 people from the state of Guizhou to conquer Annan. The commander-in-chief of Annan, Mo Dengyong, surrendered with a map of the Annan civil register and surrendered. Jiajing regained Annan. Since then, the biggest obstacle to opening the sea has been eliminated. (Don't ask why Annan was needed to open the sea, why Annan was lost and the great voyage was lost, and don't ask why Liu Daxia burned the sea map, and asked Xiaozong to give up regaining Annan and look at the map himself) After the Annan expedition, the only thing that prevented the sea opening was the empty ancestral precept of the court. It only needed a court meeting, not even a court meeting. Jiajing, who had military power, could not abandon the civil servants in the court at all. At this time, the southeastern gentry began to ignore martial ethics and simply flipped the table, so the Renyin Palace Incident happened. The Jiajing Dynasty was a dynasty in which the conflicts between imperial power, ministers, power and martial arts broke out. Especially in the first two decades, with the deepening of Jiajing's reforms and the opening of the Southeast Sea, the contradiction between imperial power and ministerial power completely intensified. This is the reason why Xia Yan stabbed Jiajing in the back. His class position did not allow him to stand on Jiajing's side. The reason why Jiajing was able to control the court was not because of his extraordinary talent, but because of the fighting power shown by Jiajing in the Great Ceremony, which gave the Wuxuns hope. Wuxun's collective will chose to cooperate with Jiajing. This was also the last desperate fight for the Wuxuns. For this reason, the Wuxuns even gave up part of their benefits, that is, Jiajing and Guo Xun were in PY During the transaction, Jiajing promoted a large number of middle and low-level generals from poor families. Without the acquiescence and support of the Wu Xun, how could Jiajing obtain military power by taking the bottom route? The nobles holding the world scrolls may not be able to accomplish anything, but if something bad happens, Jiajing has no choice. As long as Wu Xun cries in the temple and prevents Jiajing from taking martial arts, Jiajing will not be able to promote a single general from a low family. What kind of strategy is not to say that it is completely useless, but it only seems to be of little use. Is it because Taizu and Chengzu are so fierce? No, it is because these two emperors have military power, and they can kill each other if they disagree. The emperor with military power is the complete emperor. When Guo Xun paid allegiance to Jiajing on behalf of the nobles, Jiajing was able to resist Anda's invasion in the north again and again. Coupled with the support of the two chief assistants, Zhang Cong and Xia Yan. Without the collective support of civil servants and military generals, Jiajing would dare to engage in such difficult things as reform? Many people say that there is no civil servant group, and the civil servants have never coalesced into a group. In fact, it is simple to explain this problem. The teacher teaches us step by step how to think about politics in just two sentences First, there are no party-imperial thoughts outside the party, and there are no factions within the party, and there are all kinds of strange things. Second, playing politics means making too many friends and too few enemies. Jiajing used great etiquette to divide the civil servants and win over some scholar-bureaucrats at the bottom who were loyal to the Ming Dynasty and whose blood had not yet cooled down, such as the radical reformist Zhang Cong and Xia Yan, and attacked Yang Ting and these conservative forces who used the ancestral system as a memorial arch. Winning over the left wing of the civil servants and attacking the right wing of the civil servants allowed the nobles who had been lying down to see the hope of rising again, so Guo Xun led the military generals to use the last afterglow to fight against Jiajing. This is the reason why Jiajing's power is second only to the second founding ancestor. It is the strength he showed that made everyone choose to follow him. The more people support him, the stronger Jiajing will be, not Shi Laozi's imperial will. Emperor's tricks, conspiracies, and tricks are the "art of governing the country". Through one's own abilities, promoting common ideals, finding like-minded people, and using common interests to unite everyone into a whole, this is the "way" of governing the country. A monarch who has skills but no principles will only alienate his ministers and the people of the world, and will not be able to become a true emperor. The Shimiao after the 29th year of Jiajing was such an unprincipled and ignorant king. There is an episode in "Journey to the West" where the holy monk Jinchi had bad thoughts about the cassock because Guanyin did not choose him to go to the West to learn scriptures, and finally the fate of life and death disappeared. Emperor Jiajing was like the golden lotus monk who was abandoned by Guanyin. From the fourth year of Jiajing to the twenty-ninth year of Jiajing, history was testing Jiajing. Jiajing's character flaws did not allow him to cross this hurdle. If he crossed Jiajing, he would be able to kill indiscriminately. If he could not cross, he would be incompetent and furious. The trumpet Jiajing is incompetent and furious The big Jiajing is killing indiscriminately
This book is really goodO(≧▽≦)O
