Chapter 1 The World
Washed clouds, swallow wings flying obliquely, spring cool laxative,
The murderous slam long street, the rain building Musu, the poplar fluttering,
Drunk eyes full of waning moon, difficult to care about tears and eyelashes,
The mountains and rivers are wide, there is nowhere for me, and I am stunned to look up at the stars,
Ruthless can be regarded as a real hero, and when he is sad, he boils the blood of heroes,
The bright sword frost expands the nine fields, and the eight desolations and the inner and outer blades are resounding,
Saddle the saddle pole eye, the sky is full of heart,
Pride Xiao washed his throat and choked, smiled and said goodbye to the wind,
A chapter of the world
The sky is vast, the rivers and mountains are infinite,
Looking down from a hundred zhang high in the sky, among the stretching mountains, there will be a thin gray line, cross the Luan River from Yongping Mansion, turn two bends, go straight west for hundreds of miles, go around Wanquan Dusi, and go straight to Datong Mansion,
This is the world-famous Great Wall,
In the Later Jin Dynasty, Shi Jingtang established himself as the emperor and cut the sixteen states of Yanyun to Daliao.
The land was lost, and the Great Wall was also included in the territory of foreign peoples.
Because of its barrier, how many Khitan warriors drained the blood wall, buried the bones in the green mountains, the wall of heroes in the minds of the Central Plains people, is also the wall of blood and tears in the eyes of the Liao people, and the treatment that the Liao people can give it can only be demolition and destruction.
"Looking north at Yanyun is endless, and the east of the river goes to the water,"
,, The Song Dynasty was weak, Mongolia was rampant, and the great land was like the water flowing in the east, never to return.
The Great Wall has no tears, for more than 400 years, it has been quietly waiting, watching,
But it didn't wait,
By the time of the Yuan Dynasty, it had completely collapsed, leaving only a little ruin, like a blood scab, old, and bloody red across the hearts of the people.
Finally, the Ming Dynasty was founded,
Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Xu Da to rebuild the Great Wall,
From Shanhaiguan in the east, to the bank of the Yellow River in the west, to prevent Tatar in the northwest, and to reject Duoyan in the northeast,
Kyushu wept blood, Yan Huang fell into tears: Homeland, you are back again,
After Zhu Yuanzhang died, Emperor Jianwen ascended the throne, listened to the gluttonous rumors, ordered to cut the domain, the world was panicked for a while, chaos was frequent, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, could not bear to see the ancestral foundation ruined in a moment, and it was difficult to succeed in anger, and it was difficult to succeed in Jianwen four years of worship in the southern suburbs, and issued an edict on the throne, succeeded to the emperor's throne, and ordered to change Beiping Mansion to Shuntianfu, four years, edict craftsmen 100,000, millions of laborers, build the palace and build the city, which lasted 12 years, is for Beijing,
Its location, almost on the northern border, close to the Great Wall, the enemy invaded, and it will go straight to the capital.
If the capital is broken, the country will perish,
The capital is here, showing the ambition and determination of the Yongle Emperor who is unwilling to live in peace and happiness, and vows to deal with foreign tribes to the end.
Time passes, more than 100 years have passed, and the throne has passed to the head of Emperor Jiajing.
For him, recruiting beautiful women, treasure hunting treasures, is a common thing, but there is no fun, because of the belief in fantasy Taoism, vain for longevity, he only cares about burning incense in the palace, sacrificing to the gods, completely abandoning state affairs,
At that time, one of his favorite things to do was to write articles praising the Jade Emperor on cyan rune paper and burn them to the sky, so that the Jade Emperor could make him blessed and longevity, and live forever.
This kind of article is called "green words",
But he has no ink in his own stomach, and he can't even write this kind of article about the sycophants of the gods, so this burden falls on the shoulders of the courtiers, whoever writes well in green words will be able to get his weight, and even will raise these people to the cabinet and arrange them to a high position equivalent to the prime minister,
So the people of the Ming Dynasty appeared a strange name that had never been seen in history, and the people called them: "Qingzi Prime Minister",
The giant rape Yan Song is one of them,
As long as you write the green words and deal with the emperor well, you can do whatever you want underneath.
