Chapter 337: Filial Piety

Since the cool official Hou Sizhi was killed by the rod, and Lai Junchen was demoted to the same state to join the army, the arrogance of the cool official has stagnated. The imperial court seemed to be rejuvenated, but because of the promotion of many literary scholars and low-level people, the hundred officials began to enjoy themselves, and the empress also began to enjoy themselves.

The gods were in a state of singing and dancing, and began to build palaces, temples, and so on.

After Wu Linglong married into the Doulu family, Dou Luqin was promoted to the internal history, and Dou Luxin also became the head of the city in Xiaguan. If you follow Wu Qing's words, let him start as a small soldier in the army, but the empress obviously wants to give Wu Qing a face.

On this day, Qingfeng Zhenren came to Wutong Courtyard and saw that Wu Qing was practicing spearmanship, and a smile appeared on his face, so he walked in.

Wu Qing felt that someone had come in, and when he looked back, it turned out to be the master, so he put away the gun and stood up, then put the spear back into the weapon rack, and then bowed down and said, "The apprentice has seen the master, but I don't know if the servants in the house can serve well?" ”

Qingfeng Zhenren smiled slightly, and did not answer what Wu Qing said, looked at Wu Qing and said, "I have something to give you." ”

Wu Qing hurriedly said: "Please come to the study to talk." ”

The master and apprentice went into the study and sat down at the square table. Qingfeng Zhenren looked at the neatly arranged books in the room, and couldn't help sighing: "The years are unforgiving, I don't want more than 20 years to pass, and the apprentice has grown up." ”

Wu Qing also sighed in his heart, he remembered the time when he was fighting for survival in his childhood, as if it was yesterday, it was really too fast.

However, Wu Qing could feel that Qingfeng Zhenren had something to say, so he said, "I'm afraid Master is not here to chat today." As long as the master commands, the disciples will do their best to complete it. ”

Qingfeng Zhenren shook his head. said: "The limit of the teacher is approaching, and I am here to hand over the inheritance of the teacher to you." ”

Then he took out a key and handed it to Wu Qing. Said: "There is a temple in Dunhuang, which is the place where we collect scriptures, after you go, report your name, and someone will lead you in." There are not many requirements for being a teacher, so let's cut off this door or continue it. But the treasures inside should be well preserved. Do you understand? The ninth style of "Hundred Birds and Phoenix Spear" is on the stone tablet in the place where the scriptures are hidden, you are now thirty years old, and there is still hope for a breakthrough. It's a pity that I can't see it for the teacher. ”

A sad thought flashed in Wu Qing's heart. took the key and said slowly: "Master is recuperating in the mansion, and the apprentice has not been filial piety in front of you." ”

Qingfeng Zhenren smiled: "I have traveled all over the world all my life, and I am at ease. It is useless to the country. It is not beneficial to the people, and there is limited teaching for you, but you can grow up in this way, so that the teacher is gratified, and I am also content. ”

Wu Qing's nose was sour, if it weren't for Qingfeng Zhenren to teach martial arts, he might have today's wealth, but he would never have today's strong physique. Not even the courage of today. So for Qingfeng Dao people, I am very grateful in my heart. He got up and fell to his knees. He kowtowed three times and said, "Master's kindness is difficult to repay in this life, and now the apprentice's family is rich and noble, please Master must not say something sad to make the apprentice's heart sad." ”

Qingfeng Daoren still smiled and said: "I've lived long enough for the teacher, the limit is coming, and I can see it, you don't have to be sad, you should be happy for the teacher." As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at Wu Qing, and was stunned for a moment, then said, "Disciple, your soul and body have not merged?" What's going on here? ”

Wu Qing's heart was shocked, could anyone who was about to die see this? Wu Qing asked suspiciously, "Master, what soul and body?" ”

Qingfeng Dao people were a little puzzled, and they didn't know what the reason was, but the separation of Wuqing's soul and body was obviously a sign of a dying person, so he said: "Your soul and body are not fused, this state can only appear for people who are about to die, it stands to reason that you are already dead, but why are you still alive?" ”

Wu Qing was even more shocked, could it be that the gods and ghosts said it was true? He has always been secretive about such things, and there are some things that he tries not to touch, such as the theory of soul crossing, he himself is such a person!

