Chapter Thirty-Nine: Stealing the Day
At night, Suzaku was combing her hair when she suddenly asked me, "Xianggong, that red dragon said that you are her child, then you are not a mortal?" I remember you said that in the past, your shadow was two fish, and later the shadow you saw in the bronze mirror was Yoyo, are you also a Kunpeng or a carp without a dragon?"
As soon as I heard this, I felt like I had been empowered, and I walked over and pressed Suzaku on the shoulder and said, "Dabao, is it possible? I have always lived in this world as a human being. However, what the red dragon said about my past life and this life is true, I will not comment on it, and look at the historical development context. ”
"Xianggong, you said that the Ming Dynasty and the Qing soldiers fought hotly, what else did Liu Tong and Li Zicheng get involved with?"
"Hehe, since the Ming Dynasty is going to perish, Liu Tong and Li Zicheng also want to fish in troubled waters, toss it, and fight against fate, maybe they can really fight for what kind of fame and glory to their ancestors. In the history of thousands of years in China, since the uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, the troubled people no longer believe in fate, and they have the courage to fight with fate. Looking through history, if you think about it, if Liu Bang didn't toss in the Qin and Han dynasties, he was just a hooligan; if Liu Bei didn't toss in the Three Kingdoms, he would be a straw shoe seller; if Genghis Khan didn't toss in the Southern Song Dynasty, he would be a sheep herder; if Zhu Yuanzhang didn't toss at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, he would be a beggar. I looked out the window at the moon and smiled.
"That's right, but when Liu Shu and Liu Huangtian haven't succeeded yet, they cheat and calculate with each other, aren't they all in the same vein, why do they still kill each other?"
"Dabao, people's hearts are dark, and there are many bones under any country, where is there any family affection at all. The more troubled the times, the more people cannot look directly, and when you see clearly, the heart will be cold. I hugged Suzaku and replied softly.
"All the fame and fortune in the world are just passing away, life does not bring it, death does not bring it, why bother to remember? I would rather be at ease with you, happy to old age, and not live up to a hundred years of life. Suzaku leaned into my arms and smiled.
"Dabao, when the world is peaceful, Mu Guo will let Liu Xianyuan manage it, and the two of us will go to the Tianshan Mountains to live in seclusion for the rest of our lives, and find a pure place to spend the rest of our lives, okay?" I said as I longed for the peaceful scene in the world.
"All right! Xianggong, it's late at night, let's rest quickly. Suzaku rubbed his head against my chest, and we blew out the lantern together and rested.
In the palace of the Han Kingdom, Xiao Suzi ordered a group of palace maids to bring mouthwash, face wash, and foot wash to the emperor, and waited for the emperor to finish washing and make him retreat.
"Xiao Suzi, are Princess Jian'an and Liu Huangtian okay?" Xiaoyaozi said as he pulled out his Chixiao Sword and looked at it.
"Emperor Qiqi, it is reported that the room of Liu Huangtian and Princess Jian'an was brightly lit all night, which should be a great event, and there is no mistake. According to the news from Princess Jian'an, Liu Huangtian is going to return to Jincheng tomorrow with Princess Jian'an and the emperor's reward, and he will rush back to rectify the two prefectures of Xijing and Tianfu given to him by the emperor, and the folds have been written. Xiao Suzi replied.
"Hehe, it's okay to go back, let him and Li Zicheng fight well, they fight to the end, and I'll clean up the mess." By the way, what's going on over there with Gao Pengfei?" Xiaoyaozi drew his sword and slashed the wind, asking.
"Emperor Qiqi, Lord An has already gone to the Songshan faction of the Beijing Branch to canonize Gao Pengfei as the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and Gao Pengfei will enter the palace tomorrow to see Princess Yongle. Xiao Suzi smiled.
"Okay! Tomorrow morning there will be a banquet in the Imperial Garden, and I will take Princess Yongle to see him. Xiaoyaozi smiled.
"Obey, Your Majesty!"
On the morning of the second day, in the pavilion of the imperial garden of the palace of the early dynasty, Xiaoyaozi and Princess Yongle were sitting around the stone table eating nuts and chatting with morning tea.
"Flat!come, sit down!" Xiaoyaozi beckoned Gao Pengfei to sit next to Princess Yongle.
