Tracing China: Through history, dialogue between ancient and modern

Chapter 151 The Most Difficult Emperor in History Han Xiandi

Jiangdong Xiaobawang personally said that he is not as good as Cao Cao, a generation of heroes, which is quite unexpected.

Take a look at the entire history of the Three Kingdoms.

Cao Cao's life trajectory runs through two-thirds, and he is also a veritable "hero" representative.

His achievements are enough to look up to this era.

"Brother, if you don't envy Gongjin, maybe the world will be different!" Sun Ce sighed.

But he is dead after all.

Can't change the present.

Only increase in vain.

"Brother, Gongjin has always been aggressive in strategy and likes to take risks. If I don't restrain myself, we Jiangdong's wealth is not enough for him to squander!" Sun Quan replied with a look of grievance.

"Gong Jin, what strategy did he offer you?" Sun Ce asked in a deep voice.

"More than a month ago, Gongjin Xiangquan deduced the situation, threatening to seize Jingzhou immediately after winning the Battle of Chibi, and then use Jingzhou as a springboard to shrink Liu Bei's territory and look for opportunities to gradually encroach on Cao Cao's territory."

"Finally, the strategy of taking Yizhou, uniting Ma Chao on the west road to fight against Cao Cao, and sending troops to the north on the middle road to compete for the world."

"Jingzhou is desirable, but the six counties in Jiangdong have a small family and a small business. At this time, it is unrealistic to think about the Northern Expedition. Quan then refuted Gongjin's strategy. At that time, Jing Jing was quite displeased."

For my younger brother.

Sun Ce just said, "Zhou Yu's strategy is very radical. Whether it will succeed or not is unknown, but there is a lot of room for imagination."

Lin Feng continued, "Unfortunately, later on, when the King of Wu wanted to agree to Zhou Gongjin's strategy, Gongjin appeared strange and died young at the age of 36. Since then, Jiangdong has gradually become conservative, and in the end it can only become a separatist party." It can be said that once Zhou Yu dies, Soochow will see no hope of competing for the world."

After Zhou Yu's death.

Zhuge Liang, the unparalleled military strategist, officially stepped onto the stage and became the most dazzling and most eye-catching new star.

"Zhou Lang's ingenious plan to secure the world!"

"My stupid brother!"

"You said."

"Is Gongjin's death related to you?"

"Say!"

The little overlord Sun Ce was full of resentment, his face was terribly dark, like a generation of ghosts from the underworld, his aura was terrifying.

The cold wind gusts send chills down the spine.

"Quan, it is true that Gong Jin is by his side, and he has arranged a confidant. If Gong Jin has the intention of rebelling, he will assassinate him!"

Sun Quan was so frightened that his voice trembled.

"Snapped……"

Sun Ce slapped his younger brother until his eyes were full of stars, he collapsed to the ground, and said angrily, "It's just stupid, thanks to the fact that you have read many sage books, you don't need to be suspicious of others, why don't you understand? Gong Jin's ambition is to win the world, not just you mere King Wu..."

Sun Quan said with Dou E's resentment on his face, "Brother, what if Gong Jin wants to rebel?"

Sun Ce said coldly, "If Gongjin turns against you, you will have been smashed to pieces already. Can you live to this day?"

Sun Quan retorted, "As the king of Wu, how can you not plan ahead? Tell me, what should I do?"

Sun Ce was silent!
Since ancient times, it has been a situation where the ruler and his officials have to die.

Sun Quan is not Qin Shihuang.

It cannot crush an era, it can only solve hidden dangers and eliminate threats.

As strong as Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, after the establishment of the Han Dynasty, he would die cunningly, cook the dog, kill the bow and bird, and hide the good bow; he kept killing the famous generals and ministers under the killer, just to consolidate his dynasty.

Let alone a Sun Quan with an unstable foundation.

Even Liu Bei, who was entrusted to the orphan in Baidi City, was worried that Zhuge Liang would rebel, so he asked Zhuge Liang to swear a poisonous oath in front of his bed.

"All right!"

"You, wish yourself good luck!"

Sun Ce was about to leave, his expression turned purple and black. When he died unexpectedly, he was full of resentment and resentment.

Gone now.

Also full of resentment.

