The book picks up.
Liu Bowen returned to his hometown in the fourth year of Hongwu, and he closed the door and wrote only books (later collected into "Yu Ion"). Be careful, clip your tail and be a man.
But when people sit in their homes, evil comes from heaven.
What's going on? There are many folk legends, and I do not interpret this matter, based on the history of Ming, and read the notes of his son Liu Lian, and the Taoist family does not spread false words.
Tanyang Yiyi is a damn ghost place
It is said that after Liu Bowen returned to his hometown, Zhu Yuanzhang often wrote to him to inquire about some celestial phenomena and the inspection of the dragon vein, after all, Zhang Zhong's "Song of Burning Cakes" in the Mid-Autumn Festival of Hongwu's three years made him grumpy.
After Liu Bowen answered the question in detail each time, he carefully burned the manuscript to the effect that "after the frost and snow, there will be Yangchun, and now that the country has been established, it is advisable for Shaoji to be lenient" (Ming Shi Liechuan Liu Ji).
That is to say, the Ming Dynasty was originally determined that it should rest and recuperate, whether it was for the people or for the hundred officials, it should be as warm as the spring breeze.
Yang Xian's bloody misery often made his heart skip a beat, after all, he was his own student, and although Zhu Yuanzhang did not connect to himself, he was already an emperor. So he was a low-key person, cautious in doing things, living in seclusion in the mountains, drinking alcohol every day, playing chess and reading, not leaving the door, not going out of the second door, and being a public servant.
One day, the local county commander wanted to see this current dynasty teacher, Daming's sincere uncle, and was repeatedly refused. One night, the county commander disguised himself as an ordinary person to visit, when Liu Bowen was washing his feet and preparing to go to bed, he asked his nephew to take the guests to the hut in front of him and cook on the fire, that is, some coarse tea and light rice to entertain the guests.
After eating, the county commander told Liu Bowen that he was Qingtian Zhi County, so "Ji was shocked to call the people, thank you, and never see him again" (Ming Shi Liechuan Liu Ji).
Although Liu Bowen was like a bird of fright, cautious and cautious, something still went wrong.
In the early years of Hongwu, Liu Bowen asked Tanyang to set up an inspection department (that is, a local garrison to inspect the sea frontier), which was adopted by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Tanyang, the land is located in the high mountains at the junction of Qingtian and Ruian in the west, three regardless of the boundaries of the land, the place of the fart, but surrounded by mountains on three sides, surrounded by the sea on one side, is a nest of bandits gathered by pirates, salt merchants, and robbers.
It is really a temple demon with a big wind, and the pool is more than eight kings.
Taishun and Huang Tan, dozens of miles away from Tanyang, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, wu chengqi rebelled, and the momentum was quite huge. Lao Zhu's opponent Fang Guozhen was on the east coast, and it was not far from Tanyang.
They gathered together, gathered in the mountains and seas, and moved in and out freely. In order to eradicate the harm and eliminate the disaster in the bud, Liu Bowen wrote this suggestion, which is also a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people.
(In the next one or two hundred years, in the ghost place of Tanyang, pirates continued to brew and ferment, and gradually formed a large-scale Activity of Thieves and Merchants and Collusion between Officials and Thieves.) During the Jiajing period, it was even more harmful to the Wokou, and it became more and more intense, only until the appearance of Qi Jiguang, a famous general who resisted the Wu Dynasty)
Soon after Liu Bowen returned to his hometown, there was chaos in this place again, the deserters turned back, and the local officials were afraid of things, hiding and not reporting, and wanted to extinguish the military chaos themselves and cover up the matter.
When Liu Bowen found out, he sent his eldest son Liu Lian into Beijing to secretly play the boss Zhu Yuanzhang, "Will Ming Yang flee the army and rebel, and the officials will not hear about it" (Ming Shi Liechuan Liu Ji). Liu Bowen was not troublesome, and when he left, Lao Zhu gave him the will of the secret song, and not reporting it was his dereliction of duty.
At this time, zuo Cheng Hu Weiyong was very angry when he heard about it, and the Yuan Dynasty had a rule that "no Yue Zhongshu should be separated from the Zhongshu" ("Records of the Ming Taizu"), and the Zhongshu was the Zhongshu Province that Hu Weiyong was now in charge of.
Now you Liu Bowen hit the small report, what does it mean? Therefore, on the grounds that Liu Bowen did not pass through Zhongshu Province and went directly to the game, he complained to Zhu Yuanzhang and demanded that Liu Lian be held responsible for violating the prohibition.
