At night, the East Palace Dormitory.

Zhu Houzhao's huge bed was covered with thick green yarn. Jiang Bin entered the yarn tent with a small box in his hand.

Zhu Houzhao's voice came from the gauze tent: "All retreat." ”

Liu Jin hurriedly waved his hand. The eunuchs and palace maids left the dormitory one after another.

These palace people were chuckling in their hearts: I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Fourteen-year-old Crown Prince to have such a habit. In the box that General Jiang was holding, there might be some strange things in the room.

Even Liu Jin was worried: Shouldn't a fourteen-year-old boy be interested in a big girl who is like a flower? His Royal Highness is obsessed with Longyang, which is not good for the branches!

They were all wrong! They looked down on Zhu Houzhao.

After Jiang Bin entered the green gauze tent.

Zhu Houzhao asked, "Let's start?" ”

Jiang Bin nodded.

Zhu Houzhao stood up from the couch and respectfully saluted Jiang Bin in the weekly salute: "Mr. Jiang, please teach the students military!" ”

Jiang Bin opened the box. Inside is a simplified version of the nine-sided situation map.

Jiang Bin said: "Your Highness, today I will tell you the key points of the defense of the Great Wall of Xuanfu. ”

Zhu Houzhao deceived everyone. He slept with Jiang Bin every night, and he was by no means doing anything ridiculous.

He regarded Jiang Bin, a fierce general of the border army, as his teacher. Every night, I was hungry and thirsty to learn the knowledge of commanding troops and fighting wars.

Officials above the sixth rank of the DPRK have to give the prince a recital every month, please ask for a greeting. Most of the officials used flowery rhetoric in the recital.

According to the rules, the prince needs to approve every question and courtesy, showing that the prince respects the courtiers.

Zhu Houzhao never tires of it. He is really tired of seeing this kind of sycophancy.

Until one day, he took a copy of the greeting and glanced at it a few times.

This glance didn't matter, the ten words in the sparse made him tremble and be shocked.

These nine words are "the great tomorrow should be in charge of the military in person".

Zhu Houzhao was like a treasure, and read this recital three times.

Song Shu's point of view can be summed up in one article: if the prince wants to become a generation of Ming monarchs in the future, he should follow the example of Taizu and Taizong and personally take charge of military power.

After reading it three times, Zhu Houzhao remembered to flip through the cover to see who was on this note.

I saw that on the cover, it was written in strong and powerful handwriting, "Wang Shouren, Director of the Military Election Division of the Ministry of Ministers and Soldiers".

Zhu Houzhao remembered the name. I remembered his suggestion that the great tomorrow should be in charge of the military himself.

Although I am not a great tomorrow today, I will be in the future. In order to hold military power, we must first know what military is.

If you are a threesome, you must have my teacher. Lone can't go to Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia to learn military affairs. The movement is too big to arouse the vigilance of the civilian clique.

Then go to Jiang Bin as a teacher! Jiang Bin is a fierce general who has fought and shed blood. He would be a qualified teacher.

The entire civilian-official group thought that Zhu Houzhao was tired of being with Jiang Bin with a good face all day long, and it was a matter of Longyang.

The eyes of typical patients are full of bacteria - many civil officials have white fat scholars in their homes, and many civil officials have the habit of visiting the Xianggu Pavilion to find a white-faced man after dinner.

The civil official, like Liu Jin, despised Zhu Houzhao. Despised the future Emperor Zhengde.

What outsiders say, Zhu Houzhao doesn't matter. As long as you can successfully achieve the goal of studying military affairs, you can say whatever you like.

One day, like Taizong, Lone will lead thousands of troops and horses into the hinterland of the grassland, so that the northern captives dare not go south to enter the Kou. Protect the peace of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

On this day, Chang Feng was reading a book in the room.

Channing walked in worriedly.

