Introduction
There is a way that all things are reincarnated and die, the cycle of the world comes and goes, the saints are also clouds, the stars are back to Yin, and the world is repeated. From this point of view, there is nothing new in the world, you don't believe it, and listen to "Wat Sword Song", you will know that what you say is true.
Speaking of Haohao Shenzhou, since the opening of Yanhuang Kaiji, there have been repeated rebellions for hegemony, and there are often disasters of four invasions. Fortunately, although the country is chaotic, the strong captives look at the tiger, but the artifact is passed down from generation to generation, Jiuding does not move the foreign race, first through Yao Shunyu, then through the Xia, Shang and Zhou, and then passed on to the Qin, Han and Jin, and finally to the Sui, Tang and Song dynasties. It's a pity that the Zhao and Song dynasties in the world, the civil and military virtues declined, and they were disturbed by Liaojin every year, and they were captured by the Tartars every year. In 1279 A.D., the battle of Yashan, the king of Song jumped into the sea, the land of the Central Plains actually belonged to the Mengyuan Dynasty, the three mountains and five mountains were trampled, tens of millions of people in the dignified China, succumbed to the Hu people and several iron horses.
Since then, the people have been in dire straits, and the first nine have died for life, sad! What a pain! Alack!
Fortunately, God's mercy descends to heroics, and after a hundred years, there is a genius.
Buyi Zhu Yuanzhang rose up, attracting heroes from all over the world to gather under the command of Xian, conquering the east and west for fifteen years, destroying the heroes in the south, chasing the Tartars in the north, Emperor Yuan fled in the wilderness, and Kyushu was all happy.
So he created a foundation and re-established the Han Kingdom, called the Ming Dynasty.
At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the country was peaceful and peaceful, and all countries came to the court. Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang in order to protect the country and the mountains forever, is to set the "Great Ming Law" hoe and guide the good, the system of the "Great Decree" to punish the evil and eliminate the evil, so that future generations to keep it, can not be changed slightly, for a time the world is peaceful, the four seas are salty.
Since ancient times, all the founding kings have worked hard to govern the country, loved the people like sons, governed the country and the law is clear, and the descendants of the country are greedy for happiness, do not think about the society, and the state is chaotic and the law is abolished.
As the so-called success and virtue decline, you can start well but not the end.
After the reign of Emperor Taizu, the descendants of the Zhu family were greedy for pleasure, which led to the decline of Tianwei, the breeding of traitors, the reversal of the government, the loss of power several times, and the traitors caused chaos in the dynasty, endangering the country several times.
When the Zhu Ming Dynasty passed to the thirteenth generation of Emperor Shenzong Emperor Zhu Yijun, it was already full of crises, with eunuch dictatorship, corrupt officials, and worries about the people's livelihood. Emperor Shenzong was a young and heroic man, implemented a new policy, and worked hard to govern the country, although there was a new atmosphere, but after all, it was difficult to save the situation, and he was discouraged for a while. Later, because he did not like the crown prince Zhu Changluo, he wanted to change the third son Zhu Changxun as the crown prince, but was opposed by the cabinet ministers. Later, they levied taxes on a large scale, and the number of errands was numerous, and natural disasters were frequent, and the crops did not grow, causing the children to cry out for hunger and cold, the parents to swallow and cry, and the people to eat each other, and Kyushu was miserable.
The old cow is sick and sick, and it will be taken care of by the jackal.
Seeing such a situation in the Ming Dynasty, Nurhachi, the leader of the Jurchens in Liaodong, led the people to rebel, established the country, and repeatedly invaded the territory. Emperor Shenzong was furious when he heard this, and ordered Yang Hao, the general of the military department, to send troops to conscript. In March of the forty-seventh year of Wanli, the 470,000 army of the Ming Dynasty and the 60,000 army of the Dajin Kingdom fought in Salhu, Liaodong, although the Ming army was numerous, but it was defeated and returned, Emperor Shenzong was depressed and became ill, he could not afford to be ill, he died in the Qianqing Palace on July 21 of the following year, and the crown prince Zhu Changluo succeeded to the throne, which was for Guangzong, and the year name was "Taichang".
Emperor Guangzong was eighty-eight out of thirty, and he was in the prime of life, and he couldn't bear Zhu Ming's abolition of baldness. On the day of the succession, he granted amnesty to the world, rectified the rule of officials, clarified the government, abolished the mining tax, issued two million silver to reward the trilateral soldiers, and re-summoned the loyal people Manchao, Ye Xianggao, Zou Yuanbiao, Feng Congwu, Wang Dewan, Meng Yanghao, Zhong Yuzheng and others into the court as officials.
