After Zhu Yuanzhang took Ningguo, faced with the iron-like fact that he was as solid as an iron bucket without gaps but was still taken by Monk Zhu, Jingde, Nanling, Jingxian, Chizhou, Lindi and other small cities that were far inferior to Ningguo fell into Zhu Yuanzhang's hands one after another.

And after Zhu Yuanzhang took Chizhou, Zhu Yuanzhang, who lacked literature and martial arts and knew the importance of literati, learned that there was a figure in Chizhou who was deeply recommended and loved by everyone.

This person's ancestral home was originally Xiuning, Anhui Province, because he was full of poetry and books when he was young, and he was full of literary brilliance, and he passed the township examination to get Jinshi knowledge after he became an adult.

But after obtaining the Jinshi, which can be said to be a graduate degree, he took the initiative to quit as a fresh candidate.

directly rejected the admission test at a higher level, and chose to retreat to the mountains and forests.

Only four years after his retreat career, as an absolute talent, he was not willing to let himself be degraded, and the township celebrities jointly wrote a letter to jointly recommend his qualifications to the Yuan Dynasty government.

In order to recruit talents for their own use, and not to let them be willing to fall into the gangsters, the Yuan Dynasty government was very pleased to comply with the will of the people, and gave this hermit in the mouth of the people a heavy responsibility.

He was appointed as Chizhou Xuezheng (equivalent to our current position as the director of the Education Bureau), in charge of education-related work.

In the face of this fat difference, which can be said to be absolutely a high-ranking person at that time, and can fill his pocket, as a retired master in the mountains and forests but has long been accustomed to idle clouds, wild cranes, small bridges and flowing water, he was extremely reluctant to delay for four years from the moment he got the letter of appointment, and it seemed that he could no longer find any excuse and reason to ask for leave, so he was forced to take office at the age of fifty-two, and served as a high-ranking official who could grab oil from the soles of his feet in the eyes of everyone.

And in the eyes of everyone, this great immortal, who can be said to be extremely difficult to invite, has finally entered the house, and when he should not have any more branches under the absolutely busy and intense work tasks he has dealt with every day, he will spend the rest of his life in this position that is high enough for him.

But what no one would have thought was that after this absolutely difficult old man to serve had worked hard in the position of academic politics for three years, perhaps in his opinion, he had given enough face to the Yuan Dynasty, enough face to those who warmly invited him to be an official, and even more so after paying his own obligations for the people of the Yuan Dynasty, he was already unconcerned and had already been mentally prepared, and took the lead in giving up his official position and taking the initiative to let Xian.

Perhaps he was afraid that he would be followed by everyone again, but before he could wait for the official document of resignation to be approved, he took the lead in leaving the school administration hall and fled south alone.

Escaping from officialdom and away from this open and secret fight between right and wrong, he once again retreated to the mountains and forests, fully integrated his body and soul into the embrace of nature, and restarted his life that had been delayed for three years and made him forget to return to seclusion.

And when the life of retreat was slowly passed, in order to relieve the boredom, but also to promote his own unique way of life and the philosophical concept of being quiet as water, he opened his own study college while living a simple life, and began his absolutely classic lecture career.

In 1358, the world was completely in turmoil, but he ushered in an extraordinary figure who lived in the deep mountains, let the outside world thunder and thunder people turned over but had nothing to do with himself.

When this tall man, but with a cynical face and a pig's waist face sunken in front and back, appeared in front of him in person, and invited him to go out of the mountain to assist, he just simply said a few nine-character proverbs that are definitely not to deal with, and can be said to be a mantra.

Personally, I summarize life as an ascetic, and everyone's whole life is an ascetic in this ascetic.

In this practice, there are people who like to live the kind of life that they are willing to spend their lives in, and I can't call them this kind of life degradation, because for these people it is more pleasure to like it. The most typical character here is Hu Weiyong.

In this practice, there is another kind of people, who do not care about money and glory, but pay attention to the absolute power in their hands, and under the rule of power, their empty and rippling hearts can be calmed and comforted, and when the power reaches its peak, they will feel full and content. But when power reaches its peak, they often lose more, and there must be family affection, such as the power struggle and political competition that come with it. This kind of seizure of power is also a kind of practice, and Zhu Yuanzhang in this practice is an absolute ascetic-like figure.

In addition, there is another kind of people, this kind of people they don't care about any fame and fortune, they are more disgusted with power and politics, in their eyes, people live a lifetime, grass and trees, since God has given them the right to enjoy life, they have to try their best to experience the joy of life like water and all things like songs, since everyone is an ascetic in the river of human growth, then why not let yourself live a chic and easy life. In the midst of political wrestling and military strangulation, human life is too fragile to be able to experience the true meaning of life there.

Only when you step into this nature and merge with it can you feel the flow of blood and the endless life. Although this kind of life is less tempted by money and power, and lacks a lot of material satisfaction and enjoyment, it has a lot more joy in life. What's more, money and power are outside the body, life does not bring death, and everything will return to dust in the end.

