Secretary Li Supervisor, manager of the factory.
Zhu Yunwen walked quickly into the Jingchang Villa, followed by Dai Yuanli, the miracle doctor who originally wanted to treat Zhu Yunwen.
Entering the room, a smell of Chinese medicine spreads to your nose.
Zhu Yunwen quickly walked to the bed, looked at Luo Guanzhong who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, and shouted in a low voice: "Mr. Luo, I'm here to see you."
Luo Guanzhong heard the sound and slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were cloudy and unfocused.
"Dr. Dai."
Zhu Yunwen stood up and shouted.
Dai Yuanli hurriedly bowed to the bedside, picked up Luo Guanzhong's wrist, felt for his pulse, then looked into Luo Guanzhong's eyes, and explored Luo Guanzhong's neck with his fingers. Finally he stood up and shook his head slightly at Zhu Yunwen without saying a word.
Zhu Yunwen knew what this meant and did not blame Dai Yuanli. He only waved his hand to let him exit.
"You go out too."
Zhu Yunwen glanced at Shuangxi.
Shuangxi agreed, followed Dai Yuanli out of the door, and closed the door behind him.
Zhu Yunwen sat beside the bed, grabbed Luo Guanzhong's skinny hand, and said, "Mr. Luo, can you still hear me?"
Luo Guanzhong felt weak, and his consciousness seemed to be peeling away from his body, but he was powerless. Someone was talking in his ear, but it was very blurry, and he couldn't hear what he was saying at all.
"I still have unfinished business, I can't just leave."
Luo Guanzhong's will was struggling, but there was always a flash of black and white in his eyes, which seemed to be the legendary impermanence of black and white.
"Mr. Luo!"
A voice broke into the chaotic consciousness, like light, tearing through the darkness.
Luo Guanzhong trembled slightly, his originally distracted eyes slowly condensed, and under Zhu Yunwen's shocked eyes, he sat up, as if he was not sick at all.
Zhu Yunwen looked at Luo Guanzhong who got out of bed and saluted him, and a word flashed in his mind:
Reflection.
"Please take a seat."
Zhu Yunwen said quickly.
Luo Guanzhong was also aware of his own state. He smiled at the vicissitudes of life and said: "Before the common people left, there were emperors to see me off. I have walked through this world without any regrets."
"Mr. Luo has not yet seen the prosperous Ming Dynasty, so he should regret it."
Zhu Yunwen said sadly.
Luo Guanzhong looked at Zhu Yunwen with great satisfaction and said: "Your Majesty is young and promising. In this Ming Dynasty, bad governance will be eradicated and the people will be at peace. Although the common people have never seen the prosperous times mentioned in the history books, they can imagine it and cannot imagine it." In thirty years, this empire will prosper and will become the first-class country in the world."
Zhu Yunwen shook his head slightly and said, "Sir, you don't know how big the world is, so that's why you make such remarks?"
"Is there any country stronger than Ming Dynasty?"
Luo Guanzhong asked curiously.
Seeing Luo Guanzhong's interest, Zhu Yunwen pointed in the air and said, "Sir, you should know that in the north of the Ming Dynasty are the Tatar and Oara Mongolian tribes, right? To the north is the ice-covered Siberia, and to the west there is also a country named For the Rurik dynasty. From there, further west, there are many countries."
"There are countries named Italy and Portugal. Their navigation skills are quite powerful. To the north are Britain and France. At this time, the war between Britain and France is still going on. This war will last for 116 years, but now it has only been fought for more than 60 years. , and will continue to fight..."
Luo Guanzhong looked at Zhu Yunwen in surprise and sketched out pictures one after another. It seemed that these pictures were so unreal.
Zhu Yunwen pointed to the west and said: "To the west of my Ming Dynasty, there are Yilibali, the Golden Horde, the Ottoman Empire, and the Timurid Empire. Don't you know, sir, the great empire of the Timurid Empire? Khan is very ambitious and has always wanted to conquer the Ming Dynasty, but don’t worry, as long as I am here, he will not succeed..."
"Looking south of the Ming Dynasty, there are Annan, Champa, Luzon, and Bali... Beyond the distant ocean, there are humans with black skin. It is a mysterious continent..."