Lin Feng comforted, "Little Overlord, in the Three Kingdoms era, everyone was a loser, and everyone was a winner. There was no perfect success, and no complete failure. It is to be completely wiped out, and its reputation will be ruined for thousands of years, and it will be despised."

Did Yuan Shao of the Four Generations and Three Dukes fail?The ending was a failure, but he had a brilliant past, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, he was superior to all heroes, and was once admired by the world.

Did Yuan Shu fail?The ending was not pretty, but he was emperor for a while after all.

What about Cao Cao?
What about Cao Pi?
What about Liu Bei?
What about Zhuge Liang?

Where is Guan Yu?
Which of them didn't die before their ambitions were unpaid, but they had fought for their ideals and worked hard. Even if they died, they were worthy of their own life, and they left their names through the ages. Pen.

Before disappearing, Sun Ce said quietly, "Young man, you should talk to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. He is the emperor of the end of Han Dynasty and is different from others."

Dialogue with Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty?
After thinking for a while, Lin Feng decided to take a trip to Xuchang.

"King Wu, this junior has a word of advice. Gong Jin is a rare and good general through the ages. I hope you will treat him well!"

After Lin Feng finished speaking, he disappeared with a gust of wind.

Xuchang.

The hometown of the Three Kingdoms culture.

At this time, Lin Feng used the system to type a line on the camera - the three most difficult emperors in history.

A: Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

B: Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian.

C: Emperor Guangxu Aixinjueluo Zaitian.

Three options, three rulers during the decline of their respective dynasties.In the end, none of them stopped the decline of the country's demise in one fell swoop, that is to say, a comeback!
For a while, this topic sparked heated discussions on the Internet.

"Emperor Chongzhen is the easiest to turn the tables. Although he had natural and man-made disasters at the time, the hearts of the people are still in the Ming court. As long as he has half of Zhu Yuanzhang's wrist and half of Zhu Di's force, he can definitely come back."

"I agree, if Emperor Chongzhen chooses to move south, he will have the greatest chance of making a comeback."

"Guangxu is just a puppet of Cixi. Although he has ideas, but his own abilities and limitations are not enough, he ranks second."

"The most difficult thing to turn around is definitely Han Xiandi, there is no doubt about it."

"Han Xiandi is the most difficult, and does not accept rebuttals."

"Emperor Chongzhen suffered the most, and Guangxu suffered the most. Although Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty had a comfortable life, he was like a canary in a cage, unable to escape at all."

"That's right, Han Xiandi didn't have a few days of freedom in his life, let alone a comeback, if he can walk out of the gate of the palace, he is considered capable."

"However, in terms of the ending, Han Xiandi is not bad."

"If I were Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, instead of being tortured every day, I might as well find a tree with a crooked neck and hang myself."

"If it is the ability ranking, Emperor Chongzhen is greater than Emperor Guangxu than Emperor Xian of Han."

"you sure?"

"Actually, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty is not weak. It is his ability to live until he dies of old age in a troubled world."

……

The wind direction of the network is surprisingly consistent.

Everyone thinks that the most difficult emperor in Chinese history to turn the tables is Han Xiandi.

For this point, the host Lin Feng recognized it.

Because Han Xiandi's life was really involuntary, like duckweed in the sea, he couldn't even make a cry.

First, the analysis of the difficulty of Emperor Chongzhen's comeback.

Soon after Emperor Chongzhen came to power, he eradicated Wei Zhongxian's party in one fell swoop, and he himself was diligent and diligent. The Ming Dynasty seemed to have the hope of ZTE.However, due to Chongzhen's "improper operation", the Ming Dynasty was finally ruined.

In fact, the problems faced by Emperor Chongzhen at that time mainly included three aspects: one was the Donglin Party within the imperial court, the other was the peasant uprising army within the dynasty, and the third was the Jurchen regime that separated the Northeast.

And these three problems, as long as they are handled properly, are completely controllable.

Let’s first look at the Donglin party issue: in the ancient family and private ownership society, almost every dynasty had party struggles to varying degrees, such as the Niu Li party struggle in the Tang Dynasty, the reformist headed by Wang Anshi and the conservative headed by Sima Guang in the Song Dynasty Another example is the struggle between the Huaixi Party and the Eastern Zhejiang Party in the early Ming Dynasty.However, as long as the emperor handles it properly, it can be controlled.

