Can you live forever

Chapter 97 Get the Tao and help

The tall giant walked forward with drums on his shoulders. Musicians gathered on both sides of the road. The sound of suona and gongs and drums continued endlessly. Dance with all your strength.

This was not prepared long ago, but spontaneously by the people.

The appearance of the golden dragon made the people in the entire Nanjing city believe that the gods came to the world, and the Taizu appeared.

Therefore, there must be a grand offering ceremony to express one's respect for the gods and pay homage to the Taizu. In the beginning, countless people knelt together and prayed to Zhang Zhixiang to lead the sacrifice.

Zhang Zhixiang obeyed their request, and changed into a purple-gold cassock and a jade-sealed gold crown.

So he led at the front of the team, holding the mahogany sword given to him by his fourth uncle in his hand, chanting the mantra of purifying heaven and earth, stopping every sentence, pointing it with the sword, and then repeating.

The spirit of the golden dragon reappeared, circling the sky above Zhang Zhixiang, and marched along with the sacrificial procession.

The lingering roar of the golden dragon made some people feel palpitations and cramps as long as they heard it. Therefore, some people were more exaggerated than those devout people. They knelt on the ground and kept kowtow...

With the death of Zhang Zilin, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, no one will take chances anymore.

There are rumors among the people that King Huai committed suicide, Dengwen Drum was stained with royal blood, and Taizu showed his spirit to kill all treacherous officials in the world. Anyone who knows Hongwu's past is in danger.

And more common people cried bitterly and shouted the name of Taizu.

It's not that life can't go on, but since Yongle, every year is not as good as one year, people are suffering...

The golden dragon is roaring.

However, the real villains are not afraid. On the tower of Chengtian Gate, Yang Tinghe watched the movement of the sacrificial procession with a telescope, and could even see the golden dragon roaring at him, but he was extremely calm and did not panic at all.

What is there to be afraid of if you are a mere weapon?
He has even killed a real dragon, is he still afraid of a phantom?

"As soon as King Huai dies, public opinion will be reversed. I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with this case." Not only Yang Tinghe was holding binoculars, but Liang Chu and Peng Ze were also watching.

What Peng Ze thought of was that the case was a bit troublesome.

Liang Chu snorted and said, "What's the trouble? Zhang Zhixiang's evil ways brought harm to the country, he bewitched King Huai to commit suicide, he used ghost and god spells to kill court officials, and he tried to use the name of Taizu to confuse the emperor. Everything is Zhang Zhixiang's crime. "

Although Peng Ze agreed with this statement, he still had a question: "Then, this matter has nothing to do with the Great Rites?"

Liang Chu didn't answer, but Yang Tinghe said slowly: "Why doesn't it matter?"

"Zhang Zhixiang is a monster born on the day of Jiajing's ascension to the throne. A demon star descended from the sky. It is because the emperor's virtue is deficient and he is not worthy of the position of supremacy that he can appear in heaven."

"I'm going to be the way of killing demons, Qingjun side, correcting the king's virtue!"

Yang Tinghe gave an excellent statement, but Peng Ze still felt unsafe: "Is it really possible? Jiajing's children are fierce, and most of the civil servants in the capital are used by him. If there is no hard evidence, it may end up in a verbal argument. "

The most troublesome thing about Jiajing is not how many soldiers he has in his hands.

But this person obviously has not received the education of the emperor, but he has reached the pinnacle of tactics. At the beginning of his succession, he allowed Peng Ze to abolish the factory guards crazily. A wise king.

As a result, Jiajing said, I believe in civil servants, but I don't like the people in Jiangnan.

Is this not easy?
fight!

More than 100 years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, half of the capitals and auxiliaries were from Jiangxi, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang. They have long been disgusted with it and drove away the people from the south of the Yangtze River.

then.

To overthrow Jiajing, the greatest resistance has become within the scholar-bureaucrat class.

Everyone also has the right to speak, that is, the public says that the public is right and the woman says that the woman is right. If the case is not settled, it is really not easy to make trouble.

"What's so difficult about this?"

"At that time, we will send a 'Dengwen Drum' to the capital, and everyone will naturally agree."

Yang Tinghe again downplayed the ups and downs, yes, as long as they wiped out Zhang Zhixiang, how would the North know whether the Dengwen Drum was destroyed or captured?

Even if they sent a fake Dengwengu to the capital, the civil servants in the capital knew how to stand in line. After all, even Zhang Zilin was dead, so how dare they bet?
I really support Jiajing's order to seal Dengwengu, whose butt is still clean?
Everyone was in awe of Yang Tinghe's methods again, and felt that the speaker was worthy of being the speaker.

