Chapter 4: The Death of a Dying Old Man (4)
When he was panicking, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly sighed and said, "These days, I often think of my old brothers. Chang Yuchun Changxian brother, Hu Dahai Hu's second brother, Guo Ying's fourth brother...... At night, I often dream of fighting side by side with my brothers, fighting on the battlefield, and in a trance, it seems to be back to the past. ”
Xu Dadao: "Brothers sacrificed their lives for the country, their death is heavier than Mount Tai, and it will go down in history. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Brother Xian is reasonable. When I look back on the past, I suddenly remembered another thing: Do you remember the rumors that were popular in the army at the beginning?"
Xu Da said: "Please make it clear to Your Majesty." ”
"The rumors claim that the Mingjiao Sect advocates Wuji, and it was forced away by my tricks. ”
Xu Da hurriedly said: "This is deliberately spread by people with ulterior motives, intending to shake the morale of the army, Your Majesty doesn't have to take it seriously." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "However, Sect Leader Zhang suddenly left a book and said goodbye, but did not explain the reason, which led to rumors up and down the Ming Sect. I remember that before leaving, Sect Leader Zhang gave the "Wu Mu Testament" obtained from Shaolin Temple to the virtuous brother. Since Sect Leader Zhang is so important to his virtuous brother, did he reveal the reason before leaving?"
Shaolin Temple Lion Slaying Conference, Mingjiao got the secret book hidden in the Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slayer, afterwards, after discussing with Zhang Sanfeng, Shaolin monks and martial arts seniors, Zhang Wuji distributed the secret book.
The Nine Yin True Scripture was originally passed down by the great hero Guo Jing, and the Emei faction was created by Guo Xiang, the daughter of Guo Daxia, and the return of the Nine Yin True Scripture to the Emei faction was equivalent to returning the thing to its original owner; the eighteen palms of the dragon and the method of beating the dog stick were originally the secret of the beggar gang, and it should be returned to the beggar gang; there was only one copy of the "Wu Mu Testament", and everyone proposed that Zhang Wuji keep it for himself. Because Mingjiao is the main force to drive out the Tartars, leaving this military book is just the right place to come in. But after Zhang Wuji thought about it repeatedly, he gave the book to Xu Da.
At that time, among the anti-Yuan forces of Mingjiao, Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da were the most powerful, and Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da had a life-saving grace for Zhang Wuji, especially Xu Da, Zhang Wuji had a good impression of him, so he gave him the "Wu Mu Testament". After that, Xu Da attacked everything on the anti-Yuan battlefield, and most of the battles were defeated, and most of them also benefited from this book.
The remaining Yitian Sword was originally left by Guo Jing and his wife, and it should have belonged to the Emei faction, while the Dragon Slayer Sword was left in the Ming Sect as a check and balance. Later, Zhang Wuji left a book and said goodbye, and the dragon slayer knife also stayed in Mingjiao. Later, all the ministries of Mingjiao became kings independently, and Mingjiao existed in name only. The leaders of the Ming Sect went to other places, and the whereabouts of the dragon slayer knife are unknown. In addition, the Holy Fire Order, the treasure of the Ming Sect, and the Qiankun Great Mind Shifting Method, are also missing.
Xu Da saw that Zhu Yuanzhang actually asked him about the reason why Zhang Wuji said goodbye, and realized that the emperor had become suspicious of him, so he hurriedly said: "When Sect Leader Zhang presented the "Wu Mu Testament" to Weichen, His Majesty was also present. At that time, Sect Leader Zhang encouraged us to work hard to resist the Yuan, but he never said that he wanted to leave the Ming Sect. As for why Sect Leader Zhang didn't say goodbye later, Weichen didn't know. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, sighed again, and said, "Sect Leader Zhang went to become a mystery, but he was used by people with ulterior motives, and slandered that I forced Sect Leader Zhang away. What's more, some gangsters have formed gangs based on this rumor and committed misdeeds in the name of rebuilding Mingjiao......"
