Xu Youzhen looked very relaxed as she came down the mountain.
From then on, he would no longer mention the art of celestial phenomena, nor would he express his own opinions on the classics of Buddhism and Taoism.
When responsibilities change, changes need to be made. M.biQuge.biZ
Xu Youzhen clearly felt that she was getting closer to Li Xian's position in the emperor's handling of Yan Shenggong's mansion.
Even if he cannot be replaced in a short period of time, he can still take away most of his power and become a secondary assistant who holds many positions and can rival him in power.
The key to choosing is self-knowledge.
Whatever you want to get, for this purpose, you have to give up what you need to give up.
Constant hesitation and wandering can only disturb your own mind and add burden to yourself.
Zhao Cong, who went up the mountain with Xu Youzhen, was following behind him, carrying a boss's bag.
Contained inside is the ill-gotten wealth of Taoist Master Qingxu.
There are more than ninety taels.
This is also the huge wealth accumulated by Taoist Master Qingxu after decades of deception.
Of course, the current Taoist Master Qingxu is still shivering under the covers, as if he is in the wind and snow. He was deceived when he debuted, and immediately stopped, and was shot again. This world is too It's cruel and unfair to him.
"Sir, this Taoist master doesn't know how to report to the official." Zhao Cong said with the money on his back, feeling a little uneasy.
Qingxu knows a lot of people.
If he finds someone who is easy to use and dares to attack Xu Youzhen, even though he is an accomplice, he cannot escape the involvement.
I am a member of a thousand households in Jinyiwei, and I go to a Taoist temple to steal other people's money. If I don't do it, I will not be able to keep my clothes, and it will also add a lot of laughter to the world.
Xu Youzhen smiled when she heard this, then turned her head to look at Zhao Cong.
"Why, aren't you an official? Or am I not an official? He is a liar. The money you cheated has been stolen. Will you report it to the official?"
"Don't even think about it. His banner is a miraculous calculation. Why didn't he calculate his own disaster? Reporting to the official and letting others know is not just using his own name..."
When Zhao Cong heard this, his face was dumbfounded, and it seemed that it really made sense.
He could only eat Coptis chinensis while being mute, and could not express his pain.
"Sir, don't you have a good relationship with the Taoist priest? Why, stealing other people's money now is somewhat unreasonable."
Xu Youzhen said: "Hey, how did you know that I had my own reasons for stealing his money? I was forced to do so. Don't you understand me? Do I, Xu Youzhen, live on my salary? My father-in-law is from Jiangnan. The First Butcher, although he is older now, has batches of apprentices under his command, and the wealth he bought for us and my wife will never be spent..."
"Yes, yes, sir, my subordinate is stupid and can't understand."
Zhao Cong also met Xu Youzhen's father-in-law. When Xu Youzhen was working in Jiangnan, he often went to visit his father-in-law, and Zhao Cong followed him.
When they first met, Zhao Cong also opened his eyes with a knife in his butt.
A butcher's home is even more grand than the palace of a court official.
Really rich.
The floor is made of marble, the door is made of solid wood, the chairs are made of huanghuali, and the tea you drink is also the best Biluochun...
In addition, because of Xu Youzhen's rise in the court, his father-in-law also wore silk clothes and had a sinister face. He looked like a fat old man from a wealthy family, but he didn't have the temperament of a butcher at all.
He not only supported Xu Youzhen's studies and imperial examinations, but also bought property and fertile land for Xu Youzhen in Suzhou...
Xu Youzhen treated him like a father, and even asked the emperor for permission to allow his father-in-law to wear silk and satin...
Although his father-in-law has a biological son and there is no need for Xu Youzhen to pretend to be a son, he treats his children equally. Whatever his two sons have, his two daughters also have.
People who have never read a book and deal with pig boys all day long have no regard for the constraints of feudal etiquette.
Xu Youzhen had just scolded Taoist Priest Qingxu's eldest disciple at the door to attract the attention of the young Taoist boy and Taoist Qingxu, giving Zhao Cong time to transfer the money.
