Here, Ma Yuanyi entered the back room, and a few of his followers who were behind the screen came over, all frowning. One of them, a Confucian scholar wearing a Jinxian crown, stepped forward and sighed:
"Senior brother, this punch is a bit difficult to handle. What should I do?"
Ma Yuanyi didn't say anything, just sitting on his horse in a daze. Suddenly he turned around and asked the Confucian scholar:
"Junior brother, why did you join Taiping Dao?"
The junior fellow apprentice was stunned, thought for a while, and replied:
"My brother lost his father when he was a child, and was bullied by his tribe. He died of hunger in the wild without enough food. He was saved by the great virtuous teacher Dao Zuo and raised by his side, so he naturally entered the Tao of Taiping."
Ma Yuanyi shook his head and sighed:
"No, that's not the reason why you entered Taiping Dao. Why do you have nothing to rely on? Just because of the collapse of human nature in this world, what is human nature? Having enough food and warm clothes should be enough for you when you are young and support me when you are old.
But if you look at this world again, the evil spirits are blocked and it is a violation of human relations and the behavior of animals. There is no closeness between father and son, no loyalty between monarch and ministers, no distinction between husband and wife, no distinction between elder and younger, and no trust in friends.
And I, the Tao of Taiping, am here to rectify the pure and clear up the turbid, and create peace for the world. This is the reason why you and I joined the Tao of Taiping."
His junior brother understood this and stopped being respectful and said coldly:
"Senior brother, that's not what the master said. I advise senior brother to think about it more. Don't make mistakes and ruin the relationship between master and disciple."
Upon hearing what his junior brother said, Ma Yuanyi clenched his fist and sighed:
"Of course I am loyal to my master, but I am even more loyal to my ambition, Huang Tianzhi. This time, my master has gone astray. Is it because of the three crimes of Tang and Zhou that he wants to punish Zhang Chong? It is just to suppress the Lord and others.
The public and the two dharma lineages. Before the great cause has been established, they are trying to seize power. I don’t know whether this is the intention of my master, or whether it is the hands of you disciples."
The junior brother got angry and vomited five words:
"Brother, please be careful what you say."
Ma Yuanyi was also shocked. He knew that he had said something that violated taboos, so he did not say anything. For a while, all the brothers and fellow disciples stopped talking and were silent.
When Ma Yuanyi entered the inner room, the commanders in the hall began to divide into three groups and started chatting.
The first wave was Ji Sun, Guan Hai, Xu He, and Zhang Chong. They were all familiar with each other. Now they got together and started to chat. Of course, the main thing was to talk about Zhang Chonggang's response.
It's Guan Hai again. He slapped his chest with pain, saying that he had been very optimistic about you before. If you can enter Mount Taishan alone and stand up on your own, you are a hero.
This was the first time for Zhang Chong to meet this Beihai Guan Hai, but he was very familiar with this man. Historically, he was defeated by Liu Bei and his whereabouts are unknown.
In Zhang Chong's opinion, Guan Hai was heroic and a good friend. He was also very comfortable talking to him and had a good temper. The two naturally talked happily.
And Xu He, who is in yellow and stands next to Guan Hai, is also an old friend of Zhang Chong, so Zhang Chong and the four of them are laughing constantly and showing sincere affection.
There was another wave of people on the opposite side. Tang Zhou spoke to Zhang Rao in a low voice with a gloomy face, and looked in Zhang Chong's direction from time to time. And there was a wave of people on the side, including Sima Ju of Qi State and Guan Cheng of Donglai.
Don’t rely on anyone, just pour and drink for yourself.
When Tang Zhou saw this, his eyes lit up and he was about to leave his seat and walk to Sima Juna. Suddenly Zhang Chong stepped forward and blocked Tang Zhou.
Tang Zhou was so frightened that he almost called someone, because he had seen Zhang Chong's fight with ten and knew how brave he was. If he was as stupid as Guan Hai, he wouldn't just have a green eye.
