Chapter 61: Apprenticeship

Daming Palace, Wuying Hall East Warm Pavilion.

There is a copper basin in the pavilion, and the copper basin is burned with red tribute charcoal, and the whole room is as warm as spring.

Zhu Yuanzhang was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, and his face was expressionless and glanced at the several ministers of the DPRK and China who were standing below, and his sharp gaze made all the people tremble slightly.

After being silent for a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke: "You have all read the imperial grandson's recital, right?" ”

The ministers bowed down and said in unison: "I've seen it." ”

"'The righteousness of the businessman', hehe, how did he think of this......" Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze returned to a pale cyan notebook on the dragon case, and the expression on his face couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry.

The ministers did not dare to speak, the power of heaven was unpredictable, and in the face of such a groundbreaking emperor, it was difficult for the ministers to figure out what he was thinking in his heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang leaned his head on the back of the chair, slowly closed his eyes, and said lightly: "Since you have read all the books, you can tell me your opinions." ”

The ministers lowered their heads again, no one made a sound, and the entire warm pavilion was quiet, only the burning charcoal in the copper basin was heard from time to time with a slight crackling sound.

For a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang still closed his eyes, but his tone was clearly a little impatient.

"What's wrong? You and others are all important ministers in the court, can't you even evaluate an article? ”

The bodies of the ministers suddenly trembled together, and at the same time they knelt down and said, "The ministers are incompetent. ”

The people who can be ranked in the warm pavilion and are called "important ministers in the court" by Zhu Yuanzhang are all outstanding in moral articles, of course, it is impossible not to even comment on an article.

But this article is very bad, its author is the grandson of today's son, the next heir to the throne, its content is even more terrible, the whole article only expresses one meaning, that is, to correct the name of the businessman!

Merchants are untouchables, this is the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang personally set the national policy, such as today the son is still alive, but his own grandson put forward a different opinion, this is a blatant overthrow of the national policy set by Emperor Hongwu before, it is a good admonition, it is not good, this is in opposition to the Son of Heaven.

The difference between the concepts of the grandparents and grandchildren, how can others say anything? Whoever offends is not pleasing to anyone, Emperor Hongwu's butcher's knife, are there still fewer ministers who have been killed? In the case of Hu Weiyong and Lan Yu, almost all the ministers of the Jingshi court were slaughtered by His Majesty the Son of Heaven, who dared to touch His Majesty's dragon beard? What else can the ministers do besides pretending to be dumb?

The ministers trembled, and only begged Zhu Yuanzhang to let them go and let them skip this matter, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to let them go.

After waiting for a long time, no one spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang's withered fingers tapped the dragon case a few times, and said indifferently: "Huang Zicheng, you are a lecturer in Chunfang, and you are a companion to the East Palace, teaching Taisun schoolwork, Taisun is your student, you can first comment on Taisun's book." ”

Huang Zicheng is in his forties, a thin and short middle-aged man, his eyes are bright, his face is thin, and there are a few wisps of green beard under his chin.

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's name, Huang Zicheng trembled all over, but he didn't dare to hesitate, took a step forward, thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, Taisun's script, the literary style is the best choice, the sentences are rigorous, and the battle is neat, it is really a rare masterpiece...... However, I beg your respect, Your Majesty, for disagreeing with the views expressed in the transcript. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang still closed his eyes, as if he was tired, leaning back in the chair, but he showed a little smile on his face.

"Huang Aiqing, let's be more detailed, why don't you agree?"

"Your Majesty, the sage cloud: the gentleman is in righteousness, the villain is in profit, the sage divided the difference between the gentleman and the villain thousands of years ago, the businessman, no matter how to whitewash his deeds, still can't get rid of their true colors of profit-seeking, since they are profit-seeking, that is the villain, where does righteousness come from? The minister thinks that what His Royal Highness Taisun said is really a big mistake. At the beginning of the founding of the country, His Majesty took the businessman as a lowly business, because the businessman forgot his righteousness for profit, got it for nothing, and only knew that he lived by the speculative method of buying low and selling high, which was shameful for the world. ”

Huang Zicheng's words were decent, neither humble nor arrogant, quoting the words of the sage, refuting Zhu Yunwen's point of view, and the ministers nodded after hearing it, this group of ministers grew up reading sage books, and they agreed with Huang Zicheng's rebuttal.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes opened a line slightly, and in the slender slit, a sharp gaze like a blade slowly swept over the ministers, and then his eyes closed again, and he slowly swallowed: "Huang Aiqing is worthy of being a lecturer in Chunfang, and his knowledge and writing are good, hehe, what else do you think?" ”

The ministers bowed their heads and said in unison: "The ministers seconded Lord Huang's words. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression remained unchanged, his withered fingers gently tapped the dragon case, again and again, as if knocking on everyone's hearts, the ministers listened to the slow rhythm of the tapping, their faces changed, and a thin layer of cold sweat appeared on their foreheads.

