Chapter 113 Give away the medicine pill

Wala was called Oyila in the Yuan Dynasty and Wala in the Ming Dynasty.

During the Yuan Dynasty, the Oara people and the Mongolian people were in a parallel relationship, and both parties intermarryed with each other.

After the destruction of the Yuan Dynasty and the rise of the Ming Dynasty, the royal family of the Yuan Dynasty declined, and the Golden Family was driven to the desert and became various tribes of Tatars.

During the Hongwu period of the early Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty used troops against the Tatars, causing the Oara leader Mengke Timur to rise up and annex various tribes to expand his strength.

In the eighth year of Yongle, Emperor Yongle conquered the Tatars in the north. The Tatars gradually declined, and Oara took the opportunity to go south.

Thus began Emperor Yongle's five expeditions into the desert.

Strictly speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang did not know that there was an Oara tribe behind the Tatars.

It was true that the Oara tribe was too small at this time and could not attract his attention at all.

"So that's it. He is indeed an ambitious barbarian."

After listening to Zhu Quan's explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized and said bitterly: "If you are not of my race, your heart must be different!"

"This is an irreconcilable contradiction between farming people and nomadic peoples, and it has been the case since ancient times."

Zhu Quan shook his head. It was not only the Ming Dynasty that had border defense problems, but also all dynasties.

From the Sebari in the Xia and Shang Dynasties, the Quanrong in the Zhou Dynasty, to the Xiongnu in the Spring and Autumn Period, Qin and Han Dynasties, to the Wuhu in the late Jin Dynasty, to the Turks in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

They are all conflicts between farming peoples and nomadic peoples, or the competition between civilization and barbarism.

In times of peace, the two sides engage in economic and cultural exchanges; in times of conflict, it is the plundering of land and wealth.

In history, the Han people's three voyages to the south were all related to the invasion of nomads.

The first time was due to the Wuhu Rebellion, when the Han people from the Central Plains migrated south for the first time to Jiangxi and Guangdong and Guangxi in later generations.

The second time was due to the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, when the Hu people from the north invaded the Central Plains. During the chaotic Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, a large number of Central Plains people moved south for the second time.

The third time was due to the disgrace of Jingkang, the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed, and Zhao Jiumei established the Southern Song Dynasty in Hangzhou, forcing the Central Plains people to move south for the third time.

"Then in your future generations, have you solved this problem?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in agreement and asked curiously.

"The foreign barbarians are like beasts. They are afraid of power and have no virtue! They are not of my race. If they are strong, they will be bandits. If they are weak, they will be humble and have no regard for kindness. This is their nature."

Zhu Quan shook his head and said: "Only dead aliens are good aliens!"

He didn't want to talk more about this topic. If he talked too much, he might easily provoke the mysterious beast of harmony.

"Then tell us about the cabinet. What does this thing mean?"

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't ask any more questions and quite agreed with what he said.

"The cabinet can be said to be an extension of the prime minister's power."

The topic shifted to the cabinet, and Zhu Quan began to talk eloquently: "Let's start from the beginning, let's talk about the power of the prime minister first."

"The so-called prime minister's power can be subdivided into three parts: deliberation power, decision-making power, and administrative power."

"Since His Majesty abolished the prime minister system two years ago, the power of the prime minister has completely disappeared."

"His Majesty divided the administrative power among the six ministers, and the decision-making and deliberation power was returned to the emperor."

"It was also from the abolition of the prime minister system that the imperial power reached an unprecedented peak. It was truly self-centered and true to its word."

"But in this way, although the emperor holds great power, he also bears a more important mission."

"There is a saying in our future generations that if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight."

"If the emperor is wise, that's fine, but if the emperor is fatuous, wouldn't it mean that the country will be destroyed?"

After saying that, Zhu Quan looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with an inquiring look in his eyes.

Historical records show that Zhu Yuanzhang never slacked off in his diligence and love for the people. He got up at the fourth watch every day, and his clothes were covered with government papers.

He really wakes up earlier than a chicken, goes to bed later than a dog, and works more than a cow.

But not every Ming emperor was called Zhu Yuanzhang.

The subsequent emperors of the Ming Dynasty were each lazier and weirder than the last.

"Are you saying that the descendants of Ming emperors are fatuous?"

Zhu Yuanzhang quickly heard the meaning of his words, widened his eyes and asked.

He remembered that Zhu Quan said that the Ming Dynasty had a state of more than 270 years.

Then, the Ming Dynasty will not be destroyed in a short time.

There is only one problem, the emperors who followed were too stupid.

So why exactly? Is it because of the cabinet?

"After the fourth brother ascended the throne, he changed the reign name to Yongle. He established a cabinet and delegated part of the political power to the emperor with the confidentiality of Hanlin University bachelor and counselor."

Zhu Quan did not answer his question, but continued: "During the Yongle period, although the cabinet ministers accompanied the emperor to participate in politics, their official rank was only fifth rank, and they had no jurisdiction over the six ministries. Their influence in the court was extremely limited, let alone unable to Compared with the prime minister."

