Chapter 926 Similar in shape but not in spirit
Zeng Chun said: "Jiang Fan had many speculations about His Majesty's intention to grant a title. I made it clear to him your Majesty's intention. He once said that he would make a decision after the return of Qin Jun. I thought that the matter had been as we speculated. So far,
So far, I didn't want to, but he was ordered to thank me. Now, I am also puzzled. However, when I look at this son's actions, although he seems lazy and careless, he always has profound meaning. This time I am in Yangdu, it happens to be
Ying Pei seizes power with a far-reaching and vast layout. However, upon closer inspection, you will find that he was defused by his understatement and forced to escape. His methods are superb and he stirs up thunder in silent places. Everything is a stroke of genius. It is really hard to fathom."
Emperor Ping smiled faintly: "My lords, don't worry too much. Now that I have conferred the title, I will have my own considerations. Please step aside and make preparations. The canonization ceremony will be held later."
The general said: "There is Taiyue..."
Pinghuang said: "Taiyue, I have come forward, so you don't have to worry too much. Zhong Ai Qing will stay and withdraw from the court."
Everyone was puzzled, and after they dispersed, they were still discussing the matter in twos and threes. However, most of them just couldn't figure it out, but they didn't object. After all, they all understood the meaning of Emperor Ping's differentiation.
Zhong Houde followed Emperor Ping to the back hall. Emperor Ping stood with his back to him and his hands clasped behind his back. He spoke slowly for a long time: "Qing Zhong Ai, what do you think?"
Zhong Houde pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to read poetry?"
Emperor Ping said calmly: "Since Aiqing wants to talk about poetry, just talk about poetry."
Zhong Houde said: "There are three interesting sentences in the poem. One is, how is Tai Zongfu, Qilu is still young."
Ping Huang said: "Seeing Taiyue's emotion, what do you think the Qing family has to say?"
Zhong Houde said: "But in the eyes of Wei Chen, it seems that Taiyue may not be the same, and Qilu is still young...it seems to have some feelings...After all, this land of Qilu is under the rule of me, the Great Zhou..."
Emperor Ping's eyes were unwavering: "The Qing family's interpretation is quite interesting, but what about the second sentence?"
A gleam of light flashed across Zhong Houde's eyes: "It's the beautiful clock of creation, the yin and yang cut off the dusk. Your Majesty, don't you realize that these words have profound meaning..."
Emperor Ping did not look back, and said in a calm voice: "It's just a poem, praising the majesty of Mount Tai, what's wrong with that."
Zhong Houde said: "Yes, but this division of yin and yang seems a bit like redrawing yin and yang, opening the sky and breaking the sun..."
Emperor Ping was silent for a moment: "Is there any other poem that makes the Qing family feel worried?"
Zhong Houde said: "That's the last sentence..."
"I will be at the top of the mountain and see all the small mountains..." Emperor Ping murmured to himself.
"A man can stand at the top of the mountain and have a panoramic view of all the mountains. I can clearly hear it in the back hall. This man has extraordinary aspirations..."
An old man in rich clothes slowly walked out from behind.
Zhong Houde nodded slightly: "Grand Master."
This person was exactly the Grand Master of Zhou Dynasty, Huangfu Zhaoye, whom Jiang Fan met in Qingjiang Town that day.
Huangfu Zhaoye smiled at Zhong Houde and said, "Zaifu is very good at interpreting poetry."
Zhong Houde shook his head slightly: "I can understand poetry, but I can't understand people. Your Majesty... what do you think of this person..."
Emperor Ping finally turned around and faced the two of them. There was a hint of excitement in his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.
"...weird, specious..."
Zhong Houde's eyes moved: "Even His Majesty can't be sure?"
Emperor Ping frowned slightly: "If you look at its appearance, it may be 90% correct, but there is no ripple in its eyes, and it is unfamiliar, and its spiritual thoughts cannot be sensed..."
The two looked at each other, and Huangfu Zhaoye said slowly: "Your Majesty, when you asked the sick man and the old minister to meet Zhang Zhiling to test his intention to return to seclusion, you had asked him to try to find someone to watch him, and indeed he was found in Qingjiang Town.
