Chapter 36 Friends don't know each other
The so-called mountain people don't know the years, they don't have mobile phones in these years, they can't brush Weibo, and they can't see hot spots. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Zhu Yousong and his entourage walked asceticly in the mountains for half a month, and they didn't know that the world outside the Ming Dynasty had undergone earth-shaking changes.
During this period, Zhu Youxiao, who was a carpenter and part-time emperor, had closed his eyes forever, and the British public Zhang Weiying's edict had sent Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, to the palace safely......
At this moment, the young man sitting in the Zhongji Hall is Zhu Youzhen, and today is the first day he ascended the throne as emperor. Thinking of the scene of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military kneeling in front of him and shouting long live, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but feel that he was standing at the top of this country and even this world!
It is no wonder that Zhu Youzhen thought so, because the economy, culture, system, weapons and equipment of the Ming Dynasty at that time were ...... At that time, the world was not lagging behind the West, and it was still very advanced in many aspects. The comprehensive national strength of the Ming Dynasty could be said to be the most powerful empire in the world at that time, and there was no one.
Zhu Youzhen sat behind the bookcase, looking into the distance through the open door of the hall, his eyes were deep. This was the first day of his ascension to the throne, and he waited for this day for three years, three years, and every day he nested in the gloomy study of King Xin's mansion, planning the future of this empire, looking forward to the future of this empire, looking forward to the future of this empire.
And now, the future of this empire is in his hands, in the hands of a seventeen-year-old boy! Naturally, his biological age is seventeen years old, but his mental age is much more than that.
Zhu Youzhen sat on the chair with his arm on the armrest, thinking about how to put the plan of the past three years into action.
He desperately wants the giant ship of the Ming Dynasty to sail to a brighter future, he desperately wants the Chinese nation to stop suffering backwardness and beaten in the future, and he desperately wants this country, this nation, everything on this land to never fall into the dust, and then walk on the road of rejuvenation with difficulty in a few hundred years...... So the first thing he thought of was to change the law, because all of the above needs to be changed.
However, changing the law requires a stable political environment, and historical changes are often mixed with mountains of corpses and rivers of blood...... There was too much resistance and strength to confront the emperor. Can the emperor really do whatever he wants?
Zhu Youzhen now feels that his strength is too weak, and he has too few political ideas and allies, but these things cannot be accumulated overnight......
Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen closed his eyes and sighed: "Chengen, take the lamp!" ”
A white-faced and beardless eunuch in his thirties bowed down to receive the order, he knew that the king believed, oh no, he knew that the emperor had a habit of smoking, but the emperor smoked cigarettes were not folk tobacco pots, but cigarette rolls made by cutting tobacco leaves into thin strips and then rolling them with white paper as thin as cicada wings.
Most of these cigarette rolls were still rolled by him, and Wang Chengen found that this kind of cigarette rolls rolled up with paper was much more convenient than the tobacco shredded with a pipe. If you use a smoking pot, it is a technical job to fill the tobacco, and the tightness must be appropriate, otherwise it will not be able to smoke or smoke the tobacco and extinguish.
Since Zhu Youzhen told him this method, he has been a lot easier, and he will roll one or two for the emperor when he has time, and save a small box full of them......
Wang Chengen lit the candle on Zhu Youzhen's case, picked out a cigarette from the wooden box resting on the corner of the table, and handed it to Zhu Youzhen.
Zhu Youzhen lit the cigarette in front of the candle and took a deep breath, and the nicotine gave Zhu Youzhen a hint of pleasure and peace. Zhu Youzhen held a cigarette in his hand, and fell into this feeling of slightly drowsy mind......
Zhu Youzhen leaned back in his chair, his mind spinning sharply. There is a problem with the Ming Dynasty, and it is inevitable to change the law. But the biggest obstacle in front of him now is not these, but the eunuch who leaned towards the government and the opposition and left his name in the annals of history - Wei Zhongxian.
Zhu Youzhen exhaled a puff of smoke, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. In the past three years, he has already figured out how to deal with this eunuch leader who has a little pen and ink in his belly and no groove in his chest! It's just a little fly, nothing to fear!
This feeling of having everything under control made Zhu Youzhen feel a kind of pride in his heart, and suddenly stood up, picked up the scalper on the royal table and dipped it in ink, and Wang Chengen, who was serving on the side, had already spread out the rice paper.