As he spoke, Xu Youzhen seemed to remember something and urged: "Hurry down the mountain. The middle-aged Taoist priest who is a little crazy at the door is amazing. He can kill four or five people. If he comes after him, this money will be enough." Gonna be snatched away.”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Cong saw Xu Youzhen walking faster, and he could only speed up his pace to keep up.
But in Zhao Cong's heart, he still didn't care.
An old man, a child, a fool.
After catching up, I punched a kid...
He can beat four or five with his bare hands, and he can catch them all with ease.
Of course, Zhao Cong didn't know that the crazy Taoist priest's physical fitness was far superior to that of ordinary people. Every time Qingxu went down the mountain, he was carried on his back, and he walked as fast as flying. Taoist priest Qingxu once missed the border in Tongzhou, more than ten years ago. A burly man captured him again and reported him to the official. It was this crazy Taoist priest who killed six people behind Qingxu's back, and then ran away smoothly...
If there was a real fight, Zhao Cong, an executioner who had killed many people before, would not be the opponent of the crazy Taoist priest.
He is just a child in front of others.
Xu Youzhen was not interested in silver and had no feelings whatsoever.
Although the money was large, Xu Youzhen didn't take it seriously. The reason why he took it away was because he didn't want Qingxu to retire early.
Xu Youzhen understands the true meaning of struggle and the essence of living and working until old age.
People, only by working continuously can they stay active forever. If you don't work, isn't it the same as sitting around and waiting to die? What's the point in that?
After saving enough one hundred taels and realizing the freedom of wealth, I will definitely lose my energy in this quiet time, so I just want to take care of myself in retirement.
Too much savings poses a great threat to the old man's physical and mental health, is not conducive to the old Taoist priest's struggle, and will also make him lose his sense of happiness.
What if, if my mind becomes more active, my mother returns to secular life and finds a wife to have children, isn't this a loss to Taoism?
What Xu Youzhen stole was not money, but the evil consequences that corrupted an excellent Taoist priest.
Qingxu is a serious Taoist priest.
However, Taoist people do not taboo what they say or do, as long as they have a clear conscience, they can do whatever they want.
He hates evil as much as he hates it, and he is kind. Moreover, not all of the money he got through deception was put into his own pocket.
I once swore before the Patriarch of the Sanqing Dynasty that I would love money but not be too greedy for money, be lustful but not obsessed with women, like to drink but never get drunk, be virtuous, moderate and measured.
He had his own way of collecting silver. Every time he got one hundred taels of silver, he would take one tael away to supplement his family's income. The remaining ninety-nine taels were distributed to the northern states through his own channels. In the hands of the lonely elderly people in the county.
Now that I have saved more than ninety taels, it is not difficult to figure out the astronomical figure of silver flowing from Qingxu's hands. I can also see how many dignitaries Qingxu has deceived and coaxed around.
This world is like this. The poor are busy for three meals and a few taels of silver, but the dignitaries can spend thousands of dollars just for the peace of mind.
The things they pursue are vastly different.
Xu Youzhen didn't take the money home. Instead, she went directly to the flower house and asked Zhao Cong to call the Jin Yiwei brothers who had been following him and treat them to a drink of flower wine.
Xu Youzhen did not look for a woman, she simply drank a little wine, watched the women dance, and then returned to her home.
As soon as he arrived at the mansion, he learned that Zhang Bao had come to look for him this morning.
Xu Youzhen saw that it was already getting late, and he couldn't look for Zhang Bao anymore, so he could only give up and think about asking Zhang Bao what happened after the meeting tomorrow.
Xu Youzhen had just returned to the lobby. Before she drank the tea to relieve her hangover, a servant came to report her.
Mr. Zhan was knocking at the back door.
Xu Youzhen met His Majesty three days ago when she first returned to the capital. She had a long chat with Zhan Yang and others in the evening. Why was she visiting in the middle of the night?
"Hurry up, bring in Mr. Zhan quickly..."
"Yes." After receiving the order, the servant hurriedly opened the door.
Zhan Yang never came to Xu Youzhen through the main entrance.
In the past, it was because Xu Youzhen's reputation was not very good, and Zhan Yang was afraid that he would make a bad reputation by hanging out with him for a long time, so he always came to Xu Youzhen from the secluded alley at the back door. But later, he just got used to walking. , some things are difficult to change...
