Failure comes too quickly to bear.

Emperor Jianwen vomited blood without surprise.

After spitting up, he wiped the corners of his mouth and began to reflect, he really couldn't understand, King Yan was really so powerful? I can't beat him if I almost empty my family.

If 300,000 is not enough, it will be 500,000, and if 500,000 is gone, it will be 600,000, and the number of troops is increasing, but why is it losing faster and faster?

Geng Bingwen was not good at attacking, so he managed to defend Zhending City. Li Jinglong is a straw bag, so he sent Ping'an to recall Yu Tongyuan, the general left by the Hongwu Dynasty, but if he could count it, he sent all of them out, why did he still lose the battle?

If Xu Huizu had not been summoned separately and ordered to lead tens of thousands of people as the queen of the army, I am afraid that King Yan would have entered Shandong at this time.

600,000 troops, you can hear a sound when you smash into the water, right? As a result, not only did I not hear the sound, but the water did not splash.

The more Emperor Jianwen thought about it, the more depressed he became, and the more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became. A panic gradually rose in his unwillingness, and he suddenly realized that if he continued like this, the situation would definitely be reversed, and once King Yan had the advantage on the battlefield, who else would be able to stop him?

What if you are orthodox in the world? What if you are the heir chosen by Emperor Tai-Zugao?

Although King Jin Gong died, his son is still alive and well. King Yan dared to blatantly say that his mother was Empress Xiaoci Gao, and spread rumors everywhere, saying that Emperor Tai-Zu-Gao liked him very much, and wanted to pass on the throne to him, and by the way, he poured a scoop of dirty water on himself, what else in this world did Zhu Di dare not do?

Jing is difficult to clear the side of the monarch? XX is a rebellion! The wolf's ambition is obvious!

Emperor Jianwen was extremely angry, waved his hand to sweep away the sparseness on the case, the brush and inkstone fell to the ground, the ink splashed, and the hem of the golden clothes was dyed black.

The eunuchs who were waiting in the warm pavilion all knelt on the ground, and the palace people outside the door hung their heads one after another, their faces turned pale, and they didn't dare to make a sound.

Although there is a sign of benevolence and love, it is rare for Emperor Jianwen to give a smile to the eunuchs in the palace, and once he loses his temper, it is often them who bear the anger

Wang Jinghong, the eunuch of the inner chamberlain, waited outside the warm pavilion, listening carefully to the movement in the room, Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai, who were dressed in people's clothes, followed behind him, hesitating and not deciding whether to go in at this time.

Although it is not easy to see the emperor, it is not a good time to ask for an official position when the emperor is unhappy.

The two looked at each other and sighed, the hope of official reinstatement seemed to be getting farther and farther away from them.

It was not only Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng who were disappointed, but also the new scholars who passed the palace exam not long ago.

As a newcomer in the workplace, everyone is full of excitement and looking forward to showing their talents, but unluckily, they encountered a solar eclipse after the palace examination!

Qin Tian Prison said "bad omen, bad luck", and they were completely beaten into the cold palace.

The younger ones can also apply to continue their studies in the National Prison, and the older ones are not so lucky. I have studied hard for many years, in order to leap into the dragon gate, to pay homage to the official, I don't want to jump over the dragon gate, but I didn't have the golden light of the drum music, and I didn't get the benefits, but I fell into the water with a puff and fell very lightly.

Want to go ashore? Keep up the hard work.

Thirty old Ming Jing, fifty young jinshi, thousands of troops and horses squeezed across the single-plank bridge, how many opponents were left behind, kicked to the bottom of the bridge, are they easy?

Waiting for the election of officials? This will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Month!

Want to go through the relationship and apply to be a gentleman? The master shook his finger, that was the old rule in the Hongwu period, and Emperor Jianwen, who revived the Zhou ceremony, had already said that he would break the tradition and not adopt it.

It is true that Emperor Jianwen attaches great importance to scholars, but King Yan is too happy, and he really doesn't have much energy to pay attention to these new talents.

Compared with others, the first and third are better treated, and after all, they are the champions appointed by Emperor Jianwen, so they always have to take care of them. It is impossible to give the six official departments immediately, and only the Tai students in the Hongwu period have this treatment. But the treatment can't be too bad, Emperor Jianwen simply waved his pen, from the champion to Tanhua and awarded Hanlin to repair, and assigned to Fang Xiaoru's subordinates, to study Zhou Li together, and repair books together.

