Xie Wan paid a farewell ceremony and entered the west hall of the Taiji Hall in Taicheng with the Sanqi Changshi concurrently writing scholar Lang Sunchuo and the attendant Gao Song. Zhang Ping and others chatted for a few words, but the emperor did not come out. Xie Wan asked Sun Chuo why he was not discussing matters in the east hall now. , and changed it to the West Hall?
Sun Chuo said: "Don't you know, Mr. Xie? The east hall was haunted four days ago, and the emperor will never go to the east hall again."
Xie Wandao: "I also heard about Lu Chou's killing of ghosts, but didn't he later say that Lu Chou was using a blind method to deceive the emperor, which is not credible?"
Sun Chuo said: "Despite what I said, the emperor never went to the East Hall from that day on. What can I do!"
Zhang Pingdao: "There are rumors that Lu Song can't drown when he dives, and he can't get hot when he walks through fire. It's a lie. Even his ability to exorcise ghosts is fake. Fortunately, this person's conspiracy was exposed early. Otherwise, this kind of monster will accompany the emperor and bring trouble to the government." ."
Xie Wan asked: "Since he is a monster, why not impose criminal laws to serve as a warning to others?"
Sun Chuo said: "King Langya tried to protect Lu Song, but Lu Song has left Beijing and returned to Xuzhou."
Gao Song, who had been sitting upright and silent, said at this time: "The emperor summoned two people that day, Chen Caozhi of Qiantang and Lu Song of Xuzhou. In just half an hour, the two men's morals were completely different. Although Chen Caozhi was Ge Zhichuan, The disciple, however, bluntly said that he had never studied alchemy and did not fall in love with the emperor because he liked the art of immortality. He was so noble and noble that people admired him. On the other hand, Lu Song pretended to be a ghost at the beginning in an attempt to scare the emperor. Then his deception was exposed and he was embarrassed. And jumping - even so, it is also a blessing to the country, because when a wise man is in the government, a traitor will jump far away."
Gao Song always liked to criticize other people's shortcomings, but it was rare to praise others like this. Xie Wan smiled and said: "Chen Cao is very talented, but he is not arrogant. Even the high minister praised him, which is rare."
Gao Song turned to him and said: "Gong Wan Shi, the government and the public are opposed to the proposal of Huan Da Sima to move the capital. Tomorrow I will send an edict to Gu Shi to persuade Huan Da Sima to stop it. Can Wan Shi Gong teach me?"
Xie Wanshi saw that this was true, and said: "Sima Huan wanted to intimidate the court with false claims, but it is not true. It is not easy to move the capital, but if you follow this, you will get nowhere."
Gao Song nodded in agreement, and then went to the Western Province with Xie Wan and Sun Chuo. They drafted the imperial edict together with Shangshu Pushe Wang Biaozhi. Sun Chuo wrote the imperial edict, and issued an edict on behalf of the emperor Huan Wen: "In the past, there was chaos and chaos, and suddenly it was involved in the Five Dynasties. The Rong and Di were violent and violent, and they continued to attack the country. They spoke fondly of the west and sighed with emotion. They knew that they wanted to command the three armies, clean up the filth, clean up the central area, and restore the old capital. If you are not a foreigner, you are against the country. Who can do this! The dispositions were entrusted with high calculations. Danhe and Luoqiu Ruins have a vast area of operations, and they have been diligent and diligent since the beginning."
Huan Wen's petition to move the capital to Luoyang was really to establish prestige. If the court was forced to agree to move the capital, then Huan Wen could openly lead his troops to Beijing, and all the power of the government would be in Wen's hands. Once he moved to Luoyang, there would be no natural danger from the Yangtze River, and he would have to directly fight with Qin King Fu Jian , Yan State's Murong resisted, how could Luoyang be saved without Huan Wen's soldiers and horses? Huan Wen could do everything on his own, just like Cao Cao did, and it would not be far away to replace the Sima family——
However, all the aristocratic families in Nandu strongly opposed the relocation of the capital. Huan Wen was too powerful to express his opposition, so he came up with this policy of refusing to welcome the capital. On the surface, he agreed to move the capital to Huan Wen, but required that Huan Wen must first manage the rivers, Luo, and the city. Only by pacifying the district can we return to the old capital. This leaves the problem to Huan Wen. Huan Wen wants to recover the Central Plains and run Heluo, and it will take ten or eight years.
