Chapter 13 The Queen Mother of the West competes for the throne of the emperor and the dragon vein

Section 1: "Who Dare to Despise My Heavenly Court"

It is said that Guanyin Bodhisattva watched the moon in the open air outside the Leiyin Treasure Temple in Tianzhu Lingshan on the night of August 15 (Mid-Autumn Festival) in the crisp autumn of that year, and truthfully reported to the Buddha and the gods the whole process of the "main displacement of the stack" in the dragon vein holy land of Tianzigang.

The reason for the 'main displacement of the stack' in the Tianzigang Dragon Vein Holy Land is intricate. After exploring and thinking, Guanyin Bodhisattva summarized that there are four main factors, and they happened to gather together. First, the Queen Mother blames Guanyin Bodhisattva for acting arbitrarily and despising heaven; The second is that the Queen Mother resents Guanyin Bodhisattva for abusing Chang'e as a 'special envoy' to disturb the Heavenly Court's 'Love Guidelines'; the third is that the Heavenly Court Police Wang Lingguan is jealous of Chang'e's dedication to the pig Wuneng; Fourth, as the emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang took advantage of the excellent conditions of time, divine fate, and terrain than Chen Youliang.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the land of the Central Plains was surging, and heroes from all walks of life competed for hegemony. Chen Youliang, the leader of the beggar gang with many disciples, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the helmsman who was in charge of a rudder, fought openly and secretly for decades, but the result was that Chen Youliang had never fought Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang became the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. According to folklore, Chen Youliang failed to fight Zhu Yuanzhang back then, and one of the reasons that could not be disclosed to the world was that Chen Youliang's family was buried in the "Dragon Vein Holy Land" - the cemetery of Tianzigang lost its efficacy. The ancestors of the Chen family in the underworld failed to "give strength" to Chen Youliang as the emperor. And the homestead of Zhu Yuanzhang's family surnamed Zhu, Zhujiawan (courtyard), happens to be located on the "heart of the dragon vein" of Tianzigang, the "holy land of dragon vein".

Zhujia (Bay) Courtyard under the slope of Tianzi Gang.

There is a village called Zhujiayuan under the north slope of Tianzigang, and the locals also call it Zhujiawan. Zhujiayuan was built by a northern merchant surnamed Zhu named Zhu Shundun in the early Yuan Dynasty. The surname Zhu in the world is a family. This Zhujiawan. That is, where Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestors surnamed Zhu lived. The distance between Zhujiayuan and Chenjiayuan at the foot of Xianren Mountain is about 1,000 meters. The existing old ruins of the courtyard show. At that time, Zhujiayuan was a very luxurious and spectacular southern classic courtyard. If it weren't for the damage of the "four olds" during the "special period" of the last century. If it is preserved intact to this day, it is completely comparable to Fenghuang Town in Xiangxi, and can be declared as a national "intangible heritage" and protected.

Zhujiayuan is a relatively large courtyard house. The whole compound faces south in the north. The main entrance to the south is the torii, and the door frames on the east and west sides are stone pillars. The base of the torii pillar is a round cyan rock, and the column is a rectangular cyan rock. Due to the destruction of the Red Guards during the "special period", the appearance of the entire Zhu family courtyard has been completely changed. It turns out that the main gate archway is a stage of dozens of square meters, and the courtyard is a "patio", no matter how windy or rainy. The entire courtyard can accommodate nearly 1,000 people to watch theatrical performances. Nowadays, these gates, archways, theaters, stone pillars, etc., are all gone, just like their owners. The old house of Zhujiawan (courtyard) now only has a pair of stone pillar door frames, and there is a couplet on the door bar:

Meixi comes to live water and sees the sky

Mulberry valley Qing Changchun earthquake bell guanidine

The plum stream in the upper part of this couplet refers to the plum pond stream; Living water refers to the spring water flowing from the "bottom well"; "Heavenly machine" refers to the heavenly machine of Tianzigang Dragon Vein Holy Land.

Zhujiawan originally had three gates, and the gate posts were all rectangular stone pillars. The rectangular columns have carved couplets on the front. There are sculptures on the couplets of stone pillars, or symmetrical unicorn patterns; or a symmetrical lion pattern; Or a symmetrical dragon and phoenix pattern. The whole courtyard is a bluestone base, with a blue brick wall, a blue brick floor, and a tile made of a brick kiln. In addition to the kitchen, the "foot house" (the local people refer to the small bungalow with toilets and farm tools as the foot house) are bungalows. The houses are all two-storey houses. The floor slabs and floor reinforcements are made of locally produced cedar and soaked in locally produced tung oil. The roof is a "human" shaped solid wood tripod. The front eaves protrude about two meters from the wall (known as two-step water in the local dialect); The rear eaves protrude about a metre from the wall (known locally as a step of water). The main purpose is to prevent rain from damaging the wall and to facilitate walking in rainy days. The houses are connected by timber-framed corridors. The top of the corridor is covered with green tiles like the house, and the floor is also paved with green bricks. Both sides of the corridor are all solid wood guardrails, and there are various carved patterns of flowers, birds, fish and insects. All wood products are soaked in tung oil, and shabu is mixed with lacquer, red and black, antique. Now there is no way to verify why Zhu Yuanzhang's old, old, and old ancestor - Zhu Shundun chose this land to build a house and live in peace. Anyway, back then, the family surnamed Zhu built a house and a courtyard under the hillside on the north side of Tianzigang, multiplied and passed down from generation to generation. The changes in this, when studied carefully, are still related to the queen mother's love of power.

