The descent of Heaven's Law should have happened twenty years later, but if someone can use some "karma" to sense the descent of Heaven's Law in advance, then the result will be...
After coming out of the deep palace where Concubine Shangshou was imprisoned, Wanli still couldn't fall asleep until nightfall, so she could only sit and talk with the Heavenly Master.
"I sensed the decline of Heaven's Dao in advance. The origin of Jin Zhuozi is really unclear. I have no way of doing this. If you want to know the truth, you must ask the officials who were close to him during the Jiajing Emperor's period." The Heavenly Master reminded Emperor Wanli.
.
"Tianshi, you mean Yan Song, Yan Shifan, Xu Jie... these people have all..."
Yan Song and Yan Shifan were killed long ago, and Xu Jie also died of illness in the eleventh year of Wanli. After all, how many veterans of the Jiajing Dynasty are still alive today, and those who can get close to Emperor Jiajing are basically young people.
Guys who write good lyrics are the reason why the saying "Prime Minister of Qing Ci" appeared. It was those unsuccessful literati who satirized the words of those who relied on trickery to get to the top.
Apart from these famous figures, other people who wrote good Qingci such as Li Chunfang and Guo Pu have also passed away. Guo Pu was the latest to die, but that was only five years ago.
.
"All dead? No one left?"
"It is true that they are all dead. All the ministers related to Emperor Jiajing are dead."
Although Tianshi wanted to say that these actions were like killing people and silencing them, considering the physical condition and age of these ministers, no matter how they died, it was very reasonable. There was no way to investigate this matter, nor would it be
Some people think there is something wrong with this. Does it mean that people have to live to be eighty or ninety years old?
In this era when forty can be called old age, people in their eighties and nineties are considered auspicious. Even if the ministers are pampered, living to eighty is still a luxury. In other words, Xu Jie died at the age of eighty.
"All the old ministers are dead, and all the palaces, palaces, and Taoist arrangements during Emperor Jiajing's period have been completely wiped out by the late emperor during the Longqing period. Could it be that this behavior was also ordered by Emperor Jiajing?"
Wanli knew that his grandfather was scheming and took pleasure in scheming with his ministers when he was on the throne. People including Yan Song and Xu Jie were just his playthings in the later period.
So now, even Emperor Longqing's destruction of those Taoist facilities made Emperor Wanli think that maybe this was also part of Emperor Jiajing's plan.
Perhaps he arranged for Emperor Longqing to do this.
Or maybe he deliberately took advantage of Emperor Longqing's dislike of these things and induced him to do this.
All the old ministers are dead, the facilities are gone, and all traces of the past seem to have drifted away with the wind, except for the ancestral tablet in the ancestral temple where the ministers and officials once fought, and Concubine Shangshou who is now imprisoned in the Small Universe.
Emperor Jiajing seems to have left nothing behind.
"The combination of the Golden Striker and the Jade Shenpan can predict the descending power of heaven in advance. Whoever can obtain this power will be able to intimidate Lishanhe, and may even become the key to the founding of the next orthodox dynasty."
"Where is Lingbao Tianzun?"
"Why should the national earthquake device be handed over to ordinary monks at will?"
The three questions raised by Concubine Shangshou are very crucial, but Emperor Wanli is now confused.
"Then let's go to the ancestral temple and take a look? In front of Ruizong's spiritual throne."
"Ancestral temple?"
Emperor Wanli frowned.
Ming Ruizong was the father of Emperor Jiajing and his original great-grandfather. Originally, it was impossible for his branch to sit on this position. It was because Emperor Zhengde died suddenly and had no legitimate heirs.
Adopt Emperor Jiajing to the side of Zhengde. Later, in the great ceremony disputes caused by Emperor Jiajing, the main focus was on the matter of naming "Emperor" for King Xingxian...
"But it was just a political struggle. Maybe it was a fight of temper at the beginning. After all, it was difficult for anyone to accept the change of parents. At that time, Emperor Jiajing was just a teenager..."
Can you still call yourself a young person if you are not full of energy?
Later, it evolved into a political showdown between the emperor, the new nobles, and the old courtiers.
"But, Your Majesty, please forgive me for being presumptuous..."
"I remember that Emperor Jiajing had very poor bones when he was young. Later, he encountered the guidance of an expert, and I, Shao Yuanjie of Longhu Mountain, and Tao Zhongwen, the demon Taoist, refined Zuo Dao Shendan, and then he was able to change his destiny against the will of heaven."
"I wonder if your Majesty is still impressed by the spell used in this, the 'Subsequent Extension Method'?"
Emperor Wanli thought for a moment: "Sir, ancestral temple, grandfather..."
"Eternity? Bloodline? No matter who it is, they only need their own bloodline, and there will be someone sitting on the throne of the emperor..."
The following words were spoken by Emperor Jiajing in the form of a fox dragon. This was also an important reason for the break between his grandfather Jiajing and his descendant Wanli.
It doesn't matter who the emperor is, it's only the emperor of this bloodline that matters.
"Ancestral Temple! Ancestral Temple, go to Ancestral Temple now!"
