This night is destined to be long.

In the harem, there were prayers to pray to God and Buddha in secret and pray to the heavens.

They begged the old man not to die, or in other words, they begged not to take them with him after he died.

There was a bad habit in the Ming Dynasty, and people died!

This brutal and ignorant aristocratic exclusive ritual system has long been despised by history. However, it was reborn in the Ming Dynasty, which was as sunrise as the sun rises.

This is very contradictory. Because the old man was born in a poor family and knew the sufferings of the people, he ordered the custom of banning grand burials many years ago. In his heart, living people are far more important than dead people.

The ancients regarded death as life. Many ancients believed that death was just the death of the body and the soul was still there. Therefore, whether it was a grand burial or a sacrifice, it was all for the purpose of continuing to enjoy the supreme authority and wealth in the other world.

But the old man didn't believe in these things. What he didn't believe in the most in his life was things like gods and ghosts.

But, since he doesn't believe it and doesn't like it, why do you still have to die?

Even the prince who died young and the King of Qin whose cause of death just now had a suspicious death, all the palace people were buried in the tombs. Although the latter, the King of Qin, despite the old man cursing more than once, he still issued an order to let all the women around the King of Qin who served the King of Qin be buried with him.

Among them are the Prince of Qin, the Prince of Qin, the sister of Wang Baobao, the famous general of the Yuan Dynasty, and Guanyin Nu.

The magnificent Ming Dynasty, human sacrifice is really a huge stain.

Based on Zhu Yunxi's understanding of the old man, his behavior of reversing history is actually not difficult to understand.

Although the old man was born a little cold, he had an extremely strong sense of moral integrity and shame.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Neo-Confucianism has been emphasized first, among which the theory of the Three Bonds and Five Constant Persons of Cheng and Zhu Neo-Confucianism, father, son, monarch and ministers, was regarded as the truth. Although Confucius and Mencius were the most sages and teachers of scholars all over the world, the old man sneered at the doctrines of his two people.

The eight-part examination essays are based on Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, among which Zhu Xi's annotation is the most correct. Contemporary scholars who dare to abuse Confucius and Mencius will not dare to be Cheng-Zhu. From emperors to scholars and officials, to ordinary people, loyalty, filial piety, integrity and righteousness have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

This is the virtue advocated by the old man. In his opinion, everyone must be responsible and respect for the superiority and inferiority. People and officials are loyal to the emperor and patriotism, and are diligent and diligent. This is a good social value.

He not only asked the whole world to learn, but also himself. When the prince Zhu Biao was there, Confucian scholars gave him and the prince almost every day. Among them, it involved the famous saying in Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, starvation is small, and loss of integrity is big.

Moreover, every founding emperor would give a profound summary of the reasons for the demise of the previous dynasty.

The old man believed that one of the biggest reasons for the demise of the Yuan Dynasty was that in addition to tyranny, there was also the female disaster.

The emperor at the end of the Yuan Dynasty could not strictly control the palace. When the concubines and daughters of the palace visited foreign ministers, they accepted bribes, and some used gold and silk to monks and Taoists, or other monks entered the palace to take precepts. However, the ministers ordered their wives to go and leave, and they also went to and from bans, which were lewd and chaotic, and the etiquette and law were gone, and they were destroyed.

Not only Yuan, but the old man was even more open to the Han and Tang courts, and he even pinched his eyes. Emperor Gaozu of Han, Emperor Taizong of Tang was also the object of his secret ridicule. Especially the latter, he actually made his son green.

In his words, the country is the family. If all the women in the family are so unfaithful, can the man live a good life? Even if this family has mountains of gold and silver, it will sooner or later be defeated!

Another one is that the harem interferes in politics and eliminates the possibility of foreign relatives becoming bigger. You should know that many concubines in the harem hold important positions in the army.

The old man had a strong moral heart, but because of his low background, he could not come up with a perfect solution. In the end, he could only sacrifice his life.

Simple and crude, direct and effective.

In the bedroom, looking at the old man on the bed, Zhu Yunqiu fell into trouble.

The old man was still hearing what he wanted to take away, but if the old man really left, he would definitely not be able to do anything, so many living people would be buried with him!

