Chapter 257: In the autumn of that year, enjoy the plum terrace
Today's Northwest cultivation world, to a certain extent, has become Xiao Yu's private residence, especially in the case of the Northwest Army's wanton military mobilization, many cultivators have either been conscripted into the army or invited to the palace, as for those who can't be called, there are masters in the Northwest Dao Gate to clean up.
As a place of a hundred battles, the northwest is a blank space in the cultivation world, there are no sects, most of them are some helpless scattered cultivators, so under Xiao Yu's strong hand, the entire northwest cultivation world was quickly integrated and unified, and most of the cultivators became the king's mansion guests.
Since ancient times, there have been many examples of practitioners driven by the powerful, because the practice pays attention to the four conditions of wealth, law, couple, and land, wealth refers to all kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures and all kinds of items needed for practice, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources to collect, and the law refers to the practice of the law, the couple is the Taoist couple, and the earth is the blessed land and the cave, among which "wealth" is the most important, and the worldly magnates, the most important thing is financial resources, and the loose cultivators who do not have the sect to rely on will devote themselves to the powerful and take what they need from the magnates. Because the proprietor also established the Tianji Pavilion at the beginning of the dynasty, he deposed the position of the national teacher, but in the Great Chu Dynasty, the national teacher was the No. 1 guest secretary of Tianzi supported by the emperor, which can be described as the ultimate guest secretary in the world.
The Taoist sect also has the position of guest qing, but it is for those who bring art to invest in the teacher, or from other sects to the Taoist cultivators, and even in the heyday of the Taoist sect, the position of guest is used as a reward, specially awarded to non-Taoist practitioners who have meritorious service to the Taoist sect, from this point it can also be seen that the Taoist sect, which is the first of the major sects in the cultivation world, is indeed called tolerant.
From the beginning of Xiao Yu's Northern Expedition to the change of Taiqing Palace, the palace has gathered nearly 100 guests, including 32 people in the Empty Netherworld Realm, 16 people in the Frost Realm, and the rest are all in the Harmony Realm that does not enter the stream. After the change of the Taiqing Palace, Xiao Yu set out to repair the large array left by the proprietor when he built the palace, so as not to prevent any free immortal who could not afford to lose in the future directly came to the door and took out his anger on his daughter-in-law and son. And these casual cultivation are the best "coolies" for the restoration array, and under the leadership of the Taoist real person Jin Chen, the initial restoration work began.
Yahsheng said, "He who labors governs man, and he who labors governs man." Those who govern eat people, and those who govern eat people, and the common meaning of the world is also. At this time, Xiao Yu, the ruler of people, sat in his study for a long time, and set the long-term plan and the first three-year plan of the Northwest Palace in a few words.
These things seem to be very big, but for Xiao Yu after all, they are still small things, and what can really be regarded as a big thing is still the matter of Lan Yu and the Taoist sect being negotiated, which is dangerous, Lan Yu has already told Xiao Yu that whether to continue or not will still have to wait for Xiao Yu to make his own decision.
The left hand is "seeking wealth and danger", and the right hand is "the son of a daughter can't sit down", according to reason, Xiao Yu has gone through the stage of seeking wealth and danger, and he should have started to pay attention to the son of a daughter who can't sit down, but the battle with Xiao Lie in March was of far-reaching significance, and Xiao Yu had to fight.
This battle is related to a question of right and wrong between father and son for nearly ten years.
It seems ridiculous to use the force of the fist to decide right and wrong, but it is actually not ridiculous.
Success or defeat, no matter how simple a sentence is, speaks the essence of countless rights and wrongs throughout the ages.
Moreover, in this matter, everyone is justified, and it is impossible to distinguish who is right from wrong when reasoning.
Since Xiao Yu and Xiao Lie, father and son, both acquiesced to using this method to decide whether the two sides were right or wrong, then whoever wins is right, and whoever loses is wrong.
Indisputable.
In this case, if Xiao Yu should not fight, then he will lose and be wrong.
Xiao Yu never thought that he was wrong, so he must not lose.
In the final analysis, it is still necessary to make dangerous moves, but it is not to seek wealth and danger, but to seek right and wrong.
After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Yu wrote a long letter to Lan Yu, in which he asked in detail about the feasibility of this method, and asked Xu Zhenzhi to return to Zhongdu and interview him.
