Chapter 68: Change

Another month passed, Zhou Tianle fell into entanglement again, confused, self-blame, struggling, and even stopped suddenly when running, and kept hating himself: why is my perseverance so poor, why can't I even persist in fifty squats a day, why can't I even do fifty push-ups a day, why can't I even hold on to running, twenty-four hours a day, three kilometers, push-ups, and squats can be done in half an hour, why are I not willing to spend one-forty-eighth of a day doing this. Why am I so depraved and so unmotivated? If you say anything about taking care of your parents, you are just talking about it, and you can't do it at all. I'm not a good man, I'm still a useless person, it's because of my own insistence that I killed Shuxin, do I have to sink forever?

Change! Change! Change! I'm going to change!

Zhou Tianle lay on the bed and once again told himself to start changing from tomorrow when he opened his eyes. Let's start by changing the relationship with Youda, everyone lives under one roof, looking down and not looking up, and no one is comfortable with the estrangement.

Zhou Tianle suddenly took the initiative to talk to You Da, which made You Da feel a little uncomfortable, he felt that the relationship between himself and Zhou Tianle was like this, and he didn't care about each other until he graduated. Ai Xuexue was very happy and proposed that everyone get together in the evening and have a good talk.

After three rounds of drinking, Ai Xue and You Da found that Zhou Tianle had changed a lot, there was basically no smile on his face, and there were few words, basically a chat mode where you asked him to answer, and he didn't ask or say to bow his head to eat.

"We haven't been like this for a long time," Ai said.

You Da said: "It's almost graduation, and everyone has their own thoughts."

Zhou Tianle didn't talk, just ate and drank, and when he saw Ai Xuexue and You Da staring at him, he put down the dishes and chopsticks and took a sip of wine and said: "Don't look at me like this, the matter has already passed, even if Dazi doesn't tell me something comfortable, I will know sooner or later, I want to get my graduation certificate smoothly and leave this place now."

Ai Xuexue asked, "After graduation, where do you want to go?"

Zhou Tianle still said the same thing: "Go to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou."

"Last year's financial crisis left many people unemployed, and now it's not easy to find a better job," Ai said.

Zhou Tianle said: "I just want to look around."

At this time, it was changed to You Da who was silent and eating, and Ai Xuexue asked You Da again: "Dazi, what happened to you recently?"

Zhou Tianle also followed: "After the New Year, you seem to have encountered something unpleasant."

You Da said: "I went to their house during the Chinese New Year, and I learned that Juntong's family is a real estate tycoon, a daughter. Her mother didn't like me and let us break up, and Juntong had a fight with her mother. ”

Ai Xue said, "Really? I can't see it at all, I thought she was a girl from an ordinary family. ”

"I thought so at first, but this year we discussed meeting our parents," You said.

Zhou Tianle said: "Are you serious this time? I thought that after graduation, you would dump Chen Juntong as before. ”

Ai Xuexue also added: "I think so too."

You Da said: "We have been brothers for almost four years, and even you see me like this, you really don't know me at all. In the past, with other girls, I broke up only when I was sure that they were not suitable for each other, and I didn't take advantage of them at all, I just wanted to find my other half in the vast sea of people. Chen Juntong and I met when we were volunteering together, I really like her, we have been together for a long time, there is no estrangement at all, it is through this year and a half of communication that we plan to meet both parents, and now we only see her parents, her mother does not let her go out, does not let her see my parents and let us break off the relationship. ”

Ai Xuexue asked, "Then what are your plans?"

You Da was silent for a moment and then said, "I don't know, I don't want to give up like this."

When Zhou Tianle heard this, a sentence flashed in his mind, choosing the beginning is choosing to persevere, Dazi did it, and I failed. Even if Dazi and Chen Juntong didn't get together in the end, at least they all worked hard and persevered, and I became a joke.

When ordering, Zhou Tianle specially ordered a fish that he didn't like to eat, he gave the fish to "Luzi", the three of them sat to eat, and Luzi squatted to eat.

Ai Xuexue looked at the cat and said, "Tianle, your puppy is getting fatter and fatter."

Zhou Tianle also looked at the cat and said, "What do you think is the difference between it and before?"

Ai Xue and You Da stared at the cat and said, "Except that it is fatter than before, there is no difference."

