The Song of Baked Cakes" is also known as the "Song of the Emperor's Questions and Answers", which was originally contained in the "Yongle Canon" of the Ming Dynasty, but later because the canon was destroyed in the war, the original text could not be seen, and there was a slight difference between the folk manuscripts.
Legend has it that Ming Taizu ate baked cakes, and Liu Ji was suitable. Taizu inquired about the rise and fall of the future generations and the control of chaos, and answered in hidden words. The reply is a ballad, so it is called "Song of Baked Cakes", "Song of Liu Bowen Baked Cakes", and "Song of the Emperor's Questions and Answers". Liu Bowen's "Song of Baked Cakes", with a total of 1,912 characters, is a "prophecy" ballad written in hidden language, which is widely circulated among the people, has a deep influence, is difficult to understand, and is regarded as a divine writing.
Ming Taizu lived in the inner hall for a day, ate baked cakes, took a sip, and suddenly reported that the national teacher Liu Ji came to see him, and Taizu covered it with a bowl, summoned the base in, and finished the ceremony.
The emperor asked: Sir can know the past and the future, can you know what is in this bowl?
Ji pinched the finger wheel and said: Half like the sun and half like the moon, I was bitten by the golden dragon, and this cake is also. Sure enough.
The emperor immediately asked what would happen in the future: Will the Zhu family enjoy the world for a long time?
Ji said: In the vast number of days, my lord has thousands of sons and grandchildren, why bother asking?
The emperor said: Although there has been a certain rise and fall since ancient times, the world is not the world of one person, only the virtuous can enjoy it. In other words, let's put it simply.
Ji said: Leaking the secret of heaven, the crime of the minister is not light, Your Majesty forgives the death of the minister, and only then dare to play.
The emperor said: Now give Qing a gold medal to avoid death, and seal the Ming National Teacher, Qing can declare the future things one by one, without hiding his head and showing his tail, then there is a meritorious society, and it will be passed down through the ages.
Kisham Enbi. Song said: I will unify the world in the Ming Dynasty, and the south will eventually destroy the north, although the prince is a descendant, and Wenxing is a grandson.
The emperor said: I am now in the capital, build a secret, how to prevent it?
Ji said: Seeing that the capital is consolidated and well defended, the minister seems to have no worries, but he is afraid that swallows will fly.

Ji said: The minister also has this intention. Then he sang again:
Nine-foot red Luo three-foot knife

Eunuchs are noble and do not practice martial arts
Only Hu Ren 28 autumn
In the cabinet of the minister, it will be self-inspected when it is opened.
Interpretation] Classics] Ming Taizu lived in the inner hall for a day, ate baked cakes, took a bite, and suddenly reported that the national teacher Liu Ji was visited, and Taizu was covered with a bowl, and the base was summoned, and the ceremony was completed.
The emperor asked: Sir can know the past and the future, can you know what is in this bowl?
Ji pinched the finger wheel and said: Half like the sun and half like the moon, I was bitten by the golden dragon, and this cake is also. Sure enough.
The emperor immediately asked what would happen in the future: Will the Zhu family enjoy the world for a long time?
Ji said: In the vast number of days, my lord has thousands of sons and grandchildren, why bother asking? [A metaphor for the Ming Dynasty that stops at the grandson Chongzhen of Wanli.] ]
The emperor said: Although there has been a certain rise and fall since ancient times, the world is not the world of one person, only the virtuous can enjoy it. In other words, let's put it simply.
Ji said: Leaking the secret of heaven, the crime of the minister is not light, Your Majesty forgives the death of the minister, and only then dare to play.
The emperor said: Now give Qing a gold medal to avoid death, and seal the Ming National Teacher, Qing can declare the future things one by one, without hiding his head and showing his tail, then there is a meritorious society, and it will be passed down through the ages.
Kisham Enbi. Song said:
I rule the world with the Ming Dynasty.
The south was finally destroyed and the north was prosperous [Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing].