Is it good to be in such a world?
In this way, the Ming Dynasty has accumulated disadvantages year after year, and its national strength is gradually declining, and it is on the verge of collapse.
In the twenty-ninth year of Jiajing, I Da led an army of 100,000 people, broke through the Great Wall, besieged the Beijing Division, plundered, and finally set it on fire, and left, leaving only a pile of broken ruins outside the city.
Today, more than ten years later, Emperor Jiajing died, and the temple number was set as Sejong, and his third son Emperor Longqing, who succeeded to the throne for nearly a year, people's faces seemed to have forgotten the military disaster, and the inside and outside of Beijing were also becoming more and more prosperous, but most of the houses in the outer city were still built low and dilapidated, in order to when the enemy invaded again, they could categorically abandon and flee, and did not have to regret too much, and the people who lived in the city, the houses were also more than one storey, if there was no big backer, even if there were strong financial resources, they did not dare to build the house more than two floors, but this was not for the convenience of escaping, but because there are fans of Dongchang staring at every corner: your house is built so high, what are you doing, are you noble, do you want to rebel?
However, this is only a small aspect, in fact, from the people's weddings and funerals, business livelihoods, to the entertainment and leisure of the market, and even the fluctuation of vegetable prices in the market, everything that happens every day will be transmitted to the East Factory in every detail and recorded.
The civilian population is monitored so strictly and so leniently, let alone the ministers of the DPRK and China.
It is said that last year, the clerk gave Hu Yingjia's hometown old friends to visit in Beijing, and sent him two boxes of dates, which were not eaten in the inner room, and the next day he met Guo Shuronghua, the deputy governor of the East Factory, and chatted a few words, Guo smiled: "I heard that the dates produced in Hu Yingjia's hometown are very delicious, and I will have the opportunity to invite Guo to taste them in the future," Hu Yingjia said a few words at the time, "Certainly, definitely," Two days later, Guo Shu Ronghua invited him to a banquet, and among the fruits on the table, there was a box of dates, which was the one hidden in his home, and the box had not even been changed.
Only then did Hu Yingjia understand that Guo Shu Ronghua's words were to taste what dates he wanted, but he was really trying to find out if he could use them, if he was respectful to him in his heart, he would naturally hurry home when he heard this, take out the dates and send them to the door.
The people of Dongchang can unknowingly enter the inner room of his house to obtain dates, and want to take the head of the head, is it still difficult, but he gambled this tone, and relied on himself to be the first assistant of the cabinet Xu Jie's fellow countryman, refused to accept this softness, threw his sleeves away, and it didn't take long for him to be scolded by the emperor for doing things at a loss.
The wind is choking, the snow is cold,
The sky was dark and dark,
Chang Sihao led his horse to stroll in the capital market, looking at the lights on both sides of the road, hearing about the history of these royal capitals, current affairs, and his heart was quite uncomfortable.
Jing Lingyu is tired of talking along the way, so it is recommended to go for a glass of wine first.
Chang Sihao nodded in agreement, in the face of this cold world, he really needs something that can make people intoxicated and dream of death to drive away the cold.
