Chongzhen became suspicious. He said to his courtiers, "Father Wu is playing with his face and wants to ask Father Chu for help. He said,' If the people are trapped in the fire for a long time, they will not be able to apply. If they are allowed to lead the way, the people will be inferior to their ears.' Allow it. And sparse into, stay, cover also don't want to return to liegeman. "Jun Chen Langong, it's ridiculous. Sometimes Chongzhen's paranoia has even developed to a morbid level, and even Tian Guifei, who loves him, is suspicious: "I heard that Guifei stole the piano in the palace a few days ago, and I became suspicious. I asked who the tutor was, and the imperial concubine was right. The next day, he called his mother and fought with the princess, only to be relieved. "During the Chongzhen period, there were frequent internal and external troubles, and there was often a lack of money. On one occasion, in order to raise wages, "the DPRK proposed to borrow private rent for one year because of the national economic downturn, so there was a lot of complaints, calling Chongzhen a re-levy. "You Hai Feng Gang called Jiajing a clean home, which means that the furniture is clean." "I'm worried that the country won't use it. The Liaoshen stored in Wanli is also requisitioned when it goes out for trading, and its color is firm and its taste is lasting, which is quite different from other ginseng. However, Wu Changshi has the most markets, and they all take the top. As soon as I heard about this transaction, I got tens of thousands of gold. " When the national situation declined, the Ming Dynasty was in jeopardy. However, the more such an era, the darker the politics of the imperial court. Especially the spy politics of factory guards. In this regard, there are many records in Sanyuan's notes: "When I first entered prison, I heard that Dongchang was the most wronged. If every factory worker is stolen, he will be poisoned by five poisons and climb by choosing fertilizer. Once used up, it will be filled and then presented to the factory. The factory is full of words. It took less than four days to write the manuscript, less than ten days to make it like this, and less than four days to be executed by officials. Five thieves went to the fair and said sadly,' I have never been a thief. How can I be falsely accused of being a thief?' One day, I was interviewed by an official of the Ministry of Punishment, rehabilitated him and persuaded him to retreat, and said sadly,' I dare not. Yu Yue: "Why? Right:' There are officials who refuse to take anything, and there is no official who refuses to take anything. If one day you turn over the factory and borrow the name of Luo Zhi, those officials will all die. Doing disaster for a while is nothing more than this. "Ignoring human life is really outrageous. Then he said, "I sent my eyes and ears to the Royal Guards, and called in my advisers, asking them to take foreign affairs to inquire about this matter. Wu Jinwu, a Meng Mingren, is slow to harm others, but greedy for bribes, especially his son Bangfu. Every time a state or county's gift list is seized, its name will be revealed and bribes will be demanded along the door. In Dongchangchang, a magistrate of a county sent 24 taels of silver to ask editor Hu to write an article on self-restraint. Hu hasn't received it yet, and he also asked for thousands of dollars. At this time, all the scholars stood up. "
Then he said, "Tanaka is only good at killing, and the improper test is corrected by Lin Shicong. Rumor has it that only Jia Sutong, so I got the manuscript first to distinguish it. Later, Shi Cong corrected it, and he was responsible for Shenshu's indistinguishability, playing back as ordered, but there was no response, and only four servants were sent to Zhen Fu. At one time, the official department paid a heavy bribe, and all of them were transported into Jinli at night. People in the official department have empty pockets and heavy brocade. " Although funny, it has profound historical connotation: dark politics is often associated with the corruption and decline of rulers. Water under the bridge. How can the Ming Dynasty not perish? The Ming court was so chaotic that the army was not much better. Officers and men are also increasingly corrupt, which indicates that the day of national subjugation is not far away. There is such a passage in "Three Principles Notes": "It is forbidden to circulate banknotes when telling the time, so I am ignorant of the soldiers. Hearing that all the nine gates were closed, Liu Fuyu rode on his horse and looked at the soldiers in the inner and outer cities. It is determined to be fully armed and the roads are staggered. There are 50 people holding axes and sticks in each door, but the sticks are all willows, which are extremely useless. There are 10 soldiers in each lane, sitting, lying down and holding machinery. The city gate was opened several times. When the dust covers the sky, there are cars, mules and donkeys carrying women, old and young, and their faces look like people who have lost all their gold paint. Asked Yun,' I heard that the northern soldiers were coming, so I avoided entering the city.' "The enemy is coming, and the defenders in the city are still at leisure, which is really worrying.
There are many such stories: "Yang Sima Changsi played a clever game, from one to dozens, with endless ropes. People laughed at him and hit the thief with their mouths. Zeng, who was in charge of state affairs, should be replaced by a soldier, so he followed his wisdom and entered the north, but it was sparse that day. The day before, he called and said,' You are a military subject, and you are very strict in fighting and defending. Breaking the law is a crime. Just talk about it. Why is it redundant on the same day?' You should retreat in shame. "It should be a cartoon of a smooth official.
