Chapter 23 I see

Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao glanced around the basement while looking at the suffering girl.

Zhan Xiaoxiao first found the inscription on the wall on one side of the small pool, Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao looked like just now, groping back and forth with their hands. I wonder if they also want to repeat the scene of their hands holding hands just now. At least Qin Tai secretly glanced at Zhan Xiao while he was groping on the side.

At this time, Qin Tai's mood was very complicated, whether it was the strict teaching of his father and teacher since he was a child, or the instructions of his grandfather when he was studying medicine. Although good men became popular in the Ming Dynasty, it was immoral and hurt their bodies. Qin Tai had never thought that he would be interested in a man, and he thought about it so much. He knew that it was not good to do this, but Zhan Xiaoxiao was not only his subordinate, but also his friend and brother. But whenever Qin Tai saw Zhan Xiaoxiao, there was always a feeling that went beyond the scope of brothers. Especially the hand-to-hand shaking just now, Qin Tai was still so excited when he thought about it. At that time, I forgot the gender of the other party and the relationship between the other party and myself, and I knew that it was so comfortable and happy to hold each other's hands. Although there is a voice in my heart that reminds me from time to time not to sink any further, this will lead astray. Doing so will be sorry for the ancestors of the Qin family, and it will become a joke for colleagues. But he just couldn't control himself, and when he didn't want to be a case, he couldn't help but think about Zhan Xiaoxiao on the side. Zhan's little smile was in Qin Tai's eyes.

It's a pity that I didn't encounter what happened last time this time, and the words on this wall are not only obvious, but also really one by one.

Zhan Xiaoxiao said to Qin Tai: "My lord, I can read the words on this more clearly. I don't need to touch it to recognize it. You sit down, and I'll read it to you. "I read it out as I spoke. didn't know Qin Tai's disappointment and helplessness at this time. Qin Tai wanted to say something, but he held back and sat on the side to listen to Zhan Xiaoxiao read the words on it.

The writing on the wall was carved by a man named Liu Ji. He said that he himself was originally a petty official of the Yuan Dynasty, although being a local official could save the people. However, the Mongols not only divided the people into three, six, nine and other categories, and ranked the Mongols above the superior people, but the Han people, who had the largest number of people, were ranked in the position of the inferior people. Moreover, people of any race can treat Han people like animals, and they can also be killed at will. Some of the large families of the Han people were in precarious circumstances during the Yuan Dynasty, a group of Mongols robbed and left, and a group of Jurchen people came to rob, and all the women in the family, whether old or young, could hardly escape the poisonous hands of these barbarians. In the south, where there was originally a land of water and rice, people died almost every day, and there were funerals in every family. Many humiliated women either committed suicide or became monks, and at that time, there was a situation where temples were all over the Yangtze River. Liu Ji fought for the people many times and spoke for the people, but with a word from the Mongols, the angry Liu Ji threw down his official hat and left. "You are just a dog raised by us Mongolians, do you think you are qualified to negotiate terms with us Mongolians? Han dog. After Liu Ji left the officialdom, he became a reclusive getaway in his hometown.

After Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, raised troops, he recruited talents many times. A few people who knew that Liu Ji was talented in learning, thought that Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still King Wu at the time, recommended Liu Ji. Zhu Yuanzhang once sent people to invite Liu Ji again and again, but Liu Ji just didn't go out of the mountain. In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang followed the example of Liu Bei during the Three Kingdoms, and "looked at the thatched house three times" to invite Liu Ji out of the mountain. Liu Ji knew one thing at the time, Zhu Yuanzhang was not a good master, and if he refused again, Zhu Yuanzhang would really kill himself. Whether it's because he repeatedly doesn't give him face, or because he really has real learning but doesn't use it for him, he is against him. This can be a reason to kill himself, so Liu Ji arranged a scene after learning about it, accepted Dean Zhu's invitation as if he was in compliance with the will of heaven, and went down the mountain to Zhu Yuanzhang's military camp to be his military advisor.

Liu Ji was under Zhu Yuanzhang, a military advisor in wartime, and a local government in peacetime. If Zhu Yuanzhang can unify the world so quickly, Liu Ji's contribution is not small. When Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty and became Emperor Hongwu of Ming Taizu, Liu Ji was afraid that his position was too high to cause the dissatisfaction of the generals, and it caused Zhu Yuanzhang to be wary of himself. forced Zhu Yuanzhang to demote himself three levels in a row, becoming the lowest status among the heroes. It should have been a few years of stable life, not to mention, and far away from the political struggle on the cusp.

With the death of the Kaishan King Chang Yuchun and the discovery of the conspiracy and rebellion of the general Lan Yu, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, who had already been seriously wary of his original brothers and comrades-in-arms, finally raised his butcher knife to his old subordinates and comrades-in-arms. In just a few years, a large number of heroes were first deprived of the military power and management rights in their hands, and then one after another by the Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang's Jinyi guards found evidence, what foul use of prohibited items, what in private to say a few more whining words, etc., these things that were not originally a crime became their amulet. General Tang He is Zhu Yuanzhang's good brother who has been together since he worked together, and he is Zhu Yuanzhang's sworn brother. didn't just say a few whining words after drinking, but Zhu Yuanzhang said that he was demagoguery. ordered Tang He's house to be raided, and Tang He was flailed for a month, and a good man was flailed to death. This kind of thing is an accident one by two, and everyone knows that it is their boss, and the emperor is going to do it to them.

