Chapter 11 The Smell of Cattle Eating
The children of the heavenly family are less kind, not to mention the princes who have opened the mansion as adults, King Pingkang has not been in the palace for eight years to accompany his father and queen mother to eat, and the happiness of ordinary people is pure luxury in the imperial family. You Qi was quietly enjoying this rare family banquet, and she could see that the wrinkles at the corners of the queen's eyes were a natural arc from the joy of her heart, and her appetite was much better than usual.
During the meal, I kept reviewing the whole thing in my heart, if it wasn't for the fact that I had just asked for the blame and fought for the initiative, I really wanted to make a situation where the Taiyuan and the Three Law Divisions were fighting, and it was the saint who was embarrassed, I am afraid that the first unlucky one would definitely be himself, and he would leave the impression that his father was ineffective. Whenever he thought of such a terrifying consequence, the dignified prince of the Shenguang Dynasty was almost used as a gunman, and inexplicably hit his father's muzzle, and You Qi couldn't help but be secretly angry with Xiao.
In fact, the word fate is heavy on cause and effect, and the sky is destined to be nothing more, but the luck changes with the fate, the luck is as shallow as the rivers, seas and lakes, the changes are uncertain but there are traces to follow, and the warlocks in the rivers and lakes do not understand the operation of the heavens and will only misinterpret and fool the world.
After You Qi returned to the palace to bathe and change clothes, he took Xiao Liu to the quiet room and carefully inquired about the affairs that happened in Taikang City during the early dynasty, including the post exchanges, especially the student debate in Mingjin Mansion and how to alarm the spicy comments of Xu Fuzi in Taiyuan, all of which were listened to word for word. At the same time, he carefully studied several of the more brilliant "Questions" and poems from the Taiyuan, Xiao Liu has followed the eldest prince since he was a child, and he knew that he could not be disturbed at this time, so he quietly withdrew after lighting a piece of sandalwood from the western country in the colorful incense burner in Boshan.
You Qi put away all entertainment, locked himself in the quiet room for an afternoon of repeated deliberation on the recent affairs inside and outside the imperial court, from the end of the early dynasty to the end of the Shulan Xuan pair began to deduce in reverse order, in the middle of his own palace to lead the decree to cooperate with the three law divisions Jin An to investigate the case, and then to the Beihu 100,000 iron cavalry to detain the military situation of the emergency, for fear of missing any detail, and finally confirmed the blindness caused by several information asymmetry, as well as the wrong judgment of the situation, although straightening out the complicated threads, but still feel vague about the future situation, Far from a strategic response. arranged for his henchmen to send Cui Yun a piece of sandalwood and a piece of Jiulong Bird's Tongue Rock Tea to Cui Yun, and then drove to Yushan Tianxin Temple with Xiao Liu.
As for how the yamen of the three law divisions review and deal with the Jin'an recital, Youqi has never been worried, nor is he in a hurry, if he has not figured out the situation before sunset tomorrow, I am afraid that this group of wine bags and rice bags will not be able to clean up by themselves.
Tianxin Temple is built at the foot of the southern foot of Yushan, Yushan is located in the western mountainous area outside Taikang City, the mountain is named after the flying feather, there is spring water in the temple and is born, such as pearl rolling, the initial is only two feet square size, the spring water gushes continuously in a hundred years, and gradually becomes a hundred zhang cold pool, even if the drought ravages the red land for thousands of miles, only the Tianxin Spring is gushing as usual, the people of Taikang City rely on it to survive, so it is famous, and because the water quality is soft to boil tea first, later generations of many literati and ink writers come here to draw spring tea, the incense of Tianxin Temple is prosperous, it is also reasonable.
Coincidentally, there was no book, and there was more than one case of Buddhism in Tianxin Spring Hantan, which caused many great monks to come to stop and preach the scriptures. After many expansions, except for the front of the Tianxin Temple, which is open to good men and women to worship the Buddha, the rest of the places are all confined. Along the right side of the Huayan Palace, the pavilions and pavilions on the mountain road are mostly the private property of the famous family, the buildings on the mountain are mostly based on the ebony wood of a hundred years, not only the structure is stable, but also the unique fragrance of the ebony wood is dedicated to repelling mosquitoes and insects, the cool breeze is on it at night in midsummer, looking up at the mystery of the universe, the literati and friends drink tea as a pair, the wind makes the moon, and looks down on the lush geography, so it is a must for Taikang.
Youqi hurried to Tianxin Temple not to drink tea and admire the moon, but to remember the proverbs of the Taoist in the temple. The Taoist who met by chance vaguely pointed out that the identity of King Pingkang was indescribable, and even pointed out that the palace was chaotic, and the main sword was killed, and proposed that nobles should be more cautious, and if they made a mistake, their heads would fall to the ground.
