Seeing that Sister Wu seemed to be going to continue, Xu Yan hurriedly interjected: "Hey, Sister Wu, look at this place, where is there a place to sell drinks nearby? After walking for a long time, I'm thirsty, why don't we leave quickly?"
Wu Fangsi smiled and said, "Is Mr. Xu thirsty?" Hey, this is a coincidence, I know that there is a shop in the old capital nearby, and the tofu brain and bean juice made are very authentic, this is a special delicacy in the capital, or I will take you two over to try it?"
"Okay, okay!" Now, as long as Sister Wu can shut up and not mention the matter of Yongle and Zhu Di, he is willing to let Xu Yan eat pig food, he hurriedly said: "Then let's go, is it far from here?"
"Not far away, in an alley next to Nanchizi, everyone in the old capital knows that place......"
"Then go, let's go, don't delay. โ
Xu Yan looked impatient, Zhu Youxiang glanced at him lightly, smiled slightly, but the steps under her feet were still unhurried, she said to Sister Wu for a long time: "Sister Wu, just now you mentioned His Majesty Yongle, that is, His Royal Highness King Yan before...... Do you know anything about him?"
Hearing Zhu Youxiang's words, Xu Yan's back suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and he couldn't wait to pounce and cover Sister Wu's mouth.
Wu Fang didn't expect so much, just because this little foreign girl wanted to understand the history of China and the history and culture of the capital, she said with a smile: "Oh, speaking of Ming Chengzu, his fate with our old capital is great."
As for Zhu Di, he is the fourth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty. Originally. It is not his turn to sit in this world, when Ming Chengzu was still the king of Yan, at that time the capital of our Ming Dynasty was still Jinling. King Yan is only a general in charge of defending against Mongolia in the border fortress, and his fief and palace are in our capital - at that time, King Yan will form a fate with our capital!
At that time, the crown prince selected by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, was his eldest son Zhu Biao, but Zhu Biao was not blessed and died before he succeeded to the throne, so Zhu Yuanzhang set Zhu Biao's son Zhu Yunwen to be the emperor. At this time, King Yan was not convinced. He pondered - you say that this emperor's father is too partial, right? The eldest brother Zhu Biao is older than me, and he is a sister-in-law, and his character is good and fair, so he succeeded to the throne as the emperor. We were all convinced, but the eldest brother died, and I was the most capable among the remaining sons, but Dad, you didn't choose me, but chose my little nephew Zhu Yunwen, who had not dried upโwell, from that time on, King Yan began to be dissatisfied and secretly made a fuss.
Later, Zhu Yuanzhang died. His grandson Zhu Yunwen became the emperor, although Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was psychologically unconvinced, but there was no way. He is the emperor and has soldiers in his hands, but King Yan still has to pinch his nose and admit it. But the problem is that Zhu Yunwen, a young man, is not satisfied with being the emperor, he sees so many uncles occupying so many fiefs. His emperor's territory was cut to pieces, and he couldn't even collect taxes. So he began to cut the feudal domain -- what is the cutting of the feudal domain? The cutting of the feudal domain is to snatch back all the soldiers and horses of those uncles' territory, and uncle, you should honestly go home and receive a salary!
In the end, the cutting of the feudal domain was cut to the head of King Yan, and now, King Yan was annoyed - Zhu Yunwen, you kid is too much, you have to smash your uncle's job? Since you have been forced to a dead end, if you don't do anything, King Yan will rebel, and this is the "Battle of Jingjing" in our history.
At that time, Zhu Yunwen's court had a large army and the territory of the whole country, but King Yan only had a small piece of territory in our capital, and there were few soldiers and horses...... Everyone is not optimistic about King Yan, but King Yan is lucky, destiny, and luck, so he used so many soldiers to defeat the Zhu Yunwen court with millions of soldiers, and then ascended the throne as the emperor, which became the famous Yongle Emperor in our history. After King Yan ascended the throne, he ordered the capital to be moved from Jinling to our capital and began to expand our capital - it should be said that many of the foundations of our city were ......laid by King Yan at that time."
Sister Wu said it vividly and vividly, seeing Zhu Youxiang listening attentively, she smiled and said: "If Miss Zhu is interested in this history of our country, you might as well go to see the Ming Tombs another day? Of course, if Miss Zhu is willing, I can also accompany you. โ
Zhu Youxiang's expression was faint, and she said calmly: "If you have the opportunity, you must go to pay respects." When the time comes, Sister Lao Wu will lead the way. โ
"Hehe, Miss Zhu is so polite!"
Xu Yan followed beside him, sweating profusely when he heard it, and his mind was chaotic, and it became a mess.
