Above the sky, the glow blooms.
As the heavenly sound of bells and tripods sounded, countless cranes appeared in the sky, spreading their wings and flying, their bodies shining with colorful lights.
The cranes shuttle between the auspicious clouds, carrying fairy spirit, the colorful clouds are filled, the spiritual soil is steaming, and the scenery is like poetry and painting.
The colorful bridge is condensing little by little, surrounded by auspicious clouds, overlapping and criss-crossing. It is obviously daytime, and even the bright stars are revealed further away.
Various strange scenes are intertwined to form an incredible picture.
The rays of light filter through the auspicious clouds and fall on the earth, making them colorful and colorful like glass.
Looking up at the sky, countless people present were stunned by this strange sight.
Especially those Confucian scholars, they had a vague idea of what this was.
"The vision of heaven and earth is a vision of heaven and earth!"
The Confucian scholars shouted in disbelief: "Is this world about to produce another saint?"
No matter which generation of saints they were, the moment they were born or became saints was recorded as being accompanied by strange visions, which were justified by heaven and earth!
The legendary Taoist sage Laozi rode a green bull backwards out of Hangu Pass to the west, and auspicious clouds rose out of thin air, symbolizing the birth of the saint.
On the day when the Confucian saint Confucius became a saint, a unicorn auspicious beast appeared in the sky, came on auspicious clouds, and spat out a jade ruler to Confucius, which was the legendary cultural instrument. Only with this cultural instrument could he teach three thousand disciples. Cultivate seventy-two saints!
Li Bai, the poet saint, is known as the Taibai Golden Star. His mother dreamed of the Chang Geng Star before giving birth to Li Bai. Thousands of stars fall like raindrops day and night
The birth of a sage is bound to bring visions, and not only saints, but also talented emperors are born with visions. Liu Bang was born with lightning and thunder, and his father only saw a dragon lying next to his mother.
When Yang Jian was born, there was a dragon crouching on the roof, and purple energy traveling three thousand miles from the east.
When Zhu Yuanzhang was born, the house was filled with red light.
When Liu Che was born, his mother dreamed that the sun was falling into her belly.
These are all recorded in the book, which the ancients believed deeply!
But they used to be seen only in books. But now.
Reality is happening before our eyes, and such a vision appears in the sky! ! !
"Oh my God, why is there such a strange scene in the sky!"
"It's so beautiful. How can there be such a long rainbow?"
"What's going on??"
The people and officials present looked up at this scene and exclaimed.
"Honored Master, you are well-informed. What is going on?"
A Confucian scholar walked towards Kong Maoxue.
"Quiet."
Kong Maoxue looked shocked, his eyes were fixed on Li Xiao without moving away, and he said softly: "The vision has come out, the saint has appeared. Please listen to the holy words!"
At this time, he was listening to Li Xiao's Confucianism with all his concentration, and could not care about anything else, because he seemed to be witnessing the birth of the fourth Confucian in the world!
hiss.
The Confucian scholars all took a deep breath.
They all looked at Li Xiao. At this time, Li Xiao seemed to be surrounded by Tao and rhythm, and he was shining like a saint. He was still reading the article:
"There is no good or disgusting body, there are good and evil actions, knowing good and evil is conscience, and doing good and eliminating evil is observing things."
The truth comes out, shocking people, touching the soul!
"This is impossible."
A Confucian scholar said in disbelief: "We are still opposing him. How can he say such a truth in the blink of an eye? Become a saint?"
Becoming a saint is a mountain that Confucian scholars can only look up to in their lifetime. Unexpectedly, they were suddenly reached by the great master of the Ming Dynasty in front of them. How could they accept it?
"Amitabha."
A voice came.
All the Confucian scholars looked over and found a monk.
A monk dressed in black stared at the Ming Dynasty Master in front of him with stern eyes and said: "Buddha said that you should put down your butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately. Why not become a saint immediately once you become enlightened?"
