It is said that the Deaf and Mute Hall was first founded by Zhu Da, the ninth grandson of Zhu Quan, the king of Mingning Xian.
In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen's reign, the Ming Dynasty fell. Zhu Da was only nineteen years old at the time, and his father's death not long after he joined the family made him extremely depressed and angry. So he pretended to be deaf and mute, went into hiding in Buddhism, and lived in the mountains to preserve himself.
In the 13th year of Yongli in the Ming Dynasty (i.e. the 16th year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty), during Zheng Chenggong's Northern Expedition to Nanjing, the Deaf-mute Hall was once active for the Tiandihui. However, with the failure of Zheng Chenggong's Northern Expedition, the Deaf-mute Hall could only hide in the world in order to In the future, he will be able to make further contributions to the fight against the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty.
"Back to the hall master, we all have witnessed the military strength of the bandit suppression army. As for the King of Han himself, after my contact with him, I can completely feel that he is completely different from other anti-Qing martyrs." Zhai Dakun gestured while said.
Although Lu Zhonglin is the old hall master of the Old Deaf Hall, how can he really be a deaf-mute person as the hall master? What's more, he is also on a mission to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. He claims to be deaf and mute to the outside world just to protect himself.
"Different? How do you say it?" Lu Zhonglin asked curiously, gesturing. Lu Zhonglin's words obviously attracted the attention of the two deaf-mute hall elders sitting there, and they all looked at Zhai Dakun.
"Let's put it this way, I have never seen anyone in a position of authority willing to buy something to eat for a lost stranger child, or show mercy to a hungry beggar. Some anti-Qing righteous people in the past looked down on people as long as they had some power. It is simply incomparable to the current King of Han." Zhai Dakun sighed from the bottom of his heart.
"If the King of Han becomes the emperor, I dare not say anything else, but he will definitely treat the people very well. As the saying goes, what follows is what follows. Just look at the military discipline of the bandit suppressing army and you will know what kind of person he is. It is said that he has the 'Three Major Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention'." It was already stipulated before the army was launched. We have been chanting never to take advantage of the people."
"Indeed, if the King of Han can really keep his word, it will be good for the people." Elder Li Shimin sitting on the right took over and said.
"Divide the land without corvee, without collecting taxes, and you will fight for every acre of land..." Wang Jia'an, another deaf-mute elder sitting on the left, couldn't help but read.
"Elder Wang, it is said that the King of Han changed the two buckets to thirty-five kilograms② in order to prevent the petty officials from exploiting the public's reputation." Zhai Dakun corrected him.
"Oh, that seems to be the case." Wang Jia'an nodded.
"Da Kun, in your opinion, this Han King Zhang Rui is the person we are looking for?" Lu Zhonglin asked in disbelief, as if he was about to touch the target but did not dare to touch it.
"Yes." Zhai Dakun nodded and replied.
The long light flickered, and there was silence in the room for a while.
Suddenly, Wang Jiaan seemed to notice something. He looked at Zhai Dakun and asked, "Dakun, can you hear me?" "
"I can do it now and then." Zhai Dakun looked at Wang Jia'an and nodded again and said: "The foreigners around the King of Han have very good medical skills. After some acupuncture from him, I drank another pair of medicines prescribed by him, and then I After some sweating, I found that I could hear things now and then.”
"This is really a great thing." Wang Jia'an said happily.
After all, Zhai Dakun has been selected as the next head of the Deaf-mute Hall. If the deafness remains deaf, it will undoubtedly be detrimental to the development of the Deaf-mute Hall. Although they have been looking for a way to cure Zhai Dakun, they have not seen any results over the years. Now Zhai Dakun not only has the possibility of being cured, but also has a line with the King of Han. This is undoubtedly a great thing.
"Thank you, Great Elder." Zhai Dakun cupped his hands and thanked him.
"It's really a great thing that Da Kun can hear me." Lu Zhonglin also nodded happily and said.
"Thank you, Master."
"Da Kun, my master is old. I don't know how long he can live. He has no ability to protect the Deaf-mute Hall. Sooner or later, the future of the Deaf-mute Hall will be in your hands. Since you are so optimistic about this Han King , I have no doubts." Lu Zhonglin said with sudden inspiration.
Zhai Dakun felt sentimental for a while, and when he was about to say something to comfort him, Lu Zhonglin reached out to stop him. I saw Lu Zhonglin continue to say: "I think about how many ups and downs, hardships and obstacles my Deaf and Mute Hall has experienced since its establishment in order to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. But these are not terrible. What is terrible is that there is no opportunity to show off."
"After Guo Xingye was defeated in Nanjing, we once thought that Guo Xingye would definitely make a comeback, but it turned out that Guo Xingye could not come to Nanjing again until his death."
"We have been running around and working hard for the great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty. Wu Sangui finally rebelled, but the result? We were disappointed again. Since then, it has become more and more difficult to resist the Qing Dynasty, and most of them have failed."
"Since I took over the Deaf and Mute Hall from the previous old hall leader Li Biheng, I thought there would never be a chance to see someone overthrow the Manchu Tatars. Now this King of Han may be our hope."
"Yes, Master. Now the King of Han's territory is no worse than that of Wu Sangui back then, and he conquered these territories by himself. More importantly, the King of Han is young, much younger than Wu Sangui. What's even more rare is that the King of Han is a man. You are much better than Wu Sangui. As long as everyone helps, the King of Han will be able to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and restore the Han people." Zhai Dakun said firmly, as if he was comforting the old man in front of him who was about to die but still insisted on his ideals.
"Yes, help him. Maybe my mission is to wait for him! Hu's luck will last for a hundred years, and there will be six years after the Double Eight. The clear water will extinguish the fire and it will rise again, and the sun and the moon will always shine on the land of China." Lu Zhonglin seemed to be talking to himself naturally. thought.
"What a poem, even so simple."
"Elder Wang, Elder Li, do you think Han King Zhang Rui is worthy of our help from the Deaf and Mute Hall?" Lu Zhonglin asked the two elders sitting here.
"We are all old, and the Deaf-mute Hall is also losing its talents. Since Da Kun is optimistic about the King of Han, isn't this an opportunity for my Deaf-mute Hall? We are all dying, why should we continue to guard it? "Wang Jia'an said.
"I agree with Elder Wang. Maybe it's time for us to let go and leave the rest to the young people!" Li Shimin echoed.
"Since the two elders said so, what else can't I let go of?" Lu Zhonglin said with a slight smile.
"Da Kun!"
"Yes, Master."
"You will tell the King of Han about the treasure of our Deaf and Mute Hall in two days. It can be regarded as our Deaf and Mute Hall's contribution to the cause of anti-Qing Dynasty. We will hand over the map to you later." Lu Zhonglin ordered.
"As you command, Master."
