Chapter 173: Beasts
"The power used in our launching ceremony is not easy to explain, to put it simply, this power is not much different from the true power cultivated by the martial artist, both of these powers are derived from the power given by heaven and earth to all living beings, but the way cultivated by the martial artist is the way of use, and the way of metaphysical cultivation is the way of borrowing, borrowing the power of heaven and earth in a special way. "The little national teacher used a popular saying.
When Zhao Xi heard this, he pursed his lips slightly, and said in his heart that this truth is very simple, just borrowing strength.
For example, if you fan the wind with a fan, the wind that comes out of the fan does not belong to the person himself, but is only the wind formed by the power of nature.
Such a simple truth has to be said by God, it seems that the national teacher does not intend to tell the truth.
"As for why the ceremony was held as scheduled this year. The little national teacher thought for a while and said in general terms: "Because this year happens to be the reincarnation of the fiefdom, the power limit of the sealing of the fiefdom ceremony has reached the limit, and it needs to be resealed. ”
"What seal?" Zhao Xi asked, the old eunuch seemed to have mentioned what seals there were in Golden Lion Lane.
The little national teacher looked at the prince and asked rhetorically, "Didn't Emperor Qing tell you about such a thing?"
"Nope. ”
"Did the Blue Emperor tell you about the Four Holy Beast Formations?"
"This father has said that he said that the Four Holy Beast Formation is to help Kyoto suppress evil spirits, and this array is controlled by the national teacher. The prince thought about it, and it seemed like that's all there was to it.
The little national teacher asked again: "The Qing Emperor didn't tell you what the evil is that you are suppressing, and what is the array pivot?"
The crown prince replied honestly: "My father didn't explain it specifically, but occasionally told the king some myths and legends. ”
The little national teacher was silent, why didn't the Qing Emperor tell the truth to the prince?
The people of the heavenly family, their minds are unpredictable, and the Qingdi must have his own reasons if he doesn't say it, Xiao Guoshi thought about it and decided to say it differently: "These things involve the category of metaphysics, and it is too time-consuming to talk about them in detail, so this master will explain them in layman's terms." ”
"Generally speaking, you can understand this 'evil' as a fierce beast, there are too many fierce beasts near Kyoto, and the Four Holy Beast Array is set up to suppress the fierce beasts. ”
"As for the seal, you can understand it as a cage for holding beasts. ”
"The boundary reincarnation of the seal, you can understand it as the time limit that needs to be repaired and maintained for the cage that holds the beast, the cage will rust after a long time, and it needs to be re-strengthened, and the master needs to strengthen the cage at a specific time and with a specific person, so this year's ceremony needs to be held by Master Mei and the master, and it cannot be postponed. ”
"Is that clear?" the little national teacher looked at the prince, and then at Guan Ping.
Zhao Xi and Guan Ping glanced at each other, then looked at the little national teacher and nodded.
"It's good to understand, please make proper arrangements for this festival, I will have some special requirements to submit to you at that time, please inform Master Mei to prepare together. ”
Guan Ping nodded yes.
Xiao Guoshi looked at the prince again: "The fiefdom ceremony needs to be attended by Emperor Qing himself or yourself, and the prince must stay in Kyoto at that time." ”
Zhao Xi nodded, but he was thinking in his heart, the phrase that the national teacher let him stay in Kyoto mean something, what is it?
When the purpose of the trip was achieved, the little national teacher stopped staying and left.
There are only two people left in the hall, Zhao Xi and Guan Ping.
Zhao Xi looked at Guan Ping with a slight smile and asked, "Lord Shoufu, what is the inside story of how you defend the little national teacher so well?" This king knows that you know the details of this small national teacher better, can you reveal one or two to this king?"
"The ministers don't know, the emperor should know the national teacher very well, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince might as well talk to the emperor. ”
Guan Ping didn't say anything, and said in a deep voice: "But the emperor has specially explained to his subordinates that if the small national teacher speaks, the minister needs to listen carefully to every word of the small national teacher, and if the small national teacher has a request, the minister needs to do it." ”
"The minister has never seen the emperor treat any of his ministers so solemnly, so the minister can only handle Fang Cai's situation cautiously and try to avoid further problems. ”
"Father and Emperor so solemnly explain to you?" the prince preferred to believe that the Qing Emperor had been deceived.
"What the minister said today was explained by the emperor himself, and the minister couldn't understand the emperor's will at the beginning, but in today's view, there are indeed some things that we haven't understood yet, and it's always good to be cautious. ”
Guan Ping said what he said from his heart, he knew that the force of the Imperial City Division's guards was strong enough, and he also believed that the eunuchs in the East Palace were not mediocre, and he believed that the investigation of Niu Hong's fainting later would not lead to anything.
