Chang'an City, East Palace Chongren Palace. Li Shimin sat in the middle of the hall, bowing his head and reviewing the recital.

Although Li Yuan is located in Li Shimin, he has no intention of moving out of the Taiji Palace. In order to show his obedience, Li Shimin still stayed in the East Palace to work.

At this time, a young Taoist priest hurriedly came from outside the hall, and he directly entered the hall and stood in front of Li Shimin.

This Taoist priest is Li Chunfeng, who is famous in history.

Li Chunfeng is a native of Qizhou, he has been intelligent and studious since childhood, well-read, proficient in poetry and songs, astronomical calendars, mathematics, etc.

In the second year of Tang Wude, Li Chunfeng was recommended by others to join the army as the secretary of Li Shimin, the king of Qin. In the first year of Zhenguan, Li Chunfeng was awarded the rank of general Shilang and served in the Taishi Bureau.

"Enlighten the saints, and the ministers have something to do." As soon as Li Chunfeng entered the hall, he bowed respectfully to Li Shimin before he opened his mouth to say something.

"Oh, Shirou is here, what's going on? Sit back and talk slowly. Li Shimin didn't raise his head, and while greeting Li Chunfeng, he worked hard to write.

"Qi Qi Sheng, at the end of last month, the minister watched the sky at night and saw that Tiankui Star and Ziwei Star were abnormal, Tiankui Star was abnormally bright, and Ziwei Star had a purple light falling in the east. The minister divined a hexagram, and the hexagram showed that in the east of Chang'an City, there may be a god who came into the world. Li Chunfeng did not sit down, but still stood in place.

"Oh? What kind of God-man is it? Why didn't you tell me until now? Li Shimin listened to Li Chunfeng's words and immediately looked up at him.

"The minister also just knew that a man of God appeared, but he did not count who. The minister calculated during the day and at night, and calculated for a month before he deduced an approximation. ”

"What's the point? What is the benefit of this god man to me and the Tang Dynasty? Li Shimin thinks about his own Tang Dynasty.

This is not surprising, because his throne was snatched, and he also wants to make some achievements as soon as possible, so that his father who was ousted from the throne will be recognized, and let the rumors in the world about him killing his brother and imprisoning his father stop spreading!

This is exactly what the minister is about to say, a purple star suddenly appeared in the east and fell in the east, and the minister didn't know whether it was a murder or a blessing, so the minister didn't dare to report it. The minister always thought that it was outside Chang'an City, but after repeated calculations, it was determined that that place should be Huayin City. ”

"Since it is in Huayin City, have you calculated whether it is east or west of the city? Or south of the city, north of the city? What is the name of this man of God? Can it be used by our court? ”

"It should be the east of the city, when the minister calculated it at that time, he inadvertently wrote a dong character, and then the result of the calculation made the minister puzzling!"

"Oh, what kind of result is puzzling to you, a master of physiognomy?"

"The saint praised it falsely, where should the minister be the master of physiognomy four words. East character, Mujiatian is east, Huayin City, there are not many surnames related to wooden characters, but the most famous is Yang. Tian Zi, because Tian Zi did not calculate a satisfactory result, Ling Chen was very puzzled. ”

"Then why did you split it into a wooden field, not a wooden day? Wouldn't that be a better explanation. ”

"In this way, Weichen also calculated, but it didn't work out later, only Mutian could calculate it. However, the word Tian is not easy to count. ”

"Tell me, what kind of algorithm are you? Let me listen, and maybe I can provide you with ideas. ”

"Thank you. The word Tian can be divided into four, ten, or two days. The first algorithm is that it could be a surname. The second algorithm is that this person was born in Tian Shenu, has a very lazy temperament, and does three days of fishing and two days of drying nets.

The third algorithm is that the five elements of Tianzi belong to fire, and there are clouds since ancient times: slash and burn. The knife is a weapon, farming, fire is food and clothing, and planting is survival. If this is the case, this is a good omen for the country and the people! ”

"Haha...... if it's the third type, it's really my blessing for the Tang Dynasty! I'm looking forward to him. ”

"Please forgive the saint, the minister does not dare to deceive the saint, the minister did not calculate the origin of this god man, and even his life cannot be calculated. And what I just said is only a part of what Chen Gang calculated. As soon as the results were obtained, the ministers rushed to play non-stop. ”

"Alright, alright! Aiqing has worked hard, you go back and calculate it carefully, what kind of god is this, and where is it coming? Calculate it for me to find out, I have a big reward. Li Shimin listened to Li Chunfeng's words, was happy for a while, and then sent Li Chunfeng away.

