Section 42 Small Talk

Zhu Yunwen turned around with a smile, looked at the two young people dressed as scholars, and saluted with a smile: "Poor Lingyunzi, I have seen two Chen Gongzi. “

Chen Ziguan, who had just been surprised, waved his hand with a smile and said: "The Taoist is polite, they are all here to watch the sunrise landscape at the top of Mount Tai, and it can be regarded as fate, come and come, Dao Chang, Xiaosheng and his brother brought some wine, the wind on the top of the mountain is cold and cold, drink some wine to warm up the body, so as to wait for the sunrise." “

Zhu Yunwen smiled dumbly, and was not in a hurry to enter the cave dzi, and sat on the ground with the two scholars surnamed Chen.

"Come and come, now there is no rebellion in the Ming Dynasty, and the slaves outside the customs are also returned to Shun and Liao, and the emperor is also diligent and clear, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, no longer displaced, and open up tens of thousands of miles abroad, which can be called a rare holy monarch. On the occasion of the Daming Sea Banquet Qingping, let us congratulate Daming! ”

Chen Ziguan's extroverted personality made Zhu Yunwen quite appreciative, smiled and took a sip of the wine bag handed over by Chen Ziguan, spit out the wine and smiled:

"The two sons seem to be from famous families, I don't know why at such a late time, they don't let their subordinates wait and climb the mountain together, aren't they afraid of any accidents?"

Chen Ziguan said with a smile: "Although it is said that the Ming Dynasty does not close its doors at night, the bandits and bandits in the wild have long disappeared under the severe crackdown of the imperial court. Besides, although my two brothers are scholars, they have also learned some martial arts since childhood. If it weren't for Jiannu's surrender, both of my brothers would have planned to join the army and fight against Jiannu outside the border. ”

Chen Ziguan took a refreshing sip of wine, Chen Zisheng smiled and then said in Chen Ziguan's voice: "Brother Chen Zilong, Chongzhen has been a jinshi for ten years, and he once served as a military officer in the imperial court. Emperor Meng valued him, and now his brother is the chief of staff of the General Staff Headquarters and works with General Qin Liangyu. ”

Zhu Yunwen's heart moved, and he found out Chen Zilong's information. According to the records of later historical books, Chen Zilong was not only a famous hero and martyr of the late Ming Dynasty, but also a famous writer in the late Ming Dynasty, the last great poet of the Ming Dynasty, and the first poet of the Ming Dynasty.

When the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs and captured Yingtianfu, Chen Zilong contacted the anti-Qing forces in various places around the Taihu Lake, and set up the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang to gather troops to swear to revolt against the Qing Dynasty, and then the army was defeated and arrested and committed suicide by throwing himself into the water.

Zhu Yunwen sighed slightly in his heart: "Since Brother Ling is in a high position in the imperial court and is valued by the emperor, why don't you find a way out for your two brothers?" So that your two brothers still have the leisure to come to Mount Tai to watch the sunrise? ”

Chen Ziguan said with a smile: "Dao Chief, the world is changing too fast now, and the past is no longer applicable to the current new era. What's more, even when my brother was in charge of the military department, he never sought wealth for his family. Although we have some selfish literati in the Donglin Party, there are also scholars like us who are dedicated to the public.

Besides, my brother has been appreciated and valued by the emperor for his own efforts, and we, as brothers, naturally need to rely on our own skills to find a way out. Don't hide it, my two brothers were admitted to the Daming Political Academy a year ago, because the military territory is too large, the emperor ordered to recruit students from our academy to go to the newly opened territory as officials, for the Ming Dynasty to govern the new territory.

Before going to the new territory to take up his post, the emperor specially granted us and other students a half-month vacation. Thinking that my two brothers are about to separate the two places, and the time they will meet may be more than ten years, so I came to Mount Tai by the way to appreciate the majesty of the head of the five mountains. ”

Zhu Yunwen nodded understandingly, seeing that the mountain wind was getting stronger and the cold air was rising. Chen Ziguan and Chen Zisheng are two future officials of the Ming Dynasty, and some of them are overwhelmed by the cold wind. The fingers hidden in his sleeves pinched the Dao Jue lightly, and quietly laid a transparent gas shield in front of the three of them, blocking the wind from blowing.

Chen Ziguan, who was in full swing, took another sip of wine: "My Ming Dynasty is now like the rising day of Mount Tai, full of vitality." The emperor is determined to seek a place for the people of the Ming Dynasty to survive. We scholars should work hard to follow the emperor's will and make contributions for all generations......

Hey, this wine is really strong against the cold, will it not feel cold? ”

Zhu Yunwen smiled, Chen Zisheng also looked around quite strangely, the sky was not completely dark, the nearby trees were blown by the mountain wind and the leaves rattled, and even the grass five steps away was blown down by the mountain wind, but strangely it was around them, but they couldn't feel the cold wind blowing.

