Outside the capital, Yuhuatai in the southern suburbs.

Yang Xinlu and two friends gathered here, while climbing high and looking into the distance, while discussing the government and politics.

"It's a pity that this prosperous area in front of me is about to usher in a new round of bloody rain!"

"Why did Brother Qin say this?"

The so-called Brother Qin, the sage Qin Hengbo who was officially recommended by Huang Zicheng to the crown princess.

It's just that this person is good at traveling to famous mountains and rivers, not to mention that Huang Zicheng can't find him, even his family doesn't know where he drifts day by day.

Qin Hengbo couldn't help but snort coldly when he saw Yang Xinlu asking.

"Don't tell me you can't even see this!"

"The crown prince Zhu Biao died, and the old emperor will definitely kill a group of people in order for the new emperor to sit firmly in the seat!"

"Now that he has abolished the position of prime minister, there is a lack of a leader among the civil officials, and he is simply unable to confront that group of unruly generals."

"According to the old man's view, the old emperor should use his sword against the generals next!"

Without waiting for Yang Xinlu to speak, Gao Ming, a famous man in Suzhou, said worriedly.

"Although I don't like the recklessness of military generals, if you kill too hard, once there is something at the border, or if there is a change in the vassal king, who should the court send to quell the chaos?"

"You can't let the civil officials fight with their swords, right?"

"The fall of the Song Dynasty is not far away, Zhu Ming finally snatched back the Huaxia crown from Lord Hu, but he can't be so easily gone!"

As soon as Gao Ming's words came out, whether it was Qin Hengbo, who was complaining, or Yang Xinlu, who was watching the excitement on the sidelines, they all bowed to Gao Ming.

"Senior brother Gao Yi, I am ashamed!"

Speaking of which, among the three of them, only Gao Ming has a blood feud with Emperor Zhu of the Ming Dynasty.

Because his only brother Gao Qi was not only killed by Zhu Yuanzhang on trumped-up charges, but also beheaded with the most vicious punishment.

The horror of such punishments is that even if a person is cut in half, he can remain awake for a while, and then die with excessive bleeding.

After Gao Qi was beheaded by the waist, he supported half of his body on the ground of the execution ground, dipped in his own blood and wrote three words "miserable", that shocking scene, even after more than 20 years, still makes people feel palpitations.

Therefore, even if Gao Ming said something ugly, both of them could show understanding.

After all, Emperor Zhu of the Ming Dynasty owes them too much to the Gao family.

Gao Ming heard the praise of the two and explained a few words embarrassedly.

"Don't get me wrong, I can't wait for Zhu Yuanzhang to die immediately!"

"It is not a pity for him to die, and it is impossible for him to atone for his sins even if he dies. It's just that the people of the world are innocent, just after a few years of good life, and they are about to be caught up in the sword soldiers again! ”

"It is foreseeable that once Zhu Yuanzhang is passed on to the emperor's grandson, he is bound to kill all the veterans and clear the way for the new emperor. It's just that in this way, the world will be in chaos, and then it will be a scene of misery! ”

Hearing this, Qin Hengbo nodded and agreed.

"yes!"

"If the crown prince Zhu Biao does not die, the world of the Ming Dynasty can continue for several generations."

"Now it seems that the fate of the Ming Dynasty may be the same as that of the Yuan Dynasty, its rise is also vigorous, and its death is also sudden."

Gao Ming shook his head and said.

"It may not be as good as the Yuan Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty has lasted for a hundred years, and the Ming Dynasty is afraid that the second will die!"

Although Qin Hengbo and Gao Ming's views were a little too pessimistic, this was the general psychology of Jiangnan literati at that time.

While hating Da Ming, he loves Da Ming at the same time.

hated the brutality and murder of Emperor Zhu of the Ming Dynasty, and made the scholars like cattle and horses, insulting and killing at every turn.

Love Daming's clothing system, etiquette and customs.

When Zhu Yuanzhang expelled the Tartars and revived the Han and Tang dynasties, the literati in Jiangnan also rejoiced and wanted to do their part for the new dynasty.

