In the fourth year of the Yuan Dynasty in the previous dynasty, the Yellow River overflowed, causing the displacement of people in fifteen prefectures and counties, including Shandong, Henan, and Xuzhou.
It happened that Zhou Ziwang rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty and the war was spreading. In order to avoid the disaster of the war, the Liu family in Xuzhou had no choice but to go south with the refugees and went to Jiankang to join their distant relatives.
In the sixth year of the Yuan Dynasty, after more than a year of hard work, the Liu family, who were proficient in business, had a small fortune and re-established a family business in Jiankang.
On the eighth day of the eighth lunar month of the same year, five-colored light shone through Ziwei at night. Liu Xi, the only son of the Liu family who had been foolish for fifteen years, suddenly woke up one night. An immortal came to his dream to teach immortal magic. He had studied heaven and man for fifteen years.
In the eleventh year of Emperor Shun's reign, Han Shantong, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, buried a stone man and engraved on its back "The stone man has one eye. If this thing appears, the world will rebel."
In May, Liu Futong, Du Zundao and others launched an army against the Yuan Dynasty, named the Red Scarf Army, and conquered many states and counties. The world was shaken, and under the clouds in all directions, anti-Yuan righteous soldiers rose up.
Yuan Ting was shocked and ordered officials from various provinces to suppress the uprising troops. Yuanting officials in Jiankang took the opportunity to plunder the property. The Liu family, who had become a wealthy Jiankang family after more than ten years of business, was accused of treason by corrupt officials.
Liu Xi was dissatisfied with the persecution by corrupt officials and united with several large families in Jiankang to rebel against the Yuan Dynasty at the beginning of winter. By June of the following year, he had captured 11 prefectures and counties including Jiankang, Yangzhou, Zhenjiang, and Taizhou.
By the first month of the thirteenth year, Liu Xi had already secured Jiangnan and Huguang provinces, with 300,000 troops. On the first day of the first lunar month, Daxia was established, Kang was renamed Jinling and designated as the capital, Jianyuan Wulong was established, and he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.
In the 21st year of Qianyuan Zhizheng, the ninth year of Wulong in Daxia, in July, Daxia conquered Dadu, Yuanting fled north, the Kyushu was unified, and the world was at peace.
In the tenth year of Wulong's reign, the emperor ordered a master craftsman to make a gold book. The immortal seal script is hidden in front of the shrine of Jinling Ancestral Temple.
In the eighth year of the Taiping and Xingguo reign, Emperor Taizongwen moved the capital to Yandi, and the golden book followed the ancestral temple northward to be enshrined in Tianlu Mountain.
To this day, no one knows the meaning of the immortal inscriptions on the golden book.
After Jia Cong only read the seal characters on the home page, he had already determined that Taizu Gao Emperor Liu Xi was also a "naturally wise" person.
The Supreme Emperor Liu Ji noticed something strange about Jia Cong. This boy had always been big-hearted and didn't care about anything, but after just one glance at the golden book, his hands trembled with excitement.
"Can you understand the immortal writings in the golden book?"
Jia Cong stroked the words on the golden book and said excitedly: "This is not some immortal text, it is just a special kind of text. Perhaps I am the only one in the world who can understand it."
"Really? What does it say?"
Liu Ji also became excited at this time. After a hundred years, someone was finally able to decipher the contents of the Golden Book.
In his excitement, he felt a trance in his mind and almost fell down.
Jia Cong hurriedly supported him: "Sage, don't be impatient. Let's sit down first and let me read it carefully and translate the contents of the golden book for you."
The two of them hugged the golden book and sat on the futon in the palace. Jia Cong pointed to the words on the homepage and said with a wry smile: "This sentence means, after forty years, I really want to drink Coke!"
"Coke? What is this?"
"A drink is something that is not of this world."
"Doesn't belong to this world, doesn't belong to this world..."
Liu Ji's eyes became dull and he murmured: "Is Taizu really a descended immortal?"
Jia Cong shook his head: "Sage, I have drank Coke, or in other words, I have drunk it in my previous life."
Liu Ji suddenly woke up and held Jia Cong's wrist tightly: "Previous life? You mean the previous life? Are you from the same world as Taizu? Is it the fairy world?"