Zhu Youzhen held a cigarette with his teeth, his eyes were half-narrowed by smoke, and he used a pen on his wrist to walk the dragon and snake, and after a while, four big characters appeared on the rice paper: "Da Ming Chongzhen!" ”
Zhu Youzhen looked at these four big characters and remembered the four era names in the book of the Ministry of Rites, "Qiansheng", "Xingfu", "Xianjia" and "Chongzhen", and he chose the last one.
The reason why Zhu Youzhen in history chose the era name Chongzhen was because he felt that he was not worthy of the first two era names and did not like the third era name.
Because the first era name is "Qiansheng", "Qian" is heaven, and "Sheng" is sacred, Zhu Youzhen, who is in the history of this era name, thinks that he can't afford it. The second year name is "Xingfu", the name represents "Zhongxing Blessing", which means that the country needs a "master of Zhongxing", Zhu Youzhen still feels that he is not qualified. The third name is "Xianjia", and the right side of the word "Xian" is a "Ge", when the country was full of wolves, he wanted to calm down the soldiers, and the name of "Xianjia" was not to make the country never have peace, so he hated it extremely and vetoed it.
The last one is "Chongzhen", "Chong" has the meaning of tall, "frame" is auspicious, the name can also take the homonym "revitalization", representing "a tall national leader to revitalize the Ming Dynasty, but also the world is an auspicious world." So Zhu Youzhen chose this era name.
These are all things that Zhu Youzhen saw in the book in his previous life, and the memory is too long, and he has forgotten the source.
But he is now Zhu Youzhen, but he is not the Chongzhen in history, Zhu Youzhen thinks that he has thousands of furrows in his chest, even if he is a sage, what can he do? But he still chose the era name "Chongzhen", which has nothing to do with whether he is worthy or not, it is only related to Zhu Youzhen's perseverance in his heart.
Zhu Youzhen stared at the four big characters on the paper tightly, and said to himself in a voice that he could only hear: "Chongzhen, I chose this era name to commemorate you in my previous life, and also to warn me now." This land needs the Son of Heaven to guard the country, the king of the dead society Chongzhen, the king of a country needs such ethics and integrity, and there is no need for the selfishness and greed of preferring friends to domestic slaves! Without Chongzhen's Daming, it is not a complete Daming ...... after all."
Zhu Youzhen seemed to be talking to himself, and he was indeed talking to himself. It's just that the two sides of the dialogue are Zhu Youzhen, who lives in the present, and Zhu Youzhen, who is in the history books of his previous life, they are one person, but they are not alone.
At this time, a small yellow door hurriedly came in and said: "Your Majesty, Jinyiwei urgently sent a secret letter!" ”
"Bring it on!"
"Yes!" The little yellow door handed over the secret letter of Jinyiwei to Wang Chengen, and Wang Chengen checked the fire paint seal of the secret letter before putting it on Zhu Youzhen's case.
Zhu Youzhen twisted and extinguished the cigarette he had smoked until the last puff in the pen wash, checked the fire paint seal again, and only opened the secret letter after seeing that it was intact. Prosecutor General Zhu You exhaled, this was the first secret letter he received from Jinyiwei since he ascended the throne.
In his previous life, whether it was history books or film and television programs, Jinyiwei was said to be amazing, which also made Zhu Youzhen full of curiosity, and he really wanted to see what happened to the first urgent secret letter he received from Jinyiwei.
Zhu Youzhen opened the letter, looked at it for a moment, suddenly stunned in his chest, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed in his heart: "A butterfly in the tropical rainforest by the Amazon River in South America, occasionally flapping its wings, may cause a tornado in Texas, USA." Could it be that my crossing triggered the butterfly effect? This is not the original history! When the original Prince of Fu ascended the throne in Chongzhen, he was still eating and waiting for death in King Fu's Mansion, and he lived freely! He later became the first emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, why was he arrested by Jinyiwei now, what happened? ”
Zhu Youzhen was shocked into a cold sweat by this event that had never happened in history, and this incident was not trivial. If history hadn't gone according to the original script, what prescience would have been given to his three-year preparations? Even if Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are killed in advance, will there be a Wang Zicheng or a Zhao Xianzhong in the Ming Dynasty?
Prosecutor Zhu You breathed two breaths, thinking of his more than 1,000 days and nights in the past three years, forgetting to sleep and eating, his perseverance, and the most determined dream in his heart, he couldn't help but say sonorously: "No matter who dares to stand in the way of my Ming recovery, I will let them die a good death!" ”
