The Hall of the Deaf and Dumb is said to have been founded by Zhu Qi (1), the ninth grandson of Zhu Quan, the king of Mingning.

In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty fell. At that time, Zhu Qian was not 19 years old, and his father died not long after joining, which made his heart extremely melancholy and grief, so he pretended to be deaf and dumb, and hid incognito in the mountains and wilderness to save himself.

In the thirteenth year of Yongli in the Ming Dynasty (that is, the sixteenth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty), when Zheng Chenggong made the Northern Expedition to Nanjing, the Deaf and Dumb Hall was also active for the Heaven and Earth Society for a time, but with the failure of Zheng Chenggong's Northern Expedition, the Deaf and Dumb Hall could only hide in the world, in order to make further contributions to the anti-Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty.

"Master Hui, the military strength of the bandit suppression army is obvious to all. As for the King of Han himself, after my contact with him, I can completely feel that he is completely different from other anti-Qing righteous people. Zhai Dakun said while gesticulating.

Although Lu Zhonglin is the old hall master of the old deaf hall, how can he really be a deaf and dumb person as the hall master? What's more, he also has the mission of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, and the deaf and dumb declared to the outside world is just a kind of protection for himself.

"Different? How to say. Lu Zhonglin asked with some curious gestures. Lu Zhonglin's words obviously also attracted the attention of the two deaf and dumb hall elders present, and they all looked at Zhai Dakun.

"Well, I have never seen a superior man who would buy food for a lost strange child and take pity on a hungry beggar. In the past, some anti-Qing righteous people looked down on people as long as they had some rights, and they couldn't compare with the current Han king. Zhai Dakun sighed from the bottom of his heart.

"If King Han becomes the emperor, I don't dare to say anything else, but I will definitely treat the people very well. is the so-called upward and downward effect, just look at the military discipline of the bandit army to know who he is. It is said that the 'three disciplines and eight points of attention' were formulated before he even started the army. Never take a stitch from the people, but they are all singing all the time. ”

"Indeed, if King Han can really do what he says, it will indeed be good for the people." Elder Li Shimin, who was sitting on the right, took over and spoke.

"Divide the land and exempt from forced labor, do not collect taxes, and have two buckets per mu of land..."Wang Jia'an, another deaf-mute hall elder sitting on the left, couldn't help but read.

"Elder Wang, it is said that the King of Han directly changed the two buckets to collect thirty-five catties (2) in order to prevent the Xiaoxu officials from taking advantage of the loss of the people who returned to the public." Zhai Dakun said correctively.

"Oh, it seems like that." Wang Jia'an nodded.

"Da Kun, according to your opinion, this Han King Zhang Rui is the person we are looking for?" Lu Zhonglin asked in disbelief, as if he was about to touch the target but didn't dare to touch it.

"Yes." Zhai Dakun nodded and replied.

The long light flickered, and there was silence in the room for a while.

Suddenly, Wang Jia'an seemed to notice something, and suddenly looked at Zhai Dakun and asked, "Da Kun, can you hear me?" ”

"Now it's okay once in a while." Zhai Dakun looked at Wang Jia'an and nodded again and said: "The medical skills of the alien scholars around King Han are very powerful, after some acupuncture by him, I drank a pair of medicines prescribed by him, and after some sweating, I found that I can occasionally hear things now." ”

"It's a great thing." Wang Jia'an said happily.

After all, Zhai Dakun was elected as the next master of the Deaf-Dumb Hall, and if his ears have been deaf, it will undoubtedly be detrimental to the development of the Deaf-Dumb Hall. Although they have been seeking a way to treat Zhai Dakun, but all these years have not been effective, and now Zhai Dakun not only has the possibility of being cured, but also has a line with King Han, which is undoubtedly a great thing.

"Thank you, Great Elder." Zhai Dakun arched his hand and thanked him.

"It's a great thing that Da Kun can hear it." Lu Zhonglin also nodded happily and said.

"Thank you, Master."

"Da Kun, Master is old, I don't know how many days I have to live, and I don't have the ability to protect the deaf and dumb hall. Sooner or later, the future of the Deaf and Dumb Hall will be in your hands, and since you are so optimistic about this Han King, I have no doubts. Lu Zhonglin suddenly said with emotion.

Zhai Dakun listened to a sentimentality, and was about to say words of comfort, but asked Lu Zhonglin to stretch out his hand to stop it. I saw Lu Zhonglin continue: "Think about how many ups and downs, hardships and obstacles I have experienced since the establishment of the Deaf and Dumb Hall for the great cause of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty. But these are not terrible, what is terrible is that there is no opportunity to perform. ”

"Since the defeat of the national surname in Nanjing, we once thought that the national surname would definitely be able to make a comeback, but the national surname did not come to Nanjing again until he died."

"For the great cause of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, we have also been working hard everywhere. Finally, Wu Sangui got up and reversed, but what was the result? Again we are disappointed. Since then, the subsequent anti-Qing events have become more and more difficult, and most of them have not been successful. ”

"Since I took over the Deaf and Dumb Hall from the hands of the previous old hall master, Li Biheng, I thought that there would never be a chance to see someone overthrow the Manchu Tartars, and now this Han King may really be our hope."

"Yes, Master. Now the territory of King Han is no worse than that of Wu Sangui back then, and these territories are all fought down by himself. What's more, King Han is young, much younger than Wu Sangui. What's even more rare is that King Han is much better than Wu Sangui as a king. As long as everyone assists, the king of Han will definitely be able to overthrow the Manchu Qing and restore the rivers and mountains of our Han people. Zhai Dakun said in a firm tone, as if he was also comforting the old man in front of him who was about to do it and still adhered to his ideas.

"Yes, to assist you. Maybe my mission is to wait for him! Hu Yunyan has a hundred years long, after the heavy eight, there will be six, the clear water will extinguish the fire and rise again, the sun and the moon will always shine on the Chinese land. Lu Zhonglin said as if he was naturally muttering to himself.

"What a good poem, even if it's so simple."

"Elder Wang, Elder Li, do you think Zhang Rui, the king of Han, is worthy of the assistance of our Deaf and Dumb Hall?" Lu Zhonglin asked the two elders present.

"We are all old, and the deaf and dumb are now withering. Since Da Kun is optimistic about King Han, isn't this an opportunity for me to be deaf and dumb? We are all dying people, so why should we continue to guard it? Wang Jia'an said.

"I agree with Elder Wang. Maybe it's time for us to let go and leave the rest to the young people! Li Shimin echoed.

"Since the two elders said so, what else could I not let go?" Lu Zhonglin said with a slight smile.

"Da Kun!"

"Yes, Master."

"You can tell King Han about the treasures of our Deaf and Dumb Hall in two days, and it can be regarded as my Deaf and Dumb Hall's contribution to the great cause of opposing the Qing Dynasty. We'll get you the map in hand. Lu Zhonglin commanded.

"Yes, hall master."
