Can you live forever

Chapter 114 Confidence, Journey to the West
Jiajing did not answer directly, but said: "The national teacher gave me three books, and I also gave one book to the national teacher."

After saying that, Jiajing walked to the couch in the study, took out a book from under the pillow, and handed the book to Zhang Zhixiang. Zhang Zhixiang could smell the fragrance of ink added to the book, and the title of the book was impressive. Yes - West!tour!remember!

"This..." Zhang Zhixiang was a little shocked.

The earliest version of "Journey to the West" is undoubtedly the Shidetang version in the 20th year of Wanli, and its author has been debated for 400 years. Wu Chengen, who was signed by later generations, was mainly verified by Hu Shi...

This is obviously not appropriate.

Because "Journey to the West" itself is a Taoist classic, it can be used to cultivate immortals, so the ancient biography was written by Qiu Chuji, a real person in Changchun, but there is also a "supervisor of ceremonies" in the book, which is an institution that only existed in the Ming Dynasty.

So Qiu Chuji was falsified.

There are two important clues in Shidetang. One is the preface of Chen Yuan. He said that the author of "Journey to the West" is extremely noble, and he is a "princess and eight princes". The king, or the ruler of the court.

The second is that there are annotations in Shidetang, which are proofread by the owner of Huayang Dongtian.

Who is the owner of Huayang Cave?Li Chunfang, who joined the cabinet in 44, known as the prime minister of Qingci, has the title of Master of Huayang Dongtian.

For a long time, many people believed that the person who corrected the book was the author himself, and suspected that Li Chunfang was the real author of "Journey to the West". Then... is it possible that Li Chunfang was only correcting the book for a more noble person?

Since the author can be the vassal king of Hubei, then... Jiajing was in Hubei before he ascended the throne.

Many thoughts flashed by, Zhang Zhixiang turned to the first page hastily, and the opening words were just: Chaos is not divided, the world is chaotic, the vastness is vast, and no one sees it.Ever since Pangu broke through Hongmeng, he has opened up the distinction between clear and turbid.Overwhelm all living beings to look up to benevolence, and to create all things to be good.If you want to know the merits of good fortune, you must read "Journey to the West: The Legend of Shi'er".

He guessed right, it was really Journey to the West...

It's not a printed book, but a manuscript, because this book still has blank paper, and it's not finished at all. The lines of the book are all from the new department, and the handwriting can still be seen to be new ink. It is very likely that Jiajing copied it overnight last night. .

Seeing that Zhang Zhixiang was a little surprised, Jiajing also smiled subtly, and said, "Well, it's just a book of stories, and it's not elegant, but what I think is all in the book."

As he spoke, Jiajing began to talk about memories.

"In March of the 16th year of Zhengde, the emperor's elder brother passed away in Baofang at the age of 31. Because he had no heirs, he had to choose peers or younger generations from the clan to inherit the throne."

"According to brotherhood and brotherhood, among the same generation, among those who are close in blood, there are actually several adults who are in their 20s and have children."

"The state owns the emperor, and the blessing of the country."

"If it is for the sake of the country, it is best to choose those elder brothers, but they chose Zhen, who was only 15 years old at the time." In fact, it is not yet 16 years old, but the ancients generally said that it is a false age.)
"Why?"

"Because I am a widow. My father has passed away, and only my widowed mother is alive. No one can support me."

"They thought I was easy to insult."

"In order to control me, they first greeted me with the emperor's etiquette, but when I found out, they switched to the emperor's etiquette. Afterwards, when I arrived in Liangxiang, Yang Tinghe and the Empress Dowager Zhang, together with all the officials, forced me to recognize Xiaozong as the imperial examination. Recognize your biological father as the emperor's uncle!!"

"How can I agree to the law of destroying human relations this time!"

"Not to mention where this move will leave my parents. If I succeed to the throne as an heir, it will be unfair to say that it is not a good name. From now on, I can only listen to others. If there is a deviation, I will attack me as not the heir of the emperor. My face is swept away."

"Therefore, I refuse to take this policy!"