This person is not Yao Guangxiao, who is he?
Yao Guangxiao was also shocked at this time. He never expected that the person he touched his bones in the past turned out to be such a person and had become a Confucian sage!
"Are you saying that the Imperial Master has become a Confucian sage?"
The Confucian scholars asked in disbelief.
"No need to ask more, you already understand it when you see your respected master, Amitabha."
With that said, Yao Guangxiao ignored these people and sat cross-legged on the ground, with his hands clasped together, Buddha beads in front of his fingers, sitting still in meditation, listening to the holy words.
After the words fell, the Confucian scholars all looked at their respected teacher Kong Maoxue. He was already looking crazy, kneeling on the ground, listening quietly.
"Hear the Word!"
The Confucian scholars no longer dared to think too much and knelt down to listen.
After all, at this moment of becoming a saint, listening to the words of sainthood was of great help to their Confucianism. They put aside their hostility towards Li Xiao and had no other thoughts!
And the strange phenomena in the world are still spreading.
From this moment on, the sky seems to be shrouded in a fairy world, with spiritual energy crawling!
The colorful bridge in the sky is getting bigger and bigger, spreading continuously, the stars are shining brightly, the rainbow bridge is erected, auspicious clouds are floating, there is faint fairy music, and cranes are flying.
No matter where you are in Beiping City.
Just look up and see the strange sight in the sky.
"Look, what is that in the sky???"
"Oh my God, this is so beautiful."
"What a big rainbow, is something good happening?"
"Mom, the rainbow in the sky is so beautiful!"
"Why does this happen?"
"A miracle, a miracle! These are auspicious clouds and Hongqiao. This is a good sign. The weather will be smooth in the coming year!"
The people on the street stopped in unison at the same time. The shop assistants and shopkeepers walked out of the shop, and the people at home also walked out of their homes and looked up at the sky.
"Could it be that something big is going to happen in the world again?"
"It seems like a good thing. With this scene, something good will definitely happen!"
"Or is it that a big shot was born in Beiping City today?"
The appearance of strange scenes in the sky in ancient times was a mysterious and unpredictable phenomenon for people. They would interpret and understand these wonders in their own way, so as to feel the mystery and infinite divine power between heaven and earth.
In a pub, many students were drinking to relieve their worries.
These days, the students who have traveled thousands of miles to come to Peiping to discuss Falun Gong have become autistic after watching Fan Jin pass the exam. They do not know their future and spend their days drinking.
Suddenly, a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky, and they all walked out one after another, and then were shocked.
"This is a saint!!"
A foreign student said in surprise that he had read a lot and naturally knew more than ordinary people. He had read books about astrology.
It is recorded in the book that the glow was brilliant and auspicious clouds were everywhere.
This is clearly a vision from Tianyan Taoism, and it also means the birth of a saint! !
"Brother Zhang, what do you mean? What kind of saint comes out?"
Another foreign student asked anxiously.
The student named Zhang Zhan said: "I have read in ancient books that visions like this must be born when someone becomes a saint!"
"What?"
Hearing such news, all the students took a deep breath, and students nearby heard it and gathered around.
"A saint is going to be born? What kind of saint is going to be born?"
One student asked in shock.
There are many types of saints, including poetry saints, CI saints, painting saints, literary saints, and Confucian saints.
Everyone thought in their minds that the Saint of Poetry, the Saint of Ci, and the Saint of Painting must be directly excluded.
These have now declined in the Ming Dynasty
“Could it be that a Confucian sage emerged???”
The students thought about the current situation in Beiping. Countless Confucian scholars gathered here. Why? The purpose is to prevent the decline of Confucianism and Taoism!
Thinking about it this way, early this morning, the contemporary great Confucian Yan Shenggong Kong Maoxue took more than a hundred Confucian sages to Beiqing University to reason with the Ming Dynasty Imperial Master.
They wore sackcloth and mourning, and seemed to go there with determination.
