On the dragon chair, the Han Emperor exuded a touch of appreciation, temples and rivers and lakes?

Emperor Han chuckled, and the word "rivers and lakes" in his heart was fresh. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He opened his mouth to interrupt Zhang Xiyun and said, "You should tell me what are temples and rivers and lakes?"

Zhang Xiyun turned around, and then he thought that in this world, there are few temples and rivers and lakes, and temples are easy to understand, but this side belongs to the world of monks, but no one uses the word rivers and lakes.

"Your Majesty. He saluted.

"Needless to say, the temple is the imperial court, but also the dragon court, and those who live in the temple are officials. ”

"As for the ...... rivers and lakes"

Zhang Xiyun pondered for a moment and said, "The rivers and lakes are the people far away from the Dragon Court, and they are the places where the monks and the people in the world come and go. ”

"It represents freedom from constraints, it is not even a place, but a state of life for the people of the world, it is chaotic and complex, it gathers all kinds of people in the world, it has its own rules. ”

"I have seen in ancient records that a sage said this a thousand years ago. ”

"If you live in a temple, you will worry about its people, and if you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about its king. “

"And the theory of temples and rivers and lakes is what I have summarized from my own understanding. ”

There were ministers in the hall who asked each other, but no one had heard of Fan Zhongyan's famous sentence, and they were still wondering which ancient book recorded such words.

Emperor Han plays with taste: "Rivers and lakes, ......"

Chen Ping refuted coldly: "The five continents in the world are all under the Dragon Court, and the whole world is not the king's land, how can there be such a so-called rivers and lakes, free from the Dragon Court, and delusional to have their own rules." ”

Zhang Xiyun said with a smile: "Lord Chen's words are too full, even if you don't talk to Lord Chen about this river and lake, you only say that there are four big square cities in the outer city of the imperial capital, and there are countless gambling houses in them, these gambling houses undoubtedly belong to the Dragon Court, and they are born at the foot of the imperial city, but the gambling houses do not also have their own rules, rather than replacing them with the laws of the Han Dynasty." ”

"You ......!" Chen Ping was speechless, so he had to snort coldly.

"Why since Emperor Yao carried out the doctrine of the sect and set off the 'rule of Zongsheng', until the current generation, the Fangwai sect has declined but has not died, why since the son of Emperor Yu established the Xia Dragon Court, even if it is as strong as the Yin Shang Dragon Court, the monarchs of the past dynasties tried in vain to destroy the sect, the sect still has not collapsed. ”

"There were sages who said that existence is reasonable, so the sect exists, and the dragon court exists. ”

Zhang Xiyun put what he thought in his heart and came together in the Qinghe Palace.

In the past, Emperor Shang knew this principle, so he put forward the theory that the Dragon Court and the sect would rule the world together, even if the dynasty changed, King Wu of Zhou also recognized and chose the theory of Emperor Shang. ”

"During the Great Zhou Dragon Court, the strongest time may not be lost to the current Han Dragon Court, and then the Son of Heaven also made the mistake of the former Yin Shang, vainly trying to dictate the Zhou Dynasty for eternity, and even with the three sects and four sects that had jointly pushed the Ji clan to cut down the merchants, the relationship gradually deteriorated, until the Zhou Dynasty was in full decline, so I rose up to the ancestors, overthrew the Great Zhou, and established the foundation today. ”

"In the first year of my dynasty, although Gaozu was afraid of the three sects and four sects, he did not conquer the sect, but this move would cause turmoil in the world, and after Gaozong ascended the throne, he knew that the world needed the existence of the sect, and it could also be said that the existence of a free river and lake was needed, not affected by the temple, but it could not be completely separated from the temple and self-reliance, so he chose to rule the world with the sect, so that the temple and the rivers and lakes were not chaotic. ”

When Zhang Xiyun said this, he looked directly at Chen Ping, and said loudly: "However, Lord Chen's words undoubtedly regard the sect as a hidden danger, and above the temple, tell the hundred officials in the hall about the threat theory of the sect!"

"Lord Chen's words are hearty, but he can know that every sentence he says will erase the connection between the Dragon Court and the sect that His Majesty Gaozong worked hard to establish in the past, if this causes the suspicion of the sect, and causes the Dragon Court and the sect to oppose each other again, and the lives of the world are ruined, whether Lord Chen wants to be the sinner of the ages, or will make His Majesty have no face to see my emperor in the past!"

"I don't know what Lord Chen said, what he meant!"

"You ......!" Chen Ping was furious, he never thought that Zhang Xiyun's words would be such a big hat for himself, "Zhuzian dares to spew blood like this!"

Zhang Xiyun sneered, and continued: "Now that the three sects and four sects have closed the mountain, I heard that the Dragon Court is extremely protective of the disciples of the three sects and the four sects, this is undoubtedly a good act of Your Majesty, in order to achieve harmony between the Dragon Court and the sect, but Lord Chen, you are bewitching Your Majesty in this court and encouraging Your Majesty to be such an arrogant monarch!"

