291, I didn't expect you to be like Zhang Jiuling (please complete the order)
"Kameyama Ce?"
Bai Gui was slightly surprised when he heard this.
"You are a new scholar, you should know what kind of method Guishan Ce is..."
"Please tell me and listen."
Hou Shaowei took the school entrance examination.
"Guishan Ce... should be taken from the name of Gui Ce." "Book of Rites·Yue Ling" says: "(Meng Dong's Moon) ordered the Taishi to pick up the turtle pods, divine omens, and judge the good and bad fortune." In "Chu Ci"
Said: 'Use the heart of the king, do the will of the gentleman, Gui Cecheng cannot know things.'"
"Guice is the collective name of turtle shell and yarrow in ancient times. Yarrow can be used for divination."
Bai Gui thought about his words and replied.
As for the mountain in Guishan Ce, he also had some guesses, but he was not sure.
"You are right. Guishan Ce is the science of divination and astrology. Our sect's holy temple was formerly called Lou Guan Tao. What is the word Lou Guan? It means knotting grass into a building and watching the stars and gas, so it is called Lou Guan Tao!
"
"Guishan Ce not only means turtle policy, but also..."
""Zhou Li Chunguan" says: 'The three Yi methods of Taibu Zhang are: one is Lianshan, the second is Guizang, and the third is Zhou Yi.' Shennong created "Lianshan Yi" and Huangdi created "Guizang Yi"
…”
"These two Yiyi have been lost for a long time. Fortunately, the ancestors have made up for the missing records for many years, and only then can we get this "Guishan Policy"." ("lost" means lost.)
"However, Guishan Ce also contains a wonderful method for the transformation of Jiuxu Shangzhen. You can practice this method. As for the method of astrological divination, it can be used as an auxiliary practice. If you don't know the sky, you can still practice "Qingyu Hidden Method" in the wild.
Okay, but now you are an official in the court..."
Hou Shaowei showed admiration on his face and sighed slightly in his tone.
He could tell that Bai Gui roughly guessed what Guishan Ce meant, but there was no explanation.
"Guishan Mountain is located in the northwest corner of the sky, with a circumference of 40,000,000 miles. It is connected with Yuqing. It is sealed by the Queen Mother of the West. Xuan Ce has a wonderful method for the transformation of Jiuxu. It is recorded as a famous urn. All are engraved on it.
"On Guishan..." - "Yunji Qizhuan·Volume 8"
"Thank you Master for passing me "Guishan Policy"."
Hearing this, Bai Gui had no room for hesitation anymore and knelt down and worshiped again.
Hou Shaowei nodded and taught the method.
…
Bai Gui first taught the "Tai Shang San Wu Du Gong Sutra" and became the second disciple of Hou Shaowei, the leader of Lou Guan Taoism. As a rule, he was considered a Taoist with a high status in Zong Sheng Guan, but
He is still a junior in Zong Sheng Temple, and needs to come to Haotian Temple every day to do homework like many disciples. Occasionally, he also needs to observe affairs, attend temples, perform sutras, repentance, and so on.
These are all things you need to do as a new disciple of Louguan Taoism.
Even he is no exception.
However, Master Hou Shaowei thought that he was still the secretary of the imperial court, so he was very lax in his management.
No need to run back and forth.
The position of school secretary is neither leisure nor leisure, nor busy nor busy.
Check in at the Secretary's Department every morning. At noon, that is, at 12 noon, you can go home from get off work and only work for half a day. In addition, the rest system in the Tang Dynasty was to take a break every ten days, that is, ten days off. A day off.
There are also various holidays.
Extremely relaxing.
Ten days passed in a row.
"Meihe, Prime Minister Liu of the Political Affairs Hall has asked our secretaries to go to the private sector to look for unstored books."
"You go with me."
Zhang Jiuling, dressed in green robe, walked down from the second floor of the library pavilion and said to Bai Gui with a smile.
"books?"
Bai Gui was startled for a moment, a little confused.
