Chapter 5: Shocking Change (5)
In the summer of the third year of Zhengde, I was ordered to go to the sea to find Wang Zhi, a eunuch in the Chenghua period. At that time, the dust-free Taoist was still a thousand households in the Fusi of Jinyi Weinan Town, and his real name was Ran Pingzong. He is a Jinyi Wei who has been passed down from generation to generation, and his father is a thousand Jinyi Wei in the Chenghua period, but later he had something to do with the White Lotus Sect, touched his head, and died early. So in terms of qualifications, he has been in the business for ten years. Integrity, never fake public and selfish, don't like flattery, just rely on the ability to eat, although his father has some embarrassing things, but at that time, the commander of Jinyiwei made Mu Bin always one one, two is two, only look at his ability, do not pursue anything else, in this way, it has been reused. In the past few years, it has gradually achieved thousands of households in Jinyiwei. In the first year of Zhengde, Liu Jin took power and promoted his confidant Shi Yi to be the commander, and Mu Bin was forced to return to his hometown and almost lost his life.
Ran Pingzong naturally suffered a loss, and he has been depressed for five years, and there has hardly been a wave. At that time, I was Liu Jin's person, and I relied on extraordinary efforts to re-do the Beizhen Fusi Pacification Envoy, and naturally did a lot of things for Liu Jin. is even more respectful to Liu Jin, and Liu Jin is also very fond of me. Many people were quite disgusted with my behavior, and there were many discussions behind my back, although Ran Pingzong didn't say too much, and occasionally contacted, he also knew that he looked down on me very much.
The so-called people who achieve great things are not informal, I was in this kind of mentality at the time, not to mention that everything I did was arranged by my father-in-law Zhang Yong, so I couldn't explain it to anyone.
Legend has it that Wang Zhifu is rival the country, and he has a map of the Ming Dynasty in his hand, and has been living on an unknown island overseas. Therefore, Liu Jin sent me to the sea to find Wang Zhi, in order to justify the name, Liu Jin asked Nanzhen Fusi to accompany him, Ran Pingzong took the initiative to ask to go to sea, and gave Liu Jin a gift for the first time, just like that, Ran Pingzong and I set off together.
We first went to Xiaoling in Nanjing, then to the West Lake in Hangzhou, to the coast of Fujian, boarded a ship into the sea, and prepared to go to Yizhou. Once because of a typhoon, he was trapped on a desert island, lost contact with a large group of ships, and for three days and three nights, he did not eat or drink, which can be regarded as a friend in distress. Later, they were saved, and they were already very cooperative with each other, and it took a lot of effort to finally find Wang Zhi.
Wang Zhi is really rich and rivals the country, but his subordinates are full of talents, Chinese and foreign exchanges, just like a prince, if we are a Jinyi guard, we will not be able to get close to him. Thanks to my identity as the protector of the White Lotus Sect, and with the help of Liu Fengqing, a thief in the rivers and lakes, we have to go ashore.
In fact, Wang Zhi knew the purpose of my trip from the beginning, and his ears and eyes had already inquired about me clearly, maybe it was because of his talents, maybe for some other reason, he talked with me very happily, said many palace secrets, solved many mysteries, and gave me a set of maps of the Ming Dynasty, and some treasures, but hoped that I would give them to the imperial court, not to Liu Jin. Tell me that Liu Jin won't be too long, in all dynasties, no eunuch can start and finish well, no matter how powerful he once was, one day, he will be defeated.
Originally, it was considered a complete merit, but when we were about to come back, Ran Pingzong suddenly attacked and wanted to assassinate Wang Zhi, but he was captured. It turned out that his father was killed by Wang Zhi, I hurriedly went to intercede, but Wang Zhi didn't care, saying that the situation back then, in order to succeed in big things, I had to sacrifice some small people. He didn't blame us, saying that his days were numbered, and that it was impossible for us to find him here, so he let us go back.
