Chapter 575: The Story of Jing Martyrdom

"The old man walks slowly." After Lao Chengtou packed up his things, Yu Fei stepped forward and said.

"Is there anything wrong with this gentleman?" Old Cheng Tou asked curiously.

"I'm very interested in what the old man just said, and I want to ask a few questions, but it's inconvenient to know it." Yu Fei asked.

The old man looked at the sun and did not immediately reply.

Yu Fei immediately woke up, now that it was time to eat, he couldn't talk too much here on an empty stomach, so he said: "I don't think it's better like this, let's find a restaurant to eat and chat, and I'll invite the old man to dinner." ”

Seeing that Yu Fei was very good, and it was also for the sake of the "old man's head" that Yu Fei had just given, Lao Chengtou nodded and agreed.

Yu Fei did not take Lao Chengtou to a top-level restaurant, but casually found a restaurant with a good "face" and ordered a few dishes. It was mainly for Lao Chengtou to eat, and he himself was not too hungry.

After eating seven points full, Yu Fei also began to ask.

"Elder Cheng, where did you hear what you said just now?" Yu Fei asked straight to the point.

Lao Chengtou waved his hand and said, "It's just hearsay, it can't be true." ”

However, Yu Fei didn't believe Lao Chengtou's statement. The story that Lao Cheng Tou just told is very reasonable, and it is very likely to be true, at least it is not something that a storyteller can make up. Therefore, Yu Fei wants to know the source of this story, and he can also increase his judgment certainty.

But the old man was clearly reluctant to talk more.

Yu Fei could only knock on the side to get more information.

"The old man is a native of Fengyang?" Yu Fei asked.

"The old man's ancestors are from Chuanchuan Chuanchuan, but his ancestors migrated to Fengyang. It's been four or five hundred years, and it's not an exaggeration to say that it's a native of Fengyang. Lao Chengtou said.

"Oh?" Yu Fei summed it up in his heart, wasn't that the Ming Dynasty four or five hundred years ago? Could it be that the story told by Lao Chengtou is related to himself.

"I don't know why Ling Zu moved to Fengyang?" Yu Fei asked again: "With all due respect, from ancient times to the present, Fengyang is not a rich place. ”

"Isn't it because Fengyang is Zhu Yuanzhang's place of Longxing, and it is where the central capital was located at that time?" The old man said.

Really! Yu Fei's face showed a clear application.

The old man knew that Yu Fei had guessed something, so he took a sip of wine and said: "That's it, now that time has passed, and this secret is hidden that I don't know whether it is true or false, it is better to tell it and listen to it as a story." Just rushed to Mr. Yu's meal of wine and meat, and the old man told you all the legends passed down by the ancestors, and there is nothing worth keeping secret to this day. ”

"Oh?" Yu Fei suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly filled the old man's empty wine glass again, and said, "Old man, please speak." ”

"It's not a secret, the old man's ancestor is also a famous person, the ancestor Cheng Pu is a Jinshi in the thirteenth year of Hongwu, originally sent to Guizhou to make a small county order, and later by the grace of Emperor Jianwen, he was promoted to a Beijing official and served by the emperor's side. After the Battle of Jingyan, the ancestor accompanied Zhu Yunwen and fled abroad, until he became a monk, and the ancestor returned to Zhongdu, which can be regarded as guarding the orthodoxy of the imperial lineage for the rest of his life. ”

The story told by the old man was unheard of before Yu Fei!

"You said that Zhu Yunwen became a monk? What's going on? Yu Fei asked.

"It's really surprising to say. After Zhu Yunwen fled, Zhu Di's army had already attacked Gyeonggi, and Emperor Jianwen discussed with the close ministers who followed him where to go, some advocated going to sea to hide, and some advocated hiding in the desert, but they were all rejected. Because when you get to the sea, you lose your foundation, and it will be even more difficult to recapture the country in the future. And the desert was brutally occupied by the Yuan people, and they were afraid of being humiliated. Therefore, the ancestors advocated going west, because Zhu Di belonged to wood, and the west belonged to gold and Jinkemu, so it was most advantageous to go west. The old man said.

Yu Fei felt a burst of amusement, it was really rash to rely on this kind of unwarranted attribute to restrain each other. However, this can also reflect the state of Zhu Yunwen's six gods and ministers when Jinling City was broken.

"Since Zhu Yunwen is not dead, but has escaped, and he has a jade seal in his hand that is ordered by the heavens, why don't you ascend to the heights and shout, and immediately counterattack when Zhu Di has just occupied Jinling and has not yet gained a stable foothold?" Yu Fei asked again.

