Chapter 584: Two Song Dynasties and Three Hundred Years, Yanyun has never been restored
Li Zhi looked through the old lama’s notes. The handwriting was extremely messy, and the recorded content was not easy to distinguish. It was more like scattered thoughts while traveling. , the old lama's notes, and the very rare Mongolian text. This part of the content needs to be translated by Tongshi.
Li Zhi and his party were trapped in Kaipingwei, and the heavy snow ravaged most of the north. Snowflakes also fell on the Jingtang and the roof of the imperial study room of Tonghe Palace.
The imperial study room of Tonghe Palace is a warm pavilion. Zhu Yijun is wearing a big cloak and looking at a memorial in his hand. This memorial was written by the great medical officers of Jieyuan Hospital. It studies the diseases of flowers and willows and withering and blooming. disease treatments.
In summary, it is to work hard to achieve miracles and to survive after death.
When Chen Lin pacified the private market in Sanduao, he escorted a group of slaves controlled by opium to Beijing to conduct opium withdrawal experiments in the Jiejuyuan. Although Fan Yingqi's opium addiction was serious, Compared with this group of prisoners, there is a huge difference.
This group of captives were originally fishermen from coastal villages. They were robbed by pirates and controlled by opium. Going to a drug rehabilitation center was secondary, but the illness in their body needed treatment.
Most people addicted to opiates suffer from all kinds of strange and bizarre diseases. These diseases are highly contagious, and the great medical officials are very cautious in handling them. Later, during the treatment process, A cure for high fever was discovered.
It is these patients who do not interfere when they have a high fever. They wait for three hours before interfering. In this way, the disease-causing bugs are burned to death and the person recovers.
The only problem is that with this therapy, the survival rate is about nine deaths. A total of 18 specimens from the Jiefuan Hospital underwent high fever therapy. Only three people survived, and two people recovered. One burned into a fool.
This high fever therapy also has a miraculous effect on a very difficult disease called cancer.
Since the little emperor took a prism and showed it to Zhang Juzheng, refracting light into seven colors, the optics of the Ming Dynasty has developed greatly. Since then, there have been telescopes and microscopes. After the Ming Dynasty had the microscope, Finally, the door to the microscopic world has been opened, and the boundaries of cognition have been extensively explored. High fever therapy can kill disease-causing plague and normal body cells.
So, hyperthermia therapy is a real life-and-death gamble where you die or I die, and it is the last resort of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
For example, Shi Maohua, who had stepped into the gate of hell before, had to go to Suiyuan, but he developed a high fever before setting off. The fever lasted for two days, and his whole body was as hot as a fire stick. My fingers, elbows and other joints cannot bend or stretch on my own. Only my eyelids can move my whole body. My lips are chapped. I cannot sit up for seven days after the fever subsides. I have blood in my urine, convulsions and night sweats all the time, and I have intermittent nightmares.
It was during that time that Pang Xian reported to the court that Shi Maohua might not be around for long. He was dying, and the Ministry of Rites also began to prepare for posthumous official funerals and other matters.
After the high fever, there was a month-long recovery period. After his body recovered a little, Shi Maohua believed that he was not going to die soon, so he immediately went to Suiyuan. The great medical officer Pang Xian had no choice but to set off with Shi Maohua. But Shi Maohua is still in good health now and his spirit is much better.
After research on a special sample, Jiecuyuan believes that regular and periodic exercise is the best way to maintain health.
Because during exercise, people will breathe quickly, and the muscles will start to heat up, and the body temperature will rise rapidly. After long-term observation, the body temperature can be maintained above 40° for a short period of time after strenuous exercise. High temperature, in this case, will cause a complete round of detoxification in the body.
This process, Li Shizhen and Chen Shigong, the chief medical officers of Jieyuan Hospital, call it: the completion of human beings.
Killing is an inevitable process for the detoxification of sweet potato seedlings, and human exercise is a periodic detoxification, which is beneficial to the health of the body.
The special sample observed by the Jieguyuan is His Majesty the Emperor. The Emperor's body is in excellent health. Since practicing martial arts, he has only occasionally felt cold once. However, the Emperor relied on his youth and strong firepower to ignore the late spring cold. Then something went wrong.