During the reign of Emperor Jianwen, only this palace examination was held, and the hand-picked champion Hu Jing, Bangyan Wang Gen, and Tanhua Li Guan were all well-educated people, with first-class articles, and the three outlines of benevolence, righteousness and morality came when they opened their mouths.

During the rebellion of King Yan, these few people scolded him as a rebellious minister and thief, and everyone was punished. The champion Hu Jing also denounced King Yan in the palace examination article, and won an additional commendation from Emperor Jianwen, giving him the first place that should have been given to Wang Gen, which became a "dark box-manipulation-work" in the history books.

Later historical facts proved that this dark box-manipulation was very unsuccessful, even if he judged people by appearance, Emperor Jianwen was not as good as his grandfather.

When King Yan entered Nanjing, and the country changed hands, Emperor Jianwen was optimistic about Lu's talents, and more than 90 percent of them changed jobs and re-employed, without a little psychological pressure, but Wang Gen, who was disgusted by him, was martyred for the country and was loyal to the country, and his ambition was commendable.

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world, and even if there is, it is useless to Emperor Jianwen.

Hu Guang, Li Guan, Xie Jin, Yang Rong, which one was not promoted by Emperor Jianwen? Before these people could shine under Zhu Yunwen's hands, they were picked by Zhu Di.

Zhu Di has always been not very polite to his nephew, and the talent has been robbed, and the throne cannot be let go.

What else can Emperor Jianwen do? went underground to find Zhu Yuanzhang to complain, saying that he was kicked off the throne by his uncle?

Feasible - sex - zero.

It is worth mentioning that the top players in the second year of Jianwen are all from Jiangxi and from the same mile. In the second year of Yongle, the same person from Jiangxi won the top seven in the imperial examination.

Jiangxi students use iron-clad facts to prove to the world, what is a scholar? That's it!

But no matter how much he is a scholar, he can't get ahead if he can't be reused by the court.

Therefore, Hu Jing and the three of them must concentrate on cultivating the book in the position of Hanlin cultivation, and the rest of the jinshi must continue to survive. When King Yan enters Nanjing, they can be martyred, promoted, and home, and begin to write another period of their lives in history.

Jinshi in the second year of Jianwen, after Emperor Yongle ascended the throne, the prefix was changed to the thirty-third year of Hongwu. Until the Ming Dynasty officially recognized the legitimacy of Emperor Jianwen's reign, it had to be changed again.

Such a peculiar experience is also unique in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

When the ministers of the court and the central government learned the news that the 600,000 imperial army had been defeated by the Yan army, they discussed it in private and made their own plans. But in the early dynasties, in the Fengtian Palace, there were quails installed together.

Emperor Jianwen sat on the dragon chair, looked at the group of quails in front of him, inhaled, exhaled, and inhaled again, so that he couldn't bite his teeth.

This is the minister of the court, this is the pillar of the country, and the humerus of me!

him XX!

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have a good plan?"

A good idea? No.

"Really?"

Not really.

The civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty didn't know what to ask, and their heads shook like rattles. Vow to exert the quail spirit to the end.

Emperor Jianwen was speechless, and a sadness suddenly surged in his heart.

As the saying goes, those who have attained the Tao help more and those who have lost the Tao have little help, and he thinks that he is not a faint king, and not long ago he also reduced the field endowment in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. At that time, each of these ministers praised him for his merits, and even compared them with Yao Shun.

And now?

Emperor Jianwen clenched his fists violently and slammed them on the dragon chair. With a muffled sound, the head of the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu hung lower, and those who reacted quickly immediately fell to the ground and shouted, "Your Majesty is angry, take care of the dragon body!" ”

While chanting, he wept bitterly, and tears rained down.

"The minister is incompetent, he can't share the worries for His Majesty, the minister is guilty!"

This move inspired the others, and they knelt down to plead guilty, Wuchen was still worried about face, but Wenchen didn't care about that, and opened his throat and howled.

Ask for advice? Cry.

Ask for sin? Keep crying.

Crying like this, no matter what the emperor wants to do, there is no way.

Emperor Jianwen was so angry that his face turned pale, and the ministers cried even harder.

Jin Wuwei, who was on duty outside the hall, and General Dahan looked at each other, they were fine before, why did they cry again?

After crying to the extreme, several elderly civil officials actually begged the bones of the palace, claiming that they were incompetent, and only begged to be dismissed and returned to their hometowns.