Because he's busy! It's so busy that I even have to count the time to go to the bathroom.

"The minister needs a hundred sergeants to go to search together, and as soon as there is news, the minister will immediately report to the saint."

"Exactly! Take my waist card......"

Li Shimin began to review the recital again. said goodbye to Li Chunfeng, just waved his hand, and was busy with his daily work again.

In the woods, Yang Yi was covered in wounds. He hugged his stomach and dodged left and right, avoiding these complicated and bumpy terrain very easily.

Behind him was a dense crowd chasing him, but it was very hard.

Yang Yi is not a brainless person, he felt that his physical strength was exhausted, so he fought and retreated. Retreating into the depths of the forest, when he accidentally found a stone cliff more than three feet high, he jumped without hesitation.

Fortunately, the grass was thick enough and he was not injured, and he got rid of the people who surrounded him.

Yang Yi ignored his injuries and desperately escaped in the tree forest. I didn't know where to run, but when it was almost dark, I fainted at the door of a farmhouse.

Yang Gongshi and the others saw that Yang Yi was fighting and retreating, knowing that this kid might want to escape, so they hurriedly arranged people to go to the front to intercept him.

The people of the Taiyuan Wang family can't spare their hands to help him because of their own little mother, Yang Gongshi is so angry. I thought: It's better to rely on yourself than to rely on the sky.

However, they didn't chase far before they lost Yang Yi's trace.

When it was dark, seeing that it was impossible to find Yang Yi, Yang Gongshi ordered to withdraw. If Yang Gongshi patiently walked another hundred steps and turned the dense woods, he would be able to come to the farmhouse where Yang Yi fell.

In Huayin City, the Yang Family Inn, Wang Yan and others have been back for five days. She stood in front of the window and looked at the light rain outside, and couldn't help but feel a little melancholy and sadness in her heart.

The Yang family still sent people to investigate Yang Yi in the countryside around the county, but this time it was not to kill, but to really find someone, and Ju said that it was the order of the ancestor of the Yang family.

On the day Wang Yan returned, the chief steward was going to order him to leave for Chang'an, so that his wedding date could be set. Wang Yan was helpless, and told Manager Diao about herself and Yang Yi as it was.

Diao Qi listened to Wang Yan's words, and collapsed at that time, the whole person was in a daze, and he didn't talk about leaving.

Because Wang Yan took a bath that night, she ran into Yang Yi coming out of the ground and was quite frightened. When he arrived in Huayin City, he fell ill, and he was sick for a month.

When her illness improved a little last month, she asked Manager Diao to take her outside the city to relax. The letter from Chang'an urged her a few times, but Wang Yan didn't take it to heart.

Although the Tang Dynasty did not attach so much importance to virgins, a woman who was about to be enjoyed by herself was given by another person on the way here, which was unbearable for any man.

It's like a proud peach, when you pick a tree, you are suddenly stared at by insects, and it's annoying to think about it!

The ancestral hall of the Yang family, the only surviving patriarch of the Yang family, is also the prince of the former family. When Emperor Wen Yang Jian saw him, he also had to call his uncle, he was ninety-four years old.

When the world was in turmoil, he, as the head and patriarch of the Yang family, was duty-bound to lead the royal family to return to their county and rebuild the prestige of the Yang family.

Later, due to his old age and frailty, his heirs died early, so he passed on the position of head of the family and patriarch to his nephew (that is, Yang Yi's father). However, within a few years, there was such a thing as fratricide and competition for the head of the family.

Due to the sudden death of Yang Yi's father, Yang Yi died inexplicably. The patriarch reluctantly appointed Yang Gongshi as the patriarch, but the position of the head of the family was not passed on to him, which meant that Yang Gongshi's character and strength needed to be investigated.

The patriarch stood in the middle of the ancestral hall, with his hands behind him, holding a rattan in his hand. He was looking at the spiritual position of his ancestors, and the deep wrinkles on his face were a little sad.

Behind him knelt three people, namely Yang Gongshi and his two butlers. On both sides of the ancestral hall and the patio outside the gate, there were hundreds of people standing in the dark, making a commotion.

"Silence!" Although the patriarch's voice was not loud, his words were loud, and as soon as the words came out, there was silence all around.

