People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 139 Yan Shenggong who lost his soul, the fat sheep delivered to the door
"Who is Zhang Sanfeng? I don't remember that there is a famous person named Zhang in the world?"

Liu Bowen tried to find a great Confucian surnamed Zhang in his mind, but he couldn't match the name.

In his heart, it is absolutely impossible for the person who can come up with such a conspiracy to be someone other than Confucianism, but Yang Xian smiled and said:
"My lord Liu thought wrong, this person should not be from my generation, but a Taoist priest!"

"Is the news reliable?"

Liu Bowen questioned instinctively, but he also knew in his heart that if Yang Xian found the news, it should be credible.

Yang Xian, whose real name is Yang Bi and courtesy name Xiwu, was born in Yangqu, Taiyuan.

He is Zhu Yuanzhang's confidant and has won Zhu Yuanzhang's trust.

When Zhu Yuanzhang set up the school, Yang Xian was in charge of the school.

Even if he is not in the school now, he still has a lot of influence in the school.

So the news he got should be credible!

However, Yang Xian shook his head: "Not sure!"

"Lord Liu, I'm no longer in the school. If I want to ask those who moved Gao Jianxian for news, I'm afraid they will sell me to His Majesty in a blink of an eye and use the school's relationship. I don't dare...

But after all, I have been there for many years, I dare not touch the people above, but there are still some connections below!
My lord, do you still remember that General Xu personally escorted Shenggong back to Beijing a while ago? "

Liu Bowen nodded.

Xu Da was the commander-in-chief of the front line, but when he captured Qufu, Zhu Yuanzhang actually ordered him to personally escort Kong Kejian back to the capital. This incident also caused a lot of discussion at the time.

But the focus of everyone's discussion is Zhu Yuanzhang's anger towards Kong Kejian. Is it so great that it will even delay the military situation?
Liu Bowen still felt that something was wrong at the time. He believed that Zhu Yuanzhang would not call Xu Da back for a Yan Shenggong, but it was just a secret that no one could figure out.

Yang Xian said:
"I have a little brother who lives in the Xu Mansion, so I heard some interesting things!
After Xu Da came back from the Xu Mansion, the name of [Zhang Sanfeng] sometimes appeared in the population of the Xu family!

And every time this name is mentioned, the Xu family often realizes that they can't say it, so they shut up!
Xu Yungong, the eldest son of Xu's family, mentioned that he was beaten up by the girl of the Xu family, so he won't talk about it in the future!
But Mrs. Xin Guogong's wife, Mrs. Xie...

Inadvertently mentioned it a few times!The most recent time, he was reprimanded by his niece, Xie did not dare to refute!

When General Xu had just left, Mrs. Xie still intentionally or unintentionally inquired about a Taoist priest named Zhang Sanfeng...

All kinds of signs indicated that Zhang Sanfeng was very likely to be the expert Mr. Liu mentioned! "

Liu Ji frowned slightly, he understood the character of Mrs. Xin Guogong's wife, Mrs. Xie.

Most of Zhu Yuanzhang's heroes were from poor families, and it was difficult to marry such a lady when they married.

Mrs. Xie's character is actually good, at least much better than Mrs. Lan's from Chang Yuchun's family.

But this woman is a little talkative and can't hide things, Liu Bowen also knows it.

If no one mentioned "Zhang Sanfeng" before, after Xu Da left, the Xu family started looking for Zhang Sanfeng?
According to this clue, maybe there is really a Taoist named Zhang Sanfeng in this capital?
"Although Mrs. Xie was stopped every time, she gradually stopped mentioning it, but according to my brother, Mrs. Xie once mentioned that this person has something to do with the palace!

Either Zhang Sanfeng himself, or his elder, this person is the master behind His Majesty! "

"That makes sense!"

Liu Bowen suddenly felt enlightened, and Yang Xian's information just confirmed his thoughts.

"Actually, you can also pay attention to one detail, that is, the first time Longhushan Zhang normal came to the capital, he was taught a lesson by His Majesty. You know that His Majesty is wary of Buddhism and Taoism...

Daoist Zhou Dian predicted so many things, Zhang Normal also took good care of His Majesty back then.

But this world is certain, His Majesty will deal with these people immediately, which shows that he is afraid of monks and Taoism.

But since Zhang Normal came to Beijing for the second time, His Majesty's attitude towards the Zhang family has obviously changed!

His attitude towards Taoism has at least softened!So I suspect that His Majesty was influenced by some old god!
And he got the sweetness from this old fairy, so he loves Wujiwu..."

