Chapter 1 Heavenly White Jade-3
After that, there was no one else to argue with the supervisors. These imperial students were self-satisfied, and when they were about to discuss it again, Zhang Bing said in a serious voice: "Everyone, Mr. Zhoushan is asking for orders on behalf of the people. He has written to the Holy One, please abolish the practice of plundering people's wealth and anointing."
The two evil laws of the land and the intervening law were reprimanded and exiled to Qiongzhou by the treacherous Prime Minister Cai Jing. Tomorrow is the day when Mr. Cai Jing leaves Beijing. All the officials in the Manchu Dynasty are frightened by the power of the treacherous Prime Minister, but the scholars of my Imperial College insist on making a big show of it.
Send Mr. Zhoushan off to Shaoyang, Shouyi, Yuanzhi, gentlemen, do you dare to go?"
"It's too much to ask," Chen Dong muttered, "Sir, he often said that every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. I can't wait to follow you to Qiongzhou." He looked at the side, and Deng Su also said: "That's it, a fly is like a dog.
What's there to be afraid of like a clown?"
The ancestral family law of the Song Dynasty is not to sin with words. Once there is a major national event, the imperial students can even say what the attendants dare not say, and attack the platform where they dare not attack. Even the most powerful Prime Minister Cai Jing has to put down his dignity and
On the one hand, we vigorously improve the food, clothing and benefits of the Imperial College students, and on the other hand, we personally take care of the assessment of the Shangshe students, both in terms of win-win and control. However, most of the Imperial College supervisors are more inclined to the old party and Qingliu.
Huang Jian, the Grand Master and Shaoqing, was quite popular among the Imperial College students, and Chen Dong and others were the senior figures among the Imperial College students. When the noise started, all the Imperial College scholars couldn't hold it back and started shouting "Let's go together, go together."
." "Don't you dare!" Zhao Xingde and Li Rui looked at each other, nodded slightly, and whispered: "It's such a grand event, how can you miss it."
The supervisors discussed the matter of going to the Bianhe Pier tomorrow to see off Huangzhoushan, and then they ran separately to contact everyone. Zhao Xingde also went to several rooms. When the contact was completed and he was about to return to the room, it was already dusk unknowingly.
, the setting sun gradually lowers the cornices hanging on the iron tower of Kaibao Temple, the glazed tiles reflect the brilliant light, the sunset is crimson on the horizon, the sparrows and swallows are chirping back to their respective nests, and the smoke from the Taixue official kitchen is curling up.
Taixue provides free meals to students. Students in the upper, middle and lower buildings all eat in the official kitchens of each restaurant. The dining hall of Huazhangzhai is quite spacious and bright, with a thick and heavy rectangular food table in the middle.
The beauty lamp made by the beauty lamp emits a soft and dim light. More than thirty imperial students sat on both sides of the dining table. In front of each six people were four dishes and one soup, large carp roasted with leeks, tofu mixed with Chinese toon, shepherd's purse boiled in plain water, and cold salad.
Willow sprouts, lotus seed soup, and the staple food are this fashionable vegetarian stuffed buns called steamed buns.
There is also an anecdote about Taixue's steamed buns. In the past, in addition to steamed buns, the staple food of the official chefs also included soup cakes, rice, wheat rice and cooking cakes. I don't know which official personally inspected Taixue.
The students ate steamed buns, and after the officials tasted them, they felt they tasted quite good, so they happily said, "You can feed your scholars with this, and you are worthy of it!" From then on, Taixue official chefs only cooked steamed buns as a staple food.
As the saying goes, they eat without talking and sleep without talking. All Taixue students work hard and only wipe their mouths after eating. There are servants from the government to clean up the dishes. Taixue's coursework is very strict, and the exams are severe and frequent. "
"Book of Changes", "Shangshu", "Poetry", "Zuo Shi Chunqiu", "The Analects", "Mencius", "The Doctrine of the Mean", "University", "Xue Ji", "Confucian Practice" and "Jing Jie" are all classics.
The required content is particularly focused on new classics such as "New Meanings of the Three Classics", "Shuo of Words", and "Annotations to the Tao Te Ching" written by former Prime Minister Wang Anshi.
The current dynasty held that poetry and poetry were minor studies, and history often relied on the past rather than the present. Therefore, whether it was taking part in the imperial examinations or the Taixue courses, they only focused on Confucian classics, especially the writings of the former Prime Minister Wang Anshi, who were proficient in Confucian classics.
It is the most basic condition for Taixue students to become officials. In Taixue, although there are some who are ignorant and just want to have a happy life, most of them only take a short rest after dinner, and like Zhao Xingde, read at night by candlelight until midnight.
