He brought a lot of information, the main one being the previous county annals. The fastest update came from Shangjiang City, which was upgraded from a county-level establishment to a prefecture-level city more than ten years ago.
Director Fan opened the yellowed books one by one, and then found for me the relevant records describing the temple.
After reading the materials, I found that there was no record of Zhang Xianzhong’s men burning the temple. However, the records of the temple in these materials were very simple. They mainly described the prosperity of the temple at that time. I guess he was facing me before.
What they are talking about are so-called legends or unofficial records.
But I didn't blame him anymore, but I was really interested in this matter, and then I asked him: "Where exactly is this temple? On which mountain? By the way, do you have a map here? Are you on the map?
Show me your finger."[
He immediately took a map of the city, pointed to a place and said to me: "This is it. I have been to that place several times, but I didn't find any signs that there had been a temple. But there were several ancient trees there.
Judging from the position of those trees, they should be artificially planted, and that place should be the gate of the temple, because there is a cliff outside those trees, and the gate of the temple usually faces the opposite mountain peak."
I suddenly thought of the trees I saw when I went there with Zhong Feng, and I immediately felt that they were similar to what he described. At this moment, my heart suddenly became excited: Could there really be something out there somewhere?
Something like gods and Buddhas?
If that place really was a temple before, then Zhong Feng's dream would be incredible.
Therefore, I really want to find out about this matter, and if what is recorded in these materials is true, this is a huge business opportunity, and it is also a very good publicity entry point for Shangjiang City.
I recalled the direction Zhong Feng and I went last time, and it seemed to be the place Director Fan mentioned. I suddenly remembered the agreement between Political Commissar Liu and me, and thought we might as well go there on Saturday.
So I said to Director Fan: "Director Fan, are you free this Saturday? If you are free, let's go and see this place together, okay?"
He was startled for a moment, then smiled, "Of course I'm free. I didn't expect Mayor Feng to be very interested in this temple."
I smiled faintly and then said to him: "Director Fan, let me tell you, if this temple really exists and is famous in history, it will be a very valuable asset to our city.
. Today’s people’s lives are getting better and better, but they are becoming more and more superstitious. This is because the pressure of competition is also increasing. Look at the famous temples today, which one is not very popular?”
He nodded, "That makes sense. I'll take you to see it then."
I said: "Okay. Then I will delay your weekend rest. I will pick you up then."
After I came out of the municipal affairs office, I suddenly remembered a place, and immediately ordered Xiao Cui to drive to the Citizens' Religious Affairs Committee. The Ethnic and Religious Affairs Committee specializes in managing issues related to temples and ethnic minorities. I think they should know something about this.
.
When we were in the car, secretary Xiao Xu asked me: "Mayor Feng, why are you suddenly concerned about this matter?"
I replied: "Recently, Secretary Chen has given an instruction, requiring us in Shangjiang City to pay attention to the simultaneous development of economy and culture in the future. Although our city has a long history, it is difficult to find a place that can be used as a landmark.
Something. A city needs a business card. This business card is very important. It is just like a person’s title. For example, my title is Executive Vice Mayor. If I go to Beijing, I will take a business card like this.
If I come out, not many people will be interested in me, because there are too many high-ranking officials in places like Beijing. But it will be different if I am Zhao Zhongxiang or a famous actor. If this temple really exists, and it is really
If it is so famous in history, it would be extraordinary. It is not as simple as a temple. It will make our Shangjiang City famous very quickly, which will greatly and very quickly boost the economy of our city.
.Look at Shaolin Temple, Wudang Mountain, and other well-known temples and Taoist temples across the country. There is no need to say more about how much impact they have on local economic development and popularity, right? What we have to do now is to dig out our
Various local resources, especially cultural resources, are very important."
After arriving at the Ethnic and Religious Affairs Committee, I directly asked the director of the Ethnic and Religious Affairs Committee about this matter, and he replied: "I seem to have heard of this matter before, and the municipal affairs office seems to have called the provincial cultural relics bureau.
Report and request them to do archaeological excavations. But they were not interested, or maybe we were unwilling to pay, so the matter was shelved."
