291. I Never Thought You Were This Kind of Zhang Jiuling (Please Order the Whole Book)

"Kameyama Ce?"

Bai Gui was slightly surprised when he heard this.

"You are a new Jinshi, you should know what kind of method Guishan Ce is..."

"Please tell me and listen."

Hou Shaowei took the school test.

"Guishan Ce... should be taken from the name of Gui Ce." "Book of Rites·Yue Ling" says: "(Mengdong's Moon) ordered the Taishi to pick up the turtle pods, divine omens, and judge the good and bad fortune." In "Chu Ci" Said: 'Use the heart of the king and do the will of the gentleman, Gui Cecheng can't judge things.'"

"Guice is the collective name of turtle shell and yarrow in ancient times. Yarrow can be used for divination by its stems."

Bai Gui thought about his words and replied.

As for the mountain in Guishan Ce, he also had some guesses, but he was not sure.

"You are right. Guishan Ce is the study of divination and astrology. Our Zongsheng Temple was formerly called Lou Guan Tao. What is the word Lou Guan? It means knotting grass into a building and observing the stars and gas, so it is called Lou Guan Tao! "

"Guishan Ce not only means turtle policy, but also..."

"The "Book of Rites of Zhou Chunguan" says: 'The three Yi methods of Taibu Zhang are: one is Lianshan, the second is Guizang, and the third is Zhouyi.' Shennong created "Lianshan Yi" and Huangdi created "Guizang Yi" …”

"These two Yiyi have been lost for a long time. Fortunately, the ancestors have made up for the missing records for many years, and only then can we get this "Guishan Policy"." ("lost" means lost.)

"However, Guishan Ce also contains a wonderful method for the transformation of Jiuxu Shangzhen. You can practice this method. As for the method of astrological divination, it can be used as an auxiliary practice. If you don't know the sky, you can still practice "Qingyu Hidden Method" in the wild. Okay, but now you are an official in the court..."

Hou Shaowei showed admiration on his face and sighed slightly in his tone.

He could tell that Bai Gui roughly guessed what Guishan Ce meant, but there was no explanation.

"Guishan Mountain is located in the northwest corner of the sky, 40,000,000 miles in circumference, and is connected with Yuqing. It is sealed by the Queen Mother of the West. Xuan Ce, Jiuxu Shangzhen's wonderful method of initiating transformation, recorded it as a famous urn. All are engraved on it. At Guishan..."——"Yunji Qizhuan·Volume 8"

"Thank you, Master, for passing me "Guishan Policy"."

Hearing this, Bai Gui had no room for hesitation anymore and knelt down and worshiped again.

Hou Shaowei nodded and taught the method.

…

Bai Gui first taught the "Tai Shang San Wu Du Kung Sutra" and became the second disciple of Hou Shaowei, the head of Louguan Taoism. Generally speaking, he is a Taoist with a high status in Zongshenguan, but he is still a junior in Zongshenguan. He needs to come to Haotian Temple every day to do homework like many disciples. Occasionally, he also needs to observe affairs, attend temples, and perform repentance rituals. etc.

These are all things you need to do as a new disciple of Louguan Taoism.

Even he is no exception.

However, Master Hou Shaowei thought that he was still the secretary of the imperial court, so he was very lax in his management.

No need to run back and forth.

The position of school secretary is neither leisure nor leisure, nor busy nor busy.

I clock in at the secretary's office every morning. At noon, that is, at 12 noon, I can go home from get off work and only work half a day every day. In addition, the holiday system during the Tang Dynasty was to take a holiday every ten days, that is, a ten-day holiday, which means a holiday once every ten days.

There are also various holidays.

Extremely relaxing.

Ten days passed in a row.

"Meihe, Prime Minister Liu of the Political Affairs Hall asked us from the Secretariat to go to the private sector to look for unstored books."

"You come with me."

Zhang Jiuling, dressed in green robe, walked down from the second floor of the Zanglou Pavilion and said to Bai Gui with a smile.

"books?"

Bai Gui was startled for a moment, a little confused.

