Zhang Yingchen became more and more cautious in front of the banker's bosses, never mentioning his "mana", let alone doctrinal issues. [No pop-up novel website] Unless the other party asked, he would talk a little bit about his "new Taoism" of doctrine.
Zhang Yingchen knew that he should not treat such Jin Gentlemen like ordinary people and persuade them to change their faith with a little show of "magic power". China's traditional intellectuals are all eccentric and can be regarded as a group of atheists.
Therefore, when he preached to Zhuang Qian and others, he never did it deliberately, but discussed it as if it were academic. Have an exploratory attitude towards the questions raised by the other party.
His attitude really attracted the respect of several masters of the banker. Moreover, the new Taoist system he created is indeed somewhat outstanding.
When Zhang Yingchen was working on this system in Lingao, he knew very well that he wanted his new Taoism to break through among the popular folk religions in the late Ming Dynasty, and also to further integrate and digest the northern and southern sects of the orthodox Taoist system. It is not enough to have mature religious thoughts and classics. Even the Nanwuliang Sect, which he had just dealt with, still had two scriptures.
As for the folk sects that are a mixture of monks, Taoists, and Confucianism, although they have the advantage of being easy to understand for the lower classes, they appear vulgar and shallow to the elites of the middle and upper classes of society, and they despise them. Although they are afraid of folk sects, they Strength and "magic". Therefore, when he was developing his own new Taoist system, he tried his best to adopt the concepts of the original Taoist system and made extensive use of the classics in the "Tao Zang". Although some of them had been tampered with by him, they were mainly based on Tianshi Taoism and mixed it. The teachings of Quanzhen Taoism and some other sects try their best to introduce some concepts of modern scientific theories.
Of course, for the time being, he can't peel off his mysticism veil and has to rely on this to protect himself throughout Yizhou. His reputation has suddenly grown. Or rather, in the past, he was just a "good guy", but now he has suddenly become a "good guy". Real person", all kinds of gossip about Zhang Yingchen's "boundless magic power" suddenly spread like crazy. In addition to the victims...everyone with a patient at home from all over the country came to Dadianzhuang with their patients. The great situation caught him off guard.
However, the good situation made Zhang Yingchen unable to bear to give up. This would be a good opportunity to win people's hearts... and build faith! He immediately cheered up and continued to see patients for half a day every day.
The original medicines in hand have basically been used up. In addition to sending a message to Linqing requesting the "center" to dispatch medicines from Guangdong as soon as possible, they mainly use medicinal materials that can be purchased locally. Not only did the three apprentices work together to concoct the medicine, but many of the banker's servants also helped. As for the cost of the medicinal materials, all the money was paid by the banker. He now feels more and more that the dealer's attitude towards him has become different.
From Linqing came the banker's personal information that he requested from the big library. It turns out that these young and old masters of the banker are quite extraordinary.
He discovered that the reason why Zhuang Qian took the initiative to retire soon after he led the army to serve the king in the second year of Chongzhen... turned out to be related to the political trend of the court at that time... In the early years of Chongzhen's accession to the throne, he made great efforts to investigate and purge the "remnants of the eunuch party". This person once made sacrifices for Wei Zhongxian when he was an official. Even if he is not a member of the Eunuch Party, he should have some relationship with the Eunuch Party.
Obviously, although his reputation as an official during his tenure was not bad and he could lead troops to serve the king in critical moments, this historical stain forced him to actively retire from the court.
"No wonder he doesn't talk about court affairs or his experiences as an official. So there is such a thing!" Zhang Yingchen understood: he had "historical issues", so naturally he had to be very cautious about his words after retirement. . What's more, I heard that Dongchang and Jinyiwei's activities have become more frequent recently.
The other person who interested him was Zhuang Zheng, whose nickname... was Zhuang Qian's cousin. After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, this person once gathered tens of thousands of people and occupied the Jiuxian Mountain in Zhucheng to rebel against the Qing Dynasty. After the failure, he sneaked into Beijing alone... A high-ranking official who was preparing to assassinate the Tatars once assassinated Dorgon, but unfortunately failed, but he still managed to escape, which shows his skill and adaptability are very impressive.
"This man is so legendary, I have to get to know him no matter what." Zhang Yingchen was very interested in him. Unfortunately, this Wu Xiucai served as a guard at Luokou during the Tianqi period due to his military exploits. Now he is not at home. Zhang Yingchen felt that this Wu Xiucai was very There may have been collusion with the local forces in Jiuxian Mountain in Zhucheng in the past, otherwise it would be difficult to imagine that a foreigner who was unfamiliar with the place could easily gather tens of thousands of people to occupy Shantou to rebel. It is necessary to know the specific situation clearly.
He burned the secret letter... and watched the gray-black paper ashes completely turn into pieces in the brazier before he stood up and patted the dust on his robe.
