Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Great Ming National Teacher

"Fraudulent corpse!" I was startled by Kun Dao, who suddenly opened his eyes, but then I thought that I was a master of transforming gods, so I was afraid of something, so I calmed down. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

I took two more steps forward, only to feel that the cold air emanating from Kun Dao's body was far more powerful than that on the ice cube, and even if I had been prepared, I couldn't help but shiver.

I saw that this Kun Dao's expression was a little wooden, although he woke up, his eyes were a little dull, and there was still some frost on his hair and eyebrows. After about half a burnt of incense, the woodenness on her face gradually receded.

I continued to move closer to her, at this time I could see more clearly without the influence of ice, she was very beautiful, melon seed face, big eyes and double eyelids, the skin was very white and delicate, it was an absolute Internet celebrity face in modern times, and the goddess in the minds of thousands of otaku. And this Kun Dao's eyes are very cold, which adds a kind of arrogant temperament to her, making people feel that she is high and unclimbable.

She glanced me up and down, then closed them.

I looked at her strangely, why did she close her eyes when she saw me? Could it be that I was ugly? No, although I was not as good-looking as Pan An, but I was not so ugly that she closed her eyes.

"Who are you?" I stretched out my hand to touch her, but when I thought that although this Kun Dao was beautiful, he might be older than my grandmother, and he looked arrogant, so there should be a lot of problems, so it was better not to mess with her.

Kun Dao raised her eyelids when she heard this, and this time she looked up at the bat spirit that I had banned, and said coldly: "You destroyed its body?"

"How do you know?" I regretted when I asked the question, it was unclear, the bat spirit had only a soul left, and I had broken the ban she had placed on me to enter the cave, who else could do this.

When she heard this, she lowered her face, and without asking, she knew that she already hated me, and just when I thought she would open her mouth to scold me, she changed her words and said, "What dynasty is it now?"

"People's Republic of China. "I thought about it and understood, this Kun Dao had been in the ice for too long, and she didn't know anything about the outside world, and after waking up, she naturally had to understand the situation outside, because once she woke up, it was impossible for her to continue to stay in this hole.

"How many years has it been since Chongzhen was seventeen?" she asked again.

I bowed my head and pondered in my heart for a while, then said, "It's been three hundred and seventy-two years. "It's 2016 A.D., and the seventeenth year of Chongzhen is 1644 A.D., the year the Ming Dynasty fell.

Although I answered this question calmly, I was a little shocked in my heart, because this Kun Dao asked me how many years ago Chongzhen's seventeenth year was to show that she was frozen here in Chongzhen's seventeenth year, plus her own age, which means that she should have lived for four hundred years.

And as far as I know, even a Qi practitioner who has returned to the Void Realm can live for three hundred years, and she has lived for four hundred years, is she already an immortal who is in harmony with the Dao?

I paid close attention to her expression, and found that she heard me say that the seventeenth year of Chongzhen was three hundred and seventy-two years later, and I couldn't help but sigh, and there was a color of loss in the whole person's eyes.

Kun Dao's mood was very low, and he was silent for a long time before he whispered: "Your cultivation is not low, which sect is your disciple?"

"Fusheng immeasurable Tianzun, the poor Dao interception sect is shocking. I nodded at her.

I just told her in general terms that I was a disciple of the sect, and I didn't say that I was the head of the Jinao Cave Mansion, if she was really an ancient immortal, I knew that the Jinao Cave Mansion perished as early as the 31st year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, and she would mistakenly think that I was lying to her.

Hearing this, Kun Dao nodded and said, "Who is the emperor today?"

I shook my head and said, "There is no emperor now." ”

"Oh?" Kun Dao looked at me with interest when he heard this.

I took the trouble to give her a brief explanation, but I didn't understand Marxism-Leninism, Maoist Thought, Deng Theory, and she didn't understand it either. When she heard me say that the current national leader was actually re-elected, she mistakenly thought that it was the same as Gu Yao Shunyu's Zen concession system, but I didn't continue to explain, so I let her continue to misunderstand.

