In the history that Su Che knew.
Zhu Yuanzhang had two major regrets in his life. The first was the death of Empress Ma, and the second was the death of his eldest son Zhu Biao.
These two relatives whom he cared about most died before him, which plunged him into extreme pain and caused him to go completely crazy in his later years.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that those civil officials like to commit suicide.
For example, the North and South List case that occurred in Zhu Yuanzhang's later years was purely the result of a group of literati who loved to commit suicide.
Or they thought that Zhu Yuanzhang was really old and had forgotten the butcher knife he had wielded, so they dared to jump back and forth on Zhu's bottom line.
A founding monarch who killed so many officials is still despised by the civil service group. Not killing them would be a shame to them.
The essence of the North-South List case concerns the major issue of stability in the North and is an issue at the national level, not simply a matter of admitting some talented people to be officials.
Before the North-South List case occurred, people from both the North and the South had been on the list in the previous few times, but no one was included in the North-South List. This matter in itself was outrageous.
To put it bluntly, seeing that the emperor was already very old, they tried to challenge his authority.
After learning about this, Zhu Yuanzhang did not take up the butcher knife , but asked for a review and gave a chance.
Zhu Yuanzhang issued an edict to set up a 12-member "investigation team". He ordered the imperial tutor Zhang Xin, the imperial lecturer Dai Yi, the right minister Wang Junhua, the chief judge Zhang Qian, and other twelve people to form a special task force to conduct a review.
Zhu Yuanzhang's meaning was very straightforward: just recruit a few more northern candidates to calm the situation.
But the result.
These groups of literati are really stupid and evil. They not only brought about their own destruction, but also implicated the candidates who passed the imperial examinations in the south.
Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude from the beginning was to strike a balance and deal with this problem which was not a problem.
As a result, these officials said, "The examination papers submitted after review are of high quality in both literature and science," and "Judging from the level of the candidates, the 51 admitted were all admitted on the basis of their talents and there is no problem."
Don’t these officials know that the essence of this matter has nothing to do with real talent or literary talent?
No, of course they do.
After serving as an official for so many years, if he doesn't even understand this basic principle, then all his work would be in vain.
But they chose to challenge the emperor's authority.
So many times, it’s no wonder that Zhu Yuanzhang is sharpening his knife to attack officials.
It’s really these officials’ fault for being so fond of committing suicide.
During the reign of Emperor Jianwen, this group of civil servants became even more wild.
In the second year of Jianwen, Hu Guang, Wang Gen and Li Guan from Ji'an Prefecture in Jiangxi Province won the top three places in the imperial examination.
This was also true during the reign of Zhu Di.
In the second year of Yongle, talented people from Ji'an Prefecture in Jiangxi Province took the top seven places in the imperial examination.
Although many people say that there was no cheating in these imperial examinations and that these were normal results and should be treated normally, the problem is that the nature of the North and South List cases has nothing to do with cheating in the imperial examinations.
This matter concerns regional discrimination between the North and the South, and is an essential issue at the level of national unification.
Perhaps in the eyes of future generations, there seems to be no difference between the South and the North, they are all China.
But this is a fixed mindset of great unification.
In fact, at this point in the Ming Dynasty, this was not the case at all.
Before the Ming Dynasty, it was the Yuan Dynasty.
In order to maintain the autocratic rule of the Mongolian nobles, the Yuan Dynasty adopted the policy of "dividing the people into four classes", dividing the people into four classes: first-class Mongolians, second-class Semites, third-class Han people, and fourth-class southerners.
The so-called Han people do not all refer to people of the Han nationality, but refer to the people in the area north of the Huai River. The Han, Khitan, and Jurchen peoples of the former Jin Dynasty, the Dali people in the south, and the Koreans in the northeast were all called "Han people" by the Mongols.
In other words, it means "northerners".
The southerners refer to the people in the areas ruled by the Southern Song Dynasty.
Since the Tang Dynasty, the Song and Yuan Dynasties have been divided. It has been too long since the Han dynasty was unified, so the Han group has been completely divided. People in the south and the north discriminate against and target each other, and regard each other as enemies.
Although the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were all eccentric, it can be said that the Ming Dynasty made immeasurable contributions to the cause of "restoring China".
For Chinese civilization, this was a very important rescue. Although it was not particularly successful, it was quite good.
If there had been no Ming Dynasty, Chinese civilization would most likely have continued to fragment.
In short, at this point in the early Ming Dynasty, after the Chinese civilization was once again unified, there were too many things that Zhu Yuanzhang needed to do.
All the obstacles that stood in Lao Zhu's way were destroyed by him.
Unfortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang did not complete the task very well.
This time, the opportunity appeared in front of Su Che, and he wanted to try to complete the things that Lao Zhu had not completed!
Not long.
