Today's toward the meeting, ministers this also no specially important matter needs to report to Emperor Hongwu greatly, therefore most started to confer rank and title to Du Changsheng's State Preceptor became the most serious matter on the contrary, although from five was not the big grade in Capital City, but the State Preceptor position in Great Zhen was still the first case, in addition the content on imperial edict, increased several points of mysterious air to Du Changsheng. 今天的大朝会,大臣们本也没有什么特别重要的事情需要向洪武帝汇报,所以最开始对杜长生的国师册封反倒成了最重大的事情了,虽然从五品在京城算不上多大的品级,但国师的位置在大贞尚是首例,加上诏书上的内容,给杜长生添加了好几分神秘色彩。 Moreover the old minister on the scene to the current Saint in quite found, Emperor Hongwu does not agree with the cardinal virtues emperor, is a very practical emperor, if Du Changsheng does not have the ability, cannot obtain his favor, therefore until drawing back toward, Imperial Court ministers in the heart is basically thinking two matters: The first matter is, unified the recent rumor and today greatly toward the information of meeting, Yin Zhaoxian possibly really in the rehabilitation phase, this enabled several to like several to worry ; The second matter thinks was this State Preceptor. 而且在场的老臣对当今圣上还是比较了解的,洪武帝不同意元德帝,是个很务实的皇帝,若杜长生没有能耐,是得不到他的青睐的,所以直到退朝,朝中大臣们心中基本想着两件事:第一件事是,结合最近的传言和今天大朝会的信息,尹兆先可能真的在康复阶段了,这使得几家欢喜几家愁;第二件事想的就是这个国师了。 Early toward finishing, but also in excitement Du Changsheng also in a piece congratulated in the sound to have the palace together. 早朝结束,还处在兴奋之中的杜长生也在一片恭喜声中一起出了金殿。 desolate Du walks in the relative following position, sees Du Changsheng and Yan Chang from afar departs together, after exchanged greetings with the surrounding colleague, in the heart has been thinking that imperial edict. 萧渡走在相对后面的位置,远远见杜长生和言常一起离去,在与周围同僚寒暄过后,心中一直在想着那诏书。 In palace somewhere the position of parking carriage, after desolate Dufan body car(riage), has not spoken, in the heart is thinking deeply about today's information. 宫中某处停放马车的位置,萧渡翻身上了车之后都迟迟没有说话,心中在思索着今天的信息。 Cannot wait for a long time own master's order, the servant then inquired one carefully. 久等不到自家老爷的命令,下人便小心询问一句。 „Master, are we go to the censor stage to return home directly?” “老爷,我们是去御史台还是直接回府？” As the member of censor stage, desolate Du does not need to arrive at the censor stage work daily, hears the words of servant, desolate Du gets back one's composure finally, slightly one hesitant said. 作为御史台的一把手,萧渡已经不需要天天都到御史台工作了的,听闻下人的话,萧渡终于回神,略一犹豫就道。 „Goes to Heaven Inspection Department, I must visit State Preceptor.” “去司天监,我要拜访国师。” „Yes!” “是！” Servants one accordingly, as the cart driver drives the carriage, the entourage also depart together, half quarter about arrived at Heaven Inspection Department, without fee/spent many times found Du Changsheng's current dwelling. 下人一应声,随着车夫赶动马车,随行人员也一起离去,半刻钟左右的时间就到了司天监,没费多少工夫就找到了杜长生目前的住处。 Hears the royal doctor visit, is appointing the manpower Du Changsheng who helps pack the thing to hurry to come out from inside, saw outside the front gate the carriage is standing desolate Du to the institute, several steps welcomed to ask the ritual. 听闻御史大夫来访,正指派人手帮忙收拾东西的杜长生赶紧就从里头出来,到了院中就见院门外马车边站着的萧渡,几步迎上问礼。 „Sir desolate is good, Du Changsheng was courteous in this!” “萧大人好啊,杜长生在此有礼了！” Du Changsheng has own to be proud, facing Emperor Hongwu he can „slightly feudal official”, maintain respectful at the same time also one to fear, but other ministers missed to his deterrent force many, the position of especially his State Preceptor has carried out, although without many real power, but also beside dissociation normal government. 杜长生还是有自己的骄傲的,面对洪武帝他可以一口一个“微臣”,保持恭敬的同时还有一丝惧怕,但其他大臣对他的威慑力就差了许多了,尤其他的国师之位已经落实,虽没多少实权,但也游离正常官场之外。 desolate Du sees must Du Changsheng of white hair features suggesting extraordinariness and immortality come out white/in vain, does not dare to neglect, close to several steps salutes submissively. 萧渡见白须白发仙风道骨的杜长生出来,也不敢怠慢,接近几步拱手施礼。 „Congratulates State Preceptor to rise high, Xiao takes the liberty visit, hasn't disturbed State Preceptor? The State Preceptor new dwelling relocation nears, the furniture thing and maidservant servant and others, Xiao may also recommend the person help to process.” “恭喜国师高升啊,萧某冒昧来访,没有打扰到国师吧？国师新宅搬迁在即,家具物件以及丫鬟仆人等,萧某也可荐人帮忙处理的。” Du Changsheng receives the formality to caress must smile, this royal doctor such big officer, so does everything to oneself, definitely something requested, he does not want to beat around the bush, directly asked. 杜长生收起礼节抚须笑笑,这御史大夫这么大的官,对自己如此献殷勤,肯定是有事相求,他也不想拐弯抹角,直接就问了。 „Sir desolate and Du happen together rare, today this, but did something consult? Sir desolate spoke frankly is, can help, Du did certainly everything possible, but Du forewarn, in the Saint had the aim, although Du was State Preceptor, actually cannot mix with the royal government related matter, looked at Sir desolate to understand.” “萧大人与杜某少有交集,今日来此,可是有事相商？萧大人直言便是,能帮的,杜某一定尽力而为,不过杜某有言在先,圣上有旨,杜某虽为国师,却不能掺和与朝政有关的事情,望萧大人明白。” In Du Changsheng opinion, desolate Dulai looks for him, may be very related with the royal government, he will first cast aside to be absolutely safe. 在杜长生看来,萧渡来找他,很可能与朝政有关,他先将自己撇出去就万无一失了。 „This is natural, how Xiao will make State Preceptor difficult to do, will not violate in the Saint the decree, State Preceptor, please taking advantage of a speech!” “这是自然,萧某怎会让国师难做,更不会违背圣上旨意,国师,请借一步说话！” desolate Du puts out a hand to direct to invite one side later on the side of the lead trend, under Du Changsheng had doubts also with, saw Du Changsheng to come, after desolate Du had a look at the front gate that side, lowered the sound to say. 萧渡伸手引请一侧随后率先走向一边,杜长生疑惑之下也跟了上去,见杜长生过来,萧渡看看院门那边后,压低了声音道。 „State Preceptor, my Xiao possibly incurred the evil spirits, perhaps welcomed the disaster, un, what Xiao referred to was not the Imperial Court factionalism, but was the evil monster disaster, these year of my son were the birth is more hopeless, feared that was also related in this, today saw State Preceptor, Xiao had the thoughts of seeking help.” “国师,我萧家可能招了邪祟,恐迎来灾祸,嗯,萧某指的并非朝中党派之争,而是妖邪祸害,这些年犬子更是生育无望,怕也于此有关啊,今日见国师,萧某不由就动了求助的心思。” „Incurred the evil spirits?” “招了邪祟？” Du Changsheng stares slightly, with somewhat different, the look that he thinks is also later earnest. 杜长生微微一愣,和他想的有些不一样,随后眼神也认真起来。 „Sir desolate stands, when Du by discernment according to view.” “萧大人且站好,待杜某以法眼照观。” Hears Du Changsheng's words, desolate Du stands same place, looks that Du Changsheng draws back slightly two steps, later both hands tie seal, imposes the sword to refer to gesticulating the forehead from the dantian. 听到杜长生的话,萧渡原地站好,看着杜长生微微退开两步,随后双手结印,从丹田处以剑指比划到额头。 Du Changsheng eyes shut, under the supernatural power condenses, opens eyes suddenly, at this moment, in desolate Du line of sight, saw unexpectedly indistinctly Du Changsheng both eyes have the golden light to flash through, the look is becomes floods one type regarding desolate Du understands clearly the feeling intensely, in the heart wants to increase immediately. 杜长生双眼闭起,法力凝聚之下,骤然睁眼,这一刻,在萧渡视线中,居然隐约看到杜长生双目有金光闪过,眼神更是变得充斥一种对于萧渡而言的强烈洞悉感,心中顿时希望大增。 But in Du Changsheng eyes, as desolate Du of imperially appointed official, its gas phase is also more distinct, now he as State Preceptor, even surpasses he cultivation to the feeling ability of towards officer. He suddenly really discovered before , sees the black air/Qi, under is gathering some flame unexpectedly, could not see that is anything, but seems like many light color strange candlelights indistinctly, feels wisp of as if somewhat remote monster qi. 而在杜长生眼中,作为朝廷命官的萧渡,其气相也更加分明起来,如今他身为国师,对朝官的感受能力甚至超出他自身道行。他竟然真的发现之前所见黑气,下方居然汇聚着一些火焰,看不出到底是什么但隐约像是许多光色诡异的烛火,更是从中感受到一缕似乎有些久远的妖气。 Long time later, Du Changsheng closes one's eyes, when opens eyes again, that in its look was understood clearly the feeling also to desalinate much. 良久之后,杜长生闭起眼,再次睁眼之时,其眼神中的那种被洞悉感觉也淡化了不少。 „State Preceptor, how?” “国师,如何了？” After Du Changsheng knits the brows caresses must think deeply about the moment, with desolate Du said. 杜长生皱眉抚须思索片刻后,同萧渡说道。 „Sir desolate, you dispute with that evil spirits, as if had very long age, Du asked one, whether had the relations with what flame, un, Du was not clear that described whether accurately, in brief looks not to seem like what fire, seemed like many candlelights.” “萧大人,你们同那邪祟的纠葛,似乎有挺长一段年岁了,杜某多问一句,是否同什么火光有关系,嗯,杜某不清楚自己形容是否准确,总之看着不像是什么大火,反倒像是许许多多的烛火。” desolate Du was obviously excited, subconsciousness close to Du Changsheng one step. 萧渡明显激动了起来,下意识靠近杜长生一步。 „State Preceptor said well, said well, this matter truly is the aging long standing grudge, is firmly related with the candlelight, now troubles the upper body, my Xiao will fear will therefore be never recurring!” “国师说得不错,说得不错啊,此事确实是陈年旧怨,确与烛火有关啊,如今麻烦上身,我萧家更恐会因此绝后啊！” Du Changsheng is actually not familiar with the government, but also is roughly clearer the principal contradiction, but he is some principles, moreover just became State Preceptor, the royal courtier was pestered by evil monster, managing one is also the job, does not have to dodge. 杜长生对官场其实不熟悉,但也大致明白一些主要矛盾,但他还是有些原则的,而且刚当上国师,朝臣被妖邪纠缠,管一管也是分内之事,也就没有过于推托。 „Such words, matter cannot be delayed, I return home immediately together on with Sir desolate, first had a look to say again.” “如此的话,事不宜迟,我立刻随着萧大人一起回府上一趟,先去看看再说。” „So good, is so good! On the State Preceptor please Xiao's carriage, State Preceptor invite!” “如此甚好,如此甚好！国师请上萧某的马车,国师请！” desolate Du great happiness, hurries to invite Du Changsheng to board, such royal government high-ranking official to oneself so respectful, makes Du Changsheng enjoy very much, this little State Preceptor appearance. 