Chapter 423: Grandpa Taizu's approval, what the hell is the one-armed nun



A Chinese Ghost Story: The Forbidden City

"Ajiu pays homage to Grandpa Taizu."

After hearing what Lin Xuan said, Ah Jiu straightened his clothes, bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang Yingying, and offered tea: "I never thought that Xiao Jiu would see his ancestor in person one day."

I haven't seen her for two years. The little girl is in her twenties, and her youthfulness has faded.

The aura of a true dragon is vaguely visible in every movement of her hands and feet, exuding the majesty of an empress dominating the world.

Among the planes of heaven that Lin Xuan traveled through, only Huang Rong, Ajiu and Zhao Ling'er had similar status as empresses.

However, this girl Zhao Ling'er was quite repulsive to the title of "Empress". She was only willing to lead the Miao people as "Miss Holy Spirit", and she mainly cooperated with the Tang Dynasty.

After this calculation, there are only two serious empresses left.

In terms of looks, Ah Jiu and Huang Rong have their own merits, it's hard to say which one is better.

But in terms of temperament, this royal goddess is still much more reliable than the grass-headed emperor Huang Rong...

It is more in line with Lin Xuan's stereotype of the stunning beauty queen in online articles.

"I heard Emperor Lin tell you about your matter. Get up."

"Hey, I've encountered so many useless things these days. It's rare to find one that's okay."

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment, then reached out to take the tea: "You are a good girl, even if you look like one of the best among our Zhu family."

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, society gradually became turbulent. In order to strengthen the imperial power, the Zhu family stated that they were the true masters of destiny.

A lot of weird characters were added to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"The Complete Collection of Divine Appearances" describes: "Those who are in the shape of a dragon have a high nose and a stern appearance."

There are also special examples: Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty had a dragon-like face, and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty had a dragon posture and horns, which was the appearance of an emperor.

As a result, after the Jiajing period, a large number of folk records and paintings appeared about Emperor Taizu's "majestic and majestic appearance, with deep eyes and long cheeks".

Zhu Yuanzhang in the strange appearance has a crescent-shaped face and a sinister and strange appearance, which is known as the "dragon face".

Well, that's the widely circulated, extremely abstract shoehorn face...

Lao Zhu was very angry when he saw it, but he didn't know who to settle the score with, so he could only feel angry secretly.

But having said that, although Lao Zhu doesn't look that abstract, he is just handsome and powerful.

As for Ah Jiu, he belongs to the class that has ruined the country and brought disaster to the people. Maybe it is the product of genetic mutation and cannot be mass-produced at all.

Lao Zhu couldn't help but feel a little proud.

He is worthy of being his own descendant.

"Grandpa Zu's words clearly indicate a turning point."

Ah Jiu was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "Does Grandpa Zu plan to reprimand Xiao Jiu later?"

"Not to mention reprimanding, you, the emperor, have done a pretty good job."

"I have asked the people and found out about the mess your father left behind. It also coincided with a natural disaster and countless people were displaced."

"When I heard this, I thought of the great famine in Huaibei in the fourth year of Zhengzheng. After that, misfortunes never come singly, and another plague broke out."

"I...hey, four people died in our family in seven days..., only me and my second brother Zhu Chongliu are left..."

"Later, we found an opportunity and went to the temple to become a monk. If we became a monk later, we would starve to death, so we had no choice but to rebel and barely survive."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "As long as we had enough to eat, we would not have rebelled."

"Actually, it's not that difficult here at Xiaojiu..."

"At that time, the common people could not survive, but the nobles, landlords and wealthy people were all living well."

Ah Jiu shrugged: "A Jiu looked at this tragic situation, after much deliberation, he listened to the advice of Brother Lin and the master, and simply did the opposite."

"Um?"

"If the rebel soldiers remonstrate with us, all the princes in the Manchu Dynasty will be our enemies. Xiaojiu can kill them, raise money and food, and make up for the national destiny."

"This is the only way that the soldiers can save the capital without having to fight on an empty stomach."

Ah Jiu smiled and said: "Although this method is somewhat unethical, it is better to use corrupt officials' money to help the people than to starve to death."

"Well, in all dynasties, if the court loses the support of the people, it is a real sign of the country's demise."

"But as a princess, you can actually understand this. Your willingness to rebel for the sake of the common people is indeed beyond my expectation."

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "When it comes to upholding the integrity of the country, you, as the 'empress', can be said to have taken the right position."

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint sound of dragon roar could be heard behind Ah Jiu.

Then, the purple energy rose up and turned into the shape of a dragon and a phoenix, looming.

"Thank you, Grandpa!"

