In recent days, Chang'an City has been very lively, because on November 1, the fourth year of Honghua of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court will hold a celebration of the 510th anniversary of the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

510 years ago, the Ming Emperor Zhu Dachang (the forbidden book says that the original name of the Zu Emperor was Zhu Chang, nicknamed "pig intestine") accepted the Zen concession and served all over the world.

This is really a strange celebration, everyone says: "The Ming Dynasty is eternal, and the Ming Dynasty is a lineage", but everyone shouts: "Celebrate the 510th anniversary of the founding of the Ming Dynasty".

I asked the people on the street, "Do you think it's weird?" There is a contradiction between these two sentences. ”

People think I'm stupid: "You're stupid, what's so strange!" ”

Me: "Doesn't this celebration mean that 510 years ago was not the Ming Dynasty?" Then why do you say that the Ming Dynasty is eternal? ”

People: "Hey, you're stupid! Nothing 510 years ago! ”

Me: "But the universe has a history of tens of billions, the earth has billions, human beings have a history of millions of years, and the history of civilization is tens of thousands of years. ”

People: "You are talking nonsense, you are a demon cult." ”

Me: "You're just talking nonsense!" I said that these are written in the King James History Book, haven't you read the book? That's what your emperor wrote! ”

The people exclaimed: "Rebellion! Rebellion! These are written in the book to prove the greatness of the Ming Emperor, and you actually used it to rebel! Come on, I've caught a demon cult, and the soldier will cut him down! ”

The imperial army of Chang'an City immediately came to arrest me, and took out a knife to cut me.

I took out my ID, which was a few levels higher than the superior of his superior, and everyone kowtowed to me.

On this day of universal celebration, the whole world came to celebrate the emperor - well, to pretend that the whole world came to celebrate the emperor.

The four provinces rebelled, the Holy Land and Sichuan ignored you at all, the four overseas provinces did not exist, and Mongolia in the Western Regions was not controlled, and there were only eleven provinces left.

Poor emperor, only half of the country is left.

However, the emperor was still quite happy, because the Shanxi envoy came.

Some people have to ask, why is it called a "special mission"?

Isn't Shanxi the mainland of the Ming Dynasty?

Why is it also called an "envoy" like Goryeo?

- This is because, although Shanxi is nominally a model province of the Ming Dynasty, it is actually highly autonomous.

Although she is in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, it is also like an isolated island, with the tall Jin Great Wall in the north across the Mongolian steppe, the Yellow River in the west and south, and the towering Taihang Mountain in the east, which is simply a natural isolation place.

Their principle is: I don't interfere in the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty, and I am loyal to the Ming Dynasty, taxes and military service are paid, but the Ming Dynasty should not interfere with me, and the provincial governor and the overseer should not be sent to me.

Of course, if you want autonomy, you must have strength, and who dares to play autonomy without strength? And Shanxi does have this strength, their infantry attack may not work, but the defense is the first in the world. In history, many provincial armies, government armies, and even imperial armies have beaten her, but none of them have been able to beat her.

Shanxi has lived their small life since then, and they have lived quite well.

This time, Shanxi sent an envoy group across the turbulent Yellow River to give the emperor face, and the emperor was very happy.

Although Shanxi is next to Gyeonggi, the Yellow River is blocked between them, this section of the Yellow River is particularly urgent, there is no bridge on it, in the past can only detour to the Central Plains, but this time it is completely on a dangerous sheepskin raft one by one, it is said that a few people drowned in the middle.

There were more than 60 people in the Shanxi mission, bringing all kinds of rare treasures, the most precious of which was a gemstone, which was the fossil of an ancient plant.

The fossil is an ancient tree millions or even tens of millions of years ago, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, and undergoing the test of heaven and earth in the ground of hundreds of meters and thousands of meters, and finally became a swarthy, but shiny treasure, and what is even stranger is that this treasure can also be used for writing!

The strangest thing is that this baby can still ignite a fire!

