According to the Preface, "The Imperial Dynasty used Chinese to teach the Holy Will, and the ShiChen Spokesperson knew the Edict. ”
The Holy Will represents the imperial power of ancient China, but it was found in the United States
The Holy Will is a display and symbol of the power of the emperors in ancient China. In feudal society, in fact, the holy will is to represent the emperor, to represent what the emperor says, to represent the emperor as a person. therefore. Whenever the Holy Will is seen, up to the princes and generals, down to the common people, it is necessary to kneel down to greet them.
In China's long feudal history, there have been countless holy decrees, and although these things have been properly preserved, there are still many exiles and handed down.
The literary and historical staff of Qiu County, Hebei Province, once found a "huge length" of the Ming Wanli Dynasty Sacred Will in the home of an old man named Sun Dengxuan, which is more than 360 centimeters long and is generally well preserved. Such things are really not uncommon in China.
However, a magazine in the United States broke out and found the holy will of the Ming Dynasty in the United States!
The United States discovered that the holy will of the Ming Dynasty's Zhengde Emperor was suspected to be an outflow of modern times
According to reports, a copy of the holy will of the Zhengde Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was found in the United States, which was found in the hands of an overseas Chinese and may have been exiled to the people in China for many years.
It is not surprising to say that we have found Chinese cultural relics in foreign countries. In modern times. China has experienced a series of imperialist invasions, and in the process, a large number of precious historical relics have been robbed by the imperialist powers, and even the bright pearl of the Yuanmingyuan has been destroyed.
In the War of Resistance Against Japan, a large number of treasures belonging to China were lost for various reasons. Therefore, it is not a strange thing to find a sacred decree of the Chinese emperor in the United States.
The holy decree is exquisitely crafted, and its content makes the experts shake their heads
In appearance, this holy decree is made of yellow satin. It is about 185 centimeters long and about 30.5 centimeters wide, which is in line with the specifications of the historical production of the Holy Will, and there is also the seal of the Emperor's Jade Seal on it, which can be vaguely seen in the handwriting of the Treasure of the Imperial Book.
In addition to the appearance material, the next observation. That is the content of the Holy Will. The font of the words on the Holy Will is the neat and tidy font of the Ancient Lishu. Its content was written by the emperor at that time to his courtiers, who hoped that they would put the people of the country first and should do their best to contribute to the country and seek the welfare of the people.
For such words, experts can say that it is not strange, after all, the emperors always want to have the service of loyal and patriotic ministers, but when the experts see the payment of this holy will, they are surprised, and shake their heads repeatedly.
The holy will was actually from the hand of the famous Emperor, which was unbelievable
It turned out that this holy decree was issued by the Zhengde Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. According to records, this Zhengde Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was not a good emperor, but a famous Emperor.
In the Ming Shi Wuzong Benji, it is said that he was "happy and frolicking, nicknamed near the group, to the self-signed official number, and the distinction between the crown and the shoes was completely lost".
When he was emperor, he was extravagant and lascivious, ignored the government and politics, and indulged in beauty all day long, only pursuing enjoyment, and even the number of times he went to the court during his reign was countless. The content of his holy will shows that he wants to run the country well and asks his courtiers to lead by example.
This is completely inconsistent with the historical record, how could this Emperor Zhengde of the Emperor Zhengde have issued such a holy decree? Therefore, the truth or falsity of this holy will makes people have to doubt.
However, this holy design has been carefully examined by experts and confirmed its authenticity.
Whether Emperor Wuzong of Ming was a emperor is in doubt, and the historical record contradicts itself
However, if this holy decree was really given by the Zhengde Emperor, does that mean that he is a person who cares about the world? So why is there such a big discrepancy in history's description of him, is it that someone buried some secrets, causing people to have a deviation in their evaluation of him, or has this history been tampered with?
According to the Ming Shilu, when Emperor Wuzong inspected the northwest and marched along the way, he said: "From Xuanfu to the west, thousands of miles back and forth, riding horses, waist bows and arrows, rushing the wind and snow, preparing for adventures, there are tools to follow, and there is no royalty." The eunuchs are sick and sick, and the upper ones do not think that they are laborious. ”
Since he is a fool who is good at pleasure and only knows how to indulge in wine, how can he be a heroic emperor who is powerful and charging forward, and the historical records contradict themselves.
Emperor Wuzong's rebellion against Liu Jin, King Ping'anhua, and King Ning at the flick of a finger, as well as the defeat of the Mongol princes, and also repeatedly provided disaster relief and exemption, all of which were major events during the Zhengde years. Moreover, during his reign, there were still many talents under his subordinates, which also reflected from the side that there were still commendable points under the emperor's rule on the whole.
brief summary
In any case, the emergence of this holy decree is of great historical significance, and for contemporary scholars, it is extremely important for re-studying the actions of the Zhengde Emperor and his ideas. Perhaps, Ming Wuzong is really a person who cares about the world.
