Chapter Eighty-Nine: Auspicious Rainfall from the Sky
Volume 5 Jinghua Jiangnan Chapter 89 Auspicious Rui Descends from the Sky At the beginning of the sixth year of the > Qingli, whether it is Northern Qi or Southern Qing, many wonderful things have happened within the borders of the two countries, although due to the cold weather, millet has not grown in the rice fields, and naturally there is no appearance of double spikes, and there are no white fish in the river, and no unicorns have been found in the mountains, but ...... When Wuzhou opened the mountain, dug out a pair of copper walls, when Shazhou repaired the river embankment, the migrant workers were pleasantly surprised to find a huge, there is a turtle with cloud decorations, in the paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River, there are birds, red geese soaring in the sky!
Whether it is the copper wall or the cloud turtle and the bird, they all belong to the auspicious first-class, and officials from all over the country hurriedly came to the table and patted the horses, but His Majesty the emperor in Kyoto was a little disdainful.
Because this auspicious and shameless atmosphere was raised in the territory of the Northern Qi last year, the previous legend was that after the first snow in the West Mountain, there was a woodcutter on the mountain who found the white deer, the white wolf and the white fox, thinking that it was a good omen, and wrote to the Emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
A generation of grandmaster Kuhe took this as a sign of heaven and man, and believed that the monarchs of various countries were properly governed and the heart of heaven was in harmony, so he reopened the mountain gate and accepted a female apprentice in a temple outside the capital city, and the female apprentice was the manager who later entered the palace.
Later, this trend spread to the south, and this kind of thing began to appear in various parts of Qingguo. However, Emperor Qingguo was obviously a tough person who did not respect ghosts and gods, and it was not until a few days ago that the Qin Tianjian was trembling in his voice and said in ecstasy that the Qin Tianjian had observed Jingxing Qingyun, which made the Qingguo Emperor begin to face this fact.
Xiangrui is also known as Fu Rui, so it is passed down from generation to generation, and the scriptures are often annotated, which is the little magic that God has given to the rulers of the world to express their satisfaction. This is the transmission of God's will, and the people of the world believe it very much, and the types of auspicious places are also extremely diverse. For example, the wind and rain are smooth, such as the rice grows and the double spike, such as the sweet spring from the ground and so on.
Xiangrui is divided into five levels, except for those like the unicorn that can't be found at all. Classified among Jiarui, the rest of the ranks are Da Rui, Shang Rui, Zhong Rui, and Xia Rui.
The white wolf and white fox are Shangrui, the blue bird and the red goose are Xiarui, and the so-called "Jingxing Qingyun" in the place where Qin Tianjian Daxi reported is the colorful cloud in the sky, which ...... But the real Da Rui, and the name is embedded with the name of Qingguo, no matter how reserved and suspicious the Qingguo Emperor is, it seems that he is beginning to flutter. After all, the emperor is also a human being, and he always likes to be patted on the back.
It's been a good year.
Since it is a good year, there can naturally be no war, with auspiciousness as the call, the state exchanges between the Northern Qi and Nanqing have to be close, especially the marriage between the two countries immediately, the prince and the grand duke of the Northern Qi will have a cave room. The Northern Qi side sent a fairly large number of missions.
And to the shock and brilliance of the people of Nanqing, the Northern Qi national teacher was bitter. He even went south with the mission to be a witness to this big wedding!
The status of the Great Grandmaster of Bitter Lotus in the world is so transcendent, he is not only one of the top great masters, but also Tianyi also faintly influences the sacrificial temples everywhere, and the ascetics who walk in the four fields, although the temple has never been involved in the world. But this kind of implicit prestige has long exceeded the influence of a martial arts peak.
And so it goes. Although Qingren is proud and glorious, but the reception matters have to be redrafted, Ye Liuyun Yehe is nowhere to be found, and he can really receive the same reception, but it seems that only the Emperor Qingguo is left, but if the emperor comes forward in person, the officials of Qingguo Honglu Temple do not have such courage.
In the end, the Queen Mother couldn't see the panic of the officials below, and came forward to end the matter, and still had the rules of Zhuang Mohan, inviting Master Kuhe into the palace, and she was responsible for the reception.
