I Can Extract Abilities From Antiques

With Wang Chengfeng's departure, Hu Muzhi's mind moved, and he washed the Yongle blue and white pen into the Void Ring.

After drinking the last bit of tea in the teapot, he got up and went to the kitchen to clean it up.

Immediately, he sat in front of the color TV and watched TV for a while.

I took out my pocket watch and looked at the time, it was 11 o'clock.

Hu Muzhi then left the courtyard and rode his chariot towards Panjiayao.

Today's Hu Muzhi did not plan to set up a stall, but prepared to take a stroll.

After all, I haven't shopped for a few days.

Compared with setting up a stall, shopping at a stall is more leisurely for Hu Muzhi.

However, after a series of inspections over the past few days, there are indeed a lot fewer stalls, and even Zhang Gui has not set up a stall today.

Hu Muzhi stopped and went, looking here and there.

Soon, a folding fan in front of a booth caught Hu Muzhi's attention.

In ancient times, the weather was hot and people wore a lot of clothes, so how to relieve the heat became a problem that people paid great attention to.

But the ancient people were very smart, they would think of a lot of solutions, and in addition to thinking about the material of the clothes, they would also think of hiding the ice underground in winter, and then taking it out in summer to relieve the heat .

But after all, this method can only be enjoyed by rich people, and it is almost impossible for ordinary people.

So someone came up with the fan.

In ancient times, it was not difficult to make fans, so people could basically afford them.

The fan can be written on because it is made of paper. And some talented ancients will inscribe and draw on the fan, which makes the fan look much more beautiful, and it can kill two birds with one stone.

And some famous calligraphy and paintings have been passed down from generation to generation, and they have become treasures worthy of collection in modern times.

But the folding fan was closed, so what attracted Hu Muzhi was not the painting on the fan, but the material of the fan bone.

Hu Muzhi crouched down and took the folding fan in his hand.

The first feeling you get when you get started is Shen.

Hu Muzhi called the good guy directly.

You must know that the fan is all about being light and light, so that it is easy to fan it, and the folding fan in Hu Muzhi's hand is actually made of red sandalwood.

20 years of cerebral thrombosis simply can not do this.

unless..

Hu Muzhi thought of a possibility that the main purpose of this folding fan is not for fans, but for appreciation.

Thinking of this, Hu Muzhi slowly opened the folding fan.

A few lines of words are written on the fan.

The writing is vigorous and simple, and the brushstrokes are practical, with a style of face and style.

The whole gives people a feeling of strength, beauty, elegance, and beauty.

The most important thing is the signature, which is written in two big characters: Liu Ji.

Liu Ji (1311~1375), courtesy name Bowen, was a scholar of Zhejiang Province, a statesman and writer in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties, and the founding father of the Ming Dynasty.

Liu Bowen was intelligent since he was a child, and was admitted to the Jinshi examination at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

He took his family back to his hometown for seclusion.

His home is near Nantian Mountain, which is one of the seventy-two blessed places of Taoism.

In the eyes of the ancients, Dongtianfudi is a place where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathers, and it is also a seclusion place for enlightened people.

There are many people who seek Taoism to and from Nantian Mountain all the year round, and even retreat to the mountain.

During Liu Bowen's seclusion period, he worshipped two masters, one named Zheng Fuchu, a great scholar of the Yuan Dynasty, and two disciples, Liu Bowen and Shi Nai'an.

The other was Zhang Zhong, Taoist Tieguan, a great prophet of the Ming Dynasty.

Anyone who knows history knows that official corruption and incompetence in government are probably synonymous with the end of the dynasty.

It heralds the emergence of troubled times, and also promotes the change of dynasties.

As a result, the Yuan Dynasty was in chaos, and various forces rose up in succession.

In the chaotic times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the world was divided by multiple forces, including the dying Yuan army, the Red Turban army who led the uprising, and the Zhang Shicheng army as a rising star.

The Red Turban Army was divided into Han Shantong and Xu Shouhui.

After Han Shantong's death, his son Han Liner was taken as the leader, and Zhu Yuanzhang was only a general under Han Liner's banner.

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang had 100,000 troops and wanted to stand on his own, but he was attacked by the enemy.

To the east and south are the Yuan Army, to the west is Xu Shouhui, to the southeast is Zhang Shicheng, and to the north is the main force of Han Liner's Red Turban Army.

If the Yuan Dynasty were to collapse, Zhu Yuanzhang would not be able to take the position of the ruler of the world.