It's so strange that who in this world has ever seen a gem that can be lit?

The head of the mission was about thirty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a flat head.

He clapped his hands vigorously, and his men opened a yew box wrapped in gold silk, and when the box was opened, the red brocade was covered with dark but shining treasures.

Everyone stood on tiptoe to look at it, shocked expressions on their faces.

He said: "I am Wang Weijin, the seventh son of Wang Zhuning, the head of the Wang family in Shanxi. Today coincides with the 510th anniversary of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and my father specially asked me to dedicate our heirloom to His Majesty. This gem is called coal, which is unique in the world, only Shanxi Province has it, and we don't have a few pieces. ”

The ministers let out an exclamation of amazement.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction and said, "Haha." Congratulations and congratulations! Is Shanxi okay? ”

Wang Weijin: "Shanxi has always been loyal to the royal family. The year before last, the emperor said that the tax and forced labor would be increased by 50 percent, and my father immediately complied. Last year, the emperor said that it would continue to increase by 50 percent, and my father did the same. This year, the emperor said that it would be increased by another 50 percent, and the family would complete the task before November. ”

The emperor gave a thumbs up: "If everyone in the world is as loyal as the people of Shanxi, people will live and work in peace and contentment, and the world will always enjoy peace!" ”

"But what?" Wang Weijin paused, glanced at the hundreds of imperial officials in the main hall, and continued: "My father feels that rights and obligations are equal, and you can't expect to be bare-haired and not pay. My father is good to the court, but what about the court to my father? ”

Wang Weijin looked at everyone.

The ministers whispered.

The Emperor looked puzzled.

Prime Minister Li Guozhong stood up: "What do you mean by this!" The imperial court can't even enter your Shanxi, what do you want? Say such cool things! ”

Wang Weijin: "I have a younger brother named Wang Weiguo, my father's favorite son. He is a person who likes to 'defend the country'. He wanted to come to Chang'an five years ago to participate in the martial arts examination, but his father tried every means to dissuade him, and he had to say nonsense about 'protecting the family and defending the country'. My father didn't persuade him, so he came. Coincidentally, my younger brother is really capable, and he actually fell into the martial arts! What do you think, how difficult it is, Wenju people can cheat, but Wuju people can be eliminated one by one, and real knives and guns are out! My father was very happy and celebrated. It's a pity that he went out to eat and drink one day, and suddenly disappeared. My father sent someone to Chang'an, and I have been looking for it for five years, but there is no one to see! My father sighed every day, almost crying blind! ”

Emperor: "This ...... We've built a new brocade guard, why don't you let them look for it? ”

Wang Weijin: "Thank you, Your Majesty, but don't worry, because we already know our whereabouts." ”

Li Guozhong: "Do you know your whereabouts and still talk to us?" ”

Wang Weijin: "But my father looked at my brother's bones and cried, so he sent me to ask His Majesty the Emperor, why is my brother so loyal to the emperor, and the emperor still cuts his throat and buries his servants alive?" Don't let us know for five years? ”

The hall was in an uproar.

The emperor was shocked.

Liu Xingchao and Li Feiyu's faces were gloomy.

-

-

Li Guozhong: "What's going on? I don't know! Who killed it? I didn't even hear it from the Prime Minister! ”

Liu Xingchao, the head of the inner court, stood up: "Five years ago? At that time, it was the time of Li Yongfu, the former head of the Inner Court, and Zhao Guangxin, the former prime minister, who knows which of the two of them did it! ”

Wang Weijin sneered, he pointed to Li Feiyu next to Liu Xingchao: "Hehe! But I know it—he did it, Li Feiyu! ”

The hall was in an even greater uproar.

Li Feiyu is the general of the forbidden army, the second in command of the forbidden army, and can be regarded as the top ten imperial officials in the Ming Dynasty.

Li Feiyu looked at them coldly.

