In early spring, the mountains and forests in the south are still green and lush, and green-tiled buildings can be seen faintly among the lush branches and leaves. The mountain is called Yushan, and the Taoist temple in the mountain is called Yushan Palace. The incense is not strong, and there are almost no people on the winding mountain road.
It's the chirping birds that add a bit of liveliness to the quiet mountain forest, or else it's as peaceful as death.
There was a large incense burner placed in the stone brick courtyard deep in the Taoist palace. A thin wisp of green smoke rose silently into the air and gradually faded away. At this time, a chime sounded inside, and two people standing under the eaves
He walked into the temple.
A fat middle-aged man with a white face and no beard, he should be an eunuch, because in this era there were almost no middle-aged men without beards; the other Confucian scholar with a clear face and a long robe was Zheng Qia. The two of them walked up to the temple without bowing.
God, ignored the clay statue above and went straight inside. Knocking lightly on a wooden door, he saw two people, old and young, already sitting inside. The elder was Zhu Yunwen, and the other one who was about 27 or 28 years old was Zhu Yunwen.
The eldest son Zhu Wenkui.
Zheng Qia and the fat eunuch bowed down together and said, "Greetings to the real person."
Zhu Yunwen's Taoist name is "Zhenren Yushan", so some call him Zhenren, Zhenren Yushan, and some call him Immortal Lord. Unless the secret situation is completely certain, someone will call him His Majesty the Emperor, etc., but Zhu Yunwen doesn't seem to like it very much.
People flatter him like this, perhaps because it touches something deep in his heart.
Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly and asked them to sit down, but Zheng Qia still stood respectfully.
After performing the ceremony, Zheng Qia bent down and said: "I came here today to disturb the real person's Qing Dynasty. It is really important... Zhang Ping'an was transferred to Huguang to patrol the censor. The purpose was to monitor and secretly investigate and ward off evil cults. He went to Wuchang first.
Mansion, wrote to Fang Ling, and I got the news. To be on the safe side, I immediately sent someone to verify that Zhang Pingan has arrived at Changde Mansion."
"Changde Mansion?" Zhu Yunwen's expression moved slightly, but he didn't know whether it was for his son who had been separated for more than 20 years, or because he realized the importance of the stronghold on the Changde Mansion. That stronghold had been in operation for more than ten years and had never been targeted by the court.
But then Zhu Yunwen's words revealed his attitude. He whispered as if he was mumbling to himself: "Changde Mansion is not far away...I wonder what he looks like."
The implication is that Zhu Yunwen seemed to want to see Zhang Ning, and Wen Kui on the side was secretly unhappy: not only because he cared about his father's favor, but also because he thought that Zhang Ning had obtained fame in the "pseudo dynasty", and his net worth was "innocent", and he was younger than
Although he became a bureaucrat when he was young, what about Wenkui himself? It is very likely that he can only be a Taoist priest for the rest of his life. Comparing the two sides, Wenkui felt a little inferior to his younger brother Wenkui, who was an official, and he unconsciously developed a little jealousy.
Although Wen Kui was a little unhappy, he didn't want to make a fuss. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Queen Ma walked out from behind the curtain. She had a very unhappy face, and her eyes revealed her excitement. She was cold.
Leng said: "Zhang Ning...hehe, he has the same surname as that eunuch (Wang Gou'er) who eats both inside and outside. Seeing that Zhu Zhanji's family is good, they all ran over, so how could they care about their own family?"
A dog doesn’t think the family is poor, but such a person is worse than a dog!”
"Presumptuous!" Zhu Yunwen slapped his hand on the coffee table, his face turned red with anger. His words about "worse than a dog" really made him very angry. If he called Zhang Ning a dog, wouldn't that mean he was also scolding me?
There was a "bang" sound when several cases were photographed, and the cups above were clattering around. Ma was startled, and his body trembled. His mean and resentful expression was suddenly gone. After a while, his eyes became wet.
Then he was sad and aggrieved. He walked to Zhu Yunwen's side and choked with tears and pitifully said: "I'm afraid Zhang Pingan is not what my husband wants to see most. You are still thinking about that vixen... Don't you understand after so many years?
If the goblin hadn't deceived you and you had focused more on government affairs, perhaps the situation would have been much better. This woman is a poisonous woman and an ominous person, and your husband must stay away from her."
The corners of Zhu Yunwen's mouth twitched slightly.
When Ma saw this, he softened his tone and said, "Who has been by your side over the years, no matter when your husband is proud or frustrated? Our family is of the same mind, and those who seduce and confuse your husband are just because you were the emperor back then.
, just for glory and wealth..."
Zhu Yunwen's temper was not bad, and the wind in his ears dissipated, and the anger on his face calmed down. He sighed and said: "Neither Yao Ji nor her son is who you said, you have wrongly blamed her.
When the war broke out, Yao Ji took the boy to a common people's home. She was just worried about the boy's safety, so she definitely had no evil intentions."
Ma hurriedly said: "That's right, of course the woman values her son, it is her capital to seek favors in front of her husband; but the husband must understand that in her eyes her son is much more important than her husband.
Isn’t this clear?”
Zhu Yunwen said: "I'm already dying, what's the use of talking about this? Now only Wen Kui is by my side. Wen Gui has been locked up and isolated from the world since he was a child, so I'm afraid I can't count on him. The other one is Zhang Ning, and I don't even have a name."
Get it for him, and finally know the whereabouts, so don't fight, what's wrong if the three of us, father and son, are reunited?"
Zheng Qia was silent for a long time. He couldn't stand Ma's "harem interference", but she and Emperor Jianwen were together every day. Zheng Qia naturally didn't want to offend him, so he endured it. Now he heard Zhu Yunwen say this
, he couldn't help but worshiped: "I also think like a real person. Zhang Pingan returned to Changde Mansion probably because of the instructions of the false emperor (Xuande) and Hu Ying. Zhang Pingan himself definitely doesn't want to feel sorry for us. I would like to advise you.
