At the beginning of the Han Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the country was governed by Taoist thought, so that the people could break away from the harsh government of the previous dynasty and a period of war, and they could breathe

It has lasted for nearly 20 years until he ascended the throne today, and even strictly speaking, there are still many scruples about acting now, and he does not dare to spend a lot of money and manpower.

Governing the country and pursuing Taoist ideology will naturally have special respect for Taoist religion.

And Qin Xun came to think about it for a while, speculating that when the Great Qi was prosperous, the Buddha would gradually recover in the territory of Great Qi, and the Tao would no longer adapt to the situation of the dynasty at that time. Of course, maybe he Qin Xun will not live to that time, and the development of the DPRK has never been effective overnight.

Crossing the river is actually still in Jinling, and you have to change to a carriage until you pass through the city gate at the junction with Guangling, which is considered to be the boundary of Guangling, Qi Jing does not have to supervise Guangling this time, and he did not notify the local officials when he came to Guangling, and he did not plan to stay in the Guangling Post House, and went straight to the Guangling School where his husband lived, and planned to visit and stay overnight in the empty student dormitory with the son of Guangling.

With Xi Guangling, they have always been polite and never too polite.

In the Guangling Academy, I met an acquaintance again, but this time I didn't bring my pair of little teachers and nephews, Qin Xun thought about it, wasn't this one Taoist in charge of Jinling Zhongshan Temple under the orders of the teacher, and was the Taoist Temple very idle? Why does he always have time to run to the son of Guangling.

One could guess what he was muttering in his heart, and said with a slight smile: "When Guangling's heart is depressed, he is often happy to live in Guanzhong for a few days, and dispel his worries. ”

Qin Xun hurriedly smiled and saluted, and talked about the side.

It is normal for Xi Guangling to be depressed when he is far away from the court, it is inevitable to see killings when he goes in and out of the sect, Xi Guangling is a person like him, and it is strange that he can feel comfortable when he sees more of this kind of thing.

But according to this, a few days ago, Xi Guangling has been living in Jinling Zhongshan Temple? When Chu Ci fled back to Guangling in a hurry, how did he tell them that Gongzi Guangling was too busy recently, and he came back to help? Wait, why do you unconsciously use the word "escape......

Qin Xun touched his chin and nodded, thinking that Chu Changqin really had a problem this time.

Qi Jing patted him on the shoulder: "What do you think, Gongzi called us to lunch." Seeing Qin Xun's face change, he smiled again, "Today, there is no naughty little Taoist boy, and the dishes are all avoided with coriander, don't look like a big enemy." ”

There were a total of five people at the dinner table, except for Qi Jing and Qin Xun, who happened to come to the door at lunch time today, the other three were Xi Guangling, the head of the Taoist Unity Road, and Qin Xun muttered "There is a problem" in his heart.

Chu Ci was made uncomfortable by his frequent glances, and silently asked him what he wanted to do with his eyes, Qin Xun smiled, and took half a duck head with chopsticks and gave it to him: "I bought it for you, gnaw it, you don't have to care about the image." ”

He bought the duck head of the roast duck, and the duck head of the salted duck will have fat skin on it, which is easy to get tired of eating, and it is not as crispy as the skin of the duck head of the roast duck and chews fragrantly.

Chu Ci was even more uncomfortable when he saw the duck head, Qin Xun thought that he was still taking care of the indecent image of gnawing the duck head in front of people, and he didn't urge him to eat it now, he ate his own food by himself, and just sent a ball of rice to the mouth, Chu Ci suddenly asked him: "Do you like to eat duck brains?" ”

Qin Xun was stunned for a moment, chewed and swallowed the rice in his mouth: "It's okay, I don't particularly like to eat it, but the taste is still good, I will definitely eat it for me." He watched Chu Ci pick out the white duck brain in the half of the duck's head with the tip of the chopsticks, and added, "But I won't eat other people's chopsticks for me, I've been with this person for a long time, and I've been infected with cleanliness." He poked Qi Jing's elbow.

Chu Ci lifted his eyelids and glanced at him, obviously saying that he was "self-inflicted", and sipped a ball of duck brains on the tip of the chopsticks himself.

