Chapter 049, Chi'er was appointed as the title of Yunqiwei, Xiaolang was promoted to the title of Duke of Nanlu

Anyone who is familiar with the war should know that as the head coach, you must grasp the overall situation and cannot judge the local victory or defeat. Without Pei Xingjian's design to stabilize Ashina Funian, how could Cheng Wuxing have made a surprise attack? Moreover, now the court is discussing rewards, but Pei Yan opens his mouth to tell the head coach's faults, and even Mei Xiaolang finds it strange. What makes him even more strange is that the emperor did not denounce Pei Yan, and issued an order to only appoint Pei Xingjian as Wenxi County Duke.

After hearing the title, Mei Xiaolang looked at Pei Yan and suddenly understood something in his heart. I am afraid that Pei Yan had already received the queen's suggestion, so he spoke like that. Pei Xingjian had too much influence in the army. Many generals with military power came from his disciples. If he wins this battle, he will be rewarded with great prestige and will be suspected of being highly praised.

At present, the emperor is old and weak, and the court throne is about to change. Pei Xingjian is like holding military power. At that time, he needs to get his support to support the new emperor. The queen does not want to see such a situation. Now she wants to cut off Pei Xingjian's power, so she can only let Pei Yan jump out and find an excuse that is not an excuse. After discussing military merits, she began to discuss how to deal with the prisoners. As Mei Xiaolang expected, Pei Xingjian's opinion was rejected.

The victory of this battle was mainly because Pei Xingjian designed that Ashina Funian and Ashide Wenfu's two divisions attacked themselves. Funian was forced to obey Pei Xingjian's orders and suddenly turned against Wenfu and surrendered to the army. If this was not the case, even if the army could win, at least tens of thousands of casualties would have to be paid. On the way back to the court, Pei Xingjian had already assured Funian that he would have left his life at that time. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has been no history of killing Dai Sui and making meritorious contributions.

Pei Xingjian asked the emperor to keep Fu Nian's life, but Pei Yan replied again: "Funian had no intention of surrendering, but was robbed of his wife's supplies by Cheng Wuting, and he had no choice but to do anything at the end of the road. Besides, he was a fickle villain. He had previously used a trick of surrender to defeat Cao Huaishun's army. If he did not kill him today, he would eventually be a disaster. The Turks had been in chaos for a long time, and he should be beheaded his chief to shock him and promote the prestige of our Celestial Empire."

The emperor followed Pei Yan's plan and killed Fu Nian and Wen Fu together. Pei Yan gained the upper hand in the court battle. When Fu Nian died, Pei Xingjian was untrustworthy and also a great blow to his prestige. Afterwards, he said that he sighed privately: "I owe Fu Nian a life, and there may be disasters in the border." After Pei Xingjian retired from the court, he submitted his military power, saying that he would not be sick, and Cheng Wuting was appointed as the General of the Right Guard. His relationship with Pei Yan became very close.

Mei Xiaolang also felt secretly shocked. The same clan of Pei was not compatible. This father-in-law Pei Yan was cruel enough! Now that he is in a marriage and regressing, there will be no major conflict. However, if the same dynasty is prime minister, if there are any differences in interests that threaten the other party's status in the future, Pei Yan would probably not care about the relationship between the father-in-law and son-in-law. From then on, he also became suspicious of Pei Yan.

After resigning from the court, Mei Xiaolang had not yet left the palace, and the palace ordered the queen to summon him. The queen was a little disagreeing with the etiquette and law, but in recent years this was very common for the Empress Wu, so Mei Xiaolang had to go with the eunuch.

I met Empress Wu in Fengyi Pavilion, and my salute was finished. Empress Wu waved her hand and said, "Duke Nanlu, please sit." It is necessary to explain that before the Song Dynasty, the prime minister and the emperor were on an equal footing. Naturally, there were seats in front of the queen, unlike in the later braided drama. Until Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin once took advantage of the prime minister's seat while the prime minister stood up and suddenly ordered people to remove the prime minister's seat. From then on, the ministers and ministers could only stand and talk.

Mei Xiaolang looked up and saw Empress Wu clearly. After a long time, he found that the queen had become more charming and brighter. She only saw her eyebrows in her eyebrows and her face was like morning glow. Her hairpin was tall and her hair was shining with graceful figure and a gorgeous face. In terms of age, Empress Wu was nearly 60 years old, four years older than the emperor, but she looked like a grandmother. When she saw Emperor Li Zhi in the court just now, she was already dull and old in her early fifties.

