Chapter 213 Li Xianggong

It was already the sixth day of the second month that Yang Yun was invited to meet Zhang Jiuling.

He had just visited Dakong Temple that day. Because the renovation project in Dakong Temple was progressing smoothly, King Shou Li Mao intended to ask Li Longji to change the venue of the Taoist Dharma Assembly to Dakong Temple.

Han Zemu said to Yang Yun with a compliment in his tone: "His Highness Shou has worked tirelessly and has come to supervise the construction many times, and Master Yang has given great advice. Now the restoration of the Taoist statue is completed smoothly, just waiting for His Majesty to send someone to inspect and accept it."

Han Zemu followed the order to restore the Taoist statue. Now his merits are complete, so naturally I hope Li Mao can mention a few more words of his merits in the above table.

Unfortunately, Yang Yun had no responsibility to say good things to Li Mao for him. Even if he said that, Li Longji would not take it seriously if he made it in the memorial.

Who made the emperor take Li Mao’s son seriously?

The internal affairs of the royal family cannot be known. Yang Yun is also familiar with history and knows the allusions, but he cannot explain them in front of Han Zemu.

The two talked for a moment, and Yang Yun used the excuse to talk about this to Li Mao, and he went out of Dakong Temple and happened to meet the person who came to deliver the letter from the Zhang family.

The person who sent the letter was a young man, two or three years older than Yang Yun. Seeing that he was dressed, he didn't look like a servant. After detailed inquiry, he found out that he was Zhang Jiuling's grandson Zhang Guoqi.

Zhang Guoqi is Zhang Jiuling's eldest grandson and is one of the best among the younger generations of the Zhang family. He is also Zhang Yu's elder brother, three years older than Zhang Yu.

Zhang Zheng has three sons. In addition to Zhang Guoqi, there are also Zhang Zangqi and Zhang Yingqi. However, Zhang Zangqi and Zhang Yingqi are still young and are still studying. As for how many daughters Zhang Zheng has, it is not something Yang Yun can know. In short, Zhang Yu is Zhang Zheng's third daughter, and Yang Yun only knows this.

"The ancestor of the family has time to meet Master Yang this afternoon. He will greet Master Yang in a carriage at that time." Zhang Guoqi is very handsome and has a very cheerful personality. He is friendly in every move. Yang Yun had a very good first impression of him.

Yang Yun smiled and refused: "Young Master Zhang doesn't have to pick you up in person, I can just go there myself."

"Master Yang is a VIP invited by the ancestor of the family. Zhang's etiquette is passed down from family. If you are negligent, it is difficult to explain to the ancestor of the family after you go back...Master Yang does not need to refuse, just say so. This is an invitation."

As he said that, Zhang Guoqi handed the invitation letter to Yang Yun. With this thing, he could enter the Zhang Mansion with justification.

After Zhang Jiuling became the left prime minister, many people wanted to visit him but failed. Yang Yun had no deep family background and did not write a poem about Fenghe, so he could meet Zhang Jiuling. If the scholars outside knew about it, they would definitely be extremely jealous.

Yang Yun held the invitation letter and thought to himself: "How many scholars are fighting for this thing, but why do I think it's a hot potato... It would be great if this thing could be cashed in!"

"Master Yang won't have any inconvenience, right?"

Seeing Yang Yun's face hesitated, Zhang Guoqi couldn't help but ask.

Yang Yun smiled faintly and said, "I will definitely wait at home as promised."

...

...

He returned to Zuixian Tower with the invitation letter, and Wang Ji had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Yang Yun come back, Wang Ji quickly met the door and pulled Yang Yun to the backyard, saying, "There are too many Taoist priests coming from the East Capital now, and the relevant yamen in the court are a little overwhelmed..."

As Taoist Dharma approaches, Taoist priests from all over the world gather in Luoyang. These Taoist priests are used to fighting fiercely on weekdays, and they don’t know how to restrain themselves when they reach the feet of the emperor. They simply do everything for fame and fortune. Because Songmei used the name of "Martial Master Wu Zun" to enter the palace to fight with Luo Gongyuan, and was called "Tianshi" by the emperor, so she became the target of these Taoist priests who came to Luoyang to challenge.

It is also related to Songmei's infamous reputation now.

Everyone thinks that Songmei has a bad character, and they probably won’t be much higher than the Tao. At most, they will have some tricks. They all think that they can easily defeat Songmei and then snatch Songmei’s name.

"Didn't Liu Fu Yin send someone to block the door and not let someone in?" Yang Yun was indifferent to the battle. Songmei's good deeds had little to do with him.

Wang Ji said annoyedly: "I can't bear it... Those Taoist priests, who flew to the sky and the earth, didn't know what methods they used. Yesterday, someone broke in through the window and beat the old Taoist Songmei to the ground for their teeth. Fortunately, the government officials came forward to mediate, and the news did not spread. If this continues, our master's reputation will be destroyed by the old Taoist."

Yang Yun felt ashamed when he heard this.

In order to fight with Songmei, a Taoist priest broke into the window?

What is the difference between this and bandits?

Songmei’s real ability is to be mysterious and really make him fight with others, and with his body he can’t stand it.

Yang Yun can only understand the so-called battle as a private fight.

"Transfer him to a secret place first and don't let someone contact him, so that he won't cause trouble." Yang Yun instructed.

"Where did you send him? This old Taoist is very restless. He wants to re-establish his prestige at this Taoist event... In fact, these people were recruited by him. They showed off their entry into the palace and bragged and spanked all day long. If I hadn't stopped him today, he would have said he would go out to fight with the Taoist priest who injured him yesterday... I really think he has that ability?"

