Chapter 830: Something Else
The kitchen lady didn't expect to receive such a big order in this unlucky weather, and she was very excited and wondered what kind of person was on the boat, and there was a special person to supervise the kitchen, but her own people were not allowed to probe the brain. However, he has also seen the world, and knows that the ship must be a big man, but this ship looks really shabby, except for the decoration of a dragon head on the bow, the hull is gray and white and has no external decoration, not like a special pleasure boat, but like a warship.
The cook knew that the official family led the army to recover Lin'an, and there were many new upstarts in the city, maybe it was a 'soil bun' who didn't understand the rules and drove the war boat to the lake to play, otherwise how could he not bring the cook on the boat. Although he looked down on these people in his heart, he also knew that he could rebel against these upstarts, and his business would not be good, so he also used his housekeeping skills to serve carefully. However, when I wanted to ask which big man it was, not only did they not say it, but they were reprimanded.
What made the cook feel even more strange was that the big boat was drinking and talking, and then a small boat came over, anchored on the lake not far away, and an old Taoist priest on the boat was wearing a robe but holding a rod in the rain to catch fish. So a strange situation was formed on the lake, and there was no one on the big boat, and the small boat did not approach, so they confronted each other.
The cook said, seeing that the Taoist priest had not caught any fish for a long time, and she was afraid that she was still hungry, so she packed some meat steamed buns and sent her little two to row a small boat and send them there. But the effort was not great, and Xiao Er brought the food back in its original form, but no one asked for it. When asked why, Xiao Er replied that the Taoist priest first asked if it was sent by someone from the big ship, but when he heard that it was given by the kitchen boat, he asked him to bring it back as it was.
Things got even stranger, and the cook couldn't figure out why the Taoist priest didn't eat what he sent, but preferred the big ship. But at this time, the people on the big boat were asking for wine and food, so they were busy greeting the guests on the boat, peeking to see that the small boat carrying the Taoist priest was still moored there, and it seemed that the people on the big boat were settled. And the people on the big ship still ate and drank by themselves, not to mention sending things to them, and they didn't even ask a word, and the cook couldn't help but blame those people for being stingy......
"Hehe, it seems that this Taoist priest is destined to eat!" The cook's unintentional move quickly reached Zhao Hao's ears, and he picked up a shrimp ball and put it in his mouth and said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, it seems that the Taoist priest is indeed coming for Your Majesty, do you want to do them!" Chen Dun glanced at the small boats still moored in the lake, and at this distance, they could be sunk with a ballista.
"I have nothing to do with this Taoist priest, why should I be entangled?" Zhao Yu took the telescope and looked at the lake, looking very angry, and he had never had any immortal relationship with any Taoist priests even in Qiongzhou. The biggest possibility is that he wants to have a relationship with himself, so he puts on the appearance of a supernatural person to attract his attention, but he has never been interested in this kind of person, because there were too many masters in his previous life, and the routine is the same. The final result is either notoriety and having to be 'immortal', or jailing.
"Your Majesty, these Taoist priests who have been cultivating for a long time have some methods, so it's better not to act rashly!" Yang Shilong now knows who has the final say in this world, don't look at the Queen Mother is aunt, the little emperor can make himself disappear quietly with a glance, he thought about it and said carefully.
"You have all been in Beijing, see if you know each other, what is the origin!" Zhao Yu handed the telescope to Yang Shilong and said.
"Your Majesty, the Taoist priest at the bow of the ship seems to be mentioning the Dongxiao Palace Lang Rushan, a mountain!" Yang Shilong looked at it for a while, and was a little unsure.
"Well, what Commander Yang said is right, this Taoist priest is Lang Rushan!" Ma Duanlin listened and took the telescope and looked at it again, "The Taoist priest who supports the boat should be Shen Duofu, a Taoist priest who lives in the mountain, I have seen him many years ago, and it has been going on, but his appearance has not changed much!" ”
"Since it's the two of them, then the one who strokes the piano in the cabin should be Mr. Wenxing, who calls himself a foreigner from the Third Sect, I said how to hear the sound of the piano is so familiar!" Ying Xu guessed after listening.
"Oh, what are they pestering me to do, do they also want to play the trick of the catechumens on the lake?" Zhao Hao smiled when he heard this. He knew that Dongxiao Palace was not only a symbol of advocating Taoism in the Song Dynasty, but also had a deep political significance, not just a Taoist temple.
The emperors of the Song Dynasty advocated Taoism and established many palaces inside and outside the capital. Those who are in Beijing are Beijing words, and those who are outside are outside the ancestral hall. Zhenzong ordered the prime minister Wang Danchong Yuqing to be the palace envoy, which was the beginning of the prime minister and the palace envoy. Subsequently, relatives, clans and deacons dismissed officials and stayed in Beijing, and many palace officials. Officials who are tired and unemployed also hold many positions. So the system was formed: all ministers dismissed the incumbent, ordered the management of the Taoist palace to show good gifts, and had no ministry, but borrowed the name "to eat Qilu", called "ancestral Lu".
