What would he leave behind after his death?
This was another worrying problem.
I ask you, how much sorrow can you have? Like a river flowing eastward in spring.
At this moment, he looked at the last option of this question. A country, a poem, a painting…
Emperor Chongzhen unconsciously raised his head and looked at a graceful and scholarly emperor, Li Yu, the Latter Ruler of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Then, this poem appeared in his mind.
There was more.
Song Huizong Zhao Ji.
His calligraphy and the infamy he left behind after his death.
What would he leave behind after his death?
The infamy that would go down in history was certain.
He had ruined the Ming Dynasty.
But infamy?
He really did not leave anything behind.
Even a poem or a painting would be good.
Recalling his sixteen years as an emperor, Chongzhen realized that he was very sad.
In these sixteen years, he was either raising money for military expenses, changing officials, or dealing with government affairs. He was so busy that he did not even leave behind a poem or a painting.
After his death.
What was left behind for future generations was probably a fragmented country.
And that infamy that would go down in history.
At this moment, his practiced self-awareness made Chong Zhen smile bitterly. To be able to be an emperor like him, it was probably unprecedented.
No!
He was not dead yet.
Was he going to admit defeat just like that?
If he couldn't leave behind a poem or a painting, could he not leave behind something?
Emperor Chongzhen looked at the answer with a determined gaze." The integrity of the Chinese people.
At this moment, Lu Xiufu and Wen Tianxiang appeared in his mind. Since ancient times, who didn't die?
He raised his head and focused his gaze on Ancestor Zhu Di.
This emperor who died on a horse!
The descendants of the Zhu Clan, even if they died, they would die on the battlefield!
At this moment, Chong Zhen seemed to understand what integrity was.
He did not hesitate to choose C under the gazes of Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Huang Taiji, Zuo Liangyu, and the others. The integrity of the Chinese people.
After making his choice, Emperor Chongzhen was terrified.
Could he represent the integrity of the Chinese people?
No!
So what if he can't represent it? It's enough to show the integrity of my Zhu family's emperor!
The moment Emperor Chongzhen made his choice, Zhang Xianzhong and Huang Taiji immediately mocked him. How could you leave behind some integrity after your death?
These enemies naturally did not believe it.
On the other hand, Zuo Liangyu's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He seemed to have realized something in an instant.
Facing an Emperor who wanted to leave behind his integrity, the next Da Ming would probably…
Forget it, forget it.
" Since you can't leave anything behind, then leave your name. Your Majesty, if you can really make up your mind, I will accompany you." Zuo Liangyu stood up solemnly and then bowed devoutly in the direction of the Imperial Palace.
This question not only inspired Chongzhen.
It also made Zuo Liangyu seriously think about what he could leave behind after his death.
The answer he got was the same as Chongzhen's. Since he couldn't leave anything behind, he just left some integrity behind.
"A glorious achievement in the annals of history. Does Your Majesty's unification of the six countries count?”
"Yes, why not!"
"Your Majesty has once again stabilized the Central Plains and rebuilt the country! "Even if Great Qin does not pass this down to future generations, future generations will not be able to erase Your Majesty's achievements!”
"Then, what are you hesitating about, Your Majesty? You should choose this question directly. Your Majesty, let's go in the right direction. We will definitely write about your achievements!”
In the imperial palace of Xianyang, after seeing this question, some ministers began to consider how to write a biography of the First Emperor after they had accepted the fact that the First Emperor had passed away. Some historians, in particular, could not help but jump out, eager to give a final verdict on Ying Zheng's achievements.
What was rare was that Fu Su, Huhai, Li Si, Meng Yi, and Zhao Gao did not stop them.
Because they were also thinking about Qin Shihuang's achievements after his death and who would take over the position.
It had to be said that this question was very attractive, causing some people to let their imagination run wild.
Fortunately, the First Emperor was smart and didn't choose to ask for help outside the arena. Otherwise, he would have died of anger.
At this moment.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, almost died of anger.
Because he was more modest about this question, he chose to ask for help from the sidelines and let his minister summarize it.
At this moment.
The Great Han Imperial Palace.
"Your Majesty should choose the armor! Under the leadership of His Majesty, the two generals, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, defeated the Xiongnu. The civil officials did not stick to one style and promoted many talents. The Marquis Champion was an example. His literary talent and military strategy could leave a deep mark in the history books.”
"Don't you agree, Taishigong?" Prime Minister Shi Qing looked at Sima Qian.
Judging achievements naturally couldn't be avoided by Sima Qian, who was writing the historical records.
"Tell me, I'll remember."
Sima Qian ignored him because he saw the unhappy look on Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's face.
"That's not right, Prime Minister. I still think that His Majesty will leave behind the memories of the commoners. Compared to the so-called name left in history, what His Majesty needs is the memories of the commoners.”Imperial Censor Er Kuan argued.
"Lord son, this isn't right! Compared to being remembered by the people, it was more important to leave a name in history! Don't you know how badly Qin Shihuang was scolded? After we die, the people will also die. What's the point of remembering His Majesty's kindness?”Another minister also argued.
"There is also the integrity of the Chinese people. After we die, we will definitely follow His Majesty and leave behind the integrity of our strong men in the entire Chinese people! Those who offend our strong Han will be killed even if they are far away!" Wei Qing also had a different opinion.
For a moment.
The civil and military officials were divided into three factions and quarreled.
"Then after His Majesty dies…what temple name do you want to give His Majesty? The love of the people is the sacred emperor…"
"If we were to rank them according to their achievements, His Majesty would have long revealed that he wanted to use them…Taishigong, be more professional. After His Majesty dies, what temple name should he give?”
As they quarreled, the imperial censor got carried away. Once he said this, the entire hall fell silent.
Sima Qian held the pen and looked at Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty awkwardly.
"I'm not dead yet!"
Liu Che's face was black with anger, but he couldn't flare up. It couldn't be helped. This question was to discuss the situation after his death.
"Stop arguing! Sima Qian! How did you record me…I don't want to listen to their nonsense. Everything will be based on your historical records!”
He could only look at Sima Qian. He could finally tell that compared to these unreliable officials, Sima Qian was more reliable.
