First Minister of Ming Dynasty Chapter 205

Strange people and strange things, Zhang Xiang is clean, and rare in the world. Now a bandit has appeared, and he actually stood up and recognized it in broad daylight. Almost instantly, the public opinion in Jinling was detonated, and everyone was talking about it.

Let's see, what kind of character is this daring bandit!

Even if you steal into Zhang Xiang's mansion, you dare to come out. You don't care about Wang Fa, you deserve to be killed!

But some people say that he is a righteous chivalrous thief. Not only did he not steal when he entered the Zhang residence, but he also left a piece of gold behind, and then he took the initiative to stand up.

Everyone was talking about it, and they couldn't agree.

But after Zhang Ximeng heard it, he told Guo Ying directly that he didn't want to see him, and everything was done according to the law.

Guo Ying immediately understood, stealing money is not a capital crime, but sneaking into Zhang's house is so daring, no one can save him.

This thing is sure to die!

But when Guo Ying saw this person and asked some things, he felt that he should tell Zhang Ximeng, this person is a bit unusual!

His surname is Lu, and his name is Lu Qiuyun. He was originally from Huguang. He studied in his early years and wanted to take the imperial examinations, but he was not lucky enough to fail. Then he traveled around and went to ask the immortals.

I really don't know how this person's brain grows, anyway, it's probably not a carbon-based creature.

Not to mention, he went to Wudang Mountain and Longhu Mountain successively, and visited many famous Taoist priests, including Tianshi, and Zhang Sanfeng from Wulong Palace of Wudang Mountain... Yes, not a martial arts. , is the real Zhang Sanfeng who exists in history.

This man was also canonized by the Yuan Dynasty emperor and was respected as "the **** of loyalty and filial piety", and Zhang Sanfeng was not an anti-Yuan person.

Lu Qiuyun talked with this old immortal for many days, and consciously learned most of the skills of Taoism. In addition to the Confucian classics he read in his early years, he has already cultivated two of the three religions.

But Lu Qiuyun was not satisfied, he wandered around, acted as a chivalrous person, and gradually, he developed a powerful supernatural ability...stealing!

Yes, it is this ancient industry.

In addition to studying the art of stealing, Lu Qiuyun also set rules for himself. He does not steal from the poor, he does not steal from loyal ministers and filial sons, and he does not steal from honest officials and good people. Later, another friend said that among the red scarf thieves, there are not a few people who harm the people. If you have the ability, you can steal together.

As a result, this one stole Fang Guozhen, and then came to steal Zhang Ximeng. After stealing, he went to Luzhou and stole Zuo Junbi along the way.

Now that he is back in Jinling again, he blew himself up in the face of the issuance of Huaxia Treasure Banknotes. In the face of Guo Ying's inquiry, he knew everything, but in the end there was only one request, that is, to see Zhang Ximeng and ask him something.

"I think this person is talking nonsense. It's nonsense about studying and cultivating Taoism, about Longhu Mountain and Wudang Mountain." Sun Yan did not believe it.

But Guo Ying shook his head and said, "He does have a teaching talisman on him, and he looks like a serious Taoist priest, but I don't know why he likes stealing? I asked him, he didn't say anything, he insisted on coming to see him. Zhang Xiang."

Sun Yan snorted: "Is that picture just seen casually?"

Guo Ying grinned, he really wanted Zhang Ximeng to look at Lu Qiuyun, and chatted by the way, so as to prove to Zhang Ximeng that he was not too rubbish, but that this opponent was too unusual!

"Bring him! It's time to listen to the story after dinner."

Zhang Ximeng agreed in the end. To be honest, he didn't do it for Lu Qiuyun, but heard Zhang Sanfeng's name... This man was not only famous in later generations, but in the Ming Dynasty, he was a famous Taoist priest, and Zhu Di sent someone to look for him.

Zhang Ximeng Cuncui was just curious and wanted to see, what is so special about this disciple of Sanfeng?

Sure enough, after dinner, Guo Ying brought Lu Qiuyun.

It stands to reason that this is a rebellious thief who doesn't even care about life and death, but when he saw Zhang Ximeng, he lay directly on the ground and kowtowed.

Zhang Ximeng couldn't help sneering, "You have violated the law of the country, come and beg me, and I can't spare you!"

Lu Qiuyun didn't care, he said: "The sinner is only dead, it's just that the sinner wants to ask Prime Minister Zhang to clarify his doubts, and when he hears it, he can die!

Zhang Ximeng smiled, "I don't understand the **** of your cultivation and becoming an immortal, and I can't explain it to you!"

"No!" Lu Qiuyun immediately shook his head and said, "I, I have read Zhang Xianggong's decree of granting land, and I also heard that Song Xueshi's sacrificial text in front of Zongze's tomb was actually instructed by Zhang Xiang. After the sinner read it, he felt that only Zhang Xiang could Explain to me."

Still a good thief!

Zhang Ximeng couldn't help laughing, "Then talk about it!"

Lu Qiuyun was overjoyed and immediately said: "Zhang Xiangmingjian, sinners read Confucius and Mencius less, and know a truth, it is called not suffering from the few, but suffering from unevenness. Later, after traveling through the mountains and rivers, begging the immortals to ask questions, and I heard that the way of heaven is more than enough... Sinners think that the way of heaven is just and fair."

Zhang Ximeng pondered a little, and he couldn't make a mistake in his understanding.

But the next sentence could not fix Zhang Ximeng.

