Chapter 171: In the limelight
Henan Mansion, Yang Yun met Gao Lishi, the powerful eunuch of the Xuanzong Dynasty.
Gao Lishi sat on the Hu bed in the middle of the back hall of the mansion, Yang Yun came to greet him, and Liu Hengzheng respectfully led Yang Yun to him.
"Gao Gong, Yang Tianshi is here."
Liu Hengzheng leaned over and saluted.
Hearing this, Gao Lishi put down the teacup in his hand, looked up at Yang Yun, and his face was not cold: "Yang Tianshi has a good performance in front of the saint today, and he can actually use the blinding method to repair the stone statue, which is gratifying." ”
Liu Hengzheng hurriedly defended: "Yang Tianshi used real skills. ”
Gao Lishi glanced at Liu Hengzheng.
Liu Hengzheng was immediately silent.
Yang Yun said: "It is an honor to be able to serve the saint with what he has learned all his life. ”
"You're a good talker, you're a talented man, whose apprentice are you?" Colliers asked.
Liu Hengzheng hurriedly reminded: "Wuzun is a real apprentice. ”
"Wuzun Zhenren, is the wild Taoist priest who made a big splash at the Qingyang Palace Festival in Shudi? Like your master and apprentice, you like to be in the limelight, and it's nothing in Shudi, but when you get to the foot of the Son of Heaven in the Eastern Capital, you have to be cautious. Colliers said in a slightly warning tone.
Yang Yun understood what Gao Lishi meant.
When Taoist priests are cultivated to the point where they can behave in front of the emperor, they are no longer pure outsiders, but more like politicians who need to serve the imperial power.
The rules of the court are greater than the rules of the door.
"You are very bold, young but brave to take on heavy responsibilities, thankless things others will never do, but you face the difficulties, it is really a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and the next life is terrifying." Colliers.
Yang Yun said: "Gonggong Gao praised it. ”
Gao Lishi frowned slightly, as if he was slightly displeased with Yang Yun calling him "father-in-law".
Gao Lishi said: "Your Majesty will be rewarded for your merits, you have made miraculous achievements with what you have learned, Your Majesty will naturally reward you, and turn around and let Liu Taishou send you to the house." ”
"Thank you."
Yang Yun was not polite, since he had taken a huge risk in repairing the stone statue, it was only natural that he should be rewarded afterwards.
Gao Lishi got up and said: "The Holy Lord admires you very much, but your qualifications are not enough, let you take advantage of it today, and the good arrangement was ruined by a strong wind, otherwise where would you have a place to come out?" ”
Liu Hengzheng said with a smile: "It's still Gao Gong's strategizing, everything is your old credit." ”
"This is not worth it, whoever is credited will be whoever, so to speak."
Gao Lishi looked at Yang Yun and felt that Yang Yun was silent, thinking that Yang Yun was afraid of his majesty and did not dare to speak, and said with a smile, "In the future, the Holy Lord may summon you to the palace, prepare well, we will have a chance to meet." ”
Liu Hengzheng was overjoyed when he learned that the emperor might summon Yang Yun, how could he say that Yang Yun was also recommended by him, and he would follow him.
Yang Yun's face was calm.
Colliers smiled, didn't even say hello, and walked away with his men.
Liu Hengzheng personally sent him out, and Yang Yun just walked to the door of the back hall and stopped.
It's not his home stadium, and it's none of his business.
……
……
Liu Hengzheng came back and was overjoyed: "Yang Tianshi, you are really powerful, and the future career of this official depends on you." ”
Yang Yun hurriedly bowed his hand: "Liu Fu Yin is serious." ”
"Even Gao Gong praised you...... Who is he, when the prime minister is respectful to him, the government and the opposition say that the prime minister can be changed, but the only prince cannot be changed. Whoever he says before the saint will soar. Liu Hengzheng said.
Yang Yun smiled: "It seems that Liu Fuyin has a close relationship with Gao Gonggong?" ”
Liu Hengzheng smiled ashamedly: "When this official was in Chang'an before, he went to visit, but it was always difficult to enter the eyes of Gao Gong, this time thanks to Yang Tianshi...... This time, there is a reward for the saint, and the official has also prepared a thin gift, so I hope that the heavenly master will not refuse. ”
Yang Yun said: "Liu Fu Yin is too polite. ”
"It's Yang Tianshi, you are polite, this official is really fortunate for three lives."
