Zhang Yuelu had already understood: "There is no other day." ”

Qi Xuansu hesitated: "Uncle is talking about the imperial court?" ”

Zhang Kuqi smiled indifferently: "In the previous Great Wei Dynasty, Confucianism hid behind the scenes to manipulate the imperial court, and if it was slightly unsatisfactory, the emperor was replaced, and the so-called emperor was just a puppet in the hands of Confucianism. ”

"Confucianism penetrated deeply into the Great Wei court, and Confucianism did not come forward directly, but restrained the royal family through civil officials on the surface and many covert means. In the previous dynasties, Taizu and Taizong were fine, and the nobles who were attached to the royal family were powerful and could be equal to civil officials. Starting with Renzong and Xuanzong, civil officials gradually suppressed military attachés and nobles. In the three dynasties of Xianzong, Xiaozong, and Wuzong, the civil power reached its peak, and in addition to Xianzong, the deaths of Xiaozong and Wuzong were inseparable from Confucianism. For example, the judgment of the Tai Hospital at that time was a meticulous work placed by Confucianism in the royal family, and two generations of emperors were healed in his hands, but he was able to retreat with his whole body, and the official department was at odds with him, but it was the official department who was known as the heavenly official who lost his official position. ”

"Emperor Sejong is a foreign vassal who succeeded to the unification, he was not born in the deep palace, he grew up in the hands of a woman, he is the brother of the earth master Xu Wugui, and his intelligence is not under Xu Wugui. But even Emperor Sejong had to be subject to the hands of Confucianism. ”

"Sejong's teacher, who is also his mastermind, made great contributions to Sejong's ascension to the throne, and Sejong promoted him from the governor of the palace to the elder of the cabinet and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but he died of a violent illness in four months."

"Sejong ascended the throne at the age of fourteen, and had no children for more than ten years, so he had to seek help from people from the Daomen and take the Daomen pill, and only then did he have his first son at the age of twenty-six. If Sejong hadn't sought help from the Daomen, wouldn't he have followed in the footsteps of Emperor Wuzong who had no children to succeed to the throne? But even so, the eldest son and the second son also died one after another. Sejong had eight sons and five daughters under his knees, and when Sejong died at the age of six, only one son and one daughter remained, and the remaining eleven people all died. Even in ordinary people's homes, there are not so many children who die young. ”

In addition, Sejong was also assassinated by the palace change, almost died, when Sejong was dying, everyone excused themselves from the crime and did not act, wanting to sit back and watch Sejong die, fortunately there was a real person surnamed Daomen who risked death to save him, so as to turn the crisis into safety. Just a few months later, the Daomen real man died violently, but the cause of death was death from fright. ”

"As for the palace fire and falling into the water, there are countless things."

"All this, once it was a coincidence, twice it was a coincidence, and every time it was like this, is it still a coincidence?"

It can be seen that Confucianism has a deep control over the imperial court. However, the emperors also fought back, from the Qingluan Weidu Governor's Mansion to the eunuchs of the inner court, and then to the introduction of Daomen for foreign aid, which was regarded as a mutual victory and defeat with Confucianism, which suppressed Confucianism to a certain extent, and the various sects of Daomen were able to participate in court politics, laying the foundation for Daomen to replace Confucianism in the future. ”

Zhang Yuelu obviously knew this for a long time, and was not surprised, just drinking tea boringly.

However, it was the first time Qi Xuansu heard about it, and while he was shocked, he vaguely guessed what Zhang Yuqi was going to say.

The Confucian Sect manipulated the Great Wei Imperial Court behind the scenes, so how did the Daomen get along with the Great Xuan Imperial Court? How did the previous emperors of Daxuan view Daomen?

