Chapter 14 Thirteen Old Emperors and New Emperors

——Fragments from the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties Thirteen years, this year is the first day of yellow weather. In Jinling City, where the golden powder of the Six Dynasties was buried, everyone happily ran around in the streets and alleys, telling each other: "The yellow air is coming! The yellow air is coming!" After thirteen years of absence, Huangqi finally came! Not only did the yellow qi come, but people also said that this time the yellow qi was the most in the past 1,500 years. Fifteen hundred years ago, Emperor Qinshihuang built the Great Wall, abolished feudalism, collected weapons from the people, and cast twelve Dajin men. On the one hand, he listened to the words of the qi warlock, chiseled Fangshan, cut off the long trench, and vented the king's qi, but after that time, the weather in the east seemed to be damaged.

The warlocks secretly said that the royal qi in the north is gone, and the wang qi has begun to turn south. Those big cities in the north, such as Handan, Yangzhai, Beiping, Kaifeng, Luoyang, Chang'an, are all in decline. Now, they astrologically looked at the Xuanwu constellation in the north, the tail of the constellation gradually pointed south, so they asserted: "Wang Qi has gone to the south!" Wang Qi moved south, and the first goal was Jinling, which was the capital of the Eastern Jin emperors. It inherited Sun Quan in the Three Kingdoms era, and extended down to Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen dynasties.Although after those hundreds of years, Wang Qi once again moved to the north, and there is a tendency to return to the light, but after all, it can't be kept. Every sorcerer and astrologer admits:

The north is dead! The autumn of that year was almost over, and it rained a few times, but there was no thunder, and the common people were happy.For they know that from generation to generation: Leido after autumn, Late rice harvest is less.There are so few thunders this year, the harvest must not be bad, there is no drought, no bad year, less natural disasters, less man-made disasters. Everyone is looking forward to peace in the world. Everyone has a hope in their hearts. Anyway, the Yuan Dynasty is doomed. Everyone will never be angry with the Mongols again. Emperor Shun, who has no dynasty, is like a tortoise whose head has been broken. He shrank his head and guarded a corner of Beijing. Lao Chao, as long as the Han Chinese and the southerners don't fight north, he will be satisfied.He loves to listen to the ladies singing and dancing in groups, seeing their waists swaying through the light veil, singing:

The cold is warm in the south of the Yangtze River, and the hunger is full in the south of the Yangtze River. Don't say that Jiangnan is evil, but you must know that Jiangnan is good. Emperor Shun was satisfied, although he was a little sad in his heart, knowing that he could not go to the south of the Yangtze River, but in the snowy weather, the palace was surrounded by charcoal fires, and the room was full of spring. He poured tea, some poured wine for him, some made meat screens for him, and some sang and danced in front of him. He was also so happy that he didn't think of Jiangnan, didn't think of those annoying red-coated thieves, ignored the Great Ming King and Xiao Ming King, And the guerrillas of those southern barbarians... He was poor, and in front of the beauties' wine and Qing songs, his heart was condensed and his flesh and bones melted!Sitting next to his throne was the monk from the western lands, with wicked eyes, looking between the beauty and the emperor.Fan monks are the spiritual guides of the emperor. Every emperor has to accept the Buddha's precepts nine times before ascending to the great treasure. They hold the power of "divine right of kings", so the emperors have to give them three points, otherwise they will be caught. He lost his face, lifted his hole card, and made himself ugly in front of the common people, but it was not good-looking.What's more, the fan monks are also quite good at flattering, they study the cinnabar intensively, master the art of the room, in the sound of singing and dancing, they see the emperor's interest is approaching the peak, and they are good at observing words and expressions, and they can immediately see which party the emperor belongs to tonight The girl is gone, so, with a wink and a signal, everything is ready immediately.When the emperor's satisfaction with singing and dancing was almost saturated, and when he showed a slight loss of interest, they hugged the emperor into the inner room and performed their "Yancher".

"Yanqier" is Mongolian, translated into Chinese is "great joy". "Big joy" is real joy. Obtaining "Big Happiness" is not easy. Obtaining "great happiness" requires hard work and real skills, and this real skill is the luck in the room.If the luck technique in the room is done well, you can control several women at night and enjoy the pleasures of the world. Accompanied by the "Tianmo Dance" on all sides, sixteen flowery and jade-like maids, naked and wearing Buddha crowns, dance or practice yoga in a small secret room. In this small secret room, it is difficult for even the servants and eunuchs to enter.In addition to the girls, it is the emperor and the monks.

Fan monks measured the emperor's physique, and if they found that he was very excited tonight, they would give him pills and medicines, massage, and perform "double practice" ("secret method"). The emperor was so happy that he wrote a gold plaque in Mongolian with his own pen - "Jiji Zhaiwugeyi", which means "everything is safe" in Chinese. It is a highly enjoyable "everything light room". When the sun was high and he couldn't go to court early, he didn't know that the gangsters had already gone to mischief. Fan monks are not strange characters. They are the great lamas of the Western lands known to everyone.

They humiliated the concubine, beat up those left behind, dug up six tombs of emperors in the Song Dynasty, stole gold, silver and jewelry, and even cut off Song Lizong's skull, hollowed out the middle, and used it as a wine cup.They also raped women and girls from civilian households under the pretext of checking household registration. In the north, apart from the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty, they were the most popular figures. They sat in the emperor's dragon boat, which was really majestic. The dragon boat was twelve feet long and two feet wide. When it was moving, it could move its head, tail, eyes and claws.

