The late Ming Dynasty in the living room

Chapter 153 Black Snake
Chongzhen also mentioned that Zhang Tianshi from Longhu Mountain was also in the capital recently.

Together with Zhang Tianshi and the chief minister Zhou Yanru, he thought of several honorific titles for Empress Pan, such as this one - the Great Celestial Lord Taizhen Wuji Holy Mother Empress who protects all living beings, the Cloud Palace Nine Skies, controls all paths, and rules over all immortals.

I wonder if it is appropriate? If it is possible, he will lead the officials to build an altar for Pan Niangniang in Chaotian Palace.

At the end of the text, he asked Fang Yu if he had time. He said that he, Empress Zhou, Zhu Mianzhu, and Zhu Cilang all hoped that Master Fang could come to the Daming Palace as a guest...

Fang Yu noticed that Princess Zhu Mianzhu's name was actually placed before Crown Prince Zhu Cilang.

What does this mean? Fang Yu believed that this was definitely not a typo by Chongzhen, but he was hinting at something.

The reason why I say "main text" is because Chongzhen used a page at the end of the letter to record the recent court briefing. Fang Yu once asked Min Wengong about "the situation outside", so Chongzhen kept this in mind:

"On the eighth day of the sixth lunar month, the bandit Li surrounded Kaifeng and sent a small army to attack Runing. The county of Runing was in ruins and could not be repaired. The city was broken, and the military assistant Wang Shizong and the prefect Fu Ruwei were all killed."

"On May 21, the thief Zhang captured Luzhou. He sent people to disguise themselves as Confucian scholars and wear Confucian hats to trick them into entering the city. He set fire to the city in the middle of the night, causing chaos. The prefect Zheng Luxiang and the judge Zhao Xingji were all killed."

"On June 13, the capital reported that Gui'an (in Huzhou, Zhejiang) was suffering from a severe drought. Locusts covered the sky and fell. People either peeled tree bark or ate chaff or dug up white mud from the mountains (Guanyin soil). Some bandits gathered together and took the opportunity to cause chaos.

"In June, Songjiang Prefecture reported a drought. The grain transported to the imperial court in the 15th year of Chongzhen may be reduced by 800,000 dan. The Imperial Secretary..."

Damn! There is no good news! Fang Yu pushed the letter away and frowned.

This dog ice age is getting more and more powerful as it approaches the end. The disaster in the north has not eased at all, but has instead spread to the south.

And this Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, their military advisors and counselors are all fucking cerebral thrombosis, if you want to fight for the world, you should manage your own territory well, treat the people well, restore production, accumulate strength, and train the troops well. You always rush forward like an old bull, destroying cities and looting along the way, is this the way to fight for the world?

All they do every day is bleed the Ming Dynasty and do such stupid things that harm others and do not benefit themselves. Have they ever thought that there is a Jiannu hiding outside the Great Wall waiting to take advantage of them?

Fang Yu really hoped to capture these two guys and bring them to Xincheng to give them a history lesson on the late Ming Dynasty.

I also want them to look at the population data of the early Qing Dynasty so that they can know how great a sin they have committed against the Han nationality.

……

After Fang Yu finished reading the letter, he stood up and walked out the door.

There were two security team members standing at the door. They stood straight and looked straight ahead.

It should be past nine o'clock in the evening now. The moon in the sky began to become brighter, exactly the same as the moon seen in the 21st century. Fang Yu stared at those mottled areas, and many names popped up in his mind like an abacus: Orange Sea, Central Gulf, Ocean of Storms, Von Karman Crater, Zu Chongzhi Crater...

Where is Chang'e Crater? Well, it seems to be on the far side of the moon, and it cannot be seen from here.

Fang Yu felt a little annoyed. After counting the craters on the moon, he remembered Teacher Pan's mumbling.

Teacher Pan said that the bigger the thing you want to do, the more you have to start small.

The more you have to do, the more you have to follow a plan.

Don't be impatient.

Teacher Pan hoped most that Fang Yu could complete the task (if there really was a task) as soon as possible and then return to her, but she still patiently gave him instructions again and again.

Fang Yu stood at the door for a long time, until the depression in his heart gradually dissipated. He saw that the lights were still on in the collective shack in the distance, which should be the night school.

There are more and more new large tiled houses being built nearby, and when they are all completed, the shacks will be demolished. Of course, night school will not stop, and they will continue their classes in school.

Education is the most cost-effective investment at any time. Even working in a factory requires a diploma to screw screws in. Those capitalist dogs can’t be wrong.

As the principal of the night school, Fang Yu thought about going over to take a look, to enforce discipline and see if anyone was slacking off.

Then, after walking a few steps, I heard the sound of footsteps behind me.

Fang Yu turned around. "Huh? Why is there no one here?"
When I looked down again, I saw a little man named A Xiu following me stealthily from behind.

She has really become smart. She can actually use the angle to hide her body. She also knows to make her small shadow overlap with Fang Yu's big shadow so that she will not be caught on the spot.

Fang Yu immediately frowned and asked her, "I went to your room just now and saw that you were already asleep!"

Ah Xiu replied: "Ah Xiu hasn't fallen asleep yet, Ah Xiu is just pretending."

"Okay, I didn't realize you're such a good actor." Fang Yu said angrily, and then urged: "It's already past nine o'clock. Who asked you to come out? Go back to bed."

"Ouch, you don't even have shoes on!"

Just as Fang Yu was about to grab her, he discovered that Ah Xiu's feet were bare. She was obviously in a hurry to go out and play, and she didn't even care about wearing shoes.

Ah Xiu ran away quickly, not wanting Fang Yu to catch her.

"Don't run, don't run. I won't catch you. Uh, don't run so fast!"

Fang Yu was afraid that she would get pricked by a stone or some sharp object, or that there would be mosquitoes, snakes, rats, etc. outside in the summer... Damn! What you fear will come true! Fang Yu saw that Ah Xiu was about to run to a short tree, and under the short tree there was a black snake coiled up. When the snake saw people approaching, it immediately raised its head in a 7 shape and spit out its tongue at Ah Xiu.

"A Xiu, stop! There's a snake!"

Fang Yu was bitten by a snake when he was a child at his grandmother's house. He was actually very afraid of this kind of thing. The saying "once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of the rope for ten years" is really very appropriate. But at this time, he could not care about anything. While shouting loudly to Ah Xiu, he rushed over in one step.

The snake sensed danger and leaned back like a slingshot, which was a prelude to an attack.

Fang Yu was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly stood in front of Ah Xiu and stomped hard on her...

Two members of the security team rushed over and grabbed the black snake from under Fang Yu's feet with their bare hands.

For some reason, Fang Yu suddenly felt that snakes were not that scary. He picked up Ah Xiu and threatened her with a stern face: "Will you dare to go out barefoot again in the future?"

Ah Xiu was not actually afraid, because she had not seen the snake before, but when she saw the snake now, it was already caught in someone's hand.

But she still hugged Fang Yu's neck tightly and acted very intimately.

The child may not be mentally perfect, but she is very clear about who really treats her well and who really loves her.
