Unofficial History of Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty

At such a time, maybe it is time to recall some past events, but I feel that there is nothing to miss, except this enemy in my arms.If he could exchange his own life for his life at this time, he would definitely not hesitate.But they had to go to Huangquan together, and they died so tragically.

Just as he was thinking, he was pushed by the water to those red pythons. Those golden eyes showed bloodthirsty greed. They looked at Jiang Bin and Emperor Zhengde together, bowed their bodies, and were about to jump up and bite them apart. .

Just at this time, I suddenly heard the sound of a piano.The torrent of water suddenly stopped, then turned sharply, and fell back to the lake with a "swoosh", splashing countless water splashes several feet high, and then returned to calm, no longer the terrifying appearance just now.

Jiang Bin and Emperor Zhengde were shot to the shore by the huge momentum. After coughing violently, they felt as if their bodies fell apart. They supported each other and looked back. They saw a bright star in the sky, and the silver light emitted turned into Yingfei. Yan Wu, pounced on those giant pythons, blinded her eyes, pulled out her scales, and pierced her bones.For a moment, blood froth flew everywhere, and the skin was torn apart.Those monsters screamed and rolled, and gradually turned into a cloud of red mist, which dispersed when the wind blew.

At this time, the star gradually restrained its light and returned to its usual appearance.The moon was so peaceful with few stars, as if this disaster had never happened before.The countless armors, broken steps and white bones floating on the lake still tell the story of this unspeakable nightmare.

In the center of the lake, a giant red-scaled python was tightly wrapped around an icy body, drifting and falling asleep.

Jiang Bin, who was still in shock, spat out the water-preventing beads in his hands, and was about to say something when he heard the sound of horseshoes not far away.Jiang Bin hurriedly endured the discomfort of the displacement of internal organs, climbed to a high place and shouted loudly.

When Wang Xun and Zhang Rui, who were walking ahead, heard Jiang Bin's voice, they hurried over with their people.Originally, Wang Xun, Wang Shouren, Zhang Rui, and Wu Wending had all gone far away in four groups, but they saw the golden light on Poyang Lake in the distance, and then there was a scene of "dragon sucking water". The strange thing is that the thundercloud was just The extremely low ball is as bright as a lotus flower, but it is burning red, which is weird no matter how you look at it.Worried about Emperor Zhengde's safety, several people sent soldiers to discuss and come back to have a look.Halfway there, I saw the stars shining brightly, making the night as bright as day, and after a while, the dragon sucking water and the thundercloud disappeared.

The soldiers had never seen such a celestial phenomenon, they all said it was God's manifestation, many of them immediately knelt and kowtowed, and were reprimanded by several generals before they gave up.

The four teams approached the shore, but they saw a place that was still lush and green just now, and now there is nothing left. They found Emperor Zhengde and Jiang Bin, but they saw stumps, broken arms and unknown people floating on the river. A giant python alive and dead is really weird.

"Take someone to find Qiao Shangshu and see if there are still alive." Emperor Zhengde ordered with difficulty as he was leaning against a crooked tree root.

Wang Shouren and Wu Wending led the troops.

Zhang Rui leaned over to check the injuries of Emperor Zhengde and Jiang Bin. Both of them looked embarrassed with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes. Their external injuries were fine, but they didn't know if their internal organs were injured, so they ordered soldiers to find chariots and horses.

Wang Xun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the two of them were safe, and looked back at the giant python in the lake, and asked Jiang Bin in a low voice, "What kind of monster is that?"

Emperor Zhengde listened, smiled wryly and said, "Don't care what it is, just scoop up the prince carefully."

Although Wang Xun was surprised when he heard this, he didn't ask any more questions. He took a team of people to find a boat and crossed into the water to retrieve King Ning's body.The strange thing is that even though the giant python was dead, it was entangled with Zhu Chenhao with great force, some of them bravely raised their knives and dived into the water to chop, but the red scales all over their body were like golden threads, Although it is soft, it can't be broken by any means. When I dive into the water, it has claws.

