From beggar to emperor: I am not Zhu Yuanzhang
Chapter 54 The Mysterious Old Taoist Priest
Ever since the last time Mrs. Zhu begged for an official position for her younger brother Zhu Yanshou, Yang Xingmi's attitude towards her had taken a turn for the worse. Although he didn't say it explicitly, he had actually been placed in another book.
In layman's terms, she - fell out of favor.
The reason why Yang Xingmi reacted so strongly was because Mrs. Zhu touched Yang Xingmi's sensitive nerve, which was "women interfering in politics."
Emperors of all dynasties were very afraid of the harem interfering in politics. Such behavior would often bring serious consequences such as the heroine bringing disaster to the country and the dictatorship of foreign relatives.
Not to mention the distance, the closest example to Yang Xingmi is that Wu Zetian in the early Tang Dynasty went from taking power to becoming emperor, which brought great disasters to the Tang Dynasty, which is obvious to all.
Therefore, Yang Xingmi is very wary of women interfering in politics. Even if it is his favorite woman, he will not allow her to interfere in politics. This is his red line.
And Mrs. Zhu just stepped on Yang Xingmi's red line, so it's no wonder that Yang Xingmi changed his color suddenly.
Another thing that made Yang Xingmi very afraid was that Mrs. Zhu accidentally let slip and revealed something that made Yang Xingmi very unhappy.
That is, the two siblings exchanged letters privately behind Yang Xingmi's back. One was a royal lady, and the other was a military general. They exchanged letters behind Yang Xingmi's back. What was their intention?
It's not impossible to write a letter, but the prerequisite is that it can't be concealed and Yang Xingmi must be aware of it. From this, we can see the negligence of Mrs. Zhu and her brother.
All these factors came together and finally caused Mrs. Zhu to fall out of favor overnight, and Yang Xingmi never visited her again.
From complaints to resentment, Mrs. Zhu's psychological changes were all written into the letter and sent to Zhu Yanshou.
Seeing his sister's situation, Zhu Yanshou was also indignant. The young man was still too young, had a bad temper, and his emotions and sorrows were all written on his face.
My sister just said a few words for herself, and yet she was treated like this. It was really deceiving!
Zhu Yanshou was very angry and held back a sense of resentment in his heart.
Zhu Yanshou, who was unhappy, became even more unrestrained and played around every day. He was too lazy to deal with Huangzhou's military and political affairs, so he used this kind of lying down to demonstrate to Yang Xingmi.
That evening, Zhu Yanshou returned from hunting in Dongshan. A group of people rode through the city gate and entered an alley that they must pass on their way back home.
At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark, lanterns were hung at the door of people's houses on both sides of the street, and Huangzhou entered the light mode of thousands of houses.
Zhu Yanshou patted his horse and moved forward slowly. When he came to the corner, he saw an old Taoist fortune teller sitting under a tree on the street. He was dressed in Taoist robes and his long beard seemed to be full of wisdom.
The flag beside the old Taoist priest has three characters written on it: Divine Fortune Teller
There is a Bagua picture on the ground like a street stall, as well as a bucket of Gua divination and a few books.
It looks like a mobile fortune teller on the street. This kind of fortune teller is very common in Huangzhou and basically goes unnoticed because the market is already saturated.
Zhu Yanshou always scorned this kind of trick of pretending to be a ghost. He didn't believe this nonsense at all.
When he walked past the old Taoist priest, he only heard the old Taoist priest murmuring: The noble man was in trouble, so he prayed to Buddha and asked for a clay Bodhisattva.
When Zhu Yanshou, who was riding on the horse, heard these inexplicable words, his heart skipped a beat, and he secretly thought, how come these words seemed to be addressed to me?
Maybe it was just his own wild thoughts, Zhu Yanshou comforted himself like this and continued to move forward.
Unexpectedly, the old Taoist priest suddenly said something meaningless:
"When a clay Bodhisattva crosses a river, he cannot save himself. A noble person crosses a river and turns danger into good fortune."