The drafted edict was signed by Wang Biaozhi and Situ Sima Yu, the auxiliary minister, and then stamped with the national seal. Tomorrow he will leave from Gaosong to Gushu to issue the edict to Huan Wen.
Xie Wan's proposal has been praised by all the officials, and he is quite proud. He has not participated in the government for a long time, and today he feels like he is in the government.
Returning to Xie's house in Wuyi Lane, Xie Wan had his son Xie Shao, nephews Xie Lang, Xie Yan, and several other young nephews gathered in front of the hall. They talked about Huan Wen's move of the capital and how the nephews of the school should respond.
The strategy? Encourage your nephew to not be afraid of saying the wrong thing and speak freely——
This was the method Xie An used to educate his younger brothers and nephews when he was living in seclusion in Dongshan. He would often ask his children to make suggestions on difficult issues of the current situation, predict various countermeasures and results, and then corroborate them with the actual progress, so as to know the gains and losses. Over time,
The Xie family's children have developed a keen sense of world affairs without leaving home, and have a keen sense of the current situation——
Xie An is now the prefect of Wuxing, and the important task of educating his nephew has been shouldered by Xie Wan.
Xie Lang, Xie Yan, and Xie Shao all expressed their opposition to moving the capital, but they were at a loss as to how to deal with Huan Wen. They talked all over the place, none of which was in line with Xie Wan's wishes. They said, "If A'er were here, he wouldn't be so thoughtless." After thinking about it.
I thought, let the servant girl call Xie Daoyun.
Xie Daoyun was studying her handwritten "Thirteen Chapters on Game Theory", thinking about when she would have another round with Chen Caozhi. When her fourth uncle was summoned, she brought catkins with her and Yin Feng, the second maid, came to the front yard.
, seeing Xie Lang and everyone gathered together, he knew that his fourth uncle was testing them again, so he stepped forward to salute his fourth uncle Xie Wan, and stood with Xie Lang, waiting to ask questions.
In the past, every time Xie An summoned his nephew to take the school entrance examination, he would ask Xie Daoyun to participate. Xie Daoyun grew up competing with his brothers. Xie Daoyun's argumentative and competitive character was gradually formed in this way, and when Xie was young
Among her generation, she is unparalleled in her eloquence and insight, and she knows a lot about things. Even her younger brother Xie Xuan is slightly inferior to her, so Xie Daoyun's arrogance and unwillingness to be inferior to others are natural -
Xie Wan once again told Huan Wen about moving the capital and asked A Yuan what he could do to deal with it.
Huan Wen's proposal to move the capital had spread in Jiankang City. Xie Daoyun had already heard about it that day when he went with his fourth uncle to Situ's Mansion to attend Chen Cao's debate. Because of his habit, Xie Daoyun had already heard about it without waiting for his fourth uncle's inquiry.
After carefully considering various possible countermeasures between the imperial court and Huan Wen, he responded: "Huan Da Sima is bluffing, but he is really unable to move the capital."
Xie Wan's tail flicked and he asked slowly: "How can you see it?"
Xie Daoyun said: "General Lu of Yan is in a hurry to attack Luoyang. Dai Shi, the governor of Henan Province, retreated to Wancheng. Huan Da Sima Fang sent Yu Xi, and Deng Xia sent three thousand troops to rescue Luoyang. It is still unknown whether Luoyang can be saved, but it is proposed to move the capital. How can it be done?
It’s not a bluff!”
Xie Wanmu showed his approval, nodded, and asked: "In A Yuan's opinion, how should the court reply to Huan Wen?"
Xie Daoyun said: "In the third year of Shengping, Sima Huan moved from Jingzhou to the town of Gushu. Gushu was less than 300 miles away from Jiankang. The boatmen could go down the river and arrive in one day. The court was not without worries, so even though it knew that it would not be possible to move.
It is appropriate, and it is inconvenient to refute it. At this time, we must not follow it, but we must declare that the river and Luo must be cleared before the capital can be moved."
Xie Wan praised: "A Yuan's proposal coincides with the ministers in the court! Let me ask again, if Huan Wen can really restore the Central Plains and clear up Heluo, will he move the capital?"
Xie Daoyun frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said: "Huan Wen is unable to do anything. Jiangzuo is not peaceful, and the Northern Expedition is ineffective. Huan Wen is not willing to fight with the Fu family and the Murong family, so the proposal to move the capital must be abandoned."
