I opened a new book, but I still like to write history, and if I don't write it, I'm uncomfortable......

The new book "Fu Han" is about the five Hu and sixteen state affairs, the opening chapter of the battle of Weishui, focusing on the killing of the army, please see how the protagonist turns the tide and revives the Han Dynasty. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

P.S.: I won't do POV this time, focus on the main line.

When it's time for dinner, if it is in an ordinary family, Wang Chengen should be sitting at the dinner table at home at this moment, eating a hearty or simple meal, surrounded by his wife and children, enjoying the joy of family. But at the moment he can't.

He is the servant of the Ming Emperor, a eunuch without roots, one cannot have a complete and normal family, and cannot choose the time according to his own preferences, he must serve the Ming Emperor.

Family reunions and coarse tea and light meals do not seem to be an unattainable luxury, but for Wang Chengen, they are hard to ask for.

Perhaps the things in this world are originally to give up one to get two, and as for which one is worth it between this and two, there is nowhere to say.

For the sake of power and scenery, in order to control the power of the world, how many people are willing to take the initiative to go to the palace and give up their dignity as a man, but Wang Chengen is unwilling, he entered the palace just to have a full meal, and now his dream has not changed. Although he eats delicious food today, wears silk and satin, lives in a high-rise building, and sits in a four-wheeled carriage, he is still the ignorant young man he was at the beginning.

It's just that things in this world are never transferred by personal will, and since he has become a eunuch, he can only go down this road, loyal to the Ming Emperor and loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Chongzhen is fasting today, but he doesn't like to eat vegetarian food, which is a little embarrassing, after all, what is fasting called fasting if he doesn't eat vegetarian food. But the culinary masters of Shang Shan Jian had a way, they removed the raw goose from the back hole, took out the internal organs from the back hole, put all kinds of assorted vegetables into the goose's belly, boiled them in boiling water, washed them with rice wine, and then took out the vegetables, cooked them with refined sesame oil, and made them into "vegetarian dishes" to the emperor.

Wang Chengen is not particularly convinced of the Buddha, although he often goes to the Buddhist temple to worship the Buddha, and often donates money to the temple, but he is a typical Ming people, see the temple to worship, who worships whom, a few days ago also went to visit the church of the cross religion, in front of the god on the cross, and donated a hundred taels of silver.

As long as he can protect him from disasters, he doesn't care whether he worships the Sanqing Ancestor or Sakyamuni in front of him, if it is the sutra recited by the foreign monk, he doesn't mind drinking some wine.

But he still felt that the emperor was a little ridiculous - if he didn't want to fast, then he shouldn't fast, why do such a secretive thing? The purpose of fasting as a vegetarian is not to kill, reflecting the Buddha's compassion for the mind, but to make such a plate of vegetables, you have to kill a goose, is this compassion? What's more, some temples have masters who are good at vegetarian food, who can make tofu meaty, and eating a vegetarian chicken is no different from eating real chicken. It seems that you don't eat meat, but if you eat tofu as meat, aren't you still eating meat?

There is also Emperor Jiajing, when he fasts, in addition to prohibiting slaughter, even if he gives banquets to ministers, he must use vegetarian food, reflecting the emperor's kindness and compassion. But is there any difference between the food he eats when he is fasting and the fact that he must eat "meat and serum" and slaughter?

This is actually self-deception, just like all the officials of the Ming Dynasty, they are all doing self-deceptive things, but others don't say it, I don't say it, tacitly, it's all in my words.

But Wang Chengen can condemn the confused and stupid officials of the Ming Dynasty, but he can't say that the emperor is not, after all, he is the emperor's servant, and his life and glory and wealth come from the emperor, so he can only look at the emperor with loving and caring eyes, and secretly vow to use his life to protect the people in front of him.

"They are a group of useless things, they only know how to corrupt the emperor's family property, but fortunately, there is still me, even if I fight for this life, I have to let the emperor govern this Ming well." Wang Chengen thought silently and stood even straighter.

The emperor finished this vegetarian meal and slowly stood up, he had the habit of taking a walk after eating.

"Wang Companion, although I will go!" The emperor would also say "I" in private. Different from the image of the Ninety-Five Emperor who is high above the Jinluan Palace, Emperor Chongzhen in private is still more like a teenager, there are joys, joys, sorrows, and fears, but the emotions of these emperors cannot be shown to the ministers, because what these ministers need is just an emperor who is diligent and loves the people, and does not care about anything except for approving and handling government affairs.

In their eyes, a good emperor should have more sons, watch more twists and turns, fight more eunuchs, and promote more "righteous men and gentlemen", as for other things, it is best not to care about them all!

So, the other side of the emperor is not visible to the ministers.

But Wang Chengen can, he is the emperor's servant, one of the emperor's most intimate people, just like Empress Zhou, has the privilege of close contact with the emperor. Although he couldn't touch the emperor's body like an empress, this little spatial distance did not prevent him from observing the emperor's joys, sorrows, and sorrows.

The emperor walked slowly on the road of white marble, and it was dark early in winter, and it was already dark at this time. The emperor is wearing a Yan Ben suit today, black yarn as a hat, divided into twelve petals, gold thread pressed, decorated with colorful clouds, dark clothes, cyan as the edge, front disc round dragon, back row square dragon, dragon pattern ninety-nine, front and back seventy-seven, although there is no dragon robe of the majestic and solemn, but also reveals a noble atmosphere, especially Chongzhen is still a teenager, but it highlights a vigorous enterprising atmosphere.

This Yan Ben costume has been worn several times, and almost every generation of emperors has to change the appearance of Yan Ben according to their own aesthetics, so as to make themselves more comfortable to wear. And as soon as Chongzhen ascended the throne, he had to fight with a traitor like Wei Zhongxian, so naturally he didn't have time to make his own Yan Ben suit.

The emperor didn't speak, and Wang Chengen naturally didn't dare to speak, but just took the little eunuch and walked slowly with the emperor. Walking to a pavilion, the emperor didn't walk in, but just walked around the pavilion a few times, and saw that one of the steps was already a little damaged, and couldn't help frowning: "Here, what's wrong?" ”

Wang Chengen walked over, fixed his eyes and looked, sure enough, the corner of the steps was defective, I don't know which dog stepped on it, for fear that the emperor would be angry, he quickly knelt down: "Emperor, the small one will call someone to repair, and then call the person who manages this pavilion to buy lottery, punish him fiercely, and beat him with a hundred sticks!" ”

This is actually a strategy, he said that he would beat a hundred sticks, and in order to maintain his benevolent image, the emperor naturally would not shout and kill again, and in the end, most of the time he would raise it high and put it down gently.

The eunuch who manages the construction and maintenance of the palace is not Wang Chengen's person, but he is also a eunuch, and he has to be forgiving and forgiving, Wang Chengen doesn't want to kill a person for no reason, so he spoke out to defend it. (To be continued.) )
