Look at the "full paper of Tang Yan." Pai Xingli heresy! Zhu Houfu angrily photographed the New Year on the cover of "Journey to the West", and his young and handsome face was full of anger.

That night, the torrential rain finally fell, and it lasted for three days. It's only the middle of April, and the sky seems to have broken a big hole, as if it has jumped into summer. In connection with the sultry heat of the previous period, I can't help but sigh: this weather is also evil.

As a result of the heavy rain for several days, the water of the Grand Canal swelled, and for safety calculations, Zhu Hou and his party and the imperial court team with Mao Cheng were stationed in Dezhou, just waiting for the sky to clear before returning to the capital.

Unfortunately, after three days of stopping in Texas, the sky finally cleared, but the river was still turbulent. The waterways were constantly cut off, and even the 6th road was turned into mud because of this heavy rain. The team was also trapped in Shandong.

This result was a surprise to everyone. Looking at the muddy ground outside, and then looking at the roaring Grand Canal, I can only stay depressed. Soon, April of the sixteenth year of Zhengde passed in such a hurry.

The three hundred miles of the imperial court rushed back and forth between the capital and the post station in Texas day and night. The messengers and stagecoaches were tired and foaming at the mouth. Not only were the horses covered in mud, but even the people were covered in mud.

The anxiety of the cabinet can be understood, the country cannot be left without an owner for a day, the throne is empty, and the people are panicked, if Zhu Houxu does not enter Beijing as soon as possible, it is inevitable that there will be unpredictable changes. Only when the new monarch succeeds to the throne can the people's hearts settle down and the overall situation of the court be stable.

It's already May, and even if he starts now, Zhu Houxu will have to walk on the road for more than ten days. When I arrived in the capital, it was already mid-May. Next. The new monarch ascended the throne, the Daxing Emperor was buried, and the personnel of the court changed, and it was not easy to get it done in two months. Two months later, the autumn tax should be levied, and then the court expenses for the coming year should be coordinated. There are all kinds of things, and all things are concentrated in these two months, so that the cabinet and the officials of the six ministries are busy.

Not only was the capital looking forward to Zhu Houxuan's arrival, but even Mao Cheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was so anxious that the corners of his mouth were blistering, and he ran to the side of the Grand Canal all day to see the water potential, and his face was full of anxiety.

When I thought of Mao Shangshu's unsmiling Qing Shui's face, he was full of anxiety, and he didn't know why, but Zhu Houxuan was happy in his heart: People say that Mao Shangde is a gentleman, and he is the most calm, and it is really happy to see that decades of qi-nourishing kung fu have been ruined!

Zhu Houxu and the people of Xingwangfu were not in a hurry. Especially for him, a young man who has never been out of the royal city in his life, the long journey is a rare experience, although it is hard. Look at the scenery, see the millet in the fields and the pedestrians in the streets. Look at the vast blue sky of the Northland, everything is so fresh.

These days, Zhu Houxi has nothing to do, so he read the "Journey to the West" given to him by Huang Jin carefully.

In his heart, Zhu Houyan was still very curious about Sun Dan. This person has become famous in the past year, and his poems and writings have been widely circulated among scholars. Not to mention what he wrote, "a slight breeze and waves." Scatter the stars all over the lake" do not let the Tang people quatrain. It has become the most widely circulated sentence this year, and even the song he wrote about the saint "The fire tree and silver flowers never sleep" is also the repertoire of the Qinglou woman.

By the way, "Lin Chong Running at Night" he wrote is also a must-sing joke for the troupe.

Also, he is also the best-bought romance book in the bookstore.

Of course, for scholars, these are not serious words, and the eight strands of Shiwen are the foundation of scholars, so that they can see the true ability of a person.

If Sun Dan can only write this kind of Fengyue script, he is just another Tang Bohu, which is nothing.

However, Sun Dan's "Chuan Qing Collection" included in several eight-strand articles is one of the must-read texts for readers, and the articles in it are not to say word by word, and the style is very different, each text has a different style and different style, which can be written into the imperial examination textbook.

is such a character, poetry and songs. Eight articles, opera scripts, proficient in everything, can be called all-rounder.

Perhaps, this person is really another unborn genius of the Ming Dynasty after Xie Zhu and Yang Shen.

