Chapter 14 The Ming Court Trains Yinzhen to Discipline His Disciples to Offer Good Strategies, Have a Drink and Test Talents
Brothers Yinzhen and Yinxiang walked while talking, and reined in the horse's head when they arrived at the gate of Xihua.Yinxiang looked at Yin and said with nostalgia: "I originally wanted to invite my fourth brother to come to my house, but I haven't visited my house for seven or eight months, so I have to leave it now." Yin said with a smile: "Come on! I won't I dare to mess with your house! Last time I stopped there for a pack of cigarettes and just said that Meng Guangzu from the third brother's house went to Yunnan to buy things. When the third brother met the next day, he explained the matter in detail. How can these killers be your slaves? I don’t know whose spies are spying on you!” Yinxiang smiled and said goodbye, saying: “No one can compare with the fourth brother’s family skills! I’m a little kid! Brother, I am not as good as the eldest brother and the third brother. They opened a palace and built a tooth as soon as they left the palace. There was a mixture of fish and dragons, and there were people recommended by everyone. I'm tired of talking." After that, he went to fight his horse.
Yin was riding straight to Ding'anmen on horseback. He was thinking about the difficult situation of the country, the difficulty of errands, the quarrels between brothers, and all kinds of troubles. He had no idea what to do when he suddenly felt a coldness on his cheeks, and then there was a drop of water on his arms. , when I looked up, I didn’t know when the sky had become cloudy, and sparse raindrops had already fallen.The soldiers on the left and right, Goshha, were about to take shelter from the rain because they didn't bring any rain gear. They saw Dai Duo galloping towards him on horseback from a distance, holding an oil coat in his hand. Thirteenth Beizi's house is here! Only after meeting Master Thirteenth did I know that I would take this path."
"Is everything okay in the house?" Yin put on his oil coat and asked, "Are all the princes at home?" Dai Duo smiled quickly and said, "I haven't seen the eldest young master. The second young master and the fourth young master are accompanying Mr. Wu in the study room of Yixingzhai. , Xingyin is talking to Monk Wenjue! Daqiansui and Third Master have just been here, and they said they are leaving before I come back. I don’t know whether they have left or not.” While he was talking, the rain had already started to fall heavily, and the trees around him were being beaten. The leaves were rustling. Because his eldest brother, Yinzhi, and his third brother, Yinzhi, were at home, he didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly urged his horses to ride.
Yin's Sibeile Mansion was originally the site of the imperial prison of the former Ming Dynasty, also known as "sticking the pole". It was actually a palace in the Forbidden City.After it was given to Yin, only the yellow tiles were replaced by green tiles, but the regulations were still very spectacular. The five courtyards were paved with gold bricks made by Sigong under the supervision of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They were as flat as a mirror and as hard as iron.When Kangxi rewarded Yin, he didn't dare to accept it. Later, he saw that Yin Yinzhi and Yin's mansion were even more majestic than this, so he moved in half-heartedly.Yin rushed to the door of the mansion in the rain, and saw Gao Fu'er leading dozens of respectable senior servants in the mansion to wait in front of the dismounting stone. They were all soaked like wet chickens, and no one dared to move.Gao Fu'er led everyone to pick up Yin from his horse in the rain. While saying hello, he said: "The eldest and third masters are in the east study room. Just now, the eldest and second young masters said they would come out to greet the master. Fujin said that she could not accompany her brother, so she Call the two young masters."
"Go and tell Mr. Wu that I'm back." Yin dismounted his horse and was supported by others as he walked, "I'll change into dry clothes and go over - tell Mr. Wu that I'll go over after seeing you two." .”
"Returning to Master," Gao Fuer said, "Third Master said that he has admired Mr. Wu's name for a long time. If he wants to see you, please ask Fujin. Fujin said to ask the eldest and second young masters to accompany him to meet."
Yin couldn't help but stopped and was startled: How did they know that Wu Sidao was in their house?What long ears!Because he asked again: "Where is your fourth young master?"
"The fourth young master went back to his study to study."
"Yeah." Yin stopped talking and walked into Wanfu Hall.Fujin Nala was sitting on the Kang playing cards, flanked by his concubine Niu Hulu, Nian Gengyao's sister Nian and a large group of maids, nannies and old ladies waiting to welcome Yin.Seeing Yin coming in dripping wet in his oil coat, Narashi leaned down and said to Buddha: "My Lord! It's so wet! Get some clothes quickly and change - bring me the bowl of ginseng soup that was heated first Call me for help!" Everyone was kneeling in black crows.
Yin had something on his mind, so he ordered everyone to get up, changed their clothes and said with a smile: "Compared to Anhui, this is paradise. If you don't use snakes, snakes, scorpions, how can you get gonorrhea?" Seeing Nian standing aside with a big belly. , and said: "You are pregnant. From now until the full moon, you don't even need to set any rules in front of me - your brother Nian Gengyao will probably not come back until the New Year. He is in very good health, so you don't need to set any rules." Yin's The third child was miscarried and died young because Niu Hulu was pregnant and waiting for her. Hearing this, Niu Hulu's eyes turned red.Nala was about to speak when he saw brother Hongshi and Hongzhou coming in with deerskin boots and said, "The two uncles and Wu Sidao are chatting over there. The sons came to greet their father." Seeing that his father did not say anything, He didn't even dare to get up.
"I'm out here, but my heart is in Beijing." Yin said coldly, "I heard that you two beat your fifth uncle's dick in a cricket fight? You're really capable!" After that, he drank ginseng soup, and everyone in the room was frightened. I don't dare to express my anger.Yinyin said again: "The fifth generation of the Gentleman has been killed. From Master Shunzhi to you, we are the fourth generation. Don't you know how to be vigilant? Hongli can now memorize hundreds of Tang poems. You are older than him. You can't memorize it." How much? See for yourselves, you are wearing a silk scarf to wade into the muddy water, and these boots are for treading water? Have you not read Zhu Xi's maxims on family management? "
Yin had a fit. After drinking the ginseng soup, the color on his face returned. He glanced at everyone and said, "You two go back to the study. Today, recite the "Encouragement to Learning" for me, and write another "Gentleman" "Don't Give Up on Yourself", I'll watch it tomorrow night!" After that, he got up and left.
