In accordance with Taoism, I did not tell others the content of the letter. I just said to Wen Zhang: "Wen Zhang, according to your master's words, follow me from now on. I plan to form a young guard, all composed of twenty
It is composed of young people under the age of 10, and I will leave it to you to manage this team."
Wen Zhang said happily: "Thank you, Master, for your kindness."
Wen Tianxiang hesitated for a while and said: "Sir, I would like to introduce my third brother to join Longya. Can you approve it?"
"Song Rui, have you and Wen Zhang discussed Longya's purpose and system?"
"Sir, we talked about it last night. Third brother agrees very much. It is also the wish of his master Daofa to help the rise of the Song Dynasty."
"Well, then Wen Zhang is welcome to join."
In history, Wen Zhang followed Wen Tianxiang's wishes and lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, remaining unknown throughout his life.
According to the views of Taoist masters, people who live in seclusion must first enter the world and experience it before they can achieve enlightenment. I also fully agree with this point. If you don't know the things of the world, how can you have the heart to live in seclusion?
As for the Youth Guard, it is not something I thought of on a whim. Once Yun Bofei is recovered and firearms can be widely used in actual combat, I will definitely establish a new army. Most of the current Forbidden Army, Border Army, Xiang Army, etc. are controlled by Jia Si
In the hands of Dao, and the combat power is extremely weak, I must build an army that is accustomed to fighting and loyal to me. However, according to the current situation, I can only start from a small place to avoid an immediate incident with Jia Sidao and others.
conflict.
The progress of Longya is also going very smoothly. In just a few days, Wei Xiaosi has bought the surrounding houses and changed its name to Shifeng Trading Company. However, Xiaosi has no idea what kind of business this trading company does.
The Security Department is headed by Yuan Ji, the Intelligence Department and the Supervision Department are handed over to Lu Xiufu and Wen Tianxiang respectively, but I don’t know who is in charge of the Commercial Department. I don’t have a clue about the MSG, glass and other products I imagined. There are indeed many things going on.
In this era where agriculture is emphasized over business, it is really not easy to find a few business wizards.
I feel like I have a headache just thinking about so many things.
I retracted my thoughts and flipped through the booklet on Shadowless Art. It was full of pictures and texts, but I didn't understand it at all.
"Wen Zhang, this Shadowless Art was given to me by your master. Have you studied it?"
"Shadowless Jue?" Yuan Ji asked in surprise.
"Sir, I have never learned it. The master said that only the wise can learn this Shadowless Art. Even the master himself only knows a little about it."
I handed the brochure to Yuan Ji and said, "Sir, take a look."
Yuan Ji took it and said while looking at it: "I have also heard my master say about the Shadowless Technique. This is a technique for cultivating the body. The light body technique of Longhumen is the best in the world, especially the Shadowless Technique.
Most of all, it is said that when you practice it to the extreme, your figure will float and you can control the wind in the air. In the Tang Dynasty, a senior from Longhu Mountain defeated the chief master of our Imperial Valley Martial Hall with this skill. Later, it was only someone from the inner palace in the valley who came out to defeat him.
.”
After reading it, Yuan Ji returned the booklet to me and continued: "Master, this technique is very profound. I can only understand a small part of it. Perhaps only someone with profound wisdom like Master can understand it. Next time I will learn martial arts."
Let’s explore together during class.”
I put the booklet down and said, "Okay, I'll take a closer look at it tonight. Xiaoqi, go back to the palace."
From Ningqian Palace to Ningkun Palace where Xie Daoqing lives, you need to pass through a garden full of plum blossoms. At this time, the sun sets and the afterglow shines on the plum blossoms, making it look very peaceful. The flowers in the garden are blooming and the fragrance is fragrant.
In the breeze, several plum blossoms fell to the ground from time to time.
A flash of inspiration came to my mind, and I suddenly remembered "Miscellaneous Poems of Jihai" written by Gong Zizhen in the Qing Dynasty.
In the majestic and sorrowful day, the sun is setting, and I sing my whip to the east and point to the end of the world.
Falling red is not a heartless thing, it turns into spring mud to protect flowers.
Spring is coming soon, so the word "spring mud" can be said. It's just that the second sentence is a little inappropriate and needs to be changed. By the way, Tianya, isn't the Mongolian organization called Tianya? And Tianya can also refer to the world.
Then change the second sentence to, "Yin Whip North Points to the End of the World", then everything will make sense.
I laughed, I had the gift, but was it plagiarizing the ancients or imitating future generations?
