People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 223 Tool Man Zhang Yi, Miao Yun Wants to Cultivate Taoism

Mrs. Xie was shocked when she heard the words, the emperor is coming to Xu Mansion?
In her opinion, this is impossible, because if Xu Da is not around, the king will not come to Xu's house easily even from the perspective of avoiding suspicion.

"Are you sure?"

After all, Mrs. Xie is a woman, and he still has doubts about Gao Jianxian's identity.

Moreover, Gao Jianxian, as the head of the inspection school, really doesn't know many people.

Gao Jianxian was in a hurry. If he hadn't had some reason, he would have almost called out the inspector of Xu's mansion to testify for himself.

He was spanked by the emperor for his poor performance last time. He didn't want to be punished by the emperor as the year approached, and his ass was bloody for the new year.

"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, Mrs. Xie listens!"

The tougher Gao Jianxian acted, the more Mrs. Xie felt that he was real.

She quickly knelt down and listened to the will.

"The emperor's oral order: I will come to the Xu Mansion with another identity in a while, and I must not reveal my identity, and those who violate it will be punished!"

"That's it?"

This inexplicable verbal order made Xie look dumbfounded.

Xu's girl was also stunned, but she reacted earlier than Xie.

The corner of her mouth curled up, and she quickly pushed Xie Shi.

"Mom, you still haven't received the order?"

"oh oh……"

Xie received the order in a daze, and Gao Jianxian heaved a sigh of relief.

But he was still worried, and asked again:
"Keep a normal mind, what is usual, what is now!"

Zhang Yi knew him, and it was not good for him to stay in Xu Mansion, so he left quickly.

He came and went in a hurry, leaving Mrs. Xie unable to recover for a long time.

"Girl, what do you think this is?"

"Mother, according to my daughter's understanding, it should be that Uncle Emperor has some reason, or wants to come to our Xu Mansion with someone, this is not his original intention!

And he doesn't want to reveal his identity in front of the accompanying guests, so he came to inform us in Xu Mansion in advance!

So when we meet Uncle Emperor, just don't reveal your identity! "

After Xu Miaoyun explained, Mrs. Xie suddenly realized.

She suddenly lost her size. She knew the emperor, but how did a woman deal with this kind of thing.

"Who is this who brought the emperor to our house? No, I'm going to make arrangements..."

The Xu family girl hurriedly stopped her:
"Mother, Your Majesty said to keep quiet, you deliberately arranged, didn't you spoil His Majesty's business?
Let's just stay and sit with peace of mind. What happens at ordinary times, what happens now, we'll talk about it when His Majesty the Emperor comes to visit! "

It is precisely the most difficult thing to be normal.

Mrs. Xie lost her backbone, so she hurriedly asked the girl of the Xu family:

"anything else?"

"People who have seen His Majesty the Emperor, don't let them show up, my brother has seen His Majesty, so mother should let my brother not come out of the inner courtyard!
After all, His Majesty does not want too many people to know about this matter, so..."

"Yes, yes, I will lock up your brother right now!"

Under Xu Miaoyun's command, the Xie family began to hide all factors that might expose the emperor.

After finishing all this, the Xu family girl continued to listen to her mother's teachings, but the Xie family had long since lost the peace of the past.

As time passed, Zhang Yi's carriage finally stopped at the gate of Xu's residence.

There is a big "Xin Guogong Mansion" plaque at the door, and Lao Zhu has mixed feelings.

He has been to Xu Da's house many times, but it is also the first time he has come to Xu Da's house, and he is still a little nervous.

When the two got out of the car, Lao Zhu caught sight of Gao Jianxian poking his head out of the alley not far away from the corner of his eyes, and felt relieved.

Gao Jianxian has been with him for many years, and he is generally at ease in handling affairs.

According to the etiquette, Zhang Yi sent a greeting card.

The officials of the Xu Mansion accepted it respectfully, and then went to report it.

Zhang Yi turned around and said to Old Zhu:
"Look at the people in charge of Xu's mansion, they are all different from other officials. A servant in Chang's mansion is extremely arrogant..."

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao couldn't laugh or cry.

Didn't he forget to pull Changfu out to be beaten?

However, with Zhang Yi's endorsement, Zhu Yuanzhang's trust in Xu Da became more and more profound.

Needless to say, Zhang Yi ensured that the Xu family's incense would continue, which proved that the Xu family was on the side of the emperor for at least a long time.

As for Changfu, thinking of Changmao, Lao Zhu couldn't get angry.

When the father and son were struggling, the butler invited the three of them in.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Biao to take the gift, and several people entered Xu's mansion under the guidance of the housekeeper.

This is Zhang Yi's first time entering the Xinguo Mansion.

He looked around, Xu Da's mansion of the Duke of Xin, compared to his status as a Duke, was honestly a bit shabby.

His family's house was obviously also bestowed by the emperor, and it was probably the residence of a rich family or a high-ranking official in the previous dynasty.

But the predecessor of Nanjing is Jiqing Road, even if there are wealthy households and high-ranking officials, they are not so high, which makes the specifications of Xu Mansion seem a bit insufficient.

