"Ouch..." Zhu Youcong was hit in the chest as soon as he turned around.
"What are you doing? You treacherous son! This is your fourth brother! Are you afraid of knocking your younger brother out in such a panic?" Before Zhu Youcong could react, Prince Fu, who was standing beside him, started to yell.
"Baby...baby..." Another fat man came in and panicked. Another one? Still a fat man? Well, it seems that the food in Prince Fu's Mansion is really good. There are already two fat men, one big and one small, in the house. Why don't we have another one now? You must know that this is the end of the Ming Dynasty. The poor families don't even have enough to eat. There are no chickens, foreign garbage, and no hormones. Those who have grown fat are either because the food at home is too good for exercise. Too little, or you'll get edema.
"Father, the children learned that the fourth brother was in good health, so they rushed back from Huaiqing Mansion to celebrate! The second and third brothers were also coming from behind. The children were too anxious, so they rushed ahead and accidentally bumped into the fourth brother. !”
Second brother? Third brother? You still call me fourth brother? Ah... Then isn't he...? Zhu Youcong didn't think wrongly that the person who came in was really Zhu Yousong, the Hongguang Emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty. And the second brother and third brother in his mouth were naturally They are Zhu Youqu, the king of Yingchong, and Zhu Youhua, the king of Dehuai.
"You treacherous son, do you still remember this family and your fourth brother? My father ordered you to take the steward to take over the fiefdom. I wanted to give you a training. When you are ready, you can take your second and third brothers to have fun!" King Fu! But he didn't give Zhu Yousong a good look, and his fat face was red with anger.
"For the record, my father, I did not delay my trip out this time. It's just that the prefect of Huaiqing is really abominable! He only allocated less than a hundred hectares of white land and had conflicts with the people. Even a thousand taels of rice were only given to him. I paid 800 taels, but I argued with him before returning home late!" Zhu Yousong also looked aggrieved. Not only did he not just have a good time, but he actually had conflicts with the local people, and he was really frightened!
"Ah..." Zhu Youcong was dumbfounded, no! How could someone dare to deduct his fat father's salary? You must know that this is the King Fu of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor's uncle, not a migrant worker! And this eldest brother is too What's the matter, a trivial matter like measuring a piece of land actually caused a conflict with the local farmers? How can he win back people's hearts in the future? What's even more speechless is that he quarreled with the prefect over a mere two hundred taels? Big brother, big brother, What do you want me to say about you? A certain big louse in later generations who often appeared on TV said so. King Fu had a fiefdom of two million acres and a salary of 46,000 taels. Do you need to argue for such a small amount of money? Hey... ...It seems that this family is really stingy to the core.
"Hmph... I will handle this matter as a father. Now that you are back, I will accompany your fourth brother!" King Fu was so generous that he did not continue to argue about this small amount of money. Instead, he turned to Zhu Youcong and said, "Conong'er. Ah, you go and meet your three brothers first!"
"Then kid, please leave first!" After the matter was done, Zhu Youcong didn't want to stay here anymore, just in case his fat father wanted to do something else, or got bored and wanted to give him a younger brother or sister to stay here. Aren't you asking for trouble?
"Fourth brother, your illness is so terrible that I'm really worried about it! Come and let me take a good look at it!" As soon as he left the house, Zhu Yousong took Zhu Youcong's hand and moved it up and down. His eyes were very... how should I say it? ?Anyway, it made Zhu Youcong sweat in his heart, for fear that this eldest brother would have some inappropriate hobbies!
"Fourth brother..."
"Fourth brother..."
Before Zhu Youcong could free his hand from his elder brother's clutches, two fat men gathered around him and looked him up and down. He was not seeing a patient here. He was about to catch up with the zoo to see the giant pandas.
"Hello, three brothers!" Zhu Youcong quickly raised his hands and bowed. The situation in front of him was too scary. If he let them watch it any longer, they might lose so much meat...
"Well, it's not bad. Our fourth brother is still so healthy. It seems that he has recovered from his illness! You don't know that originally my three brothers had to stay in Huaiqing Mansion for a few days this time, but as soon as I heard that my fourth brother Your behavior after waking up was so frightening that you didn't even dare to delay after traveling for several days!" Zhu Yousong's eyes were still the same... However, the words he said made Zhu Yousong feel warm in his heart.
