The door of Yanfa Temple has been reopened after being closed for two days.
As the oldest Taoist temple in Longhu Mountain, Jiangxi Province, Yanfa Temple has always been a place where Zhang Tianshi and Taoist masters retreat to calculate the celestial phenomena. Disciples of the Longhu Mountain lineage all know that Yanfa Temple is usually closed when there are changes in the celestial phenomena.
The two masters entered the temple for retreat only after experiencing the celestial phenomenon of Phoenix Nirvana on the night of July 15th, and did not leave the Dharma Performance Temple until the early morning of two days later.
Zhang Tianshi looked sluggish, but said with a smile: "In the first year of Kaiqing (1259), Kublai Khan, the Great Khan of Mongolia, once sent people to Longhu Mountain to ask me about major events in the world. At that time, I also calculated the celestial phenomena, and the result was
Twenty years from now, the world will be unified, and the winner is the Northern Emperor Star. I didn’t expect that a phoenix would appear in Nirvana the night before yesterday. It seems that the Zhao family has been protected by heaven, and things are going well."
The Taoist master nodded slightly and said: "A few months ago when the new emperor ascended the throne, after I observed the celestial phenomena, I left for Beijing to observe the new emperor's face with my own eyes, which confirmed my guess that the destiny of my emperor's star had changed. From today's calculation results
Look, there are variables in the outcome, the Northern Emperor Star is no longer the only star, it seems that I, the Emperor Star, have the upper hand."
"Haha, that's right. I only teach for myself, unlike my elder brother who cares about the Song Dynasty."
Daofa smiled and said: "So you can become the current heavenly master of the Zhengyi Sect, but I, brother, have not broken up with my ordinary heart. I am ashamed."
Zhang Tianshi also smiled and said: "In more than ten years, major events in the world will be revealed. Brother has his own beliefs, so why should he be ashamed to say so."
In late July, the weather in Lin'an was still hot, but I had long been accustomed to the scorching heat in the south. Even though there was no air conditioner or fan, I didn't feel too sad.
Xie Daoqing and Quanjiu picked from left to right, and finally identified four concubines for me from the more than ten selected beautiful girls. These four girls were all top choices in terms of appearance, figure, and knowledge. I also
Not wanting to go against Xie Daoqing's good intentions, I took some time off.
After meeting the four beauties, the matter was settled. The only one among the four that made me take a second look was a woman named Wang Qiuer. It was not that there was anything special about this woman, but her name and location.
The name of the girl Ling saved at Lingyin Temple that day was exactly the same.
I let Xie Daoqing and Quanjiu make the decision and prepare to designate these four beauties as the "Four Ladies of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter" during the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th.
Historically, Duzong of the Song Dynasty did have four concubines in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and they were quite trusted by them. Zhao Fu once handed over official documents from the court to Wang Qiuer and four others for comment. But I don't remember this period of history.
In recent times, the time I spend giving instructions on memorials has gradually decreased. Firstly, it is because the ministries in the DPRK and Central Government are gradually getting on the right track, and secondly, Quan Jiu has adapted to the position of personal assistant.
There are only three memorials tonight for which Quan Jiu has not written any suggestions.
The first memorial was written by Song Chengzu, the newly appointed member of the Ministry of Punishment (an official in the Sixth Ministry of the Song Dynasty, equivalent to today's deputy director of the Ministry of Public Security). Jinhuatong judge Xing Fangzhuo suddenly disappeared two days ago.
"How is this possible?"
I looked at it carefully.
Song Chengzu's two most capable generals, Hou Qiang and Yi Changjiang, led people to monitor Xing Fangzhuo day and night. Just the night before yesterday, Xing Fangzhuo disappeared under their noses. Both Hou and Yi were experienced people, and the officials they led were also
From the Ministry of Punishment in Beijing, it stands to reason
It is said that Xing Fangzhuo would not be aware of it, and even if he was aware of it, he would not be able to escape the surveillance of the two people. The results of the on-site investigation showed that Xing Fangzhuo disappeared suddenly, and there was no sign of anything moving in his residence, just like
It just disappears into thin air.
I know that Xing Fangzhuo is not proficient in martial arts. It is indeed unrealistic to escape alone under the supervision of the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice who are highly skilled in martial arts, unless there is external assistance. If the possibility of the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice being an internal agent is ruled out, then it must be someone whose martial arts is far superior to Hou Yi.
