Chapter 39 Gift of Pills

Warat, the Yuan Dynasty called the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty called Wara.

During the Yuan Dynasty, the Warat and the Mongol propers were in a juxtaposed relationship, and the two sides intermarried with each other.

By the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the royal family of the Yuan Dynasty declined, and the Golden Family was driven to the desert and became the Tatar tribes.

During the Hongwu period in the early Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty used troops against the Tatars, so that the leader of Warat, Mengke Timur, took advantage of the time to rise up and annexed the various tribes to expand their strength.

In the eighth year of Yongle, the Emperor Yongle conquered Tatar in the north, and the Tatar gradually declined, and Warat took the opportunity to go south.

As a result, the journey of the Yongle Emperor's five expeditions to the desert began.

Strictly speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang did not know that there was a Warat tribe behind the Tatars.

It's really that the Warat tribe at this time is too small to attract his attention at all.

"I see, it's really a barbarian with wolf ambitions."

After listening to Zhu Quan's explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized, and said hatefully: "If you are not of my race, your heart will be different!" ”

"This is an irreconcilable contradiction between agrarian peoples and nomadic peoples, and it has been the case since ancient times."

Zhu Quan shook his head, not only the Ming Dynasty had border troubles, but also all dynasties.

From the Siyi in the Xia and Shang periods, the dog Rong in the Zhou Dynasty, to the Xiongnu in the Spring and Autumn Qin and Han dynasties, to the Wuhu in the late Jin Dynasty, and the Turks in the Sui and Tang dynasties.

It was a conflict between agrarian peoples and nomadic peoples, or a competition between civilization and barbarism.

In peacetime, the two sides are economic and cultural exchanges; In times of conflict, it is the plundering of land and wealth.

Historically, the Han people crossed to the south three times, all of which were related to the invasion of nomads.

The first time was due to the Wuhu Chaohua, the Han people in the Central Plains crossed south to Jiangxi and Liangguang for the first time in later generations.

The second time was due to the Anshi Rebellion of the Tang Dynasty, the Hu people in the north invaded the Central Plains, and during the chaotic Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, a large number of Central Plains people moved south for the second time.

The third time was due to the shame of Jingkang, the Northern Song Dynasty perished, and Zhao Jiumei established the Southern Song Dynasty in Hangzhou, forcing the Central Plains people to move south for the third time.

"Then you will be able to solve this problem in the future?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded approvingly and asked curiously.

"Turning foreign barbarians, beasts and beasts, fearing power but not virtue! If it is not my race, the strong will be robbers, and the weak will be humble, regardless of kindness and righteousness, and its nature is also. ”

Zhu Quan shook his head and said, "Only a dead alien is a good alien!" ”

He didn't want to talk too much about this topic, if he talked too much, it would be easy to provoke the mysterious Harmony Divine Beast.

"Then tell us about the cabinet, what does this thing mean?"

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't ask more, but agreed with his words.

"The cabinet can be said to be an extension of the power of the prime minister."

The topic shifted to the cabinet, and Zhu Quan began to gush endlessly: "Let's start from the beginning, let's talk about Xiangquan first." ”

"The so-called relative power can be subdivided into three powers: parliamentary power, decision-making power, and administrative power."

"Since His Majesty abolished the prime minister system two years ago, the prime minister's power has completely disappeared."

"Your Majesty divided the administrative power into the six Shangshu, and the decision-making power and parliamentary power were placed in the hands of the emperor."

"It was also from the abolition of the prime minister system that the imperial power reached an unprecedented peak, and it was truly self-respecting and self-serving."

"But in this way, although the emperor has great power, he also bears a more important mission."

"There is a saying in our posterity that if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight."

"If the emperor is wise, then it's okay to say, but if the emperor is mediocre, won't he want to lose the country?"

After that, Zhu Quan looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with an inquiring expression.

