Chapter 36 The arrogance of the Xuanmen
The best people who know the company's leaders are the drivers.
The cleaners know the structure of the White House best.
Similarly, the people who know the secrets of the Hou Mansion best are the thousands of miscellaneous servants.
Pruning branches every day, scrubbing window sills, carrying sundries, transporting vegetables and fruits, and even firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, as well as needlework, gouache and other things for thousands of people in this Hou Mansion are all done by subordinates.
Really speaking, the familiarity with the grass, trees, halls, and first floor of the Hou Mansion, the Bohai Hou, who is away for ten out of twelve months a year, is completely inferior to these subordinates who have made a living from the Hou Mansion since childhood.
Therefore, it is a good way to understand the secrets of the Hou Mansion and start with these subordinates.
Although Lin Zhengyang's son is only a son on the surface, he is pressed by the Marquis of Bohai above, and he has no real power, but fortunately, he is still a great figure for these subordinates, and he can still do it if he is ordered to go down and inquire about some information.
I don't know what Bohai Hou thinks, his serious son is not established as the heir, but a collateral son is established as the heir, but his own sister-in-law has become an illegitimate son with no name and no division······· In the past sixteen years, he has never set foot in the Hou Mansion, and Chen Hong has never heard of any news, so naturally he will not doubt his identity, this trick is really wonderful! ”
Illegitimate children are naturally not included in the family tree, in the Chen family tree, the contemporary Bohai Hou has and only one legal child, that is, Chen Hong, who is the son of the contemporary Bohai Hou.
"Mrs. Bohai Hou, she doesn't live in the mansion, and she went to the Taoist as early as ten years ago, a huge Hou Mansion, and for most of the year, only Chen Hong lives alone, and it's hard for him, he didn't grow crooked."
There is no crookedness, also because in the Hou Mansion, there are also serious teachings, all of which are led by the Great Chu Yulu, and they have the responsibility of teaching and persuading the prince, of course, it can also be regarded as surveillance in a certain sense.
The real power of the marquis with private soldiers is not so reassuring.
In order to ensure the loyalty of the next generation of people to the Great Chu, the emperors of several generations before and after the Great Chu did their best to mix sand on the mansions of the feudal princes.
There are private, and there are public, just like these instructors who are not of high rank.
This is the open intelligence officer.
Similar to the embassy of the main plane, the ambassadors assigned to the country are all open intelligence officers, responsible for collecting some open information and so on.
Thinking about this, Lin Zhengyang waved his hand, waved off a few subordinates, and sat in his seat.
"According to the law of Great Chu, Chen Hong, a son of the world, needs to go to the Hajj to the Son of Heaven when he has not yet attacked the knighthood at the age of sixteen, and every spring and summer, he needs to rush to the capital, starting from the age of sixteen."
The reason why I started at the age of sixteen is because it is not easy to go back and forth, and I am too young to travel long distances.
You must know that the capital is in the north, and the Bohai Sea is in the south, and a round trip is more than a month, twice a year, counting the time spent in the capital, almost four months are wasted.
"Hajj is an ancient system, where princes from all over the world come and go to the Son of Heaven to show their submission, carry local specialties, pay tribute to the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven rewards gold, jade, silk and other things, which is also a tributary trade that has existed in ancient times."
"The development of the Great Chu Dynasty has changed a lot, first of all, the format of tribute is specified, only some gifts need to be specified, the trade does not exist, more, or to show submission, of course, there may be reasons that I don't know."
"The current feudal monarch is no better than the vassal states in the past, even if he has private soldiers, how much can he afford to raise with only one or two county tax revenues?"
"Besides, the authority of the feudal monarch, as well as the checks and balances of local officials, and the counties and counties in various places have standing officers and soldiers, how can it be so easy for only one or two feudal monarchs to rebel?"
"There are only eighteen feudal kings of Great Chu, and they are scattered in the south and north of the world, suppressing each key point in the empire's frontiers, guarding against foreign enemies and foreign races, and there is no time to be involved in other affairs, and the meaning of Hajj may only be left to contact feelings, just like the Hajj system in the Han Dynasty, the princes and dynasties pilgrimage to the Son of Heaven, and the same is true for the sons of some small overseas countries, this process is actually of political significance."
"But I don't need to worry about this, before this time, the plan that has been planned for sixteen years should be launched, otherwise, is it really possible to let me, a pseudo-prince, go to Beijing and make a pilgrimage to the Son of Heaven?"
Lin Zhengyang smiled faintly.
Really give him this opportunity, he doesn't mind staying in the capital, and he has a good relationship with the Great Chu Tianzi, even if he kneels and licks·····
You must know that nominally, the name of the prince of the prince also needs the approval of the imperial pen of the emperor of the Great Chu before it can officially take effect.
In other words, who is the orthodox heir is the Son of Heaven who has the final say, and as long as he is still in Dachu, he must follow this rule.
Theoretically, he can't stay in the capital all the time to "pilgrimage" to the Son of Heaven, but as long as the Son of Heaven opens his mouth to stay, there are more ways to stay.
It's a big deal to live in the capital for twenty years, survive the death of the Marquis of Bohai, and then inherit the marquis directly in the capital·······
Thousands of miles away, can the Marquis of Bohai send an army to arrest him back?
