Chapter 163 The hidden truth in myths and legends

In this guru poem "Singing the Blessing of Heaven", Li Shimin heard a different content.

This content seems familiar.

Li Shimin became interested and brought the language genius Du Ruhui to chat with this Yin Fubu man.

According to the average life expectancy of mainland Fusang, they can live to be about 45 years old, but the old man lives to be over 80 years old.

Li Shimin heard that the language spoken by these Yin Fubu people was similar to ancient and elegant language.

However, Li Shimin said to the old man in a bad manner: "Old man, you must be the oldest and wisest of them. Can you tell us about your experience?"

The old man drank the wine given to him by Li Shimin and said with a smile: "I am not the wisest. There are many wisest figures among us. It is up to them that we have persisted until now... However, I am indeed the longest-lived of them."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "I am now interested in what you sang "Ying Fu Kingdom". Can you tell us about your experience?"

Perhaps because he was drinking a little too much, the old man gradually relaxed his restraint. Because of the way the two of them spoke and the language gap, it was like the difference between Hakka and Shanxi dialect. When he didn't understand it, Li Shimin needed to use Du Ruhui's translation.

The old man's face was flushed and said happily: "Dear King, if you want, I can tell you about our past."

Li Shimin and Du Ruhui looked at each other.

Du Ruhui saw a cunning look in Li Shimin's eyes.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "It's extremely happy! You Yin Fubu people must have been in Fusang for a long time, right?"

The old man shook his head: "No, no, no, we are all outsiders, just like the king. We came here for a longer time than you. We cannot compare with them!"

With the help of Du Ruhui's translation, Li Shimin finally understood.

"When did you come?"

"Not twenty-eight years ago!" The old man touched a bead hanging around his neck.

Li Shimin's eyes fell on the beads, and then he realized that the black beads could not see what material they were made of, but they were engraved with heavenly stems and earthly branches. If it was as the old man said, the beads on his neck were exactly twenty-eight, and there were indeed some blank spaces on the one in the middle.

The old man continued, "I can't say it very clearly... According to the legend of our ancestors, our ancestors established a huge kingdom of heaven, in which we were not hungry, sick, or disaster. Later, the servants of our king, Binmen, were attacked by Binmen. Our king, in order to help Binmen resist Binmen, gave them horses, chariots, and giant axes..."

Li Shimin could hear the following story clearly.

Due to the threat of war, the Bin people gradually became stronger with the support of the king. In order to resist the attack of the lord, their king allowed the Bin people to continue to expand their arms, and a fierce war broke out between their king and Dongyi.

The Binmen took advantage of this opportunity and pretended to be a sniper attack, so they summoned the army and formed a huge army with the Western Barbarians. This army did not participate in the north sniper attack of the sniper attack. In fact, the sniper attack was a scam.

When the Bin people led the Eighteen Alliances of Western Yi through Mengjin, Emperor Xin finally reacted. He quickly formed the Yin people and formed an army, and fought fiercely with the Bin people in Chaoge.

Emperor Xin was the most preached king of the Yin people. The war lasted for more than three months. Just when the Bin people suffered heavy losses and could not hold on,

The Bin people proposed to surrender.

Emperor Xin was actually at the end of his strength, and the Yin people could no longer fight, so he agreed to this peace talk.

However, when the Binren was begging for peace, he stabbed their king with a poisonous dagger.

The old man roared hysterically with a strong unwillingness and anger in his tone: "The despicable villain's conspiracy has succeeded. Our great king is already dying. Brother Wang, the shameful traitor, cut off the king's head with a knife. He shook his tail and beg for mercy at the Bin people. The king's army finally returned. Unfortunately, the king has gone... Our Yin people were chased by Bin people, and all men acted as ministers, women's concubines... We have no future. The kingdom of heaven has turned into ruins... Killing and epidemics have made the earth covered with corpses. The crows hover in the sky day and night, holding people's intestines and hanging on the treetops. It was a cruel and crazy world. Our ancestors led the brave warriors to fight arduously, but in the end they failed. They had to lead some of them to escape from that terrible place and wander around..."

