Chapter 368: Borrowing the past to satirize the present
"oh?"
Chen Zhi suddenly became really interested.
He leaned back in his chair, shook his juice, and was ready to listen to Fat Wei's lecture on the history of the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, I heard Fat Wei say:
"If you say that China has been in China for 5,000 years, it is true that each has its own merits.
But when it comes to the dynasty with the most outstanding literati, it belongs to the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty was truly the most interesting dynasty...
If you think people's hearts are complicated nowadays, just look through the miscellaneous biographies of the Ming Dynasty and you will see that human nature is dark, deceitful, and talk sweetly while hiding swords. At that time, it was just childish~~
The literati at that time were the most cheerful and the most awesome!!!
At that time, the Jiangnan literati formed a faction of their own, and the civil servants from the imperial court united to form the Donglin Party.
The Donglin Party is really awesome. Although they don’t even dare to kill chickens on weekdays, everyone scolds them happily!
Write an excerpt today and a poem tomorrow!!
I scolded him when he was eating, when he was drinking, and even when TND farted~~
I can't bear to be scolded and said that others are just cliques for personal gain, but they are the only ones who are intellectuals with a strong character!
What I look down on the most on weekdays are those eunuchs who have no roots at all.
They are the eunuchs from the East and West factories...
They were also told many stories about how many evil things these eunuchs had done, even though they were not even men, and how many older girls they had harmed.
But when Li Zicheng finally invaded Beijing, guess what happened?
This group of iron-clad Donglin Party members all surrendered in one fell swoop.
But the eunuch of the stuff factory, whom they called a dog, vowed not to surrender and defended the palace to the death.
From a 70-year-old man to a teenager, you really have to kill every last person..."
"Really?" Chen Zhi became really interested.
He had also heard that the Ming Dynasty was a very interesting dynasty that embodies the essence of many Chinese people's character. The culture and art, social phenomena, and even the law and economy of that time were all very unique.
Chen Zhi has always wanted to find an opportunity to read a few books on Ming history, but he has never had the chance because he is busy.
I didn't expect that it would be so interesting to hear such words from the fat man's mouth.
"You said it as if you saw it with your own eyes!!" Chen Zhi said with a smile,
"is that true?
Maybe it's a rumor?
Doesn’t it mean that eunuchs have no conscience and bring disaster to the country and the people?
Why did he become a hero who protects the country?"
"Shit!
Who said that eunuchs just have no conscience? It’s pure prejudice~~",
Fat Wei spat seriously, looking really serious.
"Let me tell you, there are actually a few serious men among the eunuchs, and I admire them all!!!
In the past few years, I have been exposed to too many cases of reverse fighting. We all know about many evil things in the cemetery~~
That year, a buddy mentioned an old bucket he had dug up a few years ago. It should be a tomb for a king!!
The so-called burial tomb of the emperor... is actually an unnamed wild grave.
What kind-hearted and wealthy passerby saw the corpses of those who died of untimely deaths and had no burial place?
So I took out the money and secretly built a cemetery for these people.
We don’t build monuments or write their names. We just give them three feet of loess to occupy their bodies. The rights and wrongs of their lives have nothing to do with them~~
Many of those buried in such cemeteries are heroes and heroines who committed crimes at that time.
Everyone understands this kind of thing. Since no monuments are erected and no names are left, no one bothers these tombs.
What that buddy entered at that time was a very large tomb where the emperor was buried.
There were many corpses wearing armor in the cemetery. They were all people who died in battle!!
Some people had dozens of arrows on their bodies, some had several knives stuck in their bodies, and their heads were cut into pieces. They died very miserably. It was really a fierce battle!!
My buddy said that these are fine armors, which are rarely seen on ordinary days.
Some were royal imperial guards during the Ming Dynasty, and a large number were eunuchs, that is, the father-in-laws of the East and West factories.
The buddy said that among them was the corpse of an old eunuch, which was the most shocking.
The corpse was not lying horizontally, but standing.
Wearing the clothes of the great eunuch Panlong, he just stood there, motionless, as if he was alive.
But when you look closely, all the flesh on your body is rotten, your head is covered with white hair, your face is shot like a hedgehog, and you can’t even see the facial features~~
But just won’t lie down!!
He was still holding the knife firmly in his hand, guarding his back!!
It looks admirable!!!
That's a real man.
My buddy didn't dare to accept the old eunuch's armor, so he knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times, then respectfully withdrew.
He also told the Taoist priest that no one can touch this tomb in the future, as all those buried in it are loyal bones and loyal souls!!!
Look... can such a eunuch be said to be a castrated dog?"
"If that's really the case~~",
After hearing this, Chen Zhi couldn't help but feel a little admiration.
"But that's not how the novels and biographies of the Ming Dynasty were written..."
"Hey, listen to those wild books!!" Fat Wei said,
"Who wrote those books?
It’s not all written by those acid writers...
Let me tell you, it’s not that I look down on those stinky old people!!
Some literati are really dressed like beasts...
There is a saying that is true: a scholar who is useless is useless.
Since ancient times, it has been rare for scholars to mislead the country, right?
Let's not talk about anything else, let's just say that Li Zicheng invaded Beijing, changed dynasties, and the old emperor was hanged on the top of Meishan Mountain.
Those literati couldn't do anything. According to their self-proclaimed virtues, shouldn't they find a rope and die for their country?
Or like Qu Yuan, who threw himself into a river or something...
The result? People were sitting on the boat in a daze and dared not get out~~
Then I wrote a poem, saying what? The water is too cold...
Damn it, these stinky and shameless people!!
Accusing people of being traitors to the country, in the end they are the ones who really betray the country...
I would say that Qin Shihuang did the right thing at that time, and he was buried alive by these fake Taoists. It’s good..."
"Ahem~~", Fat Wei was saying excitedly, but someone behind him coughed.
It turns out that when Fat Wei was dancing, there were people behind him who couldn't stand to listen anymore.
It was a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses. He pushed up his glasses reluctantly, looked at Fat Wei with some contempt, and muttered in a very small voice, "Ignorance~~"
How could this be hidden from Fat Wei's ears? Fat Wei immediately became angry and turned back to Chen Zhi and said,
“You see, it’s just these bums!!
How can you pretend to be a b?
When we get off the plane, we'll block him in the toilet and beat him up..."
"Okay!!" Chen Zhi gave a little advice and signaled Fat Wei to stop speaking loudly.
Fat Wei is still aggrieved,
"So Orange, the news you just watched is really possible.
Do you think these sanctimonious people are really good people?
They may have been really afraid of life and secretly met the Japanese..."