Liu Hengzheng still wanted to say compliments, but suddenly found that Yang Yun's attitude was a little indifferent, and he was suspected of sticking a hot face to a cold ass, so he laughed and said, "It's a pity that the Holy Lord couldn't summon him immediately, maybe someone is obstructing him...... The official is not talking about the high prince, or the other people in front of the saint. ”
Needless to say, this refers to Luo Gongyuan, and it may also be Sanzang King Kong or Concubine Wu Hui and others.
Liu Hengzheng said: "Originally, the government had set up a banquet to entertain Gao Gong and Yang Tianshi, but now Gao Gong ......is gone."
Yang Yun waved his hand: "Poor Dao doesn't want to bother more. ”
"What can be called a nuisance? It's an incomparably honorable honor for this official...... But the Celestial Master cast a spell today, thinking that the mana consumption is huge, and it needs to be restored urgently...... It is better for the official to send someone to send you back to rest, and as soon as the reward comes, the official will send it to you immediately. Liu Hengzheng said.
"Okay."
Yang Yun agreed.
Although Liu Hengzheng was busy with affairs, he still sent Yang Yun out of the mansion.
Many people have gathered in front of the door, knowing that the "Heavenly Master" who has shown great power today has come to the palace in person, and they have gathered to pay homage to the style of the Heavenly Master.
Liu Hengzheng said with a smile: "The people's admiration for the Heavenly Master is from the bottom of their hearts, and I am afraid that the Heavenly Master will add a lot of believers in Luoyang in the future...... The official will also ask the imperial court to build a Taoist temple for the Heavenly Master, so that the Heavenly Master can accommodate him. ”
Yang Yun refused on the spot: "I still like to settle in the people, this time I went to Luoyang, I just wanted to find my long-lost relatives, and I didn't plan to live as a Taoist priest." ”
"Huh!? Thinking about it, this is called the Chance of Fate Meeting, otherwise the Heavenly Master would not have come to Luoyang, and he would not have repeatedly shown magical spells in front of the world...... Tiansheng is indifferent, and it is also inherited from the teachings of Wuzun...... This official wants to see the demeanor of Wuzun Heavenly Master more and more. ”
Liu Hengzheng looked at it with longing, feeling that since the apprentice was so powerful, the master must be a master in the world.
Yang Yun thought of Songmei's fake and serious appearance in front and obscene in the back, so he couldn't help but shake his head and went to the carriage.
……
……
On the way back, Yang Yun pondered and speculated that Gao Lishi was wary of him.
He has no chance to get close to the emperor for the time being, and it is even possible that he will be retaliated against by some people.
If you move someone else's cake, someone else is powerful and powerful, how can you not take him under the knife?
"It's a sin!" Yang Yun sighed.
He didn't go back to the drunken fairy building, but returned to the rented courtyard, the home repair was completed, and with the return of a few little Lori, the house became lively.
Wu Yuan was no longer there at this time, presumably to see Changchun Zhenren, and Yang Yuhuan followed Yarou and the others back to the small courtyard.
"Shiro, have you seen the saint?"
Yang Yuhuan saw Yang Yun coming back, stepped forward and pulled Yang Yun's sleeve and asked.
Yang Yun shook his head and said: "It's just that when I saw Gao Lishi, he came up for the saint to preach the reward, and even the reward hasn't been issued yet." ”
Yang Yuhuan looked regretful: "For such a big achievement, the saint will not summon it, it's too much to say, right?" ”
Yang Yun didn't answer, looked at the sky, and asked, "Ninth sister, it's so late, you haven't returned home yet?" ”
"I'm not going back yet."
Yang Yuhuan said with some frustration, "I don't know how to talk to the third uncle and third aunt when I go back...... They wouldn't let me come out, but if they knew that I had not only come out, but also gone with you to the Great Void Temple, they would have to grounded me...... They're still haunted by what happened last time. ”
Yang Yun probed Yang Xuanhuan's tone and knew that Yang Xuanhuan didn't care too much about Yang Yuhuan's dealings with the powerful, but Yang Xuanhuan wanted to catch a big fish at once.
