The wind picked up again, rustling, and You Miao woke up suddenly in a cold sweat.
Tang Bo held a lamp and asked, "Master You?"
You Miao was sweating and gasping for breath. Tang Bo hurriedly put down the lamp, stepped forward, and tried You Miao's forehead.
"Sick?" Tang Bo asked.
You Miao's face was pale, she sat panting and said, "I dreamed... General Nie is back."
Tang Bodeng's expression changed, and then he reluctantly said calmly: "It's just a dream in the day and a dream at night, Master You... Don't... scare yourself."
You Miao reluctantly calmed down, nodded to Tang Bo, and ran out of the political affairs hall. Tang Bo shouted behind him, "Sir You! Where are you going! Calm down! Don't enter the palace!"
The street was empty and empty. You Miao walked around the corner alone. In fact, even he himself didn't know how to sort out the matter, and just ran out in a daze. After breathing for a while under the palace wall, You Miaofang calmed down and walked towards Qin Tianjian in the south of the city instead.
In the summer night, the Milky Way is like a belt, the stars are shining, the whole city is gradually resting, and the lights are scattered.
"Today I got a hexagram." Chen Qing said with a smile: "I didn't expect it to be Lord Shen Zhi."
You Miao smiled and said: "Jian is a different hexagram, the lower gen and the upper ridge overlap, which is beneficial to the southwest, not the northeast, and it is beneficial to see the Lord, Zhenji."
Chen Qing asked, "What kind of wind blows Lord Shen Zhi?"
You Miao said: "I was disturbed by nightmares at night, so I came to visit Lord Chen to solve the confusion in my heart. I hope that Lord will teach me how to get rid of my inner demons."
Chen Qinghui smiled, but didn't ask any more questions, and replied, "It's because you have a lot of government affairs in the daytime, and your mind is restless. The emperor's ninth-fifth honor, Zaifu has Wenqu as a body, and you need to be alert for a moment. body, you can rest assured.”
You Miao didn't rush to talk. He walked to Chen Qing's side and looked up to observe the astronomical phenomena with him. Chen Qing suddenly felt something and asked, "Master You also attends Zhouyi?"
"Mr. taught a little in the past." You Miao replied.
Sun Yu did not believe in ghosts and spirits in those days, and You Miao did not believe in ghosts and spirits since he was a child, but Zhou Yi was a note of Confucius.
"Elder Sun's knowledge is beyond the reach of my generation. The biggest regret in this life is that I didn't have the opportunity to study with Lao Lao." Chen Qing sighed.
"The teacher taught strictly before his death." You Miao sighed unconsciously: "I only learned a little about his ability... Now that I think about it, I often regret it. I knew earlier that I would have worked harder."
In the sky, a meteor streaks across.
You Miao has become a bird of fright. When she came to the star observation platform, she wanted to ask Chen Qing if there were any strange signs in the sky. At this moment, when he saw the meteor, he was even more shocked. When his face changed, Chen Qing saw it and comforted: "Meteor It happens naturally, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
You Miao said: "Lord Jianzheng watching the sky at night, can you gain something?"
Chen Qing shook his head mockingly, but did not answer. You Miao also felt absurd in his heart. No one ever thought of asking God about the Northern Expedition. Instead, it was at this time that he, who should not be superstitious about God's will, became superstitious. Run to ask Bu Cangtian. If tomorrow's courtiers know about it, they will inevitably be speculated on nonsense again.
"For example..." You Miao said, "How about Jiang Xing?"
Chen Qing seemed very funny, and explained to You Miao: "Master You has been overly concerned. Since ancient times, Qin Tianjian has only watched astronomical phenomena. Although he has always been the master of the old stars, he will say that the stars will fall..."
Youmiao said in her heart that you are alright if you don't ask me, but you really dare to say...
"...But I think it's just a phenomenon." Chen Qing said: "People who have a heart will naturally make use of the omen to make an article, but they can't believe it. It's not surprising that the old stars commit crimes from time to time. It's the law of the change of seasons. The fall of the stars is originally a nonsense talk of people pretending to be gods and ghosts in the previous dynasty. Just imagine, adults, how many famous generals have been in the world since history? It’s empty, where can the stars fall?”