Historical facts have confirmed: Whether it is a mortal or a fairy, the heroines among women have a strong desire to fight for power. In order to become the empress, Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty killed indiscriminately by any means for no reason, including killing his own flesh and blood compatriots. In order to compete for power with the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother of Heaven schemed online to rape and harm vicious people, specializing in the deeds of yang and yin that harm others and benefit themselves. It is precisely because the Queen Mother is jealous of Guanyin Bodhisattva that she has been appreciated by the Jade Emperor; is also because the Queen Mother despises Chang'e for being too selfish and becomes the goddess of "abandoning her husband and ascending to heaven"; There is also Wang Lingguan, the picket commander of the Heavenly Court, who is jealous of Chang'e and dedicates his affection to Marshal Tianpeng - Zhu Wuneng. They colluded and secretly interpreted this divine drama of the displacement of the dragon vein stack of Tianzigang.

[Distant view, stunt plus close-up] Just when the people surnamed Zhu were going all out to "catch fish" in the puddle, a cumulonimbus cloud suddenly surged in the sky of Xianren Mountain. Suddenly, lightning and thunder roared, and wind and rain intertwined. The entire Tianzigang area was shrouded in a torrential storm. Flash floods followed. Originally, the water of the Meitang Spring flowed through the stream, and soon formed a waterline of three colors: red, blue, and black. The torrential rain washed away the red soil on the side of Tianzigang into a red flood; Wash the black mud on the side of the Immortal Mountain into a black flood; The original "bottom well" flowed out of the dark blue water. The "tricolor" water soon connected the water from the ninth puddle with the stream through which the water of the original Meitang Spring flowed. The muddy water, which had a "red" tinge in the ninth puddle, soon mixed with the tricolored water. This torrent flowed like a galloping horse, as fast as lightning into the river leading to the Xiangjiang River.

This thunderstorm comes and goes. A few minutes later. The Tianzigang area is sunny. The sky is empty. At that time, the people at the scene looked up and saw a rainbow hanging in the sky. One end of the rainbow originates from the spring of the "Bottom Well" at the foot of the Immortal Mountain, and the other end seems to fall on his own head, and also seems to fall on the village of Zhujia (Bay) Courtyard. Because the site is less than 300 meters away from Zhu's courtyard. As a result, descendants have legends that the "Son of Heaven" and "Xiao Immortal" are out of the Dragon Vein Holy Land of Tianzigang. The people surnamed Chen "protected the fish into the river" and failed in vain. Zhujiayuan is located in the "heart of the dragon vein", and Zhu Yuanzhang was the emperor "rain to success". Shun "water" into "dragon".

In fact, the initiator of this heavy rainstorm was the Queen Mother of Heaven.

[Vision, stunt and close-up] The Queen Mother is a "heroic goddess" who is good at "competing" with the Jade Emperor. She surrendered to the Jade Emperor on the surface, but in her heart she competed with the Jade Emperor. She is a good player in power, and secretly competes with the Jade Emperor in many things. The main reason for the battle between the Queen Mother and the Dragon Vein Holy Land in Tianzigang is that she has a deep prejudice against Chang'e! The Queen Mother despised Chang'e from the bottom of her heart. She thinks Chang'e is a perfidious goddess. Regarding the matter of the dragon vein of Tianzigang in which Chang'e participated, no matter what, it must be backfired! How could the Buddha and Guanyin allow a perfidious god like Chang'e to take on such a heavy responsibility! The Queen Mother has a deep prejudice against Chang'e, because Chang'e lost her trust in the process of becoming a god from an immortal. Because before Fairy Chang'e became a god, she asked her husband Houyi to ask the Queen Mother for two elixirs. The Queen Mother told Hou Yi to give Chang'e one pill each, and both husband and wife could become immortals in the mortal world and not die. As a result, Chang'e alone ate all two elixirs of life, and she became a god and went to heaven. After leaving her husband, Yi became a bachelor in the mortal world. What made the Queen Mother even more angry was. When Chang'e arrived in heaven, she became a "divine flower" that "attracts bees and butterflies". It has aroused the love and pursuit of many male gods in Heaven. Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Bajie because of "her" beauty, through the drunken male invasion of the Guanghan Palace, the most reckless was later denounced by Wang Lingguan, was punished by the Jade Emperor 2000 hammers, and was demoted to the mortal world.

[Playback. Stunt] The Queen Mother was in the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, when she listened to Chang'e report to the Jade Emperor on the situation of the Tang monks and apprentices on the way to relax for half a day, she had the idea of working against the Jade Emperor.

It is said that during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'e was instructed by the Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva to go down to the Tianzigang area of Meitang to monitor the leisure situation of the Tang monks and apprentices. After saying goodbye to Wukong and Wu Neng, Chang'e first reported to the Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva Xiangduan about the Tang monks and apprentices rectifying in the Tianzigang area of Meitang and preparing holy relics for the Tianzigang Dragon Vein Holy Land. Immediately afterwards, Chang'e came to Heaven and reported to the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother in time.

After Chang'e saluted, she said in her sweet mezzo-soprano: Under His Majesty Qiqin, the goddess Chang'e recently received the will of the Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva, and made a special trip to the mortal world to inspect the situation of Tang monks and apprentices going to Jiangnan for half a day to relax on the way to the west to learn scriptures. The reason is that the Buddha learned that Wukong protected the Tang monk Xitian and went through hardships and dangers on the way to learn the scriptures, and specially instructed Guanyin Bodhisattva to arrange for them to go to the Meitang area in the south of the Yangtze River for half a day of leisure.

