The clouds are rolling and the clouds are clear, and the leaves are green and yellow. Guocheng originally thought that he came to this era just as a spectator, but he was involved in the whirlpool of power for no reason; originally thought that he would not be sad about the established history, but after hearing the news of the fiasco of the Ming army of Sarhu, he hid in the bed and cried for a day, which made Wei's mother, Ke Qingqing and Zhu Youzhen anxious, and also alarmed the Wanli Emperor in the deep palace and sent Lu Shou to see him.

The Battle of Salhu was a key battle for the Ming army in Liaodong from strategic initiative to strategic passivity, and after this battle, Liaodong no longer had an army that could fight with Jiannu wild boar skin. Guocheng cried for the soldiers who sacrificed in the field, and even more for the Han people in Liaodong who were about to suffer from the poisonous hands of Jiannu.

In the early summer of the forty-eighth year of Wanli (162o), Guocheng and Zhu Youjian stood by the lotus pond to enjoy the flowers, dancing in the white lotus pond, and sending the fragrance of flowers in the wind, which was very pleasant.

Lu Shou ran in in a panic and said to Guocheng and Zhu Youzhen: "Quick, quick, long live summons." ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "I know, why are you so flustered? ”

Lu Shou looked left and right, looked around, and whispered, "The emperor is very sick. ”

Guocheng calculated in his heart that the forty-eighth year of Wanli was the last year of Wanli of Mingshenzong, and this year was particularly short, it seemed that it was only half a year, because the reign of Zhu Changluo of Mingguangzong was only one month, so he left half a year for him and changed the yuan to the first year of Taichang. Therefore, the year 162o is not only the forty-eighth year of Wanli, but also the first year of Taichang. In this way, Wanli is about to die, thinking of having a good conversation with this old man in the past few years, and saying goodbye to this old man all of a sudden, I feel a little lost.

"Kokuda, Kokuda."

When he was losing his mind, the eunuch's unique shrill voice woke him up, and he hurriedly answered, "What's the matter? ”

"The emperor specially ordered His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun to enter the palace with the people of the country."

Entering the palace of Emperor Wanli, Guocheng smelled a strong smell of medicine, and his mood became heavy.

Wanli summoned Zhu Youzhen first, and after a while, Zhu Youzhen came out with tears in his eyes, and said to Guocheng with a sob: "Grandpa Huang wants to see you." ”

Guocheng walked into the emperor's bedroom, Wanli was lying on the bed, in good spirits, full of red light, Guocheng "sighed" in his heart, this is a return to the light, it seems that Wanli's life has entered the countdown.

Wanli saw Guocheng's face heavy, and laughed to himself: "Guocheng, why bother to be a daughter." I was ordered by heaven, and now that my merits are complete, I want to go back to heaven to state my merits and demerits, this is the will of heaven, why be sad. ”

Guocheng said: "The saint is from a high position, but it makes Weichen a little ashamed. ”

"Guocheng, the more I get to this moment, the more worried I become, you say, is Teacher Zhang still willing to meet me, a student?"

"I think Mr. Zhang must be willing, the so-called monarch is a minister, Mr. Zhang is the emperor's courtier, how can there be no reason not to see the emperor?"

"But I'm sorry Mr. Zhang, he ransacked his home before his bones were cold, and starved his family to death......"

"Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, and the emperor has also given him the honor of being a high-ranking official during his lifetime and mourning after his death, this friendship Mr. Zhang will definitely not forget. I remember that in the past, Tang Taizong also smashed Wei Zheng's tombstone with his own hands, but until now they are still called the kings and ministers of the ages. Besides, the emperor also plans to let the crown prince reinstate Mr. Zhang's official title, isn't this an act of apology to Mr. Zhang? ”

"Guocheng, when you say this, I am a lot more relieved. My children and grandchildren have their own arrangements, and in the future of the Ming Dynasty, there is a grandson, and I am not worried, but this one thing makes me worry, and I am afraid that Mr. Zhang will accuse me underground. ”

Guocheng couldn't help but sigh secretly, this Zhang Juzheng was too strict with Wanli, and it became Wanli's nightmare, no wonder he would be counterattacked by Wanli after death.

Emperor Wanli asked, "You say, after I die, what will everyone say about me?" Could it be said that I am the laziest emperor in the history of the Ming Dynasty? ”

Guocheng hesitated for a long time, not knowing whether to tell Emperor Wanli the truth, and the evaluation of Emperor Wanli in history was basically negative.

Wanli looked at Guocheng's embarrassed appearance and said, "I'm about to return to heaven, can't I hear a word of truth?" Say, I forgive you for your innocence. ”

Guocheng gritted his teeth and said: "Then Weichen will tell the truth, people generally divide the Wanli Dynasty into two stages to evaluate, one is from the first year of Wanli to the tenth year of Wanli, this period of time is called Wanli Zhongxing, and the second stage is from the eleventh year of Wanli to the forty-eighth year of Wanli, this stage is called Wanli sluggishness." ”

Wanli muttered: "Wanli ten years, the year Teacher Zhang died. ”

Guocheng continued: "In the first year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng borrowed the name of the restoration of the Taizu law, the reality of administrative economic reform. Rectify the rule of officials, strengthen border defense, clear the country's fields, and implement a whip law, which promotes the development of the Ming economy, and the national situation is flourishing day by day. If I remember correctly, in the tenth year of Wanli, Taicang's grain accumulation could be used for 1o years, and the treasury had more than 4oo yuan. Although these are Mr. Zhang's achievements, they are inseparable from the support of the emperor and the queen mother. ”

Wanli smiled and nodded, looking very proud.

