Chapter 2 Onlookers and Onlookers
Standing by the river and looking around, he saw the shadow of the city gate in the distance, and it seemed that it was the city. Guocheng stabbed his head wildly and walked towards the city gate in the right direction.
After all, it was a child, and it was not until noon that he walked to the city gate. The appearance of this city gate is very familiar, isn't this the holy place in the minds of the Chinese - **? He was relieved that most of the ancient city gates were the same style, the difference was only the size of the city gate tower and the height of the city wall.
The top of the city gate hole is engraved with the three big characters of "Zuo'anmen", and there is a team of soldiers standing guard at the door to check the luggage and belongings of the people entering the city to see what contraband there is. However, they examined it roughly, probably because of the peaceful and prosperous times, since no one rebelled, why bother themselves and pedestrians. Guocheng felt at ease, and sighed secretly: "I'd rather be a peace dog, don't be chaotic and leave people." God is not thin on himself after all, if he encounters the troubled times of the late Tang Dynasty, the late Song Dynasty, and the late Ming Dynasty, then how can he get it. ”
Guocheng entered the city very smoothly, but it was strange that he didn't see a tax collector at the city gate, so he didn't need to pay taxes when he entered the city. Seeing the palace opera, even the common people have to pay taxes when they go to the city to sell eggs, which makes the people's livelihood wither. The strange thing is that since the Qing court is not good, why are there so many Qing court dramas, and can't it be restored? I really don't understand the history of 5oooo years, is it only the Qing Dynasty worth shooting? Qing palace dramas, people are ugly, ugly, and clothes are ugly. For so many years, he was only amazed by the clothes of the people in the play in a Qing court drama, which was a flowing purple costume that suddenly appeared in a group of robes and horse coats, and his eyes lit up instantly, this is a beautiful ancient costume. Take a closer look, the man in the purple robe is a Taoist priest, and he is naturally wearing a Taoist robe, and the Taoist robe is the most ugly Hanfu. This is able to suppress the robe and horse coat, which shows the charm of Hanfu.
Guocheng thought ramblingly as he squeezed into the city. It was nearly noon, the sun was blazing, but there were still a lot of people in the city. Standing on the side of this city wall, you can see that there seems to be an inner city wall in the distance, and it seems that the inner city is not small. The answer quickly came from the conversation, and this is Beijing. Wow, it's really the style of the Heavenly Empire.
But it's a troublesome thing to determine the year, so why don't you just pull a pedestrian and ask, "May I ask you, brother, what year is this year?" I crossed over, and I don't know the year yet. "Luck, being taken for a nerve; Bad luck and being thought of as a goblin.
Suddenly, there was a large group of people in front of him, what had happened? Hehe, there's a lot of excitement to see. Guocheng also didn't care about the year or not, his gossip heart was big, waving the fine tradition of Chinese people who love to watch the excitement, arching into the crowd. Some people were squeezed by him, and they were about to do it, but now they are just a little beggar, and they laughed and scolded.
Guocheng squeezed to the front and looked up, it turned out to be a bulletin board with a yellow notice pasted on it: "Emperor...... Emperor...... The Emperor's List! "It's a pity that the height of the royal list is designed for adults - what child will be idle and have nothing to do with this thing, neither eat nor play. So even if Guocheng raised his head high, he could only see black ink balls. He took a few steps back, but the ink ball was out of sight, only a few fat butts.
"Isn't that bullying me?" Guocheng thought indignantly.
He wanted to hear others read the emperor's list, but there were a lot of gags, but there were not even half of them reading while watching.
finally waited for the crowd to disperse, and Guocheng saw the emperor list clearly. However, he hasn't played enough of him on the current emperor list: first, the emperor list is a traditional Chinese character; Second, the imperial list is classical Chinese. "That's too bad for me. As the saying goes, it's a guest from afar. I'm from a modern age, and I'm a visitor from afar, and I don't know if I don't know how to read traditional Chinese and classical Chinese. Forget it, it's up to you, I'm afraid of you. ”
Although he was slandered, Guocheng still studied the emperor list seriously. Thanks to the school, thanks to the nine-year compulsory education, thanks to ccTV...... Well, it's a bit farther away, but in short, although it was very difficult, he still used the knowledge he learned in the previous life to understand the meaning of the imperial list with a vague guess.
