Chapter 1 Zhuang Zhou dreams of being Hu Die

In the past, Zhuang Zhou dreamed of being a Hu butterfly, and he was a lifelike butterfly. He was a self-reported person and said that he was willing to be with him! He didn’t know Zhou. He suddenly realized that he was a Hu butterfly. He didn’t know that Zhou dreamed of being a Hu butterfly and? The Hu butterfly dreamed of being a Zhou and? Zhou and Hu butterfly would have a distinction. This is called material transformation.”——Selected from [Zhuangzi] "Inner Chapter - The Second Theory of Qi Things"

Chen Xing stood at the door of 411, looked inside, and saw his mentor Ouyang Ming sitting in front of his desk fiddling with his laptop. So he shrank his head back, took a deep breath, knocked on the door lightly, walked straight in, and said to Ouyang:

"Teacher Ouyang, I did almost the experiment you assigned to me last time."

Ouyang Ming raised his head and glanced at Chen Xing's face. Seeing Chen Xing's expression of desire and stopping, he smiled and said, "It's not bad. I'll finish the task I assigned so quickly. In a few days, the laboratory will come with some new instruments. It was the last time I agreed to order. You can go back and find information on this aspect, so you can get started as soon as possible. Is there anything else?"

Chen Xing thought for a while and said, "Teacher Ouyang, did you say that you were talking about direct blogging last time and asked me to go back and think about it. I went back these days and thought about it, and called my family to discuss it. They all agreed with me." After saying that, his eyes were staring at Ouyang Ming.

Unexpectedly, Ouyang Ming suddenly stood up, his face was ferocious, and shouted at Chen Xing: "You think of the emperor, you dream, you are like your waste father and your waste ancestors, you are all wastes. Look at how the good Ming Dynasty has been ruined by you. What a pity... It's a pity... It's a pity... It's a pity that the Ming Dynasty has been destroyed in the hands of you prodigal sons." After that, he rushed over and grabbed Chen Xing's neck, shouting loudly: "You prodigal sons, you prodigal sons..."

Chen Xing wanted to push away the hand that was choking his neck, but when he raised his hand, he felt that there was no strength in his hand, so he could only wave it randomly. After a while, he felt that the black eyes were in his eyes and he knew nothing.

On July 21, 1620, the Ming Dynasty's longest-lasting emperor, Ming Shenzong, passed away. The one who inherited the throne was his eldest son Zhu Changluo, the Ming Guangzong. Guangzong was exactly the opposite of his father Shenzong. He reigned for the shortest time. He ascended the throne on the first day of August and collapsed on the first day of September.

Zhu Youxiao sat up suddenly, felt a strong chest tightness, gasped for a few breaths, and whispered: "It turned out to be a dream, it turned out to be a dream." He couldn't help but feel relaxed. The dream just now was so long and so real. The fragments formed a complete story. The protagonist in the story was a person named Chen Xing, and the story was also in a strange era. Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao felt chest tightness again, and his mind seemed to be stuffed with a ball of cotton, and he was confused and clueless. He looked up and glanced around, and looked at the various items in the house as usual, and couldn't help but feel wider. But when he saw that it was still dark outside the window, he knew it was still early, so he shouted loudly: "Come here!"

After a while, a middle-aged eunuch came in and lit up the lights in the house. Seeing Zhu Youxiao sitting on the bed, he immediately knelt in front of the bed and said in a panic: "Your Highness, do you have anything to order your servant?"

Zhu Youxiao realized that the nightmare he had just had already made him sweat profusely, so he said, "I don't want to sleep anymore, prepare my highness for my bath."

The middle-aged eunuch responded and retreated. Zhu Youxiao watched the eunuch twist and twist away. When he recalled his sharp voice just now, two words suddenly popped out of his mind. The shemale man couldn't help laughing. At this time, Zhu Youxiao did not realize that the word shemale man was not something of this era. As a prince born in the royal family, eunuchs were so ordinary and normal to them, just like men and women, who existed as soon as they were born.

When the history rolled into the 17th century AD, the Ming Empire, founded by Zhu Yuanzhang, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, had reached its end after more than two hundred years of ups and downs. The supreme ruler, the emperor, lived in the ninth level and ignored the government; the emperor's slaves, officials, divided the doors and founded the power and profits; the emperor's people, the people.