It was precisely because he wanted to marry Yang Yuhuan to the prince and nobles that he prevented Yang Yuhuan from contacting the children of ordinary officials.
Yang Yun said: "My sister can go back and tell the third uncle and third aunt the truth, what we did today is not a shameful thing." ”
"Oh."
Yang Yuhuan thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, today, the news of your successful restoration of the Dao statue has spread all over Luoyang, and the third uncle may forgive us." Oh yes, Shiro, there is something I forgot to tell you, didn't you disappear for a while while you were cultivating the statue? At that time, the saint and his father-in-law went to the high platform together, and a richly dressed woman followed them, and asked me questions at that time, but I didn't answer. ”
Yang Yun frowned slightly.
It wasn't that he didn't expect that Li Longji might break into his place of practice.
However, even if Li Longji, Gao Lishi and others found out that he was not there, it would be nothing.
The Cultivation Statue was originally completed with spells, and the more this happened, the more it could increase his sense of mystery, and on the contrary, it would make those who wanted to attack him jealous.
Yang Yun secretly thought: "Gao Lishi emphasized that I was using a blinding method, I thought it was a temptation, but now it seems that he is afraid of me, living in the temple, and he is also afraid that the Taoist priest will be equipped with a spell and endanger his personal safety...... It seems that he won't tear his face with me anytime soon. ”
Then I thought about it again: "According to historical development, in the future, my sister will be the most favored concubine in front of the emperor, and I am the uncle of the country, so I can't make a bad deal with Gao Lishi." ”
……
……
Yang Yuhuan went home.
Yang Yun personally sent her to the third uncle's house, and after Yang Yuhuan entered the inner courtyard, he briefly communicated with Yang Xuanjun, who rushed to hear the news.
Although Yang Xuanjian did not go to the Great Sky View in person, he also heard about Yang Yun's miraculous performance, and there was not much joy on his face, and he looked worried.
"Shiro should discuss with me first when he does this, you will put yourself in danger if you do this." Yang Xuanjian said.
Yang Yun said: "The child didn't want to come forward to take on such a responsibility, but the situation was extremely critical at that time, so he could only improvise. ”
"You also brought the jade slave with you?" Yang Xuanjun asked.
"Yes."
Yang Yun didn't hide it, he came here to explain the matter to Yang Xuanjian.
Yang Xuanjun asked anxiously, "Then ...... See the saint? ”
"Yes."
Yang Yun replied very simply.
Yang Xuanjian had a little more expectation on his face, and asked, "What does the saint do to her...... What do you guys think? ”
Yang Yun knew from Yang Xuanjian's reaction: "The third uncle actually wants Yang Yuhuan to make eye contact with His Majesty, so he hooks up with ...... However, Yang Yuhuan is a young girl, even if she is equipped with charm, it is difficult to avoid being nervous and unable to play when facing the saint. ”
Yang Yun pretended not to know, and said: "The saint didn't say much, my sister was behind me at the time, and she didn't show anything. ”
"Alas!"
Yang Xuanjian was obviously a little disappointed when he heard Yang Yun's words.
Yang Yun asked, "What does the third uncle mean......?" ”
Yang Xuanjun was stunned for a moment when asked, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I don't want your brothers and sisters to be in danger, there are so many jackals, tigers and leopards in front of the saint, and the prestige of Luo Tianshi alone has spread all over the world, and you actually show your talent in front of him, things are not good." ”
"Oh, then according to the meaning of the third uncle, should I take a temporary shelter from the limelight?" Yang Yundao.
"That's not necessary, he can't do anything to you in Luoyang City, as long as the Holy One remembers you, no one will dare to do anything to you, but if the Holy Lord forgets you in the future, you have to be careful...... You should pay more attention to the knowledge in the field of power. Yang Xuanjian said in the tone of an elder.
Yang Yun arched his hand: "Thank you for the teachings of the third uncle." ”
Yang Xuanjun waved his hand and said, "You go back first, don't worry about the jade slave, I won't blame." Next, I will probe the tone of the imperial court, and if the situation is not good, you will leave Luoyang immediately, so as not to be harmed by traitors! ”