At first, there were very few envoys to the palace, and Wang Anshi was in power during the Xining period, stipulating that the number of palace officials was unlimited, and officials above the rank of the governor could be dispatched, and stipulated that the officials of the palace and the temple were given according to different levels and the term of office. It was originally intended to purge high-ranking officials who disagreed with the new law. Later, it changed its taste, once the high-ranking officials made mistakes and were expelled, they were mostly sent to the palace to be envoys or promoted, clear and quiet, facing the wall and thinking.
However, there are still more means of punishment, which is equivalent to modern probation. Civil officials and university scholars and above, military attachés are equivalent to officials who are envoys of the festival, once they make mistakes, they can observe the after-effects, they are often sent to the palace to work part-time, and if they are not good, they can be honored at any time to be an old man. At that time, the "lifting" of Dongxiao Palace could sit on two tables of mahjong for a long time, and most of them belonged to pushing a hand to enter; Mention the part-time idle officials who can get up.
In addition, there was a tradition in the Song Dynasty that all officials who were over 60 years old and could not serve should be dismissed from the current state by themselves. Those who are not self-presenting and are specially sent by the imperial court to the palace are dethroned; However, the officials can still be treated according to the "self-Chen Gongguan" to show good gifts. Call it a good old man. After the southern crossing, it is even more interesting, when Shaoxing, the scholars were displaced, and there was no official vacancy in the imperial court, so Xu "Cheng Lang and the above power to send the palace to watch once"; There are also many candidates, and there are no official vacancies to fill, and they are also exceptionally given to the ancestral hall of Yue Temple. Therefore, this Dongxiao Palace is not only a Taoist temple dedicated to heaven and earth, but also has another universe.
During the Shaoxing period, Prime Minister Li Gang was deposed and promoted to Lingxiao Palace, and he worked part-time for thirteen years. In addition to him, there are also Xu Zhuan, a scholar of the Duanming Palace, Wang Boyan, a scholar of the Senior Palace, Zhang Jun, who has just been reinstated as a doctor of Zuo Xuanfeng who lives in Yongzhou, Liu Dazhong, a doctor of Zuozhong, Wang Shu, a doctor of Zuo Tongyi, and Zhu Shengfei, a scholar of Guanwendian University, so that Dongxiao Palace has half of the imperial court.
It can be seen that the Dongxiao Palace is not only a place for ghosts and ghosts to live, but also a place for hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Therefore, this place that looks like a place outside the square is not calm, and it still has the power to stir up the world and influence the government. And the Taoist priest who can mention the Dongxiao Palace is naturally not an idle person, and the fine channel method is not necessarily, but it must have a pair of discerning eyes that can see through people's hearts.
Zhao Yu does not believe in any religion, of course, he has not been promoted to the palace position for so many years in power, and he is not interested in Taoists, but he has no bad feelings. But today they were entangled with themselves, and it already made him unhappy. When I knew their true identity, I felt even more unhappy, pretending to be a ghost with myself, and I didn't know what invisible people were doing behind it.
However, listening to a few introductions, these three people are not idle. Lang Rushan entered Dadi Mountain since he was a child, studied the classics, and worshiped Mr. Yang Mingyi, the abbot of Dongxiao Palace, as his teacher. Mr. Yang Dazhong's master, Ling Gong, was middle-aged and blind, and served food and life tirelessly. During the Jingding period, Li Zong summoned him to the Yanxiang Pavilion of the Imperial Palace of the Imperial Palace in Beijing, and awarded him the rank of "Chief Master". However, he refused to take office in every possible way, so Li Zong had no choice but to official his father and let him return to the palace to raise some caves.
When the world heard about it, everyone praised the emperor for knowing people and being good at his duties, and Lang Rushan was modest and cautious. But Zhao Hao, who has always been black-bellied, can't help but think about it. Li Zong is half stupid, it is easier to fool, Lang Rushan is likely to show his hands and make Li Zong confused, just thinking that he has met a master, and he must be rewarded. Lang Rushan is doing everything he can at the moment, and he has to resign his wish to be honored, so that Li Zong feels that he is not only talented, but also modest and cautious, and he must be of great use. In this way, Lang Rushan used the trick of wanting to capture the old man, and got an official for his father, not to mention, he also climbed to the emperor and the court in one fell swoop, and then he also led the Beijing West Taiyi Palace and Zhejiang West Taoism.
