The fifth round: rebounding the popular uprising

The gentleman with an angry face had to let Cunyi tell the reason for the ring ruler in his hand. Although Cunyi was young, he was not surprised, and he told him how he would get to the wooden house. After listening to Cunyi's narration, Mr. felt that this child was eloquent and liked it very much. On closer inspection, I saw that the child's face was beautiful, his eyes were like stars, and there were rows of broken jade teeth, neat and neat.

The gentleman was very fond of the well-behaved Cunyi, and he then asked Cunyi, have you ever read a book? Cunyi didn't understand what it meant to read, so he asked Mr., "What is reading?" After hearing this, the gentleman changed the way of questioning, and he asked Cunyi what he thought about the article he had just heard. Seeing the gentleman's questioning, Cunyi first memorized the entire "Analects", and then explained the annotations of the "Analects" that Mr. spoke with his own understanding.

After listening to the recitation of Cunyixing, Mr. was taken aback, the child in front of him was gifted and intelligent, and he was a good material for learning, and if he could guide him well, his son would become a great tool in the future. Mr. intends to accept Cunyi as an apprentice, so he asked about some of the situation in the family, and Cunyi told Mr. Cunyi that his family was displaced here due to the disaster, his parents died, and now he lives with his grandfather and father-in-law and mother-in-law. After listening to Cunyi's narration, Mr. felt a sour feeling in his heart.

Mr. told him about his idea of teaching Cunyi, and Cunyi said that he would go home and discuss it with his father-in-law, and Mr. nodded. At this time, Cunyi knew that because of his playfulness, the sheep was still in the hillside, and after he said goodbye to his husband, he flew back and ran back.

After Cunyi left, the gentleman asked the three urchins if they could know Cunyi. The three urchins only said that they often saw people herding sheep at the bottom of the hillside, but they didn't know if it was him, and they didn't know anything about the rest. Seeing that the three children who had been painstakingly cultivated were not as good as the righteousness, he knew the importance of talent, and expected that even if these three children worked hard, their future achievements would be limited.

Cunyi searched for it, where did he see the sheep? When it was sinking in the west, the father-in-law was afraid that Cunyi would be lost and went up the mountain to look for him, and saw him sitting on the slope crying, and after careful questioning, he learned that the sheep had been lost, so he comforted Cunyi with kind words and went home with his hand.

After dinner, the father-in-law called Cunyi to his side and said to him, "Son, I know that you have always been sensible, but today you must have encountered something that distracted you. Cunyi told his father-in-law about the fact that he had met a teacher in the wooden house and that he wanted to take him as an apprentice. The father-in-law pondered for a moment, he thought that the child would not be a long-term plan for shepherding sheep and farming all day long, and if he could reach the top, his old bones would also be honorable.

Then he asked Cunyi, do you like to read? Cunyi nodded and told his father-in-law that he liked that gentleman very much. Although he had never heard of one of the articles he taught, he listened to him read it outside the house and memorized it completely. The father-in-law asked Cunyi to recite it to him, and after Cunyi recited, a bright smile appeared on his father-in-law's face covered with deep lines. This child has a bright heart and bright eyes, and he will definitely be promising.

Yang Quanbao, the father-in-law, took out a bronze key from his bosom, opened a vermilion wooden box, took out a book and a silver ingot from it, and said to Cunyi: "Tomorrow you will give this silver to Mr. and beg him to take you as an apprentice. ”

Cunyi took the book, wrapped it properly, and returned the money to his father-in-law. He said to his father-in-law, "Sir, let me ask you if you would like to go to school?" The stepfather nodded in agreement, and asked Cunyi to tell his grandfather Zhao Da and his stepmother about the happy event.

The rooster crowed three times, and dawn quietly came, and Cunyi was about to go up the mountain to chop wood, when the gentleman he had met in the wooden house earlier was already standing outside the door. Seeing Mr. Cunyi coming, he took him by the hand and invited him into the house. Yang Baoquan and Zhao Da saw that there were guests at home, and they were busy serving tea and water. The gentleman bowed and thanked him. Cunyi's stepmother is cooking delicious side dishes in the kitchen.

The husband explained his intentions, and the stepfather agreed to the proposal because he had prepared in advance. Now I only look at Zhao Da's thoughts, how dare Zhao Da call the shots in his heart, he is just a subordinate of the Yang Mansion, and he should not pretend to be the young master's grandfather, how can he interfere indiscriminately in the young master's life.

Yang Quanbao saw that Zhao Da did not express his position, thinking that he did not approve of the matter of Cunyi's apprenticeship in his heart, so he pulled up his sleeve and gestured, Zhao Da knew that his righteous brother was interceding for Cunyi, and seeing Cunyi's expectant look, he nodded and agreed. Cunyi apprenticeship, a great joy in the family, the father-in-law slaughtered chickens and sheep, and prepared good wine to entertain Mr. He also ordered Cunyi to kneel down and serve tea, Mr. stroked his long beard, smiled and took Cunyi's tea, and the two officially became masters and apprentices.