Zhou Tianle said: "This is not the cat I used to have, it is not called a puppy, it is called a green child." They are twins, exactly the same, I and Shu Xin are one by one, the puppy has been killed by me, and now only Midoriko is left, and I am as lonely as me. ”

After Zhou Tianle finished speaking, the three of them were silent at the same time, Zhou Tianle also realized that it was because he mentioned Shu Xin and death, they had nothing to say, this silence made people very uncomfortable, Zhou Tianle wanted to break the silence and asked Ai Xuexue: "Cow, tell me about you, what are the arrangements after graduation?"

Ai Xuexue said: "I have preliminarily decided to take the postgraduate examination, I have discussed it with Tie Nan, and she also has plans to take the postgraduate examination."

Zhou Tianle felt uncomfortable for a while, they are all together, but me, I have nothing to do, I can't do anything, more than 20 years of education have not cultivated me into a talent, is it my problem or the problem of education?

Zhou Tianle said: "Dazi wants to be with Chen Juntong, the cow wants to be with Yuan Tienan, to be honest, I envy you, I don't know what I want to do, what I can do, you are all my brothers, I am not afraid of your jokes, I really feel very confused and powerless, maybe I used to live a life of worry-free food and clothing, now I have grown up and graduated, and I don't know how to step into society for a while, how to survive in society, and now I feel like I am still messing around every day."

You Da said: "Now the people who fall in love are students, adults have no time to fall in love, they are overwhelmed by the pressure of life, and the final marriage can undoubtedly only take the blind date, first get married and then fall in love." When I fell in love in college, I had time, I was young, I attracted opposites, and I had no worries about food and clothing, and the money for eating, drinking, and Lazar was provided by my parents. But when you leave school, you will face all kinds of pressures of employment, work, and life, who will have the time and energy to think about the marriage and love of men and women. ”

Ai Xuexue said: "Tianle, when you feel that time flies quickly, what you do is what you like."

Zhou Tianle smiled bitterly and said, "Sleep, I only feel that time flies quickly when I sleep."

You Da said, "What about eating, drinking, and sleeping?"

Zhou Tianle thought for a while and said: "When I read a book, sometimes it's very uncomfortable, and sometimes I feel that the day will pass quickly."

You Da said: "I believe that there must be other things not only to read, if you are tired and uncomfortable, go out and take a look and take a break."

Ai Xuexue said: "Yes, the combination of work and rest, twice the result with half the effort."

This night, Zhou Tianle couldn't sleep, his mind was very messy, and he simply focused his attention on history:

Yuan

Temujin founded the Great Mongol State in 1206 A.D., and since then has launched many wars of conquest to conquer the Black Sea coasts of Central Asia and Eastern Europe. When Genghis Khan concentrated all his efforts on attacking gold, he died of illness in August 1227 at the foot of Liupan Mountain in Qingshui County, at the age of 66.

Genghis Khan's wife, Sonthe, had four sons: the eldest son, Jochi, the second son, Chagatai, the third son, Ogedei, and the youngest son, Tuolei. After the death of Genghis Khan, his third son, Wo Kotai, succeeded to the throne and supervised the country. Continuing his father's legacy, Ogedai expanded his territory to the south to destroy the Jin Dynasty and sent Batu on expeditions to Europe, during which he expanded his territory to Central Asia, North China, and Eastern Europe. Wokotai himself was a drunkard, and in his later years, he was even more indulgent in wine, and every drink would be kept up all night. Yelu Chucai's repeated exhortations were useless. In February 1242, when he returned from a safari, he drank a few more cups and fell ill. After a slight improvement, he went out hunting again in November of the same year, and after five days of riding and shooting, he watched singing and dancing in the tent, got close to the singers, and drank fine wine. The guards visited the next day and found that Ogedai had suffered a stroke and could not speak, and died in the hall soon after. He was 56 years old and reigned for 13 years.

Wokotai died, and Guiyou was on his way to the west, so Empress Naima Zhen summoned the prime minister Yelu Chucai to discuss the appointment of her son as Khan. It turned out that during the reign of Wokotai, he did not like the eldest son Guiyou, and wanted to set up the third son Kuo as Khan, but Kuo died in 1236 when the Mongols invaded the Song Dynasty, and Wo Kotai wanted to set up Kuo's eldest son Liemen as the heir, but before he could make an edict, Wokotai suddenly died of illness in the hunt. During her five-year reign, Empress Naimajin rewarded the clan and ministers indiscriminately in order to give her son Daiso the conditions for inheriting the throne of the Khan, so as to gain their support. After Guiyou ascended the throne, Naima Zhenhou continued to interfere in political affairs, and a few months later, Naima Zhenhou died, and Guiyou was pro-government. In the autumn of 1248, Guiyou went west to conquer Batu. In March of the same year, the frail and sickly Guiyou suddenly deteriorated and passed away with his eyes closed at the age of 43, less than two years in power. After that, the Khan position was transferred to the Tomine series.

