Chapter 30: The Road to Heaven (1)
On the afternoon of the 15th day of the 11th month of the lunar calendar of the fifth year, Wang Kunjun was playing with a pair of children in a room specially prepared by Zhang Xiaofei for children to play. The two little ones are just six months old today and can already sit. Zhang Xiaofei and Han Qingwen were also watching from the sidelines, teasing the two little guys from time to time, making the brothers and sisters laugh non-stop.
A family of five was joking, and the little girl came in to report that the seventh master was coming. Wang Kunjun heard that Zhang Weixin came to find him, and knew that he had business to tell him, so he handed over the responsibility of coaxing the child to the two ladies, and came to the outer room to see Zhang Weixin.
Zhang Weixin saw Wang Kunjun coming out of the playroom, hurriedly greeted him, and said, "Fifth brother, fourth brother is here, saying that he has something important to discuss with us, and he is waiting in the small conference room at this time." ”
Hearing that it was Yu Xuzi who came, Wang Kunjun was somewhat surprised. Because Yu Xuzi is quiet by nature, he rarely walks around with his brothers, and he always asks his apprentices to pass back and forth when there is something. Today's sudden visit in person is probably something very important to say. So, Wang Kunjun didn't dare to slack off, and immediately followed Zhang Weixin out of his room and went straight to the small conference room.
As soon as the two entered the small conference room, they saw Yu Xuzi drinking tea while chatting with Wang Feng, who was not on duty today, and his expression didn't seem to be anything urgent, Wang Kunjun's heart relaxed slightly.
Wang and Zhang stepped forward to salute Yuxuzi before finding a seat and sitting down. Then, without waiting for Wang and Zhang to ask, Yu Xuzi had already taken out an envelope from his arms, handed it to Wang Kunjun, and said, "Fifth brother, seventh brother, the foolish brother came today to be a messenger." This is a letter that Master Tai asked people to bring, so take a look. ”
Wang Kunjun took the letter, and while taking out the letter, he asked, "What did Master Tai say in the letter, and the fourth brother would personally send it over." ”
Yu Xuzi said: "The matter said in the letter is very important, the foolish brother is not worried about letting the apprentices send it, so he came in person, as for what is the big thing, you will understand after reading the letter." ”
Hearing this, Wang Kunjun didn't ask any more questions, hurriedly unfolded the letter, and read it carefully. The letter was not long, but it was only three pages of paper, but the content in it surprised Wang Kunjun. He forcibly suppressed his urge to scream and handed the letter to Zhang Weixin next to him.
Zhang Weixin was a little puzzled by the changing expression on Wang Kunjun's face, he took the letter and read it silently. Soon, his mood began to be as excited as Wang Kunjun. It turned out that Fuyaozi told his brothers in the letter about his experience of being summoned to the capital by the emperor of the current dynasty (Later Zhou Emperor Chai Rong) last month.
According to what Fu Yaozi wrote in the letter, Chai Rong asked him about the technique of Huang Bai Ascension. On the one hand, he persuaded the emperor to take it as his responsibility to rule the world, and on the other hand, he recommended them to the emperor as a class of brothers. He told Chai Rong that he was just an outsider and couldn't help in the affairs of the imperial court, but his apprentices were different from him. Although they have limited knowledge of Huang Laozhi's learning, they are all rare talents with great skills and insight in other aspects.
Fuyaozi also told Chai Rong that although they are now in the Liao Kingdom, they have always been looking forward to the Great Zhou, and they are always looking forward to the day when Wang Shi will go north to recover Youyun. If Chai Rong can recruit them to his subordinates, they will definitely serve them loyally and become a big help to Chai Rong. Whether it is for him to recover the clouds or to calm the world, these people will play a huge role.
I don't know if it's out of trust in Fuyaozi, or his own thirst for talents, anyway, after Fuyaozi recommended his apprentices to him, Chai Rong said very happily that if he has the opportunity, he hopes to meet these apprentices of Fuyaozi. If they are really as good as Fuyaozi said, they will definitely recruit them under their command and let them contribute to the court.
After obtaining Chai Rong's consent, Fuyaozi repaired a letter and sent it to Yuxuzi, asking him to relay the news to the brothers, asking them to immediately send a representative to Kaifeng City to meet Chai Rong. At the same time, Fuyaozi also hinted to the brothers in the letter that they should be fully prepared and show their skills to Chai Rong as much as possible in order to gain Chai Rong's recognition. Only in this way can we live up to Master Tai's hard work.
