Simulates history, but Chongzhen is the Divine Emperor at the beginning

Chapter 10: The great grandson of Li is famous in the whole family!

"Okay, okay, after the multiple-choice questions, there's still the essay questions... This isn't a world line simulation system at all, it's clearly a top student exam simulator!"

Looking at this ridiculous essay, Zhou Liang was powerless to complain, and the requirements of the essay topic made him even more nervous:

"Also... what does it mean that he thinks he's not smooth and vulgar enough, so he's worried that he can't write it? If he can't write it, does that mean I can? Am I really vulgar?!"

After being angry for a long time, Zhou Liang finally calmed down. While complaining, he began to analyze the problem seriously...

The main theme of the article is obviously "gratitude" and "loyalty". Although Zhou Liang considers himself not a despicable and flattering person, he is still very good at writing after years of struggling in the world.

Isn't it just flattery? The old scholar is as familiar as can be!

So after just a little thought, Zhou Liang came up with many possible topics:
For example, "Grandpa Divine Emperor Tames the Weather," "Grandpa Divine Emperor Flies and Hidden Gems," and "Grandpa Divine Emperor Uses the Technique of Shrinking the Earth"...

There are so many texts about gratitude anyway, why not just pick two?
but……

"No."

Zhou Liang shook his head and muttered to himself:
"Although these articles are very kind, they are, after all, simple texts for elementary school students. Their content is too shallow, and their writing is too childish. They are not worthy of my status as a scholar..."

Just because a younger student can write "The Divine Emperor strangled 100,000 bandits with a hemp rope" doesn't mean a scholar with a degree can also write like this. After all, if a student writes like this, it can be considered that "the words are childish, but the meaning is sincere", but if a scholar writes like this, he will easily be ridiculed as writing with the style of an elementary school student!
"So, I have to be more sophisticated in my rainbow farts..."

But how to blow it? What to blow?

Zhou Liangfu's heart:

"Got it! Show off your achievements!"

During the Ming Dynasty, were there any people who were completely corrupted?
Or let me ask this, is there anyone who has been labeled a "despicable traitor" by the Divine Emperor himself, and who will never be allowed to have his conviction overturned?
Of course there are, and there are three!
Chongzhen: I have experienced three betrayals!

One is Li Zicheng, one is Zhang Xianzhong, and the other is the whole family of Qing Lao Aijia...

Li Zicheng, the number one rebel leader of the Ming Dynasty, his greatest achievement was to break through the capital Shuntian Prefecture and defeat Chongzhen, who had not yet become a god, into despair and hang himself on the old crooked tree on Coal Hill!

Zhang Xianzhong was the number one rebel leader in the Ming Dynasty. His greatest achievement was destroying the Zhongdu Fengyang City and digging up the Zhu family's ancestral tomb. When the news reached the capital, Chongzhen was so angry that he cried!

It goes without saying that he loves his family... Ever since Ye Zhupi rebelled during the Wanli reign, which Ming emperor hadn't suffered at the hands of his family? The entire Ming Dynasty's elite troops were almost wiped out by the Eight Banners...

Therefore, after the Divine Emperor ascended to the throne, these three families died the most miserably, and even their reputations during their lifetime and after their death were all tarnished, to the point that cursing these three families almost became the political benchmark of the Ming Dynasty.

Among them, Li Zicheng was the first to be killed, and the slander he suffered afterwards was the most severe...

"More importantly, Li Zicheng is not only from northern Shaanxi, but also from my hometown, Mizhi County. It's absolutely appropriate to use him as an excuse!"

Zhou Liang knew Li Zicheng very well and knew that the Yongchang Emperor was actually a very good person. He could even be regarded as a true hero, which was extremely rare on the insect stage in the late Ming Dynasty!
He had military discipline, ideals, and popular support. If it weren't for his shallow foundation and the disastrous defeat at "Yipi Shi", he would have had a great chance of founding a new dynasty.

But history is so cruel. Not only was he ultimately defeated and killed in the original historical line, but even in this strange historical line of the God Emperor, he failed, and even more miserably than before. This time, he was directly beaten to pieces by the resurrected God Emperor with a single punch...

In fact, Zhang Xianzhong, like Li Zicheng, also started an uprising in Mizhi County, northern Shaanxi, so he was also an absolute "unspeakable person" in the Ming Dynasty. It's just that Zhang Xianzhong had a bad reputation to begin with, so he had no psychological burden when everyone criticized him!
It was precisely because these two fellow villagers were labeled "absolute traitors" by the Ming Dynasty that the people of Mizhi County and even the entire northern Shaanxi Province were terrified of them and were quick to cut ties with them, fearing that they would be seen as accomplices of the traitors...

"If I want to become famous overnight, then I can take advantage of this political trend of [blackening Li] and [blackening Zhang], seize the disloyalty mentality of this county and even northern Shaanxi, and express my loyalty to the Ming Dynasty and the Divine Emperor, and thank them for their kindness... Yeah, the effect will definitely be good!"

"It's just... I hope Li Chuangwang can forgive me for smearing him. After all, I can't help it... I really want to improve..."

Zhou Liang silently apologized to the spirit of Li Zicheng in his heart:
"Don't blame me, King Chuang. When I overthrow the Ming Dynasty, I will restore your reputation... I hope you will endure the humiliation for a while. I want to make the sun and the moon bright and then return to darkness..."