After being silent for a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke: "You all seconded it? Doesn't anyone object to Lord Huang's words? ”

The ministers said in unison again: "The ministers seconded Lord Huang's words. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed slightly and said, "I know, let's all step down, what the grandson played, postpone it." ”

The ministers all showed joy on their faces, "postponement" is a more euphemistic expression, which actually means shelving, or even permanent disapproval.

Watching the ministers slowly withdraw from the warm pavilion of Wuying Hall in unison, Zhu Yuanzhang's face suddenly became gloomy.

The emperor looks at things from a different angle than the ministers, who only see the matter itself, while the emperor sees the whole overall situation related to the matter.

Zhu Yunwen can put forward completely different ideas from him, Zhu Yuanzhang is not angry, he is a cruel and murderous emperor externally, but he is a loving and gentle grandfather internally, and his brutal murder is completely for the descendants of the Zhu family.

Zhu Yunwen can have his own ideas, Zhu Yuanzhang is not only not angry, but very happy. This grandson is his personally appointed heir, and in the future he will take over the throne and the country from him, and rule over thousands of people in his place. From Zhu Yunwen's recital, Zhu Yuanzhang clearly felt that his grandson had grown up and knew how to distinguish between right and wrong. This realization made him very happy.

What Zhu Yuanzhang was dissatisfied with was the voice of the ministers in the warm pavilion today.

No matter who is right or wrong in their views, for the emperor, the word of the courtiers is a very bad phenomenon, which is a harbinger of the power of the courtiers over the power of the king! This phenomenon also appeared in the court more than ten years ago, when the court covered the sky with one hand and was arrogant, and the person who was arrogant was Prime Minister Hu Weiyong!

Today, these courtiers are full of the pedantic tone of the sage, and they oppose Zhu Yunwen's views in unison, what about the future? In the future, after the death of Zhu Yuanzhang, if Zhu Yunwen puts forward another idea that the ministers dare not agree with, will they also oppose it in unison, and then the monarch's decree will not be implemented, so where is the monarch's power? How does Zhu Yunwen sit firmly? Wouldn't the emperor's power of his Zhu family's descendants be completely hollowed out by the pedantic ministers under him?

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyelids jumped a few times, and a fierce aura swirled and spread in his chest, and he had an urge to kill again. He wants to kill all these pedantic and stubborn ministers, and replace them with a group of obedient courtiers, in the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang, he doesn't mind killing a few more scholars, and he doesn't worry about no one being an official.

Then Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down again, he was old, he had killed people all his life, he was tired of killing, he was panicked, he didn't want to kill anymore.

His eyes fell on the notebook of the dragon case again, and a smile flashed on Zhu Yuanzhang's face.

"Come on, Xuan Yuan Zhong will come to see you."

Not long after, Yuan Zhong, a brocade captain in a flying fish suit, knelt at Zhu Yuanzhang's feet reverently.

Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes and said slowly: "The grandson said to me today, what he played is a businessman's business, you finally said that you will accompany the grandson, do you know why he suddenly mentioned this?" ”

A royal nobleman who grew up in the palace since he was a child suddenly justified the name of a businessman at the lowest level of civil society, this is a very abnormal phenomenon, and Zhu Yuanzhang must figure out the ins and outs of the matter.

Yuan Zhong prostrate on the ground and said respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Taisun went to the Zuixian Building in Jiangpu County yesterday again......

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes immediately opened, and he said in a deep voice: "Jiangpu County? Is it the restaurant shopkeeper named Xiao Fan again? ”

"Yes."

Zhu Yuanzhang's brows furrowed, and there seemed to be infinite murder brewing in his tone: "In this way, the businessman played by Taisun is not his idea, but that Xiao Fan instigated?" ”

Listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's gloomy tone, the cold sweat on Yuan Zhong's forehead flowed, his mind spun quickly, and then he said a less complete truth.

"Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Taisun talked with Xiao Fan for about an hour, and when His Royal Highness Taisun returned to Beijing, he was thoughtful all the way, and wrote this recital that night."

Zhu Yuanzhang's cold face finally calmed down, and a relieved smile quietly appeared on his face.

"As a monarch, you need to always understand the suffering of the people, the grandson can have his own ideas, and he can ask for my life for the people, which is a great good, hehe."

Yuan Zhong still knelt on the ground, motionless, hearing Zhu Yuanzhang say this, Yuan Zhong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

After following His Royal Highness Taisun in and out of the Drunken Immortal Building for a long time, Yuan Zhong was familiar with the shopkeeper Xiao of the restaurant, although he did not get acquainted with each other in depth, he had a good impression of Xiao Fan, who was gentle and elegant, neither humble nor arrogant, such a person should not die in his words.

Zhu Yuanzhang's fingers lightly tapped the dragon case a few more times, his eyes were thoughtful, and he muttered in his mouth: "Xiao Fan...... It's this Xiao Fan again......"

Then Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "Yuan Zhong, you go to do something." ”

"Your Majesty, please."

"Send someone to check this Xiao Fan's family background, go up to check the three generations, and then check this Xiao Fan's surname, if his family background is not innocent, and he is a bad person, he will be virtuous and detached......" Zhu Yuanzhang paused when he said this, and then his eyes suddenly opened, and his eyes were full of murder: "...... Kill them! You don't have to let your grandson know about this. ”

Yuan Zhong trembled slightly, and then said firmly: "Yes." ”

"I started from Buyi, and I don't object to Taisun making civilian friends among the people, but I can't allow a person with an innocent family background and a ghost in his heart to make friends with Taisun!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Yuan Zhong hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, if it is found out that Xiao Fan's family background is innocent, there is no problem with being a person, so what?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment and smiled slightly: "Then ask him if he is illiterate, and then bring him into the palace, I will summon him." ”

"Yes."

Yuan Zhong slowly withdrew from the Warm Pavilion.

Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand to pick up Zhu Yunwen's notebook on the dragon case, opened it and read it carefully, after a while, he raised his head, thoughtfully, and muttered to himself: "Court, there needs to be a different voice, Yunwen is around, and there must be a young humerus minister to assist ......."

…………

…………

That night, the outer court and door of the Jingshi Palace slowly opened a line in the night, and the brocade-clothed pro-army dressed in civilian clothes quietly left the palace and rushed to Jiangpu County outside the Jingshi City.

********************************

Xiao, who was in Jiangpu, didn't know that the discussion of a small businessman's status had been written into a transcript by the imperial grandson and handed to Zhu Yuanzhang's dragon case, and he didn't know that his name had reached heaven.

He is still leisurely in front of the shopkeeper of his restaurant.

- If the Taixu Dao Master with peerless martial arts does not pester him, it will be more leisurely.

In contrast, Taixu Lao Dao is very unleisurely, for some reason, he seems to be very obsessed with teaching Xiao Fan to practice martial arts, Xiao Fan does not apprentice, he is very painful, these days he can't eat well, he puts on a "thinker" appearance, very bit of "old age is too void troubles" taste.

"Why don't you want to be my teacher? You have also seen the kung fu of the poor road with your own eyes, it is not blown, in today's martial arts, there are few people who can fight the poor road......"

Xiao Fan sighed: "Dao Chief, why do you have to teach me kung fu?" In fact, I am a scholar in my bones, and I pursue the principle of a gentleman who does not use his mouth......"

Taixu unceremoniously exposed Xiao Fan's essence: "Phew! You still don't do it, you grab the broken silver of your men, you can do such a lack of morality, who will you get? ”

Xiao Fan's face was dark: "...... Decent men and gentlemen occasionally make mistakes. ”

Taixu continued to expose him: "You also instructed the poor road to knock on the stuffy stick in Huang Yan." ”

"A moderate blow is good for the growth of young people......"

"You coerced Poor Dao to go to Jinyulou to make trouble and smash the field in Huangzhi County."

Xiao Fanjun's face darkened a little: "Dao Chang knows that I have so many disgraceful pasts, according to normal practice, I should kill you and kill your mouth......"