It turned out that the son of the emperor's son probably ate too much delicacies from the mountains and seas, and actually got anorexia, and he didn't think about tea all day long, didn't want to eat, and vomited as soon as he ate it.
"Damn, I don't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings." Guocheng was almost envious and jealous, "I have an empty stomach now, just give me those delicacies, I can even eat a cow now." What a banana watermelon! ”
The last phrase, "banana and watermelon", was taught to him by his brother Guozhong: whenever you want to swear, use fruit instead. Because when he was a child, Guocheng was often punished by the dean and teachers for getting dirty. Thinking of this, Guo Cheng's heart couldn't help but feel a little gloomy, I don't know how Guo Zhong is now, the Nine Yin and Nine Yang Bagua Array has already been crooked, and the seizure is naturally impossible to carry out, I don't know how he is in the other world now......
Let's go back to the royal list. The emperor and grandson are sick, and the old emperor is of course in a hurry, and he is out of the list to find a famous doctor. But this emperor is really stingy, and he doesn't even say a reward. People go to see your grandson, if they can't be cured, they may have to kill their heads, and if they are cured, they will not be rewarded for anything, and the heads of those who dare to expose the emperor's list must have been hit hard in the ground, and this place is guaranteed to be concrete. I don't know how to make peeing cow balls, and even if I can do it, I don't joke about my head - it's better to have an original head.
"I'll take a look at which emperor it is, maybe it's the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. From ancient times to the present, no emperor was as poor as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and no emperor was as aggrieved as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty bribed the ministers not to oppose the establishment of his son as the crown prince, with one hundred taels of silver, which can be called a miracle in the world. Mingshenzong Zhu Yijun wanted to play with artillery when he was a child, but he canceled it because he had no money, and later he was so angry that he didn't go to court for 30 years because of the problem of establishing a prince. Guocheng thought as he looked to the left of the imperial list, "Da Ming...... Sure enough, it was the Ming Dynasty, and the next was the era name......"
The era name is gorgeously blocked. The two soldiers who watched the list, one stood on the left side of the imperial list, and the other stood on the right side. The one on the left hand crossed his waist, it stands to reason that this heroic action can't stop the emperor's list, but Guocheng is now less than three feet, and it's hell if he doesn't block it.
"Excuse me, do me a favor." Guocheng said politely to the soldier who was watching the list.
The soldier who was watching the list looked at Guocheng, turned around and tore off the imperial list with a "whoosh" and handed it to him: "Take it, this is the imperial list." ”
Guocheng was so moved that tears were about to fall: "People's soldiers! I just want him to give it up and show me the era name. He actually tore it off for me to see clearly, what a good person. ”
He unfolded the imperial list and looked directly at the year name: the forty-fourth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty. Guocheng was shocked, he had seen "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", and he also knew about the absurd emperor of Wanli, who reigned for forty-eight years. His son, Taichang, reigned for a month. Sun Tzu is apocalypse, and there is a country for seven years. The second grandson Chongzhen insisted for a longer time, and for seventeen years, he was forced to die in the coal mountain by Li Zicheng. Next came the entry of the Qing army, and the whole country was a sea of corpses and blood, followed by braids, and the Chinese finally became indigenous. In other words, he finally came to the end of the Ming Dynasty that he was most worried about.
Guocheng handed over the imperial list to the soldier in despair, turned around and was about to leave, when he suddenly heard the soldier say: "This little ...... Small...... Little boy, please come this way. ”
Looking at Guocheng's age and clothing, the soldier was a little unsure of what to call him.
