Other people’s lives…are so absurd and bizarre.
But it is obvious that it is not just the people of Daliang who experience absurd and bizarre things.
Including the Emperor of Daliang, who also experienced an absurd or even horrifying incident.
That day.
The servant Lao Luo hurried to the backyard and handed over a letter with a strange expression.
After reading it, Mr. Donglai exclaimed, "Ridiculous!"
Over the past year, news about current affairs in the court and outside world had often reached the Cui family's backyard.
Although the news is very delayed, it is the only way for people to understand state affairs.
Everyone was curious about why Mr. Dong Lai was so angry and gathered around him.
After reading the contents of the letter, everyone's face was filled with disbelief.
Because the content on the envelope was this: the emperor was obsessed with alchemy, and because the medicine required "red lead", he ordered a large number of palace maids to eat mulberry leaves and drink dew every day to ensure the purity of the "red lead", that is, the menstrual blood.
The maids could not bear the abuse and decided to fight back. They tried to strangle the emperor with yellow silk strips while he was sleeping, but they failed in the end.
After this incident, a large number of palace maids were executed by slow slicing.
The whole government was shocked.
The emperor was furious and began to become suspicious. It was said that he had not attended court for some time.
This... is indeed ridiculous.
But because the other party was the emperor, no one dared to say anything after reading the letter.
The atmosphere in the small backyard was a little stagnant.
Until Old Cui's excited voice broke the stagnation.
"He passed! He passed the exam! Xian'er, Yu'er, come quickly with grandma to welcome your father. They both passed the exam!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole yard became lively.
Cui Xian and Cui Yu quickly stood up and followed Old Cui out.
Ten years of wasted time finally lead to success!
Cui Boshan and Cui Zhongyuan finally passed the college entrance examination and became scholars!
Old Cui has been so busy lately that she hasn't had time to look at the list.
She only got the news when the servants in her house came to tell her the good news.
Lin and Chen were also overjoyed.
Not long after.
The two newly-crowned scholars returned home, grinning and laughing foolishly.
Two talented people in one family!
In addition, there is Cui Xian, the "first prodigy in Daliang".
The Cui family, therefore, sparked a lot of discussion and heated debate in Nanyang.
But the little prodigy Cui Xian seemed to have disappeared completely, completely out of the public eye, and there was no news about him.
At the beginning, some people often thought about it.
Later, as time went by, everyone gradually forgot about it.
Because there are really a lot of exciting things happening in Nanyang!
No one knew when it started, but a newspaper called "Secret Stories in the Streets" suddenly began to spread in the streets of Nanyang.
At first, people didn't care.
But later, as time went by, the people of Nanyang were surprised or excited to find that this official report was quite informative and exciting!
All kinds of gossip, scandals, and neighborhood troubles are recorded on it!
Cheating and disputes are just child's play.
Even more shocking and absurd are the various ethical and moral scandals such as adultery and raising a younger brother-in-law.
All in all, it's quite exciting!
It is the topic of conversation for everyone after dinner.
Many people even came to the newspaper to contribute articles on their own initiative: "I don't want money, I just want to tell what I know to all the people of Nanyang! I've been holding it in for so many years, it's killing me!"
This official report is so advanced and fresh.
He easily captured countless people.
Who doesn’t love gossip? Especially gossip about people around you!
Imagine your next-door neighbor suddenly becoming the star of today's "Secrets of the City".
I just ask you whether it is exciting or not!
Everyone can call their friends, brothers and sisters and chat for a whole day!
Of course, no one realized at this moment that this gossip newspaper was quietly spreading from Nanyang to the entire Henan city at an astonishing speed.
When "Secret Stories" was secretly developing and was about to surprise everyone.
Time is also passing by quickly.
There are still 1174 days left to go to Kaifeng!
There are still 985 days left before going to Kaifeng!
There are still 704 days left to go to Kaifeng!
The countdown on the Cui family’s wooden wall was decreasing day by day.
The people of Nanyang are eating melons.
In the backyard of the Cui family, Cui Xian, Mr. Dong Lai, Pei Jian and others were also "eating melons".
However, the news they received concerned the entire Daliang.
Ever since the emperor was nearly killed by a palace maid, the Daliang Dynasty began to be unstable both in terms of internal affairs and external enemies.
The current affairs news that was transmitted back to the Cui family compound was getting bigger and bigger.
Twenty years of Jiahe.
A man named Wang Zhi colluded with Japanese pirates, caused chaos in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, and massacred civilians.
The emperor was furious and sent a large army to encircle and suppress the rebellion.
However, due to the weakness of the imperial navy and its poor naval combat capability, it was defeated by the Japanese pirates.
This incident was like a fuse, igniting the ills that had accumulated over the years in the Daliang Dynasty.
same year.
Altan Khan's army broke through the Great Wall defense line and attacked Daliang.
At the beginning of the following year, the chieftains in the southwest rebelled.
In the twentieth year of Emperor Jiahe's reign, Daliang, which had been plagued by constant small-scale disputes and frictions, finally officially ushered in large-scale, multiple wars and conflicts.
Looking at the long history, the turmoil of all dynasties seems to have suddenly erupted at some inconspicuous moment.
External troubles trigger internal conflicts.
The factional struggle between the first assistant Chen Bing and the second assistant Zheng Xiasheng was forced to start. The students of both sides impeached each other, and a large number of officials were involved.
But at this moment, a horrific incident shook the entire Daliang.