……

As for Zhuang Xing, although it was different from Zhang Zhixiang's expectations, it didn't matter, the court obviously didn't dare to blatantly mobilize an army to stop them.

They just need to leave Nanjing safely and cross the Yangtze River.

I saw them off all the way to the Jiangdong Gate, exited the city wall, and walked several miles to the pier. The elders in Nanjing elected representatives, and even brought a team of Taoist priests who specialized in rituals.

They begged Zhang Zhixiang to increase the standard of the fasting ceremony, and open the altar in a serious way.

Zhang Zhixiang thought it was okay.

Although he didn't know how to do it, there was no problem with Zhang Yonghuan presiding over it. The altar was quickly set up, and a huge sacrificial ceremony began. More than 200 Taoist priests began to practice under Zhang Yonghuan's command, and more than [-] people went out of the city to watch the meeting.

The ceremony was held from morning to afternoon before finally ending.

People finally felt relieved after watching Jinlong return to Dengwengu, and then the representatives who had been elected before began to send Zhang Zhixiang to express their gratitude to him.

The people at the scene made hundreds of Wanmin umbrellas on the spot by cutting clothes.

They didn't know the danger of Zhang Zhixiang's trip, but simply expressed their gratitude to him, whether it was about the trade union, Datong Bank, or this ritual.

All the people shouted sincerely: "Respectfully send the little celestial master to Beijing, and the little celestial master is blessed!"

"Respectfully send the little celestial master to Beijing, all blessings, little celestial master!"

……

Under the overwhelming shouts, there was only a sound of horseshoes, and there were so many of them that they thought it was officers and soldiers coming, but when they turned around, it was not the case, they were knights in fresh clothes and angry horses.

There are more than 200 people in a team, and the leader is Shi Jingyan, the hero who helped Zhang Zhixiang in front of Chengtianmen.

He led the team to hold his fists in the distance.

"Little celestial master is going to the high mountains and dangerous waters. I'm afraid someone will harm him. Please let me escort the little celestial master!" Shi Jingyan said this, and people reacted.

Yes.

The little celestial master wants to send Dengwen drums to Beijing to speak out against the world, how could the treacherous person not take action?
"Little Heavenly Master, I'll go too!"

"I'll wait together! Send the little celestial master to Beijing!"

"We must not let the little celestial master be killed by traitors!!"

The people were very enthusiastic, but Zhang Zhixiang knew what the road ahead was. Since Nanjing sent troops, he didn't care how many people were killed. Those who should be silenced would not be short. Instead, he would give them the name of a bandit and kill them. Good deeds.

He bowed earnestly to everyone three times.

Everyone fell silent tacitly, and he said: "Going to the capital now, you will be close to death. It is only because there are many people that you can be safe and sound. I am afraid that if you follow along, you will lose your life."

"At that time, the army was in turmoil, and I didn't know whether it was better to save the princes, or to protect the drums."

"Therefore, the heart of caring is accepted, and I ask you to stay."

Zhang Zhixiang refused to let him go, and the vast majority of the people knew that they might be a burden if they went with them. They were speechless for a while, but many people shouted: "I am a hunter, and I have the art of bow and martial arts. I hope the little celestial master will allow me to do it."

"I am Zhang Yan from Xingyiquan, please accompany me."

"People in the Jianghu are known as the Iron Fist King, please accompany me."

"Please come with me!!"

There were still thousands of people asking to go, Zhang Zhixiang was still thinking about how to refuse, Shi Jingyan over there had already spoken for him, and he actually had some background in Buddhist lion roar skills, and his voice was extremely loud: "What are you all messing around with!"

"The little celestial master is going, he must march in a hurry to get rid of the pursuit."

"Do you want to slow down the marching speed of the little celestial master?"

It was very noisy for a while, they only had a passion, but they really didn't have the ability, Shi Jingyan and the others had horses, they could follow Zhang Zhixiang, but they didn't have horses.

"Let's go, strong men, I am willing to sacrifice horses."

I saw a wealthy householder start to unhook the carriage and free the horses. For a while, he followed suit. Those wealthy households and businessmen who were favored by Zhang Zhixiang because of the Datong Bank case supported him one after another, and some rushed back to the city to lead the horses. , No matter if it is from his own family or not, they are all brought over, leave a name for the master's family, and ask him for money later.

Within half an hour, two thousand horses gathered!

Those knights lined up on horseback, unexpectedly there was an extra battalion of cavalry...
