Chapter 257
"The princes of heaven are also the emperor's chariot... What a true statement! It seems that the inheritance of the Tongyu clan and the Fengniao clan are quite similar in terms of astronomy and calendar."

Because it involved the family tradition passed down from the Tongyu clan to the present, Li Shan Guangye's expression inevitably became solemn: "My younger brother is not talented, so I have the audacity to say it, and I ask my elder brother to correct me."

Qi Jingzhi raised his glass and took a sip of the three banana leaf old wine, then nodded calmly.

In fact, "Princes" and "Emperor Chariot" were originally mentioned by Lord Langya, but Xianyu Mountain has its own inheritance, so there is no need to entangle in such details at this time.

Lishan Guangye was not in a hurry to tell, but turned his head first, and gave Pu Shan and Pu Xi a wink: "Go and serve the mounts of the gentlemen. If you have any good wine, meat, and fodder, just say hello! Gentlemen What is going to be discussed next, unless you are qualified to hear it, you must not come near unless you are called!"

The two black children immediately bowed and retreated knowingly, led Bannu and Liju, and stood far away from the Maoting Pavilion, but they did not escape the sight of the people in the pavilion.

As soon as these two monsters left, Ban Ban and Qi Huchan couldn't wait to show up, jumping on the table and wolfing down the food around the plate containing the bones.

While eating, Qi Huchan glanced wildly, suddenly seeing the opportunity, he jumped up and rode on the back of Xiangru.

The young master of Linshan was so furious that he rolled over and threw the young monk away.

Unexpectedly, Qi Huchan just slammed into the west, and took advantage of the situation to hug the Hujun jade box that was originally pressed under his paws, and successfully snatched the treasure box into his hands.

Just like struggling to swallow the bone residue in his mouth, he raised his oily little claws to fight back decisively, and immediately rolled into a ball with the little monk.

While the two little guys were playing around, a crack in the Tiger King's jade box quietly opened, and a large bunch of mountain money flowed out of it.

In the clear or dull collision sound, the rising mountain rhyme makes the dining table green.

Starting from the Xiema Inn, these two little guys have fought openly and secretly for countless times over the ownership of Hu Jun's jade box. But he still insists on repeated teachings and never gets tired of it.

Fortunately, they all seemed to like the taste of obsequiousness very much, and even when they were rolling around and fighting, they deliberately avoided the food dishes and wine bottles.

Li Shan Guangye's eyes lingered on the two little guys for a moment, seeing that they were quite measured this time, and they should not be overwhelmed with joy, then continued the previous topic and said: "If you want to explain the Qizheng Pavilion clearly, you must first Know what the seven states are. The sun, moon, and five stars mentioned by the brother just now are the most common sayings in the inheritance of Sheng Jiang and even the Tongyu clan."

"For example, "Shang Shu" says that the seven political rulers and the seven stars of the Big Dipper each have their own masters. The first is the Zhengri; the second is the master of the moon; the third is the Minghuo, which is called Yinghuo; and the fourth is the evil earth, which is called Yinghuoye. The fifth one is cutting water, which is called the stars; the sixth one is dangerous wood, which is called the star of the year; the seventh one is cutting gold, which is called Taibai. The sun, moon and five stars are different, so it is called Qizheng."

"As for another saying, it is not widely circulated in comparison: the seven political rulers refer to spring, autumn, winter, summer, astronomy, geography, and humanity, so they are political."

"However, no matter which way you say it, the Big Dipper's Seven Politics are extremely important. They are related to the changes of Yin and Yang, the Three Talents, the Four Seasons, and the Five Elements. Therefore, Da Qi set up seven political cabinets and regarded them as the center of government affairs."

Qi Jingzhi listened and confirmed what he had learned in his heart.

Although astronomy and calendar are broad and profound, but during the one month of studying in Xianyu Mountain, he was often told by his master in order to practice the technique of Lu Lu Tiaoyang, so he had to bite the bullet and use the difficult and obscure method of the year and star calendar. The knowledge is swallowed whole.

As for the results...not to mention, at least he has recognized all the stars in the sky, so that he won't be blind if he can't even watch the stars at night.