Zhu Houxu had also heard of Sun Dan's name when he was in Longqian in the An6 Domain, and he also found his article and read it, and he already admired this person very much in his heart. When he knew that Sun Dan played a key role in his own battle for succession, Zhu Houxi secretly rejoiced and was a little afraid at the same time, if this person was used by King Jianghua at the beginning, he didn't know what the situation was.

In any case, such a Zhang Liang and Chen Ping-style character is used by me, which is naturally due to my Zhu Houxu's luck and my Zhu Houxu's noble virtue.

In addition to being proud, when Zhu Houxi got this "Journey to the West", he heard that it was Sun Dan's masterpiece, so he read it with great interest.

It doesn't matter if you read this, I saw him speak viciously, and the anger in his heart couldn't hold back anymore, and suddenly burst out.

On this day, he was studying in the house, and Empress Chen and Concubine Zhang were waiting beside him. Although these two women are usually a little unhappy because of the competition for favor, but on the surface they show a group of harmony, this waste is gossiping on the side, hearing the sound of Zhu Hou's palm slapping on the book, both of them were shocked in their hearts, and hurriedly looked up.

I saw that Zhu Houxuan's face had turned iron-blue. He couldn't stop cursing.

Chop Ji hurriedly stood up: "Lord Wang, who has provoked you again." She couldn't stop smiling and gently patted her husband's vest with her hand, and said coquettishly: "Don't be angry, okay, it's your own to be angry." ”

Seeing Concubine Zhang so frivolous, a flash of anger flashed between Empress Chen's eyebrows.

"Who else can it be, naturally it is Sun Dacai's son Jingyuan." Zhu Houqi roared angrily: "This person is full of evil theories, depreciating my Taoist family to worthlessness, and infinitely elevating their Buddhism and so on. ”

Concubine Zhang: "King, this, what did Sun Jingyuan say?" ”

Zhu Houxi patted "Journey to the West" on his hand in annoyance. said: "The book he wrote, the Jade Emperor of the Three Qing Dynasty was written by him as a waste, how can he tolerate such an evil book circulating in the world after so many years of solitary cultivation." When this king succeeds to the throne, he must have issued an edict banning this book. ”

"Yes, yes, since this book has made the king so unhappy, then seize it." Concubine Zhang pretended to be annoyed: "There is." Sun Dan, who wrote this book, should also be rectified. Let him know how powerful the king is. ”

"Yes, Lone must have let him know that scribbling is wrong."

Only then did Empress Chen slowly speak: "Great King, isn't Sun Jingyuan a friend of Xiao 6, I heard that he is still the head of the 6 Qian Zhuang, and he is also the old man when the Great King Long was diving. "How. Concubine Zhang's face was disdainful: "Since he is the heart of the king, he naturally knows that the king's temperament is the most intolerant of this kind of crooked reasoning." According to the concubine, this kind of person should be cured, who told him to make the king unhappy! ”

After saying this, Concubine Zhang's eyes turned and she looked at Zhu Houxu with a flattering face: "King, look at your angry appearance." The concubine's heart is also very sad! ”

"Well, it's to cure this. Crazy life. Zhu Houxuan saw that Concubine Zhang echoed him, and his heart was open, and he nodded again and again.

Empress Chen: "King, Sun Jingyuan is the most powerful person under the king, and he can be of great use." For such talents, there should be more encirclement. ”

"Talents, the Son of Heaven has all over the world, what kind of talents do you want, and there is no one Sun Jingyuan." Concubine Zhang interjected proudly: "The concubine thinks." Such a person should have won fame, let him think about the truth of being a man. ”

Empress Chen glared at Concubine Zhang angrily: "Concubine Zhang, you are right, you are really a slut." The employment of the country and the selection of scholars by the Son of Heaven are major matters involving the country. How can you and I, as women, talk nonsense. Sun Dan is an old man of the Great King Dragon. If you don't reuse it, how do you let the people of the world look at the king? ”

Concubine Zhang was scolded by Empress Chen, tears rolled in her eyes, her lips trembled slightly, and she couldn't say anything.

Zhu Houquan frowned and said in a low voice, "Okay." Alone has its own opinions. ”

Although he knew that everything Empress Chen said made sense, he suddenly felt a little annoyed in his heart. Looking at Chen Hou's appearance, it was also a little unpleasant.