If your Majesty insists on exercising, and has a regular schedule and a healthy diet, your Majesty will maintain long-term health. This is great news for the Ming Dynasty, but of course it is a piece of news for the humble Confucians. a bolt from the blue.
"Sitting for a long time will lead to loss of safety, while fighting can lead to longevity." Zhu Yijun read the final summary of the Jiecui Yuan. The Jiecui Yuan fully recognized His Majesty's amount of exercise and kept it at an extremely high level all year round, but within a reasonable level.
Your Majesty's physical condition is a problem that makes the humble scholar feel desperate. Your Majesty cannot survive it.
The statement "Jie Ji Yuan" actually explains some things.
For example, when Zhao Guangyi was racing in Gaoliang River, why was he hit by two arrows? Dinghai and Wuzi fled from Zhuozhou to Dingzhou on the 2nd, a total of 380 miles. After being injured, they still ran for so long, and they could still run Lived so long;
For example, why the longest-lived emperor of the Ming Dynasty was Zhu Yuanzhang, who lived to 71 years old, and the second-longest lived emperor was Zhu Di, who lived to 64 years old? Because these are all immediate emperors, and after that, none of them Those who have not lived past the age of 60 will naturally not be able to live forever because they do not detoxify themselves and do not cure themselves periodically.
Of course, this explanation also makes the matter of Ming Wuzong never getting better after falling into the water even more confusing.
Ming Wuzong is not the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He is a good boy. His activity level is greater than that of Zhu Yijun, but in the end he still cannot withstand the water-soluble curse of the Ming Emperor.
After the memorial of Jiegeyuan entered the court, it immediately triggered the impeachment of the court officials. Any achievements of Jiegeyuan would be impeached, because in the eyes of the court officials, a place like Jiegeyuan, It shouldn't exist, its existence is wrong, and its results are even more wrong!
This time, the angle of criticizing the memorial of Jieju Yuan is that the Jieju Yuan is clamoring for new policies more intensely, and is trying to increase taxes and create public opinion!
According to Jiegeyuan, high fever can cure diseases. Now that the Ming Dynasty is sick, is it necessary to implement more drastic new policies, such as raising taxes, to eliminate the long-standing evils?
The officials of the Ming Dynasty are now extremely sensitive to tax increases. Whenever there is any slight disturbance, they will associate it with it for no reason, and then spontaneously resist. This is somewhat overreacting, which shows that they are really afraid of this.
"Li Shizhen and Chen Shigong made it very clear. In this narrow escape, three of the eighteen people survived, and one became a fool. The officials were really in a state of panic, and everything was in danger." Zhu Yijun looked at it Those piles of memorials were an expression of opposition to the inhumanity of the Jiefang Yuan, and they were also a test of the emperor's attitude toward tax increases.
Zhang Juzheng just posted a floating ticket and frightened the officials like frightened birds.
"Who allowed them to have nothing to do but criticize Li Rusong and a few young generals? It was the court officials who committed the offense first. I don't blame you and the martial arts officers for fighting back. They were martial arts heroes. How can there be any martial arts integrity? Who deserved the beating? Li Rusong can't stand this anger anymore, they deserve it," Feng Bao said cheerfully.
The ancestor Feng Bao, who could speak ill of civil servants but never said anything good, found every opportunity to give them some eye drops.
Zhang Juzheng is the uncle of Yicheng, the kind who has a world certificate! Therefore, Zhang Juzheng's current stance is that of Wu Xun, and it is natural that he is colluding with Wu Xun.
Because Zhang Juzheng saw very clearly that the current leader of the Wuxun Young Master Sect seems to be Li Rusong, but in fact he is His Majesty himself.
The entire Young Heroes faction revolves around the emperor, which plays a vital role in the stability of the country and the implementation of the New Deal.
As for the attitude of people around Zhu Yijun towards civil servants, and the deep-rooted prejudice against civil servants in Zhu Yijun's heart, this knot can never be untied. There is simply no such environment.
"It is indeed deserved." Zhu Yijun thought for a while and drew a circle on these memorials. It was neither a check mark nor a wrong mark, but a circle, indicating an ambiguous attitude, that is, he had read it. , did not reply. As for what he meant, these civil servants who are worried about tax increases can guess for themselves!