According to historical records, Zhu Yuanzhang was diligent in government and loved the people, never slackened, got up every day on the fourth watch, and hung his clothes with pieces of government affairs paper.

The real ones get up earlier than the chickens, sleep later than the dogs, and work more than the cows.

But not every Ming Emperor is called Zhu Yuanzhang.

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty behind them are more lazy than the other, and each is more wonderful than the other.

"You mean, the descendants of the Ming Dynasty are very mediocre?"

Zhu Yuanzhang quickly understood the meaning of his words, widened his eyes, and asked.

He remembered that Zhu Quan said that the Ming Dynasty had more than 270 years of national glory.

Then, the Ming Dynasty will not lose the country in a short time.

There is only one problem, the emperors behind are too mediocre.

Why, is it because of the Cabinet?

"After the fourth brother ascended the throne, he changed his name to Yongle, and he set up a cabinet to delegate a part of the parliamentary power to the counselor of Hallym University."

Zhu Quan did not answer his question, but continued: "During the Yongle period, although the cabinet ministers accompanied the monarch to participate in politics, their official ranks were only five grades, and they had no jurisdiction over the six ministries, and their influence in the court was extremely limited, and they could not be compared with the prime minister. ”

"During the Hongxi period when Gao Chi's nephew ascended the throne, the cabinet system was modified, and all ministers of the cabinet were given the title of squire and scholar, changed into crimson official robes, and had the 'right to vote', and the cabinet's parliamentary power was further improved."

"At this time, although the cabinet is not yet able to lead the six ministries, their power has gradually surpassed the six ministries, and the first minister of the cabinet is also known as the first assistant, quite a prime minister."

"Hundreds of officials like to hold together, and when the cabinet has more parliamentary power, the officials of the DPRK and China will gradually move closer to the cabinet ministers, huddle together to keep warm, and form a civilian-official group."

"However, although the cabinet has the power to vote, the real power and decision-making power are still tightly held in the hands of the emperor, which is far from the prime minister of the past."

"However, Gao Chi's nephew died after only ten months as emperor, and his son Zhan Ji succeeded to the throne during the Xuande period."

"In order to check and balance the civil official group led by the cabinet, Junji has appointed the celebrant among the twelve eunuchs of the inner court."

"All cabinet tickets submitted by the cabinet need to be approved by the eunuchs of the celebrant and the eunuch with palm prints before they are submitted to the emperor's imperial case."

"This is the 'red right' that Junki's kid made up, and it is used to compete with the cabinet's 'voting power'."

I have to say that the emperors of the Ming Dynasty are very smart, and the way of balancing power and scheming is really slippery.

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji are also very interesting, one is making up the right to issue votes, and the other is making up the right to approve red.

Come on, hurt each other, see who can play whom.

"Gao Chi, that kid, died after only ten months as an emperor?"

"The right to vote and the right to approve red"

Lao Zhu is an eye-opener, these descendants are really better than one another.

For the little chubby dun of the fourth family, Lao Zhu still has a little impression, and he has hugged it.

But I didn't expect that little guy to die after only ten months as an emperor?

"The system of mutual checks and balances between civil officials and eunuchs started with the two of them and continued until the fall of the Ming Dynasty."

"In the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Yongzheng set up a military aircraft department on the basis of the cabinet."

"The most important person in the cabinet is selected to be on duty to write it for the purpose of dealing with urgent military affairs and assisting the emperor in handling government affairs."

"The Military Aircraft Department has the overall military and political power, and it is completely under the direct control of the emperor, which is equivalent to the emperor's private secretary."

The words have already been said here, Zhu Quan did not hide it, and told Lao Zhu about the advantages and disadvantages of the cabinet and the military aircraft department.

"Let's go back and talk about the pros and cons of the Cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department."

"First, consolidate imperial power."

One of them said and the other listened, and they spoke carefully and listened more seriously.

Zhu Yuanzhang took out a pen and paper and recorded the key points that Zhu Quan said.

