After resigning, I switched to fortune-telling

Chapter 31

Xie Shizi thought that he might have accidentally lost a certain memory, otherwise, why did Shang Qingyao walk up to him before he realized it, and handed the fan into his hand.

The sandalwood fan bone has been infected by the fragrance of agarwood, which is light and cold.Xie Tangru took the fan without looking at it, just held it in his hand and tapped on the table lightly, his eyes fell on Shang Qingyao from beginning to end.

King Cheng still has the traces of travel and dust on his body, but he is not tired.Xie Tangru looked at him and didn't understand why Shang Qingyao still had the leisure to give him a fan at this time, even though the situation in the palace was already under his control, but the moment the dust settled, there would be more accidents.

Maybe he has [-] points of certainty.

Xie Tangru gave a reasonable-sounding guess in his heart, his expression was still lazy, as if the supporting bones had been removed from it, leaving only a beautiful skin.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"You're welcome." Shang Qingyao said, not caring about his appearance of being impolite, he followed Song Xuan who was not far away and clicked his tongue twice.

Shang Qingyao said again: "Just be careful next time, it's not good if you hurt someone."

"Thank you for your reminder, Your Highness." He propped his chin and opened his mouth, with a perfunctory expression on his whole body, "Your Highness has important matters to attend to, so I won't bother Your Highness." After finishing speaking, he passed Shang Qingyao and left the teahouse straight away .

Anyway, if Shang Qingyao didn't leave, he would leave. There is nothing difficult to resolve in the world.

Xie Tangru took out his experience when he was a dandy, and made a quick decision.

Shang Qingyao stayed where he was for a moment, watching Xie Tangru's figure disappear completely, and then frowned almost imperceptibly.

Song Xuan came over, looked down at the fan that was left on the table, picked it up and played with it: "It seems that Mr. Shizi doesn't appreciate your kindness. When did you annoy him?"

Shang Qingyao glanced at him and stretched out his hand: "Bring it."

The arc of Song Xuan's mouth froze, and he realized that he was talking about the fan when he saw his gaze fell into his hand, and he couldn't help shouting: "His Royal Highness Cheng Wang, you are too stingy, but it is a hand that others don't want. fan."

"Bring it." Shang Qingyao repeated what he said just now.

Song Xuan had no choice but to pass the things to him.Shang Qingyao took the fan without looking at Song Xuan, put the fan away properly and left.

Song Xuan touched his nose: "..."

When he came back, Xie Tangru's father had moved a chair and sat at the gate waiting for him.Hearing the sound of Xie Tangru's approaching footsteps, Wei Guogong raised his eyelids and asked, "Have you been busy for nothing?"

As an old man, he naturally knows enough about the cub he raised with his own hands, and he will hit the vital point as soon as he speaks.

Xie Shizi's face froze slightly, and he replied nonchalantly: "I just changed my mind."

"I thought you'd be discovered by someone with your three-legged cat kung fu, and now you're squatting in prison and crying loudly." Wei Guogong said regretfully, "I've prepared all my court clothes, and I'm going to hunt you down."

With his tone, he regretted that Xie Tangru hadn't been arrested.

"Even if I was found out by doing it—" Xie Tangru said in a slow tone, "you don't need to intercede with me, after all, as one of the nine clans, there are eight or nine times out of ten you will go to jail with me."

Wei Guogong: "I have the iron certificate of Danshu."

Xie Tangru's slightly raised eyelids drooped indifferently.

At that time, the Duke of Wei had great military exploits, but there was no title to seal, no reward to reward, and the late emperor had just suffered from an illness at that time, probably because his brain was not perfect, so he came up with an iron certificate to issue Zhang Danshu to Duke Wei, in order to imitate the ancient sages Magnificent monarch.Later, the late Emperor saw that Duke Wei's mansion was not pleasing to the eyes, and he regretted the iron coupons of the Danshu that he had given out-the general charges were useless, and the charges that were too big could not be charged to Duke Wei.Everyone knows that Wei Guogong is the one who really lost his mind, and he is full of thoughts of becoming a fairy.If Wei Guogong is charged with collaborating with the enemy and treason, it will only make people feel that the king is mean and ungrateful.For Xiandi, who had a good reputation and cared about the evaluation of historical books, he hesitated to take action against Wei Guogong's mansion, and dragged on until the late Emperor died.

