44. "Dowry"
Emperor Longzheng was profound, but in his heart, he was pondering Yuan Chun's expression today: When Jia Shangyi said these "Heavenly Dao" and did these verifications, he was completely casual and easy, without a little hesitation between words and actions. It seems that for her, these are no longer esoteric and unspeakable "heavenly ways", but common sense in life.
This means that there are two possibilities: first, Jia Shangyi is very familiar with these "Heavenly Dao"; The second is that the "Heavenly Dao" mastered by Jia Shangyi is deeper and broader than what she said!
Emperor Longzheng was not surprised that Jia Shangyi had reservations.
It's human nature to have reservations, and there may be many reasons behind it, and it's not interesting to pursue it.
What he was thinking was: The person in front of him who met the immortal was just a registered disciple of the immortal! According to her words, she didn't even have the qualifications to call the fairy "master", but the fairy revealed so much "Heavenly Dao" to her! I'm afraid that in that fairy's heart, Jia Shangyi will not be as insignificant as she said.
On the other hand, now calm down and think about it: the matter of removing the demonic qi of the cave void just now is also quite strange.
Dong Xuzi was very proud and confident at first, and predicted that there would be black qi coming out of Jia Shangyi's body, and he would do some unbelievable things.
He was shocked at the time and didn't react, but now that he thinks about it, he understands: At that time, Dong Xuzi was probably ill-intentioned towards Jia Shangyi! But in the end, Dong Xuzi's prophecy did not come true, so he could only come up with such a trick of dyeing red turmeric paper with alkaline water to deceive the king, and was also debunked by Jia Shangyi on the spot. It can be described as a model of "self-inflicted, not alive"!
If that cave void really only has such a little ability to dye red turmeric paper with alkaline water, why did he say such a prophecy in the first place, and as a result, he couldn't get off the stage?
Thinking about this matter, the biggest possibility is that Dong Xuzi does have a little bit of Taoist supernatural powers, so he was so proud and confident at the beginning; But when he wanted to clean up Jia Shangyi with this magic power, his magic power was broken! And it was broken silently, without the slightest ripple!
That's what explains today!
This is to say: most of the body of this Jia Shang Doctor has the talisman treasure or method given by the Lotus Realm Fairy! Later, the cave void dog jumped off the wall in a hurry, wanting to be rude to Jia Shangyi, but he fell straight to the ground like that, I am afraid that it is also the credit of this talisman treasure.
He was determined to turn around and let Shi Zhong secretly torture those Taoist priests to confirm his suspicions.
He didn't covet the talisman or treasure on Jia Shangyi's body - the talisman treasure given by the Lotus Realm Fairy to the named disciple, which was something that a mortal dared to covet?! He can stand out from the brothers and ascend to the throne of God, and he is naturally a person who knows how to make trade-offs.
He just wanted to understand and find out the correct attitude towards the "people who meet immortals" and "named disciples of immortals"!
Although he was now courteous enough to this immortal man, it didn't seem to be enough!
If Jia Shangyi was a monk, Emperor Longzheng would not be so embarrassed. Sealing a title such as a national teacher, and then building a temple or something, it just costs a little money, and it couldn't be simpler.
But looking at this Jia Shangyi's daily behavior, he didn't mean to see through the red dust and develop to the world's masters, so he could only treat her with the glory and wealth of the world, but he had a headache.
It is absolutely not okay to be a princess and a county lord! Since this Jia Shang is still in the dust, he wants her to marry into the royal family!
As long as Jia Shangyi marries into the royal family, the benefit of her meeting immortals is the natural "dowry", which will naturally be brought into the royal family. If she is crowned the princess and county lord, it will be inconvenient for her to marry into the royal family! Those benefits, shouldn't they be cheaper for people with foreign surnames in vain? What's even worse is that if Jia Shangyi, who married an outsider, didn't want his children to be vassals and took away my family's country, he would have no face to see his ancestors when he died.