Although the crown prince is a descendant [pre-prince marked before Taizu died of illness. ]
Wenxing Gao Gong Fang is Sun [The prince died, and the edict was passed on to Sun Zhu Yunwen, called Jianwen. Zhu Yunwen's "boiling" character is "fire arch Wenxing", and all things are like fire as the text, which is the help and arch of the two texts; On the fire flame, it is called a high arch. The arch is the meaning of supporting and helping. ]
The emperor said: I am now in the capital, build a secret, how to prevent it?
Ji said: Seeing that the capital is consolidated and well defended, the minister seems to have no worries, but he is afraid that swallows will fly. [I am only afraid that Zhu Di, the king of Yan, will come to attack.] ]
With three songs, he said:
This city is full of personal conquest [because the strength of the feudal kings of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang is great, after Jianwen ascended the throne, Zhu Di rebelled in the name of "Qingjun side", and then there was Emperor Jianwen Imperial Driving Qin Expedition. ]
A courtyard of mountains and rivers Yongle Ping [Emperor Jianwen won first and then defeated, the soldiers of King Yan came to the city, the emperor fled, King Yan ascended the throne, built the name "Yongle", and the world was peaceful from then on. ]
Bald people come to Wenmoyuan [There is a monk Yao Guangxiao, who made meritorious contributions to Zhu Di's planning, Zhu Di gave him ** beauty, did not accept, still be a monk, and later edited with Xie Jin equal to Wenyuan with the main "Yongle Canon". ]
Half of the heroes return to their hometowns [This sentence is inverted with the previous sentence "Bald people come to Wenmo Yuan". It means that the reason why Zhu Di succeeded in seizing the throne was because Zhu Dynasty to Jianwen ascended the throne, most of the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty returned to their hometowns, and there was no one in the court. ]
The remnants of the northern Hulu [In the fourteenth year of Ming orthodoxy (1449), the Mengwara camp also committed the border robbery and fell into Datong. ]
The eunuch Wang Zhen took advantage of the power and wanted to take advantage of this to make a contribution, so he instigated Yingzong to drive the Qinzheng expedition, and Yingzong ordered his younger brother Zhu Qiyu to guard the capital, and then led an army of 500,000 with Wang Zhen to conquer the Qin, intending to win in one fell swoop and win the peace of the world. ]
Miscalculation of the hero does not dare to admonish [The miscalculation of the hero is the inversion of the miscalculation of the hero.] "Meritorious hero" refers to the eunuch Wang Zhen. Wang Zhen once read with Yingzong when he was a child, because he was witty, he was happy with the young emperor, and he did "meritorious" reading. Yingzong was pro-government, Wang Zhen was favored, and was jokingly called "hero" by Liu Bowen. At that time, the heroes miscalculated, resulting in the defeat of the Ming army, and they were killed by the generals of the headquarters; The ministers Yu Qian and others once admonished Qin Zhengji, Yingzong was young and vigorous, and replied: "I am the lord of a country, and it is my duty to defend the country." So the ministers did not dare to admonish again. ]
The old spirit covers the horror of the Lord [Wang Zhen does not know the military, and the plan to lure the enemy deep in the first place, the front army was defeated, and he had no choice but to withdraw the army, and went to the night camp of Tumubao, and was killed by the cavalry, and the Ming army was defeated, and Yingzong was captured. Because the civil fort is a high hill, there are many tombs, so it is called "the old spirit covers the soul of the lord". ]
The national pressure Ruiyun seven years long [Yingzong was captured, Yu Qian and other important ministers established Zhu Qiyu as the king, was Emperor Jing, known as Daizong in history, and Yingzong was restored after reigning for seven years. Emperor Jing is a wise gentleman, so he is called "Ruiyun". ]
Hu people dare not harm virtuous [Although Yingzong is young and vigorous, he intends to protect his family and defend the country, and he has not cooled the hearts of his subjects, and he is also virtuous, and there are virtuous lords in the court, so he did not dare to harm Yingzong first. ]
Send the golden dragon back to the old [A year later, he was also defeated and negotiated, Rong Yingzong returned, was enshrined as the emperor, and lived in the South Palace; In February of the eighth year of Jingtai (1457), Shiheng, Marquis of Wuqing, and others, took advantage of Emperor Jing's serious illness to conspire to welcome the restoration of Yingzong and succeeded. ]
Lingming Sun and Moon Zhen Frontier [Yingzong was able to return to the dynasty, thanks to the Empress Dowager Sun's clear decision, allowing Yuqian and other important ministers to ask, set up the king as the emperor, in order to consolidate the national foundation, and then transferred troops and food to consolidate the city defense, and finally negotiated peace because of invincibility. "Day" is more virtuous than Daizong; "Moon" refers to the Empress Dowager Sun, who is broken. ]
The emperor said: What is the world at this time?
