Reader note

400,000. On a winter night in the third year of Hongwu's reign, the city of Nanjing was blanketed by a rare blizzard. The candlelight in Zichen Hall shines through the carved window lattice, casting mottled light and shadow on the snow, but the hall is so quiet that you can hear the soft popping of candles. Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting on the dragon chair, his fingers unconsciously rubbing the jade belt around his waist. The jade belt was carved from a whole piece of Hetian jade. The cold touch crawled up his fingertips, but it couldn't suppress the anger surging in his eyes. The woman kneeling at the foot of the stairs was dressed in plain clothes, with not even a silver hairpin on her jet-black hair. She was none other than Wang, the sister of Timur, who had just been escorted to Beijing. "Raise your head." Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was like the cold wind outside the palace, which made people's ears hurt. Wang slowly raised her head, revealing a bloodless face. Her eyes were very bright, like the cold stars on the Saibei grassland, but they were full of stubbornness at this moment. Three days ago, she was the beloved seventh lady in the general's palace. In the blink of an eye, she became a prisoner of the Ming army - because her brother was none other than Timur, the "wonderful man in the world" who had repeatedly defeated the Ming army in Mobei. "I heard that your brother expanded his army and claimed to have a hundred thousand troops in Mobei?" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly smiled, but the smile was more frightening than his glare. "But no matter how hard he fights, he can't protect his own sister. Tell me, who is the most powerful in the world?" Wang pursed her lips and said nothing. She knew it was a trap. To say that Zhu Yuanzhang's army is powerful would destroy his brother's prestige; to say that his brother's cavalry is powerful would inevitably offend the emperor in front of him. The eunuch next to her screamed in a high voice: "Your Majesty asks a question, do you dare not to answer it?" Wang took a deep breath, her voice hoarse as if she had just cried: "Your Majesty is in charge of the world, so he is naturally the most powerful." "Ha." Zhu Yuanzhang slammed the armrest of the dragon chair, and the gold-painted dragon head shone coldly under the candlelight. "Do you think I am a fool who likes to listen to these flatteries? I ask you, what is the biggest thing in the world?" This question exploded in the palace like thunder. The imperial guards standing there all held their breath. They knew His Majesty's temperament very well - seemingly casual questions often contained murderous knives. Wang's fingertips dug deeply into her palms, and the cold air brought in by the snow from the prison car was still soaked in her bones, but at this moment she felt hot all over her body. She recalled that when she was a child, her father taught her to read "The Analects of Confucius" and said, "A gentleman should stick to his roots, and his roots are the foundation of his moral principles." She recalled that her brother told her before going off to war that the two words "faith and righteousness" that children of the prairie valued most were the most important. "What is the biggest thing in the world?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked again, the impatience in his tone almost overflowing. Mrs. Wang raised her eyes, met Zhu Yuanzhang's sharp gaze, and said word by word: "Loyalty and filial piety are the greatest." As soon as these four words fell to the ground, there was a deathly silence in the hall. The smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face slowly faded, and his eyes became deep and unpredictable. He stared at Mrs. Wang for a long time, and then suddenly burst into laughter. The laughter shook the dust on the beam and said, "Loyalty and filial piety are the best! Well said!" Mr. Wang's heart sank. She knew that what was hidden in this laughter was not appreciation, but a more terrifying calculation. Sure enough, Zhu Yuanzhang's laughter stopped and his tone suddenly turned serious: "Since you know that loyalty and filial piety are the greatest, let me ask you - now that you are a prisoner of the Ming Dynasty, and I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, are you loyal to me or filial to me?" Mrs. Wang froze. She finally understood that this was Zhu Yuanzhang's true intention. "Your Majesty is the king, and your servants must be loyal to you." She replied through gritted teeth, her nails almost digging into her flesh. "What a loyal person!" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stood up, and the hem of his dragon robe swept across the table. The tea cup on it fell to the ground with a clang, and the tea splashed the gold bricks. "Then I will give you a chance to be loyal now. My second son Zhu Xi is twenty years old and has not yet married. I see that you are dignified and virtuous, so I will point you to him as his concubine. How about it?" Wang looked up suddenly as if struck by thunder, her eyes filled with disbelief. She is the sister of Timur, and a relative of Zhu Yuanzhang's mortal enemy. Zhu Yuanzhang actually wants to marry her to his son? "Your Majesty..." Wang's voice was trembling, "My daughter Pu Liu is so beautiful, and she is the sister of a guilty minister. I would never dare to match the prince..." "Unbridled!" Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted her sternly, "If I say you are worthy, then you are worthy! You just said that loyalty and filial piety are the most important, and now I have granted you a marriage by the order of the king and father. If you resist the decree, you will be disloyal; if you marry into the royal family and persuade your ungrateful brother to surrender in the future, you will let him abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side to save his life. This is filial piety! Say it yourself, should you accept this marriage?" Wang's lips were trembling and she couldn't say a word. Zhu Yuanzhang's words were like an airtight net, covering her tightly. If she agrees, she will betray her brother and family and become a traitor despised by everyone on the grassland; if she does not agree, she will disobey the order. Not only will she die, but her relatives far away in Mobei may also be harmed. "Why, don't you say anything?" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were like knives on her face, "Didn't you say that loyalty and filial piety are the most important things? Is your loyalty and filial piety meant to make your brother a treacherous minister and traitor all his life, and to end up with your head and body missing?" The wind and snow outside the palace became tighter, and the whistling wind sounded like the cries of countless innocent souls. Wang looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's ravaged face and suddenly understood - the emperor who climbed out of the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood never intended to give her a choice. What he wanted was not a daughter-in-law, but a hostage, a tool to humiliate Timur and undermine the morale of the Beiyuan army. "My daughter... I obey the decree." These three words almost exhausted all Wang's energy. Her head hit the cold gold brick hard, making a dull sound. Tears finally couldn't help but burst out of her eyes. When she hit the ground, it was instantly covered with a thin layer of ice. Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction, and that unpredictable smile appeared on his face: "That's right. Those who know the current affairs are heroes. Now that you have entered the door of my Zhu family, you will be my princess of the Ming Dynasty in the future. As for your brother... I believe that he will always understand my painstaking efforts." He waved his hand and motioned to the eunuch to take Wang down. "Take good care of her, put her in new clothes, and teach her to learn my Ming Dynasty's rules. Three days later, I will marry Zhu Ping." Wang was carried out by the two palace maids, her steps were as frivolous as stepping on cotton. When she walked to the door of the palace, she looked back and saw that Zhu Yuanzhang had sat down again and was looking down at the memorial on the case, as if the conversation that determined her life just now was just a trivial matter. The wind and snow rushed towards her face and poured into her collar, making her shiver with cold. She knew that from this moment on, Timur's sister was dead, and the only survivor was the concubine of the Ming prince Zhu Xi - a prisoner tied to the chariot of the Zhu Ming Dynasty with the word "loyalty and filial piety". Three days later, the wedding was held as scheduled. The whole city of Nanjing is immersed in celebration with red makeup and loud drum music. But in the new house, Mrs. Wang was sitting on the wedding bed covered with mandarin duck brocade quilt. Looking at the heavy red hijab on her head, she felt that her eyes were completely dark. She remembered her brother's words before leaving: "Seventh sister, daughter of the grassland, has bones harder than stone." But at this moment, no matter how hard her bones are, how can she withstand the crushing power of the emperor? The noise of the guests came from outside the window, mixed with the laughter of the groom Zhu Xi. Wang slowly raised her hand and took off the phoenix crown on her head. The pearls and gems on the phoenix crown shone under the candlelight, but they looked like a pair of mocking eyes. She knew that this forced marriage in the name of "loyalty and filial piety" was just the beginning of another imprisonment. And what choice will her brother Timur make after learning the news? The snow is still falling in Nanjing City, as if all the grudges and hatreds in the world are buried in this vast white.

