There are three issues in the Ming Dynasty records, which are important issues that shake the prestige of the Ming Dynasty's rule.

In the historical timeline before Su Ze traveled through time, Wanli once wanted to compile the history of the country. The editor-in-chief of the history of the country at that time was Chen Yubi, the son of Chen Yiqin. Chen Yubi, as the second assistant to the cabinet, also served as the editor-in-chief of the history of the country. In Wenyuan A history museum was set up near the pavilion to compile the history of the country.

The result was that Chen Yubi failed to compile the history, and there was no progress in compiling the national history. Finally, after Chen Yubi died of a sudden illness, the compilation of the national history came to nothing.

The reason why the compilation of national history cannot be continued is because of these three problems.

The first one is the issue of Zhu Di's difficult battle.

When Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, raised an army, the banner of the army was Jingnan, that is, the Qingjun side. But how come Emperor Jianwen of the Qing side disappeared in the end?

Then Ming Chengzu accepted the great treasure and ascended the throne as emperor. How to position the historical status of Emperor Jianwen has always been an unavoidable issue for the Ming court.

Even Chengzu Zhu Di's attitude had great fluctuations.

When he first succeeded to the throne, Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di, still treated Emperor Jianwen as an emperor.

But as Zhu Di got older, he began to ask ministers to fabricate records that Emperor Jianwen was immoral, and began to tamper with the actual records of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, saying that Ming Taizu passed the throne to him, and that Emperor Jianwen was just a false emperor.

Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang reigned for thirty-one years. Zhu Di refused to recognize Emperor Jianwen's four-year reign and revised the fourth year of Jianwen to the thirty-fifth year of Hongwu.

This kind of funny thing, left in the actual records, has greatly shaken the legitimacy of Chengzu Zhu Di.

If the succession issue of Zhu Di, the founder, had shaken the legitimacy of the royal family, then the two accessions of Ming Yingzong to the throne would completely disgrace the Ming court.

Ming Yingzong, also known as Mingbao Zong Zhu Qizhen, a series of actions in the Tumubao Incident and the Gate Seizing Incident completely shattered the emperor's sanctity.

After the incident of Seizing the Gate, Ming Yingzong smeared Emperor Jingtai and liquidated Yu Qian and other heroes who supported Emperor Jingtai. Even though the actual records have made a lot of beautification of the emperor's behavior, the ugly facts still cannot be concealed. .

The issue of Emperor Jingtai is also a major issue in the records of the Ming Dynasty. Yingzong even had people touch the records of Emperor Jingtai, but another problem is that it was impossible to tamper with the records of Jingtai during his reign, so it was still kept.

The next question shook the legitimacy of the emperor's bloodline below Jiajing.

That's the question of the Great Ceremony.

Jiajing held a grand ceremony not only to promote his father, but more importantly to confirm the legitimacy of his succession.

In order to support his father, Jiajing also made a diary for his father who had never been an emperor, and concocted a factual record to stuff it in.

Jiajing's victory in the various debates in the Dali Conference was not honorable. It can only be said that the auxiliary minister at the time was too shameless. He did not expect that the young Jiajing was so good at power and insisted on the succession issue, and finally let Dali. The meeting was completed.

But in fact, Jiajing inherited the lineage of Wuzong. According to ancient etiquette, Wuzong's father, Xiaozong, should be respected as the emperor, and the small clan should succeed the throne to the big clan.

But in this way, the emperor's legitimacy would be controlled by Wu Zong's widow and Minister Gu Ming. Jiajing went through a series of struggles to determine the treatment of his father's emperor, and also confirmed the legitimacy of their group's throne. .

However, including during the reign of Jiajing, Confucian ministers had always had disputes over rituals and laws on the issue of rituals.

The reason is also very simple. The royal inheritance system is also related to the inheritance system of ordinary families.

What you Jiajing destroyed was not only the issue of succession to the throne, but also the entire etiquette system.

Many officials who opposed the Jiajing Etiquette Conference had public motives.

In today's conservative Ming court, the etiquette system is still the cornerstone of the entire court, uniting a series of conservative officials.

These three events, Zhu Di the founder, Zhu Qizhen the Yingzong, and Zhu Houcong, these royal rubbish affairs were uncovered and compiled into factual records and published by Southeast, which would inevitably shake the legitimacy of the entire Ming court.

The issue of legitimacy seems illusory, but Li Chengliang is so domineering, and he still wants to hold the emperor hostage to control the princes.

Zhang Juzheng and Li Chunfang also supported the royal family, because the royal family is the link between the coexistence of all forces in the Ming Dynasty.

Now that Li Chengliang is in power, the symbol of the emperor is also the basis for maintaining the civil and military cooperation of the Manchu Dynasty.

The more troubled the times, the more important legitimacy is. Many royal families in history have long lost power, but they still have to hold up this symbol to command the world.

The three problems in the actual records will cause a huge blow to the current Ming court.

Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, killed Fang Xiaoru, Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty liquidated Yu Qian, and Jiajing persecuted Yang Tinghe, a veteran of the three dynasties, which will also chill the hearts of scholars.

Tong An could only lament that Dongfang's move was really a blow to the bottom of the pot.

Yan Jun said:

"The prince and general Xiang Ning have the guts. Su Rulin published the record this time just to illustrate one thing."

"May I ask my mentor what's going on?"

Yan Jun picked up the pen and wrote one word - "moss".

"Moss? The green moss on the moss marks?"

Yan Jun nodded and said:

"It's just getting up and down."

"When you look at the records, the emperors, generals, ministers, and officials all look intimidating. The palaces are strictly forbidden, and the provinces are like Lingxiao Cave Mansion. Ordinary people regard it as a fairyland. But what is it actually? The Ming Dynasty was no better than the Ming Dynasty. It’s just a grassroots team.”

"When Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty raised his army, he probably had no intention of becoming an emperor. He just didn't expect that Emperor Jianwen would change his leadership."

"The move to seize the throne was also hasty. It was nothing more than speculation by the ministers because Emperor Jingtai had no heir."

"Including the great ceremony, Jiajing's method of punishing officials was nothing more than court battles. The method of forcing Yang Tinghe was nothing more than using the throne to force him. What's the difference between fighting for property with rich families?"

"Ah? I'm afraid Su Rulin doesn't mean this, right?"

Yan Jun said firmly: "That's what Su Rulin meant. This is Su Rulin's article last month, "The Government Says." Su Rulin said very clearly that many decisions of the southeastern government are just made through consultation and guesswork. Many things are not A mistake was made."

"People make policies, and people implement policies. People are greedy, lazy, and greedy. Everyone makes mistakes."

“Is it because this decree changed the official seal that it becomes sacred?”

"So Su Rulin has always emphasized that the government must be supervised and decision-making must be made public in order to eliminate mistakes, instead of allowing officials to govern unscrupulously."

"Where in this world is it not the Caotai Troupe? The so-called princes, generals and ministers are just the actors of the Caotai Troupe."
