Chapter 202: The Second Capital of the Ming Dynasty

A brocade guard came to Ao Bai and said, "Lord Huang, Madame asked you to get into the carriage and talk." ”

"Excuse me."

Ao Bai got into the carriage and asked with a smile, "What's the matter with the ladies?" ”

Hai Lanzhu said lightly: "Anna feels a little unwell today, and she is a little nauseous after breakfast, could it be...," Really? ”

Seeing that Anna was a little shy, Ao Bai thought of what they were talking about.

Since "Chongzhen" became the emperor, Aobai has not carried out protective measures. The ladies all wanted to give him a baby, but they didn't expect that it was Anna, who was the last to come to the door, because the Portuguese were in good health?

Hai Lanzhu held her chin and sighed: "Alas, what is wrong with me, why do I still not have Haizi?" ”

"What's the hurry, you're still so young. It's just a little later, and we keep trying. Ao Bai hugged her and smiled.

If it is true, is your child the first Chinese-Portuguese mixed-race child? In the future, you can give him another Portuguese name, which is Luis. How about Figo? Or Cristiano. Is Ronaldo a good nickname? That's a problem. He was now thinking that the child would be born soon. The half-breed will definitely look different.

Ao Bai clapped his hands and proposed: "When the time comes, teach him both Portuguese and Portuguese, and this child will grow up to speak both Chinese." ”

Anna laughed, "That's when you thought of Obi." Now we teach Feihong and Jianxiang at home. ”

"I'm still playing the piano for them at home, and they might have a musical talent too." Su Meng'er said lightly.

The ladies have been engaged in innate education so early. The children must be very smart when they grow up, Ao Bai has been busy in the palace recently, and he has less time at home, so he apologized a little at the moment: "I've been busy a lot lately, I didn't know that you were teaching children like this, I'm really sorry."

Su Meng'er said lightly: "It's okay. You are the pride of your family, and we all hope that you can change the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible, but you don't have to rush to ask for power. Just like the change of the imperial examination system, the students in the capital are very worried about nicknames. ”

"I understand, I'll take my time later."

When resting, Ao Bai found the imperial doctor, and after taking Anna's pulse, he confirmed that it was a happy pulse. 【】

Everyone went to Nanjing together. The officials in the capital got the news and sent many people to greet them outside the city, and the pomp was very large.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Nanjing was once the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and it was moved to Beijing after Zhu Di, the king of Yan, usurped power. For Zhu Di, Nanjing was dangerous, and it was safe to move to Beijing. Because Zhu Di has been stationed in Beijing for a long time, he likes and adapts to life in Beijing, Beijing is his lair, plus he usurped the throne, and killed too many people in Nanjing, and the people in Nanjing hate him, which is very unfavorable to him, he is very lonely and uncomfortable in Nanjing, living in the palace in Nanjing, and feels that the souls of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunwen and many resentful spirits seem to have been surrounding the palace, making him restless.

As soon as they entered the city and looked at the crowded buildings in the city, everyone understood that Nanjing's luxury was no better than Beijing's. "Chongzhen" rode into the city on horseback, which made Li Langxian, the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, who was in charge of greeting him, a little surprised, and based on this alone, he felt that "Chongzhen" was not a faint monarch, and he was very courageous. And Ao Bai, Li Yan and others are even more heroic.

There are many important ministers in Nanjing, and there are also six departments. This is also a very characteristic point of the Ming Dynasty. After the Ming Dynasty became the capital of Beijing, it still retained Nanjing's status as the capital and retained a set of central institutions. Nanjing, like the Beijing Division, has six departments, the Metropolitan Inspection Yuan, the General Administration Division, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, the Hanlin Academy, the Guozijian and other institutions, and the rank of officials is also the same as that of the Beijing Division. The prefecture where Beijing is located is Shuntianfu, and the prefecture where Nanjing is located is Yingtianfu, collectively known as Erjingfu.

Ao Bai felt that Nanjing's six ministries were equivalent to the shadow governments of European and American countries in the 21 st century, and that once the central government encountered major changes or lost its functions, such as when foreign enemies invaded, Nanjing's six ministries began to assume the responsibilities of the central government.

"Chongzhen" smiled: "Li Qing, can you tell me about the situation here?" The more detailed, the better.

Li Langxian is in his fifties, he is a very spiritual literati, he also rode a horse, and said beside Chongzhen: "Back to the saint, the east of the city is the site of the imperial city, and the north of the city is the military district, and the total population of the city is about three million. Crafts, commercial and residential areas are concentrated in one area. This area starts from Dazhong Bridge in the east, reaches Sanshanmen in the west, Jubaomen in the south, and reaches Beimen Bridge in the north. The mansions of heroes, bureaucrats, and other nobles were mostly located in the south and middle of the city. In this area, more than 100,000 handicraft workers live in 21 squares in the south of the city. Among them, there are three brocade workshops, all of which are in the vicinity of Zhenhuai Bridge in Jubaomen. In the southwest of Zhenhuai Bridge, there are saddle bridle workshops, bow workshops, arrow smiths' workshops, iron workshops, silver workshops, felt workshops and three miscellaneous labor workshops. In addition, there are also Xiyi Street and Guangyi Street, which are also places where handicraftsmen live. ”

The handicraft industry here is very developed, and these workshop owners are very similar to the early capitalist merchants, and Nanjing is rich, and Turtle Bai feels that it is quite appropriate to move the capital here.

