After Zhu Yuanzhang captured Ning State, he faced the iron-clad fact that Monk Zhu was still able to capture this as solid as an iron barrel without any gaps. As the other states of Jingde, Nanling, Jingxian, and Chizhou that were far inferior to Ning State,

, Lindi and other small cities fell into the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang one after another.

After Zhu Yuanzhang captured Chizhou, Zhu Yuanzhang, who lacked literature and was fond of martial arts but well understood the importance of literati, learned that there was a figure in Chizhou who was highly recommended and loved by everyone.

This man's ancestral home was originally from Xiuning, Anhui Province. He was full of literary talents because he read poetry and books when he was young. When he became an adult, he passed the provincial examination and was awarded the Jinshi Scholarship.

However, after receiving Jinshi, which can be said to be a postgraduate degree, he actively chose to quit as a fresh graduate.

He directly refused the admission test for a higher level and chose to live in seclusion in the mountains.

Only four years after he retired to seclusion, celebrities from the rural areas who were absolutely talented and unwilling to let him fall to his own devices jointly signed a letter and jointly recommended his qualifications to the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty.

In order to recruit talents for their own use and not let them become willing to become helpers of gangsters, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty happily complied with the public opinion and gave this hermit in the public opinion a heavy responsibility.

He was appointed as Chizhou Academic Affairs (equivalent to our current position as Director of the Education Bureau) to be in charge of education-related work.

Faced with this wealthy man who could be said to be a high-ranking official at that time and who could line up his pockets, as an outsider who retired to the mountains and forests but was already accustomed to leisurely clouds, cranes, bridges and flowing water, he was extremely reluctant to get the appointment.

After waiting for four years from the moment he filed the petition, it seemed that he could no longer find any excuses or reasons for taking leave, so he was forced to take office at the age of fifty-two. From the moment he took up the post, he was seen by everyone as being able to squeeze out the soles of his feet.

High-ranking officials are well-paid.

In the eyes of everyone, this immortal who can be said to be extremely difficult to recruit and extremely impressive has finally entered the palace. When he should not have any more troubles when dealing with absolutely busy and tense work tasks every day, he will do so at this level that is already high enough for him.

Spend the rest of your life in that position.

But what no one would have thought is that after three years of working in an academic and administrative position, this absolutely difficult-to-serve old man might have given enough face to the Yuan Dynasty and those who kindly invited him to be an official.

Face, and after having paid his due obligations as a citizen of the Yuan Dynasty, he had no worries and was mentally prepared. He took the lead in giving up his official position and took the initiative to give up his position.

Perhaps he was afraid that he would be discovered by others again and be followed. After voluntarily resigning and before the official resignation document was approved, he left the academic hall and fled south alone.

After escaping from the officialdom, away from the open and secret fights of right and wrong, he once again retreated to the mountains and forests, completely integrating his body and soul into the embrace of nature, and started a new life that had been delayed for three years.

And let him linger and live in seclusion.

While his life in seclusion was slowly passing, in order to relieve his boredom and to promote his unique way of life and his philosophical philosophy of being as calm as water, he opened his own bookstore academy while living a solitary life.

, began his absolutely classic teaching career.

In 1358, the world was in complete chaos, but he met an extraordinary figure who lived in the mountains and let the outside world knock people off their feet despite being struck by thunder from the sky but had nothing to do with him.

When this tall man, but with a cynical face, a pig-kidney face with sunken front and back, appeared in front of him in person, and kindly invited him to help. , but he simply said a few nine-character mottos that were definitely not coping, but could be said to be mantras.

I personally sum up life as a practice, and everyone's life is an ascetic in this practice.

In this practice, there are people who like to live a life of feasting, feasting, paper and money. They are willing to spend their whole lives in this kind of life. I cannot call their life degeneracy, because for these people, it is Hobbies are even more fun. The most typical character here is Hu Weiyong.

In this practice, there is another kind of people who don't care about money and glory, but focus on the absolute power in their hands. Under the rule of power, their empty and rippling souls can be calmed and comforted. When power reaches its peak, From that moment on, he will feel satisfied and satisfied. But when power reaches its peak, they often lose more, inevitably family ties, such as the struggle for power and political competition that comes with it. This kind of power Seizing is also a kind of practice, and Zhu Yuanzhang in this practice is an absolute ascetic-like figure.

There is also a kind of people who don't care about any fame or fortune. They are even more dissatisfied with power and politics. In their eyes, people live only once and for all. Since God has given them the right to enjoy life, they must find ways to do so. To experience the joy of life in which life is like water and everything is like song. Since everyone is an ascetic in the long river of life, why not let yourself live a more relaxed life. In the midst of political wrestling and military strangulation, people's Life is too fragile, and you can never realize the true meaning of life there.

Only by personally stepping into nature and integrating with nature can we feel the flow of blood and the endless flow of life. Although this kind of life lacks a lot of temptations of money and power, it also lacks a lot of material satisfaction and Enjoy, but it has a lot more fun in life. What's more, money and power are outside the body. If you don't bring it with you in life, you won't take it with you in death. If you work hard, everything will turn into dust in the end.

