Enough about mountains, enough about temples, now let’s talk about people, we saw an old man eating chicken, wearing loose long-distance clothes washed white, his hair neatly combed, twisted into a ball on the top of his head, and fixed with a hairpin. The three strands of beard on his mouth have also been trimmed, and there is not a single stray hair. At first glance, this old man is a very particular person. A person who pays great attention to the details and quality of life.
I saw the old man holding a roast chicken in one hand and playing a game with the other. You are eating chicken in your mouth and playing with chicken in your hands. Don’t think about it. It is not a chicken, but a game of chicken that was very popular in the Ming Empire.
The old man muttered: "I didn't expect this kid to have improved his cooking skills so much after being around for so long." After that, he took another bite of the chicken leg.
Oh, let’s talk about the Ming Empire again, let’s be a little more wordy and specific.
It is said that because the amount of Meng Po's soup was a little too large, Wang BuSheng drank too much, and his weight increased instantly, so that he deviated from the original reincarnation trajectory. Although he vomited it out, and because Meng Po changed Wang BuSheng's reincarnation procedure, Wang BuSheng The world that immortality comes to is no longer the world before death, but another world that is similar to the previous life, but has many differences.
For example, in the world of Wang Bu Die's previous life, Zhu Youjian, the saddest and most courageous emperor of our country, in 1644, Li Zicheng conquered the capital, and Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself from the crooked neck tree in Meishan, and then Lao Li played tricks He fled the capital in embarrassment, and then the unkind Wu Sangui turned into a beauty in anger and lured Qing soldiers into the pass. From then on, the people of the Central Plains began a servile life for 276 years.
However, in the environment where Wang Busheng lives now, everything has changed. Of course, Zhu Youjian will inevitably hang himself on the crooked neck tree in the back mountain again, but there is a little change. The place where Zhu Youjian hangs himself The tree is now located in Nanjing, Yingtian Prefecture, instead of Peiping, Shuntian Prefecture. As for the reasons for the deviation, we will talk about it later.
Let’s continue now. Li Zicheng in this time and space is obviously much more humble. He no longer casually kills local tyrants and robs gold and silver. Fortunately, he is also from a post station and can be considered a bureaucratic class. I don’t know which noble person said this. Only by uniting all the forces that can be united can we achieve the greatest achievements, so Lao Li succeeded. He made friends with the local gentry and local tyrants, used the squire to govern the people, treated the virtuous and corporal, and hired some great scholars of the time to serve as officials in the court with high salaries. So Lao Li successfully changed the world and established the great nation. Shun Dynasty, a dynasty that was like a joke from beginning to end.
Because Lao Li was born in a very low status, although he had a very decent job, he basically never went to school or studied the Four Books and Five Classics. Although his background was a little higher than that of Zhu Chongba, Lao Li's ability was not the same as that of Zhu Chongba. The difference between Lao Zhu and Li Zicheng is not the slightest bit. Li Zicheng has been suffering for too long, and naturally it is now about enjoying the fruits of victory, so he continued the cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty and left nothing to do. Everything was negotiated by several cabinet ministers. Determined, just enjoy yourself in the harem.
At the beginning, this policy was still very good. It was open to the public and accepted advice with an open mind. However, later on, the cabinet also changed its tone. People are not saints, how can they not be greedy, uphold the principles of nature, and destroy human desires. Master Zhu couldn't even do it, let alone those ordinary people. Everyone will have their own interests and gains and losses, their own little ninety-nine, so several members of the cabinet appeared because of differences in the distribution of interests, and began to form cliques in the court. The court was in a mess, and the government orders were blocked. Naturally, the officials below also had to deal with it. After all, of course the people will suffer.
However, Lao Li didn't care at all, but concentrated on creating people in the harem. Because fighting brothers, father and son soldiers in battle, Lao Li felt that his relatives were the most reliable. His father had already burped, and his brother had died. almost. So Lao Li hoped that he would have more sons so that he could raise them to protect him from old age and raise more sons so that he could go to war. It must be said that Li Zicheng still had a sense of worry.
But, well, he was busy creating humans, and his descendants were not idle either. Their ability to create humans was not inferior to that of his ancestors. As a result, when the Shun Dynasty fell, in just a few decades, Li Zicheng's descendants had ten Tens of thousands, these people all eat from the national treasury. So much so that in the end the imperial court couldn't find any money to quell the rebellion.
At the end of the Shun Dynasty, the people could no longer survive. Naturally, there would be strikes and demonstrations from time to time, and it was not peaceful outside.
