Chapter 541: Emperor's Mind Technique
After leaving Yuhuatai, Zuo Yichun did not choose to continue to be his own teacher in the poor countryside, but came to the imperial capital. Although Chitose Jiang Wang and the three of them came together all the way, after entering the city wall, they tacitly parted ways. After all, he is also a top immortal monk who is famous in the entire Dream Country, and his sudden appearance in the downtown will naturally cause an uproar.
Jiang Wang was hilarious, while Zuo Yichun was the opposite, he liked to read the sages alone in the quiet room, so he found a house in Beicheng to live in. As for the other reason, it is because he is so shy that he has only a few pitiful pieces of silver, and even if he wants to live in a spacious mansion, he cannot afford to pay for the expensive money. Although if he revealed his identity, the rich businessmen and magnates of the entire imperial city would come to invite him, but how could Zuo Yichun be like this? Living his life honestly is much less worry-free than the red tape that needs to be done when dealing with countless people.
As for why he came to the Imperial City, only he knows. Zuo Yichun was actually originally from the imperial capital, born in the family of Zhong Ding Yushi, but for some reason, his family was in the middle of the road, so he would leave his hometown. And the reason why their family became depressed overnight was naturally the result of someone's plot.
More than ten years ago, the Zuo family was in this imperial capital, although it was not a family with the most right to speak, but it also had a very prestige. Half of the northern city is in the hands of the Zuo family. As for the other half of the city, it is in the hands of the Liu family on Jade Street. Although there is no feud between the two families, just because they don't like each other, and they want to make their business bigger, it is enough to contradict them. It was also at this time that the Liu family resorted to the means of yin damage, bought the murderer with a lot of money, and killed Zuo Yichun's father, that is, the head of the Zuo family at that time, on the way back from doing business in the imperial capital. The Wang family, which has no head of the family, is naturally a group of dragons without a leader. Within a month, the business was divided between the Liu family and the rest of the forces. Zuo Yichun, the eldest son of the Zuo family, who originally lived in the courtyard of the seven-in-seven-out mansion, became a beggar, begging during the day, and lived in a dilapidated temple that could barely shelter from the wind and rain at night. Three meals a day, also come and go, and being able to fill his stomach was already good for him at that time.
Maybe it's because God is pitiful, Zuo Yichun got the help of nobles and participated in this year's imperial examination, even in the middle of the three yuan, which could have been in the temple. It's just that there was a pressure left by the sun at that time, and there was no chance to revive the Zuo family after all. Disheartened, Zuo Yichun left the imperial capital, never thinking that he would build his own chest cultivation path in despair, and become an immortal monk who can fly immortals in the mouth of the people of the Dream Country. If you are an ordinary person, I am afraid that the first thing you will do after becoming an immortal monk and strengthening yourself is to return to the imperial capital to settle accounts with the Liu family. It's just that Zuo Yichun is too much like a scholar, and he can't bear to see how many people will become beggars begging along the street when his Liu family is destroyed. But on the other hand, the guilt of his father also made him not know what to do. Day after day, Zuo Yichun, who spent time in the entanglement, had to put his heart on the mountains and rivers, and when he had nothing to do, he became his own teacher. In the leaky private school, I went to teach a few children who didn't dare to get famous.
And the evaluation of him in the village is also extremely mean, "What way can you get out of studying? Look at your husband, after all, he is not just a poor scholar? So it is enough for you to learn a little, so that you will not be illiterate and deceived as a fool in the future." ”
Similar words, for Zuo Yichun, were far more painful than the piercing sword.
It wasn't until he met Zhuge Chen, or Zhuge Chen, who had regained his realm, that he knew how comfortable it should be to be an immortal monk and not be limited to the word rules. What's more, he was in such a situation because of the Liu family. Then you need the other party, blood debt and blood repayment!
But when he returned to the imperial capital, he found that things were far from as simple as he thought. Today's Liu family, not only is it a prosperous day, after the destruction of the Zuo family, the Liu family naturally took over the entire Beicheng, sitting on the right time and place, plus the large and small businesses that encroached on the Beicheng step by step. Then he used money to promote his own children, or simply bought the temple and civil and military, even if it was the Guogong Mansion, he did not dare to underestimate the strength of the Liu family. Even if Zuo Yichun is now a top immortal monk, he wants to reproduce the Liu family's behavior towards the Zuo family with his own strength, which is undoubtedly wishful thinking. You must know that Zuo Yichun, who is a scholar, is still slightly inferior in lethality compared to Chitose. As long as he dares to do so, there will be a hat on his head that seeks to usurp the throne. When the time comes, how can he escape?