Chang Feng was a little strange: "Didn't you go to the East Palace to be on duty?" How did you get back to the guard? ”

Qian Ning said: "There is a big matter, and my subordinates have to report to Chang Ye." ”

Chang Feng saw Qian Ning's solemn face and asked, "What's the big deal?" ”

Qian Ning said: "Master Chang, I am in charge of the thousands and hundreds of households sent by Jinyiwei to Nanjing and the thirteen provinces. ”

"In the past half month, our robes in various places have frequently progressed to Beijing to play. I've summarized it below. What a weird thing! ”

After speaking, Qian Ning took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and read it in a gloomy tone: "On March 11 of the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, there was an earthquake in Ningxia, and the walls of Ningxia City, which were as thick as one zhang, were shaken down. ”

"Two days later, there was an earthquake in Hangzhou, Jiaxing, Shaoxing, and Ningbo."

"Another day, Nanjing, Suzhou, Songjiang, Changzhou, Zhenjiang, Huai'an, Yangzhou, Ningbo seven earthquakes."

"On March 17, there was an earthquake in Puzhou and Jiezhou, Shanxi."

"On March 18, there was an earthquake in seven counties including Pinglu and Ronghe in Shanxi."

What Qian Ning said is the famous earthquake in the history of earthquakes in the 18th year of Hongzhi, Jiangnan, Ningxia and Shanxi.

Chang Feng gasped after hearing this: "There are earthquakes everywhere in the entire Ming Dynasty? This is really a bad omen. ”

"It stands to reason that in the event of an earthquake, the magistrate should report it to the imperial court. An earthquake of this magnitude should have been reported in the newspaper. But this month's Di Bao did not see a word. ”

Channing chimed in: "Who's to say it's not. ”

Chang Feng analyzed: "It should be deliberately suppressed by the cabinet." The emperor is seriously ill, and if the earthquake in the Ming Dynasty is reported in the palace, it will be spread. It may cause people's hearts to fluctuate. ”

Chang Feng didn't believe in Dong Zhongshu's theory of celestial and human induction before. But at this moment, he couldn't help but believe it.

This is not the twenty-second year of Chenghua, and he used rumors to fabricate "Mount Tai moves, and the East Palace does not move".

Even if someone lies and spreads rumors. It will not be that the dozen or so hundred households sent by Jinyiwei to various places collectively lie and spread rumors.

Could it be that the emperor's destiny has really ended?

Chang Feng was silent with Qian Ning. After a long while, Chang Feng spoke: "You go back to the East Palace." As long as the East Palace is stable, the Ming Dynasty will still be as stable as Mount Tai. ”

At this moment, Qian Neng walked in angrily: "It's too long!" Deceitful! ”

Chang Feng asked, "Duke, what's wrong?" ”

Qian Neng slammed a piece of music on the table: "Look at what Li Mengyang is talking nonsense about!" ”

Li Mengyang has great talents, but he is not a person with a city government. Speak and do things straightforwardly. Therefore, his official fortune is not very constant. He is the world's best, but he is still only a household langzhong.

There is only one word difference between his name and Li Dongyang's, they are both great Confucians and leaders in the literary world, but their official fortunes are one in the sky and one in the underground.

Chang Feng picked up the song, only to see that the title on the cover read, "Li Mengyang, the minister of the Ministry of Households, Shandong Qing Official, said that the current situation has two diseases, three harms, and six gradual things".

Chang Feng was a little strange: "Two diseases, three harms and six gradual? What do you mean? ”

Qian Neng slapped the table: "You can see what it means when you open it." ”

Chang Feng opened the slugging.

The general content of the recital is: The situation is getting worse day by day, and there are two diseases today. The first is the disease of vitality, that is, the morale is declining day by day, and the study style is sluggish.

The second is the disease of the abdomen, that is, the inner eunuch.

Today, there are three evils: one is the harm of the soldiers, the second is the harm of the people, and the third is the harm of the hungry people in the farm.

Now there are six graduals: one is the gradual scarcity, the second is the gradual theft, the third is the gradual disrepute of bad names, the fourth is the gradual abolition of laws and regulations, the fifth is the gradual bewitchment of magic tricks, and the sixth is the gradual arrogance and indulgence of noble relatives.

In the sixth gradation, Li Mengyang also highlighted examples. Relatives Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling recruited scoundrels, fish and meat people, and they were like winged tigers.

After Chang Feng finished reading this letter, he broke out in a cold sweat.

This letter is, to put it bluntly, a complete denial of the prosperity of Hongzhi! Total denial of the Holy Beings of the day!

