The Hanlin scholars of the Tang Dynasty were sent outside the administrative system, regardless of official rank and rank, and there was no official office, but the knowledge system was generally a prelude to entering the cabinet.

Zheng Hao was very satisfied with this disposition, but he didn't know that the emperor had already made a note in his heart for his father and son and Ling Huxuan.

Ling Hu Jian did not have a Zhongjin Shi in the entire Dazhong Dynasty, and Zheng Hao never became the prime minister.

"Zizhi Tongjian" also has a story of Zheng Hao's plot: In the tenth year of junior high school, Zheng Hao, who was then the head of the household department, wanted to be the prime minister very much. When his father Zheng Dide heard about it, he wrote a letter and said: "Wen Ru has been sentenced to the household department, and it is the year when I will die; I also heard that I wanted to ask the prime minister, and it was the day when I would die. Zheng Hao was afraid, so he asked him to change to an idle official position, and later changed to secretary and supervisor.

This story is full of loopholes and unreasonable, how could Zheng Dide write a letter to say this?

He had no reason to stop his son from paying homage to him.

This is actually also from the legend of wild history, it is the Zheng family who boasts about themselves, and the real situation is that Xuanzong does not let this son-in-law be the prime minister!

Of course, the emperor would not say it explicitly, so Zheng Hao has been kept in the dark, thinking that his father-in-law appreciates him very much, and he was still grieved when Xuanzong died, leaving the only poem that has been handed down.

As for Zheng Dide, he was released in the eighth year of junior high school and never returned to Chang'an.

The story of the Xuanjiao woman was first published in Zhang Gu's "Quiet Propaganda", and Sima Guang continued to write it in "Zizhi Tongjian".

Zhang Gu was the Jinbu Langzhong at the time, and in the last years of Dazhong, he served as the Guiguan Observation Envoy. Judging from the text, he has a close relationship with the Zheng family, but he is also a member of the student family and friend group.

The whole story chain from Xuanzong's marriage to goddaughter is suspected of being self-advocated by the Zheng family, as if the emperor insisted on marrying his daughter to the Zheng family, and after the princess married her, after the emperor's lesson, it was the dragon that coiled me and the tiger that lay down for me, honestly accepted re-education, and became a good daughter-in-law of the Zheng family!

And from Tang Xuanzong's love of writing legends and advocating himself, it can be seen that the social atmosphere at that time was that the so-called upper beam was not right and the lower beam was crooked, and they were all a group of writers who could make up stories.

Due to Zhu Wen's usurpation of the Tang Dynasty in the entire history of the late Tang Dynasty, most of the historical materials are missing, and most of the descendants are looking for truth from the wild history legends, but many of the stories are too unreasonable. Zheng obviously controlled the context of the time, leaving many articles, forming a complete boastful version.

But judging from the ups and downs of the Zheng father and son's later officialdom, at least in the Xuanzong Dynasty, although they were superficially beautiful, they were never allowed to enter the position of prime minister.

You must know that there are more than 20 prime ministers in the Xuanzong Dynasty, if this father and son are really saintly, it is impossible for them not to be prime ministers!

The turmoil in the Pony family has subsided, but Ling Fox has been beaten to bedridden.

The murderer who beat people sold two catties of wine and returned to Huayang Temple, just as Zuo Kui sent Hongrui back.

When Guo Hong saw Zuo Kui, he asked, "Why did you send someone over?" ”

Zuo Kui laughed and said: "My wailang asked someone to give it away, and also asked him to find out where Mrs. Liu lived, which made Lao Zuo Haosheng embarrassed!" ”

Liu Yanniang came over to check Hongrui's injury, and was relieved to see that she didn't hurt her muscles and bones, and said to Zuo Kui: "He wants to see his daughter, you tell him that is, but you just want to hide it from Cui's family." ”

Zuo Kui nodded in response, he carried a plate axe, and carried a part of the copper money obtained from selling peonies, very heavy, and left when he saw that everything was fine, and when he left, he glanced at Yan Niang again, and saw that he didn't notice himself at all, and sighed secretly in his heart, it seems that this beauty is only worthy of the master, and he is still amorous.

