The secret of heaven is vague, the mortal world is rolling, among all living beings, who is destined to have the secret of heaven? The hexagrams cannot be pointed out accurately, it depends on searching. These three people worked very hard and tried their best to discuss the solution.
This Tianji Diagram originally showed a Eight Diagrams, but since it became invalid, the Bagua has disappeared, showing a mountain, Yizhimei. If the ancestors of all generations had not sworn that this was the Tianji Diagram, the three Meishan brothers would not have paid attention to it. It is estimated that this is a Tianji Diagram. If you put the picture on the street, not many people would be interested. Since they were not afraid of losing it, the three of them failed to find a way to find the destined person, so they finally decided to carry the map down the mountain and ask people to read the map and write a poem. Maybe the destined person would reveal himself.
For the sake of caution, after receiving the poems, the three Meishan brothers began to make divinations to confirm which poems were related to the picture. The final result was "Half Immortal". Their approach naturally aroused the concern of the president of the Academy of Chinese Studies. They are dissatisfied. There is no way to predict divination in poetry selection. This also leads to the saying that poetry selection has nothing to do with literature.
The three of them don't care about so many things. They are old and can be willful. What's the big deal? Once they heard what Chen Fan said, the three of them had no doubts in their hearts. Anyway, regardless of whether others believed it or not, these three people believed it deeply and wished they could Immediately take Chen Fan back to the mountain to pass on what he has learned. As for the Tianji Diagram, it is not important to the three of them now. Faced with precious things, people will lose interest when they reach a certain age. The current Tianji Diagram, in the eyes of the three Meishan brothers, is a responsibility, and they can’t wait to immediately Just throw it out.
After hearing what Chen Fan said, Mei San was the first to lose his temper. Mei San cleared his throat and said, "Chen Fasheng, it seems that you are destined to this picture. I will invite you to come over and talk about it after the poetry meeting."
"Yes." Chen Fan immediately agreed. Although he didn't know exactly what happened, Chen Fan's left eye twitched. This left eye twitched, which seemed to be a good thing.
But he said that this last poem had already been selected by Fan Zheng, and he immediately showed it to the dean of Guozixue and the three gentlemen of Meishan. This time there was no doubt that Chen Fan's "Bamboo" was unanimously ranked first.
In order to show fairness, Xiao Tong then had the drafts of the first three poems hung up. Chen Fan's poems were naturally the focus of everyone's attention. After seeing the poems written by Chen Fan, everyone was convinced or not. Yes, either choose praise or choose silence.
Next door to the East Garden is a chrysanthemum garden, where Wu Guifei, the biological mother of King Yuzhang, is drinking tea, admiring chrysanthemums and reciting poems with ladies from the capital. When she came out of the palace today, Wu Guifei also brought Ge Xiurong's daughter, Princess Anji. This Ge Xiurong turned out to be a maid in Wu Guifei's palace. Because of her beauty, she was favored by Emperor Liang Wu during Wu Guifei's pregnancy and gave birth to Anji. Fortunately, this Ge Xiurong is still a good person and has not become arrogant because of being favored by Emperor Wu of Liang. He has always been humble in front of Wu Guifei. In addition, Wu Guifei also has a great enemy, Ding Guifei, so he gradually tolerated her. This is Ge Xiurong.
Princess Anji, Ge Xiurong's daughter, is already eighteen years old this year. Although women in the capital get married late, at this age, even if they are not married, they have already agreed on their husband's family. But for Anji, because her mother was of low background and there was no one in her natal family, she added The reason why most people would look down on her as a princess, and she hasn't found her husband's family yet, so Ge Xiurong had to ask Wu Guifei to help see if there was a suitable candidate, and that's how the chrysanthemum appreciation party came about.
Although Wu Guifei was admiring the chrysanthemums, she was always paying attention to the situation of the poetry meeting. After each poem came out, a slave would report the situation. There would be a female officer beside her to copy it, and put the name of the original author on it, and give the poem to The female family members circulated it, and Chen Fasheng's name also spread among the people.
