Qiming 1158

Chapter 952 Zhao Tan panicked
Whether she believed it or not, it was the truth.

The laws of the Ming Kingdom were changed because of her experience.

The demon in human skin finally got the punishment it deserved. Their family of three finally got out of the sea of ​​misery, and their life is about to get back on track.

From now on, all demons like that man in human skin will be severely punished, and the weak will be protected by the law.

And at this moment, what she is facing is an invitation from the emperor.

Invite her to go to Zhongdu to join the Revival Society, and to join...theatrical troupe?

She doesn't quite understand.

She had heard of the Revival Society, but wasn't quite sure what organization it was.

As for the theatre group, it is unheard of.

After hesitating for a while, she cautiously asked Jiao Jun a question.

Jiao Jun smiled when he heard the words, and then explained to her what a Renaissance Society was and what a Renaissance Society's theatre group was.

By the way, he also told her about what happened in Daming during this period, and gave Xiao Cui three books, "Hongwu Politics", "The White-Haired Girl" and "Crows in the Midnight" as gifts.

"This book "Hong Wuzheng Lun" was written by His Majesty himself, and the stories of these two books are said to come from His Majesty's personal experience, you can take it back and have a look.

After reading it, you may be able to understand why Your Majesty cares so much about what happened to you, and why His Majesty would like to invite you to join the Revival Society and become the first female member of the Revival Society. "

Jiao Jun said with a smile: "Go back and read these two stories, then think about it seriously, I believe you can come to a correct conclusion, if you make a decision, come to Laiwu County to find me, this paragraph I will work in Laiwu County during the time."

"Okay, I...I see."

Xiao Cui then returned to her dormitory with two books in a daze.

After returning to the dormitory and sitting on the bed, she still felt a little dizzy and foggy, feeling incredible and suspecting that she was dreaming.

The emperor wrote to me?

He also specially invited me to join the Revival Society as the first female member?
Can you still live and work in Zhongdu from now on?
I, an ordinary little girl, can actually be noticed by His Majesty the Emperor?

She pinched herself hard, felt the pain, and realized that she was not dreaming.

He lowered his head and looked at the letter in his hand.

True, not false.

Moreover, there is no need for those big men to deceive themselves a little girl, to deceive her, what's the point?

So, is this all true?
Has His Majesty the Emperor really noticed me and knew of my existence?Are you also inviting me to Zhongdu?
Does such a thing really happen?
In the next few days, in addition to her daily work and continuing to be the scroll king within the time limit set by the factory, Xiao Cui also took part of her spare time to read the three books that Jiao Jun gave her.

She decided to read the thickest book, "Hongwu Politics", and read the two thinner books first.

One of them tells the tragic story of a girl named Yang Xier.

The other tells the story of a treacherous and cunning landlord and his tenants.

Xiao Cui, who read the two stories, was quite touched, and expressed deep sympathy for the encounters of the characters in the books. Tears fell as she watched, and it was difficult to contain them.

However, Xiao Cui still felt a little bit of envy when she saw Yang Bailao committing suicide by drinking brine because he couldn't protect his daughter.

Because from the beginning to the end, she has never received a little father's love. Although Xi'er has a miserable life and suffered miserable encounters, she at least has a father who loves her.

How fortunate is it to have a father who can take care of his daughter with all his heart?

After reading the two stories, Xiao Cui lay on the bed, feeling sad for a long time.

After finally sorting out her thoughts, Xiao Cui saw the thicker book "Hongwu Political Theory" again.

Written by His Majesty the Emperor himself?
With strong curiosity, Xiao Cui opened "Hongwu Political Theory", and was quickly attracted by the opening preface.

With Su Yonglin's cordial and undifferentiated narrative tone, Xiao Cui felt that she followed Su Yonglin's point of view and retraced the path that Su Yonglin had taken.

She just kept watching, watching, and seeing it late.

When it was time to turn off the lights and go to sleep, the roommates who went out to the bonfire singing party walked back laughing and talking, pushing and talking while walking, talking about bold things that made eye contact with those male workers, smiling faces full of youthful breath.

When they came back, they saw Xiao Cui reading a book so seriously that they didn't even notice how they came back.

"Cuicui, what are you looking at?"

Mai Tiantian, the oldest girl in the dormitory, came up to ask Xiao Cui.

