The old emperor in the imperial study room in the capital was a little stunned. On the one hand, he felt excited when he heard the news about the dragon. On the other hand, he also seemed extremely uneasy because he heard about the falling dragon.
This feeling of uneasiness is so strong, like gongs and drums in my heart.
Emperor Yuande suddenly thought of a secret memorial, and rummaged around on his desk with his arms trembling slightly. He who usually paid great attention to his appearance and dignity was completely unaware of his state at this time.
“Pah la la… pah la la…”
Many stacked memorials fell down due to Emperor Yuande’s rough flipping.
The King of Jin stared blankly at his father’s movements. Of course, he also saw the slight trembling in the old emperor’s hands very clearly. At this moment, he had mixed feelings in his heart and his mood was extremely complicated.
‘Father…is really old…’
Even King Wu’s eyes looked a little complicated at the moment, but they were quickly replaced by a hint of joy, and then his expression returned to calm.
“Found it…Found it…”
Emperor Yuan De murmured to himself, picked up a secret memorial with a slightly trembling hand, and then carefully opened it. The person who presented the memorial was Yin Zhaoxian, the magistrate of Lishun Prefecture.
Emperor Yuande opened the memorial and browsed it quickly, as if he was looking for something. After about a dozen breaths, he finally found a column of small characters:
(Wei Chen believes that the affairs of Wanzhou must not be tolerated. Officials deceive the superiors and conceal the inferiors, and are greedy and greedy. They plunder excessively and make the people miserable. This is endangering the power of our country.)
In fact, Ji Yuan’s previous worries were not unreasonable. At that time, he told Yin Zhaoxian that the old emperor was preparing for the water and land ceremony, and he was worried that the old emperor would not have enough energy or courage for government affairs.
Emperor Yuan De was indeed extremely angry after learning about the incident in Wanzhou, and the smashing of the tea set in the royal study was not false. However, as time went by, the old emperor’s mentality also changed. Those daring **** Officials have plundered so many benefits, can these benefits go directly to the national treasury and the emperor’s private treasury? Can we continue to have such a steady inflow of gold and silver?
Even the King of Jin did not know this idea of Emperor Yuan De, let alone Yin Zhaoxian who was in Wanzhou, but it was definitely a very dangerous idea.
But when he heard about the “dragon falling in Guangdong Lake”, he suddenly woke up the old emperor.
“Huh…”
Emperor Yuan De exhaled and looked at the ministers and princes in the imperial study. The words he originally prepared also changed…
“As Yin Aiqing said, the matter in Wanzhou must not be tolerated. Please pay attention to a series of officials in the court who have connections with Wanzhou, and use Yin Aiqing’s suggestion to find a reason first to promote Chen Yuhe, the governor of Wanzhou. Entering Beijing…”
When the old emperor said this, he glanced at his ministers and his sons.
“I don’t care if any of you have connections with Wanzhou. Today I will give you a chance and do your best to handle this matter. I will forget the blame. If you dare to leak the news… The royal family will be executed and the courtiers will be killed.” The three Yi tribes!”
The old emperor’s voice was hoarse when he said this, but the coldness in it made the officials in the imperial study tremble slightly. Some of them even had sweat dripping down their spines, secretly thinking that Chen Yuhe was in danger.
. . .
Of course, when the situation in Wanzhou began to change without the knowledge of many parties involved, preparations for the Water and Land Dharma Assembly in Gyeonggi Prefecture were also in full swing. However, only people around Gyeonggi Prefecture knew about this matter, and it was not yet known. It’s quite famous.
For Emperor Yuande, this matter is no less important than the treatment of Wanzhou. He even plans to send people to investigate the falling dragon and look for the strange people and strangers in Wanzhou.
And soon, the emperor announced to the world that he was going to hold a water and land ceremony in Gyeonggi Prefecture. Not limited to Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, he invited celebrities from all over the world to attend the ceremony in Gyeonggi Prefecture to promote the national destiny of Dazhen. Pray for blessings for Emperor Dazhen.
And some experts will be selected to give them the title of “Heavenly Master” and reward them with thousands of taels of gold, if they can be summoned by the emperor.
As soon as this edict came out, the “elegant people” in the Dazhen prefectures were naturally helpless. They had some thoughts in their hearts and wanted to go to Gyeonggi Prefecture to attend the Dharma conference.
. . .
More than twenty days have passed since the Yin family’s second son’s full moon drink, in the back office of Lishun Mansion in Wanzhou.
A Go chess set was placed on the stone table in the garden. Yin Zhaoxian was dressed in white casual clothes and Ji Yuan was wearing a green shirt. The two sat and played the game.
Now Ji Yuan’s chess skills are much better than Yin Zhaoxian’s, but the latter is not without improvement. Both of them are no longer the bad chess players they used to be.