"Why is Master Yang so sure that Zhang Sanfeng is a god? Not a demon who disrupted the court?"

There was a cold light in Liu Bowen's eyes, but Yang Xian didn't care, he said:
"Because I just read some miscellaneous books and recorded this immortal... There is a record in the epitaph of King Zhengnan of Song Dynasty: There are so-called inner family members who stop with silence, and the offenders are ready to attack, so don't be Shaolin as inner family members. It was built by Zhang Sanfeng...

If the record in this book is true, this Sanfeng real person is likely to be a person from the end of Song Dynasty, at least a hundred years old from today...

If the master behind His Majesty is for him, it will be justified! "

Liu Bowen was terrified, a hundred-year-old god, this is not something to talk about casually.

As for the so-called gods, Zhou Dian was the only person Liu Bowen had met in his life.

Zhou Dian followed the emperor and made many predictions, but Zhu Yuanzhang tied a big stone and sank him into the river just because he predicted that many people would die if he beat Zhang Shicheng.

After the battle, Zhou Dian walked out of the river, went straight to Zhu Yuanzhang's tent at that time, and asked Zhu Yuanzhang for some food.

At that time, many generals were frightened out of their wits, thinking that the gods wanted revenge.

Only Zhu Yuanzhang was calm and asked someone to give Zhou Dian some food. After Zhou Dian finished eating, he turned around and left without a trace.

The emperor is a person who can attract strangers, so it would not be surprising if an old fairy appeared beside him.

I just don't know if Zhang Sanfeng is by His Majesty's side, is it a blessing or a curse?

As an orthodox Confucian, Liu Bowen doesn't like these so-called gods. In his opinion, those people are just demons who trouble the king.

He had his own answer in his heart, so he stopped talking.

"Lord Liu, Your Majesty's North-South ranking really caught us off guard, but you don't have to worry, it's just that you were punished by His Majesty this time, and Li Shanchang is suppressing you again...

You have to be on guard against him!

In fact, I have always felt that the talent of an adult is a hundred times better than that of Li Shanchang. It is a pity that he is a fellow of the emperor. We people are not...

Even though His Majesty trusts us, we are still not as good as his old brothers! "

Yang Xian seemed to defend Liu Ji, but Liu Ji gave him a deep look.

"Duke Yang, Your Majesty has arranged for you to be sent to Zhongshu Province, don't you understand what he means?

No matter Li Wenzhong or Li Shanchang, His Majesty will not really trust him!
You were born in a school, if you say who His Majesty trusts, you are one of them
However, although you have changed your identity, don't forget your original intention! "

"Thank you Master Liu for your teaching, then I will take my leave first..."

Yang Xian seemed to accept Liu Bowen's words, but the expression on his face clearly disagreed.

Liu Bowen sighed inwardly and scolded an idiot.

He also reflected on himself, power is a double-edged sword after all.

I was fascinated, and Yang Xian was the same.

Yang Xian is from Shanxi, but he is very close to Liu Bowen. In the eyes of other people in the court, he is also placed on the side of the Eastern Zhejiang School.

But both Yang Xian and Liu Ji knew that they never belonged to each other.

Yang Xian was rejected because he couldn't get into Huaixi's circle, and the Zhedong faction was the only circle where he could wrestle with Li Shanchang, so he got close to him.

It's just that he doesn't understand, what is the basis for Zhu Yuanzhang's trust?
It was he who went to monitor Li Wenzhong back then, and his stand was impartial. This was the reason why the emperor trusted him.

When the emperor put him in Zhongshu Province and asked him to monitor Li Shanchang, if he can still maintain the mentality of the year, he will have a good fortune.

But if it's the current state of mind...

I'm afraid the time of death is not far away!
"Your Majesty Yang, you have to keep your distance from now on...at least you can't force His Majesty to make His Majesty feel that I am very close to him!"

After watching Yang Xian leave, Liu Bowen turned around with his hands behind his back, and went back to his study to continue compiling textbooks!
……

On the second day, Confucian Mansion!

"Konne thanked the emperor, and thanked His Highness the Crown Prince..."

The emperor's oral order was sent from the palace to the Confucian mansion.

Kong Na took his grandfather to accept the imperial decree, and tears filled his eyes with excitement.

The emperor was finally willing to let Grandpa go out, even if it was just to relax, it was a rare opportunity for the Kong family.

This means that I can finally see some feedback from my hard work these days.

He remembered what Zhang Yi said, what the emperor wanted was Kong Na's heart, and the better he behaved, the more likely he would improve his grandfather's situation.