Although out of curiosity, the two chatted a few words, but Youqi has never been interested in this kind of Buddhism, especially the father and the emperor advocate the rule of law by etiquette, talk about rules, and understand the law of etiquette is the law of action, even the businessmen and rangers also know it.
But this trip to Jin'an, hearing the words of Old Lady Xiao, it seems that the Yin Yang Magic, Taoism, and Buddhism are highly respected, and some truths are really worth playing, thinking of this time, I can't help but drive to ask for advice.
Xiao Liu on the side of Tianxin Temple has sent a message to arrange a mountain balcony pavilion, and it is already sunset when the two meet. Life is hard, they are all red dust and bitter ferrymen, why should the road of cultivation under your feet become narrower and narrower? If you don't like each other, the avenue is three thousand, so wide, why don't you go your own way? Pang Yan thought so.
Pang Yan admitted frankly that he was not a monk, but a member of the Yin and Yang family inherited from the Spring and Autumn Period.
The two looked at each other and smiled, one side has the ambition to help the dragon, and the other side knows the talent through difficulties, although it is not a sight to behold, but at this time the two sympathize with each other, and talk about wine.
Pang Yan explained the quotations of "Corpse": "The son of the tiger and leopard, although it is not written, has the gas of eating cattle." That Xiao Jing is the eldest son of the family, and he is the bearer of the younger generation of Jin'an, and the battle of will may be easy, but the son of the tiger and leopard eats the strength of the cow, and ordinary people can fight against it? Although people have not seen it, Pang Yan's analogy is very expressive. As for the court dispute, You Qi thought about inviting Mr. back to the house, and some time to slowly consult and discuss.
only said the other side, because His Royal Highness King Pingkang did not convene Cui Yun and Mingwei to discuss again, Cui Yun was a little discouraged after waiting for the afternoon, and looked at Mingwei's eyes quite embarrassed.
In the evening, the Pingkang Palace's palace sent Western sandalwood and Jiulong Yiyan tea, but she was confused, thinking that the two of them would be friendly, even if they couldn't help, they didn't have to give such a valuable gift.
Western sandalwood is a foreign product that has crossed the sea, not only burning incense can concentrate and calm the mind, grinding into dust can be adjuvanted into the woman's rouge, the unique fragrance is mellow and soft, and gradually swept into a cosmeceutical, it is very popular among the young ladies in Taikang City, the price is expensive but always mass-produced and supplied every year, and money can still buy it.
As for the Nine Dragons Cave Tongue Rock Tea is a valuable one that money can not buy, it grows alone on the cliff on the back of the Nine Dragons Cave, the production of nine old tea trees is very limited, only dozens of catties, and it is necessary to pay tribute to the palace every year, in order to pick this tea every year, I don't know how many hard tea pickers have fallen to death every year, ten taels of gold and one or two teas are the fair price of the Nine Dragons Tongue over the years, if you encounter the cold wave insect disease disaster, I am afraid that it is not strange to fry to a hundred gold, and enjoy the emperor like an authentic emperor. This tea is so precious, if it doesn't fall into the hands of people who love tea like life, it can be regarded as a pearl covered with dust.
Cui Mingwei has been walking in the Cui Mansion all these years, and the special and embarrassing identity relationship often has to wander between the two Cui Mansions, making her think carefully and act thoughtfully. By the evening, he had gradually inquired about the dispute between the main battle and the peace faction in the temple, as well as the controversy between the civil scholars of Mingjin Building, and deduced in his heart that there was a reason for it, and saw the good signs of the fraud case of the imperial examination of the Gongyuan in the washing of Cui Hanzhang. Now that I saw the gift from His Royal Highness King Pingkang, the speculation in my heart was a little heavier. reminded Cui Yun softly: "With such a valuable gift, it's always right to ask my uncle about his old man." ”
It just so happened that Cui Shangshu returned home from a party, and when he saw the two gifts on the table, he recognized it at a glance as the best tea. Cui Yun took the fox fur from his father and handed it to the maid to put away, and said with a smile: "The gift from His Royal Highness King Pingkang is quite valuable, what kind of gift should I prepare in return?" ”
"The children can be taught." After Cui Shangshu waved his hand, he picked up the Nine Dragons Cave Tongue Rock Tea on the Eight Immortals table and walked back to the study slowly, leaving the two daughters looking at each other, the two moths stretched, and couldn't help but smile.
Mingtang was worried about Cui Hanzhang's imprisonment in Taikang in the past few days, it was difficult to sleep and eat, the tea and rice were not fragrant, and he squatted at home like ants on a hot pot. It wasn't until my sister came back and told Hanzhang that she was expected to clear her grievances, and at the same time she troubled her sister to write a letter and send it back to Qianyanzhou in Xikou quickly, otherwise the family would have to go crazy.
