Chapter five hundred and eighty fifth single-minded wedding eve
Since having Xichang as his backer, Luo Qing's missionary life in the capital has gone smoothly.
Not to mention an official of the Wucheng Military and Horse Division, not even the Daxing County Government Office, Wanping County Government Office or even the Shuntian Government Government Office had ever sent anyone to interfere with the actions of him and his followers. And Xu Xun seemed to be
He seemed to have forgotten him as a person and did not ask him to do anything anymore. However, he easily and skillfully gained the awe of Luo Xiang, Ma Yongcheng and Wei Bin - even Wei Bin, who was unlucky enough to break his leg.
Later, I finally became interested in his teachings and came to him every three days to ask all kinds of questions, including about this life and the afterlife.
With the support of these top people in the palace, even though most of the civil servants do not believe in this, one person who believes in it, whether it is their family members or servants, can win three or five people to believe in religion, and gradually gather around him.
At least there are thousands of believers. Although most of them are ordinary people at the bottom, there are also wealthy businessmen, family members of officials, and even middle-class nobles like Wei Bin, Luo Xiang, and Ma Yongcheng. After abandoning everything when they were young and realizing those teachings,
, the dream and persistence that had always been in his heart were finally being realized bit by bit, and he was naturally convinced that he would definitely be able to return to the empty hometown in his dream in the future.
On this day, as usual, Luo Xiang and the others came together again. The place where Luo Qing lived was no longer the mutton alley where dragons and snakes were mixed when he first arrived in the capital. Instead, it was in a quiet alley where merchants gathered in Dongcheng. A wealthy businessman
The three of them entered the house. He declined the maids and servants that the other party sent along with him, and did everything himself. On this day, the son went to welcome Luo Xiang and the other three people. After they came in, he sighed one after another when facing the three of them.
, he knew that Da Jue, who was so glorious in the eyes of these three outsiders, had suffered a setback.
He had no interest in the secrets in the palace and was unwilling to pry into them, but as a layman in the imperial court, he could barely understand. At this moment, when he saw Luo Xiang suddenly raising his head and looking at him, he had already made up his mind.
Prepare accordingly.
"Luo Zu." Regarding this person with the same surname who has a very high prestige among the people, Luo Xiang directly called out the names of the most devout believers. His expression even changed from his previous casualness, and he asked extremely seriously.
"You know everything about astronomy and geography, so can you tell what the world will be like in the future?"
"Even if there is a divine calculation to deduce blame, I'm afraid I can't do anything about this kind of problem." Although Luo Qing demonstrated the "divine calculation" in front of the three people under Xu Xun's instruction, he had no intention of doing anything at this critical moment.
Go up and start the puzzle again. Seeing Wei Bin and Ma Yongcheng look at each other, their faces seemed a little annoyed, he pondered for a moment and then said, "I can only say this to the three of them. Just like my most devout disciples, only then can they see
The brightest future, by the same token, no matter when it is. It is always easier to succeed if you are single-minded than half-hearted."
As soon as these words came out, the three of them were shocked. Especially Luo Xiang thought about the way he had used this kind of obstacle to Liu Jin. Just by looking at the way he dealt with Qiu Ju, he knew that if the truth was leaked, he would definitely not end well.
So, as if he suddenly understood something in his heart, he said to Wei Bin and Ma Yongcheng: "Luo Zu really woke up the dreamer with one word, and this is what he did. What's the use of our random thoughts? You know, the three of us
He just wants a place to stay, and he doesn’t compete with him for power. He won’t even give us a little allowance, so what’s the use of us wagging our tails now?”
"That's true." Ma Yongcheng took a deep breath, and then said as if to cheer himself up, "Besides, the emperor has asked Duke Dingguo and Marquis Bei to serve as the chief and deputy envoys for the wedding respectively, which shows that his favor remains."
"Moreover, when Baoding Prefecture sent the news, Lao Liu misjudged the situation and said something like that in front of the emperor. Didn't it make the emperor extremely angry? Although afterwards Lao Liu was serious about deposing Baoding Magistrate and Qingyuan Magistrate.
Officials, punish them for their crimes. The emperor almost got it right, but it was Pingbei Hou who understood the righteousness and advised him that changing local officials before the battle would be detrimental to suppressing the bandits, so he saved them. It can be seen that this time the two people fought, but they still
Ping Beihou has won a great victory." Wei Bin said this in one breath, and saw Luo Qing sitting there as if he was an old monk in trance. He simply regarded this place as the place where the three of them usually discuss, "Even if
Liu Jin won Zhang Cai, Xu Xun also lost Lin Han and Ye Guang, but as long as the emperor’s trust is still there, the situation between the two parties is uncertain!”….
"In that case, let's work together!"
