In the thirty-seventh year of the Zhengyuan Dynasty, in Beijing City of the Ming Dynasty, An Guo Gongfu. . . A big tree that is two hundred years old has extremely lush branches and leaves, covering a large area under it in its own shade. And in this shade are seven people, two old and five young, including The six of them were listening to an old man in ordinary white linen in front of them telling a story.
"Finally, Guo Jing and Huang Rong said goodbye to Tuo Lei and other Mongolian generals, and no longer returned to Xiangyang to meet the Song generals guarding the city, but turned east. They wanted to return to Peach Blossom Island and become a pair of gods and gods from now on. Companion." That's right, what the old man was talking about was the story of the martial arts masterpiece "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" that was known to almost everyone in later generations. And in this next year, no one can tell this story except Tang Feng, who has memories of his past life. [.]
Decades have passed, and the high-spirited young Duke, the first person in the Ming Dynasty who held the world in his own hands, is now old. In the past three years, he has handed over all state affairs to people he trusts, such as his three sons and those who later passed the imperial examination after the reform. These people were more liberal in their thinking than the officials of the older generation, and Tang Feng was relieved to entrust Ming Dynasty's future hopes to them.
"Grandpa, are you gone?" A seven or eight-year-old child asked in a sweet voice. This was the youngest son born to Tang Feng's third son and his most beloved grandson.
Holding him on his knees, Tang Feng said with a smile: "Yes, this story ends here, because the world was later taken away by the Mongols. It was not until another hundred years passed that our Ming Dynasty Tai Emperor Zu was born and drove the brutal Mongolian Tatars back to the grassland." He didn't want to talk about the ending of the battle between Guo and Huang in Xiangyang, because that was a tragedy after all.
"Sir, which book did you read this story from? Why haven't I heard you mention it before?" From the title, you can tell who the old man who spoke is who has been following him all this time. Tang Feng answered questions. Although one of them is over seventy and the other is over sixty, the young master who has been called him for decades has not changed at all.
Tang Feng was stunned when he heard this, and then said: "That's what I was dreaming about." At this time, even he himself didn't know if the time travel in his previous life was indeed a thing? Perhaps only when he recalled some knowledge he knew in his previous life, could he be sure of his true identity - a person who came to this world from a distant time and space.
While everyone was talking, a nimble figure strode into the yard. Judging from his figure and appearance, he was 70% similar to the young Tang Feng. It was his second son Keman. As soon as he saw his father here, Keman immediately slowed down, the trace of anger on his face disappeared, and he saluted Tang Feng: "My child has met your father."
Tang Feng glanced at him with a half-smile, and then said, "Did something unpleasant happen to you?"
"This" Keman was stunned for a moment and looked at the children. Seeing this, Jieyuan quickly stood up and said to the children: "Let's go find a watermelon. It's too hot today." The children were immediately attracted by the watermelon and followed him. Heading to the backyard, only Tang Feng and his son were left here.
"Dad, because you are no longer involved in court affairs, I have been hiding some things from you for fear that you would be angry."
"Oh? Aren't you afraid that I will be even more angry after knowing that you hid something from me?" Tang Feng said angrily: "If you have anything to say, just tell me. Although your father and I are old, I can still do some things. The Lord¡¯s.¡±
"It's like this. Recently, the officials and officials in the court have become restless again. We have received several memorials from the General Affairs Department to impeach you and the high officials in the court. They bluntly said that dad and those adults are destroying our Ming Dynasty. A century-old foundation, if this continues, the country will not be a country, and one day the world will be in chaos." Apparently this matter has been weighing on Keman's heart for some time, and he gets very angry once he talks about it, and he immediately puts it aside. They couldn't help it anymore: "They are obviously thinking of attacking our Tang family when they see you, father, no longer in your position. Dad, we can't be polite to them anymore!"
"Why, according to your intention, do you want to hold all these people accountable?" Tang Feng sneered: "You are over thirty, why are you still so impatient? Can't you complain that your official position is just a doctor in the Ministry of War? What? Can we learn from your eldest brother and third brother?"
