Chapter 4 The rooster crows and the sky begins to dawn
He Xi never doubted that Zhu Yuanzhang had the ability to wipe out the Jurchen tribe. After all, even Emperor Chenghua could plow the Jurchen court. How could Zhu Yuanzhang not be able to do so?
Compared to Emperor Chenghua, Zhu Yuanzhang's methods were more ruthless.
He Xi doesn't like the Qing Dynasty very much. But as he said, because he came to this era and did so many things. He hasn't died yet, which means that the grandmother's paradox has not affected him. This time and space is likely to be a Parallel time and space. The future of the Ming Dynasty has already changed the moment it arrives.
In this way, the destruction of Qing Dynasty and Ming Dynasty is only a possibility in the future.
Killing tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people just for the sake of a future possibility is really too cruel.
However, when facing Zhu Yuanzhang, he could not utter a single word of advice.
Instead, Zhu Yuanzhang said without changing his tone: "Continue. Let's talk about the Qing Dynasty."
He Xi immediately said: "The Qing Dynasty is known as the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong, but in fact it is a false name." Then he talked about the Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong dynasties in general. Then he moved to the late Qing Dynasty. He Xi's mouth was dry. I couldn't help but take a sip of water.
These are not so detailed. I guess Zhu Yuanzhang was not too willing to listen.
Zhu Yuanzhang already believed in He Xi at this moment.
Although He Xi's statement was extremely absurd. He said it came from six hundred years later. However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not find any flaws in the so-called history He Xi said.
Let’s not talk about anything else. Simply speaking, the evolution of various taxation policies in the Ming Dynasty, from Zhang Juzheng’s one-whip method to the Qing Dynasty’s sharing of grains and the gentry’s unified payment of grain, seems reasonable and logical. This is not something ordinary people can make up. of.
Even a simple four-word concept contains the political wisdom of countless wise people and the hard thinking of countless wise people.
This is not something one person can make up.
However, this does not mean that Zhu Yuanzhang can fully understand, especially the period of history in the late Qing Dynasty. He said: "A mere Western barbarian can actually insult a big country. What on earth is going on?"
He Xi sighed and said: "It's a long story. It's mainly due to the development of science and technology. In fact, China has always been leading the world in ancient times. It was only at the turn of the Ming and Qing Dynasties that it fell behind the world and was bullied by the Western barbarians."
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and said: "I remember you just said that the Ming and Qing Dynasties were inherited from me for six hundred years? So, is this my fault?"
When He Xi heard this, he was shocked and said: "Your Majesty, I definitely don't mean this. It's just that the reasons are too complicated and cannot be explained clearly in a day or two."
At this time, there were several sounds of roosters crowing outside. It was said that the night was coming to an end and the sky was about to dawn. Before I knew it, I had been talking all night.
Zhu Yuanzhang knew that the time to go to court was coming. He had no time to listen to what He Xi had to say. Zhu Yuanzhang said: "In that case, let's talk about it in the future."
He Xi couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. He Xi had been talking for most of the night, and he couldn't hold it anymore. Not only the amount of knowledge, but also when facing Zhu Yuanzhang's explanation, it would be very stressful. Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang say this, it was as if he had been granted amnesty. His whole body relaxed slightly.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Your name is He Xi, right?"
He Xi said: "Yes."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "From now on, you are the closed disciple of Zen Master Dazhi of Huangjue Temple. Zen Master Dazhi is my senior brother. When I lived in Huangjue Temple, senior brother Dazhi took the best care of me. He was also my enlightenment teacher.
Now that senior brother has passed away, you have no whereabouts and have come to seek refuge with me. Do you understand?"
He Xi said: "The common people know."
Zhu Yuanzhang seemed not to have heard what He Xi said and continued: "You don't know. From today on, if I hear anything from the outside about the future or future generations, I will definitely take your head."
Of course, if you serve me wholeheartedly, I will not be unworthy of treating a meritorious official."
"When you walk out of this room, you will have one and only one identity. You are the closed disciple of Zen Master Dazhi, He Xi who returned to secular life. Do you know?"
He Xi took a deep breath and thought to himself: "This hurdle has finally passed." He immediately said: "Your Majesty, the common people understand. But, if this news did not come from me -"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You don't have to worry about this." Then he shouted: "Zong Liang."
The old eunuch who had just entered opened the door and walked in step by step.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "This He Xi is the Queen of my old friend. You can arrange for him to change into suitable clothes near the Qianqing Palace."
Zong Liang said: "I obey the order." Then Zong Liang said to He Xi: "Master He, please come this way."
He Xi quickly bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and then followed Zong Liang.
When Zhu Yuanzhang left, he actually had a lot of things to ask. There were so many questions that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know how to ask for a while. But he didn't want to rush this matter.
What he said today greatly stimulated and inspired Zhu Yuanzhang. At the very least, He Xi gave him a lot of ideas. Zhu Yuanzhang has been pursuing the establishment of a system that can run for thousands of years so that future generations can keep it. But now
The system formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang, although there were some modifications in the next six hundred years, it was generally unchanged, and it seemed to have achieved the effect Zhu Yuanzhang wanted.
