The founding of the Ming Dynasty began with tricking Zhu Yuanzhang into recognizing him as his fathe

Three years later, Huangjue Temple.

There

was a knock on the door.

The little monk who was sweeping the floor in the courtyard threw the broom, and then impatiently opened the courtyard door.

"There's nothing to eat here! Get out of here!" After opening the door, the little monk shouted directly outside, and then he saw the appearance of the person who came clearly.

It was a man in red underwear with a gray cloth shirt over it.

The man has obviously walked a long way, but he can still feel a fierce aura from him.

Seeing the fierce man in front of him, the little monk was afraid and wanted to close the door, but the man grabbed the door frame and couldn't move.

"Little bald donkey, let me ask you if there is someone named Fang Yu here?" the man asked.

"What Fang Yu, no, no!" The little monk just wanted to close the door now, and didn't want anything else.

"Think about it, I've inquired about it, it's in your temple!" the man said.

"If you say no, you don't! You let go of your hand!" said the little monk impatiently.

"Ahh

He directly grabbed the little monk's clothes and picked him up directly.

"Lao Tzu asks you, is there anyone named Fang Yu in your temple! Honestly, I won't kill you!"

As he spoke, the man spun the little monk directly in the air, as if he was making Indian flying cakes.

"Put me down, put me down. The little monk slapped the man's arm in horror, trying to get the man to put him down.

But the man turned faster and faster, and turned faster and faster.

"Yes, yes, there is a person named Fang Yu. He came back with Senior Brother Enlightenment a year ago, and now he seems to be helping out in the kitchen!" the little monk said quickly.

"That's right!" After hearing the little monk's words, the man put the little monk on the ground.

The little monk only felt that everything around him was spinning, and he just wanted to take a step when he fell to the ground.

"Can you ask Mr. Fang Yu to come out for a while, I have a seal for him." The man said.

"Me!".

The little monk tried several times, and finally got up from the ground, just wanted to refuse, but thought of the fierceness of the man.

"I'll help you take a look. "

After saying that, the little monk left in a hurry, and he didn't even close the door.

The man sat down directly on the steps.

"Senior Brother Enlightenment, what about your eldest brother?" After looking around in the kitchen but not finding Fang Yu, the little monk ran directly to Enlightenment.

Enlightenment is Zhu Chongba's Dharma name in Huangjue Temple.

"What are you looking for my eldest brother for?" asked Zhu Chongba suspiciously.

A year ago, he and Fang Yu went through hard work and finally returned to Huaixi from Henan and returned to Huangjue Temple. He continued to be his monk, while Fang Yu became a helper in the monastery kitchen.

"There's a bastard out there looking for your big brother!" said the little monk.

"Someone is looking for my eldest brother and Master Mingjue to go out to buy food, and it is estimated that they will be back in the evening. You take me to see the man. Zhu Chongba said.

Following the little monk, Zhu Chongba came to the side gate of the temple and saw the man sitting on the steps.

"Do you have anything to do with Fang Yu?" asked Zhu Chongba.

Hearing Zhu Chongba's voice, the man got up from the ground and turned around.

"Hey!" Seeing Zhu Chongba, the man's eyes lit up.

And Zhu Chongba saw the man, and his face also showed surprise.

"Heavy eight?!".

"Soup and!".

"How are you!".

Then Zhu Chongba and Tang He, who had reunited after a long absence, hugged each other directly.

Tang He is Zhu Chongba's fellow countryman. When they were children, the two families leaned together, Tang He and Zhu Chongba grew up together since childhood, and they were like brothers and sisters. Later, Tang He's parents died, and Zhu Chongba's family also helped him for a lot of days.

Later, because of the heavy taxes paid by the imperial court, Tang He left his hometown and went outside to make a living. The two have also been cut off since then.

Unexpectedly, the two of them actually met here!

"Let's go, go to me, go to me!" Zhu Chongba took Tang He's hand and was about to go to the temple.

"Senior Brother Enlightenment, there are rules in the temple that strangers cannot enter and exit at will. The little monk stopped in front of Zhu Chongba.

"Go aside!" Without waiting for Zhu Chongba to speak, Tang He kicked the little monk away.

"Jueyuan, just this once, it's okay. Zhu Chongba said to the little monk on the ground.

Then he pulled the soup and left.

The little monk got up from the ground and spat in the direction where the two of them left: "There will be a time when you look good in the future!".

Back in his room, Zhu Chongba found a stool for Tang He.

"Five years ago, you left the village without saying a word. What happened to you after all these years?" Zhu Chongba asked, then poured the soup and a glass of cold water in a broken bowl.

Tang He was also thirsty all the way, and drank the slightly cloudy water in the bowl.

"Over the years, I have traveled from south to north, working as a beggar, as a handyman, just to eat. Now under Guo Dashuai's hands, it is a thousand households. "

"Qianhu, Guo Dashuai, have you gone to run an errand under the Dog Imperial Court?" asked Zhu Chongba in a bad tone.

He didn't have a good impression of the Yuan people and the imperial court.

"How could I go to do things for the Dog Court! My father and mother died because of the heavy taxes of the Dog Court!".

Tang He's face showed a bitter hatred for the Yuan Court!

"Guo Dashuai is a person under General Liu, yes. When Tang He said this, he lowered his voice: "It's a rebellion." "

"Rebellion, have you rebelled?" Hearing Tang He's words, Zhu Chongba did not have the slightest surprise on his face.