Ji said: The world is in chaos!
The emperor said: Who is there a mess in the world?
Ji said: There is a strange hunger and cold in the world [In the next few sentences, it is said that Zhang Juzheng, a famous minister of the generation, but it will take some trouble to understand. In the first half of Zhang Juzheng's life, there were some weird legends: Zhang Juzheng was brilliant when he was a child and was known as a prodigy. It is said that on the eve of his birth, his ancestor dreamed of flooding the hall, and asked the servant in the dream where the water came from, and the servant said, "It flows out of Zhang Shaobao's pure land". (I dreamed that his grandson was at least safeguarded, and had a lot of wealth and great trouble, and then it turned out). It is also rumored that Zhang Juzheng participated in the Jingzhou government examination in the fifteenth year of Jiajing, and the prefect Li Shiao dreamed that God would seal the jade seal and order a boy. The next day, he was selected and ranked first. Looking at it, as seen in the dream, it is a great joy. Juzheng's original name was Bai Gui, and the prefect said: "Bai Gui is not famous, he will be the emperor's teacher one day, and the rest will be ordered by the emperor God." So he changed his name. There are also weird sayings, which will not be recorded here. The four words "the world is hungry and cold" in the sentence alludes to another paragraph about Zhang Juzheng's experience. Zhang Juzheng was a scholar in the 26th year of Jiajing, edited and revised for the Hanlin Academy in 28 years, and then served as a worker, criminal, and household three books, and resigned after a few years of official officials and returned to his hometown, and lived a pastoral farming life for six years, and was able to have in-depth contact with the local poor, so he could understand the suffering of the poor in the world. "There are strange things about hunger and cold in the world", the implicit meaning is that he can know and sympathize with the suffering of the poor people in the world, including Zhang Juzheng, who has many strange legends.
Dongliang Longde Infant [Zhang Juzheng is known as the Ming Phase, the pillar of the country; He is an emperor teacher, and he has very strict requirements for the young emperor Divine Sect, or even adds power. Longde is Longwei, Yu Zhang Juzheng was in the emperor's time, although he was a young protector of the country, but he exercised the power of the emperor and raised some dragon energy. Once, when Shenzong mispronounced a word, Zhang immediately asked him to repeat it loudly in front of his ministers, which means "riding a baby" (insulting the upper and lower called multiplication. Although Zhang Juzheng is a minister, he is the emperor's teacher, but the situation is on the king, so he uses the word "multiplication". ）]
The forbidden palace is wide and the task is to walk sideways [When Zhang Juzheng was the emperor, because he had an alliance with the eunuch Feng Bao of the inner palace, he was the master of the palace ban inside and outside, so he walked freely inside and outside the palace ban. ]
Growing up the golden dragon is peaceful ["Growing up the golden dragon" does not refer to the young emperor after he grows up, but it means that at this stage of the young emperor's growth, that is, the period when Zhang Juzheng was the emperor's teacher, the inside and outside were quiet, and the world was peaceful. ]
Sophisticated Jin Jing is especially strong [This said that Shenzong grew up to be pro-governmental, and the factors were often obscene, although he ascended the throne, he was lazy to take care of the government, and he was still in the harem. ]
According to legend, Kunyu Jilongtang [Kunyu, the jade of Kunshan, this refers to the jade seal, a metaphor for the prostitution of the gods, and passed this habit to his heir, the crown prince Zhu Changluo. Zhu Changluo was born by the palace maid, was ostracized when Empress Zheng was favored, depressed and fell into obscenity, and after ascending the throne, he enjoyed the beauty offered by Empress Zheng, and soon the patient was terminally ill and died in January and returned to the West. ]