"His Royal Highness asked me to bring a sentence, cherish it carefully, and don't let down the opportunity you won yourself!"

When the father-in-law passing the decree approached Kong Na, he whispered something in his ear.

Kong Na was naturally grateful.

When the eunuch left, Kong Na hugged his grandfather excitedly:

"Grandpa, we can go out now, grandson will take you for an outing!"

There was also a hint of expectation in Kong Kejian's eyes, and he became quiet.

"Forbe, go prepare a car!"

"Master, where are we going?"

"Wherever you want!"

Kong Na's tone was very anxious, he wished he could leave here immediately.

Kong Fu heard the words and hurried to prepare the carriage.

Not long after, the grandfather and grandson of the Kong family got into the car, and Kong Fu drove the car himself.

"Go, go wherever you want!"

Kong Na gave an order, Kong Fu twitched his whip, and the carriage moved forward slowly.

"Master, the emperor is like this, why don't you send someone to follow?

Isn't he afraid that we will run away? "

"Can you run away from people, can you run away from the Kong family?"

Kong Na smiled miserably and ordered Kong Fu to concentrate on driving.

"Grandpa, there are no outsiders here now!

grandfather……

grandfather……? "

Kong Na called Kong Kejian for a long time, but Kong Kejian still looked foolish.

This scene made Kong Na's face pale instantly.

Grandpa isn't really crazy, is he?
Kong Na gently pushed Kong Kejian, but Kong Kejian ignored him and just smirked.

"grandfather!"

Kong Na was in the car, crying loudly.

Kong Fu, who was driving ahead, heard the crying in the carriage, and also wiped his tears.

The carriage crossed the street and went out of the city without knowing it.

"We really don't care?"

The carriage carrying the Kong family left the city. Someone watched the carriage leave with a hesitant tone.

"Your Majesty says it doesn't matter, so don't worry about it!
The whole world belongs to Daming, where can they go? "

……

"grandfather!"

Kong Na was in the car, trying to wake up Kong Kejian, but Kong Kejian ignored him.

He cried out his tears and didn't know what to do.

"Master, did the master lose his soul? How about we find a great immortal to call him the soul?"

"Soul?"

After all, Kong Na was a child, and he was already in a panic at this time, and he had already thrown away the teachings of saints such as respecting ghosts and gods and staying away.

What Kong Fu said was his life-saving straw.

"Then where do we go to find someone to call the soul?"

If it was in Shandong, the Kong family could find anyone if they wanted to find someone.

But in Yingtian, Kong Na and Kong Fu didn't know too many people, and most importantly,

The identity of the Kong family wants to find someone to call the soul, but also pay attention to the influence.

The Kong family, but the blood of the most holy master Kong Shengren, is the descendant of the holy blood...

After all, this kind of thing should not be too publicized.

"I do have a classmate who is a Taoist priest from Mount Longhu, but that kid..."

Thinking of calling the soul, Kong Na immediately thought of Zhang Yi, but he immediately shook his head, he had better not deal with that kid.

He knew about his grandfather's situation, and he felt guilty when he saw Zhang Yi!

After Emperor Hongwu banned monkhood, it was not easy to find a magic stick.

Kong Fu and Kong Na looked at each other, helpless.

At this time, Kong Na's eyes lit up, and he saw a small Taoist temple in the distance!

"There is a Taoist temple there, why don't we go and have a look?"

There is no good way for the two masters and servants, they can only use a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

Confucius raised his whip and urged the carriage to gallop in the direction of the Taoist temple.

Not long after, they came near the Taoist temple, and a strong garlic smell permeated the surroundings.

Kong Na frowned slightly, resisting the discomfort and approaching the Taoist temple.

When he got out of the car, he saw the words Qingxinguan written on the Taoist temple.

He always felt as if he had heard of this name somewhere, but he didn't care.

At this time, Kong Fu had already gone up to inquire about the situation.
At the entrance of the Taoist temple, sitting a young Taoist priest, about fifteen or sixteen years old.

Kong Fu stepped forward and asked:

"This Taoist priest, why does this Taoist temple have such a strong smell?"

Deng Zhongxiu was in a daze at first, when suddenly someone came to question him. Seeing that he was a kind old man, he stood up and said:

"Old man, my Guanzhu master is making alchemy inside, and the smell is a bit strong, please forgive me!"

"Alchemy?"

As soon as he heard this term, the image of the Taoist temple suddenly grew in Kong Fu's heart.

A Taoist master who can make alchemy must be able to call the soul to exorcise demons!
"Daoist, my master and young master are out for an outing, passing by here, and want to go in and pay homage to Sanqing, is it convenient or not?"

