Chapter 414: The Thirteenth Year of Wanli
I vaguely heard someone talking, a man's voice, a woman's voice, all a little hoarse.
Consciousness gradually recovered, I slowly opened my eyes, first saw a round sun, the sun was a little dazzling, I subconsciously reached out to block it, only to feel that my hands were full of mud.
Immediately, I smelled the smell of grass, mixed with the smell of grass, and the crisp sound came from the front left.
I instinctively looked in the direction from which the voice came, first at a turquoise patch, then at a burning pain in my neck.
After exerting his strength, he realized that he was weak, and after a feeling of dizziness, it was dark in front of him.
I took a deep breath and felt a little better, and at the same time I saw three people standing on the bank of the river less than ten meters away from me.
After a glance, he found himself lying in muddy water, on the edge of a large river to be exact, with his knees below in the water and his knees above in the mud.
This river?
This man?
The river dozens of meters wide flows quietly, and the earthy yellow water shines in the sunlight.
The three of them stared at me, looking at the expressions on their faces, as if they were surprised, and what made me even more puzzled was what they were wearing.
Three men, two men and one woman, all wearing long robes, and all with long hair tied on their heads, one of them was an old man with gray temples, and the other was a young man, who was about the same age as me.
The old man carried a hoe, the young man carried a brown sack, and the old lady carried a small basket in her hand.
Why are these people dressed like this?
Where am I?
In an instant, memories flashed out of consciousness.
Just now I fell from the Nai Ho Bridge into the Nai River...... Falling all the time, all the time and then in an instant, all consciousness was lost.
This is obviously not under the bridge, and it should not be in the underworld, because the first thing I saw was the red sun.
Did I follow the Nai River to the sun?
But it shouldn't! The Nai River is a river of the underworld, and it is impossible for yin and yang to communicate with each other......
These people are dressed in such an unusual way...... Is it filming a TV series?
I forcibly resisted the sharp pain in my neck and looked to the sides to see my surroundings clearly.
This should be a big river β it looks like the Yellow River.
Look at these three people in fancy clothes - what is the situation? Where am I? Is it dead or alive? When I thought about it too hard, I suddenly felt dizzy again.
"Are you alright, young man?"
The old man among the three spoke, and the voice was Henan accent.
"Why are you lying by the river? Did you accidentally fall into the water? β
"O wife! You and Zhiming go and help him up! The old woman also has a Henan accent with an earthy smell, which sounds very kind.
With that, two men, an old man and a young man, wrapped in mud, came to me and helped me up.
My head was very dizzy, and I tried my best to recall what happened before, whether it was the bronze gate, or the Huangquan Road, and even the passage that surrounded me to the side of the Nai He Bridge was very clear, but no matter what I thought, I just couldn't remember why I was here.
When I stood up, I realized that I was wet.
"Here...... Where is this? β
I touched my dizzy forehead and asked softly.
The old man was stunned at first: "You're not a local?" β
I smiled wryly, "I need to know where this is!" β
Before I could reply, the old woman next to me spoke again: "Young man, why are you dressed so strangely!" This dress...... We've never seen this before! β
Subconsciously glanced at his mud clothes, these are ordinary clothes! Look at the three people on the other side, it's obvious that they are wearing robe strange costumes, why do you still say that I ......
Suddenly, my brain "buzzed" and I realized that something was wrong!
"Where the hell is this? You guys...... Who are you? I asked anxiously.
"This is Luoyang! We? We are all from Xuejia Village, and we grow rice here......"
The old man and the old lady said a sentence one by one, and they both said it with a serious face, which blinded me.
"Luoyang? Luoyang, Henan! β
A map of Chinese roosters flashed through my mind.
Although Henan and Shandong are two adjacent provinces, Dongying in Shandong is not close to Luoyang, Henan, and it is estimated that it is almost 1,500 miles! Why did I cross the bridge after falling into the water?
"Uncle, aunt...... How do you wear such clothes, and ...... Still with their hair in a bun? β
I asked, confused, almost blurting it out.
"You, young man...... You didn't break your head, did you? β
I rubbed it: "It's okay! β
The old man looked me up and down seriously: "I didn't break my head, why do you say such crazy things?" β
Hearing the old man say this, I was stunned, this is obviously not a joke...... I think they are dressed strangely, and they think I am strange, and there must be something wrong with the communication between the two sides.
Looking back on my experience and the environment at this time, an electric current instantly ran down my spine from the top of my head, and I realized that something strange was happening to me.
"Uncle, can you tell me what year this is?"
All three of them looked at me at the same time with stupid eyes.
