The Jin Dynasty's Imperial City Si Yamen was burned to the ground. The fire started from the archives library. Two colleagues were working there at that time, but now there is no body left. The King of Jin temporarily found a house to serve as the Yamen for them, and everyone hurriedly cleaned up the house.
Fan. Eunuch Gan ordered the official to go out, and in a subtle code word he informed the colleague who knew the riddle of his predecessor Mr. Sun, that he would come somewhere to see the official immediately. He was exhausted and sat there for a long time, and asked Yin Zhuang to accompany him out.
Door.
The two men in green clothes and hats walked to the entrance of the Fourth Highness's residence. Eunuch Gan wrote a name note and sent it in. Not long after, someone invited them in. Eunuch Gan walked into Situ Wei's study alone, and Yin Zhuang stood at the door waiting.
For more than half an hour, Eunuch Gan called Yin Zhuang inside. Situ Wei took a portrait and asked him: "Yin Ganban, do you recognize this person?"
Yin Zhuang looked at it twice and said, "I've seen it before, but I don't recognize it."
Situ Wei smiled and raised his eyebrows: "Sit down and tell us what's going on."
Yin Zhuang glanced at Eunuch Gan, clasped his fists and said, "I humbly obey my orders."
Yin Zhuang's uncle Yin Qiye is a gambler. A few days ago, Yin Qiye was having bad luck. He came back from the casino angrily and told his nephew that he got into a fight with someone. Yin Zhuang suddenly had a headache. Yin Qiye walked through the green forest in his early years, and his skills
Extremely extraordinary. When he said fighting with someone, he meant he beat them up. Yin Zhuang himself was a craftsman, and he was most afraid of being spotted, especially local snakes like casino owners. So he took Yin Qiye back to the casino.
Go see the situation.
Only when we got there did we find out that Master Yin Qi had beaten up all the thugs in the casino and laughed at them for looking at the decorations. Yin Zhuang had no choice but to use thousands of gentle words to negotiate with them, and finally lost money.
It was over. The friend of the boss was watching the excitement and said that it would be better to invite Yin Qiye to be the nurse, and he could play a few games himself. Yin Qiye immediately said: "Then there will be no way to have fun."
My friend thought the uncle and nephew were interesting and wanted to make friends with them and treat them to a drink.
Unexpectedly, Master Yin Qi had eaten too much again, and he stumbled every step he took when he came out of the restaurant. Several pedestrians passed by, and a Confucian scholar among them saw Yin Zhuang pulling two horses, looked at him a few times, and said: "Brother, although your companion has
I'm a bit drunk, but my foot is steady, so I can ride without any problems."
Yin Zhuang cupped his hands and said, "Thank you sir for reminding me. My uncle's foot is stable because he has practiced martial arts all year round. He is not intoxicated. When people are drunk, they will inevitably become confused. If you are confused while riding, or fall down, or hurt someone else,
What? It’s better to avoid evil things and try your best to avoid them.”
The Confucian scholar was surprised: "It's really rare for me to have such a strong awareness of public safety at such a young age." Then he looked at Yin Qiye and said with a smile, "This brother has a good temper, and he really listens to his nephew's words."
Yin Qiye burped and said, "It's okay for me to ride a horse. But if I'm on a horse, this brat will be worried, so he'll have to walk. Who makes me his uncle?"
The Confucian scholar smiled and said, "Brother, that's fine too." Then he asked them their names.
Yin Zhuang said hurriedly: "Just ordinary people are not worth mentioning."
Master Yin Qi opened his mouth and said: "My nephew's name is Yin Zhuang. I am a nobody, so there is no need to ask."
By chance, he met a gambler who recognized him and said with a smile: "Master Yin Qi also dared not say his name sometimes? But if he causes trouble again, I'm afraid he will lose face to your nephew?"
Yin Qiye glanced at him indifferently: "Do you think your tongue is too heavy?"
The man hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, I can't beat Master Qi." He ran away.
