National Division

According to the records in the history books of the Sheng Dynasty, Emperor Zhengye relied heavily on the national teacher Xiuming throughout his life.This national teacher has a long life with a childlike face, and he has maintained a magnificent posture throughout his life.If it is only based on appearance, it is quite lucky, but there is no mention of this matter in the history books. Gain Guoshi not only extended the life of the empress dowager, but also saved the emperor from death several times .It can be said that without Xiuming Guoshi, Emperor Zhengye would die young, and he would never have the opportunity to build up the great achievements of the Siyi and unify the country, let alone the 50-year prosperity.

About how many times the national teacher saved the emperor, this matter is not very clear in the history books.There is at least one testable time, that is, when the emperor quelled the southeast Ye clan's rebellion, he suffered fatal typhoid fever and was rescued by the national teacher.In addition, there are some unofficial histories that said that after the chaos was put down, the national teacher also rescued the emperor once during the earthquake in Huishui County.However, there is no record about this incident in the official history. It only says that the national teacher "wanted to retire after success, but the emperor forbade him. He went to Huishui County to pursue him and returned, and he would never say goodbye for life."

As for the earthquake in Huishui County, the history books say that it was a natural disaster. Only because Emperor Zhengye and the National Teacher were both in Huishui County, the earthquake was subdued and the catastrophe was averted. The prosperous age, and the peaceful days that followed for 20 years.

Of course, the historian did not know the ins and outs of the earthquake in Huishui County, even the guards who followed Emperor Zhengye to Huishui County to recover the national teacher did not know the same.

In fact, even the guards didn't quite understand how the emperor showed up with the national teacher.They just saw the emperor being thrown off his horse when the ground shook, and then disappeared into a big pit. By the time they passed, the pit had already collapsed.They dug and dug, but when the earth shook and the mountains shook, the more they dug, the more they dug and collapsed. It was simply beyond human power.To be honest, at that time all the guards were already preparing to be executed after returning to the capital.

Just when everyone was wondering whether to slay their own swords now to avoid harming their families, or to return to the capital and arrange for their families to die for the emperor, another bang came from the ground, shaking everyone to the ground again.I thought it was an aftershock, but then the ground stopped moving, but the sound of boulders rolling down came from a distance.When everyone followed the sound, they found that the emperor and the national teacher were standing side by side on the top of the hill—oh, to be precise, it was the emperor standing on the top of the hill with the national teacher in his arms.

At that time, His Majesty's clothes were disheveled - of course, this is normal, he can still survive after being buried in the ground, so what is disheveled clothes?At least the emperor is still wearing clothes, and the national teacher—the national teacher is wearing the emperor's robe. As for what is wearing inside, the guards didn't see it, and they didn't dare to look at it, because the national teacher was held horizontally by the emperor. Her slender legs were all exposed, and she had a pair of bare feet.Now that the calves are exposed, what about the thighs?How about further up?

The guards lowered their heads very tactfully, and even more sensibly, the leader of the guards kowtowed to plead guilty and admitted that the escort was not good enough, and at the same time took off his coat.How many dull ones are still thinking that the leader is planning to make a plea immediately?I saw people handing over the coats they had taken off, and then taking off their pants.

You don't need to take off your pants to apologize, do you?The slow one is still thinking about it, and there are already some who react quickly, and then start to take off.

That's it, I put together a suit of clothes for the national teacher, of course the effect after wearing it - the guards are all tall and big, and their clothes put on the national teacher like an opera costume.Fortunately, everyone was wearing close-fitting clothes. If they were ordinary robes, they might be able to directly put the national teacher in them.

This incident has also become a laughing stock for Zhibai, at least in the future Qi Jun will laugh when he thinks about it, as for the guards, they will burn incense if the emperor returns safely, who cares about laughing.

"What's going on?" After getting into the carriage, Qi Jun couldn't help asking, "I'm still confused up to now, why was the stone lifted all of a sudden, and what sent us up to On the top of the mountain?"

Zhibai was still struggling with the too long sleeves, desperately trying to pull them up, and tilted his head and smiled when he heard this: "Your Majesty guess!"

In the darkness at that time, Qi Jun only felt a faint golden light emerge in front of his eyes, as if a round seed had fallen into a spring, and then Zhibai asked him to close his eyes, only to feel the white light in front of him was brilliant, piercing people's imagination. I can't even open my eyes.It seemed that something rushed out of the spring, forcefully tossing the boulder above their heads aside, causing a new round of vibrations in the cave, and the gravel and soil collapsed one after another.

But none of these hurt Qi Jun. At that time, he held Zhibai tightly with both hands, and he felt that something was holding him up, and there seemed to be something covering his head, only some dirt and sand fell on him. It's just on the face.Instead, there were crackling sounds coming from above. Finally, he felt the breeze blowing on his face, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already standing on the top of the mountain.Behind him was a huge crack, as if the entire cliff had been split open, and finally collapsed and poured into the Ascending Immortal Valley, filling a valley to the brim. As long as any creature was bigger than a mouse, it would be impossible to enter.In other words, the Ascension to Immortal Valley has never existed again.