"Young man, I'll show you the doctor! It seems that you may have your head poured into the Yellow River, dressed strangely, and said strange things. β
Kindness? "Uncle, what are you talking about! Why are you scolding! "361 Reading
The old man waved his hand: "Where is the scolding!" What year is it called? When the people in the government hear this, they are afraid that they will arrest you. The old man's voice was noticeably lower.
"What are you doing with me!" I was stunned, "You said the government?" β
The old man "shh It's the thirteenth year of Wanli now, what? You must have forgotten! β
I was trembling again, where I had forgotten, I clearly didn't know.
Thirteen years of Wanli?
Wanli is the Yellow Emperor in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, I thought about it, about 400 years ago, I have traveled to the Ming Dynasty? No wonder they thought I was dressed and spoke strangely.
"Where did you come from, young man? How to lie in the Yellow River beach? β
I smiled wryly, not knowing how to answer.
"ShandongβI'm from Shandong!" I had to answer truthfully.
"It's from Shandong! Shandong is not close, you ...... Did you capsize the boat you were on? β
At this time, my heart was already in a mess, and I still had time to explain to them, so I nodded casually.
I cursed in my heart, a few years ago, the TV station always broadcast time-traveling dramas, what "Xun Qin Ji", "Tang Brick", and a popular online adaptation, it seems to be called "Crossing the Ming Dynasty as a King", I also read more than 100 chapters of this tree, but I didn't expect me to also travel to the Ming Dynasty.
Quickly glanced at the three rings on the left hand, very happy! All three rings are still there.
Although I don't dare to say that I am proficient in history, I still know a lot of historical events because I like it.
For example, there are a few things that happened during the Wanli period.
Perhaps the most famous among the people is the "Red Pill Case"! In addition, there is the famous reformer Zhang Juzheng, and the famous medical technique "Compendium of Materia Medica" came out.
It is said that Emperor Wanli was a very accomplished emperor in the early stage, but in the middle and late stages, he began to ignore the government and politics, as if he liked the carpenter's manual work, and ignored the government for more than ten years.
Of course, the most interesting thing is the "Red Pill Case":
In the forty-eighth year of Wanli, Shenzong died of illness. After Guangzong ascended the throne, he wanted to prove that he was a diligent ruler, but he was tired because of this. He rewarded the frontier army with two million taels of silver from his inner treasury, exempted him from all mining taxes, and appointed many righteous ministers. He also changed the Yuan Taichang to prepare for the opening next year, but unexpectedly, he would never use this era name.
As early as the day of his accession to the throne, someone prepared a generous gift for Zhu Changluo: a large portion of pearl jade and eight pearl-like beauties. Where did this emperor, who had been frightened since he became the crown prince, have had such a good affair, so he smiled happily.
Zheng Guifei, the favorite concubine of Mingshenzong, lived in the Qianqing Palace at that time, and Zheng Guifei had a very close relationship with Li Xuanzhi, Zhu Changluo's favorite concubine, so it was suggested that Li Xuanzhi be named the queen, and Li Xuanzhi suggested that the imperial court should make Zheng Guifei the queen mother.
In less than half a month, on the day of Zhu Changluo's birthday on August 11, he was bedridden. According to the record in "The First Dial Zhishi", Zhu Changluo of Mingguangzong at that time "dozens of incidents a night, breaking out of the mattress".
The next day, the imperial physician Cui Wensheng asked for a pulse. Guangzong was supposed to indulge in hurting his body, but Cui Wensheng said that his kidneys were weak and prosperous, and he prescribed laxatives. The medicine offered by Cui Wensheng not only did not have a therapeutic effect, but aggravated the condition, which aroused strong dissatisfaction among the Donglin Party. It is believed that Zheng Guifei and Li Xuanzhi have ill intentions and plot to kill the emperor.
Eight days later, all the members of the cabinet came to the palace together with several nobles, plus Yang Lian, who was about to be entrusted, to accept the summons of the emperor and several princes. Zhu Changluo's kind words soothed Yang Lian and did not cure his crimes. When Fang Congzhe asked him about the medicine he had taken recently, Zhu Changluo sighed: "I haven't taken it for more than ten days." One sentence made everyone present tremble.
