First, the ill-fated Wang Yangming.
In the Ming Dynasty, when Liu Jin was engaged in politics, Wang Yangming was also framed and imprisoned. After a while, Emperor Zhu Houzhao suddenly thought of the performance of many of his ministers in prison. He was in a good mood that day and ordered Liu Jin to let these people go.
So these officials began to be convicted one after another. Wang Yangming was sent to Longchang, Guizhou as a post-official, with no rank, equivalent to the village director.
This is good news for Wang Yangming after all. As long as we bid farewell to the cold and damp cell, only a few people came to see Wang Yangming off under the pressure of Liu Jin Alone, he put his friend's worries and concerns in his heart, left his friend's farewell hand behind him, and left without even looking back at the towering but cold walls of Beijing.
It's a long way to Guizhou. Wang Yangming went south to Hangzhou first. His brother Wang Shouwen, who works in Hangzhou, got the news and quickly came to entertain him. Wang Yangming has lung disease and needs a small amount of arsenic to fight poison with poison. The lung disease that afflicts people always recurs every three to five days. Arsenic was suppressed and Wang Yangming had to stay in Hangzhou for the time being. Soon after, Wang Shouwen suggested that he live in Guo Sheng Temple, because the birds and flowers are fragrant and the environment is excellent, which is suitable for convalescence.
Second, I tricked the Royal Guards into killing me.
Wang Yangming often puzzles others in temples, and his fame is increasing day by day. When the result reached Liu Jin's ears, Liu Jin sent a Royal Guards to kill Wang Yangming.
Wang Yangming heard the wind, thought about it, thought of a plan, and scribbled a suicide note on the table. The content is probably that my Wang Yangming's career is not smooth and his health is not good. I really can't relax, so I am dead today!
Late at night, Wang Shouren quietly left Guo Sheng Temple. All the way to Qiantang River in a panic. Leng Yue has no light and is covered by clouds. What about the Black River? Whoosh Slapping on the river bank. At this moment, the world presented to Wang Yangming is vast. He stood by the river, silently watching the thick fog on the river.
A sad smile appeared on Wang Yangming's face, and the clouds above his head became thicker and thicker, and there was a faint light flashing from it. The muffled thunder and the turbulent sound of the river flooded into his ears, and he took a step towards the turbulent Qiantang River?
It was a cold and rainy morning, and several Royal Guards arrived at the Qiantang River with Wang Yangming's suicide note in their hands. The river was foggy and the visibility was low, but an eagle-eyed Royal Guards saw the shoe floating on the water, and then a Royal Guards found another shoe on the river bank.
It was difficult to search for the body in the heavy rain, so the Royal Guards had to assume that Wang Yangming was dead and spread the news as soon as possible.
When Wang Shouwen heard the bad news, he burst into tears and lamented that his brother's life was not good. His death was lighter than a feather. Wang Yangming's admirers in Hangzhou also burst into tears and lamented the lack of a mentor who could enlighten them.
Of course, Wang Yangming is not dead. The suicide note and shoes are just a golden cicada. That night, he boarded the boat back to his hometown Yuyao. Only later, he had another adventure.
