Chapter 30: The New Moon Poem
"Although Hu Weiyong is a noble prime minister, he may not be important in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but history has mixed evaluations of Zhu Yuanzhang, and a large part of it is related to his massacre of the founding fathers." Yue Qianling said thoughtfully.
I thought about Yue Qianling's words, although the words engraved on the stone wall, although they all hide the correct numbers of the nine-square grid, it is not difficult to see that every sentence of words is more or less a major event that happened in Zhu Yuanzhang's life.
As Yue Qianling said, although Hu Weiyong is the head of the hundred officials, his achievements are not prominent, it can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang is really nothing in his heart, why did he mention this matter alone in the text.
I slowly raised my head and asked meaningfully.
"What year is Zhu Yuanzhang Shaohu Weiyong?"
"Hongwu six years! Since Hu Weiyong's case, Zhu Yuanzhang began to purge the Ming Dynasty. Yue Qianling replied.
"Six years of Hongwu...... Six years, it's six! "It dawned on me." The real meaning of this sentence left by Zhu Yuanzhang is not to kill a Hu Weiyong, but in his heart, the Ming Dynasty has entered a new era since the sixth year of Hongwu. ”
As I had speculated, I was secretly relieved that the square that had stepped on six was safe and sound, and there were still two last sentences left, and I was getting closer and closer to the stone gate opposite.
However, the sin has provoked the hatred of the heavens.
"Guilt, in ancient times, guilt meant blame and self-blame, and Zhu Yuanzhang was the emperor, so he should also be guilty of himself." I was surprised.
"The question is...... If I'm not mistaken, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't issue an edict in the history of the Ming Dynasty? Qiunuo shook his head and said.
"And the latter sentence provokes the enmity, it is not difficult to see from the extent to which Zhu Yuanzhang cares about the jade seal of the country, he believes that the imperial power is deep-rooted, and provokes the enmity, what is it in his heart that God can't get along with him?" I was puzzled.
"It stands to reason that Zhu Yuanzhang has gone from a beggar to an emperor, and his life has been smooth and smooth, it seems that God is good to him, what else does he have to complain about?" Xiao Lianshan said disdainfully. "Everything he can get, what's not to be satisfied with?"
"That's right...... Lian Shan's words also reminded me, what is there in Zhu Yuanzhang's life that is not content, so that he can complain about God unscrupulously? I frowned and muttered to myself.
"If that's the case, then it's really hard to say, a person lives a life more or less unsatisfactory, even if Zhu Yuanzhang is an emperor, he can't do everything he wants, who knows what he is entangled in?" Gu Anqi complained.
"The whole world is not the king's land, the whole world is in his hands, how can Zhu Yuanzhang care about ordinary things, it must be a matter that he can't do anything and can't solve it with his own rights." Qiunuo said thoughtfully.
What is there that an emperor cannot solve? I suddenly thought of Wu Zetian, the woman who relied on time to defeat everything, and my eyes lit up and I said loudly.
"It's time! The only thing Zhu Yuanzhang can't control is time, provoking hatred, he thinks that the time left by God for him is too short, and the hero is twilight...... He wants to be eternal, hehe. ”
"Even if he thinks he doesn't have much time, what does it have to do with his own edict?" Gu Anqi asked.
"Twilight of Heroes...... It shows that Zhu Yuanzhang thinks that his time is short, and his guilt at this time is ....... Yue Qianling suddenly raised her head and said excitedly. It's not a sinful edict, it's a testament! ”
Qiu Nuo suddenly realized when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.
"Do you remember the content of Zhu Yuanzhang's edict?"
"I have been in the Mandate of Heaven for 30 years, and I have been anxious and diligent, and I have been diligent every day to benefit the people. Nai is from a humble beginning, without the knowledge of the ancients, good and evil, not far away. Now we have the natural principle of all things, and there is a sense of ridicule and sorrow. The emperor's grandson Yun Wei is filial piety, the world is in the heart, it is appropriate to ascend to the throne, and the civil and military ministers at home and abroad are concentric and auxiliary to the government, so as to calm the people. Funeral rituals, no gold and jade. The mountains and rivers of Xiaoling are not changed because of this. The subjects of the world, crying for three days, are all relieved, and there is no harm in marrying. The kings are in the kingdom, and they do not go to the capital. Those who are not in the order will be pushed to do so. Yue Qianling said word for word.
"That means the next number is hidden in the edict, but what does that mean?" Gu Anqi said in surprise.
I kept reading the words over and over again, shaking my head slowly.
"Provoke the heavens...... It's not the content of the edict, it's the time, it's the time when Zhu Yuanzhang made the edict! ”
"The time when Zhu Yuanzhang made his edict was the thirty-first year of Hongwu." Yue Qianling thought about it and suddenly said loudly. "It's seven, this number is seven, Zhu Yuanzhang Hongwu is thirty-one years old!"
Xiao Lianshan took the lead and carefully stepped on the grid engraved with seven, and he was really safe and sound.
Everyone saw that the stone gate on the opposite side was within reach, and their faces showed happy expressions.
The last sentence is that there is also a clear light all over Kyushu.
Unlike the other six sentences, this sentence is engraved on a separate wall, which shows that this sentence is extraordinary.
"Why did you engrave this sentence separately?" Gu Anqi asked puzzled.
