I don’t know what Li Muxian and Haihong said. The usually calm monk seemed to be angry. He walked to the riverside, washed his face and stared at the river in a daze. He suddenly stood up and raised his hand to chop down a tree next to him.
, only to hear a click, the tree trunk as thick as a bowl was split open.
The sound of trees breaking was loud, but many of the soldiers around him were sleeping soundly, but Wu Shu, who was chatting with Chang Yu, was startled and said, following the sound, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. This monk practices Neijiaquan, and his skills are so profound: "Du Gong
There really is a crouching tiger, hidden dragon around you.”
Chang Yu smiled and thought to himself that you think you are noble and your eyes are higher than the top. Maybe you can realize it and work hard to be able to follow your master in the future.
"The monk is angry for some reason. Master Wu went to have a chat with him to see if he can relieve his inner demons." Chang Yu said with a half-smile, Wu Shu was startled, and then nodded: "Okay, maybe listening to Buddhist teachings can help."
Get rid of me, a common man." He stood up and walked over there.
Chang Yu didn’t know why Monk Haihong was angry, but it must have something to do with Li Muchian. This guy has been looking for opportunities to cause trouble for the monk these two days, and it probably has something to do with him, but Chang Yu has no interest in interfering with this kind of thing, as long as no lives are involved.
, follow them.
Seeing the white clouds in the sky and the cool breeze by the lake, Chang Yu lay back and closed his eyes, and unconsciously fell asleep.
I vaguely realized that I was dreaming, the sound of killing was loud, and the flames of war were raging, but I couldn't see an enemy. I was wondering when I suddenly realized that this was not a dream about fighting, but thunder. Then I opened my eyes, and sure enough, the sky was covered with dark clouds.
There was a muffled thunder in my ears.
It was a sunny day just now, but suddenly it was covered with dark clouds. Chang Yu stood up and looked around, and saw many soldiers were awakened by the thunder, rubbing their sleepy eyes, sitting or standing at a loss. Raining is a good thing, but Chang Yu had to eat
After going through the pain of marching in the rain, he felt extremely unwilling to do so. He would rather march while staring at the scorching sun than to rush like a drowned rat. It was too uncomfortable, cold, wet and sticky.
But there are so many days that people can follow their wishes. In the trance, the sky has begun to rain. Chang Yu quickly yelled and cut some branches to build an awning... Only then did the soldiers come to their senses and quickly drew their swords to start.
Cutting grass and trees, and scrambling to build rain shelters with local materials in the woods.
Fortunately, the rain was not a violent storm at first, but gradually became heavier. When the downpour came, the soldiers had already hid under the hay shed. Although they were still getting wet, they would not end up drowned.
The weather was changing at any time. The soldiers were whispering, and one person said: "This is the rainy season in the south. It rains at random, and sometimes it can rain for more than ten days. It's not surprising."
For more than ten days... everyone was stunned.
Chang Yu didn't go to the village to take shelter from the rain. He was also in the awning in the woods by the lake. It was just much more spacious than elsewhere. He frowned as he looked at the dense fishing lines outside: "If this rain doesn't stop, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up tomorrow."
It’s Nanjing,” Kuang Ren whispered beside him.
However, what made Chang Yu frown was not the fear of delaying his journey, but the army at the rear. Marching in heavy rain is naturally difficult, which not only affects the schedule but also affects the morale of the troops. Many military disturbances occur during the march in heavy rain and snow, and the worst can cause
Military morale was low, which was not a good thing before the war.
It rains heavily, the city is full of spring vegetation...
It also started raining in Nanjing, and it was very cool.
In a teahouse by the Qinhuai River next to Tongji Gate, Chunxiang and Gao Wencai were watching the riverside scenery from the window on the second floor and whispering in low voices, telling them about the strange things last night. Gao Wencai smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Nanjing is indeed like a factory.
As I said, the water is too deep."
"No matter how deep the water is, it can't flood our East Factory, right?" Chunxiang snorted coldly: "How about you here?"
Gao Wencai was originally a member of the Jinyiwei family. He was poached to Dongchang by Chang Yu a few months ago, but he still came to Nanjing on business as a Jinyiwei. He brought a group of people to handle official business directly at the Jinyiwei Yamen in Nanjing. Of course, this was just his appearance.
Work, secretly began to arrange chess pieces, collect various intelligence in Nanjing City, and now have placed spies throughout Nanjing City, bribed a large number of informants, and set up several secret footholds.
Why do this?