Jia Cong shook his head again, comforting the excited Emperor.
The Emperor is old, and he is really afraid that something might happen if the old man gets too excited.
"It's not a fairyland. It's like reincarnation. I forgot to drink Meng Po soup. After reincarnation, I still carry the memories of my previous life..."
Jia Cong thought about it carefully and did not hide any of this. However, he changed the story about soul penetration and changed it to reincarnation.
"The Tao Te Ching says at the beginning that Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives rise to all things. According to my understanding, the world we live in is not the only one in the world."
"There is a saying in the "Book of Changes" that the movement of the six lines is the way of the three poles. The three poles are the three talents of heaven, earth and man. The yin and yang changes of all hexagrams are among these three talents."
“Just like the Tai Chi diagram, yin and yang merge and yin and yang separate, but there is always a little bit of interconnection between the two.”
"The earthly realm is called the underworld. In Taoist philosophy, after a person dies in the underworld, his soul will fly to the underworld, waiting to be reborn in the underworld after being judged in the underworld."
"According to the Tai Chi concept, the underworld refers to the black fish, and the corresponding yang world where living people live is the white fish. Ordinary people are constantly reincarnating between yin and yang, with no end."
"The heaven is the connection between yin and yang. Taoist practitioners ascend from the yin and yang world. They escape from the reincarnation between yin and yang, but are also interconnected with the yin and yang worlds. They can whole body, live but not die, and become Pure Yang True Immortal above the mortal world.”
At the end of the sentence, Jia Cong scratched his head and grinned: "Of course, I don't know whether there is a heaven or gods in this world. I only know that when I was four years old, I suddenly awakened the memory of my previous life, like It was the Meng Po soup mixed with water that I drank when I was reincarnated. It lost its effect and allowed me to remember my previous life when I was four years old."
Liu Ji suddenly said: "It's like Taizu suddenly woke up at the age of fifteen..."
"Don't scare me. Can I compare with Emperor Taizu? My previous life was only eighteen years old, and I was still a student when I was reincarnated."
While Jia Cong was explaining his "reincarnation" to the saint, he flipped through the golden book, pointed to one of the places and said: "Here is Taizu Emperor Gao talking about his past life. In his previous life, he was an official. , the official was a high-ranking official in a province. Well, he was probably the chief envoy of our Daxia. No wonder Taizu was able to defeat the heroes and drive out the Tartars in the last years of the previous dynasty. He had political experience in his previous life. "
After complimenting the ancestors of the Liu family and flattering him, Jia Cong secretly looked at the Emperor's expression, but was hit hard on the head by the old man.
The saint cursed angrily: "Emperor Taizu and you are both born with wisdom. I have already guessed this. I didn't say you were going to rebel, so why are there so many bullshit taboos? Keep talking!"
"I'm still a child, so I'm scared..."
Jia Cong murmured, but his heart was calm.
It seems that there is nothing wrong with "confession". If you quibble on this matter today, even if it does not lead to death, it will put a thorn in the heart of the Second Saint.
Turning another page, it shows the major events that occurred when Emperor Taizu established Daxia and governed the government. These are all recorded in the daily notes.
I flipped through it hurriedly and finally reached the last few pages. According to the Golden Book, after Emperor Taizu established Daxia, he did not hastily copy the policies of his previous life, but only made minor changes.
For example, the system was based on the previous system of the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and the cabinet was established, which increased the power of the cabinet and allowed it to check and balance the monarchy to a certain extent.
Increase the power of the Three Law Departments and strengthen the supervision of court officials. Abolish the old system in which punishment is not enough for officials, and implement the legal system.
The Metropolitan Governor's Office was established at the same level as the cabinet to prevent civil and military imbalances. At the same time, he initiated land annexation and wanted to implement land equalization, but he quickly withdrew his intention.
According to the contents of the golden book, it was not that he did not want to nationalize the land, but that the local gentry and clans had too much power.
He considers himself not a great man in his previous life, and the army under his command is not the red army of his previous life. He hastily copied the land policy of his previous life, and is very likely to repeat Wang Mang's old story.
