Doctors in the late Ming Dynasty

On December 25, although the foreign officials' team of up to 10,000 people dispersed and entered through various gates, Zhengyang Gate was the largest.

At this time, Zhang Jiebin squeezed into the crowd to watch the excitement. After watching for an unknown amount of time, he still felt that it was only spectacular when the city gate first opened. Although there were many teams entering the city now, the freshness had worn off, so he went to Zhengyang Gate.

Qipan Street.

Qipan Street is the main traffic thoroughfare of the inner and outer cities. Each of the four directions is a hundred paces wide. It is at the feet of the real emperor and at the entrance of the central government office. It is a place where commerce and strange people gather. Zhang Jiebin goes to Qipan Street whenever he has free time.

I ran around the streets and got acquainted with people from all walks of life there.

When Zhang Jiebin came to Qipan Street, he shouted towards the Gua stall from a distance: "Old Qianxu, I'm here!"

Qian Xuzi, fifty-seven years old, a Taoist from Youfang, has been in Beijing for four years. He comes to Qipan Street every day to set up a hexagram stall. He can't calculate a few hexagrams throughout the year, and his daily homework is just copying and writing scriptures.

When he first arrived, many people saw him as an immortal and came to tell fortunes, and he refused to refuse anyone who came. However, the efficacious people, let alone 12 out of 10, were simply unlucky. He became a laughing stock for a while.

, he doesn’t care either.

There are good people who deliberately contradict him. When he says it is bad, he will recognize it as good.

After a big somersault, the door gradually became empty.

Qian Xuzi didn't care, and continued to set up a hexagram stall and copy Taoist scriptures every day. Until Zhang Jiebin arrived, breaking his peace again.

Qianxuzi didn't seem to hear Zhang Jiebin's call, and he still went his own way. Zhang Jiebin said to himself: "Old Qianxu, many officials came to the city today. It's very lively. Someone will definitely come to you to tell your fortune. I heard that Zhang Shoufu was demoted to nineteen.

Eleven people have been dismissed from their posts, all of whom are officials from Henan and Shandong. They must be afraid, why don’t they go everywhere to pray to gods and worship Buddha?”

"The thunder is loud and the raindrops are light." Qian Xuzi said without raising his head.

"No way? I have heard many people say that Zhang Shoufu wants to restore the Jiajing New Deal and dismiss one or two thousand people from office at every turn? How can it be that the thunder is loud and the rain is small?" Zhang Jiebin said strangely.

"This time the official came, not the assistant." Qian Xuzi still said simply without explanation.

"Oh, that makes sense, but Zhang Chief Fu wants to implement the New Deal. If he doesn't remove all the opposition parties, how can he make room for the reformists?" Zhang Jiebin nodded, but still asked a bit strangely.

"There is no permanent opposition." Qian Xuzi said calmly.

"Are you saying that today's opposition will become the reformists who support him tomorrow? So you are also optimistic about Zhang Shouxu's new policy? You are not trying to imitate Jiang Taigong in fishing, are you?" As he spoke, Zhang Jiebin seemed to have discovered something.

It was a big secret, and he suddenly became excited and kept asking: "Old man Qianxu, please tell me quickly, is it true or not?"

Qian Xuzi was silent, and his hand stopped. The newly dipped ink immediately dripped onto the paper. It remained in the shape of ink droplets and did not faint immediately. He took another pen, dipped it gently, and said:

"No."

"Oh, I thought you were here to assist Zhang Shoufu!" Zhang Jiebin said in frustration. Both of them fell into deep thought for a while. I don't know how long it had been, but Zhang Jiebin said excitedly: "Old man Qianxu, I'm in the mountains

I heard a story, would you like to tell it to me?"

"Not good." Qianxuzi replied and continued to copy the scriptures.

"I heard that Xu Wei brought him out. It seems that someone came to him to relieve his boredom in prison in exchange for his paintings. I really like the Monkey King in the story." Zhang Jiebin ignored Qian Xuzi and mentioned the source of the story.

