Zhang Juzheng made such a clear-cut evaluation of the big men in the cabinet. This was also a popular trend among young Jinshi. Therefore, Zhao Ran was not surprised and asked: "How can you be so disdainful?"
"Flattery, no sense of integrity! Yan Gebu is focused on pleasing the emperor and is only playing power. As far as the posthumous title of King Xing is concerned, regardless of whether it is right or not, he took the initiative for this matter and focused on whether he could be favored.
, Now he advocates whatever he likes, and he is not at all concerned with right and wrong. In addition, back then, he was promoted step by step because of the talent of Mr. Xia Ge. Now, as soon as he joins the cabinet, he always goes against Mr. Xia Ge.
It’s really chilling. What’s even more disdainful is that because of the beauty of a good woman, he ordered people to build a nunnery, collect virgins from all over the place, and put them into the nunnery to practice the art of bewitching in the house. He is simply a jester!”
"The beauty of a good woman today?"
"Exactly, Taoist Master, did you know that there is a nunnery in the Shangsan Palace that is dedicated to this matter?"
"Oh? If it is true, it should be extremely secretive, right? How did you know about it?"
"Many people in the court are aware of this matter."
"Have you seen it with your own eyes? Or do you have other evidence?"
"this……"
"Some things, don't believe in rumors easily. If you want to make your own judgment, you have to see it with your own eyes, walk around it, and ask it yourself. Especially for politicians, the policies they implement can easily affect millions of people.
You must be cautious about the livelihood and blessings of your surname. If your uncle holds a high position in the future, you must be even more cautious. As the saying goes, governing a big country is like cooking small dishes, and you must pay attention to the details."
Zhang Juzheng was thoughtful and bowed to receive the instruction: "Thank you so much, Taoist Master, for your guidance."
Zhao Ran smiled and was about to serve the tea when Zhang Juzheng came up to him again and said expectantly: "Today I will observe the Taoist Master's teachings. The master's teachings are very subtle. Those who speak will surely hit the target. I am bold and want to ask the Taoist Priest to have a look..."
Zhao Ran looked at Zhang Juzheng and said slowly: "You have longan and black eyes, full and straight mountain roots, and abundant orchids. This is the appearance of a prime minister."
"Dragon eye" refers to the big eye, and the position from the nose ridge to the position between the two eyes is the "mountain root". The left and right sides of the nose are collectively called "Lanting". According to physiognomy, those with this face are indicative of valuable achievements.
Among the princes, there are no three official positions, and they are located at the side of the king. Zhang Juzheng has all three, and there is no other explanation except that he is the governor.
Of course, this is not what Zhao Ran looks at. The eyes, nose, and eyebrows are all there. How to judge whether the conditions are met? The difference is very subtle. Without decades of study, the bare-back formula will definitely be confused. Zhao Ran is not
I haven't studied this method thoroughly, so I can't see it either. But based on the results and inferring the facial features, I can vaguely see some methods, and I feel that this is indeed the case.
Zhang Juzheng was greatly shocked and looked at Zhao Ran blankly, speechless for a moment.
Zhao Ran felt a little regretful, fearing that such words would have bad effects, so he made up for it: "Uncle, please remember to respond calmly when encountering difficulties, just like a phoenix on a branch. It doesn't ask for its constant singing, but its singing is amazing."
.”
Zhang Juzheng nodded subconsciously and was "served tea to see off" by Zhao Ran.
Zhao Ran didn't have time to pay attention to the excitement in Zhang Juzheng's heart. He closed the door and took out the note Cheng Ansai gave him when he was looking through the auction catalog at the Jinbo Club. He opened it and read: "The night before,
Someone broke into the club at night, suspected to be a Taoist monk, and has been captured by Golden Needle Hall. I asked Long Yang and Wu Lan, but they didn't know. We are trying to find out."
Zhao Ran sighed and wondered to himself, who is this? His first reaction was to think of the past when he was "proven" by that madman Duanmu Chunming, and wondered if it was another one who came to prove the truth? But after thinking about it, he thought again
I think it is unlikely. How many ninth-level talismans or magic weapons of the same power can be squandered in the world? If there really were so many, Buddhism would have been destroyed long ago.
If you are not here to prove the truth, then what is the meaning of breaking into the Jinbo Club at night? It is impossible to speculate on this for the time being. There are too many clues to figure it out at all.
Judging from the cultivation level, it should not be high. In order to protect Cheng An, Long Yang and Wu Lan have at least one of them keeping an eye on Cheng An at all times. Since these two great monks are not clear yet, it means that the monk who broke into the Jinbo Club at night is probably
He didn't even break through the gate, but was captured by the monks from Golden Needle Hall who were watching outside. They captured it successfully without causing any trouble.
This is the only thing that can be preliminarily judged, and there is nothing more. Cheng An must not be clear about it either, otherwise it will definitely be mentioned in the note.
Zhao Ran then thought of the four brothers who were sent to Xingqing with him a few years ago. Could he be one of them? When he thought of this, he immediately flew the Oriental Ritual.
After a while, Dongfang Li replied: "I don't know about this matter. Except for Xia Yi, Er and San have been recalled. I just asked the newly arrived Xia people, he is not worried. If he has anything, he will come to you. If there is a chance, you
You can try to inquire for rescue, otherwise you don’t have to worry about it, just take care of yourself.”
Zhao Ran looked at it again and Fei Fu confirmed: "Where is Xia Si?"
Dongfang Li replied: "Didn't I mention it to you? He died the year before last. He broke into the mansion at night to steal money and was killed by a Buddhist monk."
This... Zhao Ran was very speechless. The Xia Kingdom was not as peaceful and orderly as the Ming Dynasty. Many wealthy and powerful people had paid huge sums of money to worship the monks. When Duanmu Chunming wanted to use himself to prove himself, he was worshiped by the three major Yeli families.
The one who stopped him, this Xia Si, actually went to steal money from other people's houses, and it was not surprising that he was killed. But what the hell is stealing money? How miserable is it?
Since he was not a fellow member of Sanqing Pavilion, the urgency of rescue was not so strong, so Zhao Ran went to bed. Every year, some Taoist monks or Ming monks were lost and trapped in Xixia, so naturally it was impossible to save every one of them.
After dawn, Cheng An and Long Yang waited together at the gate of the official post office to pick up Zhao Ran. According to the agreement with Cheng An at the Jinbo Club, Zhao Ran was going to visit Tianma Pharmaceutical's pharmaceutical workshop outside the city to decide "whether to use Tianma Pharmaceutical as
The elixirs refined by the industry are included in the procurement plan."
Zhao Ran was going out of the city, so Mingjue and Xingzhen must accompany him. He took Zhang Juzheng with him and went straight to Cuiming Villa.
Cuiming Villa is not far from the city. It arrived shortly after leaving the west gate. This villa, including the nearby Baisheng Villa on Baisheng Mountain, was built under the leadership of Zhao Ran. Even the name of the mountain was given by him.
Listening to Long Yang's introduction on the road with great interest, I couldn't help but feel amused.
But Zhao Ran really wanted to take a look. When he left Xixia, Cuiming Villa and Baisheng Villa were only one-third built. It was just like when I wanted to see my son I had never met, with a feeling in my heart.
With a bit of joy and apprehension.
It has been three years since Cuiming Villa was built, and it is no longer the chaotic appearance of the original large construction site. Starting from the foot of the mountain, there are trees shading, birds chirping, and a picture of lush green mountains.
