    In the second year of Emperor Tianming's Zen throne, Meng Zezhi changed to Yuan Zhaowu.

    In the second year of Zhaowu, on the thirtieth birthday of King Xiang Qin Yu, Meng Zezhi handed over the eight beauties who had paid tribute to him from Japan.

    "I don't know what His Majesty thinks. Even the draft has been stopped, so the Ministry of Household can still lack this money?" The speaker was the current left servant of the Ministry of Household. The daughter was put into the palace, so he specially kept his eldest daughter for two more years.

    It was precisely because there was no daughter present in the palace that he dared to say such a thing.

    "By the way, have you heard of it?" Hubu Li Langzhong lowered his voice and said, "I heard that His Majesty has not entered the harem since he ascended the throne."

    Patriarch Xie frowned slightly: "Who did you hear this from?"

    Li Langzhong consciously made a slip of the tongue, because these words were inevitably suspected of spying on the emperor's trace, but he thought about it, and the people present were not outsiders anyway, so he didn't have to worry that the words would spread out, so he told the truth: "Jingshifang (Jingshifang) Eunuch Feng, who is in charge of the emperor's intercourse), and I are distant relatives, and when he came to celebrate my birthday some time ago, he drank too much and couldn't hold back his words."

    "Is that so," Xie family head turned to look at Xie Jianze beside him: "By the way, you have been with Your Majesty all the time, have you noticed anything unusual?"

    Xie Jianze pursed the corners of his lips, almost with the same hands and feet: "Your Majesty is quite normal. When he is free, he likes to write poems and make fuss. As for the rest, I don't know."

    "Well." Xie Patriarch looked puzzled.

    This is called abnormal. To put it in a vulgar way, this Emperor Zhaowu is at a young and vigorous age, and he started eating meat early, how can he not run into the harem for three consecutive years.

    Could it be because of the filthy affair between Yuan Shi and Qin Shi that Emperor Zhaowu had a shadow over women in his heart?

    Xie Patriarch's thoughts drifted away in an instant.

    Xie Jianze breathed a sigh of relief, but as if he thought of something again, he couldn't help frowning.

    Just as Xie Jianze had expected, things were not hidden for half a year.

    The reason is that the ancestor of the Xie family has not been in good health recently. The Xie family thought of doing a happy event for him, and then naturally hit Xie Jianze with the idea.

    Xie Jianze is twenty-three this year, and at the age of his predecessor, he had five children.

    How could Xie Jianze agree, but he couldn't find a suitable reason to convince the Xie family, and this time, the head of the Xie family was determined to force Xie Jianze to become his biological son. In a fit of rage, he locked Xie Jianze.

    The next morning, Meng Zezhi left the morning and went to Xie's house with a box of pills in his arms.

    For Meng Zezhi's sudden visit, the Xie family were flattered at first, but after learning of his intentions, they changed their faces on the spot and did not drive him out directly because he was the king of a country.

    Even though they were full of resentment, the Xie family didn't dare to question Meng Zezhi face to face, but as soon as he left, the Xie family head asked Xie Jianze to be brought up. All of a sudden, the Xie family knew everything they should know, but they shouldn't know. also know.

    No wonder Emperor Zhaowu didn't run into the harem for three years in a row, and his feelings went to his son's bed... ugh.

    Master Xie blew his beard and stared.

    But what could he do? He didn't even have the qualifications to resist, and he even had to cover up the shameful affair between Meng Zezhi and Xie Jianze.

    Fortunately, within a few days of taking the pills sent by Meng Zezhi, the ancestors of the Xie family recovered and even looked much younger than before.

    ——Although this pill cannot prolong life, it is a real magic medicine that can strengthen the body.

    Once the news came out, it caused a sensation.

    Then, the pills became Meng Zezhi's sharp tool for making money. Ten thousand taels of silver were still worthless. As for the cost, it is almost negligible.

    In such a big country, the most important thing is rich people, aristocratic families, nobles, wealthy merchants, and even envoys of vassal states. After all, everyone wants to "rejuvenate" and die without a problem.

    In the tenth year of Zhaowu, Meng Zezhi exchanged 8,000 catties of ginseng from Korea with 50 pills at a time, and delivered them in 50 years, and each plant was more than 30 years old.

