Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 2143 Flower dispute (fifty-one)

The Kitchen God is in charge of the food and drink of everyone in every family. Although he stays beside the world, he cannot be too casually flattering or offending him. Therefore, when the Kitchen God enters the house, he cannot sing, cry, curse or shout. , Similarly, if dirty firewood is used to cook rice and vegetables, the unclean smoke from the firewood will also harm the kitchen master.

If you do not pay attention to the eight solar terms, the above faults will become more serious. These eight solar terms are the beginning of spring, the beginning of summer, the beginning of autumn, the beginning of winter and the spring equinox, summer solstice, autumn equinox, and winter solstice, because these eight solar terms are the changes of yin and yang in nature. At the same time, the human body will also undergo similar changes, and the gods also make judgments of rewards and punishments on people during these solar terms.

  In the moment when the gods are doing justice, not only can people not make mistakes, but they can also not torture criminals. It was precisely because he did not obey this rule that the famous general Du Fan was punished by the gods. Du Fan was usually very cruel to the soldiers. In the winter of the second year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, he fell ill all of a sudden, and suddenly shouted, "I see. Someone brought a plate with a fresh pumpkin."

   Hearing this, the subordinates were extremely surprised, and thought to themselves, "Where do you get fresh pumpkins in the winter?"

  Du Fan trembled all over, and then said, "Pumpkin is a human head, and it came to ask for my life."

   He swallowed his breath as soon as he finished speaking.

  These sins include, but are not limited to, killing for no reason, abusing subordinates, involving a sick man, or exposing one's body when waking up at night.

"Tai Shang Induction Chapter" wrote: Like the above sins, the **** of fate will take their lifespan according to human mistakes, 12 years in the heavy, 100 days in the light, if the lifespan is exhausted, they will die. The guilt will befall the children and grandchildren.

   Just like the house on the ground should correspond to the constellations in the sky, human behavior will also invite the heaven to intervene in human affairs, which indicates disaster and auspiciousness. There is a Fire Temple at the junction of Shichahai and Nanluoguxiang. It was built in the sixth year of Zhenguan. It is the earliest and currently the only royal temple in Beijing.

   Whenever there is a fire in the palace, the imperial court will send ministers here to report the disaster and ask the **** of fire for blessings. On the birthday of the God of Fire, a grand ceremony is held in the temple, and the emperors of all dynasties have to personally or send their ministers to worship.

According to Liu Tong's "Scenery of the Imperial Capital", Huangji Palace, Qianqing Palace, and Jiluan Palace all experienced fires, and in the sixth year of Apocalypse, a fire broke out in the area of ​​Wang Gongchang outside the Forbidden City, causing huge casualties. Including the prince of Emperor Tianqi, the Fire Temple of Chongwenmen also seems to be burning.

   At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Heng's seismograph detected an earthquake from Gansu, and the emperor asked him who caused the disaster.

  If Zhang Heng dared to say a name at that time, it would cause huge political turmoil, and the **** group looked for an opportunity to drive him out of Luoyang.

Also in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the phenomenon of **** dictatorship also appeared. In the fifth year of Apocalypse, that is, the year before the big bang, Wei Zhongxian re-established the prison and used false accusations to detain Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Zhou Chaorui, and Wei Dazhong. , Gu Dazhang, and Yuan Huazhong were tortured to death in prison, and these six were later known as the Six Gentlemen of Apocalypse. There was once an unnamed "Yanke" who disguised himself and entered the Zhenfusi Prison for a visit. After seeing the tragic torture of Liu Junzi, he wrote the book "Bi Xue Lu". He remembered it in great detail from the beginning to the end. provoked a strong response.

  The power of the eunuchs is well known to everyone. The eunuchs who were ordered to go out were not only very powerful and had a guard of honor, but also extorted property along the way.