They also found a worker who was good at doing ingenuity, and made a big clock for the emperor-"Gong Leak", seven feet high, with a girl, two golden armored gods, and six flying immortals inside. This clock can report every hour. once. "Gong Leak" reports hour by hour, hour by hour, and the ruthless years have passed. In the gray years, the news from the south was getting worse and worse, and the emperor was a little pessimistic. The monks persuaded him to have fun in time, and almost every day there were newly selected women's palaces, new movements, and new song and dance programs every day.

Of course, the emperor must play with women, but after playing, he seems to be getting more and more annoying.His temper is getting worse every day. The emperor's mood was as bad as the situation.He would often put his feet on a girl's bare back, stare blankly at the south. Fan monks have no good idea, they just assist the emperor in shifts, some of them play with the emperor, persuade the emperor to be happy, think far away, don't worry about these small disturbances in front of him; fraud. Autumn is almost over, what an easy year! In late autumn, news came that Zhu Yuanzhang had entered Gusu City.

It was really a battle of eagles, and in the end Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Zhang Shicheng.When Zhu Yuanzhang sent Xu Da to attack as a general, Zhang Shicheng asked Xiong Tianrui to make many flying cannons, and Xu Da's army died a lot, but Zhu Yuanzhang still ordered the army to attack.Finally, all the wood and stones in the city were used up, and Xu Da finally broke into the Fengmen. Knowing that the general situation was over, Zhang Shicheng decided to commit suicide. He regretted that he did not accept Zhu Yuanzhang's offer to surrender. Didn't Zhu Yuanzhang persuade him to protect his family with his whole body? --"Planning the king's business, occupying the land, and its destiny must all return to one. Where is the destiny, how can it be different?" He tied the hemp rope on the beam, and he knew what the destiny is!

"Bang! Bang!" A group of people rushed down the door and swarmed up to him, and untied him from the rope. His eyes were blurred, and he vaguely saw the traitor Li Bosheng gesticulating beside him. He was very angry, and in his confusion, he became even more confused. The astrology is more and more favorable to Zhu Yuanzhang. "The two stars of gold and fire will be divided into ugly children. After looking at it, the fire chases gold and surpasses Qilu." Occupy said: "It is better to show your military power." The military cooperated with the astrology, and Zhu Liangzu, who participated in politics, pacified the counties in eastern Zhejiang; Tang He, the general who conquered the south, pacified Fang Guozhen. Pedestrians fight against wind and sand, and there are many heroes in the four realms.When dragons and snakes rise from the land, destiny must return to Allah.No one seems to doubt who is Allah anymore. According to the agricultural book, in winter, when the south wind blows for three or two days, there will be snow. The south wind is coming, and so is the snow. This year's snow is really heavy, a vast expanse of whiteness, overwhelming the city of Beijing, and also overwhelming Nanjing. Beijing is still the same, lifeless, and people think about Han. Nanjing is full of excitement. I heard that Zhu Yuanzhang is going to be the real emperor! At first, everyone didn't believe it, because everyone knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was a revolutionary hero and would not have personal ambitions. Everyone knows that Zhu Yuanzhang was with Guo Zixing back then, and later replaced Guo Zixing, took over Guo Zixing's daughter and the old ministry, and started to conquer the world, but the signboard was "Han Lin'er".Han Liner is said to be the descendant of the Song Dynasty emperor, so everyone knows that Zhu Yuanzhang is honoring the Han people and prolonging the life of the Song Dynasty, rather than conquering the world for his own personal gain. But the news in the streets and alleys makes people wonder. At the end of the twelfth lunar month, more and more news came. But the news is cold. It turns out that Zhu Yuanzhang is an ambitious man. Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to be emperor himself. People are getting suspicious! "What qualifications does Zhu Yuanzhang have to be emperor? He is a hooligan!" someone said. "Zhu Yuanzhang is a peasant and a young monk!" "Zhu Yuanzhang's wife has big feet, a three-inch golden lotus—measure horizontally!" Haha!Ha ha!Everyone in the tavern laughed!The bartender laughed too, so did the waiter, and so did the boss. After a few glasses of old wine, everyone is even more excited!The more you drink, the happier you become. Everyone is a little drunk. Zhang San said to Li Si: "Hey, hey, hey, Brother Li, you can't drink any more! Your face looks blurry already!" But one person didn't drink. This man was wearing a turban on one side, with a cigarette pouch in his mouth, leaning against the vertical plaque of "Great White Legacy", looking at everyone coldly, watching everyone swearing. After a while, he disappeared, and no one paid attention to him. Everyone was paying attention to the wine bottle and avoiding each other's foam. Soon, it was dark. Soon, the hotel closed. Everyone was drunk and floated out of the hotel gate one by one. The next day, it was still the same team, with all the talents and young people gathered together.Everyone was chatting, but everyone seemed like a discouraged ball, talking weakly, and some were simply drinking, staring at the glass in a daze. Wine glasses can reflect the anger on their faces, but not the bloodshot eyes. Everyone knows, everyone tacitly, everyone heard that Lao Li disappeared last night. Lao Li is the one who called Zhu Yuanzhang a hooligan last night.