This is only possible because of human beings as an external force.
It seems that there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the alliance.
In addition, the investigation into the prefect Ren Yisong has ended. There is no sign of corruption in Ren Yisong. He handed over government affairs to Xing Fangzhuo and immersed himself in opera all day long. Even after Xing Fangzhuo disappeared, Yi Changjiang reported it
He just learned about it. According to the law, it is a serious crime of dereliction of duty. Please give your Majesty's instructions.
Alas, I sighed and seemed to be saying to myself: "Nine out of ten officials in the government are corrupt, and the remaining one is guilty of dereliction of duty."
"Officials, don't worry, these are all old issues. The situation between North Korea and China is now developing for the better." Quan Jiu consoled him.
"Well, Jiu'er is right."
I picked up a hard pen and wrote on the memorial that Xing Fangzhuo's matter was thoroughly investigated. Ren Yisong was secretly arrested on the spot and escorted to Beijing. He was handed over to the Ministry of Punishments for interrogation and then dealt with according to law. In addition, the Ministry of Personnel immediately sent people to Jinhua to temporarily
Prefect affairs.
The second memorial was submitted by Lu Xiufu.
According to reports from the north, Mongolia's Zhongshu Province recently made a decision to extend the Zhongshu provincial system to various administrative regions. The original organizational system was cancelled, the boundaries were re-established, and a three-level mechanism of province, state (prefecture), and county government was established.
.I once heard your Majesty say that we should replace the various branches of our country with provincial systems. Now that Mongolia has begun, I suggest that our country should also immediately start this change.
"Isn't this provincial system just a name change?" Quan Jiu asked.
"That's not true. The provincial system mainly collects power for the imperial court and reserves power for local governments. It is not as simple as changing the name." I explained. In my memory, the Mongolian provincial system was implemented after Kublai Khan unified China.
, how could it be earlier?
The third memorial still came from the Ministry of Punishment. It was a memorial from a friend of Qian, the prefect of Lin'an, who was forwarded by the Ministry of Punishment. It was related to Jia Sidao, the Grand Master of the dynasty, and Ma Tingluan, the Minister of Rites.
"Hey, what bad deeds did Jia Sidao have that people caught? Is Ma Tingluan also involved?"
Jia Yun, the son of Jia Xuan, an official in the Jia Mansion, had an argument with a businessman in a casino, and a fight ensued. Jia Yun and others beat the businessman to pieces. The businessman could not swallow his anger, so he sued Jia Yun to the government.
Isn't it just a simple civil dispute, and this needs to be reported to me?
I continued reading.
According to the laws of our country, Qian Shuoyou was sentenced for the crime of public brawl. Both parties were sentenced to seven days in prison, and Jia Yun additionally paid for the other party's medical expenses. However, both parties refused to accept it. The businessman claimed that he was a relative of Lord Ma Tingluan of the court and would not sell it.
The account was filed, and a complaint was filed directly with the Ministry of Punishment. Jia
Yun did not expect that the businessman knew that he was from the Jia family and dared to continue to appeal and also reported him to the Ministry of Punishment. However, Qiansuoyou insisted that the matter was just a local security case and believed that the Ministry of Punishment did not need to intervene, and the Ministry of Punishment did not know about it for a while.
How to deal with it will be reported to the emperor.
"Even big things have to be reported. This Chen Zongli is getting less and less courageous." I said a little annoyed.
Quan Jiu smiled and said: "Guan family, this matter can be big or small."
"Really, Jiu'er, let's talk about it."
"To put it small, it was just a simple civil dispute. A man named Jia and a man named Ma had a dispute over gambling, which led to a fight. Both parties were dissatisfied and continued to appeal. To say it big, it was the two important ministers of the imperial court, Mr. Jia and Mr. Ma.
It’s a fight.”
"No way, how could such a trivial matter involve so much?"
"Exactly, the Guan family, Jia family, and Ma family respectively represent the two major forces in the current dynasty. Although the Jia family is the only one, the Ma family has the background of the Queen Mother and should not be underestimated."
I smiled and said approvingly: "Jiu'er, in your opinion, how should I deal with it?"
"Guan Jia, are you trying to test Jiu'er on purpose?"