"Pengfei, come and eat walnuts! How is Ling Zun doing lately?" Xiaoyaozi smiled.
"Father is all right, Emperor Xie cares! Father has been busy preparing for the Huangshan Sword Debate recently. Gao Pengfei glanced at Xiaoyaozi and Princess Yongle, blushed, and replied with his head down.
"Hehe, that's good. Peng Fei, raise your head, a manly man should hold his head high and be above board, and it is easy to hunch over his chest after always lowering his head! I still have some recitals to review, so you can accompany Yongle to wander around the Imperial Garden and relax. Xiaoyaozi looked at Princess Yongle and smiled, and left with Xiao Suzi.
"Obey, Emperor!" Gao Pengfei saw that the emperor had gone away, but he became bolder, peeled a walnut and handed it to Princess Yongle, and said with a smile: "Princess, I feel familiar at first sight, have we seen it in Xidi?"
"Hehe, really? I don't even know where Xidi is? Do you see a girl coaxing people like this? I don't want to eat your set!" Princess Yongle laughed.
"Oh, maybe I forgot, Xidi is beautiful, I'll take you over to play in the future. In the past two days, I have just served as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and my memory has deteriorated, so I will punish myself with three walnuts to replenish my brain!" Gao Pengfei said and high-fived the three walnuts, took out the walnut kernels and put them in the hands of Princess Yongle.
"You punish yourself, if you eat these three walnuts. Why do you want to put this walnut kernel in my hand again?" Princess Yongle asked with a smile.
If you just eat walnuts, it is purely a blessing for the population, where can it be regarded as punishment? My self-punishment game is to let the princess punish me, I sat opposite the princess and opened her mouth, the princess vigorously threw these three walnut kernels into my mouth, and the three walnut kernels were thrown into my mouth to punish herself, if a walnut kernel was not thrown into my mouth, the self-punishment game continued, and the princess continued to peel the walnut kernels and throw. Gao Pengfei said with a smile.
"At first, I thought you were a dumbfounded, submissive nerd, but I didn't expect you to be such a funny person, kind of funny!" Princess Yongle smiled and threw a walnut kernel into her mouth.
"Princess, what a skill!" Gao Pengfei smiled and chewed on the walnut kernel.
"Come again, pick it up!" With that, Princess Yongle threw another walnut kernel, Gao Pengfei's mouth stretched forward, and the walnut kernel was not thrown into Gao Pengfei's mouth, and was blocked by his front teeth and fell to the ground.
"It's not this time, it's all your fault! Don't move!" Princess Yongle stomped her feet, a little angry.
"Okay, not this time. Come again!" Gao Pengfei said with a smile.
"Come again!" Princess Yongle threw out the third walnut kernel and smashed it into one of Gao Pengfei's nostrils, Gao Pengfei made a grimace, making her laugh.
"It's so depressing! I didn't throw it in, are you waiting?" Princess Yongle said and hurriedly smashed the walnut and threw it over, going back and forth a dozen times like this, Princess Yongle happily threw the three walnut kernels into Gao Pengfei's mouth in laughter.
"My little ancestor, if you don't hit again, my mouth will be stiff, and I will become a zombie!" Gao Pengfei smiled and widened his eyes, straightened his hands, and jumped towards Princess Yongle like a zombie, jumping and jumping, holding Princess Yongle's waist with both hands, and hugging her stiffly.
"You're so bad!" Princess Yongle smiled shyly, her heart beat faster, and she suddenly felt that her face was hot, and she hugged Gao Pengfei with both hands, and the little eunuch who was guarding the gate at the gate of the Imperial Garden also covered her mouth and laughed when she saw this game.
"If you like it, if you like. Gao Pengfei said, making out with Princess Yongle.
Liu Huangtian took Princess Jian'an, escorted by Wu Wendian, Ghost Dao Ichiro and others, drove the carriage out of the capital, rushed to Jincheng in the Western Regions, and rested in an inn at night.
Wu Wendian suddenly knocked on the door of Ichiro Ghost Dao and said with a smile: "Brother Ichiro, the lord is invited." ”
Ghost Dao Ichiro looked at Wu Wendian with two guards behind him, looked into the room, and said with a smile: "Military advisor, it's so late, is there anything important?"
