The war continues for three months, and letters from home are worth ten thousand dollars. This is true for soldiers on the battlefield to receive letters from home, and it is also true for family members in the rear to receive letters from relatives in the army.
It has been several months since Yin Zhong went on the expedition, and it has been more than a month since Ji Yuan arrived in Gyeonggi Mansion. At this time, the Yin Mansion finally received Yin Zhong’s letter, and at the same time, the battle report from the front line was sent back.
In Si Tianjian’s official office, Ji Yuan was reading documents in Si Tianjian’s huge file room.
This volume room is like a huge library, which contains astronomical and starry classics that the officials of the past dynasties have collected from all over the world in various ways, as well as various documents with certain relevant content here, and of course There are documents written by the envoys and subordinate officials of the past dynasties during the hundreds of years of Dazhen’s founding of the country, and there are even a considerable number of historical books, of course, most of which involve astrological records of the previous dynasty or the previous dynasties.
After Ji Yuan and Yan Changxu chatted several times, they came to Si Tianjian to take a look, and suddenly discovered such a treasure house, and immediately aroused strong interest. From the perspective of Yan Chang, Si Tianjian officials in the past dynasties There are still many capable people, and there is still a certain scientific rigor in metaphysics.
So Ji Yuan lived in Si Tianjian and read Si Tianjian’s documents every day.
Theoretically, these documents are of course secrets of the imperial court. In addition to Si Tianjian’s own officials, let alone the fate, they are also imperial officials. To read them, you have to ask for approval from Yan Chang, or even ask for approval from the emperor. possible.
But this is just a theory after all. It depends on the fate. Now the two people with the highest status in Si Tianjian, one is Taichang Shiyanchang and the other is the national preceptor Du Changsheng. Which one will stop them? Not only do they not stop them, but they serve them wholeheartedly. Of course, Ji Yuan is not a squeamish person, and there is no need to wait for him. With tea or wine, some food, and a bunk on the floor, he can stay in the archives room permanently.
With Ji Yuan here, Yan Chang and Du Changsheng did not dare to tell the new emperor Dazhen about the situation. Instead, they spontaneously accompanied Ji Yuan to lay the floor in the file room. Yan Chang often discussed the dossier with Ji Yuan and learned from it, while Du Changsheng just wanted to do well in front of Ji Yuan at first, but later he also participated in it, so that Ji Yuan did not dislike the two of them.
There are many partition walls in the dossier room. Beside the outer walls and partition walls, as long as there are no windows, there are huge wooden bookshelves standing against each other. The closer to the inside, the more stuffed the bookshelves are. There are books. Books made of paper, including silk and silk, as well as numerous bamboo slips and wood carvings, often require the help of several ladders to retrieve books, just like a huge library.
Ji Yuan holds a roll of knife in his left hand to carve bamboo slips, and the index finger of his right hand traces the bamboo slips to read. This is a detailed study of the changes in the stars over the years.
“Hey, Mr. Ji, look, it is written here that Zhong Pei Gong dreamed of observing the stars to determine the changes in disasters. The recorded date is a hundred years earlier than what is rumored outside. In that case, the time will be right! ”
Yan Chang held the same bamboo slip in his hand and shouted in surprise when he saw the content on it. Ji Yuan and Du Changsheng also came closer to watch.
“Yes, in this case, Duke Zhong Pei is not a treasure of the previous dynasty and a person of eleven years, but a hundred years ago…”
“Well, this is a capable person, what a pity.”
When Ji Yuan was sighing, an officer from Si Tianjian hurried into the file room outside. After searching inside for a while, he saw the three people leaning against the far corner and quickly approached to salute.
“Report to the Lord Supervisor, someone from the palace has arrived. The Emperor urgently summons the Lord Supervisor and the Imperial Preceptor to come to the palace to meet with the Holy Spirit. They have important matters to discuss.”
“Huh?” “The emperor summons us to the palace?”
Yan Chang and Du Changsheng looked at each other. The new emperor had neglected them for a while after he came to power. Why was he suddenly summoned today? Yan Chang stood up and asked the guard.
“Do you know why I and the Imperial Master were summoned?”
The officer raised his head and glanced at Ji Yuan, who was still reading the bamboo slips leisurely. He didn’t dare to ask who this person was, so he honestly answered Shangguan based on what he knew.
“Sir, I heard that there were a number of knights on horseback riding into the capital outside the East Gate today. It seems that there is a major battle report coming back from the war in Qizhou in the northeast.”
“The battle report came back and it was not Si Tianjian who should announce it, right?”
Du Changsheng also stood up and said something in surprise. Ji Yuan, who was sitting against the bookshelf, also frowned slightly, then interrupted with a smile.
“That’s not necessarily the case. You two adults should enter the palace as soon as possible, lest the emperor becomes anxious.”
“Yeah.””Okay!”
The two looked at each other, took a step back, and bowed to Ji Yuan.
“Sir, let me resign first!” “Du Changsheng resigns!”
Ji Yuan did not raise his head, but pushed with his back to signal them to leave. The two then turned around, nodded to the officer who was delivering the order, and then left quickly together.
……
A quarter of an hour later, Yan Chang and Du Changsheng arrived outside the imperial study. The **** outside hurried into the imperial study to report. There were already many civil servants and generals standing inside.
The people inside were arguing. When he saw a **** coming in, the emperor immediately raised his hand to signal everyone to silence, and the **** quickly bowed to report.
“Your Majesty, Sir Si Tianjianyan and the Imperial Master are here. They are waiting outside.”
Yang Sheng on the throne said quickly.
“Let them in quickly!”