“These congratulatory lists are interesting.” Zhu Yijun lined up several congratulatory lists. It’s the New Year again. Officials from all over the country have to write such a congratulatory list to congratulate them on the New Year. It’s time to pay New Year’s greetings to the Emperor. In theory, all officials in the world are disciples of the Emperor, so it is part of etiquette for disciples to write congratulations to their teachers and wish them New Year’s greetings.
The congratulatory books in Zhu Yijun’s hands are all from Shandong.
The powerful right-wingers in Shandong have finally followed the footsteps of the powerful right-wingers in Guangdong and Guangxi. These congratulations have the same meaning: Come back, my Governor Lingda.
When it comes to torturing people, Wang Jiaping is really good at it, or rather scholars are good at it, because now the wealthy people on the ground in Shandong are also asking Ling Yunyi to return to Shandong through various channels. That Wang Yi He is really not a human being.
Wang Yi'e learned from Wang Jiaping's successful experience and began to play riddles. He was used to Ling Yunyi's resolute and decisive style of doing things. Wang Yi'e, a scholar like Wang Yi'e, found it really difficult to accept the soft nails. .
Come or not? Tathagata; whether to accept or not, if accepted;
It would be better for Ling Yunyi to directly publish a list and tell everyone how much they want, and how much each family will apportion based on the number of acres of land.
Zhu Yijun soon discovered why Ling Yunyi loved killing people so much. These powerful people asked Ling Butang to go back because it was fair.
For example, in this apportionment, Ling Yunyi apportioned it based on the number of acres of land in Qingzhang. For example, if a county is building water conservancy and needs silver, grain, etc., how much each household will receive is announced on a list. If your family has more land, you will receive more, and his family will receive less. He took less, and by doing so, no one was so resentful. After all, the rule was very clear.
Every time a canal or a bridge was repaired, the pledgers were ranked, carved into stone tablets, and placed at the head of the bridge or beside the ditch. Fame, good reputation, merit.
Just like the Chidao from the capital of the Ming Dynasty to Shanhaiguan, it was called Chonggu Chidao. Zhu Yijun also wrote it in his own handwriting, got a stone from the boss, and placed it at the starting point of the Chidao. Wang Chonggu wished he could sleep with that tablet in his arms!
The same is true in places. My family is rich. In order to accumulate merits such as building bridges, roads and water conservancy projects, it is not bad to have a stone tablet if we spend money and food.
Wang Yi'e is not like this. The Chidao from Tianjin to Mizhou is under construction. The entire section requires 12.37 million silver. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty gave 7 million silver to fund the internal funds, and the remaining silver was It is funded by national funds and local governments. Shandong Ground has to bear about three million silver. The construction period is three years, which is about one million silver per year.
Originally, powerful people are all waiting for the list. Shandong is so big. If it is really divided, each family will have as many as two or three thousand taels or as few as several hundred taels. For those who can be characterized as powerful people As far as you are concerned, this little money will not hurt your muscles and bones, and the benefits of running through it are obvious at a glance.
Waiting and waiting, the wealthy families in Shandong did not wait for the announcement of the list. The decree given by Wang Yi'e was to freely pledge donations. You can give more or less, it all depends on your heart.
Not traveling? Of course, as long as you can afford the consequences.
"If I were a wealthy family in Shandong, I would be scolding my mother. This Wang Yi'e is really not a thing." Zhu Yijun put himself in his shoes and thought about it. If Wang Yi'e builds a stone monument, it would be easier than going directly to hell. If he does too little, he will be scolded by others, but if he does too much, he won't even have a good reputation.
The biggest fear is that someone secretly donates more to gain favor from the governor and gain a competitive advantage.
"Ling Butang's method is very fair, but it is only possible because everyone is afraid of the knife in Ling Butang's hand. If Wang Yi'e does this, I'm afraid he won't receive even half a tael of silver, because others We are not afraid of him, so we can only do this to make them fight among themselves." Feng Baoze saw it very clearly.
Ling Yunyi can do this because he has guest soldiers. Wang Jiaping and Wang Yi'e cannot do this because they have no guest soldiers.
Zhu Yijun nodded with deep understanding, Governor Ling would not go back, and Shandong's powerful powerful people could only continue to be tortured by scholars.