Moreover, if he wins the king or loses the bandit, if he can't be the emperor, he can't survive, so he can only be the emperor, but Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't know how to stand out from the strangulation of various forces.

And this year, 50-year-old Liu Bowen was invited to become Zhu Yuanzhang's adviser, and proposed the strategy of "strike outside and resist inside".

The Yuan army will be destroyed sooner or later, so there is no need to let Zhu Yuanzhang do it, and what Zhu Yuanzhang has to do is to hide and forbear.

On the surface, he must continue to support Han Liner as the leader, and he cannot declare independence. Only in this way can Han Liner attract firepower and give himself some time.

Turning around, I have to surrender to the forces of all parties, showing that I have no ambitions, that is to say, no matter who wins the world, I can accept recruiting. The purpose of this is to secretly accumulate strength and watch tigers fight.

Wait until the situation is clear, and then go down the mountain to kill the tiger.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Liu Bowen's suggestion. On the one hand, he broke away from Han Lin'er's control and accumulated strength in the name of Han Lin'er. On the other hand, he surrendered to all forces, and secretly expanded his army.

So the other armies gave up attacking Zhu Yuanzhang and set their sights on Han Liner.

In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was attacked by the enemy, got a chance to breathe.

This not only reflects Liu Bowen's ability to plan the battle situation, but also predicts Liu Bowen's ability, and believes that Zhu Yuanzhang can make great achievements.

In the same year, Xu Shouhui's subordinate Chen Youliang declared independence and beheaded Xu Shouhui, becoming the largest force south of the Yangtze River.

It is right to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but Chen Youliang is too ferocious, and the more he fights, the more courageous he is.

While Zhu Yuanzhang felt helpless, there were disputes within the army. Some people proposed to surrender, some proposed to retreat, but Liu Bowen, who always advocated showing weakness, was uncharacteristically.

He said that he watched the celestial phenomena at night, thinking that this is the time of the day, it was given to them by God, and it may be the only opportunity to rule the world, and they should strive for geographical advantages and people.

Chen Youliang was arrogant and did not take Zhu Yuanzhang in his eyes, so as long as he could lure the enemy to go deeper, he could grasp the geographical advantage.

Then open the warehouse and put food on it to boost people's hearts and morale, so that people can be mastered.

There is no way out of the sky, and the way of life is hidden in these thousands of dead ends. In this way, under Liu Bowen's plan, Zhu Yuanzhang faced difficulties and fought against Chen Youliang three times in three years, and successfully defeated Chen Youliang at Poyang Lake. Eating Chen Youliang's fat also made Zhu Yuanzhang a real tiger.

Since then, Zhu Yuanzhang has no rivals, and it didn't take long for him to unite Jiangnan and become a veritable ruler of the world.

In 1367, that is, on the eve of Zhu Yuanzhang's proclamation as emperor, he sent an edict to Liu Bowen overnight and asked him to calculate the national fortune for the future Ming Dynasty. Not long after, Liu Bowen compiled the "Wushen Datongli" according to astronomical phenomena.

It was this calendar that made Zhu Yuanzhang make two important decisions.

The first is to prohibit the circulation of astrological books among the people, and those who violate the rules will be punished.

In fact, the banned book incidents have happened in all dynasties, mainly because there is a fear that some experts will determine the fate of the Ming Dynasty, so that some rebels can take advantage of the fate of the Ming Dynasty to defeat the Ming Dynasty.

The second is to let Liu Bowen choose a feng shui treasure land to build a palace for Daming, which is today's Jinling Ming Palace.

After choosing the imperial palace, in order to cut off his luck towards the dragon, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Liu Bowen to cut off all the dragon veins in the world.

The ancients often said that emperors were born with dragon veins. Where there are dragon veins, there will be emperors. The so-called dragon veins are not real dragons, but mountains that resemble dragons.

In layman's terms, it is the treasure land of feng shui in the mouth of the common people. In the thinking of the induction of heaven and man, it is believed that people are born with qi, and qi can be understood as energy or qi luck. Well, some might even keep him on the throne.

In the "Wushen Datongli" compiled by Liu Bowen for the Ming Dynasty, several disasters were indeed recorded. Zhu Yuanzhang believed that these future disasters may indicate that some people rebelled, so he asked Liu Bowen to destroy all the dragon veins. So far, in many places, There are legends about Liu Bowen and the dragon veins.

Especially in the northwest region, Liu Bowen believed that the next real dragon might appear at this location. For example, there is a Gaolan Mountain in Lanzhou.

