Daming: The Sims, Lao Zhu’s mentality collapsed

Chapter 54 If there is a god in the world, he must be Emperor Chengzu Wu
  [The territory of Xunzhou in Guangxi is surrounded by thousands of mountains, among which is the Xunjiang River, which originates from Liuzhou and Qingzhou, winds eastward to Xunzhou, and passes through Xiangzhou, Yong'an, Xiuren, Lipu, Pingle County, etc. The mountains near Xunjiang are all steep cliffs, the most dangerous of which is called Dadeng Gorge. 】

[Your people have been living in this dangerous place for generations, living in the caves of Dateng Gorge. You are naturally rebellious and disdain to obey the management of the Ming Dynasty. Sometimes some people rebel. 】

[When Jingtai was in power, you were relatively stable. In the tenth year of Jingtai, a serious rebellion occurred in the Ming court. Emperor Zhu Qizhen killed the Ming emperor Zhu Qiyu. Finally, the regent of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youyu, led his troops to the Northern Expedition, overthrew the tyranny of Zhu Qizhen, and supported Zhu Jianshen as his successor. Emperor Chenghua. 】

[This originally had nothing to do with being thousands of miles apart, but after people in your clan learned that great changes had occurred in the Ming Dynasty, they took the opportunity to launch a rebellion and wanted to break away from the rule of the Ming Dynasty. 】

[As a result, the Ming Dynasty only sent a minister of war named Han Yong, and the rebellion was easily suppressed. The Ming army general stood on the top of the mountain, looking down at the Yao prisoners, and happened to see the big vines spanning the mountains. 】

[This big vine is a god-given artifact of your Yao people. It stretches across the cliff. It disappears during the day and only appears at night. Dadeng Gorge is named after the divine vine. 】

[Han Yong dismissed this and cut off the divine vine with a sharp ax, causing everyone to turn pale in shock. 】

[The Ming army general said proudly: "We Ming people do not believe in ghosts and gods. If there is a god in the world, it must be the founder of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Wu!"]

[Since then, Dadeng Gorge has become Duanteng Gorge. 】

[Having witnessed this with your own eyes, you were greatly shocked in your heart. The divine vine you had always believed in was cut off by Akito with an axe. And the "Chengzu Emperor Wu" mentioned by the Ming army general will be forever imprinted in your heart. 】

[You are very curious about what kind of person these gods believe in. 】

[In the first year of Chenghua, Han Yong selected some young prisoners and escorted them to Beijing. 】

[At first you were curious as to why Han Yong sent himself to the capital. Could it be that the emperor was a big devil who liked to eat children, as his tribe said? 】

[But soon you won’t be curious anymore. 】

[The young captives who were sent to the capital were made into palace maids for women and eunuchs for men. As a child, you have not yet experienced the joy of adulthood, and you are already destined to never experience it for the rest of your life. 】

[After eunuchs are purified, they usually become psychologically distorted, their personalities become more extreme, and they are particularly persistent in something. For example, some people like power, and some people like money, and they will do whatever it takes to climb up or amass money. . 】

[But you are different from ordinary eunuchs. You have your own persistence deep in your heart. 】

【You are obsessed with "God". 】

[You want to see with your own eyes what kind of god the Ming army general named Han Yong believes in. As far as you know, this god named "Chengzu Wuhuang" is different from those illusory gods believed in by your clan. Chengzu Wuhuang is real. 】

[But after entering the palace, you will soon know that Emperor Chengzu Wu is dead. 】

[This disappoints you, and you begin to question: Since Chengzu and Wu Huang are already gods, why is he still dead? 】

[Although Emperor Chengzu Wu is dead, you still have a chance. 】

[The Ming Dynasty has no gods, but there are still sons of gods. 】

[The regent Zhu Youyu is the son of God. 】

[However, it is a bit too difficult for you to meet the Son of God. This regent is a more noble person than the Ming Emperor, and is simply not something that ordinary eunuchs like you can meet. 】

[But you were persistent and did not give up. You were very lucky. Not long after your purification, you were sent to the emperor's inner palace to work as a miscellaneous person in Zhaode Palace. 】

[The owner of Zhaode Palace, whose surname is Wan, is Concubine Wan of the harem. ]     【A few years later, the queen was deposed, and the regent promoted Concubine Wan Guifei to the rank of queen. When one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. You, a young eunuch who works diligently in the Zhaode Palace, will soon be transferred to the cabinet and be responsible for doing miscellaneous tasks for the cabinet elders. 】

[Although it is also a chore, doing odd jobs in the cabinet is not an ordinary job. It is a very noble position. Even the men in red robes in the court must treat you with more than enough courtesy. 】

[In the cabinet, you finally met your persistent "son of god" - the regent Zhu Youyu. 】

[When you meet the person for the first time, you just think that he is a very good-looking person. Although he is very old, it is not difficult to tell from his facial features that this person must have been handsome when he was young. 】

[During that time, you often accompanied Zhu Youyu in the cabinet. Although the two of them almost never talked, you always watched this man silently from behind. 】

[This is a very strange person. He seems to be tireless. After the other ministers in the cabinet have left, he holds candles and approves documents alone until midnight. He will not take a short rest until dawn, and then continue to work. 】

[No matter who sees him, they are in awe, including His Majesty the Emperor. Zhu Youyu always looks majestic in front of others, using his charisma to impress others. 】

[In November of the fifth year of Chenghua, Zhu Youyu suddenly said that he was going to Changling in Tianshou Mountain. 】

[Everyone seems to know that once he leaves, he may not come back. He is too old and too tired. 】

[This time, Zhu Youyu didn’t bring anyone else with him, only you. 】

[You walked all the way to Changling in Tianshou Mountain. Zhu Youyu gave you a jade pendant and asked you to go to his grandson to exchange for a future. 】

[Is the grandson of the Son of God...the great-grandson of God? 】

[You look at his back, with snow-stained hair on the temples, so desolate, you suddenly want to cry. 】

[You tried not to cry, holding the jade pendant given by Zhu Youyu, and ran all the way back to the capital. 】

[In the capital, you met Zhu Youyu’s grandson, the god’s great-grandson named Zhu Tongxing. 】

[When Zhu Tongxing saw the jade pendant in your hand, he already understood that his grandfather was dead. 】

[He said in a hoarse voice: "You should stay in my house for the next few days, and then I will find an opportunity to report to His Majesty to promote you."]

[You said: "I don't need promotion, but can you leave this jade pendant to me?"]

[You want to keep the jade pendant that Zhu Youyu gave you. Since it is a personal belonging to the Son of God, it should also be a sacred object. 】

[Zhu Tongxing frowned and was silent for a moment, but in the end he chose to leave the jade pendant to you. 】

[Not long after, the emperor announced the death of Zhu Youyu. 】

[After Zhu Youyu's death, he was given the posthumous title "Wu", that is, "King Wu of Zhou", and was buried with Zhu Qiyu, Emperor Zhaozong of the Ming Dynasty. He was buried with emperor's rites and stayed out of court for ten days. 】

[His grandson Zhu Tongxing inherited the throne and was in charge of the cabinet, the Ministry of War, and the clan mansion. 】

[After Zhu Tongxing came to power, he reported to the emperor, requesting that you be promoted to the position of eunuch of the ceremonial department, and the emperor agreed. 】