Zhang Chong was actually staring at Tang Zhou from the corner of his eye. As soon as he saw Tang Zhou approaching Sima Ju, he guessed that he wanted to contact Sima Ju. Zhang Chong happened to have something to say to Tang Zhou, so he blocked Tang Zhou directly.
The road of Zhou.
Seeing that Tang Zhou was so frightened, Zhang Chong despised him and felt angry, but he also had some confidence in what was going to happen next.
He looked at Tang Zhou with a smile, and then suddenly whispered to Tang Zhou:
"Old Tang, he embezzled five million yuan. Does the great sage know this?"
After hearing this, all the princes in Tang Zhou's hands fell to the ground.
Everyone was talking and joking among themselves, but suddenly they saw that Zhang Chong just whispered a word to Tang Zhou, and then dropped the prince to the ground. No one spoke for a while, but they all looked at Tang Zhou.
The atmosphere was solemn. Tang Zhou tried his best to smile and said with a smile:
"This little Zhang is very funny. I was caught off guard and made him laugh."
Then he bent down to pick up Jue from the wooden floor. Zhang Chong picked it up first and said to Tang Zhou:
"Lao Tang can think about it after a while, otherwise the great virtuous master will be very angry."
After saying that, Zhang Chong put the prince into Tang Zhou's arms and said loudly:
"Old Tang, if you keep making people laugh, you can't throw away this wine, otherwise you won't be able to drink from this cup again."
Then Zhang Chong stopped looking at Tang Zhou and slowly returned to Ji Sun and others, continued drinking and talking.
Only Tang Zhou was left kneeling down on the table in silence. Even Zhang Rao next to him had spoken to him several times, but he didn't realize it. Zhang Rao was so angry that he snorted and ignored him again.
After that, after a long meal, Ma Yuanyi from Lishe came out, and at the same time there was a man dressed as a Confucian scholar, whom everyone had never seen before.
As soon as this life came out, he had a gloomy face, glanced at Zhang Chong and said nothing.
Ma Yuanyi didn't introduce him to everyone, so he took this junior brother back to sit at the top.
After everyone had finished sitting, he asked Zhang Chong:
"Zhang Chong, do you really plead guilty?"
Zhang Chong stood up and said boldly:
"Be willing to be deposed and don't blame Huang Tian."
Then Ma Yuanyi continued to speak, and Tang Zhou, who was under his right hand, suddenly said loudly:
"Honored Sir, I feel that Zhang Chong is the essence of my teaching. As the saying goes, it is better to do good than to do wrong. Leaving Zhang Chong to pay for his crimes and perform meritorious service will further show the love among my Taiping Dao colleagues."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was confused. How could Tang Zhou be so easy to talk to?
Unexpectedly, when Ma Yuanyi, the leader, heard this, he stood up from the crowd. He pointed at Zhang Chong and praised:
"Today, I have never heard of three merits. I only heard that there are three merits in this attack. The first merit is to be good at fighting without precedent; the second merit is to complain without hesitation; the third merit is to dare to be the first in the world.
I came here not to reprimand Zhang Chong, but to bring praise and praise. I had long heard from Third Master Uncle that Zhang Chong would be his disciple from now on, and I had long been curious about this unmasked junior brother. When I saw him today,
If he is extraordinary, he is the person I teach."
Then he said to Zhang Chong:
"Work hard, I hope you will not forget today's ambition, and remember that our way to peace is to seek from the straight rather than from the crooked."
After Zhang Chong heard this, he bowed deeply and said "Well."
Then Ma Yuanyi looked around at all the Qushuai present:
"I have often heard people say this strange thing in Hebei, saying that my great sage, Heavenly Master, is already at an advanced age, but can he still lead us to make the Taiping Road clear and clear from the turbid?
Today, I, Ma Yuanyi, am here to tell my colleagues in Qingzhou: In the past, Jiang Shang's father was ninety years old, and he fought with his sword and axe, but he never said he was old. My master inherited Huang Tian's order from above, and bore the spirit of thousands of people below him. If God's destiny is still there, why should he say that he is old?
Now that the Han Dynasty is over, can all our colleagues and servants achieve great achievements together?"
The leaders of all canals in Qingzhou stood up and sang:
