I run around all day just to be hungry, and then I feel full and think about clothes.
I have enough food and clothing, but I also want a beautiful wife.
Marry a beautiful wife and have children, but hate having no land and no foundation.
I bought a lot of vast fields, no boats to go in and out, and few horses to ride on.
The mule and horse were tied to the trough head, lamenting that I had no official position and was bullied.
The county magistrate's book is still too small, and he wants to hang a purple coat in the middle.
If the world wants to be satisfied, there is no other choice but to be in a dream.
Human nature is greedy and never satisfied. According to the analysis of a scholar who studied history in the Ming Dynasty, it was this insatiable nature that promoted the development of the buds of capitalism in the Ming Dynasty.
Liu Chengyin, the uncle of Dingman, was very angry! He was angry that he was a junior official! He had tens of thousands of troops under his command, so he made him the uncle of Dingman, the commander-in-chief of Wugang.
Li Guo, the nephew of Li Zicheng who was a former thief, was actually granted the title of Marquis of Xingguo.
Emperor Longwu was too stingy! He, Li Guo, was nicknamed "Yi Hu", and I, Old Liu, was nicknamed "Liu Tieguang". If you can beat a tiger with an iron stick, how can I, Old Liu, be inferior to him?
Last year, Liu Chengyin gave Gong Shanxuan a beating in the military department.
Emperor Longwu ordered Gong Shanxuan to carry the imperial edict and confer Li Guo as the Marquis of Xingguo. He passed by Wugang, the territory under Liu Chengyin's jurisdiction.
When the angel comes, Uncle Liu will naturally ask: "Old Gong, why are you going?"
"The Holy One asked me to canonize Li Guo"
"How high an official position can he be given?"
"The Marquis of Xingguo".
"What! I, Lao Zhang, only had an army of tens of thousands, so he was granted the title of uncle. Why should he be granted the title of marquis after he had been a thief?"
"You have to ask Your Majesty about this, I'm just a messenger."
"I, Old Liu, can't beat His Majesty, but I can beat you! Come on! Give this guy a good beating!"
Bang, the subordinates picked Gong Shanxuan to give him a good beating. Liu Tiegang thought that by beating the envoy, Emperor Longwu must know that the title given to him is too small, and he will probably make himself a marquis soon.
Unexpectedly, before the edict from the feudal lord was received, news came that Emperor Longwu had died!
Oh, Your Majesty! Just die, and give me, Liu, a level up before you die!
??
Liu Chengyin called his younger brother Liu Chengyuan and four sworn relatives Liu Yuansheng, Liu Xiangke, Liu Zhen, and Liu Lusheng over to discuss.
Liu Chengyin's group of relatives is incredible, diverse, both civil and military.
His younger brother Liu Chengyuan used to be a cloth seller. After Liu Chengyin became rich, he became a deputy general.
Liu Yuansheng, a big landowner and a tyrant in the countryside.
Liu Xiangke, a pig butcher, has strength.
Liu Lusheng, teacher.
Liu Zhen, a sixth-grade chief, a small official with a big sesame size.
The last four were not relatives of Liu Chengyin, but because they were all named Liu, and Uncle Liu valued talents who could drink the most, Su Xing became friends with these four and became brothers with the same surname.
I don’t want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but I want to drink a little wine until I die in the same year, the same month and the same day.
"After all, the emperor is gone, what should we do in the future?"
"Brother, in my opinion, you might as well just proclaim yourself emperor," Liu Chengyuan shouted.
"Yes, brother, if you become the emperor, all the brothers will accept it." Liu Yuansheng and Liu Xiangke agreed.
"Brother, I think it's better to give someone the surname Zhu." Liu Lusheng is a scholar with traditional ideas.
After all, Liu Zhen was a sixth-grade official, so he had some insight: "Brother, you can't directly become the emperor. If you become the emperor, you will become the target of public criticism and everyone will attack you. You should learn from Cao Cao and use the emperor to control the princes."
Liu Chengyin's eyes lit up and he asked Liu Zhen: "Second brother, how can you hold the emperor hostage to order the princes?"
Liu Zhendao: "King Gui Zhu Youlang is in our Wugang. He is the grandson of Shenzong. It is right to make him emperor. You support him, hold the power in your hands, and then order others. This is the world.
Isn’t it ours?”
"If we support that kid, can he make us a marquis?"
"We established him, we don't have the final say. Let alone a marquis, he is a duke. My eldest brother deserves it too."
"Hahaha, second brother, your method is good, let's do it like this!"
??