Lao Chengtou glanced at Yu Fei and said, "In fact, this is also the suggestion of the family ancestor. But at that time, Tiexuan, the secretary of the military department, was defeated and captured, and tens of thousands of troops were defeated by Zhu Di's 800 generals, which made many people frightened and frightened. Therefore, when Jiazu put forward this suggestion, it was opposed by everyone, including Emperor Jianwen, which made Jiazu very disappointed in Emperor Jianwen. Although he is the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he can't see the eloquence of his ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang, but Zhu Di is more courageous. However, these words were unspeakable, and because of the influence of Confucian etiquette, the ancestor still insisted on Zhu Yunwen's orthodox status. ”

Yu Fei shook his head and smiled bitterly, this ancient man is a lot of nerds. If it is put on Yu Fei's body, where is there so much hesitation? He was sure to turn to Zhu Di immediately. One is the current emperor, the other is an outdated emperor, and you don't need to think about it and know who to support.

"And then?" Yu Fei asked again, in fact, what he wanted to know more was the whereabouts of the jade seal of the country, and Yu Fei was not much interested in the secret of the battle for the throne between Zhu Di and Zhu Yunwen's uncle and nephew, the reason was very simple: Guan Laozi's?

"The ancestor followed Emperor Jianwen and his entourage and came to Guizhou. At the same time, in order to confuse Zhu Di, Emperor Jianwen also found two people who looked like him from his entourage and sent them to Nanyang and Mobei respectively. Sure enough, Zhu Di's attention was attracted to this place, and Emperor Jianwen arrived in Guizhou safely. Lao Chengtou said.

"Come, come, drink." Yu Fei saw that Lao Chengtou's expression was still a little gloomy, so he persuaded a glass of wine. Although it is none of his business, but it has been passed down from generation to generation, and Lao Chengtou can still understand the disappointment of his ancestors at that time.

The old man drank another glass of wine and continued, "Emperor Jianwen missed the best opportunity like this! Later, Zhu Di sat firmly in the country, and Emperor Jianwen lacked the skills to return to heaven even if he had the heart. Ay! ”

"What about the heirloom jade seal?" Yu Fei asked. That's what he cares about most. What Lao Cheng Tou said just now was emotional, and he was not embarrassed to urge him, now that Lao Cheng Tou's story is nearing the end, he still didn't say anything about the jade seal of the country, Yu Fei was in a hurry.

"The jade seal of the country?" Lao Cheng sneered, and said with mockery in his tone: "It's ridiculous that this abolished emperor actually regards the jade seal of the country as an osinous thing!" I wanted to smash him under a cliff! ”

"What?!" Yu Fei was shocked! Such a treasure Emperor Jianwen actually wants to be broken? This loser, it's no wonder that he lost the country.

"Did he break it?" Yu Fei asked.

"Not really." Old Cheng Tou said, the entourage at that time and my ancestors stopped it together. But in the end, there is no way to know where the jade seal of the country is located. My ancestor was disappointed, so he quietly said goodbye to Emperor Jianwen, who had become a monk, and returned to Fengyang, the central capital, to live incognito. At the time, it was a very risky move. Because although the ancestor is not a famous person, there is no one who follows Emperor Jianwen who is not wanted. But maybe it's because it's dark under the lights, my ancestors didn't find it after they came to Fengyang, so they took root. Until now, the dynasty has changed, and the Ming Dynasty has been blown away by the rain and wind, and this secret can only be a conversation after dinner.

Speaking of which, Lao Chengtou was already slightly drunk.

However, Yu Feike heard the most important place, and hurriedly asked, "Where is the jade seal of the country now?" ”

Lao Chengtou shook his head and said, "Then who knows?" Anyway, it didn't break, but when the ancestor was dying, he repeatedly chanted a poem, saying what it was: The depths of the white clouds are ominous. And then it was depressed. For so many years, this phrase has been passed down in my family, but I can't figure out what it means. Maybe it's the obsession of the ancestors when they are dying, or maybe the descendants heard it wrong. ”

Yu Fei felt that it was impossible for later generations to hear it wrong, after all, when Cheng Pu died, his family must have been by his side, even if one person heard it wrong, but others could not hear it wrong, and Cheng Pu repeated it, even if he heard it wrong, he would find out later.

If you don't hear it wrong, then there is a question, does this sentence have anything to do with the jade seal of the country? rs
