Chapter 147: National Teacher
We rushed back to the hotel under the mountain immediately with the things wrapped in cowhide, this is the secret of the Ling family after all, the things were handed over to Ling Zhihan, we all planned to go out first, and were stopped by her at the door.
"It's because of these things that the Ling family has become the target of public criticism, no matter what is in it, I also want to make it public, and you don't have to avoid it." Ling Zhihan said to us with a calm face.
"The old man of my family said that life is just without desire in the world, I didn't understand it before, but now I understand, the less I know, the less I think, and the less troubles I have." Tian Ji shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Du Yi wants to know in every possible way, but we can't even if we don't know."
"You don't want to know?" The palace lord smiled uninhibitedly. "Vientiane Divine Palace, who knows how much wealth there is in so many palaces, don't you care about being so greedy for money."
"There is a treasure in the Vientiane Shrine?" Tian Ji suddenly came to the spirit.
"Nonsense, I didn't hear Ling Ran say it, it is used to suppress the dragon vein of the Tang Dynasty, this can be called the Zhenlong Divine Palace, you know what can suppress the dragon vein, gold!" I pinched the chicken's face. "Seven palaces, you have to calculate how much gold you have to have in them to suppress the dragon veins."
"What are you waiting for, I feel like I'm taking it apart and seeing what it says." Before I could speak, Tian Ji had already sat down in his chair.
Looking at Tian Ji's love of money, I smiled at the palace lord, but I knew very well in my heart that with Du Yi's ability, what he valued was not wealth at all, he should have other plans to find the Vientiane Divine Palace, but at least it would not be the right, he could already reverse black and white to cover the sky with one hand, the more I can't figure it out, a person who doesn't think about wealth and power, what does Du Yi care about?
Closing the door, Ling Zhihan carefully opened the wrapped cowhide, there was a notebook inside, and a well-preserved Huanghuali wooden box, judging from the shape of the wooden box and the lines on it, it should be the style of the early Tang Dynasty, and the notes should not be far away.
Ling Zhihan opened the wooden box, there was a roll of seven-colored silk brocade fabric inside, a bright yellow document next to it, and a folded rice paper, as soon as the wooden box was opened, my eyes fell on the seven-color fabric.
"This is the Holy Decree!" I recognized it at a glance.
I carefully took out the holy decree from the wooden box, the shaft handle at both ends is the best white jade, the holy decree is a symbol of the emperor's power, the texture of the shaft handle is different according to the official grade, only the holy decree of the first grade will use the jade shaft.
Moreover, the materials of the holy decree are very exquisite, they are all silk brocade fabrics made of fine silk, the richer the color, the higher the official rank of the official who received the gift, and the holy decree in my hand is seven colors, which is the highest rank.
This thing has been around for hundreds of years, Ye Zhiqiu couldn't bear his professional instinct when he saw it, and didn't let me touch it at all, as if he was afraid that I would break it by accident, she actually had gloves on her, and her eyes were like a field chicken seeing gold, and her eyes were almost shining.
She unfolded the holy decree on the table little by little, the holy decree has the magnificent shading of auspicious clouds and cranes, shining a little golden light under the lamp, and there are silver dragons flying at both ends.
The text on the holy decree is written in small block letters, graceful bearing, mellow and elegant, the layout is strange and coherent, the ups and downs are caused, the handwriting strokes are abrupt, like a relief, after the vicissitudes of life but the style is not reduced.
The emperor said: Xuannu broke the scroll and passed through the scriptures, so that she could understand the affairs of the world, and she relied on the ministers of the humerus; Collect the secrets of ancient and modern times, Chen Shan has a basis, Kuang Zuo Sheji's lightβͺ to evaluate performance, specially awarded the national teacher, the tin of the edict in the play, the virtue of the Shangli division, the Tur Jun Lie Xuan Huaxia, Jia Nai Pi achievements, in order to negotiate the meaning. Greatly.
The writing of the holy decree is extremely concise, almost to the extent that there are no additions or deletions, and after Ye Zhiqiu read the words above, we were immediately taken aback.
"This is the holy decree of Ling Xuan, the ancestor of the Feng Ling family, as the national teacher of the Tang Dynasty, look at the seal, it is Tang Gaozu Li Yuan who issued the holy decree!" Ye Zhiqiu was dumbfounded.
"Isn't Li Yuan's national teacher Yuan Tiangang?" The palace lord's face was full of doubts. "How...... How could it be Ling Xuan, the founding ancestor of my Ling family? β
"The Ling family has been prominent since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, relying on metaphysical secrets, and Yuan Tiangang is known as Fengjian, and he has reached the pinnacle in metaphysics, presumably and the Ling family should know Ling Xuan now, my father said that the Ling family used to live in the temple, but then there was a testament far away from the court, but I have never heard of the ancestor of the Ling family as the national teacher of the Tang Dynasty."
The holy decree is a symbol of the emperor's power, the so-called monarch has no jokes, whether Ling Zhihan knows it or not, Ling Xuan was a national teacher of the Tang Dynasty is certain, I frowned and picked up the bright yellow document in the wooden box, and after opening it, the words inside were beautiful, and it turned out to be written by Ling Xuan himself.
I put the document on the table and flipped through it with the others, and the more I looked back, the more shocked I became, and the most surprising thing I thought was Ye Zhiqiu, this document was enough to subvert her deep-rooted cognition.