Korea has always been a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese army conquered Korea and was defeated by the Ming army. They fled back to the Japanese country in embarrassment. However, the Japanese people did not change their evil intentions. When they followed the dynasty, they put themselves in front of their grandson. Position, not to mention sleeping on the salary and tasting courage, like Gou Jian, eating the cakes pulled out by King Wu Fu Cha, but also keeping his posture very low. Knowing that the emperors of Shun Dynasty all like beautiful women, the Japanese government kept sending women to Shun Dynasty. , as if you don’t need money. Of course, this comes at a price. In just a few decades, Japan learned a lot of skills from Shun Dynasty, and books were shipped to Japan ship by ship. Moreover, the Japanese people have always admired the Han people. They investigated and studied why China was so powerful and prosperous for many years, and finally came to the conclusion that their seeds were good, so these women who returned home were properly protected. As soon as they are found pregnant, special care will be taken immediately, and the born children will also be sent to the homes of various daimyo (official names of the Japanese state) to raise them well and serve as reserve cadres of the Japanese state. As early as the Song Dynasty, the Japanese country often sent beautiful women to our country. When they saw the handsome and strong Song people, they befriended them and gave birth to children, named "Du Zhong". You must know that the average height of the Japanese people is only a little over one meter. It is the countless generous acts of sending tadpoles by people in the Central Plains that not only improve the IQ of the Japanese people, but also their height.
Who would have thought that the Japanese people were so ambitious that they forgot about their mother after eating the milk, and even wanted to marry the wet nurse and take it as their own. At the end of the Shun Dynasty, the country was in turmoil, so the Japanese attacked North Korea again, but this time they failed. No matter how many twists and turns it takes, they can win it in one fell swoop. However, Shun Dynasty is also suffering from internal and external troubles. It is difficult to protect itself and has no time to take care of North Korea. However, the Japanese were not satisfied and continued to march westward, crossing the Yalu River and capturing the Jurchen Jurchens in Jianzhou. It must be said that after a hundred years, the Manchu barbarians had become lazy and did not want to make progress. They also spent a lot of time and alcohol, and there was no Jurchen cavalry anymore. Their demeanor was defeated one by one by the Japanese army, and they were defeated. However, the Japanese were not tall, but they had a big appetite. They began to slowly get involved in the territory of Shun Dynasty. When the last emperor of Shun Dynasty heard that the Japanese were coming, he I was so frightened that I ran back to my hometown in Shaanxi. After all, it was the place where my ancestors raised their troops. It was filled with dragon energy and was invulnerable. Fortunately, Shanhaiguan City had a strong army and the Japanese people were unable to break into the interior. The last emperor of the Shun Dynasty saw this, so he returned to the capital. Although his hometown was nice, the wind and sand were too strong, and it hurt his skin.
In the five thousand years of China, there have been heroes, heroes, loyal ministers and treacherous ministers. Some have gone from decline to prosperity, and some have gone from strength to destruction. There is a beginning and an end, and flowers bloom and fall.
Just when the country was in crisis, someone finally stood up. This person was Zhu Xiluo. Referring to Zhu Xiluo's later genealogy, Zhu Xiluo's ancestor was also named Zhu, and his name was Zhu Guorui, who was the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty that we are all familiar with. Zhu Yuanzhang, if people have power, they always want to find a famous person as their ancestor, such as the Taoist ancestor Li Er, the ancestor of the Li family dynasty. As for whether it is true or false, no one cares, even Zhu Yuanzhang has been a poor peasant for dozens of generations. , wouldn’t he also say that he is 90% a descendant of Zhu Xi? If it weren’t for the fact that the time was really different, Zhu Xi died in 1200, and Zhu Yuanzhang was born in 1328, Zhu Yuanzhang planned to write Zhu Xi into his family tree.
Speaking of Zhu Xiluo, that is another legendary story.
There are some similarities between Zhu Xiluo and his ancestors. For example, Zhu Xiluo was also a monk, but Zhu Yuanzhang became a monk because he didn't have enough to eat, while Zhu Xiluo was a monk from the day he was born. Because he was born in a monk's temple. Unfortunately, the medical standards at that time were so poor that giving birth was like going through hell, and the mortality rate was too high. Mother Zhu passed away after giving birth to her child. As for the child’s father, it was difficult to verify in those days of war and chaos.
I have to say that Zhu Xiluo's surname is Zhu, which is very vivid. For example, he looks like a pig and can eat like a pig.
In the last years of the Shun Dynasty, there were internal and external troubles, the monk temple was also in a recession, and the world was in a cold state. Even the monks who went down the mountain to beg for alms had no income. The people of Dashun were really bad and had no sympathy. They became monks just to have enough food. When the other monks saw this, they could only leave, but Zhu Xiluo didn't leave because, for whatever reason, because he didn't know how to beg alms. He was like a spoiled child who had been pampered and pampered since he was a child. Apart from eating, I can do nothing. Well, I can still chant sutras, which is a compulsory course for a monk.
Finally, the only old monk in the temple couldn't bear it anymore. This boy would eat more than half of the food he asked for every day. Even the ascetic old monk couldn't stand such days.
