Yunxi, who wanted to understand, raised his head refreshed and wanted to answer Lao Zhu's question. But when he raised his head, he found that Lao Zhu was no longer in front of him. He looked around and found a bunch of imperial doctors he had seen observing him.
, Lao Zhu also stood aside and waited anxiously.
After Yunxi reacted, he couldn't laugh or cry. He stood up and said, "Female doctors, why are you looking at Gu like this?" Then he said to Lao Zhu, "Grandpa Huang, why did you ask all the doctors to come here?"
Lao Zhu said: "Grandpa was feeling a little unwell just now, so he asked them to come over." He turned around and asked the imperial doctor in a low voice: "Is there anything wrong with Yunxi?"
An imperial doctor whispered: "Your Highness may have been in a daze just now, but he has recovered on his own now and is fine."
Although Lao Zhu heard what they said, he didn't let them all leave. Instead, he asked several famous doctors to stay in another room. He came back and sat in front of Yunxi and said, "What's wrong?"
Yunxi sat down and said: "Grandpa, my grandson finally figured out why we should imitate the ancient times and seal the country."
Lao Zhu asked: "Oh, why?"
Yunxi replied: "Reporting to Grandpa Huang, my grandson is trying to prevent his children and grandchildren from killing each other!...My grandson doesn't want this to happen, so he sent them all to places out of reach of the Central Plains.
Only then can it be preserved.”
Lao Zhu said: "Although the previous dynasties had things like reducing vassal states or rebelling in feudal towns, this dynasty is different from them. Grandpa did not actually seal the vassal towns, so there may not be any reduction of vassal states."
Yunxi sighed helplessly in his heart. Lao Zhu was hard-hearted and rational in everything, but he had unrealistic illusions about his children and grandchildren. He always felt that they could proceed stably according to his own arrangements; but things went against his wishes. History
Shortly after his death last year, Yun Wen cut down the feudal vassals, and a large-scale military conflict broke out, causing fratricide.
Yunxi couldn't tell him, so he could only reply: "My grandson doesn't believe in cannibalism, it's just to guard against the possibility of less than one in 10,000."
Then Yunxi and Lao Zhu chatted casually for a few more words. It was already Xu o'clock, and Yunxi didn't want Lao Zhu to rest too early, so he said goodbye.
Lao Zhu was still worried about Yunxi's health, so he asked the imperial physician who stayed behind to come over and insist on checking Yunxi's body. Yunxi had no choice but to accept it.
Just when the famous doctor Liu Chun and Liu Guoshou were taking Yunxi's pulse, Lao Zhu suddenly remembered something and said: "Speaking of which, Grandpa and Wei Wu still have some imaginations. Su Dongpo said something about Wei Wu: The most powerful person in the world is his talent.
Each has his own lofty place, but he is not afraid in the face of difficulties, and he is considered a hero when he dies while talking and laughing. Cao died of illness, and his descendants are full of him, and he weeps.
*False, death will reveal the true nature.”
"I'm afraid grandpa won't be considered a hero in Su Dongpo's eyes in the future."
Yunxi didn't know where his anger came from: Su Dongpo was also Yunxi's favorite poet, but Yunxi disagreed with this article.
He said: "Isn't a person who pities his son a hero? Farewell my concubine, especially when he sings "Yu Xi Yu Xi Nai Ruo Hao" before his death, is he not a hero? My grandson has a poem to refute Su Shi: "
"A ruthless man may not be a true hero, but a pity for a son is not a husband."
"Do you know that those who stir up the wind and roar will look smaller than a dodder when they look back?"
Lao Zhu looked at Yunxi in surprise. He glanced around and saw that the doctors were also surprised.
Yunxi had prepared this poem a long time ago and was waiting to present it to Lao Zhu. Since today's topic has reached this point, I will dedicate it to him.
This poem is better in literary talent than "Giving Mu to the General", but it is not the kind of poem with high literary talent; but the artistic conception is so good, the words and sentences are natural and unforgettable.