"Could it be that the great Confucian Kong Maoxue suddenly became enlightened and became the fourth Confucian sage when he was arguing with the Ming Dynasty's imperial master???"
Everyone thought for a long time, and one student said what everyone was thinking.
Hearing this, everyone felt a little guilty.
Because early this morning, Kong Maoxue took people to Beiqing University to reason.
Many students also saw that they were supposed to be in the same camp, but they didn't get over it.
"Other than Kong Daru, who else can become a Confucian sage?"
One student said with shame: "What a shame! Confucius went to die for Confucianism, but we turned a blind eye and listened but didn't hear."
"Now what are you talking about? When a saint is born, he must speak the holy words and move the heaven and earth. Only then can visions be born. Let's go quickly and listen to the holy words."
One student said this.
The most important part of the eight-part essay is to speak on behalf of the sage, which means that you should not have your own thoughts and learn the tone of the sage to speak.
Therefore, these students attach great importance to the Holy Word, more important than Mount Tai.
"Go quickly, Kong Daru has become a saint. He is now in opposition to the national master. We can no longer stand by and watch."
A student lowered his head, stopped looking at the vision, and ran towards Beiqing University.
"Yes! I think now that the Ming Dynasty has a Confucian sage, how can we let the Confucian sage be humiliated?"
"Go quickly, go quickly, I will go with Brother Zhang."
"We were hesitant before, but if Kong Daru really becomes a saint, we will stand on the side of the saint no matter what!"
Countless students suddenly woke up and ran towards Beiqing University.
On the way, the students saw each other asking and understanding each other, and when they learned that a saint was born, they were surprised and dared not neglect, so they joined the team one after another.
There is an old saying in China: A layman sees the excitement, but an expert sees the door.
Although countless people did not understand why these students were so excited, they joined the team one after another with the idea of watching the fun.
Just like that, the team grew bigger and bigger, and soon it became a long queue. There were all men, women, old and young, and there seemed to be tens of thousands of them, heading towards Beiqing University.
There are many eyes and ears in the Duke's Mansion, and there are spies everywhere.
When something like this happened, naturally the news was received immediately.
"Princess, Princess"
Zhang Cuicui, who had just learned the news from the spies, rushed over.
Zhu Ningyun was currently on the highest floor of Yong'an Pavilion, the tallest building renovated by the Duke's Mansion, watching the strange scene in the sky.
The sight was too shocking. The width of the rainbow bridge in the sky was hundreds of feet wide, and it was still spreading to both sides, as if it was going to cover the entire city of Beiping.
It's clearly daytime, and there are countless stars twinkling in the sky above the Hongqiao. It's really like being drunk and not knowing that the sky is on the water, and the boat is full of clear dreams overwhelming the stars.
Among them, there is a majestic and righteous energy rolling, immortal music singing, white clouds blooming, and cranes flying, which is simply rare to see in a thousand years.
"Princess, Princess"
Zhang Cuicui ran over, already out of breath.
She found that Princess Yongan was quietly watching the vision in the sky, drawing with paper and pen in her hand, trying to capture this scene.
At this time, the painting has been less than half completed.
Looking at it, it turned out to be gorgeous, colorful and lifelike.
Over the years, Zhu Ningyun's painting skills have improved significantly, not to mention that now there are colorful dyes in Peiping, which can make colorful paintings more realistic.
"Cui Cui, keep your voice down, don't spoil the mood by being startled."
Zhu Ningyun's mind was entirely on the painting, sometimes looking up and sometimes looking down.
"Princess, the news is so shocking, Cuicui can't calm down!!!"
Zhang Cuicui looked anxious and was almost speechless with excitement.
Seeing this, Zhu Ningyun's eyes sharpened and he asked hurriedly: "What's the matter? Tell me quickly."
Zhang Cuicui has been a female official in the Duke's mansion for many years. She manages all the maids and is very steady in dealing with things. She is no longer the little girl she used to be.
It must be no small matter to make her lose her composure like this.