Fairness is a very rare public resource at any time. When you enjoy it, you often don’t take it seriously and take it for granted. When you lose it, you regret it.
"Your Majesty, the Zhengya Bell and Drum Tower will be completed tomorrow. Wang Cifu and Wange Lao invite your Majesty to attend the ceremony." Feng Bao picked out a very important memorial and placed it in front of His Majesty. The Zhengya Bell and Drum Tower is The Drum Tower, built by His Majesty the Emperor, is responsible for telling the time in the capital.
Theoretically, this thing is not a grand construction, but a spectacle. At the beginning, Wang Chonggu proposed to use it for the Queen Mother’s birthday, but Queen Mother Li was determined not to allow it. The lively thing is, just don't build it in her name. A pagoda is enough to be scolded. A bell and drum tower costs 1.2 million silver, which is a whole year's worth of gold and silver!
Eventually it became the emperor’s order, and its main function was to tell the time. "Next chapter of the cabinet, I will go there on time tomorrow." Zhu Yijun looked at the time. It was just in time to go after the court meeting. It only takes a few steps from the Cultural Hall to the Donghua Gate.
The court meeting the next day was not long. It has already entered December. The main content of the court meeting was various year-end accounts. These accounts are somewhat trivial and will be discussed in December. A comprehensive summary will be conducted at the end of the month for the emperor to understand the current situation of the Ming Dynasty.
There was a heavy snowfall in the capital. At a time when coal prices were stable, everyone was grateful for the timely snowfall, because auspicious snow heralded a good year, and next year would not be a disaster year. If it didn’t snow, the next year would be a disaster. There will be locusts, the land will be drought, the food harvest will fail, food prices will rise, the cost of living will increase, acute conflicts between man and land will emerge from the water, fierce conflicts will cause turmoil, coupled with man-made disasters, This is why people inside and outside the Ming Dynasty are looking forward to snowing.
"No, Mr. Wange has read history books, including the history of Liao and Jin?" Zhu Yijun looked at Wan Shi and the memorials, and he was so happy that this great uncle would study such eccentric historical materials.
"It's more interesting. I was originally curious as to why Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty kept his experience of defeat at Gaoliang River. I checked the history of the Song Dynasty and couldn't find it. It turns out that both Song Dynasties avoided this issue. After talking about it, I had to look up the history of the Liao Dynasty to find the specific source." Wan Shihe talked about the reason why he read the history of the Liao Dynasty and the history of the Jin Dynasty.
The allusion of the God of War in the Sorghum River is widely circulated. The wind and sand raised by the donkey cart that day have been talked about tirelessly forever.
There is no record of this matter in the history of the Song Dynasty. This is a taboo for the venerable people. Similarly, the Ming Dynasty retained all the experiences of the Mingbao Zong Zhu Qizhen when he was captured and the hunting in the north, because the Ming Dynasty reciprocally retaliated. In the fifth year of Jingtai, he was also killed first, and his head was sent to the Ming Dynasty to receive a reward.
After the Spring and Autumn Period, there was no great meaning, only the record of events. Since Zhu Xi advocated this, scholars in the Ming Dynasty only read the Spring and Autumn Period and did not read history books, all for the fictitious other side of the Three Dynasties.
But since Liang Menglong compiled the "Historical Essentials" for His Majesty the Emperor to read history, this bad trend has finally stopped. Now all scholars in the Ming Dynasty read history books. After all, the emperor knew things that the ministers did not Knowing that, it seems extremely embarrassing.
"If Song Taizong could destroy the Liao Kingdom, then the two arrows in the sorghum river stock would probably be as good a story as lying on the firewood and tasting gallbladder. But Song Taizong failed to do it. During the two Song and three hundred years, I have never returned to Yanyun," Wan Shihe said with emotion.
Goujian, the king of Yue, slept on firewood and ate gall, and slept in a firewood shed to eat gall. In exchange, he got three thousand Yuejia to devour Wu, and finally got his revenge. Talking about Goujian, the king of Yue, no one will laugh at Goujian's disgraceful actions. past.
If Zhao Guangyi could later destroy the Liao Kingdom, his experience would not be a joke, but a bit of trouble on the road to success.
Zhao Guangyi did not do it, and neither did his descendants.
