Chapter 161: National Teacher
Zhang Zhengyan's voice spread far away, and before it fell, the drums on the mountain sounded in unison, playing a welcoming tune, and the posture was really grand to the extreme, even if the emperor came, it was just like that. Lin Qi has seen such a lively scene, and he is curious and puzzled, national teacher? What is it?
In the midst of the sound of drums, a hearty laugh came from outside the courtyard: "Hahaha...... Zhang Tianshi personally greeted him, the poor monk had such a big face, he really didn't dare to be a ......, he didn't dare to be a " The voice was clear, I don't know what method was used, it seemed to sound in everyone's ears, and the sound of drum music was immediately suppressed.
A monk in his forties was in high spirits, striding forward, this monk was very tall, very strong, white face and yellow eyes, like a strange appearance, ruddy face, ears with double rings, yellow cloth, beard like sheep's horns, three or four hundred people came up behind him, these people are men, women and children, all look arrogant, but they all have a trace of vigilance, keep a certain distance from each other, there are a lot of people, it looks dense, these people are very fat, thin and thin, and the clothes are even more varied, except for the robes, there are all kinds of strange, Some wore open chests and bare bellies, some wore armor, and some wore clothes that were covered from head to toe like sacks. What's more, some people have shining gold rings on their ears, noses, and lips.
Lin Qi had never seen a person from Fanbang, so he looked strange, and felt that this monk looked like a poodle, which was really strange.
The person who came was the Great Yuan National Teacher Jia Canzhen, since he was out of the capital, the secret visit really let him find out that the one who seized the world of the Great Yuan should be surnamed Zhu, and his ancestral home should be in the Fengyang area, but there are so many surnames in the world, and it is no different to find out the needle, at this time the world is in chaos, and the Red Turban Army is surging, although Jia Canzhen has the ability to take eighteen apprentices, he is helpless in the face of the turbulent trend of the world.
What's more, there are just a dozen people, the momentum is also weak, and it works well in the place ruled by the Great Yuan, but when he goes elsewhere, no one pays attention to him, and he thinks of a way in desperation, why not bring the world's strange people and strange people into the palm of his hand, with these people, a rise in momentum, in a use of some magic to secretly kill the leaders of the Red Turban Army everywhere, the Yuan army will attack again, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort.
After making up his mind, he took his apprentices to search around, the identity of the national teacher of the Great Yuan Dynasty really works, some small sects, what Golden Daomen, Jiuhua Sect, Tianlongmen, Wanhua Piaoxiang Sect...... There are always different things, most of them are small sects or evil side factions, and the idea of fighting is also to follow the Great Yuan National Teacher, how can you be familiar in front of the emperor, if it is said that the Great Yuan calms the world, there is naturally a credit, even if the country changes hands in the end, it is still the way it is now, there is no loss left and right, and they are sent out to follow.
Jia Canzhen has collected dozens of people, and there are many people who have the confidence, and then go to various sects, if they are happy, it is fine, but if there is no happiness or a little resistance, it is full of people, and there are also those who do not live or die with Jia Canzhen, and there is no other way but to hide, so that Jia Canzhen's momentum has soared, and he has traveled all over the seven gangs and eight factions in a few months, and has collected so many hundreds of people.
There are many people, but the good and the bad are uneven, the rabble, secretly competed with the Red Turban Army a few times, who knows that these leaders are either the White Lotus Sect or there are strange people around them, after several battles, there are mutual injuries, and there is no real helpless anyone, but these individuals follow Jia Canzhen, do nonsense, and cause public resentment to boil. There are even more individuals who simply dress up as monks, and they think that Jia Can's real **, and there are not a few.
Someone forcibly bought the people's pigs, and the people sued Li Bi who stayed behind. Li Bi was asking about the case, and a monk came to take his apprentices to the same party, holding a wooden stick, broke into the court, indiscriminately grabbed Li Bi's hair, pressed him to the ground, beat his head and bleed, and arrested him, locked him up for several days before he was released. Li Bi was angry and sued the emperor, but Emperor Shun only symbolically locked up the monk for two days, and then sent a decree to release him.
Another time, there were eighteen people such as monk Gong Ke who fought with a certain princess, and they dragged the princess to the ground, adding fists and kicks. The attendants hurried to the rescue and told them that it was a felony to beat the princess without permission. But Gong Ke didn't care, but said that even the emperor Laozi also had to be subject to our precepts, a little princess, what could she do if she was beaten? The princess was unwilling to suffer such a big loss, and she also sued the emperor. But after several days, there was no movement. The princess sent someone to inquire, and it turned out that Emperor Shun was just about to issue an edict: beating a monk, the crime should be cut off; Insulting the monks, the sin should be cut off. Because of the crown prince's advice, the edict was taken back.
What's more, there was a fake monk wearing a golden talisman, leading more than 100 followers, rampage on the road, and there was an endless stream. Because there were so many people, the post stations of the government could not live there, so they forcibly occupied the houses, took the opportunity to drive the men out, and defiled the women. The round talisman worn by the monk was originally used for border warnings, and not everyone could wear it casually. What the monk did happened to be met by Li Chang, the imperial history of Xitai, so he reflected what the monk did, but Emperor Shun suppressed the matter.