Now, when he was seen by the Qingfeng Dao people, he was only surprised, but he could say that he was already a dead man, so he couldn't be calm, not to mention that he couldn't leave this family anymore, such a big family, what would he be like after he died? He wasn't sure, but his wealth would be a source of trouble.

Today, Wu Qing is no longer willing to die, at least at such a young age, so he kowtows and says, "Please save me, Master." ”

Qingfeng Zhenren smiled: "Actually, when I accepted you as an apprentice, I felt a little strange, but now I can see it clearly, and I don't know why, but with Taoist techniques, plus for the teacher, you can still heal you, when you are one spirit and body, your body will be stronger, and it is estimated that martial arts will also advance by leaps and bounds." As a teacher, I hope that you can make good use of it, benefit the people, and fulfill your wishes for the teacher. ”

Wu Qing kowtowed and said: "Master is above, and the apprentice only seeks the well-being of the people in this life." ”

Qingfeng Daoren smiled slightly, and then said: "This is very good, why don't you accompany the apprentice to play a game for the teacher?" ”

Wu Qing's Go is also good, so he got up and came to the windowsill with Qingfeng Daoren. Qingfeng Daoist grabbed a few chess pieces and put them on the chessboard, spread out, and there were five. Wu Qing had six in front of him. In this way, Qingfeng real people take the black first.

While playing against each other, the two talked about the Tang Dynasty, Qingfeng Zhenren has been to the Western Regions, has been to Tianzhu, but has not been to Egypt and other places. When talking about the country of the Western Regions, Qingfeng Daoist said about the things in the daughter country, Wu Qing couldn't help but be very interested, and he was slowly guided by Qingfeng Zhenren.

But for a moment, Wu Qing slowly fell asleep, Qingfeng Zhenren sighed, stroked Wu Qing's forehead, and then helped Wu Qing up, looking at Wu Qing's open eyes, Qingfeng Zhenren stared at it deadly.

Suddenly, two rays of light burst out from Qingfeng Zhenren's eyes, burrowing into Wu Qing's eyes, Wu Qing's whole body trembled, and then calmed down. And Qingfeng Zhenren smiled, slowly sat down on the circle chair, picked up a sunspot, and put it in the position of Guan Zi. Suddenly, on the chessboard, it was like a dragon flying and a phoenix dancing, and black chess won.

Hahaha!

Qingfeng Dao people laughed three times, and then remained motionless.

When Wu Qing woke up from his deep sleep, he felt that his body seemed to be a little different. It seems to be a lot stronger, and then I know that the master is not lying, and it seems that he has healed himself.

But something didn't feel right. Then he looked at Master Qingfeng Zhenren, and saw that the real person was full of white hair, with a smile on his face, and he didn't move. Wu Qing was startled, stretched out his hand and tried his snort, and was suddenly startled. When I touched my skin again, it was already cold.

Wu Qing looked down at the chessboard. I actually lost, but I was relieved to think that Master must have been very happy before leaving. Then he fell to his knees. Kowtowed three times. Shouted, "Master! ”

Wu Qing ordered the whole house to mourn for the master Qingfeng Zhenren, and he personally wore linen and filial piety, and stopped for seven days. The hundred officials didn't know what was going on with the Wei Palace. I thought it was the death of the princess of the Jin Kingdom. The empress couldn't help but be surprised, and sent an envoy to ask, only to know that it was Wu Qing's art teacher, she exhaled a big breath, and was pleased that Wu Qing could have this filial piety, and praised Wu Qing's filial piety.