"In order to make me submit, when I entered the palace, Yang Tinghe deliberately let me enter the palace through Dong'anmen to live in the Wenhua Palace. This is the side door, which is the path for the courtiers to enter the palace. If I were young and ignorant, I would enter the palace through Dong'anmen. If you consider yourself a subject of the prince, how can you ascend the throne smoothly?"

"Thanks to my quick wit, I asked Yuan Gong."

"To avoid this catastrophe, enter the palace through Daming Gate, and succeed to the throne in Fengtian Palace."

"But when they ascended the throne, they started to play tricks again."

"They changed the imperial edict for enthronement, and changed it to 'By the emperor's brother's edict, enter Fengzong'. What is it? Successor!!"

"This word is dangerous. If I hadn't noticed it, I would be lost forever."

"After I ascended the throne, the year name should be changed the next year. Yang Tinghe gave me the word 'Shaozhi'. What is Shaozhi? Inheritance and governance!"

"If I use this year name, I will recognize Xiaozong as the emperor and Empress Dowager Zhang as the queen mother. After that, I will still have my place in the court? Empress Dowager Zhang can join Yang Ting and them to listen to the government behind the curtain!"

"Even if I have successfully ascended the throne, they still refuse to give up."

"Led by Yang Tinghe, hundreds of officials persecuted me day and night, aggressively made me recognize Xiaozong as the emperor's test, and the court actually only argued about this matter endlessly, and did not see the state affairs."

"Fortunately, Zhang Aiqing said that 'inheritance is not succession', and my father and emperor were able to be preserved."

"This throne is justified."

"I have traveled all the way, full of tigers, leopards, and wolves. I have gone through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, but if I make a wrong step, I will never recover. The civil and military officials, holding the throne high in their hands, seem to be suppressed by all the gods and Buddhas in the sky. .”

"But I never gave in!"

"If I want this sky, it can no longer cover my eyes. If I want this land, it can no longer bury my heart. If I want this sky, all the Buddhas will disappear in smoke!!"

How high-spirited and high-spirited the young emperor is.

Zhang Zhixiang just turned to the end of this volume of "Journey to the West", and the plot just progressed to - Havoc in Heaven.

Yes.

Those who despise imperial power are not necessarily rebels, but may be the emperor himself, because only he knows what imperial power is, who really holds that power, and who is the real one—the Jade Emperor.

Zhang Zhixiang suddenly thought of a poem in Chapter [-] of Lion and Camel Kingdom in Journey to the West.

There are many monsters and monsters, and the four gates are all wolf spirits.The colorful tiger is in charge of the capital, and the white-faced hero is the general soldier.

The horned deer cites the text, and the clever fox is in charge.A thousand-foot python encircles the city, and a ten-thousand-zhang snake occupies the distance.

Downstairs the wolf called for orders, and the leopard in front of the stage made the human voice.There are monsters waving the flag and beating the drums, and all the mountain spirits are on the patrol.

The cunning rabbit opens the door to do business, and the wild boar takes the burden to make a living.The first year was originally the Kingdom of Heaven, but now it is the City of Tiger and Wolf.

……

The princes of the Manchu Dynasty are all the generation of tigers, wolves, animals, and all the profiteers in the world are all evildoers.

This world is like a demon realm!

Zhang Zhixiang touched the words "Journey to the West" with a heavy heart. The Monkey King who was still making trouble in the Heavenly Palace was not suppressed by the Tathagata Buddha at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain. It seems that Jiajing in history has been broken for a long time.

When did it make him disheartened?
Has Renyin Palace changed?
That's right, after dying once, I realized that I didn't have the ability to smash the Heavenly Palace at all.

His fingers gradually tightened on the writing, and even the paper was crumpled. Zhang Zhixiang looked at Jiajing, and read a poem very seriously.

As soon as the wind and thunder rise from the earth, there will be a pile of fine bones.

A monk is still a fool, but a demon is a disaster for a ghost.

The golden monkey rose to a great height, and Yuyu clarified Wan Liai.

Cheers to Sun Dasheng today, only because the demon mist is coming back again.

"His Majesty."

"Journey to the West, I read it."
