Henan Road!
Imperial capital!
The environment in the Imperial Capital has been quite depressing these days!
News about the North and South Yamen kept coming. During this period, Huangfu Mingze, Wang Yu, the Three Kings, and Tianshi Dao were constantly communicating with each other. They were obviously planning something!
Within a few days, Wang Yu and Tianshi Dao began to twitch their troops.
His Majesty was furious after learning the news. They hadn't even fought yet, but they didn't expect that the other party would actually want to take the initiative to fight.
Huangfu Mingzhao immediately ordered Chu Xizhao to organize his army and prepare for war, and the army of all the provinces should also prepare to attack as soon as possible. When the autumn harvest is completed and the food and grass are ready, another round of battle will start between the two armies.
After more than a year of respite and rest from the truce, all forces are adjusting their status. If this battle comes again, it will definitely be another earth-shattering battle!
Seeing that there is only half a month left before the autumn harvest is completely over, a shocking change is also unfolding in the imperial capital!
As dusk approached, the people who came to the banquet gradually left, and the excitement just now was not as good as before.
A year ago, Queen Yin gave birth to twins, a dragon and a phoenix, for Your Majesty. Through this, the Queen's maternal clan became more and more prominent.
And as it was Yin's mother's seventieth birthday, the Yin Mansion became more and more lively, with a lot of people coming to visit!
Outside the Yin Mansion, there are children from poor families who are smiling and chatting happily with the children of the powerful. The talented people become the staff and retainers of the powerful, who have no worries about food and clothing, and have more opportunities to enter the political stage.
At this time, their faces were full of flattery, and they were so relaxed that they even bent down and used them as seats for the powerful children to step on their horses.
As a child from a poor family, how to pass the imperial examination is a threshold, and how to get a decent official position after passing the imperial examination is another threshold, and how to rise to prominence after getting an official position is even more of a threshold.
Come and try it quickly. 】
For example, Bai Shang, the Minister of Rites, was born into a poor family, but he was a subordinate of the late emperor.
For example, Li Mingjing, the former governor of Hebei Province, although he also came from a poor background, he was appreciated by the prime minister at the time, and this was how he rose to prominence!
These two people, their success and fame are partly due to luck, they met the noble people in their lives. Another part of the factor is that they themselves are talented and have great talents. Otherwise, being a noble person is not enough!
However, in real life, how many people like them are talented and lucky enough to meet noble people? Even if most people, such as those with a little talent, pass the imperial examination, they can only go to various levels of yamen to become insignificant officials.
More than that, the situation here is their normal situation. I hope that I can connect with these powerful people to create a different future for them. The best thing is that I can have the opportunity to become the disciples and former officials of these powerful people. If I am really lucky enough to join in the future, In terms of official career, there will be more opportunities for promotion in the future.
Therefore, this thing that many people find very shameful is very normal here. This is a matter of family background. Casting a good child can save you ten years of struggle!
Well, maybe more than that!
And more disciples from poor families didn't even have a chance to help others. They took a few rolls of bamboo slips and a baggage, and headed for the next place that could make them famous in frustration.
In any era, life is not easy for ordinary people! In troubled times, life becomes even more difficult, let alone entering an official career, or even trying to find a way out of an official career.
Of course, in troubled times, the situation of these down-and-out scholars is countless times better than those of those people, compared to those who exchange their sons for food and expose their bones.
"Thank you so much to the holy monk for preaching to Grandma Ai today!" A gentle voice sounded from a carriage!
And from the simple words of this gentle female voice, one can roughly guess that this person is probably the current queen!
Today, Queen Yin only paid her grandmother's birthday in private at the back house of the Yin Mansion, and did not make a grand show of her holiness in front of everyone.
Therefore, in order to hide his identity when traveling, he did not use a phoenix chariot, but just arranged an ordinary carriage.
However, after all, the queen of the dynasty rode in an ordinary carriage, and it was not really that ordinary.
The carriages that other people ride on are all made of wood. At any rate, they just painted them once. Some painting would be great.
When the carriage is in motion, there will be a lot of dust outside, so the windows of the carriage are made of silk curtains, firstly to block wind and rain, and secondly to prevent outsiders from observing the scene inside the carriage.
The carriage this person is riding in is different. It is made of the highest quality wood. Unlike other people's carriages, his carriage is actually wrapped in the highest quality summer embroidery.
The top-notch summer embroidery wrapping the carriage was actually embroidered with gold and silver threads. This means that at night, if it is during the day, it will definitely reflect light when exposed to the sun, causing people to squint their eyes when they see the carriage.
Xia embroidery is one of the four major embroidery products in the world. It is extremely complicated to make. It takes more than half a year to make a Xia embroidery as big as a palm.
A large carriage was wrapped in top-quality summer embroidery made of gold and silver threads. It would not have been possible without ten thousand taels of silver. A carriage is so luxurious, so one can imagine how "ordinary" the Queen's carriage is.
"The old lady loves Buddhism, but the poor monk doesn't follow it!" Under the moonlight, on the side of the carriage, the pharmacist performed a Buddhist ritual.
Although the carriage was not traveling very fast, others had to jog to catch up. But the monk could not see how he moved. His steps were light, his face was not red, he was not out of breath, and he never lagged behind the speed of the carriage.
You Niaojuan, this was originally a chess piece that Wang Yu buried under Lao San's hands. After Lao San's death, all his power was absorbed by the then crown prince, who is now the emperor. From this, You Niaojuan successfully got into the emperor's group.
The pharmacist did not lie about his identity. His identity was still a Mahayana Buddhist. It's just that he has an additional disciple like You Niaojuan.
The changes in Mahayana Buddhism in those days and its current situation are not a big secret among the seven dynasties. As a person of Mahayana Buddhism, the pharmacist wanted to seek the support of a certain dynasty. This is a reasonable thing no matter how you look at it!
As for You Niaojuan, it is even more normal that Mahayana Buddhism has always been willing to shrink into a corner of Dawu, intending to return to the prosperous land of the Central Plains and bury a secret. As for why You Niaojuan is a demonic Kung Fu, but not a Buddhist Kung Fu, there are more reasons to explain!
