"Old Taoist Zhang Yingjing wishes His Majesty peace!"
Zhang Yingjing saw that Zhu Yuanzhang had discovered him, and walked over slowly to greet him.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he remembered that a month ago and after Zhou saw that Chongzhen was restless, he specially invited Zhang Yingjing to the palace to perform rituals.
At that time, in order to show his sincerity, Chongzhen went out of the palace to greet Zhang Yingjing.
However, Zhang Yingjing's Zhaijiao did not help him turn the tide of the war. On the contrary, during the Zhaijiao period, the rebels successively captured various parts of Shanxi and threatened the capital.
Chongzhen was disappointed and ignored him.
On the contrary, Zhou Hou always treated Zhang Yingjing with great courtesy. He visited the Zhaitan altar several times and was very pious.
After Zhu Yuanzhang sorted out his memory, he realized that Zhang Yingjing was just an ordinary charlatan, not a magician like Zhou Dian, and he was already scornful.
And because he had just spied on her and behaved arrogantly, without taking the royal majesty into consideration, he shouted coldly with a straight face: "Taoist priest, why do you no longer hold rituals in the palace and pray for the country, why do you leave the palace privately? "
Zhang Yingjing didn't seem to notice Zhu Yuanzhang's dissatisfaction. He stroked the fly whisk and said with a smile: "The old Taoist was originally making a ritual ceremony in the palace, but because the dragon's power was so powerful in the palace at noon yesterday, the old Taoist was worried that the gods would frighten the dragon's power and affect me. National Destiny of the Ming Dynasty."
"Therefore, I reported this matter to the Empress, and with her approval, the old Taoist stopped the fasting ceremony and left the palace for a while."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a smile on his face, as if he was confirming something.
Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked when he heard this.
You must know that he woke up from Chongzhen's body at noon yesterday, and Zhang Yingjing also said that Long Wei appeared in the palace at noon. Is this a coincidence, or did Zhang Yingjing really notice it?
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang restrained his anger and said: "In the Taoist opinion, is the great power of the dragon in the palace a good thing or a bad thing?"
Zhang Yingjing pondered for a while, then looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "It is a good thing that the dragon's power is strong, but now that the capital is under siege, it is like a golden dragon being bound. It needs to warm up the dragon's nature. Only when the dragon's energy is stable and the shackles are removed can the dragon soar. The world is at peace all over the world."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. He couldn't help but took half a step forward and said, "Does Master Zhang have a way to untie and untie the shackles?"
Zhang Yingjing glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang again and said in a deep voice: "The old Taoist has a clever trick here that can make the rebels collapse without a fight, but I'm afraid your majesty won't dare to use it!"
Zhu Yuanzhang stared into Zhang Yingjing's eyes and said, "If Master Zhang has any wonderful tricks, you might as well tell them in detail."
Zhang Yingjing felt nervous when he saw that although Zhu Yuanzhang was asking for help, he looked calm, as if he had a plan in mind, and was not as helpless and helpless as before.
He calmed down and said: "I heard that there was a plague in the capital last year. Although it has been eliminated now, there are still some patients. If your Majesty takes these people out of the city and places them among the rebels, I believe there will be countless day, the rebels will collapse without a fight."
"Once the rebels are defeated, they will inevitably flee back to Shaanxi, and they will bring the plague with them. As a result, the rebels in Shaanxi will also be damaged, and they will definitely not be able to defend the city."
"Your Majesty will only need to send military doctors to treat the patients when the time comes. This will not only make it easy to recover the country, but also win the reputation of loving the people like a son. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but frowned after listening to Zhang Yingjing's words.
By the time Zhang Yingjing finished speaking, the middle of his brows had raised, like a small hill.
Zhang Yingjing had been observing secretly while speaking. Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's changes, he also adjusted his speaking speed and tone.
After he uttered the last word, he immediately closed his mouth and said no more.
For a moment, the two of them stood quietly like stone sculptures.
Only the way the two looked at each other made it known that they were alive.
"If Your Majesty is worried that the plague will be difficult to control, you might as well apply medicine in the cities around the rebels first, so that the plague can be controlled among the rebels."
The two looked at each other for a long time. Zhang Yingjing finally couldn't resist Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes and took the initiative to add.
"Well, Master Zhang's method does have merit, but we still need to think about this matter carefully. Please ask Master Zhang to come back to the palace with me so that we can ask at any time."
Zhu Yuanzhang withdrew his gaze and said calmly.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was calm, Zhang Yingjing still felt the killing intent, and it was a very strong killing intent.
He believed that if he hadn't been the leader of the Zhengyi Sect, if not for the real people of the Zhengyi Sect who were guests of wealthy nobles, and if he hadn't mentioned a plan to resolve the safety of the capital, he might have been a corpse at this moment.
However, although he was worried, his originally heavy heart felt much lighter.
He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who turned to leave, and then smiled and said: "Your Majesty, have you often felt heart palpitations and fatigue recently, and have you often felt frightened when things happened?"
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped when he heard his words.
Because Zhang Yingjing's words reminded him of the abnormal heart palpitations when he first woke up and the fatigue he felt in the past two days.
At first, he thought that Chongzhen was too weak, but after hearing Wang Chengen's words yesterday, he felt that something was unusual.
Later, he specifically checked the tea sent by Wang Chengen, but found nothing unusual.
Fortunately, this discomfort has gradually improved with his persistence. In addition, he has many things to do, so he has to put this matter aside for now.
When I heard Zhang Yingjing's words at this moment, although I was surprised, I didn't turn around. I turned my back to Zhang Yingjing and said, "Does Master Zhang have any good ideas?"
"If the old man is not mistaken, Your Majesty must have mistakenly drank tea that made people weak and frightened. There is no danger to his life. As long as he doesn't drink it again in the future, he should be fine!"
Zhang Yingjing looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's back and said calmly.
Zhu Yuanzhang still turned his back to him and said: "Zhenzhen Zhang has a heart, let's take note of it!"
Having said that, just as he was about to leave, he heard Zhang Yingjing's voice again: "If your Majesty wants to recover faster, there is a trick that can be effective at noon."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he slowly turned around, looked at Zhang Yingjing and said, "Does Master Zhang have any good prescriptions?"
When Zhang Yingjing saw Zhu Yuanzhang turn around, the burden in his heart was finally relieved.
It turned out that Zhang Yingjing had received the order to enter Beijing half a year ago, but he saw rebels rising everywhere, and it was only a matter of time before the dynasty changed.
He was worried that the Zhengyi Sect's help in helping the Ming Dynasty would be rejected by the new dynasty, so he kept delaying it.
However, after several invitations from Zhou Hou and his discovery in an accidental divination, there was a glimmer of vitality in the originally exhausted Ming Dynasty.
Especially since this ray of life was full of killing, he had to reconsider his previous decision.
At this time, there was great chaos in the north. Tianzhu, Wenxiang and other sects increased their efforts to spread the Dharma in the south. In order to maintain the status of the Zhengyi sect, Zhang Yingjing finally decided to go north after careful consideration.