But is this effect really what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted?
Zhu Yuanzhang could not answer for a while.
An idea came to Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.
"Is this the guidance from God's fake hand?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at He Xi. He felt more and more that this idea was true.
Yes. Zhu Yuanzhang climbed up from the bottom. He has never seen any hardships and hardships, and has seen many life and death. He does not believe in any kind of gods. Moreover, the ancient Chinese were also very smart in religion. It can be said that many ancient Chinese
Outstanding people do not believe in a certain religion devoutly, because for them, religion itself is a tool for them to educate the people.
Of course, it's not that they don't believe in anything. They believe in something more abstract than religion itself. That is destiny.
What is destiny?
This is a concept that is difficult to explain clearly. It is destined or inevitable by the laws of nature.
And Zhu Yuanzhang went from beggar to emperor. He got here step by step. There were many inevitabilities, but there were also many accidents. Zhu Yuanzhang even believed that he was destined by destiny. Only then did he turn misfortune into good luck and disaster into good fortune. It was like Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang fighting.
At that time, the most worrying thing was that Chen Youliang would not take care of Jiangxi, but would go down the river and attack Nanjing. He would accomplish his feat in one battle.
In the end, Chen Youliang did not choose to take a risk.
When Zhu Yuanzhang attacked Chen Youliang, he was most worried about Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang joining forces to attack Jinling from both sides, but Zhang Shicheng never moved.
As for when Zhu Yuanzhang was expanding his power in the south, Liu Futong was wrestling with the Yuan Dynasty in the north. But when Zhu Yuanzhang went on the Northern Expedition, the north became a pot of porridge.
These are the destiny in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.
The arrival of He Xi at this moment, in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, was another kind of destiny. It was the instructions given to him by God when he faced the predicament at hand. Otherwise, how could such a bizarre thing happen and a person can travel through time and space?
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care at all about what He Xi said about time and space. He just remembered one sentence, that is, the so-called history is just another possibility and can be changed.
Isn't this an opportunity given by God to correct his mistakes?
However, he first needs to figure out what happened in the future.
Today's night is too short.
------
A wooden door opened, and the light shone like a beam into the room, cutting a path in the darkness.
The old eunuch Zong Liang walked in front holding a lantern. He said to He Xi: "Master He, this is your residence. This was originally the prince, or Duke of Wei, who would stay here for one night when he was too late to discuss matters in Qianqing Palace. These days
Although there are no permanent residents here, people are always cleaning it. Mr. He, please stay here first."
He Xi quickly saluted the old eunuch and said, "This is a good place."
Zong Liang brought another set of clothes and said, "Here is a bodyguard. The clothes on the young master are so eye-catching."
He Xi looked at the cheap suit he was wearing, which was completely out of place with the quaint palace. He quickly went on to say, "Thank you, father-in-law."
Zong Liang said: "There are guards guarding the outside. If you need anything, young master, just call outside."
He Xi said: "I know."
Zong Liang said: "Then I say goodbye."
Zong Liang then slowly retreated and closed the door behind him.
After Zong Liang left, He Xi relaxed. His whole body seemed to have lost his bones, and he lay limp on the bed.
For a while, my heart was turbulent. I didn't know how to relieve myself in this way.
How could he have thought that an inexplicable recruitment had brought him across hundreds of years of time and space to come to Zhu Yuanzhang. He had just been in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and had no time to think about anything else. Now after he calmed down, countless thoughts came to his mind.
.
Hard to explain.
"Have I become a member of the Ming Dynasty? Brother Zhu Yuanzhang closed his disciples of Zen Master Dazhi. After Zen Master Dazhi passed away, did he return to secular life?" He Xi said softly.
He didn't know whether this Zen Master Dazhi was real or fake. But since Zhu Yuanzhang said so, this would be his identity from now on.
He Xi suddenly thought of something. She immediately stood up and took the backpack on the side. After opening it, there was a laptop, a mobile phone, a charger, and a power bank. Especially the power bank, it was a solar power bank. It was for school.
At that time, when my roommate told me to go for a picnic, he sold it easily. In fact, he had never used the solar charging mode. He usually charged it directly with household electricity. But now it has become his life-saving straw.
He Xi grasped these crystallizations of modern civilization and instantly gained some confidence.
I am confident that I can do well in the Ming Dynasty.
"Perhaps I can even be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households." This thought flashed through He Xi's mind.
His idea did not come to him for nothing, because there is a lot of information in his computer and mobile phone. Although he did not intentionally collect information, but after studying for so many years, his computer also has a lot of books and information. There is a lot of stuff in it.
, seemingly inconspicuous, is actually the crystallization of the times.
With these things, it would be difficult for him to do well even if he wanted to.
Even so, He Xi couldn't sleep. She changed her clothes and ordered a bowl of noodles. After eating, she rolled on the bed for a while before falling asleep. This chapter has been completed!