Chang Feng asked: "Duke, have you seen this recital?" ”

Qian Neng said angrily: "The emperor has seen it!" After reading it, I vomited blood angrily! I will break this fang into pieces! ”

Chang Feng was puzzled: "That's not right." The recital of the emperor must be submitted by the Secretary of General Affairs. ”

"It stands to reason that such a rebellious rhetoric should not be handed over to the palace."

Qian Neng was furious: "Isn't this the lice on Aunt Taishan's buttocks, isn't it an obvious thing?" The civil official sincerely let this performance go unhindered to the dragon case, and plan to kill the emperor alive! ”

"Poor long live us! is sick like this, and insists on reviewing the folds. But he was so insulted by the civil officials! ”

Chang Feng immediately reacted: Li Mengyang, a stunned man, was used as a knife by the civil official group.

Angry with the emperor, the fourteen-year-old young prince ascended the throne. Those civil officials can bully the new emperor and control the government.

Oh, the abacus beads of the civil officials are about to collapse on my Changfeng face!

However, the two diseases, the three evils, and the six gradual things that Li Mengyang said are also true. It's just that he shouldn't pick on the emperor's seriously ill knots.

Chang Feng asked: "Does the emperor have a will?" ”

Qian Neng said: "The emperor has an order to arrest Li Mengyang and put him in prison." ”

Imperial prison, Li Mengyang is not the first time to enter it. The last time he went to prison, it was because the two royal relatives of Zhang and Qian gathered to fight with ruffians. Li Mengyang played the impeachment.

Chang Feng said: "Governor, leave this case to me." ”

Qian Neng said angrily: "If I don't hand it over to you, will it be handed over to the commander Mu Bin?" I know what kind of literary friends Mu Bin and Li Mengyang are. Good enough to wear a pair of pants! ”

"Chang Feng, I want you to use Jinyiwei's most cruel torture on Li Mengyang!"

"A good dog is still a protector! This recital on this fang is equivalent to pointing at the nose and scolding the emperor. Our factory guard has to vent his anger to the emperor. ”

Chang Feng nodded: "Okay, okay." The Governor dissipates his anger first. I'm going to go to the household department to arrest Li Mengyang. ”

The household is just across the street from Jinyiwei.

Not long after, Chang Feng escorted Li Mengyang into the prison interrogation room.

Chang Feng didn't put a yoke on Li Mengyang and put a lock, and asked someone to make him a cup of tea.

Chang Feng asked: "Brother Tianci (Mengyang character), who instructed you to go to this way?" ”

Li Mengyang replied: "The courtiers give the emperor a lesson, and it is their duty to speak bluntly about the disadvantages of the times. Why do you need to be instructed by others? ”

Chang Feng sighed: "You said that the prosperous era of Hongzhi is a ball of black!" Do you think so in your heart? ”

Li Mengyang, the second pole, actually came to say: "The name of the prosperous world is not worthy of the name." ”

Chang Feng slapped the table: "Li Mengyang!" You bastard! Why are you talking nonsense with your eyes open at this moment? ”

"Your bastard played a sloppy role, and said that the prosperous era of Hongzhi was stunned and said that it was a troubled era. Well, let me ask you a question. ”

"In the twenty-three years of the Chenghua Dynasty, how many large-scale civil uprisings have occurred in the world?"

"It has been 18 years since the Hongzhi Dynasty, how many large-scale civil uprisings have occurred in the world?"

Li Mengyang was stunned for a moment and was silent.

Chang Feng said: "It's not that you don't know, but you don't want to say it." Okay, then I'll tell you for you! In the Chenghua Dynasty, there were ten large-scale civil uprisings! Among them, the people of Guangxi and Huguang even forced the imperial court to send more than 100,000 troops to clean up. ”

"Hongzhi Dynasty has not once!"

"Is this what you think the Hongzhi Dynasty is a mess of black?"

Later generations of "folk historians" once set off a huge and comprehensive rejection of Hongzhi Zhongxing movement.

Putting aside the "History of the Ming Dynasty", let's just talk about "Ming Shilu".

According to the "Ming Shilu", there were ten large-scale civil uprisings in the Chenghua Dynasty; Zhengde Dynasty seven times; Jiajing Dynasty nineteen times; Longqing Dynasty once; Twelve times in the Wanli Dynasty; Apocalypse Dynasty twice; The Chongzhen Dynasty is countless, and there is no way to count it, probably more than a hundred times.

