Smiling at the peach blossom fan, peach blossoms smile at the spring breeze

However, Hou Fangyu didn't like the title of official duodai very much, and thought that this title contained derogatory connotations and malice. He is a person with culture and connotation, strict with the law, cautious and independent, to a certain extent, detached from low-level interests, and sneered at the arrogant and domineering behavior of other officials and eunuchs, and is not ashamed but proud of the behavior, thinking that the more incapable he is, the more he is more restrained, the more self-contained and low-key, have I ever shown off to you as a genius child? I have more arrogant capital than you, and I really want to be arrogant and scare you to death, just because I disdain the arrogance, my low-key is known all over the world.

In fact, Hou Fangyu is very arrogant, of course, not that his character is arrogant, but because he is so talented that he can't cover it if he wants to, his own excellence is enough to help him get out of the influence of his family, and the glory brought to him by the family is eclipsed in front of his dazzling talent aura, so that people's first reaction when they see him is his merits and legend, and they subconsciously ignore the powerful family behind him.

Hou Fangyu's ability to stand out from countless children of official eunuchs is inseparable from the good education he received. First of all, Hou Fangyu's enlightenment education is relatively high-end, compared with the children of ordinary families who are enlightened by Luo Di Xiucai, Hou Fangyu's enlightenment teacher is his grandfather who was born in Jinshi and retired at home.

Before his retirement, Grandpa Hou worked conscientiously and responsibly, and successfully completed various urgent, difficult, dangerous and heavy tasks assigned by the court, and was affirmed and commended by successive emperors.

As the Minister of Culture, one of Grandpa Hou's main responsibilities is to be in charge of the Celestial Worship Ceremony. Judging from the current point of view, the work of putting on a pig's head and a sheep's head, burning incense with clean hands, and praying to heaven is rather frustrating; in many cases, it is a typical manifestation of leading cadres' feudal superstition, lost faith, and spiritual emptiness, and it is a problem in ideological construction and ideology. However, the ancients did not think so, they believed that the heavens were the source of the power of the beginning of all things, and the providence in the underworld determined the rise and fall of all things in the world in the six reincarnations, and believed that all words and deeds in the world were monitored by the Haotian Emperor, and people were doing things in the sky, the eyes of the sky were always open, the ears of the sky were often heard, the dark room was sad and could not escape the eyes of the gods like electricity, and the whispers of the world were inevitably heard like thunder, and the retribution of good and evil followed like a shadow. Emperor Haotian arranged for subordinate clergy such as the Three Corpse Gods, the God of Si Guo, the Three Taipei Fighting God Monarchs, and the Judges in Hell to record the good and evil in the world every day with a small notebook, and calculated the good and evil retribution that people deserve with a set of complex formulas that are beyond the reach of human wisdom, preparing for the cycle of karma and retribution, and giving people a moment at critical moments such as reincarnation and job promotion.

In order to be blessed by God and to alleviate God's punishment, people need to set aside special time and maintain communication with God through special forms, report their work to God, slightly exaggerate their work performance, and say that they have done their best to do a good job without merit or hard work; The last part is to pray, show loyalty and determination, hope that God can help at critical moments, and God can be merciful when mistakes are made.

This kind of debriefing needs to look at the schedule of the Haotian Emperor. The Emperor of Heaven has a full schedule, responsible for the rotation of the sun, moon and stars in their own orbits, responsible for the explosion of superstars to form red giants or white dwarfs, responsible for black holes devouring other stars and light and energy, responsible for the expansion of the universe and quantum entanglement faster than the speed of light, how to explain these major events with the theory of relativity, and it is impossible to pay attention to the small things in the world.

In order not to waste the precious time of the Emperor, people will invite the Emperor to come to a fixed place at a fixed time and listen to the report through the established procedure, which is the basic purpose of the ceremony.

Worship to the sky is a very rare opportunity to talk directly with the emperor, and work under the nose of the emperor, the standard of work is very high, there is no room for the slightest lack of difference, if you do it well, you can directly get the favor of God, personal blessing and longevity, the country is smooth, and if you don't do it well, it will be judged by God as blasphemy, causing the heavens to roll, the world changes color, and various natural disasters occur frequently.

Fortunately, Grandpa Hou is not an ordinary person, as the Minister of Culture, in addition to being familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, he also knows the heart of heaven, understands the will of heaven, distinguishes the sound of heaven, and tomorrow's machine, is serious and meticulous, conscientious, and foolproof, and successfully completed the previous ceremonies of worshipping the heavens - until the Emperor of the Apocalypse came to power.

In the Apocalypse Emperor's ceremony this year, in a solemn and sacred atmosphere, under the attention of all people, on the empty Temple of Heaven, when everything was proceeding in accordance with the established procedures, a person who should not have appeared appeared appeared behind the Emperor of the Apocalypse, this person is Wei Zhongxian - the chief eunuch of the Apocalypse - the leader of the eunuch party, this article calls it President Wei.

It's a big deal, a big thing, and the heavens are watching it. Under normal circumstances, on the extremely solemn and sacred occasion of worshipping the heavens, only the emperor of the apocalypse can appear at the altar of heaven, and before the apocalypse ascends the altar, he needs to fast for three days, bathe and change clothes, clean his hands and burn incense to express his sincerity, and present his cleanest, most sacred, and most pious side to the heavens. Therefore, there was a eunuch on the stage, which was too evil. The eunuch is a servant of the emperor, a deviant person, even if he is now mixed well, no matter how high his status is, and he has fasted for three days in advance—in some respects, he has even abstained for decades—he still cannot change his status as a deformed servant, and he is not qualified to communicate directly with the heavens.

