Tang Xiaofeng knew that if he asked this question, he must have an old relationship with his father, so he cupped his hands and said: "It's my father. Baidu search "" Quickly enter this site"
Gao Zhen brushed his beard and sighed: "Your Majesty and I were of the same year. We went to Beijing to take the exam together and made friends with each other. During the palace examination, your Majesty was delighted to see the flowers. I was not talented, so I was ranked fourth under your Majesty. Who would have known that the results would be the same? He put it down and then took it back again, but someone reported that your father's sworn sworn relationship with Xu Jingye and King Luo Bin was reported to Empress Wu. Empress Wu withdrew your father's title and left me to take up the position of Tanhua. Now that I think about it, I still feel guilty."
The so-called "same year" refers to the scientific examination in the same year. Tang Xiaofeng smiled and toasted: "It turns out to be Uncle Shi."
Tang Xiaofeng also knew that his father had quite a reputation among these loyal ministers and righteous men. After Xu Jingye was a famous general, King Luo Bin was the most talented man in Jiangnan, but they were all sworn brothers with his father Tang Ao. Although the eighth prince Li Zhen did not know him The father, but before his family was exterminated, he entrusted one of his two children to his father and the other to the Yan family. From this, we can know the father's reputation.
Although Tang Xiaofeng himself feels strange, you said that my father has never done anything important, but he just runs around and never returns home. He makes some random friends all day long, criticizes the world and criticizes the court, how could this happen? Such a good reputation? Not only were people mentioning him wherever he went, Xu Lirong and Luo Hongyi also respected him every time they mentioned their father.
"But my running around temperament is a bit like my father's. It seems that there is still some genetic factors in it.
Gao Zhen looked at Tang Xiaofeng and said, "There are rumors that my nephew used extraordinary means to take away Li Tang's luck. I wonder what his explanation is?"
Tang Xiaofeng thought to himself, it is indeed here.
"The people gathered here are all guys with the same temperament, who even dare to contradict the emperor. At best they are called loyal ministers and martyrs, at worst they are called rotten scholars. It is really delusional to expect them to avoid such a sensitive topic.
However, he was well prepared for this, so he touched his nose and smiled bitterly: "The theory of the Five Virtues and Luck began with Zou Zi, and was enriched and perfected by Dong Zhongshu's Theory of Five Elements. However, this thing is really elusive and unpredictable. Uncle Shi Ask me and I can¡¯t explain.¡±
Then he looked at Gao Zhen seriously: "Although my nephew can't explain it, he dares to swear an oath in the name of the ancestors of my Tang family. If I, Tang Xiaofeng, really did such a big treason that violated the three cardinal principles and brought shame to my father and ancestors." As a result, I was sent to die by God, bearing a bad reputation for eternity and never being able to recover."
Everyone in the seat was moved when they saw how serious he was.
Gao Zhen slapped the table and laughed loudly: "The good nephew's words of 'can't explain' are correct. I know that the Dragon Clan made such rumors just to disturb the public and to cause the alliance of China to fall apart. Dragon Clan Sima Everyone knows Zhao¡¯s intentions, and only fools will fall for it.¡±
Wang Tongjiao, Wei Yuejiang and others also nodded.
Tang Xiaofeng had already expected the reaction of these people. Although the theories of "Five Virtues and Luck" and "Induction between Heaven and Man" are very popular, some real celebrities sneered at them.
Tang Xiaofeng now naturally knows that the theory of Five Virtues and Luck is not just empty talk, but is indeed true. However, it is undeniable that the theory of Five Virtues and Luck has been used indiscriminately since Wu Huan Hua. At that time, emperors took turns, kings changed every day, and everyone messed around with the "Five Virtues" regardless of whether it made sense or not.
After the Eight Kings Rebellion, the so-called "Five Virtues" were divided into two groups. Liu Yuan in the north was obviously a barbarian. In order to show that he was the "Chinese orthodoxy", he forcibly related to Liu Bang and said that he inherited This is the fire virtue of the Han Dynasty, respecting Liu Chan as the first emperor.
When Liu Yuan died, his son Liu Yao felt that although Liu Bang, Liu Bei, and Liu Chan were all surnamed Liu, and my family was also surnamed Liu, the two Liu Qiang could not fool the people anyway, so he changed the country's name to Zhao and changed it to Shuide, saying In the Jin Dynasty, gold was the source of water, which was consistent with the theory of the Five Virtues.
