Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 348 Do you know that the sky is high and the earth is thick?
Chapter 50 Do you know that the sky is high and the earth is thick?
If it is a general "Book of Changes" problem, I am afraid it is really difficult for Yuan Tiangang.However, there is a saying in China, which is called not knowing the height of the sky and the depth of the earth. Of course, there is a more subtle way of saying, how high is the sky and how thick is the earth?The underlying meaning is the same, it is asking Yuan Tiangang if he knows the sky is high and the earth is thick.

Where is this door-to-door asking for advice? It is simply a door-to-door provocation.If it was just asking for advice, Xiao Daotong still needed to treat him politely. After all, Li Jiancheng's face still needed to be taken into account.

However, Chen Ying came here to provoke, that is the enemy, there is nothing to be polite about.

After Daotong came to the door, Li Jiancheng sighed and said: "Chen Qing, you are being reckless. When Master Yuan comes out, you can apologize to him!"

"Your Highness can't wait!" Chen Yingdao: "Your Highness really thinks that I have nothing to do with right and wrong, and bring shame upon myself?"

Although Li Jiancheng didn't say it clearly, the meaning was very obvious.

Although Chen Ying didn't believe in Yuan Tiangang's Taoism and Physiognomy, Yuan Tiangang had real talents and knowledge, and he had great influence. Even if he was alone, he was enough to influence the court's movements.There is really no way to explain this superstition. Even in the later generations with advanced science, Wang Lin, the magic stick, is still famous and worth hundreds of millions.

But this was the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, and Yuan Tiangang's influence was almost at the level of nuclear weapons. If such a person is to be recruited, it can play a very important role.Even if Wu Zetian had mastered the actual power in the country later, she still needed Yuan Tiangang to build momentum for her.Of course, there is no way to buy such a character with money.

The only way to get hold of him is to force him to cooperate.

Li Jiancheng is very knowledgeable, he has also studied "Yi", although Li Jiancheng dare not say that his research on "Yi" can surpass Yuan Tiangang, but he also knows that Chen Ying's so-called problem has no explanation at all, but is more like nonsense. .

Chen Ying patiently explained to Li Jiancheng: "Dare to ask His Royal Highness, what answer do you want to get from Master Yuan? Is it for peace of mind?"

Li Jiancheng looked at Chen Ying suspiciously and said, "How do you know..."

Chen Ying said with a smile: "Master Yuan has never been arrogant. Your Highness the Crown Prince, you know why he came to ask His Highness the Crown Prince to see him, and avoided seeing him?"

Li Jiancheng said noncommittally: "Maybe he is really retreating!"

"I smell the smell of conspiracy!" Chen Yingdao: "Master Yuan is taking care of him, he is taking advantage of His Royal Highness's reputation..."

Li Jiancheng nodded slightly, thoughtfully. If Chen Ying didn't mention it, Li Jiancheng would not have thought of this, but when Chen Ying mentioned it, Li Jiancheng suddenly realized.He was a little bit dumbfounded, originally thought Yuan Tiangang was an outsider, never thought that he also had the heart of utilitarianism.Originally, Li Jiancheng thought that Yuan Tiangang was famous for his proficiency in the "Book of Changes", which was more than enough to destroy Chen Ying. Now Li Jiancheng found out that Yuan Tiangang was also a layman, and immediately lost interest in seeing Yuan Tiangang.

Just when Li Jiancheng was about to return, the Taoist boy opened the mountain gate again, bowed to Li Jiancheng and Chen Ying, and said, "Master, I will meet you in the courtyard."

Li Jiancheng was a little surprised when he heard this.Chen Ying's question is actually not a question at all, it's just a mess. You don't need to ask Yuan Tiangang and you don't know how high the sky is. At least no one can answer this question.However, Yuan Tiangang actually opened the middle door wide and met each other in the middle court. This is the preparation for the battle of Chen Ying.

Under the leadership of the little Taoist boy, Li Jiancheng walked in with his head held high, followed by Chen Ying and Li Jiancheng, who were half shoulders apart.

At this time, on both sides of the corridor in front of the main entrance, dozens of Taoist priests dressed in Taoist robes and holding swords stared at each other.Chen Ying couldn't help laughing. Could it be that Yuan Tiangang still wanted to use these Taoist priests to put pressure on him?Although Chen Ying is not considered to be on the battlefield of hundreds of battles, he is still able to deal with such a small scene with ease.