The Jade Emperor said in surprise: The Buddha's blessed heart can be seen by the sun and the moon! Respectable! Congratulations!

The Queen Mother said: Tang Seng, Wukong, Wu Neng, and Wu Jing What good deeds did their masters and apprentices do during their leisure period?

Chang'e continued to say in her sweet mezzo-soprano: Guanyin Bodhisattva arranged for the Tang monks and apprentices to relax this time in the Tianzigang area of Meitang, Jiangnan. This place is the junction of two tectonic plates, the blue and red rocks of the earth. The water here is "living water", and the spring water in the crevices of the underground has a constant temperature throughout the four seasons and flows continuously. The mountain here is a "living mountain", and Tianzigang is the holy land of the dragon vein. The Bodhisattva deliberately arranged for the Tang monks and apprentices to prepare four holy relics for the Tianzigang Dragon Vein Holy Land during the leisure period: "Red Stone Golden Carp" - fish, "Porcelain Bottle Grass" - grass, "Jade Bottle Holy Water" - water, and "Scoop Gourd Ambergris" - wine. Tianzigang, the holy land of the dragon vein, the ancestors of the destined people in the future are destined to be buried here, which can bless his descendants to become the founding emperor and have a hereditary government for about 300 years、、、、、、

The Jade Emperor listened and said excitedly: Guanyin, whether in the mortal realm or in the divine realm, does things perfectly. Respectable! Admirable!

The Queen Mother said: Guanyin is kind-hearted and thoughtful! In the mortal world, the fairy world, the divine world, the yang world, and the netherworld, she is charity first, purifying all sentient beings, and people praise the immortals and worship the gods!

The Queen Mother said on her face at the time: Guanyin is kind-hearted. Do things well! Things in the mortal world, the fairy world, the divine world, the yang world, and the netherworld. She puts charity first. Pudu sentient beings, people praise immortals and worship gods! But I thought to myself: I have to mess you up then!

The Queen Mother is thinking in her heart, and she will see it again in 50 years! If you come to the Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva, you dare to deceive me that the heavenly court is incompetent, and you don't put the heavenly court in your eyes! You can take the Tang monks and apprentices from the northwest to the south of the Yangtze River for half a day of leisure, and prepare "fish, grass, water, and wine" for the Tianzigang Dragon Vein Holy Land; You Jade Emperor and Taishang Laojun support, and my queen mother wants to "PK" (do it) with you this time.

[Vision, stunt and close-up] The Queen Mother has always kept this matter in her heart, and pre-emptively relied on Wang Lingguan, who started by doing bad things about yin damage and lack of morality, etc., to watch the dynamics of Tianzigang, and wait for a full 50 years.

When it came to the day when Chen Anxin, the son of Chen Guangbiao, a clansman surnamed Chen, asked Kuang Hongtao, the abbot master of Hengshan Temple, to "open the mound and protect the fish into the cave garden". The Queen Mother said to the goddess of duty: "The king of the spirit of the noise".

"Niangniang has a will, and the picket commander will come in to see you!" The goddess of duty shouts the message!

"Lingguan knocks to see Niangniang!" Wang Lingguan knelt and bowed.

"Get up! Spiritual officer, go to the soundproof room to talk about something. The Queen Mother turned and sat up.

"Xie Niangniang!" Wang Lingguan got up.

After seeing Wang Lingguan get up, the Queen Mother turned around and entered the suite. Wang Lingguan immediately followed up.

After the Queen Mother and Wang Lingguan sat down in the soundproof room, the Queen Mother and Wang Lingguan conspired about the Dragon Vein Stack of Masters in Tianzigang.

"Spirit officer, what have you been busy with lately! It's hard to see you all day long. ”

"Back to Niangniang, the contemptible people are recently reflecting on the sin of plotting Mrs. Zhoufu to poison foreigners."

"What's Chang'e's doing?"

"Hui Niangniang, since 50 years ago in the heavenly court to listen to her report by Guanyin Bodhisattva sent by Guanyin Bodhisattva to Meitang on a business trip to monitor Chen Xuanzang's master and apprentice during the leisure period in Meitang for the head of the 'Five Dragons Mountain' - Tianzigang after the incident, especially after the incident of the Pan Tao Club held by Niangniang. The contemptible god has never seen Chang'e. Wang Lingguan said.

"Spirit, you have a good memory. What Chang'e reported 50 years ago is starting to come true today. The person surnamed Chen is carrying out the ceremony of 'protecting fish into the river' in Tianzigang! ”

"The people surnamed Chen 'protect the fish into the river'! Mother, do I have anything to do with it? Wang Lingguan said.

"That's what this means in this palace. I want you to go to the scene and do it! ”

"I understand!" Wang Lingguan said.

"What do you understand?" The Queen Mother said.

"The contemptuous god thought: After Guanyin Bodhisattva discovered that Tianzigang, the head of the 'Five Dragons Mountain', was a sacred land of dragon veins, he secretly instructed Chang'e to let Chen Xuanzang's Chen clan get the immortal opportunity first. This immortal bodhisattva and goddess of heaven just didn't take Niangniang in his eyes at all. Wang Lingguan said.

"Lingguan, this is not only related to the prestige of the palace personally, but also related to the majesty of the heavenly court." The Queen Mother said very angrily.

"Guanyin Bodhisattva and Chang'e cheated for personal gain, fooled the heavenly court, and despised Niangniang, so they should be punished from 'ruthlessly'!" Wang Lingguan said.