Is this still Zhu Yousong? Is he still the "Toad Emperor" Zhu Yousong, the emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty who was very fatuous and decadent in history, who only knew how to eat, drink, and indulge in wine and sex all day long. Even after he became the emperor, he went to the city and ignored the government affairs. ?Zhu Youcong was confused. Looking at his three brothers, feeling the strong brotherly love, there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.
In fact, Zhu Youcong was deceived by history. According to the system of the Ming Dynasty, the cabinet was responsible for politics at that time. Even if the emperor was fatuous, responsible ministers could still maintain the normal operation of the political institution. Considering the situation, the ministers who stayed in the capital needed to He is only a formal spiritual leader. It does not necessarily have to be a wise king with great talents and strategies. Historically, Sima Rui was able to favor the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but he was just a weak and incompetent monarch. The key lies in the concerted efforts of his ministers to maintain the Crisis situation. The reason why Emperor Hongguang was said in history to be the most mediocre emperor of the decadent dynasty, who only knew pleasure, did not care about political affairs, indulged in wine and sex, and was extremely debauched. The big reason was that the Donglin Party members at that time wanted to support King Lu. Moreover, after Zhu Yousong ascended the throne, he appointed eunuchs such as Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng to have constant internal strife with the Donglin Party. Some unexplained palace mysteries arose, such as the Great Bei Case, the Prince Case, the Child Concubine Case, etc., which caused the Southern Ming Dynasty to be in turmoil. The most important thing is that Nan Ming was lost in his hands! In this way, he became a traitor and a slave of the Tatars. The Donglin Party members who were eager to exonerate themselves but still had the right to speak could of course write whatever they wanted. .In addition, the Tatars of the Later Qing Dynasty also wished that the emperors of the Ming Dynasty would be as stupid as possible. Anyway, they should open up a wide range of opinions. As long as you praise the "Great Emperor" and sing the praises of "the chaff is left behind", don't make trouble for the Eight Banners, and don't talk about the mites. Just bad words are enough, of course you have to shave your head and leave a pig tail or something like that. It would be better if this statement is spread for thousands of years under the leadership of the remnants of the Qing Dynasty, until it becomes a reality!
"Fourth brother, come here, this is the peace charm that second brother went to Baima Temple to ask for for you on the way back. It took great difficulty for me to ask for it from Master Deqing who traveled here. It is said that this is the first time he has asked for it for someone. It's safe. Put it on quickly, and my fourth brother will be safe from illness and disaster in the future." As Zhu Youqu said, he hung the peace charm that was still close to his body and exuded body temperature on Zhu Youcong's neck.
"Let me tell you, second brother, you usually dislike those bald guys the most. Why do you have to go to the temple even after midnight on the way back!" Zhu Youhua next to him looked disdainful and took off a jade pendant. He handed it to Zhu Youcong and said: "Fourth brother, third brother doesn't have anything to give as a gift. This is what my brother went to the Shangqing Palace to help you find from the old Taoist priest when you went to Huaiqing Mansion. It is said that it was an evil-warming thing from the former Tang Dynasty. !”
Zhu Yousong jumped up and yelled: "Well, you two boys are willing to give it to you if you dare to love each other. Is it possible that your eldest brother should find a foreign monk to pray for our fourth brother?" Zhu Yousong! He jumped out and shouted.
"Little... little brother, thank you three brothers!" What else can be said? There is such a brother in Zhu Youcong. Just two words of thanks are not enough to represent him, but no amount of words can express the gratitude in his heart. .
"Why do brothers say thank you? Don't act like a child. Although the eldest brother has no ability, and he has not asked for any peace charms or thousand-year-old evil things, he will remember your kindness. No, brother I have found the chef of your favorite candied haws shop in Huaiqing Prefecture for you. From now on, fourth brother can eat it whenever he wants, and no longer has to wait a few days for someone to buy it. ." Zhu Yousong reached out and wiped away the tears on Zhu Youcong's face...