After King Zhu Youlang of Gui fled to Wugang, Liu Chengyin placed him in Prince Min's Mansion.
At this moment, a scribe of about forty years old, wearing a green Confucian scarf and an ink Confucian shirt, with sharp eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a straight nose and thin lips, was kneeling in front of him.
This man has sharp edges and corners, his hair is disheveled, and he is elegant and delicate despite being wild. He is Zhang Tongchang, a student of Qu Shichu and a native of Zhongshushe.
At that time, Qu Shiqi and Zhang Tongchang wrote poems together to criticize Zhu Hengjia. Before Qu Shiqi died heroically, he asked Zhang Tongchang to come to Wugang to assist Zhu Youlang, the king of Gui. He said that Zhu Youlang was the grandson of Shenzong, and he would inherit the throne and follow the way of heaven.
Please follow the people's wishes.
When he saw King Gui for the first time, Zhang Tongchang was shocked: King Gui is so handsome!
Zhu Youlang, according to historical records, has a majestic appearance, very much like Shenzong.
Zhang Tongchang secretly praised: The phoenix looks like a dragon, the dragon looks like a sun, it is the true quality of Yao and Shun! He is also the master of ZTE!
However, he soon discovered that this prince studied late and had a low level of education.
Not only that, but what's even more fatal is that he has a cowardly character and is as timid as a mouse.
After the death of Emperor Longwu, Zhang Tongchang repeatedly advised Zhu Youlang to proclaim himself emperor quickly and recruit Longwu's remaining ministers for his own use.
Zhu Youlang was afraid of causing trouble and refused to agree.
"Your Highness, you are a grandson of the Shenzong. No one in the clan has more noble blood than yours. Now that Emperor Longwu is dead, if you don't inherit the throne, what will happen to all the people in the world?" Zhang Tongchang cried again and urged Zhu Youlang to quickly ascend the throne.
Proclaimed emperor.
"No, no. Bieshan, you are trying to harm Gu! Now the world is in chaos. If Gu becomes emperor, the Tartars in the north will fight against Gu, and the King of Jingjiang in the south will fight against Gu. How can Gu have any fate? I don't want to think about Gu.
"I want to be emperor, I just want to be a prince of peace." Zhu Youlang refused again.
"Bang, bang", the door of Prince Min's Mansion was knocked open.
Liu Yuansheng marched in with hundreds of soldiers: "My eldest brother wants to support King Gui as the emperor. Please ask King Gui to enter the Fengtian Hall with the last general to accept the congratulations from all the officials."
Zhu Youlang hurriedly said: "You are so virtuous, so you should support other clans."
Liu Yuan got angry: "King Gui is ignorant. You fled to Wugang. My eldest brother worked tirelessly to protect you, and now I support you as emperor. Not only are you not grateful, but you are pushing back and forth. What's the reason?"
Zhu Youlang was too scared to speak.
Liu Yuansheng didn't talk nonsense and ordered his men to take out the dragon robes they had prepared and put them on Zhu Youlang.
He also asked people to carry in a shoulder cart, put Zhu Youlang on the shoulder cart, and carried him away.
As he walked, he shouted: "Brother, I have brought the emperor here for you."
Zhang Tongchang scolded Liu Yuansheng for his rudeness while following closely behind Zhu Youlang.
He was filled with anger and helplessness. He never expected that what he had been unable to accomplish for several months would be accomplished by a martial artist in less than half an hour.
??
King Zhu Youlang of Gui proclaimed himself emperor, and his reign was Yongli.
Regardless of whether he wants it or not, the first thing he must do is to make Uncle Liu Chengyin a Marquis. No, Duke, Uncle Liu's status has increased.
Liu Chengyin granted the title of Duke of Wu and the State of Zhu, and bestowed upon him Shang Fangjian and the python jade governor.
The other members of the old Liu family naturally also ascended to heaven.
His brother Liu Chengyuan is Wugang Bo; his relative Zheng Fengyuan is the right minister of the Ministry of War; Liu Yuansheng is the minister of Taipu Temple; Liu Xiangke is You Yude; the principal Liu Zhen is the censor; Liu Lusheng is the editor.
After all, he is a grandson of Shenzong and has noble blood. Zhu Youlang ascended the throne and attracted a group of scholars to defect to him.
Zhu Youlang taught Zhang Tongchang, Wu Bing was the bachelor of Dongge University, Zhou Dinghan was the lecturer of the Hanlin Academy, Liu Yaozhen was the military officer, Yang Qiaoran was the deputy capital censor, Fu Zuolin and Qu Mingfeng were the censors.