"The minister is incompetent, the minister is ......"

Crying and crying, the left waiter of the ministry fainted, the right waiter of the household department fell, and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites foamed at the mouth, and later, even the ranks of military attachés were crumbling.

Emperor Jianwen's teeth were crushed, and his liver began to hurt.

I really want to pick up a brick and shoot these bastards to death, so strong as a bear and dizzy?! He just wanted to faint!

The early dynasty turned into a farce, and the Fengtian Temple almost became a vegetable market.

When he retired from the dynasty, the ministers of civil and military affairs all wore a pair of walnut eyes, but they walked fast under their feet, for fear of being summoned by the emperor again if they took a slow step.

Back in the warm pavilion, Emperor Jianwen was so angry that he smashed the cup and flipped the table, and immediately summoned Qitai Huang Zicheng. Compared with the quails of the Manchu Dynasty, these two people can at least say a few words of truth and come up with a few ideas. Even if the idea is not reliable, it is at least a consolation.

Prove that he is not really alone.

Less than two years after ascending the throne, Zhu Yunwen was already physically and mentally exhausted. He never thought that being an emperor would be so tiring. Is there a more torturous profession than this? Have it?

Emperor Jianwen in the city of Nanjing sighed, but the king of Yan who returned to Beiping was full of spring-wind.

The gate of Beiping was opened, and the prince Zhu Gaochi led the civil and military forces in the city to greet him personally. King Yan and Zhu Gaoxu dismounted successively, first a father-son love and brotherly filial piety, and then everyone shouted that the prince was majestic, His Royal Highness was a thousand years old, and the victorious army entered the city mightily.

Due to the large number of captured southern troops and unable to enter the city, the Yanshan guard was ordered to camp outside the city in case there was a change at night.

King Yan was always concerned about the injury on Shen Xuan's shoulder, and sent a good doctor from the palace to treat him, and said that the matter of camping could be temporarily handed over to Weizhong Tongzhi to deal with, and he would return to the palace with him to recuperate.

"Thank you for your care, Xuan is fine."

Thanks to King Yan for his kindness, Shen Xuan insisted on staying outside the city with his subordinates.

King Yan couldn't, so he had to tell him to rest well, and when these southern troops were settled, he would pull out the camp and enter the city.

In the big tent, Shen Xuan sat open.

Dr. Liu's method of treating arrow wounds is very clever, but Shen Xuan took the wound into battle, and fought a fierce battle with a fierce man like Ping'an, and he could not rest after the war, and he hurried for days, the wind and rain were blowing, and the wound was red and swollen, and there were signs of inflammation.

If it weren't for the removal of the armor and the opening of the coat, Meng would never have imagined that Shen Xuan's injuries would be so serious. If it were an ordinary person, it should have been down a long time ago.

After cleaning his hands, Dr. Liu took out a knife from the medicine box, roasted it on the fire, and began to gesture at the wound on Shen Xuan's shoulder.

Meng was shocked.

"Doctor Liu, what are you going to do?!"

"Heal for the command." As he spoke, he was about to go under the knife.

"That's it?"

Doctor Liu glanced at Meng strangely, what else could he do otherwise?

"Don't give some anesthetic before digging the meat? Isn't there a decoction like hemp boiling powder? ”

Doctor Liu's eyes widened, when did he say that he was going to dig meat? He's a doctor, not a butcher!

Meng Shishilang pointed out his hand, and the knife was taken out, what else is there to deny?!

Doctor Liu and Meng couldn't make sense, so they simply went to see Shen Xuan, "Commander Shen, you see?" ”

Shen Xuan smiled at Meng, very charming.

"Meng Tongzhi."

"Humble duty."

"Can the camp be properly placed?"

“……”

In short, Meng Tongzhi was tactfully invited out of the tent.

Standing outside the tent, blown by the night breeze, my head suddenly cleared up a lot.

Is he disgusted?

Meng Shishilang pouted, squatted on the ground, and drew a circle.

The soldiers patrolling the camp passed by and saw a shadow under Shen's tent, they were startled at first, recognized Meng by the light of the fire, and hurriedly said, "I have seen Tongzhi below."

Meng turned his head, "Ding Zongqi?" ”

"It's humble, dare to ask why Tongzhi is here?"

"The moonlight is nice tonight, suitable for watching the moon."

Looking at the moon?

Ding Zongqi and the patrol soldiers looked up at the sky together, the dark clouds covered the moon, and the stars could not be seen, looking at the moon in such weather?

