Chapter 30: The Truth of the Year

Xuanzhen view is located in the southeast corner of Xishan Mountain, it is one of the famous views of Shenjing, in the late Yuan Dynasty it was prominent for a while, after Emperor Taizu ascended the throne, believe in Buddhism, plus the Yongle Emperor after that, Xuanzhen view gradually lost the former grandeur, but also in the change of the civil fort was burned down, after the holy ancestor returned to the capital, Xuanzhen view and Qingxu view were repaired by the imperial court together, because the war of the year caused the Xuanzhen view of incense to be cut off, so far has not restored the grand occasion of the past, plus there is a clear view of the void on the side, the Xuanzhen view will slowly decline.

One of the biggest characteristics of the Xuanzhen view is that it follows the fate and opens the mountain gate widely, therefore, the structure of the children in the view is complex, but they are all people who sincerely seek the Tao, unlike the Qingxu Temple, especially Zhang Daoshi who wanders in the homes of noble and high-ranking officials all day long, and he also tells people to pull the red line when he has nothing to do, and he looks like a moon old man who is in the mortal world.

Coming out of the imperial city, Jia Jing did not return home, but first went to Xuanzhen outside the city to see Jia Jing, and he wanted to ask the truth from Jia Jing's mouth.

There was a chanting sound in a side hall on the mountain behind Xuanzhen Temple, and Jia Jing stood outside the hall and looked at Jia Jing silently through the window.

Jia Jing, as in the past, sat cross-legged on the futon, closed his eyes and silently recited the scriptures, and suddenly, he heard a voice from outside the door, "Uncle Jing! ”

“....”

Jia Jing opened his eyes suddenly.

Jia Jue strode in and saluted Jia Jing, "Nephew to see uncle." ”

Jia Jing didn't move, as if he was talking to Jia Jue, and as if he was talking to himself, "Those who gain time prosper, and those who lose time die." Where the clouds are thick, the rain will be fierce, and those who are strong in the bow will be far away. Rushing can't make a big deal...."

Hearing this, a trace of surprise passed over Jia Jue's face, but it quickly disappeared, and after thinking sharply for a moment, he asked directly: "Uncle, what happened in the Hetao War forty years ago?" Why was Jingying defeated? How did my grandfather die? Also, Why did Emperor Wuzong fall into the water and die? ”

Hearing this, Jia Jing's body shook obviously, and then he read the scriptures faster and faster, and his voice became louder and louder....

Jia Jue looked at Jia Jing quietly, sighed for a while, and said, "Today in the study, Your Majesty mentioned the events of the year again.... It's going to be windy, the nephew can't be a chess piece in someone else's hands in a daze, and the Jia family can't become a stepping stone on the road to success for others. My father said that the defeat of the Jingying was related to the civil official group and the Zhongshun Palace, and now my nephew not only offended the Zhongshun Palace, but also received a hot errand.... If you can't know the truth of the year, you can't be prepared...."

Jia Jing's face was solemn, his eyes looked at the incense burner in front of him, and said: "What happened back then, I don't know very clearly, I only know that the sudden death of Wuzong has a lot to do with the defeat of the Hetao, the Jia family was deeply trusted by Emperor Wuzong, your grandfather and brothers controlled the 150,000 army of the Beijing camp, and the king of Zhongshun was only a small general under their command, the collapse of the army in the Hetao War I was too sudden, if it wasn't for your grandfather who led the old camp to withstand the raid of the Warat people, it is impossible to say that the main force of the Beijing camp would all be lost in the Hetao, Although the Warats were finally repulsed, the 3,000 battalions also suffered great losses, and 15,000 elite veterans were collected less than 3,000 after the battle.

In that battle, the noble line suffered heavy losses, and all the successors who had been trained hard were lost on the battlefield, because of the sudden death of Wu Zong, the reason behind the defeat of the Hetao was not investigated at all, but there was gossip that it was the artillery position of the Shenji Battalion that was raided by the Warat people that led to the rout of the army, which was too abnormal, not to mention that the Shenji Battalion had its own cavalry, but also two battalions of sword and shield men and thousands of firecrackers, how could it be instantly defeated by the Warats? ”

Jia Jing stood up at this time, took two steps, and said meaningfully: "Back then, Jingying didn't go to Hetao to fight against the Warat people, I heard that it was to respond to a tribe attached to Warat, and this matter has a lot to do with the Zhongshun Palace. ”

When Jia Jue heard this, he subconsciously asked, "Is it the descendant of Yingzong left on the grassland?" ”

Jia Jing turned around and stared at Jia Jue tightly, "Where did you hear the news?" ”

Jia Jue was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I, guessing." ”

