Episode 1 During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di had just seized the throne and took charge of the country and country of the Ming Dynasty.
After years of war, many people have been homeless, and displaced people can be seen everywhere near Nanjing.
In order to appease the hearts of the people, Zhu Di ordered officials at all levels to make people's livelihood plans the top priority during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty.
and issued an imperial edict. Three years later, he would seek the stability of various places. If any government does not do well enough and does not win the hearts of the people, he would not only be dismissed from office and seize the official position, but also be imprisoned.
Time passes rapidly, and three years pass quickly.
After Zhu Di corrected the memorial on this day, he accidentally found out the transcripts he published to government officials at all levels three years ago. Only then did he realize that he and officials across the country had an agreement that had not been completed.
So he ordered the guards to select ten good men and follow him to visit the governments in various places in a private manner whether there were new achievements. The first stop was Jiangning County, a county near Nanjing City.
By the time they arrived in Jiangning County, it was almost noon.
Just as he was thinking of asking his servants to find a place to rest quickly, he saw a group of people from afar more than a mile ahead.
"Wang Hu, go and see why there are so many people in front of you?" Zhu Di said.
"Abide by the order." Wang Hu responded.
"Slow down! I've told you how many times, don't call us the emperor, call us Master Zhu, and don't say words such as obeying the orders. We are going out for a private visit. If you leak your words, just go to the inspector to get the board after you return to the palace." Zhu Di called out Wang Hu and others and said dissatisfiedly.
"Damn it, no, I deserve to die, I remember it." Wang Hu said quickly after hearing the emperor's words.
After a while, Wang Hu and others rode back and said, "Master, there are two people playing chess in front of them, and they are surrounded by nearby people. I heard that they can also place bets. They can not only win money, but also win the other party's wife."
"It seems that the officials in Jiangning County are doing pretty well. The people can take a break from their busy schedule and sit down to play chess, which can already explain the problem. But this bet is money It is wrong with the gambling people. Remember, afterwards, we will issue another imperial edict to the governments in various places to prohibit private gambling and gambling people! "
" It seems that we don't need to investigate this stop today. We can directly determine the county magistrate of Jiangning County as qualified."
" Haha, but when you say you play chess, our chess addiction suddenly came. Today we will go and take a look, and by the way, we will also compete with our people for chess skills." Zhu Di said happily.
"Yes."
After saying that, everyone rushed forward.
When the guards tied up their horses, they followed Zhu Di to the crowd.
Zhu Di followed the gaps squeezed out by the guards and got into the crowd.
Only saw two people, one old and one young, fighting back and forth, but the old man was calm, while the young man's forehead was covered with sweat, which was obviously a little difficult.
"Young man, I have never met an opponent in my chess skills for more than 30 years. Today, I see you are also a malleable person. If you join my disciple and become my disciple, even if you lose in this game, I don't want your money. How about you?" The old man looked at the young man and said with a smile.
"Old man, don't underestimate others. I still have a lot of skills that have not been used. If you wait for me to think about it, maybe I can win this game." The young man glanced at the old man and said dissatisfiedly.
"Haha, okay! OK! I like the young people's youthful and energetic appearance. This is the courage that young people should have." As he said that, the old man lost another piece and ate several chess pieces of the young people.
"Young man, do you know who you are playing chess with? This Mr. Dong has been passed down by Jiangnan chess saint Wang Zicong. If you can win him, I will give you the money you lost today." Seeing that the old man suddenly ate several flags of the young man, he couldn't help but say.
"Oh? It turns out that the gentleman is Mr. Dong, who is famous nearby!"
"Oh, I said, why did I lose several children in succession today? It turned out that I met Mr. Dong."
Hearing the words of the old man in white robe next to him, the young man stood up and bowed to the old man opposite him.
"Young people don't be polite. I have already said that I like your personality and chess style very much." The old man stood up and said with politeness when he saw the young people being rude.
"You haven't lost too many advantages yet. Can you and me finish this game intact? Winning and losing are nothing, you have to play chess happily." Mr. Dong said again.
"Okay, listen to Mr. Dong, then you'll be ugly." The young man said and sat down, holding Bai Zi and starting to think about the next step of the chess.
"Young man, no matter how winning or losing, you should thank this Mr. Dong very well. The old man is not only teaching you chess skills, but also teaching you the principles of life. This move is not the relationship between disciples and mentors, and no one is so attentive." Listening to the conversation between the two, especially when he heard what Mr. Dong said and saw him looking at the young man, he couldn't help but say to the young man.
