Luoyang Imperial Palace, Xuannu View.

Li Longji looked at Yang Yuhuan with eager eyes, and asked, "How can I be sincere and comprehend the Great Dao?" ”

Yang Yuhuan replied solemnly: "It's all in my heart." ”

"All in the heart?"

Li Longji looked at Yang Yuhuan's delicate face in a daze, as if he was inspired and fell into a state of contemplation.

Yang Yuhuan felt Li Longji's fiery eyes, his expression was not shocked, and he stood with a smile.

The two of them have their own ghosts, hoping to use unnutritious scenes to temporarily stabilize each other, but the purpose is actually very simple...... Li Longji went out in order not to be swept away by Yang Yuhuan, and Yang Yuhuan hoped not to expose his shortcomings that he had no way to show miracles, thinking that Yang Yun was not around, she had no bottom in her heart, so she simply pretended to be deep in front of Li Longji.

After a long time, it was Li Longji who broke the silence: "Then the immortal, can I ...... With you...... Comprehend the Tao with your own heart? ”

Yang Yuhuan glanced at Li Longji, she didn't quite understand what Li Longji meant by "comprehending together", turned around and walked towards the hall, and left a sentence with an indifferent expression: "If you are willing to stay, let it be." ”

After speaking, he returned to the room in the apse to rest, leaving Li Longji alone.

Li Longji walked into the temple of the goddess, and wanted to go directly to the place where Yang Yuhuan was resting at the back of the hall, but he was afraid of offending the Xuannu, so he finally stayed in the hall, knelt down and sat down in front of the statue of the Xuannu, and "enlightened" the Dao Fa in front of the statue of the Xuannu.

……

……

Li Longji visited the enlightenment overnight and did not see Yang Yuhuan again.

Until the morning, he could not bear the hunger and sleepiness, got up and went to the outside of the Taoist temple, Gao Lishi was more sad than him, and blew a cold wind outside all night.

"Your Majesty, ...... you?"

Gao Lishi thought that what he was most worried about had happened, and Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan had achieved good things.

Seeing Li Longji's tired appearance, like a exhausted ghost who came out of the concubine's dormitory in the middle of the night, Gao Lishi thought that the wood was already in the boat.

Gao Lishi was secretly sad, but he heard Li Longji say: "When I go back to the dormitory, I want to rest, and when I come here later to understand the Dao Fa, I must use my heart." ”

Colliers was very puzzled by what Li Longji said...... Emperor, what's wrong?

Looks like a bit of a magic barrier!

Looking at Li Longji's outfit carefully, it was a little unkempt, as if he had not loosened his clothes, let alone achieved good deeds.

Gao Lishi wondered in his heart: "Could it be that Your Majesty really comprehended the Dao Law in it all night, and nothing happened?" ”

Colliers is flawless? Reluctantly looked back at the door, and then followed Li Longji. He could only hope that after the emperor rested, he would find an opportunity to come over and ask the female officials in the Xuannu Temple.

But this night down? Gao Lishi was also very tired, so he sent Li Longji to sleep in the dormitory? He can't open his eyelids anymore? Groggy head? I was out of breath even when I took a step, so I had to find a nearby place to deal with it.

When Colliers woke up here? It was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and I asked the attendant to come over to inquire, only to know that Li Longji had woken up at noon and went to the Xuannu Temple to comprehend the Tao again? He could only rush to the Xuannu Temple without stopping, and found that he was one step too late, and the emperor had already entered the Taoist Temple.

Li Longji can't come out halfway? Just when Gao Lishi was distraught and wondered whether to stay outside, the little eunuch who was close to him ran over and reported to him the confidential information he had just collected.

"Gao Gong? I heard that General Zhang sent someone to rescue two Hu generals from death row? It took thousands of dollars just to take care of the relationship, and who knew that someone was killed on the way to the north......"

When he reported, the little eunuch's face was full of fear.

Gao Lishi was a little surprised: "The people of the Youzhou Jiedu Embassy dare to openly bully the king, robbing people in Luoyang City?" Why is it still intercepted and killed halfway after being rescued from the city? Could it be the smoke they emitted themselves? ”

Gao Lishi felt that since Zhang Shouqi dared to rescue people, the road must be carefully arranged, and there would be no accident halfway, and it was hard for him to believe that someone would kill Zhang Shouqi for the so-called justice, and the impact of a town was not small.