Therefore, Qi Jingzhi agreed: "No wonder it is said in the "Celestial Star Map" that the Big Dipper is near the south of Ziwei Palace and in the north of Taiwei. It is called the imperial chariot, which carries orders from the center and controls the four directions. The establishment of the four seasons, the balancing of the five elements, the shifting of the festivals, and the determination of the various periods are all tied to the Beidou."

"What Brother Shi said is absolutely true!"

Lishan Guangye immediately started with a big head: "The bucket handle points to the east, and the world is spring; the bucket handle points to the south, and the world is summer; the bucket handle points to the west, and the world is autumn; the bucket handle points north, and the world is winter. Hub also."

At this point in the discussion, Qi Jingzhi knew that Lishan Guangye, the Lingtai Lang, was indeed the real deal, and comparable to himself. He immediately praised him sincerely: "What a great Spring and Autumn Luck Dou Shu!"

"The movement of Dou Shu is the key to controlling the Ming Dynasty. Among the stars of the Big Dipper, the first is Tianshu, the second is Xuan, the third is Tianji, the fourth is Tianquan, the fifth is Yuheng, the sixth is Kaiyang, and the third is Tianshu. Qi Yaoguang. Tianshu Star ranks as the first star in the Big Dipper, Qizheng Pavilion is headed by Lord Tianshu, do you think this is the reason?"

It is rare for Lishan Guangye to be praised by Qi Jingzhi. He became more talkative when he was happy, and nodded again and again: "Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, and Tianquan are called the four chiefs, and Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Yaoguang are called the top four." Three bids, four chiefs and three bids, unite to fight, and the Seven Government Pavilions respect these seven Beidou lords."

"Actually, the establishment of the Qizheng Pavilion in Daqi, apart from Shangying Tianxing, is also to respect the ancient emperor's sages. It is said that in ancient times, Emperor Sui came out, grasped the opportunity, and established the Seven Politics. Suihuang Afterwards, Emperor Yan succeeded, and it was passed on to Jiang Kingdoms through the hands of the Tongyu clan."

"The Great Qi Faith has been practiced, and it has been developed and perfected over the past 2000 years. Up to now, the ruler of the Great Qi has been devoting himself to silently mobilizing and controlling the power of Beidou.

"Just as the sages said: The emperor governs the religion, and the law is the Big Dipper. For the government, the virtue is like the Beichen, where the stars live and the stars support it..."

Speaking of this, Lishan Guangye hesitated for a while, and added: "At the beginning of the founding of Daqi, there was a chief minister on top of the seven Beidou lords, and that was the one who could truly decide a country. The prime minister of the country where Dazheng and Diche are headed, but this official position has long been vacant, and Tianshu Jun is now the so-called chief assistant."

"Generally speaking, the status of the four chiefs including Tianshu Jun is slightly higher than that of the three Biaojuns. They have been filled by Jiang Qi clan and Shengjiang Miao descendants in the past dynasties. There are very few exceptions. But regardless of the four chiefs or the three Biaojuns, they are all To show off one's rank for an extremely noble and important position, one would rather leave it vacant than waste it."

"In addition to the seven Beidou lords, because the Kaiyang star in the sky has an auxiliary star to accompany it, which is the so-called 'Kaiyang heavy treasure, so the auxiliary wing is placed', so Kaiyang Lord also has a deputy under his command, No. Said Kaiyang Assistant Prime Minister General Wu De, who is in charge of the on-duty guards of the Seven Government Pavilions."

Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi suddenly realized: "The Daoists collectively refer to the Big Dipper as the Lord of the Big Dipper, and respect Kaiyang Xing as the King of Wuqu Stars in the North Pole. Well, Wuqu, Wude... If you want to come to Qizheng Pavilion, then Lord Kaiyang is in charge of martial arts?"

Li Shan Guangye was stunned, and then there was a look of admiration on his face: "Brother Shi, you really know a little bit! Kaiyang Lord really pays more attention to military politics in the Qizheng Pavilion."

"Because the four Kuijuns are descendants of the Holy Ginger, they are naturally close to the king by blood, but it is difficult for them to get involved in military power. The three Biaojuns have relatively fewer scruples, so they have greater authority in preparing military equipment. In this way, Come on, Si Kui and San Biao have reached a delicate balance."