Zhang Cuicui said excitedly: "A saint has emerged! A Confucian saint has emerged!"
"What?" Zhu Ningyun was surprised, and then looked at the vision in the sky, and suddenly understood something. This was actually the vision of heaven and earth when the saint was born.
"not good!"
Zhu Ningyun clapped her hands and said anxiously: "Today the great scholar Kong Maoxue went to Beiqing University to stop them. My husband said he had a way to deal with them. Now that Kong Maoxue has become a Confucian sage, he is a contemporary saint. The literati in the world will definitely follow him to the death. This abolishment of the imperial examination I’m afraid we won’t be able to build a university.”
Zhu Ningyun is so smart, he can understand the reason after just a little thought.
In recent days, countless Confucian scholars have gathered in the capital, including the contemporary Yanshenggong Confucian Kong Maoxue.
Who else can be sanctified?
But she only thinks about Li Xiao. Even if she becomes a saint, the first thing she thinks of is her husband's affairs.
Hearing this, Zhang Cuicui nodded, was stunned, and then shook her head.
The princess obviously misunderstood, and she hurriedly said: "Princess, it is not the person named Kong who became a saint by mistake."
"ah?"
Zhu Ningyun was slightly startled and said: "Who can become a saint if it is not the great Confucian Kong Maoxue? Could it be his students? It is also possible for people of all ages to realize Taoism. I did not expect that Kong Maoxue actually taught a Confucian sage. This is still not good for my husband." "
"Those who become saints are not students of Kong Mao's studies." Zhang Cuicui said.
"Who is that?" Zhu Ningyun said, "You should tell me quickly, I'm so anxious."
Zhang Cuicui said: "The man who became a Confucian saint was none other than the Duke who taught New Confucianism at the gate of Beiqing University. We, the head of the Yongle Palace, are your husband!"
"Husband."
Zhu Ningyun was slightly dazed, and then said in great surprise: "Husband??? Husband has become a Confucian saint? Cuicui, aren't you making fun of me?"
She never expected that this was the answer she heard!
Zhang Cuicui said: "It's absolutely true!"
Zhu Ningyun seemed to have heard some incredible news, and her mood was as calm as the waves of the sea. She slowly calmed down, and with countless joy, she murmured to herself: "My husband has become a Confucian saint and a saint??? ?”
I became the wife of a saint.
Husband, you are too outrageous! ! !
The Palace of the Prince of Han was also the former Palace of the Prince of Yan.
The news was quickly received at this moment.
in the hall.
King Zhu Gaoxu of Han was dining with Princess Wei Jiangxue and Crown Prince Zhu Zhanhe.
The servant came and said: "Your Majesty, King Han, I have just received news that this vision in the sky is caused by the birth of a saint. The fourth generation of Confucian saints has appeared in our Ming Dynasty."
Upon hearing such news, Princess Wei Jiangxue was so shocked that she stood stunned on the spot.
As for Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Zhanhe, they didn't feel anything at all.
"Oh, it turns out that there is a Confucian sage. I thought it was a good thing. It's really bad luck." Zhu Gaoxu took a bite of the chicken leg and chirped.
Zhu Zhanhe, the crown prince of the Han Dynasty, said blankly: "Dad, what is a saint?"
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, then thought for a while and said: "A saint writes a lot of great principles in books that you can't even understand, and asks you to memorize them, and instills his thoughts in you."
Thinking of those headache-inducing Confucian books, Zhu Zhanhe stroked his little head and said: "Hey, it's better not to be a saint. There will be more books to memorize in the future."
"????"
Princess Wei Jiangxue was confused and said in surprise: "A contemporary Confucian sage appeared in the Ming Dynasty. Aren't you shocked at all??"
"No."
Zhu Gaoxu shook his head, completely uninterested.
Fortunately, I have become a prince now, and no one is forcing me to learn such trivial things. If a saint cannot be born, I will have nothing to gain.
