Chapter 175 Dragon and Phoenix Showing Prosperity (4k
After a while, Qi Yuhua came over with a small bowl of bamboo shoots and pork noodles. Although the portion was not much, the fresh bamboo shoots on the noodles exuded a fresh fragrance. Zhang Jian had actually gone without food, but he enjoyed the process very much.
I would rather taste such delicious food.
Qi Yuhua is very good at cooking. He seems to have learned it specially, and he can cook all kinds of delicacies at his fingertips.
Nothing is repeated in this breakfast. In addition to the bamboo shoot noodles, there are also two fresh noodles, soft lamb noodles, pork noodles, five-flavor porridge, seven-treasure porridge, and all kinds of lamb snacks. Zhang Jian said he found a treasure.
At this time, Qi Yuhua also saw several volumes of ancient scriptures that Zhang Jian had written a few days ago, and said so.
"Husband, I think you seem to like reading these kinds of scriptures very much. Most of these scriptures look dull and negative. If you read them too much, you will inevitably be affected..."
Qi Yuhua knew very well that these scriptures could easily affect a person's temperament.
She had heard of some underhand tactics. The eldest lady in some big families was worried that the inheritance rights of her legitimate sons would be affected, so they secretly exposed the concubines of the family to these scriptures from an early age, causing them to have deformed personalities, and even gradually tended to become a monk and seclude themselves from the world.
Zhang Jian laughed immediately after hearing this.
"Don't worry, madam, you are as beautiful as a flower by your side, how can you give up for your husband!"
As he spoke, Zhang Jian reached out and took Qi Yuhua into his arms. Upon seeing this, many female envoys nearby lowered their heads involuntarily and did not dare to look around.
After the couple laughed and had breakfast, Zhang Jian went to the Cultural and Sports Center on time to 'check in for work'.
When Zhang Jian stepped into the public hall of the Cultural and Sports Institute, Zhang Jian noticed that Chen Xiuming and others had already arrived early and were busy.
After not seeing each other for a few months, this 'good colleague' had lost a lot of weight, and there was also a hint of fatigue and anxiety on his face, as if he was always worried.
Zhang Jian didn't know the reason before, but later he accidentally heard Chen Xiuming chatting with several editors and discovered the clues. Zhang Jian was very happy about it.
After Zhang Jian entered the public house, Lin Dong, a clerk on the side, quickly stepped forward and made Zhang Jian a cup of fragrant tea.
This little official is very good at observing words and emotions.
Zhang Jian took a slight sip, with a smile on his face.
At this time, in the office, several editors no longer had the leisurely atmosphere of the past.
When Zhang Jian first arrived, even though several editors entered the palace, they would inevitably have to gossip about the "big things" in the palace, and they would not get into work until half past the hour.
Now that Zhang Jian has changed his past style, he is still not used to it.
But shortly after Zhang Jian stepped into the public house, Huang Liangzhong ordered someone to come and summon him.
Huang Liangzhong told him that there would be a meeting at court tomorrow, but he was the one who was ready to formally perform his compilation duties at court tomorrow morning and record the important matters of the meeting.
As for the original Chen Xiuming, he wanted to put all his efforts into compiling the "Da Qian Quanshu" and could not "take care of both" at the same time.
Naturally, Zhang Jian could not shirk this matter.
This was also his first time to participate in the morning court, which was also new to him.
"This Zhang Xiuzhan is a 'good luck'. He has come to Huangzhangyuan's favor so quickly. He is really prosperous as an official!"
"Who can let people be more 'hard-working' than you guys? Zhang Xiuzan and even Xiu Mu are in the cultural and sports academy! How can you not please people?"
Behind the scenes, many officials from the Culture and Sports Institute were discussing in low voices.
Zhang Jian glanced at these officials, sneered, and said calmly: "Everyone, when it comes to hard work, we have to mention Brother Chen Shi recently. Brother Chen is our role model. In order to complete the "Da Qian Quanshu" as soon as possible for His Majesty,
”, thinking so hard, forgetting to eat and sleep, there is no time in this month that I will leave later than before. I suggest that everyone should follow the example of Brother Chen Shi, eat your salary and share your worries, this is what you should do! "
Zhang Jianyan smiled at Yan Yan.
Chen Xiuming next to him was a little confused when he heard the words, until everyone looked at him with "strange" eyes, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
But he still cheered up.
"Zhang Xiuzhuan has won the award. I have studied the books of saints and sages for so many years and enjoyed the rice and silver given by the court every year, but I have never done anything practical for the court. I am really ashamed!"
His face was full of righteousness at this time.
This scene only made the editors from other cultural and sports institutes look strange.
They knew very well who Chen Xiuming was, and now it was as if he was a different person.
