Elder Feng Ge saluted, stood up slowly, and limped back.

The emperor watched Feng Ge go out, and then he stood up from the futon, and now that Zhou Chengling has been taken away, the old Feng Guochang also bowed down to him, he is now a veritable son of heaven.

The emperor flicked his sleeves, and the chamberlain stepped forward and said: "The heavenly family is so happy, why don't you go to the Shangqing courtyard to put incense on the pillars, and you can't unravel the proverbs." ”

The emperor wanted to rest, but when he heard this, he fell asleep and looked at the attendant with appreciation, "Yes, it is exactly what I want." ”

The inner attendant hurriedly stepped forward to serve, and the emperor stretched out his hand to comb the long hair of the immortal wind bone, put his hand behind his back, and ordered, "Don't disturb the Taoist priests' cultivation." ”

The waiter said: "The slave and maid will arrange it, and no one is allowed to pass it." ”

The Emperor nodded in satisfaction.

At this hour, the Shangqing Courtyard was very quiet, and the Taoist priests had already entered the room to meditate, and only the side hall where the alchemy furnace was located was still brightly lit.

Taoist priest Liu Xin looked at the burning alchemy furnace, and the little Taoist priest next to him opened the food box and brought out a plate of dishes, "This is to honor you." ”

Liu Xin closed his eyes and smelled the aroma, he was still reserved, but his stomach was warm after a glass of wine, and he had a smug smile on his face.

The little Taoist priest smiled flatteringly, "Master and the emperor trust you the most now, this Shangqing Courtyard is all handed over to you, and the Dan furnace is also under your care, I heard the inner servant say that the emperor does not know the taste of food if he does not eat the pill you refined, and he can't sleep well, and this proverb is all up to you to understand," Speaking of this, look around, "It's just a pity, we are just Taoist priests, unlike those dignitaries, who call the wind and rain to do whatever they want." ”

Hearing the words of the little Taoist, Liu Xin snorted coldly, "You dare to talk nonsense if you know anything, I think it was not because of proverbs that Su Zong ascended the throne back then." If you want to say that the wind and rain are called, no one can compare to the Shangqing Academy, and no one can escape from this Dan furnace. ”

The little Taoist priest had already heard Liu Xin's words about the Dan furnace, and this time he just wanted to hear it clearly, "Master, what do you mean by this?" ”

Liu Xin rolled his eyes and picked up the chopsticks to pick up the meat on the plate.

……

The emperor went up the steps of the Shangqing Courtyard, and was about to follow the light to the alchemy hall, when a small Taoist priest came out of the hall, looked back in a panic and walked forward, just colliding with the oncoming emperor.

The little Taoist priest was knocked to the ground. The emperor is also a stumbling man.

"Something."

The emperor didn't exert his authority, and the chamberlain next to him stepped forward first to reprimand angrily.

The little Taoist priest's face was pale and he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, so that a letter fell from his sleeve.

It is forbidden to pass documents privately in the palace, especially in the Shangqing Courtyard, where the emperor now lives, and the deployment of the courtyard is even stricter than that of the Qianqing Palace, and people entering and leaving are checked.

The little Taoist priest wanted to pick up the letter but was trampled on by the attendant, and the little Taoist priest was suddenly distracted, his face was pale, and the whole person was paralyzed on the ground.

The chamberlain picked up the letter.

The emperor looked at the Taoist priest and the letter with no good notes on the surface. "Who is this addressed to?"

The little Taoist priest kept shaking his head, "Yes...... Be...... Family Letters......

The bells of the Shangqing Courtyard rang all over the hall, and the emperor's originally happy expression fell back little by little, and in a moment turned into a yin owl.

"Open. Let's see what kind of letter it is. ”

The chamberlain opened the letter, and the little Taoist priest trembled.

It was full of names, and the emperor's eyes swept over the letters, without any words. It was just a person's name, and the emperor didn't speak, and suddenly there was no joy or anger on his face. It's not so arrogant, it's not so casual, it's just that the gaze is getting more and more gloomy.

The emperor glanced at the waiter, the waiter turned around and waved his hand to the guard, and the two guards immediately stepped forward, one blocked the mouth of the little Taoist priest and the other lifted the little Taoist priest, and took the person down like this, without making a sound.

The emperor stretched out his hand to ask for the letter, and the chamberlain hurriedly handed the letter to the emperor, who stretched his long sleeves, raised his head and walked forward, walking through the main hall to the alchemy room.

Standing behind the glass curtain, the sound of laughter was immediately heard inside, and the emperor stood there motionless, like a stone statue.

……

Liu Xin ate a piece of meat, and under the expectation of the little Taoist, he said slowly: "What is in this Dan furnace?" Medicinal herbs and strange things worth thousands of gold, what is the use of these things outside? But after this Dan furnace, it is the magic medicine that the emperor has to take every day. ”

"You said that those civil and military officials outside, how long will they be able to see the emperor? But we can see that the emperor can see us and listen to us, and he is not a hundred times stronger than those so-called dignitaries. ”

Liu Xin raised his head after speaking, and suddenly found that there was a person standing behind the glass curtain in front of him, and he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

The Emperor opened the curtain and walked in.

Liu Xin knocked the wine bowl in front of him to the ground in a panic.

"Your Majesty, Weichen deserves to die, Weichen deserves to die, Weichen is greedy...... "Quanzhen Taoism has clear rules and precepts, you can't drink wine and eat meat, it was Quanzhen Taoism that used to be in charge of the Shangqing Academy, and the emperor ordered all Taoist priests who entered the Shangqing Academy to abide by the precepts.

It was a big taboo for him to eat and drink in the Danfang like this.

What he just said is not right or not, although they can often see the emperor, but the companion is like a tiger, and the thunder, rain and dew are all gentlemen.

