Chapter 104: King Ning
Tang Bohu looked at Le Wen, then lowered his head and thought for a long time before he spoke: "Xiaomin doesn't want to be sent, but there was a flood in Suzhou last year, and Xiaomin's career in selling paintings is naturally difficult, and sometimes he can't even find firewood and rice......
"This is a hundred taels of silver tickets, I don't dare to ensure that Tang Jieyuan is rich and expensive, but it is enough for Tang Jieyuan to have no worries about food and clothing for a few years. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Le Wen had long known that Tang Bohu was working for King Ning because of this, so he took out a silver ticket from his arms without hesitation and handed it to Tang Xie Yuan and said.
"Uh...... This can't be helped, the small people and the adults are just meeting in Pingshui, one side of the relationship, and there is no friendship, how can you casually receive gifts from adults. Tang Bohu was a little confused by Lewen's move, could it be that Lewen wanted to buy him......
"Tang Jieyuan don't want to misunderstand, I have been looking up to Tang Jieyuan's calligraphy and painting for a long time, I don't know if I can buy a piece of Tang Jieyuan's calligraphy and painting in the next hundred taels?" Le Wen smiled faintly, and did not pay attention to Tang Bohu's prevarication, but offered to buy his calligraphy and paintings, so that he would not be able to refrain from anything.
"Calligraphy and painting? Where is Xiaomin's calligraphy and painting worth a hundred taels! ”
Tang Bohu's calligraphy and paintings, the most expensive is only a few taels of silver, and the ordinary ones don't even have one or two taels of silver, and Lewen's one hundred taels is too high.
If Tang Bohu's calligraphy and painting are put in modern times, even if it is the most ordinary painting, I am afraid that there are no hundreds of thousands of RMB, you don't even want to touch it, even the small fan "Xiqiao Dusk Return" was auctioned at a high price of 583,000 yuan, and the autumn auction of Beijing Hanhai, Tang Yin's "Looking at Meitu" fan, was estimated at 250,000 to 300,000 yuan, and the transaction price was 407,000 yuan.
"I think Tang Jieyuan's calligraphy and painting are worth one hundred taels, so they are worth one hundred taels, but can Tang Jieyuan be willing to paint a few portraits of the three of them?" Lewen wanted Tang Bohu to paint a few portraits of the three of them like a photo.
Tang Bohu didn't expect Lewen to appreciate his calligraphy and painting so much, but it made him feel like he had met a confidant.
"The adults appreciate Xiaomin's calligraphy and painting so much, which makes Xiaomin flattered, but now it's getting late, why don't the three adults rest overnight in the cold house, how about Xiaomin painting portraits for the three adults tomorrow?"
"What Tang Jieyuan said is very true, so the next few people will be bothered." Lewen said with a smile.
Under Tang Bohu's arrangement, the three of Lewen lived in three thatched huts.
Lewen put the black gold sword on the wooden table, lay on the wooden bed, opened his eyes and looked at the roof, and thought leisurely: "It seems that Tang Bohu's attention has been changed by him, so history has also changed for him, but I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing." ”
In fact, whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, since Lewen has come to this dynasty, if nothing can be changed, then it will be too boring.
If it is possible, he still wants Tang Bohu to not be so depressed in the second half of his life, at least not at the age of fifty-four, Tang Bohu will pass away, and if he can get Tang Bohu's help in his career in the future, it must also be a big help.
Don't think that Tang Bohu seems to be only highly accomplished in calligraphy and painting, as if he is very average in other aspects.
If you think so, then you are wrong, Tang Bohu's intelligence is definitely among the top three contemporary scholars, otherwise Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao, why would he try his best to win him over such a down-and-out scholar.
You must know that although the rebellion of Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, failed in only 43 days, however, Zhu Chenhao's accumulation in Jiangxi was mean and the direct destruction of his rebellion.