Many generals who knew Liu Ji came to Liu Ji and asked Liu Ji to do a good job for them. But Liu Ji himself was also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it was difficult to protect himself, so everyone had to leave separately. Some ministers who thought they were smart took the initiative to ask to go home for their old age. Zhu Yuanzhang's answer is that if you want to retire, you can retire in Nanjing. He, the emperor, can afford to support them and is willing to provide for them in their old age. Of course, since you want to provide for the elderly, you must have a pension look, and everyone resigns from their current positions and goes to a place to concentrate on the elderly. Isn't this a disguised way to keep them in check?

Liu Ji was ready to say goodbye and leave the world with his family. But one thing changed Liu Ji's mind, so that he didn't dare to act rashly anymore. Among all the heroes of the Ming Dynasty, who has the greatest credit? Everyone will tell you that it is the generalissimo Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan. Xu Da made great contributions to the establishment of the Ming Dynasty. If Zhu Yuanzhang can be the emperor, the person who should be thanked the most is definitely Xu Da. Whether it is the generals or officials of the imperial court, or even the common people of the whole country, they all think that it is not too much for Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang to give half of the country to Xu Da. But Zhu Yuanzhang is becoming more and more uneasy about this old comrade-in-arms and old brother. On many occasions, on the grounds that there was no major battle in the country, Xu Da's military power was reduced. Xu Da endured it again and again, and finally simply recuperated at home. After years of fighting, he was covered in pain, and recently developed a back sore the size of a fist. Many doctors said that it was a sore and that it was strictly forbidden to eat glutinous rice, goose meat and other hair products. Zhu Yuanzhang obviously knew about this, but he ordered the imperial dining room of the palace to choose the largest goose and send it to the Zhongshan Palace. Xu Da held the goose in the hospital bed, and after saying "Thank you, the emperor", he ate the whole steamed goose in front of Taimi. He wept as he ate, and he couldn't even stand the eunuchs and brocade guards who were watching him. Such a great hero of the founding of the country ate the goose so hard, and there was nothing left to eat. That night, Xu Da had an attack on his back, and he heard that the sores were poisonous, and he died that night.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even let Xu Da go, how could he let Liu Ji go? For the sake of himself and his family, Liu Ji finally came up with a plan that was not a scheme. He took advantage of Zhu Yuanzhang's belief in ghosts and gods and hoped that his children and grandchildren would always sit in the world, and arranged a scene. used some tricks to trick Zhu Yuanzhang into seeing two heirs to the throne. Zhu Yuanzhang was already very troubled about who would inherit the throne, so he thought of Liu Ji to come and take a look. didn't expect his thoughts to manifest in Liu Ji's home. For the sake of his own future and his own country, Zhu Yuanzhang decided not to kill Liu Ji for the time being. Liu Ji thought that he really knew how to tell fortunes, and said that the true dragon son of heaven would be fulfilled tomorrow morning.

Zhu Yuanzhang actually hopes that his eldest grandson Zhu Yunwen will be the future emperor, but his fourth son Zhu Di is too much like himself, and he is afraid that Zhu Di will hurt Zhu Yunwen in the future. Liu Ji used that night to coax Zhu Yunwen to come to the palace early tomorrow morning. never expected that at this time, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, also asked to see him in the palace, and these two people appeared in no particular order. Zhu Yuanzhang decided to protect his grandson but not his son, and wanted Zhu Yunwen instead of Zhu Di. But providence is like this, Zhu Di escaped assassination three times. Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to find Liu Ji again, and Liu Ji exchanged his freedom for the last time to help Zhu Yuanzhang.

Liu Ji inadvertently discovered Xiaoyue Village many years ago, so he secretly paid attention to it. Prepare to hide in this Satsuki village when you encounter danger in the future. The idea he came up with for Zhu Yuanzhang was to open the brocade box sealed by Liu Ji when the next emperor was in danger. There are three things in the brocade box, the first of which is a few degrees, asking the emperor of later generations to pretend to be a monk and leave the city of Nanjing. The second is a drawing of a secret passage in the palace built by Zhu Yuanzhang. This secret passage is now only known to Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and overseer Liu Ji. In case of danger, the emperor of later generations could leave the palace through this secret passage. The third piece is the map of Satsuki Village. That is, the three maps painted on the movable wall outside.

Liu Ji promised Zhu Yuanzhang to make all preparations in Xiaoyue Village, first drive out the original villagers, and then build an independent house in the village, with a secret passage mechanism in the house, and dig another basement inside. Hide the treasure that Zhu Yuanzhang handed over to Liu Ji inside. Originally, it was said that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to come to inspect, but Liu Ji was afraid that he would die if he finished it, so he changed the progress of the project without authorization and simplified some irrelevant places. After completing it a year ahead of schedule, according to Zhu Yuanzhang's intentions, he would have killed all the insiders. But Liu Ji couldn't do it, so he put a kind of medicine in their wine and food to lose their memory, and everyone became idiots. After arranging them, Liu Ji came and said goodbye, and wrote these inconspicuous words on the wall before leaving. Unexpectedly, many years later, because of the water in the small pond, the words on the wall stand out, and people can find them at will.

Qin Tai listened to Zhanxiao's words, and the excitement in his heart was speechless. Who is Liu Ji? Zhan Xiaoxiao may not know, but Qin Tai is familiar with it. Liu Ji is his name, but he has an even louder name called Liu Bowen. He is the only god Liu Bowen who can stand side by side with Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms period in ancient times. It is said that he can pinch and calculate, know astronomy, know geography, know everything, know everything. In the folk bookstore, the storyteller has mythologized him. The storyteller even called Liu Bowen and Zhuge Liang, as well as Jiang Taigong, the three saints, making up stories and telling stories to make money. I didn't expect everything here to be from his masterpiece.
