Can you live forever

Chapter 181 Fireworks in March, Yangzhou is bustling

As for the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, my husband once commented that, except Hongwu and Yongle, who did not study very well, Yingzong and Wuzong were still a little bit good, and the rest were prodigals.

Especially criticize Jiajing: Alchemy and Taoism, fatuous and old, sitting in the world for more than forty years, just not doing anything.

The so-called love is deep enough to hate. If you don't feel sorry, sir, I think you won't be so indignant. It is true that Jiajing has the skills and strength, and dares to fight against the gentlemen in the south of the Yangtze River.

But... the frame of mind has not changed.

Jiajing in history just followed his "instinct" to regain the imperial power, and then became emperor according to the rules of Wenzhiwugong, without thinking about the system at all.

Therefore, Jiajing did rejuvenate Daming, but it could not avoid the end of Daming's demise.

So my husband reprimanded me, "I just don't do anything!"

It can be seen how anxious and regretful Mr. is, and this is also the reason why Jiajing is not as good as Qinhuang, Hanwu, the emperors of the ages. Jiajing is not incompetent, but he has not exerted his subjective initiative at all...

Of course, there are reasons why Jiajing is obsessed with cultivating Taoism, but what's more, Jiajing himself doesn't know how to change it.

What is the root of the extremely diverse social thoughts in the middle and late Ming Dynasty?There is no standard, everyone has no direction, and everyone is confused and exploring, looking for a new way out.

Wang Yangming's mind theory is a good medicine, but you can't just use a medicine to cure a disease.

So learning by heart alone is useless.

Psychology cannot guide reforms, and what Daming needs most is reforms.

Jiajing in history didn't know what to do. Jiajing in this world didn't understand the burden on him and how to go in the future until Zhang Zhixiang told him all the future history.

And what Jiajing thinks determines what Yan Song will do.

Traitors and corrupt officials are all appearances of Yan Song. He is a person from Jiajing in essence, and he is the person who understands Jiajing best and is most courageous in serving Jiajing. He is a brick. Whatever Jiajing wants to do, just move him there ...

As for corrupt officials, how could Yan Song be more corrupt than Xu Jie, a great Qing Dynasty scholar?

The reputation depends on the literati's pen.

"It takes time to prepare for the assassination of the king, Yan Song, do you think they plan to delay me in Huai'an for a few days?" They are going south by boat, and if they really want to leave, they can just set sail regardless of the kitchen households on the shore. .

Jiajing's words were waiting for Nanjing to prepare for a head-on confrontation.

"Your Majesty treats Taoism preferentially, and there are national teachers to protect the Dharma. They want to assassinate His Majesty, they are looking for people from the Qinglong list, or they are looking for Buddha from Tibet."

"Qinglong in Jianghu is a member of Daming after all, and he understands the crime of assassinating the emperor, so he is unlikely to agree."

"So, it should be a Buddha Lama from Tibet."

"Actually, this is also normal."

"My Zen sect of the Ming Dynasty attaches great importance to 'extraordinary biography, not writing, but directly pointing to people's hearts, and becoming a Buddha by seeing one's nature'. In fact, it has only cultivated sexual skills, and it is like Shaolin, Zen martial arts, Zen medicine, but there is no way of Buddhist practice. .”

"Only in Tibetan Buddhism, there is Tantric Dharma, and the guru lama often has supernatural powers."

"Si Shangao, the capital of Wusi Tibet, is far away from the emperor. With Nanjing as a guarantee, there will probably be a certain sect of eminent monks who are willing to take action. If they want to invite someone, it should be the beginning of His Majesty's southern tour. It has been half a month so far, and it must have taken only ten days. It's time for people to arrive."

"If His Majesty has been on the ship, it's not easy for them to do anything."

"After leaving Huai'an and arriving in Yangzhou, I'm afraid Xia Yan and the others will suggest that His Majesty take a look at the prosperity of Yangzhou."

Jiajing also smiled: "With one hundred thousand guan on your waist, ride a crane down to Yangzhou. Yan Song, go and get me a crane."

Yan Song said: "I can't get you here, why don't you ask your majesty the national teacher?"

Jiajing said: "The national teacher will only get me a crane, and then tell me that I can't ride a crane. It's because of me, not because of the crane. reason."

