114. Confession
Jiajing did not answer directly, but said: "The national master gave me three books, and I also gave one to the national master."
After saying that, Jiajing walked to the couch in the study, took out a book from under the pillow, and handed it to Zhang Zhixiang. Zhang Zhixiang could smell the new ink fragrance on the book, and the title of this book was - West! Journey! Remember!
"This..." Zhang Zhixiang was a little shocked.
The earliest version of "Journey to the West" is the Shidetang version in the 20th year of Wanli. Who is the author of it? It has been debated for four hundred years. Wu Chengen, who was signed by later generations, was mainly Hu Shi's verification...
This is obviously inappropriate.
Because "Journey to the West" itself is a Taoist classic that can be used to cultivate immortality, it was written by Changchun Zhenren Qiu Chuji, but there is also "Si Lijian" in the book, which was an institution that only existed in the Ming Dynasty.
So Qiu Chuji was falsified.
There are two important clues in Shidetang. One is Chen Yuan's preface. He said that the author of "Journey to the West" is extremely noble, and he is "the Eight Dukes of the Kings and Princes". Later generations have verified that it may be a vassal king in Shandong, a vassal king in Hubei, or a priest in the court.
Second, there are notes in Shidetang, which are proofread by the Lord of the Heavenly Lord of Huayang Cave.
Who is the Lord of Heaven in Huayang Cave? Li Chunfang, who entered the cabinet in the 44th year of Jiajing, was known as the Prime Minister of Qingci. His name was Lord of Heaven in Huayang Cave.
Many people have always believed that the author is the author himself, and they suspect that Li Chunfang is the real author of "Journey to the West". So... is it possible that Li Chunfang proofreads the book for him just for a more noble person?
Since the author can be a vassal king in Hubei, then... he was in Hubei before Jiajing ascended the throne.
Many thoughts flashed, and Zhang Zhixiang opened the first page in a hurry. The opening words were: The chaos has not been divided into chaos in the world, and no one saw it. Since Pangu broke the Hongmeng and opened up the distinction between the clear and turbidity. He has covered all living beings and benevolence, and found that all things have achieved goodness. If you want to know the achievements of creation, you must read "The Biography of the Interpretation of the Desert of Journey to the West".
He guessed correctly, it was really Journey to the West...
It is not a printed book, but a manuscript. Because the book still has blank paper, it has not been finished at all. The lines are all new, and the handwriting can be seen as new ink. It is very likely that Jiajing copied it overnight last night.
Seeing Zhang Zhixiang a little surprised, Jiajing smiled implicitly and said, "Well, it's just a story book, and it's not a good place to be a good place, but what I think is all in the book."
As he said that, Jiajing began to talk about memories.
"In March of the 16th year of Zhengde, the emperor's brother died in the Leopard House at the age of 31. Because he had no heirs, he had to choose his peers or younger generations from the royal family to inherit the throne."
"According to brothers and brothers and peers, there are actually several who are of similar blood ties, who are already in their twenties and have children."
"The country has a eldest king, and the country is blessed."
"If you think about the country and the country, it is best to choose those brothers, but they chose me who was only fifteen years old at that time." (Jiajing was born in September of the second year of Zhengde and ascended the throne in April of the sixteenth year of Zhengde. At that time, it was actually not even 14 years old. It was just that the ancients generally said that they were empty.)
“Why?”
"Because I am a lonely man, my father has died, and only my widowed mother is alive, and no one can support me."
"They think I'm bullying."
"In order to control me, they first welcomed me with the etiquette of the prince. When I was discovered by me, they changed to welcome me with the etiquette of the emperor. Then when Yang Tinghe and Empress Dowager Zhang arrived in Liangxiang, they took all the officials to force me to recognize Xiaozong as the emperor's charity and change their biological father as the emperor's uncle!!"
"How can I agree to the law of destroying human ethics this time!"
"Not mentioning where this move is placed in my parents, if I succeed to the throne with my heir, it will be unpleasant to be of bad reputation. From then on, I can only follow the mercy of others. However, if there is a deviation, I will criticize me as not the royal heir, and make my face ruined."