Wang Xun was helpless, so he went back to the shore and reported to Emperor Zhengde who had entered the carriage.Emperor Zhengde leaned on Jiang Bin's leg and looked at the chandelier hanging on the top. After a while, he sighed and said, "Go to Ruihong Town and find some Taoist priests!"

Wang Xun took the order and went, but he was a little muttering in his heart.None of today's events is in accordance with common sense.

Emperor Zhengde didn't leave either, and took a nap on Jiang Bin's leg for a while. When he woke up, Wang Xun was waiting outside with two terrified Taoist priests.Of the two Taoist priests, one is a white-haired man, and the other is still a childish boy. This Ruihong Town is a small town, and there is only one Taoist temple. On weekdays, I only see a few officials, but I was woken up by knocking on the door tonight. , but to see the emperor.

Emperor Zhengde didn't say much, and asked the two to see what kind of monster the giant python in the lake was.The little Taoist priest had never seen this scene before, so he was so frightened that he couldn't speak.The old Taoist held Fuchen and pinched his fingers, but his face turned pale with shock, and hurriedly reported back: "My Majesty, that is not a monster, but a dragon."

Jiaolong?

Emperor Zhengde and Jiang Bin looked at each other and listened to the Arabian Nights.

"Is it still alive? How can it make waves and hurt people?"

The old Taoist didn't know the cause and effect, so he just said respectfully: "With this appearance, he must have become a fairy, and he will definitely not hurt people for no reason... Now, it's just because he lost his consciousness and didn't wake up."

Emperor Zhengde nodded, let the old Taoist retreat first, and said to Jiang Bin, "What do you say?"

Jiang Bin seemed to be able to smell the bloody smell and the rotten smell of the corpse, and frowned, "It's just a coincidence that Doctor Wu came back. If he was really transformed by that dragon, I'm afraid this was planned. I just don't know what happened." What's wrong, they didn't fulfill their wishes after all."

Emperor Zhengde nodded with a wry smile and said, "Let the Taoist priest take everything he can think of first!"

Then the old Taoist asked the little Taoist to go back to get some magic tools, borrowed a small boat, and went to the edge of the dragon. The little Taoist knelt beside him and beat the wooden drum. The old Taoist drew a line on the dragon's forehead with cinnabar. He held the Sanqing bell in his left hand and shook it while muttering, the dragon's body emitted a dark red light, and the stars were connected into a net to wrap it up. The tighter it was, and finally when the old Taoist yelled, he got into the gossip mirror held by the old Taoist right hand.

"He's not a demon, and the Demon Subduing Tower can't restrain him, but he's free from distracting thoughts. If you don't teach him to wake up and hurt people indiscriminately!" After the old Taoist came ashore, he was supported by the little Taoist to rest for a long time before reporting back to Emperor Zhengde road.

Just as the emperor nodded, he ordered someone to take a thousand gold reward and send him back to Ruihong Town, and see him tomorrow.

Just at this time, someone reported that Qiao Yu had been found on the west bank of Poyang Lake, and he was in a coma for the time being. Emperor Zhengde immediately ordered him to return to the city.On the way, another order was issued, not to spread what we saw today, and those who violated it will be executed.

Zhang Jin, Zhang Chong, and Wu Ping'er waited for a long time, and after hearing many rumors, they were all frightened. Seeing that Emperor Zhengde and his party came back, but there was no sign of Zhu Chenhao, they panicked immediately.

Emperor Zhengde was already exhausted, so he pulled himself together, skimmed over those strange incidents, explained the general story, and comforted him.

Wu Ping'er immediately burst into tears, Zhang Jin and Zhang Chong also couldn't come back to their senses for a while, their prince was fine before, why did he disappear like this?

Zhang Jin didn't believe it, and wanted to see the prince's corpse, but Emperor Zhengde was vague, saying only that he had been encoffined.Zhang Jin is also very hot-tempered. How could he believe this? He pointed at Emperor Zhengde's nose and cursed: "It's a trick of self-stealing! How can outsiders come and go freely in this place? If you don't want to see the prince, isn't it because you have something in your heart?" ghost!"

