Chapter 35 Zhixing for the Five Carriages of the Belly
In the first year of Chongzhen, Chen Zilong, who was still very innocent at the age of twenty-one, got married, and lived happily after marriage.
However, there is a word called the "seven-year itch". Although the word is a modern word, translated from Monroe's films, Chen Zilong said it himself from his own experience: the term was also applicable in the Ming Dynasty.
Seven years after marriage and eight years after Chongzhen, the relationship between Chen Zilong and his wife changed, because Chen Zilong met the second goddess in the world - Liu Rusi. Chen Zilong is a generous and sad man, and when he met the "Liu Confucian", who can be called the first female Chinese in the world, and coincided with his failure in the imperial examination, he was resentful in his heart, and emotionally he was also in a period of restlessness with a seven-year itch, and it was natural and natural to be attracted by him.
Chen Zilong and Liu Ru lived together in Songjiang South Building, writing poems against each other, singing and harmonizing with each other, and being affectionate. However, Chen Zilong is a married man after all, and the wife of the family has been looking forward to her husband for a long time, so she finally became suspicious, inquired, learned the news, and went directly to the south building, without giving Liu Ru a good look. Liu Ru was so strong, Anken swallowed his anger and directly packed up his things and left. Chen Zilong is a long-term lover, and he is still worried about it, and he has tried to redeem it, but the fierce Liu Ru refused to eat the grass and never agreed to reunite. At the same time, the sea was once difficult to water, whether it was Chen Zilong or Liu Ruyi, so far I have not seen other people of the opposite sex who make me like.
Although Chen Zilong, who was waiting for the election of officials in the capital, was already a third-class Tongjinshi, he now has no job and is idle in Beijing. With his temperament, he will not go to the official department's fly camp to make a fat mess for himself. My heart is full of worries about my mother at home, my thoughts about Liu Ruyi, who can't ask for it, and the guilt of marrying my wife because of the marriage change.
The average prodigal son will use wine to kill his sorrows at this time, Li Bai can't do without wine even if he is not ordinary, although Fu Guan is not enough to compare with Li Bai, but if he has time, he will definitely drink it. But Chen Zilong is different, Chen Zilong is also a poetic and alcoholic character, but he is not so addicted to alcohol, and he has other things to divert his attention: sorting out the manuscripts. I am about to leave Beijing to take up a post, and I don't know when I will come back, so I will definitely go to the late teacher's house to look for it again to see if there is still a draft of the "Book of Agriculture". Otherwise, it is my fault that the manuscript that was the brainchild of the teacher was not paid because of the editor's needs when the book was written, but because of omissions. So these days, Chen Zilong basically lives in Xu Guangqi's former residence, and also uses the books left by Xu Guangqi to help him understand Xu Guangqi's manuscripts.
The eunuch who was summoned went to Chen Zilong's address to find someone to pounce, and he couldn't go back like this, so he had to ask around. Fortunately, Chen Zilong is a jinshi of Jinke after all, and everyone around him knew that Chen Zilong also had a place to stay, otherwise the officials had chosen an official position, and they couldn't find you and deposed you, who do you talk to? The little eunuch who got the news hurriedly ran to Xu's mansion.
On the other side, Wu Weiye followed the eunuch into the palace, and thought in his heart along the way that when he returned to his hometown, in addition to official business, he could also meet the high hall at home on the way. I wonder if I don't know the urgency of the matter, and whether I have time to do a good job of filial piety at home. Thinking that with His Majesty's character, he would definitely not let himself go alone, it might be a minister to follow, and if he wanted to take that minister as the main official at that time, I hope not to meet a domineering person. Thinking in my heart, I also arrived at the Wenhua Palace.
Chongzhen was not verbose: "Today's summoning Qing is to accompany me south to Suzhou tomorrow. As he spoke, he motioned to the little eunuch who was going to play and handed Chen Hongmi's recital to Wu Weiye.
Wu Weiye said in his heart, he took the fold, and was about to look through it, when he suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the emperor's words, and after thinking about it for a while, he was stunned, and asked in surprise: "Your Majesty wants to tour south?" ”
Chongzhen had already expected his reaction: "You know that this matter is very important when you have seen the twists and turns, this strange person has learned, and the study of heaven and man is of great benefit to the Ming Dynasty and the people." I wanted to visit the thatched house three times and personally invite him out of the mountain. ”
Wu Weiye saw that the scholars of the cabinet, and the six books did not object, he must have been persuaded by Chongzhen before, and he was soft-spoken, and he didn't understand the situation, so there was no need to say anything at this time, so he simply took a look at what he said in the compromise.
After Wu Weiye saw the twists and turns, his heart was also shocked, and he understood that the emperor's intention to ask for those materials this morning was not only to spread the causes of natural disasters across the country, but also to find out whether natural disasters in the future would really last so long. What he learned from Zhang Pu is the study of the present and the ancient, so the examples given by Yiren are all familiar to him, but now from a different angle, he feels more and more terrible about natural disasters. The prediction of the stranger is even more frightening. Wu Weiye knew that the Han and Tang were both powerful and unified dynasties, and the battles with the surrounding alien races were known to be invincible. Such a kingdom of the Celestial Empire has been repeatedly bullied by aliens because of natural disasters, and the Ming Dynasty has been defeated repeatedly with Jianyu, and then there are such continuous natural disasters, which is really worse.
Recalling the chronology of the late Han Dynasty and the late Tang Dynasty, Wu Weiye had a lot of doubts in his heart: it is difficult to judge an obvious timeline from the records of disasters in historical books. Where did this stranger judge the so-called "disaster lasts for a long time"?
After sorting out his thoughts, Wu Weiye replied to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the frequent disaster period mentioned in the commute is credible, not only what he listed, but the minister can roughly guess just by looking at this recital, except for what he said about Zhang Jiao at the end of the Han Dynasty, Huangchao at the end of the Tang Dynasty, Wagang at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and Fangla in the Northern Song Dynasty, it is very likely that it is also because of the disaster that it can sweep several states and shake the world." Therefore, it is a very reliable judgment for the existence of frequent disaster periods. However, the exact duration of the disaster cannot be inferred from this passage. ”
Chongzhen was very excited when he heard it, if the disaster lasted for 60 years, did it mean that it might end soon? On the other hand, Wu Weiye can deduce so much content from the recital, and when the time comes, when he talks to the stranger, he will not appear to be incompetent in the court, and he will not know what to ask. Chongzhen's own time spent on martial arts was much longer than the time spent on culture because of self-preservation, and it was also because he never thought that he would become an emperor back then, and he should have lived as an idle prince. So he has always been worried that after he met Inhuman, he didn't understand what people said, lost his national body, and left a bad impression on Inhuman. Wu Weiye can communicate with each other from history, and Chen Zilong is an old disciple of Xu Ge, so he must not be weak in astronomy, so that the two of them must be able to understand the theory of the other person, at least be able to distinguish the truth of what the other person said.