"That's what Hongu wants! 50 years ago, they fooled the palace and deceived my heavenly court, and today the palace will fight back! ”

"The contemptuous god immediately set off and turned the 'fish into the river' upside down." Wang Lingguan said.

"Stupid! This palace is to appreciate your 'virtue' in the mortal realm. Don't show any noise about the mortal world's 'fish into the river' ceremony, and only do your hands and feet after the goldfish enter the river and return to Dongting Lake! The Queen Mother whispered.

"I understand." Wang Lingguan said.

"What do you understand! Also, 50 years ago, Chang'e took the opportunity to have an affair with Zhu Bajie and left an 'indecent video' of the fairy god to ordinary people. This time, you have to change the wild dog rock mountain, which was originally a red rock, to a two-color stone mountain with two colors, blue and red, and eradicate the grass for laying grass! Erase from the roots the old marks that have damaged the image of the heavenly court. Later, according to the will of the Queen Mother, Wang Lingguan came to Meitang with a small earthquake, which turned the Wild Dog Rock Mountain into a blue and red stone mountain - Xianren Mountain.

"I understand," said Wang Lingguan.

"What do you understand! This palace asks you, you go to Meitang to stack the lord of the dragon vein of Tianzigang, do you know who you stack the Dao to? The Queen Mother asked sideways.

"I don't understand," said Wang Lingguan.

"You don't even know what the purpose of doing things is, so you blindly promise to go down to earth, won't you miss a big thing!"

"Contempt to listen to the mother's instructions!" Wang Lingguan said.

"You're nothing, not even a barking dog. Back then, it was the B God who turned you from a mortal womb into a fairy bone. ”

"I don't understand either. Back then, I met the master who taught Sun Wukong kung fu. It was his old immortal family who taught me the kung fu of flying through the clouds." Wang Lingguan said.

"This nameless bull-nosed old man, he is not good. What kind of "talent" is taught. ”

". It's still unclear what the contempt is. The land of the dragon vein of Tianzigang was originally the 'first opportunity' for the Chen family to get in advance. The Chen family has gone through three generations and buried their ancestors in the land of the dragon vein 50 years ago, why is it now the main one to be moved? Wang Lingguan said.

"If you figure out something, it won't be called a problem! Do you remember that Chang'e came to Heaven 50 years ago to report on the dragon vein of Tianzigang? The Queen Mother said.

"Remember! Back then, Chang'e and Bajie secretly returned to Heaven in the mortal realm, and the form of the spring breeze almost blew up my lungs at that time! Wang Lingguan replied.

"It is said that several generations of the Chen family have dedicated their lives to the Dragon Vein Holy Land of Tianzigang. The descendants of the Chen family should be blessed by the Dragon Vein Holy Land - 'Guanqi'. However, this dragon vein blessed lord must be stacked. The Chen family had to make a fearless sacrifice in this matter. Future. The descendants of the Chen family can only blame Guanyin. The Queen Mother said to Wang Lingguan: Back then, Guanyin Bodhisattva found that the five fingers of the Buddha had become the Five Elements Mountain, and after Wukong broke through and fell into Meitang called Wulong Mountain, he planned for the dragon vein holy land of Tianzigang. Guanyin Bodhisattva is a heroine among women in the fairy world, and she chose Chang'e as a special envoy, which was the biggest mistake in her life. Guanyin Bodhisattva was planning the Tianzigang Dragon Vein Holy Land, and he was favoritistic from the beginning. In order to thank Xiao (Xiao) Yu, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, for his acquaintance, she deliberately chose Meitang Nunnery as a leisure place for Tang monks and apprentices. Because the host of Meitang Nunnery is surnamed Xiao (Xiao) and is named Hanqing. Chen Xuanzang leaked the "fairy machine" to Chen Chujie. When I listened to Chang'e's report 50 years ago, I thought of Guanyin Bodhisattva, who has always done things fairly, and this time I also showed a "horseshoe print" of favoritism.

"It's still a great mother. Then. I'm just angry with Chang'e, I can't hear anything else! Wang Lingguan echoed.

"Spirit officer. You say, who is the Tianzigang dragon vein 'stacking master' for? The Queen Mother deliberately asked Wang Lingguan.

"Mother, I really don't know anything about this." Wang Lingguan said.

"Spiritual officer, to tell you the truth, I've been watching this for 50 years. In the past 50 years, the events in the mortal world, and now Chen Youliang, a descendant of the surname Chen, was 'born' as the largest beggar gang leader in the Central Plains. He had ambitions to become emperor. There is also a man who competes with him in the world, and he also has the eloquence to be a monarch! The Queen Mother paused for a while, and then said to Wang Lingguan: "This northern man, he made his debut by killing pigs and became a monk. He was a bold man and was good at fighting with soldiers. What is even more commendable is that he respects women's rights. He took a big-footed daughter-in-law, Ma, who was one year older than him and mediocre-looking. Now although he has military power, he has the rank of general. But he never "messed with flowers" outside, and always respected Ma as his 'senior sister' (military advisor). Big things and small things are willing to listen to the 'senior sister counselor'. I just want to put the lord of the dragon vein of Tianzigang on the throne to this kind of man who respects women's rights. The Queen Mother said for a long time, but she didn't say whether this person was Zhang San or Li Si, and made a dumb riddle for Wang Lingguan to guess.

Wang Lingguan, as the commander of the heavenly pickets, thinks about the affairs of the gods all day long. For all the things of the world, the one is not about oneself, and it hangs high. Before Wang Lingguan became an immortal, the fragment of his life in the mortal world became a "classic" that was spurned by people for thousands of years. After Wang Lingguan became a god, he never wanted to look back on the past in the mortal world. Therefore, Wang Lingguan couldn't guess the dumb riddle of the Queen Mother.

