To Rule in a Turbulent World

Chapter 273 Volume 5 8 Sounds of Ganzhou

The wind picked up again, rustling, and You Miao woke up suddenly in a cold sweat.

Holding a lamp, Tang Bo asked, "Master You?"

You Miao was sweating and panting, Tang Bo quickly put down the lamp, stepped forward, and tried You Miao's forehead.

"Ill?" Tang Bo asked.

You Miao's face was pale, she sat panting, and said, "I dreamed... General Nie came back."

Tang Bo's face immediately changed, and then he managed to calm down and said: "Think about it every day, and dream at night, Mr. You...don't...scare yourself."

You Miao managed to gather herself together, nodded to Tang Bo, and ran out of the Political Affairs Hall. Tang Bo shouted behind him: "Master You! Where are you going! Calm down! Don't enter the palace!"

The street was empty, and You Miao walked around the corner alone. In fact, even he himself didn't know how to sort out the matter, so he just ran out in a daze.After staying under the palace wall to breathe for a while, You Miaofang calmed down and walked towards the Qin Tianjian in the south of the city instead.

In summer night, the Milky Way is like a belt, the stars are shining, the whole city is gradually quieting down, and the lights are sporadic. It is the best time for stargazing. Qin Tianjian Chen Qingzheng is standing on the high platform, and he is quite surprised to see You Miao climbing up the stairs.

"I got a lucky hexagram today." Chen Qing said with a smile, "I didn't expect it to be Mr. Shen Zhi."

You Miao smiled and said: "Jian is a different hexagram, the lower gen and the upper ridge overlap, benefiting the southwest, not benefiting the northeast, benefiting the lord, Zhenji."

Chen Qing asked, "What wind brought Mr. Shenzhi here?"

You Miao said: "I was disturbed by nightmares at night, so I came to visit Mr. Chen to clear up my confusion. I hope that Mr. Chen will teach me how to get rid of my demons."

Chen Qing smiled knowingly, but didn't ask any more questions, and replied: "It's just that Mr. Shenzhi has a lot of government affairs during the day, and his mind is restless. The [-]th Five-Year Son of Heaven, the prime minister has a body of literary music, and even a moment of demons, so he can't get close to you. body, you can rest assured."

You Miao didn't rush to talk, walked up to Chen Qing, and looked up at the sky together with him, Chen Qing suddenly felt something, and asked, "Master You also participates in the Zhouyi?"

"Mister taught me a little bit in the past." You Miao replied.

Sun Yu did not believe in ghosts and gods back then, and neither did You Miao since childhood, but the Book of Changes was annotated by Confucius. Sun Yu learned hundreds of schools of thought and did not specialize in Confucian classics, but You Miao also learned some of the Five Classics.

"Mr. Sun is so knowledgeable that my generation can't match it. The biggest regret in this life is not having this opportunity to study with Mr. Sun." Chen Qing sighed.

"The teacher was strict in teaching during his lifetime." You Miao sighed unconsciously: "I only learned a little about his skills... Now that I think about it, I often regret it. I knew I would have worked harder."

In the sky, a meteor streaks across.

You Miao has become a frightened bird. When she came to the observatory, she just wanted to ask Chen Qing if there was any strange sign in the sky. At this moment, she was even more frightened when she saw the meteor. When her face changed, Chen Qing saw it, and comforted: "Meteor It happens naturally, Master Shen, don’t worry about it.”

You Miao said: "Master Jianzheng, can you gain something by watching the sky at night?"

Chen Qing shook his head mockingly, but did not answer, and You Miao also felt that it was absurd in his heart. Everyone never thought of asking God about the Northern Expedition, but at this time, he, who should not be superstitious about God's will, became superstitious. Came to ask Bu Cangtian.If the courtiers find out tomorrow, they will inevitably be speculated on nonsense again.

"For example..." You Miao said, "How about Jiang Xing?"

Chen Qing seemed to be very funny, and explained to You Miao: "Master You is too worried. Since ancient times, the Qin Tianjian has only observed the sky.

You Miao thought in her heart that you are fine, you are fine without asking, but you dare to say it when you open your mouth...

