After Zhang Yu returned to his residence, he thought about it carefully, and then wrote a letter to Yang Ying, saying that he wanted to visit the Governor, and frankly said that he would discuss some matters concerning Tianxia etiquette with him in private.
Sentence, ask her if she can make arrangements.
Yang Ying was very happy after receiving the letter. After discussing it with her brother, she immediately sent a reply, saying that she had made arrangements and she could arrange a carriage to pick him up when it was convenient for her husband.
Zhang Yu knew that if this matter was delayed for too long, many changes might occur, so after sending the letter again, he arrived in the capital the next day.
Yang Ying personally stood at the door to greet you, clasped her hands and said, "How are you, sir? My brother is waiting for you in the hall. Please come with me, sir."
After Zhang Yu bowed, he followed her inside, all the way to the corridor and hall, and finally stepped up the steps to the inner hall, where he saw a child in casual clothes standing in the hall.
Although he had never seen the person before, he sensed his aura and knew that this was Yang Jue, the current Grand Governor of the Protectorate, so he put his hands together and saluted, saying: "The Grand Governor is polite."
The little boy also raised his sleeves and returned the greeting with a serious look, saying: "Zhang Shenzhi is polite."
After reciting the etiquette, the boy invited him to sit down, and someone immediately offered him fruit and vegetable refreshments. He looked at Zhang Yu and asked seriously: "Did Zhang Shenzhi come here because of a dispute over etiquette?"
Zhang Yudao: "I came here for this reason."
The boy thought for a while and said, "Is Zhang Shenzhi trying to persuade me to accept the old gift?"
Zhang Yudao: "I'm afraid the governor made a mistake. Tianxia's etiquette is Tianxia's etiquette. How can we talk about an old word?"
At this time, a voice came from outside the door and said: "I don't agree with what Zhang Shenzhi said. What is the old etiquette? It is an outdated etiquette. However, the world is only changing. The old etiquette is no longer enough to solve the problem. Only the establishment of new laws can soothe things.
up and down."
Following these words, a man walked in from the outside. He was about thirty years old, with a small beard, slender eyebrows, and large eyes. He was very energetic and quite charming.
He first bowed to the person sitting on the seat and said, "The Governor is polite." Then he bowed his hand to Yang Ying more casually and said, "The Guard is polite."
Yang Ying snorted, obviously she didn't like this person very much.
The boy said: "Zhang Shenzhi, this is my clan brother Yang Qiu. Zhang Shenzhi said he would come to discuss etiquette. My clan brother also has many doubts, so he wanted to come to the banquet to listen."
When Zhang Yu came here, he made a point of understanding it. Now there are two factions within the Yang family. One faction is a staunch conservative faction, while the other faction wants to encourage the Protectorate to tear down the beacon tower and then become the real master of the East Court.
Since this person rejects Tianxia's gift, it is obviously the latter.
But the arrival of this person should have been deliberately arranged by the Grand Governor.
Superintendent Chi and others all thought that the Grand Governor was still young and did not understand many things, but he believed that the Grand Governor could not be treated simply as a child, as now, he was afraid that he would not be able to avoid his etiquette.
Said, so find someone to come and block in front.
Needless to say, this must have been the method adopted by Governor Yang.
This man really mastered the balancing act. Under his command, the Shenwei Army had been working steadily. Even if they wanted to cause trouble, they were quickly suppressed. It was not until his death that the situation in the Protectorate became better.
getting worse.
Yang Qiu found a seat and sat down, looked at Zhang Yu, smiled and said: "I heard that Teacher Zhang did not get you into Taiyang Academy, but through self-recommendation.
, it may not necessarily take much careful research.”
Yang Ying was unconvinced and said: "Nonsense, how could you not understand etiquette? When he teaches etiquette, he is much better than those teachers."
Zhang Yu said calmly: "Mr. Yang advocates new etiquette, but rejects Tianxia's etiquette as old etiquette. If I don't master etiquette, shouldn't you be happy?"
Yang Qiu laughed, but did not answer the question, thinking to himself: "I know Zhang Shenzhi is talented, but for someone like you, you can only recommend yourself to the school, but cannot be admitted. Doesn't that show the original etiquette of the Protectorate?
