I am the king of the dead

He said with a funny smile: "It was born by the mother."

There was laughter all over the theater upstairs.

When Li Binyan heard the opening scene, Li Taishi wandered across the four oceans, and knew what Guankou was today, but he was also smiling, and he also wanted to understand, Li Taishi is Li Taishi, what is the relationship between the Li Taishi in the book and him Li Binyan !

Ping Fan also said with a smile on his face: "Look at what you said, who is not born by a mother."

"What's the rush, listen to me slowly." I patted the gavel again, stretched out my hand and said, "This July [-]th, at the hope of Meng Qiu, the Buddha set up the Yulan Basin Dharma Assembly on the Lingshan Mountain. Climb up the lotus platform, the gods of Aluo Jiedi, etc., and take refuge in different classes, and the Buddha asked: "Where is the official Youyi?"

He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is this You Yiguan?"

Shaking his body, he said in a melodious tone: "However, this official Youyi, with long body, broad arms, blue face and fangs, holds a laurel axe, shoulders the Clear Sky Hammer, visits the four continents, investigates the good and evil of all living beings, stops for a while, wipes the sky Hell; in a short while, I have traveled all over the world. This July [-]th, I will go back to Lingshan to report to the Buddha about the four continents!"

After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly realized: "If you just say that you are the governor, it will be over?"

The tease continued: "This official Youyi said: This is the land in the east and south to the continents. There is a kingdom of China, and there is a supreme lord who is nine feet long and magnificent, with a face like a full moon, phoenix eyes and dragon eyebrows, and a jade crown with nine qi. Put on pine and soap clothes, leave Zixiao Peak, and descend to rule the world."

"Hey, which high-ranking person is this?" He asked casually after listening.

He slapped the table and said loudly: "It is the Master Yuxu who is the God Xuantian, the Heavenly Lord Youshen and Zhenjun who destroys demons."

"Just keep it simple, the gentlemen in the audience can't understand." Ping Fan seemed to push impatiently to tease him.

He said in a calm and unhurried manner: "Emperor Zhenwu is also, that is, we are now..."

Hearing this, he immediately understood, he pushed hard to tease him, and said solemnly: "Hey, Luo Bingzhong, you are looking for death, don't implicate me."

It's Shi Luo Bingzhong, the head of Naxiang's mansion, who is teasing, and another pawn in Xiangwang's mansion.

In this other soft box, His Royal Highness Zhu Zhanqian, King Xiang, was nibbling melon seeds and drinking tea, listening quietly to Luo Bingzhong speaking on the stage. His Royal Highness Prince Xiang and Prince Xiang's Mansion Chief Shi, who were at leisure.

When Zhu Zhanqian and Luo Bingzhong were not sent by the court, they were people of life and fun. Such good materials naturally had to be used for creation.

Originally, Zhu Zhanqian was going to go on stage to be a joker, but the inside and outside of the palace refused to allow life and death, so Luo Bingzhong had to go to the teaser's addiction, and Zhu Zhanqin sat in the audience and became an audience.

Luo Bingzhong hurriedly said with an apologetic smile: "You can't talk nonsense. When you enter the theater, there are only four words on it, don't talk about state affairs!"

"This official You Yi explained the matter clearly in a few words. What is the Emperor Zhenwu going to do when he descends to earth? It was originally to clean up a poisonous smell from the beginning of chaos. The temples were wiped out, old Chan Master Yang went to the north to save the barbarians, this Emperor Zhenwu is going to destroy the Buddha!"

After listening to it, he nodded and said: "Emperor Zhenwu is the Taoist monarch, and it is also necessary to destroy the Buddha."

"Buddha then found Patriarch Dieng, who is this Patriarch Dieng?"

"Who is the ancestor of the lamp?"

"Patriarch Burning Lamp is the master of the Buddha's prophecy."

"Clear."

