To Rule in a Turbulent World

Chapter 104 Volume 3 Man Jianghong

You Miao's seat was empty, presumably it belonged to the emperor, Li Yan took the first seat on the right hand, and did not meet You Miao's eyes, the second seat was the second place in the imperial examination, also dressed in brocade robes, but his skin was rough, dark, quite There is a sense of wind and sun.

It is expected that he came from a poor family in Xichuan.At the bottom is a row of second-class Jinshi, and Qin Shaonan from the Ministry of Rites is also on the list. He slightly nodded at You Miao, and You Miao went to his seat after the ceremony, chatting with the second place without saying a word.The two parties exchanged names, and the second place name was Chen Qing. After You Miao asked a few words, she found out that she was also from a famous family!Although Chen Qing's family has been farming for generations, they are descended from the ancestor of Chen Tuan.You Miao couldn't help being awed, and asked a few words, but found that the No. [-] spoke very strangely, saying that he looked like an outsider, but not necessarily, hesitating and stammering.It is said that his heart is concerned with the world, and all he talks about is Huang Lao's alchemy, which makes You Miao dumbfounded. "The harvest is not good this year."

You Miao sighed: "From Sichuan to Liuzhou Yangzhou... I'm afraid there will be famine again." "The world is not benevolent and treats all things as dogs."

Chen Qing said: "Sometimes God...doesn't care about your world. , die without regret..."

"Yes." You Miao looked devout and taught, scolding this guy's mother in her heart.

Chen Qing smiled, and asked Li Yan: "What do you think, Brother Li?"

"Hehe." Li Yanpi twitched the corners of his mouth with a nonsense smile, and he didn't even feel like talking nonsense to him. You Miao's face was horrible, knowing that Chen Qing must have voted for Emperor Tianqi's heart, and when he talked about the Taoism The title of the gold list of technical talents.After chatting for a few words, You Miao didn't talk much anymore, so he chatted with the Jinshi on the right, who was respectful.After a while, the chatter in the garden fell silent, everyone got up one after another, and Emperor Tianqi came.

Emperor Tianqi is 61 years old. He has just passed his sixtieth year. He is usually obsessed with calligraphy and painting. The Taoist priest, the emperor is not like the emperor, he said a few words on the scene, and then asked the officials to sit down.

"Mid-Autumn Festival, dear friends, please feel free to have fun."

Apocalypse Emperor Zhao Mao smiled amiably.When the maid came to serve the dishes, You Miao couldn't help but look at Zhao Mao a few more times, thinking this is the emperor?It's also the first time I've seen the emperor, doesn't he look like the prince and Zhao Chao?It seems to be a little bit like that.

Emperor Tianqi only talked casually with Li Yan, but he was very interested in Chen Qing.Zhao Mao: "I saw in your article that you talked about the way of gaining heaven. Who taught you these things?"

Chen Qing said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I learned what I learned from a Taoist priest outside the world when I was young on the Qingfeng of Hengshan Mountain in my hometown." You Miao listened to the emperor's answer with the second place, but he was absent-minded. There was still a vacant seat beside him, but no one came to that vacant seat.Whose position is it?You Miao turned to look at the other two seats, but Zhao Chao didn't come.Most of this position belongs to Zhao Chao.Zhao Mao stroked his beard thoughtfully, and said, "How old is this person?" Chen Qing said respectfully, "Return to Your Majesty, when I left Hengshan, Master was already 130 years old."

Everyone at the banquet was moved at the same time, and You Miao couldn't help asking: "Is there anyone in the world who can live to such an advanced age?" You Miao didn't doubt Chen Qing, but when these words were heard by several people, they seemed suspicious Yes, Chen Qing said: "Less worries and desires, follow the way of heaven, and live without doing anything... Naturally, you can live a long life. But... how old you live, how you live, there is nothing to compare with.