After looking at the square, it was already noon. Sister Wu is an old Beijinger, she led Xu Yan and Zhu Youxiang to walk through the alley, and really ate the time-honored tofu brain and bean juice in a small shop in the alley - when drinking soy milk, Sister Wu was very knowledgeable, knowing that most young boys and girls were going to whisper some sweet words in private, so she found another table to eat by herself, leaving Xu Yan and Zhu Youxiang to be alone.
To be honest, the taste of bean juice in the capital is a bit weird, Xu Yan is a little unaccustomed to eating it, but Zhu Youxiang likes that taste very much, eats it with relish, drinks two bowls in one go, looking at Zhu Youxiang's calm appearance, Xu Yan's heart is in a mess, and he really doesn't know what to say.
Seeing that Xu Yan only ate half a bowl of bean juice and stopped, Zhu Youxiang was a little surprised: "Childe, but you don't have a good appetite?"
Xu Yan pushed the bowl with a wry smile, and he said, "The mood is too chaotic to eat." Xuan Yun, you ...... But you know?"
Zhu Youxiang bowed slightly, she didn't look at Xu Yan, she just looked at the street in the distance from afar, as if she was distracted. Her voice was also a little confused, as if it came from a long distance: "Gongzi, in the history of your country, have there been dynasties such as Qin, Han, Tang, Song, and Yuan?"
Xu Yan nodded: "Yes." โ
"In the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, there was a hero, he was born in a peasant family in Guzhuang Village, Zhongli, Haozhou, and saw that the Great Yuan regime was rotten and the people were not able to make a living, so that the world was in turmoil. This heroic man stepped forward, joined the Red Turban Rebellion, and rose from the recklessness. Commanded the rebel army, successively defeated Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng, Fang Guozhen, Kuku Timur and other heroes, and finally unified China. Restoration of Han Tong - Xu Gongzi, may I ask, who is this hero?"
Xu Yan smiled bitterly, his history is very poor, if Zhu Youxiang asks him other historical questions, he may not be able to answer them, but this question is too simple. Even elementary school students understand. He said, "This person should be Zhu Yuanzhang, right?"
Zhu Youxiang withdrew his gaze from the distance. She looked at Xu Yan squarely and said lightly: "Young Master Xu, you are presumptuous. His Majesty Taizu's name, how can you call it directly?" her tone was light. It doesn't look very harsh, and even shows a bit of weakness.
"Xu Gongzi, this person, you call him...... Zhu Yuanzhang, and in our dynasty, he was honored as Taizu, and the year name was Hongwu. Taizu held a three-foot Qingfeng, swept the world and laid the foundation of my Chinese millennium. For thousands of years, merit will not be extinguished. โ
Then, both Xu Yan and Zhu Youxiang stopped talking. Zhu Youxiang's gaze wandered. Drifting, as if she had a great confusion hidden in her heart.
She looked at Xu Yan and said hesitantly: "So, China is the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty is China?
Xu Yan said "hey". "I think," he said, "that's how it should beโactually." I found out that something was wrong before, but I didn't dare to tell you because I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to accept it. But looking at Xuan Yun, you don't seem to be surprised today. โ
Zhu Youxiang sighed: "Actually, I also discovered the strange thing earlier. On that day, the prince gave me a letter map, and I looked at the topography and landform of the letter map, and the outline of the coast, but it was very similar to the ancient Shenzhou of our dynasty - well, it should be said that it was exactly the same. At that time, I began to be suspicious, and I paid attention to it in many ways, but I was already aware of it. โ
Her smile was a little pale and bleak: "When I first arrived in your place, I thought that this place should be a certain fetter state of the empire, but there is no official mansion and garrison of our dynasty here, and there is no trace of our dynasty...... But I was still very happy at that time, thinking that I had discovered a new barbarian tribe, and thought that it would be a great achievement to be able to bring this place into the king's kingdom and submit to the empire.
It's ridiculous that I, because I have such a delusion in my heart, I completely ignore many abnormalities...... In fact, I also discovered that something was wrong, the language used by Gongzier is exactly the same as the script of our dynasty, and I can talk to you directly without translation, at that time, I should have thought, how can there be such a barbarian tribe in the world, and actually use the words and language of our dynasty? But I also deceived myself, thinking that this is because the sages of the Ming Dynasty had been here before and spread the civilization and writing of the Ming Dynasty, so there was such a similarity.
Childe, when did you find out that something was wrong?"