Crown Prince Zhu Biao came into the hall.
At that time, Zhu Biao was very young and had no health problems. He was also handsome and had a serious and steady personality. He had an awe-inspiring demeanor and looked like an emperor. He had the same demeanor as Zhu Yuanzhang when he was young. No wonder Zhu Yuanzhang liked him so much.
"Your son greets you, father!" Zhu Biao saluted seriously.
"Come, Biao'er, come here quickly." Su Che waved his hand, and like Zhu Yuanzhang usual, he did not make any abnormal movements.
After each simulation and personal intervention, Su Che can inherit all the memories and habits of the original owner, so nothing will be discovered to be wrong.
Some of these habits are not even something Su Che himself has, but they appear to be very natural when done, and there is no sense of incongruity at all.
If this is not the case, it won't take long for people around you to notice something is wrong after interfering.
Fortunately, simulated interference does not present this problem.
And when the simulation is over, these habits will disappear.
It can be said to be very magical.
Looking at Zhu Biao walking over, Su Che couldn't help but think.
At this point in time, Empress Ma had already died, and the dead could not be resurrected, but Crown Prince Zhu Biao was still alive.
If we could save the crown prince Zhu Biao from death and allow him to succeed to the throne, history would have completely changed its direction...
At that time, Zhu Di would never dare to rebel. If he met the bewitching black-robed monk, he would probably chop him with a knife - You want me to rebel against my brother? Are you kidding? Where did this evil monk come from? You deserve to die!
Thinking of this scene, Su Che couldn't help but smile faintly.
If you can change these.
Although this point cannot completely gain Zhu Yuanzhang's approval, it is at least a plus!
At this moment, Zhu Biao walked over. Su Che pulled Zhu Biao to sit beside him and took his pulse.
"Father? This..." Zhu Biao was a little confused. How could his father feel his pulse? When did his father learn medicine? Why didn't he know? ?
"Don't worry, this is the latest pulse diagnosis we have learned. It is much better than those quack doctors in the Imperial Hospital!" Su Che said with a smile.
Su Che has the skill point of medical skills.
Although he doesn't use it often.
Even let it go for a long time...
But he did not forget, and it was impossible for him to forget, because he had the gift of photographic memory!
As early as the first simulation, when Su Che imitated Zhang Jiao, he already knew some medical skills.
At the beginning, Zhang Jiao used talisman water to treat diseases, which was essentially using medicine to treat diseases and had nothing to do with talismans.
In the second simulation, Su Che's target was Zhang Zhongjing, who had studied medical skills for a long time.
Although he is not particularly good or a miracle doctor, he is at least much more reliable than those doctors in Zhu Yuanzhang's Imperial Medical Bureau!
The imperial physicians of the Ming Dynasty were notoriously unreliable.
In the history that Su Che knew.
The most bizarre imperial physician even killed two emperors!
This man's name is Liu Wentai.
This man is an imperial physician, but he is not even proficient in herbal medicine!
Emperor Hongzhi ordered him to proofread the Materia Medica, but he actually requested that the Hanlin Academy be responsible for it instead.
This made the cabinet minister Liu Jian so angry that he wrote a petition to protest: "How can a poet be a proofreader for a doctor?"
But he was good at scheming and had many connections, so he had a successful career, rising from an ordinary imperial physician to the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau, and then from the director to the envoy of the hospital.
In the 23rd year of Chenghua, Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Jianshen, was seriously ill. Liu Wentai participated in the rescue work, but of course, he was unsuccessful.
Historical records record that Liu Wentai took the wrong medicine, which led to the death of Emperor Xianzong.
In other words, the reason why Zhu Jianshen died was because Liu Wentai prescribed the wrong medicine. This was definitely murder of the emperor and a heinous crime.
Han Chong, the Minister of Rites, submitted a memorial to impeach Liu Wentai, saying that he "employed a mediocre doctor in a high position without authorization" and caused the death of Emperor Xianzong, and that he should be beheaded in public.
However, after Zhu Jianshen was killed by Liu Wentai, his son Zhu Youtang, Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty, ascended the throne. Logically speaking, since his father was killed by a quack doctor, Zhu Youtang should severely punish Liu Wentai.
But I don't know whether he was too soft-hearted or too weak-willed, or whether he really thought Liu Wentai did a great job.
He did not kill Liu Wentai, but demoted him to the fifth rank of Imperial Medical Judge. Such a punishment could be said to be minimal.
He killed the emperor with his medical treatment. Not only did he not have to be beheaded, he didn't even have to go to jail. He could even have a stable job as a royal doctor, but he was demoted.
You can imagine how weird this matter is.
After Zhu Youtang let Liu Wentai go, he never dreamed that his life would be lost at his hands soon after.