Wu Qing asked for a year of mourning for his master Qingfeng Zhenren to fulfill his filial piety, and the empress also approved. Kiyokaze Masato dies. The saddest thing is Yuwen Su'e, because Yuwen Su'e was raised by Qingfeng Zhenren. and passed on the position of the beggars, and after seven days, he almost lost a circle, which made Wu Qing feel distressed.

Three days after the spirit stopped, officials who were good friends with Wuqing came to pay respects, and some hidden figures also came to send people to mourn. On the sixth day, a dozen or so elders of the beggars' gang of prestige came to worship in the green forest.

Seven days later, Wu Qing drove the coffin of the Qingfeng Dao people out of the city with the car of the King of Wei, and was buried in Shouyang Mountain in Wuqing County.

Wu Qing's act of filial piety also made hundreds of officials mixed, and there was no shortage of attackers, but Wu Qing only published one sentence in the newspaper, "One day is a teacher and a father for life, and this king is filial piety for his father, shouldn't it?" ”

Filial piety is the most basic ethics and morality in this society, who feels that they do not abide by filial piety?

So Wu Qing married in Shouyang Mountain to keep filial piety, and his life was quiet, but it could also make him think about a lot of things, and let him calm down and recall what he had done over the years. By the way, I studied physical economics.

During the period of filial piety, you can't drink, you can't entertain, you can't do happy events, and you can't have sex, so Wuqing has a little eunuch by his side, whose name is Gao Lishi. Gao Lishi was dedicated to the empress by Li Qianli of the Li Tang clan, and was driven out of the palace by the empress not long after, and was adopted as an adopted son by the eunuch Gao Yanfu half a year ago, named Gao Lishi. Gao Yanfu often worked in the Wei Palace, and because Gao Lishi was clever and well-behaved, he recommended it to Wuqing.

At this time, Wu Qing happened to be filial piety, and it was inconvenient to take a woman, so he let this Gao Lishi serve by his side, at least someone to make tea and grind ink is also good.

"Lux, come to the pot of tea!" In the simple grass house, Wu Qing shouted.

"Yes, Your Highness!" A teenager's voice came from the courtyard.

Wu Qing was compiling the principles of science and economics, which was a very complicated task, and he asked people to search for books about the economy and money of the past dynasties from the History Museum and the Hongwen Museum for reference, although he had a certain understanding of the economy of this era over the years, there were still some invisible things that could not be seen, so he had to refer to them.

Economics involves the productive forces, policies, markets, currencies, etc. of this era, which cannot be written in a day or two, what Wuqing needs to do is only to write the basic things well, just like paving a road and building a bridge, always first to lay a good foundation, and only after the foundation can be slowly built and finally formed.

A short time later, a tall young man of five feet walked in, his face was delicate, but his eyes looked a little old, he was dressed in a clean gray and white cloth robe, and in his hand was a tray with a steaming pot of tea.

"Your Highness, the tea has been boiled."

Wu Qing looked through the books and said, "Pour a bowl, you go to the mansion today to get the clothes to be changed." Then I went to the account room to spend ten dollars to buy some delicious food in the market, have a good time, and come back tomorrow. ”

Gao Lishi is only ten years old now, and he is full of fun, if it weren't for the sudden change in his family, he would not have been castrated by Li Qianli and sent to the palace. Wu Qing heard that there was another sister who was confiscated into the workshop, and this was also Wu Qing asked him to visit his sister. Besides, he also has some secrets that he can't let Colliers know.

Gao Lishi was abnormal, so he knew that this was the king of Wei who asked him to see his sister, so he quickly kowtowed and thanked him, and happily drove the carriage to the divine capital.

After dark, after Wu Qing dressed up, he walked out of the grass house and walked towards the fireworks workshop. entered the pyrotechnic workshop and went directly to the Black Powder Research Institute.