When Shi Le killed Liu Yao, one of his men shot a black rabbit. Black was the color of Shui De, so Shi Le also built a Zhao Kingdom, saying that I was Shui De. Immediately after the Zhao State was destroyed, the Central Plains was divided into three kingdoms. Ran Min, who established the Wei State, was destroyed by Heng Wen before he had time to figure out what his virtue was.
The Murong clan of Yan State said that I, Murong, made his fortune in the east. The east is the green dragon and the west is the white tiger. Green is the color of wood and virtue. The spirit of the five virtues is in my country of Yan.
Fu Jian of the former Qin Dynasty did not believe this at all, but Yao Chang, who killed Fu Jian, forced him to impose a wooden virtue on him. He also said that he used fire to overcome wood. He first described Fu Jian as the orthodox one, and then he could also describe himself as the replacement. Orthodox orthodoxy. After the collapse of the former Qin Dynasty, many "countries" suddenly appeared in the Central Plains. Almost everyone had a "virtue" for themselves. The spirit of the five virtues was everywhere, and no one knew which one was true and which one.The first one is fake, and what's even more ridiculous is that in order to give himself a "virtue", Helian Bobo, who was obviously a Huns, actually said that he was the queen of Yu the Great, and founded the country as Xia, in honor of Xia Yu's golden virtue.
The south is relatively stable. Although the Central Plains has been lost, everyone who sees this virtue and that virtue in the Central Plains sneers. Except for me, who is orthodox, the others are all pseudo-dynasties. When Liu Yu came to the Jin Dynasty, he was indeed a descendant of Liu Bang, but he did not name the country Han, but instead gave himself a water virtue and named the country Song.
A few decades after Shui De was born, Xiao Daocheng succeeded the Song Dynasty. After his son became emperor, he dreamed that he was walking in the palace wearing wooden shoes. God hinted that he had the spirit of Mu De. It was quite creative to say it.
As for the following virtues and that virtue, they have never been lacking.
"The Five Virtues Theory" can be explained from the Yao Dynasty to the Han Dynasty, but starting from the Three Kingdoms, many places cannot be explained. Tang Xiaofeng now knows that this is the Devil's Devouring Society sent by the Divine Kingdom of Heaven and Human Realm. They are always using yin and yang means to disturb the spirit of the Five Virtues. However, many famous Confucian scholars have begun to feel tired of talking about the Five Virtues. , and even sneered at the spirit of the Five Virtues.
If the "Five Virtues" have always made sense at least before the Han Dynasty, then the "influence between heaven and man" is simply far-fetched. Although there is a market in this era, the truly learned Confucian scholars are As a joke.
However, celebrities like Yao Chong and Gao Zhen, or literati like his father Tang Ao who had read the classics, never respected gods or worshiped ghosts. They did not deny that there might be ghosts and gods in the world. But I cling to the gentlemanly style that as long as I am upright, no ghosts or gods can do anything to me. This is the mentality of famous officials such as Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang, Wang Meng, and Wei Zheng in history.
This is the case with Yao Chong in the history books. There was a locust plague everywhere, and everyone said it was God's will. However, he would rather give up his official position than force everyone to exterminate the locusts. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was about to go on a tour, and there was a fire in the palace. All the ministers came forward one after another to persuade Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. He closed the door in the palace to reflect on himself, and even issued an edict to punish himself, but he said it didn't matter, but it was just in disrepair for a long time. The emperor stayed in the palace all day long, and it was easy to be deceived. As long as he didn't disturb the people, there was no problem in going out on patrol.
Although the theory of "reception from heaven and man" deceives many people, among real celebrities, the attitude of "not asking about ghosts and gods" is the mainstream.
And in history books, those who dare to go against the grain and sacrifice their lives to serve the country are often such people. This is because such people are not even afraid of ghosts and gods, so what else is there to fear? As long as you recognize your own principles, you will die without regrets. Whether a king can accommodate such ministers often becomes the criterion of whether he is a faint king or a wise king.
Of course, nothing should be done too well. Like the so-called "clean flow" of the Ming Dynasty, which was like "letting hands down and talking about one's character on weekdays, and dying to repay the king's kindness when faced with difficulties", it is too late, and the spirit is commendable, but it is of no benefit to the country.
Precisely because his father Tang Ao was such a person, Tang Xiaofeng naturally knew enough about these people, so when he swore just now, he did not swear by immortals and Buddhas, but only swore in the name of his ancestors and his own descendants. On the contrary, these people were even more embarrassed. People believe it.
It¡¯s all because these people don¡¯t respect gods or ghosts, but they don¡¯t insult their ancestors, they don¡¯t seek wealth and honor for a lifetime, they just want a clear conscience, they¡¯re not afraid of being broken into pieces, but they want to be famous forever.
