He raised his head, stared directly at Li Cheng and asked, "This is the last word of Empress Li, what does Li Xiangguo mean by giving this word to me?" ”

Li Cheng smiled slightly and said: "Since the death of Yizong, the Emperor Taishang has been overthinking and accumulating depression. ”

Chen Shunzong stared at Li Cheng and asked word by word, "Are you letting me kill myself?" ”

Li Cheng said with a smile: "If you let the minister's subordinates do it, it will be disrespectful to the emperor." It's better for the emperor to make his own decisions. ”

Chen Shunzong said sadly and indignantly to Li Cheng: "I have already given up again and again to your Li family, this Dayue country is already the world of your Li family, why do you have to kill me quickly?" ”

Li Cheng said fiercely: "Emperor Taishang, we were going to spare your life, but you are not willing to die here, and if something happens again, we have no choice but to kill the killer." ”

After hearing this, Chen Shunzong smiled bitterly and said, "I see. Although my Chen clan has no power and no power at the moment, but the people's hearts are still there, you are quite jealous of my Chen clan, and you must kill them all. But this is the pure land of Buddhism, you can't kill, let alone commit suicide, otherwise you will go to hell after death, and you won't be able to live forever, and I won't let you get your wish. ”

When Li Cheng heard this, he sneered and said, "I already knew that you would not obey your fate. Someone, give it to me. With that, he waved his hand and ordered his forbidden army to step forward and strangle Chen Shunzong.

The forbidden troops under him all flinched, looked at Li Cheng and said: "Li June, it's not appropriate to kill people here, if you can't live as a person after death, wouldn't it be a big trouble?" ”

Li Cheng snorted, pulled out the steel knife on his waist, and said, "If anyone dares to disobey the order, I will immediately make him a ghost under the knife." ”

His sergeants had no choice but to step forward and strangle Chen Shunzong to death with a white cloth.

Then Li Ji Yak told the world, saying that the Emperor Chen Shunzong died of illness because he missed Yizong too much, and Annan held another state funeral.

Zhu Yunwen and others saw Li Cheng leading his troops into the East Cross Courtyard, and after a while, the news of the death of Emperor Chen Shunzong came, and several of them covered their mouths and cried bitterly, Zhu Yunwen choked up and said: "Although I don't kill Boren, Boren died because of me." ”

Huang Zhan comforted: "Master, don't blame yourself too much, we are also kind-hearted and responsible." ”

Zhang Shixing said with some remorse: "It seems that what Senior Brother said is right, we can't rashly intervene in Annan's state affairs, otherwise it will be self-defeating and do bad things with good intentions." ”

Wang Shu said: "Master, people can't be resurrected after death, let's mourn and change, recite the Heart Sutra a few more times, so that the Emperor Taishang can ascend to Bliss as soon as possible and reunite with the Yizong family in heaven." ”

Li Ji Yak ordered people to set up a mourning hall in Xingsheng Temple, and he personally led hundreds of officials to come to pay tribute, and he was extremely glorious.

The Empress Dowager Li Shengdi took the young emperor to personally guard the spirit of the emperor, she was dressed in filial piety clothes, her expression was poignant, and she was even more beautiful.

Because of self-blame, Zhu Yunwen ignored his fatigue and took all his apprentices to recite the Heart Sutra to the Emperor for three days and three nights.

After Chen Shunzong's funeral, Zhu Yunwen convened all the apprentices to discuss the action, and he said to everyone with a deep sorrow: "The death of the Emperor Taishang has a lot to do with what we have done. Then we will also be among his suspicions, this old thief is really ruthless, rather than waiting for him to do something to us, we might as well leave, but this world is so big, where is our place? ”

Wang Shu said, "Master, why don't we return to Yunnan again." After all, it is our home country, and it is better to die than to die in a foreign country. ”

Huang Zhan said: "Third junior brother, where are you talking about, we are not far to the point of exhaustion, what are you talking about dead or alive." In my opinion, the two ends of the Xiping Marquis are really not credible, and we can't go back to Yunnan. We should continue to go south, go to the country of the Three Buddhas of the South Seas, and find another opportunity, maybe we can break out of the world. ”