Qi Xuansu couldn't help repeating Zhang Yuelu's words: "There is no match in the sky." ”

Zhang Yuqi smiled: "There is only one sun in the sky, and there will never be a second sun, but in addition to the sun, there is also a moon in the sky." There is only one moon in the sky, and when it shines on the earth, it is everywhere. ”

Qi Xuansu learned a lot of things in the Vientiane School Palace, but he was heavy on martial arts and light on literature, and the ink in his stomach was not too much, but he still understood this sentence, because there was this in the Xuansheng card: "Uncle is talking about the truth of the Confucian science sage 'Moon Seal Wanchuan'?" ”

Zhang Yuqi glanced at Qi Xuansu appreciatively: "The moon is printed in ten thousand rivers, a moon hangs high in the night sky, but countless moons can be seen in the rivers and lakes in the world, and countless moons finally return to one moon." There is a Taiji in things, everyone has a Taiji, everything has a Taiji, there is a Taiji in everything, there is a Taiji from time to time, like the moon and ten thousand rivers, all the water appears in January, all the water is taken in the month of January, sprinkled in the rivers and lakes, and can be seen everywhere. ”

Qi Xuansu hesitated and said: "Uncle is saying that the Dao Gate is the moon, although it is hidden under the light of the sun, as long as there is a basin of water, another moon can be printed." ”

Zhang Yuqi said meaningfully: "What is the Daomen, I don't dare to make a presumptuous assertion, I'm afraid that several deputy sect masters don't dare to make a presumptuous assertion, but in the eyes of the imperial court, the Daomen is mostly like this." Can the mountains and rivers of the sun hold so many moons? ”

Qi Xuansu remembered what Zhang Yuelu once said, and borrowed it directly: "The court is the sun and yang, and the Taoist gate is the moon and yin." Yin and Yang become Taiji, you have me, I have you, so that you can be harmonious and complete, isn't this exactly the original intention of Xuansheng and Emperor Gaozu? ”

Zhang Yuelu, who was bowing her head to drink tea, heard familiar, and couldn't help but glance at Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu just didn't see it.

"But what if someone doesn't think so?" Zhang Yuqi asked rhetorically, "Or, does someone disagree with the original intention of Xuansheng and Emperor Gaozu?" ”

Qi Xuansu was speechless.

Zhang Yuelu said: "The practice of the truth must be done by force in the end. If you can't get the battlefield, no matter how much you debate the scriptures, it's useless. ”

Zhang Yuqi glanced at his daughter helplessly: "I can't talk about it." ”

Zhang Yuelu changed the topic and took out the piece of "Qianqiu Light Ink" he had prepared.

Although the two gifts were purchased by Zhang Yuelu, but after all, that one was given in the name of Qi Xuansu, Zhang Jiqi was hindered by the number of courtesies, so it was difficult to open it directly, but there was no need to pay much attention to his daughter's gift, Zhang Jiqi opened it directly, and his eyes lit up: "I heard your cousin say that you gave your brother-in-law a piece and haven't prepared a gift for her, she is very sad, and I am worried that you have forgotten me as a father." ”

Zhang Yuelu said: "Husband and wife are one, why should they be so clear, not to mention that my sister is rich and lacks nothing, just forget it." ”

"How can there be such a reason." Zhang Yuqi shook his head helplessly, "You are not good at this, you have to change it." ”

Zhang Yuelu was noncommittal, but she didn't resist.

Obviously, the relationship between father and daughter does not follow the Confucian style of father and son.

Zhang Yuqi said apologetically: "Tianyuan, you wait here, I'll go to the study." ”

"Uncle, please take care of yourself." Qi Xuansu got up and said.

"That's right, I'll take the present." Zhang Yuelu took the gift that was put aside and followed behind her father.

Zhang Kuqi didn't refuse, their family is really not the kind of family that eats Zhong Mingding, it is true that there are servants, but they are only responsible for ordinary housework, and many small things within their power are done by themselves.

Qi Xuansu sat alone in the living room.

Not long after, Zhang Yuelu's father and daughter did not come back, but two women came in from outside.