Yao Shunyu's Zen let is the leader himself who thinks that his character is good, he will give the throne to whom, and then to put it bluntly, it is to see who is pleasing to the eye and give the throne to whom, and the current national leader is to be elected by the people, but this can not be explained to Kun Dao, because the ancients were full of the Confucian concept of heaven and earth, and she would feel too incredible to let her know that the leader of the country was elected by the people, just like letting the ancient prince be the prince who was not the emperor but the people had the final say, which was unacceptable.

Kun Dao asked me a few more questions, most of which were related to Buddhism and Taoism, and finally asked me how many masters I have now, and asked how many Taoist sects are not there, and then I have never heard of any of them, after all, after more than 400 years, it should be buried in the dust of history.

Regarding the decay of Xuanmen cultivation, Kun Dao finally only used a sentence to describe it, "The Daomen is declining, and the Buddhism is not in decline", and then there is no follow-up.

At this time, it was time for me to solve my doubts, and I asked, "Dare to ask the Immortal Changdao up and down?"

She shook her head and said, "Poor Dao Daming Protector True Person Xuan Mingzi." ”

I didn't know the intention of her shaking her head, and was about to continue to ask, but she explained my confusion before I asked: "'Immortal Chief' is an honorific title for the immortals of the Hedao Dao, and at the peak of the poor Dao, he just refined, and he can't afford to be called 'Immortal Chief'. ”

I nodded, and said, "My predecessor was defeated in fighting with others when he was alive, and he fled to this point?" I regretted it as soon as I said this, because this sentence was a little unkind, but fortunately, there is no one else here.

Xuan Mingzi was not angry when she heard this, but asked, "How did you find out?"

I smiled and said, "No one in the Dao Gate will go to this poor mountain to freeze themselves for hundreds of years, and besides, there are human remnants in the canyon outside this cave, and this place should have been destroyed by the Dao Gate spell and turned into a canyon." ”

Xuan Mingzi smiled: "You are quite careful, but your speculation is not entirely correct. ”

"I want to hear about it. "I said I wanted to know what was going on.

Xuan Mingzi thought for a while, and only after sorting out his thoughts did he tell me the ins and outs of the matter.

Things have to start from the seventh year of the Apocalypse, that is, in 1627 AD, as absurd as the "locksmith emperor" Louis XVI in French history, and the fifteenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty - the "carpenter emperor" Ming Xizong Zhu died by school.

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty became more absurd than the other: Emperor Jiajing liked alchemy to seek immortality; Emperor Chenghua took a nurse who was 19 years older than him, Wan Guifei; Emperor Zhengde indulged in lustful dogs and horses, and liked to add the rank of general to himself; and Emperor Wanli ignored the government for nearly 30 years...... Of course, they are not useless, for example, during the reign of Emperor Chenghua, taxes were reduced and reduced, and Emperor Zhengde once pacified three rebellions.

If you want to say who the most ridiculous emperor of the Ming Dynasty is, it must be the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao. This brother likes to be a carpenter, and it is said that he made many tables and chairs in the palace himself, and every morning the ministers did not see the emperor in the morning, and when they inquired, they went down to the workshop to work. This shows how ridiculous this one is.

Due to Zhu Youxiao's early death, he left no heirs, so he was succeeded by his younger brother Zhu Youzhen, who later became Emperor Chongzhen, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Many people think that the "kings of the dead country" are mediocre, which is not true, at least Emperor Chongzhen is not like that.

Due to the incompetence of the ruling class of the Ming Dynasty and the greed of the local bureaucrats, the national economy has long been in decline, the national treasury is in deficit, the imperial court is overstretched, and the people of the world are even more struggling to make a living. The Daming Dynasty that Emperor Chongzhen took over was just a mess.

Probably Emperor Chongzhen himself did not expect to become an emperor, so at the beginning of his succession, he had the ambition to save the country with his strength to turn the tide, and vowed to be a generation of Zhongxing emperors.