"Patriarch Dieng Deng heard the Buddha's intention, and he did his part. He carried the auspicious cloud and landed on Shigu Mountain, hitting the stone drum on the mountain." Luo Bingzhong suddenly raised his voice and said loudly and hurriedly: "In an instant, I saw! The mist is dense, and the sky is falling like rain!"

"There are four strange people coming out of the sea. They have double horns on their heads and scales under their necks. They are so creepy! It's just that their appearances are completely different. The first one has a blue face and green clothes; the second one has a red face and red clothes; Three white-faced plain clothes; the fourth black-faced black clothes."

He then asked, "Who are these four?"

Luo Bingzhong patted the gavel and said: "It is the Dragon King of the Four Seas in the southeast, northwest, with a green face, Ao Guang face, red Ao Qin face, white Ao Shun face, and black Ao Run face."

"Eight dragons, four younger brothers have been taken in." Peng Mei nodded.

Luo Bingzhong continued: "The founder of the lamp took the Dragon King of the Four Seas, went down to earth, and was reincarnated. He was reborn in a military family in Jingluwei, Shaanxi Province. His parents are all hundreds of households, so he was named Li Binyan."

He pointed his finger and said: "I know Jingluwei, and later moved to Hetao to farm."

"Hey, wait a minute, you mean that our Grand Master Li was born under the reincarnation of Patriarch Dieng Deng?"

Luo Bingzhong patted the gavel and said loudly: "As the saying goes: the Buddha of the Yulan Basin reveals the truth, the Bodhisattva of Butuo Mountain knows the spirit, what other supernatural powers are there, and what ghosts and monsters are there. If you want to know what will happen next, let's listen to the next chapter to explain."

Zhu Qiyu said to Xing'an: "Look at the appreciation, call the emperor uncle and Luo Changshi."

Zhu Zhanqian arrived first, and Luo Bingzhong stepped forward and backward. As soon as he entered the door, Luo Bingzhong made a bow and said, "I don't know how offending Grand Master Li is in person, but please Haihan."

Li Binyan took a deep breath and told himself not to be angry. The next time he sees Tang Xing, he will definitely stab him to death. Then he looked at Luo Bingzhong and said: "Your opening sentence: Spring is very beautiful in the world, boundless flowers and willows are fragrant, there is no rhythm, Make the difference between the right and the wrong, and only then will the confrontation be neat and flat."

"You are also a scholar. There is no metric. Doesn't it make people laugh, saying that we Jinshi of the Ming Dynasty are ignorant?"

After deliberating, Luo Bingzhong said with a lot of emotion: "What Li Taishi taught is that Li Taishi is indeed a scholar!"

Chapter 995 King Chong and King Yi are overseas

The wheels of history are rolling forward like the wheels of a train. After Zhongguo Gong Shiheng brought the goods from Xuanfugong City back to Beitu City, the construction of Chidao began to be put on the agenda.

In Jingtai’s last great court meeting in 17 years, Daming announced the construction of nine large-scale roads, which were about to be rebuilt and expanded on the basis of the original Jiulong Post Road in Daming. Complete within 40 years.

That is to say, only 1000 two hundred and fifty miles can be repaired a year.

It's just a long-term vision, specifically.

22 years ago in Jingtai, it was a feasible goal to complete the construction of the road from the south of the Ming Dynasty to the north of the government.

No one can accurately predict the situation in five years. Even a virtuous minister like Yu Qian only dares to plan things within five years. Who knows what will happen in five years?

Road construction, dredging, and construction of water conservancy are the secondary distribution of the Ming court, which is the use of tax revenue. The cost of road hardening is [-] silver coins per mile, and the cost of Chidao is about [-] silver coins. Food and clothing are provided, and only a small amount of labor remuneration is given, and the price is based on the full cooperation of labor and official factories.

Every year, the imperial court invests more than 150 million silver coins in Chidao, which exceeds the total amount of silver that was converted into the national treasury every year during the orthodox years.

Regarding the construction of the Chi Road, the opposition within the imperial court was also very prominent. In the eyes of many courtiers, there is no need to plan such a long-term thing at all. test the waters.