He plans to record the strengths and weaknesses of the Cabinet and the Military Aircraft Division, and then consider whether to set them up later.

Not to mention anything else, even for the sake of the health of the eldest Ah Biao, he can't turn a blind eye.

It wasn't until Zhu Quan told all the details of the cabinet and the military aircraft department that Zhu Yuanzhang let him go.

"It's terrible to call Lao Zhu"

After leaving the palace, Zhu Quan breathed a sigh of relief.

I was dragged to talk for most of the day, and I couldn't stop for a moment, it was too terrifying.

But then again, it's still very cool to be able to give a lecture to the emperor.

Back at King Ning's Mansion, Zhu Quan had dinner and rested for a while.

He lay on the bed, opened the chat group, and complained:

"Brothers, today I was taught by Lao Zhula for a day"

Parallel world, Koko Motoro.

"Xiaobao has a chance, okay, good, good."

In the newly bought house, Zhong Daqiang patted Wang Xiaobao's shoulder, old tears and old relief.

If it weren't for his old comrades-in-arms who saved his life on the battlefield, how could he be where he is today?

When he received a letter from his old comrade-in-arms saying that he wanted to entrust his son to him, he was ecstatic.

Now the son of his comrade-in-arms has a future, and he has just been here for more than a month and bought a mansion of more than 1,000 square feet in full.

Even if he dies now, he can be worthy of the life-saving grace of his comrades.

"Uncle Zhong, this is just the beginning, I will make more money in the future, and I will be good to Hongmei for the rest of my life."

"By the way, these are my ancestral two health pills, Uncle Zhong and my aunt should eat them."

After becoming famous, Wang Xiaobao did not float, he knew that he was just a copyist.

can write "Zhu Xian", which is completely a plug-in ability, and it is not an accident.

Compared with the excitement of Uncle Zhong Daqiang's family, he took out two longevity pills with a light face.

"Okay, okay, Xiaohong will leave it to you, I don't worry."

Zhong Daqiang took the pill, thinking that it was really a health pill, and he didn't care too much.

Subsequently, he left with his wife and children satisfied, leaving only Wang Xiaobao and Zhong Chuhong.

In the room, Wang Xiaobao hugged Zhong Chuhong's waist, and the two were so close that they could even feel each other's breathing.

"Sister Hong, this will be our home from now on."

The girl's fragrance came to her nose, and Wang Xiaobao leaned her face over.

"Yes, our home"

Zhong Chuhong's face was flushed, and he was a little expectant and a little scared about what was going to happen next.

"Knock Knock"

Just as their lips touched, there was a slow, rhythmic knock on the door.

You can tell that the person knocking on the door is very polite.

With such a change, the two people who were so frightened that they ate the forbidden fruit hurriedly separated.

When they looked at each other, they both saw the embarrassment and smiles on each other's faces.

"Go open the door and see who's coming."

Zhong Chuhong pushed him away and said shyly.

"Who?"

Wang Xiaobao reluctantly opened the door and shouted in his mouth.

"Is Mr. Wang Xiaobao at home?"

A familiar voice sounded outside the door, and Wang Xiaobao seemed familiar.

opened the door, and there were Bruce Lee and the editor-in-chief of Oriental Daily Zhou standing outside.

"Brother Xiaolong, Editor-in-Chief Zhou, why are you here?"

"Please come in, Sister Hong, make tea quickly, and soak the best Tieguanyin in my drawer."

Seeing the two people outside the door, Wang Xiaobao was very excited and invited the two into the door.

"Wang Sheng, take the liberty of disturbing."

Editor-in-chief Zhou smiled and offered the gift with both hands, and said politely.

"Brother Xiaobao, excuse me, congratulations on moving to a new home."

Bruce Lee also took out the gift and said with a smile: "A small gift is not a tribute." ”

"You're welcome, please take a seat."

Wang Xiaobao did not refuse, and after receiving the gifts of the two with both hands, he invited the two to the living room to serve tea.

