Chapter 1342: Journey
It is indeed possible that Dong Zhongshu will return to Chang'an City.
It was rare for Zhang Xuezhou to be free at home, but he also heard about it from Kong Anguo's visit after he had washed his clothes.
“You are saying that Shen Peigong applied to the imperial court to bid farewell and guaranteed that the Confucians of the Lu sect would never enter the Chang’an imperial court?”
“Yes, the imperial chariots and horses have gone to escort Shen Peigong back to Lu. Today They left early!”
Kong Anguo nodded repeatedly.
It is a good thing that Shen Peigong left Chang'an City. It means the complete defeat of Confucianism in Chang'an City, and it also means that the Confucian family will never be used by Shen Peigong to do things again.
Although it is said that Shen Peigong cursed the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager has not found any evidence, and it is even more difficult to determine the truth of the matter.
Behind him stood thousands of Confucian scholars, and many Confucian scholars had even been inserted into various regional departments of the imperial court, which became Shen Peigong's life-saving talisman.
As long as Shen Peigong does not cause trouble in Chang'an City, the meaning of the other party's life is higher than death.
Of course, if Shen Peigong does not know how to advance or retreat, and has no guarantee, the Empress Dowager will most likely be ruthless in eradicating the problem, even if it causes Confucian grievances.
Added to the fact that Shen Peigong was dying and seriously ill, the fight ended like this.
Although the imperial court escorted Shen Peigong back to Lu, it seemed more like surveillance and exploration.
In this kind of fight, one person knows how to give in, while the other person is unwilling and unable, so he finally chooses to give in.
The confrontation between the two was not fierce. After fighting in the air, the dust settled.
Thinking of the great Confucian Yuan Gu who was scolded away, Dong Zhongshu who was forced to leave, and the great Confucian Meicheng who died of illness on the way, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but sigh a little.
“So it won’t be long before Mr. Dong returns to Chang’an City!”
Dong Zhongshu is not as good as others, so he agreed to Shen Peigong’s request to retreat. Now Shen Pei Gong is no longer in Chang’an City. Dong Zhongshu can also come back.
Zhang Xuezhou made some calculations while talking with Kong Anguo, and felt that his good days were getting closer and closer.
This not only involves the learning of Huangsha Sect's techniques, but also involves the connections in the court.
Although Zhang Xuezhou is willing to follow Yao Yuanguang's suggestion of not forming a party, his friends are obviously not in this group. Friends who have certain connections are good for him, especially people like Dong Zhongshu who are also seeking fortune.
"Brother Dongfang, Your Majesty has given us an edict to accompany you. Where are you going?"
Kong Anguo is not just idle at Zhang Xuezhou's house to chat, but he has something he wants to ask. .
Kong Anguo cannot understand the current situation in the court at all.
He just felt that His Majesty seemed to be the master of the Han Dynasty, but he didn't look like a master.
At this time, King Huainan was still in Chang'an City, and the new emperor wanted to travel far away, completely putting aside the affairs of the court.
Kong Anguo felt that this was very bad. It was an important matter for the feudal princes and kings to bring many followers into Chang'an City. If they were more suspicious, some emperors would be suspicious and wanted to rebel, but the new emperor didn't care about anything. It is completely inconsistent with the situation described in the book.
"Your Majesty's trip should be to worship ancestors," Zhang Xuezhou replied casually: "Let's just run along and meet people."
"The matter of worshiping ancestors is indeed very important!"
If you tell Kong Anguo something else, Kong Anguo feels that the emperor's behavior is ridiculous, but there is no problem in worshiping ancestors.
In Confucian classics, filial piety and brotherhood are a very important component.
If a person is filial to his parents and obedient to his elder brothers, he rarely misbehaves.
Corresponding filial piety and brotherhood is an extremely important criterion. The new emperor's filial piety and brotherhood prove that the other party is not an absurd person, and it also conforms to Kong Anguo's aesthetic concept.
"I heard that I will leave in two days. I will prepare a new set of clothes, and I will not lose the face of His Majesty in worshiping ancestors," Kong Anguo said happily.
"One set...it's okay to prepare two or three sets of new clothes," Zhang Xuezhou said.
"Brother Dongfang has the spirit of a gentleman, and he is truly a role model for our generation!" Kong Anguo said in a hurry. It was not until Kong Anguo left happily that Zhang Xuezhou came back to his senses.
“This ancestor worship is not going to Yangling!”
The new emperor’s ancestor worship is really to worship his ancestors, not to worship Emperor Jing.
Yangling is already in chaos, and the court may have to clean up the mess, so no one can get through for a while.
Thinking of the long journey that the new emperor once mentioned to Zhang Xuezhou, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the new emperor's ancestor worship would be far away.
“I didn’t expect to leave Chang’an City in two days!”
Zhang Xuezhou thought about himself, who was not very mobile.
If the new emperor doesn't mind, he can bring his family to take care of him, and even invite a medical officer to accompany him. If there are not many vacancies in the convoy, he will have to rely on the court's arrangements for everything.
After finally settling down and staying away from many disturbing things, Zhang Xuezhou did not expect to set off again so soon.
"I'm really working hard, and I can't take any time off at all!"
Although he was nagging and dissatisfied, Zhang Xuezhou was still very satisfied with the trip.
He obtained Sui Houzhu and temporarily left Chang'an City to avoid involving the King of Huainan.
Compared with the usual short-term interactions with the new emperor, this time he will have a relatively long period of time around the new emperor, and he can also feel the new emperor clearly at close range, paving the way for practicing luck. Trivial issues.
If given enough opportunities, Zhang Xuezhou might even take this opportunity to start practicing luck.
After experiencing the practice of the "Grave Sutra" and having Rong Tianding promote the "Grave Sutra" in Chang'an City, Zhang Xuezhou has figured out some tips for practicing movement skills.
This kind of practice is definitely not about who is more diligent, but about who can insert the right point at the right time, so that they have enough power to push.
He has practiced the Tomb Sutra for a long time, but it only took a moment to realize his wish with the help of Emperor Jing.
The same is true for the starting point of luck training.
As long as he finds the right opportunity, Zhang Xuezhou can get twice the result with half the effort by embarking on the practice of luck.
The only thing that worries Zhang Xuezhou at the moment is that his practice of luck will inevitably conflict with the new emperor, and this conflict will even be difficult to reconcile.
If Dong Zhongshu, who also practices luck, cannot find a solution, there is a high probability that the two will confront each other in the future.
“It will last at least eighteen years!”
Zhang Xuezhou thought about his physical condition and felt that his luck would last at least eighteen years.
If he can't soar into the sky to escape the demon from outside, it will be useless to ask for luck after his failure.
Zhang Xuezhou hopes that the conflict between him and the new emperor will come later after practicing his luck, and it is best for him to survive the disaster safely.
If the troubles caused by the extraterrestrial demons can be solved, it will be no problem even if he leaves the Han Dynasty to avoid conflicts.
Zhang Xuezhou thought for a while and couldn't help but look in the direction of Dong Zhongshu's mansion.
If the opportunity arises to practice movement skills, Zhang Xuezhou obviously cannot wait to discuss it with Dong Zhongshu, but will choose to talk about it after getting in the car.
As for the subsequent problems, they will undoubtedly be solved later.
"No one can guarantee that practice will go smoothly!"
After thinking about the messy realm technique that I had practiced, I finally entered the body transformation realm. The opportunity for practice obviously went beyond the traditional step-by-step practice. Zhang Xuezhou could not help but do the same. I deeply agree.
