The south gate of the Higashima capital Kyoto is named Rashomon. It experienced a long war before the thirteenth century. A simple story happened in that chaotic world.
One day, there were heavy rains, and three Japanese people sheltered from Rashomon and talked about a criminal case: a samurai and his wife passed by a barren mountain and encountered an unexpected accident. His wife was insulted and the samurai was brutally killed.
The result of the tragedy is clear at a glance, but the process is simple and confused.
The four people each had their own opinions, including the murderer, his wife, the witch who testified the soul of the warrior, and the witness Tchai Fu.
There is only one truth, but the purpose of each person providing testimony is different; in each person's narrative, his morality is beautified, and even if he commits a sin, he seems to be forgiven, while the greed, debauchery, fear of death of others are fully exposed in the process of telling...
Zhang Ning talked about four similar but subtle processes one by one, all of which were reasonable.
However, the conclusions of the four characters in the story are either good or bad, sympathetic or despised are very different. An innocent person who was originally worthy of sympathy and a mouth change his narration is completely different, and no one can judge the good or bad morality and the truth.
Yao Ji gradually got into the role and nodded thoughtfully from time to time.
This kind of thing is very common in the palace. Distorting the facts and saying bad things about others is a conventional intrigue method, so Yao Ji is naturally very familiar with it...
It's just that no one has made up something like this into a story before this.
At this time, Zhang Ning sighed softly: As the saying goes, you will be dark when you listen to both sides, and you will be clear when you listen to some things more often than not, but it is not necessarily clear when you listen to a few people's descriptions. It's just that what everyone wants to hide is different.This is inevitable whether it is family or state affairs.Just like the prince was poisoned, what version did my mother think Queen Ma and others would use?
Hearing this, Yao Ji suddenly understood Zhang Ning's purpose of telling the story, and she frowned and pondered.
Zhang Ning sent a while the iron was hot and persuaded: The secret letter from the above did not hold you responsible for your crimes. That is because the emperor and his ministers were concerned about many implications, especially because they were the officials of the current censors and had many secrets of the Jianwen Party, so they did not dare to move lightly... But Wu Yong's death could not contain the fire, and his ministers' situation in the court was in danger. When we lost all the conditions for checks and balances and bargaining, would we only pray for the pity of the emperor and Empress Ma at that time?
Yao Ji still lowered her head and said nothing. Zhang Ning couldn't help but say another sentence: As the saying goes, there will be immediate worries without long-term considerations. Now it should be time to make a long-term plan. Please give me a clear look.
But the uprising matter you mentioned yesterday has almost no chance of winning.
She finally looked up and looked at Zhang Ning's face naturally. She was so embarrassed to stare at him like this...
Maybe it was because I was vaguely guarding against something, or I was unable to face it in my heart, after all, that unspeakable thing happened.
But it was not because Yao Ji hated the face in front of her. In fact, she thought Zhang Ning's appearance was very attractive.
Although his face looked a little haggard these days, his face was faintly dark, and the shallow beard on his mouth seemed to have become thicker; but the correct facial contour and facial features would not change, his young, flat and wide forehead, his two sword eyebrows were quite heroic, and his straight nose bridge under his bright eyes made his face look three-dimensional. His lips and chin raised their pride when they occasionally showed off their proud mentality.
This kind of handsome but not dandy and coquettish feeling is most in line with Yao Ji's vision.
Somehow, Yao Ji felt that his serious and nervousness when he was worried was the most beautiful, and he also had the look when he was serious and focused on writing...
She stared at Zhang Ning for a long time, but she forgot about the annoyance for a moment, and a smile appeared on her face.
It’s not her fault. She has been closed here for too long, and her senses are almost numb, and her suppressed and bored mood cannot be relieved for a long time.
What is most likely to stimulate people's senses and mood are just some simple, superficial and even low-level and interesting things, such as the appearance that people like...
In comparison, such as worrying about the future that has not yet happened, although important, it seems too abstract. For a moment, Yao Ji seemed insensitive and had no feelings, but was attracted by Zhang Ning's face and his low and orderly tone.
Zhang Ning was puzzled by the sudden smile she showed. Is it because she was persuaded to agree to raise an army?But expressing approval with a smile seems inaccurate.He couldn't guess thoroughly, and he was silent for a while with doubts on his face.
Yao Ji quickly came to her senses and said casually: You said.
say what?Zhang Ning asked.
Yao Ji said: How do you plan to raise an army?
Zhang Ning hurriedly bowed, thinking about the language, and said: As far as I know, there are tens of thousands of believers in warding off cults?Although these people cannot be used all of them, they should be sure to select a few of them as the foundation for the work.It is difficult to finish the matter at the beginning. As long as the power develops and a ruling system is established, the people under their rule will gradually recognize our legitimate power. As long as the war situation is good, the source of troops will not dry up.
So I think the problem in the early stage is to govern people, while weapons and equipment and military spending are secondary; the problem in the middle and late stages is the hearts of the people, the hearts of scholars and the hearts of the people...
