Chapter 52 Talking about the History of the Song Dynasty (Eighth)
Zhu Houzhao is completely a child's character. He doesn't even have any interest in learning. But when he heard that there is something fun, he immediately stared at him and asked, "What is the turbulence?"
Chen Xi pretended to be surprised: "The prince doesn't even know what the weaving is? Oh, it's such a pity that I haven't played with such a fun thing."
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he became angry. I am the prince. I have never heard of anything good. How dare you laugh at me? If Chen Xi was an ordinary servant, he would have ordered him to drag him out to fight. But Chen Xi said now that it was his husband, and his father explicitly prohibited him from being disrespectful to his husband.
Zhu Houzhao pulled Liu Jin's belt and pulled it closer: "What is stimulating knitting?"
If you want to die, don't pull me. Liu Jin glanced at Chen Xi with embarrassment. Facing Zhu Houzhao, he couldn't tell what was going on for a long time.
"Useless things, who do you know what guinea pig is? I have many rewards!"
Zhu Houzhao got angry, and everyone present was silent.
The prince is famous for his willfulness. Even if he offers rewards first, no one dares to say anything. If the emperor knows that the prince will be able to play with crickets, his head will not be enough to cut.
Seeing that the situation was wrong, Jin Gui quickly came over and pulled Chen Xi: "Shen Zhongyun, don't make any trouble."
Chen Xidao: "I will never implicate Brother Jin, just record it."
Jin Gui said he didn't dare to remember anything. When Shen Xi was "doing things wrong", he was incompetent and he was also unlucky to escape the blame.
Zhu Houzhao punched and kicked a group of servants for a while, rushed back angrily and pointed at Chen Xi: "I ordered you to tell me what the turban is!"
Chen Xi smiled and said, "Your Highness wants to know, just ask, why bother others? But this turban is a kind of worm between the rubble in the mountains. When the prince slept at night, could he hear the turban call?"
"Word? What's so strange about it? Is it fun to have my oriole?" Zhu Houzhao looked dissatisfied.
Chenxi Road: "There is nothing strange to insects, but if two people are weaved together, they will fight each other. They will have to stop until you die and die, and the fun will be in it."
Zhu Houzhao had some interest on her face and ordered Liu Jin: "You go and grab a few turbans for this palace to come back, and see if it's as interesting as what he said."
Liu Jin said anxiously: "Your Highness, you are studying now, and you want to play... and wait until the study is over."
Zhu Houzhao was full of anger: "I study every day, haven't I finished it yet? Go and catch the turban for me quickly. If I can't catch it, I will put you together and you can only live one of them!"
Liu Jin was so worried that he could strangle Chen Xi to death!
What kind of crickets are mentioned? This is my life. When the emperor wants to cure Chenxi's crime, he will also do the trick of me, the person who catches crickets!
Liu Jin was forced to take his people to catch crickets.
I don’t know which wall crack to look for when I am in broad daylight. Fortunately, autumn is the season when crickets are in full swing, so it’s not difficult to catch one or two.
Seeing that Zhu Houzhao had a little more anticipation on her little face, Chen Xi was obviously interested in the new things, and said, "The prince and others are here to catch Kuijie. I have a story about Kuijie. I wonder if the prince wants to hear it?"
As the prince, Zhu Houzhao told him stories on weekdays. These stories are basically those circulated among the people, not much fun, and he didn't feel much enjoyable after listening to them. But after all, he didn't know what turbans were, and he was really bored, so he nodded: "You said."
Chen Xi put down the case he prepared last night and didn't even look at it, because the story he was going to tell today has nothing to do with "The Analects of Confucius".
"But it is said that during the reign of Huizong of the Song Dynasty, the palace still had a play of weaving, and it was conquered among the people every year..."
What Chen Xi tells is a story about turbans in Pu Songling's "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". It is just that Chen Xi turns the story from the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty to the Huizong of the Song Dynasty. The content of the story is about a man named Chengming. He accidentally got a treasure turban. Not only was he invincible in the turban, but he could even defeat the rooster. After entering the palace, he won him a beautiful house for harnessing fields.
But the story is full of twists and turns.
After Chengming got Kuiyao, his son hid because he accidentally broke Kuiyao's legs and was afraid of being punished by Kuiyao. After Chengming came back, he found that his son died in a well. After Chengming was sad, his son was resurrected in a dead and was confused and seemed to have lost his soul. It was not until the Kuiyao he offered won him a beautiful house for fertile fields and was not allowed to return to normalcy. The son himself said that his soul had been buried in Kuiyao in recent years, and he turned into Kuiyao fighting with others.
This story can be said to be the pinnacle of short stories in Chinese history. A small story has ups and downs, portraying the sad and happy lives of small people in the market to the fullest. Chen Xi used half-classical Chinese and half-vernacular narrative methods, and the rhythm of storytelling are not rushing or slowing down, making Zhu Houzhao, who was young, obsessed with it. However, it is obvious that Zhu Houzhao's focus on listening to the story is on that magical turban.
After listening to the story, Zhu Houzhao looked unbelievable: "I don't believe it. Can a little bug win the rooster? That big rooster must not eat it in one bite?"
Chen Xi smiled and said, "This may not be the case. If the rooster jumps to the male cap, how can a rooster peck?"
Zhu Houzhao thought about it and nodded, as if he felt that what Chen Xi said was a little reasonable. He asked again: "What did you mean by Huizong? When was the emperor? Was it from my Ming Dynasty?"
Chen Xi smiled and said, "When the prince said, Huizong was the last emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, but he said that the Northern Song Dynasty had a Liao Kingdom in the north. After the two countries fought, the Dingchanyuan alliance..."
