Chapter 144: The Son of Heaven Asks for Longevity

Inside the Wuying Palace.

With a plop, Xiao Fan was so frightened that he knelt down.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face became so blue that he didn't dare to look up, anyway, he knew that Lao Zhu's mood would definitely not be happy at this time.

No matter who is inexplicably regarded as someone else's disciple, he must not be in a happy mood.

Xiao Fan wanted to slap his two mouths hard...... It's not good to talk to Zhang Sanfeng, if you don't mention Zhang Wuji to him, it's just that Zhang Wuji is mentioned, it's just a fictional character, it's strange to blame that Jin Daxia, the book he wrote was fictional, and inexplicably wrote Lao Zhu into the book, and inexplicably made Lao Zhu a subordinate of the sect leader Zhang...... This misunderstanding...... It's a bit big.

According to Lao Zhu, the temper of the king of Hades, I don't know how to clean him up? Peeling or chopping alive?

Xiao Fan felt that his hunch just now was correct, taking Zhang Sanfeng into the palace was definitely the stupidest thing he had done in this life, there was no "one".

"Your Majesty, the minister is dead! Ministers should be punished! Xiao Fan hurriedly fell to the ground and pleaded guilty.

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted angrily, still ignored him, but said to Zhang Sanfeng with a pleasant face: "I have admired the old immortal's name for a long time, the old immortal has traveled all over the world, his whereabouts are erratic, I have called each other many times, and I have not had the opportunity to meet the old immortal, and now the old immortal has traveled to Beijing, hehe, it seems that my fortune is not shallow." ”

Zhang Sanfeng was not confused at this time, and when he heard this, he raised three fingers at Zhu Yuanzhang very politely, made a three-clear salute, and said with a dignified expression: "Poor and Daoist wilderness, ask Your Majesty how well." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said that he was in a good mood today, and said with a smile: "The old fairy doesn't need to be polite, I am the right cloth of Huai, from the countryside, and I am not a person who talks about etiquette." ”

Xiao Fan knelt aside, peeking at Zhu Yuanzhang's ruddy face and smiling, and couldn't help but quietly breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

It seems that Lao Zhu is in a good mood, maybe he doesn't know the scandal between the county lord of Jiangdu and himself, or perhaps, Lao Zhu doesn't take this matter to heart, the emperor, there are so many state affairs to worry about every day, it is said that he has to approve thousands of pieces a day, how can he have time to care who his granddaughter falls in love with...... Xiao Fan kept comforting himself like this in his heart, even if he was a little self-deceiving, he simply didn't bother to think about it so much.

After Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Sanfeng exchanged a few words, he ordered the eunuch to give Zhang Sanfeng a seat, and then saw Xiao Fan kneeling next to him with a look of remorse, Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him fiercely, and said angrily: "You also get up, stand aside for me." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression gradually eased, and he smiled at Zhang Sanfeng: "The old fairy game Hongchen, beyond the world, appeared in the rivers and lakes in the last years of the Song Dynasty, I dare to ask the old fairy how long life is?" ”

Zhang Sanfeng stroked his beard, recalled carefully for a long time, and said: "Poor Dao was born in the seventh year of Chunyou in the Song Dynasty, ...... years ago."

Zhang Sanfeng raised his head and began to pinch his fingers, pinched for a long time, and finally shook his head painfully and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang: "...... How many years have it been? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was also very embarrassed by this question, and followed Zhang Sanfeng to pinch his fingers, and in the quiet hall, two old men with pale hair sat opposite each other, racking their brains to calculate their age...... After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly gasped and exclaimed: "One hundred and fifty years old!" The old fairy has a high lifespan! ”

Zhang Sanfeng seemed to be stunned, and said, "I...... Have such a long life? ”

Then Zhang Sanfeng smacked his lips, with a thoughtful expression, and muttered to himself in confusion: "...... After living for so many years, what am I doing? ”

Xiao Fan stood aside, wiping his sweat constantly...... This old immortal has lived a mess all his life.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhang Sanfeng's eyes and was suddenly full of envy, and sighed deeply: "The old immortal has such a long life, he is really the best in the world, and he is more than eighty years older than me. ——I heard that the old immortal also opened the door many years ago, and accepted disciples, with your high life, I will call you a patriarch......"

Zhang Sanfeng stroked his beard, smiled deeply, and before he opened his mouth, Xiao Fan hurriedly said politely: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, the Ninety-Five Supreme, why bother to be condescending?" The word 'ancestor', Your Majesty must not say it casually......"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said unhappily: "Why can't I say it? Although I am the Son of Heaven, but the old immortal is an immortal, I don't have to follow the mortal etiquette, I really respect the Tao of the old immortal, so why not call me an ancestor? ”

Xiao Fan broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead and begged: "Your Majesty, it's really not, if you call him the ancestor, the minister will be very embarrassed." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang gradually became a little impatient and said: "What do I call the old immortal, that's my business, what are you embarrassed about?" ”

Xiao Fan said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty calls the old immortal the ancestor, but the minister is embarrassed to recognize you as a nephew......"

