After leaving Li Zhixian, Ximen Qing returned home. Without taking a breath, he mounted his long-lost white horse again and went straight to the station of Shandong Inspector Song Qiaonian on the side of the canal.
Ever since Ximen Qing gave him the star, Song Qiaonian had followed the Star Master's instructions not to use Qianlong and kept a low profile. Apart from writing letters to his benefactor Cai Jing and sending people to Ximen Qing's place to visit, he was actually
He follows the rules and does not even take a step outside except official duties.
Therefore, as soon as Ximen Qing found the right one, he asked someone to inform him. Song Sangxu, Song Yushi's confidant, rolled up and rolled over to greet him. When he arrived in front of Ximen Qing, he bowed first, and his forehead almost touched her.
ground.
"My Lord Star Lord, my master said early this morning that he would like me to go to his house to pay homage to him. He said he had something important to discuss. Just as we were preparing the gift, Star Lord Lord Lord's Lord had already arrived. If it hadn't been foretelling,
How can you have such a clever plan? Star Lord, please come in quickly! Come in quickly!" Song Sang bent his waist like a bow, almost making it seem like he was not straightening up. Ximen Qing looked at him and thought that he was too tired.
His psoas muscles were worried, and he wished he could give him a piece of plaster.
He immediately put on an inscrutable look and held the pearl of wisdom in his hands: "May I ask the housekeeper, is Mr. Song okay?"
Song Sang's face was full of smiles: "Thanks to the great blessings of the Star Lord and the high officials, everything is fine! Everything is fine! If it weren't for this time every day, my master would pray three times in a quiet room without anyone disturbing him.
He has already come out to greet you, old man, on his feet!"
Ximen Qing smiled and said: "Old man? Am I very old?"
Song Sang said "Ouch": "Star Lord, please forgive me! You are like a jade tree facing the wind. You are in your prime of life. You are as blessed as the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and you live as long as the immortal pine in the Southern Mountains!"
As he spoke, Ximen Qing had already been let into the living room. As soon as he served tea, he heard a commotion outside. The Song Yushi had disheveled hair, wearing a five-flower Taoist robe that welcomed people with pine and crane, with bare feet and carrying a
A bright long sword rushed straight into the living room and pounced on Ximen Qing.
The incident happened so suddenly that Ximen Qing didn't even have the time to be surprised. Just as he was about to jump up to meet the enemy, the Song Yushi had already thrown away his sword and fell to the ground.
Failure to welcome him from a distance is a capital crime!"
Ximen Qing hurriedly pulled Song Yushi up and said with a smile: "Song Gong and I are friends from foreign countries, so there is no need to be polite!"
The Yushi of the Song Dynasty stood up and said respectfully: "I am in the quiet room stepping on the gangbang and fighting. Suddenly my heart moved. I saw the back of the star master and the official from the window light falling into my humble abode. That's why I became so anxious.
Come here. Could it be that the founder of the Sanqing Dynasty has a spirit, so he inspired the star master to come and meet him?"
Ximen Qing said "Oh": "No wonder I suddenly felt something at home, and on a whim, I just calculated with my fingers and came to meet Song Gong. It turned out that Song Gongcheng moved heaven and received the blessing of the founder of the Three Qing Dynasty.
.”
The Censor of the Song Dynasty was overjoyed and said: "This is not the place to speak. Please ask the Star Lord and the officials to move to my study."
When the two came to the study, the personal servant came to ask Song Yushi to change into the clothes for the guests. Song Yushi stared and said: "The star master is here, there is no one in the world who can wear Taoist clothes better than this."
To show my sincerity in hospitality? You slap in the face slave, get out of here quickly!"
After expelling all the servants, the two of them sat down. Ximen Qing said: "Song Gong wants me to come because there must be something important, so please give me your instructions!"
Song Qiaonian said: "How can I take the word "command" seriously? If it hadn't been for the Star Lord's high officials to help me save the star and avoid the disaster, I wouldn't be where I am today - Haojiao, the Star Lord's high officials learned that Tokyo Taishi
Sir, in yesterday’s letter to me, I also mentioned Star Lord’s high official.”