The taxes are heavy and the labor is complicated, and the complaints are ruling. From top to bottom, from inside to outside, there are crises, conflicts are everywhere, and the rivers are falling. The country's politics, economy, and military are in chaos in all directions. Before the disaster is eliminated, civil unrest in various places are revived; natural disasters are rampant; the power of the Later Jin outside the pass is booming, and the Central Plains is always on the rise. There is no day in the entire land of China.

Zhu Youxiao, Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty, was born on November 14th in the 33rd year of Wanli (1605). He was a famous carpenter emperor in history. He was in this chaotic era, so unfortunate for the people. But what was the situation for this foolish carpenter emperor?

He was the eldest grandson of Zhu Yijun, the Emperor Shenzong of Ming Dynasty, but he never received the honor of the Emperor Changsun. Zhu Changluo, the Emperor Guangzong of Ming Dynasty, was the son of the Duren (the son of the Duren is the prince born to the emperor and the palace maids. The Empress of the Emperor Shenzong could not give birth to children. The mother of the Emperor Shenzong, Empress Li, was eager to be grandson in order to pass on the Zhu family dynasty. Coincidentally, there was a palace maid named Wang who had been serving her in Cining since she was a child. After Wang grew up, he had a beautiful face and charming appearance. He was diligent in his hands and feet, and never talked much. Empress Dowager Li liked her very much. In the early winter of the ninth year of Wanli (1581), one afternoon, the weather was very cool. When Emperor Shenzong of Ming Dynasty woke up, his spirit increased and he was extremely excited. He had no intention of dealing with state affairs and did not want to read and write.

He put on his clothes randomly and ran outside to play. When he passed by Cining, he was in a hurry to get his heart out of his mind. He was very excited and went straight into the officialdom. It was a coincidence that Empress Dowager Li went out to chat that day, and only Wang entered the palace. When Wang saw the emperor coming in, he hurriedly got up to pay his respects. Ming Shenzong had always been lustful. Seeing Wang's graceful and beautiful, he suddenly felt lust. Sometimes his feelings were like a volcano, and once it erupted, it was difficult to stop it. Although Shenzong knew that Wang was a palace maid with a low status, he was too charming. Ming Shenzong was unable to get tired of desire, so he immediately ordered his left and right to disperse and summon Wang into the inner room. He was so happy that Wang became pregnant with the emperor's flesh and blood.)

Guangzong was never liked by Shenzong. Shenzong only favored Concubine Zheng. Concubine Zheng had a third son Zhu Changxun. Shenzong liked it very much. Because the crown prince was still treated like this, Shenzong hated the house and the house. Emperor Xizong Zhu Youxiao, the son of Guangzong, was not liked by Shenzong. The feudal royal court was a very cruel environment. The emperor had the power of life and death. If the emperor liked it, it would be extremely wealthy. If the emperor disliked it, you would live worse than life and death. Zhu Youxiao lived in such a depressing environment. His father was not favored and was worried all day long. He was afraid and frightened. He would definitely not be able to enjoy the glory and wealth that the crown prince should have;

He was the eldest son of Ming Guangzong Zhu Changluo, but he never got the prestige of the crown prince. After Guangzong ascended the throne, Zhu You, who was originally the eldest grandson of the emperor, should have received a high salary and was named the crown prince. However, Ming Guangzong also delayed and perfunctorily on the issue of enthroning the crown prince like Shenzong. In the end, under the pressure of the ministers, he decided to enthrone the Eastern Palace on the ninth day of September 1620. However, fate made another joke. Before the ninth day of September 19, the weak body of the "Zen Month" Guangzong could no longer wait for the day of the ninth day of the ninth day of the ninth day of the ninth day of the ninth day of the ninth day of the ninth day of the ninth month of Guangzong's excessive indulgence could not wait.

On that day, the first flight collapsed on the first day of September. At that time, Zhu Youxiao, except for the emperor's book and the court officials, who changed from the emperor's eldest grandson to the eldest son and wore mourning clothes, had no other changes. He was still "famous and titles", with bare heads and no pearly hat; he was still "teaching Yu's last journey", his belly was empty, and he had not drunk half a drop of ink. It was even more sad than his father's situation back then. Among the emperor's eldest grandson and eldest son of the Ming Dynasty, it was unprecedented;

He was a dignified royal family, but he never got the opportunity to leave the palace to study. He delayed the Emperor's Changsun Shenzong. When Guangzong was still in a hurry to ascend the throne before he could ascend the throne. When he ascended the throne, he was still an illiterate "will not know a word".