Taixu sneered: "Come on, you can't beat me again......"

Xiao Fan was suddenly deflated, raised his eyes and glanced at Tai Xu, and said weakly: "Dao Chief, can you tell me why I have to learn kung fu from you?" Could it be that you can see that my bones are wonderful, and I am a martial arts wizard like no other......"

"Phew! You're a bony fart! With your small body, you will fall down when the wind blows, and you are a genius, you are simply a thin waste material! ”

Xiao Fan begged: "Then please let the Taoist master let me go, don't pester me anymore, waste wood is not stinky shit, you can step on it if you want, I really am not a material for martial arts training......"

Tai Xuan snorted, his expression suddenly became serious, and there was an unpredictable look in his eyes.

"The reason why Poor Dao wants you to practice martial arts with me is really because of the sky."

"What do you mean?"

Taixu sighed and said: "Poor Dao told you before, your face is extremely rich and noble, and you are destined to locate the prince and marquis......"

Xiao Fan's eyes straightened: "What monkey?" I've only heard of apes, golden monkeys, princes......"

Tai Xuan said: "Can you be serious?" Poor Dao will be honest with you, although you have the life of a prince, but you are destined to fight and kill, if you don't have kung fu, let alone a prince, you can't even save your life......"

Xiao Fan showed a look of contempt on his face, this old god stick is fooling people again, he definitely can't figure it out, I am an atheist with modern education......

"What does my learning of Kung Fu have to do with it? Could it be that the gods gave you a dream and asked you to teach me martial arts? ”

Taixu had an unfathomable expression on his face, and said slowly: "Poor Dao has discovered in recent years that the celestial phenomenon has faintly formed a lifeline of killing wolves, and this image should be in the north. In the number of crape myrtle buckets, seven kills, greedy wolves, and the three sides of the broken army in the palace of life will shine, and it will become a killing wolf......

Xiao Fan looked ignorant: "............"

"In October of the twenty-ninth year of Hongwu, the poor road watched the sky at night, and found that the southern alien star shined near the left of the Beijing Division, this star is extraordinary, the origin is strange, the Book of Changes, there is no record in the number of buckets, but it collided with the life grid of the wolf, so that the three stars can not be aggregated. Poor Dao was curious, so he hurried to Jingshi, and finally found that this star should be in this Jiangpu County, so Poor Dao stayed......"

Xiao Fan yawned: "............"

Tai Xuan said: "With your wisdom, it is difficult for Poor Dao to explain to you clearly, forget it, let's say something you can understand." ”

Xiao Fan was relieved: "Thank you for your understanding, in fact...... I'm not as useless as the Taoist said, and I still understand a little bit of what the Taoist said. ”

"What do you know?"

"I can at least see that the Dao Chief's eyes are sharper than astronomical telescopes, oh, I don't know what an astronomical telescope is, do I? You don't need to know, that thing is far worse than you, you have a celestial phenomenon on the left, an alien planet on the right, and everything that others can't see has been seen by you, it must be the eyesight that has been practiced by watching beautiful women on the street for many years, and the absolute professional level ......"

Taixu: "............"

Taixu waved his hand fiercely, and said with a resolute face: "All in all, you must learn martial arts from me!" If you don't learn from you, you will go against the sky and be damned! ”

Xiao Fan was taken aback: "So serious? Do I have to pay tuition? I don't have the money to give you ......."

Taixu's face was as black as coal, and two words burst out from between his teeth: "...... No! ”

Xiao Fan was relieved, he was afraid that the old liar would beat his money bag again.

"Since I don't pay tuition, I'll barely learn a few tricks from the Taoist......

Taixu looked ecstatic: "You finally agreed?" Heaven is pitiful, poor Dao's hard work finally touched the sky......"

"Dao Chief, it is I who promised you, not the ...... of the sky"

Taixu calmed down and asked expectantly, "Say, what kind of martial arts are you going to learn?" There are many kinds of peerless martial arts in the Poor Dao Society, and if you learn any one, you can gallop the world and be invincible......"

Xiao Fan's face was full of contempt, blow, you blow again, you are almost ready to eat, and you are still invincible......

Taixu still boasted with great interest: "Poor Dao has followed his senior brother to practice martial arts since he was a child, in addition to the light skills of Tiyun Zong, Poor Dao will also know Taijiquan, cloud palm, Mianzhang ......"

