C469 The Man-eating Dragon Throne
Zheng Buji nodded, "Yes, since Mr. Song Lian dares to claim first place, his ranking is even higher than Liu Ji's. Naturally, he has the ability to surpass others. Furthermore, he is a person from Pu Jiang, a man who has been in Zheng family for many years. I'm afraid you don't know about this, right?
Alright, that's not the main point. The main point is... His alias is Daoist Priest Xuanzhen, and he was once jokingly called 'Monk Song' by Martial Monarch Hong. Dao and Shi Wuyi were both capable people. He only hid behind the scenes when doing things, and many of the credit fell on Liu Ji. To people like them, these were just empty titles in this world. It's not worth mentioning anymore."
This time, Zhang Jingxuan was a little surprised, "I've always heard stories about Liu Bowen being the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang, but I've never heard of this Mr. Song Lian's divine ability."
" That's normal. Those who stand in front of the stage are usually not the ultimate characters. Of course, Liu Bowen himself was also very powerful. But don't forget that back then, Zhuge Liang only had three parts of the world. In the end, when he died, he was unable to unify the country..."
Zhang Jingxuan was somewhat unconvinced, but he was magnanimous enough to not refute him, because with his extraordinary experience and keen senses, this story should be reaching its climax soon. It was better not to complicate things.
Zheng Buji saw that he had no objections and continued.
"In short, Mister Song has a great divine ability. He is the teacher of Jianwen Emperor's father, Xing Zong. Unfortunately, Xing Zong died young, so his disciple, Fang Xiaolao, will assist the new Emperor.
Let's not talk about what happened before. Now that Jianwen Emperor is sad, Fang Xiaolu naturally has to stand up for his disciple.
Zhu Di's teacher and advisor also had a great background. They were the Dao Yan monk, Yao Guangxiao. He and Fang Xiaolu both had the word 'filial'. It was unknown if it was a coincidence. Before Zhu Di entered the Southern Capital, he had repeatedly warned Zhu Di. He couldn't harm Fang Xiaolu and her children, he was the seed of a scholar in this world.
In the end, not only did Zhu Di kill Fang Xiaolu and her family, but he also killed the ten families of Fang Xiaolu and Zhu Mingshan. "
Zhang Jingxuan cooperated with the plot, and his face was filled with shock. However, in his heart, he was wondering what kind of huge root of disaster was this. Zhu Di had killed a lot of people, and there was no need for him to be so frightening.
"Where justice comes, there is no fear of death. When Fang Xiaolu saw Zhu Di going against his will, he stepped forward and tried to persuade him. However, how could Great Sovereign Yongle listen to the words of a scholar? Not only was he perfunctory, he even wanted Fang Xiaolu to help him write the Imperial Decree.
Fang Xiaolu was disappointed. He wanted to leave, but was not allowed. Thus, he angrily wrote down two words: Yan Thief usurping the throne!
Zhu Di was furious. The next thing he wanted to do was to kill someone.
Fang Xiaolu and his wife told him in a flat tone, You can kill me, but don't bring harm to others. He also hoped that he would be the last scholar Zhu Di killed. Otherwise, he wouldn't blame him for retaliating.
Zhu Di laughed angrily. A scholar who couldn't even truss a chicken actually dared to challenge his authority and threaten him. Not only do I want to kill you, I also want to destroy all your family and friends! What can you do about it?
Fang Xiaolu and his children seemed to have guessed the result. He said that this was not a threat, if you still do not repent... Then your children and grandchildren will not be able to sit peacefully on the dragon throne. In the end, they will be eaten by the dragon throne. Every day you sit on it, you lose seven days of life. In the end, he wouldn't be able to live past the Heavenly Dipper Realm.
Zhu Di was the son of the heavens. How could he accept this? He immediately flew into a rage.
Since you have said so, I would like to see whether you are right or I, Zhu Di, have a strong bloodline.
It was because of my anger that the tragedy of killing the ten families occurred."
Almost everyone knew about this incident, but there was also this secret incident. This was the first time Zhang Jingxuan had heard of it, and he felt that it was a little strange. He couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Fang, why do you have to do this? Why didn't you just use magic to kill Zhu Di at that time? Everything would be settled once and for all. Then we would welcome Jianwen Emperor to stir up trouble. Isn't that good?"
Zheng Buji didn't fall for the question. He sighed and said, "Actually, I asked the same question back then. Sigh. Zhu Di was able to seize the country. How could it be so easy to assassinate him?
Therefore, Mr. Fang had the intention of dying. It was said that he had long linked the cause and effect together. If Zhu Di was willing to listen to his advice, then the direction of history might change. If he really killed him, then he would suffer the backlash of the cause and effect.
I am not very clear about the details. This was also the reason why Yao Guangxiao, who was in Beijing, didn't allow Zhu Di to kill him. But in the end, Zhu Di still killed him, and even killed him. All the consequences should be attributed to his descendants."
" So, what Fang Xiao and his children said next, did it come true? " Zhang Jingxuan asked curiously.
"It could also be said to have come true, or it could also be said that it did not come true. Who can say anything about this kind of supernatural thing?" Zhang Jingxuan did not expect Zheng Buji to give such an answer. He was very dissatisfied with Zheng Buji's perfunctory attitude.
Seeing the dissatisfaction of the audience, there was even the possibility of refund. The storyteller explained helplessly," The story of gods and ghosts cannot be true or false. In short, whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway. Moreover, as far as I know, many of Zhu Di's descendants also took this matter seriously. All of them were trembling with fear, begging for help from the Immortal, but in the end, they still couldn't escape death.
Let's just talk about Zhu Di himself, because the forbidden city of Nanjing was a cursed place. He had killed too many people here, and he always felt that Jianwen Emperor was hiding in a corner. Perhaps one day, he would come back through the underground tunnel. That was why Zhu Di could not sleep or eat in Nanjing. In the end, he finally decided to move to Beijing.
Zhu Di's son, Zhu Gaochi, lived for 48 years. However, he passed away a year after he sat on the throne. His son, Zhu Zhan Ji, was like his father, a decent emperor. He had helped Zhu Di pacify many people who had killed indiscriminately, and had acknowledged Jianwen Emperor's temple title. So I think the curse was kind to him, but it only allowed him to live an extra year. He was thirty-seven years old.
The leader of the Imperial Court, Zhu Qi Town, passed away at thirty-eight years old. However, don't forget that he had been in jail for eight years, spent one year in Wa La, and spent seven years in the inner palace.
Out of the remaining ten emperors, four of them had lived past thirty-six years of age.
He had become the emperor, the backbone of the nation, Yu Qian, to pacify the rebellion. Thus, he had accumulated merits and extended his lifespan.
Jiajing and Wanli had a secret that allowed them to live longer. It was that they did not go to court for decades and did not sit on that dragon throne. Jiajing was even more ruthless, not even staying in the Forbidden City. Instead, he moved to the south courtyard. Hence, among all the emperors after Zhu Di, he had reached a shocking 60 years of age.
The last person to live past 36 years old, Zhu Changluo, passed away when he was 39 years old, but only 30 days had passed since he sat on the dragon throne.
However, although his time as emperor was short, his contribution to history was not small at all. A single person drew out three of the Ming Dynasty's strange cases."