Of course, Tang Xiaofeng did not swear randomly. After all, although the Qi of the Five Virtues really landed in Huashan, it was really not his fault. When Bai Hua went to steal the Immortal Pillow, he did not expect that the Qi of the Five Virtues would actually be in a place. In the pillow, and Zizhi took this pillow to sleep, it was even more unexpected.
Even he would not swear randomly on his parents and ancestors.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out Even so, Tang Xiaofeng also knows that people like them, if they meet a wise king, they will be the pillars of the ministers. But when they meet a faint king like Li Xian, they are often too straight-forward and do not know how to be tactful, so they easily lose their power and want to It would be difficult to expect them to change the court's attitude.
While they were discussing, Tang Xiaofeng took the time to look at Li Longji, but Li Longji just pondered, unable to tell his attitude.
From the very beginning, these people did not believe in the theory of "doing justice for heaven" put forward by the Dragon Clan, and even scorned the theory of the Five Virtues and the Theory of Heaven's Dispatch. Sima Zhao, who had seen through the Dragon Clan's heart, was naturally easy to talk to. Just look at Yao Yuanchong's words to Tang Xiaofeng when he was in the palace. From their attitude, we can know the stance of these celebrities to support the Alliance of China and fight against the Dragon Clan.
But the Qi of the Five Virtues is related to Li Tang's luck. Whether Li Longji is like them and doesn't care about the transfer of Wang Qi is hard to say. Of course, at this time, Li Longji would not think that if NineThe tripod is still there. According to the five virtues, this king's energy should have fallen on him. And even if he knew this, I believe that with his intelligence, he would never place his hope on the dragon clan's "acting on behalf of heaven".
Everyone was drinking here, and suddenly there was a noise outside.
Li Longji's expression changed slightly, and Chen Xuanli also stood up suddenly.
It sounded like someone had forced their way into Prince Chu's Mansion. There were many swordsmen guarding the outside, but the sound was getting closer and closer, and it was obvious that those people couldn't stop the intruder.
Chen Xuanli was about to plunder it, but he heard Tang Xiaofeng smile: "It's Princess Shengping who has arrived."
Before he finished speaking, a faint chuckle came: "Cousin, you want to treat me, how come you forgot about me as a girl?"
Chen Xuanli stood there and looked at Tang Xiaofeng in confusion, wondering how he knew. Li Longji smiled bitterly. He also had a headache for his aunt's daughter.
Li Longji whispered: "Please come in."
Chen Xuanli, on the other hand, stayed there, not moving, because seeing the movement, before he could go out to "invite", Weiwei was afraid that he would barge in on his own.
But before they could wait for Weiwei, the space around them twisted inexplicably, Weiwei's voice suddenly disappeared, and the Chu Palace suddenly became quiet.
Chen Xuanli frowned, flew out, flew in again, and whispered: "Her Royal Highness is gone."
Li Longji was stunned for a while. This girl came and went without even showing her face. What on earth was she doing?
Tang Xiaofeng knew that Weiwei didn¡¯t leave at all. There is a realm hidden within a realm, and there is a realm within a realm. This is clearly the cousin who suddenly set up an illusion and pulled the girl into the illusion.
He squinted his eyes, saw through the five elements with his spiritual energy, and saw into the illusion, where he was very happy. He pulled Yue Yue who was sitting next to him, secretly took out the magic ribbon and stuffed it into her little hand, and winked. Xiao Yue, who had always been ignorant, actually understood, quietly shrank, and disappeared. Soon the illusion became quiet.
Chen Xuanli glanced at him and generally understood what was going on, but said nothing.
¡¡
Cold, incredibly cold.
It¡¯s so cold that it¡¯s like walking on an endless glacier, alone, with no end in sight.
The girl suddenly sat up, her forehead covered with cold sweat, and she kept panting.
A little girl jumped in front of her and said cheerfully: "You finally woke up."
Yan Ziqiong stared at her: "I'm not dead?"
The little girl pointed her finger on her cheek, as if thinking about the answer to this philosophical question, and said: "What is life and what is death? If you die and become a ghost, you can run out and ask others if you are dead. , what¡¯s the difference between you and being alive? If you¡¯re alive, but you¡¯re a walking zombie, and you don¡¯t know why you¡¯re alive, what¡¯s the difference between you and the dead?¡±
Yan Ziqiong said coldly: "This is not the question I want to ask."
Bai Hua sighed: "You were not like this before."
