Chapter 52 Nanyong Tiangongyuan, the wizard Mo Zhanao
The next day.
Long Qingyun slept a little lazy, opened the window, and the sun shone in. It was already time.
The sky is clear and the wind is smooth.
Long Qingyun walked through the winding corridor and saw Zhan Aoshuang standing in the middle of the courtyard from afar. Chu Zhaolong stood beside him, and two rows of gang members standing neatly in front of him.
"Four Tigers of Cuibaozhai" Chen Zhaohu, Lei Kuohu are among the list, Zhou Peng and Zhang Ying are also among them. Huang Yuanhao has already bid farewell yesterday.
Zhan Ao's eyebrows are as white as green feathers, his skin is fair and beautiful, but his words are sonorous and powerful and majestic.
She said aloud: "From today on, Chu Zhaolong will assist me in managing the Mingzhou Port semicolon. Uncle Lei, Zhou Peng and Zhang Ying will be transferred from Lin'an headquarters to our semicolon."
Zhan Aoshuang's voice was ups and downs, and he continued: "From now on, Uncle Chen will be a full-time employee in the internal affairs, and Uncle Lei will be responsible for external affairs." His expression was calm and capable, and he looked like he had been practicing for a long time and was quite organized.
Zhan Aoxue stood under the pillar and watched his sister give orders, and his eyes looked at Long Qingyun's sleeping place from time to time.
As soon as Long Qingyun appeared, Zhan Aoxue suddenly rushed to Long Qingyun and cheered and said happily: "Why did you get up? Let's go and go to Mingzhou City. I'll take you to eat red paste crab."
Zhan Aoxue smiled and innocent, as if he had forgotten that everyone was in the courtyard.
Zhan Aoshuang asked Chen Zhaohu to take Chu Zhaolong and Lei Kuohu to visit the Mingzhou Port branch code to check it out to get familiar with the situation.
After giving the order, he walked straight towards Long Qingyun and said shyly with a pretty face:
"This time thanks to Young Master Long who came forward to help, Cui Baozhai survived the crisis. His father had already sent a letter to Feige and agreed to Chu Zhaolong to assist me in managing the Mingzhou Port branch."
In fact, there is no need for Zhan Aoshuang to explain to Long Qingyun about Cuibaozhai's affairs. Maybe it was out of trust. Moreover, Zhan Aoshuang has always been calm and capable, and is not surprised when things change. At this time, he seemed to feel shy when facing Long Qingyun.
Zhan Aoxue was also quite surprised, "Why is my sister weird today? It seems to be different from the past."
At this moment, a black-clothed escort walked quickly from outside the door, walked to Zhan Aoshuang, bowed and bowed:
"Report to the young lady, there are several men who claim to be Tiangongyuan outside asking for a meeting."
Zhan Aoshuang was slightly stunned, then understood and said calmly: "You can take them to the living room to wait, I will come later."
Long Qingyun was also stunned: "Tiangongyuan? Could it be that it was because of Mo Zhixuan?"
Seeing that Long Qingyun's face was strange, Zhan Aoxue joked: "What, does Young Master Long know the people from Tiangongyuan?"
Long Qingyun smiled awkwardly, about to answer.
Suddenly, a cheerful voice came, "They are here to look for me." The voice was crisp, like a yellow oriole in the valley.
The three of them looked at the sound, and Mo Zhixuan and her mother-in-law walked over from the corridor, and the two of them walked lightly and quickly.
In a moment, I came to the front.
Last night, I heard Mo Zhixuan say: "This mother-in-law is an old servant in the family. She usually calls her Grandma Pang. This time she went out to Mingzhou Port for the first time. Grandma Pang was worried about her, so she followed her."
Zhan Aoshuang was also quite surprised. This Tiangong Courtyard can be said to be famous in Nanyong.
The emperor is the son of heaven and is respectfully called "Son of Heaven".