Eunuch appointed Bao Sheji [Xizong Zhu succeeded to the throne by the school, the eunuch Wei Zhongxian was favored, Zhangdongchang (secret agency), and the "Fengsheng Lady" Keshi (Xizong's nursing mother) against the food (the eunuch and the palace maid ate and lived together and called the food), the two combined to become a traitor, causing chaos inside and outside the palace, and the power leaned towards the government and the opposition. ]
Eight Thousand Female Ghosts Chaogang ["Eight Thousand Female Ghosts" becomes the word "Wei", that is, Wei Zhongxian. Wei Zhongxian doesn't know books, he has a strong memory, he is suspicious and vicious, he is easy to be foolish, and he kills righteous people; The Hakka family is obscene and ruthless. The emperor was convinced of these two people, and their forces were arrogant and their bad deeds were getting worse day by day. In history, in the second year of the Apocalypse, Wang Ji, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was removed from office and reduced for impeaching Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka crimes. In the third year of the Apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian asked Wu Eunuch (Xi Wu Eunuch) to refine firearms and strengthen his strength. "Concubine Yu's Zhang family is pregnant, and the Hakka family killed her. "Queen Zhang's pregnancy, the Hakka family aborted her pregnancy, and the emperor had no heirs. "Trap Feng Guiren again and put him to death; trapped into a concubine, confined; The Trapping Light Sect chose to serve the Zhao family, was confined and starved to death. It was the winter of that year, and Wei Zhongxian was in charge of the East Factory. In the fourth year of the Apocalypse, Yang Lian, the deputy capital of the left, impeached Wei Zhongxian for 24 crimes, and wrote to more than 70 people, including Wei Dazhong, Chen Liangxun, Xu Yuqing, Funing Hou Zhu Guobi, Nanjing Military Department Shangshu Chen Daoheng, and Shilang Yue Yuansheng, discussing Wei Zhongxian's lawlessness, and was called the Donglin Party at the time. Wei Zhongxian hated it deeply, and after that, he created a series of unjust prisons, killing and framing unscrupulously, Geng Zhongzhi was cut from prison (removed), the group of small people welcomed, arrogant, and the ministers did not dare to call him by his name. Officials from all over the country competed to build the Wei ancestral hall, and for a time, its ancestral hall was all over the world. ]
The emperor said: What is the chaos of the world of 8,000 female ghosts?
Ji said: Zhongliang killed Bang Rushan [said that Wei Zhongxian harmed people widely, and the Donglin Party was all killed. ]
Nothing to do at the water's edge [This is a grievance case created by Wei Zhongxian in the fifth year of the Apocalypse. "Water" refers to Wang Wenyan, a scholar in the middle school (next to the word Wang); "Waterside" refers to the Donglin Party members who were unjustly killed together in the Wang case; The pond is a pit, and the pit people harm people; It is strange and takes the meaning of "setting up a name and fabricating a crime". Wang Wenyan, a scholar in Shizhong, offended Wei Zhongxian, Wei first cut his court staff, and then arrested him and sent him to prison, ordering him to falsely accuse himself and accuse Yang Lian and others of being bribed by Xiong Tingbi, the former Liaodong Economic Strategy, Wang refused, and was tortured to death; Wei immediately forged his confession, framed Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and others with 20,000 silver each, Gu Dazhang 40,000, and the rest of the cadres with 10,000 or thousands, and wrongfully beheaded Xiong Tingbi, and his eldest son Xiong Zhaojiao killed himself. Yang Lian, the deputy capital Yushi, Zhou Chaorui, Zuo Guangdou and other six people** were imprisoned and tortured to death; Yuan Huazhong, Gu Dazhang and more than a dozen others were cut down and forced to hand over "dirty" silver. And all that. ]
Save the true flesh and blood of Jiaolong [History: One day Empress Zhang was reading a book, and Xizong approached and asked, "What book is the queen reading?" The reply was "Zhao Gaochuan", which was intended to remind the emperor to be vigilant against "Zhao Gao" around him. Wei Gelding hated the queen because of this, and conspired with the Hakka family to fall into the queen's womb, and the imperial doctor secretly rescued the little prince. ]
Poor father and son are difficult to be ["difficult to be" means difficult to be obedient (or difficult to say). The father and son of the imperial doctor were killed after leaving the palace].