I feel very unhappy: these people are so insensitive to such an important matter. In the final analysis, this is the insensitivity of the cadres here to business opportunities and local history and culture. But it is impossible for me to show my inner unhappiness in this place, after all
This department is not under my jurisdiction. It is a unit under the Municipal ** Department, and the ** Minister is also a member of the Municipal Standing Committee.
I then asked: "Who in our city knows the most about this history?"
He shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. Mayor Feng, ask the Cultural Affairs Bureau, maybe they know."
I couldn’t help but smile bitterly in my heart: You are in charge of this area. Will the people in the Cultural Affairs Bureau understand things that you don’t even know about? Moreover, these people are in government agencies and have never cared about such things in depth, so they
Not knowing is not a surprising thing.
In the final analysis, this is a cultural gap, and there are many reasons for this gap.[
Some people believe that the fault line in Chinese culture began to appear after the May Fourth Movement, because the slogan of the May Fourth Movement was anti-imperialism, feudalism, and the promotion of democracy and science. At that time, people went to extremes and believed that all feudal
Everything is bad and should be abandoned, including our traditional culture. The "Cultural Revolution" caused another greater disaster to traditional culture, causing traditional culture to be diluted again in the land we live in.
I think these factors all exist, but I think modern society has a greater impact on Chinese culture, because people are becoming more and more impetuous, and many people have begun to accept Western culture, and at the same time, they have slowly abandoned our traditional culture.
.
Only the culture of the strong can conquer others, and if you want to be strong, you must have your own culture. The Mongols, Yuan, Manchu and Qing dynasties gave us a good warning when the Mongols entered the Central Plains, wore Han clothes, appreciated Han literature and art, and tasted Han culture
Family food, everything about China amazed this nomadic people, and they were gradually assimilated by Han culture, so the nomadic people with such powerful force were integrated by the Han people. The Manchus knew the power of culture and cut off the Chinese culture, which led to us Han people
Until now, they have failed to recover. Also, the Aryans entered India and fostered the Hindu caste system, which turned an ancient civilization into an Asan country. The Jews were able to recover after being exterminated for two thousand years. Doesn’t this all illustrate the importance of national culture?
Sexually? This is like species invasion. Nature itself is balanced, but if alien species are not restricted by local species, they will quickly occupy local resources. This is a big technical problem in the world, let alone cultural invasion.
.
Therefore, tolerance without China as the center means being conquered by others. How can a weak country be tolerant? Doesn’t all the current Westernization mean that we have been converted by the West? The failure of the Revolution of 1911 was that the Tartars were expelled, but China was
It has not recovered. Because of the historical limitations at that time, everything was Westernized, which has led to the fact that the Chinese people have not cheered up until now.
If China is not prosperous, we will always be the slaves of others. It is pitiful and sad that some people do not know it yet and blindly pursue the so-called "dawn of the West". In fact, they have no idea that they have fallen into the trap of others. Therefore, they do not establish national culture and accept foreigners.
Culture is being invaded. We are right to talk about tolerance, but the premise is that we can tolerate it. We must use our own culture to lead, and then slowly dissolve it and become part of ourselves. This is also the role of our traditional culture in the long history of
The reason why Chinese culture is so splendid is because Han culture has been growing, so it will not be destroyed or disappear. Time has also proven this. From a Western perspective, the beginning of world civilization, ancient Chinese civilization, and ancient Greek civilization
, ancient Egyptian civilization, ancient Babylonian civilization, ancient Indian civilization. Except for the Chinese civilization that still exists, other civilizations have all disappeared, which better reflects the advantages of the Chinese civilization. There is only one truth, and it can withstand
Tested, so Chinese culture is the culture of heaven. As descendants of ancestors who once had this civilization, we should be proud.
The cultural fault lines that have emerged today are already signaling the danger of our culture disappearing. This is something that should be paid special attention to by those in power.
The most frightening thing is the insensitivity and inaction of those in power on this issue.
However, there are still many people in power today who attach great importance to this issue, including Secretary Chen, including me... Therefore, I believe that Chinese culture will not die, because we still have countless people who are interested in Chinese culture.
Defender, advocate.