Since Xiao Yu wrote this letter, he has a certain number in his heart, and he no longer thinks about whether to do it or not, but thinks about how to minimize the risk.
After Xiao Yu handed over the letter to the ghost, it was already dark at night. Xiao Yu put on a cloak, went out of Shouxinzhai and came to the Lingfeng Pavilion, looking up at the bright moon in the sky, and looking down at the middle capital under his feet.
At this time, it is the beginning of the month, and the bright moon is already the crescent moon.
Xiao Yu looked at this crescent moon and was a little stunned, remembering many things from the past.
When he was young, his mother used to open the window and tell him poems about the moon in front of a bright moon, which were not famous poems, but were made by his mother and some close friends when she was not out of the cabinet. Now Xiao Yu can't remember the content of these poems clearly, but he vaguely remembers a sentence, "A little green light and a bending moon, tonight is much colder than yesterday." ”
Now that I think about it, it is very suitable for the situation, and it is similar to the cold in the high places.
The young man doesn't know the taste of sorrow, and he is worried about the new words. Now I know all the sorrows, but the weather is cool and autumn. Xiao Yu used to read poetry, and always felt that these literati were good at moaning without illness, and the impression of these words was only pale and powerless, but later, after experiencing more things in the world, he slowly tasted the true meaning of the words.
Xiao Yu closed his eyes and tightened the cloak on his body.
Sure enough, it was a deep chill.
The sound of a woman's footsteps outside the door was slight, but it was distinctly clear in the silence of the night.
Not long after, the door of Lingfeng Pavilion was pushed open from the outside, and it turned out to be Lin Yinping, who was carrying a lantern in her hand, and she was also wearing a heavy cloak.
She saw Xiao Yu sitting here alone, frowned slightly, and said slightly: "The northwest is not as good as the south of the Yangtze River, now is the time when the weather is cold and can freeze people to death, your body is just right, it's not good to rest at night, what are you doing here?"
Xiao Yu didn't answer positively, but changed the topic and said, "Xuan'er is asleep?"
Lin Yinping glanced at him, "Do you think Lingbao is like you?" I don't sleep in the middle of the night, watching the moon here." ”
Xiao Yu got up and approached, stretched out his hand to tighten the tie of her cloak, and said softly: "After a while, I may go to the Taoist Sect, and there are some things that must be thought out and arranged in advance." ”
Lin Yinping choked slightly, lowered his head, and said in a muffled voice: "I know that you are an idle person." ”
Xiao Yu stretched out his hand to hold her, lowered his head, and whispered in her ear: "I won't be busy for much longer, if everything goes well, I will take you to Meishan in March this year." ”
Lin Yinping raised her head suddenly, and the steps on her bun shook violently, just like her mood at this moment, and the shock on her face couldn't be hidden.
What does it mean for her to naturally clear Meishan, Xiao Yu's mother Fang Xuan is buried here, and Xiao Yu also mentioned to her that when he was still trapped in the Eastern Capital, he had to go to Meishan to pay tribute to his deceased mother during the New Year's holidays.
Meishan is very different from Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu also raised his head and said slowly: "In the autumn of the thirty-seventh year of Zhengming, I went to sweep my mother's grave, and at that time I promised in front of her grave that I would take her daughter-in-law back to see her in the future. ”
Although the two have been married for a long time, and now they even have children, and Fang Xuan has been dead for many years, when Lin Yinping heard this, there was still an inexplicable apprehension in his heart when the new daughter-in-law first saw her in-laws.
Then Lin Yinping silently calculated in his heart, in the autumn of the thirty-seventh year of Zhengming, at that time, she seemed to have arrived in the Eastern Capital with the grassland mission, and she also climbed Meishan on a drizzly day.
Lin Yinping suddenly remembered an anecdote he had seen on Meishan.
She smiled: "I also went to Meishan in the autumn of that year, although I didn't meet you, but I heard someone make a poem in the plum viewing platform, which is very interesting." ”
Xiao Yu asked curiously, "What poem?"
Lin Yinping said word by word: "Jun is hidden for fame and fortune, and he is for fame and fortune." How can you see the face of the king, and enjoy the plum platform today?"
Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, his face was strange.