   Logically speaking, eunuchs should not marry wives. Zhu Yuanzhang strictly prohibited them when he was in power. Every **** who married a wife would be punished by skinning. Eunuchs not only marry wives, but also concubines, or the women of prisoners, and even marry the wife of the late hero Houbo, and the daughters of poor people are taken into concubines and maids by them. Anyway, normal men have them all. Yes, including children.

Some eunuchs became eunuchs after they married and had children, while others were sanctified by their parents since childhood. They felt that being eunuchs would make them richer and richer. There are also eunuchs in Europe. But in terms of power, it can't be compared with the **** in any way. These people will not have descendants, but there is no shortage of people who are vying to be their "grandsons" and "adopted sons". After the fire broke out, people panicked. People thought that Emperor Tianqi wanted to quell the anger of the sky, and the dead prince, to wipe out the so-called "eunuch party".

   But Wei Zhongxian was deeply loved and trusted by Emperor Tianqi, and the prince's biological mother, Concubine Rong, was rumored to be Wei Zhongxian's "righteous daughter". Wei Zhongxian and the emperor's wet nurse Keshi were powerful in the palace and had already killed Empress Zhang and other harem concubines.

   Besides, Nurhaci was developing rapidly at that time, which had already posed a threat to the Ming Dynasty. Wei Zhongxian promoted Yuan Chonghuan to supervise Liaodong, and gave Yuan Chonghuan great support in terms of politics, materials, military pay, and armament. During the few years when Wei Zhongxian was in power, the cities from Ningyuan to Jinzhou were all renovated. Shoubian Mingjun was equipped with fire guns, chariots, mines, bombs, and even red-clothed cannons were moved to the city heads of Ningyuan and Jinzhou. It was because the red-clothed cannon had injured Nurhachi.

  Wang Gong Factory is a place specialized in making gunpowder. Although it caused a huge explosion, it is not a disaster from heaven, and it may also be caused by the mistakes of the workers.

The final result was that the big explosion was over. Wei Zhongxian not only did not stop because of this, but also set off a second injustice. This time seven people were arrested, but not all of them came to the case. When Jin Yiwei rode to Gao Panlong's house He threw himself into a well, and the other six were tortured to death in prison.

   It is said that there was a lot of snow in the north, including Hunan, that year, while Guangdong and other places experienced severe drought in spring and floods in summer. The forces of "mountain pirates" surged for a while, and Liu Xiang's pirates also took the opportunity to land and loot.

A few months after the big bang, Wang Yu, who had served as a push official in Yangzhou, released the "Story of Pictures of Strange Artifacts" on behalf of German missionary Deng Yuhan. He came with 22 missionaries including Tang Ruowang and Luo Yagu, and only 8 of them arrived alive. People, but Deng Yuhan did not go to BJ, but stayed in Macau. When pirates began to appear, Deng Yuhan went to Hangzhou for refuge. Later, he was recruited to BJ Qin Tianjian to participate in the compilation of "Chongzhen Almanac". Missionary in Xi'an.

   "Chongzhen Almanac" lasted for five years. After Deng Yuhan died in 1630, Tang Ruowang was in charge of the next work. Bi Gongchen, an official of the Ming Dynasty, found in Tang Ruowang's manuscript "A Brief Introduction to the Human Body of Qinxi", which described in detail the principles of bones, nerves, body fat, skin, blood, sense, vision, hearing, smell, touch, taste, etc. Formed, after Runding this book was published, it was already sixteen years after Chongzhen.

In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Emperor Xizong of Ming Dynasty fell into the water while swimming in the lake. Although he did not drown, he fell ill and died after taking the "immortal medicine". The first thing he did was to clean up the emperor. Wei Zhongxian's party.

It is said that Wei Zhongxian and the Hakshi eat each other. After the Manchus settled in the Forbidden City, it was strictly forbidden for palace maids and eunuchs to eat each other, and eunuchs were forbidden to speak and do politics. Palace maids could go out of the palace to marry people when they were 25 years old, and they did not need to be like the Ming Dynasty. In the Palace of the Dead.