"You're welcome, of course it's very convenient. I don't know your master's name?"

Kong Fu hesitated and said:
"Surname Bai..."

"So it's Master Bai, welcome!"

There is not a single living pilgrim in the Qingxin Temple all the year round, and there are not many people who come in except for the girl from the Chang family and the father and son of the Huang family.

Ever since Zhang Yi started alchemy, people hate ghosts here even more!
Although the concept of pure heart does not rely on incense to live, but as a Taoist priest, Deng Zhongxiu always feels that the value does not live out the value of life.

The carriage approached slowly, and the curtain was drawn open.

Deng Zhongxiu was stunned, he vaguely felt that this person looked familiar, but he didn't seem to have seen him before.

Every time he sent Zhang Yi to school, he never bumped into Kong Na!

The young man looked like a member of a scholarly family. After he got out of the car, he turned around and said grandpa, and then helped an old man to get out of the car slowly.

The clothes on the old man were luxurious, but he looked foolish.

Deng Zhongxiu realized something, so he hurried over to help.

"beware of the steps!"

Kong Na didn't recognize Deng Zhongxiu either, and his face was full of sadness at this time.

After taking his grandfather in, Kong Fu wanted to support his grandfather to worship Sanqing.

Kong Kejian backed away desperately, but refused to bow. At the same time, he was as frightened and restless as a child.

"This master, is..."

Deng Zhongxiu probably guessed what the family was thinking, so he took the initiative to ask.

Kong Fu took Deng Zhongxiu's words and said:
"This little Taoist priest, my master has been foolish for a while, and seems to have lost his soul. I don't know if the master of the expensive Taoist temple can call my master's soul?

Rest assured, money is definitely not an issue! "

Deng Zhongxiu was slightly pleasantly surprised when he heard this.

Since he took care of this Taoist temple, except for the sale of Changfu, he has not done much related to Taoist priests.

It's not that I want to make money, but I'm afraid that I won't find professional value.

"Well, it's not impossible to be called a soul, but my knowledge is shallow, so I still have to ask my temple master!"

"Please be sure to ask your temple master to say that we are very sincere!"

Seeing that Deng Zhongxiu did not refuse, Fu Bo and Kong Na were ecstatic.

It's not that they believe in ghosts and gods, but that they are really desperate.

Deng Zhongxiu asked them to wait outside, and went in to find Zhang Yi by himself.

At this time, Zhang Yi was watching the refinement of allicin while compiling his textbook.

Compilation of mathematics textbooks is not difficult, he just needs to recall it.

What really slows him down is to remove or replace things that are not suitable for this era with a similar background.

When Zhang Yifen was writing quickly, Deng Zhongxiu came to report.

"What, someone is looking for my soul? Don't go..."

Zhang Yi refused without even thinking about it. How could he know what soul art is?

Deng Zhongxiu had no choice but to go out and reply to the Kong family.

Seeing that the owner here is unwilling to help, Kong Fu and Kong Na look forward to Zhang Yi's ability even more.

"Please tell the viewer that we are very sincere!"

Kong Fu searched around, found a tael of silver for Deng Zhongxiu and handed it over, but Deng Zhongxiu politely refused.

Kong Na was in a hurry, he didn't bring much money with him, but he had a jade pendant close to his body!

"This jade is my personal belonging, and it is also worth several hundred taels of silver. Please tell the master here, we are very sincere, but this jade pendant can be kept here for the time being!"

Deng Zhongxiu was very embarrassed, so he entered the yard and handed the jade pendant to Zhang Yi.

"Didn't you say no?"

Zhang Yi was helpless, he was not short of money now, and even if he was short of money, he didn't want to make money by bluffing and deceiving.

Just touching the jade pendant, Zhang Yi was stunned.

Immediately he laughed: "It really is a big fat sheep, senior brother, hurry up and take me to see that... Young Master Bai!"

Kong Na and Kong Mansion were waiting anxiously in the main hall with Kong Kejian.

At this time, he saw Deng Zhongxiu and a person walking out from the inside.

Deng Zhongxiu was in front, and he didn't see the face of the man behind him for a while, but he just felt that the man was a little short.

The next moment, when Zhang Yi's face appeared in front of Kong Na, Kong Na's expression changed drastically, and he turned around and ran while helping his grandfather.

"Brother Bai, Brother Bai, Benefactor Bai..."

Seeing Kong Na, Zhang Yi smiled very happily.

"Why did you leave when you came, and the poor way still wants to call the soul of your grandpa..."

The more he talked, the faster Konne walked!
