The first time the history of the outline of the beginning of the clear meaning of the difficulty, take refuge as a monk

The country is unharmed, the earth is back in spring, the sun is warm and fragrant, the window is bright and clean, and the boy has been putting down his pen for more than a month. recalled last year's compilation of "Romance of Yuan History", which once described the junction of the Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty; After the frequent urging of the drums, everyone is inevitably a common practice: what to keep the year? What's the New Year? Therefore, the history of Yuan was explained clearly, and the city was put on a one-month vacation. Now that the time sequence has passed, the body is less idle, and the aftertaste of "The Romance of the Yuan History" is still in my mind, and the beginning of "The Romance of the Ming History" happens to be written from this point. Written lightly, full of interest. The lineage of the Yuan Dynasty was dominated by the Mongols; The lineage of the Ming Dynasty was dominated by the Han nationality. Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, came into being, expelled Emperor Yuan in a few years, unified China, although the political system is still a monarch, it can be regarded as a great revolutionary, a great builder. After that, there were 12 generations, 17 emperors, and there were six years of 270 in the calendar, how did it prosper? How to sheng? How to decay? How to die? There is a huge reason for this, and it is not a few sentences that can be said. The sages said: "The gentleman is long, the villain is eliminated, and the country will prosper; The gentleman disappears, the villain grows, and the country will decline. Although this sentence is ancient and modern, it is always an ordinary saying, and it cannot be used as a conclusive proof of the rise and fall of a generation.

The boy tasted the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and the situation of Yuan Taizu and Yuan Shizu, although different, but later from the rise and fall, from prosperity to death, but followed the five major mistakes of the Yuan Dynasty. Does the judge want to ask about these five major drawbacks? The first disadvantage is that flesh and blood fight each other; The second disadvantage is that there are multiple eunuchs; The third disadvantage is that traitors are rampant; The fourth disadvantage is that the palace is pampered; The fifth disadvantage is that the people are ruined. The cycle of these five evils is endless, which has been enough to lose vitality and overturn the country; There are also domestic party disputes, strong enemies abroad, glue and glue disturbance, the more chaotic and hot, barely supported for dozens of years, and finally got a complete defeat, the Ming ancestor created and operated a splendid country, handed over to the Manchus, said that it will rise, it is also sad and miserable. The outline is clear, and the eyes are directly focused on the whole book. Now that the Lord is abdicating, the Han nationality is recovering, feeling the vicissitudes of the world, and the rise and fall of the previous dynasty, although the national system is different, the chaos is related, and it is not far from each other. From afar to Hu Yuan, near to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is better to learn from the Ming Dynasty, so the Romance of the Yuan and Qing Dynasty histories, both compiled in turn, this "Romance of the Ming History", can not be stopped. In addition, the official history of the past dynasties has the most volumes, and in addition to the "History of the Song Dynasty", it is necessary to count the "History of the Ming Dynasty". If you want to read the 332 volumes of the "History of the Ming Dynasty" from beginning to end, it will take almost several years. Today's scholars, can have a few eyes without peeking into the garden, ten years of hard work, so that they purchased a "History of the Ming Dynasty", but also a library room, to make a look of reading history, where are you willing to read it carefully? It is not a sarcasm, but it is the truth of the day. What's more, as an official, a businessman, a farmer, or a worker, even doing things to make a living, he is still flawless, or he is illiterate, and he has no ink on his chest, how do he know to read the "History of the Ming Dynasty"? How do you know the gains and losses of the historical events of the Ming Dynasty? For the sake of popular education, the boy can't stop seeing it, so he writes a few lines today, compiles a few lines tomorrow, and after years of poverty, he compiles it into a "Romance of Ming History". It is appropriate to be detailed, and it is necessary to omit it, all the official history is not contained, and the anecdotes of the barnyard multiplication are all searched, and everything is heard, right and wrong, based on the public opinion, the original, and not trivial presentation. Don't get annoyed with the officials, the kid is going to talk about the main story. Explain the origin, it can be seen that this book cannot be left out, especially the book cannot be done.