"Haha, this friend is in love, and I have also become aware of loving talents. This boy has a good foundation. I not only want to accept him as a disciple, but also want to inform him of his years of experience of reading people." Hearing Zhu Di say this, Mr. Dong also bowed to Zhu Di and said.
"We just told the truth, sir, don't be polite." Zhu Di replied with a smile.
Another quarter of an hour passed, and the final match between the two ended with the young man losing.
Just as Zhu Di wanted to make up for the position and came to the previous game with Mr. Dong, he suddenly heard someone say, "Come on, let me go! Our magistrate is here!"
A group of people turned around and saw four yamen runners protecting a county magistrate and walked in.
When everyone saw that it was the county magistrate Liu Zicong who came here, the originally lively scene suddenly disappeared.
"I said to you, I just finished the business today, and I came a little late."
"It seems that you have just finished a game, so you can lose. I play with him."
"It's still the same rule. Those who have money pay, and those who don't have money can also pay for their own wife. I like both of them."
said, and the county magistrate Liu Zicong sat in the position of the young man.
"Grandmaster, I have played several games today, and I have met a young man who appreciates me again. I will give it to someone else in this game, and I will say goodbye." Mr. Dong saw this and immediately said to the county master.
"What does it mean? I don't give my grandfather my face? You left as soon as I came. Are you unable to afford to lose, or are you not good at chess skills?" Hearing Mr. Dong say this, the county grandfather immediately became angry.
"The great master misunderstood. I'm really tired. Besides, no one knows the great master's chess skills. I won't be ugly in front of the great master." Mr. Dong answered in horror when he saw the county magistrate getting angry.
"Fuck! I think you are just dishonest! Your Dong Mo's chess skills can be regarded as a name for you. I dare not say that your chess skills are smaller than your chess skills." The county tyrant continued.
"That's it! You old guy, when the great master is away on weekdays, we brothers have made you win a lot of money. Today, my great master is here, and you say that you are not good at chess skills. You just don't give me face!" A yamen runner who followed him said with a glaring face.
"This can only be said that the little old man won the brothers by chance. Otherwise, the little old man would take it out and win you all the silver and give it to you?" Mr. Dong had to say this when he saw that he had no choice but to say it.
"Who do you look down on me? Brothers are not the ones you can't afford to lose. Today you can play chess with the great master honestly, otherwise you can just wait to go back to the yamen to sue!" The yamen runner said unforgivable.
"Okay, then I will play with the great master in one game, and I will bet ten taels of silver, can I?" Mr. Dong saw that he couldn't refuse, so he had to agree to the previous game.
"Hahahaha, that's right. The great man is not an unreasonable person."
"It's just that I don't want money in this game. I heard that Mr. Dong just took a concubine recently. He is 28 years old. I want you to place a bet with this. But don't worry, I won't bully you. If you beat me, I will give you the concubine I just married. Do you think?" The county magistrate grabbed Mr. Dong's hand and said with a smile.
"This, the little old man really can't agree, great-grandson! The little old man married a concubine to be able to give birth to a son for his family, and to have a family that has passed on his family. It's not the little old man's simple lustful grandson."
"Besides, the insider is already pregnant, how can he be a bet on the chess game?" Mr. Dong waved his hands repeatedly and said unwillingly.
"Liu Si, since this Mr. Dong is unreasonable and cannot understand the great master's words, you four brothers will take Mr. Dong down to wake up your mind!" After hearing this, the county magistrate suddenly looked a little dissatisfied and turned to the yamen runners and said.
"Okay! Mr. Dong, please come here!" As he said that, Liu Si was about to pull someone out and beat him up.
"Oh, great-grandson, great-grandson, great-grandson. The little old man will never dare to play chess here again. In the future, I just hope that the great-grandson can forgive me!" Mr. Dong was frightened and panicked when he saw it.
Eyes looked at the county magistrate, closed his eyes, stopped asking, and followed the yamen runners to drag Mr. Dong out.
"Grandmaster, please forgive Mr. Dong. Xiaoke can accompany the county magistrate to the next round!" At this moment, the young man just now came up and knelt down and asked.
"Hmm? What are you? Do you think you have a beautiful and beautiful girl?"
"Haha, if you also have a beautiful beauty, the great man can put this old thing on his behalf and promise you to bet on this game instead of the big bet." The county magistrate said with a lewd smile when he saw the young man.
