For empty space.

The ups and downs of his life, of course, he knows that his life is a failure.

But where does failure come from?

Why did the things he thought he had found to govern the country and regard it as a guideline be punctured by his fourth uncle like paper.

It's a heart knot.

So much so that he became a monk, and he couldn't calm down!

Although he can be explained by the reasons of becoming a king or defeating a king, using his fourth uncle to be more brutal, etc.

But these explanations are a little pale after all.

Today, he is in the midst of a group of scholars.

These readers are fascinated.

And in the center of this stage, standing...... is a dazzling person.

When Chen Ji appeared, the audience cheered, and many people looked at him with admiration and respectfully waved at him.

He smiled, enjoying it all, and saluting it all back.

Chen Ji is a person...... Emptiness is knowing.

He was a jinshi during the Hongwu period.

During the Jianwen period, he served as a waiter in the Hanlin Academy, and his articles were very well written, although he was not as favored as Huang Zicheng and others, but at that time, he was ...... It's quite appreciative.

I just think that his qualifications are still young and he still needs to be sharpened.

Now I see the old people.

It's a pity...... He has changed beyond recognition, from a son of heaven, to a monk who has escaped into the empty door, no longer wearing a crown robe, but a shabby monk's robe, and no longer energetic and ambitious, but instead of looking haggard.

Mr. Chen...... When I came here, I asked Mr. Chen...... Tell me about it. ”

Chen Ji smiled, he himself didn't expect that after he lost his official position, he would become famous all over the world.

People praised his righteous deeds, and there were even various dramatic episodes in the community.

In the palace that day, how Chen Ji spoke up, how the emperor was angry, and how righteous Chen Ji was, abandoning fame and fortune.

It can be said that ...... In the minds of readers, Chen Ji has become a lively Fang Xiaoru.

Fang Xiaoru died, and Chen Ji became Fang Xiaoru in the minds of readers.

In people's minds, today's Son of Heaven is only the second Emperor Taizu Gao, and anyone who dares to do anything with him is enough to be admired.

Chen Ji clasped his hands like a spring breeze, waved at everyone, and said: "You are really ashamed to show love, the old man only came to drink tea, so I invited you to ...... Don't put the old man in this blazing fire to cook, the old man is only shallow in learning, and he deserves your praise. ”

Everyone laughed, only feeling that Chen Ji was modest.

Chen Ji sat down, and Xiao Er had already served him new tea.

At this time, someone said: "Dare to ask Mr. Chen, why did you speak up in the first place?"

He took a sip of tea calmly, and then said slowly: "Scholars are the most important temperament, this word temperament, as heavy as a thousand jun, the old man is just an ordinary man, just lucky to be able to enter the Confucian Gate, read some poems and books of the Holy Ancestor, but he didn't dare to get an axe, just ...... Seeing that the world is full of holes, I really can't bear it, although I can't succeed in my studies, there is always a bit of grandeur in my heart, so I angrily made some speeches, but I didn't expect it...... It's a shame that you think so highly of you. “

As soon as these words came out, everyone praised one after another: "Duke Chen is like a loyal martyr." ”

This loyal martyr's nickname is the posthumous gift of Wen Tianxiang from the Ming Dynasty.

Another humane: "The word integrity is easy to say, but it is extremely difficult to do." Chen Gong, you speak up, what is the injustice? ”

Chen Ji sighed and said, "Hey...... I am the right attendant of the military department, and the corpse is vegetarian, but I can see that the imperial court is unprovoked to conquer, so what about Annan as a country that my Ming Dynasty will never conquer? Some people in the DPRK and China are so happy about their achievements, and some generals ...... I just want to use the people's strength of the country and the people's fat and anointment of the people in exchange for their titles. ”

"The war together, not only Annan suffered, but also my Ming army and people, I don't know how much suffering suffered, the court disregards the people's livelihood and insists on going its own way, this court, there is no lack of loyal people, this is very disgusted, but they are in a high position, it is not appropriate to come forward, the old man is different, the old man is humble, so he has to be willing to cut his body, and shout a few times for the people."