Song Huayang was in Liu Yanniang's house, looking after Hongrui's injury.

Yan Niang saw that it was getting late, and she wanted to take care of the injured Hongrui, so she asked Guo Hong and Cao Shouzhen to pick up Xiao Xuanji and go home.

Guo Hong and the two went out of Huayang Temple, and soon came to the Li Family South Park of Guozhaofang, entered through the side door, and found the row of rooms where Xiao Xuanji was studying.

Before I got to the door, I heard a loud noise, and it seemed that there were quite a few people inside.

When they went in, it turned out that Fang Zheng was talking to Yao with Fang Ding.

There are also many people crowded here in Lijia South Park, as well as some parents of children.

Guo Hong has a good ear, and he was taken aback when he heard the discussion.

I only heard Yao Shi say: "Fang Zheng, my husband has not come back, and the slave family can't afford to take care of this." ”

Fang Zheng said: "The children of each family are studying with you, and a few are missing inexplicably, and a certain family can't hide this matter, so they can only report to the county government and ask Li Mingfu to decide." ”

Guo Hong was in a hurry, so he squeezed up and asked Yao: "Where is my sister Xuanji?" ”

Yao recognized that it was the young man who came with Yan Niang in the morning, so he replied: "I lost five children today, Xuanji and Master Gong are among them, I really don't know how to explain to Yishan (Li Shangyin)!" ”

Guo Hong frowned and asked Yao, "Have any strangers been here today?" ”

"No...... Two people sent their children over, saying they wanted to see how the school was going, and then they left. ”

Fang Zheng slapped his thigh and said, "Hey, but a middle-aged couple? ”

Yao nodded.

Fang Zheng said again: "That's right, similar things have happened several times in this part of Nancheng, all of them are a couple who took their children to the school to check, and the school will lose a few children that day, and they haven't been found back until now!" ”

Isn't this collective trafficking?

Guo Hong asked Fang Zheng: "What does the government say?" ”

"Li Mingfu has gone to negotiate with the Wuling Society, but there is no result yet."

Guo Hong asked, "What will be the Five Tombs?" He also participated in the fight on the street, but he never had a chance to inquire about the origin of the Wuling Society.

He found himself asking, and the people next to him looked afraid.

Fang Zheng sighed and said: "The little brother must have come to Chang'an from other places, our Wuling Society here in Wannian County will control the East City, and many green-skinned scoundrels in the club will bully and dominate the market, extort money from small merchants, and do some things to abduct and sell women and children." ”

Guo Hong was furious when he heard this, and asked, "Then the government doesn't care?" ”

"The head of the Wuling Association is the son of a high-ranking official, and even the county order can't control it."

Guo Hong still wanted to speak, but Yao shook his head at him and said, "Little brother, go back and explain to Yan Niang, find a way to find a relationship and pay for ransom." ”

The people around him were secretive, and it seemed that the Wuling Society was very powerful, which made the people silent.

Guo Hong said to Cao Shouzhen: "Senior brother go back and tell Aunt Liu first, I'll go and investigate." ”

As soon as Cao Shouzhen returned to Huayang Guan to tell the matter, Yan Niang was in a hurry, so she hurriedly went to the back room to rummage, took out some soft and wanted to go out.

"Sister, don't worry, you have to inquire about the whereabouts of the mystery first, and then decide to stop, now people don't know where they are, and they don't know who to give it to if they have money!" Song Huayang said.

"What then?" Yan Niang has no master, and she doesn't know what to do.

Song Huayang said: "It's useless to be in a hurry, most of it is done by the Wuling Society, now it's almost curfew, let's go to Nanyuan, Li Yishan is Jingzhao Mansion to join the army, and he has a good relationship with Jingzhao Yin Lu Hongzhi, his son is also lost, this matter will fall on him!" ”

Song Huayang asked his maid to help take care of Hongrui, and said to Cao Shouzhen: "Cao Daoyou, go and inform Senior Sister Yun of this." It's almost night, be careful yourself, don't get caught by Jin Wuwei. ”

Cao Shouzhen nodded, and the figure disappeared into the flow of people.