Zhu Yuanzhang sent him a word this time: roll.
Hu Weiyong was punched in the face, and Liu Bowen had provoked Zhu Yuanzhang, saying that he was not suitable to be a minister, and he had always been grumpy about it. "Regretting the past, making the official Zhenji" (Ming Shi Liechuan Liu Ji).
One count does not work, one counts regeneration. This time come a little fierce, hit the snake seven inches, he knows what the boss is afraid of.
Hu Weiyong also said to Zhu Yuanzhang: Liu Ji is good at observing feng shui, talking about the yang "standing on the mountain and facing the sea" ("Ming Taizu Shilu"), and has the spirit of a king, and this place is often anti-king.
He Liu Ji, plotting against him, wanted to build his family's cemetery here, but the local people would not let him, so Liu Ji suggested setting up an inspection department here, the purpose of which was to expel the people and occupy this land for himself, which shows that he has ulterior motives and has the heart to make his descendants rebel.
What is the cause of sin? But even this three-year-old child didn't believe the lies, Zhu Yuanzhang actually believed it! It's deadly, and it's hard to explain, and the darker it gets.
Zhu Yuanzhang has always been anxious and annoyed by Zhang Zhong's prophecy of "The Song of Burning Cakes", and his heart is like a dream demon, and now Hu Weiyong is saying that he has a nose and an eye, and his heart cannot help but be suspicious. Although Liu Bowen was not immediately condemned, he still issued an edict reprimanding him:
If according to the laws of the court, you are inexcusable, but remembering your past hard work and merit, now you only stop your salary, and you will not be deprived of your title.
Liu Bowen was frightened, the boss became suspicious, this murderous demon king who did not blink was suspicious, then he had to? This is not the mountain high emperor far away, the class enemy once the heart of the death of my heart does not die, at any time there is a danger to life.
With the idea that the most dangerous place is also the safest. Liu Bowen, who had been at home for three months, quickly returned to the capital.
Just come back, I punch in every day, ask for instructions on big things, report on small things. Living under your nose, you should be relieved, right?
Although this time, although the Demon Town Incident in Fengyang Fengtian Temple (see previous articles for attention) struck li Shanchang and his gang, as long as the enemy did not fall, there would be a greater counterattack.
The tragic bane of Yang Xian is Yangzhou
Shi Nai'an listened to this shocking memory of his disciple and sighed: It is really the height of the temple, and the momentum is like a tired egg; Far away from the rivers and lakes, enjoy yourself. I was right to reject your introduction, right?
I think that in the beginning, letting Yang Xian govern Yangzhou was also recommended by you, right? You are deep in love, and you are harmful!
Listening to the words of the master brother, Liu Bowen closed his eyes in pain.
It was the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the world was in ruins to be rebuilt, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to go out on a northern tour, the first stop was to choose Yangzhou, which was once famous for its prosperity, and now the hell on earth, the real ghost city.
How did the fireworks resort that was once "wrapped around 100,000 yuan and riding a crane down to Yangzhou" become a ghost town?
Here came a ogre Zhang Mingjian, a subordinate of Zhu Yuanzhang.
I don't want to write such bloody scenes that are inappropriate for children, nor do I want to make up eyeballs.
The Nancun QuitTing Cultivation Record records that "the soldiers who want to flesh the world are Yin, and the Huai Right Army is a cannibal, with children first, women second, and men second"
This "Huaizuo Army" often refers to Zhu Yuanzhang's army, and the "Huai Right Army" here accurately refers to Zhang Mingjian's "Qing Army", which had not yet surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang.
The Records of Ming Taizu records that "Ming Jian gathered in Huaixi, with qingbu as the name, the name of the Qing army, and the people called it a tile." His party Zhang Mingjian was brave enough to use guns, also known as the spear army, and the party was fierce and fierce, specializing in plagiarism: "At this time, Zhang Mingjian's team in Yangzhou had eaten all the grain and was about to eat people. This once bustling city has ushered in a nightmare.
"For many years, he ran out of food, and plotted against the king." The king goes, dead Huai'an. Ming Jian then took control of the city and slaughtered the residents for food. The tycoon said to Taizu that the thief was hungry, and if he preyed on four outs, it would be difficult to control, and the dove was available, but no one else could get it. "Biography of the Tycoon of Ming Shi Miao"
"Ming Jian and others have taken control of the city, and the violence has benefited even more, and the residents of the city think that they are eating"
Both of these places record Zhang Mingjian's slaughter and slaughter for food, which is even worse than zhang Xianzhong, the man-eating demon at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
After Zhu Yuanzhang accepted Zhang Mingjian's surrender, he sent this group of ogres to the Western Heavens in the fire of Hongwu's three-year-old fire hero building, which was also counted as revenge for the yangzhou people.
