People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

"To the outside world, shouldn't I be the one calling you Master?"

In front of Yao Guangxiao was a young monk facing the ancient Buddha with a green lantern.

He turned around, Yao Guangxiao tried to find the shadow of Zhang Yi on his face, but he could only marvel at the master's magical disguise technique.

He was stunned and didn't recognize Zhang Yi immediately.

However, Zhang Yi's voice and smart eyes could not deceive anyone.

"Fortunately, you gave me this address, otherwise I wouldn't know where to go?"

Zhang Yi stood up and looked at Yao Guangxiao.

The master and disciple looked at each other and smiled.

Zhu Yuanzhang still underestimated Yao Guangxiao after all, Zhang Yi couldn't help but sigh.

It is fair to say that Yao Guangxiao was unkind and unjust.

It would not be unfair to say that he is compassionate.

Lao Zhu saw Yao Guangxiao's unscrupulous side, but did not see through Yao Guangxiao's background.

Essentially, he is a madman.

But Zhang Yi is the only like-minded person in his world.

If the Xu family girl is Zhang Yi's Taoist companion, then Yao Guangxiao is Zhang Yi's Taoist companion.

He listened to Lao Zhu and distanced himself from Zhang Yi because he felt that his affairs had not been settled yet.

The so-called changing the world is not only Zhang Yi's ideal, but also the lunatic's in front of him.

There is also friendship between madmen and lunatics.

"You actually prepared this identity four or five years ago. Are you ready to run away at any time?"

Zhang Yi asked Yao Guangxiao with a smile, and Yao Guangxiao also squeezed out a smile on his face:

"Master, you know I have always wanted you to rebel...

If Hu Weiyong were you, this rebellion would definitely not stretch your hips like this...

If you can successfully rebel and implement our plan, it will be much smoother than His Majesty. "

The demon monk is still the same demon monk, always talking about rebellion.

"When you took over the construction of the city for me in Beijing, you left a lot of backup, right?"

Zhang Yi couldn't help but feel helpless when he heard Yao Guangxiao's unabashed voice.

This guy is definitely a psychopath and never forgets to rebel in everything.

"That's natural!

Master, just stay here with peace of mind. After a month or two, the apprentice will arrange an identity for you! "

Zhang Yi nodded, just a little confused.

"Master, do you regret it?"

Before Yao Guangxiao left, he couldn't help but ask.

Zhang Yi chuckled:

"I don't regret it. In fact, I have wanted to kick His Majesty's ass for a long time..."

……

"Why can't you find anyone...?"

Hongwu's sixteenth year, late spring.

Zhu Yuanzhang's roaring voice echoed in Wuying Hall.

Zhou Tong and others were silent, kneeling on the ground and trembling.

When the king is angry, the lives of these people are at risk at any time.

"Zhou Tong, could it be that you found someone but let me let him go?"

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhou Tong with evil eyes. When Zhou Tong heard this, his head was as big as a bucket.

Ever since Ling said he participated in the rebellion, Jin Yiwei's life has become worse day by day.

As a commander of the Royal Guards, he is walking on thin ice.

If the emperor's hat is removed, he will kill everyone in his family.

"Your Majesty, I have tried my best, but I have indeed not found the country's... sinner Zhang Yi!

From Beijing to Shanxi, we conduct control all the way!

But Zhang Yi just seemed to disappear, leaving no trace on the road..."

Zhou Tong quickly told the progress of his pursuit, and Zhu Yuanzhang also fell into deep thought.

He doesn't trust Jin Yiwei, so he naturally has a way to monitor Jin Yiwei.

So he knew that the news Zhou Tong said was true.

Did Zhang Yi just disappear like that, or did he really leave?

When Lao Zhu thought of this incident, he couldn't help but feel disappointed.

He turned around and saw Zhu Biao with a leisurely look on his face, unable to get angry at all.

"You are so ridiculous..."

Facing the emperor's accusation, the smile on Zhu Biao's face froze and changed into a serious look.

However, there was still a smile in his eyes, and by this time, he was no longer worried about Zhang Yi.

Zhu Biao didn't know what Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Yi said in the sea of ​​fire.

However, Zhang Yi's kick (many people saw the shoe prints on the emperor's butt, but tacitly understood it!) seemed to kick Zhu Yuanzhang's mentality back to before Hu Weiyong's rebellion.

Even Zhu Biao, his son, didn't like Lao Zhu's gloomy state in recent years.

But he was powerless to change the situation.

But the younger brother of the Zhang family is still the younger brother of the Zhang family. When it comes to dealing with the emperor, he is unrivaled in the world.