After hearing this, everyone nodded their heads, and some even said sadly: "Yes, this time to conquer Annan, a large number of strong forces in the countryside of Nanzhili have been requisitioned, the fields are barren, and the people are miserable. ”

Another humane: "Fortunately, this time I won by luck, if I don't win, wouldn't it become Emperor Yang of Sui's expedition to Goguryeo?" ”

Zhu Di was in the crowd, and when he heard the three words of Emperor Yang of Sui, he was immediately furious, and his tiger eyes seemed to be about to breathe fire.

However, Zhu Di was quite calm at this time, did not have a seizure, and still watched coldly.

Zhang Anshi has been paying attention to Zhu Di, and he is very knowledgeable, so he stands far away from Zhu Di, so as not to make this Zhu Laosi suddenly burst out and splash the blood of an innocent person.

Zhu Yong and Zhang Xuan seemed to have a feeling, and when they saw their eldest brother like this, they also moved slightly with Zhang Anshi.

Only Qiu Song was still holding his stomach, staring at the 'liveliness' in front of him sluggishly, confused.

At this time, I saw someone again: "Mr. Chen, I heard that it was the trading house that supplied the military supplies this time, and it was also the fourth guard and one battalion of the trading house that entered Annan...... Heard...... I also earned a lot of money and food. ”

It's okay if Chen Ji doesn't listen to this, but when he hears this, he suddenly looks furious.

Chen Ji looked angry and snorted coldly: "Hmph, what I'm worried about is exactly that." Where did the money and food come from? Isn't it the people's fat and the people's ointment? They took control of the ferry, peddled the mansions, and sold the eight shares of the pen, the silver...... Is there one that is clean? ”

Chen Ji continued bitterly: "If it's just an ordinary trading house, it's fine, but behind this trading house, there are many traitors in the Ming Dynasty. These power traitors...... They prey on the people, and regard everything as a tool for their profit, and now they ...... also stole Annan, using the flesh and blood of my Ming soldiers and civilians, fish and flesh of the people of Annan. ”

After a pause, Chen Ji said again: "The etiquette is chaotic, and the dam is waterproof, and these people ...... But greedy for profits, regard etiquette and shame as nothing, and if you start this today, you will inevitably collapse in the future. ”

"What they want today is Annan, and tomorrow they ...... Won't they still go to the Wa Kingdom and Tianzhu to commit murder? ”

Everyone nodded secretly.

I also heard Chen Jidao: "If the Ming Dynasty only blindly connived at the business houses to show off their might, and follow the example of Qin Shi Huang and the Han Dynasty, the time will come...... Inevitably, the people's livelihood will wither, the people will be weak, and the etiquette will collapse...... This is the way to take trouble, when the Wen Dynasty was first established......"

He suddenly mentioned the Jianwen Dynasty.

Suddenly, Zhu Di's eyes suddenly flashed a trace of refinement.

In fact, Zhu Di is not completely generous, as long as you don't scold me in front of me, as for the yin and yang weirdness in your private reading, he Zhu Di has heard a lot, but he also knows that blind killing can't stop these people, just don't hear it.

Ke Jianwen is an extremely sensitive period, and once it is mentioned, it will inevitably make Zhu Di vigilant.

And that empty monk...... I couldn't help but be stunned.

I saw Chen Jidao: "During the Jianwen Dynasty, I was fortunate to be able to meet with Huang Zicheng, Fang Xiaoru, Qi Tai, these sages, and listen to their teachings, they think...... The way to peace in the country lies in benevolent government! ”

Seeing that everyone was listening to him carefully, he was very satisfied, and continued to talk eloquently: "What is benevolence? Rest with the people, light servitude, exempt from taxes, the court promotes the virtuous and virtuous into the court as officials, and let the benevolent gentlemen take charge of the affairs of the ministries, this peaceful and prosperous era is not far away. ”

Huang Zicheng...... Qi Tai ...... Fang Xiaoru......

