Chapter 355: National Beauty and Heavenly Fragrance (1)
Shao Yong's house is located on the bank of the Luo River. It is no different from the houses of ordinary people around it. It is not a deep mansion. From the outside, the only difference is the green brick path under the feet, and patches of green bamboo planted inside and outside the house.
In the courtyard, amid green bamboos, there is a small pavilion. There is a solitary lamp like a bean in the pavilion, a table, two chairs and a charcoal stove. There is a full set of tea sets on the table, a copper kettle is boiling water on the stove, and two people are sitting opposite each other on the chairs.
people.
One is Chen Ke, who is dressed in an ordinary scholar's attire, and the other is a hale and hearty middle-aged man in a ge robe and a square scarf, none other than Master Shao Yong, whom he had met once in Yueyang Tower.
"Farewell to Yueyang. It's been ten years since we last met. It's been a long time, sir." Chen Ke said respectfully.
"Haha," Shao Yong said with a warm smile: "The young boy ten years ago is now the world-famous Bachelor Chen. I am really gratified."
"In front of Mr. Wang, how dare I think of myself as a bachelor?" Chen Ke said respectfully: "These years, I have been studying Mr. Xiantian's knowledge very hard, but my qualifications are stupid and I have never been able to get a glimpse of the true meaning."
"Zhong Fang is so humble. In the past year, Shao has done nothing else but read your "Annotations on Great Learning Chapters" and "Annotations on Zhongyong Chapters"." Shao Yong said with a smile: "Although the Neo-Confucianism you created is acquired.
The science of this is superior to its strict system, refinement and practicality. It is all-encompassing and thoughtful, and it is the closest to the study of saints." He laughed loudly and said, "Zhang Hengqu came over a few days ago, and I told him that Neo-Confucianism is
He also believed that many scholars came out to correct the changes."
"Sir, that's ridiculous." Chen Ke smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Hengqu is the same age as the boy, so naturally he wants to give me some face. I can't take it seriously."
"Haha, don't be nervous." Shao Yong suppressed his smile and said, "I'm inviting you here this time, but it's not a long or short one." He poured tea for Chen Ke and said, "Do you still have the copper coins I gave you?"
"In addition to today's one, there are three more." Chen Ke took out three copper coins from his sleeve and said with a smile: "My husband gave me these coins back then, which helped me a lot. Thank you again, sir."
"It's a small effort, but it doesn't matter." Shao Yong stretched out his hand and said: "With your current status, of course you don't need this copper coin. Give it back to me."
Chen Ke smiled and said, "I still want to keep it as a souvenir."
"Hahaha..." Shao Yong was amused. He took one from his hand and put it in his sleeve. Then he suppressed his smile and said, "Do you still remember what I said to you on the Yueyang Tower?"
"Well, sir, he said a lot." Chen Ke pretended to be confused.
"I said at that time that sooner or later I would have to make a fortune for you!" Shao Yong narrowed his slender eyes and stared at Chen Ke, just like ten years ago, he said word by word: "Because you are a person who messes with numbers.
!”
"..." Chen Ke's heart thumped. What he did was not to change the fate of the Song Dynasty. Holding down the waves in his heart, he forced a smile and said: "The way of heaven is constant. If you don't do it for Yao, don't do it for Jie."
Death, no one can mess with the number of days."
"The number of days is only one aspect, it also depends on personnel." Shao Yong shook his head and said firmly: "You must let me tell your fortune!"
"How can you force people to tell fortunes?" Chen Ke said with a bitter smile.
"Don't be ungrateful. How many dignitaries have asked me to tell fortunes?" Shao Yong smiled coldly and said, "I'll tell you the truth. More than ten years ago, the king of Runan County asked me to tell fortunes for his sons. One of them
The eight characters are Renshen, Renyin, Bingwu, and Jiaxu - when compared to numbers, it is two, four, one and two - combined into nine, separated into even, extremely noble and indescribable!"
"But thirteen?" Chen Ke asked.
"Not bad." Shao Yong nodded.
"It seems that God's will is like this..." Chen Ke sighed softly: "I should have made plans early."
"Not exactly." Shao Yong shook his head and said, "I just said it. The number of days is only one aspect. Youdao is one destiny, two luck, three feng shui, four accumulation of merits and five readings. Six seven phases, eight worship gods, nine noble friends and ten health maintenance. Eleven is choosing a career and a spouse, and twelve is seeking good luck and avoiding bad luck. Innate destiny is important, but if you have bad luck, meet unkind people, fail to cultivate your inner virtues, and have an impure mind, you will still be a mirror image in the end. For example, Han Guangwu’s brother Liu Yan It was also a very precious destiny, so he thought it was his destiny, took no precautions, and finally died a violent death, but it was an advantage to his younger brother."
After a pause, Shao Yong said again: "What's more, his fate is not very good. The fire at noon is close to the Ren, and all the energy is damaged. The pattern is successful but there is failure. Even if you become the emperor, you will not be able to escape everything. Holy longevity Buya…”
"What do you mean, sir?" Chen Ke had a solemn look on his face. Although he had never been too interested in these mysterious and mysterious things, the other party was the most skilled fortune teller in the Song Dynasty and even in the millennium, so he couldn't help but ignore it.
"What I mean is that a person's destiny is determined by many factors. Among them, birth date, name, Feng Shui, worshiping gods, self-cultivation, and making friends with noble people are all very important. It does not mean that whoever has good horoscopes will definitely succeed. ." Shao Yong said calmly.
Chen Ke's heart moved. He understood what the other party meant. He smiled and said, "In that case, why do you have to tell me my fortune?"