"Xiao Ke's Fang Ziqi disappointed the great master. Xiao Ke's family is poor. Today, I saw everyone playing chess. I couldn't help it for a while, so I played a game here." The young man continued to answer.
"What? You guy, I'm playing with the great man!" When he heard the young man say this, he kicked him out.
"Aiya!" Fang Ziqi was kicked, and the pain from his body made him unable to help but make a sound.
"Pull them out for me and relax them. I see that they are full and I'm over. I'm here to play the great master." The county magistrate said to the yamen runners.
"Slow down!" Zhu Di couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help saying.
"Hi! It's strange today. Why are so many people full and supported!"
"Who are you? If you don't have a beautiful girl, you're also playing tricks on me. I'll feed your head to the turtle today!" The county magistrate stood up angrily, pointing at Zhu Di and cursing.
"You..." Wang Hu saw that the county magistrate dared to scold Zhu Di, and immediately went forward to take down the county magistrate.
"Get off." Zhu Di grabbed Wang Hu and winked at him.
"We have so many beautiful girls here, I'm afraid you don't have the ability to take her away." Zhu Di said and sat in Mr. Dong's seat.
"Haha! Since I set this rule of gambling with beauty, I have never lost. Those who lose beauty have never dared to cheat."
"Since you have the courage to bet on a game with the great master, let me try your level." As he said that, the county magistrate sat down.
Everyone saw that the two were about to start playing chess. Both of them bet on their own beautiful ladies. No one spoke for a while, and they all watched nervously and excitedly.
No need to mention Zhu Di's chess skills. When he was the King of Yan, when there was no war to fight, he often discussed chess skills with his staff in the mansion.
Since he started his army, he has vowed that he will never drink, play chess, or be close to women.
, although I haven’t played chess for several years, now my level is still very high.
In contrast, this county magistrate has good chess skills.
Zhu Di muttered in his heart while playing chess: "If you win today's game, we can only remove you from your official position. If you lose, we don't want your beautiful lady, but your head on your neck!" After the magistrate of the county left a son, he saw Zhu Di staring at him.
He smiled and muttered in his heart: "If I win this game today, I will decide on the beauty; if you lose this game, then stay here forever with the master. The master will find you a good Feng Shui treasure land to bury you."
Slowly, about half an hour has passed since the first piece was dropped.
chess board is also covered with black and white chess pieces.
Zhu Di holds a black son, and the county magistrate holds a white son.
From the beginning, the black piece fell more than ten pieces. When the white piece was about to be eaten halfway by the white piece, Zhu Di suddenly fell a black piece behind and ate more than ten white pieces from the other party.
Bai Zi's situation suddenly plummeted. Anyone who knows chess understands that it will be sooner or later for Bai Zi to lose.
"Young master is good chess!" Mr. Dong couldn't help but praise Zhu Di as he looked at the chess game.
While speaking, the county magistrate also saw his own situation. According to his level, this game is an irreversible situation.
Suddenly heard what Mr. Dong said, and he suddenly became angry again!
"Damn it! I see you, an old guy, are looking for death!" The county magistrate was not ready to play chess anymore and threw the chess piece on Mr. Dong's face.
said, and he was about to punch Mr. Dong in the face.
At this moment, Zhu Di grabbed the county magistrate's arm and immediately stopped in mid-air.
"What are you doing! Do you want to attack me too?" The county magistrate saw Zhu Di grabbing him, and immediately passed on his anger to Zhu Di.
"Why are you still standing there? Come up and help me quickly and take all three of them back to the great master. I want to eat human flesh and drink human blood today!" the county great master shouted wildly.
At this moment, another group of yamen runners came.
"Grandmaster, I have brought all our brothers. Just give me what I want!" Liu Si ran over and said.
It turned out that he saw more than ten people following Zhu Di from the beginning. He was afraid that the great master would be wronged after losing, so he started to fight and could not beat more than ten people, so he secretly returned to the yamen and brought all the yamen runners and soldiers from the yamen.
For a moment, dust flew, and more than a hundred people surrounded the scene.
When the people present saw this, they were so frightened that they gathered together and did not dare to make any noise.
Just as Zhu Di’s guards were about to resist, a group of people suddenly came from a distance.