In July 1251 AD, the ministers of the king of the sect jointly supported Meng Ge to ascend the throne, after Meng Ge ascended the throne, the kings of the Wo Kotai system refused to recognize, and later led the troops to suppress, and then led the military and political affairs of the southern Han land with his younger brother Kublai Khan. In June 1252, he ordered his younger brother Kublai Khan to conquer Dali in the south. In January 1254, Kublai Khan conquered the city of Dali, King Duan Xingzhi surrendered, and the kingdom of Dali was destroyed. Duan Xingzhi went to Mobei to meet Meng Ge, and was appointed by Meng Ge as the head of Dali, and his descendants are hereditary. In the seventh lunar month of 1258 AD, Meng Ge personally led the main force to attack Sichuan, and was invincible all the way. At the beginning of 1259 AD, the offensive under the Diaoyu City of Hezhou was blocked, and he was seriously wounded by an arrow and died.

In 1260 A.D., Kublai Khan became Khan in Kaiping and began to date according to the traditional Chinese dynastic name. In 1271 AD, the Yuan Dynasty was established, and then went south to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty and unify the country. However, Kublai Khan sent troops on a series of expeditions to Japan, Annam, Champang, Burma and Java, all of which failed. Kublai Khan's wife, Chabi, died before him in 1281 AD, and his chosen heir, Zhenjin, died five years later. Perhaps stimulated by these personal tragedies, Kublai Khan began to drink heavily and overeat without restraint. He rapidly gained weight, became increasingly obese, and was tormented by illnesses caused by alcoholism. At the same time, some of his policies failed, and on February 18, 1294, Kublai Khan died of illness in Dadu at the age of seventy-nine.

Timur was the third son of the crown prince Zhenjin, the grandson of Kublai Khan, and ascended the throne with the support of his mother Kuokuozhen and his minister Boyan. During Timur's reign, he stopped foreign wars, dismissed Japan and Annam, and concentrated on rectifying the domestic military and government. Measures such as restricting the power of the kings, reducing or reducing some taxes, and making new laws and decrees were adopted to temporarily ease social contradictions. At the same time, troops were sent to defeat the rebel kings in the northwest, such as Haidu and Duwa, and Duwa and Chaba'er were annexed, which changed the situation of long-term turmoil in the northwest. During his reign, he basically maintained a conservative situation, but indiscriminately increased rewards, and his income was not enough to make ends meet, and the treasury was short of resources. In his later years, he fell ill and appointed Empress Buruhan and the ministers of the Semu people, and the government gradually declined. He died in 1307 A.D., and Timur had no successor, burying the hidden danger of the battle for the throne in the middle of the Yuan Dynasty.

Haishan is the nephew of Timur, and his younger brother is Renzong Aiyu Li Bali Bada. With Timur in vain, Ayurli Bali Bada staged a coup d'Γ©tat, eliminating the Empress Chengzong of Boyuewu Buruhan and the Ananda King of Anxi whom she was trying to proclaim, while Haishan led his army south from Mobei to obtain the right to inherit the throne and ascend to Shangdu. In return, he canonized Aiyuli Bali Bada as crown prince. Haishan reigned for less than four years, but he implemented many reforms. In addition to Zhongshu Province, he established a Shangshu Province, built the Yuan Zhongdu, implemented financial policies, issued "Zhida Silver Banknotes" and "Zhida Tongbao", strengthened shipping, and increased taxation. Culturally, while advocating Tibetan Buddhism, he continued the policy of religious freedom, and crowned Confucius as the "King of Dacheng Most Holy Wenxuan". At the beginning of 1311, Haishan died in Dadu, and was succeeded by the crown prince Aiyuli Bali Bada. When Yuan Wuzong named him the emperor's younger brother, he met with his brother and his brother, and his uncle and nephew passed it on from one to another. During his reign, he reduced redundant personnel, rectified the government, and implemented the policy of "governing the country with Confucianism". He reigned for nine years, and after his death, he did not pass on the throne to the son of Wuzong and Shiju, but to his son Yuan Yingzong Shuode Bara.