Therefore, the Danshu Iron Coupon is still preserved in Wei Guogong's mansion.

But Xie Tangru didn't take this matter to heart.If the emperor really wanted to kill, even if he had [-] iron coupons in his hand, he was doomed to die.

Neither did his father - Xie Tangru saw his father holding that thing as a table corner last time.

So Xie Shizi smiled slightly: "Really? But when I saw it last time, half of the corner was eaten by a mouse. I wonder if the new emperor will recognize the incomplete iron coupon of the Danshu? Maybe it is fake."

His words made Wei Guogong stunned, and when Wei Guogong realized it, Xie Tangru had already walked away.Wei Guogong frowned and snorted.

I was fooled by this little bastard for a while. Since the Danshu iron coupon has the word "iron", it is not something that mice can bite.

The little bastard is simply hateful, I don't know how to learn to behave like this!

Wei Guogong fumbled in his sleeve, and took out a crumpled letter. The seal on the letter had not been opened by anyone. On the envelope were written a few strong words "Tang Ruqian".

It was the letter that Shang Qingyao left to Xie Tangru at that time.Somehow it fell into the hands of Wei Guogong.

Wei Guogong took it out to have a look, then crumpled it into a ball and stuffed it into his sleeve pocket.

"Since the little bastards have all run away, I can give it to you next time."

……

Xie Shizi and Zhang Xianshi have established a deep friendship-even though Zhang Xianshi doesn't think so.Therefore, when Xie Tangru once again encountered something that bothered him, he decided to confide his complicated and surging emotions to Zhang Xianshi, a "friend who never forgets the year".

When Xie Tangru looked at Zhang Xianshi and began to sigh, Zhang Xianshi's hand stroking his beard shook slightly, and he began to wonder if this prince was going to kill him to silence him and send him on his way.

Fortunately, Shizi Xie is not such a brutal person.

He was concerned about Master Zhang's body, hoping that he would take good care of him, and then said: "Master Zhang told me last time that as long as I practice stealthily now, I may be able to see through the destiny imposed on me after reaching a certain level. I don't know." Does the immortal master know how I should cultivate?"

He spoke with sincerity, as if he had finally figured it out, which made Zhang Xianshi unbelievable for a moment.He reckoned that something unknown happened in the middle of it, which made Xie Tangru suddenly change his mind.

He didn't know whether he was happy that Xie Tangru was finally persuaded or regretted that he would eventually walk the same path as himself and said: "If you want to get rid of your own destiny, you must be born. If you want to be born, you must first enter the world."

Xie Tangru thought about it, and said bluntly: "I don't understand."

Master Zhang Xian was choked up by his lack of face, so he continued to read the words he had fooled so many people: "I don't know how much your son knows about the classics of the Xian family?" He said the names of several classics and came out—— The names of these books are extremely obscure.

It will take at least three to five months for ordinary people to finish reading these books, and it is even more difficult to master them.Master Zhang Xian reckoned that no matter how talented Xie Tangru was, it would take two or three months...

Zhang Xianshi felt a little complacent in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Xie Tangru said slowly: "If the immortal master is only talking about these books, I have already read them all."

Master Zhang Xian: "..."

Zhang Xianshi turned pale with shock: "How can... the son is so knowledgeable?"

"Oh, that's not true either." Xie Tangru said flatly, "My mother used to believe in these things, and every year she would discuss with several Taoist priests and read these books to me."

"It turns out that the son has a family background." Zhang Xianshi held back for a long time, and finally squeezed out a reluctant compliment, "Then the son has read "Nine Laws", "Yu Zi", "Shou Zhen Lun" and so on?"

These are extremely obscure ancient books, not many even real Taoist priests have read them all.Zhang Xianshi looked at Xie Tangru incredulously, Shizi Xie smiled slightly, and nodded again: "Jia Ci once wrote an annotation for it, so I also read it briefly."

Master Zhang Xian: "..."

If he still believes Xie Tangru's nonsense that he "read it a little bit", he is stupid!

Master Zhang Xian took out a worn-out ancient book from his chest and stuffed it directly into Xie Tangru's hand.