A trace of doubt flashed in Jia Jing's eyes, and after a while, he continued: "I don't know this matter very well, but the palace must know it, after all, your grandfather was under the will of Emperor Wuzong back then, but it is impossible for the cabinet at that time not to know about such a big matter, however, these things disappeared with the death of Wuzong, as if everyone had forgotten, and even the noble lineage who suffered heavy losses did not pursue the matter." ”

Jia Jue was stunned, "Could this matter involve the cabinet, or the civilian clique, could it be that they colluded with the Warat people who betrayed the 150,000 soldiers in Beijing?" ”

Jia Jing pretended to groan, and only replied after a while: "It's not impossible, after all, even Emperor Wuzong, who fully supported Xungui, died in vain. ”

Speaking of this, his eyes were sharp, "After five years of pro-government, there was a major theft case in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and His Majesty took the opportunity to abolish the entire forbidden army, and now the forbidden army guarding the imperial city is the elite who were transferred from the nine sides at that time. ”

Jia Jue was shocked, if it is true, then these civil officials are too bold, for the sake of power, they actually dared to kill the king, it seems that the sudden death of Emperor Tianyou in the previous life was probably their hand.

Jia Jing came to the window with his hands behind his back and looked at the sky, "There are a lot of things I can't tell you, and you will know it slowly in the future, everything in the palace actually understands, but, after all these years, I have not been able to break free from the shackles of imperial power, and the Xungui family has also retracted Nan Zhili, hehe, if it weren't for the pressure of the king of Dongping County, I can't even lose Nan Zhili, how do you think your Aunt Min's son died two years ago?" How dare a little salt merchant have the guts? This is just a game between the nobles and the scholars, and the Lin family has become a victim..."

Jia Jing was stunned, he considered the problem relatively simply, he didn't expect that there would be so many insiders in the middle, just listen, Jia Jing continued: "Your Majesty has been forced not to go to court for nearly 20 years, and all the government affairs are thrown to the cabinet to deal with, and it is not completely without gain, the greater the power, the easier it is to make mistakes, and if you make mistakes, you will be punished. The Ministry of Officials and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are in their hands.

Your Majesty is fifty and two this year, and it can't be delayed for a few years, once the King of Shu ascends the throne, the efforts of the two emperors will all be in vain, and the Ming Dynasty will be completely controlled by the scholars, and the emperor will be trapped in the imperial city. ”

Jia Jue glanced at Jia Jing and understood that what he said was true, and his previous life had become a reality.

At this time, Jia Jing took out a wax pill from his sleeve and crushed it directly, a fragrant medicinal fragrance spread, looking at the pill handed over by Jia Jing, Jia Jing was stunned, what is the situation?

"This is a divine elixir, eating it can prolong life and enhance the body."

Jia Jing looked at the bright red elixir, swallowed his saliva, and shook his head violently, Jia Jing suddenly smiled, "Are you afraid that you will die if you eat it?" ”

Jia Jing nodded, Jia Jing was silent, and his eyes moved out of the window, "This is an elixir refined according to the Daomen's Outer Dan Technique, and it is all herbs, and it is not poisonous." ”

Suddenly, Jia Jue's eyes flashed, he raised his head suddenly, looked at the pill in Jia Jing's hand, and asked urgently, "This can't be the pill refined for Your Majesty, right?" ”

Jia Jing smiled, "You kid is really a freak, you can guess this, yes, I am here to be responsible for refining pills for Your Majesty." The old lady knew about it. ”

Jia Jing was silent, no wonder in his memory, as soon as Emperor Tianyou died, Jia Jing died in the Xuanzhen Temple, it turned out that all of this was related, as well as Jia's mother, no wonder he fainted directly when he heard the news of Jia Jing's death.

Jia Jue suppressed the breath in his heart and couldn't help asking, "Is it reliable?" ”

Jia Jing laughed, "Although it is a three-point poison, but with the diet, the effect is still there, and it is just a solid foundation." ”

Speaking of this, he handed over the pill in his hand again, "Taste? ”

Seeing Jia Jue subconsciously retreat, he pursed his lips and directly stuffed the pill into his mouth, "Go back, don't come if you don't have anything important to do here." ”

Knowing that he couldn't ask anything else, he saluted him in a proper manner, "My nephew has retired." ”

After saying that, turn around and leave.

"Wait a minute."

Jia Jing suddenly spoke, "Qin, you take care of it, don't have an accident, she is a person of noble status." ”

Jia Jue was shocked, this Jia family is a nest of right and wrong, how many secrets are hidden?

He didn't answer, let alone turn around, and walked straight out after listening.

After leaving Xuanzhen Temple, Jia Jue did not go back to the city directly, but went to Qingxuguan to see if this old god stick knew some secrets of the year!
