People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 244 The Rising Dragon and Tiger Mountain, the Transformation of the Celestial Master
"Father, why do you come to Yongshou Palace instead of going back to report your safety?"

After some time, the donkey cart of Qingxin Temple gradually approached a Taoist temple.

Zhang Yi raised the curtain and looked into the distance, as if he wanted to connect the current Yongshou Palace with the Chaotian Palace he had seen in later generations.

However, there are not many similar memories between the two, because Chaotian Palace in later generations is much larger than Yongshou Palace.

The Yongshou Palace at this time can be regarded as a good Taoist temple at best.

But this is already one of the best Taoist temples in Yingtian. In the era when the Buddha is strong and the Dao is weak, it sticks to the facade of Taoism.

But Zhang Yi knew that Lao Zhang definitely didn't bring him to see Yongshou Palace.

The situation in Yongshou Palace at this time is definitely not good.

After the emperor gave the order, the people from the Ministry of Punishment and the Military Division came faster than they expected.

At this time, the Yongshou Palace was full of wailing sounds.

"Don't go out of poverty!"

"Pin Dao doesn't want to leave..."

"Your Majesty, forgive me, Your Majesty, forgive me!"

Dongmo Lichun, the weather is still cold...

Many Taoists in thin clothes left Yongshou Palace under the escort of officers and soldiers.

They were shivering from the cold, but compared to the despair in their eyes, these pains were nothing at all?
"Yongshou Palace's upper and lower Xuanjiao scoundrels deceive the emperor and punish the three clans!"

"Emperor's order, a thorough investigation of Xuanjiao believers..."

The adults of the Ministry of Justice shouted in the snow.

Only then did Zhang Yi learn about the news in the palace. It turned out that not only the Taoists of Yongshou Palace who framed his father were liquidated, but even the followers of Xuanjiao were included in the liquidation list of the emperor.

It was expected that Xuanjiao, which was too close to the previous dynasty, would be liquidated by the Ming emperor.

However, exiting in such a tragic way was a scene that had never appeared in the history he had experienced before!

Because of the butterfly effect, I brought myself to this tragic ending.

Looking at these dying people, Zhang Yi was a little shocked.

But when he looked up, Lao Zhang's expression was far more complicated than his. He was a little scared and his body was shaking!
But finally, after taking a deep breath, Lao Zhang calmed down!

Metamorphosis?

This term should not appear on the 40-year-old Zhang Normal, but this is how Lao Zhang feels to Zhang Yi.

Those Taoist priests of Xuanjiao, escorted by officers and soldiers, passed by their carriages.

When they saw Zhan standing on a high place normally, they were either ashamed or cursed.

The Taoist who cursed was quickly pressed down by the officers and soldiers.

Lao Zhang was a little uncomfortable when he was scolded, but he seemed to think of something, and his eyes became firm.

"Little Deng, you return to the Pure Heart Temple and report to Master Mistress and the others!

I will walk with your junior brother! "

Lao Zhang dismissed Deng Zhongxiu casually, and then signaled to Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi obediently followed behind Zhang Normal, this time he did not play tricks or pretend to be smart.

This road is not easy,

Xuanjiao has been operating in Yongshou Palace for many years, and Taoists have been brought out from the Taoist temple one after another.

When they saw Zhang Normal, the hatred in his eyes was enough to kill a person.

Going all the way to the entrance of the Taoist temple, the father and son went in.

Lao Zhang, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said the first sentence when he came here:

"Today, Pindao thought he almost died..."

Zhang Yi heard the words and listened quietly.

"I took over the position of 42 generations of celestial masters from my father, and this journey has been smooth!

The Mongols' favor to the Zhang family has lasted for nearly a hundred years, and no one has deliberately targeted Longhushan!

Although the dynasties have changed, our Zhang family has its use value. Your father and I think that our vision is also accurate, and we successfully beat Hongwu Yebao!
Although the new dynasty didn't start well, at least Pindao can pack up and return to Longhu Mountain intact!

You also know what happened next, although there are waves, they are all without danger!

Until today, Pindao didn't understand the cruelty of the court!
Those big shots really turned black and white!

Whether it is a scholar or a monk, they are all fighting for each other's interests!
Your father and I are not pretending to be lofty, even poor people fight!

But there is a bottom line for everything, those people are really killing people..."

When Zhang Normal said this, his voice was trembling.

The fragility in his heart was undisguised in front of Zhang Yi.

At this time, there are only father and son, and he doesn't need to hold the airs of being the head teacher and the leader of the Taoist sect.

Zhang Yi smiled. His father at this time was a little timid, but very real.

Where are the immortals, everyone is just a mortal.

Ever since Zhang Lu, the old Zhang family has stayed away from politics intentionally or unintentionally.

Even if the emperor favors him, most of the celestial masters will guard the one-acre and three-point fields of Longhu Mountain.