, began to talk about the havoc in the Heavenly Palace: "...At that time, the saints gathered the great saint together, but they could not get close. They yelled and fought, which had already alerted the Jade Emperor. Then he sent an order to Lord You Yi to go to the west with True Lord Yi Sheng.

Please Lord Buddha surrender..."

Qianxuzi, who didn't intend to listen, was forced to listen and made a fuss in the heavenly palace. When he heard "Go to the West to ask the Buddha to surrender", his hand copying the scriptures stopped again, his scalp was numb, and he vaguely felt that the Buddhist scriptures had lasted for more than a thousand years.

The battle for Tao will once again stir up trouble. But this time, the battle is no longer about the temple, but the secular world.

"Is two hundred years of rest and recuperation worth a battle?" Qian Xuzi sighed silently.

Zhang Jiebin, who was talking vigorously, was interrupted by this inexplicable sentence. He stopped and asked curiously: "Old Qianxu, did you listen to my story?"

Qian Xuzi nodded.

"How good is this story? I think it's much more interesting than those gods. Zhang Tianshi slays demons, and it's all the same. It's boring. I wonder if you should write about it too? Don't you like Lu Dongbin?

Tang Monk went to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures, so let Lu Dongbin go to the east to visit the gods!"

While Zhang Jiebin was praising him, he did not forget to complain about Zhang Tianshi, and then reminded him kindly, regardless of whether he mentioned Tang Monk and Journey to the West.

Qian Xuzi nodded again and continued to be lost in thought.

Seeing this, Zhang Jiebin smiled slyly. He deliberately told the story of Journey to the West to stimulate the Taoist priest. He knew that this Taoist priest had real abilities. Even though he was just running around here, as if he was just playing around, he did not study with Zhou Shu for five years in vain.
These days, he memorized some scriptures copied by Taoist priests and visited more than a hundred Taoist temples in the west of the city. No one knew which Taoist scriptures came from. After going back and forth, he knew that Qianxuzi was writing and establishing his doctrine here.

This was a Taoist man who lived in seclusion in the city. Zhang Jiebin had the idea to learn his skills and find something for him to do. So today's story about Journey to the West came about.

"It's time to make changes. Even Xu Wenchang, who believes in it, has tried every means to find Journey to the West to read it." Qian Xuzi let out a long sigh and called out: "That's it, that's all, come back tomorrow."

After saying that, he did not close the stall, but took the manuscript paper and walked away. The pace seemed slow but fast. Zhang Jiebin followed him several times before, but he was lost in the crowd.

The next day, Zhang Jiebin came early in the morning. Since the New Year's Day the day before, Shi Rentang has been closed. Jin Ying is not seeing the doctor now for minor illnesses, but only for critical and serious illnesses. He will go to see the teacher again after the New Year.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Qianxuzi was already sitting at the hexagram booth, not copying Taoist scriptures, but just reading a book.

Zhang Jiebin shouted from afar: "Old Qianxu, what are you looking at?"

"Yu Weizhai's "The Chronicles of the Nations." Qian Xuzi said.

Zhang Jiebin came up to him and saw that it was "Ziya's hiding in the stream" and muttered: "What is the Chronicle of the Nations? Is this just one volume?"

"These ten chapters are enough! Not to mention these two books." Qianxuzi smiled while stroking his beard, and then took two more books, which were "The Pinghua of King Wu's Defeat of Zhou" and "The Complete Collection of Searching Gods for the Origin and Origin of Three Religions".<

/p>

"You're going to use this to compete with Journey to the West? No way!" Zhang Jiebin is still not optimistic. He is familiar with the story of defeating Zhou, and he doesn't think it can be compared with Journey to the West to learn scriptures. As for "The Origins of the Three Religions", he has never heard of it.

.

"How many people have read "The Chronicles of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty"? Who knows that there will be no legends about gods in the future." Qian Xuzi was full of confidence.

The fifth year of Wanli came, and the old and the young kept talking about the journey to the west and the defeat of Zhou. It was just that the journey to the west always killed monsters, and the Shang and Zhou Dynasties gradually began to break away from history and became myths.