This incident can almost be called a good thing for the crossing team. Because in this era, being able to communicate face-to-face with the emperor can only be a beautiful wish and dream for the vast majority of people, especially the common people. Although in Zhang Weixin's memory, Chai Rong summoned Chen Tuan Ancestor should have been in the third year of Xiande, that is, in the winter of next year, the current situation does not seem to be quite consistent with the history he knows. But there is nothing wrong with Master Tai's handwritten letter, perhaps this is the so-called butterfly effect. ,
Thinking of this, Zhang Weixin slapped the arm of the chair excitedly and exclaimed: "This is really God helping me and other brothers." Fifth brother, this opportunity is really good. As long as we can grasp this opportunity, we will definitely be able to make our cause have a great development. ”
"Not bad," Wang Kunjun also said happily, "This is really a God-given opportunity, and making good use of this opportunity is equivalent to paving a road to heaven for us." ”
Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and then said to Wang Feng: "Xiao Feng, you immediately notify all the brothers, and immediately rush back to the 'Qingyuan', remember that it is all the brothers." You tell them that whatever work they have in hand, they have to put it aside and must be back by noon tomorrow. ”
Although Wang Feng didn't know what Master Tai wrote in the letter, it could be seen from the expressions of his cousin and seventh brother that this matter was definitely very important. So, I didn't dare to slack off, so I immediately stood up and walked out.
However, before he could take two steps, he was stopped by Zhang Weixin: "Xiaofeng, wait a minute." ”
"Old Seven, do you have anything else to say?" Wang Kunjun said strangely.
Zhang Weixin pondered for a moment and suggested: "Fifth brother, in my opinion, let's gather everyone to the 'Jingyuan'." It's quieter and more spacious. If the brothers want to come back, they must be servants and guards with a large group, and if they all flock into the 'Qingyuan', I am afraid that they will not be able to fit it. ”
After Zhang Weixin's reminder, Wang Kunjun also felt that it was indeed a bit crowded to recall everyone back to "Qingyuan". So he nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then pick a bigger place and simply change the meeting place to 'Liangyuan'." It's more spacious, and it's a good time to give the brothers a taste of the new house. ”
When Wang Feng went out to send a telegram to his brothers everywhere, Wang Kunjun asked Yu Xuzi again: "Fourth brother, this opportunity is rare, and the younger brother thinks that you should also go with your brothers." This can not only increase some knowledge, but also give ideas to the brothers. After all, the brothers have not been back to Middle-earth for a long time, and they are not very familiar with official affairs. Besides, Master Tai also said in the letter that if the fourth brother has nothing important to deal with, it is best to go together. ”
Yu Xuozi did not answer Wang Kunjun immediately, but closed his eyes slightly, and gently stroked his beard with his hand, as if he was contemplating. Wang and Zhang knew that he was thinking, so they didn't bother, just waited quietly beside him.
After a while, after Wang Feng returned to the small conference room after sending the telegram, Yu Xuzi opened his eyes and said slowly: "Brother Fool is originally an outsider, and he was originally unwilling to participate in these mundane things. However, since you brothers need the foolish brother to help you by your side, and Master Tai also has this intention in the letter, then the foolish brother will go with you. However, if the foolish brother leaves with you, there will be no one to take care of the affairs in the view. Therefore, if you want the foolish brother to go, you have to call Qingchen back first, and let him temporarily go to the 'Jade Void Palace' to preside over daily affairs. ”
Seeing that Yu Xuzi agreed to go together, Wang and Zhang were very happy, and naturally agreed to Yu Xuzi's request. Wang Kunjun immediately asked Wang Feng to send a message to Youzhou City again, and asked Fan Wucheng and Zhao Dawei to bring clean dust when they came back.
Seeing that Wang Feng agreed to go, Wang Kunjun said to Yuxuzi again: "It is rare for the fourth brother to come to the 'Qingyuan' once, according to the brother, the fourth brother should not go back to the 'Yuxu Palace' tonight." How about staying here for one night and going to the 'Cool Garden' with us tomorrow?" ”
Yu Xuzi thought for a moment, nodded, and said; "Fortunately, there is no important matter to deal with in the 'Jade Void Palace' for the past two days, and the foolish brother will stay here for one night. When the dust is cleared, the foolish brother can also explain some things to him. ”
After talking about business, Yu Xuzi proposed to Wang Kunjun that last time Wang Kunjun made a 100-day wine for his children, he couldn't come to participate because of something, so he came over today and wanted to see his nephew and niece. In this regard, Wang Kunjun naturally has no reason to object. He immediately accompanied Yuxuzi to see his children.
Wang Kunjun accompanied Yu Xuzi into the children's playroom, and Zhang Xiaofei and Han Qingwen, who were playing with the children, saw that Yu Xuzi was coming, and hurriedly got up to salute the fourth brother. Yu Xuzi returned the salute and went over to look at the two little ones. The two little guys were very cute, and even the old Taoist of Yuxuzi, who claimed to have seen through the red dust, couldn't help but tease them a few times.
As a result, the siblings reacted very differently. Wang Huan was so amused that he even stretched out his little hand to grab Yu Xuzi's beard. Wang Qi was more afraid of life, so he cried after seeing Yuxuzi's old way. Frightened, Han Qingwen hurriedly stepped forward, held her daughter in her arms, and coaxed her for a while before coaxing.
In this case, it is not good for Yu Xuzi to stay in the house for long. He took out two long-life locks from his arms, first hung one around his neck for Wang Huan, who was not afraid of life, and then handed the other into Han Qingwen's hands, asking her to hang it on Wang Qi for a while, Zhang Xiaofei and Han Qingwen hurriedly thanked Yuxuzi. Then Yu Xuzi left the playroom and went back to the small conference room to talk to Wang and Zhang.
