Du Fu had a reason to say so.
Because of the previous question.
It was a situation that could happen when a country faced a disaster.
Although Guo Ziyi had already recovered Chang 'an and Luoyang, and the Great Tang was engaged in a decisive battle with the rebel army, the outcome of this battle was inconclusive.
It brought endless pain to the people of the Great Tang.
Du Fu himself had escaped from Chang 'an before. When he passed by places like Lan Zhou, he saw that the dynasty was not strong, but declining…The people had invested a lot in the war, but during the famine in Guanzhong, the imperial court did not organize disaster relief. Instead, they were left to fend for themselves, waiting for the disaster to pass and letting it go.
Compared to the disaster of the seventh question, this was truly a chaotic scene.
However, His Majesty the Emperor did not choose this answer. His words and actions were quite inconsistent.
"How long has it been since the founding of the Tang Dynasty?”
Du Fu's sigh made Gao Shi fall silent. Then, he asked a question.
"After Taizong, Gaozong, Zetian, Zhongzong, Xuanzong, and His Majesty…it has been almost 140 years.”Cen Shen calculated.
"How long was the Han Dynasty?" Gao Shi asked again.
"Two hundred and ten years." Du Fu replied that he was asking about the Western Han Dynasty, which was also called the former Han Dynasty.
"How long has it been since the Han Dynasty?" Gao Shi asked.
"One hundred and ninety-five years." Du Fu replied.
"How long was the previous dynasty?"
Du Fu and Cen Shen were silent. After a long time, Cen Shen said,"Counting from the day Yang Guang died, it has been 37 years.”
"In the 140th year of the Han Dynasty, which emperor was it?”Gao Shi asked again.
"Spirit Monarch Liu Hong?" Cen Shen guessed.
"Yes, it's Spirit Monarch Liu Hong." Du Fu confirmed.
Spirit Monarch.
37.
140.
195.
212.
The three great poets were even more silent when they heard these numbers. They even wondered if those people knew that they would die in the year 212 when the Han Dynasty reached the year 140.
In the year 195 of the Later Han Dynasty, when he was 1140 years old, it was already the time of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Liu Hong. The history of the Great Tang had been studied. The Later Han Dynasty had actually perished during the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and the Yellow Turban Army had appeared.
This comparison.
Wouldn't An Lushan and Shi Siming be birds of a feather with the Yellow Turban Army?
They had already entered chaos…and the Great Tang had entered a countdown.
Let's not talk about this. Let's talk about the choices in the examination hall…"
"Since the change of dynasties is a rule of history, we might as well see why dynasties will be destroyed.”
The heavy atmosphere was broken by Cen Shen.
Du Fu and Gao Shi both looked at this question.
"A peasant uprising caused by land annexation?”
"Land annexation, what is it?"
However, the first choice was beyond their understanding. However, this question was the correct answer to the question.
This was because almost all feudal dynasties died from the continuous annexation of land.
Whether it was the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, or the later Ming Dynasty, the versions were all too old. If they were not updated, the resources would be further concentrated on the ruling class.
In a feudal dynasty, land was a resource.
"Are you saying that the peasants will rebel when they lose their land?”They could only understand it literally. They knew a little about it because they had witnessed it before.
"It should be…"
"A peasant uprising is not enough to destroy a dynasty. Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, and even the Liu Cao Wu of the Three Kingdoms, as well as our dynasty, all relied on the aristocratic families to lead the army to overthrow the previous dynasty.”Gao Shi judged.
"Then what if my fate is over?"
"Even the heavens can't stand it anymore.”
"It's possible."
When Du Fu and the others saw this option, they all agreed.
"What about losing the hearts of the people?"
" That's true. The Duke of Wei said that water can carry a boat but it can also capsize it…"
"The fourth reason is that the enemy is too powerful.”
"It seems like that's possible."
After some discussion, they immediately felt that these choices were extremely dangerous to the entire dynasty. Every choice was a dead end.
What they needed to do was to choose one of these dead ends that suited their dynasty.
This question was actually beyond the scope.
No emperor could answer such a question before their time.
However, Qin Feng still took it out.
He wanted to activate the merits of the Chinese people's ability to summarize and patch up, and once again enlighten the commoners of these planes, as well as the emperor.
Because of this question, any keyboard warrior with a little experience could be selected.
He was cultivating the Emperor's sense of crisis.
Of course, this question was somewhat disadvantageous to the previous emperors because they did not have many examples to look for.
To the emperor behind him.
Especially for Zhu Yuanzhang, it was a bit of an advantage.
"Two Han Dynasties combined, four hundred and seven years.”
"212 years of the former Han Dynasty and 195 years of the later Han Dynasty.”
" Tang, two hundred and eighty-nine years."
"Song, three hundred and nineteen years."
"Northern Song Dynasty, year 167. Southern Song Dynasty, year 152.”
"I, Old Zhu, established the Great Ming Dynasty. No matter what, it took more than a hundred years! If there was also Nanming or Beiming, it would take at least 300 years.”
"Three hundred years is enough!"
"Three hundred years, how many descendants does my Zhu Clan have? He probably wouldn't die because he didn't have an heir.”
"In the past three hundred years, the Liu Clan has produced so many incompetent rulers…My Zhu Clan shouldn't be able to do so. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."
"A fatuous ruler, the hearts of the people…"
"It seems that my Zhu family's dynasty will most likely end up losing the hearts of the people. Sigh, all the dynasties that have been destroyed since ancient times have lost the hearts of the people.“
"Everyone says that we have to treat the commoners better. If the commoners can't survive, who would be willing to rebel?”
Zhu Yuanzhang analyzed the situation and combined it with his own experience. He had already obtained the answer in his heart. His Ming Dynasty had perished because of losing the hearts of the people.
He could only accept that his country had perished for this reason.
As for the peasant uprising, Zhu Yuanzhang had already written down the method to deal with it in his ancestral teachings. He was confident that his descendants could handle the peasant uprising well.
There was also the fact that the enemy was too powerful.
How was this possible?
Just fight!
His fate was over. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't believe in this!
Therefore, the only answer he could accept was to jump around and lose the hearts of the people.
Because he had also made a coincidence…Looking at all the long-lived dynasties, they were not destroyed by foreign enemies, heirs, or peasant uprisings. They were all destroyed by the people.
If he could capture the hearts of the people, the Ming Dynasty would last for at least 150 years. If it became the Southern and Northern Dynasties, then adding another 150 years, it would be at least 300 years.
Zhu Yuanzhang made this question into a calculation and competition question.
He, Zhu Yuanzhang, did not believe that his Ming Dynasty would be short-lived!