Shen just turned off the lights and went to bed.
Late at night, thousands of concubines and maids in the White Jade Palace washed their faces and makeup before going to bed. The stream slowly flowed around the Taixue studio, and the air was filled with a faint scent of powder, which quite aroused some blood.
Fang Gang's scholars were daydreaming. Although it was a bit harder at this time, once a student was appointed as an official, his salary would be generous, he would be charming outside, and it would be common for him to have three wives and four concubines in his house.
Lying down on the hard wooden bed, the spring cold made Zhao Xingde subconsciously wrap the quilt tightly. This was a habit he had developed when he first came to this world. It has been more than ten years, and it is still both familiar and strange.
From the inexplicable fear at the beginning to gradually accepting and even integrating into it, Zhao Xingde's spirit has undergone tremendous changes under his taciturn appearance. However, in the eyes of his parents and teachers, it is just a child's gradual growth process. There is a vague rumor in his ears.
Not far away, the impassioned discussion between Chen Dong and several other Tai students in the Zhaishe courtyard was like going back to the university days before time travel. The voices outside the window gradually faded, and Zhao Xingde took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.
In the courtyard, Chen Dong looked solemn and lowered his voice: "The traitorous prime minister's gang members are spread all over the government and the public. I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve what he wants just by belittling Mr. Zhoushan for leaving the capital and taking the opportunity to attack the traitor."
Zhang Bing nodded and said: "What Brother Chen said is absolutely true, and my mentor has also taken this into consideration. However, the traitor has gained the trust of the Holy Emperor. If you want to bring him down, you must seize every opportunity to weaken his power."
Mr. Zhoushan is so powerful and popular among the people. As long as we raise our arms and shout out, there will be a crowd of responders. Even if the traitor uses government officials or even the imperial army to suppress him, he will lose hope. His status in the eyes of the Holy One is the same.
Weaken it little by little so that you can seize the opportunity and knock it down in one fell swoop.”
The next day, before dawn, the rooster crows at the fifth watch, and the imperial students in Huazhangzhai have already gotten up. Yan Zhenqing's poem "Encouragement to Study" in the former Tang Dynasty said: "The lights are bright at the third watch and the rooster crows at the fifth watch. It is the time for men to study. Black hair does not know how to study hard and early
, Bai Shoufang regretted that he was late in studying." It is a portrayal of the life of Taixue. Some of the scholars who study here can be candidates to rule the world within ten years, while some sink into subordinate officials and spend their entire lives in decadence, depending on what each person does.
change.
Breakfast was after the sixth watch. After Zhao Xingde finished washing, he went to the Taixue school grounds. Yesterday's snow had already been swept clean by the Taixue servants. There was a light morning mist between the pines, cypresses and bamboos, except for the birds.
Apart from the gentle chirping of the children, there were only the humming sounds from the imperial students doing morning exercises from time to time, which made the crystal clear dewdrops on the orchid trees tremble slightly.
There are already many figures practicing Daoyin in the bamboo forest next to the school grounds. Since Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin granted Huashan Mountain to Patriarch Chen Chuan, Taoism has flourished, and students from Taizu have been immersed in studying all day long. Over time, their hands and feet will inevitably become weak.
, joints are stiff. In order to clear the meridians and regulate Qi and blood, many people practice Daoyin. Under the willow tree at the other end of the school grounds, there is a place for sword dancing and bow pulling. These are the morning exercises for Taipei students.
Coursework.
Li Rui is concentrating on practicing Wu Qin Xi. At this time, people believe that the older the better, as the ancestor of all sects of Daoyin art, this authentic Wu Qin Xi together with the breathing method is the result of Li Rui spending a lot of money and silk.
After a lot of thinking, I learned it from a Taoist priest. Next to him, the Tai students next to him were mostly practicing "Ba Duan Jin" and other new popular stuff. They were practicing secretly and looking towards Li Rui.
They took a few glances in that direction, but practicing the guidance technique requires the cooperation of breathing, and Li Rui was not afraid of them learning it secretly.
Zhao Xingde took a deep breath. He had suffered from insomnia in his previous life. He heard that Tai Chi could calm the mind and calm the energy, so he went to a famous teacher to practice Tai Chi. Although he was not very brave and fierce,
But since I started practicing Tai Chi, I did have a deep sleep at night. But for some reason, when I woke up one day, I suddenly traveled back to a child in ancient times.