The three people seemed to feel that they would be blessed by the gods when they made up their minds here, so they stretched out their hands one after another. After the three hands shook hands tightly, they looked at each other, and then Luo Xiang coughed dryly and said: "Luo Zu, thank you for your guidance today."
The three of us don’t have anything else to offer. We just happened to get a good piece of white jade, and we asked someone to carve a lotus platform and bring it to us. It will also come in handy when you give sermons to believers in the future!"
The three people came to Luo Qing with worries, but when they left, they all showed expressions of relief. It was not that Luo Qing's words really moved them, but that although the three were hesitant, they could
The bias in his heart was very clear. Luo Qing's words were at best the straw that broke the camel's back. However, the people who followed quietly did not know this of course. They only knew that the three of them had been agitated and restless these past few days.
Gui Gui just sat in this small house and immediately changed his mind as if he was a different person. When the news reached Liu Jin's ears, even he couldn't help but be stunned.
"The three of them have changed so much?" He held the armrest for a while, then rubbed the smooth wooden texture, and after a while he asked again, "Has Luo Qing checked carefully?"
"After checking, he is a magician!" The person he was following today was an eunuch who originally belonged to the Xixin Division and later to the inner factory. At this moment, he raised his head while kneeling on the ground and said decisively, "This is
People have been swindling in the capital for several years. They have tens of thousands of followers, and many of them have donated money. If it is allowed to continue to develop, it will definitely cause serious harm! Eunuch, and even Eunuch Ma have already
I have no doubt about it, how can I get it over time?"
Having said this, he lowered his head and couldn't help but licked his lips lightly. The people below reported that Luo Qing had received donations from many believers in recent years. As long as Luo Qing and his followers could be uprooted, the huge
The wealth will be his!
"Well..." Liu Jin hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Don't be busy now. It's important to get the emperor's wedding done first and don't cause any complications. Keep an eye on it for our family. Don't miss anything.
Pass anyone who comes in and out, and when the time is right, our family will naturally give you orders. But, if you dare to make your own decisions..."
Sensing the deep coldness in Liu Jin's eyes, the eunuch hurriedly kowtowed and shouted as if he was swearing: "Of course I am listening to Eunuch Liu's orders, and I will never dare to act on my own!"
"That's good, you stand down!"
Even for the people in the capital, it is extremely rare for an emperor to get married. Most of the emperors in the Ming Dynasty had the experience of being crown princes or grandsons, and they were already married before they ascended the throne.
After ascending the throne, it was just a matter of completing a formal procedure. The previous wedding had to be traced back to the Chenghua period when the queen was deposed and the queen was re-established. However, when the queen entered the palace, the palace happened to be
Feng Wan Guifei covered the sky with one hand, and the ceremony of the queen's establishment was far inferior to the Yingmiao wedding in the orthodox years. Therefore, Zhu Houzhao's wedding is naturally the most concerned matter in the entire capital, from officials to people.
On the seventeenth day of the seventh lunar month, the British Duke Zhang Mao was sent to report the wedding to Heaven and Earth, and the Prince Consort Cai Zhen was sent to report to the Ancestral Temple.
On July 20th, the British Duke Zhang Mao was ordered to be the chief envoy, and Li Dongyang, the young master and the Crown Prince's Grand Master and Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Huagaidian Grand Scholar, was appointed as the deputy envoy to accept, inquire, and pay tribute.
On the twenty-sixth day of the seventh month, Zhu Hui, the Duke of Baoguo, was ordered to serve as the principal envoy. King Jiao Fang's deputy envoy, Ji Jie, performed the ceremony of Najina Zhengzhao.
The procession of the ceremonial guard going to the queen's natal home was a grand occasion. But what people talked about the most was that it was decided to send out the notices on August 11 to welcome the queen into the palace. The chief and deputy envoys this time were Xu Guangzuo, Duke of Dingguo and Xu Xun, Marquis of Pingbei.
This is the match of a middle-aged young man. Ding Guogong and his family made their fortune as the heroes of Jingnan. Even the late Ding Guogong was not really a figure before, but now Xu Guangzuo is working steadily, and at least he has nothing in the government and the public.
Despite the bad reviews, no one raised objections to this honor this time. As for Xu Xun... Even in the court, there were still many officials who were full of disdain and malice towards this young upstart who had risen like a comet, but they knew that the little emperor had confidence in him.
Plus, the voice of opposition is naturally weak, and can only focus on the fact that both the chief and deputy envoys are military attachés...
In the end, it was Zhu Houzhao who reluctantly made some noise among the civil servants and pointed out that Li Dongyang, the chief assistant, would personally serve as the deputy envoy to welcome him, thus quelling many discussions.