The advantage brought by this ancestral precept is that the heavenly masters of the past dynasties stayed away from the court, and the Zhang family, like the Kong family, also escaped the suffering of changing dynasties by virtue of this detachment.

But this ancestral precept will also bring sequelae.

That is the Zhang family who have never experienced the dangers of the court, their political IQ, and their understanding of the dangers of the court,
Actually not too high.

Usually they have status, even the emperor is polite to him.

Who would have thought that a knife would be so close to him?

The time when the emperor seized the position of Celestial Master, and the time when the courtiers used the Kong family to launch an attack, Zhang Tongwei probably didn't have a deep understanding of it, because none of those battles really wanted Lao Zhang's life.

But this time is different, Yang Xian's accusations point to the foundation of the old Zhang family.

Although Zhang Yi knows from the perspective of God that Zhang Normal will never die, at most he will be deprived of his status as a real person.

But from the perspective of an outsider who has not experienced a few sinister political struggles, his fear is natural.

On this point, Lao Zhang is actually no different from Kong Kejian.

Even, he may not be as good as Kong Kejian,

After all, Lao Kong was also the Minister of Rites in the previous dynasty. '

Kong Kejian was driven crazy by Master Hongwu, and if it wasn't for Zhang Yi's psychological treatment, he would be completely stupid now.

It's normal for Zhang to escape from the dead, and some feelings are normal.

Zhang Yi also understands that now is not the time for him to show off, be a good listener, and Dad will wake up on his own.

"You old man, I am afraid of death!

The orthodoxy that my ancestors gave me, I lost my celestial master position, but I can't even lose the orthodoxy!

I don't even want, because of me, the good life you should have had, like those people outside the Taoist temple, will pass away from now on..."

When Zhang normal faced up to his fear, there was an unprecedented light in his eyes.

"Poverty is still too reasonable, if I don't fight, those people will kill me!
Gao Yonghe Xuanjiao is like this, and so is Huitan!

He wants to fight for those loess, and the poor way understands him!
After all, both Buddhism and Taoism have their own interests!

But in order to fight for this little thing, he wanted to put the poor to death, so he had to avenge the poor!

My majesty on Mount Longhu shouldn't be trampled on like this!

Our Longhu Mountain should also have its own majesty..."

The moment Lao Zhang said these words, a killing intent surrounded him.

His blood was full of enthusiasm, but Zhang Yi's words chilled his heart.

"Well, Dad, you have finally grown up..."

Old Zhang turned back in anger, he had been brewing his emotions for a long time, and was almost blocked by this brat's words.

But looking at Zhang Yi's smile, Zhang Normal felt inexplicably at ease.

Compared to himself, maybe Zhang Yi is more like the Dinghaishenzhen of the old Zhang family.

Whether it is the emperor's gaze or his own abilities, they are much stronger than his own father.

Just ...

Lao Zhang raised his hand and gave Zhang Yi a brainstorm:
"No big or small, no respect!"

"The adult world is very cruel, welcome to the adult world..."

Old Zhang was not very strong, and Zhang Yi also felt his father's love and care, but he was mean, and he didn't know how much he weighed if he didn't piss off Old Zhang.

"However, this hatred really has to be avenged!"

Zhang Yi quickly changed the topic before Lao Zhang got angry.

Zhang normal asked curiously:

"How are you going to take revenge, and who are you going to take revenge on?"

Zhang Yi laughed:
"One counts as one, don't run away!
But we can't do things like murder and arson...

The emperor's eyes and ears are all over the capital, so let's start with Master Huitan!

If Yang Xian has the opportunity, he will also settle accounts with him! "

He was clearly an official appointed by the imperial court, but Zhang Yi said it calmly.

Lao Zhang was about to ask a few more questions, but Zhang Yi pointed to an empty space in the Taoist temple and said:

"Father, don't worry about it, you should deal with the Yongshou Palace first..."

Fengshentai!
Zhang Yi's proposal to Lao Zhang is the key to his regaining the right to pay homage to heroes this time.

The people from the Ministry of Industry did not dare to be negligent this time, and the emperor planned to worship the heavens on the fifteenth day of the year, conferring gods on behalf of the heroes.

And the location is in Yongshou Palace!

And the loess from the ancient battlefield will be stored here.

This political show is also the epitome of the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism.

For the benefit of Buddhism, Master Huitan wanted to prevent this ceremony from being held in the hands of Longhushan, because Buddhism did not want to see the rise of Taoism.

In the same way, as long as Lao Zhang manages this Dharma meeting well, it will be beneficial to the entire Taoist sect!

"For the Conferred God Ceremony on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, it is probably impossible to build a serious Conferred God Platform!
But even if it's a desk repaired by the Ministry of Industry, the details must be mastered by my father!

This is a rare opportunity for me to grow face in Longhu Mountain and even the whole Taoist sect in 80 years. If you do this first, it will be the best counterattack against Tianjie Temple!

