Yuan Chun was awarded the official position of Lingtai Lang, and he counted about six or seven springs and autumns before his eyes. It was different from what the old Lingtai Lang said in the past when he retired from office and returned home. He just counted two hexagrams all day long, and then watched the sky day and night. , a total of three or four hours were busy, and the rest of the time was just chatting with the other three Lingtai Lang, and taking fruits, tea and soup as needed. It was the most comfortable official position in the imperial city.
Although the number of interviews with the Holy Spirit is very few in a year, and the official position is only the seventh or eighth grade, the salary can be considered generous, which is better than a brisk leisure time.
He entered Taoism at the age of three, could read a thousand words at the age of five, and could observe celestial phenomena at the age of twelve. He immediately became famous in the Taoist temple not far outside the imperial city. When the eunuch eunuch heard about this, he hurried there without caring about the complicated documents. I visited the Taoist temple and talked a lot, and I was able to persuade the old Taoist. When Yuan Chun was old enough, he took him back to the eunuch prison. No matter what, he had to get a gift for this extremely talented Yuan Chun. Guan Zheng is only under Jian Zheng.
There is a fly in the ointment. Although Yuan Chun is young, smart, knowledgeable and memorized, he is especially good at stargazing. He even learned the method of predicting good and bad luck from the old Taoist who is not well-known outside the imperial city. In Jian Zheng's opinion, the future will be good. If Yuan Chun could still focus on stargazing and knowledge, he would be able to successfully take over the position of Prime Minister. However, Yuan Chun's temperament is really disappointing.
Perhaps it was because he was boring in the Taoist temple and had never seen much of the world. After he entered the imperial city, he became very fond of playing with birds and preferred to wander the streets and alleys. He lost most of his salary and spent the rest on raising birds. He always borrowed money from his colleagues to survive.
In addition, because he is young and talented, he knows good and bad fortunes and observes people's fortunes, which makes everyone in the eunuch's prison admire him, but they don't know how to be humble. This is not arrogant or arrogant, but he has always been very soft-spoken. , did not know how to get along with others, so he was often plotted by others, resulting in frustration everywhere. Even though the supervisor recommended him, he still stayed in the post of Lingtai Lang for six or seven years. Even though everyone knew that, this However, Yuan Chun could not be disciplined or dissuaded at all, so he had to let his temper go.
However, in Yuan Chun's view, these leisurely years may not be boring even if they last for several decades. There is no need to compete with others for official position, and there is no need to walk around the palace all day long. The eunuchs are clean, holding cages and playing with birds. Take a leisurely stroll to view the flowers, and often take a few laps around the imperial city. It's peaceful and quiet, with carriages and horses flowing around. There's nothing so comfortable in the world.
Recently, the scene of Beiluo Shimen's big star has changed, and the stars are faint, which makes Yuan Chun quite worried. Therefore, he woke up at three o'clock in the morning without teasing the birds. The remaining three Lingtai Lang who had come to the top of Sitiantai early informed the situation, and immediately picked up futons and sat down peacefully, planning to make a hexagram.
To put it nicely, it’s just deducing heaven’s secrets, but to put it badly, it’s just a matter of muddling through. In ancient times, there have been endless efforts to gain popularity, but nowadays, there may not be any efficacious results. Xiang Tongkanyu's assertion about the rise and fall of the future is even more nonsense. Only by fixing the four seasons, with winds coming from all directions, rain, frost and snow, Yuan Chun felt that it could be of some use.
However, the old Taoist's chatter is really unfathomable. Yuan Chun's ability to read aura and fortune-telling is really good, but he doesn't like to make divinations, so he has been unable to verify whether the ability taught by the old Taoist can be used.
"Brother Yuan has never used his ability to deduce hexagrams several times in the past six or seven years. We are indeed lucky to be able to see such a scene today. You should watch carefully. If you miss this grand scene, I'm afraid I have to wait another three to five years." Even among the four Lingtai Lang, Yuan Chun's reputation is not necessarily good, because he is too lazy, and he often has to find the other three Lingtai Lang to take over his duty. , within two days he had completely forgotten about it, let alone teasing birds for fun. He was quite separated from the other three people, and because he was too jealous at first, he looked at him differently, but due to his temperament, he seemed to be quite arrogant. , after joining the eunuch, of course he couldn't get any favors. Instead, he was often run against by three people.
If it weren't for the change in Fomalhau's star today, and there were often rumors circulating in the imperial city, Yuan Chun could still feel the anxiety in his chest, even though his ears were ringing, so he got up half an hour earlier than usual. When he came to Sitiantai to perform hexagrams, the joking remarks made by the three Lingtai Lang were not offensive to Yuan Chun, who already knew the truth behind them.
But with just one hexagram, Yuan Chun sat in Sitiantai for three whole days. When the other three Lingtai Lang realized that this was unusual, they wanted to wake up Yuan Chun who was sitting motionless on the futon, but they were afraid of ruining his conduct, so they hurriedly went to the eunuch's prison to ask the old eunuch to come on stage.