萧渡大喜,赶紧邀请杜长生上车,这样的朝廷大员对自己如此恭敬,也让杜长生很受用,这才有点国师的样子嘛。 The carriage approaching speed is quick, shortly after arrived at Xiao Residence, at Du Changsheng's request, desolate Du except for sending people to call desolate Ling, got Du Changsheng to stroll each corner of Xiao Residence personally, after moment multi- bell, they returned to the Xiao Residence reception room. 马车行进速度很快,没多久就到了萧府,在杜长生的要求之下,萧渡除了派人去将萧凌叫回来,更亲自领着杜长生逛遍了萧府的每一个角落,一刻多钟之后,他们回到了萧府客堂。 „Can State Preceptor, have the discovery?” “国师,可有发现？” desolate Du sees Du Changsheng tea not to drink, will ponder in that side, waits for one unable to bear ask, the latter knit the brows to look that said to him. 萧渡见杜长生茶水都没喝,就在那边沉思,等候了一会还是忍不住发问了,后者皱眉看向他道。 „In Xiao Residence and no evil spirits aura, do not seem like the evil spirits already the appearance that walks in......” “萧府之内并无任何邪祟气息,不太像是邪祟已经找上门的样子……” At this time, outside the room had the sound of footsteps to transmit, desolate Ling had come back, entered the reception room, first saw features suggesting extraordinariness and immortality appearance extremely good Du Changsheng. 这时候,屋外有脚步声传来,萧凌已经回来了,进了客堂,第一眼就看到了仙风道骨卖相极佳的杜长生。 „Father, this is Sir State Preceptor, desolate Ling was courteous!” “爹,这位就是国师大人吧,萧凌有礼了！” desolate Ling was saying salutes to Du Changsheng, but the latter has stood up takes a look at desolate Ling up and down, after looking met, Du Changsheng look also changed, brings several points of meaningful say/way. 萧凌说着向杜长生行礼,而后者已经站起身来上下打量萧凌了,看了一会之后,杜长生眼神也变了,带着几分意味深长道。 „It is not right, you have the damage, but not because of evil monster, but is the divine punishment! Moreover, hmph hmph......” “不对,你身有损伤,但并非是因为妖邪,而是神罚！而且,哼哼……” Du Changsheng sneers, looks desolate Du one eyes that that side sits. 杜长生冷笑一声,回望那边坐着的萧渡一眼。 „Moreover this is a clever Shintoism method, Young Master desolate the body damages twice, considered to damage the fundamental vitality one time, was for the second time this god leaves behind the subsequent hand, deciding was you violates anything to pledge to agree, will make you never recurring!” “而且这是一种高妙的神道手段,萧公子身损两次,一次当是损伤了根本元气,第二次则是此神留下后手,定是你违反了什么誓言约定,才会让你绝后！” The Spiritual God method is open and aboveboard, is easier than to see through the evil monster method, or basically puts on makes the cultivation cultivation person know outwardly. 神灵手段堂堂正正,比妖邪的手段更容易看穿,或者说基本就是摆在明面上让有道行的修行人知道的。 „Snort, Sir desolate, matter of Du evil spirits can manage actually, punishing of this gods, Du will not ford lightly.” “哼,萧大人,邪祟之事杜某倒是能管管,这神明之罚,杜某可不会轻涉的。” Du Changsheng understands indistinctly, the gods who leaves behind the method feared is cultivation is extremely high, the charm trace is shallow, but is also obvious. 杜长生隐约明白,留下手段的神明怕是道行极高,神韵痕迹非常浅但又非常明显。 „Spiritual God?” “神灵？” desolate Du one stands, looked at desolate Ling to look to Du Changsheng. 萧渡一下站起来,看了看萧凌又看向杜长生。 „State Preceptor, my Xiao usually made sacrifices to a god, does the City God temple have my large oil lamp lit day and night before Buddha status of Xiao, why the Spiritual God strategic point my Xiao? Moreover my child how possibly dashing Spiritual God, has the place of offending even, mortal unclear affair, cannot see the Spiritual God true body, so-called no penalty to the innocent, how must twice, but also made my Xiao never recurring, asking State Preceptor to try to find the solution......” “国师,我萧家素来敬神啊,城隍庙更有我萧家的长明灯,神灵何故要害我萧家？