019 Chaos is born


"What a fire foreman!!"

Lin Bufan stood by Yingshui with his hands behind his back, looking at the rolling Yingshui, and was amazed.The dying struggle of the fire foreman Tuo just now was indeed wonderful, and he almost let him run away.It's a pity that the "Eighteen Palms of the Descending Dragon" is not so easy to suffer, in Lin Bufan's opinion, after the fire foreman Tuo is already a dead man, Lin Bufan returned to the inn where he settled and prepared to take a small rest.Early the next morning, Lin Bufan took Cao Yi to the Shaolin Temple.As for the shopkeeper, Lin Bufan didn't even have the interest to take a look, but when Lin Bufan came to the Shaolin Temple, he ate a closed door.Although the words of the monk are unknown, Lin Bufan didn't know what was going on in Shaolin Temple since he saw the fire foreman.In fact, Lin Bufan had expected this kind of thing, so he went back directly with Cao Yi.After this difficulty, Shaolin Temple has completely declined Shaolin Temple Dharma Academy, which is the cultivation place of Shaolin Temple's high-level warrior monks.When the fire foreman Tuo was competing in martial arts, he not only disabled all the nine disciples, but also killed the first Kuzhi Zen master of the Dharma Academy.In addition, after that, the departure of the first Kuhui Zen master in the Luohan Hall, and the weakening of the Shaolin Temple were inevitable.In fact, even if there is no catastrophe, Shaolin Temple is difficult to be taken into the eyes of Lin Bufan.The Dharma Academy of Shaolin Temple is in charge of the high-ranking warrior monks of Shaolin Temple, and their status is respected.Under normal circumstances, the martial arts of the first seat of the Dharma Academy will not be much worse than that of the abbot.The martial arts of the fire foreman Tuo Lin Bufan has been taught, except for the strength in his hands that is different from ordinary people, there is nothing else commendable.It can be seen that the martial arts of the Shaolin Temple did decline, and just a few days later, the Shaolin Temple announced the closure of the entire Jianghu martial arts, and the former "No. 1 faction in the world" completely withdrew from the Jianghu martial arts.After ————————.Lin Bufan took Cao Yi and continued to walk east, coming to Bianliang, the capital of the former Northern Song Dynasty.Bianliang because of the "shame of Jingkang" in the past.It was hit hard.However, because of Bianliang's unique geographical location, it quickly recovered.Although it is far from comparable.The glory of the former imperial capital.But the prosperity of Bianliang still made Cao Yi exclaim again and again.But the good mood of the master and apprentice didn't last long, and they saw that there were errand servants, and they were assigned from house to house.Conscription was the ruler of ancient China who forced the people to do some unpaid labor, including forced labor, miscellaneous labor, military service, etc.In ancient times, the common people often referred to conscription and taxation together.It is a great mountain that weighs on the people.The scope of conscription is very wide, as small as building a canal and an official road for the county.From building the Great Wall to digging the Grand Canal, everything is covered.Some major projects are repaired for several years, and all the strong laborers in the family have gone to labor, leaving the old and weak women and children, how to farm?

Without farming, the land will be barren and the people will fall into famine.The country will be in turmoil.Therefore, super projects such as building the Great Wall and digging the Grand Canal really shook the country's foundation at the time.It's about changing the dynasty.In addition, the most feared thing for the common people is military service.Military service is to let the people act as strong men, transporting grain and grass supplies to the front line.Not to mention the danger, and as long as the battle is not over, you have to keep sending it down, as long as the Central Plains Dynasty dispatches a large army, the food and grass supplies needed are astronomical.The number of men to be requisitioned is often several times greater than that of the army.Years of conquest will not only lead to the emptiness of the treasury.It will also be because the country has a large number of strong laborers.Do not work in the fields, which leads to chaos in the country.Therefore, in the eyes of the ancients, it was too uneconomical to fight, just like the Northern Song Dynasty.I'd rather send money to the Khitan every year than go to war.How much grain does it cost to fight a war, how many people are mobilized, how many ordnance and materials are used, and the annual tribute sent to the Khitan.Although the Northern Song Dynasty made enough profits, it abandoned armaments.So once you meet a guy like Jurchen who doesn't play cards according to the routine, you will pay a heavy price.The reason for this mission to levy the common people's labor was to build a palace for Jin Zhangzong.After hearing the news, although the people were extremely reluctant, they did not resist.The Chinese people are extremely kind, they are extremely tolerant.Although the rulers are extremely harsh, as long as the rulers are a little kind to the people, they will remember it.And after Lin Bufan saw that Jin Zhangzong began to requisition the people to overhaul the palace, he looked up to the sky and sighed, sighing: "The glory of the 'rule of Mingchang' has come to an end since then!!

”This year is gold, and Cheng'an is the second year!!

———————— when the crown prince Wanyan Hongyu wantonly recruited people in order to please Jin Zhangzong.The second king of Jing finished Yan Hongjing, and also began to move frequently.Wanyan Hongjing saw very clearly that the crown prince had finished a prince who was completely opposite to the emperor's pace, and there would be no good end.So who's the turn?