Through this incident, Ran Pingzong had a good impression of me, and on the one hand thanked me for saving my life, on the other hand, he denounced the darkness of Jinyiwei and the imperial court, and regretted that I followed Liu Jin.
I couldn't tell him the truth, I just said that I couldn't help myself, and persuaded him to bear with it for the time being. When I returned to the capital, I thought about it and dedicated my treasure to Liu Jin. Liu Jin was overjoyed and promoted me to be the commander of the Jinyi Guard, which can be described as a great favor, and Ran Pingzong was greatly disappointed in what I had done, so he proposed to resign.
It stands to reason that it is impossible to leave the house easily after entering the door of Jinyiwei, even if you are old. I persuaded him many times, but he always sent me away on the grounds that the way was different, and I had to let him go. He simply became a Taoist priest, called himself the head of the dustless Taoist, began to be in Beijing, and then went to other places, and was never seen again.
I don't want to see each other here in 13 years, and I'm really surprised and delighted. Although his face was solemn, he also had a bit of joy, and he didn't feel like he stepped forward to see him.
"Dao Chief, don't come unharmed!" I clenched my fists.
"Master Zhu, how are you!" The dustless Taoist chief looked at me and returned the salute: "I have always heard that Lord Zhu has done many good things and is highly valued by the imperial court. Poor Dao thought that he had no chance to see him again, and he didn't want to meet him here again, but he was fortunate to have three lives. β
I smiled and said, "The Taoist is smiling, he is not an ordinary man, but the Taoist is still so delicate, and it has basically not changed from ten years ago." It seems that I have a deep understanding of it! β
The dustless Taoist shook his head lightly and said, "The Tao is very shallow, but the heart is pure and has few desires, let it be." Why did Lord Zhu come to Jiuli Mountain? I said, "I'm ordered to go back to Beijing, just passing through here." The dustless Taoist nodded, "Lord Zhu is still a busy man!" I shook my head and said, "I can't help myself, the emperor's dragon is not in good health, I was ordered to return to Beijing!" β
Wuchen Dao smiled and said meaningfully: "Such a young person, hey, maybe it's the life of the Zhu family!" He pointed at the man in white with a whisk and said: "Little apprentice Xiao Luo, naughty by nature, he may be scared of you, how offended, please forgive me!" β
I took a closer look at Xiao Luo, but a child, with a smile on his face, his eyes were innocent, but his right wrist was swollen, presumably I hit him, and the dustless Taoist said: "This child is also a hard-working person, and his father is also our Jinyiwei, but, hey, his parents died early, he may have been scared, he has not been very understanding of the world, and he has been with the poor road for five years, and he still looks like a child." Behaves perversely, but without malice. Feeling unconsciously sighed, I felt it in my heart, and quickly took out the bone-setting medicine from my arms and asked Guo Zheng to quickly give him medicine.
