Liu Mingzhi came back from his confusion and looked at Liu Zhian in surprise.
"Is the Taoist master Pu Zi you mentioned who once changed my life against heaven still alive?"
Liu Zhi'an shook his head silently and sighed: "The immortal has passed away for many years, otherwise I would just ask him directly if I have something to do. Why bother to go to the Taoist Xiangzi sect Li Buyi, the master of the Taoist Xiangzi sect, who sees the dragon but never ends?
.
In the twenty-sixth year of Xuande's reign, you were nineteen years old.
Your destiny was changed by Gong Puzi to the destiny of gathering water and wealth.
However, after changing his destiny against the will of heaven, his fortune was to die young and would not live past the age of twenty.
That is the twenty-sixth year of Xuande. This is the year that I and Gong Puzi agreed to meet again. It is about how to save your fate in case of premature death.
That year, you and Yun'er had a conflict in the Yanyu Pavilion and were beaten to death.
I couldn't help but implicated these two things together, and immediately sent Brother Liu Ye to find Gong Puzi who had agreed with me at all costs.
But what he finally brought back was the news that Gong Puzi had passed away with Huangzhou Lingyun Temple.
I and your mother were already in despair at that time, thinking that you really would not be able to escape your destiny and that you would not live to die young at the age of twenty.
I asked Liu Ye to visit the hermit master, but later you woke up safe and sound."
Liu Mingzhi looked at Liu Zhi'an with excitement in his heart and swallowed silently.
Is the theory of destiny really so effective?
That year happened to be the time when Liu Mingzhi’s soul returned to heaven, and it also happened to be the time when he came back from the dead!
Destiny, is there really such a thing as destiny in this world?
"What happened next?"
Liu Mingzhi himself didn't even notice that the tone of his words had changed.
"Later, after you woke up, I secretly sent someone to look for Li Buyi, the world-famous god, but this man was nowhere to be seen.
After all, I couldn't find his whereabouts.
Seeing that your body is recovering day by day and your energy is getting better, I feel relieved.
When I was sure that you were safe and sound, I originally wanted to avenge you and disappeared your father-in-law, Governor Qi, and his family into the south of the Yangtze River without a trace, including the two sisters Qi Yun.
Especially Qi Yun, the chief culprit of the governor's mansion!"
"Gudu...and then...and then!"
Liu Zhi'an turned around and walked towards the chair, and sat down with a gloomy expression.
"Later Nei Liu reported that your other father-in-law, Emperor Dalong Li Zheng, went to Jiangnan incognito and went to Dangyang Academy to pay a visit to Mr. Wen Renzheng, the former emperor's teacher.
I know that Qi Run is an official of the imperial court after all, and operating on him will definitely attract Li Zheng's attention.
After all, a feudal official was assassinated by his entire family, and it was impossible not to cause a commotion.
At that time, the incident between you and Yun'er in the Misty Pavilion was well known to everyone, and it was easy for me to be suspicious of the assassination of the entire Qi family.
Ordinary people don't know Jiangnan Liu's methods, but anyone with some influence knows how I used gold and silver to establish one of the four major families in the world.
I'm worried that your father-in-law Li Zheng has noticed something is wrong with the situation in Jiangnan, so he has to retreat to Qi Run to discuss your engagement with Yun'er!
Try to calm down the turmoil caused by you and Yun'er in Yanyu Pavilion before Li Zheng arrives in Jiangnan. You don't want your father-in-law Li Zheng to put the Li family's attention on Jiangnan Liu.
At first, your father-in-law Qi Run refused quite decisively.
But he had only been transferred to Jiangnan as an official for a few years, so how could he know what kind of identity Liu Zhian was.
It's just that I'm worried that it might arouse the ideas of your father-in-law Li Zheng, so I had to send a letter to your uncle and Prince Duan Li Yang to come forward to put pressure on your marriage to Yun'er."
"Back then, you hesitated to speak and even threatened Governor Qi...but didn't say anything else. Is this the reason?"
Liu Zhi'an nodded silently: "Yes, your marriage with Yun'er was indeed successful because of my pressure from behind.