Empress Chen has a stubborn personality, and he is also a determined person. The two have been married for many years, and they don't get along well, and they often get into trouble when they don't say the right thing. Because of this, Zhu Houxu doesn't like to go to Empress Chen on weekdays. For him, a woman like Concubine Zhang who knows how to read her face and is obedient is the most suitable for him.

After such a fuss between the two female mothers, Zhu Houyan also forgot about Sun Dan's "Journey to the West", and his heart calmed down. Although there is still a vague unhappiness in my heart, I have already made a decision in my heart.

I have to admit that what Empress Chen said is very reasonable, even a hero like Sun Dan who is a dragon meritorious person is not rewarded, and it will be passed on in the future, so that the world will see him.

Of course, the book written by this man is really hateful, and it is difficult to cure him well, and it will not be able to quench the resentment in his heart.

After returning to the capital, it's a big deal to invite him to meet once, let him be a rich and idle official, and raise him. Well, it seems that Qin Tianjian still lacks a Lingtai Lang, and he is also a six-rank official. Okay, let him go there to see the celestial phenomena and count the stars, isn't he a genius, he knows astronomy and geography, let him think about the four seasons of yin and yang against the stars, and think about where his spiritual mountain is.

Thinking of this, Zhu Houxi became proud in his heart. Then he said to Empress Chen and Concubine Zhang: "Lone is also a person who knows how to repay his kindness, and Sun Dan has made such a great contribution to this king." The king is ready to reward him with a six-grade errand. ”

Chen Hou said: "King, I heard that everyone Sun Jingyuan has the talent of Zaifu, and with his talent, it stands to reason that he should enter the Hanlin Academy to observe politics." ”

Zhu Houxuan glanced at her fiercely: "You can also intervene in national affairs?" You just taught yourself to chop yourself, why did you knowingly commit it now? ”

Empress Chen was so angry that her face was flushed and she stood abruptly. It's going to be gone. At this time, Huang Jinxing rushed in: "King, the water has receded, the water has receded." ”

Concubine Zhang was greatly surprised, glanced at the stunned Empress Chen proudly, and laughed loudly: "Okay, Huang Ban, pack up immediately, I have long wanted to enter the capital, and it is not a matter of staying in Texas all the time." ”

The water finally receded, and the group could finally set off again.

But because the size of the team was too large, although it was said that it would go, it was also prepared for a day.

The next day, it was still a sunny day, the scorching sun shone on the ground, and standing on the boat, I could see a large cloud of water vapor rising faintly on the horizon.

The road is still muddy, and pedestrians take one step and slide three steps. Many porters who transported goods fell on the shore.

Concubine Zhang was originally from a large family, when had she ever seen such a situation, it was interesting to watch on the boat. I couldn't stop laughing.

"Princess, it's windy on the ship, and it's cold carefully, so let's go back to the cabin early."

A voice came, and Concubine Zhang turned her head to look. But it's Huang Jin.

He smiled and said, "It turned out to be Huang Companion, the cabin was so hot and stuffy, I was impatient to stay there all day." Hey, when I arrived in the capital and entered the palace, I would like to see such a scene in the future, I don't know when I will have to wait. Although she sighed lamentingly, Concubine Zhang still had an indescribable sense of pride and excitement between her eyebrows.

Huang Jin smiled slightly: "I heard that the princess's hometown is in Shandong, and I knew that the water would rise for so long, so it was better to go home and take a look." ”

"Yes, my hometown is in Gaotang, and it's not far from here." Concubine Zhang sighed: "Forget it, even if I have the heart to go home, they won't let me go back." The imperial court has its own system, how can it leave at will. Only when the family comes to the capital in the future, they may be able to see each other. ”

Huang Jin: "Where is the king now?" ”

Canji pouted his mouth towards the other end of the boat: "The king is being entangled by Mao Shangshu and can't get out." Mao Shangshu is so annoying, he pulls the king all day long to let him learn court etiquette. You know that, too. The king is a man who has no peace. I was a little impatient. But Lord Mao is the clan addition court etiquette at every turn, which is really annoying! ”

Huang Jin said with a smile: "The king is about to inherit the unification. Naturally, you have to learn some court etiquette, so as not to be criticized. Not only the king, but also the princess, you have to follow the old slave to learn some rules in the palace, and I hope the princess will be considerate if you offend. ”

"Fortunately, Huang accompanied you to teach us." Concubine Zhang patted her chest with her hand with a happy face: "If it were someone else, I wouldn't be impatient to listen to them say that rules and etiquette will be followed?" By the way, Huang Ban, what kind of person is that Sun Jingyuan, why did he make the king so unhappy? ”

Huang Jin was shocked and hurriedly asked what was going on.

