An Zizhen is over 40 years old and a native of Dezhou, Jinan Prefecture, Shandong Province. When he was young, his family was wealthy, he used to read and study, thinking that one day he could reach the Son of Heaven with his eight-share articles, but he didn't expect to be in chaos in the world when he won a show. I couldn't read the book, and I couldn't even stay in my hometown, so I had to tearfully bid farewell to the ancestral tomb located in the north of Dezhou City, and went to Dengzhou with my parents for temporary refuge.

After arriving in Dengzhou, he was recommended by several fellow Texans to join Zuo Maodi's Zuo Jiajun. First as a clerk, and then went down to the Texas battalion to lead the troops, more than ten years of horses, and finally withdrew from the army with the rank of 100 households, returned to his hometown in Texas, and used the accumulation of many years in the army plus the land coupons obtained when he was discharged from the army, and placed 2,000 acres of land in the north of Dezhou City, while running a farm, while guarding the graves of his ancestors - this is also a filial son and grandson!

Of course, the tomb he guarded also has a history, and the one buried in it is the Batu Ge Thorn, the eastern king of Sulu who died of illness when he came to China to pay tribute during the Yongle period.

And this An Zizhen is a descendant of Antulu, the third son of Batu Ge Thorn, the king of Sulu East. At that time, the king of Sulu Dong came to China with his three sons to worship the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di, and after his death, the eldest son returned to China and took the throne, leaving the second son Wen Ha Thorn and the third son Andulu to guard the tomb. Later, the Yongle Emperor moved several families of Tianfang Christians from other places to accompany them, and together they guarded the tomb of Batu Gejiao, the king of Sulu East, and gradually formed a village in the north of Dezhou City, called Beiying Village.

Both Wenhathorn and Andulu have descendants who have descendants, among whom the descendants of Wenhathorn take Wen as their surname, and the descendants of Andulu take Andulu as their surname.

An Zi's real surname is An, of course, he is the descendant of Andulu.

After more than 200 years of multiplication, the Wen and An families have formed two big families, but unfortunately most of them have been dispersed in the previous troubled times, and those who can reunite in Beiying, Texas can be said to be one in ten. An Zi, who has the official title of one hundred households, is really the best among them, and was selected as the patriarch by the descendants of King Sulu surnamed An, who returned to Beiying.

And the patriarchs of the Wen and An families, as usual, also served as the head of the Tianfang Temple next to the tomb of King Sulu, so An Zizhen is not only the patriarch, but also the head of the Tianfang Temple, and at the same time the leader of the Tianfang Sect in Jinan Prefecture.

Since he became the patriarch and the head of the sect, he had to do something for the clan and the sect. Therefore, An Zizhen sent a letter to the Shandong Provincial Government in the name of the descendants of King Sulu, requesting funds to repair the tomb of King Sulu and the Tianfang Temple next to the king's tomb.

He just wanted a few hundred taels of one hundred and one thousand taels, but he didn't expect that not long after the book was handed over, the silver was not sent, and the holy decree announcing that he would go to Nanjing to see the driver came up, and it was sent to Dezhou by the prefect of Jinan and the general official of the Zuo Tongzheng Division.

That's a big deal! Emperor Lao Tzu was shocked......

At this time, he had arrived at the Laoshan Palace, and An Zizhen, who was following a tiger-backed Yan Shenggong walking on the edge of the magnificent Imperial Dao Long Street, looked around as he walked, and the heavenly family and wealth here really opened his eyes.

Today's great tomorrow is really worthy of being the "richest", just look at the old mountain palace here...... It looks like this time I was able to go home with a full load!

After walking for a while, Kong Yinzheng, the Yansheng Gong in front, suddenly stopped, and An Zizhen almost couldn't stand on his feet and crashed into Kong Yinzheng.

When I looked up, I found that I had arrived outside a splendid hall.

This is the Jinluan Hall of Emperor Lao Tzu? An Zi really thought that Yan Sheng Gong had already turned his head and glared at him, and whispered: "Your Majesty will ask about Tianli and Allah later, do you know what to say?" ”

What the? An Zizhen was stunned, and just wanted to ask again, Yan Shenggong had already taken steps into the main hall. An Zi really wanted to follow, but was stopped by the guards guarding the door: "Wait here!" ”

Then wait! An Zizhen thought, as long as the emperor Lao Tzu is willing to give silver, he can wait as long as he wants!

