The first volume of the historical novel "Asking the Impermanence: Conquering the Demon and Subduing the Demon Hand".
Chapter 63 The intention is to end in the south
Previous link: Volume I, Chapter 62
When Jin Shizong was young, he had a special Han teacher to teach him to study Han classics, and he was smart and studious, so he dabbled in Confucianism and Taoism. However, after all, it was a general reading, and the teacher was not proficient in Taoism, so he spoke very roughly, only involving some doctrines and theories.
In contrast, Qiu Chuji has devoted himself to cultivation for more than 20 years, and his master Wang Chongyang instructed his disciples to read through and intensively read the classics of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism at the beginning of the establishment of the teaching. Qiu Chuji dropped out of school at a young age, and he has a different kind of eagerness for reading from the bottom of his heart, so he must read all the classics he has in his hands and is familiar with them.
Qiu Chuji was originally very Taoist and intelligent, and he already had his own opinions on various classics in his early years, and now he is getting older, and he has been exposed to all kinds of people and things to enrich his knowledge, so he has a unique understanding of the classics and the world.
As soon as Qiu Chuji said this, Jin Shizong thought for a long time and nodded lightly: "This is an extraordinary remark, but I, a person who has been on the throne for a long time, has never thought of it!" ”
King Fu had been listening attentively to the conversation between the two people, and when he heard Jin Shizong's words, he couldn't help but interject and said: "Brother Huang, although I listened to Qiu Zhenren's words are also very reasonable, but after all, he is a person from outside the party, and what he said is nothing more than an outsider's opinion. Brother Huang, you have ruled the world for a long time, and the affairs of the world are not as clear and understandable to you as the observation of the pattern in the palm of your hand? ”
The implication of King Fu's words is that Jin Shizong is better at governing the world.
When Jin Shizong heard King Fu say this, he shook his head lightly and said, "I just think that I am sometimes very confused, for fear that one mistake will affect the overall situation!" After so many years in power, I have been trembling and walking on thin ice! Now that I'm older, it's even worse than before! ”
When he said this, Jin Shizong raised his head and looked forward blankly, looking a little overwhelmed.
Qiu Chuji listened to Jin Shizong's words, and looked at his appearance at this time, and couldn't help nodding, but before he could say anything, King Fu said loudly behind him: "It's not right for the imperial brother to say this, the whole world is yours, you can do what you want, how can you tremble?" According to me, you can do whatever you want! ”
When King Fu said this, not only Jin Shizong shook his head with a smile, but even Wu Fu next to King Fu couldn't help but smile.
"What, am I not right?" Seeing that everyone was laughing, King Fu couldn't help but ask with wide eyes.
Qiu Chuji stopped, looked back at King Fu, nodded lightly, and said, "The emperor is naturally right to be so cautious; Fu Wang Ye is such a big golden knife, it's not wrong! ”
"Hey, Lao Qiu, don't be with the mud, you don't appreciate it if you are so two-faced to please me!" Listening to Qiu's words, King Fu felt that there was really a suspicion of flattering both sides, so he couldn't help but say. He didn't expect that he was the one who tried to make peace with the mud.
Jin Shizong was amused by King Fu, he pointed at King Fu with his finger, laughed so much that his mouth couldn't close, and he pointed his finger again and again and said: "You, you, you are really a great living treasure of mine!" ”
"I ......" King Fu didn't quite understand how he had become a living treasure, but he was happy to see the emperor happy.
Especially this time, the reason why King Fu accompanied Qiu Chuji was actually most worried about Qiu's safety. He has always felt that he has benefited a lot from the time he has spent with this person, so he hopes to protect him as much as he can by himself. At this time, listening to the conversation between Qiu Chuji and Jin Shizong, he was very afraid that Jin Shizong would be jealous of Qiu Chuji because of Qiu Chuji's talent, so he always tried to dilute the brilliance of Qiu Chuji, so that Qiu Chuji would look "safer" in Jin Shizong.
Qiu Chuji looked at King Fu's appearance, of course, he knew his hard work very well. In fact, he didn't know that although the imperial authority was strict, the imperial power was also very dangerous. However, he has always been straightforward, never beating around the bush when he speaks, and at the same time, he also knows very well how far his cultivation has reached, as long as he follows the Tao, he is not in any danger.
The Tao is rigid and soft, and the combination of rigidity and softness is not the case for him?
Jin Shizong looked at King Fu and smiled for a while. Wang Mu looked at the emperor's appearance, although he didn't know what dumb riddle was being played between the three of them, but he was originally of the same heart as the master and servant of Jin Shizong, so he couldn't help but smile when he saw that the emperor was happy, and said jokingly: "The emperor still loves his own brother, I knew that this is the case, and the prince should come in every day to accompany the emperor!" ”
When Jin Shizong heard Wang Mu say this, he couldn't help waving his sleeves lightly, making a look of letting King Fu roll as far as he could.
When King Fu saw Jin Shizong like this, he couldn't help blinking his eyes, "sighed" from his heart, and twisted his face to the other side.
At this time, several people walked to a pavilion in the middle of the lake. Wang Mu has always known the emperor's habits, so he has already arranged for someone to prepare tea and fruit snacks, and at this time he led everyone to sit down around the stone table.
As soon as Jin Shizong sat down, Wang Mu brought a cup of ginseng tea at the right time.
Jin Shizong was not busy drinking tea, but looked at the snacks and melons and fruits on the table.