Still a white-haired veteran, after two years of research. Lao Dao was finally able to straighten his waist in front of Wu Qing, and immediately led Wu Qing to the real room.

"Your Highness, we have made a lead and a gravel mine. And the Earthquake Thunder has also made progress. Lao Dao said with a smile as wrinkles piled up on his forehead.

Wu Qing was still expressionless, and said: "If you can make a red-clothed cannon for me, I will make you famous for eternity!" Then he added, "Let's look at the lead and the gravel mine." ”

Lao Dao didn't dare to slack off, and immediately ordered the researchers to move out two gravel mines, and Wu Qing saw that the gravel mines were the size of a basketball, so he walked forward. Grabbed with both hands, it looked like it was about twenty pounds.

"What is this gravel mine?" Wu Qing asked.

Lao Dao showed a smug smile and said, "This gravel mine has two layers. In the middle, black powder is wrapped in paper, and then a lead is inserted, and the outer layer is filled with a thumb-sized piece of gravel when the lead is ignited. Throw with a catapult. You can throw it into the enemy's city, and it can be exploded in an instant, and there is no possibility of survival within two feet. ”

Wu Qing smiled: "Well, that's good, let me see the effect, let me fry one and see it." ”

So the researchers came out of the real room with the gravel mine and came to the open space. Someone launched a small catapult, and a researcher was responsible for igniting it. One is responsible for delivery.

Wu Qing watched the gravel mine be ignited, and then put it on the arm of the catapult, and suddenly threw it out, and the gravel mine was launched, crossed an arc in the air, and landed on a small mound, and a flash of fire.

Boom!

There was a loud bang, and I saw countless gravel splashing from the burst, raising a cloud of dust, Wu Qing was still stunned, this gravel thunder actually has such a might, this world really does not lack genius, but lacks Bole who discovers genius.

Wu Qing is looking forward to the research of the earth-shaking thunder, of course, he is even more looking forward to the appearance of the red-clothed cannon, but in order to make the earth-shaking thunder into a cannon, the smelting technology needs to be raised, otherwise it will be in vain. Moreover, the improvement of iron-smelting technology has become urgent, and if you want to cast a boiler, then it is simply not possible to pass the iron-smelting technology.

In Wu Qing's vision, he hoped to see a steam engine in his lifetime, but the reality made him quite worried. The empress has been a few years, and she has not set up a prince, although the heir lives in the East Palace, it is like house arrest and has not been established as a prince. Although Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi competed for the opportunity, they also seemed to understand that the empress was unwilling to appoint them. Because the empress did not release the news, they are still working hard, hoping to get the mantle of the empress and inherit the unification of Wu and Zhou.

Now Wu Qing is eager to divide into two parts, half studying economics and half studying iron smelting technology. But that's the way it is, it's useless to rush. Fortunately, the science students of Qingxin Academy who have come out of these years have begun to enter the middle school hall and begin to see the world with new eyes. As long as it can persist, then ten years later, Da Zhou will give birth to a group of research-oriented talents.

Lao Dao was very satisfied with Wu Qing's shocked expression, so after Wu Qing came to his senses, he said, "Your Highness, how is this thunder?" ”

Wu Qing snorted coldly and said, "It's just average." ”

Lao Dao was stunned for a moment, and then understood that he couldn't be complacent, after changing from alchemy to gunpowder refining, he was a little arrogant, so he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, after the earth-shaking thunder is made, you will definitely be satisfied." ”

Wu Qing said expressionlessly: "Let's talk about it later, do it well, I will make you famous in history, the history of firearms in the Great Zhou Dynasty, there will be a heavy stroke from you!" ”

After people become rich, they will generally only go to the fame, such as Lao Dao, he spent most of his life on alchemy, and achieved nothing, after being received by Wu Qing, he no longer worries about food and clothing, and all kinds of supplies are complete, even the girls he often enjoys, so at his age, he can only go to the fame. He was content to leave a mark in history, which is why he did so much.