Unexpectedly, when the Kuhe national teacher arrived in Kyoto, he politely declined the invitation and lived in the Qing Temple, which was also in line with his identity.
After all, it is a generation of great masters, although the two countries are different, Qingren still shows enough respect, and the salute is curious, and people all over the world speculate that although the marriage between the two countries is a big deal, it is impossible to alarm his old man, right?
A few days after the Northern Qi delegation entered Beijing, the true purpose of Kuhe's visit to the Southern Dynasty seemed to be revealed.
It turned out that the emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty personally wrote a letter of state, saying that he was willing to reconcile with Nanqing and extend the agreement drafted last year for 10,000 years.
Such an important negotiation, of course, requires Kuhe to be in charge in person, Emperor Qingguo held the letter of his northern colleague in his hand, muttered for a few days, and finally nodded slightly, I am afraid that he also saw the bitter lotus.
As soon as the news came out, the world was jubilant, even if the Qingren were still martial, but after all, it was also a day of peace, but the military was faintly angry, feeling that now that the imperial court was strong, it was a great opportunity to dominate the world, so why bother putting a few pieces of paper on their heads? Although it was not heavy, it always made it a little difficult to breathe.
However, the military leader of the old Qin family saw the world clearly and didn't care about it, and only occasionally said to the people closest to him: "Now the speed of recovery of Northern Qi is unexpected, and it is always difficult to use troops in a few years, this agreement is just a few pieces of paper, and it will be torn up when the time comes, didn't His Majesty the Emperor never do this kind of thing back then?"
And the other purpose of Kuhe's southward trip to Kyoto made all the Kyoto officials and people fall through the glasses, and he wanted to accept Fan Shangshu's only daughter, Miss Fan, as an apprentice!
The reason for the bitter lotus national teacher is also sufficient, saying that in the months before and after the intersection of yin and yang, the sky is auspicious, it is the sense of benevolence of the heart of heaven, and the day is to adhere to the theory of the unity of heaven and man, and to do personnel in response to the heart of heaven, and to choose the wonderful and careful cultivation of the world, and to seek happiness for the people, which is the right way. Since it is a move of Fengtian, of course, it is not limited to the national land, there is auspicious rui in the Northern Qi Dynasty, so it is accepted as a disciple, and Xiangrui in the south is present, and he naturally wants to accept another apprentice, so he went to Kyoto in person.
The matter of Tianyi Sect Master Kuhe's reopening of the mountain gate has spread all over the world last year, but Nanqing people have never thought that this matter will have anything to do with them, where did they think that Tianyi's closed female disciple would fall in Kyoto.
As for why he chose Miss Fan, it has become a question in everyone's minds, not too many people will think of Fan Xian who is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, after all, no matter how arrogant and powerful Fan Xian is, he is not capable of instructing the Kuhe National Master to work for his own benefit.
Kuhe did not explain the criteria for selecting disciples, but only spread rumors through some of the eunuchs who were in charge of serving. People only know that it turns out that the Kuhe National Teacher was in Kyoto and once stood silently at the entrance of the Tai Hospital for half a day. After the incident, a certain woman in the Taoist Academy is kind and gentle, intelligent, and really good material.
Day. Fan Ruoruo is "interning" in Tai Hospital, and with the nursing knowledge and medical ethics she has learned in the past few months, she carefully takes care of the critically ill patients in the hospital.
There is a saying in this world called "civil and military have no borders", and the students of Zhuang Mohan in Northern Qi are all in Qingguo as big officials. The Northern Qi National Teacher Kuhe wanted to accept the Qing people as apprentices, and the Qing people would only feel the brilliance, and would not give birth to other feelings, so the people did not have much reaction, but were a little optimistic.
Just bitter lotus
The hand apprentice was originally a big deal, and it was a young lady from an official eunuch. Naturally, he had to ask for the opinions of the elders in the other party's family, and even Fan Jian didn't dare to make up his mind about this matter. I have to go to the palace to ask for His Majesty's will.
In the heavy palace, Emperor Qingguo sat on the dragon chair and frowned slightly, and after being silent for a long time, he only asked one sentence: "An Zhi doesn't like Hongcheng so much?"
Fan Jian was frightened and didn't know how to speak.
