75, the palace talks
The court was silent for a while, although the scholars of the Great Song Dynasty were very backbone, but they didn't dare to say anything in the face of my strong style, and finally Zhao Xu said: "The matter of moving the capital will be implemented within the year, and the three provinces and six ministries will discuss the relocation of the capital with the governor, and the relocation of the capital will be completed at the end of the year." I hope that our dynasty will move the capital for the sake of the people of the world and the prosperity of the society, instead of following the example of Tang Xuanzong and others who moved the capital because of the war. ”
After retreating from the court, Zhao Xu's eyes were blazing and said: "Please Murong Guoshi to follow me to the harem for a while, the national teacher is wise and martial, and I also have a lot of questions I want to ask for." ”
With Zhao Xu through a garden to Yanfu Palace, although the Great Song Dynasty is strong, but the palace is not grand, the main palace is about 5, the others are small palaces, to be honest, compared to some of the rich people are still insufficient, but this also reflects from the side that the officials of the Great Song Dynasty are still more restrained, which is also the Great Song Dynasty Although it has all kinds of shortcomings, it is still supported by the people and martial arts righteous people, the so-called wealth in the people is probably this meaning.
Yanfu Palace is a palace for rest and entertainment, and the tables and chairs in it are quite exquisite, and even ordinary palace maids are rare among the people. After the slender palace maid with condensed skin handed over the refreshments and retreated to the side, Zhao Xu smiled slightly: "After the trip to Western Xia, the prestige of the national teacher resounded throughout the government and the opposition, and the conservatives led by Lu Dafang and the Queen Mother attacked the national teacher everywhere and had a rebellious heart, and he would seek a series of positions in the future, which is extremely ridiculous." I think that the national teacher is the protector of the Great Song Dynasty given by God, and one day when the national teacher is there, my Great Song Dynasty will definitely be thriving, and the recovery of the sixteen states of Youyan is just around the corner. ”
I nodded and said: "The official family has a good reputation, the Great Song Dynasty is the official family after all, how to deal with state affairs is the official family's duty, Murong is just an idle person in the rivers and lakes, and he is dedicated to cultivation and asked, the matter of Hongchen still needs to be solved by the people in Hongchen." ”
Zhao Xu said disapprerovitously: "The prince is too modest, if there is no support from the son, how can I personally take power, you must know that when the queen mother lowered the curtain that day, Sima Guang's group of minions went to the court to salute and only bow to the queen mother, so that when the court was deliberating, I could only see the back or butt of the ministers, which is really hateful!" ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Xu clenched his fists tightly and continued, "What's more, with the support of Gongzi, many of my reform policies can be implemented smoothly, in addition to moving the capital, new laws such as the Qingmiao Law, the Baojia Law, and the City Yi Law have all been resumed, and due to the proper use of people, the implementation of the new law is much better than when Prime Minister Wang Anshi was there." In fact, the new law of the prince is not as unbearable as the Queen Mother and many other people criticize, the reason why there is a phenomenon of labor and money or damage to the livelihood of the people, is entirely because of improper employment, and the implementation of too radical and inconsiderate, I believe that as long as I am given another five years, the strength of my Great Song Dynasty will far surpass the Han and Tang Dynasties, and Aiqing and I will join forces, and we will definitely be able to surpass the prestige of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty! ”
I smiled slightly bitterly and said, "The official family is very loving, and Murong is grateful, but it's a pity that Murong likes to be prodigal by nature."
