There is no airtight wall in the world. Even a word said by Chongzhen in the inner courtyard of the palace may be heard by officials of all sizes within two hours. As a military minister, Sun Chengzong naturally has no secrets in his family's affairs. This also confirms that Sun Chengzong is indeed well versed in the way of virtual and real, and understands that the water is clear and there is no fish.

As the son of Yang He, the governor of the Three-Border Governor Yang He, the right assistant commander Yang Sichang was bullied, either big or small, it can be regarded as a guide to political disputes in the court, or as a joke after dinner. It can be said that both the elite and the masses appreciate it, so it spreads very quickly.

Similarly, kind-hearted people who can rush thunder with their bare hands also became famous. Some people even felt a little surprised and thrilled because they watched "Mo Hanzhai Zhiyi" and the two of them were combined: Could it be that the characters in the Zhiyi story are really not true?

With such a public opinion basis, in just a few days, His Majesty the Emperor issued an order to summon honest people to the palace to meet.

Although some civil officials smelled a trace of ominous smell, saying that this was a replay of the rhythm of Shizong's admiration of Taoism and destroying the country. However, it is undeniable that the profession of Taoism cannot be avoided in important national activities. For example, many officials in charge of music and music in the Ministry of Rites all act as the profession of "Taoist", let alone institutions like the Daolusi of Taichang Temple with a strong religious atmosphere.

Moreover, since Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he has been suffering from natural disasters, praying for sunshine and rain, praying for illness and eliminating disasters, and Taoist priests have been taking action. However, Chongzhen was not as obsessed with becoming an immortal like his grandfather, so there was no other Taoist priests among these Taoist priests who were favored for decades, which made the civil officials of the foreign court feel threatened.

Some people also say that this magical magic is great and should not be easily let him go to the throne of the Holy Emperor. However, the opponent just asked softly: Can the true emperor suppress the fake Taoist?

As for whether the kind-hearted people will really assassinate the emperor, most civil officials don’t mind much. On the contrary, there are many people who hope that the emperor will have an accident. Now, the crown prince of Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Cilang, is only two years old and is from a poor family of the Zhou family. If the young emperor ascends the throne, it will inevitably be another spring for the civil servant group for eighteen years.

...

Two days before the appointment, officials of the Ministry of Rites and eunuchs from the inner court came to explain the etiquette of the audience to Qian Yiqun. They were never allowed to stare at the emperor to not fart, and their every move was full of all kinds of bizarre requests. As a distinguished guest of the prime minister's mansion, Qian Yiqun naturally did not need to practice repeatedly like a small person, just watch it.

Even so, Qian Yiqun felt deeply bored, and he occasionally went out of the magical objects and practiced inside.

Finally, when it was the day of the meeting, Sun Chengzong had already prepared a sedan chair, but Qian Yiqun insisted on riding a deer over. This was not for the sake of being innovative, but purely because the sedan chair was hard and small, so it was really uncomfortable to sit.

Sun Chengzong did not force himself, summoned the horses and accompanied Qian Yiqun to meet him all the way. When he reached his level, meeting the emperor was just a matter of handing over a sign. As a veteran of the three dynasties and the imperial master of the two dynasties, Chongzhen would never refuse to see this Master Sun.

Because it was not a formal court meeting, the procedure was relatively simple. The group entered the Forbidden City and headed straight to the Imperial Garden. It seemed that the emperor was in a good mood today and was interested in walking outdoors.

Because he took Sun Ge Lao's money, the eunuch who accompanied him had to take care of Qian Yiqun: "When walking with the emperor, you must bow your back, but you cannot be hunched. You must walk cleanly, but you cannot be fast. You must look at the road, but you cannot be too far. You must always fall one step behind the emperor. Do you remember?"

"What's the reason for you to be so cautious?" Qian Yiqun nodded and asked the eunuch.

"Scared! What are you saying? Your Majesty is the Holy Emperor, God's eldest son!" The eunuch widened his eyes, "You dare to disrespect Your Majesty?"

"I dare not, don't dare." Qian Yiqun smiled and ignored him again.

The eunuch was boring and stopped talking.

After leaving, Qian Yiqun realized what the emperor's garden was. If it were placed in Wu County, the county town might not be able to accommodate it. Sun Chengzong was already old and inspected the north at the beginning of the year with illness. After returning, he had not received a good rest and had sweated.

Qian Yiqun reached out and grabbed his spiritual aggregate and sent him a little, which made the old man's spirit feel much better.

"Thank you." Sun Chengzong whispered.

Qian Yiqun did not answer. He could not speak casually at the emperor's house. However, he was more shocked because Sun Chengzong did not awaken Lingyun!

This master of the genius is a complete ordinary person. He can become the chief military strategist, the second place in the imperial examination, the auxiliary minister of the cabinet... there is no room for convincing things.

"Your Majesty is right in front of you." The eunuch stopped, "Look, he is waving to let you go."

Qian Yiqun looked at the young emperor wearing a bright yellow and dark dragon pattern robe and a black hat. It can be seen that the emperor, who had just celebrated his 20th birthday, had a very hard work, his face was tired, his skin was dry, and a little silvery flashed between his hair. He actually had a premature hair.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, this is too much thought.

From a metaphysical point of view, this is the spiritual aggregate that is not enough to nourish the body.

Qian Yiqun was one step behind Sun Chengzong and followed him forward.

Sun Chengzong bowed and shouted: "Your Majesty."

Qian Yiqun also raised his palms to his chest and bowed.

