Chapter 126: A New Era That is Splendid, Dark, Magnificent, and Tragic



The twenty-first year of Jiahe.

Severe drought in Shaanxi.

People ate each other and millions died of starvation.

The Prime Minister Chen Bing wrote a letter to the emperor, asking him to issue a "self-criticism edict".

The emperor was angry and dismissed the prime minister.

Zheng Xiasheng was appointed as the new Prime Minister and temporarily became the winner of this party struggle.

However, when Mr. Dong Lai learned about this, a deep worry appeared on his brow.

In such a turbulent time, being promoted to the prime minister, is it a blessing or a curse...it is really hard to know.

Fortunately, the Daliang Dynasty was really too big.

The external wars and the factional struggles in the court were only a small part of the world. This dynasty was still running in a seemingly prosperous state.

For example, the Ministry of Industry announced that there had been a major breakthrough in imitating Portuguese naval guns.

For example, the improved three-spindle pedal spinning wheel in Songjiang Prefecture doubled the spinning efficiency.

The textile industry began to prosper unprecedentedly.

But this also triggered a strike by weavers to protest against taxes.

The new Prime Minister Zheng Xiasheng was severely reprimanded by His Majesty for this.

Of course, these are people’s livelihood.

The Daliang literary world has also ushered in a new era with blooming flowers and shining stars.

Wang Hengzhi, the son of the Wang family of Taiyuan, fought hundreds of debates with scholars from Taiyuan to Nanjing, and never lost a single one.

A 13-year-old boy named He Xu passed the imperial examination and became the most dazzling "literary genius" in the Daliang Dynasty.

A 15-year-old boy named Zhao Yi, after studying the books of sages, composed an essay "Dong Lou Fu", which was so brilliant in writing and gorgeous in wording that it amazed the whole Daliang.

Of course, there is an even more powerful genius.

This person is called Su Qi, 17 years old, and is proficient in poetry, songs, and debates. It is said that this person is aloof and arrogant, and is arrogant and domineering.

He is one of the favorites for the next top scholar.

Excluding the above famous figures.

The Longxi Li family also had a young man, Li Changnian, who was 14 years old and was preparing to enter officialdom.

There was also a 17-year-old boy named Zhu Geyi who claimed to be the inheritor of Taoist doctrines in Zhongnan Mountain, causing a sensation.

According to legend, Mount Zhongnan is one of the birthplaces of Taoism, and Lao Tzu once lectured on the "Tao Te Ching" here.

The appearance of the Taoist inheritor seems to have sent out some kind of signal.

The inheritors of various schools, such as the Yin-Yang School, the School of Diplomacy, the School of Military Strategists, and the School of Legalists, began to appear in the world and show their talents.

They are too dazzling and too glaring.

No one knew who the entire Daliang literary world was focusing on.

Cui Xian, the former first child prodigy of Daliang, who once became famous among scholars with his poem "Song of Pity the Peasants" and shocked the literary world with his two eight-part essays, has completely disappeared without a trace.

Talented people emerge in every generation.

The former child prodigy was indeed dazzling.

But this world has never lacked geniuses!

Natural disasters, man-made calamities, and wars are the turmoil and darkness that dynasties can never avoid.

But on this land, the splendid civilization will always continue, and outstanding geniuses will emerge in endlessly.

The two complement each other and usher in a new era that is brilliant yet dark, magnificent yet tragic.

However, no matter how the times change, there will always be someone to write the legend, right?

The 22nd year of Jiahe in the Daliang Dynasty.

spring.

It's that time of year when peach blossoms are in full bloom.

Cui family.

A tall, fair, handsome young man with clear eyes and eyebrows stood in front of the wooden wall, picked up a pen and dipped it in ink, and smiled as he wrote the countdown for today:

There is still 1 day left to go to Kaifeng!
