However, it was said that Xuan Mo followed Guo Bao to meet the emperor, and when he arrived at the Yangxin Palace, he passed into the hall, and after the ceremony, the emperor said: "A few days ago, Mr. Prime Minister Yan was the former general of the Zhuguo, is this statement credible?" When he said this, the first word was very heavy.

Xuan Mo said: "Your Majesty, Xu Shangwu is the father of the family, but he has already resigned from his official position and lives in the mountains and wilderness, as His Majesty said, he is a former general of the Zhuguo. ”

The emperor said: "The general of the Zhuguo State has immortal achievements in Dayu, and it is not an exaggeration to say that his achievements have been famous for thousands of years. ”

Xuan Mo said: "My father often said that as a citizen of Dayu, it is my duty to serve my family and country, and I have no merit at all, only to fulfill my responsibilities. ”

The emperor said: "The general of the Zhuguo has always been self-denying, indifferent to fame and fortune, and is really the pillar of the country. ”

Xuan Mo said: "Your Majesty loves the virtuous and uses energy, my father often misses the feelings of the monarch and the ministers at the beginning, and always remembers His Majesty's dragon body, and the grass people who entered Beijing a few days ago did not dare to tell their identities at will, after all, they have long been away from the court, so they committed the crime of bullying the king, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!" ”

The emperor said: "Sir does not act in the name of his father, which shows that he has a high temperament, and I like it very much, although he is suspected of bullying the king, but he also has the demeanor of self-love and self-respect, and I forgive you for your innocence." ”

Xuan Mo Shi Li said: "The grass people thank the emperor. ”

The emperor said: "I am always worried about General Xu, I don't know how the general's health has been in recent years, and whether he is still healthy? ”

Xuan Mo said: "Your Majesty has bothered, and my father lives in the countryside, and his body is also tough. ”

The emperor said: "In this way, I can rest assured, once you have entered the capital, you will stay in the court to serve, I don't know what your ambition is, and I will meet any requirements." ”

Xuan Mo said: "The grass people study medicine to help the common people, and they have no ambitions, they just want to travel in the rivers and lakes and hang the pot to help the world." ”

The emperor said: "Although you enter the capital for medical treatment, I can't be wronged by you, and when I join the ministers to get a position for you, it can be regarded as a slight shame for the general of the Zhu State." ”

Xuan Mo said: "My father often taught the grass people not to act in his name, how dare they get official because of him, and the grass people have no merit and no merit in the country, and the so-called merit is not punished, please be sympathetic to Your Majesty." ”

The Emperor said, "Since the gentleman said so, then leave it at that. The emperor was very happy when he saw that Xuan Mo's attitude was determined not to die. Then he said: "Today was summoned by the Queen Mother, but I have been missing the General of Zhuguo for a long time, and I have seen Mr. for peace of mind, there is nothing else, Mr. will go to see the Queen Mother." Xuan Mo bowed and went out of the palace, the emperor looked at Xuan Mo's distant figure, and his eyes were dark, and there was no turmoil in Xuan Mo's heart.

After a long time, I arrived at the Funing Hall and worshiped the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother said: "Child, I heard that the Emperor said that you are the son of the general of the Zhuguo, but is it true? ”

Xuan Mo said: "I don't dare to deceive the Queen Mother, but the grass people are the son of Xu Shangwu." ”

The Queen Mother said: "No wonder the mourning family felt close when they first saw it, and today I realized that it was because of this." Said to reprimand and retreat, everyone was shocked, and when they wanted to speak again, the queen mother just didn't allow it, and everyone could only do anything but give up, Shanggong panicked inexplicably and hurriedly sent someone to report to the emperor and queen, not to say it for the time being.

But after everyone left, the Queen Mother stretched out her hand and said, "Child, you are near." His hands trembled slightly, Xuan Mo couldn't be rude, and hurriedly stepped forward, but his eyes were a little moist, and the Queen Mother said: "Child, the mourning family knows that you are not the son of General Xu, and the mourning family probably knows who you are, but you shouldn't come back, this kind of palace blood is too much." ”

When Xuan Mo heard this, tears welled up and said, "Some things have to come, even if there are thousands of difficulties, it is incumbent. ”

The Queen Mother said: "Let's go, let's go, let's go." ”

What is Xuan Mo's identity, why he has always been calm and cloudy, he lost control because of the Queen Mother, no one knows the answer.

The emperor and empress were greatly surprised when they heard that the Queen Mother was meeting Xuan Mo alone, and while reprimanding the left and right, they quickly rushed to the Funing Palace.

