Chapter 0044: Parting Gift
"The official family will meet the seven stars in the front hall, and I will wait to avoid behind the bead curtain, and it can be regarded as an opportunity to see what kind of demeanor the 6 immortals are!"
The Empress Dowager Cao who spoke was the empress of Emperor Renzong and the granddaughter of Cao Bin, King of Wuhui, and she could be regarded as the queen of the generals.
Cao Bin led his troops to sweep away Houshu, defeated the Southern Tang Dynasty, and conquered the Northern Han and Liao Kingdoms. Only in the 3rd year of Yongxi, the Northern Song Dynasty soldiers conquered the Khitan in three ways, and Cao Bin's East Route Army was defeated by light troops, and the whole line was defeated.
Although it was a bit late, he was still posthumously named King Wuhui after his death.
Empress Dowager Cao is familiar with the scriptures and history, good at flying silk books, and the history books evaluate her to be humble and thrifty, and once led the palace concubines to plant grains in the forbidden garden, pick mulberry and raise silkworms, and her body lì implemented the national policy of Emperor Renzong to recuperate and was praised by each other.
However, at this time, she is already old after all, although her temperament is still strict and meticulous, but she can't help but be curious about the way of immortals.
Although it was nominally proposed by his niece, Emperor Yingzong's empress Gao Taotao, she was actually more interested in it, and Empress Dowager Gao was just very clever and considerate of her aunt's intentions.
In the Song Dynasty, the rules for concubines to interfere in politics were relatively strict, and they were never allowed to communicate with the ministers of the court, nor were they allowed to accept gifts from the ministers, and it was strictly forbidden to blow the wind on the pillow. With other preventive measures, it generally ensured that the rear palace of the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty was relatively quiet and inactive, and the influence on foreign government was not great.
Even if there were a few times to listen to the government, the final transfer of power was smooth and the transition was successful.
There are no examples of Empress Zetian in the Tang Dynasty and Empress Dowager Cixi in the Qing Dynasty, and the historical evaluation is also good.
However, whether it is Empress Dowager Cao or Empress Dowager Gao, they are not very satisfied with Empress Xiang on weekdays. There is almost a unanimous opinion that this woman's political talent is almost zero, and in fact their opinion is really correct.
But it's just such a queen who is not very much looked down on by them, and she actually has a fairy fate - no matter how the yellow on her waist finally fell into her hands, it is really a treasure in the end!
At the level of Empress Dowager Cao and Empress Dowager Gao, they have naturally seen the yellow on the waist.
They had also witnessed the miraculous glow of the yellow on the waist in the darkness—a soft and bright luster that could melt the heart of any woman.
But they want it very much, but they can't say it at all.
Although Empress Xiang's wisdom is limited, it doesn't mean that she is a fool.
At this time, everyone in the harem/palace knew that Empress Dowager Cao was the real number-one-No. 1. But the meaning of the yellow on this waist is too strange and mysterious, and Queen Xiang is definitely unwilling to hand it over.
And her attempt to confront Empress Dowager Cao openly is obviously unwise, so she can only find another way.
In the end, Empress Xiang's choice was to buy this piece of waist yellow from the crescent moon that night, and then give it to her eldest daughter, the eldest princess, who was only 2 years old this year.
The rate of child mortality was so high that even the royal family could not change the result.
The emperors of the past dynasties were especially strict, and the reason why Emperor Yingzong succeeded to the throne was because Emperor Renzong's three sons and eight daughters died young, and in the end, no son succeeded to the throne and could only succeed Zhao Shu, the son of Zhao Yunrang, the king of Pu.
Interestingly, the reason why Empress Dowager Cao became the empress of Emperor Renzong was because the former Empress Guo was deposed as a nun under the pretext of having no children. As a result, after Empress Dowager Cao ascended the throne, she still had no children.
So Xiang gave the yellow on his waist to the eldest princess, which no one could find the slightest fault.
Even if someone talks a lot, presumably it is impossible for Empress Dowager Cao and Empress Dowager Gao to compete with their great-granddaughter or granddaughter. It's not wrong to care for the next generation, even if it is pointed out in the name of filial piety.
Both the Empress Dowager Cao and the Empress Dowager Gao attached great importance to their reputation.
It is impossible to bear the notoriety and ask the eldest princess for the yellow on the waist.
But I haven't seen the yellow on the waist, it's just that it's impossible to forget it after seeing it.
Whether it was waking up or falling asleep, whether it was admiring the flowers or the moon, the yellow on the waist was dangling in front of the eyes of the two like a spell. The more you can't get it, the more you want to get it.
So the Empress Dowager Cao and the Empress Dowager Gao, who were known to the ministers and knew how to advance and retreat, finally made a request to Emperor Shenzong - to invite the Seven Stars to enter the palace to see them.
Of course, their reasons are also very high.
Didn't you mention earlier that the emperors of all dynasties had a difficult time? Since the eldest princess has this piece of yellow blessing on her waist, why not invite the seven-star real person into the palace, and then pray for a few gadgets for the royal family, which will be used to bless a long life after giving birth to a dragon son in the future.
In fact, this is also very attractive to Emperor Shenzong Zhao Ji.
At this time, although Zhao Ji was twenty-one years old, he was still very young. The ancestors of several emperors all believed in Taoism, and it cannot be said that there was no influence on him. In addition, his heirs are indeed difficult, he got married early in ancient times, and at his age, under normal circumstances, he should have a basket of children, but he only has one daughter until now.
Isn't it rumored that the Seven Stars are really good at rejuvenation and good at medicine?