"Dad, I" Keman saw that his father was a little angry, and he was about to argue, but Tang Feng waved his hand to stop him: "I know you are defending me, but it is impossible for people to be convinced by what you do. . Back then, the eunuchs were able to cover the sky with one hand. Didn¡¯t they just fall down as usual? Your father and I are not gods and Buddhas. It¡¯s just a matter of being criticized for a few words. "
Seeing that his son still seemed a little angry, Tang Feng added: "Actually, I have made so many changes to Ming Dynasty, and there are manyIt¡¯s understandable that people in the old days resent me, but it¡¯s just mediocre not to be hated by others. What's more, what harm can these people's criticisms do to me? Later generations will naturally have a clear understanding of whether it is a merit or a fault. It cannot be determined by one or two sentences from these officials.
"Look now, the Mongols who have been invading our borders with the Ming Dynasty have become loyal, and the Jin people have been annexed by our Han people, and even our Han people live on their land. Overseas trade has been fully opened, and the people's lives are better It¡¯s getting better and better. Will future generations really turn a blind eye to all this?
"Some of them said that what I, Tang Feng, did was not done by the ministers. I can accept it, because in my eyes, no matter how great the interests of the king are, they are not greater than the interests of the people and the nation. Since I have done it, why can't I Let them say it? What I have been working hard to achieve is a world where everyone dares to tell the truth and can tell the truth. Am I becoming that special case? "
"Father" Keman said with a look of shame on his face: "My child understands your good intentions"
"As long as you really understand, you have to keep these words in your heart. From now on, the Ming Dynasty will rely on you, and you have to put this idea into practice. Although the Ming Dynasty is a vast land and rich in resources, it has thousands of years of thought. The burden is too heavy. If you want to make a breakthrough at this time of great change, you must break too many previous rules. In my life, I just took the first step towards such a goal, and in the future, the Ming Dynasty, and even the Han Dynasty The future of the nation depends on you to create it.¡±
"My child will definitely keep these words in mind!" Keman immediately agreed respectfully again.
"Old man, you have stopped being an official a long time ago, why do you still like to take care of things so much? Don't forget what you promised me and my sister?" While the two father and son were talking, a trembling old woman appeared The man slowly walked over with the support of a maid and said to Tang Feng with a smile.
"Madam, you are right. Aren't I just saying a few more words because I was afraid that they would not make progress? Don't worry, after I got rid of everything three years ago, I never want to return to the intrigues and intrigues in officialdom. I have been with those people all my life. Dou, there are countless people who have died in my hands, so you should be more peaceful when you grow old."
"That's true." Liu Hui smiled and nodded: "Now that we are all old, the world should be created by young people, otherwise they will call you a thief!"
"How do you say this?" Tang Feng was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that what his wife said was "You are a thief if you don't die when you are old." Then he laughed and said: "Okay, okay, I won't care about anything from now on, old man! "
In the forty-fifth year of the Ming Dynasty, An Guogong, Tang Feng and Tang Yizhi, who was over eighty years old, passed away in his home. On that day, countless people consciously put on mourning for him, and the imperial court suspended court for three days, feeling extremely sad and honorable.
Of course, there are also those who snicker among these people, such as the Zhengyuan Emperor Zhu Cihuan who has always had the title of emperor, but has never been the emperor. He has passed his forties, but he has never even issued an imperial edict that truly meant what he wanted. In the first thirty-five years, it was Tang Feng who suppressed him, and in the next ten years, it was the children of the Tang family who suppressed him. When all this had become a habit, as the emperor, he no longer had the consciousness to resist.
However, he still had resentment towards Tang Feng, so when he learned of his death, although he was very sad on the surface, he was actually very happy. But this cannot change the status quo, and the monarchy has fallen from power.
A hundred years later, when the Chinese nation is at the top of the world and truly has all the nations coming to court, the emperor is still named Zhu, but not many people have figured out what his name is