The emperor said: Could it be that father and son are fighting for the country?
Ji said: Definitely.
Hanging a curved ruler on the tree [The word "Zhu" in the Ming Dynasty is a curved ruler on the wood, and the "curved ruler" means that the Zhu Dynasty is more bent and killed. ]
In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng established a government in Xi'an, and the country name was "Dashun", and the big tomorrow ended here. ]
So far, the world is over.
The emperor said: What is the future?
Ji said: Ten thousand sons and ten thousand grandchildren are layered [there are many descendants of Wanli].
Ancestral mountain on the shell clothes line ["Zongshan" for Chong, "on the shell" into the word Zhen, Chongzhen. Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen went to the country in the coal mountain. )
The prince is no longer in the court [The prince of the Ming Dynasty fled in chaos, and there was no court to bow down. ]
Eighteen children to the upward movement [Eighteen children refer to Zhu Cihong, the crown prince of the Chongzhen Dynasty. Chongzhen is the seventeenth dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, to the prince Zhu Cihong ranked eighteen, because he has not ascended the throne, so he is called eighteen children. It is one of the 64 hexagrams, the main tongue and other things, which refers to the prince's entrustment by Emperor Chongzhen when he was in danger in the Ming Dynasty. In order to keep his lineage, Emperor Chongzhen took the crown prince, King Yong, and King Dingling eunuchs to their respective grandfather's houses for refuge. Before leaving, Emperor Chongzhen personally changed into the old clothes he found for them, and said to them with a heavy heart: "Daming Sheji is about to end, this is really my father's sin, but my father has done his best." The princes are still princes today, and tomorrow they will be the people. When parting from the war, you must remember to be incognito, don't show up, call the seniors when you see the old, and call the uncle and uncle when you see the young... The prince and they went on the road according to this instruction, so it was called "redeeming the upward line". ]
The hexagram says that Muxia is the head ["Kinoxia" is "Li", the head is the leader, the leader of the rebel army (or anti-thief). ]
Eyes on the knife and pentoding ["Eyes on the knife" is "self"; "Yi Wu Ding" is "Cheng". Two anagrams: Li Zicheng. ]
The world is heavy on literature rather than force
Heroes and heroes always have no success [These two sentences say that the Ming Dynasty has been in power since Zhu Di established the government, and the style of writing is flourishing, first there is the grand event of the compilation of the "Yongle Canon", and then there are the famous three Yang in history. ]
Wuzi has been ugly and chaotic like hemp, and two years are the ugly years of Wuzi. Because of Wu Sangui's dedication to the Qing Dynasty, the Qing people entered the customs like a bamboo, but they were also resisted by the Han officials and the Han people, and when Wu Zi was ugly, Hao Shaoqi, Li Guo and He Tengjiao, Qu Shiyun (si) of the army, successively defeated the Qing soldiers in Yuezhou and Quanzhou, and recovered Hengyang, Changsha and other places. At this time, the peasant army in Guangdong, Sichuan and other places also rose up to respond, and the Ming generals who had already surrendered to the Qing army, such as Jin Shenghuan in Jiangxi and Li Chengdong in Guangdong, betrayed the Qing army again. In the rear of the Qing army, the Yuyuan Army, the rebel army of Luliangshan, and the Guanzhong Peasant Army all launched extensive offensives, and the Hui people of Shaanxi, who had participated in the peasant uprising, also held an anti-Qing uprising under the leadership of Mi Layin and Ding Guodong, and the first anti-Qing upsurge appeared in the Southern Ming Dynasty. The past two years have been really "chaotic". ]
Everywhere the people are not at home [The people who are fighting are fighting, the people who are hiding are hiding, so it is said that "everywhere the people are not at home."] ]
Encounter a famine
Ping'an Town Guards Osmanthus [These two sentences are to say that there are two things that are key to such a situation: one is because in the year of Chongzhen's accession to the throne, the great famine in Shaanxi led the hungry people to rise up, and Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong quickly formed a climate and caused the Ming court to die; Second, because Emperor Chongzhen mistakenly used Wu Sangui as the commander of the town, as a result, he led the Qing soldiers into the customs because of his own selfishness, and helped the Qing Dynasty to conquer the south, from the "Pingxi Bo" of the Ming Dynasty to the "King of Pingxi" of the Qing Dynasty, which is the "good osmanthus" that Emperor Chongzhen admired. ]