For example...well, for example, mayflies live and die in the morning and evening, and they are also the common people in the world. Could it be--worse than the tortoise and crane?Of course not. " Zhao Mao pondered for a while, then smiled and said: "It makes sense. This is the true meaning of Taoism. There is no need to force how old you live.Are you You Miao? You Miao hurriedly said: "My minister is a person from Liuzhou, You Miao You Ziqian." "

Zhao Mao remembered, looked at the left side of the banquet, the Imperial College scholar, the old man nodded slowly, Zhao Mao asked You Miao again: "I have seen your family history, your family is in the south of the Yangtze River, and you are also a big family. Palace The tribute tea in the tea is all produced in Biyu Villa." You Miao thought to himself why Zhao Chao didn't come yet?Forget it, since you asked, why don't you just follow along.You Miao said: "I left home since I was a child, studied in the capital for a few years, and then went back. Now I am at odds with my father and was kicked out of the house."

"Oh?"

Zhao Mao smiled and said: "As a child, one must be filial at the knees of your parents. I think your rhetoric has the vigor of Sun Yu. He is old and hot, and you are a newborn calf with a lofty heart. It’s true, but it’s a bit of a sense of righteousness, how could it be reduced to the point of being kicked out by your father?” You Miao sighed, but Li Yan said with a smile: “Your Majesty doesn’t know something, You Ziqian was in Beijing in the past, and he was with the minister. After playing around for a few years, when he went home, he was almost taken away from his position as the son-in-law. Thanks to the villa left behind by his mother during her lifetime, the annual output was enough for him to study and spend. It's not easy." Zhao Mao's face changed when he heard it, and he said, "What's the matter? How can even the son-in-law be abolished? You Miao, please explain carefully, if there is any injustice, I will make the decision for you!" Li Yan With a smile in his eyes, he signaled to You Miao that yes, You Miao secretly thought that Li Yan, you boy is cruel enough, so he picked some things and talked with Zhao Mao carefully, including his parents, and later the eldest brother, and Shen garden.In the end, he said that his father never liked his own affairs because of his mother.

You Miao smiled and said, "I still have to rely on myself." Zhao Mao was slightly surprised when he heard it, and after thinking about it, he seemed to be aroused by something, and he let out a long sigh.

Zhao Mao: "One night husband and wife, one hundred days of kindness, your mother is also your father's married couple, how can you be so disregarding of kindness? Even if your parents are against each other, what is wrong with you as a child?" You Miao said: "Now the family Speaking of the two sons-in-law, I have no intention of arguing with my eldest brother, and I am not all focused on farming. I bought a loyal servant in the capital back then, and I was fortunate to have him with me. Over the years, I have gradually come here , I want to ask His Majesty for a favor, to get rid of his slave status and become a citizen." Zhao Mao snorted coldly and said, "This matter is easy to talk about, and I will allow you to ask for a word, but your father, Disregarding the rites of sages and sages, the difference between mother and son, the ruler of heaven and earth, relatives and teachers, are all ignored, and even such things are done?!"

On the contrary, You Miao was horrified, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, calm down, calm down." Zhao Mao said: "It's lawless! If you don't go out, just like your father, two regular wives and two legitimate sons, aren't they all messed up? ?

Tell me, Huang Qing..." "Your Majesty calm down. "Na Guozijian University scholar comforted: "This matter is indeed inconsistent with etiquette, and it can be done by the magistrate of Liuzhou. ""Well. "Zhao Mao nodded slowly. Jinshi were talking in a low voice, but when Zhao Mao got angry, they didn't know the reason. Stopped and looked, You Miao didn't speak loudly before, so no one heard him.

Although the Apocalypse Dynasty said that it was effective from top to bottom, Zhao Mao believed in it, and he was quite a bit of the spirit of the whole people, and he was in the style of governing by doing nothing.However, the ancestral etiquette is deeply rooted and has lasted for thousands of years, and it is still unshakable.When it comes to etiquette, even the Tian family dare not say no, You Dechuan's move is purely whimsical, tantamount to treason and immorality, disregarding the rules of etiquette, how can Zhao Mao not be angry?