This made the eunuch so anxious that he wanted to shout the word "kneel". He really didn't understand why he learned nothing. Now that he saw the real dragon, he even forgot to kneel!

Qian Yiqun had never forgotten it. Seeing that Sun Chengzong did not kneel, there were so many people present, he only knelt alone, which was so embarrassing!

Sun Chengzong glanced at Qian Yiqun with his light and said intimately: This man is indeed calm and composed. He looks indifferent when he sees the emperor.

Chongzhen looked at Qian Yiqun and was stunned for a moment, and then he said to himself: You are such a traitor! Master Sun is the mentor of me and the emperor's brother, and he is a veteran of three dynasties, so he doesn't worship you. Why are you so arrogant?

Seeing Chongzhen frowned slightly, Qian Yiqun thought to himself: Yo, it seems that the emperor has been unhappy. But by the way, he is only twenty years old and looks as old as me.

Oh, yes, Qian Yiqun accidentally committed the crime of looking directly at the emperor again.

The eunuch there wished he could hit him and die on the ground: I didn’t listen to this Taoist master when he learned etiquette!

"Are you a kind person in the ambition?" Chongzhen returned to the imperial chariot and sat down, and ordered someone to give Sun Chengzong a seat and put Qian Yiqun there alone.

"I am a really kind person, but I don't know what my ambition looks like." Qian Yiqun thought to himself: It seems that the first impression is bad! Alas, forget it, I heard that Emperor Chongzhen was very poor and I didn't expect any reward.

"Are you still the head of the Shenxiao Sect?" Chongzhen asked with his eyes narrowed.

"This..." Qian Yiqun paused slightly and said to himself: This is probably what Sun Yu had heard. Confucius said that a single pink is better than a thousand black people, so I will not bully you!

"Not yet," Qian Yiqun said, "Only by inheriting the law lineage, the destiny of heaven will come down, and the ministers dare to act according to their orders."

"Oh... I heard that Tao Zhongwen was also a Taoist priest of the Shenxiao Sect during the Shi Temple." Chongzhen looked at Sun Chengzong and saw that he had no intention of speaking, he continued, "Do you also practice elixirs?"

"I understand a little bit." Qian Yiqun said, "But there are differences between the alchemy paths inside and outside. Taking lead and mercury to achieve immortality, the empress do not take it."

Chongzhen leaned forward and asked with interest: "Isn't your statement arbitrarily and deceiving his masters and destroying his ancestors?"

"No," Qian Yiqun shook his head, "The way of heaven sets up teachings to benefit the people. In the Xuanmen, there are indeed many masters who refine alchemy for their own immortality and enlightenment, and are even called ancestors. However, the poor ministers think that it is just a personal behavior, not a law of the world, and not a law of the future generations."

Chongzhen's face flushed when he heard this and thought to himself: This Taoist is a knowledgeable person! If the ancestors say it is absolutely right, what else do we descendants do?

"After all, the words are not right, and the ancestors' methods cannot be easily abandoned." Although Chongzhen was determined to break the laws of those ancestors, he was always a little guilty. He deliberately said this just to hear what this young Taoist said.

"I think," Qian Yiqun said, "It's nothing more than the eight characters of 'Follow the clarity of the clan and learn from the ancients and not stick to the ancients'. As long as you master the fundamentals and understand the original heart of your ancestors, you may not necessarily have to look at the ancient methods at once."

Chongzhen said to Sun Chengzong with a slight head, "Master Sun, this Taoist man has some knowledge. Xunzong and Mingyi are not obsessed with learning from ancient times. Not bad, very good!"

Sun Chengzong smiled slightly, but did not speak, but he had already used these eight characters in his heart to annotate his "reward strategy".

The ancestors weakened the power of military generals because they were afraid of the disaster of the vassal states during the Tang Dynasty. However, they looked at the original intentions to achieve peace in the country and not cause trouble. Now Jiannu has rebelled against the emperor and became emperor, and disasters are born in chaos. Naturally, they should change according to the world and not be restricted.

Follow the clan and understand the meaning of the ancients without being muddy!

Well said!

Sun Chengzong was quite proud of himself. It was worth recommending this Taoist today.

"What kind of Taoist master has?" Chongzhen was even more interested.

"The Tao is revealed by art, which is a vulgar and villain. Your Majesty is the emperor, so you shouldn't ask this." Qian Yiqun smiled and shook his head.

"The Taoist priest's words are like those geniuses who cover up their own guise of not using magic." Chongzhen said sharply.

"Your Majesty Rong Bing," Qian Yiqun stood up straight, "If I cannot tell the truth, how can I stand here and talk big, not be surprised or afraid, and be calm and calm when I visit the real dragon?"

Chongzhen was stunned, then understood, patted the armrest and laughed, "You, a Taoist priest who is making jokes, have to flatter me and praise myself! I will ask you, aren't Taoist afraid of death?"

"Scared!" Qian Yiqun said simply and clearly.

"oh?"

"Because you are afraid of death, you are happy to live. Because you are happy to live, you can eliminate terrible delusions and realize the principle of unity of life and death, so that you can avoid dying." Qian Yiqun said, "Since ancient times, those who hate death are young, those who are afraid of death live. Therefore, the Taoist ancestor said: If you dare not dare, you will live. It can be used as evidence."

Chongzhen only read with Tianqi when he left the palace to give lectures. If Emperor Tianqi had not been very friendly with his younger brother, the vassal kings would not be allowed to study. Therefore, although Chongzhen was talented and taught by Sun Chengzong, Wen Zhenmeng and other experts, his knowledge was somewhat shallow.