After Liu Wentai was demoted, he actively used his connections and in just five years, he became the fourth-rank imperial physician. Then Zhu Youtang's health problems fell into his hands.
One day, the eunuch announced to the civil and military officials, the general meaning of which was: Zhu Youtang had a cold and needed to rest for a few days, so everyone should do what they should do and not worry.
As soon as these words came out, the hearts of those old ministers began to beat fast!
There is no other reason. Zhu Youtang’s father, Zhu Jianshen, said the same thing before he passed away!
Such familiar words!
But the old ministers were doubtful in their hearts and did not dare to say anything. If they said anything, it would be like cursing the dragon's body, which is a serious crime.
But things are always surprisingly similar.
A few days later, another bad news came - Zhu Youtang was on his deathbed!
Before the ministers could react, Zhu Youtang died immediately!
The emperor is dead again!
All the ministers were stunned and shocked, and hurried to find someone to be held accountable.
This investigation was shocking, it turned out that the imperial physician Liu Wentai had prescribed the wrong medicine again!
He killed another emperor!
He killed two emperors with his medical skills! !
This achievement is truly unprecedented and will never be surpassed.
When Zhu Houzhao, the Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty, came to power, he immediately dealt with the quack doctor who killed his grandfather and father and put him in death row. He would never allow him to kill him again!
result.
Xie Qian and Li Dongyang of the cabinet argued and saved Liu Wentai.
Because Xie Qian and Li Dongyang were the most trusted ministers of Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty and had great influence, thanks to the relationship between these two people, Liu Wentai was able to have a good end in exile to Guangxi.
Every time Su Che saw these strange things in the Ming Dynasty, he couldn't help but feel a headache.
Fortunately, Su Che himself knows medical skills and does not need to seek advice from these outrageous doctors.
After taking Zhu Biao's pulse, Su Che had a general understanding of his physical problems.
"If you lift or press the Cun, Guan, and Chi parts, you will feel weak. This is a sign of a weak pulse, which is mostly caused by insufficient Qi and blood or deficiency of internal organs." Su Che said slowly, then stared at Zhu Biao and said earnestly:
"Biao'er, you feel a little weak!"
"Ah???" Zhu Biao was somewhat confused after hearing this. Did his father really find out something wrong with his pulse?
"Father, I am here to promote reforms," ​​Zhu Biao said hurriedly. This was the real business.
"Those are just small things, Biaoer, have you been very tired recently?" Su Che asked.
In the original history.
Why did Crown Prince Zhu Biao die mysteriously and before Zhu Yuanzhang?
This is an unsolved mystery.
How Zhu Biao died is not recorded in the History of Ming Dynasty and the Ming Shilu.
According to the analysis of existing historical materials, the mainstream view is that Zhu Biao died of exhaustion!
Starting from the tenth year of Hongwu, Zhu Biao began to take charge of the government and help deal with all matters big and small.
When he was appointed crown prince in the first year of Hongwu, he was only thirteen years old.
Zhu Biao's physique was far inferior to that of Zhu Yuanzhang, who had experienced a rebellion.
Only three years after Zhu Biao took over the government, the Hu Weiyong case broke out and Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the position of prime minister.
From then on, to a certain extent, Zhu Biao became half emperor and half prime minister.
Excessive overtime work, stress and fatigue, and the need to indulge oneself occasionally to relieve stress, overdraw the body and inevitably suffer from major and minor illnesses. In essence, they are similar to those social animals who die from working overtime for 996.
Zhu Yuanzhang was too harsh on himself and on the emperors who came after him. In order to centralize power, the emperor had too much workload. Zhu Yuanzhang could handle it, but it was different for others, not even Zhu Biao. He could not handle it at all.
Zhu Di was the same. In order to fight the war, he made his fat son exhausted!
"It's true that I've been very busy lately, but I can handle it." Zhu Biao said with a smile. He was certainly tired, but as the crown prince, how could he easily say he was tired in front of such a strong father?
"Biao'er, I've figured out something recently." Su Che shook his head and spoke slowly.
"What's the matter?" Zhu Biao asked subconsciously.
"The power of one person has its limits. Even if we have the power to change the world, it is impossible to govern the world by ourselves." Su Che said seriously.
"We abolished the prime minister in order to centralize power, and more importantly, to suppress those literati groups and let them know who is in charge of the world."
"But if you lose something because of it, it's not worth it."
"So, I thought about it for a long time and finally came to a conclusion."
"After abolishing the prime minister system, we should not take on all the responsibilities ourselves."
"If we take on all the responsibilities, the emperors in the future will probably not be as capable as us, so the prime minister will still appear. Even if he is not called the prime minister at that time, he will probably still exist in name only!"
"So rather than completely abolishing the prime minister, let him exist in name only."
"It would be better to create a better system! Completely replace the original prime minister system!"
