Chapter 475: The posthumous apostle in Tai’an City is in trouble, and Beiliang Road refuses to enter the country
Zhang Julu has never been interested in fine wine and food, nor has he taken a concubine. His wife is the daughter of the old master’s assistant. When the old woman married Zhang Julu, there was a saying in the capital that the “prime minister’s daughter, the top scholar’s wife”. After her husband became the chief minister, she was extremely respectful. Even if the current queen Zhao Zhi saw it, she would treat her with courtesy. But the relationship between the two is as light as water, and they can’t say a few words all year round, and they respect each other as much as ice. Zhang Julu was not interested in Shijiudao, but was very obsessed with the chess pioneered by Huang Longshi. However, except for Huan Wen, he rarely fought with people on the chessboard. Most of the time he played with himself, and he was not bored after more than twenty years. At this time, Zhang Julu moved the red and black chess pieces on the chessboard. The chess pieces were all expensive chess carved from ivory. They were sent by Yuan Guo that year. The top scholars are present every year, but the group of “young handsome men” who entered the court’s vision in the short four years of the Spring of Yonghui are famous officials who hold great power in the temple today, so they are destined to leave a large and colorful exaggerated word in history. Yuan Guo is the most “interesting” one of these powerful people who are not young. He is recognized as the most talented, but the most unremarkable, the most unrestrained, the most unscrupulous, and the ordinary civil officials. This is called the romanticism of famous scholars, but for an official who wants to become a cabinet minister, such an image is very fatal. So at that time, no one would have thought of the Yuan Shigong who should have taken over the mantle of the Zhang Party and which surname Zhang Lu should have changed to. Not to mention Zhao Youling, Wang Xionggui, and Yin Maochun, even Han Lin, who had the same ranks, was more outstanding than Yuan Guo. It is hard to imagine that Yuan Guo was the first guy among these five to cross the threshold of the fourth rank. Unfortunately, having a good move is useless to take the overall situation. The officialdom is a place where gradual progress and stamina is becoming more and more important, otherwise there would be only a bleak ending with a tiger’s first and a tiger’s last.
Zhang Julu clamped a piece with his fingers, gently tapped a pile of “dead” chess stacked on the edge of the chessboard, and said to himself: “Chess is a good chess, but the temperature is not good, and it cannot be regarded as a wonderful chess that can be easily collected and released. At this time, he was too close, and then he could only either not let go or he had to put too much. However, it is normal for human nature. After losing for so many years, he would not win back a game. In the future, he would not even have a chance to win him.”
The chief assistant glanced at the chessboard, lost interest, stood up and walked to the window. The green willows in the yard have sprouted new buds, and it is indeed spring.
Zhang Julu fell into deep thought, turned around and picked up a red chess piece on the chessboard, engraved with the word “王”.
Zhang Julu smiled.
“While Yuanbenxi’s plan was not enough, it was time to hand it over to you.”
When the imperial edict was about to reach the border of Beiliang Road, a horse quietly left the city in the early morning.
The man in white carried a pole of plum wine diagonally and left Beijing along the imperial road.
This morning, amid the dull spring thunder outside the hall.Song Tanglu, the eunuch in charge of the seal of the Sili Supervisor, read out three imperial edicts: Lu Daolin, the Minister of Rites, resigned from his official position, retired and returned to his hometown, and was replaced by Yuan Guo, the Minister of Works; Chen Zhibao resigned from his official position and was granted the title of King and was granted the title of Western Shu; and Lu Baijie, the Minister of War, was promoted to the position of Minister of War.
The capital was shaken.
There are rumors that several old ministers staggered out of the line and knelt on the ground, crying in vain, and directly advised the emperor in court, without any implicit words, and told him directly that Chen Zhibao should be letting the tiger return to the mountain, and that Beiliang is the lesson of the past, and that it would be fine to raise a tiger for a disaster once, so how can Chen Zhibao be in power again?
His Majesty the Emperor answered with the four words “retreat the court without any trouble”.
In this way, the two new ministers, Yuan Guo and Lu Baijie, who were promoted to the next level, did not say much congratulations.
In the twilight, a middle-aged monk in white dress brought a woman to the city absurdly. Everyone knows that the court is destroying Buddhism in a big way. The men and women of the city gate have widened their eyes, looking incredible. This monk is the people of the capital who come to Tai’an City to seek death and are used to the big scenes, and their eyes are similar to those of monsters.
The woman with an ordinary appearance quipped softly, “I wanted to see you back then, but I couldn’t even see you on tiptoe, so I had to jump around.”
The monk in white touched his bald head, smiling warmly, “At that time, I felt that the daughter of a family had great foot strength, and she jumped for several miles.”
The woman twisted him and hummed, “When I arrived in the capital, don’t hook up with the fox!”
“How can I do it?”
“As long as there is an unshamed vixen coming to hook up with you, I won’t deal with you!”
“This is a bit difficult… Wife, you can do it now.”
“Blow, let you blow! Look at who recognizes you now. Those women who are still thinking about you are already old and yellow, so I don’t take it seriously!”
“Wife, I don’t take it seriously. It’s better to keep it in my heart.”
“Looking for peeling is not”
“…”
“There are really people in this world who believe that eating your meat can live forever”
“Ah.”
“If your heart is not sincere, what’s the benefit of eating vegetarian precepts? If your heart is not good, what’s the use of becoming a monk for a hundred years to practice Taoism? I think it’s better to save blessings and be a Bodhisattva than to burn incense and pray to God and Buddha.”
“Hey, you went to listen to Abbot Huixin’s preaching, don’t you like to listen to this most?”
“Hmph! I borrowed money from the old abbot at that time. The old monk was obviously rich, but he said he had no money, so he talked to me about this! It’s not true that monks don’t talk about it!”
“Ha, wife, Abbot Huixin said he didn’t make lies. Those silvers were the pages of the bricks and Buddhist scriptures in the Buddhist temple…”
“Oh, aren’t you letting Bennan secretly hide the old abbot’s side?”
“Haha, my wife, look, there are so many people in Tai’an City.”
“I think our plum is too.”
“I want to do it too.”
“Hey, the two men in front who are trying hard to see you, who is it, besides Huang Longshi, there are men who want to steal men from me, please come and find a brick for me! Look for a photo!”
“Uh, one is His Majesty the Emperor, and the other is Yuan Benxi.”
“Then I’ll buy rouge…”
“I’ll borrow some money from them”
“I’m stupid. You can borrow money from the old abbots. If you borrow money from them, I can’t repay it.”
“That’s right.”
The two people in front of them clasped their hands together. Although they didn’t believe in Buddhism, they still bowed to the monk in white who had traveled thousands of miles west.
But the monk in white turned around and smiled at his wife’s departure back.
Nanzhao Huaizhou is not peaceful. Walking along the way, you will see people fleeing, collapsed wooden beams and piles of black and blue gravel like graves. The ancient Mushang Road on the river at the intersection of five streams is gone without the bustling and bustle of the past, and there is no ship staying at the ferry terminal.
