Chapter 37 6. Wu Sangui mourns Emperor Yongli

The news of a white bird flying out of Emperor Yongli's tomb spread like wildfire, and the people in Kunming were as happy as fish.They told each other the story of Emperor Yongli turning into a white bird and ascending to heaven, and the more they spread, the more mysterious and excited they became. They had long forgotten that the little eunuch was buried with Emperor Yongli, and they all thought that the white bird must have been transformed by Emperor Yongli, but they forgot or didn't want to think that the white bird might also be transformed by the little eunuch. Under the leadership of the Tomb Repair Committee, Emperor Yongli's tomb was quickly rebuilt magnificently. Compared with other imperial tombs, it is even more magnificent.

Because people believed that the white bird was transformed by Emperor Yongli, and that Emperor Yongli had become immortal, people worshiped Emperor Yongli and the little eunuch as gods. Especially after that happened, people respected this tomb just like Buddhist believers respect temples and Taoists respect Taoist temples. It is said that there is a couple in Kunming who are over half a hundred years old but still childless, and they are extremely anxious.Facing such a huge family business, when they thought of the time when no one would inherit it, they cried even more.Someone told them that as long as they sincerely burn incense and worship Buddha, they can conceive Liujia and have a precious son early.In the past, they would go to nearby temples to burn incense and worship Buddha every year, and pray to Goddess Guanyin for a son.Unexpectedly, they burned incense for many years and worshiped Buddha for many years, but the wife's belly still didn't bulge.Seeing the passing of time and the future of old age, the couple really want to cry but have no tears.

Maybe it was because of urgent medical treatment, one day, the old lady proposed not to burn incense to the Bodhisattva, but to burn incense to Emperor Yongli!Hearing this, the old man was dumbfounded, and said, "What can I do? Although the emperor is the Son of Heaven, he is not as powerful as the gods! Since even the gods can't help us, then even if the emperor loves the people like a son, I think there is nothing he can do to help us." The old woman said: "Who says the emperor is worse than a god? Didn't he say that the emperor turned into a white bird and went to the sky? I think the emperor is not a mortal but a god! Can a mortal be an emperor? How else can he be called the son of heaven? Besides, the emperor Even mortals are stronger than ordinary men!"

The old woman's words hurt the old man's self-esteem secretly, and the old man retorted: "That may not be true!" The old lady said: "Why not? The Emperor's Sangong Sixth Court can handle so many wives, and let the women conceive princes and daughters!" The old man said: "Even if the emperor does it, he is a dead emperor. What's the use of burning incense for him?" The old woman said: "The emperor is dead, and he is stronger than you! The emperor can conceive so many women, but you only have one wife, and you can't get your wife to conceive. I think the emperor's soul is stronger than you. If I am not wrong If so, as long as the emperor's energy channel is unblocked, my wife can also conceive a son!"

The old man said: "Even if what you said is right, there is still a little eunuch buried with the emperor! Who knows when you burn incense, will you channel the emperor's energy channel or the eunuch's energy channel?" The old woman scolded: "The older you are, the more confused you are! What are eunuchs? Eunuchs are just servants who serve the emperor! They are neither male nor female, and they don't even have men's things. How can they have energy? Besides, even if eunuchs have The heart of contention, the emperor will give this kind of good thing to others?"

After hearing what the old woman said, the old man had nothing to say, so he had to go to the emperor's mausoleum with his wife to burn incense.The old man went, but he didn't feel good at all!The old man seemed to really feel that the emperor's Qi had entered his wife's body when she knelt down.The old man thought to himself: I would rather be extinct than have the emperor's Qi veins enter my wife's body. However, things were unexpected!As the saying goes, the more you are afraid of ghosts, the more you will be beaten by ghosts!The old woman and the old man only burned incense three times on the Yongli Emperor's grave, and the old woman became pregnant.So, the old lady was very happy!But the old man was like wilting grass.

