Chapter 133: A Fork in the Road

Don't look at Wang Shouren's official is not big, and his title is not high. But whether this person is knowledgeable or fights with soldiers, he is a rare strange person in a century. Therefore, his reputation is extremely high and his prestige is extremely high, and even Jinyiwei does not dare not give him face.

Moreover, when Wang Shouren put down King Ning's rebellion, he dealt with Jinyiwei. At that time, one of the leaders of Jinyiwei wanted to ask for a bribe, but Wang Shouren played around, he didn't ask for a tael of silver, and his reputation was ruined, and he lost his errand when he returned to the capital.

This matter spread very mysteriously in Jinyiwei, and even privately spread the words "I'd rather offend the king of Hades than offend Wang Shouren". Therefore, using Wang Shouren as a shield, the brocade guards did not dare not give face.

So, he said to Jinyiwei that Wang Shouren, the pillar of the country, suffered from cough for a long time and was ineffective, and his life was not long. I heard that the head of Yunlong Dao is quite powerful, and if he can heal the pillar of the country, we will also be considered a great achievement. Even if it can't be cured, it can be considered meritorious.

Jin Yiwei didn't say much, so he had to change the route and accompany Wang Shouren to the Balcony Palace.

At this time, Yunlong Dao said, "Marquis Guo, please speak." ”

Guo Xun said: "Please take a look, my elder brother's illness may be cured?" ”

Yunlong Dao Chang saw that Wang Shouren was sick, and he was not lightly ill, he kept coughing and coughing, and nine times out of ten it was tuberculosis. Not to mention that his medical skills are limited, at most he is at the level of You Fanglang, even if his medical skills are superb, this disease cannot be cured. But as long as there is a trace of certainty, he wants to try his luck, in case the blind cat encounters a dead mouse, as Wang Shouren's life-saving benefactor, the future will definitely be bright.

However, he is also self-aware of his medical skills. A person of Wang Shouren's status has been seen by famous doctors. Famous doctors can't see diseases well, how can he be optimistic about his Taoism? He shook his head and said, "The poor path is limited and cannot be cured!" ”

Wang Shouren is very clear about his illness, and he has been seeking medical advice for decades, but he is helpless, and he can say that he can be cured. He was already prepared in his heart, so he didn't care. What's more, he also knew that Guo Xun wanted to come to Tiantan Mountain to treat him, just under the guise of a pretense, so he was even more distracted. Listening to the words of the Cloud Dragon Dao Chief, it was like the root didn't hear it.

Guo Xun said again: "Please ask the Taoist chief to calculate, where can my elder brother's illness be cured?" ”

Yunlong Dao Chang sang the Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, closed his eyes slightly, and pinched his fingers to count. Thinking about how to fool things over, and looking inscrutable. Suddenly, he remembered an incident that happened in the city not long ago, when the imperial doctor could not cure the injury, but let a boy heal it. That kid can cure the injuries that the imperial doctors can't heal, maybe he can cure Wang Shouren's tuberculosis. Thinking of this, he opened his eyes and said, "Far away in the sky, close in front of you!" ”

Guo Xunxi said: "It's in front of you? Does the Taoist refer to the Balcony Palace, or in Wangwu Township, or in the territory of Jiyuan? ”

Daoist Yunlong smiled and said, "The Heavenly Secret must not be revealed!" Then he added, completely brushing off his responsibilities, "Everything depends on chance." When the opportunity comes, you will naturally be able to meet someone who heals Uncle Wang's injuries. When the opportunity comes, you will turn a blind eye when you stand in front of you. ”

Guo Xun turned his head and said, "Old brother, it seems that we have to stay in Jiyuan for a few more days to find the person who can cure your illness." After a pause, he said, "Don't worry, brother, I have to find out the man after digging three feet into the ground." ”

Wang Shouren smiled and said, "Let's talk about you!" ”

Guo Xun said: "Please ask the Taoist chief to calculate it for me!" ”

Yunlong Dao said: "What does Marquis Guo want to ask? ”

Guo Xun said: "Future! ”

Daoist Yunlong pinched his fingers and counted it! Who is Guo Xun? He knew it all in his heart. Hereditary marquis, undefeated after six generations, several generations of marriages with the royal family, is the capital deep-rooted, the number one wealthy family. Such a person has no future, as long as he does not commit a great sin of rebellion, why worry about the future. After a long time, he said: "Marquis Guo's future is fine!" ”

Guo Xun's heart was suddenly relieved, but he had to say no hindrance, and it was difficult to understand the itch in his heart, and said: "Can the Taoist chief say a word or two." ”

Daoist Yunlong raised a finger and said, "Now, there is a fork in the road in front of Hou Ye. One left and one right, one-to-one wrong. If you go right, Hou Ye has a bright future, and it is not a problem to be a prince. If you make a mistake, it doesn't matter, but you can't go any further, and you still be a marquis. ”

Guo Xun and Wang Shouren glanced at each other, knowing what kind of road the Yunlong Daoist was talking about.

