postscript(1/2)
The novel "Live to the Ming Dynasty and Don't Fail You" has finally been written. It took two years and three months. I still remember that it was opened almost at the same time as the master "Xiaoge Lao", and the master ended a month ago.
The number of words varies by 500,000, but the grades are... I don't know how many streets I have left behind by the master.
If you are not as good as others, you only blame yourself. As some readers said, I don’t grasp the rhythm of this book well and lacks orgasm stimulation, which means I don’t have enough pleasure.
In short, I actually realized that I was trying to improve myself, but I could no longer reflect it in this novel.
I can only look forward to the next one with confidence.
In any case, I finished writing according to my set goals. Even if my grades were not ideal, I don’t know how many times I wanted to finish it in the middle.
But I always feel that the story has not been finished, so I continue with my love and persistence and have made my best efforts. I believe you can all understand the courage and persistence required to have written more than 4.5 million words (not interrupted) and persevere.
I am worthy of my love for words.
It’s just that I’m a little upset that I didn’t offer a wonderful novel to my friends who support me.
But only at this level, what can I do? I can only tell myself to keep working hard.
The first time I wrote such a long novel.
Thank you very much to the readers and friends who have always supported this book, especially the two generous leaders of "One Class and Not Two" and "Didikaka Club".
Without your strong support, I would not be able to hold on anyway.
Writing is a very hard and hard thing. You can write thousands or even tens of thousands of words every day and update it all day long. I believe that few people feel it is easy.
It’s just because of love, I feel happiness and a sense of accomplishment after working hard, which invisibly reduces the effort. Every day, I wake up after getting tired, and feel full of strength, so I can continue writing.
Maybe this is the charm of loving words.
In fact, the novel has not ended according to the designed outline, and it must be at least 5 million words, but it really has to end early. The poor grades are certainly one hand, but on the other hand, it is because I can't wait to write another well-constructed story.
Next, I still dare not compare with the master, so I can only compare with myself silently, striving to be stronger than the other one.
I have been on the road of writing intermittently, and it has been five years in the blink of an eye. I am afraid that only I know the various sadness and difficulties in the middle.
Of course, you can only overcome it yourself.
Fortunately, I have the confidence and patience. I believe that friends who have seriously followed my novel "Let's defeat the Ming Dynasty and never let the Qing Dynasty down" can also feel it.
This is my explanation to myself.
Since you have chosen this path, you should move forward bravely.
However, the same thing is true. As anyone who loves writing, I believe that I hope to recommend the works to more friends and have more fans.
If I just write for self-interest, then I don’t have to consume myself like this.
In short, I want to make more money.
After all, people have to face life. Although they like writing very much, there is no doubt that writing takes time and effort to hurt their spirits and the body. If they cannot get enough benefits, no matter how much love they have, they may gradually lose their passion.
So in the next works, on the one hand, I work hard to improve myself and strive to present more exciting stories to everyone; on the other hand, I also need everyone's strong support. Without everyone's support, it will not only dampen confidence, but also affect my mood, which will affect my writing, and even doubt whether I can write.
As an online writer, I think speed is the king after all. After years of training, I have changed from 2,000 yuan a day to 8,000 yuan a day. "Live down on the Ming Dynasty and Don't Let You" once reached more than 10,000 yuan a day in more than a month.
Although the speed is still not as fast as all the masters, as long as I give me enough motivation, I believe my speed can continue to increase by one or two levels.
As for the ability to shape stories, I really don’t dare to boast about how high the level can you reach. I can only say that I continue to learn and improve.
But what can be guaranteed is that I will use enough enthusiasm to control the story in my heart, and I will never interrupt the internet in three days and two days.
I believe that friends who have read my novels are already very clear about this point, and their character is absolutely guaranteed.
In addition, I sincerely hope that friends who are studying should not scold the author casually, even if the writing is not in line with your wishes. I believe that no author deliberately seeks scolding.