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious: "Bold! What do you mean? ”

Xiao Fan pointed to Zhang Sanfeng, who had an ethereal face, and said pitifully: "He...... It's my uncle. ”

Zhang Sanfeng smiled: "Yes." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's old face was gradually shrouded in a layer of black gas: "............"

...... for a long time, "Humph! Let's not mention this matter, let's get down to business. Zhu Yuanzhang snorted angrily.

Xiao Fan breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully: "Thank you Your Majesty for your understanding." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhang Sanfeng, and said earnestly: "The old immortal Taoism is profound, and the blessings are profound, but there is such a long life, I want to ask the old immortal for advice on the method of longevity, I don't know if the old immortal is willing to teach one or two?" ”

Xiao Fan immediately understood Zhu Yuanzhang's intention of summoning Zhang Sanfeng many times.

Who wouldn't want to live a few more years to be an emperor? When a person has fully satisfied the ** of material and power, what else does he need to pursue?

What else could he ask for but to prolong his life?

The so-called respect for Zhang Sanfeng's Taoism is profound, those are all scenes, what Lao Zhu really thinks is Zhang Sanfeng's method of longevity, which is what Zhu Yuanzhang needs most at present.

The emperor's golden body is sensitive and fragile...... After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, his cloudy eyes were firmly fixed on Zhang Sanfeng, the true dragon son who was high above, and his eyes at this time were faintly begging, which made people feel sad.

Zhang Sanfeng stroked his long beard, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with clear eyes, and looked calm.

After taking a closer look at Zhu Yuanzhang's face, Zhang Sanfeng nodded calmly.

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a look of anticipation: "The old immortal can calculate my heavenly years? ”

Zhang Sanfeng got up and walked in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, lowered his body to Zhu Yuanzhang's face, and said in a very authoritative tone: "...... Mouth. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "What are you doing?" ”

"Look at the teeth."

"Ahh

So Zhang Sanfeng began to count the teeth in his mouth...... Xiao Fan stood aside in a daze, watching the two old men who were more than two hundred years old face to face, and gathered together to count the plates carefully, and the sweat on Xiao Fan's forehead broke out layer after layer...... Long...... Zhang Sanfeng straightened up, met Zhu Yuanzhang's expectant look, and slowly shook his head.

Zhu Yuanzhang's heart sank, and his expression suddenly became gloomy.

"What about the co-rulers of the world? What about the supreme in the world? I can't escape the reincarnation ......of fate," Zhu Yuanzhang sighed gloomily.

Zhang Sanfeng also sighed, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with some sympathy, and said: "Your Majesty led the righteous army to drive out the Tartars and recover my Han people, as the founding monarch of the country, he was destined to kill constantly, and he was full of bones, this was the will of heaven, and the poor way calculated that His Majesty was blessed with profound blessings, and it was a rare longevity among the sons of heaven in all dynasties, but after His Majesty established the country, there were many innocent people who died under the knife, which violated the harmony of heaven and also broke His Majesty's life......"

Zhang Sanfeng was originally an outsider, he didn't know how to speak tactfully, and bluntly said that Zhu Yuanzhang had killed and even caused his life to be broken, and Xiao Fan on the side said that his heart hung up on Lao Gao, and it has been 30 years since the founding of the country, who dares to say such a rebellious thing in front of Zhu Yuanzhang?

Strangely, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't look angry at all when he heard this, but sighed sadly and muttered, "Why do I want to kill so many people? If I don't kill those heroes who have made great contributions to me after my death, if they are proud of their achievements after my death in the future, and do not want to serve the people who are the masters of my descendants, then the war disaster will start, and the world will be turbulent, when will the people hope for peace? ”

Zhang Sanfeng shook his head and sighed: "Time, fate, everything is destined, why bother?" Hehe, the world is so ignorant......"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it and suddenly smiled: "I have been ruling the world all my life, happy to be revenged, and now I am close to old age, the enemy died in front of me, and my comrades-in-arms also died in front of me, my life is enough!" Why force longevity? Haha, the old fairy might as well tell him frankly, how much time do I have a long life? ”

Zhang Sanfeng pinched his fingers a few times and said, "One year." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked stunned, his eyes were gloomy, he sighed long, and said, "One year, only one year...... I'm not afraid of death, I still have a lot of things to do, this country is not stable enough, the people are not rich enough, Yun Wei is not sensible enough, and there are not enough courtiers who can assist him...... I have too much to do. ”

In the sigh, Zhu Yuanzhang's body sitting on the chair gradually withered and fell down, like all ordinary old people, looking at the layers of palace walls and green tiles outside the hall with a calm and sluggish expression, and his expression looked extremely desolate.