This book has a threshold! It is highly recommended for fans of historical time-travel novels to read it. For readers who have just started reading historical novels, please save it temporarily. For readers who like cool novels, please go out and read historical short stories! I would like to say something about several frequently commented points in the comments! 1. Parts of the novel are boring, especially the first step of the plot, which makes some readers find it difficult to read. First of all, I personally don't like Machiavellianism, because most authors can't write well and are divorced from reality. It seems that the government's governance is all based on conspiracy and conspiracy. At first glance, it seems that they are doing things behind closed doors. But I enjoyed watching this work very much. It uses conspiracy extensively, that is, the political struggle that is put on the table to see through without telling the truth. I currently give 9 points for the conspiracy part in this work. This is actually the first threshold. If you are a student or have never been in a professional officialdom, it is normal to find this part difficult to understand. The real officialdom is 100 times more complicated than this. It is full of sophistication, lies, considerations, siding with others, teamwork, manipulation, forbearance, tolerance, cold-bloodedness, exchanges, compromises, etc. The story of the whirlpool of the power center in the imperial era is even more complicated. In fact, the author has tried his best to simplify and perfect it. The 15-year-old emperor, who has only been on the throne for less than a month, has already confused his first assistant. This is already a cool article. The reality is that if you take Obama, Putin, and the old emperor of Thailand who are in their prime and have rich experience, and send them to the past together, there is a high probability that you will only be able to survive until the cabinet bosses retire based on their age, and then gradually promote reforms. 2. Regarding the author's issue of not opening the technology line. First of all, there are too many articles on science and technology, and many even move modern political systems there. Although the author is writing about time travel, he is actually telling a story. This story assumes what would have happened if Jiajing was a truly wise emperor with a modern vision. If you want to read Goldfinger, it is recommended to open the search bar in the upper right corner of the homepage, and you can go anywhere. Secondly, even if you open the science and technology line, the prerequisite must be to emancipate your mind! First came the Renaissance, then came the bourgeois revolution! If we open up the science and technology line first and then carry out changes through the improvement of productivity, it will be the Ming Dynasty version of the Westernization Movement! Although the Westernization Movement failed, it also achieved certain results due to the pressure caused by the invasion of foreign enemies. If we put this process in the Jiajing period, there is a high probability that the civil servants and military generals would not consider the Jurchens to be much of a threat. The productivity reform would definitely lack sustained power. Instead, they wanted to stimulate the budding capital in an agricultural society and hoped that capital would be driven by 300% profit. There was no clear theoretical guidance to unify the mind. I guess Li Zicheng would not be needed for an enclosure movement. Jiajing could practice more pull-ups. 3. Regarding the procrastination of the struggle in psychology. I saw some comments saying that Xinxue is completely unnecessary, because Xinxue cannot save the Ming Dynasty historically, and introducing Xinxue will cause chaos. As an accountant who has traveled through time, it is better to introduce modern science, such as using statistics to explain problems to conquer courtiers. However, this is also a threshold that tests the reader's view of history. The author's current approach is correct, and I absolutely support it. Just imagine, there are no old men and women in the community. Can you use statistics, psychology, law, sociology, management and other disciplines to persuade them to stop dancing in the square in the morning? Can you use carefully listed defrauded data to persuade them to stop TV shopping? Can you use professional knowledge such as media to persuade them not to buy health care products? Can't convince anyone? As a result, the strong self-confidence generated ensured that Jiajing could use his professional knowledge in accounting to convince the cabinet of several old stubborns in their 60s who had read books all their lives. They could not even convince those who read the Bible! Why is there so much officialdom? There will be more! What will it be for? Unify your thoughts! ! ! So, can Jiajing unify its thoughts? If not, any meeting will be useless, because imperial power and Confucianism have become twins. A very important role of Confucian theory is to restrain the king, and the king relies on Confucianism to restrain the scholars. This was the political correctness of that era! Therefore, we can only introduce the science of mind to help ourselves change the minds of scholars. It is a necessary step to use psychology to attack Neo-Confucianism to form a new balance and liberate the mind. It will not seriously impact the political correctness of the time, nor will it too much encroach on the interests of scholars. It can maintain stability and will not lead to the reform of the throne, nor will it introduce Taoism and Buddhism to cause a religious war. If a leader wants to control a unit, the most important thing is balance. Personnel is politics, and personnel balance is the premise of everything. This principle has been the same from ancient times to the present. Leaders who fail to grasp this point are not worthy of being leaders, such as Chongzhen. Therefore, it is necessary to unify our thoughts. Without this process, everything is empty talk.

