Chapter 24: Confession of Heart
"Why is there a struggle, why is there a war? Struggle is inevitable, and war will never stop! Looking at Ha San, who was covered in feces and urine, Zheng He's heart was also boiling.
He longs for the unity of the world, hopes that there will be no war in the world, but the world is not transferred by his will.
Although he is the Duke of Dian State, he is just a retainer who is valued by the emperor. Of the many civil and military ministers, few really regard him as a minister of state.
Hearing Ha San's words, he said softly: "In the third year of Yongle, I went to the Western Regions for the first time, and I saw those small countries struggling to survive in Bangge and other countries. Because of the struggle for territory and faith, people are fighting all the time, and in the southern continent, hundreds of small countries are constantly destroying and renewing.
In the eighth year of Yongle, I went to Khurumus for the first time, which was a subject of Timur, and I went with the envoys to Baghdad, but Baghdad was already shattered under the barbarian rule of Timur.
In the twelfth year of Yongle, I went to the holy city of Heaven further west and met more people who believed in the same faith as me. But they disappointed me, because they were completely enslaved. Enslaved by aliens, enslaved by their faith. ”
Ha San looked at Zheng He dementedly, on the one hand, his body did not recover, and on the other hand, he didn't understand what Zheng He wanted to say at all.
Zheng He didn't care about his attitude at all, and continued as if pouring out his heart: "I grew up in the Yan Wang's Mansion since I was a child, and His Majesty was still the King of Yan at that time, and he told us that everything must be fought for by our own hands.
We plant the seeds, and in the autumn we can harvest more food. If you are a lazy man and do not farm, there will be no harvest, and if you do not remove the grass, the grain will be underproduced.
If King Yan wants to get the throne, he relies on snatching it with a knife and a gun, and if we want to live a good life, we have to rely on our own hands to fight for it.
I met Master Daoyan, and I only worshipped him as a teacher at first because he was an important minister of King Yan. But when I came into contact with the Buddhist scriptures, I realized that the reason why people are human beings and are not animals is because we all have different ideas from others, etiquette and morality, and the pursuit of a better life.
Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, and Green Religion all have the same teachings, that is, hope that can give people inner comfort. All religions create a unique atmosphere for their respective religions through religious objects, religious rituals, religious music, and so on.
Through this inducement, people form feelings of supremacy, purification, sacredness, mystery, refuge, repentance, and rebirth in their hearts. This kind of crossing, the feeling of permeating together, is also the self-feeling that distinguishes people from animals.
Moreover, through religious belief and religious constraints, people can always remember to abandon evil and promote good, and they can also learn to care for the weak. That's why I chose to be religious because it makes me more satisfied.
But I believe in reason, not in God! ”
Zheng He's face showed a pious glow, but his words did not match his expression at all.
Ha San looked at his face and felt that he was more like a madman than himself!
Of course there is a god in this world, but without God, where did man come from?
Zheng He continued: "There are no gods in this world. If there is really a god, the emperor has a heavenly constitution in his mouth and canonizes ghosts and gods, which also shows that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is greater than the gods. But I know that the emperor is just one person, and he also has joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and he also has to eat, drink, and sleep.
There is no god in this world, and the so-called gods are just created by people according to their own imagination and needs. I am familiar with the Qulenjing, Buddhist scriptures, and Taoist scriptures, and although I cannot say that I am a peerless talent, I think that not many people know more about the major religions than I do.
All religions came into being to satisfy people's dissatisfaction with real life. I believe in religion because I believe in its teachings, not in its gods, and we should believe in ourselves rather than in God.
If there is a God, why are there all kinds of wars, and if there is a God, why does God never satisfy any hope of the world? Why is everything on its own?
Hasan, if there is a god, why doesn't your god come and save you? ”
"God is in my heart, I can feel Him, I can feel Him......"
"It's all just your illusion....... Look at the way you look like you're covered in shit and urine, if this is God's agent, even if there is a god, then God is nothing but a waste. No matter what religion, there is no greater power and higher status that my Ming Emperor can bestow, right? ”
"It's because of the power of power, God is in charge of the inner mind, and the emperor is in charge of worldly power."
Although he was in a trance, Ha San was still able to debate with Zheng He with instinct.
