After half a day of playing, the friendship between the two has gradually improved, and they have been able to match each other. Xie Di asked curiously, "Brother Yue, you still wear a thick robe in July...... Isn't this hot?" Yue Buqun looked at himself, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Fortunately, the foolish brother has achieved martial arts and is not afraid of cold and heat. In addition, life is casual, washed and dried, and put on directly, so I didn't change it. Besides, this dress is made by your sister-in-law, and the foolish brother wears it on his body, and he also thinks about homesickness. ”

Xie Di said: "I see, it seems that Brother Yue is also a family person, unlike the younger brother, who has been an official in Beijing since he entered Beijing more than ten years ago to catch the exam. For many years, it was just a matter of not going home to save relatives, and it was difficult to send even family letters a few times. And on the family letters, in addition to letting me read more, I am writing about some major events in the court, which is really boring to watch, won't I read the Di Bao?"

Yue Buqun smiled, although this Brother Xie is weak, he is still a child, and there are some plots of brothers, and he said: "Brother Ling is in the court, he knows more about the important things in the court, and under the teaching of words and deeds, you can also go to the middle of the Ming Dynasty early." In the future, if you are admitted to the Jinshi and become an official, you will be able to adapt to officialdom immediately. This is the elder brother's wordless love for his younger brother, Brother Xie should be moved, how can he complain. ”

Xie Di smiled: "How can the little brother not know, I just want to tell my eldest brother more about my family feelings." However, listening to Brother Yue's tone of voice is slightly the same as my own eldest brother, I believe that you will meet and become friends. Yue Buqun smiled: "That relationship is good, I don't know if Brother Ling's name is ......"

Xie Di said: "My eldest brother's name is Qian, the word is Qiao, the name is Mu Zhai, and he is now the young Zhan Shi and the bachelor of the Prince's Mansion. Yue Buqun muttered: "It turned out that his name was Xie Qian Xie Yuqiao, Shao Zhan Shi is a member of the fourth grade, and when the prince ascends the throne soon, it will not take a few years to become a cabinet scholar." ”

Xie Di was taken aback when he heard this, and looked left and right to see that the family of three was concentrating on cooking at the other end, not paying attention to the conversation here. Busy whispered: "Brother Yue is forbidden. Yue Buqun was stunned for a moment and asked, "What is the ban?"

Xie Di moved his body to Yue Buqun's side, and then whispered: "Brother Yue just said the words 'Wait for the crown prince to ascend the throne soon', but according to the five virtues, I didn't expect that the five virtues were actually spread to Shaanxi. Yue Buqun frowned and asked, "What are the five virtues and fallacies?"

Xie Di glanced at Yue Buqun strangely, and said, "Don't you know Brother Yue? Then why do you say that the crown prince will ascend the throne soon?" Yue Buqun laughed dryly, and suddenly remembered who Xie Qian was, Xie Qian was one of the three famous ministers of the Hongzhi Dynasty, "Li Gongmou, Liu Gongju, and Xie Gongyu Kankan", so he said: "Brother Fool knows a little bit of astrological calculation. Some time ago, I watched the sky at night and found that the emperor star was dim, and there was a new star next to it that was supplemented by the stars, so it was estimated that the old and new emperors would alternate in the next month. ”

Xie Di exclaimed softly "Ah", Yue Buqun continued to show off, and said: "Foolish brother is also a little familiar with easy physiognomy, from your face, it can be concluded that Brother Ling's good fortune is both complete, not only is he a very human minister, his virtue is lofty, but he can also be as famous as Xie Dongshan of Jin and Xie Dongjiang of Song, and his life expectancy is extremely high, with a life span of eighty-three years. Xie Di was already stunned and asked, "Such a god, I don't know how long the little brother has to do?"

Yue Buqun was stunned for a moment, and carefully recalled the flashing memory in his mind, and said after a long time: "Brother Xie's official luck is slightly worse, at the age of thirty-two, he was a junior sergeant, but he was an official to Guangdong as a political envoy, and his lifespan was thirty out of sixty. Xie Di exclaimed: "Even the place where the little brother is an official is clear, so amazing?" Yue Buqun smiled and said nothing, Xie Di asked again: "I don't know how long the little brother's parents live?"