"It's very good. Just sign up for the newspaper." Zhu Yijun once again affirmed Wan Shihe's research on this period of history.
In this study, in addition to Zhao Guangyi's defeat at Gaolianghe, there was another battle, the Battle of Tongguan.
During the Anshi Rebellion, the main responsibility for the defeat of Tongguan was naturally that after Li Longji raised his troops in Anlu Mountain, he lost his sense of proportion, destroyed his own pillars, unjustly killed Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi, and then repeatedly urged Ge Shuhan to send troops. It was the repeated urging to advance troops that led to Ge Shuhan's defeat.
But Wan Shihe's research found that this general, Shu Han, who was sealed in the sky and had a different surname from Wang on the imperial censorship platform, was not really that loyal.
Ge Shuhan led 200,000 troops to garrison Tongguan. These 200,000 men were not the rabble under Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi, but elite soldiers from the two towns of Longyou, Hexi. It's elite.
The soldiers from the two towns of Longyou in Hexi Province captured most of the Qinghai Plateau during the Kaiyuan period, interrupting the expansion of Tubo during its rising period.
A Turkic Turk led the most elite troops that the Tang Dynasty could mobilize. In Tongguan, he faced only 80,000 rebels and had no plans to attack for half a year. What kind of emperor would this be? , I will have doubts in my heart, and I will also be afraid that this brother Shu Han will not suppress the rebellion and will go to Chang'an instead. Moreover, this brother Shu Han has a very good relationship with the prince Li Heng.
In such a complicated situation, the real reason that prompted Li Longji to urge Ge Shuhan to march into the army was the death of An Sishun.
During the Kaiyuan period, An Sishun reminded Li Longji to be careful of Anlu Mountain. Moreover, regardless of Li Longji's trust in Anlu Mountain, he repeatedly warned that Anlu Mountain was rebelling, and the famous Guo Ziyi , Li Guangbi and others were all An Sishun's generals.
Brother Shuhan led strong troops in Tongguan and falsely accused An Sishun of wanting to report an old grudge and ask the emperor to kill An Sishun. Li Longji could only kill An Sishun to appease his brother Shuhan.
After An Sishun was killed, Li Longji began to frequently send people to urge Ge Shuhan to come out of seclusion. Ge Shuhan went out to fight. The 200,000 Tang troops were defeated by 80,000 rebels. After Ge Shuhan was captured, even more He surrendered directly to An Lushan and said: Your Majesty is the leader of the rebellion. Today there is no peace, Li Guangbi is in Tumen, Lai Qi is in Henan, and Lu Jiong is in Nanyang. Your Majesty, I will call him with a ruler, and he will be leveled on three sides.
Ge Shuhan surrendered so happily and so respectfully, which made An Lushan ecstatic and in a happy mood.
Wan Shihe commented on this paragraph and believed that the reason why he always promoted his brother Shu Han was mainly to reflect Li Longji's incompetence and arrogance.
As for the failure of the key battle of the Anshi Rebellion, the Battle of Tongguan, Wan Shihe believed that the main responsibility was Li Longji's years of slackness, haste, no one available, improper employment, and strategic mistakes.
At that time, Ge Shuhan was already very old, had suffered a stroke, and was hemiplegic. The imperial court looked at it for a long time and could only send such a general to the front line. That meant that the imperial court had no one to use. Is it inappropriate?
Ge Shuhan is already old and can't fight anymore. If he puts the bears into a nest and fights against tigers and wolves like An Lushan and Shi Siming, there is only one result.
Wan Shihe's criticism of Li Longji was mainly due to strategic mistakes. Li Longji made so many absurd decisions during the Anshi Rebellion, with only one purpose: he wanted a quick victory.
An Sishun's strategy is: hold on to Tongguan and let Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi steal the house.
This strategy was also the consensus at the time. The only drawback was that it was a bit slow.
An Sishun was the only person in the court who could stop Li Longji from wanting a quick victory. As a result, An Sishun was killed. Li Longji wanted to win quickly, so he trusted An Lu. Like a mountain, no one can advise him, which ultimately led to the Battle of Tongguan.
Zhu Yijun suddenly thought of Li Chengliang.