The Xiongwen poems released by the Taiyuan have gradually been recognized by Shilin, especially the Xikou front of Cui Hanzhang's 'horses step on Hu Chen, the sword is overflowing with the three armies' The call is getting higher and higher, and after the Mingjinlou flower girl Wanyu girl stroked the qin, it has won a lot of applause, and several poems have been spread to Jin'an, Qingyuan, and Jiahu.
At this time, the Taikang family also became more and more aware of the taste, and the imperial court seemed to have never said a word about the passionate emotions of the people, but a laissez-faire attitude.
After two more days in Taikang, Cui Mingtang was relieved after hearing the news that the Three Law Divisions had reviewed the fraud case of the imperial examination of the Gongyuan Academy, and hurried back to Jin'an to join Cui's father.
After all, Jin'an North Prison is well-known, and staying for one more day will be more dangerous. The last time I saw him, he was already dying, and if it weren't for the fact that he had spent a lot of money up and down, everyone was worried that he wouldn't be able to survive.
Since Hanzhang was imprisoned, the wails of the prisoners have resounded throughout the cell every day, so that the terrible wails echoed in Hanzhang's sleep.
Cui Hanzhang didn't know whether he was dead or alive, seeing Zuo Shiqi standing in the cell next door, he felt that he was obviously dead, and he pressed the wound on his body hard but it was all open, since he was interrupted by his father and returned to reality, he was so confused every day, which made Feng Yu suspect that he had Zuo Shiqi's disease, and he might not be able to think about it one day, and he would die headlong.
Therefore, Feng Yu persuaded Cui Hanzhang every day, telling him every bit of the imperial examination of the Jiangnan Gongyuan, Cui Hanzhang has been listening quietly like this, and his eyes are getting brighter and brighter.
"I am me, and my heart is bright." This is Cui Hanzhang's sudden emotion, after experiencing a double death catastrophe, the three of them are entangled in grievances, in this dark Jin'an North Prison, he finally woke up.
He quietly kowtowed to Zuo Shiqi, "I owe it in this life, and settle accounts in the next life." ”
turned around and kowtowed to Feng Yu again, "You and I don't owe each other."
Feng Yu, who was shocked at this moment, burst into tears, "It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive."
Since then, Cui Hanzhang has practiced the kiln and often become obsessed, without the torture, and his body has become more and more vigorous. waited until the end of the ten tricks to find that Xu Futai was standing outside the cell, Xu Futai entered the prison twice a day, Cui Hanzhang still bowed based on instinct, who would have thought that Xu Futai would also bow in return, and said:
"It has now been ascertained that Cui Hanzhang of Qianyanzhou in Xikou has nothing to do with the imperial examination fraud case, and this government came to send you out of prison, tired of your suffering, and Ning Yuan is ashamed."
Although Cui Hanzhang realized that his heart was bright, he still couldn't digest Xu Futai's words for a while, and he was stunned in place.
The jailer opened the cell with a shy smile and stepped forward to help him out of the cell, Cui Hanzhang thought after relieving himself, where is he worthy of the Lord Fuzun to visit the North Prison in person, something is abnormal, there must be a demon.
"There shouldn't be any moths in between, right?"
Once he was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, when he was leaving, Cui Hanzhang muttered in his heart.
"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, so let's get out of the cage first." Cui Hanzhang took one last look at Zuo Shiqi, who was lying there quietly, and looked at Xu Futai with a questioning face.
"The evidence of Zuo Shiqike's fraud is conclusive, and the three divisions have already been sent to the imperial court, and even the official has no right to deal with it."
Xu Futai replied clearly, and at the same time mentioned that he would be restrained, but he would not be buried until the court closed the case.
Poor Zuo Shiqi is also a stigma when he dies, I'm afraid it can only be like this, Cui Hanzhang hugged his fists again and saluted.
After sending Cui Hanzhang away, Xu Futai directly transferred the two shifts of jailers out of the North Prison after returning to the government, and afterwards found the frontier by hair, and destroyed all the files related to Cui Hanzhang, and issued a strict gag order to the officials inside and outside the government.
Out of Jin'an North Prison, Cui Hanzhang looked up at the starry sky, blinking his eyes and blinking very cutely, and he really felt reincarnated.
Cui Mingtang received the news in advance, and had been waiting outside the gate of the North Prison for a long time, when he saw his good brother walking out of the gate of the North Prison, he quickly stepped forward and hugged Cui Hanzhang, choking up with excitement:
"Let's go, go back to the inn and wash off the bad luck first."
Cui Hanzhang patted him on the back, but said: "Since I came out, it doesn't matter if I wash it or not, I want to go home and go back to my home in Qianyanzhou, Xikou." ”
The two went back to the inn and were told that Cui's father went back in a hurry after receiving an urgent letter from Xikou, and the two had to take their things and check out, and drove directly to the Qianyanzhou in Jianyang Xikou...........