Emperor Wanli wanted to go to the ancestral temple with the Celestial Master, but the Celestial Master said that the Forbidden City was newly built, and many palaces and towers had been integrated into the Dharma Realm. Only the ancestral temple was protected by the national destiny and remained the same as in the past. And he was an outsider, so how could he go there?
What about in front of the emperor's ancestral temple?
There was no other way, Emperor Wanli could only go there by himself with Jing Zhenjian.
When the Forbidden City collapsed and ascended into the sky, even the altar of sacrifice and the Ancestral Temple outside the Forbidden City and within the imperial city were also dragged and lifted into the heavenly realm.
In the Ancestral Temple, incense is lingering. This is the only place in the Dharma Realm where you can see the appearance of the old imperial city.
Push open the heavy colorful door.
Halberd Gate.
Xumizuo.
Royal Road Bridge.
Wang Gong Bridge.
Xiangdian. During festivals, the tablets of many ancestors and emperors will be transferred from the sleeping hall at the back to this front hall for major sacrifices.
Finally, the bedroom.
However, the moment Emperor Wanli stepped into the gate of the Ancestral Temple, he was stunned.
The ancestral temple was originally a place where the ancestors’ spiritual tablets were placed. Compared to the stingy ancestral temples of the Joseon Dynasty, the ancestral temple of the Ming Dynasty itself was like a replica of the three main halls.
As an emperor, Emperor Wanli was naturally impressed by the architectural interiors of the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
But now, something seems to be different.
There is something wrong that cannot be explained. It is normal for it to be empty, and it is normal for the smell of incense to be there. Even the eunuchs wearing costumes here are normal.
They are so normal.
Jing Zhen's Divine Sword suddenly vibrated, making a sound like thunder, and the eunuchs suddenly looked horrified. After dozens of sword sounds, the surrounding scene began to blur.
Then, it gradually turned into darkness, and Emperor Wanli raised his feet and realized that he was not in the main hall.
But outside the palace.
before the threshold.
All the various scenery are illusions between the real sleeping hall and the outer hall.
"Due to the turmoil in the world for the past two years, I have not come to the temple to worship my ancestors. After the Dharma Realm ascended to heaven, this door has never been opened, but I didn't expect it to become like this..."
Beads of sweat broke out on Emperor Wanli's forehead.
"Who's in there?"
It was pitch dark inside the dormitory, and all the jade pillars and sacred bricks had disappeared. It was like an entrance to the Dharma Realm that was ready to swallow all things at any time. Nothing existed. Even if it was illuminated by flames, its light would only be limited to three inches in front of the body.
place.
There was a violent sound among the scenes, indicating that there was something abnormal in the Ancestral Temple!
"You came at the wrong time, and you actually came with that sword."
A thick voice came from the darkness and clearly reached the ears of Emperor Wanli.
"Since ancient times, the two dragons have not met each other. This rule has been in place since Taizu founded the country. Since you have discovered the secret here, you may not be able to leave here alive today."
"However, the person 'Wanli' will continue to exist..."
"A borrowed life will eventually be repaid..."
Emperor Wanli quickly stepped back a few steps, held the divine sword across his chest, and angrily said:
"Where is the evil! Could it be that my divine sword is harmful?"
But there was no abnormality in the darkness. Instead, it became quiet.
After a few breaths.
There were chaotic sounds and various painful cries from inside:
"Help! Who, who will save me! Come and save me!"
"I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, you can't treat me like this! If you eat him, he will also be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Damn, my head, my head was eaten...!"
After a period of chaotic howling, the sound inside disappeared again, and then the thick sound from the beginning appeared again.
"Wanli...Wanli...do you want to live?"
"Do you think you can kill me with the sword left by Jiajing?"
"Is this how you treat the benefactor who gave you life?"
Emperor Wanli felt as if lightning struck in his mind.
"The expert who gave advice to Emperor Jiajing?"
"You dare to swallow the incense of your ancestors in my Ming Dynasty Ancestral Temple?"
"Is this the golden hammer you gave to Emperor Jiajing?"
Originally, I was going to investigate Concubine Shang Shou's so-called worldly arrangements and the three problems left by Emperor Jiajing. I didn't expect to make such a terrible discovery.
"Jin Zhuzi... I haven't heard the name of this instrument for a hundred years. Do you have any doubts about it? It seems that it is known that it can assimilate the host and make the host 'transform'.
"
"Golden hammer...Gold is an immortal and strong thing in the world. Buddhism has a golden body, and Taoism has a golden elixir. They all take the light of gold and are strong and immortal."
"In ancient times, there was also a saying that when one is sincere, gold and stone will open up."
"The sound of knocking it will turn the host into a Taoist, thus opening the door to comprehend the way of heaven... This thing is both mine and not mine... Its origin..."
The thick voice said halfway, and then let out a harsh laugh:
"If you want to know, come in!"
However, Emperor Wanli suddenly said: "Could it be...which late emperor are you? Or my ancestor of the Ming Dynasty..."
"shut up!"
A roar suddenly broke out in the darkness!
"You descendants of the Ming Dynasty royal family...all of you should die!"
