Volume 1 The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Chapter 20 Don't Use the Hidden Dragon
The so-called Jingzhao Mansion is the imperial court agency that is in charge of the security and normal operation of the entire capital and the surrounding areas, you have to say that in terms of terms of terms of authority, it is actually similar to the county government in charge of a county, the county guard in charge of a county, and the state capital in charge of a state, but the difficulty of this Jingzhao Mansion is that it is difficult to manage the capital, and the place where Huang Zi Gongqing gathers, it feels like it is very powerful, but it is actually for people to be grandchildren.
The capital, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, is a place where the imperial spirit gathers, and the dignitaries and dignitaries who live here do not know how many, and they insist on breaking the relationship, and most of them may be able to get involved with the important ministers of the court.
Maybe one day the offender will be the nephew of which Shangshu, which squire's own son, you say that you treat other people's crimes, that's good, this is even if you offend someone's family, this person's heart is the most sinister, once the opportunity is seized, then it will definitely fall into the well for you, maybe you will be trampled to death.
But you don't cure other people's crimes, Haole, the people here can run to the gate of the imperial city at any time to cry grievances, once they are verified by the criminal department, they will finally be dismissed from their posts and lose their heads.
It's not that their kings are not virtuous, it's really that the powerful people want to find fault with you, it's not simple, just make up a crime to bring you down, and in comparison, your status in the emperor's heart, can you still be higher than them? Therefore, the Jingzhao Mansion Yin of all dynasties basically did not sit for a long time, and some people even said that a book is easy to do, but the parents of the people in the capital are the most difficult to do.
While safeguarding the interests of all forces, we must also uphold the principle of fairness and justice.
However, where do these people from the bottom of the market know this, Jingzhao Mansion is in their eyes, that is the representative of the imperial court, although Wang Tianlun himself has not seen what the other party is so far, but he still decided to move Jingzhao Yin Mansion out first, anyway, no matter how big you are, you are not as big as the imperial court, who dares to attack the court officials on the street in the capital? Even if he is just a small official.
Hearing Wang Tianlun's shout, Gu Xuan let go of his wrist, which was red and swollen by himself, and said loudly: "It is naturally important to keep the streets clean, but it is not a talisman for you to blackmail the people, and this Xicheng District is where the people live, without these small vendors, the entire Xichengfang Temple will also lose a bit of fun, as long as everyone can take the initiative to clean up after closing the stall, there will naturally be no problem." ”
This remark made the other small traders nod secretly, and there was also an expression of honor on their faces, did they hear it, someone said, these people are the face of Xicheng District!
Wang Tianlun glanced around left and right, and everyone's reactions fell into their eyes, and he laughed angrily at the moment, and loudly reprimanded: "What kind of thing are you, you dare to openly criticize the imperial court decrees! Today I will definitely arrest you and go to Jingzhao Mansion for interrogation!"
But after all, Wang Tianlun still didn't dare to do it by himself after all, his family knows his own family affairs, he is just a gentleman who has been hollowed out by wine, just now people grabbed you with one hand and couldn't move, how could he be someone's opponent if you really want to move, this kind of intimidation, just talk about it.
Gu Xuan said: "The laws and regulations of the imperial court are also good and bad, and not every decree has never been revised after it is issued, only if it can stand the test of the people, that is good, since we are the people of the Son of Heaven, we should have the right to discuss!"
Of course he can say this kind of thing, he is a prince, the sky is noble, even if he is not good in the palace, it is also the body of a prince, praising and deprecating facts, discussing laws and regulations, no one can find fault with him.
But where have ordinary people heard this kind of words, they were all frightened and silent, and they all began to do their own things with their heads down, and they almost didn't dare to take their eyes off again.
Wang Tianlun's whole person was so frightened that he stretched out his hand to point at Gu Xuan, trembling all over, opening his mouth, and he couldn't speak.
Seeing the expressions of the people around him, Gu Xuan's brows also wrinkled together, and he knew that it didn't make sense to tell them these truths, everyone had the truth in their hearts that everyone relied on to survive, this was each of their cognition of the world, as if Lao Huo's truth he didn't like, and his truth Lao Huo also sneered at the same, and he could only sigh at the moment, and was ready to leave like this.
Unexpectedly, the evil young king Tianlun suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Gu Xuan's arm, his eyes were full of fanatical light.
"Don't go, come with me to Jingzhao Mansion to confess!"
