This name is not unfamiliar to her. On the one hand, it comes from the original Song Dynasty in the Water Margin world, where the prophecy of "Tui Bei Tu" was circulated. On the other hand, Li Yan also mentioned this legendary fortune teller in history.
Unfortunately, there is always a discrepancy between reality and legend.
For example, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng created "Tui Bei Tu", which is said to predict thousands of years and predict all major events in future generations clearly and miraculously.
But in fact, the so-called prophecy album is basically the result of human modifications in the past dynasties. That is, things happen, they are recorded and constantly updated, so they are naturally accurate.
Not to mention that the content of "Tui Bei Tu" is forged, even the entire "Tui Bei Tu" itself is a rumor based on fake celebrities.
In the Tang Dynasty, Tuibeitu only had three characters in the Dunhuang documents. It is not clear what it was about. It was probably not a prophecy at all. The author was certainly not Yuan and Li. It was only considered a prophecy in the Northern Song Dynasty and a prophecy in the Southern Song Dynasty.
It was Yue Fei's grandson who first identified it as being written by Li Chunfeng. Finally, at the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Yuan Tiangang was added to the "Tongjian of the Immortal Body and Way of the Past" and became the co-author of "Tui Bei Tu".
These two men themselves had many prophetic deeds, as well as talents in astronomy and algebra. As a result, their own abilities were not obvious, but the prophecy book in their name was widely known to the world, which is also surprising.
But no matter what, a physiognomist has nothing to do with Zhenwu Temple. How did Yuan Tiangang become the master of the temple and exclude Ming Chongyan to the point where it was difficult for him to return to the capital?
"I have lived in Anxi for a long time and have only recently returned to Guanzhong. I don't know what Yuan Tiangang's methods are. Please tell me in detail!"
When Xiao Hei explained like this, the Taoist believed him and hurriedly said: "Yuan Zhenren rides on the Great Leader, walks on the North Pole, carries Yuan Gang, holds the Tianshu, holds the six qi, and commands all spirits. Externally, he can communicate with the gods, and internally, he can extend life.
…”
Xiao Hei was too lazy to listen to the long explanation: "To make it simple, tell me what strange skills he has?"
The Taoist priest had no choice but to simply say: "The real person can warm and nourish the treasures, enlighten the spirit and connect the gods, so as to calm the mind of heaven..."
Xiao Hei said: "Isn't that just Fu Luan Qi Ji?"
The Taoist priest was startled and laughed dryly: "Do officials still know how to support the ji?"
The little gangster said: "During the Western Han Dynasty, there was this technique of deceiving the people. How could I not know that the so-called spiritual enlightenment is just a trick to pretend to be gods and ghosts? Is this what Yuan Tiangang is capable of?"
Her tone was too contemptuous, which actually aroused the Taoist priest's dissatisfaction: "Does the official know which god Yuan Zhenren can understand?"
Xiao Hei raised his eyebrows, half-smiling but not smiling: "Could it be Zhenwu Shengjun?"
The Taoist priest nodded repeatedly, sincerely envious: "It is God Xuantian! Master Yuan can sense changes and reach everything. He really has great supernatural powers!"
"Using the name of God and trying to figure out the holy will, it seems that Li Hong, who has been obsessed with Taoism in recent years, also has a share of Yuan Tiangang's 'contribution'?"
Xiao Hei snorted coldly, thought for a while, and asked the last question: "Which room does your conservator live in?"
The Taoist priest hesitated for a moment, pointed out the direction, and when he turned back, the mysterious inner guard had disappeared without a trace.
"Can this person arrest Ming Chongyan..."
The Taoist priest originally thought that this man had solid evidence and was here to seize someone. He was not liked by Ming Chongyan. The oil and water in the temple was visible and intangible. He longed for Ming Chongyan to get out of his life, but after the contact, he became inexplicably worried.
.
Xiao Hei ignored the little thoughts of these Taoist priests and came to Ming Chongyan's room. He first checked the furnishings, then took a gentle sniff, and reached behind the bookshelf.
"Sure enough, there is a hidden compartment..."
She took out a box and opened it directly without fear of the mechanism.
Inside are thick documents and letters.
Xiao Hei quickly turned over it.
Not surprisingly, these records are all about Yuan Tiangang’s research.
The person who knows you best is not a friend, but an enemy. Ming Chongyan was squeezed away from Chang'an by Yuan Tiangang. He has been studying this enemy over the years and listed several key points -
Age, identity, physiognomy and conspiracy!
The first is age.
Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng were both from the late Sui Dynasty and early Tang Dynasty, and their recorded activities continued until the anniversary of Wu. However, there is doubt that Yuan Tiangang was older and died earlier.
Although Wu Zhou Dynasty was not born yet, the time is almost the same. If Yuan Tiangang really lived to this day, he would be older than Changsun Wuji and must be over a hundred years old.
And this is precisely what he is revered by believers in the world, and even valued by the saint Li Hong, longevity!
