Chapter Seventy-Eight: Flying into the Sky and Not Returning Five
The second fly was named Li Daogu, and he was a man of disrepute.
When Li Chunqiu's edict was promulgated, Li Daogu's career was in an unprecedented crisis, because, a few years ago, when he served as the observer of Eyue, he was rampant and tyrannical, which made the people's resentment boil, and the name of greed spread everywhere with the wind, spread all over the land of Jingchu, spread all over the north and south of the river, and finally, finally spread to Chang'an, the capital of the empire. After hearing about his various evil deeds, those officials who had heard about it took action one after another, and they were all brewing one after another to impeach Li Daogu. Li Daogu, who was on the verge of catastrophe, meditated hard and had nothing to do, just when he was in a panic, things unexpectedly took a turn for the better, because Li Chun, the son of heaven, issued an edict to seek immortal medicine!
It was this edict that made Li Daogu's eyes shine: this is an opportunity, a chance to get out of a predicament, and a chance to survive in a desperate situation. As long as you cater to your wishes and win the favor of the Son of Heaven, no matter how big the crisis is, you can easily solve it, and no matter how much impeachment you want, you can gently erase it like spider silk. Because, even if everyone opposes me and attacks me, it doesn't matter, as long as the emperor likes me, you can't do anything, haha!
It's not that Li Daogu doesn't understand the stakes, it's just that he's not like others, he doesn't have so many concerns. Others care about reputation, he doesn't care, because his reputation is already so bad that it can't be worse, and it doesn't matter if he adds another one. Others care about their lives, he doesn't care, because he will quickly lose his life, if he doesn't take action. Therefore, in order to save his little life, in order to keep his official position, in order to keep his glory and wealth, he must take action, immediately!
After careful planning, Li Daogu sent the third fly to Li Chun's side. This is a person with fairy wind bones and crane hair and a childish face, however, a modifier should be added in front of it, it seems. This person who looks like a fairy wind and a crane with a childish face, his name is Liu Mi, and he is a Taoist priest.
As a profession, one of the main jobs of a Taoist priest is to refine medicines, elixirs, and, aphrodisiacs. Coincidentally, these two are Li Chun's favorites, so when Liu Mi rode the yellow crane and flew over, Li Chun's heart was ecstatic.
Soon, Liu Mi's immortal posture of the jade tree in the wind completely conquered Li Chun, the son of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Daogu, who recommended Liu Mi, also became a celebrity in Li Chun's eyes, red and purple, and purple was still black.
At this time, the impeachment of Li Daogu swept in with overwhelming momentum, and there was a great possibility that he would be stoned to death or drowned by the concert. Looking at the mountains of Bai Jian, Li Chun smiled, with a hint of hatred in his smile: It's just that these people themselves don't want to serve, and they can't tolerate the hard work of others before and after the saddle, and they still have to use the topic to play, which is really hateful. As a result, the impeachment of Li Daogu by those officials who worked hard, racked their brains, and carefully considered every word were all put aside by Li Chun, as if he had never seen them.
From the twilight of Jing Chu to the imperial capital full of smoke and willows, from the warlock of the rivers and lakes to the royal immortal master of the Tang Dynasty, Liu Mi, who has ascended to the sky in one step, feels sincerely excited, ecstatic and looking forward to a happy life in the future with full expectations. However, soon, Liu Mi felt the pressure, and the pressure was great.
The pressure came from a man named Li Chun, a clever politician who was like an idiot when it came to seeking immortality and medicine, and his fanatical pursuit of immortality made Liu Mi very afraid. Because, he knows very well that his so-called elixir of "fire to take the red phoenix pith in the south, and water to seek the black turtle essence in the North Sea" is actually just some lead and mercury compounds, and he naturally knows whether these things have the so-called medicinal effect of immortality. Therefore, sooner or later, the deception will always be exposed, and once the diorama is exposed, it is estimated that he will no longer have to deceive people, because the dead will not deceive people, at most they will deceive ghosts.
Liu Mi just wants to deceive people, not ghosts, no matter how luxurious life is, it is not as precious as life. In order to survive, he wants to quit and quit this scam that costs people's lives. Liu Mi obviously didn't think that since this was a deadly scam, once it started, it would be difficult to end, and it would never die!
Liu Mi didn't want to die, so he wanted to escape, of course, it was not okay for a person to run away secretly, because the whole world was not the king's land, and wherever he ran, he might not be able to escape the pursuit of the officers and soldiers. Therefore, if you want to escape, you must get Li Chun's consent and escape generously. How to make the Son of Heaven let himself go is a difficult problem, and after thinking about it, the cunning Liu Yu came up with an idea. On this day, he ran to Li Chun and said to Li Chun in a matter-of-fact manner, I want to go to Tiantai Mountain to find the legendary fairy grass, and ask Your Majesty to release me to eastern Zhejiang as an official.
For this immortal who "looks like a peach blossom body and looks like silver", Li Chun has always been obedient, this time, of course, is no exception, he generously arranged an official position for Liu Mi, an official position that is not too small, the history of the thorn, the history of the Taizhou thorn. However, Li Chun is not a complete fool, he made a request, a request that is not too excessive: give me a deadline.
This request is not too excessive, but it is like a thunderbolt in Liu Mi's ears, not only in his ears, but also in his heart. The deadline, no matter how long it is, he can't hand over what Li Chun wants. Isn't he given a suspended death sentence? However, in any case, it is good to live one more day, so go to office obediently!