Wei Jiangxue looked at the two people helplessly, held her forehead and sighed, and said: "I'm afraid your brother-in-law's reform will fail this time. The person who became a Confucian saint must be the great Confucian Kong Maoxue who was against my brother-in-law."
When the servant heard this, he hurriedly wanted to explain.
But he heard a bang and the table was slapped. Zhu Gaoxu said angrily: "It turns out to be the old immortal. If I had known, I would have chopped him with a knife!"
"You are crazy. You are so rebellious. You are not afraid of being punished by God!"
Wei Jiangxue stood up in a hurry, covered Zhu Gaoxu's mouth, then said "bah bah bah" three times, grabbed Zhu Gaoxu's hand, knocked on the wooden table, and said: "Don't blame those who don't know, don't blame those who don't know."
"There's something wrong."
Zhu Gaoxu pushed away his hand and said: "The world is big, and my brother-in-law is the biggest. The saint must also make concessions to my brother-in-law. If you dare to go against my brother-in-law, I will kill him now."
With that said, he was about to set off.
"My lord, you are not allowed to go, Zhan He, stop your father quickly!"
Wei Jiangxue greeted.
He was hugging Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhu Zhanhe also stood up and hugged Zhu Gaoxu's thigh.
Wei Jiangxue dared not even think about killing the saint.
The prince must not be allowed to do this.
Zhu Gaoxu shouted: "Why don't I dare? When the emperor's grandfather directly moved Mencius out of the Confucius Temple, the emperor's grandfather was not afraid. Is it possible that I am still afraid?"
Seeing that the situation was getting worse, the servant hurriedly intervened and shouted: "Your Majesty, King of Han, it is not Kong Maoxue who became a Confucian sage, but Lord Yongle Li Xiao."
Suddenly, quiet.
Several people's mouths were slightly open, and one of them couldn't believe it.
Zhu Gaoxu was astonished as if he had been struck by lightning, "What, my brother-in-law has become a saint?"
Zhu Zhanhe looked confused: "What? My father-in-law has become a saint?"
Princess Wei Jiangxue also let go of her hand: "My lord, aren't you going to kill the saint? Just go ahead."
Zhu Gaoxu chuckled: "You are a woman with long hair and short knowledge. Can a saint cut it off? I am afraid of being punished by God!"
Wei Jiangxue: "."
Suddenly, the two of them seemed to have thought of something and looked at Zhu Zhanhe in unison.
The two said in unison: "Zhu Zhanhe, what did you call your uncle just now?"
Zhu Zhanhe rubbed the snot from his nose and said naively: "My father-in-law."
Wei Jiangxue: "."
Zhu Gaoxu: "Children can be taught!"
Wei Jiangxue: "."
Imperial Palace, Fengtian Hall.
Zhu Di was sitting on the dragon throne. He was still having an early morning court meeting and discussing the dispatch of troops.
But suddenly, the sky was full of rays of light, and an incredible phenomenon appeared.
Naturally, we can't go on this morning.
Zhu Di rushed out first and stood at the door of Fengtian Hall to watch the vision of heaven and earth.
All the civil and military officials also came out one after another, looking at the strange phenomenon in the sky, dumbfounded!
"My God, this is a strange phenomenon from heaven and earth. The rays of light are endless, the rainbow bridge is thousands of miles away, cranes are flying together, and fairy music is singing together, mixed with the sound of heavenly bells. This is the first time I have seen such a scene in my life!"
"This vision is so wonderful, like a miracle, it was given by the gods. This is God's blessing to me, the Ming Dynasty!"
"God bless the Ming Dynasty, God bless the Holy One!! Our Ming Dynasty has such a vision shining on the capital. This is a great sign of good fortune!"
When all the civil and military officials saw the vision in the sky, they spoke one after another. Obviously, this vision in the sky was so peaceful and must be a sign of good fortune.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, May the Ming Dynasty live forever!"
All the civil and military officials knelt down and said in unison.