Naturally, he could see that Lao Zhu had long since lost his intention to kill Zhang Yi.

What he wasn't used to was Zhang Yi leaving so gracefully.

The more Zhang Yi acted like this, the deeper the guilt Zhu Yuanzhang felt in his heart.

And with this guilt, Lao Zhu felt uncomfortable all over.

"go out……"

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the door of the imperial study and asked Zhou Tong to leave.

When the father and son were left alone, Lao Zhu lowered his head and pondered.

"Tell me, is Zhang Yi still in the city?"

Zhu Biao was stunned by Zhu Yuanzhang's unbridled behavior.

It seems like this is really possible?

“Soldiers pay attention to virtuality and reality.

Although Zhang Yi is not a soldier, I have no doubts about this boy's military skills.

In full view of everyone, he escaped from the capital and couldn't run far!

On the contrary, staying in the capital can evade the most searches! "

Lao Zhu clarified his thoughts and suddenly became enlightened.

Zhu Biao was stunned and immediately fell into silence.

"But if he stays in the capital, he must have someone who can cover him up...

Xu Da, Zhou Tong, even...you..."

Lao Zhu thought of this and stared at Zhu Biao fiercely.

He finally saw that even if he wanted to kill Zhang Yi, there would still be a large group of people who were willing to do so.

Among them, the person with the greatest suspicion is his son.

As Zhang Yi's Huang brother, Zhu Biao is the person who least wants anything to happen to Zhang Yi.

"My son and I have no conscience in heaven and earth!"

Faced with Zhu Yuanzhang's doubts, Zhu Biao simply denied it.

He did not hide Zhang Yi, and he seemed magnanimous in denying it.

But a hint of worry flashed in Zhu Biao's eyes. It was really possible that the Zhang family's younger brother was hiding in the capital.

Now that the father has discovered it, what should we do if we find him?

"Father, didn't the Jinyiwei people also search the capital?"

Although it was certain that Zhang Yi had left the capital, Jin Yiwei was indeed searching in the city.

If Zhang Yi was really hiding there, he must have been found.

"But there are some people, Jin Yiwei, who didn't move...

Tell me, who protected that kid?

Xu Da? "

Excluding Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang first thought of Xu Da.

As Zhang Yi's father-in-law, he would definitely want to keep Zhang Yi, but Lao Zhu himself denied this idea.

Zhang Yi will not go to Xu Da, because if he drags Xu Da into the water, he will drag the Xu family girl on Longhu Mountain into the water as well.

Ever since he decided to teach himself a lesson, Zhang Yi has actually been controlling the intensity of the matter.

He expressed his determination to leave, but did not make Lao Zhu angry and angry at Longhu Mountain and his family.

Thinking of this, Lao Zhu became even more angry.

Only then did he realize that Zhang Yi was the one who could really control his mentality all these years.

No, we can't let this kid disappear like this.

Otherwise, I will be depressed for the rest of my life.

Chen Ke, Chen Man, Zhou Tong...

Zhu Yuanzhang checked all the people who had interacted with Zhang Yi over the years, but these people were all rejected by the emperor.

Zhou Tong and others may sympathize with Zhang Yi, but they will never dare to protect Zhang Yi.

They don't have that power, and they don't dare to risk the whole family to protect one person.

However, there is someone who seems to be able to...

"Yao Guangxiao!"

Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth!

……

"Master, you can leave now!"

Yao Guangxiao, who was being remembered by the emperor, was sitting across from Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi's appearance changed again in his eyes.

"I leave this reform to you..."

As parting was imminent, Zhang Yi seemed very relaxed.

He solemnly handed some information to Yao Guangxiao.

"These things are what you need in the future..."

Yao Guangxiao nodded slightly, even though he was as cold as he was, there was still some emotion on his face.

He and Master Zhang Yishi are also fellow Taoists.

If we say goodbye today, there is a high probability that we will say goodbye forever.

If Zhang Yi chooses to leave, he will not stay in the Central Plains.

And you have to carry the other person's expectations and keep moving forward.

"The disciple is here. I wish the master a safe journey!"

Zhang Yi nodded, took the things in his hands, and left without looking back.

After Zhang Yi left, Yao Guangxiao sat quietly in the temple. After a long time, the door opened...

The Jinyi Guards were armed with live ammunition and aimed at Yao Guangxiao.

"Very good, very good...I still underestimated you!"

The palace, the imperial study.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the books left by Zhang Yi, and then looked at Yao Guangxiao with a calm face, and he was about to explode with anger.

