I no longer felt that hunger and pain, but I was still very angry. I asked Ninth Brother, why couldn't you help me when you saw that I had suffered so much? I was almost beaten to death.
Brother Nine's answer made me speechless. Brother Nine said that suffering grievances can temper people and make them grow.
I asked unwillingly. Aren't you afraid that I'll be angered to death?
Brother Nine also smiled and said," Don't worry, everything is under control."
I then asked Ninth Brother what the purpose of this test was. Ninth Brother replied that it was very simple. He wanted you to experience the suffering and grievances that ordinary people had never experienced.
I said, then let me suffer. Why do I have to think of a way to overcome it myself?
Brother Nine smiled and said," Suffering is not an experience that can make people grow. When it comes to suffering, slaves suffer the most. How many slaves have you seen who are truly talented? Only by overcoming pain can you truly grow." There are other projects tomorrow, so you should continue to prepare.
I don't care what kind of assessment it is. It's torture anyway. I'm used to it. The night was silent. Soon, the next day came. I went to that room again. Brother Jiu's voice came at the right time. Brother Jiu told me that you had passed most of the tests. There was only one more option left.
I asked him teasingly,"What method did you think of to torture me this time?"
Brother Nine said,"Today's assessment is to let you have a certain degree of adaptability to money, power, and beauty." However, if you feel that the training a few days ago is not enough, we can start the previous training and assessment again.
When I heard that it was about money, power, and beauty, I immediately perked up. Even a fool would know that this kind of adaptation training would be very interesting. Thinking of this, I quickly said," Ninth Brother, don't mess around. You know I don't mean that. Besides, I'm not immune to power, money, and beauty. This kind of adaptation training should be done and strengthened."
Your consciousness will be transferred to the body of Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty for seven days. Other than adapting to money, power, and beautiful women, you are not allowed to make any decisions that may change major historical events. If you violate this, we will terminate your experience at any time. Brother Nine said seriously as usual.
I said, how would I know if my decision would change history?
Brother Nine said," I'll remind and supervise you at all times. I wish you good luck."
Just like last time, half a minute later, my consciousness was instantly teleported to a luxurious, elegant, and solemn room. I looked around and realized that I was lying on a comfortable bed. There was a faint special fragrance in the air.
I knew that I was adapting to the training, and I was now the Wanli Emperor, but I was not familiar with the surrounding environment and did not know what I should do.
I couldn't lie down all the time. As soon as I got up, a young and beautiful girl came to my bed to serve me.
This girl was really beautiful. She was dressed like a palace maid from the Ming Dynasty. Although her figure could not be seen from her clothes, one could imagine that her figure was definitely not bad. I was thinking about normal things like all normal men. However, on second thought, he was already an emperor. He was a person with a forest. He could not be so small-minded.
Thinking of this, I was about to ask her something, but this young girl spoke first. Your Majesty, you are finally awake. We were so worried. You have slept for almost two days and two nights. The imperial physicians have not found anything wrong. This is good. I will go and inform the Empress and the imperial concubines now. Then, he told my personal eunuch,'Little Chun, take good care of His Majesty.' After saying that, she flew out like a little swallow.
Why is this girl in such a hurry? I don't even know her name and she ran away. Fortunately, the other palace maids and eunuchs surrounded me. I couldn't name any of them. I pretended to cover my head and said,"I'm still a little confused. I can't remember some things. Why did I sleep for so long?"
The eunuch in charge, Xiao Chun Zi, quickly replied," Your Majesty, you've forgotten. When you went hunting the day before yesterday and chased after a deer, your horse was tired and fell down. You also accidentally fell off your horse and fainted at that time. The soldiers who protected you carried you back to the palace. The imperial physicians took turns to check your pulse and felt that your pulse was stable and there was no serious problem, but you just didn't wake up." The empress and the other imperial consorts were frightened. They had been guarding you for two days and one night. They had just gone back to rest and did not expect you to wake up at this time.
I'm so angry. What do you mean by the horse is tired and lying down? Isn't this indirectly calling me a meat block that is pressing down on the horse?
