Chang Yu was already drunk before the banquet was over. He didn't see how people were making trouble in the wedding ceremony at this time, and he didn't know that the casual and somewhat deliberate 13 just now caused an indescribable shock to the cabinet ministers. Wu Xuan
His sentence: "Effort and diligence are worthless compared to talent", which is tantamount to concluding the conclusion of his literary excellence in the Tang and Song Dynasties.
But does Chang Yu care about this?
Don't care or care.
Not for fame, just to relieve anger. Let’s see if those civil servants still dare to show off their sense of superiority in front of soldiers and eunuchs in the future. Do they dare to say that soldiers and eunuchs don’t know anything about literature and writing? If so, then that’s not the case.
Humiliating yourself is worse than shit.
It was already half noon when Chang Yu woke up, with a splitting headache. Lao Hu was waiting beside him with a cup of sober soup. The two newlyweds had been waiting for a long time to greet Chang Mansion. The bride was in high spirits, and the two grooms looked haggard.
Overworking... I'm talking about a hangover, a hangover.
"I've been too tired these days. Go back and have a good rest for a few days. Our family will give you ten days of wedding leave." Chang Yu rubbed his head and waved his hands. Wu Zhong and Song Luoshu actually asked Chang Yu to leave the capital, but he said
Shout: "Roll the paper! There is no one in the East Factory, right?"
In the afternoon, Chang Yu, who had left a legend behind, came out of the capital. Shi Kefa's expression was full of emotion: "The Governor's style yesterday captivated all living beings."
"Come on, you went crazy and scared everyone." Chang Yu's head still hurt, and he didn't want to dwell on this topic forever. Because he felt guilty, he asked his surroundings: "Are they already in Changping?"
They, of course, refer to the Crown Prince and Princess Kunxing.
Fearing that they would never return, the brother and sister stayed away from their home and waited for Chang Yu in Changping, dozens of miles away.
Changping was a prefecture at this time, with jurisdiction over Huairou, Miyun, Shunyi, and also under the jurisdiction of Jizhou Town. Previously, Ma Ke was stationed here. Later, he led his troops south to quell the chaos and was transferred to the west, leaving his general Hong Tianyi to guard Changping.
As one of the important towns in Gyeonggi Province, Changping usually has nearly 10,000 troops stationed in it. However, Ma Ke went south and took away most of them, all of them cavalry. Now there are only less than 3,000 infantry left. In addition to garrisoning the city, they also patrol the border gates within the jurisdiction, including Juyong Pass. How many troops are there?
Slightly lacking.
But fortunately there is no war now.
But even if there is no war, we can't be idle. The imperial court has repeatedly issued orders to rectify military affairs. In addition to strict military discipline, there must be drills every three days? One drill every ten days. Changping is so close to Beijing? Fanzi and Jinyiwei often come to inspect, and the generals
Hong Tianyi didn't dare to be lazy? He got up early and came home late every day for fear of being caught, which would also implicate Ma Ke.
His subordinates came to report that there was a group of soldiers camped in the east of the city on the other side of the Shahe River. They went to find out who was from the East Factory Guards? Hong Tianyi immediately became nervous after hearing the news? The news that Chang Yu was ordered to inspect the nine sides had already spread throughout the borders
Where? And Ji Town is the first stop.
Hong Tianyi thought that the eunuch of Dongchang had arrived, and hurriedly went to the camp to meet him in person. Unexpectedly, he had no chance to get close to the three-mile radius of the camp, and the Dongchang guard told him without any emotion: He had to do his job well and was not allowed to come without an order.
Even though he had all kinds of doubts in his heart, how could Hong Tianyi dare not to obey? After he led his people back to the city, he immediately checked himself and gave instructions to everyone. For fear that something would happen, Dongchang ordered the Yamen, the eunuch and Shang Fangjian to tell him who to kill.
Then it's just a matter of clicking? There's no need to even try it.
A small village by the Shah River? A six or seven-year-old slug hugged a lame native dog and looked nervously at a few people at the entrance of the village. These people were neatly and cleanly dressed, and there were a few armed men not far behind them.