Thirty-year-old girl, there is a crazy guy who writes about basketball who has joined your book club. If the management sees the trouble, kick him out. He knows that there are no good people in the sports world.
The first part of the book is good, but the second part is really unsatisfactory. First of all, I feel that the ancient war scenes written by the author are all imagined by himself, without reference to real historical materials, so forget it. The whole article just feels boring and not epic at all 🙄 Secondly, I feel that the process of the protagonist seizing military power is really funny, and it is all done by the ministers. I haven't even shown my face in front of the big soldiers The writing about reform, innovation, and science and technology is a bit interesting, but the later part also feels a bit tasteless. How can I put it, it is so out of touch with the world that I feel a bit fantasy... In ancient times, when reforms were carried out and more than a dozen important new policies were implemented within a year, would they really not trigger large-scale civil unrest? Any change takes time. Are people really that adaptable? And this emperor has been fishing behind the scenes, secretly. I really feel that the more I watch, the less interesting it is. I have already watched two-thirds of the plot, and I am still playing riddles. The Riddler should get out of Gotham City! To be honest, I feel that the best, most beautiful and interesting part of this book is the part before the rebellion, especially the part before the rebellion. In the collision between psychology and psychology, there is also Lattice Physics, which integrates physics and dialectics into Confucianism. I really want to see the protagonist come to the stage and integrate politics and religion to become a contemporary living saint, instead of like in the book... Also, well, there is basically no plot to flirt with the harem concubines. It is already dry and dry, and there is no lubricant at all, which is boring
The History of the Changes of the Ancestral Temple in the Ming Dynasty: Let's see how Jiajing Emperor, the most capable of torturing the etiquette system, got into trouble - Ningnan Zuohou (Jiajing's Curse: It is absolutely impossible to get my father out of the ancestral temple, unless the Ming Dynasty is gone!)
The system and layout of the Ancestral Temple in the Ming Dynasty were different at different times. There was no imperial temple in the early years of Hongwu. Zhu Yuanzhang built four independent temples in the southeast of the palace city. Each temple was five rooms wide. The middle room was dedicated to the four ancestors of De Yi and Xiren (Zhu Yuanzhang's great-grandfather, great-grandfather, grandfather, and father). The Ancestral Temple was rebuilt in the eighth year of Hongwu and completed in October of the following year. It is nine rooms wide, with Dezu in the middle, Yizu in the east, Xizu in the west, and Renzu in the east of Yizu. In the fifth month of the thirty-first year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang passed away. In the same month, the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen came to the throne. In June, Zhu Yuanzhang went to the temple and was posthumously named Emperor Taizu Gao. He also posthumously named Zhu Biao, the prince of Yiwen who died early, as Emperor Xingzongkang. At the same time, the two of them were consecrated to the temple. Since the deeds of the Jianwen Dynasty were almost completely wiped out by Yan Ni, there are disagreements about what the Ancestral Temple was like during this period, and even whether Xingzong had a necropolis temple, but it was basically recognized as a necropolis temple. In the fourth year of Jianwen, Yan rebelled and invaded the capital. Jianwenjun's whereabouts were unknown, so it was naturally impossible to go to the temple. When Yan Ni ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he removed the posthumous title of Xingzong Temple and still called him Prince Yiwen. He moved out of the Imperial Ancestral Temple. In November of the 18th year of Yongle, Zhu Di issued an edict to move the capital to Beijing. On the first day of the first lunar month of the following year, the ancestors of all dynasties were relocated to the Imperial Ancestral Temple in Beijing. From then on, the Ming Dynasty entered the period