Seeing this, the chief of the dust-free road smiled and said: "Although the poor road is not a weapon, he also knows some medicine for falls, and his injuries are okay." β
At this time, the sky is bright, and the majestic Jiuli Mountain is becoming more and more lush. I had something in my heart, and it was inconvenient to stay for a long time, so I said to the dustless Taoist: "Daoist, I still have something to do, so I won't stay here, if the Taoist goes back to Beijing, you might as well come to me." The dustless Taoist chief smiled and said: "The poor road is home all over the world, and I am adrift, and I am afraid that the capital will not be able to go back." The adults are kind, and the poor Dao understands it. I just don't know where my home is, adults? β
I was stunned for a moment and said, "Why did the Taoist say this?" The Dustless Daoist looked around and said to me, "My lord, can you listen to the poor Dao say a few more words?" I don't know what he is going to do, glanced at Guo Zheng, Guo Zheng and the others understood, and walked a long way, the dustless Taoist looked at the surrounding scenery, and said: "A few days ago, the poor road met an old man from outside the Saiwai, and talked about the affairs of the Ming Dynasty, especially the adult, saying that the son of the great tomorrow is not in good health, if there is an accident, he will inevitably welcome the new king, but I am afraid that the adult will not live too comfortably in the new dynasty." β
I couldn't help but be thrilled when I heard it, could it be that old man outside the Saiwai could be her? Thinking of Li Cong's words again, could it be that this dustless Taoist chief is also a lobbyist? Wuchen Dao Chang continued: "Emperor Zhengde is acting strangely, the people of the world have been suffering for a long time, if the new monarch ascends the throne, it will inevitably push everything, and the adults are Zhengde's minions, they will inevitably be implicated, and even have to worry about their lives." The adult has been for the country for many years, and he has done his best, but this emperor is too unobtrusive, so the old man can't bear it, so he gives the adult two ways, one is to support the new monarch, in order to support the merit, maybe you can also retain the glory and wealth, and the other is to resign immediately and stay away from the capital, so that the adult is rich and noble, and it is not a good thing to be Tao Zhugong. "Tao Zhu Gong is the Spring and Autumn Period of the Yue State Doctor Fan Li, Wu Yue for hegemony, Yue King Gou Jian lost, almost destroyed the country, he was able to lie down and taste the courage, reuse the doctor Fan Li, Wen Chong, recuperation for ten years, attack and destroy Wu State, the achievement of hegemony, Fan Li, Wen Chong is indispensable, but Gou Jian is insidious, and the two have long been on guard, so, on the day of the destruction of Wu State, Fan Li left the King of Yue, left the Yue Kingdom, and became rich in business, known as Tao Zhu Gong, and Wen Chong was killed by Gou Jian.
I didn't feel dumbfounded, and said for a long time: "What? Do you all think that the emperor will have an accident? Wuchen Dao smiled and said, "People are inherently dead!" But those who are alive have to think about living! I sighed lightly and said, "It's not that I'm greedy for glory and wealth, it's just that at this time, I can't help myself." If I were asked to do anything else, I would be powerless. Hi, I just want the emperor to recover! β
The dustless Taoist shook his head lightly and said, "The old man said that adults are temperamental people and will definitely not do anything else, so they can only ask for more blessings." The capital is sinister, people's hearts are unpredictable, and adults should be more careful. Especially some of the old people of adults, people are not people, ghosts are not ghosts! β
I nodded, just wanted to ask the dustless Taoist who the old man was, but caught a glimpse of the top of the mountain, faintly there was a woman in white, who seemed to be looking here, I only felt overjoyed, just about to open her mouth, but her throat was tight, and when I looked again, the woman in white had turned around and disappeared, not feeling stupid, the dustless Taoist seemed to see through my thoughts, and said with a smile: "There is a natural meeting of thousands of miles, and it is rare to see it near without a chance, my lord, so do it yourself!" β
After that, he gave a deep salute and pulled the little Luo away.
The sun is shining, the mountains are verdant, I can see no people, the so-called close to the end of the world is just like this, I don't feel a gentle wave of my hand, my heart is sour, stunned. At this time, Guo Zheng walked up to the front and said in a low voice: "Big brother! Who is this man? Looking at some routines, it seems to have something to do with the White Lotus Sect? "I was stunned for a moment, thinking about Xiao Luo's behavior, it is indeed somewhat similar, and the father of the Dustless Dao Leader was executed by Wang Zhi because he joined the White Lotus Sect back then, could it be that the Dustless Dao Leader is also a member of the White Lotus Sect?
I also have a deep relationship with the White Lotus Sect, and I have even become the target of their hunting, and I can't help but gasp when I think of this. Life is really unpredictable, old friends, to be reunited, should be happy, but in a hurry, and guilty, hey, I can't help but sigh lightly, and said, "Let's go, let's continue to hurry!" β
When I flew on the horse and galloped on the official road with everyone, I was in a trance, and I returned to my youth, and the past appeared in front of meγγγγγγ
