Chengdu Mansion.

Before the Yuan Dynasty, this place was once very prosperous and wealthy.

Later, Dayuan took advantage of Tubo, destroyed Dali in Yunnan, captured Sichuan, and attacked Xiangyang through Sichuan.

The Sichuan army and the people fought resolutely with one heart, which led to the brutal massacre of Sichuan by the Yuan army.

During the Song Dynasty, Sichuan, which had a population of more than 10 million, was slaughtered with less than a million people.

The people on the Sichuan-Shu Plain were almost wiped out, and all of them hid in the mountains.

And in order to prevent the Sichuan people from rebelling, the Mongols stripped the ancient city walls such as Chengdu Mansion and destroyed the urn city.

Jackals, tigers and leopards are everywhere, the city is dilapidated, the Han people gather in the post station to build a city, many places outside the post station, occupied by barbarians, bandits are rampant, lawless.

Many Daming post stations in Jianchangwei are often plundered by the people, so it is necessary to send a large army to guard it at any time.

Today's Chengdu City, most of which are the palaces of the King of Shu.

At this moment, Zhu Chunzheng, the king of Shu, Cao Zhen, the Marquis of Jingchuan, and Fang Xiaoru, a teacher in Chengdu, are visiting the palace of the king of Shu.

The palace of the king of Shu not only has craftsmen who should come from the sky, firing glaze and wall tiles.

It also specially looked for good wood from Annan, Guizhou, Yunnan and other places, and transported huge stones to Emei and other places, and built extremely magnificent.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang took into account the land of Sichuan and Shu, curbed the barbarians, and next year he was going to open the middle scroll to promote the imperial examination, so he specially ordered the eunuch Kang to supervise the creation of eunuch Kang, and everything was repaired according to the Forbidden City in Nanjing.

The latest transparent glass, the strongest "gold bricks" cast by the Linqing Bureau, and even the golden silk nanmu that can only be used by the Son of Heaven, have everything, just the magnificence, not much worse than Nanjing, but the internal structure lacks some luxury.

Now, the thirteen-year-old Shu King Zhu Chun is slender and jade, he is less good at reading, and sympathetic to the people, Zhu Yuanzhang praised him as "Shu Xiucai" during this time, and he is also worthy of the second son of Xiucai, just came to Shu, he ordered to rebuild more than half of the Shu Wangfu into the Confucian Temple of Gongyuan, for next year, Hongwu 18 years of imperial examination preparation.

The ancients got married at the age of fifteen, and he had already set up a marriage, and now it is when Lang Yu was a teenager.

Fang Xiaoru, also because Chengdu wants to open the middle volume of the imperial examination, made a special trip to supervise the preparation of the imperial examination here, and at the same time served as the examiner of the imperial examination.

Another reason is that Fang Xiaoru's teacher Song Lian, who was relegated to Maozhou in the thirteenth year of Hongwu because of Hu Weiyong's case, is not far from here.

"I don't think Eunuch Kang has built such a mansion for me."

Zhu Chun sighed.

Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen also said: "It's a pity that Eunuch Kang was killed by the gang of people in the household department, these civil officials, there is no good dog!" ”

After Cao Zhen finished speaking, he glanced at Fang Xiaoru with some disdain.

Cao Zhen, the Marquis of Jingchuan, was able to be crowned a marquis, mainly because he followed Deng Yu, the king of Ninghe, to conquer the west together, and fought from Qinghuang to the foot of Kunlun Mountain.

Zhu Yuanzhang believes that Deng Yu led a Ming army to be able to fight to the foot of Kunlun Mountain, recover Hezhou and other places, expand the territory for the Ming Dynasty for thousands of miles, and shine in the annals of history, compared with Guo Ziyi in the Tang Dynasty.

It's a pity that Deng Yu contracted altitude sickness on the plateau and died young.

Zhu Yuanzhang posthumously named Deng Yu as the king of Ninghe, loved the house and Wu, and the meritorious ministers who followed Deng Yu were also rewarded, and Cao Zhen was named the Marquis of Jingchuan because of his meritorious service in following Deng Yu's conquest of the West.

In fact, according to the merits, he might as well sit in Wuchang, and Zhu Shou, who supervised the transportation of grain and grass in Chongqing......

And Fang Xiaoru saw Cao Zhen's sharp eyes, but he pretended not to see or hear, looking at his nose and nose and heart.

You are scolding a civil official, what does it have to do with my filial piety?

In that year, in order to build the Shu Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang specially selected a student Chen Nanbin from the Guozijian as the governor of the Shu Mansion, and sent his henchman Eunuch Kang to supervise the construction, and Eunuch Kang was very attentive because of Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions, and asked the household department everywhere for money, food and materials, especially many materials, like gold bricks that can only be used in the Forbidden City, which is very rare and precious.

The officials of the household department were very disgusted by this, and Eunuch Kang himself also had small actions of greedy ink.

So, the civil officials united and played a game, saying that Eunuch Kang was corrupt and was given to death by Zhu Yuanzhang, who did not like corruption.

At this moment, after Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, arrived here, he knew that Eunuch Kang had made a lot of contributions to supervise the construction of the Shu Palace.

"For Eunuch Kang in the palace of the King of Shu, set up a temple of clothes and crowns, and make sacrifices."

Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, shook his head lightly and said, he put his hands behind his back, knowing that although Eunuch Kang was greedy for ink, he did not work hard to build the palace of the king of Shu, and it was a pity that his father directly gave him death.

