After returning to the capital, Emperor Wanli immediately summoned Fang Yu to the palace for an audience.

In the huge Dongnuan Pavilion, Emperor Wanli has retired from everyone, and only the two monarchs and ministers are among them, sitting and standing.

"Fang Yu, are you afraid to talk like this because I have promised not to kill you?"

After returning to the palace all the way, Emperor Wanli's face had softened a lot, and his anger had calmed down a lot. But sitting on the dragon chair, he still asked Fang Yu questions with great concern.

"The minister said that the emperor can go to the local excavation at any time, and if the situation is different from what the minister said, the minister is willing to die to resist the crime of bullying the king!" Fang Yu still had a calm face.

Emperor Wanli stared at him for a long time before he lowered his voice and asked Fang Yu in a hesitant tone. "Fang Yu, if the mausoleum site here is really as you said, then how should I deal with it?"

"Your Majesty, of course, it can only be a blessed place, which is the best deed." Fang Yu replied.

"In this case, what if I don't choose Dayu Mountain, but change back to the land of the dragon's mouth?" The Emperor groaned for a moment, intending to retreat.

"Your Majesty, this shape of the dragon's mouth, Weichen has also secretly explored, this place and the Dayu Mountain veins are all signs of decay, not suitable for Your Majesty to rest in peace after 10,000 years."

Hearing Fang Yu's veto again, Emperor Wanli frowned.

This doesn't work, that doesn't work, do you really have to spend time and effort to find a suitable place for the mausoleum again?

It's just a matter of choosing a blessed land, which is easier said than done!

Thinking about it now, it took nearly a year to toss and spend manpower and material resources to finally find these two feng shui cemeteries, if you want to overturn them all and find them again, it will be so easy!

What's more, the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces is not easy to explain......

The emperor was stunned, and Fang Yu said again: "Actually, from the following point of view, it has been more than 200 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and now on the outskirts of the capital, the fire cemetery that can be selected by the Ming Emperor is already very scarce. If the emperor wants to choose a blessed land with good feng shui, it is no longer appropriate to choose a cemetery in the capital. ”

"Oh, then in your opinion, where is it appropriate for me to choose the mausoleum?" Emperor Wanli asked.

Fang Yu gritted his teeth lightly, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "The minister thinks that if you really choose a good cemetery, bless me with the continuation of the dragon vein of the Ming Dynasty, and the country will last for a long time, you need to go to Shenyang in Liaodong to choose the mausoleum, it is appropriate!" “

Hearing Fang Yu's words, Emperor Wanli's eyes suddenly widened.

No, if you don't choose outside the capital, you have to go to Shenyang, Liaodong, thousands of miles away, to choose a tomb, this, this is simply ridiculous!

"Fang Yu, the more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes! Although I am rich in the world and dying, but since ancient times, the emperor's method of choosing tombs should be collected rather than dispersed, and you let my mausoleum be separated from the ancestors and ancestors in the suburbs of Beijing, and go to the remote and wild Liaodong Shenyang to choose the mausoleum, isn't it a joke! “

Hearing the emperor's sharp question, Fang Yu gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister's arrangement seems to be strange and strange, but it is well-intentioned!" Because according to the perception of Taoism, in this land of Shenyang in Liaodong, the dragon vein has awakened, the dragon qi is gradually gathering, and the purple qi is entangled, but there is a new dynasty appearing, which will set the capital here, and gradually annex the elephant of my Ming Dynasty! In the opinion of the minister, if he can not use the real dragon emperor's mausoleum to suppress the dragon's lair as soon as possible, in order to suppress the dragon qi of Liaodong, then the minister is only afraid of the future, after the dragon qi of Liaodong is prosperous, the dragon vein will be transformed, and the hidden dragon will leap into the air, but it will be difficult to suppress it! “

After Fang Yu finished speaking, he bowed for a long time and fell to the ground.

"Fang Yu, you are so bold! You're really getting more and more presumptuous! Do you dare to talk nonsense about such contradictory words? Wanli frowned, and his face was very stern.