"The queen has arrived" A sharp voice sounded outside the hall, only to hear the queen mother say: "Let her in." ”

After the queen entered the palace, she saw Xuan Mo standing far away from His Royal Highness, and the queen said with some peace of mind: "When the concubine heard that Mr. had come to the palace, she came uninvited and asked the queen mother to forgive her sins." ”

The Queen Mother said lightly: "What's the matter, you are in charge of the harem, and you don't need to handle the affairs inside and outside the palace, I think the girls are afraid of violating the etiquette and telling you, you are here to do your part." ”

The queen hurriedly said: "The concubine is guilty, and the queen will punish her." ”

The Queen Mother said: "Okay, why do you please take the blame again." ”

Before the words were finished, there was a voice outside the hall "The emperor has arrived", and the queen mother said: "Look, you busy people, what's the matter with you running to my old lady today." ”

The Emperor replied, "Erchen has come to ask for peace." ”

The Queen Mother said: "It's a coincidence today, since they are all here, it's also good, the mourning family knows that the royal rules and harem are not allowed to discuss politics, and today the mourning family makes an exception." ”

The emperor and empress were a little surprised, and the queen mother continued: "I must have heard that Mr. Xiao is the son of the general of the Zhu State, and the general of the Zhu State has made outstanding achievements in his life, so there is no need to say more about this." Since the establishment of the Yu dynasty, all respectful and virtuous use of energy, that can not be lost Xu is a door, the so-called son inherits the father's business, there are 3,000 households in the city, what do you think of the emperor? ”

Before the emperor could speak, he only heard Xuan Mo say: "Empress Dowager Qi, the grass people dare not accept this reward!" The emperor was slightly relieved when he heard Xuan Mo's words.

Xuan Mo continued: "Since the founding of the country, we have always been rewarded for meritorious political achievements, and the grass people have no merit and no achievements, and it is against the etiquette system to receive this reward. ”

The emperor hurriedly agreed, only to hear the queen mother say: "Who said that you have no merit, you saved the widow of the Prime Minister's Mansion first, and saved the mourning family later, so great merit can not be rewarded." ”

The queen opened her mouth and said: "The queen mother's words are also reasonable, if you let your husband serve in the hospital, it is in line with the way, and secondly, you can also be punished, wouldn't you kill two birds with one stone." ”

The Queen Mother said: "After all, he is a descendant of meritorious heroes, so it is too slow to treat him so slowly, it is better for the emperor to discuss with the officials, let him be an idle official, and find a position that does not disgrace his identity." Everyone was about to speak again, but they heard the Queen Mother say: "You stand down, the mourning family is a little tired." Everyone had no choice but to retreat with their own thoughts, and Xuan Mo Shili said goodbye to the emperor and queen and went back to the prime minister's mansion.

There is a poem that sighs:

is a person in a dream, but it is difficult to recognize each other;

May the sky be clear and clear, and do your best to live up to your relatives.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xuan Mo found Han Chufeng to explain the change at the entrance, and said: "The Queen Mother wants me to be an official because of my identity, presumably the emperor will ask you what you mean, and the Prime Minister will refuse sternly." ”

The prime minister said: "The last time I entered the palace, I refused the emperor's proposal, and I didn't want the queen mother to mention it again today. ”

Xuan Mo said: "The Queen Mother's intentions are sincere, not like a fake, so you must strictly refuse, and you must not make Your Majesty more suspicious." ”

The prime minister knows the stakes and naturally has nothing to accept. only said that after the prime minister left, Xuan Mo sat down a little depressed, and said to the paper kite: "The queen mother knew my identity, but she never thought that it would be so fast, and she never thought that she was the first to know. ”

The paper kite said in a bit of a panic: "How is this good?" ”

Xuan Mo said: "The Queen Mother has always understood the righteousness, and she loves me the most, she knows that I must have a hard time, and she will definitely not leak secrets, but now I am hiding my identity and can't show my true face, and I feel a little regretful in my heart." ”

Paper Kite sighed, glanced at Xuan Mo, didn't speak, only heard Xuan Mo say again: "Go find Daoyi, I have something to do, so it seems that I have to stay away from the court recently, and I need to start preparing for the rest of the matter." The paper kite went as promised.

After that, the emperor was forced to have no choice, so he could only discuss the matter of Xuan Mo with the ministers in the Zhengde Palace, and said: "A few days ago, the prime minister reported that Mr. Xuan Mo was the son of Xu Shangwu, the general of the Zhu State. ”

After everyone listened, they all talked and whispered, some really didn't know the situation, some pretended not to know, everyone was playing, and everyone was pretending to be stupid. didn't wait for everyone to speak, only listened to the prince say: "I don't want Mr. Xuanmo to have such an identity, the sons think that the generals of the Zhu Kingdom are in the community, and his son can inherit his father's business, which is in line with the road, and the sons ask the emperor to give him a title and a marquis." ”

King Ning hurriedly said: "Erchen thinks that His Royal Highness the Prince's request is very legitimate, and Erchen seconded it. "Hearing the words of the two, His Highness and the people under the command of the two of them all agreed.