After nightfall, Emperor Guangzong was still uneasy, and summoned the teacher Gong Nai to see him, worshiped the prince of the country, and instructed: "The first emperor is in Japan, the taxes are heavy, the levy is out, the people's livelihood is faltering, and the border provocation is gradually opening. Today, I ascend to the great treasure, day and night thinking of the great sage, and thirsty for genius in the morning and evening. It's a pity that there are hundreds of ministers in the DPRK and China, most of whom are drunkards and meats, and they can't do great things. ”
Gong Nai said: "The emperor has ambitions to be new, which is the luck of the world, the joy of all the people, and the old ministers are very pleased." However, there are few loyal people in the court, and there are many virtuous people among the people. The emperor can go to the people to find talents, and if he is enthroned and conferred, he will be given an official position, which will not be inferior to the people in the court. ”
Guangzong was eager to seek talent, and asked urgently: "Sir, is there a candidate?" ”
Gong Nai replied: "The criminal department Lang Zhongman has always been loyal, because he offended the traitor, was demoted to the people for seven years, I heard that he traveled all over the world, set foot in Kyushu, he must know the world's talents, the emperor can call and ask him." ”
Guangzong was overjoyed, summoned by decree, and the Manchu Dynasty recommended and said: "When there are four great talents today: the great Confucian Fang Qing, proficient in the hundred schools of thought, familiar with the four books and five classics, preaching Confucianism in Hangzhou, Wu Yueshi is well known and respected as Eastern Confucianism; The high monk Luo Kong, well-read the scriptures, the living Buddha of this world, lives in Hengshan to preach Buddhism, teaches the people to be good, the people love it, and worships it as the Southern Buddha; The real person Wang Changyue, the head of the whole family, holds the great precept of the immortals, according to the opening of the altar of Heming Mountain, the rules are to the Tao, the people's hearts are attached, and the respect is the West Road; Cao Yin, a law idiot, is familiar with the laws of the past dynasties, advocates that the law can govern the country, the law can be safe, travel to Jinji, erudite and well-informed, and is called the Northern Law. The minister thought that the emperor could send a decree to recruit the four sages into the court, and if he got help, he would be able to achieve the foundation of eternity. ”
Guangzong was overjoyed, and passed the decree overnight, quickly summoning the four people to enter the Beijing Saint quickly.
Half a month later, the four sages entered Beijing, and Guangzong was anxious to summon them from the Qianqing Palace. The four sages knelt down, the mountain shouted long live, and the Guangzong took a closer look, and saw that the four people behaved elegantly and gracefully. Talk with it, know the four people are benevolent, compassionate, kind, and righteous, and the fruit is a great sage. asked about ambition again, and said that he was willing to sacrifice himself to become a benevolent person and help the Ming Dynasty. Guangzong was overjoyed, and gave Fang Qing, Luo Kong, and Wang Changyue a gold medal for each of them, and the three of them traveled the world from now on, persuading the good to eliminate the evil, the world's hundreds of officials, all the ya, each temple and each temple, those who see the gold medal, such as seeing the holy order, provide accommodation and food, do not slacken, the sinners of the world, in addition to seeking rebellion, are willing to change the evil and convert to the gold medal from the good, and the past is not to blame. He also gave Cao Yin a piece of jade wat, called "Tongtian", he could admonish the Son of Heaven, inspect hundreds of officials, and then worship Cao Yin as the Langzhong of the Criminal Department, and allow him to hold Tongtian Wat, and the temple participated in the traitorous play, and the guards could not stop it.
The four sages received the emperor's favor, bowed to Xie Dun, and retreated together. Guangzong recommended to the Manchu Dynasty: "Aiqing recommends the virtuous and meritorious, I will give you a jade ruyi handle, and talk about it as a reward." Man Chao recommended hurriedly thanked him and took it away. Out of the palace, walked to the bustling street outside the front door, and was playing Ruyi while walking, when he suddenly heard someone sighing behind him: "For a jade Ruyi, I hurt four foolish sages, how stupid and ......"
Man Chao was shocked, and turned around to look around, but when he saw that the crowd was crowded and bustling, you were noisy and disturbing, where could I find someone to speak? When I was in doubt, I listened to the singing gradually disappearing, and the song said:
Seek fame and fortune in Vanity Fair, and step on the storm in the sea.
On the way to life and death, realize life and death, and sing in the song.
