Chapter 201 Evaluation of the two old men

Zhang Yuchu never believed that the ancestor he thought was actually a liar, so after hearing Hu Ye’s guess, he thought a lot of things to refute Hu Ye.

"You said that old man thought your guard would become a success after following you. After the King of Yan gave you the house, would you help the King of Yan manage the place?" Zhang Yuchu paused for a moment and said.

"Yes, this was told by Lao Qian and His Highness Yan King himself." Hu Ye said without objection.

"Then let me ask you, your guard was just a general flag before, and now there will be no war. If there is no military merit, will he have a chance to be promoted?" Zhang Yuchu asked.

After hearing this, Hu Ye buried his head. If Lao Qian really stayed in Zhang Fu's army, the Mongols had been beaten back to their hometown. It would be basically impossible to win titles based on military merits.

"Since you don't say it, I'll just assume you've made a mistake." Zhang Yuchu smiled faintly, and then said, "Let's think you are only thirteen years old now. However, a thirteen-year-old magistrate, I have never seen such a person since two dynasties. You are the first one."

"If your guard followed you before, it seems that his future is much greater than being a general flag. In just one month, you have been promoted from an unparalleled official to a sixth-rank magistrate. Who can guarantee that you will not be promoted to the title in the future?"

Hu Ye had never thought about being promoted to a position before, but since he saved Saren and other women, Hu Ye knew that it would be impossible to live in the Ming Dynasty without a hat on his head.

And he helped Zhu Di so much. When he ascended the throne in the future, his title will definitely be indispensable. Zhu Di is not a cunning person like Zhu Yuanzhang who is a cunning rabbit and a lackey. It can be seen from the huge rewards he received after he ascended the throne.

If you think about it this way, as the first person to follow him, can Lao Qian still treat him unfairly? Doesn’t this seem to be much more glorious than being a general flag?

"Also, after you return to Peking, did you suggest that Your Highness Yan asks merchants to donate money to build Guanting Dam and Miyun Dam? If it weren't for these two dams, it would be difficult for Peking to survive this year's severe drought and can also save the Ning King in the west."

"Also. When you were in Peking, you solved the corrupt officials like Zhou Jie. Are you helping His Highness Yan to govern Peking? Have you changed a lot in your six months in Peking? Haven't these two things been told by that old man?" After Zhang Yuchu finished speaking, he looked at Hu Ye coldly, thinking that his argument would convince Hu Ye.

At first glance, Hu Ye seemed to be right about Zhang Yuchu. Could it be that he was wrong? That old man was really the legendary Zhang Sanfeng? Could it be that someone in the Ming Dynasty could live to be over 130 years old? What is that concept?

"Master Zhang Tian said so much, just to prove that there is an elixir of immortality in this world?" Hu Ye knew that he could not refute Zhang Yuchu's point of view now, because what he was talking about was facts.

"No. I just mean that the ancestor may still be alive, and he has been traveling among the people." Zhang Yuchu said lightly.

Hu Ye rolled his eyes and kept worrying that Zhang Sanfeng was still alive and that he had lived to his 130s. Isn’t it just that your ancestor took the elixir of immortality?

"Boy, you just said that there was no place in the Tian Dynasty that can live to be over 130 years old?" Kong Ne asked curiously after a silence.

"No, there are quite a few people who are 100 years old. But it is really impossible to live to 13 years old." Hu Ye said firmly.

"Hey. It seems that no one can convince you about this issue. Let's change the topic." Kong Ne knew that Hu Ye and Zhang Yuchu had their own opinions and would not have a unified view at all.

"Boy, when I see my ancestor next time, I will naturally make you believe it." Zhang Yuchu smiled and threw the South China Sutra in front of Hu Ye. "I am very satisfied with the question you answered. I will give this South China Sutra to you."

Hu Ye wanted to return the South China Sutra, but Kong Ne spoke, "Boy, since Master Zhang Tian wants to give it to you, you can accept it. The essence of the Confucian and Taoist schools has come to you. You have to do great things in the future. Maybe you can even speak to me."

