If it weren't for the development plans of Sichuan and Guangxi, Zhao Han would certainly not have known that opium was popular among the upper circles of Nanjing.

Not just hundreds, but more than 1,300!

The officials of the Hanlin Academy and the Qintian Academy have already fallen by a quarter. I can't tell who started the trend, anyway, they all regard opium as a good thing, and when they are tired and sleepy, they come to take a few sips to relieve their fatigue and refresh themselves.

Even Xiao Shizhong, the dean of the Qintian Academy, the leading mathematician of the Datong New Dynasty, and the former crush of the younger sister Zhao Zhenfang, have become loyal fans of opium.

"What are you doing touching that thing?" Zhao Han was heartbroken.

Xiao Shizhong was incomprehensible: "Your Majesty, why can't you smoke Fushou ointment?" The two formulas that Chen deduced this year are all inspired by smoking Fushou ointment. ”

Zhao Han could only explain intimidatingly: "This is a poison, if you take it for a long time, your internal organs will rot, your mind will be dizzy, and your teeth will fall out." And the longer you smoke, the harder it is to quit, and in the end, you have to take it even if you know it's a drug. ”

Xiao Shizhong was skeptical about this, and always felt that the emperor was alarmist.

Zhao Han asked, "How did you suck it?" ”

Xiao Shizhong replied: "This spring, I was tired of studying mathematics. One of his subordinates sent Fushou ointment, saying that this thing could relieve difficulties and fatigue. After the minister smoked it, many people in the Qintian Courtyard thought it was a good thing. ”

Zhao Han can't blame, those who don't know are not guilty.

Until World War I, Europe and the United States still regarded drugs as good medicine, and during World War II, synthetic drugs were listed as military materials. The same is true for radioactive elements, because science is fashionable, and even baby products are advertised as containing radioactive elements.

Fortunately, opium is very expensive and has not been spread among civilians for the time being, which is very convenient for the government to investigate and arrest.

Basically, if you catch one, you can bring out a circle.

They can't deny it, and if they are thrown into prison for two days, the addicts will definitely go crazy and scream.

Zhao Han said to Xiao Shizhong: "You are temporarily suspended, and you will quit the blessing of longevity." If he can't quit, not only will he not be able to continue to serve as the dean of Qintian, but he will not be allowed to study mathematics from tonight onwards. ”

Xiao Shizhong exclaimed: "Your Majesty, if you don't want to be an official, why can't you study mathematics anymore?" ”

Zhao Han couldn't help laughing and said: "Don't think about Yang Feng Yin and disobey you, imprison you all the time, don't give you paper and pen, and see how you do research!" Of course, this time is the exception. You should quit well in prison, and while you quit the blessing and longevity ointment, you can do learning at the same time. ”

There are so many people who plead, and Li Kefa, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, personally came to plead for his son.

He didn't dare to disobey Zhao Han's will, so he just wanted to take his son home and let his family take care of him and slowly quit it.

Zhao Han said directly: "You can take your son home, and let's talk about it after you resign." By the way, you can go to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and see why I forbid to smoke Fushou ointment. ”

Resigned?

Li Kefa was so frightened that he immediately shut up, and was taken to the prison of the Criminal Department by the guards.

In just a few days, there are more than 1,000 people here. The cells were all crammed, there were no single rooms, and even the double rooms were not to be considered, twenty or thirty people were crowded with one number.

"Please, give me a bite!"

"Let me out, let me out!"

"I'm going to die, untie me quickly, I'm going to commit suicide by hitting the wall!"

“……”

When Li Kefa came to the area where the addicts were held, he was immediately shocked.

Hundreds of people were addicted to drugs, crying and screaming. They were tied hand and foot, and they were so uncomfortable that they rolled all over the floor, and some even had incontinence.

"Li Shilang, Ling Gongzi is inside." The jailer said, pointing to a cell.

Li Kefa recognized it for a long time before he recognized who his son was.

Li Zhun and his good friend Fei Ruyu are locked up together, and both of them are in a state of drug addiction. Fei Ruyi's voice was hoarse, and his face was full of tears and snot, still writhing and twisting there. Li Zhun shrank in the corner of the wall and kept hitting the wall with his head, but he was lying on the ground with his hands and feet tied, and the force of hitting the wall could knock him unconscious at most.