Yuan Yingzong's son was 17 years old when he ascended the throne in March 1320. Yuan Yingzong was influenced by Confucianism since childhood, and after ascending the throne, he implemented the policy of "governing the country with Confucianism", and implemented some new policies, such as cutting redundant officials, supervising the illegal behavior of officials, promulgating new laws, and adopting the "auxiliary service law" to reduce the burden of errand labor on the people. In August 1323, Yuan Yingzong and Yuan Yingzong were assassinated by Tie Dieer's righteous son Tie Shi and others on the way back to Dadu in the north, which is known as the "Nanpo Change" in history. Yuan Yingzong reigned for four years and died at the age of twenty.

He is the great-grandson of Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, inherited the title of King of Jin from his father in his early years, and guarded Mobei, 1 Yuan Yingzong was killed after the change of the southern slope, and the grandson of the King of Jin, Temur, was proclaimed as the emperor and changed the Yuan to "Taiding". During his reign, there were no major political changes, and the country was generally stable, but the Yuan dynasty had entered an eventful period. In 1328, Yesun Temur died, and after his death, a struggle for the throne ensued, and his nephew Tutimur (Yuan Wenzong) seized the throne of his son Asujiba. He was proclaimed emperor by the powerful ministers, and confronted the Yuanwenzong Tutimur of Dadu and started a battle between the two capitals. A month later, the Shangdu side was defeated, and Asujihachi was killed.

Yuan Wenzong only Jin Tutimur reigned twice for a total of four years, Yuan Wenzong grew up in the Han Dynasty since childhood, has a good cultural accomplishment, in 1329 A.D. in the capital to create Kuizhang Pavilion, ordered Confucian ministers to enter the book of scripture and history, test the gains and losses of the emperors of the past dynasties, imitate the Tang and Song Dynasty will be styled, compile and revise the "Jingshi Canon", sort out and preserve a large number of Yuan Dynasty classics. Advocate respect for Confucius, seal Confucius's parents and later generations of famous Confucianism, and worship the southern suburbs in accordance with Confucian etiquette. During the reign of Yuan Wenzong, Yan Timur was a monopoly on the government, extravagant, and the rule of officials gradually became corrupt. In January 1329 A.D. in the north of Helin ascended the throne, is the abdication of Wenzong of the Yuan Dynasty, and the Erjin Yan Timur went to meet, he reigned for 29 days after a violent death, Wenzong reinstated the throne.

In September 1332, Yuan Wenzong died of illness. After Wenzong's death, Yan Timur, who controlled the government, in order to continue his autocratic power, asked Empress Wenzong of Yuan to appoint her son Gu Thorn Dana as emperor. Bu Ta Li refused. In October 1332, Empress Bu Da Lili was edicted by Wenzong to support the 7-year-old Yi Xuan Zhiban to ascend the throne for Yuan Ningzong. In December 1332, Yuan Ningzong died of illness in Dadu at the age of 7, and after reigning for only 53 days, Empress Bu Ta Li became the de facto ruler of the Yuan Dynasty.

Yuan Huizong was the eldest brother of Yuan Ningzong, the last emperor of the Yuan Dynasty and the first emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. After the death of Yuanningzong one after another, Tu Timur was ordered by the Empress Dowager to welcome back, and was located in Shangdu in June 1333 AD. In 1340 A.D., Timur overthrew the powerful minister Boyan and became pro-government. In the early days of his pro-government, he was diligent in political affairs, appointed Totoku and others, and adopted a series of reform measures to save the Yuan Dynasty from the crisis of rule, but failed to fundamentally solve the long-standing social problems, and a peasant revolt broke out in 1351 AD. In the later period, he gradually neglected his government, indulged in pleasures, and the Yuan court continued to fight infighting, and the external people changed one after another, and he could not effectively control the political situation. In the first month of 1368 AD, Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor and his country name was Daming. The Ming army marched forward and was unstoppable, attacking Dadu, and the Yuan Dynasty was destroyed. In 1370 A.D., Timur died in Yingchang at the age of fifty-one.

After his death, the eldest son, Erjin Aiyou, succeeded to the throne, and soon after the Ming army broke Yingchang, he fled to Helin. During his reign, he tried to revive the Yuan Dynasty and re-establish Timur (Wang Baobao) to repel the Ming army's northern invasions, but he could not restore the Central Plains, forming a situation of confrontation between the north and the south. He died in April 1378. After his death, his son Timur succeeded to the throne, he was repeatedly attacked by the Ming Dynasty during his reign, and finally was defeated by the Ming army in Yuerhai (now Inner Mongolia Bear Lake), and when he fled, he was killed by the descendants of Ali Buge, the brother of Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, and in 1388 AD, the Northern Yuan Dynasty perished.