The books of the Secretary's Ministry can be said to be the most comprehensive in the world. Finding a book that has been left out among the people and has not yet been added to the list is like looking for a needle in a haystack. It is extremely difficult. With just two people, he and Zhang Jiuling, searching through Chang'an bookstores, it is estimated that
I couldn't find one or two books that were not included in the Secretary's Ministry.
"In the autumn and August of the first year of Tianbao, I was sent by an envoy to ask for a suicide note to be left in the world." - Xiao Yingshi's "Denglinhecheng Fu and Preface"
The envoy is their school secretary.
In addition to managing the library, the school secretary also has the job of searching for suicide notes.
"Meihe, you don't understand."
"It is extremely difficult to find a book from Chang'an that has not been included in the Ministry of Secretaries. The money given by the Ministry of Revenue is not enough to send beggars. The dozen or so money given is to supplement our allowance..."
Seeing Bai Gui's confusion, Zhang Jiuling explained casually.
"Give us a subsidy. We can't really divide the money, do nothing, go to Chang'an for a casual walk, and just pay it as travel expenses. No one can find out our mistakes."
"After all, if you look for a suicide note, you have to pay for it!"
He added.
"What you said makes sense, Zishou."
Bai Gui immediately understood that this was legal "corruption."
Although the school secretary is said to be a ninth-grade sesame official, there is no official with a lower official rank than them in Chang'an City. If you throw a brick casually, it will hit an official with a higher rank than them. But the position of school secretary has a promising future.
The position is low and the power is high. After all, the word "secretary" does not come for nothing. Jane is in the emperor's heart. As long as she has enough qualifications, she will rise to the top.
Therefore, when the Ministry of Household Affairs gives money, it will give it to the school secretary, so it seems that the school secretary's salary is not much, but the benefits are very high.
However, there was something a little weird about him. Historical records record that this famous prime minister was loyal, conscientious, and law-abiding.
Unexpectedly, I never expected that Bai Meihe, who had been in the secretary's office for so many days, had not yet become an adulterer, but that the future virtuous prime minister would be like this.
The two of them left the Xuanwu Gate, took off their green official robes, and rode horses on Zhuque Street.
"Is it past noon?"
"I wonder where Brother Zishou plans to go?"
Bai Gui asked.
"Let's have a good meal at a restaurant in the West Market. You don't know that I have been working as a school secretary in Chang'an for more than two years. Although I was promoted from the ninth rank to the ninth rank, my salary has not changed much..."
“I’ve been craving for a drink these days!”
Zhang Jiuling sat on the horse and said greedily.
The price of rice in Chang'an is cheap, but the price of wine is not cheap at all. Du Fu wrote a poem: "I drink a dou of wine early in the morning, and I have three hundred bronze coins."
A dou is ten liters, and a liter of wine is thirty cents.
In ancient times, grain output was low, so the price of rice could be cheap, but the price of wine had to be high, and grain could not be used to make large-scale wine.
With the school secretary's salary, after deducting necessary expenses in a month, there is not much left, and there is no way to drink a few drinks.
"You see, we are the school secretary, and the school secretary in Pingkangfang is also the school secretary."
"Instead of just drinking alone, it's better to go to Pingkangfang..."
Zhang Jiuling rode for a while, reined in the reins, and suggested.
There were quite a few school clerks in the Secretariat Province. The reason why he was willing to find Bai Gui was because Bai Gui was young. When he went to Pingkangfang, not only did he not have to pay, he could also receive a red envelope, which was a good thing.
A top scholar can be sold for a lot of money.
"If you go to Pingkangfang..."
"I do have thoughts in this regard, but I have always been short of money. Now that I have public funds from the Ministry of Household Affairs..."
Bai Gui hesitated for a while and then agreed happily.
He has long wanted to see what is inside Pingkangfang. When he was in Yanjing, he was looked down upon by Bai Xiuzhu and did not have time to appreciate the beauty of the eight alleys. Now that he has come to Chang'an, of course he has to go to Pingkangfang.
.
In the spring and April of the second year of Jingyun, I was sent to Pingkang by envoy to request a suicide note.