"Lord, I have something important to discuss with you, so come with me. Wu Wendian urged.
"Look at my pajamas, is it appropriate? Wait for me in a few minutes, I'll just change my clothes. With that, Ichiro Onitojo was ready to close the door and change his clothes.
Wu Wendian pushed the door and stopped: "You don't have to change it, this is fine." Let's go!" Ghost Dao Ichiro had no choice but to close the door, put his hands in his pajama pockets and followed Wu Wendian.
Came to Liu Huangtian's room, the room was unusually quiet, full of murderous aura under the dim light, Liu Huangtian had already made tea, he beckoned to Ichiro and smiled: "Ichiro, come and sit, drink tea, drink tea!"
Ichiro Onitoichiro sat down, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "Good tea! Thank you, General! I wonder what the General summoned me late at night, what the hell is the matter?"
"Ichiro, do you remember the covenant I made with you half a year ago? You help me settle Liu Tong and Liu Shu, and I help your ghost knife mound enter the Chinese martial arts. It's been a few days since you came to the capital this time, why haven't you done anything. Liu Huangtian put down the teacup and looked at Ghost Dao Ichiro coldly.
"This time...... I haven't found the right opportunity to get my hands dirty. Ichiro was a little panicked, and he didn't want his identity as an electric soul to be revealed, so he made up a reason to prevaricate.
"I know your loyalty, but there have been some rumors outside recently, so I want to ask again, why did you give me a handful on my birthday a year ago?" Liu Huangtian glanced at Wu Wendian, stared at Ghost Dao Ichiro and smiled.
"That * represents my loyalty to the general!
Liu Huangtian lifted the table, stood up, and yelled, "Who are you?!" Wu Wendian led five or six archers to surround the ghost sword from all sides of the room.
Oni Dao Ichiro hurriedly knelt down and said, "General, what's wrong with you?!I am your first guard, Oni Dao Ichiro!"
"You are not my Ichiro at all! I had my birthday a year ago, and you were in the Han Kingdom to clean up martial arts people, and you were not at my birthday banquet at all, and you didn't give me anything at all*. Wendian is right, you used to like to hum little tunes, drink with a stuffy head, and when you are drunk, you like to chase after women's buttocks and go crazy, you always call yourself the god of wine in the Japanese country, why don't you drink a little wine now! Don't pretend anymore, who are you?!" Liu Huangtian was heartbroken and angry.
"Now that you know everything, there's still so much nonsense!" Ghost Daoichiro said, and flew to the roof, "100,000 volts lightning slash!" He shouted, and a hurricane broke out behind him, and the inn collapsed in an instant, and everyone staggered and staggered, and suddenly the sky was full of dark clouds, lightning and thunder. Ichiro's hair was scattered and messy in the wind, and he raised his hands and stretched out to the dark sky, lightning lingering between his palms, making a sizzling sound, and the lightning flashed as if he was wrapped in a powerful electric current. Ghost Dao Ichiro put his hands together and struck a palm at Liu Huangtian, a lightning hurricane swept by, Liu Huangtian and Wu Wendian turned into a pile of coke, and the inn struck by lightning burst into flames. The archers were about to flee in a panic, but they were all grabbed by Oni Daoichiro and bitten their necks, sucking up the blood. In addition to Oni Dao Ichiro, Princess Jian'an and the others at the inn were not spared, and they all died in this fire.
That night, Ghost Dao Ichiro carried a long knife, quickly came to the city gate of the Han Kingdom, raised the long knife and shouted to the guards on the city gate: "My lord Liu Huangtian asked me to come over and report a message, let your emperor and his children wash their necks at home and wait! We will immediately bring troops over to collect his body! Canghai lightning slash!" With a collapse, the soldiers defending the city fell to the ground, people turned over on their backs, and the scars on their bodies were struck by a section of electricity from time to time, the pain was endless, the wailing continued, and some people rushed to the imperial city to report in a panic. Seeing that the effect had been achieved, Ichiro Oni Dao rode in the direction of Kaneshiro.