Xie Wan thought for a long time and felt that his niece Xie Daoyun saw the current situation more clearly than he did, and few people could match her knowledge. He couldn't help but sigh: "A Yuan, wouldn't it be great if you were a man! My Xie family's Zhilan Yushu will shine in the world."
Xie Daoyun smiled, but thought in his heart: "My fourth uncle favors boys over girls. He always thinks that girls must be married to someone with a foreign surname."
Xie Wan added: "In current Jiankang discussions, Chen Caozhi and my family A'er are promoted together, and Wang Xianzhi and Gu Kaizhi are promoted together. These four people are collectively called the Four Beauties of Jiangzuo. A Yuan thinks that Chen Caozhi is compared with A'er.
, who is more outstanding?"
Xie Daoyun said: "My fourth uncle is the best at criticizing people. How dare my niece make such irrational comments?"
Xie Wan laughed loudly and said: "Chen Caozhi's reputation seems to be better than that of A'er. Even Gao Maoyan, the attendant, praised Chen Caozhi. A few days ago, Chen Caozhi went to Dong'an Temple to meet Zhigong, and he was even more praised.
Zhigong appreciated this, and this was witnessed by Shaogong Yi. Chen Caozhi also competed with Wang Xianzhi in calligraphy on the wall of Dong'an Temple. According to Shaogong Yi, Chen Caozhi's calligraphy on both hands was innovative, and Yingwu was even better than Wang Xianzhi. I will have time another day.
, I want to go to Dong'an Temple to see the big characters on the wall."
Xie Daoyun said hurriedly: "Uncle, please take your niece with you."
Xie Wandao: "Dongan Temple is far away and Waguan Temple is close. Let's go to Waguan Temple."
Xie Daoyun was stunned.
Xie Shao said: "Father, isn't this totally different?"
Xie Wan laughed and said: "Zhu Fatai, the elder of Waguan Temple, invited Chen Caozhi and Gu Kaizhi to see the murals and Buddha statues. If A Yuan wants to see them, he and your third aunt will go to Waguan Temple tomorrow to celebrate the occasion, and take a look at Chen Caozhi and Gu Kaizhi.
How do their painting skills compare to yours?"
Xie Daoyun was secretly happy and said: "Okay, my niece will accompany her third aunt tomorrow."
Xie Daoyun immediately went to see her third aunt Liu Dan and told her that her fourth uncle wanted her to go to Waguan Temple to observe the murals. Xie An's wife Liu Dan smiled and said: "Yuanzi, you can go alone and pretend to be your Zhu Yingtai."
Xie Daoyun looked slightly coy and said, "Why don't we just leave it like this? It's so beautiful."
Xie Daoyun said: "If I go alone, I have to dress as a man, otherwise it will be inconvenient. Is my aunt really not going?"
Mrs. Xie Liu Dan said: "Forget it, I will accompany you tomorrow, but you are not allowed to pretend to be a man."
Xie Daoyun responded with a smile: "Yes." He thought to himself: "I have never met Zizhong dressed as a woman, so I am a little embarrassed."
…
At the first quarter of the hour on February 26th, three bullock carts from Hengtang Lu Mansion drove out of the gate, accompanied by seven or eight maidservants. On the bullock carts were Mrs. Lu Zhang Wenwan and Miss Lu Lu Weirui. Because of the tiles,
The official temple is just outside Qingxi Gate, so Mrs. Lu is also a simple person.
Mrs. Lu had high hopes when she heard from Lu Qin that Taoist Master Lu of the Zhidu Mountain Taoist Hall prayed for his son, and everything came true. She had high expectations, but then she learned that Lu Song was a liar and had no Taoist skills, so she returned to Xuzhou in embarrassment.
This greatly disappointed Mrs. Lu. Now Mrs. Lu is worried about her infertility day and night. She secretly regrets that she didn't pay much attention to it in the early years. Now that she is thirty-five years old, she is afraid that it will be too late.
During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, epidemics were prevalent and life was short, so Mrs. Lu felt old at the age of thirty-five and deeply felt the sorrow of having no future. She had been in a bad mood these past few days and didn't want to move around, but she couldn't bear to care about Wei Rui, and
Seeing Chen Caozhi and Wei Rui's sweet look, she also felt that they would be happier. Besides, she and Wei Rui both liked painting, so it would be a great pleasure to see Chen Caozhi and Gu Kaizhi's murals of Buddha statues in person.