The numb need defenders and advocates to awaken and publicize. This is how our country’s traditional culture such as opera, Chinese painting, and calligraphy has been supported step by step over the years, as well as Chinese studies. CCTV’s Hundred Forums have also become popular for this reason.
Because its main content is the traditional culture of the motherland.
Therefore, I think it is the best idea to promote Shangjiang from the perspective of traditional culture, so as to enhance the cultural taste of the city and drive its economic development.
Secretary Chen's perspective on the problem is different, I have to admit this. Although I have some knowledge of this aspect and have reminded him, my level is much worse than his.
The bottom line is that the height at which you stand is different.
I left the Ethnic and Religious Affairs Committee. I was very dissatisfied with the people in charge of this department, but I also knew that these people were busy with the bureaucracy.
Leisure is a matter of a person's mentality towards people and things. People who are truly ambitious and really want to do things will never be idle. Leisure is a reason that people who are muddle along find for themselves.
But what I didn't expect was that as soon as I sat down in the office, I received a call from Minister **, "Mayor Feng, I heard that you just went to the Ethnic and Religious Affairs Committee? Haha! I don't mean anything else. It's the Ethnic Religious Affairs Committee.
The chairman of the committee told me that you asked him some questions and he felt that you were a little dissatisfied, so he reported it to me immediately."
I smiled and said, "I think they are in charge of religious affairs, so they may have known about my problem, but they didn't know either. I'm not dissatisfied, I just feel a little disappointed."
He smiled and said: "Mayor Feng, these people are used to being idle. There is not much work in this area in our city. These guys read newspapers and chat as soon as they go to work, and their minds are not focused on getting into work at all. Among them,
I also have a responsibility. They told me the question you asked. I know a person who is very knowledgeable about the history of our Shangjiang City. Mayor Feng, when are you free? Let's go meet this person together.
"
I was very happy at once, "Okay. It's OK now. Who is this person?"
He said: "He is a retired old comrade. He used to be a researcher at the Provincial Bureau of Culture. He is from Shangjiang and came back here after retirement. Now he is free at home and likes poetry and songs with us all day long.
People are entertaining themselves together, haha! He is really carefree and happy these days!"
I smiled and said, "Okay. Let's go right away. I'll get to your place first, and then we'll go together."
Then I told the driver, "Let's go out and prepare some cigarettes, wine, and some good tea in the car."
Minister ** is a middle-aged man in his late forties, not tall. It is said that he is also the secretary of a former local leader and is a teacher. He speaks slowly and always has a smile on his face.
After we met, he came to shake my hand and said, "Mayor Feng, I have always said that I would treat you to a meal, mainly because I thought you were too busy, but there will be more such opportunities in the future. You are paying attention to this matter, which means that
You want to take advantage of this area."[
I hurriedly said: "It's your business, Minister Wu, to pick up a piece of work. This time the municipal party committee issued a document on exploring the traditional culture of Shangjiang City. I am the deputy leader of the leading group, so I have to do some related work, right? From now on, I will
I still need more guidance from you, Minister Wu, on this matter."
He suddenly laughed, "Mayor Feng, you are too polite. Haha! Let's talk about these things slowly in the future. Let's go."
Then we got in the car separately. I found that he was also riding in a black Audi. I thought to myself: I didn't expect that a department like the ** department is not poor.
The old gentleman that Minister Wu mentioned lives in a courtyard on the outskirts of the city. This courtyard looks a bit old, but it is antique. I never thought that such a building still exists in this city.
An old lady came to open the door for us. The old lady was kind-hearted, and it was obvious that she knew Minister Wu. "Minister Wu, are you here? The old man is writing. You sit down for a while, and I will make tea for you."
Minister Wu immediately introduced me to her, "Auntie, this is Mayor Feng of our city. He made a special trip to visit Mr. Liu today."
I didn't bring a secretary with me today because I guess people who are idle at home don't like the behavior of officials. I bowed to the old lady politely and said, "Hello, Auntie." Then I handed her what I had in my hand.
He walked over and said, "This is my first time coming to your home. This is my little thought. Please accept it."
The old lady hurriedly said: "That's not possible. How can I accept the leader's things?"
