Ming Dynasty: A hundred-year-old immortal cultivator, Zhu Yuanzhang’s biological father

Chapter 23 Your Majesty, he comes from Longhu Mountain!
Zhu Yuanzhang turned page after page, the little secret that his mother had guarded to the death.

Watch, watch….
Emotion.

original,

From beginning to end, he never understood his mother very well.

And after reading these diaries, the image of a loving mother in my mind began to have other things.

The diary ends abruptly in 1344.

And this year was also the year when the two elders were hacked to death by Yuanting soldiers.

"mother…."

Zhu Yuanzhang stared blankly at the last page with complicated expressions.

It seemed like he had finished watching his mother's life.

If a mother's life is sweet at the beginning, then it is almost always bitter at the end.

He, his eldest brother and others left home one after another, which was the greatest pain to the two elders.

From the diary,

Zhu Yuanzhang saw how much his elders missed them after he left home.

I want them to go home and take a look.

Put aside what you are doing and take the time to visit the two elders even if it is just for one day.

I also think about this year’s New Year’s Eve dinner, even if one of the children comes back, they will be happy for a long time.

"Mom, dad, the child is unfilial, unfilial..."

"Mom, don't worry, you entrust your dream to your child. As long as dad is still alive, the child will dig three feet into the ground to find our dad!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were moist.

The Hongwu Emperor, who was regarded as cruel by the world, felt extremely melancholy and sentimental tonight.
.
….…….….….….
The next day.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were bloodshot and he stayed up almost all night.

Looking at my mother's diary, I spent the whole night reminiscing about the time in the small thatched house.

I feel extremely sad.

I think what my son did is very unqualified.

But it's early morning now.

He'll adjust quickly.

Because he is not only the child of those two people, but also the helmsman of the entire Ming Dynasty.

There are too many things waiting for him to deal with.

"Your Majesty, you are..."

In front of him, the two sturdy men were a little frightened.

Both of them are guards in the East Palace, one is Liao Yong and the other is Liao Yue.

The same square face, the same burly and powerful figure. At this time, they were all wearing the official robes of Ouchi guards.

They are all Zhu Xiongying's bodyguards. Zhu Yuanzhang had someone call them here just now.

The purpose is to find out the information about the immortal.

The two brothers followed Zhu Xiongying. Zhu Xiongying went to see his master yesterday, so the two brothers must know something.

Speaking of which, these two brothers also have quite a past.

Their grandfather was Liao Yongzhong, a general in the early Ming Dynasty. He was later sentenced to death by Zhu Yuanzhang for illegal use of dragons and phoenixes.

Zhu Xiongying was only five years old at the time. Seeing that the two brothers were not afraid of being implicated, he resolutely decided to die for his grandfather in an upright manner. Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious when he found out and wanted to kill this man who was loyal to his father and disloyal to his emperor.

But Zhu Xiongying confessed his love in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, saying that since they were filial, why not be loyal?
Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang let the two of them go.

Later, the prince Zhu Biao appointed the two as guards and asked him to teach Zhu Xiongying how to practice martial arts. From then on, the two people got a job and would not become common people.

"We're fine."

Zhu Yuanzhang symbolically pressed the dark circles under his eyes and continued: "I asked you to come here to ask about the immortal's situation and what he found out."

An immortal is in Yingtian Mansion. I don’t know what he is going to do, but I have to know something about his identity.

Otherwise no one will be able to sleep well. The two brothers had received instructions from Zhu Yuanzhang before they left yesterday. At this moment, Liao Yong stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the immortal is at Tianyun Temple in Yingtian Mansion."

"My subordinates checked yesterday and found that it is the Tianyun Temple in Longhu Mountain. The temple is filled with disciples of Longhu Mountain."

Longhu Mountain?
Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly: "So, that immortal is the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain?"

Liao Yong thought for a while and replied: "I'm not sure."

"Then continue to investigate, and remember to be careful not to offend the people of Longhu Mountain."

"understand!"
.
…….….….….….
Not long after the two brothers left, Qintian Supervisor Zheng Yang Ruchang walked into the hall.

This was what Zhu Yuanzhang sent someone to call.

He still remembered that yesterday, Master Xiongying not only wanted to know about the tomb of Queen Chun, but also had to do errands for the Qintian Supervisor.

"Your Majesty, are you looking for an old minister?"

Yang Ru often salutes.

He salutes a little slowly. After all, he is older and his movements are no better than those of young people. Moreover, he has been ill in recent years.

I heard from the imperial doctor that it was very difficult to get through it, but for some unknown reason I managed to survive until now.

"Yang Jianzheng, we asked you to come here because we want you to think about where Qintian Prison is still empty and someone is coming."

Zhu Yuanzhang spoke slowly.

When Yang Ruchang heard this, he was flattered and said: "Your Majesty, all you need to do to arrange the arrangements is to send someone to tell the old minister, or ask that person to take your oral instructions to the Qintian Prison, and the old minister will make arrangements."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "The people we want to arrange are different. Do you know the immortal we led people to discuss late at night a few days ago?"

Yang Ruchang saluted and said, "That was the first time that I participated in an important discussion. I dare not forget it."

The topic of discussion that day was about immortals, which had something to do with the duties of Qin Tianjian.

Otherwise, given the attributes of Qin Tianjian, it would be difficult for even the prisoner to see Zhu Yuanzhang.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang was pragmatic, Qin Tianjian faced gods and ghosts and was not favored by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "The person we asked you to arrange is the immortal."

"Arrange the Immortal?" Yang Ruchang's eyes widened: "What...what, Your Majesty, did I hear wrongly? Immortal, the Immortal is going to come to the Qintian Prison?"

Zhu Yuanzhang changed his position and replied: "You heard me right, how about it? Is there a suitable place?"

"Yes... yes!" Yang Ruchang replied hurriedly: "The old minister has a suitable position. This position is... the old minister's supervisory position!"

"I believe that immortals should command the entire Qintian Prison of the Ming Dynasty to benefit the common people!"

Yang Ruchang is an enthusiast who pursues the life of immortals.

Now a real immortal appears, and he only wants to give the best to the immortal.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

He comes from a peasant family and values ​​pragmatism.

But the position of emperor is different.

People pay attention to the true dragon emperor and care about the will of God.

So Qin Tian Jian was born.

Qin Tianjian also has the sole right to interpret "Heaven". For some major moves of the court, such as sending troops, the emperor's patrols, sacrifices, funerals, and marriages, etc., Qin Tianjian will be asked to observe the celestial phenomena to see if they are suitable for heaven.

The articles here are huge.

The emperor regarded himself as the True Dragon Emperor and believed very much in the 'unity of man and nature'. He hoped that the Qin Tian Jian could use the changes in the sun, moon, stars and other celestial bodies to divine good and bad luck.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't really believe in this thing, he calls himself the True Dragon Emperor. Sometimes you have to believe it even if you don't believe it, otherwise people will start to doubt him.

It can be said that Qin Tianjian can sometimes influence important affairs of the court.

Such an important position should be held by an immortal who has no idea of ​​its purpose?

Nothing is known about him, not even his identity.

Does it work?
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

The imperial court has never hired people based on your ability.

But the first thing is whether you are loyal or not, and the ability is secondary.
