Chapter 355: The Fragrance of the Country (I)
- Shao Yong's house is on the bank of the Luo River, no different from the houses of ordinary people around it, and it is not a deep mansion compound - from the outside, the only difference is the blue brick path at the foot, and the green bamboo planted inside and outside the house.
In the courtyard in the green bamboo shade, is a small pavilion, the lone lamp in the pavilion is like a bean, a table, two chairs and a charcoal stove, a full set of tea sets are placed on the table, the copper kettle on the stove is boiling water, and there are two people sitting on the chair.
One is Chen Ke, who is dressed as an ordinary scholar, and the other is a middle-aged man in a square robe and a clean dust, who is Shao Yong Shao who had a relationship on the Yueyang Tower.
"Yueyang is goodbye, ten years of chΕ«n autumn, Mr. has been absent for a long time." Chen Ke said respectfully.
"Hehe," Shao Yong said with a warm smile: "The hairy boy ten years ago is now a world-famous bachelor Chen, which is really gratifying." β
"In front of Mr., Late Life Ann dares to call himself a bachelor?" Chen Ke said respectfully: "In these years, I have studied Mr. Chen's innate learning, but my qualifications are foolish, and I have never been able to get a glimpse of the true meaning. β
"Zhong Fang is too modest, this year, Shao has done nothing else, so he will read your "Annotations on the Collection of University Chapters and Sentences" and "Annotations on the Collection of Chapters and Sentences of the Mean". Shao Yong said with a smile: "The science you created, although it is an acquired science, is better than the strict system, jΔ«ng refining and practical, that is, all-encompassing and subtle, it is actually the closest to the science of a sage." He laughed and said: "A few days ago, Zhang Hengqu came over, and I told him that as soon as science came out, everyone learned it easily, and he also thought it was true. β
"Sir, I praised it." Chen Ke smiled bitterly: "Brother Hengqu is the old age of the kid, so he naturally wants to give me some face." It can't be true. β
"Hehe, don't be nervous." Shao Yong held back and smiled: "I invite you to come this time, but it is not a long one. Poured tea for Chen Ke and said, "I gave you a copper coin, is there anything else?" β
"With the addition of this one, there are three more." Chen Ke said and took out three copper coins from his sleeve, and said with a smile: "What Mr. gave me back then, and I helped the kid a lot." Thank you again sir. [.β
"It's hard work, why worry about it." Shao Yong stretched out his hand and said, "With your current status, you naturally don't need this copper coin." Give it back to me. β
Chen Ke smiled: "I still want to keep it as a souvenir." β
"Hahaha......" Shao Yong was amused, took one from his hand, and put it in his sleeve. Then he smiled and said, "Do you remember what I said to you when I was on the Yueyang Tower?" β
"Well, sir said a lot." Chen Ke pretended to be confused.
"I said at the time, sooner or later I have to count you for a hexagram!" Shao Yong narrowed his slender eyes and stared at Chen Ke tightly, just like ten years ago, and said word by word: "Because you are a person who messes with days!" β
"......" Chen Ke sighed in his heart, isn't what he is doing to change his life for the Great Song Dynasty? Holding down the waves in his heart, he smiled and said, "Heaven is constant." If you don't save for Yao, you can't mess up the days. β
"The number of days is only one aspect, it depends on the personnel." Shao Yong shook his head and said firmly: "You have to let me calculate a hexagram!" β
"How can anyone force people to tell a fortune?" Chen Ke smiled bitterly.
"Don't know what's wrong, how many dignitaries and nobles beg me to calculate a hexagram?" Shao Yong smiled coldly and said, "I won't tell you." More than ten years ago, the king of Runan asked me to tell the fortunes of his sons. One of the eight characters is Renshen, Renyin, Bingwu, and Jiaxu - push it into the number, then it is 2412 - combined into nine, dismantled into even, extremely expensive and unspeakable! β
"But thirteen?" Chen Ke said dryly.
"Not bad." Shao Yong said.
"It seems that the will of heaven is so ......" Chen Ke sighed lightly: "I should have made a plan early." β
"Not really." Shao Yong shook his head and said, "I just said it." The number of days is only one aspect. There is a Tao that is one life, two fortunes, three feng shui, four accumulation of merits and five reading. Six seven phases and eight worship gods, nine nobles and ten health. 11. Choose a career and choose a mate, and 12 tend to be auspicious to avoid evil. The innate destiny is important, but the luck is not good, the people are not ladylike, the virtue is not cultivated, and the heart is not pure, and in the end it is still a mirror. For example, Han Guangwu's elder brother Liu Xuan was also extremely expensive, so he thought that his destiny was his destiny, and he was unguarded, and finally died tragically, but his younger brother was cheapened. β
After a pause, Shao Yong said again: "What's more, his life is not too good. The noon fire is close to the body, and it is completely damaged with God. Even if you become the emperor, you can't escape the ...... of nothing and your holy life."
"What do you mean, sir?" Chen Ke had a solemn look on his face, although he had never been very interested in these mysterious things, but the other party was the most knowledgeable fortune teller in the Great Song Dynasty and even in the millennium, so he couldn't help but pay attention to it.
"I mean, a person's destiny is determined by a combination of factors. Among them, the eight characters of birth, name, feng shui, worship of gods, self-cultivation, and making friends with noble people are all very important. It doesn't mean that whoever is good will definitely be able to get things done. Shao Yong said lightly.
Chen Ke's heart moved, he somewhat understood what the other party meant, and said with a smile: "In that case, why does Mr. have to tell my fortune?" β
"If everyone in the world were like you, they would have to starve to death as a fortune teller." Shao Yong laughed and said, "Tell me your eight characters!" β
The other party has said this, and Chen Ke can only reluctantly report his eight characters.