Seeing the old man like this, the old woman said, "Now that you are pregnant, why are you upset?" The old man said: "I'd rather have no offspring than conceive you!" The old woman said, "What's your name!" The old man said: "Damn the emperor, he will rape my wife after he dies!" The old woman's face was sour, as if she was really embarrassed by the emperor's rape. The story of the old woman's pregnancy spread in Kunming City.It is believed that the old woman conceived only after she passed the emperor's energy channel.Everyone thinks that the emperor is the emperor, different from ordinary people.Therefore, as long as the emperor's qi channel is opened, she can become pregnant.

Therefore, people from Yunnan and Guizhou who have not conceived a child will burn incense in front of Emperor Yongli's grave, and after burning incense, they will be able to conceive a child.It's been tried and tested. Therefore, everyone remembered the benefits of Emperor Yongli's Qi meridian enabling him to pass on the family line, but forgot the unpleasantness of Yongli Emperor's Qi meridian raping his own woman. Therefore, the incense in front of Emperor Yongli's tomb is better than the incense in the big temple.People would rather believe in Emperor Yongli and the little eunuch than Bodhisattva.

When Wang Shirong saw that the incense burning in front of the tomb of Emperor Yongli was so strong, he felt that the time had come. Wang Shirong said to Wu Sangui: "Would King Pingxi want to pay homage to the tomb of Emperor Yongli?" Wu Sangui said: "This king has wanted to go for a long time, but he is afraid that the people will laugh at him and Emperor Yongli will spurn him." Wang Shirong said: "In fact, as long as King Pingxi fasts for three days to show his sincerity in worshiping the emperor's mausoleum, the people will not laugh at King Pingxi!" Wu Sangui said: "The hearts of the people are so coaxing! I'm afraid that the soul of Emperor Yongli won't accept my kneeling!"

Wang Shirong said: "It's a joke! Throughout the ages, whether it is a god or a mortal, there has never been one who refuses to be bowed down by others!" Naturally, Wu Sangui didn't know that gods are like ordinary people. Seeing what Wang Shirong said, he decided to go to the Yongli Emperor's Mausoleum to offer sacrifices in person. So, Wu Sangui fasted for three days in a row and kept away from women, and then set off vigorously. The people in Kunming heard that Wu Sangui, king of Pingxi, fasted for three days and was going to sacrifice at the Yongli Mausoleum, and they all came from all directions to watch the excitement.

There is a situation of empty alleys in Kunming city. The sun was so good that day!Warm but not hot, lingering but not greasy, spread on people's body, like a woman's hand caressing. Wu Sangui walked on foot on the road leading to the tomb where Emperor Yongli and the young eunuch were buried together in Caopingyi. Being able to make Wu Sangui walk on foot is an unprecedented event.For decades, when Wu Sangui went on tour, he was carried in eight sedan chairs, and countless people cheered and hugged him.Not to mention anything else, just his grandeur scares ordinary people to shy away. Today, the common people flock to it, one is to see the face of Pingxi King Wu Sangui; the other is to see the scene of Pingxi King offering sacrifices.They saw Pingxi Wang Subu wrapped his head, wearing hemp and filial piety, he looked like a filial son, they had already forgotten in their hearts that Wu Sangui was the culprit who killed Emperor Yongli, and they were only excited and happy.I feel that Emperor Yongli can sleep peacefully in the ground with such subjects, and he can sit back and relax with such parents and officials. Surrounded by thousands of people, Wu Sangui finally came to the mausoleum of Emperor Yongli. Wu Sangui stood in front of the mausoleum, with his head slightly raised, looking at the sky in the distance.In the distance is a cloud that is swaying leisurely. Wang Shirong lit the incense and handed it to Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui took the incense, made three bows to the mausoleum of Emperor Yongli and the little eunuch, then knelt down, and shouted loudly: "The spirit of Emperor Yongli is above: Criminal Wu Sangui sees you coming!Although you died on the ground, but all peoples came to pay their respects, you can die without regret!Although I am living in the world, I am reviled by all people. Although I am alive, I would rather die! Now, I come to sacrifice to you, not for future prosperity, but for today's peace of mind. " After Wu Sangui finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that he was also forced to destroy the Ming Dynasty, but now he would bear the infamy of rebellion and be infamous for thousands of years, so he couldn't help but burst into tears from it. Seeing him crying sadly, the people around him thought that he was sincerely repentant, and shed tears together.