Yan Ziqiong said expressionlessly: "Are you talking about the former Peach Blossom Fairy?"
"I'm talking about the Yan Ziqiong of the past," the little girl sighed, "No matter who you were before, you are still Yan Ziqiong now. Even if you go under the Sansheng Stone and think of the previous life, you will still be the Yan Ziqiong of this life. Yan Ziqiong, this is 'reincarnation'. You will be troubled because you are Yan Ziqiong. You will be in pain because you are Yan Ziqiong. You feel that you are both the peach blossom fairy and Yan Ziqiong. That is Your delusion."
Yan Ziqiong said coldly: "What about you?"
"I am Bai Hua, Bai Hua's Bai Hua, Bai Hua." The little girl smiled, "But unlike you, I have not been reincarnated, so I always know that I am the Albizia Flower Fairy. And you are different from the eldest sister. When Xiao was very young, I brought her under the Sansheng Stone, so she has always lived as a mandala, although she is not a mandala yet, she just thinks of herself as a mandala."
The little girl looked at the girl seriously: "And you are the same. You can become the Peach Blossom Fairy without remembering your past life. You are Yan Ziqiong, you are just Yan Ziqiong."
"What's the difference?"
"The difference between them is just like water is water and ice is ice," Bai Hua said with a smile, "Unless you become an immortal or a saint and realize the Peach Blossom, or after seven lives, you return to heaven and do it all over again. Go back to Bi Taohua, in that case, the few lives you have spent in the human world will become like a dream. You will no longer hate Lingxiaohua, because you will not hate a sister who killed your family in a dream, although you I will still go to fight with her, and then I can¡¯t beat her no matter what.¡±
"After seven lives, can you return to heaven?"
"The rules of heaven are like this."??
Yan Ziqiong said coldly: "Then if I commit suicide now, seven times in a row, will I be able to return to heaven?"
"Theoretically, it's true," the little girl said cheerfully, "but the number of days is determined. If God destined you to live a hundred years in this life, and you had to commit suicide at the age of twenty, God actually has nothing to do with you. But the number of days is fixed. King Ksitigarbha and the Ten Palaces of Hell cannot change the number of days for you alone, so you will be imprisoned in the City of Wasted Death for eighty years. If you think it is fun to play in the City of Wasted Death, you can play for eighty years. You won¡¯t go crazy in ten years, you can give it a try.¡±
Yan Ziqiong sneered: "If you die, you don't have to meet some people you don't want to see, that's not bad."
"Really? If you are referring to Sister Zixiao, that would be a pity," Bai Hua smiled, "Because if you die like this, you will definitely see her."
Yan Ziqiong said: "Why?"
"Because you have been drawn in the picture of the goddess scattering flowers," the little girl sighed. "The picture of the goddess scattering flowers is used to protect the ninety-nine flower gods. After the person who is drawn on it dies, the spirit will automatically Fly into it. The picture of the Goddess Scattering Flowers is now in the hands of Tang Xiaofeng. You also know that Tang Xiaofeng and Sister Zixiao are inseparable in body and soul."
Yan Ziqiong¡¯s pupils shrank.
The little girl smiled and said, "Do you feel now that it's really great that you didn't die?"
Yan Ziqiong looked at her: "Why didn't I die?"
"Because what Sister Yaochai is refining is not the Ghost Hidden Pill at all," the little girl said cheerfully. "She just put medicinal materials in the cauldron to soothe the mind and tonify the deficiency, and crystals that can make the water start boiling when the temperature is not high. Mine, you jumped down, smelled the fragrance of the medicinal materials, fell asleep, and then she helped you take a hot bath, do you feel very comfortable now?"
At this moment, there was a sudden and earth-shattering roar from outside, and the roars were endless.
The little girl smiled and said, "It's begun." She ran out.
Yan Ziqiong followed her and floated outside, jumped onto a branch, and saw groups of Longbo people rushing towards the jade platform where Dijiang was hiding.
Yan Ziqiong asked: "What happened?"
There was a flash of light and shadow around him, but "Little Bodhi" Yaochai appeared and said with a smile: "We led the two Long Bo people to Di Jiang and then killed them. These fools thought they were killed by Di Jiang. . The Longbo people are extremely vengeful and would rather die than let their enemies go, so they are now running to kill Di Jiang. Although Dijiang is powerful, the Longbo people are born with supernatural powers, which even gave immortals a headache in ancient times. , there are so many Long Bo people, Di Jiang must be starting to have a headache now Ah, by the way, it has no head."