Jia Can is really worried, if it goes on like this, don't say that it will eradicate the chaotic party in the world, and I don't know how many people I have to force against it all the way. But these people are lackeys, and they are indispensable, at this time someone gave him an idea, it's not that these people don't work, it's really too bad to inherit, and there is no rule, it's better to take it to Longhu Mountain, learn the Taoism for a few months, Longhu Mountain has strict rules, teach these people a lesson, and then let everyone be punished, and the ability will be greater, in this way, it is a strange soldier, naturally not to be underestimated, what does Jia Can really want to do, isn't it handy?
Jia Canzhen listened to the praise, sent someone to find Emperor Shun to ask for a holy decree, and went straight to Longhu Mountain with hundreds of people, this is the scene in front of him, Jia Can is really a national teacher, with a holy decree, Zhang Zhengyan had to greet it with great fanfare, but seeing so many miscellaneous people following Jia Canzhen up the mountain, he was also dumbfounded and didn't know why.
Seeing Zhang Zhengyan come out to greet him in person, Jia Canzhen felt that he had face, and greeted him with a smile, Zhang Zhengyan was puzzled, but he also smiled perfunctorily, and asked: "The national teacher is not in the capital to accompany His Majesty, how did he come to my deserted place?" ”
Jia Xuan really smiled: "The dragon and tiger mountain tiger is in the dragon plate, the holy land of the immortal family, the poor monk is envious when he sees it, and he can't wait to change positions with the heavenly master, so he meditates here, how did it become a deserted place?" The poor monk came this time and brought His Majesty's will. Speaking of this, he looked solemn, took out the holy decree from his arms, and said loudly: "Zhang Zhengyan takes the decree!" ”
Jia Can's true Chinese is good, but he also has an awkward foreign accent, and when he gets closer, he is even more smelly, Zhang Zhengyan cultivates his surname, and is the most impatient with this breath, but he doesn't dare to offend, and when he hears the holy decree, he immediately attaches himself to it and waits for the will. A group of dragons and tigers** also knelt on the ground together, Lin Qi didn't know what was going on, seeing that everyone knelt down, his heart was extremely awkward, he didn't understand how he knelt down when he saw this monk, hid in the crowd, and half-squatted down, fortunately, there were many people, and no one saw his small action.
Jia Canzhen opened the holy decree and read it aloud: "The emperor's edict said that Zhang Tianshi should have a bottom cultivation house, etc., and recite it one by one**,
Tell everyone in the world, and the emperor to celebrate long live the birthday, Zhang Tianshi should be a monk and other people everywhere in the courtyard have been exempted from paying taxes...... In addition, there is a national teacher Jia Canzhen who leads people with lofty ideals in the world to go up to the mountain gate, in order to protect the world and plan for the people of the world......
The holy decree is very simple, just two meanings, from now on, exempt the tax of a hundred and ten miles from Longhu Mountain, in order to show importance, and then send you an apprentice, these people brought by the national teacher, please help teach some skills, so as to contribute to the country, everything, listen to the arrangement of the national teacher, don't let me down......
Zhang Zhengyan couldn't imagine that Emperor Shun and Jia Canzhen fought this idea, and they were a little at a loss, but they had to accept the holy decree, because he was in the same vein as Longhu Mountain, and at this time it had reached its peak, all of which were given by the Great Yuan Dynasty, and they have been in the limelight for decades, and they are really inseparable from the Great Yuan.
The Mongols nominally recognized the title of "Heavenly Master" of Zhang Ling's descendants and granted them the authority to govern Jiangnan Taoism. In order to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty, Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, sent people to the south of the Yangtze River to contact Zhang Keda, the 35th generation of the Heavenly Master of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, and Zhang Keda predicted that Kublai Khan would unify the world after 20 years.
After Kublai Khan destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, in order to stabilize Jiangnan, in the thirteenth year of the Yuan Dynasty, he summoned the thirty-sixth generation of heavenly master Zhang Zong to enter the court, gave the number of the Taoist Ling Ying Chong and the real person, gave the second silver seal, and ordered the master to lead Jiangnan Taoism to attract information.
Since then, the thirty-seventh generation of Zhang Hedi, the thirty-eighth generation of Zhang Hecai, the thirty-ninth generation of Zhang Sicheng, the fortieth generation of Zhang Side, and the forty-first generation of Zhang Zhengyan have been named Heavenly Master and Dazhen from generation to generation, and they have presided over Jiangnan Taoism. Its functions and powers are mainly to recommend, appoint and dismiss Taoist officials at all levels of Jiangnan Zhulu and palace temples, ask for the amount of new palaces, and have the right to send people to Taoist priests. In the eighth year of Dade, Yuan Chengzong sealed the thirty-eighth generation of Heavenly Master Zhang Hecai as the leader of the Zhengyi Sect and the presiding leader of the Sanshan Fu, and the Dragon and Tiger Sect merged with other Fuzong factions to become Zhengyi.
It can be said that Longhu Mountain and the Great Yuan Dynasty are both prosperous and lossy. Longhu Mountain has enjoyed the honor of several generations, and now the emperor has something to find you, can he say that he will not accept the order? ?
After reciting the holy decree, there was silence on Longhu Mountain, as if even the sound of a leaf falling could be heard, Zhang Zhengyan hesitated, Jia Canzhen waited for a while, saw that he was still kneeling on the ground, and suddenly snorted impatiently, this hum woke up Zhang Zhengyan, no matter what, the holy decree is still the first and then again, thinking of this, said loudly: "Minister! Pick up the order. ”
