Chapter 112: Master of Secrets

The three of them surrounded the tea room and listened quietly to Shi Qiang's story about what happened that year.

"To talk about the origin of this mountain temple, we must start with the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty. You should know that the Ming Dynasty was attacked by Zhu Yuanzhang. This person was shameless and cruel. He once poisoned the general Xu Da with the "steamed goose" incident. This shows his character. After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne and his reign was Jianwen."

"After Emperor Jianwen ascended the throne, he knew that his situation was very bad. The vassal kings in various places were very powerful and held military power, which might affect his dominance at any time. He immediately conspired with his relative ministers Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng to reduce the vassal states, and decided to start with those vassal kings with less power. First, he issued an order to depose King Zhu Su to a commoner, and King You Dai Zhu Gui was imprisoned in Datong, King Qi Zhu Jing in the capital, and King Xiang Zhu Bai burned himself to death. At the same time, he also deployed troops in Peiping and the city, and in the name of preventing the border, he transferred the elite guards of King Yan out of the frontier to guard the garrison, preparing to remove the King Yan."

Speaking of this, Shi Qiang sneered, took out the cigarette and distributed it to Zhang Xiaofan, and then continued: "Emperor Jianwen thought it was ready, so he secretly ordered the capture of King Yan, but he never expected that this plan would have been leaked long ago. King Yan Zhu Di immediately raised his troops south and marched south from Beiping into Nanjing City. At this time, Emperor Jianwen had already been able to use the generals, because the Yuan Gongshou General had been cleaned up by Zhu Yuanzhang, so he had to use the surviving veteran Geng Bingwen to lead the troops in the north and sent the santa son Li Jinglong to continue the battle. To be honest, Emperor Jianwen was still too young, and the generals sent out were very different from the strength of the rebels, and he was defeated by Zhu Di."

"This change is called the Jingnan Incident in history. Zhu Di broke into Nanjing City. Emperor Jianwen ordered arson to burn the palace. Zhu Di rushed into the palace and searched for three days and three nights, but he never found Zhu Yunwen's whereabouts. He asked the eunuchs, but they didn't know whether Zhu Yunwen was dead or alive, but only knew that he disappeared after he ordered arson. Empress Ma and most of the concubines were burned to death. The eunuchs were afraid that Zhu Di would not believe it, so they found a wreckage that said it was Zhu Yunwen's corpse. Zhu Di ordered people to pull out the wreckage from the ashes. He was burned and his limbs were incomplete. Even men and women were distinguished, so he had to order a burial with the emperor's courtesy."[

Ning Meiyi was a little fascinated by the sound of hearing this and asked hurriedly: "Is this Emperor Jianwen dead?"

Zhang Xiaofan was also very magical. His history was very poor. He was half a pound of "sea turtle" who came back from studying abroad. He had only vaguely heard about Emperor Jianwen and was also made into a TV series, as if he had traveled to the current city of Beijing.

Shi Qiang smiled and said, "There are several different statements about Emperor Jianwen's life and death, but I think there is one statement that is more reliable." He poured a cup of tea and moistened his throat, and then continued, "After Emperor Jianwen ordered arson, he secretly sneaked into the secret path that had been dug long ago. This secret path was left by his grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang for him to escape. After the secret path came out, two monks wearing monk robes immediately came up with the monk robes, holding monk robes, identity discs and other objects in his hands, helped him to slap and dress, escape from Nanjing from the waterway, and wandered from then on

Tianya Zhu Di thought hard in Nanjing. He always suspected that Emperor Jianwen was still living in the world, for fear of leaving disaster for his descendants, so he ordered the eunuch Zheng He to lead a huge fleet to search in the West, and at the same time to promote his national prestige and communicate with various countries. However, he still had no trace of Emperor Jianwen. Hongya Heavenly Book knows that someone has cracked the secret, that is, Emperor Jianwen ordered people to write when he became a monk, and to accuse Zhu Di of his crimes to the world, but he was afraid that others would find the secret of his invisible escape, so he could only write in this incredible method."

Zhang Xiaofan and Ning Meiyi looked at each other. Although this story is novel and wonderful, it seems to have nothing to do with the mountain temple, right? Hongyan Tianshu is in the southwest Yunnan-Guizhou area, and Zhongzhou is located east of China. Could it be that Emperor Jianwen once ordered people to build this mountain temple?

Shi Qiang said: "Emperor Jianwen used the golden cicada to escape from the shell because a military advisor of his ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang. It can be said that although Zhu Yuanzhang followed the will of heaven, his contribution to conquering the entire country was mostly due to this military advisor."

Zhang Xiaofan's eyes lit up and he said, "Is it Liu Ji and Liu Bowen, who is named Master Tianji?"

"Haha, I also know Liu Bowen, his fame is so great that Zhuge Kongming of the Three Kingdoms."

Ning Meiyi asked curiously: "Who is Liu Bowen? Is he very powerful?"

Zhang Xiaofan knew something about this strange man, saying: "Liu Bowen knew astronomy and geography, was familiar with military strategy, and was also familiar with Yin and Yang, Five Elements and Eight Trigrams. He could be called a strange man. It is rumored that when he went out to practice, he met Zhu Yuanzhang, who was a monk. His head rested and his hands were wide open, and his hands were wide open, and he slept with his face facing the sky. Liu Bowen stepped forward and looked at him, and was shocked. He saw that his head rested and shoulder pole clearly had the word "tian", and his head was flowing.