The reason is very simple. In recent years, the imperial court has gradually lost control of the Jiangnan area. Even the second capital of the Ming Dynasty is also losing control. The imperial court is almost blind and deaf to the people and things here, and cannot see or hear what is really happening.
thing.
"There is a saying in Nanjing that Nanjing is not the capital of the Ming Dynasty, but the capital of the Wei State." Gao Wencai looked around and chuckled in a low voice.
Chunxiang was startled and didn't understand the reason.
Gao Wen used tea and wrote "Wei" on the table: "Wei Guo, Wei Guogong".
Chunxiang suddenly realized: "Are you really reaching for the sky with one hand like this?"
"The Xu family is a time-honored noble family. No one can surpass it since the founding of the country by Emperor Taizu, and it was second to none when Emperor Chengzu was...not to mention that the Nanjing lineage and Emperor Chengzu's lineage were a bit difficult to deal with.
Eunuch Chun should finally understand." Gao Wencai lowered his voice.
Tsk tsk tsk, Chunxiang shook his head and sighed, he naturally knew the Xu family's allusions, or perhaps no one in the Ming Dynasty knew it.
What the Xu family is talking about is that after Xu Da, the founding hero of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, after taking over the world, imitated Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty and commemorated the heroes who conquered the world together in the past. He built the Lingyan Pavilion and hung the images of the twenty-four heroes.
Lao Zhu built the Temple of Heroes in Jilong Mountain. The seats of the heroes in the temple actually represent the ranking of the heroes. A total of twenty-one heroes are divided into the east and west of the main hall. The first person in the main hall is Xu Da, King of Wuning of Zhongshan, followed by Chang Yuchun.
, Li Wenzhong, Deng Yu, Tang He, Mu Ying.
There is no doubt that Xu Da is the number one among the 21 Heroes, and he is an extremely popular minister.
Xu Da had four sons and four daughters. Two of the daughters married Zhu Yuanzhang's two sons. One was later the empress of Emperor Zhu Di. His fourth son and the third died in infancy. When Zhu Di was competing for the throne with his eldest nephew, his brothers-in-law were competing for the throne.
Out of curiosity, the boss Xu Huizu worked hard for Zhu Yunwen and once beat Zhu Di until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. However, the fourth boss Xu Zengshou played an undercover game of Infernal Affairs and acted as Zhu Di's undercover.
As everyone knows later, Xu Zengshou's identity was revealed and he was killed by Emperor Jianwen with a sword. Xu Huizu was put under house arrest by Zhu Di and died a few years later. Later, Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing and brought Xu Zengshou's lineage with him and established a Dingguo.
Duke of Wei, while Xu Huizu's lineage stayed in Nanjing to take the title of Wei Guogong.
Although they were both queens of King Zhongshan in the Yongle period, they were in the wrong team, and the Wei Guogong lineage in Nanjing did not get a good look. It was not until after Yongle that they slowly raised their heads, and the Emperor Wanli summoned Jianwen's loyal ministers to Nanjing.
When the Biao Zhong Temple was set up, Xu Huizu was at the forefront. From then on, Wei Guogong's lineage was out of control and gradually became the real talkers in Nanjing.
During the Chongzhen period, the Ming Dynasty was in turmoil and the court had no time to take care of itself. Nanjing's noble Emperor Tiangao Yuan was even more happy. In addition, Wei Guogong's lineage had an ancestor-killing hatred for Emperor Zhu Di's lineage. It was impossible to say that he had no evil intentions.
, let alone in such troubled times.
If nothing else, at least in Nanjing he has covered the sky with one hand.
"The sky is high and the emperor is far away. The Wei Guogong Mansion has been operating in Nanjing for hundreds of years. We have to go slowly. Regarding what Eunuch Chun did outside the city last night, maybe the other party wanted to get to the bottom of it or to give him a blow. This humble duty has just come to us.
I've encountered this before, but now even if I don't protect myself, there are still people following me." Gao Wencai glanced at the Qinhuai River outside: "But these actions just show that there is something wrong in their minds."
"They are you talking about..." Chunxiang asked with a frown.
"These are the people that the factory boss told you. Your Excellency, the factory boss, is gifted and prepared for a rainy day. He sent me here a few months ago just to deal with them. It's your business to fight with others. We just have to obey orders and do things."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Chunxiang: "You make your own decision when to take action. If you need support, just ask."
Chunxiang took it and took a look at it: "Our family has enough." He looked at the drizzle outside the window and said, "This day is suitable for work."