The sun is blazing outside, and there are large pieces of ice in the house, which are steaming white. This enjoyment is not bad in Yizhou. Of course, compared with the Jin gentry who helped people "combine the big medicine" in Jiangnan. It's quite different. Zhang Yingchen strolled to the eaves of the corridor... He was about to see how the three apprentices were preparing the medicinal materials when a servant asked him to go to the room. Qian Zhang Yingchen often came and went to the upper room. Unexpectedly, when he arrived outside the courtyard, the servants did not lead him inside. He was startled and secretly held the pistol at his waist.
"Real person! Forgive me for being bold," the servant said with a smile, "It's not that Mr. Zhuang is in love, but the young master of the second master's family wants to see you. And I'm afraid you don't want to see him..."
"All living beings are equal, why don't I want to see him?" Zhang Yingchen said with a smile, feeling relieved.
"Master, you are so magnanimous!" the servant said with a flattering smile, "That's right, our young master Yongling is only eleven years old..."
Ying Chen nodded, "It doesn't matter. The ambition does not depend on the age. Gan Luo is the prime minister. This young master of yours must be a great talent."
"Some people have said so." Seeing that Zhang Yingchen did not object, the servant was very happy that he had received the reward of two hundred copper coins. They immediately led him all the way to a small courtyard.
Zhang Yingchen saw the lush flowers and trees here, the elegant environment, and the desks and Confucius tablets arranged in the main hall. He knew that this was probably the study room where the Zhuang family's children studied.
He remembered that the banker's nephews were also outstanding. Not only were several of them scholars and tributes, but they also later participated in the anti-Qing movement. They were all capable of both literary and military skills. This so-called Young Master Yongling is probably. It was Zhuang Yongling, Zhuang Qian's nephew. According to the data, he was born in 1620, and he is now one thousand and one years old.
This Zhuang Yongling had the nickname Danian and a floating nickname. He later won the Jinshi in the 18th year of Shunzhi. He was the second Jinshi of the Zhuang family.
Xiankun was also a good reader. Why did he suddenly want to see him?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw three teenagers coming out to greet him. They are all in their early teens, handsome and handsome, and their clothes are only slightly finer cotton. They are very typical of the so-called gentry's children who "farm and study".
The Taoist priest couldn't help but feel moved. Now raise your hands as a gift.
"Real person!" The young man looked very happy, "I didn't expect you to come. Please forgive me for inviting you under my name."
"Why don't you come here?" Zhang Yingchen put on a gentle and loving smile.
"Please come inside and take a seat!"
At that moment, Zhang Yingchen was invited to the Dongnuan Pavilion in the study. Because it was summer, the window panels were removed, and the windows were covered with green screens, reflecting the shade of the trees in the yard, making it feel very cool.
After entering the room, they met each other again. Zhang Yingchen knew that scholars in Shandong were influenced by the Confucian family, and most of the Jin gentry with a little wealth were keen on formal etiquette. It was not surprising that many people were polite, so he followed suit and bowed to each other.
After finally sitting comfortably with each other, Zhang Yingchen breathed a sigh of relief when the book boy brought tea: this etiquette is really complicated.
The three teenagers looked at each other, but they didn't say anything. Zhang Yingchen was very surprised. After a long while, Zhuang Yongling said calmly: "Master, some of us heard people say that you were bathed in thunder and fire in the yard, but you didn't suffer any damage..."
Zhang Yingchen twirled his beard and smiled while listening, thinking that's why. Young people are indeed curious and bold.
Seeing that there was no displeasure in his expression, several people suddenly became bold and asked, "Master, did you overcome the tribulation that night?"
"After overcoming the tribulation, shouldn't you be able to ascend in the daytime? Master, can you soar into the clouds and ride in the mist?"
"Real person, how can you stay safe when thunder and fire strike you? Every summer, there are always people and cattle killed by thunder and fire..."
Zhang Yingchen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he was still a scholar.
But he also liked it very much: after all, young people are still innate and full of curiosity about all kinds of things, which is much cuter than adults who pretend to understand but still act reserved.
He pondered for a moment and did not answer their questions. He only said: "Do you know how the thunder and fire in the sky come from?"
This question stumped them at once. They were all scholars and did not believe in such things as the Thunder God and the Lightning Mother. However, no one, whether it was Confucius, Mencius, or any of the sages, had ever said anything about it. The three people couldn't help but look at each other.
Zhuang Yongling's eyes lit up and he asked, "Does the real person know?"
Zhang Yingchen nodded: "If I don't know this, how can I survive the thunder?"
Zhuang Yongling stood up and bowed: "Please teach me."
Zhang Yingchen smiled but didn't answer.
Zhuang Yongling was a little disappointed. He suddenly thought that this matter must be the great secret of this "real person". If he wanted to know it, it would not be easy.
The children of officials are either unsophisticated or sophisticated. Zhuang Yongling is the latter. He thought: If it is an ordinary Taoist priest, he just wants to take advantage of the opportunity to extort a few dollars. If so, it would be easy. But after Zhang Zhenren arrived at the mansion, he never took a penny from the mansion. He did not charge for medical treatment, and even gave up medicine. Obviously not for the money.
He made a sincere expression: "This junior is stupid, please let me know clearly."! .
