第四十二章天下大势(3/4)

                                                                              小弟学文不成，学武也不成！后来，听老师说，读万卷书，行万里路。因此，我便以行走天下为已任，著一部前无古人后无来者的游记之书。”“马兄高材，如此定能名扬天下。”我又道：“照马兄这么说你对这天下奇文轶事，消息怪闻都很精通了？”“不敢，不敢。
                                                                                                                                                                我对天下之事也只是略知一二。”我知道他这是客气谦虚的说法，不由对他大感兴趣，又问他：“马兄谦虚，你行走天下，见识广博，不知可否向我说说天下大势呀？”马元一听，神色一黯，叹气说：“哎，现在我大天朝可谓是内忧外患，漏洞百出啊？”“怎么说？”马元放下筷子，正了正身子，开始了长篇大论：“当今正德皇帝于十二年前即位。皇上他文治武功，无一不出类拔萃，历经七年精心图治终于使得天下百姓人人有饭吃，人人有衣穿。
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           可不想五年前突然搬出皇宫自封镇国公，建豹房，宿宣府，从此不再早朝。要不是被皇太后所逼，在天下人面前立下永不能离开京城的话，皇上他早就四出游历去了。
                                                                                                                                                                因而他只能在豹房宣府广招美女，日日宣淫，莺歌燕舞，旦夕而伐，并将朝政大事交给太监刘金处理。刘金此人为人阴险狡猾，一得权后把持朝政排除异己，将一个大好江山在短短五年内就搞得个乌烟瘴气。
                                                                                                                                                                为了讨好皇上，于全国各地广收美女又为扩建豹房增收各地重税。现在终于惹得百姓怨声载道，民怨沸腾，天下离心。
                                                                                                                                                                诸王震怒，其中以宁王为最，他打着‘除奸宦，清君测’的名义要连合诸王，逼皇上下旨诛除奸贼刘金。没想到被那太监刘金事先察之，先行向皇上进谗诬告宁王谋反。
                                                                                                                                                                龙颜大怒，逼得宁王不得不反。此事天下人皆之，唯只是瞒了皇上一人而已。