Not only that, on the eve of his official ascension, this ignorant young man had no power or prestige in the court. Everyone just regarded him as the cornerstone of his rights, and was forced to escape from the Qianqing Palace and live a life of panic and refuge.

The grievances and grievances in the palace, political depression, and the prosperity of the royal children in their lives made him lose his balance and formed a deformed strange pattern. From childhood to adulthood, he had a weird temperament, only knows how to play and does not care about the government. What he tried his best to pursue throughout his life was just the primary fun of life.

Either climb big trees and dig bird's nests every day, go into the cave to play hide-and-seek, or raise cats, catch grasshoppers, and fight roosters;

Either they ride dogs and horses, or they are forced to have fun, or they are skating, rowing, or shooting water and waves;

Either you can enjoy flowers and grass everywhere, watch lantern festivals, climb mountains and watch scenery, or make mechanisms, and do puppet games. Until you disguise yourself and dress up and apply makeup on your face regardless of your identity and status.

He acted on stage with the eunuchs in the officialdom, and hang out with actors, singers, and maki all night long. He never cared about state affairs or family affairs.

However, Zhu Youxiao is different from those so-called "true dragon emperors" who are not divided into grains, do not diligent in four bodies, and have food and clothes. They are purely worms that corrupt society. He is a strange man. In politics, he is extremely weak and incompetent, and can be said to be a big fool who is incompetent in governing the country. In terms of work skills, he is an "expert" and a skilled craftsman. He has learned his own abilities, clay, tiles, and carpenters, and is proficient in everything. He can build houses, make high-end furniture, carving, and paint, and can be regarded as an artist who is "skilled and craftsman". In the society at that time, it seemed that he did not completely lose the value of his existence. At this point, it was probably incomparable to any feudal emperor.

All of this is closely related to the era, environment, the grievances and grievances in the late Ming court, and the eccentric character formed therefrom.

These are all history. If there are no variables, history will move in the direction of the past. The Ming Dynasty will be destroyed in the next few decades, and the cavalry of the Qing Dynasty will surely step onto the land of China. In another 300 years, the Eight-Nation Alliance will ravage China again and the Japanese pirates will rampantly spread to the land of China. However, since Zhu Youxiao had this dream, since the moment Zhu Youxiao woke up from his dream, Zhu Youxiao was no longer the former Zhu Youxiao. The Ming Dynasty was still the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty could not be the Ming Dynasty in the future.

Zhu Youxiao stood quietly in the garden outside the house. He saw a ray of light on the distant horizon. He suddenly felt his heart beating faster, more than twice as fast as usual. There was a buzzing sound in his ears, a stiff body, and the scenery in his eyes seemed to be thrown into the water surface of a stone.

"Ah." Zhu Youxiao screamed. His body, which was still stiff, suddenly loosened and fell to the ground. There was a very mysterious feeling in his mind. There was a story about Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly. One day, Zhuang Zhou dreamed that he was a butterfly dancing among the flowers. He was very beautiful. When Zhuang Zhou woke up, Zhuang Zhou suddenly had an idea. I wonder if it was Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly, or the butterfly dreaming of Zhuang Zhou? Is the butterfly appearing in Zhuang Zhou's dream, or Zhuang Zhou's dream?

Just a moment ago, he always thought that he was just Zhu Youxiao, and that Chen Xing in the dream was just in the dream. At this moment, he suddenly felt that he was Chen Xing, and Zhu Youxiao. Chen Xing and Zhu Youxiao were just two different identities for him, two different identities used in different occasions. Just like a person in reality, he is a person, he has his own name, parents, friends and various interpersonal relationships. However, if this person has his own online name, his own netizens, and his own network relationship on the Internet. He is the same person, but he just has two different identities.

At this moment, Zhu Youxiao has memories of two different eras. Of course, for Zhu Youxiao, the 15-year palace life was so pitiful, sad, and lamentable. How boring and boring. In Chen Xing's 20 years of life, there were phones, TV, movies, computers, football, basketball, cars, ships, airplanes, the earth and the universe. What a colorful society that was, Chen Xing was just an ordinary member of that society, and he could enjoy so many things. Zhu Youxiaoyi

A dignified Ming prince lived high at the top of the pyramid of the Ming Dynasty, but his life was so poor. Chen Xing started studying at the age of 5 and studied for 17 years. He was already a middle class of intellectuals at that time. At this time, Zhu Youxiao was an illiterate illiterate. The knowledge Chen Xing had was so huge, but Zhu Youxiao's knowledge was so small. Everything determines that Zhu Youxiao, who was a freshman, would be a Zhu Youxiao with Chen Xing as the main body.

