Chapter 2146 Master Li Shaojun
In the eyes of the new emperor, Zhang Xuezhou is undoubtedly a young official on the new emperor's side.
But in the eyes of Zhuang Qingzhai and others, Zhang Xuezhou was an official appointed by Anle Palace, and the Empress Dowager must have a reason for making such an appointment.
Even if Zhang Xuezhou does not take office for three months, he will not impeach the other party because of this.
Some people originally wanted to test the situation and see what the attitude of the imperial censor Zhuang Qingzhai was, but when Zhang Xuezhou repeatedly used Zhuang Qingzhai's court uniform to make excuses, Zhuang Qingzhai did not refute, no matter how stupid everyone was He also knew Zhuang Qingzhai's tacit attitude.
Zhuang Qingzhai, the imperial censor, did not speak, and no one in the court had any grudge against Zhang Xuezhou. Everyone chose to remain silent and acquiesced to Zhang Xuezhou's free salary.
Although Zhang Xuezhou was jumping up and down and making a fuss today, no one really criticized Zhang Xuezhou, and no one complained about him not coming to court for three months.
There is also a very interesting point in the court meeting, that is, the new emperor entered the main hall of Weiyang Palace, as if he came just to change the court uniform.
After the court service system was passed, the new emperor did not stay too much and did not mention other things.
“To the Queen Mother, the whole thing is like this!”
It was rare for the new emperor to interfere in court affairs, so Zhuang Qingzhai chose to go to Anle Palace to report the matter in person.
“Got it!”
Behind the screen, the Empress Dowager replied feebly.
"Is there anything else?" the Queen Mother asked.
“I would like to ask how to treat this Taizhong doctor?” Zhuang Qingzhai asked for instructions: “He seems to be somewhat hostile to me!”
"He is just a Taizhong doctor whose rank is higher than that of a thousand stones. No matter how hostile he is, he can't sway you, one of the three princes," the Empress Dowager said.
"I understand!"
Zhuang Qingzhai bowed in agreement.
Zhuang Qingzhai understood something, but he really didn't understand why the Queen Mother was so friendly to Zhang Xuezhou, and even interceded for Zhang Xuezhou.
With the words of the Empress Dowager, unless Zhang Xuezhou wanted to overthrow Zhuang Qingzhai, Zhuang Qingzhai would not be able to argue with Zhang Xuezhou.
In the end, he had no choice but to restrain his thoughts and respectfully left the Anle Palace.
"Taoist Master Li of Yunyi Taoist Temple has arrived!"
Zhuang Qingzhai had just left the main entrance of the hall when he heard a call from the distance, and a eunuch chose to announce it.
The normal reporting procedure is to pass the message layer by layer, approve it after reporting, and then summon people.
But now it is moving directly and smoothly without any delay, more like announcing that it has arrived.
This kind of treatment is higher than Zhuang Qingzhai's "given official position" to Shizhong, and is almost like equal friends.
When the sound of footsteps came from a distance, Zhuang Qingzhai saw an old man with white hair leading a young female Taoist boy. This made Zhuang Qingzhai take a look, and then quickly looked away. He turned back and even turned slightly sideways to signal the other party to pass.
"Daozhang Li, there is a dinner at Zhuang's house. I wonder if Daozhang Li is free to go and have a drink!"
If there is anything that has caught the attention of senior officials in Chang'an City recently, Li Shaojun is undoubtedly the one. One of them.
This is a guest of Anle Palace, who goes to Anle Palace for banquets from time to time.
The other party had a good relationship with the Empress Dowager, which undoubtedly attracted many high-ranking officials to make friends with him.
Li Shaojun is seriously ill, but his eyesight is extraordinary. He can not only identify various types of ancient texts, but also study antiquities.
Many big families in Chang'an City mostly have some ancient artifacts and ancient books hidden in their collections. Some of these items are as old as a hundred years, and some are as old as hundreds of years.
Although the time is only a short hundred years, to the contemporary Han people, this time is like several completely different eras, or even eras with different civilizations.
Before the great unification of the Qin Dynasty, there were more than ten large dynasties in Nanfangbuzhou, and earlier there were hundreds.
If we count the enfeoffment years of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were hundreds of dynasties.
Many dynasties did not have unified writing, language, weights and measures and other systems, and they all developed their own territories.