"Back to Gao Gong, I don't know what the situation is now." The little eunuch could not get more detailed information.

"What about the Governor of You, who came to give gifts?"

Gao Lishi thought of Zhang Zhong, who gave him a generous gift before and got him to see him.

The little eunuch shook his head and said, "I should go back to Youzhou." ”

Gao Lishi was anxious, for fear that Zhang Shouqi's bribery would be known to Li Longji, so Li Longji thought that he was secretly helping Zhang Shouqi and letting go of the death row prisoners who could affect the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty.

He secretly complained in his heart: "How could I be so confused at that time that I went to lobby for the surname Zhang to come to His Majesty?" Something has happened now, once Your Majesty learns the inside story, you must suspect me of malicious intentions! Could it really be as Xuannu foresaw that day, the existence of these people will affect the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty? ”

"Let's go, follow me to meet the people from the military department."

Gao Lishi knew that Li Longji had entered the Xuannu Temple, and it was likely that he would have to wait for the early morning of the next day to reappear, so he could wait for the ugly hours of tomorrow morning.

The emperor didn't say that he had to accompany him, the worst situation here was just that Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan achieved good things, but it was something that happened in the Taoist temple, and he had no ability to stop it at all.

Immediately, Gao Lishi took the little eunuch to leave the Xuannuguan Temple and went straight to the outside of the palace.

……

……

The situation in the capital suddenly became delicate.

The crown prince fell, Concubine Wu Hui died, the position of the prince was vacant, the emperor was obsessed with Taoist affairs, Zhang Jiuling's prestige in the court did not rise but fell, and Li Linfu took the opportunity to gather people's hearts and prepare to take the throne.

At this time, everyone was trying their best to get a high position, and Gao Lishi, who was almost the number two person in the court, was also worried about the rapid rise of the Yang family, but after Yang Yun left Luoyang, he began to focus on dealing with other political enemies.

For Colliers, it is not wise to directly confront Yang Yun and Yang Yuhuan at the moment.

At this time, it is the time when the emperor trusts the Yang sisters and brothers the most, if one or two sentences are not suitable, the emperor will be furious, and before no one proves that Yang Yuhuan's identity is a fraud, the status of the Yang sisters and brothers cannot be shaken.

Gao Lishi has experienced many turbulent waves of court struggles, and knows that as a slave, he can't fight with his master.

Because Concubine Wu Hui is half of his "master".

And now Yang Yuhuan's situation is basically the same as before, Yang Yuhuan is the righteous concubine of the Tang Dynasty, once Yang Yuhuan sits in this position, then Gao Lishi feels that he has lost the ability to compete, and if the name is not right, it is not good, it is better to get rid of those who are in the way of the court first.

Just when there were many deceitful political transactions and struggles in the capital, and it could even be said that it was a big purge, Yang Yun took a group of little Lori, away from the center of the imperial court, and enjoyed the relaxation of the holiday with peace of mind.

This time, his goal was very clear, that is, to go all the way north, cross the Yellow River to Hedong Road.

Zezhou in the east of the river is the birthplace of Chinese culture, 20,000 years ago left the ruins of Gaodu, Tashui River, Xiachuan and other ruins, it is the birthplace of myths such as Nuwa mending the sky, Yugong moving mountains, Yu chiseling stone gates, Shang Tang raising rain, etc., it is also the world-famous "iron capital", which began in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, flourished in the smelting industry of the Spring and Autumn Period, and advanced in the development of thousands of years, and the "Yang A Ancient Sword" of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was produced in Zezhou.

Zezhou area is rich in coal and iron reserves, but until the middle of the Tang Dynasty, iron ore was mined in so many places, coal is not the mainstream fuel, Zezhou's coal quality is good, accounting for more than a quarter of China's anthracite coal reserves, Zezhou coal is crystal bright, when the hand touches it is not stained or painted, it is smokeless and tasteless when burning, it is a good product for industrial and civil burning, and it has been selected by the British royal family as a special coal for fireplaces in later generations, which can not only replace coke directly for metallurgy, but also is an ideal chemical raw material.

Yang Yun explored the terrain and landforms all the way, and encountered delicious and fun in the towns along the way, and let a few little Loli get off the carriage to enjoy it, and the small life was extremely comfortable.