"My Master, it is Mr. Wu from the Ministry of War who brought people here. We are fine." Wang Hu looked away and said to Zhu Di in a low voice.
at the end:
Seeing that the imperial guards from the distance were actually the imperial guards of the palace, the yamen runners and soldiers present suddenly showed a surprised expression. The leader of the
came to the front and back, jumped off the horse, came to Zhu Di with a quick step, kowtowed and said, "My dear Wu Tianqi came late to rescue him, please punish the emperor!"
"Shilarious Minister Wu, you are here just right. If you want to come half a moment later, I will become the captive of this county magistrate!" Zhu Di looked at Shilar Wu and said with a smile.
"What? You are the emperor!" When the county magistrate heard the words of Mr. Wu, he was so scared that he squatted on the ground.
"What are you waiting for? These people have desecrated the emperor's power and insulted the emperor. They have not taken them all down!" At this moment, Wang Hu took a step forward and said to the general leading the army behind.
In an instant, more than 100 people were arrested by the Imperial Guards, including the county magistrate sitting on the ground, and they were also lifted up.
"So you will be afraid too, great-grand!" Zhu Di teased at Liu Zicong.
"Oh my God, of course the guilty minister is afraid, the emperor. You are the lord of the nineteenth century. Why don't you tell me the guilty minister when you are here?" Liu Zicong begged and begged for forgiveness.
"If I revealed my identity from the beginning, do you still dare to play games with me? How can I see how the officials of my Ming Dynasty bully the people and harm the country and the people? Huh?" Zhu Di looked at Liu Zicong in disgust and said.
"Your Majesty, please spare me, Your Majesty, I know that I am wrong, I will never dare to do it again!" Liu Zicong said crying.
"Although you and I haven't finished this game, anyone who knows the game can understand. I won this game, right?" Zhu Di asked
"Yes, the emperor is right. You won this game. The guilty minister immediately sent someone to the emperor. This beauty has not yet enjoyed it, but he just married him." Liu Zicong said flatteringly.
"Who do you think of me as! I am rich in a country, how can I be greedy for the beauty you say!"
"Fang Ziqi, you just said that you have not married yet, so I will make the decision and give the beauty I have won to you as a wife. Are you willing? I just said this dog guy, that girl is still a perfect person and will not insult you, a young man." Zhu Di said as he turned his head and said to Fang Ziqi.
"Ah? Me, I..." Fang Ziqi stuttered a little for a moment.
"What do I do? Why don't you thank the emperor for your kindness! This is the emperor personally granting you marriage, but it's a great honor and blessing! Silly boy!" Mr. Dong saw that Fang Ziqi could not speak, and in a hurry, he grabbed Fang Ziqi.
"Mr. Dong is right. I just watched you play chess with Mr. Dong. You can know that you are also a kind-hearted person. This can be regarded as my marriage to you." Zhu Di glanced at Mr. Dong and said with a smile.
"Xiaomin thanked the emperor for his kindness and thanked the emperor for his marriage." Fang Ziqi came to his senses when he heard what the two said.
"Transfer an order to take Liu Zicong back to the capital, hand it over to the Inspectorate for strict interrogation, and list his actions as official documents, and send them to the government offices of various states. I want him to become the benchmark for punishment for my three-year agreement, so that officials from all over the country know that if anyone commits the same crime as Liu Zicong again, I will not keep any of them and execute them all!" Zhu Di turned around and said to Mr. Wu.
"I received the order, and I will escort a group of people back to Beijing and ask the six departments of the Inspectorate to hear the case." Wu Shilang replied.
"Friends, after I arrived here today, I watched you play chess here. I was itchy for a while and I also participated in the chess game."
"At first, I thought that after three years of recovery, the people finally lived a peaceful and happy life. I also rewarded the local officials in my heart."
"But unexpectedly, I actually took a look, blinding these dogs."
"Play chess, play chess; this chess game is really like a person's life. I lost when I lost chess. , the chess is majestic when you win. Living a hard life is painful, and living a peaceful life is free and easy. But without experiencing the torture of painful life, how can you cherish the beautiful life in front of you! "
" Chess is like life, life is like chess! I hereby swear to build my Ming more powerful so that the people can live a better life! I am willing to devote my life to the people of this world. Are you willing to work with me to build a stronger and rich Daming mountains and rivers? "Zhu Di said, raising his right hand and shouting to the people.
"Minist/The common people are willing to go through fire and water for the Ming Dynasty, and they are willing to go through fire and water!" Everyone knelt down and replied.