"Okay, the cold-faced prince is back!" Eldest brother Yin. Third brother, Yinzhi and Wu Sidao were drinking tea and talking in Yixingzhai. When they saw Yin entering the hospital, they both stood up.Yin said jokingly: "This time I walked around Tongcheng and collected 100 million in cash. I won and returned to the court. I have to kill the carbine again at the Ministry of Household Affairs. My brother will stand by and watch, watching my brother show off his talents!" Yin said to the two of them one by one! Da Qian'er said hello, smiled and nodded to Wu Sidao, who was standing next to the chair with a cane, and said: "Brother, don't make fun of me. I have to do my best to deal with the errands sent by the emperor. I am a dirty water tank for my family. What don't I know? Yes. - Come on, please sit down. Today we invite guests without asking for anything. Let’s get a few plates of side dishes and let’s talk while drinking. - Mr. Wu, you still don’t know that my third brother and twenty brothers are all literary. Number one scholar, eldest brother, he is considered to be the number one scholar in martial arts. It is really rare to have a gathering today!" When people outside the door heard this, they had already rushed out, and soon they handed over several plates of cold dishes and a bottle of jade pot spring wine.Yin then gave up his hand and said: "Sit down, sit down! I heard that Third Brother and Mr. Wu were having a meeting, and I was very interested!"
Yinzhi smiled and said: "Mr. Wu, the fourth child, is really lovely! I have never seen the rival of the third child, but now I have opened my eyes!" Yinzhi also smiled and said: "Sure enough, Zuo Yu's name is worthy of his name. Xing, Zhao Taiming has really failed you. But I don’t believe you when you say that there are no absolutes in the world - last year when I was traveling to Xishan, a scholar named Che and a scholar named Qiao went up the mountain in a sedan chair. Mr. Chen Shengzhai made a couplet: Scholar Che Qiao and the other two are riding in the same sedan to climb a mountain - may I ask, are you compatible?"
"I also met something when I went to Shanzhou that year." Wu Sidao sat down and smiled slightly, "A man surnamed Ma and a businessman surnamed Lu rode a donkey across the river. So the joint words spoken by the third master can be Confrontation: Two merchants from Malu led a donkey to ford the water." After hearing this, several people felt that it was true, and they couldn't help but screamed.But Yin Zhi said again: "Then what about 'Yan Suo Pond Willow'? This is the eternal widower!"
Wu Sidao smiled and said: "What kind of widower's argument is this? Since there is smoke on the pond, the Zhenhu Tower must have lost water, so I will go up to the 'Shaotan Zhenhu Tower'. I think it is not bad." Everyone was savoring Shi Yin Someone nearby said loudly: "This wood is firewood - mountains and mountains are coming out!"
"From water to oil, risk every day!"
Everyone couldn't help but applaud and laugh, and Yin also got excited. He raised his glass and drank and said: "I'm not good at this. Last time Nian Gengyao said one word, only two words, and no one could answer it. Third brother and Mr. Sidao We are all experts, please tell me: Sex is difficult - what is it good for?"
"Is this - easy?" Wu Sidao raised his glass and took a sip, then said nothing.Seeing that Yinzhi was looking down at his withered intestines, Yin said, "Since it's easy, why don't you come out?" Seeing Yinzhi staring at him, Wu Sidao smiled and said, "I've already got it right. It's the word 'easy'. Is that right?" Don’t you want to cut it?”
Everyone laughed again. Seeing his agility, Yinzhi wanted to confuse him. He pointed to a painting on the wall and said, "This is Qiu Shizhou's "Hangu Pass". I'll take you!" Wu Sidao thought for a while, and said in response:
Xiongzhen Gujintang, eyeing the six kings.
The land swallows a hundred and more, and Zuo Jian is two weeks long.
Pheasant battlements remain strong, but there are few pills and mud.
Qingniu carried the guest on his back, and laughed all over Xianyang!
Before the sound of chanting finished, Yin pointed to the "Picture of Zhong Kui" on the wall and said hastily: "For this picture, you are not allowed to think about it and make up the topic with your mouth. You are not allowed to bring the Lord of Heaven and Earth to your teacher, and you are not allowed to quote the words of the saint. Say, hurry up! "
"A husband is a Jinshi, a ghost; a ghost is a Jinshi. One becomes two, and two become one!"
"Wonderful!" Yin couldn't help but cheer for the crime, and Yin Yinzhi also rubbed his hands and praised repeatedly: "It's strange that the fourth man doesn't joke with outsiders, so there is such a Jie Yi Po Yan guest at home!" When Yin turned around, he saw Gao Fuler, Kan'er and the dog. The son was also laughing outside on the porch. Knowing that it was the dog who had finished his business, he came in to answer the question and said, "What do you know? How do you behave in a chirping manner?"
Gao Fu'er hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "We have been here for a while. I heard that the men were so funny that I forgot about God. The dog also said a few words, called Kaner Dui!" Yin then asked the dog: "What's wrong with you?" What?"
"Smoke conservatory."
Everyone was stunned when he said this, even Wu Sidao couldn't think of what to do for a while, but saw Kan'er with a sleepy face, rubbing his nose and saying: "Fart warms the bed!"
Everyone burst into laughter immediately. Yinzhi laughed so hard that he leaned forward and backward. Yinzhi stopped laughing and rubbed his stomach while holding on to the back of the chair. Wu Sidao touched his chest and was just coughing. Even though Yinzhi usually had a cold face and a cold heart, he took a sip of wine on the floor. Sprayed all over the ground.
"I'm so happy tonight!" Yinzhi laughed for a while, stretched out his arms and said, "Is it the time of Xu? Third brother, we have built a long tent for thousands of miles, and the feast is over. It's time for us to go." Yinzhi shook Wu Sidao's hand. Holding his hands, he stood up and said, "I really should recommend you to take the exam. It's a pity that you have a disability and come to my house for a walk in your free time. There are many great scholars here, and everyone talks and laughs."
The smile on Yin's face immediately disappeared, but Wu Sidao put up his crutches and said with a smile: "Thanks to the kindness of the third master. But my brother is in poor health, so the fourth master rewarded him with the money and went back to the south the next day. A disabled person cannot be driven, so he is just a slave." It's just a joke. If I have the chance to come to Beijing again, I will definitely go to the third master's house to flatter him." After hearing what he said, Yin declined very gracefully. For fear of getting entangled in other things, he asked: "Do you two brothers have anything else to do? "
"Come to see you, it's nothing serious." Yin said, "My protégé Xiao Mancheng called you the ugly guy from Yunnan and brought him to Beijing. He even went to my place to cry a lot last night and wanted to beg for help. His account has a grace period of one and a half years - can you reward me for this?" Yinzhi looked at Yinzhi and knew that he must be talking about this kind of thing, so he smiled and said: "We'll see, what are the prince's regulations? . You don’t know the true face of Mount Lu, just because you are in this mountain!" As soon as Yinzhi heard this, he knew that the iron door latch was not easy to pull, so he stopped mentioning it and just smiled lightly.Yin Ye smiled and said, "I know that's what you said! We are also looking at the prince, just don't worry!" Everyone has gone, and only Yin and Wu Sidao are left in the room.The rain outside was still pattering, making the banana leaves bang. After a long time, Yinfang took a deep breath and said, "It just so happens that you catch the wind tonight, and I will catch the wind for you." .I wonder if you are used to living here?"
