The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 712 Dao Yan, You Are Old
"You are much older."

The next day, when Zhu Ying saw Yao Guangxiao, she couldn't help sighing.

Seven years ago, at that time, Zhu Ying had just arrived in the capital. After her identity changed, she was only ordinary to Zhu Di, but she was much more afraid of Yao Guangxiao.

The black-clothed prime minister in history, with this name alone, he will naturally admire in future generations.

In contrast, when Zhu Yuanzhang was alive, Zhu Di was not worth mentioning.

As the father, Zhu Yuanzhang's suppression of the princes is invincible.

As the great-grandson of Zhu Ying, Zhu Yuanzhang favored him, so he didn't have to stick to the historical Yongle Emperor.

The most troublesome thing is Yao Guangxiao, this guy likes to destroy things the most.

Zhu Ying could even guess that Yao Guangxiao was the one who forcibly brought her from Beiping to the capital.

But having said that, if it wasn't for Yao Guangxiao, he might not be able to win the grandson position now.

After Yao Guangxiao was exiled to Goryeo to do things, Zhu Ying was much more relaxed here in the capital.

Otherwise, I don't know what kind of trouble Yao Guangxiao will cause. This guy must be secretly causing trouble, so it's hard to be sure.

Even if Zhu Ying is confident, it will be troublesome if there are too many things.

Throwing it in Korea will save you a lot of worry.

Seven years, how many seven years are there in life, especially for Yao Guangxiao who was already 57 years old at the time.

It's just that Zhu Ying didn't treat him badly.

Take control of Koryo, fight against Japan, and fight against Li Chenggui.

This allows Yao Guangxiao to display his talents and ambitions, and he can also leave a strong mark in history.

It's just that these years of running around and working hard have made the elderly Yao Guangxiao even older.

"Your Highness is more mature than before."

Yao Guangxiao also sighed very much at this moment, looking at the short mustache on Zhu Ying's face.

Back then, Zhu Ying was eighteen years old, but now she is only 26 years old, so how young she is.

Seven years, no matter how long or short, Daming has undergone shocking changes.

The change in the capital is the biggest. However, Yao Guangxiao traveled all the way from Koryo. What he saw along the way is that the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the commerce and trade are prosperous.

The official road has become spacious and flat, and there are fewer bumps along the way.

Refugees are almost invisible, and even beggars, once ubiquitous, are now a rarity.

Zhu Ying, who caused all this, is only 26 this year.

The princes of many dynasties are still studying how to fight for power and profit. Even the prince Zhu Biao is currently patrolling, studying, and helping with government affairs throughout the Ming Dynasty.

In just seven years, this Daming had already changed into something he didn't know.

So ten years from now, 20 years from now, what will it be like?

At this moment, Yao Guangxiao really wanted to stay in the capital and witness the increasingly prosperous Ming Dynasty in the last days of his life.

Zhu Ying did not expect Yao Guangxiao, who hadn't seen him for seven years, to become a little sentimental.

Immediately began to talk about the assumptions about my own mythology system.

This is just a retelling.

Following Zhu Ying's narration, Yao Guangxiao, who was somewhat absent-minded, became serious.

The back that was originally leaning on also leaned forward slightly.

When Zhu Ying talked about integrating the world's mythology system, Yao Guangxiao's eyes were already a little dazzling.

In terms of religious belief, there is no doubt that Yao Guangxiao must be a great expert.

It would be nonsense to say what beliefs he personally has.

Sometimes, the more knowledgeable a person is, the more he knows the twists and turns inside.

What is the original purpose of religious belief? It is to enable the rulers to rule the people better, and to make the people law-abiding.

For example, Buddhism pays attention to the afterlife, and suffering here is for a better next life.

Such people will be less irritable and obey the ruler's jurisdiction.

What surprised Yao Guangxiao the most was that Zhu Ying proposed another possibility of religious belief, assimilation.

Incorporate all the myths of the world into a large system, and then rank them.

This is a spiritual weapon.

"The poor monk has nothing to ask for in this life. I hope that after his death, the great-grandson will come to the Ninth Five-Year Plan and confer on the poor monk as a god."

Yao Guangxiao looked at Zhu Ying with piercing eyes, and said in a very serious tone.

Zhu Ying did not expect Yao Guangxiao to have such a request.

Thinking about it, maybe this is another kind of name that has lasted through the ages.

If the Ming Dynasty occupies half of the world in the future, then the world myth system will definitely spread throughout the world and be firmly believed by people.

At that time, Yao Guangxiao will also sing along with him through the ages.

"can."

When talking to a smart person, you don't need to talk too much nonsense, you can understand the meaning.

