Yunxi said to the eunuch serving beside him: "Go and invite Taoist Master Kong from Baiyun Palace."
After a while, Taoist Priest Yu Jizi from Baiyun Palace came to Yunxi's place of stay, saluted and said, "I have met His Royal Highness the Grandson of the Emperor, Yujizi." Lao Zhu had a good appearance towards both Buddhist and Taoist families, so Yunxi Taoist priest Jizi didn't need to bow to Yunxi when he saw him.
Yunxi said: "A true man does not need to be polite." At the same time, he motioned to all the serving eunuchs to go down.
When they all went down, Yunxi smiled and said, "Thanks to Master Kong's help for this matter."
Taoist priest Yujizi (surnamed Kong) bowed and said, "I don't dare, I don't dare. Your Highness has an order. How dare I disobey it?"
Although it was Yunxi's idea to pretend to be a ghost this time, Yunxi didn't have any ability such as hypnosis. If he wanted to succeed, he had to have an "expert" to do it. Yunxi found the local Jinyiwei, but the Jinyiwei had shrunk in the past two years. It's amazing. There are no such masters among the Jinyi Guards in Shandong. Just when Yunxi was about to give up, a Jinyiwei captain said that there was a local Jinyiwei who came from the Baiyun Palace of the local Taoist temple. Yunxi immediately sent people to Baiyun Palace to find someone.
When Yu Jizi, the conservator of Baiyun Palace, heard that he was the servant of the current Emperor Taisun, he immediately ran to Yanzhou City, and then cooperated with Yunxi to complete this time's pretense.
So Yunxi now said: "I ask you not to reveal what happened in the past few days to others."
Yujizi said respectfully: "Pindao has not done anything in Yanzhou City these days. He is just discussing my Taoist Huitong with His Highness."
Yunxi knew that Yujizi was saying that he would not reveal anything to the public, and that he was using his reputation to increase the popularity of Baiyun Palace. However, although Yunxi was slightly disgusted, he would not refuse.
Yunxi has plans to use religion in the future. The difference is just which religion to use and which temple to use. Now, regardless of Buddhism and Taoism, the largest sect in Shandong is of course the Taishan sect, but Yunxi has seen the Taishan sect. He disliked the real person in charge of the sect very much, so he intended to support an obedient sect in Shandong. This Yujizi was quite capable and knew how to get into trouble, so it was more suitable, so Yunxi kept trying to win over him.
Of course, Yujizi also noticed Yunxi's support, so he stuck to him even harder.
Yunxi thought that since he mentioned Taoist Huitong, he should know more about it, so he asked: "I heard that Taoism is divided into many schools. I wonder where Baiyungong comes from?"
Yu Jizi smiled even more when he heard him ask this question. He said: "Your Highness, our Baiyun Palace was where Master Changchunzi preached in Shandong. The founder of our sect, Patriarch Xiao Ling, listened to Master Changchun in Aoshan. The teaching was founded after the Great Enlightenment and has a history of nearly two hundred years."
"...My sect takes tranquility, few desires, and natural inaction as the daily rules of conduct..., and takes dual cultivation of life and life as the key to cultivation..."
"Wo Guan is the direct lineage of Quanzhen Taoism. Although all Shandong Taoist sects are the inheritance of Quanzhen Taoism, only Wo Guan is the orthodox transmission. The poor Taoist teacher once went to Baiyun Temple in Peking to seek Taoism and worshiped the Taoist Master at that time. Master Chang Yue is my teacher."
Yunxi thought to himself: 'According to the standards of later generations, Taoist celebrities such as Ma Yu and Qiu Chuji of Quanzhen Taoism are suspected of being traitors even if they are not traitors. At least they are similar to the president of the Maintenance Association. But now there is no clear country. The concept of nation.'
Then Yunxi noticed what he said and asked: "Are all Taoist sects in Shandong Quanzhen Tao?"
Yu Jizi replied: "The Taoist sects in Shandong, including the Taishan sect, are all Quanzhen Taoists. Most of the Zhengdao sects are in the south. The Zhang family of Longhu Mountain is the head teacher of the Zhengyi tao."
"However, although Quanzhen Taoism is flourishing in the north, the most accomplished Quanzhen Taoist today is Zhang Zhenren of the Wudang Sect."
Yunxi wrote down his words, and then said: "Can Baiyun Palace and Taishan Sect be inherited by the same sect?"
Yujizi said: "It is indeed the inheritance of the same sect, and they are all the inheritance of Quanzhen Taoist Changchun."
Yunxi thought to himself: 'If the next generation of Taishan sect leader is still ignorant, he can support the merger of Yujizi's Baiyun Palace and Taishan sect, and then support him to become the Taishan sect leader. But he wants to support him even more. After all, Quanzhen Taoism had cooperated with the Mongols before the fall of Zhao, Song, and even the Jin Kingdom. Although they could not prevent the Mongols from destroying Zhao and Song even if they did not cooperate with the Mongols, they still felt resentful.' But let’s not talk about this to Yu Jizi now, let’s talk about it later.
Then Yunxi learned a lot about Taoism from Yujizi, and then it was getting late, so Yunxi sent Yujizi back.
The next morning, Yunxi wanted to settle down Luo Guanzhong, so he went to Luo Guanzhong's address again. When he got there, Yunxi said to him: "Mr. Luo, I will continue the northern tour with your highness. Your highness also knows that the old man has changed the letter. I was greatly impressed by the matter, and sent me specially to express my appreciation to the old gentleman, and also gave him a hundred guan of treasure money for his household use."
"His Royal Highness also said that he would continue his northern tour. If he is not in Yanzhou, he cannot take care of the old gentleman. The old gentleman is not young anymore, and it is not good to travel with His Highness the Emperor Taisun. So he wants to send someone to take the old gentleman to the capital. What does the old gentleman think? ?”
Luo Guanzhong didn't care much about where he was, but his youngest son Luo Rong tried his best to persuade him to leave for the capital. Luo Guanzhong felt guilty for his youngest son because he had suffered a lot with him, so Luo Rong persuaded him, I agreed.
Seeing that Luo Guanzhong agreed to go to the capital, Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief, then arranged for someone to stay and escort Luo Guanzhong to the capital, and then went back.
Back at King Lu's Sanwei Yamen, Qi Tai had already arrived. Qi Tai hurriedly handed the drafted letter to Yunxi.
Yunxi took it and sat on his seat and looked at it carefully. Yunxi did not look at his literary talent. Although Yunxi worked hard to improve his writing skills over the years, he was still not as good as a literati like Qi Tai, so he did not know how to do it. Comment on the writing style.
Speaking of which, although the format of the eight-part essay is a bit rigid, it can greatly improve the logical level and conciseness of writing, and it is not without merit. The reason why the eight-part essay has been criticized mainly is because of its examination content.
Yunxi mainly checked whether Qi Tai had written everything, and then copied part of it according to what Qi Tai had written, and then added the words to explain to Lao Zhu as a secret note to Lao Zhu. Of course, there were also some cute words.
Yunxi read Qi Tai's draft carefully and felt that there was nothing missing. Then he spent half an hour writing the secret note to Lao Zhu, then sealed the two letters and sent them to the guard to deliver at the inn. The capital also asked Lao Zhu to decide whether to send an imperial envoy to take charge of the follow-up of the "Yanzhou Corruption Case" alone, or to let the newly appointed Yanzhou officials investigate the case.