Yue Buqun hesitated for a while before he said, "Maybe in the past seven or eight years, Brother Xie has to fulfill his filial piety." Xie Di's face was gloomy, and he said: "My father and mother have always been in poor health, and I think it has only been a few years, and it is a gratifying thing to be able to hold on until seven or eight years later." The younger brother then wrote to the eldest brother and asked him to be ready. ”

Yue Buqun hurriedly stopped: "Seven or eight years is not a short time, and it is okay to tell you later." And let no one else know My prophecy, lest another cause arise, and if it be for the better or for the worse, it will not be good. Xie Di nodded yes and said: "The junior brother knows about this matter, just like the prophecy of the five virtues, obviously he and Brother Yue are right, but because they were known by others, they got into trouble, so that the prophecy turned into a fallacy, and it became a traitor to fight and frame others...... Really, alas!"

Yue Buqun listened to the five virtues a few times, and was a little suspicious, and asked, "What are the five virtues and words?" Brother Xie can talk about it. ”

Xie Di said: "That was three months ago, and there were rumors in Yangzhou that the current Banzai Lord would die in August, and the eunuchs of Nanjing Town were busy sending Jinyi Guards to spy on the rumors. After several days of spying, it was learned that there was a businessman surnamed Lu from Shaanxi who went to Yangzhou to have fun and printed the Taoist scriptures. He once said after getting drunk with his friends: There are saints in the Western Regions, and the five virtues are taught in the Turpan Khanate, and he once said, 'In the spring of the twenty-third year of Chenghua, Wan died, the emperor collapsed in August, and the temple number Xianzong. The crown prince succeeded to the throne, and the era name was Koji'. In March of this year, Wan Shi really died violently. After the friend was surprised, he became a loyal believer of the Five Virtues Sect of the Western Regions Sage, and took the initiative to spread the teachings of the Five Virtues Religion in Yangzhou. Later, because of his fighting with others, he was agitated to say the prophecy of the saint, and was denounced by others, accusing him of cursing the imperial father and plotting to cause chaos. The eunuch of Nanjing immediately captured the friend, and even captured hundreds of believers of the Five Virtues, and asked for merit and rewards from the Lord of Long Life. The courtiers were also furious, and asked the Long Live Lord to send troops to the Turpan Khanate to severely punish the Five Virtues Sect demons. Unexpectedly, he was blocked by the prince Chitose Ye, and told Banzai Ye to send an envoy to invite the saints of the Five Virtues Sect to Beijing and pray for the blessing of Banzai Ye. The courtiers and the crown prince Chitose could not say goodbye to each other, and the court was in a state of confusion for a month, and in the end they had to take a step back; they designated the Five Virtues Sect as a cult, destroyed and burned the scriptures of the Five Virtues, and were not allowed to talk about the doctrines of the Five Virtues, and they were not allowed to enter the country to preach. In addition, Zhang Tianshi of the Zhengyi Sect was invited to enter Beijing to pray for the blessing of the Long Live Lord. ”

Yue Buqun was stunned after hearing this, he didn't expect that his words back then would make such a big storm in Yangzhou, thousands of miles away, and inexplicably make the Five Virtues Sect a cult. This, this is really what Taoists call infinite variables, and what later generations call the butterfly effect.

Yue Buqun asked, "What happened to the friends and hundreds of Wude disciples in Yangzhou, and what punishment did the merchant surnamed Lu receive?" Xie Di said: "Thanks to the mercy of the crown prince Chitose, in the end, he was only sentenced to exile in Liaodong. The merchant surnamed Nalu got the news one step earlier and fled to the Turpan Khanate with his family. Yue Buqun nodded, after the matter in Jiangnan, he still needed to go to Liaodong. Because of his own words, he let others suffer from the destruction of his family and exile, how can he be happy.