Therefore, they could only settle for the next best thing and set up large tracts of royal estates and official fields in various states and counties to accommodate the refugees.
According to Emperor Taizu's idea, Huangzhuang and Guantian will be the nursery for his gradual implementation of land reform. When productivity reaches a certain level, he will nationalize the land of the dynasty whenever he has the opportunity to completely end the situation of no idle land in the world. , the farmer still starved to death.
After more than ten years of recuperation, Daxia had already gained some strength. When Taizu was preparing to lift the sea ban and establish an ocean-going navy to cross the ocean in search of new grains, he encountered an unbelievable strange thing.
There are immortals in this world!
One day, Taizu left the capital and stayed temporarily in Huangzhuang outside the capital.
At night, I entered a fairyland called Lihentian, and there was a female fairy in it, who was called Jinghuan. Jing Huan gave a warning, saying that Taizu was an anomaly in the world, who tampered with heaven's secrets and was hated by heaven.
Recalling that Taizu has the power to bring peace to the world can avoid the punishment of losing his soul. All he needs to do is to follow Taizu to heaven and practice hard.
Today, at this time, it is the time for her to return to heaven with a strange number. When Taizu learned that this person's name was Jing Huan, he immediately understood the essence of this world and had many doubts about Jing Huan's words.
During the dispute in the dream, Ning Guo Gong Jia Yan and Rong Guo Gong Jia Yuan received news from the scouts that there was a mysterious monk sneaking around outside the palace, seeming to be doing something.
The two of them rushed to the monk's place and wanted to kill him. Unexpectedly, this monk was so miraculous that he was able to escape from the hands of the two founding generals, leaving only a straw man.
"Saint, according to what Taizu said, the monks and monks actually appeared during the Wulong period. Moreover, they were tired of winning and were able to escape from the hands of the two founding generals."
The Supreme Emperor looked very unhappy. There were records of immortals and gods in the royal family's secret collection, but most of them were old affairs from the previous dynasty.
Unexpectedly, I saw something about gods and ghosts in Taizu's Golden Book today. That monk and his disciples actually appeared a hundred years ago...
"go on!"
"yes!"
Jia Cong turned another page. This was already the penultimate page.
Although Ning Rong Ergong did not kill the demon, he also interrupted his demonic skills and brought Taizu's soul back to reality from Lihentian.
However, after this incident, Taizu lost his energy and blood, and his health deteriorated. Taizu knew very well that Jing Huan and others were not decent immortals, so he urgently recruited the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain to come to the capital.
Later, under the guidance of the contemporary Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, he went to Shaanxi Huangling to worship Xuanyuan, recast the Nine Tripods, and erected them in front of the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum to suppress the destiny of the human race.
An edict was also sent to the Jia family, ordering the two government offices to lead a large army to eradicate the obscene temples and evil temples in the world and cut off the incense of demons. He also made Taoism the state religion, and made Longhu Mountain the head of the Taoist sect in the world, specializing in the evil and evil things in the world.
The human emperor's sacrifices were recast, and the country's fortunes in Great Xia prospered. Under the broken altars and temples, most of the obscene temples in the world were destroyed.
Later, the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, with his divine luck, caused the so-called celestial goddess policewoman to enter her dream and seriously injured her. For a time, the world was peaceful and the world was stable.
Unfortunately, Taizu's soul was injured due to falling into a dream. In April of the 18th year of Wulong, Taizu died in the Huangji Hall of Jinling. His life was fifty-five.
Before his death, he ordered people to fetch a gold book and warned future generations that if there are people in the country who are born with wisdom, they can take the gold book and let them look at it. Don't hurt anyone who is not a treacherous or evil person.
The Golden Book did not directly state the incident at the Red Mansion, nor did it mention what might happen in the future generations of the Ning and Rong mansions.
On the contrary, because the first generation Ning Rong Ergong accidentally saved Taizu, and the Jia family was loyal at that time, he took great care of Ning Rong and Ning Rong.
There is also a line of Chinese characters engraved at the end of the gold book: Ning Rong Erfu was a hero in the founding of the country, and he was also responsible for saving the country. Later, he offended the demons and immortals by punishing the altar and destroying the temple, and his descendants must not be killed except for the crime of treason.