"If everyone in the world were like you, they would starve to death." Shao Yong laughed and said, "Tell me your horoscope!"
The other party had already talked about this, so Chen Ke could only reluctantly tell him his horoscope.
"The eight characters are pretty average." Shao Yong counted with his fingers and said, "You remember correctly, right?"
Chen Ke couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
"How can it be possible to win the top prize with such a broken horoscope?" Shao Yong shook his head and said, "It's unbelievable, it's unbelievable."
"Didn't Sir say that the horoscope is only one aspect?" Chen Ke said angrily.
"That's right." Shao Yong said solemnly: "Your innate destiny is extremely ordinary, but judging from your appearance, you can be crowned king..."
Chen Ke said calmly: "I don't know if you should be crowned king during your lifetime or after death?"
"Before your death." Shao Yong said calmly: "So I say, you are a person who messes with destiny."
"Become a king during your lifetime?" Chen Ke laughed and said, "Doesn't that mean that I can recover the sixteen states of Yanyun?" The kings of the Song Dynasty were not as powerful as those of the Han Dynasty. They were just honorary titles. They were used after the death of some important officials. Later, it is possible to be posthumously named king, but except for Chai Zongxun and Qian Chu, there are no people who were named kings with different surnames during their lifetime.
One of the two is the leader of the Later Zhou Dynasty, and the other is the king of Wu and Yue, so it means that there is no king with a different surname so far. However, the ancestor of the Emperor Song Dynasty said, "The one who restores the sixteen states of Yanyun will be the king." This is what the Zhao family did. Recovering the highest reward offered by You Yan, that's why Chen Ke said this.
"Maybe there will be excessive rewards in the future." Shao Yong chuckled.
"Uh..." Chen Ke was speechless at first. But then he thought about it, even if he rewards excessively, the title of king is the highest. Today's official family is not long-lived, and he will definitely not be able to be crowned king in this dynasty. If Zhao Zongshi does it in the future The emperor himself has no hope, so he can only... Thinking of this, he sighed softly and said: "Are those who mess with destiny good or bad?"
"Haha." Shao Yong stood up slowly, walked to the pavilion, and changed the topic: "Looking from here, you can see a bridge."
Chen Ke stood up and saw a bridge spanning the north and south of the Luoshui River, like a crouching dragon. At this time, the bright moon was hanging high, and the moonlight was shining on the Luoshui River. The shadow of the bridge on the river was hazy and blurred, making people intoxicated. He said softly: "
Mr. Wang has a poem that says, 'Look at the flowers in Luocheng in spring, and enjoy the moon in Tianjin in summer.' Could this be the Tianjin Bridge?"
"Yes." Shao Yong nodded and said, "I often go for a walk on the Tianjin Bridge with my friends, looking at the moon and listening to the waves, and I am very contented."
"Sir, you are so elegant."
"One day not long ago." Shao Yong said with a solemn face: "A few of my close friends and I went to watch the moon on the Tianjin Bridge again. Just when I was forgetful, suddenly a dark wind blew up. Looking up at the sky, I saw black clouds covering the moon. After a while, the clouds
The cuckoo's cry is heard." He looked at Chen Ke and said, "Have you heard the cuckoo's cry?"
"I heard it in the south." Chen Ke nodded and said, "This cuckoo bird doesn't sing as beautifully as a lark. The so-called 'cuckoo cries blood' means that the cuckoo sings with a miserable sound and often makes blood drip from its mouth."
"Yeah, what I heard that day was really heartbreaking and miserable. Even the water in the Naluo River seemed to be whimpering." Shao Yong frowned and said worriedly: "As you said, Du Juan
It's a bird from the south. It didn't exist in Luoyang in the past, but now it flies north to Luoyang. This is a sign that the world will be in chaos!"
"What's the explanation?" Chen Ke's heart twitched and he asked in a low voice.
"The Spring and Autumn Annals say, 'The six-beneficial birds retreat, and the robins come to their nests, and the Qi moves them.' It means that birds move in advance of the weather, and now the cuckoo flies to the north, indicating that the earth's Qi will move from south to north.
"Shao Yong said slowly: "This is a sign that the southerners are about to gain power. If you don't believe it, look, within a few years, there will be someone from the south who will be the prime minister!"
This ordinary sentence was as shocking as it was during the Song Dynasty. Because Song Taizu had an ancestral family motto that "Southerners are not allowed to be prime ministers." Although it has never been made public, during the hundred years since the founding of the country, countless southerners
, being blocked from the phase, this lesson is self-evident.
The only exception was Wang Qinruo of the Zhenzong dynasty. At that time, the prime minister Wang Dan simply said: "I see that in my ancestral dynasty there has never been a southerner in charge of the country. Although it was said in ancient times that there is no way to establish virtuous people, it is necessary to have virtuous men. As prime minister, I do not
Dare to suppress others, this is also a public discussion.' This unspoken rule is openly made public.
Although Wang Qinruo later became prime minister with the support of Zhenzong, he was one of the few treacherous ministers in the Song Dynasty for a hundred years, so making an exception not only did not break the taboo, but made the northern scholar-officials even more resistant to the southerners.
"In less than three to five years, not only will the prime minister be a southerner, but important positions in the court will also be occupied by southerners." Shao Yong said with a worried look on his face: "This is the result of the earth's energy flowing from south to north."
"If the earth's energy moves from south to north, will the world be in chaos?" Chen Ke asked.
"Based on past experience, the world will be governed by the earth's energy from north to south, and the earth's energy will be chaotic from south to north." Shao Yong nodded and said: "Now the earth's energy in the south is at its peak. If we don't remedy it, the world will be in chaos."