Yeyou, the matter of fighting for power and profit and hard work is not suitable for me, let me assist the official family like Wei Zheng and the eldest grandson Wuji, I am afraid that Murong will not be competent. What's more, Murong has no intention of this, all Murong can do is to protect the peace of the Great Song Dynasty for a hundred years, and the official family can also disband most of the forbidden army and let them go to farming and labor, which not only reduces the burden on the treasury, but also can further create more wealth, and the people are rich and the country is strong, and in a few years, our dynasty will inevitably far surpass the Liao State, and what is the difficulty in recapturing the sixteen states of Youyan when the time comes? ”
Zhao Xu stroked his palms and smiled when he heard this: "What Aiqing said is extremely true, since Gongzi is otherworldly and has no intention of being worldly, then can he stay in the capital, I have been yearning for the way of Taoist life for a long time, and I have long heard that Murong Gongzi is a Taoist leader, if I can teach something, I am willing to worship Mr. as a teacher!" In addition to the position of the national teacher, Mr. Zheng is also the emperor's teacher to teach me the way of immortality, how about it? ”
"The national teachers and emperors are all famous, but the official family has a heart for the Tao, which is a good thing," I said happily, "The official family is willing to get close to my Taoist family, which is naturally excellent." Although the way of immortality is slim, it is not untouchable, Taoism pays attention to going with the flow, not how cumbersome and complicated, the key is to practice it. The royal family has always admired Taoism and knows a lot about the way of nature, but it is a pity that several generations of emperors have not been able to start and finish well, which is the reason for the failure to fully understand humanity.
I pointed to the beautiful palace maids around Zhao Xu and said, "The palace maids serving around the official family are all stunning, I heard that the official family has recently favored Liu Meiren, lingering in the palace, Murong Guan Guan's official complexion, there is really a yang energy to wear off, the body is weak, and the crisis is lurking, you must not ignore it." ”
Zhao Xu smiled slightly: "If ordinary ministers or even ordinary people advise me to stay away from women, then that's fine, Emperor Murong said something that surprised me. The blend of yin and yang is both humane and heavenly, and I only prefer Liu Meiren, which is not an exaggeration, and it does not affect national affairs. In addition to the tedious state affairs, if you have beautiful eyes to serve, you can also relax. In addition, I am not a saint with a pure heart and few desires, the wives and concubines around me are rare in the world, and the new one who is married is the princess Yinchuan of the Western Xia Kingdom, how many men in the world are really envious. ”
I smiled slightly wryly, and unconsciously the wives and concubines around me were all rare beauties in the world, but I still said with a straight face: "The blend of yin and yang is indeed humane, but the official family is indeed overindulgent, you must know that things in the world are often too much, and the frequent affairs of men and women in the official family are already yang energy melting, and Shouyuan is damaged, if you don't control it, I'm afraid not only will you not see the day when the world will be unified, but there will be an unpredictable crisis within ten years."
Zhao Xu heard what I said, and frowned: "Then with Mr. Yi, how can I deal with myself in order to get rid of this crisis." Murong Gongzi is obviously not a person who does not eat fireworks, if there is any clever plan, I hope to give advice, I am the world, if I can start well and finish well, I must treat all the people in the world well, serve the national teacher as a heavenly man, and dare not be lazy. ”
I waved my hand and said: "The official family is serious, in fact, the way of heaven is also humane, if the official family can abide by the following three points, it must not be difficult to start and finish well: first, the heart is pure and has few desires, the official family is currently in the body of yang qi failure, and it is indeed necessary to recuperate for a year before they can get close to the woman; the second is to recuperate from the official family, and at the same time use the pill of Peiyuan Guji to restore yang energy; The third is to often recite the "Diamond Sutra" and the "Tao Te Ching" two scriptures to enlighten wisdom and virtue. In fact, the danger of the official family, excessive indulgence, weak body is just the appearance, in the final analysis, the Empress Dowager Gao cultivated the official family too strictly, failed to establish a deep moral prestige, so that the external evil has an opportunity to take advantage of, resulting in today's danger, so I hope that the official family will cultivate more morality and politics on weekdays, and maintain health with virtue is the royal road. ”