"It's okay." Wu Sidao sighed, and then Caiwen burst into laughter as if it had been a lifetime ago, and said in a deep voice: "I guess the fourth master already knows about my situation. Now I also know a little about the fourth master's situation. A confidant is enough, let alone how the fourth master treats me like this? The fourth master only needs to see that the cripple is still useful, and he will obey your orders. From now on, I will be the same as Dai Duo. "
"You are different from Dai Duo." Yin stared at the candlelight dimly, "I will treat you as a teacher!" Wu Sidao glanced at Yin in surprise, then lowered his eyelids and said, "I definitely don't dare to act like this. Not because of that. I am a commoner. I know that old Mr. Gu Badai was the first master of Fourth Master. Mr. Gu Badai and Jia Yan were of the same age. Who is this young man who dares to overstep his bounds? Fourth Master, if I want to live here peacefully, the word 'teacher' must be used. It's hard to bear it." Yin was silent for a long time and said: "In that case, I treat you as a friend. Sir, the country is unparalleled. Although I am not Lord Mengchang, I dare not abandon the due etiquette. The current situation of the country is declining, and it only has the name of prosperity. The hidden worries are also terrible. The burden I have taken is too heavy, and I am somewhat unable to do it, so I have to rely on your wisdom."
Wu Sidao sipped the tea, a blush slowly appeared on his face, his pupils were shining brightly under the candle, and suddenly dimmed again, and he said: "I originally had the ambition to help the world, but luck has failed me, and I have become so sluggish. This is Fate, luck, time, and numbers. I was already discouraged, and I didn’t want to do what the third master said. The reason for coming to Beijing this time was to marry Feng Gu, take her back to the south, and start a business. I was just a Tao Zhugong, but I didn't expect this to happen again! I've been here for several months, and I'm well-informed. Now I know that the fourth master's troubles are definitely not related to the errands of the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Officials. To use a sage's words, I am afraid of the Ji family's worries. Within the Xiao Qiang!" Yin trembled all over and almost spilled the tea in his hand. He stared at Wu Sidao for a long time and asked, "Did you hear something, sir?"
"You don't need to inquire about it." Wu Sidao's tone was as cold as ice, "If the capital is a good place, why would the fourth master and the thirteenth master bother to open the account department to avoid disaster in Anhui? Is it really for river control? Why would they rather stay here? Anhui raises its own money and refuses to reach out to the Ministry of Households?"
"You mean...?"
"The prince's position is unstable." Wu Sidao said, "The monarch and his ministers are suspicious, father and son are suspicious, and brothers are suspicious of each other. This is not a blessing to the country." Yin looked at Wu Sidao in surprise, a little dazed.Wu Sidao had discussed these words with Yin Xiang on and off, but he had never been so thorough and organized, and the root cause was clearly laid out in one fell swoop.When they moved, Yincai said: "There are indeed rumors in the capital now that the emperor wants to depose the prince. I came back and met with the emperor and the prince. It is different from what I heard and thought in Anhui. I am afraid that there are some villains who are causing trouble and alienating each other. The emperor and the prince are also unknown." Wu Sidao smiled and said: "The danger of the prince is like dew in the morning! The root cause is very far away. In the 36th year of Kangxi, the emperor went west to Qinghai, and the prince stayed in Beijing to deal with important military affairs in the rear. The emperor occasionally felt cold and traveled thousands of miles away. He called him to the front of the army all the way. At that time, he was already very worried about the prince! He went to the study room to ask for the prince's picture. In the 42nd year of Kangxi's reign, he gathered Geng Suotu to join the princeling party. They wanted to take advantage of the emperor's southern tour to help the prince ascend to the throne and put the emperor on the throne. The status of the Supreme Emperor. After the Dongchuang incident, Suo'etu was imprisoned. Although the prince was saved, does the emperor have no grudge against such a tragic change between father and son? Fourth Master, if the prince's backer is strong, why did he buy a manor today? A house from tomorrow? The world will be his one day, and he still wants to build a private nest? "
Yin chewed Wu Sidao's words and sighed: "He is just such a person. He has told me several times that life is short and you have to enjoy yourself in time. There is nothing you can do about such a prince."
"Oh, does Fourth Master think so?" Wu Sidao suddenly laughed loudly, "You are wrong! Xin Qiji's saying 'asking for land and asking for a house, fearing that he will be embarrassed to meet, Liu Lang is talented' specifically refers to the scholar-bureaucrats. The prince can also be counted as one He used a shady strategy to show the emperor that he has no ambitions!" This reminder had an enlightening effect on Yin Zhen. He shuddered all over and said with a smile with his teeth sticking out: "Father and son are so suspicious of each other. "Son, it's really heart-breaking! His method is considered well-intentioned, but it only makes it difficult for us who are on errands to clean up the officials and take care of his dignity..." As he said this, he just shook his head.Wu Sidao said: "If you meet an ordinary emperor, the prince's strategy is useful. However, the current emperor is a sage who came out every 500 years, so the best policy has become the worst policy. The emperor is old and tired of hard work, so he has to pay all the political affairs. The prince thought that he could take it up and let it go, but the fourth master thought about it. Measuring the land of the whole country was nothing; updating the tax system was nothing; renovating rivers and water transportation was a mess; cleaning up the household deficit, he was nothing. He is the number one debtor; there is fraud in the examination room, and he is unable to clean it up - the emperor's brothers saw his failure in politics, so they dared to take action against him - he was 'in harmony with the light', and people took advantage of it to complain. The emperor was even more unfaithful, and he became more and more frightened, becoming even more harmonious. How serious is this cycle? He already didn’t trust him. Isn’t this making matters worse? I heard that the emperor was visiting Rehe this year, and he changed his usual rules and asked him to Follow me, the guards of Yuqing Palace change every three months, what are these signs?"
Yin's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and suddenly he remembered Longkodo's appointment as the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture.Thinking that he and Yin Xiang were the prince's right and left arms in the eyes of everyone, he couldn't help wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.After a long time, Fang sighed: "Tonight is better than studying for ten years. However, after all, things have not happened, and we must try to save it. The prince and I are like brothers, and righteousness is like a monarch. At this moment, we must not add insult to injury. This road will go to the dark side." !”