"Hey, could this be that Jianwen Ancestor is protecting me and others? In the Ming Dynasty, only Jianwen Ancestor has this kind of immortal ability. Hey, Dao Chief, you are also a Taoist monk, have you ever stepped into the path of cultivation? I'll tell you below, hey, no, Dao Chief, you, you just said that your Dao number is Ling Yunzi? ”

Chen Ziguan suddenly remembered something as he spoke, and stood up, looked at Zhu Yunwen in surprise, and even became stuttering when he spoke.

Chen Zisheng also thought of it suddenly, and stood up suddenly, and various expressions such as surprise and surprise quickly changed on his face, and even Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but admire.

Looking at Chen Ziguan and Chen Zisheng, who became full of anticipation, Zhu Yunwen smiled slightly and said: "Poor Lingyunzi, common name Zhu Yunwen, emperor Jianwen, I have seen two Chen Gongzi. ”

As soon as Chen Ziguan and Chen Zisheng saw Zhu Yunwen once again indicate the Tao number, they both glanced at each other in surprise, and their knees were weak very tacitly, and they knelt down in front of Zhu Yunwen, and said in unison:

"Disciple Chen Ziguan, Chen Zisheng, meet Jianwen Ancestor!"

Zhu Yunwen smiled and waved his sleeves and rolled up the two people on the ground and said, "I, Daming, have already abolished the kneeling ceremony. In addition to worshiping their ancestors, they don't even need to kneel down to see the emperor, so why do the two Chen Gongzi need to make this big gift. ”

Seeing Zhu Yunwen's kind face, Chen Ziguan became a little bolder, regained some liveliness, and said with a smile: "The ancestor is a living immortal, so he naturally deserves to be bowed down by my two brothers." Besides, the ancestor is the great savior of the entire Ming people, and it is also the Buddha of ten thousand families, uh, no, the ancestor is a Taoist immortal, how can the Western Buddha be compared with the ancestor. ”

Zhu Yunwen smiled and said: "Looking at your eloquence and behavior, it is obvious that you are good material for officialdom." However, you have to remember that in order to work for the benefit of the people of the Ming Dynasty, you need to be dedicated to the public. The emperor will watch you wait, and the poor road will also watch you wait. If your two brothers have meritorious service, the emperor and the poor man will be rewarded. ”

As he spoke, Zhu Yunwen casually took out two pills and sent them to Chen Ziguan and Chen Zisheng: "Your two brothers can meet the poor road on the top of Mount Tai, this is the fate of your two brothers." These two pills will be given to your two brothers, and I only hope that your two brothers will serve the Ming Dynasty wholeheartedly. ”

"Ancestor, my Chen family has been ...... since I died for the Ming Dynasty."

When Chen Zilong and Chen Zisheng raised his head excitedly after expressing his loyalty, he was shocked to find that the figure of Jianwen Ancestor was no longer visible on the top of Mount Tai, but the voice of Jianwen Ancestor faintly sounded in his ears:

"The name of the pill is Pei Yuan Dan, which means to consolidate the original Pei Yuan. Although your two brothers have practiced martial arts, but their bodies are damaged, taking this pill can restore your two bodies to the best state, and restore this youth and prolong your life. I hope your two brothers will remember that if you are an official and do not make decisions for the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes......"

After listening to the advice of the ancestor of Jianwen in their ears, Chen Ziguan and Chen Zisheng couldn't help but bow to the ground again, and said loudly to the void: "Our brothers remember the words of the ancestor, and we will live up to the high expectations of the ancestor, and devote ourselves to the people and the public. ”

After worshipping Jianwen Ancestor, Chen Ziguan and Chen Zisheng stood up happily, and invariably lowered the Pei Yuan Dan in their hands.

"Oops."

Chen Ziguan suddenly screamed, Chen Zisheng hurriedly looked over and asked urgently, "What's wrong?" But the body is not suitable for the elixir given by the ancestor? ”

Chen Ziguan slapped his face hard in annoyance, hung his head in frustration, and said in frustration: "I was so excited just now that I forgot to apprentice to Jianwen Ancestor." ”

Chen Zisheng, who was taken aback, patted Chen Ziguan on the back angrily: "It is already a great blessing for us to be able to get the elixir from the ancestor, and we can't be too proud of being a man." Besides, as long as our brothers do a good job in official affairs, there will naturally be a chance to meet with the ancestor, and at that time, it is impossible to say that we can be rewarded by the ancestor again, maybe the opportunity has come, and it is possible for the ancestor to accept us to get started as soon as he is satisfied. ”

"What the elder brother said was extremely true, and the younger brother immediately felt full of energy."
