Cultivation: I can reincarnate in the heavens

"Pan'an, you are a girl, why do you think so much?

"Your father has his own considerations, it's not your turn to worry about it."

Another soft female voice came from inside the carriage.

Looking through the gap in the opened reed curtain, one could see that inside the carriage, in addition to Ouyang Pan'an who spoke just now, there was also a beautiful middle-aged woman in her thirties.

Ouyang Zaizhi is nearly seventy years old.

But he is still old-hearted. After his wife passed away at the age of fifty, he took another wife.

"Mom, what you said is wrong."

"If you don't understand the world, you will have trouble getting ahead in your life if you marry a military general in the prosperous times. If you don't marry a scholar, you will be romantic and understand poetry and calligraphy. But if you are in troubled times, you should marry a military general. At least you can guarantee peace and tranquility for a while..."

Ouyang Panan defended himself.

However--

Before she could finish her words, there was a clatter of horse hooves behind her.

Immediately afterwards, a group of Tiqi from the Night Watch Division surrounded him.

"Master Ouyang..."

"The Emperor asked you to submit a letter of national policy before leaving."

Facing the former Prime Minister, even the Night Watch Division did not dare to show any slightness. Therefore, the Tiqi leaders who came to Zhaomayi this time were not hundreds or thousands of households, but dignified commanders of the night patrol department.

"national policy?"

Ouyang Zaizhi was stunned for a moment, then a sarcastic smile appeared on his lips.

He reached the pinnacle of civil service.

When it comes to scheming, no one in the world can compare with him.

Therefore, after Commander Liu said only a few words, he guessed what the national policy that Emperor Chongming wanted was.

It's nothing more than asking him, the former prime minister who abandoned his official position, to take responsibility!

"His Majesty said..."

"After you leave, you will be given the posthumous title Wenzhong. In the three hundred years of our country, only a few people have received such an honor."

"Thunder, rain, and dew are all gifts from God."

After saying that, Commander Liu glanced at the female scroll on the carriage and said in a low voice: "Master Ouyang, please don't make the mistake..."

"I remember……"

"When the emperor was the crown prince, I served as the prince's young master and taught him history..."

Ouyang Zaizhi slowly walked down from the old cow's back and said this unreasonable remark.

After becoming a bachelor of the cabinet, he also served as the first-rank official of the prince's young master.

The late emperor wanted him to become the future prime minister, so he allowed him to enter the East Palace to assist Prince Zuo, with a view to becoming a minister of Conglong in the future.

More than twenty years have passed.

The prince succeeded to the throne and became Emperor Chongming, but the rivers were in decline.

"I have also listened to Master Ouyang's lectures on Confucian classics..."

Commander Liu nodded slightly, dismounted from his horse, held the disciple ceremony, and stood to serve on the left and right, serving Prime Minister Ouyang.

The two looked very much like a master and disciple.

The spring rain in February was as thin as an ox's hair, and it didn't know when it would fall.

Two hundred steps ahead, there is a resting pavilion.

The two of them walked towards the resting pavilion one behind the other.

Ouyang Zaizhi held his hands in front, and Commander Liu held his umbrella behind him.

"Back then, when Academician Su left Beijing..."

"Here too."

"I persuaded him."

"He was holding a piece of paper in his hand, with an anti-poetry written on it, and showed it to me. I read the poem, and after reading it, I decided to kill the person who wrote the anti-poetry. Su Xueshi advised Live with me..."

"This anti-poetry should be very suitable for the occasion."

Sitting on the stone bench, Ouyang Zai held the pen, but he didn't start writing for a long time. He looked at the rain waterfall flowing down from the corner of the pavilion, and then he started writing. While writing, he read: "Look at the world, there are all thieves. What is missing in the way of heaven can only be mended by a man. A good man, no matter his parents, is just for the sake of the common people and not the master, and he will not stop until he kills all the officials. Why did I, a decent man, end up in prison?" prisoner?"

“A strong man drinks all the wine in his bowl and never looks back after a thousand-mile journey.”