Of course, who will marry Jia Shangyi in the royal family, this must be carefully chosen. Those who have wives, concubines, and intercourse do not meet the basic requirements and will not be considered. Secondly, Jia Shangyi is not a person who can marry with an edict, she must marry willingly, so the person who marries her must be able to please her. The specific candidate is not in a hurry, you can choose it slowly, anyway, Jia Shangyi is still young.
So how to treat her before she marries into the royal family?
It is definitely not possible for a foreign woman, it is to reward the wives and mothers of the ministers of the court, and it is not appropriate to give them the title of unmarried daughters. The female officer in the inner life woman is a good choice to reward her, but the female officer with the highest grade is only the third grade, and it seems that the grade is a little insufficient......
Emperor Longzheng, who was very troubled by the topic of "how to treat immortal people correctly", decided to put this problem on hold for a while. Go back and think slowly, think clearly before making a decision.
He got up from his chair and stretched: "I've been sitting here for a long time, I'm a little tired!" Would Dr. Jia Shang be willing to accompany me for a walk? β
Yuan Chun bowed humbly and politely: "This is the minister's honor!" β
Emperor Longzheng was very satisfied with her attitude, and felt that this was the demeanor of a master! Contains but does not revea, and hides needles in the cotton.
He looked at Shui Xiao again and ordered: "You have just recovered from a long illness, you should not be tired, go back and rest!" You've been sick for years, don't be too anxious to recover. To treat and recuperate, listen to the instructions of Doctor Jia Shang, and don't let down her hard work. β
Shui Xiao knew that his father wanted to talk to Jia Shangyi secretly, and he retired very obediently.
Emperor Longzheng took Yuan Chun and walked in the direction of Yanqing Pond. There was only one Shi Zhong who followed them closely, and the others were far behind, unable to hear their conversation.
Along the way, Emperor Longzheng casually asked some questions that he had not asked just now, or that he had not finished asking: "If a person has a pair of wings like a bird, can he really fly?" β
"If a man has a pair of wings in the sky, he can probably fly. But the reality is: people don't have a pair of wings......"
Emperor Longzheng thought for a while: "What if there are skilled craftsmen who can create a pair of wings?" β
"Theoretically, it's possible. But the emperor thinks about it, how heavy are the birds, how much are the people? If you want to lift a person to the sky, how big and how heavy do the wings have to be made by a craftsman? How much arm strength does it take to fan such a huge and heavy wing? "Jet gods are too far ahead of their time, let's not talk about it.
Emperor Longzheng couldn't help but nodded: "This is also true!" β
While the two were talking, they had already passed through the Linfeng Shui Corridor and arrived at Liuyundu on the north side of Yanqing East Pond. From here, you can take a boat to the artificial island in the center of Yanqing Dongchi - Penglai Island.
Emperor Longzheng, Yuan Chun, and Shi Zhong got on the dragon boat together, and the eunuchs who supported the boat slowly propped the dragon boat into the Yanqing Pond.
Yuan Chun stood on the boat, and for the first time he looked at Yanqing Pond from this angle, he felt very fresh.
After arriving at the pier on Penglai Island, the three of them got off the boat together. Emperor Longzheng took Yuan Chun and Shi Zhong to Penglai Island and sat down on the Yaotai on the top of the mountain. After the eunuchs who supported the boat set up melons, fruits, tea, snacks, incense burners and other things, they all retreated and returned to the boat to wait. Shi Zhong also retreated far away, leaving Emperor Longzheng and Yuan Chun to speak alone.
"Doctor Shang said before: If a mortal wants to become an immortal, there are only two ways: one is to cultivate virtue, if there is great merit in the heavens, earth and people, there may be fate after death; The second is to work hard to explore the laws of heaven and earth......" He roughly repeated Yuan Chun's previous words, and asked, "Do I have any mistakes?" β
Yuan Chun bowed slightly: "The emperor is not mistaken. That's pretty much it. β
"In other words: if I want to become an immortal, I can only cultivate virtue?"
For this question, Yuan Chun has already thought of the answer: "Cultivating virtue is naturally a road. In addition, the emperor is the honor of the Ninety-Five, and it is unknown whether he is a god or a star. β
She's already struck the emperor today, and it's time to pat him on the back!