而且我儿怎么可能冲撞神灵啊,就算有冒犯之处,凡人不明事理,又见不到神灵真身,所谓不知者不罪,何以要两次出发,还令我萧家绝后啊,求国师想想办法……” „? Hasn't really seen?” “哦？真没见过？” Du Changsheng narrows the eyes shortly to complexion somewhat ugly desolate Ling, looks again to face startled color desolate Du. 杜长生眯起眼看向脸色有些难看的萧凌,再看向一脸惊色的萧渡。 „I look not necessarily, Young Master desolate, your matter best narrate systematically and in full detail to tell Du, otherwise I did not manage, Sir desolate, previously asked that the matter of your long standing grudge, you said that initially the ancestor violated the agreement, looked for hundred lights to deliver casually, perhaps also incessantly so? Snort, is faced with imminent disaster also attended to about him, Du walked.” “我看未必吧,萧公子,你的事最好一五一十告诉杜某,否则我可不管了,还有萧大人,此前问你旧怨之事,你说当初先祖违背约定,随便找了百家灯火送上,恐怕也不止如此吧？哼,大难临头还顾左右而言他,杜某走了。” Saying, Du Changsheng both hands conduct the back, brushed past with desolate Du, went out of this reception room. 说着,杜长生双手负背,同萧渡擦肩而过,走出了这处客堂。 „State Preceptor hold your steps, State Preceptor hold your steps!” “国师留步,国师留步啊！” This State Preceptor ability desolate Du has believed 90%, where at this moment can ask him to leave, hurries to pursue, Du Changsheng does not have really to walk directly, at least also understanding truth, therefore stops the footsteps to turn head, saw after desolate Du stands firm, salutes submissively. 这国师的能耐萧渡已经信了90%,此刻哪能让他走,赶紧追了出去,杜长生倒也没真想直接走,至少也得了解真相,所以停下脚步回头,见到萧渡站定后拱手行礼。 „State Preceptor, my Xiao past events decide consider overall, may offend the matter of Spiritual God, is really......” “国师,我萧家往事定全盘相告,可冒犯神灵之事,实在是……” „Father, State Preceptor said right, child has truly offended the Spiritual God......” “爹,国师说得没错,孩儿确实冒犯过神灵……” desolate Ling comes out from the reception room, in the surface has the forced smile to continue to say. 萧凌从客堂出来,面上带着苦笑继续道。 „Offended is not the City God land, but is Connecting Heavens River Empress Ying......” “冒犯的不是城隍土地,而是通天江应娘娘……” „Empress Ying?” „Empress Ying!” “应娘娘？”“应娘娘！” desolate Du and Du Changsheng responded respective differently, the former had doubts slightly, the latter had a big shock. 萧渡和杜长生两人反应各自不同,前者稍稍疑惑了一下,后者则大惊失色。 „You...... good guts......” “你……好胆啊……” „Is State Preceptor, very thorny? I may the life person prepare toward the river in Priest, subsides the anger of Spiritual God......” “国师,可是十分棘手？我可命人准备往江中祭祀,平息神灵之怒啊……” „This matter feared that is not simple, you first told me the matter, allowing me to think well said again!” “此事怕是没那么简单,你们先将事情都告诉我,容我好好想过再说！” On Du Changsheng face Yin clear uncertain, has backed down at heart, this Xiao does not know that carried many debts, incurred the evil resentment not saying that even/including God also provoked, he planned after listening to the truth, looked for Ji Yuan to solve, if there is not a right place, even if lost the State Preceptor face also to reject Xiao. 杜长生脸上阴晴不定,心里已经打退堂鼓了,这萧家也不知道背了多少债,招邪怨不说,连神也招惹,他打算听完真相之后去找计缘求解一番,若有不对劲的地方,哪怕丢自己国师的脸面也得拒绝萧家。