A smile flashed in the emperor's eyes, but he was also surprised by the length of Fan Xian's hands and feet. The energy is so great, and I feel that Kuhe loves the woman named Begonia too much. It was not a problem, and he banished Fan Xian to Jiangnan, so he always felt a little guilty, so he waved his hand and agreed to this proposal.
Soon after the eldest prince got married, Kuhe threw down the mission and left Beijing with Fan Ruoruo.
In this way, the marriage between the Fan family and the Jingwang family was postponed indefinitely, just to see when it would really die. Li Hong, the son of King Jing, was placed under house arrest at home, and when he heard the bad news, he almost vomited blood. After King Jing knew about this, he entered the palace and made a big fuss, and finally provoked the queen mother to come forward and appeased him.
But after King Jing returned to the house, he finally couldn't swallow this breath, and led a gardener in the palace to rush directly to the Fan Shangshu Mansion, which has been friends for generations, whether it is the front house or the back house, the mess was smashed all over the place, and the entire Fan Mansion was smashed into a dilapidated garbage dump, destroying countless antiques that Fan Jian had treasured for many years, and driving the Fan Mansion girls to lose their faces. In the end, King Jing punched Fan Shangshu in a hurry to return to the house, and imprinted a black mark, and then arrogantly led the troops back to the house to relieve the evil spirit in his chest.
βββββββββββββββββββββ
In the south of the Yangtze River, by the West Lake, there is no lotus in early spring, and the drizzle is like a line.
Fan Xian and his entourage have been living in Hangzhou for nearly a month, although it is claimed to be a vacation, but in the south of the Yangtze River, where spring is approaching, he just stays like this, of course, there is a deeper meaning. These days, the branch of the Supervisory Yuan in Jiangnan has begun to operate in full force, and no longer has to handle any affairs through Kyoto, as in the past, but directly to the manor by the West Lake.
This manor has become the second power center of the Supervisory Yuan, in addition to the Kyoto Shoin.
Regarding the situation of the officials in Jiangnan Road, the detailed rules of the Ming family and those salt merchants, and the movements of the inner library in recent months, they were all summarized by the officials sitting in the manor, and then reported to Fan Xian. There is no geographical distance, and the control of Jiangnan by the upper echelons of the Supervision Yuan has been further increased, but because the Ming family reacted extremely quickly, as early as last autumn, they had already started to arrange, and the Ming family itself was a local giant clan, and the people appointed were all family members, so the level of nails planted in the courtyard was not enough, and too useful information was obtained.
On the contrary, the Jiangnan Water Village, which was ambushed in Shazhou, began to play an unexpected role for Fan Xian at this time, Xia Qifei was far-sighted, and had long thought about recapturing the Ming family, and had been preparing for many years, so he had a much more detailed grasp of the Ming family's shipping channels and related information than the Supervision Yuan.
The Ming family has been strangely quiet, but I heard that there has been an upper-level party in Suzhou City, obviously for Fan Xian's arrival, but that meeting was very secret, and the Supervision Yuan did not find any news.
However, with Fan Xian's status and the three princes he was nominally disciplining, neither the Ming family nor many officials on Jiangnan Road had the courage to take the lead in provoking him. As for Yun Zhilan in Dongyi City, they were just characters who came to support the Ming family, who would have thought that Fan Xian would launch a dog chase operation so unreasonably.
An immortal who lives in the world may be able to hide in the market for a long time, but a group of immortals cannot completely hide their whereabouts no matter what. Peng's Manor, which had been uninhabited all year round, suddenly had more people living there. Whether it is the purchase of grain, fruits and vegetables, or the entry of those precious daily necessities, it falls in the eyes of people in Hangzhou. I can guess the slightest.
So after more than ten days, the news that Fan Teis was in Hangzhou had spread all over Jiangnan Road, but he hid in the manor to avoid guests. Hangzhou Zhizhou came to the door once, but was also politely and resolutely denied by the janitor, and everyone knew that Fan Tisi was still on vacation and didn't want to be disturbed.
However, everyone is also speculating, what is Fan Xian preparing for being quiet for so long? He is quiet, and the people in the officialdom are only forced to be quiet. The number of people who sent gifts to the big boat on the river did not decrease, and the Ming family also moved out of the other houses on the edge of the West Lake very respectfully, for fear of shocking the purity of Lord Tisi.