"If I hadn't checked back and seen that you have used your authority over the years to prepare many directions and ultimatums, I wouldn't have known you were planning this?

Yao Guangxiao, are you really not afraid of death? "

Lao Zhu's eyes fell on Yao Guangxiao with murderous intent.

Yao Guangxiao smiled calmly:

"Outsiders say that the poor monk is a heartless and unrighteous person. This poor monk admits...

But Your Majesty should not think that the poor monk is a person who deceives his teachers and destroys his ancestors. "

Zhu Yuanzhang's anger was frozen on his face. He was actually a little embarrassed. Yao Guangxiao was clearly mocking him by driving a wedge between himself and Zhang Yi.

"The poor monk had his backbone, but the master was the only one who understood the poor monk and the one who changed his destiny.

Your Majesty has underestimated the poor monk, and also underestimated the people of the world..."

"Shut up, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious after being beaten by Yao Guangxiao.

Zhang Yi and his disciple are not good people.

He interrupted Yao Guangxiao's words, and his murderous intention became more intense.

But Yao Guangxiao smiled lightly and said:

"Your Majesty, you can take action now!"

After he finished speaking, he sat cross-legged on the ground, looking calm and calm.

Lao Zhu took a breath and almost died of anger from this monk.

"Kill your mother!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he took three steps at a time to lift Yao Guangxiao up and punch him in the face.

Yao Guangxiao suddenly suffered a bloody head.

"Where did he go?"

Zhu Yuanzhang pressed Yao Guangxiao, and Yao Guangxiao smiled calmly:

"Your Majesty, if you see Master, how will you behave?"

His words made Lao Zhu's fist stop in mid-air, and his whole body felt bad.

……

"Old man, be careful..."

Shuntian Mansion, on the official road to Tianjin.

An old Taoist almost fell down and was supported by kind-hearted people around him.

He thanked the passerby, and the man asked curiously:

"Taoist Priest, are you practicing in Zhengdao?"

The Taoist corrected him seriously:

"The poor Taoist is completely genuine, and the donor must never admit his mistakes..."

"Quanzhen Taoism, I haven't heard of it for a long time. Nowadays, most of the Taoist priests are Zhengyi Taoists!

Taoist priest, where are you going? "

"There is no purpose, just to travel around the world and see the mountains and rivers of China..."

"You have such a leisurely life in old age, but you are also lucky. In the early years, except for the Taoist priests of the Zhengyi sect, Your Majesty did not allow other Taoist priests to run around...

Over the years, we have still relaxed a little, but if the Taoist priest can get guidance, he is obviously not an ordinary person..."

The passers-by were very talkative and had a great time chatting with the old Taoist priest.

Finally, he remembered that he had not asked the name of the old Taoist priest in front of him.

"May I ask the Taoist priest's name and where to practice?"

"open……"

Just as the Taoist was about to answer, they all felt someone approaching quickly.

The leader was dressed in casual clothes, but the energy on his body did not look like that of ordinary people.

He walked up to the old Taoist with a strange look on his face.

However, the other party still lowered his head and bowed to the Taoist:

"I, Zhou Tong, have met the Taoist priest!"

The old Taoist was silent for a while and said:

"Zhou..., donor, what do you do for me?"

"My master, I would like to invite the Taoist priest to reminisce about the past..."

"I don't know, what is your father's surname?"

"The surname is Huang, the name is Huang He!"

When the old Taoist heard this name, he was silent for a long time.

Immediately he stood up and took the initiative to move in the direction of Zhou Tong.

The body and bones that were still a little immobile just now seemed to have become a different person.

The servant hurriedly followed, leaving the passersby looking confused.

"This old Taoist priest is not simple!"

"You obviously don't know me, why are you an old friend?"

Pedestrians expressed their confusion at this hazy conversation.

However, this episode is just a small bump in their journey.

But for some people, it is a fateful meeting.

The Taoist followed Zhou Tong to the barren mountains and ridges not far from the roadside, but someone cleared a field.

There are complete guards at the edge of the venue.

On the side of the road, there was a monk who looked very embarrassed.

The Taoist looked at him, his eyes had been beaten and the circles under his eyes were black, but the monk still had a sanctimonious demeanor, showing that he was very thick-skinned.

He glanced at Zhang Yi, his pupils dilated slightly, but then he chanted the Buddha's name and lowered his head.

The Taoist passed him and walked inside.

Inside was a pair of people dressed as merchants, one old and one young, who looked like father and son.

When he turned around, the two sides looked at each other speechlessly.

"Huang He again, don't you know his name?"

"Poverty, Zhang Sanfeng!"