Dr. Liu came out of the tent with the medicine box on his back, and happened to see seven or eight military men looking up at the sky with their necks up, their faces full of incredulity, as if watching a strange scene, and they couldn't help but glance at the air curiously, there was nothing?

Seeing Dr. Liu come out, Meng hurriedly stood up, "Meng Mou didn't have a case just now, please forgive me." ”

"Meng Tongzhi is worried about commanding, and the old man knows how to command." Doctor Liu said with a smile, "The commander's injuries are aggravated, and I am afraid that there will be a fever tonight, so it is best to leave someone in the tent to guard." ”

Meng nodded, carefully inquired about the matters that needed attention, and personally sent Dr. Liu out of the camp.

When I returned, it was drizzling and the wind was a little cold.

The Yanwang Mansion is holding a celebration banquet, and the residents in the city are like a festival, which is very lively.

Zheng He led people to bring wine and meat to the soldiers outside the city, and said: "The prince has an order, and he will have fun with all the soldiers." ”

The steamed buns the size of the fist of the military man, the cakes with steam, the large pieces of stew, and the oily barbecue are packed in wooden barrels, and the lid is not tightly covered, and the aroma wafts all the way.

The exquisite dishes at the banquet are extravagant and unaffordable for the soldiers, and only this is the only way to satisfy the appetite.

Meng couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. I never knew that the stew would taste so fragrant, and the steamed buns and cakes with the heat would be so tempting.

The military rations of the Yan army were all counted, the soldiers ate dry cakes for marching and fighting, and the dried meat made of horse meat was distributed according to the head, not every day. This kind of stew and barbecue can only be eaten in dreams.

Shen Xuan's meal was prepared separately, Zheng He personally carried it, and there was a pot of good wine.

When the soldiers lined up to divide the meat and steamed buns, Meng led Zheng He into Shen Xuan's big tent.

The smell of medicine in the tent had not yet dissipated, and Shen Xuan had changed into a crimson military attache uniform, sitting on the collapse, and his complexion was much better than before.

Zheng He first inquired about Shen Xuan's injury, and then conveyed the theme idea that King Yan cared about and valued his nephew, and then relayed the condolences from Princess Yan's relatives, as for the three brothers of Zhu Gaochi, Zheng He did not mention it.

He is a close attendant of King Yan, it doesn't matter if he sends a message for the princess, he dares to have close contact with the prince brothers in private, and he really wants to loosen his bones.

"When our family came, the prince and the princess were injured, so they should pay attention to their meals and don't drink alcohol."

"I'm tired of being obedient," Shen Xuan's expression was gentle, and he didn't see the fierceness of slashing people on the battlefield at all, "Dai Xuan thanked the princess for her care." ”

Zheng He smiled even more kindly, don't look at Shen Xuan did not attend today's celebration banquet, at the banquet, the prince mentioned this "nephew" several times. The Tao of this can be understood immediately as long as the mind can turn.

Not a subordinate, but a family member.

Shen Xuan is enough to compete with Zhang Yuzhu in front of King Yan, and even more dominant.

"Meng Tongzhi, the prince has an order, Tongzhi will enter the city with Commander Shen tomorrow, and he has something to order."

"Humble Orders."

Meng hugged his fists and saluted, and Zheng He turned sideways to avoid it. After saying what should be said, there is no need to continue to stay, we have to rush back to the palace as soon as possible. In his position, how many people are staring, Hou Xian went to the grassland, and another dog appeared in the battle of Baigou River, and the prince wanted to name him personally, this is a fierce enemy, and he must be guarded against.

Sending Zheng He away, the aroma of food wafted throughout the camp. There were also people in the camp of the Southern Army not far away who sent dry food and meat, and the Southern Army did not expect that they would have such treatment, and they were suddenly moved, and immediately swore that they must die for King Yan!

In the eyes of these military men, a hundred sentences are not as tall as a bowl of meat.

King Yan has been crawling in the barracks since he was playing with mud, and he is in contact with these soldiers, how to break their mental defenses and make them fight for themselves willingly, naturally they are handy.

Emperor Jianwen is different, he has been exposed to Confucian classics since he was a child, the way of Confucius and Mencius, and he pays attention to convincing people with reason and convincing people with virtue.

Therefore, theory must not be divorced from reality, follow the academic school of Emperor Jianwen or switch to the practical school of Yan Wang? For the soldiers, the answer is obvious.