If you like to watch, please leave quietly if you don’t like to watch. If you don’t like to watch, you have the absolute initiative.
Scolding the author not only disrespects the author's efforts, but also seriously affects the author's mood. No matter from any perspective, I don't think it is wise to do it.
Reading novels online is more of a pastime. It is really disgusting to you. You can "snatch" a few more times, but don't attack people. No author writes novels and deliberately disgusting readers and friends. No.
Thank you, my mood and wishes, have basically been finished. Let’s go back to the novel "Live the Ming Dynasty and Don’t Let You Fall in the Wind" itself.
I always wanted to explain, but there was no single chapter explanation from beginning to end until the novel was over.
The novel was published at that time mainly because of his sympathy and respect for Zhang Juzheng, as well as his praise for his courage and courage to surpass his contemporaries.
[That's right, the most useful app for reading and listening to books is currently the best way to read, wild fruit reading, www. Install the latest version.]
Although Zhang Juzheng is not the protagonist of this novel, he is just a very marginalized character, it can be said that the novel does not leave him from the beginning to the end.
Zhang Juzheng is more like a soul figure. Although he is a controversial person himself, there is no doubt that no one can erase his historical status.
Without his storm-like reform, the Ming Dynasty could not last that long, so in the novel I kept mentioning a point: the decades of the Ming Dynasty were largely carried by Zhang Juzheng.
Therefore, no matter how much criticism and debate Zhang Juzheng faces future generations, I am willing to regard him as the greatest politician of the Ming Dynasty, no doubt about it.
As for choosing Zhu Yiliu as a pig's trotter, it could be said that it was under tremendous pressure at that time.
Because he was King Lu, the prince's identity was very embarrassing in the Ming Dynasty. Everyone knew that the Ming Dynasty had many constraints on the royal family and it was difficult to participate in politics.
Therefore, I have been scolded by many readers, saying that I do not understand the situation of the royal family in the Ming Dynasty and completely ignore the general background of the Ming Dynasty.
Don't I know?
But I still chose Zhu Yili as a pig's feet, and let him participate in politics, and finally drove Emperor Wanli off the stage and sat in the position of the emperor.
Now I can finally talk about my opinion.
The children of the Ming Dynasty emperors were embarrassed and were subject to many constraints. Many people like to compare them to "pigs" raised. This is a fact and the background.
But everything has exceptions.
Not all royal children live like pigs, and not all royal children live like thin ice and worry all day long.
There are also royal children who let themselves go.
Zhu Yiliu is one of these examples.
He was the first Lu Wang of the Ming Dynasty, the fourth son of Zhu Zaiji, the Ming Dynasty Emperor Muzong, and the Ming Dynasty Emperor Shenzong Zhu Yijun, and his mother, and his biological mother, Empress Dowager Xiaoding, Li, is the novel Empress Dowager Li.
In the fourth year of Longqing (1570 AD), he was named King of Lu by his father, Emperor Muzong of the Ming Dynasty. After Emperor Wanli ascended the throne, he favored his only younger brother and allowed him to stay in the capital for twenty years - this is an exception.
Zhu Yili was extremely rare in the royal family of the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty, which was also a special case.
Zhu Yili spent his whole life. Due to the excessive spoiling and favor of Empress Dowager Li, Emperor Wanli was almost powerless and could not restrain himself and could only let him do whatever he wanted.
And this is a very important reason why Zhu Yili had the opportunity to let himself go.
In the tenth year of Wanli, Zhu Yiliu was fourteen years old and prepared to finish his marriage according to royal customs.
In order to prepare for his wedding, the palace used 3,869 taels of gold, more than 8,700 blue rubies, more than 100,000 taels of silver, and more than 24,000 coral pearls...
Due to the extravagant expenses, the Ministry of Revenue could not stand it. According to the etiquette and law, "The Prince's Engagement Gift is only fifty taels of gold and ten taels of pearls", the Ministry of Religion and Law states that the cost of the Lu Wang's wedding was seriously exceeding the standard.
