Ru Lin Wai Shi "Crown of Kings"

Speak the classics in the vernacular.

Enter the house and take your seats. Wang Mian asked, "Which official are you, and why did you come to this poor and remote area?" The man said, "Oh, sir, my surname is Zhu, and I first raised an army in Jiangnan, called Chuyang Five." Now Jinling (Nanjing) is called the King of Wu. This is Ping Ding Fang Guozhen here, specially to visit Mr. Wang Mian said, "Xiao Min has eyes that don't know Taishan, it turned out to be Wang Ye." But I am only a kusano villager, how dare I work for The Noble Step? Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I am a rough person, and when I saw mr. Li's elegant temperament today, I really think that fame and fortune are all farts." I heard about Mr. Daimyo in Jiangnan, and I came to visit Mr. today to ask Mr. Zhejiang, I laid down Zhejiang Province, how can I convince people's hearts? Wang Mian said: "The great king is wise and far-sighted, and there is no need for a peasant to say more." As long as you serve people with benevolence and righteousness, who can disobey? Not only Zhejiang; if we rely on force to deter, although the Zhejiang people are not strong, I am afraid that they are not willing to be humiliated, how can they govern well! Fang Guozhen is an example! Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said yes, and the two of them touched their knees and talked for a long time until the sun went down. Wang Mian cooked a pound of cake, fried a plate of leeks, and after eating with Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang thanked Wang Mian for teachings and left. Later, when Qin Laohan came back from the city and asked about this, Wang Mian only said that he was a person he had known in Shandong before, and now he was an officer in the army, so he had come to see me.

A few years later, Zhu Yuanzhang unified the world and established the Ming Dynasty, with the era name Hongwu. The people live and work in peace and contentment. In the fourth year of Hongwu, Qin Laohan went into the city again, returned to tell Wang Mian that Wei Su had been questioned and had been given a notice from the government. When Wang Mian saw that after Wei Su surrendered, he was arrogant and arrogant, and called himself an old minister in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and sent him to guard the tomb. The notice also said that the Ministry of Etiquette agreed on the method of the examination for the imperial examination, and that the examination was conducted in four books, five books, and eight strands. Wang Mian said to Qin Laohan: "The content of this exam is not set well, and in the future, readers will only read these things, and they will certainly despise the code of conduct and moral norms of how to behave." He said, thinking it was dark. It was early summer, and Old Han Qin set up a table in the wheat field, drinking the crown of the king there and drinking small wine, and the moon was in the east. Wang Mian held a wine glass in one hand and pointed to the sky to qin laohan and said, "You see, if you commit Wenchang, I am afraid that a generation of literati will be doomed." Before the words could be heard, a strange wind suddenly arose, and the sound of the trees fluttering was blowing, and the frightened water birds flew. Wang Mian and Old Han Qin also covered their faces with their sleeves in fright. After a while the wind stopped, and when I opened my eyes, there were a hundred or so epidemics in the sky that fell to the southeast. Wang Mian said, "God opened his eyes and sent down a state of Wenqu stars to maintain the fortunes of literature, but we can't see it." "That night, I packed up my things and went home to sleep.

Since then, there have often been legends that the imperial court issued a document to ask Wang Guan to be an official, at first Wang Mian did not care, and later said that there were more people, and Wang Mian did not tell Qin Laohan that he fled to the Huiji Mountain overnight, and half a year later, the imperial court did send an official to follow a stateman, with the holy will, to the door of Qin Laohan's house, Qin Laohan saw that Qin Laohan was more than eighty years old, his hair and beard were white, and Qin Laohan with a cane let them into the house, and the official asked: "Is Mr. Wang Mian living in this village?" Now Emperor En Hao wants him to become the chief of staff in the army! I'm specifically asked to issue an edict. Old Man Qin said, "He is indeed here, but he has long since lost his knowledge of where to go." "Old Han Qin took them to Wang Mian's house, pushed the door in, and saw that the courtyard was full of wild grass, and the walls of the house were full of spider webs. I know it's long gone. There was no way, the official had to take someone back.

Wang Mian lived in seclusion in the mountains, hid his name, and later fell ill and died, and the neighbors in the mountains pooled money to bury him under the mountain. In this year, Qin Laohan also died. It is ridiculous that later some literati scholars said that Wang Mian called him Wang To join the army, but when did Wang Mian become an official for a day?

Well, the story of the crown is all told today. Later we will continue to tell the story of "The History of Rulin".