Lao Zhu chanted repeatedly: "Being ruthless does not necessarily mean that you are a hero, and you can't pity your son without being a husband. Being ruthless does not necessarily mean that you are a hero, but pity for your son can be unhusband..." He raised his head and looked at Yunxi and said: "If these two lines of poetry can be engraved in the future,
On my tombstone, I will die with no regrets."
Yunxi hurriedly said: "Grandpa must live a long life, why do you say this?"
Lao Zhu smiled and asked the imperial doctor: "How is Yunxi's health?"
After taking his pulse, Liu Chun said: "Your Highness is in good health, so there will be no problems."
Lao Zhu said: "Then Yunxi, please go down and go back to your own palace to sleep." He then said to the imperial doctor: "You should go back too." Yunxi and the imperial doctors retreated.
Yunxi returned to the Wenhua Hall, but did not fall asleep. He asked Wang Jin to light the lamp and reflect on today's exchange with Lao Zhu. This was what Yunxi had developed after every major event. After reflecting for a while, he felt
My performance today was pretty good, so I lay down to sleep.
The next day, Yunxi got up as usual to read the excerpts, and went to teach in the martial arts hall in the afternoon. However, during the class in the martial arts hall, some students looked at Yunxi strangely, which made Yunxi confused.
In the car coming back, Qitai and Lian Zining also looked at him differently than usual. Yunxi couldn't stand their gazes anymore and said, "What do you want to say to Gu? Don't keep looking at him like this."
The two looked at each other for a few times, and Lian Zining boldly said: "Since His Highness asked, I will tell you. Did His Highness write a poem yesterday that said, 'A ruthless person may not be a true hero...'?"
Yunxi was not surprised when he heard this. The imperial doctors present yesterday were all literate, and many of them had passed the imperial examination. It was normal for this poem to be spread.
Yunxi replied: "It was indeed what I did yesterday."
"I wonder what the name of this poem is?"
Yunxi thought for a while and said: "It's called "Praise to Kong Beihai"."
Lian Zining said with a smile: "His Royal Highness does not usually compose poems. Who would have thought that one of his poems would be such a famous one? It is really unexpected. I am afraid that His Highness will be the most famous king's poet besides 'Three Cao' in the future."
Yunxi thought to himself: 'Is this a famous poet? I still have good things in my stomach.'
After chatting and joking for a while, Lian Zining added: "Since Your Highness respects Wei Wu, then the author of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" should not be able to rest in peace."
Yunxi asked: "Lian Qing has also read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? Why can't the author of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" rest in peace?"
"I didn't read it at first. After listening to the words of the second son of the Hou family of Changxing that day, I was curious and looked for it in the market. It was quite difficult to find it. After I bought it and took it home and read it, I thought the writing was very good, but the book respects Liu.
The idea of demoting Cao Cao is not in line with His Highness. I’m afraid it’s not a good thing for His Highness.”
Of course Yunxi knew that the content of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was not in line with his own ideas, but he never wanted to change anything before. Today, when Lian Zining said it, he woke up: "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" cannot be widely circulated in the market. Fortunately, now
According to Lian Qing's words, this book is still unknown and can be remedied.
Yunxi asked Lian Zining where he bought the book, and then asked his guards to go to the bookstore to ask where the book "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" came from. Luo Guanzhong should be found in the birthplace of the book that was not long ago written.
After asking about the place where the book was brought in - Hangzhou, Yunxi sent his guards to Hangzhou to "invite" Luo Guanzhong to the capital. However, Qin Nan, the guard sent to Hangzhou a month later, reported back: Luo Guanzhong has left Hangzhou and I don't know.
Whereabouts.
It was impossible for Yunxi to use Jin Yiwei to investigate this person. Lao Zhu would not agree, so he could only let it go for the time being.
After that, Yunxi continued to live his life step by step, preparing for his future accession to the throne.
In April of the 26th year of Hongwu, Beiping City.