“Yes!”
Not long after the **** exited, Yan Chang and Du Changsheng entered the imperial study together. Once inside, they discovered that Yin Zhaoxian, Yin Qing and several important civil servants were there, as well as several military ministers.
“I am a humble minister, and I would like to pay my respects to Your Majesty!”
Yan Chang’s etiquette was still in place, and Du Changsheng only needed to say “Your Majesty” because of his status and achievements as a national advisor.
Yang Sheng glanced at Yin Qing, who nodded and spoke directly on his behalf.
“Master Yan, as well as Master Du, received an urgent military report from Qizhou this morning. Not only did the Zuyue Kingdom continue to increase its troops, but it was also discovered that there were many great heavenly masters canonized by the Zuyue Kingdom in its army. , the Great Sacrifice and the like, the battle between the two armies often involves demons and strange techniques, and many sergeants and soldiers in the army are frightened. Fortunately, there are also strange people and heroes in our army to help, and the soldiers fight bravely. Just now we are evenly matched.”
“Huh? Demonic and strange arts?”
Du Changsheng was the most sensitive about this matter. He immediately expressed surprise and looked at Yang Sheng and bowed.
“Your Majesty, can I have a look at the original military report?”
The emperor nodded and looked at the middle-aged **** on one side. The latter quickly took the military newspaper from the desk and handed it to Du Changsheng. The latter grabbed the military newspaper and read it briefly, and then a drop of blood oozed from the tip of his index finger. Disperse, use the army’s hexagram to predict the front.
“National Master, what’s the result?”
Hearing the emperor’s question, Du Changsheng looked around at the civil servants and generals around him. Some of the ministers who still looked down upon him looked at him expectantly. This was very helpful to him, and finally he faced the emperor and said.
“Your Majesty, there really are practitioners involved, and they seem to be closely entangled with the Zuyue Kingdom. They have truly accepted the canonization of the Zuyue Kingdom. They are considered to be courtiers of the Zuyue Kingdom. The confrontation with me, Dazhen, is also related to human disputes. Strange, It’s really weird. Logically speaking, the state of Zu Yue should be full of demons and demons. When evil spirits are harming the country, why would they all jump out to help Zu Yue march into Dazhen? Isn’t this because they were tied to death on this broken ship of Zu Yue? Do they think they will win?”
Du Changsheng found it very ridiculous. This kind of true loyalty to the Zuyue Kingdom and intervention in the humanitarian rule of the country was rare in Dazhen, but it happened in Zuyue.
Yin Qing glanced at Yan Chang, then looked at Du Changsheng, and asked after thinking about it.
“The Imperial Master is a man of immortality. I wonder if he has any good ideas?”
“A good strategy? Du, a cultivator, can only go to the front line to help our army. A good strategy requires the cooperation of Duke Yin and Master Yin, as well as many adults and generals.”
Yang Sheng stood up from his seat.
“Okay! With the words of the National Master, I can rest assured!”
Yang Sheng had personally experienced the big battle to connect the stars when he rescued Yin Zhaoxian, so even though Du Changsheng repeatedly emphasized that he was borrowing the law, he still had great trust in Du Changsheng’s ability. In fact, today When I came to announce Du Changsheng’s decision, in addition to listening to his opinions, I also wanted him to make such a statement. Unexpectedly, Du Changsheng said it himself before he even hinted at it. How could Yang Sheng be unhappy?
Yan Chang also spoke at this moment.
“Your Majesty, I have observed the stars in the sky recently and know that this dynasty has reached a critical moment. At this moment, we cannot worry about whether it will waste people and money, and we must have full authority to ensure the frontline war.”
“Soldiers, clothes and armor, weapons, chariots and horses, food and grass, etc. will be deployed by Yin and his colleagues. The army is also constantly recruiting and deploying, and I, Dazhen, have accumulated many years of strength. Find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan .com will not collapse overnight, please rest assured, Mr. Yan.”
Yin Qing said this with absolute confidence, and the people present were also very convinced. Yin Zhaoxian was the only person with a seat like the emperor at the moment. He sat beside the imperial desk, just stroking his beard and saying nothing. He was very happy to see him. When the Chinese civil servants and military generals come to the DPRK, they work together, and I am even more happy to see that the people and the imperial court are united as one.
Du Changsheng glanced at Yin Zhaoxian and suddenly said something.
“Actually…”
But the words stopped here.
“National Master, what do you want to say, but there is no harm in saying it.”
“Well, Du wanted His Majesty to post a notice so that more capable people from my court could come to help, but I thought that many righteous people have already gone there…”
“What the Imperial Master said is absolutely true, Mr. Li will supervise this matter!”
“Yes!”
The emperor gave the order, and a middle-aged minister on the side immediately accepted the order. By the time Yang Sheng became the emperor, the veterans of the three dynasties during the Yuande Emperor’s era had basically retired and passed away.
Du Changsheng’s suggestion was almost unspoken. Yang Sheng had already thought of it himself, but he said it deliberately to save Du Changsheng’s face. But what Yang Sheng didn’t know was that Du Changsheng originally wanted to say that as long as Yin Zhaoxian went to the battlefield in person, he would be better than half an army.
……
In Si Tianjian’s archive room, Ji Yuan was holding a bamboo slip in one hand and a white jade Qiandou pot in the other, sitting on the ground and slowly pouring wine into his mouth.
“Gu~~Gu~~Gu~~~”
Ji Yuan’s eyes were out of focus, his vision was blurry, and his mind’s eye seemed to be traveling through thousands of mountains and rivers.
“Someone figured out my fate-making move and went against it?”