"Lingguan, don't think about it. I'll tell you! He is now a general of the Yuan Dynasty named Zhu Yuanzhang. You go to Tianzigang this time and tell the thirteenth prince of Yulong, the king of Ao Yan Dragon in the West Sea, and ask him to protect Zhu Yuanzhang to become the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty! ”

"I understand."

"What do you understand! This palace asks you to pass on my message: Lei Gong, Dianmu and your three gods will go to Meitang Tianzigang together, and they will use a storm to send the 'Golden Scale Red Carp' into Dongting Lake. Let the thirteen princes of Yulong, the king of Ao Leap Dragon in the West Sea, bless the descendants of the people surnamed Zhu in Zhujiawan to be the founding emperor! You have to act at the right time, and don't let the mortal fairy world see any clues! ”

Chapter 13 The Queen Mother of the West competes for the throne of the emperor and the dragon vein

Section 2 "God Bless the Strong as Emperor"

"What do you understand! This palace asks you to pass on my message: Lei Gong, Dianmu and your three gods will go to Meitang Tianzigang together, and they will use a storm to send the 'Golden Scale Red Carp' into Dongting Lake. Let the thirteen princes of Yulong, the king of Ao Leap Dragon in the West Sea, bless the descendants of the people surnamed Zhu in Zhujiawan to be the founding emperor! You have to act at the right time, and don't let the mortal fairy world see any clues! ”

"I understand."

"Go now, go back!"

"Retire!"

After Wang Lingguan received the holy decree of the Queen Mother. led Lei Gong and Dianmu to the Tianzigang area to "cast spells". When the "Golden Scale Red Carp" jumped into the ninth puddle after falling and injuring himself. There was a storm just right, and the "golden-scaled red carp" was swept into the Xiangjiang River in a very timely manner. Wang Lingguan had a hatred for Zhu Bajie and Chang'e, so that the "Wulong Mountain" mountain god had an earthquake in the wild dog rock mountain, and the farrowing floor where Zhu Bajie and Chang'e had a tryst came to a great change, and the original cyan rocks were all turned into the ground, and the huge red rocks were transported from the east side of the gods to cover it. The original farrowing grass has since become extinct. As a result, Wild Dog Rock Mountain became a two-color stone mountain with half cyan rock and half red rock. The spring water gushing out of this stone crack is called "the bottom well" by the locals. The spring water flows through about 50 miles and flows into the Xiangjiang River. The Xiangjiang River flows about 400 miles into Dongting Lake. Therefore. In fact, the spring water of the "bottom well" is also one of the birthplaces of the Xiangjiang River water system.

When the "three-colored" water is connected with the water from the ninth puddle and the stream through which the water of the original Meitang Spring flows here. The muddy water in the ninth puddle, which was originally "red", was soon mixed with the "three-colored water". When this torrent flowed into the river leading to the Xiangjiang River like a galloping horse, as fast as lightning, I saw that there was a "golden phosphorus red carp" weighing more than ten catties in the flood in the "three-color water", and at the same time, there were thousands of "eight-whiskered" catfish that transformed after the loach took the cocoon skin when Wujing Xian's feet were in full swing. The landscape is majestic and exciting! There is a poem as proof:

Torrential rain falls from the sky to the stream

The mound leaps into the cave garden

Catfish split the royal road for warriors

The turtle is a minister who stands at the palace gate

The red glow blooms to welcome the new king

The autumn thunder shook the living beings

Immortal blessing God fights for the Son of Heaven Gang

The fish leaps and the dragon flies Zhu Yuanzhang

When the "Golden Phosphorus Red Carp" entered the Xiangjiang River with the flood under the cluster of catfish, the "Golden Phosphorus Red Carp" jumped out of the water nine times in a row and turned into a golden dragon. It turned out that this "Golden Phosphorus Red Carp" was the incarnation of the Thirteenth Prince of Yulong, the Dragon King of Ao Leap Dragon in the West Sea. Because the dragon king wants to keep the secret of the image of the real dragon. The red rock that incarnated the thirteenth prince into a "golden phosphorus red carp" was preserved in the mortal world. Therefore, no mortal has ever seen a real dragon look like. The painter also drew an abstract image of a dragon based on legend. The thirteenth prince of the jade dragon came to Dongting Lake with the support of the catfish guard, stayed in the dragon palace, sat on the dragon king's chair, and held a major event in the water tribe. When the thirteen princes of the jade dragon were swimming in the Xiangjiang River, Wang Lingguan ordered the water god to convey the message of the queen mother to the thirteen princes of the jade dragon: during the reign of the thirteen princes of the water tribe, Zhu Yuanzhang, a descendant of the people surnamed Zhu in Zhujiawan, who was at the foot of the Son of Heaven Gang, became the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Chen Youliang and proclaimed the emperor on the fourth day of the first month of 1368 AD. Become the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty! Tianzigang has become a mortal holy place for dragon vein manifestations because Zhu Yuanzhang was called emperor!