After the meal, the prince of Guangling chatted with them and made Zhongshan Yunwu tea given by the elders of the same way to entertain them. This is the famous tea produced at the southern foot of Zhongshan in Jinling, the wild tea tree grows in the high mountains surrounded by clouds, and it is to be picked when the clouds and mist are thick, so that the cloud tea picked is soaked into the cup, there will be wonderful clouds and mist, and it is precisely because the place where the cloud tea tea tree grows is high into the clouds, even if it is a person who practices martial arts, the picking ability is also very limited, so this tea is precious. The prince of Guangling has always been thrifty, but he has never been stingy with money in the three things of piano, books and tea, and Yunwu tea is produced in Zhongshan of Jinling, and the head of the Taoist will always bring it to him to give it to him, thanking him for taking care of his pair of naughty dragon and phoenix fetuses and nephews when he is busy.

Xi Guangling smiled and said warmly while making tea: "It's a pity that I use ordinary drinking water here, if it is in the unity place, make tea with the spring water of eight merits, that is the best taste." ”

Qi Jing took the teacup with both hands: "Childe is polite." ”

After lunch, Chu Ci said that he went back to the dormitory to rest, this time Qin Xun came to find Xi Guangling without anything, he and Qi Jing were purely out of respect, one day as a teacher and a lifelong father, and when passing through Jiangnan, he visited his old Mr. by the way, to put it bluntly, he came to rub a few meals of Guangling Gongzi, and when he saw them chatting, he borrowed a word and came out of the house, and went straight to the student dormitory to find Chu Ci.

On the way, I met many students who had just returned to their rooms for lunch in the canteen, Qin Xun even heard a familiar name from their conversations in groups of three or two-Tian Shuyan, I thought that with Tian Shuyan's bad reputation for stealing chickens and dogs in the Guangling Academy, he would hear some small gossip and small rumors from the words of these students, who knew that most of the students actually expressed admiration and envy for the current champion of Wenju.

Qin Xun was looking for Chu Ci in the pond pavilion of the pond of the Guangling Academy, he stepped forward and patted Chu Ci on the shoulder, sat down beside him, and cocked Erlang's legs without any manners: "I knew that you didn't go back to the room to take a nap, what's the matter, do you have something on your mind?" Tell me about it? He glanced sideways at the Bihe Fan Duo who had spread a small half of the pond outside the pavilion, and said with a smile, "Why is every school hall equipped with such a pond as standard, and there are also those in Pingzhou, next time I will ask Shen Baizhou if the Jinling School Museum also has it, this is to make us students cool down in the summer too hot?" ”

Chu Ci looked at him coldly: "You save it, you made such a big fuss with Chu Shenxing back then, and the pond in the Pingzhou School Hall is still cool?" ”

Qin Xun laughed: "I really don't know this, there are more than a dozen flutters down, but I haven't touched the pond water, so if you want to know, you have to ask them about the dozen." ”

Chu Ci ignored him.

Qin Xun sighed faintly: "Think about it, being cautious by Chu."

The scene of his mother pointing her nose and scolding the male vixen is still in front of her, and it has only been a long time before I heard that the person is gone. ”

"You are guilty, shouldn't you have teased her like that that day?"

"How can I be like such a conscientious person?" Qin Xun turned his head to look at him and smiled, "It's just that the person is gone, there is always a little sigh, how many people are born every day in this world, and how many people die, no one who has no relatives and no reason will not fluctuate in their hearts, and once the news of the death of their old person suddenly comes, they will always think unconsciously, once a living, flesh and blood person with temperature, standing in front of you, will change his expression to look at you, talk to you, and make movements towards you, and suddenly say that it is gone, and there is no such person in this world from now on, Whether it's sad because of past friendships, or happy because of past friendships, it can't help but make people think, how can human life be so fragile, and I'm still alive, so many people I care about are still alive, how good. ”

Chu Ci was silent for a long time, did not respond to his sadness, and said: "It was Chu Shengxiong's hand." ”

"Are you sure?"