"...but I think it's just a phenomenon." Chen Qingdao: "People who are interested will naturally make use of strange omens to make a big fuss, but you can't believe it all. It's not surprising that the stars of the year are often seen. It's the law of the seasons. As for the falling of the stars, it was just a nonsense of the people of the previous dynasty pretending to be gods and ghosts. Imagine, my lord, how many famous generals have there been in the world since the beginning of history? If every time a general dies, a star will fall from the sky, and it will not last for thousands of years. It's already empty, so where are the stars to fall?"

You Miao smiled and said, "Yes."

You Miao told Chen Qing about her dream in detail, and after listening to it, Chen Qing comforted: "Your Majesty is just busy with work, restless, thinking about it every day, and dreaming at night. Both you and your majesty are always worried about the victory of the Northern Expedition. Defeated, and even more worried that the lives of the soldiers are at stake, these words are usually not dared to be said by the monarchs and ministers, and they are held in their hearts, and dreams will appear at night."

You Miao thought so too at first, so she nodded happily, and Chen Qing said again: "Otherwise, look at the stars in the sky, famous generals, famous ministers, famous monarchs, and famous officials in history emerge one after another, and every hero who appears will dominate the world. A current situation, after being glowing and glowing, will be like the shooting star just now, shining brightly and disappearing in the night sky. Only when there is an end can there be new life, and everything in the world is just like this."

"What Mr. Chen said is true." You Miao said solemnly: "You have been taught, Mr. Chen can think about it."

"Life is the existence of the Tao, and death is the end of the Tao." Chen Qing said with a smile: "Cultivating the Tao is to investigate life and death, stand in a wider position than the times, follow the way of heaven, and see the world."

It is late at night at the observatory, with a cool breeze and a brilliant Milky Way.

You Miao and Chen Qing bowed to each other.

After the political affairs were discussed in the early morning of the next day, You Miao came to the study, and Zhao Chao asked, "What happened last night? Didn't sleep well? What did you go out to do in the middle of the night?"

You Miao smiled and said, "Who did you hear that from?"

Zhao Chao flipped through the memorial and said with a smile, "I was just about to talk to you, but Tang Bo said you had a dream and ran out."

You Miao sighed, Zhao Chao saw that You Miao was worried, and asked again: "What's wrong?"

You Miao told the details of what happened last night, Zhao Chao smiled and said, "I didn't expect Chen Qing to be such a person."

You Miao knew that Zhao Chao hated Taoism all the time. After all, the old emperor did nothing in the palace back then, practicing alchemy and seeking immortals to write green poems, which made a good country like this.But he didn't say it clearly in front of Zhao Chao, he just explained: "All schools of thought have their reasons, but some people misinterpreted the meaning."

"En." Zhao Chao nodded and said: "There are also virtuous monarchs in history who governed the country according to the way of Huang Lao, clean and inactive, recuperating, hiding wealth for the people, and making the country strong. , to relieve the burden of the people for these years.”

You Miao nodded, fell silent, looked at Zhao Chao, but found a smile in his eyes, apparently in a good mood today.You Miao's heart moved, and when she was about to ask, a nervous voice came from outside.

"Please see Your Majesty! There are military reports on the front line! General Nie has dispatched troops to win!"

You Miao and Zhao Chao were stunned for a moment, Zhao Chao stepped down quickly, You Miao opened the door, and saw Ping Xi, Li Yan and others standing outside the study, Xinbao couldn't hold back his excitement, covered in travel dust, loudly Said: "Your Majesty! General Nie ambushed the Tatar army at Languan on the ninth day of May. Batu fled in a big rout, annihilating [-] enemies in one fell swoop! General Li Zhifeng successfully intercepted him outside Dongliang Pass. Exhibition, the Tatar army retreated across the board! Fleeing back to Yanbian, Batu lost his whereabouts in the chaos!"

You Miao: "..."

Zhao Chao: "..."

Everyone's joy was beyond words, and You Miao was too happy to speak. He let out a long breath, knowing that the main force of the enemy was retreating. As long as Yanbian was captured, Da'an would immediately become an isolated city. There is no other end.

"That's great... that's great..." You Miao murmured, "Thank God... Mr. Blessed by the Spirit of Heaven..."

Zhao Chao looked at You Miao with a smile, You Miao burst into tears unknowingly, Zhao Chao stretched out his arms, and hugged You Miao tightly.

Zhao Chao patted You Miao's back, his eyes were red, and he said to You Miao, "I wanted to tell you something last night, Ziqian."

You Miao was at a loss.

Zhao Chao smiled and said, "You are going to be an uncle."

You Miao: "..."