These three people have an excellent reputation among scholars.

But for Zhu Di, Fang Xiaoru is not to mention the rotten Confucian, but Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai were the main forces who instigated Jianwen to cut the domain.

These two people strongly cut the feudal domain, and Zhu Di was difficult at the beginning, claiming to kill the traitorous ministers around Emperor Jianwen, and the so-called traitors were actually Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng.

After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he killed Huang Zicheng and others.

Of course, this also aroused widespread sympathy among the readers, and the readers spread the word of mouth that Huang Zicheng and others were also punished by the Ten Clans.

This is obviously also different, not to mention the killing of the ten clans, including parents and brothers, as well as various distant relatives and neighbors, teachers and students, classmates, and the same year, if you really want to kill, I am afraid that more than tens of thousands of people will be killed.

But in fact, during the Zhengde period, there were also records of Huang Zicheng's descendants of high school jinshi.

Even the direct descendants can escape the killing, let alone the so-called 'Ten Clans'.

Chen Jiyi mentioned Huang Zicheng and others, and everyone showed nostalgia.

This Chen Ji is extremely smart, only mentioning that Huang Zicheng and others are famous ministers, and they really care about the world and love the people, but he never mentions the more sensitive Emperor Jianwen, because mentioning Emperor Jianwen is equivalent to rebellion.

But if you only say that Jianwen's courtiers are all gentlemen, to a certain extent, it is also a strange saying that Emperor Jianwen was a benevolent monarch at the beginning, and he is the most holy son of heaven since the Ming Dynasty.

No matter how stupid Zhu Di is, he can still hear this off-string sound.

The anger in his heart was even stronger, and he suddenly felt that his heart was blocked, the green tendons on his forehead were exposed, he clenched his fists, bit his lip and was silent, and his face was extremely ugly.

In addition, the corner of his eye swept murderously past the figure of the empty monk in the distance.

At this time, I heard Chen Jidao again: "Have you heard of the recent events?" This merchant house has lent money everywhere, and how many ignorant people have fallen for them...... Ask them for a loan. Now many states and counties in Nanzhili are already in turmoil, hey...... The Comptoir...... It is the root of all evil......"

Speaking of this, many readers were in an uproar.

Naturally, the scolding continued.

Then there was a humane: "What Chen Gong said is...... That's right...... And I saw many people going to the bankers to borrow money...... This...... How much balm and balm can you get......"

Chen Ji smiled and said, "The old man has something to say...... I really don't vomit unpleasantly, when the old man was the right attendant of the military department, he still dared to speak up, and today he has become a cloth cloth, idle clouds and wild cranes, if some words are not said, it is really ...... The mouth of the heart is clogged. ”

"I have only been in the Ming Dynasty for decades, and there have been so many failures, it is really difficult for people to sleep and eat, dare to ask the princes, if it is the Jianwen Dynasty, Huang Xianggong and Qi Xianggong, will there be such a bad government?"

So immediately there were humanitarians: "Absolutely not!" ”

"At that time, it was really a new atmosphere...... It's a pity ......."

Some people even whispered: "If the Son of Heaven Jianwen is here, why would the people be so miserable!" ”

People are like this, what they didn't dare to say before, but when people get together, they start to dare to say it.

Chen Ji said and smiled slightly, at this time he was already famous all over the world, seeing that these people admired him and recognized him, he had hidden in Shilin and became a rising dazzling star, so he couldn't help but be even more fluttering.

Speaking of which, when I just lost my official position, it was really uncomfortable. But now looking at everyone's respectful gaze, what's the good of being an official? Can it be like now, everyone is arguing, and wherever he goes, whether it is Shangshu or Shilang, he must be polite to him?