"Good! What a good sign!!!"
Zhu Di was naturally overjoyed. He had just proposed sending troops to conquer, and then a vision came from the sky. How could Zhu Di not be happy? ? ?
Of course, Zhu Di couldn't confirm the specific meaning of this vision.
Instead, he ordered: "Where is the supervisor of the Qintian Prison? Let him come over quickly and explain this vision to me."
There was a yamen in the imperial court called Qin Tianjian, and among the yamen there was the tallest building in the capital called the Star Observation Tower.
The main functions of the Qin Tianjian include predicting celestial phenomena, compiling calendars, telling time, choosing days and auspicious dates, etc., covering many aspects of national life.
The supervisory official, from the fifth rank, is responsible for observing the celestial phenomena, formulating calendars, observing celestial phenomena, calculating calendars, determining the four seasons, and measuring good and bad luck.
However, the official position of Si Tianjian is too small and he cannot go to court.
Jian Zheng was coming here at this time and arrived at Fengtian Hall half a quarter of an hour later.
"See Your Majesty," Jian Zheng said in greeting.
Zhu Di nodded slightly, and then asked: "What does this vision in the sky mean?"
This phenomenon is so huge that there is no need for an observatory. It can be seen everywhere.
Even Jian Zheng himself saw this strange phenomenon for the first time.
Fortunately, such visions have been recorded in books. Saints often have such visions when they are born, and the current vision of heaven and earth seems to be the most terrifying one in thousands of years.
He hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Back to the Holy Spirit, according to my observation and some clues in ancient books, this vision is most likely to be a vision from Tianyan Taoism. I don't dare to be too sure about the specifics. The elephant is so unbelievable that it has not been recorded for thousands of years."
This group of people from Qintian Prison all speak like fortune tellers, with ambiguity to avoid losing their heads if they say something wrong.
Zhu Di said: "I'm not asking you what this is, but what does it mean?"
Seeing that he couldn't get through, Jian Zheng felt his sweat and had to reply according to the ancient book: "Back to the saint, Tianyan Taoist legend is a sign of the birth of a saint. It is very likely that a saint has been born."
He was extremely nervous, thinking that if the ancient book was not accurate, his head might be divided, but he did not dare to make up nonsense about such a terrifying vision.
After the words fell, there were constant exclamations from the field.
"What. My Ming Dynasty actually gave birth to a saint?"
"Come to think of it, countless Confucian scholars have come to Beijing recently, including the great Confucian Kong Maoxue."
"Could it be that Kong Mao became a Confucian sage and caused strange phenomena in heaven and earth?"
Everyone was talking quietly.
I also thought about some of the recent entanglements between the Ming Dynasty's imperial masters and Confucian scholars, but I didn't dare to say it openly.
These words fell into Zhu Di's ears, which was very unpleasant.
Zhu Di stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the vision in the sky with doubts in his eyes.
I thought to myself, could it be that I had allowed Li Xiao to reform the imperial examinations and Confucianism, which caused God to send a vision and give birth to a saint to stop it?
If this is really the case, then did you do something wrong?
Zhu Gaochi on the side also frowned. Standing next to Zhu Di, he didn't know what he was thinking. Judging from his expression, he must be very confused.
At this time, Ji Gang, the commander of the Jin Yiwei, came over. Zhu Di saw it, nodded slightly, and signaled to speak privately. Ji Gang came closer and said softly:
"Your Majesty, a vision from heaven gave birth to a Confucian saint, but the Confucian saint is not Kong Maoxue. Kong Maoxue is listening to the holy words at the gate of Beiqing University at this time. The Confucian saint born is Li Xiao!"
This word,
Like a thunderous explosion!
Zhu Gaochi, who overheard this from the side, took a breath of cold air and was dumbfounded.
Zhu Di could not suppress the shock and sudden joy in his heart, and was shocked: "What! The Confucian sage is Li Xiao????"
As soon as this statement came out.
All officials were shocked!
