Menghua Dynasty.

During the Tianyou period, the former Celestial Empire was left with only half of the country, which was occupied by barbarians and faith in the east, and there was a departing regime in the east. The northwest desert was also invaded by the nomads from time to time. The country once shook in the wind and rain. However, this weak country has been struggling to support for more than 20 years in the rich and warm south. And the carefully managed southern rivers and mountains are becoming more and more prosperous. Jiangnan is a peaceful scene in the world.

In the hot summer, the weather is not rainy, and it is sultry, and the depths of Meishan Mountain are not cool.

In a chic bamboo house, a woman is drinking tea while turning over books. The woman is about 30 years old, with a good face and no fat powder. She wears white silk clothes and has a unique elegant style. Next to her stood a very beautiful boy. The boy is 13 or 14 years old and heroic. He bowed politely and stood beside the woman, fanning the woman with a bamboo fan, and did not mean that he was already sweating profusely.

"Xiao Chen, don't fan. You're tired. Sit down and talk for a while..."

"Aunt, my nephew is not tired..."

The boy named Xiaochen said.

The woman smiled and asked what Xiaochen had learned recently. Hearing Xiaochen's answer, she smiled with relief. Finally, he said:

"My aunt asked you to read more history books. At first, it may not be as effective as martial arts and tactics, but this is the condensed life of the previous generation, or success or failure, which is enough to teach us a lesson. This is not a skill that can defeat the enemy, but it is full of thinking and social wisdom, and this wisdom is the first and final demand in the world..."

Xiaochen bowed slightly.

"What my aunt taught me a lesson is that Xiaochen knows."

The woman has a strong conversation and said:

"The purpose of history is to make people understand things. You see, the rise and fall of all dynasties cannot escape this cycle. It is said that there is a constant nature, not for Yao to survive or to die, but in the final analysis, it can't escape the personnel. Take our Menghua Dynasty as an example. The founding emperors and the first two generations of emperors have seen upheaval and know the sufferings of the people, so they know that they can accept objections and be diligent in government affairs. However, after several generations, Haiyan Shengping, they were born in deep palaces and rarely knew the sufferings of the people outside. Enjoyment and luxury, the treasury accumulated in the previous dynasty is almost squandered. In the year of Yihe, Hezong repaired the palace, and the treasury was empty, and he was obsessed with calligraphy and painting, and ignored the government. If the country is weak, foreign enemies will invade, and once the emperor is captured... It was not until the first year of Tianyou that he slowly recovered in this half of the country. However, today's Menghua Dynasty has long been yesterday..."

The woman was very little interested and took a sip of tea. Tell Xiaochen to sit down:

"If I say so emptyly, you may not have any impression. Come on, let me tell you something else about the past that has something to do with your family. They have gone through the rise and fall of this dynasty and countless disasters..."

"Good." Xiaochen's eyes were full of hope.

The past, after countless years, came to my face...