Man Chaojian hurriedly separated the crowd and chased after him, but the singer was never seen. Just as he was in doubt, he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Man Langzhong." When he looked up, it was Li Ning, the eunuch beside the emperor. Li Ning stepped forward and said: "The emperor is full of interest today, and wants to climb the coal mountain to enjoy the flowers, I expect that you have not returned to the house yet, and the slave will come to pass you to accompany you." ”
The Manchu Dynasty did not dare to slack off, and hurried to the foot of the coal mountain with Li Ning, and met the dragon chariot, Guangzong got out of the car, and walked up the mountain with the Manchu Dynasty and many eunuchs and Gong'e. Everyone talked and laughed along the way, but the Manchu Dynasty recommended that because he remembered the words of the shadowless man, his heart was sullen and his face was full of doubts.
Guangzong asked, "Why is Aiqing unhappy?" ”
The Manchu Dynasty recommended that he was honest and loyal, and when he saw that the emperor was asking, he intended to admonish, so he replied: "The minister is worried about the future of the four sages. ”
Guangzong said strangely: "Aiqing strongly recommends the four sages, I have reused them, given the sin card, Tongtian Wat, and ordered the four people to be loyal to the country, what is Qing's worry?" ”
The Manchu Dynasty recommended: "The first emperor reigned for forty-eight years, with the wisdom of the first emperor, he still can't make the universe clear, what can the four sages do?" The ministers were worried that they had failed the emperor's favor, so they were worried. ”
Guangzong said with a smile: "The first emperor is wise, but all the ministers are busy, and the weather today is very different. ”
When everyone heard this, they congratulated in unison: "The emperor is wise and will be able to pacify the four seas." Guangzong was full of interest, walked to a locust tree, turned around and recommended to the Manchu Dynasty: "The first emperor failed to complete his long-cherished wish in forty-eight years, although I am not talented, I am willing to use half of the emperor's reign to revive the Ming Dynasty within twenty-four years, so that the four seas come to the court, the eight directions come to worship, the people are healthy, and the world is salty." ”
Everyone was happy, and they said: "The emperor's ambition, the luck of the Ming Dynasty, the blessing of the people, and the joy of the world." ”
The group was beaming, and only the Manchu Dynasty recommended calm as water. Guangzong walked two steps to the locust tree, and secretly thought to himself: I was not treated well by the first emperor, and was often plotted by Zheng Guifei and the third brother Zhu Changxun, similar to the ancient king Yu Shun, Emperor Shun was poisoned by his father and brother, and escaped by luck after several deaths, and finally became a sage and king through the ages. Thinking of this, Guangzong was proud and ambitious, and improvised a poem and said:
Yao Mu Yu Shun does not dare to be idle, and bows to benevolence and righteousness to respect the sky.
The day is off in the spring and autumn twenty-four, and I am in the year of Taichang in the Ming Dynasty.
The poem has been completed, praised by everyone, recorded by historians, and spread all over the world. All of a sudden, the government and the opposition were excited, and the people were happy.
The good news of Emperor Guangzong's coal mountain poems spread to the foot of Xiongshan, the capital of Huguangchen Prefecture, which is the hometown of the Manchu Dynasty, the people heard that the emperor made great efforts to govern the country, and the Manchu Dynasty recommended the reinstatement of the official by being deeply used, everyone was happy, and there was a unique Mr. Idle at the foot of the Xiongshan Mountain surnamed Ma Mingxiao, who laughed when he heard it, and asked why, Ma smiled and said: "He wants to be a king for twenty-four years, I think it would be good to be able to do it for twenty-four days." He wants to revive the Ming Dynasty in twenty-four years, and I think that the Ming Dynasty will not die in twenty-four years, thank God. The listeners laughed at him for his madness, scolded him for being disobedient, and the horse laughed and did not refute, but laughed non-stop, carried a fishing rod, and rode a horse in the direction of the Chenshui River and sang:
The people of the world camp to worship the minister, and I play the red dust leisurely.
Chenshui River under the hook, a rod and a line of fishing fame.
After a few days, there was nothing to do, but three days later, the bad news came, Emperor Guangzong suddenly fell ill, and he fell into hatred, and he only sat on the throne for twenty-four days. Zhang Guangkui, the prefect of Chenzhou, was shocked, and suddenly remembered Ma Xiao, this person was crazy, his words came true, and he was determined to be a demon, so he took the county to hurry to arrest him, but when he arrived at the foot of Xiongshan, he saw that the person went to the empty house, and left a poem on the door, the poem said:
When the river is dry and does not flow, how many autumns can there be in the rise and fall?
The ridiculous idiot didn't have time to understand, and Taichang didn't live first.
