At three o'clock, Zong Zheng Shaoqing Tan Ziwen had woken up from his dream on time. He jumped out of bed in his obscene shirt and pants, looked at the bronze mirror for a long time, stretched out his hand to pick out a grain of eye feces from the corner of his eye, and his wife Tan Baishi was already waiting with a basin filled with warm water.

Tan Ziwen hurriedly washed his face, used a toothbrush dipped in green salt to clean his mouth, and his wife had already helped him put on the scarlet Luo robe skirt, the waist belt, and the square heart curved collar.

He grabbed two pieces of dessert from the fruit bowl in one hand and stuffed them into his mouth, and hurriedly put the white silk socks and black leather shoes on his feet with the other. Madame slapped his shoulder in disgust, put the straight-legged hat on his head, and stuffed the wat board in his hand, and Tan Ziwen went out with a lantern against the starry sky.

The carriage at the door has already been set, Tan Ziwen lives in the south of Luoyang City, and he has to cross the Dingding Bridge every morning. The coachman drove the carriage along the bridge, and the sound of the horses' hooves was particularly crisp in the deserted early morning.

The sky was slightly bright, Tan Ziwen sat in the carriage, swaying left and right with the bumps of the body, closing his eyes and recuperating about a stick of incense, the carriage had passed through the Dingding Gate and walked on Zhuque Street.

Tan Ziwen lifted the curtain and looked out, except for a few soldiers in the city gate tower who checked the waist card, there were few people on the foggy street. Yes, it is also a petty official like him who gets up early to rush to the court, and most of the officials of the Dachen Empire who are above the third grade have real estate in the center of the capital.

In fact, the real estate in Luoyang City, the imperial capital, is not expensive, and with Tan Ziwen's income from Wupin Zongzheng Shaoqing, he can buy houses and land in Chongwenfang, Guide Fang, Jinguyuan and other areas.

But Tan Ziwen thinks that only by passing through half of Luoyang City every day can he show his diligence. Living in the alleys in the south of the city can better prove that he is honest and honest. Wouldn't it be beautiful for him to be evaluated by the imperial court on the other day, and the officials realized that they were excellent, and then they were released as officials to make a fat difference?

Tan Ziwen was thinking leisurely, and suddenly found that the carriage had reached the end of Suzaku Street, and went straight north to cross Tanggong Road to see the palace. Tan Ziwen kicked the carriage pedal with his foot, waited for the coachman to stop the carriage, walked out of the carriage, and looked at a courtyard next to it.

The courtyard covers an extremely wide area, and the gray and white brick courtyard wall, although it is late autumn, the wall is full of green bamboo. There are also huge banana fan blades sticking out of the wall, and a small two-story wooden building can be seen faintly in the lush greenery. At this time, the sky was just bright, and there were a few beautiful and graceful birdsongs in the courtyard, coupled with the mist, it was really like the courtyard of the fairy family.

Tan Ziwen tiptoed to look into the courtyard, and there was a plaque hanging in the middle of the wooden two-story attic, which was inscribed with the four big characters "unity of knowledge and action".

Tan Ziwen was stunned, then solemnly dressed up his bullet clothes, bowed to the attic three times, turned around and climbed into the carriage and hurried away......

This courtyard is the Zhixing Courtyard of Luoyang City, and the president is Li Xingzhi, who is famous all over the world, and is also the legend of the Great Chen Empire.

Regarding the legend of Li Xingzhi, Zongzheng Shaoqing Tan Ziwen has heard too much. As for Li Xingzhi himself, Tan Ziwen, a small official from the fifth grade, only saw it once from afar when the Son of Heaven ascended the throne, and it was just a back.

It is said that although Li Xingzhi is a national teacher, after Emperor Chen Zhao Chang ascended the throne, he did not pay much attention to the political affairs of the court. Living in a simple place, in addition to teaching disciples in the Zhixing Academy, he often travels all over the world, and the dragon sees the beginning but not the end.