Ah Jiu felt something in her heart, her pretty face showed joy, and she bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang again.

When she rebelled, her chief military advisor was the famous Yao Guangxiao.

The process of gaining the throne is somewhat similar to that of Zhu Di, the founder.

The whole style of painting is somewhat difficult to describe in one word.

It’s okay to talk about rebellion, it’s okay to talk about usurping the throne, there are many articles that can be written in it...

Even among the people, there are quite a lot of random rumors, which are not popular at all.

In other words: This status as empress was actually achieved by her hard work of conquering the country and fighting in the north and south.

Even now, people's hearts are still a little loose, and the emperor's energy cannot be completely condensed.

But Lao Zhu's words were equivalent to an endorsement in the name of Emperor Hongwu, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, and personally acknowledged her identity as empress.

As soon as the words are spoken, the destiny will change instantly.

Ah Jiu was surprised and happy.

"Don't thank us. We were a little disapproving when we heard that a woman became emperor. We thought you were the second Wu Zetian."

"When we came here, we were still thinking that if you were so unreliable, we would try our best to fall out with Emperor Lin and find a good emperor for the people."

"So, it's mainly because you did a good job yourself, that's why we said what we just said."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said: "You are a good girl. But it's a pity. Why do you have to be a girl?"

"Ah? What's wrong with girls?"

"There's nothing wrong with being a girl, but it's a little different when a woman becomes an emperor..."

Zhu Yuanzhang let out a sullen breath: "That's all for now, but who do you plan to pass the throne to in the future? Don't endanger the country like Wu Zetian did in the past."

"Men and women are destined at birth, and there's nothing Xiaojiu can do about it."

Ah Jiu stuck out her tongue: "Xiao Jiu doesn't know who to pass it on to, but Xiao Jiu is only twenty years old and has just become emperor. He can still be emperor for many years. There must be a solution, right?"

"How can there be such an easy solution..."

"Not to mention whether you can give birth to a prince, or whether the prince is still a descendant of the Zhu family."

"Just talking about when you give birth to a child, who will handle the affairs of the family and the country?"

"If the child dies young, or if those princes and princesses fail, how many more children can you have? Do you have any alternatives?"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said: "Ordinary emperors only need to accept concubines and work hard, but you, the empress, have many things to consider."

"Ah... Grandpa Taizu makes sense, but Xiaojiu is still young and has never considered having children at all..."

Ah Jiu's pretty face turned red: "So, Xiao Jiu is indeed not a good emperor."

"Life lasts only a hundred years, it goes by in a blink of an eye. And I remember that when a girl gets older, it will be difficult to get pregnant again..."

Zhu Yuanzhang blinked: "Some things should be considered early. If you meet a suitable man, just marry him."

"A suitable man?"

Ah Jiu was stunned for a moment again, then asked Ai Ai: "What if someone else has a wife? Will Xiao Jiu offend the gods if he sticks to her like this?"

"Have a wife? It's not a bad idea for a man to have more wives."

"I have never been a womanizer, and I have taken more than twenty concubines."

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment: "However, I am not a god. I can't understand the thoughts of gods, and I have to ask other people's plans. It cannot be just our wishful thinking in the end."

"Then Xiaojiu will ask that person later..."

"Well, life is short. When Emperor Lin lent me the mirror, every time I saw the girl..., well, when Xiuying passed away, we always felt that there were a lot of things that we didn't say to her."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "So, if you have anything to say, just say it quickly. There will be no store like this after passing this village."

Ah Jiu: "..."

"Okay, Lao Zhu, let's talk about what's going on, don't make any random moves..."

The more Lin Xuan listened, the more something was wrong. He shook his head and said: "Business matters, don't think about it."

"Business? Isn't this business?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was startled: "I said that birth, old age, illness and death are the normal state of life. Don't you think so, Emperor?"

"Your Majesty is about to become the master of Kanshui Pagoda. Just in case, I have also crossed out your Majesty's name from the book of life and death."

Lin Xuan waved his hand: "If your Majesty still insists on talking about normalcy, then it will be unless your Majesty does not admit that he is a human being."

"When I saw Xiaojiu like this, I felt a little emotional just now. I actually forgot that Xiaojiu can still serve as the tower master."

"With the emperor's ability, if you serve as the master of the tower, you will indeed not have to worry about birth, old age, illness and death for the time being..."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with dismay, "That's fine. I'll trouble you to give Xiaojiu a try."

"Tower Master?"

Ah Jiu was stunned for a moment: "What tower master?"

"I have obtained a magic weapon, and I must build eight wonder sub-towers to attract the stars in the sky, gather the destiny of all people, and suppress my human enemies."