Concubine Zhang is stupid, and she is a person who can't hide her words. He told Huang Jin what happened yesterday.

When Huang Jin heard this, he had no expression on his face, but his heart felt like a pot was boiling.

Huang Jin still admires Sun Dan's talent and ability. But because this person is so powerful, Huang Jin is very wary of him, and I don't know why, Huang Jin doesn't like Sun Dan. He didn't know where this disgust came from, anyway, he just felt uncomfortable with him.

The most important thing is that Sun Dan served Emperor Zhengde some time ago, and he had a very good relationship with the ceremonial supervisors in the palace.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, Sun Dan made such a contribution, and he will definitely be reused by the emperor in the future. With his talents, it is possible even to enter the cabinet.

As for him Huang Jin, he is an old man from the time of the emperor's dragon dive,

As far as Huang Jin himself is concerned, he is determined to be the eunuch in charge of the seal.

But there is a problem here, he Huang Jin has been sent to Xingwangfu as a companion since he was a child, he has no education, and the ink in his stomach is very limited. And the eunuchs who serve in key departments like the celebrant eunuchs who are not elites who have been instructed by famous teachers are pulled out. They are all top-notch. He Huang Jin was compared to the eunuchs with such a big straw bag, and he was compared.

According to the merit and level, the position of the eunuch in charge of the seal is most likely to fall to Bi Yun.

Bi Yun is already talented, and he has contributed a lot in this battle for succession, and he is Sun Dan's friend. In the future, if Sun Dan enters the pavilion, with his recommendation, Bi Yun will not put him Huang Jin down.

After enduring for so many years, the capital and An6 ran at both ends, and suffered so much, but in the end, they had to make wedding clothes for others, and they were under Bi Yun, which was unbearable no matter what.

This is also the reason why he Huang Jin quietly put "Journey to the West" in the hands of the prince, and this is also the reason why he kept his mouth shut in front of the prince and did not talk about Bi Yun's contributions.

Only after striking Sun Dan, Bi Yun had no foreign aid, and the position of the eunuch in charge of the seal was in his Huang Jin's bag.

Fortunately, 6 Bing is a person who has no opinions. When Huang Jin kept silent about Bi Yun's merits and kept saying bad things about Sun Dan in front of Zhu Houxuan, the little kid remained silent.

After all, Huang Jin grew up watching 6 Bing and knew his temperament very well. He Huang Jin is a colleague of 6 Bing, and Sun Dan is his friend of 6 Bing, sandwiched between them, 6 Bing will definitely choose to escape. As long as he doesn't get involved, Huang Jin naturally has a way to suppress Sun and Bi.

Listening to Concubine Zhang tell everything about what happened yesterday, Huang Jin's heart moved: Concubine Zhang is now favored, and the prince also intends to make her the queen, it seems that this Concubine Zhang is going to gain power. And this person is a scheming person, if he can form an alliance with her, wouldn't he be able to figure out the prince's mind clearly, and it will be of great benefit to me Huang Jin in the future. Huang Jin nodded: "Well, so that's the case, this Sun Jingyuan has some celebrity habits, and he is also a bit public, so he doesn't like the prince very much." Princess, after entering the capital. The palace maids and eunuchs in this palace add tens of thousands of people, and the situation inside is complicated, and it is no longer comparable to the previous Xingwang Mansion. If anything happens to you in the future, just tell the old slave. ”

Although it was stupid to chop herself, she could still understand Huang Jin's words, and she was greatly surprised: "Great, with Huang Gonggong here, I won't be bullied by others in the palace in the future." It's that Queen Chen together, it's so annoying! In addition to being happy, she took out a piece of jade from her arms and stuffed it into Huang Jin's hand: "Huang Gonggong, a little heart." ”

Huang Jin was tired in his heart, and the quality of this jade pendant was also very inferior, and he said secretly: "Concubine Zhang's head is really confused, when my old Huang is here to take refuge in you?" I don't lack any of your possessions. ”

But when people handed over everything, they couldn't help but take it, so they had to put it in their sleeves at will, and they were about to speak. Zhu Houquan and Mao Cheng walked over. He was followed by 6 Song and 6 Bing father and son.