The Confucian scholar went straight to Yin Qiye and put his arm on his shoulder, and asked carefully about Yin Zhuang's name, Nian Geng. Yin Qiye thought that he wanted to propose marriage for Yin Zhuang, so he was overjoyed and hurriedly told others. But as soon as he said his name, Yin Qiye let Yin Zhuang know his name.
Zhuang was dragged away.
After talking about this incident, Yin Zhuang told Situ Wei and Duke Gan: "The person in the portrait is the Confucian scholar."
Situ Wei was surprised and said: "There are slogans posted on the streets of Dajiala saying don't drink when riding, and don't ride when drinking. Do you know?"
"I don't know."
Situ Wei nodded: "You are naturally aware of public safety. No wonder this person likes you."
Eunuch Gan said inexplicably: "Is it because of this?"
Situ Wei said with a smile: "You don't know. It's extremely difficult to change people's social awareness, especially the awareness of public safety. Not to mention that brother is optimistic about it, even I am optimistic about it. Whenever you don't like him, send me away.
how?"
Eunuch Gan hummed: "If there are good things, you want them, and if there are good people, you want them too. I'm used to you! I won't give them to you."
"It's okay if you don't give it to me. I won't force it." Situ Wei looked at him and sighed, "There are many humane things in the Federation." He handed him a newspaper, which was "Ping'an Prefecture Business News".
.The headline of the newspaper read: Zhu Tong, the Prime Minister of the Great Qin Kingdom, is about to launch the most-favored-nation trade negotiation with the Federal Empire of China. Situ Wei clicked on one of the paragraphs. Eunuch Gan looked away and was instantly moved.
That text says that the Federation is opposed to "eunuchs", the unscrupulous torture that deprives humans of their basic rights. Both Yan and Zhao have abolished the eunuch system. Last year, Lu, Yue and Lu all completed most-favored-nation trade negotiations with the Federation.
, one of the conditions is to abolish the eunuch system. Anyone who wants to negotiate the most-favored nation trade with the Federation must abolish the eunuch system. According to well-informed sources who do not want to be named, the Shu Kingdom is also preparing to start this negotiation as early as early next year. This means
The long-established industry of eunuch dressing will gradually disappear in our country.
Situ Wei said softly: "From all aspects, the Federation is more advanced than the vassal states like us. Axi, your tragedy is irreversible. However, there are still new children suffering from this every year. It is not true that the Imperial City was so completely destroyed.
A bad thing may be a turning point. You can rebuild a brand new Imperial City Division."
Eunuch Gan was silent for a long time and said: "Your Highness, the Fourth Highness, has changed."
Situ Wei said leisurely: "The environment has changed, the experience has increased, and people will naturally change. It just depends on whether the change is good or bad. I think my change is good."
Eunuch Gan raised his eyes and took a deep look at him. "Really?"
Situ Wei smiled: "Isn't it?"
Eunuch Gan moved his eyes and stared at the teacup for enough time to make a cup of tea, and suddenly said, "I'm leaving, my servant."
Situ Wei nodded: "Think about it. No matter what, the railway is the best opportunity for our country of Jin. We must not miss it. Jia Cong is a simple man by nature and finds it extremely troublesome. He who can take one step will never take two steps."
Step. If the Chu State had not been divided into so many small pieces, there is no telling whether this railway would have passed through our Jin State."
Eunuch Gan stood up, and Yin Zhuang also stood up. Eunuch Gan looked at Situ Wei for a long time, then bent down and saluted. Yin Zhuang followed suit. Situ Wei smiled and waved his hands and said, "Okay, okay, I've never seen you do this before.
So many gifts. Let's go, let's go." Eunuch Gan and Yin Zhuang left respectfully.
After leaving the mansion, Eunuch Gan walked with his hands behind his back. Yin Zhuang followed him. Seeing that he was approaching the new Yamen of the Imperial City, Eunuch Gan suddenly asked: "Yin Zhuang, what can you tell during this trip today?"
Yin Zhuang said: "Your Highness the Fourth Highness wants to join in the fight for the throne."
Eunuch Gan's lips twitched: "Is it so obvious?"
