Chapter 43 Riding the Red Dust

In the early years of Ming Hongzhi, the whole Ming Empire, under the leadership of the labor model emperor Zhu Youxuan, slowly went to the regularity, and the efficiency of the court's work improved rapidly. However, God seemed to be used to bullying this bitter child and even picked up Zhu Youxuan, a soft persimmon: natural and man-made disasters, one after another, and his father Zhu Jianshen did not go to the court for 16 years. Leave a devastated mess, pat your buttocks and leave.

As soon as Zhu Youcheng took over the stall, he encountered extreme natural disasters: in the first year of Hongzhi, the drought in Shandong and floods in Jiangsu. In the second year of Hongzhi, there was a flood in Henan and a drought in North China. Three years after Hongzhi, floods in Zhejiang. In the fourth year of Hongzhi, there was a drought in Shaanxi and a flood in Jiangxi. In the fifth year of Hongzhi, the Su Song River flood, Guangxi plague - more neat sentences than the confrontation! In addition to internal worries, there are also external troubles. Mongolian tartans and Walas are just like beating gophers, showing their heads and harassing them from time to time.

Oh, you are a miserable person! It is said that someone selected the most miserable emperor in history. Zhu Youxuan was listed, and the second place was scared to run away!

If you want to say that Zhu You's life is suffering, you have to start from birth. During the Chenghua period, Wan Guifei, an old woman who could not give birth to children, relied on Zhu Jian's unique sister-brother complex and violently harmed the concubines in the palace. Whoever is pregnant is basically equivalent to being sentenced to death. If she does not die, she will be half disabled, at least it will make you infertile! Fortunately, a small grass hidden under the cracks of the stone - Zhu Youxuan's mother, a maid of honor, sprouted tenaciously!

Later, a conscientious little eunuch sacrificed his life to save Zhu Youxi's life. After recognizing Zhu Jianshen and his son, Zhu Youcheng's mother was persecuted and died by Wan Guifei. Zhu Youxuan was sometimes in danger of being abandoned. He had to try the ant nest outside the door first. Over the years, the pain of walking on thin ice and the death of his relatives made him stand up firmly --- as determined, I broke the sky. !

He worked hard, and he vowed to bring the Ming Empire back to life!

If there is a disaster, you need disaster relief, right? Dad has lost the treasury, so he can find an empty place to get it, close the temple and temple, confiscated the confiscated, and raise some brain and intestine fat monks. Can you save the disaster? Disband them, farmers, and those who don't farm, pull them to stop the flood!

Wherever you can, you have to sting, and it is inevitable to attack the officials - "Emperor, I tighten my belt, and you have to follow the diet and clothing, all for the people! That so-and-so Aiqing, your stomach is an inch taller. Is it overnutrition in the family? Look, I put my chest against my back. How can you be embarrassed!" So this expert went back to the house and cleaned up inside and outside. In order to show his sincerity, he even brought the warm eggs that had just been taken out of the chicken nest!

A lot of money has also been cut out, but a few floods have been blocked, and "a river of spring water flows eastward", and the treasury is cleaner than the monk's head. Think about it, the temple is closed. What do the immortals in the sky eat? If you don't eat the offering, who will go to work normally to make your weather smooth!

Zhu Youcheng said: Natural and man-made disasters, right?! I support it!!! Until later, he found that the push was too hard. Zhu Youxi, who was in his twenties, had mostly bald scalp, even slipped when he wore the crown, and the flies stood up and split!

The most important thing is that the people at the border are not living well and are often harassed by the Hufus. Before the food is cooked, they come and eat it up. After all, it is safer to put it in their stomachs!

After Wang Shouren came to the capital, he quickly understood the current situation of Daming through all aspects of news, and finally he was shocked! So there was a person who walked around all night in the palace; there was also a person who worried about the country and the people in the palace. Although these two people did not see the above in the end, he will become a "middlestay" to defend the country of the Ming Dynasty.

After detailed analysis, Wang Shouren found that internal worries are not a big problem. Now the Ming Dynasty has made a single-minded decision to cut off its profits and cure the flood. In addition, the emperor has reused several relatively fierce veterans, all of whom are loyal and meticulous. The invasion of ethnic minorities in the north made Wang Shouren sweat coldly: the flood locust plague will pass sooner or later, but after that, the people will not accept it, and the emperor has no time to rectify the armaments. Once the war ignited, the Ming Dynasty really became a paper tiger. The nation on horseback is extremely fierce. The Yuan Dynasty is an example, such as If you take advantage of the autumn and winter season, it will be vulnerable!

"What should I do? Wang Shouren asked himself repeatedly!" A few days later, Wang Shouren searched for a large number of military books in all aspects, carefully studied and specized, and used various props to set up troops. At the same time, Wang Shouren began to make friends with officials who like to talk about the military, as well as young people with the same hobbies. At this time, he met Wu Wending, who came to Beijing to prepare for the imperial examination. This man was talented, loud and powerful. Wang Shouren couldn't help shaking his head when he saw it: Hey, the imperial examination is really harmful to people, misleading the country and the people! Such a general and talent are going to study what Zhu Xi is thinking!

