Chapter 1414 Surprise (3)
More than perverted, it is simply insane.
Hearing this, Zhu Ping'an did not hesitate to label Chen Hong a "psychopath."
Perhaps Xiao Xizi’s words have some water content, but they are groundless, and there is still some truth, because Chen Hong’s evaluation in history was also very poor, "History of Ming Dynasty·Biography 193·Eunuchs" There are sporadic records about Chen Hong in "2": "The eunuchs Teng Xiang, Meng Chong and Chen Hong who were in charge of the ceremony were favored, and they tried to show off their strange skills and tricks to please the emperor, made Aoshan lanterns, and led the emperor to drink for a long night." Sure enough, there were several Gong Chengshu's shadow.
"Master Xiao Zhu, does he know who this old dog Chen Hong admires second?" Xiao Xizi asked again.
Who is the second person you admire?
Zhu Pingan thought for a while, and according to the routine of his first idol, his second idol must also be a eunuch.
"Zhao Gao?" Zhu Pingan replied uncertainly.
Xiao Xizi shook his head.
"Gao Lishi? Zheng He, the eunuch of the Three Treasures? Wang Zhen?" Zhu Pingan thought for a while and gave a few more names.
"Master Xiao Zhu, none of them." Xiao Xizi shook his head and revealed the answer directly, "The second person Chen Hong admires as an old dog is Qiu Xuanqing."
"Qiu Xuanqing?" Zhu Pingan heard Yan, once again looked confused, "What's going on? I am considered a well-informed and knowledgeable person in modern times. Why are there two historical celebrities who I have never heard of appearing today?"
"I have heard of Qiu Chuji, but I have never heard of Qiu Xuanqing. I would like to ask Eunuch Xi for advice." Zhu Ping'an cupped his hands and said.
"Master Xiao Zhu, you are so polite. Qiu Xuanqing is our Taoist master in the early Ming Dynasty. He is really related to the old immortal Qiu Chuji. The old immortal Qiu Chuji is the famous 'Quanzhen Seven Sons' and the Quanzhen Sect." Qiu Xuanqing, the fifth headmaster of Zhendao, is also a Quanzhen sect, but he is more than a hundred years later than the old immortal Qiu Chuji."
Xiao Xizi bowed and explained.
Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, he just said casually, but he didn't expect that Qiu Xuanqing was really related to 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 immortal Zhang Sanfeng as the abbot of Wulong Palace. In the early Ming Dynasty, the court sent a minister to visit the masters and hermits in the mountains and forests. Hongwu Fourteenth In the year, Qiu Xuanqing was promoted to the When he was appointed as an official in the imperial court, he was worshiped as the censor. Every time he met the Great Sacrifice of Heaven and Earth, Taizu lived in the Zhai Palace and asked Qiu Xuanqing about Qingyu. Xuanqing's answers were all answered quickly. The Minister of Taichang Temple has been granted the title of Emperor of the Three Dynasties, and his ancestor was Mengtu."
Xiao Xizi said slowly.
Zhu Pingan was even more confused as he listened. This is a Taoist priest. How could a eunuch named Chen Hong admire a Taoist priest?
The two of them are completely unrelated to each other.
Or is it that the current sage worships Taoism and likes to refine elixirs and practice Taoism, so Chen Hong deliberately said that his idol is Qiu Xuanqing, and deliberately moved closer to the sage's interests? ! Although it is a bit far-fetched, it seems to make sense. For example, if some modern leaders like to play table tennis, then there must be many subordinates who like and are good at playing table tennis.
"Does Mr. Xiao Zhu know about Yanjiu Festival?" Xiao Xizi asked meaningfully when she saw Zhu Ping'an's confused look.
"You know, the Yanjiu Festival on the 19th day of the first lunar month is also called the Banquet Qiu Festival." Zhu Pingan nodded. The Yanjiu Festival was very popular in the Ming Dynasty. It was the hottest and most popular festival besides the Spring Festival, New Year's Eve, Lantern Festival and other festivals. On this day, people went to the temple, traveled around, and walked around, which was very lively. Zhu Pingan also participated twice when he was in Xiahe Village.
However, doesn’t this festival originate from the birthday of Quanzhen Taoist leader Qiu Chuji? Qiu Chuji was born on the 19th day of the first lunar month, which is also the same day as the Yanjiu Festival. At that time, Qiu Chuji once 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 to commemorate him. Legend has it that on this day, Qiu Chuji will also descend to the mortal world and meet people who are destined to meet him. If people are destined to meet him, they can seek cures from diseases and prolong their lives.
So, what does this festival, which was created because of Qiu Chuji, have to do with Qiu Xuanqing? !
"Master Xiao Zhu, although it is the same day, what I am talking about is the Jiujie Festival of Eunuchs, the eunuch's eunuchs, not the Jiujie Festival of Yan."
Xiao Xizi shook his head slightly.
“Nine eunuchs?” Zhu Pingan was at a loss again.
"Master Xiao Zhu, please listen to what I am saying in detail. One Spring Festival, Qiu Xuanqing performed a sacrifice and performed meritorious service. Taizu specially rewarded him with two maids. Because it was a gift from Taizu, Qiu Xuanqing could not resist the order and return it. However, in order to avoid suspicion and concentrate on practice, on the nineteenth day of the first lunar month, Qiu Xuanqing committed suicide in the palace. . Gradually, this day became the Jiujiu Festival, which was very popular in our inner court. People in the capital would worship and pray on this day every year. Moreover, this festival was also very famous among the people in the capital. Looking for a boy who looks like a girl near Baiyun Temple means that he is the reincarnation of Qiu Xuanqing," Xiao Xizi explained.
Uh, that’s it. Only then did Zhu Ping’an realize.
"That old dog Chen Hong admires Qiu Xuanqing because he admires Qiu Xuanqing's behavior of committing suicide in order to concentrate on his spiritual practice. He also often said that all real scholars should learn from Qiu Xuanqing and commit suicide in order to concentrate on their studies. Only in this way can they be pure. Desire, concentrate on the documents and not be distracted by women."
Xiao Xizi added.
Hearing this, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but twitch his lips. This Chen Hongruo is really as Xiao Xizi said, he is really a pervert among perverts, and his whole person is distorted. When I meet Chen Hong in the future, I have to be ten million times more careful.
After another moment of chatting, after Liu Mu, Liu Dadao and others finished carrying the cannons, muskets and lead bullets, Zhu Ping'an handed over and left.
After leaving Eunuch He and unloading the goods at the Inspector's Office, Zhu Ping'an and his party set off again to the navy camp of Linhuai Marquis.
The Marquis of Linhuai promised to give 100 horses yesterday, and Zhu Ping'an was going to receive them, but instead of taking them away immediately, he stayed at the navy camp until everything was ready, and then took them away when he went to the regiment training station. It could be used as a means of transportation. .
Arrived at the navy camp, Linhuai Marquis gave Zhu Ping'an another surprise. In addition to one hundred horses, the Marquis of Linhuai also gave Zhu Pingan an additional five hundred kilograms of cotton to help Zhu Pingan train to keep out the cold in winter.
After Zhu Pingan learned about it, he realized that he had given the Marquis of Linhuai the suggestion last time to "set up an additional military officer to take overall control of Huaihai, supervise the coastal defense, and administer the Su and Song prefectures." Linhuai Marquis After adopting the proposal, news came from the capital today. Although the emperor has not yet approved it, it has been discussed by the cabinet.
This means there is something going on.
The Marquis of Linhuai was so happy that he gave himself an additional 500 kilograms of cotton, and said that he would be rewarded with a generous reward in the future. (End of chapter)
