The short videos I watched from all dynasties

Li Ranran opened 13 stations and slacked off in the morning.

[Are there such people in history?]

Today's history question: Is there anyone in our country's history who was greedy for money and sex, or was careless and cowardly, but in the end did something that no one expected. 】

＜There are many people in history books who have damaged their personal morals but have maintained their great virtues.＞

＜The first person I think of is Zhang Juzheng. He was greedy for power, but he was working for the reform of the Ming Dynasty. He lived a luxurious life, but it did not prevent him from continuing the Ming Dynasty for more than 50 years.＞

＜Accepting bribes, abusing power for personal gain, inconsistent words and deeds, and using 32 sedan chairs to travel...＞

＜When he reached Zhang Juzheng's position, he really kept his original intention. Although it is not known whether his extravagant lifestyle was a rumor, it did not hinder him from continuing the life of the Ming Dynasty.＞

＜Suddenly I thought of Cao Cao [covering face]. When the country was in danger, he neither wasted power, wealth, and sex, nor did he delay raising an army [dog head]＞

＜Dian Wei, Cao Ang, and Cao Anmin, who killed three wise men with one shot: Right, right, right.＞

＜Cao Cao was a Han minister until his death, and he never became an emperor. I cried my heart out [狗头]＞

＜Wen Tianxiang can be counted as one of them. When the Southern Song Dynasty was stable, he was a nobleman who knew how to enjoy life. But when the Southern Song Dynasty was in danger, he became Prime Minister Wen and a national hero who was ready to die.＞

＜Wen Tianxiang finally spent all his wealth to fight against the Mongols.＞

＜When Geshu Han was young, he was a complete playboy, not doing his job properly until he was forty years old and joined the army to serve his country.＞

＜Geshu Han should thank Wang Zhongsi for his support.＞

＜Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew Zhu Wenzheng, usually a second-generation rich man, but when defending Hongdu, he really led the way and said "I hope to see you in wealth and honor in the future". He is really a very useful villain [covering face]＞

＜There were more people like this in the Southern Song and Southern Ming＞

＜Haha, the more people like this there are, the more likely the country will be in danger＞

＜It’s time to order. There shouldn’t be too many people like this in the late Ming Dynasty…＞

＜When nothing happens, I sit back and talk about my character; when danger comes, I die for my king.＞

＜Yan Song? He was greedy for money, but he supported Hu Zongxian and Yu Daqiu in their fight against the Japanese invaders＞

＜If you count it this way, does Wei Zhongxian count as one of them? He was greedy for money and power, but he supported the anti-Jin war [laughing and crying]＞

＜The warlords during the Republic of China were also like that, all of them were extremely evil warlords, who were not interested in power, wealth and sex. However, when facing the Japanese invaders, they sternly refused to cooperate with them.＞

＜The mighty general Zhu Shou [eat melon] usually has beautiful women and leopards, but he is ruthless when he kills Mongolians at the border [eat melon]＞

＜Hahaha, in this series I also voted for Zhu Shou, the governor-general of military affairs, commander-in-chief, and mighty general of the Ming Dynasty＞

...

When Li Ranran saw the question, the first person that came to her mind was Zhang Juzheng. What a complicated person.

There is endless debate about this issue among people from all walks of life. Some people believe that a corrupt official is a corrupt official, and that he is not a bad person just because he does one good thing.

Cao Cao felt that he would be repeated by the light curtain for the rest of his life: "One shot killed three wise men."

The people of the Ming Dynasty looked down on Yan Song and Wei Zhongxian mentioned by Guangmu. Are they also considered?

Tang Dynasty, 25th year of Kaiyuan

Geshu Han, who had experienced tremendous changes in his life, never expected that the light curtain would mention him.

"General Wang Zhongsi?! Doesn't that mean we have to go to Hexi..." Geshu Han had been in the capital Chang'an for almost two years since his father's death, and he often wondered whether he should just stay in Chang'an and waste his time.

The words on the light curtain clearly made Geshu Han find a new direction in his life - to join the army in Hexi!

...

Wang Zhongsi was on the battlefield in Hexi. He advanced into the enemy camp alone on horseback, charging left and right, and killed hundreds of Tibetans by himself. The Tibetan army trampled on each other in panic. The Tang army attacked from the flank and defeated the Tibetan army.

After leaving the battlefield, Wang Zhongsi thought of Geshu Han mentioned in the light curtain, and told everyone to report to him if anyone named Geshu Han came to Hexi to join the army.

Wang Zhongsi looked towards the direction of Chang'an, where the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was.

Guangmu said a year ago that His Majesty would be a sinner of the Tang Dynasty, but Wang Zhongsi didn't want to believe it. His Majesty is a saint of the Tang Dynasty, a wise ruler comparable to Emperor Taizong, and he would never be like Guangmu said...

No matter what others think of Li Longji, for Wang Zhongsi, he lived in the palace and received careful training as a child, and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was like a father to him.

Ming Dynasty, Zhengde 2nd year

Hey?!

Zhu Houzhao cheered: "I can go to the border to fight the Mongols now!"

As the Ming Dynasty was also undergoing reforms under the Light Curtain, Zhu Houzhao fell into endless reverie, hoping that he would be able to fight on the battlefield like Emperor Taizong.

Ming Dynasty, the second year of Chongzhen

Under the leadership of a group of people with lofty ideals, the Ming Dynasty is working hard to overcome the shortcomings of government affairs and various disasters.

The Jurchens in the north often joined forces with the Mongols to harass the border. Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian knew the importance of military pay. The light curtain showed that the army could not defeat the enemy without full pay, so Zhu Youjian tried his best to satisfy the military pay.

The Ming Dynasty was short of money, but it was mainly the court that was short of money. Zhu Youjian, the straightforward man in the light curtain, certainly understood where the money had gone. In addition, the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty in the light curtain, such as Taizu, Taizong, Xuanzong, Xianzong, Wuzong, and Shizong, often asked about the situation in the late Ming Dynasty and sometimes gave advice. According to Taizu and Taizong, those who did not obey were killed directly and corrupt officials were severely punished.

As for how to deal with the royal family of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjian changed the current policy of mindlessly supporting the royal family after asking Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong for their opinions.

Zhu Youjian and other ministers carried out a series of reforms within the Ming Dynasty. The reform methods were determined by Zhang Juzheng based on the situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty. They rectified the bureaucracy, reduced corruption, restored agricultural production, reduced the burden on the people, improved the judicial system, strengthened border defense, and reformed the army...

Because of the words of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang on the screen: "The ancestral laws are immutable. Do you want to wait for the country to perish if you don't change them? Are these scholars ready to die for the emperor in the face of danger, only seeking their own reputation and not caring about the fate of the Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Youjian encountered almost no resistance in his reforms.

Following the instructions on the light screen, Zhu Youjian also promoted Song Yingxing, Fang Yizhi and others, encouraged academic research, developed education, and promoted scientific and technological progress.

After the court was cleaned up, he began to vigorously research gunpowder technology.