"Sinners see that the poor are getting poorer in the world, and the rich are getting richer. The rich and powerful family, the land and the land, the poor people, have no place to stand. This is absolutely not the way of heaven, so the sinner intends to supervise on behalf of the heavens, take the wealth of the rich, and help the poor. Make the rich and the poor equal, and the people live and work in peace and contentment... I don't know what Zhang Xiang thinks, what is wrong with what sinners think?"

Zhang Ximeng was stunned, and it took a long time to know whether to laugh or cry, "Are you going to rely on stealing to achieve the balance between the rich and the poor?"

Lu Qiuyun nodded, "Yeah! Take money from the rich and give it to the poor, so won't you be able to equalize the rich and the poor?"

Zhang Ximeng put his hand on his forehead and couldn't help laughing: "How many can you steal by yourself? How can you balance the rich and the poor?"

"This... the sinner stole about three hundred or so, and the sinner knows that it's just a drop in the bucket. But the sinner thinks that as long as more and more people stand up, there will be thousands of righteous thieves in the world, and there will naturally be times when the rich and the poor are equal. At that time, it was also the journey of the Dao, and the world was a public!"

Lu Qiuyun's eyes lit up, and he talked eloquently, as long as there were enough people who stole it, and with the spirit of Yugong moving mountains, he could finally steal a Datong world with equal rich and poor.

Not only did he think so, but he actually practiced it.

"Since you are willing to be a thief and you are righteous, what doubts do you have? What do you want to ask me when you come to me?"

Lu Qiuyun scratched his head, "Zhang Xianggong, the sinner is thinking of equal wealth and harmony in the world. But I see Zhang Xiang's decree for granting land, and the idea of ​​dividing the land equally and helping the people. I really can't figure it out, what's the difference between our propositions?"

He asked this, and before Zhang Ximeng could speak, Sun Yan laughed angrily, "Lu Qiuyun, I've never seen you so shameless... You are a little thief, how dare you compare with Zhang?"

Lu Qiuyun became anxious, "I'm a thief? Then what are you? Every time I stole money, except for a little for my own use, I gave the rest to the poor. I'm not greedy or take it, and I have much more conscience than officials! Aren't you also supported by the common people? Spend the people's fat and people's anointing? You dare to say that there is no corruption? I am a small thief, what are you? Are you a big thief?"

These few questions made Sun Yan speechless. It wasn't that he couldn't say it, but he felt that this person had closed the loop logically, and if he said more, it would be nonsense.

"Zhang Xiang, this man is a madman. You don't need to talk nonsense with him, just arrest him and punish him."

Zhang Ximeng took a breath and thought for a while.

It seems that Lu Qiuyun is crazy, but he also has his own logic and his own thinking. Such a person really can't simply be regarded as a lunatic.

Zhang Ximeng smiled and said: "Lu Qiuyun, since you think you are right, why can't you make it public, and have to be secretive?"

"This..." Lu Qiuyun blushed, "Prime Minister Zhang is joking, how can the theft since ancient times be made public?"

Zhang Ximeng said lightly: "You also know that stealing is wrong?"

"I can't say the same... I, I only steal ill-gotten money, I'm not an ordinary thief!"

"You also know that there are thieves who are not limited by rich and poor, but just want to satisfy their own selfish desires?" Zhang Ximeng asked.

Lu Qiuyun nodded, "It's natural, people are divided into three, six, nine, and so on, and it makes sense!"

"Then how do you want thousands of people to steal with you? If there is such a day... your gang of stealing disciples may be more honest than the court officials?"

Lu Qiuyun was stunned. Not only was he not stupid, but he was also quite smart. After thinking about it a little, it was not uncommon for officials to be corrupt. But at least the officials are still on the bright side, and the court's Wang Fa is in charge. If something happens, at least there is a place to seek grievance. Whether or not the lawsuit can be won is another matter. At least the way is still there.

But let thousands of thieves do it, they hurt the people, I'm afraid there is no place to seek justice, isn't this even more embarrassing?

"I, I don't know!"

Zhang Ximeng smiled, "You don't know, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, then I'll ask you one more thing... You think that if you steal the wealth of the rich in the world and give it to the poor, the poor will be able to live better. ?"

Lu Qiuyun frowned and said hesitantly, "Then, isn't it a good thing to have money?"

This time, Zhang Ximeng didn't need to say anything. With the financial common sense he learned in the small class a few days ago, Sun Yan was able to stab Lu Qiuyun's **** with a rolling pin and open his eyes.

"What the poor lack is more than just money! After equally dividing the land and acres, there is still great prosperity. It is necessary to teach people how to fish, let everyone read, and every family is rich... If you steal all the way, it will only corrupt people's hearts and breed idlers, not only There will be no harmony in the world, there will be chaos in the world, and there will be endless disasters! A stubborn bandit like you should be punished and set an example!" Sun Yan said unceremoniously.

Lu Qiuyun paused, sighed lightly, and showed a little loneliness, "Maybe... After all, the few apprentices I brought out have already committed crimes. They stole people's money and harmed innocent people. I was also confused, so I came here. I beg Zhang Xiang to clear up the confusion... After saying so much, I should also reward Zhang Xiang! In my arms, there is a letter from the Yuan court general who answered the letter to Zuo Junbi from Badu Lu, and I stole it. They are embarrassed , seems to be detrimental to Liu Futong's Northern Expedition army. Zhang Xiang, what are your plans?"