Zhu Houzhi smiled and asked, "Huang Companion, love concubine." What are you talking about? ”

Seeing that Mao Shangshu was there, Concubine Zhang hurriedly returned to the cabin.

Huang Jin replied: "The old slave is telling the princess about the etiquette system in the palace, and the palace is not as good as the palace. ”

Mao Shangshu received it rarely: "That's exactly the truth, Your Highness, you will be able to get to the capital in more than ten days, and in the next few days, I will explain the etiquette system of the court to you together." ”

Zhu Houxu was taught by him for a while just now. I was depressed in my heart, listening to him say this. I was not convinced, and I was about to say something, when I heard a loud song from the shore:

"God does not travel outside, essence does not dissipate, and qi does not dissipate spiritual sprouts.

The five elements and four elephants enter the middle palace, why worry about Jindan not self-knotting.

There is a true chen inside and a response outside, and the eyes are full of empty flowers and snow.

A yang comes back and forth, and there is a mixed moon in it.

hurriedly started to work hard, and Jin Fengwang was far away.

Breathe luck at the entrance fire, and the blue sky splits the Hongmeng crack.

Dan grew up and roared out of the mountain, revealing the traces of meritorious service.

God is famous for his purple skills, and he ordered me to fly to the sky.

Later generations will use diligent cultivation according to this, and they will be guests of the Sanqing Dynasty. ”

This song is composed by Zhang Sanfeng (Tao Song), which is a classic masterpiece of Neidan. There were many porters and boatmen on the shore, and there was a lot of noise. But this burst of singing came clearly and powerfully from the noise, and it was heard in Zhu Hou's ears word for word.

Zhu Houxi's heart moved, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a Gao Dao person walking on the shore singing.

Although this person has a strong figure, he has a beautiful beard and wears a neat cyan robe.

The shore was already muddy, but although this person walked casually, he was as chic and calm as floating on water, and there was no mud on his feet and feet, and he looked like a fairy figure.

Zhu Houxuan firmly believed in immortal arts, and saw that this person was outstanding. Spouting fairy words, his heart was happy, and he couldn't help but let out a long howl and asked, "Which immortal is on the shore?" ”

It didn't matter if he shouted, he was anxious about Mao Shangshu next to him.

Mao Cheng's face changed greatly: "What kind of demon is coming, stop him for me!" ”

It's a pity that the guards and eunuchs on Zhu Houxi's boat are all Xingwangfu's own people, seeing that Zhu Houxu didn't say anything, 6 Song father and son and Huang Jin didn't move.

"Is the king of Xing on the ship?"

"It's this king, where did the old immortal come from and where is he going?" Zhu Houxi replied loudly.

"From where you come from, where you go." The person who came was Wang Li of Baiyunguan, and when he saw that he had found the main master, he did not hesitate, his feet floated, and he suddenly floated onto the gangplank, and he was about to get on the boat.

At this time, a few warriors on the springboard hurriedly went to stop them, but they didn't know what kind of trick Wang Li had used, they only felt that there was a flower in front of them, and the person had already arrived in front of Zhu Houxuan.

Huang Jin and the 6 fathers and sons were shocked to change color. At the same time, reach out and grab it.

6 Bing went and said, he was still old and his martial arts were not bad. As for his father 6 Song, he is the commander of the palace guards, a well-known master in Huguang, and Huang Jin's kung fu is also extremely spicy.

The three of them shot at the same time, and the shadow of the fist wind and claws covered the sky, enveloping Wang Li in it.

That Wang Li didn't fight back, and smiled slightly. A white mist poured out of his body, and the person was gone.

All three of them failed in their moves.

Zhu Houxuan was surprised in his heart. Just as he was about to speak, he was gently tapped on the shoulder.

This blow shocked him into a cold sweat, and when he looked back, it was the Taoist just now.

I don't know when, but the man has already run behind him.