I smiled and said, "What kind of leader am I? Today I came to ask the old man for advice. It's not anything good, just some tobacco, wine and tea. Please accept it, and I will come empty-handed next time."
At this time, an old man with white hair, a ruddy face, and a strong spirit appeared in front of us. He was wearing a white silk Tang suit. He smiled and said to the old lady: "Take it. Minister Wu brought it
Our guests are not outsiders."
The old lady took the thing from my hand. Minister Wu cupped his fists at the white-haired old man and said with a smile, "Old man, you are getting more and more energetic."
The old man laughed, "I am an old man. I sit around at home every day, drink some wine, practice calligraphy, chat with friends and so on. I live a life of worry, so of course I am in good spirits. Please, let's
Go over there and have tea."
The "over there" he was talking about was a pergola on one side of the courtyard, with grape vines overhead and a small number of grapes hanging there. There were several rattan chairs and pure wooden coffee tables in the pergola. After we sat down,
The old lady came to make tea for us.
Minister Wu introduced me to the old man, and I quickly stood up and bowed to him, "Old man, I may come to you often to ask questions in the future. Thank you in advance."
He laughed, "Okay, okay!" Then he came to look me over, "Mayor Feng, have you ever been a teacher before?"
I was suddenly surprised and hurriedly replied: "That's right. I used to work in the hospital affiliated to the Medical University, and I also taught clinical medicine classes to students. I also had to teach interns on weekdays. Master, how can you tell?
Have I ever been a teacher?”
He smiled and said: "Mayor Feng, this is very simple, because I feel that you have a bookish air. Some of the characteristics of a teacher. It's just a feeling. Xiao Wu also has such characteristics."
I immediately laughed and said, "So that's it. Old man, from now on you can just call me Xiao Feng, mayor or whatever, it's just a false name."
The old man immediately laughed and said, "Well, from now on I will call you Xiao Feng. In fact, I don't like calling other people's official titles at all, as that makes people feel that they are reporting to the leader."
Minister Wu and I both laughed.
Then Minister Wu said to him: "Old man, Mayor Feng came here specifically to ask you about a matter today. It is about a temple in our Shangjiang City."
The old man looked at me and said, "Oh? Xiao Feng, tell me, which temple do you want to ask about?... Wait, I understand, only that matter is worth your special trip.
Come to me, and few people have studied that temple. Xiao Feng, what you want to ask about is the legendary Longyin Temple that was destroyed in the late Ming Dynasty, right?"
I couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, "Old man, I really belong to you! You are right, I came here just for this matter."
He immediately went to Minister Wu and said: "Xiao Wu, I think you should learn from Xiao Feng in some aspects. I have been back to Shangjiang for so long, and he is the first municipal leader to ask me this question.
, even your directors have never cared about this matter. I heard that Shangjiang City is planning to start focusing on the cultural industry, and Xiao Feng has a very keen vision."
His words immediately shocked me. You must know that his words can easily cause Minister Wu to be dissatisfied with me. The old man is a Yehe Xianyun person, and he speaks too carelessly.
I hurriedly said: "Old man, don't say that. I only heard about this incident by chance, and a friend once talked about it to me, so I became very interested."
Minister Wu smiled and said: "That's right. Mayor Feng has a higher education than me, is more knowledgeable, and has an active mind. How can I compare? Mayor Feng, what I said is the truth, and I don't have any other meaning. Mr.
It's very casual with me, we have been friends for many years, so don't worry that I will be unhappy or something."
I smiled and said: "I know how many things are in my belly. In terms of personal experience and work experience, I am far behind you. But I have only been here not long ago, and I am just very interested in things that I don't understand."
That’s all.”
The old man laughed "haha", "You don't need to praise each other, and there is no need to explain anything. I know Xiao Wu, he is not that kind of person. Although today is the first time for me to contact Xiao Feng,
But I can see that you are not that kind of person. You know, there are some things in your bones that cannot be concealed. Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore, then let me talk about this temple.”
Minister Wu looked at the time and then said: "Old man, why don't we go out to eat and talk while we eat."
The old man immediately waved his hand and said: "No need. If you don't mind, you can eat at my place. I'll ask the old woman to cook some bacon or something. Xiao Feng seems to have brought wine, so let's drink Xiao Feng's wine.