But I didn't expect that your boy's ability to win the heart of other girls is so powerful.
A marriage that was meant to confuse the public has actually been turned into a marriage of love by you!
However, considering the identity of the Liu family, it doesn’t make much difference which girl you marry. On the contrary, it just fulfilled one of my wishes.
After all, you have been reluctant to start a family and start a business because of Wei'er's incident.
Since you are willing to start a family and start a career, I have no choice but to make up for the mistake and make the marriage between you and Yun'er happen!
Later, after my secret arrangements, before your father-in-law Li Zheng arrived in Jiangnan, although the turmoil caused by you and Yun'er was not completely eliminated, it was just a joke that would not attract anyone's attention."
Liu Mingzhi knocked off the ashes with trembling hands, put on the tobacco again, lit it up and took a few deep breaths at the candle, using the smoke to calm down.
His eyes flickered for a long time, and Liu Mingzhi seemed to understand something.
"My going to Dangyang Academy was not just a whim of yours, old man, nor was it the so-called admission to the top imperial examination for Guangzong Yaozu. It was your intention because you knew that only after I went to Dangyang Academy would I follow my mentor Wen Renzheng.
The old man was looking for advice from his father and he met unexpectedly!"
Liu Zhi'an was silent for a long time and nodded silently: "When you grow up, you see things more clearly! That's right, because later, although I didn't find Li Buyi's whereabouts, I found an eminent monk after all the troubles.
, after handing over your birth date and birth date to him, I learned that your destiny has once again become the destiny of an emperor with seven stars on his feet.
I am horrified, but for the safety of the Liu family and you, I can only find a way to let you enter the court as soon as possible to accumulate prestige and power.
And for you who have donated your reputation as a scholar but are no different than a white lady, leaving a deep impression in front of your father-in-law Li Zheng is undoubtedly the best way!"
"This is why later on, I didn't want to set foot in the temple at all, but you insisted on urging me to enter the capital, right?"
"Yes, your destiny has changed again, and it is no longer appropriate to continue to stay in Jiangnan.
But I didn't expect you to be so stubborn and reluctant to enter Beijing.
In desperation, I have no choice but to take a step back and hope that you can make some achievements in the imperial examination.
Fortunately, you, bastard, did not disappoint me and got the first place as Jie Yuan."
Liu Mingzhi slammed the tobacco bag on the table, and gave Liu Zhi'an an annoyed look: "You and your father-in-law forced me to do that, saying that if I don't get the honors, I will stuff this young master back into my mother's womb.
I was only nineteen years old at that time, how dare I not take it seriously in the face of the persecution from you two?"
Liu Zhi'an chuckled twice, "But you are famous in Jiangnan as a playboy!"
Liu Mingzhi was startled and couldn't help but feel speechless.
"Then have you ever thought about it? What if I leave a bad impression on my father?"
Liu Zhi'an raised his brows and sneered twice, spreading his hands casually.
"Isn't that better? The eldest son of the Jiangnan Liu family is a playboy who is illiterate and has no ambition. Instead, your father-in-law, Li Zheng, relaxed his attention to me, Jiangnan Liu!"
"But I..."
"But what about the fact that you have a destiny based on seven stars? Right?"
"Um!"
"In the Bai family, your grandfather had no choice but to train experts for the imperial guards. In the Zhang family, your cousin Zhang Mo entered the army because of your uncle's arrogant identity. In the Yun family, because of the identity of this old guy from Yunyang, Xiaoxi was selected by your father-in-law Li Zheng as the future
of queen.
My Liu family is the only one who has not yet linked up with the court.
It’s just a temporary break, do you think you, Ming Li, or even Ming Jie will be able to stay out of it when they reach adulthood?”
"I............"
Liu Mingzhi already understood the meaning of Liu Zhi'an's words.
Liu Dashao smoked pots of tobacco one after another, making the study room shrouded in mist, making it look like a fairyland on earth.
With his throat as dry as fire, Liu Mingzhi dropped his eyes directly on the table and looked at Liu Zhi'an across from him with complicated eyes.
"Old...Old man...you...don't tell me that the White Lotus Sect has something to do with you?"