"It's a bit like a tree..." Qi Jun racked his brains to think, "But how can a tree grow so fast? And—what about a tree?" After he stood on the top of the hill, he didn't see any trees.

Zhibai grinned: "Of course it's not a real tree." He pointed to his own celestial spirit, "This is born of the inner alchemy, the emperor may be called a 'knowledge tree'." People have the sea of ​​consciousness, and this tree is Born in the sea of ​​consciousness, it is called the tree of knowledge.

"Inner alchemy?" Qi Jun's expression changed suddenly, "You used inner alchemy? No wonder your face turned pale, I thought it was because of not seeing the sun for a long time in the cave!"

Zhibai smiled: "Well, I used the inner alchemy. The power of all things is greater than that of seeds. The power of their germination and growth is invincible even if the King Kong Giant Spirit is invincible. I am willing to break the inner alchemy. What is a cave? Of course Well, there is also the beneficial effect of His Majesty's Dragon Essence - but now, I have neither Yuan Ying nor inner alchemy, and the Niwan Palace is also broken, whether I can practice in the future is unknown..."

Qi Jun heard what he said about the dragon essence, and before he could blush, he heard him say that he lost this and broke that, and suddenly he lost all embarrassment, and asked in surprise: "What's missing? Why can't you practice?" ?”

Zhibai spread his hands together: "There's nothing left! I'm for His Majesty, I really—" At this point, the sleeves slipped down again, and quickly rolled up again.

Qi Jun was taken aback by him, and grabbed him: "What? What do you mean 'everything is gone'? You, aren't you—" Looking up and down, he was afraid that he would say something that was about to die.

Zhibai was trying to scare him, but when he saw that Qi Jun's face was ashen, but the blood on his lips was gone, he was really frightened, regretted it in his heart, and forced his words back: "First break the Yuanying and then break the inner alchemy , I have exhausted my practice for more than ten years, and I am afraid that there will be no further improvement in the future. Hmm——Maybe it would be better if His Majesty could double practice with me a few more times?"

"You—" Qi Jun glared at him, wishing he could push him on the seat and give him a good spanking!Just now he was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out of his throat, do you know!

But the hand was raised, and finally dropped gently.Qi Jun rubbed Zhibai's messy hair vigorously: "From now on, I will accompany you in double cultivation every day!"

The emperor speaks well and speaks well, and he must do what he says.Since that day, the concubines in the harem have never seen the emperor Yulu again.

Of course, outsiders don't know about this matter, not even the Tongshi Bureau, which is in charge of recording the emperor's daily life.Emperor Gein would still stay in the palace of his concubines, but according to the history books, Emperor Zhengye was "imposing", and the inner eunuchs recorded by Tongshi Bureau never dared to enter the inner palace, so they don't know what happened inside It is nothing but a record in the history that the emperor stayed in the palace of a certain concubine on a certain day.As for whether there was any upside down this night - no wonder which concubine would go outside to publicize that the emperor didn't touch her last night?Isn't that a slap in the face?

In the eighth year of Zhengye, the emperor decreed that because there was no child in the palace, the eldest son of King Jin was brought into the palace to be raised.

There is also a folk saying that if there is no child in the family, if there is a child to raise, maybe they will bring the child, and this method is really very useful, and many families have children because of it of.Therefore, it is logical for the emperor to make this decree.

But in the eyes of people who are quite savvy about politics, the eldest son of King Jin did not come to bring luck to the emperor's sons and daughters, but to be a proton.

The first four sons of the first emperor, the eldest son, Emperor Zhengye, has already ascended the throne; the second son, King Ping, was suppressed from the rebellion, and even his family was wiped out, and he has completely disappeared from this world; the fourth son is still young, and the eight years since Emperor Zhengye ascended the throne , enough to teach him to be a law-abiding, mediocre and incompetent idle prince; only the third son of the emperor, King Jin, has both fiefdom and sons and daughters, isn't he a thorn in Emperor Zhengye's eyes?

This was not only spread by people in the capital, but even Jin Wang and his wife believed it to be true, so they had to send the eldest son away crying.When King Jin was about to personally write a letter to express his loyalty, he received a secret decree from Emperor Zhengye.

The content of this secret decree was gradually revealed many years after Emperor Zhengye abdicated.The emergence of this secret decree overturned the record in the official history that the biography of Emperor Zhengye was located at his nephew.

According to the official history, Emperor Zhengye was childless all his life, and seeing that the eldest son of King Jin had accomplished all six arts, he had the heart to pass on the throne.But only the Prince Jin couple who read the secret decree knew that when Emperor Zhengye took his eldest son away, he had already decided to make him the crown prince.It's just that Emperor Zhengye was still young at that time, and the concubines in the palace were still young, and there were various forces in the court staring at their daughters to have sons. If the eldest son of King Jin was made the crown prince at this time, he would immediately become the target of public criticism.

