Ming Dynasty: The ghost betrays the Confucian sage, my son Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 100 Your name is Luo Guanzhong? Do you know Shuangwen?
Taibai Restaurant.

In the elegant corridor by the window on the second floor, Fourth Master Zhu pulled Gu Cheng to sit down.

"Lao Gu, it's all over." Fourth Master Zhu waved, "To celebrate your escape from death, I won't come home until you're drunk today."

Gu Cheng did not sit down immediately. He stood there, staring deeply at Fourth Master Zhu, with tears of gratitude in his eyes.

Bang!

He knelt down directly towards Fourth Master Zhu, his voice choked with sobs: "Fourth Master, thank you for saving my whole family."

Seeing this, Fourth Master Zhu hurriedly helped Gu Cheng up and glared: "Old Gu, what are you doing? Why do we need to be so polite between us? You once blocked an arrow for me."

He patted Gu Cheng's shoulder hard to show intimacy and comfort.

Although Gu Cheng still looked depressed at this moment, his face was much better than the numb look he had in prison.

"Sit down, all in the wine." Fourth Master Zhu smiled.

Gu Cheng sat down under Zhu Fourth Master's persuasion, picked up the wine jar, raised his head and drank heavily. The strong alcohol entering his throat seemed to burn away the depression and pain in his heart.

He originally wanted to die, but he didn't expect that there would be the best of both worlds.

"Fourth Master, I respect you." Gu Cheng raised his glass.

"Lao Gu, you've just regained some of your popularity now." Fourth Master Zhu looked at Gu Cheng's face that was gradually regaining his vitality, and laughed and scolded, "When you were in prison, you were like a walking corpse."

Gu Cheng smiled when he heard this and raised his glass to drink again. After several glasses of wine, his originally pale face finally turned red.

"What are your plans next?" Master Zhu asked.

"I still decided to go to Jizhou, even if I am a small soldier." Gu Cheng's eyes were dim, "This is how I can be worthy of the people of Jizhou."

"Okay!" Fourth Master Zhu agreed.

He originally wanted to persuade Gu Cheng to join his beggar gang.

Now it seems that there is no need. Gu Cheng can only be Gu Cheng when he returns to Jizhou.

……

After Gu Cheng drank heavily, he finally became too drunk and fell asleep on the table. It had been a long time since he had such a peaceful sleep, and his breathing was steady and deep.

Seeing this, Fourth Master Zhu did not disturb him and just continued to taste the wine alone.

At this moment, a middle-aged Confucian scholar hurried past holding a stack of manuscripts.

Unexpectedly, the sleeping Gu Cheng suddenly stretched out a foot and happened to trip the middle-aged Confucian scholar.

Bang!

The middle-aged Confucian scholar fell onto the ground, and the manuscript in his hand was scattered on the ground.

"Oh, I'm so sorry! My friend was drunk and didn't notice you." Fourth Master Zhu stood up quickly, stepped forward to help the middle-aged scholar, and apologized repeatedly.

The middle-aged Confucian scholar didn't bother to dust himself off, and hurriedly knelt down to pick up the scattered manuscripts.

Fourth Master Zhu also helped pick up the manuscript and glanced at one of the pages inadvertently:
When Boshe looked back, Cao slashed Boshe under the donkey with his sword. Gong Da was shocked and said, "I just made a mistake. What should I do now?" Cao Cao said, "Bo She came home and saw many people killed. Are you willing to give up? If you lead the crowd to chase, you will be in trouble." Gong said. : "It is unjust to kill someone knowingly!" Cao Cao said, "I would rather teach me to betray the people of the world than teach the people of the world to betray me." Chen Gong was silent.

"Hey, isn't this "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?" Mr. Zhu blurted out in shock.

The middle-aged Confucian scholar was stunned when he heard this, looked up at Fourth Master Zhu, and said in surprise: "How do you know? I have just started writing the first volume of this book."

Fourth Master Zhu carefully looked at the middle-aged Confucian scholar in front of him, and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. He asked tentatively: "Could you be Mr. Luo Guanzhong?"