Ao Bai was more concerned about the imperial examination and digital education, and asked: "Where is Guozijian?" How about teaching now? ”

Guozijian was the highest institution of learning in the ancient Chinese education system, and the Guozijian located in Nanjing was called "Nanjian".

After inquiring about the education situation, only the Four Books and the Five Classics are taught here. Ao Bai was very disappointed, the imperial court had already said that it would open new subjects and change the university, but the people below did not respond. It's not the students' problem, the teachers are just a bunch of old rotten people, and they can't teach anything else except the Four Books and the Five Classics. Ao Bai can imagine the stupid appearance of those gentlemen who make students shake their heads and recite boring articles. How can we make these people realize that the Four Books and the Five Classics are useless, and how can we make them recognize the reality?

The function of the Four Books and the Five Classics is to put people in cages!

If there is no Confucianism in the West, is there such a thing as murder and arson, and children beating their parents? Is the false, evil, ugly and all ** phenomena because there is no Confucianism? During the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Confucianism was respected to the extreme, and the people were still poor. In Aobai's memory, the revolutions of all dynasties started from criticizing Confucius, and when people were in power, they had to invite Confucianism back, why? In order to be used as a tool for the ideology of the rule of the people! Fools!

Who created the human world? It's the working masses. Everything should belong to the laborers, why keep a swarm of parasites?

In the future, since the "May Fourth" New Culture Movement, the recitation of the Four Books and Five Classics has been abandoned for nearly a hundred years. Ao Bai did not read the Four Books and Five Classics in his previous life, and he will not be able to read them in this life.

In the thousands of years of human history, the most precious thing is not the dazzling science and technology, not the classic works of the vast masters, but the realization of the taming of the ruler and the realization of the dream of keeping the ruler in a cage. In the future, the leaders of many countries will stand in a cage and speak to the common people, subject to the supervision of the common people, and the greatest innovation is to put the ruler in a cage. Because the ruler can easily turn into a beast more ferocious than a lion or tiger. Compared to the rulers, the ruled are just sheep that can fall victim to the lion and tiger at any time. If the rulers are not locked up, there will be no security for the common people.

It's time for those who have been imprisoned for thousands of years to get out of their cages. Ao Bai sighed deeply.

Li Yan saw that Turtle Bai's face was not good-looking, and said with a smile: "Do you remember what I said before?" If you want to change a country, you can do it very quickly. ”

Ao Bai knew exactly what the method he said, that is, kill!

"Let me think again."

After staying in Nanjing for a few days, Ao Bai and "Chongzhen" appeared together as guests in the finals of the "Qinhuai Bayan Audition".

Most of the Qin Huai Bayan recorded in history have just been born now, and it is impossible for Chen Yuanyuan and Su Xiaoxiao to participate in the competition. So the names of the twelve players who entered the competition this time are all unfamiliar.

After explaining the rules, the host of the Ministry of Rites gave the judges a scoreboard. Ao Bai and Chongzhen were special guest judges and sat in a special position. There are a total of ten judges, all of whom are relatively old and once famous Oiran and talented literati, who are all very proficient in musical talents, just like the stars of this era. I don't know how, Li Yan sat next to them, looking like the eleventh judge.

Turtle Bai pulled Li Yan aside and asked, "Why did you come to the stage too?" What kind of means did you use to bribe the organizers and get them to give you a place.7 This is a regular event, don't make trouble. ”

Li Yan said with a smile: "Don't worry, I don't give people a score, and I don't confiscate anyone from the gift department, I just told them that I am your cousin, and they all know that I live in your house, so they immediately believed it and took the initiative to arrange this position for me." ”

Turtle worship: "...., the host introduced the shortlisted contestants one by one.

I saw a dignified and beautiful girl walking on stage, and the host said loudly: "This is a local Xue Baochai girl, and her specialty is.... Xue Baochai? Dream? Because she is the host, she has the most people holding a sign to cheer her, led by a handsome and talented son. Ao Bai immediately asked the local staff of the Ministry of Rites, who is the handsome boy below?

"That Xue Gongzi is Xue Baochai's brother Xue Pan, who is literary and charming, and is also good at calligraphy and painting. He can be said to be the girl idol of the JAC generation. ”

Ao Bai slammed his head on the table, almost breaking it. He noticed that there was a guy who looked like Song Zude not far from Xue Pan, who was squinting at Xue Pan with an unhappy expression.

He asked, "What's that disc over there doing?" ”

The staff whispered: "That person's name is Jia Baoyu, the Jia family is very powerful in the local area, and he is stalking the girl who is chasing Baochai, and everyone hates it...... The attendant next to him was his only friend, a petty officer in charge of weaving. ”

Ao Bai said: "Then the follower can't be a sex calamus, right?" ”

"It's Sex Cao, you know him, my lord-)"

A lot of information shows that "Dream of Red Mansions" was written at the end of the Ming Dynasty, I rub it, is this the real inside story of the Red Mansion?