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Kong Yinzheng's voice coming from inside the main hall: "Minister Kong Yinzheng, please bring the head of the Dezhou Tianfang Sect in Jinan Prefecture, Shandong Province, and respectfully ask the Holy Heavenly Language to inquire ......."

Then I saw a eunuch holding the dust walking out quickly, "Who is An Zizhen?" ”

"Xiaguan, Xiaguan is An Zizhen." An Zizhen hurriedly responded.

"Come with us!" After the eunuch finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the inside of the main hall.

An Zizhen hurriedly followed, and walked into the "Jinluan Palace" with one step. After entering, I found that the Jinluan Hall was empty, there was no one, and even the emperor's throne was empty.

As soon as he wanted to ask where the emperor was, the eunuch who led the way in front of him turned a corner, probably afraid that he would get lost, and turned around and instructed: "Keep up!" ”

An Zi really answered, and followed the eunuch to turn the corner. After turning the corner, I realized that there was another room on the edge of the Jinluan Palace, the door of the room was open, guarded by eunuchs and guards, and Kong Yinzheng, the prince of Yansheng, was also standing at the door, and when he saw An Zizhen, he beckoned to him.

An Zizhen hurriedly walked into this room and found that this was a very spacious study, behind a desk sat a tall man in a dragon robe, with long hair, majestic appearance, although there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, it still made people feel frightened.

Needless to say, this must be tomorrow!

Without waiting for Kong Yinzheng to remind, An Zizhen knelt down and kowtowed, "An Zizhen, the official of the hundred households, respectfully asks His Majesty the Emperor to be Sheng'an." ”

"Flat, give a seat."

Zhu Cihong waved his hand and gave a seat to the visitor, then smiled and pointed to one of the two people sitting next to him, and said, "An Zizhen, this is your relative, Ali, the prince of Sulu." ”

Relatives from the country of Sulu?

An Zizhen turned his head to look and saw a middle-aged man with dark skin, a face, and a Ming Dynasty official uniform sitting there.

"I've seen the prince." Yasuko really hugged her fists.

The prince Ali could speak Chinese, and he also returned the salute with a fist, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, fortunately." ”

Zhu Cihong said again: "An Zizhen, I heard that you are the head of the Texas Tianfang Sect? ”

An Zizhen replied: "Your Majesty, the An, Wen and Dezhou tribes of the minister are wrongly in love, and they are promoted as the head of the sect, but the Tianfang Temple in Beiying, Dezhou, has been dilapidated, and it is unable to repair it, so I am ashamed......"

Emperor Zhu nodded and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay...... I'm going to send you a good guy, and if you agree, you'll have to step down from your position and don't have to worry about Texas teaching anymore. ”

This is...... An Zizhen was stunned when he heard this, the emperor meant not to spend money to repair the Beiying Tianfang Temple? Beiying Tianfang Temple can be built.

Zhu Cihong saw that he didn't speak, and said, "An Zizhen, the mission I want to give you is to go to the Sulu Kingdom to take charge of the Heavenly Fang Sect!" ”

What the? Going abroad to be a teacher? Anzi was really taken aback, and quickly looked at Ali, who responded with a flattering smile.

Zhu Cihong said again: "An Zizhen, are you a Confucian student?" ”

"Yes, the minister is too talented."

Zhu Cihong nodded: "Then you should know that Tianli Tianfang is originally a family, right?" ”

Do I know? An Zizhen was stunned and stunned. What does he know? He is a talented writer who writes eight-strand articles, and he has not studied the principles of science. The knowledge of the Heavenly Sect is as limited, so I just recite a scripture, and it is also a Chinese version. I didn't study the philosophy of Tianfang at all, such as "everything has a source".

Zhu Cihong knew that he didn't understand, so he gave Yan Shenggong a look.

Yan Sheng said: "Heaven, God, and Allah are actually the same, they are all the beginning of creation, the source of all things. ”

Is there such a thing? Anzi said sincerely: I really don't know, it seems that I have to go back and read more books......

Kong Yinzheng said: "Western Catholicism and Tianfang Religion all originate from the apocalypse, and the truth is passed down by angels and prophets. And my Confucianism is by the sages and sages who discovered the principles of heaven and peeked into the way of heaven. Since the sages and sages had a glimpse of the way of heaven and encountered the year of Yahshamma, there was no need for the apocalypse. ”

An Zizhen nodded: The saint is really amazing!

Zhu Cihong said with a smile: "Since they are all one family, then in the future, the head of the Sulu Kingdom will be the descendants of the King of Sulu who left in China!" ”
