Touring the Ming Dynasty

Jiang Bin was shocked, and was about to kneel down to beg for mercy, when Zhengde gave him a cold glance, Jiang Bin was so frightened that his hairs stood on end, he didn't dare to talk any more, and he 'rolled' out in desperation.

"This guy is really annoying, please ignore him, let's continue." Zhengde turned to Tang Bohu and said, "Could it be that Master Tang was moved by brother Duan's talent, so he went to his house to be a teacher?"

Tang Bohu nodded, sighed, and recounted the scene when he and Duan Fei met for the first time. Zhengde couldn't help but be a little dazed when he heard it. He recited the poem and said, "Is the road to the imperial examination really so difficult?" ?”

Tang Bohu sighed: "It's not that the imperial examinations are difficult, but that stereotypes are harmful to people. In order to become an official, Tang also studied stereotypes, and even won a Jieyuan from Yingtianfu in one fell swoop. However, Tang knows that stereotypes are only It's just the brick that knocks on the door. Once you become an official, can you use stereotyped writing to rule the world? The talents and learning of my righteous brother Zhu Yunming and my righteous brother Wen Zhengming are all for a while, but they are not good at stereotyped writing, so they repeat themselves repeatedly. If you fail to try, you will waste your time in vain..."

"How can we talk about the imperial examination and the eight-legged essay? Although the eight-legged essay has many disadvantages, it still has its merits. In the Ming Dynasty, the eight-legged essay was used to select scholars. Didn't it produce many talented Confucian scholars? For example, this Aren't Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe, assistant university scholars of the court cabinet, all talented and capable?" Duan Fei saw that Zhengde's face was a little gloomy, so he hurriedly made amends, and changed the subject: "I suddenly had an inspiration in my heart, I made another song and asked Mr. Tang to teach me."

Tang Bohu lifted his spirits and said, "I'm listening."

Zhengde also pricked up his ears, only to hear Duan Fei begin to hum... After the prelude hummed, Duan Fei began to sing the lyrics: "Missing is a very mysterious thing..."

This is a song "I Do" also from the queen Faye Wong. Faye Wong's voice is like the sound of nature. No matter what song she sings to her, it is very pleasant. It is not the same thing when the same song comes out of Duan Fei's mouth. He wanted to laugh, but seeing Tang Bohu's concentration, he finally held back.

"I can't resist...especially at night...I miss you so much that I can't breathe..." When Duan Fei howled like a wolf, Zhengde finally hugged his stomach and laughed, Duan Fei stopped, his face was a bit impressive.

Zhengde panted and laughed: "I am willing, I am willing... Brother Duan, this piece of yours is really extraordinary, I...my stomach is about to cramp because of willingness."

Tang Bohu, who was disturbed, said displeasedly: "This is a song sung by a woman to her lover. The tune is lively and cheerful, full of affection. What's so ridiculous? Mr. Zhu will not be as boring as those ordinary people?"

Zhengde stopped laughing embarrassingly with an embarrassing sound, and Qian Ning beside him suddenly changed color, and shouted: "Presumptuous..."

Zhengde slammed the table, causing Qian Ning, who had just puffed up his chest, to tremble suddenly in fright, and his chest collapsed again. Zhengde shouted: "You also go fishing for me, and you can't come in unless you listen to my call!"

Qian Ning went out with his tail between his legs, and Zhengde said to Tang Bohu and Duan Fei embarrassingly: "I have lost my temper, I have lost my temper, let me tell you two, these two guys were sent by my father to protect me. The appearance is really vulgar, and after being with them for a long time, I can't help but feel a little vulgar. Please forgive me, the song that brother Duan sang just now is really interesting, especially the lyrics, which can't help but remind people, it's really interesting .”

"Is that so? I think the song my master sang just now is both elegant and popular. It's really a rare masterpiece. I have tasted the three flavors of it. Please wait a moment, I will try to play it again after I get it through." Tang Bohu finished speaking Closing his eyes, shaking his head was very funny, but this time Zhengde didn't dare to laugh anymore.

Su Rong from the next door cheered, and then came in with a pot of boiling hot water. Seeing that Tang Bohu was meditating on composing the music, she lowered her voice and said apologetically, "The tea sets on this boat are simple, and we can only make do with them." Already." She skillfully brewed the tea leaves, and while the gray tea leaves were tumbling, a refreshing fragrance spread out.

"It smells so good." Zhengde raised his nose and sniffed. His nose was raised, his eyes blurred, and he didn't know whether he was talking about people or tea.

Su Rong chuckled, put the teapot on the ground aside, then stood behind Zhengde and said, "Young Master Zhu, if you need more water, please say hello."

Everyone stood behind them, and Zhengde's face was not thick enough to turn around in front of his master to molest other maids. In fact, most of Zhengde's immoral things in the unofficial history were done by Jiang Bin in the name of Zhengde. It's just that after hearing a little bit, most of them are suspicious, thinking that the people below are attacking each other again.

He coughed lightly, and said to Duan Fei: "Brother Duan, I have heard the poems and music you wrote just now, and they are really extraordinary. You are also good at solving crimes, and you can even create interesting card games, but You are versatile, what do you think of the administration of the current dynasty?"

Duan Fei's heart tightened, if someone else asks that, it's fine, the person opposite is the current Holy One, what exactly does he mean by asking this?Duan Fei thought about it for a while and replied: "Brother Zhu asked Yu Blindly about this question. I have never thought about this question if I am not in my position... But... when the cabinet assistant Yang Tinghe learned It is the way of Confucius and Mencius, and the sage Zhu Xi is respected. His policy strategy is unavoidably pedantic, and his hands are restrained. He dare not touch the things handed down by his ancestors. , in the end, I'm afraid it will be nothing but a bamboo basket...

This is from the overall perspective, but from a small perspective, I grew up in the south of the Yangtze River. I have heard of the vastness of the sea and the grand occasion of Wanfan entering Hong Kong since I was a child. I have also heard of the prosperity of the Song Dynasty and the prosperity of the Yuan Dynasty. Prosperity, Suzhou, Hangzhou and Yangzhou seem to be very prosperous at the moment, but people of the older generation think that it is far less than the Song and Yuan dynasties. Why is this?Mr. Zhu, did you ever hear that Japanese pirates invaded the sea in the Song and Yuan Dynasties?

In the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, there were few pirates. Facts have proved that the more the ban on the sea, the more pirates. Those businessmen who originally only wanted to do business with the Ming Dynasty were forced to become pirates. In the past, there were only pirates. Now the Westerners have also come to the East. Their ships are strong and powerful, and the damage is a hundred times more serious than the Japanese pirates. If they are ignored, they will surely be a disaster for thousands of years. I think it is imminent to open the sea and trade. Western pirates are imminent. "