The armored guards leading the prison gate of the East Palace saw Yuan Tiangang lined up in this formation, and immediately burst into flames.How dare you give the crown prince a blow, how can you bear it?

These prison gate guards strode neatly and kicked their boots loudly.With the bursts of fighting, the leaves of the armor blades rattled, and the expressions of these Taoist priests suddenly changed.

The gate rate of the Eastern Palace is equivalent to that of the warriors standing in the imperial court. Regardless of whether they can fight or not, there are strict requirements on their height. Everyone is a big man in Guanzhong with a height of eight feet. What they are best at is precisely bluffing people.

Chen Ying followed Xiao Daotong to the bright hall in the atrium. Yuan Tiangang sat on the main seat in the middle of the bright hall, wearing Taoist robes.There is not only one person in the Ming Hall, but twelve little Taoist boys kneel and sit on the left and right sides of the Ming Hall. In the left and right sides of the Ming Hall, there are two copper-cast crane-shaped incense burners, and sandalwood incense is wafting.Chen Ying secretly looked at Yuan Tiangang, only to see that Yuan Tiangang had slender eyebrows and bright eyes, and his gray beard was well groomed.The most amazing thing is Yuan Tiangang's hair. His hair is slightly gray, and so is his beard, which is white on the outside and black on the inside. He seems to be wearing a gray hat on his head.

When Yuan Tiangang met Li Jiancheng, he didn't stand up to salute. He closed his eyes and clapped his hands. Although the expression was not severe, it was very solemn, firm but not fierce, and not angry.

Those little Taoist boys looked at Li Jiancheng and Chen Ying who walked in, with different expressions, but many of them had bright eyes.Datang is not only an era of fighting for fathers, but also an era of looking at faces.If you have good facial features and a personable demeanor, your official luck will be prosperous, and vice versa.Take Xu Jingzong, for example, because of his poor looks, he was displaced and had a rough half of his life.

Although Li Jiancheng has passed his thirties, he has a long beard and elegant demeanor, in terms of appearance, Li Jiancheng is actually the most handsome of the three Li brothers, much better than Li Shimin.Of course, there is no most handsome, only more handsome. Compared with Chen Ying, Li Jiancheng is still far behind.

Yuan Tiangang can still sit firmly in the center now, neither happy nor angry, as if he is indifferent.Chen Ying secretly nodded at Yuan Tiangang's calmness.In terms of pretentiousness, Yuan Tiangang is indeed a master of pretentiousness.

Chen Ying saw that there were two empty seats in the middle, and gave up the lower left seat to Li Jiancheng, and retreated to the lower right seat.

For a moment, countless eyes fell on Chen Ying.However, most of them were watching the show, and most of them were gloating, but Chen Ying was more calm and unmoved.

Yuan Tiangang is very calm now, because he has the confidence to be calm, and because Chen Ying can openly admit that he doesn't know about Chen Ying's question, but he can casually throw it to Chen Ying to see if Chen Ying can answer it. .

Yuan Tiangang opened his eyes first, and nodded slightly at Li Jiancheng.Then he stared at Chen Yingdao with sharp eyes: "The poor don't know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is, but Chen Lang would rather know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is?"

Chen Yingdao: "Of course I know!"

Yuan Tiangang smiled slightly, Chen Ying fell into the urn.In ancient China, there was a saying of Jiuchongtian, but this Jiuchongtian does not refer to the Jiuchongtian wrapped in layers, but refers to different directions.For example, "Lu Shi Chunqiu" says that there are nine fields in the sky, the center is called Juntian, the east is called Cangtian, and the northeast is called Biantian.The north is called Xuantian, the northwest is called Youtian, the west is called Haotian, the southwest is called Zhutian, the south is called Yantian, and the southeast is called Yangtian.The "Huainanzi" of the former Han Dynasty also said that the center is Juntian, the east is Cangtian, the northeast sky, the north Xuantian, the northwest Youtian, the west sky, the southwest Zhutian, the south Yantian, and the southeast Yangtian.In line with the saying that the sky is round and the earth is round, there is no difference in the distance between the sky and the earth, and it can even be said that there is no definite data.Even if it is the same sky, it depends on where you are, and the distance is naturally different in different positions.

If Chen Ying is smart, he should admit that he doesn't know either.However, Chen Ying pretends to be smart, so it's not scary.

Yuan Tiangang said: "Do you know how high the sky is? How thick is the earth?"