"What's the matter, this military master."
"If you take off the imperial list, you naturally want to go to the palace to meet the current saint."
"What? I didn't remove the emperor's list, you removed the emperor's list. ”
"Didn't you tell me to uncover it? You just pulled my clothes and told me to take them off. ”
Guocheng understood why this soldier handed him the imperial list: "I want to see the corner of the imperial list that you blocked just now, so please let me go." ”
The soldier thought that he might have made a big fuss. It's all because he went to the teahouse yesterday to listen to a book. The storyteller said well, there are four kinds of people in the rivers and lakes today that cannot be provoked: monks, Taoist priests, women and children, because since they have come to the rivers and lakes, they must have extraordinary means. Otherwise, monks and Taoist priests can only chant scriptures in the temple, and women can only coax children. When he saw Guocheng pulling his shirt, he couldn't help but think of this sentence, plus the height difference, he didn't hear what the kid said, and directly tore off the imperial list. He thought that when children come to the rivers and lakes, they must have great skills. But he forgot one thing, is this a river and lake? Of course, he can't admit it now, otherwise he will have to bear the charge of privately exposing the emperor's list: "Obviously, you asked me to help you expose it." ”
The soldier's heart was weak, and his voice couldn't help but rise. Now it's probably like this, all unreasonable people tend to have a higher voice, as if as long as the tone is high, they will take up a little more reason that they didn't occupy before. He shouted, and the crowd that had just dispersed gathered as if they had heard a commanding order.
Onlookers, inhumane onlookers.
"This military master," seeing more and more people, Guocheng was not stunned, "What a glorious thing it is to reveal the emperor's list, how can you find someone to do it for you." I just watched the words on the emperor's list be familiar and unrestrained, so I wanted to appreciate every word. Only then did he borrow light from the military master and look at the blocked words. ”
The soldier froze, and he thought that the shouting and questioning would scare the young boy into trembling and leaning down to confess his guilt. Unexpectedly, this kid was not afraid. The soldier thought about it, and this little boy heard the words praising calligraphy from somewhere, so he came here to show off, and said: "Since you think that the calligraphy on this emperor's list is good, then you can read the words on it again, and I will let you go; I can't think of it, hehe, you go to the lobby with you. ”
The onlookers talked a lot, and everyone heard that the soldier wanted to slander the little scream. Xiao Xiaohua is only five or six years old, not to mention that he has no money to study, even if he has studied, how can he know the words on the list. Everyone was gossiping about the soldiers, let the boy go.
Another soldier walked over, raised the big knife in his hand, and said sharply: "The emperor list is so solemn, you can't regret it if you reveal it." My brother is soft-hearted, give this child a chance, you still dare to be verbose, isn't it itchy? Well! ”
The crowd was so frightened that they couldn't make a sound. Guocheng knew that these two soldiers were relying on him, but it was okay, there were so many witnesses, and he was not afraid of them playing tricks at that time.
"Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict says......" Guocheng cleared his throat and read the imperial list fluently in a crisp children's voice, there were a few words in the middle that he didn't recognize, and he didn't say anything vaguely, and read half of it directly, anyway, there was no "Modern Chinese Dictionary" at this time, so he was not afraid of them checking it. Even if they are given this "Modern Chinese Dictionary", they are not afraid, they must also be able to look it up.
Everyone was dumbfounded, they couldn't imagine that this little beggar could know so many words, and they waited until Guocheng read "the forty-fourth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty" before everyone woke up. When he landed, there was a round of applause.
The two soldiers still didn't give up, and asked, "Do you know what the emperor said?" ”
"Of course." Speaking of vernacular, Guocheng is not afraid of him, "What Bangwen said is that the saint's grandson is sick, and the illness is that he doesn't want to eat. The saint wanted to look for strange people or a panacea to cure his grandson. ”
Only then did the two soldiers give up. It's good that I didn't find a scapegoat for revealing the emperor's list, but instead made this matter known to passers-by, which is unlucky. They don't want to think about it, even if they catch Guocheng, can they escape? Two heavily armed soldiers can't stand an emperor's list, so let a child reveal it lightly, doesn't this make the people in the capital laugh off their big teeth?