This is the most glorious thing for a courtier. Even if Xu Xun regards it as a chore, at this time, he still has to practice the etiquette twice with the civil and military officials in Chaotian Palace, watching helplessly as some people around him insist on not doing so.
He fainted. He had to sigh with emotion at the good muscles and bones he had developed over the past few years. On this day, when he returned home from Chaotian Palace wearing clothes that were almost soaked with sweat, the first thing he did was to immerse himself in the water.
He fell into the hot water. When he heard the footsteps of someone coming in and opened his eyes and recognized Xu Liang, he smiled bitterly.
"Fortunately, Dad, you are now retired. When the time comes, you only need to salute as if it were the occasion. Otherwise, I am really worried that you will not be able to bear the torment of Chaotian Palace all day long."
"Your father and I have better muscles and bones than you! Fortunately it's past midsummer, otherwise you would have shed your skin even if you didn't die!"
Xu Liang knelt down behind Xu Xun, and then said with emotion on his face: "Speaking of which, the emperor has been kind to you, and he is the benefactor of our family today. I only hope that after the wedding, we can have many children and grandchildren.
In this way, the country will be stable and the world will naturally be at peace!"
"I hope so." Xu Xun buried his whole head in the water. After a while, he poked his head out again, shook the water droplets on his head and face, and then said word by word, "I would rather be a peace dog.
Don't leave people because of chaos. If the world is in chaos, even those with huge wealth will often have their families destroyed, let alone ordinary people."
"None of us have experienced war, but my father, your grandfather's generation, experienced the Tatar siege after the Tumubao Incident. Speaking of which, the current emperor, like Yingmiao back then, ascended the throne at a young age.
, is also a favorite of Da Ju, and also loves riding, archery and martial arts. The concerns of those civil servants are not without purpose. After all, there are examples of Yingmiao and Wang Zhen before them. Xun'er, you are the most trusted person by the emperor. You must remember that now
When the critical moment comes, you can’t make a wrong move.”
Xu Xun never discussed major matters with Xu Liang, not because he couldn't trust his father, but because he instinctively hoped that Xu Liang, who had lived in poverty for half his life, could live a leisurely and comfortable life, and not live in intrigues like him.
However, Xu Liang's words at this moment made him understand that although his father didn't care about anything, his heart was as bright as a mirror.
"father……"
"Okay, you don't need to tell me about things outside. I don't understand your father." Xu Liang waved his hands with a smile before Xu Xun finished speaking, and then said solemnly: "I just remind you that you
You are not alone. Behind you are me, your wife and your daughter, and there are many people who rely on you to get promoted and become rich, and many people who rely on you to realize their ambitions. Shouning, Duke of Dingguo
You should have seen the mountains of apology gifts sent by people from Hou Furen and Princess Dachang’s palace. If it weren’t for your confidence that they really won the battle, things would have been different. And I
I heard that Mr. Wangge in the cabinet can hardly help but want to become an official, so you must be prepared for all this."
"Dad, don't worry, I won't worry."
Seeing Xu Xun uttering these words categorically, Xu Liang breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and left with a smile. Xu Xun leaned in the barrel and pondered for a while, until the water finally almost lost its
After the temperature had reached the temperature, he stood up naked, picked up a soft towel and wiped the water droplets on his body, then picked up pieces of clothing and put them on. When he went outside to the yard with his hair disheveled, he saw
When I was lost in the twilight of the setting sun, I saw Abao running quickly into the courtyard gate...
"Master, Mr. Ye is here with Mr. Ye!"
"Invite them to the study."
When Xu Xun walked into the study and saw the father and son of the Ye family standing up to salute, he quickly stepped forward to help Ye Lu up personally, and then pulled up Ye Yao who was kneeling in kowtow, and then said: "You
Since you have devoted yourself to guarding your father's tomb for three years, I can't stop you. And the grandson your father mentioned before, send him here. Later, I will let Bohu take a test and teach him for two years before sending him away.
I hope I have a future in the Imperial College. If it weren’t for your father back then, I wouldn’t be where I am today, but I can still do this little thing!”
Looking at Ye Yao, who was still quite strong at a young age, Xu Xun suddenly felt something in his heart. He was a monk halfway, and his skills as a bow and horse were only half-done. However, his first child was a girl. Although Xu Liang looked like a baby,
However, after all, he is not as capable of teaching martial arts as boys. So after thinking about it, he said: "In addition, let Brother Yao stay in my home and guard the tomb. After all, it is hard work. Don't make the child miserable. Since he is determined to take up martial arts."
It’s time to start in the next two years.”
Ye Lu looked at Ye Yao who was full of hesitation, struggled for a moment and then cupped his hands and said: "Then Quanzi and my nephew will leave it to the Marquis!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come