When Wang Ji mentioned Songmei, he looked angry, as if he regarded himself as the apprentice of the real Wu Zun Zhenren.

Yang Yun said: "You came back from Chang'an this time and brought people here, right?"

"ah!?"

Wang Ji was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Of course there are a few followers around him."

"Then use your entourage to take him into custody, and not allow him to go out and find someone to stare at him every day. This is not very difficult for you, right?"

Yang Yun's tone was tough.

Wang Ji thought about it and felt a little embarrassed: "Isn't it... not good to just imprison him like this?"

Yang Yun said angrily: "You are afraid that he will embarrass him, and you are worried that he will commit crimes? You know that he is a fake and that he will cause trouble. Why can't you take good care of him? His apprentices don't care for the time being, give them some money and let them find a way out for themselves. When this Taoist Dharma Assembly is over, you will find a way to send them out of Luoyang."

Wang Ji received Yang Yun's instructions, as if he had found a backer and had the confidence to do things, so he nodded solemnly, and then showed a fierce expression on his face, probably because he wanted to go back and repair Songmei.

Seeing that the agreed time was almost over, Yang Yun was about to go home to change his clothes before seeing Zhang Jiuling, and said, "Go quickly, so as not to cause trouble again. I have something else to do."

Wang Ji was full of enthusiasm: "What my senior brother is doing now is big things? Why don't you take me to see the world? I'll fight with you, or you can teach me some of the skills of the master first? You see, I'm following the master's sect, but I can't take the lead in the master's sect at all, and I can't take the lead in the sect at all when I encounter something. How can I bear it?"

Yang Yun really wants to say, if you don’t have superpowers, how can I teach you magic?

"Let's go in the future."

Yang Yun made a random excuse and sent Wang Ji away with a disappointed look on his face.

Yang Yun knew that Songmei was going to be in trouble. At least before the Dharma Assembly was held, Songmei would be taken into custody by Wang Ji as a prisoner and be imprisoned for a few days.

...

...

Yang Yun took a carriage to Zhang's mansion.

Although the carriage is a single carriage, the carriage is very wide and can accommodate Yang Yun and Zhang Guoqi sitting inside at the same time.

Zhang Guoqi mentioned Yang Yun’s practice of Taoism and asked a few enthusiastically. It seemed that young people were interested in those magical magics of ghosts and gods. Everyone wanted to become immortals who could turn their hands around and turn their hands into rain and kill people thousands of miles away.

Yang Yun said bluntly: "Taoist practices magic are basically a trick. There are many mechanisms hidden in the Taoist robe on his body, and he also needs assistants to assist in completing some tricks that seem to be miracles but are just tricks that deceive the world, and are not worth mentioning at all."

Zhang Guoqi was surprised when he heard this. He actually revealed his own shortcomings in the industry?

In fact, Yang Yun did not want to explain too much to Zhang Guoqi, so as not to become the second king. However, he was the eldest grandson of the Prime Minister's Mansion and pursued a career in officialdom. He thought he would not work hard on practicing Taoism.

"That Taoist priest..." Zhang Guoqi looked eager, and immediately reminded Yang Yun of the scene when he met Wang Ji. The two looked exactly like that.

Yang Yun shook his head: "If I make the matter clear, I'm afraid you will lose interest in spells."

Zhang Guoqi frowned and thought for a while, nodded seriously, and the disappointed expression on his face was very similar to that of Wang Ji when he left.

When I arrived outside the Zhang Mansion, I found it was just an ordinary house with a low front.

After all, Zhang Jiuling did not live in Luoyang for a long time, so he did not buy a property locally. The apartment was just a temporary house allocated by the court. Zhang Jiuling's real residence was in Chang'an City.

"arrive."

Zhang Guoqi said, accompanying Yang Yun to get off the carriage.

There was someone waiting in front of the Zhang Mansion. The man was wearing a white dress, with his back facing the carriage, looking rebellious, and a sword hanging around his waist, indicating that this man knew sword skills, which immediately reminded Yang Yun of the very unreliable "ranger" Gai Xiong before.

Yang Yun thought to himself: "This guy looks awesome, he won't be in the same group as Gai Xiong, right?"

Zhang Guoqi ignored the people standing in front of his home, as if he was used to the frequent uninvited visitors at home. Even if some people were waiting hard at the door, it would be useless. The servants would clearly inform Zhang Jiuling that he would not give him a visit. After a long wait, they could only leave in shame.

It's a long time to try it out!

"Young Master."

The main gate of Zhang Mansion opened and an old servant came out inside.

The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, the old servant is not an ordinary white dick, and he is very familiar with the way of welcoming and sending to the officialdom.

The man in white lit up his eyes and hurried over to the old servant and said, "I wonder if the prayer I sent the day before yesterday has been handed over to the museum's public?"

The museum was Zhang Jiuling's name. Zhang Yingqi glanced at him when he heard this, ignored him and took Yang Yun straight into it.

When Yang Yun passed by the man in white, he also looked at his face.

When Yang Yun saw this person's face, his first impression was that he was extraordinary.

When I looked at him for the second time, I felt that I was both strange and familiar. I always felt that I had seen him somewhere, but I didn’t remember where I saw him. It was very kind.

"What a relative of Gai Xiong?"

Yang Yun could only think so.

I heard the disciple say bluntly: "Mr. Li, your poem has indeed been sent in. My husband has read it and thinks your poem is well written."

"Then why don't I go in and pay homage?" The man in white was very angry, especially when he saw a man much younger than him who could enter.

Menzi explained: "But the matter of Fenghesi has passed. My husband does not use this to choose the people to visit now, so you can only go back and wait first. If my husband intends to summon him, he will definitely send someone to invite him."