Yourself, of course.However, Wanyan Hongjing was not too careless, because the sixth Wanyan Honglie was too much of a threat to him.So he took advantage of the fact that Yan Honglie was going south and was ready to give Jin Zhangzong a big gift.After the death of Jin Zhangzong's Empress Zhenggong, that is, the crown prince's biological mother, Empress Qinhuai, Jin Zhangzong has never established another queen.The latter position has been vacant for many years, and it has always been coveted by all forces.Some time ago, Liang Dao, a eunuch who was placed in the palace by Wanyan Hongjing, recommended someone to him.This person's name is Li Shi'er, and he is not only beautiful and beautiful.The most commendable thing is that he is talented, and he is excellent in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and poetry.So, Wanyan Hongjing signaled Liang Dao, cooperated with him, and recommended this person to Jin Zhangzong.One day, Wanyan Hongjing entered the palace to meet him.After seeing the gray hair on Jin Zhangzong's temples, he grabbed Liang Dao, who was waiting on the side, and punched and kicked him.After Jin Zhangzong stopped him, he knelt on the ground and wept."

My father sits on the world and works so hard every day.It's a shame to hate these slaves and maids, and they really deserve to die if they didn't take good care of their father.Those concubines in the harem are also damned!!

”Although Yan Hongjing's words were a little inappropriate, Jin Zhangzong did not reprimand, but was moved in his heart.However, as soon as Jin Zhangzong thought of those concubines in the harem, his face was a little unhappy.The marriage of the emperor is a political product.The concubines in his harem are all from the major aristocratic factions of the Jurchens, and they are intriguing with each other all day long, and they are very happy.When Jin Zhangzong returned to the harem after a busy day, all he saw was chicken feathers.And these women are all the daughters of traditional Jurchen nobles, in the eyes of Jin Zhangzong, who yearns for Han culture and is full of artistic cells, it is too vulgar Yan Hongjing suddenly stood up, grabbed Liang Dao, and scolded: "Could it be that my father is sitting on thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and I can't even find a woman who can serve my father well!!

”Liang Dao, who was grabbed by the collar and shook vigorously by Wanyan Hongjing, shouted loudly: "The prince is angry!"

The prince is angry!!

The slave has something to say!!

Something to say!!

”After Liang Dao was put down by Yan Hongjing, he knelt in front of Jin Zhangzong and said: "Your Majesty, the slave maid is in the palace hall, and I once saw a strange woman, who is not only captivating the country and the city, but also talented" As soon as Liang Dao said this, Jin Zhangzong became interested.Alluring the country or something, he doesn't care, what kind of beauty he hasn't seen.However, the talent aroused his interest, and in this way, Li Shi'er jumped from a lowly palace maid to Jin Zhangzong's favorite concubine.And her family also became a human being.

(In history, Li Shi'er was favored in the fourth year of Mingchang.)I'm going to put it off a few years a little bit here. )———————— Lin Bufan's face has not been very good since he was in Bianliang City and saw that the Jin Kingdom began to levy people on a large scale.For this period of history, to be honest, Lin Bufan doesn't know much.The rise of Genghis Khan made all the emperors of the same period dim.But he knew that since Mingchang, the Jin Kingdom had begun to fall into a crazy weakening.Lin Bufan was still very puzzled before, judging from Jin Zhangzong's various measures, he could be regarded as a male master.How can the country be governed into that kind of virtue in the future?

Now find out the reason In history, there is a law of ivory chopsticks.This allusion comes from the book "Think Tank" by Feng Menglong in the Ming Dynasty.It is said that after the king ascended the throne, he ordered someone to carve a pair of ivory chopsticks for him.The virtuous minister was extremely worried about the future of the king.If you use chopsticks with ivory, you can't use earthenware, you must use bowls made of rhino horn and cups made of white jade.It is impossible to fill the jade cup rhino bowl with coarse tea and light rice, it must be delicacies from the mountains and seas.After eating the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, you will definitely not be wearing coarse cloth clothes and living in thatched houses.It must be if you wear splendid clothes, ride in a gorgeous carriage, and live in a high-rise building.Then the desire is endless, regardless of the truth or falsity of the story, the theory he put forward is indeed extremely correct.How many male masters in history can't escape the law of ivory chopsticks in the later period.Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Taizong of the Tang Dynasty were all strict with themselves in the early stage.created an earth-shattering feat, but in their later years, they were more or less addicted to pleasure, which made their glorious image a little flawed.However, in the face of their great achievements, this flaw is not worth mentioning.But other people, Chen Sheng, Wang Mang, Chen Houzhu, Emperor Yang of Sui, Huang Chao, Zhu Wen, Li Yu, Li Zicheng, Hong Xiu, all of them are innumerable This law warns us that there can be no first time in everything.The first time may be insignificant, a pair of ivory chopsticks, a palace.It's just that once the dam bursts, the flood water will pour down.Take a look at those corrupt officials, as long as they accept the first small bribe, the rest will be up to him.But how weak is human willpower.Once at the pinnacle of power, how many people can refuse this first time?

When Jin Zhangzong began to overhaul the palace, the fate of the Jin Kingdom was already sealed (to be continued. )