The merits and demerits are offset, and Eunuch Kang is also meritorious.

"The newly built tribute courtyard should be mostly for the students of Chengdu Prefecture, build a house, and raise the children in the middle of the house, and pay them every month, and they must not be greedy for ink, and they must be handed over in person."

Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, said again.

In the land of Sichuan and Shu, the style of learning was simple, there was a Song Dynasty, and there was a saint of Su Shi and Su Dongpo.

Not to mention, during the Tang Dynasty, the poet immortal Li Taibai, who settled in Jiangyou with his father at the age of four, is also half of the Shu people, and has many poems for Sichuan and Shu, such as "Shu Road is difficult".

The poet saint Du Fu also lived in Chengdu, and Du Fu's thatched cottage remained, which was the place where the children of Nancun bullied him and were powerless.

Such a treasure land with a pure style of learning, up to now, outside Chengdu Mansion, many places are barren grass and wild beasts.

Like Chengdu is far away from the new capital and other places, in the Tang Dynasty, Tang Xizong took refuge in Shu, once changed the new capital Dashi Temple to Baoguang Temple, it is a thousand-year-old temple, the local people are rich in literature, and there are many poets lingering.

Nowadays, it has become a place where jackals, tigers and leopards, especially cannibal leopards.

A little farther away in Pengzhou, bears and tigers are rampant in the mountains.

The Han people who are still left in Chengdu are in tattered clothes, illiterate, and unintelligible, and are like savages, while the barbarians around them are fierce and barbaric, and even more rude.

Da Yuan is not unaware of the wealth of Chengdu, and they have governed it like this, and they have done it deliberately.

Because, once Sichuan and Shu are rich, there will be people who rebel.

Therefore, in the 100th year of the Yuan Dynasty, capable officials were basically not sent to Sichuan and Shu, and the ruling strength of the imperial court was not as good as that of Yunnan......

Ji'an Hou Lu Zhongheng, Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen came over, nothing else, the early stage was mainly to clean up the surrounding beasts, clean up the water conservancy facilities left over from the Han, Tang and Song dynasties, and build the city.

Hearing the words of Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, Fang Xiaoru, who was teaching in Chengdu at this time, hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu, the minister has ordered the superintendent of the Taixue to cooperate with the Marquis of Jingchuan Cao Zhen to supervise the transformation of craftsmen, but there is still one more thing ......."

He looked at Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen, and then looked at Zhu Chun.

Zhu Chun was puzzled: "Oh, why is Professor Fang hesitating, there are words to say directly." ”

Fang Xiaoru took a deep breath, remembered the entrustment of His Royal Highness Zhu Xiongying, the eldest grandson of the emperor, and said seriously: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu, before Xiaoru came here, His Royal Highness the eldest grandson personally pleaded with His Majesty and pardoned my teacher Song Taishi Gong, but there are prerequisites......

"Oh? Song Taishi Gong has been pardoned? ”

Zhu Chun was overjoyed.

He has been studying since he was a child, and he also likes the great Confucian Song Lian very much, and is naturally close to Confucianism.

Fang Xiaoru nodded: "The coffin of Song Taishi Gong is now temporarily resting in Kuizhou Lotus Mountain, Xiaoru wants to ask His Royal Highness the King of Shu, and Enzhun Xiaoru will move the coffin of his teacher and bury it in Chengdu Mansion." ”

Zhu Chun nodded and sighed: "Taishi Gong is a generation of Confucianism, and he should be courteous. ”

"Please send a team of soldiers to Maozhou to pick up the family of Song Taishi to come to my Huayang, and then send a team of soldiers to Kuizhou to migrate his coffin, and bury it on the side of the treasure temple, the morning bell and the dusk drum, and you can listen to the sound of my Shu middle school student Lang Lang ......"

Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen was silent, rolled his eyes and nodded.

And Fang Xiaoru arched his hand and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu, Xiaoru has not finished speaking. ”

"Your Majesty has spoken to pardon Song Lianyi, and he has a great deal of Confucianism, and ordered me to set up more schools in Chengdu to teach students from Sichuan and Shu Yungui, and to build a martial arts palace for the good martial arts family of Sichuan and Shu Yungui, called the Lecture Hall."

"If the martial arts hall is not done well, not only will my teacher Song Taishi Gong still be guilty, but I will also be punished for filial piety!"

Zhu Chun was about to praise his father for advocating Confucianism as the right way, but before he could laugh out loud, he was suddenly stunned: "Ah? Lecture on martial arts? ”

Fang Xiaoru looked at Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen.

He took a deep breath and nodded: "Yes, this lecture on martial arts, according to the meaning of the saint, when respecting the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu, the general of Shu Kingdom, is a martial saint, and Guan Yu's way of loyalty and righteousness is the spirit of martial arts. ”

"The head of the Tuguan in the southwest, or his eldest son, the children who inherit the Tusi, regardless of the male or female heads, must come to the martial arts hall to study."

"Because Guan Yu is a general of Shu State, therefore, this martial arts hall in Chengdu will be more grand."

"The Gongyuan and the Lecture Hall will become the place of my Ming Dynasty in the future, so I also ask Jingchuan Hou to serve more."

Fang Xiaoru saluted Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen.

Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen was shocked, he opened his mouth and muttered: "The superior, the superior has not forgotten our martial artists......"