Just as I was about to explode, I looked at myself again and realized that I was too fat. I hated it. Wanli didn't even know how to lose weight. This was obviously delaying my enjoyment. I had no choice but to pretend to rub my eyes and ask who had just run out. I didn't see clearly.
The eunuch was a little surprised, but he still replied directly. Miss Jingyue saw that you were better and was anxious. Before you asked, she ran to deliver the letter first. She forgot that you liked her to serve you the most.
I said,'It's fine. Help me up and walk around first.' After I finished speaking, the two eunuchs helped me up. I placed my hands on their shoulders. The two eunuchs were clearly struggling. I didn't indulge them. After lying down for two days and two nights, my blood vessels were a little blocked. My shoulders and head were really a little painful. I asked the two eunuchs to help me move around. After a while, the symptoms were somewhat alleviated.
The two eunuchs were quite tired. After stopping, they kept wiping their sweat. After strolling around twice, I felt that I had completely adapted to Wan Li's body.
According to the ancient records, Wan Li's right leg was a bit crippled, but I'm still in his younger days, so my right leg is completely fine.
I looked around again. This was a bedroom in a palace. Everything was decorated with gold and jade, which was especially luxurious. The floor was covered with orange-red carpet, which was very soft and comfortable to step on. I saw that I was wearing a silk light yellow dragon robe that looked like pajamas. He immediately ordered the eunuch to change his clothes.
The eunuch quickly gave the order. The door on the right opened in time, and four or five maids dressed in Ming Dynasty clothes came out.
I took a closer look. They were all quite beautiful. Their clothes were very classic, but I still couldn't tell what their figures were like.
Each of them was holding a piece of clothing in their hands. The leader was a tall female servant, and she looked the most outstanding. After entering, she bowed to me and said, Your Majesty, you're awake. Can you wear this dark red python robe today?
After saying that, she pointed at the trays in the hands of the other maids behind her. I don't know what a python robe is. Aren't they all dragon robes? Why are you wearing a python robe? I'm new here and can't correct you. He could only agree,"Alright."
As soon as I finished speaking, the leading female servant ordered the other female servants to come up and help me change my clothes.
I don't really know how others dress me. I only remember watching the scenes of ancient emperors dressing on television. The emperors always stretched out their hands. I stretched out my hands like this and actually got it right.
The maids came up to help me change my clothes. Some helped me take off my clothes, leaving only my middle clothes, which were shorts. Some helped me put on my underwear, some helped me put on my coat, some helped me put on my pants, and some helped me put on my hat. Everyone was busy but not flustered. Occasionally, there would be skin to skin contact. It felt quite good to have a bunch of beautiful women constantly surrounding and serving him.
After putting on my clothes, two maids came over to bring me mouthwash, face wash, and a towel. After washing up, I asked Xiao Chun about my schedule for the day.
Little Chun was obviously very familiar with the routine. He told me to have breakfast in the morning and then deal with state affairs in the royal study. After lunch, they could do something they liked in the afternoon and then have dinner. After dinner, there were some entertainment activities. You can choose your concubine to sleep after Youshi,
Of course, I'm very satisfied with these arrangements. It's just that the time is a little short, only a week. I can't waste time. Every inch of time is worth an inch of gold.
I got dressed and was led by Little Chun Zi to the outer room for breakfast. Although it was breakfast, it was still very rich. There were all kinds of desserts, side dishes, and fruits. There were about 30 to 40 types. Actually, this was not a big deal. All kinds of star-rated hotels in the real world were similar. However, I am very interested in the porcelain bowl in my hand. The large porcelain pieces of the Wanli period are no longer comparable to the porcelain pieces of the early Ming Dynasty. The body is thinner and there are more gaps. However, the small porcelain pieces such as bowls and plates are still refined, dense, and white. The porcelain bowl in my hand is glazed and plump, and the glaze is green. I really want to take a few back. The porcelain bowls used in Wanli are at least tens of millions.
Little Chun Zi saw me staring at the porcelain and thought that I was not satisfied with the porcelain bowl or the food in the porcelain bowl. He whispered," Is Your Majesty dissatisfied with today's breakfast?" How about I get the imperial kitchen to make it again?
I came back to my senses and said,"No need. I'm just a little interested in porcelain bowls." He had to protect it well and not damage it.