"This road has to be taken." Wu Sidao nodded and said, "But it doesn't have to be dark, we have to wait and see. We have done our best, and it depends on destiny. If the prince can change his mind, change his ways, or can change his mind, that's it. Go down, if the crown prince is not dethroned within three years, the fourth master will judge me!" Yin stood up with excitement and paced quickly on the ground, but soon calmed down and sighed: "I didn't expect that I worked hard on errands and fell into the whirlpool. Now that the Ministry of Revenue is cleaning up the treasury, he owes a huge debt - 45! It is said that it will be paid at the end of the year, but it is not sure what will happen! Long live the day, and it must be completed before October Damn, now the millstone is clamping my hand!"
Wu Sidao was startled for a moment and asked, "Can the fourth master persuade the prince not to speak so bluntly, but to suppress it with the words of the long live master, please consider the overall situation and pay off the debt as soon as possible." "You don't know that my second brother," Yin huffed and said, "Looks gentle and weak, but in fact it's sticky and greasy on the teeth. He can't bear serious words. He makes insinuations. He pretends to be vague. Sometimes he makes people angry to death." Wu Sidao hesitated for a moment and gently lifted the teacup. Putting it down gently, he suddenly said: "45... is not a small number, and it is not a big deal!"
"What did you say?"
"I said, let's put it on the mat first!"
"Ah?" Yin Shi said in surprise, "Where can I get such a large amount of money for him? I have a salary of 8000 taels a year, and Zhuangzi is the least among the elder brothers... To discuss with Lao Ba and the others, isn't it like seeking the skin of a tiger? "
Wu Sidao put up his crutches, walked to the door and looked at the drizzle outside. After a long time, he said, "I can afford this money!" Yin was shocked and said with a slight stutter: "I already knew that you were from a Jiangnan family, but you actually So rich?"
"No." Wu Sidao shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "My family is only well-off, and I can't afford [-] yuan even if I have skin cramps. But this time I went to Beijing and got an unexpected fortune..." He took out something from his arms Holding it in his hand, he said, "Fourth Master, please look!"
Yin took a step closer and saw that Wu Sidao was holding an object the size of a hazelnut in his palm. It was green and bright, shining with colorful rays of light under the lamp. It was a gem. Yin said: "This is an emerald. It is worth the most." Fifty thousand silver…”
"Ten pieces are 50." Wu Sidao said with a smile, "Besides, there are not necessarily only ten pieces. According to my inference, there should be eighteen pieces, together with the rest of the jewelry, and their price should be more than 300 million. A mere 45 is not worth mentioning. If there is any other use in the future, Fourth Master will also be generous..." After hearing this, Yin was secretly shocked and asked: "Where can I get such a huge sum of money? I am not a person who can't live in a parasol tree, and can't drink from a cheap spring! Wu Sidao walked back to his chair and sat down, and said: "There are countless wealth without owners in the world. Since I have pledged myself to the Lord, I will share my worries as the Lord."
Yin didn't answer, just stared at Wu Sidao with questioning eyes.Wu Sidao said leisurely: "This wealth has been in Dajue Temple for a hundred years. If the Fourth Master does not take it, sooner or later, those bald donkeys will be advantaged. Only God knows about this matter. You know it and I know it-"
"And we know it too!"
Suddenly there was a burst of laughter outside the door, and both Yin and Wu Sidao were surprised.When I looked up, I saw an old monk wearing khaki cloth with white eyebrows and white beard walking in. The tutu behind him was Xingyin.The two monks were one civilized and one martial. The old one, Wenjue, specially accompanied Yin to receive eminent monks from all over the world, and presided over interactions with various Buddhist monasteries in Beijing. He was Yin's substitute monk.Xingyin lived in Niangan in the north of the mansion and trained his servants, bodyguards and disciples in martial arts.Seeing them coming in, Yin smiled and said: "Mr. Wu just scolded the bald donkey, and two monks came! From such a distance, can you hear Xingyin?" Monk Wenjue sat down and Xingyin said with a smile: "I There is a method of transmitting sound, and the study over there is less than a stone's throw away from here, so I can hear it clearly."
"My hobby is to search for strange things." Wu Sidao agreed and said calmly, "I stayed at Dajue Temple for a few days and read all the inscriptions in the temple. Because this temple was originally built by Li Yongzhen, the eunuch of the former Ming Dynasty, I stayed here I remember the record in "Xiao Feng Miscellaneous Notes" that Li Yongzhen, who led the construction of Wei Sheng Temple in the Ming Dynasty, made a statue of Wei Zhongxian with a crown and a scepter, just like an emperor... The statue was made of agarwood, with eyes, ears, mouth, nose, hands and feet resembling the same shape. A stranger. His belly and heart are all filled with gold, jewels and jade, and his clothes are gorgeous...'"
He eloquently recited it like flowing water, and everyone was already dumbfounded.However, Wu Sidao changed his tone and said: "Later, when I went to the shrine, I saw two wooden statues that had not been buried. They were quite similar to what was said in the records. They were old and stained with mud and smoke. Look, it was made in the fifth year of Tianqi, so I concluded that this must be the portrait of Wei Zhongxian. I dug out their eyes and found four emeralds. Three emeralds were buried in Dajue Temple, and one was carried with me. I just saw it." The three of them couldn't help but stare at the front of Wu Sidao's case, the gem was shining brightly, and it was actually placed there!Sexual voice still said naively: "Is there such a coincidence?"
"This is nothing more than a treasury. The fourth master is planning for the world, and it won't hurt integrity." Wu Sidao's eyes were shining, but his voice was still calm: "Wei Zhongxian is said to be nine thousand years old. According to reason, there should be nine statues. It was discovered by me that I had been buried for so many years. It was God-given to the fourth master! There must be seven more buried under the shrine. It is not difficult to do this at all. Gou'er and Kan'er were taken back without anyone noticing!" Wen Jue couldn't help praising: "Mr. is really a man! But the seven statues may have disappeared. I'm also a little unbelievable, why didn't the person who made the statue take it back that day? Go? There are so many monks in the temple, and I have not recognized them for more than 100 years!" "Not everyone can recognize the jade of Jingshan and the pearl of the snake!" Wu Sidao sighed, "The whole body of the wooden statue is paste with glutinous rice flour. , it was probably done by the people who made the statues or guarded the shrine at that time, but the Wei party lost power, the court searched for it very strictly, and those who knew it were killed before they could take it..."
These words were like sleep talk, but they were all analyzed in a meticulous manner. For a while, the study room was as quiet as a barren temple.After a long time, Xingyin threw arms and eyes, and said happily: "Fourth Lord, follow Mr. Wu's idea. Within three days, we will bring out all the treasures!"
Yin looked at Wu Sidao, he could not say anything.But I feel like my whole body is boiling, and the sour and hot air is boiling.After a long time, he nodded heavily and his voice became a little hoarse: "Sir, I have nothing to say. How can I repay you for treating me like this?"
"A scholar dies for a confidant, and a woman is for a person who pleases her." Wu Sidao replied quietly, "Baile treated me as a national scholar, how can I repay you as a miser?"