One day, the old monk found Zhu Xiluo and said earnestly: "Xiao Zhu, you have been here for such a long time. It's time to go out for a walk. A man has ambitions in all directions. How can a small temple be tied up?" Hold your hands and feet."
But Zhu Xiluo disagreed: "I feel it's very good here. I sleep, eat, and chant sutras. I like this kind of life very much."
When the old monk heard this, he almost had a heart attack. After forcing himself to calm down, the old monk pretended to count with his fingers and shouted: "Oh!"
Zhu Xiluo was curious and asked, "Master, what's wrong with you?"
"The secrets of heaven must not be leaked, the secrets of heaven must not be leaked." The old monk closed his eyes.
Humans, to put it nicely, it’s shameless to ask questions, but to put it badly, you’re a bitch, with a strong curiosity that sometimes doesn’t even care about life.
Life in the monk's temple was already depressing. Today, it was the first time that he discovered that his master could tell fortunes. How could Zhu Xiluo not be surprised? So he asked, "Master, tell me quickly, tell me quickly, what's going on, what's going on?"
Seeing that his goal was achieved, the old monk pretended to be embarrassed and said, "It doesn't matter, I am already so old and I don't care about life and death, so why should I behave like a villain?"
Dusting off his patched monk's robe, the monk continued: "One eye of the stone man stirred up rebellion in the Yellow River and the world. I calculated with my fingers that you are the one who leads the world."
"Me?" Zhu Xiluo couldn't believe it. He still knew his abilities. Apart from being able to eat a little, he didn't have any abilities that he could use.
"Yes, it's you," the old monk said with certainty: "Now the world is in chaos, and there are powerful enemies outside, eyeing it. It's the time for us to save the common people."
"But, can I do it?" Zhu Xiluo still didn't believe in his ability.
"This is the responsibility given to you by God. You cannot avoid it. The people in the world are still in the heat of water. Monks are compassionate and should dedicate themselves to the people of the world." Obviously, the old monk was not a professional fortune teller, and his ability to deceive people was still so different that he felt awkward when what he said was inconsistent with what he said.
But it was more than enough to fool Zhu Xiluo. After all, the child was young, had never left the temple, and his mind was still a blank slate.
Zhu Xiluo hesitated again and again, then opened his mouth and said: "Forget it, it's quite dangerous. It's better to stay in the mountain for safety and have food and drink."
The old monk was heartbroken and covered his chest. It seemed that he had wasted so much saliva by playing the piano to a cow for so long.
But in order to live a happy life in the future, have enough to eat, and no longer feed freeloaders, the old monk can only be moved by emotion and reason, and talk about the things of saints from the righteousness of the family, well, okay, The effect is not big.
Finally, the old monk cried and said: "My child, you'd better go down the mountain. There are pig knuckles to eat at the foot of the mountain."
"What, what, what, what?" Zhu Xiluo's eyes lit up when he heard about the food. He was like a wolf that had encountered its prey, and he was very eager for pork knuckles. After all, when he stayed in the mountains, the monks didn't eat meat, so they ate everything. Simple food, no oily smell at all,
"Pig, pork knuckles, greasy and delicious," the old monk said in a low voice. After all, it was really inappropriate to talk about pork knuckles in front of the Buddha.
"Okay, I'll go down the mountain,"
In this way, with the right time, right place and right people, Xiao Zhu succeeded.
Of course, these are unofficial records, and some are reserved and implicit. We can also speculate that Zhu Xiluo was driven down the mountain by his master because he ate too much. By chance, he came into contact with the profession of rebellion, and fell deeply in love with him. Got into this career.
Of course, future generations will still not write like this. They will only record that Zhu Xiluo was concerned about the world. Seeing the people displaced, with no clothes to cover their bodies, and no food to eat, they had no choice but to embark on the road of rebellion.
According to normal people's thinking, the possibility of success for people like Zhu Xiluo is almost zero. Who would have thought that God not only opened doors and windows for Zhu Xiluo, but also lifted the roof for him. About Xiao Zhu The history of struggle can be written in another book. The title of the book is "How Emperor Xiao Zhu Was Made", and then add a dash. This book is purely fictitious. If it is similar, it will definitely be a ghost.
Regardless of Zhu Xiluo, the Dashun Dynasty lasted less than a hundred years. It was like a building under construction. Every floor was cut corners and its collapse was inevitable. With internal and external troubles, the building would collapse with just a push from anyone. It is estimated that the ancestral graves of Xiao Zhu's family were buried well, and Zhu Xiluo just happened to catch up.
Of course, in order to prove himself and Zhu Xiluo's legitimacy, Zhu Xiluo's ancestor became the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty - Zhu Chongba. In order to pay tribute to his ancestor Zhu Chongba, Zhu Xiluo also changed the country's name to the Ming Dynasty in order to distinguish Zhu Ming. Dynasty, historians call this Ming Dynasty the Ming Empire.