He thought about it and realized that he was really not an extraordinary person. The only difference was that in order to cure insomnia, he insisted on practicing Tai Chi every morning and evening. Maybe he was transported to this other world because of the aura problems caused by his practice. When he first arrived in the noble realm,
He missed his family and was not adaptable to the environment, so he wanted to go back in time. Without any other ideas, he thought that it would be possible to untie the bell but still need someone to tie it. Just for this trace of luck, he started from the age of seven.
From the beginning, Zhao Xingde practiced Tai Chi every day. At first, he even hid it from his father, Zhao Tixin, and his mother. Later, he simply made up an excuse to meet an expert in the mountains and continued to practice with great fanfare.
Over the years, although the desire to travel back has gradually faded and he no longer has the trouble of insomnia, doing Tai Chi several times every morning has become a habit that Zhao Xingde cannot break. He has persisted for more than 20 years in his two lifetimes combined.
.
At that time, there were many Daoyin techniques that were popular everywhere, but not many like Zhao Xingde. All the Tai students practiced their own techniques. After practicing, it was still early, and many people went to the other side of the school grounds, like Zhao Xingde, who did not understand swordsmanship.
They could only draw their bows hard to increase their strength, and a few people took out their swords and danced like a chicken. It is said that scholars in the Xia Kingdom, in order to become scribes, seriously shot arrows at the target every day, practicing hard like tattooed soldiers.
The spirit of killing was too strong, so the imperial students of the Song Dynasty only practiced bows in the morning, using the awe-inspiring righteousness in their hearts as arrows to determine the country and the world. The folk practice of martial arts was very strong in the Song Dynasty. Before Zhao Xingde went to Bianliang to study,
He practiced archery every day for self-defense. He didn't have a master, but he figured out a set of archery skills that could penetrate the enemy with a hundred steps. It wasn't until he entered Taixue that he only drew the bow every morning instead of shooting arrows in order to avoid ostentation.
The three-stone bow is the limit of hard bows. There are very few people in the Forbidden Army who can shoot the three-stone bow. No one could shoot the three-stone bow in Taixue. It has been sitting there collecting dust until Zhao Xingde first came to study.
He was taken away by someone else, so he went up to pick it up and pulled it. Although the imperial student next to him didn't think it was a skill to shoot a three-stone bow, it made people talk about it. Even the Master Jijiu of the Imperial Academy knew that there was such a fierce general among the imperial students.
However, the atmosphere at this time was that gentleness and elegance were considered desirable, while vulgarity and bravery were considered undesirable, so no one praised him to his face for his strength.
In fact, Zhao Xingde was quite reluctant to draw the three-stone bow at the beginning, but the good bows next to him were often taken first by others, but no one paid attention to this bow. He used it every day to build up his strength, and gradually gained the experience of practicing boxing.
Integrating into this, every time you draw the bow, you must be calm and relaxed, keep your body upright, hold your chest and back straight, look forward, hold the bow with your left hand like a stone, and take a long breath, and draw the bow with your right hand as slowly as practicing Daoyin Technique, until the bow is drawn
Like the full moon, he holds his breath for a moment, and when he feels that he has reached the limit of opening the bow, he slowly uses his energy to close the bow, his breath sinks into his Dantian, and he opens the bow again. As he exhales and inhales, he becomes longer and longer, and in the eyes of others, he becomes more and more
He felt that he was as tensile and elastic as a bow. As he opened and closed his arms, the hard bow made of fine steel actually felt soft and smooth, and he couldn't help but be even more amazed. Zhao Xing pulled the hard bow for more than thirty times, and his breath gradually became stronger.
I was thick and sweaty, so I just closed my bow and prepared to take a shower and change clothes before going out to have breakfast.
A red sun rises in the east, and the sunlight shines on the overlapping palaces and palaces one after another. The smooth white stone surfaces reflect a soft and holy light. The morning bell of Daxiangguo Temple rings melodiously. Soon after,
The bells of the Qingzheng Palace were also struck, and the sound of tens of thousands of monks and Taoists reciting Buddhist and Taoist lessons came slowly along the breeze. Looking from a distance, amidst the pure Sanskrit chants, the White Jade Palace really looked like a fairyland in the legend. Today,
I often eat dew and take elixirs, I am afraid that I will really have the hope of becoming an immortal and attaining the Tao.
Li Rui, who was traveling with Zhao Xingde, looked at the White Jade Palace not far away, and couldn't help frowning. As he walked, he whispered: "The White Jade Palace in the sky, five cities on the twelfth floor." Zhao Xingde shook his head helplessly when he saw his distracted look.
, smiled bitterly and said: "I have really fallen into a devil's trap."
When Li Rui was young, he went to study under Zhang Ziwang, a disciple of Shao Yong, the master of Yixue. He studied River Pictures, Luoshu, and the study of plum blossoms. He was quite unique. This guy once mysteriously told Zhao Xingde that he studied the works of Li Bai, the great poet of the former Tang Dynasty.