"Yes. The Dog Court did not allow us people to live. When I heard that General Liu was rebelling by the Yellow River, I led my brothers, who had been with me for many years, to join him. Unexpectedly, I was only halfway through the road, and I heard that General Liu was driven to Henan by the Yuan soldiers, and he was no longer in the original place. It happened that Guo Dashuai also responded to General Liu at that time, drove away the Yuan people in Haozhou, and turned against the imperial court. I led my brothers directly to join Guo Dashuai. "

Tang He said.

"Later, Guo Dashuai saw that I was clever and killed a lot of people, so he appointed me as a thousand households to manage more than 500 people. "

Qianhu was a military official position in ancient times, which was divided into upper, middle, and lower classes according to the number of commanders.

More

than 700 people are more than 1,000 households, 500 or more people are medium 1,000 households, and 300 or more people are lower 1,000 households.

The soup and this thousand households are the middle thousand households.

"Yes!" Zhu Chongba was happy and gave Tang He a punch in the chest: "Boy, it's developed!"

Although Zhu Chongba and Fang Yu have been staying in Huangjue Temple, they are also watching and listening to all directions, and they have a full view of the world's major events.

They already knew that Liu Futong and Han Shantong were learning the story of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang told to them by Fang Yu by the Yellow River a year ago, and they made a stone man, saying that "Mo Dao stone man has one eye and provokes the Yellow River to rebel in the world", and all the hundreds of thousands of people on the Yellow River have instigated rebellion.

However, Liu Futong was defeated by the Yuan soldiers, and after fleeing to Henan, they could no longer get news about Liu Futong.

However, because of the uprising of Liu Futong and Han Shantong, all the Han people in the Central Plains who were dissatisfied with the Yuan Court broke out!

Throughout the year, there were constant beacons in various places, and the uprising ranks were endless.

Zhu Chongba once suggested that Fang Yu and them also put up a big banner against his mother, but they were stopped by Fang Yu because the time had not arrived.

However, Zhu Chongba has always been thinking about the rebellion, so there is no surprise that Tang He joined the rebel team. In his heart, any Han people should be against the dog court.

"Juba, what about you, how have you been doing in the past few years?" Tang He asked.

"If you don't leave, my father and brothers will starve to death. Zhu Chongba said.

Hearing this, Tang He patted Zhu Chongba's shoulder.

Zhu Chongba signaled that he had nothing to do and continued: "In order to survive, I will come to the temple to become a monk." Later, there was nothing to eat in the temple, so we were each asked to go out and ······ fate."

After that, Zhu Chongba talked about how he met Fang Yu along the way, how he met Ma Baoshan, and how he escaped death and returned to the temple.

After listening to Zhu Chongba's narration, Tang He was stunned. He didn't expect that in just five years, his childhood companion would experience so many things. This experience is richer than his.

"By the way, you came to my eldest brother, what's the matter?" asked Zhu Chongba.

Fang Yu and Tang He had never known each other, and Zhu Chongba was curious about how Tang He knew about Fang Yu and why he came to him.

"Oh. Tang He took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhu Chongba.

"It was Guo Dashuai who sent me, and he said that he just handed over this letter to Brother Fang Yu, and everything was written in the letter. "

After receiving the letter, Zhu Chongba saw the words on the envelope written by Brother Fang Yu himself.

This year, Fang Yu taught Zhu Chongba to read and write, so now Zhu Chongba can already understand what is written on the envelope.

However, what made Zhu Chongba a little strange was that some of the words taught by Fang Yu were completely different from what he saw. I heard Fang Yu say what he taught himself was called simplified Chinese characters.

According to Fang Yu, simplified characters are much easier to recognize and write than normal characters, so you should learn simplified characters.

"The eldest brother went out to do the shopping, and he came back in the evening. If you're okay, stay here until the night. When the eldest brother returned, he personally handed him the letter. Zhu Chongba said.

"You give you the same. Tang He said.

"I have other tasks besides delivering the letter this time, since you can deliver the letter to Brother Fang Yu, then I won't stay. "

"Are you leaving?" Seeing Tang He get up, Zhu Chongba asked a little reluctantly.

He and Tang He knew each other when they wore open crotch pants.

We went up to the tree and dug out the bird's nest together, went down to the river to catch fish and shrimp together, let go of the cattle at the landlord Liu De's house together, and went to peek at the girl of the Wang family next door to take a bath. In short, the two of them are like brothers of the opposite sex.

Now that we have only met again for less than an hour, Tang He is about to leave, and Zhu Chongba is a little reluctant.

Seeing Zhu Chongba's reluctance, Tang He patted him on the shoulder: "Good brother, there will be a chance to meet in the future! By the way, you're a monk, can you have a drink?".

"you!" Zhu Chongba scolded with a smile.

Sending Tang He away, Zhu Chongba returned to his house with the envelope, waiting for Fang Yu to come back.

And Tang He and Zhu Chongba didn't find out that when they were discussing in the house, the little monk Jueyuan, who was bullied by Tang He, hid in the corner of the wall and overheard all the words of the two.

"Okay! Zhu Chongba, you actually fornicate with traitors! See if I don't go to the government to report you!" Seeing Zhu Chongba, who had sent Tang He away, return to his residence, Jueyuan in the dark thought fiercely in his heart.

"Jueyuan, where are you going?" asked the monk Jueming, who saw Jueyuan preparing to go out, and saw him.

"Go to the government!".

"What are you doing at the government? The government doesn't give us food anymore. "

"It's not this, I'm going to report Jue Wu, he is a traitor and intends to rebel!" After speaking, the little monk Jueyuan walked out of the side door of Huangjue Temple.