According to folk history, the displacement of the lord of the dragon vein holy land in Tianzigang evolved into a legendary story of "immortal blessing and divine dispute". Tang monk Chen Xuanzang's heavenly book that has been preserved in the mortal world is all effective! Kuang Hongtao, the abbot master of Hengshan Temple in Nanyue, presided over the opening of the coffin of Chen Daocai and Zhao Meiling in 1363 A.D. 5 years after the ceremony of "protecting the fish into the (Xiang) River", Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne and became the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Historical facts show that the Queen Mother moved the Lord of the Dragon Vein of Tianzigang to the throne, showing that the Queen Mother's "selection of talents and talents" is better than Guanyin Bodhisattva. Chen Youliang, selected by Guanyin Bodhisattva, is a "general" talent, and Zhu Yuanzhang, who was selected by the Queen Mother, is a "handsome" talent.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a native of Zhongli, Haozhou (now east of Fengyang County, Anhui Province). Zhu Yuanzhang was born in a poor peasant family, and was a landlord shepherd boy when he was a child. In 1344 A.D., he suffered from drought and plague, and when he was desperate, he went to Huangjue Temple as a monk. When he traveled to Huaixi, the Red Turban Army uprising broke out, so he defected to the Guo Zixing rebel army in Haozhou in 1352 AD. Because of his courage and wisdom, he was reused by Guo Zixing and changed to a pro-soldier, and matched his adopted daughter Ma with him. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang continued to expand his ranks, led his troops south, and was awarded the title of left deputy marshal by Han Lin'er's Song regime in 1355 AD. In 1356 A.D., he conquered Jiqing, renamed Yingtianfu (now Nanjing City, Jiangsu) and was awarded the title of Pingzhang of Jiangnan Province by the Song Dynasty, and proclaimed himself the Duke of Wu. After that, he defeated Chen Youliang and called him King of Wu. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang eliminated Zhang Shicheng successively. Shen killed Han Lin'er. The fourth day of the first month of the first month of 1368 A.D. Salute and call the emperor in the Heavenly Temple! The country name is Daming. The building year is called "Hongwu", and Yingtian is Kyoto.

In August 1368, the Ming army conquered the capital of Yuan (now Beijing) and died. Since then, Zhu Yuanzhang has spent more than ten years pacifying the country!

Zhu Yuanzhang is worthy of being a generation of Ming Jun. Chen Youliang is slightly less coquettish than that. Zhu Yuanzhang was born in poverty, and the life of the emperor and queen still maintained a simple and frugal nature. Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't like to drink, and he is not like other emperors who are amorous and play with women everywhere. When Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor, he didn't like to use luxury goods. Chen Youliang didn't like to use luxury goods before he became an emperor. After Chen Youliang was defeated, the governor of Jiangnan Province gave Chen Youliang a gold-cut bed to Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang said after seeing it: "What is the difference between this and Meng Chang's Seven Treasure Drowning Device." "Immediately ordered someone to smash it into broken iron!

Zhu Yuanzhang has the demeanor of a generation of "heroes". During his reign, he surveyed the household registration, cleared the land, built a fish scale atlas, built water conservancy, promoted tuntian, and rewarded farming. These measures are very beneficial to the recovery and development of social production after the war! In order to consolidate the newly established Ming Dynasty. In addition to sending his sons to guard the important towns and formulate various systems for the vassal kings, Zhu Yuanzhang also implemented spy rule over hundreds of officials, repeatedly set up prisons, and indiscriminately killed civil and military officials! Zhu Yuanzhang sent a large number of inspectors to monitor the words and deeds of hundreds of officials, set up brocade guards, and tortured prisoners. Inspections are all over the yamen. Once, the minister Qian Zai went home and casually recited a poem. "The four drums are dressed in winter and winter, and it is too late to see them at noon. When will you have pastoral happiness and sleep until the food in the world is cooked. "After the school is inspected, it will be reported to the emperor in time. The next day. Zhu Yuanzhang said to Qian Zai: "You wrote a good poem yesterday. However, I don't have a "suspicion". How about changing it to the word "worry"? Frightened, Qian Zai broke out in a cold sweat and kowtowed again and again to apologize! The school is also responsible for monitoring the words and deeds of the families of hundreds of officials. Once, the inspector heard that a female monk lured the wives of ministers Hua Gao and Hu Dahai to believe in Western monks and practice the "Jin Yuan Teaching" method. Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ordered the wives of the two ministers, along with the female monk, to be thrown into the river and executed.

Zhu Yuanzhang's style of rectification is ingenious. Zhu Yuanzhang himself is not very literate, but he is ingenious in rectifying his literary style, and he will leave a legacy for eternity! He demanded that the ministers' recitals be concise and concise. In order to rectify the style of writing, he took Ru Taisu, the head of the Criminal Department, under the knife. Ru Taisu, the director of the Criminal Department, wrote a book of 10,000 words. After Zhu Yuanzhang asked people to read 6,370 words, he didn't hear any specific suggestions, and they were all empty words. Zhu Yuanzhang immediately forgave and ordered someone to beat Ru Taisu severely. The next night, he asked for someone to continue. The topic is only touched upon when you read 16,500 words. Ru Taisu made five suggestions, four of which were approved by Zhu Yuanzhang and immediately ordered to be implemented! At that time, he warned his subordinates that 500 words were enough to write this recital. In the future, it is not allowed to write long and verbose! He later admitted that he was tired of hearing that it was wrong for Ru Taisu to beat Ru Taisu, and praised Ru Taisu as a loyal minister.

