Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 89 The Writer
The busiest place in Linhuai County is, of course, Yashu Street where the main entrance of the county government is located.

And Houya Street, where the county government is located, is too deserted.

This is like the relationship between the face and the buttocks. The face is beautiful and beautiful all day long, but the buttocks are hidden.

Because the back office is the inner house of the county magistrate, and the county magistrate is only in office, and he is clean and self-conscious, and does not engage in crooked ways.Naturally, there were basically no people in Houya Street.

In the whole street, there is only one inconspicuous tavern, which is half dead and open.

It was almost noon now, and there was only one table of guests in the store.

The shopkeeper was looking forward to it, and finally a middle-aged guest wearing a felt hat came to the door.

"Guest officer, please, private room or private room?" The shopkeeper hurriedly greeted in person.

"I have an appointment." The guest lowered his head and pointed inside.

"Hey." The shopkeeper was discouraged, and led the hidden guest into the corner of the private room.

"Two guest officers, the person you are waiting for is here."

The two guests inside raised their heads when they heard the words, one was the chief follower of Hanzhi County, and the other was a scholar in his 40s with a round face, long beard and squinting eyes.

~~
Seeing someone coming, the chief casually got up and gave up his seat, and went out to order food with the shopkeeper.

After the visitor was seated, he took off his felt hat with a large brim.The scholar leaned closer to look at him and said: "You are not Han Boshi, Han Boshi is not so old."

The visitor had no choice but to take off the fake beard on his cheeks, his face suddenly looked younger, it was Han Yike.Boshi is his word.

"Mr. Guanzhong's short-sightedness is getting worse." Han Yike said helplessly.

"Who says it's not? My grandson put the unfinished firecrackers on my desk during the Chinese New Year." Mr. Guanzhong said with a wry smile, "I touched it when I was writing at night. I couldn't see what it was, so I took it to the lamp. Look carefully."

"The results of it?"

"As a result, the medicine thread ignited when it touched the fire, and it exploded immediately. My ears were ringing and my face was black. Only then did I know that I had taken a big firecracker." Mr. Guan Zhong said jokingly.

"Oh ha ha..." Han Yike was so amused that he laughed, pointed at the other party and said, "No wonder Mr.'s novels are so superbly written, Mr. is so good at telling stories!"

"Oh, have you read the novel I wrote?" Mr. Guan Zhong asked in amazement: "I don't seem to have shown it to your father and son."

In this day and age, the novel has not yet been refined, and cannot be regarded as a manifestation of talent like poetry and poetry.Instead, it is regarded as the performance of scholars who are not doing their jobs properly.So many times, you don't even know it's a novel until the moment it's published.

"In the fourth year of Hongwu, my teacher retired from his official position. I went to Qingtian to pay a visit. I stayed there for more than a month, and happened to see Mr.'s manuscript." Han Yike explained.

"That's the only possibility." Mr. Guan Zhong nodded and said: "At that time, I asked my son to bring the manuscript to Liu Bowen, and asked him to correct it. By the way, I will see if he can publish it for me."

"Teacher's storytelling is excellent, but it's just that it can't be published for a while." Han Yi said, worthy of the reputation of quick talk.

"Well, he has already told me when I go back to Beijing to see him." Mr. Guanzhong sighed, and asked casually: "Can you publish a book and put it aside for now, which book do you think is the best? "

""San Sui Ping Yao Zhuan", "Romance of the History of the Tang Dynasty and Five Dynasties", "Water Margin", and "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms", I have read all these four books." Han Yike seriously commented:

"I foolishly thought that "Water Margin" was the best. In fact, "Three Kingdoms" is more elegant, but unfortunately there are only twelve volumes, and there are no more.

So it can't compare with "Water Margin". "

"What do you mean there are no eunuchs?" Mr. Guan Zhong scolded with a smile: "Don't worry, "Three Kingdoms" is not a eunuch, there will be ones below! It's just that it hasn't been written yet..."

