The one who can best understand Kublai Khan's anger is Zhao Bing. He knows that a ruler at the top of the country's attachment to power is difficult to express in words. And when someone wants to take it away from his own hands, it is not an exaggeration to react fiercely, even if the person is his father, brother and child, this is the reason why every time he passes the throne, he will be accompanied by bloody storms.
However, this time Kublai Khan only severely scolded the real gold and did not further pursue his responsibility. Instead, he promoted himself and placed great hopes on Lu Shirong, who was severely punished. He refused An Tong and others to temporarily transfer him from the position of prime minister. With the advice of observing the future, he issued an order to execute Lu Shirong and the rest of Ahema's party such as Gu Ashan for committing all the crimes of robbery, confiscating all the property and becoming slaves.
Zhao Bing could understand Kublai Khan's abnormal behavior. At this time, Kublai Khan caused many diseases due to overeating. He guessed that the "three highs" of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar could not be eliminated. In addition, he often uncontrollable complications such as meat eating, alcoholism, fatty liver and femoral necrosis must have been on the body. In addition, he lived day and night under the illumination of the night pearl emitting deadly rays, and all kinds of factors completely destroyed his health.
The emperor's medical records are absolutely confidential, and it is difficult for close ministers to detect them. Of course, Zhao Bing's judgment is mostly speculation. But he could tell from Kublai Khan that his femoral head was necrotic, and he had not been riding a horse for a long time and often lying on the couch. In addition, his eyes are turbid, blurred vision, and unmoderate hunting rate, he may have diabetes. In the middle and late stages, cataracts are one of the complications, which makes his eyes no longer work. Don't say that he has myopia. A person who doesn't like reading and only likes to run horses and archery will not suffer from this nerd disease.
At present, Kublai Khan's body is definitely not suitable for traveling far away. He insisted on going to Zhongdu, thousands of miles away to escape the summer heat despite his physical weakness. Zhao Bing speculated that he went there with the last hope after he had not been cured for a long time. One hoped to get the protection of his ancestors so that he could recover his health. The other was to rely on the power of faith, hoping that the shaman doctors and lamas could bring him back to life.
However, Zhao Bing thought that those wizards, lamas and their ancestors did not allow Kublai Khan to gain the magic power to revive the dead, otherwise he would not have been in a hurry to execute Lu Shirong and others, and the tension would have been eased quickly. He estimated that Kublai Khan knew his fate would not be long, but he was not confused. He realized that if he was punished for the real gold, then his death would inevitably lead to chaos in the world and internal collapse and separation.
You should know that it is not easy to cultivate an heir in modern times. Zhen Jin has been the prince for more than ten years and has begun to participate in state affairs. If he is abolished and Kublai Khan is in good health, it is okay to re-establish the prince and train him again, but at present, he knows that he has not had much time and has no time to cultivate another prince. Moreover, all forces have many objections to his selection of heirs based on Han law. If he has an unstable position in his position, he may be deposed and still have the rules to establish a new prince.
Zhao Bing thought that Kublai Khan must have thought of this level and let go of the real gold and set out to arrange his funeral. He knew very well that his son had been influenced by Confucianism for too long and developed an indecisive temperament. So he personally took action to kill the financial management faction that had always been incompatible with real gold to consolidate his position in the court, trying to clear the obstacles for his ascension to the throne, so that his golden family could permanently reside in the Khan position.
Besides admiring, Zhao Bing can only express sympathy. Think about how sad it would be to be a father if he was not dead yet, but his son could not wait to persuade him to abdicate and eager to ascend to the throne. However, even though he knew that his son was unfilial, he could not depose him for the sake of the overall situation. He still had to think about him and kill the old minister who was loyal to him for him. He would definitely be so frustrated that he had nowhere to complain.
According to the information, Zhen Jin didn't seem to realize his father's painstaking efforts, but he was frightened after the killing and became frightened. Zhao Bing was of course surprised by this. Obviously, Zhen Jin was just timid and stupid in his mind. Such an opponent is of course the best, but it is still almost the same as if he died...