There have been rumors inside and outside the palace that this Empress Wu is a demon that absorbs the essence of human energy. Of course, Mei Xiaolang would not believe this absurd statement. But he also secretly guessed in his heart that Empress Wu is a master of cultivation and his cultivation is unfathomable. After sitting down, he asked, "The Empress specially summoned the empress. What is the imperial decree?"

Empress Wu: "There is no special order in this palace. The Duke of Southern Lu returned to war and made great contributions to the country. He gave his condolences to express his feelings in person. Last year, the prince planned a rebellion, and the Duke was demoted to Chang'an because of this. I know you are innocent, have you ever had any resentment in your heart?"

Mei Xiaolang bowed and replied, "I dare not! The prince is guilty. I am also responsible for being in prison for staying in Chang'an. I will make a contribution to this crime. I would like to thank the emperor and the queen for their trust."

Empress Wu laughed, and her laughter was as gentle as a girl: "It's good that you think so, and I didn't disappoint me." The laughter just started to turn into a sigh again: "Since ancient times, the emperors and their families have always been entangled, and their parents are even more worried than the people in the world."

This sentence made Mei Xiaolang difficult to answer, so he could only continue to listen to her. Wu Hou changed his words and asked again: "I heard that you have a son who has been ill for many years. How have you been doing recently?"

Mei Xiaolang: "That was Zhenyi, the son of his deceased wife, who had suffered from abscesses for twelve years. He was awakened by the miracle doctor Sun Simiao last year. He was fined a few days ago. Thank you for your concern for your family affairs."

Wu smiled and raised his teeth: "Then I want to congratulate you! I heard that your ex-wife died and she married the Pei family's little lady. How many sons do you have?"

The queen actually had a family conversation with him and specifically mentioned his marriage with Pei Yan. Mei Xiaolang was confused but could only answer honestly: "I have three sons and two daughters. The eldest son Zhenyi is in Wuzhou to recuperate. The second son Zhenting was born by Pei, and the third son Zhenguan is born by the side room."

Empress Wu: "I have many children and many blessings, and I have many worries. This time, the Duke of Southern Lu has made great contributions. He should be grateful to his descendants. Among the three sons, who do you want this palace to reward?"

"Of course it's the eldest son Zhenyi." Mei Xiaolang suddenly felt something was wrong, because the queen asked nonsense. According to Tang Lu, it was naturally the eldest son who was respected. Do you still need to ask? Moreover, the queen just abolished his brother and made his brother the crown prince, and said, "Of course it's the eldest son." Wouldn't it be embarrassing to face the embarrassment?

And there was an article just now. The queen asked him, "Who do I hope I will reward you?" This is not the matter of the land, at least on the surface, but it should be said to be more tactful: "I hope I will recommend who I recommend you to reward you?" The queen was fine, and she missed the word suggestion, directly indicating that she had the final say in Mei Xiaolang's palace.

As soon as Mei Xiaolang thought about this, he quickly turned around and said, "The other two sons are still young, and the eldest son Zhenyi's biological mother died early and was sick for many years. Therefore, he couldn't help but feel even more pity. The queen wanted to give her kindness, but she listened to the sage. I dare not say much."

Empress Wu sat there and changed her posture, holding her cheek with one hand and said, "Mr. Nanlu is so worried. I just asked casually, because I know that your second son is Pei Yan's grandson."

What does this mean? It must be meaningful. Mei Xiaolang replied with a straight face: "Pei Yan and I are both ministers. The court has favored gratitude and descendants. No matter who they are, they can only thank you."

Empress Wu nodded: "Okay. The Southern Lu public has righteousness. You and Pei Yan are prime ministers in the same dynasty, and you are clearly distinguished from public and private affairs to loyalty to the country. This is also a blessing for the Celestial Empire."

When Mei Xiaolang left, Empress Wu rewarded a thirteen-legged white jade belt. The next day, he received an order from the palace and appointed his eldest son Mei Zhenyi as the Yunqiwei. Empress Wu summoned him to chat with him every day, and in that kind of occasion, every word was not casual. Using the topic of Mei Zhenyi as a guise, he at least clearly told Mei Xiaolang two things.