Zhu Yunwen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Three Buddhas Qi Country? When I was in Beijing, I also heard that at the end of the Hongwu year, the king of Majapahit destroyed the kingdom of Srivijaya on the island of Java, and the country was in turmoil. At that time, more than 1,000 Ming people living in Srivijaya supported Liang Daoming, a native of Nanhai, Guangdong, as the king of Srivijaya. Liang Daoming then organized the rebel army to defeat the Majapahit and defend the territory of the Srivijabaya. In the past few years, tens of thousands of people have crossed the sea from Guangdong to join this Liang Daoming. However, I don't know if it's okay to go to Na Liang Daoming as a person, if we leak the news, leak our identity, and let the Yan thief know, it will be worth the loss. ”

Zhang Shixing said: "Master, no matter what, we must leave this place first, and then discuss whether to return to Yunnan, or continue to go south, and look for opportunities in the Nanyang area." ”

When everyone heard this, they all nodded yes.

So Zhu Yunwen led everyone to the abbot and bid farewell to Qingde.

After Qingde understood the intention, he retreated left and right, and said to Zhu Yunwen and others: "Master Kongwen, I don't know if the last time you asked Pei Boqi to pass on the news, the East Window incident happened, I was told that I couldn't let you go, so I was placed under house arrest in this temple, if you left, Li Xiangguo would take my monks to accompany the monks of the temple to the funeral." ”

Zhu Yunwen and the others were taken aback when they heard this, and said: "There is such a thing, and the old thief Li is too vicious." ”

Zhang Shixing was furious, pulled Zhu Yunwen to turn around and left, and said: "Master, let's go, I don't believe in this evil, see what they can do to us, it's a big deal to fight to the death." ”

Qingde stomped his feet behind him and said, "Kong Zhi, you and I killed us." ”

Zhang Shixing pulled Zhu Yunwen and the two brothers to the gate of Xingsheng Temple, and saw that there was no one around, he thought that he was forced by this Li Ji Yak and had to flee from here, and he was indignant in his heart, and couldn't help shouting: "Come on, there is a kind of come to kill us." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw dozens of forbidden soldiers suddenly appear behind the rocks and among the trees around him, each armed with knives and guns, and surrounded them, shouting: "There is an order from the upper peak, no one is allowed to leave the Xingsheng Temple." ”

Zhang Shixing saw that there was indeed an ambush, and his anger hit him upward, rather than being trapped in the temple, it was better to have a big battle with the enemy, and die a happy death.

He rushed forward, kicked left and right, and knocked down more than a dozen soldiers in an instant, and Wang Shu also rushed forward to fight side by side with Zhang Shixing.

He and Zhang Shixing have learned the inner boxing for two or three years, and it has not come in handy, at this time, seeing Zhang Shixing fighting happily, he has itchy skills for a while, and he is also fighting with the forbidden soldiers.

Zhang Shixing knew that he was afraid that he would die here today, so he also let go of his distracting thoughts, while dealing with those forbidden soldiers, and on the other hand, he took the time to guide Wang Shu's moves, they didn't know if they could survive this day, but they also had to live every remaining moment.

When the two sides were fighting, suddenly there was a sound of horses' hooves, and a pair of cavalry galloped up, led by Li Cheng, who galloped to the front and shouted to everyone: "Stop." ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, only to see that Li Chengfei dismounted, walked quickly to Zhu Yunwen's approach, and bowed his hand and said: "Master Kongwen, my father has important matters to discuss, and I invite you to enter the palace to talk about it." ”

Zhu Yunwen looked at him and said, "If Li Xiangguo wants to take the lives of me and others, please do it here, you don't have to go so far." ”

Li Cheng smiled when he heard this: "Master Kongwen has misunderstood, you are distinguished guests from the Ming Dynasty, how dare we have a bad heart." My father has long wanted to invite you into the palace to ask for advice or two, but he is busy with state affairs, and he is free today, so he specially ordered me to come and invite, please come with me. ”

Huang Zhan whispered beside him: "Master, let's follow him into the palace and see what tricks he can play." ”

Zhu Yunwen nodded, and led several apprentices to get on the horse and follow Li Cheng and his party into Renshou Palace.