The five-year railway plan was also established amidst opposition.

Another Spring Festival, in the spring of Jingtai's 18th year, Zhu Qiyu returned to Tai'an Palace to meet with the ministers to celebrate the New Year as usual.

The emperor's uncle Zhu Zhanqian has recovered a bit of his richness. Zhu Qiyu feels that the emperor's uncle is really busy recently, so he plans to make his southern tour and ask the emperor's uncle to watch the door at home.

Zhu Zhanqian was a little hesitant when he heard it. He asked whether it is possible for the prince to supervise the country. As the fifth grandfather of the prince, he is in charge of assisting the prime minister. If he continues to supervise the country, the prince may hold a grudge.

After Zhu Zhanqian left, Zhu Jianshen met as his son and nephew. Zhu Qiyu rewarded him according to the usual practice, and gave King Yi five pieces of caramel as usual.

"Uncle, my son has already been crowned, and I plan to go to Bei Dazhou to become a feudal clan." After Zhu Jianshen took the maltose, he expressed his desire to become a feudal clan.

In the current Ming Dynasty, the children and grandchildren of the old Zhu family have two choices, either to live in the capital and wait to die, except for Da Zong, the Five Dynasties will attack;

And Zhu Jianshen chose to go to the feudal clan, and his journey to the feudal clan was extremely long. The sea route exceeded [-] miles to the North Continent, and he would never come back after going there for a lifetime.

"Wait a minute, the flight route has not stabilized and is still exploring, you don't have to worry too much." Zhu Qiyu raised Zhu Jianshen for 18 years, and the little baby back then has grown to be as tall as him now.

For Zhu Jianshen, Zhu Qiyu is not very entangled. King Jili has been punished for 18 years, and even the people have acquiesced to the fact that Zhu Jianshen is the illegitimate son of Emperor Ming. If it wasn't for Emperor Ming, why did he treat King Yi so well?Why didn't Emperor Ming rebuttal?

Even Liu Yongcheng, a stubborn ass, no longer brings up the old story again, and no one will use the Yi Palace as a tool to resist the emperor.

Zhu Jianshen won the crown after the end of the new year, and the crown is also called the weak crown. Zhu Qiyu felt a little bit unbearable for Zhu Jianshen to go out to work hard at such a young age.

"There is a long way to go, and it is better to start earlier." Zhu Jianshen refuted his uncle's words for the first time. Before that, he never had any doubts about his uncle's words. Let's go, when the route exploration is completed, wouldn't he pick peaches?

Whoever runs for the people is the king of the people.

"To the east or to the west?" Zhu Qiyu thought for a while, but agreed. Parents should not be the constraints and shackles for their children to soar in the sky.

Zhu Qiyu chose fulfillment.

On the map, to the left is to go west, to the right is to go east, to go west through the Straits of Malacca, to Luojingzheng Peak, to Liberty City, across the Atlantic Ocean, to Cuba, and to the east coast of North China.

And to the east is the Seto Inland Sea of ​​the Wa Kingdom, across the Pacific Ocean, and to the west coast of North Dazhou.

These two roads are long to the west, but they are more mature, and after landing, they are the east coast of the North Continent, an endless plain where the mountains cannot be seen even after two days of horse running;

The other one is still being explored. After landing on the west coast, there are vast mountains.

"To the west." Zhu Jianshen did not choose to land on the vast mountains on the west coast, but chose to land on the east coast of the North Continent. To put it simply, Zhu Jianshen chose the simple mode.

From the development of the mountainous areas on the west coast, Zhu Jianshen is not so stubborn.

That's not a mountain, it's a moat.

Zhu Qiyu was silent for a long time, the children had grown up slowly, no matter how reluctant he was, he had to be willing, he nodded and said: "Let's go to the Ministry of Rites to discuss the etiquette."

"Zhu Yu plans to go with the baby." Zhu Jianshen said tentatively.