What does this mean? What does crossing the river mean? The more you listen to it, the more strange it becomes.
Zhu Yanshou ignored him and continued walking forward.
When the old Taoist priest saw Zhu Yanshou, he immediately turned across the street and shouted again:
General Zhu, if you don't leave, how long will it take?
It doesn't matter what the voice is, Zhu Yanshou's name almost came out. If you pretend not to hear, you are deceiving yourself.
Zhu Yanshou couldn't pretend to be calm anymore. He pulled the horse's head and dismounted. He returned to the old Taoist priest and observed carefully. He didn't see anything special about the old man.
"Who are you and how do you know me? Where do you want me to go?"
Zhu Yanshou launched a soul torture to the old man.
"Is there anyone in Huangzhou who doesn't know General Zhu? If you go to the road of life, there will be only death."
Every word of the old Taoist priest made Zhu Yanshou feel terrified.
Can we speak human language?
"What is the way to life and what is the way to death?" Zhu Yanshou was a little confused.
Seeing that Zhu Yanshou had taken the bait, the old Taoist priest revealed his trump card.
"General Zhu's sister is in a bad situation. The Clay Bodhisattva is crossing the river and cannot protect herself. Who else can the general rely on?"
"How did you know?"
The expression on Zhu Yanshou's face betrayed his inner thoughts.
The old Taoist priest looked around and lowered his voice: "This is not the place to talk. Can you take a step to talk?"
Zhu Yanshou knew in his heart that this old Taoist priest was definitely not an ordinary person. He must have a lot of things in his hands. Maybe he could really resolve his current predicament.
Thinking of this, he said to the old Taoist priest: "Then how about inviting the old gentleman to the house to talk about it?"
At Zhu Yanshou's house.
"Who are you, and why do you know so much about this general?"
Zhu Yanshou first had to find out the true identity of the old Taoist priest in front of him.
The old Taoist priest laughed loudly and said, "Why, we haven't seen each other for only a few months, so we don't know each other anymore?"
As he spoke, he tore off the fake beard on his mouth, took off his hat, and revealed his true face in Lushan.
Zhu Yanshou's eyes widened when he saw it: "It's you——"
"You are so brave. You are wanted everywhere now. You dare to come to me. You are throwing yourself into a trap. I just kidnapped you and asked my brother-in-law for credit."
The old Taoist priest sitting in front of Zhu Yanshou was Tian Kai.
Isn't Tian Kai in Jiangzhou? Why did he suddenly appear in Huangzhou?
It turned out that not long ago, Zhong Chuan's eldest son Zhong Kuangshi launched an attack and took advantage of Tian Kai's lax defense to seize Tian Kai's camp in Jiangzhou. Tian Kai suffered heavy losses, with more than 6000 casualties.
If you include those who fled, Tian Kai lost more than 1 people in just over a month. Currently, he only has Luo Zhixiang and his guards left, a total of more than 3000 people.
From the 3000 troops when Xuanzhou raised troops to rebel, it took half a year to reach [-] troops. In the past few months, Tian Kai once again set a new lower limit for destitution.
Desperate, Tian Kai had to accept Luo Zhixiang's suggestion, cross the Yangtze River under cover of night, and enter Huangzhou.
He finally thought of his old friend Zhu Yanshou and had no choice but to go see him.
But he did not dare to meet him openly, fearing that Zhu Yanshou would slap the table and tie him up and present him to Yang Xingmi. However, Luo Zhixiang analyzed that although Zhu Yanshou was Yang Xingmi's brother-in-law, his sister seemed to have fallen out of favor recently, and Yang Xingmi also quickly became indifferent to Zhu Yanshou.
This is obviously a good opportunity for Tian Kai.
Flies don't bite seamless eggs. Since Zhu Yanshou already has a gap, how can Tian Kai, a fly, miss it?
So for the sake of safety, Tian Wei disguised himself as an old Taoist priest and appeared on the streets of Huangzhou waiting for Zhu Yanshou.
The subsequent development is completely under Tian Kai's control.
In layman's terms, she - fell out of favor.