When the first emperor Zhao Zhen was there, he respected Li Xingzhi very much. Legend has it that in Pujiang County, Chengdu County, Shuzhong, Zhao Zhen, who was still the captain of Siyan, met Li Xingzhi in the Guanwen Palace, and the two talked, Zhao Zhen found that Li Xingzhi was knowledgeable and extraordinary.

The two talked at night, in the middle of the night, they talked about the importance of the Tao and the technique, the two argued, Li Xingzhi sat on the couch, the dantian was like thunder, and a long howl could be heard for hundreds of miles, Zhao Zhen was taken aback, only to know that Li Xingzhi was still an unborn martial arts master......

Later, Zhao Zhen rebelled against the former dynasty Liang, and often said to the generals around him: "I have Li Xingzhi, and I can win 100,000 male soldiers." Even if he later became the emperor and established the Great Chen Empire, the first emperor Zhao Zhen often joked that "there are ten heroes in the world, and Li Xingzhi monopolizes five of them".

It is said that in that year, when there was a war with the Great Liang State of the previous dynasty, the first emperor and the two princes were besieged in "Panlongling" for three days and three nights. There are no reinforcements outside, there is no food and grass inside, and at the last moment, Li Xingzhi rode a sword alone and fought the eight masters of the Great Liang Country in the "Eagle Sorrowful Stream". In the end, he killed three of his five wounds, and fought with Han Zongwang, the generalissimo of the Great Liang State at that time, and the master of the grandmaster, Han Zongwang, and retreated. The first emperor took the opportunity to get out of the predicament, and fought back with reinforcements, annihilating more than 200,000 enemies. After this battle, the vitality of the Great Liang State was greatly damaged, and afterwards, the first emperor praised Li Xingzhi for "hiding the universe in his chest, all-encompassing, and infinite magic laws"......

Tan Ziwen also heard that when the first emperor first ascended to the throne, he rewarded the founding heroes who had been following him, and Li Xingzhi only accepted the title of national teacher and fifty altars of imperial wine. Others, such as the official residence, the fields, the gold and silver beauties, all returned, and the first emperor was greatly admired......

Such a fairy-like figure, I have never seen it, even if it is his personal disciple, any one, it is also a famous person from all over the world. Li Guoshi's protégés are all over the world, and many of the students of Zhixing Academy have entered the court as officials, and some of them are already second-class members, if they are lucky enough to be able to make friends with one or two, it will be of great benefit to their careers. Today, I behave respectfully, standing outside the courtyard and worshiping the attic plaque, I will definitely be seen by people with a heart, and the people of Zhixing Institute will definitely have a good impression of me after knowing it, and when the time comes...... Tan Ziwen was sitting in the car and was thinking about it, but the car stopped.

Tan Ziwen lifted the curtain and saw that the thick wall of the Minghuang Palace in the fog was faintly recognizable, and the palace had arrived. Not far away, Huang Jiulang, the doctor of the ceremony, Cao Huachun, the son of the country, Kang Xiaolian, the Taichang Shaoqing, Pan Changzai, and Liang Daoming, the scholar of the Zhongshushe, these five people shrunk their necks, put their hands in their sleeves, paced with broken steps, and shivered like five quails on the city wall.

Tan Ziwen glanced at it and almost couldn't help laughing, he wore it thick in the morning, and his wife specially added a thin fox fur to his underwear. The weather in late autumn can be said to change, and he secretly praised his wife in his heart for being wise, well-dressed, and greeting with his hands: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's early!" ……

The sky slowly brightened, and more and more people gathered in front of the palace gate. With the appearance of Tong Huan Taiwei, Tongzhi Privy Council Envoy Jiang Chendong, Liubu Shangshu Wang Daolun and other important ministers of the imperial court, the palace door suddenly opened, and everyone rushed in......

At the beginning of the court meeting, Tan Ziwen stood at the end of the line, and he couldn't see the emperor's face clearly in this position, and from the beginning of the court meeting, the emperor made a commotion after speaking, and many things could not be heard really. It is probably that the emperor wants to send troops to Xiliang to raise food and grass, and the first few important ministers are arguing about whether to send troops or not, how to send troops, who will lead the troops, and even fight Xiliang first for sending troops, or fight Dongyang Kingdom first.

