When the emperor comes to modern times, history collapses!

Zhu Biao glanced around.

He didn't dare to look at anyone.

According to the evaluations that Zhu Biao saw, in addition to Yang Guang, there were others present whose historical evaluations were not as good as Qianlong.

But Zhu Biao didn't dare to say it, how embarrassing.

It can't even compare to a long braid.

"Yes, Uncle Yang is definitely better than him. My Ming History Book has helped Uncle Yang to rectify the chaos and restore his reputation. I, your nephew, also think that a mere braid is definitely not as good as Uncle Yang."

Of course, Zhu Biao was not at all nervous.

Let’s not talk about the Yang Guang in history. Now we are talking about the Yang Guang in front of us, who is definitely stronger than Qianlong.

Saying that we don't cherish the people's strength is a thing of the past.

Yang Guang was very concerned about his reputation and had come into contact with Zhu Ming early on.

At that time, the Sui Dynasty had not yet launched its three expeditions to Goryeo, and no major unrest had occurred. It cleaned up the aristocratic families in a timely manner, had courage and boldness, and with the help of Zhu Ming, it was one of the fastest developing dynasties.

According to the standards set by more than a dozen emperors, the overall evaluation every year ranked among the top three.

Among them, the people’s life happiness index is a rigid evaluation.

Yang Guang knew that in the original history, no matter whether he was slandered or not, there was definitely a person who did not cherish the people's strength.

Yang Guang himself admitted that he did not care much about the people in the past.

For the sake of his own great cause, Yang Guang felt it was worth it even at the cost of the lives of the people.

After coming into contact with other people and seeing them comparing themselves with each other, Yang Guang knew he had to change.

I often feel fortunate that I had come into contact with Zhu Mingzao early, and that I had food and money at that time, which provided great help to Zhuge Liang, Qin Shihuang and Han Wudi and others. I guess we wouldn't be in the situation today.

If I had met Zhu Ming now, I would definitely be the one being replaced.

In order to change his usual image, Yang Guang began to roll up.

The Sui Dynasty had not yet fallen into chaos at that time, and the country was relatively stable. After the evil tumor of the aristocratic families had been cleared out, there was sufficient money and grain, and welfare was continuously provided to the people. Various policies were introduced, which quickly changed the people's views of themselves.

From sneering at Li Yuan's propaganda to now strongly agreeing with it.

This made Yang Guang very pleased.

Every time he went on a parade, the people would spontaneously line the streets to welcome him, which made Yang Guang very happy and he enjoyed it more and more.

Zhu Biao visited Daye and Sui, and two words immediately popped up in his mind: "prosperous age"

The more I learned about the various systems implemented by Yang Guang, the more I admired him.

The free medical care, free education, pension system, etc. are among the best among the dozen or so emperors.

The Hongwu Ming Dynasty also wanted to keep up, but lack of money was a major flaw.

Hearing Zhu Biao's affirmation, Yang Guang laughed out loud: "See? Xiao Zhu has already said that I, Yang Guang, will definitely not lose to the big braided guy. It must be you guys, but Xiao Zhu doesn't dare to say it."

The First Emperor snorted coldly: "Qin Emperor, Han Emperor, Tang Emperor, Song Emperor, I always win first, it's definitely not me."

Emperor Jing of Han smiled slightly and said: "Let's not talk about other things. The reign of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing speaks for itself."

"My reign of Kaihuang also explains everything. Li Yuan, I don't think you can do it. You are an unknown person in history. You must be the one who became emperor by relying on your son."

Facing his uncle Yang Jian, Li Yuan had a great trauma in his childhood: "Uncle, I am the founding emperor. I created the Tang Dynasty. It was definitely not me."

Li Shimin smiled slightly: "I don't need to say anything. If I didn't respect my ancestors, I would dare to say that the Qin Emperor and Han Emperor mentioned by Zheng Ge were arranged in chronological order."

Li Zhi shook his head: "It's definitely not me. It seems that I am at the top of the Tang Dynasty's territory."

"It's definitely not me. I inherited the Zhenguan Period and started the Kaiyuan Period."

"Song Zu is talking about me, no doubt about it."

Zhao Dezhao scratched his head and said, "It's definitely not me. I have never been an emperor in history. Even if I were an emperor, I think I would be able to open a family tree. There is no emperor in history that cannot be taught in two classes."

Old Zhu chuckled and said, "I, Old Zhu, also had a Hongwu reign. It was during this time that we drove the Tartars out and the Han people regained control of this land."

"The Yongle Era, I don't need to tell you what a prosperous era is, none of you can do it, alas, not even one of you can fight."

"I also want to keep a low profile, but reality doesn't allow it!"

The two Zhu Dis puffed out their chests and slapped each other.

The two Zhu Gaochi held their heads high and said, "Although the Yongle Era was under the name of our father, I governed it. The one that Qiangye Shengzu was talking about was me."

Everyone's eyes turned to the two Zhu Qiyu.