Businessman Huang He suddenly laughed out loud when he heard Zhang Sanfeng's name.

It seemed that this name brought back his distant memory.

"While passing by here, I saw that the Taoist priest seemed to be an expert, so I took the liberty to invite the Taoist priest to come and give me a divination..."

Zhang Sanfeng nodded silently after hearing this.

"What does the donor want from divination?"

"Looking for someone!"

Huang He smiled lightly and said:

"The younger member of the family has run away from home, and the family is worried, so we have to look for him!"

The Taoist was silent for a while, pretending to count with his fingers:

"My old friend is gone, thousands of miles away!"

His words made Huang He's eyes look a little angry and a little sad.

He took a deep breath and asked:

"Is there any day to come back?"

"Everything in the world is unpredictable and unpredictable!"

"That's it, that's it..."

When Huang He heard this, Shenqing suddenly felt lonely. He pointed to the side, not knowing when the banquet was set up.

“If you want to leave, you can’t keep them!

Old Taoist Priest, let’s not mention him. Since we are destined to meet each other, how about staying for a drink? "

The Taoist nodded silently.

The two parties sat down, and Zhou Tong wanted to go up to serve, but was stopped by the man who looked like the young master.

The old Taoist drank wine with Huang He and listened to him telling a story about Zhang Yi.

This chat lasted for an hour.

Huang He finally became too drunk.

The Taoist just watched silently and said little.

Everyone present looked at the three people in the center with strange eyes, as if they were watching a tacit comedy.

"Every banquet in the world will come to an end, so I'm disturbing the Taoist priest!

May the road last forever, ride the wind thousands of miles, and be free and easy..."

When Huang He said this, the people around him breathed a sigh of relief.

Including Shopkeeper Huang’s children.

"Pindao also wishes Shopkeeper Huang to see through his inner demons and reconcile with himself! Reconcile with the world!"

After the Taoist finished speaking, he glanced at Huang Mu beside him and said nothing.

He turned around and left.

Huang He watched him go all the way. When he turned around, he gave Zhou Tong a look, and Zhou Tong chased after him.

"Father, is this all?"

When the Taoist walked away, the people around Huang He suddenly spoke.

"What can I do? Can I still kill him?

As Huang He, I dragged him into this world's chess game. Now, as Huang He, I might as well see him off in person! "

Lao Zhu's eyes were red and he took a deep breath.

"You remember when you drafted the decree, you said that Zhang Yi, the national master, has become an immortal. From now on, there will only be Zhang Sanfeng in the world..."

Zhu Biao knew that this was Zhu Yuanzhang wiping Zhang Yi's butt again, and nodded in agreement.

The emperor took the initiative to walk towards the carriage in the distance. When he got on the carriage, he missed his footing and Zhu Biao rushed to help him.

Lao Zhu was silent for a while, pushed Zhu Biao away and got into the car.

Zhu Biao was very sensible. He understood that the emperor needed to calm down and did not follow him.

"Brother Zhang, have a nice trip!"

His Royal Highness looked at Zhang Yi and Zhou Tong disappearing into the distance, sighed, and turned to leave.

At this time, Zhang Yi was also stopped by Zhou Tong.

"Old Taoist Priest..."

Zhou Tong called out to Zhang Yi, who turned around with a smile.

Although he knew the identity of the other party, Zhou Tong looked Zhang Yi up and down, and finally recognized the makeup on his face.

He marveled at the magic of makeup, one of the three major evil arts in Asia in later generations, but he did not reveal Zhang Yi's identity.

Zhu Yuanzhang said that Zhang Yi was dead, that is, he was dead.

From now on, if anyone says where Zhang Yi was found, he will be the one who dies.

"What's the donor's order?"

Zhou Tong quickly took out a box and said:

"My master said, this is the hexagram gold for the real person!"

Zhang Yi was slightly startled, how could he put it in a box?

You know, during the three or four years when he observed filial piety, Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes really became popular.

After he accepted it, Zhou Tong asked again:

"Old Taoist Priest, I also want to ask you about your future!"

"What the donor wants to ask, Pindao knows. Pindao's suggestion to the donor is that it is better to retreat bravely..."

After hearing this, Zhou Tong was thoughtful and immediately saluted Zhang Yi solemnly.

"If I can escape one day, Taoist Master will be my savior!"

He knew he shouldn't stay long, so he turned around and left.

After Zhang Yi watched him go away, he opened the box.

In the box, there are twelve pieces of silver.

Feeling something in his heart, he put the box down and faced the capital, kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times.

"Uncle Huang, we will never see you again!"