Zhao Bing was so happy that it was not Kublai Khan's dying. Another thing was that after Yang Lianzhenjia arrived in Hangzhou, he asked the court to build five temples on the Song Dynasty imperial city. The foundation of Zen Dabaoguo Temple was in the original Chuigong Hall; Xingyuan Temple was in the Furong Hall; Prajna Temple was in the Hening Gate; Xianlin Temple was in the Yanhe Hall; Zunsheng Temple, a Tibetan Buddhist temple, was in the Funing Hall. It was used to suppress the royal spirit of the Song Dynasty and protect the country and the country of the Yuan Dynasty forever. He did this to "supervail".
Zhao Bing did not know what the meaning of winning in his previous life, and thought it was just to destroy the imperial tomb and cut off the dragon vein. Now he realized that this thing has a long history and has long been penetrated into life. Literally speaking, "disgusting victory" means "disgusting and winning", which is to use spells to curse or pray to achieve the purpose of winning, people, objects or monsters that they hate.
The most popular objects we come into contact with are such as carved peach versions, peach people, jade bagua cards, jade beast cards, swords, door gods, etc. The common and frequent ones are the money that is called the money that is auspicious or evil-resistant product that is cast into coins. The front of this kind of money is such as "Long live the world", "Peace in the world", "Good luck in the room", "Easy to the room and I'm a good friend", etc., and there are stars, Pisces, turtles, snakes, dragons and phoenixes on the back for wearing and enjoying. Every Chinese New Year, every household sets off firecrackers and changes peach talismans on the door to ward off evil and attract blessings, which means disgusting victory.
So these are superstitions rather customs. It is a folk ritual in which everyone is asking for good luck at the end of the year. This ceremony continues to this day. Without changing the peach talismans, it is changed to changing the Spring Festival couplets, and firecrackers are still set off. The ceremony is still similar to the ancients, and the true meaning is the ancient meeting. Not only the Spring Festival, but also the lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Dragon Boat Festival, the moon cakes on the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the realgar wine on the Double Ninth Festival are also a custom, which is no different from the ancients, and there are even some changes. These have the meaning of dying victory. However, because it is a national festival, there are many festive ingredients, and the dying victory ingredients are diluted.
The real evil spirit is that professionals cast spells on a certain thing and must use props. These professionals are witches and priests. The props are those evil spirits. Professionals use evil spirits to overturn, suppress, hide or block these originally good or bad things. The temples built by Yang Lianzhenjia in the Forbidden City of the Song Dynasty are suppressed objects. The materials they built are taken from the foundation stones of the temples in the past, and Yang Lianzhenjia also wanted to use the "Nine Sutras" written by Emperor Gaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty as the foundation of the temple. Shen Tu Zhiyuan, the general manager of the Hangzhou Road Administration, strongly resisted them, so that these stone scriptures could survive.
Zhao Bing cannot believe in this kind of thing, nor can he not believe in it. After all, his industry is special. He always burns incense and prays for blessings when he builds a new ship, puts keels in red and hangs in color. He has to imitate the new ship's outfits and throws champagne according to Western rituals. These ritualized things are regarded as rituals, and there are some good wishes, but the ancients attached great importance to it and believed it deeply.
Now Zhao Bing thinks that the Mongol Yuan was not only bullying people, but was riding on his neck to shit. Just burn the palace city, but also building a temple to suppress it. Wouldn't it be too much? Of course, the Mongolians never took the blame for the burning palace city, and the incident happened the following year when Lin'an fell. Public reports said that a fire broke out among the people, Mars flew into the palace wall and burned more than half of the imperial city. But what kind of fire could burn more than half of the Song Palace?
Therefore, it was a big deal that the capital was burned. Zhao Bing naturally had already learned that everyone knew that the buildings in the past were mainly wood, so it was common for fire among the people to catch fire. But not only him, but even his ministers also felt that the fire was strange. You should know that there were no houses around the palace city, and there were high walls to block them. All the important organs of the court were stationed in. They had to pass the Taimiao north to have houses and shops. The east of the Taimiao is the Zhonghe River, which was blocked by rivers. Even if there was a fire on the east bank, it would not burn to the west.
After the fall of Lin'an, the imperial palace was the government office of the Yuan Dynasty, and the army must have occupied it. Moreover, the forbidden city of the palace was huge, with gardens separated by groups of buildings, halls and pavilions. It was not that powerful people deliberately set fires everywhere and were not allowed to extinguish them. It was impossible to "burn them all". The forbidden city of the Fenghuang Mountain Palace was surrounded by high palace walls. The surrounding houses must be still houses from the Southern Song Dynasty, and they must be quite far from the forbidden city of the palace. How could such a thing as "the fire of houses was extended (the forbidden city of the palace) and burned them all" happen?