    They would not suspect that these pills were made by Meng Zezhi, they would only guess if he had dug a magic doctor from somewhere.

    Taking this opportunity, in the winter of the sixth year of Zhaowu, Meng Zezhi officially announced to the civil and military officials that his foot was cured.

    As for the money from selling pills, he subsidized half of the money to the Ministry of Household and half of it into the internal money. After that, all the expenses in the palace were directly transferred from the internal money. Meng Zezhi never asked the treasury for it. over the money.

    Then, under the double coercion of the aristocratic family and Meng Zezhi, no one in the court dared to mention the draft.

    This was probably the easiest time Meng Zezhi had seen his parents in recent times.

    In the five years of Zhaowu, Emperor Tianming, who desperately wanted to live longer, still died.

    Because of taking too many pills, Emperor Tianming's body was too healthy, and there was no warning at all when he died, and he didn't even have time to summon the minister.

    As for the edict that he left, ordering Meng Zezhi to send Qin Shi's family to guard his mausoleum, it was stolen by Qin Shi's side concubine, Li Shi, and presented to Meng Zezhi - a vivid interpretation of what is meant by husband and wife They are birds of the same forest, and when disaster strikes, they fly separately.

    Emperor Tianming was carried into the mausoleum on the front foot, and Meng Zezhi on the back foot put the Qin Shi family in the prison of the Zongrenfu.

    As for Qin Shi's side concubine, Li Shi, in view of her knowledge and her lack of children, Meng Zezhi generously allowed her to remarry, gave her a dowry, and sent people to inform her about her situation every now and then. Give it to Qin Shi, so that he can feel at ease.

    In the 20th year of Zhaowu, Qin Shi died and died in depression.

    "Well, I see." Meng Zezhi replied casually and continued to accompany Xie Jianze to visit the newly built hot spring villa.

    Forty years after Zhaowu, Xie Jianze also left, Meng Zezhi casually pointed to a cheap son who was pleasing to the eye to inherit the throne, and then followed.

    ...

    In 2018, in a class in the history department of a university in Beijing.

    "Today, we will continue to talk about the history of Gansu, focusing on the introduction of Emperor Zhaowu, the ancestor of Qian Shizu." The professor manipulated the mouse to open the PPT.

    "Qin Hao, the Emperor Zhaowu, was born in Xuchang, the second son of Qian Gaozu, Qin Xing, and his biological mother was the Empress Yang of Xiaosu, the second emperor of the Qian Dynasty, an outstanding statesman, calligrapher, writer, and poet."

    "In the fourth year of Tianming, Qin Hao was crowned the prince. He was intelligent and eager to learn since he was a child. He has both civil and military skills. He is not only proficient in the classics of various schools of thought and poetry of the past dynasties, but also proficient in bowing, horse riding and archery. He oversees the country, performs well in governance, and is quite famous both inside and outside the court and the public."

    "But in fact, the purpose of Emperor Destiny to make him the crown prince is not simple... I believe that all the classmates here should have watched the TV series Zhaowu the Great when they were young."

    "Seen."

    "Fruit TV broadcasts as soon as the summer vacation. My dad is also a fan of Emperor Zhaowu. He is always in front of the TV, and I can even memorize the lines."

    ...

    Everyone agreed.

    "Emperor Zhaowu's TV series is very realistic. I suggest students who haven't watched it to learn about it. Well, having said that, the reason why Emperor Tianming made Qin Hao the crown prince was because of the political needs at the time and because he wanted to give His favorite son Qin Shi put up a shield, and the third is to hope that the power of the family behind Qin Hao can be eliminated through the future battle for succession."

    "As shown in the TV series Zhaowu the Great, Emperor Tianming's plan failed. In the 22nd year of Tianming, Qin Hao launched the Bingyin State Revolution, forcing Emperor Tianming to Zen. After Emperor Tianming abdicated, Qin Hao ascended the throne and changed Yuan Zhaowu. "

    "During the reign of Emperor Zhaowu, he created the cabinet and the military department, actively listened to the opinions of the ministers, and pursued the rule of inaction. Five times the world's money and grain were exempted, and seven provinces and eight provinces were exempted from grain, which greatly reduced the burden on the farmers and enabled the people to rest , laid the seven hundred years of inheritance of the Qian Dynasty."