Moreover, Zhang Yi can see from many details that Xu Da did not make too many repairs to the mansion.

This is in line with the characteristics of those Xu Xungui in the early Ming Dynasty, that is, they are relatively simple.

He didn't go far when he saw Mrs. Xie and sister Xu's coming to welcome her.

Mrs. Xie's complexion was a little bad, but the girl from the Xu family laughed and said Yanyan.

Zhang Yi found that the two of them coincidentally fixed their eyes on Huang He behind him.

"Brother Zhang!"

Although I had already reminded the Xu family, but human instincts made Xie and Xu's girl pay attention to him at the first time.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little annoyed by Xie's performance, what should Zhang Yi do if he found out?
Fortunately, that girl from Xu's family was smart, so she trotted all the way and threw herself into Zhang Yi's arms immediately.

That action is very intimate.

But it just interrupted the suspicion rising in Zhang Yi's heart.

Zhang Yi was confused by the inexplicable enthusiasm of the Xu family girl, everyone was a little fox.

He knew the true face of Xu Miaoyun, this girl was a precocious person just like him.

This childishness is really abnormal.

"It's rare that Brother Zhang is free today. Are these two relatives you mentioned?"

The Xu family girl naturally brought the topic to Zhu Yuanzhang.

,

Only then did Xie come back to her senses, she squeezed out a smile and said to Zhang Yi;
"You child, don't tell me in advance when you bring distinguished guests here, so that auntie can prepare some wine and food for you!"

Xie resisted the urge to kneel and kowtow to the emperor, just pretending that he didn't see Zhu Yuanzhang and his son.

Zhang Yi said:
"Don't dare to bother Auntie, Auntie doesn't blame Xiaodao for suddenly coming to disturb me, let me introduce to Auntie, this is my father's friend and my uncle Huang He who is very close to me!
This is his eldest son Huang Mu! "

eldest son?

The girl from the Xu family and Mrs. Xie only noticed at this moment that Zhu Biao was covering his face with a few pieces of cloth.

His Royal Highness is here?

Xie Shi's legs softened a bit.

"I'm Huang He, I've met the Duke's wife, miss!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Xie finally entered the role, he also found this experience quite interesting.

He was very interested and saluted Mrs. Xie and the girls of the Xu family.

It took Xie a lot of strength to suppress her urge to kneel down.

She took a deep breath and replied lightly:
"Since it's the little real person's friend, it's also one of our own. Let's stop standing here, go in and sit down!"

Lead everyone to the living room.

Zhang Yi asked:
"I don't know how the poor uncle used the medicine last time?"

When Mrs. Xie heard this, a gleam of joy appeared in the corner of her eyes:
"There are family members in front of us reporting that my master's condition has improved greatly!
All of this is due to the Taoist priest. I originally planned to go to the Taoist temple to thank you in a few days, and to fulfill my wish to the master by the way! "

"Fulfill your wish?"

Zhang Yi was puzzled, what does taking the medicine have to do with fulfilling the wish?
"Speaking of which, it's thanks to my daughter's reminder..."

Mrs. Xie looked at Xu's girl and said with a smile:
"Although I was praying for medicine in the Pure Heart Contemplation, I was praying to the Bodhisattva for the master's peace!

My niece reminded me that one thing should not bother two masters, so I asked someone to invite out the image of Zhunti Bodhisattva, and I only worshiped the Three Purities!
For a while now, my daughter and I have devoted ourselves to worshiping the King of Medicine, Taishang, and reciting the Tao Te Ching and "True Sutra of the Wonderful Law of the Microcosmic World by the Taishang".

Now that the master has recovered, I will naturally go to fulfill my wish..."

Zhang Yi: ...

What the hell is the medicine king?

He thought about it for a while, aftertaste,

Speaking of which, in order to promote the vaccination method, Zhang Yi casually wrote "The Sutra of the Great Law of the Microcosmic World", which accidentally aroused the belief of the Supreme Being.

Folk belief does not mean that the higher your status in the religion, the better.

In China's thousands of years of history, Buddhism has been suppressed by Taoism in the folk area.

Especially the Buddhist and Taoist debate that directly benefited the old Zhang family at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty. Buddhism defeated the Quanzhen way so hard that the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty gave up the Quanzhen way and fully supported the old Zhang family.
But don't look at the Taoism led by the old Zhang family, which has the same scenery for a while, but among the people, the Taoism led by the old Zhang family is not as good as Buddhism as a whole.

Since the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, the two Bodhisattvas, Amitabha and Zhunti, have prevailed in faith, and the addition of Guanyin Bodhisattva has overwhelmed almost all other gods.

Therefore, in the novel "Feng Shen Yan Yi" written by Yuan Ming Dynasty, the leading Taoist and Zhunti Taoist are the leaders of Western religions!
The background behind this is the popularity of Amitabha and Zhunti beliefs!

In order to promote the vaccination method, Zhang Yi produced a book "True Sutra of the Great Law of the Microcosm of the Taishang", which accidentally aroused belief in the Taishang Laojun.