Xu Da hurriedly said: "At the beginning, Sect Leader Zhang left a book and said goodbye, and passed the position of Sect Leader to Yang Xiao, the left envoy of Guangming. From this, it can be seen that Sect Leader Zhang has long intended to retire. Moreover, after His Majesty established the country, taking Ming as the name of the country is enough to prove that His Majesty has a clear conscience. In the name of rebuilding Mingjiao, some people in the rivers and lakes have formed gangs and factions, and they have swaggered and deceived people, but it is just a disease of ringworm, and there are many people of insight in the rivers and lakes, and such misdeeds will never set off storms......"
Just now, Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at Sang and scolded Huai and reprimanded the imperial doctor, Xu Da was shocked into a cold sweat, and the sweat soaked into the wound on his back, which was painful and itchy. But because he was in front of the emperor, Xu Da was inconvenient to wipe, so he could only forcibly endure it. Unexpectedly, the more he endured, the more sweat on his body, the more sweat soaked into the wound, and the itching became more and more intense. Although Xu Da tried his best to endure it, his face involuntarily showed a look of pain.
Zhu Yuanzhang found out, his face sank, and said: "Why is the virtuous brother sweating profusely and showing a painful look on his face, is what he just said against his will?"
Xu Da was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Weichen doesn't dare." What Wei Chen just said was from the bottom of his heart. ”
"That is, words from the heart, in order to show the color of pain?"
Xu Da lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty's golden body, actually visited Weichen in person, and Weichen was so grateful that his blood boiled, and he couldn't help sweating profusely. Unexpectedly, sweat soaked into the wound on the back, and the pain was unbearable. Because in front of His Majesty's drive, Weichen did not dare to act rashly, so he had to forcibly endure it, so he showed a painful look on his face. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned and said, "I see, but I blame the virtuous brother." Then he sighed and said, "Brother Xian and I, named Junchen, are actually brothers, so we don't need to be so restrained. ”
Xu Daying said: "Thank you, Your Majesty." As he spoke, he wiped the sweat from his face with the sleeve of his hand. He had the intention to call someone in and wipe the wound on his back for himself, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't speak, and Xu Da didn't dare to summon him privately.
I heard Zhu Yuanzhang say: "Presumably, it is inconvenient for the virtuous brother to wipe his back, so it is better to let me do it for me." ”
Xu Da lowered his head and said: "Wechen doesn't dare to work, long live!"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said, "Where did the virtuous brother speak." Brother Xian was born and died for my country, what did I do to wipe your sweat for you? Come, please take off your shirt. As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve.
Xu Da touched the ground with his head: "Weichen doesn't dare." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Eh, how did the virtuous brother become such a mother-in-law? I asked you to loosen your clothes, you just do it, do you have to let me make an order?"
"Wechen doesn't dare, Wechen deserves death. Xu Da said, knelt on the ground, took off the clothes on his upper body, and then turned around and turned his back to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang wiped the sweat from Xu Da's back with a handkerchief, and carefully wiped the old wound with dorsal gangrene several times, and said while wiping: "If I remember correctly, the injury on the back of the virtuous brother was plotted by Yu Gao, right?"
Xu Da lowered his head: "Exactly." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Brother Xian has suffered. ”
"In order to repay His Majesty's kindness, Weichen is full of liver and brains, and he will not give up. ”
"Brother Xian's words are serious. I still remember that after the virtuous brother was plotted by Yu Gao, I wanted to execute Yu Gao, but it was the virtuous brother who begged me to forgive Yu Gao. Later, I talked with the Northern Yuan and was ambushed, and thanks to Yu Gao's desperate guards, I was able to escape. The virtuous brother is eloquent and strategic, and he is really the pillar of my Ming Dynasty. ”
"Your Majesty's beautiful words, Wei Chen is ashamed to take it. ”