Where is it a glamorous and decent official position to manage small merchants and hawkers, but if you can catch a person who defends the world and says such things and hand them over to Jingzhao Mansion, maybe you will be appreciated by the higher authorities and get the opportunity for promotion?
He did this, and the old woman who had collected the silver next to him was about to stop him, but was stopped by Gu Xuan's hand.
"Childe!"
The old woman shouted eagerly.
Gu Xuan didn't even glance at the old woman next to him, his mind was clear, he didn't know what the kid on the other side was thinking, and he didn't struggle at the moment, he just leaned down and whispered to the other party: "Arrest me and go to Jingzhao Mansion?" Do you think that when you go to Jingzhao Mansion, do they believe in me or you more?"
Wang Tianlun was stunned by the question, Gu Xuan directly shook off the other party, then gently shook off his clothes, and said: "Don't blackmail these poor people anymore, it is your duty to supervise them to clean up the streets, if this kind of thing happens again, let your family go to the prison to get people." ”
After he finished speaking, not only Wang Tianlun was completely shocked by him, and he didn't dare to step forward, but the old woman next to him was wide-eyed, not knowing what to say, and couldn't say anything if she wanted to ask where to repay the money.
Under the complicated gaze of the surrounding people, Gu Xuan didn't care, and leisurely walked through the alleys of Nansha Street and walked to the main street.
To the main street, the crowd is boiling, shoulder to shoulder, suddenly it is much more lively, here, the imperial court specially allows some merchants to set up stalls on both sides of the street, but they must follow the principle, can not dirty the street, so here are some selling trinkets, such as hairpins, rouge gouache and other things, but when the top check is not strict, there are also many people who have the courage to seize the vacancy, to this side to set up stalls, or some fortune-telling stalls.
Just as he was walking forward slowly with a leisurely face, a middle-aged man who was originally sitting on the side of the road actually took the initiative to step forward, walked over, and said, "Childe, please stay." ”
Gu Xuan's five senses were extremely acute because of his perennial martial arts practice, but even he didn't feel how this person came out of the crowd, and how he suddenly pulled him abruptly, Gu Xuan didn't break free in a hurry, but first looked at the other party carefully, and let the other party pull him to the side of the road.
At the feet of the Son of Heaven, it was broad daylight again, and when the crowds were surging, who could give him Gu Xuan a shadow in this situation, then he was considered capable.
Under scrutiny, this middle-aged man was wearing a very clean white-gray robe, tall and handsome, especially his eyes were extremely focused, willow eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, a handful of beautiful hair on his chin, his temperament was elegant, and his demeanor was so graceful that people couldn't say anything to refuse when they saw it.
Gu Xuan followed the middle-aged man all the way to his small stall and sat down, this place seemed to be a small world of its own, completely isolated from the crowding and noisy, forming a secluded place, but Gu Xuan's attention at the moment was attracted by the middle-aged man, and he didn't notice this small detail.
Look at the flagpole erected next to this small stall, it seems to be a fortune-telling stall that counts eight characters and criticizes fortunes and fortunes, this kind of stall is not too much in the capital, not too little, there are people who have been beaten and abducted, and some are extremely accurate, counting dozens of hundreds of taels of snowflake silver at a time, but Gu Xuan never believed this, and he walked around these people on weekdays, and he didn't expect to be pulled to the front of the fortune-telling booth today.
However, the person in front of him at least dressed up and had an extremely extraordinary temperament, and Gu Xuan was not angry, but felt interesting, and after sitting down, he laughed and said, "Sir, you took the initiative to pull me over, isn't it just a low value?"
The middle-aged man smiled confidently and said: "I am good at looking at qi, and there is an imperial aura lingering on the son, obviously he is a member of the royal family, such a noble person appears in front of him, and he naturally has to talk about it with a thick skin, I just hope that he has not collided with the child." ”
His voice exudes a mellow and elegant feeling, and it is like a fairy sound, which makes people fall into it unconsciously, and they can't afford the slightest idea of driving away.