Luo
Guanzhong imagined the world described by Zhu Yunwen, his eyes full of splendor.
"So, although our Ming Dynasty is strong, this world is not as big as our Chinese ancestry. If our generation does not work hard to become stronger, within a few hundred years, some Danwan countries will ravage us!"
Luo Guanzhong said with a smile on his face: "Is the world the emperor said true?"
Zhu Yunwen nodded solemnly, with a somewhat sad expression, and said, "I am here to relieve your boredom."
Luo Guanzhong knew that what Zhu Yunwen wanted was for Quan to see him off.
"The common people have always had a mystery in their hearts. Can you please clarify it to the emperor?"
Luo Guanzhong asked softly.
Zhu Yunwen poured a cup of tea, handed it to Luo Guanzhong, and said: "Sir, what I want to ask is, why do I know you, why have I read "The Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and why do I know that "Water Margin" is at your place?"
Luo Guanzhong looked at Zhu Yunzhong solemnly.
Yes, this is my biggest doubt in months.
Luo Guanzhong knew very well that the first meeting outside Tang's Bookstore was the first time two people met. Before that, he did not know the emperor, and it was impossible for the emperor to know him.
However, he knows himself and is familiar with the "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms" written by himself!
This is impossible to explain.
Luo Guanzhong would often think of these things, and eventually fall into endless doubts.
Zhu Yunwen thought for a moment, glanced at the door, and then said to Luo Guanzhong: "I had a dream. I dreamed that hundreds of years later, people were still talking about the Three Kingdoms with the "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms" written by my husband, but at that time , the name of this book is "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"
"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms? Dream?"
Luo Guanzhong looked at Zhu Yunwen in confusion.
Zhu Yunwen stood up, put his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice: "Sir, just think of it as a dream. In fact, sir, you can remember that the masterpiece of the Three Kingdoms has lasted for hundreds of years and has been praised by future generations."
"Is that so?"
Luo Guanzhong laughed.
Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly and said: "Yes, although the way you respected Liu and demoted Cao made many people angry, the greatness of your talent and the work of the Three Kingdoms cannot be denied in any era."
Luo Guanzhong's eyes became profound and he said calmly: "That was just a dream."
Zhu Yunwen said seriously: "What if this dream is called history?"
Luo Guanzhong looked at Zhu Yunwen in surprise, his astonished expression slowly receded, leaving only relaxation and naturalness, and said: "That's it, I have no regrets."
Zhu Yunwen felt a pain in his heart as he looked at Luo Guanzhong who slowly closed his eyes.
He is gone and has left this world.
"the river is long and tempestuous, it was like a hero……"
Zhu Yunwen sang softly, using this song Linjiang Xian to bid farewell to the originator of Zhang Hui style and the great king of the early Ming Dynasty.
According to history, he should be able to live until next year, but he passed away this year.
Zhu Yunwen looked at the "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms" on the desk and knew that he had been revising and improving it, day and night, tirelessly, until his body could no longer bear it.
He spent his life perfecting his works.
The door opened.
Zhu Yunwen walked out, the autumn wind was bleak, and finally became cold at this time.
"Your Majesty, please ask the factory for instructions on how to bury Mr. Luo? It's best to prepare as soon as possible."
Shuangxi walked behind Zhu Yunwen and asked carefully.
Zhu Yunwen sighed and said, "Is his family in the capital?"
"When I return to the emperor, I am not in the capital. I only have an old servant."
Shuangxi said.
Zhu Yunwen looked into the distance. Luo Guanzhong's contribution to literature was worthy of recognition, but to the Ming Dynasty, he was just an ordinary scholar without an official status. It was inappropriate to be arranged according to official standards.
"Send someone to send him back to Qi County, Taiyuan.
, fallen leaves return to their roots, he has been wandering for half his life, and it’s time to go back. In his coffin, put a copy of "The Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms". "
Zhu Yunwen said lonely.
Shuangxi agreed and slowly retreated.