In addition to transforming the existing gods, such as King Tuota, Nezha, Erlang God, etc., we also created new gods, such as Ancestor Hongjun, Taoist Lu Ya, and Lei Zhenzi. Of course, it is inevitable to pinch the heads of Buddhist gods.

A makeover of the tail.

The list of reference books has gradually increased from the previous three books, "Sou Shen Guang Ji", "Supplementary Sou Shen Ji", "King Wu Conquers Zhou", "Bigan's Disembowelment", "Xuan Emperor Conquers Demons"...

Ten days have passed since the preliminary framework was set up, and the Spring Festival has also passed. On this day, Zhang Jiebin came to Qipan Street again, but the Gua stalls were empty, with only a letter saying "See you in three years."

Zhang Jiebin shouted: "Old man Qianxu, I've been waiting for you to come back, but you haven't taught me anything yet!" After shouting, he didn't care about other people's sideways glances, and went straight to the Central Government Office District in the east. As he walked, he

When we arrived at Dongjiang Mixiang, we headed straight to the Yamen territory.

No one had ever told him that the yamen area was closed to idlers, and since he was a young man, he was well-dressed and had a good temperament. He was taught to walk openly through the alleys where the central government offices were located.

The first person who passed by was the Ministry of Rites, but Zhang Jiebin had no interest in the Ministry of Rites. He continued walking through the streets and alleys, entering from an alley and passing through an yamen. The Ministry of Husbandry, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Zongren Mansion. He just looked at the plaque, Ministry of War.

, the Ministry of Industry, and the Honglu Temple, he also has no access.

It wasn't until he saw the word "Qintianjian" that Zhang Jiebin stopped, with a look of surprise on his face. Yes, after hanging out on Qipan Street for more than a month, he had long been particularly interested in the legendary "Qintianjian". Nothing to do today.

, and seeing no one to stop him, he started searching openly, and he actually found it.

Zhang Jiebin was very excited and planned to talk to the door, but he did not see the door. Seeing that the door was not closed, he lightly buttoned it and asked, "Is anyone here?"

When no one answered, he stepped in. He thought that since no one was guarding the door and the door was open, it was obvious that someone was allowed in.

Zhang Jiebin had just entered the door and walked a few steps when he heard a loud shout: "Who are you, who broke into Qintian Prison without permission?"

This loud shout startled Zhang Jiebin. Seeing that the visitor was over seventy years old, I thought he would not embarrass him, so he quickly explained: "My name is Zhang Jiebin. I heard people talk about Qintian Prison, and I want to come here to study."
"Are you a Yin and Yang household?"

"No."

The old man shouted: "Here comes someone!"

Several people immediately rushed out and captured Zhang Jiebin

He sent it to the Ministry of War Office.

At this time, it is the annual Zhengdan holiday, and the Ministry of War Yamen does not have a chief official. No matter how big or small, all matters will be dealt with after the five-day holiday is over.

When Zhang Mansion learned about the situation, they could only go to Dingxihou Mansion and let Zhang Shoufeng think of a solution.

The Marquis of Dingxi was having a banquet with more than a dozen of his staff. Zhang Shoufeng returned to the banquet and begged the Marquis of Dingxi: "Master Marquis, you are so ignorant that you broke into Qintian Prison. Now you are being detained in the cell of the Ministry of War. Please help me."

."

Jiang Jianyuan looked embarrassed when he heard this. He is an honorable man. As long as he does not make big mistakes, he can prosper from generation to generation and rest with the country. But there is only one thing that cannot be touched, and that is treason. Qin Tianjian cannot touch it.

He was full of fish, and Ke Dao had the right to hear rumors and make trouble. And Zhang Shoufeng was the first fourth-grade official to defect to him, and it was difficult not to help. When he was in a dilemma, he raised his head to see more than ten staff members, and Jiang Jianyuan said: "

Everyone is here, so we might as well discuss something."

When Zhang Shoufeng heard this, his heart tightened. He had wanted to take advantage of Marquis Dingxi's respect for him and ask the Marquis's family to come forward as a guarantee. Now it became a matter of discussion among everyone. Everyone understood the difficulties that Marquis Dingxi had and could not be biased towards him.

Talk, but still listen patiently.