Little Chun was confused, but he nodded. I ate a few desserts from the million-dollar porcelain bowl and felt that it was about the same as usual.
The Ming Dynasty court was influenced by Zhu Yuanzhang and some meritorious deeds of founding the country. Huaiyang cuisine was the main cuisine. I tried almost all of them, and some of them were really delicious.
The emperor is really particular about his meals. Little Chun is very busy, serving me food from time to time. He is just short of feeding me. The first two times were alright and felt quite good, but later on, I felt that it was too troublesome. I couldn't break the rules, so I could only hastily end the imperial meal.
Time is precious. I can't waste more time eating. I have to familiarize myself with the environment first.
At this moment, Miss Jingyue had just returned to my side after informing my harem. I carefully looked at Jingyue. Actually, there was no need for any harem beauties. Jingyue was very beautiful. No wonder Wanli liked her to serve him. After that, I was led by Jingyue, Xiao Chunzi, and a few eunuchs to the outside of the palace.
It was already early summer, and the sun was shining brightly outside the hall. The weather was good, and it wasn't hot.
I looked around. This palace was the modern Forbidden City. It had red walls, green tiles, carved beams, and painted pillars. It just looked newer.
I've been to the modern Forbidden City a few times, but it's pretty much the same here. I've been lying down for two days and my body is still a little tired. I need some simple exercise now. I should get used to Wanli's body. Thinking of this, I told Jingyue to come, accompany me for a walk.
Jing Yue agreed and led the way. She told the other eunuchs to help the Emperor up.
When I heard that, I was unhappy. What did he mean by helping His Majesty up? He was obviously looking down on my skills and even suspected that he was discriminating against my figure.
I pushed the eunuch away and said,"No need. I can walk by myself." As I said that, I walked down the first step in large strides. I realized that although it was a little shaky, it was nothing. In order to show off my skills, I held the white marble railing at the corner of the second and third steps and jumped. My original intention was to easily get over it. This was not a problem for me at all.
But I overestimated Wanli's body. Wanli was too fat. I used my hand to support myself and didn't cross it. I was stuck at the corner of two railings. Fortunately, the white marble railings were very strong, but I couldn't go up or down. The scene was very funny.
Jingyue looked at me in surprise and said," Your Majesty, what are you trying to do?"
I said angrily,"Don't talk nonsense. I don't want to do anything. Hurry up and help me down." The two personal eunuchs wanted to help me up, but Jingyue stopped them and said," Don't move. I think the white marble railing is going to break. Don't blindly help me. If the white marble railing breaks, His Majesty will definitely fall. Don't move. I'll go find the royal guards."
With that, he flew away to look for the royal guards outside the courtyard. The eunuch next to me saw me stuck here and didn't know what to say. He asked me if I was thirsty and then talked to me about the weather.
I was embarrassed. I could see that they were all trying hard not to laugh. I had no choice but to wait.
The royal guards reacted really quickly. In less than two minutes, they had all reached the steps. Everyone looked at the scene that could only be seen during the New Year's slaughter. They wanted to laugh, but they did not dare to. Their faces were red.
Jingyue had a way. She got someone to pull a net, afraid that I would fall in. Then, he tied four ropes to my hands and feet and slowly pulled me up. This was really stable, but it was like being dismembered.
After pulling me up, I panted for a long time before returning to normal. I didn't dare to challenge any more difficult movements.
I walked up the stairs to the square in front of the hall and looked around. This was the Forbidden City where I queued up to buy tickets and squeezed into the crowd to visit. I remembered that the first time I visited the Forbidden City was during the National Day holiday five years ago. I bought a ticket and came in, but I basically saw a few palaces from afar. I queued up outside the door and tiptoed to take a look at the palaces. This time, I can tour openly without having to buy a ticket. Moreover, it's my special tour. Just thinking about it gives me a sense of satisfaction.
However, the Forbidden City I saw was very different from the current one. It was probably around the 20th year of Wanli, and the fire in the 25th year of Wanli hadn't happened yet. The first three halls and the last three palaces were not burned down. I'm really lucky to be able to see this different Forbidden City. I told Jingyue to accompany me around the Forbidden City.