Quan Jiu arrived at Ningkun Palace in the afternoon. When I entered, she and Xie Daoqing were chatting happily. It seemed that Xie Daoqing liked Quan Jiu better. When Zhao Fu, who was still the loyal king, was preparing to accept his concubine, he originally planned to hire Lin'an prefect Gu.
Yan's daughter, but a minister directly nominated Quan Jiu, and the two sides argued endlessly. Lizong and Queen Xie Daoqing jointly recognized Quan Jiu as their concubine.
"The emperor is here, we are all waiting for you." Quan Jiu said happily as soon as she saw me coming in.
"My child, please give my mother a greeting."
"The officials are here, take a seat. There are only three of us today. We, mother and son, haven't had dinner together for a long time. We just happened to take advantage of Jiu'er's birthday to get together." Xie Daoqing said with a slight smile.
I seemed a little flattered. It seemed that Xie Daoqing was in a good mood today.
The food and drinks were very simple. The palace maid poured the wine for the three of us and then retreated far away.
Xie Daoqing picked up the wine glass and said: "Guan family, raise your glass. Let's toast Jiu'er first. Today's birthday is the biggest."
After Quan Jiu finished drinking, she hurriedly filled the cups for me and Xie Daoqing, then filled herself up and said: "Thank you, Queen Mother. Jiu'er and the officials will toast the Queen Mother together. I wish the Queen Mother good luck and eternal youth."
"Haha, Jiu'er is good at talking. Come and talk to me more often when you have nothing to do. There is no one in this huge Ningkun Palace that you can talk to."
"Jiu'er knows."
"Jiu'er, this is my birthday gift to you. Do you like it?" Xie Daoqing took out a crystal clear phoenix pearl and said, "This was given by a royal princess from the Western Regions a few years ago."
"Of course Jiu'er likes the reward the Queen Mother gave to Jiu'er." Quan Jiu took the Phoenix Pearl and said.
After hearing this, Xie Daoqing smiled and said: "You little guy will always please me. By the way, Guanjia, where is your gift?"
I thought, luckily I was prepared on the way: "After returning to my mother, I prepared a poem for Concubine Quan."
"What, a poem? You couldn't ask some minister to help you write it, right?" Xie Daoqing said with a serious look on his face.
"Mother, of course not. The poem as a gift was written by the child herself."
Xie Daoqing glanced at Quanjiu, who seemed to be equally unconvinced, and said, "Then let's listen to it."
I coughed twice and said: "The sun is setting in the vastness of separation, and the whip is pointing north to the horizon. Falling red is not a heartless thing, it turns into spring mud to protect the flowers."
Xie Daoqing and Quan Jiu are both proficient in poetry. When they heard the poem I read out, they knew it was not copied from any book and were shocked.
The two looked at each other, and Xie Daoqing's face became gentle and said: "The first two lines of this poem describe the official's ambition to clean up the mountains and rivers, which is bold, and the last two lines are full of tenderness, sweetness, and tolerance. What a poem.
Good poetry.”
Quan Jiu also said: "This gift from the official family is Jiu'er's favorite birthday gift in so many years. I just don't know what the name of this poem is?"
Naturally, I couldn't copy the title of Gong Zizhen's poem. I couldn't think of it for a while, so I had to say: "I haven't thought of a name for this poem yet. I'd better ask my mother to name it."
"Haha, okay, okay, it's rare for an official to have such a masterpiece. It's the end of the year now, so I think it's called the New Year's Eve."
"Congratulations on the birthday at the end of the year. It's simple and appropriate. It's very good. I thank my mother for the name."
"Jiu'er, eat more food and wine." Xie Daoqing said as he kept picking up food for Quan Jiu.
"Guan Jia, you should also eat more. I've heard that you are studying hard in the imperial study this month. It's really gratifying. My mother is also very pleased. However, you have been weak since childhood, so you have to take care of your health." Xie Daoqing rarely expressed such concern.
.
"Don't worry, mother. Since my son came to the throne, he has found that things are complicated. If he doesn't study more, it will be difficult to handle this important national matter."
Xie Daoqing nodded and said nonchalantly: "Well, officials need to be careful. They just need to persevere and never give up halfway. By the way, the government was discussing the public land law a few days ago. How do the officials want to deal with it?"
I thought, and returned to political affairs. I sorted out my thoughts and said, "When I return to my mother, I happen to have some ideas to discuss with my mother about the public land law."
"Oh? Tell me." Xie Daoqing looked at me with interest and said.