"Nandou Yunxing, controls the life span of the emperor, and is also the position of the prime minister." Zhenwu is the god of command. Worshiping it can increase your life span. Yuan Tiangang claims to be able to communicate with Zhenwu who has returned to the divine world. Only with his blessing can he live to this day.
.
Ming Chongyan didn't believe it at all, and concluded that the current Yuan Tiangang was not the one who came from the late Sui Dynasty at all, but was someone else pretending to be.
Since it is a disguise, the identity of the pretender is very important.
As long as this lie is exposed, everything else will fall apart.
It's a pity that all these years of overt and covert investigations have yielded no results. Instead, the descendants of those whose faces were seen came out one after another to testify, and some even took out portraits. The Taoist priests with immortal demeanor above were those who had insight into the secrets of heaven and had the skills of immortals.
Yuan Tiangang.
Ming Chongyan was helpless and prepared to start with physiognomy.
Didn't Yuan Tiangang predict the future by touching bones and looking at faces, so he can find out from here!
As a result, this link also failed. Those who went to see Yuan Tiangang to set up traps were bribed by him one after another. Instead, they cooperated with each other and performed several good shows, which further enhanced the other party's reputation.
During the whole process, Ming Chongyan realized that the inner guards were also involved, and even more concluded that there must be a huge organization behind Yuan Tiangang that was no less powerful than the "Zhu Ming" of the past, and was ready to subvert the imperial court, and even use the growing influence of Taoism to
Conspiracy to usurp the throne!
"It's organized step by step, and it's somewhat convincing. Unfortunately, there's no evidence. It's just conjecture after all..."
"Did you put it here on purpose so that others would find it?"
When Xiao Hei saw the end, his eyes flickered, and he roughly guessed that Ming Chongyan had set up a secret box not really to hide the records, but rather to hope that the internal guards would seize them and hand them in as a confession.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He swore firmly that the real Yuan Tiangang had died early, and that the current Taoist priests were thieves in disguise, with huge forces behind them, but they were all one-sided words without any evidence.
It is precisely because of the empty talk that we need to use this method of revealing secrets to increase our persuasiveness.
Xiao Hei dislikes magic sticks that pretend to be true martial arts, but she also knows that such methods cannot bring down a rising religious leader.
"It seems that Ming Chongyan is really dead."
"As for Yuan Tiangang..."
"snort!"
With a flick of Xiao Hei's palm, the letter flew up, returned to the secret grid, and disappeared without a trace.
Ming Chongyan, who was doing the exercise outside, inexplicably slowed down his movements by half a beat. He raised his head slightly and looked at the cloudy sky. His old eyes fluctuated for a moment before returning to numb waiting.
…
"The person who received the Dashi envoys was actually a Taoist temple?"
Puaduli took the first step, but before he entered the pass, Xiao Hei chased him from behind and brought a key clue.
Ming Chongyan's plan failed, but she was inspired by the intelligence collected. She made a secret investigation at the Taoist Temple in Liangzhou City and discovered clues about the Dashi envoys.
This news made Puaduoli suddenly realize: "Half a month ago, Liangzhou Taoist Temple received a foreign caravan. The leader took out the token of the inner guard, and the temple owner did not dare not accept it... No wonder I was in the post house
I didn’t find out that they are actually living in a Taoist temple and in the name of internal guards!”
The little gangster said: "With the current prominence of Taoism, ordinary officials are not afraid of it, but they dare not disobey the orders of the internal guards."
But Puaduli was still puzzled: "What's the reason? Don't Taoist priests find it strange that a country's envoys don't live in a post house but are hidden in a Taoist temple?"
Xiao Hei had already asked for the reason: "The envoy was assassinated in Hexi, and the guards were killed and wounded. There was a lot of noise, so they were secretly arranged to enter the Taoist temple..."
Puaduli's eyes widened: "The thief calls for catching the thief?"
"not necessarily……"
Xiao Hei looked forward: "Maybe we are not the only ones paying attention to this envoy, there are also some who don't want them to arrive in the capital!"
Puaduli wanted to say more, but she already waved her whip: "No need to say more, everything will become clear when we enter Chang'an! Come on!"
The official road continued to stretch before our eyes. After several days of riding horses under the stars and the moon, the most majestic city in the world finally came into view.
"Population growth in Guanzhong is well controlled..."
Xiaohei has long been a lynx with a vision for governing the country. Puaduli did not know the stakes, but she found that while the land of Anxi became increasingly prosperous, the flow of people in Guanzhong did not increase as much as expected, and she secretly marveled.
The food supply in Guanzhong has always been a long-standing problem. Although the dredging of the canal has relieved considerable pressure, the Tang Dynasty has not started a war for twenty years since the destruction of Tibet. The population has surged. If people from all over the world continue to flock to the capital,
, food shortages are still inevitable.