The officials of Nanjing City cried in front of Emperor Jianwen, and the surrendered troops outside Beiping City cried at the stewed meat and steamed buns in front of them, which did not make much difference at all, for the sake of jobs. It's just that the former hesitates between resigning and continuing to wait and see, while the latter has signed a contract and can take up his post at any time under the new boss.

Stewed meat and barbecue are not ordinary fragrant, Meng's stomach screams, I really want to be like the soldiers outside the tent, steamed buns and meat to bite, so that it is enjoyable. Shen Xuan took out a pair of chopsticks from the food box and handed them to him, "Accompany me." ”

The boss "treats" and can't help but give face.

Taking the chopsticks, Meng Shishilang looked at the dishes in front of him, the delicate and the amount was insufficient, and most of them were vegetarian dishes, to put it mildly, he was about to fade out of his mouth, he didn't want to eat vegetables, he wanted to eat meat!

The invitation of beauty is precious, but the desire for food is equally important.

Meng wanted to speak and stopped, but Shen Xuan didn't seem to see it, picked up the silver wine jug, and poured the clear wine into the marigold.

In the gurgling sound, the aroma of wine wafted into the nose.

The slender white fingers picked up the wine cup and brought it to his lips, and Meng's gaze also moved, watching his pale lips become moist, watching those dark eyes dyed with a smile, and the roots of his ears began to heat up.

Unintentionally, or deliberately?

I wanted to say something, but my mind went blank, my jaw was suddenly raised, my body was forced to lean forward, and my lips were soft. The crisp wine slid into his mouth, slid into his throat, and with a sweetness that he had never experienced before, it instantly turned into a fire and ignited in his belly.

What a strong wine!

With a bang, Meng blushed.

In his previous life, he was half a hero of the wine country, not to mention a thousand cups, but in this life, he really didn't have this ability.

Less than half a glass of wine, it's already on the head.

I just don't know if it's the problem with the wine, or if it's the wrong way to drink.

One bite, another bite.

The wine cup was empty, it was Shen Xuan who was drinking, but it was Meng who was drunk.

His chin was released, Meng instinctively shook his head and patted his cheek hard. No, it's still dizzy.

Shen Xuan supported his chin with one hand, lifted the silver kettle, and poured a glass of wine, "I have an injury on my body, so I shouldn't drink more." ”

Meng slapped his cheek again and looked at Shen Xuan, so?

"You can only taste it." Fingers wiped the corners of his lips, and a smile softened his eyes, "It's indeed a good wine." ”

Meng: "......"

Is there a problem with his comprehension or is he really drunk?

Isn't this person in front of you teasing him? Really, not?

"Tjuro's alcohol consumption is not very good." Shen Xuan took another sip of the wine cup, leaned over and fed it into Meng's mouth, "There is still some alcohol in the army." ”

Meng didn't speak, he thought he was drunk, grabbed Shen Xuan's neckline with both hands, and blocked it hard.

Drinker? To hell with it!

The smile in the dark eyes deepened, the big hand clasped the back of Meng's head, and the fingers combed through the hair, and the fragrance of wine was permeating.

Outside the tent, the soldiers of the Yanshan guard scrambled for the last few pieces of barbecue, and inside the tent, Meng was completely drunk. When Shen Xuan let go, he could barely even pick up chopsticks.

"Open your mouth."

Instinctively responded, I was fed a mouthful of food in my mouth, it was a little cold, but it tasted very good.

Seeing Meng like this, a trace of understanding and interest flashed on Shen Xuan's face. The big hand held up Meng's jaw and pecked it again, this kind of wine is really good.

Meng Tongzhi was drunk by Commander Shen and had no dreams all night.

When I woke up in the morning, he was the only one on the couch. Thinking of Dr. Liu's advice last night, my head hurt.

Fortunately, Shen Commander is really very human, his recovery is amazing, there is no fever, the wound has not deteriorated, and when he opens the curtain, he is refreshed, which is better than Meng's spirit.

"Got a headache?"

The big hand covered his forehead, and Meng honestly admitted that it was indeed a headache.

pinched his forehead, although he was drunk, Shen Xuan didn't forget the incident of pouring him wine, thinking of what happened last night, Meng Shishilang's head hurt even more.

It seems that his understanding of the Ming Dynasty is still very insufficient, especially the true character of a certain Hou Second Generation, which needs to be discovered.
