Chapter 86: The Beggars at the Door

"It's not nothing.,I found some side records of picking immortals in the accompanying notes before.,But it's all fifty years ago.,The records are ominous.,The source of the picking.,The origin is not recorded.,I heard that all the classics of the picking immortals are placed in the state religion.。 But the Holy Maiden won't let me see it. The little emperor changed his words and mentioned the state religion

"Fifty years ago? The origin of the immortal picking is so secret? The national teacher seemed to understand something at this time, and then said, "Or is it that the immortal picking only appeared fifty years ago?" Your Majesty can you lend those books to the ministers for reference? ”

"This ...... Those books are in the dormitory, and I have them taken for the national teacher to see. ”

After a while, the little eunuch came over with three thin booklets in his hand. The national teacher was not polite, stretched out his hand to take it, and then carefully began to read it, the national teacher's face slowly became solemn, and after reading it, his brows condensed into the word "Sichuan".

"National teacher, are you okay, what did you find?" When the little emperor saw the national teacher like this, he couldn't help but feel a little strange, he read these three books many times, but he didn't find any problems.

The national teacher put the three books back again: "Your Majesty, has anyone else seen these three books besides Your Majesty?" ”

"These three books were found by the three scholars of the Winning Pavilion, and no one should have seen them except them. National teacher, I have also read these books carefully, but they are just some wild historical strange theories, what did the national teacher discover? ”

"Your Majesty, the titles of these three volumes are "Records of Grievances", "The Actual Record of the Life of the Son of Heaven", and "The Art of War". Although there are only a few sentences written in it, it is too abnormal to have all three things. ”

Speaking of this national teacher, he stopped talking, and the little emperor seemed to have something to say when he saw him: "What does the national teacher have to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Seeing that the little emperor saw his application, the national teacher did not intend to hide it: "Your Majesty, the minister has some conjectures, but now there is no basis, but the minister has something that he wants His Majesty to solve for the minister." ”

"You say."

"Did anything happen to the Heavenly Family fifty years ago?"

After hearing this, the little emperor's eyes suddenly sharpened for a moment, and in just a moment, he quickly returned to his light and breezy appearance. After thinking for a moment, he said to the others, "Stand down, no one is allowed to come in without my will." ”

After hearing this, the eunuch and the palace maid hurriedly answered, and then withdrew. In the blink of an eye, there were only two people left in the palace, the little emperor and the national teacher.

The little emperor looked up at the roof, and suddenly laughed at a certain moment: "National teacher, can I trust you?" ”

The national teacher hurriedly knelt in front of the little emperor, and this time the little emperor did not support him, but asked again: "National teacher, can I really trust you?" ”

The national teacher responded: "The matter of the heavenly family is a secret, but if you don't get rid of the immortals for a day, the heavenly family will not be able to sleep and eat for a day." Your Majesty, you can fully trust the minister, and tomorrow the minister will move all his wives and children into the imperial capital. ”

After hearing this, the little emperor came over and personally helped the national teacher up: "National teacher, I hope you don't let me down." ”

After the national teacher got up, the little emperor said slowly: "Speaking of which, I didn't know about this for long, and when the first emperor told me, I was also shocked for a long time. ”

"Fifty years ago...... Fifty years ago, the Heavenly Family changed. ”

Fifty years ago, it was the former dynasty, and the last emperor of the previous dynasty was only in his twenties, and he was playful by nature. Internal affairs are controlled by foreign relatives. And the outside was controlled by the generalissimo of the world at that time. At that time, the marshal's surname was Feng, and if you talk about the relationship, he was the uncle of the founding emperor of this dynasty.

At that time, the world was in turmoil, Tatar, Xianbei, and Baiyue were eyeing each other, and the foreign policy of civil officials was basically to negotiate peace, whether it was peace with relatives, tribute, or land cession, as long as they could quell the war, they basically agreed to all of them, which made the territory of the first dynasty smaller and smaller.

At that time, Marshal Feng sat in the north, with 200,000 soldiers and horses, at the foot of Yan Mountain to block the invasion of the Tatars, although there were many defeats and few victories, but the soldiers became more and more courageous, Marshal Feng saw that the imperial court had no face, several times disobeyed the holy decree, sent troops to kill the enemy. Uncle Yang, a relative at that time, didn't dare to take Marshal Feng seriously, so he just issued a holy decree and condemned it.

But the world has been stormy, fifty-five years ago, Marshal Feng was embraced by the generals around him as the new master, since then in the name of the Qing monarch's side, raised troops to kill into the capital, at this time there are countless rebels in the world, after many years of fighting, only three forces are the most powerful.

In addition to Marshal Feng's hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, the other two are evenly matched. At that time, an army that rushed into Kyoto wanted to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but Marshal Feng was scheming and sent a letter to the world. threatened that the Son of Heaven would die, and he would slash the enemy. Then the army was slaughtered. The generals of that army were cornered, and led the remnants of their troops to the last of the rebels.