Only then did Xiao Cui notice that the roommates had all returned.

"Oh, the book written by His Majesty the Emperor, "Hongwu Political Theory", was given to me by the director of the state revival association, the director Jiao who came to our place last time."

"Hong Wu's political theory?"

Mai Tiantian was very surprised, and immediately went up to see it together: "Honey, is it true? How many people have been to our factory before and couldn't get it!"

"Let me see... Volume [-] of Hong Wu's Political Theory... Yo! Really!"

The 17-year-old Wang Xiaohua also came over and was taken aback: "No wonder you don't go to the bonfire singing party! So you hide here to read books! Didn't you tell us?"

"Director Jiao came to me after I got off. When I come back, you are all gone. Where can I tell you?"

Xiao Cui said in disbelief: "Don't worry, if I have read it, can I still watch it without you? I'll look first, here... there are two more books, one is called "The White-Haired Girl" and the other is called "Midnight" Rooster Crow, let's take a look."

Xiao Cui handed out the other two novels that she had already read, and was immediately taken by Mai Tiantian and Wang Xiaohua, who were quick-witted.

"I've heard people say it but I haven't bought it! It's great! I've always wanted to watch it!"

"Let me see too!"

"Don't grab, don't grab, let's watch together."

The five girls gathered together and read the two novels separately. Xiao Cui smiled, adjusted the light, and continued to read.

The time to turn off the lights soon came, but both Xiao Cui and the other five girls were still addicted to the books in their hands.

The five girls over there were already sobbing as the story progressed.

They lamented what happened to Yang Xier, scolded Huang Shiren for his shamelessness, and made the most poignant irony about Zhou Papi's behavior.

Xiao Cui, on the other hand, followed Su Yonglin's brushstrokes and his guidance, little by little, to a world that she had never understood and dared not even hope to understand.

She felt as if Su Yonglin was holding her hand and led her to the door of the new world step by step, then pushed her away and led her in, allowing her to see that different world.

Su Yonglin did not deliberately cite the scriptures, but he would make notes after the content of words and phrases that needed to be extended and interpreted, so that even a commoner would find it easy to understand.

Therefore, even if Xiao Cui is only capable of reading and writing, he does not find the content in this book obscure and difficult to understand.

It was not until the night watchman started to round the room that the girls hurriedly turned off the lights and went to bed to avoid being demerited for being found.

In the next few days, although Xiao Cui wanted to read more of this Hongwu Political Theory, the others couldn't wait any longer. They had just finished reading it, and before they had time to look at some unclear places, the book was picked up by a few others. Roommate took it.

It is also stipulated that one person can read for a maximum of several days, and after reading it, it must be read to the next person, and no delay is allowed.

Who doesn't want to read a book written by the mighty emperor who changed the world?

And Xiao Cui, who was the first to read this book, had already fallen into deep thought.

She likes life like this.

The happy life she had finally won without worries made her feel very happy and satisfied, and she felt as if she had nothing more to pursue.

But after reading Hong Wu's political commentary, she couldn't help but yearn for Zhongdu and that new world.

That book opened a door for her, as if it had loosened some kind of shackle somewhere in her body, and suddenly she had many different ideas.

If she continues to stay here, she will definitely be happy and satisfied. She can live happily here in the future, marry a male worker who looks right in the eye, buy a house in the county town, and live an ordinary life of two points and one line together.

But if you leave here and go to Zhongdu, what will you face?

Xiao Cui thought about her past and her present, and gradually came to a choice of her own.

She quickly went to Laiwu County to find Jiao Jun, expressing her willingness to go to Zhongdu, join the Revival Society, and accept the organization's arrangement.

Jiao Jun was very happy and started making arrangements immediately, while Xiao Cui rushed back to the workshop, said a brief goodbye to the workers, and left the three books that Jiao Jun had given him in the dormitory as a gift to the workers. Farewell gift.

Everyone said goodbye.

At the beginning of May in the fourth year of Hongwu, Xiao Cui set off for the north, towards the Central Capital that called her.

At the same time Xiao Cui set off for the north, a small group of knights escorted an important item to Lin'an City in a hurry, and quickly delivered this important item to the palace.

Zhao Tan has been waiting for this thing for a while.

It is said that this is something that is very unfavorable to them, and this thing is now all over the Ming Kingdom, so the meticulous works sent to the Ming Kingdom found a way to get this thing, hurry up and send it to him.