There were densely popped with flies, which meant to be guarded by three thousand imperial guards. It can be seen that he is extremely noble. But he also knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was cruel and ruthless and had a serious doubt. Although he helped him with advice on major issues, he was reserved. Zhu Yuanzhang relied on his talent and ability very much, and was very afraid of his unpredictable Yin and Yang academics. As the lord of the nine fives, Zhu Yuanzhang did not dare to kill him like the general Xu Da, and eventually let him retire and return home."

Shi Qiang gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Brother is really amazing. You know these things clearly. But you may not know that when Liu Bowen retired and returned home, Zhu Yuanzhang did not agree at first, until he pointed out that the Zhu family's country had hidden dangers and vaguely revealed the rebellion of his descendants to Zhu Yuanzhang, and he was able to escape unscathed."

"There is still this?" Zhang Xiaofan said in surprise.

Shi Qiang smiled mysteriously and said, "These are all versions that have been passed down. Whether it is true or false has been founded long ago. However, the mountain temple was ordered by this master Tianji to supervise it."

"Ah!" Zhang Xiaofan and Ning Meiyi both exclaimed: "It was him who supervised it?!"

Shi Qiang nodded and said, "Liu Bowen knew that if he didn't leave the capital, he was afraid that he would not be far from his death, so he came up with such a way to retire. He told Zhu Yuanzhang that among his sons, there was a evil dragon living in seclusion in the court, and Zhulong was trapped, so he was trapped, and he would lead to water and turn into the dragon into the sea. His words were very obscure. Zhu Yuanzhang asked him who the evil dragon was and what Zhulong meant. He shook his head and did not say anything. Now he thought that the former should refer to Zhu Di, and the latter was Emperor Jianwen who was burning to fire. Zhu Yuanzhang asked Liu Bowen to help him resolve this matter, and Liu Bowen followed his wishes, but there was one requirement. This was the last time he helped Zhu Yuanzhang to do things, and he would return to his hometown and never step into the capital again. Zhu Yuanzhang agreed to his request and called for five hundred iron armored soldiers to help."

"Some things are surprising when I think back now. Liu Bowen's powerful figure should have known that Zhu Di would rebel. Emperor Jianwen's failure was a foregone conclusion, but he refused to tell the secret to protect his life." Shi Qiang paused and then said: "Liu Bowen knew that perfunctory things would definitely not work, so he ordered people to find weapons, iron armor, gold, silver and jewelry to hide them in the mountains, and set up a protective formation in the mountains. Finally, he wrote a secret letter and handed it over to Zhu Yuanzhang, and he escaped unscathed afterwards."

Zhang Xiaofan thought about it and said suspiciously: "What you said means that there are gold, silver and jewelry hidden in the mountains, and that was left by Zhu Yuanzhang for Emperor Jianwen to raise an army, right?"

Shi Qiang nodded and said, "The five hundred iron-armored soldiers who followed Liu Bowen out of the capital did not return to the capital, but received a secret order to let them go to the field and stay outside the mountain to protect these things. If someone comes to contact us with a seal in the future, they must fully cooperate with the other party's actions." Seeing the shocked look of the two of them, they laughed and said, "How about it, you're so scared. After hearing my grandfather's words, my expression was exactly the same as you, and I didn't come back to my senses for a long time."

"Are these things true or false?" Zhang Xiaofan asked solemnly.

"Hehe... it doesn't matter whether it is true or false, because no one can walk in the depths of these mountains, and no one can come out alive even if they go in. There is a rule in our village that the elderly will teach their children not to get close to the Yanzi Mountain area, and even those who hunt firewood in the early years would not enter those mountains. During the ten years of turmoil, there were chaos in the whole country. The Revolutionary Committee sent people to smash the mountain temple and said that they would destroy the four old ones. The then director of the Revolutionary Committee personally led dozens of Red Guards with five, six and a half rifles and grenades, and fully armed into Yanzi Mountain, trying to prove that the older generation was wrong."[

Shi Qiang smiled contemptuously and said, "Since those dozens of people entered the mountain, the village was in an uproar. Some young people even took the lead in making a fuss, saying that they would go into the mountain to see what was going on. They were scolded by the elders in the village and were all locked up. Reality is better than a hero. No one came out since they entered the mountain. The whole village kept silent. Even the young man who had the most quarrel was so scared that he did not dare to move at home. A month later, the people from the Revolutionary Committee came over to check and asked the whereabouts of the director and the dozens of people. The people in the village explained the situation, but the people from the Revolutionary Committee did not believe it. They thought they were lost and lost their direction, so they found dozens of people to enter the mountain."

Shi Qiang said this and sighed lightly, saying, "There are hundreds of people entering Yanzi Mountain, and some guys who were greedy after hearing the rumors about Emperor Jianwen, but they all died in Yanzi Mountain. The children in the village were disobedient. As long as the adults said they would throw him into Yanzi Mountain, the children immediately kept silent and went home obediently."

Ning Meiyi was a little scared when she heard this and asked, "No one has ever come out?"