Zhu Qiyu's mouth twitched: "The emperor guards the country's gate, you are just talking about it, I am really guarding the gate, preventing the Ming Dynasty from being divided into the Southern Ming and the Northern Ming. I don't think you are talking about me."

Old Zhu snorted coldly: "That was Yu Qian's achievement. What did you do afterwards? Don't you have any idea?"

Wan Chao Zhu Di nodded: "You didn't even have a good governance, and you were driven out of power by Zhu Qizhen. If you had a choice at that time, would it have been your turn?"

Yongle Zhu Di echoed: "I have also heard about your deeds. Don't quibble. I am talking about you. You are not even as good as a big braid. The two of us in the Ming Dynasty were abandoned. Look at the three of us. Which one of us is not a famous figure!"

The First Emperor patted Zhu Qiyu and said, "My child, you must face up to your shortcomings and work hard to make progress."

"Yes, as long as you work hard in the future, you may be able to catch up with us." Emperor Wu of Han said earnestly.

"Just because you can't do it now doesn't mean you can't do it in the future. I have high hopes for you. If you have any questions, you can come and ask me." Yang Jian patted Zhu Qiyu and said.

"With me, the greatest emperor of all time, teaching you, maybe you can become the God of War of the Ming Dynasty!" Li Shimin continued.

Lao Zhao felt that he had to say a few words as well: "Knowing shame leads to courage. You still have great potential!"

Zhu Qiyu's shoulders felt numb. According to the historical order, he would be the last one to appear.

As for Zhu Ming, not to mention that there was no Great Dragon Dynasty before, even if there was, Zhu Qiyu did not dare to say it.

"Don't worry, uncles and aunts, I will definitely work hard in the future." Seeing this, the others stroked their beards and said with satisfaction: "This young man is teachable!"

Zhu Qi looked at Zhu Biao and said, "Little great grandfather, can you tell me about Qianlong's deeds and see what kind of quality this braid is?"

Zhu Biao nodded: "No problem."

As he said this, he took out his cell phone from his pocket.

My mobile phone can’t access the Internet in Daming, but it’s no problem here.

After searching for information, he said, "Xiaodu, Xiaodu, tell me something about Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty."

A voice came from the phone:

Qianlong was the emperor who actually held power for the longest time in Chinese history. In fact, Qianlong was also the emperor who ruled the longest in world history. Emperor Qianlong held absolute power for 64 years and never shared it with others for a single day.

At the same time, he was also the longest-lived emperor in the unified dynasty in Chinese history - 89 years old.

At the same time, he is the biggest autocratic dictator in the history of our country.

"Damn it, I'm not happy to hear that."

"64 years, one person lives longer than all of us put together."

"Humph, the 89-year-old in history will definitely not be there this time. How old he can live depends on how old the one you have locked up is."

He ascended the throne at the age of 25 and demonstrated extraordinary political wisdom. Whether it was the Manchu minister Ortai, or Zhang Tingyu, the only Han minister in the Qing Dynasty who was entitled to be enshrined in the Taimiao, or later Liu Yong, Heshen, Fu Kang'an and Agui, they were all deeply impressed by Emperor Qianlong's extremely clever way of controlling his subjects. Almost no subject could deceive Emperor Qianlong. The 64 years of absolute power severely suppressed the initiative and creativity of the people and even the bureaucracy, which not only strengthened but also rigidified the autocratic system, but also created huge obstacles for future development.

During the reign of Emperor Qianlong, my country's military power flourished and its territory expanded, laying the foundation for the modern territory of our country.

The management of the border areas was Qianlong's greatest achievement. During his reign, he deployed military forces many times, including suppressing the Miao rebellion in Guzhou, launching the Battle of Zhandui, the Battle of Jinchuan, the Battle of Tibet, the Battle of Dzungar, the Battle of the Southern Tianshan Mountains, the Battle of Lin Wenshuang in Taiwan, the Qing-Myanmar War, the Gurkha War, and the Qing-Vietnam War. Eventually, the Qing Dynasty's most prosperous territory was formed, which extended from the Greater Khingan Range and Sakhalin Island in the northeast to the Pamir Mountains and Lake Balkhash in the northwest, from Kyakhta in the north to NSQD in the south. From this respect, Emperor Qianlong's contribution to our country is absolutely worthy of recognition.

However, his military achievements were not all about justice and good fortune. There was a lot of killing in the process of territorial expansion. Many of the ten military achievements that Emperor Qianlong boasted about were just for show. He suffered heavy casualties in the battles in Burma and Annan, and in the end, the other side took the initiative to negotiate peace because they were intimidated by the strength of the Qing government. Although the second expedition to Jinchuan was of great significance, it also resulted in huge losses and an unfair victory.

As the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Qianlong attached great importance to culture to a degree rarely seen in history.

During his reign, he ordered the compilation of more than one hundred official books, including important works such as "History of Ming Dynasty".

What is even more striking is that he personally led and promoted the compilation of the large-scale documentary series "Siku Quanshu".