Chen Ping was angry and had the heart to refute, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Your Majesty. Zhang Xiyun turned around, bowed to Emperor Han, and said: "The Dragon Court has six thousand officials, among which there are many disciples of the Fangwai Sect who have entered the world, and there is no shortage of children of the family who have practiced and trained in the sect.

"Since His Majesty Gaozong opened the door to his career, he has said that the official position of the Dragon Court will never change because of its identity, although Qin Tianjian has almost never had a sect disciple serve since the day Gaozong was established, but Gaozong has never said that he will not allow sect disciples to enter Qin Tianjian!"

When his voice fell, the ministers in the hall were silent, and no one spoke.

After a long time, I heard the laughter of Emperor Han.

"A good sentence is reasonable. Emperor Han praised, "Yes, Gaozong opened the door of the official path, but he never said that Qin Tianjian did not allow the disciples of the sect to enter, if you have the ability, except for the three thousand halls of the harem, where is the Dragon Court not allowed to let you in?"

"The Dragon Court is arrogant, how can it refuse people thousands of miles away?"

"I just retired from the court, and you waited outside the palace, but I was not in the Qinghe Palace, but sent someone to invite the former three princes to come to see me. ”

Emperor Han looked at the many courtiers in the palace and said slowly: "Just a few words between the three dukes and me, I have suddenly become enlightened. ”

But what Fang Cai said was not much different from the meaning of Zhang Xiyun's words. ”

Emperor Han said with a smile: "If you can say what the Confucian Gong said, you can see that you do have some ability, but you are indeed qualified to enter the Qin Heavenly Prison." ”

He looked at Zhang Xiyun and said: "Although what he said is not as profound as Confucianism, it has a little more meaning, and the name of the rivers and lakes is the first time I have heard of it." ”

"Zhang Xiyun, it seems that you have read a lot of ancient books, and I have never heard of even the three words of the sages. ”

Emperor Han then looked at Chen Ping and said, "Lord Chen, Zhang Xiyun's words may have moved you a little?"

"Minister......" Chen Ping was speechless, and Zhang Xiyun's almost strong words made it difficult for him to refute.

"The minister has never violated His Majesty's heart, and he has no intention of provoking a war, and I also ask Your Majesty to know that the minister has nothing to say today, and everything is subject to His Majesty's holy judgment. ”

Emperor Han nodded lightly and said with a smile at Chen Ping: "I know that you are kind, but you have chosen the wrong method of governance. ”

He looked at Zhang Xiyun again, as if to reassure him: "What Zhang Xiyun said is good, but there is no need to be too harsh on Chen Qing, he is also worried about the Dragon Court, not for you." ”

He faced the ministers in the palace and said: "After the martial arts test is completed, I will appoint you, and you will be the champion of the martial arts in this dynasty......"

"Tianqiong walks, Zhang Xiyun!"

Zhang Xiyun was overjoyed in his heart, and now he was finally able to put down his hanging heart with peace of mind, and couldn't help clenching his fists.

However, Chen Ping, the secretary of the ministry, was expressionless, not knowing what he was thinking.

On the other hand, Huang Xu, who had never spoken in the Ministry of Works, had a slightly unhappy complexion, and the look of fear in his eyes became more and more solemn.

The Fang Ran brothers and sisters and Jiang Qi on the side were naturally happy for him, and after he retreated, they spoke to him softly.

"Congratulations, Brother Zhang. ”

Zhang Xiyun bowed down to the Han Emperor and said at the same time: "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen." ”

Emperor Han said with a smile: "Zhang Xiyun, An Luping recommended you, I value you from the disaster, today even I stopped for you for half an hour, your face is not small, in the future, I will serve the Dragon Court in the Qintian Prison, and I will definitely promote you to be a big official in the future." ”

At this time, Chen Ping stepped forward and bowed, and said: "Your Majesty, today's rash move may bring trouble, please punish Your Majesty, and the minister is willing to resign and retire." ”

"As I said earlier, I forgive you for your kindness to the Dragon Court, but you chose the wrong method. Emperor Han said to him, "This mistake will naturally be punished, but you don't even have to take off the black gauze hat." ”

"Kechen ......" Chen Ping was not finished speaking, and was interrupted by Emperor Han again.

"I've decided, so I don't need to say any more. ”

Emperor Han's move was also granted by the Duke of Rumu, and the Dragon Court is now in a busy period, so it is not appropriate to remove a scholar, so it is better to make a big thing small, and it will not be possible to catch a big fish in the future.

The matter came to an end for the time being, and the Han Emperor met with all the Wuju people in turn.

During this process, there was no doubt about the initiation, so it passed very quickly.

In less than an hour, twenty Wuju people had already faced the saints.