Nowadays, this worry has not come true. Anxi is opening up wasteland, Hexi is being managed, Guanzhong is stable, and development in various places is in order. It can be seen that the national power of the Tang Dynasty is still booming.
"The emperor ignores the affairs of the government and can have such a prosperous situation. It is the merit of the virtuous ministers!"
…
Just as Xiao Hei officially entered Beijing, Di Renjie was walking into the political hall.
He is nearly seventy years old, and most of his beard and hair have turned gray, and his plump, round face has become more kind. However, his body under the purple robe is still thick and straight, without any rickets.
Along the way, officials from three provinces and six ministries he met saluted, showing their sincere admiration.
In recent years, the saint no longer worked hard to govern and indulged in monasticism as in his early years. The burden of the court fell on the shoulders of the prime minister. Di Renjie really lived up to his trust, making the country prosperous and the government and the public at peace. No wonder people at that time called him "Di Gong"
There is only one wise person south of Beidou."
Dounan is a unique talent in the world!
However, when Di Renjie walked by and another purple-robed official appeared, the expressions of the officials did not change, but they had another attitude in their hearts.
If we respect Di Renjie, we also have respect for Xianggong Jia, but more importantly, we are afraid of him.
Because every step he took after becoming an official, he almost stepped on the corpses of his opponents to get to the top, especially the confrontation between aristocratic families and humble families.
Di Renjie's attitude was to mediate, while Xianggong Jia stood clearly on the side of the poor families. Many high-ranking families in Guanzhong were given a headache by his management. I don't know how many people hated him, but they could do nothing about him.
Jasbo didn't care what these weaklings thought, he only enjoyed the pleasure of entering and exiting the political hall.
The Political Hall is the main office of the Prime Minister and the head of hundreds of departments. The affairs handled here every day can affect the future direction of the entire country. It is his lifelong wish to work here.
Of course, the Council of Ministers and Political Affairs Hall is not the pinnacle of ministers. The Tang Dynasty adopted the system of group ministers. At first, the secretary was the secretary, and the subordinates were the prime ministers, with two full members. At the end of Zhenguan, the ministers on the left and right were promoted to the same position. In the Gaozong Dynasty, some important ministers were added to the post.
Titles such as being responsible for affairs, knowing political affairs, and regulating military affairs and important affairs should all be regarded as prime ministers.
Historically, during Wu Zetian's reign, killing the prime minister was like mowing grass. It was precisely because when there were more people, the differences would be greater and the power would be dispersed. She would defeat them one by one, leaving the prime minister with no ability to restrict the imperial power.
Today, after certain restructuring, the number of prime ministers has been reduced to three to four, each of whom performs his or her own duties. The person who truly holds the power is the prime minister. Di Renjie is the leader of such officials, and Jia Sibo is the least senior.
He was not satisfied, so he would not miss any opportunity. At this time, he saw Di Renjie's generous back from a distance, walked a few steps quickly, and chased after him: "Mr. Di!"
Di Renjie stopped and waited, then walked into the hall with him: "Does Mr. Jia have something important?"
"It's really a big deal!"
Jia Sibo said sternly: "Jia Zhong'an, the Prime Minister of Honglu Temple, sent a message to Beijing on horseback. Another large food envoy from Anxi entered the country, accusing the previous envoy of being fake thieves and plotting evil!"
Di Renjie's expression became serious, he went to his desk, took out a document, read it carefully and said: "The Dashi envoy has moved into the post house, and the dancer Lan Masanti has entered the palace to rehearse. During the Qianqiu Festival, we will
The saint performed the 'Flying Sky' dance, and the saint was looking forward to it..."
Jia Sibo said solemnly: "My Tang Dynasty is good at dancing, and Master Yuan praised Lanmasanti's dance a lot, saying that she has the ability to communicate with the gods. The saint naturally expected that this girl should not be allowed to come into contact with the saint now. She wants to give up.
This dance requires a lot of effort!"
Di Renjie pondered and said: "The envoys entered the country one after another, one is true and the other is false. There must be something fishy about this matter. What does Mr. Jia think?"
Jia Sibo immediately said: "In my opinion, there should be internal strife and branches in the empire. When the thieves find out about this, they will definitely cause chaos. They can be tricked into taking action to get the evidence!"
Di Renjie stroked his beard gently and asked: "How long will it take for the second envoy to arrive in the capital?"
Jia Sibo said: "Anxi and Chang'an are thousands of miles apart. A normal journey would take as much as a hundred days."
Di Renjie said: "Order the important members of the envoy to rush to the capital as soon as possible."
Jia Sibo nodded lightly, not obeying blindly. As the prime minister, he should express his own opinion: "A government is established and destroyed. Now we have this situation in the Tang Dynasty. It is hard-won. Don't be careless at all, especially when it involves big things."
Eat! Judge Dee, in my opinion..."
At this point, his voice lowered slightly, becoming more and more cold and decisive: "Both envoys can be destroyed!"
