Longhu Mountain, Shangqing Town.

Fei Yinghui led 500 soldiers to the Heavenly Master's Mansion to congratulate the New Year.

Zhang Yingjing, the fifty-second generation celestial master, went out with many Taoist priests to welcome guests. Fei Yinghui has been stationed for a few days, and the peasant association has already begun to divide the fields outside the town.

"General, please come in!" Zhang Yingjing saluted.

Fei Yingheng ordered the soldiers to guard outside, and he walked in alone. After entering the door, he looked around and said with a smile: "This Heavenly Master's Mansion is so magnificent!" ”

Can it not be magnificent?

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty allocated funds to renovate it three times, especially the Jiajing Emperor, who frantically smashed silver to repair the Heavenly Master's Mansion.

Zhang Yingjing's grandmother was the daughter of Emperor Jiajing's sister. Zhang Yingjing's father's name was given by Emperor Wanli himself.

In terms of seniority, Zhang Yingjing can be regarded as Chongzhen's cousin!

In the Ming Dynasty, there were five halls, five east and west praise halls, and six east and west langfangs.

Walking through the front hall, Fei Yinghui was invited to Zhang Tianshi's private room, and entered one of the main halls to sit down and drink tea.

Fei Yingjing sipped the tea and didn't speak, only smiled and looked at Zhang Yingjing.

Zhang Yingjing is also unlucky, his father is very long-lived, and he only became an immortal last year. Zhang Yingjing is very old, and he has only been the heir of the Heavenly Master for one year, and he encountered a thief before his ass was hot.

In history, after more than two years, Chongzhen couldn't hold on, and specially recruited his cousin Zhang Tianshi to go to Beijing to pray for rain.

Zhang Yingjing's prayer for rain had no effect, but he did a field method to cure the prince's illness. On the way back to Jiangxi, in Yangzhou Qionghuaguan Yuhua, apparently there are no years to live.

There was a person sitting next to him, named Zhang Hongren, Zhang Yingjing's eldest son, who was twenty-one years old this year.

The three of them sat for a long time, and no matter how advanced Zhang Yingjing's cultivation was, he couldn't help but say: "Can the general stop the troops and order the peasant association to stop dividing the fields?" ”

Fei Yinghui smiled and asked, "What if I don't stop?" ”

As a distant cousin of Emperor Chongzhen, Zhang Hongren asked: "Mr. Zhao's intention, do you want the Heavenly Master's Mansion to be attached before you can stop?" ”

"Is the Heavenly Master's Mansion willing to be attached?" Fei Yinghui asked rhetorically.

Zhang Hongren looked at his father, he didn't dare to make his own decisions.

Zhang Yingjing sighed secretly, and didn't understand whether he was a thief or not, but said: "I implore the general to stop, and after the Chinese New Year, the poor Dao Ding led his disciples to Ji'an Mansion in person." ”

Fei Yinghui said: "The Heavenly Master is willing to go to Ji'an Mansion, and Mr. Zhao naturally welcomes it. But this division of the field cannot be stopped, and moreover, the Taoist priests of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, Zhengyiguan, and Shangqingguan are all vulgar if they do not have a degree! ”

The father and son were shocked, this is to knock on the Heavenly Master Mansion of Longhu Mountain.

Even Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain can't raise Taoist priests casually, and the imperial court is very strict.

Except for Hongzhi, Jiajing, and Wanli, other emperors didn't give much to the degree, and every time the Heavenly Master's Mansion asked for a number of degrees, they bargained and only gave half of the price, and sometimes they didn't even give a degree.

In particular, Emperor Longqing suppressed the Heavenly Master's Mansion very badly. Directly removed Zhang Tianshi's Zhengyi real person title, changed it to the Shangqing Palace, and demoted from the second rank (rank to one grade) to the fifth rank of petty officials, and the seals were changed from gold seals to copper seals.

It's a pity that Emperor Longqing died early, and after Emperor Wanli succeeded to the throne, he actually gave his aunt to Zhang Tianshi to marry.

Chongzhen is not accustomed to Longhu Mountain, the Heavenly Master's Mansion, Zhengyiguan and Shangqingguan, and the number of legal Taoist priests today is only two or three hundred. The younger generation of Taoist priests are all illegal monks!