Song Huayang and Liu Yanniang entered the Li Family South Park of Guozhaofang together and found Li Shangyin's residence.

It's very close to the school, and you can still hear the noise coming from there, and it seems that there are still parents of children who refuse to leave, looking for Yao's theory.

"Yoshiyama! Righteous Mountain! Song Huayang shouted loudly outside the courtyard gate.

Li Shangyin's wife, Wang Yanyuan, came over to open the door, and when she saw that it was Song Huayang, she cried: "Refiner, my master has been abducted, how can this be good?!" ”

Wang Yanyuan knew about the relationship between Song Huayang's sisters and Li Shangyin, but her son was lost, and she didn't bother to care about it.

"Where's Yoshiyama?"

"He's gone to Lu Mansion!"

Song Huayang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, the man he fancied was still very decisive, and he knew how to deal with it as soon as something happened.

"Okay, sister, don't panic, I heard that I lost five children, this is not a small matter, as long as Lu Fujun negotiates with the Wuling Society, I think he can get the children back."

Song Huayang accompanied Wang Yanwei to speak, and also introduced Liu Yanniang's identity.

When she heard that she was also a parent who had lost her child, Wang Yanyuan felt sympathy for each other, and told each other about Yanniang, and this conversation was a long time.

After waiting for nearly two hours, Li Shangyin hurried back, he saw Song Huayang slightly stunned, but quickly returned to normal, and said to his wife: "Don't worry, Lu Fujun has sent someone to send a letter to the head of the Wuling Society, Bai Zhengfu, with harsh wording, let him quickly find out and reply as soon as possible." ”

The two families lost their children and didn't eat dinner, Li Shangyin and his wife had no intention of keeping guests, and Song Huayang and Liu Yanniang were also smart people, so they would say goodbye immediately.

They were running into Guo Hong, who was returning, and hurriedly asked, "How is it, have you found the mystery?" ”

Guo Hong shook his head and said: "I originally suspected that Yu Zhongde was secretly making trouble with a grudge, I went to his residence just now, this guy is still recuperating from his injuries, it seems that he didn't do it." ”

Yan Niang and Song Huayang were both a little disappointed.

"But I also met a big man at his house, but he was an entourage of Zhang Wailang's family, I wanted to capture him, I didn't want this guy's martial arts to be weak, so he ran away with injuries."

Yan Niang said: "Irrelevant people don't care what he does." ”

Guo Hong asked, "What is the origin of this Wuling Society?" ”

Liu Yanniang shook her head and said: "I don't know very well, I only know that Yu Zhongde's gang are all members of the congregation, they generally operate near the East City, and they rarely come here in the South City." ”

Song Huayang also said: "I only know a rough idea, your Senior Sister Yun is familiar with the situation in Chang'an, and it is not too late for her to come over tomorrow to ask." ”

At this time, the gate of Lifang was closed, Guo Hong sent Liu Yanniang and Song Huayang to the main gate of Huayang Guan, and Cao Shouzhen was already waiting in the shadow of the big tree at the door.

He said that the notice had arrived, and Yun Xuansu said that he would come over early tomorrow morning.

The two brothers separated from Song Huayang and Liu Yanniang, and returned to Shengpingfang along the roots of the wall and the shadows of the trees on the side of the road.

At this time, there was a curfew, and there were Jinwuwei patrolling the road, although there were occasional carriages and horses, but they were all high-ranking officials and related people, and ordinary people who violated the law and were punished if they were caught.

There were also people on the road who were walking secretly in the shade of the trees like them, and they did not say a word when they saw each other, and ignored each other.

There is no Taoist temple in Shengpingfang, except for the fangmen, only Liufu is open to the street, so this creates an additional source of income for the Liufu people (gatehouse).

Although they can climb over the wall, it is not yet dark at this time, and it is too dazzling to do so.

Cao Shouzhen took out the silver money from his arms, paid the entrance fee for the two, walked into the side door with his junior brother, turned inside along the alley where the servant walked, and then came out of the back door of the cross street in the square and returned to the apartment.