Although the new Zhu Youxiao is mainly Chen Xing, this does not hinder Zhu Youxiao's behavior in this era. It is like a big man who turns his hands into clouds and turns into rain on the Internet. He is usually just an ordinary person.

Zhu Youxiao sat on the ground and thought quietly: "Did I cross time and space and return to the Ming Dynasty? No, why do I feel that I am very familiar with this place? Unlike the protagonists in the past novels, in ancient times, I still think that the ancients I saw were actors who were afraid of TV series. Moreover, I asked people everywhere to ask what dynasty it is now, and finally I lied to say that I was a Chinese son and daughter who were chaotic overseas. After going through so many hardships from the distant West to return to the motherland to find their roots and ask for their ancestors, and they also tried every means to make up a legal identity for themselves."

"As soon as I appeared, I was the eldest grandson of the emperor, haha, according to my memory, I will be enthroned by the crown prince of the Eastern Palace on the ninth day of the ninth month. I was instantly alone and above 100 million people. Unfortunately, Chen Xing studied bad majors, which had nothing to do with history. He usually went to bed in history classes. In addition to watching a few whip shows and having some understanding of the Qing Dynasty, he also knew several great figures of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang (I must know, or I guess I wouldn't be able to graduate from junior high school, so I know more about Zhu, because Zhu and Chen Youliang competed for the country. Unfortunately, Chen Youliang was my ancestor, and there were records in this regard in our family's genealogy.)

Yuan Chonghuan (This is a great hero, I don’t know if he is still a Chinese. To be honest, I didn’t know much about the Ming Dynasty before. If I hadn’t read so many fictional historical novels on the Internet, I would have known many historical figures slowly). Just a little bit of historical knowledge, how could I know that that is a loyal minister and that is a treacherous minister! But that historical idiot still knows a treacherous minister, that is Wei Zhongxian, the world’s number one eunuch. You should be careful in the future, but I can’t remember that there is a figure like Wei Zhongxian in the palace. It may not have appeared yet. Anyway, eunuchs with the surname Wei must pay attention to it in the future. Hehe, this is how you make trouble."

At this moment, the middle-aged eunuch ran over and saw Zhu Youxiao sitting on the ground. He quickly stepped forward and helped Zhu Youxiao up. He said in panic: "Your Highness, why are you sitting on the ground? The weather is cool now. What if you suffer from a cold and hurt your body? What should I do if Grandma Li blames you, how can I take responsibility?" As she said that, tears even came out.

Zhu Youxiao knew why the eunuch cried. Grandma Li was the favorite of his father Guangzong (the concubines who had no titles in the Ming Dynasty were called Xuanshi. It was less than a month after Guangzong succeeded to the throne. It was impossible for the old emperor to be enthroned and the imperial concubine as soon as he died). Shenzong did not like Guangzong when he was in power, but as his father, he tried his best to meet the needs of Guangzong. Guangzong loved women, so Shenzong chose 8 beautiful women for Guangzong. Among them, the one who was the one with the surname Li, one lived in the east of the palace and the other living in the west, commonly known as Dongxi Li

Among them, Xili was even more favored. The so-called Grandma Li refers to Xili. Xili relied on Guangzong's favor and was rampant in the palace, and no one dared to provoke him. Zhu Youzhao's biological mother Wang died for two years, and Guangzong entrusted Zhu Youzhao to take care of Xili. Xili chose some honest and honest eunuchs to serve Zhu Youzhao. Xili knew that Zhu Youzhao would inherit the throne, so he showed a motherly face to Zhu Youzhao. He had very strict requirements on the eunuchs who served him. Whenever there was a poor care, he would take him to beat the board. Therefore, the eunuchs were trembling, fearing that they would come out and get beaten.

Zhu Youxiao knew the reason, so he didn't bother him and asked directly: "Are you ready for the bath?" Zhu Youxiao saw that it was already dawn, thinking that his father was seriously ill in recent days and his health was getting worse. These princes and concubines had to visit the Qianqing Palace every day. After a moment, he passed, so he added: "Go and prepare some breakfast, and have to have a meal earlier after the shower."

The eunuch responded again and stepped back.

Zhu Youxiao looked into the distance. A trace of red light appeared from the horizon, and a red sun was rising slowly. Thinking of the knowledge in his heart, he secretly decided to be a wise king who will be remembered forever.