"Well, sir, if you can write such a masterpiece as "Water Margin", "Three Kingdoms" will definitely be even more exciting!" Han Yike praised him greatly, completely forgetting the entanglement before coming and the cover-up when he came.

""Water Margin" was actually created by my teacher, Mr. Shi Naian, and I compiled it into a book." Mr. Guan Zhong corrected.

Now it goes without saying that his surname is Luo, and his name is Luo Guanzhong.

"That's right, Mr. Nai'an must be eighty years old now?" Han Yike said heartily, his eyesight is probably worse than Luo Guanzhong's.

"My teacher, Hong Wu, passed away in three years, at the age of seventy-five." Luo Guanzhong said lightly, "It is precisely to fulfill my teacher's last wish that I sent the manuscript to Liu Bowen."

"That's it." Han Yike sighed regretfully.

At this time, the long follower knocked on the door, and the two stopped talking and let the shopkeeper come in to serve the dishes.

~~
After the food was served, the door of the private room was closed again.

Han Yike poured a glass of wine from the pot, spilled it on the ground and said, "Respect Mr. Shi Naian and his Liangshan heroes."

"Okay." Luo Guanzhong clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Bo Shi was the first to say that, but he definitely won't be the last."

"I absolutely believe it." Han Yike nodded heavily, and then broke the harmonious atmosphere of the fan meeting.

"It's just that sir shouldn't go to the capital to look for my master." He said in a deep voice, "My master is worried about slander and ridicule, and will be in trouble. If you go, I'm afraid you will be made a fuss about."

As he spoke, he poured another glass of wine, and said sadly: "I, Zhedong, have already killed Qing Qiuzi and Wang Changzong in vain, so I can't torture my master and my teacher anymore!"

"How can I be able to stand side by side with Mr. Qingtian?" Luo Guanzhong shook his head and said, "Besides, the ones Zhu Hongwu wants to exterminate are us old ministers of King Cheng. What do we have to do with him, the founding father of the Ming Dynasty?"

"Sir, you can't say that. At the beginning, everyone was their own master, but now the world has become one. Everyone is a courtier of Ming Dynasty. Do you want to divide each other?" Han Yike shook his head.

"You should tell Zhu Hongwu what you said!" Luo Guanzhong suddenly raised his voice, his chest heaving.

He wanted to pick up broad beans with his chopsticks, but he couldn't afford it.

~~
The grievance between Lao Luo and Boss Zhu is easy to explain clearly.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the south of the Yangtze River was divided into three parts of the world.Zhu Yuanzhang was caught between Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng, and it seemed that he would be finished at any moment.

The territory Zhang Shicheng occupies stretches from Shaoxing in the south to Jining in the north, Huaixi in Henan in the west, and the sea in the east. It spans more than two thousand miles and controls the most affluent place in the world, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers!No matter how you look at it, it looks like the final winner.

In addition, Zhang Shicheng was generous and generous, and he also liked to attract guests, and frequently presented luxurious carriages and houses, gold and silver treasures, so many literati in the south of the Yangtze River at that time joined his Great Zhou regime.

Among them were Shi Naian, Luo Guanzhong's master and apprentice, and Qing Qiuzi mentioned by Han Yike just now.

Qingqiuzi is Gao Qi, the number one talented scholar in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties.

As a result, they soon discovered that Zhang Shicheng had no ambitions, did not listen to advice, and only knew about pleasure.

So they all left Zhang Shicheng disappointed.

For these scholars of the landlord class, Zhu Yuanzhang despises them very much in his bones.But the country is initially determined, and the most important thing is to win people's hearts.So after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, he not only let the past go, but also invited them to come out to serve as officials to stabilize the people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

However, the twisted melon is not sweet, and Boss Zhu and the literati can't urinate in a pot after all.What the literati hoped for was a relaxed political environment, generous economic privileges, preferential treatment in politics, no punishment for high officials, and a shared world between the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats.

In short, even if it is not as good as the Song Dynasty, at least the treatment cannot be worse than that of the Yuan Dynasty, right?

Unfortunately, what they met was Boss Zhu...
