Synopsis
Introduction to "Yunzhu Double Strategy" Mingzhu, the eldest princess of the Dajing Dynasty, was a treasure that the late emperor held dear to his heart. The year she was born, the late emperor personally planted a piece of Xiangfei bamboo in the imperial garden, so he named her "Ming Bamboo" in the hope that she would be as tough as bamboo and as clear as bamboo. As the eldest daughter of the royal family, Mingzhu was raised in the royal family since she was a child. She was a noble woman, but she was not arrogant at all. She read "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" with the Taifu at the age of six, drafted disaster relief edicts for the late emperor at the age of ten, and single-handedly uncovered the conspiracy of a relative to embezzle military pay at the age of fifteen. The whole court said that "a princess's wisdom is better than that of a man." The late emperor always liked to point at her and smile to his courtiers: "I have Mingzhu. If I have a good appearance, my country will be half as stable as hers." And Shen Ce's name was once a "young general" known to everyone in the capital. He is the son of General Shen Yi. He went on an expedition with his father at the age of thirteen. He rode alone to defeat the enemy camp at the age of seventeen. He became so skilled with a silver spear that he was called the "Jade-faced Spear God" in the army. But three years ago, Shen Yi was accused of "collaboration with the enemy and treason" and was exiled. He died of illness on the way less than half a year later. Although Shen Ce was expelled because of his young age, he was deprived of his title and was reduced to a commoner. He lived by copying books in a dilapidated academy on the outskirts of Beijing. The intersection between the two began with an accident. That day, Mingzhu went incognito to investigate the academic style of the academy, and saw Shen Ce annotating the "General Essentials of Martial Arts" in the corridor. The sharp writing was exactly the same as the border defense strategy she had proposed to the late emperor. She stopped and asked: "Looking at your comments, it seems that you have a lot of insight into the defense of Northern Xinjiang?" He raised his eyes and saw that the vigor of the young general in the past had not diminished, only a little more melancholy: "I know a little bit, but it's just talk on paper." After that, Mingzhu often looked for him in the name of "asking for advice on the art of war." She knew that he had been wronged by his father, so she secretly ordered people to collect old evidence. Seeing that he had no plans to serve the country, she recommended him to join the Ministry of War as a copy clerk, but she secretly paved the way for him - letting him contact the military newspaper and allowing him to observe the proceedings. Shen Ce also lived up to his expectations. He was always able to dig out the key points from complicated documents and solved problems for the court several times: loopholes in the dispatch of grain and grass and blind spots in the border army's defenses were solved by him, and all dangers were turned into safety. Above the court, Mingzhu dealt with the prince and her relatives like a princess, and could always elicit Shen Ce's opinions quietly in her words; below the court, Shen Ce analyzed all forces for her, predicted the situation, and became her most reliable "behind-the-scenes think tank." She helped him wash away the stigma of "the son of a guilty minister" and helped him return to the ranks of the general's disciples; he blocked the cold arrows from the dark for her, and when she was made things difficult for her by the prince, he argued hard as a "common counselor" and refused to give in. When the late emperor was seriously ill, the situation in the court was in turmoil, and the princes fought fiercely for the throne. Mingzhu and Shen Ce joined forces to stabilize the defense of the capital and eliminate the traitors in the court, forcefully pulling the crumbling dynasty back from the edge of overthrow. Before the late emperor died, he looked at the calm and calm Mingzhu beside the throne, and then at the firm-eyed Shen Ce below the steps, and finally issued a last edict that shocked the court and the public: "It is passed down to the eldest princess Mingzhu." On the day when the edict was read out, Mingzhu was standing in the Jinluan Palace in court attire, and Shen Ce was standing at the foot of the steps holding his sword. The moment their eyes met, there was no need to say anything else - he was once a down-and-out young man, and it was she who reached out to pull him up from the dust; she would become a generation of empress, and he would be the sharpest sword in her hand and the warmest support around her. They will protect this country for thousands of miles together. Intention: After reading a lot of big-written articles, I was so angry that I wanted to write one.