Gu Xuan also noticed this, and immediately pretended to be kind and pointed out: "Oh, Mr. has such a ability! I see that everywhere will be regarded as a guest, and seeing each other is fate, then today I will dare to show the way for Mr. ”
The middle-aged man still had that gentle smile on his face, even if he knew that Gu Xuan was talking nonsense, he was not angry, but said modestly: "If I remember correctly, the official family surnamed Ye in the capital, and the official family of the Ministry of Shangshu Yezhihuai, the son opened his mouth to introduce such a noble person to me, and I really didn't dare to be it." ”
Gu Xuan was taken aback, he didn't expect that this person, a fortune teller, was still a little familiar with the officialdom of Liangguo, and he was also a little interested at the moment and said: "Sir, it's better to be straightforward, you took the initiative to pull me over, you didn't come to talk about this." ”
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Naturally, if you have the courage to stop your son, you naturally have something to say to your son." ”
Gu Xuan said sincerely: "Sir, I think you should be different from those people, you are a person with real talent and learning, but if you want to get oil and water from me, I am afraid that you will be disappointed, I am thin and thin, and I have very little oil and water on my body, no matter whether Mr. wants to seek glory and wealth or fame and fortune, I really can't help." ”
The middle-aged man waved his hand and said with a smile: "No, no, no, I just want to take the initiative to send my son a hexagram today." ”
"Send a hexagram?" Gu Xuan was slightly stunned, he vaguely remembered that when he was in the palace when he was a child, the second brother often said to himself, what fortune teller is the so-called feudal superstition, don't believe it, these people dare to say anything in order to get some money out of their pockets, and sometimes they also say something inexplicable, just to attract your attention, thinking of these, it is natural that you can't have the slightest good impression of this fortune teller.
"No need, I also made an appointment with a friend, so I won't disturb Mr.'s opportunity to make money. ”
After Gu Xuan finished speaking, he got up and was about to leave, when the middle-aged man suddenly opened his mouth and said lightly: "Prince Xuan, do you really want to go on like this forever?"
Gu Xuan turned around abruptly, staring into the other party's eyes, thinking about the other party's origin and purpose.
He believed that with his low profile, it was impossible for a random fortune teller on the street to easily recognize his true identity, and he was not one of the other princes.
If the other party says so, he must have come prepared.
Could it be that those brothers set a trap in order to play with themselves, otherwise how would the other party know themselves?
On the contrary, the middle-aged man spoke first: "Prince Xuan, don't guess, I came here today with full sincerity, how can the prince not even dare to calculate a hexagram?"
Gu Xuan looked left and right, but couldn't find anyone who might be hiding in the shadows, so he had to sit down again.
"Then please ask the gentleman to divinate for me. ”
You count it as yours, I don't believe it, no matter what you say, all the good and all the bad, don't let me raise the slightest interest and ask.
The middle-aged man threw out the copper coin with a pleased smile, and the copper coin fell on the table, some of which were positive and some were negative, which seemed to contain mysterious laws.
Gu Xuan stared at the copper coins on the table and asked.
"What do you mean, sir?"
The middle-aged man smiled slightly, grabbed his sleeve with one hand, stretched out his sword finger with the other, pointed to the copper coin on the table, and explained in an orderly manner: "This is the Qiangua, the Qianzhi, the heavens, the strong and the upright, for the beginning of all things, this hexagram is the ninth day of the first month, the image of the hidden dragon should not be used, looking at its hexagram, the son seems to be in a difficult situation now, and it is difficult to display his talents, I don't know if it?"
Gu Xuan was slightly startled at first, but when he turned his head, he felt that the other party had come prepared, knowing that his situation was not difficult, and he didn't say anything at the moment, and he didn't even raise his eyelids.
And the middle-aged man seemed to have seen through what Gu Xuan was thinking, and continued: "It's okay if Childe doesn't believe me, I'm just here today to calculate this hexagram for Childe, to form a good fate, the beginning of one yuan, Vientiane is renewed, although Childe is suppressed by the upper echelons at the moment, but don't worry, the opportunity will come soon, when the time comes, there will naturally be a chance for Childe to show his strength." ”
Gu Xuan frowned and said, "What do you mean by this?"
The middle-aged man didn't seem to want to say more, but he shook his head indifferently, turned around and said, "Childe, just remember my words today, we will meet in the future, and that's all for today." ”
Gu Xuan was full of doubts, but he didn't know what to say, at first it was the other party who pulled him, but when his curiosity was aroused, the other party didn't say it, it was really uncomfortable, but he was not a person who chased and beat hard, and from the bottom of his heart, he felt that this was just the other party's trick to cheat money, since the other party had the intention of sending off guests, he naturally got up and saluted, and gently put a silver ingot on the table when he left.