Liu Xin's heart was about to jump out.

Thousands of people shouldn't be, they shouldn't get carried away, Liu Xin suddenly lost all his thoughts.

The emperor did not get angry as Liu Xin thought, but flicked his sleeves to let Liu Xin get up, "I know that you were Zhengyi before entering the palace, and I believed in Zhang Tianshi, and I also believed in Zhang Tianshi, but I have a law that you are not allowed to drink alcohol for a day in the Shangqing Courtyard, and the rod is fifty," the emperor said and looked at the inner attendant, "Let Liu Daochang go and receive the staff in a while." ”

Liu Xin knelt down and bowed, "Weichen thanked the emperor for not killing." ”

The emperor sat on the soft seat, leaned forward, and a smile appeared on his face, "How should it be, everyone says that I favor the Taoist priest, and I believe in you, but I can't let you do whatever you want." ”

Liu Xin hurriedly kowtowed, "The minister is afraid, the minister is guilty." ”

"Get up," the emperor looked at the alchemy furnace, as if he was in a good mood, and stretched out his hand to ask Liu Xin for the pill, "Is the pill ready?" ”

"It's cured, so I'll go and get it." Liu Xin hurriedly got up and bent down respectfully and took out the golden pill from the cabinet, which he had refined a long time ago, just waiting for the future if he committed a crime, he might be able to save his life.

The box opened, and a fragrant smell immediately emanated, and the pills glowed golden in the light.

The emperor seemed to be very happy by the light, "Okay, I should reward Aiqing." ”

Liu Xin knelt down again.

The emperor said: "I saw a little Taoist priest outside the hall, and the Taoist priest was holding a letter in his hand, what was inside?" ”

Liu Xin was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses again.

Letters, what letters, it must have been given to him by Feng Ge Lao, so that he could not make a wrong step in front of the emperor in the emperor's divination and said that he could not make a wrong step in front of the emperor, otherwise he would never recover, not only would he be in a catastrophe, but also involve Feng Ge Lao, so that the emperor knew that Feng Ge Lao controlled the emperor through the Shangqing Yuan to control the government, and the entire Feng Party would be finished.

Liu Xin hurriedly threw himself on the ground, "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, the minister divined the candidates of this subject, and determined that these people are Wenqu Xing Gaozhao, and they must be named on the gold list." ”

The emperor's eyes lit up, "Can you calculate accurately?" ”

I didn't expect the emperor to believe it like this, the emperor has become more and more convinced of proverbs over the years, but whenever there is any trouble, the emperor has to come to ask the Qing Yuan.

Liu Xin kowtowed, "The ministers watch the sky at night, and there is such a result, these people will definitely help the Great Zhou Dynasty." ”

The emperor nodded, "Then I will keep this letter, and when the palace tries it, I will see that Aiqing's prediction can be accurate." ”

Liu Xin's heart was relieved, and he immediately bowed to the emperor.

The emperor put the pill in his mouth and ate it, then stood up and let the chamberlain follow him out of the Dan room of the Shangqing Courtyard, and went straight back to the dormitory in the back.

The waiter sent the palace people down, the emperor sat on the futon in the middle of the hall and didn't know what he was thinking, the waiter hurriedly brought a cup of tea, and the emperor stretched out his hand to get the tea.

The attendant said in a low voice: "The Heavenly Family takes the new pill, can you feel refreshed?" ”

When the emperor heard this, he picked up a cup of tea and threw it at the feet of the servant, and the waiter was so frightened that he immediately knelt down, "The heavenly family is angry, the heavenly family is angry, it's all the slave's fault, and the slave and maid deserve to die." ”

"You deserve to die," the emperor stood up suddenly, "I believe in Taoism, I want to become an immortal one day, but I am not a fool, and I am not so confused that I can't even see today's events clearly." ”

"Do you all think I'm crazy and can deceive me at will?"

"Whose country is this? And who is the emperor? ”

Step by step, the emperor walked down and stood in front of the chamberlain, and the chamberlain said, "Of course it is the country of the heavenly family...... What's wrong with the Heavenly Family...... Heavenly ...... How could such a thing be said. ”

The emperor sneered, "Feng Guochang not only wants to control the government, he also wants to claim the emperor behind his back, he will treat me as a puppet, play like a fool, if it is Liu Xin who launched the candidate who can be named on the gold list, how could the little Taoist send the letter to the Shangqing Academy, obviously Feng Guochang wants to use the Shangqing Academy to master the Jinke Chunqiu, that Liu Xin drank wine and ate meat in the alchemy room, and he couldn't practice the pill, I said that I wanted to punish him, so he took it out." ”

The emperor looked at the chamberlain, and a strange smile appeared on his lips, "Are you, like them, deceiving me?" Hide it from me? Let me guard against King Xuan day and night, you use this to cultivate your own henchmen, aren't you also familiar with Feng Guochang, and treat him with respect, do you want to tell Feng Guochang word for word about my daily life. ”

The attendant knelt down and kept kowtowing, "The slave and maid are loyal to the heavenly family, there is no second heart, and the heavenly family is aware of ......"

The emperor looked at the chamberlain carefully, and laughed in a very soft voice, "Forgive me for not daring, get up." ”

The chamberlain couldn't wipe the blood on his face, and got up tremblingly, "Heavenly family, what can I do in the future?" If even the Shangqing Yuan is for Feng ...... Feng Guochang does things, who else can believe it? ”

The emperor said: "Don't worry, when I grab his tail, even he will be pulled out by the roots," the emperor said and looked at the inner servant, "Let people check on Wang Zhenting to see what is going on." ”

The emperor slowly opened the letter in his hand, and the first name came into view: Shuntianfu, Chang Yining. (To be continued......)