Especially the belief of the Medicine King Taishang must be snatched away!

These few days, Dad, don't be idle, the troupe we invited should still be in touch, add money, let them come to Yongshou Palace for extra performances!

Pass on the belief of Medicine King! "

The so-called troupe is an idea that Zhang Yi came up with in a pure heart a while ago.

His opera has long been paid for to be sung by others!
Nowadays, the opera about Laojun descending to earth to enlighten Master Zhang is very popular in Yingtianfu.

The libretto sung in the dialect of the Central Plains is inexplicably magical.

Zhang Yi struck while the iron was hot, and asked the troupe to change the tune of Jiangnan dialect, following the mass line.

At this time, spring has not yet begun, and the people have nothing to do.

Except for some people who are in corvee, the big guys are idle anyway.

The ancients lacked entertainment items, and there was a place to listen to music for free, which was crowded with people.

Zhang Yida's New Year's Eve is full of excitement, this time he plans to make things bigger!
"What are you going to do?"

"Take the stage and sing!

But that's not enough, I'm going to prepare a lunch for the common people!
Let them all stay in Yongshou Palace honestly for us, and hear about the reincarnation of His Majesty Hongwu, and about the visit of the King of Medicine to our Zhang family...

This is not enough, I will find a few more storytellers and try to write some short stories!

It doesn't matter whether it is the king of medicine or the allusions of Taoism!
Turn it into a story that can be passed on by word of mouth, and then spread it! "

Zhang Normal was dumbfounded, and the unconstrained and unconstrained ideas in Zhang Yi's brain really came out one after another.

Since ancient times, only pilgrims have rushed to Taoist temples to send money.

But there is no reason for Taoism to stick to the common people.

Lao Zhang told Zhang Yiyi this, and Zhang Yi rolled his eyes:
"Father, do you feel bad for this porridge money? I'm planning to draw a lottery..."

lottery?

Lao Zhang felt that he couldn't keep up with Zhang Yi's thinking, so what's the meaning of this lottery draw?
"In short, you draw a batch of talismans with your own hands, and then let the people who listen to the music draw three talismans every day, and we will give you some benefits, about a few catties of grain!
Don't all the people in this ten-mile radius come to us?

This kind of method is called drainage in later generations. If you give up a little money, you can get people to come to our side!

You think, if more people come to Yongshou Palace, will there be fewer pilgrims going to Tianjie Temple and other famous temples? "

Zhang nodded normally, which seemed to make sense.

'

"Actually, the people of China are the most realistic, don't look at them asking gods and Buddhas for something, if there is nothing wrong, they don't even bother to talk to ghosts and gods!

So, if you want to gather incense, you need to use profit!

But what good is that?

As long as the people can be happy here with us, they will be satisfied!

You said they went home to worship the medicine king or Amitabha?

There is a saying in Buddhism, first seduce with desire!
We are recruiting students from Buddhism, first hook people over!
How much do you think a day's porridge and rice can have?How much money do you collect incense a year?

If it is ten points to collect incense, one or two points will be allocated to invite the opera troupe to sing and serve the common people!
It's good for everyone to celebrate the New Year happily!

In the coming year, will they come to Yongshou Palace, or to Tianjie Temple? "

Zhang normally couldn't understand, but said he was greatly shocked.

After all, the drainage ideas of the Internet are too advanced for people of this era.

Faith is high above, compassion for all beings.

No one has ever thought of using profit to attract traffic!

"Didn't daddy want to disgust that Huitan? I'll write a book later, let's find someone to tell a story. He likes to murder our family's medicine king, so we will disgust his two immortals!"

"What book are you going to write?"

Zhang Normal asked curiously.

"According to the scene, the list of gods..."

The book "Journey to the West" has already been published by Zhang Yi, but he hasn't published "Feng Shen Yan Yi".

Originally, I planned to talk about it after the Chinese New Year, but Huitan and Yang Xian had abused this big Chinese New Year, and Zhang Yi had no reason not to take revenge.

Draining, "Fengshen Yanyi" is just a small lesson Zhang Yi gave Huitan.

Looking back, what he has to do is the key!

At this time, Lao Zhang was already convinced by Zhang Yi's methods.

No matter how wild Zhang Yi's idea is, Lao Zhang dares to give it a try.

"Just do as you said, tomorrow I will invite a decree to recruit Zhengyi disciples from other Taoist temples in the capital to come to Yongshou Palace to support the scene!
I will do my best to carry out your request. Dad is waiting for you to help him out!
Pindao couldn't wait to see that guy Huitan's distraught face! "

Lao Zhang excitedly patted Zhang Yi on the shoulder, and Zhang Yi rolled his eyes.

It's enough for you to respect me in terms of personality, don't really treat me like a child, can you?
If we hadn't practiced this before, I'm afraid I'd be crippled by you?

Zhang Yi replied angrily:
"There is something that you have to solve as soon as possible..."