However, under the pressure of Empress Dowager Li, Emperor Wanli could not speak out at all, so he could only ignore it. He embezzled more than 900,000 taels of military expenditure alone, and even bought out all the jewelry in the entire capital.
After ten years of Zhang Juzheng's efforts to govern and rectify the government, the economic situation of the Ming Dynasty did indeed improve greatly, but Zhu Yiliu's wedding expenses were really amazing.
If Zhang Juzheng had not died in the tenth year of Wanli, he might have been angry to death later.
At that time, someone with bad intentions gave Queen Mother Li an idea that Zhang Juzheng's family had a wealth of thousands of yuan, and if he confiscated his family, he would not have to worry about King Lu's wedding.
In order to pay for the wedding expenses for the baby son, Empress Dowager Li, who came from a farmer family and once highly respected Zhang Juzheng, nodded in agreement.
As a result, the house was searched and only received tens of thousands of taels of silver, which was not enough for her son.
However, these are just the beginning compared to Zhu Yiliu's later greed and luxury.
After Zhu Yiliu's wedding, the country was immediately put on the agenda. Originally, the country of Princes in the Ming Dynasty had no rigid regulations on age and time, but it was always the practice of discussing the country of marriage when they left the palace to discuss the family.
After several considerations, Zhu Yili chose Wei Hui.
After four years and hardships, in May of the 16th year of Wanli, the Luwang Mansion was finally completed.
The entire royal palace complex is magnificent and magnificent, located in the eastern half of Ji County. To this day, the remains of the Weihui Lu Prince Palace can still vaguely see the momentum of the past.
During the construction of the Luwang Mansion, Zhu Yili still lived in the capital. Emperor Wanli visited the Thirteen Tombs of Changping many times to pay homage to the ancestral tombs and inspect the construction of the Shou Palace. Every time he left Kyoto, he ordered Zhu Yili to supervise the country - this is another special case.
Emperor Wanli’s favor, trust and closeness to King Lu can be seen (this is actually very different from the jealousy and guardianship written in his novel).
In the 17th year of Wanli, Zhu Yili left Beijing to take advantage of the vassal state. The court used more than 500 ships to ship treasures and furniture. Along the way, officials from all prefectures and counties in Henan held grand welcoming and seeing off ceremony. This was another catastrophe.
In the memorial, the governor of Baoding complained to Emperor Wanli: saying that the country of Lu Wang was a vassal, and the cost was huge. Through the two prefectures of Hejian and Daming, it was difficult to raise the tuition. He begged to pay 17,000 shi of rice in Tianjin and 11,000 shi of rice before clearing the warehouse.
According to the rice price at that time, the total price of 28,000 stones of rice was about 20,000 taels of silver.
These loans will be plundered and plundered by officials, and the sufferings of the people can be imagined.
Without asking about political affairs, Zhu Yili began to plan for making money. Relying on the favor of Emperor Wanli and Empress Dowager Li, he ignored the court's constraints on the emperor's children.
Under extreme boredom, the energetic princes of the Ming Dynasty could naturally come up with various tricks. It would be fine if they were obsessed with skills, but they were obsessed with debauchery. For the royal family, at most they would be more than raising a few unfilial sons, but it was a disaster for the people. Unfortunately, Zhu Yiliu happened to belong to the latter.
He took over the farmland of King Jing Zhu Zaizhen. In fact, King Jing was a short-lived ghost without children. Most of the 40,000 acres of land granted under his name were imaginary.
Zhu Yiliu didn’t say how much land he wanted or how much industry he wanted, but only "reported to confront King Jing's legacy."
This is a clever decision.
Of course, Emperor Wanli agreed, but he really scared the ministers and local officials in the court.
Because after King Jing's death, the fields were all returned to the people, and after Zhang Juzheng's one-whip law reform, the land measurement nationwide was measured, and there was "all the documents", so where could there be land to allocate?
To be continued...
