Chapter 12: Rebellion
"Amitabha, can the donor give the poor monk a bowl of water to drink!" A bald monk stood outside the door and shouted into the courtyard.
"Who?" Zhu Yang looked out of the door vigilantly, while Liu Yuan and Lu Jin took out their swords from the house and slowly walked towards the courtyard door.
This small courtyard is one of the safe places that Zhu Yang uses to escape, between a bunch of inconspicuous homestays, the houses of the neighbors on the left and right are almost the same, but now there is a monk who has chosen this small courtyard to ask for water to drink, which makes Zhu Yang a little uneasy.
"You go ahead!" Zhu Yang motioned for Liu Yuan to go and let Lu Jin hide in the shadows, killing him as long as the monk made the slightest move.
"Come on!" Liu Yuan walked to the door, opened the door, and saw a bald monk standing at the door wearing a tattered robe, motionless, like an ascetic who kept to himself.
"Donor, can you give a bowl of water to the poor monk to drink?" The monk sang a Buddha horn and said.
"No, no, let's go!" Liu Yuan waved his hand, wanting to send the monk away.
"Donor, you better give alms a bowl of water, otherwise your master will blame you in the future!" The monk smiled and said, "In addition, the poor monk has no malice, the benefactor next to the door, please put down the knife in your hand, otherwise it will only increase the obstacles!" ”
"Who the hell are you?" Liu Yuan squinted, blocked the monk outside the door, and asked sharply.
"The poor monk is a monk!" The monk said, "The donor must let the poor monk make it clear here, this is the Beijing master, there are brocade guards everywhere, your master is now on the cusp, if some more exciting news breaks out, then he is not only hopeless in the imperial examination, maybe he will also fall to the ground!" The monk is not panicked at all, his biggest reliance is his identity.
This monk's name is Wei Tonghe, is an altar master of the White Lotus Sect, before a long time in Hubei activities, and later because of his excellent performance, he was sent to Beijing to participate in activities, he has been as a monk to make friends with dignitaries, but also with money or beauty to attract and threaten students to participate in the imperial examination.
Because of the scandal with Xu Miaojin, Zhu Yang became famous in Beijing, Wei Tonghe inquired a little about Zhu Yang's information, and he found that Zhu Yang actually had a top talent.
It is involved with the Duke of Wei, and it is a champion talent, and he will definitely be in the future in the future.
Wei Tonghe thought about it in his heart, and secretly decided that he must pull Zhu Yang into the White Lotus Sect, and when Zhu Yang is in a high position one day, then he can come to the White Lotus Sect to meet the inside, and Da Ming will not become his White Lotus Sect's bag.
"So you're a fugitive?" Liu Yuan said tentatively.
"Fugitives? Hahaha...... It can only be regarded as a half-pair ......," Wei Tonghe laughed.
"Liu Yuan, let him in!" Zhu Yang stood at the door and looked at Wei Tonghe and ordered, he could see that this monk was not good.
"Master, please!" Zhu Yang smiled and said, "Liu Yuan, since this master wants water to drink, you can make a bowl of well water for this master to drink, remember to have more sediment, after all, clean water has many creatures that we can't see, since the master is a high-ranking monk, he definitely can't bear to kill, so the water is more turbid, and there are fewer creatures we can't see, and the master won't break the vows!" ”
Zhu Yang is serious nonsense.
And Wei Tonghe couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth when he listened, he said that begging for a bowl of water was just a head, in order to give Zhu Yang a reason to invite him in, and now that he has come in, shouldn't he be entertained with good tea? And what is a creature called a creature? Why do I write these two words, I don't understand what they mean when combined!
"Great!" Liu Yuan knew that his young master was rectifying the person again, so naturally he would not expose it, but on the contrary, he decided to get more sand and soil in it, just now this monk was threatening his own young master.
"Master, you sit, you don't know that I like monks very much, you monks just need to sit in the temple, beat wooden fish every day, and recite unintelligible scriptures, those unlucky ghosts...... Bah...... Pilgrims will automatically send to the door, said that this pilgrim is really strange, they not only send money, some also send the body, I don't know if the Buddha's body will collapse, anyway, if I, every day there are pilgrims to send the body over, I will collapse, right like the master with a haggard face, pale face...... Hey, master, are you sick? I know a little bit about medical skills, do you want to prescribe a few prescriptions for the master, what kind of deer whip, donkey whip or something, I'm very good at it......" Zhu Yang was like a talker, chattering with Wei Tonghe about the seventeen different cooking methods of deer whip and donkey whip.
You're sick, your whole family is sick! Wei Tonghe felt as if there were five hundred flies screaming in his ears.
Finally, when Liu Yuan served a bowl of mud and couldn't see the water, Wei Tonghe finally couldn't help it.
"Stop, donor, the poor monk apologizes to you for your previous reckless behavior!" Wei Tonghe sang a Buddha horn and said apologetically.
"Two questions, who are you? What purpose? How did you find out here? Zhu Yang smiled, rubbing his sword in his hand, "Don't be smart, your threats are useless to me, if I am afraid, I will not come to Jingshi!" ”
"Ahem...... These are three questions" Wei Tonghe wanted to correct...... but saw that Zhu Yang was about to draw his sword, and immediately stabilized his mind, "The poor monk is Wei Tonghe, the altar master of the Jingshi branch of the White Lotus Sect, and this time he is following this guard behind you, but don't punish him, I'm here to send you a great creation." ”
"The altar master of the White Lotus Sect, it seems that the Jinyi Guard of the Jingshi is not strong, and he didn't even arrest you to peel your skin and cramp!" Zhu Yang glanced at Liu Yuan: Wait, I'll peel you later!