Zhu Yu is Zhu Qiyu's adopted son. The child's father is Duntai Yuanhou, and his mother died of dystocia. Adoption can also be regarded as a platform for the Xiejiayuan that year.

Now Zhu Yu is tall and burly, with big arms and round waist. He has been practicing martial arts with Lu Zhong for a long time, and he is also a titan.

Zhu Qiyu wanted Zhu Yu to go to the battlefield several times. Empress Wang felt sorry for the child, and the courtiers also did not agree with the emperor's heir to go to the battlefield. Isn't it going to stage another Jingnan change?

Zhu Yu's martial arts grades are excellent, and he has also participated in several grand parades.

Zhu Qiyu thought again and said: "Yu'er, you must remember that on the battlefield, arrows, lead, flowering bullets, and barbed wire don't have eyes, and you won't avoid you just because you are my heir. Remember, you can destroy the enemy only by living." .”

"Baby accepts the decree!" Zhu Yu was overjoyed, he thought he would not be able to go, but His Majesty agreed!

Zhu Qiyu originally planned to make Zhu Yu the king of the Western Regions, imitating the Duke of Guizhou, but Zhu Yu's biggest problem is that he has no military achievements, and secondly, the Western Regions already has the fifth prince Kang Wang.

Zhu Yu is now following Zhu Jianshen to develop. If he survives, it will be Zhu Jianshen's help and his own achievement.

If not survived?That's how it should be.

Back then, King Jili erected a dragon flag and banner at Deshengmen, and Zhu Qiyu had to go to the battlefield to fight desperately. If he wants to wear the crown, he must bear its weight.

Zhu Jianji didn't speak, but his father knew his ambition. Zhu Jianji's goal was Ceylon and India. He has not been crowned yet, and he will leave after he is crowned.

The term India comes from the translation of Tang Sanzang’s Buddhist scriptures from the West. In Ming Dynasty, it can be called Tianzhu or India.

Zhu Qiyu had already made preparations for the emperor's heirs to go to sea, which has political significance. Even if the government is dead, can he still go to Bei Dazhou to call Zhu Jianshen, the Prince of Yi's mansion, back?It also has practical significance. Even the emperor's heirs are actively going to sea. This is a means of consolidating the sea.

It's just that the children have grown up, so they have left the protection of their parents.

"Retire, baby." Zhu Jianshen left Tai'an Palace quite excitedly.

After the Tianming Festival, the Ministry of Rites discussed the matter of King Yi's taking over the vassal. The courtiers objected to this matter greatly. Liu Yongcheng all contributed.

Whether Xu Youzhen is a fan of King Jili, Xu Youzhen has the final say, but the Ming Emperor has the final say.

What the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty opposed was that King Yi went to explore overseas, and the emperor of Ming Dynasty gave too much!

It is already a great gift to select 6000 Pingbo athletes as King Yi to open up the army, and His Majesty actually wants to reward King Yi with the Lujiang number!

Right now, Daming has only six first-class warships of the Treasure Ship class, and the Emperor of Daming actually rewarded all the national treasures like the Lujiang, and there are naturally countless other treasures.

In particular, the opposition from the Ministry of Household Affairs was extremely loud. After two months of grinding their teeth, the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty still failed to win the emperor's will. They did not discount any rewards. With abundant financial resources, all the expenditures of the feudal clan come from internal funds.

A treasure ship, thirteen three-masted ships, nearly a hundred warships, and nearly ten thousand people, the guard of honor of Yi Wang's vassal, gathered in Songjiang Mansion.

In the summer of the 18th year of Jingtai, King Yi started a long pioneering voyage from the new port of Songjiang Prefecture with his fleet.

This time, King Yi's mother, Qian Shi, still stayed in Yiwang's mansion, while Yi King's biological mother, Zhou Shi, still lived in Baiyi Nunnery. King Yi didn't let his mother take risks with him.

Later generations will call it Yiwang Xidu.