The carriage is not moving fast, so that the little Loli are not too tired, and these little Loli themselves have superpowers, and their physical fitness is much stronger than that of ordinary girls.

Along the way, there were people from the Mi family who contacted Yang Yun.

At first, it was only the people sent by the Mi family who were responsible for helping to contact, and later Mi Ying also set off from Luoyang and came to chase Yang Yun with his manpower, taking care of him along the way.

Mijia has now changed the focus of the industry from licensed goods to production and sales.

From a big traveling businessman, to a sitting businessman.

They know that they must have the support of the political forces in the DPRK and China, and the Yang family's current status is very high, although it is only an illusory national teacher at present, but it can be said on Li Longji's side, and Yang Yun's identity as a servant of the imperial history has not been deprived, which is equivalent to saying that Yang Yun is now not only a court official, but also the emperor's most trusted adviser, and the leader of the world's Taoist sects, and his status is extremely respectful.

By early June, when the weather was hot, Yang Yun had completed the exploration of several iron and coal mines, and was ready to find someone to buy land and then organize mining.

In order not to attract the attention of the local government, everything had to be done in secret.

At this time, he learned that Zhang Jiuling was impeached one after another in the court, mainly because Zhang Jiuling did not handle the party disputes in the imperial court well, favored and sheltered the officials of his faction, cracked down on dissidents, and attracted accusations from competitors, but because he was not in Luoyang City, he could not verify the rumors, so he could only wait until he returned to Luoyang to investigate.

At this time, Gao Lishi also sent someone to inform him to return to Luoyang earlier, the emperor was about to return to Chang'an, and he wanted to take him with him, the national teacher, Yang Yun could only pack up his mood and rush back for the time being.

……

……

In the eastern capital of Luoyang, Li Linfu is also paying attention to Yang Yun's movements.

Knowing that Yang Yun crossed the Yellow River, crossed Yuntai Mountain, a branch of Taihang Mountain, and went out of Henan Mansion to Zezhou, he finally relieved himself and concentrated on joining the team to impeach Zhang Jiuling, and secretly united with Niu Xianke, Han Xiu, Li Shizhi and others to stumble Zhang Jiuling from different directions.

Zhang Jiuling's biggest problem is that his partisan thinking is too serious, and he does not like the officials who rely on the shadow to come out and be officials.

Li Shizhi, as the great-grandson of Li Shimin and a figure of the Tang Dynasty, also came out as a relative of the emperor, and was naturally opposed to Zhang Jiuling.

In order to ascend the throne in time, Li Shizhi and Li Linfu joined forces to deal with Zhang Jiuling, gave Zhang Jiuling a fierce medicine among the royal relatives and nobles, and openly declared that Zhang Jiuling was not suitable to be the left minister.

At this time, rumors about Zhang Jiuling's conduct also spread in Chang'an and Luoyang, and many people even believed that Zhang Jiuling was responsible for the failure of Zhang Shouling's troops before.

Although Zhang Jiuling is not the main battle faction, it is rumored that it was because Zhang Jiuling resolutely opposed the war, repeatedly obstructed Zhang Shouqi's troops, and the supply of grain and grass materials was seriously insufficient, which caused the subsequent defeat.

Originally, Li Longji could still observe the situation in the DPRK and China, but recently he has been in a very bad state and completely put aside the affairs of the DPRK.

Moreover, Li Longji has changed the prime minister frequently in recent years, and after Gao Lishi's instigation, he also thought that although Zhang Jiuling was highly capable, he could not be impartial in handling interpersonal relations, and he also thought about changing the prime minister.

So Li Longji wrote a letter and asked Gao Lishi to send it to Zhang Jiuling's mansion, asking how the governor of Niu Xianke, who is currently serving as the right minister, is doing?

It's like the emperor asking his courtiers, let someone else take your place, what do you think?

Zhang Jiuling has always looked down on an official like Niu Xianke, and regardless of the hidden situation behind this matter, he directly put a stamp on Li Longji, stating the various shortcomings of Niu Xianke, and proposing that Niu Xianke should not only not be promoted, but should also be demoted, so that the Manchu civil and military can be convinced.

What's even worse is that some people in the DPRK who are good friends with Zhang Jiuling also jointly signed a concert after Zhang Jiuling played.

seems to cooperate with Zhang Jiuling, wanting to completely bring down Niu Xianke, but he doesn't know that he has already committed a taboo.