"
Then he stood up and walked inside, leaving us no room to talk at all.
Minister Wu smiled bitterly at me, "This old man has such a temper."
I smiled and said, "I like his temper very much. When I was working in the provincial recruitment office, I often hung out with an old comrade who retired, and he also had the same temper. Minister Wu, this courtyard is nice.
, he rented it?”
He shook his head and said: "This is the property left by his ancestors. It was expropriated by the government during the Cultural Revolution. Later, it was returned to him after the policy was implemented. His children are all in other places, and the old man does not want to live with them.
So I came back to live on my own after retirement."
I said sincerely: "It's great. Such a life is the most enviable. A courtyard, a cup of tea, a book, you can go wherever you want. It seems impossible for you and me to enjoy this in our lives.
Live."
He smiled and said: "Yeah. Let's not think about it."
Just as he was talking, the old man came back and said: "Don't leave. The old woman has already started cooking. I asked your two drivers to go back first. In such a small city, why do you have to take a car?
If you sit in an office for a long time, you should walk more and exercise."
Minister Wu immediately laughed, "Old man, I really belong to you!" Then he looked at me and smiled, "Mayor Feng, let's go back in a while."
I also laughed, "Okay. Let's just listen to the old man. Walking is good for the body."
In fact, I know that there is another layer of criticism in the old man’s words: taking the driver and car with him when traveling is too official. But since he didn’t say it clearly, we just said "haha"
It passed perfunctorily.
Then the old man started talking about the temple.
"According to the data analysis I reviewed, that temple was actually burned down during the Yongle period, not the late Ming Dynasty." His first sentence said.
I was very surprised, "Old man, I read some information today. Those information said that it was burned by one of Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates in the late Ming Dynasty?"
He shook his head and said: "These are actually two legends. You are talking about one. This legend tells that Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates drew a lot and burned the temple in anger, and also killed people inside the temple.
Everyone. This statement comes from the historical rumors about Zhang Xianzhong’s cruelty. I have already studied the related issues of this rumor. At present, folklore and many historical records say that Zhang Xianzhong is a murderer who led the Daxi Rebel Army in Sichuan
During this period, tens of millions of people were killed, which led to Huguang filling up Sichuan during the Qing Dynasty. However, after research, I found that most of these historical materials come from the official history of the Qing Dynasty, and they have a serious tendency to slander."
He spoke very vividly and had sufficient arguments. Minister Wu and I couldn't help but sigh after listening to it.
The old man added: "I have also checked the information, which fully shows that the legendary subordinate of Zhang Xianzhong has never been to our Jiangnan Province at all. Therefore, this rumor should also be a rumor of the rulers of the Qing Dynasty."
Already."
I nodded and said: "Then, you mean that this temple existed in the first place, but it was burned down not in the late Ming Dynasty but in the early Ming Dynasty. Is that right?"
He said: "That's true. However, the decline of this temple took a long time, so that only now there is no trace left in that place."
I suddenly became interested again, "So, what do you think is the most likely reason why this temple was burned down?"
He replied: "After Zhu Yuanzhang died, the throne was passed to his grandson Zhu Yun, who is also the Jianwen Emperor recorded in history. Later, Zhu Yun's uncle Zhu Di successfully rebelled, and Zhu Yun's whereabouts are unknown..."
I seemed to understand all of a sudden, "You mean, this temple is actually Zhu Yun's hiding place? But the whereabouts of Zhu Yun is still a mystery until now, and according to historical records, the temple's incense at that time was
It's very exuberant, which is not very logical."
He said: "According to Gu Yingtai's record in "The Chronicles of Ming Dynasty": When the Yan army broke into the city, Zhu Yun was about to draw his sword and commit suicide. Wang Yue, the young eunuch, stopped him and said: Your Majesty, please do not commit suicide. Before Taizu died, he
There was a box left, and he said, "If your descendants are in trouble, you can open the box and see if you can find a way." Zhu Yun immediately ordered Wang Yue to take the box. After a while, four eunuchs carried a box into the palace.