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, some officials have suggested the resumption of martial arts, but they have been criticized by Zhu Yuanzhang. To put it bluntly, Zhu Yuanzhang, a low-born beggar emperor, is used to the hungry and cold days. Once he gets what he gets, how can he share it with others? We can only share hardships, not wealth together! The killings in the later period of the administration were afraid that the meritorious officials would pose a threat to his throne, so he killed most of the meritorious ministers. Similarly, martial arts people are not the same as literary people, but will be real. If they want to rebel together, it will be too dangerous, so there has been no martial arts examination. ( Of course, at the end of Chongzhen, the situation was critical and he had to restore the martial arts, so he had the first and last martial arts champion of the Ming Dynasty. He died in the battlefield and was loyal to the country, but it was difficult to return, and the moths were useless.)

Wang Shouren and Wu Wending got together and often pretended to fight against each other according to Sun Bin's Art of War. If they couldn't understand the art of war, they found out Sun Bin's grandfather's Sun Tzu Art of War and his teacher Wang Chan's Guiguzi to study them and integrate them. They often talk at night and stay up all night.

Once, Wang Shouren put up the map of the Ming Dynasty again and pointed his hands and feet. He was met by Wang Hua. Just as he was about to scold him, he thought, "I'm afraid he will know about Lou Suzhen's matter. Now it's a good thing to see his mind in other places!" So he turned around and left, not forgetting to tell: "You are not dedicated yourself. It's just a matter of knowledge. Don't ruin Shi Tai. How can I make him know when I see his father Wu in the future?! Shi Tai, you also participated in the seven-year trial of Hongzhi, right?

"I'm going back to my uncle, that's right!"

"Oh, there are so many people participating in this test! By the way, Bo'an, why didn't Bohu participate in the test?" Wang Hua asked Wang Shouren sideways. He was really afraid that Tang Bohu would also come to the capital and let him know about it at this juke.

"Dad, why did you ask about Bohu? He came to write a letter saying that he was advocating the 'retro' movement with Zhu Yunming and Dumu, and the poetry club and the painting boat were also in full swing. In the capital, he heard that his new work "To the Bamboo Picture" and the poem were offered for 10,000 taels:

I will never get tired of being depressed for a long time and throw my heart into a good master.

The couch is full of yellow leaves, and the breeze is sunny every day.

If you don't forget the relationship, why do you hate the guest star alone?

The moss is full of people in the west, and the eyes are blue for a hundred years.

After listening to it, Wang Hua couldn't help clap his hands and exclaiming, "This poem is really good, but why is it so sad..." After asking, Wang Hua immediately realized that he had asked the wrong question. Wang Shouren didn't seem to think much about it, but continued to say, "Dad, Xu Huaian, a disciple of Mr. Rao Yizhai, is coming to the capital in a few days. I have replied and asked him to stay in our house for a while!"

"What? Shangrao? Mr. Yizhai?"

"Yes, Dad, I think there are still guest rooms in the house. Mr. Yizhai's disciples are not outsiders. Dad is not against it, is he? The son knows that his father has always liked to make friends, 'Isn't it true that friends come from afar?!'

"Oh... let's take it easy. When will he arrive?"

"I'm not sure. I guess it's these two days!"

"Okay, where did he come from? Dad sent someone to pick up..."

Wang Shouren is wondering why Dad is too enthusiastic?! As he spoke, someone outside the door shouted, "Don't bother my uncle. Huai'an has arrived!"

Wang Hua looked at it and found it was broken! He deliberately let this matter pass quickly, but it happened again and again.

Wang Shouren greeted him in a few steps and patted Xu Huaian on the shoulder, "Brother, I miss you so much. How can you come!"

Xu Huaian took out his handkerchief and wiped his sweat and said, "Oh, it's all because of Suzhen's wedding. After all, he still hasn't escaped this disaster. With the emperor's decree of marriage, Suzhen is about to die. I heard that she has been on hunger strike for ten days, thanks to Yunyu now taking care of her now. I was busy reciting these days and didn't go to see her. After Mr. Yizhai passed away, Loufu suddenly became lonely. Even if I went there, I made Suzhen sad and finally decided not to go, so..."

With that, Xu Huaian felt that there was something wrong with Wang Hua's face. Looking at Wang Shouren's face, he didn't dare to ask, so he had to pestle there...

Wang Shouren's eyes burst into flames intertwined with anger and sadness, as if he was going to "thorn... stab" to burn Wang Hua. His eyes were red and waiting for Wang Hua's "hidden letter from you, I should have guess that you are a selfish bureaucratic style, in order to save yourself, regardless of others. Life or death, even if it's your own son!"

Wang Shouren rushed away Wang Hua and grabbed the door. After a while, he heard "drive...drive..." and the voice became farther and farther away...

The letter hidden by Wang Hua is indeed sent by Yunyu, and there is only Lou Suzhen's poem in the envelope. Wang Hua saw Su Shi's "Eong Yu Le". The content is desolate and sad, and Zhu Yunyu can't understand it, but Wang Shouren will understand at a glance that the words are desolate to the bone, and it will not be lyrical through poetry, but like a masterpiece! Wang Hua had no other choice but to hide. When Wang Shouren came back from outside and heard Wang An say that there was a letter from Yunyu, Wang Hua didn't let him see it.

He only understood it at the moment, but is it too late...

This road is long!

This way, my heart is broken!