After the death of Emperor Zhengde, because he had no heirs, under the mediation of Yang Tinghe, the son of King Xing, inherited the unification and became Emperor Jiajing. Soon after Jiajing ascended the throne, he wanted to crown his biological father King Xing as Emperor Xing. But the courtiers led by Yang Tinghe were unwilling, thinking that Jiajing's throne was obtained from Zhengde, so they had to respect Zhengde as their father and call King Xing their uncle. If King Fengxing is the emperor and calls him the emperor's father, what should he call Zhengde? Isn't it unclear that the throne has come from nowhere?

Yang Tinghe was an important minister of the Four Dynasties, and his protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials were everywhere in the court, and his influence was great. He did not agree with the emperor's holy will, and the court was full of opposition. Mao Cheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, even said, "Those who disagree are treacherous and should be beheaded." The cruel words came.

Emperor Jiajing was lonely, and there was no one in the court who responded to him, so he had to stop mentioning the matter of Feng's biological father as Emperor Xing. And that's the end of it. Who knows, not long ago, Zhang Xuan, a new science and technology scholar, suddenly wrote a book, refuting Yang Tinghe and others in a reasonable and restrained manner, and the emperor should crown his biological father as the emperor of Xingxian.

Emperor Jiajing saw that someone responded, and immediately issued an order for officials of all sizes to discuss the matter. Suddenly, the court was divided into two factions. One faction, led by Yang Tinghe, felt that Jiajing's sealing of his biological father as emperor was against the great gift and would shake the country's foundation, so he resolutely disagreed. One faction supports Zhang Xuan's point of view, believing that the emperor's appointment of his biological father as emperor is in line with the great gift and will not shake the country's foundation.

Guo Xun understood that what Daoist Yunlong was referring to, the fork in the road in front of him, should refer to this matter. When he returned to the capital this time, the first major thing was that all forces came to him, asking him to decide whether to support Yang Tinghe and his faction or Zhang Xuan's faction.

Yunlong Daoist has said very clearly, if he chooses the right one, he will be able to go to the next level, from a marquis to a duke, and in the future, others will no longer call him a marquis but a duke. If you choose the wrong one, it's not a big deal, it's just that you can't become a national prince.

Of course, he wanted to go one step further and change from a marquis to a prince. So he closed his eyes and pondered, thinking about which faction he should support.

Judging by the news published in the newspaper.

Yang Tinghe's statement is right, Emperor Jiajing's throne is derived from Emperor Zhengde, and it is a small sect that enters a large sect, and of course Emperor Zhengde must be respected as his father. Otherwise, if the name of this throne is not right, how can the people of the world be convinced?

Zhang Xuan's faction seems to be right, Emperor Jiajing did not succeed Emperor Zhengde to Emperor Zhengde during his lifetime, but after Emperor Zhengde died, he won the throne. Therefore, Emperor Jiajing inherited the imperial system rather than the imperial heir, so there is no need to call Emperor Zhengde his father, and he can also crown his own father as Emperor Xingxian.

The two factions have their own reasons, Guo Xun really doesn't know whether to support the faction, but he has to choose a side. Which of the two factions is more reasonable? Only by choosing the most reasonable faction can it be possible to go further.

All of a sudden, it's hard to choose.

He thought that Wang Shouren had just come out of the capital, and he was a person with university questions, so he probably could show him a clear way. Just as he was about to ask, he suddenly heard a broken cry from the big tree at the small door: "What person! ”

Wang Shouren has been on the battlefield for a long time, Guo Xun is the governor of Liangguang, and Yunlong Daoist is a master of the Tao, and the three of them were not surprised by this shout, but they couldn't help but turn their heads to look.

I saw a black shadow flying from the big tree, and rushed towards a black shadow that suddenly appeared at the small door. The two of them only exchanged hands, and the black shadow that appeared at the small door was held by the black shadow that swept down from the big tree.

Seeing that the black shadow swept down from the big tree was about to escort the black shadow away, Wang Shouren said loudly: "Bring it over for questioning!" ”

The two black shadows arrived at the small pavilion one after the other, and by the candlelight from the angry wind lamp hanging in the corner of the pavilion, it could be seen that the black shadow of the detained person was Wang Shouren's guard, and the one who was detained was Li Feibai, the commander of Jiyuan County.
