Chapter 15: The Ancient Version of the Finger Folding Game
Zhu Yang was born in the twelfth year of Hongwu, and the world was already peaceful at this time.
He grew up in the palace and had never seen war or suffered much.
But Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he was a good material, so he sealed him to Minzhou and Daxing in the northwest.
Minzhou is Minxian County, Gansu Province, which belonged to the territory of the Qiang people in the pre-Qin period, and was occupied by the Tubo in the Tang Dynasty, until after the Yuan Dynasty, there are still many Tubo people living here.
Therefore, from ancient times to the present, Minzhou is a relatively poor and backward place.
For Zhu Yang, staying in Minzhou must be unpleasant.
What if you're not happy?
Lao Zhu was the master of the same thing at that time, and if you let you go, you have to go.
There was no way, Zhu Yang had to take his luggage and go on the road slowly.
As a result, on the way to the halfway, the imperial court asked him to go to Yunnan as a vassal king on the grounds that he had just taken Yunnan.
Yunnan is also very backward, compared to Minzhou, at most half a catty and eight taels.
But Zhu ran from the northwest to the southwest, but Lao Zhu told him that there was no palace for him in Yunnan.
At that time, Yunnan was the territory of the Mu family, so the better plots and houses were occupied by the Mu family.
Zhu Yuxin said that he is also a vassal king, so he can't even have a place to live, right?
So, he played Lao Zhu and asked to build a palace in Yunnan.
But Da Ming is poor!
At that time, Lao Zhu replied, you are also the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, don't you understand the difficulties of the imperial court?
Yunnan has just been pacified, and there are still many places to spend money.
As for building a royal palace? That's all you can think of?
When the court has money in the future, I will consider building a big palace for you!
Zhu Yuxin said, you are a bad old man, I believe you are a ghost.
may be a little dissatisfied with his treatment, Zhu Yang did a lot of illegal things after coming to Yunnan.
You know, Yunnan was brought down by the Mu family, and others allowed you to spread wild on your own territory?
Although it was not Mu Ying who was the leader in Yunnan at that time, his son Mu Sheng was not used to Zhu Ying.
If you're going to do something on my turf, I'm going to ......
Make small reports.
At that time, Zhu Yunwen, who was pondering the cutting of the domain, was worried that he could not find a "legitimate" reason to deal with his uncle.
I was very happy when I saw Mu Sheng's small report.
Zhu Yang was immediately deposed as a concubine and escorted to Zhangzhou, Fujian Province and imprisoned.
When Zhu Dijing was difficult to succeed, in order to win the hearts of the royal family, he was reinstated.
Since then, he and Mu Sheng's relationship has been concluded.
The two restrained each other in Yunnan and demolished each other.
Zhu Di was happy to see this situation at first, so whenever they made a fuss, they were all one person with a big stick.
However, Zhu Yang really didn't like that place in Yunnan, and the more he did it, the more he went too far, and even Zhu Di couldn't bear it.
Directly cut off his guards and depose all his subordinate officials.
In this way, Zhu Yang can't fight Mu Sheng.
He was afraid that Zhu Yang would retaliate against him, so he wrote a memora overnight and asked Zhu Di to move him out of Yunnan.
But Zhu Di didn't want to pay attention to him at all.
It was not until Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne that he again made a request to move out.
The little fat man, who is fat and kind-hearted, finally agreed to his uncle's request.
However, it was moved from Yunnan to Huguang Wugang.
What is Huguang Wugang?
The same poor place as Yunnan and Minzhou!
Zhu Yang had long been tortured by fate and didn't want to resist, thinking that as long as there was no rival Mu Sheng, it would be a sunny day.
After coming to Wugang, he also did not have a palace.
But it doesn't matter.
Anyway, there is no Mu Sheng's sworn enemy.
Maybe it was God's favor, or maybe it was because he had no quarrel with the world, Zhu Yang lived to be seventy-two years old, and he survived all his brothers to death.