I saw that Li Ji Yak was sitting on the throne in the middle, next to Chen Shaodi, behind him hung a bead curtain, and behind the curtain sat the Empress Dowager Li Holy Doll. The hall was full of civil and military officials of the Annan Kingdom.

When Li Jiyak saw Zhu Yunwen and others coming, he ordered the hundred officials to retreat, leaving only Pei Boqi, Li Cheng, Li Hancang and others in the Ministry of Rites.

After Zhu Yunwen and the others stepped forward to see the ceremony, Li Jiyak said: "Master Kongwen, the young emperor is young, the country depends on the long monarch, and the subjects of my Annan Kingdom unanimously recommend Dai Laofu to take charge of the national affairs. And the young emperor is my grandson, he feels that Chen Chaoqi has been exhausted, and the old man has made great contributions to the country, and today he has Zen with me. Master Kongwen is a monk of Jiming Temple, thinking that Jiming Temple is the temple of the Ming royal family, and has a great relationship with the royal family, so the old man asked Master Kongwen to come and tell me your opinion, there are no outsiders here, but you say it is okay. ”

After Zhu Yunwen heard this, he smiled slightly and said: "The poor monk is an outsider, and he doesn't ask about secular affairs, how dare he talk about this military matter?" ”

Li Ji said: "Since Master Kongwen can have a relationship with the Marquis of Xiping, he must not be a mortal. There is a Daoyan monk in your country, and I heard that he is the mastermind of the Yongle Emperor of your country, known as the prime minister of the cloth. I have heard that Master is also such a person, so I sincerely ask for advice, and I hope that Master will not hesitate to give advice. ”

After hearing this, Zhu Yunwen was disgusted, and blurted out: "That Emperor Yongle is also usurping the throne, he must be disgusted with usurpers, so I advise Li Xiangguo to be careful, after all, Annan is a Ming vassal." ”

When the people in the hall heard Zhu Yunwen say this, they all changed their complexions.

Li Jiyak laughed and said: "Everyone is a sycophant, only the master dares to tell the truth." ”

Na Li Cheng took a step forward and said to Li Jiyak: "Father, I am a country of my own, I am afraid that he will come from the Ming Dynasty, if they dare to come, the child is willing to lead the army to fight with him." ”

Li Jiyak shook his head and said, "We can't offend Daming unless we have to." In the old man's humble opinion, since Chen's vitality has been exhausted, I should establish the Li Dynasty, and I will definitely follow the heavens and establish a new dynasty. But we should still pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty in order to be canonized. Thinking that Li Chenggui also usurped the throne of Goryeo back then, Emperor Gao of the Ming Dynasty still named him king and gave the country the name of Korea. Presumably, our Dayue Dynasty has changed, and the Ming Dynasty will not interfere more, after all, our country is listed as a country that is not conquered by the Ming Dynasty, and they will not go on an expedition. ”

Li Jiyak looked at Li Hancang again and said, "Hancang, don't worry, I won't let you wait too long, I will pass the throne to you again, and I will abdicate as the emperor and recuperate." ”

After Li Hancang heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you father for your success." ”

Li Jiyak said to Pei Boqi again: "Pei Shilang, I am going to send you as an envoy to the Ming Dynasty, just say that the Chen family is extinct, Li Hancang is born to the daughter of the Chen family, and is the nephew of the Chen family, please canonize him as the king of Annam." ”

As soon as he said this, the Nali saint hurriedly knelt on the ground, and kept kowtowing and said: "Father, spare my life, this Chen An is my own child, you promised me that you would not kill him." ”

Li Ji Yak smiled: "He is my grandson, how could I kill him." I have arranged for him to go to Xingsheng Monastery to become a monk, and I will ask Master Kongwen for more advice in the future. As he spoke, he nodded at Zhu Yunwen.

After Zhu Yunwen heard this, he felt a chill down his spine, this major event of destroying the country was solved by his such an understatement arrangement, which can be described as a hero.
