Chapter 2983 2985 [Sunflower Collection]
When Zhao Min heard this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Her father and her elder brother are both talented generals, shrewd and capable, commanding well. It is because Emperor Yuan Shun is incompetent and reuses treacherous ministers while alienating virtuous ones.
Otherwise, the rebel army in the south would not be so easy to develop. And Yuan Ting's vitality will not be consumed so much because of internal fighting.
In short, it's all about fate.
"I am entering the palace now, can you promise me to forgive my father and brother's death penalty?" Zhao Min asked again.
Xiang Nan nodded, "Don't worry, times have changed, I didn't intend to kill them."
Although the ancient wars were extremely cruel, they often covered thousands of miles of red land, bleeding and drifting. However, captured high-ranking generals, princes and ministers are usually not killed.
For example, during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhang Feiyi explained Yan Yan; during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Li Shimin recruited Cheng Yaojin, Luo Shixin, and Qin Shubao; during the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin recruited Qian Jiao, the king of Wuyue...
The reason for this is that on the one hand, it is because of cherishing talents. After all, talents are rare, and they will disappear if they are killed; on the other hand, it is to stabilize people's hearts. After all, they are both the masters of one party, and killing them is not conducive to buying people's hearts.
Just like in the early Tang Dynasty, Qin Wang Li Shimin killed Xia Wang Dou Jiande, causing Dou Jiande's subordinate Liu Heita to rebel against the Tang Dynasty again, and it took more than two years to finally calm down.
However, the slogan of the Zhenwu Army is "Expel the Tartars, restore our lands", and they have always killed the Yuan people without letting them go. That's why Zhao Min was worried that Xiang Nan would attack King Ruyang and Wang Baobao.
Now seeing Xiang Nan say that he never intended to kill them, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, "Is this true?"
"Of course it's true." Xiang Nan nodded, "Now Monan and Liaodong are all owned by me, and the Mongolians over there are also my people, so naturally we must treat them equally. In the civil uprising, I don't know how many people will be killed."
After the Mongols established the Yuan Dynasty, they divided the people under their rule into four classes. The first class is Mongols; the second class is Semu people; the third class is Han Chinese; the fourth class is Southerners.
The Yuan court prohibited Han people from riding horses, shooting and hunting, learning martial arts, holding weapons, gathering to worship gods, going to the market to buy and sell, and even walking at night.
It is precisely because of a series of discriminatory policies that the Han people have resentment towards the Mongolian people. Therefore, once the banner of rebellion was raised, so many people responded positively.
It can be said that the reason why the Yuan court collapsed so quickly was that Guozuo was less than a hundred years old. This unequal hierarchy was one of the biggest incentives.
Zhao Min just nodded when he heard what he said, and then said with emotion, "Your heart is really extraordinary, no wonder you can succeed in the end."
"If you don't even have such a heart, what kind of emperor is it?" Seeing what she said, Xiang Nan curled his lips and said.
…
"Hey, by the way, let me ask you something, where is that Ku Toutuo next to you?" Xiang Nan suddenly asked again.
"How do you know that there is a Ku Toutuo beside me?" Zhao Min was taken aback when he heard that.
"Of course I have my news channel." Xiang Nan smiled, "I heard that his martial arts are extremely high, not inferior to the two elders Xuanming. I have never seen such a master, so I am naturally very curious."
"You are right. Master Ku is indeed extremely skilled in martial arts and has always been my most capable subordinate. It is a pity that five years ago, he suddenly left without saying goodbye, and I don't know where he went." Zhao Min explained.
He knew that Ku Toutuo was Fan Yao, the right envoy of the Ming Cult. His martial arts were extremely high, second only to the two elders of Xuanming, but above Miejue Shitai, Fang Dongbai and others, he might not be inferior to Song Yuanqiao and Yu Lianzhou.
Moreover, he has a very strong mind. In order to investigate the cause of Yang Dingtian's death, he was able to destroy his face and pretend to be dumb. He has been undercover in the Ruyang Palace for more than 20 years.
Characters like this are dangerous. He is like a poisonous snake, he doesn't know when he will come out. Every day that Xiang Nan didn't see him arrested, there would always be a small lump in his heart.
…
During this Northern Expedition, Xiang Nan was pleasantly surprised not only by breaking the Northern Yuan Dynasty, but also the book "Sunflower Treasure" among the spoils captured.
It turns out that this book was taken to Beiyuan by Emperor Yuan Shun. It's great to be brought back now.
Xiang Nan then flipped through the book, and saw the eunuch's account on the title page.
It turned out that he was originally a child of a noble family in the Southern Song Dynasty. Because of his family's decline, he had no choice but to enter the palace as a eunuch. After entering the palace, he was assigned to work in the library of the palace. In order to relieve his loneliness, he usually read books.
The collection of books in the palace was collected by the emperor, and there are many martial arts cheats among them. Out of curiosity, the **** practiced according to the cheat book, and unknowingly, he practiced extremely superb martial arts.
It's just that as a eunuch, he has no desires and desires, so his reputation in the world is not obvious. Before he died, he wrote what he had learned all his life into "Sunflower Treasure", hoping that future generations would know that there was such a person as him.
After reading the description, Xiang Nan couldn't help feeling deeply moved.
Sure enough, there is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people. There are so many unknown heroes in the world.
If he hadn't deliberately searched for it, who in the world would know that there was such a master in the world a hundred years ago.
Just like Monk Jueyuan, if it wasn't because Yin Kexi and Xiaoxiangzi stole the "Langa Sutra" and made him go out to recover it, the world probably wouldn't know that there is such a master in Shaolin Temple.
Xiang Nan looked at the contents of "Sunflower Treasure" again, and it was indeed much more content than the "Evil Repelling Sword Art" he had found before.
Actually, "Evil Resisting Swordsmanship" is only a small part of "Sunflower Treasure". It was created by Zen Master Hongye based on the "Sunflower Treasure" memorized by Yue Su and Cai Zifeng of the Huashan School.
Yue Su and Cai Zifeng didn’t remember much at all, and after retelling, Zen Master Hongye knew even less. Therefore, compared to "Sunflower Treasure", "Evil Resisting Sword Art" is estimated to only account for less than one-tenth.
The full version of "Sunflower Treasure" is naturally much better than "Evil Resisting Sword Art". After Xiang Nan took a closer look, he felt that it was very mysterious. Once practiced, the power should not be weaker than "Nine Yin Manual" and "Nine Yang Magic".
And the full version of "Sunflower Treasure" does not require you to be from the palace.
It is just more demanding on the mind and nature of the practitioners, and requires that the mind be returned to the original, and all worldly thoughts and distractions should be abandoned, especially not to be able to improve the thoughts.
Because of its unique internal strength, it walks the kidney meridian of foot-shaoyin more, so the kidney water is strong and the desire is strong. Once activated, the **** will increase a hundred times.
So the first step is to get rid of distracting thoughts and cut off desires. Otherwise, the blood vessels will be swollen, the **** will be high, the body will be burned, and the madness will be lost.
But it is not easy to get rid of selfish distractions. Not even one person in a hundred thousand people can do it. Therefore, it is more convenient and quicker to come from the palace.
After all, the root of the disaster was cut directly, and it was settled once and for all.