And as Yiwang Shufan was the ninth official trade of the Ming Dynasty, in the eyes of the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, this was the continuation of the southward voyages during the Yongle and Xuande years, so it was called the ninth southward voyage.

Zhu Qiyu originally thought that Liu Yongcheng would follow Zhu Jianshen, the son of King Jili, to the North Continent, but Liu Yongcheng chose to stay in Daming, because Daming still needed Liu Yongcheng for its official ships and trade.

But this time, the couple Tang Xing and Jin Canju left their two sons in the care of the emperor and chose to go to sea again.

Only this time, Tang Xing won't leave this game behind. Tang Xing will go on a second round-the-world voyage and continue to explore the sea.

This time when Tang Xing left, he solemnly bid farewell to the emperor, Marquis of Zhenhai of Daming, and returned to the day of Daming, I don't know when.

Three months after King Yi left for Xidu, the Empress Dowager Sun of Daming who lived in the Palace of Compassionate Ning was seriously ill. Zhu Qiyu asked Daming's wives to visit her. The courtiers in the province thought it was some conspiracy of the emperor.

Empress Dowager Sun was already ill, but as soon as King Yi left, she let go of her last worry, and she couldn't afford to be ill. However, the Tai Hospital tried everything, but still couldn't save her. It was because the patient didn't cooperate with the treatment. Jingtai 18 On August [-]th, [-], Empress Dowager Sun passed away.

Zhu Qiyu didn't even take a look at it till the end. Ever since he ascended the throne, Zhu Qiyu had never been to the Palace of Compassionate Ning. On the 15th day of the lunar new year, Xing'an went to the Empress Dowager on behalf of the emperor.

All the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty knew that His Majesty the Emperor had a very small mind, and he was always worried about the things that Uncle Hui Chang did in Nan Ya when he usurped the court.

Uncle Huichang, Sun Zhong, hated himself when he was dying. He hated that when his eldest son, Sun Jizong, was born, he didn't strangle Sun Jizong to death, and sent all the families of Uncle Huichang's mansion into the underworld.

Sun Zhong is a person who is very good at intrigue and scheming. He is extremely disrespectful to the new emperor, but the new emperor's state affairs are complicated. As long as Huichang's mansion does not jump out, the emperor will not bother to take care of their uncle's mansion. Isn't it a good thing to be a rich man with the strong winds of sea trade?

Empress Dowager Sun was buried together in Xuanzong Mausoleum.

Empress Dowager Sun had just been buried, and the eldest son of the Ming Dynasty, Chongwang Zhu Jianji, started another discussion about the feudal clan. This time, he went to a relatively nearby place, India, and the reward this time was still extremely generous. Another treasure ship of the Ming Dynasty, which is a first-class warship , was rewarded to King Chong.

In the 20th year of Jingtai, Zhu Jianji bid farewell to the emperor and went to Songjiang Mansion, from Songjiang Mansion to the west to Ceylon.

After more than half a year, Zhu Jianji arrived at Chen Lunpo, Ceylon with the Fan fleet. The governor of Ceylon, Chen Shouyan, was still preparing to welcome him. For this reason, he specially supplemented the "Fan Guoyi Note" written by Hu Wei. Chen Shouyan lived overseas for a long time. I didn't understand the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, and I was afraid of making a joke, so I conducted several drills.

As a result, the fleet of Emperor Chongwang of the Ming Dynasty did not reach Chen Lunpo at all, but went directly to India.

The just 20-year-old King Chong bumped into Buzain, who was living a happy life in India. Will six thousand soldiers be able to conquer a vast continent?

The answer is yes. In just three months, Buzain, the king of the Timur Kingdom, chose to surrender.

Chongwang Zhu Jianji actually led 200 people in person, directly broke into Bu Sayin's king's tent, and put the Yongle sword on Bu Sayin's neck. If he didn't surrender, he had to surrender.

Zhu Qiyu never knew that among his several children, only one had military talent, and it was a top-notch military talent, and that was the eldest son Zhu Jianji.