Fang Yu smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, Fang Yu eats the king's fortune, and he should share the king's worries, and dare to make up nonsense to deceive Your Majesty!" It is precisely because in this palace that only His Majesty and Weichen are two, and these words do not fall into the ears of others, that the ministers dare to tell His Majesty wholeheartedly. ”

"Hmph, you don't dare to joke with your own head! Well, now there are no outsiders in the Dongnuan Pavilion, so you can tell me in detail about the awakening of the dragon veins in Liaodong. Emperor Wanli stiffened his face, stared straight at him, and said in a deep voice.

Fang Yu raised his head and replied slowly: "Your Majesty, in this land of Liaodong, there is a matter of dragon veins rising, but we have to start from ancient times. According to historical records, in ancient times, in order to pacify the flood, in the southern region, with the Xuanyuan sword given by the Emperor of Heaven, he cut nine evil dragons in a row, so that the flood was resting, the rivers returned to the sea, and the people of China were able to reproduce to this day......"

"I have read these ancient legends since I was a child, why do I need you to tell them, you have to pick and choose important things to say." Wanli said impatiently.

"Your Majesty, these nine evil dragons, after being beheaded by Dayu, their dragon soul is immortal, because it is difficult to survive in the south, so they absconded to the north, and in the wild land in the north, they hid and turned into local dragon veins. After continuously absorbing the essence of the northern land, he gradually tried to recover in order to avenge the beheading in Huaxia that year. And every time an evil dragon awakens from the dragon vein, it is a great catastrophe for me Chinese Han people. ”

"You can go into details."

"Your Majesty, this first evil dragon dragon vein awakened, it was the Xiongnu in the Qin and Han dynasties, the Xiongnu prospered, and since then the north has been restless, although the Han Dynasty has moved the country to the west, but it has also exhausted the national strength, and the princes in the country have become bigger, and finally the powerful Han Dynasty has perished in a melee."

"What about the second one?"

"The awakening of this second evil dragon dragon vein is the Xianbei of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, several Xianbei, whether it is Murong Xianbei or Tuoba Xianbei, their rise has caused a deep disaster to the land of China, and the Han people in the northern states and counties have been killed like killing pigs and dogs! If there is no order to slaughter Hu by Ran Min, the Han people in the north are afraid that they have been exterminated by the Hu people! The prosperity of the Xianbei tribes was entirely accomplished in the blood and tears of the Han people......"

"Well, I can't bear to hear about such bloody history. Then you can briefly talk about the rest of the story. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the third is the Khitan that flourished in China in the fifth dynasty, the fourth is the Jin Dynasty of the Wanyan clan, and the fifth is the Mongolia outside the Saiwai, and this sixth article, judging by the ministers, is an evil dragon vein that will flourish in Liaodong in a few decades, and it is very likely to be fulfilled in a barbarian tribe in the northeast."

When Fang Yu said this, he deliberately stopped, glanced over, and watched the emperor's face.

He saw that Emperor Wanli's face was very complicated, and his young face was full of melancholy.

"Then in your opinion, if you want to crack this evil dragon vein, you can only let my 10,000-year-old blessed land come to suppress it? After 10,000 years, I was only far away from the capital and my ancestors, and I had to sleep alone in Shenyang, Liaodong? “

Emperor Wanli's face showed a very painful expression.

"The Emperor's ......"

"Fang Yu, do you know that if I do this, Hugh said that it is difficult for the queen mother of the two palaces to pass the test, even this Manchu Dynasty civil and military, I will also scold me for betraying my ancestors, listening to the fallacies of Fang Shi, abandoning the great cause of the family and the country, and the discussion of the clans and the military and the people in various places, I am afraid that it will be short-lived and endless. This whole country, all kinds of pressures add up, I, I really can't bear it......"

After the emperor finished speaking, his face was dejected, and he let out a long sigh.

Fang Yu's face was serious, and he knelt on the ground, silent, like a wood carving.

"Fang Yu, in addition to moving the site of the Mausoleum, can there be another way, can we resolve this Liaodong dragon qi and solve this crisis?" The emperor did not look up, and his voice was low.

Hearing the emperor's words, Fang Yu's face was gloomy, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He knew that it would be extremely difficult to persuade the emperor to change his mind and move to Shenyang, and it would even be impossible to be adopted.