"Because this sentence is different from the previous six sentences." Yue Qianling said with certainty.
"Qianling, what's the difference?" Xiao Lianshan asked.
"The previous six sentences are all related to Zhu Yuanzhang's life, but this sentence doesn't matter, it's not even written by Zhu Yuanzhang!"
"Didn't Zhu Yuanzhang write it? Since it wasn't written by him, how could it be engraved here? Who wrote this sentence? Xiao Lianshan asked three questions in a row.
"This is Prince Yuan's crescent poem." Qiunuo said calmly. "He was the last prince of the Yuan Dynasty, and after being overthrown by the Ming Dynasty, he became the emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, which was later Yuan Zhaozong."
"Zhu Yuanzhang built the 14th Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty, how did he engrave the enemy's poems here?" Gu Anqi asked unexpectedly.
"Qiu Nuo, what is the origin of this Yuan prince?" Xiao Lianshan also asked.
"Yuan Zhaozong did not have much achievements in politics, good Buddhism and calligraphy and painting, his Han cultural skills are quite profound, in addition to being able to write a Xiaojiu and strong Song Huizong calligraphy, but also do Han poems, most of his poems do not exist, and now there is only one "New Moon Poem" handed down." After Qiu Nuo finished speaking, he recited the new moon poem.
Yan Ling lost his fishing hook last night,
Who moved up to the blue cloud head?
Although there is no reunion,
There is also clear light all over Kyushu.
"Since Zhu Yuanzhang engraved one of the lines of this poem here, to understand his intentions, we must first understand the meaning of this poem." The more thunder looked back, the more Qianling became. "Raising soldiers for a thousand days is a time for you to read a doctorate, and now it's time to use it, hehe, explain to Dad, what does this poem mean."
"Although there is no reunion, there is also a clear light all over Kyushu, the meaning of this sentence is very clear, although the Great Yuan Empire has lost its unity as the ruling power of the whole of China, but the clear light of the new moon is all over Kyushu, and the Northern Yuan regime still calls itself the Great Yuan, and the rule of the Yuan Dynasty continues in the northern grasslands and northeast regions, as well as the Yunnan region in the southwest." Yue Qianling replied unhurriedly.
"This poem is very imperial, but if it falls in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, this can be regarded as a rebellious anti-poem, how could Zhu Yuanzhang tolerate such a poem, and it is still engraved here." Gu Anqi asked puzzled.
The nine-square grid has come to the present, all the people are standing in the grid engraved with seven, from the words left behind, it only takes one step to get out, and now the one that can be walked in front of you is the grid of two and the grid of nine.
That is to say, the hidden number in this sentence is either two or nine.
I have been silent, Yue Qianling thought about it and said.
"Zhu Yuanzhang has three major regrets in his life, one is that he did not pass on the jade seal of the country, and the other is that he did not recruit Wang Baobao, these three are the Yuan prince who wrote this poem, Zhu Yuanzhang has always thought that not catching the Yuan prince does not mean that the Yuan Dynasty is really destroyed, and the North Yuan has always been Zhu Yuanzhang's henchman."
"Can you think like this, Zhu Yuanzhang engraved Prince Yuan's poem here, the intention is actually very simple, even if Prince Yuan survives, but he is still the king of the dead country, Zhu Yuanzhang wants him to protect his Ming Fourteen Tombs, and watch his Ming Dynasty grow until the final elimination of the Northern Yuan." Qiunuo said thoughtfully.
"I think so too, Zhu Yuanzhang's move may be a warning entirely, the world is not unified, and there is a Northern Yuan that is ready to move." Yue Qianling nodded and said.
"The world is not unified...... There are two regimes! Gu Anqi said ecstatically. It's two! The last sentence hides the number two! ”
"That's right! Two points of the world, really two! Yue Qianling also suddenly laughed.
Xiao Lianshan heard that the hidden number had been cracked, and he raised his foot and was about to step on it, when he found that I suddenly grabbed him, and I stepped into the square engraved with nine.
The guessed number should be two, and when they saw me standing in the square of nine, Yue Qianling and the others immediately panicked.
It was too late to stop it, but I didn't expect that after a minute, I would be safe and sound.
"Hehe, I know it's not two, it's nine, right?"
"For ...... Why Nine? Yue Qianling thinks that her speculation should not be wrong.
"It's very simple, there is also clear light all over Kyushu, isn't there nine in this poem, do you need to think about anything else?" I said lightly.
"That's it...... It's as simple as that? Gu Anqi asked dumbfounded.
"Of course it's not easy!" Qiunuo walked over and said with palpitations. "The last sentence of the text is engraved on the wall alone is meaningful, Zhu Yuanzhang is suspicious by nature, the last step may be two or nine, he left a text clue, if it is interpreted according to the literal meaning, it just fell into his trap, because no one believes that Zhu Yuanzhang will reveal the real number in the text, Zhu Yuanzhang will do the opposite, as long as people who really understand him will understand his intentions, these people will only be his descendants, others come in, even if they come here, they will be misled, Zhu Yuanzhang's scheming is so heavy! ”
The stone gate was pushed open by Liu Hao, and Yue Lei stood at the door, and waited until I lit the whale oil inside, Yue Lei's mouth slowly opened wide, as if he didn't believe his eyes at all.