After Li Chengliang left Liaodong in the 19th year of Wanli, the situation in Liaodong gradually deteriorated. In the 29th year of Wanli, Shen Yiguan, the chief minister of the cabinet, looked around and could only activate the ten-year idle system again. Seventy-six-year-old Li Chengliang returned to Liaodong.
No one was available, which was also the dilemma at that time.
As for Song Taizong's defeat in the Northern Expedition and the Battle of Tongguan, Wan Shihe reanalyzed these two typical cases based on the theory of contradiction. In fact, he reminded the emperor to be prepared for danger in times of peace and to respect the development of things. objective laws.
Contradictions talk about the laws of development of things. It is said that it does not freeze three feet in a day, and it does not take a moment to thaw. Everything has an objective law of development, and the new policy cannot be too hasty.
"In my opinion, those bastards called Mr. Wange Wuguwei Wanwugu, which is completely wrong. In this article, who dares to say that Mr. Wangewuguwei is upright?" Zhu Yijun criticized. Wan Shihe's long speech was published in Di Bao.
The person talking about Zhao Guangyi and Li Longji are actually just admonishing His Majesty.
Wan Shihe was expressing his opposition to the tax increase. He believed that the court did not need to be so eager. Both Zhao Guangyi and Li Longji were defeated because they wanted to win quickly, and haste makes waste.
They all opposed the tax increase, and Wan Shihe's approach was approved by the emperor. However, the opposition of other court officials made the emperor mock him as a frightened bird.
"I thank your Majesty for your compliments." Wan Shihe bowed his head again to thank him. His reputation was entirely upheld by your Majesty.
"Your Majesty, I have this memorial here." The cabinet minister Wang Guoguang presented a memorial to the emperor. Zhu Yijun opened it and took a look, frowning and looking solemn.
"I will discuss this memorial after I have read it carefully." Zhu Yijun put the memorial in his sleeve with great solemnity.
Now that the court meeting is over, we have to go to Donghua Gate to witness the completion of the Zhengya Bell and Drum Tower. This is also a big event, and it needs to be done little by little.
A viewing platform was set up outside Donghua Gate. There was a handover ceremony for the official completion of the Bell and Drum Tower. It was probably after Wang Chonggu and Wang Daokun led officials from the Ministry of Industry to make a final inspection of the Zhengya Bell and Drum Tower. It was handed over to the Ministry of Rites for use, and the Ministry of Rites was responsible for sending the fireman's watchmen to guard the Bell and Drum Tower.
There are four clock dials on the Bell and Drum Tower. The minute hand alone is one foot, two feet and eight minutes long. The diameter of the entire dial is more than two feet. The pendulum clock in the entire bell room weighs 27,000 kilograms, which is about twice the weight of the Ruyi Golden Cudgel. It's heavy. For such a big thing, the clockwork needs to be wound every three days. It also needs to be calibrated once every three days.
When Zhu Yijun came to Donghua Gate, the entire Donghua Gate was much more lively than on the day when the results of the joint examination and palace examination were released. The left and right wings of the viewing platform were filled with court officials and foreign envoys.
Wang Chonggu led many officials from the Ministry of Industry into the Bell and Drum Tower and made a symbolic inspection. Before that, the craftsmen had carefully checked all the details. Wang Chonggu led people into the Bell and Drum Tower. It was just a formality. After careful inspection, Wang Chonggu handed the key to Feng Bao.
"Your Majesty, Wang Chonggu, was ordered to lead the grand construction of the tripod. On the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month in the eleventh year of Wanli, it was delivered as scheduled. Your Majesty, please review it." Wang Chonggu stood under the viewing platform, bowed his head and said loudly.
"Your Majesty, please read it." The officials of the Ministry of Industry bowed their heads and asked for orders.
Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said: "Then let's go and have a look together."
The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not move, because Tishuai Zhao Mengyou led people into the Bell and Drum Tower for a final security check before inviting the Emperor to go.
This is very necessary. What if the hour and minute hands of the Bell and Drum Tower, which are more than thirty feet above the ground, fall from the sky and fall on the emperor?
When Zhu Di rode into Jinan Mansion on horseback, he did not expect that the thousand-jin gate would fall at the city gate. Zhu Di's horse was killed, and Zhu Di escaped by luck.
So the necessary security checks are for the safety of the emperor and for the good of the ministers.
