Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 1414 Surprise (3)

   Far more than abnormal, she is simply crazy.

  When Zhu Pingan heard the words, he did not hesitate to label Chen Hong as an "abnormal neuropathy".

Maybe Xiaoxizi’s words are a bit watery, but there are groundless rumors, and the facts are still a little bit, because Chen Hong’s evaluation in history is also very bad. There are sporadic records of Chen Hong in "Ming History Biography 193 Eunuch II": "The eunuchs Tengxiang, Mengchong, and Chen Hongfang, who were in charge of the rites, were favored. They competed to decorate with strange skills to please the emperor. They made Aoshan lanterns and guided the emperor to drink for a long night." Sure enough, there was a bit of Gong Chengshu's shadow.

   "Master Xiao Zhu, who does Chen Hong, an old dog, he admires second?" Xiao Xizi asked again.

  Who is the second most admired person?

   Zhu Pingan thought for a while, and according to the routine of the first idol, his second idol must also be a eunuch.

   "Zhao Gao?" Zhu Pingan replied uncertainly.

  Xiao Xizi shook her head.

   "Gao Lishi? Three treasures **** Zheng He? Wang Zhen?" Zhu Pingan thought for a while, and gave a few more names.

   "Lord Zhu, neither." Xiao Xizi shook his head and revealed the answer directly, "The second person Chen Hong admires is Qiu Xuanqing."

"Qiu Xuanqing?" Zhu Pingan was once again at a loss when he heard the words. What's going on? I'm a well-informed and well-informed person in modern times. Why are there two famous historical figures I haven't heard of coming out today? .

   "I've heard of Qiu Chuji, but I haven't heard of Qiu Xuanqing, so I ask Eunuch Xi for advice." Zhu Pingan cupped his hands.

"My lord Zhu, you are welcome. Qiu Xuanqing is our master of Taoism in the early Ming Dynasty. He really has a relationship with the old **** Qiu Chuji. The old **** Qiu Chuji is the famous "Seven Sons of Quanzhen" of Quanzhen Sect and the fifth head of Quanzhen Taoism Qiu Xuanqing is also taught by Quanzhen, but it is more than a hundred years later than the old **** Qiu Chuji."

  Xiao Xizi bowed and explained.

  Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth. He was just talking casually. He didn't expect that Qiu Xuanqing really had something to do with Qiu Chuji, and he was Qiu Chuji's N-generation disciple.

"Qiu Xuanqing was fortunate enough to meet Zhang Sanfeng, a master of Taoism in Wudang Mountain, and was recommended by the old **** Zhang Sanfeng as the abbot of Wulong Palace. Through selection and recommendation, Qiu Xuanqing was promoted to be an official in the imperial court, and the official paid homage to the supervisory censor. Whenever he encountered a great sacrifice to heaven and earth, the Taizu lived in the Zhai Palace and asked Qiu Xuanqing about the weather, and Xuanqing's answers were quickly fulfilled every time. Soon he was promoted to the Minister of Taichang Temple, and he was appointed for three generations, and his ancestor was Mengxiu."

  Xiao Xizi said slowly.

  Zhu Ping'an was even more confused when he heard it. This is a Taoist priest. Why does Chen Hong, an eunuch, worship a Taoist priest?

  The two are completely irrelevant.

   Or is it said that today's sage worships Taoism and likes alchemy and Taoism, so Chen Hong deliberately said that he worships Qiu Xuanqing, and deliberately draws closer to the sage's interest? ! Although it is a bit far-fetched, it seems to make sense. For example, some leaders in modern times like to play table tennis, so there must be many subordinates who like and are good at playing table tennis.

   "Does Master Xiao Zhu know about the Yanjiu Festival?" Seeing Zhu Ping'an's bewildered look, Xiao Xizi asked meaningfully.

   "I know, the nineteenth day of the first lunar month is also called the Yanqiu Festival." Zhu Ping'an nodded. The Yanjiu Festival was very popular in the Ming Dynasty. It was the most popular and popular festival except for the Spring Festival, New Year’s Eve, and Lantern Festival. Zhu Pingan also participated in it twice when he was in Xiahe Village.

  However, isn't this festival derived from the birthday of Quanzhen Taoist--Qiu Chuji? At that time, Qiu Chuji persuaded Genghis Khan to kill less people, thus saving the lives of many people in the world. This is the famous "stop killing with one word" in history. In order to thank Qiu Chuji for his great kindness, people specially set his birthday as a holiday commemoration. Legend has it that on this day, Qiu Chuji will also descend to the mortal world to meet with predestined people. If people meet by predestined relationship, they will be cured of illness and prolong their lives.

  So, what does this festival have to do with Qiu Xuanqing because of Qiu Chuji? !

   "My lord Zhu, although it is the same day, but the younger one is talking about the **** nine festivals, **** eunuchs, not Yan nine festivals."

  Xiao Xizi slightly shook her head.

   "Eunuch Nine Festivals?" Zhu Pingan was at a loss again.

"Master Xiao Zhu, please listen to me carefully. Once during the Spring Festival, Qiu Xuanqing made sacrifices, and the Taizu specially rewarded him with two court ladies. Because it was a gift from the Taizu, Qiu Xuanqing could not resist the decree and return it. Concentrating on cultivation, on the nineteenth day of the first lunar month, Qiu Xuanqing retired from the palace. Gradually, this day became the Eunuch Festival, which is quite popular in our inner court, and every year this day is worshiped and prayed for. Moreover, this This festival is also very famous among the people in the capital. On this day, people will look for a boy who looks as handsome as a girl near the Baiyun Temple in the early morning of this day, referring to him as the reincarnation of Qiu Xuanqing." Xiaoxizi explained.

  Uh, so Zhu Ping'an finally understood.

"That old dog Chen Hong admires Qiu Xuanqing because he admires Qiu Xuanqing's behavior of leaving the palace in order to concentrate on cultivation. He also often said that true scholars should learn from Qiu Xuanqing. In order to concentrate on studying, everyone should leave the palace, so that they can be pure-minded. Desire, concentrate on the copywriting, not distracted by female sex."

  Xiao Xizi added again.

  Zhu Ping'an couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth when he heard the words. This Chen Hongruo is really like what Xiao Xizi said, he is really a pervert among perverts, and his whole body is distorted. If you meet Chen Hong in the future, you have to be a million times more careful.

   After talking for a while, after Liu Mu, Liu Dadao and others finished carrying the bowl guns, firecrackers and lead bullets, Zhu Pingan bowed his hands and said goodbye.

  Leaving from Eunuch He, and unloading at the Yamen of the Inspectorate, Zhu Ping'an and his party set off again to the naval camp of Linhuaihou.

The Marquis of Linhuai promised to give one hundred poor horses yesterday, and Zhu Ping'an was going to receive them, but instead of taking them away immediately, he stayed in the navy camp and took them away when everything was ready, and then took them away when he went to the regiment training camp, which could be used as a means of transportation .

   Arriving at the navy camp, Marquis Linhuai gave Zhu Pingan another surprise. In addition to a hundred rough horses, the Marquis of Linhuai also gave Zhu Pingan an additional five hundred catties of cotton to help Zhu Pingan's regiment practice winter cold.

After Zhu Pingan learned about it, he realized that the last time he had given Linhuaihou the suggestion of "adding a general officer, controlling Huaihai, admiral Haiphong, and administering the prefectures of Su and Song". There was news from the capital. Although the Holy Majesty has not yet approved it, the cabinet has already discussed it.

  This shows that there is drama.

  Happy, Marquis Linhuai added five hundred catties of cotton to himself, and said that there would be a good reward in the future.