(Jiang Wei: You are adding unnecessary details to my famous saying by changing it arbitrarily!)

(Li Chuang: I think there's nothing wrong with it. Calm down, big brother. The little kid is ignorant and is just playing around...)
(King Daixi: ...Does no one care about my reputation? Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill!)
(Lao Aijia: ...tears in my eyes, I don’t even deserve a name.)
……

In short, after determining the core and direction of what he wanted to write, Zhou Liang began to write excitedly.

Soon, an article of gratitude written by the old scholar came out smoothly!

The article focuses on the word "gratitude" and uses the traitor Li Zicheng and Xian Ni as examples and targets of criticism, launching a righteous and stern criticism:

First of all, Li Chuang was criticized for not knowing how to be grateful!
"If you think the Ming Dynasty is bad, then you should build it up instead of making sarcastic remarks and inciting the people to rebel..."

"The current emperor is both a man of virtue and martial prowess, sweeping across the world with boundless merit, yet Li Chuang is obsessed with a simple matter of forced taxation... Do you find it so amusing? The Mongolian grasslands aren't covered, so why don't you just go to the northern desert?"

"Instead of being content to starve to death, you're trying to imitate a praying mantis. How ridiculous!"

Then came the charges against him:
"Furthermore, I've heard from unofficial history that Li Chuang was extravagant and lived a luxurious life. Even to light a fire for cooking, he had servants use Western lenses to focus sunlight... He once burned tens of thousands of pounds of charcoal in one go, boiling an entire pool of water for his own bathing. It's comparable to the wine pools and meat forests of Jie and Zhou!"

"There's also a Western delicacy called 'Wine-Filled Chocolate'. To satisfy his craving, Li Chuang paid a fortune for it, buying seventy or eighty boxes at once. He was so extravagant, he had no regard for the suffering of the people..." "In short, Li Chuang's guilt is irrefutable!"

And the classic necromancer Zhang Xianzhong:

"And looking at Xian Ni, he is no less terrible!"

"Xian Ni took pleasure in killing people. When he entered Sichuan, he killed more than 400 million men and women. This is truly an atrocity that has angered heaven and people!"

"According to unofficial historical records, the reason Xian Ni went on a killing spree was simply because he ran out of toilet paper, so he plucked a handful of nettles to wipe his wounds... The pain made him so angry that he exclaimed: Even the grass in Shuchuan is bad grass, there are indeed no good people in Shuchuan! So he slaughtered them all..."

"Chuang and Xian are two thieves. They have no regard for their king, their father, their people, or their children. They only care about their own selfish interests! Wherever their evil hands extend, the people there will be destroyed..."

Finally, the cutting and loyalty:

"As a fellow countryman of the two thieves, Chuang and Xian, even though I am young, I am deeply ashamed!"

"In this life, I only wish that the Ming Dynasty will last for thousands of years, and that the Divine Emperor will live forever. For the Ming Dynasty and the Divine Emperor, I am willing to serve you to the bitter end, even to the last drop of my blood!"

"I'm so moved, my eyes are filled with tears! The Ming Dynasty's kindness is not over yet!"

"loyalty!"

After writing the article, Zhou Liang was so moved that he cried...

So loyal! So kind!
It completely aligns with the official mainstream ideology of the Ming Dynasty. It is as great and glorious as it can be... The only flaw is that if this article is read by someone who knows the details of the events of that time, it would be extremely difficult to keep up...

"Okay, send!"

[Ding! The article has been received and is being transmitted...]

【…】

You're sitting at your desk, pondering how to write this essay to best meet your master's requirements. Suddenly, a flood of text messages floods into your mind, leaving you completely bewildered!

[This... am I really that inspired? Am I so confident?]

[With doubt in your heart, you begin to read this "inspirational" article carefully, and then... you almost can't hold it in! ]

However, no matter how difficult it is, this article is still very relevant and applicable.

So, you swallowed your breath and, using your now somewhat accomplished calligraphy, copied this article of gratitude onto a blank sheet of paper...

The next day, you handed the article to your teacher, Deputy Academic Director Ding, with a normal expression. Deputy Academic Director Ding took a look at it and surprisingly didn't see any problems with it. Instead, he praised you with surprise, saying you were indeed a child prodigy!

"This article will shock the whole government! We're going to be rich!"

Soon, a new article written by a four-year-old prodigy was publicized and quickly became a hot topic!

[It is titled: "Resolutely draw a clear line between ourselves and the two thieves, Chuang and Xian!"]

Because this article perfectly met people's political needs, everyone rushed to copy it, hoping to see the masterpiece of the child prodigy. For a time, it was even as popular as Luoyang...

[After publishing the article, you and your master happily awaited the prefect's reward: last time, a bad piece of writing got five hundred taels, so this time, for a good piece, at least... a thousand taels, right?]

[However, just as you and your disciple were looking forward to the reward, a group of people you had never expected quickly found you...]

"Are you the idiotic prodigy who spread rumors about King Chuang?"

[A group of old men with ill intentions blocked your way home from school.]

[Your heart suddenly jumped: Buhao! ]

[“May I ask who you are?”]

【"snort!"】

The leading elder smiled coldly, "I'm not afraid of you knowing, but I'm the great-nephew of Prince Chuang, the one the Ming court has been searching for for over thirty years..."

"Grandson Li! Li Laiheng!"

(Prince Zhu San: I have no objection.)