Emperor Zhengde ignored Zhang Jin's nonsense, and raised his hand to stop Zhang Rui who wanted to order someone to restrain Zhang Jin. Wu Ping'er and Zhang Chong hurriedly stepped forward to persuade them, and went back to their room temporarily.

Zhang Jin's yelling and cursing were still heard, a hand was stretched out from beside him, and he gently shook it under the sleeve. Emperor Zhengde turned his head and saw that it was Jiang Bin, and he was relieved a lot.The imperial doctor had a pulse, and there was nothing serious, so the two of them drank some decoction, took a bath and went to bed.

After turning off the lights, Emperor Zhengde put his arms around Jiang Bin and closed his eyes. In the dark, he went through today's events again and again like a revolving lantern.

Hearing a sigh in his arms, he realized that he was not asleep either, so he pulled him over and kissed him lightly.

"Let's go see him again in the morning..."

Jiang Bin said "Yes", but he knew that this matter was not that simple.

Lu Xie and Liu Qing in the capital are only involved with Yang Tinghe, without Zhu Chenhao's identification, it is dead without proof. How easy is it to find out their party?And the current situation has exposed Emperor Zhengde's thoughts, and I'm afraid they will jump the wall in a hurry and do some outrageous things.

Thinking like this, it was only after dawn that he took a nap.

He got up, but Emperor Zhengde was nowhere to be seen. After asking, he found out that it was Wu Ping'er who asked to see her, and Emperor Zhengde sent her there.

When Jiang Bin went to look for it, he saw Wu Ping'er coming out, his eyes were still swollen, and he looked like pear blossoms with rain. When he saw Jiang Bin, he made a blessing and said: "The emperor said to me, who would have thought of this?" Such absurd things... Zhang Jin will never believe it... I am not afraid of gossip, if you go, take me with you!"

Jiang Bin looked at Emperor Zhengde who was behind Wu Ping'er. Emperor Zhengde nodded slightly. After they had eaten something, they took some people towards Ruihong Town.

Ruihong Town is located on the southeast bank of Poyang Lake, where the Minyue Department Store passes by. Its population is only [-], but it is also a wealthy place.Previously, because of King Ning's rebellion, they all fled to other places, leaving only some helpless old and weak women and children, as well as monks and Taoist priests guarding temples, nunneries, and Taoist temples.

In the early morning, without hearing anyone's voice, leading the horse in the secluded alley filled with mist, the carved beams and painted buildings, dragons and phoenixes mixed with blue bricks and red tiles on both sides are like grinning ghost faces.

The old Taoist's footsteps were silent, which showed his skill.The little Taoist looked around nervously.Walking to the end of the alley, it suddenly became clear that there was a monastery on the flat land in the wilderness, and a tall tower stood in the center of the monastery.In front of the gate of the monastery, there were quite a few eminent monks in cassocks standing on the left and right, waiting respectfully.

"It's inconvenient for a poor Taoist to go in." The old Taoist said, then stood aside.

Emperor Zhengde nodded and took Jiang Bin and Wu Ping'er in together.

When I arrived inside, I saw that the base of the stone pagoda was two feet high, the lower floor was square, and the upper floor was octagonal.The first floor of the pagoda is like a pavilion. The door is opened to the south, and a three-foot-high Buddha statue can be seen from a distance.

The leading abbot recited the Buddha's voice, stepped forward and said, "Please follow me."

Emperor Zhengde asked his followers to stay outside, and only Wu Ping'er and Jiang Bin followed.A group of people arrived at the base of the tower, went down the stairs, and saw a door.The abbot stopped walking, twirled the Buddhist beads and recited a scripture, and then led the three of them in.

As soon as he got inside, Wu Ping'er shivered, but saw a stone wall carved with Buddha statues in front of him.On the stone wall, there are many night pearls inlaid, illuminating the spiraling corridor in green, very permeating.

Seeing Wu Ping'er's appearance, Jiang Bin knew that he was afraid, so he voluntarily stayed at the end and let her walk in the middle.

For a while, I could only hear the sound of footsteps, and when I finally stopped, I saw a doorway with a height of one person in front of me.

"He's awake." The host waited by the door after reading a scripture.

Emperor Zhengde nodded and walked in first.