Zhu Yuanzhang is a scholar. He himself did not strive to learn when he was young. Therefore, in the early period of conquering the world and becoming emperor, the learned literati such as Li Shanchang, Liu Ji, and Zhu Sheng were very important. Zhu Yuanzhang attaches great importance to the cultural education of his sons. After Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he invited the best scholars in the country to be teachers for his sons. He asked his sons to study and cultivate virtue with their hearts. Zhu Yuanzhang said to the teachers: A piece of pure gold has to be built by a master craftsman. A piece of beautiful jade also needs a good jade craftsman to carve into a vessel! If a disciple is good and does not seek the Master, will he not become a disciple who loves gold and jade? A good teacher should set a good example. Teach according to the situation and teach according to the talent, and cultivate talents. My children will be in charge of the country in the future, and the disciples of Chu Gongchen will also be officials. Educating people is mainly about righteousness. With a good heart, everything can be done. The heart is not right, Chu wants to attack, and it is very unacceptable. Educational methods should give prominence to practical learning and teaching. You don't need to learn from ordinary scribes, you just memorize dictionaries, you can't use them flexibly, and it's useless. Under Zhu Yuanzhang's strict education, when Chu Zi became an adult, he was mostly capable and could do things. Some are good at commanding troops, some are good at writing, and some are well-equipped with civil and military skills. Zhu Yuanzhang severely reprimanded several sons who were not angry, and did not tolerate them even after death. The second son was at fault during his lifetime. After his death, Zhu Yuanzhang personally called him "Han". The ten sons took the golden stone in order to live forever, and the poison hurt their eyes. After his death, Zhu Yuanzhang personally called him a "famine". to show derogation.

Zhu Yuanzhang is diligent and close to the people. Zhu Yuanzhang said that the emperor often paid private visits and cared about his subordinates. He sometimes changed into civilian clothes and went out to inspect the people's situation in person. One day, he suddenly walked into the home of Luo Furen, a scholar at Hongwenkan. Luo Furen lives in an alley outside the city, and three generations, young and old, live in a few dilapidated and crooked houses. At that time, Luo Furen was climbing on a ladder and whitewashing the wall. When he saw the emperor arrive, he was so frightened that he hurriedly asked his wife to take a small bench and invite Zhu Yuanzhang to sit in front of the door. Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Luo Furen's house was so simple. said kindly: "How can a good show live in such a dilapidated house!" "The next day, I went to court. Zhu Yuanzhang gave Luo Furen a large mansion in the city.

Zhu Yuanzhang punished corrupt officials and tortured them. Zhu Yuanzhang is a well-known Ming monarch who punished officials who violated the law with heavy punishments. A.D. 1358. When Zhu Yuanzhang attacked Jinhua, due to the lack of food, he strictly banned alcohol. The son of the general Hu Dahai banned winemaking. Zhu Yuanzhang ordered him to be executed. Wang Kai persuaded him: Hu Dahai is leading troops to besiege Shaoxing, and it is not appropriate to kill his son, so it is better to spare him. Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I'd rather Hu Dahai rebel than break my order!" After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang personally pulled out his sword and killed Hu Dahai's son.

After Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, the punishment of illegal officials was more severe. Tens of thousands of people were killed. The cruelty of criminal law is also rare. In addition to the commonly used beheadings and tribal punishments. There are also shabu-shabu, weighing rods, intestine pumping, peeling, knee digging, stoneing, etc. He also set up a straw man in front of some yamen, and after executing the officials who were guilty of corruption and bribery in these yamen, he peeled off the whole human skin and covered the straw man. Let the officials who come in and out as a warning! These various forms of torture shrouded the court officials in an atmosphere of extreme panic, and everyone was worried and suspicious.

Zhu Yuanzhang's murder is also different. When the subordinates saw him go to court, if he put the jade belt under his belly, this was a signal to kill a large number of people, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were so frightened that their faces were colorless, and they all trembled. If the jade belt is high on the chest. Today, Fu Xing shines brightly, and he will not open the killing ring. Every day when the court officials leave home, they have to say goodbye to their family (wife) and give instructions on the future. If you come back alive on this day. The family celebrated, and finally lived one more day.

Zhu Yuanzhang killed the literati "without stirring up the brutal killing". Zhu Yuanzhang was very prosperous** and took the opportunity to suppress the literati who were dissatisfied with his rule. For example, Lin Yuanliang, a professor of Zhejiang Fuxue, wrote a thanksgiving table for others and wrote a sentence "Doing the Constitution". Zhu Yuanzhang insisted on saying "then", which was to scold him as a thief. Jiang Zhen, the instructor of Changzhou Mansion, helped people write the first congratulatory table, which has a sentence "wise and knowledgeable". Zhu Yuanzhang insisted on mistaking "life" for "monk". thought that he deliberately scolded him for being a monk. Because of these two "words", Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately executed Lin and Jiang. Zhu Yuanzhang believed that his use of such severe means to suppress his subordinates and purge the rule of officials was necessary at the beginning of governing the country. But this is only a stopgap measure and should not be used for a long time. Therefore, in his later years, Zhu Yuanzhang specially ordered that future generations should be strictly prohibited from following suit.

Zhu Yuanzhang killed the generals to ensure that the grandson succeeded to the throne firmly. Zhu Yuanzhang's killing of heroes was the most serious one among the emperors of all dynasties. In Zhu Yuanzhang's later years, the founding heroes were almost killed by him. He was imprisoned repeatedly. The two largest of these were the Hu Weiyong case and the Lan Yu case. Hu Weiyong was the prime minister of Zuo, and in 1380 A.D. he was accused of plotting rebellion without authority. Zhu Yuanzhang not only killed him, but also connected more than 10,000 people. Zhu Yuanzhang took the opportunity to cancel the Zhongshu Province. Since then, there will be no more prime ministers. The emperor directly manages government affairs.

Lan Yu is a highly decorated general and was named the Duke of Liangguo. In 1393, the officials of the Jinyi Guard denounced him for rebellion. Zhu Yuanzhang also killed him. More than 15,000 people were condemned by the clan. Almost all the brave generals were killed in this case.