"He is trying to win over you." Yin Zhuang said, "If he doesn't want to, why should he win over you?"
"What do you think of him?"
"It's hard to get anything done."
"How can it be so difficult to accomplish anything?"
"The first is unwise. There are only two people in the court, Your Excellency and General Lin, who are determined not to win over. The second is that there is no foundation and no one to help." Yin Zhuang said, "Your Excellency is an official of the Imperial City. Unless you have other Highnesses,
He secretly committed an unforgivable mistake, otherwise the Imperial City Division would not be able to give him much help. Why should other adults... help him?"
Eunuch Gan said silently, "What do you think of the railway?"
Yin Zhuang said: "I don't know anything about this humble position."
"Now we know that the railway can bring huge profits. If he takes charge of the railway, can he gain the strength to fight against the crown prince and others?"
Yin Zhuang thought for a long time and said, "I don't know what a humble position is."
"But it doesn't matter."
"No." Yin Zhuang said, "Your Majesty is short of money. Don't say anything else, I don't know how much it will cost to rebuild the Imperial City. If the railway can make big profits, Your Majesty will definitely take it back before His Highness the Fourth Prince gets the benefits. Even if he gets a favor,
He can't protect the cornucopia, unless the Prime Minister Han Qi risks his life to help. Mr. Han is loyal to the prince and has no intention of looking down upon the Fourth Highness."
Eunuch Gan nodded: "Yinzhuang, what you said makes sense." Then he said no more.
As soon as the two of them arrived at the door of the Yamen, the door came up to them and said that someone had uncovered the notice posted by Eunuch Gan. Eunuch Gan led Yin Zhuang into the hall with his hands behind his back. He saw a man dressed as a businessman standing in front of the hall, and he turned around when he heard the noise.
When I came, I saw this man in his fifties, with a long beard and a somewhat elegant look, and he looked like a scholar.
Yin Zhuang was shocked and said: "Dong Ma's family!"
Ma Dongjia was also surprised: "Yin Xiaoguan!" The two looked at each other and smiled. Ma Dongjia cupped his hands and said, "You are not an official from the prefecture's Yamen."
Yin Zhuang then told Gong Gan: "The first person mentioned it humiliatingly that my uncle caused trouble in the casino, and a friend of the casino owner invited us to have a drink. This owner Ma is that friend."
It turns out that the owner of this horse is named Ma Sili, and he trades in antiques and has four or five shops. Mr. Sun, the former official of the Imperial City Division, left a riddle elsewhere, saying that if something happens to both the Imperial City Division and himself,
, according to this riddle, he could find a fellow monk who was a monk. But he did not tell him what the use of the colleague who was a monk was, and what he was looking for. It was not until he saw the list that Ma Sili knew who was guarding the important file backup.
.
Eunuch Gan nodded: "Although Mr. Sun is gone, things are still in order." Then he asked him a riddle.
Ma Sili hurriedly said: "I am humble enough to write this to you, sir." Then he took up his pen and wrote a seven-character poem with twenty-four rhymes.
Eunuch Gan took it in his hand and looked at it for a while, then he smiled: "Master Sun is a thoughtful person. If it weren't for the Za family, it would be difficult for others to guess." Neither Ma Sili nor Yin Zhuang were curious, and stood waiting nearby. Eunuch Gan took it out from his arms.
The official seal came and was placed on the case. The seal is a bronze turtle, with three feet touching the ground and one foot hanging in the air. Eunuch Gan pointed out, "This is an acrostic poem. The first four sentences of the first four sentences are linked together: the number of points around the seal."
, Duji Xuanzu. It means that starting from the ninth sentence, every four sentences are counted as a group, and one of the first characters of each group is used for the acrostic secret language."
Ma Sili asked: "Which one is that?"
Gong Gong said: "There are only four kinds of them, so just list them all."
Then I picked up a pen and divided every four sentences from the ninth sentence into paragraphs. The first words of the first sentence of each group were copied together, and I didn't know what the meaning was. The first words of the second sentence of each group were copied together, and it made no sense.