The middle-aged Confucian scholar was even more surprised: "How do you know me?"

His eyes were full of doubts and curiosity.

"It's really you." Fourth Master Zhu was overjoyed, "I've admired his name for so long, but I didn't expect to see him alive."

Luo Guanzhong, the author of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", was a novelist in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty.

Fourth Master Zhu had read the novel "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and watched the TV series in his previous life, so he was very familiar with the plot.

……

"Come on, Mr. Luo, I'll treat you to a drink." Fourth Master Zhu was very enthusiastic.

Luo Guanzhong was obviously a little confused. He came to the capital this time to meet his friends and planned to return to Hangzhou today.

"Uh, who are you?" he asked doubtfully.

"People here call me Fourth Master Zhu." Fourth Master Zhu waved his hand, "Come on, sit down!"

"Ah? Are you Fourth Master Zhu?" Luo Guanzhong was overjoyed.

As he sat down, he read a poem:

the river is long and tempestuous, it was like a hero.

Success or failure turned empty.

Aoyama is still there, How Many Suns.

The white-haired fisherman Qiao Jiangzhu used to watch autumn and spring.

A jug of muddy wine meets together.

Many things from ancient to modern times are all being discussed with laughter.

"Is this a lyric written by you?" Luo Guanzhong's eyes shone, "It's so well written. This is the best lyric I've seen recently."

"Doesn't it match the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" you wrote? It should be used as the opening sentence." Fourth Master Zhu smiled.

"Linjiang Immortal: The Rolling Waters of the Yangtze River Pass East" was written by Yang Shen, a talented scholar during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. Later generations used this poem as the opening chapter of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

"Is it okay?" Luo Guanzhong was excited.

"Of course!" Fourth Master Zhu said proudly, "Come on, let me tell you about "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". You wrote it very well, but it's not good enough. Do you know the good writing?"

"What is Shuangwen?" Luo Guanzhong asked.

"Well, whether cool articles are brainless or not, I know a guy called 'The Greedy Squid', and his writing is very brainless." Mr. Zhu frowned, "You definitely can't write mindless cool articles. To be cool, you have to be dense. , and it must be logical..."

he said in a crackling voice.

Luo Guanzhong listened quite seriously and said thoughtfully: "Better? It makes sense."

Fourth Master Zhu slapped his head and shut up.

Damn it, this is Luo Guanzhong who wrote the Four Great Classics. Don’t lead him into a corner.

If a cool version of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" were released, I would be a sinner for the ages.

"Fourth Master, your thinking is very clear." Luo Guanzhong said seriously, "I will consider it."

"You'd better not think about it, I'm just talking nonsense." Fourth Master Zhu waved his hand, "Sir, I see you are very talented, why don't you go back to Hangzhou and follow me."

Luo Guanzhong stood up vigilantly and took a few steps back.

He has been in the capital for a while, and of course he knows that Fourth Master Zhu is the leader of the secret forces in the capital.

"I don't know how to kill people." He waved his hand.

"Hey, I don't need you to kill people." Fourth Master Zhu said with a black line, "I want to set up an academy, you can be the teacher of the academy."

Luo Guanzhong was shocked for a moment, then shook his head: "I...I'd better go back to Hangzhou."

Fourth Master Zhu spread his hands and said, "You will be my husband, and I will cover all the expenses you need for your creation, and I will also give you ten taels of silver every month."

Luo Guanzhong nodded immediately: "Okay! Fourth Master, I will hang out with you from now on."

Fourth Master Zhu: "..."

He is truly worthy of being a scholar, capable of bending and stretching.

In fact, Luo Guanzhong had difficulties, because he was devoted to creation, had no income, and had huge expenses, so he needed money.

"Hey, if you are a thousand years from now, you will be a rich man." Fourth Master Zhu smiled, "Your manuscript fees, various adaptation fees, and by the way, the box office of your "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" alone is hundreds of millions. .”

Luo Guanzhong was confused when he heard this.
