Chapter 61: Clear Qi
Thinking that the manuscript paper was still with Princess Jincheng, Xue Chongxun said goodbye and went back to Penglai Palace. At this time, it was getting late, and the people around Princess Taiping were dispersed one after another, and she was also preparing to bathe and rest. Every night, she washes her body with coral mud and some precious herbs, which according to the imperial physician maintains the elasticity of her skin.
The person who served Princess Taiping was Yuqing, and Yuqing didn't need to do this kind of errand, but she had to do it herself, and Princess Taiping could do it. This matter Yuqing has repeated many times, practice makes perfect, she is very skillful in painting, and after a while, Princess Taiping's body became black, as if she had just fallen into the swamp and just got up, and it was like a clay statue, but the extremely streamlined and dynamic shape on her chest was not so easy to artificially shape.
Yuqing rubbed her body evenly with his hands, and said: "Your Highness's face has been red recently, and her skin has not been slackened. If this continues, even if you can't ascend to the Dao, it should be possible to prolong your life for hundreds of years. ”
Princess Taiping smiled: "Peng Zu's generation is just a rumor, and the First Emperor can't live forever, how can I not be old?" ”
Yuqing said seriously: "Immortality is difficult to achieve, but living a few hundred years is not a nonsense. The reason why people are half a hundred years old is that they only live because their pure qi is blocked by the body. If you can break through the inner barrier with the qi of Neidan, even if you can't become an immortal, you can still be born naturally for hundreds of years. His Royal Highness now has a natural longevity, so he has to be ten out of one. ”
"So, I'm not still a child?" Princess Taiping was happy, although she didn't fully believe it, but she was still in a good mood, "Throughout the dynasties, the great unified dynasty is only a few hundred years, if I can live as long as Sheji, the world will be shared with Yuqing...... By the way, let Chongxun also practice Dan, if I really live as an 'old witch', but he is gone, wouldn't it be quite boring? ”
Yuqing frowned slightly after hearing this, and said angrily: "Your Majesty has not yet realized the Tao, go to the letter to the swaggering and deceitful Zhang Guolao in the Sanqing Palace, last month Zhang Guolao also presented a copy of the Yellow Emperor's internal scriptures, which is obviously to welcome the Yellow Emperor's indulgence, lust, lewdness, and pleasure, and has nothing to do with cultivation." The Tao is different, helpless. ”
Princess Taiping said: "I will persuade him another day, but he still listens to me." ”
Yuqing said quietly: "Your Highness refining the inner Dan Qing Qi, don't get close to the man and let the turbid qi intrude......"
"After I cultivated, how could I ever get close to a man? You're by my side all day long, you should know, it's enough to have you, don't have some fun. Don't be too careful, I'm a person with clear grievances, if it weren't for Yuqing's fate to go underground, I wouldn't forget and abandon you. Princess Taiping smiled and stretched out her fingers to gently pinch Yuqing's chin, and immediately painted her chin with a black mud, like drawing a beard, Princess Taiping laughed happily, and the blackened softness on her chest rippled like water waves.
Yuqing didn't smile: "Your Majesty is also a man." ”
Princess Taiping suppressed her smile and was stunned: "What does he have to do with this?" By the way, rub my shoulders tonight...... Do you want to get turbid even if you touch it? ”
"His mind is not pure, so it is easy for turbidity to invade His Highness's body." Yuqing Road.
Princess Taiping was a little unhappy, her eyebrows raised slightly, and she said coldly: "You are provoking our mother and son, I don't care about you because you never do politics, but you also have to be a little measured." ”
The atmosphere that was still filled with laughter just now seemed to drop in temperature suddenly, and Princess Taiping's words made the air feel cold. She is also a moody person, and provoking her is a serious thing to kill, but of course there are exceptions for Yuqing, so Yuqing is not afraid, but she is angry and does not speak, let alone beg for mercy and admit her mistakes.
Princess Taiping didn't care about her, she still walked into the bath and beckoned the attendants to come over to clean the medicinal mud on her body. At this time, Yuqing spoke and said to the palace maid, "I'll come." Then he took a towel and scrubbed it on Princess Taiping's body with an unhappy face. Taiping also poured a handful of water, gently washed the mud on Yuqing's chin, and comforted him with kind words. Seeing that Yuqing's lips were thin and smooth, and there was a quiet and clean temperament on her face, Taiping pinched her chin on a whim, leaned over and kissed her gently, and said, "Don't be angry, I will allow you whatever you want tonight." Yuqing's cheeks flushed slightly, and his cold expression gradually disintegrated.