For another example, near the Wudu District in Longnan, there was a mountain range that was as imposing as a dragon, and as a result, it was also dug up.

In general, there was only one dragon vein in the Zhu family left in the world at that time, as if this also foreshadowed the situation of competition for the throne within the Zhu family.

Later, Zhu Yunwen slashed the Tibetans, Zhu Di rebelled, Zhu Di's son rebelled, and Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Qiyu, a foreign student from Wataru, competed for the throne. Although the dragon vein was destroyed, the disaster came as scheduled.

It may also be because the dragon veins were cut off, so the Qing Dynasty started from outside the customs and entered the capital all the way.

It stands to reason that an ability like Liu Bowen should be in a high position.

However, in the end, he was only awarded the title of Earl of Sincerity.

This is called success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He.

Zhu Yuanzhang is a representative of the world, not only worried about the rebellion of outsiders, but also worried about the rebellion of his own generals, and worried that they are highly successful, especially someone like Liu Bowen, who has both a strategy, a knowledge of the overall situation, and an understanding of the secrets. out of control.

Therefore, after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Bowen, who was the first adviser, could only be ranked at the bottom, and he was given a position called Censor Zhongcheng, who was responsible for supervising the civil and military officials. It sounded powerful, but it was not a big official, and it was worse than the prime minister. Far.

Liu Bowen's position, coupled with his impartiality in law enforcement, made many people resent him in the court. This group of people formed a Huaixi faction, that is, the group who initially followed Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the world, and supported Liu Bowen. As for the people, they formed a Zhejiang faction and began to fight against the Huaixi faction.

Zhu Yuanzhang has said many times that Liu Bowen is equivalent to the ovary, but unfortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang is not Liu Bang, so Liu Bowen is not destined to retreat like Zhang Liang.

He did not intend to participate in the struggle between the 507 factions, but he also knew that Zhu Yuanzhang would not give up, so he resigned several times, but he always went around.

When Liu Bowen resigned for the last time, Zhu Yuanzhang thought of abolishing Li Shanchang, so he asked Liu Bowen's opinion, and Liu Bowen said: "Although he has made mistakes, he has made great contributions."9

Zhu Yuanzhang: "He wants to harm you again and again, and you still put yourself in his shoes? I want to change you to the prime minister.

Liu Ji bowed his head and said, "How can this be done? Replacing the prime minister is like replacing beams and pillars. You must use thick and strong wood. If you use thin wood, the house will collapse immediately.

Zhu Yuanzhang: "Who is the right person to replace? Yang Xian from your hometown of Zhejiang.

Liu Bowen strongly objected, saying that Yang Xian did not have the power of a prime minister.

Zhu Yuanzhang: "Where is Hu Weiyong?"

Liu Bowen: "The prime minister is like a horse that drives a car. If Hu Weiyong is allowed to drive, the car may overturn."

After asking around, only Liu Bowen was left. As a result, Liu Bowen said that he hated evil and couldn't take on this important task. In fact, here, Liu Bowen said what Zhu Yuanzhang said in his heart.

A person who could read the emperor's mind, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't accept it.

In the eighth year of Hongwu, that is, in 1375, Liu Bowen was infected with a cold. After Zhu Yuanzhang learned about this, he sent Hu Weiyong to send the imperial medicine. Since then, Liu Bowen's condition became more and more serious, and soon he drove the crane to the west.

Later, Hu Weiyong stepped down, and one of the charges was poisoning Liu Bowen.

As for who the murderer is, no one knows.

Liu Bowen is a legend among the people, and he is also the No. 1 military advisor of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty in the official history.

He is known in the world for his ingenious calculations and strategizing.

But not much is known about his calligraphy. Not to mention the fan.

Hu Muzhi looked at it carefully.

Seeing that Hu Muzhi was looking carefully, the stall owner said with a smile, "Boss, the red sandalwood folding fan is an absolute good item, should I buy it back to play?

Hearing this, Hu Muzhi's eyes lit up, because the focus of the stall owner's words was on the red sandalwood, not on the fan, so he smiled and shook his head: "I don't know who came up with it, actually Use rosewood to make fan bones.

The stall owner smiled awkwardly. Indeed, when he received this folding fan, he felt that there must be something wrong with the mind of the person who made it.

This fan for a while, let alone relieve the heat, I am exhausted.

In order to complete this sale, the stall owner said, "Boss, I don't want much, just sell a red sandalwood for one hundred and twenty yuan, how about you take it?"