(End of this chapter)
Brothers Yinzhen and Yinxiang walked while talking, and reined in the horse's head when they arrived at the gate of Xihua.Yinxiang looked at Yin and said with nostalgia: "I originally wanted to invite my fourth brother to come to my house, but I haven't visited my house for seven or eight months, so I have to leave it now." Yin said with a smile: "Come on! I won't I dare to mess with your house! Last time I stopped there for a pack of cigarettes and just said that Meng Guangzu from the third brother's house went to Yunnan to buy things. When the third brother met the next day, he explained the matter in detail. How can these killers be your slaves? I don’t know whose spies are spying on you!” Yinxiang smiled and said goodbye, saying: “No one can compare with the fourth brother’s family skills! I’m a little kid! Brother, I am not as good as the eldest brother and the third brother. They opened a palace and built a tooth as soon as they left the palace. There was a mixture of fish and dragons, and there were people recommended by everyone. I'm tired of talking." After that, he went to fight his horse.
Yin was riding straight to Ding'anmen on horseback. He was thinking about the difficult situation of the country, the difficulty of errands, the quarrels between brothers, and all kinds of troubles. He had no idea what to do when he suddenly felt a coldness on his cheeks, and then there was a drop of water on his arms. , when I looked up, I didn’t know when the sky had become cloudy, and sparse raindrops had already fallen.The soldiers on the left and right, Goshha, were about to take shelter from the rain because they didn't bring any rain gear. They saw Dai Duo galloping towards him on horseback from a distance, holding an oil coat in his hand. Thirteenth Beizi's house is here! Only after meeting Master Thirteenth did I know that I would take this path."
"Is everything okay in the house?" Yin put on his oil coat and asked, "Are all the princes at home?" Dai Duo smiled quickly and said, "I haven't seen the eldest young master. The second young master and the fourth young master are accompanying Mr. Wu in the study room of Yixingzhai. , Xingyin is talking to Monk Wenjue! Daqiansui and Third Master have just been here, and they said they are leaving before I come back. I don’t know whether they have left or not.” While he was talking, the rain had already started to fall heavily, and the trees around him were being beaten. The leaves were rustling. Because his eldest brother, Yinzhi, and his third brother, Yinzhi, were at home, he didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly urged his horses to ride.
Yin's Sibeile Mansion was originally the site of the imperial prison of the former Ming Dynasty, also known as "sticking the pole". It was actually a palace in the Forbidden City.After it was given to Yin, only the yellow tiles were replaced by green tiles, but the regulations were still very spectacular. The five courtyards were paved with gold bricks made by Sigong under the supervision of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They were as flat as a mirror and as hard as iron.When Kangxi rewarded Yin, he didn't dare to accept it. Later, he saw that Yin Yinzhi and Yin's mansion were even more majestic than this, so he moved in half-heartedly.Yin rushed to the door of the mansion in the rain, and saw Gao Fu'er leading dozens of respectable senior servants in the mansion to wait in front of the dismounting stone. They were all soaked like wet chickens, and no one dared to move.Gao Fu'er led everyone to pick up Yin from his horse in the rain. While saying hello, he said: "The eldest and third masters are in the east study room. Just now, the eldest and second young masters said they would come out to greet the master. Fujin said that she could not accompany her brother, so she Call the two young masters."
"Go and tell Mr. Wu that I'm back." Yin dismounted his horse and was supported by others as he walked, "I'll change into dry clothes and go over - tell Mr. Wu that I'll go over after seeing you two." .”
"Returning to Master," Gao Fuer said, "Third Master said that he has admired Mr. Wu's name for a long time. If he wants to see you, please ask Fujin. Fujin said to ask the eldest and second young masters to accompany him to meet."
Yin couldn't help but stopped and was startled: How did they know that Wu Sidao was in their house?What long ears!Because he asked again: "Where is your fourth young master?"
"The fourth young master went back to his study to study."
"Yeah." Yin stopped talking and walked into Wanfu Hall.Fujin Nala was sitting on the Kang playing cards, flanked by his concubine Niu Hulu, Nian Gengyao's sister Nian and a large group of maids, nannies and old ladies waiting to welcome Yin.Seeing Yin coming in dripping wet in his oil coat, Narashi leaned down and said to Buddha: "My Lord! It's so wet! Get some clothes quickly and change - bring me the bowl of ginseng soup that was heated first Call me for help!" Everyone was kneeling in black crows.
Yin had something on his mind, so he ordered everyone to get up, changed their clothes and said with a smile: "Compared to Anhui, this is paradise. If you don't use snakes, snakes, scorpions, how can you get gonorrhea?" Seeing Nian standing aside with a big belly. , and said: "You are pregnant. From now until the full moon, you don't even need to set any rules in front of me - your brother Nian Gengyao will probably not come back until the New Year. He is in very good health, so you don't need to set any rules." Yin's The third child was miscarried and died young because Niu Hulu was pregnant and waiting for her. Hearing this, Niu Hulu's eyes turned red.Nala was about to speak when he saw brother Hongshi and Hongzhou coming in with deerskin boots and said, "The two uncles and Wu Sidao are chatting over there. The sons came to greet their father." Seeing that his father did not say anything, He didn't even dare to get up.
"I'm out here, but my heart is in Beijing." Yin said coldly, "I heard that you two beat your fifth uncle's dick in a cricket fight? You're really capable!" After that, he drank ginseng soup, and everyone in the room was frightened. I don't dare to express my anger.Yinyin said again: "The fifth generation of the Gentleman has been killed. From Master Shunzhi to you, we are the fourth generation. Don't you know how to be vigilant? Hongli can now memorize hundreds of Tang poems. You are older than him. You can't memorize it." How much? See for yourselves, you are wearing a silk scarf to wade into the muddy water, and these boots are for treading water? Have you not read Zhu Xi's maxims on family management? "
Yin had a fit. After drinking the ginseng soup, the color on his face returned. He glanced at everyone and said, "You two go back to the study. Today, recite the "Encouragement to Learning" for me, and write another "Gentleman" "Don't Give Up on Yourself", I'll watch it tomorrow night!" After that, he got up and left.