The civil official representatives in the team began to talk at length, from the three emperors and five emperors, Yao Shunyu Tang to the theft of several peasant households in Guide Fang yesterday, whether the highest soldiers and horses were derelict in their duties, and talked about loyalty and filial piety, recalling how the first emperor governed the country with benevolence and cherished the common people, and repeatedly emphasized that the soldiers were unknown, and the saints were used as a last resort, and His Majesty must think twice and again......... This civil official is very eloquent, he talks endlessly, quoting scriptures and classics, and the generals on the side are staring at each other with big eyes or drowsy.

The civil officials next to him listened to it, but they shook their heads with joy, admiration and honor, or they were like being beaten with chicken blood, and their faces were full of red light. The emperor sat behind the dragon case, closed his eyes, and rubbed his eyebrows.

In the middle of the morning, after the civil officials finished speaking, it was the turn of the generals, and the whole hall boiled. The military attachés used concise words and rich body language to vent, and the hall began to speak frequently-

"Fuck it!"

"Grass Ancestor!"

"Xiliang, my ancestor in the future!"

"it, Dongyangguo"! ……

The civil servants looked at each other with disdain, or were not surprised, and cast a disdainful look.

With a crisp sound of "pop", His Majesty the Emperor knocked on Zhenshan River, the hundred officials stopped making noise, and the hall was instantly quiet......

Taking advantage of this effort, Tan Ziwen saw Zhao Chang, the emperor of the Great Chen Empire, after the Shangshoulong case, through two classes of civil and military ministers dressed in Zhu Zi. He wore a crown of heaven, a yellow embroidered dragon robe, two thick eyebrows into the sideburns, a slight mustache under the chin, sitting with both hands according to the case, snorting and sighing, and his momentum was dignified and not angry.

Emperor Chen looked around at the ministers below, there were many familiar faces, and some of them were meritorious veterans who fought on the battlefield with the first emperor back then.

Emperor Chen took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, word by word: "I, since I succeeded to the throne, I have been sleeping at night, and I dare not forget the dying instructions of the emperor all the time, as well as my brother's blood feud back then, Xiliang Kingdom, I am bound to win!" Qinzhou County, I must take it back, even Dongyang Kingdom, sooner or later, it will be in my bag! He said through gritted teeth, while stretching out a big hand, his five fingers were open, slowly clenched into a fist, and smashed it on the dragon case.

As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar in the hall. This sentence was sonorous and powerful, like throwing a barrel of explosives in the ranks of military attachés, which directly pushed the atmosphere of this court meeting to a climax. The generals were excited, clamoring and shouting to take the initiative to ask for battle, this group of Qiu Ba didn't recognize a basket of big characters, but their voices were louder than the other, Emperor Chen couldn't help but rub his eyebrows again.

The warriors pushed you and pushed me, shouting and screaming.

Zuo Jin Wuwei Liu Daxia was over eighty years old, and he suddenly became anxious when he saw this formation. The old general was also really violent, took off the official hat on his head and threw it on the ground, took off the court clothes three times and divided by two, and took off the naked stripes in an instant, leaving only a calf nose pants in the cold weather, revealing his sturdy upper body.

He strode to the dragon case, pointed to a bowl of big arrow scars on his chest, and talked about the battle of Bianliang that year, how he fought to protect the first emperor from arrows. After finishing it, he pointed to the scar at the sexy navel, and said its origin with tears in his eyes, and then raised his right arm to point to the gunshot wound at the biceps, deeply remembering the eventful years when he fought side by side with the first emperor.

In the end, he turned around, tore open his calf's nose pants to reveal half of his big belly, pointed to the scars on his big buttocks, and told how the first emperor was trapped in the "Panlong Ridge" back then, and how he was desperate to cover the first emperor's breakthrough and injury. In the end, the old general strongly demanded that Emperor Chen must be the vanguard of the crusade when he sent troops, otherwise he would die headlong at the bottom of the imperial steps......

