Chapter 486 The Moment of Witnessing the Miracle
It turns out that this loyal wanderer was a gangster before he became a monk and became a Taoist priest!
He has never killed anyone, but he is very good at stealing. However, he was wanted by the court for stealing the Linglong Golden Pagoda, a family heirloom of a master surnamed Li in Nanjing City.
Because the top of the Linglong Golden Pagoda is inlaid with a night pearl. When he was stealing, he was too excited. He pulled off the black scarf covering his face and admired the treasure. After waking up, he took the baby and ran away.
But the butler remembered his appearance under the light of the night pearl.
Because the Li family is a scholarly family, the butler can also read and write, and the butler is a book boy who grew up with Master Li. Master Li is good at painting, and he has also studied it for several years. Look, hand it over to the government!
Therefore, the thief Zhong Youzi had nowhere to hide, so he ran away in embarrassment. Later, he met an old Taoist priest who picked flowers. He accidentally saved the life of the old Taoist priest. The Taoist priest imitated the Duan again, and then escaped from the border of Nanjing.
Not daring to go to the south to continue wandering, so he went north. After passing through the pass, the old Taoist priest and him were unlucky to meet a horse thief. Although they escaped unscathed, the old Taoist priest was seriously injured, and finally died of his injuries. .
Although the old Taoist priest slept with many women in his life, he didn't keep any of them. All his things were inherited by his apprentice Zhong Youzi who picked them up halfway.
Zhong Youzi has been hiding around for more than ten years, and when he reappears in front of people, he is already a different person, and he is not idle. When he was wandering around, he took in two apprentices.
Later, he spent a lot of money to buy elixir formulas, and took in two more apprentices. On the Jiangnan side, he made alchemy for some wealthy businessmen, and each elixir was worth a hundred taels of silver.
But the materials used in this recipe are also very rare and expensive!
In addition, they don't have a fixed Taoist temple, they are just wandering Taoist priests, so they can't sell them at a high price.
I made a lot of small money, but none of the big money.
And there are many alchemists over there, and they all have Taoist temples, and the rich and wealthy all buy the elixir refined by that Taoist temple.
In the eyes of a real rich man, his wild way is not acceptable.
However, at this moment, the people sent by Wan'an found him.
At the same time, several colleagues were called together, some of them were noble and naturally unwilling to refine any red lead pills;
Some people wanted to go, but their image was not good enough. After picking and choosing, he was selected.
Knowing how to make alchemy, good looks, and cloudy speech, this kind of "outsider expert" is very qualified.
After entering Beijing, they were not allowed to go out, but sent someone to teach them some etiquette knowledge, as well as a subset of Taoist classics. After studying for a year, they had to take an exam.
It took another year to cultivate their temperament, tailor-made clothes, and some means.
means of juggling.
Because he has been a robber, the technique of opening and sliding locks depends on the dexterity of the fingers, which is similar to the dexterity of the fingers required by juggling. Zhong Youzi learns very quickly, and he is even better than blue.
After learning these things, he learned alchemy and improved the alchemy formula. The red alchemy he finally refined was red with gold, which satisfied the adults who came to them, and then he met Wan An.
In order to verify whether this thing is effective, Wan An first met the Taoist priest who made alchemy, and then asked the Taoist priest to eat one in front of him.
Finding that the Taoist was in good spirits after eating, he ate one himself, and had a good time with his two concubines in his arms that night.
Then he started planning.
First of all, I would enclose a small note in the memorial with the emperor, and then talk about some of these things. Slowly, I hooked up the interest of the emperor, and then dedicated the person to the emperor.
There are not only Taoist priests who practice alchemy, but also lamas from Uzbek who believe in Huanxi Buddha.
The lama and the pope practice joyful meditation; Taoist priests make alchemy for the emperor.
Emperor Xianzong was happy for a long time, and Wan An was promoted and made a fortune because of this.
Even at the beginning, Xiao wanted the eldest princess, and wanted his cousin to marry the eldest princess, so that he could build a good relationship with the future new king in the future.
As a result... this is broken!
He was also arrested, Wan An's grievances were not heard, and he was going crazy in the prison!
"Wan'an is so courageous!" Wu Youwei was almost dizzy when he heard it. This plot is enough for a criminal investigation novel.
"He doesn't know Zhong Youzi's previous identity. It was more than ten years ago. If I didn't take Zhong Youzi's portrait and go to the six gates to check the information and make people recognize him, I wouldn't be able to know Zhong Youzi's identity." True identity." Wan Tongdao: "The person who recognized him was the son of the housekeeper back then. Because of his good painting skills, he was chosen by the six doors and accepted as a painter by exception. He recognized Zhong Youzi immediately. Because his father painted portraits of Zhongyouzi, although Zhongyouzi is much older, he learned painting from his father."
Wu Youwei felt that Zhongyouzi was really unlucky. Not only was he charged with "murdering the emperor's life", but he was also stripped of his vest, revealing his old background.
Even Wan'an couldn't have imagined this....
"That's why the emperor is very angry." Wan Tao said, "I couldn't help but get mad at the court meeting this early in the morning."
Not counting the consecutive imperial decrees, many people followed in the footsteps of the emperor, such as the cabinet, and everyone paid attention to Buddhism and Taoism.
There is fire in July, and people's hearts are boiling!
Even when Wu Youwei went to teach His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness questioned him a lot.
Wu Youwei said it tirelessly, and in the second class, he saw the most respected father and son in the world.
Hurry up to see the ceremony, wondering in my heart, why are the parents here to listen?Or prison?
"Last time, Aiqing said, did you teach me some Taoism?" After Emperor Xianzong called out, he couldn't help but said, "I want to learn with the prince."
Wu Youwei: "...???"