It was wrapped in iron sheets, and the heart of the chain was also filled with pig iron. Wang Yue took the iron cone and knocked open the box. There were three certificates hidden inside, as well as cassocks, monks' hats, shoes and other items, as well as a razor handle, ten ingots of silver, and
A piece of paper said: Yun left from the ghost gate, and the rest of the people left from Shuiguan Yugou. In the evening, he could gather his energy and look forward to the west room. Zhu Yun sighed and said: This is destiny, what else can be said? The eunuch immediately took it out
He shaved Zhu Yun's hair with a razor. Zhu Yun took off his clothes, put on his cassock, and hid the ultimatum. On the other hand, he ordered to set fire to the palace. Suddenly the fire was blazing, burning the magnificent palace to ashes. Queen Ma Shi committed suicide by throwing herself into the fire, and her concubines
Most of them were burned to death. Zhu Yun cried bitterly and ran away. The Ghost Gate is inside the Taiping Gate. It is a short gate in the inner city. It only allows one person to enter and exit, and it leads to the waterway. Zhu Yun went out first, and the others filed out. It was just outside the door.
There was a small boat, and there was a Taoist priest in the boat. He called Zhu Yun to board the boat and kowtowed to say long live the boat. The Taoist priest said: I dreamed of Emperor Gao last night, and ordered his ministers to come here to wait. The exiles then took the boat and left. This is a very bizarre legend.
, is widely circulated. Today, there are many ruins and legends about Zhu Yun in several southwestern provinces. It is said that when Zhu Yun took refuge in Jinzhu, Guizhou, which is now Guangshun, Guizhou, he also wrote a poem: Fengchen Yi
Suddenly the south invades at night, and the destiny of heaven sneaks into the hearts of the four seas. The phoenix returns to the Danshan Mountain, the red sun is far away, and the dragon returns to the blue sea and the deep blue clouds. The purple sky is like a star, and the jade leaks and the water sinks. I think of the forbidden city tonight, and the six palaces still look at the green flowers.
Pro. I think this poem is quite consistent with Zhu Yun's identity. Although it was not confirmed whether Zhu Yun really lived in exile in the southwest area, his whereabouts eventually became an unsolved case, and no one was sure whether he was really burned to death. Later,
Zhu Di found two corpses in the fire and buried them as Zhu Yun and Queen Ma, but in fact, deep down in his heart, he was also very suspicious of Zhu Yun's death. Zhu Di once sent Hu Ke to help Hu Zhongzhong, who was acquainted with the matter.
In the name of searching for Wudang Taoist Zhang Sanfeng, Zhu Xiang, Zhu Yun's internal servant, visited various states, counties, townships, and towns by land to inquire about Zhu Yun's whereabouts. In the second year of Yongle, there were rumors that Zhu Yun had fled overseas, and Zhu Di returned
He sent his trusted eunuch Zheng He to lead his troops across the sea and patrol the Western Ocean. This was the famous "Zheng He's Voyage to the Western Seas" in history, but Zhu Yun's whereabouts was not found. In the 21st year of Yongle, Hu Hu, who had been wandering outside for more than ten years,
Suddenly rushed back to Beijing. At this time, Zhu Di was stationed in Xuanfu. When Hu rushed to Xuanfu, it was already late at night, and Zhu Di had already gone to bed. When he heard that Hu was coming back, he immediately approved his clothes and saw him. The monarch and his ministers kept talking secretly.
Fourth update. "History of the Ming Dynasty" records: Before he arrived, it was rumored that Jianwen had crossed the sea. The emperor sent his minister Zheng He to sail to the Western Ocean for several generations, and the doubts were finally solved. From this conclusion, it is obvious that Hu has found out the exact information about Zhu Yun.
Moreover, after many years, Zhu Yun no longer had any idea or possibility of competing for the throne. Since then, Zhu Di no longer pursued Zhu Yun's traces. There are also records that Zhu Yun, who was sixty-four years old, was later discovered and arrested.
In order to distinguish the authenticity, Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty asked Wu Liang, an old eunuch who had served Zhu Yun, to come out for identification. There was a black mole on Zhu Yun's left toe. Wu Liang checked it and it was true, so he held Zhu Yun's foot and cried.