After careful consideration, Yao Guangxiao said, "Buddhist evangelism is more extensive than Taoism, and it is more convincing to borrow the sayings of the four continents. One of the key points, the poor monk has not yet fully understood, and it will inevitably be a lot of nagging. Your Highness."

Zhu Ying nodded: "This matter is of great importance, and I can only provide a general idea. The specific setting can only be Master Youlao."

Speaking of this, Zhu Ying paused and asked, "Did the mage ever know that I offered a reward to find the Tree of Tears?"

Yao Guangxiao didn't know why the grandson came here suddenly, so he could only reply: "The poor monk came to the capital on the way, and heard something."

If you don’t want to hear it, you can’t do it. Now that the news is spreading, every post station is talking about this matter. It is hereditary.

Even if he didn't deliberately inquire, Yao Guangxiao already knew the details.

But he didn't care much about this matter.

Zhu Ying did not continue, but told Guo Zhong, who was waiting beside him, "Bring me the map from before."

Guo Zhong hurried to the study and brought the map to the main hall.

Zhu Ying walked down the steps of the main hall, placed the map on the desk next to Yao Guangxiao and unfolded it.

"Mage, please see."

This is a rough map of the world drawn by Zhu Ying based on the memory of her previous life.

The reason why it is approximate is because of the proportional relationship, but the general land is correct.

"This is where."

Yao Guangxiao took a serious glance, and soon discovered the difference.

He dabbled in geography naturally.

The Ming Dynasty marked on the map, the grasslands, and even Africa and Europe have all heard of it.

After the painting of Daming Hunyi was completed, he also watched it with King Yan.

On the other side of the East China Sea, there was a large piece of land, which was obviously not in Yao Guangxiao's memory.

Zhu Ying also wanted to use this world map to shock Yao Guangxiao.

It never occurred to Yao Guangxiao to be very familiar with topography.

He had forgotten one thing, Yao Guangxiao used to be a monk official in Tianjie Temple.

Tianjie Temple is the place where Ming Dynasty received foreign envoys.

Therefore, Yao Guangxiao came into contact with the concept of the world very early. Even though no envoys from Europe or Africa have ever visited, he can hear about the existence of Europe and Africa from envoys from other countries.

In this way, it is normal to dabble in most of the known civilized countries.

Moreover, Yao Guangxiao is proficient in Buddhism, and many Buddhist classics are written in Sanskrit and Persian.

If Yao Guangxiao didn't understand these things, how could he be proficient in these two words.

Although it is not as exaggerated as Huang Guan's photographic memory and ability to know dozens of foreign languages, he is still a top talent.

"This is where the tree of tears I was looking for is located." Zhu Ying said in a deep voice.

Yao Guangxiao's face showed obvious surprise, and he subconsciously said, "The place described by Dongshan Jing actually exists."

Zhu Ying was slightly silent after listening.

He found that everyone seemed to be really good at reading.

The old man is like this, Huang Guan is like this, and Yao Guangxiao is like this now.

Is it possible to do so recklessly after reading a lot?

In fact, this is the difference between later generations and the present, because compared with later generations, there are really not many books in Ming Dynasty, especially ancient books like Shan Hai Jing, which are extracurricular reading materials for most scholars.

I want to see others, but I don't have any.

Daming's short stories are very popular, but this is just the beginning of Daming, so there are so many stories.

Shi Naian's Water Margin and Luo Guanzhong's Three Kingdoms became extremely popular after the Ming Dynasty came out, and spread all over the country. Even if they are illiterate, they will choose to listen to books in teahouses.

Huang Guan, Yao Guangxiao, these are all top talents, Zhu Yuanzhang has never stopped even when he became the emperor, so naturally he will not be unfamiliar.

Zhu Ying continued: "Master, please look at the map. Since ancient times, it has been said that the Eastern Land of the Great Tang Dynasty is Nanfangbu Continent, this Kunlun Continent is Xiniuhe Continent, and Obaro is Beiju Lu Continent."

"In today's civilized countries, they communicate freely with each other, even if they are far away, they are also aware of each other's existence. Only this Dongsheng Shenzhou is not known to anyone."

"Using the theory of the four major continents to correspond to today's world, there will be wise people who will point out that there is no way to defeat Shenzhou."

"What if Dongsheng Shenzhou is suddenly discovered amidst the doubts?"

There was a faint smile on the corner of Zhu Ying's mouth.

Yao Guangxiao naturally understood.

When the world mythology system is proposed, it will definitely be criticized by many people, because it involves the religious beliefs of many countries.

In some places with strong beliefs, dissatisfaction is certain.

