At the beginning, Qin Shi Huang traveled to my home

"Father, I think we need to reconsider the feudal system. If it's like what the immortal said, the Ming Dynasty will not be able to support those royal family members in the future," Crown Prince Zhu Biao looked unhappy. It was okay in the beginning, but in the future, the more children they had, the more money they would have to rely on the court to support them. How could that be possible?

The ministers were naturally smart people, so they knew it all.

Empress Ma also said, "Chongba, I know you made this out of pity for the children, but you can't let it bring down the Ming Dynasty."

Empress Ma felt her head buzzing. How could the mother be so fertile? If she continued to give birth, would the Ming Dynasty still exist?

So, under the persuasion of everyone and after his own consideration, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to only support three generations of the royal family and ignore the others.

What this means is that three generations ago, you could still receive a salary from the court, but after that, how your life was going to be depended entirely on yourself. Whether you would be rich or poor, that depended on your personal ability.

Zhu Yuanzhang had his own considerations for choosing to support three generations. Naturally, he didn't want the Zhu family to suffer.

But it is absolutely impossible to bring down the Ming Dynasty.

There was also a lot of discussion in the barrage, and many dynasties were glad that they did not have a feudal system, otherwise it would be too terrible.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, also announced it on the barrage, which made the people of the Ming Dynasty cheer, especially the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, who cried loudly because they finally didn't have to support those useless people.

As for rebellion, they did want to rebel, but they didn’t dare. They really didn’t dare. With Tianmu and Taizu and Taizong around, who would dare to rebel?

I was afraid that after the rebellion, I would be expelled from the Zhu family tree.

The royal family of the Ming Dynasty cried loudly. They were used to a good life and no longer wanted to live a hard life. However, it was useless to refuse because Taizu had already spoken.

Those emperors had long since given up on supporting them for nothing.

……

"Alas," Wang Yangming also sighed.

"Don't worry, Saint Wang. The Ming Taizu just said that he would no longer support the royal family, but only support three generations. This has reduced a lot of the Ming's burden," Li Wu said. Wang Yangming's eyes lit up and he shouted, "Saint Taizu, you are wise!"

After hearing Wang Yangming's words, everyone in the Ming Dynasty shouted "Taizu is wise and enlightened" on the barrage.

This made Ming Dynasty's first emperor Zhu Yuanzhang laugh out loud.

"Ming Taizu has definitely changed a lot," Li Wu also said with a smile. Of course, this was not only her credit, but more importantly, it was the persuasion of Crown Prince Zhu Biao and Empress Ma that made Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang change. Otherwise, with Ming Taizu's stubborn temper, she really could not change him at all.

The ministers of the Hongwu period also nodded slightly. It was true. His Majesty had indeed changed a lot. Hehe, many people had saved their lives.

Especially after the immortal gave them the medicine, they were not afraid as long as the queen and the prince were there.

“Let’s continue talking about you, Saint Wang.

In 1521 AD, during the reign of Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty, he indulged in pleasure, which led to his health deteriorating and he eventually became unable to have children.

So the vassal prince Zhu Houcong took advantage of the opportunity and became Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty.

After Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty ascended the throne, you, Saint Wang, asked to return home because of your elders. However, Emperor Shenzong said that you, Saint Wang, had made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion and he would reward you according to your merits, so he would not let you resign.

In August of the same year, Saint Wang was appointed as the Minister of War of Nanjing, and was given the additional title of Earl of Xinjian, which was hereditary.

In 1522 AD, your father, Wang Hua, passed away and returned to his hometown to observe mourning. After that, you, Wang Shengren, began to invite people to give lectures at Jishan Academy.

Later, Yangming Academy was founded in Shaoxing, and Xin-Nian philosophy was spread.

Later, your wife, Ms. Zhu, passed away, and you married another wife and had a son.

Saint Wang, are you okay?" Li Wu saw that Wang Yangming's face was not very good and his eyes were red, and he knew that he was sad.