Instead of doing this, it is better to retreat to the mountains and forests and live a life as free and carefree as a wandering cloud and wild crane.

I personally think that this person has seen through this and is willing to live a simple life. However, it is precisely because of his absolutely simple life that he can create his absolutely extraordinary understanding of life.

It is also because of his unique ideological understanding and life wisdom that he has long seen through the world of mortals and is willing to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests. His sharp point of view appears as the most important and fatal political flaw as a revolutionary teacher.

This person's name does not appear many times in the historical records of the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties. It can even be said that it is very rare.

But without his advice, it is absolutely unknown whether Zhu Yuanzhang could have conquered the Ming Dynasty.

To put it bluntly, even if Zhu Yuanzhang did not take over the entire Ming Dynasty with this person's advice, his personal losses would definitely be huge.

It can be said that this person's brief words revealed the fatal key that all revolutionary teams at that time did not possess.

After listening to these nine words, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly took them as the foundation of his country.

Comply with it and implement it strictly.

In the end, he accomplished great things and established the Ming Dynasty, which will be glorious for all ages.

Okay, after all the nonsense, let's get to know this great man.

His name is: Zhu Sheng.

His important achievements only consist of nine simple words, but each of these nine words is extraordinary, and each word is priceless.

These nine-character mottos are: Build walls high, accumulate grain widely, and become king slowly.

These nine words are very simple to explain literally, but absolutely difficult to implement.

Especially the last three words, in front of a politician with huge ambitions, let them not get it when they reach the peak. This kind of psychological obstacle is definitely very difficult to overcome.

I personally feel that it is precisely because Zhu Yuanzhang has such extremely strong psychological qualities and unique psychological qualities that he is distinguished from other heroes. This is also why Zhu Yuanzhang can survive in the struggle for hegemony among the heroes, and in

The fundamental reason for coming out on top in the end.

A character who can endure loneliness and suppress his own desires is the most terrifying existence.

Compared with several other outstanding historical figures, their performance is much inferior.

Although Xiao Ming Wang Han Lin'er, who had long proclaimed the Dragon and Phoenix regime, is now the immediate boss of Dragon and Phoenix Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, in fact he is just a puppet. In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, if it were not for the needs of the current situation, it would not be appropriate to make more powerful enemies.

, he would never remain silent under Han Lin'er and listen to his orders. At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang could also use his power to contain the Yuan Dynasty's offensive, which was mostly heading south.

Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang, one proclaimed themselves king and the other proclaimed themselves emperor. Faced with the attraction of such political names, they were far from Zhu Yuanzhang's perseverance and patience.

As for the absolutely orthodox Yuan Dynasty at that time, as an ace army with absolute power, their performance can only be described as a stick. In terms of performance like a stick, they are more like firefighters.

Under the slogan of whoever is king and who is emperor, troops were quickly assembled to suppress them from high positions.

But for those insurrectionists who only focused on developing their own power, but did not care about their titles and titles, they simply ignored them and allowed them to develop without doing anything.

It was precisely because of this that Zhu Sheng proposed to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang fully absorbed Zhu Sheng's suggestions. From this aspect, Zhu Yuanzhang, who came from a rough background, did have his unique personal abilities.

After Zhu Yuanzhang got what he wanted and satisfied his desires, and felt that Zhu Sheng was a talent that could definitely be used for his own purposes, Zhu Yuanzhang warmly invited Zhu Sheng to serve under him and become his adviser.

But Zhu Sheng's approach allowed Zhu Yuanzhang to truly understand his unique personal ideological consciousness as a hermit and an outsider.

He politely declined Zhu Yuanzhang's invitation.

However, while refusing, Zhu Sheng, who was a generation of civil servants and full of heart-to-heart feelings, under Zhu Yuanzhang's kindness, recommended a figure who was much stronger and more admired than him in his heart. This person lived in Qingtian County, and had passed away.

Living a half-hidden life.

After recommending this person to Zhu Yuanzhang, and after praising this person to the point of blowing the people off, he was afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would once again drag him into the dark officialdom that was extremely boring and intrigues for him. Zhu Sheng, once again

Choose to escape.

As a general, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had already obtained what he wanted, could be said to be satisfied and had gained a lot, faced a wild ass who was even more stubborn and rigid than himself with continuous invitations. What did Zhu Sheng do?

It made him truly realize that there are people and donkeys outside of others. It was also in this extremely embarrassing situation that Zhu Yuanzhang, who felt that there was no need to force others into trouble, chose to give up voluntarily.

It is better to offend military commanders than civil servants.

Today's warm invitation has already given him enough face. I believe he will not try to convince the two masters.

What's more, I already know the location of his lair. If he doesn't know where he is needed in the future, he will directly send people to raid his lair. If he still wants to escape, then he will send a few people to keep an eye on him at any time and identify him.

Wherever he ran, he rested and escaped from the Five Fingers Mountain.

In this case, Zhu Yuanzhang chose to make up or break up.