Jing Lingyu saw that he was not in good spirits, so he poked him, and asked with a smile: "Do you know which one in the capital has the best and most complete wine," Chang Sihao didn't want to think about this, and replied casually: "You are from here, naturally no one knows better than you," Jing Lingyu rubbed his nose: "You are a person, you don't mean anything at all, of course I know, the reason why I ask knowingly is because you don't know, you should cooperate a little, and ask me: 'Oh, that little can be lonely, I don't know, may I ask Miss Jing, which is the best restaurant in the capital,' I will tell you: "Of course it's Koufuju," you say: 'Oh, I see, thank you girl for your advice,' Chang Sihao smiled slightly: "Second good, I'll teach you, from now on, don't speak so bluntly, you have to call yourself a zero-tone teacher, don't be scared of the girl, you don't have to move in a few steps, you know,"
"Okay little black, you learn from me," Jing Lingyu sneered at this sentence, seemed to think of something, and smiled: "That's good, the master is the teacher, the master is too much, and your grandfather Qin Langchuan is the same generation, and the two of us will also be called grandchildren in the future," Chang Sihao said: "Yes, but it's a bit of a headache to call it, should I call you grandma, or grandma," Jing Lingyu waved his hand to show that it didn't matter, Chang Sihao: "Well, then I will call it together to show respect...... Grandma, hello," Jing Lingyu raised his head and squinted, smiling beautifully, as soon as he heard the latter sentence of grandma, he immediately pouted again: "Okay, you stinky little black, and make fun of me, you are old, you are an old grandfather," Chang Sihao laughed: "Grandpa, grandma, well, that's so wonderful," Jing Lingyu knew that he was speechless, angry, and slapped him,
While speaking, the two walked through this commercial street, Jing Lingyu led with a tip of his jaw: "That's it," a five-story building in front of it stood out like a flock in the middle of several restaurants, the door was covered with tall lanterns, and the big plaque on the door was engraved with the three words "Koufuju", and the inscription was: Huating, the font is thin and bone-like, the guys greeted each other, and the enthusiasm was abnormal, and when he saw that the two of them came to this side, he was busy smiling and picked up the horses, and someone came to lead the way and sing,
Chang Sihao thought to himself: "This restaurant is much more magnificent than the Huibin Building in Taiyuan, and the division of labor is clear, the introduction of the horse, the welcome of the guests, the bottom is the capital, the details are thoughtful, and it is different," close to the door of the building, only to feel the heating on the face, Jing Lingyu said while walking: "Xiao Hei, do you know who wrote the words on the plaque," Chang Sihao said: "Since he is the person called Huating," Jing Lingyu said: "Nonsense, you know who Huating is," Chang Sihao said: "I can give others a plaque, of course, he is a calligrapher, full of Confucianism," Jing Lingyu said with a smile: "Say that you are an ignorant person, you are not bent at all, calligraphy everyone's ink treasure, whoever gets it will be carefully collected, full of Confucian scholars fake Qing Gao, temper stink, their friends may not be willing to write, how can they give a place like a restaurant tea shop, you think this is a famous spot like Tengwang Pavilion and Yueyang Tower," Chang Sihao asked: "Then what kind of person would have this kind of plaque," Jing Lingyu said: "Look around here, which restaurant dares to build to five floors, understand," Chang Sihao understood, and lowered his voice: " There is a government to take care of,"
Jing Lingyu said: "Finally, you are not stupid, let me tell you, this plaque is the first assistant of the dynasty, Lord Xu, he has a single name, the word is promoted, because he is from Songjiang Huating, so he used the word Huating as an alias," Chang Sihao didn't care about Xu Jie's name, and asked: "What kind of official is the first assistant, I'm afraid it's not small,"
Jing Lingyu rolled his eyes and said, "It's not small, it's big, it's not bigger than him,"
It turned out that since the Ming Dynasty had the case of Prime Minister Hu Weiyong's rebellion, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang canceled the establishment of the Zhongshu Province and the post of prime minister, that is, there was no prime minister, and the six ministries of officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers were changed to the first-level center, and the scholars of each ministry were directly responsible to the emperor, and the scholars were selected to form the "cabinet" Originally, the scholars only had five grades, three levels lower than the two grades of the Shangshu, but since the Jiajing period, the status of the cabinet has improved a lot, and now the six Shangshu must also ask the cabinet ministers for instructions, and the cabinet, according to the different status, is divided into the first assistant, the second assistant, the group of three grades, the power of the first assistant is great, has been equivalent to the prime minister in the past dynasties,
She even explained with a comparison, and said a lot of things, Chang Sihao didn't understand too clearly, only roughly remembered the three grades of the auxiliary, in short, the first assistant was the largest, nodded and said: "I see, that's under one person, above ten thousand people," Jing Lingyu grinned: "It's not wrong to be above ten thousand people, but it may not be under one person," Chang Sihao said: "Is there still an official position above the first assistant,"
Jing Lingyu sighed: "Alas, you are so stupid, there are people on the person, but it doesn't necessarily depend on the size of the official position, have you forgotten the cage?"