"The eight characters are also mediocre." Shao Yong pinched his fingers and said, "You're not mistaken, right?" β
Chen Ke couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"How can you win the top prize with this kind of broken eight characters?" Shao Yongda shook his head and said, "It's unbelievable, it's unbelievable." β
"Didn't Sir say that the eight characters are only one aspect?" Chen Ke didn't have a good airway.
"Not bad." Shao Yongzheng said: "Your innate destiny is extremely ordinary, but looking at your face, you can be crowned a king......"
Chen Ke said silently: "I don't know if I will be crowned king before I am alive or after I die?" β
"Before death." Shao Yong said lightly: "So I said, you are a person who is in turmoil." β
"Crowned king during his lifetime?" Chen Ke laughed and said, "Doesn't that mean that I can recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun?" "The princes of the Song Dynasty were not as powerful as the Han Dynasty, they were just honorary titles, and they were posthumously crowned kings after the death of some important ministers, but they were crowned kings with different surnames during their lifetimes, except for Chai Zongxun and Qian Yu.
One of the two is the lord of the Later Zhou Dynasty, and the other is the king of Wu Yue, so it is equivalent to saying that the king with a different surname has not yet been crowned. However, Emperor Song Zuxun said, 'The one who recovers the sixteen states of Yanyun is the king', which is the highest reward offered by the Zhao family to recover Youyan, so Chen Ke will have this statement.
"It is not necessary that there will be excessive rewards in the future." Shao Yong laughed.
"Uh......" Chen Ke was speechless. But after thinking about it, even if it is an indiscriminate reward, the prince is still the highest title. Today's official family is not reverent, and he will definitely not be crowned king in this dynasty. If Zhao Zongshi becomes the emperor in the future, he has no hope, so he can only ...... Thinking of this, he sighed lightly and said, "The one who disturbs the destiny of heaven, is it good or bad?" β
"Huh." Shao Yong got up slowly, walked to the pavilion, and changed the topic: "Looking from here, you can see a bridge." β
Chen Ke followed and got up, and sure enough, he saw a bridge spanning the north and south of the falling water, like a sleeping dragon. At this time, the bright moon hangs high, the moonlight is sprinkled on the surface of the Luoshui River, and the waves and bridges on the river are hazy and blurry, which makes people intoxicated. Then he said softly: "Mr. has a poem 'chΕ«n look at the flowers of Los Angeles, and enjoy the moon in Tianjin in summer'." Could it be that this is Tianjin Bridge? β
"Yes." Shao Yong nodded and said: "I often go for a walk on the Tianjin Bridge with my friends, look at the moon and listen to the waves, and feel comfortable. β
"Sir, good Yaxing."
"A day not so long ago." Shao Yongmian said solemnly: "I went to Tianjin Bridge with a few close friends to admire the moon again, and just when I forgot my feelings, suddenly the wind rose, and I looked up at the sky and saw black clouds covering the moon. After a while, the cuckoo cries were heard in the clouds. Saying that, he looked at Chen Ke and said, "Have you heard the cuckoo's call?" β
"Heard it in the South." Chen Ke nodded and said, "This cuckoo bird is not as beautiful as a lark. The so-called 'cuckoo cries blood', it is said that the cuckoo chirps, and the sound is miserable, often dripping blood from the mouth. β
"Yes, that rΓ¬ sounds, it really makes people heartbreaking and miserable. Even the water of the Naluo River seemed to have a whimpering sound. Shao Yong frowned, worried: "As you said, the cuckoo is the bird of the south, Luoyang did not have it in the past, but now it flies north to Luoyang, this is a sign that the world will be chaotic!" β
"What's the explanation?" Chen Ke's heart twitched and asked in a low voice.
"In the autumn of chΕ«n, it is said that 'the six beneficial birds retreat, the robins come to the nest, and the qi makes them.'" It means that birds and the like travel before the weather, and now the cuckoo flies to the north, indicating that the earth will come from the south to the north. Shao Yong said slowly: "This is a sign that the southerners are about to gain power. If you don't believe it, in a few years, there will be southerners! β
This plain sentence, placed in the Song Dynasty period, is like a shock. Because Song Taizu has the ancestral family motto of "southerners must not be the phase", although it has never been made public, but in the hundred years since the founding of the country, I don't know how many southerners have been blocked out of the phase, and this motto is self-evident.
The only exception is Wang Qinruo of the Zhenzong Dynasty. At that time, the prime minister Wang Dan simply said: "The minister saw that the ancestral dynasty did not have a southerner to be the country, although it was said that there was no way to establish a virtuous man in ancient times, but it was necessary to be a wise man." The minister is the prime minister, and he does not dare to depress people, and this is also a public discussion. It's even more naked to make this unspoken rule public.
Although Wang Qinruo was still there, Zhenzong became the prime minister with the support of Zhenzong. But he was one of the few ministers in the Song Dynasty in the past hundred years, so the exception did not break the taboo, but made the northern scholars and doctors more resistant to the southerners.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"In less than three or five years, not only will the prime minister be a southerner, but important positions in the imperial court will also be occupied by southerners." Shao Yong said with a worried face: "This is the result of the earth's qi from south to north. β
"If the earth is from south to north, will the world be in chaos?" Chen Ke asked.
"According to the experience of the past, the world will be governed, the earth will be from the north to the south, and the chaos will be from the south to the north." Shao Yong said: "Now the south is in the south, if it is not remedied, the chaos in the world will be overwhelming." (To be continued.) If you like this work,. )