But it shows that when Taizu rose, it was the time when the Yuan Dynasty was disturbed. At this time, thieves arose, rebellions were looking for each other, Huangyan people Fang Guozhen, raised troops in Taiwen, Yingzhou people Liu Futong, and Luancheng people Han Shantong, raised troops Ruying, Luotian people Xu Shouhui, raised troops Qi Huang, Dingyuan people Guo Zixing, raised troops Haoliang, Taizhou people Zhang Shicheng, raised troops Gaoyou, and Li Er, Peng Da, Zhao Jun used a group of grass cobs to attack Xuzhou, make disputes all over the world, and harass from all directions. The robbers of all parties have been seen in the "Romance of the Yuan History", so they have been described in a simple pen. The Yuan Dynasty sent generals to transfer troops, and they continued year after year, only Shantong was captured, and Li Er was expelled, which was regarded as the victory of the Yuan army, and the rest of the generals could not damage him at all, but it became rampant day by day. At that time, Emperor Yuan Shun was very mediocre, believed in the monks, and indulged in lewdness and pleasure every day. What secret precepts, also known as double cultivation methods, are detailed in the "Romance of the Yuan History". What is the Heavenly Demon Dance, building dragon boats, making palace leaks, thinking about things, and leaving military affairs behind; The virtuous man got rid of it, and he made a meritorious service, but he was dismissed from his post and filled the army, and his death was unknown; The brothers of Hama and Timur the Vulture, led to adultery, and obeyed their plans, and were so similar in their favor. In the dark, he angered the heavens, showing him all kinds of mutations, such as landslides, earthquakes, droughts, droughts, floods, overflows, and rain, blood, rain, drizzle, meteorites, and fires. I don't want to obey the emperor's evil, and the town is full of obscene monks and demon girls, and the mesmerizing sons, giving speeches on this joyful Zen, trying out the secret law, and the clouds and rain Wushan, but the day is insufficient. So the will of heaven died, the heroes competed for each other, and everyone had the idea of an emperor. Liu Futong was enshrined in Hanshan Boy Lin Er as the emperor, the country name was Song, and he had Bozhou; Xu Shouhui also proclaimed himself emperor, and the country name was Tianwan; Zhang Shicheng also assumed the name of King Cheng and established the country as Zhou. A group of grass warriors, all are arrogant, undisciplined, not worthy of the master of Zhao Jili extremely Fengtian carrier, so God chooses the truth, it just so happens that there is a strange person in Haozhou, the appearance is wonderful, the measure of Hongkuo, quite a human monarch, but secretly tried to bless, actually made him set things right, became the emperor of China, this person is not him, it is Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty. With the puppet as the son of heaven, it cannot be said that there is no providence. Recently, new scholars said that exclusive personnel and obliterating the way of heaven do not seem to be fully believed, so this paragraph is full of personnel and Tianxin.

Zhu Yuanzhang, whose name is Guorui, and whose father's name is Shizhen, migrated from Sizhou to Zhongli County, Haozhou, which is said to be the district where Han Zhongli became an immortal. Shizhen had four sons, the youngest being Yuanzhang. Yuan Zhang's mother Chen, when she was pregnant, the dream god gave a pill, put it in the palm, radiant, she swallowed it in her mouth according to the god's order, and the sweet fragrance was abnormal. and wake up, there is still a lingering fragrance in the teeth and cheeks. To be pregnant to term, about to give birth, suddenly saw the red light flashing, straight candle sky, near and far neighbors, the road is a fire alarm, all shouted for help, to his door, but can not see any light flames, looking back, still raging and unextinguished. The public was inexplicable, but only amazed. Later, I listened to Shizhen's family and gave birth to a child, which became more and more strange, saying that this baby is not an ordinary person, and it will definitely be excellent in the future. Discussing history should not be regarded as superstition. This year is the year of Wuchen of Yuan Wenzong, and the date of birth is the day of Ding Chou in September. Later generations speculated on numerology, saying that he was Chenxu Chouwei, and he had all four libraries, so he was the Son of Heaven, which was not a problem. However, when the water is drawn to wash the children, there is suddenly a red Luo floating in the river, Shizhen will take it as a child's clothes, so far the name is the red Luo Gang, whether it is true or false, there is no way to study in detail. In short, the place where Haojie was born, there must be a legend of origin, the kid is a Qing Ji person, not a Yuan Ji person, naturally according to the history of the statement, the official does not need to be suspicious.

