Back in the palace, Shen Xizhen recorded the content of the conversation with Long San just now, made a booklet, and put it on the desk of Emperor Guangen's review and folding.

I have to admit that the wisdom of the people is actually more down-to-earth wisdom, and the things they pay attention to are more in line with the wishes of the people, so Emperor Guangen and Long San have an agreement - to meet once every three months to chat with each other.

Xi has now reached an unprecedented prosperity in the fields of national defense, economy, agriculture, transportation, education, diplomacy and so on, so the focus of Emperor Guangen's current governance is not on defense or attack, but on improving people's living standards and spiritual level, he knows that if a country's citizens want to stay away from ignorance, they need to really have a set of morality, so "Analects", "Mencius", "Zhuangzi", "Laozi" and "Zhou Yi" have become the Xi court's free must-read books to every family. Lectures were also held regularly in each city, and doctors sent by the imperial court gave lectures.

Gradually, the people's ideological realm has also been generally improved.

This is what Emperor Guangen hoped for, and it was also what Shen Xizhen hoped for.

In this dynasty, which is thousands of years away from the era before she crossed over, it is a gratifying thing to be able to eliminate ignorance and barbarism to the greatest extent, so Shen Xizhen has been in a good mood recently.

She went to see the woman in purple as promised, and conveyed that Emperor Guangen was willing to marry her brother and sister, and the woman in purple followed her into the palace to see Emperor Guangen.

This was the second time Emperor Guangen saw her, and he was surprised that she looked even more amazing than back then.

"I have always remembered your actions to save me back then, and you were in such a hurry when you left. I haven't even asked you what kind of reward you need, but this time the queen sincerely invites you to come, hoping that I and you can have a brother-sister relationship. Then I am glad to do so. Emperor Guangen looked at her and said.

Since he loved Shen Xizhen wholeheartedly, no matter how beautiful a woman he looked, he always felt that the other party was missing something, so even if he felt amazing at the first glance at the woman in purple, he had no other thoughts.

The woman in purple also heard the perfection in Emperor Guangen's tone, and knew that he didn't love her, so she smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Originally, she decided to cultivate into human form out of her burning love for him. At that time, she was in the mood like a little girl who had just fallen in love, but now it seems that she can't keep that affection anymore.

Anyway, I was already planning to practice wholeheartedly. It shouldn't be like that delusion again, being able to form brothers and sisters with him is already a gift from God, and it is necessary to be content and cherish blessings.

So the woman in purple was able to enter and leave the palace under the name of 'Xun Zi' and the sister of Emperor Guangen, but she was very cautious this time. In addition to going to the palace once a month to have a look. The rest of the time he continued to practice in the mountains.

I went to Matsuyama to ask the second elder of Matsuyama to return alone, and reported that the second elder had no intention of leaving the mountain.

Emperor Guangen and Shen Xizhen glanced at each other - it seemed that they still had to go out in person.

Of course, they invited the second elder of Matsuyama out of the mountain not to ask them for help, but to get more wisdom from them to govern the world, you know, although there are thousands of people in this world, but there are not many people with great wisdom, if you know that there are such people, you should really find a way to contact them.

So Shen Xizhen decided to go to Songshan in person to meet the two elders for a while.

Matsuyama is more than a thousand miles away from the capital. And it is located on the top of the deep mountains, and the mountains are rugged. Horses could not go up the mountain, so Shen Xizhen set up the horses at the foot of the mountain and began to climb the mountain with two retinues.

There are thousands of peaks here, the terrain is steep, the roads are rugged, and I don't see a person after walking for a few days.

They walked and stopped, slept on the rocks in the mountains, and when they were hungry, they ate a little dry food that they brought with them, and so on little by little they made their way to the top of Matsuyama.

I walked from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain for three days, not because the road was too far, but because the road was too difficult to walk. When they finally overcame all the difficulties and reached the top of the mountain, they suddenly felt a light in front of them.

But I saw that there were several connected huts on the top of the mountain, and there were orchards and vegetable fields on the side, and under a big tree, two white-bearded old men were playing chess intently.

Needless to say, they are the second elder of Matsuyama. Shen Xizhen took a deep breath and walked towards them respectfully.

They seemed to be aware of her arrival, but instead of greeting her, they remained intently looking at the chessboard.

Shen Xizhen liked their detached attitude very much, so he didn't regard himself as a queen anymore, and quietly helped them make tea.

When he saw that the tea on their teacups was finished, he poured them intimately and said nothing else.

The two attendants who followed her didn't dare to rush forward to disturb, so they sat down on the stone bench next to them, and Shen Xizhen poured some tea into their bamboo tubes.

The sun went down, and the second elder finally stopped playing chess and raised his head to look at Shen Xizhen.

In fact, they could guess who she was without her introducing herself, but they still treated her neither humbly nor arrogantly, and one of the old men asked her, "Why did you come to this deep mountain?" ”

"I have admired the second elder for a long time, and I will come here for a while." Shen Xizhen hurriedly saluted them.

"It's just rumored by the outside world, and it's not necessarily true." Another old man said with a smile.

"As the saying goes, 'each other is born from the heart', so the little woman also believes that the two are people whose spiritual realm is higher than ordinary people from the appearance of the two people she sees at this moment." Shen Xizhen said respectfully.

The second elder smiled lightly and did not answer.

Shen Xizhen continued: "The second elder has escaped the pursuit of the world and found inner peace, so he must have many unique experiences, right? ”

The second elder smiled and did not answer.

Shen Xizhen smiled and understood.

"Today, the saint deeply feels that governing the world is like a practice, so I want to ask the second elder for the wisdom of governing the world, I wonder if the second elder is willing to teach one or two?"

"We are already old men, and I am afraid that we will not be able to take on this heavy responsibility." One of the two elders replied.

"The second elder is humble, as the saying goes, there must be my teacher in a threesome, the second elder has eaten much more salt and walked many more roads than today's saints, how can he not afford it?" Shen Xizhen said with a smile.

The second elder smiled again and was silent.

"In ancient times, there were Jiang Ziya and Shangshan Sihao, they were all famous hermits, but they all came out when the country needed the assistance of capable people, in fact, today's saints are also thirsty for talents." Shen Xizhen said again.

"Xi Kingdom is now in a peaceful and prosperous era, so you don't need us, right?"

"Yes, the more powerful the country, the more the monarch needs to keep a clear head, so the more he needs to have the wisdom to look at the overall situation, but because of age and experience, the emperor will inevitably have a place that is not imaginative, so I hope to have the assistance of the second elder, in that case, the future of the Xi Kingdom will definitely be brighter."

Shen Xizhen said respectfully.

The three of them chatted until late at night, and the second elder of Matsuyama agreed to go down the mountain to assist Emperor Guangen.

"But we have a request – we want to come back and stay here for a month every month when we are out of the mountain, so that it will be easier to balance our body and mind." One of the two elders.

That's a yes!

Shen Xizhen was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Okay! ”

In this way, Shen Xizhen took them into the palace early the next morning. (To be continued......)
