Chapter 121 Annoyed Jiang Ni Qingyi and sighed that Xu Xiao had no return when he left Jing
Xu Fengnian subconsciously raised his hand in the pavilion, as if he wanted to hold something, but he still let it go.
It’s not heavy to pick up anything, but it’s hard to put it down.
Xu Zhihu knew the warmth of human nature, so he asked the blue bird to send a few cool snacks and fruits to the pavilion, which could relieve the heat. Xu Fengnian sat cross-legged and faced with Jiang Ni who was standing back into the pavilion. Xu Fengnian stared at Princess Taiping, whose chest was completely uneasy. For no reason, she remembered a picture of “The Evil Dragon of Spring Thunder and Waking of Insects” in the study of the Beiliang Palace. The dragon squatted on the big stone in the middle of the river, which was naturally spectacular, but Xu Fengnian carved about a girl holding the furnace by the river who was stealing her eyes and wanting to speak. She was carved from the same mold as the woman in front of her. The picture of the Heavenly King and Heavenly Girl is said to be from the hands of a great Qi-refining man in the previous dynasty. It contains prophecies. Prophecies are divided into good prophecies and evil prophecies. Xu Feng often observed them with his mother when he was young, but he could not see any mysterious things. He only felt that the evil dragon was domineering, and probably could not escape the consequences of the evil prophecies.
Xu Fengnian picked up a piece of iced watermelon and asked while gnawing, “Do you know who the uncle Qizhao is?”
Jiang Ni hesitated for a moment, sat down against the red lacquer pillar, shook his head and said, “I only know that uncle Qizhao’s surname is Cao, and my mother said he is very talented.” When he said the word “如”, his expression was gloomy.本该是称呼母后的。
Xu Fengnian rolled his eyes and sneered: “It’s not just a talented person. The old sword god ranks eighth in the martial arts rating. Cao Changqing has been a contingent for two consecutive times. People in the martial arts world are known as Cao Wudi and Cao Guanzi. Now you are well developed and favored by the old sword god. He cried and shouted to accept you as an apprentice. In addition, Cao Guanzi came to you as a guard at this moment. It’s countless times more avatar than my prince. I wondered, ordinary people are like dogs to learn skills. You are not worthwhile, the masters are as valuable as the roadside cabbage. No wonder Li Yishan said that you are lucky and not convinced. I wonder if your delicate body can attract a natural strange clay man, or you will be shocked.”
Jiang Ni rarely used chopsticks at the dinner party. He couldn’t help but feel greedy when he looked at the dazzling array of snacks. Because of his thin skin, he was embarrassed to reach out. He was originally in a bad mood when he was hungry. He heard His Royal Highness’s cringe jokes, and suddenly aroused anger from his heart and glared: “You are shocking!”
Xu Fengnian first pushed the shrimp green official kiln plate filled with various desserts to the ginger mud, and said seriously: “Tell you some serious things. Practicing martial arts is like practicing Taoism, but you can’t escape the five words “Root and Fa” and “Fu” land. Root is the root bone, and it ranks first, and your own qualifications are inferior. No matter how bad your talent is, it’s not much worse. Next is Dharma, that is, Dharma, there is no way to enter the Tao, and it’s a drip of water to pour stubborn stones. Life is only a hundred years. How can you achieve success and have a famous teacher lead the way? You are even more lucky than me in this regard. I have obtained the Wudang Dahuang Court to survive in the reed marsh. You have two masters who have been once in a hundred years, and you have been taught by Cao Changqing and Li Chungang. You can teach it in one hundred years. You can count your opportunities once in five hundred years.The three items of earth are naturally more hindering to you. You cannot be reborn without a partner, and you cannot be cared for with one mind without wealth. Compared with you and me, my partner will surpass you in wealth, but the earth will lose to you. For example, in this Lu Mansion, I cannot easily ask the old sword god for advice. If I enter the Northern Liang Army in the future, I may not be able to concentrate on practicing martial arts. You are different. With Cao Changqing blocked you, even if he deliberately wants to restore the country under the banner of your Princess Taiping, you can still be carefree. If you lose, you are just escaping from the world; if you win, you might be the second female emperor in a thousand years. Even if you fail to learn martial arts, it will be a small matter in the blink of an eye. This kind of big deal without much capital will not be done by a fool. “
Jiang Ni put a piece of soft liquor into his mouth, his cheeks were bulging and his dimples were supported, and he hummed in a vague manner: “You said it was so turbulent. I wasn’t stupid. Uncle Qizhao is very amazing, but it’s so difficult to restore the country. The King of Beiliang has 300,000 Beiliang Iron Cavalry, even if he dares to be the emperor by himself. Uncle Qizhao is the third in the world, so what? I can beat 300,000 people. If I leave, I will never kill you in my life. Do you think you will succeed?”