Xiao Fan interrupted: "How long will it take for these palm fists to learn to become small?" ”

"Uh...... At least two or three years, at most ten years, mainly relying on the true breath of the inner family......"

Xiao Fan shook his head with a lack of interest: "It's been too long, I don't have that patience, when the time comes, I can't even beat flies when I learn half-baked kung fu, and I can't even beat flies, that's too embarrassing, is there a faster one?" ”

"The faster ones have the twelve-style yin and yang hand ......"

"The name is too ugly, is there a good name?"

“…… How about the Dragon Tiger? ”

"This ...... It seems to be an undefeated martial art in the East......"

"This school also has the supreme internal strength of the mind method 'Pure Yang Wuji Gong'......"

"Why is this a bit of an evil name? You don't have to go to the palace first, do you? ”

"Rouyun Sword Technique?"

"Liangyi swordsmanship?"

"Thirteen Swords of the Divine Gate?"

“…………”

Xiao Fan was like buying cabbage in the vegetable market, picking and choosing for a long time, but he still hadn't chosen which martial arts to learn, and his face was getting darker and darker.

Seeing that Xiao Fan still kept shaking his head, he was so angry that he slapped the table hard.

"Speaking of which, you just don't believe in the power of your own martial arts, stinky boy, come out, poor Dao will show you!"

Xiao Fan was frightened: "What are you doing?" Isn't it just a few more choices, and you're not going to beat me up, are you? ”

"Less nonsense, come out!"

Saying that, Taixu couldn't help but say, pulled Xiao Fan and ran to the door of the drunken immortal building, Taixu was cold and cold, and quickly glanced at the lively street where people came and went, and then pointed to a graceful woman passing by, and said, "Stinky boy, do you see that girl?" ”

Xiao Fan stared at it, nodded and praised: "The Taoist has a good eye, this woman is very ......."

Tai Xuan snorted and said coldly: "Stinky boy, you have a good look!" ”

Tai Xuan condensed his breath, pointed his right hand together, then suddenly opened his eyes, stretched out his hand and pointed at the woman's back, and shouted in a low voice like spring thunder: "Open!" ”

Then a shocking scene happened, and the woman who was two feet away suddenly felt strange, "Ah! He exclaimed, covered his chest with a blushing face, squatted on the ground on the street, and didn't dare to get up for a long time, the red tide on his face seemed to be dyed by the sun.

"What do you mean?" Xiao Fan looked at the woman with an inexplicable expression, and then looked at Taixu: "You old and unserious, didn't you poke someone's aunt with one finger?" ”

Tai Xuan smiled a little proudly: "It's very simple, Poor Dao just untied the belly pocket strap that the woman was wearing in the air......"

Xiao Fan's eyes suddenly sparkled like a lantern in the night.

"This ...... This is ......" Xiao Fan was so excited that he even stammered.

Taixu said proudly: "This is a small trick created by the poor road, practice it only needs to understand a little luck method, plus a little trick, you can learn a few words, this trick can solve your own danger, whether it is a rope, a belt, a strip of cloth, can be untied instantly, if you fall into prison in the future, you can easily get out of trouble with this method......"

"This ...... What's the name of this trick? ”

Taixu proudly brushed his beard and said: "This trick is called 'Immortal Ruyi Finger'." ”

Xiao Fan stared at his eyes and muttered to himself: "Now the breast is a finger...... Sure enough, it's well deserved! ”

Thinking of the spectacular scene of women's belly pockets flying all over the sky after completing his studies in the future, Xiao Fan couldn't help but feel turbulent and scratchy.

"Dao Chief, I want to learn it!" Xiao Fan made a very serious request.

Taixu's face was overjoyed: "Really? Are you sure you want to learn it? ”

Xiao Fan clenched his fists fiercely and said excitedly: "Be sure to learn it!" Now the milk is a finger, and that's it! I don't eat or sleep to learn! ”

"Hahahaha, the son can be taught! Let's apprentice! ”

"Master is above, and the apprentice will bow three times!"

----------------Partition--------------------

If you have something to do tonight, send it in advance.

The results of this book seem to be not ideal, and the collection data is like an old cow that can't climb uphill, and I can't go up, and I've been a little depressed lately:(

Zhou said that the whole station was strongly pushed, hoping to have a good result.