If divination is about mysticism, it is a bit nonsense. After all, there are only a few words in the ancient books. The person who made the divination would only have to sit upright for a whole day at most. This is already unprecedented, but Yuan Chun has always acted wildly and unrestrainedly. He sat firmly at the Si Tiantai for three whole days, but there was no movement. On the contrary, his face became more and more rosy. This was a strange thing that had never happened before. On the third day, the prisoner was out of breath and walked across the thousand steps of the Si Tiantai and stood beside Yuan Chun. Only the old prisoner was left standing in front of Yuan Chun. His expression was sometimes dark and clear. In the end, he walked around behind Yuan Chun and slapped him on the back. , which made Yuan Chun spit out turbid breath for a long time, and then he coughed up blood repeatedly.
The palace has been peaceful and quiet recently, which rarely makes the ministers and the central officials feel relaxed. Emperor Quan, who had always suffered from minor ailments in the past, got better with the arrival of spring. Seeing that summer was approaching, the palace doctors and maids who used to prepare soups and medicines were all free, and several famous sages from Yizhang visited the emperor one after another. The city's pulse diagnosis and examination did not find out that Emperor Quan had any serious illness, which made Emperor Quan very happy. Ten days ago, he held a banquet in the palace and sent troops, military attachés and officials to come.
Literary ministers wrote poems, and military ministers competed with each other, especially the riding, shooting, boxing and sword skills that caught the eye. Even Chao Rong'an, who often followed Emperor Quan, also entered the battle and won the fist and kick leader. Emperor Quan ignored the surrounding officials. He blocked him, pulled his bow and set an arrow, and hit three arrows fifty steps apart. There was no sign of recovery from a long illness.
The second prince in the Dongzheng Palace went on a tour in the North and never returned, which made the banquet eclipse a lot. Everyone who came and went knew that the eldest son who was supposed to be Saint Yizhang had died several years ago. Now that the second prince is out on a tour again, the thoughts of the current sage Emperor Human Rights can be seen at a glance. Since the eldest son has disappeared, this kind and tolerant second son must be the successor. Even if no one knows it, he will still be from the throne. Scattered clues were found in the clues, but no one dared to have too much involvement with the second prince.
After all, when the ferocious robes swept across the entire imperial city like flowing fire, the ministers and young sons did not dare to cry at night. Regardless of their official rank, or whether they had trouble sleeping or eating, no one dared to do so in the years when Emperor Quan's health was getting worse. , and touch the old dragon’s beard again.
The killing spree has ended, the blood on the street has gone with the rain, and the flowers in the countryside have become more abundant, but everyone needs a shiver in their hearts.
Perhaps many people have guessed the purpose of Emperor Quan's actions back then. The eldest son was so ambitious that he died, while the second son was too generous and benevolent. He needed to beware of the increasingly daring ministers at the center of the court, so he did not hesitate to rely on his With both hands, he wiped away the sharp barbs on the thorn tree, leaving the second son with an extremely stable throne. He could sit there with peace of mind, and when the barb regenerated from the thorn tree, he would be able to securely control the country and become more experienced. Son, I can naturally restrain this wattle stick.
Today, I went to Rong'an with Emperor Quan. It was just after noon, and it was best to walk a hundred steps. Emperor Quan, who should have been very old, became more and more healthy and looked very good. When he walked leisurely in the imperial city, he walked faster than before. many.
After all, he was a man who once wore armor and carried a gun. When he was young, his skills were not inferior to those of ordinary military officers. Although he was old and weak, and often fell ill, most of his old illnesses had gone away. At this time, his energy and spirit were very good. Few emperors in the past could survive the eldest son. It is really rare for a person who is not confused by his age, not to mention that Emperor Quan got married very late, and his body is still strong now.
"In the past few years, Rong'an has traveled around Yizhang for a long time, and finally learned a little bit about flattery. Unfortunately, nature is easy to change, even if it is flattery, it would be too outspoken. Fortunately, few people are easy to listen, and it can be replaced by that kind of flattery. Only those who like to use roundabout ways to praise may not necessarily be of any use, and may be counterproductive."
"The saint's cheerful temperament is really a blessing to his ministers. It would be unsightly to spend his energy on the smallest details." The old man turned around with interest, raised his eyebrows and smiled at Chao Rong'an,
"Look, it's not in vain after all. The more knowledge you have, the sweeter you will be. If you are really a young boy like that, I'm afraid he will really believe it and benefit from it." The two of them were walking along the palace road, talking freely, but most of the other people were in the same area. However, when he mentioned Wang Lejing, who was very famous in the whole Yizhang world recently, Emperor Quan rarely expanded on this topic and praised that although this Wang Lejing was very different from his father's method of doing things, the general idea was not lost, but he introduced Tiankuizong into Whether Yizhang Tianxia is a very good business or a loss-making business still needs time to consider. However, regardless of these relatively trivial things, it is just that Wang Lejing traveled to almost the entire Yizhang Tianxia and used her family wealth to help people everywhere. Building bridges and opening mountains is already beyond the reach of ordinary court officials.
Although he may not have done more than the court officials, it is not easy to have such thoughts when traveling to various places in person. If it were his father when he was young, he might not be able to catch up with this young master.
When the conversation was in full swing, a middle official came to the two of them and bowed his head and whispered: The eunuch was entering the palace to meet the emperor. He was walking in a hurry and almost fell off his horse. It was only with the support of several soldiers on duty at the palace gate that he was safe and sound. .
The eunuch, the eunuch, has always been upright, calm and unhurried. He has never been so out of character in his entire life as an eunuch.