of two northern and southern imperial temples. In July of the 22nd year, Zhu Di died of illness in Yumuchuan. In August, Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi came to the throne and honored Zhu Di as Emperor Taizongwen. This year, the Ming Dynasty was rich in state funerals. In May of the same year as Taizong's temple, Zhu Gaochi died. Prince Zhu Zhanji came to the throne and posthumously named him Renzong. In May of the second year of Xuande (this is later): On the third day of the first month of the tenth year of Xuande, Zhu Zhanji died. Prince Zhu Qizhen ascended the throne, and his temple name was Xuanzong. In the first month of the second year of Zhengtong, Xuanzong Temple. Zhu Qizhen was later captured during the Tumubao Incident, and his younger brother Zhu Qiyu, King of Yin, ascended the throne. However, in the eighth year of Jingtai, Zhu Qizhen restored his throne. Emperor Jingtai died of illness later, and Zhu Qizhen did not recognize his emperor status. After Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty, there once again appeared an emperor who was not recognized by the current dynasty. In the first month of the eighth year of Tianshun, Zhu Qizhen died. Prince Zhu Jianshen came to the throne and honored Zhu Qizhen as the Yingzong. In the first month of the second year of Chenghua, the Yingzong Nephew Temple and then the Imperial Ancestral Temple were full: In December of the eleventh year of Chenghua, Chenghua Emperor Zhu Jianshen restored the title of Emperor Jingtai and gave the posthumous title of "Emperor Gongrenkang Dingjing", but he did not give his uncle the Nephew Temple. The Ming Dynasty emperor's standard posthumous title was seventeen characters, while that of Emperor Jingtai only had five characters. Therefore, he was rehabilitated, but not completely rehabilitated. In August of the 23rd year of Chenghua, Zhu Jianshen passed away. Prince Zhu Youtang ascended the throne and was named Xianzong. The issue of Xianzong's nephew's temple became a problem. Because the Taimiao was full, one had to be moved out, whose scientific name was "". However, the ministers had different opinions on how to arrange it and who should be honored. The first major ceremony in the Ming Dynasty occurred. Zhou Hongmo, the Minister of Rites, suggested that the fourth ancestor of Deyi and Xiren was named posthumously, and the ancestors further up could not be traced, so Dezu should be regarded as the ancestor, and he would stay in the Taimiao forever, and his scientific name would be Baishengbuzu, and then start from Yizu and move outward, one by one. As for the relocated ancestral temple, another temple can be built and placed there. However, this plan was opposed by Yang Shouchen, the minister of the Ministry of official affairs. Yang Shilang believed that the posthumous titles did not count, Deyi, Xiren should move out, and Taizu was the yyds. Therefore, while the Taizu was full this time, all three of Dezu, Yizu, and Xizu were moved out at once, and Renzu was moved out after three generations. In this way, Taizu was legitimately ranked in the middle. It stands to reason that these two plans must be the more scientific one of Yang Shilang, and there is a precedent here, which is the old incident of the Song Dynasty. This is a worse bad debt and will not be discussed here. In short, in the end, Zhu Youtang agreed with Zhou Hongmo's plan. After the incident, Yizu was moved out to the newly built Zui Temple at the back, and then the Ancestral Temple was rearranged: In May of the 18th year of Hongzhi, Zhu Youtang died, and Prince Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne. His temple was named Xiaozong. In June of the following year, Xizu came out of the Yi Temple. In March of the 16th year of Zhengde, Zhu Houzhao died of illness. Since he had no sons or brothers, he invited his cousin Zhu Houcong from Hubei to ascend the throne. Zhu Houcong gave his cousin the temple name Wuzong. In March of the second year of Jiajing, Renzu came out of the temple. Zhu Houcong, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty who was the most capable of tormenting the etiquette system, was not even one of them. When he first came to the throne, he started to quarrel with the ministers, that is, whether his father, King Xingxian Zhu Youqi, could be posthumously named emperor. Focusing