Xu Da is the first founding hero, he has always been cautious, and he can't get out of the door, so that Zhu Yuanzhang has never been able to find an excuse to get rid of him. In 1385 AD, Xu Da had gangrene on his back. It is said that the most taboo to eat steamed goose is this disease. Zhu Yuanzhang took the opportunity to envoy the minister to give him the steamed goose to eat. Xu Da had to eat the steamed goose in front of the envoy with tears. Soon after, Xu Da died of illness.

Zhu Yuanzhang's merit in handing over imperial power lies in the establishment of the crown prince. Zhu Yuanzhang learned the lesson of not having a prince in the early Yuan Dynasty and causing many palace coups in the court, and when he was called King Wu, he set up his eldest son Zhu Biao as the son. Called the emperor and established him as the crown prince. Zhu Yuanzhang hired famous scholars and important court officials to teach the crown prince. When the crown prince became an adult, he let him handle political affairs and learn to govern the country. Zhu Yuanzhang also often taught him to be benevolent, clear, diligent, and decisive, so that he could keep the world. However, Zhu Biao was naturally gentle and elegant, as if he were a Confucian student. He was loyal by nature and did not approve of his father's murder. Whenever Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kill a hero, he always had to dissuade him and ask his father to be benevolent and take into account family friendship and brotherly love. For this reason, father and son often quarrel. Once Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to punish the prince's teacher Song Zhikang. Zhu Biao cried and pleaded. Zhu Yuanzhang forgave and said: "When you become the emperor, you will pardon him." When the prince heard this, he was so frightened that he committed suicide by throwing himself into the water and was rescued left and right.

Another time, Zhu Biao advised his father: "Your Majesty kills people too much, and I am afraid of hurting and being angry." Zhu Yuanzhang was silent at the time. The next day, Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately threw a cane to the ground and asked Zhu Biao to pick it up. Zhu Biao didn't dare to take it because of the scepter on it. Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You are afraid and dare not take it." Wouldn't it be better for me to pluck it out and give it to you? Zhu Biao said: "There is the king of Yao Shun above, and there are the people of Yao Shun below." It means that there is benevolence above and benevolence below. Zhu Yuanzhang listened to the great forgiveness, grabbed a chair and threw it at Zhu Biao. Frightened, Zhu Biao fled into the inner room, and since then he has been frightened and sick, depressed and died.

Zhu Yuanzhang ironclad the "patriarchal system" and forcibly handed over the imperial power to the grandson. Zhu Yuanzhang was poor in his early years, worked hard in middle age, and was busy with state affairs all day after the age of 40, so that after the age of 50, he felt physically exhausted, tachycardia, and often had high fever. As soon as the crown prince died, he was overly sad and his body became weaker and weaker. The hair and beard have turned white, which belongs to Alzheimer's disease. He appointed Zhu Biao's eldest son, 16-year-old Zhu Yunwen, as his grandson. He was afraid that the grandson would not be able to control the important ministers, so he killed the heroes again. Even the only remaining founding fathers, Fu Youde and Feng Sheng, were killed under the pretext of some reason. He was also worried that his children and grandchildren would compete with his grandson for the throne, so he specially compiled "Yongjianlu" and "Huangming Zuxun". Ask your children and grandchildren to obey the "patriarchal system." And stipulated, whoever changes the ancestral system will be punished as a traitor, and he will be killed! It is hoped that everyone will obey the little emperor and maintain the long-term peace of the Zhu dynasty.

In the leap month of May 1398, Zhu Yuanzhang was exhausted and finally fell ill. At the end of the sacrifice, the illness worsened and turned critical, so he made an edict saying that he said that the emperor had been "anxious and diligent every day" for 31 years. These two sentences are not only a portrayal of his life's hard work, but also reveal his state of mind in the midst of a fierce struggle within the ruling class. The widow ordered his grandson Zhu Yunwen to succeed him. The princes each guarded the vassal kingdom, and there was no need to go to Beijing for funeral, in case something happened. On the second day, Zhu Yuanzhang died of illness in the West Palace of Kyoto.

After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, he was promoted as Emperor Gao, and the temple name was Taizu.

Zhu Yuanzhang found many painters to paint his portraits before his death, and the paintings were very realistic. Because Zhu Yuanzhang looks indecent, the more realistic the painting, the more dissatisfied he is. Later, a painter guessed his thoughts, and painted a face that resembled the outline of the face, and the face was kind and kind. Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with this painting, and ordered people to draw many copies and give them to his sons. Therefore, there are two versions of the portrait of Ming Taizu, one is his true face; The other is a beautifying pen!

Zhu Yuanzhang's trade feng shui comes from divine fate. Zhu Yuanzhang's grave was chosen by himself before his death. No one can tell whether Zhu Yuanzhang believed in feng shui in his later years, and whether he is inextricably linked with the Tianzigang Dragon Vein Holy Land? Zhu Yuanzhang's tomb is located on Mount Everest at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain in Nanjing. When he chose the cemetery, he saw that it was the main peak of Zhongshan Mountain in the north and Xuanwu Lake in the west. It's a pity that there is a tomb of Sun Quan on the south side of Mount Everest. blocked Zhu Yuanzhang's tomb. His Majesty proposed to demolish Sun Quan's tomb in order to smooth the wind and water. Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Don't dismantle it." Sun Quan is also a good man. Keep him standing guard for me! Therefore, the existing tomb road of Zhu Yuanzhang is not due south and east, but turns east and west.