Is something wrong?"
Having said this, he saluted Yang Jue on his seat and said: "Captain, now in the Protector's Mansion, incompetent people are sitting in high positions, while talented people are depressed and unable to express themselves. The courtesy of the Protector's Mansion is really
It’s reached the point where it’s no longer possible to change.”
Zhang Yu glanced at him, and now he understood. This person's position was lower than what he thought. He didn't care about the division of new and old rites at all. He just wanted to take advantage of the new rites to seek further benefits.
own position.
The child did not speak, but looked at Zhang Yu, as if expecting what he would say next.
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said to Yang Qiu: "Since Yang Langjun is from the Yang clan, he should have been taught Tianxia etiquette when he was young."
Yang Qiu did not deny this, saying: "That's natural." But he added, "But Yang has stopped practicing those old rituals a long time ago. These things are really cumbersome and complicated, and they are neither edible nor edible."
There is no need to waste time, and it is quite disliked by others on weekdays, so what's the use of it?" He turned to look at the child and said, "I think the governor also understands it deeply."
At this moment, Zhang Yu suddenly said lightly, "I wonder if it is possible for Yang Langjun to combine his five fingers?"
Yang Qiu was puzzled and asked, "What does this mean?"
Zhang Yu only said: "Yang Langjun will know it once he tries it."
Yang Qiu looked at the seat, sneered, and tried to put his fingers together, but he soon discovered that he couldn't put his fingers together because his knuckles were slightly twisted, and he looked like there were huge gaps inside.
He could only use his other hand to grab and pinch, trying to join them together, but after doing it for a while, he seemed to have thought of something, and the expression on his face changed slightly.
Zhang Yu said calmly: "Yang Langjun's bone fracture disease has already begun."
Yang Qiu's face suddenly turned pale, and his hands began to shake. Even the children and Yang Ying in the seats had frightened expressions in their eyes when they heard this.
Osteoarthritis is a very terrible disease. The bones of people suffering from this disease are easily deformed. Not only the bones of the body, but also the skull may be affected. People with the disease are often in unbearable pain and can break any bones.
The torture for a normal person is unbearable.
The reason why Yang Xuan, the governor-general at that time, died young was because he contracted this disease.
He was only over eighty years old when he died, which was too short-lived for a Tianxia person who should have lived a long life.
In fact, this disease was brought about by Yang Xuan's other half, the An people, and it was a genetic disease often seen in the An people's royal family.
Both Yang Jue and Yang Ying may inherit this disease.
As for Yang Qiu, his grandfather was the brother of Yang Gong, the second governor, who was also married to a woman from the Anren royal family.
Zhang Yu looked at Xiaotong and Yang Ying and said, "The governor and the guards can also take a look."
The two people quickly stretched out their hands to take a look, and found that the fingers were arranged very neatly, and there was no such problem. They couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
But Yang Ying is still worried, because this kind of disease has been bothering the Yang clan, and she doesn't know when the disease will occur.
After being panicked for a while, the child calmed down and said, "Mr. Zhang, do you have any solution for the broken bones?"
Yang Qiu was startled, then looked over with expectation.
Zhang Yu nodded with certainty: "Yes!" He looked at the three of them, "That is Tianxia's gift!"
"What?" Yang Qiu got angry and said, "Zhang Shenzhi, don't talk nonsense!"
Zhang Yu said calmly: "I'm not talking nonsense. Yang Langjun has been taught etiquette. He must understand that there are many etiquettes about posture in Tianxia etiquette. When these etiquettes are integrated into daily life, after practicing for a long time, they can straighten the muscles and bones.
, straighten the facial features, beautify the appearance, and dare to speak. In the past, when Yang Langjun did not abolish the Tianxia ritual, he thought he was healthy and free from illness. Later, he gradually developed minor illnesses after not using it. "
Although Yang Qiu felt that it made some sense, it did not convince him.
He sneered, "How can these be compared? I was still young at that time, and now I am over forty, how can I not have some ailments? Moreover, my uncle, who took office as the Grand Governor, abides by the Tianxia etiquette, walking, sitting and lying according to
He behaved politely, but he was still suffering from broken bones, which shows that what Zhang Shenzhi said was nonsense."
