After Wang Gui and Wang Bin passed Wushan County, they met the White Lotus Sect members on the mountain road and tried to sell them magic water. They also mentioned that the evil ghost had appeared in the Ghost King Temple and that only the magic water could ensure safety.
There seemed to be many run-down households and homeless people gathered nearby, trying to make a living here. There are trackers, dock coolies, people working in coal and iron mines, and bandits. The place where Sichuan Chief Envoys and Huguang Land meet, the mountains and rivers are complex, and it is also the east hub of Sichuan. The government governance is weak, and mountain bandits and river bandits are notorious.
Therefore, large and small sects such as the White Lotus Sect and the Ming Sect, which were banned by the imperial court, all came and went nearby. This place is messy and not a pure land. It is not unusual for Wang Gui and others to meet the believers again.
When Wang Gui
In the capital, the dark Fusi Prison in Beizhen is filled with all kinds of stinks. Strange sounds would come from here from time to time, but they were not too noisy. Many squirming people looked weak and half-dead.When the jailer who delivered the food came in, the place became a little more lively, and many people dragging chains became slightly lively.Geng Hao, who was sobbing, suddenly felt better. Amidst the sound of the iron chains, he crawled to the cell door and almost wanted to shove his face out of the small opening for delivering food!He shouted loudly, "When are you going to let me out? What is my crime? When are you going to judge me... let me out!"The jailer's voice said, "Would you like to eat? If you want to eat, get out of the way!"Geng Hao hesitated for a moment, then shrank his face back. When the food was delivered to the small opening in the cell, he immediately started shouting again. However, the jailer was like a dea
The capital had been sunny and windless for many days. There was a thin mist in the morning air, but once the sun came out, the mist would disappear. Today was destined to be a clear and bright day.When the eunuch Zheng He walked out of Longjiang Temple, he had already been fasting here for three days and three nights, eating only vegetarian food and reciting Buddhist scriptures every day.Longjiang Temple is small and not very famous, and even has only a few monks. However, it is located at the foot of Lion Mountain outside Fengyi Gate, close to Longjiang Shipyard, the newly built Treasure Shipyard, Longjiang Port and the surface of the Yangtze River; so Zheng He, the imperial envoy holding the emperor's imperial edict, condescended to live in this dilapidated temple.Eunuchs Zheng He, Hou Xian and Wang Jinghong walked towards the mountain gate, surrounded by a large crowd. Many officials and generals came to meet them, and they all bowed to each other and
Chen Tianping arrived in Kunming in the autumn of the third year of Yongle. The military commander Huang Zhong who escorted him was the Left Vice General of Guangxi, who was reporting to the capital this year and took up the task.Huang Zhong and Chen Tianping will stay in Yunnan for a while, waiting for the Yunnan Provincial Administration to dispatch troops and escort Chen Tianping back to China. Now, when the Yunnan Provincial Administration Commissioner mobilizes troops on the ground, it must inform the Han Palace and the Mu Palace.Zhu Gaoxu soon learned the news and summoned Chen Tianping, Huang Zhong, and the old ministers of Annan to Chengyun Hall.Chen Tianping looked very confident, which made Zhu Gaoxu very curious: the Hu father and son had committed regicide and usurped the throne, so they must have seized power. How could Chen Tianping, a member of the royal family, take back power after returning to Annan?Without waiting for Zhu Gaoxu t
It was the twelfth month of winter, and the current in this section of the Red River was still strong. The road along the river was wide, but on both sides were high mountains and steep ridges. Huang Zhong was a military commander who led troops all year round, so seeing this kind of terrain, he was inevitably nervous.However, after everyone passed through Jilingguan (Old Street) one after another, they gradually felt more at ease. Jiling Pass is one of the most important passes in the north of Anan Kingdom. Being able to pass this pass naturally makes people feel that things are going well.Lu Song, a civilian officer in the military, forced a smile on his face and said to Huang Zhong, "The Hu family resents Chen Tianping, but they dare not act rashly against the Ming soldiers, let alone us holding the imperial edict."Huang Zhong thought so and nodded, "What you said makes sense."After the Hu family usurped the throne, they sent advance envoys to t
Shi Qianxun, the chief minister of the Han Dynasty, said that firearms had been used frequently in the Central Plains since the Song Dynasty. By the Yuan Dynasty, firearms were used in almost every battle. Later, Annan, Dashi and other countries all used it.Within two days, Zhu Gaoxu met Shen Xu again. Shen Xu said that Annan had a seaport called Yuntun, where merchants from all over the world came to trade all year round. Han merchants also went there frequently, and saw many cannibals there.At this time, Zhu Gaoxu was a little worried that Annan might have learned more advanced firearms from Arabia or somewhere else. After all, China, which invented the firecracker, may not necessarily develop the fastest.Zhu Gaoxu was very concerned about this matter. When Huang Zhong's defeated army arrived in Kunming City, he personally came to Huang Zhong's army to inquire.Huang Zhong frowned and recalled, "At that time, the enemy soldiers suddenly launched.
Zhang Fu came out of the imperial city and told the big-mouthed Zhu Neng that since he had been appointed as deputy general, he did not dare to die and was going to do something now. So the two of them said goodbye. Zhu Neng left Hongwu Gate, while Zhang Fu stayed in Qianbu Corridor and went to the Jinyi Guards Office.It happened that Ji Gang, the commander of Jinyiwei, was not in the government office, so Zhang Fu was called to wait in the lobby.There were two people in the hall inside, discussing in a low voice. One of them had a handsome face and a short stature, only reaching the shoulder of the other general. The tall voice said, "The man in the hall can't even be ignored by the Jin Yiwei. Mr. Yang, please hurry up and ask for tea."The short Yang Zongqi asked curiously, "What's your background?"The tall man said, "He is a marquis."Yang Zongqi said "Oh"...Zhang Fu also knew that on this thousand-step corridor, it was easy to see the vari
It's late at night, and Yuan Gong hasn't fallen asleep yet. He stayed at Xuanzang Temple tonight, but he stood on the pagoda for half the night.The weather was clear and the stars in the sky were dazzling. Yuan Gong was counting on his fingers while looking at the stars. When he was a fortune teller, he learned a secret method of observing the sky. He stood here and counted for half the night. He felt that the southern general's fortune was declining and he was afraid of disaster!But when he thought that the coach of Zheng Annan was the King of Han, he decided not to say anything, and a smile gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth....In May in Yunnan, the weather was sunny and the daytime was a bit hot. Zhu Gaoxu was lying in the corridor next to the study, covered with a quilt, sleeping. His forehead was soaked with sweat, his eyeballs moved under his eyelids but did not open, and his face was flushed.In the dream, he felt like he wa
Mu Sheng had not been to the Liyuan for a long time. One day, he suddenly received an invitation. Shen Xu invited him to go to the Liyuan to listen to a play.He hesitated for a moment and then prepared to go to the appointment. Mu Zhen, Mu Sheng's eldest daughter, loved to hear Li Lou from the Li Yuan sing opera, so she disguised herself as a man and followed Mu Sheng.Unexpectedly, soon after arriving at the theater, Mrs. Shen Xu came to see her. She said that the King of Han happened to have just arrived at the Shen Garden at the back, and heard that the Marquis of Xiping was in the Liyuan, and wanted to invite him to come and talk.At this time, Mu Sheng vaguely guessed that the person who invited him might be the King of Han. How can it be such a coincidence?Mu Sheng has been in Yunnan Mansion for many years, so he has naturally visited Shen Garden. Ordinary people here don't know it, but it is quite famous among the dignitaries of Kunming City.