Because the vaccination method solved the ancient problem of smallpox, this kind of merit that can be seen with the eyes has aroused great enthusiasm among the common people.

This kind of enthusiasm feeds back into faith, making Taishang belief popular.

The common people's simple cognition also stripped the other divinity of the Taishang Laojun, and focused on saving suffering.

The King of Medicine, Taishang, is a new god created by the simple beliefs of the common people.

Zhang Yi had heard of this name before, but he didn't take it to heart.

He doesn't play with religion, so naturally he doesn't care much about religion, but today he saw that Mrs. Xie worshiped the King of Medicine, but he thought of Lao Zhang and Zhang normal far in the north.

What is the king of medicine, it is the outlet!

If used well, pigs can fly on the tuyere.

Song Lian said that compared with the emergence of famous monks in the early Ming Dynasty, only Zhang Yuchu could fight in the entire Taoist sect.

This also indirectly proved the embarrassment of Daomen.

Now that Taishang believes in it, as a Taoist priest himself, although he has no intention of messing around in the Taoist sect, he can help his father and elder brother!

Zhang Yi has already decided to write a letter to retire Zhang and his eldest brother to take advantage of the opportunity of Yaowang Taishang.

High or low, he also wants to push his father to the high position.

But right now, it's not the time to think about it.

Zhang Yi looked at Xu Miaoyun suspiciously, what the hell is this girl doing?

Is she still interested in Daomen?
Empress Xu in history has never heard of her being so fond of it. Could it be that she was fooled by herself?

There was something weird about Xu's girl, and Zhang Yi didn't have time to think about it.

He took Xie's words and said:

"As long as Auntie has a heart!"

Zhang Yi pointed to Lao Zhu and said:
"My two uncles came to Yingtian from Wudi to do business. They are unfamiliar with the place, and there are always people who bully them."
But these little troubles, uncle can always solve 1
Only some government brats are hard to deal with!
Bringing them to visit the Xu Mansion today is to use the majesty of the Xu Mansion to frighten Xiaoxiao!
But Xiaodao also knows that General Xu Da cherishes his reputation, so Xiaodao promises here that his uncle will never use the Xu family to do anything wrong in the future!
If so, Auntie can handle it herself! "

Zhang Yi understood from the very beginning that Xu Da's reputation was not easy to use!

Whatever uncle wants to do, the backer behind him must be better than Xu Da.

But Zhang Yi also knows that it is difficult for a businessman in this era. Sometimes the backer you choose may not be your backer.

Even a backer can be a disaster when you meet a greedy person.

And linking Huang He and his son with the Xu Mansion, even if they don't need their help, the name of the Xinguo Mansion can deter Xiaoxiao on the one hand, and on the other hand, at critical moments, if Huang He's backers bully them, Xu The government can also help.

Zhang Yi doesn't have many relatives and friends in this world.

The Huang family and his son can be regarded as relatively close ones. He has resources and connections, so he will naturally help if he can.

He said all the rules, firstly, to hope that Mrs. Xie can rest assured, and secondly, to remind the Huang family and his son not to cross the line.

Mrs. Xie was very satisfied with Zhang Yi's proposal.

But now, after she knew that the person Zhang Yi wanted to help find a backer was the emperor, she never dared to boast that she was covering Zhu Yuanzhang.

Xie and the emperor looked at each other, forced a smile:
"I can't talk about helping. If there is a place in Xu's house that is useful in the future, this..."

"Huang He!"

"Master Huang can just order the Xu family!"

"Then thank you, Mrs. Duke!"

Lao Zhu got up and wanted to thank Mrs. Xie again, Mrs. Xie was about to cry.

As an emperor, if you want to play cross-dressing, you can play with you. Don't come to my house?

She didn't dare to let her accept the emperor's thanks carelessly, but she didn't dare to ruin the emperor's good deeds because she was too respectful.

Just when Mrs. Xie was in a dilemma, the girl from the Xu family made another effort.

"Brother Zhang, sister, I recently read the Daoist scriptures. I can't understand some places, can you help me look?

Mother is chatting with these two gentlemen, how about you go to the Taoist hall to help me? "

After she finished speaking, she went to pull Zhang Yi, very intimately.

Zhang Yi couldn't resist her, so he looked back at Lao Zhu.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xie said, if she was granted amnesty, she said:

"Little real person, why don't you go and help Miao Yun take a look, I'm chatting with the two gentlemen?"

Since Mrs. Xu said so, Zhang Yi asked the girl from the Xu family to take him into the backyard.

As soon as he left, Xie's legs went limp. She knelt on the ground and shouted:
"Greetings to the emperor, greetings to His Highness the Crown Prince..."

……

On the other side, the girl from the Xu family took Zhang Yi to the side courtyard. There was no one around, so Zhang Yi shook off her hand directly:
"Sister, what do you mean?"

"What do I mean? They just want to practice Taoism!"

The Xu family girl stopped pretending and smiled at Zhang Yi.

"You practice the way!"

Zhang Yi ruthlessly exposed her, but with a flash of inspiration, he probably understood what this girl meant.

She is so enthusiastic today, is she treating herself as a tool?