"Okay, the cold-faced prince is back!" Eldest brother Yin. Third brother, Yinzhi and Wu Sidao were drinking tea and talking in Yixingzhai. When they saw Yin entering the hospital, they both stood up.Yin said jokingly: "This time I walked around Tongcheng and collected 100 million in cash. I won and returned to the court. I have to kill the carbine again at the Ministry of Household Affairs. My brother will stand by and watch, watching my brother show off his talents!" Yin said to the two of them one by one! Da Qian'er said hello, smiled and nodded to Wu Sidao, who was standing next to the chair with a cane, and said: "Brother, don't make fun of me. I have to do my best to deal with the errands sent by the emperor. I am a dirty water tank for my family. What don't I know? Yes. - Come on, please sit down. Today we invite guests without asking for anything. Let’s get a few plates of side dishes and let’s talk while drinking. - Mr. Wu, you still don’t know that my third brother and twenty brothers are all literary. Number one scholar, eldest brother, he is considered to be the number one scholar in martial arts. It is really rare to have a gathering today!" When people outside the door heard this, they had already rushed out, and soon they handed over several plates of cold dishes and a bottle of jade pot spring wine.Yin then gave up his hand and said: "Sit down, sit down! I heard that Third Brother and Mr. Wu were having a meeting, and I was very interested!"
Yinzhi smiled and said: "Mr. Wu, the fourth child, is really lovely! I have never seen the rival of the third child, but now I have opened my eyes!" Yinzhi also smiled and said: "Sure enough, Zuo Yu's name is worthy of his name. Xing, Zhao Taiming has really failed you. But I don’t believe you when you say that there are no absolutes in the world - last year when I was traveling to Xishan, a scholar named Che and a scholar named Qiao went up the mountain in a sedan chair. Mr. Chen Shengzhai made a couplet: Scholar Che Qiao and the other two are riding in the same sedan to climb a mountain - may I ask, are you compatible?"
"I also met something when I went to Shanzhou that year." Wu Sidao sat down and smiled slightly, "A man surnamed Ma and a businessman surnamed Lu rode a donkey across the river. So the joint words spoken by the third master can be Confrontation: Two merchants from Malu led a donkey to ford the water." After hearing this, several people felt that it was true, and they couldn't help but screamed.But Yin Zhi said again: "Then what about 'Yan Suo Pond Willow'? This is the eternal widower!"
Wu Sidao smiled and said: "What kind of widower's argument is this? Since there is smoke on the pond, the Zhenhu Tower must have lost water, so I will go up to the 'Shaotan Zhenhu Tower'. I think it is not bad." Everyone was savoring Shi Yin Someone nearby said loudly: "This wood is firewood - mountains and mountains are coming out!"
"From water to oil, risk every day!"
Everyone couldn't help but applaud and laugh, and Yin also got excited. He raised his glass and drank and said: "I'm not good at this. Last time Nian Gengyao said one word, only two words, and no one could answer it. Third brother and Mr. Sidao We are all experts, please tell me: Sex is difficult - what is it good for?"
"Is this - easy?" Wu Sidao raised his glass and took a sip, then said nothing.Seeing that Yinzhi was looking down at his withered intestines, Yin said, "Since it's easy, why don't you come out?" Seeing Yinzhi staring at him, Wu Sidao smiled and said, "I've already got it right. It's the word 'easy'. Is that right?" Don’t you want to cut it?”
Everyone laughed again. Seeing his agility, Yinzhi wanted to confuse him. He pointed to a painting on the wall and said, "This is Qiu Shizhou's "Hangu Pass". I'll take you!" Wu Sidao thought for a while, and said in response:
Xiongzhen Gujintang, eyeing the six kings.
The land swallows a hundred and more, and Zuo Jian is two weeks long.
Pheasant battlements remain strong, but there are few pills and mud.
Qingniu carried the guest on his back, and laughed all over Xianyang!
Before the sound of chanting finished, Yin pointed to the "Picture of Zhong Kui" on the wall and said hastily: "For this picture, you are not allowed to think about it and make up the topic with your mouth. You are not allowed to bring the Lord of Heaven and Earth to your teacher, and you are not allowed to quote the words of the saint. Say, hurry up! "
"A husband is a Jinshi, a ghost; a ghost is a Jinshi. One becomes two, and two become one!"
"Wonderful!" Yin couldn't help but cheer for the crime, and Yin Yinzhi also rubbed his hands and praised repeatedly: "It's strange that the fourth man doesn't joke with outsiders, so there is such a Jie Yi Po Yan guest at home!" When Yin turned around, he saw Gao Fuler, Kan'er and the dog. The son was also laughing outside on the porch. Knowing that it was the dog who had finished his business, he came in to answer the question and said, "What do you know? How do you behave in a chirping manner?"
Gao Fu'er hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "We have been here for a while. I heard that the men were so funny that I forgot about God. The dog also said a few words, called Kaner Dui!" Yin then asked the dog: "What's wrong with you?" What?"
"Smoke conservatory."
Everyone was stunned when he said this, even Wu Sidao couldn't think of what to do for a while, but saw Kan'er with a sleepy face, rubbing his nose and saying: "Fart warms the bed!"
Everyone burst into laughter immediately. Yinzhi laughed so hard that he leaned forward and backward. Yinzhi stopped laughing and rubbed his stomach while holding on to the back of the chair. Wu Sidao touched his chest and was just coughing. Even though Yinzhi usually had a cold face and a cold heart, he took a sip of wine on the floor. Sprayed all over the ground.
"I'm so happy tonight!" Yinzhi laughed for a while, stretched out his arms and said, "Is it the time of Xu? Third brother, we have built a long tent for thousands of miles, and the feast is over. It's time for us to go." Yinzhi shook Wu Sidao's hand. Holding his hands, he stood up and said, "I really should recommend you to take the exam. It's a pity that you have a disability and come to my house for a walk in your free time. There are many great scholars here, and everyone talks and laughs."
The smile on Yin's face immediately disappeared, but Wu Sidao put up his crutches and said with a smile: "Thanks to the kindness of the third master. But my brother is in poor health, so the fourth master rewarded him with the money and went back to the south the next day. A disabled person cannot be driven, so he is just a slave." It's just a joke. If I have the chance to come to Beijing again, I will definitely go to the third master's house to flatter him." After hearing what he said, Yin declined very gracefully. For fear of getting entangled in other things, he asked: "Do you two brothers have anything else to do? "
"Come to see you, it's nothing serious." Yin said, "My protégé Xiao Mancheng called you the ugly guy from Yunnan and brought him to Beijing. He even went to my place to cry a lot last night and wanted to beg for help. His account has a grace period of one and a half years - can you reward me for this?" Yinzhi looked at Yinzhi and knew that he must be talking about this kind of thing, so he smiled and said: "We'll see, what are the prince's regulations? . You don’t know the true face of Mount Lu, just because you are in this mountain!" As soon as Yinzhi heard this, he knew that the iron door latch was not easy to pull, so he stopped mentioning it and just smiled lightly.Yin Ye smiled and said, "I know that's what you said! We are also looking at the prince, just don't worry!" Everyone has gone, and only Yin and Wu Sidao are left in the room.The rain outside was still pattering, making the banana leaves bang. After a long time, Yinfang took a deep breath and said, "It just so happens that you catch the wind tonight, and I will catch the wind for you." .I wonder if you are used to living here?"
