Cultivation of immortals begins with the appearance of ancestors

Chapter 174 The Dragon and the Phoenix Bring Prosperity (4K)

After a while, Qi Yuhua came over with a small bowl of bamboo shoots and pork noodles. Although the portion was not large, the fresh and tender bamboo shoots on the noodles exuded a fresh fragrance. Zhang Jian had actually already had bigu, but he enjoyed the process very much.

I would rather taste such deliciousness.

Qi Yuhua is very good at cooking, he seems to have learned it specially, and can cook all kinds of delicacies with his own hands.

Everything in this breakfast is not repeated, except for the bamboo shoot noodles, there are Erxian noodles, Ruanyang noodles, noodles with meat, five-flavor porridge, seven-treasure porridge, and various lamb dishes, which made Zhang Jian say that he picked up the treasure.

At this time, Qi Yuhua also saw a few volumes of ancient scriptures before Zhang Jian's case, so he said as soon as he saw it.

"Husband, concubine Guan, you seem to like reading this kind of scriptures very much. These scriptures seem to be dull and negative. If you read too much, you will inevitably be affected..."

Qi Yuhua is very clear that these scriptures can easily affect a person's temperament.

She had heard of some shady means. Some big ladies in big families were worried that their sons' inheritance rights would be affected, and they would secretly make the family sons come into contact with these scriptures from an early age, making them deformed, and even gradually tending to become monks and hide from the world.

Zhang Jian laughed immediately when he heard the words.

"Ladies, don't worry, the beauty of flowers is by your side, how can you give up for your husband!"

As Zhang Jian stretched out his hands and took Qi Yuhua into his arms, many female envoys beside him immediately lowered their heads involuntarily, not daring to look around.

After the husband and wife laughed and quarreled, and after breakfast, Zhang Jian went to the Cultural and Sports Institute to 'check in' on time.

When Zhang Jian stepped into the office of the Institute of Culture and Sports, Zhang Jian noticed that Chen Xiuming and others had already arrived ahead of time and became busy.

I haven't seen each other for a month, but this 'good colleague' has lost a lot of weight on his face, and there is also a trace of fatigue and anxiety on his face, as if he is always preoccupied.

Zhang Jian didn't know why before, but after hearing Chen Xiuming chatting with several editors occasionally, he discovered the clue, and Zhang Jian was very happy about it.

After Zhang Jian entered the office, Lin Dong, a petty official at the side, hurriedly stepped forward to make Zhang Jian a cup of fragrant tea.

This little official is very good at observing words and expressions.

Zhang Jian took a sip slightly, and there was a smile on his face.

At this time, in the office, several editors no longer had the leisure and leisure of the past.

When Zhang Jian first arrived, although several editors entered the office, they would inevitably have to gossip about the "big things" in the court, and they would not enter the working state until halfway through the hour.

Now Zhang Jian is still a little unaccustomed to changing his previous style.

Not long after Zhang Jian stepped into the office, Huang Liangzhong ordered someone to summon him.

Huang Liangzhong told him that the court will be held tomorrow, but he is ready to perform the duty of compiling in the court tomorrow morning, and the court records will be required by the court.

As for the original Chen Xiuming, he had to devote all his energy to compiling the "Dagan Quanshu", and he couldn't "take care of it" for a while.

Zhang Jian naturally couldn't shirk this matter.

This is also the first time for him to participate in the morning court, and it feels fresh.

"This Zhang Xiuzhuan is 'very lucky'. He has been favored by the Huangzhang Academy so soon. It's really a prosperous official!"

"Who makes people 'hardworking' than you guys? Zhang Xiuzhuan even Xiu Mu is in the Institute of Culture and Sports! How can you not please people?"

Behind the scenes, many officials from the Institute of Culture and Sports were whispering.

Zhang Jian glanced at these officials, sneered, and said lightly: "Everyone, when it comes to hard work, we have to mention Chen Shixiong recently. Chen Shixiong is my role model. In order to complete the "Daganquanshu" for His Majesty as soon as possible , I’ve worked so hard, and I’ve forgotten to eat and sleep, which time in this month is not later than I’m leaving, I suggest that everyone should follow the example of Chen Shixiong, eat the king’s salary, and share the worries for the king, as it should be!”

Zhang Jianyan laughed at Yanyan.

Chen Xiuming next to him was a little dazed when he heard the words, until the corners of his mouth twitched when everyone looked at him with 'strange' eyes.

But still cheer up.

"Zhang Xiu has won the award. I have studied the books of sages and sages for so many years, enjoying the lumi and silver taels that the imperial court donates every year, but I have never done half a thing for the imperial court. I am really ashamed!"

His face was full of righteousness at this time.

This scene only made the editors of other culture and sports institutes look strange.