Let's say that Zhu Shizhen gave birth to a son here, named Yuanzhang, with a burly appearance and strange bones, and is quite loved by his parents. But this Ning Xin'er, born in the world, either cries in the morning or cries at night, thinking that she is uneasy with the people. croaking and crying, his voice was unusually loud, and he was not particularly frightened by his father's day, even the neighbors who were adjacent to him were disturbed by his noise. Shizhen can not do anything, had to pray to the gods, but there happened to be a Huangjue Temple nearby, so he took the opportunity to pray, secretly wishing the gods to bless. It's strange to say, after praying to the gods, the baby is safe and stable, not like the strange cry of the past. Shizhen to the gods and Buddhas have spirits, is very grateful, and when Yuan Zhang is one year old, he rejoins Chen's hug into the temple, sets up sacrifices to reward God, and makes Yuan Zhang a disciple of Zen, and takes another Zen name, called Yuan Long. It is commonly called Ming Taizu as Zhu Yuanlong, which proves the official history, and does not say that it is doubtful, and it is doubtful to read this to get evidence. Time flies, the years go by, Yuan Zhang's body gradually grows up, and he feels majestic. Just because Shizhen's family, the index finger is getting more and more, and the cost is inevitably increasing, but it is difficult to make ends meet, relying on Shizhen alone, business to make a living, where can I support these few people? Eat two meals today, eat one meal tomorrow, endure hunger, delay the day, and have no choice but to order Uncle Zhong and Uncle Zhong's three sons, and serve as a helper, leaving only Yuanzhang at home. Yuanzhang has nothing to do, often to Huangjue Temple to play, the elders in the temple, love him smart and clever, the text is slightly instructed, he actually knows at a glance, familiar with the ear, to about ten years old, actually will be ancient and modern words, know more than half. If it weren't for the practice of the day, how would you understand the military aircraft and know the form of government? Shizhen thought that Yuanzhang was a child, and asked him to fend for himself, so he ordered him to graze cattle in the house. Lookout! Do you think this outstanding little hero, how can he bow his head and be a herdsman slave of others? At first, he was reluctant to obey his fate, but after repeated training by Shizhen, he had no choice but to go to Liu Daxiu's house and herd cattle to live. The cattle herded, fed by Yuanzhang, became fatter and stronger, and won the favor of the owner. The same can be said of the way of the herdsmen. As Yuan Zhang's nature is active, he competes with the village children every day, and he must be his own commander, and the children are not satisfied, and they are often beaten by him, so Liu Daxiu is afraid that he will cause trouble, but still ordered him to go home.

In the blink of an eye, it has been four years since Emperor Yuan Shun arrived, and the area of Haosi was full of famine and epidemic. Shizhen and his wife died one after another, the eldest brother Zhu Zhen died of the epidemic, and the family was so poor that there was no way to prepare a coffin, so they had to hastily bundle the corpses from Yuanzhang and Zhong Brother Zhu Bore. As soon as he reached the halfway, suddenly the black clouds were like ink, soaring steeply, the lightning flashed, the thunder rumbled, and the rain poured down one after another, as if the Milky Way was pouring down, surging straight down, the Yuanzhang brothers, full of wet, had to entrust the corpse to the ground, the right to avoid the village, who expected that the rain was endless, and it splashed wildly for a long time, and the party gradually stopped. Yuanzhang and the others hurriedly went to inspect, but saw that the body had been submerged in the soil, and the floating soil on both sides had accumulated, and it had become a high hill. At the moment, he consulted with his step-ancestors, and his step-ancestors were not surprised, thinking that since God was so strange, could it be that he had some origins, so it was better to act in accordance with the sky, and he was happy to be a great favor, so he gave this burial place away. In history, it is called Fengyang Mausoleum, and it is here. Don't forget the story. Brother Yuanzhang, naturally thanks. Uncle Zhong and his two brothers were infected with the epidemic and died together, leaving only two or three sisters-in-law and nephews. At this time, Yuanzhang was seventeen years old, seeing such a situation, suddenly felt depressed, hesitating day and night, tossing and turning, there was no way to run, it was better to put into the Huangjue Temple, shaved as a monk, but also to avoid a lot of hardship, the plan has been decided, and it is not enough to explain to the sister-in-law and nephew, but sneaked to the Huangjue Temple, worship the elders as teachers, and became monks. A few elders passed away, the monks in the temple, looked down on him, sometimes ringing the bell after dinner, sometimes closing the door to push the moon, poor young Zhu Yuanzhang, who was down, could not eat during the day, could not sleep at night, and almost did a barren ditch, died beside the road, and turned into reincarnation. Only when you suffer in the midst of suffering can you become a superior person.