"That's it, that's it."

"I can't ride a crane anymore, go down and prepare, I am looking forward to the prosperity of Yangzhou."

……

The old man said the Yellow Crane Tower and fireworks went to Yangzhou in March.

Named "Fireworks", it can be seen that Yangzhou in March is the most blooming. It took only three days to travel from Zhoushan to Yangzhou. After entering Yangzhou City, Zhang Zhixiang knew how big this pearl in the south of the Yangtze River is. dazzling.

The prosperity of Zhoushan is a trade distribution center, a new type of prosperity full of vitality and barbaric growth.

As for Yangzhou, with just one glance, he fell into the misty rain.

All expensive and scarce luxuries from Daming and overseas must first be transported to Yangzhou. The streets paved with bluestone slabs are very clean, and farmers have to change into a pair of clean and dirt-free shoes when they enter the city.

There is gentle wind and drizzle everywhere, and there are singing and dancing everywhere.

This city is full of slowness and pleasure. Entering the city is like soaking in wine and having the most prosperous dream.

From high-ranking officials and aristocrats to civilian peddlers, they are all full of background. When describing the prosperity of the Song Dynasty, they would say that even a woodcutter can recite poems, and Yangzhou in the Ming Dynasty is even worse.

It seems that everyone here is a cultural person, full of style.

Here you don't have to worry about being despised by others for their Wei and Jin demeanor. Those young masters in colorful women's clothing even walk gracefully with their waists twisted, and suddenly they sing an opera on the street, which will only attract applause and praise.

This is an artist's paradise.

Under the pergola on the street, there are people playing the piano and playing the flute, which will attract friends and rewards. People don't mind the insult of money, and if they give more money, they clasped their fists and sang "Gao Yi".

There are also women in fresh clothes and angry horses, molesting young masters from good families.

There are also girls from brothels who are naked and painted, which attracts countless cheers.

This prosperity is like a dream...

"Don't look at it."

Zhang Jingdu stood on tiptoe and covered Zhang Zhixiang's eyes, and looked at the women fighting in the arena over there with a little anger, how could there be a woman in the arena to fight, and she was only wearing a loincloth...

Pooh!
The woman over there doesn't even wear clothes!This, this, what kind of monsters and ghosts are these!

"Hey, little girl, don't monopolize such a handsome young man, and introduce me to this female hero?" A female hero saw that Zhang Zhixiang was blindfolded, and the remaining half of his face became more three-dimensional. Surprised, he came here on horseback, asking for acquaintance.

"You, your girl, you have no sense of shame." Zhang Jingdu said with a blushing face.

The heroine smiled, and said, "It's about sexuality. Men can be lustful, but women can't? Hey, my son, Chen Feiyuan, let's get to know each other."

"You reject her!"

Zhang Jing let go of her hand angrily, and ordered coquettishly.

Dudu's cuteness made Zhang Zhixiang smile slightly, and when he smiled, the heroine's eyes lit up instantly, as if she saw the warmth of spring, and even swallowed her saliva in disappointment.

"Girl loves you, but my junior sister doesn't allow it, so let's not cause trouble."

Chen Feiyuan was not embarrassed either, she directly ignored Zhang Zhixiang's refusal, and asked, "Seeing that you are not from Yangzhou, it should be the first time you have come to Yangzhou, how about I be your guide?"

"I am a girl from the local Fuwei Escort Bureau. I grew up in Yangzhou since I was a child. It can be said that few people are more familiar with Yangzhou than me."

"Young Master, you won't even refuse a guide, will you?"

"Or...fear of guilt?"

She was generous and aggressive, but Zhang Zhixiang didn't care, but Zhang Jingdu insisted: "You are not allowed to say that about Brother Anping!"

"If I marry Brother Anping, I will be obedient. How can Brother Anping be afraid of guilt?"

"Humph."

"If you want to be a guide, I'll do it for you. Brother Anping won't like you, right, sister Cuiqiao."

Wang Cuiqiao smiled and remained silent.

When Chen Feiyuan saw Wang Cuiqiao, although there was a light veil covering most of her face, only a pair of eyes were exposed, she was still amazed. Even a woman like her was almost fascinated by those smiling eyes.

Can't help muttering: "Where did the gods and couples come from..."