"So, I refuse to accept this policy!"
"In order to make me surrender, when I entered the palace, Yang Tinghe deliberately asked me to enter the palace from Dong'anmen Gate to live in Wenhua Hall. This is the side gate, which is the path for my ministers to enter the palace. If I was young and ignorant, I would not think that I was a prince and how could I succeed in ascending the throne?"
"I'm so quick and asked Mr. Yuan."
"I just avoided this disaster, entered the palace from the Daming Gate, and succeeded to the throne in Fengtian Hall."
"But when they ascended the throne, they started to tamper with each other again."
"The edict for ascending the throne was changed by them, and it was changed to 'Entering the emperor's will by the emperor's brother'. What is the eunuch? It's a successor!!"
"If I have not observed this word, I will never be able to recover."
"After I ascended the throne, I would change the year name the next year. Yang Tinghe gave me the word "Shaozhi". What is Shaozhi? It is inherited and governed!"
"If I use this year's title, I will recognize Xiaozong as the emperor and Empress Dowager Zhang as the mother of the emperor. From now on, I will have my place in this court? Empress Dowager Zhang can join Yang Ting and them in charge of the government!"
"Even if I have successfully ascended the throne, they still refuse to give up."
"He led by Yang Tinghe, all officials forced me day and night, and made me recognize Xiaozong as the emperor's magnificent. The court only argued about this matter and did not see the national affairs."
"Fortunately, Zhang Aiqing made a statement that "successors will not be inherited", so I and my father and emperor were able to protect it."
"This throne is justified."
"Along the way, I have been full of tigers, leopards, jackals, and I have experienced many difficulties and dangers. But if I step by step, I will never be able to recover. The civil and military officials held the throne high in their hands, as if the gods and Buddhas in the sky came to suppress me."
"But I have never surrendered!"
"I want this heaven to be able to cover my eyes anymore. I want this earth to be able to bury my heart anymore. I want the Buddhas all over the sky to disappear!!"
How motivated the young emperor was and how energetic he was.
Zhang Zhixiang just turned to the end of this book "Journey to the West", and the plot just progressed - making a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace.
yes.
Those who despise the imperial power may not necessarily be rebels, but also the emperor himself, because only he knows what imperial power is, who really holds that power, and who is the real Jade Emperor.
Zhang Zhixiang suddenly thought of a poem from the Lion Camel Kingdom in "Journey to the West".
There are clusters of monsters and monsters, all of which are wolf elves. The colorful tiger is the capital, and the white-faced hero is the general.
The chanting of the deer is quoted by the text, and the clever fox is the way to go. A thousand-foot python surrounded the city, and a thousand-foot long snake occupied the journey.
The wolf downstairs called the commander, and the leopards in front of the stage made a voice. They were all monsters shaking flags and drums, and the mountain spirits were all patrolling the patrol.
The cunning rabbit opens the door to do business, and the wild boar carries the load and does business. It was originally the Celestial Kingdom, but now it is translated as the Tiger and Wolf City.
...
All the officials in the court were tigers, wolfs, animals, and those who were profitable in the world were all evil.
This world is like a demonic realm!
Zhang Zhixiang was in a heavy mood and touched the three words Journey to the West. He was still making a fuss about the Monkey King of Heaven. He was not suppressed by the Tathagata Buddha at the foot of the Five Fingers Mountain. It seems that Jiajing in history has been cut off for a long time.
When did he feel disheartened?
Is the Renyin Palace changing?
Yes, after dying once, I realized that I had no ability to break the Heavenly Palace at all.
His fingers gradually clasped on the writing, and even the paper became wrinkled. Zhang Zhixiang looked at Jiajing and recited a poem very seriously.
As soon as wind and thunder rise from the earth, sperm and bones will be piled up.
A monk is a fool, but a demon will cause disaster if he is a ghost.
The golden monkey raised his thunderous rod, and the jade cleared the thousands of miles away.
Today I cheered Sun Dasheng because the demon fog came back again.
"His Majesty."
"I have seen Journey to the West."