When he got up, Zhu Yun was welcomed into the palace and lived there until his death. In October of the second year of Wanli, Zhu Yijun, the 12-year-old Ming Shenzong, suddenly asked Zhang Juzheng, the chief minister, about the whereabouts of Zhu Yun. Zhang Juzheng replied at that time: It is not recorded in the history of the country.
This matter was passed down by old people from the previous dynasty. When Emperor Jingnan entered the city, Emperor Yan Jianwen shaved off his hair and put on his clothes, walked out from the side roads, and then traveled around. It can be seen that Zhang Juzheng also believed that Zhu Yun was not burned to death, but escaped.
.Because it has been a long time, the issue of Zhu Yun's restoration that Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, was worried about at the time no longer exists. Even Ming Shenzong openly asked the question, which shows that it was no longer a taboo at that time. Nowadays, many historians in the country are studying this historical event. I
It is also one of them. According to the results of my research, I believe that Zhu Yun should have gone to Yunnan and Guizhou after escaping from Nanjing. Our Jiangnan Province borders Yunnan and Guizhou, so he and others may have been here, or even hidden in our
In the temple in Shangjiang, the ruins and legends discovered in Yunnan and Guizhou should be true, but those places are just one of Zhu Yun's strongholds. After all, he believed that he was the orthodox emperor and was not willing to accept it.
His own failure, so it’s not surprising that he wants to dream of a comeback.”
Then he took a sip of tea and continued: "Emperor Jianwen disguised himself as a monk after running out of Nanjing. He wanted to recruit troops without attracting the attention of the government. What do you think is the best way? That is to build a temple
It became very popular, and many bizarre rumors were added. The people at that time were superstitious, so of course they flocked to it. However, the government still found that something was wrong, so they investigated secretly, and finally discovered the problem, so
The temple was finally burned down. Of course, Emperor Jianwen might have gotten the news and fled."
I said, "Did the name of this temple attract the attention of the government? Longyin Temple means that the emperor hides here."
But the old man shook his head and said: "That's not true. This temple used to be called Cliff Temple. After it was burned down for many years, someone rebuilt it, and that's when it was named Longyin Temple. This also shows that the people who rebuilt the temple knew that they lived there at that time.
Who was the person inside? However, the affairs of Emperor Jianwen were, after all, a very taboo matter for the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, so the temple slowly declined, or it was forcibly demolished by the government. That's right.
Because of this, now we can't see any traces there."
Minister Wu said: "Old man, what you said sounds logical, but after all, there is no evidence that that is where Emperor Jianwen once lived?"
The old man nodded and said: "Yes. So I published several papers on this, but the results did not attract much attention. I have been back to Shangjiang for several years and have been studying this matter, but until now I still haven't found anything.
progress."
I smiled and said, "That's enough. Thank you, old man. We will find a way to rebuild this temple, and the story you told us today will also become a very important publicity point for this temple in the future."
The old man looked at me in astonishment, "Rebuilding? What's the point of doing this?"
I smiled and said: "Nowadays, tourism in many places is using the ancients as a sign. Hubei Province is dominated by the Three Kingdoms culture, and Shandong Province is based on the Water Margin culture. Why can't our Shangjiang City use the Jianwen Emperor as a sign?"
The old man was even more stunned, "However, these things have not been confirmed, they are just legends."
I laughed and said: "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is just a novel, and many of the stories in it are fabricated. Not to mention the Water Margin. As long as people are familiar with that period of history, it will be fine. Although the legend is not true, it is
The Chinese culture contained in these legends is very profound. How many of the stories in our dramas and movies are true? The spirit conveyed in them is the most important. Master, do you think so?"
He immediately put his hands on his hands and smiled, "That makes sense! We will finally have a cultural attraction in Shangjiang City from now on."
Minister Wu sighed and said: "Mayor Feng, I really need to learn more from you in the future. It turns out that your purpose is here. This is really a good card."
I said: "Minister Wu, I will contact the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau as soon as possible and ask them to send an archaeological team to excavate and inspect the place. Then we will start thinking about reconstruction. You are in charge of this area, and the next thing is
It’s yours.”