As for Lishan Guangye's flattery, Qi Jingzhi naturally accepted it calmly.

At the same time, he also understood the unfinished meaning of this man's words.

The so-called Beidou Qizheng and Gouchen Liufu, he has already served as a military officer in the Gouchen Academy. In the future, he might be like that "Scholar who killed Jiao and Dounan alone", and he would inevitably have to deal with the Qizheng Pavilion. Wei Biaojun is naturally the top priority.

Thinking of this, Qi Jingzhi drank the wine in the cup and asked curiously after thinking about it for a while: "I remember that the Big Dipper actually has nine stars. Seven are visible and two are hidden, so it is also called the God of the Nine Emperors. .Since even the Kaiyang auxiliary star corresponds to General Wu De, then the two hidden stars in Beidou should also have corresponding settings?"

Li Shan Guangye's eyes narrowed slightly, and he deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Although this matter is not very secret among us people, it is not easy to talk about it casually, and even my younger brother, I don't know much about it."

"I just heard that besides Sikuijun and Sanbiaojun, there is indeed Eryinjun, who is also named as Dongmingjun and Yinyuanjun. It's just that these two Yinxingjun They never showed up in front of people, and even their names have never been circulated, and the only ones who know their details are probably only the king and a few people."

Hearing what Lishan Guangye said, Qi Jingzhi didn't get to the bottom of it anymore, and just sighed softly: "There are so many talking heads just for the title of Seven Government Pavilions."

"This is exactly what my teacher said, the big dipper is responsible for life and killing, and it is a city that raises things and helps people. All sentient beings are endowed with the energy of heaven and earth, and the orders of yin and yang. They are male and female, and they can live and die. , all stem from the political order of Beidou."

When Li Shan Guangye heard the words, he immediately praised with joy: "Xianyu Mountain Taoism combines the strengths of Fengniao clan and Taoism, and it really has something unique. Listening to Brother Shi's words today, I really benefited my little brother a lot!"

For such a compliment, Qi Jingzhi still laughed it off.

However, the next moment, he suddenly realized that he couldn't help but thought to himself: "I was just an ordinary young man in the mountains more than half a year ago, but now I talk about the teachings of sages and the words of classics, and I am becoming more and more like what I once said." I have seen people from those families and sects."

Qi Jingzhi pressed down on this thought before he was about to speak, when he suddenly heard the sound of wings beating "Pu Leng Leng" in the air.

He followed the sound and saw three blue ducks with gorgeous feathers flying directly towards the thatched pavilion in the direction outside the mountain and above the stream.

Lishan Guangye also saw it, and after a brief recognition, his face showed surprise: "These green ducks seem to be the money-paying boys of the Peng family!"

"Peng? A boy who pays for money?" Qi Jingzhi felt a sense of familiarity in his heart, and almost immediately came up with another guess.

Lishan Guangye explained in a low voice from the side: "His family has controlled the inner palace of Da Qi for many years. His official position and title are not prominent, but he is the true confidant of the king. It is best not to offend him easily."

Qi Jingzhi immediately reacted: "Isn't this Peng family a distant relative and rival of Qian Xiaoren's family? By the way, Wei Yingdian's Wei family comes from the Da Peng family with the surname of Ji. I don't know if it is the same ancestor as Peng and Qian. ..."

In just a few words, three teal ducks, which Lishan Guangye called "money boys", had already flown into the thatched pavilion.

They landed in front of Qi Jingzhi, and in a blink of an eye, they turned into three boys in green clothes with delicate features. The clothes were covered with gorgeous fine silk patterns, and the eyes were even more shining with green.

The eyes of the three boys in Tsing Yi were all fixed, staring at the wild money scattered on the dining table endlessly.

After a while, they looked at each other, and immediately raised their palms together.

Qi Jingzhi could clearly see that they each held several large copper coins in their palms.

These big coins are all hollowed out with fish pattern, simple and peculiar in shape, exuding a certain elusive charm.

Immediately afterwards, the three boys in green clothes asked in unison: "My lord is merciful, can you sell us the precious money on the table?"