In the eyes of others, these may be just trivial things, but in Zhu Youcong's eyes, everything is so heart-warming. At this moment, he truly felt the deep affection between brothers. Maybe they are ridiculous or they Shameless, but they really cared about their half-brother, taking care of him and pampering him without any regrets. Especially Zhu Yousong, as the eldest son of the concubine Zou, because of him Because of Zhu Youcong's existence, he had to give up his position as the crown prince for seven years and would not be able to inherit everything from Prince Fu.
"Well!" Zhu Youcong nodded vigorously, vowing secretly in his heart that he would do everything in his power to protect this family, and no matter what, he would not let his relatives be slaughtered and slandered! "It's my fault. Let's go! Go eat candied haws on a stick. !”
"Let's go! Go eat candied haws on a stick!"
ps: The main reference for the evaluation of Emperor Hongguang is "Nandu Lu". "Nandu Lu" is a collection of imperial edicts and memorials and the words and deeds of courtiers when the Ming Dynasty historian Li Qing was appointed Zuocheng of Dali Temple in the Hongguang Dynasty of the Southern Ming Dynasty. It was recorded day by day in a compendium diary style. The major events of the Hongguang Dynasty started from the fourth month of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen (1644) when King Fu Zhu Yousong came to Nanjing to supervise the country, and ended when Zhu Yousong was captured in the fifth month of the first year of Hongguang (1645). Every two months was compiled into one volume, totaling sixteen volumes. .Li Qing served in the Southern Ming Dynasty and participated in many political decisions. Most of his accounts are based on what he witnessed and heard. Moreover, Li Qing was "neutral and independent". He did not participate in party disputes and had no sectarian opinions. He was also rigorous in scholarship and held fair opinions, so his writings It is far more detailed and reliable than other historical materials of the Southern Ming Dynasty. It has high historical value. This book is a forbidden book in the Qing Dynasty. There are several records about Emperor Hongguang that I personally think are important. Excerpts are as follows 1: "Like catching shrimps on the Dragon Boat Festival, this palace The old rules were mixed with filthy words, and it was said that boys and girls were raped, and the dead came one after another. There was no distinction between internal and external slander. When the country was destroyed, the palace maids rushed into the houses of the people and complained about it, and then they found out the truth." This shows that catching toads on the Dragon Boat Festival is the way to go. Convention rather than Hongguang's original creation, as for the ** virgin, it is pure slander! 2: "Yan lives in the deep palace. Every time he wanders around, he sighs, saying that all the ministers are not willing to use me, and he is rarely close to Wu Ji." The general idea is Even the Jiangnan girls in the palace rarely get close to each other! What does this mean? Is it because the palace maids are too ugly that Hongguang Emperor has no desire? Or is it because he can't find capable ministers who can be used by him? He even lost the heart to find beautiful women? 3: "Shang Kuanren never pursued any investigation after he came to the throne. One day, the ministers and King Lu were involved. The king said, 'King, my uncle, I will also divide my ears.'" Even Qian Qianyi, a famous traitor and member of the Donglin Party, There is also a poem: "One year, the emperor's court was small, and he regretted the false announcements and punishments. There were no flowers singing in the back pavilion, and there was no glass of wine to persuade the stars. The foxes on the ground blew their lips with their strength, and the ghosts and ghosts screamed in the face. The treacherous sycophants did not follow. "Beijing and Luo are exhausted, but there are still poisons left to sting the paintings." Expressing resentment against the rumors splashed on Emperor Hongguang! In addition, a paragraph was found on the attitude of the Tatars towards the Ming Dynasty emperor: the preface to the "Collection of Yang Sichang" edited and revised by Liang Songcheng said this A passage: "The Questions and Answers of Siku Quanshu" talks about Emperor Qianlong's private intention in compiling the complete book, saying: 'For those in the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Qianlong wanted to expose Zhu Ming's shortcomings, so he collected records of various misconducts in the Ming Dynasty and made them follow. The famous works of the ancients will be passed down to future generations, so as to spread their evil in the world forever.'" Let's look at Emperor Qianlong's gritted teeth when he mentioned Li Qing: "If he was still alive, he must be punished and punished with a constitution. Now he has escaped. Xianlu, the books he wrote should be searched and destroyed if they are contradictory, so as to rectify people's hearts with the theory of eliminating evil."
