"My son's consideration is to let my father live a good life so that he can be filial to his father wholeheartedly." Wang Jin said without changing his expression.
"No need, we don't know for sure which one of us will survive." Wang Xian scolded with a smile.
"Then I will fulfill my filial piety to my grandfather on behalf of my father." Wang Jin smiled and said, "In two days, my son will go to Hangzhou to study."
Wang Xianxin said that he couldn't get rid of this brown candy. He rubbed his temples and said: "There is no chance of being a vice president. Giving your father and your sixth uncle a director is already the limit."
"Hey, listen to father," Wang Jinpei said with a smile: "By the way, there is also the matter of Wang Tong..."
"It's done." Wang Xian sighed, thinking that it was neither good nor bad to work as an official in the local area. The advantage was that the people were familiar with the place, but the disadvantage was that the people were very troublesome. In order to relax his mood, he put on a straight face and took the As if he were a father, he taught Wang Jinlai a lesson and ordered him to study hard and be a sincere person. He must know that "the work is better than hard work, but the waste is play". He must first cultivate himself and his family before he can govern the country and bring peace to the world...
With Wang Xian's bullshit skills, only one-third of his skills are enough to make Wang Jin confused, but he dare not not listen, because the father is the guide for the son...
After teaching him a lesson for half an hour, he let go of his cheap son who was about to faint.
For the entire night, Wang Jin's mind was filled with Wang Xian's chatter. The next day, he fled back to the countryside, fearing that the cheap daddy's magic voice would penetrate his brain again...
.
After a small episode, Wang Xian continued his busy work. While touring the city and countryside, he also found time to prepare for five institutions. Everything was going on in an orderly manner until one afternoon in May...
In May in Jiangnan, it was already sultry and hot. After returning from a tour outside, Wang Xian was soaked with sweat from inside to outside.
As soon as he returned to the duty room, Zaoli quickly turned on the ceiling fan for him. Of course, it was not electric or metal, but made of bamboo. There were four fans in total, and each fan was suspended from the beam with two copper rings. The bottom ends are strung together by a silk rope. Zao Li holds the string and pulls it, and the fans on all four sides swing back and forth. Suddenly, the breeze blows, making people feel cool.
Wang Xian sat under the ceiling fan, unbuttoned his front shirt, let the cool breeze blow into his chest, and ate two bowls of ice-cold Guiling paste to relieve the depression in his chest. Just when he was about to handle the official duties at hand, the county magistrate's servant came over and said , the second master invites you.
Wang Xian couldn't help but groan secretly, but he didn't show any delay. He put on his official turban and went to the county magistrate's office with the officer.
The hall of the county government office is very high and very large. Sitting inside, you can't feel the scorching sun or the scorching hot wind outside. Naturally, it is not comparable to the clerks who are like steamers in summer and ice caves in winter.
Seeing him coming in covered with sweat, Jiang Xiancheng, who was wearing a cool body, smiled and said: "If I had known it was so hot outside, I would have called you later."
"It's okay, it's only May and it's still hot." Wang Xian smiled and said, "What's the matter, Mr. Second Master?"
"I have something to do. Sit down." Jiang Xian Cheng motioned for Wang Xian to sit down on a row of chairs against the wall. He also got up from behind the big case with a copy of the official document, sat next to Wang Xian and said, "Look at this. An adult is coming to our Fuyang for official business and requires the government not to make any noise, but to obey his request unconditionally. After much thought, I think it would be most appropriate for you to come forward to receive him."
When Wang Xian took the official document and took a look, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. It turned out to be a cabinet document! Although the cabinet is not high-ranking, it is the emperor's private secretarial agency. Therefore, the cabinet documents have always been regarded as the highest priority in addition to imperial edicts. Official documents with specific specifications are usually sent to provinces and ministries. This kind of official document is sent directly to the county. It is really rare to see it in a hundred years.
After opening it, I saw it read: "I have ordered Hu Tong, the head of the Ministry of Rites, to act as an angel, issue imperial letters, confer imperial seals on temples and palaces all over the world, and visit Wudang Taoist Zhang Sulu. I will go to Fuyang today and order the magistrate and county magistrate and below to obey the command unconditionally."
Silence, hereby...'
"Finally came to our county." After reading it, Wang Xian was not surprised. It turned out that since the fifth year of Yongle, this man named Hu Wei had begun to go to various provinces and counties, conferring palaces and temples on behalf of the emperor, and looking for legends everywhere.
Zhang Sloppy in.
Zhang Sloppy is Zhang Sanfeng, who is very famous in the country and is like a land god. At that time, Taizu wanted to find this living god and ask him for advice on the art of immortality, because Zhang Sanfeng was said to be from the Southern Song Dynasty and was worth more than a hundred people.
He is ten years old, but he still has a childish face, eclipses the sun eight times, flies over eaves and walls, and ascends to the heavens and the earth! Such an expert will naturally disappear, so Emperor Taizu looked for him but couldn't find him, so he just forgot about it.
Zhu Di's pursuit of immortality was much stronger than that of his father. Since the fifth year of Yongle, he has been searching for Zhang Zhenren. Whenever Hu Wei went to a place, he would gather all the monks and Taoists to check the ultimatums one by one and communicate with them in person.
, he looks like he’s trying to find a needle in a haystack but also wants to find Mr. Zhang!
So Jiang County Cheng also nodded and said: "Yes, the monks and Taoists in Hexian County are having a lot of troubles again." He couldn't help but smile and said: "I just don't know, since we are looking for Taoist priests, why do we have to go back and forth every time?
Bring the monk along too?"