"Crazy! This Liu Huangtian TMD is a madman, and he is not satisfied with the city, beauty, gold, silver, and jewelry, and he still wants to make trouble! Okay, since you are a madman who toasts and does not eat and drink, the widow will play with you! Come on, Dai Liren, the squire of the military department called overnight, and this time he must level the northwest!" Xiaoyaozi heard the news from the person who came, and he took the case, and he was so angry that he burned the fire.
"Your Majesty, you drink a cup of tea first to dissipate your anger. Liu Huangtian was very happy when he left, not like he had any abnormal thoughts. I think there is something strange about this matter, so I should wait for the investigation to be clear. Xiao Suzi persuaded while pouring tea for the emperor.
You don't have to think about it, otherwise he won't let that ...... before he leaves What kind of ghost Dao Ichiro, deliberately give me a dismount?! I knew that I should have ordered him to be killed in the imperial city, and now I regret it!"
Ghost Dao Ichiro changed to an inn to live in, used the disguise technique that the Japanese people are good at, turned himself into Liu Huangtian's appearance in the mirror, and after resting for a while, he rushed to Jincheng with stars and moons, rectified the military horses, and sent troops to the Han Kingdom.
In the church, the prophet led the crowd in prayer and showed them a map, and he danced and said excitedly: "Friends, this map of the world was not discovered by the great navigator Christopher Columbus, nor by the mad explorer Magellan. It is said that after 10 days and 10 nights of careful drawing, this Chinese scientist finally made this miraculous and perfect map of the world with reference to the data obtained by Zheng He's seven voyages to the West, as well as the abridged version of the world map brought by the Italian missionary Matteo Ricci. With this map, the gospel of Jesus will spread to every corner of the world! Today, I stand on the land of the Ming Empire, even though it is crumbling and the edifice is about to collapse, I still feel extremely proud and proud, blessed to come, because I have brought the gospel of Jesus Christ here. ”
"Thank God and Lord!" "Amen......!" There was an uproar down there.
"Today, I want to tell you that the Ming Empire is isolated from the world because of the implementation of the sea ban, which is a very dangerous signal! The sea ban makes the entire Ming Dynasty like a bird in a cage, ignorant of the outside world. Look at you, do any of you know about the great changes that have taken place in the outside world? Do you want to know the power and power of technology?!" said the Prophet impassionedly and passionately.
"Father, what is the power of technology?" Suddenly, someone below asked.
"Yes! The power of technology is so big that Huang Taiji has already purchased dozens of red-coated cannons from Europe, and the Ming Emperor doesn't know what the cannon looks like, as small as this musket in my hand. Because of technology, they will become the mainstream of history!" the Prophet smiled and took out a musket from his bosom and fired a shot at the ceiling, blowing the smoking muzzle of the gun, and laughed.
"Wow, this musket is amazing!" "Look, the ceiling has been opened!
"Father, but where do we, the common people, have the money to buy these muskets and cannons?" suddenly someone asked again.
"That's why I want you all to study the Bible, and blessed are you by the Lord's grace. With good fortune, there will be good luck, and with good luck, everything will naturally go smoothly and money will come naturally. Believe in Jesus, bread and milk, you will all have!" the prophet smiled as he craned his arms.
"Thank God, thank the Lord, amen......" The crowd fell to their knees again and prayed.
After the prayer was over, Chisri took the prophet's hand and said, "Prophet, what kind of science are you talking to them about, don't say that a group of people who farm the land don't understand, and we don't understand it. Why are you doing this?"
"Because they are ignorant and ignorant, I have to preach all the more, so that they can slowly know the power of science, and only then can the feudal mentality that has been parasitic in their bones for thousands of years gradually fade, so that the next generation will not repeat the mistakes of the past! What is the difference between the current China and the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms in the past, and it is these ordinary people who suffer, for thousands of years, history has been repeating itself repeatedly, the situation in the family and the world has not changed at all, the powerful have intensified, and the hypocrites have changed their soup instead of medicine! Scuffle, let the lives of the common people be miserable!" the prophet recounted.
"I was an errand boy in the yamen in my early years, and I have long seen it. How useful can this Bible be except to temporarily numb their nerves? In my opinion, let everything take its course, and history will be decided!" Akasri sighed helplessly.
"Hehe, there's a bit of heat, a bit of light. This is my faith! With faith, as long as you keep persevering and working hard, there will always be hope!" the Prophet laughed
