Chapter 37: The Lost Promise
Hearing what Chunting said, I knew that I was wrong again this time.
Thinking about it carefully, it is actually normal for me to have such thoughts, because according to the cognition of normal people, the general public will associate it like this, but once the true relationship between Zhu Yuanzhang and Chang Yuchun is known, this statement will obviously be self-defeating.
As Chunting said, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that this world should actually belong to Chang Yuchun, but Chang Yuchun had no intention of sitting on the seat above the ten thousand people, so he successfully retired and exchanged the world for the place where the statue built by Zhu Yuanzhang with all his heart.
From this point of view, the "eternal roots" on the Fengyang Drum Tower are completely different from what we think, these four words are not used by Zhu Yuanzhang to praise the land of dragon prosperity, nor are they intended to tell the world, even after thousands of generations, the world is still the country of the Zhu family.
The real meaning of these four words is actually to allude to the position we are in now, that is, to allude to the "eternal roots" of the city tower in front of us with the "eternal roots" on the drum tower!
In Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, Chang Yuchun is the real "eternal foundation" of the Ming Dynasty!
After thinking about it for a while, there shouldn't be any problem this time, I said my new idea to Chunting, although he didn't nod, but with what I knew about him, he didn't deny it to prove that what I thought this time was right.
After solving another question in our hearts, we continued to look down, and under the four big characters of "Wan Shi Fundamental" on the forehead of the door, that is, in the door hole of the city tower, there was a stone plate hanging, and there was a chain on the stone plate, connecting the city tower and the stone plate.
We approached the stone plate, and found that there were three horizontal rows and three vertical columns on the stone plate, neatly arranged with numbers from one to ninety-nine, and the more I looked at it, the more familiar it became, and for a moment I couldn't remember where I had seen it.
"Obediently, there is a landline phone in the Ming Dynasty?"
Shen Lang was startled on the side, I glanced at him angrily, looked at the stone plate again, and couldn't help but be speechless.
It was no wonder that he thought so much, the arrangement on this stone plate was indeed very similar to the telephone buttons.
"This ......"
I don't know how to explain this, if the ancients had a telephone, it's a bit unbelievable, I looked at the spring pavilion, this time I really can't justify myself.
"What a fuss, it's just a coincidence, look at the side."
Chun Ting really couldn't stand our rare and strange eyes, so he opened his mouth impatiently and pointed to the right side of the city tower.
Chunting's words, Xue Nan naturally did not refute, she walked to the direction of Chunting, and found that a few words were actually carved on this city wall, and if you look carefully, it is exactly the same as Zhu Yuanzhang's handwriting on the stone.
"This text was actually engraved here by Zhu Yuanzhang himself?"
Xue Nan couldn't help but be surprised, and exclaimed, what kind of identity Zhu Yuanzhang was, he would actually carve words on the city wall with a knife in his hand, which shows how important this text is.
Chunting seemed dissatisfied with our reaction, waved his hand impatiently, and said something that surprised me even more.
"You don't care who left it, the focus is on the content left, Han Chuan, you go over and take a closer look, the life and death of this group of people are now in your hands."
Although I didn't know how these simple words could be linked to everyone's life and death, but seeing that he didn't intend to say anything, I had to carefully look at the words on the wall and try to find something in them.
Haozhou Chenghuang pities the young son.
Emperor Shun fled to the capital with his son.
But the man of God was no longer left.
It's not as rich as Jiangnan.
There are only these four sentences on the city wall, and there is nothing else, and these four sentences have nothing to do with each other, not like a smooth ancient poem, but like a casual handwriting, is there another mystery in it?
Thinking of the mechanism we cracked all the way under the Baqiao, since this is also the place where the statue is placed, and Zhu Yuanzhang, a scheming person, personally presided over the construction, it is impossible to come here without a mechanism.
I tentatively touched the stone plate downstairs with my fingers, and sure enough, as I expected, the nine numbers on the stone plate were not made of solid casting, but could be pressed.
"Is this the password of the stone plate?"
I looked at Chunting, and although my tone was questioning, my eyes were unusually affirmative.
"That's right, this city gate is the clue left by Zhu Yuanzhang, or the barrier."
Chunting sat down again, with a casual attitude, but the words in his mouth revealed a dusty history.
"Chang Yuchun once told Zhu Yuanzhang that someone here will come to explore the mystery in the future, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang that if the country is turbulent, his descendants can come here to ask for help, Zhu Yuanzhang knows Chang Yuchun's ability, so he naturally keeps it in mind, and specially built this city tower here, this city tower is the last protection he set up for this."
"Brother Ting, then why didn't he try to come here to ask for help when Chongzhen was in the past, thinking that Chang Yuchun would not make promises to Zhu Yuanzhang with such an identity."
At this time, Ling Xuan was finally the same as we used to be, his face was full of doubt, and his face was no longer as uninhibited as before.
Perhaps because Zhu Yunwen was also the leader of Guanshan, Chunting was respectful every time he mentioned it.
"The world is unpredictable, such an important matter, Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely not make a fuss to the world, he will only mention it to his heir, but the heir in his heart is Emperor Jianwen, so can you figure it out?"
Xue Nan suddenly spoke on the side, I remembered the first time I came into contact with Zhu Yunwen, it was she who told me, I guess she had worked hard to understand.
"I see, I see. As a result, Zhu Di replaced Emperor Jianwen in the name of the Qing monarch, and this promise of Chang Yuchun, Emperor Jianwen naturally would not inform Zhu Di, so that this promise was lost at that time, no wonder Chongzhen did not come here to seek help from Guanshan when he was in such a crisis. ”
Chunting nodded, and finally an approving expression appeared on his face.
"That's right, Zhu Yuanzhang only told Emperor Jianwen one person, and told Emperor Jianwen to pass it on to the people who sat on the throne in later generations, but I didn't expect it to be passed on for a lifetime, and the country changed hands, although it is still the world of the Zhu family, this promise has long been lost."
"The few sentences next to it represent the order of cracking this stone plate, from top to bottom, each sentence represents a number, if everything is right, if it is wrong, Zhu Yuanzhang is decisive, presumably he doesn't mind a few more corpses in such an important place."
I believe what Chunting said, although Zhu Yuanzhang won the 95th Five-Year Plan of Jiangshan Longdeng with the help of Chang Yuchun, but he himself changed from a small beggar to the founder of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang and his people were decisive in killing with sword eyebrows and iron faces, and they ordered the Quartet not to obey. Wuqu sits in the palace, and the three parties and the four are happy to see Zuo Fu, Right Bi, Tiankui, and Tianyue. Those who are corrupt, martial, martial, martial, or military and other groups of people who enter the palace of fate are in charge of military and political affairs, have a resolute temperament, and are decisive in dealing with things without the risk of indecision.
If we can't find the right order to crack it, it means that we are not the people he or Chang Yuchun wants to come here, and that may really trigger the mechanism that he stays here to kill people.
My intuition told me that Chunting knew the real mystery of these words, but he still didn't speak, just sat on the ground by himself, and the light in his eyes was the color of nostalgia that I couldn't understand.
There is no way, we can only rely on ourselves, we gather together, starting from the first sentence to try to decipher the mystery.
Haozhou Chenghuang pity the young son!