"I'm afraid that Master Zhang will be ordained as a monk." Wang Xian said with a smile, and Jiang Xiancheng also laughed.
They laughed, but they did not dare to neglect at all. If Hu Xun, an imperial envoy who was deeply trusted by the emperor, said a few bad words about them, their lives would be completely ruined...
Jiang Xian Cheng immediately decided that Wang Xian would put down all the work at hand and go all out to receive the Hu Qin Envoy without making any mistakes.
Wang Xian worked nervously for two days, first arranging all the reception matters, and then summoned Zhang Maoxuan, Taoist priest of the county Taoist Association, Qing Tengzi, and Zen Master Xianxi of Senghui to come to the Yamen.
Qingtengzi Zhang Maoxuan is in his forties, with a thin build, a ginger face, thin and long eyes, and three strands of beard hanging down to his chest. He wears a large white silk Taoist robe with black edges, a Zhuangzi scarf on his head, and holds a silver handle
Fu Chen, sitting on the official hat chair, looks very celestial.
Zen Master Xianxi is also a handsome middle-aged monk. If he were not wearing a green cloth monk's robe, a ring scar on his head, and a string of rosary beads in his hand, people would mistake him for a Confucian scholar rather than a novice monk.
"You two, please take a look at this." Wang Xian handed the copy of the imperial mail to Taoist Qingteng and said, "Is it a good thing or a bad thing?"
After Qing Tengzi read it, he handed it to Monk Xianxi calmly. The monk took a look at it and pronounced the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, your Majesty's sincerity to Buddha is really a blessing to the people, and of course it is a good thing."
"Haha..." Qing Tengzi said lightly: "The emperor is a Taoist."
"To the Buddha." Monk Xianxi shook his head and said slowly.
"The emperor is looking for Mr. Zhang, a Taoist." Qing Tengzi said with a smile.
"That's because our Buddhist family has real Buddhas and doesn't need real people." Monk Xianxi said.
"Okay, okay, stop arguing," Wang Xian quickly stopped the two of them and said, "This means it's at least a good thing, right?"
The monks looked at each other and nodded slowly.
"Since it is a good thing, please cooperate actively." Wang Xiandao: "We must do three things. First, clean up all Taoist temples in the county. Second, give me a list of monks and Taoists in the county, except
The registered monks and Taoists in the temple's crown, those Yunshui monks, and the single Taoist priests must not be left behind, and they are the top priority!" After a pause, he said: "Third, inform the monks and Taoists in this county that before the imperial envoy leaves Fuyang, all
Monks and Taoists are not allowed to leave the temple. These are the requirements from above. I hope everyone will cooperate and prevent unpleasant things from happening."
"..." The expressions of the monks and Taoists changed. As the chief monks and Taoists in the county, they knew how much complaints the announcement of Article 3 would cause. But they were not allowed to refuse at all. The two had no choice but to nod: "Understood.
.”
Wang Xian's feeling was very keen and he suddenly asked: "You two seem to have something on your mind."
"That's what my lord said..." Qingtengzi smiled and said, "We have to go back to convey this kind of order. It would be strange if we didn't pay attention."
"I also know that this is a difficult task." Wang Xian showed an understanding smile and said: "Try to overcome it as much as possible. Fortunately, the imperial envoy will not be able to stay for a few days."
"Yes." The two nodded in agreement.
.
Presuming that the imperial envoy was about to arrive, Wang Xian sent someone to the county to greet him. Unexpectedly, after waiting for three days, he still did not see the imperial envoy.
For three days, reports continued to come in, saying that monks, Taoists, nuns, etc. had fled the county late at night...Wang Xian had always turned a blind eye to this. The Ming Dynasty's ultimatum was very rare, but he wanted to become a monk for various purposes.
But it is like a crucian carp crossing a river. The temple is not very strict. Basically, you only need to pay the money to get ordained. The same is true in the Taoist temple, but there is no ultimatum. There is no record in the Senghui Department and the Taohui Department. It is the same as the black households of the common people.
nature.
Now the imperial envoy requires every monk and Taoist priest to meet him with an ultimatum. Those who do not have an ultimatum will be exposed and have to run away first. They are all fellow villagers, so Wang Xian naturally wants to let them live.
However, a new piece of information shocked Wang Xian - there was someone not far from the county line who specialized in robbing monks and Taoists, and then captured them all.
What is this for? Even if we want to open a water and land dojo, we don’t need to capture the monks and Taoists together!
When the moon came out at night, Wang Xian ordered several detectives to disguise themselves as Taoist priests and set off first. He led twenty detectives and two hundred mechanized soldiers. He followed far behind without raising fire, relying on the starlight, until he left the county.
The Qingcaowu area in Lin'an County...
Suddenly, the police officer pretending to be a Taoist priest in front of him screamed in surprise. Wang Xian and others no longer concealed their whereabouts and rushed over!
After turning around a hill, Wang Xian and others saw several figures not far away, carrying several police officers on their shoulders, running wildly into the distance. These people were extremely skilled, and each of them was carrying a big man on his back, which was actually better than Wang Xian's.
Xian and the others ran very fast.
Wang Xian and others were chasing after them. They couldn't give up. Their companions were still in their hands! But the difference in strength was there. Seeing that they were chasing further and further away, they arrived at the river in a blink of an eye, holding the captives on their shoulders.
Quickly, throw it into the river like a sack! Wang Xian was so startled that he broke into a cold sweat.
Fortunately, there was no popping sound, and then several men in black also jumped into the river. Only then did Wang Xian and the others see clearly that there was an open boat on the river!