We first came to Fengtian Hall. This palace should be located in Taihe Hall of the Forbidden City, but it was much larger than Taihe Hall. This was the place where the court was held. According to the ancient records, there should be a year in Wanli where there was a conflict with the ministers because of the matter of the crown prince. After that, they never went to court again. I know this story, but it's not within my ability.
I came to the Hall of Heaven's Tribute. Although it couldn't compare to the Great Hall, it was spacious and majestic enough. I entered the hall and carefully looked at the dragon pillars, the dragon desk, and the dragon throne. I sat on the dragon throne and adapted to the feeling of being an emperor for a long time.
Jingyue just looked at me quietly without saying anything. Little Chun Zi thought that I was going to change my decision to not go to court and kept persuading me to be diligent in government affairs.
I thought to myself, I'm just a passing God of Fortune. I don't want to change anything, and I can't change anything. So I didn't reply to Little Chun's words. After sitting for a while, I left the hall.
Next, I went to the Canopy Hall, which is the current location of the Zhonghe Hall. This place was much smaller, but because it was small, it was more exquisite and luxurious. I looked at everything here inch by inch like a tourist.
Jingyue accompanied me very patiently. However, Little Chun was a little suspicious and asked me," Did Your Majesty still feel that something was wrong after you fell off your horse? You've never looked at these palaces so carefully before."
I also noticed this. How could an emperor be obsessed with his own palace? I used the excuse that I was thinking about something to dispel Xiao Chunzi's suspicion.
I originally wanted to go and take a look at the Refined Body Palace Hall behind me, which is also the current Baohe Palace Hall. However, it was obviously a little abrupt to go now, so I had no choice but to give up on this idea.
I left the Canopy Hall and looked towards the southeast corner. There should be a turret there, but it was now a four-story wooden tower, the tallest building in the vicinity. I quickly asked Xiao Chun what building it was. Little Chun looked at me in surprise and quickly replied,"How could Your Majesty forget that the building is called Shi Zhen Building?"
I rubbed my head to temporarily ease the awkwardness. Then, I immediately said that I would set off for the Treasure House now. After I finished speaking, I sat in a small sedan chair and arrived at the Treasure Pavilion under the escort of a group of eunuchs and palace maids.
The Treasure Tower was the tallest building in the area, but it was still not comparable to modern buildings. It was only less than 30 meters tall. I walked into the Treasure House. It was really luxurious inside. There were all kinds of expensive porcelain on the first floor. I didn't have any research on porcelain and wasn't interested in it, but I knew that any one of these would be worth at least ten million yuan in modern times. I stopped to take a look, but I couldn't understand it at all. I only knew that most of these were from the Five Great Ming Kilns of the Song Dynasty, and there were also some precious Tang Sancai.
I didn't understand it, so I stopped looking at it. I went straight up the stairs to the second floor, where there were all kinds of famous calligraphy and paintings. To my surprise, I actually saw Li Bai's authentic work,"Sticker on the balcony". There is also an authentic work of Cao Cao, and it is not the two characters of Yanxue in the Shaanxi Hanzhong Museum, but the unfamiliar "Qi out to sing, travel Junshan, very true". I don't know much about calligraphy, but I feel that this calligraphy is magnificent and the handwriting is beautiful. What I don't know now is that I will have a relationship with Cao Cao in the future.
In addition, there are also the calligraphy and paintings of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty and Li Shimin's authentic works. I wonder what level of national treasures these authentic works will be in the modern world. Unfortunately, I can't take any of them away. These are indeed too precious. I can't put them down.
Twenty minutes later, I reluctantly left the second floor and went to the third floor. There were some expensive jewelry on the third floor. I was very interested in these and picked them up one by one to check.
Jingyue accompanied me seriously. However, Little Chun 'zi looked very bored. The things here obviously couldn't raise his interest. He said to me,"Your Majesty, let's go straight to the fourth floor. You usually don't like these things, but why do you act like you've never seen them before today?"
I didn't want to act weird, so I went straight to the fourth floor.