Wu Youwei was completely confused!
So, this reason is the reason why their father and son appeared in the classroom together?
Wu Youwei was helpless: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, if you want to learn, please Rong Chen prepare?"
"Yes, yes!" Emperor Xianzong said enthusiastically, "You have nothing to do today, so we are waiting for you here!"
His Royal Highness was also elated: "Yes, yes, yes!"
Still right?
Wu Youwei put down his textbooks. Anyway, his courses are very casual and his time is very flexible. If you want to learn, then go for it.
As long as their fingers are nimble enough, they can definitely learn some tricks.
Fortunately, the magic craze was popular for a while in his previous life, and he also learned something to amuse the students, so he can still remember a lot now.
He just needs to have the props ready.
So this afternoon, he only taught the father and son the simplest magic tricks, such as fairy deduction, double count coincidence, and banknotes turning white.
So much so that the Tian family father and son yelled, and after deciphering it, they were very disappointed.
"Your Majesty, are you not satisfied?" Wu Youwei asked the two of them.
"Aiqing, I have read the records about this mysterious art in the book. Hanshu "Xijing Miscellaneous Notes" (Fan six volumes) contains the story of "Donghai Huanggong" at the end of Qin Dynasty: "There is Huanggong from Donghai, who was a Art, can make snakes and drive tigers, wear red gold swords, tie hair with crimson paint, set up clouds and mists, and sit like mountains and rivers.And aging, weak strength, excessive drinking, unable to perform the same skills.At the end of the Qin Dynasty, a white tiger was seen in the East China Sea, and Huang Gong hated it with a red sword.The technique didn't work, so he was killed by a tiger.It seems... not the same as this one? "Emperor Xianzong hesitated for a moment, then asked Wu Youwei: "Can you let me take a look at such profound arts?" "
Wu Youwei has also seen this story. It is a program in the Western Han Dynasty. And subdue snakes and tigers.He often wears a red gold knife and binds his hair with red silk. When he does it, he can stir up clouds and mists and is very capable.In old age, the strength is exhausted, coupled with excessive drinking, the spells fail.
"Your Majesty, that's just a legendary record. Besides, "The Yellow Duke of the East China Sea" shows a fight between a man and a tiger, but it is not like a general role play, where two actors compete on the stage, and the winner is determined by the strength of the actor. A plot of character story performance. In the play, the shape of the characters, the conflict situation, and the outcome of the victory and defeat are all pre-determined, and there are also dancing movements such as raising a knife to pray, and fighting with a tiger. It is the first breakthrough The ancient times advocated impromptu and random amusement and satire, and initially integrated several elements of opera performance, laying a preliminary foundation for the formation of opera. Therefore, it has certain dramatic elements..." Wu Youwei gave He explained, and by the way, began to educate the father and son: "And this opera is after all a pastime, not a business. In history, the Han Dynasty learned from the experience and lessons of the failure of the Qin Dynasty and adopted a certain compromise policy towards the people. Consolidated the dominant position. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was talented and general, and made great efforts in water conservancy, which made agriculture develop, and industry and commerce also developed. Agriculture also supported the war. Emperor Wu sent Zhang Qian to the Western Regions twice, and the exchanges between Chinese culture and foreign countries created a new era. The new era. The illusion of the Western Regions was also officially introduced to the East. The Han Dynasty not only sent troops to fight back against the Huns in the South and North, but also strengthened the connection with the ethnic minorities in the Southwest, which made the feudal society at that time extremely prosperous. In return, the emperors and generals were extremely extravagant. After enjoying the prosperity at that time, they intensified their efforts. It is said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was especially fond of believing in the words of the alchemists for the "Jiaodizhi Opera" and "The Fish and Dragon Manyan Opera". Hope to have fun forever and live forever. All these played an important role in promoting the prosperity of acrobatics and illusions in the Western Han Dynasty. Many artists began to develop in this area. The fairy ropes and fairy buckles are trivial, such as climbing ladders, and statues grow taller, etc. There are countless others, but they are all tricks to deceive people..."
Emperor Xianzong was embarrassed, he also trusted the alchemist, and the result?
If it weren't for Wu Youwei, he might have "broken intestines" at some point!
Because he wanted to know how the big rooster died afterwards, he asked someone to have it dissected, and he replied that the intestines of the big cock were all black!
But it made Emperor Xianzong like the East Palace even more.
Because of this incident, he also knew afterwards that it was Wantong who was in the lead. He was afraid that his brother-in-law, the emperor, would do something good by taking drugs and catch up with Li Dongyang. Get up "Qingjun side".
But it also confirmed one thing from the side, the Wan family didn't want to support the prince to ascend the throne immediately, you must know that if the emperor is not dead, the prince will always be a "prince".
If the Wan family does not say anything, or even does nothing, as long as he just sits on the sidelines, he will surely die. Then, as the crown prince, he will surely ascend the throne, and he will be proclaimed emperor immediately. Family is different, especially when Zhen'er is still an imperial concubine, not a queen.
Only by becoming the empress dowager can the Wan family become the emperor's natal family just like the Zhou family, and with Zhen'er's emphasis on the Wan family, the Wan family is bound to flourish!
As long as his emperor becomes the first emperor, it will be fine.
But Wan Jia didn't do that, instead he stopped him from committing suicide.
Later, the prince was even more frightened, staring at him for eating and drinking, and forbidding him, the father, to take any messy pills.
The worry of his wife, the filial piety of his children, and the loyalty of his subjects satisfied the always suspicious Emperor Xianzong very much.
On the contrary, I have a grudge against Wan An, a "sexual friend". Although I know that Wan An is actually a victim, but when it is not confirmed, it is not prudent enough to dedicate people and pills to him.
Compared with Wantong, Wanan is too unpopular.