The emperor said: In the event of a famine, the usual clown [grass kou], the world is already there?
Ji said: Western thieves are in chaos
No one is loyal and dares to admonish [On the first day of the first month of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng established a government in Xi'an, the country name is "Dashun", and then set out to conquer Beijing, invincible, and captured Taiyuan and Datong again and again, and drove straight in, and hit Changping on March 16, and the situation was critical. Emperor Chongzhen urgently summoned his ministers to discuss countermeasures, but the ** present were all frightened, no one could say a word, all people could do was to cry relatively loudly, and Chongzhen usually used himself for the king's fortitude, and he couldn't know people, and he couldn't use loyalty in the court. This is the response of "Western thieves are in chaos, and no one is loyal and dares to admonish".
Glad to see the shame of his descendants [Emperor Chongzhen urgently summoned the crown prince Zhu Cihong, Yongwang Zhu Cijiong, and Dingwang Zhu Cijiong to him, and entrusted the eunuchs to their respective grandfathers' homes, in order to leave their own blood, and asked not to forget to avenge their parents, which is "happy to see the descendants". Emperor Chongzhen and the eunuchs tried to escape from Beijing in disguise, but to no avail, and had no choice but to hang themselves in the coal mountain. The eunuchs around him on his deathbed: after death, cover his face with his hair to show that he has no face to see his ancestors and ancestors underground. This is the "day of shame" (Yili: the day is the king, the father). ]
Decline and early luck** Although Chongzhen took the throne with great efforts, how could Daming at this time, his luck was already declining, and there was no way to help, and Chongzhen was in the coal mountain early in the morning of March 19, 17 years**.
The month is missing two two auspicious in the middle ["two" and "two" both refer to the two strokes in the middle of the word "month", and the month is missing two and adds auspiciousness into "week". This Zhou character refers to Wu Sangui, because Wu Sangui later rebelled against the Qing Dynasty in Yunnan and called the emperor, the country name is "Zhou". ]
The traitor sent the traitor to the west and the east [Li Zicheng entered Beijing, and in order to loot the people's wealth, he arrested all the officials and wealthy households to extract confessions, including Wu Xiang, the father of the general soldier Wu Sangui. Because Wu Sangui still had strength, someone (i.e., a traitor) offered Li Zicheng a plan and asked Wu Xiang to write a letter to his son to persuade Wu Sangui to surrender. Although Wu Sangui did not disdain to join the peasant army, he wanted to take the opportunity to go to Beijing to see his family, especially his concubine Chen Yuanyuan. I didn't want my family to report again, saying that the lord of the family was beaten and his property was plundered by thieves, and Chen Yuanyuan was also robbed by Li Zicheng's general Liu Zongmin. Wu Sangui was furious when he heard this, saying that he would not be a man if he did not avenge this revenge, so he wrote a letter to the Guanwai Qing **, willing to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. Li Zicheng saw that Wu Sangui refused to come to vote, so he waved his troops to Shanhaiguan, not wanting to be defeated by Wu Sangui and the Qing army on both sides, and hurriedly returned to Beijing to ascend the throne. Li Zicheng went east and west because of the traitor (I think this traitor must be an insider in the city) and went east and west, so it is called "the traitor sent the west and the east". ]
The Yellow River wades through the troubled Golden Gate
Running plum blossoms on the nine-fold [These two sentences are the previous supplements, which are to say that the reason why Wu Sangui was stationed at Shanhaiguan was because Li Zicheng crossed the Yellow River to make trouble in Beijing. Wu Sangui was originally stationed in Ningyuan (now Xingcheng) north of Shanhaiguan, when he entered Beijing to escort in response to the edict, entered Shanhaiguan, and heard that Emperor Chongzhen had died in Coal Mountain, so he stationed troops here. ]
The emperor said: Could it be that the plum blossom bandits are making trouble? How about having someone guard it from now on?