My father left, my wife left too, and sadness is inevitable.

Wang Yangming shook his head and said, "Little immortal, I'm fine. But my father, alas," Wang Yangming just sighed. Birth, aging, sickness and death are the laws of nature, which cannot be forcibly changed.

In front of the sky, Wang Hua suddenly knew the time of his death. Don’t say anything and take it lightly. In fact, it’s good to know it, so that you can be prepared, right?

His son has achieved such great success and will be remembered by so many people in later generations and called a saint. What else can he be dissatisfied with?

Wang Yangming's original wife, Mrs. Zhu, looked extremely pale and almost fell unable to sit still. She was naturally happy that her husband had achieved such success, but she was also sad. However, there was nothing she could do about it. It was her own fault for dying so early. After her death, it was understandable that her husband remarried, but she was still sad.

But she was also somewhat happy that her husband finally had a son. Then she thought of her poor child and burst into tears again.

"People are born, grow old, get sick and die, Saint Wang. Actually, wait until I finish talking before you make plans. Besides, you don't have a son yet," said Li Wu. Wang Yangming's only son and Zhang, whom he married later, were also pitiful people.

When Saint Wang had that son, he was already 55 years old. A few years later, Saint Wang died, leaving behind an orphan and a widow who were bullied by clan members. Fortunately, there were still Saint Wang’s former students who had never forgotten Saint Wang.

In front of the sky, in the dynasties after Wang Yangming, those who knew Wang Yangming just shook their heads and sighed.

Wang Yangming wondered, "What do you mean, little immortal?" He didn't really care about having a son, as he had already adopted a child from the royal family.

"Don't worry, Saint Wang. You will know when I finish telling you the truth," Li Wu said. "In 1527, Lu Su and Wang Shou, the ethnic leaders of Si'en and Tianzhou, rebelled.

At that time, the imperial court governor Yao Tan was unable to pacify the rebellion, so he thought of you, Saint Wang.

The emperor issued an edict to send you, Saint Wang, as the Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi and Governor-General to Guangxi to quell the rebellion.

Saint Wang, you wrote down four sentences of Xinxue teaching on the eve of your departure: The heart is neither good nor evil, but it has good and evil intentions. Knowing good and evil is conscience, and doing good and eliminating evil is the study of things.

These four sentences are called Wang's Four Sentences and have been passed down to later generations.

Huang Wan took this opportunity to write a letter to argue for the achievements of Saint Wang, requesting that you be granted an iron certificate and an annual salary, and that he also list the heroes who had quelled the Ning Wang rebellion. Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty agreed.

In December, Saint Wang arrived in Si'en. Lu Su and Wang Shou had long heard about your efforts to pacify bandits and rebellions, and they were so scared that they surrendered directly and were willing to make meritorious contributions to redeem themselves.

After suppressing the rebellion, Saint Wang, because of the worsening of his lung disease, he wrote a letter to the emperor to retire and return to his hometown, and recommended Lin Fu, the governor of Xunyang, to replace you. Saint Wang, you returned without waiting for the court's approval.

He died of illness on his way back home at the age of 57.

When you were dying, your disciples asked you if you had any last words. You just said, "My heart is bright, what else can I say?"

When the funeral passed through Jiangxi Province, the soldiers and civilians all wore sackcloth clothes and cried and bid farewell to you, Saint Wang.

Previously, he was granted the titles of Special Advancement, Guanglu Dafu, Zhuguo, and Xinjian Earl for suppressing the rebellion of Prince Ning.

Later, Emperor Muzong of the Ming Dynasty posthumously awarded him the title of Marquis of Xinjian and the posthumous title of Wen

Saint Wang, you were enshrined in the Confucius Temple in the 12th year of the Wanli reign.

However, after you die," Li Wu shook his head and sighed, which made Wang Yangming's heart tighten.
