Text Chapter 43 Linghu Xingzhi
Linghu Xingzhi walked out of the Taiji Palace, went out of the door, beckoned to the attendants and palace maids standing on both sides, signaled them to enter the main hall, and after watching those people enter with their heads down like quails, he left the door of the main hall and walked to the right. Every time he took a step, the momentum on his body changed, from the cautious introverted to the majestic tiger standing on the dragon plate, and whenever someone met him on the left side, they all avoided to the side, bowed and stood solemnly, bowing their heads and being speechless.
Now, he is no longer the same as when he was next to Yingzong, at that time, he was hunched back, his face wrinkled, and his expression soft, like a docile old dog.
Now, he is tall and tall, walking with wind and might, his eyes are like electricity, and others dare not look directly, like a tiger patrolling his own mountains and forests.
There are only two periods for which he will not be by Yingzong's side.
The first time period is when Yingzong practiced, at that time, Yingzong would enter the secret room of the palace, the Taiji Hall was where the Shang Dynasty was located, and the Shangshufang was the office space.
Yingzong's dormitory is located in the pear orchard of Daming Palace.
This pear orchard is built by Emperor Shenzong, Emperor Shenzong likes to listen to operas, likes to sing and dance, likes to enjoy, therefore, specially built such a courtyard, beautiful and fantastic, with the style of Jiangnan garden, for this reason, but also deliberately transported Taihu Lake stone from thousands of miles away from Taihu Lake, those Taihu Lake stones are the lightest have thousands of catties, if it is not for the existence of warriors, the degree of labor and wealth is no different from the Northern Song Dynasty Huashi Gang.
In this pear orchard, Shenzong raised a lot of opera troupes, as well as singers and dancers, consumed a lot of money and food, usually, for their own singing and dancing, very happy, in the court celebration, these servants went out in a big way, creating a peaceful and prosperous atmosphere.
After the rebellion of Yan Zhao, Shenzong fled in a hurry, and those servants in the pear orchard were also scattered and sent out.
Xuanzong succeeded to the throne, he was not as ridiculous as his father Shenzong, and did not re-recruit servants or dancing girls into the pear garden, but it was a pity that this place was vacant, so he moved the dormitory to the pear garden. Whether it is from the perspective of comfort or the beauty of the scenery, the pear garden is far superior to the other palace courtyards in the Daming Palace, and it is also suitable for the emperor's bedroom.
In this era when the family of gate lords rules the world, no Taoist gentleman will jump out to accuse the emperor, saying that the emperor is too extravagant, should abide by the system, and obediently endure hardships in the dark palace.
After Yingzong succeeded to the throne, he continued to live in Liyuan.
He opened a secret room in the pear garden, and when he practiced, he would enter the secret room alone, and no one had ever entered or exited that secret room except for Handan Jun in his infancy, even Ling Hu Xingzhi had not entered it.
When Yingzong was practicing in the secret room, Ling Hu Xingzhi could leave.
When Yingzong ordered Linghu Xingzhi to do errands, just like now, he would not accompany Yingzong either.
In addition, he would never leave Yingzong thirty zhang away at any time, even if he was sleeping, he would wait outside the door, an innate master like him, he didn't need to sleep, even if he was standing and practicing, he could rest.
Now, he left the Taiji Hall because he was instructed by Yingzong.
Yingzong needs a group of completely reliable people, sent to Xuanzhen Temple, responsible for waiting for the living of Handan Jun Du Rui, among these people, there must be first-class warriors, relying on the protection of a palace maid of Gongsun Jianmen, which is somewhat unreliable. Because he only trusted Linghu Xingzhi, Yingzong instructed Linghu Xingzhi to do this matter immediately, so as not to have too many dreams at night.
Therefore, Ling Hu Xingzhi left the Taiji Palace.
God-granted?
Ling Hu Xingzhi sneered.
As a superior, he definitely doesn't want to be seen through by the people below, so he always makes an unfathomable appearance, but what about the people below? Even if he has seen through the superiors, he will pretend to be stupid who doesn't know anything.
For Yingzong, Ling Hu Xingzhi really knows too much.
This is a guy who believes in destiny very much!
Even, it can cause hallucinations.
At a very young age, Yingzong felt that he was destined to return, and his wisdom and martial arts were comparable to the ancestor Taizong, he looked down on his father Xuanzong in his heart, thinking that Xuanzong was too cowardly, and blindly retreated, to the Guo family, to the gate valve in Guanzhong, and to the family in Guandong...... One by one, during his reign, there was no way to deal with the warlords in the land of Yan Zhao, and even abandoned the Hexi Corridor, causing the Silk Road to be cut off, and the majesty of the imperial court was declining day by day.
He was a superstitious man.
At that time, Ling Hu Xingzhi also knew that Yingzong was quietly worshipping a god, and this statue was located in the secret room, so no one knew who the god was, and Ling Hu Xingzhi was not clear.
At the beginning, on the day Handan Jun was born, there was a rainbow across the Daming Palace in the sky.
And it's not a rainbow.
Rather, it is seven rainbows, which are located in seven places in the sky, arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper.