As he thought about it, Zhu Yunxiu lay beside the old man and fell asleep in a daze.

~~~~

Compared to those in the palace, those outside the palace have much more complicated thoughts.

Some people don’t want the old man to die, but some people don’t want it, but they don’t hope that the old man can turn good and danger into safety when he encounters misfortune.

The old man is a harsh monarch. He is not good at being his subject, mediocre, not doing wrong things, not saying too much, not saying too little, not making up gangs and nepotism. It is not good at embezzlement and bribery.

Think about how many people were killed in several major cases during the Hongwu period, the empty seal case, the Ministry of Revenue fraud case, the Hu Weiyong case, and the Li Shanchang case. What happened in the latter two political struggles did not count. The first two cases of corruption and fraud were killed in total about 70,000 people.

All the officials were killed. At that time, the court, from the Ministry of Revenue to the local governing departments, almost all the officials were killed. If the prince Zhu Biao had not stopped him, he would have killed more people. In the end, officials from all over the world went to five or six times, with only one official position but no one was chosen. He could only select students from the Imperial College and other institutions to become officials.

Even so, the country's government affairs were in chaos. In no way, the old man ordered a probation and beheading. All the criminals first worked in shackles, and then they were killed after the subsequent new officials were selected.

Therefore, some people think in their hearts, will life be easier if the new king ascends the throne?

The new king ascended the throne and the dynasty is a new atmosphere. At that time, everyone will no longer be worried and no longer be afraid of the current strict punishment and law.

Compared with these officials, the founding nobles have more complicated thoughts.

They were afraid of the old man, and they were afraid to the heart. They also had some complaints about the old man killing heroes a few years ago, but the old man suddenly fell ill, and they were more at a loss.

They have been listening to the old man’s words for their whole lives and doing whatever they ask them to do.

At first, the old man was their elder brother, later the old man was their lord, and later the emperor. The ranks of the monarch and ministers were very strict, and they did not dare to overthrow the enemy at all. But now, there was a bit of old friendship in my heart, and I dared not speak out, so I could only secretly slander.

On the iron hat street, in the guest room in the front yard of the founding Duke Chang Mansion, Lan Yu sat quietly at the window, looking at the dark sky, like a statue.

He has been in the capital for several days. He dared not leave his hometown without an imperial edict, and he dared not leave the capital without an imperial edict.

He saw everything about the daily residence today and heard it in his ears. He suddenly heard that the emperor might not be able to do it, but he was stunned for a moment.

Logically speaking, he should be happy! He should dance and wait for the imperial edict of the new emperor at home, and return to the court.

However, what surged in his heart was a deep sadness. There was no trace of fame, wealth, and only a kind of confusion. He had thought countless times about what would happen to him when this day came. But when it really came, all the grudges and grudges were completely forgotten in an instant.

The only thing that can be recalled, or that keeps coming to my heart, is the past!

There is no moon in the sky, and there is no light on the earth.

The candlelight in the room was very dim, and Lan Yu was dressed up by the lights obviously deliberately.

My hair was neatly combed, my thick beard was carefully repaired, and my clothes were spotless.

He sat quietly like this, as if waiting for something. Occasionally, the flames of candles pounded, reflecting the deep sorrow hidden in his pupils.

The past is picturesque, vivid in my mind, and the pictures in my mind begin to reappear.

Are you Lan Xiaoer?

The picture in my mind went back to the past. At that time, the emperor was not the emperor, and everyone was called the lord.

The emperor was not old at that time, and he was in his thirties at the best age for a man. He had just occupied Jinling for a while and was full of ambitions. He sat in the handsome tent, laughing and watching as he was summoned, looking a little restrained and very young.

A few days ago, you made a contribution and saved our food and grass. A great contribution! The emperor was wearing mottled iron armor, and his way was full of clanging sounds. He patted Lan Yu's shoulder with his big hand, causing his body to stagger.

Say, what do you want us to reward you? Gold? Silver? Woman? The emperor smiled heartily. As long as we have it, you can just speak!

Lan Yu lowered her head in fear and did not dare to speak.

Hey, why are you so hardworking like this young man! You are not a good man and you are unhappy! The emperor continued to laugh and said, "If you follow us, you have to act like a life-long attitude!"

Lan Yu looked up and looked at the commander whom he loved. I don’t want to be a quarantine, I want to go to war! Be a vanguard!

OK! The emperor laughs, this is a good man! I will give you two thousand cavalrymen and be the vanguard of the cavalry!

Thinking of this, Lan Yu was sitting quietly with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Suddenly, the picture in my mind changed again.

The emperor has become the emperor and his face is a little old.

At that time, I was in my prime and was full of energy.

The 200,000 army held high the blue-character flag and prepared to go north to attack the remnants of the Mongol Yuan.

Waiter! Go and bring us more heads of Tartars! Before leaving, the emperor toasted outside the Daming Gate and held up the golden cup and said, "We heard a word, but let the flying generals in Longcheng be there, and it's not a Huma crossing the Yin Mountain!"

Bastard! If the Tartars don’t come over, they are famous generals? In the army, the emperor shouted loudly. Our famous generals in the Ming Dynasty are not dogs who watch the gate, nor do they say that they will make contributions if they guard the gate. Our Ming men either don’t fight, and if they want to fight, they will destroy their seeds and their country!

Your Majesty, don’t worry, if you don’t defeat the Tartars, Lan Yu will come to see you!

I have done this bowl of wine! After I come back, I will take the prince to celebrate your contributions personally!

Dry!

When the army set out for war, Lan Yu looked back immediately. The emperor stood at the top of the city and waved his hand with the help of the prince.

Thinking of this, a tear fell.

Your Majesty! Lan Yu choked and murmured to himself.

Suddenly, noisy footsteps came from the front yard, and the sound of people from the Chang family opening the door.
Chapter completed!
