Chapter 179: Four Great Treasures
Indeed, Zheng He's trip to the West cost about 6 million taels of silver, which was equivalent to twice the annual expenditure of the national treasury at that time, and this did not include the cost of shipbuilding and other local expenditures. Now that the relevant materials have been obtained, why continue?
Huangfu Fengliu said again: "And Zheng He's fifth trip to the West was in the fifteenth year of Yongle and came back in the seventeenth year; Yao Guangxiao died in the capital the year before, that is, in the sixteenth year of Yongle, so how did those things go? ”
Master Wuzuo said: "Well, independent thinking is an important quality for feng shui masters!" In fact, the old monk also asked this question back then. ”
It turns out that although the artifact has been built, it still needs to be activated! Today we know that there are seven continents on the earth; Through Zheng He's voyage and the territory of the country itself, Yao Guangxiao has found the six major treasures corresponding to the seven stars in the sky: Asia, Europe, Africa, South America, North America, and Oceania, these corresponding treasures are all complete, but they lack the Heaven and Earth Cold Crystal of Antarctica as a stabilizer for the artifact.
The ancient Chinese have always recorded and longed for Antarctica. In many Taoist scriptures, it has been mentioned that the Antarctic Immortal, that is, the old birthday star, also known as the Antarctic True Monarch, the Immortal Emperor, and the Jade Halal King; Corresponds to the six stars of the Southern Dipper in the sky.
As the continent with the highest average altitude in the world, it is covered with snow and ice all year round and the temperature is extremely low, making it unrealistic for a large fleet to visit. Therefore, under the arrangement of Yao Guangxiao, Zheng He sent people to sail into the Antarctic region by a small ice boat and brought back the symbol of the seven stars of the last continent.
Although Yao Guangxiao died of illness before Zheng He returned to China, he had already anticipated the outcome of this trip; I also understand that the seven stars correspond to the seven continents in ancient China, but Jiang Ziya, Zhuge Liang and others cannot determine or can do further research: because of the technology, national strength and navigation technology at that time, they can only hide this secret in the classics for future generations to discover.
Yao Guangxiao is grateful for the era in which he lives. But I also feel a little guilty.
Because he had killed too much in his life, he also hoped that this incident could reduce the suffering of the people of Limin, so he made a very good arrangement before he died.
Including Zheng He's five trips to the West.
The real Yao Guangxiao planned to go to the West, just these five times; However, after Zheng He returned to China, he found Yao Guangxiao's relics and went to look for new things twice. But what it is, whether it has been found or not, is unknown—
Everyone was silent, listening to Master Wuzuo's narration, and when they arrived here, Master Wuzuo breathed a sigh of relief. There was a pause for a moment. But everyone's thoughts couldn't stop. They all asked, "Did that artifact succeed?" "After Yao Guangxiao's death, how did this treasure spread?"
The most critical question was Huangfu Fengliu: "Then what does this have to do with today's events and Dongsang?" ”
"Legend has it that the artifact has been developed and secretly placed in a mysterious location. There is a family that has been in charge of it for generations! ”
Gu Guoping asked: "Does this family have a lot to do with Yangyuantang, Jade Plaque Society, etc.?" ”
Master Wuzuo said slowly and heavily: "There is something to do with it. But not in one vein; this family. It's today's Earth Tribulation Gate! ”
"Raiding the Gate??" Fan Xiaolong completely forgot to smoke the cigarette in his hand!
This artifact was kept by the contractor? Isn't that for wolves to watch children? Let the pervert keep the pure beautiful girl??
Huangfu Fengliu said with a slight scar: "Then ...... Yao Guangxiao?" ”
Yes, this arrangement is too surprising! It simply doesn't make sense.