Lu Yu, Lu Zhizhen and the others had already finished dinner, and when they saw that they had just come back, they asked: "Where did the two boys go to play, they came back so late, could they have found some good restaurant?" ”

Guo Hong shook his head and said, "I haven't eaten yet, Senior Sister Xuanji has lost it, we are running around, and we don't have a clue yet!" ”

Lu Zhizhen was stunned for a moment and asked, "Does Senior Sister Yun know?" ”

"Senior Brother Cao has informed her, and she will come over tomorrow morning."

Lu Yu said: "Then you have to eat quickly, now that you are living in Chang'an, many things are black, and you still need to find someone to help!" ”

Lu Zhizhen listened and thought thoughtfully.

Guo Hong and Cao Shouzhen were already hungry, so they gobbled up the leftovers, and everyone rested in peace.

Rearrange the room, one room for Lu Yu, one room for Lu Zhizhen, one room for Guo Hong and Cao Shouzhen.

Lu Yu got the wine from Guo Honggu, pulled him to close the door, and began to tell some secrets that the people of Jiedan Dao need to know.

Originally, Princess Xunyang also wanted to say it, but that day she protected Guo Hong for the night, and the next day she was making up for sleep, and then she entered Chang'an and forgot about it for a while.

Lu Yu took two sips and said, "Do you know the difference between a Jiedan Daoist and an ordinary martial arts master?" ”

Guo Hong said: "The internal force is stronger? ”

"Yes, it's not right, we wait for the Taoist priest to tie the Dan, that is, in the lower dantian or the middle dantian knot a big Dan, round like the bright moon shining on the Yellow Court, this inner Dan is as small as a mustard seed when it first grows, and it can not be seen by the inner view, after years of hard work, the inner Dan gradually becomes larger, or turns into a baby, this is the original baby, or dies at the end of life, even if the body is decayed, the inner Dan still remains in the world."

When Guo Hong heard this, he suddenly asked, "Is it like the relics of Buddhism?" ”

Lu Yu nodded and smiled: "You are really smart, you know ten things, the relics of the Buddha Gate are actually the same thing as the Inner Dan of my Daomen, but they cultivate their mouths, so most of the relics left behind are teeth or tongues, and my Daomen is an inner Dan, which is solidified in the cultivation and inheritance of the first life, called the Dan Law!" ”

Guo Hong was surprised and asked, "The Inner Dan Dan Method is actually something like a relic?" …… Can the tongue become a relic? ”

"Of course, you haven't heard the story of Kumarosh's three-inch tongue? He was cremated after his death, and his tongue turned into a relic, which was praised for a while! ”

Guo Hong is considered to have long insight, and it turns out that this is how the three-inch tongue comes from.

Lu Yu continued: "Buddhism only practices one mouth, although the teeth and tongue can be immortal, but it is still dead. We Taoist priests entered the Tao from the Inner Dan, gradually turned into babies through visualization, and then entrusted our souls to immortality through special methods. ”

Guo Hong remembered the Immortal King Jue, so he asked, "Is it something like a bug?" ”

"You're talking about Wang Xianqiao, although he is famous, he is not a great way in the end. At that time, the Shangqing sect was divided into four factions, and Wang Xianqiao's faction had the least number of people and was not widely spread, and now it must have been lost. ”

Guo Hong didn't want to mention Han Huayang's matter, so he asked: "It's not that there are only three factions, why does Senior Brother become four factions here?" ”

Lu Yu said with a smile: "You said that the three factions are also right, but one of them was later divided into two branches, one is the "Yellow Emperor Yin Fu Sutra" of the Wangwu faction, and the other is the "Mixed Yuan Yang Fu Sutra" of your Hengshan faction, these two branches are the cultivation of Kunlun jade runes, the Wangwu faction is based on Yin ~ hydration, called the Yin Fu faction, your Hengshan is calcined by Dan fire, called the Yang Fu faction, and when you go back to Hengshan and ask Liu Zhenren, you will know, the Yang Fu faction is passed on from the fire master Wang Zihua, and it is also the first-class Taoism. ”

Guo Hong said: "Kunlun jade talisman? ”

"The Kunlun talisman engraved on the Kunlun jade is the Kunlun jade talisman, which comes from the legendary Kunlun fairy ruins, and there are not many left in the world."

