Text 931 [Water and Fire Mage]

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    It was also in the winter of this year that two skinny old men were brought to live in Nanjing.

    They are from Nanpan Kingdom, also called Jialai Kingdom.

    But in fact there is no king, only two archmages: the king of water and the king of fire.

    The king of water lives in the east of Mount Ponan, and the king of fire lives in the west of Mount Ponan. It is said that if the king does not see the king, a catastrophe will happen when the two kings meet.

    ? Not only the tribes of Nanpan Kingdom believed them, even when floods and droughts occurred in Laos and Cambodia, two mages would be invited to ride elephants to pray for blessings.

    Now that the Ruan family is gone, the Nanpan Kingdom has also surrendered to the imperial court, and it has been established as the Nanpan Military and Civilian Mansion under Guangnan Province.  The chiefs of each tribe were appointed as the mayors of the towns, and each town sent a Han teacher to set up thatched sheds as schools to impart knowledge.

    These Han teachers are all sons of merchants who have been doing business with the Ruan family for a long time.  A literate clan member from each family can go to Nanpan Mansion to work as a village teacher, and they can be exonerated from their past crimes.

    There is no need to impart any high-end knowledge. The aborigines there are still knotting ropes to keep track of events, and it is enough to teach children to speak Chinese and write Chinese characters.  These Chinese-speaking children can be appointed as town mayors when they grow up-the local chiefs are elected, and have not yet developed to a hereditary level.

    Even the king of water and the king of fire are not hereditary.  They are not allowed to pass the throne to their sons, and they can only select successors from grandchildren and nephews for training.

    The two kings of water and fire, who have never met each other, not only met now, but also became friends along the way, exchanging spells with each other.

    One is Ruolanhei, in her sixties; the other is Ruopoli, in her fifties.

    "Ruo" is not a surname, but an honorific title.

    They also live in Zhongshan Temple with their entourage. Compared with the envoys from other countries, they are very poorly dressed.

    However, the envoys of the various countries did not despise them, and were also very interested, because they heard that they could spell.  The envoys came to visit one after another, wanting to know their customs, and also wanted to see their ability to control wind and rain.

    Finally, on the day before entering the palace to face the saint, the two kings sat together to discuss the future.

    Ruolanhei said: "I have communicated with Chinese officials for two months and learned a lot about them. China is very powerful. If China is like a mountain, we are like rocks under the mountain. The power of the Chinese court will be in our land.  It has been revealed that our children and grandchildren will also become Chinese."

    "That's right, you're right," Ruo Poli took out his pipe, lit the tobacco and said, "So we have to learn from China, and we will go back and tell the people that the most powerful god is Heaven, and the emperor is the son of Heaven."  Come to the world. It is the Dragon King who calls the wind and rain, and we are communicating with the Dragon King when we pray for the rain to recede the water."

    Ruo Lanhei said: "We should also identify other gods, it is best to deify the water kings and fire kings of the past."

    The god system of Nanpan Kingdom is very similar. Their main belief is ghosts, and the so-called magic also belongs to primitive witchcraft.

    However, they are willing to accept new things, such as tobacco.

    It has been less than a hundred years since tobacco was introduced to Nanpan, but the tobacco pipe has become the magic weapon of the two kings of water and fire, and it is the most important magic weapon.  Before each practice, you have to light a cigarette and take a few puffs, saying that you can communicate with ghosts and gods.

    ? Historically, Vietnam completely annexed the Nanpan Kingdom and spread enlightenment like China.  The two kings of water and fire did not conflict, and decisively adjusted their beliefs, and dragon gods and the like also appeared.

    Ruo Poli said: "We made an agreement here. After returning home, let our followers spread the news. Let's say that we met the son of heaven in Nanjing. The Chinese emperor is the real king of gods. The ghosts and gods we established should be the same.  Every five years from now on, we will meet at Po Nan Mountain."

    "Water King and Fire King can't meet, how should I explain to the tribe?" Ruo Lanhei asked.

    Ruo Poli said: "Before we couldn't meet each other because we believed in different ghosts and gods. Now that we meet the Son of Heaven, we will all believe in the Son of Heaven from now on. The ghosts and gods have become the same, so we can meet."

    "That's right." Ruo Lanhei nodded.

    Ruo Poli said again: "I think the Han people are very good at farming. They have iron hoes and plows, and they have dug ditches beside the fields to divert water. We can also learn from it and stop burning mountains for farming."

    "But who can we learn from? We don't understand these things." Ruo Lanhei said.

    Ruo Poli said: "We have donated treasures this time. According to the general officer, the emperor will give gifts in return. We don't want other gifts, but we need hoes, iron plows and seeds. Please ask the emperor to send someone to teach our people.  Farm the land, and teach us to dig ditches to carry water."

    Ruolanhei said excitedly: "In that case, we can grow more food, and the people of the tribe will no longer be hungry."

    There are not many special products in Nanpan Kingdom, such as yellow wax, deer antler, ivory and so on.  They would use these things to exchange iron pots, hoes, salt, etc. with Ruan, but?I feel very good about the Han people, and I am willing to have friendly exchanges with the Han people in the future.

    Zhao Han received two mages, and it was getting late, so he went back to the harem to rest.

    "Your Majesty is coming!" Li Xiangjun greeted him with a smile.

    Zhao Han hurriedly supported him: "Be careful not to move the fetal gas."

    When Li Xiangjun was thirty years old, he was also registered as a concubine, and at the same time gave up his position as a female official, and now he is pregnant with Liujia.

    No one said anything about this matter, but the ministers were very worried.

    There are many such examples, and it is very likely that the harem will interfere in politics.  But they did not dare to oppose the emperor, so they buried their worries in their hearts, and after the new emperor ascended the throne, they urged the new emperor to gradually restore the eunuch system.

    In the past, civil servants hated eunuchs, but now they are eager for eunuchs to come back. At least eunuchs in politics are more reliable than harems in politics!

    Just like the husband thinks the original spouse is disgusting, after divorce and remarries, he thinks about the benefits of the original spouse and wants to remarry.