This situation has gradually formed a situation where hundreds of schools of thought are competing with each other. Many important antiquities have different writings, and the definitions of related words are also different. Later generations want to refer to ancient documents through the writings of the Han Dynasty. Almost impossible. People who are good at antiquities research are extremely rare.
Li Shaojun is undoubtedly one of them.
Although the other party could not identify everything, Li Shaojun recognized a lot of things, especially the bronze inscriptions engraved by Qi Huangong, the overlord of the great country, five hundred years ago in the royal family.
This kind of inscription imprinted a method of cultivation on Duke Huan of Qi, which even made the new emperor extremely happy.
Identifying bamboo slips from various countries more than a hundred years ago is a difficult task. Li Shaojun's recognition directly across five hundred years also attracted great fame. Many aristocratic families in Chang'an City were waiting to invite Li Shaojun to the banquet, and then in During the banquet, take the items and enjoy them together.
When Zhuang Qingzhai met Li Shaojun, he couldn't help but quickly extended an invitation.
“Since you are so interested, Pindao will naturally visit you in the future!”
Li Shaojun's salty voice came, which made Zhuang Qingzhai extremely happy.
Anyway, even if he is already ranked among the three masters and has reached the solitary realm, Zhuang Qingzhai still has some upward thoughts and yearns for a higher level of true self realm.
Cultivation in the realm of true self is very difficult, so borrowing some ancient methods for reference has become the choice of many people.
Zhuang Qingzhai undoubtedly also wants to try his luck and see if what he has harvested over the years can be used.
“What did you call me?”
Li Shaojun walked leisurely past Zhuang Qingzhai without stopping in front of Zhuang Qingzhai. The female Taoist boy beside Li Shaojun took a bamboo slip to record.
"My name is Zhuang Qingzhai, and I am the imperial censor of the court. My home is just two miles away from the palace. It is the closest to the palace!"
Zhuang Qingzhai Happy replied.
This made Cai Ma, who was Li Shaojun's Taoist boy, nod his head, casually wrote the word "dirty" on the bamboo slips, and drew two circles instead of the word "Qingzhai" to indicate to himself Already noted it down.
“I don’t know what ancient writing this Taoist disciple used to record it?”
Zhuang Qingzhai stood on tiptoes and took a look. He felt that Cai Ma's record was extremely mysterious. He actually used one word and two circles to replace many of what he said.
He recognized the character that Cai Ma wrote crookedly, but Zhuang Qingzhai found it completely incomprehensible when it was explained in Chinese characters.
"The apprentices are so capable, the master is even more powerful, the Taoist priest is amazing!"
When Cai Ma quickly followed Li Shaojun, Zhuang Qingzhai couldn't help but stop and watch for a long time. , and then left Anle Palace shaking his head.
“How long does that sense function last?”
"You can live for at least twenty years!"
"He invited me as a guest, can you find his home?"
"Then I will recognize him only if he stands at the door. Him!"
As he approached the gate of Anle Palace, Li Shaojun turned his head slightly and took off his superior demeanor, and couldn't help but ask Cai Ma a few more questions.
When the answer given by the illiterate Cai Ma came out, Li Shaojun felt that the banquet had gone bad again.
He and Cai Ma were not familiar with each other, so he didn't know the official's last name, where he lived, whether he was willing to host a banquet for him, and whether he could catch the other party's banquet in time.
After three months of bumping into each other, Li Shaojun almost suffered a bloody head injury because of these things in Chang'an City. There were obviously a lot of advantages waiting for him to take advantage of, but Li Shaojun participated several times.
This made him extremely sad, and he felt that he missed Zhang Xuezhou's careless internal response.
“I don’t know where that bastard has gone. He has no time to cooperate with me in causing trouble!”
It is rare to be a member of the upper class, and it is also rare to have so many fools give away their treasures to Watch for yourself.
After receiving the Empress Dowager's approval and stabilizing his possession of a Taoist temple in Chang'an City, Li Shaojun felt that he only needed to take advantage of all the opportunities, but there was a shortage of three.
As a master, Li Shaojun must maintain a masterly demeanor. He must come and go gracefully. He must not lose his image in any way, let alone ask other people in a low voice at will.
Obviously he only needs to find out who invited him to the banquet when and where he lived, but he couldn't handle such a seemingly simple thing. As for a lost guy like Cai Ma, he couldn't do it. Anyway, the success rate of the other party's work is not high.
In the past, I felt that there was no problem without Zhang Xuezhou, but now Li Shaojun misses him very much and feels that it is impossible to leave him.