Zhao Bing analyzed that since the Southern Song army was still resisting in other places at that time, such a grand and glorious building complex was of course the most important target of the war. The resistanceists restored their spirit to the old place, so the Mongolian Yuan had the motivation to burn the Song Palace to eliminate the hope of the Song army. This fire can be said to have relieved the hearts of the Yuan Dynasty. For the Southern Song Dynasty's armed forces, which still resisted stubbornly, the blow of the destruction of the palace was undoubtedly huge. However, they also knew that the matter was large, so they insisted that the palace fire was caused by the fire among the people.
However, a small part that was still left after the burning was still not allowed to rest in the Yuan Dynasty. So Yang Lianzhenjia built temples on the old site and suppressed the imperial tombs that followed. Therefore, Zhao Bing's training today also provided an excuse for him to send troops to the southeast, so that he would not have the trouble of fighting verbal battles in the court again.
Now that Zhao Bing is hoping to build a temple on the imperial city, he will start a war. Zhao Bing's guidance is not enough, but it is enough to create pre-war public opinion and arouse morale in the court and the people. So he broke the news to "Qiongzhou Information". Of course, this information alone is not enough to attract attention, but he still has a sorcerer to help the imperial court!
These people are experts, so they commented based on the information provided in the article. They analyzed from the perspective of "professional" what consequences arise from the construction of a temple fair on the former site of the imperial city. Of course, the conclusion is sensational, saying that after the temple is completed, it will not only suppress the royal spirit of the Song Dynasty, but also suppress the prosperity of the Jiangnan, causing the talents in Jiangnan to wither and the wealth source to dry up, and become slaves of the Mongols.
Zhao Bing felt that it was still not enough because he had not touched his personal interests. It was okay to stir up the sentiments of scholars who took the world as their responsibility, but it was difficult to arouse the common people's shared hatred and hostility. So a folk Feng Shui master spoke and claimed that according to their calculations and the verification of the other direction, after the temple was built, it would not only lose its vitality in the south of the Yangtze River, but also cause large-scale natural disasters, especially the Buddhist temple in the Western Regions, which would also cause plague, and the land in the south of the Yangtze River would become a dead place.
At that time, the wealthy Jiangnan would no longer exist, with a population of less than one hundred. The Tartars did this because they knew it was difficult to kill all the people in Jiangnan, so they used such a vicious way to destroy the people in Jiangnan and turn the fertile land into their horse-herding place. Some even proposed that evil monks would not enter and cause natural disasters, and could not give birth to sons at home, which meant that the Han people had no children and grandchildren and completely turned the world into Mongolians.
The rumors in the countryside were even more terrifying, calling Yang Lianzhenjia a demon monk. He was ordered to perform the demon magic and needed 9,900 boys and girls. He used the essence and blood of these children as water, flesh as soil, and bones as frames to stolen Buddha statues. Now he was sending people to steal and rob children everywhere. Now, Mongols sneaked into Qiongzhou to steal children. For a time, it not only caused panic in the countryside, but also made them even more angry. They formed a group to inspect and prevent the Tartars from sneaking into their villages. Some gentry petitioned the court, demanding troops to send troops to Hangzhou to kill the demon monks to protect the country.
In addition, Zhao Bing also received many memorials, among them, some court officials requested that the court should not sit idly by and let the Tartars be bullied as if they were bullied, and should send troops to the southeast to relieve the dangers of the world. There were also strange people and strange things from the people volunteered to break the evil curse of the demon monks. After hearing this, the empress dowager was in great pain and sent an imperial decree to the emperor to take measures. He must not let the evil monk Hu Wei and harm the people of the Song Dynasty. The army was also indignant and asked to fight to return to Jiangdong, kill the evil monks, and return to the old capital.
Under the raging public opinion, the important officials in the court could not sit still and reported whether His Majesty would take military action to raid Lin'an to curb the demon monk Hu Wei. Zhao Bing was of course welcomed the "change" of their thoughts, although they only hoped to use a local battle to ease public opinion and give an explanation to the people of the world. So he ordered the left and right equal prime ministers to come to the palace to discuss matters. As soon as they arrived at the palace, Zhao Bing told everyone a more infuriating news:
Chapter completed!