At this time, it is early summer, and there are not too many varieties of melons and fruits, and a red peach in the fruit bowl is particularly eye-catching.
Wang Mu saw that the emperor had been staring at the peach, and hurriedly held the peach with both hands: "Your Majesty, this peach was just sent from the imperial orchard today." It is said that the peaches are not ripe at this time, but coincidentally, this peach is ripe when it looks red. The first peach of the year, your Majesty, try it! ”
Jin Shizong looked at the peach and lightly pointed with his hand: "Give it to Qiu Zhenren to eat!" ”
When Wang Mou heard this, he just wanted to say something, but Jin Shizong had already taken the peach from his hand, put it on a small plate in front of Qiu Chuji, and said: "The real person is outspoken and fast-talking, and he has won my heart, and I will give a peach to show my reward!" ”
Qiu Chuji had not eaten fruit for many years, and at this time, he listened to the emperor's earnestness, and it was not easy to refuse, so he picked up the peaches and ate them slowly.
King Fu saw Qiu eating slowly and methodically, the peach juice was overflowing, and it looked really good, he liked to be greedy, and he couldn't help but move his index finger when he looked at it, and then looked carefully at the big fruit bowl, sure enough, a peach was gone, and he couldn't help but look at Wang Mou: "Is there really only one?" ”
"Lord Wang, just one!" Wang Mu couldn't help but smile when he saw King Fu gluttonous like that: "Lord Wang, don't worry, there will be another ten and a half months in another ten and a half months!" ”
"Shh King Fu glanced at Wang Mu, picked up the tea in front of him, and drank it tastelessly.
Jin Shizong slowly drank the ginseng tea in his hand, cast an appreciative look at Qiu Chuji again, and said: "Real person, I remember asking you before, but I still want to ask again at this time, how about you stay in the court and be an official?" ”
Qiu Chuji listened, gently put the peach pit in his hand on the table, raised his head to look at Jin Shizong and said: "Your Majesty, Poor Dao is just a person in the mountains and wilderness, just a few Taoist scriptures, and some Taoist methods of the ancestors of the predecessors, but he has not yet cultivated the Tao thoroughly, so how can he dare to be an official in the court?" I really don't dare, I don't dare! ”
Qiu Chuji usually speaks and acts calmly, but at this time, after listening to Jin Shizong's words to let him come out to be an official, his forehead couldn't help but sweat. The wind on the lake blew gently, and the sweat quickly disappeared, and no one else saw anything wrong.
Jin Shizong still wanted to persuade him again, but he didn't expect that he had just finished drinking a sip of hot tea, and suddenly a cool breeze blew, and his body was already a little weak recently, and at this time, he felt a little sweaty front chest and back slightly cool, and he couldn't help but quickly shut up.
King Fu is fat, walked this small half circle by the lake, just saw a lot of sweat on his body, at this time by the wind, he couldn't help but feel refreshed, and smiled: "It's so cool and comfortable!" Brother Huang, this place you chose is indeed a treasure of feng shui, how cool it will be to stay here in a summer! ”
Jin Shizong felt that the coolness invaded his body little by little, so he drank two sips of hot tea, hoping to force the cool air out, but he didn't expect that the two gases intersected, and the breath was not smooth for a while, and he suddenly burped.
Wang Mu saw that the emperor was suddenly like this, and hurriedly stepped forward, but he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
King Fu couldn't help but be embarrassed when he saw Jin Shizong, he couldn't help but grin, and said to Wang Mu as if he was relieving the siege for the emperor: "The emperor is my golden warrior, a few hiccups are afraid or something!" ”
However, the emperor didn't just have a few hiccups, but fought in a series of fights, and the fights were a little out of breath, so that his face slowly changed color.
When Qiu saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward, gently pinched an acupuncture point on the emperor's right arm with the fingers of his right hand, and then gently stroked the middle of the upper part of the emperor's back with the palm of his left hand.
Jin Shizong finally stopped the difficult hiccups, he let out a long breath, gently wiped the tears in his eyes, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "I lost my temper!" ”
"No one can avoid it." Qiu Chuji smiled, sat back and looked around, and said: "It's naturally good to escape the heat here, but the cool breeze on the lake is too fast, and it is more suitable for the emperor to enjoy the cool on the shore of the lake!" ”
"Good, good." Jin Shizong agreed repeatedly.
At this time, Wang Mu beckoned the palace maids to come over and helped Jin Shizong to walk to the shore.
King Fu flicked his wide sleeves, looked at the lake with a little regret, and walked towards the shore behind Qiu Chuji and Jin Shizong.
Jin Shizong walked forward slowly, and after walking for a while, he said to Qiu Chuji: "Zhenren, I am really vigilant when I govern the country, for fear that I will mess up the overall situation if I am not careful!" Real person, why don't you stay by my side? For example, just now, it was only about the safety of one of me, but fortunately, a real person came to the rescue. How about governing the country? If I encounter a dangerous situation similar to the one just now, and there is a real person, my heart will be steady! ”
Qiu Chuji listened to Jin Shizong's earnestness, and couldn't help but be moved, but it was really not appropriate to think about it. He has always been interested in cultivation, and he has never had the idea of being an official.
But now, Jin Shizong persuaded again and again, Qiu Chuji really didn't know how to excuse the more appropriate, so he couldn't help but look at King Fu for help.