First, the court affairs are completely up to her. Second, she knows that Mei Xiaolang and Pei Yan have a close relationship and are now both prime ministers, so she specifically reminds that no matter when, Mei Xiaolang is better to listen to her. The suspect of forming cliques and making personal gains can ignore it. She just cares about where Mei Xiaolang's team stands.

At this time, the Southern Lu Duke Mansion had moved from Chang'an to Luoyang. Mei Xiaolang's first thing to do when he returned home was to remind his wife Pei that he would not have any special things in the future to avoid the feeling of being too close to his parents' home. He had originally been suspicious of Pei Yan, and was reminded by the queen that it was natural to do so, but his wife Pei Yu'e was a little unhappy.

Moving to Luoyang is close to her parents' home, but her husband wants to intentionally alienate the Pei Mansion. What does this mean? Is it because the official has become an official and there is no need to rely on the power of her parents' home like before? She always thought that she had made great contributions to the Mei Mansion, and she suffered more and more as she suffered. Now that the little idiot Mei Zhenyi was sealed. Her mother and son didn't take anything, which made her feel particularly uncomfortable.

Occasionally, when his mother's family comes to visit, Pei Yu'e also has complaints inadvertently, which also spread to the ears of the people of Pei's family, and accidentally brings another big trouble to Mei Zhenyi. I won't mention this later.

He only said that after Mei Xiaolang returned to his home, Pei Yu'e told him about the Miaofa disciple's trip to Wuzhou, and said that she had written a letter to Mei Zhenyi. She thought there would be no problem. She just said it lightly as a trivial matter. Mei Xiaolang was a little worried when he heard this, and at the same time he was a little angry - even if Pei Yu'e, a woman, didn't understand the matter, did Pei Yu'e understand the person? She did not remind Pei Yu'e to send someone to tell Mei Zhenyi in advance, and just wrote a letter to Fairy Zhiyan.

That was more than two months ago, and it was too late to send people there now. Mei Zhenyi was smart and should be able to handle it himself. Mei Xiaolang did not expect that Fairy Zhiyan had first seen the prosperity of the people. He had just arrived in Wuzhou.

After settled the miscellaneous work in the mansion, Mei Xiaolang ordered Mei Yi to rush back to Wuzhou. At this time, Mei Yi also made military achievements and was granted the title of guerrilla general. He still obeyed the orders of the Southern Lu Duke's mansion with a title but not his position. However, the Cheng Xuanhu was the most lucky. The Pei family, the Mei family, and Cheng Wuting could please him in all three aspects. Not only did he become an official, but he also made up for his real flaws. He was appointed as the Sima of Haozhou and had already set off to take office.

Before Mei Yi arrived in Wuzhou, the matter of Miaofa Sect had been resolved, and the imperial edict that the imperial court had added was also here. Mei Zhenyi was officially granted the title on the second day after Fairy Zhiyan and others left Qiyunguan.

That night, our little marquis, no, now he is the little marquis. Yun Qi Wei Mei Zhenyi was leaning comfortably on the big bed in the bedroom. Guer behind him half held him in his arms, and Sui'er gently applied a cooked shelled duck egg to rub the bag on his forehead, and blew the cherry mouth while applying it.

This bag was smashed when it fell from Qiyuntai the night before yesterday. It fell heavily on the ground. If it weren't for his strong body, it might have fallen out on the spot. It has been two days and hasn't completely gone away. Yesterday, he also invited someone to drink with his bag.

"Young master, is it still painful? Those practitioners of the wonderful methods are also women's land. Why are they so fierce that they don't look like women at all!" Sui'er asked with heartache.

"It was a bit painful, but when you touched your little hands, it didn't hurt at all. Not only did it not hurt, but it was also very comfortable. If I had known it was so comfortable, I would have fallen a few more times before and let you rub it well!... It doesn't matter if those women are fierce, as long as my valley and the spikes are gentle and lovely." Relying in the arms of the beautiful girl, the fragrance is seductive and enjoying the gentle care, it's really comfortable.

Gu'er burst out laughing: "Young master's daughter's body cannot fall any more. If you like it, just let us rub it. If you like it, just rub it wherever you like." After saying this, he felt ambiguous in his words, and his face turned red first.

Sui'er said: "I heard that an imperial edict was sent today, and the master made a contribution. The young master also became an official. What an official is Yunqiwei?"