Xu Yan sighed: "Actually, Xuan Yun, I'm the same! When I first met you, I felt that something was wrong, at that time, I thought you were an alien from the aliens, but you look exactly like us, you are a complete human being, and your language is the same as ours - I once consulted a professor, and he told me that the creatures that evolved on other planets should have the same appearance as us and use the same words as us, and the probability of such a thing existing, that is zero." If someone looks exactly like us and speaks exactly the same thing, then, there is no doubt that this is definitely us earthlings, creatures that evolved and grew up in the same environment as us, and cannot be aliens.
Because of his help, when thinking about Xuan Yun's origin, I can be regarded as on the right path and have not gone astray. It's just that...... That conclusion is too incredible, I can't believe it-" Looking at Zhu Youxiang's eyes, Xu Yan smiled apologetically: "Of course, I don't dare to tell you." โ
Zhu Youxiang slowly bowed his head: "I understand-before, I always thought that I had entered the wrong teleportation light gate and teleported me into the wrong space...... Now it seems that in your world, Gongzi, the Ming Dynasty is no longer there. โ
Zhu Youxiang smiled bitterly: "Time and space, this is the most mysterious thing in this universe, which cannot be speculated or remedied. In the face of this secret, even the cultivators of our generation are small and powerless, and can only follow the waves and be at the mercy of them.
Xu Gongzi, you say, China and the Ming Dynasty, our generation are both descendants of the Ming Dynasty, why are they so different? Where did the two sides of us start to diverge, so that the difference between the two sides became more and more huge, and in the end it turned out to be unrecognizable?"
Xu Yan shook his head: "I'm not engaged in history, Xuan Yun, you ask me, and I don't know how to answer you." However, according to my speculation, from the Qin, Han, Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, and other dynasties to Zhu Yuanzhang - uh, sorry, until that period of history of your country's Taizu, we have the same history on both sides. But since the Taizu of your country, the history of our two sides has begun to be different.
I think that if there is a difference, it should be that at this time period, there must have been something that changed the course of the history of the Ming Dynasty and the fate of the Ming Dynasty - uh, I'm sorry, in our case, the Gui Dynasty was destroyed by the Qing army in 1644. In your world, the Ming Dynasty escaped the catastrophe of 1644 unharmed, still maintained its original civilization, and has been thriving, and even in some places, it has developed more powerful and advanced than us. โ
Zhu Youxiang nodded slowly, she avoided Xu Yan's gaze, and looked thoughtful and preoccupied.
Looking at her, Xu Yan also sighed - of course he knew that now, what Zhu Youxiang was most concerned about was not why the history of the two planes had become different, but now, what she was concerned about should be something more practical and related to her personal interests: could she still return to the Ming Empire?
Xu Yan didn't know what method Zhu Youxiang wanted to use to go back, but how did Zhu Youxiang come over, he had heard what she had just said: the teleportation light gate failed, and she was sent to the earth in another plane, could it be that Zhu Youxiang was looking forward to the teleportation light gate malfunctioning again, and then sending her back to Daming?
Xu Yan didn't know what the teleportation light gate was and what principle it worked on, but, with intuition, Xu Yan felt that the risk of this kind of thing was too great, and it was similar to nine deaths and a lifetime - when the teleportation light gate failed last time, he did not teleport Zhu Youxiang to the universe but to the only planet that can survive, the earth, which is already Zhu Youxiang's great blessing, and he just bought the five million jackpot for two yuan, which is an unavoidable luck. If Zhu Youxiang still expects the teleportation light gate to malfunction again, but it happens to send her back to the Ming Empire - then it is better to expect to win the five million jackpot every day by spending two yuan to buy lottery tickets!
Xu Yan said sincerely: "Xuan Yun, I don't think you have to worry about this at all. With us, you have a legal household registration and status, and you have a very good ability - well, and me.
In the past few days, you should have also discovered that the standard of living in our world should be no worse than that of your Daming, everyone is the same kind of Chinese, the same language, the same customs and culture, you should be able to adapt to our life, and you can live happily on the earth......
If, if you will, I'll ...... I...... I'm willing to ......."
Xu Yan muttered, "Marry you, raise you" The four words came to his lips, but his face was red and his ears were red, and he really didn't have the courage to say these words.
Zhu Youxiang lowered her eyes slightly, although Xu Yan couldn't say it, she seemed to have guessed what Xu Yan wanted to say, her face flushed slightly, and she whispered: "I understand the child's caring intentions, thank you very much." Since I arrived here, I have been taken care of by my son...... I really don't know how to express this gratitude. โ
After a pause, Zhu Youxiang had regained his calm and tranquil style: "However, I have made up my mind: no matter how difficult and dangerous it is, I must return to my motherland Daming!"