"In the Hongxi period when Gao Chi's nephew ascended the throne, the cabinet system was revised. All cabinet ministers were given the title of Minister, Minister, etc., changed into crimson official robes, and had the power to draft votes. The cabinet's deliberation power was further improved. "

"At this time, although the cabinet is still unable to command the six ministries, their power has gradually surpassed that of the six ministers. The first minister of the cabinet is also known as the chief assistant, which is quite similar to the prime minister."

"Officials like to stick together. When the cabinet has more power in deliberation, the officials in the DPRK and the Central Government gradually move closer to the cabinet ministers and stick together for warmth, forming a civilian clique."

"However, although the cabinet has voting power, the real power of discussion and decision-making is still firmly in the hands of the emperor, which is far from the prime minister of the past."

"However, Gao Chi's nephew died after only ten months as emperor. His son Zhanji succeeded to the throne during the Xuande period."

"In order to check and balance the civil servant group headed by the cabinet, Zhanji activated the Secretary of Ceremony, one of the twelve inner court supervisors."

"All cabinet votes submitted to the cabinet must be approved by the eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch who is responsible for etiquette, and the eunuch who holds the seal, before they are submitted to the emperor's imperial court."

"This is the 'right to criticize red' created by that boy Zhanji, to compete with the 'right to draft votes' of the cabinet."

I have to say that the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were very smart, and they were really good at balancing power and strategy.

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji are also very interesting. One is tinkering with the right to issue votes, and the other is tinkering with the right to approve red votes.

Come on, let's hurt each other and see who can outplay whom.

"That kid Gao Chi died after being emperor for only ten months?"

"The right to draft votes and the right to approve red votes"

It was an eye-opener for Lao Zhu. These descendants are really better at playing than each other.

Lao Zhu still had some impression of the little chubby boy from the fourth family's family, and he had even hugged him.

But I didn't expect that the little guy died after only being the emperor for ten months?
"The system of checks and balances between civil servants and eunuchs started with them and continued until the fall of the Ming Dynasty."

"In the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Yongzheng established the Military Aircraft Department on the basis of the cabinet."

"The most confidential members of the cabinet are selected to be included in the records for the purpose of handling urgent military affairs and to assist the emperor in handling government affairs."

"The Military Aircraft Department has overall military and political power and is completely under the direct control of the emperor. It is equivalent to the emperor's personal secretary."

Having said this, Zhu Quan did not hide it and told Lao Zhu the advantages and disadvantages of the cabinet and the military aircraft department.

"Looking back, let's talk about the pros and cons of the Cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department first."

"First, consolidate the imperial power."

One of the two men spoke and the other listened. They spoke seriously and listened even more seriously.

Zhu Yuanzhang took out a pen and paper and wrote down the key points Zhu Quan said.

He planned to record the advantages and disadvantages of the cabinet and the military aircraft department, and then consider whether to establish them later.

Apart from anything else, he couldn't turn a blind eye even for the health of his good boy, A Biao.

It wasn't until Zhu Quan explained all the details of the cabinet and military aircraft department that Zhu Yuanzhang let him go.

"Hu Lao Zhu is too scary"

After leaving the palace, Zhu Quan breathed a sigh of relief.

I was dragged and talked for most of the day without being able to stop for a moment. It was so terrifying.

But having said that, it's still nice to be able to give lectures to the emperor.

Back at Prince Ning's Mansion, Zhu Quan had dinner and rested for a while.

He lay on the bed, opened the chat group, and complained:
"Brothers, I was given a lecture by Lao Zhula today."

Parallel world, Yuanlang Xiangjiang.

"Xiaobao is promising, good, good, good." In the newly bought house, Zhong Daqiang patted Wang Xiaobao on the shoulder, crying and feeling relieved.

If his old comrades hadn't saved his life on the battlefield, how could he be where he is today?

When he received a letter from his old comrade saying that he would entrust his son to him, he was ecstatic.

Now the son of a comrade-in-arms has a promising future. He bought a 1000-square-foot mansion in full just a little over a month after he came here.

Even if he dies now, he can still be worthy of the life-saving grace of his comrades.

"Uncle Zhong, this is just the beginning. I will make more money in the future, and I will be good to Hong Mei all my life."

"By the way, these are two health-preserving elixirs passed down from my ancestors. Uncle Zhong and Auntie should take them."

After becoming famous, Wang Xiaobao did not feel distracted. He knew that he was just a copycat.

Being able to write "Zhu Xian" is entirely a plug-in's ability, so it's not a surprise.

Compared to the excitement of Uncle Zhong Daqiang and his family, he took out two longevity pills with a calm face.

"Okay, okay, I'll leave Xiaohong to you, I'll rest assured."

Zhong Daqiang took the elixir and thought it was really a health elixir, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Afterwards, he left with his wife and children contentedly, leaving only Wang Xiaobao and Zhong Chuhong behind.

In the room, Wang Xiaobao held Zhong Chuhong's waist. The two were so close that they could even feel each other's breathing.

"Hongmei, this will be our home from now on."

The girl's fragrance hit his nostrils, and Wang Xiaobao put his face close to her.

"Yes, our home"

Zhong Chuhong's face was red, and she was anticipating what was going to happen next. She was a little expectant and a little scared.