After the three of them sat down on the sofa, Zhong Chuhong made tea and brought it over, and the three of them drank the tea.

After a polite discussion, Wang Xiaobao asked straight to the point: "Editor-in-chief Zhou, are you here for the new book?" ”

"Indeed, when I learned that you had a new book, it was a sleepless day."

Editor-in-Chief Zhou had a smile on his face and said, "Wang Sheng, can you let me read the new book?" ”

"It's okay, Brother Xiaolong, Editor-in-Chief Zhou, you sit down for a while, I'll go get the manuscript."

Wang Xiaobao got up and went to the study and took out a manuscript with the first 100,000 words in a drawer.

On the first page of the manuscript, there are two big characters: Zichuan.

After receiving the manuscript, Editor-in-Chief Zhou couldn't wait to read it, and soon immersed himself in the story.

The mythical Xichuan Continent, humans, demons, and races from the Far East... One by one.

The blend of blood and fire, the collision of knives and swords, and the interweaving of fascination and mystery open up a huge epic.

"Brother Xiaolong, are you done filming "Game of Death"?"

Taking advantage of Editor-in-Chief Zhou's efforts to read the manuscript, Wang Xiaobao and Bruce Lee talked.

"I'm here to say goodbye to you this time, and a new drama "Enter the Dragon" has opened in the United States, so I suspended the filming of "Game of Death".

Bruce Lee took a sip of Tieguanyin, his brows furrowed slightly, he grew up in the United States and was not used to drinking ancient Chinese tea.

"Oh? Clash of the Dragons? Listen to the name and know that it is a great film, the little brother toasts Brother Xiaolong, and wishes Brother Xiaolong a smooth shooting. ”

Wang Xiaobao has heard of this film, which is an action movie co-produced by Jiahe Pictures and Huana Pictures.

Directed by Robert Cross, starring Bruce Lee, Mao Ying, Sammo Hung, Shi Jian and others.

In July, it was released in the United States and achieved an astonishing box office, beating many Hollywood blockbusters released at the same time, and a new Hollywood kung fu movie was born.

"Borrow your good words, haha."

The two touched a cup, and Bruce Lee smiled.

Obviously, the two have known each other for a short time, but they are like-minded, just like old friends.

"By the way, Brother Xiaolong, my ancestor passed down two pills."

After taking a sip of tea, Wang Xiaobao took out a wooden box and handed it over, saying, "I heard that there is a lot of chaos in the United States, so you can take it with you to defend yourself." ”

The wooden box contained the pills he had purchased from the group mall, one was a disease dispelling pill and the other was a marrow washing pill.

"Handed down from your ancestors? I can't take this, take it back. ”

When Bruce Lee heard this, how could he win people's love, so he hurriedly excused himself.

"Brother Xiaolong, don't shirk yet, you listen to me."

Wang Xiaobao held his hand and explained: "I'm very curious about acting in movies, and I want to trouble Brother Xiaolong to bring me into the industry." ”

"These two pills are considered my qualifications, what does Brother Xiaolong think?"

It's March, and it's not long since Bruce Lee's death.

Wang Xiaobao was afraid that he would not be able to catch up, so he gave him these two pills first.

As for making movies, it's just an excuse.

"Okay."

"I'll take it first, and when I come back from the United States, I'll teach you how to make a movie."

Bruce Lee thought about it, so he didn't shirk anymore and put away the pill.

The two hit it off at first sight, not as brothers, but as brothers.

I made up my mind that since Wang Xiaobao wanted to act in a movie, I would take him into the industry and teach him well.

"It's okay, I'll talk about it when you get back."

Seeing him accept it, the big stone in Wang Xiaobao's heart fell to the ground.

"Okay, good, it's unstoppable. It's so exciting! ”

At this time, Editor-in-Chief Zhou finally finished reading the first 100,000 words of "Zichuan".

He slapped his thigh with excitement on his face.