, we should try to contact Zhang Pingan and coordinate with each other to avoid accidents."
Ma said softly: "Knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing hearts!"
Zhu Yunwen frowned and turned back: "Don't always think that everyone is going to harm you. How can there be so many bad people in the world?"
Zheng Qia said seriously: "Last time the eunuch Wang Gou'er was safe and sound, it was all because of Zhang Ping'an's timely notification of the inside story and his response to the incense ash case; Zhang Ping'an learned Wang Gou'er's identity from Mrs. Yao's mouth, and it was Wang Gou'er who
We should treat him as one of our own, otherwise why would we save him? And this time, I knew that Zhang Ping'an had arrived in Changde so quickly, and he revealed the news himself. If he wanted to go against us, why did he tell Fang Ling the truth?
"
Zhu Yunwen nodded frequently when he heard this: "The kid has the blood of my Emperor Gao, and the descendants of my Zhu family will never forget their roots. Regarding this matter, we should follow Zheng Shaofu's words and send someone to stay with the kid, and let Yao Ji be responsible for it."
Coordination. Stabilize the situation and cause less harm to ministers everywhere."
"Immortal Lord Shengming." Zheng Qiabai said, "Now Fang Ling from Nanzhili has a good relationship with Zhang Pingan, and Fairy Taohua also has a relationship with him. They can be sent to Changde Mansion as liaisons. If they can get along with each other, then
It can achieve twice the result with half the effort and avoid unnecessary complications.”
"Peach Blossom Fairy..." Zhu Yunwen pondered for a moment.
Zheng Qia hurriedly reminded: "Wang Jingzhi."
Zhu Yunwen suddenly understood and nodded hurriedly: "I know who it is... I really misjudged the Gengchen Palace Examination. At that time, Wang Jingzhi's knowledge was outstanding, and the officials had agreed to recommend him as the number one scholar. But this person's appearance is not good, I see
After feeling displeased, he appointed Hu Guang as the first scholar in Gengchenke Jinshi, and gave him the title of Jing, and was awarded the title of Hanlin editor. Unexpectedly, after the rebellion of King Yan, the actions of Wang and Hu were completely opposite.
.I didn’t agree with the officials’ recommendation that Wang Jingzhi be the number one scholar, but he committed suicide and martyred his country; I treated Hu Guang well, but I didn’t expect that this man still cared about the pigs raised at home when the country was in crisis! As soon as King Yan entered Jinling
, Hu Guang surrendered at all costs, alas!"
Zhu Yunwen fell into memories, and after a long time he looked at Zheng Qia and said, "Didn't the Peach Blossom Fairy once serve under Peng Tianheng? The 'boy' eradicated Peach Blossom Villa and killed Peng Tianheng the year before last. Can the Peach Blossom Fairy and the 'boy' get along well?"
Zheng Qia hurriedly said: "It's so shameful to say that I was captured alive by Zhang Pingan. Fortunately, Fang Ling interceded and was let go. But I have no grudge against Zhang Pingan. It's just because everyone was in charge of the situation at that time.
, everything you do is human nature, I ask myself whether I still have such a big heart. Besides, there is still a hidden secret in this matter. Peng Tianheng’s death may be self-inflicted. Peng Tianheng was a martial artist and a ruthless person..."
As a genuine scholar with the title of Jinshi, Zheng Qia would belittle a martial artist whenever he had the opportunity. The dispute between civil and military officials did not like each other, which has historical roots. Zheng Qia continued, "At that time, Peng Tianheng took advantage of Zhang Ping'an and threatened him several times.
He then captured one of Zhang Pingan's subordinates, a woman, and subjected her to all kinds of sexual humiliation and torture, causing her to become disabled. As old and new grudges accumulated, Zhang Pingan seized the opportunity to capture Peng Tianheng alive. How could he spare her?
Pass him?"
Zhu Yunwen nodded: "In this way, the relationship between 'boy' and Peng Tianheng is a personal grudge, and there is no hatred between him and other people in Peach Blossom Villa."
"What the real person said is absolutely true." Zheng Qia said hurriedly, "At that time, Zhang Ping'an was caught, and he went to Fairy Peach Blossom to discuss a compromise, and through Fang Ling's relationship, they had a close friendship. The old minister then advised them to go
Be a liaison.”
Zhu Yunwen said: "Young master Zheng generally has a good plan and has considered everything carefully. This arrangement is very appropriate. At the same time, it would be good to let Yao Ji take charge of this matter. In any case, Yao Ji is the biological mother of the 'boy', so the matter will definitely be flawless... If there was anything wrong back then...
Mr. Zheng is here to help me, so maybe the big thing is not over yet."
Zheng Qia was moved and knelt down on the ground: "Your Majesty, I am deeply ashamed. When the King of Yan rebelled, I was just a Jinshi, but I was just a small Hanlin waiting for the imperial edict. I had no chance to participate in confidential state affairs and failed to serve Your Majesty.
I am sorry and regretful. Fortunately, I can still be with you today. I am willing to do my best to repay Your Majesty for your kindness."
"Please get up quickly." Zhu Yunwen actually left his seat to help him in person. Later, Zhu Yunwen apologized again, feeling that he owed those loyal ministers who followed him to death, and the two of them spoke with sighs and sighs. The temple was filled with a sense of vicissitudes of life.
Wen Kui was very low-key and silent today, but in his heart he was thinking about what his father did: As a person who does big things, he is too soft-hearted and considers others. To do big things, you have to be ruthless. How can your mother-in-law think about others?