Which state capital is he going to now, the local parents and officials, don't be respectful? Even in the history books of the future, maybe there will be a place for him!

When he was triumphant.

didn't know that in the corner, Zhu Di had already emerged with endless killing intent.

Zhu Di's temper was already bad, and now when he heard these discussions, although Chen Ji had avoided all the sensitive points, he was like a hook, little by little, hooking out many scholars to blurt out malicious words to the emperor of the current dynasty.

In his ears, someone whispered: "The Emperor of Jianwen was really benevolent when he implemented benevolent government, favored scribes, lenient sentences and prisons, and reduced taxes." ”

"I always think about Na Jianwen...... couldn't help crying, and only Chen Gong dared to say so bluntly, who would dare to say more about this on weekdays. ”

"Now, Jianwen doesn't know whether he is alive or dead. But I don't know such benevolence...... Where have they ...... so far"

"Nine times out of ten have been killed, woohoo ......"

Zhu Di's face was as red as pig's liver, and he subconsciously turned his head...... only to find that all the people who brought it had already hid in the corner.

Even Xu Huizu was not exempt from vulgarity.

But at this moment...... Suddenly, someone said: "Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai...... Be punished! ”

This sudden sound suddenly became a discordant sound in this tea shop.

Many of the readers were stunned for a moment, and then glared angrily in the direction of the sound source.

saw a monk wearing an old monk's robe, and then stood up indignantly.

"You monk, how dare you talk about it...... Sages? ”

"Where did the bald donkey come from, what nonsense!"

When Chen Ji saw a monk come out, instead of being angry, he was overjoyed.

It would be better to have a target, after all, he was born as a Jinshi, how could he be afraid of a little monk?

Therefore, Chen Ji said calmly: "Why did you say this? ”

"Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai instigated Jianwen to kill his flesh and blood uncle, the so-called benevolent government is a big joke, he is tolerant of scribes, but what about these scribes?"

As he spoke, the monk took another step forward.

As the monk approached, Chen Jigui felt that the monk in front of him was a little familiar, but ...... Who, or where he had seen it, he couldn't remember for a moment.

Hearing that the Yourong scribe was going to be rapped by this monk, Chen Ji couldn't care about the familiarity, and said angrily: "You are a monk, what nonsense? ”

The empty monk ...... at this time I felt nothing but a fire in my chest.

All...... He figured it all out.

It is precisely because of these that he lost the world.

This inner unwillingness, as well as years of grievances, are now entangled, and he has a kind of indignation after being empowered.

He ignored Chen Ji, but said, "The so-called scribe...... Is it a gentleman? If it's a gentleman...... Why...... The Jianwen Dynasty faced the soldiers and horses of the emperor's fourth uncle, but it collapsed again and again, where is the hearts of the people who support the imperial court? When Jianwen was here, when did the people have a good life? When the poor monk was in the relationship, he heard that there were a large number of people, all of whom lost their land during the Jianwen Dynasty. Their land...... Where did it go? ”

Without waiting for Chen Ji to argue, Kongkong continued to say angrily: "The so-called light conscription and taxation are even more ridiculous! Wars are raging, there are fires everywhere, but they are still paying light taxes, and those taxes are ...... How many benefits did the people have? Without these taxes, the imperial court had to raise money and food everywhere in order to mobilize troops, but these money and food were pressed on ordinary people. ”

"That Jianwen is the world's first-class faint king, like such a fool, but he was fooled by people like Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai, lost his taxes, lost the hearts of ordinary people, what did he get? It's just a bunch of readers...... It's just a good name to talk about. ”

Chen Ji's face changed.

Many of the scholars were also indignant, and they all glared at him.

"You monk, don't bewitch the crowd. You are not qualified to slander Huang Gong and Qi Gong. ”

Zhu Di, whose eyes were full of flames just now, was a little stunned at this time, saying that he didn't think the accident was fake.