For three years, only these two forces were left in the world and began to fight each other. Marshal Feng originally relied on his strong soldiers and horses to steadily press the opponent, but the northern Tatars were ready to move. He had to divide his forces to deal with it. This gives the opposite side a chance to breathe. The world was finally bounded by the Jawlong River and divided into two.

At that time, the father of the founding emperor had already been made a general. He is one of Marshal Feng's henchmen. However, several generals under Marshal Feng were at odds with each other. Suddenly, one day, an old man in rags came to the door of the house to ask for a meeting, and the door was willing to let him in, and he hurriedly bombarded him.

This time is the day when the general returns home, and if the general sees such a noise in front of the door, he will not want his job. was booming, and it happened that the general came back with his son-in-law. As soon as I arrived at the door of the house, I saw that Menzi was pulling and pulling with a beggar-looking person, and I was stunned

"What are you doing, what kind of system is it becoming!"

Menzi originally came out to greet the general, but he didn't expect to be entangled by this beggar as soon as he went out. Menzi had no choice, so he told the matter back and forth. The general didn't look at the old man at all, he had been fighting for many years, and he had seen too many such beggar generals. Commanded

"Get rid of people, and you get out of here!"

After speaking, he didn't wait for the door to say anything, turned around and pulled his son-in-law to prepare to enter the house.

Menzi didn't dare to plead for himself with a sad face, but the old man laughed and said: "Young and ten thousand people, sit down and the southeast war is not over." Who is the opponent of the heroes of the world? The heroes of the world are ...... opponents"

The general only dismissed him as gossip and ignored him, but Childe stood still. pondered the old man's words carefully. Turned around and walked in front of the old man

"The old gentleman is teaching?"

The old beggar shook his head: "I am illiterate, let alone taught. ”

"Then what did the old gentleman mean by what he said just now? I'm a little stupid and don't know much, so please explain. "Childe is very self-contained, speaking with a humble attitude, and looking like a bargain.

The old beggar nodded secretly, and then showed a sly face: "Explanation, naturally it can be explained, but the old man is a little hungry now." Hey! ”

"It's me who is abrupt, old gentleman, please, follow me back to the house, and I will ask the cook to cook a meal for the old gentleman."

The old beggar heard that Gongzi was taking him back, but he shook his head and said: "Yangzhou has eight uniques, Sichuan and Shu have three treasures, and the imperial capital is three hundred and eighty-two. ”

"White rice?" Childe was a little strange, and he didn't know what medicine was sold in the old beggar's gourd.

"Yes, just a bowl of white rice, but the method must be done according to what I said, water with ancient springs night patrol, fire with charcoal refining jujube wood, steaming drawer divided into eight layers, chickens, ducks, fish, sheep, pigs, cattle and horses, a small bowl of rice steamed on the top. The old man wants to beg for such rice? ”

"The old gentleman knows about the Eight Treasure Rice?" Childe took a closer look at the old man, the old man was dressed in tatters, but his skin was shiny, his face was thin, his eyes were half-open, and he shot an inexplicable look.

The general next to him was a little impatient: "Son, what do you say to a broken old man, come back to the house with me." ”

Childe walked up to the general and bit his ear with him, who at first didn't care, then his face showed a little surprise, and then he didn't think so. But he finally nodded and went back on his own.

Childe walked up to the old man with a smile: "Old man, the white rice you wanted, I have already instructed the kitchen to start preparing, come back to the house with me first." ”

The old beggar nodded, said no more, and followed the son to the inner house.

This stay was three months, and in three months, the old beggar ordered a hundred and ten dishes, the main course was mediocre, but the side dishes were priceless things. The people in the house didn't understand his son's behavior, and they all spread that he picked up a father from the street and went home.

There were too many gossips, and they reached the ears of the general, although the general felt that his son was talented and intelligent since he was a child, and at a young age, he had already begun to help him with advice, and when he brought the old man back, he quietly told himself that this person might have a great background. But it's been three months, and the old man doesn't see any ability except for gluttony.

The general couldn't sit still, and one day he found Gongzi and asked, "Son, has this old man revealed anything to you?"

"Well, of course, it was revealed, but I haven't found out the origin of this person yet."

"Leaked? What did he say? ”

"Dad, have you heard about what he has eaten these days?"

"Naturally, I listened, if it was an ordinary three meals a day, I would naturally be too lazy to care, let alone one of him, even if there were ten more, it didn't matter. But he has to eat and drink every day, and some of them have never been eaten by your father. ”

"That's right, my dad hasn't eaten it, why does he know that he is an old beggar, for these three months, he has eaten every day without repeating, I have sorted out the names of the dishes for these three months, Dad, you see."

"The names of these dishes? Any articles? ”

"If I didn't guess, this person ordered the first seat in the imperial court dinner, and he wouldn't eat it at a non-state banquet. This old man seems to have something to do with the previous dynasty. I sent someone out to inquire, but no news has come back. ”