Looking at his pitiful appearance, Zheng He sighed and said, "I have been looking for a whole life, trying to get an answer, but in the end, no one can give me an answer." So I can only believe in myself. I believe that the emperor and grandson of the Ming Dynasty can give the world a better life than God. ”
Ha San laughed maniacally, because he had no physical strength, his throat was injured, and he could only lie on the ground and let out a low laugh.
Laughing, he burst into tears and trembled.
"It turns out that you have always been a heretic, and in vain I still consider you to be of the same kind." He stared at Zheng He with hateful eyes and said, "Heretics are more damned than infidels......"
Zheng He felt a little sad, but quickly adjusted again. said softly: "Since Yunnan was broken, I entered the Yanwang Mansion when I was young. Although the Ming court made me incomplete, His Royal Highness King Yan was kind to me. It was he who raised me, trained me in martial arts, and taught me the principles of being a human being.
Although the clan brought me into this world and gave me life, I have been trying my best to support the clan all these years. As for the national ...... The Ming Dynasty did not divide different people into several classes like Meng Yuan, whether it was Han and Mongolia returning to Tibet, they were all Ming people. In my heart, I am also a great man.
As for you saying that you admit that you are wrong, but I have a clear conscience when I associate with you, only you are sorry for me, and I am sorry for you without me. Haven't you been trying to associate with me all these years because you value my identity?
When I saw you today, I just wanted to ask you. Why do you have to be anti-clear? You are a Semitic, and now the Semitic people in the West are still slaves under the iron hooves of the Turks and the Mengyuan people, but the Semitic people of the Ming Dynasty can live like people. What are you still dissatisfied with? Is it just to convince people that there is no God at all? ”
"If you believe, you have, and if you don't, you don't. Have you been studying the Qur'an just to find evidence that there is no God? ”
Zheng He shook his head and said, "No, I just want the world to live a better life!" ”
His personal eunuch Jia Shiwen entered the cabin and reminded softly: "Grandpa Guo, the fleet is about to leave." ”
"Got it......" Zheng He waved his hand, and the official of the Criminal Department immediately withdrew from the cabin.
Zheng He picked up a dinner plate on the table in front of him, placed it in front of Ha San, brought a pot of wine, and filled the two silver cups with wine.
"You and I have a fellowship, and we will end today with this glass of wine. If you can see Allah in the future, ask him for me why people can't live in peace. ”
"Is this a guillotine?"
"No, see off the wine. You will be escorted to Star City for public trial, and I will also go to Bengkulu to seek it. ”
Ha San no longer cared about his life and death, and when he heard Zheng He's words, he laughed even more. "This is the peace you want? For the sake of peace, now to go to conquer the Bengkuru tribe? ”
"The Ming Dynasty needs such a deterrent in order to bring the countries of the South Seas to their knees. Such wars are aimed at avoiding larger-scale wars. ”
"But it's all war...... Hypocrisy, what hypocrisy......"
Ha San took the wine glass in front of him and drank it all, then threw it away, looked at Zheng He and said firmly: "Allah will never be defeated......
Zheng He also drank the wine in the cup, beckoned, and the two officials of the criminal department entered the cabin and wanted to tie him up again.
"Let's just go like this, it's a friend."
At this time, Ha San, who had regained a little sanity, noticed that he was on the river, and at a glance, there were endless sail shadows.
This Da Ming is really too powerful!
Zheng He led the fleet to leave, and the Chinese in the old port experienced the initial panic, and now knew that there were people who wanted to rebel against the Ming Dynasty, and they all wanted to break the bodies of those who wanted to rebel.
And the street has calmed down again, and even because of the arrival of a large number of soldiers, it has become more lively.
However, this kind of excitement will eventually come to an end, because Zhu Zhanji is also leaving.
The competition will be held in Star City, and before the competition, there will be a public trial of the thousands of people who participated in the rebellion.
All countries in the South Seas have to send representatives to participate in this competition, and many wealthy families with good family assets have hurried to take their families and drive to Star City to see the excitement.
Such a lively event is rare to see in a lifetime.
Such a limelight covered up the impact of Zheng He's troops.
Only the leaders of the Nanyang countries are worried now, and they already feel that Zhu Zhanji is stronger than Zhu Di.
Although he seemed to have given Wan Mao a choice, he sent a large army without waiting for Wan Mao's response, which showed that he didn't want to give Wan Mao any chance at all.
Just for the death of a small soldier, he made such a big move, which subverted everyone's feelings about Daming.