Only the two new editors Wang Qingzhou and Peng Yuanshou were a little awe-struck when they heard this, with admiration in their eyes.
The younger Peng Yuanshou's cheeks turned red, and he couldn't help but cheer for Chen Xiuming, a senior in the examination room.
The other few editors who didn't say anything knew it all and kept silent.
They will definitely suffer this mute's fate.
The next day, it was just four o'clock in the morning, so Zhang Jian got up early to make preparations.
It was actually a very hard job for important ministers inside and outside the Daqian court to go to the morning court. The time for the morning court was around five o'clock, which means they had to get up at three or four in the morning.
After all, the inner city is still quite some time away from the imperial city.
You can't gallop on your horse.
The best way is to sit in a sedan chair, where you can take a nap for a while.
However, Zhang Jian was not in trouble. As an immortal cultivator, he was always full of energy.
"My lady, you just need to rest, you don't have to get up to serve me!"
Walking down from the bed, Zhang Jian noticed that the beautiful lady next to him had also woken up in a hazy state, and he motioned to her to just continue sleeping and not to worry.
When the two girls in the side room next to him heard the noise, they quickly came out and came to wait on him.
One brought hot water to help Zhang Jian wash up, and the other wanted to step forward to help get dressed, but Zhang Jian stopped him.
"Yu Yao, Qu Lian, you two don't have to work anymore, just go and rest!"
The two beautiful girls didn't dare to leave after hearing this, so they could only stand aside and obey orders.
During this time, they also gradually got to know some of the little habits of the master in the house.
This lord does not need much service, most of it is done by himself.
Zhang Jian looked at the two beautiful girls and smiled slightly.
In this era, the mistress's maid actually worked harder than the ordinary maids. They not only had to keep vigil at night, but also came to serve the mistress at any time when it was inconvenient, including warming the bed.
Even when the Lord, Queen and Queen are not needed, they have to take turns and cannot sleep too deeply!
The rules are very strict.
It's more difficult than working from 5 to 9, unless you make a difference one day and get promoted as an aunt.
At this time, the beautiful girl on the bed was indeed very sleepy. She muttered a few words and fell asleep in an instant.
Zhang Lu was already waiting outside with a torch, but he was in high spirits and still had a smile on his face.
"My lord, shall we ride in a sedan chair or on horseback?"
Zhang Jian snorted softly upon hearing this.
"Walking of course!"
Hearing this, Zhang Lu's face immediately turned bitter. This 'worker' was not Zhang Jian, but him.
…
When Zhang Jian stepped into the Chengtian Hall, the sky outside had just dawned, and many civil and military ministers in the court were also filing in.
Zhang Jian's green robe was quite conspicuous among the many officials wearing red and purple. However, due to the fact that there was a censor watching from the censor's desk next to him, many civil and military ministers only glanced at it and stood in their positions. , close your eyes and rest your mind.
The military generals were slightly better. They were physically strong and energetic, while many civil servants looked troubled, and many of them were trying to keep their spirits up.
After Zhang Jian came in, he first asked the guards at the door and found his location.
His position is on the side of Chengtian Hall, where there is a small bookcase with pens, inks, paper and inkstones, and a chair. The treatment is quite good.
There was a strong aura of dragon and tiger in the Chengtian Palace. Zhang Jian couldn't move his spiritual eyes and looked around. At this time, his attention fell on his own destiny.
Since his wedding, he has noticed that all three of his fates have changed. It seems that a steady stream of luck has been continuously integrated into the three fates, causing the three fates to transform.
Especially the first destiny, dragon, chapter and phoenix.
After integrating into that flow of luck, there seemed to be a dragon shape and phoenix shadow emerging inside.
It also gradually changes from green with purple to purple and green intertwined, and the purple energy takes up the majority.
As for the other two fates, the scales of the purple-backed red carp manifested by the fate of King Chi Dezhen became clearer and clearer, with red dragon patterns appearing on them, and the carp's whiskers turned into dragon whiskers.
The fate of the mountains and rivers gradually condensed and emerged, and the fate of Xiaoding emerged.
The source of this change seems to be Qi Yuhua.
It is indeed a great benefit to have a phoenix life to support you.
As a result of the three major changes in destiny, Zhang Jian's speed in absorbing the wisdom of the world has also increased, indirectly benefiting from it.
At this time, Zhang Jian was not collecting spiritual resources for cultivation in the Chengtian Hall. This place was the focus of the Sheji Shinto. It could be said that all the gods gathered together. Naturally, he would not expose his foundation easily.
At this moment, Zhang Jian's expression suddenly changed. He noticed wisps of charm coming from the side hall, as if he were accompanied by all the gods, dragons and tigers roared with filial piety, and a young man in a black-yellow imperial robe yawned.
Come out of the side hall.
Emperor Jingwu has arrived.