The emperor said meaningfully: "It is rare that the two of you can reach a consensus. I didn't wait for the following, but I just heard His Royal Highness Han Chufeng say: "The old minister thinks this matter is inappropriate. ”

The emperor said, "Prime Minister, let's talk about it in detail. ”

The prime minister said: "Since I have been in the dynasty for more than 100 years, I have always been rewarded for merit, and if this precedent is opened in the shade, the court system will collapse, and the country will not be a country." ”

Taishi Pang Bo said: "The minister seconded the proposal, and what the prime minister said is very true. ”

The Emperor also said: "It is very peculiar to be in the hall today, and it is very rare that people who disagree with each other can reach a consensus today. ”

I only heard Pang Bo continue: "The minister thinks that the merits of the generals of the Zhu State are certainly eternal, but his son has no merits, and if he is punished without merit, it will be difficult for the officials to be convinced, and it will be difficult for the people to be peaceful. Naturally, Pang Bo's party all seconded it.

The prince said: "What the prince said is wrong, Xu Xuanmo has contributed to the court. ”

Pang Bo asked, "Dare to ask the prince what his merits are?" ”

The prince said: "A few days ago, the palace asked the queen mother for peace, and the queen mother said that Xu Xuanmo diagnosed the queen mother at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, so that the queen mother was in good health recently, isn't this a merit?" ”

Pombo said, "What a credit for this. ”

didn't wait for the prince to speak, only listened to King Ning say: "Master Pang, you are bold, the queen mother is the body of ten thousand gold, and the people still have "there is an old man in the family if there is a treasure", not to mention that the queen mother's mother has been in the world for many years, although she does not ask about government affairs, but how important her body is, you dare to say that the treatment of the queen mother is not a merit?" ”

Pang Bo suddenly heard this, hurriedly bowed to the ground, and said: "The minister has no intention of offending the Queen Mother, and please ask Your Majesty to investigate." ”

The emperor said: "What King Ning said is true, Master Pang needs to speak carefully, and he must not speak arbitrarily. ”

Han Chufeng said: "What King Ning said is true, but Xu Xuanmo's merits have nothing to do with government affairs after all, and it is indeed inappropriate to be an official." ”

The emperor said: "The prime minister's words are not unreasonable, but they can also be justified, and they can be eaten." ”

The prince said: "Father Emperor Shengming, the sons think that what the father thinks is deeply reasonable, and it will not make the loyal ministers feel cold, nor will the officials criticize it." ”

Pang Bo was about to argue again, but he only heard the emperor say: "I have made a decision, there is no need to discuss this matter again, according to the cabinet draft, the edict of Xu Xuanmo Xinglin Marquis, there is no need to ask for another decree." ”

Hearing that the emperor had sealed his apricot forest marquis, everyone whispered.

After the prime minister returned home, it was lunch time, Zi Ling, Paper Kite, Mrs. Han and others were all there, and the prime minister talked about the affairs of the Ming Dynasty and said: "Today, the emperor really named you the Marquis of Xinglin, what does this mean?" ”

Xuan Mo said: "The emperor has always been suspicious, and the more you refuse, the more you will think that it will be of great benefit to us that I will not enter the court." And calling me the Marquis of Xinglin has a double meaning, one is to beat me with Xinglin, so that I know my identity; The second feudal marquis is going to open a mansion and build a government, so I left the prime minister's mansion. It seems that the emperor still suspects that we are not just doctors and patients. He groaned slightly, and then said, "Yes, who can believe it?" But that's fine. ”

Han Ziling said with a smile: "Marquis Xinglin owes the emperor to think of it, and it is the first time he has heard of such a title. ”

Mrs. Han said: "The emperor is deeply thoughtful, this time I am only afraid of suspicion and temptation if I leave you as the marquis." ”

Xuan Mo said: "Yes, to this day he is still afraid of how many means my father has left, and it can be said that he has not been able to find it after so many years, and he naturally can't miss the opportunity when I enter Beijing at this moment." ”

In the eldest princess's mansion, after listening to the affairs of the court, the eldest princess said: "Xu Shangwu, you left in a hurry back then, and today you have no background of the day, do you still want to turn the sky upside down?" ”

Pang Bo said: "Your Majesty has always been jealous, why is he advocating the title of marquis this time?" ”

The eldest princess said: "Your Majesty is afraid of Xu Shangwu, not Xu Xuanmo, who is not a marquis, it is much better to watch it by his side than in secret." ”

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xuan Mo said: "I'm afraid he is going to look at me, so that he can feel at ease and find clues." ”

Han Chufeng said: "I'm just afraid that An's birthday is over." ”