Now it depends on whether the war between the Ming and the Bengkulu tribe is going well, if the Bengkulu tribe cannot be solved, it means that the Ming is only a strong outsider.
But if the Ming cleanly solves the Bengkulu tribe, then in the future, they will have to be obedient.
Zhu Zhanji sat in the main hall of the somewhat chaotic royal courtyard, surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs who were busy packing their luggage.
Zhu Zhanji's travel, moving the car is not such a simple thing as lifting his buttocks. If you want to live in a certain place, you will send someone to take care of it half a month in advance, and the utensils used, the furnishings and decorations in the house must all be in accordance with the etiquette system.
Now it's leaving, and everything has to be put back into the box and moved. If there is one less thing, the eunuch or palace maid in charge will be hanged, and even a small life will be lost.
Li Liang, who was in charge of seeing off Zhu Zhanji in place, entered the main hall. "Your Highness, Your Excellency has set sail."
Zhu Zhanji's leg moved, and Qingmei, who was in charge of helping him beat his leg, willingly withdrew his hand. "Your Highness, I'll go back and pack my luggage first."
"There's no hurry, we'll leave tomorrow. Let's talk about it, what did he say when he met Ha San? ”
Li Liang has a good memory, and retold the conversation between Zheng He and Ha San for almost nine points. And the tone is abrupt, and the sound and color are much more interesting than looking at the pencil words written all over the paper.
After repeating the conversation between the two, Li Liang couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, the director is still reliable. ”
"I want you to talk more......" Zhu Zhanji glared at him, and Li Liang was so frightened that he quickly shut up.
Zhu Zhanji can also understand that Zheng He has now become a role model and idol for all eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty.
From a small eunuch, he led his troops to the battle during the Battle of Jingyan, and became the chief officer of the fleet that went to the Western Ocean at the age of thirty-two.
Especially after being favored by Zhu Zhanji, he became the deputy marshal of the Eastern Expedition to Dongying, and became the director of the navy by virtue of his military merits, and was named the Duke of Dian State.
From a minister to a minister of the court, this step is not something that any eunuch can do, and the entire Ming Dynasty is the only one. Even in the whole history, before him, there were only three eunuchs who did this.
So he is not only him, he has become a symbol among eunuchs. As long as he doesn't make big mistakes, Zhu Zhanji doesn't use him at most, and he can't do anything with him.
After all, Zhu Zhanji didn't want to be a lonely man, and he couldn't do without the service and service of the eunuchs around him, so he couldn't chill the hearts of these eunuchs.
After listening to Li Liang's retelling of the scene and carefully reading the conversation record recorded by the Information Department, Zhu Zhanji understood that this was Zheng He's indirect expression of loyalty.
Because these words he said were not so much for Ha San as for himself.
There were some things that he couldn't say to himself, but now through the relays of others, he could show his loyalty to him.
However, these words can be regarded as open and honest, and Zhu Zhanji is very satisfied. But he prefers to look again to see if Zheng He is consistent with his words.
"Are the prisoners loaded onto the ship?"
"It's been loaded, and when I was released from the prison, countless people were smashing them with rotten eggs, and the people were all looking to me!"
"That's not necessarily, that is, there are many Chinese here in the old port, and other places, I'm afraid they have long hated me to the core." Zhu Zhanji laughed: "But I'm not afraid, I don't need them to like me, I just need those aliens to respect me, be afraid of me, be afraid of me!" ”
Li Liang said with a smile: "The slave and maid will retreat, and today I will move, and the slave and maid will be entangled in chores, and they will not be idle for a moment." ”
"Go, I'll also take a look at the two little beauties sent by Shi Jinqing."
Along the way, starting from Luzon, to Sulu, to Boni, except for Malaga, because of Zhu Zhanji's order, to be sinicized, which led to Bairi Missoula's confusion and did not send beauties, and now he has received beauties from six countries.
There are black beauties from the South Seas, Persian beauties from the Western Regions, Arab beauties and a beauties from Greece.
However, Zhu Zhanji is not a person who is in a hurry, and he is still letting Liu Chenghui train. Wait until you are trained to enjoy it, then it will be interesting.
(I couldn't sleep at night with a toothache and wrote 4,000 words.) I have to go to the hospital for an injection today, see how I am doing in the afternoon, and try my best to do it again. )