Ximen Qing said "Oh", put down the tea bowl, and raised his hands in a respectful gesture: "How can I, Ximen Qing, be so virtuous? How dare you insult the Grand Master's respect?"
Song Qiaonian said: "Star Lord's high official is too modest!" As he said this, he took out a letter from the letter box on the table and handed it over respectfully.
Ximen Qing declined hypocritically: "How dare I blaspheme the autograph of the grand master of the dynasty if I am naked? Duke Song's move will kill me!"
Song Qiaonian shook his head repeatedly: "When the Grand Master mentioned the Star Lord's high officials in the letter, he was full of praise for the Star Lord's high officials. He wished he could come to Qinghe to visit him in person, but what if he read the letter? What's wrong with that?
Blasphemy?"
Only then did Ximen Qing open the letter in his hand. Not knowing what the content was, he secretly cheered: "This Cai Jing is indeed a good character!"
When I looked closely, I found out that the reason was that in October last year, Song Qiao Nian received the prophecy from Ximen Qing: "In the year of Renchen, the Dragon, the Rabbit and the Haizi. The Chu Kingdom will revisit, and the capital will grant the title." He was puzzled to understand, so he wrote a long letter.
The letter, with four prophecies from Ximen Qing attached to it, was sent to Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo overnight and asked Cai Jing to read it.
Although Cai Jing is a smart and wise man, he was at a loss when it came to these four sentences. He couldn't figure it out anymore, so he simply dropped his hands and went to do other important things.
Unexpectedly, in February of this year, Wu Zishuo, the emperor issued an edict: "The prince and grand master were appointed to Cai Jing. He served as prime minister for two years and assisted in the government for eight years. He was the first to build Shaoshu. He worked hard for hundreds of years. He was demoted to the outside and was promoted to Li Li. Kuang Yuanfeng
Nowadays, there are not many servants who have been tested by gods. Moreover, they have experienced many blessings and benevolence, so they should be excellent. He can be reinstated as Grand Master, still the Duke of Chu, and given the title of Capital Master."
On the day of Yihai in the third month, there was another edict to summon Cai Jing to the palace, to meet with him, to introduce him to him, and to pay homage to him. According to the old custom of Wen Yanbo in Yuanfeng Dynasty, Xu still wore the jade belt.
For a moment, the favor increases.
Cai Jing suddenly realized that the "Year of Renchen" was this year; "Dragon, Rabbit and Haizi", rabbit refers to the month of Mao in February, Zi refers to the day of Wuzi, dragon refers to the month of March, and Hai refers to Yihai.
day; and the two auspicious words "Chu Kingdom revisited, the capital granted him the title" have now come true!
Surprised and delighted, Cai Jing immediately wrote a letter to Song Qiaonian, praising him greatly, and asked in detail about the daily life of Ximen Qing, a high-ranking official in the Star Lord. His words were full of admiration. What did he say at the end of the article?
"Looking into the distance with dry eyes, the mountains are far away across the water, and there is so much complexity that you can't even see it. However, there may be a close friend in the world with the sound of burnt tung trees; there are green duckweeds, it is better to have no giant eyes in the sky? If you are a wise man and don't give up, go to Tokyo and see the real capital.
What a great blessing in life! Qiao Nian, my disciple, can I possibly quench Yu Yi’s thirst for virtuous people?”
Ximen Qing read the letter and was overjoyed: "Wu Song is saved!"
Looking sideways, he saw Song Qiaonian looking at him eagerly with eager eyes. Ximen Qing smiled secretly in his heart and said, "Well, I'll just do this and fulfill Lord Song's wish!"
So Ximen Qing handed the letter back with both hands and said something. This is exactly:
Without the help of wise men, how can we teach a rough man to get out of the prison? But I don’t know what Ximen Qing has to say, and I’ll explain it next time.