The fourth floor was indeed a different world. In the middle of the fourth floor was a pedestal carved with exquisite dragon patterns. On the pedestal was a Buddha made of a whole piece of jade, luminous pearls, pearls, agate, and jade. When Little Chun saw this treasure, he immediately knelt down and bowed. I wondered why this eunuch dared to bow to the Lord before me, but I didn't lose my temper. I followed suit and bowed three times. Then I stood up and began to carefully observe. This was really a national treasure among national treasures. The luxury of the materials used and the exquisiteness of the workmanship were incomparable to other artifacts. It was said that this national treasure was already very exquisite during the day. At night, the luminous pearl in the jade pearl Buddha could emit the Buddha's back light, so it was regarded as a national treasure by the Wanli Dynasty. I'm especially curious about such a national treasure. Where did it go in the future? If it's passed down, it won't be able to buy Chang 'an Street, but it can at least buy ten or so Siheyuan houses in Beijing. After looking at it for a long time, I gave up on my wild thoughts.
After that, I left the Buddha Hall and stood in the observation pavilion to look around. My Forbidden City was really not small. The overall architectural style was similar to the Forbidden City. The biggest difference was that the Forbidden City now had many architectural elements of the Manchu Dynasty, while this place was more Chinese. I looked into the distance again. At this time, there were no high-rise buildings in Beijing. There were more orderly courtyard houses. Today, there were no clouds in the sky, and there was no smog in the sky. I looked out and could clearly see the scenery more than ten miles away. Beijing really had a unique charm.
In the era of cold weapons, there was no need to worry about safety here. It was really a good place to drink and chat. I sat on a chair and looked at the bustling half of Beijing. From here, I could truly feel the prosperity of the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. Although Beijing wasn't as big as it is now, it was ancient and had a charm. However, due to the lack of high-rise buildings, the population of Beijing, which was close to a million, began to move out of the provinces and cities at this time. In order to commend the residents who took the initiative to move out, the imperial court even gave certain rewards. It could be seen that the population at that time was definitely very prosperous.
Especially near the Imperial City, the streets were filled with merchants and shopkeepers. There were a few beggars in the crowd from time to time. They were just like me at that time. They were filthy and fought over leftovers from time to time to fill their stomachs.
I suddenly remembered the suffering I had suffered a few days ago. Moreover, I haven't dealt with the beggar who wronged me. In other words, the butler who wronged me and beat me up, and the muddle-headed rich man.
I was teleported to the same era, and I'm now the emperor. I can take revenge. Thinking of this, I began to plan my revenge. I am now the Emperor, so it is easy to plan for revenge. I thought about it briefly and came up with a perfect plan. I asked Xiao Chun to pass on a decree to the Minister of Justice, Du Shangchun. At this time, the Minister of Justice is still Zhang Wenda, who was famous during the Wanli era.
Although Wanli did not go to court, he still handled regular political affairs normally. An hour later, Du Shangchun arrived at the Scenic View Tower. After the ceremony, I told Du Shangchun that one of my informants met a literary beggar in Tong County three months ago. At that time, the beggar had composed three outstanding ancient poems. My informant saw that such a literary person was covered in wounds, so he went up to talk to him. According to the beggar, he was beaten up because he was wrongly accused of stealing sheep. Originally, this matter was nothing much. I also treated it as a folk interest to listen to. I don't know why, but yesterday, I actually dreamed of a related scene. It seems that the heavens have hinted to me, so I summoned you today to immediately think of a way to bring that beggar and all related people back to the capital. I want to personally investigate this case. On the way, I can't make things difficult for them. There can't be any mistakes.
I didn't say much, but it was very clear.
After Du Shangchun received the decree, he immediately went to supervise the matter. The reason why I told him to hurry up was because I didn't have much time. I mean, I don't have much time as an emperor.
While I was thinking about it, a young eunuch ran over to report that the Empress and the concubines of the various palaces had all arrived at Yangxin Hall to wait for His Majesty for a long time. The Empress saw that His Majesty had not returned for a long time and asked me to come and inform him.
When I heard this, I immediately stood up, startling the eunuch beside me. I couldn't care less about that. I was indeed a little excited. I thought to myself, Li Yuan, oh Li Yuan, you also have this day. These words seemed a little wrong. I can't care so much. I have to go see my harem.