Guan Ping can be the head of civil officials, naturally he is not a mediocre person, even Guan Ping treats the national teacher so cautiously, Zhao Xi also has to be vigilant, and in his heart the prevention of the small national teacher has been raised by a level.
Zhao Xi suddenly thought of a question, if the affairs of metaphysics are real, if this heaven sacrifice ceremony is really a sealing ceremony as the little national teacher said, if the little national teacher's ability is indeed true, then he and the old eunuch worked hard to destroy the four holy beast arrays, didn't they lift a stone and shoot themselves in the foot?
These four holy beast arrays are broken, what if they run out of a bunch of 'fierce beasts' that they can't deal with?
However, the old eunuch has always been thoughtful in his work, and these situations should be under his control, and he will ask him carefully after returning to the palace.
Zhao Xi put the matter of the little national teacher behind him for the time being, and suddenly showed a bright smile to Guan Ping.
The prince's smiling face is not a good thing, Guan Ping hurriedly bowed his hand and said goodbye: "His Royal Highness the prince, this is the matter, the minister retired first, and there is still a big mess of things in the Ministry of Rites and Rites that need to be dealt with urgently by the minister." ”
"Don't be busy, Shousuke-sama. Zhao Xi affectionately grabbed Guan Ping's arm, approached and asked: "This king also has some urgent matters, and he needs to be coordinated by Lord Shoufu, and it is a big emergency." ”
"What's the urgency, His Royal Highness the Prince, why don't you recall the hundred officials now to discuss?" Guan Ping kicked and understood that he was confused, and he wanted to get out.
"Shousuke-sama, don't pretend. The prince approached Guan Ping and squeezed out a look of embarrassment: "Isn't it just the matter of the sixth and second children of this king, although this king knows that all this is a misunderstanding, and knows that the sixth child must have nothing to play in which immortal mountain and famous river, but this matter will not be solved if it is not delayed." ”
"If this matter is not solved for a day, and if I don't see the sixth and second people for a day, the task force will have to deal with this matter as a homicide case day by day, and arrest people everywhere every day, what a big impact, you see how frightened the officials of the Kyoto court are now...... This is also an urgent matter that affects the stability of the DPRK. ”
Guan Ping also squeezed out a bitter gourd face, and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this matter, the minister has no way to do anything, in addition to the task force can manage this matter, only the Zongren Mansion can speak, and the emperor also has the name of this Zongren Order, or ....., you ask the emperor?"
"Hey!" Zhao Xi was anxious: "Lord Guan Ping, don't shirk your responsibility, the emperor said in front of the two of us, this matter is handled by the king with full authority, then the king will be reluctantly responsible, the king's solution is to issue a holy decree first, let the second child return to Beijing to defend himself, and then solve the suspicions of the officials." ”
"This is a good solution!" Guan Ping pretended to praise.
"This method is good, you said you can't control it, then why don't you send it when you are stuck with that holy decree?" Zhao Xi pressed step by step.
Guan Ping's face was surprised, and he explained: "Misunderstanding, the minister is not stuck with the holy decree, last time the minister only found some flaws in the writing on the proposed decree, and proposed that it needs to be sent back for minor revisions." ”
"Oh, a small flaw, has it been revised now? Don't talk about the whole of Kyoto, Shukaku University, it will take a year to change a writing flaw. Zhao Xi sneered, knowing that this Pingka Holy Decree should be the meaning of the Qing Emperor.
Zhao Xi knew that although the Qing Emperor was tossed by these brothers, he would not let everyone use such a heavy weapon as the Holy Decree Cabinet.
The old eunuch had long predicted that the cabinet would not work, and it seemed that he had to push forward with another plan as soon as possible.
"This is the minister's negligence, approaching the end of the year, there are too many important things to do in various places, and the minister immediately went back to gather everyone to study. Guan Ping made an official tone.
Since it was useless to force Guan Ping, Zhao Xi let go of the hand holding Guan Ping, and said with a smile: "Then please ask Lord Shoufu to deal with this matter as soon as possible, the Fu Cheng of the Zongren Mansion was also there just now, according to the rules of Qinglu, if the task force can't come up with evidence favorable to the second child to prove his innocence, then the Zongren Mansion will issue an order to lock people back instead of recalling them to defend themselves, at that time, Lord Shoufu, your writing flaws may be more difficult to deal with than now." ”
Guan Ping agreed again and again, and left, knowing very well that the prince was threatening.
Since the prince said so, it means that Zhou Yifan of the Zongren Mansion outside has also become a person on the prince's side, this prince has infiltrated the court really fast enough, and he has punched one punch after another, I don't know how long the second child can last.