on this issue, Zhu Houcong and the ministers began a protracted confrontation. In the end, the emperor was superior, and King Xingxian was promoted to Emperor Xingxian. He also built the Xingxian Emperor Temple for his father in his hometown in Hubei, which is the same as the Ancestral Temple. But at this time, Emperor Xingxian was similar to Emperor Gongren Kangdingjing. He had no temple title and incomplete posthumous titles. Zhu Houcong was holding back his thoughts to invite his father to the Ancestral Temple. In the fourth year of Jiajing's reign, He Yuan, the Prime Minister of Guanglu Temple, wrote to Shizong, asking him to build a royal palace for Emperor Xingxian and not to move it for a hundred generations. As soon as the news came out, He Yuan was almost scolded. The biggest opposition came from Zhang Cong and Gui E, who not long ago had supported Jiajing in asking for his father's identity - ugh! Emperor Xingxian will not move for a hundred generations? Is he worthy? ! What did Jiajing say? So the Xingxian Emperor Temple was built in the Huanbi Hall outside the Taimiao Temple. After it was built the following year, Jiajing named the temple "Shimiao". Emperor Xingxian completed the transformation from the establishment of a temple in Hubei to the establishment of a temple in the capital. In the first month of the tenth year of Jiajing's reign, Jiajing removed Dezu from the Ancestral Temple and rearranged them so that Taizu was in the middle. Moreover, there were actually eight people in the Ancestral Temple, and one person was vacant in the west fourth room - note that one person was vacated at this time, and Zhu Di was still in the temple: At this time, Emperor Xingxian had not yet entered the Ancestral Temple, and Jiajing's little thought came again. In September of the same year, he discussed with the ministers and said that he wanted to restore the Zhou rites. Except for Taizu who was in the Ancestral Temple, everyone else came out to build special temples. As a result, the ministers ignored him, and Jiajing was asking for trouble. As a result, three years later, the Nanjing Imperial Ancestral Temple was completely burned by a fire. Nanjing's Minister of Rites, Zhan Ruoshuishui, wrote in a letter that the Nanjing tablets should be sent to Beijing for temporary storage, and then the Nanjing Ancestral Temple would be rebuilt. When Jiajing heard that the Nanjing Ancestral Temple was on fire? What a joy! So he told the minister that since the capital had been moved, there was no need for the Nanjing Ancestral Temple to exist and it should be ignored. Xia Yan took the opportunity to tell Jiajing that it was a good thing that the Nanjing Imperial Ancestral Temple was on fire, and it indicated that the system would be changed. Jiajing is even more happy. Whatever you want comes to you. My dear, please make some plans. So a new temple system was decided, and the layout changed drastically: Taizu was in the middle and was called Taizu Temple; As we said above, there is no need to move out of the royal family. If this is done, Taizu Taizong will not have to move out - note that Zhu Di is still Taizong at this time. In December of the 15th year of Jiajing's reign, the new Taizu Temple was built. The four ancestors of Emperor Shizong, namely De, Yi, Xi and Ren, entered the temple. The next day, the following seven sects of Taizu were enshrined and listed in the temples: This style of Taizu temple is called the capital palace style. But the most important thing has not been resolved yet - Emperor Xingxian has not come in yet. It was postponed for another three years. In April of the 17th year of Jiajing, he sent a letter to Tongzhi Fengfang of Yangzhou Prefecture, suggesting that Emperor Xingxian be called the ancestral temple. Jiajing was overjoyed and asked the ministers to discuss it. The government and the public were basically opposed. Yan Song, the Minister of Rites, did not want to offend the emperor. Minister, I don't want to offend the emperor, so I would like to ask the emperor to make up his mind on this matter. I will listen to you. Jiajing said, "I didn't hear what you said about the wind being too strong." Say it again, Yan Song said, "I think it is completely reasonable for Emperor Xian to call his ancestral temple." Yes, it's done with just one sentence. In September of the same year, the