The West Lake Manor is quiet, but it has attracted the attention of countless people.
......
......
There is a flat boat floating on the lake, and two young men who look like scholars are sitting on the bow and tail of the boat, with a low table resting in the middle, on which are light fruits and vegetables and Jiangnan water wine. It's very chic.
The two of them were Fan Xian and Begonia after the disguise, and they didn't smear some flour or anything like that on their faces. It's just that Fan Xian skillfully picked some of the corners of his eyebrows, and slightly raised the tail of his eyebrows up with his rubber hands, and as soon as his eyebrows changed, the appearance of the two people suddenly changed a lot, if it wasn't for a familiar person, he would definitely not recognize them.
At this time, the boat was slowly moving in a remote corner of the West Lake. After the light rain stopped today, the air on the lake was very fresh.
These days. Fan Xian often boats on the lake with Begonia, on the one hand, he loves the lake and mountains here, and on the other hand, Fan Xian first learned the heart of the earth, according to Haitang, to always be close to nature, with the vitality of heaven and earth to repair the meridians in the body.
It is also mysterious, after Fan Xian practiced the Tianyi Mental Method, he no longer contained qi in the snowy mountains, but turned to the dantian, and those bits and pieces of true qi were like a touch of fresh taste, slowly moistened on the walls of his meridians, moistening the dry and damaged meridians, on top of the West Lake, close to the natural beauty, there was a slightly cool lake reflecting the white clouds and blue sky, and there were slight sparse mountains and forests under the mountain on the side, and the mental practice was really a lot faster.
Fan Xian believed that what Miss Begonia said was reasonable, but he knew that the more critical reason was that his true qi circulation was one more than that of ordinary martial arts practitioners.
With his eyes closed, he was half-lying on the bow of the boat, his right hand was on the side of the boat intentionally or unintentionally, and his fingertips seemed to touch the slightly waving lake, and a faint and even imperceptible true qi slowly overflowed from his fingertips, and then retracted softly when it touched the lake, flowing into his body, causing the fingertips to vibrate fine ripples on the surface of the lake.
Begonia paddled her sculls gently, a pair of bright eyes like a lake, paying attention to Fan Xian's fingertips, her brows furrowed slightly, and she sighed secretly, thinking about this in front of her
Young people's understanding and chance are really rare in the world, like the current scene, the true qi is separated from the body, contaminated with the breath of nature, it is obviously a phenomenon of the third layer of Tianyi's mind, although he is known as a genius in the world, but when he realized this realm, he has been practicing for five years, and Fan Xian ...... It's only been a dozen days!
Although Fan Xian's realm is now much higher than when she first started, and her comprehension ability is much stronger, but entering the realm so quickly, it still makes Begonia feel a trace of wonder and fear, Fan Xian is now a master of both the north and the south, and he holds great power in his hands, and he has a good reputation among the people in the world, such a person, if he ...... in the future If he has entered the evil path, who can control him?
In fact, Fan Xian's comprehension in martial arts is far inferior to Begonia, and the reason why practicing Tianyi's mental method can be so smooth is that Haitang taught it without concealing it on the side, on the other hand, it was Fan Xian's foundation of true qi when he was a child, and the third point is that Fan Xian is very familiar with the way this kind of true qi goes and comes back, he is a stingy person, but he happens to cater to Tianyi's cultivation method.
As if sensing that Begonia was thinking something, Fan Xian woke up from meditation, slowly opened his eyes, looked at Begonia with a smile, and said, "Don't worry, if I really want to break the contract, the Northern Qi man you brought to Jiangnan." I'm not going to expose him to that many things. β
In his agreement with Haitang, or to be precise, the agreement between Fan Xian and the Northern Qi royal family, after the fall of the eldest princess. The goods smuggled from the inner warehouse to the north will still not decrease, and there will be a great improvement in quality and grade, even including some goods that are strictly forbidden to leave the country, Fan Xian agreed to the requirements of the Northern Qi people.
It's wonderful. The Northern Qi people brought by Haitang to the south of the Yangtze River are an official of the Northern Qi Imperial Court, as the head of the household department, but also the secretary of the Ministry of Industry. Know the structure of weapons, and be more proficient in cargo inspection. Haitang brought him to take charge of the transaction with Nanqing Neiku, which was really a very appropriate choice.