The people of Jiangxi suffered deeply, just as Wang Shouren stated to Zhang Yong, the military eunuch of the Admiral, in Hangzhou about the difficulties after the military rebellion in Jiangxi: "The people of Jiangxi have been poisoned for a long time, and now they are in great turmoil, followed by drought, and they are paid by the military in Beijing. ”
And Ming Wuzong's southward parade further deepened this disaster.
When Zhu Chenhao raised his troops, Ming Wuzong carried out an unprecedented southward parade on the grounds that he personally led the troops to conscript.
Along the way, fishing and hunting.
Whenever he went to a place, hundreds of civil and military officials had to dress up and escort the car on foot, and Jiang Bin, a fortunate minister who accompanied him, also sent orders from time to time to extort money, and if he was not satisfied, he humiliated and beat the local officials.
He also sent soldiers out to the people's homes to spread the orders, extort eagle dogs, treasures, antiques, and even break into people's houses in the middle of the night to rob women, causing the people in the Jiangnan area to be uneasy and miserable.
Wang Shouren and others captured Zhu Chenhao; was also jealous of the fortunate ministers, and on the one hand, they went to Daxing, Jiangxi Province to frame and slaughter innocent people on the grounds of searching for the remnants of Chenhao, and even Wu Wending, the prefect of Ji'an who had contributed to the counterinsurgency, was arrested and tied up.
On the one hand, he created rumors and slandered Wang Shouren for "conspiring with Chenhao, and if he didn't succeed, he would raise troops".
When Wang Shouren set out from Nanchang and prepared to sacrifice Zhu Chenhao to Ming Wuzong, they repeatedly sent people to stop him, asking Wang Shouren to release Zhu Chenhao in the Poyang Lake area and "wait for him to be captured".
The actions of Wu Zong and his entourage caused everyone in Jiangxi to be in danger and the society to be extremely chaotic.
In order to extend the credit of counterinsurgency to Ming Wuzong and his ministers, Wang Shouren had no choice but to take the captured Zhu Chenhao to Nanjing and present it to Ming Wuzong, called "Offering Prisoners", the scene was very funny: Wuzong and all the attendants were dressed in military uniforms. Set up the battle formation, remove Zhu Chenhao from the shackles, release him in the encirclement of the army, and then capture him with drums and gold, put on his shackles again, and line up in front of the team to return in a triumphant shape.
To Qingjiangpu, while fishing in the pond, Ming Wuzong accidentally capsized and fell into the water, although the driver quickly rescued him, but he was still greatly damaged, since then he fell ill, and finally died in March of the following year, ending the decadent rule of a generation of emperors.
From the death of Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty to the accession of Zhu Houxi of the Ming Dynasty, there were 37 days during which Yang Tinghe, the first assistant of the cabinet, was in charge of the government.
Faced with the grim situation of the initial rebellion and the peasant uprisings in various places, Yang Tinghe carried out some reforms by issuing the edict of Ming Wuzong, the edict of the empress dowager, and the edict of Ming Shizong's enthronement.
For example, the suspension of the Beijing division is not in a hurry for public works, the number of workers in the Jinyi Guard and the Flag School of the Internal Supervision Bureau is reduced, the grain is reduced, and those who are fortunate enough to be appointed by grace are expelled. After Ming Shizong ascended the throne, he continued to carry out a series of good governance on the basis of Yang Tinghe's reforms.
Politically, there were: arresting eunuchs who had done a lot of evil during the reign of Wu Zong; Revolution was promoted; Abandon the "town guards and officials"; Open the way of speech, and order the ministers to benefit the people.
The economic aspects include: the abolition of additional levies to reduce the burden on the people; For the disaster-stricken areas, measures such as repairing righteous warehouses, placing righteous fields, and making loans on behalf of others have been adopted; Cleaning up the fields, etc.
These good policies played a certain role in eliminating the evils of the Ming Wuzong period, alleviating various social contradictions, and completely ending the contradictions between the kings of Ning and the emperors in successive dynasties.
And Zhu Chenhao values Tang Bohu so much, which shows the importance of Tang Bohu in the eyes of Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning.