Mei Zhenyi: "It's just a seventh grade, it's big in sesame."

Gu'er exclaimed in a low voice: "The seventh rank is not big yet. Mr. Liu is the only one who is the warehouse supervisor in Ningguo County!"

Mei Zhenyi: "I am just a vain title without a job. What kind of official is I, a child?"

Sui'er said in a coquettish voice: "You can't say that. Although the young master is young, he has a noble status. I think that when Mr. Liu sent us sisters to the Mei Mansion, he was really a blessing in his life. I don't know if the young master's local officials are getting bigger and bigger in the future, can he still like the service of our sisters?"

Mei Zhenyi reached out and held the two little maids and pressed them in her arms. She smiled and said, "If you weren't by your side, no matter how big the official I was, I would feel that it would be meaningless." The two girls looked at each other, blushed and sneered. The young master was about to grow up, and he was really about to grow up!

I was teasing my personal maid in the house, but I didn't do anything else. I relied on my young age to satisfy my bad taste in Liu Xiahui. At night, I still came to Qiyuntai alone to practice. Under Sun Simiao's training, Mei Zhenyi's practice and study day by day. Since she was able to meditate, she only interrupted her meditation for one day, which was yesterday.

Mei Zhenyi has excellent talent, intelligence and understanding. Even if he doesn't think so, Sun Simiao and Zhongli Quan all commented on this. On the other hand, the diligence and tenacity of his study when he learns anything are very rare, and he doesn't look like a pampered young master at all. This also surprised Mei Yi.

These are related to his 20 years of experience before traveling through time. He has experienced all kinds of suffering since childhood. He has grown up in pain no longer thinks it is hard, and his life is still very interesting. What’s more interesting is that he enjoys wealth and luxury after traveling through time, and does not think it is strange inadvertently, until Cheng Xuanhu wakes up with a word.

If you have the qualifications for any kind of practice, you also need to put in a lot of daily practice skills. This is the foundation for finally breaking through the realm and going to a higher level. As for whether you can break through, there is still a layer of window paper in the end, which is to consciously purify your mind and nature. Zhongli Quan asked him where he was wrong the night before. Mei Zhenyi recalled what Sun Simiao taught and suddenly realized that this is the so-called opportunity in practice.

That night, sitting quietly on Qiyuntai was still luring the moon into his body, saving his body for a whole day, and exercising the doctor's method of Yijin and marrow washing. As the internal power and magic power were activated, the whole body was combined with the spirit and energy, and the bruised bag on his forehead gradually disappeared - the magical method is still easier to use than the gentle little hand of the maid. At this point, he naturally activated the Lingshan Mind Method.

The spirit and energy are in harmony, the body and mind are no different, the body is the mind, and the mind is the body, and the soul is the body. At this time, the soul presents. How to describe this feeling of the soul presentation? Mei Zhenyi has reached this state for the first time, but Sun Simiao has made it clear for a long time. Once he enters the state, he can understand it. The ordinary facial features abdicate, and the spiritual consciousness is presented with a clear and clear appearance. The presentation is a very pure and absolutely sober self-consciousness.

There was light in front of me, and the subtle essence of the concentration realm went deeper again. The spiritual platform suddenly became clear. An elder with a tall hair and beard appeared in the spiritual Taichung that he saw in his spiritual consciousness. It was Sun Simiao.

"Master, I finally saw you!" This is a dialogue with divine thoughts in the state of concentration.

Sun Simiao smiled and said, "Teng'er, your Lingshan Mind Method has finally broken through the realm of being like a god. Although he has left as a teacher, he is relieved."

Mei Zhenyi: "Disciple is ashamed. Master's teachings are always in my ears, but I cannot persevere in everything I do. If Senior Zhongli had not woken up, I would not have seen Master."

Sun Simiao: "What you understand today is called 'knowing the constant'. Knowing the constant through consistent practice is something that must be achieved in practice. In the future, no matter what method you practice, you will have to go through this step of knowing the constant after entering the school. The Supreme One said, 'Do not knowing the constant, you will be a bad person. Knowing the constant and tolerance is the master, the master is the whole, the whole is the heaven, the heaven is the Tao, the Tao is long, and there will be no danger without a body.' Can you understand it thoroughly today?"

Mei Zhenyi: "I have some insights and can't forget them anymore!...Master, I'll ask for instructions when I see you today."
