Zhang Jing returned to the capital, returned to Emperor Wanli, and asked for instructions on how to deal with the Zhang family.
Wanli originally wanted to kill everyone in the Zhang family and leave no one behind. Empress Dowager Li heard this and came forward to intercede for the Zhang family. Wanli did not dare to disobey his mother's wishes, and instead sentenced the entire Zhang family to be sent to the Liaodong frontier fortress.
When Mou Ying came back from Japan and learned that the Zhang family was in trouble, he regretted that he should not have gone to Japan at this time and failed to help the Zhang family. He could not let go of Zhang Jingru, so he resigned from his official position and went to the Liaodong frontier to accompany his sweetheart.
Zhang Jingru didn't want to drag Mou Ying down, so she refused to marry Mou Ying. Mou Ying never left her, and stayed with her for several years. Finally, she moved Zhang Jingru, and the two became husband and wife, and later they had Mou Rongtian.
After Zhang Jingru gave birth to Mou Rongtian, her health remained poor and she died of illness within a few years. Mou Ying missed his late wife and never remarried.
Wanli originally wanted the Zhang family to be exiled in the Liaodong frontier for generations, but later Empress Dowager Li spoke up. Empress Dowager Li said: "In the past five years, the Zhang family has suffered enough, so please forgive them."
Wanli had no choice but to order the Zhang family to be forgiven.
After Zhang Jianxiu left Liaodong, he lost all hope, so he fled into Buddhism and became a monk in the Shaolin Temple, with the Buddhist name Pudu. Later, the three heroes of the Jinyiwei reunited and went to Japan to assassinate Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Pudu was awarded the first class of Jinyiwei.
Later, the old head of the Shaolin Temple, Zen Master Ming Deng, passed away, and Pu Feng took over the mantle of Zen Master Ming Deng and took charge of the Shaolin Temple.
Zhang Juzheng's youngest son, Zhang Yunxiu, devoted himself to studies, wanted to obtain fame and revive his family business. During the period of military confinement in the frontier, he used all his free time to study hard. After his release, he studied hard day and night, dreaming of being named on the gold medal list.
However, his road to the imperial examination was not smooth. It was much more bumpy than the third brother who came first and the second brother who came second. He failed in the provincial examination twice, which made him discouraged. Later, he also escaped into Buddhism and became a monk in the Shaolin Temple with the Buddhist name Puji.
After becoming a monk, Puji often got drunk. Monks in the Shaolin Temple were generally not allowed to drink alcohol or eat meat, but Puji was an exception. Master Mingdeng felt embarrassed after considering that Puji was from a famous family, his family had suffered tragic changes, and he had repeatedly failed to succeed.
Blame him, just turn a blind eye, close one eye, and let it go.
Although Puji started late, his qualifications were very high, and his martial arts progressed rapidly. Later, he became one of the eight famous monks, ranked sixth, and was known as Zui Bodhi by people in the world.
Zhang Juzheng's second son Zhang Sixiu's whereabouts are unknown after his release.
Zhang Juzheng's third son, Zhang Maoxiu, could not bear the hard work and died of illness when he was sent to the army.
After Mou Ying resigned, Luo Sigong was promoted to be the governor of Fusi Town in Beizhen. After Liu Shouyou fell, he was promoted to the commander of Jinyiwei, and Li Ruzhen was promoted to be the governor of Fusi Town in Beizhen.
After Mou Ying resigned, Li Zhengping became disheartened and resigned. Later, he founded the Flying Tiger Escort Bureau and made a living as a bodyguard.
That night, in the study, Luo Sigong listened to Mou Ying mention the old events of the Zhang family, and thought to himself: "The years are fleeting, time flies by so fast, in the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed."
He said: "Brother, I don't dare to vouch for the Zhang family's redress. I can only submit a memorial. Everything must be decided by the Supreme Being."
Mou Ying said: "I understand this, you can just mention it."
Luo Sigong said: "Brother, rest here for the night and rush to the Shaolin Temple tomorrow."