.Only three characters were copied from the first word of the third sentence, and all three of them laughed. These three characters are Tianlong Mountain. Looking further down, Xuanwu Guanxin Zhennu Guan. Three of you, look at me, let me look at you
You, laughed in unison.
Since Eunuch Gan and Yin Zhuang had not slept a wink all night last night, they had to rest anyway, so they decided to set off tomorrow morning. Ma Sili went back to the shop to do business for the time being, and he will accompany him tomorrow morning.
It's strange to say that because Mr. Sun was assassinated, Eunuch Gan temporarily asked the King of Jin to send him to take charge of the Imperial City Department. Since he put on this official hat, he hasn't had a good night's sleep. But he slept very peacefully that night.
The next day, I woke up after three strokes. Yinzhuang was already setting up a house outside. Eunuch Gan was so worried that he lay down for a while and fell asleep again. It was almost noon when he woke up again.
, woke up hungry. Even so, he still didn't want to move. Unconsciously, he thought: No wonder some people like to sleep in, it is really comfortable. Then he heard a knock on the door outside, and his subordinates called him to get up. Eunuch Gan took care of himself for a while.
Just got up.
Ma Sili had already arrived and spent the whole morning helping Yin Zhuang and his colleagues clean up the new Yamen. In the afternoon, Eunuch Gan led Yin Zhuang and Ma Sili to Tianlong Mountain.
Tianlong Mountain is located in the west of Taiyuan City, home to Dufo Temple. Even the name of the mountain comes from the Tianlong Temple on the mountain. It is difficult to find out about the Taoist temple. After asking many people, I learned from an old monk that it is on the south peak.
Ma Sili was a businessman with strong legs; not to mention Yinzhuang, he was covered in tendons; only Eunuch Gan was a young eunuch who had to climb the mountain very hard. Ma Sili was brave and said with a smile: "Sir,
Let Mr. Yin Xiaoguan carry you on his back. Your leg strength is really slowing down your time."
Eunuch Gan thought for a while and actually agreed! He smiled and said, "You two have seen how embarrassed you are. I don't like to show off my face." So he asked Zhen to let Yin Zhuang carry him.
Yin Zhuang was carrying a man who was more than seven feet tall on his back. He was walking on the mountain road as if he were walking on flat ground, but he left Ma Sili behind. Ma Sili panted and shouted: "Young man, I am old, please take it easy!"
"Eunuch Gan laughed heartily.
When the three of them found Xuanwu Temple, they couldn't help but be secretly surprised. The temple was not small. Looking through the wall, they could see the majestic halls and pavilions inside. The trees, mountains and rocks all had a lush and moist air. It was not like a common people's residence. They straightened their clothes.
Men's front buckle.
Not long after, a Taoist boy came out and opened the door, asking who was visiting. Yin Zhuang said, "Excuse me, Fairy Boy. I have come from Guanmao Lane in Taiyuan to see Xin Zhen Nu Guan."
The Taoist boy muttered: "Why did a man come to look for her again?" He turned around and went in.
After a while, the Taoist boy came back and said, "Come with Pindao." Yin Zhuang thanked him and the three of them followed him inside.
I saw the Taoist boy leading them around the main hall from the east corridor, and there was a bluestone path with green pine trees on both sides. They crossed a bluestone bridge, and there were red and white flowers blooming in the pool under the bridge.
Lotus flowers, carps and turtles swimming among them are really interesting. There is a courtyard in front, and the door of the courtyard is ajar. The Taoist boy opened the door directly, and he saw two ginkgo trees standing in the courtyard.
Entering the courtyard, I saw two people sitting next to a stone chessboard playing chess. One of them, a Taoist nun, was wearing a duck-egg green Taoist robe. She had bright eyes and white teeth, and a face like a flower. She was about thirty years old, and she was a rare beauty in the world.
Sitting across from him was a man in his forties, wearing pine-colored arrow sleeves. He was twisting the chess pieces in his hands and wondering where to put them.
Ma Sili paid it back; Eunuch Gan and Yin Zhuang took a breath at the same time - this man was Lin Dongyang, the general of the auxiliary country.