Fei Yinghui smiled and arched her hand: "Master Zhang, please find out all the Taoist priests who have not been killed, and dismiss them." Longhu Mountain Millennium Dao Court, I really can't bear to use troops. ”

"Can't you wait for Poor Dao to go to Ji'an Mansion?" Zhang Yingjing asked.

Fei Yinghui said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao has a saying, if you don't divide the fields and clean up the Taoist priests, there is no need for Zhang Tianshi to go to Ji'an Mansion." ”

"Alas!"

Zhang Yingjing finally couldn't help but sigh.

He is the cousin of Emperor Chongzhen, and he has not been cut by a thief, and he is already considered a thief to respect Longhu Mountain. What other options are there than to do so? Do you call a Taoist priest to fight?

Under the supervision of Fei Yingjing, Zhang Yingjing began to investigate Du Mu and dismissed more than 2,400 Taoist priests at one time.

It's been a few days since these things were done.

Fei Yinghui said again: "The servants in the Heavenly Master's Mansion will also be returned to the deed. If you are willing to stay, change to a short-term employment document. I will take with me those who do not want to stay. Also, don't abuse servants in the future! ”

Zhang Yingjing said: "How can a cultivator do abusive things? ”

"That might be." Fei Yinghui sneered.

Zhang Yingjing's face turned red and he told his son to gather the slaves.

Zhang Yuanji, the forty-sixth generation of angels, once plundered men as servants, plundered women as maids, and extorted goods. He also set up a private prison at home, killing more than 40 people before and after, and even killing all people.

At that time, he almost robbed his family and exterminated his family, and Lu Yu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, suggested that he should be deprived of the real person number and no longer canonize the Heavenly Master in the future.

It's a pity that there are too many people who plead, and Zhang Yuanji, the murderous heavenly master, was only imprisoned for two years, punished with a hundred rods, and sent Suzhou to fill the army.

Think about the pickling of Confucius Mansion in Shandong, and you will know how dirty the Zhang family in Longhu Mountain is. Tens of thousands of acres of land around Shangqing Town are all controlled by the Heavenly Master's Mansion, so much so that Fei Yinghui must bring five hundred regular soldiers to preside over the division of the fields!

Fei Yinghui didn't leave, so she stayed in the Heavenly Master's Mansion for the New Year.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Yingjing took his eldest son Zhang Hongren and more than a dozen Taoist priests to Ji'an with Fei Yingjing.

All the way by boat, the speed is very fast.

In the cabin, Zhang Yingjing, Zhang Hongren, father and son sighed. The foundation of Longhu Mountain could not be preserved, and only more than 900 acres of tens of thousands of acres of land were distributed, which were completely reserved according to the number of legal Taoist priests.

What can I do in the future?

Actually, they should be grateful to Zhao Han. Otherwise, during the rebellion of the three feudatories, the Heavenly Master's Mansion would be burned to the ground by Geng Jingzhong's rebels, and all kinds of goods in the mansion would be looted by the rebels.

"Father, just surrender that Zhao thief." Zhang Hongren said that he couldn't take care of Chongzhen's cousin anymore.

Zhang Yingjing sighed and said: "If you drop it, you can get the land back?" ”

Zhang Hongren said: "Persuade! ”

Zhang Yingjing's eyelids jumped, and he scolded in a low voice: "You are confused." If one day the thief is destroyed, we are forced to follow the thief, and everything has room to turn around. If the Heavenly Master's Mansion is persuaded to enter, it will be tied to the Zhao thief, and I am afraid that there will be a catastrophe that will never be recovered! ”

"The whole Jiangxi is gone, I heard that the northern and southern provinces are all disasters, there are rogues inside, and there are Tartar thieves outside, how can this Ming still be saved?" Zhang Hongren said, "Let's persuade us, just to offend the court." In the future, no matter who unifies the world, as long as it is not the Ming Dynasty, the Heavenly Master's Mansion will be fine. ”

"Let me think again." Zhang Yingjing's brows furrowed.

Zhang Hongren persuaded: "Don't think about it anymore, don't miss the work of persuasion." As long as it is successful, the Heavenly Master's Mansion can be carried forward in the new dynasty! ”

Zhang Yingjing thought about it and decided to act prudently, that is: he said it ambiguously, as if he was persuading, but he did not persuade him.