Leaving the bulletin board, Guo Cheng was preoccupied, and walked to a stone door and sat down: this is good, it fell to the end of the Ming Dynasty, and when the Qing soldiers entered the customs, he was just over thirty years old, and he must not have been able to get the ticket to the Western Heaven Elysium, either he shaved his head and became a slave, or he was not slaughtered by the Qing soldiers when he was not obedient, and of course, he could not escape the butcher's knife of the Qing soldiers when he became a Shunmin. He doesn't want to be like this, he just wants to be a peaceful ordinary person in this life, use the knowledge that is hundreds of years ahead to make a few small money, marry a few beautiful little wives, and live a little life. He doesn't have any lofty ideals, saving the country and saving the people, that's a big man's business, and it has nothing to do with a small person like himself. Besides, so many heroes in the late Ming Dynasty, like Sun Chengzong, Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Bianjiao, Shi Kefa, Zheng Chenggong, these characters are not capable of turning the tide, they are not as capable as them, what qualifications do they have to save. Speaking of saving the country, he ran to the palace and said to Comrade Wanli: "Hey, you can sit in this country for thirty years, and it will be the turn of the Qing Dynasty in the future." "Saving the country is a designated no play, and killing the head is the first one. What's more, Comrade Wanli is in the deep palace, how can he see it lightly?
Surrendering to the Qing court, this is something he can never do. In order to rule the Central Plains, this gang of robbers increased the production of small wild boar skins on the one hand, and went to the Han areas to rob women to breed Manchurian wild boars, and gave birth to countless baby wild boars with "lightning speed"; On the other hand, the massacre of the Han people, the ten days of Yangzhou and the three massacres of Jiading were the eternal pain in his heart, especially in Sichuan, even the people were killed for him, and he had to move people from Huguang to the past. The most resentful thing is that in order to firmly rule the Central Plains, they suppressed their thoughts and flourished, and it was inevitable that they would be killed if they were criticized, and they would also be killed if they were suspected of insinuating that they were also killed. In the later stage, even Gong Zizhen lamented: "I advise the Heavenly Father to be vigorous and reduce talents without sticking to one pattern." Is there no talent? No, it's the talents they have killed. Even the loyal doglegs of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they were not at ease. Dai Zi presented a series of fire guns (primitive machine guns) to the Kangxi Emperor and was exiled to Liaodong. So much so that at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Chinese people saw foreign devils firing cannons, thinking that it was a demon law, and used women's menstrual blood and black dog blood to crack it......
How can this pile and piece not make Guocheng's heart ache?
By the way, I can go to Nanyang. I remember that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was a prince who went into exile overseas with his family and servants, and was able to die a good death, saving a piece of blood for the Han family. The Qing court had a bitter hatred for the Han Chinese, but it was very friendly to ethnic groups other than the Han Chinese. Like Burma and Vietnam, they were completely destroyed under the artillery fire of the Qing army. I first took advantage of the peace in the past few years to dig the first pot of gold, and then recruited troops and horses, went to Nanyang to occupy a small country, established myself as the king, and also lived the addiction of national leaders. However, he had to draw a clear line with the Ming Dynasty, like Zheng Chenggong, who was determined to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, but his old nest, Taiwan, was occupied by Kangxi.
Just thinking happily, with a "dang" sound, someone threw down a copper coin in front of Guocheng. Wow, the first pot of gold, Daming's capital is really the world's capital of goodness, and he can get a copper coin when he sits on the cold street. It was decided that the high-rise buildings would rise from the ground, and his exhibition plan in Daming would start from beggars. Go find a lively alley and do a good job as a beggar first.