The

crowd in the audience was frightened, they no longer cared about the performance of the apocalypse, no longer cared about the length of the sacrifice, and no longer cared about how far the procedure had progressed.

In the face of doubts and contempt thrown around them, Or hateful gaze, Grandpa Hou felt like crying, innocently looking back at everyone, and looking at the apocalypse from time to time, thinking about why he didn't say hello to him in advance for such a big thing, and then looked at Mr. Wei again, thinking about how this old guy also mixed up, and secretly raised his eyes from time to time to look at the sky, even if there was a hint of wind and a cloud, Grandpa Hou was also worried that this was the wrath of God and wanted to have a thunderbolt on a sunny day to kill everyone present, and silently told God in his heart that this one in front of him was not bad for him, he could swear that all this was the idea of Apocalypse and Mr. Wei, and if he wanted to be punished, he should also follow the principle that the first evil must be investigated and the crime should be punished, and the two people on the stage should be punished, don't be a thunderbolt that will affect other innocent people.

All the communication under the stage is limited to the eyes, no one dares to talk to each other, no one dares to make a noise, and no one dares to walk back and forth, although the atmosphere of the venue is strange but the discipline is OK, so there is no impact on the altar, and the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky is carried out normally.

As a party to the party, Tianqi didn't know how much repercussions he would cause if he brought Mr. Wei to the stage to worship the sky, he was not uncomfortable being robbed of the limelight, but was a little happy. Although he is the supreme of the Ninth Five, he is obsessed with carpentry in this life, his ingenuity is pure, he has not experienced any major events, and he is still a baby in terms of qualifications, emotions and behavior, and he is a big boy who needs recognition, support, care and even care. When the courtiers reproached him, Mr. Wei always appeared by his side in time, and used his most sincere friends, the most powerful subordinates, the most reliable father, and the greatest teachers to help him, protect him, and accompany him. Gradually, Tianqi got used to Mr. Wei's protection, and he couldn't separate for a moment, and always wanted to hold Mr. Wei's generous hand and snuggle up to him (her). Leaving Wei always made him feel empty and insecure, as if he was standing naked in front of the world. Therefore, on the solemn occasion of worshipping the sky, Tianqi brought Mr. Wei with him, and was a little moved by Mr. Wei's ability to brave the world's disapproval and never abandon his company.

Mr. Wei on the altar was expressionless, but the excitement in his heart was indescribable, he was very much enjoying the gift of all people's attention, and enjoying the glory that only the true son of heaven deserved. He looked down on the Apocalypse in his heart, thinking that the Apocalypse was a mother's treasure, and being clinged to such a big man made him nauseous, but he knew in his heart that the Apocalypse with assertiveness, wisdom, and skill was not in his interests, and the Apocalypse in front of him was a good Apocalypse, his most durable tool, and the source of his strength. Just like this sacrifice, he can use the opportunity to accompany the apocalypse to get close to Haotian and prove to Haotian that he is the best and greatest eunuch in human history, but he can't be fully recognized by Haotian, and it's not bad to be familiar with Haotian here.

The

eunuchs under the altar looked at Mr. Wei's eyes and were full of worship, everyone felt happy and excited, and felt that our eunuch party had strength, and the party leader had two brushes, just a small loss to be able to rank with the emperor, see who dares to discriminate against us!

The anti-eunuch people were extremely indignant at Mr. Wei's approach, and Mr. Wei's eyes were about to erupt into flames. Everyone thinks that Mr. Wei's appearance on this occasion is purely to make trouble, and he is announcing to the world that he is infinitely close to the emperor, and can even replace the emperor at any time, especially in this scene of the sacrifice ceremony, making trouble in front of Haotian is blasphemy, provocation and disgusting Haotian, everyone can't wait to stab Mr. Wei to death with a knife in his eyes.

But the audience remained calm, and everyone silently watched the performance of Tianqi and Mr. Wei, and no one made any moves. In the case that Haotian may come at any time, all actions outside the procedure are rude, and it is even more rude to rush to the stage to pull Mr. Wei down. If you really want to do this, it doesn't matter whether God will punish you or not, Wei will always not allow such a person to live in the world, and Wei always wants whoever dies in the third watch will not live to the dawn. Therefore, no matter how indignant everyone in the audience was, they were as silent as ever, and no one dared to express their emotions, but they cursed in their hearts, drawing circles in their cuffs with their fingers and cursing Mr. Wei for his early death.

After the end of the ceremony, the anti-eunuchs sat together, scolding Mr. Wei for his deceitfulness, arrogance, and Sima Zhao's heart, all thinking that Mr. Wei would suffer retribution sooner or later for being so arrogant, and God would destroy a person before he could make it beautiful, Mr. Wei was already crazy, and the good days were coming to an end. In the end, everyone said that they would not take any specific action against Mr. Wei in the near future, the general trend is still on Mr. Wei's side, with the support of the apocalypse, Mr. Wei is invincible in the world, all resistance is a senseless sacrifice, and it is the best choice to keep a useful body for the day.