Rather than this, it is better to return to the mountains and forests and live a free life like idle clouds and wild cranes.

Personally, I think that this person is willing to make his life simple, but it is precisely because of his absolutely simple life that he can create his absolutely extraordinary life understanding.

It is also because of his unique ideological comprehension and wisdom of life that he has long seen through the red dust and is willing to clear the stream and live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and he has become the most important and fatal political flaw of the revolutionary division.

This person's name does not appear many times in the historical books of the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, and it can even be said that it is very few.

But without his advice, it is absolutely unknown whether Zhu Yuanzhang can win the Ming Dynasty.

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if Zhu Yuanzhang did not take down the entire Ming Dynasty with this person's advice, his personal loss would definitely be quite huge.

It can be said that this man's short words convey the fatal point that all the revolutionary ranks at that time did not have.

It was also after listening to these nine words that Zhu Yuanzhang quickly took it as the foundation of his country.

Abide by it and strictly enforce it.

In the end, a great cause was accomplished and the Ming Dynasty was established.

Okay, after the nonsense, let's get to know this great man together.

His name is: Zhu Sheng.

His important achievements are only a simple nine words, but these nine words are extraordinary, and each word can be described as invaluable.

These nine-character proverbs are: build high walls, accumulate grain, and slow down king.

These nine words are literally simple to interpret, but absolutely difficult to execute.

Especially the last three words, in front of a politician with huge ambitions, let them reach the peak, but not get it, this psychological barrier is definitely quite difficult to overcome.

Personally, I think it is precisely because Zhu Yuanzhang has such an extremely strong psychological quality and unique psychological quality that distinguishes him from other heroes, which is why Zhu Yuanzhang can survive in the competition for hegemony and dominate in the end.

A character who can endure loneliness and suppress his desires is the most terrifying existence.

Compared to several other outstanding historical figures, their performance is much less impressive.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, if it were not for the needs of the current situation, it would not be appropriate to make more strong enemies, he would definitely not be silent under Han Lin'er's command and listen to his dispatch, and at the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang could also use his power to contain the offensive of the Yuan Dynasty in the south.

Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang are one king and the other, and in the face of the attraction of this kind of political name, they are far less than Zhu Yuanzhang's perseverance and patience.

As the absolutely orthodox Dayuan Dynasty at that time, as an ace army with absolute power, their performance can only be described by a tendon, in the performance like a mallet, they are more like firefighters, where to call the king and who is the emperor under the slogan, quickly gather troops to suppress at a high level.

However, for those rioters who only cared about developing their own power, but said that Wang Er did not become emperor and did not care about the title and title, they simply ignored it and let it develop without indifference.

Zhu Sheng saw this point and proposed it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

And Zhu Yuanzhang fully absorbed Zhu Sheng's suggestions, from this point of view, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born in a reckless background, does have his unique personal ability.

After Zhu Yuanzhang got what he wanted and satisfied his desires, he felt that Zhu Sheng was a talent and could definitely be used for himself, Zhu Yuanzhang warmly invited Zhu Sheng to surrender to his command and be his own adviser.

But Zhu Sheng's approach made Zhu Yuanzhang truly realize his unique personal ideological consciousness as an idle hermit and a master of the world.

He politely declined Zhu Yuanzhang's invitation.

But at the same time of refusal, Zhu Sheng, who was full of heart-to-heart affection for a generation of civil servants, recommended a figure who was much stronger and more admired than himself in his heart, under the hospitality of Zhu Yuanzhang.

After recommending this person to Zhu Yuanzhang, after touting enough to blow this person out of flowers to show Duo'er, he was afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would once again pull himself into the dark officialdom that was extremely boring to him and deceitful Zhu Sheng, so he chose to escape again.

And as the main general, he has already got what he wants, and it can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang, who is satisfied and has gained a lot, when he was continuously invited but faced with a wild donkey who was even more rigid than himself and more rigid than himself, Zhu Sheng's approach made him truly realize that there are people outside the people and donkeys outside the donkey, and it is also in this extremely embarrassing situation that Zhu Yuanzhang, who feels that there is no need to be strong, chose to give up.

It is better to offend the military generals than to offend the civil ministers.

Today's kind invitation has already given him enough face, and I believe that he will not obey the two masters.

What's more, he already knows where his nest is, and if he doesn't understand what he needs in the future, he will directly send someone to copy his nest, and if he still wants to slip away, then he will send a few people to keep an eye on him at any time, and he will rest and escape from the master's Wuzhi Mountain wherever he goes.

In this case, Zhu Yuanzhang chose to be good and scattered.

After taking his subordinates and horses to pick up a few bowls of rice and eat a full meal, he has benefited a lot, and after being satisfied with this trip, he said goodbye to Zhu Sheng and returned to his camp to start his crusade career.