Mou Ying said: "There are so many people here. I'm afraid it will attract Dongchang's attention, so I won't stay. I'll take my leave." He stood up and left.
The next day, Emperor Wanli met Luo Sigong in the imperial study. After hearing what Luo Sigong said, Wanli was overjoyed and said, "This is a good idea. If the three heroes can accomplish this, I will definitely issue an order to reward them."
Luo Sigong said: "This matter is of great importance, and I don't want Dongchang to know about it."
Wanli said: "Are you afraid that Yan Shou will cause trouble for you? You are overthinking it. He is so brave that he does not dare to ruin my good deeds."
Luo Sigong said: "Just in case, it's better to be cautious.
Wanli said: "I understand."
Luo Sigong added: "Wu Kunshan is still a prisoner of the imperial court, so it is very inconvenient for him to do things."
Wanli said: "When the imperial court employs people, I will make an exception and absolve him of his guilt and will no longer pursue him."
Luo Sigong said: "Wei Chen thanked His Majesty on behalf of Wu Kunshan." He also said: "Has His Majesty Long Mu previewed the excerpt presented by Wei Chen?"
Wanli said: "You have so many excerpts, which one are you referring to?"
Luo Sigong said: "This is a memorial asking the Holy One to vindicate Zhang Juzheng."
Wan Li's face sank and he said: "I've seen it, don't mention it again, let's go down."
On this day, Mou Ying came to the Shaolin General Academy in Dengfeng, Henan, and met Zen Master Pudu in a Zen room.
The two had not seen each other for many years, and they reunited happily. Pudu took Mou Ying's hand and said, "Brother-in-law, why are you here?"
Pudu is a monk. He has jumped out of the Three Realms and is not in the Five Elements. He should no longer call Mouying brother-in-law, but a monk is also a human being. If Pudu is asked to call Mouying Mou the donor, he will not be able to say it.
Mou Ying said: "Fourth brother, I have something important to tell you."
Pudu said: "Sit down and talk."
The two of them sat down and Mou Ying recounted the purpose of their trip.
Pudu said: "There is no need to say that it is the duty of a poor monk to serve the imperial court."
Mou Ying said: "Okay, let's rush to Wudang Mountain to invite Brother Kun."
Pudu said: "I'm afraid he doesn't want to see me. So, you go and invite him. I'll go ahead and meet you in Mouping."
Mou Ying said: "If I go alone, Brother Kun will definitely not come out. I want you to talk things over in person. We are all brothers in life and death. There are no problems that cannot be solved."
Pudu said: "You are right, there are no knots that cannot be solved in a brotherly relationship. Let's go together."
A few days later, the two came to the gate of Zhenwu Temple in Wudang Mountain and saw a crowd of devotees and believers in the square, and the hall was filled with cigarette smoke.
Pudu thought to himself: "The incense in Zhenwu Temple is so prosperous, it is no less than that of the main temple of Shaolin Temple."
Mou Ying asked a Taoist priest to inquire, and found out that Wu Kunshan did not live in the back house, but lived alone in Dagufeng Yinxantai.
Under the guidance of the little Taoist priest, they climbed over the mountains and ridges and came to the foot of Dagu Peak. The little Taoist priest pointed upward and said, "The Hidden Immortal Platform is up there."
Mou Ying saw the solitary peak standing and asked: "Where is the mountain road?"
The little Taoist shook his head and said: "This big solitary peak is surrounded by cliffs on all sides, and there is no way to go."
Mou Ying said: "Do we have to climb up the rock?"
The little Taoist priest said: "That's right. It's not easy to go to the Hidden Immortal Platform. Most people can't go up at all. If you two are in trouble, you can just sit and wait. Master Wu will go down the mountain to have dinner at dinner time, and we can meet each other then."
It was morning, Mou Ying asked: "Won't he come down for lunch?"
The little Taoist priest said: "Uncle Wu only eats one dinner every day."
Mou Ying raised his head and looked up, only to see Dagu Peak towering into the clouds, but not the top. He thought to himself: "Brother Kun, it's so inconvenient for you to stay up here."