They knew who Chen Xiuming was, but it was as if he was a different person now.

Only the two new editors Wang Qingzhou and Peng Yuanshou were a little awed when they heard the words, and their eyes showed admiration.

The younger Peng Yuanshou was even more blushing, and couldn't help but applaud Chen Xiuming, a senior in the examination room.

The other editors who didn't make a sound knew it well, and kept silent.

Thanks to the dumb, they are determined to eat it.

On the second day, just before the fourth watch, Zhang Jian got up early to prepare.

It is actually a very hard work for the important officials inside and outside the court to go to the morning court. The time of the morning court is around five o'clock, which means that they have to get up at three or four in the morning.

After all, there is still a long time between the inner city and the imperial city.

You can't ride your horse and run wild.

The best way is to sit in a sedan chair, where you can take a short rest.

But Zhang Jian is not in the way. As a cultivator, he is full of energy at all times.

"Young lady, you just need to rest, you don't have to get up to serve!"

Walking off Luo's bed, Zhang Jian noticed that Mei Jiao Niang next to her had also woken up dimly, so he just signaled her to continue sleeping, don't worry about it.

The two maids in the side room next to her heard the movement but hurried out to serve her.

One called hot water to help Zhang Jian wash his hands, and the other wanted to help him get dressed, but Zhang Jian stopped him.

"Yu Yao, Qu Lian, you two don't have to work too hard, go and rest yourself!"

The two beautiful girls didn't dare to leave when they heard the words, they could only stand aside and obey orders.

During this period of time, they also gradually learned about some small living habits of the master in the house.

The lord does not need to be served much, and most of it is done by himself.

Zhang Jian looked at the two beautiful girls and smiled slightly.

The Tongfang maids of this era are actually harder than ordinary maids and envoys. Not only do they have to keep watch at night, but they also come forward to serve the mistress at any time when it is inconvenient, including warming the bed.

When the master and mother don't need it, they should also take turns, and they can't sleep too deeply!

Very strict rules.

It is harder than working from five to nine, unless one day you get out of your head and are promoted as an aunt.

At this time, Meijiao Niang on Luo's bed was indeed very sleepy, she muttered a few words and fell asleep in no time.

Zhang Lu was already waiting outside with a torch, but he was in high spirits, with a smile on his face.

"My lord, shall we sit in a sedan chair or ride a horse?"

Zhang Jian snorted lightly when he heard the words.

"Of course it's walking!"

Hearing this, Zhang Lu's face suddenly became bitter. This "go to work" is not Zhang Jian, but him.

……

When Zhang Jian stepped into Chengtian Hall, the sky outside was just getting bright, and many ministers of civil and military affairs in the court were also filing in.

Zhang Jian's green robe is quite conspicuous among the many dignitaries dressed in red and purple, but because the censor from the censor platform is watching him next to him, many civil and military ministers just took a look and stood in their positions , Close your eyes and rest your mind.

The generals are a little bit better. They are physically strong and energetic, but many civil servants look tired, and many of them are trying to force their spirits.

After Zhang Jian came in, he first asked the guard general at the door, and found his position.

His seat is on the side of Chengtian Hall, where there is another small desk with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and a chair, and the salary is very good.

The spirit of dragon and tiger in Chengtian Hall was heavy, Zhang Jian couldn't move his spirit eyes and looked around, at this time his attention fell on his own fate again.

Ever since he got married, he has noticed that his three fates have all changed. It seems that a steady stream of luck has been continuously integrated into the three fates, prompting the transformation of the three fates.

Especially the first fate, Long Zhang Feng Zi.

After merging into that stream of luck, there seemed to be a dragon shape inside, and a phoenix shadow emerged.

It also gradually changed from green with purple to purple and green intertwined, and the purple air occupied most of it.

As for the other two fates, the purple-backed red carp scales manifested by the Chidezhen King's fate became more and more clear, with red dragon patterns appearing on them, and the carp's whiskers turned into dragon beards.

The fate of aspiring to the top of the mountain and river gradually condenses and emerges the fate of a small tripod.

The source of this change seems to be Qi Yuhua.

The phoenix's life will feed back, and it has indeed benefited a lot.

With the changes in the three major fates, Zhang Jian's speed of swallowing the universe and the universe has also increased, benefiting indirectly.

Zhang Jian is not collecting inspirations to practice in Chengtian Hall at this time. This place is the focus of Sheji Shinto. It can be said that all gods gather, so he will not easily expose his roots.

At this moment, Zhang Jian's expression suddenly changed. He noticed wisps of divine charm coming from the side hall, as if accompanied by gods. Walk out of the side hall.

Emperor Jingwu has arrived.