"It's okay." Wu Sidao sighed, and then Caiwen burst into laughter as if it had been a lifetime ago, and said in a deep voice: "I guess the fourth master already knows about my situation. Now I also know a little about the fourth master's situation. A confidant is enough, let alone how the fourth master treats me like this? The fourth master only needs to see that the cripple is still useful, and he will obey your orders. From now on, I will be the same as Dai Duo. "
"You are different from Dai Duo." Yin stared at the candlelight dimly, "I will treat you as a teacher!" Wu Sidao glanced at Yin in surprise, then lowered his eyelids and said, "I definitely don't dare to act like this. Not because of that. I am a commoner. I know that old Mr. Gu Badai was the first master of Fourth Master. Mr. Gu Badai and Jia Yan were of the same age. Who is this young man who dares to overstep his bounds? Fourth Master, if I want to live here peacefully, the word 'teacher' must be used. It's hard to bear it." Yin was silent for a long time and said: "In that case, I treat you as a friend. Sir, the country is unparalleled. Although I am not Lord Mengchang, I dare not abandon the due etiquette. The current situation of the country is declining, and it only has the name of prosperity. The hidden worries are also terrible. The burden I have taken is too heavy, and I am somewhat unable to do it, so I have to rely on your wisdom."
Wu Sidao sipped the tea, a blush slowly appeared on his face, his pupils were shining brightly under the candle, and suddenly dimmed again, and he said: "I originally had the ambition to help the world, but luck has failed me, and I have become so sluggish. This is Fate, luck, time, and numbers. I was already discouraged, and I didn’t want to do what the third master said. The reason for coming to Beijing this time was to marry Feng Gu, take her back to the south, and start a business. I was just a Tao Zhugong, but I didn't expect this to happen again! I've been here for several months, and I'm well-informed. Now I know that the fourth master's troubles are definitely not related to the errands of the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Officials. To use a sage's words, I am afraid of the Ji family's worries. Within the Xiao Qiang!" Yin trembled all over and almost spilled the tea in his hand. He stared at Wu Sidao for a long time and asked, "Did you hear something, sir?"
"You don't need to inquire about it." Wu Sidao's tone was as cold as ice, "If the capital is a good place, why would the fourth master and the thirteenth master bother to open the account department to avoid disaster in Anhui? Is it really for river control? Why would they rather stay here? Anhui raises its own money and refuses to reach out to the Ministry of Households?"
"You mean...?"
"The prince's position is unstable." Wu Sidao said, "The monarch and his ministers are suspicious, father and son are suspicious, and brothers are suspicious of each other. This is not a blessing to the country." Yin looked at Wu Sidao in surprise, a little dazed.Wu Sidao had discussed these words with Yin Xiang on and off, but he had never been so thorough and organized, and the root cause was clearly laid out in one fell swoop.When they moved, Yincai said: "There are indeed rumors in the capital now that the emperor wants to depose the prince. I came back and met with the emperor and the prince. It is different from what I heard and thought in Anhui. I am afraid that there are some villains who are causing trouble and alienating each other. The emperor and the prince are also unknown." Wu Sidao smiled and said: "The danger of the prince is like dew in the morning! The root cause is very far away. In the 36th year of Kangxi, the emperor went west to Qinghai, and the prince stayed in Beijing to deal with important military affairs in the rear. The emperor occasionally felt cold and traveled thousands of miles away. He called him to the front of the army all the way. At that time, he was already very worried about the prince! He went to the study room to ask for the prince's picture. In the 42nd year of Kangxi's reign, he gathered Geng Suotu to join the princeling party. They wanted to take advantage of the emperor's southern tour to help the prince ascend to the throne and put the emperor on the throne. The status of the Supreme Emperor. After the Dongchuang incident, Suo'etu was imprisoned. Although the prince was saved, does the emperor have no grudge against such a tragic change between father and son? Fourth Master, if the prince's backer is strong, why did he buy a manor today? A house from tomorrow? The world will be his one day, and he still wants to build a private nest? "
Yin chewed Wu Sidao's words and sighed: "He is just such a person. He has told me several times that life is short and you have to enjoy yourself in time. There is nothing you can do about such a prince."
"Oh, does Fourth Master think so?" Wu Sidao suddenly laughed loudly, "You are wrong! Xin Qiji's saying 'asking for land and asking for a house, fearing that he will be embarrassed to meet, Liu Lang is talented' specifically refers to the scholar-bureaucrats. The prince can also be counted as one He used a shady strategy to show the emperor that he has no ambitions!" This reminder had an enlightening effect on Yin Zhen. He shuddered all over and said with a smile with his teeth sticking out: "Father and son are so suspicious of each other. "Son, it's really heart-breaking! His method is considered well-intentioned, but it only makes it difficult for us who are on errands to clean up the officials and take care of his dignity..." As he said this, he just shook his head.Wu Sidao said: "If you meet an ordinary emperor, the prince's strategy is useful. However, the current emperor is a sage who came out every 500 years, so the best policy has become the worst policy. The emperor is old and tired of hard work, so he has to pay all the political affairs. The prince thought that he could take it up and let it go, but the fourth master thought about it. Measuring the land of the whole country was nothing; updating the tax system was nothing; renovating rivers and water transportation was a mess; cleaning up the household deficit, he was nothing. He is the number one debtor; there is fraud in the examination room, and he is unable to clean it up - the emperor's brothers saw his failure in politics, so they dared to take action against him - he was 'in harmony with the light', and people took advantage of it to complain. The emperor was even more unfaithful, and he became more and more frightened, becoming even more harmonious. How serious is this cycle? He already didn’t trust him. Isn’t this making matters worse? I heard that the emperor was visiting Rehe this year, and he changed his usual rules and asked him to Follow me, the guards of Yuqing Palace change every three months, what are these signs?"
Yin's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and suddenly he remembered Longkodo's appointment as the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture.Thinking that he and Yin Xiang were the prince's right and left arms in the eyes of everyone, he couldn't help wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.After a long time, Fang sighed: "Tonight is better than studying for ten years. However, after all, things have not happened, and we must try to save it. The prince and I are like brothers, and righteousness is like a monarch. At this moment, we must not add insult to injury. This road will go to the dark side." !”
"This road has to be taken." Wu Sidao nodded and said, "But it doesn't have to be dark, we have to wait and see. We have done our best, and it depends on destiny. If the prince can change his mind, change his ways, or can change his mind, that's it. Go down, if the crown prince is not dethroned within three years, the fourth master will judge me!" Yin stood up with excitement and paced quickly on the ground, but soon calmed down and sighed: "I didn't expect that I worked hard on errands and fell into the whirlpool. Now that the Ministry of Revenue is cleaning up the treasury, he owes a huge debt - 45! It is said that it will be paid at the end of the year, but it is not sure what will happen! Long live the day, and it must be completed before October Damn, now the millstone is clamping my hand!"