All of them say that this is the best. If you don’t accept it, you will probably respect Confucianism and promote Taoism. To be honest, although Hu Ye has been influenced by Confucianism since he was a child, he has no rejection of the hundreds of pre-Qin schools. Now the Nanhua Sutra is the essence of Taoism, which contains the core ideas of Zhuangzi. You will definitely understand it after reading it.

"Then thank you Master Zhang Tian." Hu Ye bowed and then put away the South China Sutra.

"By the way, I heard that your kid's master is called Wuming Zhenren, why have I never heard of it?" After Zhang Yuchu had another glass of wine, he asked Hu Ye curiously.

Hu Ye's eyelids were overturned. If you don't know, you don't know. Why do you have to add a real person? It must be the guy Ruan An added.

"My master said that since he retired to the mountains and forests, he would not care about the world, so he rarely went down the mountain. It was normal that Master Zhang Tian had never heard of it." Hu Ye continued to write Hu.

"So that's it. Sometimes I really have to visit Master Ling." Kong Ne also suddenly realized that he admired the kind of master who could not come from the world. Just like Zhang Yuan's father Zhang Dingbian, he really wanted to go to Lingyin Mountain to see that old friend.

"Oh, by the way, I'm here to thank Yan Shenggong for helping him, otherwise this matter would be really bad." Since Changsheng's matter did not make sense to Zhang Yuchu, Hu Ye didn't plan to talk to him in detail, so he changed the subject and said to Kong Ne.

"It's just a simple task, it's not a big deal. And you haven't told me if there are any hidden secrets in the Analects of Confucius. How could I have any accidents?" Kong Ne laughed and then started a cup with Zhang Yuchu again.

Hu Ye has not yet figured out why Kong Ne gave himself such an important thing as the Analects of Confucius. If there is really any secret inside, no one of you, Yan Shenggong of all generations, could see it? Do you have to leave it to me a little kid to check it out?

"By the way, if you find any secrets in it, remember to tell me. I am very interested in that anthology book. I asked this old guy for a few times, but he refused to lend it to me. Now I'll give it to you directly." Zhang Yuchu also laughed and said to Hu Ye.

"Master Zhang Tian, ​​you are not kind anymore. I haven't spyed at your Taiyi Nanhua Sutra. You have spyed at my Analects of Confucius. Do you have to be punished with a glass of wine?" Kong Ne said with a smile.

"Haha, I should be punished." Zhang Yuchu poured himself a cup while smiling.

Hu Ye looked at the two old men who looked like enemies and friends, and didn't know what they were thinking about.

But seeing that they completely ignored themselves, they knew that they had nothing to do here, so they bowed respectfully and slowly left the room.

"Master Zhang, what do you think?" After Hu Ye left the room, Kong Ne put down his wine glass and asked Zhang Yuchu lightly.

"I can't see through it, I can't see through it. I have seen countless people. Seeing that there is only a gray area behind him, this is not simple." Zhang Yuchu sighed.

"Hehe, that's of course, otherwise I wouldn't have given him the Analects's book to watch." Kong Ne said with a smile.

"What truth do you think he can really understand from the Analects of Confucius and the South China Sutra? We have been studying it for so many years, but we have not understood it." Zhang Yuchu said in confusion.

"The way of doing things in this small thing is different from ours. If you dare to fight against a giant like Wanghuai Tower with one person? Not to mention the Chongshan Hou Li Xin. And this time the emperor happened to be rewarded with a veteran, which made the Chongshan Hou dare not act rashly. I can guarantee that the emperor must have a shadow of a boy in this operation." Kong Ne smiled lightly, then poured the last little wine from the wine pot into his own wine glass.

"So, the secret we can't see through. This kid may be able to see through. I want to know what secrets our ancestors left for us." Kong Ne poured the last little wine into his mouth and murmured. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