Zhang Yu glanced at him and said: "It was precisely because of the rituals of Tianxia that the former Governor was able to live over eighty years. I would like to ask you, among the Yang clan, how many of your clansmen who suffer from bone fractures can live past fifty years?"
"
When Yang Qiu thought about it, it seemed that this was really the case. He murmured to himself: "Could it be that I was really wrong..." He suddenly raised his head and asked as if grasping a life-saving straw: "Then if I perform Tianxia's ritual again now, what will happen to me?"
Is there any help?"
Zhang Yu nodded and said: "Of course there is help. There is a set of breathing techniques here. As long as you follow Tianxia's etiquette and practice diligently every day, these symptoms can be suppressed."
"Seriously!" Yang Qiu said happily: "Zhang Shenzhi won't lie to me, right?"
Yang Ying was immediately dissatisfied and said: "Sir, how could you lie to us?"
Zhang Yudao: "There should be people in the governor's mansion who understand the rules of Qi. If the governor is worried, he can select a few Yang clan members, practice the etiquette diligently for a period of time, and then test it again, so that he can distinguish the authenticity."
The child thought for a while and said doubtfully: "Zhang Shenzhi, since the Tianxia etiquette combined with the breathing method can have such an effect, why has no one mentioned it to us before? No one has mentioned it to my father."
Yang Ying was also stunned.
Yang Qiu slapped the table hard and said angrily: "Yes, if there is such a method, why didn't you tell my uncle about it?"
Zhang Yuping said: "That's because this method of matching breathing is an ancient ritual of Tianxia, and few people know it now."
Yang Qiu didn't believe it: "Doesn't even Taiyang Academy know about it?"
Zhang Yu said calmly: "Because the method of coordinating breathing is true cultivation, which is what Xuan Xiu thinks is passed down from the old cultivation. After the new method was established, it was slightly simplified on the etiquette, and these changes in breathing were removed. This method
Gradually, it was lost, and now there are only a few people who know this method. If I hadn't been taught it by an elder by chance, I would still have no idea about it."
Because Tianxia people live long lives and rarely suffer from illness, it doesn't matter even if they don't use these breathing methods. But for mixed-race people, or simply aborigines, it's very different.
If his teacher hadn't been a veteran practitioner who made corrections to the etiquette given to him by Tao Sheng as a basis for laying the foundation, he wouldn't have known about it.
The child sat above, deep in thought.
Yang Qiu didn't dare to say anything now. If this breathing was really useful, then if Tianxia's gift was abolished, wouldn't it be a life-threatening situation for himself?
After a long time, the child looked at Zhang Yu and asked cautiously: "Is this the reason why you came here today, sir?"
Zhang Yu looked at him and said: "I only want to ask the Grand Governor a question. Does the Grand Governor still think that he is from Tianxia?"
The kid was stunned for a moment, then said seriously: "Of course I am."
Zhang Yu nodded and said: "In that case, there is no need to say more." He took out a pre-written description of the breathing method from his sleeve and placed it on the table in front of him. Then he left the table.
He walked out of his seat and came to the middle of the hall, saying: "I have said what I want to say today, so there is no need to stay here for a long time. The Grand Governor, Yang Weiwei, takes leave."
After raising his sleeves and saluting everyone in the seat, he turned around and walked out of the hall.
Yang Ying also hurriedly left her seat and said: "Sir, let me see you off."
When Zhang Yu walked out of the capital, he looked up at the stars in the sky above, and there were always a few that were particularly bright.
When he was at the table just now, he could see that the Grand Governor was actually very smart and had his own ideas. You didn't have to teach him anything. You just had to explain the matter clearly and let him make his own judgment.
Of course, if it were Yang Ying, there would be no need to count on it.
However, as Superintendent Chi and others said, the dispute between Wen and Li is only a battle between Wen and Li. Although it is also very important, it is not the most critical, because in the end it is force that determines the outcome of both parties!
There will be a battle between the Shenwei Army and Xuanfu sooner or later, but we don’t know when it will break out.
He thought to himself that although he had read the "Spiritual Seal", it could only protect himself, and there were still many shortcomings in all aspects. Therefore, next, he needed to find various seals that could increase his own strength.