"dong dong dong"

Just when their lips touched, a gentle and rhythmic knocking sounded.

I could tell that the person knocking on the door was very polite.

Such a turn of events frightened the two people who had eaten the forbidden fruit and separated quickly.

Looking at each other, they both saw the embarrassment and smile on each other's faces.

"Go open the door and see who's coming."

Zhong Chuhong pushed him away and said shyly.

"Who?"

Wang Xiaobao went to open the door reluctantly and shouted.

"Is Mr. Wang Xiaobao at home?"

A familiar voice sounded outside the door, and Wang Xiaobao seemed familiar.

Opening the door, there were Bruce Lee and Editor-in-Chief Zhou of Oriental Daily standing outside.

"Brother Xiaolong, Editor-in-Chief Zhou, why are you here?"

"Come in quickly, Sister Hong, make tea quickly and brew the best Tieguanyin in my drawer."

Seeing the two people outside the door, Wang Xiaobao was very excited and invited them in.

"Sheng Wang, I take the liberty of disturbing you."

Editor-in-chief Zhou presented the gift with both hands with a smile and said politely.

"Brother Xiaobao, excuse me, congratulations on moving to your new home."

Bruce Lee also took out a gift and said with a smile: "A small gift is not a sign of respect."

"You're welcome, please take a seat."

Wang Xiaobao did not refuse. After taking the gifts from the two of them, he invited them to the living room to serve tea.

After the three of them sat down on the sofa, Zhong Chuhong made tea and brought it over, and the three of them drank the tea.

After being polite, Wang Xiaobao asked straight to the point: "Editor-in-Chief Zhou, are you here for the new book?"

"Indeed, after I learned that you had a new book, I had trouble sleeping day and night."

Editor-in-Chief Zhou showed a smile on his face and said, "Sheng Wang, can you let me read the new book?"

"Okay, Brother Xiaolong, Editor-in-Chief Zhou, please sit down for a moment and I'll get the manuscript."

Wang Xiaobao got up and went to the study room and took out a manuscript with the first [-] words in the drawer.

On the first page of the manuscript, two big characters were written: Zichuan.

After receiving the manuscript, Chief Editor Zhou couldn't wait to read it, and quickly became immersed in the story.

In the mythical Xichuan continent, humans, demons, and various races from the Far East... appear one by one.

The blending of blood and fire, the collision of knives and swords, and the interweaving of mystery and mystery create a huge epic.

"Brother Xiaolong, have you finished filming "The Game of Death"?"

While Chief Editor Zhou was reading the manuscript, Wang Xiaobao and Bruce Lee started talking.

"I came here to say goodbye to you. A new drama "Enter the Dragon" has started in the United States, so I have suspended the filming of "Game of Death."

Bruce Lee took a sip of Tieguanyin and frowned slightly. He grew up in the United States and was not used to drinking ancient Chinese tea.

"Oh? Enter the Dragon? As you can tell from the name, it's a great movie. I'd like to give Brother Xiao Long a drink and wish him smooth filming."

Wang Xiaobao has heard of this film, which is an action movie jointly produced by Jiahe Pictures and Warner Pictures.

Directed by Robert Close, starring Bruce Lee, Mao Ying, Sammo Hung, Shi Jian and others.

It was released in the United States in July and achieved an astonishing box office, beating many Hollywood blockbusters released at the same time, and a new Hollywood Kung Fu movie was born.

"Let me borrow your good words, haha."

The two clinked a drink and Bruce Lee smiled.

Although the two of them had known each other for a short time, they were like old friends.

"By the way, Brother Xiaolong, my ancestors handed down two pills."

After taking a sip of tea, Wang Xiaobao took out a wooden box and handed it over, saying, "I heard that there is chaos over there in the United States. Please take it with you for self-defense."

The wooden box contains the elixirs he bought from Qun Mall, one is a disease-curing elixir and the other is a marrow-cleansing elixir.

"Is it handed down from your ancestors? I can't accept it, take it back quickly."

When Bruce Lee heard this, he quickly declined.

"Brother Xiaolong, don't refuse yet, just listen to me."

Wang Xiaobao held his hand and explained: "I am very curious about acting in movies, and I would like to trouble Brother Xiaolong to introduce me to the industry."

"These two pills are my qualifications for advancement. What do you think, Brother Xiaolong?"

It's March, not long after Bruce Lee passed away.

Wang Xiaobao was afraid that he would not be able to make it in time, so he gave him these two pills first.

As for making a movie, it's just an excuse.

"That's fine."

"I'll take it first and teach you how to make movies when I come back from the United States."

Bruce Lee thought for a while, then put away the elixir without any further refusal.

The two hit it off instantly, more like brothers than blood brothers.

I made up my mind that since Wang Xiaobao wanted to act in movies, I would take him into the industry and teach him well.

"It's okay, we'll talk about it when you come back."

Seeing him accept it, the big stone in Wang Xiaobao's heart fell to the ground.

"Okay, okay, I can't stop watching it. It's so exciting!"

At this time, Editor-in-Chief Zhou finally read the first [-] words of "Purple River".

He slapped his thigh suddenly, his face full of excitement.