One of them, Qi Xuansu recognized, was Zhang Yuyue. The other woman is much older, and she is similar to Zhang Yuelu, but her body is far more indifferent than Zhang Yuelu, which is not the rejection of the cold beauty thousands of miles away, but the utilitarianism of missing the pulse and warmth. On the other hand, Zhang Yuelu, whether she is bookish or innocent, always has an ideal romantic color, less indifference and more enthusiasm.

This is the famous Mrs. Tantai Qiong. Not only are they two extremes with Zhang Yuelu in terms of temperament, but they are also two extremes with Zhang Yuqi in their attitude towards Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu never expected that he would meet this great enemy in such a narrow situation.

Taiqiong waved her hand at Zhang Yuyue.

Zhang Yuyue understood, and after glancing at Qi Xuansu with gloating, she turned around and left here, leaving only Qi Xuansu and Taiqiong in the living room.

Qi Xuansu had already gotten up and saluted respectfully.

Tang Taiqiong didn't have any arrogance, and said straight to the point: "Qi Xuansu, Qi Tianyuan, right?" If I'm not mistaken, you are twenty-four years old this year, born in the first year of the Bingzi year of the Vientiane Dao Palace, and you are currently the deacon of the Tiangang Hall Shaking Light Division, a seven-grade Taoist, and you will soon be promoted to a six-grade Taoist priest and enjoy the treatment of a fifth-grade Taoist. The cultivation of the jade void stage of the congenital people, that is, the jade tripod realm of the scattered people, lives at No. 18, Shibei Lane, Changzhen Street, Haichanfang, and the master is Qi Haoran, a Taoist priest of the Four Grades of Sacrifice, who has died, and is suspected of dying at the hands of the assassins of the 'Inn'. ”

Qi Xuansu nodded: "My aunt is very familiar with her back and has worked hard. ”

Tan Taiqiong's tone was calm, and she couldn't hear her joy or anger: "For an orphan from the Vientiane Dao Palace, in just four months, it is not easy to go from a seventh-grade Taoist priest to a fifth-grade Taoist priest. ”

Qi Xuansu has an anachronistic feeling, the psychology of fear is far more terrible than the fear itself, the fear before the knife falls is more than after the knife falls, before he didn't see Tangtaiqiong, he was always full of apprehension, but after really seeing Tangtaiqiong, he was a little relieved.

Qi Xuansu said: "It's really not easy, almost, my aunt won't be able to see me, and I can have one less heart disease." ”

Tan Taiqiong smiled and said: "Risks and opportunities always coexist, you not only stand in front of me alive, but also elevate a realm." A few more times, I'll have to look up to you, where do you dare to talk like that. ”

Qi Xuansu bowed and said, "Aunt is serious. ”

Tan Taiqiong was noncommittal: "Whether it is serious or not, let's not say it for the time being, but at this point, you are indeed very similar to Qingxiao, I say a word to her, she will pay me back, and she never wants to suffer." No wonder she takes a fancy to you, after all, things gather like people in groups. ”

Qi Xuansu couldn't tell whether Taiqiong's words were positive or negative for a while, so he had to remain silent.

However, Qi Xuansu still feels that there are more demeaning elements, where is this mother and daughter, it is clearly an enemy.

Tan Taiqiong said again: "Knowing the daughter Mo Ruomu, I thought that Qingxiao would find someone to bring to the house, fool me casually, and try to fool me through. She never wants to put more thought into this kind of thing, and even if she fools me, it is perfunctory. ”

"But there is no way, the child is too old to help others. She has entered the eyes of the earth master, and now she is the deputy hall master with real power, at the same level as me, even if she doesn't pass the test, as long as she can delay until the fifteenth day of the first month, she will continue to go back to Tiangang Hall to be her deputy hall master, and I am not the real person in charge of the hall, so I can't control her. ”

"But I didn't expect that she seemed to be serious, and it really gave me a big surprise."
