NOVEL WEB Chapter 632
"That's great. The Ming Dynasty has a good reputation. Do you know why, uncle?"
"No marriage?" Li Shimin said tentatively.
"Yes! It is said that this is the iron-blooded Ming Dynasty, the toughest dynasty." Xiao Ran and Li Shimin walked out of the museum.
Xiao Ran continued: "The main reason why the Ming Dynasty is called the toughest dynasty is that it always maintains a tough stance in the face of external threats and internal challenges, without compromise, ceding land, or paying compensation, and safeguarding the dignity and security of the country."
"The Yuan Dynasty before the Ming Dynasty ruled for about a hundred years. Although the Yuan Dynasty was full of martial virtues, the people always lived in dire straits, and the people in the Central Plains had no human rights at all."
"The Song Dynasty before it did not achieve great unification, and there were many humiliating things such as paying tribute. The last time people were proud was the Tang Dynasty, and after the Ming Dynasty was the Qing Dynasty, uncle, you also know."
"It is said that Emperor Hongwu rebuilt China. If it were not for the Ming Dynasty, it would be very Many local cultures are about to lose their inheritance, and the most basic north and south are beginning to split. "
Li Shimin nodded, "That's right, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, the Northeast, the Hexi Corridor, and the Western Regions have been lost for too long."
"So the Ming Dynasty has many fans in later generations. Even if the Han and Tang dynasties were at their peak, there were no fewer people who liked the Ming Dynasty than the Han and Tang dynasties. The Han, Tang, and Ming dynasties had many fans."
"There are also many people who like the Qin Dynasty, but it's a pity that the Qin Dynasty is a bit short. Basically, they all like Qin Shihuang. In our era, the most popular emperors are the great and capable emperors such as Qin Shihuang and Han Wu. The popularity and fans of Emperor Hanwen are far less than those of Emperor Hanwu and Qin Shihuang."
Li Shimin shook his head helplessly, not quite agreeing.
During the Tang Dynasty, the most respected emperors were emperors like Emperor Hanwen.
"I can't understand this."
"The times are different, but you, my uncle, have many fans too. Qin Shihuang, Han Wu, Tang Zong, and Ming Zu are the first tier, with the most fans."
"Isn't it Song Zu?" Li Shimin remembered the poem.
"It's hard to like the cowardly style of the two Song dynasties. People are proud of the Han, Tang and Ming dynasties, but they can't be proud of the two Song dynasties. Even though the Song dynasty's culture, economy and technology were well developed, it was too humiliating to the outside world."
"I don't like marriages. I've read part of the history of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty was tired of dealing with its neighbors. The Han Dynasty and our Tang Dynasty at least made the neighbors dare not invade in the early and middle stages. The Ming Dynasty never solved the threat of the grassland from beginning to end."
"The Yongle Dynasty was still a period of time." Xiao Ran added.
"How many years was that?" Li Shimin said: "The Japanese pirates on the southeast coast, the chieftains in the southwest, and the nomadic peoples in the north have never stopped and have been tired of dealing with them."
"You are right, uncle, but the Ming Dynasty is at least tough. People behind like it. The emperor guards the country's gates and the king dies for the country. The last emperor is also iron-willed. It can be said that he is not capable, but no one says he has no backbone!"
"Okay, okay, that's right." Li Shimin found that he couldn't understand this view.
"Just tough!" Xiao Ran took out his phone and took a picture of the blue sky.
"You are a typical person who talks without any pain. You are just tough, but you don't care about the taxes and wars of the people. It seems that you are not the one living in the Ming Dynasty, right? You are not the one who suffers, right?"
The little princess ran towards Xiao Ran.
"Little Bag~"
"I'm here~"
Xiao Ran put down his phone, "Mingda, slow down, don't fall."
Princess Chengyang, Princess Gaoyang, and Li Lizhi have almost finished taking pictures.
"Grandpa, you two should take a picture too." Princess Yuzhang picked up her phone.
"No need!"
Xiao Ran and Li Shimin walked away in disgust.
"Hahaha!" Princess Gaoyang was also happy to see this scene.
"Brother, isn't that camera amazing?" Princess Yuzhang pointed to a place not far away.
"Well, that camera looks good, and those people have good skills. If you like it, you can buy one." Anyway, Princess Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang are not short of money.
"Okay!" Princess Yuzhang remembered it.
The little princess rubbed Xiao Ran with her furry hat, "Hehe~"
"You don't feel uncomfortable, do you?" Xiao Ran asked again.
Everyone else shook their heads.
Princess Gaoyang said, "I ran fast and felt a little out of breath."
"The altitude is high and there is less oxygen. This is normal. We just arrived and are not used to it. Don't do strenuous exercise." Princess Yuzhang checked the information.
"Yeah, Sixth Sister, I remember it."
Xiao Ran pointed to a place not far away, "That's the statue of Princess Wencheng Temple. Let's go and see it!"
"Okay!"
"It should be very comfortable to lie in the grass without blowing the wind." Princess Gaoyang looked at a place not far away.
There are basically no trees here.
"This grass is a bit prickly when it's dry." XiaoRan put the little princess down, "Mingda walks by herself."
The two little princesses held Xiao Ran on each side, and Li Shimin held Empress Changsun, knowing that the little princesses were close to Xiao Ran.
"Brother, ask Grandpa to come and see, this Princess Wencheng should be from the Tang Dynasty!" Princess Gaoyang didn't know her, but she guessed it.
"Princess Wencheng, I haven't heard of this princess before?" Princess Gaoyang thought about it carefully, and there was no princess with this title among her sisters.
"She wasn't a princess at first. She was the daughter of Li Daozong, the Prince of Jiangxia. The history books record that she was born in the eighth year of Wude. Now it's the seventh year of Zhenguan, so she's only nine years old."
Princess Gaoyang suddenly realized, "She's about the same age as me."
"On the fifteenth day of the first month of the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, my uncle married Princess Wencheng to Songtsen Gampo and ordered Li Daozong, the Prince of Jiangxia, to escort her. Princess Wencheng went to Tubo accompanied by Li Daozong, the cousin of Li Daozong, the Prince of Jiangxia, and Lu Dongzan, the special envoy of Tubo. Princess Wencheng and her entourage set out from Chang'an, passed through Xining, crossed the Sun and Moon Mountains, and traveled a long distance to reach Lhasa."
"Sun and Moon Mountains, this is the Sun and Moon Mountains!" Li Lizhi understood the significance of this place.
"Sun Moon Mountain has important cultural and historical significance. It was an important channel for communication between the Central Plains and the Western Regions after the Tang Dynasty, and witnessed the historical event of Princess Wencheng entering Tibet. Princess Wencheng looked back at the Central Plains from the Sun Moon Mountain, expressing her longing for her hometown and her expectations for the future. There are Sun Pavilion and Moon Pavilion on the Sun Moon Mountain, symbolizing the sun and the moon, and also symbolizing Princess Wencheng's dual feelings for the Central Plains and Tibet."
Xiao Ran talked about these things while walking.
"There was also a Princess Jincheng who entered Tibet later, but she was not as well-known as Princess Wencheng."
"Although Princess Wencheng and Princess Jincheng were daughters of the royal family and not the biological daughters of the emperor, they had a high status in Tubo."
"The Tibetan book "The Banquet of the Sages" records that 'Songtsen Gampo ascended the throne of celebration, crowned Princess Wencheng and made her queen.'"
"Songtsen Gampo liked the virtuous and talented Princess Wencheng very much, and built the Potala Palace specifically for the princess. There are 1,000 palaces, which are magnificent and magnificent."