This group of Taoist priests was taken to Ji'an Mansion and left there to dry for several days before finally being summoned by Zhao Han.

The moment Zhang Yingjing saw Zhao Han, he was shocked by the other party's youth. Then, following this shock, he showed an even more exaggerated expression of surprise, and muttered to himself, "How so? And so it was! ”

Zhao Han smiled and asked, "What is the Heavenly Master talking about?" ”

Zhang Yingjing bowed his hand: "A few years ago, the Dao of Longhu Mountain turned into qi and fled. When I arrived in Ji'an at the beginning of the day before yesterday, I saw that there was a dragon and tiger in the city, which was colorful, and the spirit of the Son of Heaven was also! ”

"So?" Zhao Han exclaimed.

Zhang Yingjing said: "That's really the case! ”

Zhao Han said: "In this case, I will immediately go to the imperial court and relay Zhang Tianshi's words, asking the Son of Heaven Chongzhen to move the capital to Ji'an, or to continue the country of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Uh......"

Zhang Yingjing choked suddenly, and his son Zhang Hongren didn't know how to answer.

"Hahahaha!"

Zhao Han suddenly laughed: "Heavenly Master, don't panic, joke." ”

A joke made Zhang Yingjing lose his temper, and he dealt with it more carefully: "Mr. Zhao is heroic, and the old man is intimidated by majesty, so he is speechless, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”

Zhao Han looked at Zhang Hongren and asked, "How old is Ling Gongzi?" ”

"Back to the town, there are two out of twenty trails." Zhang Hongren said respectfully.

Zhao Han said: "Have you ever married a wife, but do you have children?" ”

Zhang Hongren replied: "Since childhood, I have never married a wife, let alone have no children. ”

"You can stay in Ji'an," Zhao Han said casually, "In the future, you should not only read the Daozang, but also study the Datong Collection, and it would be better if you could learn Mathematics and Geometry." ”

Is this to keep hostages?

But it's not necessary, who would keep a Taoist priest as a hostage?

Zhang Yingjing can't find a breakthrough now, his original plan was to say that Zhao Han has a genius. Whether Zhao Han believes it or not, he will be very happy when he thinks about it, which rebel doesn't like to hear this kind of talk?

As long as Zhao Han is happy, he can continue to contact and continue to coax Zhao Han to be happy.

Then, take the opportunity to ask Zhao Han to give land, and you can also give all kinds of property. If Zhao Han is exterminated by the imperial court, the Zhang family can get out of the way; If Zhao Han seizes the world, the Zhang family can soar.

But this routine was only at the beginning, and it was blocked back by Zhao Han.

What's next?

Zhang Yingjing sorted out the wording and said respectfully: "The town is benevolent and loves the people, and it has won the hearts of the people of Jiangxi. Although the old Taoist practiced in the mountains, he had also heard the prestige of the town for a long time, and now he saw that it was really extraordinary, and he could see the prestige of the people from afar. ”

Zhao Han smiled and said, "Shangqing Town is not in the mountains, right? It is easily accessible and the land is fertile. ”

Who is discussing with you where Shangqing Town is, the point is whether the second half of the sentence is good or not!

Zhang Yingjing completely understood at this time, Zhao Han didn't eat this at all, so he could only say: "If the general town wants to deal with the Heavenly Master's Mansion, please ask for instructions, and the old way will definitely obey." ”

Zhao Han put away his smile: "From now on, the Heavenly Master's Mansion, Shangqing Temple, and Zhengyi View will be subject to the current number of Taoist priests." It may be reduced but not increased, nor shall it be taken away from the people's land. If there is a violation, deprive the Heavenly Master of the honorable title! ”

Zhang Yingjing's face is like ashes, the huge Heavenly Master's Mansion, plus two Taoist temples, how can more than 200 Taoist priests do it?

It is the ancestral garden of Zhengyi!

Zhao Han pointed at Zhang Hongren again: "You stay in Ji'an, learn more new things, and then return to Longhu Mountain after learning "Mathematics" and "Geometry". ”

Zhang Hongren was speechless, his mind was blank, and he didn't know what Zhao Han wanted to do.
