Chapter 53 See it out

When talking about the Chenghua Emperor, the first thing most people think of is the love between brother and sister. He fell in love with a palace maid who was seventeen years older than him, and fell in love with her to the death.

It was this emperor who instituted the Ming Dynasty's official system.

To put it simply, the idea of ​​passing on officials means that the emperor does not follow any formal official selection process of the imperial court. The emperor bypasses the six ministries of the cabinet and directly issues a decree that whoever he wants can become an official.

At its peak, there were thousands of ministers in the Chenghua Dynasty. In addition to Taoist priests, the rest of them had various professions, including medicine sellers, blacksmiths, doctors, painters, and carpenters.

It can be said that it is a gathering of talents, young and old.

This is not a mockery, there are many people out there who do have real talents and learning.

It's just that if you want to be a minister, besides talent, there is another selection criterion, which is money.

As long as I give you enough money, I will give you an official title.

To put it bluntly, this is actually a means of generating income, and it is far from selling an official position, because these ministers have no real power and do not participate in the court's decision-making. They just have an official title.

The main reason why he was criticized by the officials was that all the money he earned went into the emperor's own pocket.

But after Emperor Hongzhi came to the throne, he dismissed all the ministers in the palace, and Lingmiao Laodao was naturally one of them.

"Since Pindao came out of the palace in the early years of Hongzhi, he has been focusing on the mountains and rivers, and has been like a solitary cloud and wild crane. Later, Pindao noticed the celestial phenomena, and suddenly his heart moved. He thought that Pindao had a disaster to overcome.

So he founded the Lingmiao Sect, hey."

The old Taoist priest sighed, "What a disaster."

After that, he picked up the bowl and drank the rest of the noodle soup in one gulp. Then he looked at the disciples, and he suddenly lost his temper. He no longer had the image of a master when he was bragging.

"Those stupid disciples are Pindao's disaster! Ever since he accepted them, Pindao has suffered eight lifetimes of bad luck. He has been unable to make elixirs, the fire in the furnace has gone out, and even this yellow and white thing has been committed by Pindao.

Taboo, I have been short of money all day long, otherwise how could I be in such a miserable state and be laughed at by the two donors."

The few disciples were too busy eating noodles to talk to each other. Only the talkative one put down his bowl and said vaguely: "Master, what you said makes no sense. I was the first to follow you. When I first met you,

, you are even more lazy than you are now, being a beggar with your disciples."

The clever old Taoist was just talking nonsense, but this upright disciple exposed it, and also revealed the shameful story of becoming a beggar. He was so angry that he almost swore, "What do you know! Being a beggar is just a game in the world of mortals.

There are all kinds of things in the world.”

Xia Yuan couldn't help laughing. He finally understood that this old Taoist priest was not a bad person except for bragging. Moreover, he had always been in a miserable state, so he interrupted: "By the way, I

I remember just now that you said you had been to the home of a man named Zhao Fugui, and that there was a bloody disaster in their home."

Before Xia Yuan could finish, the old Taoist sighed again, "People nowadays are blinded by a leaf, so how can they see Mount Tai? When passing by Zhao Fugui's house that day, the poor Taoist had a thought in his mind, and then he used the method of looking forward to Qi, and found that Zhao

The rich and wealthy homes are filled with blood."

"Stop, stop, stop."

Hearing this, Zhao Yuerong, who had been listening carefully, couldn't help but feel a sudden change in his heart, and his red lips pursed tightly. Xia Yuan quickly made a pause gesture, "Taoist priest, I suddenly thought of an idiom. Misfortune comes from the mouth.

Come out, I wonder if you have heard of these four words?"

The implicit threat caused the old Taoist priest's expression to freeze, but he soon returned to normal and said with a smile: "Why are you so impatient? I haven't finished speaking yet."

The Zhao family's house was full of blood. I took those stupid disciples to remind him with good intentions, but the mistress of the Zhao family actually kicked him out with a broom. reason?

So I started to do something to make the disaster of the Zhao family go away. Now, the Zhao family's house is full of green energy, and the disaster is gone. Maybe the Zhao family will have the number one scholar in the future."

Hearing this, Zhao Yuerong finally felt relieved, took a small breath, and the nervousness disappeared from his face.

Seeing this scene with his peripheral vision, Xia Yuan achieved his goal and no longer listened to the old Taoist priest's nonsense, although he had to admit that it was very exciting.

He took out a handful of coins from his pocket, settled the bill, said "see you again by fate", and left with his little wife.

When they were far away, Zhao Yuerong suddenly exclaimed. Xia Yuan couldn't help but tilt his head and wondered: "What's wrong with you?"

"Husband, let's go back again."

"What are you going to do back?"

"Go back and ask the Taoist priest to open a ritual ceremony at our house and make our house full of green energy. Then your husband will definitely win the first prize."

As he spoke, Zhao Yuerong weighed his feet and looked behind him, not knowing whether the old Taoist priest had left or not.

If you leave

There won't be any green air floating above that house, and my husband might not be able to get the first prize in the examination.

Thinking of this, she suddenly became anxious and a little annoyed. She took Xia Yuan's hand and urged: "Husband, let's go back to find him quickly."

"Go back, that old man is just a liar who talks nonsense. Didn't you see that?"

"You can tell." Zhao Yuerong looked solemn, "He is not the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva at all, he is a god."

Damn it!

Xia Yuan was now ready to beat people up. Although what the old man said just now was all bragging, he was also very serious about it. He thought it was interesting so he didn't interrupt, but he ignored this girl's words in the process. IQ.

It's fine now. The old man boasted nonsense and deceived his silly lolita into so many people that they believed him.

If it weren't for the large number of people on the other side and a few apprentices, and he felt like he was going to be at a disadvantage, he would definitely go back and beat the old man up now, making him admit that he was an old charlatan.

After taking a few deep breaths, Xia Yuan calmed down and held her little hand with his backhand, "Let's go back to the inn. Today I will break the feudal superstition for you!"