The four heroes of Wuzhong all joined Zhu Yuanzhang's command, but in just a few years, these people died tragically one after another.

Yang Ji was punished by Zhu Yuanzhang for hard labor and died of exhaustion on the construction site.

Zhang Yu was tied to a stone by Zhu Yuanzhang and thrown into the Yangtze River to feed the fish.

Xu Ben was a little delayed when he was rewarding the army because of a little trivial matter, and he was locked up and imprisoned, and he was tortured to death.

Gao Qi was even more tragic, just because he wrote a "County Governance Shangliang Wen" and wrote a sentence in the article, he was beheaded by Zhu Yuanzhang on the charge of rebellion!

These people are the essence of Jiangnan literati, and any one of them is a masterpiece of the moment, a contemporary Confucian.

However, so many people worked for the new dynasty, but in the end they ended up in such a miserable end, how could they not make Jiangnan scholars feel cold?

As soon as Gao Ming's words came out, several people fell silent.

They want to change, but they don't have the ability, so they can only watch the world chaos and the lives of people in misery.

After a long while, Yang Xinlu suddenly said.

"I have a different opinion, maybe Daming has a new turnaround?"

"Turnaround?"

Whether it was Gao Ming or Qin Hengbo, they all smiled disdainfully when they heard this.

"The fate of Da Ming was doomed when Zhu Yuanzhang raised the butcher knife, and Tyranny Qin was a lesson for him!"

When Gao Ming heard this, he hurriedly added.

"Who said the Qin Dynasty was brutal?"

"Qin Shi Huang only killed hundreds of monks, look at how many people Zhu Yuanzhang has killed over the years?"

"100,000 people can't be stopped, right?"

"Is there still a face compared to the Qin Dynasty?"

"He deserves it too!"

Yang Xinlu shrugged helplessly when he heard the indignant words of the two.

"I'm talking about a turnaround on another emperor."

"If it is rumored to be in Zhu Yunwen, then Emperor Zhu is bound to raise a butcher's knife and kill. But if it is passed on to Zhu Yunxi, the lives of some generals can be saved. ”

"Zhu Yunxi?"

Qin Hengbo shook his head when he heard this, saying that he had never heard of this person at all. Gao Ming has heard of it, but it is better not to hear it.

"Isn't that the one who writes erotic stories?"

"I don't see anything special about this person, but the script is not badly written, and the golden plum bottle is indeed a little interesting, and it is hard to imagine that it was made by a teenager."

Yang Xinlu heard this, and he was a sweat in his heart, he was the one who wrote the love story, and Gao Ming didn't say that he would save a little face for himself!

"In fact, it's nothing to write a love story, this is for people to warn the world!"

"To paraphrase a Zen saying in Buddhism, if you only see color, it proves that you only have color in your heart."

"You have to put aside those erotic parts and experience the warning meaning in the book!"

Gao Ming couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, knowing that his words had stung Yang Xinlu, and he didn't argue with him.

"Whatever you want, as long as you're happy, hahaha......"

Yang Xinlu only complained, and seeing that the two of them didn't mean anything about themselves, he immediately took out the reply letter written by Zhu Yunxi from his sleeve.

"I did have a little contact with Zhu Yunxi's grandson, and I also received a reply from him."

"I wrote to him before because I wanted to get acquainted with the author of the Golden Plum Vase and discuss the experience of writing a script."

However, his reply to me was particularly interesting. Although it is a bit too superficial, it is full of innocence. ”

"Would you like to hear it?"

Qin Hengbo and Gao Ming had already pricked up their ears, and when they saw that Yang Xinlu dared to sell Guanzi, Qin Hengbo immediately snatched the letter from him.

"Hello dear readers, although we have never met, I still thank you very much for your love for this book, and thank you for supporting the genuine version."

"But you don't have to meet me, just as you've eaten an egg and thought it was delicious, but would you have the idea of looking at the hen laying it?"

"I'm the same way, although the golden plum bottle is very good-looking, the author who wrote the golden plum bottle may not be good-looking."