After another six days, the above-mentioned personnel were called again, and although Zhu Changluo was still in good spirits at this time, he no longer had a human form. He called the eldest son of the emperor to him and said to the ministers: "May you Aiqing assist him as the king of Yao Shun!" Asked how the mausoleum was arranged, the cabinet thought it was about the aftermath of the Divine Sect, and Zhu Changluo smiled bitterly: "I am talking about my future." β
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the palace immediately knelt down in unison, crying everywhere. Zhu Changluo waved his hand: "Don't cry, don't cry." I heard that Li Kezhuo, the Cheng of Honglu Temple, has a divine prescription to submit, and I will see it. Fang Congzhe replied: "Li Kezhuo said that it was an immortal party, and he didn't let the ministers see it." We suspected it was a god stick and ignored it. β
Zhu Changluo said: "I've become like this, do you still care if he's an immortal god?" Call him to the square. Fang Congzhe had no choice but to call Li Kezhuo, who was in his fifties and was just a temple. Li Kezhuo presented the recipe, Zhu Changluo called it "loyal minister", and then asked people to concoct it, it was a red pill.
Zhu Changluo felt very good after taking it, and soon took another one. That night, the Cabinet received news that the Holy Bow was improving, and it seemed to be a sign of improvement. However, the next day, the news of the emperor's death suddenly came from the Qianqing Palace, and the government and the opposition were shaken.
The ministers immediately rushed to the Qianqing Palace to ask to see the emperor for the last time, and the eunuchs closed the palace door tightly, until Yang Lian and others took the lead in slamming the door open. It is worth mentioning that at this time, there was still a living person living in the Qianqing Palace, and that person was Li Xuanshi.
The above is the whole process of the "Red Pill Case", although all the clues seem to point to the collusion between Zheng Guifei and Li Xuanzhi to murder Zhu Changluo, but there is no tangible evidence, so it is not possible to consolidate the charges of the two.
From a medical point of view, the "red pill" offered by Li Kezhuo is not poison. The main ingredients of this red pill are red lead, ginseng and other tonics. However, due to the previous medical error, Zhu Changluo had diarrhea at this time, and his body was extremely weak. Taking a large tonic at this time will not only not alleviate the condition, but will worsen the condition.
Strictly speaking, the emperors of the past dynasties were very strict about the drugs they took. Without going through layers of checks, he will not casually take the prescriptions offered by his courtiers. It stands to reason that such a low-level mistake should not be made.
Therefore, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty believed that the death of Ming Zhu Changluo was inseparable from Li Kezhuo's dedication to the "red pill". When investigating this, he did not expect that Congzhe, the first assistant of the cabinet, would use the name of Mingguangzong's edict to reward Li Kezhuo with 50 taels of silver, which made the Manchu officials in an uproar, especially the Donglin party members in the imperial court.
In the past, Cui Wensheng, who had served Zheng Guifei, offered "rhubarb medicine", and then Li Kezhuo offered "red pills", and the emperor died violently, and now he even has to reward the donor with silver taels, this series of operations can't help but make the Donglin party suspect that there is an ulterior secret behind the faction represented by Zheng Guifei Fuwang.
The Red Pill case in the Ming Dynasty, together with the palace removal case and the striking case, is known as the three major doubtful cases of the late Ming Dynasty. In 1620, that is, on July 21, the 48th year of Wanli, the Wanli Emperor died, and his son Zhu Changluo ascended the throne, which was later the Taichang Emperor. When he ascended the throne, he was still fine, but only ten days later, Zhu Changluo became ill.
If it is now the thirteenth year of Wanli, then the "Red Pill Case" has not happened at this time, and the current Wanli Emperor should still be diligent in power.
"You, young man...... What's wrong with you? β
Maybe I was stunned, the old woman asked with concern.
"Oh, it's okay! Probably a little tired......"
I quickly responded.
"My home is in Xuejia Village, not far from here, if ...... If the young man doesn't dislike it, follow me home for dinner, right? I...... I'll find you a piece of Zhiming's clothes, if you wear it like this, you will be seen by the people in the government, and I am afraid that you will be arrested as a spy. β
The young man also bared his teeth and looked enthusiastic.
"That's right! Go to my house and eat it - my mother's noodles are delicious! Join...... Even the red hairs that came recently said they were delicious? β
Red hair? What is it!
I was stunned again.
Besides, I need to figure out what's going on, right?
After walking a few hundred meters with the servants, and bypassing a dam slope, they saw a sparse village, and the three adobe houses on the edge belonged to the old man and his family.
The house was very simple, but it was very clean, and after putting down the things, the three of them got busy talking and laughing, the old man prepared the cooking utensils, the old lady poured water and noodles, and the young man went to the back of the house to carry a bundle of firewood.
I have 10,000 doubts in my heart, everything is like a dream, and the annoying thing is that the phone has entered the water and has automatically turned off.
"Alright! Young man, come and taste the noodles I made!! β
The old lady's soft voice pulled me back to reality.
"Ao-"
I'm actually really hungry! When I came back to my senses, I smelled a pungent fragrance.
There was a big pot of curved noodles on the table, and brown pasta sauce - just one glance, I laughed, this is not pasta!!
