People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 59 Family, the crime of deceiving the king

"Brother, speak up if you have something to say!"

Zhang Yi was caught off guard and was successfully attacked by Zhang Yuchu. His childish instinct made him run away.

Zhang Yuchu has been holding back this fire for a long time, how can he let him go and catch up immediately.

"If you have the guts, don't run away. Today, you and I will cut off all ties, and I will kill you!"

"Zhang Yuchu, have you ever beaten me in a fight? If I hadn't cared about my brotherhood, the grass on your grave would have been three feet high!"

"Who is your brother? If you are a brother, you still let your father beat me...!"

The two brothers chased after each other, which made everyone laugh.

It was also rare that Zhang Zhengfei didn't act like a patriarch, and stopped the two brothers from messing around.

He was deprived of the title of Celestial Master by Lao Zhu, and he was "voluntarily" handed over many powers of the Celestial Master's Mansion. Lao Zhang has been practicing in Longhu Mountain for a while, but he has recovered some of the Zhang family's lost 80 years of purity.

He has not felt this kind of family and family harmony, "brothers and brothers respect each other" for a long time.

After a long time after the two brothers fought, he said:
"Be quiet, Yu Chu, you have to set an example as an elder brother, don't bring your younger brother down!"

Zhang Yuchu:? ? ?

Does this sentence sound familiar?
Lao Zhang's famous double-standard face made Zhang Yuchu tired and unlovable.

On Zhang Yi's side, seeing that Zhang Yuchu had stopped chasing him, he trotted all the way back to his elder brother.

After he realized it, he probably understood the reason why Zhang Yuchu wanted to chase and beat him. In fact, it was not difficult to guess.

Zhang Yi is now almost an equal in Zhang Normal's mind. He reminded Zhang Normal in his letter to discipline Zhang Yuchu strictly, and Zhang Normal probably listened to it.

He didn't regret suggesting Lao Zhang to do this, on the contrary, he felt that he was responsible for Zhang Yuchu's life.

Zhang Yuchu can be regarded as the last high Taoist of the Zhang family, even in the entire history of Taoism, he has his own status.

It's a pity that this position is a bit embarrassing. As a celestial master, his main achievement is actually above Confucianism. Song Lian, a great Confucian in the early Ming Dynasty, even said: "In the early days of the country, there were many famous monks, and Taoists with literature, Du Yuchu was the only one. Later, there were very few..."

If you are an ordinary Taoist, this sentence can be understood as a compliment, but as a leader of the Taoist sect, it is more subtle. It is equivalent to that you are the emperor, and others praise you for your carpenter's work!

This is quite understandable. In the original historical trajectory, Zhang Normal died early, before passing on the true biography of Longhushan to Zhang Yuchu. Talented and clever.

But another thing is even more embarrassing.

Because the eldest brother has not been working as a celestial master for a long time, he was raped by Emperor Jianwen because of "illegal living in the countryside", which is really embarrassing!
If Judy hadn't brought him back, it would be a shame!

So he made Dad look wrong, right?
"Brother, no matter what is wrong with my younger brother, please forgive me!"

Zhang Yi knew that his elder brother was not really angry, so he gave in, and Zhang Yuchu glared at him angrily:
"It's a pity that I treat you well, and you don't tell me if you want to leave home? You should tell me anyway, a good family, I sent you out with dad, but dad came back alone... woo..."

While talking, Zhang Yuchu's eyes turned red, Zhang Yi took a deep breath, mother, don't be moved by a little kid!

Even though there are thousands of words in his heart, Zhang Yi is speechless so far, he can only salute again:

"Brother, brother is wrong!"

"Okay, let's not say a word!"

Zhang Normal interrupted the communication between the two brothers, he turned his head and said to Deng Zhongxiu:

"You take them back to the last Taoist temple to rest, and I have something to say with your two junior brothers!"

Deng Zhongxiu nodded when he heard the words, turned around and took the accompanying Taoist priests away.

"Father, why did you bring your elder brother here this time?"

As the promoter behind the incident, Zhang Yi naturally understood the purpose of Lao Zhang's visit to Beijing, but it was strange that he brought Zhang Yuchu here even though he had something important to do.

Zhang Normal was a little embarrassed when he heard the words. If he didn't really understand the content of Zhang Yi's book, he didn't want to take Zhang Yuchu with him.

I have to say that Song Lian's words are correct. In Taoism in the early Ming Dynasty, there may be many high Taoists, but Zhang Yuchu is the only one who can be admired in terms of reading!
The book that Zhang Yi considers to be popular science is quite difficult for the ancients to understand.

In particular, Zhang Normal needed to understand and digest quickly so as to cope with the emperor's arrangement. He later found that Zhang Yuchu could quickly sort out the key points of the book, and the time was tight enough, so he simply took his son and endorsed for him along the way!

But how could Lao Zhang say such a shameful thing, he just said lightly:
"Let him practice and practice!"

"The three of us, father and son, find a clean place to talk!

Then go to my alchemy room, it's absolutely safe there! "

Zhang Yi's alchemy room is definitely the most valuable place in the entire Taoist temple. In order to practice his ideas, Zhang Yi almost spent all his money here. Naturally, this is the best place to talk.

Zhang Yuchu didn't understand why the father and son didn't go to the room to talk.

When Zhang Yi brought a few people over, Zhang Normal said to Zhang Yi:

"According to your method, I have successfully vaccinated the smallpox. I have also successfully vaccinated up and down Longhu Mountain. A few days ago, smallpox broke out in Lijiazhuang at the foot of the mountain. I went up and down Longhu Mountain to the local area, and no one was infected!
Also, I will choose some villagers to use the remaining vaccinia, and none of the villagers will get sick!

This method is the method of benefit for thousands of years, and it is also the way to make my Longhu Mountain famous in history. Zhang Yi, in the name of the 42nd generation of the Zhang family, thank you for your efforts for Longhushan! "

Zhang Normal first thanked Zhang Yi solemnly. When Zhang Yuchu heard these words, his whole eyes would pop out.

This plot does not match the scene he imagined!

"It's enough to be well prepared, father, this is an opportunity for Longhushan, and it is also an opportunity for me, Longhushan, to jump out of the Taoism itself and influence history. Next, I will watch my father perform!"

Zhang Yi didn't dare to accept his father's big gift, so he quickly jumped up to return the gift.

The father and son bowed to each other, and Zhang Normal remembered his request to Zhang Yi when he left Beijing last time, and smiled with relief.

"and many more!"

Their harmonious atmosphere was interrupted by the bewildered Zhang Yuchu.

"Father, Daddy, I don't understand? Isn't the method of vaccination my father entrusted to my father in a dream, the method of the gods?"

Zhang Yuchu was a little flustered, as if he had heard something extraordinary.

Zhang Yi and Zhang Normal looked at each other and smiled, and the latter replied:
"You are a direct descendant of my Zhang family, so I should let you know some things. In fact, the magic taught by the immortal is just an excuse. This acne method comes from your brother's dream...

Whether that "True Sutra of the Great Law of the Microcosmic World" or the medical book in your father's hands, it's all written by your younger brother! "

hiss~
Zhang Yuchu's worldview almost collapsed, so it's not his father who got the fairy fate, but his younger brother Zhang Yi?

It turned out that the so-called Master Zhang's destiny was just a game arranged by the father and son.

And they were still thinking about sending this thing to the palace to benefit Longhushan?

"Father, this is the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

Zhang Yuchu was a little flustered.

"What a big deal, isn't it deceiving the king!"

Zhang Yi even ran over to comfort him!
Zhang Yuchu: ...