"I'm a very committed person. Fan Xian looked at Haitang and said, "I will definitely do what I promised you in the capital city." β
"So do we. Begonia smiled slightly, let go of the oar handle, and let the boat cross the lake without an owner. said: "You should have received the news, the teacher has left Kyoto with Miss Fan." β
Don't wait for Fan Xian to speak. She continued: "Fan Sizhen has also begun to gradually take over the Cui family's property left in my court, you should know that if it weren't for Your Majesty's nod, these would have been collected into the treasury and would not have become your private property. β
Fan Xian shook his head and said, "The Cui family was originally my Daqing people, even if he was arrested. Of course, it should also be taken over by our Daqing people. β
Haitang ignored his strong words and continued: "And I also brought the mental method to you according to my words. I don't think we have anything to fault about the content of the first part of the agreement. β
Fan Xian nodded, this was a deal that was extremely beneficial to both parties, but he didn't know why he trusted the Northern Qi people so much. Haitang didn't seem to understand this either, and frowned and said, "Anzhi, you sent your sister and brother to Shangjing, don't say that you did it unintentionally...... Why is that?"
Fan Xian smiled, knowing that the other party had finally noticed something, but it was impossible to answer her directly, did he want to tell a foreigner that he was very worried that His Majesty the Emperor would suddenly make a big reshuffle one day, so he would leave some hands in other countries in this world?
He waved his hand and said, "What's this, as long as our agreement continues to be fulfilled, I believe that it will be you and the ...... His Majesty the Little Emperor will protect my family. β
Haitang raised his eyebrows and said, "If the matter is revealed, how will you face the people up and down in Qingguo?"
"There is no shame in the face. Fan Xian smiled and said: "Although I don't think I am a traitor, people will definitely think that I am the biggest traitor." β
Begonia smiled, speechless to confess her ruffian temperament. Fan Xian then smiled: "Besides, for this world, I don't mind being an internationalist. β
......
......
"The auspicious Rui from all over Qingguo, are you doing it?" asked Haitang with his head down.
Fan Xian did not deny that the things in Wuzhou, Shazhou and other places were naturally done by the Supervision Yuan, as for Jingxing Qingyun observed by Qin Tianjian...... Don't forget, the predecessor Qin Tianjian is a native of the second prince, and he has been invited to drink tea by the Supervision Yuan on a dark and windy night in a month, and he has not been released until today.
He thought in his heart, the little emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty is making three white leaves on the top of the north, and there are few beasts on the snowy mountains on my side, but the whole auspicious clouds come out, and they can always suppress you, and in the secret letter from His Majesty, he is obviously quite satisfied with his arrangement, and there is a sense of pride between the lines.
"His Majesty the Emperor of Qingguo......" Haitang pondered the wording: "Although he has rarely come forward in these years, everyone in the world knows that His Majesty is talented, especially this time the teacher accepted your sister as a closed disciple, it is hard to say that he will not guess anything." β
Fan Xian nodded: "I can't hide these things from Your Majesty, as a courtier, I won't hide them, and I have already written a secret recital to submit related matters." β
Haitang was slightly surprised and said, "You are above board, so what will you not say?"
Fan Xian frowned, and said very seriously: "For example, moving the silver from the inner treasury to your own house, this kind of thing, of course, is not too embarrassed to tell Your Majesty." β
The boat fell silent again, and the lake was silent again. Fan Xian looked at the slightly sad begonia, and found that half a year later, the girl's temperament seemed to have changed slightly.
In the face of Begonia, in fact, Fan Xian is a little faintly uneasy, in these days of getting along from last year to today, he inherits the principle of remembering the heart, tries to be frank in the interaction, treats each other sincerely, and even says some naΓ―ve words, on the one hand, he really cherishes Begonia as a friend, on the other hand, he wants to influence this woman from the heart and get a powerful boost - the starting point is with interests, which makes him a little ashamed.
There was a rapid sound of horses' hooves on the lakeside, Fan Xian looked back, and saw a horse galloping on the stone road by the lake, driving brightly to the gate of Peng's Zhuangyuan, where no official dared to come to the door again for many days.