He looked at the emptiness in a daze, and at this moment, there was an indescribable feeling.

"Don't you know what the world is like?" Kongkong shouted loudly: "You keep saying that the people are suffering, what kind of life are the real people in this world, do you have one of you...... Know? ”

Chen Ji was frightened by the monk's momentum.

Because he found that this monk seemed to be crazy, he didn't pay attention to the abuse of others at all.

He didn't seem to care about anything, he just glared at Chen Ji angrily at this time, and said step by step: "Don't you think it's ridiculous that you don't see the people in your eyes, but you still talk about the people's suffering?" If you want to know the sufferings of the people, why don't you go home and ask your householders how much rent you will pay when you rent your land to the tenants? ”

"This ......"

Let's be honest...... Who can sit here...... There is land in the house.

And tenant rent is something that cannot be talked about at all, and if you talk about it, it will inevitably be cheesy.

Earning money has nothing to do with scholars, of course, there is a housekeeper to take care of it.

The empty monk continued: "The poor monk came to ask you again, this year's catastrophe, how much interest do you have to borrow money and grain?" Chen Ji...... Your family is a prominent family in Yongfeng County, don't you know? ”

Chen Ji's heart sank.

How did this monk know that he was a prominent family in Guangfeng?

The empty monk showed disdain, but he didn't plan to stop, and continued: "Okay, the little monk will tell you, the money and grain you lent out, not only nine out of thirteen, these nine out of thirteen, just the deed of the loan, on top of these thirteen, you also have to add profit, borrow one liter this year, at least two liters next year, if you owe credit in the next year, after two or three years, you may have to pay back a bucket." ”

"I'm going to ask you...... You Chen Ji relied on these to raise you, provide you with education, and teach you to come out to be an official, do you think ...... Where did you come from to have a leisurely tea here today? Isn't it all because of you, a benevolent and righteous guy, behind the scenes, it is those relatives who rob men and prostitutes to rip off the people's fat and ointment? ”

Chen Ji said angrily: "You...... How dare you insult me? ”

The empty monk was even more disdainful: "People like you...... Enjoying the wealth brought by these harmful people, but being able to sit here, full of benevolence, righteousness and shame, and still be so at ease, showing your so-called iron bones, don't you feel sorry? ”

Chen Ji: "......"

His face turned red, his mind was blank with anger, and a little monk dared to insult him like this.

If he is still the right attendant of the military department, he will definitely teach this person to die without a place to be buried.

The empty monk said even more sarcastically: "For a person like you, you dare to scold that trading house, the silver lent by that trading house is only five percent interest, compared with people like you Chen Ji, it can be said that it is very rare!" How many people, affected by the disaster this year, have no way to continue, relying on this loan, can barely make a living, so that they can survive this year, and in the coming year, they do not have to sell their fields and land, let alone sell their children and daughters. And you? Do you deserve to be compared to that firm? You also deserve to scold the so-called power traitor? ”

When the empty monk said this, tears fell down, and he choked up: "Hate, hate only that there was no business house like this around Jianwen at the beginning, and there was no person like Zhang Anshi, if not, how can he ...... today?"

"As for Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai's generation, but the local chicken and tile dog, like you Chen Ji, only know how to be a donkey barking dog, and only know how to talk about the so-called benevolence, righteousness and morality, but it is useless, and it is even more harmful to the people of the world. You Chen Ji...... It's not even as good as a dog, sitting here and talking, barking wildly, and thinking that he has some ability, don't you think it's ridiculous? ”

This time......... It really scolded many readers.

These people who read ...... One by one, they became angry, and their mouths were incessantly scolding.

Chen Ji was even more embarrassed, and scolded: "What are you, just a monk, you dare to bark in front of the old man!" You...... You...... Come...... I am familiar with the people of Yingtianfu, and I have to teach this monk to go to prison to punish crimes. ”

But the empty monk laughed: "Hahaha...... Haha......"

