Chapter 36 Lao Tzu gambles
Yang Zhun listened to Lu Yunzhi's words and asked in surprise: "The yamen is on fire, how do you know?" When I left yesterday, it was fine, and you and I have been staying together since then. Lu Yunzhi smiled and said: "I haven't walked the water yet, it's just fast, I don't believe that if you go out of the street to see it now, you will definitely see the location of the Yamen of the Southern Rite Department within thirty sounds." The specific reason seems to be that a person in the house next to him accidentally knocked over the candlestick and burned the scroll, and he was sleeping and didn't see it, which caused the fire to implicate the yamen of the Ministry of Rites. ”
Yang Zhun smiled and didn't think so, thinking to himself that although Lu Yunzhi was only knowledgeable, he was also a mortal, how could he be a prophet. Yang Zhun stood up, then smiled and pushed open the door, walked quickly to the door, and asked the porter to open the door and walk to the street. There was no one in the market, Yang Zhun looked at Lu Yunzhi who was following behind him and said respectfully: "Sir, you see that nothing happened." ”
Lu Yunzhi just smiled faintly and replied, "You haven't counted yet?" Yang Zhun was also very playful, and counted loudly: "One or two...."Just counted to twenty, I saw a thick smoke suddenly rise from the direction of the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites, accompanied by a red light, Yang Zhun looked at Lu Yunzhi dumbfounded, and then pointed to the side of the fire and said, "Sir, you are, how do you know?" ”
Lu Yunzhi beckoned Yang Zhun to enter the house and closed the door, and then said to him: "I'm just a fortune teller. Yang Zhun sighed and sighed: "I always thought that the fortune tellers and hexalists in the world were all charlatans, but I didn't expect it to be quite accurate, and Mr. is so knowledgeable and well-versed in ancient and modern times, he must have been favored by God and ordinary people." This is like a god, sir, can you teach me this technique? ”
"Oh? So what do you want to learn this art for? Lu Yunzhi looked at Yang Zhun with interest, but Yang Zhun swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "Then I can calculate the ups and downs of officialdom, and speculate to win a bigger official position....." Yang Zhun knew that he was a little carried away when he was happy, and hurriedly said: "Sir, please forgive me, what I said just now is this, I want to be a bigger official and serve the country for the benefit of the people, in fact, I am very indifferent to fame and fortune." ”
Lu Yunzhi laughed, and then said: "Yang Zhun, I can ensure that your glory and wealth are inexhaustible, there is nothing to be embarrassed about, we are all mortals, and we must ask for something." But if you listen to me, I can teach you these strange arts, even the art of exorcism and trapping ghosts. I just don't know if you have the guts to learn, but I have a great enemy. ”
Yang Zhun was in his forties, but he jumped up like a child, leaned his shoulders and said: "Sir, please rest assured, whoever dares to go against Mr. is against me Yang Zhun, I have to kill him." "My enemy is Yu Qian, do you dare to destroy it?" Lu Yunzhi said. Yang Zhun was suddenly stunned and then slumped in his chair, not knowing what to do, Yu Qian is now the first important minister of the imperial court, how can he be compared with this little Liudu Rite Langzhong, and secretly scolded himself in his heart: What a skill Lu Yunzhi has, he was confused just now, how could his enemy be solved by himself.
Lu Yunzhi smiled slightly as if he didn't see it, and continued: "You don't have to panic, I have my own clever plan, if you can succeed, I can let you be added to the rank of knight, you originally relied on Yang Shan to get this position in Langzhong, I think it will be a little difficult to get promoted again with your qualifications and talents, others can't do it, but I can do it." Even if we don't succeed, we can protect ourselves, and I will make a lot of money for you, so that you will be bored with dragon liver and phoenix marrow. Yang Zhun's eyes straightened, and he grabbed Lu Yunzhi's arm and asked, "Is this true?" Lu Yunzhi shook Yang Zhun's hand away and nodded.
Yang Zhun asked in a trembling voice, "Then what should I do?" It's not a rebellion. Lu Yunzhi burst out with a snort and said, "Rebellion, do you have soldiers?" Yang Zhun shook his head, and Lu Yunzhi was happy: "Then what kind of rebellion do you make, don't worry about it, your uncle Yang Shan will send someone to write in a few days, you can do what he says in the letter, what to do next, I will tell you when the time comes." There was also a letter sent to King Wu today, in which a thousand taels of gold were written on Lu's visit, and they would naturally understand that if they wanted to send it as an ordinary official document, he would naturally understand. "Zhu Jianwen's original name was Zhu Jianwen, and the name of Jianwen is only called by people in the Zhongzheng lineage, and people in the officialdom will call Zhu Jianwen the prince of Wu Wang or Zhu Jianwen, so Zhu Jianwen will guess as soon as he sees this letter. Of course, even if they had doubts, they would not suspect this little Nanjing Libu Langzhong, after all, the disparity in official positions was too great, and Yang Zhunding did not have the courage to deceive them.
The more Yang Zhun listened, the more he felt that Lu Yunzhi was unfathomable, and gradually became respectful, and asked in a low voice, "Who is Mr." Lu Yunzhi picked up the pen and wrote on the white paper on the table: Heaven, earth and man are in the same vein. Although Yang Zhun is an official in the capital, how can he also be a Langzhong in the six departments of Nanjing, naturally he has heard of the Zhongzheng lineage, and knows that this faction is unruly and even the emperor has to give up three points, but who would have thought that there is a master in the Zhongzheng lineage in his family?
Yang Zhun asked again: "I heard that you are in the city of Beijing, why did you come to the humble house and pretend to be a servant?" Lu Yunzhi stared at Yang Zhun's eyes and said: "We are at odds with the imperial court, especially with Yu Qian, so you can think about whether you want to help me or not." Glory, wealth and living in the world, I only see you have to choose one, tell me the answer now, if you deny, I will turn around and leave, and I will not drag you down. Yang Zhun lowered his head and was silent for a long time, and then slammed the table, not at all like a scholar, like a bandit, and shouted: "Lao Tzu gamble, listen to Mr.!" ”
"Good!" Lu Yunzhi also shouted, stood up and looked at the shadow reflected in the leaves fluttering under the breeze outside the window, and thought in his heart: Yu Qian, if this is an opportunity, I will let you know what it means to win the sky.
In a courtyard in Huailai, a military town, a man is constantly surrounding a dozen wooden barrels filled with potions, each barrel is soaked in a person, their eyes are dull looking ahead, the indescribable hollowness between their eyes, the only normal person is the man standing outside the barrel, the moonlight shines on the person's face, showing an incomparably strange and gloomy haze. He carried a small wooden bucket in his hand, and kept scooping up the medicinal juice from the small wooden barrel and pouring it on the heads of the people in the barrel, laughing as he poured it, and muttering, "I can finally get my wish." ”
At this time, another man pushed open the door and walked in, and then said to the man with the bucket: "Wang Yulu, how are you preparing?" When will they wake up from suspended animation? It turned out that the man who carried the bucket to pour the medicine was Wang Yulu, one of the traitors of the Zhongzheng lineage, Wang Yulu replied: "Cheng Fangdong, what are you urging, I will definitely succeed, you can rest assured." ”