Liu Yuan sweated, he really forgot to hide his whereabouts before coming to this small courtyard.
Zhu Yang said with a smile, "It seems that the master's camouflage skills are good!" ”
"It's a fluke, it's just a fluke!" Wei Tonghe said modestly, but he was indeed very complacent.
He has been in Beijing for five or six years, constantly wandering around various noble houses, and those brocade guards are stunned that they don't notice him at all.
Outside the hospital.
Zhu Biao patted Jiang Xuan's shoulder: "Jiang Qing, Zhu Yang is questioning your ability!" ”
"Ahem...... Wechen was indeed a little careless before! Jiang Xuan said embarrassedly, most of the Jinyi guards in Jingshi are lurking in the homes of various nobles, mainly collecting evidence of "rebellion", as for a monk who seems to have an innocent background on the surface, Jiang Rong didn't pay attention to it, if it weren't for the recent Zhu Yuanzhang order to severely punish the White Lotus Sect, this Wei Tonghe is estimated to be lurking in the Beijing Division for a while.
"Lone isn't blaming you, but this White Lotus Sect is really going to clean up, and they actually stretched out their hands on the students!" Zhu Biao said.
"Wechen must be strictly investigated after he goes back!" Jiang Zhen hugged his fist at Zhu Biao.
"Well, but this Wei Tonghe will stay first!" Zhu Biao asked, "I want to see how he turns Zhu Yang into their person!" ”
"Yes!" Jiang Zhen nodded, he was not worried about Zhu Yang being rebelled, after all, the identity was there, and others had to rebel to ascend the throne, and Zhu Yang just had to wait for Zhu Biao to die, why did he spend so much effort?
……
"Master drink water!" Zhu Yang pointed to the bowl with no water and said.
"Uh...... Poor monks are not thirsty! Wei Tonghe refused with a drowning face, this Zhu Yang's subordinates are really real.
"How can you not be thirsty? The master was shouting at the gate of the courtyard just now, I thought you were really thirsty? Zhu Yang said.
"When you see the donor, you won't be thirsty!" Wei Tonghe sneered, "Let's get down to business." ”
"Say, I'll listen!" Zhu Yang did not continue to entangle.
"As long as Zhu Gongzi is willing to join us, I will help you win the champion in one fell swoop, and when the time comes, we will also use all our resources to help Zhu Gongzi and make you the youngest Shangshu, you must know that there is no prime minister in the court today, and Shangshu is above ten million people under one person!" Wei Tong and temptation.
"What do I have to pay for that?" Zhu Yang naturally understands that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
"It's good to talk to smart people!" Wei Tonghe patted Zhu Yang's ass and said, "Our White Lotus Sect has a relationship with Your Majesty, and even helped Your Majesty seize the world, but after Your Majesty ascended the throne, there was some misunderstanding of our White Lotus Sect, so we hope that after Zhu Gongzi ascends to the throne of Shangshu, he will be able to advise His Majesty and let the White Lotus Sect return to orthodoxy!" ”
"Oh? It's as simple as that? Zhu Yang wondered.
"Of course!" Wei Tonghe nodded, but muttered in his heart: Of course not, we want you to get out the information of the imperial court, and then work with us to kill Zhu Yuanzhang and let our sect leader ascend to the throne, so that I will be the founding teacher!
"Then why don't you let those imperial historians advise? Do you have to look for me? If I hadn't even tried, wouldn't your efforts have been in vain? Zhu Yang said.
"In fact, we invited the Imperial Historian to appeal for us before, but His Majesty misunderstood us too deeply and killed the Imperial Historian!" Wei Tonghe said with a sad face. "Pity a royal historian who is for the country and the people, and he died like this!"
"Well, it's pathetic!" Zhu Yang nodded: Poor fart, it's not a pity for a brainless Yushi to die.
"So we chose Zhu Gongzi this time because Zhu Gongzi has potential, I have inquired before I came, Zhu Gongzi defeated four Xie Yuan alone, and you are the champion!" Wei Tonghe said, "And I will also help Zhu Gongzi win the beauty." ”
"Beauty? You want to seduce me with a beautiful woman? Although Zhu Yang was questioning, his expression was, come on, come on, send beautiful women over as much as you want, don't pity me, I have strong kidneys.
"Huh?" Wei Tonghe didn't understand Zhu Yang's expression, but he understood Zhu Yang's excitement, so he said happily, "We will use all means to make Miss Xu San fall in love with Zhu Gongzi, and even let Wei Guogong take the initiative to marry Miss Xu San to you!" ”
"Xu Miaojin?" Zhu Yang suddenly felt a little pain in his skull, didn't he say that he was sending a beautiful woman? What about beauties? Don't Xu Miaojin!
Alas, I knew that it was better to use a specific name, and it was better to use Xu Miaoyun.
Uh, wait, Xu Miaoyun seems to be Zhu Di's wife......
Zhu Yang suddenly felt that he was so lucky, if he really used Xu Miaoyun, it was estimated that he would not be able to wait for the Battle of Jingyan, and Zhu Di would definitely lead the army to kill Zhu Yang immediately.
Wei Tonghe saw that Zhu Yang was rubbing his head, thinking that Zhu Yang was snickering, and said, "It seems that Zhu Gongzi is a little impatient!" ”
After speaking, Wei Tonghe also handed over a token to Zhu Yang: "Zhu Gongzi is the token of our White Lotus Sect's deputy altar master, as long as you hold this token, you can call on manpower and resources at will in the entire capital division!" ”