Xuan Mo said: "After so many years, there have been people in Shouyang Mountain, and they have long known my identity, if it weren't for the sudden plague in Yecheng, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to contact Jingzhong." ”

Han Chufeng said: "Didn't you find out? ”

Xuan Mo said: "It hasn't been found out yet, and it is very deeply hidden. ”

Han Chufeng said: "What should I do next? ”

Xuan Mo said: "The court has been involved in the rivers and lakes for many years, since you want to use the means of the rivers and lakes to solve it, then let's see who is in charge of the rivers and lakes." ”

Han Ziling said, "How are you doing?" ”

Xuan Mo said: "Only if I am restrained in the open, can they focus on me, and I can also approach Miyagi, but it will be difficult to gain a foothold without making contributions." ”

The prime minister said: "I'm afraid that Prince Ning will be busier and busy with wooing." ”

Xuan Mo didn't answer, that seat was coveted by many people, and Xu Xuanmo appeared in Kyoto after the general of the Zhu State fled, if there was no plan, no one would believe it.

Thousands of miles away, on the top of the snow peak, a Confucian scholar was deducing the heavenly machine, and it was difficult to make a decision for a long time, and he muttered: "The heavenly machine is unpredictable recently, strange and strange!" ”

I saw a British Wuhan son and a vicissitudes of life, and the Ying Wuhan son said: "Easy to say" The first confession, repeated blasphemy, blasphemy, blasphemy, and no accusation. "It's useless for you to fiddle with the spirit turtle again and again, don't test it, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, what are you doing with so much heart."

The vicissitudes of life said: "You are just lazy, and we can't worry about it." ”

The Confucian said: "I haven't messed with you, it's been unpredictable lately. ”

The vicissitudes of life asked, "How unpredictable?" ”

The Confucian said: "I don't know that it is taboo to tell again and again, but it is not a matter of divination!" ”

Ying Wuzi said: "You mean that the heavenly machine is blocked? ”

The Confucian said: "That's right, there were no variables in the first few days, but in recent days, the heavenly opportunity has been blocked, and there is no result. ”

The vicissitudes of life said: "I remember that there is a similar record in "Hongmeng Tianji Record", the world will be chaotic, and the heavenly machine will be blocked, can it be said that the world will be chaotic? ”

The Confucian said: "At first, I thought it was so, but a few times I found that the main position was chaotic, and I was afraid that the rivers and lakes and temples would have a lot of talents. ”

Ying Wuzi said: "Are you saying that the world will break the existing balance and there will be a group of heroes competing for the deer? ”

The Confucian said: "It must be so, if the hero comes out, the world will be in chaos, but I am afraid that the rivers and lakes will be bloody and bloody, and the temples will kill step by step." ”

The vicissitudes of life said: "That is only afraid that it is a sign of great chaos to be able to rule greatly, and it seems that his safety is unpredictable." ”

Ying Wuzi said: "Then let Nangong forget the machine and Xuanyuan Xiangxiu to get out of the mountain as soon as possible, it is better to go out behind closed doors." ”

The vicissitudes of life said: "I'm afraid that some seedlings will help grow." ”

The Confucian priest said, "It is not unreasonable to go out and experience retreat. ”

Southern Dynasty Great Xia Kingdom, Sanqingguan, an old Taoist priest panting chasing a half-old child, about ten years old, looks extremely ordinary, but saw that his eyes are like ink like a spring, extremely clear, holding a book in his hand, tearing it page by page, the old Taoist priest shouted while picking up and tearing off the pages of the book: "If you are empty, my little ancestor, don't make trouble, "Taishang Sanqing Jue" is the foundation of Sanqingguan. ”

The boy said, "If you don't let me go down the mountain, I'll tear it up." ”

The old Taoist priest said: "The rivers and lakes are too dangerous, you are still young, how can I let you go down the mountain." ”

Ruoxu said: "Then I will tear it, and you don't want to stop me." ”

The old Taoist priest muttered, "I guard against him every day, I don't want to be found by him", and he never stopped saying under his feet: "I promise you to let you go down the mountain, you don't have to tear it again." ”

Ruoxu smiled "hehe", it was really pure as water, and said: "Wouldn't it be nice to be like this earlier!" After speaking, he threw the book into the arms of the Taoist priest, turned around and ran down the mountain, and the old Taoist priest said behind him: "Take it and wrap it." ”

Ruoxu said: "Senior brother, don't worry, I have a way." ”

The old Taoist priest looked at the sect treasure "Taishang Sanqing Jue" in his hand and stroked it distressedly, shook his head helplessly, and hurriedly ran into the house to prepare for bonding.

Precisely:

The thousand-year-old Dao is heroic, and the heart is like ice and snow and water!

If you want to know what is the creation of the void going down the mountain, and listen to the following breakdown.