The big man and the slug were a little scared, neither standing nor walking.
An old man in his sixties, dressed in ragged clothes and with a sallow face, staggered from the village and walked up to the slug without even looking at the Zhu Cixun brothers and sisters, and then dragged the slug away!
"It's so cold, and they are still wearing thin clothes with so many holes..." Princess Kunxing's face turned blue and white, but Zhu Cixiang looked numb: "Brother, when I went south, I saw this, and the ground was full of hungry people.
There is no need to chew the bark of the trees. After natural disasters and military disasters, ordinary people are considered lucky if they are alive. You only think that they are wearing single clothes, but you never think that this single clothes is probably his only clothes, and it is also the only cold clothes in the cold winter."
.
"Then, wouldn't it be freezing to death..."
"He is not the only one who will freeze to death. I don't know how many people will freeze to death this year." A familiar voice sounded from behind. The brother and sister turned around and saw Chang Yu riding a horse slowly. Kun Xing rushed over: "Then,
Then help him quickly." Zhu Cixiang smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Everything I do now, including rejecting foreign humiliation and suppressing internal strife, investigating corruption and rectifying military affairs, is to help him and them. But if I can't survive this winter, I can only live with my destiny. I am not the Tathagata Buddha who raised his hand.
We can save all sentient beings in a short time." Chang Yu looked at the village and sighed.
When outsiders came to the village, the villagers came out to take a look first. They looked at the outsiders with doubts on their faces, and the outsiders looked at them with solemn faces.
The common people in this era were so miserable and miserable. Although there are written records, it is difficult to describe in words. It is more impactful to record them in pictures. However, there are no cameras in this era, but I believe many people have seen those old photos from the late Qing Dynasty.
The life and spirit of the common people at that time were no different from those in the late Ming Dynasty.
Bitter, poor and miserable!
"The livelihood of the people is the strength of the country. The Ming Dynasty was the most powerful during the reign of Taizu and Chengzu. The prosperous period of Renxuan was the richest period of the Ming Dynasty. But how did it decline to this point step by step?" Chang Yu sighed, and Zhu Cixiang looked sad: "
Either the ministers are upright and the ruler is evil, or the ruler is wise and the ministers are treacherous, or the civil servants form a party and the military is afraid of war, and the ills accumulated over a hundred years have spread to our court, how could my father deserve it?"
Chang Yu glanced at him: "There are some things I can't say, but you need to understand that the prosperity of a country requires the concerted efforts of the monarch and his ministers. If anyone is holding back, there will be trouble, let alone..."
"Not to mention the civil servants who have harmed the country for decades"! Zhu Cixiang looked fierce. It seemed that he was greatly influenced by his father. To be precise, he was influenced by Chang Yu. After all, he was the one behind the scenes who yelled and beat up the civil servants.
"Although civil servants are hateful, they are indispensable in running the country. Military generals in thousands of miles of country can fight and defend, but the common people in the country need them to take care of them." Chang Yu shook his head lightly and said, Zhu Cixiang laughed: "Maybe these are them
A hateful place."
"The most hateful thing about them is that they want to take care of everything!" Princess Kunxing also interjected, and Chang Yu smiled bitterly: "I read an anonymous article in the past, which wrote about the hatefulness of literati: Most literati are like dogs, doing
When wild dogs are tangled with shabby dog friends, they form groups and bark at humans. Once they are adopted and have enough food and clothing, they will turn the dog's head and point its fangs towards the way it came. They also have a special ability, which is to
"The flattery is said to be the strength of character. Hold it in your mouth and lick and bite it non-stop." (from Stallion Zuri)
"This article is simple and vulgar, but it is also profound. If you criticize well, you are just a bunch of wild dogs!" Zhu Cixiang snorted, glancing at Shi Kefa who was slowly coming not far away. Chang Yu smiled slightly: "Although Mr. Shi is also a civil servant, he is a civil servant."
He still has some real character. Although he has no military talent, he is most suitable to be a political commissar."
"Political commissar?" Zhu Cihong was startled.
"It's just for appeasing the soldiers," Chang Yu said with a smile.