The Secretary's Department's books can be said to be the most comprehensive in the world. Finding a book that has been left out among the people and has not yet been added to the list is like looking for a needle in a haystack. It is extremely difficult. With just two people, he and Zhang Jiuling, searching through Chang'an bookstores, it is estimated that I couldn't find one or two books that were not included in the Secretary's Ministry.

"In the autumn and August of the first year of Tianbao, I was sent to ask for a suicide note to be left in the world." - Xiao Yingshi's "Denglinhecheng Fu and Preface"

The envoy is their school secretary.

In addition to managing the library, the school secretary also has the job of searching for suicide notes.

"Miwa, you don't understand."

"It is extremely difficult to find a book from Chang'an that has not been included in the Ministry of Secretaries. The money given by the Ministry of Household Affairs is not enough to send beggars. The dozen or so money given is to supplement our allowance..."

Seeing Bai Gui's confusion, Zhang Jiuling explained casually.

"Give us a subsidy. We can't really divide the money, do nothing, go to Chang'an for a casual walk, and it will be used as travel expenses. No one can pick out our mistakes."

"After all, if you look for a suicide note, you have to pay for it!"

he added.

"What you said makes sense, Zishou."

Bai Gui understood immediately that this was legal "corruption."

Zishou is Zhang Jiuling's character.

Although the school secretary is said to be a ninth-grade sesame official, there is no official with a lower official rank than them in Chang'an City. If he throws a brick casually, he will hit an official with a higher official rank than them. However, the position of school secretary has a promising future, but it is a humble and powerful position. After all, the word "secretary" does not come for nothing. Jane is in the heart of the emperor. As long as she has enough qualifications, she will rise to the top.

Therefore, when the Ministry of Household Affairs gives money, it will pay close attention to the school secretary. Therefore, it seems that the school secretary's salary is not much, but the benefits are very high.

However, there was something a little strange in his heart. Historical records record that this famous prime minister was loyal, conscientious, and law-abiding.

Unexpectedly, he never expected that Bai Meihe, who had been in the secretary's office for so many days, had not yet become an adulterer, but that the future virtuous prime minister would be like this.

The two of them left the Xuanwu Gate, took off their green official robes, and rode on horseback on Zhuque Street.

"Is it past noon?"

"I wonder where Brother Zishou plans to go?"

Bai Gui asked.

"Let's go to the restaurant in the West Market and have a good meal. You don't know that I have been working as a proofreader in Chang'an for more than two years. Although I have been promoted from the ninth rank to the ninth rank, my salary has not changed much..."

"I have been wanting to drink for a long time these days!"

Zhang Jiuling said greedily while riding on his horse.

The price of rice in Chang'an is cheap, but the price of wine is not cheap at all. Du Fu has a poem: "I drink a bucket of wine early in the morning, and there are exactly three hundred bronze coins."

A bucket is ten liters, and a liter of wine is thirty coins.

In ancient times, grain production was low, so the price of rice could be cheap, but the price of wine had to be high, and grain could not be used to make wine on a large scale.

With the salary of a proofreader, after deducting necessary expenses in a month, there is not much left, and you can't drink a few times at all.

"You see, we are proofreaders, and the proofreaders in Pingkangfang are also proofreaders."

"Instead of drinking alone, it is better to go to Pingkangfang..."

Zhang Jiuling rode for a while, pulled the reins, and suggested.

There are quite a few proofreaders in the Secretariat. The reason why he was willing to find Bai Gui was because Bai Gui was young. If he went to Pingkangfang, he would not have to pay money, but could also get a red envelope, which was a good thing.

A champion could sell for a lot of money.

"If I go to Pingkangfang..."

"I do have this idea, but I have always been short of money. Now that I have the public funds from the Ministry of Revenue..."

Bai Gui hesitated for a while and agreed happily.

He had long wanted to see what was in Pingkangfang. When he was in Yanjing, he was watched closely by Bai Xiuzhu and did not have time to appreciate the beauty of the Eight Great Hutongs. Now that he came to Chang'an, of course he had to go to Pingkangfang once.

In the spring of April in the second year of Jingyun, he was sent to ask for a posthumous letter in Pingkang.