The problem of the Donglin Party in the Chongzhen Emperor actually existed for a long time. The reason why it got out of control during the Chongzhen Emperor was mainly because of Chongzhen's handling mistakes.Chongzhen's elder brother is a confused carpenter emperor, but the Donglin Party's problem is not serious, because they have mastered the balance, that is, the struggle and balance between the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party headed by Wei Zhongxian.

It was not wrong for Emperor Chongzhen to get rid of Wei Zhongxian after he came to power. His fault was that he vigorously appointed people from the Donglin Party, and he had no effective restrictions on the Donglin Party, which eventually caused the Donglin Party to grow bigger.

The second problem is the peasant rebels, but these rebels were also cornered. In the most difficult time, Li Zicheng only led a dozen people to escape. Zhang Xianzhong, another important rebel general, was also forced to surrender.

However, when the problem of the rebel army was about to be resolved, Chongzhen made a fuss about it. As a result, the rebel army revived and finally broke into the capital, forcing Chongzhen to hang himself.

The third problem is the problem of establishing slaves. Although Emperor Chongzhen was very stubborn when facing this problem, his own ability was very limited, and he wanted to pacify Liaodong in a short time. Successive years of war dragged down the Ming Dynasty.

If Emperor Chongzhen uses the right people, first consolidate the defense line and then slowly advance, and do not rush for success, there may be a possibility of success, at least it will not ruin a large number of soldiers and waste a large amount of national power.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were not no famous generals. Which generals such as Yuan Chonghuan, Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, and Lu Xiangsheng were not famous generals who could win battles?
But they all died under Chongzhen's coquettish manipulation. This has to be said to be the sorrow of Chongzhen and the sorrow of the Ming Dynasty.

……

Second, if Emperor Guangxu wanted to make a comeback, he only needed to deal with Cixi.

After hearing the government behind the curtain twice, Cixi has firmly grasped the real power of the Qing Dynasty in her own hands. During the reign of the Empress Dowager Cixi, she quelled the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement and the Nian Army Uprising successively, launched a vigorous Westernization Movement, and continuously weakened Prince Gong. power.After these events, the Empress Dowager Cixi established her prestige and cultivated her own power. She was the actual helm of the Qing Dynasty at that time.

If Emperor Guangxu was more stable during the reform, communicated more with Empress Dowager Cixi first, won the support of Empress Dowager Cixi, and then truly established his own political team to carry out drastic reforms, the success rate would be greatly improved.

……

Compared with Chongzhen and Guangxu, Han Xiandi's comeback was the most difficult.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was promoted to the throne by Dong Zhuo when he was young and became Dong Zhuo's puppet emperor; after Dong Zhuo was killed, he became the puppet of Li Jue and Guo Si; after he escaped from Chang'an, he became the puppet of Cao Cao.

As a puppet emperor, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty had to risk his life to seize power from the powerful ministers who held heavy troops, and then he had to face the princes from all over the world one by one, which was too difficult.

However, Emperor Guangxu only needs to deal with Cixi to make a comeback, and Emperor Chongzhen only needs to do a good job of himself if he wants to make a comeback. This is much easier than Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

Subsequently.

Lin Feng was on the camera again, and asked the second question - "How much can the ability of Han Xiandi be scored (out of 10 points)?"

For things like scoring.

Netizens are naturally happy, after all, all they need to do is tap the keyboard.

"4 points! After all, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty didn't seem to have any outstanding achievements in his life."

"3 points is the most."

"If I were a historian, I would give it 3 points. If Emperor Han Xian had the backbone, maybe the score could be higher."

"After all, he is the last emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty. You don't give face? I give 6 points."

"1 point, no rebuttal accepted."

"I'll give you 4 points if you survive, it's still for the sake of the Han Dynasty."

"I'll give it 8 points. If we travel back, as Emperor Han Xian, how many points do you think you can get? Do you think you can do better than Emperor Han Xian?"

……

The final average score on the major mainstream websites.

Han Xiandi only scored a very poor 3.9 points.

Can be imagined.

In the eyes of modern people, the last emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty was so weak and unbearable.

Is the truth really like this?
A ray of light flew into a side hall of Xuchang Imperial City.

In a heavily guarded room, someone was sitting at the table, staring at the candlelight in a daze!