After laughing, he looked at Chen Jidao like crazy, and said, "When you talk about the length of people here, why didn't you think that someone would punish you?" Now that you are being revived, do you know how to show your might? ”

Zhu Di in the corner, his face softened slightly, and then ...... With a strange look, look at everything in front of you.

I saw Chen Ji angrily say: "You are such a mad monk...... It's just to read a few scriptures, and dare to rap here, what are you? ”

The empty monk's face suddenly sank, he stared at Chen Ji, and suddenly put on an indescribable majesty.

Some people are born with infinite wealth and nobility, and they are born with a full body of nobility, and that kind of majesty has been cultivated over the years, but ordinary people do not have.

The empty monk said word by word: "What is the little monk?" Scold...... The little monk Zhu Yunwen is also! ”

As soon as this statement came out.

There was a sudden silence in the tea shop.

Needle drops can be heard.

All the readers...... They were all stunned.

But soon, someone shouted: "Bold, you dare to pretend to be Jianwen?" ”

"This monk is crazy, and he is not afraid to lose his head."

But the empty monk turned a deaf ear to this, but stepped forward and said coldly to this Chen Ji: "Chen Ji...... In the first year of Jianwen, Chongwen Dianxiao said, you were also there at that time, you were just a reader, responsible for assisting Fang Xiaoru in teaching "Tang Ji Thirty-four", do you remember? ”

Chen Ji suddenly ...... Something seems to have come to mind.

And Zhu Yunwen's words made all the readers stunned.

Suddenly, someone began to feel that something was wrong.

The things in the court are by no means something that ordinary people can blurt out.

The empty monk took another step forward, looked at Chen Ji, who had begun to change his face, and continued: "In the spring of the first year of Jianwen, you and the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple, etc., jointly played a concert, asking for the resumption of the three lectures in January...... Have you forgotten? ”

Suddenly, Chen Ji felt that his body had softened.

He looked at the empty monk in front of him incredulously, no wonder this person was familiar...... Right now...... He remembered.

At the beginning, he may have just looked at Zhu Yunwen a few times when he was talking, but now he ...... This Zhu Yunwen is right in front of him......

As if struck by lightning, his eyes widened, and he said in despair: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty ......"

Zhu Yunwen smiled and said, "Where am I still Your Majesty, but I am an outsider." But you, still haven't changed, and you're still full of righteous words, it's a pity...... Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai, as well as Fang Xiaoru, are all dead, you, the clown who jumped off the beam next to them at the beginning, but you are still very noisy, this is really not as good as the generation, teaching people to sigh. ”

Chen Ji was stunned, he had no time to react otherwise.

Countless thoughts came to mind.

And the rest of the readers...... No one dares to insult again.

I just feel like it's ...... There seems to be an indescribable kind of funny.

Zhu Yunwen continued: "It's a pity that people like you weren't killed with them!" If the little monk could have woken up at the beginning, how could he have been blinded and trust people like you? Ay...... The little monk is really unscrupulous, it is precisely because of your gullibility that I see a clown like you today, and I still can't stand it, I really shouldn't have committed such a hate. ”

His words were mean to the extreme.

Chen Ji stumbled, only feeling that his soul was scattered, and at this time, he didn't have any power to refute, only muttered: "You are a nonsense......... Be...... It's ......"

Zhu Yunwen said: "Do you know that the little monk saw you today, although he said so much, there is one thing...... Hidden in the bottom of my heart, I only regret it, can't I want to do it but can't get it? ”

Chen Ji's heart was completely confused, and he subconsciously said: "He ...... What......

Zhu Yunwen opened his eyes violently, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes.

"The little monk wants to ......"

He paused, and suddenly burst out with infinite anger: "Enter your mother!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the person under the monk's robe suddenly burst out, raised his legs, and kicked directly at Chen Ji's lower limbs!
