The Taoist temple complex stood motionless in the faint mist among the mountains, without a trace of wind among the undulating mountains, and the clouds and smoke on the roof seemed to be still.
There were no people around, it was like a place that was completely still.
However, there is still a sound. The tone of the Gangzheng Gongshang played by the strings is staggered and melodious. In the gap between the sounds of the piano, you can still hear the noise made by the scraped wood of the piano body.
In addition, some geese were heard from somewhere, and some poultry should have been fed in the Taoist temple.
This is the environment in which Zhu Yunwen lives.
The debut temple is a rugged mountain road that is difficult to walk on. Looking at it, the mountains and forests are full of like countless cages.
However, it is still easy to move in the yard of the Taoist temple. Even so, Zhu Yunwen rarely even leaves the house door, and there is almost no sunshine all year round.
He only has a very little time to feel bored occasionally, because as a person who has been taught by great Confucianism, he has too many classics to study or annotate ancient Chinese texts himself. These are all things he is interested in; occasionally he is interested in Go for a while, and he can also play chess with eunuch Cao Shen; music, calligraphy, painting...
You can also refine elixirs in the Taoist temple.
Little work and no worries about food and clothing.But Zhu Yunwen was obviously unhappy. If humans could be satisfied with eating like animals, that would be fine.
Countless past events and things that made him ashamed came to his mind from time to time, causing him torture.He never goes out all year round, and his mentality is aggravated by his inability to be cheerful.
Often, time is still, and today is no different from tomorrow; only when you feel that safety is in danger will you feel a little, full of worry and pessimism.
He seemed to be waiting for a certain moment, or he seemed to be just scrambling to live.
At the age of fifty, he still has not come out of his youth, and maybe he can't come out even if he dies of old age.
Zhu Yunwen was originally a proud son of heaven with a high spirit. He was born as the eldest grandson of the Taizu of this dynasty. This kind of noble birth is unmatched in the world. He was born with a pampered living environment and was educated by the most knowledgeable teachers in the world and had high cultural attainments.
Therefore, when Taizu used the Hongwu reign title, he dared to use Jianwen as the title; after restoring the Han family's clothes and clothes, he wanted to revive the empire, and then report the chapters of prosperity, and be full of great ambitions after ascending the throne, and want to do a big battle...
But reality and ideals are always far apart. They only took four years to ascend the throne. Most of the four years were still in a civil war, and then they were expelled from the throne.
He has endless shame and endless hatred, no matter how intense the emotions are.
He was completely defeated by an opponent who seemed to be very weak, and his self-esteem was greatly traumatized; it was not over yet, and he saw hundreds of thousands of people die because of him, and more were displaced; in the next twenty years, he saw King Yàn's civil and military achievements, expeditions to Mongolia in the north and attacking Jiaozhi in the south, the sea fleets traverse thousands of miles, and hundreds of nations came to court, compiling the "Yongle Encyclopedia"...
The brilliant achievements of the opponent are like slapping his face every day.
Zhu Yunwen, who lost everything, felt weak, powerless and helpless...
He fell into a static space and was isolated from the world.
Sometimes he would be addicted to ancient classics, forgetting his food and sleep, and only when he was addicted could he abandon everything and feel no more pain.
No matter how glorious and promising life was, as long as you take a wrong step, you will not be able to turn the tables. It seems so short.
……
However, in recent months, Zhu Yunwen has been reading books all day long and rarely plays chess. He is very concerned about the war in Huguang and often meets the ministers who are active outside, mainly Zheng Qiao. He is very interested in asking about everything and knows the situation of Huguang well.
In the article, Zhu Yunwen personally changed his name. This person caused storms in Huguang, and the remaining party of Jianwen, who had been silent for more than 20 years, became active again.
Empress Ma had repeatedly whispered in her ears that Zhang Ning was a bastard and was Yao Ji's conspiracy; but Jianwen didn't believe in women's words before. In the past, he only believed in the words of scholars and officials, but now he has changed a little, but he still does not believe in women's views. Emperor Taizu's grandfather said that the harem should not interfere in politics.
Zhu Yunwen inquired from many sources, asked Zheng Qia to see the old token, and asked him to observe his face, thinking that Zhang Ning was his bloodline with extremely high credibility.
And if you take a step back and look at this matter, it doesn’t matter if Zhang Ning is not his species, as long as Zhang Ning recognizes it.
Unofficial history rumors say that the First Emperor was the race of Lu Buwei, but even after Ying Zheng unified the six kingdoms, he did not want to change his surname to Lu.
If he doesn't want to keep his noble bloodline, he Zhang Ning won't cause trouble for himself.
The details of Yao Ji's poisoning case that had not been sorted out before are no longer important to Zhu Yunwen.
He really wanted to see his son overthrow the existing descendants of King Yàn, which would at least satisfy Zhu Yunwen's two major wishes: First, revenge on King Yàn, and Zhu Yunwen's hatred for King Yàn is hard to describe; second, if Zhang Ning could win the world, he had to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, Zhu Yunwen's reputation and emperor's reign would be restored, and he would be able to enter the Taimiao in a hundred years, and not as official as he did now, the official did not recognize him as Jianwen's dynasty.
Goujian slept on firewood and tasted gall, and finally managed to kill the country and the family. Goujian did not have to feel shameless about the humiliation he had suffered before.
Zhu Yunwen really wanted to see the day when he avenged his previous shame!
This kind of emotion is so strong that it can be said that he dies in the morning and evening. If he sees his shame today and dies tomorrow, he will definitely smile when he dies!