Chang Sihao heard her mention Dongchang, added caution, then stopped talking, went straight to the third floor to find an empty table and sat down, the guy came over to serve, handed over a recipe, and asked with a smile: "What do you two eat," Jing Lingyu took the recipe and glanced at the cover, didn't turn it over, slapped it directly on the table, and said: "Look at your thick menu, I'm afraid that there will be a million words alone, come out to eat, just Tuyi is happy and lively, how can you have the patience to look at this, thank you for driving, just report the name of this dish to us,"
The guy nodded and smiled: "Back to the girl, the name of the dish can not be reported from the morning to the evening, the small one is not afraid of being tired, I am afraid that the girl is hungry, so, today we are in the kitchen Master Li, Liaolu cuisine will be good, both civil and military fire, the signature dry fried loin stewed three silks, clear water stinging head fried slices, big pot out of the pot of mutton, Special fresh meatballs, we are famous here for a large amount of money, and the dishes are honest and not empty, you can't eat the same plate, if you order all these things, I will give the girl two earth-shaking thunders later, a bunch of babbling flowers, even if it is small, I invited,"
Chang Sihao said: "Let's eat, what are you doing with the artillery battle," the guy smiled: "The girl is lively, let's eat while putting it away, and we should celebrate the New Year in advance," Jing Lingyu smiled: "Don't pay attention to his dirt buns, I don't understand the jokes, and I'm still interested in fighting with you, I said, are you very slippery, is your surname Liu, or your surname Xie,"
The guy smiled: "Back to the girl's words, the little surname is Xiao, named Xiao Nianzi, my mother gave birth to our brothers, a pair of twin brothers, I am the elder brother, my brother went to school when he was young, somehow he was not very gregarious, slowly got a kind of depression, the nest died, but I lived a spirit, and the words became more and more, maybe my brother's words were taught to me, and when I came to find a job, everyone thought I was broken, and I was annoyed everywhere, so I had to go to the restaurant as a buddy,"
Jing Lingyu smiled so much that he grabbed the table with both hands, his head was against the empty bowl, he was simply happy, Chang Sihao felt strange in his heart, I don't know what was wrong with her, Jing Lingyu laughed and waved his hand again and again: "Okay, okay, just follow what you said, go ahead,"
The guy laughed and responded: "Okay, you," picked up the recipe and went down,
Chang Sihao saw that Jing Lingyu was always giggling and laughing, and asked in wonder, "What are you laughing at?"
Jing Lingyu pressed his smile on his stomach, as if he was pressing a live carp that twisted and jumped, and finally calmed down a little, and then said: "I haven't been so happy for a long time, hey, after all, it's a mouth blessing, and the service is different,"
Chang Sihao wondered: "How is it different, is it to give you the words of the cannon?"
Jing Lingyu said: "You haven't reacted yet, didn't that guy say it just now, his name is Xiao Nianzi...... Poof......" Speaking of this, I couldn't help but laugh on the table again, Chang Sihao looked at her directly, I don't know what kind of illness she had,
Jing Lingyu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, okay, I'll tell you, you see, his younger brother goes to school like him, why is he fine, his younger brother is not social, why is he happy, but his younger brother is depressed," Chang Sihao said: "How do I know, he didn't say," Jing Lingyu said: "Why didn't he say it, he said it, his name is Xiao Nianzi, and he is an elder brother, as the saying goes: 'Nianzi is here', then what should his younger brother be called,"
Chang Sihao said: "Then it's called 'Xiao Zaiz'......" Speaking of this, I felt that the pronunciation was wrong, and thought: "Xiao Zaiz, isn't it like a little cub when I read it,"
Jing Lingyu said: "You finally understand, his brother was called by his classmates in school because of this name, and he was very depressed, and he died of depression, isn't it happy,"
Chang Sihao let out a "hey", covered his face with his hands, and turned his head: "Everyone is dead, what kind of coke, it's so boring,"
Jing Lingyu suddenly made a straight face, patted the table lightly, and said solemnly: "Xiao Hei, if I take the next words, you have to write them down word by word, enter them in your heart, and take action in the future, otherwise your life will be in vain, you are actually not very interesting, I said that I should be lively and happy when I came out to eat, and he just told me a joke to amuse me, how can there really be this brother, as the saying goes: 'Find fun, You must know that this world is a big book, which is full of suffering, only if you learn to find fun, this book will have a reading head, otherwise, you don't know how many good things you missed, what is the meaning of reading it for a lifetime,"
Chang Sihao thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's what you said,"
The two sat and waited for the food to come, Chang Sihao always thought about the topic when he went upstairs, and saw that the people around him were eating their own food, and no one paid attention to this, so he lowered his voice and said: "The joke is put aside in advance, I listen to your meaning, Dongchang can actually influence the ministers," Jing Lingyu said: "Then what do you think," Chang Sihao said:" I originally thought that Dongchang was just supervising the words and deeds of the ministers, and if there was any offense, he would be arrested and punished, but the cabinet has such a high status, directly communicating with the emperor, and dealing with government affairs related to the whole world, so should everything be at the mercy of Dongchang?"