Then it's good to help Zhao Ji look at the pulse and regulate his body.
Even if Zhao Ji doesn't have any hidden diseases in his body, if he can get a panacea, it is definitely a good thing to eat it and spread more branches for the royal family.
Ding Yang didn't know that when he entered the palace this time, he was given huge expectations.
Even the scope of occultism, medicine, and religion was not until they met to be shocked by this series of vague requests.
"Well, the meaning of Majesty is already known. However, Poor Dao did not prepare more pills in Lishan this time, and I am afraid that His Majesty will be disappointed. ”
"But it is rumored that real people have the power of medicine to get rid of diseases. It is said that before the mother of the Zhang Shiro saw the real person, she was already terminally ill, and the famous doctors outside were all dying. But the real person took out the elixir, and he had already snatched back a life from under the hands of Lord Yama. Could it be that all of this is false? ”
"Hehe...... "I knew you would use Liu's example to talk about things, but I can't tell you that Liu's tuberculosis is nothing more than tuberculosis in later generations, and it has changed from an incurable disease to a treatable disease."
And the prescription you want now is obviously to strengthen the effect of refining and nourishing the kidneys.
Maybe you'll need a little blue pill to help you get started.
But it's not a rare thing, but I need to go back to the 21st century to buy it!
Ding Yang, who was only left with a Heaven Silence Annihilation Pill, said that he would not waste this opportunity in a senseless time and space shuttle, and had already made up his mind that he would come to Da Song next time, just to experience the customs of this era.
When the time comes, I don't have to contact any acquaintances, just walk around the city of Tokyo alone, and experience all the daily life of the Song Dynasty - including travel, food, leisure, entertainment, culture, and so on. That is not a wasted opportunity to cross, of course, by the way, it is also necessary to bring a mobile phone to record various shots in detail.
Even if you don't let it go out for others to see, it can be regarded as a precious memory left by yourself.
However, at this time, when he heard Emperor Shenzong's request, he also clearly felt that there were many pairs of tigerish eyes staring at him behind the bead curtain - they all guessed that it was the concubines of the emperor's queen/palace.
The pressure of so many people's expectations is still a bit of a burden for Ding Yang.
Fortunately, the previous experience of Daxiangguo Temple gave him a lot of help, and the experience of being watched by thousands of people has already given him a solid heart, and now his ability to bear pressure has increased greatly, and this is nothing in front of him.
What's more, through Guò's meticulous observation, Ding Yangxian, whether it is the emperor or the concubines, all have a deep fear of him from the bottom of their hearts.
Since this is the case, then there is no need to say anything, just refuse to pull it down.
Anyway, in order to maximize the harvest of entering the palace this time, he also specially brought a heavy gift.
"Your Majesty's intentions, the poor road has been fully understood. However, between heaven and earth, the way of natural balance is emphasized. This is also the foundation of my one-way practice, and no one can break it. For the Liu family, the poor road came to help, but it was the cause and effect of the red dust with Zhang Jiashiro. And for Majesty. If the poor way is eventful, it will break the cause and effect. Violating the way of natural balance, for His Majesty, it is unpredictable! ”
As Ding Yang's words came out, Zhao Ji's face suddenly changed.
Asking for the elixir is to make the body and life better, if it will cause the opposite effect, then there is absolutely no need to ask for the elixir.
"Well, what the real person said was great, but I was overlooked before. Fortunately, the real person mentioned it, so I never went astray. Since it hinders cause and effect, does inviting real people to bless me with enlightenment will also bring unknown calamities? ”
Seeing that the words just now frightened Emperor Shenzong a little bit, Ding Yang inevitably felt embarrassed.
"No, no, no, Your Majesty is too worried. This sect's elixir directly interferes with the cause and effect of Hongchen, and it is a special instruction from the family teacher not to make a promise lightly. It can be blessed with light, but it is the refinement of the poor road itself, just to understand the red dust and break the bottleneck of the hundred-foot goal. As long as the pious heart of the person who is given the light is pious, it will not harm his own fortune, but it will not harm. ”
Looking at the radiant Emperor Shenzong in front of him, Ding Yang didn't know why he died young in history.
This can be regarded as a resolute and decisive emperor among the emperors of the Song Dynasty, and can be called a king of great talent.
can support Wang Anshi's reforms, do not believe in the achievements left by his ancestors, and can see the crisis under the prosperous age. If he persists, he will complete a comprehensive reform of the new law. The increase in the national strength of the Song Dynasty is basically predictable, and at least it will break the imprint of the economic and political system of the old era and establish a new international pattern.
Even if it was just to give him a little psychological comfort, Ding Yang wanted to help him.
Anyway, there is still a surplus of luminous paint in his hand, and it is absolutely no problem to help him open a few small objects.
Besides, he was able to take out the big artifact he brought from the 21st century, and he originally planned to use this thing to create the maximum value of it, and exchange it for unparalleled and peerless calligraphy and paintings.
I never thought that the special luminous robe before was so powerful that it didn't make this artifact work at all, and it had already been replaced with a masterpiece of calligraphy and painting that satisfied him.
So now, borrow this thing to offer flowers to the Buddha - simply give it to Emperor Shenzong, and it can be regarded as a psychological comfort for him!
After thinking about it, Ding Yang let go of a few jade pendants that had been painted with luminous paint, and turned his hand to put the box he treasured next to him in front of him: "Your Majesty, Meng Sheng has blue eyes, and the poor road is quite enlightened on this trip." Before leaving, he also presented a gift to His Majesty. ”