According to the old man, the reason why their ancestors failed was because they were completely isolated and besieged by the world, and even several forces that could not be resisted by human forces also joined their enemy's camp.

The old man was ineffective and slowly fell asleep.

Even in his sleep, he still had a ferocious face and was hysterical.

Li Shimin lay on his back on the bed, still thinking, Du Ruhui sat down and smiled and said, "Your Majesty, are you still thinking about those myths? When have you become obsessed with myths?"

Li Shimin said seriously: "Myths and legends have never been groundless. I have always believed that myths are the memories of ancient ancestors' major events that happened in ancient times from generation to generation."

Du Ruhui became interested: "What about it?"

Li Shimin said: "Didn't you find that the story they told is somewhat familiar with the historical books we have seen?"

Li Shimin always believed in benevolence and righteousness. There is a famous chapter in "Mencius": "I am good at doing things, I am good at fighting." It is a great sin. The king is kind, and the world is invincible. He conquers the south, and the north is resentful; he conquers the west is resentful, saying, "What is the queen?" When King Wu attacked Yin, he resentful, and three hundred taels of chariots and 3,000 tigers. The king said, "Fearless! I am not a enemy of the people." If he collapsed and bowed his head, he conquers the words of justice, and everyone wants to correct himself, how can he use war?"

At that time, it was a slave society. People who did not understand the slave society would believe the nonsense of Confucius and Mencius, but this was the real nonsense.

During the slave society, the king was only a nominal leader. Why could the Zhou Dynasty become the royal family for eight hundred years? Because the Zhou emperor was just a decoration and a symbolic mascot. The princes ruled everywhere.

"A country's monarch, as long as he is good at practicing benevolence and righteousness, will inevitably be invincible in the world. Just like King Wu of Zhou attacked Shang, a just war would be won without fighting."

If anyone believes this sentence, it is a fool.

Is Chongzhen unkind? Was he not frugal? But the Ming Dynasty fell.

Whether Yang Guangren is a matter of personal opinion or not is a matter of personal opinion. At least Yang Guang and Huang have nothing to do with each other. So let’s talk about Chai Rong and Guo Wei, as one of the five monarchs, who can compare these two?

However, their fate can be said to be the most tragic, no doubt about it.

Although Li Shimin discovered that this legend is completely contrary to the records of the historical records.

However, Li Shimin was particularly curious about why these Yin Fubu people could come from the Central Plains.

Now Li Shimin is working hard, and Zhang Zhongjian's old foundation for more than ten years has been around the world. Now he can barely send 40,000 troops at one time. More than 1,600 years ago, these survivors of the Shang Dynasty could travel thousands of miles with 250,000 soldiers and civilians.

Could it be that they could build a giant ship of ten thousand stones more than 1,600 years ago?

Li Shimin didn't believe it at all. He knew the difficulty of building a giant ship of ten thousand stones.

Du Ruhui smiled and said, "These legends are very likely to be true, but it is only that. Myths are myths after all, and they are illusory and are not worth wasting too much time on them." "We can now be sure that these Yin Fubu people and twenty or thirty tribes are all survivors of the Shang Dynasty, which is the 250,000 soldiers and civilians led by the missing Youhouxi recorded in history books."

Li Shimin said seriously: "The key to the question is, how did they come here? Will they come by boat like us? Even if they are lucky, they are calm and drift here without any danger, but what do they eat and drink?"

Du Ruhui thought deeply.

According to historical records, the ships of the Shang Dynasty were definitely not large at that time. Otherwise, when the Zhou army crossed the Yellow River, they would not have adopted sheepskin rafts, and it would have been impossible for only 35,000 troops to take half a month.

This is too abnormal.

The small boat has limited carrying capacity and the water and food it can carry is too little.

Even if they can solve the food problem by fishing, what about water?

So how to solve it?

You can't even favor God for them all the time, right?