Lao Dao smiled all over his face and said: "They are all cultivated by His Highness, if there is no guidance from His Highness, Lao Dao will make no progress." ”

Wu Qing spent millions of dollars in the Black Powder Research Institute, and it was only now that he had achieved results, but doing this was destined to make no money, so after some encouragement, let them continue to study. He went back to the cottage.

Gao Lishi returned to Shendu in the afternoon, met Princess Taiping first, and then went to Wu Yu'er to explain the situation, and finally withdrew ten yuan in the account room and went out of the account room, but was stopped by Wu Yu'er, "Gao Lishi, wait first." ”

Gao Lishi stood as he said, then bowed and saluted, and said, "Lux has seen Lady Jade. ”

Wu Yu'er smiled: "What a good boy, this is ten pieces of money, you take it." ”

Gao Lishi was stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand and said: "Thank you, Mrs. Yu, the little one has already withdrawn ten yuan in the account room, which is enough." ”

Wu Yu'er thought for a moment and said: "This is what I gave you, you take it, this is my private money, you have no parents, in the future, you will treat this place as your home, just take it quickly." ”

Gao Lishi's tears swirled instantly, but they didn't flow out, and then he took them in his hand, heavy, and then bowed deeply, "Mrs. Xie." Then he ran out of the Wei Palace.

Gao Lishi ran very fast, and soon his tears dried, and he crossed the Tianjin bridge, and then headed towards Yunshaofu. Yunshao Mansion is the original teaching department, and the two titles are often interchanged.

At the door of the teaching department, I waited for my sister, who is now twelve years old, a delicate little beauty. Seeing his younger brother at the door, he stepped forward and hugged his younger brother and cried: "Yuan Yi, I heard that you were kicked out of the palace during this time, and I was scared to death. ”

Gao Lishi's real name is Feng Yuanyi, he held back his tears and said, "Sister doesn't have to cry like this, Yuanyi isn't it good?" Let's go, sister, let's go to North City to have fun."

Sister Feng's name is Feng Ruying, she has been well educated since she was a child, and she has learned a lot of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Yun Shao had a lot of time every day in addition to rehearsals, so he immediately agreed.

There is only one square of land in Beishi, but it is a prosperous place north of the Luo River. The siblings have been here once, so they are now familiar with the road. It was early summer, there were rock sugar gourds, popsicles, shaved ice, peach crisps, and all kinds of delicious and fun things on the street.

When Gao Lishi took out the money bag and took out Huang Cancan's copper plate, Feng Ruying was shocked and asked, "Yuan Yi, you won't steal the owner's belongings, right?" ”

Gao Lishi smiled and said, "Sister, don't worry, now I am with King Wei, and these are all rewards from King Wei." Sister, you can eat whatever you want. ”

Feng Ruying had heard of King Wei, but was not familiar with it, so she asked, "Is King Wei really so good?" ”

Gao Lishi said: "I don't know if it's good or not, anyway, King Wei never scolded me, even if I broke the white porcelain teacup that King Wei cherished, he didn't punish me." ”

Feng Ruying was taken aback, she knew that the white porcelain teacup was expensive, and it was a white porcelain teacup specially for King Wei, which was even more exquisite. "Yuan Yi, do you know how much the white porcelain teacup is?"

Gao Lishi said: "I heard the people in the house say that one will cost 10,000 yuan. The value of the whole set is even more expensive, what's wrong, sister? ”

Feng Ruying said slowly: "Yuan Yi, even if I bought Sister A, we can't afford to pay for that set of white porcelain teacups." ”

Gao Lishi still smiled: "But King Wei didn't ask me to accompany him, and said that he had long wanted to change the celadon tea cup, but it happened to be broken, so he didn't want it." ”

Feng Ruying was stunned, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong at a young age. Then the siblings rejoiced again. But they didn't realize that they had been targeted by a few ruffians. (To be continued......)