After hearing this, Zhao Xu immediately stood up and bowed and saluted: "I have admired Mr. Murong for a long time, and Mr. is willing to take the trouble to recuperate for me, Zhao Xu is grateful!" At the moment, he listened to the guidance of his husband, cultivated himself, and concentrated on state affairs. I only hate Xu as an emperor in this life, and I can't always follow my husband to explore the way of cultivating the true alchemy and immortality. ”
My heart moved, and I thought of the Immortal Valley, so I said: "It's my duty to restore the health of the official family, but I just listen to the official family, and the palace is quite involved in the way of cultivating the true alchemy?" I wonder if I can let Murong see a thing or two? ”
Zhao Xu immediately waved his hand and said, "Come on, set up the Ninghe Palace." ”
As Zhao Xu came to the Ninghe Hall near Yanfu Palace, before he got close, there was a faint fragrance of the elixir, I sniffed lightly, shook my head and said: "The elixir gathers ginseng, angelica, He Shou Wu and other multi-flavored high-quality medicinal materials, but unfortunately it has not been able to refine the essence, integrate it, and obtain the essence of alchemy. ”
"Who dares to say that the pill refined by this Dao has limited efficacy, but dare to come in and compare with Yu." As soon as the words fell, an old man with white hair and fairy bones rushed out, and when he saw Zhao Xu and I and a group of people, he was slightly stunned, and then knelt down and saluted, "Luoyang Yu Qingfeng meets the official family." ”
"That's it, Daoist Yu invites you to get up," Zhao Xu said lightly, "This is my national master of the Murong Dynasty, and also the leader of the Dao Sect in the world, just now the national master said that the Dao Chief's pill has not obtained the essence of alchemy, which is quite reasonable, and the effect of taking the Dao Chief's pill has been limited recently, and the Dao Chief's Dan Dao attainments have really disappointed me." ”
Yu Qingfeng said anxiously: "Don't listen to Murong Guoshi's one-sided words, you must know that the national teacher is just a martial artist in the rivers and lakes, even if the swordsmanship is superb, how can I know the subtleties of my Taoist Dandao, Peiyuan Guben Pill originally needs to be taken for a long time to be effective, you must know that if you want to be fast, you can't reach it, and you also hope that the official family will be clear." ”
Zhao Xu turned his head to look at me with an inquiring meaning in his eyes, and I smiled slightly: "Yes, Murong is indeed a martial artist, and he knows very little about the art of alchemy, but there happen to be a few masters of pills, and they can still distinguish one or two from the quality of pills." Let's take the Peiyuan Guben Pill that Your Excellency is refining, this pill is used for mortal fire, and it fails to refine the essence of medicinal materials, so that different medicinal materials can complement each other, and the actual medicinal effect is just an ordinary big tonic pill, am I right or not? ”
"This ......" Yu Qingfeng was under tremendous pressure under my gaze, and finally collapsed, "The official family forgives the sin, and the old Taoist is also eager to treat the official family, so he will accelerate the alchemy, so that the pill is not good." Please give Lao Dao a while longer, and the poor Dao will definitely refine the golden pill that satisfies the officials and national teachers. ”
I shook my head and said, "Daoist Yu, for the sake of fellow martial artists, I didn't want to say anything, but since you are dead-skinned, then I'm not welcome." Not only is the actual effect of your elixir limited, but it even has the evil effect of stimulating yang qi and causing the consumption of yang qi to accelerate, if you continue to take it, it will only hollow out the official family's body and lead to a huge loss of longevity. ”
Zhao Xu was furious when he heard this: "Come on, drag me down, torture me, and see why this person dares to use inferior pills to deceive me." ”
Yu Qingfeng was dragged down by the soldiers of the forbidden army on the left and right, and stared at me viciously before leaving: "Murong Fu, you dare to hinder my Shaoyang faction's preaching and alchemy, and the head and elders of my sect will definitely not let go of this hatred!" ”
I turned my head to Zhao Xu and said: "It turns out that this person is instructed by the Shaoyang faction, please ask the official family to learn clearly, the Shaoyang faction is famous for the Dan Dao, but he sent this bad disciple into the palace for alchemy, his heart can be punished, please find out the main messenger and punish it severely, and at the same time prohibit the Shaoyang faction from preaching alchemy." ”
Yu Qingfeng was stunned when he heard this, and he felt regret and hatred in his heart, but he had been dragged out by the forbidden army.
