"Your Majesty, have you seen the changes around you?"
Chu Feng picked up the wine glass filled with wine and pointed at the surrounding buildings.
The middle-aged man nodded. He had already seen it on the way here. Behind the trees were densely packed tall buildings like boxes.
Chu Feng brought the wine glass to his mouth, drank it in one gulp, and then recited a poem he had read before.
"It's a pity to have a dilapidated building with a single tree. The ancestral temple is dimly lit and recalls the past. Travelers in Jingshan are nostalgic, and the emperor hates the cuckoo."
The middle-aged man looked away when he heard Chu Feng reciting a poem, and inadvertently glanced at the stone tablet next to the pavilion. When he saw the word "Jingshan", his expression was startled.
"The Meishan Mountain of the past was the Jingshan Mountain in Tao Chang's poem."
Chu Feng moved over, held the middle-aged man's shoulders, and in a flash, he arrived under a crooked-neck tree.
"This is where I hanged myself."
The middle-aged man, that is, Chongzhen, seemed to have returned to that moment of despair, helplessness, and desolation, with a painful expression on his face.
"The world pities you for your integrity of 'the emperor guards the country, the king dies for the country', and they praise you so much." Chu Feng didn't wait for Chongzhen to show his shame, and added: "There are also many people who say that you are suspicious and allow others to observe you. You are so strong. And Shang Qi. Ren Cha will be harsh and ungrateful, while Shang Qi will be anxious and confused."
Chongzhen just smiled bitterly and said nothing.
Black Cat, who always talked a lot, couldn't help but interjected: "They are all idiots who can stand and talk without backache. According to the method of Lao Zhu's family, the princes are all raised like pigs. According to the current calculation, one is only sixteen A year-old pig, uh, sorry, he is an ignorant young man who was forced to the throne. There are a pack of wolves looking around outside, and a group of selfish old foxes inside. While trying to prove himself, he is being fooled by the old foxes around him. Shake it off. God also came out to cause trouble, and the situation became worse and worse. Out of embarrassment and unwillingness to take the blame, he raised his butcher knife and slaughtered dozens of bastards. In the end, he was at the end of his rope. Your Majesty, I wonder what my evaluation is?"
Chongzhen smiled even more bitterly when he heard the black cat's evaluation of him. He didn't expect that the person who evaluated him most accurately was a cat.
"You can see clearly?"
Chu Feng looked at the black cat with a smile.
"I am reading "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" recently, and I am inspired by what I feel."
The black cat lowered his head, looking like I was very honest.
Chu Feng smiled and looked at Chongzhen.
"The courage to defend the capital is commendable, but from the perspective of the country, it is a foolish act. Why didn't Your Majesty flee south and follow the example of the former Song Dynasty and rule by crossing the river?"
As a Taoist priest, Chu Feng had a lot of free time and read a lot of books. He was deeply touched by the shocking tragedy in the late Ming Dynasty.
If Chongzhen had not died, fled to Jinling, woke up, and cheered up, maybe there would not have been a situation where tens of millions of people were killed and injured in Shenzhou and Luchen.
Chongzhen smiled bitterly and told the reason.
It turned out that he did have plans to flee south at that time. After discussing with a close minister named Li Mingrui, he proposed it in the morning meeting. Unexpectedly, he was strongly opposed by ministers Chen Yan and Guang Shiheng. Guang Shiheng even lost his voice during the incident. He cried bitterly and cursed the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and him. Finally, he gave up on moving the capital.
After hearing this, Black Cat sighed.
"You are really stupid. If it were my Ah Ma, you would have been happily eating barbecue in Jinling City before the minister could say anything... In ten or eight years, after cleaning up the broken mountains and rivers, we will raise our troops and march north. Fuck Shunzhi to death"
Chongzhen was stunned for a few seconds and then smiled bitterly. In this regard, he was indeed not as decisive as Emperor Wu of Wei.
"Your Majesty, do you know what happened to Chen Yan and Guang Shiheng who claimed to live and die with the country?"
Black Cat said suddenly.