Guocheng changed his words and said: "It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, after Zhang Juzheng's death, the reform was abolished, and the imperial court went into decline day by day. You like to accumulate money, advocate officials to pay homage to you, and use the amount of money and goods as a measure of whether officials are loyal to the emperor. You also sent a large number of eunuchs to various places to act as mine supervisors and tax collectors, wantonly collecting the people's fat and ointment. As a result, the people's hearts are turbulent, the people are in turmoil, and the society is more and more turbulent. Since you ignore the government affairs, the minister's recitals and your edicts are all conveyed by the inner servants. The major matter of appointing the crown prince has been delayed for a long time, and the various factions of the bureaucratic clique have become angry with each other, and the party struggle has become more and more intense. The struggle between the Donglin Party and the various parties was incompatible and lasted for a long time, and the Ming Dynasty was on the verge of collapse. ”

Emperor Wanli's face turned red, holding the teacup in his hand, and he slammed it to the ground, and Guocheng was so frightened that he knelt on the ground: "Weichen is guilty." ”

The chamberlain broke in, and Wanli's eyes widened: "Go out, talk to your family, what are you doing when you come in." ”

The old tiger was majestic, Wanli was angry, and the waiter was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated, and said in his heart: "The son of the country is surnamed Guo, when did he become your own family?" ”

Wanli said depressedly: "Is I so unbearable? ”

Guocheng said: "These are all saints in the eyes of those imperial historians, and there are some different opinions below. ”

Wanli said: "If you criticize me, you won't be exempt, I have been scolded enough today." Alas, I am really, knowing that the truth is not good, and I still want to force you to say it, and I will suffer it myself. ”

Guocheng said: "Whether an emperor is good or not depends on his cultural and martial arts." Because long live you are ruled by the arch, culture and art are unprecedentedly prosperous, science has Xu Guangqi, medicine has Li Shizhen, geography has Xu Xiake, philosophy has Li Zhen, drama has Tang Xianzu, art has Dong Qichang, the market culture is unprecedentedly splendid, and people in the future will associate Wanli and the prosperous era together. ”

Wanli said: "Although I don't understand what you said, I feel very distressed for some reason." I'm really that good? ”

Guocheng said: "If it weren't for your openness, Daming would not have today's achievements." Let's talk about martial arts, the three major expeditions of Wanli will be immortalized with your name. ”

Wanli shook his head and said, "I used the wrong person, and the expedition to Liaodong was a fiasco." ”

Guocheng said: "The three major campaigns I am talking about are the three battles of Ningxia Pingbibai, North Korea's pursuit of the Japanese Kou, and Banzhou Pingyang Yinglong. ”

Wanli straightened up and said, "The imperial history said that I helped Korea defeat the Japanese and spent money and food, so happy, I didn't think that it was a great achievement of mine in your mouth?" ”

Guocheng said: "The ambition of the wolf is to occupy North Korea and use North Korea as a springboard to attack the Ming Dynasty. The emperor attacked in time, let the Japanese invade North Korea, and defended thousands of Ming people, how can it be said that it is wasteful? ”

Wanli was overjoyed and said: "I said, I am not wrong in the battle of Korea. ”

Guocheng said: "I believe that people will remember the Battle of Korea more in the future." ”

Wanli said: "I have martial arts, I am not afraid to see Teacher Zhang." Guocheng, thank you. I reward you, reward you......"

Wanli suddenly fell silent, Guocheng was shocked, and hurriedly went to probe his snort, but Wanli grabbed Guocheng's hand and said, "Are you surnamed Zhang?" ”

Guocheng couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "Long live, you have asked this question before, I don't have the surname Zhang, my surname is Guo." ”

Wanli said: "Guocheng, how come you are the same as Teacher Zhang, what you say can make my eyes shine?" ”

Guocheng brazenly boasted to himself: "Maybe I'm as smart as Mr. Zhang, the so-called heroes see the same thing." ”

Wanli smiled and suddenly asked, "Do you want to be my righteous son?" ”

Guocheng thought for a moment and said, "I don't want to." ”

Wanli's voice suddenly turned cold: "Do you think I am not worthy?" ”

Guocheng said: "I and Ah Jian are brothers, if you are the emperor's righteous son, it will not be a mess." ”

Wanli said: "You mean to let me accept you as a grandson?" ”

Guocheng said: "Please long live the dragon will be judged by heaven." ”

Wanli laughed and said, "Lu Shou came in, and he was going to make a will." ”

Lu Shou was listening to the wall outside, because the voice of Guocheng and Wanli was loud and small, and he couldn't really hear it, he only felt that Wanli was happy and angry, and Guocheng was too ignorant, and he could still stimulate Wanli at this time, and he didn't think he was walking fast enough. Hearing Wanli call him, he hurriedly dressed and went in.

Wanli dictated, Lu Shou recorded: "...... Accepted Guocheng as my righteous grandson, gave him the surname Zhu, changed his name to Zhu Cheng, entered the royal family tree, and accompanied and protected Zhu Youzhen for life. For example, if the criminal is not cut, he should not be cut, he should not be cut, he should not be hanged, he should not be beaten, he should not be closed, and he should not be beaten. Remember, my descendants. ”

Guocheng - now it's time to call Zhu Cheng, and said in his heart: "Isn't this giving me another gold medal for avoiding death, haha, it seems that I am really destined for the gold medal for avoiding death, there is a box at home, and here is another one." ”

A few days later, Wanli died, Zhu Cheng and Zhu Youzhen almost fainted from crying, although they knew that Wanli would not survive for a few days, but his death still made the two grief-stricken.

To the surprise of the two, as soon as the protectors of the two left, the Prince's Mansion extended a black hand to them again.