"And I have some suspicions that this tower should be the key to reversing the Great Tribulation of the Gods."

After Lin Xuan explained what happened, he took out the crystal clear Duize Bead from his sleeve: "This world is Dui Gua, Dui is Ze, and it belongs to Yin. We need a woman to be the tower master. Xiaojiu, give it a try."

"Is that so?"

Ah Jiu nervously took the Dui Ze Bead and activated the spiritual energy taught by Lao Zhang.

Under the agitation of spiritual power, the Duize Pearl shone with extremely bright white light, illuminating the entire hall.

"Well, it's not bad."

Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied: "Although it is not as good as me, and it is hard to say who is better than the fourth child, my other descendants may not have this ability."

"After all, Xiaojiu conquered the country and became the emperor by himself. It is normal for the emperor's spirit to be stronger than those of the guardians."

Lin Xuan smiled and said: "Besides, most of His Majesty's descendants are not very good at maintaining their integrity."

"Hey, let's not talk about this anymore. It's all over anyway..."

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little embarrassed: "Ajiu, you should be an emperor properly and don't listen to this nonsense."

"Yes! Xiaojiu understands."

Ah Jiu bit her lower lip: "If Xiao Jiu becomes the master of the tower, can he become an immortal official and follow Emperor Lin forever?"

"Theoretically, that's the case, but as an empress, you probably can't also serve as an immortal official."

Lin Xuan muttered: "Empress Houtu has hinted that emperors on earth cannot live forever. So now it is just a plan to retain power. When the overall situation is decided, you two can think about it again."

"That makes no sense."

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little dissatisfied: "I think the Jade Emperor is also a god. Why can he be the Emperor of Heaven forever for eternity?"

"Because the Jade Emperor is in charge of the gods, and the gods are immortal."

"And His Majesty is the emperor on earth, and he is in charge of the common people who are subject to birth, old age, illness and death."

Lin Xuan smiled and said: "Although we are all emperors, there are still some differences between humans and immortals."

"Okay, that makes sense..."

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment: "Can I ask, how many immortal officials does the emperor have?"

"Although in other worlds, there are mortals who will enjoy immortality and immortality due to fate."

"But this kind of thing is still a bit overwhelming. The number of people must be controlled."

Lin Xuan thought for a while: "I plan to appoint a tower owner for each tower, and then arrange for two deputy tower owners to perform daily management and maintenance of it. The corresponding tower owner will make the appointment. Only three people in a plane have this privilege. It’s not too much.”

"Is that so?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up: "Can I appoint Xiuying and Biao'er as deputy tower masters? When I am seventy years old, I will pass on the throne with peace of mind. If the fourth child wants to be the emperor, let him do it."

"This should be possible, but now that the tower has not been built, it is a bit premature to appoint a deputy tower master."

Lin Xuan nodded and said: "Besides, Your Majesty is now in the prime of life. Let's weigh it slowly when we go back..."

"That's fine!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts moved slightly: "Xiao Jiu, this Tower Bowen said that despite all the changes of nature, ordinary people may not have the ability to build towers. Do you have any talents here? Do you want me to lend you some?"

"Xiaojiu recently appointed Mr. Song Yingxing, Mr. Song, as Minister of the Ministry of Industry. There is also a copy of "Tiangong Kaiwu" written by him on the desk. I think he is very capable."

Ah Jiu hesitated and said: "Although Mr. Qingtian is well versed in hundreds of schools of thought, and his knowledge of Xiangwei is unparalleled in the world. But when it comes to the art of building towers, he may not be as good as Mr. Song, right?"

"Huh? Song Yingxing?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Lin Xuan: "Is this person very powerful?"

"Xiao Jiu is right. Mr. Song and Mr. Qingtian should have their own strengths."

"With Mr. Song presiding over it, you can rest assured."

Lin Xuan took out the Self-Looking Mirror from his sleeve and handed it to Ah Jiu: "Since Xiaojiu has agreed to be the tower master, let's go and take a look at the Self-Looking Mirror."

"Oh, okay."

Ah Jiu took a deep breath and stared at the mirror suspended in mid-air, her expression constantly changing.

"It should take a while."

Zhu Yuanzhang walked slowly to Ah Jiu's desk, found "Tiangong Kaiwu", and started flipping through it: "Huh? This book is quite practical."

"It is indeed a strange book. Your Majesty should definitely take a copy back and spread it around."

Lin Xuan nodded: "This book covers a wide range of technical categories and should be considered unparalleled in the past hundred years. It is quite useful to your Majesty's Ming Dynasty."