Li Kefa turned to look at the other cells again, this situation was everywhere, and he was suddenly cold: "This ghost is also, A Hibiscus fruit is a harmful thing!" ”

Not long after, the officials of the Cabinet, the Ten Cao, and the Ten Ministries were brought in by the jailers in batches to observe.

They couldn't understand Zhao Han's policy, so they were thrown by the emperor en masse.

Li Banghua was silently beside him, and left silently. Not only did he understand, but he also went home that night, called all his wives and concubines, and said sternly: "In the future, whoever dares to smoke A Hibiscus and Fushou ointment, regardless of the reason, will be immediately expelled from the door wall, or will not be allowed to enter the family tree, and will not be able to enter the ancestral hall if he dies." I immediately wrote back to Jiangxi, and the descendants of the Li family will follow this rule. Family law and family rules should also be added to this article! ”

The great Confucian Zhang Pu is a special case, and he lives in a single room in the prison of the Criminal Department, and allows domestic servants to bring medicine every day.

Zhang Pu was ill all the year round, and occasionally smoked opium, feeling that it could relieve the pain, so he gradually became addicted.

When he was first arrested and put in prison, Zhang Pu was indignant, believing that this was an insult to him.

But when he saw the situation in prison, Zhang Pu instantly understood the emperor's intentions. He offered to tie himself up, sit cross-legged in the corner, and silently recite various saintly texts. After the seizure, he gritted his teeth and endured, rolling and yelling as much as he could.

Even, Zhang Pu began to use the cultivation method of the Yang Ming Xinxue Returning to Silence School, and seriously thought about the moral conscience of heaven before and after the onset of drug addiction.

The physical and mental pain, and the screams around him, have all become firewood for cultivation.

In only two months, Zhang Pu was released from prison, and this gentleman is really resolute. Moreover, his learning changed from specializing in science to the combination of mind and science, and when he got old, he had a great change in thinking.

More than 1,000 addicts have successfully detoxified one after another.

Those who didn't succeed are either still locked up or already dead!

Seven people died suddenly in the prison of the Criminal Department because of drug addiction, and their families could only do funerals, and no one dared to come to make trouble with Zhao Han.

Qian Qianyi held the mentality of watching jokes, and specially held a literary meeting to wash the dust for Zhang Pu, who was released from prison.

Zhang Pu happily went to the appointment, and after everyone arrived, he actually asked with a smile: "Such an elegant literary meeting, why didn't you prepare Fushou ointment?" ”

The crowd was horrified.

A bachelor of the Hanlin Academy said: "Don't you dare to have such a harmful person, if the government knows, not only will your career be cut off, but even your children and grandchildren will not be allowed to be officials." ”

"Hahahaha!" Zhang Pu laughed heartily.

Qian Qianyi teased: "Ximing has been sitting as a boss for two months, but unexpectedly, his spirit has improved, and even his previous stubborn illness has been cured. ”

Zhang Pu waved his hand: "The stubborn disease is still there, and it will definitely recur after winter." ”

Qian Qianyi felt that it was so boring, Zhang Pu was calm, so he couldn't use this matter to make fun of him.

Zhang Pu said: "A hibiscus is also highly poisonous." The poison enters the viscera and mind without knowing it, and the poison attacks as if you are about to die, and you must never try that poison again. However, there are many times of alternating death and life, and the old man realizes 'silence', and he gains something in the silence. ”

"Silence" comes from "Yi Chuan": easy to think, inaction, silence and immobility, and the feeling leads to the world.

From the Qin and Han dynasties to the Yangming Mind, there was a "Returning to Silence School", and their core idea was "Conscience and Silence".

Although the Qing Dynasty cut off the study of the mind, the cultivation method of the Mind Returning to the Silence School was incorporated into the self-cultivation system of the Qing Dynasty. I didn't understand a few self-cultivation, but only cultivated a large number of Taoists, and Zeng Guofan and others were representatives.

Next, Zhang Pu began to tell his feelings in prison and began to talk about his virtual loneliness.