Jing Lingyu said: "Although it is not as you think, but the truth is almost the same, the grandfather canceled the post of prime minister, and all state affairs have to be handled by himself himself, very tired, and the later emperor only cares about eating, drinking and having fun, so he is too lazy to approve those folds, so he asked the cabinet bachelor to sign the note, analyze the matter, and give a solution, this is called 'vote', the emperor reads it, you don't need to use your brain, just approve it or not, this is the reason for the rise of the cabinet,"
Chang Sihao thought to himself: "People say that there are no more than three generations of wealth, and it is the same when you are an emperor, the founding emperor who fought the world knows that it is not easy to come by, and his children and grandchildren have not gone through the war, so how to worry about how to come,"
I only heard Jing Lingyu's voice lower, and continued: "But when he came to Emperor Jiajing, he burned incense all day long to learn the Tao, and he didn't go to court for decades, and he couldn't see the ministers, so this' The excerpt of the ticket will be passed into the palace through the eunuch, the emperor sometimes approves the words, and sometimes the will is passed orally, so that these bird cages don't have the capital and opportunity to play tricks, Feng Bao is the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingpen, and can even give instructions on behalf of the emperor on the cabinet ticket, so ah, even if he is the first assistant of the court, he must look at his eyes and have a good relationship with each other, as for the admiral Dongchang, it is a trivial matter, for a eunuch, how to fix the favor is a big thing, serve the emperor well, there is everything, Dongchang is just a tool, a knife, a dog, it will pass with a finger, so Feng Bao doesn't care much, all of them are left to Guo Shu Ronghua to do,"
Chang Sihao frowned slightly, thinking: "The ticket is intended to be put up by the first assistant, and the eunuch actually has the right to give instructions on behalf of the emperor, so as long as the first assistant and the eunuch are secretly united, wouldn't they be able to avoid the emperor and do whatever they want, in this way, the world has really become theirs," At this time, the man brought the wine and food, and put it on the table in the same way, and he didn't ask anymore,
The guy retreated, the two of them raised their chopsticks to eat, Jing Lingyu specially sandwiched some shrimp balls and fried meat to eat, all of them did not look like a family, Chang Sihao thought about the question just now, quite a little bit of food did not know the taste, so he couldn't stop pouring wine to drink, a few glasses down, I heard someone talking loudly against the wall in the west, one person was praising it: "Loud, strong, really good poetry, I can't imagine this woman in the dust, rare, rare," Looking sideways, there were two scribes sitting at the table, one was in his thirties, his face was like powder, his eyebrows were towering, he was wearing a white painting robe, there were clouds and mountains in splendor, the middle of the river, it seemed to be a wonderful stroke, the posture was vigorous, the other side had big ears, his eyes were clear, his cheeks were high and his beard was short, he was upright, and he was dressed like a Taoist in a green shirt with two sleeves.
The two people turned sideways, looking at a piece of handwriting on the pink wall of the west wall, and sighed from this,
Chang Sihao didn't notice that there was a title on the wall of this restaurant, and when he looked at it, he couldn't help but be stunned.
