047 Behind the scenes

Although her appearance is much younger than the person in her impression, a little black mole on her sideburns is enough for Zhang Meishou to be sure that she is not mistaken.

This is Liu Yiqing, Lord Liu.

In the future, the official worshiped the first assistant of the cabinet, and one of the famous 'Three Heroes of Chudi' was him.

In an instant, Zhang Meishou recalled that after Zhu Youzhu left, under the difficult situation of being led by the eunuch Fang Jin, the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, Lord Liu was repeatedly framed for refusing to collude with Fang Jin's party.

At that time, a large number of upright officials were framed and excluded by Fang Jin, and Wang Hua and Cang Bin were also calculated because of this.

Later, Zhang Meishou united with Li Dongyang, Xie Qian and several other humerus ministers to design the eradication of Fang Jin, in addition to Canglu, who was in charge of Jinyiwei at that time, Liu Yiqing's help was also indispensable.

This is a very good man.

It's just that the situation is changeable, and the old age of several pillars and old ministers at that time was not satisfactory, including Mr. Liu, who was stunned.

The time when these people's talents can really be displayed is only when Zhu Youzhu is alive.

At that time, Zhu Youzhu reused good ministers, virtuous ministers and ministers, and suppressed eunuchs, and even Jinyiwei followed the rules under the control of Cang Bin, making the best use of things, and changed the previous style of black smoke and miasma.

During that period of national strength and civil security, it was praised by historians as "Hongyi Zhongxing".

It's just that when the prosperous era reached its peak, Zhu Youzhu couldn't hold on-

Later, Zhu Zhao was mediocre and incompetent, and after Zhu Zhao died young like his father, in the absence of children, Zhang Meishou listened to the advice of Cheng Tinghe, the first minister, and appointed Zhu Xi, the son of King Qi, as the new emperor.

The new emperor is no more incompetent than Zhu Xi, but he slowly exposed his violent and suspicious nature of doing things without regard for the system, and then he did not go to court for nearly 20 years, and was bent on alchemy and seeking Taoism.

In this way, it is difficult for the veterans and good ministers who have gone through several dynasties to report their results, and their official careers are bumpy.

Liu Yiqing in front of him, Zhang Meishou called him Mr. Liu in his heart, firstly, out of sincere admiration, and secondly, because Liu Yiqing was once the prince and concubine, and taught Zhu Zhao to read and learn words.

When Zhang Meishou came back to his senses from the past, he suddenly said: "Mother, I want my father to play with me!" ”

Song, who had already turned around, was stunned, and then couldn't help but smile.

No matter how sensible her daughter has been recently, a child is still a child, and her playfulness can't be changed.

But at the moment, Zhang Luan obviously has no time to play with her.

Song said softly: "Mother will take you back to Haitang House first, and when your father is done with business, he will go back to accompany you." ”

Zhang Meishou did not follow.

"I'll just sit here obediently and don't mess with my father!"

What she wanted to do, it would be too late for her father to go back.

When the Song family was helpless, he had heard Zhang Luan say: "Bring Zhen Zhen here." ”

Although his father was kicked by a donkey, he was in a bad mood, but he still wanted to meet his daughter's request as much as possible.

My daughter is still young, and she is not old enough to be very evasive.

Aunt Zhao hugged Zhang Meishou over, sat in the chair beside Zhang Luan, and specially prepared snacks for her on the tall table on the side.

Zhang Qiuchi took the initiative to walk to her side and take care of her.

Over there, the middle-aged man was a little embarrassed and talked about what happened.

It turned out that he was driving a donkey into Beijing today, but because the weather was hot and it was noon, he did not rush into the city, but rested in a tea shed a few miles outside the city to enjoy the coolness.

Unexpectedly, an old Taoist priest came at this time, and when he saw him, he was amazed and stepped forward to talk.

He also said something like "Your Excellency must be the reincarnation of Wenqu Xing" and "Nine times out of ten you will win the champion in Beijing this time".

Liu Yiqing was originally a person who entered Beijing to catch the exam, although he was surprised but happy when he heard this, he was about to invite the old Taoist priest to drink tea, but he heard the old Taoist priest say that he had "evil spirits lingering, if you want to have a smooth career in the future, you must expel it as soon as possible"——

Liu Yiqing pondered for a while, and said bluntly: "There is not much left of the younger generation's entanglement, and I will ask the master for guidance when I meet in the future." ”

The unexpected meaning is that I don't have any money, so you better change someone to fool me.

The old Taoist priest shook his head and said that it was fate to see each other, and he was not for wealth.

Liu Yiqing was stunned.

You have to know that any profession, especially one of these esoteric ones, will always seem more credible if it does not charge money.

As a result, Liu Yiqing identified the old Taoist priest as a master in the world.

The master of the world carefully divined a hexagram, and finally asserted that the calamity star was possessed by the donkey that Liu Yiqing was riding, and he would immediately cast a spell to expel it.

Liu Yiqing expressed his gratitude and asked the master to use his magical powers.

But the result was that the old Taoist priest cast the spell halfway, and was first swept in the face by the tail of the donkey, and then kicked to the ground and ruthlessly stepped on his head - and it was the kind that couldn't pull it!

Before the old Taoist priest fainted, he pointed at the donkey with a whisk and said, "Okay, you brute...... The cultivation is so high! But I underestimated you! ”

After that, he fell unconscious.

Liu Yiqing was terrified.

Hurriedly asked people to help carry the old Taoist on the back of the donkey, went into the city to find a nearby medical center, and hurriedly helped to bandage the wound.

People came and went in the medical hall, and some people recognized the old Taoist.

"The old lady Zhang in Yongfang was crazy a few years ago!"

"......" Liu Yiqing only knew at this time that the master he thought was a madman!

He should have noticed it a long time ago - when the old man took the light sandalwood and went to burn the donkey's buttocks!

Liu Yiqing was both remorseful and guilty, and he didn't dare to delay at the moment, so he borrowed a bamboo from the medical hall, hired two porters, and immediately sent Mrs. Zhang back to Xiaoyongfang.

Needless to say, Zhang Luan knows everything about the future.

“……”

After listening to what Liu Yiqing said, Zhang Luan and Zhang Jing, including Zhang Qiuchi and Zhang Meishou, were speechless for a while, not knowing what to say.

It turned out that behind being kicked by a donkey, even the secret was so absurd......

After accepting the facts, Zhang Luan said: "Since this is the case, then this matter is no wonder Brother Tai." My father was delirious, but he caused trouble for my brother. ”

Liu Yiqing waved his hand and said: "When it comes to cause and effect, it is difficult to escape the blame." ”

Having said that, he couldn't help but have a good impression of Zhang Luan in his heart.

If you encounter such a nonsense person, you will inevitably get into trouble.

It happened that the maid over there stepped forward to serve tea, Liu Yiqing, who had been busy for a long time, was thirsty early in the morning, and at this moment saw that the master was good to talk, and the old man had no worries about his life, so he was slightly relieved, so he picked up the tea cup and drank tea.

Zhang Meishou took this opportunity to hurriedly pull Zhang Luan's sleeve.

Zhang Luan was about to ask his daughter "what's wrong", but saw that her daughter made a silent gesture to him.

Seeing this, Zhang Luan cooperated and put his head close to his daughter's direction.

The little girl whispered in his ear, "What if he lies?" Father might as well keep him, and let him go when Grandfather is sober. ”

Zhang Luan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and laughed silently.