"Therefore, meeting is fate, and there is no need to worry about it."

"Lanling Smile and Laughing Book"

After Qin Hengbo read the letter, he immediately slapped his thigh excitedly.

"This person is so funny, he actually has a bit of a dusty heart!"

"Where is that golden plum bottle sold, but the poor Dao has the idea of reading it, hahaha!"

Gao Ming listened to this simple and straightforward letter, and his face also showed a thoughtful expression.

This epistle seems to be plain, but the ideas contained in it are really profound, with the understanding and open-mindedness to see through the world and human feelings.

If it was written by a teenager, it would be terrible.

Vanity Fair, which others can't understand all their lives, can see so clearly at such an age, so will it be in the future?

"Brother Yang, this book is really written by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, isn't it ghostwritten?"

Yang Xinlu couldn't help but smile incomprehensibly when he saw Gao Ming asking.

"I don't know about this, I'm just paying tribute to Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng through the guys in the bookstore. As for whether this letter is from the hands of the emperor and grandson, who can say? ”

"However, it is rumored that the golden plum bottle was made by the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunxi, and the royal family has never denied it, and His Majesty the Emperor even ordered Jinyiwei to search the imitation books, I think the rumors should be true, right?"

Although Yang Xinlu said this, Gao Ming still felt that it was too incredible to understand that a teenage emperor and grandson could really write such a book, and he already wrote such a letter.

"If this book and this letter are really written by the emperor's grandson, then the old man is willing to be a lackey for his subordinates and let him drive him!"

Qin Hengbo also echoed when he heard this.

"If Zhu Yuanzhang can have such an interesting emperor's grandson, the old man will not go to the mountains and rivers, but also go to the emperor's grandson to be an official and a half-job!"

Yang Xinlu saw the two of them say this, and smiled proudly.

"To be honest, the old man has made an appointment with Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng today to meet on the second floor of the Sanwei Book House in the evening."

"If you two are interested, why don't you go over and observe it together?"

The two of them suddenly lit up when they heard this, and hurriedly nodded their heads in response.

"That's great!"

"Go together, go together!"

"Hahaha!"

Several people rushed down the mountain, and as soon as they came to the capital, they heard the people talking about it.

"Have you heard, the emperor has rewarded my Wu Palace to His Royal Highness the Three Emperors and Suns, and His Royal Highness the Three Emperors and Suns still thinks that the Wu Palace is too small, and is ordering Jinyiwei to demolish the nearby houses, planning to expand the palace!"

"Hey!"

"You are nothing, I heard that the emperor not only gave the palace of King Wu to the emperor and grandson, but also gave him the title of King Wu of the year, which shows the emperor's love for the emperor and grandson!"

"Yo!"

"No wonder he is so bold, it turns out that the emperor has his support!"

When a few people heard this, it was as if they had been poured a basin of cold water on their heads, and the eagerness in their hearts was completely gone.

Qin Hengbo sighed, and Gao Ming was even more angry and turned around and left, and was persuaded by Yang Xinlu's good words.

"We're all at the door, it's a shame not to go in and have a look!"

"What else is there to see?"

"This looks like a brutal person, who spends extravagantly and brutalizes the people at such a young age, and will grow up in the future?"

"Although the old ones are not good, at least they know moderation, know thrift, and cherish the people's power!"

Yang Xinlu tightly grasped Gao Ming's arm and persuaded.

"Bear with me!"

"Even if the court cuts off the head, you have to be interrogated and questioned, you have to give people a chance to explain!"

"Maybe it's instigated by the people below, and other people's children are not sensible?"

Gao Ming was angry when he mentioned this.

"Ignorant?"

"If he's not sensible, then what are we going to do!"

"Didn't Brother Qin and I just see that he is too sensible, so we have the intention of seeing him!"

When several people were arguing, Ding Hao, a guy from Sanwei Library, happened to come out to go to the grid, and when he saw the old man Yang Xinlu, he immediately came up.

"Hello old man, my owner has been waiting for a long time, you can go up now!"