They are all gods, so why is your god more noble than mine.

This is all fabricated by you, it cannot be true.

You said that the four major continents are still missing one piece.

When Dongsheng Shenzhou was suddenly discovered at this time, the situation would turn into a reversal.

It turns out that the stories in the fairy tales are all true!
Of course, those who will ask questions and doubts must be knowledgeable people.

But the knowledgeable people have already believed it, so there is nothing for others to believe.

Yao Guangxiao did not question the existence of Dongsheng Shenzhou, or America.

The grandsons have already offered tens of millions of rewards, and there are also hereditary princes from ten thousand households, so I'm joking with you.

Moreover, the existence of the expeditionary army was not concealed. Although it was not published in the mansion newspaper, anyone with a way would know about it. Even if Yao Guangxiao only came back for a day, he would still hear some rumors.

"Integrating the myths of other countries must be more real. Although the poor monk understands Buddhism and Taoism, most of the countries in this world are unfamiliar, and he needs some help." Yao Guangxiao said seriously.

Since it is a world myth system, it must include all the gods.

This is not a matter of self-imagining, it can be fabricated casually, and it can only be completed with the cooperation of talents who are proficient in religion in each place.

Only in this way can the effect of assimilation be achieved.

"Don't worry, I have already issued an order to Cao Guogong. I will collect talents in this field and bring them back to Daming. Jin Yiwei has also prepared for a long time."

Ever since he had this idea, Zhu Ying had been making preparations.

Li Jinglong's voyage to the West is such a good opportunity, of course we must seize it.

For now, the mythology of the Central Plains and surrounding areas, including Buddhism, is enough for Yao Guangxiao to write for a long time, and when Li Jinglong comes back, he can continue to add.

The prehistoric mythology system is based on the mythology of the Central Plains, and then spread out from the periphery to determine the core, which is much easier to compile.

Yao Guangxiao nodded.

He already had an idea in his mind. The controversy between Buddhism and Taoism mentioned by the grandson earlier was the mainstream of the prehistoric mythology system.

Written in vernacular in the form of storybooks, it is easier to spread.

With the imperial court's endorsement, it can be published in the mansion newspaper after completion, occupying a large space.

It can't be put down at one time, but it can also be serialized.

The Jingshi Mansion newspaper is sold overseas, so there is no need to worry about spreading it to the outside world.

"Don't rush to start, the mage just came back, you can rest for a few days first."

"For the convenience of the mage, I will issue a decree to enshrine the mage as the young James of the Zhan Shifu, so that the mage can travel and consult books, and mobilize relevant personnel."

Zhu Ying said with a smile.

In fact, he wanted to make a joke about old James, but he felt that it was a bit offensive.

Compilation of the prehistoric mythology system is also very important to Ming Dynasty. In addition, Yao Guangxiao went to Koryo, whether it was fighting against the Japanese kingdom or fighting against Li Chenggui, it was a great contribution.

When conquering the Wa Kingdom, Goryeo did involve a lot of energy from the Wa Kingdom, otherwise it would be very difficult for Ming Dynasty to go smoothly.

Goryeo has always harassed the border of Ming Dynasty from time to time, and Yao Guangxiao stabilized the border of Ming Dynasty in Goryeo.

Yao Guangxiao was in a daze.

When he was in Tianjie Temple, he wanted to be an official, but he got nothing in the end.

Not reconciled can only follow Yan Wang with a slanted sword.

Now going around and returning to the capital, I can already reach the fourth rank.

Things really are impermanent.

"Thank you, Your Highness, Long En. The poor minister will definitely do his best to compile the mythology system, so that His Highness will not be disappointed."

Yao Guangxiao was not as excited as he imagined when he got the official position of the fourth rank, but perhaps more of a sigh.

Whether following Yan Wang or serving as a national teacher in Korea, his power has already surpassed this level.

At least from now on, the Taisun canonize him personally, and he is already a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, and he has been admitted to the government.

Zhu Ying looked at Yao Guangxiao, who was a little old-fashioned, but now exuding firepower again, very satisfied.

The best contribution to Daming is to use your talents on the right path.

After dealing with the mythology system, Zhu Ying has no time to be idle.

After all, it's already the beginning of spring in February, and it's time to teach him a lesson about Timur's invasion of Daming Tubo.

Xu Huizu was leading the army, and the transfer of soldiers had been arranged long ago.

Of course, it is impossible to say that all the 30 troops will be mobilized from the capital, otherwise who will guard the safety of the capital.

Including Xu Huizu, a total of thousands of people from the capital set off.

Before departure, Zhu Ying naturally had to make some arrangements.