"Officer, things have been delivered!"

Zhao Tan's personal eunuch brought a middle-aged man who was busy with the dust and came to Zhao Tan. The middle-aged man knelt down and offered the thing with both hands.

"The minister will live up to his mission."

"reward."

Zhao Tan asked his personal eunuch to take him down to receive the reward, and he couldn't wait to flip through the book "Hong Wu Zheng Lun".

In the middle of March of the fourth year of Hongwu, Lin'an learned that the Ming Kingdom was about to release a book written by Su Yonglin himself. It is said that this book was the work of Su Yonglin. .

The Southern Song Dynasty was very curious about this, but it didn't seem too surprised.

Because Su Yonglin has done a lot of outrageous things.

The difficult work of overhauling the Yellow River can be started immediately, and the title of the emperor can be called out. The emperor will not do it, and the large-scale eradication of corrupt officials can even be praised by Beikong.

Compared with these things, it is not too bizarre for him to write books and sell them to make money. It can only be said that he is really "close to the people".

Being close to the people has come to the point where they end up fighting for profit with the people in person.

Therefore, the mainstream public opinion in the court of the Southern Song Dynasty was ridiculing whether Su Yonglin was insane because of the lack of money and money because of the great construction and mess.

It's like losing the face of the emperor.

Since ancient times, how can an emperor personally write a book and sell it nationwide?
Isn't that a fight for the people?
Do you want to make a face?
They thought it was funny, and thought that Su Yonglin had no majesty as an emperor at all, so who would think that he was an emperor worthy of respect?What a fool it is!
It seems that the Ming kingdom is not too far from its demise.

The officials of the Southern Song Dynasty were always able to find the signs of the collapse of the Ming Kingdom in the smallest details, and boldly judged when the Ming Kingdom would perish.

Some people say that the Ming Dynasty will perish within a year.

Some people say that within three years Su Yonglin will die, and the Ming Kingdom will surely perish.

Some people say that within five years, Su Yonglin will die violently, and the whole family will die. Civil strife will break out in the Ming Kingdom, a battle for the throne will break out, and then a full-scale civil war will occur, the Central Plains will be in chaos, and the Ming Kingdom will collapse.

Some people even bet on this, waiting to see when the Central Plains will be in chaos and when Su Yonglin will die tragically, so as to earn gambling money.

Until the first ten days of April, some gossip reached Zhao Tan's ears.

For example, Ming Dynasty Emperor Su Yonglin was born in Song Dynasty, and he was originally from Song Dynasty or something.

This kind of news surprised Zhao Tan, and he began to feel uneasy and outrageous.

Su Yonglin is the emperor of the Ming Kingdom, and he rebelled in the Jin Kingdom. How could he be a native of the Song Dynasty?

You can't even joke like this, can you?

The people of the Song Dynasty are gentle and courteous, and they are all honest taxation tools. How could there be a rebel leader?

Zhao Tan couldn't believe it.

But seeing that the court and the opposition began to talk about it, and he talked with his nose and eyes, he couldn't sit still, wondering if he should do something.

At this time, Shen Gai, who was in charge of recruiting security, returned from Nanchang's failure, saying that recruiting failed, and the peasant army did not intend to make peace and surrender with the Southern Song Dynasty, but only said that if they wanted to continue fighting, they could continue fighting, and there was absolutely no problem.

Anyway, they will never surrender, and they will never make peace with the Southern Song Dynasty.

Zhao Tan was furious and scolded the peasant army for ignorance. When he was in a hurry, he would really order the local prefecture to recruit troops to attack the peasant army!
However, Shen Gai also told Zhao Tan one thing.

"When I saw Zhao Yucheng, the leader of the bandit, he was reading. The minister just asked him what book he was reading. He said that he was reading the works written by Emperor Ming, Hong Wu's political theory. The minister was shocked and wanted to see what happened, but there was no With his permission, I don’t know if this matter proves that the Jiangnan West Road bandit army has secret contacts with the Ming Dynasty.”

When Zhao Tan heard this, he immediately became anxious, and immediately asked his subordinates to complete two things.

First, he demanded that the book be obtained from the Ming Kingdom immediately, at all costs, for him to read.

Second, he felt the need to investigate the relationship between Ming and this peasant army.