Deng Mu is more complicated, he is known as a foreigner of the three religions, which means that he does not believe in Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, and he also fiercely criticized the ruling class, saying that they are 'the breadth of the four seas, enough for the use of one husband', 'taking the favor of others, taking what others are fighting for', and 'exhausting the wealth of the world for self-worship'. It is believed that the cause of war is that it has to be angry because of its food; Do your best, have to complain. The rebellion of men is also taken away from their food; The danger of people is also up to their best. I look forward to abolishing the division, going to the county order, listening to the world for its own chaos and safety, and fantasizing about the emergence of a society in which the monarch and the people are at peace with each other.
In Zhao Hao's view, Deng Mu was a madman and an angry youth, and as far as he knew, in the next 800 years, neither the West nor the East could realize its ideal social system. His thinking is ahead of his time, but too much, and he is no longer an idealist, but the whispering of a madman. In today's society, if people want to realize their ambitions, in addition to being officials, they can only rebel. But he never marries, he either stays at home, or he is a travel friend, and he has nothing to say, isn't it just a standard angry youth?
In addition, Zhao Yu thought that Deng Mu was still a contradiction, people said that he was indifferent to fame and fortune, traveled all over the famous mountains, but often meditated behind closed doors and had dinner once a day. After Deyou arrived at Dongxiao Palace in the first year, Taoist priest Shen Defu built a stone room for him to live in, but his plaque said that the house was empty, and plum bamboo was planted next to it. Usually he does not wear cloth clothes, only uses paper as clothes, and often goes to the Transcendental Hall to meditate, sometimes he does not go out for months. His strange behavior is really incomprehensible, but he is friendly and close to Xie Ao and Zhou Mi and others, you must know that those two people are serious Confucian scholars.
Everyone didn't know much about Shen Duofu who was holding the boat, and they only knew that he was the Taoist of Dongxiao Palace. Zhao Hao estimated that he was a soy sauce wanderer, who helped in the view, and was appreciated by Lang Rushan and accepted as a cronie, otherwise he would not let him support the boat.
has a preliminary understanding of the three of them, and Zhao Hao has some confidence in his heart. If they are really some kind of Jianghu Fangshi, you have to be a little more careful, those people are scheming, and the technique of cheating and abduction makes you unable to guard against it, and it is to take a handful and walk, and it is too late to catch it when you wake up. And these domestic people don't dare to be so unscrupulous, after all, the monk can't run away from the temple......
"Your Majesty, they can't seem to sit still!" Chen Dun suddenly said.
"Hmph, they are playing tricks in front of me, just to lure me into the hub, and we just turn a blind eye and don't hear and don't listen, and they naturally can't pretend if they don't have a chance!" Zhao Hao glanced out, only to see that the Taoist priest who was fishing had already closed the rod, and snorted coldly.
"Your Majesty, is it also fake that it floats in the air?" Ying Xu asked with a frown.
"Jing Sheng, you are also a martial arts practitioner, have you ever seen someone with high kung fu who can float in the air?" Zhao Hao asked with a smile.
"No, but it is said that cultivators can fly away when they get the Great Dao, and it is only impossible to float in the air!" Ying Xi thought about it and replied.
"Practicing martial arts is to exercise people's muscles and bones, and give full play to the potential of the human body. And with just a few so-called secret techniques and refining elixirs that don't know what, they can soar to the ground, which is tantamount to a fool's dream! Zhao Hao pouted and smiled.
"Your Majesty, but we have all seen it suspended in the air with our own eyes, is there any deception in it?" Yang Shilong still didn't believe it and questioned.
"Seeing is not believing!" Zhao Hao smiled and said, "Remove the remnants and start the boat!" When Wang De heard this, he immediately asked Xiaohuangmen to remove the dishes and chopsticks, and calculated the money for the wine and food with the kitchen boat. Zheng Yong instructed the sailors to take anchor and operate their oars to prepare for the ship.
"Noble, please go slowly, my family chief has a few words to send!" Sure enough, the boat was just about to start, and the Taoist priest who was holding the boat on the small boat over there greeted loudly.
"Your Majesty, what should I do?" Zheng Yong asked.
"Ignore them and slow down." Zhao Yu chuckled.
"Yes!" Zheng Yong gave the order, and the three ships quickly adjusted their positions and set sail in columns.
"Slow down, slow down!" Seeing this, the boat was even more anxious, and shouted as it picked up speed and leaned over.
"Hmph, look who can't hold their breath!" Zhao Hao peeked at their flustered appearance and smiled secretly.
"Noble, Poor Dao has a few words to say!" The dragon boat was not slow even if it slowed down, and the boat finally caught up, but it was still blocked by the long oar, and the old road on the bow beckoned.
"Dao Chief, are you talking to me?" Zhao Yu pretended not to understand, looked left and right, pointed back at himself and asked.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, exactly!" The old man on the bow of the ship said a trumpet, and said with a salute.
"Hehe, you're looking for the wrong person, I'm not a nobleman, just a guy on this boat!" Zhao Yu smiled and waved his hand......