Although the attendants around him were used to seeing it, they were still not used to the scene in front of them, and they all lowered their heads and looked at the floor.
Xue Chongxun took a car to Penglai Palace, asked someone to let Princess Jincheng put away her manuscript paper, and then went back to the dormitory in the main hall. The systematic inference of mathematics is still not completed, and it seems that I can only continue after a few days, and I really underestimated the difficulty of this matter before I started, even if I learned it well, it is not easy to derive a series of formula theories. And there is no one to help, and now no one but him understands this thing in the eighth century, just like Albert Einstein couldn't find anyone to help when he was studying the theory of relativity.
When he returned to his usual place, Yao Wan, a close attendant, heard that he had come back and came in, and while serving his trivial matters neatly, he began to talk. Now Yao Wan is no longer doing the work of serving people, and was sent by Xue Chongxun to the greenhouse hall to read the chapter, they have no authority to approve, they can only wait for the decision of the higher authorities before they can use the jade seal. However, she served Xue Chongxun from the Jin Palace's Mansion to Daming Palace for a few years, but she didn't do this recently, and she is still very familiar with her work.
"Most of the chapters have been handed over to the cabinet for discussion and disposal according to Lang Jun's wishes, but two days ago, there was a table from the envoy of the late Tubo clan, does Lang Jun want to listen to it?" Yao Wan said.
Xue Chongxun was about to take a bath and sleep, and he was fine, so he casually asked her to say something about it.
Yao Wan said: "In the autumn of this year, the city of Luo attacked the alliance of the Mo clan in the north, and the Mo clan people were defeated and lost a lot of pastures and population, and now they have sent envoys to Chang'an, to allow them to move inward and attach themselves to the Great Jin." The performance has arrived at the Daming Palace, and it may be that the envoy's men and horses will soon be able to arrive in Chang'an. ”
"Attached? Didn't they talk about it last year? Xue Chongxun said, "As soon as the Mo clan moves inward, won't some cities occupy most of the Tibetan land?" When the time comes, they will lose their restraint and will find our stubble, although the strength of Tibet in the past two years has not been as good as before, but it is still a big trouble. ”
Yao Wan said: "This time they seem to be unable to stand it before they came, if the imperial court does not agree to move inward, the Mo clan is very likely to surrender to Luoqicheng, and then Luoqicheng will get nearly half of the population, and its strength may be reinvigorated." ”
Xue Chongxun said with a smile: "After the death of the Emperor Zanpu, the successor Chisong Zanpu was young, and the actual power was the Tubo nobleman Lang clan, which was already full of contradictions with the Mo tribe, and after the war, the Mo clan was framed as the culprit of the death of the former Zampu, and the two sides were in a lot of blood debts in the past few years. In such a situation in the city of Luo, the end of the clan surrendered to the past and was waiting to be killed? I'm afraid that I will have to be exterminated before I can give up. That's why he would rather send people to Chang'an twice to ask for attachment than to hand over power to Luo Some City. It is impossible to surrender, for fear that the Mo clan will not be able to defeat and be forcibly swallowed by the city. ”
"Then what should I do with the performance of the Mo clan, Lang Jun will give an order or let the minister discuss and deal with it?"
Xue Chongxun pondered for a moment and said, "It's really difficult, I will go to Beijing tomorrow and send it to Chengxiang Hall for my mother to decide...... It would be nice if they could directly send reinforcements to the territory of the Mo clan, but most of the Han soldiers are not adapted to fighting in the plateau environment, and it may be of little use to transfer troops in the past and increase the pressure on logistics and supplies. The only way to do this is to increase the aid of food, weapons, and armor to the Mo clan. The strategic ministers of Tibet all knew that the mother would definitely consult with the ministers and let them do it, and it would not be a big problem. ”
He said that he took off his essence with the help of Yao Wan, and then rinsed it casually and dried it and went to bed, and he didn't call anyone to sleep, he almost fell asleep upside down, and he was indeed a little tired during this time. After living in Daming Palace for so long, I gradually adapted to such a living environment, at least I didn't often lose sleep. G