At that time, Yuanzhang couldn't stand it, and wanted to mix it up again, dying more, living less, and had to survive in death, so he endured his anger and carried a quilt, held a bowl, traveled all over the world, raised food everywhere, crossed the water and climbed the mountain on the way, the meal was full of dew, and he couldn't tell the hardships of his feet. When I arrived at the boundary of Hefei, I suddenly felt cold and heat, my limbs were painful, and my body couldn't move, so I had to find a pavilion and have the right to stay. When I was in a coma, I felt that there were two people in purple, accompanied by the left and right, less thirsty, suddenly got raw pears beside me, less hungry, and suddenly got steamed cakes on the pillow. Suddenly refreshed, raised his head, looked for the purple-clothed man, and there was no shadow, only a rafter hut remained, three paths and pine wind, see "Ming History, Taizu Benji", not fabricated. He didn't have time to think about it, so he got up, packed up his quilt, and went to eat again. After passing through the Guanggu Ruying Prefectures, although he met a few donors, he looked up to others and couldn't do it day and night. After more than three years, he is still a bald monk, with no luggage outside the quilt and no long things outside the bowl. It is to return to Huangjue Temple by the road, but to see the dust silk cobwebs, covered with the hall, the incense is heavy, the meditation bed is lonely, and I can't help but be amazed. He picked a piece of land, put down his burden, and went out to visit his neighbors. It is said: "The robbers are everywhere, the people's livelihood is withering, there is no spare strength, there is no spare power, to support the stream, a group of monks who sit and eat on their hands, can not boil and suffer, so they all disperse." These words caused Yuan Zhang to sigh a lot. After passing through the neighbor Tanyue, because there was no one in the temple, he was left as the abbot temporarily, and Yuanzhang also had to get by, and lived in it for three or four years.

In the spring and February of the twelfth year of Zhengzheng, Guo Zixing, a native of Dingyuan, and Sun Deya, a party henchman, raised troops in Haozhou, and the Yuan general withdrew without spending, and was ordered to enter the discussion, afraid of not daring to attack, and the anti-Japanese prisoners and good people, and rewarded for their merits. So the people scattered, and the villages were in ruins. Although the Huangjue Temple is secluded, it is inevitable that the wind will be noisy, and the grass and trees are all soldiers. Yuan Zhang saw that most of the neighboring people's houses, except for the extreme poverty and the old and weak, mostly moved away, and he also felt panicked and pinched a cold sweat. If you want to stay, you are afraid of chaos, there is nowhere to raise food, and if you are not killed, you will starve to death; I want him to go, but I have nowhere to go, and I am a bald head, and the more I feel that I have nowhere to live. Thinking about it left and right, the dilemma is to enter the Garan Temple, burn incense, ask for a long trip first, it is unlucky; Re-questioning and retaining, and unlucky; I couldn't help but exclaim: "It's not good to go, it's not good to stay, what should I do?" Suddenly remembered that he was ill back then, and there seemed to be a purple-clothed man guarding him, so he couldn't help but be moved, and reverently bowed: "It's bad luck to go and stay, so it can't be a big deal!" "I threw the basket with my hand, and I got a good sign. Immediately jumped up and said, "The gods have shown me the way to go, what should I do if I still have to guard this monk's bowl?" So he threw the bowl aside, only carried a thin old quilt, strode out of the temple gate, and went straight to Haozhou. The boy just had a poem that said:

From a humble background, there is no injury, and there is no need to hide it.

Win the divine inspiration and teach Allah to come out of the beam.

If you want to know who Yuan Zhang voted for, and watch the next episode!

The first half of the narrative is the wedge of the whole book, which has shrouded a history of the Ming Dynasty; After entering the Yuan Ji decline and chaos situation, a few lines of it, it seems too simple, but in fact, the Yuan matter is prepared to see the Yuan history. This book is based on the history of the Ming Dynasty, and it should not be noisy. The second half of the Ming ancestor recounts the origin, writing about the embarrassing situation at that time, the heavens descend on the people, must first suffer their minds, work their muscles and bones, starve their body and skin, such as Ming ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang, as the sage said, not to try to speak, then the later generations are suspicious of the creation of the difficulty, and think that it is insignificant, who knows that there is such a hardship? If the pen is refreshing and healthy, the words are open-minded, especially moving, a blockbuster, and the author is good at it.