"God knows, God knows, I know, the son knows, what is the explanation?" The clan elder slowly read out the famous words of the ancestor Yang Zhen, and turned to look at Yang Gongshi, his eyes were a little cold.

This famous saying of the ancestor of the Yang family was used by later generations as the hall name of Sizhitang.

Sizhitang, from the Eastern Han Dynasty celebrity Yang Zhen. In the second year of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yang Zhen was transferred to other places to serve as Taishou, passing by Changyi, the county ordered Wang Mi to visit quietly at night (Wang Mi was recommended by Yang Zhen as an official), and brought ten catties of gold as a gift (one catty in the Eastern Han Dynasty is 250 grams, and ten catties of gold is equivalent to five catties now).

Wang Mi sent such a heavy gift, firstly, to express his gratitude to Yang Zhen for his recommendation, and secondly, he wanted to ask this old leader to take more care of him in the future.

Yang Zhen refused on the spot and said: "The old man knows the king, but the old man doesn't know the old man, why not?"

Wang Mi thought that Yang Zhen was pretending to be polite, so he said: "The ignorant one at night." ”

Yang Zhen got angry and said: "God knows, God knows, I know, Zi knows, what is ignorance?" ”

Wang Mi was very ashamed, so he had to take the gift and return in embarrassment.

The "Four Knowledges" have become a beautiful talk through the ages, and many of its descendants have taken this as their name.

"Clan Elder, I'm ...... I ......" Yang Gongshi couldn't say why.

"Say! cough cough ......" The clan elder was moved, and then there was a violent coughing sound.

"This is the famous words of the first ancestors to admonish others." Yang Gongshi Weiwei chattered, but only said one sentence and shut up.

"It's the same reason, why don't you know it when you come here?" The clan elder asked again. coughed again, and the servant on the side hurriedly patted him on the back to calm him.

Yang Gongshi and the other three knelt there trembling all over, prostrate on the ground, and didn't dare to come out. Although they are usually arrogant and domineering, they do not dare to disobey the words of the clan elders.

The ancients respected filial piety quite a lot, whether it was a good person or a bad person, contradicting their predecessors, talking back, insulting, etc., which was regarded as unfilial piety and great rebellion. At that time, it was possible to report to the police for arrest and send him to prison.

"I thought that the owner of the long house was the heir, so I agreed to let you be the patriarch, and then let you be the head of the family after observation. I didn't expect you to be such a mud that couldn't support the wall, and actually led people to besiege and kill Yang Yi, he is your nephew. Are you just exterminating humanity? Ahem, cough ......" The more the clan elder spoke, the more excited he became, and before he could finish speaking, a rapid cough sounded like a war drum.

Yang Gongshi and the three of them knelt below, their bodies trembling more and more, and they couldn't say a word. They want to say that the problem is that there are so many people at the scene, and few people know about their filth, but now it is made public. If he openly contradicts it, will he be killed by this old man's order?

"Yang Yi is also a descendant of my Yang family, since you can't tolerate him, then divide him out! Do you have any comments? The first half of the clan elder was said to Yang Gongshi and others, and the latter sentence was to look up and ask other family members.

In ancient times, families were not separated, and they chose a respected person as the patriarch to manage all aspects of the clan.

Then the eldest son of the long house is the head of the family, above the patriarch, and has the absolute right to speak internally and externally. But there are also many families where the head of the family and the patriarch serve in the same person.

"The clan elder arranges it like this, where do I have any opinions, you can arrange it." An old man about sixty years old was the first to speak.

"Yes, yes, but it's up to the clan elders to arrange." Other family members chimed in.

"I have no opinion, but the Yang family's thousand-year foundation is not all his alone." Yang Gongshi said that it is interesting, the Yang family's family property cannot be distributed to Yang Yi, so what else can Yang Yi get?

"Peep! Since this is the case, then give everything that the previous head of the family has earned from the operation to Yang Yi. The clan elder snorted angrily and glanced at the three of them.

"Clan elder, the matter of the head of the family ......" An elder of the clan stood up and asked the clan elder.

He supported Yang Gongshi and his gang, and his original intention was to intercede for Yang Gongshi. Who knew that the next sentence of the clan elder made them feel hopeless.

The clan elder didn't even look at Yang Gongshi and the others: "The people who are the heads of the family must be talented and virtuous, they are not worthy!" ”