"The golden drums are beating together and the crowd is roaring, and the yellow dragon will not stop until it is defeated."

When the words are finished, the pen stops.

He closed his eyes, and a few drops of old tears wet the newly dried ink.

Commander Liu remained silent.

After a long time, he spoke, "This poem is an anti-poem written by Xu Xing. My disciple has seen and read it. However, in my eyes, he is just a prisoner. He can't get out of prison, and he can't turn into a dragon. He’s just a poor man who’s trapped in a corner but still trying to fight..."

"But now he slaps you in the face!"

Ouyang Zaizhi opened his eyes and smiled, "After he was released from prison, he became the majestic King of Punishers. He is on the right path. The people of Guanxi Province have complained about the imperial court for a long time. He entered Guanxi Dao and was like a fish in water. , the gentry quickly supported him and established a firm foothold..."

"At this moment, he has forced me to write national policies for His Majesty."

He seemed to be mocking and pleased.

Xing Tianwang's anti-poetry also has something to do with him. At the beginning, if he had not responded to Su Xueshi's request and given Xu Xing the privilege of using pen and ink in Tianlao, I am afraid that this anti-poetry would not have come out at the right time.

"Master Ouyang..."

"Your Majesty is still waiting in the palace."

Seeing that it was not long, Commander Liu no longer had the patience to wait, so he gave a reminder.

Only important ministers like Ouyang Zaizhi can take this blame.

"No rush, no rush."

"I'll just grind out my ink and start writing."

"As for this poem, I'll give it to Commander Liu."

Ouyang Zaizhi rolled up the calligraphy and handed it to Commander Liu.

"Thank you, Mr. Ouyang."

Commander Liu was stunned for a moment and took the scroll.

Ouyang Shuda, the chief minister of the cabinet, not only ranked first among civil servants in the court, but was also a famous writer in the literary world. His words are worth a thousand dollars.

There are countless people who admire Ouyang Shuda's calligraphy works.

It's just that as the prime minister, Ouyang Shuda knew how to avoid taboos and rarely gave people calligraphy and paintings.

However--

Today, Commander Liu did not want to accept this scroll.

It's not because after Ouyang Zaizhi lost his position, his family was left destitute. But this wording is really too eye-catching, too glaring, and it is a hot potato.

Accepting it, he collected anti-poems. If Emperor Chongming knew about it, he would be accused.

If he doesn't accept it, if Xu Xing's army attacks Shenjing in the future and he doesn't have this scroll... he may not be able to save his life for a while.

Su Xueshi and Ouyang Zai were kind to King Xingtian.

He knew this clearly.

"It seems..."

"Commander Liu is not from Hutu. What he thinks and sees is not bad."

Seeing this scene, the sophisticated Ouyang Zaizhi instantly understood what Commander Liu was thinking.

He stroked his short beard under his chin and smiled.

"The rebels in the green forest can be wiped out by the imperial court with just a few clicks."

"But he is an official who has become a rebel and has reached such a level. Who wouldn't be afraid of him?"

Commander Liu took the scroll and shook his head with a wry smile.

As Emperor Chongming's younger brother, he knew the character of Emperor Chongming very well. With Emperor Chongming here, the possibility of the court's collapse is not small.

For everything, prepare with multiple hands.

Before today's court meeting, his night watch department learned that many officials in Shenjing had secretly sent letters to Xu Xing. However, he did not stop the incident and did not report it to the emperor.

Because most of the officials who delivered the letter were his party members.

It is an alliance with him.

Just like Emperor Chongming wanted to kill a few corrupt officials to fill his treasury and internal funds.

But how to kill?

It can't be killed at all!

Under his "confusion of right and wrong", honest officials and officials who did practical things became corrupt, while corrupt officials were shaped into honest officials. Killing honest officials is constantly cultivating corrupt officials.

Of course, it is not unfair to kill these honest officials.

For example, King Xingtian Xu Xing was considered an upright official, but he also took some money and joined the ranks.

Corruption and bribery are the ticket to the top.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were only divided into big and small greed.