"Lu Xiang opened in Deshengmen, and was outnumbered. He repeatedly attacked the enemy Li Jiaqiao at night, so far there is no lead, and it is suspected that the Beijing soldiers are lost. Cao Huachun, the supervisor of Li Si, was stationed on the rostrum. There were several well-informed visitors who wanted to reward a gold ingot for the Ministry's review. The first Ministry of War in the west has a wide face and short ears, and most of the people in the east are from Liaoyang, which is no different from China. Soldiers kill good people. Remove the marks on the net towel with wet sandals, steam its head to make it swell, and as the enemy's head, reward it without hurting the enemy. "
"The northern soldiers burned the palace in the first month and drove the trench north. When it comes to the enemy carrying things, we must pay more attention. There is no meaning of death, which is conducive to inviting attacks. However, if you are self-sufficient, you dare not chase you. What happened? Strictly speaking, there was no vertical exit. Yang Fujun took the military uniform, raised the flag and set up the mouth to command and break the enemy. Unable to patrol, the enemy found the ground guarded by Sun Maolin, the minister in prison. It is said that Sun and his men were paid heavily, each with five taels of silver, just to let them escape without firing a shot. What are the fears of husbands and enemies? It's a bribe, and soldiers dare not hit their ears. Kill the enemy after Maolin and smash Deng Xi. "
"For the punishment wall, I saw that the road was sparse for four days and the ticket was changed for six days. This time it was different, or a few months, or half a year. What is particularly different is that the Governor either asks for a salary or makes up an official position, all of which are in the Cabinet. The northern soldiers have been retired for half a year, and the border officials who are anxious and constantly spreading news think that the northern soldiers will come again. " Treat the military situation as a joke. The book also describes a large number of cases in which the party fought for the wrong country, officials' misdeeds and officials' intrigue at the end of the Ming Dynasty. For example, "(Yang Sichang) saved Guo Shao from Sima Gong, but Yao remonstrated and thought it was filial, so he made an enemy and went to the portal, quite anxious to take revenge first and then go public." Yuan Yuan entered the cabinet, holding it in one hand, and all the negligence of the Ministry of War was above. His cabinet ministers did not dare to look at it, so they were appointed by the top. " Then he said, "I'm Li from Ningbo, and I see that Uncle Zheng is often imprisoned. When Wang Shi Yuxi was Yin Ling, I was also in the same city, and my language was extremely thin. " Hey? . Yu Yu said,' Be careful of Sun Zongbo's nobles. Why should he be excellent? Hey? ? Zhang Yue: Zongbo likes reading, and several people around him are full? Hey? Bribery, every time Zongbo read his book, he would report it. The more he went to the memorial day, all the secrets in Zongbo's account were recited. Zongbo was ignorant of his lewd habits because of his big clothes. "
"Gold Kao Gong light first, sex moment, the officer in accordance with the order of discussion, all deep clever slander, no luck, when people call the official department has punishments. And Zheng Shu is often executed. He is responsible for saying nothing and discussing everything. Just look at the words first, there is a cloud:' All are silent cicadas, who refers to Quyi?' So there is a difference every time you downgrade. When he entered the court the next day, Xu Du advised Gu Tongguan and said with a smile,' There are so many cicadas!' "
"For an old example, the secret affair of the soldier wall is not sealed, and there is a seal between the two. You have to borrow all five walls. Since Sima Yang advocated that there was something wrong with the wall of terror, he first eliminated the dissident's remonstrance and thought it was filial. Shen Shu Cao Xun, Zeng Shu and others were changed to the military department. Since then, shop assistants have been like members. Or the purpose is to send troops to the Ministry of War, or send troops to the other side of the city wall, and no one dares to peek. When the prison wall was close to the military wall, the warlord of the military wall said,' The ancients said that the ear belongs to the wall and it is not allowed to be alone? Gentlemen are silent. "The above items will outline a picture of" officialdom in the sky "in the late Ming Dynasty. Of course, the notes on sanyuan did not miss: "after I entered Beijing, I saw that the competition in this exam was the fiercest." When Wang Feng was in Vientiane, he took the people in charge of Henan Road, especially taking bribes. So, several people in the same town came to their senses and asked the reason, all of which pricked up their ears with the increase or decrease of bribes. Those who fight for a moment will fight with each other. You Jiang's Neo-Confucianism was also coaxed into Chang 'an by the voices of the same nation and striving for high positions. After entering the wall, Lu asked,' Why is there wind and rain in the south of the Yangtze River and nothing in the north of it?' Yu Yue said:' Two classmates in the south of the Yangtze River are in the first and second positions, but they won't choose the topic instead of Erh Lin. If two tigers contend, they will lose. It was the latest to enter. The positions of the first three people have been decided, and there is no plan to cross. Just be yourself. He was unwilling to be the second, but finally forgot what to say, so there was today's abuse. Therefore, the retrogression of fame and fortune is the most effective. "
As far as authenticity is concerned, Sanyuanzhu is basically objective and accurate, and has been fully recognized by reading the history of Ming Dynasty, and especially praised the writing principle of rejecting other people's opinions.
Of course, there are some absurd theories in Three Walls Notes. For example, the demise of Ming is attributed to fate, and all kinds of disasters are recorded as signs of the demise of Ming. There is a story about a scholar Yuan Qing who met a monk. The monk pointed to the astronomical phenomena and said, Emperor Wen Jian and his courtiers Qi Taihe and Huang Zicheng have come to earth again, and unrest will soon occur. Changes have taken place in Shen Jia, and the monk's words have been verified. There are not many such books, so readers can pay attention to them.