Xu Fengnian smiled and said, “Oh, aren’t you really stupid. “
Jiang Ni swallowed the snacks and picked up a bowl of ice lotus seed lily from the dining plate. After entering the mouth and abdomen, he felt refreshed.
Xu Fengnian crossed his hands, pressed his knees against Chunlei and Xiu Dongdao, and smiled and said, “Then you can kill me if you stay by my side. You can count the fingers and count them. We have met so many beauties along the way. I have Sister Yu and Aunt Shu. Now they are here. How powerful are they coming here? Look at yourself. “Xu Fengnian let go of his fingers and held it up on his chest.
Jiang Ni was angry and wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, raised his eyebrows and said angrily: “It’s cumbersome! “
“Hey, the lotus seed lily can still taste sour when you get into your mouth.” Xu Fengnian turned her eyes and continued, “Okay, I won’t talk about this. Just talk about his appearance and figure, Princess Jing’an is not beautiful, but she is a great beauty named Yanzhi! She doesn’t charge money for studying, and she can play chess with me to relieve boredom. It’s nothing you can do. “
Jiang Ni turned a deaf ear and was very clever and did not quarrel with His Royal Highness the Prince, but just swallowed it.
Xu Fengnian turned his head and looked at the lake. There were dozens of koi cruising near the pavilion, which was incomparable to the Northern Liang Palace, but it was better than nothing. He snatched food from the tiger’s mouth from the dining plate and threw it into the lake.
The little clay man can be indifferent to those famous masters on the list. He can’t do it. In the past, whether it was Lao Huang, the white-haired old man, or Li Chungang and Wang Chonglou, they were not enemies who needed to face him head-on. They were not deeply touched. It was not until outside Xiangfan City that he saw the eleventh Wang Mingyin and Cao Guanzi, who now had only a friend on the front line, that he knew the horror of these top figures. At that time, Wang Mingyin rushed forward with his two-sleeved green snake, and his murderous intentions were rushing towards him. Cao Changqing seemed gentle and elegant, and he was also full of murderous intent. If he couldWith the choice, Xu Fengnian would rather sit at the same table as King Zhao Heng of Jing’an, and then walk on thin ice, and never be killed on the spot.
Both the Huting and Freehand Garden had a long time to spare. After leaving the Freehand Garden, a princess Taiping who had long been forgotten, the talk between Cao Changqing and Lu Baijie seemed to be unrestrained and unrestrained. I don’t know how to mention Zhang Julu’s political power with both hands.
The Liyang Dynasty followed the old rules and implemented the system of three provinces and six ministries. Among the three provinces, the Secretariat Province has the greatest responsibilities, divided into six ministries, and the Secretariat of the Six ministries are all well-deserved front-line officials of the court; among the other two provinces, the Inner History Province is commonly known as Huangmen Province, and the reason why Huangmen Lang is known as the Qingliu and the nobles comes from here. Generally speaking, there are two ways to become an official in the capital. One is to join the six ministries of the Secretariat, and to the extreme, the six ministries of the Secretariat. In the short term, it is faster to advance than to enter the other two provinces, make more profits, and have abundant oil and water. You don’t need to sharpen your head to accumulate too much reputation, and just be a capable official. But for most Confucian scholars of the gentry, they should pay more attention to the entry of the Inner History Provincial Department, because once they enter the palace and are awarded the title of Grand Secretary, not to mention the two super first-rank positions of the Chief Supervisor, it is easy to win the Six Ministers of the Minister, and it is considered to be condescending. However, it is very rare for the Sixth Division to climb to the head and then turn around to compete for the bachelor’s status. The saying that Wudang is a Huangmen Lang is circulating in the capital, which fully demonstrates the mentality of all officials. The capital of the Jingfu Tushiro Jinwulang is mostly a family of nobles who are from royal relatives, while the Huangmenlang of all sizes is even more difficult to be approved. Most of the reigning officials of the Diange and the retired Grand Secretary were from Huangmen, and how this small group with a transcendent status was promoted was usually based on articles, poetry and essays. This set of official rules is very vague. Zhang Julu, the chief assistant from the Huangmen, held power and rectified the administration. The first goal was not the six ministries of the Shangshu Province, but the Huangmen! At that time, it immediately attracted criticism, saying that the purple beard and blue-eyed man had forgotten his roots, and the other said that he only dared to pick soft persimmons.