At that moment, Zhang Jian also started his "function" as the secretary of the meeting, writing down every issue of the meeting, including the speeches of every important official in the court.
In fact, after writing the pen, Zhang Jian discovered that this was a position with very special power. If he had the intention to "dress up" many of his speeches, maybe the emperor would develop a dislike for a certain minister when he looked at them again.
bonus points.
The same word, used well, has the same meaning, but the context is very different.
If a minister offends the emperor with his words in Chengtian Palace, if he is willing, he can also help to make a few remarks on some key points. When the emperor looks at it again, his expression may have softened, or he may change his mind and save him.
The official career of this important minister.
However, when he first came here, Zhang Jian still wasn't very well-behaved and took notes as impartially as possible.
Zhang Jian noticed that he was not the only one taking notes. There were two other people, but those two were historians, and their functions were different from his.
At this time, after many large and small discussions in the counties were completed, many civil and military ministers began to negotiate around the last matter.
This is also a matter of concern to today's morning assembly ministers. Since the beginning of summer, strange signs of locust outbreaks have gradually appeared in various provinces.
The crops that had just been planted in various counties were about to be harvested, but now they encountered an outbreak of locusts. Production reduction became inevitable, and there may even be no harvest.
This locust plague appeared suddenly.
Many courtiers thought that this might be caused by evil spirits and heretics, and asked the Taoists of Dongshen Temple to find a way to solve the problem.
At this time, in the court hall, Emperor Jingwu frowned and looked at Taoist Jingming.
"Master Jingming, I remember that a locust plague broke out when the late emperor was still alive. Later, several elders in the Dongshen Temple who were proficient in beast control took action and drove millions of birds to fly north, solving such a disaster. Can you please invite a few more
Will the elders step forward to solve these natural and man-made disasters?"
Taoist Jingming stood in front of the three ministers and nine ministers.
Behind him are the imperial censor Zhuang Ying and the Taiwei Chu Ping.
Prime Minister Chen Kunren has recently taken sick leave and is still recuperating at home, and did not participate in the morning meeting.
Taoist Jingming was a little embarrassed when he heard this.
It was not difficult for Dong Shen Guan to send a few elders to deal with the locust plague, but what he was worried about was the plan to divert the tigers away from the mountain.
Nowadays, the defense force in Haojing City is insufficient. The transfer of any elder of the first generation may create a defense loophole.
Moreover, the locust plague is still dangerous. It may not be safe if only one elder is mobilized. Several elders must be mobilized to make things easier.
But he couldn't refuse this matter.
After all, it is about the country.
"Your Majesty, please leave this matter to the ministers. Dongshen Guan will solve the matter for your Majesty and avoid disaster for the people!"
At this time, another official wearing a red robe stood up and said.
"Your Majesty, in addition to this, there are demons and demons who take advantage of natural and man-made disasters to confuse the people and spread rumors that are detrimental to the court. These demons and snake gods have each formed some Taoist sects, such as the Zoroastrian Sect, the Qingping Taoist Sect, the Sanyang Tao, the Honglian Tao, etc.
Wait, please also ask His Majesty to issue an order to ban these illegal sects!"
This is an official in charge of Taichang Temple.
A few days ago, Zhang Jian heard someone mention Honglian Dao and raised his eyebrows.
He looked unmoved. As the Taoist master behind Red Lotus Tao, he was certainly very aware of the speed of development of Red Lotus Tao.
With the help of last year's drought and ice disaster, Honglian Road has indeed developed rapidly.
Especially after the change of doctrine, adhering to the light of the flame, friendship, solidarity and mutual assistance, we gathered many refugees and refugees and helped them get out of their predicaments.
These refugees have a natural affinity for Honglian Road.
Of course, he has a great fondness for Honglian Dao, but a great dislike for the government.
Although Honglian Dao has now become a pure Taoist organization, if something changes, it will indeed sweep through all counties.
Emperor Jingwu nodded slightly and said: "What He Aiqing said is true. I will ask the Academy of Culture and Sports to draft an edict to ban these folk sects. I will also send officials from Qin Tian Taizhong to inspect various places. If there is any disharmony, we will work together with the local officials."
Send troops to forcibly dissolve these sects!”
After the Xuandu Rebellion, Emperor Jingwu became very wary of the existence of this Taoist sect.
Listening to the advice of many ministers in the court, Zhang Jian knew that not only Honglian Dao, but other Dao sects would soon be in trouble.
But since he got the first-hand information, he was naturally able to let Honglian Dao avoid the attack.
The method used is still just to break it into parts and disperse the backbone of the Taoist sect.
The foundation of these Taoist sects is the homeless people. As long as the Daqian court does not solve the problem of land annexation and the expansion of aristocratic families, these Taoist sects will soon be able to revive from the ashes.