  Unless there is an amnesty, or there is a so-called abnormal astronomical phenomenon, the Ming Dynasty will only let a group of palace servants go out. It is believed that too many women in the harem will cause yin and stagnation. The story of Zhenguan comes from the palace maids.

  The little girls who entered the palace at the age of ten were nearly fifty years old when they were released. If they didn’t rely on relatives and friends, they could only rely on their own vitality to last for a while, or beg along the streets.

  The miserable situation of the palace maids made the emperor feel pity, but there was no reform, which led to folk parents betrothed very early in order to prevent their children from being elected to the palace.

  The maids who were forced to be elected into the palace could not bear the resistance, so that Emperor Jiajing was strangled by more than a dozen maids, that is, the change of the Renyin Palace.

  European women are not allowed to come to Qing Dynasty, the door is closed to our lovely female compatriots.

  According to the scriptures, a woman cannot be reborn in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss unless she becomes a man. The Goddess of Mercy, who looks a lot like the Sistine Virgin enshrined in a rural temple, is actually a man.

   However, the seated statue of Guanyin in white jade drawn in gold in Ming Dynasty that Nick saw at Faxing Temple looked like a woman no matter how you looked at it.

   After all, women look more kind and good-looking than men with beards and rough faces. It is easy to think of the compassionate Guanyin.

   Nick also saw Maitreya Buddha in Faxing Temple. This time it was all golden. Although he also opened his eyes, he didn't look as scary as the white Maitreya Buddha.

   It's just that his smile is very stiff, like a very happy person, seeing some horrible scene, the smile froze on his face.

   "The sedan chair is here." The lifter said behind Nick.

  Nick retracted his gaze and walked to the door of the Buddhist temple. A beautiful sedan chair was parked there, and four strong men were about to carry him away.

So Nick stepped into this sedan chair made of bamboo, canvas and oil paper. It felt very comfortable to be carried away. The elastic sedan chair made the sedan chair shake gently, that is, silently, without encountering troublesome collision.

   Just like what the Admiral is doing now, he didn't dare to continue to blatantly protect Nick, so he sent a small sedan to pick him up.

  Compared to the comfortable feeling of sliding along the street, Nick was in a nervous mood, because the sedan chair would pass through the bustling crowd, and at any time, he might encounter a rushing man.

   The bearers shouted "Let me go" as they walked. After all, he was not an official of the imperial court, and he could use a gong and a guard of honor to clear the way.

   But even so, the pedestrians still avoided one after another, because they could not see the person in the sedan chair, and they regarded him as wearing a hat or a rich man.

   They soon arrived at the Admiral's mansion, and the sedan chair was carried directly into the yard. When Nick got off the sedan chair, the sedan chairmen stinks of sweat all over their bodies. The way they looked at Nick made him uncomfortable.

   At this time, Cao Xi appeared, and he was as polite as when he greeted Nick for the first time, and led him to the meeting room where he met for the first time.

"Cao Zuoling is the Admiral's right-hand man, and he is also a prospective son-in-law. You said that he framed you for the sake of his fiancée, but the Admiral would not believe you, so your only backer would be gone." Before leaving, he said in the temple, " You can't talk nonsense, you can answer whatever others ask."

"It's adventurous, new, alluring, which makes many young people imagine, if possible, to create a kind of influence, a kind of trust, which is good for the European family." The priest once said to Nick Said that this is also the role he advocated for Nick.

   Before leaving, Nick left a letter to a friend in France. If he can't hear from him for a long time after receiving the letter, please come to the Faxing Temple in Guangzhou, where someone will know his exact news.

  From now on, Nick will be transformed into a Chinese scholar, with the same Chinese name as those missionaries.

   His name is Pingxi now, yes, a smart person would not call this a name that is easy to generate rich associations, but isn't this what a foreigner who is shallow in knowledge, stupid and clumsy and doesn't understand this country should behave?