    ...

    "Emperor Zhaowu is not like an emperor, but more like a literati. He is extravagant in nature and likes to play. He has been an emperor for forty years. He has been to the south of the Yangtze River seven times and built gardens. Among the gardens, the Xuchang Mountain Resort is the most luxurious, and the villa integrates the architectural art of the north and the south. The essence has more than 100 buildings such as halls, halls, buildings, pavilions, pavilions, pavilions, pavilions, restaurants, temples, etc. It took 15 years to complete the construction, costing more than 30 million taels of silver, which was equivalent to a big job at that time. annual revenue.”

    "Of course, this can't be a reason for future generations to attack Emperor Zhaowu. Because all his expenses are all his own money, he didn't move a single cent of the transfer department, but instead subsidizes the state treasury every year."

    "It is said that Emperor Zhaowu holds a magical medicine in his hand, which has the miraculous effect of rejuvenating his youth. It is with this magical medicine that Emperor Zhaowu saved a lot of money. It is a pity that after Emperor Zhaowu's death, this magical medicine also It just disappeared.”

    "He is also a person who will be punished. After the death of Emperor Tianming, Qin Shi was imprisoned in the prison of the ancestral mansion until he died. When Emperor Zhaowu died, there were twenty-three people in Qin Shi's family. , only Qin Shuzhi is left to survive. Qin Shuzhi is the child born of adultery between Qin Shi and Emperor Zhaowu's original spouse, Yuan Shi."

    "After Emperor Yanxing came to the throne, the world was pardoned, and Qin Shuzhi was also within the pardon. As a result, because he had been imprisoned for too long and knew nothing about the outside world, Qin Shuzhi was barked by a passing wild dog as soon as he came out of the prison. Twice, and died of fear on the spot."

    "Compared to these, he is also praised for his literary talent. The "Zhaowu Grand Ceremony" he presided over and participated in the compilation is the first encyclopedic collection of documents in China, and it is also the largest encyclopedia in the history of the world. The whole book. The whole book consists of more than 20,000 volumes, more than 10,000 volumes, about 400 million words, and brings together more than 10,000 kinds of books from ancient and modern times. It took ten years to complete the compilation.”

    The professor pressed the remote control in his hand: "This is the calligraphy treasure left by Emperor Zhaowu, "Fast Snow and Clear Post", the original poster was from Wang Xizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and it is one of the representative works of Emperor Zhaowu. The inscriptions sold for a sky-high price of 560 million, setting a new record in the history of Chinese painting and calligraphy auctions."

    "Of course, the most talked about is not these, but the poems of Emperor Zhaowu. Emperor Zhaowu was good at writing poems. According to the statistics of the "Living Notes" left by the Qian Dynasty, Emperor Zhaowu wrote more than 20,000 poems in his life, and the average He has to write one or two poems every day. But the strange thing is that although Emperor Zhaowu wrote so many poems, there are only more than a hundred poems that have been handed down, and the quality is not very good. Procrastination, jerky and tongue-in-cheek. Descendants commented that Emperor Zhaowu wrote more than 20,000 poems, and the sum total is not as good as Li Bai's "Bright Moonlight Before the Bed".

    "Fortunately, the quality of the poems written by Emperor Zhaowu is not very good. Otherwise, how much burden will it have on us." Some students whispered.

    There are also students who dared to say: "No professor, isn't the most talked about love story between Emperor Zhaowu and Xie Xiang?"

    "Cough cough." The professor covered his mouth and coughed lightly: "Don't bring it to the class to talk about unofficial history or something."

    "How could it be unofficial, Xie Xiang never married, and after Emperor Zhaowu succeeded to the throne, he did not choose a show, nor did he have any children..."

    "All in all," the professor interrupted her: "Emperor Zhaowu has a medical problem, but it doesn't prevent him from becoming a good emperor who is famous in history."

    "Okay, that's it for today's get out of class. After class, remember to write a dissertation analyzing the character of Emperor Zhaowu and send it to me."

    "Ah, I have to write a thesis again." One of the students complained.

    As he was talking, the bell rang.