However, neither the sick man nor the old minister could see why... This son is indeed as Your Majesty said, similar in appearance, but different in spirit..."
Zhong Houde said: "Therefore, although this title has the purpose of differentiation, more importantly, it is to attract this son to come to the court, so that your majesty can observe it. If your majesty is not able, perhaps only his highness can distinguish the authenticity..."
Huangfu Zhaoye looked at Emperor Ping: "Can you arrange a meeting with His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Emperor Ping did not answer. He pondered for a moment and said, "Has there been any news about Zeng Jing?"
Huangfu Zhaoye shook his head: "There is no news at all."
"Zeng Jing is the most knowledgeable person besides the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. We will send additional manpower to find him. As for the Crown Prince, please let me think again..."
Huangfu Zhaoye responded, and just as he was about to retreat, Emperor Ping said: "There are many inconveniences in the court. After the canonization ceremony is over, I want to see this son alone."
Huangfu Zhaoye's eyes moved slightly: "Your Majesty wants to test it privately?"
Emperor Ping nodded: "I am always unwilling to give in. The prince is seriously ill. If not, he will inevitably be severely affected. It is better not to inform him first. If I really can't do anything, I will tell you later."
Huangfu Zhaoye said: "That's fine, I'll make arrangements now. But I just heard from Fei Tianguan that this boy ignored the rules of Mount Taiyue and broke in openly. Taiyue is afraid..."
Emperor Ping smiled calmly: "Don't worry, I'm with you at Taiyue..."
The most admirable thing about Dazhou is this gift, but the most annoying thing is also this. It is too complicated.
Jiang Fan was tossed around and around, his whole body was stunned, like a puppet, he didn't know how to complete the canonization ceremony.
However, there was one thing that no matter how confused Jiang Fan was, he still felt that something was wrong. He broke into the gate of Taiyue Mountain and no one said a word until now. It was quite abnormal.
But you can't go to the door to ask. Prince Jiang just wants to take care of him as soon as he comes, so he doesn't care about him for the time being.
What we need to do now is to meet you alone to show off.
To be honest, the sun has set since the hard work in the mountain, and the tired birds have all gone home for dinner. Mr. Jiang’s business is not over yet, which is really worrying. After all, he only had a simple meal at noon. The royal family didn’t know that he has a big stomach, so he had a few dishes of side dishes.
In Mr. Jiang's view, it even lacks symbolic meaning.
I met Emperor Ping in a side hall. After waiting for a long time, no one came.
Mr. Jiang, who was so hungry that his eyes were dazzled, took a quick look around and found that no one was there. He took out an oil paper bag from his arms. This was spicy beef jerky that he had specially prepared for fear that he would not be used to the food.
The taste was so delicious that Mr. Jiang was just looking around at it at first. After a while, no one was around and he didn't care anymore, so he just tore it up and ate it to his heart's content.
However, this stuff was very fragrant, but it was too dry. After Mr. Jiang choked and burped twice, he could only look for water everywhere.
I didn't find the water, but I found a jade gourd on the desk. After thinking about it, I unscrewed the lid and smelled it. Haha? Burn a knife?
The wine he brewed has been spread to the imperial court? Mr. Jiang is somewhat proud of it.
After tasting it for a while, if there is no debris, let’s drink it. Anyway, the Emperor didn’t ask him to come here just for drinking, and he won’t find out later.
Ever since, Mr. Jiang had a great time with a mouthful of meat and a mouthful of wine.
However, he didn't know that in another secret room, Emperor Ping and two humerus ministers stood in front of a crystal piece and looked at it with great joy.
"...This...this stealing style is somewhat interesting..."
The grand master said a little funny.
Zhong Houde said: "It doesn't mean anything. There are rumors in the world that this guy is a good talker. It's normal to bring some food with him."
Emperor Ping just looked at it calmly, "What did the maid say just now?"
Zhong Houde said sadly: "There is no mark on the dragon's spine."
Huangfu Zhaoye said: "That mark is actually a birthmark, and it may not disappear as the years grow older."