The number of large-scale civil uprisings in the Hongzhi Dynasty was zero.

(Note: Large-scale civil unrest refers to more than 30,000 participants, affecting more than two counties)

Li Mengyang did not argue: "You are right. It is a fact that the people of the Hongzhi Dynasty are stronger than those of the Chenghua Dynasty. It is also a fact that there are two diseases, three harms and six gradual progressions. ”

Chang Feng answered: "It's a fact. But when you were seriously ill, you were scheming and plotting against him! ”

"When the emperor is in good health, why don't you play this way?"

Li Mengyang was dumbfounded.

Chang Feng said again: "Ask you again, who instructed you?" ”

Li Mengyang replied: "One person does things and one person is responsible, and I have nothing to do with others when I go to this way." ”

Chang Feng looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahahaha! ”

Li Mengyang asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Chang Feng said: "I laugh at the poetry and literature of the Hongzhi Dynasty, and Li Mengyang, who proposed that 'the text must be Qin and Han, and the poetry must be prosperous in the Tang Dynasty', is a stupid pig!" ”

"A stupid pig who was used as a knife and didn't even know it!"

Li Mengyang asked, "Why did you say this?" ”

Chang Feng made a clear analysis: "Li Mengyang, think about it, when the emperor was seriously ill, will the emperor's condition worsen?" ”

"If the emperor dies, who is the most beneficial?"

"The prince is only fourteen years old. Although he is talented, he lacks experience in governing the country. If the sky falls apart, the Chinese officials of the DPRK will control the government in the name of auxiliary government. ”

"To put it bluntly, some people in the court are looking forward to the emperor's early collapse!"

"And you are a tool to be used by those with bad intentions."

"You've been tricked, you've been tricked! I didn't know that I had done something rebellious. ”

Speaking of which, no matter how stupid Li Mengyang was, he had already reacted.

Chang Feng said: "Ask you again." Who instructed you to go to the tune?! ”

Li Mengyang no longer shielded the people behind him this time: "I really deserve to die!" Don't be greedy! ”

Li Mengyang told such an incident.

Three days ago, Huang Lang, the right general administration of the General Administration Department, held a banquet for more than a dozen officials to drink. Among them is Li Mengyang.

The Department of General Administration has one political envoy for the three products, and one for the left and right of the four products. Huang Lang is one of the high-ranking civil officials in the court.

These dozen or so people have a common characteristic, they are all poets and bureaucrats who love to dance and write.

Literati, they love to complain when they get together.

As the wine was drunk, the topic shifted from poetry to the current situation.

The crowd complained. It doesn't look right here, it doesn't look good there.

Among them, Li Mengyang is especially important. After all, he had been imprisoned for participating in the impeachment of the emperor's relatives.

Li Mengyang is good at summarizing. Starting from the royal relatives and relatives, they have been talking about the declining morale and sluggish style of study.

Huang Lang deliberately provoked Li Mengyang: "Do you dare to write what you said tonight and submit it to the emperor?" ”

Li Mengyang said with the strength of wine: "What don't you dare! Advice is straightforward, the courtier's duty! ”

Huang Lang immediately ordered the servant to bring pen, ink, paper, and inkstone to Li Mengyang. Li Mengyang is worthy of being a giant in the literary world, and it took two moments to write the brilliant "Two Diseases, Three Evils and Six Gradual Thinning".

Huang Lang urged him to send someone back to the house, took the seal, and stamped it on the song.

Then Huang Lang directly took the music away. And put down a guarantee: "I am in charge of the Department of General Affairs." Brother Li, don't worry, I will definitely let this play be put on the dragon case! ”

After sobering up, Li Mengyang actually regretted it a little.

But for the sake of his reputation as a noble and eloquent person, it is not easy for him to pursue Huang Lang.

In this way, he was used as a knife by others.

Chang Feng listened to Li Mengyang's narration and got up directly.

Zhang Cai on the side asked: "Master Chang, do you want to arrest Huang Lang in the General Affairs Department?" ”

Chang Feng shook his head: "No, go to the cabinet first!" I'd like to ask the three Cabinet if they know the inside story of this note! ”