"The power of the king is granted by God", the emperor is the representative of heaven on earth, and he manages the world on behalf of heaven's will. The will of heaven will be revealed through some special "celestial phenomena", and "astrology" is a way to understand this will.
Tiangongyuan is a department specializing in astronomical phenomena such as "astrology".
"The power of the king is granted by God", the emperor acts on behalf of God to exercise power on earth, because the emperor is the representative of heaven, and all his actions can only be restrained by heaven.
If the emperor is stupid, heaven will come to a warning, so the emperor will take methods and means to make up for his mistakes.
This astronomical vision can not only restrain the infinite expansion of imperial power, but also maintain the solemnity and majesty of imperial power, and play a role in balance, checks and balances, and consolidates imperial power. It is of far-reaching significance.
If there is a strange phenomenon in heaven and the emperor is still unmoved, the officials will try their best to make suggestions. If there is a strange phenomenon in heaven as a hint, such advice will often be twice the result with half the effort and will be accepted by the emperor.
When there is a strange phenomenon in the sky, the emperor will review himself: "Is there something wrong? Did he do it wrong?"
Usually, the emperor would issue a "rebirth of sin" to apologize to God to win the hearts of the people.
Therefore, "astrology" has a special role, which is to restrain imperial power. Astronomical and astrological science also played an important supporting role in the "censorship system" of the Southern Yong court.
A foolish emperor may not listen to the advice, but he is still quite afraid of "there are strange phenomena in heaven" and will also be cautious and restrained by his own words and deeds.
Therefore, Tiangongyuan is particularly important in Nanyong.
Tiangongyuan belongs to Sitianjian, and the officials of Sitianjian belong to the third rank, and are often held by close ministers trusted by the emperor.
For example, during the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang, the famous astrology scientist Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng once worked as Si Tianjian, and were close ministers who were extremely trusted by Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin.
Shen Kuo, the author of the encyclopedia "Mengxi Bitan", and Sima Guang, the editor of the famous "Zizhi Tongjian", have all conducted the review of Sitianjian and Sitianjian.
Xiao Yuanchuan is the Sitianjian in Nanyong.
The director of the Nanyong Tiangong Courtyard is Mo Zhan'ao, who is a good friend of Xiao Yuanshan. He is a legendary figure of the generation of Nanyong. It is said that all of them are excellent in astronomy, geography, and Qimen Dunjia.
Moreover, his martial arts skills are extremely high, and he is a powerful character who can compete with Jiang Tianci, the leader of the Donghan Xuantian Sect.
But unfortunately, five years ago, Mo Zhan'ao did not participate in the "Sword Contest in Huashan" for some reason, so his fellow martial arts master Hongquan invited Lingyin Temple to compete, ranking one of the "Four Greats" in the world.
Many officials under Sitianjian did not come to the officialdom through the imperial examinations.
Astronomy and astrology is a miscellaneous subject, and ordinary scholars are not good at it, or they do not know it at all.
At first, many officials were recruited in the Yong Dynasty. After a period of time, I found that they were not competent for this job.
Therefore, during the reign of Emperor Taizong of Yong, a recruitment order was issued to the whole country.
It is required that "those who know astronomy that all the way know will be ordered to be appointed as Tiantai." If there is "those who know astronomy cannot hide and abandon the market, the first person will be rewarded with 100,000 yuan."
From this we can see that in the Great Yong Dynasty, there was indeed a shortage of talents in astronomical and astrological signs, and the emperor also worked hard to find talents in this area.
"A strict law has been promulgated, and those who cannot be recruited will be beheaded, and those who report can be rewarded with 100,000 yuan."
It can be seen that this order is also a helpless move.
When Mo Zhanao was young, he wore a blue shirt and wielded a sword in the world, and was very frivolous. This person had a calm personality and was not interested in the affairs of the temple.
However, his ability is too dazzling, especially his talent in astronomical astrology, can be said to be the best in the world.
My friend Xiao Yuanchuan invited him many times.
Finally, at his thirties, Mo Zhan'ao went to Tiangong Courtyard to become the dean.