"This Chen Fasheng is very talented, but it's a pity that he is too young." Mrs. Dong, who knew Wu Guifei's thoughts, said. This Mrs. Dong was a close friend of Wu Guifei. Her husband is currently Guanglu Qing, a third-rank official, in charge of the palace. They are the closest ministers around the emperor.
In addition to Mrs. Dong, there are also three noble ladies accompanying her. Those who are qualified to sit in the Juyuan Nuan Pavilion to accompany Wu Guifei naturally have high status. Mrs. Dong can only accompany her in the last seat. This is because she and Wu Guifei The reason for the intersection at an early age.
They discussed and discussed, but they were all children of ordinary families in their eyes, such as Fang Junxue, the fourth prince in the capital, and the children of third-rank or above high-ranking officials. They were basically ignored by them. The reasons given verbally were very clear. Simple, these noble sons are the most popular people in the capital. I think they must have discussed it before coming to Ge Xiurong. If they were suitable, they would have been decided long ago. But if they are not decided now, then they are not suitable. As for the private reasons, I am afraid only they themselves know best.
"Who is accompanying this Chen Fasheng?" Wu Guibin asked.
"It's Shen Chong and Sun Mengcheng. Both of them are classmates with the prince. Shen Chong is the second son of Shen Wen's family, the censor, and Sun Mengcheng is the eldest son of Sun Hao's family. These two have been together since Chen Fasheng came in. They must be familiar with each other. Yes." The servant who was waiting next to him replied.
"Birds of a feather flock together, and people flock together. I think these two are quite talented. I just wonder if they are engaged?" Mrs. Dong added from the side. In fact, there is another saying in my heart. The family status is not high, but it is suitable.
"I have an idea, but I don't know if it's appropriate?" said a woman sitting at the top.
"Let's talk about it." Wu Guibi said.
"Why don't you ask the prince to bring his classmates over to enjoy the chrysanthemums? It's to the south of the waterside pavilion in the chrysanthemum garden. The female family members are on the north side of the waterside pavilion. They don't affect each other and can talk to each other. Let's also see if there are really young talents who can be recruited. I wonder what your Majesty’s wishes are?” The social atmosphere in this society was extremely open, and although women’s status was not as good as in modern society, they were relatively free. Therefore, this lady’s suggestion did not violate the etiquette of the time, and no one thought it was out of the ordinary.
"That's fine, let's just follow Madam's opinion." It just so happened that Tong'er was also allowed to meet the girls. The girls coming this time are all noble girls from the capital. If there is anyone who likes her, we can discuss it. Wu Guibi thought of her son and immediately ordered someone to pass it on.
"Fasheng, you have to help me." After receiving the news, Shen Chong pulled Chen Fan aside and whispered.
"What's the matter?"
"Xiao Tong is going to take us classmates to the chrysanthemum garden later. He is expected to write a poem. Do you have any good poems about chrysanthemum appreciation? Can you write one for me? If I get a good girl from any family, I will never forget you today. Yes." Originally, Shen Chong also prepared a poem about chrysanthemum appreciation, but when he saw Chen Fan's poem today, he knew that he couldn't compare with it, so he immediately asked for help.
"Well, 'We are not afraid of the wind and frost heading towards the evening, and the flowers blooming alone are at the right time. The incense array reaching the sky penetrates Jiankang, and the city is filled with golden armor.'" Chen Fan immediately wrote about the chrysanthemums written by Gao Qi, a poet from the Ming Dynasty, and Huang Chao, a Tang Dynasty poet. The poems were combined, and the place name in the original poem was changed from Chang'an to Jiankang, and the chant was given to Shen Chong. After all, Shen Chong was a relative of his, so he still had to help with this. If it were Sun Mengcheng, there would be no way.
"Thank you." Shen Chong, who had received the poem, was filled with joy and left.