Because he had seen all the royal political conspiracies since he was a child, soon after he ascended the throne, he used old and capable means to eradicate the great eunuch Wei Zhongxian, who had been troubled by the country for a long time, with lightning speed, exterminated his henchmen, and rehabilitated the unjust, false and wrongful cases caused by the eunuch dictatorship, which greatly boosted the world and the people rejoiced.

In order to save state expenses and reduce the burden on the shoulders of the people, Emperor Chongzhen did not hold banquets in the palace during his reign, abolished Jiangnan weaving, and abolished post stations on a large scale.

In the 16th century, the earth's climate tended to be cold, just in time for the "Xiaoice Age", and the growth of crops was affected. Rainfall was scarce throughout the Ming Dynasty, and the country was plunged into a decades-long drought, accompanied by frequent earthquakes and plague. By the time of Emperor Chongzhen, there had been famines throughout the country, including the Zhili region, which was under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court. It is somewhat similar to the current municipality, but the area is much larger.

As soon as the famine broke out, from Shanxi and Guanzhong to the land of Qilu and Jingchu, hungry people spread all over the countryside and fed on tree bark. After eating the bark, he ate the "Guanyin soil" again, so he died of bloating. Later, the hungry people had nothing to eat, and there was a tragic scene of cannibalism. In many areas, people who travel alone often go missing, in fact being captured and eaten by hungry people.

Even soldiers fighting in the frontier eat people because of lack of food and grass.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen repeatedly ordered the yamen of various state capitals to open warehouses for disaster relief, and he also took out the precious treasures of the palace to pay for the army, promulgated the "Guilty Edict" to reflect on his shortcomings in governance, and in order to restore the country's livelihood, he passed on the edict to the world to recruit talents, and listened to good words.

As soon as the order to recruit talents came out, it immediately attracted many talented people, and among them was a person in the Taoist sect - Xuan Mingzi!

Xuan Mingzi is a scattered cultivator under the sect of the sect, practicing alone in the mountains for many years, once out of the mountain to see the people of the world are not living, and heard that Emperor Chongzhen invited talents, so he got up to help him in the world, so he decided to go out of the mountain and enter the palace.

Who knew that Emperor Chongzhen was obsessed with alchemy and immortality because Emperor Jiajing was obsessed with alchemy and lived with Fang Shiye Dao all day long, so he was very disgusted with Taoists in his heart.

Xuan Mingzi was already returning to the realm of the void at that time, and the disciples of the sect were all arrogant, how could they stand this, so they wanted to be soft and hard, and flew directly into the Qiankun Palace where the emperor was resting to find Emperor Chongzhen.

At that time, Emperor Chongzhen was dealing with some daily government affairs, and when he saw a girl entering the room, he snored, "There are assassins, hurry up and escort", and immediately recruited a large number of guards. At that time, Xuan Mingzi was angry and used a frost spell to freeze all the guards, scaring Emperor Chongzhen into a pale.

At this time, Xuan Mingzi remembered that the purpose of his trip was not to kill people, so he removed the frost from those guards. Those guards had already suffered and were so frightened that they dared to take another step. Xuan Mingzi made his intentions clear.

Emperor Chongzhen saw that Xuan Mingzi could freeze people between his hands, and saw that she did not have evil intentions, and felt that "heaven and man came down to help", when even if Qin named Xuan Mingzi as a real person to protect the country, and wanted to edict the world, but she stopped it.

When she said this, Xuan Mingzi paused in her tone, her eyes were a little confused, probably reminiscing about the past, I think she may have had some inexplicable emperor between her and Emperor Chongzhen, but she didn't ask out of politeness.

I thought that Emperor Chongzhen would crown her as a real person to protect the country, although it was because of her high magic and the heart to serve the country, but I am afraid it was also related to her beauty. Since ancient times, beauties love heroes, and heroes are also sad to pass the beauty pass, although Emperor Chongzhen has ambitions, but it is impossible not to be tempted to see this beauty.