Perhaps, if this suggestion is heard by others and reported to the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, then maybe this matter has not been discussed in the court at all, and he will be beheaded and executed for the crime of bewitching the king and shaking the country.

Fang Yu pondered for a long time, and finally planned to fight.

"Your Majesty, if the relocation is really difficult, the minister still has a very risky plan, so you can give it a try."

"Oh, why is that?" Wanli's eyes lit up.

"That is, Wei Chen chooses a feng shui sorcerer, goes to the northeast, breaks the dragon vein, and cuts off the dragon root, which can also solve this crisis. It's just that this law belongs to going against the sky, and it is a forcible change of the destiny of heaven, if it is not successful, then Weichen and Daming, the degree of backlash, will be quite powerful. Fang Yu gritted his teeth and said.

"Oh, what will it be?" Emperor Wanli's face was also very solemn.

"Wechen will suffer from a vicious illness or misfortune, and after death, the soul will definitely be detained under the Nine Shadows, and it will be difficult for eternity to escape. And it is very likely that the descendants will be extinct, and none of them will survive. Fang Yu said this, his eyes were already filled with tears.

"And the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty will be completely swallowed up by this evil dragon vein, the country will be destroyed, the clan will be difficult to stay, the Han people will be slaughtered, and the people will become inferior to pigs and dogs, and my thousands of years of Chinese clothing and culture will most likely be cut off here, and it will be difficult to find in future generations......" Fang Yu was already choked up and couldn't continue.

Emperor Wanli's face suddenly froze.

Gradually, there were faint tears in the eyes of the young emperor.

……

At this time, in the big tent of the Tang Army outside the town, Fang Zhongji, the minister who said this, also had tears in his eyes, and he hurriedly lifted his robe and wiped away the tears that almost flowed out.

Li Xiao was on the side, also with a serious face and did not say a word.

Fang Zhongji paused and continued: "Later, after much thought, Emperor Wanli decided to send my grandfather Fang Yu to the northeast to find the evil dragon vein and cut off the dragon root, so as to relieve the fundamental calamity of the Ming Dynasty. Subsequently, Emperor Wanli secretly appointed my grandfather Fang Yu as the master of the imperial kingdom, and asked him to take eight top feng shui magicians to the northeast to crack the dragon vein. After my grandfather received the order, he and these eight feng shui magicians, disguised themselves as ordinary Taoists, brought magic weapons and secret equipment, and went to the northeast. ”

"And then?"

"Later, in various parts of the Northeast, after nearly ten years of arduous exploration and searching, my grandfather Fang Yu successfully cut off the three evil dragon veins. But these three dragon veins are all the remaining evil dragon veins that are still in a sleeping state, and the sixth dragon vein that is waking up, this evil dragon dragon vein that is about to subvert the fortunes of my Ming Dynasty, but for some reason, it has never been found. Fang Zhongji let out a long sigh when he said this.

"Oh......"

"My grandfather was not reconciled, and searched in Liaodong for more than three years, and after repeated searches to no avail, he had to return to Daming and prepare to report the matter to the emperor. Unexpectedly, when he came back, a major feng shui incident occurred in the court. ”

It turned out that although Fang Yu tried his best to prevent the groundbreaking of the Dingling Tomb of Dayu Mountain, in the end, because the auspicious land near the capital was difficult to find, Fang Yu's warning was wantonly slandered by the prisoner Yang Ru ordinary people, saying that he harbored evil intentions and sensationalized, so that Emperor Wanli could not listen to his words. As a result, the three of them became tigers, and because Fang Yu had already set off for the northeast, he could not be inquired, so Wanli, who was originally suspicious, finally agreed, and excavated a mausoleum in this Dayu Mountain.

Unexpectedly, in the eighteenth year of Wanli, when the mausoleum was about to be completed, when the final process was being carried out to excavate the underground palace, there was a bad omen.

It turned out that the place where the emperor's coffin would be placed in the future was determined by Yang Ruchang and other feng shui masters, and there was a major accident, that is, in the originally soft sandy ground, a hard granite stone was dug up, which is called under the treasure bed in feng shui, there is no soil and stone, and after three generations, Lu is cut off, which is a serious taboo in feng shui.

So far, Fang Yu's prophecy back then has all come true.