Jia Cong deliberately put this sentence in front of the Supreme Emperor, but was hit hard on the head by the old man again: "Small body, full of evil intentions. I have known this for a long time, otherwise why do you think the royal family has treated your family for hundreds of years?" This is my trust.”
After suffering a brain breakdown, Jia Cong grinned. It seems that the contribution of ancestor Ning Rong has made the old Liu family's trust in the Jia family rise to the extreme. Over the past hundred years, the two houses of Ning and Rong have continued to be graceful and prosperous, and this is probably an act of repayment by the old Liu family.
However, the two houses of Ning and Rong also left huge hidden dangers to the Jia family because of their loyalty. For example, the police fantasy monster has a hatred for the Jia family for hundreds of years.
The so-called story of the Red Mansion is probably that Jing Huan took advantage of the Jia family in order to avenge Ning Rong's ancestors for ruining her important event and denying her the right to sacrifice incense. He set up a scheme to destroy the Jia family in their generation. .
Fortunately, he had traveled through time again. After Emperor Taizu and his two time-travelers flapped their wings, Jing Huan Yao Ren's plan was probably going to go bankrupt.
Unfortunately, there are not many records about the so-called heavenly world and vigilant illusions in the Golden Book. When he has the opportunity, Jia Cong plans to go to Longhu Mountain to inquire about these things, and maybe he can also find out some things about his past and present lives.
This was not the time to think about this, Jia Cong still had a doubt in his mind.
He put the golden book away, sighed and said: "It is a pity that Taizu, a man of great talent and talent, died due to evil and evil men. Saint, the golden book said that Taizu once left "The Grand Canon of Governing the World" to future emperors. How come I have never heard of this or seen anyone practice it?”
"This matter is related to Shi Guopei's old affairs. At that time, before I came into power, Shi Guopei had great power in the government. Shi Guopei forced me to read the "Government of the World" on the pretext of teaching me how to govern the government..."
After the old man's narration, Jia Cong also understood why this strange book, which contained Emperor Taizu's political experience in his past and present lives, had not been handed down.
Because Shi Guopei, who was in charge of the government at the time, was frightened by the policies and methods in the "Government of the World" and believed that the policies of governing the country stated by Emperor Taizu were the source of troubled times and hurt the foundation of scholar-bureaucrats.
Therefore, before the young emperor could read and study it, he burned it with the help of eunuchs.
This incident was also the regret of the Supreme Emperor's life. He still only remembers that his father, Emperor Taizong Wen, often mentioned to him that one day he would implement all the strategies in the "Grand Ceremony of Governance of the World".
By then, Daxia will usher in an eternal prosperous age, and the Liu family will be one lineage for eternity...
Not only the Emperor was like this, but also Jia Cong's face was filled with regret. That was the political experience of a high-ranking official in his previous life, which was ten levels better than that of a high school graduate like him.
He also wanted to see how this time-traveling senior would deal with the contradiction between monarchy and democracy, and how he would solve the troubles encountered in the reform. He didn't want to be burned by someone. How infuriating!
The old man and the young man sat on the futon holding golden books, sighing and hissing.
In the end, the Grand Emperor suppressed his regrets and curiously asked about Jia Cong's memories of his previous life.
"What did the high-ranking official of Emperor Taizu look like? Who was the emperor of your previous life? What? There is no emperor anymore!"
"Oh, that's it. This man is indeed a great man of all ages. I admire him. It's a pity that I can't meet him."
"The soul of the Han Dynasty is immortal and the great Han Dynasty has been revived. How wonderful!"
"You said the emperor is gone. It's just a title. The Great Wall is still there today, but Qin Shihuang is nowhere to be seen. How can there be a dynasty that lasts for ten thousand years in this world?"
"Is that Coke really that delicious? I really want to try it. Can you make it? No, forget it."
…
The old man listened to Jia Cong telling him about the past life. He was shocked and emotional at the same time. Finally, he said casually: "The world is rich and the people are happy. It is really a prosperous age that people yearn for. It's a pity that I can't see it anymore."
I finally finished filling in the holes, went to bed, and continued coding when I had enough energy. Good night~ No, good morning!