"Okay, I have met all of you, and from today on, you are the real important ministers of the Dragon Court, I hope you can help me and let the Dragon Court protect the world. ”

Emperor Han looked at the twenty martial artists in front of him and instructed: "As an official, the Dragon Court must be honest, and you must not be consumed by the desire for profit and join forces with the left road." ”

Zhang Xiyun and the others said in unison: "No, I will live up to Your Majesty's entrustment." ”

"Today's hour is not early, and I am also lacking, so the face saint is over, and I will retreat. ”

After Emperor Han said that, the eunuch beside him stepped forward and shouted, "Retreat from the dynasty." ”

The Han Emperor went to the apse with the two eunuchs, and after the Han Emperor left, the hundred officials in the palace withdrew from the Qinghe Palace.

Zhang Xiyun and Fang Ran and the others walked at the end, and several people were happy along the way, and even congratulated each other.

"Brother Zhang, you will be a colleague in the future, but you are subordinate to Qin Tianjian and have the position of supervising the six departments, it seems that I will have to avoid you in the future. Fang Ran joked.

"It's okay, if you are not an official or upright, for the sake of your old friendship, when I come to the door, I will bring a pot of good wine. ”

Between a few laughing and talking, they walked out of the Qinghe Palace.

As soon as they left the temple, they saw a woman standing in the shade of a tree beside the long road not far away.

She is covered with light veil, her long hair hangs down her waist, and her figure is unparalleled.

......

Outside the Qinghe Palace, half an hour ago.

The lord of Qingyu covered with light gauze is here.

The two eunuchs guarding outside the hall hurriedly saluted: "See Lord Qingyu." ”

The county lord of Qingyu nodded lightly and said, "In the Qinghe Palace, but do the holy ceremony again?"

"Back to the county lord of Qingyu, exactly. ”

Lord Qingyu said, "How long have you been in the palace?"

"More than an hour. The two eunuchs replied.

Qingyu County Lord Dai frowned lightly and said, "How does it not match the time?"

"The county lord doesn't know, today the face saint has been closed for half an hour. ”

Hearing this, she raised her eyebrows lightly and said, "Tell me carefully." ”

The two eunuchs informed the Qinghe Palace in detail.

"Why is there only a mortal martial artist this year, but there is no Xianlu martial artist?"

The two eunuchs glanced at each other and informed the news that came out of the Dragon Court now, and the county lord couldn't help but be shocked when they heard it.

"During my retreat, something so great happened. She said to herself that this matter would definitely not be so simple, and that she would need to ask her mother or her majesty later.

"Zhang Xiyun, the champion of today's dynasty?" Then, Qingyu said in a low voice, "I can actually enter the Qintian Prison......"

She asked the two eunuchs, "How extraordinary is this champion today?"

The county lord of Qingyu has been in retreat for a long time, and she doesn't know about the major events in the five continents during this year, but today these two eunuchs have become her encyclopedia, which can be said to be answered and answered.

However, after a while, the two eunuchs told all the rumors about Zhang Xiyun to the lord of Qingyu County.

"I was recommended by the deputy safety supervisor to enter the Qin Heavenly Prison, and I was valued by the commander, no wonder I was targeted by the secretary of the ministry......"

She chuckled and said: "The Ministry of Officials has always been very ambitious, and because of the old grudge between the previous Ministry of Officials and the Great Commander, and the military department, coupled with Qin Tianjian, it is indeed enough to make this Lord Chen crazy once......

However, the county lord of Qingyu came to the Qinghe Palace, not for these, but to find out if there were people among the Wuju people who could awaken the immortals.

She thought to herself: "On weekdays, the immortals are asleep, only when the immortals appear, it will cause implication, since the immortals were lost, the immortals have never woken up, today's martial arts face saint, how can there be such a coincidence, this person must be related to the immortals, and the person who stole the sword back then." ”

"Back then, it was my mother who guarded the palace, and if the trapped fairy sword was stolen in my mother's hands, but after that, my mother would rather never leave the Anning Palace than find the trapped fairy sword. No matter how much I have asked over the years, neither my mother nor His Majesty will tell me in detail about the events of that year, and I have visited several officials, but they have also been very secretive about what happened back then......"

The question in the heart of the county lord of Qingyu is getting bigger and bigger, she is a curious person, but she doesn't know that curiosity often kills cats.

And now, the long-standing question in her heart may have a breakthrough, in this imperial city, or even in the Qinghe Palace in front of her, she will not give up no matter what.

"It's for myself, but it's also for my mother......"

She walked to the shade of the tree on the side of the long road outside the Qinghe Palace, sat cross-legged, and waited for the retreat.

At this time, she suddenly remembered what Lord Zhang had said to her when she visited.

"There are some things in this world that some people want to forget, some people want to know, and some people can't forget......"

On that day, it was she who asked Zhang Shenzhu why her mother would rather sit in the Palace of Tranquility and never step out of the imperial city again, and even never see her father when she died of old age, and refused to find the lost trapped immortal sword.

Zhang Shenzhu stood by the window, just as the sun was setting, his cold face seemed to have a trace of softness because of the sunset.

"And your mother and I are the ones who can't forget......" (To be continued.) )