The commander of the Security Bureau, Shi Gu Sanshen, walked hurriedly and saluted as he approached: "Your Majesty, an urgent report has been sent from Dingyuan. The victims who came to Beijing to report will arrive in the capital soon."
Zhu Yunwen retracted his thoughts and said to Gu Sanshen: "Order the navy commander Gu Pu to prepare the ferry and report it to the Ministry of Industry. The construction of residences three doors away must be carried out as soon as possible."
"According to the order."
Gu Sanshen agreed.
Seeing that Gu Sanshen hadn't left, Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but ask, "What else is there?"
Gu Sanshen hesitated for a moment and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Yushi Dong Yong impeached Navy Commander Chen Xuan for twelve counts. Now ten of them have been found out, and Chen Xuan deserves to die. I would like to ask the Ministry of War, the Governor's Office and the Ministry of Punishment to I wanted to search the house for inspection, but the governor's office and the Ministry of War blocked it, so I wanted to request an order to search Chen Xuan's house to confiscate his property."
Zhu Yunwen thought for a while and ordered: "Since there is a problem, let's get to the bottom of it. It's not like officials to protect each other. Go tell Duke Wei and Ru Shangshu that I also want to see how much wealth Chen Xuan has. But you have to remember Stay here and don’t hurt his family.”
"I obey the decree."
Gu Sanshen accepted the order and left.
Zhu Yunwen raised his hand and rubbed his brow. There are really endless things in this world.
After sneezing twice in succession, Zhu Yunwen was taken back to Kunning Palace by Ma Enhui.
After taking the pulse, Dai Yuanli said with relief: "Your Majesty is just suffering from stagnation of Qi in your heart and excessive worry, which caused evil and cold to enter your body. You only need to suffer for a few days, take medicine, and rest for a few days to recover."
"Your Majesty, the imperial doctor has asked you to rest. You can't work so hard these days."
Ma Enhui advised worriedly.
Zhu Yunwen sat back on the couch and said with a smile: "I'm just a little sick, nothing serious. Double happiness. I send it to Dai Yuan envoy."
"Brother the Emperor."
Xu Miaojin carried some supplements, walked towards Zhu Yunwen, and said with a smile: "I heard that the emperor's brother has a cold, Miaojin came here specially to visit."
Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Aren't you here to urge me to ask you when I will allow you to open a girls' school?"
Xu Miaojin waved her hand and said Yingying: "How could it be? Now that the Imperial College is reforming, there are enough things that I am too busy to take care of. Besides, there are constant turmoil in the court. If I advocate the establishment of a women's school at this time, wouldn't it cause trouble for the emperor? "
"Look, Queen, she has become a loyal minister."
Zhu Yunwen joked.
Ma Enhui's originally cold face suddenly dissipated. She rolled her eyes at Zhu Yunwen and said to Xu Miaojin: "Persuade him well and let him rest and stop thinking about state affairs all day long."
Xu Miaojin looked at the somewhat angry Ma Enhui, raised her eyebrows at Zhu Yunwen, and said: "The Queen is right, the Emperor needs to listen..."
"I just praised you for being a loyal minister, and you changed the court so quickly..." Zhu Yunwen despised Xu Miaojin's stance, and then changed the topic and said: "If you don't enter the palace, I will still find you. Now you can let go of the Imperial College." We are preparing to build the Capital Junior College."
"What is Capital Junior College?"
Xu Miaojin blinked, a little confused, she had never heard of it.
Zhu Yunwen got up and got out of bed, took out a sketch from the papers on his desk, handed it to Xu Miaojin, and said: "This is the blueprint of the Capital Elementary School that I drew. I plan to use boys and girls between the ages of six and twelve as the source of students. There are one to six halls. At the beginning, they are all in the first hall. Those who pass the assessment once a year will be promoted to the second hall..."
"After graduating from the Sixth Hall, students can participate in the Imperial College Examination. Those who pass, regardless of gender, will enter the Imperial College and become Imperial Students. Judging by their grades, the civil servants have nothing to say, right?"
"Furthermore, it takes six years for the first batch of junior college students to graduate. After six years, the reform of the Imperial College should also be completely changed. Their ideas should be less stubborn and pedantic, right?"