Ji Yuan is not an old dragon and has such a strong competitive spirit. Of course, he would give Yin Zhao the upper hand when playing chess with his friends, so the two of them still play back and forth. They have played many games like this during this time. , it can be regarded as a chat at chess.
At this moment, Ji Yuan dropped the sunspot in his hand and took the lead in a corner, making Yin Zhaoxian frown in thought.
“Master Yin is a little absent-minded today?”
Yin Zhaoxian looked at the criss-crossed black and white stones on the chessboard, and could almost see the final result. After a moment of hesitation, he surrendered.
“Hey…there is news in the capital. The Holy One has finally made up his mind to take action against the Wanzhou bureaucrats, but the edict of the Water and Land Dharma Association has also come down. It is known as the Nine Heavens and Ten Meetings, inviting the world’s masters to participate in the grand event of immortality…”
Yin Zhaoxian has really had contact with experts, and he knows more about things than many people in the government and the public. How many people with true self will go to this kind of recruitment?
This situation inevitably made Yin Zhaoxian think of all the ridiculous things Emperor Zhengyuan did when he asked for immortality. He asked for immortality, but he didn’t have the posture that he should have for asking for immortality. He clung to power and ignored it. If Chao Gang neglects the country and holds the country for elixirs instead of the country, it will inevitably bring a heavy burden to Dazhen.
Ji Yuan also squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then smiled and said.
“This matter is not something you can control, Mrs. Yin. There is a group of admonishers in the court. Besides, Emperor Yuande still cares about Wanzhou. It is much better than what Ji wanted before. Let him go to the Dharma conference!”
Yin Zhaoxian smiled and shook his head.
“Hey, I will be very busy next time. I am worried about Wanzhou. I don’t have the ability to take care of it in Kyoto. It’s just the people in the province, I’m afraid they won’t be able to dissuade the emperor. ”
Yin Zhaoxian was just chatting with Ji Yuan. Although he knew that the real master was right in front of him, he had no intention of inviting Ji Yuan to attend any Dharma gatherings. His friends would not be interested in such a thing.
It’s just that Yin Zhaoxian guessed wrong this time. Ji Yuan was really interested in the Water and Land Dharma Assembly. Of course, he was not coveting the reputation of a heavenly master and the gold and silver rewards.
In fact, he and Lao Long had already discussed this ceremony in private, and even the Yuhuai Mountain side was preparing to take some actions.
Did Emperor Yuande really achieve great prosperity? Not really.
The main reason is that the form of Dongtu Yunzhou has begun to look a little wrong. This may be a problem that Dongtu Yunzhou itself has been brewing for a long time in the past, and the rumors of Tianji Pavilion back then made it originally on the edge. Dazhen suddenly attracted a lot of attention.
Nowadays, Dazhen can indeed be regarded as a “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”, but it is also conceivable that Emperor Yuande’s water and land ceremony may not only attract some swindlers, but maybe there are some monsters and monsters in it.
After all, having Emperor Dazhen personally canonize him as a “Celestial Master” is tantamount to gaining Dazhen orthodoxy. To say the least, even some monstrous people with shallow moral practices are extremely eager to get this canonization. Find Shuyuan www.zhaoshｕyuan.com
It’s just that the Gyeonggi Prefecture’s Yin Division is not so easy to pass, and the orthodox immortal flow within Dazhen will seize the signs and dig out their roots, taking the opportunity to eliminate them.
As Ji Yuan was thinking about it, Yin Zhaoxian suddenly spoke again.
“Oh, by the way, Master Zhizhou will be promoted to Beijing soon, and I have to prepare a congratulatory gift.”
“Haha, Master Yin will spend a lot of money. The gifts you can prepare with your small salary will be easily squeezed out by other people’s gifts.”
“Mr. Ji was joking, Yin is still reluctant to spend money, so all he needs to do is write a big copybook!”
Yin Zhaoxian stood up as he spoke.
Not to mention, the gift prepared by Mrs. Yin is really not shabby. It is an exaggeration to say that it is hard to buy a million gold, but it is not too much to say that it cannot be exchanged for a hundred gold.
“In that case, Master Yin, go and get busy. Ji has been bothering you here for more than two months, so it’s time to leave.”
Ji Yuan also stood up and said goodbye to his friend.
Yin Zhaoxian is not surprised. It is good to keep Mr. Ji for one more month.
“Mr. Ji, are you going back to Ning’an County?”
Ji Yuan smiled.
“No, Ji is going to see the Land and Water Dharma Assembly in Gyeonggi Prefecture.”
. . .
Half a day later, Ji Yuan said goodbye to everyone in the Yin Mansion, left the Lishun Mansion Office, walked around the city, and then left the city to step on the clouds.
Of course Ji Yuan himself would not save his life to attend that Dharma gathering, but he had to go early to secure a place.
This ceremony is destined to be unusual, and perhaps it can also be called a kind of luck for Emperor Yuande, at least he will not be unable to see anything like Emperor Zhengyuan.