Reader note

A graduate student in the Department of Modern History accidentally passed through his soul and became Ye Fashan, a Taoist priest in the early Tang Dynasty. With the memory of two lives, he must not only inherit the magical powers of this Taoist legend in history, but also look at this era with parallel Buddhism and Taoism and the undercurrent of exotic religions from a modern perspective. From his enlightenment in the Taoist temple in Kuocang Mountain to his travel experience in the streets of Chang'an, he used talismans to ward off evil spirits and the skills of stepping and fighting to protect the people. He also used his thorough knowledge to dismantle the witchcraft of Nestorianism (Cross religion) - exposing the "holy water" scam in Liulin Town, breaking the sinister "Blood Lotus Formation" in Guanzhong, and defeating the conspiracy of alienated forces such as A Luohan step by step. He made friends with Li Jing, inspired Li Shimin, and used dreams to legislate the world on the eve of the Xuanwu Gate Incident. In the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, he personally entered the underworld, used Taoism to rewrite the emperor's life span, and finally became the master of the Tang Dynasty. The mystery of the connection between heaven and man is hidden in the Zhaijiao rituals, and the philosophy of Lao and Zhuang reveals the Taoist heart of saving the world and bringing peace to people. When the orthodoxy of Taoism encounters the impact of extreme beliefs, and when the torrent of history encounters the changes of travelers, Ye Fashan holds the talisman in his hand and walks on the road. He must not only protect the Taoist lineage in the court and the rivers and lakes, but also use his mysterious power to defend the foundation of a civilization from being swallowed up by evil cults. This is a legend intertwined with magical powers and historical events. It is also a song of Taoism protection in the prosperous Tang Dynasty - observing the way of heaven, determining the way of humanity, talismans fixing mountains and rivers, and the way governs the world.

Superb rhythm control: it not only contains the delicate psychological foreshadowing and enlightenment of Sima Yi's youth, but also the thunderous outbreak of major events such as the Gaoping Ling Incident, the Three Rebellions in Huainan, and the two men's struggle for merit. There is a degree of relaxation and freedom of movement.