Wuzuo said: "Don't worry, everyone. You'll understand. According to Yao Guangxiao's will, Emperor Yongle hid a treasure sufficient to restore the country in four places, east, south, west, and north, which were guarded by the descendants of the families of the four feng shui masters who participated in the secrecy at that time. But they are only responsible for guarding, but the key to unlocking the treasure mechanism is in the hands of Yao Aihu's heirs. ”
Huangfu Feng said: "So, the treasure is divided into four parts? Then why is it said that it is the Earth Tribulation Gate family that cares for the traversing artifact? ”
"The Earth Tribulation Gate is actually the West Family, and it is this crossing artifact that they have been guarding for generations; The contents of the treasures guarded by the eastern, southern, and northern families are not known to tea fans; But what is certain is that since they are on par with the Crossing Artifact, these must also be treasures that can revive a dynasty! ”
Gu Guoping asked: "Since you know the contents of the treasures of the Xi family, why don't you know the other three of the Lu Dao?" ”
Master Wuzuo shook his head and said: "According to Yao Guangxiao's arrangement, in fact, even the content of the treasure of the Xi family should not be known by the seventh person, but it was only passed on by the descendants of the Xi family later!" ”
"Can't be known by the seventh person?" Shen Jun asked worriedly: "How can it be ......?"
Master Wuzuo sighed slightly: "In each dynasty in the later generations, there are only six people who know that these treasures exist: the emperor of the dynasty, the descendants of the Yao family, and the successors of the other four families. But Emperor Yongle made a last oath: future generations of kings are not allowed to explore the location of this treasure, these four treasures, only when the family and country are in danger of the collapse of the country can be opened, if there is a treasure to flatter the monarch, the other four heirs of the family with the Dan book to kill without forgiveness! ”
Huangfu Feng Liuwu said: "The change of civil engineering, the emperor was also captured first, why didn't anyone activate the treasure?" ”
"The change of civil engineering Ming Yingzong was captured, and the descendants of the Yao family originally wanted to find the descendants of the North family - because according to legend the treasure of the North family is in the capital - to start a treasure, but the Queen Mother designated Yingzong's younger brother to supervise the country and succeed to the throne, and later Yu Qian organized the defense of Beijing and succeeded, according to the admonition of Chengzu to "die the king and not die in the country", the Yao and Northern families finally gave up. ”
Painting madness: "It seems that Yongle is to avoid future generations from competing for the throne and activate the treasure, so he set up a testament; But he always set a bad example! ”
Master Wuzuo said: "Although there is a problem with the example, the Ming Dynasty did not want Li Tang to continue the palace coups after Taizong, so this treasure has been buried in the ground for a long time." Later, Wuzong drowned and did not establish an heir, and as soon as Sejong entered the foreign domain, the later emperors of the Ming Dynasty began to know the existence of this treasure. ”-
Huangfu Fengliu suddenly thought of the financial difficulties at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Chongzhen had the heart to govern the country but it was difficult to cook without rice, so he had to increase the number of people who were displaced and couldn't help asking: "When Chongzhen, the country was in danger, the finances were unsustainable, and the country saw the collapse, why did it ......?"
Master Wuzuo said: "At that time, the descendants of the Yao family did intend to activate the treasure to maintain the difficulties, because among the four treasures in the legend, there are not only legendary treasures like artifacts, but also wealth that rivals the country!" But the other four disagreed. Because their ancestral edict clearly stipulates that the treasure can only be activated when "the capital of the country is overturned", then they will be crowned as national teachers and enjoy the treatment of princes in their descendants. Otherwise, not only will it be useless, but the other three can participate in the court to accuse him of violating the will and ask him about his crimes. ”
It seems that Cheng Zu left a treasure, not to deal with the difficult situation, but to save the world.
The descendants of the Yao family only hold the key but do not know the specific address of the treasure, and they cannot find the treasure.
Speaking of this, Huangfu Fengliu finally understood the meaning of the sentence "One heavy and two old men are from the prince, and the three talents and four seasons are like feudal marquis"!
"And what happened?" Ying Shuang'er asked. (To be continued......)