"This is the technique of divination. It is my master's unique knowledge. Remember not to spread it to the outside world. If you have something you don't understand after reading it, you can ask the poor Taoist."

"What should I do after reading this book?" Xie Tang asked with raised eyebrows.

"If the prince understands this book, he can enter the world and experience the sufferings of the world. Don't reveal your identity, and count the 110 hexagrams for others, then you have completed the first step in the introduction of spiritual practice." Zhang Xianshi said in a quicker tone, "After the son has finished this matter, we will discuss the way of the son's cultivation."

After he finished speaking, he walked away with the wind blowing under his feet.

He didn't want to look at Xie Tangru any more.

Xie Tangru held the book and blinked innocently.

The maid Jianshuang quietly appeared behind him again, and Xie Tangru said with a smile: "You heard it too, this son will concentrate on his cultivation from today, so don't bother him if there is nothing to do."

"……Yes."

There was a little hesitation in the pronunciation, Jianshuang had no idea what she really meant as the son of the eldest son - staying out of the matter right now was tantamount to handing over the possibility of seizing the throne to others.Although now is not the best time, but...

However, if Xie Tangru was really enlightened and escaped from the world, Jianshuang thought that it would be impossible for Mrs. Wei Guogong to personally guide Xie Tangru's practice even if she came back from the dead.

Xie Tangru walked two steps, then remembered something again, then turned around and said: "Since this son is determined to pursue the Dao from today, then this son should not bother with worldly chores."

The corner of Jianshuang's mouth twitched slightly: "Yes, I will order someone to prepare a resignation memorial and hand it over to the Ministry of Officials, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

The resignation of officials above the fifth rank in this dynasty does not need to be approved by the emperor himself, but only needs the approval of the Ministry of officials.The Minister of the Ministry of Officials is a person who can do things easily as long as he gives money, and he has even done good things in private bidding for official positions.The first emperor turned a blind eye and turned a blind eye - half of the money obtained by the minister of the official department was given to the first emperor to build a garden and a palace.

Back then, Xie Tangru was a senior high school student, and as usual, he was given the position of editor of the Seventh Rank Imperial Academy, but Xie Shizi himself had no self-motivation, and he went there twice since taking up the post, and even the three old chief officials of the Imperial Academy did not accept them all.

If Xie Tang wanted to resign, it would be really easy.

Therefore, when Xie Tangru came out after studying the book of fortune-telling after a ten-day retreat, Jianshuang, who was waiting at the door, informed him that his resignation had been done.

——Xie Shizi became Bai Ding again.

"Besides, King Cheng succeeded to the throne five days ago." Jianshuang said calmly, "The titles of His Royal Highnesses King Rong and King Duan were revoked and demoted to commoners. But the new emperor graciously allowed them to continue living in his mansion."

This is hardly a favor.Xie Tangru casually thought, Wang Rongwang of Beijing has offended many people, and now that he has lost power, who would not want to beat the dog in the water?

Putting a sheep that has no strength to fight back among a group of ferocious wolves... Tsk, Cheng Wang is really not a good thing.

Five days was enough for the situation to stabilize.Xie Tangru, who had long expected what would happen after her retreat, listened to Jianshuang's word-for-word report of the current situation, and suddenly felt unreal as listening to storytelling in a restaurant.

But everything that happened is real, completely different from the fictional stories of the storyteller.Moreover, the final winner of the battle for the throne had a deep relationship with him.

Although he gave up the initiative to seize power with his own hands, Xie Tangru had nothing to regret and lose in his heart.Even Shizi Xie still had time to think about it, if Shang Qingyao tracked down the people who had intercepted and killed him before, it is estimated that Shizi Xie's fate would be worse than Cheng Wang's two unlucky brothers - just like in a dream.

Jianshuang seemed to have sensed the voice of Lord Shizi, and the next sentence was: "There is one last difficult matter that needs to be decided by Shizi himself - the people we sent to the northern frontier were found when they were withdrawing and fell into the hands of Shang Qingyao , is being secretly escorted to Beijing, waiting for his release."

Xie Tangru: "..."

Very good, he can immediately see whether his end is worse than those two unlucky brothers.