The document recorded Ling Xuan's side, but there was no mention of her origin and teacher, she seemed to appear out of thin air, and one of the words made Ling Zhihan stunned.
β¦β¦ Xuan Xun Kyushu dragon qi land, has been the beginning of success, in Yizhou to accept the disciple Yuan Tiangang, to teach the occult arts to help me succeed......
"Yuan Tiangang turned out to be Ling Xuan's apprentice!" Tian Ji was stunned and shocked. "How powerful a person is in the Volcano Order, and he is still a well-known figure, he is actually Ling Xuan's disciple, how powerful is this Ling Xuan?"
We were all speechless in surprise, and the content of the later reading was even more surprising, and it was not difficult to see from the description in the document that Ling Xuan seemed to be ordered to explore the land of dragon qi in Kyushu, but it was not mentioned who was instructing her, Ling Zhihan told us that the so-called land of dragon qi in Kyushu was the dragon vein we are talking about now.
At that time, there were constant strife and wars in the world, and Ling Xuan was worried that the dragon qi would be damaged, so he selected Li Yuan from among the heroes to assist him to help him calm the world, so as to find out the place where the dragon qi could be used as soon as possible.
"Li Yuan dominates the world, relying on Ling Xuan?" Ye Zhiqiu opened his mouth and didn't believe it at all. "This ...... This is too exaggerated, according to the meaning of this document, Ling Xuan is just to facilitate the exploration of what dragon qi land, that is to say, she can choose Li Yuan at that time, and she can also choose other people, she ...... She single-handedly changed the course of history?! β
"I also agree with Zhiqiu's words, fighting a war to win the world is not something that can be done by just one person, it is a real fight with a real sword." Tian Ji shook his head and said. "According to Ling Xuan's meaning, taking the country is like playing a family."
In fact, I don't believe it, but looking back, there is still a record of this in the document, the above description of the matter of assisting Li Yuan is very detailed, Ling Xuan is not randomly selected Li Yuan to assist, the Li family dignitaries have to mention Longxi, the Li family is a Longxi noble, from the famous flying general Li Guang when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went down in history, to Li Yuan's eighth ancestor Li Hui, the Li family has lived in the Longxi area for generations.
Longxi is located in the hinterland of the Loess Plateau, located in the Hexi corridor, Weishui flows through the whole territory, west of Lanzhou, east of the ancient capital of Chang'an, this area connects the Central Plains and the Western Regions together, the land of Longxi, the gas, the potential are occupied, there is the spirit of the dragon and tiger, the Li family is nourished by this prosperous land, the dragon qi gradually appears.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, Ling Xuan took Yuan Tiangang to see Li Yuan, and said that as long as Li Yuan captured Chang'an, he would definitely pacify the world.
"Ling Xuan will let Li Yuan capture Chang'an and win the world?" The palace lord has always been cold, and he is puzzled when he sees this. "What does the gain or loss of one city and one pond have to do with peace in the world, Li Yuan is fortunate to have won the country, if he doesn't get it, he won't skin Ling Xuan alive."
"That's right, Chang'an is far from the world, there are so many cities, why does Ling Xuan have to Li Yuan attack Chang'an?" Ye Zhiqiu frowned and muttered to himself.
"Chang'an ......" Ling Zhihan thought for a long time, and his eyebrows slowly unfolded, with a look of admiration. The feng shui occupied by the Li family is indeed good, but it is a fly in the ointment, presumably the ancestor Ling Xuan saw the clues, otherwise he would not have chosen Li Yuan to assist, let alone let Li Yuan give up the near and far to capture Chang'an. β
"It is said in this document that the land of Longxi is occupied by qi and potential, and there is the spirit of a dragon and a tiger, and the Li family is nourished by this prosperous land, and the dragon qi is gradually revealed." Tian Ji asked, pointing to the paperwork on the table. "This is written by your ancestor himself, I don't see anything bad."
"The mountain is the potential of the dragon, and the water is the blood of the dragon, therefore, the dragon vein is inseparable from the mountain and the water. Ling Xuan replied excitedly.
"Mountains and rivers hug ......" I suddenly realized. Longxi is located on the Loess Plateau, with a serious shortage of water! β
"Yes, the dragon vein of the Li family is short of water, so if Li Yuan wants to win the world, he must find the water that nourishes the dragon vein." Ling Zhihan nodded.
"Eight rivers around Chang'an!" I opened my mouth and was completely speechless in shock, Ling Xuan easily saw the crux of the Li family, Chang'an has eight rivers, Wei, Jing, Feng, Shui, Wei, Zhu, Chan, and Ba, which can just make up for the lack of water in the Li family's dragon veins.
With Ling Xuan's ability, if she assists anyone, it will be difficult to think of the world, in fact, even if she wants to win the world herself, it may not be difficult, but the records in the document show that for Ling Xuan, the importance of finding the land of dragon qi in Kyushu is far more important than the country.
She didn't seem to be interested in any of this, even after Li Yuan won the world, she worshipped Ling Xuan as a god and entrusted her with the position of national teacher, but Ling Xuan shirked and let her disciple Yuan Tiangang take over, and the only requirement was to let Li Yuan keep her existence secret.
Li Yuan obeyed his words, so there has never been an appearance and record of Ling Xuan in the literary history of the Tang Dynasty.