This huge set of works includes many ancient books from the pre-Qin period to the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, covering almost every important academic field in ancient my country. This move undoubtedly provides a valuable source of information for later scholars to study ancient culture.

Qianlong's own cultural literacy was also unmatched. Having received a good education since childhood, he was familiar with ancient Chinese classics.

In addition, his language talent is amazing, not only is he proficient in Manchu, Chinese and Mongolian, but he is also proficient in Tibetan and Uyghur, which is rare among emperors of all dynasties.

At the same time, Qianlong was also a literary giant, writing more than 40,000 poems in his lifetime, becoming one of the most prolific poets in the world. Even though he lived to be 89 years old, such an astonishing number of creations is still shocking.

However, Qianlong's impact on cultural development was like a flood and brought immeasurable obstacles.

In order to consolidate ideological control, they carried out literary inquisitions on a massive scale like a violent storm, creating more than 130 cases.

This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the enthusiasm of intellectuals and brought a heavy disaster to our country's culture.

During the process of compiling the Siku Quanshu, many books that were not conducive to the rule of the Qing Dynasty were listed as banned books and destroyed like withered flowers and withered willows, causing countless precious classics to disappear forever like meteors. The destructive power of this on culture is self-evident.

Although Qianlong personally wrote a large number of poems, because he was too eager to show off his literary talent like a peacock spreading its tail, the quality of his works was mixed, and there were almost no popular masterpieces handed down from generation to generation.

As the founder of the Kangxi and Qianlong eras, the last golden age of Chinese feudal society, Qianlong's achievements are indelible.

It attached great importance to business development and adopted a policy as relaxed as a spring breeze, which promoted economic prosperity.

Financial institutions sprang up like mushrooms during the Qianlong period, and the country's fiscal revenue increased steadily since the 28th year of Qianlong's reign, reaching a peak of more than 80 million taels of silver.

At the same time, Qianlong also paid great attention to agricultural production, reducing national taxes many times, and even exempting eight provinces from paying grain taxes three times. Under his rule, the population increased rapidly like a snowball, reaching a staggering 3.6 million.

However, starting from the late Qianlong period, the economy of the Qing Dynasty seemed to be on a downward slide.

This was mainly because in the late Qianlong period he was still immersed in the beautiful dream of the Celestial Empire and had no idea that the world had undergone tremendous changes.

Since the time of Emperor Qianlong, the country has been completely closed to the outside world, with only Guangzhou left as an opening for trade with the outside world. The Thirteen Hongs were allowed to monopolize the business and the types of goods entering and leaving the country were strictly controlled.

This strict policy of closing the country to the outside world is an important reason why our country is gradually falling behind the West.

It can be said that Qianlong bears a great responsibility for my country's backwardness in modern times.

Moreover, Emperor Qianlong made six trips to the south of the Yangtze River, which cost a lot. In addition, he lived a very luxurious life and cared particularly about his own enjoyment. This led to the country's financial resources becoming increasingly exhausted in the middle and late Qianlong period.

The emperor present was shocked and angry when he heard this.

What is shocking is that this man with a long braid has achieved more and better things than imagined, which is completely different from the previous impression of the Qing Dynasty.

The impression we have of the Qing Dynasty is that it ceded territory, paid compensation, and signed treaties.

What is infuriating is that the policy of closing the country to the outside world prevented China from keeping up with the trend of the times, which ultimately led to a series of humiliations.

"It feels a little unreal. Is there an emperor in the Qing Dynasty who can fight a war?"

"I think it might be because of the changes in the history books. It just feels a bit weird."

"Even you, Li Shimin, said that history was changed, so it must be true. You are an expert in this area."

"No matter what, the Qing Dynasty oppressed and enslaved the Han people and classified them as inferior, so they should be killed."

"Why can't the Manchus and the Han intermarry? That's outrageous!"

When it comes to dynasties ruled by foreign races, the emperors present had a common idea: they must be overthrown and replaced by Han people. As for whether they are wise or foolish rulers, the only thing that matters is whether they are killed or not.

Old Zhu snorted coldly, "A man with a long braid suddenly appeared who has both good and bad reputations. Biao'er, are you talking about that corrupt official Heshen? I hate corrupt officials the most. If Xiao Zhu calls him a corrupt official, we want to see how much he has embezzled, whether he has tens of millions of taels of silver!"

"Ten million taels of silver, that doesn't seem likely. It's probably just a few million." The First Emperor said slowly.

"I think so too. After all, Emperor Qianlong seems to be quite shrewd. It's already pretty good to be able to embezzle several million taels under him."

"If Qianlong was incompetent, he might have made 60 million taels, but since he was able to stay in power for more than years, we have to admit that he couldn't have done it if he wasn't smart enough."

Zhu Ming sneered: "Several million taels, tens of millions of taels of silver, you are underestimating Heshen too much, and you are also underestimating the famous corrupt officials in history. First of all, the unit is wrong. Tens of millions of taels of small money may not be taken seriously by Heshen. On average, a few months is enough." (End of this chapter)
