Chapter Twenty-Nine: Is Revolution a Child's Play?

Yan Er sighed and said, "The abbot entrusted the important task of guarding the Yijin Sutra and that secret to Wumei Shitai and me, but he didn't consider that both of us were already old. And my identity is quite secret, but the five masters were registered in the Qing court, and if they show their traces, they will immediately attract a large number of Qing court masters to chase and kill. Recently, Mrs. Shi and I have discussed many times, and we are all thinking of entrusting this task to the two of you. Especially since Tianlai has practiced the "Yijin Sutra", it is logical to guard that secret again. ”

Yim Wing Chun was very curious and asked, "Daddy, you've been talking for a long time, what is the big secret about the world?"

Yan Er's face also showed an extremely strange look, and after thinking about it for a long time, he said slowly: "That secret is hidden in a few letters, and the reason why Shaolin suffered a catastrophe is also because of these letters. ”

Yim Wing Chun became more and more curious, and asked: "Daddy, don't sell Guanzi, tell me what the secret is!"

Yan Er looked at his daughter and son-in-law in front of him, and said solemnly: "Those letters are from the hands of several people with extremely special identities, and with mutual corroboration, they can prove one thing - the current Qianlong Emperor is really a Han Chinese!"

"How is this possible?" Yim Wing Chun jumped up from her seat in shock.

Yan Er spread his hands and said, "My father has seen those letters, and he can be sure that the contents are credible. When the sons of Kangxi seized the heir, Yongzheng, who was still the prince, in order to add a boost to himself, stole his newborn daughter and the newborn son of a Chen official. Later, this fake king and grandson gradually grew up, and his character and talent far surpassed that of his peers, and he was deeply loved by his grandfather Kangxi. Later, Yongzheng was able to pass on the throne, and this fake king and grandson did play a great role. When Yongzheng ascended the throne, I don't know what kind of considerations he had, he actually vigorously supported this fake son, and finally passed on the throne to the emperor, and there was the current Qianlong Emperor. ”

Speaking of this, he first looked at Yim Wing Chun, who was already speechless, and then turned to Yu Tianlai, who had been sitting there calmly and seemed to be a little distracted, and asked suspiciously: "Tianlai, why don't you look a little surprised?"

"Since ancient times, the court has been the darkest and filthiest place in the world, and it is not surprising that no matter what bizarre and strange events occur. Yu Tianlai was sighing in his heart that the public case that was widely said in later generations was really true, and suddenly heard his father-in-law's question, only to realize that his performance was a little weird, and he was busy covering up casually, and then changed the topic and asked, "Father-in-law, the little son-in-law has something unknown, such a shocking secret is really the cause of trouble, that is, it should not be destroyed as soon as possible to prevent future troubles, and it should be kept strictly to prevent the news from leaking." Why did the Qing court learn about this, so that it brought the disaster of Shaolin's demise?"

Yan Er smiled bitterly: "There are only a few people in the Shaolin Temple who know about this, but there is a layman disciple with a very high seniority, and this person is determined to oppose the Qing Dynasty in his life. Since he learned of this, he thought of using this news, either to support or coerce, in short, to ask Qianlong to launch a change from top to bottom after understanding his life experience and restore the orthodoxy of my Han family. ”

"Childish!" Yu Tianlai smiled slightly, and made a two-word comment on this senior in his heart. thinks that Qianlong has already sat firmly in the country, how can he have nothing to do to shake his foundation. Compared with doing something important to restore the Han Dynasty, of course, it is easier to kill people and completely annihilate the truth, and the facts have proved that he chose the latter approach.

Yan Er said again: "You have frustrated Feng Daode with a trick just now, this person has always been ruthless, I am afraid that he will not give up." In my opinion, the two of you immediately went up the mountain to bid farewell to the five masters, and then left this place and went to the rivers and lakes according to the previous plan. When you leave, Mrs. Wu and I will also leave. ”

Yim Wing Chun set his eyes on Yu Tianlai, obviously waiting for him to come up with an idea.

Yu Tianlai thought for a while, nodded and said, "I will follow my father-in-law's instructions." ”

At that moment, the husband and wife went up the mountain together to meet Wumei Shitai in the Yuwang Temple, and explained the matter of Fang Cai in person.

Master Wu was speechless for a long time, and finally sighed: "That's fine, you two wait a minute." ”

Then she turned back to the meditation room where she lived, and after a while, she turned back with a wooden box in her hand.

Wumei Shitai opened the wooden box in front of the two of them, and first took out the "Yijin Sutra" with the cover disguised as the "Diamond Sutra" and put it in front of him: "The "Yijin Sutra" has been practiced by disciples in the sky, but this scripture is also an antiquity inherited by Shaolin for many years, and its own value and significance are incalculable, and the two of you must live well in the future. ”

After Yu Tianlai and Yan Yongchun solemnly agreed, she took out three letters from the box, pressed them with her palms, and sighed: "This is the letter that contains that big secret, and it is also the source of Shaolin's disaster." Although the teacher does not believe that the general trend of the world can be changed with these few pages of fragments, since the Dafang Zen Master entrusts them to the teacher, you should take care of them for the teacher. ”

Yim Wing Chun had tried to study the Yi Tin Sutra but was unsuccessful, so he was not interested in the scripture. Her attention was all on the three letters, and she asked tentatively with a curious look on her face, "Master, can I take a look at these letters?"

Wumei Shitai smiled dumbly, and casually put the letter in her hand.

Yan Wing Chun couldn't wait to open them one by one and browse them, and while looking at them, he was amazed: "Sure enough, it's true, that Emperor Qianlong is really Han." ”

Yu Tianlai took the letter from her hand and read it again, but saw that the things mentioned in it were similar to some records in the history of barnyard officials in later generations, and it was not new to him.

Yan Wing Chun saw that he casually put the letter back into the wooden box, and didn't seem to pay attention to it, so he asked: "Senior brother, since Qianlong already knows his identity, why doesn't he think about restoring the orthodoxy of the Han people?"

"Where did it come from so easily?" Yu Tianlai shook his head and smiled, "To drive out the Tartars and restore the mountains and rivers of the Han family, it will be an extremely huge revolution." ”

His voice raised a little more: "What is a revolution? A great man said it best: Revolution is not about inviting guests to dinner, not writing articles, not painting and embroidering, and it cannot be so elegant, so calm, so polite, so gentle, so courteous and frugal. A revolution is an insurrection, a violent act by which a class overthrows a class.

"Even if Qianlong is the emperor, if he wants to achieve this, he can only practice it through iron and blood, and there is no shortcut. During this period, he had to go through countless hardships and dangers, sacrificing countless lives and even his own lives. He is already an emperor, so what reason does he have to risk losing everything to do this? Although it is a bit disrespectful, I still have to say that the Shaolin predecessor pinned his hope of overthrowing the Manchu rule on Qianlong, the greatest beneficiary of the Manchu rule, and really regarded the revolutionary event as a child's play. ”

Hearing these words, Wumei Shitai and Yim Wing Chun were silent, and their four eyes were fixed on him, as if they wanted to get to know him again.