The blood of the Ming royal family seemed to have always contained an extreme component, rather than bend than face reality.
This state continued until the last emperor Chongzhen. When Beijing was broken, it simply hanged itself. There were still many emperors who committed suicide after they had already broken the capital, and there were only one emperor.
This extreme character continued throughout the Ming Dynasty. The emperor was unwilling to compromise, and he did not care about the fact that he did not marry, and he did not care about the pros and cons.
Zhu Yunwen is no exception. During the twenty years of despair, he had nothing, and never felt humiliated or wanted to take revenge, even if the enemy was his relative.
...After Zheng Qia came back, Zhu Yunwen secretly summoned him alone again.
In front of a statue of god, Zheng Qia knelt down and bowed.The eunuch Cao Shen silently closed the door. This eunuch was the person he trusted the most, including Jianwen.
After Zheng Qia was helped up by Zhu Yunwen, he bowed and said: After the Zhuque army captured Wuchang Mansion, Mrs. Yao held a banquet at the royal mansion to celebrate, and sent an invitation to the old minister through a detailed foundation, and the minister went.Mrs. Yao proposed to let the emperor ascend the throne again and give orders to the world.Later, I met Mrs. Yao again and found out that this was not only Mrs. Yao’s intention, but also the idea of King Xiang.
Why do Master Zheng think they want me to come out?Zhu Yunwen asked.
Zheng Qiao said: I have traveled around the various prefectures in Huguang these days before I came back. I found that the Xiang King's troops were mostly recruiting the military troops of the garrison, and the governance of local prefectures and counties was completely dependent on surrendered local officials.I think these people are unreliable and may be in civil unrest over time.It is not enough to win the hearts of the people if the King of Hunan wants to win the hearts of the people alone; but if the emperor ascends the throne and brings kindness to the world, those who have already surrender to the King of Hunan will be more legitimate, and the Zhuque army uses martial arts more properly.
Zhu Yunwen walked a few steps and asked again: Mr. Zheng means that if I become emperor again, I can boost my literary strength; but if I don’t want to come out of the mountain, they may be in trouble?
That's exactly that.Zheng Qia said.
Zhu Yunwen said: The real military power is in the hands of Wenbiao. Will it be detrimental to the prince in the future?Once I come out of the mountain, I may find it difficult to get out again...
This... Zheng Qia quickly lowered his head and did not dare to answer this question.This kind of question cannot be answered by the ministers, and it is only up to Zhu Yunwen to understand it himself, perhaps he has already understood it.
Wen Kui and some people may not agree.Zhu Yunwen said bluntly.
Zheng Qiao said: Mrs. Yao did not ask the prince to go to Huguang with the emperor.They also knew that the prince had some misunderstandings and some barriers, so they could make it clear that the prince could make some demands and conditions.
Zhu Yunwen thought for a while, then turned to Zheng Qia and said: You should go to see the prince. He just came back from Guangdong the previous month, so you can deal with it.
The minister received the order.
Then Zheng Qia did not meet the prince directly, but first met a few people living near the Taoist temple, and then met the prince Zhu Wenkui.
Zheng Qia used some tricks to imply that Jianwenjun had agreed to the matter of coming out of the mountain to ascend the throne, and preconceived ideas made the prince realize that he could not force it.
In fact, even if the younger brother of the crown prince Zhu Wenkui is in power in the future, the situation of the crown prince is not much worse than that now. If you take advantage of it, you may be able to become a real vassal king...
What does he have now? He is a prince? He has nothing except a status that has no substantial benefits, and he hides everywhere like bandits and refugees.
However, Zhu Wenkui was worried about his safety, and the other was that he was influenced by his mare Queen, who had a deep grudge between Queen Ma and Mrs. Yao.
Sure enough, after Wen Kui met Zheng Qia, Empress Ma tried her best to ask Wen Kui to make suggestions and dispel Jianwenjun's idea of leaving the mountain.
Empress Ma believes that once Yao Ji has a chance, she will never let her go. She would rather everyone finish the game together than be controlled by her.
But Wen Kui and Empress Ma and his son have different ideas.Wen Kui was born as Prince Jianwen and was young. He was very unwilling to accept it when Zhang Ning learned about his life experience.
He said in front of Queen Ma: Wenbiao was able to raise an army in Huguang by relying on a group of mountain citizens. Why can't I use this to raise a matter and wait for others to be controlled?I have long wanted to start a military army, but a group of old ministers said all day long that there is no chance or possibility. As a result, what you do in the world is definitely not going to happen if you look at the writing statement?The current situation is better than before. The power of "Yàn King" was split from the Yangtze River by King Han and Wenbiao, and the south has a great chance.If I raise troops in a certain place in the south and then advance to Guangdong, and gather old subordinates there, there is great potential for me to join forces and achieve something!
Empress Ma hurriedly dissuaded him, but Wen Kui couldn't listen to this matter and was unwilling to obey his mother's words. He was thinking about the uprising: Just as Wen said that he wanted conditions, I wanted guns and cannons.Wenbiao repeatedly defeated the official army, and it was this sharp thing. I had to use a batch of firearms to cause trouble... I also had to cast the method. If I occupy the territory in the future, we will cast it ourselves...
There were no people around, it was like a place that was completely still.
However, there is still a sound. The tone of the Gangzheng Gongshang played by the strings is staggered and melodious. In the gap between the sounds of the piano, you can still hear the noise made by the scraped wood of the piano body.