There is a tavern near the left guard station of King Yan. King Zhu Di of Yan is inspecting the army today. All soldiers and military attachés are not allowed to leave the military camp, so there is no business in the tavern and the guys have nothing to do.
In the backyard of the tavern, Mrs. Wei sent her daughter Chen Chen out and said to Tan Wei'er: "Girl, what do you think about the family I told you about last time? They said it was the best family. I missed it.
There is no shop like this in this village."
"Originally I wanted to find you a simple commoner's family, but you said you wanted to find a military family, so we took the trouble to ask someone to find you. I asked my eldest sister to ask many people in King Yan's right guard about this family, and they all said it was a kind family.
Recently, I have made great achievements and become a hereditary member of the Hundred Households. My son is only eighteen years old and has made great progress. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
"I can tell you, there are countless people who come to his house to propose marriage. If you think about it, you have no chance."
Tan Wei'er sat on the kang, feeling unwilling to give up. With her talent and appearance, if she were to be matched with someone in the palace, she would be a pleasant person of the fifth rank. Now, if she was matched with a hundred households, she would be a 'high climber'.
But the situation is stronger than the people. These days, Wei has found several families for her, but this one is the best, so she might as well accept it. Then she said, "Well, it all depends on my aunt."
Mrs. Wei said happily: "Then I will go to the matchmaker to make peace. Miss Tan is so talented and beautiful, how can that family not like her!" After that, she left.
Tan Wei'er kept clenching her hands tightly, her nails digging into her flesh and bleeding, but she was still unaware. Only then did she let go and took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood.
A few days later, in a small courtyard house where King Yan Youwei lived, Sun Shao, a newly promoted member of a hundred households, said to his wife Liu, "How is the matter of finding a wife for Rui'er? Which girl do you have your eye on?"
?"
Ms. Liu said: "I have fallen in love with a girl, but..."
Sun Shao asked strangely: "Why are you hesitating?"
"The girl's surname is Tan. She is said to be a relative of Ren Ruijiang's family in Zuowei. She is from the capital. Her parents are both dead and she is currently living in her uncle's house. I went to see her. The girl's air of style and good conversation were unprecedented.
I’ve seen it.”
"My family has been from Peiping for a long time. From the Han Dynasty official family in the Yuan Dynasty to the official family in the Ming Dynasty, they are not as good as others. I'm afraid the princess in the palace will be like this. This girl's family has a lot of wealth.
A distinguished family."
"I'm just flustered here. I don't believe that Ren Ruijiang can have such relatives; and even if he can have such relatives, how can a girl from such a family be willing to marry into our family?"
Sun Shao thought for a while and said: "This girl's family is probably from a prison official's family, and the official is definitely not young! Maybe she is a relative of the Ren family, maybe she just helped them back then, so she luckily escaped and took refuge after her home was ransacked.
Relatives of the Ren family."
Ms. Liu said anxiously: "Then let's forget it. We don't dare to want a girl from such a family."
Sun Shao smiled and said: "How can you not! I have just fallen in love with this girl to be my daughter-in-law. If such a good girl is usually our family's turn, why would it be our family's turn? (liao). What happened to the prisoner's family?
Girl, you are not your son, and His Highness Prince Yan has always protected us, so there is nothing to be afraid of."
Mrs. Liu said: "Since you, the head of the family, have said so, let's make it a decision. I will go back to the matchmaker to propose marriage."
Sun Shao turned to his son Sun Rui who was listening on the side and said, "Son, what do you think? Is it the same as what dad thinks?"
Sun Rui giggled for a while and said: "I have no objection." After a pause, he added: "I heard from my mother that the girl is quite beautiful."
Sun Shao patted his head and said with a smile: "Good son, just like father, he married your mother because he fell in love with her looks. Now, silly boy, you are luckier than your father."
Sun Rui giggled. Mrs. Liu stood up and said, "I'm not here to make you two crazy. I went to cook. You guys can have fun here."