That day, Linghu Xingzhi was by Yingzong's side, and he knew very well that after seeing the rainbow, Yingzong's expression was very complicated, with excitement, envy, nervousness, and uneasiness......
Later, he entered the secret room alone.
An hour later, he came out of the secret room, and at this time, Handan Jun Du Rui was born, and at the moment he was born, the seven rainbows in the sky dissipated instantly.
Later, the news came that the Jingbian Army had conquered Handan.
At that time when the Jingbian army captured Handan, Du Rui happened to be born.
This is the reason why Yingzong regards Du Rui as the darling of heaven, this is why he doted on Du Rui in every way in the first place, and even took Du Rui, a baby in swaddling clothes, even when he entered the secret room to practice or worship God.
Because he was afraid that someone would have ill intentions towards Du Rui, Yingzong personally took Du Rui with him to take care of him, among them, Linghu Xingzhi was the one who took care of Du Rui the most, because Yingzong only believed in him. When Du Rui was diagnosed with dementia, Yingzong was disappointed, so that Hu Xingzhi still has an impression, at that time, he also ate a lot of hanging, and was almost expelled from Yingzong.
Yingzong blamed him a little, it was he who didn't take good care of Du Rui, and was found by some evil people.
At that time, Yingzong didn't want to believe that Du Rui was born with dementia, he still had expectations, thinking that he might have fallen into the evil law, and in the future, he would get better, and he would definitely get better!
Of course, as big as the hope, the disappointment is as strong as the disappointment!
How moody Yingzong was at that time, so that Hu Xingzhi remembered deeply, he was also trembling, and carefully survived, during this period, I don't know how many serving chamberlains and palace maids died under the staff.
Just now, the reason why Linghu Xingzhi said that it was a gift from heaven was just to the favor of the Ying Sect.
He didn't believe a word of what came out of his own mouth!
God-granted?
How is there God?
Even if there is God, is God's surname Du?
Emperor!
Yes, the emperor is the son of God!
However, there is another sentence, the emperor takes turns to sit, come to my house today!
Princes and generals, would you rather have a kind?
If God had a spirit and God was fair, he would not have castrated into the palace at a very young age, and he would not have lived like he is now.
Yes, he grovelled in front of Yingzong, however, once he left Yingzong, he was the big man who stood tall, and in the entire Daming Palace, including those masters, there were only a handful of people who could really not care and give him cold eyes at any time. However, all of this, he would rather exchange it for the one thing he lost, the one that could be passed on to the next generation!
I heard that the reason why Liu Qianfan put down his power and lived in seclusion in the courtyard of the palace was to break through the barriers.
Once you break through the realm of the Great Grandmaster and get close to the Heavenly Dao, you can rebirth that thing, or this is the reason why Liu Qianfan let go of power, because he has the same ambition as himself!
In short, Linghu Xingzhi doesn't believe in God.
The reason why he said that was because he liked the British Sect on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also had his own purpose.
He has been following Yingzong very well about one thing, that is, Yingzong really has strong expectations for Du Rui, thinking that he is the savior of Datang, and in the future, if he sits in that position under his ass, he will definitely be able to make some achievements. If Yingzong believes that Du Rui is a godsend, then he can spend a lot of money to support Du Rui, you know, this is a cold stove!
Now, Linghu and Yingzong are grasshoppers on a rope.
It is impossible for him to change the court, no one believes him, and all he can rely on is imperial power.
Like the other princes, three of them were born to the queen, after the prince was stabbed and wounded, his body has been very weak, if it were not for the existence of Empress Guo, the crown prince would not be as shaky as it is now, and most of them have been kicked down. His younger brother, King Zhao Du Tao, looks gentle and frugal, but there is a miasma behind him, as King Zhao, he is eyeing the position under his brother's buttocks, and he doesn't know how many hands and feet he has done in private?
In addition, there is also the child born to the Gu family, Zhongnan Jun Du Xu, who is now walking in the six departments, and is deeply respected by those officials.
Of course, Yan Wang Du Yun, who is a few months older than Du Rui, cannot be ignored, he is a genius, a real genius, although he is still young, he is also eye-catching.
The other princes almost all have the power of the gate valve family behind them, and it is impossible for him to meddle in it and fall into it.
Now, an opportunity to fall has come, and he must seize him and lay out in advance.
Ling Hu Xingzhi didn't believe in God's endowment, however, through the clues he collected, he couldn't find the reason why Du Rui became so powerful.
At the beginning, Du Rui lived in the Hanxiang Garden of Daming Palace, next to the cold palace, and because Yingzong disliked him, everyone's attention was not there, even those spies of the Warden Department were just routine, and the report files in less than half a month were all exactly the same, which was also the reason why the guy from the Warden Department took back all the spies after Du Rui went to Xuanzhen Temple.
Anyway, that guy is the same every day, and the dossier or something can be copied from the last time.
There must be a reason for this!
It's just that I haven't found out yet.
Linghu Xingzhi strode towards his destination, smiling and saluting the eunuchs and palace maids who bowed their heads to him from time to time, but his eyes were always squinted, his eyes were cold, and occasionally, a wisp of deep thought passed.
Did someone fall first?
Who could this man be?