Therefore, Emperor Zhengye brought the eldest son of King Jin into the palace as a hostage, and said to the outside world that this is the eldest grandson of the emperor, he should be taught carefully, and he personally invited a master of civil and military affairs for him.At that time, everyone thought that the emperor was just trying to cover up the fact that he had taken his nephew as a hostage to gain a good reputation, and no one took it to heart.

Ten years later, Emperor Zhengye still had no son, but the eldest son of King Jin had grown into a good boy with both civil and military skills.The empress dowager passed away, the concubines in the harem had all passed a good age, and the power in the court was almost rectified by Emperor Zhengye. Then, Emperor Zhengye appointed his nephew as the prince, and immediately took the prince to the northwest , Go to fight Beijie.

In this battle, Sheng Chao won a complete victory.

In fact, there is nothing strange about it. Although the battle seems to have only been fought for six months, Emperor Zhengye has prepared for it for ten years.Six months later, Beijie lost six-tenths of its army, retreated a thousand miles, and retreated to their royal court, while the army of the Sheng Dynasty occupied the continuous and majestic Heiyun Mountain.

Heiyun Mountain is densely forested for thousands of miles, with narrow mountain roads and steep passes, easy to defend but difficult to attack.The Sheng Dynasty occupied the pass of Heiyun Mountain, which was tantamount to cutting off the way for Beijie to invade the border pass of the Sheng Dynasty. As long as the pass was not lost, there would be no problem with at least 50 years of stable life thereafter.

Before the expedition, some ministers also objected. One objected to the emperor’s own conquest, and the other objected to the emperor’s taking the prince with him, because if the war was unfavorable, the emperor’s prince would be taken away, and there would be no leader in the prosperous dynasty. There is only one empress who has been relocated to the cold palace to use fart!

As a result, the emperor didn't listen.According to the emperor, the prince had to go through the storm, so let him go to see the battlefield and see how the soldiers fought for the stability of the country. In the future, he will know how to govern the country more seriously and carefully.

In the end the emperor won.The prince was very courageous, not only was he not frightened by those bloody scenes, but he was eager to try, wishing he could mount a horse and behead a few Beijie people.

As soon as Beijie retreated, the emperor immediately turned to Dongdi with the prestige of a great victory.Dongdi's combat power is not as good as that of Beijie, but it only relies on the deep forests and dense forests in the northeast mountains.It's just that the army of the Sheng Dynasty came too fast, and before the royal family of Dongdi could retreat, they were already approached by soldiers. They had to surrender their entire family, and were placed in the southeast to "enclose". Since then, there will be no Dongdi kingdom.

This battle lasted less than a year. The northern Jie was expelled and the Eastern Di was wiped out. The remaining Yi people in the southwestern land did not wait for the emperor to do anything.So far, Siyi has been pacified, the country is stable, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment from now on.

Afterwards, Emperor Zhengye remained on the throne for four years in order for the crown prince to gradually take over state affairs and learn to be an emperor.In the 23rd year of Zhengye, Emperor Zhengye abdicated, and the prince succeeded to the throne, named Jicheng.Successor Emperor Cheng’s biological parents, Prince Jin and his wife, were enfeoffed, but they lived in the fief all their lives, and occasionally went to Beijing to see their son during Chinese New Year, and then hurried back to the fief, leaving no 01: 30 chances of impeachment.

As for the abdicated Emperor Zhengye, it seems that he disappeared without knowing it.

According to historical records, after Emperor Zhengye abdicated, he no longer interfered with state affairs, and lived in the observatory all day long, as if he was cultivating immortality.

As far as Emperor Zhengye's father is concerned, he is a master who believes in Buddhism and obsesses with golden core, but Emperor Zhengye doesn't believe in these things, so the idea of ​​cultivating immortals always feels unreliable.But as soon as he abdicated, he lived in the observatory and hung out with the national teacher Xiuming all day long. This is not a lie.Therefore, the historian had no choice but to record it as: the emperor entered the observatory and never left.It's hard to say exactly what's going on inside.

Then, when Emperor Jicheng managed the country well, Emperor Zhengye disappeared.The official history said that he lived in seclusion, and the unofficial history said that he became a fairy, and some people even secretly speculated whether he was snapped by Emperor Chengcheng.

Emperor Jicheng didn't come out to refute the rumors, but just went up and down every day, handling state affairs as usual.After about a year, these rumors gradually subsided, but other news came out: some people said that they saw Emperor Zhengye and the national teacher in Shandong, and the national teacher was praying for rain at that time; , very much like Emperor Zhengye and the Imperial Teacher; even within a day, the two places were thousands of miles apart, and in one place, the Emperor and the Imperial Advisor went boating in the morning, and in the other place, the Emperor and the Imperial Advisor had a picnic.

And then... the news gradually disappeared.Because after the establishment of Emperor Cheng, the selection of concubines, and the birth of children, a new round of succession of the throne will begin again, and people's attention is always more easily attracted by new things. Two symbols in pile of old papers.Talk about fairy things with others, the past is gone and cannot be chased...

The author has something to say: ah, ah, it's finally over.