You Miao smiled and said, "Yes."
You Miao told Chen Qing about his dream in detail, and after listening to Chen Qing, he comforted: "Sir You is just busy with official business, unsure of his mind, thinking every day and dreaming at night. You and Your Majesty are always worried about the victory of the Northern Expedition. If you lose, you are even more worried that the soldiers and soldiers will be at stake. Usually, the ruler and ministers dare not say this, but if you hold it in your heart, you will have a dream at night."
You Miao thought so too, so she nodded happily, and Chen Qing said again: "Otherwise, look at the stars in the sky, the famous generals in history, the famous ministers, the famous rulers, and the famous ministers emerge in endlessly, and the appearance of every hero will dominate. In a current situation, after the light and heat have passed, it will be like the meteor just now, emitting a dazzling light and disappearing in the night sky. There is an end, and there is a new life, and everything in the world is nothing more than that.”
"What Master Chen said is." You Miao said solemnly: "After being taught, Master Chen can think about it."
"Life is the existence of the Tao, and death is the return of the Tao." Chen Qing smiled and said: "Cultivation of the Tao is to explore life and death, to stand in a broader position than the times, to follow the way of heaven and see the world."
The star observation platform is late at night, the breeze is breezy, and the Milky Way is brilliant.
You Miao and Chen Qing bowed to each other.
The next day, after discussing political affairs, You Miao came to the study, and Zhao Chao asked, "What happened last night? Didn't sleep well? What are you doing out at midnight?"
You Miao smiled and said, "Who said that?"
Zhao Chao flipped through the book and said with a smile, "I was going to talk to you, but Tang Bo said you had a dream and ran out."
You Miao sighed, Zhao Chao saw that You Miao had something on his mind, and asked, "What's wrong?"
You Miao told the details of what happened last night. After Zhao Chao heard it, he smiled and said, "I didn't expect Chen Qing to be such a person."
You Miao knew that Zhao Chao had always hated Taoism. After all, the old emperor did nothing in the palace, alchemy, begging for immortals and writing green poems, so he tossed a good country into this. But he didn't say it in front of Zhao Chao, he just explained: "Everyone has a reason, but some people misunderstood the meaning."
"Yeah." Zhao Chao nodded and said, "In history, there are also sages who ruled the country with the way of Huang Lao, pure and inaction, recuperating, hiding wealth for the people, and making the country strong and prosperous. After the Northern Expedition has been completed, it is time to take it lightly. , relieve the burden of the people these years."
You Miao nodded, pondered, looked at Zhao Chao, but found a smile in his eyes, obviously he was in a good mood today. You Miao's heart moved, and when he was about to ask, a nervous voice came from outside.
"Please see Your Majesty! There is a military report on the front line! General Nie dispatched troops to victory!"
You Miao and Zhao Chao were stunned for a moment, Zhao Chao stepped down quickly, You Miao pushed open the door, and saw Ping Xi, Li Yan and others standing outside the study, the newspaper could not contain their excitement, covered in dust and cluttered loudly. Said: "Your Majesty! General Nie ambushed the Tartar army under Languan on the ninth day of the fifth month. Batu fled and annihilated 50,000 enemies in one fell swoop! General Li Zhifeng successfully intercepted it outside Dongliangguan. At the exhibition, the Tatar army has all retreated! Escaped back to Yanbian, Batu did not know whereabouts in the chaos!"
You Miao: "… "
Zhao Chao: "..."
The joy of everyone was beyond words, and You Miao was too happy to speak. He took a deep breath, knowing that the main enemy force was retreating. As long as Yanbian was captured, Da'an would immediately become an isolated city. The fate of the Tartars, in addition to withdrawing from the Great Wall, would not be possible. There is no other end.
"It's great... it's great..." You Miao murmured, "Thanks to God... Mr. God is blessed by the spirit of heaven..."
Zhao Chao looked at You Miao with a smile, You Miao unknowingly shed tears, Zhao Chao stretched out his arms and hugged You Miao tightly.
Zhao Chao patted You Miao's back with red eyes, and said to You Miao, "I have something to tell you last night, Ziqian."
You Miao was at a loss.
Zhao Chao smiled and said, "You're going to be an uncle."
You Miao: "… "