Wu Sidao was startled for a moment and asked, "Can the fourth master persuade the prince not to speak so bluntly, but to suppress it with the words of the long live master, please consider the overall situation and pay off the debt as soon as possible." "You don't know that my second brother," Yin huffed and said, "Looks gentle and weak, but in fact it's sticky and greasy on the teeth. He can't bear serious words. He makes insinuations. He pretends to be vague. Sometimes he makes people angry to death." Wu Sidao hesitated for a moment and gently lifted the teacup. Putting it down gently, he suddenly said: "45... is not a small number, and it is not a big deal!"
"What did you say?"
"I said, let's put it on the mat first!"
"Ah?" Yin Shi said in surprise, "Where can I get such a large amount of money for him? I have a salary of 8000 taels a year, and Zhuangzi is the least among the elder brothers... To discuss with Lao Ba and the others, isn't it like seeking the skin of a tiger? "
Wu Sidao put up his crutches, walked to the door and looked at the drizzle outside. After a long time, he said, "I can afford this money!" Yin was shocked and said with a slight stutter: "I already knew that you were from a Jiangnan family, but you actually So rich?"
"No." Wu Sidao shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "My family is only well-off, and I can't afford [-] yuan even if I have skin cramps. But this time I went to Beijing and got an unexpected fortune..." He took out something from his arms Holding it in his hand, he said, "Fourth Master, please look!"
Yin took a step closer and saw that Wu Sidao was holding an object the size of a hazelnut in his palm. It was green and bright, shining with colorful rays of light under the lamp. It was a gem. Yin said: "This is an emerald. It is worth the most." Fifty thousand silver…”
"Ten pieces are 50." Wu Sidao said with a smile, "Besides, there are not necessarily only ten pieces. According to my inference, there should be eighteen pieces, together with the rest of the jewelry, and their price should be more than 300 million. A mere 45 is not worth mentioning. If there is any other use in the future, Fourth Master will also be generous..." After hearing this, Yin was secretly shocked and asked: "Where can I get such a huge sum of money? I am not a person who can't live in a parasol tree, and can't drink from a cheap spring! Wu Sidao walked back to his chair and sat down, and said: "There are countless wealth without owners in the world. Since I have pledged myself to the Lord, I will share my worries as the Lord."
Yin didn't answer, just stared at Wu Sidao with questioning eyes.Wu Sidao said leisurely: "This wealth has been in Dajue Temple for a hundred years. If the Fourth Master does not take it, sooner or later, those bald donkeys will be advantaged. Only God knows about this matter. You know it and I know it-"
"And we know it too!"
Suddenly there was a burst of laughter outside the door, and both Yin and Wu Sidao were surprised.When I looked up, I saw an old monk wearing khaki cloth with white eyebrows and white beard walking in. The tutu behind him was Xingyin.The two monks were one civilized and one martial. The old one, Wenjue, specially accompanied Yin to receive eminent monks from all over the world, and presided over interactions with various Buddhist monasteries in Beijing. He was Yin's substitute monk.Xingyin lived in Niangan in the north of the mansion and trained his servants, bodyguards and disciples in martial arts.Seeing them coming in, Yin smiled and said: "Mr. Wu just scolded the bald donkey, and two monks came! From such a distance, can you hear Xingyin?" Monk Wenjue sat down and Xingyin said with a smile: "I There is a method of transmitting sound, and the study over there is less than a stone's throw away from here, so I can hear it clearly."
"My hobby is to search for strange things." Wu Sidao agreed and said calmly, "I stayed at Dajue Temple for a few days and read all the inscriptions in the temple. Because this temple was originally built by Li Yongzhen, the eunuch of the former Ming Dynasty, I stayed here I remember the record in "Xiao Feng Miscellaneous Notes" that Li Yongzhen, who led the construction of Wei Sheng Temple in the Ming Dynasty, made a statue of Wei Zhongxian with a crown and a scepter, just like an emperor... The statue was made of agarwood, with eyes, ears, mouth, nose, hands and feet resembling the same shape. A stranger. His belly and heart are all filled with gold, jewels and jade, and his clothes are gorgeous...'"
He eloquently recited it like flowing water, and everyone was already dumbfounded.However, Wu Sidao changed his tone and said: "Later, when I went to the shrine, I saw two wooden statues that had not been buried. They were quite similar to what was said in the records. They were old and stained with mud and smoke. Look, it was made in the fifth year of Tianqi, so I concluded that this must be the portrait of Wei Zhongxian. I dug out their eyes and found four emeralds. Three emeralds were buried in Dajue Temple, and one was carried with me. I just saw it." The three of them couldn't help but stare at the front of Wu Sidao's case, the gem was shining brightly, and it was actually placed there!Sexual voice still said naively: "Is there such a coincidence?"
"This is nothing more than a treasury. The fourth master is planning for the world, and it won't hurt integrity." Wu Sidao's eyes were shining, but his voice was still calm: "Wei Zhongxian is said to be nine thousand years old. According to reason, there should be nine statues. It was discovered by me that I had been buried for so many years. It was God-given to the fourth master! There must be seven more buried under the shrine. It is not difficult to do this at all. Gou'er and Kan'er were taken back without anyone noticing!" Wen Jue couldn't help praising: "Mr. is really a man! But the seven statues may have disappeared. I'm also a little unbelievable, why didn't the person who made the statue take it back that day? Go? There are so many monks in the temple, and I have not recognized them for more than 100 years!" "Not everyone can recognize the jade of Jingshan and the pearl of the snake!" Wu Sidao sighed, "The whole body of the wooden statue is paste with glutinous rice flour. , it was probably done by the people who made the statues or guarded the shrine at that time, but the Wei party lost power, the court searched for it very strictly, and those who knew it were killed before they could take it..."
These words were like sleep talk, but they were all analyzed in a meticulous manner. For a while, the study room was as quiet as a barren temple.After a long time, Xingyin threw arms and eyes, and said happily: "Fourth Lord, follow Mr. Wu's idea. Within three days, we will bring out all the treasures!"
Yin looked at Wu Sidao, he could not say anything.But I feel like my whole body is boiling, and the sour and hot air is boiling.After a long time, he nodded heavily and his voice became a little hoarse: "Sir, I have nothing to say. How can I repay you for treating me like this?"
"A scholar dies for a confidant, and a woman is for a person who pleases her." Wu Sidao replied quietly, "Baile treated me as a national scholar, how can I repay you as a miser?"