The more Qian Qianyi listened, the more bored he felt, and he only regarded Zhang Pu as a magic stick, and immediately changed the topic and said: "We are all Hanlin officials, and we have already compiled "Datong Zhengyin" and "Datong Dictionary". He also assisted the Ministry of Rites in compiling the "Chinese Textbook for Datong Primary School" and "Chinese Textbook for Datong Middle School". Now there is nothing to do, so I can only revise the history by myself, so it is better to jointly ask His Majesty to edit the "History of the Ming Dynasty". ”

Zhang Pu said angrily: "Beijing is in the hands of the thief Li Zicheng, and the records of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty are all in the Forbidden City in Beijing." Without actual records and historical manuscripts, can we make them up out of thin air? ”

Qian Qianyi said: "I ask Your Majesty to send troops to recover Beijing next year." Even if His Majesty does not allow it, he can first determine the temple number and the name of the temple to Emperor Chongzhen of the former Ming Dynasty. ”

"That's okay," Zhang Pu nodded and said, "Beijing has not been restored, and Emperor Chongzhen's temple number and nickname are still unresolved, and it will not be unorthodox to drag on like this." ”

Hou Sui was also thrown to the Hanlin Academy as a bachelor, and he proposed: "I can first take out some temple numbers and nicknames and hand them over to His Majesty for decision." ”

After some discussion, everyone took out more than a dozen temple numbers and nicknames, and Qian Qianyi and Zhang Pu took them to ask the emperor.

Of course, I first had to ask for the compilation of the "History of the Ming Dynasty", but I gave up because the historical materials were incomplete, and then asked the emperor for permission to give the monarch of the previous dynasty a name.

Zhao Han flipped through the pile of things and asked: "Pseudo-Qing and pseudo-Shun, there are also names for Chongzhen." What did they set up? ”

Qian Qianyi replied: "The pseudo-Qing dynasty is Emperor Huaizongduan, the pseudo-Shun is Emperor Sizongshen, and the Yunnan pseudo-dynasty is Emperor Wei Zonglie. ”

Huaizong and Sizong are the temple numbers of the king of the dead country.

Emperor Duan and Emperor Shen all carry the meaning of self-denial.

No praise or disparagement, ordinary normal, Dolgon and Li Zicheng, there is no need to disgust people in this matter.

Zhao Han looked through the things they had offered, searched carefully and thought, "Emperor Sizonggang." ”

Before the catch-up, it is said that it is just, self-improvement is said to be strong, political punishment is clearly asserted, and strong righteousness and courage are said to be strong...... Although it is just a plain talk, Zhao Han has already beautified Chongzhen very much.

Zhao Han has now given Chongzhen a temple number and a nickname, and the Ming Dynasty can really turn the page in the south, which is called the conclusion of the coffin.

Qian Qianyi and Zhang Pu bowed and withdrew, their faces a little happy.

They used to hate Chongzhen very much, but now they miss it a little. Being able to ask Chongzhen for a good name can also settle a matter of heart, and you can get the gratitude of the former scholars.

"Your Majesty is still kind." Zhang Pu said with emotion.

Qian Qianyi was also quite embarrassed: "Yes, it is extremely benevolent." ”

The two left and went to Zhang Dai, who was crowned king in Korea, and returned to Nanjing to report to the emperor.

After reporting on the envoy's situation, Zhang Dai arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the lord of North Korea asks to send the young sister to Nanjing as a palace maid." ”

It doesn't matter if a palace maid reaches the marriageable age, she can be released from the palace and find a lover to marry. Zhao Han nodded and said, "Permission." ”

The youngest sister of the lord of North Korea, the only daughter of Li Liang, and the historical lord of filial piety, is only six years old this year......

This is a consistent practice in North Korea, selecting the young daughters of high-ranking officials and nobles and sending them to the Ming court as palace maids, and there is a certain chance of being canonized as concubines.

In the early and middle Ming Dynasty, he also liked to select foreign boys and girls and bring them into the palace as eunuchs and palace maids. Because they have no relatives in Daming, they are not afraid that their relatives will interfere with politics.

Vietnamese eunuchs, Korean palace maids, that is a major feature of the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that now the king of North Korea, who came to the throne by a coup d'état, is extremely humble to China, and even sent his sister to be a palace maid.