For such a strange person, Zhu Guanwen is deeply admired.
So no matter how Zhu Hu obstructed him, he still agreed to Zhu Han's request and let him join the game.
"Okay, Uncle Min Wang wants to play, then let's play together!"
Zhu Guanwen smiled and waved his hand: "Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaosui, you three brothers are also together." ”
"Huh?"
Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment and said, "We want to play too?" ”
"How?" Zhu Guanwen raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you just promise me to play together?" ”
"But ....."
Zhu Gaochi hesitated, and said in his heart that we don't know that this game is a game of changing fiefdoms!
Besides, we are all still the sons of the vassal king, and even if we change our fiefdoms, it will not be our turn to call the shots.
seemed to see the thoughts of the three Zhu Gaochi brothers, Zhu Guanwen smiled and comforted: "You are just playing together, not participating in the change of fiefdom!" ”
After speaking, he looked at the other vassal kings and said faintly: "Uncles, don't participate in the game of changing fiefdoms, otherwise the Ming Empire will not have your uncles to guard it, and it will be difficult for me to sleep and eat!" ”
"Your Majesty....."
Zhu Quan hesitated for a moment, then stood up and said, "The minister is very curious about the game His Majesty plays, and invites His Majesty to participate." ”
"Uncle Ning, I have just said that I will not let you participate in the game of changing fiefs."
Zhu Guanwen said, his face gradually became serious: "Uncle Ning's fief is the top priority of my Ming Dynasty, except for Uncle Ning, no one else can be competent, and I hope that Uncle Ning will understand my hard work." ”
"This ....."
Hearing Zhu Guanwen's words, Zhu Quan hesitated slightly, and finally compromised: "Since Your Majesty has good intentions, the minister has to try his best to protect the border of my Ming Dynasty and repay the grace of heaven." ”
"That's very good."
Zhu Guanwen bowed slightly, showing a satisfied smile.
Zhu Quan, Zhu Hu and Zhu Lu were also relieved.
As for Zhu Shangbing, the king of Qin, and Zhu Jixi, the king of Jin, the second-generation vassal kings, they didn't care about the fiefdom.
Their fiefs are all good fiefs, and there is no need to change them at all.
Soon, Zhu Guanwen beckoned the kings to sit down.
When the kings returned to their seats, Zhu Guanwen clapped his hands, and Wang Zhong took a few little eunuchs and carried a long wooden table to the middle of the main hall.
I saw six bamboo tubes on the table, each with five bamboo sticks.
Everyone looked sideways, all showing curious eyes.
Zhu Guanwen explained with a smile: "This is a drinking table game. ”
"The rules are very simple, the first person to start, say a condition, at this time, the person who meets the conditions must take out the bamboo sticks in his bamboo tube and throw them on the table."
"The first person to throw the bamboo sticks in the bamboo tube is judged to be a failure."
"On the contrary, the person with the most remaining bamboo sticks will be judged as the winner."
"Since you're not familiar with it yet, I've decided to try it out three times first, and then start the game."
Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Zhu Zhi and Zhu Yan: "Uncle Liao Wang, Uncle Min Wang, do you all understand?" ”
Zhu Zhi and Zhu Yang glanced at each other, nodded in unison and said, "Understood!" ”
"What about Zhu Gaochi?"
"We get it, too!"
The three brothers hurriedly answered, and at the same time showed a look of eagerness to try.
"Okay, now that everyone understands, let's get started!"
Zhu Guanwen said, got up from his seat, walked to the top of the square table, and said to Wang Zhong: "Go and get a few jars of spirits, although the first three are trials, but if you lose, you will still be punished!" ”
"Yes!"
Wang Zhong nodded in response and hurriedly went to carry the wine.
When the kings saw this, they immediately became interested.
I even regretted a little that I didn't participate.
But regret this kind of thing has just begun, and the show is about to be staged.