Cao Changqing said softly: “It is an ancient method to select scholars in poetry and essays. Although it is empty and simple, writing a good poem may not necessarily lead to the world. However, if you examine the meaning of the classics according to Zhang Biyan’s eight-section essay, it is difficult to say the pros and cons.”
Mr. Tangxi Lu Baijie smiled and said, “I thought Mr. Cao was a powerful critic of Zhang Shoufu’s method.”
Cao Changqing shook his head and said, “The carp jumped over the dragon gate. Zhang Julu personally set up a dragon gate for scholars. Such a grand and grand move is only inferior to the Huanglong scholar. Once this method is released, if it can be successful and promoted to the whole world, it is equivalent to planning a smooth road for poor scholars, and the foundation of the wealthy family will be loose again. It is similar to the three sieges in the military books. Zhang Julu does have economic talent and is well aware of the principle that it is better to be distracted than to block public opinion. The Spring and Autumn Period completely blocked the path for the people to advance, and there will be chaos. However, those aristocratic families are not all blind.”
Speaking of this, Cao Changqing stopped talking.
Lu Baijie couldn’t help but smile bitterly, as open-minded as his elder brother Lu Daolin, who was different from the eighth Duan Jushi’s scholars and even more disliked him.Talk about Yuan Jiangyan and others. It was only because Zhang Julu was favored by the emperor and his unremitting support that he swallowed his anger. If the favor is prosperous, there will be a weak day. At that time, the angrily family will burst out. God knows what Zhang Julu will end. With Zhang Julu’s eyes, he may not have seen this crisis of deeper lurking, the greater the rebound, but for some reason, the first pillar of the dynasty has always insisted on doing it.
Cao Changqing was outside the situation, and he was not as focused on martial arts cultivation for many years as Lu Baijie, and had a more thorough understanding of the general trend of the world. The reason why he admired the blue-eyed man was that this person was deeply afraid of Xu Xiao of Northern Liang, and even had prejudice with the boss of the Ministry of War headed by Gu Jiantang, but was not limited to fighting for power in the temple. In the true sense, he made a decisive and vigorous layout for the long-term stability of the dynasty. If a leader who is a little bit interested in the rank of Quan, he will have a lot of energy to deal with the king of different surname Xu Xiao and even the six major vassal kings to consolidate the emperor’s position. However, Zhang Julu is different. For the sake of the overall situation, he can work with Gu Jiantang and be loyal to the old people of the Eight Kingdoms. Cao Changqing was good at observing the image and judging the situation. He roughly saw that Zhang Julu might have had great kindness in the Liyang Dynasty during his lifetime, so that the title of Chief Grand Secretary and the posthumous title Wen Zheng was not enough to show his great achievements, but after his death, he would most likely suffer the family, which was far less wise and smooth than Yang Taisui, a black-clad tiger. Cao Changqing sighed in his heart that the Buddhist school has its own meteorological method, but he wanted to talk about saving the people from water and fire, how can he compare to the Confucian scholars!
Our scholars will take the initiative!
It’s a pity that Zhang Julu was not born in Western Chu early.
Lu Baijie wanted to speak but stopped.
Cao Changqing smiled and said, “Tangxi has something to say.”
