blue shirt oath

Chapter 193

Birds are singing in the quiet bamboo forest, surrounded by a fence surrounded by autumn chrysanthemums. At this time, chrysanthemums are blooming, and the autumn scenery is pleasant.

Du and Song, who came back from Jiedu Mansion, looked solemn and didn't want to enjoy the scenery.

When Wang Qinruo arrived in the capital, although he had not resumed the position of prime minister, he was the same as Ding Wei as a political adviser.

Shen Zhizhengshi is actually the deputy prime minister, the candidate for the prime minister.

Today's prime minister, Wang Dan, is over sixty years old, and he has been dismissed from the position of prime minister by the officials many times because of his health.

Calling Wang Qinruo into the capital now may have the intention of making Wang Qinruo the prime minister.

Since the officials have already prepared to such a point, it can be seen that the prince's physical condition is indeed not good.

Otherwise, even if the officials were reluctant to part with Wang Qinruo, they would not be in such a hurry to call him to Beijing.

The two walked for a while in silence, Du Qingshan suddenly said: "If you want to bring down Wang Qinruo, there is only one way."

"What way?"

"Go to Beijing and become the center of power."

It is only convenient to act when one reaches the center of power and has power in one's hand.

They are now far away from the court, just like ants under Wang Qinruo's feet, he can grind them as he wants.

The teacher has not been in the capital for more than ten years, and the former relationship between the monarch and his subjects has almost worn away. Even if he has made great military exploits in the past, even if the people love him, but these will not hurt Wang Qinruo in the slightest.

On the contrary, they were powerless to fight back against Wang Qinruo's open provocation.

Du Qingshan frowned tightly, if his mentor can return to court...

How can the mentor return to the court?

Would the mentor be willing to return to the court?Du Qingshan was a little uncertain.

Since the alliance of Chanyuan, the teacher's reputation has spread all over the world. Although he has been demoted for so many years and only worked as a small local official in the vicinity of Kyoto, no one in the world knows who is a bandit, so even though he is an official at the grassroots level, his life is not easy. Had a good time.

If the benefactor is out of the way and has no heart to return to court, then everything is in vain.

"What are you thinking?" Song Guichen poked him suddenly, "It must be related to Mr. Kou, right?"

"I'm wondering if my mentor has the heart to return to the center of the court."

"Ah, you're thinking about this." Song Guichen didn't seem to expect him to think about such a question, "Kou Xiang has been away from the court for nearly 13 years. Even if he wants to return to the center, it's not easy without the official order?"

Du Qingshan smiled slightly: "It's not difficult. Since officials advocate Taoism, we will do what we like and seek it with Taoism. I'm just worried—"

"worry about what?"

"The imperial court has a small group of people, the human relationship is sinister, and the mentor is upright. Now only in Nanyang, there are people who are eyeing the mentor. They set up such a poisonous plan. If they enter the court in the future, it may be even more difficult to escape the disaster of the officialdom."

"I actually think that if you don't fight or grab, you can't avoid disasters, why don't you take the initiative, so that you have enough strength to fight against the enemy."

"What Xiaochen said makes sense."

"Besides, according to my observation, Kou Xiang has the intention of returning to Beijing." Song Guichen turned his head to look at Du Qingshan, "When he talked about my master, although there was admiration in his words, he didn't yearn for it. It's a pity. Wang Qinruo's poisoning, I don't think Prime Minister Kou will give up easily."

"Indeed."

Du Qingshan felt relieved, and after making up his mind, he decided to ask his teacher for his opinion in a few days.

A few days later, Du Qingshan and Kou Xiang's study spied all day long.

After coming out of the study, Du Qingshan went to Wollongong non-stop, and dragged out Yuan Sheng who was meditating in Liao Xianguan.

Yuan Sheng: "Oh, oh, if you have something to say, please say it, don't do it, don't do it."

"Please help me with something."

"What's the matter?" Yuan Sheng subconsciously asked, then took a few steps back, "Why should I help you?"

"Aren't you a master of Shangqingguan Zhang Tianshi? It's not difficult for your master to use some tricks at the ancestor worship ceremony on the Cold Clothes Festival in a few days' time?"

"Use some method? It depends on what method is used."

"Don't worry, it won't be murder and arson, and it won't be ridiculous words such as superstition in heavenly scriptures. It's just that he wants to lead the conversation to Nanyang when he pays homage that day, so that the officials will think of my mentor, Wu Shengjun Jiedushi."

"To tell you the truth, I left Shangqing Temple because I couldn't bear Zhang Tianshi's collusion with eunuch Zhou Huaizheng and others to engage in superstition and confuse the Holy Majesty. Now I want to go back and ask him to help with such small things. I, Yuan Sheng, will never agree."

Du Qingshan really didn't expect Yuan Sheng to be so magnanimous.

Glancing at Yuan Sheng for a few moments, he suddenly smiled, "It's because I didn't think carefully, and acting like this is really detrimental to my teacher's wisdom."

However, now they have no one in court, and the only thing they can take advantage of is the annual Cold Clothes Festival.

Due to official superstition, whether it is Shangyuan Festival, Zhongyuan Festival, or Xiayuan Festival, all festivals related to gods and ghosts are endowed with extremely high symbolic meaning and have great influence.

And the Cold Clothes Festival on the first day of October, also known as "Mingyin Festival" and "Ghost Head Day", is a festival for people to pay homage to their ancestors and give them cold clothes.

On this day, like the Hungry Ghost Festival, the Celestial Master will pray for the country and herald disasters. A word from the Celestial Master is more effective in the ears of officials than hundreds of words from civil and military officials.

Seeing that Du Qingshan was about to leave, Yuan Sheng stepped forward and said: "Actually, a man can bend and stretch, but it's not impossible to ask Zhang Tianshi to say a few words."

"What's the lesson?"

"I'm not going to hide it from you. Although Zhang Zhengsui is a generation of celestial masters, he has a hobby on the surface."

"How?"

"Master Zhang is lustful." Yuan Sheng said, "If there is a beautiful woman to offer, it will be a matter of course."

Du Qingshan was stunned for a moment.

This really did not occur to him.

Unexpectedly, a generation of celestial masters are actually lustful?

After reacting, Du Qingshan said: "Let me think about it."

"The Winter Clothes Festival is only a few days away, and it will take a day or two to get from here to Kaifeng, so you have to think about it as soon as possible."

There are quite a few beautiful women, but that Tianshi Zhang is already an octogenarian. If he wants to please Zhang Tianshi and present a woman with a beautiful life to him, wouldn't he just push the sheep into the tiger's mouth.

He walked back in a daze, and without checking for a while, the sky had already darkened.

Suddenly feeling someone behind him, he turned around and made a move to subdue the person who was following him, but it was Wu Hongzhu who was dressed in red.

Du Qingshan let go of her hand: "It's you? Why are you here?"

"Why, I can't come and see you?" Wu Hongzhu rubbed her arm that was sore from being scratched, "You haven't noticed that I've been following you for so long, what are you thinking?"

"Nothing to do with you."

"Do you want to send a beauty to Zhang Tianshi?"

"Are you eavesdropping on our conversation?" Du Qingshan's tone suddenly turned cold.

"What are you talking about eavesdropping, but you just happened to hear it."

Wu Hongzhu smiled and whispered.

"Unexpectedly, you, the dignified Mr. Du Fu, such a glorious person, would also do such a shady business?"

　I was shocked to receive a recommendation ticket with 86 votes.