Of course, Zuo Yichun didn't think about inviting Zhuge Chen to join him, but when he thought of his attitude towards the young man in white, as well as his own family affairs, he invited no one to help, so he retreated. Chitose, who is also familiar with Zuo Yichun, once said a very pertinent comment: "The scholar surnamed Zuo is not happy, not a corrupt Confucian, not as good as that rotten Confucian." ”
Zuo Yichun, who scoffed at the beginning, now smashes this sentence carefully, and feels that what he said is more and more right. With a sigh, he put the sage book in his hand on the table, stretched out his finger and pointed at the book, and said to himself with a wry smile: "Tell me about me, I have the name of an immortal monk, but I am a real waste, is it ridiculous?
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a knock at the door. Just as he was thinking about who would find him at this time, a voice came into his ears: "Mr. Zuo, such an abrupt visit is not my intention. It's just that the situation is urgent, and it has to be so, so I hope Mr. Zuo doesn't take it to heart. ”
Zuo Yichun raised his head and saw a young man standing at the door, dressed in a yellow robe and embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon. There is no need to guess, this person must be the emperor of the Dream Country. After all, if others dare to wear this clothes to swagger through the market, it is the crime of trespassing.
Zuo Yichun hurriedly stood up, invited the young emperor to the house, and said, "Your Majesty...... How can you come in person, and if there is something to tell the villain, it would be good. "Courier
The young emperor smiled and replied, "How can this be? I have long heard that Mr. Zuo is only eight years old, and I have always wanted to see you with my own eyes, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity. I heard that Guogong said that Mr. Zuo was now in the imperial capital, so he came non-stop. ”
An emperor can talk about this, and the impact on people is huge. What's more, putting aside the identity of the immortal monk, Zuo Yichun is just a scholar. And what does a scholar want most?
And the young emperor grasped this point, but in just a few words, he left an excellent impression on Zuo Yichun.
"Zuo Yichun is just a grass people, how can he withstand such praise from His Majesty!" Serving the tea, Zuo Yichun said with some apologies: "The family is poor, there is no good tea, I implore Your Majesty to drink it." ”
"Although the taste of tea is bland, it has a unique taste. Could it be that this is what several princes often tell me that tea is not good or bad, but who and where to drink it?" the young emperor nodded slightly, tasted the tea carefully, and then spoke.
Zuo Yichun just bowed his head and did not continue. Whether it is a scholar or an immortal monk, no matter what kind of identity Zuo Yichun is, he is not very good at dealing with people, let alone the current emperor of the Dream Kingdom. What's more, he was entangled in troubles, and he wanted to deal with the young emperor as soon as possible, and he was in this quiet room and carefully thought about countermeasures. If you still can't find a perfect way in the end, you will simply leave the imperial capital overnight and never return to this sad place.
The young emperor, who saw that the time was ripe, put the teacup on the table, picked up the sage book in front of him, and after flipping through the two pages, he said: "Look at Mr. Zuo's helpless appearance, it seems that there is something troubled? The prince who is most familiar with Mr. Zuo has already told me that Mr. Zuo is actually the eldest son of the Zuo family in Beicheng, I don't know if it's true or not?"
Zuo Yichun nodded lightly and said, "It's all old things, so don't mention it Your Majesty." ”
"How can I not mention it? If I didn't guess wrong, Mr. Zuo's return to the imperial capital this time must also be to understand the happy knot, right?" The young emperor's eyes flashed as sharp as a sword, as a monarch, it is naturally impossible to be polite everywhere, after all, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, and it is easy to damage his majesty if he is too close: "Since Mr. Zuo thinks that the Liu family is not easy to deal with, how about I come to help you?" It just so happened that the old prime minister told me some time ago about telling the old man to return to his hometown, and the reason why I didn't let him go was because although there were many capable people in the temple, there were really no people who could replace the old prime minister and do a perfect job. Who expected that when he was distressed, he met Mr. Zuo. If you can grant me a request, it will be my thanks!"
Zuo Yichun raised his head suddenly, and then lowered it again.
The young emperor continued: "It is true that Mr. Zuo is a monk of the Immortal Family, but in the final analysis, isn't he still a scholar? Wherever it is calculated, it is in accordance with the truth. Maybe it's a little difficult to get Mr. Zuo's answer now, and I'll let the royal family's spies stay near the house. If Mr. Zuo figured it out, it would be good to talk to him. And that spy is careful, I dare to guarantee that he will never disturb Mr. Zuo. ”
With that, the young emperor got up and walked towards the door. wanted to capture the old and indulge, the emperor's mental trick was vividly displayed by him at this time.
And Zuo Yichun followed to the young emperor's side and said, "When will you start?"