"They didn't die for their country?"
Chongzhen asked uncertainly.
In his memory, these two people made impassioned speeches in the court, and they were regarded as models of human ministers and moral models.
The black cat chuckled.
"As soon as Li Zicheng broke the city, Chen Yan and Guang Shiheng surrendered readily. Li Zicheng, who had not found any money from the treasury and could not reward his subordinates, ordered all the civil and military officials of the court to be arrested and tortured. Chen Yan took out millions of taels The money could not save his life, but was chopped into pieces with a knife. The beautiful concubine in the house was taken away by the peasant army to give birth to a baby. Guang Shiheng, an official with little money, barely survived. Later, Li Zicheng was defeated by the Manchus. , Guang Siheng directly rubbed oil on the soles of his feet and slipped away. Tsk tsk, the actor is so sharp."
Chongzhen's eyes widened and his breathing became rapid.
"What happened to this hypocrite?"
"Someone has avenged you." The black cat chuckled: "Guang Shiheng fled to Jinling City and wanted to continue to be an official. Ma Shiying, the ruler, tried to prevent Guang Shiheng from moving south, causing the death of the late emperor; He was a thief first, and he was cut off for the reason of being a treasonous person."
"Good kill"
The hatred in Chongzhen's eyes eased slightly.
"At present, the world is undergoing great changes, and troubled times are coming. Your Majesty, would you like to stay temporarily in Pindao's Taoist temple?"
Chu Feng, who had been silent until now, spoke.
Chongzhen looked at Chu Feng and cupped his hands.
"Thank you, Taoist Priest, for taking me in."
Chu Feng hummed, casually tore open a crack in space, and disappeared with Chongzhen and Black Cat.
…
On the bench in the park, Master Zhang Wei and Master Hui Hai were sitting and playing with their mobile phones.
In front of me, two fashionably dressed girls passed by.
Zhang Wei subconsciously glanced up, one was seventy and the other was eighty.
When Zhang Wei lowered his head and was about to continue playing with his mobile phone, he heard very harsh words.
"Including this one, there are a hundred of them. Are they the same as I said? Listless, casually dressed, average figure, rough skin, and completely unattractive hair."
"I now believe that Chinese men are not worthy of Chinese women. The difference is too far."
I sit here properly and offend anyone.
Zhang Wei was very angry.
"What did you two say? Stop"
The bad-tempered Master Hui Hai had already stood up.
The two girls who hadn't walked far stopped, turned around, and looked at Hui Hai calmly.
"What's wrong?"
Master Huihai pulled up Zhang Wei who was still sitting.
"Say what you just said again."
One of the girls in a white T-shirt snorted and said: "Just say it, I'm afraid you have teeth. This person's hair is too long, he is dressed casually, his skin is extremely rough, he has no muscles at all, and he looks like he has not woken up." Looks like, is there a problem with using him as proof that Chinese men are not worthy of Chinese women?"
Zhang Wei's heart felt like he had provoked someone.
Master Hui Hai looked at the girl with contempt after hearing this.
"If you can tell whether a Chinese man is worthy of a Chinese woman, what kind of person are you? Even a poor monk can tell."
"You damn bald donkey, how dare you scold me!"
The girl wearing a white T-shirt was not at all afraid of the tall and powerful Master Hui Hai, and she scolded him whenever she opened her mouth.
Master Huihai was not angry. He glanced at the men in the park and sneered: "You just said you counted a hundred men. Do you know how many men are desperately saving money to buy a house in order to marry a wife? Poor monk This monk all knows that society’s requirements for men are to buy a house and marry a wife. In order to fulfill their responsibilities, men have no time, energy, and money to clean up themselves. What’s wrong? If men were like women like you, they would spend all their earnings. All the money is used to dress myself up, so I don’t get messy.”
The girl in the white T-shirt looked at me a few times and was speechless, and her face turned ugly.
Another girl in a purple T-shirt snorted disdainfully.
"I knew you would say this. You are lazy and you are still making excuses. Why do you have time to play games? How do you make money playing games?"
