There is another thing, in history, it is said that the general Lan Yu was killed by Zhu Yuanzhang on a charge of rebellion because of his high merits, and here I want to say a fair word, saying that he rebelled really did not wronged him.

After the rebels entered Jinling City, Lan Yu used a car to pull a few jars of wine to visit Zhang Jinghe, and I opened the gate at that time. Zhang Zhenren didn't change his clothes, but just wore a more casual Tsing Yi gown and went out of the inner house to greet him, not even a pair of serious shoes, only a pair of straw sandals.

Although Lan Yu was also born in poverty, after becoming a general in the rebel army, he began to pay more and more attention to the rules and pomp, and when he saw Zhang Jinghe in civilian clothes, he was unhappy, so he sarcastically said to Zhang Jinghe: "I have heard for a long time that Mr. Zhang is outstanding, I will make a couplet, please Mr. Zhang couplet, 'Wear miscanthus grass to welcome guests, and there is no shoes under your feet'." ”

"Foot" seems to be talking about Zhang Jinghe's feet, but it is actually Lan Yu's name for Zhang Jinghe, which is somewhat disrespectful, which is equivalent to the meaning of "you as a person" in modern language.

"Wushou" is a homonym for "rude", this is easy to understand, and the whole Shanglian is translated into the vernacular as "wearing a big slipper on your feet to greet guests, you are really rude!"

Zhang Jinghe saw that Lan Yu was holding a wine glass made of coconut shell in his hand, and immediately said: "Holding a coconut scoop in your hand, don't cup in front of the bottle!"

"Zunqian" is the homonym of "Zunqian", "Zunqian" is generally used at the beginning of a letter, similar to "respected leaders" in modern language, and although Zhang Jinghe had no official position at that time, his status in front of Zhu Yuanzhang was actually higher than that of Lan Yu, and Zhang Jinghe, in turn, called Lan Yu "Zun Qian", which is a bit of a modern society "big officials in charge of small officials called leaders", to put it bluntly, it is also a kind of irony.

But this lower line is a bit difficult to understand, because this lower line is translated into the vernacular, "With a coconut shell in your hand as a wine glass, the leader does not even have a wine cup." At first glance, it doesn't seem to mean anything special, it seems to be a quarrel between two people, Lan Yu sarcastically said a sentence to Zhang Jinghe, and Zhang Jinghe returned a sentence, but it was said in a foggy manner, and the big guy didn't understand. It wasn't until many years later that I understood the true meaning of Zhang Jinghe's next link.

After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Lan Yu, as the uncle of the wife of the crown prince Zhu Biao, took good care of Zhu Biao, the nephew and son-in-law.

It's a pity that although Zhu Biao is kind-hearted and a good emperor, he has a shallow life and died young. The newly established imperial grandson Zhu Yunwen had too shallow foundation, and Zhu Yuanzhang was worried that this grandson would not be able to suppress Lan Yu, the "uncle and grandfather", so he began to suppress Lan Yu.

Lan Yu is a good person, overbearing, and one thing can prove it. I heard that after the victory of the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty in his northern expedition to the Mongolian steppe, he wanted to enter the Xifengkou Pass and return to the Central Plains, because it was night when he arrived, and the guards said that they would not be able to open the door until tomorrow morning.

In this northern expedition, Lan Yu also defiled the concubine of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, causing the concubine to commit suicide and die, Zhu Yuanzhang reprimanded him for this, originally to seal him as "Liang Guogong", and later changed to "Liang Guogong", the difference of one word represents that the fief has changed from rich Henan to desolate Gansu, in fact, it is to remind Lan Yu.

However, because Lan Yu was used to being arrogant before, he saw that Zhu Yuanzhang no longer paid attention to himself, so he had the heart of rebellion. Who is Zhu Yuanzhang, of course Lan Yu can't hide it from him with this little bit of caution, and directly sent someone to collect evidence of Lan Yu's rebellion, and executed a total of 15,000 people in Lan Yu's family and the army generals who were good friends with him.

Zhang Jinghe's sentence "Holding a coconut scoop as a cup, not a cup in front of the bottle" is actually a prophecy of Lan Yu's fate, "no cup" is actually a homonym for "disloyalty", doing things under Zhu Yuanzhang, loyalty may be killed, not to mention your "disloyalty"?

When I first came to Zhang Jinghe's side, he was already in his sixties, and in order to learn more about numerology and physiognomy with him, I would sometimes secretly add a little of my blood to his diet to help him live longer.

It's "secretly", but I've always believed that he already knew about it, but he just turned a blind eye.

He knew that I needed to use the blood of living people to sustain my life, so through the teacher of the founding heroes and the identity of Zhu Yuanzhang's friend, he regularly helped me collect blood in the name of studying pills, so in the past few decades, I have also learned physiognomy by his side with peace of mind.

It wasn't until the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu, that is, when Zhang Jinghe was 100 years old, that he discussed with me:

"Apprentice, I am sure that there will be great changes in Jinling City in five years, you and I, master and apprentice, should prepare as soon as possible. ”

My senior brother Liu Ji and Liu Bowen died twenty years ago, and I am Zhang Jinghe's only surviving apprentice.

"Master wants to go away and fly high to avoid this disaster?"

"Exactly, for the teacher to disguise himself tomorrow out of the city, west out of Tongguan, after you hung up the thank you sign in the house, said I was sick, two months later is the eighth day of the ninth month, you pretend to be me, look for a bridge in the city, jump off the bridge and fake your death, and then live in seclusion in the city, waiting for me to come back. ”

"What are you doing when you come back?"

"Don't leak it!"

For more than 30 years, I have been most annoyed that he said this, maybe fortune tellers and people have this problem, and they will say at every turn, "The secret of heaven must not be revealed", if it is really not allowed to be revealed, you don't say it in the first place? That's why in the hundreds of years that followed, no matter what I did, I didn't tell fortunes to others—do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

On the eighth day of the ninth month, I put on Master's clothes, dyed my hair white with white ash, found a bridge and jumped into the water, then held my breath and swam five miles in the water, went ashore in the distance, and made a detour back to the real people's mansion, pretending to be fine.

Jinling Mansion sent someone to report that Zhang Lao Immortal threw himself into the water for no reason, and His Majesty ordered to search for his body, but it was not found everywhere, so I mourned. I pretended to cry a few times, thanked the emperor, and said that Zhang Zhenren was dead, and the apprentice should give up the real mansion given by the emperor, and took the opportunity to find an ordinary house in the city and live in seclusion.

Since then, there has been a case of wounding in Jinling City every one or two months, and most of the injured are homeless beggars, all of whom are beaten unconscious first, cut their arms and let out some blood, and then wrap the wounds, and have an extra silver in their arms.

For a while, the beggars in the city were not only not afraid, but obstructed the government's investigation of the case, and took the initiative to wash their arms white, wishing that they would be the next to be bled out.