Yao Ji couldn't help but interrupt his talk and said softly: Although I am a woman, I am not a military service, but I only ask you two things: First, there are many cultists, but they don't think there is hope for rebellion. How do you convince them to go to the battlefield to save your life?Second, since Yongle, the puppet dynasty has consolidated its military and political power. It is impossible for the officers and soldiers to surrender when they take the banner of Jianwenjun. Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of elite troops in the two capitals, even if the Huguang province mobilizes troops to suppress it, you have neither good general nor elite soldiers. How can a group of believers who have never been to the battlefield or have no weapons fight against officers and soldiers wearing armor and holding sharp weapons with superior firearms, and how can they avoid being eliminated immediately?
Zhang Ning said seriously: These two questions of mother are exactly the easiest.
oh?Yao Ji seemed to listen curiously.
Zhang Ning said: The first question is that as long as the cultists believe that the court will quickly eliminate them, especially those branch leaders of all sizes, who have neither legal identities nor land industries, and many people may not even have a skill. What is the situation if they lose the cultists?The second question is that the equipment of officers and soldiers may be inferior to ours, and I can make better weapons.
Yao Ji said in surprise: You used to study hard and later became a civil servant. What can you do to get armor and firearms?Could it be that talents can be won in the officialdom, but the manpower and material resources forging armor are consumed hugely, and military expenditure is also a problem.
Zhang Ning didn't know how to explain for a moment, and he couldn't say that he had traveled through time.
Of course, things after the Industrial Revolution cannot be produced in just a few years and months, because there are too many conditions for industry; but why do you have to do industry now?
It is enough to be more advanced than the fire gate guns used by officers and soldiers. Zhang Ning feels that it is not too difficult to achieve this.
He pondered for a moment and said: I don’t know how to discuss it, but I can do it to make my mother believe it before the army rises.
Yao Ji thought for a while and said: You have an uncle who manages more than 200 villages and towns in the mountains of Yongshunsi. The people there are either outsiders who fled from Jianwen Dynasty or cultists. If there are food, there are people. I can recommend you to find him first... It’s not that I don’t believe you, but this kind of big thing cannot be hasty.
Very good, I'm ready to go there.Zhang Ning said in surprise, I have an uncle?
Yao Ji said: Others called him Monk Yao. After the Nanjing Battle, he fled out of the capital and became a monk to hide. Later, Hu Ying checked the national monks and Taoists' certificates, so he had to bring some acquaintances to ward off the cult to retaliate from the cult to join me, my sister. He returned to the secular world of Yongshun Si and married and had children, but he didn't ask why he didn't get enough hair.Later he got the nickname "Monkey".If you go to his place to do business, your relatives can trust you more.
Zhang Ning nodded: My mother sent someone to me, so I will go back to Changde to do something, and then ask someone to lead the way to find the uncle whom I had never met before.
Yao Ji said: Let Qiuye and you.
Zhang Ning thought a little in his heart and couldn't help but whisper: I heard that the four great counselors, Qiuye and Dongxue were sent by the top, but my mother asked her to follow me, but I don't know what the purpose was?
Yao Ji said: People can change.Qiuye is my person, so she is so familiar with you, and it is just right to win over... She explained everything you did that night.
Zhang Ning was embarrassed, and heard Yao Ji laughing softly: Do you like such a big person?Apart from the Taohua Fairy, who is Zheng Qia's man, did Xu Wenjun not serve in bed?
without.
Zhang Ning's face was a little hot, thinking to himself, don't you just entertain yourself in the secret room below?
He didn't pay attention for a moment and subconsciously looked into the curtain.
Seeing his gaze, Yao Ji quickly understood something, and her face turned red.
Her blushed face looked extremely beautiful, as if she was drunk and as if she was extremely shy.
Zhang Ning was stunned and couldn't control himself.
Unexpectedly, Yao Ji's expression gradually became cold and she said softly: Forget about Qiuye last time, you should pay attention to your reputation in the future and not have any rumors of debauchery among the world.The Yao family has a scholarly family, and I am a concubine of the royal family. I should be polite and uphold my integrity and will not let you be ridiculed for me.
Suddenly, he felt like he was rejected for a thousand miles, so Zhang Ning had to politely say: Yes.But seeing that the pear blossom tea on Yao Jiduan’s desk stopped talking, he stood up and said goodbye tactfully.
Back in the wing room, Zhang Ning took out the memorial written yesterday from his arms and checked it, and put it back on his pocket, because he decided to go back to Changde Mansion, so he didn't need to ask someone to deliver these things back to Yuanshui Tea Garden, just take them back by himself.
He saw that the day was setting west outside the door, and he woke up today in the afternoon, so he had to set the departure time tomorrow.So he sat down before the desk, supported his chin with his elbow, and sorted out all the trivial matters to be done in his mind.
The next morning, Zhang Ning set out to say goodbye to Yao Ji. Unexpectedly, she didn't see anyone, so she sent Qiuye out and said to him to walk slowly on the road.
When they were together in a close and distant manner, Zhang Ning suddenly felt very disappointed.
One day, there were heavy rains, and three Japanese people sheltered from Rashomon and talked about a criminal case: a samurai and his wife passed by a barren mountain and encountered an unexpected accident. His wife was insulted and the samurai was brutally killed.