"Oh?" When Emperor Longzheng heard this, he couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in his heart, and he was really interested, "And this is what you say?" β
Yuan Chun smiled and replied, "Yes!" It's a pity that the minister is a mortal with the naked eye, and he has never learned the immortal law from the fairy, so it is difficult to give the emperor an exact answer. β
For this, Emperor Longzheng regretted it even more than Yuan Chun! "Yes! It's a pity that the fairy didn't teach you spells. Emperor Longzheng said with some frustration.
Yuan Chun paid attention to his face and tone, guessed his thoughts, and said: "The emperor doesn't have to be too sorry for this. No matter where the emperor comes from, cultivating virtue is beneficial. β
"Oh? If the gods and stars descend to earth, they also need to cultivate virtue? β
"Naturally." Yuan Chun said calmly, "The immortal stars are the emperor, just like the Son of Heaven sent a protΓ©gΓ© to serve as a state and county official, and when the term of office is up, it is natural to evaluate one or two." "You can't fool the emperor into not doing his job, and from then on he only concentrates on seeking immortals to visit the Tao.
Emperor Longzheng pondered for a while and felt that this statement was very reasonable.
"Then how do you cultivate virtue?"
"From the point of view of purpose: to merit the people of heaven and earth is to cultivate virtue. In terms of means, being in one's position, doing one's job, and fulfilling one's duty is the foundation of cultivating virtue. If on the foundation, there is additional merit for the people of heaven and earth, it is a cultivation of virtue. β
Emperor Longzheng asked again: "There is merit for Li Minzhen to understand." What does it mean to be meritorious in heaven and earth? β
Yuan Chun began to give Emperor Longzheng Amway's environmental awareness: "The emperor still remembers: the minister said that flowers and trees can transform turbidity into clear air? Planting more trees and cutting less trees can nourish the pure qi between heaven and earth, which means that there is merit in heaven and earth. Protecting rivers from sewage and air from turbidity and odor is also a meritorious achievement. β
Therefore, your Majesty the Emperor, please be a good environmentalist emperor who loves nature and protects the environment!
Long Zheng nodded, understanding Yuan Chun's answer. He also asked, "What is the explanation of 'in his place, in his own way, and in his own way'?" β
"To be a father is to be kind and strict, and to raise children to be successful; The children of others are filial piety and education, and strive to become successful, in order to come to support the portal. From the text, the world helps the people, and from the military to protect the territory and the people...... That's what you do! β
Emperor Longzheng automatically added in his heart: If you are a king, it is your duty to strive to create a prosperous and prosperous peaceful and prosperous world, right?
"What about cultivating Buddhism and cultivating the Tao? Can't you ascend to immortals? This was a suspicion that he hadn't thought of before.
Yuan Chun smiled and said, "Dharma, Taoism, and Dharma ministers don't understand. Danchen heard that Buddhism pays attention to compassion and merits; Taoism pays attention to respecting Taoism and virtue, and helping the world and noble life. In the final analysis, it is all about cultivating virtue. β
Emperor Longzheng was no longer speechless to refute.
After leaving Yanqingchi that day, Emperor Longzheng instructed Shi Zhong to personally torture the Taoist priests. Those Taoist priests are not hard-mouthed people, and they didn't wait for Shi Zhong to use the big punishment. The confessions of these people confirmed some of the speculations of Emperor Longzheng.
What Emperor Longzheng didn't expect was that Dong Xuzi wanted to take His Highness Seventeen today, but he actually accepted money from people and was instructed by others.
He could probably guess who was instructing Dong Xuzi, but he didn't want to investigate this matter on the surface, so he directly killed those Taoist priests!
As a monarch's father, Xiao Wall always makes his heart hurt indescribably. But as he gets older, he becomes more and more powerless, and he no longer knows how to stop the cannibalism of his children and grandchildren.
So at least on the surface, let him maintain the dignity of a heavenly flesh and blood father, son, brother, friend and brother!
As for the idiot who didn't do well in the Daolu Division, he just told him to cut himself! Not implicating his family is already my kindness!