Ji said: Definitely.
Moved south to the north and settled peacefully
Assisting the emperor has Niu Xing [These two sentences describe two major events before and after the Ming Dynasty: one is that Zhu Di ascended the throne from Beijing to Nanjing and became the emperor, and moved the capital to Beijing more than ten years later (moved south to north). Zhu Di's determination of the capital of Beijing is conducive to consolidating the border in the north of the town and controlling the Central Plains, and it is said that "moving south to the north and setting peace in the north". The second is to imply that Li Zicheng is the emperor Poming, and the main adviser who assists Li Zicheng is Niu Jinxing. Niu Venus is good at reading, raised people in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, is familiar with heavenly officials and the art of war, plans and sets strategies for Li Zicheng, and appoints Li Zicheng Dashun Mansion Zuofu and Tianyou Pavilion University Scholar. ]
Transported to six hundred and half [divine revelation: since the advent of the three religions (after the Han Dynasty), the emperors of the previous dynasties were able to educate their subjects with the three religions as usual, and they could get the number of six hundred, but the actual situation was often much inferior, and the difference in income was also large, the Tang, Song, and Ming dynasties all belonged to three hundred cases (only six and a half of the six), so Liu Bowen said "and half". ]
Mengqi has the word people are frightened [Legend Chongzhen Emperor once had a dream, in the dream saw a god in the air wrote a big "have" word for him, the courtiers said more auspicious signs, have congratulated, only a eunuch said that it was unlucky, said: I called the "Ming", and the word "have" is half of the "Ming" (the word "big" to put the pen, the word "Ming" to the "day" that becomes the word "have". ), showing that the Ming Dynasty will no longer be complete, a great omen. This is "Mengqi 'has' the word 'people are frightened". ]
The emperor said: There is a 600-year-old country, and my heart is enough, but there is still half hope? Tianjiqing is difficult to say, why not leave a bag of tips, hide it in the library, pass it down from generation to generation, don't leave it behind, and open it when there is a difficulty, but what?
Ji said: The minister also has this intention.
Then he sang again: Nine-foot red Luo three-foot knife [Red Luo, female color also, a knife on the head of the color word. ]
Persuade the monarch to travel freely [The eunuch (Wei Zhongxian) is in power, and advises the emperor to have fun in time and enjoy the beauty. ]
The eunuchs are noble and do not cultivate martial arts [Chongzhen is rigid and self-serving, can not know people, does not believe in hundreds of officials, and uses eunuchs as messengers. The people used cannot govern the country with literature, and the country cannot be safeguarded by force. ]
These three sentences summarize the reasons for the decline of the Ming Dynasty since the beginning of the Divine Sect. ）
Only Hu people 28 autumn [Hu people refer to the Houjin (Qing people). Houjin founded the country in 1616 and continued to improve himself, until 1644, when the Qing army entered the customs, a total of 28 years. ]
In the cabinet of the minister, it will be self-inspected when it is opened.