new version of the Imperial Ancestral Temple changed its layout again. Emperor Xian was added to the temple name Ruizhong, and the posthumous title was added to Zhi Tian Shou Dao Hong De Yuan Ren Kuan Mu Chunsheng respectful thrifty Jing Wen Emperor, Chenggong Temple, and Xiao Zong were in the same room. At the same time, Jiajing changed the temple name of Emperor Taizong, which had been in the family of Wenzu for generations, to Chengzu. Ruizong finally got his wish and entered the temple, which was a great joy. Enter the temple, are you happy? Not necessarily, because for Jiajing, why should my father and my uncle have to squeeze in when everyone else is sharing a room? Coincidentally, in April of the 20th year of Jiajing's reign, the Ancestral Temple caught fire. After the fire, except for Ruizong Xiaozong's house, the rest was completely burned. The Imperial Ancestral Temple had to be rebuilt, and Jiajing spoke again: Oh, you see, I said that the ancestors were unwilling to perform sacrifices separately. Now that the fire is falling from the sky, it reminds us that we should restore the old system. In June of the 24th year of Jiajing's reign, the new Ancestral Temple was built. Jiajing pretended to ask ministers to discuss the layout of the temple. Zhang Bi, the Minister of Rites, was an honest man. If you asked me to discuss it, I would really discuss it, so he came up with an idea: Taizu was in the middle, Zhao Zhao on the left and Mu on the right were in the same style as the other palaces in the capital. Jiajing was almost mad to death. Isn't my hard work in vain after all the fussing together? He scolded Zhang Bi for not being a human being: "The fruits are not human beings. What does it mean to be inhuman? A human being without parents is a human being!" Jiajing, who was still angry, decided not to go through this process at all, but to support himself, so he designed a version himself: Taizu was in the middle, the four on the left were Cheng, Xuan, Xian, and Rui, and the four on the right were benevolence, Ying, Xiao, and Wu. There are three unreasonable things here: First, you said earlier that you would restore the seven-temple system. Why is it now nine temples? Second, if Ruizong is placed between Xiaozong and Wuzong, where should Wuzong be placed? Third, it's unreasonable for brothers to have different personalities, right? But Jiajing didn't care about this, and gave the minister an explanation called "it was a matter of last resort" - there is something going on here, but I can't say it. Emperor Xingxian successfully owned an independent residence. Logically speaking, Jiajing should be satisfied, right? No, there is another hidden danger for Jiajing - the Nine Temples are still full now, and when he dies, he will still have to sacrifice one of them. What if the minister takes Ruizhong out? After all, he had never been an emperor, and if he succeeded Ruizhong, he would not need to change the positions of the tablets in the entire Ancestral Temple, he could just replace Ruizong's with his own. What's even more frightening is that Bao Buqi and his gang didn't even bother to use Ruizong's ancestral ancestry after he died, but sent it directly to Emperor Xingxian's temple. This was a mistake! You have to find an opportunity to change it. You will get whatever you want. Two years later, Jiajing's daughter-in-law, Queen Fang, died. Jiajing said in her heart that she was very happy! So he put on a grief-stricken expression and discussed with the minister: There was an attempt to kill me in the palace before, but it was Queen Fang who saved me. How kind she was to me! I want to invite her into the Ancestral Temple! Is it reasonable? Reasonable and unreasonable. The Empress's Temple is indeed correct, because the emperors and empresses of all past dynasties are written on the same tablet. But the problem is that if the queen dies first, the tablets will be placed alone in the Fengxian Hall. When the emperor also dies, the two tablets will be combined and sent to the Ancestral Temple. You're not dead yet, why don't you invite the queen in first? Jiajing didn't care about this. He even cried and clamored to invite Queen Fang in. At first, Yan Song and Xu Jie objected, but later found that the objection was ineffective. Jiajing was a docile donkey, so fine, you can let her in if you like. But the Nine