In the Ming court, naturally some people began to take this opportunity to start a farce of attacking each other and fighting each other.

Xu Xuemo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Shen Shixing, the assistant minister, and others jointly attacked Yang Ruchang, the supervisor of the prison, saying that he took bribes, bewitched the public, and wasted financial resources in vain.

Under the accusations of a group of courtiers, Yang Ruchang was arrested and imprisoned, and Zhang Yinghou took over as the supervisor.

However, fortunately, he scattered all his family wealth and took care of the eunuchs and various important officials, and Yang Ruchang finally escaped death, and after being imprisoned for a few years, he was released and returned to his hometown.

Originally, it stands to reason that this Dingling Mausoleum has reached this point, and it should be necessary to rebuild it. But I don't know why, at that time, the Wanli Emperor, who was devoted to Buddhism and was very superstitious, didn't know which tendon was wrong, and suddenly became an atheist, putting on a non-believing and abnormal appearance, and made a decision that surprised all the ministers.

He said that back then, the ancestral mountain mausoleum was in Tianshou Mountain, and the holy sons and grandsons should be buried in this mountain. and issued an edict to ask the minister not to argue about this matter anymore, and his own Shougong auspicious place is this Dayu Mountain. Many ministers who still secretly said that Dayushan was unlucky were punished for this.

Fang Zhongji sighed, now it seems that Emperor Wanli acted like this, maybe it was really fate, not manpower, so reluctantly.

It's just that this matter has been repeated later. That is, although Emperor Wanli did not believe in evil and said it well, but he was still worried in his heart, and later, he ordered the new supervisor Zhang Yinghou to quietly look at several places in the suburbs of Beijing, but they were not very ideal, so he could only give up in the end, and completely died the idea of building a longevity palace.

It's just that in the Wanli Dynasty, whether the emperor was alive or after his death, whether in the officialdom or among the people, the discussion about the inauspicious feng shui of Dingling has never stopped.

Speaking of this, Fang Zhongji sighed and said, "My grandfather Fang Yu, when he returned to Beijing from the Northeast, the Dingling Tomb had been built for nearly five years. At that time, my grandfather lamented that the feng shui of the emperor's tomb was not good, and he was worried, so he and Liu Shiting, the eleventh grandson of Liu Bowen, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, said that the dragon lair of the Shougong Palace in Dayu Mountain was very unlucky, and it was necessary to choose another good place to rebuild, so it was appropriate. As a result, I didn't expect that in the past thirteen years, the Wanli Emperor is no longer the young and promising young son of heaven back then, and the current emperor is narrow-minded and stubborn. As a result, instead of remembering my grandfather's work in the Northeast for more than ten years to cut off the evil dragon and dragon veins, Emperor Wanli was greatly angered by him because of this letter, and stripped my grandfather of his official position, expelled him from the imperial court, and made him return home to live idle. ”

When Fang Zhongji said this, he had a helpless look on his face, as if he was still deeply sad about his grandfather Fang Yu's encounter.

And Li Xiao on the side, after listening to his story, was also emotional.

You must know that in real history, 24 years after the death of Emperor Wanli, Li Zicheng broke through the capital of the Ming Dynasty, forcing his grandson Emperor Chongzhen to hang himself, and later, let the Manchus outside the gate take away the country, and the Ming Dynasty was finally completely destroyed.

And what is even more coincidental and tragic is that three hundred years later, Fang Yu's words came true again.

That is, during the Cultural Revolution, the Red Guards used explosives to blow up the wall of the Dingling Mausoleum, forcibly opened the passage to the underground palace, and dragged the bones of the Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun and Xiaojing and Xiaoduan out of the underground palace and burned them in public in the square. After the bones were burned, they were washed away by a torrential rain, and they have been left in the world since.

Li Xiao sighed for a while, and asked Fang Zhongji: "Fang Xiangshi, although you have said so much, what happened to your ancestors, my father is also very sympathetic. But these things don't help Bengong to seize the Qing Dynasty, right? ”

Fang Zhongji looked directly into Li Xiao's eyes, smiled slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Tang Guogong, I just want to tell you about the cause and effect. What I want to say is that after all these years of careful searching, now, I have finally found the location of the dragon vein of the Qing Dynasty. ”