After Mr. accepted Cunyi as an apprentice, he taught what he had learned in his life. The understanding of righteousness is very high, and he can not only integrate what Mr. has learned, but also draw inferences from one another. Therefore, in the five years of water, Cunyi is still in his weak years, but he is already a knowledgeable little Hongru who is only eight buckets old. Mr. not only imparted the knowledge of cunyi, but also taught him the excellent quality of loyalty and love for the people. Cunyi took his teachings to heart and aspired to be a useful person for the country. He likes to listen to the story of Yue Fei who is loyal to him, and often tells Yue Fei's deeds of serving the country to his father-in-law. However, every time Zhao Da heard Cunyi talk about Yue Fei, his face showed a sad look, and Cunyi sometimes saw him secretly wiping away tears in the corner. Cunyi once asked him why he was so sad? Zhao Da prevaricated the past on the grounds of missing his hometown.

Cunyi is smart and clever, Zhao Da knows how long can he hide his homesick lies? Zhao Da hoped that Cunyi would be able to get ahead by studying hard, and after getting a high-ranking official, he could eradicate Wei Zhongxian, a thief who deceived the king and harmed the people, but he was afraid that the tragic fate of his master would befall the young master. He tossed and turned in bed like this, so that he didn't close his eyes all night.

The measures to rejuvenate the country and benefit the people formulated by Zhang Juzheng, the chief assistant of Shenzong, were all abolished by the eunuch Wei Zhongxian in the Xizong Dynasty. After the murder of Yang Lian, the patriarch of the Three Dynasties, the wise men who were loyal and pure resigned one after another to escape the persecution of Wei Zhongxian. Xizong was stupid and incompetent, only knew how to fiddle with woodwork, Wei Zhongxian relied on flattery to win a high position, and frantically attacked people who disagreed with his political views, not only that, but he also formulated all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes to exploit the people. With the increasing severity of land annexation in the late Ming Dynasty, the people lost the basis of their lives, were displaced, froze to death and starved to death, and the corpses were scattered all over the field. If you do not govern benevolently, you will inevitably be punished by heaven.

In the winter of the year Yang Lian was killed, a large explosion occurred at the Wanggong factory in southwest Kyoto. The nearby houses instantly became a piece of rubble, and the Qianqing Palace, the main palace of the palace, was also seriously damaged in this explosion, and the flying tiles killed many palace maids and eunuchs, and what is even more tragic is that the crown prince Zhu Cijiong was also stoned to death in the palace. The ministers unanimously believed in their hearts that this was God's punishment for the Ming Dynasty, because Zhongjuan's interference in politics has been the source of national chaos since ancient times. When the ten permanent servants of the Han Dynasty were in chaos, strange celestial phenomena also appeared.

The plaything Xizong felt the horror of this explosion at this time, and he called Wei Zhongxian to his side and asked how to explain this celestial phenomenon. Wei Zhongxian knew that the Holy Lord would inevitably inquire about him, so he informed all the ministers who were close to him in advance, told them to unify their tone, and warned the eunuchs of the Internal Affairs Office that anyone who dared to talk nonsense would have to die an ugly death.

The emperor ordered Wei Zhongxian to investigate the explosion, and Wei Zhongxian knew that another courtier was taking advantage of this celestial phenomenon to make his enemies. He ordered the agents of the East Factory to start a large-scale hunting operation, framing them as the masterminds of the explosion. Xizong read Wei Zhongxian's interrogation transcript and specially ordered him to act cheaply, Wei Zhongxian killed the people in prison unscrupulously, and since then there have been countless lonely ghosts and ghosts on the Huangquan Road.

Wei Zhongxian's cruelty and viciousness finally aroused public resentment, and Xu Hongru, a villager in Juye, Shandong, mobilized the villagers to revolt under the banner of "punishing Wei thieves and protecting the community". However, the eunuch Wei Zhongxian suppressed all the emergency documents, and in order to alleviate his unfavorable situation, the Wei thief sent Dongchang masters to assassinate the leaders of the people, and let the spies infiltrate the rebel army to spread rumors and provoke discord among the generals. In the end, Xu Hongru was betrayed by traitors, and Wei Zhongxian ordered Xu Hongru's parents and cronies and generals to be sentenced to death.

The cold wind, like weeping, dried up the blood of the martyrs in the cold court, but the fire of angry revenge was burning in the winter night, and the loyal souls not far from the sky were guarding the orphans of the Yang family, waiting for him to grow up and settle the blood debt of the Wei thief.
