In the first year of the co-rule, many things happened in the Ming Dynasty, such as clearing the land, promoting the officials, prohibiting more levy and consumption, as well as relocating refugees, moving the feudal domain into Taiwan, Huainan and Sichuan two wars, but these small people know not really, for other national affairs, in addition to the gentry class is talking about it, in addition to the tireless pleasure, ordinary small people are still more concerned about their own one-third of an acre, firewood, rice, oil and salt at home.

As the New Year approaches, the place is stable, and people outside the city have come to the city to buy New Year's goods, wanting to have a good year.

In the early morning, when the day was bright, a crisp sound of beating the watch echoed in the alleys of Yuyao City, the sound sounded, and it was accompanied by the loud chanting of the watchman, "The time has come, the sunrise is shining, the morning is cool, you must prepare a jacket..."

The sound broke the tranquility of the city, and the neighborhoods came to life at once, and many vendors began to come out to peddle, and the city slowly became noisy, and the sound slowly boiled.

Not long after, the four gates of Yuyao were also opened, and the outside of the city gate was already full of people who were about to enter the city.

The guards pushed open the city gate, several carts full of pork and mutton entered first, they are all related households, the meat of 100,000 people in the city is supplied by them, the people of the Ming Dynasty pay great attention to the cleanliness of the city, and still retain some traditions of the Song Dynasty, it is inconvenient to slaughter in the city, so the slaughtering workshops are outside the city, and they are transported into the city after killing in the early morning, and they are distributed to various restaurants and butcher shops.

Concerned households did not have to wait in line, and ordinary people lined up in long lines at the beckoning of officers, ready to be inspected.

Because it is approaching the end of the year, business is easy to do, and there are many people entering and leaving the city gate, and the queue is long.

At this time, in the procession, a young man, lined up, his eyes wandered over the goods pushed by the people, his eyes were full of curiosity, and it seemed that the scene around him was very fresh.

The young man was looking around, and before he knew it, it was his turn to enter the city, and the officer on the side saw that he was white-skinned, dressed in a square scarf, and full of wealth, so he personally examined him, and he gave the young man a salute, and then asked: "Where is the son, go to the city to visit relatives or friends?" ”

In the eyes of the officers, this kind of scholar is not diligent, and he will only do these two things when he enters the city.

When the young man heard this, he politely replied, "Wang Shiyuan, a person from the north, fled to Yuyao and went to the city to buy something. ”

The officer saw that he behaved decently, listened to his accent, and spoke the official dialect of the north, there was no doubt that he was a northerner, but his northern Guan dialect was too standard, and he seemed to have a noble spirit, but he couldn't help but ask the officer more, "Gongzi is a Beijinger?" ”

Wang Shiyuan was originally very relaxed while replying, while looking up at the city, listening to the officer's question, but his face suddenly tightened, and then hurriedly shook his head and said: "Where is the late born Beijinger, the late born is a Henan person, and later moved to Fengyang, the year before last to Yuyao, and now it is Mr. Hujiazhuang Private School in the south of the city, because the insider has just given birth to a son, it is inconvenient to go out, so he entered the city to buy some New Year's goods." ”

When the officer heard him say so much, he couldn't help but narrow, but then smiled: "I don't know if Gongzi knows Hu Yuanwai from Hujiazhuang?" ”

"It's the late-born old Tarzan!"

The officer bowed his head slightly, smiled and stretched out his hand: "It turned out to be the east bed of Hu Yuanwai's house, please come into the city!" ”

Seeing this, Sergeant Wang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, walked a few steps slowly into the city gate, and then suddenly quickened his steps and left.

When the officer saw him enter the city, he beckoned a soldier, "Did the boy see it just now, you follow him to see, who you have seen, what you have done, and you will report to me afterwards." ”

The soldier was next to him, and he basically heard the conversation, and he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, "The leader suspects that he is a small work from the north?" ”

As a city gate official, he reads countless people every day, and the officer shook his head, "It's not like a fine work, but I think it's a little strange, the accent is obviously from Beijing, I don't know why I want to call Henan, you follow it, where is so much nonsense." ”

Wang Shiyuan walked into the city, the streets were already lively, the Song and Ming dynasties, have formed a new class, that is, the citizen class, they have basically separated from agricultural production, formed a preliminary commodity economy society, and the whole society is clean and civilized, but also more than the same period of open defecation in the West.

In the early morning, after people get up to rinse their mouths and wash their faces, it is time to eat breakfast, but the citizens in the city in the Ming Dynasty rarely open fire, and most of them will choose restaurants, especially breakfast, which is basically served by the street shops and street vendors, and such scenes are often mentioned in the Water Margin.

Wang Shiyuan walked to the street, looked back, and there were no officials and soldiers coming, he sighed, then collected his mood and continued to walk around the street.

Wang Shiyuan is not a Qing Dynasty detail, but he has his bitterness, his real name Zhu Cihuan is the blood of Emperor Chongzhen, before the city of Beijing was broken, Emperor Chongzhen killed all the female scrolls, but he was not willing to kill them, but called several of his brothers to him.

At this time, Chongzhen had become a father who hoped that his son could live, and taught them to call them adults when they met civil officials in the future, and to call them commanders when they met military attachés, teach them how to salute, and hand them over to be ordinary people.

Zhu Cihuan and the crown prince were sent out of the palace, but how could the pampered prince really act like ordinary people, they had no skills to make a living at all, and they were soon captured by the Shun army.

After the Qing army entered the customs, the prince fell into the hands of the Qing army, at that time Dolgon just pretended to order preferential treatment of the Ming Dynasty clan, as a result, the prince was offered, Duoer can not slap his face, but can not leave the prince, so let people say that the prince is fake, all the palace said that it is the real prince, the eunuch who held the prince and cried bitterly, all were killed, only the fake, can live, the prince's teacher in order to save his life, bowed his head and did not say a word, the most shameful is the prince's grandfather Zhou Kui, resolutely said that the prince is fake, and finally Dolgon ordered with satisfaction, It was decided that someone was pretending to be the prince, so he killed the prince.

This incident gave Zhu Cihuan a great blow, and he also realized that his identity must not be exposed.

In the turmoil of the war, he fled to Henan with a Shun army general, planted for a year, and then the Qing army cleared the thieves, the Shun general ran away, he turned to Fengyang, and was recognized by an old man of the Ming Dynasty, helping him change his name and surname, and became Wang Shiyuan.

At this time, the struggle against the Qing Dynasty in the south was in full swing, and the old man wanted to contact the Ming army in the southwest to resist the Qing Dynasty and send him over, but he didn't want to be contacted yet, and the whole family was killed because of his participation in the anti-Qing incident, and Zhu Cihuan could only flee south again and come to Yuyao.

Soon after, the Ming Dynasty recovered Nanjing, and the Qing army in Zhejiang also surrendered to the Lu Jian State.

It's just that Zhu Cihuan, who was born in the royal family, is still relatively sensitive to political struggles, and his courage is relatively small, so he has been hesitant.

At that time, the two kings of Tang and Lu were vying for the throne, and he might have a chance to come out, but he was even more afraid that after he came out, Tang Lu would poison him, and the two kings had teams and horses, although he had blood, but there was no one around him, plus he had settled down in Hujiazhuang, so he did not venture out.

Moreover, in his opinion, now the government and the opposition, no one seems to be hoping that a prince of Chongzhen will come out to disrupt the situation, even the king of Chu who turned the tide is not a good person, and he has recently moved into Taiwan, he is timid and insecure, although he is living poorly now, he has a wife and children, and he does not want to be exiled overseas recklessly, so he has been hidden.
