Chapter 112 The Big Bull and the Unlucky Guy

Ming Xiaozong and Empress Zhang were heartbroken when they heard this.

Empress Zhang even slapped Xiaozong: "My son, who did my son get killed? Who did he get killed by?"

Xiaozong quickly said to his left and right: "Go, quickly go and invite the prince over."

Zhu Yuanzhang had already stood up. He had his hands on his sleeves and a somewhat ferocious look on his face: "Those snarky scholars are always chattering. These children and grandchildren should learn from me and not give them a good look."

Zhu Yuanzhang, a workaholic, simply used officials as mules. He wanted you to do things well and brilliantly, and the wages were low. Even if the civil servants said a few words, he would lose his temper. He even wrote doggerel poems to mock civil servants. Therefore, he looked down upon Xiaozong's good temper.

Wuyou let out a sigh of relief: "No one person can tie up a good emperor by binding, and what is the standard of a good emperor? This is not something that can be decided by two people, so don't use those rules to regulate. Don’t take it for granted. A good emperor doesn’t just live in the palace, sit on a high throne, be served meticulously by court ladies and eunuchs, and read a few moral articles. Landlords, you must know the sufferings of the people, you must feel the needs of the people, and you must be able to understand the thoughts of all walks of life."

"Why are the founding kings of various dynasties mostly Mingjun and Xiongzhu? Because they have experienced suffering, they understand people's livelihood and suffering, and the subsequent emperors are not as good as the previous generation. It is also because they cut off the connection with the people a little bit. They only read memorials and listen to them. The minister reported that there were articles about peace and praise everywhere."

"As for Emperor Zhengde, I don't like to judge him, but he is very famous in later generations. Many people don't know that he is called Tianzi, Xianzong and Xiaozong, but they know him, and there are many people named after him. As for the film and television drama with the main character, I remember there is a movie called You Long Xi Feng, which tells the story of Emperor Zhengde and Li Fenger, a commoner girl, and you can find it when you have time."

"Emperor Zhengde will stop here first, and next, it will be the turn of Emperor Jiajing who is obsessed with cultivating immortals."

"How should I put it? The previous emperors of the Ming Dynasty could have been called Men Tianzi, but after Jiajing, their hips became more stretched out each generation. Take Jiajing for example. When he was in power, there was a saying among the people, Jiajing, "Jia Jing, Every House Is Clean" is about the chaos in the court at that time, which caused unspeakable misery to the people."

"Before we talk about the emperor who cultivates immortality in detail, we must first talk about an outstanding person. This person has a great influence in later generations, especially a certain country to the east of us, who particularly worship him."

"Who is this? Why is he so awesome?"

Wuyou smiled and asked: "Has anyone guessed it? Especially friends in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, have you thought of who he is?"

As soon as she asked, someone answered quickly.

Li Zhi: Mr. Yangming.

Tang Yin: Mr. Yangming.

Qi Jiguang: Mr. Yangming.

Wuyou snapped his fingers: "The correct answer is Wang Yangming."

"Wang Yangming's name was Wang Shouren, his courtesy name was Bo'an, and his nickname was Yangming. He was born in the Chenghua period. He was a Jinshi during the Hongzhi period. He died in the Jiajing period. After four dynasties, he founded the Xinxue. He was a full-fledged man with both civil and military talents."

"Wang Yangming was born into a distinguished family and was born into an extraordinary person."

Wuyou couldn't help laughing when he said this.

The people under the sky didn't know why she was laughing, and they were a little confused by her laugh.

Wuyou smiled for a while before saying: "Did you find out that all famous people in ancient times, or emperors, generals, or literati, must have a bit of legend, and at least they must be extraordinary. If you were born and grew up in an ordinary way, you are not qualified to be a celebrity."

"The same is true for Wang Yangming. His mother was pregnant with him for ten months without giving birth. Before he was born, his grandmother dreamed of a god wearing red clothes and jade, standing in the clouds, and there were various drums and music playing beside him. The god held a child in his arms and fell from the sky. When he was born, his father named him Wang Yun, and the place where he lived was called Ruiyun Tower."

"But this name is not very good, because for some reason, because he can't speak until he is five years old, but he can remember the books his grandfather has read. It would be wrong to say that this child is stupid and cannot speak, but his memory is obviously very good. Okay, he doesn’t look like a fool, so what’s going on? The family doesn’t know the reason, so they shouldn’t get angry in a hurry. At this time, an eminent monk happened to pass by, touched his head and said, good boy, it’s a pity that the truth has been revealed.”

"The family finally understood the reason, so his grandfather quickly changed his name to Wang Shouren. As soon as his name was changed, he became eloquent immediately. Do you think this is strange?"

Under the sky, many people laughed at what Wuyou said.