Unless Bohai Hou wants his "illegitimate child" to be an illegitimate child for the rest of his life, he will never leave such a big hidden danger to his family.
"In terms of national law, I am the son of a serious legal principle, the only heir to the Marquis of Bohai, and I have long been reported to the royal family and recorded in Yousi."
"In terms of family law, I am the only descendant of the Chen family on the genealogy, registered, witnessed by the clan elders, and is ethically irrefutable."
"In terms of divine law, I am also the next heir who has been blessed by the true monarch and witnessed by the priest and witch."
Stand up, walk to the window, and look out of the study.
The sun is just right, clear waves, water pavilions, towers, white clouds and blue sky, clear sky.
"With these three constraints, as long as I don't perverse and commit heinous crimes, it is almost impossible to overthrow my inheritance······ Sixteen years later, even if I have no authority, this title is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and even the Marquis of Bohai can't really abolish my position as the son. ”
"In ancient times, once the status of the prince was granted, it was easy and impossible to abolish it, because this is the law of the country, the cornerstone of the feudal system, and violating this is equivalent to provoking one of the foundations of the rule of Great Chu, and it will inevitably usher in the wrath of thunder."
"The Marquis of Bohai can easily award this famous weapon to Chen Hong····· Now I don't even hesitate to live separately from my wife, wronged my sister-in-law to be a nameless illegitimate child·······"
"Unless I am the heir of orthodoxy, I am destined to die early, and no amount of glory can threaten the living······ He was, early in the morning, he saw me like a dead man! ”
When a man dies and the son is absent, it is time for the illegitimate child to turn right.
Originally, the "illegitimate son" was the sister-in-law of Mrs. Houfu, so he naturally turned positive, recorded it in the family tree, and then asked the true monarch to bless him, report it to the court, and get back the name that should have belonged to him······· It's just that I've been wronged for a few years.
"Therefore, if I hadn't come, Chen Hong's death would be approaching soon, even if he didn't die, most of them would have died in the eyes of outsiders, such as falling into the water and dying, choking to death while eating, falling from a horse and dying, in short, he must have been prepared for the outside world, maybe even a stand-in has been prepared·····"
Lin Zhengyang paced around the window and slowly thought:
"Of course, the violent death of the prince of Bohai Hou will inevitably alarm the imperial court, and the above will definitely send someone down to investigate, but after sixteen years of planning, I don't believe that Bohai Hou has not considered the means to deal with it, and most of the above investigations will not find anything, who would have thought that Bohai Hou would kill his only son-in-law? At least for outsiders who don't know the truth, isn't my current identity the only biological son of Bohai Hou? ”
"It's getting closer and closer to the first birthday, in the past few days, observing the life star, the light is shining day by day, I think it's not far from the destined time point, if I don't come, Chen Hong's fate catastrophe will be ········ in the near future."
"This kind of calamity is brought by fate, I can't avoid it, even if I use Qimen Dunjia to avoid it, it will be transformed into other calamities, natural disasters will not work on man-made disasters, man-made disasters will not work on the spot, it will always be encountered. The only way to crack the problem is to face the difficulties and find a glimmer of life in the calamity······ My generation of Xuanmen disciples, look down on life and death, it is precisely because of the downplay of life and death, but can repeatedly grasp the vitality, the mystery of which lies in the four words of facing difficulties. ”
Xuanmen, often regarded as a Taoist gate, is not.
Daomen is a vein of Xuanmen, and the origin of Xuanmen is even earlier than Daomen.
Xuanmen, there are various businesses such as feng shui techniques, and the most classic is the kind of "half-immortal" that sets up a fortune telling stall under the overpass.
Since ancient times, Xuanmen has been mixed between Buddhism and Taoism, and most of the business overlaps, and even the Xuanmen classics have more than ninety percent of them overlap with Taoist classics········ In the eyes of laymen, Xuanmen is equivalent to Taoism, which is actually a big mistake!
The power of the Xuanmen, the number of life, the light life and death, throughout the ages, there have been many characters who have passed through the heavens and latitudes, and there are many scattered immortals who have passed down the Taoist system.
The Guigu lineage is one of the best, and it is the source of the Xuanmen.
Even after the Chinese Dynasty, the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism suppressed the Xuanmen in every possible way, but they still could not break the Xuanmen Taoist system.
As a serious disciple of Xuanmen, Lin Zhengyang also has his own pride.
This expedition to the Alien Plane chose this identity, of course he can now take advantage of the opportunity to escape when the other party is defenseless, and even use means to kill Bohai Hou, which can naturally resolve the trouble, but he is unwilling to do so.
Not to mention that he was just an incarnation, even when his real body was facing murder in the past, he never frowned.
He is more willing to use Chen Hong's identity and Chen Hong's ability to survive this catastrophe.
"In my impression, the closest is to worship the ancestors, when worshipping the ancestors, outsiders can't enter, only a few people are present, and what to do is the most likely."
In my impression, in previous years, the ancestors were worshipped in a Zhenjun ancestral hall in the suburbs, where there was an altar, and it was the entrance to the Zhenjun Divine Domain, and the gate was closed, which was the safest.
"There is still a little time, Bohai Hou Chen Ang, let's wait and see."