Guo Hong took out the blue jade zhang and asked, "Then behind this piece is the Kunlun jade talisman?" ”

Lu Yu nodded and said, "Yes, the jade talisman itself has a protective layer, but this piece was destroyed in the fight, otherwise it would have been discovered by the nearby masters, and it would not have been your turn to snatch it." ”

Guo Hong nodded, and asked again: "Senior brother, how is my Dao Sect realm divided, and what does it have to do with the handsome heroes in the five layers of martial arts?" ”

"Even if many people in the martial arts practice martial arts to the top, they will not enter the Dao for life if they do not practice the Inner Dan Dao Method. And my generation is only starting from the knot Dan, and then it is divided into Yuan Infant, Human Immortal, Earth Immortal, and Heavenly Immortal, but I have only heard the master say that I have not seen the immortal with my own eyes, and I don't know whether it is true or false. However, the family teacher said that the seven absolute masters in the world are all masters of the Yuanying realm, and have cultivated the Dao Dharma of the divine soul attack, such as the Xuanyuan Sword cultivated by Xuanyuan Ji and the secret seal cultivated by Weishan Lingyou, this kind of Dao and Buddhism are ineffective against ordinary people, and they are specially used against cultivators. ”

Guo Hong was secretly surprised, remembering that he saw Xuanyuan Ji slashing the white dragon with a lightsaber in the ancient temple, and he also understood a little, and then asked: "If I face the Seven Uniques of the Heaven and Earth after marrying the Dan, is it not as good as before?" ”

"That's right, because the two sides can only compete with force before you get married, and after you get married, the other party will attack your soul through your spiritual sense. It is very dangerous to attack with the spiritual sense, and the injured party will have a splitting headache at the lightest, and at the worst it will be like a madman, if you are facing the Seven Absolute now, they will attack with the spiritual sense will affect your mind, and achieve the goal of surrendering the army without a fight. ”

Guo Hong somewhat understood, this is the legendary coercion, making the opponent cowardly before fighting, and cowardly before fighting.

"What about Yizhen?"

"Yizhen is a little strange, when he was in Yuezhou, I attacked with the Heavenly Escape Sword, and found that this old thief didn't react at all, and when I saw it today, it seemed that he had a qi machine induction, it stands to reason that it wasn't so fast, I didn't dare to test it for fear of fraud."

Guo Hongdao: "Senior brother, the one in Yuezhou is false and true, what I saw today is true, the one you saw before is said to be his second disciple, who died in Qinglong Temple the day before yesterday." ”

"No wonder, today's righteousness seems to be also cultivated into relics, Buddhism is called the Vajra body, how to cultivate is unknown, but senior brother, my Tianyun sword method is obtained from Lushan, it is the world's first-class divine soul killing method, unless he has a Yuan Ying cultivation, he is not an opponent, and next time he encounters me."

Guo Hong: This day is the so-called sword technique to see who is pregnant?

In the future, you should be more careful when you encounter the Seven Absolute and their descendants.

"I don't think Senior Brother Lu Zhizhen has a Dan, and I'm afraid the Divine Consciousness Dao of the Hengshan School will not be able to, Senior Brother, since you have a Dan, go back to the mountain to ask Master in the future."

Guo Hong nodded, he thought in his heart that it was indeed his wife Li Feizhen, maybe he could learn a little from her first.

Lu Yu also taught Guo Hong a little method of using spiritual knowledge to identify Kunlun jade talismans, and they rested in the middle of the night.

The boy had nothing to worry about, and he slept until dawn.

In the morning, they got up to practice their own exercises, Guo Hong and Cao Shouzhen practiced fists and feet, Lu Zhizhen danced the sword alone, Lu Yu was lying on the couch in the house, still snoring, he was tired from the journey and needed to make up for sleep.

After practicing, Guo Hong shouted Lu Yu to get up, and after breakfast, he went to Huayang Temple.

Seeing Liu Yanniang and Song Huayang, Yun Xuansu had also arrived, everyone gathered, Guo Hong asked:

"What is the origin of this Five Tombs Society?"