Temples are full now. When Queen Fang goes in, someone has to come out—Zong Renzong. In November of the 29th year of Jiajing, Queen Fang's temple, Renzong: Queen Fang: Is this a beaver? In December of the forty-fifth year of the Jiajing reign, Zhu Houcong died, and Prince Zhu Zaijing ascended the throne. His reign was Longqing, and his temple was named Shizong. In the second year of Longqing, the temple was named Shizong, and Empress Fang's occupation of the throne ended. In May of the sixth year of Longqing, Zhu Zaijing passed away, and Prince Zhu Yijun came to the throne, taking the temple name Mu Zong. Sure enough, the reality confirmed Jiajing's worries when he was still alive - the Li Kedu reported the matter to Lu Shude, who suggested that Mu Zong not worship Xuanzong in the temple, but instead invite Ruizhong out and throw it back to Xingxian Emperor Temple. However, in the end this suggestion was not adopted. In May of the second year of Wanli, the temple was dedicated to Xuanzong. So the Ancestral Temple settled down, and honestly followed the practice of entering one person at a time, no more quarrels, no more arguments. In July of the forty-eighth year of Wanli, Zhu Yijun died, and Prince Zhu Changluo came to the throne. Zhu Changluo also died soon after, and Prince Zhu Youxiao came to the throne. He gave his grandfather the temple name Shenzong and his father's temple Guangzong. As for the issue of Guangzong's ancestral temple, Hong Wenheng, the minister of Taichang Temple at that time, wrote a letter saying that he did not want Xianzong and suggested that Ruizong be thrown out, but this suggestion was rejected again. In August of the seventh year of Tianqi, Zhu Youxiao died, and his younger brother Zhu Youjian came to the throne, taking the temple name of Xizong. In August of the second year of Chongzhen, Xizong Temple, Tui Xiaozong: If Chongzhen died, it stands to reason that it would be Tui Ruizong. But I suspect that Jiajing made a curse at that time: He wanted to drive my father out unless the Ming Dynasty was gone! Sure enough, Ruizong, who was about to be excommunicated, was not excommunicated after all, because the Ming Dynasty fell and Chongzhen no longer had to enter the temple. From this whole set of history, there are two classic rumors that can be clarified: First, Zhu Di became Chengzu, which has nothing to do with Ruizong's temple. Zhu Di did not change the temple name and did not need to be expelled, because Dezu had already left the temple at that time, and there was a vacancy in the temple. In other words, if Jiajing forced Ruizong to enter the temple at the beginning, it was also Dezu and had nothing to do with Taizong. Secondly, Renzong was rushed out, and it had nothing to do with Ruizhong being able to enter the temple. It was to ensure that Ruizhong would not be expelled from the Ancestral Temple after Jiajing's death. Thirdly, the issue of Ruizhong did become a controversial topic after Jiajing's death, and this issue may have also affected Nanming. In short, the issue of the Imperial Ancestral Temple was still very troublesome in the Ming Dynasty. Someone in the comment area asked how to do it when the two temples were built in the north and the south. How else to do it, just make two copies. In addition, there is no limit to the number of temples, that is, they will never be full, even if it reaches nine. Of course, it was the Qing Dynasty that finally solved the problem of temples and temples once and for all. The Qing Dynasty directly declared that the Imperial Ancestral Temple was only accessible and closed, and that every one of them could be put in. So after Xuantong came to the throne, eleven emperors were lined up in the Imperial Ancestral Temple from west to east. Let's talk about the issue of Nanming Ancestral Temple. There is a paucity of information on the system of the Southern Ming Ancestral Temple, so it is unknown what it is like. However, Emperor Hongguang of the Southern Ming Dynasty conferred the posthumous title on Chongzhen, restored the posthumous titles of Prince Yiwen, Emperor Jianwen, and Emperor Jingtai, and posthumously named his father Emperor Gong. After Longwu came to the throne, he posthumously named the four generations of his ancestors as Zhezong, Chunzong, Dingzong, and Yuzong. So theoretically, how should this temple be placed? Unknown.