Chen Fan came to the pavilion as promised. The three deans of Guozixue had left together with Xiao Tong as he said goodbye, but Master Fan and the three gentlemen of Meishan were all there. Seeing that the four masters were there, Chen Fan straightened his clothes and entered the pavilion.
"The stars are spinning, the sun and the moon are shining, the four eras are in control, the yin and yang are changing, the wind and rain are spreading, all things are harmonious to live, each is nourished to be successful, not to see its actions but to see its achievements, this is what I mean. God; everyone knows why it is made, but no one knows it is invisible. This is called heaven." Fan Zheng thought quickly and quickly, and at the same time he used the law of cause and effect. The sound roared in the pavilion, but it did not spill outside the pavilion at all. .
"How brave!" Mei San opened his eyes angrily.
"Damn it!" Mei Er was furious.
"Three talents!" Mei Da concentrated his energy.
As the voice enters his body, Chen Fan feels like a man who has experienced nectar after a long drought, but also like an enlightenment. His mind suddenly becomes bright and bright, and the pages of the heavenly book flash past. A person sits in his mind. He looks like a child of only five or six years old, but his facial features, The body and limbs were sound, and the whole body was glowing with white light. Chen Fan was about to take a closer look, when he felt a sudden vibration around him. The child disappeared, and Chen Fan's consciousness returned to the pavilion.
I saw the three gentlemen of Meishan blushing slightly, and Master Fan, although smiling, was sweating on his forehead. What Chen Fan didn't know was that these four people didn't seem to be moving, but just a moment ago, they had already carried out a thrilling battle. The battle of spiritual consciousness can be said to be a lose-lose situation.
"Why are you doing this?" Mei Da asked.
"You three still have time, but I am already old. Heaven's secret shows that my Confucianism is on the rise. However, there are many crises and life and death are on the line. I will sacrifice myself, so what's the problem?"
"What Brother Fan said is absolutely true. How can we retreat from the struggle between the great ways? Even if we sacrifice ourselves, what's the harm? I think your Confucian Xun sect is full of talents, but under my sect, the talents are withering. How can the inheritance of the sect continue? Is my hand cut off? Moreover, the destiny shows that I have to come and I have to come. I hope Brother Fan will forgive me." I act according to the destiny, how can I retreat? What's the problem if everyone is caused by the incarnation of cause and effect? Fan Zheng can sacrifice himself, so why can't I? In an instant, Mei Da made up his mind. The three brothers were in the same mind. Mei Er and Mei San knew that they could not give advice, and the hatred in their hearts rose sharply.
What Fan Zheng was reading just now was not an ordinary scripture. It was the Supreme Doctrine of Heaven by the Xunmen of Confucianism and Taoism. Confucianism and Taoism are mainly divided into Confucianism, Mencius and Xunmen. This "Tianlun" was passed down by the sage Xunzi and dealt with cause and effect. , Tongtian Dao, practice to the extreme, can make a prophecy in one word, and follow the law after speaking. What Fan Zheng was reading was the general outline of the Theory of Heaven. Although it was only one paragraph, it was broad and profound and pointed directly to the great road of heaven and earth.
Fan Zheng is not an ordinary reciter, but he has performed the law of cause and effect. Once it reaches his ears, he will form a cause and effect with him. If he practices according to this method, while increasing his cultivation, the cause and effect he owes him will become deeper. Originally, as long as the three gentlemen of Meishan left the pavilion now, the cause and effect would disappear. However, the three gentlemen of Meishan secretly sensed that if they retreated like this, their attempts to let Chen Fan inherit his inheritance would be aborted, so they decided to fight to the death. retreat.
Fan Zheng did not respond to Mei Da, but said to Chen Fan: "Chen Fasheng, what I just read was the Confucian and Taoist scripture "Tian Lun". This scripture can be cultivated to become a saint. The soul is placed in the void and is immortal. You can Interested in practicing?"
"It's a pity that my body is as gray as ashes. How can I live as long as heaven and earth and be free and easy?" Before Chen Fan could say anything, Mei San said from the side.