But Yangzhou, the Pearl of the Orient during the Song Dynasty and the city that never sleeps with a population of one million, only eighteen residents remained at this time.
The city became a ruin, and the promised land became a hell. It was Zhu Yuanzhang, who had an iron heart, who also shed tears when he saw the tragic situation here, just as Zhang Yanghao of the Yuan Dynasty sighed:
Sad qin han meridian,
The palace was made of soil.
Rejoice, the people suffer;
Death, the people suffer.
At that time, Liu Bowen and Yang Xian were accompanied, Zhu Yuanzhu asked Liu Bowen to recommend a person to govern Yangzhou, Liu Bowen looked at his favorite students, and immediately recommended Yang Xian to be the governor of Yangzhou.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked Yang Xian: When can Yangzhou be restored to its former prosperity?
Yang Xian said a sentence that frightened Liu Bowen: three years.
Three years? Will this Yangzhou prefect, who has only eighteen-fold residents (who is not even a squad leader at this time), be able to do tricks?
Yang Xian only needs a policy, and Zhu Yuanzhang, who wants money and things, does not have: exempt from taxes for three years.
Zhu Yuanzhang was generous and spared for ten years.
Only two years later, yes, in the third year of Hongwu, Yangzhou underwent earth-shaking changes, and Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed and immediately transferred Yang Xian to the capital to entrust him with a heavy responsibility, and the official was zuo cheng in Zhongshu Province.
How did Yang Xian do it? According to the current words, it is investment promotion: land is free of charge, business is tax-free for five years, and half in five years. More importantly, Yangzhou's most important source of taxation is the salt pan, half sold and half given, and the official license is also given to the salt introduction (the smuggling of salt is to be killed).
So refugees, small traders, salt lords, salt merchants, hooligans, goons, stray soldiers, fugitives... The swarms are no less fiery than the small fishing villages of the past.
What is political achievement, this is political achievement, so the first brilliant political star in the history of Daming, Yang Xianfeng, who is only 47 years old, was transferred to Beijing.
Yang Xian came, sandwiched by a spring breeze and heat of reform, and came unstoppable. The first assistant, Li Shanchang, was clever, and in order to avoid his sharp edge, he chose to retire from illness. Hu Weiyong is also in Zhongshu Province, just a small follower, and Wang Guangyang is the deputy.
Yang Xian had just gained great power, and before his ass was seated, he began to suppress Li Shanchang and hit his deputy Wang Guangyang.
Seeing Yang Xian's quick success, the teacher Liu Bowen repeatedly persuaded Yang Xian, but unfortunately Yang Xian did not listen at all. Relying on Zhu Yuanzhang's favor and his mighty style in Yangzhou, he killed Yushi Liu Bing, and repeatedly impeached Li Shanchang for not having great talent and not being promoted to the post of chancellor. (Sick retired but the position of minister is still there, still his foreman, he is only Zuo Cheng)
At first, Zhu Yuanzhang was very clear about Yang Xian's thoughts, and at the beginning he also privately and bitterly advised: "Although the good chief does not have the talent of a prime minister, with me, I have started my own military affairs, involved in hardships, industrious and thin books, and many merits." I am the head of the house, and I am good and good, and I will not say anything in the future. ("Muzhai Beginner's Collection"
Who is Lee Sun-chang? The leader of the Huaixi Group, the representative of the Meritorious Group, my hair is small, how many years have you followed me?
Yang Xian's inadequacy and small belly were small, and he fought with Li Shanchang, only to be killed by Hu Weiyong with a single blow, and the cow split and died.
From entering Beijing to its demise, in only one year, political stars became political meteors.
The rabbit died and the fox was sad, Liu Bowen was both shocked and afraid, he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang's current trust in Li Shanchang was far greater than his own. Although he had once again tried to make the golden cicada out of its shell, he was ordered to cut off the dragon vein and inspect the mountains and rivers, but there was always a pair of vicious eyes staring at him behind him.
Where will you go next? Go up the river, go to Sichuan, go to see the ancestors Yuan Tiangang, Li Chunfeng returned to the hidden place one by one.
To be continued.