At that moment, Zhang Jian also started his "function" as the secretary of the venue, taking a pen to record each topic of the court meeting, including the speeches of every important court minister.

In fact, after picking up the pen, Zhang Jian discovered that this is a position with very special power. If he has the heart to give a lot of speeches to "beautify" one or two, maybe when the emperor looks at it again, it will form a position against a certain minister. bonus items.

The same word is used well, although the meaning is the same, but the context is quite different.

If a certain minister offends the emperor by speaking in Chengtian Hall, if he is willing, he can also help to put forward a few key points. When the emperor looks at it again, his expression may ease, and he may change his mind and save him. The official career of this important minister.

But for the first time here, Zhang Jian is still not, he is quite in the rules, and his notes are as impartial as possible.

Zhang Jian noticed that he was not the only one taking notes in the field, there were two other people, and those two were historians with different functions from him.

At this time, after the conclusion of many large and small discussions in various counties, many civil and military ministers began to discuss the last matter.

This is also a matter of concern to the ministers of the early court today. Since the beginning of summer, there have been signs of locust outbreaks in various provinces.

The crops that had just been planted in the counties were expected to have a harvest, but at this time, there was an outbreak of locusts, and a reduction in production was inevitable, and there might even be a failure.

This locust plague appeared suddenly.

Many courtiers thought that there might be evil spirits and heretics interfering in this, and asked the Taoists of Dongshen Temple to find a way to solve the matter.

At this moment above the court hall, Emperor Jingwu frowned and looked at Taoist Jingming.

"Master Jingming, I remember that when the first emperor was alive, there was also a locust plague. Behind it, several elders who were proficient in the method of controlling beasts in the Dongshen Temple took action, driving millions of birds to fly north, and solved this disaster. Could you invite a few more Should an elder come forward to solve such natural and man-made disasters as usual?"

Taoist Jingming stood in front of the Sangong Jiuqing.

Behind him are Zhuang Ying, the imperial historian, and Chu Ping, the Taiwei.

The prime minister, Chen Gongren, was on sick leave recently and was recuperating at home, and did not participate in the morning meeting.

Taoist Jingming was a little embarrassed when he heard the words.

It is not difficult for Dongshenguan to send a few elders to solve the locust plague, but what he is worried about is the strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain.

Nowadays, the defense force in the city of Haojing is insufficient, and the removal of any elder of the generation may form a defensive loophole.

Moreover, the locust plague is still dangerous. It may not be safe to call only one elder. It is better to call more elders.

But he couldn't refuse.

After all, it is about the community.

"Your Majesty, leave this matter to my ministers. Dongshen Temple will solve this matter for Your Majesty, so as to prevent the common people from suffering!"

At this time, another official in a red robe stood up and said.

"Your Majesty, there are also ghosts and snake gods taking advantage of natural disasters and man-made disasters to confuse the people and spread unfavorable rumors about the court. These ghosts and snake gods have each formed some Taoist sects, such as the Fire Worship Sect, Qingping Taoist School, Sanyang Taoism, Red Lotus Taoism, etc. Wait, please Your Majesty to ban these illegal sects!"

This is a competent official in Taichang Temple.

Before the case, Zhang Jian frowned when he heard someone mention Hongliandao.

He remained motionless. As the Taoist behind the Red Lotus Dao, he certainly knew the speed of the development of the Red Lotus Dao.

With the help of last year's drought and ice disaster, Red Lotus Road has indeed developed rapidly.

Especially after changing the doctrine, adhering to the light of the flame, friendship, solidarity and mutual assistance, gathered many refugees and refugees, and helped them out of the predicament.

These refugees and refugees have a natural affection for Red Lotus Road.

Of course, he has a great affection for Honglian Dao, but he has a great dislike for the government.

Although Red Lotus Road has now become a pure Taoist organization, if any changes occur, it will indeed be able to sweep the counties.

Emperor Jingwu nodded slightly and said: "What He Aiqing said is true, I will ask the Institute of Culture and Sports to draft an edict to ban these folk sects, and also send officials from Qintiantai to inspect various places. If there is any discrepancy, we should cooperate with the local government. Send troops to forcibly disband these sects!"

After the Xuandu sect rebelled, Emperor Jingwu was very wary of the existence of such Taoist sects.

Listening to the suggestions of many ministers in the court, Zhang Jian knew that not only Honglian Dao, but also other Dao sects would soon be in trouble.

But since he got the first-hand news, he was naturally able to make Hongliandao avoid the blow.

The means used are still nothing more than breaking the whole into parts and dispersing the backbone of the Taoist school.

The foundation of these Taoist sects are those refugees. As long as the Daqian court does not solve the problem of land annexation and aristocratic families, these Taoist sects will soon be revived.

Even more intense.