"There are talented people in the country, what Your Majesty didn't have time to do, your descendants will help Your Majesty handle their ......" Xiao Fan bowed and comforted.

Zhu Yuanzhang's sluggish gaze slowly fell on Xiao Fan.

The warm sun outside the window slanted on Xiao Fan's body, and his young and handsome face was full of vitality, like a faint golden light under the shroud of sunlight.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "There are talented people in the country, well said, Xiao Fan, what I didn't have time to do, will you assist Yun Wei to do them well?" ”

Xiao Fan hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your Majesty has an order, and the ministers will obey it." ”

"I hope I didn't see the wrong person, and I hope Yun Wei didn't see the wrong person......" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xiao Fan, and there seemed to be another layer of deep meaning in his tone.

"Your Majesty gave the minister the word 'Shouyi', and the minister didn't dare to boast, and now he is already a loyal and righteous gentleman." Xiao Fan's expression was very serious, as if he didn't understand what modesty was.

"Hehe, you're really welcome." Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes narrowed with a smile, and his gaze staring at Xiao Fan faintly shot out two sharp rays of light.

Zhang Sanfeng sat aside, suddenly lowered his head, and said loudly: "Amitayus Buddha——"

Zhang Sanfeng got up to say goodbye, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't keep it, but just sincerely invited Zhang Zhenren to enter the palace more and invited him to discuss.

Before leaving, Zhu Yuanzhang made an edict and named Zhang Sanfeng as a "microscopic manifestation real person" and gave him the forbidden palace to walk.

Zhang Sanfeng thanked Zhu Yuanzhang for his gift with a smile, and then said goodbye to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Xiao Fan said that the main purpose of taking Zhang Sanfeng into the palace today was to observe Zhu Yuanzhang's face, and now he saw that he looked calm, not happy or angry, no different from usual, and was happy in his heart at the moment, it seems that Lao Zhu didn't take the scandal between him and the county lord of Jiangdu to heart, this is good, in the future, the song will be sung, the dance will be danced, and after Zhu Yuanzhang dies, he will grind with Zhu Yunwen well, and there will not be too many twists and turns in the matter between him and the county lord of Jiangdu.

Xiao Fan hurriedly followed Zhang Sanfeng to retire, the goal was achieved, it was time to withdraw.

Zhang Sanfeng had walked out of the palace gate with a light wave of his robe sleeves, and Xiao Fan bowed and retreated towards the palace gate step by step.

Life is unsatisfactory, Xiao Fan saw that he had retreated to the palace gate, but Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stopped him.

"Xiao Fan, don't leave yet, come here, I have something to tell you."

Xiao Fan trembled, and hurriedly said, "Yes." ”

Reluctantly glanced back at Zhang Sanfeng, who was walking outside the palace gate elegantly and chicly, Xiao Fan sighed with a resentful sigh, and then looked solemn, and walked respectfully to Zhu Yuanzhang's dragon case.

The hall was silent for a long time, and the two monarchs and ministers were relatively speechless.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xiao Fan, his cloudy eyes were full of deep meaning, as if he was studying some kind of esoteric topic, and his unfathomable and fierce gaze made Xiao Fan have goosebumps all over his body.

At this moment, he is also searching his stomach and recalling ,—— in the history books of his previous life, has it been recorded that Lao Zhu has a tendency to glass? Why did he look at me so affectionately?

Xiao Fan was seen by Zhu Yuanzhang for a while, and secretly wondered, Lao Zhu shouldn't have heard of the scandal between me and the county lord of Jiangdu, and now he plans to clean me up, right?

I don't know how long it took, Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly: "Xiao Fan, I heard that there are some rumors in the market......

Xiao Fan trembled, and immediately said quickly: "Rumors! Your Majesty, those are all rumors! The rumors stop at the wise, Your Majesty is wise and martial, he must be the wise of the wise, and he will not believe the nonsense of the people in the market! ”

The corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth seemed to be smiling, and he said, "Oh? Is it a rumor? I think these rumors are quite true......"

Xiao Fan's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and he hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, when the minister accompanied the county lord of Jiangdu to incense in Nengren Temple, he was unfortunately annihilated and calculated, and the meditation room was on fire. Sage Yun: 'Men and women do not kiss, courtesy, sister-in-law, those who help them, the right also', the saint can pull the hand of the sister-in-law, and the minister feels that it is normal to hug the county lord in a hurry at that time......"

Zhu Yuanzhang's smile deepened, and his gaze staring at Xiao Fan became more and more unfathomable, and after a while, Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly: "The rumors in the market that I want to tell you refer to King Yan's return to Beiping, but you told you about you and the county lord, hehe, Xiao Fan, very good, you are really my good minister......

Xiao Fan's whole body froze, like petrification.

A gust of wind blew across the hall, and in the warm April weather, Xiao Fan shivered......