Arriving in front of Waguan Temple, Mrs. Lu and Lu Weirui got out of the car and entered the Buddhist temple. Seeing that the door of the Main Hall was closed, they knew that Chen Caozhi was painting inside, so they asked Banli to negotiate.
Banli explained to Tan Yi, the eldest disciple of Zhu Fa Tai, that she was a female family member of the Lu family and that she wanted to go to the Main Hall to worship the Buddha.
Tan Yiheshi said: "The female devotee of the Haojiao Lu Mansion learned that the Mahavira Hall is currently painting Buddha statues. It will not be open to believers until the eighth day of April, the Buddha's birthday. Please invite the female devotee to other Buddhist temples to celebrate."
Banli begged several times, but Tan Yi refused. Banli came back angrily and said to Mrs. Lu: "Madam, this monk from Waguan Temple is really snobbish. He must have acted like this because he saw that we didn't have any money for incense today!"
If you donate 50,000 or 100,000 yuan, I guarantee that the palace door will be opened!"
Mrs. Lu scolded: "Banli, don't say such disrespectful words in Buddhism!" She looked sideways at Lu Weirui and said with a smile: "I forgot to bring the incense and money today. What should I do? I can't get in!"
Lu Weirui pointed to the east wall of the temple and said, "Mother, look, Ran Sheng is over there."
Mrs. Lu turned around and saw Ran Sheng, who was carrying a huge body and was struggling with his hands, to lift a huge stone mortar. This rectangular stone mortar was carved from brown granite and weighed at least three to four hundred kilograms. Ran Sheng moved it up and left.
Two steps, he put it down with a "bang", the ground shook, and the bottom of the stone mortar sank slightly into the ground——
Ran Sheng spread his hands and said to a young monk next to him: "Brother Tan Er has lost, hurry up and wash the cattle cart, haha."
It turns out that Ran Sheng made a bet with Zhu Fatai's second disciple, Tan Er, that if Ran Sheng could move the big stone mortar, Tan Er would clean the bullock cart for Ran Sheng.
Short hoe called: "Xiao Sheng——"
Ran Sheng looked this way and strode over to greet Mrs. Lu and Lu Weirui.
The short hoe pointed at the closed high door of the main hall and said: "Xiao Sheng, is Chen Langjun painting in the hall? That monk won't let my wife and young lady in -"
When Ran Sheng saw that Tan Yi had left, he said to Tan Er, who had lost the bet and was preparing to wash the cattle cart: "Brother Tan Er, this lady is the elder of my young husband. She wants to go to the palace to watch my young husband paint.
Just make it easier."
Tan Er was still shocked by Ran Sheng's magical power, and He Shi said: "Please ask the female believer to enter the temple through the side door."
Ran Sheng said: "Mrs. Lu, Miss Lu, please come with me."
Mrs. Lu, Zhang Wenwan and Lu Weirui each brought two maids with Ran Sheng into the palace through the side door, while the others stayed outside the palace.
At this time, Mrs. Xie Liu Dan and Xie Daoyun came to Waguan Temple with several servants. Seeing that the doors of the Medicine Master Hall and the Peacock King Hall were wide open, but the main hall, the Main Hall, the Main Hall was closed, they asked to enter the main hall to worship.
Tan Er went to wash the cattle cart, but Tan Yi still responded with the same words as before.
Mrs. Xie Liu Dan shook her head and said: "This is unreasonable!" She said to Xie Daoyun: "A Yuan, come and persuade this monk to open the door."
Xie Daoyun shook her sleeves and stepped forward. Suddenly she realized that her behavior was inappropriate. She was now Xie Daoyun in a high bun and long skirt, not Zhu Yingtai in a turban and jacket. She took half a step back, stood beside her third aunt, and said:
"This senior fellow apprentice is wrong. Buddhism is so vast that we won't leave anyone behind. How can we be shut out?"
Tan Yihe said: "It's not that the young monk doesn't allow female devotees to enter the temple. It's just that my master is afraid of disturbing the two Tan Yue who are painting in the temple, so he has temporarily closed the door. Please forgive the female devotees."
Xie Daoyun asked: "Is it disturbing to pay homage to the Buddha?"