"Sure." Chu Ci glanced at him and smiled rarely, "You shouldn't be surprised, right?" Chu Shengxiong, you have seen it many times, and I have told you many times, you should always know a little bit about him, for Chu Shengxiong, his wife is too angry, where is he worthy of being transferred to Chang'an, Chu Zhongcheng, who has a spacious official road from now on, will only embarrass him in front of those powerful people in Chang'an, if he doesn't take advantage of the way into Beijing, he will not be able to solve it quickly when he settles down in Chang'an, he will not be able to do it, he will be promoted to get rich and die of his wife, Chu Shengxiong can wake up with a smile in his dreams, I see in his heart the greatest use of his wife, It gave birth to a son Chu Shenxing. ”

Qin Xun thoughtfully, Chu Ci has always disliked Chu Shengxiong's family, not just Qin Xun, this is not a secret among good friends, it stands to reason that if there is no accident, Chu Ci and Chu Shengxiong's family should never have met, and Chu Shengxiong is still his collateral relative, Chu Ci settled in Jiangnan with the prince of Guangling, and it should be a feeling of being close to a relative, even if there is friction, it is after getting along, and Chu Ci has rejected the Chu family from the bottom of his heart from the beginning, he has never explained the reason, and he has never said it to Qin Xun, Qin Xun didn't take the initiative to ask, but because of this, he speculated whether there was a connection between the affairs of the Chu family and Chu Shengxiong, Chu Ci may know something, but he hid it well in his heart.

Chu Ci seemed to be upset, suddenly stood up, looked at the pond outside the pavilion, the lotus flowers in summer have bloomed a lot, pink and white dotted between the blue lotus leaves, the lotus leaves are luxuriant, cool spread, almost invisible that part of the pond water under the leaves.

"Weizhi, you and His Royal Highness Guicheng beware of Chu Shengxiong." Chu Ci frowned, "I don't want to talk to you in detail, but let me tell you simply, you and Your Highness are both smart people, and you will definitely understand what I mean." Chu Shengxiong left the capital more than 20 years ago, it stands to reason that I must have never met him, but in fact, I have seen him, when I was young, I saw him in Chang'an, and I met him twice. ”

"The first time I wasn't impressed, it was when my father was still there, Chu Shengxiong went to Chang'an to see my mother, and I met in private, because

Isn't it strange that I found out later that my dad didn't know? He is a relative of the Chu family, and he went to Chang'an to see my father surnamed Chu, and secretly saw my mother surnamed Qu? They didn't notice me, and they were talking dumb riddles, I didn't understand at the time, but I remembered that my mother was a little emotional, probably saying that they were harboring evil intentions or something from the beginning, and at that time I didn't know who my mother was talking about 'you', and I only remembered Chu Shengxiong's appearance, because intuition is not a good thing, so I have always kept an impression. ”

"The second time I saw her, it was after my father was gone, my mother was crazy, at that time Qu Boyong took us back to the right prime minister's mansion to live for a while, saying that my mother was crazy and hurtful, and didn't let me and Zixi see her, I missed her very much, and one day I secretly ran to her room - in the end, it was still the prime minister's daughter, and there was a grandmother to take care of, my mother still lived in the garden before she got married, the place was very large, I finally found which room she was in, and I heard who she was arguing with, I didn't dare to go in, I hid outside to listen, she except scolded her father, The name 'Chu Shengxiong' was also scolded, and the two people who spoke to her had very low voices, I couldn't hear them clearly, until they went out, I hid and looked, and I couldn't see the two people clearly, one was my maternal grandfather Qu Boyong, and the other was the so-called 'Chu Shengxiong who had been away from Beijing for many years', and he was my distant uncle. ”

Chu Ci smiled at Qin Xun as he spoke: "Actually, my mother talked about Chu Shengxiong more than once a year or two before the accident at home, and some people may have really doubted it at first, but then my mother went crazy, and many people thought that she had an abnormal brain very early, so she always talked nonsense." ”

Qin Xun said: "You want to tell me, can you be sure that when something happened in your family, many years ago, Chu Shengxiong, who had been away from Chang'an for several years, had already been an accomplice on Qu Youxiang's side, and ...... Is it at the behest of His Majesty? ”