Qin Lie, the imperial historian, stood for a long time in the first civil official team, with a sore back, leg pain and hunger. Seeing that Liu Daxia couldn't stop making noise, he couldn't help but feel a nameless fire, he craned his neck and shouted: "Imperial doctor, quickly invite the imperial doctor to come and ......"!

When Emperor Chen heard this, he asked with concern: "Qin Aiqing, who is unwell?"

Qin Lie shook his long beard, and said in a strange manner: "I see that Liu Daxia is acting crazy and insane, please ask the imperial doctor to show him."

Liu Daxia couldn't hear his sarcastic words, he was furious, pounced on him with a snort, punched Qin Lie in the chest, and scolded in his mouth: "You are fucking insane."

Qin Lie hurriedly dodged, but was hit in the shoulder, and his body staggered. He is also a fiery temper, he rolled up his sleeves and untied the belt from his waist, and hit Liu Daxia with his head and face, and scolded in his mouth: "You are not ashamed, you are not ashamed of your dignity in front of the king, what kind of system has Sven swept the floor?" Why don't you take your pants off too? Shameful old man, I've put up with you for a long time. ”

The two old ministers had white hair, and they actually pinched their arms and hugged their thighs and wrestled together. Liu Daxia was born as a military general, but Qin Lie was younger and stronger than him, the two grabbed their faces and pulled their beards, and they fought for a while, and everyone in the hall was stunned.

Emperor Chen sat in front of the dragon case and looked at the scene in front of him, never expecting that two second-class senior ministers, old ministers, would directly beat each other in the court without saying a word. Da Chen has been founded for more than ten years, but the fierceness in his bones has not changed.

Emperor Chen coughed, and everyone in the hall woke up like a dream, and just pulled the two apart!

"Papapapa", Emperor Chen knocked on Zhenshanhe a few times, and shouted with a pale face: "Retreat from the dynasty, all dispersed...... Captain Tong stays and talks with me! ”

The military attachés supported Liu Daxia, who was still shirtless after the fight, and the civil officials surrounded Qin Lie, the imperial historian who was bruised in the corners of his eyes, and they came out in a noisy manner.

Tan Ziwen went out of the palace gate, and only after the ministers left did he call the coachman, turn over and board the carriage. Sitting still, recalling the scene of the court meeting just now, I couldn't help but wonder. took out a box of candied fruits from the secret box in the carriage, picked one up and threw it into his mouth, and held a meeting for a long time, his stomach was already hungry. Tan Ziwen told the driver to slow down all the way, and Shi Shiran went home......

The sky is bright, the sun has not yet come out, in the palace of Luoyang City, Kyoto, the great eunuch Zhao Qin walked all the way, through the mist into the Xuanshu Palace, Emperor Chen Zhao Chang just sent away Tong Taiwei, is reviewing the folds, Zhao Qin knelt down in front of the case and waited.

After a stick of incense, Emperor Chen closed a book, put down the brush in his right hand, closed his eyes, rubbed his eyebrows, and said, "What did the national teacher say?" ”

Zhao Qin leaned down a little lower, and Xiao Yi said, "The national teacher only said four words... The time has not yet come..."

Emperor Chen opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes shining. After pondering for a moment, he got up and walked to the window, looking through the misty white fog in the direction of Zhixingyuan in the south of the city......

It has been ten years since the founding of the Great Chen Empire, and the scale of Luoyang City, the national capital, is no less than Wuwei City in Xiliang State and Yangzhou City in Dongyang Kingdom. The palace was built in the north of Luoyang City, while in the south was the Zhixing Academy, which was founded by the national teacher Li Xingzhi.

In the Zhixing Courtyard, on the two-story wooden attic with the plaque of "Unity of Knowledge and Action", the breeze blows through the mist, showing a figure in a green shirt. Dean Li Xingzhi had white hair and white eyebrows, stood with his hands behind his back, and was also looking in the direction of the palace, muttering to himself: "Did you really do it?" Alas...."A sigh drifted away in the breeze mist......

The wind blew, and a few ginkgo leaves fell......