During the Qianlong period of later generations, the Siku Museum was set up to compile the "Sikuquanshu", and censored books across the country in the name of compilation.

Then I discovered that there were anti-Qing descriptions such as "Northern Barbarians" and "Northeast Barbarians" in the book, and there were even illustrations of Ming Dynasty defenders throwing firearms and blowing up the Qing army to pieces...

Therefore, it was designated as a banned book, and it was never republished in the Qing Dynasty.

During the Republic of China, this book could not be found in the whole country. It had to be imported from Japan and then printed and published.

It is a bit outrageous that such a large encyclopedia of agriculture and handicrafts could be banned for hundreds of years by the establishment of a literary inquisition.

"That's what the emperor said."

Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled: "When Xiaojiu wakes up, I will ask her for a set, and I will go back and let Haosheng from the Ministry of Industry study it."

"Xiaojiu is already awake..."

At this moment, Ah Jiu let out a sullen breath and said quietly: "Xiao Jiu is very tired, let her take a breather..." As for this book, there are still a lot of them printed. If grandpa wants it, just take it. "

"Thank you very much, Xiaojiu."

Zhu Yuanzhang asked suspiciously: "What did you see? Why do you feel so strange?"

"It's nothing, I just feel a little unworthy."

Ah Jiu said dullly: "Why did my father basically cut off my arm in the end in the world of heavens?"

"Because history books are like this, and they should always conform to history..."

Lin Xuan comforted him: "Isn't your hand fine now?"

"It's probably thanks to meeting the Emperor and Sister Ao, otherwise I would have become one-armed... Hey, it's just one-armed, why should I become an old nun even if I survive?"

"I met a few 'others', and I won't talk about the ones who died in depression after the country was overthrown."

"Once, I practiced unparalleled martial arts and founded the Mangshan Sect. The Xuannv Sword Technique that I created in my later years is also world-famous and can compete with the Tianshan Sword Technique."

"I have eight apprentices there, and the world respects them as the 'Eight Heroes of Jiangnan'. Among them, the eldest one is Laoyin, the fifth one is Bai Taiguan, the last one is Qiganfengchi, and the eighth one is Lu Siniang. They are all quite good, but I always feel that they are not very good. willingly.”

Ah Jiu looked depressed: "Every time the Ming Dynasty dies, I become an old nun, and my life is very boring."

"That's the 'One-Armed Divine Nun', and he can be regarded as an upright grandmaster."

"Actually, I feel that even if I become an old nun, I won't be that powerful, but others are even weaker. I am the taller among the short ones and have become a great master."

"Strength depends on the plane. The previous Pudu Cihang was considered a top expert, but if he goes to the Conferred God plane, he won't even be considered a bastard."

Lin Xuan explained: "If you think the one-armed nun is not good, it's because the strength here is too high. Under normal circumstances, the nun is quite powerful."

"By the way! Another time, I accepted a little slicker as my apprentice. In the end, he somehow found a powerful wife and became the best master in the world."

"Your little sly disciple? Oh, I roughly know who he is."

Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment: "He is the best master in the world? So abstract?"

"In fact, he was quite weak. Even Oboi was much stronger than him."

"As for martial arts, he said that he learned it from sleeping..."

Ajiu spread his hands: "Don't ask me, I don't know what's going on. And the one-armed nun is not welcome? It's miserable to hear this nickname."

"If the Ming Dynasty falls, the princess of the previous dynasty will be miserable."

Lin Xuan comforted: "But you are the empress, you have walked a different path, and you have turned the sad story into a happy story."

"Brother Lin's description is quite subtle..."

Ajiu thought about it, tilted his head and smiled: "Actually, it's good. Reading those things really tempers my character. Xiaojiu now needs to eat big fish and meat and draw a clear line with the old nun."

"This The empress has the final say. "

Lin Xuan laughed and said, "I still have some things to do, so I'll take my leave now. When the Duize Tower is completed, I will bring the old monk and Zhang Zhenren to take a look. Then you can call Xiaoqian and let's get together. "

"Okay! Xiaojiu understands."

Ajiu hesitated and said faintly, "Xiaojiu can have what he has today, in fact, he can't do without Brother Lin. After the Conferred God Killing Tribulation is over, Brother Lin will come again. "

"Are you so optimistic about me?"

"Everyone has worked so hard and paid so much, we should win in the end, right? "

"Okay, I promise you."

Lin Xuan glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang who was thinking about something: "Thank you for your hard work this time, I will send your majesty back. Your majesty has just established a country over there, and there are many things to be rebuilt, so don't take it too lightly. "

"Okay, it's time to go back. "

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "By the way, I also think we can win. "