Liu Xingchao: "There is no basis for what you say, this must be framed by someone!" ”

Wang Weijin sneered: "Framed? That's really realistic. We exhumed dozens of decomposing bodies on the outskirts of Xi'an County, it was my brother and his servants! We asked hundreds of people who were at the Chang'an Enchantress Hotel in Xi'an County, and although they didn't dare to admit it at first, we either gave a lot of money or tortured them to extract confessions, and in the end they all said exactly the same thing. You think, hundreds of people didn't collude to confess, and they all said the same thing! Do you want me to bring dozens of boxes of bones and hundreds of witnesses to the palace? ”

Liu Xingchao touched his chin and didn't speak.

Li Feiyu looked at him coldly.

The voices of the ministers were louder.

The emperor looked at Wang Weijin, looked at Li Feiyu, looked at Wang Weijin, and then looked at Li Feiyu. One represents Shanxi, and the other represents the forbidden army. He must be thinking, who is on his side?

Liu Xingchao: "Okay, I seem to have heard of it. Your stupid brother made trouble in Xi'an County and was executed by the forbidden army. ”

Wang Weijin: "What should I do then?" ”

Liu Xingchao's face was expressionless: "What should I do?" Cold! ”

Wang Weijin stared at Liu Xingchao's eyes: "You mean how is this over?" ”

Liu Xingchao also stared at Wang Weijin's eyes: "It was over five years ago. What else do you want to do? ”

Wang Weijin stared at Liu Xingchao's eyes for a long time, and said, "Who does this mean, do you mean it or the meaning of the imperial court?" ”

Liu Xingchao, the head of the inner court, stared at Wang Weijin's eyes for a long time, and said, "I represent the imperial court." ”

Wang Weijin: "I represent Shanxi. From now on, we will be at odds with you. Unless, I want that person to die! ”

He pointed his finger at Li Feiyu.

Li Feiyu clenched his hands, and the green tendons on his forearms burst out.

Liu Xingchao raised his chin and said to Wang Weijin: "Ha, rebellion!" ”

Wang Weijin: "Say whatever you want!" ”

Liu Xingchao shouted: "Someone! ”

The four forbidden soldiers hurriedly stepped forward. It stands to reason that the governor can't shout like this, only the emperor can shout, but who can control the governor?

Liu Xing said: "Give me the Royal Prison Department!" ”

He then said to the emperor: "It's not a pity for the rebel son of the Wang family to die, and if Shanxi rebels, he will rebel, dare to use this excuse!" Which province rebelled is not a set of words! If Shanxi really dares to rebel, the forbidden army will immediately blow up Shanxi! ”

The hall was very quiet.

The emperor looked at everyone on the dragon chair for a while, and said what he said most often: "Retreat from the dynasty!" ”

-

-

The inner court was assembled, and the atmosphere was tense.

Li Feiyu spoke first: "That bastard is so arrogant in the court, kill him!" ”

Liu Xingchao, the head of the inner court, was furious: "Shut up! What else can you do but kill someone? Didn't you cause this? ”

He slapped the table hard, and the yew table immediately scattered, and the paper, pen and ink splashed everywhere.

Everyone stood up in fright.

Liu Xingchao: "Can't you see it? The problem now is not the rebellion in Shanxi, I will level Shanxi with a single finger! The problem is that there are traitors among us! How many people know the details of this matter? The only people who knew about the burial site were me and Li Feiyu, and the rest of the insiders were all killed, but why could they still be recruited? Is this the prime minister's ghost, or will the patriarch do it? ”

He finally said, "Fight, fight, fight!" It's a hundred times after the fight! They don't always like this, and when there is a conflict, they move it outward. When the fight is over, who dares to say a word about the inner court! ”

In the end, he stood up straight and said: "Order all the forbidden troops to return to the team, and order all the corps commanders and army commanders, after the forbidden army is fully formed, they will go out on an expedition, whether you are Henan, Hebei, Liaodong, Lingnan, or Shanxi, I will convince you all!" ”