Many people echoed: "It's really a strange thing."

"It seems to be true. Those famous big shots were all accompanied by visions when they were born. Anyone who doesn't have any visions would be embarrassed."

"What's going on? Is Wang Shouren really the son of God sent by God?"

"Perhaps he became a big shot later on, so someone made up such a farfetched set."

"Ask the fairy, the fairy should know."

Many people dared to ask.

Wuyou saw the problem and said with a smile: "What should I say about this? First, let's say that the pregnancy was not born in October. The ancient calculations for pregnancy may not be accurate, and it is impossible to know when the child will be conceived. Therefore, It is calculated that some children were born prematurely, and some children were indeed born after October, which is actually a normal phenomenon.”

"As for fetal dreams, who hasn't dreamed of a fantasy dream? Many people dream of blooming and say that they will have a girl, and dreaming of picking fruits mean that they will have a boy. This is really not surprising."

"It's a matter of speaking late, there are also some, but very few..."

"As for what's going on, I can't say for sure. Maybe it's really like someone said. After Wang Yangming became famous, it's far-fetched to say."

"Let's talk about another thing about him. Wang Yangming visited Lou Liang. Lou Liang taught him the study of things to achieve knowledge, saying that everything has its own reason and operating rules. After returning home, he determined to understand the principle of bamboo. After gridding the bamboo for three days and three nights, I didn’t realize any reason, and even got sick.”

"Actually, the ancients have always put the study of things and knowledge in the field of philosophy, thinking that as long as one realizes the Tao, one can realize it. In fact, study of things and knowledge are not the same thing."

"Another thing is that Wang Shouren pacified Jiangxi. At that time, he inspected Nan, Ting, Jiangxi, Zhang and other places. At that time, there were many bandits in the south and central areas, and some local officials and bandits colluded. After Wang Shouren arrived, he found out the movements of the bandits, and at the same time spread Join forces from Fujian and Guangdong to attack the thieves in Damaoshan."

"In the 12th year of Zhengde, Wang Shouren led troops to break through more than forty strongholds, beheaded and captured more than 7000 people. At this time, he wrote to the court, saying that his power was too small. , gave Wang Shouren the flag, he could do things cheaply, Wang Shouren showed his might, and it took a few months to wipe out the bandits who had been infesting for decades, and the local people exclaimed that he used soldiers like a god."

"In the 14th year of Zhengde, King Ning rebelled. This rebellion was prepared by generations of King Ning for decades before he raised his troops. At that time, the news reached the capital and the court was greatly shocked. If King Ning's troops reached Nanjing along the river, they would occupy Nanjing. The city would put the court in a passive position. Wang Shouren, who had handed over the military symbols and had no soldiers in the rear, raised volunteers and issued a proclamation to recruit troops from various places to serve the king."

"When King Ning rebelled, the whole country was shocked. Why?"

"Because this is another local attack on the central government, why do you say it again? Don't forget how Zhu Di came to the throne. He was Yanjing who raised troops and fought against the central government as a prince, and finally won the victory."

"Many officials are afraid and speculate whether King Ning will succeed or fail this time."

"Of course, some officials want to protect themselves first. After all, King Ning is also a descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang. This is a matter for their old Zhu family. Officials get involved. If they stand on the side of the court, what if King Ning wins? But if you stand on the side of King Ning, how will the court succeed in suppressing the rebellion?"

"The development of the situation did not allow officials to think too much, because Wang Shouren put down the rebellion in only 35 days."

"Yes, you heard it right, it's 35 days."

"King Ning's side had been preparing for many years. Wang Shouren had no troops and hurriedly mobilized soldiers from all over. But even so, he also won a great victory without adequate preparation and put down this rebellion that might trigger turmoil in the entire country."

"At that time, Emperor Zhengde was in a hurry to ask for his personal conquest, but before it was over, the rebellion was put down... My friends, please think about it, given Emperor Zhengde's temperament, what would he think?"

"Later, someone suggested to Wang Shouren that he should release King Ning and ask Emperor Zhengde to come and arrest him again to satisfy Emperor Zhengde's vanity. Faced with this situation, Wang Shouren handed King Ning to the eunuch Zhang Yong, who claimed to be sick. Hidden."

"In this rebellion, Wang Shouren made a name for himself and gained prestige. Emperor Zhengde was able to find an excuse to go out to the capital and indulge in his addiction to catching traitors. The only unlucky person was Prince Ning, who was caught once. I have to be caught and humiliated again. I have to have twice-cooked pork. I don’t know what Prince Ning is thinking.”

King Ning: ...

How can I think, I want to die.

He burst into tears and was very unwilling, so he could only complain that God was unfair and let him meet Wang Shouren.