What Chen Xi just told was the story of urging, but in a blink of an eye it turned into history.
When Chen Xi talks about history, he will not talk about boring content according to the script, but will directly choose the most exciting part of the history of a dynasty.
When Chen Xi talked about Song Huizong giving up the throne of Qinzong, the last two emperors were captured and headed north together, Zhu Houzhao suddenly touched his head, as if the abducted emperor was him.
Zhu Houzhao's thoughts since childhood were exposed to me, that I was the crown prince, and then the emperor. I have the final say in the world. You are all serving me. If the king wants his ministers to die, his ministers have to die. So I don't have to study hard, just wait for me to become the emperor when I die. Now he realizes that it is not only dangerous to be an emperor, but also a dangerous to be a prince. If foreign enemies invade their lives at any time, they will not be safe.
Zhu Houzhao felt in danger and pointed to Jin Gui next to her: "You said, he wasn't fooling me, right?"
Jin Gui had previously remembered that his hands were numb. Although Chen Xi was not quick, there was too much content and he did not talk about the case in advance for his reference. He had a hammer and a hammer in the east. He was afraid that he would miss something. When he heard Zhu Houzhao's question, Jin Gui replied respectfully: "Your Highness, Huizong abdicated in the seventh year of Xuanhe, and in the second year of Jingkang, the two emperors were deposed and captured and went north..."
Zhu Houzhao's throat moved and swallowed. It was obvious that the story scared him. He waved his hand and told Jin Gui not to continue talking, but Jin Gui didn't care about this. He continued to say what he knew. Until Zhu Houzhao angrily scolded "Shut up", Jin Gui stopped talking.
Chen Xidao: "Does the prince continue to listen?"
Zhu Houzhao said coldly: "You want to tell me, what kind of Huizong is that the country was destroyed because of the scheming of weaving?"
Chen Xi shook his head and said, "I don't have this intention. The prince insists on understanding this way. He refuted without saying a word. However, after the Jingkang Incident, the Song Dynasty did not perish because of this. The ninth prince, King Kang Zhao Gou, proclaimed himself emperor in Lin'an..."
The next story is that the Southern Song Dynasty resisted the Jin Dynasty. Chen Xi intentionally demonstrated the integrity of Yue Fei and others, and made the war one-sided, making Zhu Houzhao think that by the time the Song-Jin War was in the Southern Song Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty had already achieved victory after victory. This was very suitable for his appetite, so he listened with relish.
But when Chen Xi talked about Yue Fei being recalled by thirteen gold medals and being persecuted to death, Zhu Houzhao clenched his fists tightly and slapped the table and said, "This Song Gaozong is not a thing. Yue Fei is obviously a loyal minister, so why should he kill him? Aren't he afraid of being kidnapped by the Jin people like his father?"
Liu Jin had served Zhu Houzhao at some point, and immediately responded to the words: "The prince said, Yue Fei is a hero who is praised by the people for his anti-Jin."
Zhu Houzhao rarely met a soulmate and looked at Liu Jin and said, "Do you think so too? If you want to say... his father got up with Yue Fei early, why did he be kidnapped by himself? That... Shen Zhongyun, do you continue to talk about what happened later? Did Emperor Gaozong of Song also be kidnapped by the Jin people?"
Chen Xi originally came to talk about the "Analects of Confucius" in the Four Books, but it turned out to talk about "History of the Song Dynasty". This was the first time Zhu Houzhao thought that listening to history was so interesting. She had thought about playing with the yellow bird to catch crickets before, but at this time he had no intention of taking care of it, so he wanted to hear Chen Xi finish this history.
Chen Xi continued to tell, but Yue Fei's story has come to an end. He cannot tell the prince history according to the model of "Shuo Yue Quan Biography", because many of the contents in "Shuo Yue" are fictional. To talk, you must tell the official history. In the form of vernacular Chinese, according to historical evolution, many historical facts avoid the important points.
When Wanyan Liang led his troops south and was preparing to "promote millions of troops on West Lake, immediately the first peak of Wushan", Zhu Houzhao's expression became nervous again.
My father is going to be the emperor, so why are there many disasters and difficulties for others to be the emperor?
In order to highlight the story, Chen Xi deliberately set up suspense, describing the strength of the Jin Dynasty's troops and the emptiness of the defense of the Southern Song Dynasty. It seemed that Wanyan Liang could easily trample the land in the south of the Yangtze River and overthrow the Southern Song Dynasty.
But the final result was that the Jin Kingdom encountered obstacles to the south... The Jin people had conflicts and Wanyan Liang died in the chaos.
The story of Chen Xi was told for more than an hour. By lunch time, Zhu Houzhao obviously didn't listen enough. Everything a naughty child did was very popular. The story was so satisfying that he naturally didn't even have to eat. Finally, he asked Chen Xi to tell the history of the Southern Song Dynasty. Lu Xiufu jumped into the sea and died with an eight-year-old emperor on his back. The entire Chinese dynasty was occupied by foreign barbarians. Zhu Houzhao sat there a little sad, as if he was very moved by the ending of this story.
"Your Highness, you have eaten, you can't be hungry." Liu Jin advised from the side.
At this time, Zhu Houzhao was not as terrifying as a naughty child, just like a deep adult, just like Lu Xiufu jumping into the sea with his back as he was himself.
The emperor was not so easy to be. Zhao Bing, the young emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, was at the same age as him, but he jumped into the sea and drowned.
A newly sensible child has an indescribable fear of death. When Zhu Houzhao was eight years old, he finally had a relatively clear understanding of the emperor for the first time.