He wrote "After the Rebellion, Tianenliu Yelang recalled the old travel book and presented it to Liangzai, the prefect of Jiangxia Wei". He believed that this was a prophecy written in cryptic language and would be fulfilled in this dynasty three hundred years later.
"Yes, yes." Zhao Xingde nodded with a smile. After seeing Zhao Xingde's attitude of almost respecting ghosts and gods, Li Rui pointed angrily at the white palace shining with golden light in the setting sun not far away.
, said in a low voice: "Look, what is this if it's not the 'White Jade Capital in the Sky'? Today, I asked the immortal to eat dew and make elixirs, which is exactly what I said, 'The immortal caressed my head, and I tied my hair and received immortality'." Han
The sentence "Jia Company and Hu Bing" refers to the joint force between the imperial generals and the barbarians, and "the two saints traveled to Henan, and the two capitals were destroyed in Suiqiu Ruins." It refers to the destruction of the capital, and even the departure of two officials." Li Rui lowered his voice.
the voice said.
Zhao Xingde forced a smile and said: "Li Taibai was just describing the Anshi Rebellion, when the two emperors Xuanzong and Suzong of the Tang Dynasty were forced to flee, and Chang'an and Luoyang were destroyed by the rebel army."
Li Rui said: "Yuan Zhi, don't pretend to be confused. These two sentences are insinuating that the two saints are responsible for causing the ruins of the two capitals. Deliberately calling Li Heng and Li Longji "the two saints traveled to Henan" is not a mockery of Suzong.
Like Xuanzong, he could not uphold his ancestral heritage. However, during the Anshi Rebellion, Suzong Li Heng had not yet ascended the throne, and the loss of Chang'an had nothing to do with him. He relegated the immortal to rebel against King Yong, and then exiled Yelang. The situation at that time, if there was no other hidden reason, just
The situation of Li Longji's hasty escape can be ignored, but to avoid taboos for Li Heng, how can we point out the 'two saints'?"
As he spoke, he shook his head and said, "Taibaigong is so precise in his choice of words. How can he be confused when it comes to the merits and demerits of Qing Dynasty? This sentence must refer to the two officials who caused the "Two Capitals and Suiqiu Ruins" to leave the two capitals at the same time.
This statement should refer to Luoyang, Xijing, and Bianliang, Tokyo, but there are no two days in the sky and no two masters in the country. Why there are two emperors is puzzling."
Zhao Xingde's body trembled slightly. He recalled the historical events of the Jingkang disaster in his memory. He felt a bit chilly and felt horrified in his heart. He said, "I'm sorry, Dong Yan, you have fallen into a demonic barrier. Then let me ask you, 'Twelfth Floor, Fifth Floor'
What is the meaning of the sentence "city"?
"This," Li Rui looked like he was thinking hard and murmured, "there are five real people in the five cities, the five emperors, and there are eight officials outside the five cities, the Bagua God, and Taiyi is the nine ministers.
Besides the Bagua, there are the Twelve Floors, the Twelve Princes and the Twelve Doctors, which together with the Three Burners God form the Twenty-seven Doctors..."
Zhao Xingde smiled slightly. Zhao Xingde also had a good way to deal with Li Rui's paranoia. He directly threw him a problem and let him go on his own.
"What's so difficult about this?" Chen Dong suddenly appeared behind the two of them and patted Li Rui on the shoulder, startling the two of them. You must know that Li Rui's study of arithmetic was quite taboo against the imperial court.
Zhao Xingde, Li Rui, and Chen Dong were all close friends in the same dormitory. They all knew a lot of taboo secrets about each other, and they didn't care about each other. When he saw that it was Chen Dong, Zhao Xingde breathed a sigh of relief and was about to reprimand him.
, but Li Rui bowed his hand to Chen Dong and said seriously: "Brother Chen, please give me some advice."
Chen Dong smiled and said: "What's so difficult about this? The building was built with human power, which is beyond the plains. The system of this dynasty has twelve levels of titles: king, heir king, county king, duke, duke, founding duke.
, Founding County Duke, Founding County Duke, Founding Marquis, Founding Uncle, Founding Son, Founding Male, are the twelve-story towers, which are used to display their nobility. A city, a place where people gather, or a key location.
, to facilitate attack and defense. Looking at the center of the court, that is, the Imperial Academy, the Hanlin Academy, the Taijian, the Privy Council, and the pavilions, these five places are most conducive to the unity of the party and the defeat of differences, and they can be called the five cities."