He asked Pudu: "Fourth brother, do we want to go up?"
Pudu said: "If you are in trouble, we will wait below."
Mou Ying looked at the solitary peak, which was so high that it didn't reach the top, and felt a little scared. He was not sure whether he could climb up with his qinggong skills.
At this moment, a middle-aged Taoist priest came from a distance with a basket on his back. When he came to the foot of the peak, the young Taoist priest stepped forward and said, "My nephew has met the fifth master uncle."
It turns out that this person is Shan Sinan, the fifth disciple of the slovenly Taoist Ye Jinquan, the head of the Wudang Sect, and Shan Sinan.
Mou Ying cupped her fists and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Shan Wu."
Shan Sinan said: "Who is your Excellency?"
Mou Ying said: "I am Mou Ying."
Shan Sinan cupped his fists and said, "It turns out to be Brother Mou. I often hear Senior Brother mention you, but I have never had the opportunity to meet you. I didn't expect to meet you here today." He asked Mou Ying again, "Who is this master?"
Mou Ying smiled and said: "This is my fourth brother, Master Pudu."
Shan Sinan cupped his fists and said, "It turns out to be fourth brother. You two are looking for my senior brother. He is at Yinxiantai. Just go up there."
Mou Ying smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not good at Qinggong, so I'd better wait for Brother Kun to come down. What does Fifth Master want to do?"
Shan Sinan said: "I went to Yinxantai to deliver wine to senior brother, but he couldn't bring it up, so I brought the wine up."
Mou Ying then noticed that the basket on his back was full of wine jars, and asked, "How do you carry so much wine?"
Shan Sinan smiled and said: "Hey, what does this mean? Let alone this small amount of wine, I can carry it even for a living person. If Brother Mou can trust me, I will carry you up to meet the senior brother on my back."
.”
Mou Ying knew that Shan Sinan was a top performer in Qinggong, but she didn't believe that he had the ability to carry her on his back. He thought to himself: "I weigh at least two hundred kilograms. How is this possible with me carrying me up the Great Butte Peak?"
He smiled and said, "It's better not to bother Fifth Master."
Shan Sinan said: "Brother Mou, do you think you can't trust me? If you can't trust me, forget it. Just wait here."
Mou Ying smiled and said: "How can you not trust the fifth master? I'm just clumsy and I'm afraid of tiring the fifth master."
Shan Sinan said: "Hey, you're worrying too much. I won't be tired carrying you up." He took off his backpack and put it aside, bowed and said: "Brother Mou, come up. I'll send you up first, and then fourth brother."
Pudu said: "There is no need to bother Fifth Master, the poor monk can go up on his own."
When Mou Ying saw this posture, he felt that he couldn't do it anymore. He gritted his teeth and thought: "I will leave these two hundred kilograms to him. If there are any shortcomings, I, Mou Ying, will be lucky."
He lay on Shan Sinan's back. Shan Sinan held Mou Ying's thigh, and he jumped up, stepping on the cliff as if he were walking on flat ground. Pudu climbed up the rock, but his speed was not as fast as Shan Sinan's, and he was dropped far away after a moment.
Mou Ying admired in his heart: "Shan Sinan's Qing Gong is so high that no one in the world can match it."
Shan Sinan passed through the sea of clouds, and Mou Ying looked up and saw a platform above, thinking: "That should be the Yinxian Terrace." At this moment, Shan Sinan shouted "No!" and stepped into the air.
The body fell straight down.
Mou Ying saw that the situation was not good, and did not want to drag Shan Sinan down, so he let go of his hands and fell straight down.
Shan Sinan stepped on the broken jade, used his strength to shoot downwards, caught up with Mou Ying, hugged him in the air, and carried him on his shoulders. Then he turned sharply, approached the cliff, and climbed up the cliff.
Shan Sinan shouted: "Brother Mou, I just made a joke with you, but I didn't expect you to take it seriously and let go. Fortunately, I reacted quickly enough, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
Mou Ying smiled bitterly and said: "Fifth Master, you are making a big joke."
